elizabeth cobbs.uest: i would respectfully disagree. although i absolutely empathize with his worry and concern that decades upon decades, your whole life, american soldiers have been dying in various places in the interesting thing about that is that number has declined. the 24-hour news cycle future mining is all terrible things that are happening tends to overlook the longer-term trend, that trend has been made fortive by globalization, the reason that before world war ii, the idea was the other way a country to get ahead, countries like the soviet union or nazi germany thought they had to take over other countries and absorb their resources to become more wealthy. instead what happened is we developed a world system where you can get ahead in trading feasibly with your neighbors and that system that the vietnamese, the south koreans and also the chinese communists have come to embrace because they see in action works better, not that we won, in fact, we lost in vietnam and the chinese came to this

. >> elizabeth cobbs? >> deborah, i completely understand what you're saying. know that's the common belief and there's a lot of evidence for it, but what we tend to not remember or not even really know is the extent to which other countries have asked for us for our protection. sometimes you look at what's happened and you say, gosh, why dntd th didn't they all just kick us out? we have bases all around the world. why do we still have those bases? because those countries actually want us there. most of the places where american soldiers serve abroad, south korea, japan. they're in britain. they're in germany, et cetera, italy. and if the united states was an empire, they could ask us to leave. and the crazy thing is, america isn't an empire, because we would leave. in fact, france kicked us out in 1966, i think it was, '67. what did the united states do? it left. same is true of the philippines. so because we live here, we're very aware of our own motivations, but if you travel abroad and you work some abroad, what you realize is that a lot of those folks want

still to come, music from brent cobb.son in the world. you can see him realizing that dream on the journey called "jeff ross presents roast battle" tuesday nights at 10:00 p.m. on comedy central. please welcome jeff ross! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: there we go. i feel like i should maybe be saluting you with your garb. >> hello there. >> jimmy: what's going on with this jacket? >> i'm in full roast mode. >> jimmy: this is a big weekend for you. >> this is like my biggest week. i love roast week so much. >> jimmy: i think of this like easter and you're the bunny. or like jerry lewis telethon and you're jerry. >> don rickles used to say, every roast i dress up it's like jewish halloween. >> jimmy: you always have a costume of some kind. the comedy central roast, which is a cherished annual event, bruce willis is the person you're roasting. >> yes, we're roasting him on sunday night. >> jimmy: were you at all concerned going into this, because bruce willis can be very quiet. >> right. >> jimmy: and intimidating. >>

it makes abundantly clear that the strategy was created by ty cobb and john dowd. christy seems to be on board with the strategy. let's watch him from yesterday. >> this shows what a c-level the president had at the beginning in ty cobb and john dowd. you never waive that, absolutely not. it put don mcgahn in an impossible situation. once you waive that privilege, turnover all the documents, don mcgahn has no choice then but to go in and answer everything, every question they can ask him. and this is not in the president's interest. it wasn't in the president's interest. if he had gotten good legal advice at the time, he would have done something a little less, i'm confident it's bad legal advice, bad lawyering, and this is the result of it. >> so, chris christie obviously on the save don mcgahn team. is it going to work? >> well, look, he makes a point there in terms of obviously not wanting don mcgahn to go in there because he could provide insight into what the thinking was behind all these different decisions. if you're in the room when the president is making

cobb wants to cooperate with the special counsel. mcgahn is saying, hey, i want to know how much executive privilege the president is going to assert. >> yeah, that's right. what's is notable about that conversation is that don mcgahn was the one who was the advocate for asserting executive privilege and for pumping the brakes on cooperation in the name of executive privilege, and he could sense, maybe not before, but certainly after we wrote that story of that overheard conversation that things were not headed his way. in other words, that the president's lawyers, dowd and cobb, decided they were going to adopt this strategy of a more sort of robust cooperation and document production to the special counsel and that mcgahn might find himself on the short end of that stick potentially, even as you alluded to and we suggest in our reporting thrown under the bus and set up as the guy who is somehow obstructing the inquiry. he did a full 180. not only did he come to the other side's thinking and cooperating with the special counsel, but

>> this was ty cobb and john dowd who wanted an open door policy.nted at the very beginning to be as open and transparent and waive all of the privileges. that was the beginning. now really cannot the legal counsel for donald trump and they are doing the exact opposite. they don't want people to talk. they actually think there was a mistake made with don mcgahn. things have changed over the course of the last year and a half in what was obvious to so many people as there's nothing to hide that than talk and now people are beginning to worry there may be something to hide. i think what don mcgahn is looking to do is cover his proverbial. i think that is what you see here was when we believe we don't know. he wants to make sure that he survives the trump administration and not so interesting about what happens with mueller. >> it's amazing the historical figures resurfacing. allusions to mccarthyism, watergate. john dean himself treating about this vein i doubt the president has any idea what he is told mueller. also nixon knew i was meeting with pros

it's hard for me to believe that he would have gone in against the opposition of cobb and dowd.hat i think really went on. ty cobb and john dowd thought that the investigation was primarily about collusion/conspiracy having to do with the russians and the election. they felt that the president was on very solid ground there. they have said that from the beginning. i don't think they realized what a broad concept of obstruction bob mueller has. and it is a very broad, unusually broad view of obstruction from everything that we've seen. and i think now they may look at it differently. but even as we speak now, we don't know what mcgahn said or that mcgahn has damaged the president. like so much in this investigation, we'll have to wait until it plays out. >> we don't know out, and you're very good to point that out. but mcgahn has been present for a number of key moments that we do know the special counsel is looking into. the firing of james comey being one, getting jeff sessions to unrecuse himself, the president telling mcgahn to fire robert mueller. "the new york times" findin

cobb good, efficient all day. goes the distance. fourth complete game of his career.oles beat the independent lanc 4-2. >>> there has been talk throughout training camp how deep the redskins team is. many players and coachers this it is the deepest and could be the best team gruden has had during his time in dc.g runnback, second round pick went down in the season opener with aorn acl. two others suffered injuries in the win or the jets. the redskins are down to three healthy running backs. that's reit. they waiting on thompson'sro returnm last i don't remember's broken leg. kelly is the most experienced in the group. undrafted rookie martez carter looked good against the js the other night but he was released today after suffering injury in that game. redskins ranked 28th in rushing in 2017. and afterthursday's game, jay grudensure of who will carry the load moving forward. >> we are still in the pcess of trying to figure that out. kelly and ryan, want to give oo imagineed looks. he had a 30 yard run and hurt his ankle. byro got dingedup. kelly got a few touches. con

the president's first legal team that was led by john dowd and ty cobb, ty cobb, most viewers will rememberad that terrific mustache that people remember and just trying to give a visual to remember who the previous legal team was. they took the president at his word. he did nothing wrong. full cooperation. don mcgahn was operating under that principle. now you have rudy giuliani leading an -- emmitt flood leading the cause here. flood believes in fighting the access here. so mcgahn sort of caught in the middle and now, willie, to connect some dots here, i have a better understanding, i think, of why rudy giuliani is so emphatic not letting the president sit down with robert mueller, that is because robert mueller amay have an eyewitness to obstruction in don mcgahn and makes him such a lethal witness here. he could send up essentially being an unintentionally whistle-blower allowed to talk to mueller by the president due to -- due to an old legal strategy. >> yeah. the times reports that mcgahn's testimony goes to the heart of those questions about obstruction. you'll have a lot to ask rud

. >> reporter: professor kim cobb has spent her career measuring the effect of climate change on coral reefs. she says the past few summers have surprised even the most seasoned scientists. >> this is a world that i personally thought may be ten or more years off. it's not that i didn't know this kind of thing was coming. i didn't think it was going to come right now. so, it is a shock. it is a shock, frankly. i really thought we had more time. >> reporter: without tighter rules on emissions, cobb expects to see the earth's climate get hotter raising the stakes along with the temperature. matt bradley, nbc news. >>> nasa launched an extraordinary mission today, a $1.5 billion spacecraft which aims to be the first to touch the sun or at least its outer atmosphere. it blasted off from cape canaveral today. our tom costello has more on the mission and the scientist who has waited more than 60 years for this liftoff. >> reporter: cutting through the silence of space nasa's parker solar probe is lightning fast, traveling at 430,000 miles per hour and built to withstand temperatures of 2,500

i really thought we had more time. >> reporter: without tighter rules and emissions, cobb expects to see the earth's climate get even hotter, raising the stakes along with the temperature. matt bradley, nbc news. >> we can't say we didn't see it coming. >> no, we can't. >> the signs have been around a long, long time now. bill karins? >> it's pretty crazy. i hope you saw it, glacier national park hit 100 degrees the first time ever in the last few days when they had the heat wave in the northwest. records go back to 1943. 70, 80-year period. still, glacier national park, better get there soon. let's talk about what's happening in the east today. more rainy days, slow moving weather systems. this has been the trend over the last, what, month at least, with a lot of moisture, high humidity values in areas of the eastern portion of new england. we're going to see it again today with numerous showers and thunderstorms and downpours are possible. today the favorite area is going to be eastern and central pennsylvania. of course we get in the mountainous areas, worry about flashlg flooding

john dowd and ty cobb did not seek to find out. >> why not? that seems curious. >> i can't speak to why they did not think that was worth doing but almost every lawyer i have spoken with has been aghast that that is how the process went. >> then, explain to reporting that after your initial reporting about the accounting he gave, more than any of us had known, that the white house seemed to be caught off guard by that. >> well, the white house was not fully aware as you just noted of what exactly was said by mcgahn in the interviews and they really didn't -- there's a difference between the white house and the lawyers. a lot of people in the white house are just fine not knowing what was said because they don't want to know and don't want to be sucked further into this. trump's lawyers and some advisers did not know. believe they have known -- it is only becoming clear since our story that a lot more went on than they realized or they had been led to believe by mcgahn's lawyer. they are now in a bit of a scramble to figure it out. i'm not sure

one of the emit was brought to ty cobb that was an indication that don mcgahn was preparing to leave emit flood is the a friend and colleague of his person he would like to have as white house counsel. people began discussing that mcgahn might leave as early as this summer and wait in the midterm elections. then rumors started flying about the pending retirement of justice anthony kennedy and mcgahn would likely want to stay on through kavanaugh's confirmation. we saw out president's tweet about that. let's listen to what the president said about the white house counsel don mcgahn just a moment ago. ago. >> good man. excellent guy. don mcgahn is a really good guy. been with me for a long time privately before this he represented me. he has been here now it will be almost two years. a lot of affection for don. and he will be moving on probably the private sector, maybe the private sector and he dual very well. but he has done an excellent job. >> any concern about what he said to the mueller team? >> no. not at all. not at all. >> president asked about what mcgahn said to the mueller

the present'sirst legal team that was led by john dowd and ty cobb, ty cobb remember that he had thatrific mustache. i'm trying to give people a visual of who the preous team was. they had counseled, they took he president at his word, did nothing wrong, full cooperation. don mcgahn was operating under that principle. now rudy giuliani and emmitt flood are leading theause here. flood, a veteran of the clinton years believes in fighting the access here. mcgahn is sort of caught in the middle and now,e, wil to sort of connect some dots here, i have a better understanding of y rudy giuliani is emphatic about not letting the president sit down robert mueller. mueller may have an eyewitness to obstruction in don mcgahn. that makes him a lethal witness here. he could end up essentially being an unintentional whisin blower that was allowed to speak to mueller duen to old legal strategy. >> mcgahn's testimony goes to the heart of the questions about obstruction. you'll have a lot to ask rudy giuliani and john brennan on "meet the press" this morning. he likes having john brennan as a foe and

she would eat a third of a cobb salad at lunch. you felt huge next to her. it was always terrible because she would gossip-- she would always do more gossip than i did. for me it was i don't know man. -- i don't know miss. yes it's terrible.>> i just noted that president. reagan had such an effect on our language and sense of national identity, people think that jesus said shining on the hill. she looked up at me and said, well that's the kind of thing ronnie would do, isn't it? may we all be loved as nancy loved ronnie reagan. >>> recently the presidential library reviewed a unique film collection. joining us on the phone is library direct to. what is this film collection?>> she was an assistant to roosevelt and was with him for more than 20 years and was a close friend of the family as well. she lived in the white house and she became intrigued with film cameras. she would film a number of these informal picnics events and lunches and part of this collection were films from other people who gave home movies that were included in her collection. she had a s

wade decision will likely be discussed in confirmation hearings for brent cobb and he -- brett kavanaugh. with davidscussion savage on the judge kavanaugh nomination. in 1982, you wrote justice kennedy's opinion had affirmed the right to an abortion "probably for all time." how does that statement hold up today? mr. savage: what i remember about 1982, when they decided that case in late june, it was the most surprising decision i had seen in the 30 years i was doing it. because in the spring of 1992, it looked like there were 5, 6, maybe seven votes to cut back on the right to abortion or overturn roe v. wade. that seemed to be where we were heading. i spent the summer talking to the justices. i remember sitting and talking to justice scalia, and he was steamed up about what happened. i wrote a long story in the fall , sort of reconstructing what had happened inside the courtroom and that is where that quote must have come from, because i remember i was trying to explain to the editors, this was not just another abortion decision, this was an earthquake. and there is now a majority that

increased watch and deterrent no different than putting a police officer on a beat yeah yeah it is cobb's don't follow random people around who aren't suspected of a crime and see if they're blinking all right. i'm not saying no cop has ever beaten someone for going to my door for using the bathroom too much but they're not tasked with taking notes about bathroom habits d.s.t. difference i mean it's tough to overstate this are two men who literally follow us around to make sure we behave ourselves. it sure is a free country and this is the airport i'm free to use the bathroom no more than once. i'm free to have body odor if it's the appropriate amount but i'm free to be aware of my surroundings to a certain extent. i believe it was founding father patrick henry who said give me liberty within reason. the words of washington university law professor john turley had this to say there may be indeed constitutional issues here depending on how restrictive or intrusive these measures are intrusive all right we we've got not so bright guys with guns ready to fire at a moment's notice because i h

i want to recognize jack, john's friend and cobb at controlled teammate who is still recovering from recent injury. combat's friend and , who is stillte recovering from a recent injury. >> [applause] pres. trump: looks like you are doing well. doing well? thank you. finally, we salute the five congressional medal of honor recipients who join us. barnum,lliams, harvey edward byers, brian thacker, and britt stravinsky. please stand. >> [applause] pres. trump: brave people, three months ago, i awarded the medal of honor for heroic actions in the same battle we are remembering today. john chapman grew up in connecticut. from a very young age, john was determined to protect those in need. in kindergarten, john noticed that his classmate was being bullied, as he says, john stepped in and saved me. in his high school yearbook, john quoted these words, give yourself before taking up someone else. very farsighted. john lived by that motto, every single day. everybody that new him said that is the way he lived. graduatedafter he from high school, john enlisted in the united states air force. h

you were disagreeing at some point go ahead jump in to my dear friend the intellectually sapient mr cobb i disagree in one respect what roger ailes di fox news as we knew it di absolutely die next with a d.c. fox merger does the right thing to me fox merger even though they swear that the news division is different you are seeing a watered down and the dying saccharin version of what was once fox at its and you can argue about this best and the like with all due respect also my dear friend peter what you like has nothing to do with what these people are interested in this is a twenty four seven runaway train that you want to be run away you have to keep feeding the boiler then you are pouring everything into it you have a newsroom with twenty something i'm sorry to say per d.m. folks who i have no journalistic ability know no experience of any kind of t.v. or whatever they're just there to click and just feed ok i'll sit but now you know there's no room for correction but if i did that but the point is here is this dividing the country i mean i understand how it's made and why it's made

he replaced ty cobb in may as the in-house counsel on the russia investigation. flood is known as a pro who has represented george w. bush, former vice president dick cheney and bill clinton but one person is concerned about mcgahn's departure, chuck grassley tweeted this morning i hope it's not true mcgahn is leaving the white house counsel. you cannot let that happen. people who know mcgahn believe he will head to his law firm of jones day after leaving the white house. back to that article about mcgahn cooperating with mueller, a lot of people here at the white house saw that as mcgahn telegraphing the signal to jones day among other people that his time here at the white house was not spent defending the president. it was spent defending the presidency. and some people believe it also might have played into this idea the president was willing to tweet out this morning that mcgahn will be gone soon after the confirmation, hopefully, of brett kavanaugh. >> dana: we appreciate it, john. thank you. florida voters picking their candidate to be the next governor of

it seems someone is trying to lay some blame on dowd and cobb. it seems part of what i'm getting here in the subtext and between the lines is leak, look, boss, or i don't know who is saying it, these other guys screwed you when they told you to cooperate. if it ends up being unfavoritable to you, like they're the ones to blame in. >> i like the way you're thinking, chris, because there is a -- there's definitely a subtech here. it's not exactly that, though. i this think the subtext is there is a battle going on since the spring of 2017 about what was the right legal strategy for the president. right? and so ty cobb, who came in a little after dodd, the two agreed on something, that was at the start, let's get this thing rolling. let's not fight with grand jury appearances and testimony for staffers. let's get all the documents released. let's sends them all on over to mueller and let him sort through this there were two reasons they did that. one was they believed very strongly in a 1990 case a ruling, which a clinton era case, which basically s

hey, joyce, cobb and dowd, their decision to waive confidentiality, that may go down as one of the more consequential decisions of late for our republic, correct? >> i think that's right. and they base their decision according to the reporting on the president's guarantee to them that he had done nothing wrong. so they responded, great, you've done nothing wrong. the best way to bring this to a quick termation would be for you to be completely open. so when robert costa refers to don mcgahn protesting this sxroech permitting mcigan himself to be interviewed by mueller, it is because mcgahn as white house counsel represents not the president but the presidency. so he was thinking about the legal precedent this would set going forward, where future prosecutors, future investigators, would say, well, during the trump presidency, you were open and we had access to people. and he might have wanted to restrict that a little bit more as the clinton president zi during a similar investigation. so a little bit of an interesting mislocation of the viewpoints here. >> let's talk about what mcgahn

quinton cobb has been at fixture in politics since 1961 serving as a supervisor, state senator and as a judge. he is saying the secret service he used for a february business trip to india was an ethics violation. the lawmaker says the secret service has ignored repeated requests for he can pens reports under the freedom of information act. >> it is private business at the expense of business. i am a taxpayer. i resent it. >> cobb says once he receives and examines the records his attorneys will file a lawsuit on behalf of taxpayers to be reimbursed by the trump servicem on what is now an active lawsuit. >>> what happens with all of our recycling? aro recycled material each day. this is just some of it here. for years it's been shipped to china. recently china changed the rules leaving us with mounds and mounds of recyclables and trash. nbc bay area's ted brock joins us from the ecology center with the problem that has many companies searching for answers. >> reporter: the main question here is pretty simple. what do we do with all of this if china doesn't want to take it anymore? com

argue one go that i was going to ask you a hypothetical question or a rhetorical question watched cobbs face now but do you think these democratic folks recognize that if for some reason under the rules if trump is removed mike pence is the president do you think that in their in their verily ok but you've never even fly a lot of hair and absolutely are successful you're absolutely right but this again kind of confirms i guess what most of us are saying here and most viewers that are watching this program they don't think these. things through very well do they ok i mean that's why it's called trying to wrangle the senate above was because well no i mean i do think mike my pants wouldn't bother me and i said it ok please do well first of all i'm going i'm going to kind of side with this with patrick and lionel here. the liberals have over promised and under delivered and been promising and preachment they've been promising the end of trump every day and people are tiring of it there and it's beginning to make them look a little ludicrous where or where is this impeachment where is this

. >>> former state senator quinton cobb is suing to get information about the president's son, donaldr. he has asked records from the secret service about a trip trump took to india earlier this year with a full compliment of security. trump argues it was actually a private trip subsidized with taxpayer money. >> he was selling condos and inviting people to invest in other trump property. and they're tricksters, in my book. he did it under the guise of some meeting on an issue of state. >> cobb and his legal team say they have already filed an open records request, but the secret service didn't comply. abc 7 contacted the secret service today, which said it is aware of the suit but cannot comment on pending litigation. >>> the los angeles subway system has become the first in the nation to use portable body scanners to screen passengers for weapons and explosive s sid garcia from our sister station in los angeles showing us how it works. >> it is called through vision. this is the newest technology that is going to be used to detect weapons. l.a. county, metro, it's the first public t

remember, ty cobb, john dowd, not rudy giuliani and jay, his current legal advisers representing him personally. i want to bring in cnn legal analyst carrie cordero on the phone now, the former counsel to the u.s. assistant attorney general for national security and first, your reaction to this reporting. what stands out? >> this new reporting from michael and maggie really adds a lot of detail that we've never seen before in terms of the role that don mcgahn is playing with respect to the special counsel's investigation. it really -- one thing that struck me was the information that it provides regarding don mcgahn's lawyer, bill burke, and his surprise at the fact that don mcgahn was permit bted by t white house lawyers to be able to be voluntarily interviewed so it's really important to note, he has conducted these interviews by the special counsel's office voluntarily. he was not subpoenaed. he was not compelled to appear. he's done three voluntary interviews. he would have a lot of information about the president's mindset and the intent that would be relevant to the obstruction

remember, the president's first outside team of attorneys, ty cobb and john dowd. so they made no effort to keep him from those interviews. mcgahn who represents the office of the presidency and not donald trump himself really had no choice but to cooperate fully and answer truthfully. president trump and rudy giuliani say they're confident mcgahn didn't provide any incriminating information. some of the president's advisers are concerned mcgahn's statements to the special counsel could be key, if the team, the special counsel team, is building a case based on the series of the president's actions. >> i want to bring in my panel. doug burn, former federal prosecutor. christine quinn, vice chair of the state democratic party. so doug, so much to get to. so "the new york times" says it wasn't until saturday when trump's legal team opens up their "new york times," they see the story and realize they don't have a full accounting of what don mcgahn said to the special counsel. what? >> no, it is property yes amazing. it's like a football coach, as dumb as that might sou

the average act scores for african-americans was 22 in cobb county. middle-class african-americans moving to the county from florida, from new york, california. i just had the skills to be able to calm the media down and the board down so i could get to go back to dallas. my successor who was also my predecessor leaves town quickly and they look around and go mikey likes it, let's see if he comes back. they asked me to come back and said what are you going to do? i said, look, now get to the real issue of equity. this is what the whole theme of your initiative is. what is equity? that's giving the most to those who don't have. how do you do that? if it is a zero-sum game, if you guys -- raise your hand if you have new money. i didn't see any hands go up. you can give the new money to the ones who need it the most. but if it's a zero-sum game and there is no new money and you've got to give resources to the ones who need it the most, you've got to get it from somewhere. that's where you have winners and losers. there is where it becomes dicey. by the w

. >> some democrats are saying that the nomination for brent cobb -- brett kavanaugh should be put on hold because of the legal developments yesterday. hawaii's senator put out a statement saying that this president was an unindicted co-conspirator in a criminal matter and doesn't deserve the courtesy of a meeting with his nominee. what is your reaction to that? >> this is a desperate and pathetic attempt by democrats to obstruct a highly qualified nominee. the hearing date has been set and judge kavanaugh will be there. >> trade talks between the united states and china are resuming. the president earlier this week expressed low expectations for the talks. i'm wondering if that has changed and what you would like to see come out of these discussions. >> as you said, these conversations are continuing. i don't have any announcements on them. they are ongoing. we would like to see better trade deals for the united states. the president wants to see free, fair, or more reciprocal trade between other countries, particularly with china. we will continue in those conversations. >> does the

. >>> in the last hour, former state senator quinton cobb filed a lawsuit in san francisco against the u.s. secret service. he wants to see records related to donald trump jr.'s protection detail while on a private trip to india in february. he says the records were requested twice but there has been no response from the secret service. a violation of the freedom of information act. he says for a president who boasts that his personal wealth and donating his salary, it is inconsistent for taxpayers to foot the bill for his adult children's security on private business trips. >>> happening now, hoping the improve some children's lives. building bicycles for children in san jose. our reporter is live at the boys and girls club in silicon valley. >> volunteers have been at it since 10:00 this morning and they won't stop until 3:00 this afternoon. this is all part of the volunteers initiative. you're looking at the boys and girls club silicon valley bike shop. tuesday more than more than 150 lowe's home improvement stores took part in the hard part. constructing 150 bicycles for kids. >> w

remember, the president said time and time again he wanted the russia probe to wrap up quickly, so ty cobb and john dowd took him at his word that he did nothing wrong and really suggested this open book strategy. the other things that don mcgahn as a government attorney who represents the office of the presidency and not donald trump himself really had no choice but to cooperate and answer questions truthfully. those questions that were posed by investigators. had he not chosen to do so, mueller certainly could have compelled him to do it. so you hear the president, you hear rudy giuliani, you hear top administration aides all make the point that don mcgahn's cooperation won't pose a problem for the president. of course we don't know that to be true until mueller finishes his work and issues this report to congress. >> it sounds like giuliani isn't sure what the testimony was about. giuliani continued to make headlines yesterday. one thing he said is about a shifting story about the 2016 trump tower meeting. what happened there? >> reporter: well, he completely misrepresented the record s

the point is, early on, under tye cobb and the early lawyers, they made a decision to be cooperative and not rely on attorney/client privileges, therefore, mcgahn went in and spoke. the problem is the insinuation or concept he is testifying against the president, he's the next john dean from watergate era, all of that isn't legally the case. however, at the same time, as you just said, you are right, dara, you can get a lot of insight from a lawyer who goes in and is willing to discuss the context of many of the discussions. i think, i just want everybody to be fair. i don't think it's fair to jump to conclusions he is testifying against him and he is john dean, i don't see it that way. >> how does he get around attorney/client privileges? >> great question. the counsel, if you were called in for an interview, he could turn around and say, attorney/client privilege on the discussions with the president and serving executive privilege, the parameters, which are the president in his capacity. if you listen to mayor giuliani and others, apparently, early on, the strategy was to cooperat
