condoleezza rice : paul was confirmed unanimously. as the tradition the country has set for this job. my colleague said who in america does not think of president, democrat or republican deserves his or her pics for the agency. that's the answer to his own question. apparently it's no longer the answer. senator kerry later said in 2009 it's essential we provide the tools and resources we need to change. it starts by making sure we have the national security team in place is soonest possible. there were not confirmed because republicans agreed with everyone other policy positions. because everyone agreed with everyone of their votes. they were qualified to do the job in the president who nominated them deserve to have place. the same standard should be delivered to pompeo. he is qualified for the job and graduated first in his class at west point 1986. he served as -- before the berlin wall. after he edited the log review and he's a man of great accomplishment before hand or politics. he also into successful businesses before he was el

joining us tomorrow, former secretary of state condoleezza rice. brand-new book and brand-new perspective on all that this president is accomplishing. stay with us. good night from new york. kennedy: the iranians are lying about their nuclear weapons program and they can never be trusted. this according to israeli prime minister ben gentleman anyone netanyahu who today says he has the evidence to prove it. and the president saying he's 100% right about iran and the bad deal. will he pull out of the contract? it was aimed squarely at the white house. so how does the prime minister know the iranians are up to no good? his spy stole some secret documents. watch. >> from the

bush and condoleezza rice, and condoleezza rice is one of the many secretaries of state to talk about that in this book. we talk at length about chris hill, the lead negotiator on those six-party talks at that point. when he attempted that, we had an entire north korea unit at the state department, experts who were steeped in this, and it's an over-simplification to say that was a complete failure. while in the end we didn't get what we wanted there were huge inroads made. they shut down some of their plants for the very first time. i think the disappointment for the experts is each time we may inroads, a new administration stepped away. right now we're at a point where we haven't leveraged any of those gains on the past, and indeed seem to be throwing out all the people who know to you will leverage those gains. >> it's not just that they have not filled positions, but they have actually in many cases swept out lots of area experts, lots of substance, people who understand nuclear weapons, things like that. >> the state department is being decimated as we speak. i tell a stories of a

rex tillerson, 43, but condoleezza rice, colin powell, john kerry, hillary clinton, condoleezza rice.ngs were good in the bush administration, clinton administration, even the obama administration. but secretary of state, it was, okay, the president deserves his team. this is mostly about trump, if not all about trump. >> it is. a democratic member who is not in a red state, not up for reelection, you're listening to what your base is saying, and they want to resist. they want to fight him at all costs. mike pompeo is qualified for this position, but clearly, the senate caucus want to fight trump tooth and nail. you do have this handful of red state democrats who view this as an opportunity to break from the natural party, to side with the president which is why you're seeing heidkamp vote for this nominee, but you'll probably also see joe donnelly vote for this nominee, probably one or two more. they'll barely scrape by. there are two other nominees, gina haspel, cia director. most of these don't want to be voting no most of the time. maybe they'll vote against one of them, but not a

condoleezza rice was confirmed by a vote of 85 to 13 on the senate floor.e unanimously voted in favor of colin powell's nomination. now to our nominee and to his qualifications. he graduated first in his class from west point, first in his class. he served our nation in uniform as a cavalry officer, patrolling the iron curtain before the fall of the berlin wall. and as he testified in this committee, it was there he learned the power of diplomacy and the effect we can have on the world through appropriate diplomacy. i think all of us know those men and women who've worn the uniform, the people we hold on the highest pedestal. we know they more than anyone respect diplomacy, because they know if it is successful, it's the thing that keeps our men and women out of harm's way. mike pompeo knows that. he stated that clearly with conviction, and i think we all know that. he graduated from harvard law school, having been an editor of the harvard law review. that was after serving in the military. he founded his own company, serving as ceo for more than a decade,

condoleezza rice was voted in with 80 votes. i don't think they can dispute the fact that he is qualified for this job. in is a man who has been successful in everything he has done. from humble beginnings, he goes to west point, he graduates at the top of his class. he then is an army officer. he is there before the wall came down. he was an officer in germany patrolling the iron curtain. he then goes to law school after having served in the military. he goes to harvard law school and ends up being an editor of harvard and graduates cum laude. he goes into business and deals with national security issues. he runs for the house of representatives and is elected. he's on the intelligence committee in the house and so has the ability to get well versed on a lot of the classified information needed to be able to understand, again, the danger and volatility we face in the country today and well regarded in the house on both sides of the aisle. by the way, he was confirmed by this same body as c.i.a. director by a vote of 66 senators

confirmed was 94-three, hillary clinton 94-2, condoleezza rice, it 85-13, colin powell was confirmed unanimously. pompeo'subts qualifications and his ability to do the job. not only is the white house but all of america should be calling on the senate to do what they are required and expected. that is to help government function and to help the safety and security of our country. this is an incredibly important position and that plays a big role. the nation supports mike pompeo to get that done, and today. it is very hard for members of congress to justify voting in favor of someone voting in favor of john kerry and not follow suit in voting in favor of mike pompeo. president who the considers republicans voting against mike pompeo's nomination to be obstructionist? what does it say to the rest of the world if mike pompeo cannot get a favorable recommendation? sarah: i don't think those numbers are being helpful. what it says to the world is that the senate has some real problems and they need to figure out how to show up and do their job a little better. has the administration wheth

john kerry, hillary clinton, and condoleezza rice all got unanimous or near-unanimous backing from theeign relations committee, a signal to the rest of the world of bipartisan confidence in the nation's top diplomat. >> mr. pompeo didn't retract the statements he said about muslim leaders. >> reporter: some democrats argue the former congressman and west point grad is too hawkish. others wanted to make a point about the commander-in-chief, who erroneously tweeted just this weekend that the north rereans have agreed to denuclearization. >> will you enable president trump's worst instincts? or will you be lurching from crisis to crisis as we've seen under this administration? >> reporter: full senate confirmation should come this week, which would enable pompeo to attend nato meetings in brussels on friday. >> i'll start with those things that i think are the biggest gaps and present the biggest risk. th reporter: but there is another battle brewing over the president's pick to replace pompeo at the c.i.a. deputy director gina haspel once ran a c.i.a.

president had used the same information, congress had used the same information, secretary rumsfeld, condoleezza ricel of us were using the same information, but i'm the one who made the biggest presentation of it, so it all sort of fell on me. that's show business, huh? david: but today in hindsight would you say the invasion was a mistake? mr. powell: i'd say the execution of the invasion was not done properly. we abandoned the army without any discussion back in washington and then we abandoned something worse, the baath party and said, anybody that worked for the baath party could not work in the new government. those were two monstrously bad strategic decisions and we did not have enough force in there to do what we wanted the iraqi army to do and the place fell apart. now, right now iraq has a democracy. it's tricky but it is a democracy. they have elections. and they are trying to restore order in their country. if they do all of that, i think it's bad that we went about it in such a terrible way. in my humble judgment. others may not agree with me fsm they come out of this difficult process r

john kerry, hillary clinton, and condoleezza rice all got unanimous or near unanimous backing from the foreign relations committee. a signal to the rest of the world, of bipartisan confidence in the nation's top diplomat. >> mr. pompeo didn't retract the statements about muslim leaders. some democrats argue the former congressman and west point grad is too hawkish. others want to make a point about the commander-in-chief who erroneously tweeted this weekend that the north koreans have agreed to denuclearization. >> will you enable president trump's worst instincts? or will you be lurking from crisis stew crisis as we have seen. >> full senate confirmation should come this week. which should enable pompeo to attend nato meetings in brusselss friday. >> i'll start with the things i think are the biggest gaps and present the biggest risk. >> reporter: there as it nother battle brewing over the president's pick to replace pompeo at cia, deputy director, gina haspel ran a cia black site where detainees were water boarded red flag for democrats and some republicans. >>> prince william and wi

he goes after condoleezza rice, loretto lynch. >>jesse: let me get to another part of the memo that i found interesting. he said, that if there were some satellite, i took this to mean some associates of his that did something meaning collusion, it would be good to find out. but that he hadn't done anything. and that he hoped we could get out that he wasn't being investigated. so he wasn't obstructing, he was an look to see if there is any colluding. >> it is the exact opposite. saying, i would like to know too. i don't think so but go ahead and find out. they've been going ahead and finding out for over a year. >>jesse: almost two years. >> let's review that this is a man that thought somebody else would win the election. wanted her to win the election. saying i could not cast a vote. i am the head of the fbi. he didn't vote because he didn't think hillary clinton needed his help.>>jesse: he had his finger in the wind. i think it was byron york that made a great point. the first meeting you have with the president-elect and hand

he had condoleezza rice in his ear all the time and they are close to this day. and she is someone who believed in, she called it targets of opportunity, it is called affirmative action if you want to know. so the day after barack obama was made president of the united states, was elected president of the united states without the electoral college. you have to quantify and qualify nowadays because we saw that with al gore. we didn't know who would be our president. what is this? i have never seen this. and it happened again. within a cycle of 20 some years. this is how volatile -- how tender things are. we have to really work at nailing these things down. going back to the day after the election. when there's a new occupant in 1600 pennsylvania ave. george w. bush was following tradition, reporters came out into the rose garden, waited for him but i wanted to see his demeanor, the nuances of the story, i wanted to see what he thought about it. i walked over to the french doors, still in the rose garden, i walked over to the side to look into the oval office thro

commission on college basketball put together by the ncaa and led by former secretary of state condoleezza ricet released a 53-page on how to reform the sport last year there was a scandal involving coaches and agents and shoe companies all wrapped up in an investigation. i'll ask you, first of all, what we saw in that report. i mentioned 53 pages. it took about a half year for condoleezza write. what was in it that you thought was a positive thing? >> chris: the idea that if you're 18 years old and you don't want to go to college and you don't want to find a professional track, the sports world should make that happen. >> that's likely to happen here. you're allowed to have an agent to advise you. you're allowed to enter the draft and then if you're not drafted, stay in college. these are all things that are not allow now what's the bad thing? everything else. they stick with the core idea that the heart and sole of college sports is amateurism. therefore you can't get paid. therefore the highest goal is a college education. no that there's anything wrong with that. but they coach you. there's

that and work at however votes of played out in the past, colin powell was a unanimous vote, condoleezza riceirmed in 81 days, a little bit of posturing some people will say. the main deck is look at hillary clinton confirmed in 6 days, john kerry confirmed in one day. look at that and look at what went down yesterday. it is hard to debate it, isn't it? >> it is sad because the senate foreign relations committee is a place where bipartisanship happens and foreign policy is critically important. whenever we can we should have our party support american foreign-policy, a very good job doing that over the years and the votes you are talking about are evidence of that. it is unfortunate they have gone partisan on this one vote. jillian: with your vote on democrat tunes being able to vote even though he made it clear he was against mike pompeo. >> it was a small gesture but an important one. by doing what he did, he allowed the committee to report the nomination, it would have been bad for the united states if mike pompeo had been reported out unfavorably to the senate floor. we all know he was go

at that time condoleezza rice, john bolton's old boss thought this was a great breakthrough. nuclear tests later and full size nuclear arsenal. different korean leader. different moment here. different pressure from the president of the united states. all that factors in. but we really have a long way to go. >> but the credit aspect does matter on one level, i think. you tell me if i'm wrong. the president is saying i had everything to do with all of it. that's just what we have come to accept as untruthful hyperbole from him. moon's role, his motivation, designer for this, because it is a concern, as i understand it with u.s. negotiators to make sure they're not getting boxed out. this isn't about the economic ambitions and allegiances that may not fall in line with priorities. is there an angle to that? >> certainly is. >> not a fear factor on the part of the north koreans and the south koreans that the president might do something extreme and take military action. i'm not sure we would be why at this moment. but as you say moon had a much bigger role in this. he made the o

he was very critical of condoleezza rice who was trying also to make a deal with our allies and northorea. he has now onboard at the national security council. i think if that's the concern, there is at least somebody at the table with a voice saying be careful. >> kimberly: just to say the president didn't undermine these deals. he is the commander-in-chief and he asked to evaluate them and decide what's the best interest of the united states and what's not. he made a calculation that the iran deal was not and that the paris climate change accord deal was not as well. then he acted prudently to withdraw from those. >> jesse: we celebrate the life of former first lady barbara bush and pay our respects to the beloved american icon gone at the age of 92. back in a moment. >> one of the reasons i made the most important decision of my life to marry george bush is because he made me laugh. it's true. sometimes we laugh through our tears but that is shared laughter and it's been one of our strongest bonds. find the joy in life because as ferris buehler said on his day off, life moves prett

tracking campaigns to get speakers disinvited from campus, as diverse as madeleine albright, condoleezza rice, george will, even the dalai lama subject to these campaigns. i have been speaking for several minutes and decide from my opening example i haven't even mentioned university policies used to stifle speech which range from the anti-harassment policies used against john sampson to misleadingly labeled free-speech zones that despite their names are used to quarantine speech. according to the latest figures, one in 10 colleges and universities restrict students from expressing themselves on the open outdoor areas of campus, a tiny secluded area of campus. we have seen these policies used against students who want to talk about second amendment rights which we have seen them used against students who want to circulate flyers promoting animal rights, promoted a vegan diet. we have seen these policies used to prohibit students from disturbing copies of the u.s. constitution. let that sink in. last year at tell all community college a student was actually arrested while handing out constituti

treaty, the anti ballistic treaty and the president and advisors including my colleague here, condoleezza rice, the national security vadviser at te time, they were trying to soften him up before they did that action because they knew it would be negative. but you don't say things like that. it makes it look foolish and he paid a price for that. >> give us a sense of vladimir putin. when he's meeting with american presidents, what is his goal? you saw him hanging out with the bush family. now he keeps calling with donald trump. what is his goal in your view? >> well, his goals change from time to time. i participated in summits with vladimir putin as a prime minister and as a president with president obama but the key point, joy, is to have a goal, to have an objective. vladimir putin shows up to those meetings to try to achieve a concrete objective that he thinks is in russia's national security interest. what to me is so bizarre about president trump and the way he deals with vladimir putin is it doesn't seem like he focuses on any concrete goal or objective including pushing back on the lon

given the fact that it was such a unanimous vote for john kerry and condoleezza rice, for rex tillerson who got 64 votes, why is this such a statement that is being made against mike pompeo who has worked with you all for years and who has a very good reputation? >> in the debate on the foreign relations, why aren't there republican nominees for this position that would get 70 or 80 votes? i said to a number of colleagues that if bob corker were the nominee, he would get 80 votes. if it were nikki haley, if it were steve hadley -- >> martha: one about mike pompeo? >> the things he said and did as a congressman and as a candidate in terms of statements about americans of the lgbtq community, how he conducted portions of the gauzy -- i was impressed with his military background and how he has been a cia director. i would hope you would end up being a strong secretary of state and really serving the department of the country well. i did not have a settled heart about it, so i joined many of my colleagues in voting against hi him. >> martha: we will see. thank you very much, good to see you

but the libyan model involved gadhafi giving up his nukes to condoleezza rice down in tennessee, and ended up being toppled and killed. let's see a bit of the new national security adviser in his sunday show appearances. >> we have very much in mind the libyan model from 2003-2004. there are obviously differences. the libyan program was much smaller. the pull, complete, total disclosure of everything related to their nuclear weapons program with full international verification, and following libya, verification by american and other inspectors, could be very important here. >> which is what they're saying they want from north korea. is it credible that after cheating twice under clinton and bush 43, that north korea would give up everything and that we could verify everything that has been given up? >> is it conceivable? yes. but you would have to have a good imagination. the libya example and the ukraine example and the iraqi example all push north korea in the direction of not giving up their nuclear weapons. it's interesting, at the beginning of the show, you mentioned the nobel p

point to a lack of civilized behavior on the hill when you look back at the records of the way condoleezza ricejohn kerry were approved by vast majorities and yet mike pompeo who went to harvard, graduated at the top of his class from west point, he's having some problem. >> mike pompeo doesn't have 90, 94, 95 votes because he doesn't have the entire republican caucus, the person you didn't show is rand paul. rand paul at the moment is the biggest impediment to mike pompeo taking it out of committee, let alone on the floor. i think in terms of tradition, the senate has been differential to the president very much especially on their first cabinet. 15 months later and president trump god through the first cabinet without a problem except for the labor secretary who pulled out himself, but 15 months later, you have rex tillerson who was fired, david chilcote who was fired, you have tom price who was fired. >> martha: that's apples and oranges. you're talking about people who didn't work out once they were in their job. i want steve to weigh in on the basic question which is is this something that

by the way, there are parts of book that haven't been covered where he goes after condoleezza rice, lorettawhat's his problem with powerful women doing their jobs? i wonder. this guy went from being a public servant to a public relations spin artist. he went from being an investigator to an instigator. >> you got to love the projections. it's so good. i mean the problems with powerful women. i mean, he's an instigator and loves being the center of attention. there is sort of projection strategy on the part of this white house. it's amazing. >> can i just make one point, look, i think there's plenty that jim comey could have left out of the book. i know in that npr book i was trying to be writely, i put in the size of donald trump's hands and color of his hair. but is what he is saying about those conversations accurate or inaccurate? he has contemporaneous notes about them. those things are what's important at the end of the day, not what he thinks of donald trump's hair. can't get too distracted from that stuff. >> when he says that kind of stuff, which is unnecessary and beneath the digni

at history, specifically of secretary of state confirmations, john kerry was confirmed 94-3, condoleezza rice. colin powell was confirmed unanimously. if you look at some of the question that's been brought up by the senate, no one doubts pompeo's qualifications and his ability to do the job. i think not only is the white house but all of america should be calling on the senate to do their job, do what they are required and expected to do and that is to help government function and help the safety and security of our country. this is an incredibly important position, they should certainly support mike pompeo and get that done today. i think frankly it for particular members of congress, it's very hard to justify voting in favor of someone like john kerry and not following suit and voting in favor of mike pompeo. >> reporter: does the president consider republicans who opposed pompeo's nomination to be obstructionist? what does it say to the rest of the world of pompeo can't get a favorable recommendation out of the senate? >> secretary sanders: i think what it says to the world is what we've

comey supplies his impressions of other major figures including president obama, loretta lynch, condoleezza rice and jeff sessions. he also adds a very important caveat to what he says about mr. trump. comey writes, quote, i have one perspective on the behavior i saw. which while disturbing and violating basic norms of ethical leadership, may fall short of being illegal. that's really important to remember. i want to bring in phil rutger, "washington post" bureau chief who read the entire book in one day. you were busy yesterday. i want to start with what president trump tweeted this morning. because certainly it's already gotten to him. james comey is a proven leaker and liar. virtually everyone in washington thought he should be fired for the terrible job he did until he was, in fact, fired. he leaked classified information, for which he should be prosecuted. he lied to congress under oath. he is a weak and untruthful slime ball who was, as time has proven, a terrible director of the fbi. his handling of the crooked hillary clinton case and the events surrounding it will go down as one of the

condoleezza rice was confirmed 85-13. colin powell was confirmed unanimously by voice vote. i think if you even look at some of the questioning that's been brought up by the senate, no one doubts pompeo's qualifications and his ability to do the job. so i think that not only is the white house, but all of america should be calling on the senate to actually do their job, do what they are required and expected to do, and that is to help government function and to help on the safety and the security of our country. this is an incredibly important position and that plays a big role in that. and they should certainly support mike pompeo and get that done and get that done today. and i think, frankly, for particular members of congress, that it's very hard for them to justify voting in favor of someone like john kerry and not following suit and voting in favor of mike pompeo. >> just on pompeo, does the president consider republicans who oppose pompeo's nomination to be obstructionist? and separately, what does it say to the rest of the world if pompeo can't get a favorable recomm

with condoleezza rice and she asked me and i said to that we are on the opposite sides of the political spectrum but she was the secretary of blackas a black woman and women were thought of as loud thousand and not feminine. what happened during the 48 idea and theyhis came to me because there was an idea to celebrate the intelligence of black women and the good health keeping -- housekeeping and this gave an opportunity to talk about what is going on and what we are now of blackn terms panther, which i hope everybody has seen. speaks volumesis betweenges the dynamic black women in black men and you women and black man who had no experience and tried to do something and put a wayness plan together and were undercapitalized. it is amazing what you can do with less. >> we found a way out of no way to do more with less. you know, martina, you have a number of different hats and part of your work is in public part of this is being frank and not pandering. in many cities, there is a color moreand you would expect from the public, but this is vastly underrepresented. tell us what you do to de

condoleezza rice was confirmed as secretary of state by a vote of 85-13. and colin powell was unanimously confirmed as secretary of state. so we've had a history here of the last secretaries of state to be overwhelmingly confirmed. i realize we're in an atmosphere where that will not be the case. i realize my democratic friends feel like in supporting pompeo they are basically -- it's proxy for support of the trump administration policies, which many of them abhor. i understand that. i just want to say there will be a few democrats that i believe will support him, and i want to say to people in this room, our president has a very entrepreneurial tendencies. he talks to people on the phone at night late. he comes in this the morning sometimes with differing points of view than he did the day before. we had evidence of that with syria. one day we were going to leave syria and then general mattis came in. i would argue to people here that michael pompeo has served the nation so well. he graduated first in his class in the united states military academy at wes

ed: in 2005, i was having a private dinner with condoleezza rice, and she asked me, how did you get involved with finding a bank is a for black women? i said to her, before i tell you that, you and i on opposite end of the global spectrum. your secretary of state, a black woman. -- you are secretary of state, a black woman. here you are, the secretary of state kerry and what happened during those years, for me, i am celebrating the idea of a business. four black men had an idea to celebrate the beauty and intelligence of black women because other women's magazines like glamour, were not meeting the aspirations of black women. it gave us an opportunity to tell the story about what is happening with black women. what we see now in terms of black panther. has everyone seen black panther? there were incredible black women. and i just think it speaks to different audiences. it changes how black women were thought of, and black -- and back then, 1968, we had four black men and publishing with no experience, and we try to raise money. we put a business plan together. if i had the money, i may not h

. >> in 2005, i was having a private dinner with the then secretary of state, condoleezza rice. she asked me, how did you get involved with starting a black -- magazine for black women? one "essence" came into being in 1970, black women were thought about as loudmouth, poor come on welfare. happened, i'm -- it was a seed in 1968. fourme into being because black men had an idea, to celebrate the beauty and intelligence of black women. werether women's magazines not dealing with the aspirations and beauty of black women. it gave us a niche of opportunity to try to tell this story. what we see now in terms of "black panther," for example. i hope everyone has seen black panther. more importantly, incredible black women. i think that this speaks volumes and changes the dynamic between how black women are thought of. blackhen, you had four men, no experience with publishing, who try to do something in terms of raising money. we put a business plan together. we put a business plan together, we were undercapitalized. it is amazing what you can do with less. >> we found a way out of no w

condoleezza rice : paul was confirmed unanimously. as the tradition the country has set for this job. my colleague said who in america does not think of president, democrat or republican deserves his or her pics for the agency. that's the answer to his own question. apparently it's no longer the answer. senator kerry later said in 2009 it's essential we provide the tools and resources we need to change. it starts by making sure we have the national security team in place is soonest possible. there were not confirmed because republicans agreed with everyone other policy positions. because everyone agreed with everyone of their votes. they were qualified to do the job in the president who nominated them deserve to have place. the same standard should be delivered to pompeo. he is qualified for the job and graduated first in his class at west point 1986. he served as -- before the berlin wall. after he edited the log review and he's a man of great accomplishment before hand or politics. he also into successful businesses before he was el

he had condoleezza rice in his ear all the time and they are close to this day. and she is someone who believed in, she called it targets of opportunity, it is called affirmative action if you want to know. so the day after barack obama was made president of the united states, was elected president of the united states without the electoral college. you have to quantify and qualify nowadays because we saw that with al gore. we didn't know who would be our president. what is this? i have never seen this. and it happened again. within a cycle of 20 some years. this is how volatile -- how tender things are. we have to really work at nailing these things down. going back to the day after the election. when there's a new occupant in 1600 pennsylvania ave. george w. bush was following tradition, reporters came out into the rose garden, waited for him but i wanted to see his demeanor, the nuances of the story, i wanted to see what he thought about it. i walked over to the french doors, still in the rose garden, i walked over to the side to look into the oval office thro

condoleezza rice received 85 votes when she was confirmed. and colin powell was confirmed unanimously. that's the tradition that the country has always set for this job. my colleague from new york, senator schumer, said in 2013, who in america -- this is an exact quote -- who in america doesn't think a president, democrat or republican, deserves his or her picks for who should run these agencies? nobody is the rest of that quote. that's the answer to his own question. partially that's -- apparently that's no longer the answer to that question, on the part of senator schumer and others. senator kerry, later secretary of state kerry, said in 2009, it's essential that we provide the president with the tools and resources he needs to effect change. that starts by making sure he has the national security team he's chosen in place as soon as possible. secretary kerry, secretary clinton were not confirmed because republicans agreed with every single one of their policy positions. they weren't confirmed because their colleagues in the senate agreed w

>> good to see you condoleezza rice led this committee for college basketball started after the fbi investigationwiretaps, coaches that got indicted for all kinds of financial adviser scandals they were asking everyone else to fix what they were doing. she asked the nba to get rid of their one and done rule. she wanted to keep all the shoe companies out of youth basketball she felt like all that money was coming into the support and corrupting everybody. everyone else is making ncaa basketball bad she recommended they have stricter punishments this is going to start a big conversation about how pro leagues, school leagues, shoe companies, players, agents, parents, all -- how do they get along. >> if coaches get busted for what, recruiting violations? >> paying money to get recruits. paying investment advisers to move recruits around >> the one and done rule, that's super interesting. how many teams do we watch during the playoffs? don't fall in love with that player here there's for one year and he's done. let's prevent them from drafting, give them a year to scout and give them a sense of who's

condoleezza rice in terms of connell: in terms of what?things change in terms of market valuation. i don't know if it'll change how they do business. >> at one point they were going to launch a qvc-kind of channel, high-profile thing to do, maybe they pulled because they want to be low key. neil: so you're saying the next step is cable news? >> i don't think cable news but to sell stuff. charles: it's not even just president trump, you have bernie sanders, you have both sides of the aisle and, again -- neil: he supports -- charles: we have talked about the amazon effect for a long time. again, every time they enter in another industry, they put themselves up for antitrust legislation at some point. connell: 30,000-foot view, i think that in the early days to have administration, whatever you we wanted to say even for people who didn't like the president at all personally, they always came back to the fact that he was probusiness, probusiness environment, he will cut taxes which he eventually did, cut regulations a number of times, this sto

speaks a diverse as mad lynn albright, condoleezza rice, george will, by marh and even the dalai lama subject to these campaigns. and i've been speaking now for several minutes, and aside from my opening example, i haven't even mentioned university policies that have been used to stifle speech which range from tee kind of overbroad anti-harassment policies used again keith john sampson to mislabel free speech sovereigns which are used to quarantine speech. one in ten colleges and universities restrict students from expressing themselves on the open outdoor years of campus, a tiny and often secluded area of campus. we have seen policies used against students who wanted to talk to their classmates about second amendment rights. we have seen them used against students who wanted to circulate fliers propoeting animal rights. that promoted a vegan diet. we have repeatedly seen these policies used to prohibit students from distributing copies of the u.s. constitution. so let that sing in -- sphinx -- sink in. at kellogg college a student was arrester for handing out constitutions. i don't l

condoleezza rice, the former secretary of state, was one of the first female members to be invited by the club back in 2012. the tournament will be open to top amateurs from around the world. next year's champion will get bragging rights as the first to win at augusta. no, she will not get a green jacket if that's what you were going to ask. >> i was going to ask if you were going to get your clubs out and get ready. >> have you seen me play? >> not yet. >> it's a freak show. it's not good. >> someone is going to play and win something there at the masters. >> i'll go watch. >>> and speaking of the masters, the golden bear, jack nicklaus, golden bear has good reason to celebrate this morning. take a look at this. his grandson, 15-year-old gary hit a hole in one at aus duringar 3 tournament. >> that's great. >> get in the cup. there we go. dilly dilly. they would have kicked me out for that. the six-time masters winner tweeted, i don't know if i had a more special day of golf, more special day on a golf course to have your grandson make his first hole in one on this stage, wow, #family
