connolly: mr. rosen. mr. rosen: i cannot tell you about private conversations with the president one way or the other. rep. connolly: we had an insurrection that led to seven deaths, two suicides, and you are saying this is a privileged communication? mr. rosen: i'm saying my responsibility is to tell you about the role of the department of justice. rep. connolly: your responsibility is to be accountable to the american people in this congress. i couldn't imagine a more critical question. did you have conversations with the president of the united states urging you to question or overturn or challenge the election results of 2020? it is a simple question and by the way, no executive privilege has been invoked prior to this hearing and your testimony and you have known you were coming here for over a month. mr. rosen: congressman, respectfully, i understand your interest in the issue and i have tried to be as forthcoming as i can with regard to the facts of the department of justice. you asked me about communi

dw correspondent nick connolly has spent the last three days on board a u.s.avy destroyer taking part in sea breeze. he joins us from odessa on the black sea in ukraine. what have you witnessed aboard the uss ross? reporter: those were three days in which basically the russians were never more than a few miles away, either with ships or planes. at times it felt there were as many russians in the water in the part of the plexi where we were in as -- part of the lack see where we were in as others. our american host were vy keen to talk about t operational side of things, how they practiced whatever skill with their ukrainian counterparts, but they were nervous about talking about the russians, the same russians only a few miles from the boat i was on. seemingly very careful not to be accused of warmongering, trying to tone things down and seem to be focusing on the task at hand. it was a bizarre situation to find out why these exercises are needed, who are aimed at and the potential opponent. we were told time and again these are just exercises in international

connolly: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank my good friend and neighbor, the congresswoman from the district of columbia, ms. norton. i also thank the republican manager for his kind remarks about a grieving family in my district. last year he -- year i brought a similar version of this bill to the floor, requiring federal agencies to communicate safety plans to their employees before returning to their offices. it's not an extra layer of paperwork, it's a plan. you just have to have a plan. so that we don't have more chai suthammanonts diing from covid. -- dying from covid. seems to me that's something we ought to come together on a bipartisan basis -- on on a bipartisan basis. while our country opens for business, covid-19 cases and hospitalizations that had been declining just a month ago are again on the rise and the dangerous delta variant that accounts for 83% of those cases in the united states. meanwhile, only 56.3% of the total u.s. population has had at least one dose of the vaccine and in 16 states few than 5

what if oneullet went into nnedys back and came out of his neck and went into connolly's back piercing lung, on the wrist to h is left thigh. whatever you want, wheatever t you need, this bullet provides, it is a magic bullet. olivia: if jfk's policies had prevailed, what america do you think you'd have today? >> a whole different world. his brother was also a progressive. he will follow him. hopefully 16 years of kennedys. who knows? teddy kennedy was another factor. they knew this. roosevelt had a significant effect on the american psyche as well as the economy and made a huge difference in world war ii but kennedy would have had a similar hold on the american public. i think we would be less conservative, less violent. war breeds more violence and callousness in society. kennedy, as he says in the film, he was a man of peace. he had been at war, a decorated combat veteran. he said himself, you cannot believe the generals. he was that kind of man who called the shots as they saw them. he saw it coming. he says we do not need a world of pax americanna, supported by weapons of war, whi

that's just to get to work in this balance connolly at our broadcast center for nbc.iss you here. it is a little humid. you grew up in miami so you're used to it. but wow! >> be grateful you have short hair. that's all i'm saying. jeff is over here, i told him. i told him. thank you. >> jeff warned me. >> see you later. >>> athletes in tokyo are getting acclimate to the new surroundings dealing with a long list of covid protocols. kate courtney shows off some of the swag she received. swag is the best part. she said it has pockets and she's excited about it. she also showed off the other items that she was given. meanwhile, the tennis star lily zhang showed off her new bed. in case haven't heard, the bed frames are made of cardboard. the beds will be recycled into paper products after the olympics. so which country will dominate the metal count in tokyo? scientists are looking at date from previous olympics to find clues. you can read all about that. which countries dominated the olympics at the top of our page on the trending bar. it is so interesting to see that. we

after which, we discovered that in fact the congolese can afford to pay connolly's doctors and nurses, and many are -- congolese doctors and nurses, and many are already paying that. there is the chinese machine that will print out medical history. they are paying all sorts of other sources but most people can actually afford three or four dollars a month for health care, it can be provided for that amount and can be sustainable forever. the problem with philanthropy is that you are depending on when they do and when they don't, it can go away overnight and that is not sustainable. there's a lack of dignity. as the recipients, you are looking to get what we give, and you are not in a position to help people understand how to help build your society. but we provide a partnering facility where we recognize, a brilliant smart guy who is help me a lot, he taught me that the dignity of being a customer is one of the things we recognize at this country, you pay for goods, you are entitled to speak to the manager if you are not being treated properly. just that sense of deserving to be treat

and for more i'm now joined by dw correspondent nick a connolly. he joined us from odessa, a port city on the black sea in ukraine and nick us. so good to you. you have just spent the last 3 days on the navy destroyer. the u. s. s. ross, i tell us about your experience. is there wallclear, we were shattered the whole time by russian aircraft russian ships were within a few miles nautical miles of us destroy. i was on the bizarre thing was that the commanders and the officers on board that american destroyer basically weren't allowed, was seemingly, were told, not even mentioned russia by name. so we had lots of talk about interoperability between the u. s. navy, with the ukranian navies and other countries, but spacing in this side. but there was no talk about basically the elephant in the room. the ships we were seeing, the plains that were buzzing the ship. i was on. that was pretty strange, given that we've come out of months of tensions between the western russia over ukraine, we saw russia messing troops on ukraine borders. so a bit of a stran

angel founder ron connolly.ompanies you may have heard of, google, facebook ron, good morning, and thanks for being with us. jon mentioned, ad base model created trillion dollar companies. what sustains them can a creator-based model ever be a significant driver? >> yes i absolutely believe that the creator-based model is a new and growing segment that allows companies to thrive on the internet. but these companies, keep in mind, most of them get their -- they grow because they become influencers on social networks, and then from that, they build their bases. tiktok would be a great example. substack is a great example of the new creator economy. but they still rely on social media to go gather up the consumers of that content. airbnb and pinterest are great examples of companies who originally built their base off of google, facebook, amazon. but now their brands are so powerful, that they can do that independently. but, remember, when a company is getting started, they rely on google, facebook and amazon to bu

joining us is congressman gerry connolly of virginia.rman of the serve america movement. congressman, i want to play something i played this week because in light of these -- sort of the freeing up of some of these notes between top doj officials and the ex-president, it feels like the answer to this question you asked may become known. let me play that again. >> i can't imagine a more critical question. did you have conversations prior to january 6th with the president of the united states urging you to question or overturn or challenge the election results of 2020? that's a simple question. by the way, no executive -- no executive privilege has been invoked prior to this hearing and your testimony, and you have known you were coming here for over a month. >> congressman, respectfully, i understand your interest in the issue and i have tried to be as forthcoming as i can with regard to the facts of the department of justice. when you ask me about communications with the president, i as a lawyer don't get to make the decision on whether

can you talk about his wife as well, gail connolly manchin?n in as the cochair of the capital region mission. that commission is supposed to promote economic development. how is the closing of a plant, shifting it overseas, helping the economic development of west virginia? katherine: theronies are really thick here. it seems to be that this mylan pla in morgantown has been used as a kind of family enterprise, prior to this. gail manchin plays a cameo role in the epipen scandal, because she was on a school commission that was trying to get the u.s. government to mandate that schools purchase the epipen when it was at that inflated price. the approach to this pharmaceutical manufacturing has been to sort of milk this plant and its products for profit, which has benefited the manchin family and shareholders, but not benefited american patients to this point. juan: and joe guz, could you talk about your efforts to try and reach senator manchin about this issue and what kind of response you have gotten from him or his staff about the fact that all

he was offering a light-hearted toast to john connolly. and his 51st birthday. johnson said on that at that moment today. you were 51 john. that is the magic number that every man of politics prays for. simple majority now this probably isn't the greatest joke ever told by a sitting us president, but for lyndon johnson, it wasn't bad. in any case the point here is that he is not lamenting the loss of cronkite. that he's not even in front of the television set to watch the cronkite program. he's an ice in texas at a black tie birthday party for a long time political ally. it's also important to keep in mind that in the aftermath in the days and weeks that followed. cronkite's report johnson remained publicly and adamantly hawkish about the war in vietnam. he continued to call for a national effort to win the war vietnam. which is hardly reaction that you would expect if he had been much moved by cronkite's program. in the days and weeks after the program when the influence of the cronkite moment should have been most strong. lyndon johnson is calling for a renewe

here's what virginia congressman gerry connolly had to say about it on this network, just yesterday.i frankly think this is a criminal conspiracy. i believe that the contemporaneous notes that were released today by deputy attorney general at the time, donohue, clearly reveal out of donald trump's own mouth, and the illegal attempt to subvert the election results of a free and fair election. >> joini congressman, ruben gallegos. he is a marine corps veteran and a member of the armed services committee. congressman gallego, i want you to take a listen to some of what we've heard so far from the election commissions. and i'll ask you about it on the other side. >> while we were subjected, it was like something from a medieval bible. >> i was dragged from the line of officers into the crowd. i heard someone scream, "i got one." >> i was effectively defenseless and increasingly sustaining injury from the increasing pressure of the crowd. >> and the crowd, around 20 people, joined in screaming, boo, [ bleep ]. no one had ever, ever called me a [ bleep ] while wearing the uniform of a capi

oversight and national security, but there's a different take from democratic congressman gerry connollyon't see it as a great victory. i see it as a signal failure of the system. it took two years to adjudicate this and to get the department of justice to finally agree that, yeah, you are entitled to see those tax returns. the american people were entitled to know while he was in office, and it might have materially affected, by the way, the two impeachments. >> so quickly, victoria, is this a better late than never scenario? how important do you think it is that congress could see those returns now? >> i do. i do think it is better late than never, and going back to what i said earlier i think that structurally congress needs to be able to flex that muscle. that being said, we know the playbook that donald trump is going to use. it is a witch hunt, is what was very successful in him defending himself in his first impeachment, in his second impeachment. but quickly to one of the points bill made, i think that the question here isn't so much what is trump's staying power but what is the

getting a whole lot closer to learning the answer to the question posed by house democrat gerry connolly back in may thanks to new reporting by "the washington post" as well as a move by the doj that clears the way for congress to get to the bottom of the ex-president's intense campaign to pressure the justice department into supporting his attempts and aiding with them to overturn the 2020 election. "the washington post" is reporting today that at the end of last year, at the peak of the pressure campaign on elected officials all across the country over earthive indication, trump called acting attorney general rosen nearly every day in which trump, quote, raised allegations he had heard about and asked what the justice department was doing about the issue. the "post" reporting on the doj's decision to remove a crucial road block facing investigators looking into the final days of the trump presidency. they wrote, the justice department recently notified rosen, donoghue and others who were serving there during the end of trump's presidency that they would not seek to invoke executive pri

jim connolly was at one club in leeds as they welcomed people back to celebrate at the stroke of midnighte! cheering. # now�*s the time cos you're free to do what you want to do! the place has only been open a couple of minutes, and it's been a long time coming for people. and look, it seems to have made it a whole lot sweeter. it's so good. being able to dance with your family and friends, it's so good. i've had my vaccination. and we're obviously young people, so i feel like we've sort of missed out on a year of our lives. a real sense of relief. it's been nearly 500 days since the clubs shut and aside from illegal raves, dance floors have been eerily empty, big—name djs like hot since 82 no longer touring the world, holed up instead in their recording studios. a club is a small, dark, sweaty space, isn't it? and that's the highlight of being a dj, being in that small, underground club that plays until 6 or 7am, great system. i can't actually envision that at the minute. festivals, outside, yeah, i'm totally for it. but i want to get back to playing in clubs because that's where my hear

let's get more on this with aodhan connolly, who's the director at the northern ireland retail consortiumly. what we _ moment? well, things are ok actually. what we have - moment? well, things are ok - actually. what we have to remember is that there has been a lot of hard work by both retailers and by our colleagues in the justice to keep trade flowing, to get used to the new checks that have come in, to get used to the new customs arrangements that have come in. however, what we are talking about in october time with those new export health certificates, with the end of the grace period on chilled goods, and with other checks that would come in on things like citrus, on things like tomatoes, that would cause delays, that would cause friction is, that would cause a lot of cost, and northern ireland consumers would have they simply cannot afford those cost rises. ., ,., ,., have they simply cannot afford those cost rises. ., ,., ., cost rises. you said so far businesses _ businesses have been working very hard. is it sustainable, though? i think we have had to invest a lot, and i'm notjus
