and dan rather host of axs tv's the big interview. shelby, i'll start with you. stone says this e-mail is a joke. what's the context for the e-mail. >> the context of the e-mail is really important. it was in response to a poll that he had president trump losing the general election. seems to be saying, aha, wait till julian assange comes into the game. he says this was a joke he dined with assange. he gave us a screen shot that the had his first name roger and it appears to be a booking on a flight from l.a. to miami. if he had dined with assange, he would have had to be in london. it's unclear if he was physically in london eating with assange. the next day, he starts praise agsang on twitter calling him a hero. then as you just laid out over the next few months, he predicts all of these things assanging will do including a few days before he releases podesta's e-mails saying the payload is coming. why this is significant is the fact we know mueller is looking at this. that means he's not just looking at obstruction of justice but focusing on his mandate of inv

including dan rather who said this. "news anchors looking at the camera and reading a script handed down via corporate overlord. it's not journalism. it's propaganda." i read the script. i didn't watch the whole video. there is no mention of conservatives or trump. they say that the truth is not left or right. are people inferring too much? >> they pledged to do honest journalism. that scares the heck out of people like dan rather. and cnn. it's funny because if you read the statement and listen to the entire thing, we are going to be straight, honest journalist. god forbid that exist. >> shannon: they do include a statement that says if you don't think we are being fair, here's how you call and report it. >> god bless them by their reality as it doesn't matter with the rhetoric is that they promote. they are trying to get their acquisition of these other conservative stations approved by the sec and doj. the code words in this document include "fake news." put that aside, the reality is i don't think people are as upse

or them was a lawyer dan rather was or was on my left but i'm not well armed john knew all along or wanted to go out of my own or long a bender the mom was in the moment under the money. and they were all more determined than the money. so the only day care i needed to move was another have arrows on that island and the bigger me above was another. maybe i'm on our man joe nor mally different about i think not going on that are unarmed either no never never never never must also just move in and. the scriptural saga is far from over but often eighteen e.u. countries send russian diplomats home it's already taken its toll on russia's relations with europe can this rush to judgment pave the way for a more measured policy in the future. when there are there was so much at all of them. i don't mind the little bit of that if. you overdo a little frisky you took a look at it well what if there could be chilcote you know down the. road but you sort of. what i mean and you come with that he's going to let us with. the question as to yes but no yes the chess but. what i hear everyone that is for yo

story that is so ludicrous, it reminds me of a time in the past when another network stood behind dan rather and when "the new york times" said that bogus story was fake, but accurate. what's happened, i think, is there are people who are in the news business, but they're not really in the news business, there in the political advocacy business and joy reid is an amazing political advocate. she has a lot of fans, she is very powerful. i want to read a tweet, i don't want to get the words wrong. this is from a clinton staffer who tweeted out today and unblocked me, make sure you are evaluating this situation through an intersectional lens. she's one of the most important black female voices on tv. thanks. she's lying. obviously, nobody wins in a way back machine to 2006 and said one day, i know this person will be on cable tv. it's nonsense. is it really so bad? >> tucker: they went to the boss and said let's make a patently ludicrous why that's untrue. the boss would say how about not? why not just say you did it, admit it and most fair-minded people will forgive you and move on. why would n

it reminds me of a time in the past when the other networks stood by dan rather and when "the new yorkes" said that that bogus story was a fake but accurate. what's happened i think is there are people who are in the "newss business" who realized they are not really in the news businesss they are in the political business, and joy reid is an amazing political advocate. she is a lot of fans, she's very powerful. i want to read a tweet. i don't want to get the words wrong. this is from a clinton staffer who tweeted out today and then blocked me. "make sureoc you are evaluating the joy reid story through an intersectional lens. she is one of the most important black female voices on tv. thanks." >> tucker: [laughs] >> she's just lying! obviously no one went in the way back machine to 2006 to go, "one day, i know this person will be on cable tv, i'll get them now." it is nonsense! intersection malady, really? is it so bad? >> tucker: i wonder why -- most people if they work in the news organization, got caught doing something, they went to the boss and said come on let's make up a patently

dan. >> rather than forward let's look back with. he spoke at the beginning of missed opportunities and especially with isi. i wonder, what other tools that you think united states had that could have leveraged isi to do something and when it did? i reflect back on the failure of our holdings f-16s as you recall and how they gathered in arizona. i mean that was not a very festive. i wonder, what is the leverage that you would identify? >> i mean -- they are different at different times of the story. i does not kind of a bowl game but you cannot help but think about the question, where were the most significant missed opportunities? in my mind, they were in 2004 and -- 2002 through 2004 after the islamic emirate fell. after the taliban leadership melted. many afghans came home to rebuild, the international community was united. and what happened? we turned immediately to iraq. there is a scene in the book with generals who are sent to afghanistan in the summer of 2002 to stand up a task force, they are determined not to permit large-s

we want to have dan rather talk from washington about what else the president might be thinking about this new development in his party. dan? dan: bobby kennedy must get gene mccarthy out of the race or beat him somewhere, and we don't have to do either. that seems to be the prevailing attitude in the johnson camp. the president and his advisers do fear a kennedy on slault onslaught. they dread what they think an all out kennedy bid would do to the democratic party. some johnson strategists have been warning the president that mccarthy may beat him in wisconsin, and some others have been warning the president that he stands to lose in the june california primary. the president, however, appears adamant about staying above any primary battles. those closest to him don't believe he will change that plan unless mccarthy steps aside. in favor of senator kennedy. mr. johnson knows he's in trouble. he joked in public about the new hampshire primary, but he's crying on the inside. he knows that the time between now and the democrats nominating convention will be one long night of the knives

the hype tag showtime and tiny stand have been trending on twitter veteran american news anchor dan rather tweeted i've never seen a phenomenon like what otani is doing with his arm and bat for the angels shades of babe ruth she were early of course but you can't help but go there and it's not just americans that are following this story he's also big news back home popular japanese comic book writers suno morrow tweet otani my editor won't believe such a great story it should be more realistic two weeks ago people were a little more skeptical of well known u.s. sports radio show was pretty cutthroat about oh tommy's performance during spring training that video has now resurfaced on social media take a look at this. the question is is he going to embarrass him but is he going to be as bad as everyone says i am trying trying to as a guy who people with obama been the greatest player in baseball they have the best player in baseball on that team he might not be babe ruth less i think you know he doesn't even seem like he's a little bit about right but it's not that's exactly right i bet the

kasich: that is like dan rather asking ted kennedy, "why do you want to be president?" he froze and that was the end of it. i don't know what i am going to do. i have nine months left as governor and i received really good news today about progress we are making on reasonable reform of gun laws. i am very excited about it. we are all second amendment advocates but we also think there are things we need to do to bring about gun safety in our state. and i received good news today. and i will shine some shoes when i get home tonight. you know, what i am trying to do is be the best governor i can be. i mean this is going to sound like politics. by the way, shays and sununu said keep your answers short. i am trying to be the best governor and i am trying to be a voice that brings about stability and objectivity in our country in unifying. and i have decided, as i look at the landscape, that the far right and the far left, god bless them, but, they are not the ones that i am going to be able to change. maybe not right now. so i look for those folks who are people who can be o

he was emotionally very moved by the fact that dan rather and other cbs reporters were being manhandledy the police right there on the floor of the convention. host: fact of political figures you covered at that time, richard nixon went on to become president. 1968, nominated also a the second time after losing in 1960. guest: when i first photographed him, it was at mission bay after the republican convention, where they come out to san diego to formulate campaign strategy. i photographed him with spear i knew looking very chummy -- with spiro agnew looking very chummy. this is one of my favorite shots. ended up in the white house because gerald ford replaced him after he resigned in 1973. that is how i became the house -- the white house photographer. host: randy is joining us from clearwater, florida. caller: yes, hello. i wanted to respond to a couple of the black colors -- caller. know,ere saying, you white supremacy and all this other stuff. remember, starting when we only had three tv channels with three anchors, they would not tell you that the democratic were the ones who were

it was an amalgamation of blogs for the response to dan rather is lying about the bush national guard situation. he was managing editor or supervisor that called us amateurs for attacking this dishonesty so we decided to form a media company. but he didn't bother to look it up before he attacked us but that's normal because that's what most people do when they attack that is wha but that is d and then it evolved over the years but it's when i was hoping to form it as a media company on the right and left of dialogue between both sides but that fell apart. it became a center-right i consider myself i guess a libertarian. i don't like definitions much, but that's what happened and now it's a media company reporting and giving opinions on all things the national review does. >> host: what a lot of people considered it a so-called conservative news site? >> despite the honest intention of trying to do the impossible which in our culture today doesn't exist. >> you heard of the book that came out called turning right on hollywood and vine in tinselto tinseltown. were you not always a conse

guest: he was not interjecting his opinion, but he was emotionally very moved that dan rather and othereporters were being manhandled by the police on the floor of the convention. going back to other political figures you covered at that time, richard nixon was also nominated in 1968 for the second time after losing in 1960. guest: when i first photographed him, it was at the mission bay at the republican convention where they came out in san diego . i got a picture of him and spiro agnew looking really chummy. he did not know spiro agnew. this is one of my favorite shots because of the men on the right, agnew ended up in the white house because gerald ford replaced him. that is how i became the white house photographer. randy is joining us from florida. good morning. caller: yes, hello. i wanted to respond to a couple of the black callers because they were saying white supremacy and all this other stuff. if you remember, starting when we only had three tv channels anchors, they would not tellyou that the democratic ones who were the segregationists, the ku klux them.like 95% of compare

this suggests an extreme naivete on their part, but it also suggests, and dan does not entirely deny this, ratherng them toa he seems to have been mailing them to a wall. then there was an exchange caught between yorkshire police's barrister and dan johnson. he between yorkshire police's barrister and danjohnson. he was asked what led mr smith to take the view that your conduct suggested a rather heavy—handed approach? he replied and said he clearly heard the account of carrie goodwin. she was head of media at south yorkshire police. i was quite surprised commies said, and my initial reaction was, i was mystified, why is she saying that? i don't think i have acted at all like that. danjohnson have acted at all like that. dan johnson will continue giving evidence here in court after the lunch break and we are expecting later on this afternoon to hear further evidence from some abc news senior further evidence from some abc news senior managers. further evidence from some abc news senior managers. thank you. the world's first global cancer database has been launched by an australian billionaire. pa

that was dan in california, and hejoins me here. as does a drone, which is rather noisy.e. if we just show you how it is important it is when the engine is placed, at the moment they tend to be out and unprotected, which makes it noisy down below. as members of the public, whether we will put up with that remains to be seen. but there are things you can do to reduce that level of noise. that is one issue — another is that it seemed in your report, we are still reliant on traditional air—traffic control, the same as planes. zipline said they keep their own planes separate from each other with their own systems, but there is nothing to stop a zipline plane hitting an amazon plane, because they are on two separate systems. apart from those sensors that are onboard each aircraft, if they fail there are no overriding systems that will keep those two planes apart, and that is still a problem in the states. so a pretty substantial issue that needs to be overcome, thank you very much. and that is exactly what vodafone are trying to deal with here. at this testing facility, they a
