. >> reporter: that's right, fred. just a few moments ago we confirmed that the white house is bringing onboard a gentleman by the name of ty cobb, very powerful washington, d.c. attorney and he's being brought in to oversee the response to the russia investigation, specifically the response in the press. from what we understand he was a former federal prosecutor, he was also a partner at hogan and luvels. this hire is interesting when it comes to timing because this comes amid reports of senior white house officials that there is some tension between the white house and the president's current private attorney mark kas wits who has had a very rough week. just a few days ago some private e-mails between him and a critic were released in the press, expletive laden and had to apologize for those e-mails. but this is an indication from the white house that they need something more when it comes to the response at least to russia and the press. he is expected to stay on as the president's private attorney, fred. >> and as

let's be fair to fred goldman. have spent my life and career protecting those who have been victimized by crime, especially the families of homicide victims. he said if someone offered him a high-powered rifle not traceable and he could take o.j. out, fred gold man of said you are talking to the wrong guy. >> he says you are talking to the wrong guy, but i'm going to put that it there for an audience of millions to know people are offering me to kill simpson. judge jeanine: what has o.j. said about goldman? >> mr. simpson never says anything about the goldmans unless something is put out there. he doesn't have any response other than he is concerned these are threats being taken serious by by me. mr. goldman is closing in on 80. and he had himself worked up. he is a victim. who knows in his twilight. judge jeanine: don't even go there. i'm taking fred goldman's part there. what are o.j.'s plans? is he going to florida or california. >> florida was mentioned. california is. >> the option. and he's looking forward to

>> reporter: hey, there, fred. yeah, certainly the most heart felt statement coming about the resignation of reince priebus is from also someone from wisconsin, house speaker paul ryan. someone who's a very close friend of reince priebus. the two men go back very many years and ryan writes, "reince priebus has left it all out on the field for our party and country. here's a guy from kenosha, wisconsin, who revitalized the republican national committee and became white house chief of staff. he served the president and the american people capably and passiona passionately. he's achieved so much and done it all with class. i could not be more proud to call reince a dear friend." he congratulations secretary john kelly on his appointment saying that he looks forward to working with him to advance the agenda. here's an important point, fred. democrats are pouncing on this in part because there's now a vacancy at the department of homeland security with john kelly moving to the white house. one of them, representative be

>> like you said, fred, he is the consummate marine.plain spoken, mission oriented and above all he's a leader. but perhaps most importantly president trump likes and respects john kelly. and, well, it appears the feeling is mutual. it was another major announcement made over twitter. >> we're following breaking news. president trump just announcing a new white house chief of staff. >> reporter: the president tapping homeland security secretary general john kelly to replace reince priebus as his new chief of staff. >> john kelly will do a fantastic job. >> reporter: kelly, a retired marine corps general with nearly five decades of military service, has served many roles, the latest homeland security chief where he has earned high marks from the president for defending and enforcing the white house immigration policy. now, earlier in his career kelly served tours in iraq and afghanistan. his son, robert michael kelly, was killed in combat in afghanistan in 2010. president trump and general kelly visited his son's grave on memorial day ea

fred savage, who is our next guest, has done it. >> yes. 2006, you had a co-host. he was a very famous television star at the time. he's now president of the united states. >> yeah, yeah. >> seth: how -- i'm just curious, how was he as a co-host? >> you're welcome, everybody. [ laughter ] he was great as a co-host. you know what's crazy, he was talking about running for president then. >> seth: in -- yeah. >> then. and i remember actively having this conversation with him. wants me to run for president." and i said, "who?" [ laughter ] and he was like, "you know, everybody, because i know -- you know i'm good with dealing -- all of my business dealings, i'm a negotiator." and i said, "but why would you want to do that? why would you want to give up your life, which is so good. you're not going to be able to go to florida any more." >> seth: yeah. >> you're not going to be able to golf every weekend. and i was wrong. [ laughter ] >> seth: yeah. >> like you can do that. >> seth: yeah. you were -- >> yeah. >> seth: in principle, you were right

fred fisher is starting what is going to be a brief career with us. you would be so reckless and cruel to do an injury. i fear he shall always bear the scar needlessly inflicted by you. i like to think that i am a gentle man. but your forgiveness will have to come from someone other than me. mccarthy resumed his attacks on fisher and directed in a commanding voice. let us not assassinate this further. you have done enough. .. >> afterward, the president issued a statement commending watkins for, quote, a very splendid job of managing the censure process. that was more than joe mccarthy could take. on december 7th he walked into the first hearing of the subcommittee in months and openly apologized to the american people for supporting dwight eisenhower for president. but the struggle was over. in a june 1955 meeting with legislative leaders, eisenhower repeated a joke that was making the rounds in washington. quote: it's no longer mccarthyism, the president said, it's mccarthy-wasm. [laughter] eisenhower emerged publicly from his science on mccarthy ju

fred barnes and back with us, the dean, ed rollins. fred, first to you.t up by asking you your thoughts on john kelly the new chief of staff. if you were surprised by the late friday news. fred: i was surprised. but this is the best thing to happen at the white house in across long time. it's like hiring bill belichik to be your football coach. i like him. kelly is exactly what he needs. he has a huge job there. he was such an impressive cabinet member, the most of impressive one, and he diffused the whole immigration issue. the problem at the white house is the way donald trump conducts the presidency. it's not the policies. john kelly is going to have to advise the president to change them. i actually think the president is a little afraid of john kelly. he talks about his generals. and he's a little scared by them. i think kelly will be a tremendous force for good. lori: you think the president will be intimidated by general kelly and it will result in further organization at the white house and getting back on track with the agenda. as you know, healt

. >> hi, fred. >> so as a former communications director yourself, what has been your reaction to the shakeup within the communications team? >> fred, i think we all realized this day was going to happen and it was just a matter of time before there was some shakeup or transition within the white house and specifically the communications team. i think sean did a stellar job with regard to defending the president and getting the president's message out there. but the president clearly wants someone like scaramucci who will fully support the president as we heard many times yesterday. he loves the president. he's very energetic. he's clearly someone that looks the part. and the president trusts him to do the job ming forward of communicating the message that the white house wants to communicate. the one thing i question is whether or not he is going to serve more as a spokesperson role in addition to sarah who's done a phenomenal job, but we also need someone there as a communications director who works on the short and long term strategy, working with the policy team, working with the

fred? >> all right, boris sanchez, thanks so much. >>> let's get more on the latest fallout from that russian meeting. michael allen is managing director of beacon global strategies and david rode is an online news director for "the new yorker." good to see you both. michael, you first. when donald trump jr. released the e-mails about the russian meeting, he said he wanted to be transparent. we are learning there were eight people as opposed to the original four we were told. how does he escape looking like he is hiding something. >> this is truly amazing honestly. those of us in washington know a little bit about scandal politics. damage control 101 is to get out all the information quickly and completely so you will not have a new detail every day for six days which keeps this story alive. >> you know what is interesting? "the new york times" was going to dump the e-mails an then he preemptively, donald trump jr. anyone said i am going to get all these e-mails out and then left a lot of t

. >> reporter: hi, fred. this is very interesting, because we know that president trump did not have a press conference before leaving the g-20 and so there wasn't an opportunity for reporters to ask him about the discrepancy between the readouts from the russian side and the u.s. side after that two-hour-plus sitdown with russian president vladimir putin but he has taken to twitter to address some of these questions. you put these up on the screen. put them up again. he said this morning, i strongly pressed president putin twice about russian meddling in our election. evehemently denied it. i'm already given my opinion. and tweeted, putin and i discussed forming an impenetrable cyber security unit so that election hacking and many other negative things will be guarded. both of those are stunning statements for different reasons. the first, the president confirms he, what all sides agree with, that he did confront president putin about russian meddling and said i've already given my opinion. a lot of folks ha

fred, what are you seeing? >> reporter: yes. good. okay. >> fred, can you hear me?ike the things are kicking off here. you can see the water cannon trucks are in use back there. we think that some smoke bombs and fireworks were set off. we're going to try to get a little bit closer but we have to try to stay safe as well because there is a police line right around here. i'm going to take you to the front here. this is really the first time the violence has kicked off here and what's happened is that the protest march was lining up. the cops then stopped them, actually around where we are right now and told people to take face masks off because you're not allowed to wear masks here, and then at some point, it seems as though, you know, one thing led to another and then the first smoke bombs were thrown and now we have this where the water cannon trucks have been in use. the cops are moving around and creating a larger perimeter as well. we're going to try to get a little bit closer for you guys. >> fred, give us a sense of who is out there protesting. if you can stil

fred? >> suzanne malveaux at the white house. april ryan, cnn political analyst and white house correspondent for american urban radio networks, paul singer, washington correspondent for "usa today" and kate burns for real clear politics. good to see all of you. april, to you first. the president is tweeting about his discussions with italy, germany and france. he talked to saudi arabia also yesterday and said interesting things are happening. so, is this the president showing that he is getting back on track? >> fredricka, we have no clue. one minute he may be very traditionally presidential, talking about his phone calls. and, you know, we have readouts from some other calls he had over the weekend as well. but then, you know, he gets into this tirade or this tangent, going into tweeting about cnn fighting, a wrestling match. or talking about joe and mika and, you know, talking against mika brzezinski. we just don't know. one minute it's one way. the next it's the other. the american public really wants to see -- what we're hea

fred for republicans, mika for democrats. fred, start with you. as a former cia guy, what do you think when you hear that a former counterintelligence officer was also in the meeting. for a layperson like me, i know nothing. >> well, let me first say it's great to be here. i don't think that don junior should have taken this meeting. i think this was a rookie mistake. but i'm listening to these reports this morning about this alleged former soviet counterintelligence officer. i like to point out that this was an american citizen that there had been reports before of russian intelligence officers trying to meet with the trump campaign that turned out to be false. and we don't know who these officials are who say they are concerned this individual has ties to russian intelligence. we know there's a large array of former and current intelligence policy officials who do not like donald trump and they may have made this up. >> but, fred, even if this last person was rob goldstone's friend from summer camp, if the idea here is transparency, if that's wh

fred? >> barbara, if indeed mosul is truly liberated and that's the message, what's the next step in the fight against isis? >> an effort to hold on to security gains made, but isis is still very much there and still very much the focus of the trump administration's national security policy. so expect to see iraqi forces backed up by the u.s. continue to move west and south to try and destroy still existing pockets of isis in iraq, west and south of mosul, in syria, still a big effort to try and retake isis' self-declared capital of raqqa and move southeast into the euphrates river valley. all places where there you isis fighters. the long-term picture, really, is what's coming home, is essentially the notion that you cannotbomb isis out of existence. this is a policy that began under the obama administration. president trump carrying it on. it has gone a very long way. of course, to helping rid the world of isis, but an ideology. it's going underground to become a griuerrilla movement and

that's a big problem, fred. it's not only office of professional responsibility but i believe criminal charges are going to be brought against this officer. ? and civil. >> and civil. this is really horrific and, you know, it's tough enough to defend people, but when law enforcement plant evidence it's the worst. >> avery, there have been a lot of cases but one very high-profile case is the freddy gray case in baltimore. when you have images like this and we already know widespread the distrust that's been reported between the community and police in many sections of baltimore, this only adds fuel to that fire, doesn't it. >> it certainly does. i mean, the best that's going to come out of this, fredricka, is you'll be able to show a rogue cop, whether the city will be civilly responsible for that remains to be seen. i have to tell you, one thing for sure, under an 1871 federal civil rights act, that individual cop, if he did this, is personally on the line for both compensatory and community -- and punitive dama

fred, for republicans, mika for democrats. fred, an important detail about next wednesday.uled to be a public hearing. how do you think that is factoring into donald trump jr. and paul manafort's decisions here? >> well, i think from one perspective they're looking at this as an opportunity to tell the story and answer allegations concerning russia and the election, but the stakes are very high here. i think paul manafort will handle himself well but donald trump jr. is not familiar with the ways of washington and congress. mika and i have sat in on many contentious hearings and she'll agree witnesses can get themselves in a lot of trouble if they're not experienced with these hearings. if he doesn't, he'll have to listen to his attorney, answer carefully, be forthcoming and not try to answer questions that are traps or questions he doesn't have an answer to. >> mika, what does this look like for republicans? the fact these two gentlemen haven't said yes yet though don junior said over and over i've said everything. if it ultimately comes down to subpoenas, republicans subp

fred, your thoughts here. he was in an extraordinary performance, and we have another day for president trump to demonstrate why he is the leader of the free world. you have to be heartened, you have to be proud. fred: he had a great day yesterday. today he had this meeting with putin that the "new york times" reported ahead of time putin would win, and putin got nothing. putin has to put out a statement that he will never interest veer with another country's elections. he may not mean it, by has to put out a statement saying that why? not because they both agree they need such statement. but because trump impose it on him. people i think will see with a working president going into a session with the russian leader when there is no real agenda and it goes on for 2 hours 15 minute, trump did fine. lou: trump is the president of the united states and what we have are some in the national left-wing media and some on the hard left and the deep state. nonetheless, he is leading and without exception doing a marvel

fred: i don't think the battle is lost.done properly can slow down where medicaid is headed, and that's of course to a single payer system. the most important thing right now is to pass a bill in the senate. if they don't pass a bill, it will hurt every member. it will hurt the republican party. it will guarantee a democrat wave election. if you have to give a little bit on medicaid just to get the bill passed, i would do it. >> let's talk about some of the republican opponent to the bill. they fave more toward the obamacare version of medicate than what rand paul is talking about. rob portman is leading the charge. then'ting thing about him is thee years ago the "wall street journal" published an editorial by him that says the longer we wait to enact reforms, the more abrupt and painful they will be. it's time for everyone to come together and start to erase the red ink. >> there is such a cravenness on both side of the aisle. democrats were calling for serious reform of the medicate expansion or medicaid problems. that wa

i knew about fred. i miss fred. i think he was a decent, honorable human being. ms. stahl: i'm going to jump ahead because we have a second half. how many of you think that if there had been no tape, that nixon would have served out his term? all of you? if there were not tapes, nixon would have been president until he end of his term? >> i agree with that. ms. stahl: why do you think he did not destroy the tape? anybody have a theory? mr. hamilton: vanity. hubris. mr. dorsen: i think in large part, he thought the tapes were not going to harm him. i cannot remember where i got that idea from. it's just like clinton inviting an investigation of whitewater. 99% or 97% is innocuous, but nobody cares about that. they are concentrating on the 3% that is going to be bad. expert and obstruction of justice is not a qualification for becoming counsel to the president. i think they were somewhat lined it by the whole thing and did not appreciate the seriousness of what they were doing. mr. hamilton: nixon had some good lawyers, and i'm sure they mentioned the words obstruction

. >> yeah, that's right, fred. you know, the mueller investigation, you know, each week that goes by perhaps we hear of something new that they're going to be looking at. the sessions matter, the issue with the intercepts and sergey kislyak, you know, these intercepts have been part of the investigation for some time now. the u.s. government has had these intercepts, this isn't necessarily anything new that has just come to light, but it is part of the mueller investigation, the russia investigation into how they meddled. and certainly this has been a hot topic here at the aspen security forum and almost every panel someone is asked about russia. and, you know, just yesterday two former leaders of the intelligence community, that's james clapper and the former cia director john brennan, addressed the other revelation that was revealed last week where a meeting that donald trump jr. had and manafort and some other folks with a russian lawyer and sort of their reaction to it was quite fiery. take a listen. >> a lot o

>> reporter: yeah, fred. at this point it is purely speculation.nt to stress this comes from a politico report in which some sources talked to officials at the department of homeland security who threw his name out there as a possible new secretary of the department of home security. cnn has not received any indication that the president is even considering this or that sessions would even accept the job, but because we've seen so many unprecedented moves from this white house before, lawmakers are responding to this, at least entertaining it as a serious possibility. lindsey graham yesterday said this would be a bad idea. today, earlier today, susan collins was on "meet the press" and said she would be opposed to the? ed if the move were made, because sessions recused himself from the russia investigation. but as we know, that's the main point of friction between the president and his attorney general. kellyanne conway reiterated that earlier today. listen. >> again, that's a personnel question that only the president can answer. i will tell you t

the guy they say is fred noonan absolutely doesn't look like anything like fred noonan.ind enough to give them both a change of clothing because amelia earhart didn't have a show like that and fred always dressed in a dark shirt and dark slacks, not all in white. and i could go on. one of the most interesting things that has just recently come to light his friends over at the daily mail claim that they have had this photograph since a year ago and so that is when it really came to light among people who know about such things. the daily mail said they went a step further and they did research in the us national archives and found that this photograph is one of a batch of photos that was labelled" post—i9 40". we know that this won't end the speculation but it is very interesting. thank you. nothing will end the speculation. it is going to live on. rick gillespie. for a lot of people, air travel can be a bit of a chore. delays, queues, cramped conditions and food that often leaves a great deal to be desired. but once upon a time it was very different. travelling by air wa
