georgia politics. he worked for governor sonny purdue's campaign and he's had a rise from there and because of that he's certainly earned a lot of critics some might say enemies in washington. that certainly goes along with the job here in washington but he's also viewed as a steady hand and i can tell you that he found a way to introduce and ingratiate himself to president trump by attending those regular lunches that the vice president and president tend to have and that over time president trump came to take a liking to him. so we'll have to see if donald trump settles on him as his next chief of staff. nick ayers is certainly more politically attuned than john kelly was and that matters particularly as the white house now shifts with an eye on president trump's re-election campaign and certainly they have to figure out a way to deal with the onslaught of subpoenas and investigations from house democrats when democrats take control of the house come january. so that's something that most people think nick ayers would be more capable at doing than john kelly would. >> also part of the roster changes today, just looking down at my sheet here we've got william barr. that's

audience, our guests here in washington, michael cohen and joining us from west palm beach, florida, kathleen kennedy townsend. jeff is on the phone from warm springs, georgia ahead, please. >> caller: mrs. townsend, i was curious, in what ways were your father's views similar to his brother john toward richard nixon, and in what ways were they different? >> that's a good question. well, interestingly enough when richard nixon and my uncle john kennedy were in the senate together they got along. they had both fought in world war -- they got along as a republican/democrat, but not the same animosity we had between parties in the '50s that there is now. and i think that's in large part because they had both fought in world war ii. so there's a respect for people who are in the trenches together, who put their life on the line together. you may disagree on some policies, but after all what you've shared is the threat of death and seeing your fellow soldiers die. so i think that there's -- that always creates a kind of bond. my father, you know, ran the campaign against nixon. i don't think they respected him during the campaign as much, clearly, when you run a
