when will calista gingrich be known as ambassador gingrich? gerry: it's up to the senate. she has to be confirmed by the senate. it was a remarkable honor when the president asked if she'd be willing to serve. she, i think, is a little in awe of serving in a position like that, dealing with the holy father and dealing with the -- but we talked to a number of friends. just last night, we had dinner with two former ambassadors who were offering advice, and i think she's working, she's studying really hard. i've never seen her study any harder. she really wants to do well for the country. she wants to meet the senators' questions, deal with the things they care about. and on some issues like human trafficking, she's very passionate and thinks that given senator corker's leadership in that area, the leadership that we've gotten from ivanka trump in that area, that she might be able to make a real difference helping work with the church to fight human trafficking around the world. host: we'll be covering the confirmation hearings in their into the on the c-span networks. back t

newt gingrich makes a good point. james comey, in the middle of the night, after he was fired, realizes he is going to somehow form the dialogue that's going to require a special counsel. in the middle of the night he gets up and leak his memo, tells his friend to leak the memo to "the new york times." at that point from his private citizen. he shouldn't be doing that. not his job to get an independent counsel appointed for the term case. it is going to be a witch hunt, i agree. >> eboni: may be jim comey thinks it's his patriotic duty to make sure we have a special counsel. >> kat: perhaps. also we are talking about newt gingrich, what he said about the special counsel when it was announced, that this guy was great. honest, integrity. the media better calm down. it's a case of deciding how you feel about somebody. based on what is politically convenient. >> eboni: let's meet today's specialists. she's an entrepreneur, family law attorney, and a regular on the fox news channel but she specializes in being the best mom

speaker gingrich, thank you for coming. [applause] >> since you have both been in washington, it is usually the establishment candidate who wins the republican nomination. george w walker bush, george w. bush and mitt romney over you in 2012. but in 2016 donald trump got it. what changed between 2012 when you were the insurgeant and in 2016 when trump was and won? >> in '64 gold water won and in '80 reagan won against the establishment. those were the precursors to trump as i think the contract with america was in '94. i felt a little bit fortunate in that i worked with reagan both his candidate and president while in congress. we had the contract with america and now you have trump so i think the three have a conti continuity. trump is a better candidate than i am. you have to start with that. he is a unique phenomenon. he called and asked me for advice on debating and i laughed at him. i said you have a unique style, are stunningly effective and if you try to do what i do you would be screwed up. i think he is a better de

>> we'll ask newt gingrich. one of mueller's biggest critics. >> technically, the president of the united states cannot obstruct justice. >> when he's ready to discuss it, he will. >> do those tapes exist? and if they do, will the president comply? i valtravelled to the heart of trump country to find out. do you want to get to the truth about this? do you care? is it important? insights and analysis from our power house "roundtable." everything you need to know. what happens after the president of the united states says i am being investigated. >>> good morning. and to all the fathers out there, a very happy father's day. this week, a new sense of urgency over president trump's future and the cost of political anger. the shock of that wednesday morning shooting a gunman targeting republi congress practicing for their annual charity baseball game. banner headlines. hometown paper of congressman steve scalise still in the hospital facing more surgery and a long recovery. the hospital reports scalise is doing bette

gingrich sent out a tweet this morning and it kind of took off like wildfire, when he wrote this -- "republicans are delusional if they think the special counsel is going to be fair. look who he is hiring. check fec reports. time to rethink." add to that, here's what the president's -- one of the president's lawyers said yesterday when he was asked about the potential of mueller being fired by the president. >> will the president promise not to interfere, not attempt at any time to order the deputy attorney general to fire robert mueller? >> look, the president of the united states, as we all know, it's a unitary executive, but the president is going to seek the advice of his counsel, and inside the government as well as outside, and i'm not going to speculate on what he will or will not do. i can't imagine that that issue's going to arise, but that, again, is an issue that the president with his advisers would discuss, if there was a basis. >> so, you have that from jay sekulow, but on the newt gingrich bit, this is the same newt gingrich who tweeted in may that he liked the mueller

stephanopoulos rightly noting a bit of the hypocrisy newt gingrich was present 'but what is gingrich getting at? >> they're trying to undermine bob mueller. i don't think that that's necessarily, kate, about firing bob mueller. >> okay. >> donald trump has done a lot of things i could have never predicted. to me, firing bob mueller is so obviously political suicide, he won't -- even donald trump would not take that gamble. but what i do think newt gingrich and others are getting at here is an attempt to say, no matter what bob mueller finds out -- well, i mean, of course he found that out! look, he put a couple lawyers who loved hillary clinton on his staff. well, of course, they arrived at "x" conclusion. i actually think it's more about a long-term campaign to undermine the conclusions that mueller's special counsel investigation finds, assuming those are not terribly favorable for donald trump. then it's about running him out of town, because newt gingrich is a smart political strategist. he is not dumb. he did not engineer the takeover of the house in 1994 by being dumb. what he

and therefore, newt gingrich is attacking bob mueller. members of congress on both sides of the aisle find mr. mueller to be someone of bravery and courage who served his country with bravery in vietnam, who served both parties. >> let's talk about the democrats he was talking about. congressman. is that a point? if he's got democrats in there, if he's got people who have given to clinton and other democrats? >> no, i think anyone who knows bob mueller knows he is choosing the best people to serve on the investigative team. people with experience in the issues he wants to investigate and believes need to be investigated. as you and pierre pointed out, he can't go through f.e.c. filings to determine if he should or shouldn't hire people. he's picking the best people. members of congress have confidence in that. what's happening here, the president wants to take down bob mueller. his lawyer wants to take down bob mueller. the question is, why? and i think the answer is they want to lay the foundation to discredit whatever bob mueller comes

and newt gingrich voted for that. so i'm not sure how you can be a sitting congressman and speaker of the house voting for articles of impeachment which passed through, as we know. bill clinton acquitted in the senate. but now you voted articles of obstruction of justice against the president, you can obstruct justice. let me say one other thing. many have said, and i disagree from a legal perspective, that the president can fire a special prosecutor. he would have to order, that is president trump, the attorney general to do so. the attorney general recused himself. so we may see another recusal in rod rosenstein, so we may see ms. brand, if she takes over. so what if she resigns? this could get rather messy. >> rosenstein said he would only fire if there is cause. let's play for you what newt gring ri gingrich said in the '90s. >> what you have lived through for 2 1/2 long years is the most systematic, deliberate, obstruction of justice coverup and effort to avoid the truth. >> speaking of the clintons there. so pre

did you vote for newt gingrich over the years?reporter: voting for the republican or democrat for the seat? >> the democrat. >> reporter: one of the reasons he's voting for the democrat and not republican, handle, has to do with donald trump. >> you hear the president, let's drain the swamp, but here we are in the 6th congressional district, right, 38 years of the same style, the same approach, the same thing. >> reporter: it's been nearly four decades since a democrat has held the congressional seat in this district. which is troubling others on this street, too. >> it's time for a change. >> reporter: glen says it's kind of cool to live on the street where newt gingrich used to live but he and his wife, susan, are democrats and have the only political yard sign on the block and it's for john ossoff. they say it's a referendum on the performance of donald trump. >> i can't remember any president going back to ronald reagan or earlier who has been as crude and coarse to other people. i can't imagine ronald reagan talking the way t

so speaker gingrich is absolutely right. i would say, mr. understand this is a mechanism for you to get or message out. but please only tweet about the positive things so we could augment your message and augment your policies. >> why would the president put these tweets out? what does he get out of it? this is publicizing information that in the first place reflects rather poorly on him and may not be true. >> i don't think it is a strategic play. i think this president from day one -- >> reactionary? >> even in the reasons he decided to run for president, i think there is this deep seeded sense of grievance and that makes him feel like he's always being attacked. even now that he's the president of the united states he's always the victim of the media, of the deep state, of the house freedom caucus, whoever it is. and these tweets and many of his actions are a response to that sense of personal attack and grievance. >> robert mueller, talk to me about the president's iedsolode. >> for all intents and purposes from a constitutional standpoi

but speaker gingrich thank you for coming. [applause] >> it is initially the establishment candidate george h. to view bush john mccain and mitt romney and then donald trump the merger is victorious. so then when donald trump would play the role and win. >> goldwater won the nomination and in 80 reagan won. those were the precursors to trump for growth so i feel a little bit fortunate so i do think they have a continuity that is a much better candidate and that is a unique phenomenon but i laughed at them is that i will not give you vice you have a unique style your said the effective and if you try to learn what i do you would screw that up suggests me you are into what you do but if you measure the audience rather than that debate system but then to spend $15 million in florida. in one day after south carolina the advisers said she would be the nominee i did not have the resources then but trump had enough resources at any time but he did something that i could not have done as one of the great backs of genius in american po

it's out this week by former house speaker, newt gingrich. he's going to join us in just a moment, as washington continues. and later, we'll turn our attention to animal welfare and u.s. businesses with the head of the humane society of america. but first, our guest on "newsmakers" is democratic congressman tim walz of minnesota. we talked with him about a number of veterans' urebs. he's the ranking democrat on the house veterans affairs committee, including the veterans' choice program, which allows veterans to get healthcare through private doctors, might offer help closer to where the veterans live. >> it's going to run short of money before we budget again, and that will be an interesting debate, if you will, of do we give them more money? do we allow the freedom to move things? is he argument going to be made that this is the back door to privatization? all of those things are on the horizon for this summer so. they are coming to the end that have money now. we just reauthorized them to use what was little left. it sounds like to me, and

newt gingrich, michelle malkin, patrick j buchanan, mike myers will all be here with reaction.ut first, the unelected fourth branch of government, the deep state is trying to overturn the results of november's election and throw this president out of office. how did a bunch of unelected bureaucrats get so much power, feel so emboldened that they think they can undermine a duly elected president of the united statesy? plus, after this week's left-wing assassination attempt on revoking lawmakers, the coming together kumbaya moment it is nothing more than an illusion. it. is a farce to hide the less true intentions. we will expose of this hypocrisy in tonight's very important opening monologue. the unelected fourth branch of government is now being aided and abetted by the destroyed trunk media. all in a massive effort to damage and destroy president trump. this week alone, we have seen unprecedented and potentially criminal leaks from the deep state to liberal "washington post" ." the liberal smear machine is masquerading as a news outlet and they are reporting new sighting of co

. >> let's listen to newt gingrich making the case for firing the special prosecutor. >> i think that what republicans ought to focus on is closing down the independent counsel, because he is not independent. he apparently is very close to comey. we know comey hates trump. you have to assume that that has to leak over to mueller. and you have to assume that the people mueller is going to bring in are essentially justice department people who were 33-1 in favor of clinton over trump. >> david frum, your reaction to newt gingrich. >> first, he is calling him an independent counsel. that's an important mistake. the independent counsel law was allowed to lapse attend of the last century because there were doubts of constitution. that the special counsel is under the president because people have argued the president can be trusted to investigate himself. if that turns out not to be true, you are into political recommend dolphins most dire kind. maybe newt gingrich would welcome that because it's kind of an apocalyptic scenario and he enjoys those. i don't want to sound like i have the lim

donald trump didn't invent this, newt gingrich didn't invent this. james carville we saw with the bimbo eruption, saying you drag a $100 bill through a trailer park there's no telling what you'll come up with. this is what you do when you're in trouble, you go after the messenger, you attack the attacker and that's exactly what they're doing. >> if you want to see another example, over the weekend jay seculo, somebody matt lewis knows very well and he was on the sunday shows and asked directly whether or not the president would consider firing the special counsel, this is what he said. >> will the president promise not to interfere, not attempt at any time to order the deputy attorney general to fire robert mueller? >> the president of the united states it's a unitary executive. he'll seek the advice of his counsel and inside and outside. i'm not speculating what he will or will not do you. i can't imagine that issue will arise but that is an issue the president with his advisers would discuss if there was a basis. >> april ryan, refusing to knock it

here's what former house speaker institute gingrich had to say about the idea. listen to this. >> technically, president of the united states cannot obstruct justice. the president of the united states is the chief executive officer of the united states. if he wants to fire the fbi director, all he has to do is fire him. >> you might not like it, but does newt have a point? >> first of all, let me be clear, investigations determine whether there has been an obstruction of justice. i gave the definition of it and it can be quite simple. i disagree with the speaker. i served when speaker gingrich was in, and he can express his views, but the issue as it was in the nixon watergate proceedings was not the breakin. it was the coverup. it is not the question of whether the president can or did fire one of his employees. it is the engagement to stop an investigation or to impede it and that is asking director comey as he's evidenced under oath which of course further investigation will be illuminate to, can you lay off of this individual, can you lay off this investiga

. >> the other thing, newt gingrich. this calls into question how much longer the mueller investigation is going to go on and whether or not the white house might try to fire him. that conversation is starting to bubble up right now. take a look at what newt gingrich said on facebook live today. >> i think that what republicans ought to focus on is closing down the independent counsel, because he's not independent. he apparently is very close to comey. we know comey hates trump. you have to assume that has to leak over to more. and you have to assume that the people mueller is going to bring in are essentially justice department people who are 33-1 in favor of clinton over trump. this clearly cannot be an honest, independent investigation. >> he also did a tweet out to that effect, but in direct conflict with the tweet he sent out about three weeks ago where he said robert mueller is a superb choice to be counsel, his reputation is one of integrity, the media should calm down. does he not know we can see his tweets? >> i

are you concerned as newt gingrich about the makeup of robert mueller's team and democratic donations that are clearly there and their background? >> i think it's relevant information that the public should have. if we are going to talk about transparency and accountability and all the players here, i think it's relevant that people know that mr. mueller's team includes folks who gave significant amounts of money. one person, i read, gave more money than a single mom makes in over a year just to hillary clinton on speaker gingrich says that one of them was actually opposing the foia request for the clinton foundation. that's relevant information for people to have. steve: all right. kellyanne thank you for dropping by. now go back to work in our

i think that newt gingrich knows what he said is not necessarily accurate.hat it is true though, is it is challenging to bring an obstruction case against a president. that becomes a political decision that might end up being in an impeachment proceeding. bob mueller will have a hard time indicting the president of the united states because of enlisting doj rules that prohibit that. >> back in 19 the 8 during impeachment process and all of us remembered that. the president of the united states bill clinton was impeached in the house of representatives. newt gingrich was the speaker at time. he was not convicted. eventually in the u.s. senate. much more right after this. i was always "the girl with psoriasis." people don't stare anymore. i never joined in. that wasn't fair to any of us. i was covered. i tried lots of things over the years. but i didn't give up. i kept on fighting. i found something that worked. that still works. now? see me. see me. i found clear skin that lasts. see if cosentyx could make a difference for you- cosentyx is proven to help peop

i believe in open government and i think speaker gingrich put it well when he talked about that. reporter: are you concerned that the current political environment is encouraging it? mr. williams: i don't know this person evidently had eastern issue or democratic or republican issue. nobody condones this. i do think that our rhetoric in this country could be turned down a little bit. the tone could be turned down a little bit. i think that's what we have to work on and continue to talk about it. reporter: do you think security plans for the games will be altered? will there be an increasing amount of officers? mr. williams: i don't know what the plan was to begin with, but i would think that -- i'm hoping , since it's a charity, we would have. we normally have 25,000 people at this game. nats' stadium hold 50,000. maybe we would have 50,000 that tomorrow. but i'm not worried about that, because we have the best security people. they are going to do the right thing. everybody will be protected, not just the congresspeople. i don't worry about that. i hope we have a lot more people

. >> what about newt gingrich? who always seems to come back like the joker, back saying the president can't be indicted for abuse of authority, abuse of office, or even obstruction of justice. because for him to do it, it's like nixon talking. if i do it, it's legal. >> i think there is a legal debate in the view of the department of justice before this administration was that you can't indict the president, because if there's something the president's done, that is so terrible, the remedy is impeachment. >> let's take a look at it. here's trump ally newt gingrich defending the president friday, saying the mere fact that he is president means that he cannot obstruct justice. this is different than saying he can't be indicted. let's see what he says, how he says it. >> technically, the president of the united states cannot obstruct justice. the president of the united states is the chief executive officer of the united states. he wants to fire the fbi director. all he's got to do is fire him. >> well, back in 1998,

i think we need to think about it, although i thought speaker gingrich put it well when he said today one of the good things about having elected government is you can talk to your elected officials. we represent about 800,000 people in our district. some voted for us, some didn't. but we represent all of them. it's a slice of america. i think it's going to be a dialogue we have that we want to be able to keep where we have open government. i will tell you, i'll be frank with you. i mean, here i am a congressman and every now and then you'd like to have a friend on one side of you. i haven't decided that. i believe in open government and i thought speaker gingrich really put it well today when he talked about that. yes, ma'am. >> are you concerned that the current political climate is encouraging violence and if so, what do you think americans should do about it? >> well, i don't know if i want to talk about that today. i don't know. this person evidently had an yib. i don't think it was a democrat-republican issue. i do think that our rhetoric in our country could be toned down a lit

in fact, it was newt gingrich who said they probably could and should fire bob mueller. act is complicated and it was changed in 1999. >> the act of kree creating a sl counsel? >> after ken starr. there was a sense that if you give someone too much independence, there's no accountability. and there has to be a way for someone to be accountable to someone after ken starr. so they came up with this compromised solution, which is that the president can actually fire mueller and ken starr could not be fired at that point so i think they were looking for a middle ground here. the question is, that nobody can answer, nothing is perfect here. would it be a great solution for the president of the united states to ask rod rosenstein, who would then resign, so ask somebody else, to fire the independent counsel? no. but can he do it? absolutely. >> all of these structures, independent counsel, are designed, at least in a general way, to try to take politics out and make people independent. the story of washington, though, is that politics is never out. and even if people are indepe

it is a far cry in newt gingrich calling for bob mueller to be fired.ig a tipping point might this be for the republican party when you have someone like gingrich who is also criticizing members of his party for not defending the president? >> you do see those close to president trump starting to come after mueller personally not just the allegations and democrats pushing them you've seen roger stone call for mueller to be fired. you've seen congressman gohmert in the house, but at large you don't see that message taking hold with the rest of the congressional republicans. they don't want to get into a fire fight with someone that they've just weeks ago praised. mueller received a lot of bipartisan accolades when he was appointed special counsel because he has such unimpeachable credentials and most republicans recognize if president trump were to remove mueller at this juncture, it would mean the resignation of rod rosenstein from the justice department who would probably refuse to carry out that order. we would be liking at the nixon yan saturday nigh

newt not going -- gingrich, been there, done that. host: newt gingrich is going to be our guest in a half-hour, so we hope you tune in. he's out with a new book, "understanding trump." he'll be with us at 7:45, 7:50 east coast time. air nick california, welcome to the conversation. caller: good morning, america. i have to somewhat laugh about this. we seem like we're stuck in time, suspended in time. this is what happens when you brave. when you have bad behavior, you get suspended in time. so welcome to suspension of time. i never thought that time would end like a "get smart" movie. remember the "get smart" comedy series with russian chaos? chaos has finally got into the white house, y'all. but it's all misinformation. soviet union was all fake information. it was based upon us building weapons of mass destruction, keeping us scared. and unfortunately, there's a generation that was feared, scared. they made these -- you can't get under, and fear nuclear bombs and stuff. it was all fake, to get us to buy weapons and sell weapons to t

few weeks ago the same newt gingrich robert mueller superb choice to be special counsel.tweet the deep state spear, newt gingch speaker of theouse worked in congress 20 yearsnd al of a sudden deep state? >> forget speaker of the house and worked in congress, lives here as a d.c. lobbyist and insider. newt gingrich wants to sell books it would appear. i'm not sure he believes this. i don't know. i would never get in the former speaker's head. but it did strike me as strange for somebody who's been in this city for 35 years. >> matt welch, thank you. jake sherman, good to you here in the flesh as well. we are a few hours away from the congressional charity baseball game at nationals park. we will talk to one democrat if tonight's game about why it's so important to play ball tonight. over here! over here! no! (dog barking) whoever threw it has to go get it. not me! somebody will get it... ♪ (dog barking) anyone can dream. making it a reality is the hard part. from the b-2 to the upcoming b-21, northrop grumman stealth bombers give america an advantage in a turbulent world.

speaker gingrich, i want to speak to you about something else.t with your tweet that i discussed earlier with the republican chair woman ronna mcdaniel. here it is up on the screen again. republicans need to focus on closing down independent counsel because it clearly isn't independent. what's your reasoning and wouldn't that really look like an obstruction of justice? >> well, first of all, look at what comey said. comey said i deliberately leaked through an intermediary to create this counsel who happens to be one of his closest friends. then look at who miller is starting to hire. i mean, these are people that frankly look to me like they are setting up to go after trump, including people, by the way, who have been reprimanded for hiding from the defense information in two major cases. i think this is going to be a witch-hunt. i think that comey himself by his own testimony tainted this particular process. have you a director of the fbi deliberately leaking in order to create a special counsel who we're now supposed to believe is going to be t

also, newt gingrich, geraldo rivera, all here tonight with reaction. plus we are awaiting the return to the united states of an american student who was jailed in north korea for more than a year. he is indeed in need of serious medical treatment and is currently in a coma. we are following that story closely. but first, jeff sessions testimony today, a huge win for president trump and his administration as they continue to fight back against the unprecedented attacks against them. that is tonight's very important opening monologue. the attorney general jeff sessions came out of the box today swinging and ready to shoot down the massive lie that is been pushed endlessly by the democrats and of course the destroyed trumpet media about so-called trump russia collusion despite no evidence at this point. it is evident now that it is a complete and total lie and fabrication. so when attorney general jeff sessions was pushed about it by the democrats, he punched back hard in a major way. >> i was your colleague in this body for 20 years, and i participated,

gingrich and trump. i think that's sad. the question i have for mr. emailsh is actually have from steve scalise when i and thatbout mueller he knew he had been a coworker and very close friend of comey for years. i'm a counselor, a professional counselor, retired now. but i was never allowed -- counselors are never allowed to counsel someone that they know. due to the lack of objectivity that will be inherent in that. my question is how code or why was smaller appointed when there was an obvious close as honest as we want to be, there is still a level of objectivity that's hard to be present when you know somebody so well. how or why was he allowed to be appointed? and why should he not withdraw because of that? host: thanks for the call from louisiana. for the facebook page, the only way to get repeats just be a republican. name,on had a d after his it would have been oh well, no big deal. striking, theare differences are worrisome, but the end result of the same -- two presidents who have crippled themselves and brought shame on the nation. share yo

i believe in open government and i think speaker gingrich put it well today. yes ma'am? reporter: are you concerned that the current political climate is encouraging violence, and if so, what do you think america should do about it? mr. williams: i don't know if i want to talk about that today. i don't know, this person evidently had an issue. i don't think it was a democratic or republican issue. he just had an issue. nobody condones this. i do think candidly that our rhetoric in this country could be turned down a little bit, the town could be turned down a little bit, but that is what we have to work on. and we have to continue to talk about it. yes ma'am? reporter: do you think security plans for the game tomorrow will be altered? will there be an increased amount of officers? mr. williams: i don't know what the plan was to begin with, but i would think -- i am hoping, since it's a charity, we will have more people than we would have had. we normally have 25,000 people at this game. that stadium holds 50,000. maybe we will have 50,000 there tomorrow. but i'm not worr

i do kind of defend newt gingrich a little bit. first tweet without knowing that comey was going to say that he tried to rig the system to make sure a special counsel was appointed by getting a go between to get his memo to self out there. we're on the ground floor of a political and legal territory that we have never been on because no president has proceeded in the way that president trump has. i know i'm saying the obvious, but one quick observation. the unfolding chaos we're seeing is because president trump i think still hasn't absorbed that even the president of the united states has limit to his or maybe one day her power, and that, i think, is a basis for this too. that's why you could float the idea that he could or would fire mueller and not suffer for it. >> right. let me just say that i don't use the word rigged to describe comey. it's clear he wanted a special counsel. he was essentially trying to facilitate, help along, inspire. he didn't ultimately make the decision, but to lynn's point about the presidential power,

that is from newt gingrich about bob mueller.rical context, we try that every now and then in washington, here's newt gingrich a short time ago, may 17th. robert mueller is a superb choice to be a special counsel. media should calm down. so we had our staff, look, there is one person on the staff so far and we're going to look at them all who gave about $18,000 to democratic causes over the years. that's one person. this is washington. is that reason enough for newt gingrich to suddenly turn and say bob mueller, a guy who was fbi director under george w. bush extended his term so that he could stay on, bob mueller has become a partisan hack overnight? >> no. because bob mueller is the one in charge of this investigation. ultimately to decide how to proceed and there is some oversight over him by rod rosenstein even though there is a special counsel, so he can't really just do whatever he wants in this investigation. can't just do whatever they want. so the question is -- the jury's out about how bob mueller conduc conducts himsel

newt gingrich called mueller the tip of the deep state spear trying to undot president's agenda. >> i think this is a really important point and i'm glass marco rubio and some other republicans have underscored they have confidence in mueller and about his integrity and his career and that it's unimpeach pa able. the reason that's important we have gotten more than an inkling from donald trump supporters including newt gingrich and others, he, donald trump could be on the verge of wanting to fire mueller and we all know that would be a complete disaster, it would be a disaster for the white house, it would be a disaster for the investigation, it would be really bad for this country. i think that's an important point that republicans in congress who are supporters of this president are really saying to same under no uncertain terms you better not be thinking about bob mueller, firing the special counsel because that will be the worst thing that you can embark on in this really good situation that you're in. you're going to make it that much worse. i also think it's a signal to the admi

also, newt gingrich, geraldo rivera, all here tonight with reaction. plus we are awaiting the return to the united states of an american student who was jailed in north korea for more than a year. he is indeed in need of serious medical treatment and is currently in a coma. we are following that story closely. but first, jeff sessions testimony today, a huge win for president trump and his administration as they continue to fight back against the unprecedented attacks against them. that is tonight's very important opening monologue. the attorney general jeff sessions came out of the box today swinging and ready to shoot down the massive lie that is been pushed endlessly by the democrats and of course the destroyed trumpet media about so-called trump russia collusion despite no evidence at this point. it is evident now that it is a complete and total lie and fabrication. so when attorney general jeff sessions was pushed about it by the democrats, he punched back hard in a major way. >> i was your colleague in this body for 20 years, and i participated,

plus former house speaker newt gingrich has just arrived.o us about understanding president trump, the name of a new book. he'll have insight on how the president makes decision. you're watching "cbs this morning". thank you for that. we'll be right back. while hpv clears up for most, that wasn't the case for me. maybe they didn't know i would end up with cancer because of hpv. maybe if they had known there was a vaccine to help protect me when i was 11 or 12. maybe my parents just didn't know. right, mom? dad? what will you say? don't wait. talk to your child's doctor today. learn more at hpv.com. do yno, not really. head & shoulders? i knew that not the one you think you know the tri action formula cleans removing up to 100% of flakes protects and even moisturizes for sofia vergara hair with my moderate to severe crohn's disease,... ...i kept looking for ways to manage my symptoms. i thought i was doing okay... then it hit me... ...managing was all i was doing. when i told my doctor,... ...i learned humira is for people who still have symp

why are we hearing from ruddy and from newt gingrich, all this talk about dumping mueller? where is it coming from? can you tell? >> well, i can't tell, and i have to wonder if there's nothing to hide here, why are people so concerned about what the special counsel might find? i mean we keep hearing from president trump that he has nothing to hide, that he's happy to come before congress and testify. and yet we hear all of his allies being very concerned about the investigation that this special counsel mueller is engaging in. so i think it raises serious questions about what really is going on. >> do you have a hunch what they're hiding, because they've been talking executive privilege. they talked the fifth amendment. they talk about immunity. everybody seems to think there's a "there" there. what is the "there"? do you know yet? the collusion with the russians, what is the nature of it? >> i don't think we know that. that's why it's very important for this independent investigation to go forward and to get the information out. it's in the white house interest. it's in co

you know, rebecca, the former speaker of the house, newt gingrich, he's been outspoken in his defense president throughout all of this period. i want you to listen to what he said this morning. >> the president of the united states cannot obstruct justice. the.of the united states is the chief executive officer of the united states. if he wants to fire the nbc director, all he's got to do is spitfire him. >> he was the speaker of the house when bill clinton was president of the united states, and he was accused of obstructing justice, and he was eventually impeached by the house of representatives and the speaker of the house was newt gingrich. >> right. well, now the shoe is on the other foot, and newt has taken a different view of things. i don't want to try to be a newt translator here. it might have been he was talking about criminal obstruction of justice versus impeachment which is a political process and it's very hard to charge the president with a crime. if muler were to find anything troubling about the president himself, it might be he takes that to the houpgs, to tse of re
