so giuliani was -- he was the fbi director. he has a lot of experience with dealing with these guys. i'm sure he had sources. >> well, it looked like he knew enough fbi guys up in the new york buru or whatever to know these guys had something come out of the sleazy anthony weiner investigation, that he knew something was coming and he was with cheering it on. get that slop out there because it's going to hurt hillary. >> two things on that. >> then we had him on. comey seemed to reveal today that the fbi is looking into whether anybody leaked information to rudy giuliani. let's watch that part. >> during your investigation of hillary clinton's e-mails, a number of surrogates like rudy giuliani claimed to have a pipeline to the fbi. now, either they're lying, or there's a serious problem within the bureau. anybody in the fbi during this 2016 campaign have contact with rudy giuliani about the clinton investigation? >> i don't know yet. but if i find out that people were leaking information about our investigations, whether it's t

so it's not an action that rudy giuliani was -- accident that rudy giuliani was this biggest campaign surrogate and that jeff sessions talk about police departments being ham struck by these consent degrees. the worse impulse is what i'm identifying are now embodied in the highest reaches of government. the world view of the federal government embodies this zero sum idea, this broken windows idea. in fact the border wall to me is this literal manifestation of broken windows. >> host: talk about that. how so. >> guest: i think broken windows, at some level the appeal of broken windows is about the fear -- this noor rottic fear about unraveling and penetration and the jungle reclaiming the civilized spots. and so what is more night'llly a manifestation that you will literally build a border to keep out the dissport tell that to people who live 1500 miles from the border. what do they care? think about the people that cheered that mexico was going to pay for the wall. a rally in michigan, 100 miles from the northern border, he's however many hundreds of mill miles from the southern borde

i think about rudy giuliani we thought was going to get a big post and he didn't.does this tell you? >> i don't know that it's loyalty. donald trump didn't show loyalty to people who were very high up in terms of surrogates who took heat for him during the campaign, governor christie, mayor giuliani who then allowed his team to go and really undermine them in the press when they didn't want them to have certain jobs. >> mike flynn was already somewhat disgraced before this campaign, rudy giuliani could have gotten a bridge named after him in new york city, being, you know, the mayor who was here during 9/11 and he went on television over and over really putting himself out there, staying on that donald trump talking points scrt. and trump continues to douefend flynn. >> chris christie and rudy giuliani i would never voted for the bridge but they made fools of themselves. totally went out and made fools of themselves. >> i wouldn't go that far. >> i think so. it was embarrassing. they lost real credibility, what credibility they had. >> you can say they lost credibi

built from the different kind of angles like what i experience growing up in new york, appeal of giuliani and this certain kind of rhetoric what it has brought for community of color and it teat like it was useful to maybe have that. >> seem like ferguson is really kind of an anchor in many ways in the books so i'm wondering how your experience reporting there kind of aluminated what you're talking about growing up in the bronx in the 80s. >> yeah, the thing about ferguson that blew my mind if you grow up in a city and grow up in the brongs you have a conception of cities as distinct so in cities you have -- bad neighborhood and good neighborhoods. all kinds of like loaded ways in which police police communities differently all ways in which borders of neighborhoods sit atop each other and overlap and create this sandpaper friction. all of that to me was tied very deeply to either the bronx, to new york or cities because then i moved to chicago and i was in chicago and lived in d.c. and all of the things pertain. thing that blew my mind about ferguson is it is a municipality of 20,000 peo

not based on religion, says rudolph giuliani, it is danger, attorney generaral bob ferguson.edaid the president him up and said create a muslim ban, just makeke it legal. thatwe would submit is cannot be done. you cannot say you're going to have a muslim ban and try to make that legal. that violates our constitution and multiple federal judges have come to the same conclusion. also, it is worth pointing out that homeland security issued a report early on -- really on we had about all over the first executive order. homeland security issued a nature of origin is a poor way to determine who comes into the country if you're concerned about national security. we had a formemer security advir of george w. bush support our litigation against the travel ban saying it was bad for national security. frankly, there's been more evidence in the record of these cases the travel ban is a bad idea for national security rather than a good one. amy: attorneney general bob ferguson, president trump called , inindge who stayed the ban your state, washington, a so-called judge. and the jeff sess

for example, rudy giuliani. for example, new jersey governor chris christie.son why thehe firing of comey is so controversial, even among republicans, among pretty much everybody, because it creates the perception the fbi has lost its independence. so the last thing that trump can do to tamp down the perception is appoint someone viewed as his lackey. there is no more craven principle free corrupt prosecutor that you can think of in the c countryry that trump cd appoint other than rudy giuliani, except perhaps for chris christie. those two are probably the worst possible selections that trump could make in order to put in charge of the fbi. i think if you do that, you would start to see a lot more defections, even among republicans, who would start to view this as a bridge way too far. nermeen: republicans have already criticized him for firing, in the first place. i do you think, to go back to my question earlier, that this could be the beginning of the end of trump's presidency? >> if you studied the watergate investigation, it began with these lies and thes

chris christie is probably interested, rudy giuliani i'm sure is interested. share are arrive david clark of milwaukee is interested in this job, all of whom campaigned actively for president trump. >> the president met with the acting director right now, mccabe. but david, i want you do in here, and let me give you a little context though. you have to look at where the president's head has been and for better or worse, we know because that's what his twitter feed is. it gives you a present sense impression of what matters to him. and obviously last night very late he was bashing schumer saying schumer wants it both ways. but his consistency of thought about this russian investigation, he hates it, he thinks it's illegitimate, he wants to can kill it, he did everything he could do to prejudice against sally yates before she gave her testimony and he colored it during the testimony and now he gets rid of comey. is it possible to separate those two moments? >> no, i don't think it is. how many times have we talked on this program about what i think is the presid

i used to hear giuliani's name a lot. do you think he's seen as too partisan, too much as sort of the kind of person that might do anything donald trump wants him to do in this environment and thus would that be a problem? >> right. i think that is a problem and remember, we have to deal now with the perspective tough confirmation, no matter who it is on the hill. so you really need someone who is viewed as independent, not someone who is a campaign spokesman as giuliani. >> okay. and what makes you say that ray kelly has that independence? >> well, he has it because he's already demonstrated it and because people who have worked with him know how independent-minded he is. and how he speaks back to power. that's a very unusual quality. he's also not only a kind of strategist but knows what he is going on beneath him. we have a police department here of 55,000 people, 35,000 uniformed and yet he always had his ear to the ground. >> so you think who it is that can get through the confirmation process as well. >> right. >> i

giuliani can ride christie's shoulders like master and blaster. it does feel like the after-times. americans aren't the only ones who are shocked about the comey firing. so is the rest of the world. a british paper called comey's firing "a brazen attack on the rule of law." an israeli paper described trump as "a president who doesn't play by any rules." and a headline in the netherlands read, "vrees voor doofpot na onstlag fbi-topman." ( laughter ) i don't speak dutch, but i think i know who the "doofpot" is. ( laughter ) ( applause ) oh, my gosh. and the turmoil back here in the states is really hard on u.s. ambassadors. like the u.s. ambassador to qatar, dana shell smith, who tweeted, "increasingly difficult to wake up overseas to news from home, knowing i will spend today explaining our democracy and institutions." it does sound hard. that sounds like a tough gig. >> jon: that's a tough one. >> stephen: let me try to help you out, ambassador. i can explain our government to the people of qatar: america is run by a group of powerful men, many of whom are very religious, doing wha

and rudy giuliani. who should be the next pick?osenstein and jeff sessions, and conducting interviews this afternoon, and i will totally trust their judgment, and the fbi, great candidates. david: don't know if you can hear me. political grouping of candidates. and more law enforcement type people who have background like ray kelly, mike rogers plays both fields, and among those groupings, political player -- >> if you consider chris christie and rudy to be political players, tremendous amount of experience, rudy giuliani, and i don't know if they want the job. don't know if they would be incredible but they have the experience but that will be up to rod rosenstein and that is up to general sessions. some people you and i said the fbi -- do disagree with that. it is all about law and order and so many women in the federal bureau vesting -- investigation. i have full faith. david: the change at the top is not going -- we see donald trump coming up, accepting an honorary degree, to his speech. >> determination to make america great a

he was asked specifically about statements giuliani made during the campaign, that he had some advanceice from former members of the f.b.i., at least, that there was going to be this-- about the clinton investigation. and he was grilled about that, specifically by patrick leahy, and he said he didn't know specifically but they were looking into it, and if they found any leaks that were made from the f.b.i., either to journalists, or individuals like giuliani, that there would be consequences for that. so he didn't specify specifically-- he didn't substantiate any allegations to a specific person we heard about. but he did pretty much corroborate that they are looking into those leaks that, you know, were bragged about to a certain extent by trump rose: timely the issueni. raised by lindsey graeme. what can we expect from russia in future elections? and what can we expect from russia in other countries where there are elections coming up? >> what comey said is that russia-- he actually-- he wouldn't disclose anything about the russia investigation, but what he did say was russia was sti

there were people like chris christie and rudy giuliani, who were -- >> what is it, though? >> we don't know. >> we really don't know. you know there were other people, i mentioned christie and giuliani, but there were others who went as far out on a limb, maybe further than flynn did for the president and they have no jobs and, certainly in giuliani's case, they have been rather publicly humiliated in the rejection as a job-seeker. and flynn not only got the job, but when he was dismissed, the president defended his character and said he was a good man being wronged. >> and potentially got caught up in obstruction of justice for asking comey to lay off of it. >> speaking of comey, and i know i'm jumping around here, but back to special prosecutor, and since dana perfectly mentioned james comey, in light of the special prosecutor, where things stand right now with bob mueller, do you think it is more or less likely that james comey will testify on the hill? >> i think, though congress has the right to require that or potentially require that, i think they're probably going t

according to a court filing, the president ordered giuliani during his presidential campaign to form commission tasked with developing a muslim ban that appeared legally sound. >>> currently trump's executive order puts a 90-day hold on visas from six muslim majority countries instead of seven eliminating iraq from the list and keeps a 120 day ban on entries to the u.s. by all refugees. >>> a los angeles city councilman wants to require any company hoping to land construction work building a proposed border wall to disclose that information as part of any bid to work with the city. the motion would not be an outright ban on any such contractors. instead, the councilman wants to send a message to potential bidders that they should avoid helping build "the wall." >> we think the scales of both the economy and the scales of justice, um, favor this policy over that policy. >> i can probably build this wall for $3.5 million to $4 million a mile. >> bids to build the wall are due in june. the councilman's ordinance is expected to be voted on in the city council next week. >>> meanwhile, th

anybody in the fbi during this 2016 campaign have contact with giuliani about the clinton investigation? know yet. if i find out that people were leaking information about our investigations whether to reporters or private parties, there will be severe consequences. >> did you know anything from jim either? >> same answer. >> how about other agents? yet, but it is a matter i very interested in and looking into. >> once you found the answer would you committed -- provided to us? >> i would provide some way to let you know. we're going to show you that whole hearing in just a few minutes. a sick marker phone calls. let's go over to texas with james on our line for republicans. he saw the news, read the news, what is your reaction, james? so i don't get to do a lot of things i would like to do to help fight this country, there is one thing i am not hearing anybody talk about. i want to know your opinion, is it possible that, for all my life, i'm 54 years old and i get to watch a lot of tv, whenever they talk about politics saying, once you get in the white house, you are just going to sell

with something like giuliani. will lead to a real crisis in our constitutional system because the democrats won't just try to vote against it they will block it. you will have mass had mass protests and other things. or it can go to again something like that who everybody acknowledges and recognizes is a man or a woman of total integrity. the problem here though is that is what everybody thought about rosenstein. the guy who wrote the letter that initiated this. but it looks like this. it looks fishy because all three letters were dated the same day. that is not how in the bureaucracy i've ever seen it works. has a problem. they overwhelmingly voted for them. they are going to be very suspicious of anybody who has advanced to play that role. that is your dangerous -- danger here. we are waiting may be some interests -- answers to some of the questions. from sarah huckabee sanders. about a week ago when she stood in last friday i believe for shauna spicer. she will do the honors today and you can bet the overwhelmi

. >> rudy giuliani. >> giuliani, but he is very loyal to mike flynn. are not sure what this is all about. on one end you can say he is loyal to somebody that's good. on the other hand if this is true he was sending messages to mike flynn saying stay strong, convincing mike flynn to take this job and flynn was reluctant to do so. the whole thing is a little bit odd but donald trump does want to keep a circle around him who he trusts. now that he is finding he doesn't trust those around him he is starting to bring in people from the old campaign circle. we are seeing names like corey lewandowski showing up at the white house again. donald trump is work working hard to surround himself with people who he thinks are loyal to him. and flynn was one of those guys. >> that story mentioned him and a couple others who re-entered the circle. >> it's almost like a security blanket in some ways bringing back the old characters from earlier in the campaign. but it's not a good idea, many around trump, will say, to bring someone like corey lewandowski who was so muc

there were claims that rudy giuliani was getting a pipeline of information about the progress of the e-mail investigation during the campaign, as he was being a consultant or aide to donald trump's campaign. the fbi director said today he doesn't know that that happened, but that he's looking into it, that there is a leak investigation. and that if he finds out there was, there will be serious consequences. so you're right, it was the most passionate explanation by the fbi director, an explanation that he's given before about his thought process, but never in this touch detail in one place, never with this much passion. >> pete, this is something that also struck me. i had not heard this little nugget. i believe we have it cued up. this was the fbi director talking about attorney general loretta lynch and that meeting on the tarmac with former president bill clinton. >> and the capper was, and i'm not picking on the attorney general, but her meeting with president clinton on that airplane was the capper for me. i said the department cannot, by itself, cred ibly end this. that was a h

we've heard everyone from rudy jewe giuliani to chris christie, and reporting that he was hearing thatames comey's days might be nimble and bill clinton got rid of the head in 1993 as well. >> this is chief executive and how he acts. he draws information from a lot of sources, he puts people in charge, so he has great confidence in. and when he loses confidence, he replaces them. just that simple. and look at it this way, trish. here we are talking about before the meeting next week. any republican on the hill who doesn't insist that compelled to testify is disservicing this country the party and the white house. that's what we should expect from the republicans on the hill. trish: but, look, as mark points out, it may be business as usual. this is just part of the deal. there's a new president in. this particular fbi director was under fire from literally everyone. i don't know how he had a friend anywhere, given that he had alienated both sides and many had felt, looked rather incompetent. scott, how do we move forward from here when you got chuck schumer doing what chuck schumer is

republican congressman from south carolina trey gowdy, former new york city mayor rudy giuliani, formergovernor chris christie and former milwaukee sheriff david clarke, former arkansas governor mike huckabee joining us now. do you have a favorite on that list? >> you know, i don't know, i don't think those are the names that are going to be the consideration for fbi director. my guess is it's somebody with a real fbi background, justice department background, and even though you had people like trey gowdy as well as rudy giuliani and chris christie, all u.s. attorneys, i'mot sure that they're going want to to put someone that political in the position because they got to get them through the senate, and that's a heavy lift given the atmosphere. david: ray kelly is not a politician, he almost ran for mayor of new york. what about him? he's 75. he's a little old. >> and i think that's going to be a factor against ray kelly. great guy, terrific police chief in new york, very innovative. this is a job that's going to require an extraordinary level of sort of futuring for the fbi. they've g

[ laughter ] now democrats are, of course, up in arms, but this moment poses a crucial test for the republican party as well. will they stand up and defend democratic institutions under threat from trump, or will they continue to choose party over country? you know, people like marco rubio, come on marco, you've been one of the most outspoken critics of russia and it's interference in this election. you are gonna strongly condemn this move, right? >> so -- i'm surprised. you know, i didn't see it coming, but it's a decision the president's made, and we'll go from here. >> seth: ugh, come on, marco! is marco rubio your name or is it the spell a wizard used to make your spine disappear? [ light laughter ] marco rubio! [ laughter and applause ] now, the comey firing has invited obvious comparisons to richard nixon's actions during watergate.

and giuliani turned his security computer into a -- security company. i would like to know if anybody watches what giuliani has done with his security. if he has any contracts with mr. trump's businesses, because they're buddies. and to see if there's connection there to russia between tillerson and him, their money really needs to be watched as well. and i'm thankful that you asked me to put my two cents worth in today. thank you very much. host: we are asking our viewers what you think the top news story was in this very busy week. democrats can call 202-748-8000. republicans, 202-748-8001. nd independents, 202-748-8002. you can also send us a video on twitter.com/cspanwj. and facebook as well. one of the big handles came yesterday when a appellate court ameld the restraining order when the president revised the travel ban. effort stutes a travel ban targeting six majority muslim countries making a final supreme court showdown more likely. it said in it's the u.s. court of appeals, the fourth circuit ruled 10-3 up to homeland the ower court's decision

if you recall rudy giuliani saying we have big surprises. big stuff coming. you have people like the former fbi deputy director saying here on fox, oh, my gosh, we have got something huge coming. agents are furious at jim comey. and now you have jim comey, caught in a situation where he is saying we will investigate these leaks to pat lahey last week. we will find out who is talking and telling people that something was coming 11 days before an american election. he says the election made him mildly nauseous and he was going to find those leaks. this is what we are into now, a backstabbing crossfire environment around the fbi, that could damage the credibility of the agency going forward. >> yes. if you think there are leaks now or were -- they are going to come forward now and give the side of the people of the inside of the fbi and their perceptions of things. i will say a couple of things. when asked and pressed about the unmasking investigation and whether they were going forward with that, there is not a real answer there because he said there were class

. >> roger stone is one of the folks along with rudy giuliani people in then cabinet trump's orbit that deeply distrusted james comey. i don't know if you saw this, he was on "today" show this morning and i want to play what he had to say. >> when was the last time you spoke to mr. trump? >> fairly recently, but not yesterday. >> would you be surprised if a white house official said it had been months? >> that would be incorrect. >> donald trump had said it had been a long time. >> i'm not sure how you define that. >> did it play a role in the president's decision? >> they played a role in how the president viewed comey over a long period of time and our reporting is that roger stone helped. but this dates back many months to even a campaign period. giuliani, stone and a third figure keith shealer who is the president's long-time chief body guard works as oval office operations. the three of them are among the men who had very negative feelings about comey and talked about comey to the candidate and now the president. >> there are some "time" magazine reporting that has come out. they s

tend to take a very hardo line position on broad range of issues and the perfect examples are rudy giuliani and the christies yi blue state republicans who have a supported donald trump even though they took a very hard line stance on many issues during campaign. >> mugambi jouet. here is how you can do it. 202 is the area code. our phone numbers are on the screen, and they are 748-8200 ie you live in the east and central time zones. 748-8201 for those in the mountain and pacific time zones. we will begin taking your callse just in a minute. it is that liberal america is closer to europe and other parto of the west that conservative america on many of its political social and moral valls. -- values. it is conservative america that's an exception in the modern western world. >> exactly. conservative america are outliers in the western world because of a very different -- the role of government and human rights. and in many ways, americaniberal liberals -- issues as universal health care, the right for abortion, gun control, et cetera . >> is there a connection on how to explain brexit and ma

by trump surrogates like giuliani. >> how long can he stay? a ten year term? >> yes, i believe that he's been in for about a little over five of those ten years if i'm not mistaken. but right now there's not people really calling for his head. so it would be an extraordinary move to actually remove him. and like mike said, the journey is still out on what the ultimate verdicts on comey will be, at least among the democrats and because we haven't seen yet what the trump investigation is going to yield. because lately they've been rather pleased with the moves comey is making to say on the record that he's an investigating trump. although clearly they would have preferred it if he spoke up about that eight months before he did. >> let me come back to that one point in terms of why he spoke out at all. not speak out, knowing whatgh he had and intended to do. his rational again was that he thought it would be cat strofng for the fbi if he didn't do it, correct? >> right. and the question is, really, the reality in which everybody was operating. comey's assessment

bi, let's say giuliani can we stop something ridiculous like that? thank you for your question and thanks for being focused on the fundamental question of taxes. i will say one more piece on that. thatealth care bill congress passed last week, which i heard a republican called it the death care bill because of how many people, tens of millions of people we would -- we believe would lose health insurance and not able to afford to see a doctor. that bill is very confusing to figure out why it is republican congress members would vote for a bill that makes the health care system worse. that goes back on trump's tweeted out promise to not cover -- to not cut medicaid and to cover everyone. hidden at the heart of the trumpcare bill is a massive tax cut for the wealthy. that is the one thing that is getting republicans united, the idea of what we think is paying back their campaign contributors with a massive tax cut, at a time when average american families could not pay a $400 bill that landed on their doorstep without going into debt or without selling

these are air giulianis. you can have them, my brother. >> never stops. the city never sleeps. >> while cell inspections are routine at all the jails and prisons profiled on "lockup," they were conducted with a military-like show of force at rikers. first, the emergency response team marches to the cell block in full riot gear, armed with high-voltage stun shields. they secure the area and provide an intimidating presence for any inmates who might be tempted to resist. then, a team of correctional officers moves into the cells to begin their inspections. >> the last time they came in here, went in everybody's cell and took everything out of their cell and threw it in a tin. after it was done, there was 48 people's property mixed up in the middle of the floor, personal clothes, legal work. what's important, they said, this is how we dish. >> while the inspections anger many inmates, they are conducted for safety. the primary goal is to uncover weapons. and they're often successful. >> contraband weapons, approximately 5 inches long, sharpened metal, found

rudy giuliani is on the defense he is a close ally of president trump. >> out you to weigh in here.is going to come to saudi arabia, he spoke to the turkish president, what is the shipping up to become? is the saudi arabia and visit going to be the climax? arabia isit to saudi the first part of the visit. it is remarkable. second of all, they do seem to be dealing. the ceos were going to be with president trump, we are expecting some deals with them being signed. they are to have the news that there is $14 billion from saudi's being invested in u.s. infrastructure. ande is a lot of money mutual investment at stake here. >> up next on the best of bloomberg markets, pakistan stock exchanges have been -- somebut something big investors are still skeptical. we spoke to the managing director of the karachi stock exchange. this is bloomberg. ♪ ♪ >> welcome back to the best of bloomberg markets: middle east. this is as overseas money is draining away, despite being one of the better performers over the last year, foreign investors have close to $200 million in 2017. take a listen. mark, i
