if they don't find gore's it's acceptable, are they taking the position that the vacancy should never be filled? at all? last year they were complaining about there being a vacancy for roughly a year. so, we'll see how all this develops and will be on judge gorsuch this week after next and will confirm him before we leave for the april recess. >> as the leaders pointed out the democrats tight as they may have not laid a glove on judge gorsuch. he's acquitted himself very well already, at the hearings and i think that the american people, have concluded that he is a mainstream well-qualified judge would make a great justice on the supreme court and when it comes to the democrats here at the senate you know the gold standard has always been the aba rating. that's what schumer and those have referred to in the past and they all now 12 democrats in the center and among those are schumer, feinstein and leahy who have voted for gore search when he was up for the tenth circuit about ten years ago. so, i hope the democrats will come to the conclusion that the american people have and that thi

al gore gives his take on the trump presidency. it's politics monday.ook ahead to the upcoming fight over the new health care plan. and running on ice. a marathon over a frozen siberian lake. but first, south sudan, the world's youngest country, founded in 2011, is in free- fall. three of its six years in existence have been spent fighting a civil war that has killed tens of thousands. now, the ravages of that war have led to a man-made famine: last week, the united nations reported that 7.5 million people there are in need of assistance from south sudan, john ray of independent television news brings us this report. and a warning-- viewers may find some of the images upsetting. >> reporter: of south sudan's many torments, hunger has become the greatest terror of all. it is a horror written in the flesh and bones of this little boy. it has drawn the strength from his limbs and the life from his eyes. his name is khamis, two years old; but weaker than a new born baby. his mother has lost one child to sickness, lost family to war, now starvation threatens

david ormsby gore, britain's ambassador in washington.queline kennedy. this is a love story in letters that was, for the last 30 years, locked in this box. a few weeks ago, the lock was forced, and it all came spilling out. as her majesty's ambassador at washington, he was an incredibly close adviser to kennedy. he was his confidant. david ormsby gore had known jack kennedy for many years. he was more than just an ambassador, he was a friend. the story of this glamorous golden couple and the tragedy of the assassination shook the world. these letters reveals the private story. but his heart was broken, and jackie left him for aristotle onassis. one letter from 1968 says it all. he writes about their plans for a marriage, a possible secret marriage. all that, he says, has become irrelevant trash. as for your photograph, he says, i weep when i look at it. why do such agonising things have to happen? we also have jackie kennedy's response to that letter. she writes back to him, painfully, one aristotle onassis's own stationery from his yacht

remember the chinese and al gore? the point was there someone inside the trump campaign that was working with them and did the president know about that and were they successful? and i think on those latter two questions we have no idea. >> no evidence. there's no evidence. i just heard chuck schumer suggest exactly what he did.

if they don't find gore's it's acceptable, are they taking the position that the vacancy should never be filled? at all? last year they were complaining about there being a vacancy for roughly a year. so, we'll see how all this develops and will be on judge gorsuch this week after next and will confirm him before we leave

were these senators able to pin judge gore gore in one direction or another today? >> i think there was one place, and this is interesting given your excerpt, where he did give an indication, in having said to senator feinstein that he wouldn't say anything about which opinions he agreed with or not, he then went out of his way several times to praise justice scalia's opinion in a case called united states against jones, about g.p.s. devices about cars. he said the principles of the fourth amendment don't change but technology does. what's interesting here, as senator klobuchar made clear, what else changes? because if judge gorsuch can say the fourth amendment carries through even though james madison didn't know about technology, what about the fact they didn't know gay people can have relationships the same way straight people. so what's the law? does the constitution prohibit the president of making xenophobic exclusion -- comments. i think that's the steak of what's going on in the hearing. >> woodruff: amy howe, what did you pick up from all of this? >> as mar

kennedy, obviously was assassinated in november 1963 and david ormsby gore in fact lost his wife, sohey went on holiday once or twice and clearly romance blossomed. there is a draft letter from david ormsby gore where he talked about plans for a secret marriage and they were obviously hatching these plans and discussing their potential future together and then she went and married aristotle onassis. here we are lucky enough to have a draft really of a letter he wrote to her, "why do such agonising things have to happen? i've tried for hours and hours to understand your explanation, and i suppose i do in a way, without agreeing with it. as for your photograph, i weep when i look at it." i think the letters are heartbreaking in a way. the most gut wrenching thing is she writes back to him, painfully on aristotle onassis' own stationery from his yacht, and says, "i'll always love you and we'll always have something special together." "you and i have shared so many lives and deaths and hopes and pains. we will share them forever and be forever bound together by them and be, i hope, as cl

crazy things through the congress, which by the way looks a lot like what they've done with judge gore search. go to the right wing interest groups, grab someone off the shelves and try to jam them through without proper consultation or awareness of the issue. >> just to reiterate, you can't govern from the hard right. president trump campaigned against both the democratic and republican establishments. when he came into office, he chose his appointments, including supreme court and governed from the hard right. even without democrats, he's having trouble doing that as trump care shows, he will have trouble constantly and less he moves to the middle. we are waiting for him to do it. >> thank you all. >> today in the senate, members debated the nomination of neil gorsuch to the supreme court. they also talked about senate rules on limiting debate and whether a 60 vote threshold should apply to supreme court nominations. we will hear first from majority leader mitch mcconnell and minority leader chuck schumer. >> let's go to another matterom since judge gorsuch was nominated to the supre

now, this fact would be appalling enough, but the other facts here are that judge gore gorsuch invaded many of the most pertinent and important questions during this hearing. he did so after the president who nominated him established a litmus test saying that he, his nominee would automatically overturn roe v wade, that he would strike down gun violence measures, he would be conservative, and, the president outsourced his selection process to the heritage foundation and two other similar hard right conservative groups that prepared lists for him, screened them, and advised him. the question is, who is behind these ads, because it is not only the judicial crisis network, and those groups, it is a network of conservative donors who are operating to buy american justice. let's be clear, president trump wasn't just consulting these outside groups. he was outsourcing the selection process, and we want to know who is providing the funds that, in effect are the critical resources to try to shape the outcome. if the american people and our colleagues have the sunlight shown on this money netw

when kushner met with gore cough he was ceo of kushner companies p. at the time the company was trying to find buzing in manhattan. >> the business administration was well known to the people he was doing some sort of business with. so that's where you get the issue of gray area and lines blurring between what somebody does in his or her private capacity as a business person whaen somebody is doing in their public capacity as an official or adviser to the most powerful man in the world. >> vev's bank strategy posting toity website, stating together with the government we will select the most promising growth areas in the economy. a kremlin spokesman says the russian government was notware of the meeting between kushner and gore cough. the senate of the intelligence committee richard burr tells cnn that jared kushner will likely testify under oath but privately to senators. republican senator susan collins says her committee needs to clarify whether kushner was acting as a member of the trump transition team or personal. >> this has been a long standin

employers into safety net providers for those who cannot work.he her children said that the judge gore sick opinion remove the human element from vacation. it did not bring justice. also during the hearing, judge gorsuch refuse to distance himself from extreme and bigoted views of one of his college pras professors, a man who he has publicly praised. overall, his record raises concern about what is confirmation would mean full the vulnerable and victimize. judge gorsuch was an aggressive defender of executive power when he worked at the justice to power during the bush administration. i offered to push legislation for the detainees, the legislation ultimately became a torture amendment which, despite a veto threat by president bush pass the senate in december 200 by 90 - 9 vote. judge gorsuch advocated the presence should issue a statement saying that it was essentially codifying torturect techniques like waterboarding. this is despite evidence from senator mccain and others that this amendment was intended to do the opposite, by outlineen cruel and human degrading treatment. judge gor

why not let judge gore gorsuch. >> we believe he does not belong on the bench. we also believe that there are, we believe there are republicans who are reluctant to change the rules, and we hope they won't do it. they are free actors, and so to assume they are going to change the rules is not actually correct, and if there were going to change the rules on this one, why wouldn't they change them on the next one "after words" anyway. >> and if i may,. >> i'll chime in on that because we are dealing with some history here. we are dealing with the history of 5 -4 decisions where all the republicans on the court posse up and ride out, and by 60 megs zero make decisions that help republicans at the polls and by 16 - 0 make decisions that helps corporations against humans. they have a track record of what happens when you let that fifth justice on the court so, this actually is the moment of decision. if they get five, off they go perhaps, and the failure of judge gorsuch to recognize that this pattern exists, that this pattern is a legitimate cause for concern, and h

the united states in particularfelt the international military tribunal trial against hermann goringra shot of a small sampling, and in order to really understand how a civilised country like germany could commit and tolerate the kind of atrocities that were committed, you should understand the position that doctors who perform medical experiments, the lawyers and judges that perverted the law, the ss murderers of course that did the killings, the industrialists that were working people to death. all of these were specific groups. so the united states said let us take a sampling from each of these groups to help us understand it. so i went to berlin with a team of about 50 people, scoured through all of the archives, miles of nazi documents, to gather the evidence to cover the broad spectrum of german society, which basically was responsible for the crimes. in previous interviews you described how in gathering witness testimonies you did resort to duress, for instance lining up villagers and threatening to shoot them if they lied. i mean, such methods now would amount to witness hara

gore case. think it was terribly destructive to constitutional norms, and we don't have to get into a discussion about whether there's an absolute dictate from the constitution to have a hearing, but the fact of the matter is hearings have been held, the senate has actually held hearings. the cost to judge garland is obviously great, but cost to the country was so much greater, and the statements by the republicans, and i think even, ed, when you say that it worked, i find that really, really troubling. it does really put, i think, in an even more clear fashion be how politicized the republicans made the court in that process. as you referred, this was the scalia seat. since when does a supreme court justice own a seat after he's passed? at which point do we say that the court these to have a new -- these of to have a new person -- need to have a new person replace the one who's passed? i wonder why when justice thurgood marshall left the cows court, clarence thomas was actually his replacement.

it is tension, rather than gore. is a very famous moment in alien that is much more revolting than anything in this. but when that happened, nobody had ever seen that done before. it has been referred to as a popcorn movie for very good reason. i enjoyed it, but it is not at all original. moving on to power rangers. if you have a naff 80's tv franchise, you just reboot it now. what you have is this rebooting, it is basically the breakfast club in a superhero movie. it addresses things like autism, lgbtiq issues, which is interesting given a huge amount of the target audience for power rangers are younger than 12. the absolute bottom age is eight. already today i have seen people asking if they can take their four —year—olds to see it. well, no. it's a weird film, it has a little bit of violence in it. they are power rangers, they kill people. it is less leering than transformers, less fun than real steel, it's too long and it makes no sense but it wasn't terrible. it wasjust kind of, 0k. that's what power rangers loo

because it's hard to find anything to criticize judge gore such oig about in terms of his record, his demeanor, his temperament and his qualifications. so it may be smarter for them, but i know they're not taking advice from me, to wait and play that hand with the next nomination when as you point out it really will change the balance of the court. this one really just maintains the status quo in filling the scalia vacancy. >> snorks we'enator, we'll be w. you'll have your vote probably next week if it passes the house this week? >> yes, ma'am, that's right. >> all right. we'll be watching. thank you, sir. >>> white house press secretary sean spicer saying the president was right to suggest house republicans who do not support the health care bill could find themselves in political hot water. >> i think there will be a price to be paid, but it will be with their own voters. and they will have to go back and explain to them why are they made a commitment to them. and then didn't follow through. >> joining me, republican congressman thomas massey from the great state of kentucky. he was

sure enough, last july, we learned that apollo and d metropolis was selling a special acquisition, gores group for $2.3 billion. the transaction itself was complicated, but you need to know that the deal required hostess to take on more debt, also giving gores almost $30 million more to buy shares, that means the share count is -- following the transaction, apollo metropolis was still part of the majority. finally they also set up a tax receivable agreement, i told you it's very complicated, which basically allows early investors, to monetize some of the tax benefits held by hostess after it's years of losing money. great for the private equity investors, the deal was approved on november 4, by the 7th, hostess brands was trading under twnk. in late november, the company uses it's newly public status to refinance much of the high interest debt at higher levels. the company posted yet another strong quarter, although management said that the growth could slow down to single digits later this year. it's not that expensive, trading 21 times it's earnings estimates. meanwhile hostess product

it is tension, rather than gore.amous moment in alien that is much more revolting than anything in this. but when that happened in alien, nobody had ever seen that done before. it's fine, it's disposable, it's what's referred to as a popcorn movie for very good reason. but i enjoyed it, but it is not at all original. moving on to power rangers. do they still exist? who knew? in today's marketplace, if you have a 70's or 80's naff tv franchise or toy thing you want to resurrect, you just reboot it for the big screen with a 12 certificate and a lot of cgi. the power ranger tv series which was cutting japanese with american footage, now what you have is this rebooting, it is basically the breakfast club as superhero movie. its main usp being that with the collection of young kids who are then going to become the power rangers, the film addresses things like autism, lg btiq issues, diversity, albeit in a very flimsy fashion but it has a modern edge. it has a 12a certificate which has caused great annoyance because a huge

i'm going to be a brief minute on the gore such hearings and then we'll talk about healthcare. now, as you all know judge gorsuch hearing is still going on. we'll have more to say on that later. i want to say one thing based on what i've seen so far. judge gorsuch looks like he's playing dodgeball with the senate judiciary committee. he is bent over backwards to avoid revealing anything, anything at all about his judicial philosophy. or the legal issues that concern the american people. there is no legally justifiable rationale for not answering the questions he was asked. he's hiding behind this. he simply wants to hide his views from the american people. okay? now let's go to care. if the house and senate are successful in passing from care and it's looking less likely that they are right now, the american people will remember who crippled the healthcare system in this country. when premiums start to go up, they'll know president trump and the republicans did it. when healthcare insurance doesn't cover what it used to, they'll know president trump did it. when seniors are cha
