graham: none. the only constitutional requirement that exists involving war is for congress to put the nation and declared state of war. the constitution does not require the president to get congressional approval to use military force. we had a declaration of war i handful of times in the history of the country. there is no constitutional requirement that the executive branch get approval of congress to use military force. there is a constitutional requirement that the executive branch cannot put the country in a legal state of war. to all my colleagues who think this president cannot act without your approval, you don't understand the way the constitution works. here is your authority and your power to do something about it. if you don't like what he is going to do in the future or what he is doing now, you can defund his operation. if you don't like what he is doing in the future, you need to get a resolution up to stop funding any actions inside of syria. that would be a constitutional check a

graham: yes. i want to applaud the president for taking action. necessary, andd, i hope it sends the right message not only to assign, but -- not only to a solid, -- not only to a son, not only to us on -- not only to assad, but to people around the world. his ability to kill people through conventional weapons has to be taken off the table in terms of air power. the next step to me would be, if andd goes back into the air drops bombs and kills babies in another way, i hope we would hit him again. my goal and senator mccain's goal is to ground the syrian air roccaand basically take in a fashion that will hold it, not relying on kurds. the bottom line is to get assad pushed out. the weight you push them out as you take his airpower off table, begin to train syrian opposition in a safe haven. the next step is a safe haven. we have to declare parts of syria say havens until the forcens and the assad air that if you come across this line, you will be shot down. with those, established humanitaria

billy graham on tv, doing a revival, how about billy graham hanging out with richard nixon. talk about that relationship in the beginning of a politicalization of evangelicalism? unbeaten >> >> there were democrats and republicans alike but he became very attached to richard nixon. long before he ran for president. so that was his downfall because he became too close bin and he changed his views to change to match nixon to defend the nixon administration bin so when the vietnam war and came to this terrible climax he was among those to be blamed and later for watergate. but he did not denounce early enough. >> i read your book vice saw billy graham as a foreshadowing is a novelistic for what happens after him. one person larger than life but by the late '70s you have been entire organized movement to make a marriage happen between conservative and fundamentalism and the republican party which we know as the christian right. like jerry falwell so talk about the birth of the christian right with its trajectory. >> it was preceded by the upsurge of fundamentalism in the south.

>> because lindsey graham can hold his own.od bless lindsey graham right now if you're a republican. i've traveled the middle east with lindsey graham. we've met with refugees at the syrian border and heads of state and kings. lindsey graham would sit across a president who is concerned about donald trump and say, don't worry about donald trump. presidents come and go. senators die in office. and that's his attitude. his attitude is to use the article 1 authority that the founders enjigsvisioned for the senate. and the house has blown its credibility between health care and the russia investigation and we know where the credibility of this administration sits right now. >> well, you being from the other side of the hill, though, on the house, you will not die in office necessarily or not most congress members do. when you look at it, would you be worried about donald trump sitting down with air force one? would you be worried about a twitter funder coming down upon you if you were a member of this freedom caucus, if you were in

graham: or anybody else. sharyl: that asks for that. sen. graham: and i can say about susan rice and ben rhodes, i have no idea what they did here. i'm not going to prejudge. but i do know during benghazi, which you're well aware of, that she started the storyline of a protest caused by a video. it was always a terrorist attack on day one. they manipulated the information, i think for political reasons. so, when it comes to susan rice and ben rhodes, verify, don't trust. sharyl: ben rhodes was president obama's deputy national security advisor. in an interview with msnbc earlier this month, susan rice said it wasn't unusual for her u.s. citizens caught in intel surveillance. but she said it was for context, not political reasons and that she, "didn't leak nothing to nobody." sharyl: coming up on "full measure." with tax day nearly here, we'll investigate how the government can legally empty your bank account when you've committed no crim sharyl: a new development in the story i first heard working six years ago. in the murder of border patro

unless they change the senate rules, which is what lindsey graham was referring to there.y only have two democrats. he was suggesting a simple majority could move that confirmation process along. how about this, half the time was focused on russia and much of the conversation of folks waiting in line was on russia. first i want to take you to west virginia where i was at democratic senator joe manchin's town hall. i've been in oklahoma, kansas, west virginia, michigan, much of what you hear from people is saying, hey, republican, we want to focus on the broader agenda of donald trump and the russia issue is not the most -- i want to play a sound bite from yesterday. >> first republican president i ever voted for in my life and i will vote for him again. he's one of the best presidents i've ever seen. he's for the working man. i'm a 100% joe manchin man. anybody is crazy to not vote for him. he's for us, just like donald trump. >> reporter: this isn't to suggest that the potential enormity of trump campaign connections to russia to minimize the potential enormity of it, but

>> yes, and god bless lindsey graham.ue is that the house of representatives and the senate are very different when it comes to matters such as this. and the founders of our country set it up specifically that way. it's very clear and has been for some time that people like john mccain, lindsey graham, put national security above partisan politics. i may disagree with a lot of their policies and their issues, but it's very clear now that if this bipartisanship about the process, about getting to the facts, holds true, the senate is going to be the ultimate decider and is going to provide the american people with the truth. >> what do you guys make of this request for immunity, and there's this thought that if they do that it's because we're waiting to hear about a bigger fish which would be the president or pence? >> i think it's standard procedure. if i were flynn's attorney, i'd say let's go ahead and get a blanket immunity. that's the first thing i would do is because everything is so volatile right now. >> so you don'

lindsey graham here said that to the crowd, he said, listen. in a republican state you may not necessarily have voted for me but i can tell you at least we're going to legally go through this process and make sure the fbi and at least the senate intelligence committee do their full and thorough investigation. >> it seems as if the people there really fired up and figuring out what's going on within the trump administration in the last 100 days or so of the presidency. vaughn hillyard, thank you for joining us. >>> a new poll shows more than half the nation wants an independent investigation of the trump campaign's possible ties to russia and the election. 52% support the outside probe. the fate of michael flynn's testimony, it remains uncertain. his demand for immunity in exchange for talking was rejected by the senate intelligence committee. president trump is backing flynn's bid for protection in what he calls a, quote, witch hunt but he refused to elaborate friday when pressed by a reporter. >> were you trying to tell the justice department

that's what we are doing and 1983 cases and what graham says you have to o. from his perspective -- >> can't he the neck nick -- technicality of the knock and a nouns. assume this is a separate house so it required a nock and announce, nothing about the close -- disclosure. then would you recognize that they had a good 1983 case? >> they would have a much better 1983 case, your honor. >> much better or -- >> there would still be a discussion to be had about whether, when an officer shows up in in full uniform, someone should expect to understand that he is an officer, but let's just go broaden that to justice by breyers question bout looking at this holistically. the court said you don't look it's holistically. hudson says you break up the warrant requirement from the knock and announce requirement. that's what this court did and what theirs court should do in a liability case. but holistically, put yourself nets shoes of the deputies which is what 1983 says and graham says, we're supposed to do you're not looking to hurt anyone. you're doing your job, which

host: joining us is tim graham from the media research center. to discuss their recent report examining media coverage of president trump and its biases. thank you for joining us today. by telling our viewers with the media research center is. ourt: we are celebrating 30th year this year. our job is to research the kind of politics one television first and to some degree in the print press. we record television programs weost 24 hours a day, and have a staff that watches those, transcribes those, makes videos of those programs, and studies them over time to see what the tone of coverage is. host: what is news busters? guest: it is our blog that was started in 2005. we are trying to bring this research, and we find it as quickly as possible while it is still cogent, and we are trying to give examples of what happened today or what happened last night on the news that we find worth noting. host: and according to this report by the media research center, it says that media has been biased against president trump in its coverage. it says when it look

it takes stepping into the shoes, the situation -- >> why is it that every graham case we look at, all of the car chase cases, every single one of them we, when we're talking about the situation facing the officer, we look at everything the officer and the victim did that led up to the moment of confrontation because all of the facts that you point to as the police officer's knowledge of the victim, are facts that yourly are intertwined with what led up to the incident. you look the car chase you're looking at a person who, over the extended period of time, has driven a car crazily, has put other people at risk, has swerved and missed other cars, done a series of things that the officers aware of, because he participated in the chase, and the moment that he is looking at what the victim -- what the defendant is doing, he is saying, he drove the car and almost hit another car. he is pointing the car at me. he is going to hit me. and you're looking at both sighs of the equation. you're not ranchchesting it up on one site. >> year right you're looking at all of the rights and circumstance

senator graham called that outrageous. talk to me about your reaction, your takeaway from his comments. >> there's two things to watch here. one is the residual anger over what happened with merrick garland and the democrats are more at risk to losing primaries than they are to hold off on something that will inevitably get triggered the next go around. but what senate graham said is exactly correct. if they end up pulling the nuclear option on this, it does seem to wipe out those last embers of bipartisan that are not there very much to begin with. >> but in the senator more than anywhere else, right? >> and in the senate you've seen bits and pieces of it, like in this sort of pledge on the intel committee to get to the bottom of it or the notion that the senate would be kind of the deciding factor on a real health care bill that could actually pass. but when it comes to nominees, this ship seems to have already sailed. >> i want to get your take on this but first, becau i want to mark explain why this is such a big deal.

and that you just heard lindsey dw graham say that wasn't the case.had a briefing by the white house on friday. they presented us with no plan. we don't know if it is limited or whether there is more. when we asked about the legal authorization, they said they weren't prepared to discuss that. but they hoped to discuss it in the coming days. again, our system is we don't want a president, any president, just being able to start a war or launch missiles whenever they want. there has to be congressional approval. >> you heard senator graham, he outlined what he would like to see -- what actions are taken going forward. and described sending maybe 5,000 troops and i asked him, okay, do you need congressional authorization for that? he said no. let me ask you this question. if an authorization is on the floor of the senate, that describes what senator graham wants to do, sending in a limited number of troops to basically push the momentum back against assad again. would you support something like that? >> you know, lindsey and i agree the atrocities are h

. >> frequent republican critic of president trump, senator lindsey graham. >> it was a wonderful signal to send but it's got to be followed up. >> reporter: the former vice president nominee, senator tim kaine. >> to do this without congress, without a vote, i think is a clear violation of the law. >> reporter:nd senator bernie sanders who warns that this atta could lead to a military quagmire. >>> plus, power struggle at the white house. if chief strategist steve bannon leaves, does president trump's populist nationalist agenda leave with him? joining me for inside an analysis are david brooks, columnist for the "new york times." danielle pletka, rich lowry of the national review and helene cooper. welcome this sunday morning. it's "meet the press." good sunday morning. this breaking news before we get to the serious story. there were attacks on two egyptian christian churches this morning. a bomb exploded in a church packed with palm sunday worshippers north of cairo. it killed more than two dozen people, wounding scores of others, according to health officials. hours later a suicide

lindsey graham wrapped up a town hall recently. vaughn is joining me. what are you hearing, vaughn?e awere mostly democrats. a handful of republicans who expressed ire and lindsey graham, particularly over the supreme court. lindsey graham said that he's willing to use a nuclear option which would not require 60-vote filibuster in order to move the confirmation process of neil gorsuch ahead for the confirmation to the u.s. supreme court. another issue that was heard was the affordable care act which, in talking to the democrats in the crowd, gave a head nod to lindsey graham when he believed the only path forward would be working for democrats. another issue in which he crossed donald trump was other on syria. he said that he does not believe that the new stance from the trump administration echoed by rex tillerson and nikki haley this week, there would be focusing on not pushing assad out of the government and instead pushing the military effort on isis. he said he pushed it back and assad needs to be removed. but on the issue of russia, if we could use more hunky dory. ever since

sotomayor: every graham chase every graham case we look at how we are talking about the situation facing the officer, we look at everything the officer and the victim did that led up to the moment of confrontation because all of the facts that you point to as the police officers knowledge of the victim artifacts that usually are intertwined with what led up to the incident. if you look at a car chase, you are looking at a person who, over an extended period of time, , buteen a car crazily other people at risk, done a series of things that the officers are aware of because he produced debated in the chase. and at the moment he is looking at what the victim -- what the defendant is doing, he is saying, he drove the car and almost hit another car. he is pointing the car at me, he is going to hit me. but you are looking at both sides of that equation. you are not ratcheting it up on one side. >> you're right that you're looking at all the facts and oncumstances, but those whether the use of force is reasonable. one of the car chase cases the court addressed, they said the police officer was

you heard lindsey graham just say that was not the case. we had a briefing on friday and they presented us with no plan. we don't know if it is limited or if there is more. when we asked about the legal authorization, they said they were not prepared to discussion that but they will in the coming days. we don't want a president, any president, to just be able to start a war or launch missiles when they want. there has to be congressional approval. >> you heard senator graham outline what he would like to see, what actions are taken going forward. and i said do you need congressional authorization for that and he says no. if an authorization is on the floor of the senate, sending in a limited number of troops to push the momentum back, would you support something like that? >> you know, we agree these atrocities are horrible, but sheer where we're different. he said the trump administration is aiming for regime change. if assad is doing things wrong, violating international treaties with an authorization we can try to deter him for doing it,

lindsey graham, talk about rowdy there.was quite the bit town hall, shall we say, in his home state of south carolina. he faced all those questions about michael flynn. here's what lindsey graham had to say. >> okay, let's look at flynn. the working for turkey. i don't know how they missed that. so that's something we'll look at, right? manafo manafort, let's take a look at him. let's see what kind of business dealings he has. >> robert, do you think we're going to see republicans distances themselves from the administration and the president? the longer these kinds of questions continue, is that what we're seeing here? >> i think it depends on the state and the polling data. the reality is that a lot of republicans are scared to death that they're going to be primaried to the right come 2018 if in fact they're up for re-election, particularly in the house. there's two things here i think are very important. one, lindsey graham has always been a critic of the president. he's a straight shooter down the line. he was that wit

here's lindsey graham.e a listen to this. >> i think he was repulsed as a human being by what assad was capable of doing. the children really moved him and all i can say about this president, he has the instincts of ronald reagan in many ways. he's an emotional man, but he's also a very smart man. i think he feels that he did the right thing by those children. >> the instincts of ronald reagan. what's graham's angle here? >> well, graham is, along with john mccain and tom cotton and marco rubio and some of these other senators who were praising donald trump for this action from the hawkish wing of the party and they want to see a harder line taken against assad, but they're never going to be satisfied because donald trump is not, as far as i can tell or foresee at this moment, going to push as hard as they would like him to. i mean there was a debate inside this administration before the strike about really what good would it do. there's a recognition, and steve bannon is a part of this wing in the administ

even though these use of force was reasonable under graham, we will hold you liable for it. j. roberts: i want to put this discussion so far in the right framework. we are talking about the second question, right? none of this seems to me to involve the provocation rule in the ninth circuit, at least the question about did they get a , warrant? how do you understand the ninth circuit provocation rule in distinction to what we have been talking about in terms of proximate cause? and things like that. >> the provocation rule takes, under the ninth circuit precedent, a reasonable use of force and games is unreasonable because the police made an earlier constitutional mistake. we think that is flatly wrong. j. roberts: is the label what is wrong? i would think provocation is something fairly immediate, something that causes the pulling of the gun by the victim. or something like that. i don't think of it as provocation, that you should have gotten a search warrant earlier in the day, and that led to this. >> the thing that is wrong is what the ninth circuit is doing, saying the pol

he said criticised for that by mr graham and mr mccain.to the un saying think about the negative consequences but a former intelligence operative said just now that he wouldn't expect the russian response to this. the russians would have had a heads up to it. he wouldn't expect a syrian response as such, but an arabian response did seem likely, quite possibly through proxies, possibly in iraq —— iranian response. that is possible, and even if they will was a response, whether it would be telegraphed as such is not entirely clear. but given the limited nature of the strike i think neither the russians nor the syrians would see any value in retaliating in that sense. i think there will be more of a question what this does to political relations with the russians, or whether, you know, if this was a warning, if it is seen as america putting its foot down, whether there will be results. i mean, that has been the argument, hasn't it, from people who urged president obama to take that step. he said this will only escalate the situation. so this

senator graham says he's alsoed in michael flynn. this particular issue, sally yates had said her concern was that he might be blackmailable by russia because of things he does. things he did in the past. we're not sure what that is. and senator graham wants to know exactly why that is. he wants to pursue it through his subcommittee as well. >> as you know, based on what sally yates told the white house, he event ually, flynn, ws dismissed by the president after only a month or so on the job. thanks for your reporting. lots of developments to discuss with our panel. we have our cnn military analyst retired air force colonel scedrc leighton. policy and business reporter. you worked with general flynn on the joint staff back in 2008, 2009. so what's your reaction to the news that he may have not followed the law when he was seeking security clearances to become the president's national security adviser and paerappare did not notify anyone at the time those security clearances that he received about $45,000 from r.t, russian television?

i mean in other words graham maybe is sort of the instigator here because graham doesn't want to see these strikes that we saw the other night just on this one airfield to be the end of the story. he thinks there should be a much deeper american involvement in syria, that there should be a coordinated campaign to try to push assad out and hold him accountable for what he's done there. despite what trump did on thursday night, there's really -- there doesn't seem to be any appetite in this administration for at this point pressing further down that line. so i see definitely the ultimate cull pa ability here is assad but i see graham as a little bit of a provocateur making sure this gets trump's pride involved. >> final question in a couple of se sentences, can you sum up what rex tillerson would like to get out of russia tomorrow? >> think he would like to get the russians to say they're going to pull bac support of assad, we realize the use of nerve gas is something we can't stand now, and we understand the united states have some lines you have drawn and you've come in and are willi

you have lindsey graham, you have senator graham, you have john mccain, a lot of people saying, you knowe with this decision. in some ways it seems like a 1 yan f -- 180 for them. what do we make of that? >> this is something for john mccain and lindsey graham, their foreign policy, they are harsh, harsh critics of obama's nonintervention in syria, so so it shows this is a high priority for them. and that trump, you know, is someone who can defy expectations. there's a very good chance incomes week lindsey graham and john mccain will hammer him on his russia ties or something else. but this syria air strike has been popular with large parts of the establishment in both parties. >> have to live it there. thank you for your time today. >> thanks for having us. >>> the nation's improving job picture over the first three months of the year. how much president does president trump deserve and will continue? so much lobster, so little time. at red lobster's lobsterfest any of these 9 lobster dishes could be yours. so don't resist delicious new lobster mix and match or lobsterfest surf and turf

graham? >> bill: you take out syrians air power so they can't deliver gas anymore. it's a one-day sortie, and you knock out their air force. >> lindsey graham is the guy along with senator mccain who wanted to go to cairo to represent the muslim brotherhood interest in the government. >> bill: what would be wrong with donald trump using airpower in syria? because is ineffective. russia has tons of air power. >> bill: he only has a small air force that could be destroyed fairly easily. a the downside is use the military action against an independent country. >> i want russia to use its country -- power against assad and remove him from office. >> bill: xi jinping. the chinese leader. he is coming to mar-a-lago. i'd hope he doesn't get sunburned because it's very hot and warm down there. no golf. unlike the japanese president. trump says it's going to be a difficult meeting. number one is he wants xi jinping to take care of north korea. he wants the regime change. there's no way that this guy i

and announced a graham and other types of social media platforms.one this is because we see an increase in the amount of rhetoric and video postings on things like facebook where people are talking about their crimes believe it or not before the crimes even occur. we look at this guy from cleveland, ohio the other day and it listed several video messages on facebook talking about his dislike for this wife and mother in other people like that. he actually talked about the killing before he did the killing. we have to find a way to quickly identify these individuals, get the information to the police so they can get involved. >> there are technology company, not a media company. we are looking at streaming video, faced the class, services from other come news. are they a media company and should they think like that? >> absolutely. pot farms such as youtube, if you want to post something on youtube and its copyrighted wanted to let you know that right away. how come we can't use the same technology in facebook? if you look at this guy from fresno, cal

and i'm going to be excited work wig fletcher cox and graham. they're going to push me every day to get better. i'm very excite the to learn from them. pick their brains. >> reporter: he says he'll be hard worker he thanked philadelphia fans for their warm response tonight when he was pick derek barnett the newest philadelphia eagle we're staning by now to hear from haason reddick of temple he'll be in in just a couple of moments. that's wrap for right knowledge zen it to chris o'connell on the parkway. >> reporter: ron, day one of the 2017 nfl draft is now in the books and judging by all the crowd, ron, you saw them down here. it was a resounding success. that was until the philadelphia eagles pick their first draft pick derek barnett of tennessee. people i guess fans you can call it luke warm reaction from eagles fans. [ applause ] >> e-a-g-l-e-s! >> reporter: reception at best was luke warm. eagles fans made their first selection some say they were disappoint the birds didn't pick up an offensive player. actually as a matter of fact, there we

lindsey graham, senator graham had in essence is rephrasing what president nixon called the mad man theory and president trump has said virtually the same thing in terms of saying he wants to be unpredictable. president nixon's theory was always make them fear what the american president can or cannot do or will do and that he's unpredictable. that had great results for president nixon in terms of his relationships with china. the soviet union and ending the war in vietnam. unpredict ab unpredictability is good if it's deliberate. the bottom line here is we're all trying to figure out did these strikes work. if the goal was to send a message, it didn't work because nobody understands the message. if the goal was to degrade serious capability, it didn't work because we didn't degrade the capability. if the goal was just to deter them from using chemical weapons, we just don't know yet and we'll have to wait and see. >> if you'll recall president obama and national security adviser suz advis adviser. >> at some point we're going to have to stop using president obama's administration as a pun

>> okay, so, david, lindsey graham never minces wrorords. but your thoughts on that?did president trump change perhaps a global view of him because of what he's done? >> i think michael is on to something in that we really don't know if the president has transformed himself to a sort of quasi isolationist america-first foreign policy president to a more traditional reaganite republican foreign policy president. we're going to have to see how he handles the middle east and asl as asia, et cetera, going forward. what i can tell you is that republicans on the hill, including lindsey graham that i spoke to on friday, felt very reassured that the syria action means that trump is abandoning a lot of what he campaigned on from a foreign policy perspective. they really appreciated the fact that he took a leadership role in the middle east for the united states, and that he put russia on notice that if they were going to be complicit with bashar al assad and his use of chemical weapons, there were going to be consequences. one of the things that a lot of lawmakers were really

graham rushed him to the bathroom to clean him up.she came back that stranger was gone. >> he left? she is like yeah honey he left. i was like oh my god. i didn't get to tell him thank you. nothing. and then you know, she said the people are here for a reason, you know, not to worry about it too much that he knew what he did. but still. you know, that is my son. he didn't find my wallet, but he saved my son's life. >> reporter: graham shared her story on facebook where it has been shared over a thousand times. she just wants an opportunity to thank him. and at least offer to pay for his dry cleaning. >> she said she is going to learn cpr and thinks a lot of other people should do the same thing. the basic first aid method. >> a good reminder for all of us. >> absolutely. >> that's it, we're done. [ laughter ] maybe some sprinkles tomorrow morning, get ready for that. >> thank you mark. >> thanks, mark. >>> have a great day. we'll see you tomorrow. >> good night everybody. >>> after so many years. >> one of the best to never win a majo

graham graham, bbc news, strasbourg.utive committee, will review ken livingstone's status in the party after his comments about hitler and zionism and his suspension for another year. the labour leader has issued a statement. jeremy corbyn said: well, this afternoon mr livingstone himself gave us his response. the simple fact is this. i've been suspended for 11 months. the huge investigation by the labour party. three days of hearings come in 20 hours and at the end of it, i suspect the reason i wasn't expelled from the labour party was that the labour party's from the labour party was that the labour pa rty‘s barrister was from the labour party was that the labour party's barrister was saying ina labour party's barrister was saying in a private session when they decided on their verdict, if you expel ken livingstone, it will go forjudicial review. a britishjudge is not going to say it is wrong to state historical truth. earlier i spoke tojenny manson, a labour party member who isjewish, and gave evidence at mr livingsto

the graham taylor trophy will become an annual fixture between watford and any one of taylor's formerf britain's davis cup quarterfinal tomorrow against france's lucas pouille. edmund helped britain to the last eight by winning his second singles in the tie against canada in february. he takes on pouille who reached the quarterfinals of wimbledon last year. da n eva ns who is british number one for the tie in the absence of andy murray will face jeremy chardy in the reverse singles. there's coverage of the tie in rouen across the bbc. we area we are a tough team and will come pete very hard and it is possible. jeremy chardy plays well on clay. it is his favourite surface. because of the withdrawals, it's led to it being perhaps a little bit closer than people thought.
