i'm pleased to have graham allison. welcome. graham: thank you for having me.harlie: when did you first decide this was a subject that needed attention? ago,m: probably a decade henry kissinger, my old professor at harvard, and i was writing a book which i published three, four years ago. these are i think two strategic lights of our lifetime. about thereminding me soviet union and nuclear weapons, think about china. i started studying china about 10 years ago and five years i -- five years ago i stumbled on this idea. when a rising power threatens to displace a ruling power, bad things happen. and that as a lens helps you look through the daily noise and news to see a primary dynamic here and helps us recognize the dangers that are inherent in such a situation. charlie: it is as timely as today. this is "the financial times" from today. there is a picture of xi jinping. it says china's president makes his way to the podium in the great hall of the people in beijing to deliver an hour-long speech that warned that china's neighbors that the country would not tol

>> senator graham: let me say this, i'm glad they don't like me. i'm glad they believe that lindsey graham is not different. it would bother me a lot if they did. if i were president of the united states and these people showed sympathy toward me and my agenda it would bother me and i would urge the president to dissuade them of the fact that he sympathetic to their cause. their cause is hate, it is on american, they are domestic terrorists and we need more from our president. >> chris: you have any thought as to why he didn't do that yesterday? >> senator graham: it's up to him to correct the record here, not me. i know they don't consider me their friend and i think the president can be clear when he wants to be, he needs to be clear here. >> chris: let's turn to north korea, how close are we to a military confrontation? there has been no movement of troops toward south korea or even the region, there's been no evacuation of americans from south korea, so is this all just talk? >> senator graham: i don't think military action is imminent but we a

. >> well, lindsey graham already spoke out on the "today" show saying this is really damaging, that in contributes to the impression that bob mueller will have to look at, that there was an attempt to cover up or mislead. we don't know how winning the president was. what do you think the impact of this is, if it in fact as reported the president was part of this misleading story, this misleading account of that russia meeting. >> if that proves to be true, and i think senator graham wouldn't say it without some strong indication that in fact it is true, and that he wrote -- he rewrote a statement to obfuscate the purpose, the real purpose of the meeting, that is a problem. now, we'll have to wait and see. i have no clue what he said. but i do know this, andrea, i wish we could get away from these things. from my position, i see what is happening in the rest of the world. and i have deep concern about our inability to focus on real problems and real problem solving. >> and before you can get away and look at russia and north korea and all the other threats, which we're all really con

graham: one last thing. general nicholson is not going to be able to win in afghanistan under the current construct. the rules of engagement have to change. it doesn't matter what general is in charge if you don't have the capability to win so i just really am upset to hear that this is general nicholson's problem when it really is a structure problem and attitude problem and as bob said, no white house can function this way. we need order out of chaos and start firing some people would be the right signals. [inaudible question] sen. corker: i haven't seen the transcripts. so you guys are sharing with me constantly things i don't know. [laughter] so i will respond to that question once i actually read the transcripts. let me say this caveat. last time i was in afghanistan, i don't know if you realize this, but president obama had a caveat that said we could not fire on al-qaeda. do you understand that? i mean, the policies that we have had in place in afghanistan are ludicrous. we could not take actions agai

eastern europe president trump is willing to sign sanctions against russia into law and senator lindsey graham says war with north korea is an option as the united states military tests the bad system in south korea. and the opioid epidemic reaches epic proportions in the united states as the report indicates americans are too drugged to work i'm ed schultz reporting tonight from washington d.c. you're watching our team america. good evening friends we start tonight with us russian relations the last six months have produced no new results after a much anticipated change with the election of donald trump the administration is being dogged by three investigations a mainstream media fixated on trump's failure and a growing anti russia sentiment on capitol hill earlier today u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson said the relationship between the two countries is under stress no one knows what the end game is going to be one thing is for sure the environment for the president to strike a better relationship with russia seems to be fading by the day. last week's vote in the u.s. senate to levy sanc

and i said, "fund graham windham."ow, two years later, $250,000 lab that hewlett-packard -- >> they built a $250,000 lab? >> yes, in the school, the graham windham school in westchester for 300 kids being served by graham windham. so it's all the unintended good consequences of "hamilton" and the relationship "hamilton" has established. "indecent" tells the true for of the broadway debut of ""god of vengence," and the troupe of actors who risked their careers to perform it. i was joined by richard topol, and rebecca taichman. >> the story of the play is one that kind of calls out to for courage and speak out in times of hatred, and in times of real sort of danger and creating art against all odds. as you see in "indecent" the odds keep increasing and they keep telling their story over and over and over again. you know, it comes to new york at a time of enormous immigration reform, a real cutdown on immigrants in the u.s. you know, it was a pretty audacious move, and it's a real-- i think the play calls out as a reminde

obviously for lindsey graham it's not. the praise from white supremacists is what's so alarming from these republicans. some of my colleagues at wall street journal wrote a piece about right-wing movement and white nationalist is quoted saying trump has an implicit sense of white identity. maybe he doesn't realize it but is instinctually implying it. those are the comments rocking the republican party right now. none of them are out defending the president at this point. >> that's also true. >> they stuck with him through his decision to pull out of the paris climate accord. they distanced themselves when president trump tweeted about transgender in the military. but this is like radio silence. and you also have republicans coming out against him. i think more importantly than their words, however, is their actions. over the course of the past few months, congress has limited its power, proposed bills, passed bills to reign him in, prevent him from firing more. not only are they silent but they're limiting his power, which

senator graham came out yesterday about this. bigger number are those who are remaining silent. we contacted all 52 republican gop people, invited them on the show -- >> senators all of them. >> nothing. they didn't want to do it, even though the ceos have come out -- the irony that ceo have come out as the first line of moral rectitude. karoun demirjian, the president seems content to say i stand by my words and it's just the media that's coming after me. that's demonstrab strabbly falst we have seen a shyness to come out and exert leadership. >> those who have come out and call the president by name haven't been shy about it at all and they say there's a moral compulsion for everybody to do the same. you have not seen the rest of the party in droves do it. many made statements about where they stand generally about racism, bigotry, about the groups, shied away from using the president's name and those who haven't weighed in at all. i don't think it's that ironic that ceos would be the first line of people to come out about this

that from republican senator lindsey graham. many republicans are having a hard time calling the president out by name. lindsey graham did just that just now. we will get to that. much more of that in just a moment. i do want to continue to shine a light this hour on the life and death of heather heyer. we are outside the memorial service right now. what are you hearing and seeing? what's going on there? >> reporter: well, kate, the paramount theater where the service will be held is now full with people coming here, being sent to an overflow area. governor terry mcauliffe is inside, senator tim kaine as well as residents of charlottesville and we just received a copy of the program from rosa flores. we learned we will hear from both of heather's parents, her grandfather, two cousins, the man who hired her to work with the miller law group here in charlottesville as well as the reverend harold behr. >> if he was at all concerned about not only her but the two troopers who lost their life as a result of that group coming here, if

senator graham's remarks don't help the situation. >> what senator graham is says is that a host of those folks are going to die. that's a message we do not have to remind the south koreans of. they know. that. >> dianne feinstein who is on the intelligence committee told msnbc there's more to the danger than senator graham seems to realize. >> lindsey graham should get a classified briefing like the ones i have had and sit down with secretary mattis. >> the press secretary issued a dire warning about armed conflict. >> it will be a war more serious in terms of human suffering since 1953. it will involve the massive shelling of an ally's capital which is one of the most densely packed cities on earth. it would be a serious -- it would be a catastrophic war. >> kim jong-un has a million man army and bolstered his military near the dmz. much of the forces are in underground bunkers ready to fire on seoul at first withiff an attack by the u.s. >> they could cause a lot of damage. >> there are about 28,000 u.s. troops in the region. the u.s. and south korea would win that war. but tens of tho

you're talking about graham being central to getting stuff done or flake.w what he's talking about flake is a non-factor. does he not understand how the united states senate wos works? he just lost the health care bill with one vote. each senator gets one vote. >> he's gotten to this point of being personally destructive as well as being destructive to the party is he's taking on the leader of republicans, he lost health care and he has one big area left which is tax reform which people expected him to come through on. >> i wonder what this means about general kelly. again, i don't mean to ascribe blame. he's chief of staff, not president of the united states. the whole hope would be that he'd come in and the respect that the president had for him and he would be able to enforce discipline. we haven't seen it. up next, we'll talk to the one republican lawmaker willing to come on the show today to discuss the president's response to charlottesville. what does he think of the president going all in against all opponents next. and life's beautiful moments.ns g

[laughter] he turned it into a scandalous thing. it could have been that he was sitting on the edge of the bed. he didn't say he was saw the -- that he saw them having sexual intercourse. i don't know what it was. anyway they liked scandal back in those days. anyway, it was such a scandalous deal that the springfield newspapers put out a special edition. kind of a pamphlet having to do with nothing bu

jeff flake and lindsey graham wrote, the president called flake toxic and weak and lindsey graham lied about his comments and never said there was a moral equivalency. here is jeff zeleny in new jersey where the president jumped squarely this morning into identity politics. >> reporter: good morning, john. the president jumped squarely into identity politics. this is not by accident. this is by repeat of a play from the trump play book that's worked fairly well for him. i am thinking back to several points during the campaign where he is using a controversy here. there is a big controversy this week and he is trying to, you know, shift the focus a little bit, turn it away from his words to white identity politics. many in this country agree removing the statues from cities across the country is a bridge too far. to me, by the president going after this and sort of shifting the conversation here, he is trying to normalize, in some respects what he said earlier this week, but to, you know, make the point that the left is being hysterical about this. john, a different moment in this, a bi

lindsey graham was outspoken in criticizing donald trump as a candidate last year. when we're looking for signs right now of senior republicans turning on trump in public, i think you have to look past lindsey graham and jeff flake. you have to look at the people silent last year redskins they speaking up now. that would be a key difference. i think what graham is getting at is not so much the response of republicans and e lkted officials to this story and to the possible implications of this story, it's about what is mueller, what is the prosecutor, what is the special counsel looking at this, what is his reaction? if he sees an inconsistency, if he sees a potential for a lie, does he get curious and start asking questions? i think donald trump has to worry more about bob mueller asking questions than lindsey dpram asking questions. >> alex, in addition to talking about donald trump and that "washington post" story, lindsey graham did talk about robert mueller and democrats, not just republican, taking action to fire robert mueller. >> i think republicans have been

firing back at lindsay graham on twitter. after the south carolina senator accused of president of equating white supremacists with those who were in charlottesville to protesting him. publicity seeking lindsay graham falsely stated that i said there is a moral equivalency between the kkk, neo-nazi's, and white supremacists and people like miss heyer, such a disgusting lie. he just can't forget his election trouncing. the people of south carolina will remember. and the president tweeting this after graham issued this statement. president trump took a step backward by again suggesting that there is moral equivalency between the white supremacists, neo-nazi, and kkk members and people like heyer. let's begin our political panel. i think you both for joining us. kristin, i'll start with you, is that a fair assessment from lindsay graham? >> i think lindsay graham is not wrong for thinking that donald trump's statements on tuesday it really set us backwards. the statement that he made on monday came too late, but he should have j

lindsey graham wants to change that. lindsey graham's no friend of the president. don't be fooled. >> sandra: what we just heard from jeff session. don't do it, as far as addressing those leakers. i'll leave it there. is that all right. >> it's a working 17 day what do you call it, vacation. i want him to be rested. house is out six weeks. i vote for a 50 week vacation for both of those. always good to see you. >> >> sandra: congress woman debbie wasserman schultz defending her decision to keep an i.t. employee on the rolls for months. plus the governor of west virginia joining the republican party. he's not alone. so what can democrats do to win back voters? a panel is on deck to discuss this next. >> he's one of many democrats out there who are sick and tired of a leftist party that's gone so far that you don't welcome pro lifers, pro second amendments. you want to show more respect for military veterans, national security. hey! this is lloyd. to prove to you that the better choice for him is aleve. he's agreed to give it up. ok, but i have 30 acres to cover by s

they are valued employees in a number of states, not just south carolina for lindsey graham.'re talking about texas, california, new york as well, and florida, exactly. so, also another critical point to mention is the aging population. i mean, that is a critical point when you're talking about economic growth. we're starting to see a bit of a trend toward an aging population in the u.s. when you have more immigrants come into the country that balances it out. i think what the president was actually trying to do was shift the focus on something else he signed today and the sanctions on the russia bill that he wanted to deflect away from, and focus on this instead. >> you heard, david, the president's senior policy advisor stephen miller at that contentious briefing today. he said the bill was also designed to help african-americans, hispanic, the hispanic community, unemployed workers because if you restrict lower level, let's say, immigrants from coming to the united states, maybe the unemployment numbers would go down for those communities. >> right. so, even though only 8%

republican senator lindsey graham. it is a "fox news sunday" exclusive.plus the president speaks about the violence in charlottesville. details to call the white supremacist. >> we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of bigotry and violence on many sites. >> will ask our sunday panel whether the president's comments went far enough. all right now on "fox news sunday". hello again from fox news in washington. a war of words between the president and north korea keeps escalating. with growing concern it will become a military confrontation. in a few minutes we will talk with mike pompeo, director of the cia about the situation on the north korea peninsula. but the president is dealing with another controversy. a white nationalist rally in charlottesville turned violent when a car ran into capture protesters killing one and injuring dozens. a number of republican leaders are criticizing the president for failing to condemn the white supremacist. kristin fisher is covering the president as he continues his time in new jersey. >> it

guess what, lindsey graham responded moments ago. we have that statement from lindsey graham. he says in part because of the manner in which you have handled the charlottesville tragedy you are now receiving praise from some of the most racist and hate-filled individuals and groups in our country. for sake of our nation, as our president, please fix this. so strong words back and forth. the president taking on business leaders and republicans. the "usa today" out with this, calling on congress not just to criticize the president but censure him. this is the "usa today" editorial reading the political chasm between democrats and republicans may be wider than ever but when it comes to ideologies of hate and racism, the nation's leaders need to speak forcefully with one voice. president trump tweeted overnight he'll be holding a campaign-style rally in phoenix, arizona, next tuesday, getting a lot of pushback from the mayor of phoenix who's asking him not to come, and it also comes as the president is taking aim at arizona senator jeff blake, one of his critics, saying this about

what is going on with lindsey graham?it's really incredible because i think that lindsey gram has obviously someone been critical of the president. in some ways i think that the republican party as a whole finds itself having to continuously in some ways dance around the fact that donald trump is still president and that they have to get things done. >> so is this how you do it, daniel la? is this how you go about it? on one day you slam him or don't agree with him and the next day it's all political strategy, i agree with him? >> i guess that's what they're going to have to do. i'm a little sad for him. wake up in the morning and say, okay, which lindsey graham am i going to be today based on what craziness he's tweeting. the republican party, they're going to have to figure out what's more important, passing their plans that are going to give tax cuts to the wealthiest americans or saving the country from donald trump. they're going to have to figure out which is their priority. >> alfon sew, do you think it's that dire

so, bugliosi turned to virginia graham, one of the two fellow jail inmates atkins had confessed to.ily described the tate and labianca murders. >> there wasn't a sign of remorse of anything. in fact, it was almost very boastful. >> reporter: and atkins vowed they were just getting started, said graham. they had a plan to murder a-list celebrities. >> it was tom jones, elizabeth taylor, steve mcqueen, and frank sinatra. they were going to skin him alive and make purses out of it and sell it on hollywood boulevard. >> reporter: virginia graham's testimony made the front page, one of many headlines in a trial that lasted some seven months. >> the jury hearing the charges against charles manson and three girl members of his so called family, brought in its verdict this afternoon. all were found guilty of murder in the first degree. >> reporter: manson and several members of "the family" were sentenced to death for the tate and labianca murders, a career-making victory for prosecutor vincent bugliosi who was emphatic the sentence was richly deserved. >> in view of the incredible brutalit

pretty much ran against senators like lindsey graham. the we're seeing lots of senators trying to distance themselves from the president. they do, however, share an agenda, and republicans in congress very much want to get things done. i think you're also seeing republicans in congress wanting to fill a leadership void, i think that they see missing from this president. so i don't think that trump's attacks will defter them from. >> you cover this very closely. it may not be great politics for some of these republican senators for members of congress to do this. it's hard to know. the president's approval rating still 79% among republicans. the so lindsey graham is doing this in spite of the polling. jeff flake maybe doing it in spite of the polling. his primary opponent endorsed by the president this morning. they feel it is important beyond politics here to take a stand. >> i find the relationship or ace agreement between trump and senator flake because the senator is up for re-election. he was kind of jousting with the president in pr
