policy of supporting saudi arabia and its coalition in yemen but i think what has really sharpened the focus now is that school bus bombing and the fact that the latest u.n. report really mentions children on on on every couple of pages it says it's so clear that the biggest victims of this war are innocents and that the war is not achieving the aims that it had set out to achieve in the beginning saudi arabia has said that it's aimed to restore heard his government to prevent yemen from fragmenting to protect its southern border and to contain the influence of iran none of those things have happened in fact quite the reverse has happened and so the u.s. and the u.k. and others do need to reconsider their policy of supporting the coalition in its ongoing war martha we've seen entire neighborhoods one of we've seen thousands of people evicted from the homes of illegals killed many people ask you the question why there's been this lack of action from the international community is it because of yemen is one of the most one of the poorest nations on earth or is it because these are these

pay back those debts in my debts keep creeping up because you know every day i have to get things from the mauritanian sharpen it was a period. for like two months and i didn't make that wasn't even i didn't even make you know a dollar to no tourists or the tourist came they didn't stop by us i couldn't sell a single cd nothing you know we're going to go back and i'm going to have very little. you know very little cash and then i'm going to have these people coming bothering me thinking i'm like whoa whoa whoa you know you know i hate when i say look i don't laugh you know they think of course i have money and i'm loaded you know because i'm a white person and i just came back from america really where's venues. i'm going to get for like a week and have people coming to my door people below by just coming and coming in not believing anything i say thinking and i'm holding out on them that i think that the stuff that. i mean i can deal with that but what's for me is depressing is the fact that. i don't see any kind of. source for financial help that's my biggest that's really makes me depressed because. now i'

i filled up up my first plane. when we landed, a passenger next to me said you ought to sharpen up your service a bit and you can be in the airline business. i thought, okay, so i rang up bowie, and asked if he had any 747s for sale. british airways launched a dirty tricks campaign against us. they did everything they could to drive us out of business. we took them to court. we won the biggest damages in british history. we redistributed it to all of our staff equally. every year we hope british airways will launch a dirty tricks campaign against us. david: many thought you were the antiestablishment airline. what is now the big eye, the ferris wheel in london, british airways was supporting it and they could not get the thing to work. you guys rented a blimp? richard: we scrambled the blimp and we flew over the eyes it was still on the ground. the only reason we would go into a new sector is if we felt it was being badly run by the people. the reason we went into trains was the government was running trains. british rail was dilapidated trains, a miserable service. we felt we could motivate the staff, we could mak

if you listen carefully to sessions' rationale he talks about protecting people of faith but i want to sharpenhat up because when sessions says protecting people of faith what he really means is conservative white christians and particularly white evangelical christians but that group is an outlier in the country on these issues. they are the only group that opposes -- only religious group that opposes same-sex marriage in the country. white evangelical protestants are the only religious group now that opposes same-sex marriage in the country and they are the only group that wants to allow small businesses to refuse service to lbgt people. >> bishop barber, it felt for a while like this whole question of lgbt rights settled in the country even among religious people. does this surprise you that this battle front is being reopened? >> it doesn't because if you understand the same rationale as robbie said that is used to say a business ought to be able to deny an lbgt person is the same rationale as the segregation issues and the slave holders used. they said religious said segregation and slave

i know as a collector he endorsed shoelaces, pencil sharpener's. my god, there was merchandise everywhere. but i have never seen if he made $1.5 million or $25 million -- any thoughts on that? dan: i know one number, but he was very reticent. he was a very private guy, which is one reason why the press and he never got along. the press, you know, they have a job to do, but they interfered with his life quite a bit, including sneaking into the morgue in new jersey and taking pictures of his dead baby and printing them after that happened. so he did not talk much about his private life. his daughter said he had been like that all of his life. so he probably kept a lot of finances do himself. i know the legitimate offers he was given right after he came back totaled in excess of $5 million. which in 1927 would be about $65 million now. there were a lot more offers. a lot of them were just plain silly. they wanted to promote a lucky lindy bread. a moviemaker in hollywood offered him an outrageous amount of money to get married on camera, whether or not

other side you debate that as you read that you say that's not right because of this and that sharpen the blade. >> ialso watch a lot of msnbc the left-wing cable news network that is that is the channel i have open network and cnn of course is a you do get exposed to a variety of perspectives the huffington post is also important but sometimes i just find those opposing views with breitbart because within the conservative movement there is a diversity of views that we have interesting discussions on social media and internally and those that are facing everybody else but to have that diversity within the conservative movement may be more so than on the left that is partly a function to be in the opposition the anti- trump movement is a unifying force but interesting ideological policy differences i think the left is more narrow in terms of his thinking getting an email e-mail today from the progressive policy institute and a talk about how some of the policies of france point the way forward for the left so he is reform the pension system and change some of their laws about labor and as a reformer w

i have been so surprised to see how much the press corps has done. >> sharpening the questions. spending two or three hours, what is the best question, and you have got your question ready to go, but maybe the person, the guy just ahead of you asked a question, and the president does not really answer, and now, people do these follow-ups. in my day, that rarely happened, because you had your question, and you got your question answered, so there was no follow-up. >> i think there is sort of a collective. by the way, because covering an administration is so tough and competitive, there is a broader collegiality in terms of, hey, look, we're all in this together. we want to fight at holding this administration accountable, and sort of allowing people to either get their follow-up in or to get an answer. it has sort of happened organically. it is not something that was discussed. i just think it is something we all feel is very important, as we do feel as though -- whether it is there at the podium or it is the president or questioning, to really press them to give us an answer, an

i suspect there won't be a lot of sympathy. and prosecutors will have learned how to sharpen their case from what they did in virginia. it's not the same charges so it's not exactly the same evidence, but if they've made mistakes, they've learned, they won't make them again. >> they probably knew this in advance, they've learned that rick gates is not a sympathetic witness so do not put too much reliance on that cooperator. >> right. you don't want to put too much reliance on any cooperator. you need e-mail, documents, taped phone calls, other evidence to help corroborate that witness. gates is probably still valuable but they have to be cautious in how they use them. but the same applies to michael cohen down the road. you don't just take him at his word, you have to corroborate what he tells you. >> there isn't that much time between now and september 17th, the trial date. harry litman, do they have enough time to go through a detailed examination of michael cohen's offer? they only got all of the records from the master last week. they've only had a week to go through all this stuff. do they have enough time betwee
