wonder how they react to you and your interest in them you know i think there were europeans that had come in and had met boris before so he had met foreigners but i think what was different was with me is after i met boris on that first trip and was taken by all of it and i said i'm going to come back what can i do can i bring your equipment i think that he and seven. kind of had a feeling of course she says she's going to come back but she's not going to because i think many people before me westerners came in and said the same thing that they wanted to come back i think what surprised boris and everybody else is that i did come back and i kept coming back and i kept coming back every three months and i kept bringing them equipment and and that's why i got the nickname back then is the tractor the american tractor because i think they were amazed at how i could get things done that when i became passionate about something and had an idea i would make it happen from what i remember at least in the late soviet years america was strongly romanticized in russia it was

john i know that there were long periods. during which you did not visit russia i think it was twelve or maybe even twenty years at a time that you stayed away from this country was there any particular reason for that you know when i left russia i came back to los angeles i had my daughter and i kind of became a full time mother and again things had changed you know i was lucky that i lived through russia really three three different periods i was there under communism i was there through glass dos and i was there and capitalism and communism was really interesting for me because it was kind of you know close but behind closed doors there were parties and all this interesting stuff was happening you know the favorite time was when the russian people seen the happiest because nothing had changed much except for they could speak more freely and say things but then the last period was capitalism and that was a difficult time in the ninety's with capitalism it was it was kind of crazy so when i left russia i refocused my life on

i was such a blip. if there were people who could remember, i would like it to be, sofy was going to write my own legacy, let's do that. it would be that she could work across the aisle. and she could work with people with whom she disagreed, but respected. and always felt really proud to be part of this institution. >> sounds like a great legacy. >> thank you so much for sharing your time. >> thank you. >> oral histories will continue in a moment. as we show american history tv programs normally seen only on the weekends here on c-span 3 during this congressional break. coming up, a conversation with former representative pat schroeder. she was the first woman elected to represent colorado in congress. then house of representatives historians explain their project to learn from the lawmakers' experiences. that's followed by their interview with former congresswoman susan molinari. >>> pat schroeder served in the u.s. house of representatives from 193 to 1997 as a democrat from colorado. she was one of only 14 congre

i think those trips were very, very important. not the least of which is to bear witness to what goes on the world, and to bring it back. i know there are people, you know, who have a tendency to brag that they didn't have a passport. i think when you're elected to the u.s. house of representatives or united states senate, you know, we do call the president the leader of the free world. it's nice to be able to get to know places outside the united states in order to make appropriate decisions. >> let's move to wrap up questions. because when you served there were relatively so few women in congress at that time, did you feel that you didn't only represent your constituents but you represented a larger group of women national? >> no doubt about it -- nationally? >> no doubt about it. no doubt about it. again, you felt that you were representing a larger group. i felt more -- i don't want to say pressure because i enjoyed it. i felt strongly about the need to get out there and be seen on tv, to opine on issues i thought were importan

those were things i loved about my childhood for most of those were things i lost.and it was hard, that was the hard thing was being close to these things tha but i was never going to have again and that ended up being the hardest thing to write about but in a way it was a good thing because it was the reclaim that in a strange way. >> host: was there one part that was particularly hard to write this ice cube? >> guest: there were a couple of moments about my dad that were hard to write about. there were moments my father saved my life basically where we were breaking in horses and i was on a horse that went completely deserved and he was on one that had never been written before it was it's first time. my horse went to sit down and i got my foot caught in the saddle and it was a docking and running it on a hillside with rabin everywhere and it was a matter of time before i fell off and was dragged and that's pretty much you hit your hea a figurehr its done. my brother had somehow on his horse managed to catch a hold of my horse and slow it down if this is the broth

i loved to practice and play. harvey: those were your training wheels, in lansing, in michigan, but when you came out to l.a., jerry buss not only took you under his wing, but you partied with him. - hard. - hard. i mean, i remember the stories, being totally on the outside, but it was epic. we had the best time, and i tell you, he loved to dance. so we would be at night clubs till 2:00, 3:00 in the morning, and he and i'd be partying, dancing, with all these beautiful ladies. and the one thing he did do for me, which was the thing that i had to do-- first, introduce me to hugh hefner. you went to the playboy mansion a lot. i did. you're not supposed to tell everybody. listen, i had heard it from the outside. - i'm serious. - i did. and i had a ball, and when i met hugh, i almost fainted, right? 'cause, you know, as a kid growing up in lansing, michigan, all you had was that magazine, that "playboy" magazine, so you were like, "look at these women." - it came to life. - exact-- and it did, too. and we had a good time. and hugh was a

if i were counseling a young person today when i have students i do tell them that they need to think not only about how to. be great artist but also to think about how to bring their art to people who may not yet be part of a part of our world and i'd love it if there were more and more people who are part of our world and in a way it's it's very simple you don't you don't need to be someone who knows a lot to enjoy classical music i don't think that's that's the point at all i think all you need to do is to listen think the more you listen the more you like it listening is the most important thing and knowing what's happening comes from listening and not from learning first and then listening hear hear as he would say in england thank you very much you. like me you are very. therapeutic to want with my camera man chris froome i couldn't do this without him he's responsible for the shot the lighting and also for correcting my mistakes english accent which episode if you chose and why well one of the great things about this program is i get to travel with you so much to various parts

was the one who were was the i woud be. and those scenes here were no exception to the thing going on around the country apart from those lucky fifty thousand or so who had tickets to the such a stadium millions were watching the game glued to their screens not just here in the host country but also in croatia. i was. and. it. was good and. it. was. certainly had a thrilling charge time of it fighting spirit that every minute of the game it seems one one off the normal time it was. extra time the players giving their all all their emotions all the energy on the football field let's see how that drama unfolded on at least he. was in the week i. think i've had he want to be the table always to cherish. such moment is the rocket goal open the school ring. replies you know minutes before. taking the lead with not fun and there's equalized side in the crowd here absolutely. crazy right who was in it was a quiet motion you see and it was disappointing a little bit rush a clue just keep it tight keep it together for ten minutes and

i have gone with my husband, and we were going to go together. yllis writing articles for "-- he was writing articles for "the sacramento bee" about cuba. we learned that the cubans would not give me a visa. so i had to make my way back to san francisco. it was difficult. i did not have a proper visa. i had a transit visa, and they would not let me go out the way i came in, because i was supposed to be transiting. you get involved sometimes with stupidities like that. brian: why were you attracted, and vice versa? do you remember the circumstances? ms. kennan warnecke: it was not very serious. i was married. we danced and had a good time. he was an attractive man, and i did certainly notice him, but then we met later, a couple of years later. at that time, it became much more serious. then we dated for a long time. brian: you have a spot in your book where you say, a few months later, i told jack, meaning the man you are going to marry, that you were planning to ask for a divorce. and he said, you do not know what you are doing. i don't want any p

john i know that there were long periods. during which you did not visit russia i think it was twelve or maybe even twenty years at a time that you stayed away from this country was there any particular reason for that you know when i left russia i came back to los angeles i had my daughter and i kind of became a full time mother and again things had changed you know i was lucky that i lived through russia really three three different periods i was there under communism i was there through glass dos and i was there and capitalism and communism was really interesting for me because it was kind of you know closed but behind closed doors there were parties and all this interesting stuff was happening you know the favorite time was when the russian people seen the happiest because nothing had changed much except for they could speak more freely and say things but then the last period was capitalism and that was a difficult time in the ninety's with capitalism it was it was kind of crazy so when i left russia i refocused my life on

went on to get my pilot's license when i was 15. there were pilots in the family. so this young woman flying around was pretty cool, i thought. and i thought eleanor roosevelt was pretty remarkable, rather than being a gorgeous, glamour queen or whatever, she was very interested in what was going on in the world and how she could contribute to it. and seemed to have a lot of guts. growing up in the '40s and '50s, guts was not a word you associated with women and she had it. i thought good for her. you know? >> what were the societal expectations for you as you a young girl to what you were to be when you were older? >> there was an idea that you either became a mommy or a teacher or a nurse. there really wasn't a lot of options. you were narrowly channeled. luckily, i had a family that let me do things that a lot of other girls probably didn't do. when i got to school, to college, i literally select m ly college because my father said the most important thing i would learn in college is to how to pay my own way. i had to pay for tuition, books

grace: we were there because i was with my father. ere in highland park, he was doing research at the university of chicago, in the library. stephenson heard my father was there and wanted to meet him. we were invited to dinner. that is how we got there. ck mcclatchy was the assistant press secretary for stephenson. so he was there. brian: how much time after that were you married? grace: well, i did not see him again. he moved to washington after the campaign. about six months later he phoned me up. i was not sure who he was. but i knew i met him at stephenson's house. we were married probably 10 months after we met. we were married for eight years. brian: was this particular incident what killed the marriage? i just read, when a group was there at the house. grace: i am sure a few other things -- well, the fact that i had been living sort of in a world i did not understand. brian: what does that mean? i had no idea he was gay. so i think some of those things -- all married couples have problems. i mean and there is no marriage -- at

but i had three children who were aged 4, 6, and 8 and they came with me. so then my sister said, because of peace corps training, would i mind taking her children who were 4 and 7? so i had five children under the age of 8. i had a dream -- i was so excited about taking care of svetlana. i thought this was huge. i remember i brought a brand new notebook. i was going to take notes. i think in the back of my mind i was going to write an article. i thought this was a big thing in my life. of course, with five children and svetlana to feed, of course her vegetarian diet she wouldn't touch the food the kids would eat. hamburgers and hotdogs. she wanted risotto and elaborate things that took a lot of work. we didn't have the simplest -- my parents weren't really modern. we didn't have a washer. we didn't have a dryer. i took all the laundry in for seven people into the local thing and put dimes in the -- in those days it cost a dime to wash your clothes in the washing machine. shopping was a big thing. seven or eight people. her translator came. his lawyer came -

in a lot of places i lived alo alone. these people were with me all the time. on facebook when i was hearing gun shootings and airstrikes they would send a message to tell them how afraid and that is the amazing thing these people were watching 24 hours to keep me safe. >> host: the way that you met all of them before the war started is through your interfaith work. do you think for a lot of americans the idea sounds sort of put she like its nice people from different come countries maybe they share about the different holidays. it doesn't sound like a threatening work but it was for you in yemen. he decided to reach out to christians and jews and put your life at risk. can you explain what this work means if you are living in a muslim country? >> guest: you have the majority of one. you don't want to focus on this in your country but they want to focus on the enemy so if you will not listen to us, see what is happening in iraq and afghanistan. that is the kind of propaganda that they would be hearing all the time. it's called propaganda that continues and for m

i think you're right. it was. we got sober, and we weret said, "you know, i got this rough idea." and write with not just joe and not just with myself, but write with a few other people. i'd never done that my whole life. that was the second coming. "cryin'," for instance, was a guy name taylor rhodes from down south. and, you know, did-- i said, "how about... ( hums melody ) in the beginning?" and we wrote this song called "cryin'," one of our biggest hits. ♪ i was crying when i met you ♪ ♪ now i'm trying to forget you ♪ ♪ your love is sweet misery ♪ steven: so that was it. but how odd, you're so right, that a bunch of 40-year-old guys could turn on to-- because i don't think-- i don't think any bands were doing that. it's just, i keep looking around left and right when we were on stage, and thinking, "these guys really love what they're doing." ♪ so i took a big chance at the high school dance ♪ ♪ with a lady who was ready to play ♪ ♪ was it me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin' ♪ ♪ when she taught me how to walk this way

i was 15. so there were pilots in the family. so this young woman out flying around i thought was pretty cool. and i i thought eleanors roosevelt was pretty remarkable. rather than being a gorgeous glamour queen she was interested in what was going on in the world and how she could contribute to it and she had a lot of guts. when i was growing up in the '40s and '50s, guts was not a word you would associate with women. they were not supposed to have that. and she did. she had it, she was out there and i just thought -- good for her, you know? >> when you were growing up what were the societal expectations for you as a young girl of what you would be when you would get old centre. >> it was the idea that you either became a mommy, or a teacher or a nurse. i mean there really wasn't a lot of options. you would just kind of narrowly channeled. and luckily i had a family that was not so narrow in their views and allowed me to do a lot of things that probably other girls didn't do. when i got to school, when i got to college. i literal

if i were them, but keep this as a referendum and if i were a republican, i would try to focus on what concrete things that happen on capitol hill and try tong localize it, try to individualize it and keep it away from being a referendum up or down on president trump. >> one of the space as republicans have targeted as florida. republican governor rick scott is taking the senate seat held by bill nelson into the sunshine state. here's a relatively new ad from the campaign taking aim at senator nelson and the democrats. >> while they toe the party line? nelson voted with hillary clinton 89% pure but obama 90%. democrat presidents have nominated 700 judges and nelson never posed a single one. not one. nelson a big party bosses every time. now opposing the president's choice before it's been made. you can't get more party line did not. bill nelson, party affairs. >> i approve this message. >> let's look at the florida senate race. >> i think is one of the best two, three or four senate races. one of the mostt competitive god rick scott, the governor meets all the tags of what is the top-l

kennan warnecke: i got a when we were on the last lap going into russia, he said, i think she has money in her guitar case. she was taking it to the bathroom. thinking weense, were probably smuggling money into russia and we could be in deep trouble. far, how had gone too can i back out at this point? so we were very lucky. to get around, waiting in line to go through customs, we ran into a well-known film director. him, so helated for knew me. joan was.o he said, instead of standing in this line, you get the vip treatment. his father wrote the soviet national anthem, so he was well-regarded. he took us through customs. we got through so fast. there is that element in the soviet union. if you know the right people, rules do not apply. brian: do you know how much money she gave? ms. kennan warnecke: she did not give. she started to talk about it and i kicked her and said i'm a right it down. because i knew the place was bugged. woman inowed it to the charge, the leading figure. she said, no, we do not want any money. if she gives us money, we will go to jail. do not let her give us anyth

i did. david: so you were at compaq, which at the time, i think, was one of the biggest manufacturers of personalomputers. tim: they were number one at the time. david: so you are there for about six months and you get a call from steve jobs or somebody like him saying, can you come and join apple? apple was modest compared to compaq. why did you take the interview? and why did you join apple? tim: yes, it's a good question. steve had come back to the company and was essentially replacing the executive team that was there at the time. i thought, you know, this is an opportunity to talk to the guy that started the whole industry. and steve met me on saturday. and it was like just minutes into talking with him, "i want do it," which i was totally shocked myself. but there was a sparkle in his eye that i'd never seen in a ceo before. and there was -- he, he was sort of turning left when everyone else was turning right. it was almost in everything he talked about. he was doing something extraordinarily different than conventional wisdom. many people were abandoning the consumer market because they we

unhappy being in russia and that they wanted to leave but i found the opposite i thought they were very happy in russia i think they would have loved if they could have made money off their music and could have toured and could have had better equipment but i never found this angriness that they hated living in russia i think they were very proud and very tied to their russian blood let me ask you specifically about that because victor sort widely credited for capturing the desire for change in the soviet union and i think that's maybe why he's here and his personality his music you are experiencing a second comeback in modern day russia but the way the call was expressed in his lyrics i thought was very culturally russian because his most famous song was we are awaiting change rather than we are the change which would be a seam i think for many western musicians and i wonder well whether you agree with the russians are indeed more. massive him in a way of waiting for the change to be delivered to them rather than being the agents of change well first of all i want to bring up that

myself and i. were all the laws are i guess you were i mean there is another case where you think indigenous women forward when the allegations against the court that department and they sent me were sex insults but nothing happened. this week donald trump departs on a weeklong tour of europe where he'll meet his russian counterpart and his nato allies of the us leader has warned alliance members he might withdraw american forces from the continent if they don't pay up. you know when i'm going to tell you know you got to see paying your bills the united states i don't think so members might be worried by trump's hold but not everyone is keen on keeping me out on top and running he will go antiwar activists in the belgian capital hitting the streets on saturday denouncing the military block as well as trump's upcoming visit to brussels for the next stop will be the u.k. and protesters there already to track his every move he's pulling boyko looks at why trump might end up not particularly enjoying his li

i didn't do newsletters because i thought they were phoney. everybody always -- i had made so much fun of my opponent's newsletters when i was running for office that i didn't dare do it. so, you know, the media came, it was good. it was another time. and the wonderful thing that probably actually saved my skin, because i didn't have any money and i -- you know, i didn't have any real way to communicate that much, but at that time there was the fairness doctrine. ronald reagan got rid of it, but there was the fairness doctrine. so my staff would watch, and if somebody got on the air and said, "i can't believe what that idiot did today," yada, yada, yada, i could ask for equal time. i could say, well, you know, leapt me explain to you what i did today. what i did today was a, b, c, d, and i think that saved my skin. you can't do that anymore. i mean that's a huge, huge problem. i remember toward the end much my career rush limbaugh would start calling me femi-nazi all the time which i thought was an awful word. you can't get on the air. you can

were able to get out. it was definitely not an ideal situation, but i can't say they were blocked in. it -- it did -- it did create a problem, but it didn't prevent them from getting out of the fire station. >> commissioner hirsch: thanks. >> commissioner mazzucco: all right. thank you, chief. i know that was requested last week and thank you for filling us in. it was thorough. extremely thorough. if you would continue with your report, please. >> thank you, commissioner. so as far as the rest of my report, there is actually no significant events to report for this week. there are just a couple of other items of interest. so we had -- in addition to the crime i reported, we had a fatal traffic collision unfortunately yesterday at slope and 36th. we had an elderly individual that was crossing the street at 36th and sloat. he was struck by a vehicle. although there were c.p.r. -- c.p.r. was performed at the scene, unfortunately he did not survive his injuries. so we are committed with vision zero, and we do, from time to time, unfortunately see pedestrian accidents a lot of times involvi

i thought it was brilliant. so talking with him, the type of questions he asked were all so different. did, literally before i left, i thought, i hope he offers me a job. i really want to do this. david: did your friends tell you this was not a good idea? tim: they thought i was nuts. [laughter] tim: they thought i was nuts. again, conventional wisdom is you're working for the top personal computer maker in the world. why would you ever leave? you've got a career ahead. it wasn't a decision you could kind of sit down and do the engineering kind of analysis, saying here are the pluses and minuses, because that analysis would always say stay put. it was this voice in your head that was saying, go west, young man. go west. david: despite the fact there was no state income tax in texas and there is in california, you still said you were going to go west. in hindsight, this was the best professional decision of your life, i assume? may the best decision of my life. i'm not sure you have to put professional in that. david: steve's health was such that he could not continue to be the ceo. tim:

i do it anyway. to screw up being. told we were being discussed i was attracted to the socialist german student union or s.d.s. a left wing opposition organization the group was especially upset about what it considered the rigid structure of west germany universities. i just do it and i but if they would stand up during a lecture and interrupted you'd be sitting there and someone from the s.d.s. would get up and start asking questions and that would put a stop to the lecture they called it blasting and i thought it was great it would get fired after. i was passed out soon joined the s.d.s. she supported the organizations message but didn't care much for the messengers. it disintegrates and they weren't classy guys who drove around in sports cars and they really didn't appeal to me as men as the hamley as in the book before they were rather scruffy. on the other hand they looked like intellectual or most people's image of intellectuals they were smart and they were captivating speakers or at least that's what i thought at the time.

wonder how they react to you and your interest in them you know i think there were europeans that had come in and had met boris before so he had met foreigners but i think what was different was with me is after i met boris on that first trip and was taken by all of it and i said i'm going to come back what can i do can i bring her equipment i think that he and seven. kind of had a feeling of course she says she's going to come back but she's not going to because i think many people before me westerners came in and said the same thing that they wanted to come back i think what surprised boris and everybody else is that i did come back and i kept coming back and i kept coming back every three months and i kept bringing them equipment and and that's why i got the nickname back then is the tractor the american tractor because i think they were amazed at how i could get things done that when i became passionate about something and had an idea i would make it happen from what i remember at least in the late soviet years america was strongly romanticized in russia it was

that was how i knew these students. they were in my office and i said they want -- they wanted me to teach the course because they couldn't get anybody to teach it. they were very cheap. they said, we have the syllabus. we got it from nyu. just come and teach it. i said i do criminal defense work, i don't know anything about women in the law and sex discrimination. they said, this way you will learn. [laughter] i do think there is -- i think the students know what they need. that is one piece of advice that i would have, listen to them and try to respond. when i think back on those early days of women in the law, and our aspirations for the course, we went through every course, every subject matter in the law and said, how does this affect women and what effect does it have on women? i always thought this is weird, to have a course where you teach every course, only concentrate on women. and to call it women in the law is almost simple. i was thinking it would be like the law in elephants, or something. [laughter] it was just --

i would be exhausted if i were n,u. >> i know, and t was like, i would be exhausted if i were you. ve a a salad and a vitamin water. >> oh, of course. i don't know what i was hearing, it's true. [ light laughter ] of course you did. >> jimmy: i wish i had a chili r dog and a you look forward to -- the tour is september 25th, >> i like -- >> jimmy: oh, come on. the tour is september 25th. it starts, it's a giant, it's christinaaguilera.com. >> yes.th >> jimmy: bu is what you love. you love doing this. >> yes, i'm doing it in a way my fans have waited so long. it's like an up-close, and personal look, and yes, i haven't.e st time i was on tour, i was pregnant with my son on stage. so, i was about to give birth, and then at a certain point, i had to stop touring fety reasons. you know, like, you have to at a certain point, you h stop. so, ever since then, i was like, how do peopldo this with kids and touring and blah, blah, blah, but you know? t's time for mama to get back to what i was bodo, and what i do best. so -- [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that's what i'm talking about. e s

the president's lawyer but if i were the first motion i would make is, mr. chief justice, you are the presiding judge here. this impeachment bill doesn't charge a crime. i hereby make a motion to dissmith the impeachment bill in front of you, your honor, the judge. the judge just says i'm just furniture, i'm not really a judge here, i'd say read the constitution. they specifically made you preside. you have a job to do. what do judges do? judges have to rule on motions to dismiss. let's assume the judge rules and says you're right, i dismiss, and the senate says, no, no, we're the senate, we overrule you, and we're going to rule against you. these are all hypothetical possibles. i'm a law professor so i have license to create hypotheticals. i've been doing it's 3 years. i don't -- >> i believe roberts said the senate is not just a jury, it's a court. wouldn't that imply it's up to the senate to mike the rulings. >> he said it's not just a jury. it's a court. but courts have also legal obligations, and if they -- let's assume the senate rules -- the senate vo

we know now that they were there we would. just all my life i grew up around my family in how much we were. loved one my mom no one saw the cars. so i know all the laws especially within our slim i buy my heart to work with. myself and i. were all the laws are and you were i mean there is another where you think indigenous women forward with allegations against the court that apartment and they said they were sex insults but nothing happened. this week donald trump departs on a weeklong tour of europe where he will meet his russian counterpart at his nato allies at the us leader has warned alliance members he might withdraw american forces from the continent if they don't pay up. want to tell you know you got to see paying your bills united states i don't think nato members might be worried by trump's tough talk but not everyone's keen on keeping the alliance up and running on t.v. war activists in the belgian capital hit the streets on saturday denouncing the military law because well as trump's upcoming visit to cross holds now the next stop o

barack obama and i were very happy about it. [laughter] but you even half to learn how to discipline them without letting them think that their agents told on them. parents you understand so i had to lie a little bit where i got my information. julia's mom called me and told me. but not because i got a full detail. how do you think i knew? those are some of the parenting scenarios. so my goal as a parent was to make sure my kids had normalcy. that is the challenges for the average parent but here is what i learned. kids don't need that much if they know that you love them, and conditionally you can live in the white house or know little bitty apartment home is what you make of it with that interaction every day and it doesn't have to be perfect it can be broken and funny in many ways and that was a level of dysfunction most families will never experience but it was odd and kids are resilient which is why think about all the kids that don't make it through because it takes a lot to break a kid but there are so many broken kids tha

were. over on bennington where i was a week before last and manchester, this was areas where they were separated by the green mountains and where they really didn't like, didn't -- really wanted to make the changes. i'm going to mention a couple of people that i did like in the book, as i mentioned. ethan allen got pushed aside by the commander of the green mountain boys because they deny trust him. he'd gone off to capture fort ticonderoga, and it was something that congress did not want. and he had then not only taken -- and the problem is they took ticonderoga which belonged to new york. and massachusetts had sent a man named benedict arnold up here. and benedict arnold and ethan allen absolutely loathed each other. i think one of them kicked the other for disrespecting him or something. so as i get into this, the -- sorry. i'll get right with it. bear with me. i'm going to -- as i talk some of the other characters who i liked who are fascinating here. ooh, boy. one was ebeneezer allen who i find fascinating. he was ethan allen's cousin. and he was a stone killer. his, he had rangers and head

i would keep this as a referendum and if i were a republican, i would try to focus on what concrete things have happened on capitol hill and try to localize and individualize it , and try to keep it away from being a referendum up or down of president trump. host: one of the states republicans have targeted is florida. rick scott is seeking the senate seat held by bill nelson. here is a relatively new ad from the scott campaign taking aim at senator nelson and the democrats. >> how much does bill nelson toe the party line? he voted with hillary clinton 89%, with obama 98%. democratic presidents have on -- nominated more than 100 judges -- 700 judges. you cannot get more partyline than that. lastnelson, 31st, florida -- party first, florida last. guest: i think it is one of the best 2, 3, or four senate races of this year, one of the most competitive. rick scott, the governor meets all the tests of what is a top level challenger. statewide name recognition at the beginning of the race, statewide organization at the beginning of the race, all the money he could possibly need, and four, he ha

and you decided that take an ambien, you were going to sleep, i got a chill. just, after you do, that you get the call, you have to go to a very important meeting, you were asked a question in that meeting, the response that middlmostpeople came back with,e passionately illogical in your response, live that phrase. would you say that republican party is being passionately illogical in its support. is -- we are passionate about that. but is that logical? something where american people are. i thought those two words from that moment, described a broader moment that we find ourselves in, national party, of. and country. >> i have to say, that is probably the best question i had to take a story about 17 days of trade talks in taking an -- am ambien. i think that one thing that i have noticed about where the party is right now, they appreciate the fact that the president is fighting for them. on so manien fro fronts, on somr issues you mentioned maybe they are not 100% behind that particular issue, they believe that president is fighting for them, so they continue

[laughter] >> and if i were going to play tennis i would probably play with rachel or nick or aj, if you were to play who would show up? >> a long time ago when i was younger i was a decent tennis player. and so i lost to some of the best in the world. cenroe, people like that. so i've been known to lose a good match. >> if you beat them, you have a good story. what is the worst thing that ever happened to you during a twitter our? -- during a twitter hour? >> when you are the mayor, people say all kinds of things to you. but as you said earlier the best part of it is to find every kind of platform that you have to interact with your constituents. >> and what is a twitter survival tip >? >> mine is to have a sense of humor. if you can't have a sense of humor, don't get on twitter because particularly when people know you, they want to see the personality and not just a politician. and hopefully my best tweets are always the ones where i showed a little bit of myself. >> as nick would say, delete your account. mayor burke, thank you for a great conversation. thank you very much.

>> senator, if i were confirmed to be a d.c. ircuit judge, i would of course, follow the precedent of the santa fe case that case addressed a question that had been left open in the lee sus weisman case. in that case there was a school sponsored prayer at a graduation ceremony where the government was actually involved. and one of the questions that was left open is what happens if a stay tuned or a -- student or a private speaker participates in a school event as a private speaker? in the santa fe case they said it could be a attributed to the school. and so it was a violation of the establishment clause. i think the overall area represents a tension the supreme court has attempted to resolve throughout the years in terms of facilitating the free exercise of religion without crousing the establishment clause lines that the court has set out for many years now. i know that the court in recent years has made clear on a number of cases that private religious speech, religious people, religious organizations cannot be or should not
