now to jim jim there's more from cox's bazaar in neighboring bangladesh where hundreds of thousands of ranger refugees live in camps. for him to activists we've spoken with many of whom have been accusing the military and then more of genocide for some time now the news that a u.n. panel of investigators is recommending that top tier military officials in myanmar be charged with and put on trial for crimes of genocide is welcome news but they are cautiously optimistic the activists that we've spoken to have said look this sets a good precedent but it must be followed through they want to see the international criminal court actually step in and prosecute these officials in myanmar that have been accused of committing crimes of genocide but they also are aware they're telling us that this is something that could be riddled with complications it's going to be a difficult and long process what's interesting is that this news is coming just two days after there were mass demonstrations here include just a long campaign cox a bizarre bangladesh on saturday which was the first year anniversa

what we would like people to know about the jim wright papers, and about jim wright himself, the papers really document his entire life. from his birth, his childhood, the events that shaped him and inspired him to be in public service. all the way to the challenges he faced as a congressman. obviously, the ethics scandal that led to him resigning from congress under the way that it affected him personally. -- end the way that it affected him personally. his contributions to tcu and the fort worth community are represented in the papers as well. some of the historical evidence events that he was witnessed to or involved in, and really of 2015, what ath in figure he was in texas politics. he really had a great impact on the fort worth area and he was a major figure in american politics for over 30 years so, . so, anyone researching congress during that period, these would be a great resource for them. because he was an eyewitness to it all. the major legislation, and the diplomacy of the united states at the time. he was also such a good writer and communicator, that he was really able t

jim sciutto. was it a conversation the back and forth between sarah huckabee sanders and jim. jim was saying can you stand up there and say, now, press is not the enemy of the people which is what we've heard over and over from this president. we've just heard that ivanka trump has said no they are not. only now. i would love to hear you weigh in on that. >> she nailed it when she talked about how this is really serving putin's interest because as dan coats said there's a pervasive message campaign designed to divide and weaken americans and guess what? donald trump is the most important player in that pervasive campaign whether consciously or unconsciously that's exactly what he's doing. he's dividing americans and weakening our institutions. he's attacking every pillar of our society that can stand as a check and balance upon his misbehavior starting with the press and that very ugly display that jim acosta was subject to at that trump rally which seemed something like a regime from the 1930s. also trump, for example, on a daily basis attacks the integrity of the department of j

that democrats do not listen to people like my good friend jim kessler when it comes to where the energy is. >> dana: we listen to you, jim jim good of the country, more people should, but democrats aren't. and when you look at, take one issue with what he said, in california, you have basically an icon in dianne feinstein, who cannot receive the endorsement of her party. we are watching a party that is drifting so far to the left it is almost unrecognizable. and the more the people like cortez are out putting their stamp on an agenda like the one that you just heard, the less likely that democrats are ever going to compete. >> dana: i'm curious about that, in terms of the new energy, the republican party has said that they are looking for people who are not establishment. they do not want people who have been there for years, they went out of the box candidates, do you think that you will see that with some of the incumbents in the democratic party that a been there for so long? people like dianne feinstein, for example? >> dianne feinstein will cruise to reelection. there is a look for new energy among democrats and some of

jim and allison? have you heard from them? tammy: ah... lemonis: what's happening with jim and allison? have you heard from them? tammy: yeah. lemonis: jimnd allison are no longer involved in the day to day operations. when i did the deal, i put tammy in charge, and the problem was that jim kept getting involved and kind of undermining tammy and really creating conflict with the employees. and so the best thing to do was for me to buy them out. so all of the debt got wiped out and they got a check for some cash that they can put in their pocket. and furthermore, the royalty, the $1.00 per pie and 15 cents a pie slice is turning out to be very lucrative for them. what happened? tammy: we had a falling out. -lemonis: you and jim did? -tammy: so -- yeah. he wanted to continue saying what we were still doing wrong. i mean, it's jim. he's not gonna change. lemonis: i think jim would still like to be a part of the business, but he's not a bad guy. he's just not the greatest employer in the world. how many new flavors do you have now? tammy: blueberry, mango, and blood orange. lemonis: have you gone out and done any sampling? tammy: not yet. ju

we will go on to jim, in leesburg, virginia. hi, jim. jim, good morning to you. m, one last call for jim in leesburg. it's your turn. let's go to ronnie, indianapolis. union members only this morning. which one do you belong to and how do you plan to vote? i belong to the uaw and the afp. that represents state employees. to make a long story short, in 2005 we had our collective bargaining taken away by the republicans and at that time, governor mitch daniels, who took away all of our collective bargaining and our pay has suffered -- excuse me, our health insurance has suffered, while he has taken his money and he has privatized our state government. so, i could never in a million years see myself voting republican ever because of how he and pretty much all republicans feel about the working class in the state of indiana, as well as this country. i think it's really, really sickening to hear other republicans -- i mean other union members to say they are voting republicans. i don't understand that to save my life. up on theowing cadillac tax from the previous calle

jim and two older women. the women wrapped up with a kiss on jim's cheek and went to grab a spot in line. jim looked up and said nothing. mr. mccoy, have someone here i really think that you would like to hear her sing. do you? jim asked, skeptical. the name is melanie. he turned and gestured to poor girl in. a thick barbecue dan filled the air screams and laughter and debates over the approaching crowds. she loves to sing i hope you might have our station and see if she's ready to record. jim looked at her with interest but without leering. he was assessing honestly is this young lady ready for show business? what do you sing he asked her? i like -- or agents face was so grimly focused you think guns were drawn. maranda lambert? she finally asked. i don't know if these fellas will know something that newstead jim gesturing to the road warriors currently setting up and tuning on stage. guitar, drums, bass, two microphones and ponytail speed and thing a little older? stammering but brave she opened her mouth staring at him for approval as the syllables came out slowly. loretta lynn? they might

jim schultz. jim once worked for the president and has signed a nondisclosure concerning that period. jim to ask you, is it appropriate for the president to be warning anyone private let alone the evangelicals that if the republicans lose in the midterm that will be violence? >> look, i don't know where he was going with the violence comment. i'm really not sure about that. but what we do know is this. the most important thing to conservatives is judges. the president's done a very good job at appointing conservative judges. if the senate goes the other way, it's going to be very, very difficult to do what he has done -- what he continues to do as it relates to judges and united states supreme court justices. as it relates to the house. the thing that wasn't talked about is impeachment. that's something that needs to be worried about. >> don't say there is going to be violence. you agree that violence is just different than that, correct? >> we have peaceful elections. >> right. >> i'm not sure what the president was referencing there. i have no idea. that's not what i would have said. i

jim's books is the next. unlike any other. and most of all, they came away with an appreciation of the dedication, the deliberation and tireless approach that jim takes to jim takes a while for scholarships and the subjects of his work. as i said at the beginning, jim is an institution here and you can say he is new york law school. he was always one of the law school's most popular professors and his modern supreme court seminar was so popular was regularly oversubscribed. for that class at the end of every semester he would take his students down to washington d.c. to tour the supreme court and partake in a q&a with this injustice. this is part of jim's enduring desire to bring the court to life for his students and make it historically black institution morris acceptable and appreciated by the public. in 2012, you may remember this, he took me to the corporate deal when i was admitted to the supreme court and we had a truly unforgettable. and it's really a wonderful thing. jim was certainly one of the law school's primary constitutional law professors for so many years. he taught legal journalist was on her connectors days at the supreme court for "time"

[applause] when they said after hearing so much about ohio, and it is true, you have to in ohio. they said it is going to be close that mean it would take all night i would not be able to say thing. they announced that the polls are closed and donald trump has won the state of ohio. [applause] [applause] they never stop. now they're working with troy an

jim ninsel. jim an executive editor with the "tucson weekly" on the phone with us from tucson, arizona. jimn, we thank you kindly for your time today. let's start by talking about that state where you live. the place where you cover news. what did john mccain think of arizona? what did that place mean to him? >> oh, you know, i think john mccain, who came to arizona when he was ready to launch a political career and was exiting the navy, really found a deep, deep love for arizona as an adopted son of the state, and i think he succeeded the great barry goldwater in the senate, and i think he left just as great a mark on the state as barry goldwater did. >> there are so many issues that are specific to arizona that of course john mccain, many of them he supported but some of them he disagreed with. many of those issues, for instance, immigration, a big sticking point of difference as we're seeing the u.s. president take one approach. it is one example of the disconnect between these two american figures. >> without a doubt. john mccain was a co-sponsor of the gang of eight legislation during

jim crow. jim crow is a country bumpkin who is ignorant and he is always getting in a situation where he gets a comic comeuppance from trying to look smart or when he goes to the city and tries to fit in, but he is a country bumpkin. now think about what we have talked about, about all of the young men moving to the city. and so here is a character, jim crow, a country bumpkin to the city -- but because he is an african-american, this can get laughs among the urban class, working-class audience. so, we're going to talk about the songs of the minstrel shows and what those reflect in a later class period. but i want you to understand the comic characters of the minstrel shows. one way to understand them is the racial views of americans, but think of them is the real target of the humor is these working-class resentments against gentility and refinement. >> how long do the shows last? what years? prof. foote: they're going to last until -- i am going to show you a film clip from the 1920's. i mean, the minstrel shows will be the most popular form of entertainment from 1820 into the 20th century. al jolson does films where he sings in blackface and has minstrel singers behind him. they are incredibly popular. one of my colleagues, brian, he actually studies sailors who go overseas in the early and late 19th century. one of the most inter

jim acosta. jim, the white house counsel don mcgahn will leave his job soon after cooperating with the mueller probe. what is the latest? >> that's right. president trump confirmed reporting including one that began oig don mcgahn is on his way out. he is critical to the russia investigation. and as the president told us, he is not worried about mcgahn told robert mueller insisting that he has done, quote, everything by the book. president trump put an end to the speculation, confirming that his long time aide and white house counsel will leave his post in the coming weeks. >> he's been here almost two years. and a lot of affection for don. >> reporter: mcgahn is one of the central figures in robert mueller's russia investigation in wore ways than one. when the president has toyed with the idea of firing mueller in the past, mcgahn was one who stood in the way. but more critically mcgahn spent 30 hours answering questions. >> was it a mistake to have you speak without limits? >> reporter: still the president trump told us he is not worried about in a despite cnn reporting that mr. trump wauns nifs unner. >> any concern? >> not at all. i knew he was going. >> you're aware of what he said? >> no, i don't have to be aware. we have -- we do everything straight. we do everything by the book. and don is an excellent guy. >> reporter: president's announcement of mcgahn's departure appeared to take much of washington by surprise including charles grassley who tweeted i hope it is not true. you can't let that happen. republicans will soon find out in the upcoming midterm elections where the president's leadership is helping or hurting the party. ron desantis, a trump loyalist, appeared to use a racist dog whistle on fox and slamming his democratic opponent an drew gillum. >> the last thing we need to do is to monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases and bankrupting the state. that nt wouwon't work. >> reporter: fox later said desantis went too far. >> we do not condone this language and he has since clarified his statement. >> reporter: the president claimed he had not heard the comments. >> he is an extreme talent and he will make a fantastic governor of florida. i think ron is extra ordinary in only different ways. i vhaven't lettered itheard it,. >> reporter: and potential looming issue, the handling the puerto rico. the death toll raised to nearly 3,000 people. and the president says his administration is getting the job done. >> we did a fantastic job. puerto rico was more difficult because of the fact that it is an island, much harder to get things on to the island. >> reporter: two dies after the president told christian conservatives there could be violence in democrats take control of congress, we tried to ask what he was talking about. >> if you look at what happens, there is a lot of unnecessary violence all over the world. but also in this country. and i don't want to see it. >> reporter: the president was also asked about the state of negotiations with north korea over its nuclear program. the problem he claimed he solved at that summit with kim jung-un, the president blamed china for stu stumbles and insists that he still has a fantastic kelgs relationsh relati relationship with the north korea i can't be dictator. >>> and don mcgahn preparing to leave his post. let's dig deeper with shimon prokupecz. could his departure impact the mueller investigation. >> >> any of that is possible.dt a lot of time with the president, and as we've said reported the last year their relationship has not been good, but don mcgahn was there when the president had ordered mueller fired. or at least that is what our reporting has said. when he was there and ordering that firing of robert mueller, mcgahn thought it was ill advised. there were other parts of the white house that mcgahn was being briefed on. so certainly with him gone now, a lot of time spent with the mueller team, they could decide that they may want to bring him back to see if anything new has come up. but certainly the idea that he had been already before the special counsel for 30 hours is pretty significant. and who knows what else. he could potentially provide other information since he has gone now. >> good point. key to what mueller has been investigating. >> absolute i labsolutely. he has been at the front row for everything. the comey firing rkt tinfiring, firing. also the relationship between the president and jeff sessions, a key part of the mueller investigation. we know that they have been looking at that. so don mcgahn has been through it all. he was there before the president was elected, during the campaign. obviously those -- that aspect of the investigation still ongoing. important to mueller. so mcgadon mcgahn with the two s that he has been there had the front row seat to a lot of the dealings, a lot of things that the president didscrutinized. >> thank you very much. and joining us now, a democratic senator of hi, key membawaii. senator, do you believe that the president is actually pushing out don mcgahn as part of an overall a effort to end the entire mueller probe? >> i know the president keeps trying to end the mueller probe, but anything that he does with regard to the mueller probe can be deemed part of an obstruction. so he should be very careful. on the other hand, we know don mcgahn had talked to the special counsel people for 30 hours. and now with the departure, he could very well be brought before the mueller people to ask what else. so anything that the president discusses with mcgahn now could be part of whatever further questions the mueller people have. >> do you think those 30 hours of testimony will be key to the mueller investigation. >> i think it will be one of the important aspects which has to continue without any swfrnany interference from the white house. >> you heard what the president said today. he said he is not worried about mcgahn's testimony. but sources have told cnn and we've been reporting this for a while that news of mcgahn's cooperation with mueller unnerved the president. should he be concerned about what the white house counsel revealed already and what he might still reveal? >> i think he should be concerned. not by what mcbegan kngahn know want to comment on what the president said. they say he followed the book and i think it is the president's book which involves a lot of lyinging. so it is not just mcgahn, but steve cohen -- >> michael cohen. >> yes. and manafort, all of these people. it is all a piece. >> do you think that the president is going to pardon paul manafort, his campaign chairman, who was krikconvicted eight counts? >> i think that the fact that the president continued to say very nice things about manafort, you'd think that he was hopeful that a pardon was coming forward. but i think that it would also be part of an obstruction assessment. >> the president said that mcgahn would be leaving after the brett kavanaugh confirmation. you're on that judiciary committee hearing. the hearings are supposed to continue next tuesday, wednesday, thursday. how do you plan to address the mueller probe in term tsz s of questioning of cavanaugh? some of these issues go up to the supreme court and he could play a role. >> i think it is in the context of what judge cavanaugh has said about the extent of executive privilege, executive powers and whether or not a sitting president can be subject to either criminal or civil proceedings. so, yes, there is an aspect to it that is very concerning. i think this is one of the reasons that the president selected judge cavanaugh over all ofof the federalist society potential nominees because judge cavanaugh is the only one who said, well, the president should not have to respond to criminal or civil proceedings while he or she is sitting. so i think that that has definitely been brought to this president's attention. and so i'm not surprised that he picked judge cavanaugh. all of these issues have got to be brought out in his hearing. and i intend to probe him on his positions regarding environmental protection laws. there are definite patterns to judge cavanaugh's dissents. >> and you will have a meeting with him, you but you decided to cancel. has it still been canceled? >> yes. and the reason remains. it was after the michael cohen guilty pleas and manafort's conviction on eight counts that i said considering that the president picked judge cavanaugh in my yview because of judge cavanaugh's position in terms of the president's powers and the limitations to any civil or criminal proceedings, i thought you know, the president did not deserve my sitting with his nominee, but of course i will be at the hearing and i will ask junk ca judge cavanaugh all kinds of questions relating to this and so many areas. >> but if he is confirmed everyone by a narrow margin, he will be in your eyes a legitimate u.s. supreme court justice? >> my saying that i would not meet with him has little to do with the legitimacy. the president gets to nominate. he has not been impeached. so that was not the reason that i chose not meet with judge kafr you cavanaugh. but the judge will have every opportunity under oath to put his best foot forward as to why he should be confirms as a sitting supreme court justice and probably the fifth vote and many 5-4 decision also that will come down the pike that will impact people's health care, voting rights and individual rights. certainly a woman's right to choose will be on the line. >> we'll have extensive live coverage of those hearings starting on tuesday. and i want to get your reaction to the republican gubernatorial candidate in florida what he said, this is ron desantis, he won last night in that election. he is being challenged by the democratic mayor of tallahassee andrew gillum who is african-american. listen to what desantis said earlier today on fox news. >> the last thing we need to do is to monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases and bankruptcying the state. >> monkey this untalking about an african-american challenger of the democratic gubernatorial candidate. some people say that is a racist dog whistle. what do you say? >> i say that it was conscious choice of words. and it is not just a dog whistle, it is a bull horn. >> what would you like congressman desantis to he sho. when people speak that way, they are really speaking their own -- where they are coming from. and to the extent that this nominee is very close to donald trump, i would say that birds of a feather flock together. >> senator, thank you very much. up next, there is more breaking news. now that don mcgahn is leaving, will the president feel free to make a move against the mueller investigation? and michael cohen goes from defiance to accept tabs seaccep. new information on why the president's former fixer pleaded guilty. this time, it's his turn. you have 4.3 minutes to yourself. this calls for a taste of cheesecake. philadelphia cheesecake cups. rich, creamy cheesecake with real strawberries. find them with the refrigerated desserts. i can do more to lower my a1c. because my body can still make its own insulin. i take trulicity once a week to activate my body to release its own insulin, like it's supposed to. trulicity is not insulin. it works 24/7. it comes in an easy-to-use pen. and i may even lose a little weight. trulicity is an injection to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. don't use it as the first medicine to treat diabetes, or if you have type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't take trulicity if you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, you're allergic to trulicity, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck or severe stomach pain. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases your low blood sugar risk. common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and decreased appetite. these can lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. to help lower my a1c i choose trulicity to activate my within. ask your doctor about once-weekly trulicity. to help lower my a1c i choose trulicity to activate my within. wmust have cost a lot. a fancy hotel. actually, i got a great deal. priceline saves you up to 60% on hotels, but that's something the hotels don't really want other guests to know. i saved about 120 dollars a night! did you say you saved 120 dollars a night on a room? 120 a night on a hotel room... that's a lot of savings! i saved even more on my flight. save up to 60% on hotels with priceline. >> more breaking news now as we learn new details about what led michael cohen last week to a stunning guilty plea. the plea ended months of speculation about the fate of the fixer. and now he has gone from defiance to acceptance. evan pervez here with us. wh factored into this decision is it. >> there has been an evolution. first he had planned to fight the charges. s about and you but as time went on and he realized the high talks, prosecutors raised the possibility that not only would they increase the number of charges that he could be charged with, but his wife was also being inch wiimplicated. and some of the documents were still being gone through. so if he waited perhaps until next year for them to finish doing all their document review, he will face a lot more trouble and more legal fees. has said that he would take a bullet for the president, but a friend of his says that he took a bullet for his family. that underscores what we're talks about. he now knows that he has to -- likely going to prison for at least some time as a result of pleading guilty to these charges in manhattan. >> he and his wife both signed their irs joint tax rueturns, right? maybe the authorities would go after her as well. >> that's right. they raised the prospects that she could face charges because she was implicated in some of these crimes. >> what is he thinking now as he awaits his sentencing? >> friends who have talked to mj lee says that he has essentially arrived at resignation, the idea that he is going to go to prison for some period of time as a result of pleading guilty. and he doesn't believe that he will get a presidential pardon. obviously that is a big thing with regard to anybody associated with president trump. he is sort of dangling this idea that there might be pardons in the offing. michael cohen is telling friends at least that he believe that's is not going to get one of those given the fact that the president has now essentially labeled him a rat. >> he certainly did. evan, thank you very much. coming up, there is breaking news after cooperating extensively with robert mueller, mcgadon mcgahn will soon leave post. what could that mean for the russia probe. and high school tas the death t nearly 3,000, president trump insists his administration did a fantastic job. how can we say when you book direct at choicehotels.com you always get the lowest price on our rooms, guaranteed?

>> it is not at serious as the depaur ch depaur chrture of someone like sessions. but mcgahn hasn't been able to control the president, but he has implied a constraints. so i think the big question is who does mcgahn get replaced with, whether somebody can bring the institutional discipline. are aren't a lot of people dying up to for this job. >> do you think the president will want to eventually pardon paul manafort? >> i wish i had that crystal ba ball. but i don't even think he knows that he will do. he is very impulsive. look, we know what don mcgahn has done in the white house. certainly has helped president trump and has helped with his legacy when it comes to the courts. and also that he prevented president trump from firing robert mueller. the new york times reported that. at this point though i think that donald trump would be best not to be trying to let paul manafort off the hook. we've seen people are not necessarily supportive of that idea. >> and mcgahn was influential on the president. who will have that influence in the white house if anyone once mcgahn is gone? >> greatest for anyone would be that the president ultimately cannot fully be con strastraine anyone. mcgahn did threaten to quit if the president were to fire thesome. but at the same time, he had as we know gone and tried to lobby jeff session not to recuse himself. so it is challenging because the president will probably try to replace him with a loyalist, but most importantly because the president has fundamental misunderstanding of this job. he thinks this is a personal attorney when this is a lawyer for the office of the presidency. the question will be even if trump does put someone in place who is more of an ally, does that person act at someone who will try to protect the president. >> and rudy giuliani is his personal attorney. mcgahn works for the u.s. government. he represents the office of the presidency. very important point on that. and you posted a very important article in the new york time tsz. a lot of news in that article. among other 24i7karticle, monda other things the relation shshi mcbegm mcgahn had with ivanka and jared trump. >> he had his relationships, but not helping matters has been the fact that ivanka and jared have not trusted him. felt like he needed to be gone from the mix. he was pushing back too much. and when we reported last week when my colleagues that the degree to which mcgahn has been investigation, answering questions, in the ways in which mr. trump's own lawyers had said that he could and should, i think that that was of great concern. ivanka expressed that concern to the president. and there is some talk around mcgahn and his allies that they believe it was her and folks who never trusted mcgahn who planted a story saying that he was on his way out to speaker weighper president. >> and out apparently without informing mcgahn. you also write in your article that the president actually wanted his former staff secretary rob porter to take that job, porter of course forced out after aeks allegations of xwles tidomestic. >> yes, don mcgahn has pushed back on the president.llegation domestic abuse. >> yes, don mcgahn has pushed back on the president. so there were various points where he would ask mcgahn to do things including fire mueller and do other things that he didn't think bwere appropriate. and the president was looking to someone who ehe could persuade o say yes. and rob porter said he didn't want for to do it, but it was ie context of finding someone not to say no to him. >> and the president said that he is not worried about the 30 hours of testimony that don mcgahn gave robert mueller and his team. she be worried? >> the subject of an investigation should always be concerning. mcgahn is in a position to know lots of information. he said that he didn't believe he implicated the president in any actual crimes, but he did provide some negative information. one of the challenges is you don't know how it fits in with other people's testimony. so i think what it does is raises the stakes for that ultimate interview. >> and cnn has reported the president was unsernerved when got word of the 30 hours of testimony. how much trouble is that for the president? >> an incredible amount of trouble. remember, he was there during pivotal points.e helping corrobe other testimony. he might have helped fill in the blanks and put together the narrative. and i think that is why this has taken so long. robert mueller is trying to get that pleat book. donald trump should be unnerved. >>> and we'll talk about donald trump again insisting that his administration did a fantastic job in puerto rico. and the white house released a statement saying that there is growing concern his deal about kim jung-un may be in serious trouble. oh! oh! ♪ ozempic®! ♪ (vo) people with type 2 diabetes are excited about the potential of once-weekly ozempic®. in a study with ozempic®, a majority of adults lowered their blood sugar and reached an a1c of less than seven and maintained it. oh! under seven?

jim acosta is standing by. jim, as close confidants turn against the president, he must be feeling a lot of pressure. >> reporter: pressure is on, wolf. it is another legal blow for president trump in a week that has been critical in the russia investigation. and the president is continuing to take out his frustrations on attorney general jeff sessions. my colleagues here at the white house and i are told that the president has been fuming about firing his attorney general as recently as the last few weeks but so far he's been talked off the ledge. president trump remains silent as he left with the first lady for a speech in ohio with a growing list of legal worries hot on his tail. >> my chief financial officer allen weisselberg. >> reporter: the latest concern, federal prosecutors granted immunity to allen weisselberg. more critically, he is the long time chief financial officer of the trump organization, the private company whose finances are cloaked in secrecy. a source on the legal team down played the cooperation which could be crucial as prosecutors unravel the plot helmed by michael cohen to funnel hush money to women alleging affairs with the president. the attorney for one of the women, stormy daniels, michael avenatti, believes more may be at stake. >> the only reason to give immunity to mr. weisselberg is looking beyond michael cohen. they would need potentially his testimony and cooperation to look at someone else higher up the food chain if you will. there's only one person that that is likely to be and that is donald trump. >> do you think you're a -- >> reporter: cohen can be heard on a radio tape obtained by cnn talking to mr. trump about weisselberg, the apparent subject, making payments to cover up the past behavior. >> i've spoken to allen weisselberg about how to set the whole thing up with -- >> what are we going to do? >> with funding. yes. and it's all the stuff. >> reporter: a big question is how the president decides to respond. he once told "the new york times" an investigation in the family's finances would cross a red line. >> mueller's looking at your finances and family's finances unrelated to russia, is that a red line? >> that would be a breach of the actual -- i would say yes. >> i would say yes. >> the president sources say has fumed for months to fire attorney general jeff sessions. one day after sessions insisted the justice department would remain independent, mr. trump appeared to mock that notion tweeting, department of justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations. jeff, this is great. what everyone wants. so look into all the corruption on the other side. adding, come on, jeff. you can do it. the country is waiting firefighter. >> the president's had the executive branch and he decides who serves in his cabinet and to continue to criticize the attorney general i think makes the president appear weak. >> reporter: a person keeping a safe distance, vice president pence. who steered clear of mr. trump's legal turmoil at a speech in washington. instead pence advised the crowd to get the news from word of mouth not the media. >> i hold the view that the most powerful media in america is not television news. it's not the internet or social media. i've always believed and still believed the most powerful media in america has always been and will be word of mouth. >> reporter: the president declined to speak to reporters before leaving for ohio this afternoon but the image of his departure did speak volumes even amidst the questions of porn stars and payoffs this week. the president was joined by the first lady right at his side. wolf? >> jim, thank you. jim acosta over at the white house. more now on truly stunning news that the chief financial officer for the trump organization in new york, allen weisselberg, given immunity. let's bring in cnn's kara scandel. how significant is this? >> reporter: wolf, when he was subpoenaed last month for testimony in the investigation of michael cohen, a former trump organization employee told cnn that this was the ultimate nightmare scenario for trump because what weisselberg knows anything and everything about the trump organization's finances. and, wolf, that's because he is the trump organization's chief financial officer. he's been with the company for decades. he's even worked with trump's father before he joined trump's organization. he -- when trump became the president, he put weisselberg in control of the company along with the two sons and his knowledge is not just at the trump organization. he's helped prepare donald trump's taxes and he's a treasurer of the trump found dec

julie: here's jim ellis. jimthe biggest challenge is calming the markets down that he can be the ceo that sergio was. he was a ceo's ceo. he was a world traveler and a guy who was taking care of companies on two sides of the atlantic. he was a guy in the auto business was as close to steve jobs as you could get. he was a person who made outsized projections and surprisingly, in recent years, he has been able to meet them. the notion he could take chrysler, which always ran in the u.s. market, and turn it into something that was a respectable profitable company, was surprising. a lot of people didn't think it could happen simply because european automakers have never been thought of as the most efficient in the world and the best managers in the world. he became a star from that. he took what was not one of the top companies in the world and basically built one by taking a remnant of a company that a lot of people thought was a has-been from the u.s., and suddenly he has a global player. taylor: manley has a task

jim cramer jim pressed johnson on the deal and asked how it fits into the company's growth plans in china overall. >> let's say you're a shareholder of starbucks you have seen the starbucks trajectory in china go from high single digits to mid, to low, to minus 2. can we listen to this announcement and presume you can get back on a trajectory of positive same-store sale numbers in china >> i'll remind you in china last quarter we posted a 17% top line growth most of the growth of transactions in china is coming from the new store growth. yes, we did have a negative 2% same-store sales comp last quarter. but, you know, if i look at what we're doing with ale aibaba andh digital flywheel, this is like rocket fuel for the digital flywheel in china. this will be an accelerator for our business no doubt >> you can hear more from jim'sview with kevin johnson later today on "squawk on the street." >>> still to come, a double dose of ipos to put on your radar for this thursday. >>> and a super swimmer, a 10-year-old boy broke a record that michael phelps held for 23 years. there's so much more to this or wllell you how coming up it's all so... smart. but how do you work with it? ask this farmer. he's using satellite data to help increase crop yields. that's smart for the food we eat. at this port, supply chains are becoming more transparent with blockchain. that's smart for millions of shipments. in this lab, researchers are working with watson to help them find new treatments. that's smart for medicine. at this bank, the world's most encrypted mainframe is helping prevent cybercrime. that's smart for everyone. and in africa, iot sensors and the ibm cloud are protecting endangered animals. that's smart for rhinos. yeah. rhinos. because smart only really matters, when we put it to work- not just for a few of us, but fo

jim acosta. >>> jim, the criminal investigations hanging over the president right now are hitting him closer to home. >> reporter: that's right, wolf. it appears that prosecutors are following the money. this is undoubtedly another legal blow for president trump in what's been a critical week. the president is continuing to take out his frustrations. my colleagues and i are told that the president has fuming about firing the attorney general as recently as the last few weeks, but so far the president has been talked off the ledge. president trump remains silent as he left with the first lady for a speech in ohio. >> as my chief financial officer, alan weisel better. >> reporter: immunity has been granted to mr. weisselberg. he's the longtime chief financial officer of the trump organization, the president's private companies whose finances are cloaked in secrecy. prosecutors unravel the plot held by michael cohen to funnel hush money to women alleging affairs with the president. the attorney for one of those women, michael avenatti, believes more could be at stake. >> the only reason for give immunity is they were looking beyond michael cohen. there's only one person that is likely to be, and that is donald trump. >> are you a hero? do you think you're a hero now? >> reporter: cohen can be heard on an audiotape tiking about weisselberg, the apparent subject, making payments to cover up the president's past behavior. >> i have spoken about how to set the whole thing up with funding --. >> reporter: the big question is how does the president decide to respond in he once tolls "new york times" that an investigation creeping into his family finances would cross a line. >> reporter: looking into your family's finances unrelated to russia, is that a red line? >> would that be a breach of what the actual -- >> i would say yes. >> reporter: sources tell the cnn the president has fumed for month that he would like to fire attorney general jeff sessions. one days after jeff sessions insisted the justice department would remain independent, mr. trump appeared to mock that statement. jeff, this is great, what everyone wants. look into the corruption on the other side, adding, c'mon, jeff, you can do it. the country is waiting. >> he decides who serves in his cabinet. to continue to criticize the attorney general i think makes the president appear weak. >> reporter: one person keeping a safe distance, vice president pence, who steered clear of mr. trump's legal turmoil. instead he adviced the crowd to get their news from word of mouth, not the media. >> i hold the view that the most powerful media in america is not television news, it's not the internet or social media. i have always believed and stilled believe the most powerful media has been and always will be word of mouth. >> reporter: now, the president declined to speak to reporter before leaving. even amid st. all the conversations, the president was joined by the first lady. she was right by his side. >> jim acosta, thank you very much. >>> let's dip deeper into the immunity deal. our national correspondent athena jones joins us right now. what did prosecutors want to know from weisselberg that would have required an immunity deal? >> hi, wolf. a source familiar tells us that weisselberg's interview happened weeks ago and that it focused on michael cohen and the hush money payments to two women who said they had affairs with trump, which trump denies. weisselberg is a major player, in the secret reporting from a few weeks ago, cohen says he consulted with weisselberg, and in the plea deal, he's referred to as executive one, who arranged $420,000 in payments to cohen to pay him back for the payment he made to stormy daniels. he wrote -- please pay from the truth, post to legal expenses when he forwarded the invoices to another executive. it's very clear that he's played a key role. >> athena how big a there et to president trump is it that prosecutors are talking to weisselberg? >> this is

jim acosta. jim, the president can't get over a grudge. >> that's right, wolf. president trump put his bitter feelings for john mccain on full view saying repeatedly in front of the cameras to say a kind word throughout the weekend and today, the flags were lowered to half staff, then raised again, overnight, this morning, then only to be lowered this afternoon as we all saw here at the white house, when mr. trump issued the proclamation. it was painfully obvious the president was nursing a nasty grudge. >> mr. president, any comment on john mccain, sir? mr. president, why won't you call john mccain a hero, sir? >> reporter: the two words capable of hitting the mute button on president trump, john mccain. at five different photo-opes, the president was asked to comment on the late senator. and each time, mr. trump greeted the question with stone faced silence. >> make your way out. >> reporter: the president's harsh feelings for john mccain have been hard to miss, even in the days since the senator passed away. mr. trump posted a tweet, my deepest sympathies and respect go to the family of senator john mccain. our hearts and prayers are with you. a longer statement was drafted, but not used. the flags at the white house brought to half staff were brought to full staff, then half staff in the afternoon. the president issued a statement brief, but ordering the flags half staff. despite differences on policy and politics, i respect his service to our country. this came after the head of the american legion released a statement saying on behalf of the wartime veterans, i strongly urge you to make a presidential proclamation noting his death and legacy of service to the nation. for mr. trump, a continuation of assault on the former prisoner of war. >> he's not a war hero. he's a war hero because he was captured. i like people who weren't captured. >> the bone spurs kept the president out of vietnam. >> one aspect that i will never, ever, is that we drafted the lowest income level of america and the highest income level found a doctor that would say that they had a bone spur. that is wrong. >> reporter: the president nursed a grudge against mccain for voting not to repeal obamacare. >> we had a gentleman late into the morning hours, go thumbs down. that was not a good thing he did. that was not a good thing for our people, our country, whether you are a democrat or republican. >> reporter: in a stark contrast with her father, ivanka trump praised mccain in a speech, calling him a hero. >> the nation is united in grief and the world mourns the loss of a true hero and great statesman. >> reporter: trump loyalists. >> the president put out a flowery statement, the media would criticize it saying it's not consistent with things said in the past. >> reporter: it was a sign of the times for the gop as he claimed barack obama was not born in the u.s., it was the senator who took the high road and told the truth. >> he's an arab. he is not -- no? >> no, ma'am. no, ma'am. >> reporter: instead of taking time to praise mccain, the president phoned the leaders in mexico. >> i believe the president is on the phone. enrique? >> reporter: the white house tried to change the subject, pointing to a trade deal with mexico, that is aimed at replacing nafta. >> i think nafta had a lot of bad con notations with the united states because it was a rip off. it was a horrible deal for our country. >> reporter: asked earlier in the day why more was not done for john mccain, they said the president did issue that tweet. the white house came to the realization the tweet was not enough. make no mistake, the president and his team had every opportunity to get it right. it took 48 hours for the white house to do what could have been done saturday, issue a full, respectful statement honoring mccain in a statement that orders flags to be flown at half staff. this was not what john mccain deserved, he deserved better. >> enormous pressure. jim acosta, thanks very much. the senate convened without john mccain. lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are mourning john mccain and recalling his service to the country. in a farewell statement, john mccain left behind a powerful message to the american people. let's go live. clearly emotional moments on capitol hill. >> reporter: extremely emotional moments, wolf. john mccain was a giant in the senate. we have heard comments and reaction for colleagues give tribute to them and will continue for some time. this, as the mccain family released details of his memorial services for the latter half of the week starting in phoenix on wednesday, coming in for ceremonies in washington, d.c., then his final resting place in annapolis, maryland, where he will be buried on sunday. the legacy of senator, john mccain. >> moral support. really, that's what john mccain gave this body and this country, for so long. his memory will continue to give it. >> reporter: palpable in the halls of congress

jim acosta. jim, a remarkable and disturbing attack by the president on the russia probe. what's the latest? >> reporter: that's right, wolf the white house is flat declining to say more about this besides what sarah sanders said during the briefing earlier the president has not talked more about this after putting this tweet out. earlier today the white house is saying the president was not trying to obstruct justice. judge for yourself, let's put the tweet up on screen. this is what the president put out earlier today. this is a terrible circumstance attorney general jeff sessions should stop this rigged witch hunt right now, before it continues to sustain our country any further. bob mueller is totally conflicted. the president going on to say this is a disgrace to the united states of america. sarah sanders was pressed on this by multiple reporters during the briefing earlier toochld here's what she had to say. >> it's not an order, it's the president's penalties. it's ridiculous all of the corruption an dishonesty that's gone on with the launching of the witch hunt. the president is not obstructing. he's fighting back. >> reporter: now, of course, it's obviously not a witch hundred. it's a let legitimate investigation that's resulted in prosecution and got please and paul manafort, the president's campaign chairman is on trial over his business dealings. there are concerns in the trump world with the prosecutors squeezing paul manafort, he may flip against the president. all of that may be motivating this behavior on behalf of mr. trump. rudy guiliani, the outside lawyer, he was asked about this the president he said was just exercising his right to defend himself. here's what guiliani lad hoo ha. >> he is a person with a first amendment right to express himself and express his penalties and as a president it's even more he expresses his penalties. because these kind of allegations can do damage to the country. not just to the particular president. if he believes she innocent and he is innocent, she should speak out. >>. >> reporter: now, of course, wolf, we should point out jeff sessions the attorney general has recuse. in the russia investigation. obviously, this is not the first time the pvt. of the united states has put the full weight of the presidency into trying to push jeff sessions into doing some of. this of course, the million dollar question is whether he takes action tries to shut it down by pulth pressure whether or not republicans control congress. affect, that is something we don't know it would have to happen for the entire nation and the world to watch to see whether republicans in control of congress would do next, wolf. >> you know what, jim, what did sarah sanders say at the briefing today about the treatment of the press, the news media at public rallies? >> reporter: well, wolf, as you know, this was all unfolgd live on your show at around 5:00 last night, we started to feel the heat from the trump rally down in tampa, florida. a number of the reporters were hurling insults at us, verbally abusing us for most of the night, chanting cnn sucks and fake news and so on, acting in a threatening way from time to time. sarah sanders was asked about this during the briefing. she essentially bafb the green light to these supporters to continue this behavior at these rallies. keep in mind, there is a rally he is holding in wilkesberre, pennsylvania, tomorrow night. i should point out she did not -- we do not have that video right now. when she was asked about this earlier today, wolf, she said that while the press that is right to freedom of the press. the people at these rallies have freedom of smepeech, rights, th have freedom

jim red ac. [cheering] pres. trump: great people. they are great people. for the senate, we have to get jim. we have to get him in. senator brown is not going to vote for our judge. we have a great judge. we love justice gorsuch. now we have soon to be justice kavanaugh. we need jimchanting] pres. trump: vote for jim. we have to get jim and there. he is an important guide. also here with us tonight, is ohio speaker of the house ryan smith. ryan, thank you. [cheering] pres. trump: thank you, ryan. ohio senate president, larry. larry, thank you. bob do check, i love bob. bob ran my campaign in ohio, you know that right? [cheering] pres. trump: and he was recommended along with five or six people and they were all recommended and i said, i don't know. one person said something about him that i liked. they said he never quits. he never gives up. bob, i didn't have the governor support, i didn't have the senate support, i didn't have your head of the republican party risk -- the republican party support. other than i was doing well p bob says it does not matter because you have the people support. he said so. [cheering] pres. trump: you remember that great night in november? remember? [cheering] pres. trump: when they said after hearing so much about ohio, and it is t

jim comey, that the president of the united states comes up with pretextual reasons to you cover up the real reason he wants to do something. we saw that last year when he fired jim comey and he had rod rosenstein do a memo and he may have agreed with the memo or not, saying jimey was fireable because he didn't treat hillary clinton well. that is ultimately not the reason donald trump fired jim comey. this is another piece in the puzzle to someone trying to put together a picture of attempted obstruction. >> the white house says the president was just expressing an opinion, his first amendment rights. what do you say to that? >> that's one of the sillier things that i've heard. obviously everyone has a first amendment right to say what they want but in certain contexts it's not about expression, it's about direction, as you sit at the top of government and you have underneath you a cabinet secretary to whom -- who reports to. so for example, would it be first amendment free speech if at a meeting he directed the attorney general, that speech too, directed the attorney general to prosecute an adversary or let go of someone who's an ally? the mere fact that someone is using their mouth and expressing themselves in english does not necessarily mean you're implic

jim tankersly. jim, the president promised to fix america's crumbling infrastructure when he was on the campaign trail. he laid out a plan in february. where does it stand? >> it's dead. there's no plan in washington right now, at least until after the midterms. this is not something that the administration has made a priority. it's not something that the president himself has made a priority. and congress has certainly not made a priority. which is interesting, because there's a probably a deal to be had at some point between republicans and democrats about infrastructure. but this is not going to be that year. >> it's his one area of expertise, he's a builder. and this is it should have bipartisan for, jim. building these things is good for commerce, good for people, good for the economy, good for transportation. why do we have such difficulty getting these done? i think we've had at least two infrastructure weeks. >> we've had a lot of infrastructure weeks. we haven't had a lot of serious talks about how to fund an infrastructure bill. everybody agrees, well, not everyone, but most people in washington believes the government need to do more for infrastructure. the question is does the government pay for it through taxes? does government basically put a couple of carrots out there and hope private industry comes in and fill in the rest, as the president wanted? these are big issues to debate, and they're not even having that discussion, about how to fund it. >> if the president is looking to serve his base, this would do just that, when you think about rural america where there aren't jobs, where there isn't fast wi-fi, this would be an structur extraordinary fix. it would suit what pr

jim ellis. jim: the biggest challenge for manly is calming the markets down that he can be the ceo that sergio was. sergio was a ceo's ceo. he was a world traveler and a guy who was taking care of companies on two sides of the atlantic. he was a guy in the auto business was as close to steve jobs as you would ever get. he was a person who made outsized projections and surprisingly, in recent years, he has been able to meet them. the notion he could take chrysler, which was always and also-ran in the u.s. market, and turn it into something that was a respectable profitable company, was surprising. a lot of people didn't think it could happen simply because european automakers have never been thought of as the most efficient in the world and the best managers in the world. and he became a star from that. he took what was not one of the top companies in the world and basically built one by taking a remnant of a company that a lot of people thought was a has-been from the u.s., and suddenly he has a global player. taylor: manley has a task of not only also calming the markets after the sudden death but also leading the company. part of that company is going to china, where they have been struggling. what is their biggest struggle when it comes to china? jimth china, they are late. in that sense, he is starting from behind. that is the surprise about him. the light was so bright at having done this great trick with chrysler, that people forgot that he had missed out on building a business in the largest auto market in the world. a lot of people concentrate on the u.s., but china is where all the growth is. the u.s. was stuck at about 17.5 million cars per year, and it is probably never going to go up. instead, china will continue to grow. all of the auto makers have been aggressively looking at ways to expand their exposure. gm gets about 45% of its unit sales in china. chrysler-fiat is only about 5%. he is starting late, so he is going to have to do a lot to build up a dealer network there. and he is going to have to find a way to get more people in china to want to buy large suvs. that is tough over there because there is a big push on fuel economy. he also has to find a way to get electrification to be a bigger piece of the chrysler bu
