diplomat jim john trance who can kind of give us some insight on this first of all just disclosure here i can't believe it is even in our news right now but the white house presumably has a high level of security how is it possible that someone was able to secretly record in the situation room one of the most secure areas of the white house. as i understand it first off the entire area where the executive office of the president operates is a secure area and the people who are in there are all cleared personnel and are expected to behave ethically as far as taking a device into the situation room that would normally not be done i'm not sure would be any procedure through or specifically checking that unless some highly classified matter were about to be discussed in there and maybe they would take other precautions but normally you would you wouldn't expect you need to do that with people that are supposed to be there in a position of trust and it is a significant breach of trust for someone to be taking those steps that's for sure so do you think that the white house will change its se

diplomat jim john. for more on this jim good to have you with us so. i'm a bit confused about this story how concerned should the u.s. be over the sale of the four hundred system to turkey i mean and why should they be concerned at all. well depends on your point of view sean i mean there has grown up a mentality in washington that. there's something any country that we don't like those sanctions is somehow a non-war option and of course it really is a form of warfare economic warfare that we can slap on to that country and that it's somehow a three b. it's something we can do to other countries but they really can't do back to us she really is kind of the tool of choice a one size fits all in the case of turkey there are many things frankly i don't think this is about this pastor brunson or all i think there are many other issues between the united states and turkey but this is something we routinely do with with friends as well as with countries that were not so friendly with so in terms of allies i mean famously supposedly the u.s. and turkey are al

diplomat jim john just told us that the primary reason for washington's anger over on crowe's purchase of us for hundreds is that it undermines america's attempts to isolate russia. the people behind these policies do not look at russia as a partner at all they look at it as an adversary and that their goal is essentially regime change in russia buying russian weapons is not bad because they are a competitor for business they're bad because there is essentially a full scale political warfare being carried on against the russian federation by the agencies of the american government i don't know that this is nationally what president trump wants but it certainly wanted hartman of state department of treasury and other organs of the government want and. purchase of russian weapons is that because russia is bad i think that not only with regard to arms purchases but every other excuse we can think of we will find ways to put new sanctions on russia or countries and companies the deal with russia. in french a journalist has been speaking out about the issue of discrimination on accommodatio

diplomat jim john trust told us the primary reason for washington's anger over on crowe's purchase of as for hundreds is that it undermines america's attempts to isolate russia. the people behind these policies do not look at russia as a partner at all they look at it as an adversary and that their goal is essentially regime change in russia buying russian weapons is not bad because they're a competitor for business they're bad because there is essentially a full scale political warfare being carried on against the russian federation by the agency is that the american government i don't know that this is nationally what president trump wants but it certainly wanted hartman of state department of treasury and other organs of the government want and the purchase of russian weapons is bad because russia is bad i think that not only with regard to arms purchases but every other excuse we can think of we will find ways to put new sanctions on russia or countries and companies the deal with russia. in french a journalist has been speaking out about the issue of discrimination on accommodati

diplomat jim john trust says the new sanctions are all about politics on to have nothing to do with this group poisoning i would go so far to say that the u.s. government like the british government knows very well that the russians were not responsible for this and this is this is a political demand this is designed to undercut the overtures from the trumpet ministration for president trump directly and also senator rand paul now in moscow to warm relations with it with russia and this is a way to undercut that by making accusations against russia that are not only false but there's no way they can disprove president trump would like to have a good relationship with russia i think senator paul would like to have a good relationship with russia and they're being coltrane hers for wanting it that they're being attacked personally their loyalties being attacked for reaching out to russia in this way as a political ploy to conduct essentially a kind of a warfare against russia and i think the people in the kremlin know that i think they know there's nothing they can do nothing they can say

diplomat jim john chancellor think security at the white house may have to be increased. it's something i'm afraid we'll have to consider now look i think there is an element of truth here in terms of the backbiting the backstabbing the contentious contention that goes on in this white house but frankly to some extent i think has gone on in other white houses well i think maybe it's worse in this one partly because of the sea jabba's fear that the trumpet ministration has experienced from day one and had to be honest knowing some of the people that are that are in that situation i'm not sure they're all as any more trustworthy than. the suicide bomber has detonated explosives at the office of the electoral commission in the afghan capital people had gathered there to protest the disqualification of multiple candidates running in parliamentary elections journalist civil tongue five zero reports now from kabul. some of the supporters of those candidates who were disqualified from to run for the parliamentarian elections they were they were gathering in a nearby the independ

there was diane nash, jim babble, marian berry, john lewis, we all ended up at the same time. and jim lawson came down to nashville and started training us in nonviolence and we focused specifically on the sit-in counters. and that's what the whole training was about, how do you desegregate the counters? it was actually not until 1960 that we actually had a sit in protest. we were testing and that's what we learned. you go down and sit in and you find out what the reaction would be. and then you come back to the church and you role play. have a little play. people are yelling at you and screaming at you and pulling you off the stools and stuff like that. it was only actually about a decade ago that i realized the purpose of that. that was to train your emotions. it was like boot camp. getting you prepared, because sometimes you might want to do something. but you get into the situation and you lose it. that's what people say, i lost it. you know what did you lose? you lost control over yourself. so that was one of the things that we learned to do. is the first of all control yo

the president also sending chief of staff john kelly, defense secretary jim mattis and john bolton toend other services in mccain's honor on saturday. the senator will have a memorial service in his honor at the national cathedral in washington. on sunday, a private burial ceremony at the u.s. naval academy where senator mccain will be laid to rest. the president not attending any of those services. but he did yesterday offer a belated tribute to senator mccain saying in a brief statement that he ex-- expressing his respect for the senator's service to the country, that came nearly 48 hours after senator mccain passed away. the president initially refused to release a lengthy statement honoring senator mccain's service to the united states. he was urged yesterday in particular by several senior officials to release a statement. one source familiar with the matter tells me this morning that white house press secretary sarah sanders, john kelly, were particularly effective in urging the president to release this statement yesterday saying that the president respects mccain's service. th

jim wright together on november 22, 1963. the two men had a relationship and knew each other prior to this, when john f. kennedy was running for congress and had just published his book "profiles in courage." jim wright was in congress and had a local television show where he would invite guests and to speak about prominent issues. it was a way to keep in touch with his constituents while for one episode he hosted john f. kennedy, who had just published this book. he has an interview with him on "profiles in courage." >> hello, this is congressman jim wright in another series of five-minute interviews with people who are doing things in washington. i think i have a particular treat for you today. one of the most significant books to be published in recent months was written by a senator. the title of the book is "profiles in courage." it catalogs the story of events in the lives of such great americans as daniel webster, sam houston, robert h taft, and others. i think you would rather hear about it from the man who wrote the book and our author is our guest today. the very distinguished senator from the

you're up, man >> caller: jim cramer. old johne jersey shore down the road from where you live. >> absolutely. ocean grove's finest what's up? >> caller: okay. i'm an old admirer and mentor of yours going back to the radio shows. >> oh, geez, a long time ago how can i help >> caller: your opinion on tootsie roll had it for years bought it -- >> everyone keeps thinking that one day they're going to get a bid. they don't have a lot of growth. without a bid they're going to flat line. what can i say i can't recommend if i don't think the earnings are exploding, and i don't see them exploding. edward >> caller: hey, jim i bought green stock. they beat earnings but the stock keeps following. do i hold or sell? >> it makes no sense to me that this thing keeps getting killed. i have to do work on it. i mean, i don't know it seemed like a good fintech name when it came public it's not work. let me do work i need to go to rich from new jersey rich >> caller: greetings from stone harbor, new jersey >> oh, many my philadelphians love stone h

brazil in brussels it was a pleasure to talk to you jim and john has begun a tour of three former soviet republics she's visiting georgia nina and i said by john they all would have been caught up in ethnic conflicts and territorial disputes in recent security issues are high on matters agenda spent as political and economic relations she's beginning had in georgia the country has repeatedly expressed interest in joining the european union and is also cooperating with nato as it seeks protection from its much launch a new russia. chief political editor michel a coup for her is in the georgian capital tbilisi where mechanised just wrapped up her talks with prime minister mahmoud abbas see and president. bill ashley and much of what did the chance to see about a tall. pledge that she would keep helping georgia that the e.u. would keep helping georgia in its economic development something she sees as key but what really the prime minister wants to hear into b.c. is another pledge towards potential future nato membership that is something that nato committed itself to already that is somethi

facts are not in the eye of the beholder. >> they are. >> now, john brennan responded, jim, saying he believes this is directly tied to the criticism of president trump. he said it won't deter him going forward and he does fear this is sending a message to those who have the security clearances that they ought to hold their tongues. jim? >> one thing they have in common on the list, criticized the president. kaitlan collins at the white house, thank you. let's go in depth now with shim shim shimon. the director of national intelligence, dan coats, i'm told was not consulted on this decision. i'm also told that the cia was in the words of an official with knowledge caught off guard by this decision. has this ever happened before? a president revoking a senior official's security clearance and threatening to do that to others? >> no. not that we know of and seems to be unprecedented appears. by all accounts. you have talked to people. i have talked to people, a national security lawyer who says that there's no reasoning, no cause here. you would need cause to revoke someone's security c

john f. kennedy gave a speech in front of the hotel. and jim wright was part of the delegation with president kennedy at the speech. he also went to the fort worth convention center for the jim chamber of commerce prayer breakfast that day that kennedy spoke at. there are other photographs of president kennedy and jim wright together on the two men had a november 22, 1963. relationship ended in each other prior to this, when the john f. was running for congress and had just published his book, " "profiles of courage." jim wright had a local television show where he would invite guests and speak about prominent issues. it was a way to keep in touch with his constituents. for one episode, he actually hosted john f. kennedy, who had just published this book and had "onnterview with him, profiles of courage," on the program. >> hello, this is congressmen jim wright, with another of the series of interviews with people who are doing fine things in washington. i have a particular treat for you today, one of the most significant books to be published

john. so i think i'm going to leave it at that. i think it's an amazing seat, jim, when you think about it. arizona has given our country some fantastic leaders. and just that seat, we went from barry goldwater to john mccain. you know, when barry retired, we all thought, boy, you could never fill those shoes, could you? and john filled those shoes. we've given this country a lot of great leaders, missouri udoll and the list goes on and on. our governor is a solid leader and he's going to make his choice. it's his choice to make and then we'll all get behind it. >> let me ask you this then more generally. would you like to see a man or woman who represents what mccain represented to fill that seat? >> absolutely. and i think all of the mccain world feels that way. i mean john won the seat. he won it, what, six times and he won it going away every time, so i think the people in arizona made it very clear as far as that seat for this time they want that kind of leader there. and so, yeah, i think that's -- that would be our preference for all of us. where it goes bey

vice president mike s., defense secretary jim mattis, adviser john bolton attending to represent the trump administration. google blatantly suppressing conservative media outlets from american searching for trump and the site to show interesting places. 96% of the results are national left-wing media in the first 100 results and it appears most frequently. 21 times following by "washington post" and nbc. that is tough going. joining us tonight, social media stars, president trump most loyal supporters, diamond and silk. great to see you in great to have you with us. i take it that you are not surprised of that google is, well, sort of handing conservatives from their search results with president trump. >> no, it is not surprising. and to us it is tyranny. he had been media outlet along with google take it in their suppressing voices of conservatives. not only that, but pages where we can be president trump for good news about what is going on in our country when it comes to this president. i am not for big government, but i do believe the government should step in and really check t

diane, jim, marion and john ended up there at the same time. he came down and trained us in nonviolence. we focused specifically on the sit in. that is what the training was about. it was actually not until 1960 that we actually had a sit in, protest. you go down and you sit in and you find out what the reaction will be. then you come back to the church and you role-play. you have a little play on what would happen. people yelling at you and screaming at you and stuff like that. it was about a decade ago that i realized that was a train of emotions. it was like boot camp getting you prepared because sometimes you might want to do something but to get into the situation you will lose it. that is what people say, i lost it. you lost control over yourself. that was one of the things that we learned to do. first of all, control yourself. there is ways you can do that. that is what we did. we practice controlling ourselves in extreme situations. we had self-control. you can control yourself and you have a great possibility of controlling the situati

john brennen. i've covered jim clapper, these are not men who scare easily, these are not men who cry wolf. the fact that they are out there shouting at the top of their lungs day after day at this point, that this man is a threat to our nation's rule of law, and our democratic institutions is something that we should be focused on. >> well, david, let's talk a little bit more about that, because former cia national security agency director michael hayden told cnn today that the relationship between trump and the intelligence community is dangerously close to being permanently broken. how dangerous is it -- the state of relations between the president and the intelligence community, that it's so bad that it's at risk of being permanently broken? >> one of the dangers here is that there is the fear -- and i haven't heard this directly from many people, because thankfully most of the people still doing national security currently are putting their heads down and doing their job, trying to protect national security. but the fear that has to be there is, if we start down a road of revoking secu

jim w together. the two men knew each other and had a relationship prior to this when john f. kennedy was running for congress and had just publishes book "profiles in courage." was in congress and had a local television show where he would invite guest and speak about common issues, and it was a way to keep in touch with his constituents. for one episode, he hosted john f. kennedy, who had just published this book and had an interview with him on his television program. wright: hello, this is with anotherm one of these five-minutewright right with, -- jim w another one of these five-minute interviews. i think i have a treat for you today. this book is written by a senator. the title is "profiles in courage." it chronicles the lives of such americans as daniel webster, cap, and others. i think you would rather hear about it from the man who wrote the book, and the author is our guest, a very distinguished senator from the state of massachusetts, the honorable john f. kennedy. kennedy: it's my honor. men knew each other and had a rapport. that makes these photographs even more

>> john, i think this, as jim clapper said this morning, is a stunningly candid and disturb ing admission on the president's part and what we saw with the revocation of john brennan's security clearance is an effort to silence and intimidate critics. i don't think as we've seen this morning with john brennan's op-ed it won't be successful in silencing those who are threatened and on what does appear to be an enemies list. the thing i'm most concerned about, though, john is not about john brennan's security clearance, jim clapper's or mine or any former officials. the concern i have is the message this sends to career intelligence officials, career intelligence professionals and law enforcement professionals whose job it is to do independent work free from political influence, whose job it is to speak truth to power. to tell the unvarnished -- give their unvarnished assessments and what these threats amount to is sending a message to people that if they give uncomfortable assessments and pass uncomfortable messages up the chain that they should beware that there's going to be retaliation a

jim comey's mind, john brennan's mind.e played a role in this as well but what we do know so far no one marshalled any public evidence that there was any collusion between the trump campaign and russia. you know, mr. mueller himself has now made several indictments of russian nationals meddling in the election. both times he has done that the department of justice went out of its way there was no evidence ever an american involved in any of these schemes. i think they got a couple things pieced together. they particularly liked this candidate running and they decided to go nuclear on it, even though they never met the standards for the investigation they were conducting. trish: could this have all been to a certain extent planted and planned by the russians themselves? they might have done this on either side, right? they might have put up decoys, whoever won the election, the other side would be angry enough, think it was not deserved and there were bits and pieces you could trail back to say oh, that's why, whether hilla

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

concerning, not only are we undermining in a sense, freedom of expression and as jim points out, we're not thinking about the john brennans and jim clappers, but so many other career officers who may be formers. may be working in the defense industry for the broader defense of the united states government. but as you point out, the bruce orr's of the world, that means if they feel chilled could be undermining the institutions and their ability to protect against these types of violations on our principles. >> you're talking about the president saying people are making big bucks, there are many many people former intelligence people who work for military companies or companies doing business with the u.s. government that do rely on having a clearance. and a lot of that is work which does -- and whether you like it or not, it does -- it is part of the u.s. government. it benefits the united states, whether you like the policies or not. >> yeah, part of our national security structure without question. >> if i could just add one point here to this discussion. another one of the enemies list, is mike hayden, and i wo

and that's exactly what's going on with john. >> jim sciutto reports that the director of national intelligence dan coats that he was not consulted on this decision at all. what does that say to you about how legitimate the security concerns might actually be here? >> yeah. unl, after this started a couple what the agencies would do about what was threatened at that time. they have to do things for cause. they can't just make stuff up. that's the first i heard that the dni wasn't consulted but that's absolutely consistent with my instincts when i first saw the reports of the press conference. but i have to quickly add this is the president's call. he has absolute authority on this. and so you can't appeal his right to make this decision. i just think -- well, let me put it to you this way. i think it's bad for himme. not just for other folks involved. >> how's it bad for him? >> well, i mean, the dignity of the office, the office derives a lot of its power from the dignity of the office that is maintained and the restraint that is exercised by the occupant of the office even though he's the mos

i believe that is the secretary of defense, jim mattis just behind john mccain there.ey are watching. this is the scene right now. we'll just watch along with the rest you right no [ silence ] >> all right. so you saw that along with the rest us. the honor guard carrying the casket over to the hearse. they've closed the door. again tomorrow, that casket with john mccain will be, it will lie in state in the capitol and then the funeral service saturday in annapolis. kaitlyn, it is striking to me in politics, a death that is remembered like this one, with this much ceremony, this one national remembrance, presidents get it. ted kennedy got it. there are not many figures short of presidents of the united states who generate this. >> this does feel very presidential and the pomp and the circumstance of it and all, not just people in politics but people outside of it paying tribute. even in arizona, you had constituents leaning up watching the casket move through, holding american flags and signs of well wishes. we see, we do see it in politics. but it is so different from

john was doing. well, i understood it and i expected it. jim durkin was loyal to john mccain, john mccain was loyal to him and came in and campaigned for him. after the election was over, the people of illinois decided i should be the senator. it didn't deter john mccain one bit from working with me from that point forward. there is an empty space in this chamber without john mccain. there is an empty space in america without his spirit. he will be missed, but he certainly will never be forgotten. i endorsed the proposal to rename the russell senate office building in honor of lieutenant commander and senator john mccain. like senator schumer, i hope that decades from now, children who are visitors to the capitol grounds will ask, well, who was this mccain they named the building after? they will discover he was a man worthy of our respect, a man who was in his heart a public servant, a man who was an american hero. madam president, i yield the floor. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: mr. schumer: madam president

and to see their name on that list has to really give pause to jim mattis and john kelly.e document to focus on this morning. >> admiral, what can they do about it remains the question. we've heard that they've been frustrated and outraged at certain times over the course of this administration. yet the course of the presidency doesn't seem to change. is there some pressure they can apply if they are as outraged as you suggest they may be? >> they are going to have to do what they have done thus far, which is try their best to present a guardrail around an extremely impetuous and extremely volatile president. all i can say is in terms of their service, it's probably like a lighthouse. you don't know what would happen if the lighthouse wasn't there to warn the ships off the rocks. maybe it could be a lot worse. i know they'll continue to do the best they can because they're both patriots of this country. >> coming up on "morning joe," is donald trump is pay back president? we'll read from a "new york times" editorial as the white house looks to hit critics where it hurts. l

a chief of staff john kelly, defense secretary jim mattis and national security adviser john bolton will represent the administration at mccain's funeral on sunday. >> thank you very much for all that background, athenathena. we want to bring in john avlon, david gregory. great to have all of you. it's fascinating to watch the anatomy of the president's shifting statements. so he was, according to all of the reporting from cnn, from the "wall street journal," "the washington post," he was dug in for two days. he didn't want to say something nice or laudatory about john mccain in part -- this is interesting -- because he felt it would be inauthentic. americans knew they didn't like each other and wouldn't ring true if he were to say something nice, he felt, not understanding that this is about john mccain's life, not about their feud, but then the reporting says that it was john kelly, chief of staff, it was bill shine now in the communications department and it was sarah sanders who played a really, according to "the wall street journal," fundamental role in getting him to change his min

the fact that john brennan, jim clapper, mike hayden sounding the alarm bells in the way they are shouldou had the president in helsinki a handful of weeks ago, standing next to the russian president, questioning the intelligence community's assessment. dismiss it, really. now you have a president firing a former leader of the intelligence community and citing the russia investigation. does putin cheer this kind of thing? >> of course he does. it's just more chaos, more kind of dismantling of the u.s. system, of the transatlantic alliance. you know, at this point, sanctions doesn't matter. it's all about shaking up our system, taking it down a notch, instead of bringing russia up. i have to say, though, because the russia collusion investigation it personal, it is about trump. it is about his victory in the election. it is about his legitimacy as president. so in some ways, it's not totally surprising that he -- that president trump takes this so personally. that this isn't about national security, this is about him, donald j. trump, who criticizes him, who undermines his legitimacy. i'm

that's what the papers say, when they put the marks in it after some statements jim inhofe or i make. john could -- he and i were working on a deal. i am chairman of the veterans committee. he was chairman of the armed services committee. we had a huge veterans bill. we had to come together and meet the minds on in terms of health care. john was late to the meeting. he came in the meeting, he pulled the door behind him and slammed it. for ten minutes laid the best cussing on me and everybody else in the room i ever heard. he said now i haven't got time to put up with this anymore. y'all just listen to what i have to say and tell me what you're going to do. that's a tough way to do business. but john sometimes knew to get us all to think, get us all to talk, if he intimidates you enough so you would fight for what you believed in, you would get a better piece of legislation than if he just let you pass or he intimidates you to death. john knew exactly what he had the capability of doing and he knew exactly when to apply the intimidation and the thanks and the grace. he did it the right time

will get on the hill, senator lindsey graham will talk about his friend, the now late senator john mccain. jimegarding what tiger woods said a couple days, larry kudlow on nafta and dana loesch was threatened on twitter that her children would be killed and twitter said that is okay. and comments from twitter before they finally -- we got a busy three hours. 11 minutes from now on the channel. rob: an action-packed show. iran and syria meeting face-to-face signing an agreement to rebuild syria's military, the announcement coming as donald trump takes a stance on iran's support for bashar al-assad's government. what does it mean for the us? our allies in the region, former state department officer morgan ortegas. good morning to you. obviously this creates some unease in the united states, you don't want these countries buddy up and i'm sure iran has a lot of interest in syria. >> i will take one of the most complicated international relations over the next 60 seconds. anyone paying attention to syria for the past 7 years knows the iran has influence during the civil war. what iran uses syria f

even if much of it isn't deserved. >> reporter: jim, if you want recognition of how much john mccain means to the institution, take a look on the senate floor. mitch mcconnell will speak. it will be personal remarks. it is worth noting, their battles were legendary and yet, still, respect from mcconnell and members of both parties is distinct and real. jim? >> thanks so much. let's go to senator mcconnell. he just began speaking. >> arizona, john mccain. john took full advantage of the mont months since his diagnosis. his hard work continues. happy, reminiscing, fond farewells, final reflections and time with family actually came with the poor. i was going to spend a small time with john. we sat on the front porch in sedona, under the desert sky, replaying old times. john did things his way these last months. for his colleagues here, the town confirmed a sad, but obvious truth. the senate won't be the same without jm. -- john mccain. it's fair to say the passion john brought with his work was unsurpassed with his body. in more than 30 years as a senator, he never -- a big heart and s

interest in preserving the credibility of the agency, you would be very upset with people like john brennan or jim klapper, they detract from your legitimacy. they make people nervous. so why are they not telling these guys, slow it down, get off twitter, stop being overtly political, you are doing damage to the institution from which they are. >> apparently there is plenty of support within the leadership of those agencies, the holdovers, the leftovers, if you will, from the obama administration not to do precisely that. it is highly questionable to me why we tolerated the former a intelligence agency heads becoming part of the mainstream political debate, if you can call their assault on the president personally part of the mainstream debate. but they were attacking him vigorously he committed, unrelentingly. it is a spectacle we have never witnessed before and i can'ty. imagine that they will permit again. the agencies themselves have so much to answer for. if it was indeed russian meddling in the election, quote unquote, why in the world did in our agencies, those three agencies in particular,
