jim neil, the chief prosecutor, will follow, taking on the other four defendants. i'm on edge. his cockiness and self-importance annoy me, and i don't want susan, peter, and anne to be suggested to his degrading remarks about their father. taking his place at the lectern, ben-veniste deliberately pauses to adjust his glasses. in a voice ladened with sarcasm, he compares bob to a little boy who gets caught with jam on his face. here's the jam, ladies and gentlemen, he exclaims. it's on mr. haldeman's face. it's on his hands and he can't get it off. every time ben-veniste cites more evidence against bob, he repeats the story of the boy and the jam. as the jurors turn to look, i know they visualize bob smeared with bright red strawberry jam. ben-veniste paints a vivid image that captures the imagination and i'm chagrinned. do our children really have to hear this? at the end of half an hour, ben-veniste concludes his rebuttal. with a self-satisfied expression, he slowly turns and walks back to the prosecutors' table. during the break, a crowd gathers in the hall, and i have troubl

first things i learned when i entered private practice after watergate, i was working on a came with jim neil who was the senior lawyer during the watergate trial for the special prosecutor and he said, never tell the court that you don't know for a fact. you say my client informs me that, you protect yourself. you never want to be deceptive. you never want to lie to the court. again, either didn't know the truth or that's what his client tells him. why are they stratogizing about what to say. the truth is the best thing to say and then you don't have to worry about it being contradicted later on. >> matt miller was a justice department official and has this tweet out this morning and he says essentially that we're so used to potus not telling us the truth we jump to, is it a crime? what a sad standard? >> that is a valid point, however, this particular comment that the president made through don jr. is itself uniquely important to questions about mueller's investigation in large part because i had a conversation this morning with a former federal prosecutor who has worked on a number of obst

. >> neil: it's official. jim justice switching from democrat to republican. fbn about why. why did you do this? >> neil, the bottom line is just this. my family has been republican all of our lives and everything. i ran as a democrat and everything because i really do care about our people. you know, not that the republicans don't. they surely do. but at the same time, i just felt more positioned. at one time i was concerned about how serious the republicans were about really helping business and doing the right things there. really just came down to just this. at crunch time, when we had a budget that was going to be passed, it was going to help in a lot of different ways and everything, for whatever the reason may be, just from a pure political play, the republicans walked away -- the democrats walked away from me only because they were upset that there was a component of the budget that was tax reform that was coming from the republicans. it was a terrible move. hurt a lot of people. really hurt a lot of great west virginiians in a lot of different ways. i

neil: governor jim justice, thank you very, very much. il, thank you for all you do. appreciate you, sir. >> a governor who would not change anything with all the backlash the president has been receiving and this news week cover, the president of the united states featured on a la-z-boy with fast food and potato chips. there is nothing wrong with a la-z-boy and nothing wrong with being surrounded by food, and everything wrong with portraying the administration as a total failure. one little doozy that stands out in the article that exemplifies a lot of the reporting that comes the president's way. for the love of lincoln, someone should tell them forget tax cuts and muslim bans, should be out there painting i-95 and slapping fresh paint on the chesapeake bay bridge. that's fine, that's your opinion. here's where it gets almost insulting, sits and stews like al bundy, that predicted trump better than any political scientist or pundit. but the coup de grace for me was this. trump's approach is the approach of al bundy, begins in age, it end

. >> neil: a lot of people say jim carrey is. >> he's a wonderful comic. >> neil: but robin lewis isher column, a whole other dimension. >> neil: the irony, williams would kill himself. this genius of comedy is more than happy of getting serious, very serious. you weren't married to comedy. a lot of the people in the 80s were rallying around you wondering if this was the future jerry lewis and then you left the scene again. why? >> yeah. i wanted to go shopping. >> neil: so money was never annish yaw for you? >> no. >> neil: you're obscenely wealthy. >> ridiculous. >> neil: there's no draw like to have to be in front of the camera, to be with the crowd again? >> i've had been performing, i have not stopped performing in all of these years. i just haven't had the script or the company that i wanted, as they say, get in bed with. and i just won't give up control of what i do and corporate today, they don't want to know from that. >> neil: there's no denying this. corporations and critics came and went. jerry lewis remained a constant, very funny, very serious. very much part of the cha

jim. great to be back >> neil, this seems like the quarter we got, what you talk about the rocket ship.st booster is the human capital management it looks like the open platform has brought a whole new cast of characters it's working, isn't it >> it's working very well. this past quarter, we passed 30% of the fortune 500 using our hcm products that's really their core hr solution and it's translating into financials and moving into international markets. international revenue represents 25% of our business. >> i can tell you, i saw you got citigroup. we think that they've done a remarkable job it is a worldwide institution. this has got to be one of the biggest wins in finance that i can recall how did you get it and was it competiti competitive? >> everyone is competitive every one of these opportunities, we're competing against large companies. they made the decision based on our track record of customer success. possibly they hooked at the success of bank of america in using workday and going live in a rapid time and adding more to the portfolio. and the banks talked amongst each oth

neil: that's right, i remember when they swapped jobs. >> in any event, you couldn't ask for a better chief of staff than jim baker, a marine by the way, y. neil: that's right. don regan ticked off nancy reagan, that was another problem there. it does get me back to family and the role they play. ivanka trump made an interesting remark about general kelly, she was looking forward to serving alongside him. what did you make of that? >> well, it's a sign of maturity on ivanka's part. she has something to offer. others do as well. she respects peer approval of any proposal. neil: but alongside him. alongside him. i'm overlinguisting this, i guess. that doesn't mean reporting to. >> well, we'll see. i think general kelly wouldn't have taken the job if he didn't believe he had authority to deploy a disciplined process, including anybody who has something constructive to say, and i expect that includes the family. neil: every white house has internation rivalries, these ones are particularly pronounced in the first six months, but as you reminded me that things could calm down six months from now, be very, very different, but a lot depends on

neil cavuto. >> it's standard operating prejudice. blake: initial defense from sarah huckabee sanders pointed to testimony of former fbi head jim comeytified under oath that president was not under investigation. another attorney for the president john dowed echos that defense in a statement, quote, we have no reason to believe that president trump is under investigation. a spokesperson for the special counsel's office would not confirm that initial wall street journal story. back to you in new york. lauren: attorney general jeff sessions taking action on the leaks, he is said to announce a major crack-down this morning of the leaking of white house information. senator lindsey tbra ham say the leaks are not fair to president trump. >> the person who did this may think they have a noble outcome in mind. that's just chaos, you can't have people in the government working for the president picking and choosing what -- what to leak. that's just wrong and i hope we find out who the person is and they get punished. lauren: sessions has come under fire for not being tougher on the leaks. fox business will have live coverage as session annou

late in the afternoon it's jim neil's turn. hunched over he addresses the jury. it's no fun casting stones he says. to keep society going stones must be cast. people must be called to account at other times loud and vigor s vigorous. as always he is a but compared to his final argument earlier what he seems today seems some what confusing. the final arguments and rebuttals, some of it was boring, some fascinating and so much of it was frustrating. at last it's over. on monday the case will go to the jury. leaving the courtroom i feel weak. stinging accusations about the jam and neil's exaggerations stay with me. i take them personally and become obsessed with one objective, to get out of this building as quickly as possible, desperate to be alone. i give no thought to bob and the children. putting my head down aplow throu -- i plow through the crowd. >> the five of us with one thought in mind, to get home as quickly as possible. bob turns the key in the ignition, but nothing happens. he tries again, but the engine won't turn over. people ignore us as they get int
