but you can't do that with john kelly because john kelly is highing. john kelly is afraid of stepping up to the microphone looking into those cameras and answering questions about what he knew and when he knew it and why he continued to fight for rob porter's job even after he saw the black eye photos. >> joining us now ruth marcus, deputy editorial page editor from the "washington post" and joyce vance, former u.s. attorney for the northern district of alabama and a professor at the university of alabama school of law, andness price spokesperson for the national security council and a former cia analyst. he's an msnbc national security analyst. ruth, i just want to get your reaction because this is a moving story with new elements coming out by the hour. your reaction about where this story stands tonight. >> well, the phrase fully aware is possibly the most maddening phrase i've ever heard here. if general kelly was not fully aware of the allegations against rob porter, it's only because he chose not to make himself fully aware because he heard somet

he said it had been given to him by a man named john thompson. >> john thompson was a low-level drugealer and fence. grew up in the projects in new orleans. was raised mostly by his grandmother. his father was a career criminal. >> richard perkins confronted mr. thompson after the fact and got mr. thompson to confess that he was the one that killed mr. liuza. >> perkins said thompson also had an accomplice named kevin freeman. police arrested both freeman and thompson. >> the story that kevin freeman told police was that he and john thompson had been driving home together, and the car had run out of gas. ray liuzza drove past them, parked and began to walk across the street to his apartment. at that point, john thompson turned to him and said, i'm going to hit that guy, and pulled a gun out of his pocket. >> and then mr. freeman got cold feet, if you will, and decided he didn't want to be part of it. as he was running away, freeman said he heard the shots. >> the police charged freeman and thompson with murder. the local prosecutor wanted the death penalty for thompson but knew it wo

only john kelly did that.o other white house chief of staff in history has ever told such a poisonous lie about a member of congress or about a former president. and so we can no longer be surprised when john kelly opens his mouth and ugly prejudice and poison comes out as it did again today. there is not a shred of evidence now that john kelly has even the slightest bit more sympathy or understanding of the dreamers than donald trump has. there is not the slightest hint now that john kelly's heart is not as full of hatred as donald trump's is for all of the people that donald trump rages against, from mexicans, to muslims, to undocumented immigrants including children. if john kelly is more enlightened than donald trump, if he is more humane than donald trump, if he is a more decent person than donald trump, why has he never said one word while in the service of donald trump to show us in any small way that he is not exactly the same as donald trump? donald trump spews hatred and never apologizes. john kelly

john kelly knew there were photos. the fbi would have no reason not to tell him what they knew about rob porter. the fbi who have had no reason not to tell him that they saw the photos. might have even showed those photos to john kelly. so john kelly decided not to believe what the two women told the fbi. does that mean that john kelly decided that those two women committed the crime of lying to the fbi? did john kelly decide that those two women were the kind of women who would just sit there and commit the crime of lying to the fbi? does it mean rob porter lied to the fbi? is there a crime here? here's jennifer willby, rob porter's second wife, telling nbc's kristen welker about her conversations with the fbi. >> can you tell me what specifically you told them? >> i shared with them the details of my marriage. the same as have been in the interviews and articles that have come out. >> and one of the questions was, could he potentially be blackmailed. how did you answer that question? >> i actually had difficulty answ

john kelly fought for rob porter's job. reports indicate that john kelly was actively fighting to save rob porter's job after all of these accusations became public, including the one punch black eye. because for john kelly, apparently, one punch isn't enough. one black eye photograph of one former wife of a white house official, was not enough for john kelly. that's why he fought today to save rob porter's job. wasn't enough. yesterday rob porter said -- he said this in response to the daily mail's first story, i will not comment about these matters beyond stating that many of these allegations are sand rous and simply false. that was yesterday. today, in announcing that he will give up that job and as the "new york times" is reporting, give up that job tomorrow, at the white house, after maybe a full day at the white house. rob porter issued this new statement saying this, these outrageous allegations are simply false. i took the photos given to the media nearly 15 years ago, and the reality behind them is nowhere close t

john's moving, iconic photos resulted in john being honored with the award as the best -- the prestigiousobert kaplan award for photography. the bestscribed as photographic reporting from abroad, requiring exceptional courage and enterprise. as you go through this, you'll hear that john was there in the thick of the battle. that took a lot of courage to take the photos, chronicle the event, tell it and not lose his cool. the partnership between the newseum, john olson, "stars & stripes," the national federation of the blind has culminated in this exhibit presented today, one of its only kind, as peter mentioned. the exhibit includes a unique aspect of providing audio from the marines who lived through that horrific battle. the audio presentation combined with john's startling photography brings this unimaginable, brutal battle to life. thank you to john for his tireless efforts to continue to tell the story of the battle for 50 years. thank you to the newseum, national federation of blind and nikon for recognizing the importance for continuing to tell this story. and special thanks to kat

john kelly was in the room when the president said that. >> i'm watching john kelly, general john kelly, he's a four-star marine, a tough cookie. if he was a teacher, i wouldn't worry about him having a gun. there's no security guard you're going to hire that can handle a gun better than him. so if he's a teacher or other friends that's a marine or other people teaching like that, i want them to have a gun. >> that's the kind of thing clint eastwood was doing in the movies when he was 67 years old, going up against the bad guy with superior fire power and taking the guy out with his handgun. the president has seen too many clint east wood movies. john kelly is 67 years old. he's never gone into combat only with a handgun, or commanded marines with only a handgun. he's only commanded marines that have the finest weapons of war, like the ar-15. john kelly would never order a marine into combat with a handgun. john kelly was never trained to go into combat in an american high school where the possible collateral damage included high school students, thousands of them, and dozens of america

john's sons at various times. they may have added to these slaves, but the slaves had been acquired and given to the sons. to the question -- first, how did so many scholars miss this? how did so many not notice these hundreds of slaves that john marshall is acquiring? i don't want to get into that. for one thing, most biographers of marshall are good friends of mine. [laughter] mr. finkelman: i hope they remain good friends of mine. them that you mail to two of my friends who are marshall scholars when i first discovered the chickahominy slaves. i said, i just found this out, what do you think? one of them wrote back and said, i was so interested that i went to ancestry.com to see for myself. i had actually said he had 65 slaves. this scholar came back and said, you are wrong, you counted the overseer and his wife and son, he only had 62. he says he has a dozen, i said he had 65. i am off by three, he is off by 62. i also credit him with the dozen enrichment. the other scholar wrote back, i wish i had done the re

and then introduce john kelly at a press conference or have him do it on his own and john kelly has toay, the back stops with me, i'll take the hit and i apologize. i will explain to you what happened and i will tell you what the solution is what the fix is so it will never happen again and then we'll move on. you say that with such a kind gentle voice. i will note that what you're suggesting is the exact opposite of what has happened to date. the president hasn't said it in his own words. john kelly has certainly not said the buck stops here. he said everything is perfect. scott jennings, your turn. to john kelly, the chief of staff, what should he do today? >> i agree with a lot of what congressman kingston laid out. i have the utmost respect for general kelly. he's a patriot, served our country, his family offered the ultimate sacrifice to our country. i think he deserves the chance to come out and explain what happened. to say, look, i'm the chief of staff. these personnel issues do stop with me. the white house needs to construct a timeline. the failure to construct a timeline at

john?> harris, good afternoon to you. we are on day eight. rather than things getting better for the white house they are actually, as you point out, taking a turn in a much more dramatic direction. we have known for the last week that there were serious allegations leveled against the former white house staff secretary rob porter. the most serious among them that on a vacation in italy, back in the early 2,000s, he allegedly, according to his first wife, punched her in the eye, giving her a black eye. the fbi yesterday came forward in the form of christopher wray at a hearing on the senate intelligence committee to challenge the white house's time line of events which then forced the white house yesterday to adjust its time line again. let's listen to what sarah huckabee sanders said. >> the fbi portion was closed. the white house personnel security office, who is the one that makes a recommendation for adjudication had not finished their process and, therefore, not made a recommendation t

"peace and prosperity" that 19what elected ike in the 60's. the 1950's. areahis is a hard question i have been looking for days, where is isis? what happened? did they go away? sebastian gorka: it is off the agenda. you may recall, the last time -- the last president told us that this was a generational threat, meaning that your grandchildren will be fighting isis jihadi's decades from now. now we have any president who seems to have compressed a generation down into six months. [applause] why is that? here, i must give credit where it is due. number one, the president allows the military to do their job, he trusts them which is a refreshing concept. secondly, we have the best military in the world, so when you let them do their job, they will crush our enemies. last, steve an end, as the strategist, heef said, i want a bum

this is people who work for john kelly and john kelly's boss at various moments undermining him, which is a hard way to run a railroad. to your point about people getting the attention here, here's a republican chairman of a republican committee in congress, the house oversight committee, saying i need to investigate the republican president's white house. i want to know who knew what, when. >> who knew what, when, and to what extent, and if you knew it in 2017 and the bureau briefed them three times, then how in the hell was he still employed? >> will the oversight committee be launching an investigation into this? >> we did last night. >> amen in the sense that democrat or republican, congress should conduct vigorous oversight of the executive branch, especially when you have a person allowed to stay on the job for months and months and months, credibly accused of horrible actions. this is not running a red light or not paying your taxes. the white house in the conflicting and shifting answers of the last week now is of the idea that this didn't get to us, it might have been in the w

john quincy adams, son of john adams. what we have on loan is a set of cuff links which -- what makes them unique to john quincy adams, but they're also tied to john adams, is that inside of each of the cuff links there is hair from both his mother, abigail adams, and john adams, and the other cuff link has hair of john adams, which he didn't have a lot of and his wife. so the hair is in there. it seems weird. some people think it's creepy that we have family members' hair in our jewelry, but it was a very common practice, a way of remembering relatives who had passed away. just keeping a piece of them close to us all the time. so that's pretty -- they're pretty neat. they have on them in latin essentially it says remember -- consider the relatives. so he can think about your past that way when you're wearing these cuff links. for andrew jackson, we have what's referred to as a turkish pipe, on loan to us from the hermitage in tennessee. not a lot is known about this pipe, but pipes were one of the more common ways of smo

who worked very closely with john kelly. the resignation followed news reports that made public the reason why mr. porter had been unable to obtain a permanent security clearance during his 13 months in the white house handling all papers that crossed the president's desk. domestic violence allegations against porter by his two ex wives, allegations he denies, the allegations were conveyed to the fbi as part of the background check procedure for the security clearance application along with corroborating evidence from porter's ex wives that included an emergency protective order taken out against him in virginia by his second wife and photograph evidence of injuries he says were inflicted on her by her then husband. that is is exactly the kind of thing that can keep you from getting a permanent security clearance, not having a permanent security clearance is the reason you shouldn't be able to have that particular job of being white house staff secretary handling classified information as a are you terout every day in close

in john kelly. >> the president is furious with john kelly and hope hicks.o doubt about it. >> but he's not actively searching for another chief of staff. >> you have to imagine somebody is called for this chief of staff job, what do they say to the president? what do they demand? how could he induce them to take it? >> as david said, the problem is the president. you want to say to these people are you willing to degrade your humanity and integrity and what you want to leave as a legacy. it's about what they want to project. if that's what gary cohn or somebody else -- >> there's always someone willing to say i owe it to my country, maybe i can have the impact others haven't. >> that's true in the job of chief of staff. you were getting to this point. john kelly has perhaps revealed himself. there's no question a dozen times a day over the last six months he's prevented a disaster. >> his hair is on fire and he's probably done a better job than we think. let's also all remember that despite all the outrage and moral concern about this white house, half the

why is john kelly lying? because john kelly knew a long time ago about the credible allegation s against porter. why could kelly not clean that up? because donald trump knew, i believe. i think it goes to trump. it doesn't go doto kelly. you're being too nice to trump. kelly made this horrible mistake. trump didn't know anything -- how do we know trump didn't know anything? i don't believe for a minute the way donald trump runs his organizations and his white house, he's not interested in policy, he's interested in personnel. he was very close to porter. mcgahn knew and told him. trump knew and trump decided, let's put it the nicest way, you know, there are no legal charges, no criminal charges, no civil actions, i guess, a roadw restraining order, i'm going to let porter stay there. >> but trump has no decision -- >> that was trump's decision. and the reason they lied is because they're covering up the fact that it didn't matter to donald trump that a wife abuser was in a senior staff position in the white h

the fact that she said forget john kelly resigning. how about the president firing john kelly? that would be sending a message. >> you know, i mean, such an interesting point. clearly, kelly is someone who has been such a valued member of the president's inner circle in the sense that he has brought a sense of order to the white house. but the fact that he is out there now completely vulnerable and that the president has said nothing to stem the political fallout on this issue much less talking about what he would like to see his chief of staff do is just, you know, causing so much running damage. i was talking to a republican source yesterday who was literally screaming into the phone so frustrated with how the white house has been handling this issue and the fluctuating timeline and the fact that, you know, people like sarah sanders are suggesting that they didn't have all of the information at first. there's just a sense of panic about the fact that this white house cannot get this issue right and that they're clearly -- you know, the president does not have much credibility

la casa blanca asegura que john kelly no ha ofrecido su renuncia. elogiÓ al acusado, pero no mencionÓ a sus presuntas vÍctimas. >> el presidente no hablÓ de las vÍctimas qque acusaron a rob porter de violencia domÉstica, pero sÍ le deseo lo mejor y prÓspera carrera al ex secretario de gabinete, quiÉnes acusado de maltratar fÍsicamente a sus dos ex esposas. " Él ha dicho que es inocente y hay que tener eso en cuenta". dice que se sorprendiÓ al enterarse de las alegaciones. el presidente nunca hablÓ de las vÍctimas, ni expresÓ simpatÍa hacia ellas. la segunda ex esposa de porter pidiÓ que no fuera honesta con el fbi sobre su relaciÓn y lo que viviÓ durante el matrimonio. la pregunta de muchos es por quÉ se le permitiÓ mantener su trabajo a pesar de que el jefe de gabinete, john kelly y el abogado de la casa blanca sabÍan que el fbi investigaba su pasado. >> el hecho de que Él sabiendo eso y el abogado de casablanca querÍa que se quedara dentro del staff es muy preocupante. la violencia domÉstica no se puede admitir. el presidente tambiÉn estÁ acusado.

john, stephanie. maybe cleaning the bathroom in times square on new year's eve is better. >> there are republicans who speak on fox news all the time who would love the job. >> it is a thankless position. when you consider, is this john kelly's waterloo, the moment where this is the fieshlreable offense, i don't think it is that big of a moment. it could be. it is very unclear at this point. >> interesting to see how it goes. we'll have to see how much they knew. as more and more detail comes out about this, i suspect there is going to be a groundswell of activity. >> could john kelly be the cheese standing alone? >> peter, matt and someone who shares my initials, ali v. >> ali's debut on "velshi & ruhle." >> love it. >> please come back. >> proud to do it. >> you know what, maybe i need an a.v. upgrade. >> ouch. >>> all right. we're going to talk with new york city's first lady, who is also head of the city's domestic violence task force. how abuse affects victims, families, communities and our entir

i support john kelly. i think he's doing a remarkable job, and it's a very tough job. i have great empathy for him. it's not just sympathy. it's not theory. i have great empathy for the job that the chief of staff has to do. and i think he's doing it pretty well. his job is to make sure that the president stays focused and addresses the realish us america has to face. and we've got some real challenges. obviously, domestic abuse is never good. it's not right. and we shouldn't call it out. and, you know, rob porter is a very able person, but he evidently was involved in something that was outrageous and not justified. and it was appropriate for him to leave the white house. with john kelly, he serves at the discretion of the president. they call it the pleasure of the president, as everyone does in the white house. so ultimately, it's the president has to decide whether or not john kelly stays or doesn't stay, and as long as he's there, i want to support him and help him do the job he's got to do. because h

>> good morning, john.y that switch was the position that it is in is key to the investigation. that's what we plan to find out. >> you have four facing cameras retrieved at this point. what's the data showing from that? >> the cameras were taken back to washington -- the recordings were taken back to washington yesterday. we are hoping we will be able to retrieve good data from that. at this point, we don't have the data. >> any concerns, complaints about this section of track as far as you know? >> none whatsoever. >> you said this crash was preventable. how would positive train control have stopped this? >> it is designed to prevent four types of accidents. this is exactly one of those four types of accidents that it is designed to prevent. >> and how so? it gets sensors. it gets data from ahead of where it is on the track and automatically without people on the train changing things, it would slow the train down. is that how it works? >> yeah. that's pretty much it. it knows where the train is, what the

he was sending a message to john kelly but john kelly has laid down the law here. >> and we need underline, john kelly is not the one who decides the status. the fbi decides whether or not you get clearance level that you want. >> the fbi is giving information with the background information i'm not saying this happened. let's say he had a shop the living incident when he was 17. i presume john kelly would say, by the way, when i went through my security clearance, and i still have a top secret clearance, i had shoplifting when i was 13. i stole a football. they said that's fine. the significance here, and this is why john kelly had no option, is that the deputy attorney general said we cannot certify we closed the investigation. that's code for after 13 months of investigation into jared kushner's background, there's something really significant the fbi can't reveal. john kelly has the option to reveal but he said i can't do that. i can't give him top secret clearance of the until and this comes with the report that cnn broke a few days ago, one of the things bob mueller's team is looking

john: yes. in that we are looking at the economic fundamentals that are still solid for the market valuations. they have to be question. some of we doing with these investments in equities and some emerging market bonds? some high-yield bonds, what are the valuations there relative to what the market is telling us on the fundamental basis? anna: thank you very much for your time this morning. john silvia joining us from wells fargo. manus: let's have a check on the markets. are playing a nice down thinking. you have you that you have u.s. equity futures. -- you have u.s. equity futures. drop in u.s. equity markets, but they turned it around. you have this bounce at play. bond cash is closed. futures are opening. we have u.s. futures pointing higher. ftse futures pointing higher. we will see where the rest of europe opens up. we have a reprieve coming through in the asian equity session. japan is closed. that has an impact on bond trading as well. we will get you up to speed with the market actio

what's next for john kelly? up to donald trump who as much as he said it a lot on tv doesn't really like to say you're fired directly to his staff and there's not a ton of obvious candidates to take general kelly's place. the real irony is if this domestic abuse rob porter scandal ends up with departure of john kelly is that it would be ousted for sort of the weirdest of reasons. i wrote over the weekend about john kelly as a kind of mini me of donald trump, the second worst person in the white house really. because as much as he was supposed to bring them all order, he's just really mirrored and exemplified some of donald trump's own worst instaincts an this last episode is just an example of that. we'll see what happens to him. i think one thing we know is it's going to be a white house in chaos whether he's there or not. >> no doubt about that. and of course we're going to see what happens this week. it's supposed to be infrastructure week at the trump white house. i suspect it's going to be a week instead wh

>> i would agree with john. but one possibility here of course is that you have a white house full of my soldier niss as some people have suggested. but there's another possibility that i find almost as troubling or equally as troubling and that is you have people in this white house for whom constitutional norms mean nothing. for whom codes of conduct mean nothing. the rules apply to everybody else, but not to us. so when general flynn, for example, is lying about what he told the russians, that's not a problem for donald trump. that's not a problem for the chief of staff at the time. it's only a problem when somebody finds out about it. so, you know, there's a -- there's a set of rules here that i think is -- and a mind set. i compared john kelly to don reagan, who was the infamous second chief of staff for ronald reagan, who was arrogant and politically inept. i think kelly reminds me of him. he's irgaarrogant and he plays set of rules that they don't think the rules apply to them. >> john kelly was-to-suppos

here we are at john adams. john adams is our second president. and one of our founding fathers and what we have for john adams is we have the seal which he used to authenticate his signature on the treaty of paris of 1789 which ended the american revolutionary war. he was sent to negotiate with the british the treaty signed in paris and the seal here while his, the adams family did not have their own family crest, the family crest that he used is the boilson family crest which was the family crest of his mother-in-law. and then moving on to thomas jefferson, our third president also a founding father, of course. we have a glass inkwell and a pen nib holder. a lot of the pens we think about the quill pen a lot, but feathers were not used as much as we seem to think in our minds. so it had been a wooden holder which would have held a special tip which would have been used to write. the tip holder is from the monticello who we borrowed this from, dates it from 1775 to 1825 when he died. so it might be something that he used when he was writing the d

john kelly is in on it.hite house chief of staff has chosen sides in the daily battle between trump and the truth. john kelly has chosen trump. you learn a lot by watching a person lie. you can see how comfortable or uncomfortable they are with lying. you can see how easy it is for them. everyone can see that lying is part of donald trump's nature. some people wonder if donald trump actually believes what he says when he is lying. and if he does convince himself to believe his own lies, that is truly pathological lying. it's the most dangerous kind of lying. it means the liar has lost touch with reality. now watch what john kelly had to say when he was asked about the democratic members of congress who boycotted the state of the union speech tuesday night. >> it breaks my heart because as i say, i don't think anyone should hate someone else or show them disrespect just because they disagree on anything. >> he sure looked like he believed that when he was saying it, which makes it all the more deeply disturbi
