john: that is true. brian: is that true? john: more or less. brian: do you mix it up?n: we do and we have a lot of fun. brian: what do you disagree on? john: everything. where possible, i will admit we exaggerate disagreements to rouse students. we have done that for years and we are still neighbors and close friends. but the students enjoy this kind of dialogue and debate among their professors. i think they take some reassurance in knowing there are several ways of looking at a problem instead of some party line. i think they respect the possibility for arguing vigorously within a framework of mutual respect and civility. they know we are good friends. they know we go out to dinner and they come over to our houses. we are close enough with them that is possible for the students. the combination of vigorous intellectual debate among close personal friends who are at the same time dedicated teachers, i think has been a wonderful thing and a very rare thing. it depends so much on personality. very few places would be able to replicate this. i'm not sure if they can keep

joining our discussion now, john kline, a former chief of staff. and back with us is john hileman.hn kline you have lived and worked in a white house. and all white houses are concerned about leaks but we have never seen anything like that. >> no. leaks are part of washington, and they happen in all administrations but this one is the worst. the problem is this, if the president wants to stop leaks of horrible, embarrassing information of his administration he ought to stop doing horrible and embarrassing things. the problem isn't that the stuff is leaking out, the fundamental problem is this stuff is having. and a member of the stay to say what kelly sadler said about john mccain, the issue isn't that it leaked, it's that she said it. >> by now it's fair to infer that president trump thinks about john mccain exactly the way kelly sadler does. >> we could have inferred that before given the history with john mccain. she said a horrible thing. everybody we know has said something notty, nasty, or disrespectful about somebody at some point and regretted it. if you just come out and a

there are so many accolades i could heap on to john mccain but i know john very well.ary. he was so passionate about this. we lost 80 service members to death by training and equipment failures. that's part of a problem of a budge we had. john mccain made sure we reinvested in our military, fixed our veteran affairs problems. his legacy is so long that john mccain is a hero to us and john mccain, all of our thoughts and prayers are with john and his family right now at this time. >> and also s.e., it's very reaction to hear that reaction from him. you're also friends with megan mccain. with that in mind, when you hear something like this reported out, a comment from a white house aide, you also have a very personal perspective on this. what did you think about the comment? >> you know, it -- i don't like to rush to megan's defense. she likes to joke that she is her dad in a dress. she's a really strong, tough cookie. she doesn't need my help. but it's hard when you hear comments like that about your friend, your friend's family, especially when you know what they've be

john: mr.ox, you are a business man, you spent 4 million of your own dollars for candidacy run so far that wonderful. they says a lot for who you are and your message. >> i didn't start with anything, i startedda bottom, my mom was a single mom, i built my own, but i am not leaving my kids rich, i want to leave them state that s funkal, peoplfunctional, people, they can afford water, house, electricity and a job. we have had 9,000 businesses leave this state in last 7 years. we can't keep doing this. john: you are second right now in primaries behind mr. newsom, can you win. >> absolutely. the people of that state, i'm talking de-- probably a lot of moderated democracies are tired of mismanagement. they are tired of driving on roads that are full of potholes and choked with traffic like you mentioned, tired are spending more money on education, and watch result go further down. they are tired of mismanagement of the forest, they have to be afraid of forest fires, democrats have mismanaged this

monuments after john mccain. but there won't be for any of these people and perhaps not even donald trump. >> susan, steve schmidt also tweeted today -- he has been vocal about this. >> of course. >> people who don't know john mccain about this are vocal. but say why have no republican as fors stepped forward and expressed outrage about this by a white house staffer it's despicable is cowardis is nauseate zblag people don't have to say. john mccain engaged in debates with people willingly. i debated him others have. but his honor is not to be questioned. and the idea that you say that john mccain doesn't matter. >> let's and -- what kind of spurred this on was john mccain saying he had a policy difference. >> right. >> and did not want to support the current nominee for cia director. he is entitled to. he backed it up it wasn't personal at all he made a point of it exactly right. what i find amazing is how kelly saddler still has a jb. and i don't think it should have made its way up to the president. she is a mi

mccain, it worked on john. that's why they call him somber john. >> to help us take stock of this extraordinary moment let's go to nbc's kristen welker at the white house, steve schmidt who is back with us today and with me at the table, john heilman, nbc and msnbc national news affairs analyst. also the host and executive producer of show times, the circus. steve, let me start with you. >> meghan mccain said something very wise and very important. it's not how you die, it's how you live. and let's talk about john mccain's life. he put the uniform of the country on when he was 17 years old and except for the six months when he was a congressional candidate, he has spent every hour of his adult life in service to this country. and he served his country through horrible torture and unbearable pain and he kept faith with the country. john mccain is an imperfect man. he has many flaws. he'll be the first to tell you. but he has always loved america perfectly, and he has served america honorably. i was asked a coupl

mccain, it worked on john. that's why they call him songbird john. >> i honor your service, sir, but i don't honor those comments. meghan mccain took issue with that, too. >> it's a really ugly nickname. at some point when you're tortured, everyone breaks. that's how it works and that's how you get information. my father's legacy will be talked about for hundreds and hundreds of years. these people? nothing burgers. >> beyond that, especially not even true despite the criticism -- the comments which were pretty stunning of someone to say that. there is no evidence that mccain gave any information to the vietnamese against the americans while he was brutally tortured in vietnam. >> in fact, when they offered to release him because his father was an admiral and they thought they would get a p.r. spot, john mccain refused. >> they don't like the positions he's taken over the years, they don't like his criticisms of the president, and they'll go to lengths like this. >> this has all come up since john mccain has no

his name is john ponder from las vegas, nevada. where is john? come on up here. john grew up without his father. as he tells it, my mother was strong, but she was not able to keep us out of the gangs and grew up without his father. as off the streets. right? john was in and out of jail for years until age 38, he was arrested for bank robbery. you don't look like a bank robber, john. you have come a long way! john soon ended up in federal prison. relegated to solitary confinement. that is where god found him. john began to read the bible and listen to in federal prison. relegated to hristian radio. right? incredible. one morning at 2:00 a.m., he woke up to the voice of the great billy graham. reverend graham's words came through the airwaves. jesus wants to be lord of your life. that night, john edicated his life to christ. he spent the rest of his time in prison praying, studying the bible and bringing the lord to his fellow inmates. the day after john's release, a visitor knocked on his door. it was the man who put him in jail. fbi, special agents, richard beasl

john mccain is a hero. that's why those two men are different. >> steve, john mccain also knows who his friends are, and there he is at his beautiful ranch in arizona. he's been visited by so many of them over these past few weeks as he deals with his illness. where are -- are you frustrated at all that your friends and other republicans have not risen up, have not raised their weapons and gone into the battle these past two days? >> look, there's nobody who loves a good saloon fight more than john mccain, and so if it's time for a saloon fight, so be it. but it's not about john mccain. it's about the values that john mccain has stood for -- selflessness, service, sacrifice, valor, valor that beggars the imagination. they're good and they're right. and these were the values and the virtues that built the united states of america. we're a flawed people. john mccain's a flawed man. but the idea of america, the nation that said, all men are created equal and are endowed by their creator with inalienable rights

one believer in john kelly mythology as the savior of the trump white house is john kelly himself who actually recently said this on npr. >> in retro specific i wish i had been here since day one. the first six months were pretty chaotic and people hired that maybe shouldn't have been hired. it's not that things were a disaster that first six months but i believe they could have been better. >> so john kelly now says when reince priebus was white house chief of staff that first six months was pretty chaotic. those were his words. it turns out that the only thing in presidential history more chaotic than the six months of the presidential history is the john kelly period as chief of staff. here's a sample of what happened in john kelly's white house. secretary of state rex tillerson called the president a moron in a private meeting and those words were leak and became public. donald trump campaigned for an alleged child molester in a senate race in alabama. he called nazis and white supremacists good people with john kelly in the room watching from the sidelines. john kelly did nothing

>> john kasich tonight had some comments on this. let's listen for a second. >> the comments by a white house staffer in regard to john mccain were just outrageous, totally out of line and i think it's incumbent on the white house to apologize not just for the staffer but all the administration because john mccain is an american hero. he served his country well and paid a very high price. >> susan, john kasich isn't running as a senator any time soon so it doesn't cost him anything to say it. why is it to steve schmidt's earlier point, why is it difficult for republican senators to be clear? these are his colleagues. >> the only ones that speak run the ones going out the door and that's a shame. >> jeff flake commented today. >> they're out the door and i as a republican am so frustrated because i want people to fight for republican values. they're not standing up to this president because of politics. be bold, lose an election but do the right thing a and they're not. people say what's happening to the republican party. we don't hav

mccain -- it worked on john, that's why they call him song bird john. the fact is, those methods can work and they are effective as former vice president dick cheney said. >> this is a man -- i don't need to remind you, but for our viewers, this is a man who as soon as he was captured was offered immediate release by the vietnamese because his dad also admiral mccain was in charge of the entire pacific theater including the vietnam war and he refused release and was put in solitary and tortured relentlessly because he kept refusing and going up against his captors. he refused release because he didn't want to jump ahead and the unwritten code among the prisoners there was first in first out, not last in first ou out. >> yeah, i'm -- you know, i'm speech le speechless. it's easy in the modern era to be a crank on tv. this former general had some conspiracy theories that got him on television before. best ignored. if you compare these charges with the truth and the reputation that john mccain has and earned dearned, it's spit against a battleship. so thei

i am certain it will be john's." this is a news statement from joe biden to nbc news. >>> that's it for us. craig melvin takes over. >> thank very much. msnbc headquarters in new york city. more on that in a minute. >>> backlash to disrespect. mocking john mccain for not backing gina haspel. many wonder why that aide has a job this morning. >>> and getting away with murder. what trump said about how much charged for medicine. now, perhaps action. expecting his plan to cut drug prices within the hour. >>> and can bad mean change? in this me-to-a#metoo era, exam why there's a double standard when it comes to the men accused who are rich and famous. good to natthat in a statement. >>> a stashl incense live remark leading to outrage by some but a strange silence by others. nbc news confirmed comments first reported by the hill. a day after mccain announced he was opposal gina haspel nomination to run the cia "he's dieing anyway" said kelly sadler. for now she is the white house director of surrogate and coalitions yau s

john: dr. benjamin spock wrote the book on childcare on which many children were raised. >> psychological studies have shown that the kids nowadays in the 1960's, who are so radical, in general come from families that are not authoritarian and oppressive, but from parents who are on the liberal side. so it probably is true that the radicals of today are the sons and daughters of the people who were liberal or radical in the 1930's. host: kennison and spock are describing white radicals, but our survey shows the background of black militants is far less affluent. their parents usually less liberally oriented. >> that is what we want to hear about. john: blacks now form a disproportionate number of revolutionaries and radicals on and off the campus. adults, concerned with the rebellion of both black and white, sometimes charge foreign, communist influence on the radicals. alexander kendrick asked sociologist louis foyer whether the movement was influenced from abroad. >> i think it has been indig

john: we invested in ico.ly: but in tech more broadly, where do you see the opportunities over the next 10 years? john: i think they are in artificial intelligence. i remain convinced that selectively they are in the areas of innovations around energy and energy technologies. i am quite convinced we will see a lot more disruption in systems for enterprises. the big tech giants, especially those with strong positions in consumer markets, they are a lot more competitive than their predecessors were, so i think it is harder to start a new consumer internet-based venture. emily: john doerr, chair of kleiner perkins, out with a new book called "measure what matters." john: a new handbook at whatmatters.com. emily: great to have you. generalpean union's data protection regulation goes into effect may 25, but how and doesoes gdpr work, it have a chance of inspiring similar laws in the u.s.? bloomberg's "quick take" gives you all you need to know. >> you may have seen a few of these pop up in your email. google, faceb

john kelly is as well.wering reports of his name calling with more name calling, calling it total bs. kaitlan collins is at the white house, she's no bs, what is happening there today? >> reporter: john kelly coming out quickly and publicly to deny this report, shortly after it was published. he issued a statement, we don't often hear from john kelly directly like this, but he did call this bs, he said that he spends more time with the president than anyone else and he said he always knows where i stand and he and i both know this story is total bs. john kelly said he's committed to the president and his agenda and the country and he said this is another pathetic attempt to smear the president. but he's not just denying it publicly, kate. we're also told he did so in a face to face meeting with president trump in the oval office yesterday, saying that this report isn't true and though cnn hasn't independently confirmed the idiot remark, we have reported that john kelly referred to the president as unhinged.

here's what he said about john mccain. >> the fact is that john mccain it worked on john. that's why they call him song bird john. >> that's absurd. he stayed in prison refusing to be let out when he had the opportunity to show solidarity with his fellow soldiers. >> it is both inaccurate. unfortunately, there's a lot of people with unfortunate views of the world who are on television who can make those kinds of statements. nobody who knows anything about senator mccain, republican or democrat, would give that any attention. you know, there's lots of subset on fox news that doesn't really deserve comment. >> mccain is called the maverick. that man was thanked for what he said on that show. i know fox put out a statement saying he won't be on anymore. in the moment he was thanked for his comments. >> one less sign of i think the situation we're dealing with in this country. last fall, john mccain was more popular among independents and democrats than republicans. this is a lifelong regan republican. somebody the far left has never been fond of. that fact that he is more pop

let's remember john kelly is also a general. he has commanded men and women who were willing to do what donald trump wasn't willing to do, sacrifice their lives, risk their lives in service of this country. if you go to the military cemeteries or the military hospitals, will you find a lot of people named rodriguez and martinez, people whose parents, people whose ancestors or people who themselves came here as immigrants, poorly educated but who did assimilate in the most american of ways, being willing to serve this country. >> i do want to ask you about john mccain. you worked with him on his 2008 presidential campaign. you heard megan mccain today responding to this white house aide who a lot of people would have never even heard her name before this, kelly sadler, who said in dismissing john mccain's opposition to the president's cia pick, said, you know, "he's dying anyways." do you agree with her? do you think kelly sadler should be fired? do you think considering what we've heard donald trump say about john mccain that it

you voted for john brennan.you have about gina haspel, why didn't they apply -- >> well, it's not just -- jake, it's not just the issue of torture. it goes -- i think deeper than that. and that is the foreign policy that we have seen from mr. trump, which was repeated today by john bolton. something i also strongly disagree with. >> your former -- >> which is one of the reasons i voted. i voted against pompeo, as well. >> your former campaign manager, jeff weaver, is going to be joining us later on the show, out with a new book. here's what he writes about you in book. quote, i believe sanders is the strongest candidate to reclaim the white house in 2020, and in this moment in history his authentic message of positive change and his appeal to a broad range of voters gives democrats the best opportunity to put together the coalition that can reclaim elected officials at all levels. run, bernie, run. i have the book right here. it has a blurb from you right on the very, very top, talking about how great this book

john delivered a lot of them himself, along with thank-you notes,t going t extra mile is what john is all about. >> right away we had people tellg us all the things that john couldn't do, and john has spent his life demonstrating what he could do. >> reporter: john is an avid snowshoer and soccer player. so he decided to donate portion of the company's profits c the special olympics, ase that he's also lobbied congress for. >>eople right away s him as a role model. i had to wrap my head around se that, bec he's just my son. >> reporter: if february of 2017, john designed a downs syndro awareness sock. for 2018 there's a new version. >> i did blue and yellow, because it's down syndromes's colors. >> now more than 1700 distsd socks they sell, flowers, sports stars, presidents past and present, there's socks for autism, breast cancer, and other causes the company is donating to. and somehow johns goes to trade shows to find new products. he participated in a smassachusettsrt-up incubator and traveled to do speaking it's been quite a year and business hasn't been too bad, either. >> we sh

so i caught up with john kelly in t -- the rose garden and asked him about that. he said, no, i didn't mean embarrassed, i meant distracted. president trump is either embarrassed or distracted by the russia investigation hanging over the white house. tonight that is the sentiment from john kelly, going where few aides to the president have gone before. saying the president is embarrassed by special counsel robert mueller's probe. >> there may not be a cloud but certainly the president is somewhat embarrassed frankly when world leaders come in, the first couple of minutes of every conversation might resolve around that kind of thing. >> kelly backtracked hours after the interview and telling cnn in the white house rose garden he meant to say the investigation into russia collusion in the 2016 campaign was a distraction for the president. not an embarrassment. well, yeah, it is untrue. it it's a witch hunt and distracted him. not too much but it is unfair. and an unseemingly feud with john mccain escalated a day after a white house aide spoke behind closed doors abo

john and alisyn?thanks so much. >>> joining us now cnn military and diplomatic rear admiral john kirby. kim yung chol the senior most north korean official to come to the u.s. talk to about is significance of this visit. >> this indicates that the progress is advancing pretty quickly towards a summit. whether it happens the 12th or not we have to see. that he's coming to the united states, that sends a strong message that the north koreans are very serious about wanting to sit down with president trump and where it goes from now. john, as we talked about for many weeks, the release of the american hostages the back and forth over whether it's going to happen or not, all that means that we're getting to a summit and that should give us some confidence. it doesn't necessarily mean that the summit will be successful. >> well, for sure. but just getting to the summit. i mean, president trump has broken the mold, i think it's fair to say. >> yeah. >> as we all know, diplomacy moves at a glacial parks and h

"i donald john trump do solemnly swear." the wall street journal is reporting today that a lawyer for the president arranged a one-hundred-and-thirty-thousand dollar payment to a former adult film star a month before the 2016 presidential election. "that i will faithfully execute." "there was no knowledge of any payments from the president and he's denied all these allegations." "the office of president of the united states." "the raid late today of president trump's personal lawyer and friend michael cohen fbi agents took a host of documents, including some related to cohen's one-hundred-and-thirty-thousand- dollar payment to porn star stormy daniels" "and will to the best of my ability." "giuliani has just dropped something of a bombshell on that one-hundred-and-thirty-thousand dollar payment." "funneled it through a law firm and the president re-paid it." "oh, i didn't know that he did." "oh, i didn't know that he did." "yep." "preserve, protect and defend." "he'll get his facts straight." "the constitution" we're not cha

it is not john kelly. we know as a retired marine corps four-star general that the chaos must be anethma to him. the dysfunction in the white house as chief of staff he partly owned it but the driver, the cause of it is the president of the united states. not the staff secretary. not the chief of staff. not the deputy chief of staff. it's a completely unprepared, completely incompetent, extremely emotional president of the united states who revels in his ignorance, who revels in his unpreparedness, he doesn't know the first thing about anything. and i'm certain that's frustrating to someone like john kelly who knows that we can't pull our forces out of the korean peninsula one day after they've been there for 60 years just because the president saw something about it on "fox & friends." >> it's become the -- the republicans have become the party of trump. he's got 80% gop support. yet it seems that people with extraordinary track records are touched by trump and then they're torched. exactly to your point

president, with a few more words about john mccain. like a lot of senators, i'm thinking now about some of the big battles, the tough fights that we had a chance to work on together. i became oregon's first new senator in almost 30 years. oregon had always been about wood products. it always will be. i said i'm going to come to the senate to fight like crazy to get more jobs in those rural areas and try to get oregon and our country into some new fields. it's not generally known, but in those days, john mccain had just become the chairman of the commerce committee, and i went to him and i said, mr. chairman, why don't you and chairman leahy, who has been a stalwart on these issues, why don't you all lead an effort to try to write the rules of the road for the internet, because by and large there weren't any. and he kind of smiled at me, that quintessential john mccain smile, and he basically said why don't you go out and figure out how to do it, and we'll have a hell of a good time making the case. and what we did under john mccain's l

john wes ailey. john west haily. he was an unlikely warrior. so were most of the more than 2 million men shouldered muskets and done union blue between 18 six he won and 18 625. own commission, naturally timid and shrinking -- shrink and -- shrunken. wracked by a thousand fears and misgivings. john actually set out the first 16 months of the civil war. of biddeford, a theing milltown perched on river, about a score of miles south of portland, maine. i had no inclination, here affected you later, for the business -- he reflected years later, for the business of war. he could not have halted the process -- progress of the civil war effort. patriotic loyal northerners dislike him -- just like him had passed those months wringing their hands and rationalizing defeat. -- oh, to besure sure there were glimmers of hope. in the western theater. where ulysses s grant had achieved to stunning victories. by capturing fort henry and donaldson. had one the come from behind victory on the second day of shiloh in april of 1862. the same month that david farra
