not john. within hours of the operation, he was holding -- he beamed into the conference in paris, he refused pain medication, not wanting to lose one iota of his mental sharpness and just days later, back in geneva. in a particularly tense moment, john's counterpart abruptly stood up from the table and made his way to the door. john took his crutch, jutted it out and blocked his exit. [laughter] not until we talk this out. he sat back down and they worked through it. i think one of the reasons that john was so effective with foreign leaders is that, of course he was fluent not just in policy, but in politics. as a former elected official, he understood the constraints facing politicians. and what it would take to overcome them. like when he spent a week in kabul working with the rival afghan candidates to prevent a disputed presidential election from descending into civil war. now, one other aside. i had a chance on one occasion with now president biden to visit afghanistan with john and we we

john would go to pick up or drop off jj and from what john described, he would stand over john in a menacinghat. andrea canning (voiceover): after michele accused john of abusing jj, he told friends the trooper got even more aggressive, making verbal threats. maria says john was scared. maria tacelosky: and i said, john, we have to do something. i'm coming out to blairsville and we're going to go see the police. and he said, maria, what police can we go see? we can't go to the blairsville police department. they hauled me out of my office. we can't go to the state police because foley's one of them. he said, we don't have anyone to go to. andrea canning (voiceover): other friends say they found it hard to believe that a state trooper sworn to protect people and uphold the law could be a danger. my mom would call and say, like, john's still being bothered. and my response, out of being so naive-- i don't know what the word is-- was always, please don't do that. andrea canning (voiceover): now john was dead and mary anne was one of nearly 10 people who told the blairsville police that trooper

and these not at john lewis. he knew instinctively how wrong this was and how much he wanted this to change. and when he hears martin luther king give a sermon on the radio, john lewis is just about 14 or 15. he knows that this man is going to be his role model. and this is what he wants to do with his life is follow in the footsteps of dr. king. and can you speak just for a moment about the larger that is emerging there in 53, 54, 56 that is impacting him that is leading to martin luther king in montgomery. and in all of those things you speak just a little bit. yes. i mean, this is a time of ferment when lot of black americans across the south, but also with help from supporters and black in the north, are mounting legal challenges and what they call direct act, direct action challenges to segregation across the south. one of the most famous one of the most successful is the montgomery bus boycott. and again, john lewis is, you know, 14, 15 years old when this gets going, he follows it avidly. you know, he his

and john's relationship. at what point does he start talking about figuring out a way for you to come on board the campaign? >> i pitched him the idea of doing a webisode series because my entire thing about him was who he really is, did not translate onto the camera, and i wanted to help him capture that because i thought he was pretty cool in hours of behind the scenes footage really captured more than maybe even she imagined at the start, she showed who john edwards really was as a person, for better or for worse. >> do you think most people have any idea what we're doing? we're not on the stage. you're trained to be careful. you're conditioned to say what's safe. we're conditioned to be political. i actually want the country to see who i am, who i really am. i'd rather be successful or unsuccessful based on who i really am. not based on some plastic ken doll that you put up in front of audiences. i didn't, that's not me. >> be careful what you wish for, john. >> you only come across an artist like luther

we will bring you anything from there as we get it, john. >> john: sandra president electron pushingnadian prime minister justin trudeau who expressed concerns over proposed 25% terrn neighbor. live at the white house and this must have been a very interesting disgusting discussion. what did trump say? trump made the point if canada truly cannot survive without ripping up the united states through trade, maybe canada should become the 51st state of the united states. but canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, did not seem open to the idea of swapping out his title as prime minister for governor. so justin trudeau has to figure out how to fix the trade deficit between the u.s. and canada, and he doesn't have a lot of time to do it. trump said 25% across-the-board tariffs going in place first day as president if this is not fixed. >> he tells the truth and you might not like the truth all the time but he tells it. when he says he is going to do something, he delivers on that promise. we are already seen yet and he has not inaugurated yet. real world leaders coming to the table and ou

they met her husband, his name was john. john creech, not pleasant.hen they came out, they were both crying. keith morrison: they told their mom, creech threatened to kill gavin if he didn't stay away from chandy. so 17 months later, he vanishes after calling chandy? lisa had a very bad feeling. everything changed right then for me. keith morrison: detectives were suspicious, too. remember, chandy told them she didn't see gavin that night. but there was evidence to the contrary. cell phone records showed gavin's phone and chandy's were in the same place that night. a little triangulation narrowed down just where. we came upon this street here and we thought-- this is a likely spot. yeah. keith morrison: a likely spot for a tryst that is. a parking lot that would be empty at night. yes. yes. so this is a pretty lonely spot. it is. keith morrison: so it seemed that on the night he disappeared, gavin smith met chandrika creech for sex, or comfort, or just to talk, something. quite a lot to learn from those phone records. but there was more. a third phone

great to be with you, john.the travel note, tsa to screen 40 million flyers between now and january 2nd. with those crowds come the possibility, brace yourself, cancellations and delays geared to the flight map show hundreds of flights getting off of the ground early today, john. spilling cannon, winter weather can make it tricky with rain and snow in the forecast for a lot of parts of the last chicago o'hare international airport had to deal with a ground stop due to snow and ice. that is where we find kelly saberi who clearly drew the short straw although you are inside, which is some respite, i guess. to what will happen to air travel, kelly, if the government shuts down? >> hi, john and shannon, that is a great question because 6% more people heading through this travel season than last year, you may be sitting at home seeing the crowd behind me and the chaos and wondering what will happen to my christmas trip? rest assured, it will be okay because tsa and air traffic controllers will keep working even if th

and attempted to impose you sanctions on as or by john. but also what for a show for restoring our sovereignty and failed again. as a result, they got really mad at us struggling and they're now using every means at their disposal to discredit us. as for bringing up their colonial passive board, some thought it was just our swipe back at them about, but i think it goes backwards in that. initially, one could say it was probably just best. but now that we're deeply immersed in this issue, now that we've seen the ugly face of french colonial lives, all of the more now that our representatives have talked a lot to residents of french colonies in their countries. but in baku and in other locations, every time we can clearly see what has been hit, the public tie for so many years. why was it hidden? because nobody wanted to engage with them. you thought of nobody wanted that the lack of symbol because they use black may have loveliness. not even we, after our relation sank to a cold war phase, initially kept getting warning messages saying, we

john. >> john: life well lived. jonathan hunt for us.off at the panama canal like we are being ripped off everywhere e else. a secure -- take it back -- >> anita: well, president-elect trump proposing the u.s. take control of the panama canal as he begins to lay out more details about his foreign policy agenda. we will speak to a former chief of the white house securityhe council under trump coming up.y self-care has never been this easy. gummy vitamins from nature made, the #1 pharmacist recommended vitamin and supplement brand. vision insurance doesn't do you any good if you don't use it. just like this treadmill i bought, that i keep saying that i'll use... ...but never do. yeah. with hundreds of frames to choose from, you can put your vision insurance to good use — at america's best. book an exam today. hey, i just got a text from my sister. you remember rick, her neighbor? sure, he's the 76-year-old guy who still runs marathons, right? sadly, not anymore. wow. so sudden. um, we're not about to have the "we need life insurance" conve

john?o zelenskyy meeting with president-elect trump's incoming foreign policy team. met with the envoy to russia and ukraine, keith kellogg on wednesday. and national security. trump is trying to negotiate an end to the war in ukraine or very at least a cease-fire. putin is not likely to just withdraw. how does this end? >> i don't think it ends any time soon, john. putin's goal was to destroy ukraine as a state and install a puppet ream. anything less could be a strategic defeat. this will be a challenge for general kellogg but i can't think of a better person. he has a distinguished record of public service going back to the vietnam war and over to him to unravel this and involve our european allies. our nato members who will be responsible for engaging with ukraine, post-war ukraine, economically, diplomatically and militarily. >> john: so trump's lever average with ukraine, can be if saw don't want to sign onto the cease-fire you are not going anymore more support from the united states

>> john: right.ie baker and senator john kennedy of louisiana. when kennedy brought up the idea inherent physical advantages that a biological male has gone through puberty has over a woman, baker seemed to hedge a little bit. listen here appear. >> there is not a lot of research on it, but it is certainly debatable. >> you think it is debatable? >> i think it is debatable. >> you mean, a biological male has an advantage every time competing against a biological female. is that your testimony? >> no, i think to find the way defined it, yes, i agree with you. >> why don't you go to amazon and buy a spine online? spain went the idea it is debatable whether a biological male has gone through puberty has inherent physical advantage over a woman, in your experience, what would you say to that? >> goodness gracious, we have heard this same argument if at the same and maybe many, many times, myself included. i testified next to the president of the human rights campaign kelly robinson. senator kennedy, sena

what does the alliance between as or by john and rushing me now? so a few years that have passed since signing the declaration, russian president vladimir putin made a very significant and historic visit to us or by john. he had visited us many times, but this visit was special. this was his 1st official state business which took place this summer and yet when we not only confirmed the allied nature of our relations, but also outlined ways to develop our bilateral cooperation further with you, i was, i think that today or one, you know, there is no doubt in either as or by john or rush, i see other that we are reliable in partners. and as i said earlier in difficult times, we have always shown understanding you are the and behaved in a friendly manner towards one another because i'll and i am sure that this will continue on law. sure, of course, we continue to actively find new areas for collaboration and business and tracy. our trade turnover is growing, perhaps not as fast as we'd like, but nevertheless, it's moving in the right direction. i do.

john. >> john: let's bring in alex for more on this. you actually wrote an op-ed about those not too long ago, saying it makes perfect sense. greenland is not for sale, but sometimes are not for sale until they are for sale, and when you look at trump, this is a guy who bought mar-a-lago for $7 million. he knows how to cut a deal. >> president trump is in the best traditions of abraham lincoln, talking about purchasing greenland in the 1860s. ronald reagan who warned -- foolishness, dangerous to our national security. 100% right. greenland adds strategic value to the united states. strategic for national security and defense. and the panama canal in the 1970s was one of the most foolhardy decisions in the history of this country. president trump is probably the first leader since ronald reagan who has the courage to do something about it, and i hope he does. >> john: how do you convince denmark which has ownership over greenland to sell? according to some reports back in 2019, trump was offering to trade puerto rico for it. give them a

john? >> john: always good to see morgan.stration vowing to put an end to the government's dei push. manhattan institute senior fellow chris rufo has been meeting with the trump team, he is up next on what he thinks of how they should go about it. >> sandra: plus president biden issuing a record number of commutations. will he also pardon key democratic allies? brian kilmeade will have brand-new reaction to that just ahead. >> the new rage item this season is a part in. usually around this time people are fighting to get on the inaugural ball list. but we have people come and clean bill clinton, saying how about hillary? give your dog more days of play with librela, a once-monthly injection given by your vet that controls osteoarthritis pain in dogs. librela should not be used in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs. this is the best day of my life! ♪ librela ♪ (dog barks) in this crazy world how do you protect and grow your investment portfolio and your retirement money? the smart investor has their money in a guaranteed pr

john fahy: was held responsible. that mattered was, that he never get the opportunity to do it again. i wanted him dead, i did. lester holt: but tom lowenstein was about to embark on his own investigation into barbara jean horne's murder. and he would soon be faced with a difficult question. what would sharon and john think if it turned out neither jury had heard the real story? doubts surface, as lowenstein dives deeper into the case. was the wrong man behind bars? coming up, that prison snitch who helped secure the verdict. someone was about to snitch on him. tom lowenstein: and i was like, all right, well, do you think he lied about walter ogrod? and she said, yeah, i know he did. and i said, how do you know he did? and she said, because i helped him do it. phyllis hall: didn't bother john at all, putting someone on death row, because of what he got out of it. andrea canning: when "dateline" continues. go-friends, gather! keke! chris! jason! boop! friends. let's go, let's go, friends! hold onto your dice. woohoo!!

john? >> john: let's dig deeper on this by talking with the republican tennessee governor, bill lee. good to have you here come the governor. appreciate it. the country is pretty split on this, strongly favor or somewhat favor 33%, 40%. the pose or oppose, 90% and 32%. so the country is pretty evenly divided. why do you think it's important for this law to be upheld? >> it's not political to me. it's not about right versus left. that it's reasonable versus radical, and at the very least reasonable versus real risk. we should not be performing life altering, permanent procedures on children that have such enormous applications for their life. we have seen countries across the world change their view on this and ban these procedures in europe in 20 states in america. so it really is about the protection of children, and the fundamental responsibility we have to protect kids. >> john: you brought up europe. proponents used to say, look at europe, there are way ahead of us on this and they know

that's not enough for john locke.that is a risk to comfortable self-preservation that could be avoided with an absolutist constitution. a lockean government does not take any risk to comfortable self-preservation because it is not supposed to care about any other common good. john locke's idea of natural rights requires government to sacrifice all other considerations to long-term comfortable self-preservation every time. that's the basic connection between the john locke natural rights doctrine and lockean constitutionalism. what would happen to that chain of deductions if we americans were to alter john locke's first premise about natural rights, suppose we don't think our only natural rights are the life, physical liberty and property. suppose we think our creator has given a certain natural rights, life and liberty but also others, one of which is the pursuit of happiness. further suppose as judge brown was emphasizing a moment ago there's not a single one of us who think the pursuit of happyness is reducible to t
