[applause] good morning, everybody. my name is wilson compton. i am the

two sources that one of the last exchanges between president trump and his former chief of staff john kellyhen trump asked kelly whether he was going to write a book about his time in the white house. kelly responded that he had plans to write a book, detailing his tumultuous tenure in the white house. he wouldn't do it until the president was gone. he said, that could change and he would publish it if the president said anything damaging about him. that deal has largely held up the two men haven't said many disparaging things about one another. what it highlights is the president's concern and all of these jilted aids who leave the white house. you see publishers surrounding them, offering advanced book deals. what we were told brooke in that situation, the president was fuming about this, he didn't want to take her calls. aids had told him, look, we don't want her as an enemy. she had close proximity to the president, she knows a lot. she could give a tell all book. he ended up taking her call, now we have learned that the white house aids and others who are in trump's orbit are trying to

fired by john kelly. i said previous twitter john kelly who fired omarosa.'t know about quibbling for that and the mooch after his 11-day run. lots and lots of ways to be fired by donald trump. notice what wasn't on a screen? fired in person by donald trump. he's not big in that. >> how about that? and came to partial fame. going down the firing rabbit hole, thank you for that refresher. meantime, lawmakers are looking at how to stop more mass shootings like the tragedies in texas and ohio. the house judiciary committee taking up several gun bills to limit access to high capacity magazines block anyone of misdemeanor hate crimes buying firearms and for states to adopt referred to as red flag laws. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell resisted bringing the bill to the senate expand federal background checks or any gun legislation to the floor waiting for a directive from president trump. at the white house yesterday also president trump awarded medals of valor to the dayton police officers who took out the shooter last month. who wasn't there, says she wasn

but i'd raead it, but do we really need a tell-all book from john kelly?eems like his face told us all we need to know about what was going on there. here's one we won't have to wait until trump is out of office for. sarah huckabee sanders is writing a book. we also learned the title. it will be called "this is not a book." and, you know, as press secretary, sarah huckabee sanders worked about as hard as her boss is working. she went 94 days without holding a press briefing. chapter four, sarah sits in her office for a month, evaluating mars bars. i imagined a lot of things would happen to this country when donald trump became president, never predicted it would mean more books. now i'd like that focus on my administration, because from time to time i send my cousin sal out to have fun with innocent delivery. we'll call for a delivery and let the fun begin. usually sal will play the role of the customer, the owner of the house. this time we mixed things up. in order to prank a delivery man, sometimes you have to become a delivery ♪ >> hi, how are you today

this is different from an exit from someone like john kelly or other officials. you have an idea law in john bolton, someone who has real policy disagreements with president trump who's also willing to speak out. he doesn't speak about the president's psychological fitness or anything like that, but thinks about his policy fitness and whether he's taking the country in the right direction. a new kind of challenge for this white house as you have a assertive former national security adviser, very savvy in the ways of washington talking about his own deinside this white house and framing it in his own way. >> ned, a look ahead. bolton's replacement will be president trump's fifth national security adviser. how does this constant turnover, ned, impact national security? >> well, i think you have to look at track record to see what the president may have in store. he's had three national security advisers so far. the first today was of course in court waiting for federal sentencing for lying to federal investigators. the second was in ingloriously pushed out and bolto

people like john kelly, who several sources said to me, john kelly would have been monitoring this call and would have had an order, essentially, of managing what was said. there would have been talking points if h.r. mcmaster had been involved in this call and encouraging the president to stick to them. there would have been talking points if john bolton had been a full partner for the, as the national security adviser. john bolton was on the outs on july 25th when this call took place. a lot of the people that sort of provided guardrails for the president are not here anymore. and that has worried a lot of the president's deepest allies. >> thank you very much for joining us with your breaking news reporting. really appreciate it. >> of course. >> larry, let me go straight to you with your reaction to what carol is revealing in her reporting. >> well, there's always been a fine line in terms of distributing presidential transcripts around government. you want to distribute them far enough that they can be of value. to the execution of the foreign polsz policy and national security pla

we saw this with former chief of staff reince priebus when he was fired, and then john kelly came in, and when john kelly was trying to get the president to do things he didn't want to do, he started to call reince priebus. so, it's kind of an interesting window into how the president sort of casts about as he becomes sort of restless with somebody who came in, as john bolton did, with huge fanfare and was seen initially as a real favorite of the president's. >> i don't know, bolton could be leaving the president's world for good. peter, john bolton didn't just talk to peter alexander. he spoke to you yesterday as well. given all of the people who left the administration but who haven't really -- i don't know how to say it -- spilled the beans or said much about what went on inside, do you think bolton will be friend? it's amazing that he wias reaching out to so many reporters himself yesterday. >> well, i think he wanted to set the record straight as he saw it. i don't think he wanted to be, you know, living under president trump's narrative, which so many others who have left the wh

my name is john kelly. many of you probably saw me on the last talk. i'm a researcher and inclination from the hospital and medical school in boston. i'm happy to be here. paul tasked me with the moderator rock this morning. i will chime in as well when i feel appropriate. we've got such an expert, to be up here on the stage with all these fantastic experts. what i thought we would do to begin with, i want to get your questions, i think in many ways that's what we all want to get, what is on your mind. i want to make sure we leave enough time. many of your thoughts and questions about what's going on and what we need more research on. the pressing issues you are facing. what i have suggested to the panel to begin with is for each panel member to come up and talk seven minutes, tell you who they are and give one or two new newsworthy tidbits on research and addiction. any volunteers to start? thank you, wilson.

[applause] >> i believe in you. [laughter] >> i'm happy. i'm feeling terrific. i'm still feeling happy and healthy and terrific so, alright, what i can see here, and maybe you can gather around here. you can see what i'm seeing. so, what i was going to tell you is this, ok? been reflecting because it's almost 50 years since the declaration of the war on drugs happened under nixon. then as was declared some of you may remember or you can still see on youtube, is next in declaring the war on drugs and drug abuse as public enemy number one. and the story i wanted to tell you today was how we've come from the rhetoric that stands, the harsh rhetoric and harsh stance on the war on drugs, the very nature of that terminology

former white house chief of staff john f kelly has also benefited from the revolving door. in 2016, he was -- or, rather, until 2016, he was commander of u.s. southern command. he then worked at pfizer which contracts extensively with the pentagon. they paid him $166,666. and then later in 2016, he was nominated by trump to head the department of homeland security. now, as secretary of homeland security, john kelly oversaw numerous civil liberties abuses including the detention of migrant children. he went on to work as white house chief of staff and now sits on the board of directors of caliber international, a company that runs federally funded detention camps for those migrant children. given these lucrative opportunities, bureaucrats within the security state have strong incentives to direct scarce resources towards funds in the military complex. regardless of whether those projects serve the public interest. by elected officials, they face similar incentives. they can fund militarist projects that employ people in their district or home states. meanwhile, most ordinary

with caliber and international were secretary john kelly sits on the board and they wrote in the filings for the sec, they announced plans to go public. border enforcement and immigration policy is the driving significant for our company. at what cost? to the human experience. and to this stain on our country and the way were treating these children into here we continue to pray and not understand clearly that we need to understand that the migrant patterns are patterns and they go up and down and we want to be ready but there's other programs that exist like the case management that i understand, homeland security program not under your purview but it works and has great complaints with families getting to court, making to their asylum cases are heard and have a fair decision and what does it cost, $56 a day. these other programs that i would think, when we are experiencing a decline in population, why are we not looking at those type of programs that take kids out of detention and with their families in half compliance, why are we not looking at increasing the nonprofits that can save

[applause]

we got also secretary john kelly, we all know john kelly, retired 4-star p marine general who served briefly, to briefly i think, and succeed by kirstjen nielsen and now with kevin mcaleenan. you are all good people. i think all exceptional people and your leadership has been a blessing for not just the department but our country. i want to ask you a quick question about leadership and leadership churn. when jeh johnson was secretary, tom coburn and i met with him and said you have all these holes. look at the leadership structure of homeland security of the deputy position, deputy secretary, assistant secretary on down the line in our muscles. it looked a little like i call it swiss cheese. we worked hard to do something about that. secretary johnson, would you reflect on that again in context of what's going on today within the department of homeland security, the leadership? >> that's kind of an unpleasant memory. there were a lotjot of vacancis when i stepped into the department of december 2013. you and i and tom coburn spent time talkingng about that and it was impressed upon m

. >> it certainly makes you think maybe john kelly exerted a lot more control in ret row spect than it appeared at the time. the president took a page from the trump play book and tried to blame democrats and everyone else for what he had done, but the truth of the matter is this isn't done. you don't ask foreign leaders to investigate your political rivals. >> well, that was the whole point of the whole mueller investigation trying to figure out had he done this. and now we have him saying, well, this time i did it. i don't think people on the other side understand that this scared the bajebers out of democrats. the idea you might have donald trump calling on foreign leaders, and at what point does this stop, and i think that's why you saw pelosi saying we've got to do something. i'm a flashing yellow light of caution though on this whole idea of impeachment because if there is a risk for democrats. number one, you're going to suck out all the oxygen for the primary for our issues. number two, you're going to make trump a martyr in the eyes of a lot of people. but the main thing is yo

mcmaster, john kelly, mattis would push back. the president felt constrained. ed to surround himself with people that he thought were more in agreement with him. that's when john bolton lapped -- landed in the spot. he replaces mcmaster that is at a hoover institute, former general in iraq and afghanistan. so i'm wondering if the next one is a military person and maybe if pompeo who helped pick the secretary defense, mark esper will be involved in this. >> and kelly kraft was just appointed to the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. today. so we're in a situation where you have all of these moving chess pieces and to me, this is unusual. it's not always the case that you don't have a u.s. ambassador to the u.n., that you're moving around different people. >> you're pointing that we do have -- >> we just literally confirmed her. >> she was being greeted at the white house today. she got confirmed a few weeks ago. >> if you know longer feel if you can serve the president's interests, you should resign. >> or if he tells you, which is what the president said he did. >> we'

you remember all of the talk about john kelly and mcmaster and mattis, the generals would hold him backlton, whatever you think of him is willing to say publicly donald trump is a liar. that is part of the reason he is out. now we have an acting chief of staff, critics outside and trump says maybe he gets to be who he always was. >> i look at people as being in many cases pretty vicious. unless you are going to have a certain way you will be eaten alive. >> joined by someone that was picked at and eaten at a little bit but is a live. co-author of art of the deal. he is here in our state of mind. nice to see you. >> nice to see you. >> i am go to let the viewers in on how it works. sometimes wooey reporeport it o bring in guests. you came to us and said it is getting worse. how do you know? >> i think of the trump that i knew in 1988 or 1989. he was relatively speaking relaxed most of the time. he could occasionally be funny. he had a live or let live attitude, moment to moment. so long as i can do whatever i want, you do your thing. now he swings like a spinning top between megalomania.

pompeo is the last person standing and that everyone else, mcmaster, mattis, coats, tillerson, john kellye to work with the president and they are bitter about their experience and that is where we are. >> a lot of bitter people. everybody stand by. a lot more on all of the breaking news right after this. at fidelity, we believe your money should always be working harder. that's why, your cash automatically goes into a money market fund when you open a new account. and fidelity's rate is higher than e-trade's, td ameritrade's, even 10 times more than schwab's. plus only fidelity has zero account fees and zero minimums for retail brokerage and retirement accounts. just another reminder of the value you'll only find at fidelity. open an account today. you'll only find at fidelity.

the premise it's been spoken to for the first time 13 days into the administration following by john kelly the head o at the head ofe department secretary of the department of homeland security. a month later they launched an operation at the san diego center that is a child center operation done essentially secretly, but the premise that has been throughout from then until now has been if we inflict drama on the refugees including refugee children, we will discourage immigration, and they justified it in morality what i find is utterly evil and dark and unacceptable under any code, religious tradition, moral framework they justified by saying that it will deter immigration. this is wrong. it's like lady liberty's torch has been snuffed out.

remember former chief of staff john kelly said it was crazytown, the worst job i ever had?e a whole book called "team of vipers" saying this white house is out of control. those are from people who have seen it. bolton also said donald trump was a huge liar, basically. lou dobbs has a different view. >> it couldn't be more positive. the mood in that white house couldn't be more high energy. i want you to know the joint is hopping. at every level on every floor, this white house is energized. there is sunshine beaming throughout the place and on almost every face. it's wintning center, and our president is at the top of his game. >> it's winning center. i wonder who wrote that. lou dobbs basically telling everyone to ignore all the chaos that's out there. kind of like the scene from "naked gun" when a rocket explodes in a fireworks factory. >> excuse me. excuse me. nothing to see here! move on! please disburse! nothing to see here. >> it's a winning factory. now, why does dobbs overstate it this much? he's not just speak to go hing own audience, which may overlap with trump'

don mcgahn, the most named witness in the mueller report, john kelly who who memos about kushner's background check, admiral rogers, that he wasn't directed to do anything when it came to russia, mattis who resigned, chris wray, john bolden who today said he disagreed with the policy of disengagement and didn't think donald trump should make the phone call. tom bossert account yesterday said he tried over and over and over to say the ukraine thing was b.s., trump just fixated it, ands person giving him the political crack, rudy giuliani, now subpoenaed. >> it's this argument that donald trump has adult supervise in the white house is completely false. there is no adult supervise. no one can reach him. all those folks who are gone now confessing their sins, or the people that are there right now whispering off the record to reporters saying it's terrible, he won't listen. guess what? they all have a responsibility. the ones that are gone have a responsibility to speak he truthfully, the others have an obligation to quit or -- that's because trump is a reqless gambler, and john's point is corre

false, why don't we have current situations from the chief of staff, or even former chief of staff john kelly just left, security adviser john bolton, why can't you get these people to make statements saying, doesn't happen, we didn't see this. put statements out saying, i'm willing to testify to congress. it's all right here. answer it. >> but john, the central allegation of the complaint is undisputed. the central allegation of the complaint is that the president used his authority in a conversation with a foreign head of state to get political dirt on his political opponents and conduct other investigation relating to conspiracy theories about the 2016 election. that is undisputed. the president has admitted it. it is in the text of the summary of the phone call that has been released. we can now read it. we see it. they're not claiming it's not true. the white house released it. what the president is saying is that it's okay to do. and that's the fundamental issue. >> the admission from this president took place over the course of about a week. he called this fake news, and then over the

fronts in these trump investigations, considering subpoenas for a different set of trump officials, john kelly, jared kushner, jeff sessions and rod rosenstein, pushing for documents related to reports that trump was dangling pardons for officials who were asked to potentially break the law in order to pursue what he wanted on immigration and border policy. and it goes beyond the judicial committee. oversight committee demanding information about the trump's properties, the military spent over $200,000 of your money at the golf resort in scotland, just one resort. intell chair adam schiff threatening to subpoena intell chief because of a story we've also been covering. they're refusing to turn over a whistle blower complaint to congress which is required by law. schiff says this has never happened before. there are many defenses of allegations, whistleblowers or obstruction. consider here in the 24 hours outside of that lewandowski hearing that the trump administration isn't makes those broad defenses so much as offering a public strategy that ranges from hiding information like that whistlebl

he was an outside adviser, don mcgahn, john kelly, under subpoena by this committee have been blocked by a white house who say they have absolute immunity lewandowski doesn't get to assert that. so the question really is here, what do they expect to accomplish here. as a political matter, ali, you know, you can make a case anybody who cares about this has already made up their mind about whether or not the president obstructed justice but there's another issue here which is for history we have a special counsel report that suggested that the president of the united states obstructed justice and that lewandowski was a witness to some of that but it doesn't come out and say that here's a chance to get him on the record, under oath, describing that episode where he was ordered by the president, according to the mueller report, to make this go away to tell the attorney general to not investigate and only future appearances. guess what, he never carried that out and a great question would be to ask him why. the logical answer is because he suspected it might be illegal. >> joyce, what do y

when john kelly was the head of dhs and ultimately chief of staff we have had conversations.nd there are some parts of the border where a physical barrier actually makes sense. but there is also a lot of parts of the border where border patrols response time to a threat is measured in hours to days. so if you are trying to respond to a threat and it takes you hours or days, that's -- the wall is not a physical barrier. now there is a problem. you have -- you know 35 billion with a b dollars worth of drugs comings into the country illegally. we know the humanitarian crisis is going on along the border we should be able to defend our borders and we should know what's going back and forth across the border. the way we do that is technology. the way we do that is additional manpower. >> let me just sort of on the two points, right, drugs and people. >> right. >> we know that most drupgs comes through ports of sbroe. >> that's right. >> people are not driving to a part of the desert and bringing -- cartels are sophisticated and have enough people to bribe and get over on to drive

kirstjen nielsen and john kelly at dhs. dan coats, mike rogers, u.n. ambassador, nikki haley.ot all directly clashed with the president before leaving or being shown the door, but whatever the motivation was, the amount of turnover in what used to be seen as critical positions is unprecedented. when many of them leave, they're being replaced essentially by temps. these are the acting members of his cabinet now, including charles cupperman, the new acting national security adviser. the president has said in his words, i like acting, because he said it gives him more flexibility, and we might add it cuts down on dissenting points of view, which might be fine for a president who considers himself his own best press secretary, his own best intelligence analyst, even his own best hurricane forecaster. when asked when he called for and canceled the taliban meetings, i took my own advice. our jim acosta is at the white house. he has some new reporting on it. jim, what have you learned from sources? >> reporter: anderson, we know that one of the reasons why the president decided to fi

the discussion there was sort of an agreement between you and john kelly and h.r.with it. even if it was difficult in the administration because of your duty to the country. >> well, you always have to stick with it to your duty. now, there comes a point where if you don't think you are contributory to success, then it has to be reconsidered. >> martha: did the three of have you an agreement like that. >> no. no. we served according to probably a creedo of the u.s. military because we had been brought up in it. all three of us carried out our ability to the best of our ability. >> martha: more with general mattis after this. stay with us. rson that books their own vacation. a booker. scootin' through life at seven miles an hour. awesome. you see, bookers just go for it. they book a surfside resort, order a fourth taco even though three was plenty...

. >> yeah, so the president's premise, following john kelly, head of homeland security, a month later they launched operation in san diego sector, child separation down essentially secretly. from starting the administration to now, if we inflict trauma we will discourage immigration and justify the immorality, the, what i find utterly evil and dark and not acceptable under any ethical code, religious tradition, moral framework and deter immigration qe hurt kids because it will deter immigration, this is wrong, it's like we -- it's like lady liberty's torch has been snuck out. we have to relight it and restore the united states of america. [applause] >> you worked with jeff sessions as senator, you worked with him on successful legislation and you went and talked to him as attorney general about this policy and what kind of reaction did you get? >> i thought i could have a personal connection or conversation because i knew him and had worked with him and i had seen how this was unfolding on the border and jeff sessions hadn't really seen it himself. the american people will not stand f

only okay and they are not falling off the rails because we have mcmaster and we have maddis and john kelly and of course they are gone and the policies are still the same. the president is the decider in chief. reagan had a very chaotic -- including one of having the iran contra scandal, he plowed through a lot of national security advisors and it was a fairly chaotic process. we remember reagan for brilliant arms control victories and really managing the cold war really well. focus on the outcomes not the process. >> thank you very much for that jim. meantime staunch trump critic and liberal billionaire george soros now giving the president some rare praise. what he says is the president's greatest achievement now. should other democrats give him credit as well? with sofi, get your credit cards right- by consolidating your credit card debt into one monthly payment. and get your interest rate right. so you can save big. get a no-fee personal loan up to $100k. doprevagen is the number oneild mempharmacist-recommendeding? memory support brand. you can find it in the vitamin aisle in stores e

remember, we saw this with his former chief of staff, reince priebus then, you know, john kelly started telling him things he needed to do that he didn't want to do so he called reince priebus. it's kind of a familiar pattern but one that certainly was unexpected. >> carol, you've also got some reporting and there's sort of something in the water about the coverage of the scuttled meeting with the taliban, what donald trump expected was for everyone to fall in line, that the vice president when he put out that tweet saying, i never disagreed with donald trump, was what he expected from everybody. he didn't get that from john bolton. >> that's right. and, you know, and he hasn't and he wouldn't. that's just not how john bolton operates, but, you know, if you take all the culmination of tensions, of policy differences that over the last however many months it's been since bolton came in, i think '17, you know, that -- if you take that and then what happened over the weekend where, you know, there was reporting including by us at nbc about pence agreeing with bolton and expressing concerns

donald trump has raided that money now and he's diverting it to a vanity project that john kelly, that lindsey graham that john cornyn, that so many republicans said will not help. will not help keep the border secure. but he's actually taking real money away from real military construction issues and readiness issues and you look at thom tillis was it $80 million he stole from north carolina, he is talk about alabama? donald trump doesn't give a damn about north carolina and apparently thom tillis can't do anything to stop that. martha mcsally didn't have what it took to protect arizona from being looted. you look at the rest of the people on the list, lindsey graham. all the golfing in the world couldn't stop the president from looting $11 million from the good people of south carolina. $8 million from cory gardner in colorado. i mean, if -- if they're golfing with president trump around the clock and he steals money for a project that was already funded to the tune of $21 billion in a bill that stephen miller nixed. donald trump's problem shouldn't be with democrats. it should be wi

that again, the homestead site and the operator was chosen back in late 2015, long before general john kelly joined any of the companies that you mentioned. yes, we did renew that contract with them. i would just say that, again, i want to reiterate my statements earlier, i am absolutely committed to, as is assistant secretary johnson, and secretary asar, to having as many permanent network beds as possible. the kchallenge we have is at th end of the day, the final say in the facilities being licensed does not lie with the federal government, it requires a partnership with the states and the local communities and we are as, again, starting to see some resistance to that, and that's very unfortunate, i would respectfully request this committee to help us as one of the stake holders in the process, help us achieve that goal of expanding the type of shelters that we have in ms. frankel's district that we went through, 140 beds for teenage girls and it's a wonderful facility. that's what we want, and we're working towards that, but to commander white's point, when we see huge influxes of childre

in february, 1898, two months before the united states declared war on spain, john gene kelly, the seventh's first kernel, asked for maps showing the proposed location of the monuments. kelly had been appointed by the west virginia governor to oversee the placement and dedication of the seventh memorial. as well as those of other west virginia monuments to the first, third cavalry, and first west virginia artillery. of the four memorials, three are small and plain looking, while at seventh is the most ornate. but even the seventh is monday and. -- is rather mundane. a typical, off-the-shelf, standing soldier statue of the type that was mass-produced in the postwar era. depicted in his winter overcoat and facing eastward in the direction of the july 2 attack by the louisiana tigers, the stone sentinel looks more like he was fighting the winter battle of fredericksburg rather than the midsummer fight. the part of the seventh monument funded by the west virginia legislature served as the base of the memorial, while at the seventh veterans association paid for the soldier. the second west virgin

john foley. with bloomberg's jason kelly. this week brought pretty of turbulence to wework.founder adam neumann stepped down from his role on tuesday to salvage the planned ipo. the copresident and chief financial officer and sebastian cunningham, the vice-chairman, were named co-ceos. i discussed the shakeup. >> i think the writing was on the wall. this is where the momentum was. my reaction is to think of this in three chapters. there is the past and things that were very good and things around the leadership that were not good. the leadership had a lot of the power that built the company. then there is the present and i have to applaud everybody involved in how smooth this is going. it was just a few weeks ago this started and they already have some replacements, temporary or permanent. adam, the way he stepped aside, was respectable. so i credit the company for that. it is different from movers -- uber's. it took a lot of time for leadership to change. then there is the question about the future. to circle back and talk about the timing, i think it is unlikely that anyth
