. >> john kirk is certain kelly nash has caught caddie on camera. >> you have one of the best piecesch in 1967. >> the crazyist thing is the footage that kelly nash taped. i've seen every creature on the water and i don't know what that was. that's what got us to want to go up and try to find it. and figure this out. >> jonathan hillstrant king crab captain and star of deadliest catch believes caddy is a giant sturgeon. he set sail hoping to prove his theory. >> the anchorage daily news put a $100,000 reward on this thing. wouldn't that be nice if i can bring this baby in. >> despite an exhaustive search, he returns empty handed. >> i really had high hopes about finding this thing. i would love to go back up there and when i get a little older and more time on my hands, i'll go up there and disprove or prove this thing. >> until then, the myth of caddy lives on. perhaps the mystery is what we love most of all. >> do they see him? >> racing against the clock. >> he's right there! >> to save lives. >> get out! >> this went from being a curiosity to a catastrophe. >> hurry! >> literally

anyone -- cornyn, john barrasso, mark kirk called on rhodes to be fired. early today, earnest slapped that down. >> this is publicity stunt senator kirk attempted one week ago today. i think pretty much everybody ignored it then. i will ignore it now. reporter: rhodes appeared at an event in d.c. here this afternoon. he was asked about the "new york times" interview and said people who know him know what he cares about and know how he approaches issues. that at a separate event. of course rhodes not at the hearing on the hill this morning. deirdre. deirdre: indeed, blake, thank you so much for the update. blake burman with me there. our legal eagle, judge andrew napolitano is with me now. judge, i am so glad to see you. first of all, ben rhodes a no-show, does that prove he has something to hide? >> he is know show for two reasons. he doesn't want to explain how he told congress and the american public one version of events and "new york times" another version of events diametrically opposed. the second reason he was a no-show because he was invited to att

among other things, and judge, the gop senators mark kirk, john cornyn, john barrasso, three gop senatorshat signed that letter. they're calling on the white house to fire ben rhodes before he further tarnishes the office of the president. ben rhodes a no-show today. >> i doubt that subpoenaing him will make a difference, not one bit of difference in the world. executive privilege, interestingly is not in the constitution at all. it is a creature of case law. it has been created over the years by the courts to protect the separation of powers. it intended to, really a balancing act between the president's right to have confidential communications with his trusted advisors and congresses right to know. in foreign policy the president's right to executive privilege is at its strongest that weighs, compared to for example, president bush asserted it with regard to katrina communications that weighs in obama's favor. on other hand the counterargument congress's right to know and need for oversight giving iran nuclear weapons is equallily higher. sandra: kennedy, ben rhodes made the case to "n

both presidents jeb bush, senator john mccain, bruce rauner, senator mark kirk of illinois, senator richard byrd of north carolina, they all say they're not coming to the convention. senator kelly ayote in tough race in new hampshire said it is unlikely. do you worry about some key leaders sitting it out? >> no. many of these people didn't come to the last two conventions and so, i think you have to kind of look at it that way. if they're in cycle, most of the time they're not coming to convention. off the top of my head you asking that, i don't think claire mccaskill went to convention four years ago, did she? i don't know if anyone made a big deal about it. it happens. people have make their own choices. >> as you know this is bigger issue. cnn diedra walsh reported quietly officials in the highest rung of republican pub leadership are advising rank-and-file members to stay away from cleveland. one top leader told them to hold rallies and town halls during the time. july convention a seniorsenate gop aide echoed that consensus. do you fear among your leaders that cleveland will be perhaps

john mccain. we need leaders to stand up to donald trump. >> i'm ann kirk patrick and i approve this message. >> she's running tied in the polls with john mccain at 42-42 i think. >> the irony is that john mccain, has often been challenged from the right, now he's getting hammered because he's not right enough. voters get tired of people who have been there for a very long time but this could actually end john mccain's career. >> but liz, john mccain, if this continues is simply going to have to make the decision about do i come out and say i am not supporting the republican nominee for president. >> yeah, i assume that may be where this is going. it's very hard to say definitively. i have no inside knowledge as to john mccain's thought process but having worked to elect him when howard was chairing the dnc. i certainly do think there are a lot of areas where john mccain has deep policy disagreements with donald trump and it would be very hard for him to say anything that would be defensive of donald trump. i think with other people that's going to be a different equation. obviously, donald trump did

calculation being made by paul ryan or charlie demp or jeff flake or john mccain, or by in-cycle republicans from ron johnson to mark kirk to kelly ayotte, none of them are making calculations based on the personal force -- >> no, they're trying to minimize the number of people do they alienate. the question, do they alienate the base, or the in the middle who are turned off by donald trump and potentially less turned off by hillary clinton. >> but the problem is, i don't think you can maintain this relationship status that is untenable. you either have to break up or you have to commit to each other? >> dtr, define the relationship. >> i thought you were going to say something else, which is not what happens on the right. >> has to define the relationship with the r. crucial. the point being, you have to make some -- i guess my point is, you cannot maintain, particularly through six months, and particularly just for the next two months, and particularly not for the week of the convention, you cannot maintain the posture of official republican dom towards the party's nominee that you're waiting to see -- >> and you can't

i'm talking about ron johnson of wisconsin, kirk of illinois, kelly in new hampshire. rob portman in ohio. it's fair to say john mccain in arizona could be vulnerable. mitch mcconnell said the meeting was constructive. i had the opportunity to talk to the chairman of the foreign relations committee, bob corker of tennessee, who has been mentioned as a possible trump vp pick about what he understood his colleagues thought of the meeting. take a listen. do you think it's a good step in the right direction? do you think your colleagues are getting to full-on yes with trump? >> i was not in the meeting. i heard comments at lunch. i got the strong sense that everyone who attended really felt good about the meeting. so i -- i would settle and say not only did they -- i've never met him, but -- not only did they say they enjoyed the meeting, but they really liked him. so i think -- from what i can tell, the mean, the reports to us today at lunch were very positive. >> reporter: so looks like the charm offensive by donald trump is certainly wooing lawmakers. the number two in the senate leadership tweeting out a pictur

john adams wanted to use that with people of lower means. we do not want the rabble participating. kirkally predicted the american middle class was growing. it is something the world had never seen before. if he keeps going like this and this happens for another couple of decades, you are going to see people who are going to have this leisure time and they a going tcause trouble. thiss the rabble. ,o bac to thomasobbes without thiron fisf church or sta life wod the nty, brutish, a short being the first of modern-day conservative philosophy spurs. -- philosophers. kirt predicted there would be got if the middle classs too big. so let's slow down the pace of stuff. he understands the arc of history. wrong with that. legitimate worldview. his book had been out for a couple of decades. a soft-spoken lawyer , i spokesented tobacco with him, read about him, watching videotapes about him, and have come to the conclusion that he was actually a good and decent man of good heart and thought he was doing the best for his country. there was no villainy in this. in 1971 it looked like russell kirk's

. >> john mccain is a classic example, comes from a state with a significant number of hispanic votes. he's got a tough reelection fight with congresswoman kirki'm sure there is really, he's really cross pressured here because obviously the immigration issue is very volatile there. and he's sort of caught in the cross hairs that's going to be challenging for him. . democrats will try and go on with all the latinos. very interesting to see if somebody like mccain can insulate himself. has his own brand. i think it'll be much more difficult for somebody like kelly ayotte in new hampshire. she was on our air and somebody asked her, i think it was jake tapper asked her if she had heard donald trump's foreign policy speech. i hadn't heard it. i'm working hard on the issues people of new hampshire are facing. but it is going to be so hard,en how hard it was for people to separate -- >> there are very, very raw nerves right now with those inside the republican party. as you look back to 2008, 2012, when mccain campaigned and the romney campaign moved very quickly to try and consolidate the party behind the nominee. and there was a lot of outreach in

john chambers, chairman of cisco. they have been trying to digitize the whole country, in fact. we will speak with former u.s. trade ambassador ron kirk"bloomberg ." francine: i am really looking forward to the apple conversation. the finance minister pushing apple before the standalone shocks, to have 30% of their components made in india. let's get to a bit of a brexit conversation let's focus on pound. we heard in the last 55 minutes that the s&p global ratings is saying that a brexit would not just weaken the pound, it would jeopardize its status as a world currency used in trade. let's go to sebastien galy. chris verrone is from strata strategas.om we were debating this in the break. it is not even a reserve currency anymore, is it? sebastien: not at all. what happened in the 1950's is we had a sterling system that was changed to a dollar system. in the 1970's they liberalized the system. sterling is the reserve currency only in the sense that people have some money and a few it is a place where people invest and put money in the foreign reserves. it is not a core for an reserve, it is just part of the places where you put mo
