he has to hold his own and, john, when roger ailes was coaching george h.w. ing somebody with a lot of substantive background there and a lot of experience not like donald trump. >> john phillips, which candidate wants gary johnson on stage less, hillary clinton or donald trump? >> hillary clinton wants no part of gary johnson. if he shows up to the debate, he'll be removed with mace if she has her way. i think he's bleeding more votes from hillary at this point than from trump. and jill stein also is a factor in the election. >> well, but she's not going to get, as of now in the polls, she isn't close to 15%, not double digits. john phillips, mary katharine ham, thank you for being with us. >>> coming up for us, the mother of four gunned down while pushing her 3-week-old baby in a stroller. we're going to talk about this horrible crime, the discussion that really has continued next. a true traveler's journey doesn't end at the horizon. so it most certainly doesn't end... at gate c-47. with travelocity, get help through social media 24/7. travelocity® wander w

john newman hospital. karen rogers is back now with a closer look at the accuweather forecast.nd the humidity is still staying away at least for today. >> reporter: it feels humid but not bad for this time of year. tomorrow is when you sweat it out. and the next day and next day and next day. here is stormtracker 6 live double scan we are dry through the area double scan is busy tracking the storms starting tomorrow. lets look outside and see what is looks like and the action cam got the lucky job hanging out in somer's point new jersey. on the boat sitting in the water, it's nice out there and warm that is for sure. 85 in philadelphia, the dew point 66, not terrible just a bit humid. the pressure holding steady and the winds are southerly and light and the ocean temperature is 79 degrees, the difference from earlier this morning, scott sent this in, you see the fog coming in and we were fogged in earlier this morning. visibility was near 0 in some locations, much better now and the fog has dissipated. satellite 6 along with action radar showing that the clouds moved in and we

jim bakker, roger ailes, david axelrod. johnworried at all about the fact that someone put aside steve bannon and sean hannity at the moment, are you concerned about roger ailes and his involvement just as a matter of p are campaign mechanics. james: i don't know about. campaign mechanics, i think he is very formidable. alex: what about in the debates? james: i think she's going to do fine in the debates. trump has never had a one-on-one debate. entirelyeople, that is different. she has debated president obama any number of times. she had one-on-one's with bernie sanders. she does fine in debates. i should not say this, but you should tamper expectations down but i expect, her to do great. john: she's going to clean his clock? there's a possibility of about james carville being the stand-in for donald trump during the debate. is there any truth to that? james: there's absolutely no truth and it would be stupid for me to do it and i will tell you why. in order to do this right, takes about 100 hours of prep. you have to sit there

john: on facebook ian rogers asks how do you propose dismantling the department of education and irs? these are huge organizations with hundreds of thousands of employees the will there be transitional programs to ensure their employment in the private sector? >> is important to run out, we are not running for king, we are not running for dictator we are running for president and vice president that there are constitutional limits to that. we are going to sign off on it anything that abolishes congress. >> you have to have the political will to do it. if you think they're a bunch of sacred cows there you would never get anything done. i came into office and furloughed 8000 state workers out of a workforce of 72,000 my first day in office. i never got a postcard in my two terms about where does this indispensable state worker go to that sunday one. john: that is what the question is getting at. would you just let them go? >> yeah, absolutely. the government is too big. i'm sorry. john: audience? [applause] on twitter a young man recorded this question about regulating uber and lyft. >>

they don't think about roger williams, if you will, john chafee or mcleod bethune memorial. we've got to do more to promote every unit in the park system. the other is, and we've dealt with this for years, is that the park service in terms of this workforce is more than the range or the interpreter, maybe the biologist or others that are on the front line. and we haven't -- i still say we. the park service hasn't done the best job possible in talking about the breadth of career opportunities. engineers, landscape architects, historians, typists, photographers, graphic artists. almost every discipline under the sun is represented in the workforce of the park service save perhaps a neurosurgeon. but that is not the concept i want to apply to the park service. we need to do a better job telling the young people you don't have to go out there and hug a tree to be a park service steward. you can be an engineer or landscape architect. appreciate that. >> i'll try to be brief since i think we're probably getting low on time. i was driving through -- staying in shenandoah national p

note that john marshall has to swear in jefferson just as roger tawney is going to be swearing in abraham lincoln and you remember the slightly flubd swearing in when obama was sworn in by john roberts. these are slightly tense moments. i'm getting ahead of the story a bit. marbury versus madison is conventionally thought as john marshall inn validating act of congress, but the real drama is john marshall against thomas jefferson because marshall's opinion goes on and on about how lawless the jefferson administration has been, in the same way that today's court is being invited to say, well, the obama administration is lawless on immigration policy, and the obama administration was lawless on obamacare and not just in the law, but the implementation of the law, and the obama administration is lawless on some of their carbon rules and the epa. so this is nothing new. it's a feature of the distinct structural pattern of a presidency that's a four-year term with this tidal feature and justices who have life tenure. so marbury is a drama. now flash forward. roger tawney and abraham lincoln. a

. >> "the now"'s tanya rogers teaching style. >> mark john and sophia, played uno with me. they have known each other for a couple of years. >> i love reading and math and art and writing. >> reporter: sophia and her friends are part of a social immersion program started by dr. rebecca after teaching segment need kids for 14 years. >> when i looked at the kids with autism that had significant deficits and social behavior and i was able to prompt those students to model after the typically developing students. >> reporter: her goal to help students on the autism spectrum succeed in general education classrooms by spending the day with their piers, learning about leadership. >> i didn't know what to expect is less people and you have a right to express yourself. >> reporter: mark and sophia improving their social skills. >> the moore i was here, the more i found out i had in common with everyone. >> it's educational-based and nobody is left behind, everybody needs to progress and if they are not progressing, we need to go back and figure out what we can do differently. or how

roger stone is not a part of the campaign, and i don't represent him. johnnfidant of mr. trump doing that? >> i don't know what roger stone is talking about. you're going to have to talk to roger stone about. what i cannot do is sit here and try to tell you something. i do appreciate the effort to tie him to the campaign, but i will say again, roger stone is not a part of the campaign, and you will need to talk to him. mark: do you consider the matter with the khans to be over and done with? >> i do, absolutely. mr. trump responded after the speech, and it was mr. khan who went out and did all the tv shows. mr. trump responded again. i don't see that happening in the future. mr. trump said he had nothing to do with the death of mr. khan's son who is definitely a war hero. it's disconcerting on why this attack was even lunch at mr. trump considering mr. trump had nothing to do with the iraq war, whereas hillary clinton voted for it and she didn't support the troop surge. then she wanted to go in afghanistan and libya. donald trump has nothing to do with that

rogers trying to be john wayne. [laughter] absolutely hilarious. so, you had to get past that, past the supermarket scanner and the wimp factor. i was out talking for a couple of months and it is interesting that people are at once very nostalgic -- we have if i may in 25 years moved from a republican president who could not talk about himself to -- [laughter] so -- it is like what henry adams said about the movement from washington to grant, it disapproved darwin. people have lived through it and they think they know what they think about him. so i had to fight against that and make a historical case for him. the line between journalism and history. it took that long i think to get a view of him which i happen to think is the truest view that i can write. he is an underestimated president who had enormous political faults, failed in the fundamental political test of a presidency which is being reelected. but i do believe that he did a lot of things wrong on the way to power but once he had power, he did the right thing at his own political cost. h
