scott decision. the issue is ultimately whether sanfordtt can sue john by dred scott claiming he is a citizen of the state of missouri. his argument is he is a free person and he lives in missouri. therefore, he must be a citizen of missouri and he can sue john sanford, who happens to claim dred scott as his slave. but for a variety of odd reasons, he has become a citizen of new york. so you can live in new york but he can own a slave in missouri. my students say how can you own a slave if you are a citizen in new york i give them the answer, you can fly to denver and buy a certain vegetable substance and use it legally in denver, and you can register a deposit box and keep it in denver and live in a state where it is illegal to own it. you can own things in the state, even if you can't bring them into your home state. john sanford, a citizen at new york. dred scott susan as a citizen of missouri. notquestion is whether or dred scott consume as a citizen of missouri. say henford's lawyers cannot sue because he cannot be a citizen of missouri. the united states district judge who hears the case, who

john stanford wins the suit and appeals nothing. drew scott loses the suit and appeals on the merits of the outcome of the case. drew scott should have one but does not appeal citizenship. the case then goes to the united supreme court in to the great shock of everybody, chief citizen ship the question even though he had not been regulated. the court must always regulate whether mr.'s diction. if dred scott is not a citizen, the court does not have jurisdiction to we will get to that in another minute or two. electors in each state should have the qualifications of each elector. you can run and vote for a member of congress. you can vote for a presidential elector if you are allowed to from representatives of your low house in the state legislator. that is all it says. it does not say who these people are. it is entirely up to the state. if massachusetts allows free blacks to vote for members in massachusetts legislature, which matches uses does, and there are federal electors and they could vote for members of congress. article one, section t

john boehner next to a bloody mary offering the blunt assessment of the republican party, saying it's in the middle of a nap right now. let's discuss with a couple of lifetime, longtime republicans, scottand anna navarro. we can all agree that john boehner is living his best life right now. this concept, as he puts it, that there is no republican party, sit a trump party. the republicans are taking a nap. >> i don't know if they're taking a nap or in a self-induced coma or they're just playing stupid. but, look, i think there's a point to what john boehner said. a lot of us feel the traditional republican party, the values that we grew up with, what we thought the republican party embraced in every aspect from family values to foreign policy to trade policy, tariffs, every type of aspect we have seen a hostile takeover from trump who wasn't even a republican. he was a democrat. he was an independent. now&now he is pretending to be a republican. there is also this thing, this blood letting that goes on in the republican party, with the trump party or whatever you want to call it. which is you're either with trump or you're not deemed to be a republican. get out of our party. if you're n

. >> well, here senator john kennedy, senator sound bite talking about scott pruitt.'s what he had to say. >> the hits just keep on coming and i think he's hurting the president and, therefore, he's hurting the country. some of these things that mr. pruitt apparently has done, i know some of them are allegation, some of them are facts, he is acting like a moron. and he needs to stop it. it's not personal. but he just needs to stop acting -- misbehaving. >> senator kennedy, ladies and gentlemen, so here's the thing, anna, and sahil, he said it's not personal. an argument i have heard. they say scott pruitt is implementing policy, right? he is implementing policy the president likes. here's my question to you. could the president find somebody else who would also implement policy but maybe not do all these other things as well? >> yeah, i mean he's been effective at the epa in terms of, you know, putting together and pushing forward trump's agenda but so have many of his other cabinet secretaries and they're not in the news every day. this is a constant drag. one surpri

but scott says it's going to be compromised. your life will be an open book. john, what do you think of that? >> i think it's ridiculous that fabook would cave so easily like this. scott mcneill is right. it's the fact that facebook shares our data with business that's want to serve our needs. this isn't something sinister. facebook is paying for improvements, sells data to businees that want to meet our eds. it's natural. why would facebook pretend like they're doing something wrong here? >> neil: if you're selling a lot of stuff to customers and it's nefarious or not, should customers know it? maybe it's in that two-point ariel fine-print type that is already on record there. that doesn't bug you? >> no, not at all. the customers don't know the reason they get this amazing service for free that somehow their data is reaching other businesses, i can't help them. the reality is that unless their heads are in tsand, they know their data is being sold and it's a positive thing. if they want to pay for a social network, they should do it. may not be facebook that offe

john jones. i like to take exception to the chief scott's report. it is not informative. it consisted largely restoratiof numbers quickly read from a cryt sheet. those numbers could have been easily incorporated in the documents that you published bee the meeting. i found this report uninformati. i find this report largely irrelevant. if you listen to it, he's reporg on san francisco, san jose or newark, new jersey. i like to present to the commisn a copy of a san francisco gate newspaper article that appeared from the access two days ago entitled "am i in bad part of town." tours shocked by what they sighn san francisco street. may i have copy of this incorporated into the minutes of the meeting? the police department has some responsibilities in this area. this is a huge deal in san francisco. to fix our quality of life, peoe are losing money off this. this san francisco gate articles referenced in the dredge report. i find chief scott's reporter relevant and unsatisfactory it fails to address major issues in san francisco. he should not be allowed come in here and issu

scott paul. >> thank you, john and thank you to the global business dialog for the opportunity to have a conversation about the national security based tariffs. as i think the ambassador demonstrated it's a complex set here. the national press club, that giving the shootings in annapolis and the murder and senseless slaughter that is worth pointing out that journalism is not an easy business under the optimal circumstances and that journalists all over the world and including the united states deserve our unwavering support for their work and freedom of the press and they deserve a president who feels the same way as well. i'm from indiana. i grew up with hog producers jasper county, indiana members of the national pork producers council and around the corner from auto production and in sight of the steel mills. indiana is the largest steel producing country in the country and has been since the 1970's. so this is an issue that i take very personally. i'm glad that judge set up the conversation by looking back at the legislative history because it does make sense to look at the 1962 act that was the

john. reporter: two questions, please. thank you. first, there have been reports on almost a daily basis and in detail about e.p.a. head scott pruitt doing things that border on the unethical and almost on a daily basis republican members of congress call for his resignation. what is his status within the administration and does the president have confidence in him to remain as administrator? sarah: certainly we have some areas of concern in some of these allegations, but i don't have any personnel announcements at this point. reporter: my second question is, congressman mark sanford blamed the president's tweet as the final straw in his defeat, making him the second republican house member to go down in defeat. this is the first time in 48 years a sitting president, has opposed a member of congress, of his own party. does the president intend to speak out for primary challenges to other critics of him within the congress? and if so, who? sarah: i don't have any announcements on any candidates that the president may or may not endorse and wouldn't be able to address that from this venue. i'll come back to you. reporter: firs

john mentioned 55 laguna. the transitional housing at the edward the second building at scott and lombard which is from -- for foster kids who have aged out the foster care system, the city took a lot of heat for that and we made it happen. i'm incredibly proud to have been a part of that. it is one of the reasons i got into planning was to help nonprofits and people who need a little extra hand up in the planning process. the senior housing has always been a privilege, and really fun to do. at the red brick, when it closed and turned into a commercial entity with some performance-based, that was a wonderful experiment and trying to help a long-term neighborhood tenant to continue their journey in owning their building and trying to keep it private and open for the community. that was another thing. 1500 page street which was a vacant building for years and years and years on page and masonic. it is now supportive housing for people with exceptional abilities. those are the things sort of come to the top of my mind about my career. the women that i've seen come through the office and the industry, kate being

. >> it's so interesting to hear this, jeff, from john, who has been involved in this for a long time. we had reverend scottthe last hour who said nobody shows up, they just disappear into the country. >> and ted cruz, not exactly a dove on these issues, actually had a serious proposal of adding judges. add more immigration judges so that you could process these cases more quickly. but the president completely dismissed that and he said we don't need judges, we need people -- more arrests. but we do have due process of law in this country, even for people who are not citizens. so if you are not going to have some sort of system which has a decent number of judges to process these cases, they're just not going to happen, and you're not going to get these people out of the country. >> john, jeff, appreciate it, thank you very much. >>> next, our political panel's take on what could be serious political fallout from the president's policy, his reversal of it. >>> also later, stories of survival. migrants speaking out about what they have endured, and the future they're hoping for. brad's been looking forward t

scott pruitt. as we have reported and others have, chief of staff john kelly said he should be fired. not much support in the west wing. in fact, there is very little. a lot of support for him so far in the oval office. that's the decision that matters at the end of the day. and i think the president is also concerned about the narrative there has been too many shakeups in the administration. they have been saying we don't have time for any more hearings. we don't have time to confirm anyone else. if you nominate someone else, we may not be able to confirm them quickly. that's a decision the administration wants to take carefully. >> next topic which you are also reporteding on, the president's penchant for pardons. he, as you know, was sort of lobbied by kim kardashian to pardon alice marie johnson. she was convicted for drug possession, money laundering. currently serving a life sentence. kim kardashian west showed up at the white house. somehow this is causing consternation. what's your report something. >> the final paperwork for the pardon has been done. white house officials thi

john berman is here with us. if you sent allie out for lotion, like epa leader scott pruitt did, what would you say?ss from the trump hotel and the chi chick-fil-a and it not being a feti fetish? we are talking about the president's cabinet member and the word lotion. you say put the lotion in the basket so we can protect the environment. we are talking about scott pruitt. i'm laughing. it is no laughing matter. a member of the president's cabinet who every day there is a new claim or allegation of impropriety. it has nothing to do with the execution of his job and everything to do with how he runs his office. you know, i guess dry skin can be a security risk. right? cracked skin is a security risk and chaffed. you have to have a situation room. you have to go to the situation room for that. you set me off on something. >> you can buy it online. it takes two clicks. i found out it has jasmine scent. >> scott pruitt. a story that he sent his security detail to get a type of lotion he likes. security detail. lotion. member of the president's cabinet. >> taxpayers. taxpayers. >> i know richard haas is

john, you used to own it. >> what do they say about buy rumor sell news, scott in this case, it's sort of the reverse. people knew about the sanctions hurting this company aluminum and steel big consumer of that $160 beginning of the year, falls through $100 making a little bit of a recovery today even on that bad news you described if bad news can't push it down anymore, i think it's time to buy it. >> we're going to step away for two minutes and we're going to come back. we'll do final trade straight ahead. we're back after this. ♪ that's confident. but it's not kayak confident. kayak searches hundreds of travel and airline sites to find the best flight for me. so i'm more than confident. how's your family? kayak. search one and done. wi'm really grateful that usaaq. was able to take care of my family while i was overseas serving. it was my very first car accident. we were hit from behind. i called usaa and the first thing they asked was 'are you ok?' they always thank you for your service, which is nice because as a spouse you serve too. we're the hayles and we're usaa members for life. see how muc

scott denham, the republican congressman, ahead. there's a democrat and republican only a point separated. on the screen, john harder. basen the election results so far, the difference between that and the 48th district as they've voted does not favor the democrats as it did in the 48. i think this is the best chance of a lockout for the democrats. >> big picture. this was ground zero of the resistance, california. democrats need 23 seats to flip control of the house. ten were competitive. seven were districts hillary clinton won in 2016. what are you seeing overall? are you seeing evidence of the blue wave democrats hope to see, or is it pump the brakes? >> i think it's early to say. california counts its votes very, very slowly. you vote by mail. a lot of people vote by mail. the people who tend to vote late tend to be democrats. statewide, leaning more republican than the election day results. over the next few days, we'll get a better understanding of how many democrats showed up to vote. >> it doesn't seem that the overwhelming energy we've seen, at least it seems to have slowed a little if the wave was a tidal

scott pruitt. and there were actually a number of people including white house chief of staff john kelly pressing thesident to get rid of him. it's worth noting here that the president has jetsoned aides for far lesser sins. for whatever reason, the president is not willing to make that decision yet. when you ask people in the west wing, they don't have a good answer. except to say scott pruitt on the whole is doing a good job at pressing president trump's agenda at the epa. but there's no one in the white house who will sort of publicly or privately defend, you know, that litany -- that list you just put up. and no one has a good answer. >> we didn't even get to the mattress. the mattress. there's still been no explanation regarding the mattress. susan page, thank you. ashley parker, thank you as well. >>> home from prison. in an exclusive interview, a grandmother telling nbc news what it was like to have kim kardashian west plead for her freedom to the president. and she also talked about the moment her lawyer told her she was getting out. >> when she said that, i went into full-fledged pentecostal
