i want to bring back in john stanton from buzzfeed. we've seen a lot of discussion of this in the media, i think, incorrectly as some kind of partisan issue. but if john mccain's address this morning didn't put that to rest, i don't know what will. he's a hawk's hawk. he knows these issues -- >> ari, he has been against torture for quite some time. >> he has. which makes my point. he has been against tore fewer for quite some time. republicans have been. some have gotten around to a discussion about the senate report and whether releasing it is a good idea. john, it seems to me that that from the former republican nominee was significant and then "the new york times" reporting just this afternoon details from the report that show in-fighting within the cia, that this isn't about intelligence community versus everyone else. but real moral questions within the intelligence committee i was, including a high-ranking official, according to "the times," according to the report, which basically said this is a train wreck waiting to happen. i w

me for insight and analysis are cnbc's rick santelli, amy walter of the cook political report, john stanton and ka seem reed, mayor of atlanta. welcome to sunday, it's "meet the press." >>> good morning. it has been another week with headlines dominated by an angry reaction to a grand jury decision not to prosecute a white police officer for killing a black man. last week the story was in ferguson, missouri. this week, new york city. the grand jury's decision not to indict daniel pantaleo, who put eric garner in a chokehold which led to mr. garner's death brought thousands to the streets. what was different was even as protesters demonstrated coast to coast, politicians from across the little bitle call spectrum came together to condemn the new york decision. >> what do we want? >> justice. >> when do we want it? >> now. >> mr. garner's death is one of several recent incidents across our great country that have tested the sense of trust that must exist between law enforcement and the communities they are charged to serve and to protect. >> i asked them, what do you want? what is the point?

john stanton, it sounds like democrats are less and less enamered of this bill as hours tick by.s the latest. >> i think it's interesting that elizabeth warren is doing their best impersonation of ted cruz riling up house progressives saying block this bill, let's get a better deal on the financial regulations language in it. so i think democrats are not willing to suddenly play ball which is interesting given two days ago it looked like they were going to give speaker boehner the votes that he needs to get this through. >> chairman, what's going on with the far right. dozens and dozens of republicans cannot afford to jump ship on this if democrats are not willing to give them votes. >> that may be true but i doesn't think that will happen. i think in the end it will pass and get to the president's desk and guess what, check, he will sign it. this will fall on both houses, if you will, if it doesn't get done. this won't pe a good or favorable talking points that republicans shut down the government. boehner put together a bipartisan bill. there's pain in there for both sides. i'm

of vermont and former chair of the dnc, howard dean, washington bureau chief for buzzfeed news, john stanton and washington bur rechief for "time" magazine, john sharer. does this portend of something more to come? >> it may. here's the deal. i'm not sure this is partisan. i do expect some members of the tea party on the right to vote no on this thing. there's two kinds of compromises. one is one you don't like and one is truly dangerous. there's some campaign finance stuff in here i don't like but i'd support it in order to keep the government running. this is dangerous to measure, this banking stuff. we just went through a horrible recession based on the fact that a lot of people in the banking sector were basically playing gambling casino on wall street. and with derivatives but collateralized mortgage obligations, with interest credit default swaps. this is a bad thing. this doesn't create jobs. and it's bad for the country. we will in fact have to bail out the banks again because the banks are too big to fail. so you either have to break up the banks or limit their ability to do damage

john carlos stanton signed a monster 13-year b $325 million deal this offseason. now, i also predicted that the nfl would embrace next generation media technologies up. i was right here with the league introducing that nfl now product this time around. finally, i said 2014 would be a ticking point in major league soccer here in the united states. we'll call it half right. mls tv ratings rose, but they still can't come anywhere near with competing against the major leagues here in the united states. we'll see how they do next year without star landon donovan. now here with my predictions for 2515. so listen up and let's get the game started. from a-rod to donald sterling to ray rice, scandal plagued the sports world in 2014. here are three bold predictions for 2015. the nfl crosses the pond. after sellout crowds for three games at whimbly stadium in 2014, the national football league will announce the first ever international franchise in london. and weir not talking about nfl europe part two. with more than 8 million casual nfl fans in the uk, there is demand &. s

. >> john henry smith on stanton island for us, thank you. >> let's go to libby casey now live in washington, d.c. the reaction to the grand jury decision extending to lawmakers there, as well. >> that's right, del. we saw new york lawmakers gather on capitol hill to put into words the frustration that many lawmakers were feeling not just from new york over the fact that there is video of eric garner's death and yet still no indictment. >> from new york to seattle to washington. >> what do we want? justice! >> what do we want it? >> now! >> frustration over not indicting police officer pantaleo. >> not to iict in the death of eric garner is a miscarriage of justice, it's an outrage, a disgrace. >> this is not a black problem, this is a problem we have in our great country. >> the grand jury won't have the final say. >> now that the local investigation has concluded, i'm here to announc that the justice department will proceed. >> he pledged a full and fair investigation. similar to the decision in ferguson, missouri not to indict white police officer darren wilson, who shot and killed black

. >> john: programs you talked about, is it important for drew stanton to finish well. maybe that gives some confidence going into kansas city. >> kevin: the first time that arizona is even in the red zone today. catch to brown. you wonder how much does one game change perception? the falcons will go to 5-7. they'll be in first place. green bay next who is in a dog fight with new england right now. up by two in the fourth. brown makes catch. trying to get the offensive touchdown. something to build on during the week of practice. stanton lines them up. end zone throw. he has it. so finally, for the first time since the beginning of the detroit game three games ago. arizona scored on offense. >> john: it's been a while. bruce arians going to keep the offense to go for two. to make this an 11-point game. that shows you, that drive. and granted, atlanta backs off a little and plays a little more loose on their coverage. >> throws right there. he is capable of doing it. i have seen it. we've seen it. just hand been there the last couple weeks. >> kevin: larry fitzgerald get

it is presumed baker gives to it secretary of war, stanton but no one knows the photograph of the autopsy of johnators is a mirror tale tribunal. 366 witnesses testified all defendants are found guilty. and in attempting to create a definite record of the people and events surrounding the assassination of abraham lincoln, o'sullivan and gardener are giving extraordinary access. july 7, 1865, the sentences are carried out, for the first assassination of a president in the history of the nation. and mary serrant becomes the first woman ever to be executed by the united states federal government when she joins powell, and herald on a scaffold at the old arsenal penitentiary. in an interview ten years later, the former president of the confederacy, jefferson davis states simply, next to theructi the death of abraham lincoln was the darkest day the south has ever known. tad lincoln learned of his father's assassination while attending "aladdin" at grover's theater. he died of heart failure six years later. briefly committed to an asylum, mary todd lincoln died in springfield, 17 years after the assass

of lincoln's life and the stuff that happened, it's amazing john wicks booth almost got away with it the only reason he didn't is because stanton some believe were in conspiracy to hurt lincoln called baker and brought him down to d.c. to find booth. if he hadn't done that booth would have gotten away. >> sounds like bo dietl. >> he was the bo dietl of the mid 19th century. which is not something you want on your tombstone. anyway, this is a book that will keep you up nights. and i particularly wrote it this time because we need leadership in america desperately. and abraham lincoln is the gold standard for the presidency. he was without a doubt the best president the country has ever had. >> you know what i thought was cool bloody crimes you may have in your book which i haven't read yet because i'm battling cancer and i haven't had time. >> is that an excuse? >> it's the one i'm going to try to use with you. see if it works. >> let me say one thing, before you die you want to read killing lincoln. >> okay. >> okay? >> what i found fascinating in the final two weeks of his life, he went to richmond and actually set in jefferso

john boehner do? will he force him out. grimm is a republican that represents stanton island and he is saying he will not serve. >> and i will serve. and those are discussions i will not discussion're discuss. >> what happens now. and we'll bring in david drubbinger, senior correspondent for the washington examiner and the concept of a guy who pled guilty to tax evasion and serving in congress. is that even possible, david? >> it is possible to a degree if he will note sign or go away. you can't take away his seat. you can try to get rid of them. and i wont be surprised if he. he is a a stain on the republican caucus. >> what kind of power does boehner v. he can't fire the guy? >> the voters are only ones who can do that. he reelected him own though this is coming down the pike. there may be rules to prevent him from voting on legislation. and you know, if you can't serve in committee and you can't try to help your constituents in the house, it almost makes you a figure head. we have seen in the past. they don't want to go away it becomes difficult to get rid of them. there are lengthy proceedings to try to get rid. >> there

choice, he engages the stanton to create a special army office to make sure that only republican newspapers go to the army of the potomac. so in that soldiers' vote area, i concur with john. there is certainly an effort to keep the new york world, even the new york herald, the chicago times, away from the troops. so i mean, how do you get election? you can either chat about it or you can read the papers which the papers are stirring up the civilian vote. well democratic soldiers in the army of the potomac certainly are not getting the democratic papers. so it's a mixed bag. >> also, harold, they're not getting a lot of the democratic pamphlets the also circulating. >> and this is a good point to make that you cannot, you cannot test the suppression such as it was, that harold described, by today's standards with the first amendment, because even though civil liberties were always an issue in our democracy especially during the civil war it was not as sacrosanct then as it has been since world war i when the growth for a first amendment rights has already improved. but even having said that, harold was very judicious in his great book by saying that lincoln was discrete.
