. >> well, joining us in los angeles, robin swanson and john thomas. cnn is reporting this.ington post" is also reporting this story. we've spoken to the reporter gregg miller for more details about what took place. listen to this. >> it wasn't just during the campaign. it was as recent as september which was at the height of the alarm in washington about the russian hack of the u.s. election. so it's in the middle of all that that sessions has a private meeting with the russian ambassador in his senate office. and just two or three months later is asked during his confirmation hearing did you have any contacts or any communications with russians during the campaign, and can't remember that meeting just several months earlier. >> stay with us. here is the question now to sessions during his confirmation hearing that came from senator al franken. >> and if there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the trump campaign communicated with the russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do? >> senator franken, i'm not aware of any of those activities. i

. >>> joining us here, republican consultant john thomas, thank you for joining us. we have the house intelligence committees saying they're looking into this wiretapping allegation made by the president. republican senator lindsey graham says he wants the intelligence agencies to have more information and use more subpoena power if they have to. >> the president has asked congress to look into the evidence if his campaign was wiretapped by the obama administration. i will take up that challenge and send a letter to the department of justice and the fbi, asking them for any information they may have used to use a warrant. they will found out if the warrant was used directly against the trump campaign. >> and if they don't find this information? >> then i will have done my job, either there is no information, or they're lying to me. i would expect them to come forward as to whether or not the warrant was obtained or not. >> and with this subpoena, if they don't comply? >> yes. >> okay, with friends like lindsey graham, john, does he want to prove the president's claim

>> taking a page out of john thomas's book, this is an unconventional book.e can say conventional wisdom would be you would pull back. but donald trump doesn't apologize, he doesn't pull back. i would expect him to go further down this path. he's tripped down to the detriment of the party. it will get worse before it gets better. this is an unforced error. he's doing this all by himself. >> the problem with the story is it's distracting from the robust job numbers that came out in february. he should be pushing that story. instead we're talking about wiretapping. >. if the plan from the president was to divert attention away from jeff sessions and alleged russian connection to the trump campaign it, had the effect of pouring gasoline on a fire. >> that's why i don't believe it was intended to deflect because look what's happened here. it hasn't been good for the situation. the sessions fire was neutralized the second he said he was recusing himself. that was done. >> what it has spotlighted is the white house's inability to stay on message and inability to ge

you can see here, you can read it, john jeffries, thomas lane, william and peter paden. yes? you have a question. student: what are the names in red mean? prof. coombs: these are the names of the guys whose names are on this petition. so, no different. it's probably a little bit hard to read for you guys. the names in red are the ones we know about, although they are they are just -- they are just stand in's for a larger body of importing merchants. so these 15 men demanded that a number of ships that had been designated to go to chesapeake in the convoy of 1691, and therefore have been marked against the quota allocated to the chesapeake trade, they demanded they be disallowed. they are the ones who pay the because most customs, most in customs duties. we see here in 1686, you have a fairly short list of men importing. these are all men importing more than 240,000 pounds of tobacco in 1686, so it is a fairly short list. collectively, they import over 11 million pounds of tobacco, which constitutes 65% of all tobacco imported into london in that year. these are the big player

to live with the family while recouperating and reenrolled at john hopkins university and met another man man from north carolina named thomas dixon. thomas dixon dit a -- did a lot of things and one of them is wrote senational love stories. you don't remember them from the books but because those two books became birth of a nation and the first film screened at the white house. thomas called woodrow and said i made a movie and he said come over and show it to me and that is how that happened. i think a lot of people are amazed at how much material we cover. i don't really think they are prepared for it all. we are stressing to get it in under two hours. so the next stop is the historic hall. a beautiful antebellum house built to be theater and our municipal building. we don't have a lot of lecture series in the 20th century. ted talks is probably the closest but it was expected in the past you would go hear experts speak on a topic for 45 minutes to two hours. among the many people who came to lecture at the hall was oscar wild, the importance of being earnest. fredrick douglas and booker t washington spoke here. something

thomas bramlett of kentucky, john downey of california, jewell parker of new jersey, david todd of ohio, whitaker of oregon. remained loyal to support lincoln at the first and revealed the complex interplay of loyalty and locality. governors were forced to choose between economic ties and the conservatism that associated them with small government and hostility toward fugitive slaves. those governors with democratic in 1863 and -- 1864, the military situation turned in the union's favor. still, governors suffered with intractable state legislate legislatures. hostility led to tension as whileors struggled maintaining support at home. in short, they served as the main springs of nationalism, the represent a vast and diverse constituency that left them unprotected by washington bureaucracy. lincoln understood this accountability. he began the struggle aiming only to bring the old union back together, and as the conflict , he marshaled forces opposite to jefferson davis, making the federal system work, rely on governors, encouraging their best efforts, and through them securing most of the

john romm and brian more. the shot of the day belonged to justin thomas for a 30, 100 yards away. there it is in the way. that pitched and hopped onto the green. and colin her neck --kaepenick won't make headlines, he will stand during the national anthem from now on. he protested social inequality by not standing for the star-spangled banner. he says he will stand from now on because he made his point. he will opt out of contract with san francisco 49ers and become a free agent next week. if he hadn't opted out he would have been released. they made their point too. coming up an exclusive interview, and democratic contracts. >> it was in no way a coordinated effort doing anything improper. >> twitter stock raises on its first day as well. what is the future for snap? we will take a closer look. you are watching "fbn a.m.," your first look at morning markets for breaking news. lauren: breaking news. in an exclusive interview with tucker carlson, us attorney general jeff sessions says democratic attacks on his meeting with a russian envoy have been, quote, hyped beyond reason. we have the latest on that s

john. some people suggest it was thomas, we really don't know who this character is. possibilities. some even suggest that it was lazarus that jesus raised from the dead. >> the disciple whom jesus loved appears at the last supper. >> one of you will betray me tonight. ask him. which one he means. >> lord, who is it? who will betray you? >> the only person in that gospel about whom it is said, he is the one whom jesus loved, is lazarus. >> the idea that lazarus might be the beloved disciple is a bit wild, but not without merit, it helps explain a number of things. it helps us understand why this beloved disciple only appears that the point in the narrative. well it's after lazarus was dead and resurrected. >> jesus is betrayed by judas, and condemned by pilate. >> the idea that lazarus is the beloved disciple helps us understand a crucial piece of the passion narrative. why is the beloved disciple the only male disciple standing at the foot of the cross when all the others have fled? perhaps it's because the beloved disciple understands that the cross is not the end.

other presidents have not gotten along, truman and eisenhower, thomas jefferson and john adams. >> differentaven't said without any evidence that the other one tapped their phones. >> this is a felony. >> for whatever the reason, they didn't get along. that's the nut of it right there. so this is not unprecedented here. so what would president reagan do? he was a pretty amiable guy. it took a while to get his irish up, but when he did, he'd be pretty upset. he got along fairly well with president carter, his immediate predecessor, even going to far as to give a speech at the opening of the carter library. i think president reagan is a little different. president trump has reason here, story after story after story has been pointed out in "the washington post" here has been coming out trying to link donald trump, president trump with the russians. he's had it with the whole thing. i don't blame him for being mad. >> that's different than president obama ordering a white house, the papers reporting that there may be links -- hang on. i know where you're going with this, so let me do it for you

a danger in all humans, especially in authority and the government to capture something john adams said to thomas jefferson, which is power always thinks it has a great soul. this danger. i think i'm an honest person. i'll follow love of my own own view of things. so that checking imbalance is the genius of the design of the founders. it is vitally tell them what we are doing so they can ask our questions about it. in my experience, it is a highly productive relationship. sometimes people outside the road don't understand it. how can you tell a select few? the nature of the work. they are things we can't let the nation's adversaries now. we have to share them with their oversight committees. by and large, it works very well. the challenge in general and a polarized environment is again, those classes can get in the way of a robust oversight and make it sometimes difficult for the intelligence agencies. and here's the truth. we find a way because we need each other too much because we all believe deeply in the design of the country and we find a way to make it work. >> either way, i'm just happy w

so i talk a little bit about how enlightenment thinkers like thomas hobbes and john locke challenged the monarchy's monopoly on legal punishment. in 18 or 1651 hobbes was the first to invoke an inalienable right. his is a covenant not to defend myself from force or by force is always void. and in his second essay on civil government in 1690, he invoked self-defense at that great law of nature. he argued whosoever shed a man's blood by man shall be blood be shed. so i mentioned before that the exception to the english duty to retreat was the castle doctrine. that originates in a case in 1504. in the popular's is the notion of a man's house is castle. but while there is no reference to the race of the man authorized to defend is castle in practice, this castle doctrine originates predominantly in the context of white property owners. predominantly white men. in the united states the legal conditions that exclude most women and nonwhites from access to political deduction and property ownership guarantee that the castle would serve as a safe haven for white men and their property. so i

then he reenrolled in school this time at johns hopkins university and there he met another young man from north carolina named thomas dixon. thomas dixon did a lot of things in a lifetime and one of them was that he wrote sensational romance novels and probably the only one most people never is the klansmen and the leopard spot. but you don't member than because of the book. you remember them because of those two books became birth of a nation. the film the became the first movie to be screened at the white house because thomas called his good friend woodrow wilson as it guess what, i made a movie and he said why did you come over and show it to me and that is how that happened. >> i think a lot of people are amazed at how much material recovered. recovery. we tell people we go 5095-2017 and it don't really think they are prepared for just like, we are stressing to get it in under two hours. we are trying hard to get in under two hours. >> so the next stop on our two is a stork failing all, a beautiful and of the upper house that was built to be both the our municipal building. we don't have a whole lot of lecture s

thomas: no question, a great cynicism about the republic. let it go back to john f.ennedy in 1962, the cuban missile crisis. i was never a big fan of president kennedy. in 1960.ry narrowly when he came on the air and told the russians put nuclear missiles 90 miles from the united states and he was taking us to the brink of nuclear war to stop them, i thought he is president, he has to do what he has to do. very tense time. i was teaching at the time and i remember when i was giving out the assignment for the students in class, i said the assignment is next week and i had to bite my tongue to keep from saying if there is a next week. confidence.kind of i don't anybody raising a fuss. it could've been the death of millions. today, i don't think any president of the united states in the last 30 or 40 years could go on the air and do that and have the public find them. that is not a problem for him, that is a problem for the country if you have a president, he has to have the public support not for his sake but for the public's. brian: you never how you felt about waterg

at his confirmation hearing, justice thomas was introduced by missouri republican senator john danforth. senator danforth: just as clarence thomas will not impinge on his independence by seeking commitments on how he will decide cases before the court so he will never become a sure vote for any group of justices on the court. for two months, i have noted with wonder the certainty of various interest groups as they have predicted how the nominee would vote on an array of issues. they don't know clarence thomas. i do. i cannot predict how he would vote on any issue. he's his own person. that is my first point. second, he laughs. to some this may seem a trivial matter. to me it's important because laughter is the antidote to that dread disease, federalitis. the obvious strategy of interest groups trying to defeat a supreme court nominee is to suggest that there is something weird about the individual. i concede there is something weird about clarence thomas. it's his laugh. it is the loudest laugh i have ever heard. it comes from deep inside and it shakes his body, and here is something at
