juan williams. >> john, i saw on "the wall street journal" front page today that president trump waspset with comey because comey refused to say there are no ties between trump administration or the trunk campaign and russia. what do you hear about that story? >> wan, repeat the last part of that question mike i'm sorry, i just got a little bit of information coming over my cell phone just as we were talking. just confirming that yes, apparently the president was very open about his thoughts regarding comey in the days leading up to the firing. that would confirm he was probably among a very small circle of people talking quite openly about his desire to get rid of comey and whether or not he should do it -- i am sorry, juan, your question again? >> that was interesting to me because i think the impression is -- i think you have confirmed this -- in fact, even the communication staff and a number of his top officials were unaware that he was about to fire jim comey. anyway, what i was asking -- it indicated the president was angry at comey because comey refused to say for words. ther

but remember, as we grow and we learn, the adversary grows and learns, too. >> williams: john millerjournalist and cbs news correspondent, one of the few westerners to have interviewed osama bin laden. >> miller: the mistake that we risk making is to look back on 9/11 as a singular event and say, "well, al qaeda was a one- attack-wonder, and since then they've been falling apart." al qaeda has sustained itself in the shadows. and while other groups are getting more attention, they're getting bigger, and they're patient. >> williams: what is the fear when it comes to hamza? is it that he helps recruit and radicalize young men? >> miller: the base fear is: a, that as he does more recordings and more messages, that he gets better at it; and b, that he is... he is targeting a younger audience. and if you have a young figure with bin laden as that brand name who becomes an effective communicator, that's a bad thing. >> soufan: well, we killed osama bin laden, but his message lives. >> williams: his message lives, and now there's a new messenger? >> soufan: yeah. >> williams: his young, ch

san francisco fed president john williams and chicago fed president charles evans. is at that conference and we'll be hearing from him in the next hour. also, walmart tries to un-up rival amazon according to its reuters report. now applied for a patent for a system designed to compete with amazon's dash buttons. to let customers reorder products. walmart's system would build the reordering technology into the products themselves rather than requiring a separate button. maybe you get a bottle of tide and the button will be right on the tide. the second it's done and empty and maybe even if it's empty, by the way, it would know and could send a little wi-fi signal and you'd get a new bottle of tide sent to your home. >> you have to give them credit for trying. >> the writers are messing for you. they put the patent and button in the same story for you. >> because you know how i like -- >> patent and -- is it because you're from manhattan. and that's why -- >> become deeds. >> margarita. right now let's get -- why is that? >> because it's howard stern. >> margareader.

his name is william john kimmel.he appeared to be a normal, healthy baby until about three hours after he was born. they did an echocardiogram, which is a sonogram of the heart, and found that billy was born with a heart disease. and on monday morning, the doctor opened his chest and fixed one of the two defects in his heart. and he opened the valve, and the operation was a success. it was the longest three hours of my life. [ applause ] you know, before 2014, if you were born with congenital heart disease like my son was, there was a good chance you'd never be able to get health insurance because you had a pre-existing condition. if your baby is going to die and it doesn't have to, it shouldn't matter how much money you make. i think that's something that whether you're a republican or a democrat or something else, we all agree on that, right? i mean we do.

his name is william john kimmel. [ cheers and applause ] thank you very much. we call him billy.t was an easy delivery. six pushes, he was out. and he appeared to be a normal healthy baby. until about three hours after he was born. we were out of the delivery room. we moved to the recovery room. our whole family was there. and we introduced him to his 2 1/2-year-old sister. she was cute with him. we were happy. everything was good. my wife was in bed relaxing. and when a very attentive nurse at cedars-sinai hospital. her name is nanush. was checking him out and heard a murmur in his heart, which is common with newborn babies, but she also noticed he was a bit purple, which is not common. so she asked me to come with her. and my wife and i assumed it would be nothing. our daughter had a heart murmur too. we didn't notice that he wasn't the color he was supposed to be. so i accompanied billy and the nurse, went down the hall to another part of the hospital. the neonatal icu where another excellent nurse named ann checked him out and called the doctor. and now all of a sudden it fel

. >> juan williams? >> john, i am curious about thec reaction coming from capitol hill to the white house. schumer -- he said he told president trump this is a mistake. and subsequent to that, we haveh heard from bob casey of pennsylvania, this is nixonian. a saturday night massacre. richard blumenthal of connecticut says the legal system is being threatened and even republicans, john mccain of arizona saying he regrets this and we see from the chairman of the intelligence community that he is troubled by this. the question, is it likely now that to insulate the white house, he will supportle n independent inquiry into the russian probe? >> i think the president is very comfortable where that investigation lies, it lies with the deputy attorney general. i don't think there'll be any great call here to have a special prosecutor look into that. let's also look at some of the statements coming from democrats on capitol hill, juan. it was 14 days ago, senator schumer said rod rosenstein was a guy who has proven hims
