the both of you gentlemen welcome jonathan let's start with you such a dramatic symbol through this game here on new. a lot of english fans across the plenty of drama plenty of goals i will see them shortly by that this was a day that and followed that it started so well for the english karen trip to have the freak show that cost the goalkeeper see the states that was just off the four minutes of the game in really kind of wished for a better start they really dominated the first half but if first off was all about england the second half was all about the race they equalised the event heritage he managed to get that in a head of a car walk by a high boot but not punished by the referee rightly so and then it went to extra time and it was croatia who caught the decisive go in when sleeping a bit at the back and it was. the form of buy in striking our place of events and it's a. very cool finish that our strong pick for the brilliant save from just wasn't enough there croatia go through two one history makers that go one better than the team they reached the semifinals in france in one thousan

kimberly and jonathan here as well.mac -- there's a new political report out that says one republican close to the white house says john kelly is just chief of staff in name only. is that even possible? how does that work? and is that even fair, because there are other members of the administration who do have a lot of confidence in john kelly. >> i think two truths can be held at the same time. i don't think there's any question that general kelly has not been able to impose the kind of order and structure and discipline that he would have liked to impose or put in place as a former general. by the same token, i think he still has good relations on the hill, is a calming, positive influence there. but i think at the end of the day, you know, there's the saying, let trump be trump. i think president trump is going to be president trump. and in this case, that's not going to lend itself to a conventional relationship between the president and his chief of staff. >> how about this politico article that we're looking at he

and about the content of the book.one of the reasons we are so excited to have jonathan here tonight, is that the library is the proud home of the jonas salk personal archive. i really appreciate the generosity of his three sons. jonathan, peter and darrell for helping us with the archive of nearly a thousand boxes of jonas's personal and professional writings. i understand that there are many stories including of course, the founding of the vaccine, developing of the vaccine and opening of the salk institute for biological studies. i'm happy to announce we committed to digitizing a set of audio recordings made and has been in the archive for quite some time. i understand some recordings actually have not been heard for well over 50 years. and i think that is a great development and we really look forward to getting them digitized and funny what's on them and making them publicly available. before i invite jonathan to the podium, i would like to express my appreciation to library staff that help us coordinate the event. to particularly -- has been a steward, linda, thank you! and real

here. jonathan: it's great to be here. the federal reserve pushes back against higher interest rates. does it change anything for chair powell? bob: it doesn't. the fact that you have tweets today and yesterday tells you how independent the fed is. i think it is a complex question. certainly, the president gets to appoint who they want as the fed chair, so they pick someone who is reasonable and moderate like jay powell. they know kind of what they are going to get. i think it was a good appointment, but he is on his own now. and i think he has laid out a very credible path going forward. jonathan: it's safe to say that the president's tweets this friday have had more impact on the treasury curve than jay powell in congress. what is happening with the treasury curve? it has been flat and then all of a sudden we get steepness during the week. bob: there are a couple things going on. certainly there is a belief the fed is going to stick to its rate path, that we will see increases every other meeting for now. great set of words, but i think also there has been some news out of japan tha

( explosion ) the white helmets have long been celebrated by the west for their volunteer work with the tens of thousands of people during syria's seven year conflict. but syria's government and their ally russia have claimed they are terrorists helping the rebels. over the years, the syrian government has launched targeted attacks on the group and their facilities. as the syrian government regains control of the country, there's been growing concern about the white helmet's safety. last night's rescue operation was israeli's only intervention in the war. the white helmets will remain in jordan for a few months before being relocated to the u.k., germany, and canada. the u.s. will not be taking in any of the families

jonathan and evan are still here, frank and kim are still with us. t me ask you, jonathan lemire, how a white house who will privately acknowledge that the roy moore chapter wasn't good for them, who will privately acknowledge that they're all in a bit of a vice from a communications standpoint on the me too movement because of the president being credibly accused by more than a dozen women, how the president gets on air force one and goes to bat for a guy who is still under investigation for his potential role in an abuse scandal? >> because the president doesn't listen to anyone around him. the white house staff wants nothing to do with this story. they don't need him -- >> this is now a white house story. it wasn't 24 hours ago. it now is. >> he made it one. the people around him they didn't want him to go out and he chose to do that on his own. preld prefer to issue a statement on their own saying the investigation is ongoing. we'll comment down the road. that's not how this president works. he leaps to the defense of his allies, people he has cho

lied all his life. >> so do rudy giuliani and the president himself have greater credibility here, jonathan? >> rudy giuliani used to say he was an honorable guy, so he has had two positions on his truthfulness a short period of time here. two, the president is not a deep reservoir of voracity during his time in the public eye. the credit ability of a witness will depend on what information they're corroborating. what is the context around what they're saying, as ken pointed out, figures in mob trials, as rudy giuliani found out, give evidence at trial whether or not they were good, decent, or honest people before. >> so for the president's part, he is not saying anything publicly about this, but he is quiting. he says cohen is trying to make up stories to get himself out of an unrelated jam. do you have a sense of where their relationship stands now. ken was saying they consider themselves dead to each other, what does that mean? >> i think if you just look at what is happening right now and the release of that recording earlier this week between michael cohen and the president, talking ab
