mike lee. >> so the cia veteran will run as an independent as we takes on the two-term republican senator in 2022. he says that lee has quote, lost his way. and the numbers actually back that up a little bit. latest polling show lee's approval rating at just 45%. so does the independent have any hope of turning this red state gray? a state that donald trump won by over 20 points in 2020. no better man to ask than the candidate himself. evan, it's great to see you. thanks for joining us. let's start with the very important question. why are you the man to build this bridge between dissatisfied democrats and frustrated republicans and why are you running to unseat senator lee? >> because utah just needs better leadership and better representation in congress. it's just that simple. look, like the rest of the country, we were facing compounding crisis here. we've got rising healthcare costs. we've got this never ending pandemic. here, we have a historic drought. we've got four fires that are filli

can you take us through this prosecution, lee merritt? lee: yes. said take me through the prosecution? amy: yes, talk about the connection to law enforcement and how long it took bring charges and the final release of that video, amazingly, by the third man who has been arrested. lee: in february of 2020 this all happened. it took 74 days before anyone was arrested. thatas only ter one the defeants decided that this video would help to clear up some of the rumors that re going on about how ahmaud was murdered. he released it under the direction of his attorney to a local radio station. by then they contacted the den appointed prosecutor in the case. we were on our third prosecutor. to get the case before a grand jury to arrest these men. when the video was released e georgia bureau of investation got involvedecause of the national outcry. it went almost immediately ral. then the dominoes began to fall. amy: the fact that gregory mcmichael was in law enforcement, was a police officer, was an investigator, and then that connection to jackie johnson,

senator cantwell: i'll probably have a follow-up but senator lee? senator lee: thanks, madam chair. mrs. miller, i want to start with you and ask you a particular question about youtube's app page rating. google play has the app rating set at teen. meaning 13 and up and the apple store has it rated as 17 and up. tell me why this disparity exists if apple determined it was a age rating for youtube ought to be 17 and up what did google determine the own app should be rated as teen, meaning 13 and up? mrs. miller: senator, i'm unfamiliar with the differences that you just outlined but would be happy to follow up with you and your staff once i get more details on this. senator lee: it's a simple question and i understand you may not be able to answer it right now. as it stands you don't have the information and would like to know whether you agree or disagree with the fact google has rated its own app 13 and up and apple is rated 17 and up but happy to follow up on that in writing or otherwise. i want to ask a similar regard to snap chat. it's rated 12 and up on apple and rated teen on

lee and he outranked all of them but the government was like with these guys and field commanders so they're going to get higher than you and has created a problem for the rest of the war between johnston and davis, president davis printed and will really manifest itself in the story today and they did not get along and they did not communicate well and led to a lot of confus. he was real concerned with break so far this amazing. there he is, joe johnston predict now to pick up the story after in the winter of 1862 in n manassas across the river from washington and georges rebuilt the union army had johnson can read a map and he knows the u.s. navy is a lot more powerful than the confederate navy and he can transport people down in the river in virginia and come on in behind him pretty met actually is mccullough's plan and he plans to go to a place and behind johnson and wants to become to him. and he realizes is a possibility so he pulls his army back behind and davis is not happy about this because he's given territory in a meat packing plant in manassas and is not happy at all joh

they want to spend 2 trillion, lee. lee: it's not enough.s are putting forward saying it's going to cost us nothing is untrue. i think this other notion, the messaging that the democrats are saying is that wealthy people need to pay their fair share. exactly what is a fair share? is it 50% of our income? is it 60% of our income? where does it stop? because there's this idea out there they that just because amazon doesn't pay its fair share of taxes, that all wealthy people don't pay any taxes and it's simply untrue. when you look at the numbers they're suggesting in states like new york, in california, wealthy people are going to pay more than 60% of their income in taxes and that doesn't include police report taxes. -- property taxes. that's outrageous. what is a fair share? that's what i want to know. maria: that's what we've been asking for several years. but you know, this whole idea of fair share plays with the populace and they keep spewing it even though it's not true. the top 10% of earners pay 70% of the income tax right now. we'll

that is what mattered to lee as he evaluated the eastman memo.esn't sign on to the presidents push. host: again, this is robert costa joining us. he is the co-author of peril with bob woodward. mr. costa, you also write a little bit about the relationship in your book between the former president and the former speaker of the house, paul ryan a particular over a series of events. can you recount some of those? host: he features in the -- guest: paul ryan is an interesting story as you tell the trump story, because he is in effect the leader of the republican party in congress when trump is elected in 2016. he is the speaker of the house. so much power. and he has to figure out how to deal with this new outsider president, and he sees in some ways that he is someone he can have a transactional bond with, someone who can help him to announcer: enact republican policies, at the same time he found trump odd and almost hard to connect with on a personal basis and on a political basis. and what we discovered in our reporting is that we discovered in ou

brett: lee expected grant might make him prisoner, instead grant let lee and his men return home on their to not take up arms against the union again. >> there was at least some warm feelings he treated in victory of south justly. the way in which grant sought to encourage confederate soldiers to take a mule home to start farming, officers able to take a gun home, really sense of treating lee with great dignity. brett: it was not capstone of grant's career as a soldier but start of his second act as a statesman, for his surrender terms followed a blueprint for a reconstruction of the union that lincoln had sketched out much southern states would be welcomed back if -- if they pledged loyalty to union, just 5 days after a single pistol shot at ford theater changed everything for the republic and the general who had done so much to save it. >> assassination of lincoln put nation back on brink. grant feared new president might undoe everything gained in civil wash. that is next. new projects means new project managers. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. when you sponsor a job, y

i 2nd grade english actor christopher lee was, was he your choice system? when he was a great choice? me be a, put him in as jenna and we found that he was based on tuition and bucks, but some members of the public who had a reason to oppose oppose the film project. not for sensible reasons, but again, personal reasons. but you know, i think christopher lee that god bless him throughout his life and to, to the end of his life in every interview, would say that my greatest role was that of jenna in the film janai. he did a tremendous tribute and he was terrific while we were filming, it was opposition. they were protests and he would come with me and talk to people and he would come people down and say, look, i'm here to pitch a beauty of great fonda. mr. jones, one of the big fan of history to it really wasn't amazing experience. it was almost like a battle be conducted. remember, no one had made a film on gina before this. remember that gina is so i don't want to do a secret, but he's sort of restricted by so many in bucks on the very ideal watching him on

lee: i think that is a fair point. at the moment, we are trying to gauge the strength of the domestic economy with supply chains, with all of the stuff at the ports, with everything else going on. the sort of external sector of the economy is something we can control. so yes, i think there is a valid point that we should be looking at final sales to domestics, and that is a better gauge of where we are in terms of the bigger picture in the reopening. the other stuff, there are so many moving parts right now. in the global economy and the u.s., it is hard to really gauge where we are. i don't think we get a clear picture until next year perhaps, to be honest with you. lisa: who is glass half-empty? stocks are hitting new highs. bonds are doing all right. who has it wrong with how bearish they are in terms of u.s. growth? lee: you are assuming there is a relationship between asset prices in the real economy. surely that broke years ago.

that's why he made the call with general lee and on january 8, 2021. it's important to read the full book because the whole book as the full context and the context shows in each of these moments in the call he was reading in otherpeople . he was calling up gina has to and talking to paul sony running the national security agency and talking to the joint chiefs. this is a senior military officer working to de-escalate potential crisis and it's clear that these kind of calls between military leaders can be routine but our book shows that calls between such leaders can be routine certainly but this moment was anything but routine. it was a moment on a back channel to try to avoid global war. to avoid some kind of miscommunication in the south china sea where a president who they believed was in decline acting out and harass way, a catastrophic way and with the and and see exchange you see him trying to protect the country from having miscommunication or an isolated call from the white house or even the president causing a missile to be fired or even a nu

then the brandon lee thing. about brandon lee is it seems to have been something left over from a previous use that had been launched, and then when it was reloaded for this particular bit, that thing effectively created a projectile that went straight through his stomach and killed him. it's really interesting. i don't know all the friends it's behind the brandon lee incident, but there's a few different types of prop guns we use in entertainment. one of which are guns that are specifically manufactured with smaller diameter barrels and cylinders to only accept a blank rounds, so you cannot chamber a live round into a prop gun. there are circumstances again where it's looking more is more that on the set of rust, it might have been a firearm that was missed loaded. . . r' been a firearm that was missed loaded. ., ., ,~' , ., been a firearm that was missed loaded. ., ., ,~' i. ., been a firearm that was missed loaded. ., ., i. ., .,, loaded. can i ask you one last question? _ loaded. can i ask you one last quest
