both called it quits after they were unable to persuade the white house to dump meese on grounds hisegal troubles are hurting the department. officials say meese was stunned and hardly able to speak when told of the resignations. >> bill weld then testified to the senate judiciary committee against the attorney general. >> the question is whether mr. meese is taking official actions that he knows are going to redound to the financial benefit of his friend and i suggest that he did so. >> shortly after bill weld's testimony, attorney general ed meese resigned. those were the days when corrupt republicans had to deal with principled republicans. joining us now is bill weld, former (governor of massachusetts and candidate for president of the united states. thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you, lawrence. >> i want to lean on your experience as a federal prosecutor, as a justice department official to get your reading of the mueller report. >> i've been thinking a lot about 1974 recently. and the train coming down from boston to new york yesterday, he read ag barr's 19-page r

steal that meese report not just a vessel to share it. they didn't give any specifics as to why they think he's conspiring. as for the motion blz ts before court today, he knows what sin side and what is presented to judges that, is delayed for weeks. >> police officers first used a crow bar then a sledgehammer to try to enter freelance journalist brian carmody's house two weeks ago. acting under search warrants from two judges, officers seized electronics and other items in height of a leaked unflattering police report. >> he has rights of journalists not to have the police come to his home with sledge hammers. our action flektz that we think he is a criminal in a conspiracy to seal bill scott he crossed the line into criminal conduct. it is irrelevant. but when asked about what environments suggested that crime, the chief said this. >> we have an investigative theory. okay? we had some evidence. and the purpose of the search swarnt to have enough probable cause to further the investigation. >> he first came on to the radar after the dep

. >> senator kennedy got a note that attorney general meese was calling for him. he stepped out of the hearing into a phone booth and took the call. ant and meese told him that was going to be bork. >> narrator: kennedy headed for the senate chamber. to the liberal senator from massachusetts, bork was a dire threat. >> everything that bork hadfo written and stoomeant that the civil rights and affirmative action push of the civil rights movementas in danger. >> ...and the senator from massachusetts is recognized... >> narrator: it had only been an hour sin reagan's announcement. kennedy let the prident and bork know they were in for a fight. >> mr. president, i oppose theon nominaf robert bork to the supreme court, and i urge the senate to reject it. >> and our staff said, "hey, go hear what kennedy is saying." so i went over. >> robert bork's america is a land in which women would bell forced into back abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids. >> whoa, this sounds a little i knew robe

they were referring directly to secretary of state george schultz and attorney general edwin meese at the time. one of the reasons during my chairmanship in the last decade that this committee operated so efficiently that there were 115 judiciary committee bills that were passed by both houses and signed into law by the president of the united states, is we didn't get involved in procedural folderol going on right now. keepe chairman wants to going through with this, there is no justice in the judiciary committee. that is something that will permanently scar this committee and set a precedent that will last for a long, long time. long after all of us leave the congress and maybe long enough for all of us have passed on to our great rewards. i would implore the chairman to think about what he is doing. think about what the president is setting. there has to be justice in this committee. isre there has to be justice to the minority party in this committee. this committee, throughout the last four or five decades, has stood up for just and for minorities in this society. we have passed l

meese say she was involved with at least five crashes leaving at least three people hurt. police started tailing the woman after running the car's plate. the car was stolen. this video released by police shows one of the crashes that we're talking about. you can see the kia sol plow right into the scaffolding after stops and starts. the driver then managed to get away. the chase ended ultimately with one final crash at sixth and claira in the south market neighborhood. woman hit a police car. police arrested the woman at that location. she was taken to the hospital after complaining of some pain. >> a fire that started on the third rail of the bart tracks shut down service between north berkeley and for over an hour this afternoon. the fire department said they received calls of an explosion with black smoke coming from the tracks just after 2:00. trains are moving slowly in that area. th there was a 20-minute delay. take a look at the bay bridge. traffic is moving again. very different story this morning though. traffic was a mess. after a terrible accident, traffic was a

taken so long for countries like russia china iran to start using currency swaps in rubles and romney meese. 1st of all there's no went for structure if you call up your bank and say i want to do something else the bank doesn't know what to do nearly and earlier everywhere in the world including america including in iran so it takes a while for people to start thinking about it it takes a while for people to actually learn how to do it and it takes a while for people to do it a bench everybody does it is 2nd nature they know that it's better off or it's easy thing to do but right now i know most places in the world if you save foreign currency everybody says u.s. dollars that's the problem and that's why people are the competitors are now trying to rise because they gave us dollar and u.s. government too much power i don't know where the run into christine legarde recently the famously convicted previously convicted of corruption in a french court head of the i.m.f. but i mean when you meet people like that they don't seem nearly as concerned as you do they seem relatively sanguine about th

i haven't gotten to this technique or we haven't studies they meese and they have so much more to do. we only have 45 minutes a week. i have taught a few students in some capacity who has gone on to study music. that feels anaysing. >> it is incredible to watch how they grow. somebody can make amazing project from you know, age 15 to 17 if they put their mind to it. >> i think i have 18 students now. these more than i've had in the past. i'm hoping to build up more of a studio. there will be a pee ono, lots of bookshelves and lots of great music. the students will come to my house and take their lessons there. my schedule changes a lot on a day-to-day basis and that kind of keeps it exciting. think that music is just my favorite thing that there is, whether it's listening to it or playing it or teaching it. all that really matters to me is that i'm surrounded by the sounds, so i'm going top keep doing what i'm doing to keep my life in that direction.

now, the federalist society got a boost during the reagan admission when attorney general edwin meeseve lawyers in key justice department positions. nearly half of george w. bush's judicial appointments were members of the federalist society. bush also appointed john roberts and samuel alito, who both have strong ties to the group, to the supreme court, and both of president trump's supreme court picks, neil gorsuch and brett kavanaugh were members of the society. they published how the executive director, this man, leonard leo, has used a network of nonprofit groups funded by donors to promote conservative judges and causes. a new frontline documentary that airs tonight on pbs looks at how the federalist society and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell have worked to build a more conservative supreme court and how they have politicized the confirmation process. michael kirk produced and directed frontline report. he joins me now. michael, thank you for being with us and thank you for making this important documentary. the intense political polarization we saw with the brett kavanau

mark, used to be, you worked for ed meese, you are his chief of staff.about long-standing policy of indicting a sitting president. barr said he had nothing to do with it. mueller had no consideration of doing it. jim comey, we know that they were informed about the dirty dossier. he signed the first fisa warrant, he is in legal jeopardy, ironically, and not the president. >> all right, what ought to happen here is that there should be a jury impaneled, comey should give testimony, and mccabe should give testimony, baker should give testimony. strzok, page, they should get a little bit of their own medicine, they should have a criminal grand jury and we should have a special counsel or a united states attorney take charge of the case and get to the bottom of it. put these people under oath and let them get the donald trump treatment. we went all of their documents, no privileges, nothing. drag them in and may be dragged their kids and too. but i wanted to talk about something else, because nancy pelosi he is quite ubiquitous these days. she is illiterate,

people may not know that you were the chief of staff to one of america's greatest attorney generals, ed meese the guys that i admire so much. are we better off than we were two and a half years ago on every foreign policy issue that you mentioned, and the best a relationship with israel ever, and are we better off on every discernible, measurable statistic economically? are we better off, mark? >> we are better off in every respect except where he needs help from the democrats, like on the border. we are worse off on the border d because nancy pelosi and the democrats want open borders. they want people pouring in here by the millions. they care about their party before they care about their country. that is absolutely the case. they want to turn the entire country into their failed cities.. so the president of the united states can't stand up, where he can act on his own constitutionally, he is. he tries to make deals with these people and they don't want to make deals, because they are hard-core radical ideologues coming out of the most radical osleft-wing parts of the countr. so when they

and, and meese told him that it was going to be bork. >> narrator: kennedy headed for the sete chamber the liberal senator from massachusetts, bork was a dire threat. >> everything that bork had written and stood for meant that the civil rights and affirmative acti push of the civil right movement was in danger. >> ...and the senator from massachusetts is recognized... >> narrator: it d only been an hour since reagan's announcement. kennedy let the president and bork know ey were in for a fight. >> mr. president, i oppose the nomination of robert bork tohe supreme court, and i urge the senate to reject it. >> and our staff said, "hey, gos hear what kennedaying." so i went over. >> roberbork's america is a land in which women would be forced into back-alleyor ons, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids. >> whoa, this sounds a little over the top. i knew robert rk, he'd been a professor of mine, and i liked the guy, but certainly myti journalistic it was, "okay, the fight's on, the fat'f in te. this is really going t

he didn't take the next step of saying to all my well-meaning staff meese don't do stuff like this.e didn't take the step of honoring the mccain family. in fact, he took the moment to go out and bash mccain again. every time he gets a chance to bash john mccain he does it. there is as question, and we don't really see it in polling yet, about whether this sort of constant chafing with people who have had distinguished military careers, whether it's jim mattis or john mccain, whether that will erode any support or enthusiasm for the president among the military who so strongly number quarters backed his election. >> and referring to the warship as a boat, so dismissive as barbara was laying out there, very dismissive to the people. i don't care if some boat is named after him. clearly the president does care about john mccain. he won't stop talking about him even though he's passed on, and people don't think that this is a wise thing for the president to do, but it goes to show the president's staff cannot restrain him and he goes out of his way to do things like this and it's turnin

before he got that job he wrote a meese with regard to obstruction of justice. >> should i he had it about the federal reserve not raising -- >> he might, watching now. >> i ten to be a skeptic about there is goss to be a day when we learn about president trump's taxes that is going to cause us to think differently than how we think about him right now. it might tell us about the deutsche bank loan. that might be interesting because deutsche bank is an interesting bank. i think there is a tendency all over american politics right now to think that the thing, a discovery, the arrival of a report, a nunes memo is going to land, change everything, it's going to be a meteor and everybody is going to have to learn that. the "new york times" fees is an interesting piece which confirms the narrative that he leverages everything, he b.s, it's all about a brand. he loses a 3409 lot of money, inherited a ton and squanders. and it is really one of the most successful bsers we have seen in american life. he became the president. >> we will leave it there. thank you to my panel this morning. >>>
