of all say thank you for contributing, please continue through the red cross, organizations like minutemen that are working on the ground, i've been in touch with other attorney generals, sean reyes who is providing supplies for some of these people. and i've gotten calls from all over the nation. it is humbling to know that people are behind us and that they are coming to our aid during a difficult time for the state. >> molly: it is not over yet. we know that more water is on the way, ken paxton, thank you so much for joining us for the few minutes today. >> thank you, keep us in your prayers. >> leland: well, harvey had the world's eyes on texas, president trump made his very first pardon, and a controversial one at that. an in-depth look at the media coverage of the pardoning of sheriff joe arpaio when we come back. >> that was a very unique and personal decision that the president took. he made that decision on friday night. i don't think that that took more than a minute of his time on friday night. duncan just protected his family with a $500,000 life insurance policy. how much do y

in other words, this country was founded on the back of the nested army and its soldiers, whether minutemen at bunker hill, valley forge, et cetera, et cetera, like that. this army that these men and women serving and we recruit people in, so the army our soldiers serve in is older than the republic they defend. i think it's important to understand as our board of directors, this special institution yet that is older than the country you are a citizen of, and quite honestly is responsible for even the existence of the country you are a citizen of and all the many great benefits we have and so again putting a prospective why i do appreciate the chance to come out and speak to our board of directors is one of the leaders of the oldest institution in the united states, in fact, older than the nation itself. so thanks a lot for support and god bless you all. thanks.

the minutemen at concord and lexington were lousy fighters.y lost tactically in the early years of our revolution. kept losing tactically, but we won strategically. and what the taliban are doing is losing tactically. they're lousy fighters compared to our troops, but they're winning strategically, and we can't, we just can't face up to it. ashley: all right. colonel ralph peters, stay right there. more for you in a minute on killer robots. stay right there. >>> meanwhile, dow futures off the lows from earlier this morning, lots of red arrows but modestly so. the dow, s&p and nasdaq all just slightly lower before we head into the trading day in about 23 minutes from now. other news, the big shipping company agreeing to sell to totale in a $7 billion deal. texas power distributer encore electric delivery company for $9.45 billion. some big deals. by the way, that last bid tops a bid by berkshire hathaway that came just last month. >>> okay, well, white house economic adviser gary cohn looking visibly uncomfortable. we've shown this to you many

got to congress with vim and vigor ready to go and mike joked one time saying i feel like we're minutemen arriving at the battlefront and told the revolution is over. and that's how we felt. we got no child left behind. prescription drug benefit and in 2006 we were turned out of the majority and lost the white house in 2008. so this problem of principle that we're having now didn't start with president trump. it started long before. some of the policies the president has put forward, policies of isolationism, those are foreign to conservatives. we've always believed in free trade and conservatives have always been more steady in demeanor and comportment. that means something. chaos is not a good principle. >> bill: you are making the case for the party to get back on its principles and you said you also let -- you'll oppose the president when you think he is wrong and support him when you think he is right and you said why you think he is wrong. tell us when you believe he has been right. >> he appointed a great supreme court justice neil gorsuch. on regulatory policy he has been right. o

guests, wenow, our thought, carl that the minutemen would be mario draghi.is janet yellen. >> there will be multiple in is eclipses -- multiple next week. janet yellen has been more cautious. the likeliness of her sending the markets for a loop is less. i think mario draghi will try to be careful but he has had a less successful track record. i still think any comments -- we know what the fed is intending to do here. there is still a greater degree of uncertainty over what ecb policy will look like in 2018. speech will be interesting because it is about financial stability. they have been talking a bit a lot. can you gauge what that might mean for monetary policy? >> presidents in particular, and people, have talked about imbalances in real estate, equity markets. she does not appear to have bought into those concerns. concerned about creating financial stability but she thinks we are at a much less advanced stage of generating those types of imbalances. i think she will echo those themes in her remarks on friday. david: as we read those minutes earlier this

mcca mike joked with me once on the floor saying i feel like we're minutemen called to the battle frontvolution is over and now we're going to be talking about things like a prescription drug benefit or no child left behind instead of the big battles of ideas that republicans used to engage in. but we became a coarser party during that time. standing up with few republicans willing to stand up and say that's wrong, that's out of line. i think whether it's a republican or a democrat doing that, we ought to stand up and say some things should be out of bounds, and i think we're losing some of that. >> senator flake, you talk about just how important it is to actually have principles when it comes to foreign policy, and some of the damage that donald trump has done to our foreign policy, i'm curious, how confident are you in this administration's strategy when it comes to north korea? >> i have tremendous confidence in general mattis and rex tillerson. he's a great guy. i do think president has picked a good cabinet and surrounded himself with good people. he's done some good things, i thi
