mr. trump waded into the controversy, complaining disney ceo bob iger never apologized for horrible statements made about him on disney's networks. press secretary sarah sanders. >> where was bob iger's apology to the white house staff for jemele hill calling the president and anyone associated with him a white supremacist? >> reporter: disney slash nbc television group president ben sherwood defended the decision to dump barr telling his staff "in the end it came down to doing what's right." >> so here we go again. >> reporter: on abc's "the view" whoopi goldberg criticized barr for retweeting this fake image of goldberg wearing an offensive anti-trump shirt. >> just because you were caught with your pants down don't try to drag other people down with you. >> reporter: comparing black people to monkeys and apes is a racist caricature that dates back hundreds of years. barr appeared to blame her use of that language on ambien. sanofi, the company that makes the sleep drug, responded to barr saying racism is not a known side effect. >>> the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. melatonin is

mr. giuliani has waded into what amounts foreign policy despite having no formal role in that area, is it>> no, it's not. but he is keeping -- keep in mind, president trump's personal lawyer, he does not represent the president on policy issues although when he speaks a lot of people listen. his big job right now is to deal with that russian investigation. >> we have heard over the weekend about a number of developments when it comes to how mueller is trying to chase up individuals who may or may not have been working in terms of that collusion. i wonder if you can give us an update in terms of what's happening with the investigation. >> yeah so the latest with the russia investigation is that we still don't know when it's going to wrap up we do know they're still negotiating or trying to negotiate with the trump legal team, rudy giuliani and others, headed by rudy giuliani, on whether or not the president is going to sit down and do an interview. the president according to giuliani really wants to do it and giuliani is advising against it some of the questions they don't know in advance,

wade, those senators should not vote for a candidate from the list. i yield the mr. mcconnell: mr. president? the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. mcconnell: i want to take another opportunity to pay tribute to justice anthony kennedy, who announced yesterday that he'll retire from active service and assume senior status at the end of july. justice kennedy deserves our sincere thanks for his service and our congratulations on a truly remarkable career. he served our nation on the federal bench for 43 years, 30 of which spent as an associate justice of the u.s. supreme court.

wade. in his letter to mr trump, justice kennedy expressed "profound gratitude" for having served in the highest in washington, anthony zurcher who's following developments in the story. as opposed president trump will be looking to change the balance on the supreme court. absolutely. we've already said he will pick a replacement for anthony kennedy from the list of about two dozen potential candidates that he compiled when he was a candidate, and the same list neil gorsuch from who's approving to be unreliable and conservative vote on the supreme court over the past term. i think there is no question that whoever replaces anthony kennedy will move the centre of power in the supreme court decidedly towards the conservatives. and as you mention that can call into question whether they are the votes to change abortion law, change the way gay rights is considered by our legal system. it's a major development and a difficult to overstate exactly how significant this will be going forward. morden up -- more developments in washington with president trump announcing he will meet the russian president

mr. candidate, will you appoint judges to pledge to overturn roe versus wade to make abortion illegal? and the candidate faithfully says, even when you know what the answer is, they always say oh, come on now, you know i have no litmus test on any one issue for any potential judge. that's been the way it has been for decades. in this past election, though, in 2016, that went away. on both sides, democratic candidates, hillary clinton and bernie sanders both said that they would only appoint nominees to the court who would overturn citizens united to get dark, secret and corporate money out of politics. the republican nominee, who ended up winning the presidency said that he would only appoint judges who would overturn roe versus wade, who would pledge to make abortion illegal. >> what i'm asking you, sir, is do you want to see the court overturn? you just said you want to see the court protect the second amendment. do you want to see the court overturn roe v. wade? >> well, if we put another two or perhaps three justices on, that's really what's going to be had. that will happen, and t

reading tonight that mr schumer and senator schumer the minority leader said that they would do everything that they can to block a nominee who would be willing to overturn roe v wade which is the case in the united states in the one nine hundred seventy s. that legalized abortion do you see that as a possibility that abortion case could be overturned. it's very clear in the what's even more real is that certain people in certain states very conservative states may have to travel to other states to have abortions now so the real problem is this that it isn't what it was before it used to require sixty votes in order to get a supreme court justice appointed now it only requires fifty one and at this point they have the votes so siddur just rumors basically doing once again he's making wishful thoughts and sort of saying he'll sort of bring the person out in front of the public to sort of say do you believe this or not and hold believe because some of the conservative senators are in election year they'll also sort of sad but it's a very difficult place to be in for this country's immigration attorney and vice president of the american immigration lawyers association

mr. curbelo: as those numbers grew and i don't mind telling you that he has been open, worked very diligently to meet with all the members who they believed might sign to disswaud wade from doing so. you know the history. most of them fail. this one came so close that it forced republican leadership for the first time since republicans took the majority in 2010 to bring a broad immigration bill to the floor that included a th some citizenship to two million undocumented immigrants. our end is to make law. but the impact that this effort has had on this institution is significant. and our democratic colleagues should feel a part of that effort. it would have been impossible without them. i'm grateful to them having worked with us. i also wished some of them would have been open to this legislation. and guess what? they told me this was a good product but politically it would be difficult for them to support it. so we are as open to working with them as we were on the day at jiff denham had this -- jeff denham had this idea and filed the rule. >> it was mentioned that the first goodlatte rule should have been -- that did not comport with what the president had asked f

mrs. ford illustrates the fourth conclusion i will share with you. that is, first ladies do have to tread carefully. they can wade into the politics of women's rights in the u.s., but they have to be careful about it. they are free to speak their minds. betty ford was celebrated for doing so. but if they do, they run the risk of becoming lightning rods for public criticism. why is this? ok. this leads me to my fifth conclusion. first ladies must not neglect the home and family. betty ford certainly did not. she really embraced and celebrated her role as a wife and mother. this is a picture of betty ford at the international women's year congress in cleveland ohio. -- cleveland, ohio. it is probably, i would say, one of her biggest speeches as first lady. she gave her well articulated stance on the e.r.a.. the e.r.a. was controversial for a number of other reasons. it hit feminists against -- pit feminists against homemakers. there was this perception if you supported one, you could not support the other. betty ford was actually quite distressed that homemakers for being devalued in the e.r.a. debate. she told her

mr. trump is moving quickly to replace justice anthony kennedy. the 81-year-old announced his retirement wednesday. he won't ask nominees about roe verses wader national security adviser michael flynn was delayed again. special counsel mueller wants to delay it again. he's pleaded guilty to meddling in the 2016 election. >> laura: time now, wait for it, friday follies. why is the "s" falling off at the end. filmmaker michael moore sat down with michael colbert. join me to discuss this and making young ones cry. raymond, what the heck did two cheeseburgers say? >> he's pushing a new documentary. he said this about the president. listen to the way in which he described the policies of president trump. >> i am as civil as any eagle scout, catholic alter boy could be when confronted with the devil. we are not talking about political differences, we are talking about thousands of children kidnapped from their parents and put in jail. >> people disagreed with the drone strikes of president obama. and they both separated families. no one ever painted in these stark violent terms. when you hear that, you think this leader must be removed and by any

mr. speaker. a simple number. well, that happens to be identical to the number of abortions in america each year. a million. so, since 1973 in roe vs. wade there have been 60 million babies aborted in this country. and about the same number of legal immigrants that have come into america. it just came into my head a couple days ago as i was listening to someone speak that for every time a legal immigrant comes into america, we abort an american baby here. and that baby goes -- i guess i could say as gently into the disposal at planned parenthood. that baby's destroyed for every individual that comes into america legally. and 600,000 illegals coming into america that we have to adjudicate and who knows how many come in that we aren't catching that we're not adjudicating. these american babies, these 60 million american babies are a hole in the demographics of america. and they are a heavyweight on a guilty conscience of a country. 60 million babies. and when you do the back of the envelope calculation to find out, what about those future mothers that were aborted, what about those future fathers that were aborted, what would they have don

mr. january. caterpillar right behind >> i think you are wrong what is the choice are they going to an airbus plane correctly. >> you don't have any china-related stocks at all? >> of course, i do we'll wade for that. >> this did, boeing. >> apple, trade war stocks or not a trade war stock? guy adami, are you up. >> one would think the logical answer it is a trade war stock. a significant percentage of the revenues, most of the components are built there. oh my god, apple will get decimated. i would say, however, not a trade war. >> wow another guy getting skin in the game. >> i think i'm playing the game right. if you look and this is my -- i think tim cook is, i think his relationship with china is such that they will not be harmed i think they have some sort of hands shake agreement with the trump administration and probably the administration in china. listen, don't come after us. you want to do ancillary stuff, that's fine. my sense is this stock will not get hit if there is a full blown trade war. >> here's the thing, if it's a full blown trade war, though what does that mean? >> i don't think it will be. >> the growth you are getting right now, this will make you happy. >> thank yo

wade, those senators should not vote for a candidate from the list. i yield the floor. and note the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: mr. schumer: i ask unanimous consent the quorum be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. schumer: i ask unanimous consent that the later parts of my statement on immigration and on a few other issues be added into the record right here. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. schumer: thank you. quorum call: , mr. roberts: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from kansas. mr. roberts: thank you, madam president. i again rise, especially today, as the senate continues to consider legislation on an issue that is critically -- critically -- important to our nation. it is the agriculture improvement act of 2018 or what we call the farm bill. i want to emphasize again -- and i don't know how i can emphasize this more strongly, but i hope my colleagues will understand -- that the responsibility, the absolute requirement, is to provide farmers, ranchers, growers, everyone within america's food chain certainty and predictability during these very diff

wade as settled law. >> the supreme court, should nominate -- >> reporter: both senators collins and murkowski did support the president's last supreme court pick, neil gorsuch. mr. trump says he's going to choose from a list of 25 conservative judges and soar 17 of them have been appointed to other federal judgeships. so that list has narrowed quite a bit. >> quite a bit indeed,s on the k you. >>> a controlled fire to burn unwanted forest in florida ended in disaster. ahead, how it burned three dozen homes. why survivors say the state i >>> a former worker ats a facility caring for children is speaking out. >> ahead, only on "cbs this morning," she tell us why she decided to video what she saw and quit in protest. >> you're watching "cbs this morning." what about him? let's do it. ♪ come on. at the mercedes-benz summer event. lease the glc300 for $429 a month at your local mercedes-benz dealer. mercedes-benz. the best or nothing. before people invite something they want to know who you are. we're almond breeze. and we only use california-grown blue diamond almonds in our almondmilk. cared for by our family of almond growers. blue diamond almond breeze. the best

mr. president, you might have five. just the way biology and time effects history. ainsley: if they wanted to overturn roe v. wadei doubt that would happen, right? if they wanted to, how would they bring that back and do it again? >> i don't know that the chief justice, catholic though he is, pro-life though he is, will want to do this. he is of the view that -- public opinion, even elections. elections are important and make a difference. that's why donald trump is there. they have consequences. ainsley: a lot of christians voted for him for this reason. judge: correct. chief justice of the view when law so long people have planned their lives on it that a single election shouldn't change it but to go to your question, it f. it is invalidated. that would leave it up to the states. abortion, which is lawful up to the moment of birth in new jersey, regrettably will stay the way it is in new jersey. unlawful in new york and pennsylvania. picks the way to go. steve: so many things to think about. gigantic decision on the president's shoulders. judge, you are coming back in two hours. study up. judge: i will see if i

wade as well. when i told them what we were about, it really wasn't hard to get the interviews. , likebaton without the "b." caller: mr. thomas, when i first heard about colin kaepernick and his protest, i didn't know what to expect. but then one sunday, on tv, i saw a solemn looking man taking knee because of the injustices in our society toward men of color. as for me, i could say that about everyone i've seen taken the. -- take a knee. a solemn looking, almost sad face. it seems to me like these are deeply held beliefs by these players, and i salute them for the respectful manner of their protest, mr. thomas. host: that was carmine in new york. next, ron in elizabeth, indiana. caller: i just want to say, i wordsthat mr. thomas's are eloquent and shine the bright light of truth on an injustice taking place across the country. it is my understanding that a protest is to cause a disruption in something that is taking place in order to shine this light. why do the players not take possession of the ball, and then prevent the games from going forward until their views are heard? guest: well, that's definitely a strategy

mr. president, one issue i know women across the country will be focused on and asking about is their constitutionally protected right to control their own health care decisions affirmed in roe v. wade, because let me be clear. women and men in this country understand how directly tied this write is to a woman's freedom and economic security. and they overwhelmingly do not want to see that right rolled back. now, today is the anniversary of a ruling that further upheld women's constitutionally protected preproductive -- reproductive rights, and i wanted to take a few minutes to discuss what this decision meant for women's lives and why we will not stop fighting to protect the progress we made. almost a half century ago in its historic roe v. wade decision, supreme court ruled that every woman no matter where she lives has the constitutional right to make her own decisions about her body, her family, and her future, including the right to safe legal abortion. but a right means nothing without the ability to exercise it. while roe v. wade has been the law of the land for years, extremists have been trying to change the court's decision by making it hard for women to exercise their rep

wade, those senators should not vote for a candidate from the list. i yield the mr. mcconnell: mr. president? the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. mcconnell: i want to take another opportunity to pay tribute to justice anthony kennedy, who announced yesterday that he'll retire from active service and assume senior status at the end of july. justice kennedy deserves our sincere thanks for his service and our congratulations on a truly remarkable career. he served our nation on the federal bench for 43 years, 30 of which spent as an associate justice of the u.s. supreme court. his contributions to american jurisprudence has been many. in particular, he earned our gratitude for his steadfast defense of the vital first amendment right, political speech. so we congratulate justice kennedy and his wife mary and their entire family on this well-earned retirement. we wish them every happiness during the additional time they get to spend together in the years ahead. as stated yesterday, the senate stands ready to fulfill our constitutional role by offering advice and consent on p
