mrs. wallace has mother-in-law? >> interesting. wonderful question. mrs. wallace -- ok, so this family comes from independence, missouri. the wallaces were considered arisstrow cats in this -- a istrocratses. -- ar truman was a former. and the wallace lived in independence. all the letter exist of this courtship. and she was very much not in favor of this farm boy because she said "he was never going to go anywhere. and even when they were living in the white house in 1945, mrs. wallace was living in the white house, she still looked down on harry even though he was president of the united states. >> how much education did harry truman have? > again, a great contrast to roosevelt who went to harvard law. truman never finished college. the family was broke when he finished high school. so he had to go and work on the farm. and he worked in kansas city for a little bit. at some point he took law classes at night. i think he had pretty good grades, a's and b's. but he never finished. no college degree. no law degree. this was the man who took over for f.d.. >>

mrs. wallace, his mother-in-law? a.j.: interesting. wonderful question. --. wallace, this fall is family comes from independence, missouri. the family is considered aristocrats. the trumans were farm people. mrs. wallace, throughout harry's , wasship of that, -- beth never in favor of this farm boy because he was never going to go anywhere. white house, the she still looked down at harry. brian: how much education did harry truman have? a.j.: again, a great contrast to roosevelt who had gone to columbia and harvard law. truman never finished college. the family was broke when he finished high school. he went and worked in kansas city for a little bit and at some point he took some more classes at night. he never finished. no college degree, no law degree and this is the man who took over for fdr. brian: what did he ever run in his life? a.j.: it is interesting to think, when he became president he had never been mayor or governor of the state. innk about that, following roosevelt's footsteps. he was the chief executive of a county. much of which was rural. it

mrs. wallace has mother-in-law? a.j.: interesting. you will wonderful question. now will 'mrs. wallace -- ok, so will work with former will and will all the letters exist of thisll or not courtship.a and and areyou brian: how much education did harry truman have? a.j.: again, a great contrast to roosevelt who went to harvard law. truman never finished college. the family was broke when he finished high school. and so he had to go and work on you the and avoid farm. a farm. you and he worked in kansas city for a little bit. you will at some point he took and will on law he had been the head judge of jackson county, missouri. which he was the chief executive of the county most of which was rural. had kansas city in it. but most of it was rural. he had never been chief executive of anything. brian: how did he ever get elected to the united states senate and what role did mr. pendergas play? a.j.: mr. pendergas, fascinating figure. a fun person to write about because he was this larger than life man. he had a bull frog head and bull frog eyes. extraordinarily powerful man. he was th

that used to kaspersky mr wallace they are on that list that's incredible unprecedented because they say that these people are the enemies of united states the whole government except for you probably the they're just not allowed to make you were an enemy of their country oh well maybe i should hold the grudge maybe i should. find that a fantasy. let's say. so i have a feeling that they had a half a years to compile the document but judging by the words in the wording it seems as if a student was working the student who was copying your words from russian websites like all the things relating to the position send everything just poorly translated into english and also take it from the forbes websites or magazines and they say these people are the enemies of the usa so first question what are we going to do about that. how do we respond we'll be surrogates who need to know that and the second things. on the list this morning when reading that could be no. drinking their coffee actually if they were in lard or california that very moment but a man this surrogates i've heard one discuss

mr. wallace is absolutely correct. it's beyond impossible not to remember that. senator durbin is the only one who has publicly, on the record, detailed the meeting and have used those words. others have taulked about it in background, senator graham has talked about it in inference. it's pretty clear where senator graham is but he hasn't said it directly. senator durbin says i stand behind what he said and my colleagues now have restored memory. they were there. they heard the same words i did. the president's character is the biggest issue here. if you're looking down here at the 2018 midterms, and i will be guilty of this for the rest of the year, focusing on politics, they were saying, oh, i've got to help the president out of this mess here. you would think especially the senator's remarks in georgia in the civil rights journey of this country, you might think twice about trying to rewrite the truth here, right? >> well, apparently not. but to manu's point, why doesn't the president just apologize? he never apologizes, he never backs down, he never expresses

mr. wallace, i wonder how our churches need to change.en the fact that the current administration was mostly elected by people who identify themselves as christians but tend not to go to church. if we are talking about the role religious institutions can play, it is hard to play that role if religious institutions are not factors in people's lives. i wonder how you think the church has to change in order to inform that moral imagination, as you framed it. >> the first thing the church has to do is acknowledge that it also is racist. that the sin of racism is not a sin that is out there. it is a sin that permeates all of us. one of the things that pope francis does, and he does quite well, when he describes himself, -- it was asked -- how would you describe yourself? and he said -- i am a sinner. and it was not just a cute response. it was a sincere response that as a minister of the gospel, i'm going to invite the people that i care for and serve to conversion and so i have to begin by saying that it is a journey i have to take with you.

wallace: nancy, of course, was an old, dear friend of mine. >> let me finish now. ( laughs ) >> kroft: he'd worked with her mother in his early radio days. even so, mrs in their interviews. >> nancy reagan: oh, mike. come on now. you're putting words in my mouth, mike wallace. >> wallace: you can take them out right now. ( laughs ) >> kroft: and in a 2006 interview, mike had no use for the idea that mr. reagan was a lightweight. >> wallace: baloney. he knew enough to bring an end to the cold war. >> okay, everybody settle. we have tape rolling. steve. >> kroft: an important interview for the clintons in 1992, when he was running for president. >> bill clinton: let me just say one other thing-- >> kroft: 34 million people watched as the couple fielded questions about gennifer flowers. >> kroft: she's alleging a 12- year affair with you. >> bill clinton: that allegation is false. >> hillary clinton: you know, i'm not sitting here like some little woman standing by my man, like tammy wynette. i'm sitting here because i love him. >> kroft: and for added drama, a light fell off the wall and nearly hit them. >> you know, an average person-- jesus, mary and

wallace. >>> fake news. >> period. >> congratulations, mr. president. >> i am outraged. >> lordy, i hope there are tapes. >> this trump and russia thing is a made-up story. >> we're getting nothing done. >> violated my body. >> it was disgusting. >> he mashed his lips against my face. >> 2017 has been an unbelievable year. the most outrageous, the most surprising and exhausting. the greatest number of "have you seen this" events we've ever seen. >> everybody makes lists this time of year. we're calling ours, "the year's 10 most." >> welcome to "the 10 most." i'm brian williams. >> and nicolle wallace. >> i hoped she was going to jump in there. >> he kicked me. >> we have done this before. i should explain, we're on the 27th floor of 30 rockefeller plaza in a kitchenette. we don't like to brag, but it's pretty nice. >> we chose it, though. >> we did choose it to get away from the usual studio look and, boy, did we succeed. we have been at this before. our producers on this project in their wisdom said to us about a month ago, hey, why don't yo

. >> our other friend niccole wallace is fond of saying that you and mr. corker had a drink of the truth serum known as not having to run for reelection. after you're gone, though, there is a core population, i believe, in this country, kind of the sensible core as there is in your party, in the democratic party, that wants to know we're going to be okay, wants to know the country is going to hold together and be all right. what assurances will you have as you look at washington in the rearview mirror and start your long drive out west? >> well, i'm very concerned about where we're going. we've seen on the right, certainly, republicans just pandering, playing to the base pretty hard. on the left as well. i see mostly the energy in the democratic party on the far left, and that leaves a large swath of voters right in the middle. a big swath who are saying that, hey, we need, you know, a party that governs. so i am very concerned at the vanishing middle. chuck todd brings those charts out about the most liberal democrats used to be more conservative -- the c

day that the university of alabama was to be integrated, and governor wallace stood in the door and tried to block that integration. mr. kennedy had to have the national guard federalized. he stood before the nation and said in eloquent terms the problem which we face in the area of civil rights is not merely a political issue, it is not merely an economic issue, it is, at bottom, a moral issue. it is as old as the scriptures and as modern as the constitution. it is a question of whether we will treat our negro brothers as we ourselves would like to be treated. and on the heels of that great speech, he went in, recommended to the congress of our nation the most comprehensive civil rights bill ever recommended by any president of our great nation. unfortunately, after many months of battle, and for a period we got a little tired of that- you know, there are some men in our country who like to talk a lot. maybe you read about the filibuster. and you know they get bogged down in the paralysis of analysis, and they will just go on and on and on. and they wanted to talk that bill to death. but president lyndon johnson got

mr. wolff made about how we think about the president is ridiculous. >> mike pompeo with chris wallace yesterday. the president so far, shep, has refrained from commenting at all about sloppy steve on the wolff book or anything having to do with policy. he's hoping that when he visits the annual convention for the farm bureau, the first by a sitting president in nashville, that it will be all about policy, it will be about agriculture, trade and tax cuts. shep? >> shepard: john, the plane has clearly landed as you referenced. before it did, there was a white house gaggle there on the plane. hogan gidley, one of the spokespeople came back to address the media. one question was a reaction to mr. bannon's statement. and he said "i don't believe there's anyway back for mr. bannon at this point." he's kind of out there on an island, isn't he? >> might seem difficult as bob corker has proven, lindsey graham and others have proven. you can criticize the president, you can even very curtly criticize the president. if you work with him, you can find your way back. but you criticize the family and things

mr. schweizer in clinton cash have been proven wrong. his -- in fact, ironically, he sat on this set with chris wallace when he wrote the book and chris, i it because it's unbelievable, chris wrote that clinton took no direction action was involved in any way in proving nine agencies of the company. peter had to admit he overreached when secretary clinton vetoed it. it's a 9 person agency it's not her decision. >> laura: why would if you are involved in giving money to the clinton foundation that's great. that doesn't look good. why would millions of dollars. >> because when you. >> laura: be funneled to the clinton foundation when there were pending matters before the state department and important matters with the government? we can go through all of them. they are well-known. why would they do that? why? >> well, i think a couple things. first of all nothing was funneled. things were donated and made public. they made every penny public. >> laura: peter has to respond to what you just said about the book. go ahead what philippe had charged. >> it's not true with all due respect. $2.35 million donation from the chairman of uranium one
