and they talk about us all the time, richard. >> kimberly: especially you, greg. >> richard: this rule is vague. the idea of respect for the flag. are they going to close every concession stand? force every fan to take their hat off? >> pete: they should. >> richard: it's a vague rule. it's written vaguely and it's written to punish players for using their first amendment rights. let's be very clear. the flag is nothing without our constitution and the first amendment, freedom of speech. >> greg: it is about the flag. i thought it was about police brutality. >> dana: kimberly and i can't come here and wear t-shirts with a bad word written on them. it's against company policy but it's my first amendment right to walk around in the street with it. >> richard: apples and oranges. taking a knee before this controversy was a sign of reference. jesus took a knee in the garden of gethsemane. taking a knee. it's always been a sign of reverence. they are not putting a fist up. they are taking in knee when the pledge is happening. [all speaking] >> kimberly: that is not how you kneel in church.

richard, you love it. >> richard: i will be up all night. >> kimberly: thank you. >> richard: this isge. harry was 12, the world watched him bury his mother. to watch him find true love and true happiness at windsor, his grandfather, who is sick is going to the wedding. prince philip who is also huge, charles his father charles is walking his bride down the aisle. i'm going to be up all night. >> kimberly: i think it's super exciting and i love that you made that point. nice for prince charles nice that he is going to walk meghan down the aisle answered speaks so lovingly about his son. he has had to take on the role of his mother and father. >> dana: do you think there will be another royal baby soon? >> dana: i have predicted all three of those kids in the royal family. i'm going to give it six months. >> why they keep leaking to the media they want children immediately. >> richard: are we talking about this? >> kimberly: greg, you need to warm your heart with a little bit of the royal crown. >> gregg: i don't have a heart. >> kimberly: he did lose his mom at a very young age he has

richards: yes. vu: your father, david, is a civil-rights attorney, and you write in your book that your dinner table was never really about eating. it was for sorting precincts lists, so what's your earliest memory of being politically active? richards: well, i mean, that was the... i had an incredible childhood. i mean, my parents were into every movement that came through town -- the farmworkers, the women's movement. i think the most important moment for us, though, was when my mom got to run the first campaign ever of a woman who was running for the state house, sarah weddington who had argued the roe. vs. wade case, and as kids we all got to be involved, and i saw firsthand both how hard it was for women to run for office and how important it was and how exciting it was because she won that race, and then, of course, mom went on to have her own political career. vu: and one of the most notable moments of your career, i mean, we all watched it nationally in 2015, was when congress investigated c

richards: none. vu: was that one of the toughest challenges during your tenure at planned parenthood? chards: oh, absolutely. i mean, you know, fake videotapes that were used to try to damage the reputation of the organization,e we had f congressional s investigating planned parenthood, more than investigated enron or the financial crisis, but we got through that, and i think one of the most important things about that hearing was it ended up being opportunity to educate millions of people in this country abouthe incredible health ca that planned parenthood provides every single day to thousands of women in america. vu: and yet you're stepping down at a time when many women would argue that planned parenthood needs someone with your experience at the helm. richards: well, i'm really proud of what we've done over the last 12 years to invese in a wew generation of leaders all across the country, and, of course, ni wouldn't be stepping d if i felt like that we were at risk. we are actually stronger toda

then you understand richard nixon a little better. >> robert merry?> well, i think that's absolutely right. nixon did decline to challenge those vote questions. i think that there was some stealing of the votes that took place in illinois in and chicago under the machine of mayor daly. and in doing so, he manifested a pretty good element of character. i think he also showed some character when he became president after 1968. in not ever talking about the mess that he had inherited from lyndon johnson. he never said, look, i'm struggling, as donald trump has done, as barack obama did. i'm struggling with what i inherited. he didn't do that. he was a fought man in some very, very significant ways. but in these two instances, i think he shod some sigficant character. >> i want you to watch,his is richard nixon campaigning in february of 1968 in new hampshire and being interviewed as he's going from one campaign event to another. >> just to restate this question, why do you want to do this? it's such a man-killing thing, and you've already put in time --

richard nixon did something in 1960 that was quite unusual in politics.u have to remember, he refused to come forward and be a part of the coalition that wanted him to challenge the -- in pennsylvania and also in illinois, and as a result, he lost. if you recall that period of time, then you understand richard nixon a little better. >> roberts. >> is absolutely right. nixon did decline to challenge those. there was some stealing of the votes under the machine. and in doing so, he manifested a pretty good element of character. i think he also showed some character when he became president, after 1968, and not ever talking about the mess that he had inherited from lyndon johnson. he never said well, look, i'm struggling as donald trump has done, as barack obama did. i'm struggling with what i inherited. he did not do that. in these two instances i think he shows some significance. >> this is richard nixon campaigning in february 1968, in new hampshire, and being interviewed as he is going from one campaign event to another. >> the question is, why do you wa

>> president hillis: commissioner richards?>> commissioner richards: something i'm still struggling with, the level of code compliance when the architect said, well, the two buildings requires more exceptions because of the way the windows face and all that. can you comment on that? >> represent the question. >> commissioner richards: so i just want to understand. the current building requires how many requiremenunits to ge exception, the two buildings requires how many units to get an exception, and the flip version requires how many units to get an exception. >> a code complying rear yard requires no exposure exception. >> commissioner richards: so there'd only be one unit that would require -- >> one unit on a typical floor, and that would be the one that's facing an interior light well or side lot line rimpds richards got it. and that would be how many. number of floors times... >> president hillis: 18. >> commissioner richards: and the current plan requires how many exceptions, mr. vu. >> 62 units, and to answer your quest

people hate to get my calls the. >> i think i richard long -- learned it from richard holbrook the art of being annoying. >> we will run out of time very soon but this is the last question a lot of books and magazine pieces in conversations about the liberalism of our time that the democracy the but with that electoral politics and then it creates passing phenomenon that it is a growing trend and is there any references pre-world war i or world war ii? >> i'm worried about the more militarized world when we have i think that is changing the tenure of what we care about in those relationships and as the most powerful nation on earth right now the way we conduct ourselves is that the nation really important and we bring to the table on the other side is important. so again that backoff issue is all the more acute and important. but also a shadowy narrative without the book but nobody else is sitting on their morals with the china is willing to put money into diplomacy will have a situation like city in the decade ago where china was the classic interloper not caring about human rights no

richards -- >> commissioner richards: so effectively, a whole foods or large grocery store could not go in. one of the things we did recently at the lucky penny site, there was an s.u.d. that was created that bent the rules, that allowed high density and things in exchange for the developer gave back to us. so maybe the numbers don't work now as is which is a straight project, but i think i'd urge you to go work with the supervisors office to go explore an s.u.d. or something that can actually make everything fit together nice and work better, including a use size larger than 4,000 square feet which could allow a grocery store to go in. that would be my recommendation. so i guess i'll make a motion -- so what you did say was they cannot come back within a year or they can? >> well, in their current form -- nick, you can correct me, but if you deny a conditional use, you cannot come back with essentially the same proposal in a year. >> commissioner richards: this would take more than a year to figure out. >> well, it would, but they can't come back with the same proposal within a year

absentee from overseas for richard nixon. had voted republican since then until 2016 i have noticed that our party has changed a lot. we have people calling themselves conservatives that do not conserve a thing. i would venture to say that the gentleman in the white house mr. trump . he may as well been a democrat as well as our former president, mr. obama. i believe trump transitioned to the republican party. the point is is the politics is changing and converting. we have people that do not understand that conservative values conserve. you can serve the union, you can serve your physical resources. and you can serve national and strategic resources. because of politics we get wrapped up into political parties of a right or left. or democrat and republican parties. and we lose the truth. just like we think about the civil war is a war between the north and the south. wars are not started by people. it's inspired by the military. >> thank you for your call 20. >> it's interesting that the caller in 2016 didn't vote republican

let's get more with richard turnill.isks about why the president was taking so much time to confirm the prime minister. what we saw yesterday is yields higher for italy. are the markets complacent or two aggressive? richard: you have had an increase in political risk in italy but it has not spread to other markets. it has been very much a localized risk or a series of localized risks. when we have seen this type of events in the past, the higher spreads persist for some time. at the risk of a crisis in italy is low, but i'm certain it will persist for some time. that means italian yields will likely remain higher than in other parts of the world for some time. , socine: the ecb is firm what happens at the end of the year when they start gilling back there qe? we pitted the italian yelled with indonesia -- yield with indonesia. nathalie: the real challenge -- challenge willal come not when the ecb starts to gradually withdraw qe. we think the first rate hike is still probably over a year away, so a gradual return to tight

commissioner richards? >> commissioner richards: okay. so first off, the reason why we're hearing this a week after -- a week before adoption is my fault. i'm actually going out of town, and i asked the president of the commission to schedule this when i'm here. so i want everybody to know that. now, being given all that, there's a week between now and the scheduled adoption hearing. so we're supposed to hear this on may 3rd, and i asked to hear it today. so i'll take responsibility for that. i think one of the things -- there's a lot here. i went through almost a whole pad of these little yellow stickers as everybody was talking. you know, every time there's a change, based on the stuff that we see every week, there's a lack of trust from the public to the department, the commission, maybe except for mr. hall, certainly the building inspection department, where, you know, there was a meeting yesterday and there was a lot of issues around demolitions. we see it every week, so i can see where people are coming from. first question is -- so

richard nixon has no chance at all.adical maneuver. >> nixon tells his team to use a woman to monkey wrench the negotiations in paris. >> anna, a fundraiser of nixon campaign is telling saigon stay away from peace talks and you'll get a better deal if nixon is elected. >> as my candidate joins me in this, neither he or i will say anything that might destroy the chance to have peace. we want peace. >> i think it's dirty pool for dick's people to be messing with the south vietnamese ambassador. anybody keep measures to all the crowd they're just tied up for a few days. >> lbj feels confident to move forward. the condition that north neat vietnam has asked for has been met. so, four-party peace talks, will happen. well in saigon november 1st, the president stands up and drops his major bombshell. >> translator: south vietnam cannot participate in the negotiations. >> i have no more things to tell you. >> embarrassment is commonly today among americans here in vietnam particularly those of us who have acquaintances among th

richard: exactly. alix: we got a tweet from the saudi energy minister, i am in close contact with producers and will be connecting with others to ensure market stability. what does that mean? >> he is protecting the saudi aramco ipo in the coming months because the reality is, the world is confused. they do not know if the off-line or online product of iran is in the markets yet or the prices, so he is trying to stabilize the current prices, which benefit them considerably in today's markets. alix: do you buy it? richard: i think it is right. now we will see the contrary actions and disagreements come out for 10 long-term iranian, long-term russian, and long-term saudi interest. alix: you laid out your thesis, and you will see above 70 but not the kind of huge range we necessarily saw. how do you invest with that? what is your big call? chad: the most exciting part about the u.s. possibility of energy independent in 2028 is the infrastructure in the country. the oil will be consistently plus or minus a

why did richard nixon win. >>> that's a good question. i would say a couple of factors, i would think primarily the sense of distongues in the country. i think desires to going bake to the 1960 election, everything is fine, and it's hard to understand how it was, how dysfunctional it was, p, -- i think that was a big factor for nixon, i think another important factor was you just read the electric tore y'all numbers, i think i have another week then humphrey will pull the nomination out. i pulled the election out, it, but one thing about nixon, there were people behind him. nixon was not a popular figure. one day, i would just tell you the one thing -- they didn't like richard nixon, they didn't like him, they didn't respect him and i think that was a view held by a lot of americans, it speaks to reach candidates he barely, barely hems him, and it would have been a larger number. >> we'll focus on the party next week. kathleen thomas, what is the legacy for fib all causes and for the democratic party. i i hope that we should get involved,

"and all of this richard m.as acted in a manner contrary to his trust as president and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the united states, wherefore richard m. nixon by such conduct warrants impeachment and trial and removal from office." that was article 2. that is how richard nixon was in the process of being impeached when he resigned. that's why nixon would have been impeached if he didn't quit first just ahead of it. richard nixon hated the press. as a californian he had a complex relationship with the california newspapers. but he really, really hated the "l.a. times" and the chandler family who ran it. and his hatred of the chandler family and the "l.a. times," that showed up in some of the type of behavior for which he was ultimately impeached. using the available federal machinery. using the power of the federal government to the extent that he could control it to punish his enemies. our current pr

hey, richard haass, let me start with you. let's just before we get into all the details the meeting -- that was going to be, but now has been called off at least for the time being, i'm curious in your immediate reaction. my immediate reaction is a positive one. you don't have half-baked summits. you don't leap in to try to change headlines or the front page of the paper. he rushed in just for those, he rushed in to a meeting where he wasn't even supposed to be a member. he pushed and said, let's have a summit, and 15 minutes later they hatched a summit on one of the most important geopolitical issues in the globe so anything that pushes that summit back and gives him more time to prepare, at least for me, it seems like good news, what about you? >> i agree. i believe there was no chance that the summit could seed. the gap between the two sides was enormous, joe. to me this was something of a respite. an opportunity. the real question is whether the time is used to create the conditions could be convened where diplomacy could

richard? yeah. richard, richard, how do you feel about this? because you're being political now.ot being political, i'm being really brutal with the right now. what i think is, i think what's happened there is a disgrace and i've spoken to you about this at length, but what i'm worried about you is... it's a disgrace, simple, leave it at that, mate. we've lost families, friends, neighbours. don't expect us to recover as if it was a bike crash or something. why are you angry with me then? don't try and make me look like i'm the one who is angry for the wrong reason. i'm angry for the right reason! what's going on with mahad? mahad's very... he's really upset and i don't blame him because he's been dyed any access to get near his house or anything for weeks on end. —— denied. and yet, look on itjust seems that if you turn up at the right and you can go down and take pictures and gawk. he just seems really traumatised though. he is, he's absolutely traumatised at the end of his tether. what support‘s been offered to him? none. the firms that carried out the work on grenfell tower ha

richard nixon was not impeached. he resigned when the supreme court ordered the release of the white house tapes and on the tapes it was a sure bet. the tapes proved and showed and elaborated on his profound guilt. when nixon resigned to the presidency. there were three articles of impeachment pending against him. the first was the water gate bre break in. lying to investigators, withholding evidence, paying people for silence, paying meme to lie, tipping of people, lying to the public. but the second article which he was going to be impeached. article two, that was about abuse of power. misusing the irs. trying to get them to unlawfully target people for audit and investigation. misusing the irs and fbi and secret service. purposes unrelated to national security and functions of his office. in all of this richard m. nixon. he by such conduct warrants impeachment and trial and removal from office. that was article two. that is how richard nixon was in the process of being impeached. when he resigned. that's why nixon

[laughter] i passed a copy to holberg. and if anybody could do it it was you. >> thanks, it was just what i needed. it was the last e-mail i had ever got from him. >> i was saying my going away party a good friend came out from washington and i hate to say it but that was last time i ever saw him was less meal he ever had out on the town. i remember at the time giving him t

richard nixon hated the press. as a californian, he had a complex relationship with the california newspapers, but he really really hated the "l.a. times" and the chandler family who ran it. and his hatred of the chandler family and the "l.a. times," that showed up in some of the type of behavior for which he was ultimately impeached using the available federal machinery, using the power of the federal government to the extent that he could control it to punish his enemies. our current president also hates the press. he likes to talk about how much he hates cnn and "the new york times" and nbc. he seems particularly to hate "the washington post." the president has latched on personally to "washington post" owner jeff bezos who runs amazon.com. his literally the richest man on earth right now. the president for months has been publicly attacking "the washington post" and the connection between "the washington post" and amazon through the paper's owner, jeff bezos. the president has been blunt about this in his own o
