it focuses on george shultz, richard nixon, the commissioner, johnny walker's. next to the watergate break-in i think it is safe to say the enemies list is one of those famous things attached even if you have a fuzzy memory fo or yu are someone that was born after the resignation you are aware mixing had an enemies list at something that comes up in pop culture enough where people know about it. there are the high-ranking contributors and the product was never carried out. they do individual audits and there were nixon operatives embedded that were able to get certain things done and i do not want to romanticize the history of the irs and its willingness to sometimes bend the rules. the larger projects involve hundreds of individual organizations whose only crime they did was to oppose the president in some way. that was never carried out. because in september of 1972 roughly about five or six weeks after the conversation i just read from come up with george schultz and the commissioner of the irs johnny walker's the republican from south carolina not someone yo

richard nixon did something in 1960 that was quite unusual in politics. you have to remember he refused to come forward and be a part of a coalition that wanted him to challenge the vote 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. >> robert mary? >> i think that's absolutely right. nixon did decline to challenge those vote questions. i think there was some stealing of the vote that took place in illinois and chicago under the machine of mayor daley. 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 learn don johnson, he never said, 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 flawed man in some significant ways. but in these two instances, i think he showed some significant -- >> i want you to watch, this is richard ni

the tape collections are 700 hours o, sizable pales in comparison to richard nixon.so because we have access to richard nixon and there was a fairly unique personality compared to other presidents, you can't help but try to guess what is the state of mind. what i will say is richar richan did in fact well during moments of the crisis. you could see this during the days following the invasion of cambodia you could see it in hr haldeman's thigh areas when he's concerned for the president's well-being, and you can see it later on. i'm going to talk about a few moments but there are some are usually nixon is having some kind of a breakdown. the other that comes to mind is the war. for the six to 12 hour period henry kissinger is telling people he's been charged in october 1973. you can hear nixon's speeches were when hr haldeman and john ehrlichman resign. it didn't take much for his speech to slur i'm kind of dancing around the main question here. it's quite concerning that it's dangerously close to what you read from woodward and bernstein in the mid-70s in terms of ha

that would have been an impeachment count against richard nixon if richard nixon did that. because the congress that moved against richard nixon had not lost its collective mind and stopped caring about the rule of law. donald trump has publicly dangled a pardon in front of paul manafort saying he's thinking about it. it's not off the table. the president is obviously hoping that paul manafort dudoe not tell robert mueller anything incriminating he knows about donald trump. count 9 of article i of the impeachment articles against president nixon said the president should be impeached from office for quote, endeavoring to cause prospective defends and individuals duly tried and convicted to expect favored treatment and consideration in return for their silence or false testimony. donald trump is guilty of that beyond a reasonable doubt. and so the question is has america lost its mind? has america lost its legal mind, as the united states congress lost its mind? that is what donald trump is counting on, that he has driven america and the congress crazy to the point he can co

right now we are following richard whom i met on the first day of the journey.ted us into his community to speak with a group of ewe elders. to mark our arrival, they were saying prayers and pouring libation to their gods. but they believe if you offend the gods, they can bring misfortune. i would like to know if there has ever been human sacrifice. he is talking about trokosi, where you are banished from the community to pay for the crimes of your family. another elder tells me that two of her relatives were sent to the shrine. given this fear of punishment from the gods, i can understand why the trokosi practice has survived for over 300 years. but for me, life in the shrine meant no life at all. each day, i was walking at 5am, and sent to fetch water. i had to carry heavy buckets on my head. it was hard, physical work for a child. i was made to sweep the compound and work long hours on the farm. i wasn‘t allowed to play, or even go to school. i was in total isolation. 0n the campus of the university of ghana, i am meeting up with dr robert ame and reverend wa

i'm richard lui in new york at nbc headquarters. 7:00 in the east, 4:00 in the west. here's what's happening on this day for you. shutdown, day number eight. the president threatening to close the border at mexico while democrats dig in their heels. new indications of how this could play out in 2019. >>> done. the president's personal attorney on why robber mueller should not expect more written answers from the president. >>> plus, plans canceled. the president says no to something near and dear to his heart. >>> but we look at the partial government shutdown as it enters its eighth day with 800,000 workers either furloughed or working without pay so far. we heard vice president pence make a reduced offer last saturday and senate majority leader chuck schumer rew e jekded i. what we heard is the amount offered. also in the last 24 hours president trump threatening to close the southern border entirely if democrats do not agree to fund the wall. >> i don't think he can do this even if he wanted to. it probably violated nafta. i don't think he'll have much if any suppo

commissioner richards? >> commissioner richards: i agree with commissioner moore, it doesn't pass the densification test for me. there is an agreement, i'm loathe to step in and require additional things. >> i would have liked to have seen another unit. but having an agreement from not one, not two, but three requesters is valuable, so i also don't want to rock the boat. >> president hillis: i think it's interesting to note. expanding two-unit buildings is not allowed, the only reason it's before us is the neighbors are okay with the expansion. when you come to remodel a two-unit building you should do three units, that's what i would be comfortable doing, but just because it's a d.r. in front of us, we'll make the requirement. >> if the d.r. had merit, i would change my mind. >> president hillis: approve the project as proposed with modifications presented to us and we'll used document? >> second. >> thank you, on that motion to take d.r. and approve the project as modified, and outlined in the private agr

>> well, for all the reasons richard described is why i think our nation is at risk right now.re was some comfort in having jim mattis, th secretary of defense, having john kelly as chief of staff, mike pompeo secretary of state, of having so stability within the oval office that could at least operate as check with this president. i think the only key here is going to be whether or not he's willing to appoint somebody as secretary of defense who believes in the principles that jim mattis espoused in his letter and that he was about and recognizing that that person would probably face the same kind of situation but at least uld provide the experience necessary to not only assure our allies but also assure the american people. and it's als going to take a recognition by this president that he can't simply tweet his way to foreign policy and national security decisions. he can't just stand back without talking to anybody and decide what he thinks is in the interest of th country. he's going to have to be more responsible. th idea of america first, very frankly, is not a policy. i

let's talk about this with richard johnson. richard a lecturer in u.s. politics and international relations at lancaster university. live this hour from lancaster, england. a pleasure to have you with us. let's start with the shutdown showdown over the border wall. you'll remember president trump said in his own words earlier that he would own this shutdown. he has flip-flopped on that, now blaming democrats. it's interesting, though, to look back at when mr. trump's predecessor was president, barack obama. and there was a tlaeft of a shutdown. private citizen trump had this to say. >> if indeed there is a shutdown of our government. >> well, if you say who gets fired, it always has to be the top. i mean, problems start from the top and they have to get solved from the top. and the president's the leader. and he's got to get everybody in a room and he's got to lead. >> it just comes down to these things that were stated by the u.s. president back then in 2013 and then most recently in the oval office. can the president sidestep his own words? >> yes, i m

richard white's director of the center for political military analysis and a senior fellow at the hudson institute and from moscow nicholai circle of assistant professor at the moscow state institute of foreign relations welcome to the program ibrahim let me start with you based on this tweet from u.s. president donald trump do you believe any kind of agreement about reconstruction in syria has actually been reached between trump and the saudis well this in fact their minds me with his statements that he was talking goal was about building a war with mexico and mexico will pay for it saw this is seems to be a pattern where he's volunteering others you know to finance them projects and this seems to be the case as well here because first of all we have not had any statements any comments from saudi arabia saudi arabia is not in a position. to finance our reconstruction reconstruction process in syria first of all because reconstruction of syria for saudi arabia means one major thing which is that a move all of the iranian influence from syria which is not going to happen because iran has
