susan? susan: benjamin hall, amman, jordan.nthaller of the foreign relations committee. iran still denying fact it may have been one of their surface-to-air craft missiles and refusing to hand over the black boxes. as you hear from the pentagon and various intelligence sources saying iran may have inadvertently shot down the plane. >> i don't want to speculate but this shows you what we're dealing with. that is a country that is not good at symmetric warfare. they might be good with asymmetric warfare, planting roadside bombs, storing embassies in the guise of shia militia groups, when it comes to actual battle with the united states, shows you how unprepared they would be, the kind of a force with a symmetric battle. susan: what do you think of the democrats reaction? because tonight on the house floor they passed this non-binding, mostly symbolic war powers resolution that would limit what president trump can do further with iran without congressional approval? >> i think this is absolutely disgusting. i heard some people say

susan: he died a hero.t about that day would allow anyone to describe his particular decisions and actions as especially heroic? david: because of the nature of the rescue mission he was flying, there are many witnesses to what happened. his job was, on that day, to fly with a whole group of other helicopters and fixed wing aircraft to rescue a group of special operations commandos who were under attack in cambodia by the north vietnamese. they had radioed to their team that they were hours away from being overrun, so the american military group of helicopters arrived on the site to rescue them on the ground in the mountainous area of cambodia where they were. because these commandos were not able to get to the landing zone very quickly, alternately, the ultimately, the mission commander on that flight was jim lake, michael's good friend, and he made the decision to return to base back at khartoum to refuel and he said you stay on site here as long as you can, as long as your fuel holds out. we are going to

susan: so marcus's experience send him where?avid: marcus decided not to become a helicopter pilot. and game a year as was the -- he served in vietnam for a year as was the obligation of draftees. and he stayed safe. and he did hi job and he came home. but the time the war was behind him, michael was still training to be a helicopter pilot. susan: he flew the huey helicopter. what was his role on the vietnam war? david: well, for anyone who lived through the vietnam war at any level, the heli is always -- the huey was always known as slick because the helicopter he flew there were no guns visible. it looked like a heli and no gun ship. that was the ubiquitous level of the war. helicopters were used to transport soldiers quickly andy -- and efficiently to wherever the fighting was because this was not a war of territory. military leaders would select the locations would where they would have battles. and then they would move large numbers of troops very quickly in these helicopters to the site of the battle where ever it was in so

susan: sounds exceedingly logical.avid: almost immediately after he enlisted his best friend marcus was drafted. in some ways, simply adding some credibility to the decision that michael made. susan: so marcus is more experience sent him where? david: marcus decided not to become a helicopter pilot. but just to accept the draft. andecame a combat engineer served a year as was the , obligation of draftees. and he stayed safe. and he did his job and he came home. but the time the war was behind him, michael was still training to be a helicopter pilot. susan: what was his role on the vietnam war? david: well, for anyone who lived through the vietnam war at any level, the huey is always known as slick because the helicopter he flew there were no guns visible. it looked like a huey and no gun ship. that was the ubiquitous level of the war. helicopters were used to transport soldiers quickly andy efficiently to wherever the fighting was because this was not a war of territory. military leaders would select the locations woul

susan: wow.tuart: was that a foolish move in your opinion, dennis. >> no, i think that is very wise move. i trade for my own account. i have my money at risk all the time. i've been long stocks last month 1/2, two months. i got short a little bit, sold a few hedges on thursday and friday. maybe i have to cover a few of those. i did essentially same thing you did. i did it in broader term. did i cut back 25% what i had been long. that is what i have done. that is always you have done. i don't think that is bad thing. i think that is very wise. stuart: come to you for advise where to put the cash. president will sign phase one of the china trade deal january 15th. global markets reacting very nicely to this. is china trade news part of today's rally, dennis, real fast, please? >> i suppose tech that probably is. public doesn't follow trade numbers as much we do in the market. the fact it is getting public participation, public awareness is probably one of the reasons. the other reason there is net

but susan would not budge. years go by. we're not sure of the timing or how it was coordinated, but in 1839 as ann bell's freedom suit has sort of stalled in the courts, gerard t. greenfield decides to sell james ash. sudden sale. if he can execute the sale, maybe he can get around the provisions in that 1824 will. so in 1839, in december, just like daniel bell, james ash is seized, taken to the yellow house and he's potentially going to be sold south. so this is the lawsuit that ash brings against william h. williams. he's at the yellow house and he's being held there. james ash files his freedom suit against william h. williams. this is the case that will go to the supreme court and tawney's decision is a pre curser for dred scott. what does ash argue? what does williams argue? what does tawney decide? ash argued the terms of the will had to be followed. there was an old principle in law that the intent of the will needs to be carried out. that was ash's position. the intent of the will was that, if he were sold, he shoul

susan: he makes $35 million now. stuart: does he? susan: yeah.r elsewhere, they will pay him a lot of money, i suspect. stuart: more than $35 million is a lot of money, true. better have a quick check of ibm. their chief executive, ginny rometty announced she's stepping down. she's been in that role for eight years. she will be replaced by one of ibm's top cloud people. that takes place on april 6th. i kind of hinted at this some time ago. watch this. ibm going straight down. their turnaround is not going well. she's been running the company for, what, seven years. we will ask if this is the time for new leadership. that was october of last year. as of right now, she is out. got it. >>> new numbers from one specific housing market. the median price of a single family home rose 75% in the last five years. now, i will repeat that. that is extraordinary. we've got a location, location is everything in real estate, where a single family home, the average has gone from up 75% in five years. take a guess where this might be. i'll tell you now, we've go

that is susan. of course there is no one better to interview susan rice then susan page. we have a lot of susan's here today. [no audio] >> the award-winning bureau chief of usa today, she has covered six administrations and reported from six continents and dozens of foreign countries. an author herself, she is about nancyur book pelosi. please help me welcome susan rice sensors susan page. [laughter] >> thank you. i'll never been in a room with so many women who have name cards that have ambassador before their name. [laughter] >> are not going to criticize the fact that the subtitle seems to end with a preposition. [laughter] >> my story of the things worth fighting for. it is at least understandable, isn't it? things forcovet the which they are worth fighting. [laughter] >> possibly not. -- also before he got a questions, i would like to note that this would make an excellent christmas gift. i think they are going to be for sale afterwards. >> they are for sale. appropriate for people who care about politics, democrats, republicans, women, maybe also men. the monograph

in maine, you have longtime incumbent susan collins who is iconic in the state. she is like joe manchin in west virginia. the state has changed but that person is so well regarded as someone who delivers for the state, viewed as an independent. in a strong incumbent tough state. colorado, also a tough state. also atough as main, but tough state. another incumbent who is incredibly strong, though not as well-known, cory gardner. great campaigner, good legislative record against a well known incumbent who has a good brand. is problem with hickenlooper that he has not been tested in a long time and you saw his performance as a presidential candidate outside of colorado, it turned into a dismal performance. that is a race where i see a tough state. candidate as he appears in john hickenlooper, so how do you game that out? i still like where we set. based on the terrain, those are the two i would be most concerned about. jacqueline: susan collins caston him popular vote to bert -- confirm brett kavanaugh. sweeps concerned if she the impeachment under the rug, votes fo

jacqueline: susan collins casted an unpopular vote to confirm brett kavanaugh. are you concerned if she sweeps the impeachment under the rug, votes for the president's acquittal and not support calling witnesses, it will be more problematic for an already competitive race? steven: i'll be interested to see -- at some point, she will have to cast complex votes on processes as well as acquittal itself. i think at the end of the day, the real battle in maine -- and i think it is a battle she is well-suited to win, is still the same susan we have always known. someone who at her core is independent-minded, moderate, fights for her state, fights for her kitchen-table issues, like diabetes and health care and jobs, so she's that person or is she somehow changed to someone else? i think at the end of the day, there will be a lot of evidence -- we have seen it in advertising from the campaign, that she is the susan collins people have long voted for. i think it is interesting that very few people in maine, whenever i go up there, they never call her senator collins. the

i love susan rice, okay? i can tell you that susan rice and i had it out on a number of different occasions. >> we have witnesses. [laughing] >> it's true. but the point is let's have it out. these are hard questions we have to resolve, and we should make sure that in the christian of progressives, the tradition of taking on big challenges -- in the tradition of progressive -- that meets both inside the government, having a robust inter-agency process. apparently now they don't have many interagency meetings because against two substantive and too spicy. we should be comfortable. the other thing is we should make sure we recognize congress has congressional responsibilities embedded in article one. i love article to not but i used to like article one. the fact is that our people who have responsibility under each of those articles that need to carry them out. you shouldn't hide from them. you should engage them. the same time we should be engaging opportunities for gathering information, ideas, from each othe

susan li in cupertino, california, with the story. susan. susan: there are two suppliers in the epicenter and two in a city close to shanghai. the chinese government said affected areas need to close factories up until february 9th. might go beyond that. those days are critical to complex supply chain like apple the according to reports, they assemble 50% of their iphones in the country. what about consumer demand for apple goods? they can't leave their houses. there is not a lot of transport. does that dent seals forecast in the future. just about a year ago we saw tim cook in their earnings in january having to explain why chinese demand was slowing. that impacted apple shares. a year from now, 12 months on in 2020 he will explain to us, maybe they will see growth once again in their second largest market but looks like all indications are iphone 11 sales are selling well especially during the all-important holiday period. wearables, that explosive growth especially with airpod pros, hard to find under the christmas tree, will that be enou

it is probably the case that mary bell try to negotiate with susan armistead, but susan armistead would not budge. years go by. we are not sure of the timing or how it was coordinated, but in 1839, ann bell's suit against gerard greenfield had stalled, that gerard greenfield decides to sell james ash. if he can execute the sudden sale, maybe he can get around the provisions in the 1824 will. james ash is seized, taken to the yellow house, and potentially is going to be sold south. this is the lawsuit that ash brings against william h williams. he is at the yellow house and he is being held there, and james ash filed his suit against william h williams, and this is the case that will go to the supreme court and taney's decision is a precursor for dred scott. what does ash argue and what does williams argue and what does taney decide? ash argued that the will, but terms of the will had to be followed. there is an old principal and law that the intent of the will needs to be carried out. in a jury trial, the jury agreed and awarded ash his freedom. a month later, ann bell wins her freedom

susan: right.one knows and predicts the cheaper iphone is coming to market in the spring of this year. bloomberg now reporting that suppliers are getting into actions to start building it and it should be released sometime possibly in the spring but we know production has kicked off next month or will kick off next month. they have the contract for it. this cheaper iphone is basically going to look like a 2017 iphone 8, meaning no biometric face i.d., more touch i.d., it will have a 4.7 inch screen. that usually sells -- right now the iphone 8 sells for $449. a cheaper iphone called the se in 2016 sold for $399. the iphone 11 sells for $1,000 plus. you know, cheaper iphones really worked for apple because in 2013, they launched the 5c. that wasn't a big hit. however, pricing is a problem in emerging economies like india and china. stuart: why not compete in the low end market in some places -- >> why not? stuart: why not? susan: in 2013, the 5c didn't work because apple is seen as a premium brand a

susan. susan: initially cleared a photo shoot at the vigil 2019 of the show.is has back, to the human that his phone was hacked. in order to be hacked by the sound saudi government. [inaudible conversation] now here has saudi arabia's reaction. they are still denying it. >> all i can say to the allegations that they are completely untrue. they are really based on information that has not complete. there has no real evidence that we can say. therefore, we think it has not a serious accusation at all. susan: they sent a link, in apparently that link was actually had malware on it. when it was extracting in tracking his mobile phones. stuart: on the downside, there has more. down about a hundred points for the dow, seven for the s&p, ninth in nasdaq, downside. tesla, that's done an amazing run. this calendar year, up to 563 roughly, in the next guest says it's going to $800 a share. when the timeframe he has our guest next. you met on an app. delete it. why? he's the one. gesundheit. [sneezes] i see something else... a star... with three points. you're in a... me

susan: 9:19 p.m.ht, we have the rocket owned by spacex and elon musk set to take 60 satellites into space. it looks like right now, the probability is 10% of it being scrubbed. so it's all systems go for this launch being overseen by the newest branch of military, the sixth in the space force, part of of course president trump's pentagon budget for this year. it's exciting, isn't it? spacex says they want to get around 12,000 of these satellites into space by the year 2024. ashley: wow. susan: cape canaveral. stuart: i like the sound of that. this market is coming back. now we are down 120. 28,500. that's the level on this, day two of the reaction to the suleimani killing. >>> price of oil, we've got now at $63.53. the national average for a price of gas, that's holding steady despite what's going on in the persian gulf. price of gas this morning is around $2.58 as a national average. is it going to go up? we will discuss that next. what a time to be alive. the world is customized to you. built for yo

susan: right.by casey affleck the streamers now with their movies like "the irishman," one has to be on big screen and limited release. according to robert de niro and martin scorsese, if it is not on the big screen, you're making television. stuart: okay. steven is back with us, cb 42 managing partners. welcome back to the show. in your estimation, you have sign the oscar nominations. netflix got 24, seems streamers, netflix did quite well out of this? >> they did. this has been a focus for netflix the past few years of the at the end. day they want to look, prove to a-list directors and a-list actors you can still work with us and be oscar worthy. what they did with "roma" last year, they spent four times the budget of the film, oscar marketing, getting it up for awards if you like. all about they want a-list folks to work with them, so they can produce better content to get more people watching. stuart: they're really making a lot of progress, aren't they? seems to me streamers, netflix and amaz

if you are cory gardner, if you are susan collins, we saw susan collins was in the middle of some ofhe discussions yesterday that caused some of the tweaks to mcconnell's initial proposal. the things that he had put forward the previous night in the middle of the night to try to compress and deviate from the clinton rules. some of those things got changed yesterday and at least not in a huge way, but in ways where democrats won some small victories and i think this he won them largely because they were able to put pressure on people like susan collins who recognized that the president's team and mitch mcconnell were leading them into what is going to be if not a trap, is going to be not a great set of political circumstances for them. i think that it's great, garrett, i think, said the great drama here is now -- you know, we always knew that the witness votes were going to be the drama, but if you look at the way in which the house managers handled themselves and you look at the way the white house lawyers did in terms of competence and with a seeming kind of numbness or mindness to

susan: the vietnam story begins in the 1950's with harry truman.f you wouldn't mind i would like you to walk our audience through each of the vietnam era presidents involvement with that conflict. so what was truman's approach to it? >> so harry truman was confronted like all of his successors with the problem of expansion of communism. there was in the 19 ooh's, the very real belief that communism was the great toxic influence in world. and that it must be contained the way a virus is contained. his great concerns were eastern europe out of the soviet unit yofpble and in asia. and the advance throughout indo china that region where communism could expand through china. and the strategy that he developed was called containment. it was not to couldn't confront an active war but to go actively creating lives an everything that goes with war. but to try to continue the vns of this, this really toxic political development, that was een to be a threat to american democracy. so containment was his tragedy. his goal was to do as little as he had to withou

details, susan. susan: rose by 10% the daily trading limit in shanghai.mask makers jumping as well. overall market decline a big selloff in shanghai, down 2%. hong kong hang seng index was down. reminiscent what happened 2002, mostly affected hong kong, killed 800 people. this time the virus killed 6, but spreading around the chinese epicenter of it. we're talking about outside of china, thailand, japan, south korea. airlines are keeping close eye on travelers this time of year. stuart: financial impact from the coronavirus. >> absolutely. stuart: breaking news after this week, the supreme court declined to fast track consideration whether hear democrat representatives, state appeals in defense of obamacare. explain that to me. ashley: what really means. if you remember a judge in texas ruled the individual mandate was not constitutional. therefore invalidated all of obamacare. that got appealed to the fifth circuit court of appeals who agreed, the individual mandate was indeed not constitutional but refused to take it a step further, saying it would wipe

ladies and gentlemen, susan cheever. [applause] susan: thanks for coming. so, it's a great honor to be here at a store that is the center of the literary universe in this country, if not the world. i'm just going to talk about this book a little bit and read three short sections from it and hope that it somehow informs you and intrigues you at the same time. one of the great privileges of being a writer is that we get to make history come alive which is really fun. we get to take the pictures off the wall and make them dance and make them eat and make them drink and make them fall in and out of love with each other. we can notice that ulysses s. grant was a short man at man that adored his wife or that alexander hamilton hated drinking because his father was a trunk who took offense left -- too often left him with his mother or that henry david thoreau was a favorite teacher and we can include not just the moment as events which happened and people in history books but also the texture of their everyday lives. did their shoes hurt, how were they feeling abo

susan, it's beyond that as well. how are ways that we can smooth out he was government attention to this so that there aren't changes and between the administration woman certainly congresspeople retire, there is a good handoff and a smooth narrative that grows. >> and it is the victims of agent orange relief that was really introduced by barbara lee. you see legislation to help educate people that this struggle continues, and that this is only one of the issues that continues from all those years ago of the united states intervention in southeast asia. so yes, we love support for that legislation and i'm curious how many of you have family or friends that have had illnesses related to agent orange? >> just take a look. it's extraordinary. every time we go someplace and speak, someone comes up to us and says we know somebody, so part of this legislation is to take care of those that have been harmed. i also want to say, the other part of our responsibility is to stop future, that is a long lasting legacy that i think

susan: she did. says the dow soars, wages don't, inequality in a nutshell and then suffered some blowback because people think do you know economics 101? we are looking at the best jobs market in 50 years, both in supply and demand. [ speaking simultaneously ] stuart: for the lowest paid people, wages are riesing faste than any other group. she should watch this program. ashley: not going happen. stuart: move on, please. megxit. you can't get away from it. the queen agrees to a transition period. tell me more. ashley: very grandmotherly statement, not as formal as it normally is for her majesty. let me give you this part of the statement. she says although we would have preferred them to remain full-time working members of the royal family, we respect and understand their wish to live a more independent life. how is that going to happen, i don't know. it has therefore been agreed there will be a period of transition in which the sussexes will spend time in canada and the uk. stuart: got that. ashley:

i'm susan del percio, we're dealing with a little technical issue.n in washington, d.c., hopefully we'll have yasmin and geoff back with us. in the meantime, i would like to bring in editor at "buzzfeed" hayes browne. what are your take aways after last night's closing. >> after a long 24 hours, and three days, the house managers made the best case they can with the amount of evidence they were able to get from the white house and the testimony they had. i think that in their closing, they are making the point that, yes, we have all of this evidence that the president committed abuse of power, that the president has obstructed congress, not just the house but the senate now, and that in this appeal that adam schiff had to the various senators in the room to actually take up the mantle of a jury, to actually take up their job, and actually try and get the white house and executive branch writ large to turn over more evidence, was a compelling one. in his closing, adam schiff mentioned a cbs report that said the white house threatened republican senato

susan: yes i know.i take you down memory lane, bought my first house in san francisco, 1977, 78, travel 1/2%. i thought it was a fabulous rate -- 12 1/2%. in those rates you paid double-digit on your mortgage. it went up to 16% some people paid in the early 1980s. susan: possibly breaking three percent. stuart: 15 year fixed. you know exactly what the monthly payment is the next 15 years. you pay 3% interest. i call that pretty good. i really would. that should stimulate the housing market. there is not many homes for sale. that is a problem right there. across the board we have a market selloff. it is not huge, it is a market selloff. this is because of the virus. the virus the main threat investors see out there. 170 deaths. 7100 cases in china. 88 cases outside of china. 16 airlines canceling flights in and out of china. a quarantining of those people continues. and, let's see what else we got? then we've got, got to talk about the economy. we've got gdp report this morning that shows we're expanding

susan delpercio and jonathan altar is a columnist for ""the daily beast."" he's the author of the center holds obama and its enemies. why do you find that funny that i'm introducing your book here? >> it's kind of an old book. that's great. i love that it's still getting a plug and there's a lot about foreign policy in there in iraq. >> douglas, i want to start with you. give us your reaction with what's taking place overnight in iraq and what you feel as if is the biggest threat right now. >> really quickly, we just need to distinguish between what's happening next to the embassy and what's been happening in iraq the last three months. we have two groups we're calling protesters. we've had some very, you know, antiiranian, anticorruption pro government accountability protesting for three months now. they're waiving iraqi flags. they're iraqi nationalists. then we have this group sitting there next to the embassy. they're waiving yellow flags. they see themselves as part of the resistance along with the iranians. two very different groups. it appears though

have a long income at susan collins was kind of iconic, kind of like joe mansion in west virginia. the state has changed but the person is a so well regarded as someone who delivers for the state. so you have a strong incumbent in a tough state. state,o, also a tough maybe not as tough as main, but you have another income and that i think is strong but not as well-known, cory gardner. a great campaigner, great legislative worker, against a well-known x incumbent john hickenlooper, who has a great brand. the problem with hickenlooper, he's not contested in a long time if you saw his performance as a presidential candidate, outside the natural habitat of colorado. it was a dismal performance. that's a race where i see a tough state, it incumbent on our side, probably not as strong as he appears on the surface in john hickenlooper. i still like where we sit. those would be there too, based on the terrain, i would be most concerned about. cast an collins unpopular vote for brett kavanaugh. sheyou concerned that if tries to sweep impeachment under the rug and not to support calling witn

susan: there's a lot of opportunity in all of them. are able to find some opportunities where the market has gotten ahead of itself on how bad it could be. the consumer is changing their pattern, understanding how and where they spin is important and in financials, we continue to see mergers happening, strategic changes happening, and we have regional banks looking to consolidate and get scaled to be more efficient operators, and there's opportunity there in the u.s. market. tradingyou have stocks on a forward pe basis. are we fully valued at these levels? susan: when we look at 20 times, we have to compare that to other multiples that we have seen over history. the problem is we haven't had a backdrop like this in history before. even how low interest rates are, i don't really see a promising alternative for investors to turn to that is different, other than u.s. equities and certainly global equities. i'm biased because i focus on the u.s. market. that's where we prefer to invest on our u.s. funds. finding value on still. when you ha

susan collins has indicated she is for witnesses.mney from utah indicated he is for witnesses so if the breakdown is 53-47 that gets you to 51. lisa murkowski from alaska says she will think about it. worst-case scenario 50/50. a tie vote loses in the senate. we don't think there will be a vote to extend this trial. tomorrow afternoon the coming at 1:00, four hours of deliberations and then goods the gateway vote and we think we know how it will go in the question is they finish up tomorrow night. there could be additional deliberations after that, you won't have witnesses, nobody knows. i should point out in the senate mitch mcconnell has the first right, chief justice john roberts will recognize him first and then they moved to dismiss or call final votes on both articles of impeachment and if they vote late tomorrow night this important sometimes on capitol hill you strike when the iron is hot. saturday or next week or something, you never know when a new variable will come in and people want -- those loyal to the president wants

either way the risk of conflict increases. >> susan rice, former u.n.onal security advisor and the author of "tough love my story of the things worth fighting for," thank you for making the time to be here. >> thank you so much, rachel. >> we'll be right back. stay with us. man: sneezes skip to the good part with alka-seltzer plus. now with 25% more concentrated power. nothing works faster for powerful cold relief. oh, what a relief it is! so fast! i am totally blind. and non-24 can throw my days and nights out of sync, keeping me from the things i love to do. talk to your doctor, and call 844-214-2424. you may have gingivitis. when you brush, and the clock could be ticking towards bad breath, receding gums, and possibly... toh loss. help turn back the clock on gingivitis with parodontax. leave bleeding gums behind. parodontax. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. i wish i could shake your hand. granted. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ when youyou spend lessfair, and get way

because even if susan collins made that last vote 52-48 versus 53-47 they still need 51 -- >> here's the relevant witness now you vote him down -- >> actually i think that i might have misheard. i think that if the chief justice were to rule if this amendment were to pass then the person would be subpoenaed unless the senate votes to say no and given that point it would be much harder for the susan collins and mitt romneys of the world to say now the chief justice said this person is well and good -- >> now there's something else, now the chief justice has -- >> on top of everything else this was a really clever move. it sounded like senator van holland from maryland's amendment. it basically puts all the republicans on record voting against the chief justice who was appointed by george w. bush, a republican who's a pillar of integrity. everyone agrees whether they agree with his decisions or not is an honest man. so this cover-up ux tended into forcing them to vote against the chief justice. that's the message that will go out there. it's 1:30 in the morning so i don't know how many

but what exactly does susan collins mean here? and what will the majority leader mitch mcconnell do about it? back with us, alex burns and tolu toluse. saying i think it's premature to decide who should be seen providing we get the answers to the questions we senators can submit to both sides. soy would submit we didn't see that here. but that's incredible susan collins-ness there. >> like threading the needle. >> because she says she's unhappy with mitch mcconnell saying he's coordinating with the white house. she's saying she wants witnesses, but she's also basically saying she wants the trial to start without any agreement on witnesses. she doesn't know about witnesses until she hears the presentations from both sides which is what, by the way, mitch mcconnell is asking for. how do you see it? >> well, i would say that susan collins is doing as you said what she often does which is straddling the fence. she is trying to placate both sides to a certain extent. you heard her say in those comments multiple times, you know, both si

either way the risk of conflict increases. >> susan rice, former u.n.and national security advisor and the author of "tough love my story of the things worth fighting for," thank you for making the time to be here. >> thank you so much, rachel. >> we'll be right back. stay with us. >>> all right, that is going to do it for us tonight. we'll see you again monday where i am here to tell you now we are going to be joined live on set by massachusetts senator and democratic presidential contender elizabeth warren. she will be here in studio with me on monday night. monday night right here i will see you then. now it's time for the "last now it's time for the "last >> now it is time for the last word. >> rachel, a lot of remarkable information in your show. what stuck with me is over my holidays, my daughter asked me to go to "little women." i demured. now i'm no trouble. >> if you want me to take her, i will not. i did it once. >> tonight, we are digging into a white house under extreme stress over the escalations of iran to the possibilities of impeach. loo

put your hands together for tom healy and susan rice. [applause] >> there is a lot of love in this room susan. >> thank you for coming out everyone. [applause] tom, thank you for doing this. >> thank you for coming to miami they arrived half an hour ago. [laughter] she made an entrance. i would set it up why is a poet introducing a diplomat but that is because we are friends and we have been with our spouses for a long time now. and actually i wanted to start by taking us back almost ten or 11 years ago to something that was red for president obama's inauguration and she writes we encounter each other with that whisper and that is love. to talk to us about toughness and love. >> it is how my parents raised me my husband and i have tried to raise our kids and that is how i try to serve our country. with someone you love they are not doing what they are supposed to do if you care you will tell them and to bring them to a better place and that has been so valuable to me professionally and personally but the back story with full disclosure i

either way the risk of conflict increases. >> susan rice, former u.n. ambassador and national security advisor and the author of "tough love my story of the things worth fighting for," thank you for making the time to be here. >> thank you so much, rachel. >> we'll be right back. stay with us. , rachel >> we'll be right back stay with us i'm not hungry! you're having one more bite! no! one more bite! ♪ kraft. for the win win. saturpain happens. aleve it. aleve is proven stronger and longer on pain than tylenol. when pain happens, aleve it. all day strong. >>> all right, that is going to do it for us tonight. we'll see you again monday where i am here to tell you now we are going to be joined live on set by massachusetts senator and democratic presidential contender elizabeth warren. she will be here in studio with me on monday night. monday night right here i will see you then. now it's time for the "last word" where ali velshi is in for lawrence tonight. >> rachel, there was a lot of remarkable information in your show, but the only thing that stuck wi

susan rice will be joining us live in just a moment, stay with us.moment, stay with us >>> george w. bush was president, the year 2007. general stanley mccrystal was then the head of u.s. special forces and he had a shot. this is how he tells it. quote, i'd become accustomed to making tough choices but on a january night in 2007 the choice was particularly tricky. whether or not to attack a convoy that included qassem soleimani, the head of iran's elite quds force. there was good reason to eliminate soleimani at the time. iran made bomb at his command were killing americans. but to avoid a fire fight and the contentious politics that would follow i decided we should monitor the caravan and not strike immediately. by the time the convoy had reached soleimani had slipped away into the darkness. it was 2007. other presidents, other u.s. military commanders under other u.s. presidents have since had their own chance to take that same shot. but every president who's had that opportunity has decide it was in america's best interest not to take it. every pr

so there are several things that strike me, when you look at what's happening now, number one, susanollins, it is ridiculous. everyone knows she's trying to come up with an excuse one way or another. after what lev parnas said with rachel maddow it goes beyond bolton saying i don't want to be involved with giuliani's drug deal. it has gone beyond a drug deal. you might have thought initially that this was dime boys on the corner, now you see this is an international enterprise of crime, corruption, bribery. that's something people will be concerned with. unlike a real jury which is sometimes sequestered or doesn't know anything, these jurors will be able to come out after every day, say you know what, today would have worked better with witnesses. there will still be reporters doing investigations and coverage. if mitch mcconnell thinks he can conduct a trial where there will be information the public hears about that he is not putting in the trial, he undermines the process. the purple state republicans, cory gardners, susan collins, people concerned about their integrity want witne

i think it allows more americans who think about this to understand just as susan was saying, it was not at all the cold war would end as it did. the cold war ended in 1991 on terms that harry truman and all these other cold war presidents could only have dreamt of. and one of the central reasons that happened, every cold war president made a contribution, but, you know, i think we were protected by god when george h.w. bush was president during the last years of gorbachev because if i went back through time and i was looking for qualities in a president that will turn out to be important, i would want someone with the human qualities and the diplomatic skill to build a relationship with gorbachev so that gorbachev could do things like open the berlin wall and allow the eastern european satellites to go and later on to join nato in a way that he did not feel that george h.w. bush would make fun of them or, you know, embarrass him in certain ways. and so that we now see i think much more clearly how lucky we were to have him as president. and the other thing i'll say, and i want to as

susan: they are wrong.20 trial starts minutes and regardless of whether it is a crime, they have to have a trial. david: is it dangerous for the republicans to come across condoning what the president did? to call a foreign head of state and sake help me in my election. rick: it is impossible to know the political ramifications of impeachment. republicans thought they had a winner with bill clinton and it turned out to be a disaster for the republican party and they paid a price politically for almost a decade. it would be something i would be worried about if i was a democrat. here we are in exactly the same position the republicans were with clinton, and it was a disaster for them. why do i think this will work out well for me, especially considering the odds are president trump walks away virtually a winner. his strategy in theory of i am a winner and you will be able to mark up another i am a winner task. guys like cory gardner and susan collins, people up for election, it is hard to poll, will people v

like susan collins is going to come in and save the day. >> she's like john bolton. the female john bolton. >> another rorschach test. but i think it will be difficult. you know, when it comes to something like impeaching the president of the united states, it's very different than being somebody who is maybe a critic or dissents on something versus actually playing a role in trying to impeach the president of your own party. so i know there's a lot of hope that there are a few republicans that would be willing to do that, but i think that i'm not holding my breath. and i think that at the same time a trial without witnesses isn't much of a trial. so it is pretty outrageous that mitch mcconnell is so closed off to this idea and that susan collins has to be doing this in the first place. >> carrie, how does it actually work? the president says he wants to exert executive privilege over john bolton. i know you're saying it's this weird blanket thing or unprecedented blanket privilege. if it was in normal times and it was on certain things, would the president and bolto

susan: long one, too. two and a half hours, basically justifying why he jumped bail in japan and saying if i stayed in japan, i would have died there. listen. >> i did not escape justice. i fled injustice. persecution, political persecution. susan: he went through the mistreatment he suffered at the hands of the japanese authorities after being arrested in november 2018, saying he was only allowed to shower twice a week, eight hours of daily interrogation without a lawyer present, no contact with his wife for nine months and restricted access to prescription drugs. but despite all that, he didn't tell us how he escaped from japan. >> you know there have been many stories about how i escaped and we heard a lot of things which are contradictory. obviously i'm not going to come back to it. susan: there was new video that emerged today showing his private jet that landed in istanbul's ataturk airport en route to beirut, lebanon where he held that press conference but ghosn saying he was part of a systemic plot

, sorry, susan. just in case -- manu raju is gone. help me with this, susan. the idea if it turns out 50/50 on witnesses, what happens? because the vp can't vote as the president of the senate. can the chief justice vote? what do they do if it's 50/50? >> as the presiding officer, presumably, he would have that ability. not only that, there is a lot of curiosity. there is presumably such a strong interest in the constitution in allowing the senate and the house to exercise their constitutional power to impeach and try the president. you know, you could imagine that roberts might feel there is a strong case. a lot of people would be fascinated. as you know, chief justice renquisdt did not -- >> he was playing poker. >> so far, it caused a great star when chief justice roberts, last night, reproved both sides to get their act together and not be so inflammatory and partisan. but that's hardly a substantive intervention in the case. that would be making, you know, basically constitutional history. >> it

senator susan collins. we asked them, do they want susan collins, yes or no, to vote for witnesses in the impeachment trial? well, we got a split decision among the people, an indication that no matter what susan collins ends up doing she will have a group of republicans in the state who are not happy about it but we talked with two of the people, two of the committee members, and they gave us an expression that exemplified their divide, listen. >> do you think senator collins should vote yes or no about allowing witnesses in this impeachment trial? >> i think she should definitely vote yes. >> do you think senator susan collins should vote yes or no on allowing witnesses in the impeachment trial. >> no. best case scenario would be to have a real trial where everybody brings witnesses and find out what happened, make it a real search for the truth. >> it's not susan collins' job to repair what the democrats messed up in the house. >> actually, my view is true to republican values. >> are you curious what jo

go ahead, susan. susan: concerns going through the straight of hormuz.d any travel or shipping through the area. that is still in place until 1600 saudi arabian time. that strait, accounts for about a third of the world oil shipments, we concentrate what is going on in the middle east, iran, et cetera. there is glut of oil on the world market. we got a lot of stuff in storage in america. >> we're responsible for it. stuart: it istookers, jeff flock. we love them. -- frackers. >> price goes down, the frackers don't make as much money. that is okay. they're still pumping. stuart: that is what we want. keep pumping, frackers. jeff flock, thanks a lot. rephrase that one day. get series. russia president vladmir putin is in the middle east. he met with syria's bashar al-assad yesterday. he is meeting turkey's erdogan today. mark sim noski, former defense department official, russia expert with us now. can you tell us what vladmir putin is up to? >> on a victory lap sincein the middle east. first visit since 2016 when he visited russian forces. he will showcas
