dear ted, you're a good man. apologize for not responding to your note pof a couple -- note of a couple weeks ago. sit down and work out alaska lands compromise but it got into a channel where i must work and go through the whole markup process. i suspect we'll be working it in conference stage together. touch.eep in mo. another example of bipartisanship is senator stevens loved to bring people to alaska. i think alaska is such a vast two and a half times the size of texas. and most of our rural are only accessible by air or boat. don'tcause of that, they have running water, et cetera. so he thought it was important senators and representatives to alaska. here's actually a photo of in 1969 withens senator ted kennedy. pilot station, alaska. and given that it was 1969, no e-mail. phone service was spotty, as were telegrams. our photo person was able to of theown the daughter post master who is in the photo and ask her the story behind photograph. the daughter relayed that at the time, they had no idea that someone

but ted kennedy, i think ted kennedy, i'm a massachusetts guy and ted kennedy was when i was at the "boston globe," arguably my best source for about 15 years and i think ted kennedy was as we all know, one of the greatest snoring ever. they called him the lion of the senate. i think ted kennedy spent his 50 years in the senate not trying to emulate his brother, jack. because jack was a short-term senator and didn't make much of a set of waves when he was in the senate. i think ted kennedy spent those 50 years trying to be bobby. he so adored his brother, ted was a senior snorenator. ted kennedy gave bobby, he was the older and in the kennedy family. everything mattered who was the elder. and bobby kennedy got to choose his issues, he chose veet nam as his issue and ted kennedy looked to other issues. they adored one another. ted emulated bobby and when bobby died, ted kennedy for the rest of his life felt the pressure that i mentioned before, when one of the sons died, the mantle fell to the next one. i think ted kennedy never wanted to run for president, i don't think he especially

ted is going to talk about this. and the last talks i've given, when i say there's a real risk to the survival of our democracy, people don't say, well, that's too extreme. that's out there. i don't even see that as a possibility. but it really is when you -- itses trueing us to give -- truster to us give them school experiences that open lives' doors for them and i feel like we're not opening the doors and if too many people are in adulthood, feeling limited with what they can do feeling ill prepared, feeling alienated, things happen that we dent want to have happen. >> you decided to take this epic trip across the country. can you talk -- 200 some schools, thousand some meetings, all 50 states, and initially what was your mission and then how did it change during your travels? >> i'll tell a story. you think if you're going to do that kind of trip you have a mission. i said this is interesting to go -- the ted talk you mentioned was in north dakota, and it was kind of a random thing are was talking to a guy but iss

a i am standing close to ted. really a can i follow you volume around around, ted? you i'm just trying to stay and i will behind him at all times. you are i said, quite at you a have a scope on your rifle? he said you don't want to scope because they could be anywhere in here. we go up a little trail. rail unfortunately, we find a a you had -- we find a dead cub. a 2-year-old cub. they came in and killed the dogs, bit in the backbone, through it around. that was it. this guy had shot this cub. this turned out that this was the same bear that had been causing trouble for years around this area. we did the investigation. ted talk to the woman and found out what happened, told the guy he had to skin the bear and bring the skin down. i thought that was it. as we were driving away, there was -- as a writer, you never know when you are going to find a story or a nugget or something that would lead to a story. there was a political sign stuck in the side of the road. it said "dale bagley for mayor." it was this guy that happen to be running for mayor. ted said that reminds

they adored one another and ted emulated bobby and when bobby died, ted kennedy for the rest of his life felt the pressure that i mentioned before when one of the sons died, the mantle fell to the other one. i think ted kennedy never wanted to run for president or wanted to be president but that was something he had grown up thinking it was his responsibility. the party kept turning to him and he was happiest in life and as a u.s. senator when he unsuccessfully challenged jimmy carter and he went back to being senator. >> it's my understanding that j edgar hoover got permission from bobby kennedy to put microphones in the motel and tape martin luther king and blackmail him. is that correct? >> the first half is correct. j edgar hoover kept going back to bobby kennedy asking permission to wiretap martin luther king. the reason was because there was a fear and a fear that hoover fanned i think without any convincing evidence that there was communists in martin luther king's hierarchy and that moment j edgar hoover survived through attorneys and presidents because he had always -- he always

many in dixon, the issue goes beyond ted hickman.at kind of community dixon wants to be. represent yourself to the detriment of the city. it is not about you, it is about the welfare of dixon. >> you do have a right to freedom of speech, you do. when you tear someone else down to get your voice heard, you are doing everything wrong. >> reporter: ted hickman did not back off his views, expressing regret only that he mentioned his public office. >> if i were to remind time and write the column again, i would not use the words of vice mayor because i see where that may be unacceptable to some. that is all i have to say. >> reporter: the other four councilmembers all spoke today, all disavowed ted hickman's views, one called on him to step down but the council hesitated to punish them until they hold a closed session without him and hear from legal counsel. ted hickman is up for reelection in november but everybody in this crowd tonight doesn't want to wait that long. >> any idea when the clothes session will happen? -- the closed sessio

ted loho. let's go to our national correspondent athena jones. >> the fbi seized these recordings back in april as part of a federal criminal investigation into cohen's business dealings. the existence of these tapes apparently came as a surprise, as you mentioned, to president trump and to karen mcdougal who says she had a nearly yearlong affair with trump nearly a decade ago which he denies. this news today comes after cohen tweeted last night interestingly about the importance of the free press. tonight the stunning revelation that michael cohen, president trump's former personal attorney, secretly recorded conversations between them and not just once. a source familiar telling cnn when informed of one of the tapes trump said, quote, i can't believe michael would do this to me. trump's current attorney rudy giuliani tells cnn one of the conversations which took place two months before the 2016 presidential election in the then canned's trump tower's office was about payments to former playbo

e are pleased to welcome ted olsen. he has argued 63 cases in for the ractice and government before the supreme court including during his term 2001 icitor general from to 2004. one of his key cases epresenting president bush in president bush v gore and a artner now at gibson dunn in washington and we are pleased to have you back. unwith us the first -- you were the first alternatively. >> i'm delighted you would ask. >> we will start with broad or ing how narrow this decision was. help people understand the before we go in the details. what did the court find? >> the court found that the could not be post restrained in advance from a prior restraint as it is known. it is a very that heavy burden that the government come.o over come they have to show real harm to the country and that the government had failed to do that. the ruling of the cou court. ruling, ion to that there were nine separate opinions by members of the court. while they all agreed that prior are very difficult to obtain, the vote in the case was 6-3 a

two kind of piggyback on what ted has said -- i hope it is ok that i called you ted -- [laughter] what has come out of it came as feel like a surprise for the rest of the nation. outspokenids are so and articulate and they have it all together. but we knew that. the whole time. because these are the same kids because argue with them they have an 89 and they want that 90. they are very persistent in their arguments. they don't always get it, but you know, the draw is not fair. delaney was in my classroom every morning before school. emma gonzales was in my class as a junior. i know these kids. see them have a voice, to see them have this platform, knowing that we as their teachers support them and encourage them and work with them, it is important for all teachers to do that. whether it is a huge issue like this or something small happening at your school. this is what we are trained to do. jane: good answer. changing the subject a bit, we talked about the fact that social media is a driver of change that was not available to some of us back in the day. it is here. and you have said, ra

to the markets let me go let me go to ted in oxford but there'd have been what you just said there are other a lot of other people are saying that he wants to tweak the nato alliance not dismantle it i mean you know and glimmer. for example the relationship that trump has with angela merkel not very good we know that there is a he wants a review of the number of american troops that are in germany and finding it that way you know it's seventy plus years after the end of the second world war there is what thirty five thousand troops there you're saying the same thing about south south korea and we have you know it's not about nato it's also about trade relations and it seems to me that i can i guess i'm kind of answer my own question is that i don't think america first is compatible with the traditional american foreign policy at least the pillars of it not to say that those pillars are going to disappear go ahead your take on it ted in oxford thank you very much peter i think we have to look at the multiplicity of trump policies across the board and not just try and narrowly focused on

>> next on booktv's "after words," amanda carpenter a former senior staffer for republican senators ted cruz and jim demint provides a critical analysis of president trump's political messaging pixies interviewed by "new york daily news" columnist s.e. cupp. "after words" is a weekly interview program with relevant guest hosts interviewing top nonfiction authors about their latest work. >> host: first, you are a republican who did not support president trump. what was 201616 like for you? >> guest: politically homeless. 2016 was hard, hard election but we did have two in my view very flawed candidates, and i made the decision not to go for either candidate because i am a republican but donald trump as an option was not tenable for me. i largely sat that went out and it's because of what i observed through the campaign as a former staffer to ted cruz, as a scene commentator, and there were certain lines donald trump crossed that i just you make in an unacceptable candidate. and on the other side there was no reason for republican to vote for the democratic candidate. what are you going t

so in the end, we went from thinking ted's death was a freak accident to learning that ted was actually the eighth child to die if an ikea dresser in a 27-year period of time. four months after ted's death, in 2016, i kia facing pressure, voluntarily recalled 29 million dressers because they did not meet the current voluntary safety standards. just months later ikea had many of their recalled dressers back on the market again because their redesigned dressers now met the safety standard. but they were being sold under the same name as the ones that didn't meet the safety standard. it was very consuming for consumer, which was evidenced by the fact that in a year after the recall, there were 28 million of the 29 million recalled dressers still unaccounted for. advocates were scared another child would die because the company wasn't doing enough to clarify and promote their recall. in may of 2017 it happened. another little boy in california died from the ikea malm dresser again. this means we're now at a place where there are nine children who have died from ikea dressers in the last 29

i actually sat ted williams' lap. this is really special. >> kevin: take me through the home run. are you thinking home runs? >> no, i actually swung and missed at an fastball i the last advance and i wasnrying to put play and fortnately it go out. >> kevin: you talk about the family ties in this town, being in d.c. but how about your firse experiens an all-star? what did you takend from it what was it like? >> it was incredible. being able to talk to guys like trout. i get to talk to altuve e day but these guys like judge andth os. happ you homer and springer t tries to do same thing for it was he trying to copy you? >> he has had an incredible two years. world series mvp, big homer tonight. i am happy for him and the houston astros. >> kevin: we haveee brian ney, u.s. vice president of chevrolet. i think'r yougoing to like what brian has to say. >> on behalf of chevroletnd a our 3,000 dealers, choice from our colorado or our camaro. big chce. >> i got to go with the camaro, and i've got to give it to my mom. >> here you go. nice job. >> kevin: i le i mom is driving the sportsho

anyone's guess go ahead ted. thank you. the business about building up the presence on russia's border that's a nato process that requires consensus among all the allies and that's been in play for a lot longer than donald trump's presidency that's the culmination of plans that started about ten or twelve years ago quite frankly even before the incidents in georgia and ukraine and now that has come to fruition but it didn't cost america anything so it's a concession that president trump could easily make because it's not adding to his bottom line very much at all only really fractionally on the margins but here's the thing he's log rolling he's making a concession on that point but he's going to expect logs to be rolled in his direction in turn i think you're exactly right i think he's pushing the two percent of g.d.p. defense spending by everyone across the board in nato on a very serious basis because if countries in nato don't agree to it it's going to add to the republican vote in twenty eighteen and it's going to add t

another deeply human trait that ted cares a lot about is listening. i mean deep, true, authentic listening for understanding. he traveled the country, visited all 50 states and over 200 schools. he listened to parents, students and educators from all types of environments, growing his own knowledge and understanding, but also like a bumblebee in spring crust pollinating all that knowledge all over the country, connecting people across boundaries. thanks for doing all that listening, ted come across in real conversations with people who matter across the country and telling our stories as loudly as they can. we are listening and we are here to work together to make changes for all of our learners from a particularly those listen to, care for and understood the least. before i pass the microphone, i'm going to say a few notes about type which is another reason we're so honored to have him here today. ted retired from his successful venture firm to focus on reimagining education in the 21st century. he's done things that represented the united states at

. >> tom: the call from ted barrett. nice stop by contanras. yo tell he's got infielder's hands. keeping the tying run out of scoring position. >>om: going to go out and talk about this next pi nh, thet two pitches here, the sequence with molina. to me, that's a confidence meeting there.actually, they're a move. already signaling the bullpen. >> len: they're going to check on something physical here. >> tom: they go back to the play strop wasase, where over there covering. it looked like he was favoring he says he's okay.ower half. >> len: hyde, one of the cubs athletic trainers. >> tom: i think contreras is mping him up here. you don't want to walk in this situation. push the runner to second. i think this is about a mound visit here. contreras wenand out first, and then brandon hyde came out with his aletic trainer. so i think what will little is w sayinge're f counting theirst card a visit. the second part not an official that's probably -- >> tom: i think that's what the discrepancy >> len: those are two different things. you get six visits to talk strategy, and not to take o

ted: we are very new into this. we have a long ways to go.eem like it will get resolved anytime soon. the longer it goes, the more of an end -- impact we will see in both countries, and that will have a ripple effect globally. look, the countries we have involved in terrorist at the moment, -- tariffs in the moment, with the european union, neighbors to the north and south, and then the issue with china, our biggest trade partner. overall, if these things do not get resolved fairly soon i think we will see some pretty significant impact on our economy. while we have not seen that yet, again, it is a matter of time if we do not get things assault. caroline: does gold become a haven in that risk aversion trade? because it has not really played that part thus far. ted: it certainly has not. a lot of it is because of the strength of the dollar. when we're talking about issues with our economy, other currencies, or other countries devaluing our currency, it gives the dollar strength. so it has really become the safe haven. but if things really sta

[ laughter ] for that matter, how did ted cruz get in the senate?nyway, here's what senator cruz had to say. >> -- basketball game with jimmy kimmel starting to get a little more final here. you have a date, you have a place, what's the latest? >> it's going to be a week from saturday and i'm looking forward to it, it should be fun. >> in high school you played basketball, he played clarinet. how is he possibly going to beat you? >> well, listen, i was a mediocre high school player. i rode the bench an awful lot. i don't know how it's going to shake out. my team is terrified that jimmy kimmel's going to dunk on me. >> jimmy: that i wouldn't worry about. [ laughter ] i have a two-inch vertical leap. the only dunking i do is doughnuts. >> do you feel another element to this is a charitable thing? what does that work for? >> so the terms of the challenge -- jimmy kimmel was making fun of my rockets for losing. >> jimmy: okay, hold on. first of all, i did no such thing. i know what you're trying to do here, lyin' ted, trying to turn the fans in houston

i'll get an argument out of me on that but i tend to think there are extraneous things going on here ted i think also what trump is doing when it comes to budgets is it well if russia is such a threat to you well then why don't you pay up and mean you know you know if you're afraid why don't you on what you pay more i mean then if you're not afraid then you know then you have to rethink about the whole nature of nato ok i think we all know all our viewers know that trump ran a campaign with better it having better relations with russia he's he's folk billing his his campaign promise ok where it will go is anyone's guess go ahead. thank you. the business about building up the presence on russia's border that's a nato process. that requires consensus among all the allies and that's been in play for a lot longer than donald trump's presidency that's the culmination of plans that started about ten or twelve years ago quite frankly even before the incidents in georgia and ukraine and now that has come to fruition but it didn't cost america anything so it's a concession that president trump co

we want to discuss this further i'm not joined by ted see a senior consultant at the british american security nation council ted thank you very much indeed for joining us well do we have a special relationship that let's look at some of the thousands of protesters on the streets how special is the relationship i would say the relationship is absolutely special kate i live in london park in oxfordshire just north of oxford and last night the president was hosted by the prime minister and both of them by the mob are of course at lenin palace and business leaders from all over the u.k. were present and they got an earful from the president about what the opportunities could be for enhanced trade relationships between the u.s. and the u.k. and that to me is the essence of a special relationship. well in terms of let's have a look at what's been said before my how much will to reason may's version of brecht's that affect the u.k.'s chance of the trade deal donald trump said it will not cause it fake news but it's it's going to make things tricky at least as. well he's tweeted that he advi

i got to interview ted kennedy once and almost outed myself to ted kennedy. i didn't.so there are so many moments of just pure cowardice that i, because, passing is, passing is seductive, right? like, it's easier to just lay low, do your thing, not rock the boat. so i did that for like 12 years. i passed. so i think for me it was either someone was going to out me or i screwed up myself, so cleared i chose the latter. >> host: "dear america: notes of an undocumented citizen." jose antonio vargas is the author, and it's available in september. you are watching booktv on c-span2. >> you are watching booktv on c-span2 with top nonfiction books and authors every weekend booktv, television for serious readers. >> host: professor jeremy bailenson, in your new book, "experience on demand" you write that consumer virtual-reality is coming like a freight train. it may take two years. it may take ten, but mass adoption of affordable and powerful vr technology combined with vigorous investment and content is going to unleash a torrent of applications that will touch every aspect

this is ted drew's frozen custard. >> oh! stuff. >> jimmy: i don't know why they gave us plates for it. >> i don't know why they gave us spoons. >> jimmy: what is your flavor at ted drew's? >> it's usually -- i usually do vanilla but you mix stuff in. >> jimmy: don't they do a thing -- because i've been there. where they turn it over and it doesn't come out. >> that ain't going anywhere. >> jimmy: it's called a concrete. >> concrete, right. ah! >> jimmy: this is not ice cream, frozen custard. >> it's like ice cream but three times the calories and fat and everything bad. >> jimmy: oh my god, it's so good. >> the funny thing about ted drew's in st. louis is the main version of it is this old rickety shack that in summertime has a line literally out into the street. it disrupts traffic. next door to ted drew's is a baskin-robbin's. that should probably be called the loneliest baskin-robbins in the world. because there is never anybody in there. you can see the person looking there across the street at the 9,000-person line. lik

at that point i want to pivot to ted eagen who wrote a knowledge memo. could you present to us your memo? >> thank you, ted eagen, controller's office appreciate the recommendation. we initially felt this was too small to require and economic impact report but your office asked us for this memo to subject what would be the overall impact and as you suggest, we have a couple of facts to add to the discussion. like any stacks would have adverse effect on the industry and consumers, whether it would lead to contraction of the industry depends on two things, first, what is the overall growth, and secondly what is the ability of the industry to pass the tax on to consumers. if consumers pay the tax that doesn't harm the economy. one of the things we know is that from the first quarter of last year when it was not legal to the first quarter of this year when it was. -- they had revenues grow by 25%. some of that is consumption by some that were not consuming cannabis a year ago and now are. if just a quarter of that is an increase in prices, then the industry

this is peter deutsch, congressman peter deutsch. >> ted. congressman ted deutch, who i know well. [laughter] fmr. rep. harman: in my defense, this guy used to be tom petri and now he is tim petri. i deserved to be confused. ted is the congressman for sarah and rain. we are going to hear their stories and now that you're here, i wish you would comment on it. what we are trying to talk about is activism. where does it come from? how do you do it effectively? we are addressing the gun safety issue, but we are not debating the gun safety issue. we are discussing activism. as eleanor was saying before you got here, it was an astonishingly impressive performance. performance is not fair. astonishingly impressive act from the heart of students and teachers, who went through many absolutely horrific experience. not the first and not the last in our country. but the most recent horrific experience. i don't know which one of you wants to start? please, talk about not just the incident and what you did, but how you personally -- let's start with you, sarah. you barricaded yourself in a room

posters with a picture of ted bundy were circulated throughout the nation. >> ted did not have a planere he might be identified as he could. so he stole a car and went to florida. >> his new quarters are cramped. he's under 24-hour guard and faces intense questioning. he is theodore bundy, jailed in florida. >> bundy was living in tallahassee at the time when five florida state university coeds were attacked on or near the campus. two of the young women died as a result of the attacks. >> the police in pensacola, florida, stopped a man driving a stolen car and found to their surprise, and perhaps pleasure, it was bundy. >> step out, mr. bundy. what do we have here, an indictment. all right. why don't you read it to me. you're down for election, aren't you? >> mr. 1dy -- >> you told them you were going to get me. you said you were going to get me. you got the indictment. it's all you are going to get. >> bundy, having had some law training and a great deal of arrogance, decided to represent himself. for him he was the star in the courtroom. >> since i have been in dade county i've been

than having the ability to actually work within this structures ok it's a very good point you know ted you know if it occurred to me it occurred to me earlier today is that i think that trump has this like this envelope in his pocket and he has a list of all of his campaign promises and he's he's going to he's checking those boxes ok because he's focused on that he doesn't have a grand strategy for anything actually he he's looking at the midterm elections and he's looking at his reelection in two thousand and twenty and he's looking at his nobel peace prize he's looking at all of these things here if it and that's why you know it in in canada if he annoys the others in the g seven who cares because it's not on his envelope list ok he doesn't care all right and he's going to go meet with a lot of mere putin well you know he's already been accused of being a russian spy and and working with the kremlin and all that i mean it's already baked did in ok i mean it's old it's boring for most of the public so i think you know he's a get better relations with the other chap i met putin i did i

same thing happened to ted cruz when he ran for senate. -- but i think i'm getting in his head. there was a senate hearing today. now the hearing, as i understand, was to look into the federal judiciary's response to allegations of sexual harassment. but one of the senators clearly has basketball on his greasy little brain. >> mr. duff, you and i go back a long way. we've known each other over 20 years. spent a lot of time up on the basketball court at the supreme court. i suspect your fellow panelists don't know you were a walk-on basketball player at kentucky with a wicked jump shot. i hope you've kept that up. i've got a game coming up on saturday, i may need some of your coaching between now and then. >> put me in, coach. >> jimmy: anyway, back to sexual harassment. [ laughter ] by the way, there's a guy in the background, zoom in on the guy in the background. that guy, he's like -- what the -- [ laughter ] -- hell is going on here? this is all going down at texas southern university on saturday. if you live in houston or you want to b

this is not a live to ted rall leading political cartoonist calmness an author now the congress hearings seems to confirm that tech giants are only looking for russian meddling do you think it's right that companies should only search for interference from moscow well i'm not even sure the united states is really in a position or morally to complain about any interference in that selection considering the fact that the united states medals in the foreign affairs and elections of countless other countries is a long history of doing so and even as even to this point occupying several other foreign countries and has very client states all over the world but if we do accept the idea that the united states is uniquely positioned to complain about electoral interference in its internal affairs. obviously if you're if you're honest about it you're looking for interference from any possible source whether it be public or proud of it whether it be governmental or corporate whether it be russia or any other state actor or non-state actor focusing just on russia at this point given the fact that th

least the pillars of it not to say that those pillars are going to disappear go ahead your take on it ted in oxford thank you very much peter i think we have to look at the multiplicity of trump policies across the board and not just try and narrowly focused on what we usually call foreign policy because i think that's a huge mistake i would argue in the first place that i tend to agree with you that trump is a subversive element when it comes to the traditional nato alliance because he's questioning its integrity and its existence in a backhanded manner but more importantly by focusing on trade and by starting what some people are regarded as the tariff wall. but i don't personally he's challenging the w t o in the fundamentals of international political and economic discourse since the end of world war two and then beyond that he's also very much against open borders he's very much interested in limiting migration and refugee movements into the u.s. and i think he's sending a signal to europeans that that kind of politician can be very popular as we've already discovered in italy and ot

host: our line for others from washington state as well, ted is next. caller: hi.ost: hi, you are on. have a similar problem. an injury and after 35 years i retired, but the problem is they have made this such a big deal about opioids, and the people they help, they help. there are a few bad doctors and a few bad lawyers and all of that is evident all over the world, so don't blame the doctors, it is the patient's that demand the stuff. i just went back on opioids after quitting for two and half years after being on them for 16 and working with them on, but you have to be careful for how you use them. if you do not use them the way it is really taken, patients and doctors, these people made such a big deal of it, the doctors are afraid to prescribe this medicine. i do not know where the people going to the hospital are getting opioids that easy, because it is not that easy to walk in and out of there. if you are an addict and you come in there, they will give you a way of coming down and to a making a way treatment facility. but you cannot you're an addict. -- cure

if ted cruz is against him -- >> what is his beef with him? >> he thinks he's the kind of swing vote that kennedy was. >> not reliable. >> he's not been as straight-line conservative as somebody like antonin scalia, which is what ted cruz uses as his model. >> but similarly, the president also has to worry about the female republican senators that probably want someone more in that model, more moderate. at this point he can't count on many democrat votes unless he gets the red state democrats that want to vote for the supreme court justice because they're up for election. a lot of factions to control. but either way, the president will get his pick through. this is the whole ball of wax. >> let me say one thing about that. that brings up a great point. people say well, the president doesn't know much about the supreme court. he's not picking these guys. it's outside groups doing it. it's going to come down to the president deciding who this pick is. so even though outsiders like they always do provide a list for whoever is president, the presi

i think ted williams just made an important point. you don't want to take them away based on personal animus. there's an obscene tail that goes with people's services. they serve and cash in to a degree that for the average american would be appalling to see in detail. so it's worth -- it's a question worth raising. add to it, the kind of leaking that we've seen and the incredible politicization of the matter of what is classified. speaking of somebody that has no access to classified material, it becomes very frustrating as an american watching these sort of enigmatic elliptical things that are being used for partisan purposes. >> neil: and profiting from it which is what sarah sanders was saying. some of the president's critics say this is to distract from the putin summit and this gets people talking about something else what do you make of it? >> much as i would have preferred to the next 2 1/2 years that we talk about nothing but the helsinki summit -- [laughter] look, there's plenty of discussion about that. i'm sure there will

for me so i sat that one out because of what i observed through the campaign as a former staffer to ted cruz and cnn political commentator but on the other side there is no reason for a republican to vote for the democratic candidate. >> what do you do? >> was the lines that donald trump crossed for you where they political or personality or moral? >> very early on i was right about eminent domain. but his attacks on the press very early and his advocacy for torture that was a real line when he said i want to go after these people suggesting he would instruct the troops in the field that was a nonstarter for a commander-in-chief and then started accusing people for no reason and without evidence. he is not fit to be commander-in-chief and chief and i even went so far to write in march 15 a blacklist of politicians that were endorsing him to say if you are a professional republican like me who has worked to the campaigns and capitol hill you should not work for these people because they are judgment is flawed and they are giving credit to this candidate giving him credibility he does not

attorney ted williams on what this means right now.n and again, you had authorities and the administration pouncing on the notion, no americans indicted here. the second time we've seen rod rosenstein come out with bob mueller charging entities, non-americans what do we think of that? >> you need to listen carefully to what rosenstein said this morning. he said "in this indictment there were no americans". they could not show any collusion with any americans. that doesn't mean that other indictments that may be forthcoming, that they will not be able to show american involvement. >> neil: involvement and collusion are two different things. the way this has been bifurcated to me and i just learned that word, so don't mind if i keep using it, that there's a sudden message that we know now the russians were involved in trying to screw up the election. the hard part to prove is that american entities were colluding with them. more to the point trump entities. those that have been indicted in the trump circle, it's been on other matters, no

first case of fake news like the ted offensive that you pointed out was a massive military victory forthe united states but walter was making it sound on as debeat and the real majority talked about the 1968 election and said that one nixon said, the young people on the riots and the streets that the american people were more concerned with the policemen than radicals, your ideas on that? >> you know, america was so divided in 19 68 and i know a lot think that we are divided. whole red state and blue state fe -- phenomena, what we endured paled in comparison. when martin luther was shot in 1986 a hundred major cities were a aflame in riots. campus riots in universities and colleges were breaking out. people were being injured, people were losing their lives. by tend of 1968 we really were as a nation looking like there was a possibility of civil war or revolution. it was talked about openly. i'm not sure if that really answers the question but -- well, you know, i served in congress i have no opinion on fake news.

soon macedonia will apply and then ukraine will apply the trump of the markets let me go let me go to ted in oxford but there'd having what you just said there are a lot of other people are saying that he wants to tweak the nato alliance not dismantle it i mean you know angela merkel for example the relationship that trump has with angela merkel not very good we know that there is a he wants a review of the number of american troops that are in germany and finding it out what you know it's a seventy plus years after the end of the second world war there is what thirty five thousand troops there are you saying the same thing about south south korea and we have you know it's not about nato it's also about trade relations and it seems to me that i can i guess i'm kind of answer my own question is that i don't think america first is compatible with the traditional american foreign policy at least the pillars of it not to say that those pillars are going to disappear go ahead your take on it ted in oxford thank you very much peter i think we have to look at the multiplicity of trump policies a

i'll get reaction from two members of congress, republican lou baretta and republican ted liu. first a white house correspondent kaitlan collins. the trump administration can't solve this problem of reuniting families that the president created in the first place. >> reporter: well, jim, they certainly are struggling to get this crisis under control. that much is clear by what the white house is and isn't saying about these thousands of kids who are still separated from their parents even tonight. the president and the vice president, mike pence, are trying to put the focus back on democrats here. >> under president donald trump, we will never abolish ice. >> vice president mike pence defending the administration's immigration policies. and going after democrats who have called for abolishing the immigration and customs enforcement agency. >> we will always stand proudly with the brave heroes of ice and our border patrol. >> reporter: president trump seizing on nethe new language during his rally in montana last night. >> the new platform of the democratic party is to abolish i

we want to go to ted oakley on if the tariff fears have been overblown - ted?ing about it is it's too early, charles, to find out. if you look at the place we think it will impact is the manufacturing and the margins in particular. just a step for you, if you look at gdb as a percentage in manufacturing that percentage is 12 but if you look at the profits in the s&p 500 it's about 40. if you squeeze those margins it is more as a stock market effects than it does a gdp effect but i think we're too early to tell because event often on. charles: over the weekend with over half of the s&p 500 companies out out of 159 conference calls they listen to, only 19 companies said that tariffs had a major impact on the second quarter or the foreseeable quarters coming up. that's a relatively low number. you gotta specifically be aluminum can make her like coca-cola, which by the way, has other issues like a 30 year decline in drinks of carbonated soda or the company that buys canadian lumber. are the ceos being too sanguine about this or as a form of confidence that it will

my name is ted covey. student backge then, and i can still remember watching president nixon when he resigned. i read quite a few books on watergate. aski guess what i wanted to you, as an author of one of those books, is there anything we don't know about watergate? anything that you think still needs to be answered? that hasn't come out? >> i don't think so. think, in the end, it wasn't the little bitty details. get arrested for this, but i didn't really care who deep throat was, you know? the difference? the story was what nixon and the white house were doing. was a little intrigue of who was leaking to these hardworking and very smart, good reporters. no. there's nothing that i'm curious about, that there's some little don't know. i think we have enough to really understand it. book hope that's what this does, is it follows the events but also reflects on them as they're happening. and then in the afterword, i go to, what was watergate? who was richard nixon? i think i've got him at last. complicated,

my father will be angry sometimes i think i'm with you ted ted. starts july eighth d.w. . feel this is no friend in your psyche five o'clock now we wake up everybody on the island. it's all the bouncer in the tower in terms of. it's the feast of the most precious blood occasion for a grand celebration on the small island in lake constance in southern germany. the second stone is assisted this morning by his brother and his sister in law on what for him is the busiest day of the year. the celebrations virtually unknown in the rest of germany but it's an important tradition here the monks on the island of high snow created a unique center of art and culture more than one thousand years ago. and the island's current resident. are proud of that legacy. now live i thought we were traditional live and that also involves us doing certain shows in the morning on. this is for opted to use. me as a change from my daily routines of loss of us so i can put all my cares behind me and take a few minutes for myself to meditate a while for him. the. the. the. not everybody is able to take

if you hear that, ted, then you hear it. the headline was what he would've done differently. rfk went through the roof with peter saying how could we know what he would have wanted. he is not here. he did have to make decisions that his brother would not be faced with i'd -- and i don't think jfk would have done this or that. he thought of what was right and wrong and what they saw was the right way. i think people thought different things about what jfk would have done. in the book i have a photo of the cabinet room and they dedicated the bust of jfk. in the background he put all these decisions over vf -- vietnam and some people that set the table with body looked at him and thought, we have to carry out the commitment in vietnam. we gave our word to the allies. bobby's salt jfk and thought we have to think differently as he thought during the cuban missile crisis. you have those sorts of conflicts but they were brothers and they saw things differently from time to time.>> the vietnam war. i have no doubt that if kennedy became president we would not be there much longer th

wasn't an option for me so i sat that one out and it's because of what i observed as a former staffer to ted cruz as a cnn political commentator there were certain lines that were crossed that made him an unacceptable candidate and on the other side there was no reason for a republican to vote for the democratic presidential candidate. >> host: for the lines crossed political, more fax fax >> i was worried about his stance on eminent domain. his attack on the press very early on in his advocacy for torture when he says i want to go after these people for instructing those in the field to do obscene things for me there was a nonstartethatwas a e commander-in-chief. he is not fit to be commander n chief and i wrote a blacklist of politicians endorsing him saying if you are a professional republican like me that works in capitol hill you shouldn't work for these people because their judgment is flawed and they are giving credence to this candidate and credibility he does not deserve a. we are seeing some of that play out in cross my fingers, but the constant attack on civility, decency, the cha

subject always help or just to the image of ted we're going to do what i. said she had. a bit i mean gets you on it or to respond as she should have been told told me. they could indeed it is probably a considerable. the french stand among the most united is one step ahead of the italians did not only converted the office software but also like the munich administration changed the operating system from windows to linux and by doing so saved around twenty million euros in eight years nevertheless the police department is now coming on the massive pressure investigate europe has seen an order from the ministry of the interior to force the return of those on the money to microsoft does the corporation have such an influence one of those who has been following this for a long time is it in going from the french in geo appeal which fights for the use of free software. because that. was all he gets also except for the strong it gets like it go in the field and you know as sure as you want to link them all is the life should be. over in a song you can walk on up on a box and i

ted cruz is latino himself.f people think people of color in one block but there's a lot of conservative latinos in texas who want strong borders and fall for these identity politics. if you look at the contrast between ted cruz's ad and beto's ad -- ted cruz's ad tapped into that dog whistle and feeds on the xenophobe yeze xenophobe ye. >> it surprises me that works. in a state that is so dependent for its economic growth on mexico. if you go down -- if you go closest to the border, the relationship is fluid and positive. it surprises me this is a state where those dog whistles work rather than repel voters. >> i completely agree with you. i don't understand how it works. it's like a denial. also with everything going on with the child detentions and the forced family separations. i mean, now it's becoming -- i still don't understand how this can remain an issue of race. it has to be a human rights issue. i'm surprised you can play those dog whistles and people fall for it. >> i want to make sure we get wiscons
