when the tsar died, you knew the process by which his successor his son, would be elevated. standing committee and polit bro would select his successor. but when putin dies -- i almost said if -- what will happen? no one knows. to understand putin, you have to understand russia. the last 100 years for that country has seen communism, democracy, collapse, and then comes vladimir putin, ushers in two decades of stability and increases standards of living, and increases prominence in the world. russians have immense national pride. russia is, after all, the largest country on the planet. 48-times larger than europe. it emcompasses 11 time zones. straddles europe and the middle east. it claims a prominent place on the world stage. after the strange summit in held hins helsink helsinki, putin has established that goal. donald trump gave perhaps the most embarrassing performance by an american president i have witnessed or read about. his efforts to talk his way out of his troubles even make this more absurd. >> i don't see any reason why it wouldn't be russia, sort of a double-ne

and former white house ethics tsar norm eisen. ken cuccinelli, the idea of push back now that this won't be about roe versus wade. do you believe that everything trump said during the campaign about doing exactly that? >> well, i certainly think that roe versus wade is going to loom large here, it's going to loom wlarj because of the type of justice and judges that so far trump has picked basically just read and apply the constitution, and that isn't how you keep a roe. as prominent scholar as larry tribe and there's a long list of liberal scholars who have all said, roe versus wade was poorly decided. so when you -- >> it's not what chief justice roberts said. he said it was -- >> no, he didn't say it was well decided. >> he said it was starry decisive. >> it's the only one that matters. >> justice kennedy used to talk a lot about starry desis is except when he didn't. especially in his last week as a justice, deciding cases he reversed a 40-year-old one from the '70s. you know, it's not a foundational principle, it's a stability
