. >> afterward, the president issued a statement commending watkins for, quote, a very splendid job of managing the censure process. that was more than joe mccarthy could take. on december 7th he walked into the first hearing of the subcommittee in months and openly apologized to the american people for supporting dwight eisenhower for president. but the struggle was over. in a june 1955 meeting with legislative leaders, eisenhower repeated a joke that was making the rounds in washington. quote: it's no longer mccarthyism, the president said, it's mccarthy-wasm. [laughter] eisenhower emerged publicly from his science on mccarthy just prior to his death. ike, using pencil, edited out his harshest criticisms of mccarthy. still, he could not resist a hint of what he really did. quote: what a lot of people today, even today don't know is that behind the scenes i was doing all i could to assist those who were wrongly accused. and in many cases, my efforts were effective. eisenhower recalled once the struggle with mccarthy was over, a former critic of his approach to mccarthy said to him, by

joe watkins is joining me, former white house aide to george w. bush joe, there's supposedly a republican majority in the senate but when you look at, for example, susan collins, a republican in maine, is very different than a republican in texas. we don't have republican majority at this point what do they do? >> it's going to be hard at the end of the day, all politics are local and they have to consider dltheir own state a how they are treated if they vote for a bill that doesn't support medicaid expansion and some of the other things that are supported like in ohio and maine and the like they have a difficult job to agree together on the health care bill that replaces obamacare but at the same time doesn't reduce medicaid expansion in the states that have signed on >> ben, should they go smaller here should they just put this thing aside and when the whole -- when it seems -- we've heard now for 16 years that everybody agrees there needs to be corporate tax reform, that they focus on something much more targeted and small right now rather than

i want to bring in joe watkins, former white house aide to george h.w.er, political analyst. good morning to you. do they have a point on this? does the president have to just stand there and take it? doesn't he have the right to defend himself? >> anyone has the right to defend themselves for sure. when we are talking about the presidency, we are talking about a higher standard. i want my president to operate under a higher standard where he doesn't hit back against cable news hosts. this sets a terrible precedent. there is going to be world leaders people who don't have america's best interests in mind when they go about different actions. if north korea does something the president doesn't like personally will he hit back ten times harder without thinking it through? i wake up nervous because his temperament, he doesn't have the temperament to be commander in chief. he demonstrates it over and over again when he publically shames women. that's what he does when he feels attacked and his masculinity has been attacked. he can't do that as president. >>

there is a historian by the name of tom watkins who said that the history of the gold rush is not so much a historical record, it's the record of a seismograph. it was an earthquake and he -- we still feel the tremors. resilience, reinvention, innovation, taking a chance, risk-taking, entrepreneurialism had their origins in the california gold rush. it is not a surprise that silicon valley started in california. the foundation was set 130 years before. it's not a surprise that hollywood ultimately ended up in dreamrnia, where the factory came to where you can get to the last of the west in california and dream big and fail with relatively little fallout. that was all part of the full gold rush. it is part of our legacy. the gold rush, according to historians -- the rush aspect lasted seven years. 1855, 1856, but it did not end there, as far as i'm concerned. the gold rush never ended. it just transformed into agricultural rush and technology rushes and oil rushes and population rushes. it is still with us. we are still feeling the tremors. if you seek the california gold rush today,

joining me now, joe watkins, republican strategist and former white house aide to president george h.wrmer cruz campaign spokesman, msnbc political analyst, and zsa zsa lena maxwell. big welcome to you both. rick, i'll go with you first. donald trump jr.'s attorney has been quoted saying he released all the e-mails to try to get it out there, avoid the drip, drip, drip. it seems new information comes out in a drip, drip, drip fashion every day. we know more people were at the meeting than originally thought. from a political perspective, what kind of damage do you think has been done. is this head scratching to you, the way this has been unfurled? >> it's all political damage. the problem is it destroys the credibility of destroys the cre of the administration. an administration must have credibility if they want to get anything done, particularly legislatively. i'm convinced the russians did this, they used a cutout, it's an intermediary. what concerns me is this may to the be the only incidence in which they've done that. when you have donald trump constantly defending putin, who is

across the years though, from a literary standpoint i can go all the way back to francis ellen watkins hopkins. you can go to neal hurston, and petri that did the book 116 street. all of the women around margaret alexander. and in terms of age of the sum of these women are brought to the forefront. one of my colleagues, mary helen washington out of detroit i mean, these - have is that we lost last year. and we talk about maya angelou, you say nothing, toni morrison right down to current crop of black women writers you know coming out of africa and to say nothing of jacqueline woodson was one of my colleagues you know at the harpercollins. so we have got these black women writers, thinkers and activists out there. and the whole black lives matter movement. these are very devoted, dedicated black woman who right at the epicenter and development of new concern about fighting for civil and human rights in our society. but we can see, there is a long history of that you know some of the black woman out there that i profile each week, whether they're coming from the political arena, cultural

the bills wide receiver sammy watkins is tweeting we got to get paid more.ous here. don't they have an argument given the nfl is more valuable than the nba. >> yes, so, the nfl's revenues last year were about 14 billion, the nba's 8 billion. again, the nfl players did a deal. their deal's not as good. they don't have guaranteed contracts. i think what sammy needs is a calculator. there are 53 players on an nfl roster. there are 15 on an nba roster. yes, they are getting more money. you just have to divide it with more players. >> and they are also playing fewer games, 16 as opposed to 82 regular season. >> darren, thank you. bottom line we chose the wrong line of work. >>> coming up here on "gma," rumer willis now six months sober opening about her struggles to stay clean sharing a message to everybody living with addiction. i'm karen, i'm a teacher.olfer. my psoriatic arthritis caused joint pain. just like my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. and i was worried about joint damage. my doctor said joint pain from ra can be a sign of existing joint damag

bush white house aide joe watkins. welcome back to you all. david, i'll start with you.is john mccain's absence will affect mitch mcconnell here to get this legislation passed? >> it affects it a lot pf mit. mitch mcconnell has absolutely zero margin and there are 52 senators who are republicans and he needs 50 votes because mike pence would presumably break the tie. you just mentioned there were two republican there, rand paul and susan collins who for very different reason, one to the left and one to the right, cannot accept this bill and others who are undecided and who say they can't vote for a bill that has such draconian effects on medicaid and other elements. so it doesn't look like he has the 50 votes and with john mccain who would presume we would vote for it even though he's getting help himself these days, that makes it very difficult so he can't bring the vote to the floor. he's going to delay and we'll see when john mccain gets back, but this is the type of thing that the longer they wait, the more people talk about it and the more the polls show americans d
