reagan and pope john paul ii. the institute of world politics hosted this 90 minute event. marek: hello, ladies and gentlemen. today, you will be blessed because we will talk about god and ronald reagan. [laughter] for some, ronald reagan was god, with a lowercase g. there's no better person to pontificate about reagan, his faith, and about the roman pontiff than paul kengor. paul is a force of nature. he doesn't have to bend. he can tell it as it is. and that is fabulous because that is a philosophy we adhere to hear at the institute of world politics. paul kengor is a public intellectual on the conservative side. is one of the few -- he is one of the few who has managed to break through the pontiff ceiling across the nation. he has written a number of works on conservative issues. he also has written a few things -- more than a few things about ronald reagan, including "the crusader," one of my favorite books. last but not least, i would like to recognize paul kengor for appreciating the institute of world politics. he has been in and out and around the institute, nailing it down -- n

[laughter] you keep inviting me, i keep losing, so you are the ones with the problem. [laughter] mom probably works at nsa now, so she's probably an audience listening anyway. john: ladies and gentlemen, the team arguing for this motion. [applause] now let's meet the team arguing against

what's happening. and i'm hope you can. >> brian, the person i'm watching in all of this is john mccain. who came into this chamber for a first vote a little while ago. nodded along at a closing speech by senator schumer, and has been the focus of a ton of attention from other republicans in the room, including the vice president. he occasionally appears on the top of your screen here as the senate well picture change from time to time. sort of the basis of those cameras kind of flips around. keep an eye on john mccain. he has been sitting side by side with his good friend lindsey graham for much of this, and getting a lot of attention from republican leaders. if john mccain decides not to vote for this bill, this bill will not move forward. mccain was one of several senators to give a press conference today. he was one of the most outspoken people who said i don't want this bill to become law. but he was potentially willing to vote for it if he had assurances he was comfortable with. that speaker ryan would take to it conference, as you said, this kind of christmas tree that they could

him. we are very lucky to have these two authors. i have blurbed john's book. i expect we will have a great time tonight. i want to start off as devils advocate. new york has these old civil war monuments. they all commemorate the union side. the greatest statue is on for the night street, general sherman, he is marching through georgia, led by victory. there is an almost equally fine statue in madison square park. admiral farragut. lincoln kicked off his first presidential campaign at cooper union and after he was murdered, he was warned by kirkland's greatest poet -- brooklyn's greatest poet, what women. and on a personal note -- i was married in the union lee club in their lovely library. so what's the problem? this is the unified city of the union, right? >> that is what is so shocking about the behavior of new yorkers before and during the outbreak of the war. here in the city, during the limits of the so-called "loyal state" we had a hotbed -- as john puts it, "a city of sedition." and it is a complex history here it you go back to the revolution and think about new york's geo

he would not say another word about his vote. all eyes in the chamber are on john mccain right now. >> as garrett spoke around the 12:00 mark on your screen, there is chuck schumer, the democratic leader who came down to talk to the senator and a few other democrats who are leaning in. angus king of maine leaning in and missed senator schumer's conversation. on the left hand side of the screen, you have the senator from texas talking to the senator from wyoming and corker of tennessee making a point. this is all we have seen thus far. it is not an expression of opinion for people in our line of work to call a little tension to the disgust with what we are seeing. >> it's crazy. why does a governing body of legislature need to do this. find the bill you want, get to it the way you are supposed to get to it, arrange to have the votes for it and have a vote. they have completely gone backwards with this. it sounds like they spent the better part of the day figuring out what they can get votes for. >> around lunchtime they started. >> what will you vote for. if you do this, you lose th

#oneluckyguy, former ambassador to the united nations, we are so lucky ourselves to have him back, john bolton, you are outnumbered. good to have you. another big day. something could come down any moment, will be watching the senate floor for that vote on the repeal only bill, we'll get to that as soon as we see that something is happening. a key first step as we await that vote on repeal obamacare. senators yesterday voting to allow debate on health reform, passing by the slimmest of margins. vice president pence breaking the 50/50 tie and helping his party cross the finish line. senator john mccain making a dramatic return to washington after being diagnosed with brain cancer just last week. in the rose garden following the vote, president trump saying he's very happy with the win and taking a shot at two g.o.p. holdouts, watch. >> i'm very happy to announce that with zero of the democrats votes, the motion to proceed on health care has just passed and now we move forward towards truly great health care for the american people. we have two republicans that went against us, which is very sad

gattis's throw down sails and it is a stolen base for didi. >> john: that's been eaten up by the west. arizona, colorado and l.a. having their way. good fortunes. >> matt: the american league, you can't even start distinguishing the wild card race in terms of the number of teams that are involved here. it's the yankees and tampa bay that hold the two chairs currently but only two games between the last wild card spot and going four deep on the list of remaining suitors. >> john: baltimore 2 1/2. texas 2. seattle. >> matt: strike to headley. >> john: it's all about which division you're in. the central is up for grabs, cleveland, kansas city, minnesota. everyone thought cleveland would run away with it as did they think that the cubs would run away with the opposite league central it has not been the case. milwaukee brewers trailer leading. >> matt: the angels are in second place behind the astros. 13 1/2 games back. >> john: i'm giving manager of the year award right now to mike scioscia. how in the world he's got his team in this position with the injuries to the rotation, of co

known as maximum john. he was not a good judge. i still don't think he was a good judge. i think what he accomplished was admirable, but i spent many hours thinking that we paid a price for that and we have to be careful not to let the end justify the means. without judge sirica, it is questionable if we would have had watergate work out the way it did, but i do not think his legacy should be carved in bronze. mr. edmisten: i do think that he did set in motion the accord. i wondered how a man like this could do that, and i think it was blind hero worship or stockholm syndrome about richard nixon. mr. hamilton: one thing that really got the ball rolling in watergate was mccord. there was a record that said there had been perjury in the trial and the trees in the forest are going to fall. that got everybody. ms. stahl: that's because the judge squeezed him. up until this panel, i was shocked by it, but i thought he was a hero. his reputation is not what you are saying? mr. dorsen: no, he accomplished something, and another person who deserves some minimal credit for this is g gordo

. what's interesting, you bring up a good point, when senator john mccain is opposed to obamacare. he will be the person who will most likely save obamacare. as you heard, and in that passionate speech, he said -- i'm saying this to everyone, and dana included, we must return to order. we have to stop the partisanship. we're deadlocked. nothing is happening here. the only we accomplished as a body, is neil gorsuch. and this is -- >> yeah. i think you're exactly right. and look, for all of the drama and the well-wishes and the somber and emotional tone and moment that went along with john mccain returning to the senate, for the health care vote and the speech he gave that you were quoting from, there was disappointment in some circles. certainly not conservative circles. but in circles, i would say, maybe more independent and some democrats who truly like john mccain, disappointment that he didn't go as far with his maverickyness as he could have because he voted for the motion to proceed. so, the question now is whether he is going to take that maverick label and wear it proudly, from

about successors. in fact he's been very openly mulling with some of his advisers john kelly the secretary of homeland security. the president is saying do i want a general, john kelly was a four star now retired marine general and very impressive to the president. even though he has no real political experience beyond his current cabinet job. today at his event in long iland, the president went on and on about what a great job general kelly is doing. he said he's a real star. i think he used that phrase three different times. again, these can change by tomorrow. a lot of people around president trump who think that john kelly would not be a good chief of staff. but the fact he's openly talking about it with his staff suggests how ready he is to make a change at least at this moment. >> kelly o, the theme of the hour is sharing. we're all sharing that's what we're doing. i think the other point to -- that peter and ashley made the reason there's so much uncertainty and i can't imagine what covering this white house is for you guy, you stand there and do it every day, he could cha

investigators demand answers for the president's oldest son. let's discuss now. john is a former federal prosecutor for the southern district of new york, and matt whittaker, a cnn legal commentator and executive director of the foundation for accountability and civic trust. good evening to both of you. matt, i have to get your reaction, what's your reaction to this breaking story tonight? matt? okay. apparently we lost him. sorry. so john flanery, i'll start with you. what do you make of this reporting? >> i'd have trump the younger in the grand jury tomorrow and lock him in to see what his third version of the story is. it could be interesting to see what he has to say about the e-mail. i'd line up kushner and paul manafort now, so they're locked into a story and they might actually think about telling some truth and mcbeth they say, guilt spills itself for fear of being spilled. we've seen the two parts of trump jr.'s testimony so far. oh, we're talking about adoption, kind of hiding the other question about magnitsky then we have, well, yeah, they offered to talk to us about

court of appeals judge, john will scrupulously follow the law and apply precedent. he notes that mr. bush is well known as an experienced, capable, ethical litigator and that his knowledge of the law is unquestioned. praise for mr. bush is not confined to those from the commonwealth of kentucky, however. ted butross, jr., practices law in los angeles. among other matters, he remembers the plaintiffs in their challenge to california's proposition 8. he has known john bush for a quarter century. he writes, while we come from different political parties, i'm certain john will make an absolutely superb circuit judge. he is an extraordinary lawyer and an exceptionally fair, decent, and honest person. i have every confidence that as a judge, john will scrupulously follow the law and constitution and precedent. mr. bush has received numerous professionals awards. for instance, the best lawyers in america named him the louisville litigation antitrust lawyer of the year in 2017, this year. last year, the same organization recognized him as the louisville appellate practice lawyer of the year

. i am please to inform you that i have named general kelly as a white house chief of staff. john has also done a spectacular job at homeland security. he's been a true star in my administration. let's bring in conservative author radio host mark steyn joins me now. wow bombshell on friday night. >> yeah. bombshell news but not unexpected. reince priebus as former head of the rnc, he was basically there to smooth the connection between the president and a republican party in congress. because reince priebus knows all the republican mainstream guys. and the one thing that has failed in the last six months i think is the connection between the republican establishment and the president. so if reince priebus can't do that, there's no. liz: let's take it to blake burman in dc, saying he wants a general in this operation. go ahead, blake. >> well, not necessarily in this operation. liz: he said he wanted a general, we have heard, in the white house. but go ahead. >> right. so, yeah, he's had this admiration, as we know, as he talked about for a while his upbringing as a child and all the w

staff reince priebus and replaces him with the homeland security secretary, general john kelly. >> reince is a good man. john kelly will do a fantastic job. >> mason: also tonight, requiem for a health care plan. >> disappointment, indeed. >> we are not celebrating. we are relieved. >> can't have everything, boy oh, boy. >> mason: denying america-- >> mason: defying america-- north korea launches an intercontinental ballistic missile analysts believe was capable of reaching the u.s. mainland ♪ thank you, jesus >> mason: and steve hartman. she was lost, and now she's found, thanks to one man's amazing grace. >> we really do have a responsibility to help one another get home. this is the "cbs evening news." >> mason: and this is our western edition. good evening. i'm anthony mason. anthony scaramucci said he and reince priebus got along like brothers cain and abel. today, biblical history repeated itself as scaramucci, the new white house communications director, won the power struggle with priebus, the chief of staff. priebus is out, replaced by general john kelly, the secreta
