this is john marshall, the nationalist. john marshall, we the people. john marshall, the united states is my country, not virginia. over the -- these decades he was able to bridge divides. compromise to forge for people who disagree with him built upnstitution and the legitimacy on the supreme court. this is why we think of him and him alone as the great chief justice. we end with this portrait. this is john marshall, the elder statesman. 1831. he has come to philadelphia for surgery. they have him set for this portrait. reflecting on, he gets to this point in his life, and what is his legacy? obvious americans, the is him as a chief justice. he served for 34 years. decisions.reat things that are still in casebooks today. things that lawyers today still read for purposes of learning. decisions, he asserts judicial independence and builds up the legitimacy of the supreme court. he took it over and built it into a much stronger constitution. americanero of the revolution, serving in valley forge with george washington and alexander hamilton. figure and ao

his name was john, john diamond. >> john loved women, john was a lady'sman, john always had girlfriends. >> so debby, john's big sister could certainly see her brother responding to a solicitation like michelle's. >> he has a great personality. and he's attractive guy, and his personality makes him that much more attractive. >> not long after meeting online, they met at a restaurant. >> he was charming. >> john diamond was an army officer. he had been in the service since he was 18. >> by all accounts, he was a good soldier, but he was a playboy himself. he had been married himself and had a child from his first child and left his first wife and married and they had a son together. >> michelle didn't know that john had been married twice. she wouldn't have cared. >> he was very sexy, he was very affectiona affectionate, he was very adoring. >> what made her so desirable to him? >> i think it was just the sex. that was what he was in smitten with. >> she said he was the love of her life. and that she never loved john diamond. >> and marty, he was in the dark of course. when michelle told

going to be too worried about john papers. so it was always assumed that a family friend had just thrown them away or they had gotten lost. but as it turns out, they hadn't. had been passed along. and they end up in pennsylvania, and i show up, and here they are. and i end up staying three days, and i wasn't finished looking at them, and kind of archiving them. the family had to go out of town, so i went back later on with my wife and stayed three more days. i spent six days going through all these. i very quickly went through some of the papers that i sensed might be important from a scholastic standpoint and from the controversies of wood, mostly his tenure in the west, the army of the tennessee -- the army of tennessee. really much bad, to talk about what hood in the army of northern virginia. lettersanscribe these and i picked up the phone and i called ted and i said, ted you want to believe this. i sent him some of the stuff and he called me back a few days later and said, we were going to go to press with his next month

john roberts is live in the briefing room. john? >> shep, good afternoon. sarah huckabee sanders will take the podium in the next ten minutes or so. she arrives 10, 15 minutes after the scheduled time. the president not giving rex tillerson arousing endorsement saying he's here because the water fountain is also here. we don't know what the future of the water fountain will be. this is something that's been talked about for a long time here, including the idea that mike pompeo would replace him at the state department and tom cotton with whom the president has a terrific relationship would replace pompeo. to for some reason the pompeo switch doesn't work, i'm being told there's a secondary plan that's being talked about here at the white house. not necessarily officially endorsed the president likes nikki haley. it's possible she could go to the state department that would leave a vacancy at the united nations that could be filled by dena powell, that is a power player here. we will point out that the wall street is reporting there's no plan to remove rex t

that's the way to go. >> dagen: john, privatize or not >> john: absolutely. gary b. has been on this, they've gone to 80% failure rate can you imagine any company surviving that when you fail it that often? yes you need to privatize it. i was in india when they had the terrorists bombings and privat ized security there and uniform and very strict but seamless as you go through it. the inconsistencies of tsa are absolutely appalling. i'm against a very broken system that needs to be taken out of government's hands. >> dagen: lee the tsa is implementing the ct scanners in some airports i think testing them in two so they are try to improve the bomb detection and weapon detection. >> lee: but they are but why shouldn't three do something more innovative or creative and that won't happen with just government so maybe they should consider doing partnership, if you look at disaster recovery there's partnerships with companies like toyota to make it more efficient and cut the recovery time in half. why doesn't the tsa look at alternatives and say let's make this more effici

john, welcome to my campus. john, because of the faculty here, they have been kind enough to give me a platform to work with the center for political communication and be part of series, the national agenda series. we are working, the bidens, because the board have been generous in along me to bring some major, serious stuff people from washington who work with me and who know you and you know them and to work together to purece some genuinely objectives. one is to reduce serious academic material that sheds light on the issues of the day. bring to the campus -- expose them to some of the best minds and leaders in the country in all fields, but mainly in this field -- this case, politics. dr. hoffman, thank you for letting us join your operation and thank you for being willing to moderate. and nancy, who i've known since she was a child -- she reminded me she started interviewing me when my daughter was four years old. she said she was peeking out from behind the desk at the time. nancy has done a great job here

. >> stephen: elton john! elton john! now, elton john, thank you so much for being here. this is going to be slightly difficult for me because i'm going to geek out at you extremely hard. when i was in third grade, i had a band called nebula five. there were only three of us. i was the lead man, grey on drums, tommy on piano, we did all elton john songs. ( cheers and applause ) i was an elton john tribute performer in eighth grade. >> wow, thank you very much. >> stephen: you've got the new box set here called "elton john diamonds." >> it's the greatest of the packages you will ever see. i came up with the title "diamonds" because i like "diamonds." >> stephen: there you are. you're elton john, you can name it. you have "diamonds" out, still on tour, performing this violation, working for the elton john aids foundation. you're raising two sons. is raising sons cutting into your cool at all? >> no, it's just changing the landscape of my lives. i never thought i would be dad but it came to pass, my children will be seven and five soon, and it's the best thing that ever happ

i'd be meeting with world leaders and i got john before i went in. what you think, john? this is what i'm going to say. does this make sense? this is what i'm thinking. he not only became a friend, he became an advisor. later on, i think maybe i served the same role for john when he was taking about running. we talked for hours about the state of the world, specific assignments, about what we wanted to do with our lives. i learned a lot about this man. and then, we talked about what we are going to do. how we were thinking about what we are going to do. john would talk about maybe he's going to go back to arizona. go to arizona and get involved in politics. and at the chagrin of my democratic friends, i strongly encouraged john to do it. because i knew i knew when he , ran for the house, it didn't surprise me at all that he won. it didn't surprise me when he ran for the senate and won. it just pleased me that we got to serve together, even though that same point of time as john said, camera rouge was elected for the house and came over. that is another story. but it did n

john austin jr. famously refused to take the salem witch trials seriously when he arrived to a court hearing he was surrounded by what he contends would described as winches with their juggling tricks. he refuses to trust salem justice. he is sprung from jail and tell us he said people regain their reason. unlike austin quakers were left alone. there were communities of them in the colony and perhaps the unique mayflower compact which was so much influence by john robinson had a continuous rippling effect on the colonies like a perpetual fountain bubbling up. even if the mayflower compact is much romanticized the fact is this document is rightly regarded as elite forward in the history of democracy. it certainly was an advance of the time in printers carpenters and indentured servants and barrel makers were not usually 17th century politicians. it wasn't until over 200 years later in england that the working class boring franchise. robinson had left instructions which i would argue emphasizes the val

john smoltz works is over before, during, and after games. >> john: my fantasy football team is struggling. >> joe: well... the lines fan. there is the 1-1. just missed. that is low. 2-1. >> john: somehow gregerson has got to get a sinker below taylor's ability to lift it. that's what he's trying to do, along with a lot of these dodgers in the lineup. if you can get late movement, that's where he can get it on the ground and possibly turn two. even though taylor can fly. >> joe: 2-1. that is a heck of a pickup by bregman and the tag for the out. what a play by the second baseman for the astros, who's been a defensive wizard this postseason. taylor advances the runner. down to second is culberson. one out. there is the chopper he got. >> john: unbelievable play behind the bag from bregman. that ball, you just don't make that play that routinely. especially in the world series. we have seen great defense all postseason out of bregman. incredible throws to home and throws like that at first, even though a little off balance. he was able to get it close enough to the bag so gurriel could make

john do these protests do more to hurt the cause? >> john: they do because forget about whether the cause is good or bad. i agree with a lot of what they're protesting but the problem is this we have this year in the united states 7600 retail stores closing compare that to 6800 that close at the height of the recession. you're protesting these retail stores in chicago and chicago's tax base has been eroded. all you're going to do is drive people to buy more stuff online or to not shop. the problem you have in chicago right now specifically with the police department, with social services, is politicians. that you should be protesting. you have $62 billion in unfunded pension and debt obligations into the city of chicago only $ 0.33 out of every dollar promised by these politicians who knew they couldn't pay for it is funded right now and to go out there and to hurt retail, you're hurting your own city by doing this and yes, i think the cause is lost. >> dagen: patrice do these protests help or hurt their cause because they do have th

on the morning of john f. kennedy's death in 1963, i was shopping in san francisco for a short silk dress in which to be married. a few years later this dress of mine was ruined when at a dinner party in bellaire, roman plan ski accidentally spilled a glass of red wine on it. july 27, 1970 i went to the magnan high shop in beverly hills and picked out at linda sabian's request the dress in which she began her testimony about the murders of sharon at a time polanski's house. i believe this sob a nonsensically chain of accordances but in the jingle, jangle of that morning in the te summer, it made as much sense as anything else did. >> what fascinates me is she writes to know what she thinks. and, you know, throughout her whole life, the things she writes about is a world in disorder and, eventually, her life became a world of disorder. and she's trying to make these connections, these nonsensical connections. of course, the time, you know, late '60s, manson, you know, assassinations, none of these things could

john? >> jessica snyder, the carter paige interview with the intelligence committee. he's talking meaning he doesn't have anything to hide or bad legal advisor all of the above. >>> cnn contributor, selena, i want to start with you on sam clovis. he's somebody i talked to a lot during the campaign. he was a fairly early supporter of support, a key iowa supporter of donald trump. and sam clovis, his nomination to serve in the agriculture department could be in trouble. what is his significance inside the trump orb connecting it back to the campaign? >> he is up for nomination to be the chief scientists, and for all accounts, anybody that has ever talked to him is a standup guy. this is the problem with papadopoulos in that somebody like him, somebody who is not a direct employee of the campaign but is a volunteer, so they are trying to make connections, and, you know, move up the ladder, you know, these e-mails are traded and, you know, we don't know if clovis immediately dismissed it, or --

john adams. he has won the national book price twice, he has been given the presidential medal of freedom by president clinton. he has been asked to speak to a joint session of congress and giv given virtually ever every honor a citizen can be given. he also has 55 honorary degrees which must be a record. that's very impressive, but even more impressive is that he has five children, 19 grandchildren, and the love of his life rosalie is here, his wife of 63 years. okay. so, did you ever think when you were growing up in pittsburgh that you would one day become the most famous chronicler of american history? >> of course. >> never imagined such a thing. >> what was your ambition as a young boy in pittsburgh? >> i wanted to get good grades in school, but not to spend too much of my time worrying about that and then i got interested in girls and that took up a lot of my thought and preparations and once i got to college, i knew i either wanted to be an artist or writer or an architect or an actor, bu

mistakes and taking responsibility, john conyers is saying he has -- nyi. we have additional sound from senator franken where he talks about the allegations where he touched women's behinds while taking pictures. let's go ahead and play that and i'll come to you on the other side. >> i take pictures with thousands of people. i would never intentionally do that and so -- but that does not negate -- my intention isn't what is important. what is important is we have to listen to women and respect what they say. >> so al franken draws a fine line there. he talks about his intention, he didn't do it intentionally but as you heard he says that is not important. he draws the focus back to the feelings of the women who were at the receiving end of this and says that is the most important. i will say over the course of the past week after these allegations came out, senator al franken has received support from women. first he received a letter -- there was a letter that came out from about a dozen of his former staff who said it was one of the best work environments

her description of john coniers is accurate. that makes it all the more poignant if he is unable to remove this serious doubt that exists, but it doesn't deny the fact. >> all right. 1964. if i can ask you about president trump administration fighting for control of the nation's top consumer watch dog group and financial protection bureau, cfpb. the president clammed slammed i total disaster and the outgoing director names the deputy as the interim leader, but the trump administration announced that it will be the omb director mull vainy and many wonder who will show up to work tomorrow as the interim? where are you on how this conflict has a risen? >> i was one of the main drafters working with senator elizabeth warren. i'm proud of that. let me begin with the substance. it's the most important protectors for the average citizen that we have ever had. when people like mulvaney and trump attack it, it's very interesting they have not given any specifics. i wish people would ask what is it that people have done that you don't lik

that is a monument to john mccain, on behalf of john mccain. what are we looking at? sen. mccain: i never understood that. in the middle 1970's when that was built. i'm not sure exactly why. course, there are a few mistakes. i was in the navy and they called me a major and i was a lieutenant commander. whathey erected it and significance it has to them i never really quite figured out. i complained a couple of times when i heard the grass was overgrown and there might have been some bird droppings around it. they thought i was serious. i don't complain anymore. lake. down right in that as he mentioned, the thermal power plant we were bombing and i was hit over the target. , i landedjecteejected right on that lake and that is why they put it up there. and theyly injured swam out and pulled me in. i can tell you the natives were less than friendly on my arrival, and understandingly so. we just finished bombing their city. i don't hold any grudges against them because of that. sometime in the 1970's, they built that particular the boreal memorial and- frankly i am glad they h

i'm john clark, enjoy your eagles sunday. we've paid a big price for chris christie and kim guadagno. they gave out billions in corporate tax breaks. millions to whitewash the bridgegate scandal. millions more wasted on empty office space. we got stuck with the bill. property taxes up. train and bus fares up. college tuition up. women's healthcare funding eliminated with christie and guadagno we're paying more and falling behind. four more years of kim guadagno is unaffordable. nice to meet you sir. joseph, i'm nice to meet you.u? how's it going man? the yankees? come on.

neil: nancy pelosi talking about john conyers. that the, that the bedeviled congressman, longest-serving u.s. congressman right now should resign. conyers lawyer saying that the congressman will not be pressured by nancy pelosi. he was hospitalized in detroit for stress-related issues. we're told he will be okay. all this comes at time where harrassment and these type of issues are front and center, prominently in the media industry. matt lauer the latest to get brought up on all of this stuff. we're founding out a lot more stuff. tracee carrasco with a lot more. reporter: matt lauer finally breaking his silence today after he was fired by nbc for inappropriate sexual behavior. in a statement read on air by former "the today show" co-host, lawyer said there no words to compressor row and regret to people i hurt. some of what is said is untrue or mischaracterized but there is enough truth in these stories to make me feel embarrassed and ashamed. there are as many as eight victims. that is according to nbc news correspondent stephan

john. please stop. the question was a new "washington post"/abc poll shows nearly half of americans president trump likely committed a crime in connection with russia's election meddling. the president has been trying to deflect and distract attention. but i'm wondering if he's failing to convince americans there is nothing there. that's the question. >> the same polls that predicted that hillary clinton would win in a landslide are now saying this. it's all nonsense. fake news. fake polls. there is don and joe, i know you're going to be really disappointed. there is -- >> i'm not disappointed. i'm just asking you the question. you're answering it. >> i'm answering it. paul manafort and rick gates are bad guys. they're bad guys. the biggest mistake that donald trump made had nothing to do with russian collusion or breaking the law. it was hiring paul manafort. >> and papadopoulos? >> this was a disastrous decision -- papadopoulos is a volunteer. let me tell you about papadopoulos. he came in -- >> and f

john hechinger, thank you for joining us. we just heard in that taped spot about the number of colleges taking action against fraternities. are we reaching a tipping point do you think? >> the really shocking aspect of what we're seeing now is that this is not a record number of deaths. we of had four this year. but in 2012, we had seven. so there have been other times when colleges and fraternities could have taken action, and they didn't. i hope we're at a turning point. i see more concern, and i see more colleges shutting down fraternities for indefinite ban, just somewhat unusual? i have to say, a lot of those bans after several weeks or several months disappear because from fraternities are such a powerful force on campuses. >> yang: you talk in your book about the obstacles to doing something about fraternities. >> well, i mean, fraternities are ingrained in higher education much more than i ever realized before i started researching this book. they own $3 billion in real estate. they house 250,000 students, more than a

this was the john burton housing complex funded largely by the john burton foundation. and we'd like to have john come up and say a few words. please, sir. [ applause ] >> whew. >> and while john's on his way up, i'd like to mention that rick moriono is here who is the president of the board of directors of the john burton foundation. >> whew. >> [ applause ] >> thanks a lot, larry. i would first like to thank our board members, rick and mariono who played a big role. because he knows development and trying to help pat through some of this snake pit stuff that they go through, including the fact that one of the city agencies was not going to elect -- it wasn't the mayor's office. he told us that that's giving it to him. but they would not let us park cars because there was a little piece of paper that hadn't been signed. and pat's very polite. i would have said, screw them. tow the mayor's car away and see how he gets there. but rick mariono and -- there she is. who? who else is here? who? >> tammy. >> oh, yeah. tammy and i had a stroke. i don't remember.

diplomats he discusses jan john cavalier john is the president of the u.s. cuba trade and economic council we're really pleased to have you john thanks for being with us you know this is a first time in in my life a couple years ago where i really thought that maybe we turned a corner on cuba relations that we were getting rid of the remnants of the cold war can you give our viewers sort of a quick flyby on us to better relations and then let us know what has been allowed just in recent years i sort of recall some humanitarian assistance agriculture assistance but bring us up to date if you would john and thanks again for being here. my pleasure. when this all began january first nine hundred fifty nine and we've had an adversarial relationship since then up until one thousand nine hundred two foreign subsidiaries of u.s. companies remained permitted to export products to cuba these were products that came from outside the united states one thousand nine hundred two cuban democracy act which says no more of that trade and that was valued up to about seven hu

john roberts starts us off with this report. >> do you want rex tillerson on the job? >> meeting with the crown prince of bahrain, president trump gave secretary of state rex tillerson a lesson ringing endorsement. sources inside and outside the administration tell fox news plans are being made for possible departure of tillerson that could happen in late january. the most likely scenario to replace him, elevate cia director mike pompeo to secretary of state and replaced pompeo with arkansas senator tom cotton has been one of the president's most reliable supporters on capitol hill. the white house and state department pushed back at the notion that tillerson was being forced out. >> >> chief of staff kelly calld our department this morning and said the rumors are not true. >> in a statement, white house press secretary sarah sanders was somewhat ambiguous, saying "as the president just said, rex is here. there are no personnel announcements at this time." >> and the president loses confidence in someone, they will no longer be here. >> questions continue to swirl. pre

john, let me start with you. this mccain vote what does this mean for final passage of the senate's version of this bill? >> i think it's very positive sign for republican leaders. they're very close to having what they need. i do think it's not entirely done. there are a lot of details still being worked out. the so-called trigger to protect against the potential effects of higher deficits, if growth doesn't pan out as republicans hope. and i do think they're waiting for the joint tax committee. they're not waiting. the joint tax committee is rushing to try to provide an estimate. i think if that shows weak growth as a result of this bill, remember, growth is the most powerful underlying argument for the tax bill. if it shows that growth is weak and, therefore, revenue produced by that growth is weak, i do think that could slow down this process. >> lonnie, senator from arizona twice said this bill was not perfect. why do we think at this point that senator mccain and a few other senators who are on the fence se

john conyers is an icon in this country. as he reviews his case, which he knows, i don't -- >> how could you -- >> may i finish? that he will do the right thing. >> nancy pelosi on the allegations of sexual harassment against democratic congressman john conyers. joining me now, democratic congressman. dan killdy, a member of the house financial services committee. good to see you. the "detroit free press" calling on john conyers to resign. what is your view on that? how do you think the allegations against your fellow michigan congressman should be handled? >> first of all, i would say this is a very serious situation and has to be take within that kind of seriousness and i think representative conyers will have a decision to make. i think the important thing that we do is get the facts, allow ourself to take a look at the facts in the light of day and make a determination as to whether or not congress or our caucus should take some action. but ultimately, i think this is also a situation where congressman conyers is going t

john? >> all right, susan, thanks so much. christine romans, repealing the individual mandate. that's a big change in this bill. what exactly would that mean? >> that's the glue to the affordable care act. you take the glue away and premiums would start to full apart. right away, you would see about 4 million people uninsured. that's likely because young and healthy people are going to say, forget it, i'm not going to buy obamacare, i'm out. and by the year 2027, you would see 13 million. the point here is this adds $338 billion to the tax plan. that's what they need. they need the money for tax cuts. what do those tax cuts look like? they're packaging this as middle class tax relief. here are some proposed middle income tax brackets. 22, 34, 32%. but those expire by the year 2025. i want to be really clear about this. that middle class tax relief is temporary. it expires. the individual tax cuts expire. the pass-throughs also expire. those are the small and medium-sized businesses. but the

bew is our politics expert, and john bew is history professor. they are going to give a talk this morning, starting off with john. [applause] >> can everybody hear me ok? i want to thank the organizers for a fantastic conference so far. it has been wonderful at many levels. i'm doubly a pleasure, it was in 2012 we first met. six people turned up, michael was one of them. we have stayed in touch since then. it's very nice to be heard today. my father and i were discussing how to break up our talk, hopefully it will be something like a conversation. we are related, our books are not related. our discussion was who to go first. we went with me. he will note i interrupt that he will interrupt at various points. i want to talk about the relationship with clement attlee and winston churchill. i want to talk about the insight i think attlee offered about churchill's character and strategy during the second world war. i can start talking about churchill and attlee through .any antidotes churchill said attlee was a modest man with much to be modest about.

now with an update from the scene, we say good morning to john gonzalez. john: julie, good morning. if it roads closed because these are essentially two crime scenes connected. knowing how critical this section of georgia avenue is during the morning rush hour, police have carefully reopened the southbound lanes but the northbound lanes remain closed. we are waiting for daylight to finish processing the scene, but larry, we can tell you this will be a crime scene for some time as they investigate this double shooting and homicides. larry: president trump taking waves overnight. why he said he does not blame z2ktrz z5yz y2ktry y5yy running a small business is demanding. and that's why small business owners need more. like internet that's up to the challenge. ss gives you more. with speeds up to 20 times faster than the average. that means powering more devices, more video conferencing, and more downloads in seconds, not minutes. get fast internet and add phone and tv for only $24.90 more per month. comcast is building america's largest gig-speed network to give small businesses more.

john went over. he was arnold palmer who did not keep it in control, but he was probably the most exciting player of his era. in private, he was a perfect gentleman. it was just that he was so intense that it would get away from him sometimes. he lost his temper a lot, but when he played bjorn borg, he never lost his temper once. david: wow. i never really knew john mcenroe as a tennis player, but when i practiced law, the office next to mine was held by man named john mcenroe senior, and he always told me his son was a high school tennis player and was really good. of course you always roll your eyes when you hear this, but then i finally realized he was not exaggerating. [laughter] david: let's talk about golf. a man named tiger woods came along and you signed him up relatively early in his professional career, i guess at the beginning of it, so was that hard to convince him to do this? phil: tiger woods, you could see coming from way back. he had won three u.s. amateurs win threeent on to u.s. ama

you make of that, john? well, you know, romney has kind of started to play this voice as the moral voice of the republican party, speaking out in moral terms when there's that clash between morals and political success. but in this case, he's talking about a new standard in the wake of the harvey weinstein stories and other stories about sexual predators. the standards are changing. predators have used lack of absolute proof to escape punishment and have often lashed out at their accusers. now now, institutions from hollywood to corporate america and the senate are learning how to listen to women who are making these accusation. and what romney is essentially doing is applying that new standard. saying you don't need absolute proof. you is can have a certain amount of evidence, he's seen the evidence and he says it meets the test. >> mason: what exactly are the republicans' options now, john. >> reporter: they're exercising them differently. we have seen different senators who have withdrawn hir endorsements

david: john, what do you think? >> why would we allow the federal government to control who comes in in terms of human capital. we would recoil if the government presumed to say how many computers and what kind, how many cars and what kind, yet the most important source of economic growth as possible, human beings, we allow these people who comes in and out of this, get the federal government out of it. david: but, bill, it's a gift fob a u.s. citizen, to be allowed to live and work here and hopefully for them to become a citizen. the president keeps talking about this merit-based system as opposed to the diversity system, kind of an open lottery. wouldn't it be better to get people who have certain skills that we know would help our economy? >> you bet, david. we should have a merit system. a point scale with points awarded for being willing to work really, really hard or having advanced degrees and under my points system, people from mexico and china would get high scores. >> and rich, we know that this merit-base

john, welcome to my campus. i was not a graduate here, two thirds of my staff and ohio state where he went, i just wanted to see a really beautiful campus here. john, because of the doctor and the faculty here, they have been kind enough to give me a platform here to work with, in this case, the center for political communication. be part of their series, the national agenda series. we are working, the bidens, because again, the doctor and the board have been generous in allowing me to bring some major, serious staff people from washington who work with me and know you and you know them and to work together to produce some genuinely -- we have two objectives. one is to produce serious academic material that sheds light on the issues of the day. and two, to bring to the campus ,> exposed to my fellow men expose them to some of the best minds and leaders in the country in all fields, but mainly in this case, politics. dr. hoffman, thank you for letting us join your operation and thank you for being willing to mode

joe johns is at the white house. >> reporter: good morning, john. the president also tweeting this morning about the tax bill he would like to see get through congress and on his desk before end of the year, important to him because it would be a signature achievement during the first year in office because if you look at the president's tweet, clearly the facts contradict that the president accomplished more in the ten months than any other president during the same time period, the administration has not been able to get through a tax bill, has not been able to get through repeal and replace of obamacare. it's also true a number of other presidents had quite a few accomplishments, notably harry truman and franklin delano roosevelt. so there's that. another tweet from the president yesterday catching the eye of the public that has to do with the alabama senate race. let's look at it. the last thing we need in alabama and the u.s. senate is a schumer, pelosi puppet weak on crime, weak on the border, bad for our military and great vets, bad for the s

michael zeldin and john dean. john, i want to start with you. again, the breaking news tonight is that jared kushner said he did not recall any campaign contact with wikileaks despite the fact he received an e-mail from don junior had a conversation he had with wikileaks and jared kushner forwarded that e-mail on. so how bigful a jam do you think jared kushner is in tonight? >> well, the i don't recall defense is not a very good one if you actually do know what you're talking about and just don't want to remember or don't want to refresh your recollection. it was tried during watergate. bob hald man the former white house chief of staff went to jail on that specifically. he was convicted of perjury for claiming he couldn't recall. and juries also react to this representative i don't recall because these things get flushed up if somebody gets really pressed in a grand jury. so i think he'd better start refreshing his recollection because he does any more testimony because he's hurting himself badly. >> you know, michael zeldin, counselor, when do

i am poppy harlow. >> i am john berman. we are learning about the man that confronted the church massacre. >> all i am thinking is i have got to get there. >> more from the interview in just a second. >> also the gunman's violent pass. his obsession with his estranged wife's family, and he spoke to them the day of the horrific shooting, and as the air force confirms it failed to relate critical information from the gunman's past that would have prevented him from buying those guns. what is the latest, diane? >> reporter: you know, poppy, at this point investigators are still trying to nail down exactly what the motive was, and they said they don't believe it's religiously or racially motivated, and they think it stems from a domestic dispute. they believe his obsession with his family dispute and in-laws, he was fixated on it, increasingly obsessed with the issue they had. in fact, we are told he sent threatening text messages to his mother-in-law the morning of the shooting. she was not in the church, but, of course, his w
