Stop folks driving because they looked -- >> joe arpaio got censured by the courts and found in contempt because he refused to stop it but lets get to you on this, niger. is this a question of context? >> absolutely not. what it is is a perversion of history. it is senator kamala harris spitting on the graves of thousands of african americans that were terrorized by the most powerful political domestic terrorist organization in the history of our country. >> how so? >> it is her showing -- how s...

Trump, who has such contempt for the rule of law, even he takes seriously the ruling by this judge. so i think that is really a tribute, don, to american democracy and our checks and balances in operation. we should not take this for granted. this is a very good news story, even though it is a small story, and phil is right. this is only round one. its not going to end here, but this is a good day for press freedom and the rule of law in america. >> today was so frustrating for me when they kept...

Some of the old guard fortune 50 companies. they are the ones acting like they are the men in the gray flannel suits. they are the man, so to speak. >> i think theres such a culture out there that is so insulated and so isolated they believe theyre beyond reproach. again, no checks and no balances. but just think about what the "new york times" revealed yesterday. they use this old anti semantic trope when targeting conservative groups to turn them against facebook critic by trotting out the geo...

They want. they are a disgrace to our nation. these are angry people, including bob mueller. they wont even look at all the bad acts and crimes on the other side. a total witch hunt like no other in american history. joining us now is ken starr. he is the author of the book "contempt." also with us is jeffrey tubin. ken, you didnt have it easy as independent counsel and you were attacked. when you read that, the vitriol from the president this morning, how did it strike you? >> it is over the to...

Back to the united states, doesnt take a two minute drive to arlington to do what every president has done since jfk, and, by the way, with all due respect to the congressman, this isnt an us weekly moment. it is one of the most sacred things a president does, veterans day and memorial day. one of the most sacred things that a president does. i remember in 1993 -- or 94, bill clinton was concerned that he was going to be booed, that they were going to turn their back to him, that they were going...
