plus the president's latest hard right turn to try and sell trumpcare 2.0. >> nobody knew that health care could be so complicated. and from selling your internet browser history -- >> what the heck are you thinking? >> -- to rolling back protections for women. how trump's america is taking shape faster than you know. >> would you like to make a change, folks? >> when "all in" starts right now. good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. amid a steady drip of news about trump world's connections to russia and under the shadow of an unprecedented federal probe into possible collusion between a foreign adversary and the sitting president's campaign, the white house and the gop is in full change the subject mode. the scandal is not what we know, it's how we know it. in a throw back to the benghazi days, they've got a familiar scapegoat. former national security adviser
susan rice. >> i believe susan rice abused the system, and she did it for political purposes. she needs to be brought in and questioned under oath. >> in terms of political manipulation of national security information, susan rice, in my view, has done it in the past. when it comes to susan rice, you need to verify, not trust. >> susan rice is the typhoid mary of the obama administration foreign policy. every time something went wrong, she seemed to turn up in the middle of it, whether it was benghazi -- >> what is it that susan rice is supposed to have done? well, republicans say she tried to access the names of u.s. individuals caught up in intelligence surveillance, a process known as unmasking, and somehow abused her position for some nefarious political end. is any of that true? well, today in an exclusive interview with andrea mitchell, susan rice got a chance to answer the allegations herself. >> the allegation is that somehow obama administration
officials utilized intelligence for political purposes. that's absolutely false. >> did you seek the names of people involved -- to unmask the names of people involved in the trump transition, the trump campaign, people surrounding the president-elect in order to spy on them? >> absolutely -- >> in order to expose them? >> absolutely not for any political purposes, to spy, expose, anything. >> did you leak the name of mike flynn -- >> i leaked nothing to nobody and never have and never would. >> in fact, buried down deep in one of those initial reports where few people seemed to have noticed it was the concession that any of rice's unmasking requests were likely within the law. she had the power to do it. in her interview today, rice explained the regular process for making those requests with the intelligence community. it would start with the i.c.'s daily intelligence report. >> there were occasions when i would receive a report in which a u.s. person was referred to. name not provided, just u.s.
person. and sometimes in that context, in order to understand the importance of the report and assess its significance, it was necessary to find out or request the information as to who that u.s. official was. what i would do or what any official would do is to ask the briefer whether the intelligence community would go through its process -- and there's a longstanding, established process -- to decide whether that information as to who the identity of the u.s. person was could be providedo me. so they'd take that question back. they'd put it through a process, and the intelligence community made the determination as to whether or not the identity of that american individual could be provided to me. >> if u.s. surveillance had picked up evidence of illicit communications between russian actors and american individuals, susan rice might have been one of the u.s. officials to find out about it. and if she had, you can bet she'd have questions about which americans were involved. but that basic set of assumptions does not add up to a
scandal, and it's worth while to recap what we actually know. one, since july, the fbi has been investigating the trump campaign for possible ties to russia, which waged a cyber campaign to disrupt the 2016 election and aid donald trump. and, two, the president's national security adviser was forced out a month into the administration for lying to the white house, the vice president, the public about the nature of his contacts with the top russian official in the united states. there, it seems, is your scandal. i'm joined now by the top democrat on the house intelligence committee, one of two congressional committees investigating any trump ties to russia, congressman adam schiff of california. congressman, ken dilanian had this quote that i thought was interesting and made me think. he says, non-partisan former senior intel official to me just now on unmasking fake scandal. it's like iraq wmd, a theory in search of facts. what do you make of that?
>> well, you know, it certainly is a theory in search of a villain and for whatever reason the hard right has always chosen susan rice to be their villain. i think you heard some snippets about that today. i was dra gooned into service on the benghazi select committee. for two years, that committee's purpose was to take down hillary clinton's numbers. but one of the central figures the republicans went after and after and after was susan rice. and after two years they could find nothing that susan rice did wrong. in fact, the only thing susan rice did was go on sunday morning shows and repeat what the intelligence committee best assessment of the early hours of benghazi was. that was consistent with what we were hearing, what susan rice was hearing, and that's all they could find, which was perfectly appropriate on her part. so what it is they have about susan rice that they like to go after her, i don't know. but i do think you're right in your summation at the outset. this is yet another attempt to
distract attention from the russia probe, which they obviously want to defer and deflect as much as they can. >> now, you recently went to the white house after this long, complicated, sort of -- it seemed to me, misdirection play by the chair of your committee, devin nunes, possibly sort of laundering information for the white house that was given to him. he then briefed the white house about it all to maybe back up some kernel of some version of a tweet the president sent out about being, quote, spied on our wiretapped. you've now gone and viewed documents that are classified, i imagine, but can you give us your reaction? was it a, oh, yes, the president was rice thght that he was wiretapped? was it something else? >> i can't go into the contempts of those documents, but i can tell you i haven't seen anything during the course of this investigation that backs up in any way, shape, or form president trump's accusation against his predecessor, that his predecessor wasllegally
wiretapping him orn the more broader allegation that he was surveilling him somehow. there's no basis for that whatsoever. and, you know, "the wall street journal" just reported -- and, again, i don't know if this is accurate, but it would explain a lot of the skull dugry in the white house. they just reported that the white house itself generated these materials that they then wanted to share with the chairman alone and have the chairman report back to the white house. that would explain why sean spicer says it was in the ordinary course of business. of course there's nothing ordinary about it unless the ordinary course of the white house business is trying to interfere in congressional investigations. but nonetheless, it's the first time that anyone has reported that these documents were by and for the white house. and if that's accurate, it would certainly explain a lot of why sean spicer and others in the white house were so desperate to hide their involvement. >> a colleague of yours, congressman castro, earlier
today said that if he had to bet, he would bet that people will go to jail over the end result of the investigation that the fbi is conducting. do you agree with that? >> well, i'm not a betting man. the most i'm willing to say is we're at the very early stage of the investigation. i don't think any of us can tell where it will lead. and i don't think we should pre-judge the outcome. we should instead dedicate ourselves to following the facts wherever they lead. so i'm not prepared to bet on any particular outcome. i just want to make sure that we get to the bottom of this. >> i want to ask you about carter page, an individual who has been often mentioned in reports as a sject of investigation because of his contacts with possibly russian intelligence officials. there's a story that he was a target of russian spies for recruitment, passed them documents, buzzfeed said. and today he responded and said, i didn't want to be a spy he said in an interview with abc news. i'm not a spy. is carter page someone that you
guys are going to have come before the committee? >> you know, he's certainly a person of interest, and i think at the appropriate time, we are going to want him to come before the committee. as has been reported even prior to the report you're referring to, he was in moscow during the course of the campaign, and there are allegations by christopher steele that british former intel officer that is reportedly held in high regard by u.s. intel, that he had clandestine meetings there, was potentially offered a stake in this transaction involving this massive russian oil company. so we obviously want to get to the bottom of those allegations, find out whether there's any truth to them. but at this point, i can't comment on anything we may be learning privately. >> are you confident -- and this strikes me as the most important question at the heart of all this. with the steps the white house has taken to reach in, it appears, according to reports,
reach into american intelligence apparatus to pull out selective bits of information to possibly feed to people, can you be confident that the integrity of the counterintelligence investigation that we now the fbi is undertaking can be protected and secure? >> well, that really depends on the director of the fbi to maintain the independence of that bureau and, even more importantly, to be proactive, not reactive and do everything possible to get to the bottom of these allegations. i think we can fully expect because, you know, one thing you can tell about this president, he is not going to change. he is who he is. so if they're making efforts at the white house to interfere with our investigation, they're going to continue to do that throughout the investigation. whether they will, you know, risk doing that with the fbi, i don't know. but we need to count on the bureau to maintain the integrity of that investigation, and i can assure you no matter what the white house throws at us, we're going to be pressing forward.
we're determined to overcome any obstacle and use every resource we have. and one of the most powerful ones that we have is frankly public rutiny. this is why i've been so adamant that we do as much of this investigation as we can publicly. it's why i continue to call on our chairman to reschedule the hearing with sally yates and directors brennan and clapper. if we do this all in private and at the end of the day we issue a report that was compiled in private, the public is not going to believe it. the public needs to come every step of the way in this investigation. so we need to be as transparent as we possibly can. >> all right. congressman adam schiff. thank you for your time. i'm joined by ned price, former spokesperson, senior director of the national security council under president obama. and the allegation among folks from the white house, the president tweeting this and sympathetic figures in the press, that you and your colleagues in the obama nsc particularly have been engaged in essentially a conspiracy to
tarnish this administration, using access to classified tension. how do you respond to that? >> chris, good to be with you. look, chris, i think what we've seen here is an unfolding tragedy in multiple acts starring president trump and co-starring denial, obfuscation and misdirection. i think the first act of this tragedy actually started late last year when president trump, as the republican nominee, was presented with the high-confidence findings of all 17 intelligence agencies that russia had meddled in our election. he just cast that aside. he denied that as his first tactic. no, no, this was the work of some 400 pound hacker in his drm. the second act, when heas president-elect and these reports of collusion between his team and the russians started to pile up, it was then fake news. this is the work of the enemy of the people. and that takes us, chris, to one month ago today when we saw the third act with the president's baseless tweets that his
predecessor had wiretapped him, apparently gleaned from a breitbart article with no basis in fact that has been shut down by everyone from devin nunes to the fbi director. i'm not going to go into the whole subplot with devin nunes and this amateur theory. that is a tragedy in and of itself. i think with this latest -- with republicans' favorite antagonist who is now featured in the fifth act, susan rice, i think it is clear as day that the fact that we are talking about unmasking as opposed to this administration's yet unexplained and multi-pronged ties to the russian government -- that is in a sense a vindication of the administration's strategy of misdirection. unmasking is not the core issue here. this is a side show, chris. >> one of the things that strikes me here is it's easy to lose sight of, to me, the proximate trigger for all of this, which is what happened with flynn. you know, we knew about the russian -- you know, the assessment of the intelligence
community that it was the russians that conducted, you know, criminal cyber espionage and sabotage. but with flynn, i mean he just lied. he lied about the nature of his calls with the russian ambassador. he didn't have to. he could have told the truth. he lied to the white house. he lied to the vice president. they then lied to the public, and that simple fact, it seems to me the way the president conducts himsend the way the white house talks about it, they feel like flynn got a bad rap as opposed to angry that he lied to them. >> that's exactly right. they're not at all angry that michael flynn was doing these double dealings with ambassador kislyak. they're not at all angry that he lied to key administration officials, including the vice president. what they want us to focus on is the fact that he -- his name was leaked to the public. and, yes, that is a problem. we need to tamp down on these leaks. but, chris, it's not the core issue here, and it's another exhibit in this strategy of misdirection. >> ned price, thank you. >> thank you. still to come, some intense
saber rattling from the white house after north korea launches another missile into the sea of japan. colonel lawrence wilkerson on what donald trump may be getting us into ahead. and after a week and a half -- a week and a half after republicans ignored the president's ultimatum on trumpcare, the president is back with an even more radical version. what we know about trumpcare 2.0 in two minutes. i tried hard to quit smoking. but when we brought our daughter home, that was it. now i have nicoderm cq. the nicoderm cq patch with unique extended release technology helps prevent your urge to smoke all day.
it's the best thing that ever happened to me. every great why needs a great how. a 401(k) is the most sound way to go. let's talk asset allocation. -sure. you seem knowledgeable, professional. i'm actually a deejay. -[ laughing ] no way! -that really is you? if they're not a cfp pro, you just don't know. cfp. work with the highest standard.
lawmakers whom trump has blamed for the initial bill's failure, and in a separate meeting yesterday afternoon, they met with half a dozen republicans in the moderate tuesday group to discuss a possible agreement on a new bill. now, there is still no deal. there is late report that white house just told activists to expect new text of health care law at 8:30 meeting tonight, and compromises have been offered. who knows what those are, but there are reports that say the bill would do away with protections for people with pre-existing conditions, which would undercut one of the trump campaign's central promises. >> let me ask you about obamacare, which you say you're going to repeal and replace. when you replace it, are you going to make sure that people with pre-conditions are still covered? >> yes. we should ensure that americans with pre-existing conditions have access to coverage and that we have a stable transition for americans currently enrolled in
the health care exchanges. >> joining me now is representative dan donovan, republican from new york. congressman, can you explain what the heck is going on process-wise right now because i have to say, i'm confused. are they going to try to strike a deal and get this to a vote in three days before recess? that seems preposterous. >> i don't know what this time frame is, but i do think it's the responsibility of us to get back to health care. we promised the american people we would rectify and repair what harm has been done to them in the health care field. the affordable care act is collapsing upon itself. i don't think what happened recently was a failure. >> congressman, wait a second. can i ask you this, though? you just said the affordable care act is collapsing on itself. >> it is. >> that's just simply -- i understand there are counties that have, you know, insurers pulling out. staten island that you represent, it is not -- it just simply is not a true statement to say it's collapsing on itself, particularly not in the
state of new york. it's just not actuarily accurate. >> this is a national issue, and actually it is happening throughout the nation. you're right, there are -- >> but the congressional budget -- but the congressional budget office and the academy of actuaries both say that it is not in a death spiral. it is not collapsing. they both say that. maybe the actuaries are wrong and the cbo is wrong, but you'd have to cite some other data to suggest they're wrong. >> well, people's policies this year are going to go up 25%. and barack obama was a very good politician. he put all the bad stuff in the affordable care act in the out years when he was no longer going to be in office. the american people are going to look and say, wait a minute. you guys are in office now and my premiums went up 25%. but it's all because of how the affordable care act was structured. >> how do you explain the fact that at the time you say this sort of back loaded stuff -- which, again, i would quibble on the details there. let's just put that aside. at the time this is happening,
the affordable care act is more popular than it's ever been. new polling today has it out at 55% approval, 41% disapprove. it's never done better in polling than it's doing right now. >> there's many people that it helped. there's many people that it harmed. that's why it has to be repaired. the people that are pay 20g thousand dollars in premiums and have a $6,000 deductible and still have astronomical co-pays don't think the affordable care act is working for them. >> agreed. >> we have to help those people without harming the people that the affordable care act helped. >> that strikes me as an interesting and worth wile policy goal, what you just enunciated. it is unquestionable what you said is true. there are people paying extremely high premiums and are not happy with the coverage they're getting. right now the house freedom caucus is negotiating with the president to do away with, say, community rating, essentially to pull back the provision that bans bans on pre-existing
conditions. is that the kind of thing you could go along with? >> not at all. not at all. we have to protect people with pre-existing conditions. we have to protect our seniors. you know, the affordable care act allows insurance companies to judge three -- allows insurance companies to charge up to five times as much. >> right. >> seniors at a time when their incomes are limited and they're in need of health care probably more than they were in their early years don't think that's a relief for them. so we have to be very, very careful. as the president said, this is a complicated issue. we have to make sure we're not harming people as we're trying to repair our health care system to help those who are being harmed by the current system. >> so i just want to be clear here because those seem like really important policy principles for you in terms of the folks that you represent and what role you occupy in the caucus. expanding from the three to one ratio to the five to one rash yes which was part of that initial bill that went down in flames. now they're talking about
getting rid of what's calling community rating that essentially mandates the insurance companies not charge sick people much more money than healthy people. you would not be able to vote for a bill did the things the house freedom caucus is trying to do. am i right in that? >> well, i was a declared no on the last bill. and if it's being tweaked to harm people further -- and i haven't seen anything. as the speaker said this morning, these are concept ideas that are being flushed out. we haven't seen any text, and these things change, i have to tell you. this changes by the hour down here. so until there's something concrete that we have to actually look at to see whether or not we could support, i'd be speculating. so, yeah -- >> i understand about bill language. as principles, community rating is a thing, right? that's something you could say independent of whether the bill language, you support that, and you would oppose an effort to get rid of it? >> we promised that we would not harm people with pre-existing conditions. we have to keep that commitment.
>> that's all i wanted to get on the record, congressman. i appreciate your time tonight. >> thank you so much for having me. coming up, faced with a pressing international crisis, president trump takes it as an unt to make a political attack on his predecessor. we'll talk about that and the breaking news out of north korea just ahead. i let go of all those feelings. because i am cured with harvoni. harvoni is a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. it's been prescribed to more than a quarter million people. and is proven to cure up to 99% of patients who have had no prior treatment with 12 weeks. certain patients can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. before starting harvoni, your doctor will test to see if you've ever had hepatitis b, which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after harvoni treatment. tell your doctor if you've ever had hepatitis b, a liver transplant, other liver or kidney problems, hiv or any other medical conditions and about all the medicines you take
including herbal supplements. taking amiodarone with harvoni can cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. common side effects of harvoni include tiredness, headache and weakness. ready to let go of hep c? ask your hep c specialist about harvoni. in a moment, we are going to show you some very disturbing images from rebel-held area of syria where at least 83 people, including 25 children, were killed in what the state department has identified as a chemical weapons attack. that death toll is expected to rise. it was one of the worst massacres in syria's brutal six-year civil war.
video swing pple choking, fainting, foaming at the mouth, as desperate doctors scramble to tend to hundreds of victims. multiple countries, including the u.s., attributed the attack to the government of syrian president bashar al assad, who's widely believed to have used chemical weapons against syrians in the past. assad's government blamed terrorist groups and called the allegations fabricated. at a photo opp with king abdullah of jordan, u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson, who just days ago said assad's fate would be decided by the syrian people, ignored shouted questions about the attack. later putting out a statement reading in part, it is clear that this is how bashar al assad operates, with brutal, unakbashed barberism, those who defend and support him should have no illusions about assad or his intentions. in an official white house statement, president trump blamed assad but then went on to fault president obama. his statement reading, i quote,
these heinous actions by the bashar al assad regime are a consequence of the past administration's weakness and irresolution. the horrifying situation in syria is one of the several international crises being navigated by a president with no foreign policy experience, who has delegated much of his administration's foreign policy responsibilities to his son-in-law, 36-year-old real estate heir jared kushner, who this week traveled to seerk, and who is being skribded as a shadow secretary of state. when we come back, i'm going to speak with someone with a lot of qualifications, colonel lawrence wilkerson, about the administration's foreign policy especially in light of the breaking news out of the korean peninsula. north korea has launched a ballistic missile off its eastern coast. more on that next. te relief. flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances that cause all your symptoms, including nasal congestion

colonel, i want to read you two statements and get your reaction to how this president is positioning american policy on this incredibly high-stakes issue. this is the president talking about north korea to the financial times. well, if china is not going to solve north korea, we will. and this is rex tillerson just moments ago. north korea launched yet another interimmediate range ballistic missile. united states has spoken enough about north korea. we have no further comment. how do you understand the u.s.-north korea policy at this moment? >> ris, i understand it in a way that i'm deeply concerned about. i've been on and off the korean peninsula as a military professional and diplomat for over 40 years. i've participated in what rex tillerson more or less derided when he was on the peninsula, the policy of strategic patience. i'm sorry but that policy has kept war from the peninsula, well, since 1953. so i'm very concerned that we would suddenly and abruptly, with this very inexperienced
team in the white house, decide we're going to have a new policy and articulate statements that you've demonstrated that policy might include a serious look at preemptive military action or certainly at war on the peninsula. this is not the way to deal with north korea. >> you know, north korea seems like the classic example of no good solutions. but i mean they are a nuclear-capable power. they are on the border of both american forces and south korea, our ally, of course. it's just hard to imagine any kind of military conflict between the nations that isn't catastrophic. am i wrong about that? >> i've exercised all the war plans. i've probably been in more team spirit chief focus exercises than anyone else in the military. yes. the answer to your question is 100,000 casualties in the first 30 days, almost complete destruction of seoul.
we're talking about concentrations of artillery. we couldn't evacuate the american citizens fast enough. the -- so this would be an absolute disaster. we need to stop thinking about a military solution to korea. we haven't thought about that since '53, not really. this seems to be the inexperienced team again that's thinking about these sorts of things. and i have to hope -- i have to hope that with other things that trump has tweeted and talked about, that this is all his idea of establishing a hard negotiating position so he can move away from that as he gains what he wants, or at least partially does so. otherwise, it frightens me. >> you talk about the inexperience here. it's been hard not to scratch your head a little bit, i think, at seeing jared kushner in these meetings. he goes to iraq before the
secretary of state, rex tillerson, does. this is a washington post story about kushner, saying he is a singular, almost untichable role in the white house. and this is thomas mann, a senior fellow at bookinbrooking. it's as if trump is the don. he only trusts his close family members. what do you think about having this 36-year-old son-in-law of the president as a chief emissary navigating american foreign policy? >> my first deep concern is the same concern i have with almost the entire team. the experience quotient, the diplomatic quotient, does not go up when jared kushner walks into the room. that's my concern. these are amateurs. in many cases, they're rank amateurs, and they're dealing with some of the most serious issues that the united states confronts. let's look at what we've got going right now. we've got a potential war with russia. we've got a situation in china and the south china sea that
could ignite. we're deepening our experience in yemen, which ruined egypt. they call yemen nassar's vietnam. we've got a situation in north korea. there's an old theory called conservation of enemies. you don't want too many enemies at one time, and i would submit you certainly don't want too many enemies at one time when you have such inexperience in the white house. >> you know, one of the places you did not even mention in that, which of course is syria -- the news today of the chemical weapons attack. two things. one, i want to did you about the reaction. then i want to ask a substantive question. first, i was pretty struck by the statement of the president of the united states that sort of goes from condemning what is a war crime to essentially blaming it on his predecessor. it just struck me as really shocking tonally. >> i think that's pretty much the policy of this administration is when they can't find any other rationale, they throw it back on the other
administration, whether it's the affordable care act or syria. let me just adhed here. i am very reluctant to jump to conclusions about who, if they were employed, might have employed whatever chemical gas it was. chemical weapons are the weapon of the loser. saddam hussein, for example, when he's being attacked by iran. they're not the weapon of a winner. assad is winning right now. >> right. >> and that's the reality on the ground in syria. so my question is who's trying to ruin the talks? who's trying to destabilize the situation once again? i'm not saying assad wasn't possibly guilty. what i'm saying is we need to find out more about this use, and we need to find out if there are other parties involved. >> i should say that the reporting i've seen, at least from the people on the ground, afp was there on the scene today. the folks on the ground appear to be convinced it was assad's forces. that's not obviously definitive, but that's what the reporting
would suggest. >> i've read many of the reports, and they seem to imply that assad's air force distributed the serren or whatever over a vast tapestry. it's very difficult for me to put myself in assad's position and say, i'm winning. why am a going to pert bait the situation now the wade a use of chemical weapons would. >> do you think there is any path forward in syria that could lead to an end to the just unspeakable brutality and horrific bloodshed there? >> i certainly do, and i think it's the one that we were about, i think, to pursue. and that was to recognize assad, at least temporarily, as the leader of the legitimate state of syria and to negotiate some sort of political transition, however long that might take, with the other people involved. my concern, chris, about iraq and mosul in particular and syria in general is after that sort of stability is achieved, what does turkey do?
what does iran do? what does hezbollah do? what does assad do then? what does iraq do? what does iraq under the influence of iran do? i think the post-conflict situation, if we ever achieve it in syria, may be more serious even than the conflict. >> it's looking very far off tonight. thanks for being with me. appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. still to come, despite the trump administration's series of big legislative failures, they have already enacted tangible change. plus the president gets booed. that's tonight's thing one, thing 2, starting right after this break. when you're close to the people you love, does psoriasis ever get in the way of a touching moment? if you have moderate to severe psoriasis, you can embrace the chance of completely clear skin with taltz. taltz is proven to give you a chance at completely clear skin. with taltz, up to 90% of patients had a significant improvement of their psoriasis plaques.

come on everybody. aleve. live whole. not part. thing 1 tonight, president trump delivered a speech to construction unions today and began by playing to his crowd. >> just look at the amazing talent assembled here. we have iron workers, insulators -- never changes, does it, with the iron workers?

knowledge, that is traitorous conduct because the russians attacked the fundamental institutions of our country, trying to delegitimize and change the outcome of our election and conspiring with a foreign power to attack the foundation of our democratic republic -- that is traitorous conduct. >> that was senator jeff merkley moments ago in his opposition. the confirmation of supreme court nominee neil gorsuch while the white house is under investigation. merkley is still speaking, plans to hold the floor all night. meanwhile another trump pick, jeff sessions, is making his mark as attorney general. the man who once criticized the doj's report on the chicago police even though he said he didn't read it has now, through his justice department, gone to court to seek a 90-day delay in a consent decree to overhaul baltimore's embattled police department. that kind of action by the nation's attorney general is remarkable considering that baltimore's mayor and its police commissioner strongly support the consent decree, along with citizen advocacy groups.
it's not just baltimore. the jeff sessions justice department has ordered a review of federal agreements with dozens of law enforcement agencies including consent decrees with police departments in 14 different cities. these agreements are designed d pattern and practice on discrimination and civil rights and constitutional violations. that's what the attorney general wants to slow down or stop. it's an example of the tange inl impacts the trump administration is having despite its hapless legislative record on signature items like health care. the true impacts of this new administration, next. ♪

president trump signed a bill yesterday that allows internet companies to sell your browser history. internet privacy rules instituted lasyear under the obam martian ha obama administration have been repealed. a regulation protecting alaskan bears repealed. a rule that stops coal companies from polluting streams, a pesticide which has been known to damage children's brains greenlit. also workplace protection for lgbt workers having revoked rules on bathrooms for transgender students in late quarterback. also nullified a workplace injury reporting rule. then with little fanfare as with so many of these, the president revoked obama-era protections for women in the workplace and the state department halted money to the u.n. population fund for family planning. joan walsh and christina grier,
associate professor of political science at fordham university. well, let me start with the browsing thing because to me it's such a perfect example of the way american politics works. we've read like one billion articles about the great uprising of the discontested white working class. here's your -- people of mahoning county, they can sell your browsing history. >> and you don't get anything for it. >> sell your own browsing history. >> it's awful. they've been doing these surgical strikes of incredible cruelty since the first day. you remember i think we were together when the first thing he signed on january 20th was something eradicating an obama fee reduction for mortgages for first-time home buyers. it saved a family about $500 a month which is nice as a first-time home buyer. they come up with thesis thie t.
how do they even know it's there? who went in and said day one, this is what we're doing. they are making people's lives miserable with it. this family planning cut is killing me. that program last year, our funding alone saved 10,000 maternal lives and stopped 100,000 unsafe abortion. they still haven't given any reason for it. george bush cut it because the fund was working in china and it was seen to be somehow associating itself with the one child -- coercive one child policy. that's not even true anymore. >> but what i think we have right now is sort of two sides of this administration. on the one hand, it looks like an abject failure, right? the muslim ban, the muslim plan 2.0, both failures. you couldn't get the aach passed. didn't even come up for a vote. doesn't look like gorsuch is
going to have a difficult time. >> harder time than they thought. nothing smooth. >> failure. on one hand, this man is an absolute disaster, in over his head. no one around him knows what they're doing. then we look at all these minor, micro aggressions that this particular administration is inflicting on the american public. especially so many of the poor people who actually voted for him. these people rely on family planning. these people rely on -- not everyone has a dad who can buy them their first home and give them a loan of a few million dollars, right? donald trump. so i mean -- >> also the people that live in places that have streams and things like that. >> coal. >> this frustrates me so much about the republican senators who will not stand up. don't you have children and grandchildren? all the money in the world cannot help your children have better air than a poor person. you may be able to live in a better neighborhood but at the
end of the day, water can't be oil. and so there is sort of -- they are making everything a scarce resource. they want to privatize everything. think about the future of this planet, if not for yourself, for your families. >> that's one of the places where, what scott pruitt is going to do to the epa, they've put it on notice. that's a place to me they can probably do the most damage from a unilateral perspective. whether it's the coal, the power plant rule, the enforcement of the clean air act which they -- let's be clear. they're required to enforce as a matter law but they can do away with in all kinds of ways. the other part of that is whether that packs a political punch. >> you know, i think it might, if -- the thing is it's got to get really bad in order for it to pack a political punch. if pruitt's stripping away of regulations and doing things through agency rules really does degrade the quality, you could have worse air in coal country
and in the rust belt than elsewhere. >> whether that's communicated in a -- >> that's the thing. it is getting bad, but it's not articulated in a way where it's like, when you are defunding the parks department and then giving someone a measly $78,000 check after you've taken away billions of dollars, that is not necessarily -- the visual makes it seem for his supporters like, oh, he's actually keeping his word. he's not keeping his paycheck. >> i also don't understand -- the budget is going to get ironed out in congress. the congress has the power of the purse. i never understand why they go after the national parks. also if there's one thing americans red and blue, conservatives love it's the parks. >> when we go to the parks. >> absurd elitist undertaking. thank you very much. i have a couple book tour events here in this great city, new york. for my new book "the calling of a nation." tomorrow night, i will be at the
when i was a child we grew our own rice here and. we never had to buy any the same with peanuts and millet. no days crops are threatened by rising sea levels salt water is destroying more and more fertile land this dike was built five years ago and provide some relief was money ignoring works for an environmental n.g.o.s he advises the women and help them get money from the un back to green climate fund he also helps farmers here. well the vegetable growers also want to benefit from the fall short of what i'm going to do for them they need to acquire new skills you've helped us so far but you mustn't leave us alone now there's more to do the money for this project did not come from seneca but from an international fund. you know. the soil the women are working on is still salty but they want to find out if they can resume farming here. they've planted
a small patch of rice as an experiment. rule they'll know in about two months at the soil is recovering and is fertile again. a tanker truck appears the driver has evidently just dumped a load of human waste. yama is angry. that this is not good. it's destructive it just rubs the ecological balance it's toxic. the truck doesn't have a number of plate the driver wants to hide his face. forrester moment is also a lieutenant in the army he takes the driver's i.d.n. driver's license and discords the truck to the police station. despite all the difficulties the women have already achieved
a lot. year ago the local authority gave the women's cooperative the land they've been working on it used to be follow the forty women share the forehead terror plot . and after the rainy season the donors are going to drill a well they'll teach the women how to grow vegetables and then they'll really get to work. with their. women in senegal or at a great disadvantage because only men and here at land the project is a rare opportunity for the members of the women's collective to earn their own money. in the evening they drive to the coast where they planted mangroves two years ago this too is a project for which they got support from the climate fund. the women cut and plant shoots from the burgeoning mangroves it's hard work but this
reforestation project is bearing fruit. migratory birds stop by again and shellfish have come back. in giant is thinking about farming oysters among the mangroves that would combine environmental protection with female empowerment and what could prove to be a profitable business in. their lives at nations climate change conference is the most important climate conference in the wild it's often justified. as cope all the conference of the parties delegates from around one hundred ninety five countries come together to agree on joint political action to mitigate climate change this year over twenty thousand people are expected to attend mt knows more. thank you the delegates are not there to hear themselves talk but to come up with concrete plant i reporter met with a participant from africa and asked him what the conference means for the continent
let's hear what he has to say. thank you. so. what are you doing african you did not have a voice and were not there. so the initiative was to bring all you young youth organizations across africa. for. every year having a drought manual event in them that is not time that isn't. needed to bail you out. in the future always there and they will now talk about this in
bring on young people. this within a calamity as a way of motivating an interpreter not our culture among the young people because packaging it that way meant that through our more young people interested who are jobless in africa getting into for example like going to catch and therefore while i'm there money down also and opting for the impacts of climate change. i'm hopeful that the leadership that will be provided by underline michael and mark ron in this problem would will consoli did. the wildly does a quantum make powers the developed countries to recommit and physically to see that the future of this globe the future of our dinner vision and the future of the younger generation is pretty soft because this is quite we don't want to be you
know we don't want to make telemetry a few years we have enough a few years from a conflict. we humans can't protect the climate by ourselves we need trees how and why this talk about to help to cool down our planet yet all over the world trees are being cut down to provide construction materials for houses but in looking at fossil a group is doing its bit to stop deforestation by reviving an ancient construction technique that doesn't require any wood and best of all guess what even when the outside temperature is sweltering the inside of the building remains pleasantly cool let's have a look. can the mud homes help save trees. yes they can especially here in africa
region a swelling population has led to a huge increase in deforestation roofs are made of imported corrugated iron and boy that's expensive and doesn't provide insulation. kanye and sorry you know a farmer from. rediscovered an ancient construction technique the newbie involved. forests are protected as builders only use bricks and mortar locally made from earth and water. it's a cost effective sustainable way of building and it creates a market for local masons. the houses are cool in hot weather and warm on the coldest of night. more than two thousand such houses have been built so far in burkina faso mali senegal and neighboring countries.
like that. if you are also doing your bit tell us about it. is it our website or send us a tweet. during your bet. your stories. coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world but only a very low point two percent of the bins actually end up in the cup the rest up in the bin that is such a west of resources it's also detrimental to the climate as agriculture and coffee cultivation contribute to the amount of greenhouse gases. from germany wanted to five. where the coffee waste and it came up with a brilliant idea he made. coffee cups from coffee waste how does it work we had a look at this climate you know at what.
it can be drunk in many different ways black with milk as a stress zero or a cappuccino coffee is one of the world's favorite drinks. germans consume an average seven kilos of coffee every year. this berlin cafe is themed on the popular bean even the cups are made of recycled coffee grounds. we focus on making very high quality coffee i'm really proud to use the cafe form cups from coffee form which is a berlin based project which very proud to support. the cafe form company is the brainchild of product designer union lush now he invented the recycled cups and collects the coffee grounds for them from the cafés he supplies the cups to. he needs a kilo of coffee grounds to produce fifteen of his durable lightweight cups they're already being used in ten berlin cafes. i had
a lot of different questions like can we pour in hot water and then there were half a coffee. break or. is there like a double portion of coffee coming inside my coffee. no they're not out of all and for the first few weeks of use they continue to give off a slight scent of coffee but after a while the only hint of what they're actually made of is their somewhat unusual appearance. anyone wanting to take one home can buy it on location. a cup and saucer cost fifteen euros and they seldom need replacing. but we've broken none so far seems to be virtually impossible to break them we wash them hundreds of times least ten times a day they're yeah really really solid they're very very strong lation
i hit on the idea of using coffee grounds as a raw material while studying in italy for three years he worked on getting the correct composition there was no shortage of the basic ingredient coffee grounds usually end up in the trash after brewing. if you dried careful you get a very fine powder from it which is make a good replacement for different fibers and can be added. yeah stretch. polymers to a very solid new material. the recycled cups are pressed into shape by a cologne company the grounds are mixed with wood and cellulose which preserves and stabilizes them the cups are also good for the environment when decomposing organic waste produces harmful greenhouse gases so recycling the coffee grounds is beneficial for the climate. yes.
lesnar can't handle demand for his cups alone anymore a special needs workshop organizers distribution for him they currently shipped fifteen hundred cops to nine countries every month the cops are sold via an online platform this consignment is destined for japan. and you leon lashley has no shortage of plans for developing a startup so next year there will be this new portable cup coming out and then also trying to connect coffee shops with each other a good kind of refund system or people coming in with their kind of portable cups the young investor has also used his extremely tough coffee creation to fulfill a long held dream of here's a skateboard with a slight scent of coffee. for over twenty years mozambique was rocked by
a civil war in that time poachers killed nearly all the large animals in the tsunami national park today twenty five years later the park is being repopulated partly by reintroducing our animals from other regions it's not as easy as it sounds though but sharon will tell us more there is settlements from other national parks a huge logistical effort i reporter followed one such child support from the north of the country although it down to the park. some forty five thousand watch a buck graze in the flood plains of the girl glisten national park in mozambique but that's actually too many for the grass to sustain itself today the animalism are jumpy than usual. on the edge of the savanna something is afoot. staff from the southern african group peace pocs out to get them
a huge structure with high walls would guide the antelope into a cattle truck. as part of our prices so in total we'll move around one thousand four hundred animals from here which includes water back and will also move two hundred reback this year at. the peace and quiet of the bush he shouted as the huns begin. a helicopter circles groups of what's a buck and drives them in the direction of the truck. those on the ground gets much closer to the frightened animals.
when on my bird the head of peace boxes come along too he spent years helping to prepare this initiative. always making quite a big effect across a good animal's back to a book that has been completely wiped out of animals there's no animals at all so what happened is and there was a civil war of a lot of over sixteen years and as a result a lot of the wildlife was there some at that. time and to to bring back the animals you have to come to a place like go to go to the national park catch animals and then take them all the way to your box a goal being rehabilitated. the girl goes on national park was one of the first in mozambique to be repopulated after the civil war ended two decades ago the effort paid off today yet even lions here and the park has enough animals to give away. the water back now begin the adjoining to is a navvy national park it's a sixteen hour nonstop right. here in the meantime
staff from peace parks already has an r.v. meeting with was am picking officials it is cus how to develop infrastructure to make the park more easily accessible but along your sotto director general of mozambique's national parks supports the project do. you know there is a national strategy that. states here is that we want to rebuild all the protected to a helper such a comical development off was something as yet as a navvy has nothing. to build for the future ranges and transferring the animals alone would cost two point five million dollars apiece parks his children much of the financial burden but it's also looking for donors. there are people even both in and around the park most of them impoverished farmers
a fisherman they often clear the bush for farmland by setting fire to it because ervin ist hopes to discourage that by ensuring the park provides a new source of employment. the next day the truck carrying the what's a buck finally reaches his destination despite the long journey the animals appear in good condition and as soon ready to explore the new surroundings. but is just one step on the long road to recreating the natural paradise that the navi once was. it will take time you think is this very few animals left to rebuild their wildlife bring it back to where it was it will take anything fifteen to twenty years to really get it back to just having reinstated the wallace as it was before. over the next few years the water books to be joined by some seven thousand five hundred animals from other african parks and so gradually the
navvy will come back to life now let's go to port harcourt in nigeria to be for size it's painful it's all industry i need a major center of commerce so far environmental protection has meant very little and many take little notice but very few exceptions some of the people living in port harcourt have built their houses to a climate friendly standard let's take a look. i really have challenges affectionately on huge presidents amongst them our poor housing conditions and power supply just over half of the population in the country has access to reliable electricity and even when the power is on it's very expensive only a small portion of people will be able climate friendly energy. besides that in many areas people don't have access to serve drinking water and good sanitation
a team of green architects and engineers wants to change that in southern nigeria they build low energy houses these houses are designed to be climate friendly and cost efficient they have him built self colin systems use clean solar energy and we use their water to date sixteen adults and twenty two children live in what they call the eco village one of the resident faith tells us how his life has changed since he moved eighteen miles away with some of his neighbors for now i have a sitting room. but from all it an environment there is no community stopping me here even in the minute i come back i want out of my house nobody moralists me in fact this place is very very green. the houses run completely our renewable energy that doesn't emit carbon dioxide they only need one third of the
amount of energy of a normal house and half the amount of water so the residents are also a servant a lot of money if i was living monthly i was paying one thousand strong dollars every month and there what are you buying what are we half what i see we don't buy any water and light we have been using the. light yeah the architect also took care of temperature control. for example compressed blocks keep the interior school because if i were to do it is that one or two of bricks and then would cement blocks and basic knowledge to see how to compare intense software climate control looking to houses a room event later from two sides yes i don't have a free flow of. faith and his family are thrilled to be living in the eco village
and he would never move out again so far there are eight apartments each wath fifteen thousand euros but the project leaders want to bill much five. or the next. so maybe that oprah poor datasource is our government you know to our plight on the way to maybe get out there for up all this crowd conditions in which they live in this in the house this might be costly at first sight but only been kallio hopes that more and more people will invest in houses but in the long run the money and also help the climate. well that's all the time we have full for this week's climate special we hope of inspired you to help protect our climate and get involved in any environmental projects i would like to share your story to get in touch with us via mail a social media for now goodbye until next time my name is sarah my money as always
it was a pleasure that you could join sharon and i today thank you for watching and i look forward to seeing you again nymex edition of eco africa bye bye from abuja in nigeria.

is about my life story about how often i've moved and how i've lived in many different countries and i've moved a live in times. oh yes and. it's actually it's twelve now because i just moved again two weeks ago my home has never been down to one place not an item but to the people i really know somebody mentioned. after returning to germany in her teens marquis studied here at the university of popular music and music business and money she graduated with a bachelor's degree in pop music design did that entail learning how to become a successful musician. it's been shunned us my music she did i do think it's possible to study this music i learned a lot about songwriting and i really developed during that time. and i think many artists lack the time to grow this university was perfect for me because i was able to try out different styles. and i was able to do jam sessions with all sorts of
she released her first four track the key in two thousand and seventeen which meant having to set up her own label with a fellow student this was also in response to her experience with the major record companies. i may get that instrument is the several labels were interested but then they'd say let's do a couple more sessions with different producers and see if we want to keep the chorus or if we can find a different bridge or if we want to remove the guitar there might die it's in the yucatan and also name cut and but i thought the music was good so we said fine we'll release it ourselves and see what happens is after. the release and this is a must see and. you know.

for the street next on time stephanie doesn't limit himself to vintage after around . the times has cherish the bling bling we don't dress the way we used to drive but there is always the i would be ideal freedom on that yeah i mean used to be using his every day. to retrospective in berlin presents a designer who broke fashion history now gianni versace is fashion is at least twenty years old anything but old fashioned. we turn our attention now from a famous fashion designer to a famous lighting designer luzzi called dove brings together centuries old bohemian glass art with modern lighting technology in her creations of her earned her a number of accolades including designer of the year in the czech republic well we wanted to see more of her work so we visited in her studio in prague.

a move to paris that was back in two thousand and nine. in the meantime she's returned to prague where she has her studio. for her creativity involves teamwork designing a lamp is a complex task takes time she says sometimes more than a year. the source is essential for lights and when i start designing i always keep in mind what kind of source i need and i build up the concepts based on the source you have. filament volves so so many different kinds of source sources that you can play with. this year luci of cold over was a special guest of the i am cologne furniture trade fair. she was invited to design does house and you will installation there present selected designers ideas about living space. it comes as no surprise that in color of his interior lights plays
the main role some of her lighting fixtures were created especially for the i am. i wanted to show people what light can do in the interior in terms of atmospheres i think that if you are at home. the ideal case you should recover you should feel safe you should be able to recharge your batteries and lights shoots should. provide you this this conference. call of as lamps are manufactured one hundred fifty kilometers southeast of prague and young stein in the broker's company's glass factory. when it was founded in the early nineteenth century it made every day glass objects. in one nine hundred ninety seven young rebel but the factory modernized it and developed a new product line. he's been working with lucy it called of us since two thousand
now she's the company's art director. i follow my instincts. basically i try to express what i have inside and this is this like creates are so feeling that you think that you have something to say and i'm trying to express by objects and by lights. and then if the under the other people if they understand what i have to say and they cherish the work and the objects then it's like an added value. in your search for something new to cold of often pushes the limits of what's possible and in doing so she creates timeless and poetic shapes of life. with all the religious conflicts in the middle east and the rhetoric surrounding the global war on terror it is quite easy to forget that christianity judaism and
islam are inevitably intertwined at least that is what one finish for tara for would like you to see all our call in maine and has brought out a book combining photographs of churches mosques and synagogues in a kind of photographic religious utopia regardless of your beliefs it's hard to argue the beauty of these pictures. the pantheon in rome. the i.s.o. fia in istanbul. and the star temple synagogue in india. often you can't tell whether it's a mosque a church or a synagogue till the second or third look. centuries old houses of worship are all a color mine and subjects before he presses the button the chemistry has to be just right. when i go in i need to have the kind of enlightenment of the space or in light mint of the light so there's something
but i like to do it on a lot of my work is not photography architecture i mean struck to get. the native of finland discovered his fascination for houses of worship in two thousand and thirteen in istanbul he spent months photographing must after that he spent more than three years visiting over fifty sacred sites all around europe the result was a book of photos and an exhibition titled sacred spaces in the house. the walls and spaces themselves became part of the installation. there were twenty seven works in the exhibition and there are twenty five colors. so it becomes. a coal mine is a photographer of what's known as the helsinki school studying in the finnish capital in the one nine hundred ninety s. he began to specialize in images of spaces and facades. he made his name which have
involved and dresses for the occasion the women even don heavy old fashioned wooden skis and attempt a salon in long dresses or we went there to see for ourselves how and why this small town embarks on such a journey to another era. it looks as if time has stood still. as if condor steak is stuck in the pre-war belly. once a year for a whole week at the end of january the entire village turns back the clocks. one county you really get a feel for what it was like in the bella puck i love that me and. look at the women walking right now that's what's so great and it's the passion of the bella park for the better pokey stink it's called i think it's simply wonderful the whole atmosphere and the way people are parading around the sides of the pot as these were it's fabulous to feel like an elegant lady almost the whole village gets into
the spirit of the ballet park even the local supermarket gets a different name. the contents of the bar magic are based on recipes from the time and of course there's absinthe and aniseed flavored spirit that was all the rage at the turn of the century. the baker to has turned back the clock he's waffles are made from only flour and water chocolate is lucky used to be two. chocolates in the belly of weren't so sweet they were made of seventy percent cocoa and were slightly grainy so not so smooth. thought. but what really gets you an uncanny feeling of time travel all the clothes the man in the top hat some titles and the women in their fancy hats and gowns back then the wealthier women would have changed their outfits several times a day they could choose from
a whole series of local trance makers but now people have to go further afield which. meant that i had my dress made by a tailor in poland the cost between five and six hundred euros apiece depending on outfit and fabric and i would be happy if we simply. and to these lovely dresses this far to me the little black coat comes from the states and the furs from scotland the company i always bring things back from my travels that i can combine with other items of course. one of the most beloved events of the bella park week is the scream of course it goes without saying that the outfits are just as they used to pay. has come here for the first time she found her outfits in the classified ad section. outside moscow but i tried it out once before on the slopes that it's going to be an adventure no doubt about it if you wipe that stands but we'll give it
a try to be as i thought. there was any chance of steering the ballot box so skiers go up the mountain on forty. it's hard to get the hang of skiing with century old equipment but this event isn't about speed and performance so much is fun. for celebrity games usually a good skier but she needs a lot of practice. a cot not an inch of carving it's about weight distribution and you need to concentrate more on think you. less adventurous partaken often in team rich ladies used to meet to drink tea and the sandwiches and cakes first of all to gossip about other rich waiters. even here there are some who find it hard to leave the digital era behind completely.

but there are plenty of other things to do for the adventurous traveler. with its different styles of architecture is one of the most beautiful cities in the mediterranean one of its most famous landmarks is a lighthouse which dates from the the mission era the harbor and deal town behind are very lively in the evening when the locals and tourists throng to the restaurants and bars during the day the area is quite peaceful. but simply because the sun is a local tour guide. your thinking is that you can read the history of the city from its architecture and you can see who occupied it over the centuries and fed off the. beginning with the present teens then the phoenicians and then the ottomans for the among those. the byzantine wall was built during the early
middle ages remains from the previous while the rector during the hellenistic period are still visible. the church of ideals nikolaus says an illustration of the influence of different religions and culture as it has both a bell tower and the minaret. of the first the mosque to be built after the ottoman conquest in the seventeenth century is now an exhibition space. the venetians built in your ear shipyards to repair ships in winter they can be seen clearly from the water and early afternoon is a good time to go on a boat trip the boat has a glass floor which makes it easier to see what's in the water oh see the article in the records of that you'll get if you're very sick to. his rescue it's in the second world war by the german warfare. like a car going through

it's not really possible to simulate all that on a computer yet it's unruly and is in longish move. only uses the computer to save his work and control a few instruments he's fascinated with the sounds he can tease out of objects as he experiments with them. some years ago he inserted an extra pedophile's between the hammers and strings in his piano. in the meantime he's become known for this gentle atmospheric sound. as if you live in the highlands that's certainly one of the secrets behind the various details that i incorporates and files as well but mostly it's the fingering and the way my fingers distribute the volume the way i hit a given nodes have been torn do i had the key at. back or at the front. door. to my you might think it doesn't make any difference if but as crazy as it seems

a spectacular view on the left lake. and on the right. that mountain was a favorite of commute for you the second he came up here off to enjoy the view and at peace and quiet that wouldn't be so easy anymore today this mountain is everyone's favorite. god why here after all it's pretty crowded i think i mean for us my wife says we're going somewhere i go it's that. i want to get away from the city for at least one day during my travels here and i asked my friends the best place to go and they suggested here and so far it's been more than worth it i think it makes a magical they actually up in the mountains and in the in the clouds yeah that's really pretty. well and now i want to go over there. because behind those clouds there's
function it was for the king alone. include which spent a total of ten days here in the palace in late september eight hundred eighty five . after sunset on thirty five servants had to light the candles in the palace. after that they all had to vanish and the king was all alone here. in the. interests. makes most famous castle is in the region near to some noise french time it attracts one and a half million visitors a year. for its architecture drew inspiration from medieval councils. not far away is linda hawkes the only polish not fix or completed and it's the only one he lived in for any length of time. you can only reach the king's house in shock and on forty it's at an elevation of
one thousand eight hundred meters. in question. from outside it looks like a royal hunting launch inside it's outrageously flamboyant especially the lavishly decorated turkish. his life king prefers his mountain retreat to his royal residence in munich. that one's mine cable cars are a wonderful invention. all in all there are about two dozen mountains in the bavarian alps where getting up and down is a snap as we'll see on this edition's travel tip. it's
a cable car. takes vacationers to the region second highest peak. rises. more than twenty six hundred meters above sea level. there are thrills and chills here on the sky walk. to still walkways with a thousand meter drop. it if you want you can hike up the mountain there's a well maintained system of trails around the alps it's a lot with every step the air gets thinner hikers need to be sure footed and have plenty of stamina. hikers need proper climbing gear to get all the way to the summit it's only reachable over what's called the via ferrata a protected climbing route with fixed ladders and cables. every summer tourists who don't have the proper gear or who have misjudged their limits have accidents here.
thirteen hundred meters above the town of mitten vod is a structure shaped like a gigantic telescope it's an information center and vantage point even more impressive is the panorama from the best. nearly twenty four hundred meters high as you can already see the way up mazing. only experienced hikers should be appear. at nearly three thousand meters. is germany's highest peak. another way to scale the countryside is on the railway it takes half
a million tourists up the mountain every year. it terminates at a viewing deck at the summit with a spectacular view over more than four hundred peaks. make a violation it's no surprise that it's often called the varian caribbean the color of its water is an intense turquoise lake it's one of the various most popular water sports estimations. but as the saying goes tourists destroy the places they love that's true here in the total and region to nature is suffering under the throngs of visitors on weekends it's bumper to bumper traffic in the village of functions each. ollie's green but it's
here when visitors to the lake need help he's been a volunteer for the local water rescue service for thirty years. like. y'all a kid oh yeah there it is. it was the water temperature momentarily about seventeen degrees celsius you have to use a beautiful lake here a well developed network of hiking trails that attracts tourists more and more of them when is it too much of a good thing as of emma's making just come to lake fashion at the weekend when the weather's good and you'll see right away there's too much going on to feel there aren't enough parking spaces that think you know. everywhere from three in the past five or six years it's skyrocketed i think people also come on weekdays. in the summer it doesn't matter if it's sunday or monday on we locals sometimes find the masses of tourists unbearable. just come in what in the tourists do to keep it
relaxed and as beautiful as it is right now. you've got it well currently with my what can a tourist do observe the same rules you'll observe in daily life. whether a parking places like an open fire here especially by the light. and. don't find a parking space or even turn in hard on the road you can pack with me if you need. to stop drive somewhere else by the way you might have better luck and probably taught me a good bit what damage are the tourists doing wonderfully guessing that hiking trails are under strain people don't always walk on the sign posted trails but march across the country sign up to trying for a shortcut is not doesn't help either. you think is that the only side of it the tourists also spend money here. this is not because that's the other side of the coin we're a tourist region if you many people and their livelihoods from tourism and almost
everyone. so we have to find a compromise that everyone has to sit down together with but it is hard and we're not the only region desperately seeking a solution. what would you like to see happen. i'd like everyone involved the community land wants the state of bavaria and the be very in state forest to which all these belong to sit down at a table and say we need to plan for the future of our concept. that you cannot take a look. sure but this crap over your head. i can't see anything just. tradition is a source of community when there is a celebration in the village of everyone takes part.
it's a catholic holiday the feast of corpus christi. across the various developed catholics headed out in festive procession through their villages and towns. if you want to experience something like this you have to plan it there are several catholic holidays on the calendar or you'll get a chance to see people in traditional attire. when it's summer in europe it's winter in argentina and that's where our bureau it all better to live he shows us his wintry hometown mendoza in a new episode of our meet the local.
hello i'm roberto from endos a city of sun and good wine as we mendocino is call it i'll show you are. allowed to go. that's your windows meadows that is the capital of the province of the same name we have just under one hundred fifteen thousand residents now we're in the city center on independence plaza. the. i look around if you like nature you'll love mendoza i have a band is at our doorstep and since eight hundred ninety six on the west side of town a huge park. for my. friends
and family is meteo and the park is great if you want to get some exercise at the board. plantations as far as the eye can see when our rooms are planted here mendoza is one of the world's most important plum exporters. a new one they are also global players when it comes to wine you know a trip to mendoza is complete without a visit to one of the many wine or is about seventy percent of the wine produced in argentina comes from mendoza province. and
not just red and white wine we also make sparkling wine. now that i'm at a winery of course i'll have some i mean it was the best part of the tour. so goodbye from mendoza i hope to see you sir or not and then go. back to the region like elsewhere in bavaria you'll find many farms in the valley and up in the mountains much of the bavarian way of life has its roots in peasant tradition. until the nineteenth century more than half the population lived on farms big and small ones. in open air museum is a great way to learn about that history it's best to take part in
a guided tour like i do. high above lake you'll find more than sixty historic farms from the very they were all removed from their original locations and rebuilt here and so were the pine hots for centuries farmers brought their herds up here in the summer for grazing. all this building from fifteen zero seven the dairy made lived there she took care of the animals. and because the animals were valuable assets of the farm it was important to get them through the summer safe and sound. that you'll still find about seven hundred alpine pastures and up
a very for her it's graze in the summer and many of the alpine hots will come overnight guests. a wedding party maybe i can join the picture. oh. well i'm going to explore here a bit longer in the meantime we have our e-mail for you our viewer from hong kong sent us this video from times thank you victor and from of area.
now i'm at lake call for my second lake of the day. there's probably no other bavarian landscape that's been painted as often as the area around lake the color of light even lent this landscape its name the blue land. at the beginning of the twentieth century. was a trendy meeting point for young artists to pay. interest would rise to fame as the expressionists and with them. the young artists who were attracted to les carlo painted very differently from the way people were used to. provoke a live brightly colored landscapes. they called their group double our high
to the blue rider. their most important representatives were two friends vastly condensed. and funds mark. you can see not only the subjects the young expressionists painted but also the results here in the funds mark museum. most of the words exhibited here are by fans mark and his contemporaries. here's a tip try looking for their subjects yourself follow the sign posted our trail through the village of cockle. you learn about the history of the blue rider.
and plan a side trip to the neighboring town of moore in our. plants marc and his fellow painters often spent the summer months in this house where vassili kandinsky and his partner gabriella mentor lived it was the meeting place of the avant garde of the time. wasn't just the heart and soul of the house it's thanks to her that many works by can do and the group survived the nazi dictatorship. she hid the works in her basement. her house was a place where visitors were always welcome. it's a museum and a memorial site just as gabby elementary would have wanted.

fruition and see stories of kids that's going through the same thing i went through, it makes it even more like yes, we did this. this is why we should have did it. >> but there is a lot that has got lebron james fired up off the court. listen to what he says about living while black in america. >> no matter how big you can become or no matter what you do in the community. no matter what you do in your profession, being african american in america is always tough, and they always going to let you know that you are the n-word no matter who you are. >> is there a run for office in his future? >> someone tried to recruit a lebron to run for president, they said listen, they got no one. if you don't run, trump is going to win. would you run? >> well, in that case i may. >> this is the interview that you don't want to miss. lebron james, one on one. thank you.
A recap of the day's news.
they brought this together and brought it to me. i was like absolutely. you can't get nowhere in life without help. >> you were i think a third grader who interviewed you for teen vogue, right? and asked you about all the challenges and about the single mom. right? i relate to that. i grew up a single mom who is my hero. is that one of the reasons this is important to you? >> absolutely. it's one of the huge reasons that it's important. because everyday struggle me and my mom had to go through at that age. being in the third or fourth grade. for us to be in a position where we can see stories of kids that's going through the same thing that i went through, it makes it even more like yes, we did this. this is why we should have did it. >> how do you conquer those fears? jaden was his name, talked about hearing gunshots and that sort of things, being tempted by drugs and all those things. how do you think -- how do you get them to understand that's not the path they have to take? >> i think being in a support
system and that's what this is all about. i think for me, when i did go to school, or when i was playing little league sports, you know, being around kids and being around people that have fun and kind of speak the same language as you, it allows you to kind of escape away from the drugs and the violence and the gunshots and things that go on on an everyday basis, and that's what we're here for. i'm opening the schools to be able to get these kids minds and bodies away from -- we made the hours of being in school longer until five. >> that's a long time. >> we want them here so we can let them know not only do we want you here, but we really do care about what happens with you. >> people say he's an athlete. athletics are big, but this is a stem school. it's science, mathematics and reading. >> all that. math, reading, social studies, all the way down to gym class,
friends flow growing up. it was pretty cool. >> and even bedtime. 7:30, 8:00. >> yeah. none of that for me. >> i'm glad you mentioned that. i've been watching you, especially -- for a long time. this is not the first time i've interviewed you. i interviewed for your website and other things you did. but there's been something has changed in you over the last year or two. is it what's going on in the country racially? is it politically -- political? >> i think it's a little bit of everything. i think it starts with the trayvon martin situation, and the reason it starts with that, i believe, is because having kids of my own, having boys of my own, it hit home for me to see and learn the story and to think if my boy left home and he never returned. you know? that kind of -- that kind of hit a switch. that kind of hit a switch for me. and from that point on, i knew
that my voice and my platform had to be used for more than just sports. >> right. good for you. good for you, man. you said that your boy, your boy never returned home, but then there are people, kids are returning home. you think about the kids being taken away. the same thing that, your heart breaks when you think someone comes over, they want a better life and their kids are being taken away from them. >> i can't imagine that. and we've always grown up saying this is the land of the free and opportunity here in america, and to be a parent, to be a father, to be a husband and to think that you can have a beautiful family one day and the next day they can be taken away, it's something that you never ever could imagine. >> you were talking about athletics. right? how you think this president is dividing. i think about the kids now. there are kids who are selling water. i interviewed a little kid who wanted some action figures, and he was out doing stuff with his mom and he got the cops called
on him. how do you tell these kids eve within that when you're just living while black, how do you get them to keep going? >> i think -- >> you know what i'm talking about, right? >> i think the best way to tell them to keep going is no matter how successful you could become, no matter dwwho you are when you're an american kid male or female, you're always going against obstacleobstacles. you can allow it to effect you and for you to degrade, or you can allow it to empower you even more, and to rise above it. i think if we look at some of the greatest leaders of our time, you look at muhammad ali and martin luther king, they never let the diversity down them. they always used it to say okay, this is even more motivation. this is even more a way for me to even be more powerful, and
they're the reason we're here today. >> your challenges become goals, and your haters become your motivators. >> absolutely. >> so you were talking about the -- using athletics to divide people. >> yeah. >> you heard what the man in charge -- what the president said about marshawn, about steph, about, you know, it seems like it's -- >> kaepernick. >> yeah. men of colors who have means and a platform. what's up with that? >> well, it's wrong. it's not up. it's down. for him to like i say, use sports to kind of divide us is something i can't sit back and not say nothing. >> you tweeted about a couple of these. >> yeah. >> you tweeted about when steph curry, you called him a bum because he -- but steph had already said i'm not going to the white house. >> he already said he wasn't going. he tried to use it after that to
say you're not invited. you can't uninvite me to something i said i wasn't going to go to. steph curry, great kid, great family, great father, and so many different kids -- so many kids white, black, hispanic, all different races love what he's doing and rightfully so. there's no reason for anyone to ever attack him. and that's -- i felt that. >> whenever there's something like he's in trouble, he can't wiggle his way out of something, he'll bring up the national anthem and kneeling or standing. do you think he uses black athletes as a scapegoat? >> at times and more often than not, i believe he uses anything that's popular to try to negate people from thinking act the positive things they can be doing and try to get our minds to not be as sharp as possible right then. either from football players kneeling. look at kaepernick who was
protesting something he believed in and he did in the most calm way possible. very respectful. he did his due diligence. everyone knew why he did it. look at the nfl players still kneeling. you look at steph and marshawn lynch and all these instances why he's trying to divide our sport, but at the end of the day sport is the reason why we all come together. >> yeah. what do you -- i just wonder where we go from here, because to a lot of people charlottesville was it. i mean, you tweeted, i think you said is this what our country is, make america great again? i think that was for everybody like all right, that's enough. i can't believe this. >> absolutely. i mean, we all felt that. it didn't matter what color you are to feel that tension, to feel like our great country, you know, that we all wake up every day in the land of the free as we believe with great
opportunity to be even more than what people even expect you to become for that to happen, you just felt like that was -- that was kind of the tipping point. >> will you -- i guess maybe you were surprised. maybe you weren't. the whole n-word incident at your house when it was painted? >> i don't know if i was surprised. i don't know if i was hurt. i don't know if i was disappointed. it was so many different emotions. more importantly, it was the conversation that i had to have with my boys that it was -- that hurt me. but at the same time it also enlightened me and also knew that no matter as i stated, you know, when i did an interview after that, that no matter how big you can become, no how successful you are, no matter what you do in your community or profession, being african american in america is always tough, and they always going to let you know that you are the n-word no matter who you are, and that was just a reset.
>> even when you have lebron status, lebron money. >> it doesn't -- >> you think it's harder when you see the incidents about being black, just living, do you think it's harder now or we're just seeing it because of cell phones? >> i think it's always been there. but i think the president in charge now has given people -- they don't care now. they throw it in your face now. >> would you ever run for office? >> run for office? >> would you ever be a politician and run for office? >> i don't think so. i don't think so. i don't know. >> i'm being serious. if someone tried to recruit a lebron to run for president, they said will listen, they've o one. if you don't run, trump's going to win. would you run? >> well, in that case i may. if they had no one, i mean, i believe there's some people out there, i hope. let's see first. let's see first. >> you would run?
right here? >> i would never sit across from him. >> you don't want to talk to him? >> no. i'd sit across from barack, though. >> i loved sitting down with lebron today. what i loved is that he is his -- his authenticity. i was sitting down with a celebrity who didn't care about oh, we're going to offend this demographic or somebody might not buy my record because of this or may not come to a game because of this. lebron is who he is. he says it like he means. i'm so glad he's around to do that and more people should continue to do that in this environment. thank you, lebron james. mr. president, think about that. professional athlete doing a good thing for his community. that would be nice to talk about. we have more to come in the next hour when he gives me an exclusive tour of his school. plus you'll find out why he's giving every one of his students a new bike. when we come back, you'll hear
lebron say pretty blunt things about president trump, but will he keep taking aim at the white house? my digestive system used to make me feel sluggish but now, i take metamucil every day. it traps and removes the waste that weighs me down, so i feel lighter. try metamucil, and begin to feel what lighter feels like. new laptop with 24/7 tech support. yep, thanks guys. i think he might need some support. yes start them off right. with the school supplies they need at low prices all summer long. save $200 on this dell laptop at office depot officemax.

to speak his mind about president trump. let's does now. a former ohio senator and former assistant to president bush. both nina and scott are political cnn commentators. chris, i'll start with you. let me remind everyone of what laura ingram said in february. >> must they run their mouth like that? unfortunately a lot of kids and some adults take these ignorant comments seriously. look, there might be a cautionary lesson in lebron for kids. this is what happens when you attempt to leave high school a year early to join the nba. and it's always unwise to seek political advice from one who gets paid $100 million a year to bounce a ball. oh, and lebron and kevin, you're great players but no one voted for you. millions elected trump to be
their coach. so keep the political commentary to yourself, or as someone said, shut up and dribble. >> i mean -- >> i mean, it's just. let me start from the beginning. must they run their mouths like that? like, really? i almost said a bad word. who does she think she is to talk to someone about that? 100 million to dribble a basketball? that's not what it is, and look at what he's doing now. i'm sorry. go on. >> i just. you know -- this one dimensional view of anyone is a problem. right? i want to be able to talk about sports, so i'm not going to be a guy who says that athletes can't talk about politics. i would also say that there's a lesson in trump's victory that laura ingram doesn't touch which is that i'm not sure that the average person is looking for a political pundit's view on
things as much as they're looking for views of other people in the culture they respect. again, just because they're good at a sport doesn't mean you can't have opinions about other things. lebron james, kevin durant, stuff curry, draymond green, whoever you want to name -- >> i'm not a politician. i do real estate. but you're the president -- so the president of the united states should never talk politics? >> that's my point. >> donald trump should never talk politics? right. >> there's nothing i hate more in my own life on twitter than if i tweet something about sports or music and people say stay in your lane. talk about politics. no one is one dimensional. >> that goes beyond that. her tone, the language she used. >> there's no question when you say things like shut up and dribble, and when you're dealing with a league, particularly the nba that's overwhelmingly african american, race goes with it and donald trump and the way in which he treats athletes and
the way in which he's reacted to athletes, there's no question that -- >> who is the country rocker? what's his name that's always saying the nasty things that's always invited -- what's his name? ted nugent? >> it's how he feeling at the time. i think he should sit across from president trump and school him a little bit. let me in on laura ingram. >> go on. >> just an insult. i just remind me of how african americans were treated in the 20 th century, 19th century, 18th century. just shut up and do what we tell you to do. she really showed her bigot ri and her racism to think that the only thing that lebron james or any other athlete can do is to shut up and dribble a ball. just absolutely insulting. call it what it is. flat out. >> so, scott, you heard what
nina said. she said maybe he should sit across from him and try to school him a little bit. speaking of schools, i promise is a school. you say lebron should work with president trump. why is that? >> well, i think this president has shown that when celebrities of his status speak to him, he listens. even on the issue of using presidential pardons he's taken the advice of celebrities. if i were lebron james who i have a lot of respect for, i would take a step back and say if i ever got the chance to meet the president, i would see how other people of similar celebrity status have used that opportunity to effect positive change. the president used pardon power to right old wrongs on alice and jack johnson. i think if lebron james talked to trump about the great story he's promoting at this school which is a wonderful story, and i'm glad you're doing the story tonight, i think the president would listen to that. i think there's something going on in our world. we want to hear from
nontraditional people about what's happening in our world and the public affairs. a voice lebron's could be more valuable than he knows. >> i think lebron knows that the president would be using him as a prop and he doesn't listen when it comes to race. he doesn't speak, by the way, there's a caveat i didn't say. he doesn't speak about kim kardashian or people who look like her the way he speaks about people who look lebron james. >> that's right, or me. but don, this is the thing. the president may take that advice on that. he has an attorney general that has increased the war on drugs, that has increased -- talking about penalizing people with the mandatory minimums. he has a division in sync with the purges going on from the voter rolls. he says one thing when it benefits him, but talking about doing global change and dealing with systemic racism and
discrimination, he has no parts of really trying to correct that. >> when we come back, we'll talk more. i was talking to lebron about the school but clearly he wanted to discuss these issues. these are issues that are really important to him, and he's not exempt from racism because he's lebron james and a multimillionaire. the n-word was spray painted across his house not long ago. we'll talk about that. now, naturally defined brows that last. new tattoo brow tint pen from maybelline new york. multi-prong tip draws hair like strokes,

n-word, no matter who you are, and that was a reset. >> so back with me now, our panel. i know people watch and they say why are you guys talking about race? you're race baiting. it's not that bad. it is that bad. and stop saying that. start examining yourself. why don't you want to talk about it? maybe i should be more open to talk about it. maybe i should learn more about my neighbors of color or people who are not like me. what is it that i don't know? what is it that i'm not exposed to? what am i not learning rather than every single time saying there is no racism. it's all behind us. slavery was a long time ago. that's all really bullshit if you're watching at home and saying that. not even lebron james is exempt from the racism and bigotry. >> that could be one of the most powerful pieces of the
interview, that and when he was talking about when he decided to start to say more. even being lebron james, and his kids, he was worried about them going out and maybe never coming home. to your point, i think it's really important, and we get away from this in politics all the time. i think it's really important to remember the things that unite us sometimes as opposed to the things that divide us. a father worried about his son encourages him to speak out more than he had previously. a president who whatever you think of him, uses weaponizes race to score political points and has since prior to being a political candidate brings out a basketball superstar to talk more openly about sort of being a citizen of the world. those are, i think, good things in that we need more people to hear lebron james speak and not
be able to just stereo type well, he's good at basketball, but i'm not interested in his views. he is a citizen. you do not sacrifice being a citizen because you're excellent at something. he has a huge profile. people, i think, will at least hear him. i don't know if they'll listen and change, but they'll at least hear him. >> but he's at least able to articulate a message, answer my questions, follow a train of thought much better than someone who shall remain nameless a number of types i interviewed him. for people saying well, why do we care about lebron james and what he has to say? he's articulate and intelligence and knew his subject matter in that interview. i can't say that about a lot of people i interviewed lately in that day and age. scott, listen, racism was a president in the u.s. long before donald trump ran for president. i wonder if he's making it
worse. i think that's the sentiment from lebron. by not calling out white supremacists like in charlottesville is the president emboldening racists? >> i think he's allowing some of the racists to try to appropriate his presidency when i don't believe the president intends for them to do that but by not speaking out more forcefully, they try to campaign on his name, and that's a bad thing. any way you cut it, that's a bad thing. some things are going right for the minority country under president trump. unemployment rate for african americans hit an all time low. there's criminal justice reforms the white house is pushing that's bringing people from both parties together. the attempt to appropriate -- it breaks my heart as someone who considers himself to be in the party of lincoln. i would also say the president leads us all, and has a story to tell here that when you let these people like we saw in
charlottesville dominate the headlines, it makes it virtually impossible for the good stories that i just mentioned to come out. so i want the president to speak out against these racists, because they do exist. and they will try to use his name and campaign on his name. it's wrong. >> nina, i'll give you the last word. >> i hate to break it to my brother, but today's gop is nothing like the radical republicans of the party of lincoln. what lebron james is doing, don, is nothing short of spectacular. i'm from ohio. his heart as he said is with akron, ohio. i promise what he is doing is rem necessary end about 43 years ago a chicago schoolteacher saw black kids were not being treated properly and knew they had more goals and aspirations and gifts that were not being recognized and she said that she opened up that school with her own money and she said i am touching the future. that is exactly what lebron
james, king james for our way is doing by opening up that school and using his power and his presence to touch the future generations and pour into them life and hope. he said i am one of them. so as a black man in america he made it clear that it doesn't matter how much money that he has, that in the words of ice cube, his skin is still his sin. he is letting us know he can relate to every day african americans in this country about how race is still prelom nates. unless we have some real truth and reconciliation and stop covering it up and have deep-rooted conversations and push policies that actually change the needle, you know, 228 years one study showed that it would take an african american to catch up with the average wealth of white americans in this country. we're talking about systems, not just individuals. so i salute king james for the work that he is doing to change the lives and the dynamics of
young people in this country. go akron, go northeast ohio. >> and go lebron. thank you. i appreciate your words. i'm glad you mentioned when you talked about the wealth gap. generational wealth is something that people of color don't have the luxury of. i think that's a huge, huge gap in this country that keeps us divided. thank you, scott, and thank you, chris as well. i appreciate all of you. we'll have much more on the next hour and much more of this program right after this. u likes ♪ it's so hard to believe ♪ but it's all coming back me. ♪ baby, baby, baby. all you can eat is back, baby. applebee's. woman: it felt great not having hepatitis c.

acting like that, you don't need opposing counsel. >> yeah. is he helping the president or hurting the president, john? have we figured it out yet? >> i think he's hurting the president. he's clearly unhinged, and he's really appropriately representing trump in his unhingedness, if you will. he's throwing smoke. he's trying to cause confusion. it's kind of a relief to hear the white house isn't coordinate bug they're not reigning him in. >> i watch, and sometimes i would love to do that interview, and then i watch and i'm not so sure. i'm not so sure everything is right. first rudy giuliani went on new day exposing a planning session several days before the infamous june 2016 trump tower meeting with the russians. the new meeting possibly including rick gates. he then tried to walk it back on fox news. it was equally confusing.
watch this. >> it wasn't another meeting -- it has been leaked but hasn't been public yet. >> okay. >> that was a meeting, alleged meeting three days before. we checked with their lawyers, the ones we could check with which were four of the six. that meeting never, ever took place. >> i mean, chris, he described this supposed meeting and then said it never happened. once again he reiterated president trump knew nothing about the russian meeting in advance. is he trying to clarify or confuse it? it's a version of my first question, but what's happening here? >> well, he's not acting as an attorney. he's acting as a pr person. he's trying to muddy the water and create opinion around the special counsel. let me just say this. i think the meeting at the trump towers is a special focus of the special counsel, and if you -- if there's a premeeting, that's going to be relevant to his investigation. i think cohen is auditioning to
the special counsel, trying to get his attention. really, mueller has no interest in cohen. pitched him up to the southern district of new york because that case he's involved in or cases were not within his mandate. >> get his attention for what, chris? >> he wants a deal. that's his only card he has to play. he wants a get out of jail free card. >> is this why cohgoing goes af cohen so hard? here's what got me. he called cohen a liar. but he's been lying for who if he's lying? he'd be lying for donald trump, wouldn't he? >> he's back and forth on it as we've seen. but i think they have some fear with the manafort trial coming up, it's -- there are going to be some revelations that relate to the main investigation of the special counsel, and cohen is trying to get -- insert himself into that and create some
relevance so he can get a deal. he has no card to play up there in the southern district of new york. so rudy giuliani on behalf of the president is trying to discredit him as best they can right now. what they don't know is i don't think the special counsel has a lot of interest in him yet. >> why not? >> it's a bank fraud case. it's a tax medallion corruption case. it may be related to election campaign corruption. i don't think mueller feels like that's part of his case in chief unless he has something very relevant. and that trump tower meeting is an important meeting?. >> especially if he has more evidence on it. i've got a move on and ask you about this. president trump is alleging a vague conflict of interest. he says mueller has -- he's tweeting this. is robert mueller ever going to release his conflicts of
interest with respect to president trump including the fact that we had a very nasty and contentious business relationship? i turned him down to head the fbi one day before appointment as sc and comey is his close friend. in an interview on cnn rudy giuliani refused to specify what that alleged conflict is. is there any legal basis for this claim or is it -- is it just like president obama was wiretapping trump tower? >> it's in that lane. what's going on here is this is rudy throwing up some smoke or excuse me, the president also. it started with the president. and this is an old claim he's made. he made -- he said that mueller had a conflict of interest when -- because of his relationship to one of his virginia golf course and country clubs where mueller once was a member, and they had some dispute that got sorted out, minor incident. but he thought this was
justification alone to have a conflict of interest to pursue a prosecution as a special counsel. well, that's silliness. and all this was disclosed to the department of justice and mueller has no obligation to turn this information over to anybody other than the department of justice. >> it's sad a lot of people are buying this stuff that they're putting out there. that's all i'll say. i'll end it there. thank you, gentleman. i appreciate it. when we come back, i'll ask a former chairman of the house intelligence committee what he thinks about rudy giuliani's def defense of the president. plus there are signs that say north korea is working on new missiles. mike rogers weighed in on all that next.

you on. i hear you're like the energizer bunny today, up since 3:00 this morning. >> i flew out, did an interview and no woe is me, i'm fine. >> now, i was going to give it to wolf and now all you. >> i have been having trouble saying words, i haven't been drinking but with words coming slowly. >> we have been talking about rudy guiliani moving the goalpost in this investigation and went from there wasn't a meeting to collusion -- >> i know rudy guiliani and he's a fine man. a good lawyer. i knew him when he was doing mob cases in new york when i was an fbi agent in chicago. i think he's having a bad week here. it appears to me there is no coordination between what the
white house communication shop is doing or at least his lawyer shop is doing, i should say, the president and what this guiliani shop is doing, they have this go out and fix this thing. guiliani isn't really doing the legal work it appears to me, doing the pr work. i thought in the last couple of days he wasn't at his best. >> he said, just since he's been representing the president, he said some things not necessarily consistent as well. the last couple of days, you're right, not at his best. there's a japanese proverb that says only lawyers and painters can make white into black. think about it. history he's been on both sides of this issue. michael cohen a terrible -- great guy, and now an awful and terrible guy. i think you will see more of that as the pressure of this case mounts. the one that got me, i will say this, don, if col collusion isn't a crime -- even if were a
crime, my client didn't have anything to do with it or wouldn't have done it. boy, that's just close to being irresponsible with your language when this matter is that serious. i hope they go back and rehuddle up and come out of the gate a little stronger for his client. >> can you put the genie back in the bottle. i have to ask you about some news here, a new report in the "washington post." u.s. spy agencies are seeing signs north korea is constructing new missiles at a factory that produced the country'ses first international missiles capable of reaching the united states. does this fly in the face of north korea is no longer a nuclear threat. >> this thing hasn't worked out well at all. just by having the meeting, they agreed to denuclearize, right away, the north korean government was saying, we didn't
say that. i hate to say, this is the pattern we've seen over and over again, which is why other presidents have run into this same problem. they're very good about giving concessions, north korea wants concessions, pressure, act badly, misbehave, the world comes around, says, maybe this is the time and maybe this is the time. we see exactly the same behavior we're watching unfold now. i have no doubt they're actively engaged trying to secure their nuclear program. ren, kim jong-un believes this is what will allow him to stay in power forever. he also believes it's what will allow him to negotiate u.s. forces off the peninsula. >> i hate to interrupt you but i have to get it in before i go to the top of the hour. the president dropped a stunner saying he is willing to meet with iranian president rouhani with no reservations.
what do you think of it? former president obama said he would meet with people, my gosh, heads were popping off all over the country including conservatives including this president who said something about it. >> including me. i was pretty upset when president obama came out and said no conditions, i'm going to meet with the iranians, there were the secret meetings and i was intel chairman then and i was not happy about that. i'm not happy about this either. any time you cede it as president of the united states you're making a mistake. >> why is it okay now for north korea? why is it okay now for lots of folks? >> they shouldn't. if you're consistent with your national security views. i was upset with president obama for reaching out with no concessions. actually, president obama gave them cash to come to the table.
i was apoplectic back then, even on cnn, i think president trump is doing exactly what i and many people were frustrated about president obama doing because you end up not getting anything for it, what you end up doing is giving away pieces of leverage at a really bad time. i'm not sure the president understands that. he had a meeting with kim jong-un, thought it was great, guess what, a report comes out they're building missiles. you have a meeting with no consequences with rouhani, you will end up on the short end of that stick. >> thank you. more coming up. ♪ don't. stop. me. now. ♪ (because i'm having a good time.) ♪ don't. stop. me. now. ♪ (yes i'm having a good time.) ♪ i don't want to stop at all. and it's also a story mail aabout people ♪ (yes i'm having a good time.) and while we make more e-commerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country, we never forget...

A recap of the day's news.
trying to divide us. but i think -- >> kind of? >> yeah. is. is. not kind of. he's dividing us, and what i noticed over the last few months that he's kind of used sport to kind of divide us, and that's something that i can't relate to. i know that sport was the first time i ever was around someone white. you know? and i got an opportunity to see them and learn about them, and they got an opportunity to learn about me, and we became very good friends, and i was like oh, wow, this is all because of sports. and sports has never been something that divide people. it's always been something that brings people together. >> do you remember your first experience of someone different from you? do you remember what it was and what was your reaction? >> it was different. i mean, first, from -- they ate dinner at a different hour than i've ever ate dinner before. >> like earlier? >> yeah. like supper at 6:30 in the afternoon. i thought it was the afternoon. they called it the evening time. it was the first time i ever seen a pantry. you understand? for me, everything when i grew up, everything was on top of the refrigerator. my white friends had a pantry.
they kind of lived life without no care, no worry. and i wanted to get to a point maybe i could live life without no care and no worry either being around a lot of my white friends flow growing up. it was pretty cool. >> and even bedtime. 7:30, 8:00. >> yeah. none of that for me. >> i'm glad you mentioned that. i've been watching you, especially -- for a long time. this is not the first time i've interviewed you. i interviewed for your website and other things you did. but there's been something has changed in you over the last year or two. is it what's going on in the country racially? is it politically -- political? >> i think it's a little bit of everything. i think it starts with the trayvon martin situation, and the reason it starts with that, i believe, is because having kids of my own, having boys of my own, it hit home for me to see and learn the story and to think if my boy left home and he never returned. you know? that kind of -- that kind of hit a switch. that kind of hit a switch for me. and from that point on, i knew that my voice and my platform had to be used for more than
they always used it to say okay, this is even more motivation. this is even more a way for me to even be more powerful, and they're the reason we're here today. >> your challenges become goals, and your haters become your motivators. >> absolutely. >> so you were talking about the -- using athletics to divide people. >> yeah. >> you heard what the man in charge -- what the president said about marshawn, about steph, about, you know, it seems like it's -- >> kaepernick. >> yeah. men of colors who have means and
that's popular to try to negate people from thinking act the positive things they can be doing and try to get our minds to not be as sharp as possible right then. either from football players kneeling. look at kaepernick who was protesting something he believed in and he did in the most calm way possible. very respectful. he did his due diligence. everyone knew why he did it. look at the nfl players still kneeling. you look at steph and marshawn lynch and all these instances why he's trying to divide our sport, but at the end of the day sport is the reason why we all come together. >> yeah. what do you -- i just wonder where we go from here, because to a lot of people charlottesville was it. i mean, you tweeted, i think you said is this what our country is, make america great again? i think that was for everybody like all right, that's enough. i can't believe this. >> absolutely. i mean, we all felt that. it didn't matter what color you are to feel that tension, to feel like our great country, you know, that we all wake up every day in the land of the free as we believe with great opportunity to be even more than
what people even expect you to become for that to happen, you just felt like that was -- that was kind of the tipping point. >> will you -- i guess maybe you were surprised. maybe you weren't. the whole n-word incident at your house when it was painted? >> i don't know if i was surprised. i don't know if i was hurt. i don't know if i was disappointed. it was so many different emotions. more importantly, it was the conversation that i had to have with my boys that it was -- that hurt me. but at the same time it also enlightened me and also knew that no matter as i stated, you know, when i did an interview after that, that no matter how big you can become, no how successful you are, no matter what you do in your community or profession, being african american in america is always
tough, and they always going to let you know that you are the n-word no matter who you are, and that was just a reset. >> even when you have lebron status, lebron money. >> it doesn't -- >> you think it's harder when you see the incidents about being black, just living, do you think it's harder now or we're just seeing it because of cell phones? >> i think it's always been there. but i think the president in charge now has given people -- they don't care now. they throw it in your face now. >> would you ever run for office? >> run for office? >> would you ever be a politician and run for office? >> i don't think so. i don't think so. i don't know. >> i'm being serious. if someone tried to recruit a lebron to run for president,
they said listen, they've got no one. if you don't run, trump's going to win. would you run? >> well, in that case i may. if they had no one, i mean, i believe there's some people out there, i hope. let's see first. let's see first. >> you would run? last question is what do you hope happens from this school? i got to tell you i walked through. i am impressed. everybody is impressed. this is a great thing you're doing. what do you want to happen? what do you want in to go from here? >> every kid that walk through the doors, every kid from the 240 kids we're starting with now third and fourth grade to the 2022 when we're going to have first through eighth grade, we want every kid that walks through the school to be inspired, to come away with something, something where they can give back. it could be anything, but just
for kids in general all they want to know is that someone care. and when they walk through that door, i hope they know someone care. >> and you're going to l.a. but is your heart here? >> my heart is always here. akron, ohio, that's why i'm doing this school right here today. >> you excited about l.a.? >> absolutely. >> one more question. what would you say to the president if he was sitting right here? >> i would never sit across from him. >> you don't want to talk to him? >> no. i'd sit across from barack, though. >> i loved sitting down with lebron today. what i loved is that he is his -- his authenticity. i was sitting down with a celebrity who didn't care about oh, we're going to offend this demographic or somebody might not buy my record because of this or may not come to a game because of this. lebron is who he is. he says it like he means. i'm so glad he's around to do that and more people should continue to do that in this environment. thank you, lebron james. mr. president, think about that. professional athlete doing a good thing for his community. that would be nice to talk about. we have more to come in the next hour when he gives me an exclusive tour of his school.
plus you'll find out why he's giving every one of his students a new bike. when we come back, you'll hear lebron say pretty blunt things about president trump, but will he keep taking aim at the white house? this is not a bed. it's a high-tech revolution in sleep. the new sleep number 360 smart bed. it intelligently senses your movement and automatically adjusts on each side to keep you both comfortable. and snoring? how smart is that? smarter sleep.

so what can you do? she's saying a whole lotta people want to buy this house. but you got this! rocket mortgage by quicken loans makes the complex simple. understand the details and get approved in as few as 8 minutes by america's largest mortgage lender. welcome back. you heard my exclusive interview with superstar lebron james. we talked about the new school he opened in akron, ohio. we talked about racism in the country and lebron wasn't afraid to speak his mind about president trump. let's does now. a former ohio senator and former assistant to president bush. both nina and scott are political cnn commentators. chris, i'll start with you. let me remind everyone of what laura ingram said in february. >> must they run their mouth like that? unfortunately a lot of kids and some adults take these ignorant comments seriously. look, there might be a cautionary lesson in lebron for kids. this is what happens when you attempt to leave high school a
year early to join the nba. and it's always unwise to seek political advice from one who gets paid $100 million a year to bounce a ball. oh, and lebron and kevin, you're great players but no one voted for you. millions elected trump to be their coach. so keep the political commentary to yourself, or as someone said, shut up and dribble. >> i mean -- >> i mean, it's just. let me start from the beginning. must they run their mouths like that? like, really? i almost said a bad word. who does she think she is to talk to someone about that? 100 million to dribble a basketball?
that's not what it is, and look at what he's doing now. i'm sorry. go on. >> i just. you know -- this one dimensional view of anyone is a problem. right? i want to be able to talk about sports, so i'm not going to be a guy who says that athletes can't talk about politics. i would also say that there's a lesson in trump's victory that laura ingram doesn't touch which is that i'm not sure that the average person is looking for a political pundit's view on things as much as they're looking for views of other people in the culture they respect. again, just because they're good at a sport doesn't mean you can't have opinions about other things. lebron james, kevin durant, stuff curry, draymond green, whoever you want to name -- >> i'm not a politician. i do real estate. but you're the president -- so the president of the united states should never talk politics? >> that's my point. >> donald trump should never talk politics? right. >> there's nothing i hate more in my own life on twitter than if i tweet something about
sports or music and people say stay in your lane. talk about politics. no one is one dimensional. >> that goes beyond that. her tone, the language she used. >> there's no question when you say things like shut up and dribble, and when you're dealing with a league, particularly the nba that's overwhelmingly african american, race goes with it and donald trump and the way in which he treats athletes and the way in which he's reacted to athletes, there's no question that -- >> who is the country rocker? what's his name that's always saying the nasty things that's always invited -- what's his name? ted nugent? >> it's how he feeling at the time. i think he should sit across from president trump and school him a little bit. let me in on laura ingram. >> go on. >> just an insult. i just remind me of how african americans were treated in the 20 th century, 19th century, 18th
century. just shut up and do what we tell you to do. she really showed her bigot ri and her racism to think that the only thing that lebron james or any other athlete can do is to shut up and dribble a ball. just absolutely insulting. call it what it is. flat out. >> so, scott, you heard what nina said. she said maybe he should sit across from him and try to school him a little bit. speaking of schools, i promise is a school. you say lebron should work with president trump. why is that? >> well, i think this president has shown that when celebrities of his status speak to him, he listens. even on the issue of using presidential pardons he's taken the advice of celebrities.
if i were lebron james who i have a lot of respect for, i would take a step back and say if i ever got the chance to meet the president, i would see how other people of similar celebrity status have used that opportunity to effect positive change. the president used pardon power to right old wrongs on alice and jack johnson. i think if lebron james talked to trump about the great story he's promoting at this school which is a wonderful story, and i'm glad you're doing the story tonight, i think the president would listen to that. i think there's something going on in our world. we want to hear from nontraditional people about what's happening in our world and the public affairs. a voice lebron's could be more valuable than he knows. >> i think lebron knows that the president would be using him as a prop and he doesn't listen when it comes to race. he doesn't speak, by the way, there's a caveat i didn't say. he doesn't speak about kim kardashian or people who look like her the way he speaks about
people who look lebron james. >> that's right, or me. but don, this is the thing. the president may take that advice on that. he has an attorney general that has increased the war on drugs, that has increased -- talking about penalizing people with the mandatory minimums. he has a division in sync with the purges going on from the voter rolls. he says one thing when it benefits him, but talking about doing global change and dealing with systemic racism and discrimination, he has no parts of really trying to correct that. >> when we come back, we'll talk more. i was talking to lebron about the school but clearly he wanted to discuss these issues. these are issues that are really important to him, and he's not exempt from racism because he's lebron james and a multimillionaire. the n-word was spray painted across his house not long ago. we'll talk about that. when did you see the sign? when i needed to create a better visitor experience. improve our workflow.
attract new customers. that's when fastsigns recommended fleet graphics. yeah! now business is rolling in. get started at fastsigns.com. i knew at that exact moment ... i'm beating this. my main focus was to find a team of doctors. it's not just picking a surgeon, it's picking the care team and feeling secure in where you are. visit cancercenter.com/breast sfx: [cell phone dialing] no. no, no, no, no, no. cancel. cancel. please. aaagh! being in the know is a good thing. that's why discover will alert you if your social security number is found on any one of thousands of risky sites.
here's what he had to say about his los angeles home being vandalized with the n-word. >> i don't know if i was hurt. i don't know if i was disappointed. there was so many different emotions. more importantly, it was the conversation that i had to have with my boys that it was -- that hurt me. but at the same time it also enlightened me no matter how big you can become, no matter how successful, no matter what you do in your community or profession, being african american in america is always tough, and they always going to let you know what you are the n-word, no matter who you are, and that was a reset. >> so back with me now, our panel. i know people watch and they say why are you guys talking about race? you're race baiting. it's not that bad. it is that bad. and stop saying that. start examining yourself.
why don't you want to talk about it? maybe i should be more open to talk about it. maybe i should learn more about my neighbors of color or people who are not like me. what is it that i don't know? what is it that i'm not exposed to? what am i not learning rather than every single time saying there is no racism. it's all behind us. slavery was a long time ago. that's all really bullshit if you're watching at home and saying that. not even lebron james is exempt from the racism and bigotry. >> that could be one of the most powerful pieces of the interview, that and when he was talking about when he decided to start to say more. even being lebron james, and his kids, he was worried about them going out and maybe never coming home. to your point, i think it's really important, and we get away from this in politics all the time. i think it's really important to remember the things that unite us sometimes as opposed to the
things that divide us. a father worried about his son encourages him to speak out more than he had previously. a president who whatever you think of him, uses weaponizes race to score political points and has since prior to being a political candidate brings out a basketball superstar to talk more openly about sort of being a citizen of the world. those are, i think, good things in that we need more people to hear lebron james speak and not be able to just stereo type well, he's good at basketball, but i'm not interested in his views. he is a citizen. you do not sacrifice being a citizen because you're excellent at something. he has a huge profile. people, i think, will at least hear him. i don't know if they'll listen and change, but they'll at least hear him. >> but he's at least able to
articulate a message, answer my questions, follow a train of thought much better than someone who shall remain nameless a number of types i interviewed him. for people saying well, why do we care about lebron james and what he has to say? he's articulate and intelligence and knew his subject matter in that interview. i can't say that about a lot of people i interviewed lately in that day and age. scott, listen, racism was a president in the u.s. long before donald trump ran for president. i wonder if he's making it worse. i think that's the sentiment from lebron. by not calling out white supremacists like in charlottesville is the president emboldening racists? >> i think he's allowing some of the racists to try to appropriate his presidency when
i don't believe the president intends for them to do that but by not speaking out more forcefully, they try to campaign on his name, and that's a bad thing. any way you cut it, that's a bad thing. some things are going right for the minority country under president trump. unemployment rate for african americans hit an all time low. there's criminal justice reforms the white house is pushing that's bringing people from both parties together. the attempt to appropriate -- it breaks my heart as someone who considers himself to be in the party of lincoln. i would also say the president leads us all, and has a story to tell here that when you let these people like we saw in charlottesville dominate the headlines, it makes it virtually impossible for the good stories that i just mentioned to come out. so i want the president to speak out against these racists, because they do exist. and they will try to use his name and campaign on his name. it's wrong. >> nina, i'll give you the last word. >> i hate to break it to my brother, but today's gop is nothing like the radical republicans of the party of lincoln. what lebron james is doing, don,
is nothing short of spectacular. i'm from ohio. his heart as he said is with akron, ohio. i promise what he is doing is reminiscent about 43 years ago a chicago schoolteacher saw black kids were not being treated properly and knew they had more goals and aspirations and gifts that were not being recognized and she said that she opened up that school with her own money and she said i am touching the future. that is exactly what lebron james, king james for our way is doing by opening up that school and using his power and his presence to touch the future generations and pour into them life and hope. he said i am one of them. so as a black man in america he made it clear that it doesn't matter how much money that he has, that in the words of ice cube, his skin is still his sin. he is letting us know he can relate to every day african americans in this country about how race is still predominates.
unless we have some real truth and reconciliation and stop covering it up and have deep-rooted conversations and push policies that actually change the needle, you know, 228 years one study showed that it would take an african american to catch up with the average wealth of white americans in this country. we're talking about systems, not just individuals. so i salute king james for the work that he is doing to change the lives and the dynamics of young people in this country. go akron, go northeast ohio. >> and go lebron. thank you. i appreciate your words. i'm glad you mentioned when you talked about the wealth gap. generational wealth is something that people of color don't have the luxury of. i think that's a huge, huge gap in this country that keeps us divided. thank you, scott, and thank you, chris as well. i appreciate all of you. we'll have much more on the next hour and much more of this program right after this.
yep, thanks guys. i think he might need some support. yes start them off right. with the school supplies they need at low prices all summer long. save $200 on this dell laptop at office depot officemax.
with pg&e in the sierras. and i'm an arborist save $200 on this dell laptop since the onset of the drought, more than 129 million trees have died in california. pg&e prunes and removes over a million trees every year to ensure that hazardous trees can't impact power lines. and since the onset of the drought we've doubled our efforts. i grew up in the forests out in this area and honestly it's heartbreaking to see all these trees dying. what guides me is ensuring that the public is going to be safer and that these forests can be sustained and enjoyed by the community in the future. the white house distancing itself from rudy giuliani tonight. one official tells cnn that the president's press team is not coordinating on rudy giuliani with the mixed messages he's been delivering to date. it's not a surprise given how off the rails the president's attorney has been today. i'm going to bring in john dean,
a nixon white house counsel also we have chris. chris, what's going on here? what's wrong with rudy giuliani? >> by all accounts, my former colleagues that know him well say he's off the rails and has been for a while. i mean, he's with -- counsel acting like that, you don't need opposing counsel. >> yeah. is he helping the president or hurting the president, john? have we figured it out yet? >> i think he's hurting the president. he's clearly unhinged, and he's really appropriately representing trump in his unhingedness, if you will. he's throwing smoke. he's trying to cause confusion. it's kind of a relief to hear the white house isn't coordinate bug they're not reigning him in. >> i watch, and sometimes i would love to do that interview, and then i watch and i'm not so sure. i'm not so sure everything is right.
first rudy giuliani went on new day exposing a planning session several days before the infamous june 2016 trump tower meeting with the russians. the new meeting possibly including rick gates. he then tried to walk it back on fox news. it was equally confusing. watch this. >> it wasn't another meeting -- it has been leaked but hasn't been public yet. >> okay. >> that was a meeting, alleged meeting three days before. we checked with their lawyers, the ones we could check with which were four of the six. that meeting never, ever took place. >> i mean, chris, he described this supposed meeting and then said it never happened. once again he reiterated president trump knew nothing about the russian meeting in advance. is he trying to clarify or confuse it? it's a version of my first question, but what's happening here? >> well, he's not acting as an attorney. he's acting as a pr person.
he's trying to muddy the water and create opinion around the special counsel. let me just say this. i think the meeting at the trump towers is a special focus of the special counsel, and if you -- if there's a premeeting, that's going to be relevant to his investigation. i think cohen is auditioning to the special counsel, trying to get his attention. really, mueller has no interest in cohen. pitched him up to the southern district of new york because that case he's involved in or cases were not within his mandate. >> get his attention for what, chris? >> he wants a deal. that's his only card he has to play. he wants a get out of jail free card. >> is this why going goes after cohen so hard? here's what got me. he called cohen a liar. but he's been lying for who if he's lying? he'd be lying for donald trump, wouldn't he?
>> he's back and forth on it as we've seen. but i think they have some fear with the manafort trial coming up, it's -- there are going to be some revelations that relate to the main investigation of the special counsel, and cohen is trying to get -- insert himself into that and create some relevance so he can get a deal. he has no card to play up there in the southern district of new york. so rudy giuliani on behalf of the president is trying to discredit him as best they can right now. what they don't know is i don't think the special counsel has a lot of interest in him yet. >> why not? >> it's a bank fraud case. it's a tax medallion corruption case. it may be related to election campaign corruption. i don't think mueller feels like that's part of his case in chief unless he has something very relevant. and that trump tower meeting is an important meeting?. >> especially if he has more
evidence on it. i've got a move on and ask you about this. president trump is alleging a vague conflict of interest. he says mueller has -- he's tweeting this. is robert mueller ever going to release his conflicts of interest with respect to president trump including the fact that we had a very nasty and contentious business relationship? i turned him down to head the fbi one day before appointment as sc and comey is his close friend. in an interview on cnn rudy giuliani refused to specify what that alleged conflict is. is there any legal basis for this claim or is it -- is it just like president obama was wiretapping trump tower? >> it's in that lane. what's going on here is this is rudy throwing up some smoke or
excuse me, the president also. it started with the president. and this is an old claim he's made. he made -- he said that mueller had a conflict of interest when -- because of his relationship to one of his virginia golf course and country clubs where mueller once was a member, and they had some dispute that got sorted out, minor incident. but he thought this was justification alone to have a conflict of interest to pursue a prosecution as a special counsel. well, that's silliness. and all this was disclosed to the department of justice and mueller has no obligation to turn this information over to anybody other than the department of justice. >> it's sad a lot of people are buying this stuff that they're putting out there. that's all i'll say. i'll end it there. thank you, gentleman. i appreciate it. when we come back, i'll ask a former chairman of the house intelligence committee what he thinks about rudy giuliani's defense of the president. plus there are signs that say north korea is working on new missiles. mike rogers weighs in on all that next.
rudy guiliani moving the goalpost in this investigation and went from there wasn't a meeting to collusion -- he knew nothing about a meeting. what's the strategy here? >> i know rudy guiliani and he's a fine man. a good lawyer. i knew him when he was doing mob cases in new york when i was an fbi agent in chicago. i think he's having a bad week here. it appears to me there is no coordination between what the white house communication shop is doing or at least his lawyer shop is doing, i should say, the president and what this guiliani shop is doing, they have this go out and fix this thing. guiliani isn't really doing the legal work it appears to me, doing the pr work. i thought in the last couple of days he wasn't at his best. >> he said, just since he's been representing the president, he said some things not necessarily
consistent as well. the last couple of days, you're right, not at his best. >> there's a japanese proverb that says only lawyers and painters can make white into black. think about it. history he's been on both sides of this issue. michael cohen a terrible -- great guy, and now an awful and terrible guy. i think you will see more of that as the pressure of this case mounts. the one that got me, i will say this, don, if col collusion isn't a crime -- even if were a crime, my client didn't have anything to do with it or wouldn't have done it. boy, that's just close to being irresponsible with your language when this matter is that serious. i hope they go back and rehuddle up and come out of the gate a little stronger for his client. >> can you put the genie back in the bottle. i have to ask you about some news here, a new report in the "washington post."
u.s. spy agencies are seeing signs north korea is constructing new missiles at a factory that produced the country'ses first international missiles capable of reaching the united states. does this fly in the face of north korea is no longer a nuclear threat. >> this thing hasn't worked out well at all. just by having the meeting, they agreed to denuclearize, right away, the north korean government was saying, we didn't say that. i hate to say, this is the pattern we've seen over and over again, which is why other presidents have run into this same problem. they're very good about giving concessions, north korea wants concessions, pressure, act badly, misbehave, the world comes around, says, maybe this is the time and maybe this is the time. we see exactly the same behavior we're watching unfold now. i have no doubt they're actively
engaged trying to secure their nuclear program. ren, kim jong-un believes this is what will allow him to stay in power forever. he also believes it's what will allow him to negotiate u.s. forces off the peninsula. >> i hate to interrupt you but i have to get it in before i go to the top of the hour. the president dropped a stunner saying he is willing to meet with iranian president rouhani with no preconditions. what do you think of it? former president obama said he would meet with people, my gosh, heads were popping off all over the country including conservatives including this president who said something about it. >> including me. i was pretty upset when president obama came out and said no conditions, i'm going to meet with the iranians, there were the secret meetings and i was intel chairman then and i was not happy about that. i'm not happy about this either.
any time you cede it as president of the united states on something as serious as nuclear weapons you're making a mistake. >> why is it okay now for north korea? why is it okay now for lots of folks? >> they shouldn't. if you're consistent with your national security views. i was upset with president obama for reaching out with no concessions. actually, president obama gave them cash to come to the table. i was apoplectic back then, even on cnn, i think president trump is doing exactly what i and many people were frustrated about president obama doing because you end up not getting anything for it, what you end up doing is giving away pieces of leverage at a really bad time. i'm not sure the president understands that. he had a meeting with kim jong-un, thought it was great, guess what, a report comes out they're building missiles. you have a meeting with no
consequences with rouhani, you will end up on the short end of that stick. >> thank you. more lebron coming up. no. no, no, no, no, no. cancel. cancel. please. aaagh! being in the know is a good thing. that's why discover will alert you if your social security number is found on any one of thousands of risky sites. ♪ ♪ ♪ raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens ♪ ♪ bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens ♪ ♪ brown paper packages tied up with strings ♪ ♪ these are a few of my favorite things ♪

my main focus was to find a team of doctors. it's not just picking a surgeon, it's picking the care team and feeling secure in where you are. visit cancercenter.com/breast we have one to two fires a day and when you respond together
and you put your lives on the line, you do have to surround yourself with experts. and for us the expert in gas and electric is pg&e. we run about 2,500/2,800 fire calls a year and on almost every one of those calls pg&e is responding to that call as well. and so when we show up to a fire and pg&e shows up with us it makes a tremendous team during a moment of crisis. i rely on them, the firefighters in this department rely on them, and so we have to practice safety everyday. utilizing pg&e's talent and expertise in that area trains our firefighters on the gas or electric aspect of a fire and when we have an emergency situation we are going to be much more skilled and prepared to mitigate that emergency for all concerned. the things we do every single day that puts ourselves in harm's way, and to have a partner that is so skilled at what they do is indispensable, and i couldn't ask for a better partner.

us about all types. francoise gilo is ninety six years old. she looks back on a long productive and rewarding career in which she created over five thousand drawings and sixteen hundred paintings some of my knowing. three of her travel sketchbooks have just been published in a limited edition volume. this is where they make your own words. together. the images are in studies for later paintings for the works in their own rights. they capture the experiences she lo had in trips to venice india and senegal. when i was young it's
a long time ago i used to go in the subway and make the bowings of people in the subway. and then you know i have a little note book in my pocket and not not do anything for me it just was i'll pass on it it's interesting to note that it knows a way faizal something but that doesn't mean i'm going to do a kid since that usually under completely i go away from nato. because. it's interesting but that's that maybe for i felt i felt for me as a. geo on the cold desert shaded from the sun by public because so for ten years she was the partner muse of one of the twentieth century's most famous painters and had two children with him. it didn't end well for the spanish master she low left him alleging infidelities and abuse. because i didn't take it
very well. because france was you know painted before she met the castle and continued afterwards for the rest of her life for her that creation was a form of self affirmation. or works reflect the spirit of a century very neither radically abstract nor comfortably figurative but emphasise color space and rhythm. you know followed her own path. then thing is it is essentially they would not then there would not be that that's what i can say. does it has nothing to do with where there may be pending good
or bad zero six s food or whatever venting is a kind of need like somebody needs to eat or to drink. smother madelaine was a water color painter her father a successful businessman. in one nine hundred forty one while studying law in paris france was secretly took drawing and painting lessons. two years later she decided to become an artist and her family broke off contact with her. and i've been painting since i don't know when and when men will not allow them to do the same. as an leave it was a. silly little things for young girls or something like that but in the twenty first twenty years and to me there were men. taken the power to bend themselves the man would all not them the same way but
with their own their own power so to speak. france was. a woman who many has always been determined to pursue her own idea of art. the next artist has also worked hard for success i'm talking about rick astley thanks to his hits like a never gonna give you up together forever the british musician rose to world fame and the eighties and became a millionaire in his early twenty's so he treated himself to a long hiatus chandy five years but the break is over and now he's released his second album after a comeback it's called beautiful life have a listen. rick actually has released a new album. in
the summer of one thousand nine hundred seventy the singer first catapulted to fame his hit never going to give you up top the charts in twenty five countries. actually was just twenty one back then it was a tavern time in his career. back in the day when you're an actual pop star i think it's it's very hard to just go and do that because you have to go into that like with a security person and then it becomes a bit of a mass you know it's not like a real life. actually scored several hits with his debut album although some critics complain that the sound was tepid in an exciting millions of fans for his records.
and the singer's first success wasn't a one off follow up albums also climbed the charts. told with. the one nine hundred eighty s. fractured past the british superstar within the space of just six years he sold forty million albums worldwide. i. backed by the mid ninety's the demands of being a star began to tell and astley started thinking about quitting the business. oh. the problem with fame if you can call it a problem is that you don't get to turn it off even if you're on holiday on a beach. even if you're trying to teach your daughter to swim in a swimming pool you don't get to turn off. the dropped off the radar stop these
career at the age of twenty seven just spend more time with his family for over two decades he kept a low profile that means twenty sixteen the former star celebrated a successful comeback we do concerts you know with soaring in september october november in europe and then we see then we go to the u.k. and. you can go on stage sing old songs sing some new songs now. and then go for breakfast the next day. and you know it's like having a normal life with the singer songwriter still likes to keep things as low key as possible even as he and his band laid the groundwork for a second career in the industry.

kinds of things such as these honeycomb shelves here's what. you need at least one hundred and twenty popsicle sticks would go in. one large piece of paper. and he said if you can use decorative painters tape. a pen. a ruler. and a compass. let's get started first a hexagon this is an easy way. to draw a circle on the paper the radius should be the same length as your popsicle stick minus eleven centimeters. find where the two points of the circles are eleven centimeters apart and draw a line across repeat five times and you have a hexagon. stack six popsicle sticks alternating pattern along these lines and fix the three bottom ones with tape. gently move the three sticks to decide to appoint
a drop of glue to each end of the bottom three sticks then carefully press them back on. continue gluing and sticking in the same pattern until your shop has to decide to step. i have twenty popsicle sticks on each side. to make sure the ends are exactly on top of each other. once you're done you can remove to tape and let the glue dry for about an hour. and just like that you have an inexpensive and quickly built shelf. i have so many parts of the coast to be able to build these shelves just kidding it's easy to buy them online involved and when you've had enough of these shows you can stack them on top of each other and turn them into a candle holder this is what it looks like. and

a watch despite the popularity of quartz timepieces mechanical watches and clocks are becoming trendy again and watch makers like us a cutout love this intricate work. and you have to be very patient and you have to be willing to keep learning new things and you need to love what we do here. this quest for perfection. not the interface. that quest began here over one hundred seventy years ago with precision pocket watches. watch production continue during the communist era in east germany today class who to oregon now is constantly developing new models and makes all its own parts. the watches sell for up to several hundred thousand euros one of the more unusual models is this watch

the rest of all that's goes if you feel it evoked all these images just below zero of the blue that dominates the stage it's been so to look at that sixty. is lohengrin has been a guest in my studio for six years it was not playing all the time to do but it certainly dominated the acoustic airspace and of course it inspired me. it sucked so i suppose in spirit. neil valve is a superstar among german contemporary painters often associated with the new life church school his work sell for a fortune worldwide this is the first time he and his wife have tried to hand just oprah. it's been our first direct hands on experience though of course we've seen many operas here and we listen to wagner in the studio but there we weren't engaging with wagner directly in the paintings it was more of a subtle sub. conscious influence does. or. does.
sometimes will find people in costumes and my pictures of my like you see in this production team and he heard. here. called. there are also allusions to all of the logical motifs. feet all feathers and caps with beaks. and then there's the cosmos of models. put in solitary all. the strange obscure creatures gather in this mysterious fantasy realm. it may well have been a bit confusing for the directed to the american you for sharon who took over the production only after the main features of the staging had been decided on. indeed the fugazi when i first saw the wings in the sketches i thought the society receive
here is not entirely human but position somewhere between man and man as at first station mention when martin is going to be back on that bizarre and interesting to hear research and we decided to leave it open for the audience to interpret and listen off after just to become. and audiences are used to puzzling over the meaning of each new interpretation of wagner's lowing bring it premiered in a scene fifty in time but has seen no fewer than ten productions here in by void since eighty ninety four. there was a symbolist one by guts retreat in one nine hundred seventy nine. twenty years later keith warner's most apocalyptic. the last production five hundred million shares dates from twenty ten. he dressed the chorus up as rats and told the story of no incremental such as an experiment about love and trust in a world devoid of emotion. the premie

placed an electricity pylon in the middle of the seventeenth century setting their shining dispute my thought was we see here a society that once had electricity or energy and has lost it and i lost it's drive and handed it over to some god. and now is waiting for that energy to return to the world in the very it's a common view of. service none green is now in there like trisha in blue overalls who's going to restore the power supply. this is the forest retreat to the child prepared for the real he took it on at the last moment after roberto alagna backed out but challenged jumped at the opportunity looked at the wagner lever wagner lovers this is mental illness but you can say no i think of this very seriously and give my oh my best this and i
certainly hope we don't have a power for your health. oh i am god on the contrary the parish tennis powerful no lingering electrified the audience and much to his blues you should know him by point. and we have lots more to show you on facebook check it out. it's no secret anymore the young euro classic festival is the place to discover tomorrow stars of the classical scene reporter molina luskin was inspired by all the young musicians meeting up to share their passion. every summer the average age
of musicians and the concert hall suddenly louis it's when the best you from around the world come here to balance resent the scope behind me and the concert halls we wonder what motivates them and do they bring bad ass politics into the orchestra. we meet up with two members of a south african orchestra. or music is a great investment. i have no problem go from fredericksburg in the paper the jews will just keep believing i'm for native who come from cape town and i thank me as. well i think. you know the most beautiful thing about i was just that sort of brings together people that you would never actually be with and. comes
in because you know all of a sudden you you know sitting next to somebody. you know two thousand kayser we have never met. me and she started out offering musical workshops for young people across all ethnic and social boundaries the orchestra emerged out of that and it's now touring europe. and in our present day there are many social differences that we experience because of the past we've had. and now you know moving forward and i find that playing in this orchestra. all of that it goes away because music becomes the most important thing. is celebrating the hundredth birthday of nelson mandela he dreamed of
a society in which all people would have their place regardless of background race or color if you didn't mandela's vision into reality it's literally his vision come true. no orchestra euro as the european union youth orchestra under twenty musicians from twenty eight the new member states unite according to you and make music during a critical time in the year. and i'm french and i'm playing cello. and from the netherlands. i'm forever. and i'm from the netherlands i'm kalen miles i'm from the u.k. and i play the trumpet. sounded in one nine hundred seventy six the e.u.
youth a. history has been a cultural ambassador for the european union for more than four decades but it's facing changes. i think what i wish for europe is that it's keeping its unity how do you feel about the move from london to ferrero because the headquarter is moving that is coming out this is something you talk about in the orchestra as a brit i feel very affected by this us that all of the other musicians in the orchestra from the quay. and not only for us thinking that at some point we were in the next couple years we were able to apply for the orchestra and. many members of the ensemble are studying across europe it is unclear what changes will bring but their music doesn't know borders. thing it's a fact you could learn from a quest for life you can always find a solution even though there are so many people with different opinions how it
should be but there's one boss was for us is the conductor then and people can agree on it's. the european union might be facing lots of problems but the orchestra is doing fine it embodies international cooperation it's musicians are excellent and it attracts great conductors orchestra members often go on to professional careers for many it's a stepping stone to success the young euro classic festival has been held here every year since two thousand it's not a stuffy as some classical music events younger audiences don't feel out of place. jen and brianna saida conducted the orchestra in a performance of chekhov ski's fifth symphony.
do the stars even bother we wanted to find out. that. the mandolin is a small delicate instrument. this man has brought a back to the world stage and is performing at the months art festival israeli virtual so. in a small church inverts book. a regular player the world's greatest orchestras his concert invites bug sells out immediately. the season of summer festival is always a joy because. for several reasons the personal reason of course you get to performing gorgeous places. play could be hands are wonderful whether i think the audience is a big difference the audience the comfort summer festivals everything and atmosphere is a bit more lunacy to be you know that the audience comes through really experience
something that is festive very special that is out of the ordinary. since one thousand twenty two the mozart festival has been drawing classical music fans diverts burge every summer. the name volved going on today as mozart always draws in a crowd the concert venues and historic sites are a popular attraction even without the music. there are over three hundred festivals like this in germany when the season is over for a concert in opera houses the summer festival bandwagon gets rolling. as a key source of revenue for many musicians and provides welcome publicity. facing such competition the organizers of the festivals have a major challenge in hiring big names no easy task. to alicia i don't see additional mark of course the festival market is very dense
it's some fast of its run at the same time and the number of people who go to classical festivals is relatively limited as here of course we have this impressive imperial hall at the cheapest frescoes and the budget has a neumann architecture and. they're all gyms which attract an audience but we still have to fill the venue is a dismissing if. it's a struggle to attract both stars and visitors the mozart's festival is trying to build up a loyal audience. in twenty fourteen new vision and was the so-called artists a twelve the star artist of the festival. as a clarinet player composer and conductor he was involved in creating the program this year he's here with the irish chamber orchestra one strategy of the mozart festival is that musicians meet up here build networks and then come back you.
know would perform. third of all what role for the man but in the next five and. even some experts are not familiar with mozart's compositions for the mandolin. when they got this invitation from the motes of fest so we're thinking how can we can make a connection with mozart ten and that was the link i mean those through little pieces. that are very rarely played because obviously when i make concerts even with voice it's not never it's never the right setting for to present this through
a little like candies to little pieces by mozart and so the result is that it's very rarely performed around the world so it was i thought it was a great opportunity. a relaxed audience a little stars who are not afraid to attempt something. unusual that's the great attraction of the summer festivals. it's clearly a successful business idea to so win win situation all around. and that was it well almost we've got one more for you and this one's got energy to say the least how about bucket instead of books the small village in northern germany with a population of about two thousand turns into a heavy metal paradise once a year it's the biggest one of its kind worldwide
a mecca for metal heads banging at buck in open air if you've had enough of high culture then this is for you eighty five thousand metal and hard rock disciples and a week of music partying and beer. in might have a reputation for being the muddiest festival worldwide but this time it was anything goes to keep cool. see you next time on art's twenty one.
