africa on the roof. of stories about people making a difference in shaping their nation. and their continent of africa on the move stories about a motivational change makers taking their destinies into their own hands. d.w. multimedia series from africa. d.w.m. dot com or go. that s been jambalaya identity teenage superstar from the o.p. s created football history against national team player in his country. his dream the phone business. and that s me the guy with the camera who wants to follow being young in his attempt to live his dream. so i m heading to topeka to footballing terra incognita in east africa not for the first time i went there before when binyam was a sixteen year old talented youth player in the capital i mean he s been jambalaya and of course he s got to. binyam was living in a dorm for talented athletes four hundred fifty kilometers away from his hometown to read quite privileged in this group. when he wasn t on the pitch he was making a little money as a construction worker to support his family back home. even back then i saw something special and i mean really special and that s the man who introduced us. the german coach ignore ignore this guy s eyes this is german guy german t.v. . he wants to feel the talents a future of it but only god look at looked. you know i think he got also told me that bill young has an visa and is looking for tribes and job and that he doesn t have an agent yet so what if he also changes my life completely by having me as his agent. is there a wealthy and glamorous future ahead of me. back dr than half it s instead of the expected he raised. two and a half years later we meet again during our traditional g.o.p. reaching i noticed a change. it seems that he has hit the gym quite often the last year i will go to germany. i really see professional clubs have to fight to be professional player different profession out there for ethiopia. when it comes to football if your peers a strange country although they have the second largest population in africa they re already qualified for the africa cup they re famous for the runners but also mad about football. no homegrown player has ever made it to professional you peak in them is being watched by many clubs who are offering serious money but the final match day he couldn t showcases skills. sapping. teves. it s in bits my back pain it s their pain he s come slowly it s. painful. i didn t finish the much from the banshee watch this club c.b.c. news to champion stan george a goal in overtime since being what to do second to fruition i am emotional number and i m. he was substituted before. but you know me as a pretty tough guy. the next day the relegation has already been fun part. is now the most wanted me to feel that if you know. is hungry for more. i want to play in general and. then i have to see the as that ocean. but for myself. i need a germany. this is starting point. now let s go we pick out things and go on a journey out to. challenge take some five thousand five hundred kilometers from home. on the twenty seventh of june we arrive to frank floyd. old we had a proper. pass for that told us about the resilience trying to get into the country with fake invitation mark ups but then the guy with the camera in that thing. being young received the real invitation from second division is what. we have to take the train to get. throughout our journey deeply religious beam it was kind of praying most of the time. after twenty hours of travelling we reached trees but no one was waiting at the platform for us because thomas the guy supposed to pick us up was a little a very young german in billy s opinion. it was obvious that thomas didn t expect that much but after that everything was good and well. and i will later. appear for the first time in the official kit of the normal drazen that train. full of relief focused and beautiful. but. i was so tired at that moment so i decided. but that was his take. not as a family man but as a camera because in a friendly match the next day he scored his first goal on german soil. training the team. its moods. i played one marching team. and i made him go. it was nice. i was present at the next friendly match but other us corps. know binyam on the pitch what happened. in the photo was itself i think again if you need to match. three days almost three days in the three two months and all three mean my side to me. today i was feeney did three three months i went into the doctor and say everything is. i will start to morrow always my teammate waning. time for a little sight seeing injuries and of course binyam into historical churches. seems impressed by the beauty of the city. it appears that he s already living the dream. with excellent food service in the first class hotel. and the big black limousine that chauffeur s him to the train. he s focused on making this a permanent lifestyle watching me me in training sessions i notice a tennis. let s say he s trying a little bit too hot. and you know move they have a rule you have to speak german but will they make an exception for being nice. to. us. after a short layoff you to injury he s back in training how is he doing our home because at the moment binyam is almost never responding to my messages which leaves me annoyed. really annoyed and then i found out why. without writing me a lot of me saying. sky instead grounding. them but it s difficult ones out of four or how many messages by seeing. two hundred and. the most important thing for try list for at least. i m in the next trial against check the first division she was slow volleyball nets binyam does not play in the first when he comes on he shows his class in only one situation a little bit less rushed here he could assist for the one one. make a difference and maybe convince you know most sporting director. after the game passed the coach who dressed inside the boy. to give us a free invite all the yard with a muscle in them until it is evidence out of it was along on them as a goodish knows can feed. on a lot of innocent people. and while being young is doing public relations with fans i have a me. thing was someone who has an eye on me. and interesting guy i flick money players agent from albania being close to the inner circle of football. if it s not working out here for you try to do something for him you did you check up on the fame yes and yes it is you have to offer from montana. from one of the men came you know been nice it s easy for him because it s not. the quantity from the macis just not so strong like an honest we got through because of us the police is more easy more more with about. together we go on a night out injuries this old city center afraid to invite us and all of us the best of everything but most of the time it s all just small talk still it s pretty obvious that i freak wants to lure me need to obey me and. i bane you know was a really big dream destination. no he has high hopes of the number will start. off first take him to their pre-season training camp. which happens two days later in his first time in bavaria very sends me one of his rare video messages. i want smaller and beanie. we are now in the training camp going to. model it once more training then we ll prepare for coming out of my eyes through as to the guy so for now it s enough child by. the friendly between stuttgart embrace nick will be shown live on german t.v. but little billy played my son johnny sanch this right starts on the bench. of. the same pitch side just for a few seconds there he is in his first run out life on german t.v. johnny finds a match a bit boring without him despite dressed in spectacular when. you see. i want to find out why binyam didn t play. so i had to but good and beautiful now the area. when i arrived the players are doing some team rafting on the revenues yet most christians relax but i m getting some strange lives i had the feeling that there was something cooking to work with your feelings. when it seems as legacy but there s something fishy going on. then being these old mentor from ethiopia shows up german coach i can think that it means a decision must be close. so i went out with a german coach for a couple of berry and beer and beat me at binions chances to get a contract i m not too good any more brazen coach who will not house says that only one thing could change his mind goads goals go. that means binny has to deliver in the last friendly of the training camp and he does have addressed and too little behind against third division to having been to school. first forty six minutes. and then a minute later with a nicely taken equaliser. sure . the shop came the next morning sunday. early sunday i got a call from the no much the scout can stand by to ask me if i can pick up the meat in berlin what s the story i m going to pursue business of going into them i thought they. could even put a business. suit just fine on this silver box of this british will too and i mean it s. it s a korean. i knew mr and of him i saw him up with the steps it with us and him on top it was pressure on to speak to him as i took on the king and she him of concern and i saw. her say on the sets of says it would present it to squid and you can eat any munch of it and supposed to spit in the dozen but why the hell they needed three weeks to realize that. which of us mean if i can much easier than come to understand a few thing on. this being off. of them i m thinking of it s a zillion things that i just often feel it s a game this was a. man and had it s for number one thought this is an example. of this fill in some of the here he said you feel like well it was. you know i m addressing felt they couldn t properly integrate him although he was top scorer in pre-season can he still make his dream happen and become the first ethiopian in the bundesliga yet. no integration problems with my family at least. not in the first thing we wanted to know the next day what is the internet saying about her. not signing. down anything. ok. and as for you going to get a contract because i m going to do overs from. the fans more please sixty percent said the police should sign you. yeah. germany s biggest newspaper broke the news no contract for binning but first we had something to celebrate johnny and the union share a birthday on june eighteenth pena s nineteen in johnny turns for. sure. and while being young is celebrating the rest of the day chatting to his family and friends in ethiopia johnny s proving that he is a real party and. the next day we step up our efforts. binyam to stay top fit and meet to find a cure for my toss turns out to be the hot. it s pretty confusing to see a young player with so much talent and commitment not being a scientist by exploring a lot of roads and friends. one reason could be clubs trying to reduce their spots in pay walls and office taking in yams resign expires soon. and i miss a call from an unknown number. so i return the call to the. bean he was back and. sebastian schultz of from the second nation agency says he has organized trials for us so we take the train to that place. but leipzig is only meeting second division side our interested in what is the name . our may not be the most famous club but its local rivals of drislane they are curious to see beneath we are told by the sports pages oh you. plan on this also holds on to what are going to us of a nation with one fin if you wish to know. the preload strong plan as it s defined in the minds of all fun and you wanted to know if i was all that s what i got rough insight out of all of the directors i ve spoken and so that will come to me often as it was as i did a biden or if i set out to write a song. to my off not for through it a sentiment which i think we knew in the future in detail. so will the agency manage to find a club for beanie and make his dream come true. the sucker in the asian guy said they don t want me. and being nice fate is not helped by a series of missed on the things turns out i would want to strike out to have immediate not for future. and over inside spoke austria he s two years too old for the red book and. the next important question for him how can i get to a mania how you want to do it. what they directly said from cologne but you don t berlin so we have to take it from berlin you know because how are you going to get to know from here to call on how money. from berlin. a lot six hundred two so yeah. what. is that s on the list he s crazy for i wouldn t want to call on. the day before his visa expired birth place. a few days later his agent alfred gave me a call good news it s. been just signed a contract to scan the bail koch. when he is now wearing red and white is signed the contract will be a bay new club scandal bay ok. after returning from my holidays i m taking the first plane to obeying i don t know much about a baby and football that s gonna bail sounds like an interesting time in two thousand and fifteen the club became the first abang inside to reach the playoff round of the champions the last of the numbers are correct and dropped into the open but we re still the first of a new team to qualify for the group stages of a if i can petition now scanned the mayo have a chance to repeat that success and again they faced in. after one all drawn trace goannas draw would be enough to make scan the bails dream come true defense comes first meaning few chances for young forward been. back for. a ninety six minutes bathroom. watch out europe scan the bayeux coming. i meet the new in the stadium sparky didn t get on the pitch but making his first one for you pin match is a big. the fans love the african play since then the bills started integrating african talents like beneath and his gambian roommate ali so were the provincial team has improved its fortunes. asked about thirty minutes delayed we are heading to the players party at and this is. the best part. place was definitely not cheap it came close to my imagination of the exclusive world of being a professional football. ollie and beany a boy so they all fit the next morning we have an important appointment at ben yes public t.v. station only after it seems like he s not one hundred percent fit for the cameras. station is doing a special honor of being us first if you ll be a player and his journey to the land of the skipper thomas. the school they re built so how can you call your. name. you can say beanie and we say always that you can go with a piece near the ok it s also interesting how i first describes his job as a play at a job where both of you have to step past the only. hope. for years ago. it was a strange experience to be interviewed and to be dumped on a bush continued program people me see minister. during the three days often. being spent doing nothing eating and sleeping travelling through germany and i was seen three weeks and i m with. then i went. it was very hard you know i didn t get brickbats to be professional player and. to see my future. i have to. import on his. first play up from a doctor. sign him in europe you know in one club from europe. here s the process it was with the sixteen year old. with a national team and now is the. place of trust in europe from a top tier and you know but he was the sec is a sort of do i. mean he seems happy and i guess given time to adapt he s making good money and his chance of playing in their own folly grows the following i ll frito bandito looks like it was the right. hand down. again so i do feel good. ok. ok. ok. ok cool cool a. clue the moments thirty minutes w. a silent clash of cultures in india. a clash between those who believe in arranged marriage and those who want to marry for love to. come to. a clash that shaking families against society to the cold. war my father will be angry sometimes i think i m already dead and. commandoes starts july eight g.w. . ok news on this message she s not seeing the unsub. us the folds of the so-called changes on the british consulate boost side boxes come up. people have put big dreams on the big story mummy movie magazine on the w. . how is the view of the world. where i come from at all is that it is this go it s just like with chinese food that s natural where i am it s only with reminds me of home after decades of living in germany chinese food is one of the things i miss the most but that taking a step back i still think i need to differentiate knowledge printed for its first as an articulation that exists the other part of the order haven t been implemented
nature that s what i want to do. and i m in the right place. it s one of the most popular tourist destinations in bavaria. the region begins about thirty kilometers south of munich and extends all the way to the austrian border. just an hour and a half from munich by car train and you re in the mountains perfect for a day trip. visitors who come here want to get out into nature a classic among the day tourist starts here at the lake up that mountain called hats right now it s a bit cloudy over there but let s see if that changes later today. we also introduce you to the biggest fan of this mountain the big very in fairy tale king of the second. we take you up to dizzying heights for a real thrill. and in our v mail we bring you travel greetings from a viewer this time from tanzania. here we go up they have. one of the most popular destinations in the region. it s about one thousand seven hundred meters high the way up is easy the cable car takes only four minutes. every fifteen minutes a fresh load of tourists. and then it s a hike up the winding path to this summit. our reward 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. the day is coming to an end but i still have an appointment with norbert he teaches jobling a lot of the variance know how to your daughter but i don t so i want to give it a try not at all but what is your link anyhow your doing this i mean yodeling is a way of communicating out a long distances in the open air like in the hours. message from above to down below from below to the top. one goal might mean the livestock is now in the bank the fusiform of long distance communication for a company called the once one would soak in everyone do it could i you order. yes if you can talk in a single you can yodel thing even if you don t realize it. or themself. we used two different registers. one is quite easy and normal register like when you speak. but you can train it for instance when you do this and the socks. do you know this isn t exactly your normal chest voice when you order it s right that you use your basic util sound the second register can be harder for a man it s time to. imagine you could fly and you re heading towards a cliff then you take off and i. guess that i was. you know it s really it s pretty funny this is odd i thought it should be funny this all happened and it happens in your hand it is what you imagine flying off a cliff want to get that high register without thinking about it maybe without expecting it but i hear you. thought that you were really only ok ok he goes ok though. if you had a consonant with him as a. right it s scratchy. it has to scratch a little i can see you already have the two pages i didn t want to get this. i think. perfect perfect your first you don t yet know it sounds branches i ll keep practicing

129 points at this moment. your world with neil cavuto will break it down as he always does with the best in business. should news break out, we ll break in because breaking news changes everything on fox news channel. see you next week. well, president trump and the first lady are in ohio at this hour. one of the president s closest confidants is granted immunity and everybody is wondering what does that immunity and the michael cohen investigation mean. is the russia probe going beyond russia? where does this end? welcome. i m neil cavuto. the president s battle with jeff sessions end? stocks survived. the white house survived. the critics thrive. if you call my interview with dana on fbn earlier today, it was a wild ride. the president does have the he s in the news. the reason why, federal prosecutors in new york have granted him immunity, a big story line here at the white house here today. wiselberg is a person who apparently dealt with mr. cohen. he helped him be reimbursed for the hush money paid to the adult film stars. investigators are looking for more details about the payments. wiselberg has been granted immunity as i mentioned in new york. he s also identified in court filings as executive 1. he testified before a grand jury last month. so while we re just finding out about this today, neil, this is actually a month old news. sometimes it just sort of comes out in dribs and drags. he s also one of two trustees of the trump trust that controls the president s assets. that means at least presumably he would have an idea of what money went where. this is interesting, neil, because this michael cohen part of the story is really interesting. even though it s now coming to light, this dovetails about to michael cohen. people wondering, what happened with the whole thing with wiselberg and the cfo of the national enquirer s, david pecker. we talk about he too has been granted immunity. this is happening as the president set ablaze another twitter spat with jeff sessions. we ve seen this and talked about it at length for quite some time. let s go to twitter and share part of what the president is saying about his attorney general. he s complaining that he s not doing enough. you may remember yesterday, the a.g. said my department of justice will not be improperly thought of political what the president wants him to do, he should resign. jeff sessions was not elected president. the fact that we get people letting people like jeff sessions get away with it should indicate this incredible propaganda campaign that has tied the president s hands to do what is necessary to be a successful president. neil: i don t think you would succumb to a propaganda campaign if you didn t like someone on your staff. you would fire them in a heartbeat. some people are saying regardless of what you think, fire him. no. fake news has been created this situation where this the president does what is right so he can assume his authority as president, there will be an avalanche. oh, it s part of the cover-up. neil: that isn t fake news to say the president and his attorney general are back and forth and the president does have a power to fire a cabinet member he doesn t like. he has legal power neil: congressman, you don t like the guy. you hate the guy. you think he s a loser, he s not getting it done. the president calls him mr. mcgoo. fire his ass. the president has the legal power to do something. the dynamics are, you can have people working together, call it a conspiracy, whatever you want, we uncovered evidence that people the very day the president was elected saying neil: i understand. but it s not fake news that the president has the real power and authority to say, you, jeff sessions, have disappointed me. i don t want you on board. i know i m going to get chastised for anymore the middle of covering something up here but i m firing you. that is not fake news. that is the president of the united states. no. hold on. the fake news isn t that. the fake news is what is preventing him and creating the political dynamic of whether if he would conduct himself like you re saying, there would be this mass onslaught claiming he was covering up other things. you know neil: and he has said some things and then said other things to update those things like not knowing payments to these women, whatever you want to call it and then saying, yeah, i did know. you can understand fake news. people are looking at that, congressman and saying you haven t been consistent yourself. well, again, we end up discussing mistakes and perhaps what how he handle himself in a situation rather than the essence of the situation is the president is being blackmailed. this man was being blackmailed. the guy who is mistakingly handling it so every bit of the procedure isn t correct, he s not the villain. the villain is the person blackmailing him. but no, we don t get that at all. neil: it was surreal. i respect the congressman but it takes two to blackmail. if you think you re being blackmailed and you signed the check, it s fair and balanced blackmail. how will this be laying out on the daily mail white house correspondents with us here. lee, where is this going, the back and forth? it looks like it s entered another world. it has entered another world. i mean, i think since the president went down that escalator june 15 or june 16, 2015, we ve been in another world. we are entering a deeper world where things that anybody else would be crucified for, this president doesn t. he somehow gets away with it. but it s getting weirder and weird. his supporters are digging in and supporting him even more. the more hysterical the left gets, the more hysterical the media gets, the more people get mad and angry, the more people say he s right to do what he s doing. everybody is out to get him. it s almost impossible to predict what will happen because this isn t the way things usually go. when there s this kind of a scandal, people say huh, this isn t right. that s not the way things are playing out. neil: it is confusing. i m not a lawyer. it s easier said than done to fire jeff sessions. you wait for him to quit. who cares about it. if you feel that strongly that you got a loser on board, get rid of him rather than drag him out. you re the president of the united states. neil, no, this gets into politics, not legality. of course, there s a legal argument to be made if he got rid of jeff sessions, robert mueller and his team would deal their heels in deeper on allegations of obstruction of justice. however, going to the politics, it s true that as things stand that in the senate, there wouldn t be enough support to confirm someone else to be in jeff sessions position as the attorney general. already the senate judiciary committee is very busy trying to get through president trump s nominees to be on the supreme court bench and they re trying to get that done before october when the new session starts. then you have the november elections as well. just as far as timing goes, it s just not something that the senate judiciary chairman has said that they have time for currently. he signals this week after the supreme court nominee goes through, this is something that they have time to look at. neil: i can understand the president saying he doesn t get a fair shake in the media. he doesn t. but you get ammunition with this kind of stuff. and to play the victim here, i don t know. Business news and analysis. and the policy that he dealt with in a world of slimy guys and b, the problem is now, it looks like those slimy guys are getting immunity and the walls are closing in and he will be lashing out more and more, which will not allow more focus on a growing economy as you head towards november. neil: ladies, thanks very much. you re looking at footage of the president in ohio with if first lady. we ll look into that and the russia probe that has veered very far from a russia probe. what in the end it has nothing to do with russia at all after this. be right back. with moderate to severe crohn s disease, i was there, just not always where i needed to be. is she alright? i hope so. so i talked to my doctor about humira. i learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of crohn s disease after trying other medications. and the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission in as little as 4 weeks. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you ve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you ve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don t start humira if you have an infection. be there for you, and them. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible. could help them save money on car insurance? yea,that and homeowners, renters, motorcycle and boat insurance. huh.that s nice. what happens when you catch a fish? gecko: whoa. geico. more than just car insurance. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable. don t use if you re allergic to otezla . it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. otezla is associated with. .an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts,. .or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. tell your doctor about your medicines and if you re pregnant or planning to be. otezla. show more of you. (gasp) (singsong) budget meeting! sweet. if you compare last quarter to this quarter. various: mmm. it s no wonder everything seems a little better with the creamy taste of philly, made with fresh milk and real cream. with the creamy taste of philly, you might be missing something.y healthy. your eyes. that s why there s ocuvite. ocuvite helps replenish nutrients your eyes can lose as you age. it has lutein, zeaxanthin and omega-3. ocuvite. be good to your eyes. neil: all right. a lot of folks are scratching their head. alan wiselberg who has been a close confidant with donald trump for the better part of a couple decades granted immunity in the michael cohen probe in the russian probe that severing off court. sydney powell here to weigh-in. what do you think is going on here, sydney? it s all conjecture. but it is odd. what do you think? well, i think they probably granted him immunity several months ago as i understand it to develop whatever their case is against michael cohen. now that michael cohen has entered a guilty plea, the probe should be over. if they continue to question him or use him in any way, i think we have to assume that we not only have mission creep by mr. mueller into the southern district of new york but as i said before, creeps on a mission to destroy the president. they ve come at him from every angle humanly possible and beyond our imagination to try to find anything they can to pin on anyone associated with him, which is not what the department of justice or any branch thereof is supposed to do. neil: could it be this severed far from so-called russian collusion and business deals period that it could be related to russia? this would not be the first prosecutorial overreach where it happened. democrats complained about it in the clinton investigation. started with real estate deals and ended up with a relationship with an intern. is this going in that far-flung direction? it certainly could be. that is a big concern. that s why i ve been speaking out for years on the need for criminal justice reform and for the department of justice to focus on crimes instead of individuals. this has branched out way too far. when mueller referred it to the southern district of new york, i was concerned then that he was adding to his team, not handing something off. that looks like where this has gone and is going. neil: so a lot of people are saying, we have to re-visit this about how far prosecutors can go, how long they can keep doing what they do. they never make much progress there. this might be a textbook case because democrats would look back to clinton and say, yeah, we know what you mean. what do you see happening? i m hoping that all of this will spur congress to a bipartisan effort to have systemwide top to bottom criminal justice reform. prosecutors enjoy absolute immunity. they can make up a case against someone, send an innocent person to prison and nothing happens to them except they re promoted like andrew wiseman was after he destroyed author anderson and 85,000 jobs only to be reversed by the supreme court 9-0 two years later. it s all detailed in my book, license to lie. that s what we have to guard against. it s happening all the time, happened to countless americans and i would estimate 10% of our current prison population is completely innocent. neil: but by granting someone immunity, you re giving them a reason to talk or incentive to talk and up until that granting them immunity might not have talked at all because there might not be anything to talk about and it s an insurance policy. exactly. your right. it s a big problem. they often give immunity to people that committed the accessory crimes to stretch the law to criminalize those that haven t but to get a bigger fish. they do it all the time. it s a huge problem. neil: thanks, sydney. sydney powell. best selling author, former federal prosecutor. it s crazy. this severing way out of control regardless of your views, whether it s justified, sticking to the original purpose. despite the controversies, the jeff sessions thing, we re cancelling the trip with secretary pompeo going to north korea because the president is dissatisfied, despite that, we re up a lot today. these guys bet money on events that are happening in real time. they don t see that anything will come of it. are they right? after this. oh! oh! ozempic®! (vo) people with type 2 diabetes are excited about the potential of once-weekly ozempic®. in a study with ozempic®, a majority of adults lowered their blood sugar and reached an a1c of less than seven and maintained it. oh! under seven? (vo) and you may lose weight. in the same one-year study, adults lost on average up to 12 pounds. oh! up to 12 pounds? (vo) a two-year study showed that ozempic® does not increase the risk of major cardiovascular events like heart attack, stroke, or death. oh! no increased risk? ozempic®! ozempic® should not be the first medicine for treating diabetes, or for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. do not share needles or pens. don t reuse needles. do not take ozempic® if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to ozempic®. stop taking ozempic® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, itching, rash, or trouble breathing. serious side effects may happen, including pancreatitis. tell your doctor if you have diabetic retinopathy or vision changes. taking ozempic® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase the risk for low blood sugar. common side effects are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and constipation. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. i discovered the potential with ozempic®. oh! oh! oh! ozempic®! (vo) ask your healthcare provider if ozempic® is right for you. with proskin technology intimates overnight for two times faster absorption so you can have worry free nights, and wake up feeling fresh and free for a free sample visit tena.us things are intensifying and getting worse between the president and his attorney general. now they re sending nasty tweets to each other. no market reaction. reports that the president has stopped his secretary of state from going to north korea for a fourth time because he s dissatisfied with the progress the north koreans are making on denuclearizing. any one of those or all of those events would have torpedos stocks or interrupted them. nothing. what does that tell you? heather, what do you think? i think this week has politics and money on steroids, neil. the market is up and the s&p 25%. despite the political turmoil, the strong underpinnings of the fundamentals of retail sales are off the charts. the economy is doing very well. the president s economic agenda still remains in the forefront. neil: jonas, it s weird but markets can be wrong. they sort of, you know, slough off the original investigations and inquiries in the whitewater scandal with bill clinton. that did intensify the other way when the house was on the verge of impeaching him. what do you think of the market s reaction to this thus far? i think at the end of the day, you can t impeach a tax policy that was already passed. so corporate earnings are higher for a lot of reasons. one of them is the corporate tax rate is lower. you re investing in after-tax earnings. it s a long-term boost for stocks and it s not going away. there s no path for it to go away. the history of tax cuts going away is limited. investors like it, the market likes that. during the late clinton years, the market was very strong. he got in a lot of problems, too. until there was a recession coming down the path, you don t see stocks collapse. something would have to happen to lead to an earning slow down and cause a recession. that what investors are worried about with the high valuations that we re into now. political stuff going on, you know, the stock market did well in the many years of the obama administration where he had little power because he lost control of congress. the worst case for trump, won t be bad for stocks, that s why i don t say it s a threat but the market will tank, it s not likely that could be something to cause economic problems and could neil: and the fundamentals are fine, the earnings are fine. the markets are doing great. he held out the possibility of impeachment and all of that could go to hell in a hand basket. i long held this view that richard nixon could have survived the impeachment push with a better economy. we didn t have that then. we had oil embargoes and higher energy prices, inflation. you name it. maybe i m not minimizing what went on with watergate but he might have survived in the markets were stronger, this president has a economy and a market that is strong. bill clinton had that. could that be in his favor no matter mueller report? it could be in his favor. president trump said that if he s impeached, the market will crash. because he s the mastermind behind deregulation and tax cuts. investors are saying that tax cuts were passed, democrats are in favor of higher taxes, they might try to reverse that, raise corporate taxes and makes us less competitive and eats into corporate profits. president trump has rolled back regulations. if you increase that neil: mess with him, you mess with that. there you go. not good. nixon had good policies on a bad copy. he wasn t popular. popularity is important as well. those are things that sway things. i get you re right. if there was a strong economy, nixon could have gone for it. nobody thought that that was a good move. today things are different. what people tolerate in the behavior of politicians is totally different than then. you need a trying tore cause a economic slow down. could that be something the president does or doesn t do? maybe. right now the other stuff isn t going to be the reason that stocks fall. if they do, it will be a co incident. we re going to be swinging this and a lot of detail tomorrow on cavuto live at 10:00 a.m. through noon. we ll explore the phenomenon. the national inquirer has a lot of damaging stories about donald trump leading up to the 2016 presidential election. they re being kept in a vault. so immediately i thought about al capone s vault. i thought that didn t work out. what about this? after this. (vo) love. i got it. i gotcha baby. (vo) it s being there when you re needed most. he s the one. (vo love is knowing. it was meant to be. and love always keeps you safe. (vo) love is why we built a car you can trust for a long time. the all-new subaru impreza sedan and five-door. a car you can love no matter what road you re on. the subaru impreza. more than a car, it s a subaru. right now, get 0% apr financing on the 2018 subaru impreza. neil: they say the national inquirer has this safe with all of these donald trump secrets, stories that never ran, information you never knew until now. really? after this. hroom with recurring constipation and belly pain talk to your doctor and say yesss! to linzess. yesss! linzess treats adults with ibs with constipation or chronic constipation. linzess can help relieve your belly pain, and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements. linzess is not a laxative. it works differently to help you get ahead of your recurring constipation and belly pain. do not give linzess to children less than 6, and it should not be given to children 6 to less than 18. it may harm them. do not take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it s severe, stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach area pain, and swelling. so say yesss! to help for recurring constipation. yesss! to help for belly pain. talk to your doctor and say yesss! linzess. neil: apparently the national inquirers kept a safe containing documents, hush money, payments for damaging stories killed because of a close relationship with donald trump. i don t know what is true there. but the safe containing information seems so al caponish. anyway, michael knows his stuff inside and out. he s our big gun following that. i know what is in the vault, neil. the cavuto file is vast. i m going to do what the president should do. we talked about this. i m going to say i was young and i needed the money. okay? just get it out there. neil: obviously you hear that. they have the stories what is the expression catch and kill. neil: do a lot of publishers ami, the owner of the national inquirer, they own practically ever tabloid, this is their thing. they do this in hollywood. they buy the rights for lives and stories and put them in a drawer. neil: when they do a catch and kill, the cynical view is here that they re very close to donald trump. don t want to do anything to embarrass donald trump. so just table it. yeah. look, the national inquirers, this is the first candidate they have ever endorsed for president. 30% of their covers in 2016 were pro trump or anti-hillary. a lot of people are sort of talking about the facebook effect in this election. the national inquirer had an impact. a little more insidious when facebook when you think about it. you don t have to buy the magazine. millions of people going through checkout lines, look to the left and see hillary is being indicted and it makes an impression on them. neil: so what do you read of the editor is granted immunity. we re not sure. he must have something or offered something that would allow him to be granted immunity. the thinking is one assumes that they have something in this vault that could implicate trump in a bigger crime, per se. at this point, i don t think neil: if you re these guys, there s some harm or punishment or charge or indictment is coming my way if i don t do something like this. uh-huh. neil: maybe there s nothing maybe immunity is a way to take that off the table. at this point what could we find out that will hurt this president? it s not going to hurt his base. after that that access hollywood neil: even the checks of these two women, you could argue what do you have to worry about? he survived the fallout from that. so anything was the american people rendered their verdict on election day and he got 335 electoral votes. neil: we didn t know that at the time. we did. neil: maybe they were just being extra cautious in this. in the case of the national inquirer and killing the story, do you know of others in the entertainment industry because stars get obsessed and they hear a sure. neil: a publication will say something nasty about them.they cancel it because they want to maintain good relations. the wall street journal said this with governor schwarzenegger at the time. there was a story about his love child and they caught and killed it and got him to cooperate with other the fitness publication. neil: so where do you think this goes? we don t know. every day neil: you do know. dropping a different card every day. we heard about trump s cfo. i think the president should come out and just act of contrition or penance, harkening back to my catholic school days. it would take the oxygen out of this. the american people are forgiving. neil: he s acknowledged that he was behind the checks that went out to these women. unless there s something more heinous, you ll have to think down the road those that want to go wards impeachment, what here would warrant it? the other question about this as we re making our way through it, it s a broader question, cavuto. you know, at one point the national inquirer for the most part, if you hear that someone bought a story, the credibility of the story is taken is in doubt. now all of a sudden we re assuming these stories are true. it s an interesting place we re at right now in this. neil: you re not questioning can eight feet aliens? and big foot. i saw elvis at lunch. he said hello. neil: there s nothing there. did it as an insurance policy to protect himself. michael, you re the best. thank you. thank you. neil: he s always in a good mood. my favorite cavuto. neil: he s never down. always for you, neil. a friday in the summer. clooney awaits me in the hamptons. i said no, cavuto needs me. save me a lobster roll. neil: meantime, we re finding out that jack dorsey has only a couple of hours, the end of the business day, which would be about 20 minutes from now to testify before congress and agree that he will or it could get nasty. put that in a short tweet after this. motorcycle revving motorcycle revving motorcycle revving motorcycle revving no matter who rides point, there are over 10,000 allstate agents riding sweep. and just like tyrone taylor, they know what it takes to help keep you protected. are you in good hands? chair, new laptop, 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. like these for only $2 or less at office depot officemax. neil: apparently twitter s ceo jack dorsey has until the end of the business day to agree to testify in congress or you re going to be subpoenaed. a lot of these allegations are over how he his has a left leaning opinion after he said he was left leaning. here s cat sims with more. what will come of this? i don t think much will come of it. it can be frustrating to see the bias and twitter has to do a better job policing liberal and conservatives. that s something that twitter has to do. i agree with you. i get leery when the government tries to fix something because they generally makes it worse and it s the strong arm of government. he himself has admitted what many others in the industry do not that he s left leaning. but what do you do about that? like i said, we have to continue to put pressure and say hey, as conservatives, we noticed this. why was this person banned but this person wasn t but this person on the right was banned. he obviously responds to pressure. remember when he didn t ban alex jones and he s a thoughtful guy trying to do the right thing. he has biases, but he s trying to do the right thing. i wonder what he would say to congress if he came before them. yeah, there s no way of knowing. he would say his bias doesn t interfere. that is what he has said before. his bias doesn t interfere with his ability to do his job. i don t know if that is true in any one s case. we all have biases and they affect how we use the world. do you use twitter? i m on twitter approximately 23 hours a day. neil: why? i don t know why. neil: that s more than the president. it s cess pole. neil: why you like to be on twitter so much? i don t know. i can connect with people. it s fun. neil: pick up the phone. hello. yeah. i guess. i like to know what people think. i like when i see a nice comment. not when say shut up, i know. i never had braces. now i m too old for braces. what do you want me to do? it s okay. i m confident in my teeth. neil: you re beautiful. don t pay attention to that. but bottom line, it s not going to chase away all of this. people will still use it. people will still use it especially with the president using twitter instead of doing press conferences. he s a stream of consciousness. it would probably make his life easier if he didn t do that. but as someone that tweets a lot, how cathartic. if i was a president, i would have a difficult time as well. neil: president timpf. there s a scary thought. more after this. wasn t my top priority. until i held her. i found my tresiba® reason. now i m doing more to lower my a1c. i take tresiba® once a day. tresiba® controls blood sugar for 24 hours for powerful a1c reduction. (woman) we d been counting down to his retirement. it was our tresiba® reason. he needs insulin to control his high blood sugar and, at his age, he s at greater risk for low blood sugar. tresiba® releases slow and steady and works all day and night like the body s insulin. (vo) tresiba® is a long-acting insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes. don t use tresiba® to treat diabetic ketoacidosis, during episodes of low blood sugar, or if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. don t share needles or insulin pens. don t reuse needles. the most common side effect is low blood sugar, which may cause dizziness, sweating, confusion, and headache. check your blood sugar. low blood sugar can be serious and may be life-threatening. injection site reactions may occur. tell your prescriber about all medicines you take and all your medical conditions. taking tzds with insulins like tresiba® may cause serious side effects like heart failure. your insulin dose shouldn t be changed without asking your prescriber. get medical help right away if you have trouble breathing, fast heartbeat, extreme drowsiness, swelling of your face, tongue or throat, dizziness or confusion. (man) i found my tresiba® reason. find yours. (vo) ask your health care provider about tresiba®. covered by most commercial health insurance and medicare part d plans. i ve gotten thousands of these. we were surprised how many fit into one of the ten overall themes outlined here trying to divide why i made these comments. these represent them. the ten possible reasons why many of you think i stayed what i said about a president i thought had and has gone too far. here s the first category. cavuto just hates trump. consider t.j. once a never trumper, always a never trumper. should we be surprised that cavuto has blasted a man he never liked. first, over 30 years, i respected him. he s built a remarkable empire that has queen from its queens new york roots to the multibillion dollar conglomerate across the globe. why so many were dismissing his presidential run, i did not. those of you that are going to dismiss the real estate developer that says he is worth north of $9 million do so at your own peril. whether you like him or not, dispute the messenger, the not dispute his message. he s riding atop most polls. so much for being a flash in the past. you realized trump is no passing fad. this is the first time that donald trump would be bigger than ebb expected. he s the republican candidate for president of the united states. neil: so i think i ve been very fair and balanced before he was president. so category 2. cavuto is a left wing lunatic. funny, i never remember cavuto saying anything bad about barack obama. once a looney liberal, always a looney liberal. wrong. i said plenty of critical things about president obama including his healthcare plan that i pointed out put too much control in the hands of the government and didn t sound liberal to me. mr. president, fox news isn t what making america healthcare sick about your healthcare law. his candidate loss and he cannot know why. hi thinks he doesn t have the heart to admit he might be the reason why. the first president since herbert hoover not to have 1 year of 3% growth. mr. president, that was you. i also said a lot of good things about him. that s what fair and balanced is about. including his handling of a economy out of a financial melt down albeit with the federal reserve keeping interest rates near zero. category three. cavuto is reading the changing winds of fox. jonathan is trying to suck it up to the new liberal bosses that never liked trump. too little too late to me. you might find this hard to believe. i ve been critical on mr. trump before the murdock boys took over. and they don t talk to me. they don t e-mail me. in fact, ever. it s okay. category 4. cavuto is angry he s not been granted an interview. lindsey says, you ll never get that trump interview now, bone head. i m not a bonehead. maybe a fat head. but back to this issue. my desperate quest for a sit down with the president. how many times do i have to say this? i don t want an interview with the president. i haven t requested for one, i don t angle for one. i haven t remotely hinted for one. now, i chatted with donald trump many times over the years, just zero interest now. even if i were, this approach would not be the best way to go about it. i take nothing away from anybody here that has interviewed the president. he always generates new with each and all. they all do a great job. i feel i would be so busy trying to get him to clarify and explain his past positions and reversals that before i knew it i would be out of time. it wouldn t be worth it. so i never request it ever. then there s category 5. this was popular. it s cavuto s meds. this one sums it up. i like to give cavuto the benefit of the doubt. he had heart surge representative. maybe it s the drugs. his mind is playing tricks on him. that s why he never says a good thing about trump or the booming market. mitch, your brain is fried. i remember saying otherwise. this market is the bomb. we re in a freaking stock bomb cyclone. they are great number. so good the market wondering how do you top that? some have a feeling there s got to be a give back here a slow down here. we don t see it. a lot of what we ve seen is based on lower regulations, more positive environment. a lot of these guys might not be big fans of donald trump but they are big fans of what donald trump is cooking up. big tax cuts. neil: does that sound like a guy or drugs? not red, not blue. green. i m about to always be the green, the money. how much is being made, how much is being lost regardless of the president. yes, even with this president, there s no agenda here. how can i convince you of that? category 6. cavuto is a rhino and rhinos hate trump. he s parts of the deep state that is deeply depressed. trump threatens his very existence and it has rhino fat boy s sweating, again with the fat thing. did you write this? i don t know what a globalist is unless you re talking about my waist line. i live in new jersey, by the way, marshall. if that s a deep state, i have to find a cheaper place. seriously, save the conspiracy theories for someone who has the time or interest. i don t. category seven cavuto is trying to be relevant. he s trying to pump up his rates. i didn t know that aol is still around. touche. but how exactly would criticizing the president here on fox help my ratings? curious. category 8. cavuto has gone rogue! this sums it up. cavuto must have a death wish now. he seems to want to be fired. you re talking to the wrong guy about death wishes and being afraid of them. if i do have such wishes, i ve had them for a long time. i ve been saying stuff about the president for a long time that would be a long death wish there. category 9, cavuto wants to be cool. buddy in buffalo. maybe this is cavuto s way of being cool. he will tweet out this nonsense to his media pals desperately hoping to like him. you know they hate his fat phony ass. that fat stuff again. it s a consistent theme. buddy, you don t mind, do you think this is about being cool? i m very comfortable not being cool. by the way, do i look cool to you? i m okay. i think i m cool precisely because i m not cool. how is that? and i don t tweet. my show staff will send out alerts about what i m doing, guests. but me, i m not a tweeter or instagramer, snap chatter. i don t understand these technologies. i respect them but i don t get into communicating on them. they don t exactly encourage me with what i ve seen their use in the past. they have a lot of comments and silly and petty exchanges especially amongst my classy colleagues. they sound so petty. so no, not me and i suspect not cool but you ll have to deal. category 10. cavuto is just desperate. one says the problem with cavuto is desperate. he s always changing. when things look good for trump, he s for trump. when they don t, he s for bashing the guy. he s scared. that s all cavuto is, a scarety cat phony and wouldn t know how to deal with adversity if it smacked him in the cheeks. here s my favorite part. his toupee is faker than he is. ollie, you hardly know me. if looks can be deceiving, we might be amazed these days that this prompter reader, i can handle quite a bit.

earned himself a mere suddenly a lifeline and several leaders club up no matter what are all good at the top match day live it is done and dusted here we go. fire looks mighty impressive indeed classic of verses dublin on saturday leaving the visitors dazed and confused in munich should don t mince coach be all the hot seat and will cover the remaining action from the match day which include. table leaders blockbuster who were back at home facing an out of form they had a brain me. welcome to the but as they get here on the w i m chris here he did joining me for sunday should dick in the studio are ali always in a good mood moody how you doing ali chris always a pleasure to see you on a sunday and i m really excited to have fellow american dave reneke in the studio are you ready to talk the bundesliga and i m excited to be here glad to hear you know 1st things 1st we need to address dick classic and the way byron de railed dortmund off their track of success on saturday the defending champions went from lackluster to dortmund buster ali i ll start with you did you see this coming considering the momentum going into the match no not at all especially with by and i did not say bye and pulling 4 goals out of the head you know i must admit i thought this was going to be a pretty low quality classic compared to some of the other games we ve had last season for example had a great 1st class here of the season. but you know by teams have been pretty poor form so far this season dropping a lot of points by an overseas sent their coach dortmund perhaps a thought about 2nd that coach already so i did not think this was going to be the best that we ve seen in recent years dortmund lived up to that and even more but by and i mean for them to come out with something like that just a week after the coach was sacked is ready special they were helping have side by a really passive dorman defense the way they let on dusky just ghoster on the books at will without anyone following him was just not good enough no you did expect more from us homos maybe now dave both $11.00 and made history you know after the match are they back on track back to business as usual yeah i don t know if we could call it business as usual or the good old byron i mean of course live in dusty you can t not talk about him he s got 16 goals in 11 games and he has bailed them out of a lot of tight situations this season but i mean it s easy to forget the fact that . even last season after a few cocoa votes won the double they were already talking about firing him and so there s always this kind of tension around bahrain where you don t really know what to expect or even when they re doing well they have their criticisms so it s hard to know exactly where they re at right now right you know if you know under the regime will obviously was left out now he s given an opportunity to shy can t they were publicly shopping for coaches now they say haji flick he s all good for the time being should he be the solution well i mean we got a hold of horses a little bit with the flick i mean 2 great results i thought of easily in the champions league and then demolition against dortmund but you ve got to see more than one a couple of games to become the buying coach this is by and munich we re talking about coaches that they ve had in recent years the likes of columbine shalott say you know your point is obviously have. the flick would be a kind of outlier in the run of things and you know i think we could perhaps see fleet left in charge for the rest of this year up to christmas you know 6 weeks or whatever given that little chance to prove himself should he be that s at the end of the season after that if they want to change that is the time to do it then you ve got the whole winter break to bring someone else in let them have a bit of time with the players let them implement the new tactics and just go for the return to the back of the season he s not an owner it s least vehicle right now you know for the flick now the other coach don t miss lucy a fiver a should he be on the hot seat is he losing his players i mean you know what s wrong with norman right now yeah i mean i think at this point he has to be on the hot seat at least don t have any real intentions of winning this and really competing for the title i think he just the team lacks a bit of that mentality we see them collapse in big game like this or in games like like against in your own where they lost 31 you expect that to be easy for them and they just can t quite pull it out so i think it s time you got at least got some wind soon and a superstar s need to be in form i mean. james and shogun called off because coming out of the match because he s out of form obviously to i m going to have to repair you know their most important pieces let s talk. the top of the table folds have yet to lose a match once they take the lead against their opponents there was no pressure on the current league leaders to lose the top spot when they hosted bed of braman a struggling side whose last win came back in september. club bokken top school remark is to ram came into this one full of confidence after their last year of the league win over roma and midweek from the bench by 80 gave them the lead on 20 minutes the algerians celebrating his 1st win just like people. had a. dream in keeper your republic because timing was far from ideal to come and took advantage to no to blood i lanka cleaned out but heaven was alive to it and finished calmly. braman coach florian ko felt frustrated not least after davy class and 2nd half penalty was saved by so much. on 60 minutes come on wrap things up 3 nil heavens 2nd of the much and 4th of the season the perfect way to celebrate becoming a dad. then bends by uni got his marching orders for the 2nd yellow. braman managed a consolation goal truly the team could but glad took the spoils for the one the final score and they celebrated another week at the top of the league with herman leading the champs. so dave i ll pick up the conversation back with you glad when with these old of it over vedder braman you know was a foles get it hit no i can catch up that s exactly the case they really can t be stopped right now and i think a lot of that is due to market holes there s a reason our saying my here is one of the most sought after coaches in the offseason or even leading into last season when bloodbath signed him he s been really good he has them firing on all cylinders and it s important that he inherited a really strong team of course jordan has left in the off season but they brought in bolo and. so they they ve really built up what was already strong core and we re seeing it now when they re at their best no one can keep up here is a good point now speaking about ollie he. i ve been on fire lately you know this match in particular we have. come through with the brace the falls i mean their attacks they have a lot of monsters in their live show absolutely those 2 guys that you mentioned certainly have been some of the big players for them this year on really looks rejuvenating this season on the mako rose i have to say of course as well as the hype machine so far in the bundesliga he s got the famous dad obviously that is doing it myself you know his performances have warranted a lot of attention but look past them as well you guys like some player who was such a big hit for got back last season definitely right on the 4 goals so far in the lake but 5 assists as well and then you have already mentioned another young who also gives them a lot perhaps when the other guys a tiring or whatever someone he can throw in as an impact south and i think these guys are playing for each other and that is the real success of what marco rosa has done so far and when they re flying nobody can put up with the ok 2 more matches to get through the frankfurt eagles flew to the black forest to faced freiburg but 1st labor who is it the wolves have had no bite lately losing their last 3 across multiple competitions could their home crowd help them lick their wounds. after their win over a politically madrid midweek leaf accusing we re back on the industry good business with a trip to false work and the sisters got their noses in front in the 25th minute through county nobby wingers driving run was too much for the hosts and with time almost up for crews and people getting to bed wholly new bursting to find. to deal with the week into the international break. out a good lead this weekend but mainly our poll has been there coming back from the national team so we ve lost each and every game after the national team break so we have to emphasise on that next up for them friday. the busiest man in freiburg school much against front foot was ready to read through these clues over time. the penalty call with the help of the video assistant. on dejected just fernandez for a 2nd yellow card offense leaked the 1st time. freiburg lengthy one man advantage paid off in the 77 minutes when he was paid to sit and use the acres of space afforded him to fire. the much. but who was again in the limelight and stoppage time had been dubbed the compost condominium on the sidelines after knocking as a type of christian strike i am suing for a come in red card on 5 it s been changing the full on the yellow card to the front of the system so the emotional ending overshadowed the hard won win for freiburg. after all of that action which should we talk about 1st think of freiburg in frankfurt is a good place to start ali you know freiburg they won the match but what s the deal with david abraham knocking down freiburg head coach like that this is one of the craziest things i ve seen in a football game in the last few years he just flew off the touchline that in the end obsolete cloth that christians are going to say again here just as it was absolutely nothing you can see the freiburg bench. so you actresses right the fans ended up getting a red card as well despite not actually been acting class time but looking at that . is it is the full force that i mean maybe he knows what he s doing but i think that an eyebrow can have any complaints that if he could be looking a long battle that could be 5 or 6 guys he could have easily sides then the coach easily you know and then he doesn t have to taste defeat you know as well unfortunate now speaking about being defeated dave on to the wolves what s wrong with the bulls i mean they were undefeated they had that badge of honor now seems like it s all wrecked they re looking pretty woeful at the moment down 7 games in all competitions without a win and they only have to. losses and 2 draws in their last 4 but this league games they still the best offense in the league but they just can t score so they re never going to do that great if they keep that up right yet in the number of draws obviously felt the wind would tip them either way and obviously they re getting the short end of the stick right now. and now for another topic this match day robert they hand over a german national goalkeeper took his own life 10 years ago and this weekend there was a moment of silence in all the stadiums. robert and because death was a big shock for the whole of germany hardly anyone except his close family knew that he was severely depressed now his widower mates determined to raise awareness about mental health in sports. you mention yeah a very sad story what s changed since then well i think there s a lot more awareness that even professional athletes even wealthy special operators can have mental health problems so it s not just a good thing definitely a part well that s full time for us i d like to thank our guests polly moody and dave pranic be sure to tune in next max think. of it is an. education is the future. how is the situation worldwide. global $3000.00 takes a look which educational models create opportunities for the future. what does it mean to learn in an interconnected world with ever increasing expectations. google. 3000 next. night everything changed. the night every day people made history. led by the country came together ed was. there 30 minutes. to personally.
and yet another democrat who has taken the seat previously held by a republican incumbent. again, that one not yet called but sort of uncalled at this point. that does it for us tonight. see you again tomorrow. now it s time for the last word with lawrence o donnell. good evening, rachel. so 98 women now have seats in the house of representatives. a new record high. could be 99 depending on how some of the rest of these counts shakeout. it really was an extraordinary night for women candidates. yeah, and people said this was going to be the year of the woman, year of the woman and lots of cynics and nay sayers were like you always say that whenever you want democrats to win. first of all, democrats did win. but second of all you ve got 1en women in the house of representatives for the first time ever and it s pretty undeniable. it they went down against female democrats. and tonight, rachel, when we see the afternoon breaking news of the president firing the attorney general, i m just imagining what our world would be tonight if the democrats had not won the house of representatives, a huge win that changes the nature of trumpism in washington. yeah, and i don t think that there s a disconnect between these two stories. the democrats want control of congress, and the president immediately took steps to do everything he could to pull out all the steps to try to end the special counsel s investigation into him and his campaign before the democrats are sworn in for this new congress, which would put them in a position to protect that investigation. this is desperate move out of fear by this president. it s a radical move the way he s done it, and we are in a very uncertain moment here in terms of how this proceeds. but of course and there s no way of knowing if this president has been advised of this, that the new democratic house of representatives will be able to obtain the fruits of that investigation no matter what happens to it twoen nbetween no the time they take office. there is nothing donald trump can do to stop where that investigation will eventually go. they can t do anything to make what s already happened in the investigation go away, but they can certainly take steps to try and stop it from moving any further forward. i mean, it remains to be seen. the thing i m most trrinteresten right now is to what means we ll have transparency? the house judiciary committee can simply invite robert mueller up to testify at any point and tell exactly, exactly what the acting attorney general is doing every single day. especially anything involving interference. that s right. and actually that s a record you can t make go away either. you can t erase the past. thank you, rachel. thanks, lawrence. two years. for two long years america waited. since election day on november 8, 2016, most americans, most voters have been waiting for the chance to do something about what happened to this country. on election day and election night 2016, when the candidate who came in second in the vote was awarded the presidency through the outdated and anti-democratic institution of the electoral college. american voters did not want donald trump to be president but the electoral college gave it to him. for two years americans have disapproved of the trump presidency every day of that presidency, every single day for two years. and yesterday american voters rose up in resistance to the trump presidency and handcuffed donald trump. the day after donald trump was inaugurated the resistance to donald trump took to the streets not just in washington but around this country and around the world in the biggest worldwide organized protest in history, and last night that resistance took over the house of representatives. and today trump is clinging to the wreckage of the trump government and panicking. the trump government has included the white house and both houses of congress and now the trump government is broken, very broken because the democrats have the house of representatives. and if donald trump s newly installed political hack of an acting attorney general takes action against special prosecutor robert mueller, the democratic house of representatives will bring robert mueller to testify publicly about exactly how the acting attorney general has interfered with his investigation. and the democratic house of representatives will move to impeach the president of the united states for obstruction of justice. they will do it. they will have to do it. they will have no choice. the new members of the house of representatives will demand it, and they will get it. impeachment is real now. and so the president s panicked firing of his attorney general today has moved donald trump one step closer to impeachment and the new trump acting attorney general matthew whittaker will also be investigated by the democratic house of representatives for obstruction of justice if he interferes with the mueller investigation in any way. and so matthew whittaker has to ask himself tonight, if he wants to be the subject of a criminal investigation run by a democratic justice department two years from now because all of the indicators in last night s election indicate that the democrats will win back the senate two years from now and will win back the white house two years from now, and so there will be a democratic attorney general two years from now. republicans held onto the senate last night because 26 democratic incumbent senators, most of the democrats in the senate were running for re-election while only nine republican seats were up for re-election. and the next in the next election that will be reversed. republicans will have the defend 21 seats while democrats will be defending only 1. and the lesson that every republican senator learned last night is not one of them is safe, not one. one of the big stars of this last campaign showed republican senators that every one of them has something to worry about, something to fear. beto o rourke came within 3 points of knocking out a republican senator in texas where the democrats have not won a senate election since 1988. they haven t come close since 1988. there will be another senate race in texas two years from now when john cornyn seeks re-election. how do you think john cornyn is feeling tonight? he no longer thinks his re-election is going to be easy. he s taking nothing for granted. democrats would have been delirious if beto o rourke won last night. but even if beto o rourke won the republicans would still control the senate with at least 51 republican senators. and so beto o rourke s campaign was exciting and it redefined what is possible for democrats in so many ways, in every state in this country. and it certainly created momentum in texas that helped elect two new democratic members in texas, and on that ticket beto o rourke creating all that excitement in texas. for democrats wondering what happens with those political rock stars like beto o rourke after he loses a senate race, they can think of what happened to george h.w. bush who lost a senate race in texas. and the next political office that he decided to run for was president of the united states. and in that campaign he won the vice presidential slot on ronald reagan s ticket. and after that he won the presidency. and so for democrats who were rooting for beto o rourke and want to see more from beto o rourke, the only thing they need tonight is patience. the crisis in american government, the trump crisis is a washington crisis. there is nothing democratic governors can do to stop donald trump. and so for the governing emergency that america has face f for the last two years, but really mattered last night is what happened in the democratic takeover in the house of representatives. it is a huge victory for the democrats and for democracy. in a country where democracy does not always win, as we saw in the last presidential election. last night 51 million votes were counted for the democrats running for the house of representatives. 47 million votes were counted for the republicans. 4 million more votes were counted for the democrats, and this time the party that got the most votes won. this time democracy won, and democracy had to fight against jerry mandered congressional districts rigged by republicans to defy democracy. democracy had to fight against voter suappreciation where republican controlled states tried to make voting as difficult as possible because they know democracy is their enemy. democracy won. we couldn t say that two years ago, and that s why america had a sickening feeling on election night two years ago. most voters had a sickening feeling because in a country that prides itself on its democracy wree watched democracy defeated in an election two years ago. the resistance won last night, and donald trump feels that resistance today. he felt it in the white house press conference where he actually sent a white house staffer to try to wrestle a microphone away from a reporter, something we have never seen before in the history of white house press conferences. this was a press conference out of control. the president held a press conference today in which he tried to appear as if he was ready to work with a democratic house of representatives, as if he is not terrified of a democratic house of representatives including a democratic house of representative s legal authority to obtain his tax returns and make them public. but because donald trump is the most incoherent speaker in the history of american politics he rambled as he lied, he angrily attacked reporters, he displayed his delusions for the world to see, and he said things that even his most fervent supporters do not believe, like i am a great moral leader. and as usual in his desperation to appear in control of the new situation in washington, donald trump made absolutely no sense. i m not sure that i should be happy or sad. mea love gave me no love. for that, i don t blame her. two years is going to go up and we won t have done a thing. it really could be a beautiful bipartisan-type of situation. if they do that, then just all of it is a war-like posture. eren water has to be perfect. so environmental is very important to me. for the most part i m very happy with this cabinet. i could fire everybody right now. they re extremely complex, people wouldn t understand them. the election is over. now everybody is in love. they re the ones that cause the division. they cause tremendous division. they will be blamed. let s impeach him. they ll impeach mike pence. and can i be honest with you? joining us now john heilemann, wendy sherman is joining us, msnbc affairs contributor and ezra klein. first to you on the returns last night, this is a trump nightmare. it has now happened to him. the democrats have control of the house of representatives. his life changes in ways that he still, i think, cannot yet imagine. yeah, that s right, lawrence. and you watched last night unfold. election night are always emotional especially for democrats who attach themselves for understandable reasons to the fortunes of charismatic candidates trying to do new things and make-lace. people like stacey abrams, like andrew gillum, like beto o rourke and they saw them fall. you could sense how people were emotional invested, unhappy about that and they were fearful they were seeing in 2018 a rerun of 2016. and then those house seats started to fall starting around really in a rush around the time 10:00, around the late 9:00 hour, around 10:00 and suddenly you realized what was happening, which was that in the end as crushing for some people some of those high profile losses were that the history books will write only about one thing last night. it will not write about those thirty-two candidates, not about the fact donald trump s republican party gained a couple of seats in the senate at a time when the senate map favored republican tuesday a degree not seen in 100 years. it will write about the fact that unitary government in washington is now over and for the first time in trump s political life one branch of government or half of one branch of government is controlled by the opposition party. and that will be the thing that should be the headline out of last night, what the history books write about, and the consequences for donald trump s pl political agenda and certainly his own and entire cabinet s need to lawyer up. a record amount of women elected. before you comment on that, let s listen to some of those women who won last night. when we launched this campaign conventional wisdom dictated that this race was unwinnable. we voted and we won, and we did all of this together. today is a milestone, but it is really a beginning. it will hear my voice, it will hear your voice. it will hear all of our voices. we re taking our voice to washington. here in minnesota we don t only welcome immigrants, we send them to washington. wendy sherman, crow marched in that womens march the day after the trump inauguration where the resistance physically formed and joined together in the streets for the first time. the resistance won the house of representatives last night. it was really extraordinary, lawrence. and i agree with john, this is what history is going to write about. and i was talking to former senator barbara mccullsky who i had the honor of running her campaign for the u.s. senate. 32 years ago she became the first democratic senator ever elected in her own right. and she joined the single other u.s. senator nancy castbound in the senate. people said at the time the toga didn t come in a size 4 petite. and she said i m a 25-year overnight success, and this is what senators are going to look like. and we saw that in large numbers last night with enormous diversity to boot. veterans, moms, business women, folks who have been in elective office before, folks who had not been before. the gender gap in the democratic party is quite large. i think it s a testament as we face the 100th women anniversary of suffrage i think it s going to bring real energy to this congress that s going to be seated in january. as we know the economic statistics are very, very good at this point. they mirror the economic statistics of the last 20 months or so of the obama administration. really, really strong economic statistics. so there are some formulations today indicating that no president has ever lost this badly in the house. when the economic statistics are this strong. this is what makes this result so remarkable. so we re at 3.7% unemployment, we re at full employment. if you look at polling about the economy, what people think about the economy, people say the economy is in great shape. it s the best time in decades to get a job. and when you have that is the greatest gift a political party can have, that is when you win seats. donald trump despite having one of the best economies in decades, he has not cracked 50% not once. and then in his first mid-term election, he had a 7% to 8 percentage point house popular vote against his own party. that s a bigger popular vote margin in 20150 when unemployment was 9.8%. so republicans managed to make people angrier than 3.7% unemployment than democrats did when unemployment was 9.8%. i think one reason it doesn t always get appreciated that way is donald trump s initial rise was so unexpected the media is often very loathe to say he s actually not that good at politics. he actually underperforms where we think any president would be given these economic conditions. this is terrible purchase. imagine what these results would have looked like if unemployment was 5.7% or 6.7%? and two years from now it s very possible donald trump will not be running as such a good economy as he has now, and then what? john heilemann, the news media always uses the word gridlock as if it s a negative. there is such a thing as good gridlock, and that s when the gridlock is stopping bad government. and we can only wish those interested in good government, we can only wish there could have been gridlock for the last two years in the congress. the democrats are now positioned to stop anything and everything that donald trump wants to do ledg legislatively. there s a reason why the founders split the legislative body into two, the upper house and the lower house, and part of the design there was so that those houses could be controlled by opposing parties. there were other reasons for the different designs of the house of representatives than the way the senate is designed, but there was a case it was forethought about the notion you would want to a context in which republican could control, democrats could control another, and it would keep either side from enacting strong policies and cause both sides to meet somewhere in the middle and compromise. that is where we re headed towards now, and i think that s a big part of the reason why they now control the house because people did in fact want the gridlock we re describing. the president steps out on the stage today, demonstrates to the country his wild incoherence, aggressiveness with reporters to a level we ve never seen, literally trying to get the microphones grabbed away from the reporters. utter chaos in a white house press briefing room. and the notion that the house the democrats and the house of representatives will sit there in opposition to everything that that president wants to do could be very appealing to a vast majority of voters at this point. i agree with that. and if you look at the comparison between i think the panic that the president was feeling in that room and the calm of nancy pelosi who is likely most definitely going to be the speaker of the house again, a woman who really understands how to hold that caucus together. a lot of people don t think that congresswoman pelosi is the greatest television communicator in the world, but let me tell you something, she can communicate with her caucus, she can get things done. but that s something about a lot of the women coming into the congress. they re about getting the job done. we re often called to do the cleanup. i think it s time for us to do the cleanup again. and ezra klein, the house ways and means committee as well as the finance committee controlled by republicans, they both have the right to get any tax return they want, including mine or president trump s. and so richie neil who s the new chairman of the house and ways committee will be able to request that. that request actually goes to the treasury secretary, and treasury secretary doesn t really have any discretion, but we are likely to see some kind of fight between the ways and means committee chair and the treasury secretary over the president s tax return and the notion that that same president will then be trying to cooperate in some way with the house of representatives on legislation is just inconceivable. i think this was something that was really interesting in the press conference today. donald trump came out and he said, if you investigate me, i won t work with you on legislation. if you don t investigate me, i will work with you on legislation. he put those things as opposition, which is often not how they re done. there are a couple of interesting ideas embedded in that. one is whether democrats want to work with him on legislation, whether that s good for them, which i think is pretty open question. but the other is that democrats are going to have this pretty difficult choice. and it goes to speaker pelosi who s an incredibly disciplined leer and tactician. do they want to run this where they re creating normalcy and trapping donald trump in policy? do they want to basically run a strategy they would have run against any, try to get him trapped or in investigations? that i think is the going to be the defining tactical choice for them in the next couple of years. thank you very much for starting us off on this important night. appreciate it. and when we come back congressman eric swalwell, an important member of what will be the new majority of the house of representatives will join us with his reaction to the democratic what the democratic house of representatives will do to protect special prosecutor s investigation in the united states. and jill wine-banks will join us with her view. i m ray and i quit smoking with chantix. i tried cold turkey, i tried the patch. they didn t work for me. i didn t think anything was going to work for me until i tried chantix. chantix, along with support, helps you quit smoking. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. i needed that to quit. when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. some people had changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, or suicidal thoughts or actions with chantix. serious side effects may include seizures, new or worse heart or

where we would be tonight if the democrats had not won the house of representatives. we would be living in a hugely different world. president trump would have fired his attorney general today, as he did, but he would have nothing to fear from a house of representatives controlled by republicans if his new acting attorney general fires robert mueller or eliminates the special prosecutor s budget or tries to nrts feinterfere with special prosecutor in any way. a republican house of representatives would clear ahe of that. tonight the acting attorney general matthew whittaker has to worry about a house of representatives investigating him personally as a president of the united states for obstruction of justice if matthew whittaker interferes with the mueller investigation. matthew whittaker should have a very short run as acting attorney general because he will be out of a job as soon as the senate confirms a new attorney general. the senate will presumably do that early next year after mitt romney has been sworn in as utah s new junior senator. today mitt romney tweeted i want to thank jeff sessions for his service to our country as attorney general. under acting attorney general matthew whittaker it is imperative that the important work of the justice department continues and that the mueller investigation proceeds to its conclusion unimpeded. as acting attorney general matthew whittaker will be subject to the recusal guidelines that gave jeff sessions no choice but to recuse himself from supervising the investigation of the trump campaign and of the president. if matthew whittaker follows the recusal guidelines and chooses to recuse himself, then nothing would have changed in the mueller investigation. matthew whittaker is 49 years old. he will have a long professional career after the trump presidency is over. he has to ask himself tonight, how much is he willing to risk that career by obstructing justice for donald trump? is he willing to risk getting disbarred as a lawyer? is he willing to risk becoming the third attorney general of the united states convicted of a crime, the previous two were both nixon attorneys general whose lives were ruined by their work as attorneys general for a criminal president of the united states. if matthew whittaker obstructs justice for donald trump he will not get away with it, and donald trump will not get away with it because the democrats won the house of representatives. joining us now are matt miller where an msnbc contributor, and ari melber and host of the beat, weeknights 6:00 p.m. on msnbc. ari, i want to start with the legitimacy of this transition here. the new acting attorney general being appointed under the federal vacancies reform act, which only applies if an attorney general, for example, resigns or dies in office or something like that. if complication here is that jeff sessions was fired. he wrote a letter today saying that he was resigning at the request of the president. so as you read that letter, ari, is that a resignation letter that complies with the necessities of the federal vacancies act or was he fired? is it not legal to put in this acting attorney general this way? it s a great question, lawrence. in short he was very clearly fired in every sense of the word. legally the letter at least gives the administration a framework and cover to assert that the attorney general himself states that he resigned, and thus they will say that s what occurred. matthew miller, this acting attorney general wrote a piece where he said it would cross a line, it would be improper for the special prosecutor to investigate the family businesses of donald trump. that is, of course, not true because the authorization of this special prosecutor very specifically says it s to investigate possible foreign interference in the trump campaign, the presidential campaign. but also it adds rod rosenstein wrote this authorization any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation. that authorization reads as a full authorization for anything, anything that robert mueller finds after originally gone in with the original mandate to investigate the election. yeah, you re absolutely right, lawrence. and that s just one of the troubling comments that matthew whittaker has made about the mueller investigation. i think the most notable comment in my opinion he s made is actually saying publicly that the trump tower meeting, which is at the heart of the investigation, is a meeting anyone would have taken. i don t know how he can fairly oversee this investigation and give anyone confidence about the integrity of the investigation when he has publicly prejudged the legality of something we know mueller is investigating. i think the real question going forward is whether he s going to follow department of justice rules, whether he s going to follow the advice of the career ethics officials and recuse himself? i think the totality of the comments raise a question in the public s mind and also he was a chair to campaign to sam clovis who was a witness before the grand jury who s been interviewed in this case. sam clovis said he s a good friend of matthew whittaker s. and he oversaw papadopoulos at the trump campaign. if he refuses to follow that recommendation to recuse himself, i think it s a sign the fix was in from the beginning. trump has told people apparently he won t recuse himself. i think that will be a sign trump sent him in there to shutdown this investigation in one way or another. presumably whittaker has told the president under no circumstances will he recuse himself because the president has said he would never put anyone in that job that s going to recuse himself. but that leaves whittaker another choice. before he presumably will refuse to recuse himself even if advised to do so by the professionals, he then has the choice of do i interfere with the mueller investigation or to what extent do i interfere with the mueller investigation? and that s where he starts to enter criminal possible liability of obstruction of justice especially after refusing any counsel of recusal. there were some who ended up serving jail time because they used and abused their power of a doj to protect a president. rick ross has talked about walking in a courtroom sipping on a beverage, i know a judge that got a lot of leverage, that s a gangster attitude that says you re above the law because you have people that will corrupt the law. and so it is very real tonight that we have public evidence that donald trump and mr. whittaker share one priority, which is overseeing the justice department to kneecap the mueller probe and not recuse. donald trump s one public stated beef with sessions was that he recused under the guidance that you just cited that he s supposed to under those doj rules. and mr. whittaker has said on television he thinks there are ways to kneecap the mueller probe like defunding it or putting pressure on it. so that s all out in the open, and the question very much on the minds of the incoming democratic majority, and you put their finger on the oversight, is if you have a gangster mentality in the white house trying to subvert the doj. we saw the gangster mentality of literally the nixon gang in the justice department and the nixon s attorney general. and matt whittaker has to be thinking of the nixon attorney general precedents, and after he takes that oath of office in this job and after he is surrounded by the justice department professionals who are advising him on a daily basis and watching him and he knows they re watching him, and he knows they will be available and ready to testify against him under oath in any kind of obstruction of justice case, he has to be he has to be very nervous in this job tonight. this is not an easy place for him to do what donald trump wants him to do and then survive with his life as he knows it. you know, you re absolutely right. there are strong institutional pressures at the justice department. there s a strong culture thereof following the rules, a culture of independents that will argue for him to behave responsibly in this job. but you have the fact that donald trump put him in this job with a very clear expectation he will not recuse himself. there are a dozen of people that trump could have picked the acting attorney general. that s just about what any other person does in these jams. he reached down to find this one person who has a demonstrated public hostility to the mueller probe. i suspect he has some insurance, implicit maybe explicit that he will not recuse himself. and the president at least thinks that on some of the close calls, maybe on close calls whether to approve a subpoena to the president, the close call whether to authorize the release of a report to congress, he thinks matthew whittaker will side with him, the president and not robert mueller, and that s why he got this job. richard nixon believed robert bork was going to block, and that is not what robert borke did. we will see if matthew whittaker is a robert borke. and if he is, that s a good thing for america, actually. thank you both for joining us in discussion tonight. really appreciate it. and when we come back one of the big winners last night because he will now move into the majority of the house of representatives is congressman eric swalwell. he will join us. hi susan!hs) honey? i respect that. but that cough looks pretty bad. try this new robitussin honey. the real honey you love.

in your wallet? millions of dead trees, extreme winds, and leading scientists say there will be even more dangerous fires in the years ahead. our weather is becoming more extreme, and we all need to

swalwell, a member of the house intelligence committee tweeted it s time the protect mueller, there s already bipartisan support in the senate. house should pass legislation immediately. trump may act like he above the facts but he s not above the law. congressman, congratulations on your re-election last night which was never in doubt, but i want to begin with congratulations about the new feeling you re having tonight, which is in being in the majority of the house of representatives. how does that change things? greatly it changes things, lawrence. i m also thrilled that 25 kanld dts and counting are in their 40s and under, so their future will have bright energetic new candidates coming to congress ready to stand and defend our democracy. if we d lost the house of representatives last night i d be much more worried. but i m honored to join a caucus that s going to defend our democracy now and let s see what the president intends to do with it. if you lost the house of representatives last night i m not sure you would have bothered to tweet today about protecting robe robert mueller. that s would have been impossible. that s right notch we re able to insist robert mueller is protected, and insist that this new acting attorney general recuse himself because of his conflicts of interest. and devon nunez, the chairman of the house intelligence committee was re-elected last night in california, but he s now been re-elected into utter powerless. adam schiff, the democratic presumably will become the chair of the intelligence committee. how does that change what the house intelligence committee will now do? well, the days of free passes, looking the other way in this ollie ollie oxen free environment that the president has enjoyed is over. but i think adam schiff under his leadership, we will fill in the gaps of the investigation not to look backward but make sure we protect upcoming elections. but also we will conduct all of the investigations that the republicans were unwilling to conduct. we don t want to lead with investigations, lawrence. i think on infrastructure, the dream act, background checks, reforming our democracy, prescription drugs, i think there s opportunity to put bills on the president s desks but we re not going to look the other way. i think that s happened for far too long and we re going to defend this democracy. people have been trying to see donald trump s tax returns since he became a presidential candidate. there s never been a chance do that. now there is. the house and ways and means committee has the power to request that. they got richard nixon s returns when they suspected richard nixon of being involved in some tax issues, and they found $500,000 worth of underpayment by richard nixon on his tax returns. they not only have the power to do that but to reveal those tax returns to the full house. those tax returns could be if revealed to the full house by the ways and means committee of interest to the intelligence committee, couldn t they? that s right. we shouldn t do it for any voyeuristic interest but the american people have the right to know if the president is a cheat. if you look at that the new york times investigative report, that exhaustive report, it suggests he s a cheat and that his financial interests are in conflict with our domestic and foreign policy interests. and we see that play out in saudi arabia, in turkey, see that playing out with easing sanctions in china on zte so he can get a $5 million loan the same week on a chinese property. so we certainly want to know if the president is corrupt and if that affects a decision the white house makes. the congress was actually given this power to obtain individual tax returns specifically for this reason, the possibility of corruption by the president or members of his administration. so that was a very specific use aec anticipated in giving congress this power in the first place. that s right. and in the last 40 plus years only two pre-s didn t comply with that richard nixon and donald trump. boy, the others were forthcoming and that should tell us everything we need to know. congressman eric swalwell, congratulations. and when we come back jill wine-banks will join us with her unique experience as having been in the office of a special prosecutor with what this new acting attorney general can mean to special prosecutor robert mueller. that s coming up. - [narrator] meet the ninja foodi, the pressure cooker that crisps. it s the best of pressure cooking and air frying all in one so in as little as 30 minutes it will be crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and on your table. the ninja foodi, the pressure cooker that crisps. (burke) so we know how to cover almost anything. even a huge drag. nothing worth losing sleep over, because we covered it. talk to farmers. we know a thing or two because we ve seen a thing or two. we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum five-year cancer survivor. being diagnosed with cancer made me rethink everything in my life. the things that became important to me were the relationships with people. we pulled together closer as a family. i had so many people at ctca helping me find a way to go through the treatments, to prepare me for anything i would ve faced. cancer showed me what true living is all about. so i started helping at a school for special needs children. i think they do more for me than i do for them. the reality of cancer is not everybody survives. surviving for five years is a big deal. at ctca, they have a huge celebrate life event. that was amazing because the whole day was about all of the survivors. i m not exactly sure what s ahead of me, but i m excited about my future. visit cancercenter.com to schedule an appointment now. we were talking about the model t. now here we are talking about winning the most jd power iqs and appeal awards. talking about driver-assist technology talking about cars that talk and listen. talking about the highest customer loyalty in the country. but that s enough talking. seriously. that was a lot of talking. back to building the firing of jeff sessions today has been compared to the saturday night massacre in which president richard nixon fired his special prosecutor after his attorney general, eliot richardson, refused to carry out that order. attorney general eliot richardson resigned instead of carrying out the order from president nixon. the deputy attorney general then resigned, refusing to carry out president nixon s order. and then solicitor general robert bork carried out the order by nixon to fire archibald cox, but then under public pressure, when a new special prosecutor was appointed, robert bork issued a new justice department rule, protecting the special prosecutor. that rule said the attorney general will not countermand or interfere with the special prosecutor s decisions or actions. the special prosecutor will determine whether and to what extent he will inform or consult with the attorney general about the conduct of his duties and responsibilities. the special prosecutor will be provided with such funds and facilities to carry out his responsibilities, as he may reasonably require. the special prosecutor may, from time to time, make public statements or reports as he deems appropriate and shall, upon completion of his assignment, submit a final report to the appropriate people or entities or congress. and so, the question tonight, is the new acting attorney general as honorable as richard nixon s acting attorney general, robert bork? here is the man who richard nixon installed as his acting attorney general, robert bork, after he fired the special prosecutor who was investigating richard nixon and his administration. i can only say that i m not going to walk out of this job, out of this town as the man who in any way compromised investigations or prosecutions. that was robert bork, who guaranteed the new special prosecutor, then leon jaworski, full independence after richard nixon ordered the firing of the first special prosecutor, archibald cox. our next guest lived through all of us. joining us now, jill wine-banks. i can only imagine what it was like for you during the saturday night massacre, seeing your boss, special prosecutor, fired. but then robert bork, very much to the country s surprise, protected, deliberately did everything he could to and issued a rule that protected your investigation. i think i know how it will mueller team feels tonight. there has to be huge anxiety. we have an acting attorney general now, who has called the investigation a hoax and a witch hunt and therefore has exhibited what i would consider to be a conflict of interest in terms of overseeing it. so they must be very anxious about what will happen and i m hoping that they re taking precautions to make sure that they protect themselves, at least until the new democratic house can take action to formally and officially protect them through legislation. jill, on the night that it happened, robert bork was the matthew whitaker of his day. he was condemned by liberals and democrats all over the country for carrying out the firing of the special prosecutor. but what most of those people who condemned robert bork did not really pay attention to after the fact is that robert bork did not, apparently, interfere with your investigation. he did not. and he actually there was debate that night and the next morning as to whether we had been fired or just archie cox had been fired, just the special prosecutor. it turned out that we had been abolished, but bork did reappoint the entire office. so he did take the steps, but that was because of a huge public outcry. mail in the old days, no e-mail, but actual snail mail was delivered in huge quantities to our office, to the congress, and to the white house. and the reaction was three days after the firing, nixon had to make a u-turn. he said, i will give you the tapes. i will appoint a new special prosecutor, but much like what happened with us, we didn t trust the new special prosecutor. why was he appointing someone new? why didn t he just bring back archibald cox? so why do we need a new attorney general? and what will this mean in terms of what he can do to stymie the investigation? he has already expressed a distrust of the investigation, so he can start putting real holds on what they are able to do, who they can indict, who they can investigate, who they can go forward with. so it can be a real showstopper without firing mueller. that s why there is a big protest planned for tomorrow by indivisible, and i believe, moveon is also doing this, at 5:00 tomorrow in chicago, anyway. so i don t know if it s nationwide at 5:00. there will be a protest about the act of firing sessions. and although he technically said he resigned, he resigned with the request of the president. so that s firing. and the history of the nixon era shows that matthew whitaker has plenty to fear about being investigated himself for obstruction, as acting attorney general, if he does, in any way, conspire with donald trump to do that. jill wine-banks, thank you very much for joining us tonight. i m sure we re going to have a lot to say about this as we continue covering it. tonight s last word is next. hey, what are you guys doing here? we ve been helping you prepare and invest for retirement since day one. why would we leave now? because i m retired now. so? we re voya. we stay with you to and through retirement. with solutions to help provide income throughout. so you ll still be here to help me make smart choices? well, with your finances that is. we had nothing to do with that, uh, tie. or the suit. or the shirt. voya. helping you to and through retirement. and i m still going for my best even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there s a better treatment than warfarin, i m up for that. eliquis. eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. so what s next? seeing these guys. don t stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don t take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis, the number one cardiologist-prescribed blood thinner. ask your doctor if eliquis is what s next for you. cardiologist-prescribed blood thinner. when the guy inown front slams on his brakes out of nowhere. you do, too, but not in time. hey, no big deal. you ve got a good record and liberty mutual won t hold a grudge by raising your rates over one mistake. you hear that, karen? liberty mutual doesn t hold grudges. how mature of them! for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won t raise their rates because of their first accident. liberty mutual insurance. liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. time for tonight s last word. we have affirmed that while this could go down as the darkest time in our history, we won t let it be. and instead, we will be defined by our hopes, not our fears. ayanna pressley gets tonight s last word. she is the first african-american member of the house of representatives elected in massachusetts. the 11th hour with brian williams starts now. tonight, jeff sessions is out of a job, fired. the morning after voters put democrats back in charge of the house, his replacement, the acting attorney general, has already said the mueller investigation needs to be reigned in. then the president showed up at a combative news conference. the president ignoring the morning-after reality, calling the midterms almost a complete victory. then he depose after his fellow republicans who didn t support him and tonight he s punished a network correspondent. and about those potential house investigations. democratic leaders say they know what they re doing and they ll do it right. the 11th hour begins now. well, good evening once again from our nbc news
