The president is making his way to social media talking about what he noticed yesterday. The other big headline, the indictment of other russian optatives. Ill tell you what the president had to say and about the Obama Administration. Very interesting indeed. The stories you heard took place during the Obama Administration and not the trump administration. Why didnt they do anything ability it. The president was informed in september before the election. The allegation in this indictment that no american citizens committed a crime. No allegations that the conspiracy changed the veto count or effected any result. Reporter thats rod rosinstein their saying no americans were involved. By the way, one other note. The first lady who gets over shadowed because of the breathe of the coverage about the president. She stopped at a local hospital and played lawn bowling with some of the children. Shes always with grace and dib dignity making sure she represents the president of the United States. Its very interesting. There are democrats that say he shouldnt take the meeting now. No chance that would happen. Back to you my friend. Thank you very much. That meting is scheduled for monday. What would you do if you were armed with this information . Should you get in the leaders face . How does it progress . What happens . We have a former seen i dont s. Thank you for coming in on a saturday. Thank you so much, neil. What would you do . A number russian optatives. I wouldnt try to pronounce their names. We have more proof they were very much involved in the 2016 election. That i have not changed the outcome but we should raise this with pug putin. The president said he would raise it. I think he should and will. I was reading three days in moscow about the relationship between reagan. He knew the relationships matter and they should continue particular li with thly with tho Largest Nuclear optatives. I was also thinking back in 1986 the United States was providing Freedom Fighters with missiles that were. Professor blough ing were s out of the sky. He sined the tweetty and moved the relationship forward. Thats what president sees and knows he has to do. So,when you said the president shouldnt bother meeting with the russians he missed a golden opportunity to address a broader issue. Uallwell, its not only that opportunity. Its the situation in certify yo that has to come with some type of resolution with the russians involved to north korea and ensuring that i have a good dialog and ensuring we keep our foot on the north korean economies nec witeconomies nh sanctions. There are many things they have to go over. The relationship between the heads of state matter. We have seen that throughout history. President trump knows we need to move this forward but hes also armed with details and facts to say, listen, you wont mess with our democracy. We know what you did. We know what your optatives are doing. In the past, he accepted putin at his word. Putin said no,i dont know what you are talking about. Now with more intelligence and data he cant do that, now. I dont think he can do that now. Well, thats right. At the end of the day there is so much we can do. We can Start Talking about retribution. I dont know what they are talking about. Well, you know, i think again, we have to keep the broader relationship in prospective. In the future we can look at the policy for retribution and defense and communicate that. This just dropped friday and they have a lot to go over on monday. The president has been criticized for his approach to thanato. I was on the ground in afghanistan as nato souths came over. They were unequip and unmanned. That i made promise afte promisr the contributions and they didnt live up to them. It was fine and acceptable. They realized they were shoulder to shoulder with us. We will sea ho see how that. Ive been in meeting after meeting. Hes making our alleys stepup to the plate. All right, thank you very much. All right, thank you. I wouldnt be if i were you. Micheal thank you. Whether it east mueller, the media. The idea we are obsessed with this. Its an interesting reed. They met with real money. They dont seem to be phrased bithis. Lets get the read from suzanne and dan. Dan, well begin with you. Thats stunning. People put really money on theline they dont seem to think this is going to shake the line. It wont shake the country. Well, that i are looking at it and is aing these types of things. It happens all of the time. Look at the substance going on here. The substance is lower taxes. Lets go past that and is a tariffs,thats serious. Thats a tax and will trigger inflation. Then what will happen. You know what i say. That i will rise the Interest Rate to combat inflation and let more money flow into the market. That i looked at this and acid we have a good time. We have a winwin here. One thing i found interesting when we got the announcement yesterday. I looked at the doubt before and after that. That as right. What do we make of that. Jammjam jamie diamond sail of this effect effects mentallyt economically. I spoke to a lot of traders yesterday about the announcement and the hysteria taking place. That i said we dont care. What wecare is that the president is pro business. Meaning cutting red tape and taxes. For us, heading into earning season. Thats a buying signal. Do you buy that argument . Not anymore. That all explains why the u. S. Market is not tanking. Why are russian stocks tanks. How come bitcoin isnt tanking. This is something you can legally buy in an app. Its at 6,000. Its not above the 10,000 level. This weekwe liened the russians used it. You cant argue where bitcoin is at whatever given moment. The g 7 countries might ban it because that i could use it to takeover elections. The who he will country is wrapped up. Russians are going downright now. Emergesare only a few. At the end of the day. The russian market is 3. 5 . Its not just the 80s. Dan, one of the arguments, certainly other markets like china and elsewhere they have been feeling the heat and we have russia a lot more on otherrish yews thaotherlike we. That east a big issue. The Mueller Investigation is not. Its not. Let me tell you where i think this will go. Well have continued escalation. I believe china is very strategic. That i will look to weaken the president in the midterm election. If they are suck accessfu ari believe he will have to negotiate. If he comes out strong the escalation will continue. That i get 200 million in tariffs. We know it will heat up before it calms down. I spent a decade in asian. The reaction from china is telling. Its radio silence. Can i talk about your scottish accent. You are not invited back. Speaking of which, the timing of all of it is weird. The former attorney general weights in. My family and i did a fundraiser walk in honor of my dad, who was alzheimers. I decided to make shirts for the walk with custom ink, and they just came out perfect. [announcer] check out our huge selection of Custom Apparel for every occasion. Youll even get free shipping. Get started today at customink. Com. Why are they now releasing this information about the russians indicted for meddling. Why know, days ahead of the president meeting with putin for the summit. Former attorney general micheal is asking that same question. It is weird. Its hard to know what they make of it. Some people believe his pa raide should be rained on. Do you think it would be more difficult because of it . If they wanted to bring a serious case they would have filed a sealed indictment and attached one of these people and had them arrested. This is aloud noise. It has nothing to do with the reason mr. Mueller was put there in the first place. This could have been brought my the National Security division. Mueller was put there to investigate any links between the russian government and the campaign of donald trump. They questioned real estate deals. So these things have a habit of going outside their per view. Are you worried this has gone out. Im not sure where its going because im not working on it. You said it looks like it did. It had nothing to do with the mandate . Then why did it come out yesterday. Thats mr. Muellers business. There are some kids thatlike to make aloud noise. Thats not to say they are justified. If you were the president and sitdown with putin. You have accepted his word that he had nothing to do with any meddling in our election what do you do now . Im not the president. What would you do . I think what i would do is think about how come they did it the way they did it. In a clemency obviously discovered way. They left belef be behind gry fingerprints. Everybody believed Hillary Clinton would be elected president. This was designed, i believe, to damage the incoming president and perhaps send a warning. This is what we can do with emails. You recall her sever was extra ordinary vulnerable. They dont know if it was hacked. All right, my which h micheak you very much. Well get kens read on this the former prosecutorring attorney. The protests continues as the president travels abroad. Sometimes they get silly and sometimes worry some. After this. When my hot water heater failed, she was pregnant, inlaws were coming, a little bit of water, it really it rocked our world. I had no idea the amount of damage that water could do. We called usaa.

Whatever your views on the president do they have to ease up on this stuff. This is the same country agreed they would open arms to a romanian dictator that butchered their people. Each were greeted with open arms. Nothing approaching this. Michelle richie is here. What do you make of this . If you and your goal is to make fun of President Trump for no reason because you dont like him. First of all its a pathetic goal. A baby ba balloon, go and have. Like it or not a baby blimp is not an argument for or against anything. Making a baby blimp is a waist of time. They are taking it on the road. It east going to travel the worldment. If you want to agree with the fact you have a blimp of the president , absolutely not. Am i surprised . Absolutely not. He has insulted the u. K. With comments such as blaming the first muslim mayor for the 2017 attack. He approved the blimp. Are you surprised. If you tell someone that i are crude and acts like a child. Do you make your point if you do Something Like this. So,this is what they want to do. This is what the may i dont remember is allowing to happen. The United States will be upset there is a blimp flying around. We had White Nationalist marching in charlottesville as well. Veterans fault in world war ii. All right, we can go back to the name. I just find this sends the debathe southward fast. I applied that to the president. Having said all of that i worry when i see paragliders get close to the president. Thats an incident that threatens his safety and others. Yes, absolutely. It east fine to protest. Dont put someone else in danger. I like your point how dictators didnt get this reception. They dont know how to behave. I had a british viewer. When they came to london they didnt know he was a butcher. Oh, wow. Its a different behave i dont remember. It absolutely is. People like to do ridiculous things when it comes to President Trump. If you want a discussion, have a discussion. A baby blimp flying around and dangerous paraglidgliders flying around. Its comical. It is, its funny. Would you think if it was funny if the right wing people did it with obama. No. I wound find it equally offensive. We knead to stop living in the world of what if obama. You are a classy endial and. When i say comical its funny but makes the people the blimp has very little hands. Little hands, big head. All right, thank you very much. We will see where this goes. A lot of democrats will fighting. How all of these other developments effect what does get through. A guy on the short list will weighin on this one after this. Find the remote yet . Nah. Honey look, your old portable cd player. My high school rethainer. Oh dont. Its early 90s sitcom star dave coulier. Cut. It. Out [laughing] what year is it . As long as stuff gets lost in the couch, you can count on geico saving folks money. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. Many say the meeting with putin shouldnt go on. The president said it will go on. Thats very much happening. The Senate Committee was on the president s short list to be the next Supreme Court justice. Senator, what do you make of some of your colleagues that sy cancel the meeting . They are not the president of the United States. Its not their chose to decide whether or not to meet with the president. It east been carefully set up and planned out. I dont see any good reason to cancel it. The president had to raise this issue. Im not sure what they are talking about. We were not involved. He accepted that at face value. What happens now . It east difficult for them to denydeny it. What changed is they utized new tectechnology. They cant continue to denye it or his knowledge of it. He has to start admitting it. Should the president push for these 12 figures to come to the United States. Thats the president s call. I wouldnt make that for him. Im sure he will make the right decision. Senator, micheal questioned the timing of all of this. Do you . It throws a ripple into things. For these to occur right now i have noway of questioning who had what thyming in minded. It certainly does makethings strained. Senator the president calls the bob Mueller Investigation a witch hunt. No, i dont. I call it an investigation. I call it an investigation i would like to see wrapup. This guy had ayear. I wouldlike to see him wrapup his work. Complete the report and move on. Do you thy some of youre cololeagues that are not impressed with the base and tone. That it should be reigned in. Some advocate more in the house that it should be shutdown now. How do you feel about all of that. That will have political ramification that wouldnt be pleasant for anyone involved. Thats why that i said this is an investigation that has gone on for sometime. This guy kneads to wrapup hiswork. Lets talk about the Supreme Court pick kavanaugh. Do you think, this ongoing process, they want to wrapup for october 1 so he can be with Supreme Court justices. Do you think this whole committee complicates this in anyway. No,it doesnt come kate it at all. I see these traveling on two completely parallel tracts. One shouldnt effect the other. Some of my cololeagues might not want a republican come knee conif i remembered right now. Not someone as respected at kavanaugh. That i would like the attention to be on anything but that. I dont think this should slow that down. This will improve his chances of getting approved. Does his nominating process mean that thats what the president wouldlike to work on the Mueller Investigation. Well, i gwen rally think it east best for the president to comment too much on it one way or another. Thats myon my own personal vie. He will keep his own council on that. I dont see a reason why they will change that one way or another. Its a close and tight senate. You know the edge if you include the possibility that jon mccain battling brain cancer wont vote. You need every republican onboard. Is it your sense every republican will be onboard. I cant speak for nicole league. I understand. I nonthi none the less beliee williams eel end up with every republican supporting the nomination. Hillary clinton spoke out on the nomination. I would like you to react to this, sir. This nomination holds out the threat of devastating consequences for workers rights, civil rights, lgbt rights,womens rights including those to make our own health decisions. I used to worry that i wanted to turn the clock back to the 1950s. Flow the 1850s. What did you make of that . Its absurd rhetoric. Hillary clinton should be ashamed of the comments. This is an echo of the infamous speech given by ted kennedy. Its not helpful. Its not accurate. Its not real. I will suggest they believe republicans actually dislike people. Actually dislike the rule of law and constitution. It east not fehr an fair. I call upon them to seize and decease. All right, well,i would probably wouldnt hold my breathe on that. I want to hear my thoughts on Hillary Clinton. Shes entertaining another run for the white house. I welcome that. She was a disastrous candidate. If she wants to run ay again brg it on. You were on the list as well. You were still on the master list. I now you spoke on the phone with the president about this. Im not how much you can share. Share something . I had a nice conversation with him on the phony. Phone. I spoke with him about thr the last year and half or so. Did he tell him you were under broader consideration . Sure. I was under consideration. We acknowledged that fact. I was honored to be under consideration as well as my brother. I started attending Supreme Court arguments to watch them for fun. Of course i was honored to be considered. Did he tell you you would make another list . No,hes not talking about future lists at thispoint. Ourself job is to get judge kavanaugh confirmed. All right, due process,if your brother would have gotten it over you how would you have felt. I would have been thrilled. I told him i couldnt think of a better person that would have been better suited than my brother the justice that severed on the sea Supreme Court. I wonder how the battle ghost and yougoes. Judge kavanaugh wila longer confirmation process because he had a long track record. The other side is going to rip that record apart and drag this out, what do you think . Im sure that i will do their best to try to bring them down. I dont thy the dont think thed anything to disqualify him. They might find one or two outcomes to disagree. But, look, they complain all they want. This judge will be confirmed and will be Justice Kavanaugh in months. Thank you for taking the time. Thank you. All right, the back and forth on all of this and how americans feel about this. You hear them talk about the investigation and Supreme Court picks. Man, oh man, it does us all good. Well have more after this. We know you cant make the perfect smore until youve burnt a few marshmallows. We know the great outdoors. We love the great outdoors. Make this summer last during family summer camp at Bass Pro Shops and cabelas. Plus get great deals on great gear. Like select mens short sleeve shirts for under 15.

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 . Its about government taking on the decision of a woman instead of giving the woman the power to make the decision herself. Given the choice tween betwen corporations. If you care about guns and violence protection judge kavanaugh is youre worse nightmare. Because hes so extreme on thish yew of president ial power. Hes over reached more then any president in history the third one resonates too. Ill put them down as poses maybes. A lot of these guys were talking about this before we nu he was w he was the chart. Who knows that better than lee carter. Happy to have you. Great to be here. This will be a battle royal. It sure is. More then six in ten americans would like this to go smoothly. Everybody wouldlike this put to bed. The fact there is so much rhetoric more will go forward. Now democrats are more aware then they have been. Republicans knew it going into the last election. In 2016 this was the top reason they supported the president. He was likely to put conservative judges out there. Only 40 of democrats did. Well see a big shift here. The democrats using this kind of rhetoric while its really aggravating to people on the right who say this is not what i want. Not somebody who is pro business or will over tur overturn roe v. As you indicated in the past few elections they discussed among that they werent keen on donald trump this ability was one of the deciding factors. Its one of the factors that they would say they will support the president. Its Supreme Court. This is a really important part of theyre decision. This could mien that i are pro live or they would like the intent of the constitution. Im always curious. The public wins can changeover that time. The Supreme Court pick is more lasting. Democratsargue do you want to tip it all the way. It east a moot point. Whoever is in power makes the decision. They cant is a oh, we made a wrong decision. We cant put a conservative judge in their but liberal judge. They hope this will energize the base. What we are seeing is vetoer enthusiasm is momentum. That i have the ability to vote for womens rights and gay marriage. For the things they believe passionately about. Its not a vote on resist. That energizes people. Very good. Lee carter, thank you very much. Have you noticed the battle for media companies. T its not because of me. Well explain. Its a burrito filled with plants pretending to be meat. Here we see the artist making an attempt to bare his soul. Its just a gray dot. There are multiples on the table one is cash, three are fha, one is va. So what can you do . Shes saying a whole lotta people want to buy this house. But you got this Rocket Mortgage by quicken loans makes the complex simple. Understand the details and get approved in as few as 8 minutes by americas largest mortgage lender. You know, this is hardly worth the foxx alert. I have to tell you when netflix was like net who. Now they have more emmy nominations then hbo. Thats a big deal. This is all about that content. Oh, yes. It only took them five years. This is traditional medias concern. Only if you can get the government approval. The department of justice, i mean shocked the corporate world on thursday when they annoyanced they would aye pee appeal the time warrener merger. This is something that rarely happens. The deal is already closed and time warner has been delisted from the stock market. Not so fast according to the trump administration. A t and t said this is a closed deal. The chances of them winning the appeal is low. This is more of the doj sending a strong signal and massage to the media world before buying in in an effort to get bigger. That wont effect the Disney Merger that has already been approved. This is a warning to the tech giants like amazon and apple that any deals may face challenges from the government. They dont want a few people to raise prices. Comcast is still going after sky. That i raised its business to 35 billion. Ye, comcast tried to buy 21st century fox. Wow, you have a lot in their. Yeah. We are following whats going on in the investigation on the president and whether it whole thing with mueller changed the debate. A guy knows something about that ken star. They also know something about Brett Kavanaugh. Hes here. D. Fisher investments. Clearly better money management. All right. You are looking live at the very resort there, the golf course in scotland that the president is visiting. I dont know which cart is the president s. Hes golfing today. People are criticizing that he was golfing. He indicated, its my primary form of exercise, and you know, you have a relaxing day on the links with about 100 or so secret Service Agents and thats a way to celebrate. I know a lot of you are worried about that im going to veer into my scottish accent, not yet. But i will later. The president there ahead of the pig pow wow with Vladimir Putin on monday and a lot of democrats are saying after the mueller indictments of the russian intelligence, that the yesterday would poohpooh that. Its causing consternation all over the globe. Jennifer griffin with what to inspect. The meeting is still on despite the announcement by the Justice Department yesterday, indicting 12 Russian Military Intelligence Officers for hacking into Hillary Clintons Campaign Emails and those of the dnc. The white house says the indictment says no americans knew they were corresponding with russians, even though the hacking began on the same day that President Trump spoke on july 27th, 2016, in doral, florida asking the russians to find 36,000 missing clinton emails. Here is how deputy general rosenstein explained how the Russian Military officers operatedment he said that the conspirators created fictitious online persona, including d. C. Leaks and guccifer 2. 0. That guccifer 2. 0 was a lone romanian hacker. In fact, both were created and controlled by the russian gru or military intelligence. One russian Intelligence Officer is accused of hacking u. S. State election boards and stealing information for half a million american voters. That, according to the indictment. The states that were targeted included florida, georgia, and iowa. Director of national intelligence, dan coates issued the following warning about escalating Cyber Attacks on u. S. Infrastructure ahead of the midterm elections. The warning lights are blinking red today. Today, the Digital Infrastructure that serves this country is litter will i literally under attack. Every day theyre penetrating, and conducting a range of cyber intrusions and attacks against targets in the United States. Defense secretary jim mattis warns en route to norway, about russian interference in european democracy, but pushed back on an nbc report that the pentagon was engaged in damage control after reports of the n. A. T. O. Meeting. I also just heard that the pentagon is in damage control. That was fascinating. I love reading fiction. Intelligence Committee Members are warning President Trump not to meet with putin alone, but the meeting is going ahead as planned, neil. Neil all right, thank you very much, jennifer griffin. In the meantime, you know, the president always has a lot of controversy on every trip, and the former assistant secretary of state. Robert, good to have you on. The protests notwithstanding, a lot of substance is getting done . Yeah, i think it goes to the heart that trump conducts diplomacy. Margaret thatcher was said to be an iron fist in a velvet glove and Winston Churchill thought of diplomacy of telling people to go to hell and doing it in a way that wanted to cause you to ask for direction. A foreign diplomate said its all about saying good dog, good dog, while picking up a rock. I dont think that trump sub describes to any of that. I think that n. A. T. O. And coming is that you spoke truth boldly, both in private and in public and then in private, you look for some accommodation or for some acknowledgment of that truth and if you get it, then in public you become magnanimous. So, a bit of, i guess id say iron fist and put the glove on later. With putin, its going to be a little different. Hes probably got five or six issues he needs to put on the table front and center. The first summit with Ronald Reagan engaging with Mickhail Gorbachev after he became secretary was contentious privately. They made some sort of happy communique at the end, but it was a tough conversation and i think on syria, ukraine, getting involved in sewing chaos in western democracies, the cyber engagement, all of that is going to be on the table, i think along with north korea, and probably the idea, the most unconscionable thing thats been tied back to putin is this idea of assassinations on foreign soil. All of that needs to be up front and center. Neil i guess, robert, it depends on how you bring it front and center. In the past the president has given benefit of the doubt to comments that Vladimir Putin made that no way his country or he specifically was behind any interference in elections. We appear to have a lot more proof now that he was and his country was and Intelligence Officers was and thats why a lot of people say you have to be a lot more forceful, mr. President. What do you think he does . Yeah, so, i mean, lets look at those indictments and what it does to the putintrump summit. On the one hand, i think its clear and i think probably the president in his heart of hearts knows that russia is constantly, as is china, as is iran, as are others, trying to sew discontent in our democracy and these indictments point at the fact that we know the sources and methods of the russian organization, intelligence community, but you know, i have to say, this president s been in office 570 days and its a little bit odd that three days or four days before his first summit with the russian leader, these indictments pour out. To me, theyre much of a muchness. We could indict foreign Intelligence Officers for things they do, they dont pay much attention to american law, but at the same time i think what it means, trump is again, even as mueller tries to play secretary of state here, he has to be direct with putin. He has to say, listen, there will be consequences and there will be consequences. This is not obamas world anymore. There will be consequences for the things you do in syria. We will defend israel. We ask you to reopen discussions in ukraine, figure out a way to negotiate back to some sovereignty there and maybe some sort of an agreement on a court order to crimea. We want your support on north korea and by the way, we acknowledge that russia is an important historical player, but we expect you to behave like a civilized country not a rogue state. Neil when he says that russia is more competitor than an add ve add adversary than enemy, what do you say. They have a number of Nuclear Weapons and were a competitor economically, although russia doesnt ship anything we couldnt do without. We share a lot of common values. As Ronald Reagan aptally said, theres a lot that these two have a common. Neil we cant pick and choose who he meets. Thank you for coming in. You, too. Neil to roberts point, a lot of people think dont meet with Vladimir Putin at all. History indicates a that that would probably do more time than good. Who better to talk to than a historian after this. But having usaa now thats a privilege. So lets promote our Summer Travel deal on choicehotels. Com like this. Surfs up.

Tracfone. For moments that matter. All right. Minutes away from ken starr. Brett kavanaugh worked with ken starr on the investigation and not only does he have a keen sense of what mr. Kavanaugh brings to the table, but maybe some insights into this investigation with mueller. And investigations that might go away from the origin tent. Hes coming up. In the meantime, labor i larry sabato. Were looking at the developments, back and forth, should the president meet with president putin. Should he not . Generally its better for world leaders, if they hate each other, even if they dont, to meet. But what do you think . I agree with that. I dont think you can cancel a summit just a few days before because of the new indictments of those 12 russians connected to russian intelligence. This is a perfect opportunity for President Trump to get ahead of this story at last by confronting putin. You dont have to do it in a terribly nasty way, but you confront him, challenge him, not just to cooperate with whatever investigations we have or we know hes not going to extradite them, but you can ask for that, but tell him very clearly what the sanctions are going to be if the russians try to interfere in our 2018 midterms for 2020 president ial election. Neil you know, i never know what happens, though, larry if the other guy says i dont know where you got that information, i didnt do it. Its sometimes when i talk to my teenage sons about something, theyll deny until the cows come home, i had nothing to do with it and i know very well. And at least on two prior meetings, i dont know what the russian thing is about, i dont know, its nonsense and the president relays that. This time weve got more information. What do you do . Well, i think what you do is, you present the evidence you have. Remember, during the cuban missile crisis, ambassador stevens, he took the photos that we had from spy planes and proved that the cubans and russians were lying and they were lying through their teeth. They were install those missiles in cuba. You present the evidence, present it to putin and say, mr. Putin, not only am i giving you this, im going to present the evidence or endorse the evidence thats been presented to me once i leave our meeting. I mean, there are ways of doing it. Neil i agree with you. Youre exactly right, but that would be proving Vladimir Putin a liar and to the whole world, everyone that suspects, you know, that, yeah, he and his country were very much involved in our election, but if he were to admit to that or he would be exposing himself to be a liar. Yes, and i think thats probably an accurate description, but lets say he denies everything. You would still, or the president would still get across the point that we know what you did and if you do it again in 2018 and 2020, im going to levy real sanctionings. Youve got sanctions you want revealed and released and im going to levy more sanctions and then trump gets ahead testify and putin is on notice for 2018 and 2020 without admitting what hell never admit. Youre absolutely correct. He knew nothing about it. Those enough to remember hogans heroes and sergeant schultz, i know nothing, nothing, and thats going to be putins answer. Neil i expected more from you than a reference from hogans heroes. [laughter] the benchmark, whether its john f. Kennedy and nikita khrunichev, or with Mickhail Gorbachev, suspicious more based on doubt than hope and turns into something more favorable. Can you see that in this case . Well, it could as long as President Trump is tough with president putin. Let me give you a counterexample. You dont remember this, but you studied it. When president kennedy a few months after taking office had a vienna summit with president khrunichev, it was a disaster. Neil it was a disaster. Khrunichev went in thinking i can maneuver this guy and manipulate this guy. President kennedy thought im going to overwhelm him with facts and truth and be nice. You cant be nice in the circumstances, so you can end up causing more problems and clearly that led to the cuban missile crisis because khrunichev was convinced he could take advantage and outsmart this young president. Its better to confront putin and make sure that he understands that you cant be outmaneuvered, you cant be manipulated and that youre on notice. Neil wellput. I was born 30 years after that, as you probably know, but i heard about it. I know that. Well, i remember it in person and thats why you have me on the show is because im old. Neil were about the same age, professor. But thank you. Always great having you, my friend. Youre the best. Thank you, neil. Neil and i still cant get over it. And we have more coming up, including ken starr, the man who probably knows Brett Kavanaugh than a lot of those senators who will be grilling him because he worked with him very, very closely. Hes next. 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 . Neil all right. Here is a fun fact on Brett Kavanaugh that you do not know. It could be a good thing or a bad thing depending what you think of ken starr. He was working aside starr in that investigation. He joins us right now. Ken starr very good to have you. Thank you for coming in. Oh, my pleasure, neil, thank you. Neil when you worked with Brett Kavanaugh, what capacity . What was he doing . He was a young lawyer. I had recruited him to my law firm, neil, and we won, kirkland and elliss, my law firm at the time won the Brett Kavanaugh derby. He was one of the most sought after lawyers after clerking. And lightning struck, brett, come help me and terrific lawyer. Neil and with that association depends on your point of view, as in most things in life, but, neil, the key is, he was a great lawyer and i think everybody now knows that, so the battle, which well get into, is going to be over philosophy and ideology, he should win that battle, but here is an opening point. For him to be praised by one of the most liberal constitutional law professors in the United States, very thoughtful. Akhil amare of the jail law school who said in the oped, new york times. Neil i read that piece. Im glad you had him on, im sorry i missed it. And a wonderful professor at yale law school, these are liberal yale law professors, but theyre people of principle and they see that Brett Kavanaugh is truly an outstanding candidate who deserves confirmation overwhelmingly. Neil maybe you can help me get clear his views on president ial misconduct then because they seem to have evolved, veered or he has pivoted somewhat on the issue of certainly about bill clintons transgressions and how aggressively a prosecutor can go. Could you enlighten me . Well, i think what brett experienced, im sorry i call him by his first name, but what judge kavanaugh experienced during the whitewater investigation and especially the lewinsky phase, is the downside of these investigations. That is, theyre very disruptive to the presidency and therefore, to the orderly operations of the government. And what he did in his law review piece, as i read it, is to say, congress should take a look at this issue and congress should consider, should the president , in light of our history, irancontra with president reagan, and just go down the list of modern day presidencies, and most have been affected in some significant way by an investigation. So, what hes suggesting is Congress Take a look at this and consider whether to essentially have had a postponement or a timeout. Its a perfectly reasonable position, but hes speaking as a thoughtful observer and not as a judge. S going to go by the law as a judge and as a justice. Neil was he talking about prosecutorial zeal there. Some interpreted the president , even picking him in the first place, is that he would have a sympathetic vote on the Supreme Court in case this were ever pushed it a crisis. No, i think the country should have confidence that Brett Kavanaugh is going to set aside whatever his policy views are, and to say, what does the constitution call for. And the Supreme Court of the United States spoke unanimously in the Paula Corbin Jones case, brought by president clinton to the effect to the Supreme Court saying grant me immunity from civil litigation, and the Supreme Court unanimously said no, and that included two of president clintons own appointees. Thats the law of the land, that no one is above the law. Thats the way, im confident, judge kavanaugh, if he becomes a justice, would rule. That a subpoena is a subpoena. A subpoena to testify in whatever. Now, thats probably going to be litigated, but i think that he will follow the traditions of the law that i think is pretty clear that the president can, in fact, be subject to this kind of subpoena process. Thomas jefferson, john marshall, going back a century, Thomas Jefferson didnt like it that he got subpoenaed. That was just to produce documents, but he obeyed. Im sure Richard Nixon didnt enjoy the fact that he was getting a subpoena for the famous and now infamous white house tapes, but he obeyed and thats the rule of law in our country. Neil but it was the threat of subpoena from your office, not the implementation of one, that ultimately got bill clinton to talk to you, right . No, we actually subpoenaed him, but then we negotiated the withdrawal of the subpoena. Neil so. Which was fine, out of respect for the presidency. Neil thank you for clarifying. Ken, do you know whether he would argue that breath kavanaugh would argue that if a prosecutor wants to talk to the president of the United States, he can force the issue . Well, were in a different situation now, neil, as you know, because bob mueller is an officer of the Justice Department. In those days we were talking about an independent counsel, right, and the independent counsel had his or her own authority. So its going to be a different set of issues in terms of separation of powers because Robert Mueller is an officer of the Justice Department. He enjoyed certain independence, but he, nonetheless, reports to the Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein in this instance because of Jeff Sessions recusal. There are some instances im not going to predict how Justin Kavanaugh would come out on that. Neil nor should you. I was just trying to see if you were going to slip up. I frequently do. Neil no, i try, but you dont give. One thing i want a handle on, in this Ongoing Investigation, not to get in the weeds with this with you nor do i intend to. Do you know whether the judge shares reservations about prosecutorial zeal in general, that they can go far from their original mission, for example, as did yours. Its not your fault, but the investigation that ensued led into other areas, other avenues. There was the linda tripp thing that led to your discovery of the relationship with the intern. That these things by their natural course, go on add infini infinitem. Do you know what he thinks about . I know from his impressive body of work as a judge, neil, and i think that everybody is sitting back and saying this is an impressive record, is he believes in the principle of accountability. We see that in his work with the administrative agencies. He does believe that under your constitutional system, under our rule of law, every person needs to be accountable and so i would say, yes, that would include prosecutors as well. Where is the accountability here . I think he would ask that question and would then probe fairmindedly and open mindedly into the specifics. He doesnt say this is how i feel as a matter of philosophy. And elaine kagan, would recruit him to teach at harvard law school. And accountable is one of those principles. Every person who holds power should be accountable. Neil do you ever look back on the whole bill clinton experience, the investigation and et cetera, with any regrets . That what started as, you know, one focus in the investigation, veered of course . Because thats the route that the present investigation has. Right, right, well, the biggest reservation or concern that i have then and now is, i wanted to go to Pepperdine Law School and then this n new dimension which becomes the lewinsky phase comes to us and we go to attorney general janet reno. I wish she would have said im going to amary rowe or john doe to take on this investigation. But we were vindicated in court time after time after time. There were 14 criminal convictions, there wasnt just a failed land deal in arkansas where people lost money, there was a lot of fraud, violations of federal law. 14 criminal convictions including the sitting governor of the state of arkansas. Neil finally, do you think the kavanaugh upcoming process means that the president should go slow on anything they have to say about this Ongoing Investigation because at the very least it would damage mr. Kavanaugh . No, those judgments have to be made. Its a separate track. Bret kavanaugh has not been involved in any dimension of this. Here is Rudy Guiliani coming on stage and making a lot of statements and doing a very aggressive job. Brett is in the monastery as we were told as new judges. Thats what i was told as new judges, youve been through the monastery, he will steel himself, he, judge kavanaugh, from that. Well see what the senators raise. They have the freedom to raise anything that they want to and i think well probably end up having a lot of discussion about this, but what i think the american people, and hopefully, a heavy majority of the senators, will be assured of, here is great, able, honorable person who meets all of the traditional criteria of a Supreme Court justice and meets them with flying colors. But he also stands in this great tradition of great judges, great justices from holmes on who will take these cases one at a time and he will do a great job and an honorable job as a justice. Neil finally, you mentioneded monastery. His catholocism has raised hackles that he might be biased by affiliations to the church. Hes a devout catholic. Maybe its the old john kennedy thing again. I dont know what it is, but its a disproportionate amount of attention to his catholocism. What do you think about it . I think its a secularization of the american society. Happily the text of the constitution addresses it and rebuts issues to faith. It says specifically no religious test shall be imposed for any office under the United States. So to even ask about someones faith is, to me, an anti they have to they have the right to do it, but its an action against the constitution. Its a Pluralistic Society and lets respect the dignity of all persons in all favorites. Neil thank you for being here on a saturday. We appreciate it. My pleasure. Thank you, neil. Neil all right. And ken and i were chatting, a lot of emails, texts and et cetera and our panel is going to be talking about what we just talked about right after this. All right. Reaction to ken starr, his association with Brett Kavanaugh, the president s Supreme Court pick, and things that can veer out of control and those on the left and right say thats the natural order of thing whether we like it or not. Maybe its the process. Ive got lee carter, fox news contractor, kat. What do you think of what ken starr is saying. Yeah, my own investigation did veer affair of the clintons and ultimately as we know and two other matters, but thats the way the stuff goes. It is the way that this stuff goes. I think its okay to be upset about it. I think that this one has gotten a little more intense than other ones have in the past, but i also think its an important investigation. I think that its important, we have to remember that what it really is supposed to be about is finding out about how the russians attempted to interfere or did interfere in our elections and how to top it from happening in the future. The real important issue here is protecting the integrity of our election system and everyone in america should stand behind that goal. Neil the association with ken starr could be either pro or con for Brett Kavanaugh. Is this going to add to the issues that theyre going to get into in that confirmation process, right . Look, i think that the democrats are going to have an issue with Brett Kavanaugh regardless of anything because theyre in fear of roe v. Wade being turned over and i think what people have to keep in mind when were having a discussion about abortion, in order for the Supreme Court to overturn anything, they first have to have a case. Its not going to be kavanaugh going into his office and writing void on top of roe v. Wade. He actually, first of all, the Supreme Court, like i said, they have to have a case. Are they even going to take that case or send it back to the state and i think that what a lot of democrats fail to realize is if roe v. Wade is overturned, its going to be the state lawmakers that are determining the reproductive rights of women. Neil so, switch to the catholocism argument that ken starr raised i raised, i should say. He said our forefathers shouldnt make it an issue, didnt with john kennedy and it is what it is. I think that ken starr made a good point. Were in a country of religious freedom. We are supposed to accept all sorts of backgrounds, everyones. Thats what our country was founded on for crying out loud. To significant that its an issue that he was a catholic, its preposterous. If he was a muslim, the left would be outraged. Neil and one thing noted, a judge, a former professor, that she was considered so right to life that it actually hurt her . Look, i think you can make the case that someone can put their personal beliefs aside and say my job here is to look at the constitution. My job isnt necessarily to be guided by my faith. Now, there are some people who say that my faith is what guides my work and so you have to look at that. If you think its going to influence, you know, bleed over. But the job of the justice, the Supreme Court justice is to follow the letter of the constitution. And i think that kavanaugh has proven that he can do that and i think if you look back and you see some of the things that he some of the rulings that hes had. If you look at what he made a decision that actually allowed somebody to have an abortion. So you can see that he is clearly able to separate both his faith from what the letter of the law says and so, i think the fact that people are outraged or this hysteria that everything is going to go back to 1850 i think is what Hillary Clinton said, is i think its extremist. Now that said, that kind of rhetoric does energize people, it adds fuel to the debate. So i think that kind of stuff has to happen. I think that people needs to pay attention. If thats what it takes for people to get out there and say this is what i feel and this is important to me, im all for it. We dont have half of americans voting in the midterms. Lets have them engage in the issues, and not just the surface and say hes down to the day we had judges approved 90plus to whatever, those days are gone. If they guy gets through, its by the skin of his teeth. Everything is hyper partisan. Its not that theyre trying to Work Together to achieve the common good of the country. Both side are trying to further what they want to do and take down the other side. Its so political and it doesnt make room for a lot of americans, particularly a lot of young people, a lot of us are independents, and dont have particular allegiance to one party or the other and thats why the reason why people arent going out and voting because they dont see themselves represented. I think that thats frustrating and i can definitely agree with kat on that. Theres no middle ground. Youre left or right and nowhere in the middle. I think when were talking about kavanaugh, honestly, people have to educate themselves on the process and on the history of the Supreme Court. Neil ladies, thank you very, very much. I know we switched gear, but i thought there were a lot of interesting comments in the ken starr interview that warranted this. In the meantime, a father in the shooting making sure there are no victims. I didnt 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 blood vessel problems, sleepwalking or allergic and skin reactions which can be lifethreatening. Stop chantix and get help right away if you have any of these. Tell your Healthcare Provider if youve had depression or other Mental Health problems. Decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. The most common side effect is nausea. I cant tell you how good it feels to have smoking behind me. Talk to your doctor about chantix.

All right, i want to do something. We try to do something every week. A segment. Its been five months since the parkland shootings back in february and now the efforts to make sure it doesnt happen again. Efforts going on in florida. So my interview now with parkland shooting victim meadow pollocks dad, andrew pollock on what he thought. Im on a mission to make the school safer and im seeing it come full circle. The fruit of my work is im seeing whats happening and the kids in florida are going to be a lot safer come the start of the school year and in other parts of the country. Neil now, this Guardian Program, i guess, that started in volusia county, youve had a lot of interest in that, i think, for some 30 positions, originally over 180 applicants. How is this working . What does it involve . Well, it started with the bill that we got passed, that senate bill 7026. That was a bill that we got passed right after the murder. It was probably its historic because we got a bill passed in a short amount of time and in that bill, part of the bill was named after the hero coach that went into douglas. His name was aaron feis. So we named it that and ive been a part of Program Since the beginning and now were putting men to work, veterans and retired Law Enforcement in polk county. This is the First Academy in the state of florida to go through this Guardian Program and im very proud to be a part of this and my hats off to sheriff grady to getting it done and to the polk county deputies. Neil im thinking of the law for the person who was armed and didnt go into the school, and since he said chaos in communication rather than afraid to going in and said i never would have sat there and let my kids get slaughtered. That was that parkland officer Scott Peterson who was forced to retire and i know you have a lawsuit going against him for the time being. What do you think of all that. Let me tell you something different, the difference between Broward County and polk county. I was here the first day the guardians came to work in the academy and we all addressed them. And im never going to forget what sheriff grady told these new cadets. He told them and addressed them in the classroom. He said when youre at work and you see someone coming into that school and theyre ready to hurt or kill one of our kids or teachers, i want you to shoot them graveyard dead. If you cant shoot them graveyard dead then we dont want you in this program and the door is over there and this job is not for you, so when you heard what Scott Peterson said, do you not believe it, dont accept it . The fact that he said im sorry, this was never meant to be an about being afraid to go in, he thought the shots were from outside, et cetera. What do you think . Neil, thats all him just trying to cover up. He knew where to go. The guy drove him on the golf cart right to the building. He actually heard the shots when he was at the door that killed aaron feis and then he retreated back behind the wall and thats him trying to cover up. Neil it doesnt do us a lot of good or bring your beautiful daughter back. No,s he just a coward. Neil and shed be getting ready for college. What does go through your mind when you go through the Guardian Program to prevent what happened to your daughter and others, how little it would have taken to avoid it . Well, neil, this Program Means so much to me because in polk county and other counties now, other counties are following polk county with this same program. So it means a lot to me because all these kids are going to be safer at the start of the school year and were getting the proper training in polk county. They get its 140 hours of training, so, its not like theyre just going to go for the weekend and then theyre going to get a certificate. This is over a month long class. Already from june, 35 have dropped out, so its not an easy class to pass. Neil no, i imagine. Do you ever worry though that you get if you go the or way, youve got a trigger happy citizen whos been, you know, deputized, so to speak and create havoc. They go through so much training, put them through a simulator, they put them in a room called the match house, where theyre actually shot back at and its no joke. They really take their training serious. I think if someone is here to do a job theyre going to do it and theyre going to wash out if theyre not prepared by the end of the course. Neil where is the money coming from for this . Andrew, was in from what the governor initiated . Is this something separate or what . Yeah, this is the training is paid for by that bill 7026. So, it was its Pretty Amazing because i live in broward, three hours south of polk county. Neil sure. And i came up here to work with a sheriff and a superintendent of schools that put their kids first and their citizens and their teachers. In broward, it took them theyre three months behind now trying to catch up and theyre not going to be ready come the start of the school year, but up here in polk county, its a deterrent. Neil im sorry i jumped on you there. A part of this new procedure. No problem. Neil is that there are going to be more Law Enforcement officials available, sheriffs, deputies, whatever you want to say, and obviously this is in addition to that, for every one thousand in the school. If we had this in place at the time of the shooting in parkland, do you think it would have been prevented . It would have made a difference because peterson was there by himself and anybody, you cant swear on any one person that theyre going to stand up when that happens. So, if you would have had in that school they would have had three. So, the chances of all three being cowards would be very slim, so i think it definitely would have made a difference for that third floor or the first floor, or even to have a guardian trained at the gate. We had a monitor in Broward County that just watched the shooter walk in off the street with a rifle bag and didnt even attempt to stop him. So one of these guardians are at that gate, its not going to end good for the guy walking in with the gun bag. Neil andrew, how are your sons doing . My sons are good. Were actually up in polk county. Im with my daughters boyfriend brandon and were going to go on our way to d. C. And were going to do some camping. Im going to a turning point usa convention, a group of Young Conservatives, and im going to speak july 23rd to these Young Conservatives and im going to be its my honor to address these kids at that turning point event. Neil theyre lucky kids. So my kids. Yeah, my son is working with the governor on students for scott. Hes having Governor Scott with his campaign. There will be no better new senator in washington than Governor Scott. Neil andrew pollock, thank you very, very much.

Delta cutting flights, but the airline hasnt been clear which routes and services might be cut. Delta might be the only major u. S.
