trump presidency and it remains controversial on capitol hill. You dont have to be dr. Phil to understand that the president and the Attorney General dont have a good working relationship. Every president deserves an Attorney General they have confidence in. I hope the relationship gets better. If it doesnt i imagine the president will look for a new Attorney General. As a member of the Judiciary Committee and this body, i find it really difficult to envision any circumstance where i would confirm a successor to Jeff Sessions is he is fired because he is executing his job rather than choosing to act as a partisan hack. Before leaving hear ohio, the president was forced to quietly navigate Precarous Territory here at home. Michael cohen one of the most important figures in the trump

John surpassed expectations for his survival but the progress of the disease and the advance of age rendered their verdict. Mccain was a prison of war for 5 years in vietnam. I celebrate what hes been able to do. He ran for president twice. He is nice. No, maam. He is a decent family man. Mccain lost the general election to barack obama.

Causing Flash Flooding and mud slides. I never seen anything like this in 43 years. Sirens sounded as lane floats close to the hawaii islands. Tourists were warned to leave the beach. Some surfers rode out the storm. Other locals are taking no chance. Dont let your guard down. Its the one time you dont expect it when it hits. The good news is the storm seems to be breaking up from what was a cat4. The bad news is we are expected to get some of the effects on

Tonight the Democratic Party battle over Super Delegates. Progressives blamed the rig system for giving Hillary Clinton the unfair advantage over Bernie Sanders in 2016. Now they can do something about. Mike tells us how. Democrats meeting in chicago this week bullish on their 2018 midterm prospects and looking to fix their president ial nominating progress. We have forward leaning reforms. 2 years ago Bernie Sanders lost to Hillary Clinton in a process that frustrated lots of sanders supporters who thought the Democratic Party system was stacked in clintons favor. One big gripe was the Super Delegates had too much sway in
the outcome. The hillary people cant get in their minds that hillary cant beat trump. The Super Delegates [inaudible]. Its corrupt. Now sanders and the partys leadership are behind a proposal to limit the influence of Super Delegates in 2020. It will keep them off the first ballot. Only delegates linked to a vote will be counted. Making sure at the end of the day when the process is done, to select the democratic nominee, they feel like their candidate got a fair shake. Only if a candidate fails to win a majority will the Super Delegates be brought in to for the second ballot to tip the balance. You will see discussions here
and there. At the end we will be unified. Democrats moving forward for the 2020 election. Democrats are likely to pass reforms to the Caucus Process and demand that iowa allow for absentee votes. And Michael Avanati showed up her. He is taking a run up not only in the courtroom but may run for the presidency as well. Bret up next. The government let hackers into its system. Beyond our borders. In berlin people have to leave their homes due to fire. John bolt know said u. S. Sanctions against russia will remain in place until moscow changes its behavior.

From bad hackers. Jillian turner has details. The House Committee is thinking outside of the box to protect future elections from foreign meddling. In 2019 they propose the department of Homeland Security set up a Hacking Competition to identify vulnerabilities in systems across the country. The idea for ethical hackers to break into the u. S. System. Voter databases and report their findings back to the government. This is called red teaming and said the government will use the hackers findings to patch up holes in the system. Where the innovation comes in. We have not done it at this scale. This leading edge way before. Its exciting to see this type of thinking apply to such a huge and complex program. Its a process the private sector already relies on. If you look at google, microsoft, facebook, twitter, the banks, a lot of fortune 500 companies established capture the flag competitions. Red teaming may be a common practice, it carries risks that need to be managed. Typically there are Rules Of Engagement given to participants in these hacks. Hackers need to be vetted and signed Nondisclosure Contracts to prevent leaking classified information. Just because you give a group of Computer Scientists or hackers access to certain systems doesnt mean they get the kings to the kingdom. Cyber policy experts say in the future responsibility for protecting the u. S. Elections
wont fall to the government alone. The public and private sector have to team up to combat foreign interferes. Foreverness. Interference. Bret thousands of venezuela people are crossing into peru hours before stiffer rules will make entering that nation more difficult. Peru is following in the foot steps of other nations requiring that they enter with a passport. It takes effect saturday. The United Nationed estimated 2. 3 venezuelans left since 2014.

The report from houston tonight. All of my grandmothers stuff is gone. [crying]. They could not part with. Now its gone. [crying]. Its gone. When we left her Hurricane Harvey sent feet of water into her houston home. Today. They took everything out. All up to here. She and her husband in their 80s are back home after being displaced for 6 months. Our daughters friends gave us a free place to live in their garage apartment. We had no place to go. Their house had never flooded before. But harveys record rainfall overwhelmed the Flood Control system inundating communities thought to be safe. We cant let this happen again. We have to do everything to make sure it doesnt. A 2. 5billion dollars bond package is the first step. In voters improve upgrades could be made to the countys Flood Control system. Our budget is 120million dolla dollars. This would double or triple our
budget and allow us to pursue largest projects. The average homeowner would pay 10 extra in Property Taxes a year to fund everything. We have to fix it. When you have such a large amount of infrastructure, we are behind on fixing it all because of lack of funding which would be addressed by this. Money well spent say the hillmans and many others who are willing to pay if it can prevent last years horrors from ever repeating. Voters head to the polls tomorrow in Harris County to decide that bond issue. It is expected to pass. Tonight more than 10,000 people remain displaced from their homes across this region one year later. Bret thank you. The family feud between the president and his Attorney General goes another round.

Before discovering nexium 24hr to treat her frequent heartburn, lucy could only imagine enjoying a slice of pizza. Now its as easy as pie. Nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for allday, allnight protection. Can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn . Now i know youre thinking, i dont want to hear about insurance. Cause lets be honest, nobody likes dealing with insurance, right . Which is why esurance hired me, dennis quaid, as their spokesperson because apparently, im highly likable. I like dennis quaid. Awww. And they want me to let you know that, cue overdramatic music, theyre on a mission to make insurance painless. Excuse me, you dropped this. They know its confusing. I literally have no idea what im getting, dennis quaid. Thats why theyre making it simple, man in cafe. And they know its expensive. Yeah. So theyre making it affordable. Thank you. Youre welcome. Thats a prop apple. Now, you might not believe any of this since this is a television commercial, but thats why theyre being so transparent. Anyways. This is the end of the commercial where i walk off into a very dramatic sunset to reveal the new esurance tagline
so that youll remember it. Esurance. Its surprisingly painless. I have spoken to weisselberg about how to set the whole thing up. Its all of the stuff because you never know. Correct. I am all over that. You spoke to allan about it. When it comes time for the financing, we will have to pay him. Pay him cash. No. Check. Did you know about the payments . Later on i knew. But you have to understand, what he did and they were not taken out of campaign finance. Bret all of this coming as
the president s personal attorney pleading guilty and new revelations about the cfo of the Trump Organization granted immunity. Weisselberg, the Wall Street Journal broke the story. Weisselberg was called to testify before a Federal Grand Jury earlier. He aranged for the Trump Organization to reimburse mr. Cohen who made a payment to Stormy Daniels for her silence about the alleged affair. The person familiar with mr. Weisselberg said he didnt know that was money was to pay miss clifford. Lets bring in the panel. Post Washington Post
columnist and mark. A lot to digest. Another immunity deal. The prosecutors in the Southern District of new york were trying to get all of their eyes dotted and ts crossed. It has nothing to do with the russianclusion. It would be ironic if the democrats tried to impeach donald trump to extramarital relations. During the Monica Lewinsky scandal, the democrats said it had nothing to do with asmt. Impeachment. This payment happened days
before the election. And they wrote in the Washington Post they dont think this is illegal. He could say i didnt want my wife and kids to know. There are lots of reasons why he could do it. Even in the democrats take back the house and senate in this election, donald trump wont be removed from office and convicted by twothirds of the United States senate for making a payment to a porn star its not going to happen, period. Bret heres what Rush Limbaugh says about this. They are making a beline for trumps tax returns. Donald trump took a Tax Deduction of nearly A Billion Dollars that was permitted. If they could somehow get a judgment via an audit that, that massive deduction should not be
allowed and should be reversed. Well, i think it was 20 years. The penalty and interest would wipe out the Trump Organization. Thats their real objective. If they have to ruin ivanka and jared and don jr. , they will do it. Bret one perspective of what he thinks will happen. First the only crime that we care if the president is involved in Cant Be Relateed to russia. We should care if the president is implicateed in crimes even not relateed to russia because he is the president. Its broader than Stormy Daniels and these payments. Mueller is looking at ties to russian financing and oligarch. We dont be what the answers will be. The cfo getting immunity is a bigger problem. It could be a much broader
problem and it could be related to russia. If bob mueller thought there was anything relateed to russia he would not have spun this off to new york. We need to take steps back and think through the big problem we have with political prosecutions in this country. I read the report that was 500 pages long. With Hillary Clinton they had everybody including Hillary Clinton on false statements but chose not to prosecute that. They never squeezed anyone. They never said Obstruction Of Justice was something they would prosecute. Bret and they gave immunity to cheryl mills. With nothing in return. You want to see the law applied. You dont want to see anyone breaking the law. If you only apply it to one sector of the people and they are the political enemies and you let your political friends get away with anything, thats disruptive to the republic. We need confidence in the fbi and the Department Of Justice. Thats something they are not thinking through trying to find him guilty of something. Bret what if the prosecutors in new york are making an effort maybe not as detailed as russia but outside of what the Justice Department is doing. The state from both Manhattan District Attorney and the new york prosecutors saying maybe we can indict the president , even if the doj is saying you cant. Under state law, you cant give a pardon under state law to the president of the United States. Thats possible that Something Like that is happening. Mueller maybe thats why he passed it off. Because Mueller Cant Indict the president. Maybe there are things he thinks are indictable in a new york
courtroom. This is supposed to be about russia. If mueller is using this all to get if there are tapes of information that talk about russia. Now donald trump is in trouble and could be impeached. Its the same thing always did he do anything with russia . It there wasnt he will be fine. Bret the president tweeted this morning following up on the back and forth with the Attorney General the Department Of Justice wont be improperly influenced by political considerations. This is what everyoneness. Everyone wants. Look into all of the Illeg Ille Corruption On The Other Side
[laughing]. Bret pretty clear. And Jeff Sessions hit back with trump yesterday to get a response. I think the president sought Attorney General as his personal Attorney General. He is now realizing its the country. And Jeff Sessionss to his credit is treating it that way. That list of things in President Trumps tweets is asking Jeff Sessions to use the Attorney General position politically and Jeff Sessions has pushed forward an agenda but not done the partisan things that donald trump wants him to. In this country we believe that all Law Enforcement is subject to political accountability. Thats the president of the United States. The way you are accountable to the people is through the president. When people say its good to have an independent agency. Thats how you dont govern as an american. We need him to be accountable to authorities. He recuseed himself from all of this. There are problems with Hillary Clinton not being truthful about legal fees that were paid for the russian dossier. You have violations with the company putting together that dossier and Christopher Steele using his friends in the Justice Department to do the bidding of his foreign clients. If you care about these things, you have to have equal application. You need an Attorney General who can respond. These are republicans running these organizations. Bob mueller is a republican. We are taking your Lightning Round time. Andrew mccabe was fired and the Inspector General has a crimmial referral on him. There is an investigation into
the Hillary Clinton foundation. If thats all true, then Jeff Sessions is running the Justice Department in a way ticking off a lot of the things the president listened. Bret we will follow it all. Next up the friday Lightning Round. This program is brought to you by . The highway when the guy in front slams on his brakes out of nowhere. You do, too, but not in time. Hey, no big deal.

They named a new envoy at the state department. Was there new intelligence that the president received overnight . Cynics will say he did this to change the news cycle. I have no idea what the answer is. I think the question is what comes next . We have seen donald trump cancel meetings with north korea as a leverage tool. I can see in a week from now diplomacy is back on. Its a good move to cancel the meeting. North korea came to the table because of donald trump made a threat of a use of force. They are frustrated because he hasnt lifted sanctions or given
them diplomatic recognition. He seemed to either to negotiate and that undermind his position. Cancelling the meeting will make them feel he is not as eager to reach a deal. Bret sad news from the john mccain family. He surpassed expectations from his survival. The progress of the cancer and the advance of age rendered their verdict. With his usual strength of will he has chosen to discontinue medical treatment. Senator mcconnell tweeted it is sad news.

that are sending people off to war and dedicated his life to public service. Regardless of what you think of his politics this is something we will all lose. Bret winners and loser . Winner everyone who cares about national security. Nsa winner was given a 5 year center for leaking classified information to a left wing magazine. The longest sentence ever. Loser is the opposition of bret kavanaugh. All of the democrats were salivating over a report that will name kavanaugh as a leak every his name is not in it. Paula duncan said on fox news she is a Die Hard Trump Support and Didnt Want Manafort to be guilty but the law applies equally to everyone. It was her civic duty. Loser donald trump work week of his presidency. Plea deals. The economy is the winner. The fed chairman reported about the strength of our economy.
