Generation or last few generations has died unexpectedly today. Robin williams, age 63, died in his home in Northern California, what the Marin County Sheriffs Office is describing as a suspected suicide. Its hard to overstate the fame and the popularity that Robin Williams achieved almost instantly, thanks to his Remarkable Television debut in the late 1970s. February 1978 when he went from being a relatively unknown comic to one of the most famous actors in america. Thanks to his appearance as a space alien named mork during the fifth season of the humongously popular 1950s themed sitcom that was called happy days which i watched basically on a loop throughout my entire childhood. The mork on happy days completely off the wall appearance freaked audiences out in the best possible way and from that appearance came the sitcom called mork mindy which was an immediate sensation. If you were an american who watched television in the late 1970s, early 1980s, you knew chap and verse about m
This is cnn tonight. Im don lemon. A transition source telling cnn Governor Haley is under consideration for a number of key cabinet positions. Lets begin this hour with sarah murray, who can update us. Lets start out with the breaking news tonight sarah on the transition. What can you tell us . Lets talk about nikki haley.

But the fact you are seeing donald trump meet with nikki haley he has a full slate of meetings tomorrow but i feel like haley is the headline because she was really critical of him during the campaign. Publicly critical, openly critical. She ultimately said she was going to vote for donald trump. But if he were to be seriously considering nikki haley for secretary of state, if he were to pick her
Friends. But first, back here in the u. S. , enough is enough. The lies, the deceit, the fear mongering. Journalists increasingly are feeling empowered to call out the trump white houses lies. Because the evidence is right on tape. It made me wonder at the end of a long week was this a lie, too . I will never lie to you. I will never tell you something i do not believe. I will never put anyones interests ahead of yours. That was from the campaign. But this now, the trump presidency, this is what a crisis of leadership looks and feels like. Every week another scandal. Every week another coverup. This week it involved Rudy Giuliani. You see him there on hannity. He was talking about Stormy Daniels and the payoff and questions about when she was really paid off and how, when did trump know. Were laws violated . And were there other stormys, too . He didnt rule it out. This week i have to admit i chuckled at some of the headlines calling this a white house credibility crisis. I mean, that
