to go without be a breach? >> i would say yes. >> chris: mollie, this comes as bloomberg news reports mueller is taking the investigation into trump's business dealings. particularly with regard to president trump and paul manafort. sounds like if you believe the bloomberg story, mueller is getting close to the redline. >> the question was, if they look at the finances apart from russia, with that cross redline? >> chris: do you think it's going to stop? how are you going to say, which is a russia business transaction in which isn't? >> you can go into any avenues. looking into one thing in going after other things. a couple months ago, seven days before he left office, president obama change the order of succession and the department of justice to put in a close ally of eric holder's in. if you are president trump and you know there are efforts to lay traps and coordinated leaks, you would be frustrated. all of these things, people are overstating how important it is he's talking about it. these are reasonable frustrations. we have a president who is very transparent and tells everybody what he's thinking. i'm not saying that's a good idea but that's what's happening. >> chris: i want to go back to the mueller point. he was specifically asked, would you fire mueller if he did that? he didn't say he would but he didn't say he wouldn't. >> he didn't say he wouldn't is the more important one. the problem isn't what barack obama's people did. these are donald trump's people, by and large. this is rod rosenstein, jeff sessions. i think the problem is, you are seeing the president in the interview with "the new york times" and over the last few days launch attacks on federal law enforcement, his own people. jeff sessions and rod rosenstein but the acting fbi director, former fbi director. obviously wants to discredit the investigation and that's been important. this is a tricky place for president trump to go when his credibility is in question. sarah huckabee sanders says in the briefing today that the president has confidence in jeff sessions when the president said yesterday he didn't have confidence in jeff sessions. >> chris: he has done it in talking about what comey did and the illegal leak led to the appointment of mueller. >> it is telling that nobody around him who's been asked about it has to rule out the possibility of firing mueller. some of the critiques are valid. the question is how often do you make them and if you make them in such a manner that leaves you less believable than the people you are criticizing. >> chris: and do you make them on the front page of "the new york times." when we come back, methods discipline -- message discipline in the white house. n our way. you can see exactly when we'll arrive. i'm micah with safelite. customer: thanks for coming, it's right over here. tech: giving you a few more minutes for what matters most. take care. kids singing: safelite® repair, safelite® replace. my bladder leakage was making me feel like i couldn't spend time with my grandson. now depend fit-flex has their fastest absorbing material inside, so it keeps me dry and protected. go to depend.com - get a coupon and try them for yourself. >> the day when the president was inaugurated, one of the most miserable six months, unproductive six months of any presidency. >> chris: house democratic leader nancy pelosi with a decidedly negative report card on president trump's for six months in office and we are back with the panel. steve, i want to pick up on the president in the interview with "the new york times." he had had a good day yesterday. he brought almost all of the republican senators into the white house to make an impassioned plea for health care and taking one more swing at it. you can argue whether that's going to happen or not. then he goes straight from there to the oval office to talk to "the new york times" reporters for 15 minutes in talking about russia. >> i'm sure the white house communicators would have preferred he stayed on health care and made his case brit hume moved his case a little bit over the previous days from "we are going to let it fail" to repeal only tow going back to the drawing board. he had a meeting with senators. from the people i've talked to who were in the meeting, there wasn't a ton of progress made pray they were talking past one another. rob portman was asking for more money. other senators saying we need to cut the spending in the bill. they didn't come out with much of a real resolution. then republicans met last night, seeming to sort of talk past one another. we are looking at a slim likelihood this is going to get done. >> chris: speaking of slim, mollie, let's bring in the john mccain equation and the news last night, the terrible news he has an aggressive form of brain cancer. obviously it's a personal blow to the senators but it also has a political ramification which is that the slim majority they had just got slimmer. >> senator mccain did tell his colleagues he would be back and he wants them to continue their work so we can come back and vote on a bill. we hope that no matter what the case, we hope he improves. i think the most important thing coming out of the meeting was that president trump emphasized he has a pen in hand and ready to sign. they need to get their work done. we have thought there were people who were hard-nosed but rand paul said so long as he's guaranteed a vote on repeal of repeal up front he will vote to proceed with the legislation. it comes down to other senators. whether they can be brought along. it is a slim path but there is still a path. everyone is distracted by russia and other things. i hear that this and that is making progress. >> chris: let's look at a tweet john mccain said. "i greatly appreciate the outpouring of support. unfortunately for my sparring partners in congress, i will be back soon. so standby." sounds just like john mccain. here was the reaction from perhaps his closest friend in the senate, lindsey graham. stickley has called me three times this morning. no more "woe is me, lindsey." she is yelling at me to buck up. so i'm going to buck up. >> chris: how big blow to the senate? >> it's tough. when ted kennedy came out in 2008, he was sort of the heart and soul of the democratic party. i think mccain has filled that role for republicans. he is well-liked by a lot of members. beyond the emotional piece is the practical piece, the political peace. his absence, for the time being, a problem for mcconnell. no margin for error. >> chris: charles, put it together, if you will. if terrible news about john mccain, health care vote next week, president trump going off on russia again. >> mccain, if he had to, he would be carried in on a stretcher to cast a vote. he's going to be there. he has overcome a lot more. it's a terrible disease but i think there is no reason why, for the short term, he shouldn't continue to be active. chemo and other such there be could weaken him but for the short-term, adult tickets going to have a difference. for the long term, i think he is the spirit of reaganism. more heroic than reagan himself and his own right but he carried the ideas of reagan, expansive, optimistic, america, confidence. and that is waning among republicans and the whole country. this is kind of a embolism in him being struck down by this illness. i think it reflects that, and we are going to miss him because he is the one -- i don't want to give an obituary. >> chris: i was going to say, let's not say goodbye yet. >> if you think of who would succeed mccain, i don't think he has a successor. >> chris: you talk about him and the republicans, he is beloved by democrats too. one of the few true legislators really interested in trying to work out of compromise. >> he was loved when he was running against republicans in 2000. not loved when he ran against barack obama. there is a double standard, especially in the press. it was extremely acute with john mccain. >> chris: point well made. next up, o.j. simpson wins a "get out of jail" card. people would ask me in different countries that we traveled, what is your nationality and i would always answer hispanic. so when i got my ancestry dna results it was a shocker. i'm everything. i'm from all nations. i would look at forms now and wonder what do i mark?

>> because of the shocking end of the trial for the murders. for most people, there are exceptions. it was a myth character of justice on an enormous scale. the nine years he spent was a kind of poetic justice. the guidelines, he served his time. he should be let go. anyone else would have been given less time for that crime. this is al capone on tax evasion. that's how everybody sees it. he should have been convicted for the murders. he wasn't, whatever. he won the case, the civil case. she was shown to be guilty and some funds with the smallest evidence. on the merit, it was a righteous thing to do but the fact is that o.j. is a cultural symbol. that's why everyone is riveted and their reaction is out of proportion with the importance of this case. >> chris: that was one of the things that charles just touched on. there is a fascinating disconnect between the parole board, judging simpson solely on this 2007 robbery and his behavior in prison since then and the rest of the world is judging him on the basis of the savage murder of nicole brown simpson and ron goldman back in 1994. >> charles put it correctly. it's a bit of poetic justice. what's fascinating is that i work in an office. we have a lot of millennials. i figured none of them would even know who o.j. was. some of them weren't even born at the time the trials had played. everyone was glued to this tv set. they all knew who he was. there is a documentary on espn, on fox, it's really kept his story alive and it's been enduring. it's still riveting to this day. >> chris: of course some key figures from the murder trial back in 1995 were brought back today, to comment on it. he was former prosecutor. >> if you are really remorseful and a born-again christian, let's move this discussion forward and admit. >> chris: i don't think that's likely to happen, molly, your thoughts on this latest chapter in the o.j. saga? >> i think people might have forgotten that oj was in prison. everyone that was alive during this remembers where they were when that verdict came down. i'm one of those people that charles referenced -- i'm not saying that oj was innocent but i don't think the government made their case in the double homicide. it's not a popular theme but on that jury, i would have sided with the jury given what they knew. it captured everybody's imagination. there were issues of race and class tied up in the spirit o.j. -- we now think of him in terms of his murder but he was an amazing sport star and they enjoyed him in the airplane movies and his acting there was not so good as we have seen sense but it's a tremendous cultural moment. >> chris: some people have said he was the most famous contemporary figure to ever be accused of murder and that's part of the fascination, nobody that famous and people who are younger don't realize back in the '90s in '80s how famous o.j. simpson was. does he now go back to being a golf player in florida and we all forget about him? >> he crossed over with the buffalo bills to doing commercials. i still think of o.j. simpson every time i'm running through an airplane. to be in the airplane movies, the naked gun movies -- if leslie nielsen hadn't died, maybe they could have revived the naked gun movies. david sucker once told me if he ever did a naked gun again, it would be beating a dead horse but leslie nielsen isn't around to join him. >> chris: i don't think any producer is going to put o.j. simpson on screen. his justice too much to ask when it comes to o.j. simpson? >> look, he got nine years for a crime that for anybody who wasn't him, it would have been two or three years. justice was stretched in one case where the majority of people, molly excluded, it was driven into the ground in another case. there is a comic justice. it doesn't do the crime. it doesn't undo the crime. i think to plead guilty no contest -- he wasn't the cleanest of characters. let it rest. the judgment today was a just one. let it rest at that. >> chris: that's it for the panel but will be compact, a visit to disney world. you won't want to miss. people who rely on us every day to deliver their dreams they're handing us more than mail they're handing us their business and while we make more e-commerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country, we never forget... that your business is our business the united states postal service. priority: you ♪ ♪ >> chris: finally tonight, there's a reason they call it the happiest place on earth. when courtney anton gilmore took their foster children to disney world, jenny and elijah, they thought the highlight was going to be meeting mickey mouse but mickey had a much bigger surprise, telling them that they gilmore's were formally adopting them. >> you are here! hi. its adoption. >> chris: even better than space mountain. i am chris wallace in washington. "the story" hosted by martha maccallum starts right about now. >> martha: the real class of celebrity and brutality that is o.j. simpson. once again, glued to our tvs. he was the story. good evening, i am martha maccallum. from the heisman to the hertz man to the first 911 call. >> can you get someone over here now? he's back. >> okay, what does he look like? >> he's o.j. simpson. i think you know his record. >> what is he doing there? >> chris: >> martha: the brutalr
