He was interviewed by investigative Journalist Carl Bernstein at a conference hosted by the new school, new york city. Mr. Mccabe was fired by the Justice Department less than two days before his planned retirement. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much for that warm welcome. And good evening.

Tonight id like to talk to you a bit about loyalty and about how my experiences in the fbi showed me the majesty and the power of loyalty at its best. And t

And serving with him and under him. And the nazis poof but in. Good evening, everyone. I believe we have a very nice, very, very nice audience tonight. I think perhaps the largest audience weve had since precovid. So welcome to tonights program. Only truly iconic figures of the 20th century american history. The long time fbi director j. Edgar hoover, a special. I suppose its not surprising that in a series titled great lives, the term iconic often comes up to the point of being somewhat trite, perhaps. But in this case, particularly, i think its appropriate because there are few figures to whom that description applies more properly. I agree that the j.

Live now to the floor of the United States senate. They are back from their summer recess and our live coverage picks up right here right now on cspan2. The president pro tempore the senate will come to order. The chaplain, dr. Barry black , will lead the senate in prayer. The chaplain let us pray.

And, lord, we pray for those affected by Hurricane Harvey and for those bracing for hurricane irma. We pray in your merci
