i am honored, sir. >> i am honored my friend. >> thank you for coming in. before i do that, tell me about the lyrics of your new song. i was interested in reading them. >> i wanted to see if i can save it so i googled how to save a bird on your balcony. >> there was something there. >> in nashville and so i did manage to save this thing but the kicker was, i had to call it back because the bird came around and was sort of peacocking around my balcony but would not leave. i called it back and she said well, tell me more of the bird and she discovered it was an american coop. she started laughing, wow, it is just one thing about, it is one of a handful species of birds that'll not take off from land, it will only take off from water. i said you are kidding me. yeah, i got the river down the streets there. hade to box it up and take it down and and show it the water. as soon as it saw the water, it kicked me and the box and jumped in the river there and ran across the water. it was just me and it was like 6:30 at night and it was getting dark and the light of

[laughter] sandra: so a human touch to ames. and i will add one more thing, if you had told me that rick ames was going to be one of the worst traitors this country had ever seen, i would have said no in the early days. not the aldrich ames i knew. and i knew him since 1973. so -- yes? >> were there other people around you other than rick ames that drew more suspicion and had you thought about what was the distinction between him and the others that he seemed to be not suspect to such an extreme degree? and do you know what ever happened to rosario? sandra: i will answer that one first. what happened to rosario. i don't have a clue. i suspect she is alive and well and living the good life in bogota where her family is. they did have one child, paul is his name. nd he is in his 20s now. when rosario went off to jail, her mother took paul back to colombia where he was raised. he was 5 or 6 at the time. rick had no children by his irst marriage. what was the question again? e was not suspect. where there others who were more suspec

i am a collateral descendent. i think i am a second cousin. grandfather,s andrew hood, comes off a different branch, but i am a big ,an of general hood because like most people i am a big fan of an underdog. fan ofm also a huge people who are not around to defend themselves, and they deserve a defense. i, for probably 20 years, have been researching general hood. and there is the old saying, we have heard it a million times, "if it sounds too good to be true it usually is." is,what we don't here "usually if something sounds too bad to be true, it is usually not. " there is a saying that, "the more fantastic of the accusation, then the more fantastic the evidence should be." so, with john bell hood, there and so manymyths totally extreme things, that i'm assuming you have all heard, that i decided i got to start looking into these things because it just doesn't make sense. woodworthk stephen summed it up perfectly in a book or an article a while back, and he was talking about braxton bragg and john bell hood. and he said, if you read the recent

i am a student. one of the things that is really kind of getting into the nature of the new media age is compartmentalization. people are able to pick and choose the news they get. through theift noise of all of that and all of the fake news and otherwise to get your message out to the readers? >> i will be short. i had marty address that earlier. a lot is doing things like this, a lot of it is talking about who reporters are. some people think a certain mythology about who runs america's apron. marty is from tampa. i am from new orleans. i think it is letting people know we are honorable people who make mistakes sometimes but who have honorable goals and we hire veterans. newsrooms that look like america. we want you to know that. that is the main thing. >> thank you.

[laughter] mrs. obama: i was like, ok, i'm working out too then. which was a good motivation. and then after a while, i needed it. it made me feel better, physically, emotionally, it was meditative. just, it iss, it just a place to release and to solely invest in me. shonda

>> i am getting a good bit of feedback. you know, you were talking about halloween, hoping to have a holiday that did not involve politics, halloween is one of my favorite, i like spooky, i think things are right now spooky in the country. bill: did i describe it correctly, try to hit points that i saw, is it supposed to be anti-trump, have you done this before. >> it is, this is my view, halloween, i am a political constitutional historian, i do talk on political history, this is just another median to get a message out, so, you know, last year and aftermath of elect, day after the election i thought, boy, american ship of state has gone off course, what came next was a private ship, that is -- pirate ship that is how i feel about trump, and his cabinet, they are pirates pillaging the nation. bill: are they both upset, happy? >> anti-trump people are thrilled with it. and they love it they believe that it is truthful and represents everything that is going on in our nation. as you said it was you know, a james comey walkin

one of the guys that i am in the b band that i am rehearsing with, oh, you should get her up to sing or something. apparently, they went and mentioned it to her and she was sweet enough to come out and we rehearsed it and she killed it. >> yeah. >> i was a hero with my daughter. [ laughter ] >> at least a week. [ laughter ] the things that your kids will go for. you hang out with solan point. >> yeah, that was it for a while. we saw you talking to my assistant, i saw you talking to danny. he's from missouri and you guys were chatting, the both of you guys lived in ferguson. >> i am from ferguson. and danny lived in ferguson but being from st. louis. i have not talked to you since then, so much has happened since then and not to demean all cops, of course, how have you process all of this stuff over the last few years given that you are from ferguson? >> well, it is really and caused me to think so more widely about my experience going up there. >> right. >> you know in this country, people are exposed to so little of what goes on with everyone in this country, you know? when i glow r

i am one of them. one of the response abilities of being lieutenant governor is to serve on the commission for rural virginians. you did not attend at a single meeting. the other is to serve on a panel to make sure that virginians are safe in our homes and communities and businesses. you did not serve -- show up to one meeting of the security panel. virginia economic development partnership, the central means by which we mean to raise pay in the commonwealth of virginia. you missed 60% of those. maybe just as well, given that you are for higher taxes, and i am for lower taxes. i am for higher wages, you are for lower wages. my policies will help people lift themselves out of poverty. i will work hard on the half -- on behalf of the people of virginia. lt. gov. northam: all right, i apologize for stepping on you there. >> it is now time for our seventh question. >> governor bob mcdonald enacted increased funding for highways and bridges. in spite of this, the quality of the infrastructure is still lower

i am a very determined person and i am not someone determined person and i am not someone who gives up. that is a relief, i am overjoyed with that. you go further down the peace and you have two ministers according to this piece of plotting her downfall. they are in touch with a third who agreed she had to go, and a fourth told the newspaper she is finished and they need to organise an orderly transition to a new leader. it is a car crash, it is a mess, it is a shambles. and i can't see it lasting, i really can't. the trouble is, i totally agree, none of us can see it lasting, but none of us can see it lasting, but none of us can see what the alternative is. many people are saying that there are three choices facing theresa may and the conservative party. she either goes i'iow, the conservative party. she either goes now, sometime between now and christmas, it is a short—term option, which lots of people are saying would get it out the way, pull the plaster cast off, feel the pain and move on. the other thing to bearin pain and move on. the other thing to bear in mind, we are in the

i am not a business person. i also watched you cook and i wonder how that translates because i get the impression very much that you, like many chefs, cooked by instinct. you have an idea and you try it out. it becomes a recipe, is that right? yes, absolutely. a lot of recipes evolve from something which completely avant garde almost. i will tell you one example, a sea bass dish which is a lovely wild sea bass. i happened to have fruit salad next to me because i try and do my five a day. i had a bowl of fruit salad with passion fruit. one of the passion fruit pips landed into a hollandaise mix which i was not using for the fish dish. i tasted the hollandaise and thought, oh my goodness, passion fruit hollandaise, believe it or not it really works. that's how i stumble along my road of finding things, quite often by mistake. another thing, cauliflower puree we were doing, this is in the book. someone had taken it too far and let it boil down with some milk until it ca ramelised. it was a big pan of cauliflower. a

i am sick of it. i have not been the sick or something since 81 pound of candy corn and then rode teacups! that was last year. there hasn't been this much talk about kneeling since monica gate. it is absurd! it is just a game! have not seen this type of attention devoted to grown men in tights standing, kneeling, since the village people! i blame the nfl. donald trump is right people are scared! standing up to identity politics makes it a bigot. i also blame the internet cable, myself. the story will not die because we will not let it! this reminds me of a spat at a walmart that gets out of hand. everyone starts gawking and strangers join in. one hour later police action because someone is not wearing pants and someone lost her weight. it is time to go home. time to let it die. do you see these protests are spreading? sorry passengers on delta flight 451. our airplane cannot depart until everyone locks arm and sings john lennon's imagine. you save is not about the flag but why do it during the anthem?

i am not sure i agree with you. if you live in neighborhood and people of color moves in and everybody looks like you -- why do we have to have the debate? >> what i am saying is that a lot of politicians in -- >> somebody black moving next door, we'll have a debate about it? >> what i am saying is that a lot of politicians have not been able to recognize those grievances. people need to adjustment a lot of politician force so long in these countries, people in the neighborhoods were saying hey, we want to talk about this and there are some issues here. people are not integrating and changing. these are issues that neeshould talked abilitout. >> they seeded that far ground. >> i hear your argument. why are we labeling it to a grievance. if people are living in the country legally, i don't know why people looking just like you, why are we having a debate about it? >> that's not legitimate, i agree with you there. especially in these european countries that's different in the u.s. in the sense that they have comprehen

i am not going to pretend to not believe in labor. i am not going t n be pro-choice. i am not going to pretend that climate change isn't real. jessica: known as aunt stacey to her nieces and nephews, abrams is quick-witted and a self-proclaimed talker. she spends her free time with her family -- and writing. she's authored eight romantic suspense novels under the pen name selena montgomery. abrams: i love writing romantic -- i love writing. i like to write about the men that will one day find me. hopefully, he will step out of these pages and show up at my front door. jessica: i was g have written all of these books and you are single? abrams: it is hard. dating is hard. i have been a little busy and focused on when you hear the words "the the u.s.," what does that mean to you? abrams: i'm proud. but i am also excited, because i am helping change the face of what we think leadership looks like. i don't expect anyone to vote for me because i am black. i don't expect anyone to vote for me because i am a woman. but i do expect you to know that because i am a black woman,

charlie slows on assignment, i am jeff glor. we begin tonight with a 100th anniversary of forbes magazine. >> it is primary media in terms of information, we are providing you the tools to succeed in life, by analyses, writing about others for whom you can learn, each forbes story tries to have a lesson, a little morality tale that you can take away, not just a piece of information but something, ah, that relates to something i am trying to do or want to do or did do. and so you feel you are getting something out of it more than adjust piece of news or information. >> glor: we continue with the actor woody harrelson and director ron reiner talking about the new film, lbj. >> i worked in government and spent time with public policy and politics. i had a greater appreciation for what he was able to accomplish and i felt that that moment in his life when he assumes the presidency as he talked about, the awesome power of responsibility of the presidency, that is when we could explore who he really was in that time of his life. >> gl

i am kind of any girl -- itunity interlocutory am kind of an equal opportunity interlocutor. with teaching, i am sure at the end of the day that i have made some kind of difference in the world. there is nothing like opening up someone's mind to two possibilities, and that is what teaching is all about. host: did the student protests edward snowden at all? campuses areollege leaning left or whatever you want to call it. don't meanhey anything today. aey are voting democratic, so scholar associated with the republican party is controversial to them, which is unfortunate since the republican party is the other major party in the united states. that is just the reality of it. snowden is revered by the left so there are no protest when he o appears on campus. i want to see that remedied. i think it is important. my students know i am a democrat. it is important to engage with someone like charles murray because it shows them i believe in a free and fair exchange of views in my classroom, which you have to have for liberal education to take place. ethnic looked up the population i

while i am doing the real stuff. if you take what i said, they can be very good at hiding their hand, youiding their have to entertain the possibility that they may have spent millions in ways you do not know. >> i agree. if we assume that $100,000 is the limit of what we have spent, and that is not a very significant amount relative to the amount spent on the campaign, it is enough to say these weren't patriotic hackers. the folks out there that are very good at messing around are also very stingy about spending their money on stuff. they like to steal money, i don't like to spend it. i think we can safely rule out these were patriotic hackers. it had to be someone with connections to government money in some way. i think it is a legitimate point. this may not be the limit of what was spent. false flag is always possible. you always have to look at the deception hypothesis. but in this particular case, i doubt that was what actually occurred. >> i've been writing about some of this stuff. i put a couple paragraphs i

[whistling] >> so these days, as a person, i am ok. but as an american, i am really concerned. i am concerned about what the future holds for our country and for so many americans. joy to thinkith about all of the friends and people i have met over the years who can now marry, raise a family, serve their country, live proudly and open late in ways that once seemed unimaginable. [applause] >> but it makes my heart sink to -- to know that so much of the progress we worked for, celebrated, maybe even started to take a little bit for granted, is nowhere near as secure as we had hoped. that is where each of you and the human rights campaign comes in. h.r.c. has always stood for progress, for a future that is better than the past. you have changed hearts, minds, and laws. you have learned from devastating losses and come back weiss as -- come back twice as strong to celebrate historic wins. lines ofn the front the fight for full equality for lgbt americans and all americans. so to paraphrase a song i love, i hope you still got a lot of fight left in you. [applause] >> because we have

well, i am a work in progress but i am headed that way! and as you said to me earlier, is that a woman whose life now doesn't need... to put it bluntly... to be connected to a man, in a partnership or marriage? i totally do not need to be connected to a man, no. totally do not. and will not? i don't think so, no. but that doesn't mean... i have friends in their 80s and 90s who are still going at it! and, god bless them, it is not over, it is just me personally, i have been through three husbands and a number of lovers. that's it, over. ijust got a new house! unfortunately, we're running out of time... and you just ended with that marvellous it's over. and i guess i have to say, this interview, unfortunately, is also over. gosh, there is so much left to say! applause. will you come back? thank you. good morning. fairly quiet conditions at the moment. on monday, things turn more stormy to the west of the uk, especially in northern ireland. the met office has already issued amber weather warnings. the worst will be in southern ireland. 0pheli

i am convinced that dialogue will continue. i am also convinced it is quite difficult to imagine a situation hypothetical, virtual round of talks on further reduction of nuclear arsenals can take place in a bilateral format. the figures reflected in the current agreement reach more than the arsenals of the united states and russia. >> thank you. thank you and good luck.

obviously i am referring to the children around the room. we are excited and welcome the kids of the press corps to the white house. they will love trick-or-treating in the executive office building, and i look forward to taking some questions, maybe even from some of the kids today. a couple of things to note -- yesterday was an important moment for our nation's fight against the drug addiction and opioid epidemic that has hurt so many families. by directing a nationwide health emergency to address the crisis, the president is mobilizing his entire administration to confront this issue. the president's remarks included a powerful story and set the stage for the country to unite behind this fight to save lives. in the wake of the announcement, several cabinet members and agency heads are traveling around the country for event related to the crisis. among those participating are attorney general sessions, secretary schultz and hearken. these events illustrate that the president truly has made this issue an administration-wide priority. on the

what am i missing? >> murphies not a great candidate because he doesn't know how to a tk late his own policies. kim guadagno is adding up everything and by huge amount and $70 billion in the proposals and kim guadagno essaying, look, if you elect me, i willow are the property taxes or i will not run. >> let me ask you. he get it why they don't want to con the show. won't come on here. as the race tightens, democrats and republican is a degreing. why not get throughout and refute some of this? >> i think the first thing is, i don't think the raisin gel deg gites. one republican poll that said it was nine points but the race probably like 14-15 points as you get closer to election day. the margin does get a little slimmer. he think kim guadagno needs to be accurate with her plan as well. her tax proposal raises taxes like chris christie's proposal has raised tax consecutively. because it has raised taxes for the last four years as well. last time, in my. think a candidate ran fullout on raising taxes with

i am serious. a person with bad credit. alex: i remember everything about exactly where i was when i had that interview. foreclosure where people were trying to figure out what was happening with their houses in the financial crisis. quick backstory, that was a big hour-long episode of this american life. adam davidson, a reporter for npr, and i, we teamed up to do this big hour-long on mortgage finance. we were trying to explain what was going on with the financial crisis. we had no idea how to do it and nothing like that had ever been tried at this american life. for inspiration, we looked to a show called radio lab, launched by jad and robert. they have this two cohosts set up where it was really effective , because they were talking about science, these really complicated things. one person would be like what are you saying? and the other person would be like, i am saying this, and we ripped it off and made a ton of money. and thank you. >> one of the things interesting about listening to that is that came out literally

number one, like you have heard, i am from wisconsin. wisconsin is a fantastic place to visit in the fall. looking back, someone probably should've told hillary clinton that. [laughter] [applause] speaker ryan: just saying. speaking of which, i got a copy of her new book. this thing sums up politics perfectly. she took eight months writing 10 hours a day to explain what happened in 512 pages. the president explained it in a tweet. # i won. [laughter] speaker ryan: fact number two, you know, we have primaries in the republican party these days. my primary opponent in 2060 was -- 2016 was endorsed by sarah palin. i am not really that mad about it because we have a lot in common. we both lost for vice president. we both debated joe biden. and given the current investigations, i too can see russia from the house. [applause] speaker ryan: by the way, i really appreciate these last -- laughs. i usually do not get them unless i am debating joe biden. very much appreciate that. fact number three, with all of the experts, they all say your popula

charlie: i am for this today and tomorrow i am against it. there is no one waking up in the morning saying "what , world are we living in and what are the big trends in the world? hideaway align my citizens with these trends and take advantage of them?" you have the sense of something utterly scattershot. this is happening without a crisis. we have not had a crisis yet. all the crises have been self-induced by trump. imagine what happens when we have a real crisis. charlie: like what? tom: that we feel we have to take military action against north korea, intervene in the middle east. god forbid -- charlie: somebody attack somebody and under nato we have to come to action. tom: or uneconomic prices. a friend of mine said there is two kind of authority, moral authority and formal authority. the president has formal authority, because he is president. but he has no moral authority. he has lost the moral authority of most of the people around him, except general mattis. when the white house press secretary has to lecture journalists saying, you w

sanders: i am not going to get ahead of the audit. once we have that, we will make a determination. >> the president declared a national health emergency. that declaration did not come with a request for money from congress. how much does the president want congress to put toward this crisis, and when will he put in a formal request for the money? sec. sanders: there was $45 million originally in the health care plan that the president supported that no democrat in the country supported. ideally it would have been done through that, but since it wasn't we're hoping congress , will come together and it will be bipartisan support to put behind the opioid crisis and join the president in dealing with this effort. >> based on your answer just now, $45 billion is what you would like to see as an initial approach to the opioid crisis and done during the budget deal. sec. sanders: i am not going to negotiate with you from the podium, but that was the number we outlined in the health care bill. there has been $1 billion spent to date. we do f

i am not a republican or democrat. i am a christian. i am 63 years old. i just wish people could know what it was like when i was growing up as a child and what patriotism was and what religion wasand how the flag allowed to touch the ground. we were raised in sunday school and church. god has been put on a shelf. go away, god. my son is a schoolteacher. i helped him decorate his third grade room. i made a wreath that said, "joy to the world." he said if you put that on the wall, i will be fired. what so proud to hear donald trump was saying. we can say merry christmas and we can bring god back to this country. nancy pelosi and chuck schumer stand and watch trump try so hard. at least he is trying to bring some morals back in this country. that is what is wrong with this country. no morals. anything goes. i am ashamed and i pray for god's mercy on us. thank you. trump certainly, donald enjoys talking about merry christmas. he got significant flaws yesterday telling the crowd he was going to be saying merry christmas on behalf of the government -- he got s
