it ended after mccarthy ran. if the first presidential candidate didn't run until 1972, with the war has ended seven years later in 1979? we don't know. they drove them out of the vietnamese army. they responded slowly to protests select years through the movement through win they were not able to achieve peace with honor in vietnam because the congressional support for the war kept dropping and that is a complaint about democracy. the piece movement forced them to turn against the war and the administration would have declared an inch of the war in 1975 if the peace movement have been forced them to. would he have been killed in 1976, 77, 78? how many more would have died? the millions of men and women who were active in the peace movement sav saved lives by forg the war to end sooner than if they hadn't taken to the streets and protest something none of them had ever done before for anything. martin luther king jr. saved lives by raising his singular voice against the war and bobby kennedy by adding his voice w

and then, but jean mccarthy did run. he made the bravest decision of any candidate in 1968, the decision that changed his party, changed the campaign, changed the antiwar movement into an important faction of the democratic party and changed the course of history. the most important thing mccarthy did in 1968 was save lives. we have no idea when the vietnam war would have ended if jean mccarthy hadn't made the ending of the war a presidential campaign issue in 1968 . the war ended seven years after mccarthy ran. it's the first antiwar presidential candidate did not run until 1972 with the war had ended seven years later? in 1979? we don't know. the peace movement one. the peace movement drove us forces out of vietnam, not the north the enemy's army. american politics responded slowly to protest. richard nixon and henry kissinger companion complain for the rest of their lives they were not able to achieve peace with honor in vietnam because congressional support for the war kept dropping. that is a complaint about democra

mccarthy: looks like the senate will vote around 2:30. from an estimate time, probably around 4:30 today we'll be able to vote. we'll have a short time period back and forth and have the vote. reporter: [inaudible] mr. mccarthy: no. we won't do it under suspension. but i'm sure they will have a very big vote. get the government open. and hopefully we learn a lesson from this. hopefully never comes back to holding the government hostage from the standpoint that you're harming the children, you're harming the military. and we can be able to do bigger things now. reporter: a roll call vote because members want to be on the record showing they're opening the government? chip as well? mr. mccarthy: i've had numerous members on the other side of the aisle that want to be on a record. they're on a record right now of numerous votes against chip and others. and they want to be able to vote to open the government. reporter: leader mcconnell opened a path to consider immigration legislation on the senate side. what's your intention in terms of the

and mccarthy has found unique ways to connect with the president. during a trip on air force one, trump and mccarthy bonded while eating starburst candies. mccarthy noticed that trump only ate the cherry and strawberry flavors. so mccarthy later told a staffer to put together a jar of the red and pink starbursts for trump. mccarthy put his name on the jar, which was delivered to the president. oh, trump just likes one color more than the other. same way he makes his immigration policy. ( cheers and applause ) raced to the punch line! here comes the punch line! ( piano riff ) the article is full of mccarthy's attempts to shamelessly ingratiate himself to the president, mccarthyisms as they're called. but the most disturbing detail is what mccarthy says they have in common: "they both like to talk a lot while watching movies." ( laughter ) i thought it was impossible to like him less. ( laughter ) i wonder if he speaks during porn. we now know he might watch it because according to a juicy report this weekend, donald trump paid a porn star $130,000 to

mccarthy: mr. speaker, i yield myself four minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. mccarthy: mr. speaker, for three days the nation has watched as tens of thousands of federal employees were forced to stay home. as our men and women in uniform went without pay, as opioid treatment centers got cut off, and as parents faced the harrowing prospect that their children would lose their health insurance. the american people never wanted this to happen. republicans in the congress did not want this to happen and we did everything in our power to make sure this didn't happen. the house passed a clean bill, a bipartisan majority in the senate voted to pass that clean bill, but senate democrats shut it down. we were told it was about immigration, but republicans always said that we would sit at the table. we already were at the table every single day before this shutdown. negotiating in good faith. despite this political drama -- mr. hoyer: mr. speaker, the house is not in order. i

i'll be joined by andrew mccarthy to discuss both russia probes. first, the biggest stories of the week from the congress, white house, and pentagon with francesca chambers, heather cable, and courtney kube, the pentagon and national security for nbc news. let me begin with you, courtney. in the volcano explosion of news around the president's comments about various places around the globe, you have been covering north korea. fill us in. >> we saw for the first time in years north korea and south korea down along the dmz and they had a discussion. it was supposed to center primarily around the olympics. it started a week ago when kim jong-un gave his new year's day speech and made an overture to the south and said he was interested in talking to them about sending a delegation to the olympics. so far only two north korean athletes have qualified to go, some figure skaters. but south korea septd almost immediately the next day. they got into negotiations how they were going to do it. they set the date for january 9th. and discussions occurred. they

talk about the role kevin mccarthy plays in all of that. >> kevin mccarthy even though he didn't secure the support to become speaker when paul ryan eventually did he is very plugged in to his caucus. he is very plugged in with his members. they have.e concerns he is seeing all of the polling data from the rnc from the house congressional operation. he can play that role for trump. dialed uspresident back or do more of this. interesting reporting over the views mccarthymp emerging as his fixer. especially in the house. an interesting role for mccarthy. i certainly didn't expect it. we will see how long he stays in trump's orbit. go in and outly rapidly. i think that's the role he can play going into the midterms is to let the president know what they're are worried about, what they are feeling, what their own polling data might be saying and byn can the president help maybe not jumping on air force one to go give a speech somewhere. host: talk about the influence. >> kevin mccarthy is well respected and well liked and i think that he is an ideal person to be the liaison between the pres

there's a full bowl. >> is our bowl bigger than kevin mccarthy's? >> and it works. >> you can wash it down with diet coke. >> that sounds so good for you. >> seriously, he and kevin mccarthy do seem to have struck up a nice friendship. whether this was the origin of it, the starbursts, they are listening to each other and defending -- >> this is high-level politics. >> yes. they're waiting right here. >> so delicious. >> thank you, gentleman. >> they say nobody gets along in government. this is all you need. just some empty calories. >> be sure to watch tonight we'll do our prime time show about what the state of play is. we have chris collins coming in. the first guy in congress to back him as president. what does he think is going to happen. >>> now to this shocking story. 13 brothers and sisters held captive in their own home. some of them bound with padlocks and chains. the two suspects, the parents, are now in police custody. we have all the details ahead. >> announcer: closed captioning brought to you by -- >>> california couple is under arres

kevin mccarthy relishes role as trump fixer friend and candy man. camp david last weekend, mccarthy took up the task of explaining the obstacles facing republicans ahead of the elections. trump appreciated mccarthy's use of pictures and charts [ audience reacts ] er than a memo. it was a basic and foundational presentation that explained midterm politics to trump in the words of one senior official. white house official said trump may not have listened to others as well as he listened to mccarthy. you're diplomatic and you have great relationships with this white house. what i took away from this was mccarthy was a guy that dumbed down basically, we're bleepd, mr. president. >> if you look at the story, it's in part a portrait of a friendship, a political alliance, but it is also a case study in how republicans on capitol hill have reconciled with president trump, someone that mccarthy on recordings is heard saying years ago that maybe vladimir putin, the russian president, has him on some kind of pay list. this is something the washington post repo

reporter: leader mccarthy said that bob goodlatte thought the immigration bill is a good bill. the speaker: it is a good bill. we're working on that. i think it's a good bill and start putting ideas on the table. you know from the meeting i just referenced at the white house, the agreement was that the four leaders would begin negotiations to come up with a daca solution. when people bring ideas to the table, that's constructive. that's what goodlatte is doing here along with mccaul. leader mccarthy and the other three leaders are in those negotiations and that's constructive and what we should be doing and i'm confident we will get a solution before too long. reporter: just to follow up on that, you said on the daca, you said earlier you expect it to be bipartisan. the demrat bill you believe is a good bill but democrats do not. the speaker: i don't know if all democrats are opposed to that. but shouldn't we be offering solutions? the goodlatte bill brings peace of mind to the daca kids and shows what the security piece looks like and that is constructive. the demrat bill does

mccarthy: i thank the gentleman for yielding. the negotiations have been progressing further as they have been for the last month or so. i believe, as we both know, the need of this funding for our military. i believe that military should not be held hoss taj for any other issues. so i believe we can get to a solution here. i'm hopeful that those are -- who have been negotiating can find common ground in the next day or two so we can move forward. mr. hoyer: i thank the leader. nobody has any intention of course to hold the military hostage. the gentleman, the military, secretary mattis and his predecessors have all believed a c.r. is damaging to the military's ability to move forward and plan. i would suggest to my friend the majority leader, mr. speaker, that it is equally damaging to the nondefense side of the budget. administrators, secretaries, cannot plan for what resources they will have a month out two months out, or until september 3 of the end of the fiscal year. so that reaching agreement is important on both sides of

thank you for grabbing leader mccarthy. have fun. >>> and president trump is muddying the waters again on a path to citizenship for dreamers. yesterday when he walked in on a group of reporters meeting with the white house chief of staff, he told them he was all for it. >> do you want citizenship for dreamers? >> we're going to morph into it. it's going to happen. >> what does that mean? morph into it? what does that mean? >> over a period of 10 to 12 years, somebody does a great job, they've worked hard. it gives incentive to do a great job. >> but is he? he's been anything but clear, even in his white house -- even as his white house tries to keep him in line, ie, hard line. this is donald trump right now going to a dinner in davos, by the way. his positions, though, on dreamers, being the back and forth are making it hard for senators to try a solution before they have to vote again on february 8th. let's bring in jake cherman, senior writer at politico. and contributor leanne caldwell. i hope you were listening. i want

bob costa and josh dawsy writes "mccarthy's overture underscores mccarthy's role as trump's friend and fixer. it has led to eye rolling among democrats and skeptical republicans." mccarthy said he made sure his name was on the candy jar noting the president appreciates small gestures and remembers everything. what i will say is he got the flavors right. the red is the best. >> he did but the idea of having staff members separate a bulk of star bursts on the desk of the congressman's office -- >>> and we go inside the tense meeting about immigration inside the white house. >>> plus, how loyal is steve bannon feeling to the president? the former chief white house strategist set to appear before the house intelligence committee today. we'll set the stage for that meeting. >>> and pulitzer prize winning journalist david cay johnson says the trump administration's effect on america is worse than you think. he joins us ahead to explain that.

now, leader mccarthy made another point. if immigration and the way that many of the democrats look at it, amnesty, is the most serious function and the reason why they're shutting this down, then they have just stopped the negotiations. we were making very good progression on a number of fronts, still major differences, but if they want to get to a de deal, they need to open back up the government. neil: and horrible things about you, by the way. i'm kidding. >> i don't think bad things about you, neil, and good to be with you. neil: thank you, sir, very, very much for taking time on a crazy day. this is the one-year anniversary of donald trump's inauguration as president of the united states. some of the same groups that were protesting on that day are back for a return engagement. maybe not in the same numbers, but figure numbers expected in this city and in cities across the country. carolyn shively is joining us to talk about that. a lot of people, right? >> thank you, keep marching. >> hi there, neil, this is one of ab

can see kevin mccarthy there trying to set the president right and help him out. we want daca, border security, we want to get rid of chain migration and on and on. the president is sitting there nodding. i think what we saw today was much more about pictures than words, because they wanted to sort of counter the narrative of the president's empty schedule which was written about. they want to counter the michael wolff narrative. they wanted to show him as somebody in charge. the president wanted to show himself as somebody in charge. and what we saw there was a president who wasn't the master negotiator but who came out and said, look, guys whatever you give me, i'm willing to sign it. and it was quite different from somebody who says this has to be in the bill, this doesn't have to be in the bill. and i spoke with a senior white house advisor late this afternoon whose phone was blowing up by conservatives who were believing that the president had kind of sold them out on these key issues. >> another fascinating moment gloria alluded to when he said, look, anythi

mccarthy just a few hours ago sent out a message to his members that they could believe we made a motion to adjourn, which we knew we would vote against, because we knew we needed to be here and do the people's business. republican friends did not make the motion to adjourn, so we made it indicating clearly that we wanted to be here and get the work done. we have kicked the can down the road once. every democrat voted to do that. every democrat voted to give 90 days so that we could reach agreement. that 90 days was squandered. congress and the house voted to kick the can down the road twice more. was squandered. it is time to stop squandering the opportunity to come together and agree. democrats have always mr. hoyer: we want to enact bipartisan agreement on things that we already agree on. let me repeat that. whicht to agree to that we have already agreed upon democrats and republicans. agree on anlly andl increase on defense nondefense discretionary spending. that is the deal that paul ryan made. that is the deal we have followed for the last four years. that is all leader pelosi has

mccarthy a few hours ago sent a message to his members that they could leave. we made a motion to adjourn because we knew we needed to be here and do the people's business. and our republican friends did not make the motion to adjourn, so we made it. we wereng clearly that opposed because we wanted to be here and get the work done. we have kicked the can down the road once. .very democrat voted to do that every democrat voted to give 90 days so we could reach an agreement. those 90 days were squandered. than the house and congress voted to kick the can down the road twice more. and that time was squandered. it is time to talk squandering the opportunity to come together and agree. democrats have always opposed shutting down the government of the united states. we want to an active bipartisan agreement on things that we already agree on. let me repeat that. we want to agree on that which which -- which we have already agreed upon. we have historically agreed on parity. in other words, equal increase in defense and an equal increase on discretionary spending. tha

roy kohn started out as joe mccarthy's lawyer. kohn said what he believed brought mccarthy down. where the army said, have you no decency. but that the public got tired of the show, they needed something new, they felt he had worn out his welcome. if you rise on being outrage ous. you may in fact fall. >> steve kornacki, what is your take on that. are we going to get tired of the donald trump reality show? >> we might. but we were wondering in 2015. i can think back to the early days of his campaign, when he called -- he said john mccain wasn't a war hero. that was the first time he really seemed to step in it, that's it, he crossed the line now, he's a comic book figure and that's it about and it just continued. all those analogies we drew in the early days, we were comparing him back to herman cain in 2012. herman cain lasted a few weeks, then he lasted longer than a few weeks. giuliani lasted a year and then collapsed as the primaries started. primaries started and he's still wing. he's the guy that can win the primaries, not the general. i don't know. i almost think the legac

this was the great red scare, the mccarthy period, the government was saying there was this international communist conspiracy that was out to destroy our way of life. fear makes powerful people do very dangerous things. the trial at which they were convicted was a travesty. we now know that the judge secretly communicated with the prosecution, that evidence was fabricated, and the chief prosecution witnesses perjured themselves. the government of the united states used the death penalty not as punishment but as extortion. the purpose, as one of the fbi agents said, "we didn't want them to die, we wanted them to talk". there was a worldwide movement and a mass movement even within the united states at the height of the mccarthy period to save the lives of my parents. they were executed on june 19th, a month after my sixth birthday. my brother hung his head. i came in and i knew something was wrong, but i didn't want to hear about it. even a month after the execution i'd say, "when are we going to see mommy and daddy?", and he would have to remind me that they were dead. my parents should

so last night, with house majority leader kevin mccarthy standing uncomfortably at his side, trump doubled down and made what might be the most patently untrue statement of this presidency so far. >> did you see what the other senators in the room said about my comments? they weren't made. >> are you a racist? >> no. i'm not a racist. i am the least racist person you have ever interviewed. that i can tell you. >> jimmy: well, there's no better way to convince people you are not a racist than repeatedly saying i am the least

we will talk to john rogers and then house majority leader kevin mccarthy will update us on the progress of a spending bill to avert a government shutdown. >>> and we'll talk stocks by katie stockton back by popular demand she's been so right about this bull market. you're watching "squawk box" on cnbc tomorrow, it's a day filled with promise and new beginnings, challenges and opportunities. at ameriprise financial, we can't predict what tomorrow will bring. but our comprehensive approach to financial planning can help make sure you're prepared for what's expected and even what's not. and that kind of financial confidence can help you sleep better at night. with the right financial advisor, life can be brilliant.

he started out as joe mccarthy's lawyers. cohn said what he believed ultimately brought mccarthy down was not the noble moment in the hearings where the council for the army said have you no decency as dramatic as that is. but simply the public got tired of the show. he had worn out his welcome. and i think that if you rise on being outrageous you may in fact fall by the same force. >> steve, what's your take on that? are we going to get tired of the donald trump reality show. >> in theory we might. but we were wondering in 2015. conventional wisdom had it i can think back to the early days of the campaign in fall of 2015 when he called -- he said john mccain wasn't a war hero. that was the first time he seemed to step in it. we said that's it. >> he is done. >> he is a comic book figure and that's it. and it just continued. all the analogies we drew in the early days we compared him to hermann cane in 2012. that was the analogy. he lasted a longer than a few weeks np giuliani lasted a year and he clamsed as primary started.

we have done our job, says leader mccarthy. it is up to senator schumer to decide if he wants a shutdown. meanwhile, just out from the majority whip's office, steve scalise's office, sending out a reminder to members. our vote has concluded, the house has completed their legislative work for the week. members are advised to remain flexible as as additional procedural votes are possible. >> we will take you to the annual march on washington happening today. the house has passed the bill dealing with abortion. that passed a short while ago. we will stay here live as members, some of them, may be departing shortly. >> come on over. we'll get out of the way of the media. >>> here on c-span3 we are live outside the u.s. capitol, specifically outside of the u.s. house. the house is still in session. yesterday, they voted 230-197 to approve the short-term continuing resolution, which would fund the federal government after midnight tonight through february the 16th. it would extend the children's health insurance program and postpone

patron joe mccarthy. so he would lie, cheat, trim the edges of the law on behalf of joseph mccarthy, senator mccarthy from wisconsin him but michael schmidt, i would like to ask you with regard to this brilliant piece of reporting in the "new york times," two questions, if you could explain to us the july plane trip where the president is returning from europe, the role of mark sxar ollo. if you could explain to the viewers who mark carollo is. then a back-up question, did we know, did you know, reens priebus the then chief of staff took apparently copious notes that apparently robert mueller has? >> so on the second one, what happened is last year the produces produced a bunch of do you means to mueller. this was e-mails, mem morks handwritten notes. in them were handwritten notes from reince priebus. one was a conversation he had with the president on april 11th. the thing that makes this significant is priebus' notes about his conversations with trump back up comey's memos. comey's memo, he describes a

speaker ryan, mccarthy, lise, and mulvaney. went and was time to open i it up, ryan, scalise and mulvaney all voted to keep government shutdown. we believe in governance. democrats are not about shutting down the government. in any event, i'm hopeful that the overtures that are being made by the other side, on the other side will lead to something that is very positive. we had a very positive caucus this morning. members following up on acting upon their valleys and determined to stay to get the job done. a champion in rallying those forces of the distinguished majority whip, for the moment. steny hoyer. rep. hoyer: whatever im at any given moment, i am pleased to be here. republicans control all the leverage of government. they control the house, they control the senate, they control the white house , they control the supreme court. it would have required sitting down and talking to one another and saying, how can we agree? not how can we disagree, but how can we agree? leader mccarthy just a few hours ago sent out a message t

we had kevin mccarthy the majority leader of the house, dick durbin the minority whip and john cornyn of the senate in negotiations, they try to bring some end run around that it the president doesn't support that we wouldn't support. we will support a bill that the president supports to fix this problem and that means fixing that problem more comprehensively so we don't have another daca problem five, ten years down the road. >> dickerson: a final political question, 2018 there are some retirements, threw go -- are you going to be speaker if you have majority in the next congress? >> this we keep the majority republican speaker you're asking me if i'm going to run for re-election. that is a decision my wife and i make when we are in wisconsin. i'm not going to share my thinking with you before i talk to my wife. >> dickerson: it's my last show. >> i have no plans ongoing anywhere. that's something that my wife and i always decide in late spring of the election. >> dickerson: what are you -- i'd like to get back to work make sure that we don't defund chip and stop funding our troops.

mccarthy: mr. speaker, i yield one minute to the speaker of the house, paul ryan. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from wisconsin is recognized. the speaker: thank you. i ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks and address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. the speaker: i thank the gentleman for yielding. my colleagues, i want to say a few words about the last couple of days. i know there's great relief that this episode is coming to an end. this shutdown did not need to happen. however brief, it inflicted needless costs on the country. there are no winners here today. i want to make that clear. no winners except perhaps the millions of families who depend on the children's health insurance program. soon the longest re-authorization in the program's history is about to become law. but this is not a moment to pat ourselves on the back. not even close. we very much need to heed the lessons what have just happened here. we need to move forward in good faith. yes. on daca and immigration. yes, on funding

take this true story about republican majority leader kevin mccarthy, a key figure in the immigration talks. mccarthy and trump were on air force one recently when the president reached for a handful of starbursts. but instead of unwrapping all the treats the president was careful to pluck out and eat two flavors cherry and strawberry. mccarthy said, "we're there having a little dessert and he offers me some, just the red and the pink. a bit later a couple of his aides saw me with those colors and told me those are the president's favorites. days later mccarthy bought a plentiful supply of starbursts and asked his staffers to sort through the pile placing only those two flavors in a jar. mccarthy made sure his name was on the side of the gift which was delivered to a grinning trump." [ light laughter ] man, i'll bet putin is so pissed. he spent millions of dollars and years of effort hacking into our election when he could have just stopped off at cvs and won trump over for $2.99.

when i asked kevin mccarthy whether or not these tweets had complicated things, mccarthy said remember, there were two tweets, seeming to suggest the second tweet probably helped on the republican side. the question, though, is on the democratic side, there is significant democratic opposition to the bill as well and earlier, brianna, house minority leader nancy pelosi and adam schiff the top democrat on the house intelligence committee, said this bill should be pulled from the floor, sent back to the committee, dealing with some of the privacy concerns even though they both support the bill schiff saying he supports the bill but the tweets this morning put a cloud over this bill and they say it makes sense to wait a little longer but, of course, the expiration date is coming up soon. they need to move expeditiously and hoping the republican leaders are they can get the vote off the house floor to the senate but the president making things a little more tricky here in the final hours. brianna in. >> and should be starting soon, right? >> should be starting soon. first the amendment tha

this was the great red scare, the mccarthy period. the government was saying there was this international communist conspiracy that was out to destroy our way of life. fear makes powerful people do very dangerous things. the trial at which they were convicted was a travesty. we now know that the judge had communicated with the prosecution and that evidence was fabricated and the chief prosecution witnesses perjured themselves. the government of the united states used the death penalty not as punishment but as extortion. the purpose, as one of the fbi agents said, "we didn't want them to die, we wanted them to talk". there was a worldwide movement and a mass movement even within the united states at the height of the mccarthy period to save the lives of my parents. they were executed on june 19th, a month after my sixth birthday. my brother hung his head. i came in and i knew something was wrong, but i didn't want to hear about it. even a month after the execution, i'd say, "when are we going to see mummy and daddy?", and he would have

mccarthy, scalise, mrs. mcmorris rodgers and mick mulvaney. and when it was time to open it up, ryan, scalise and mulvaney oted to keep government shut down. democrats are not about shutting down the government. don't hand us that. i hope the overtures that are being made on the other side will lead to something very positive. we had a very positive caucus this morning and again following up on acting upon their values are determined to stay to get the job done, a champion rallying those forces is our distinguished majority whip for the moment -- steny hoyer. mr. hoyer: whatever i am, i'm pleased to be here. all of you know, republicans control all the levers of government. they control the house, they control the senate, the white house and as dick durbin said this morning, they control the supreme court. notwithstanding that, we are now some 140 days into the fiscal year and we have not sent a single appropriation bill to the president of the united states. why have we not done that? because it would have required compromise. it would have r

mccarthy, that there were a number of items that they wanted to discuss. obviously when you have a negotiation, each party, each side has items that they want to discuss and obviously that's going to be appropriate. so we'll do that, but we had a meeting yesterday with mr. mccarthy, senator durbin, senator cornyn and myself to try to get the process which we could discuss the issues that both sides want to discuss. we believe central to any action that we take is the protection of the d.r.e.a.m.ers, making sure that they stay here in this country, the only country that they really know, and a policy that is supported by the overwhelming majority of the american public and i would suggest apparently supported -- he was articulating his support of that with dianne feinstein. senator grassley said the same thing. at the end of the meeting the president said, is there anybody here in the room -- and there were 24 members, 17 senators, 7 house members. is there anybody in this room who disagrees with protecting the d.r.e.a.m.ers? he said daca, but the d.r.e.a.m
