>> oh, yeah. >> reporter: journalist david graham chronicles worsley's expedition in his new book, the white darkness. >> he arrived by the wettle sea which is part of the atlantic ocean. pole. trekked 570 nautical >> reporter: wrosley's inspiration was another british adventurer honored on the walls of the explorer's club in new york. >> and this is shackle ton who henry worsley revered so much. >> reporter: he led three expeditions to antarctica in the early 1900s. worsley, a descend ant of one of his crew, became obsessed with his adventures. >> i believe strongly, marriage not stopping individual dreams. >> reporter: henry's wife joanna and their children max and alicia would write messages on his skis before his trips. >> max encouraged him, as you can see >> reporter: push it, fat ass. >> that was mine. come back to me safely, my darling. i didn't worry about him ever. >> reporter: why not? >> he was just invincible, henry. >> reporter: a retired officer of the elite british commando unit, the s.a.s., worsley made his first trip to the antarctica in 2008 as part of a three-man te

rand paul people from within his own party yeah it's pretty astonishing but what we're seeing here is essentially a battle between two co-equal branches of government me and i did states and ultimately it is the u.s. congress that wields more power particularly in the u.s. senate when it comes to this it can act independently of the white house and it appears that's what it's doing pressing forward as roslyn jordan reported there with two different legislative efforts we know that one particularly in the senate will be taken up likely next week and this would be an effort to limit the united states is not only contribution when it comes to the saudi led conflict in yemen in terms of refueling which has.

so what about the lindsay grahams of the world say? >> reporter: yeah. the way you read that i think is correct in that the president seems to be forfeiting any opportunity to hold vladimir putin's feet to the fire although it's not clear he would do that given the opportunity given did cozy performance when he was standing alongside the russian president back in helsinki. it would appear to many that the administration is trying to cover up for the fact that as we now know the trump organization had deep business ties to russia, well into president trump's run for president, and that that deal remained active even as the russians were trying to make inroads into the campaign. now, the court documents, the michael cohen plea agreement, does not speak to collusion but as you well know it lays out the conduit. it lays out the levers that the russian officials could push to get whatever they wanted from the trump campaign and why the abrupt cancelation, the president says i need to read the report of what happened with the seizure by the russians of the ukr

yeah it's pretty astonishing but what we're seeing here is essentially a battle between two co-equal branches of government in the united states and ultimately it is the u.s. congress that wields more power particularly in the u.s. senate when it comes to this it can act independently of the white house and it appears that's what it's doing pressing forward as roslyn jordan reported there with two different legislative efforts we know that one particularly in the senate will be taken up likely next week and this would be an effort to limit the united states is not only contribution when it comes to the saudi led conflict in yemen in terms of refueling which has we should point out been put on pause but also in terms of future weapons cells particularly for offensives because there has been grave concern in the u.s. congress over the fact that the united nations is called the conflict in yemen a humanitarian disaster the high number of civilian casualties which many in the united states senate and house of representatives believe the saudis are not doing enough to limit so it appears

yeah you know what there's no question lindsey graham as a republican senator has been very strident very critical of mohammed bin salma but these comments by the senior senator seem to go even further and we know that the president listens to lindsey graham he was in fact meeting with lindsey graham at the white house wasn't even on the schedule the official white house schedule but we spotted him reporters spotted him going into the white house late last week so we know these consultations are ongoing that he has the ear of the president so that's why the comments by lindsey graham matter so much not only has he called the crown prince unstable and unreliable but he says he doesn't see the situation being fixed as long as he's around calling the leadership of saudi arabia under mohammed bin solomon as being a disaster and someone who's very difficult to do business with so these just add to these comments just add to the pressure of the trumpet ministration is under even as it is dragging its heels in terms of the response we have of course seen under the secretary of state mike pu

we're gonna use graham-cracker dust. -lemonis: can we cut this? -alexa: yeah, let's get in. steven: so i always line up the edges and i pretty much, like, bench-press motion down on there and go very slowly. make sure you're cutting through the nuts on the other side of the marshmallows. lemonis: but this is kind of a ridiculously slow process. as production cranked up, you would have a bottleneck right here. -alexa: yes. -lemonis: now there's a machine that you can buy that will do it? alexa: 60 seconds. lemonis: how much does the machine cost? alexa: it would be right around $40,000 lemonis: currently, it takes them 20 minutes to do a whole sheet of marshmallows, so in a given typical workday, they couldn't produce more than 24 sheets. with this new machinery, they could do one sheet a minute. in a matter of an hour, they could almost triple the whole day's production. lemonis: and what does it cost to make a sheet like that? alexa: $80. lemonis: well, how many does that sheet break down into? alexa: roughly 70 bags. sam: it comes to, on average, $1.43 a bag, including pac

. >> yeah, and you have republican senator lindsey graham. he said, he just met with acting attorney general mathew whitaker in his office to talk about the mueller investigation. but betsy, how confident are folks on the hill that whitaker is not going to impede that investigation beyond what we just heard from lindsey graham? >> well, democrats, of course, are deeply distressed about the fact that whitaker now essentially has veto power over the work that mueller is doing. and as a result, a number of senate democrats are considering whether or not they should file lawsui lawsuits, arguing that whitaker's appointment as acting attorney general broke the law or violated their right as the senate to give advice and consent -- >> is that just talk or is that something that could really happen, betsy? >> yes. my understanding from talking with folks over the weekend is that there are very much active conversations about such litigation coming. and additionally, of course, the state of maryland already sued, charging that the president broke the

yeah, but we expect it of trey. lindsey comes out of left field. as for leveraging the troops, look, i leverage me. when i talk about i'm a veteran, and that doesn't give me any special right. i don't believe the whole chicken hawk -- if you weren't in the army, you don't get to talk about it. you get to talk about anything you want to talk about. you're an american citizen. you might not have the technical expertise. i went to the war college, i know some stuff. and you can evaluate that. i believe he knows some stuff, i will rely on it. or that sounds stupid. nobody can tell you what you can and can't. i try not to talk about troops because i think that's disrespectful to them. i think i know where they stand, and i can give you my idea of where they may stand, but i don't want to try and enlist them, so to speak, behind me. you know? i think that's -- when i was a leader, you know, i tried to help my guys, i tried to be last guy to eat. i tried to be the first guy to do his physical fitness guy, which is really hard when you're old. it's almost

you've got to a few things and there in terms of the last hour, but yeah, obviously, a little bit of a talk with the referee on field and stuff, but yeah, it's something i've done plenty of times in my career, so nothing that's going to faze me. the only other change is the inclusion of castleford's adam milner, winning only his second camp, but looking forward to it. absolutely buzzing. i've got a taste against france a few weeks ago, but this is a com pletely few weeks ago, but this is a completely different challenge, another level, and watching the game last week, watching how the boys wa nt to last week, watching how the boys want to be a part of it now, so they are looking forward to it. a win for england on sunday would seal the but after that first test defeat asked week the expectation is that new zealand will come back much stronger. also making headlines today: british heavyweights dillian whyte and dereck chisora are set for another encounter at london's o2 arena next month, two years after their first brutal meeting, which whyte narrowly won on points. since then, whyte'

. >> yeah. there certainly are republicans who are supporting it, but there jeff flake. lindsey graham, south carolina, actually co sponsored this bill, as did thom tillis, and neither joined jeff flake and chris coons on the floor to demand a vote. and chuck grassley himself voted for this bill in the committee, but he did not join them on the floor here. the question, wolf, is whether or not the democrats and flake and some of these republicans will succeed in adding this to a must-pass spending bill that must pass by december 7th to avoid a government shutdown. how far are they willing to take it? house democrats want to push this very hard. some senate democrats uncertain about how hard they want to push it, but this fight is not ending. it's bound to intensify in the days ahead, wolf. >> i suspect it will. manu, thanks very much. manu raju up on capitol hill. also breaking this hour, very important hearing in cnn's lawsuit against president trump over the decision to suspend the press pass of our chief white house correspondent, jim acosta. let's go to our brian ste

>> yeah, i think it does. specifically because there have been some people like jeff flake, like lindsey graham, who have said it should be protected. mitch mcconnell is going to be the final word on this. he's in charge of the senate and everything that goes to the floor. if he doesn't want it, it's probably not going to happen. >> okay. in that same -- go ahead, ron. >> what's striking, if you look at the exit polls from the election, there's really not evidence that the underlying question of the russia investigation hurt republicans very much. what hurt them and what clearly was a huge force in the house was reflected in what mitch mcconnell is doing which is the sense they would not, in any way, impose constraints or oversight on the president. in many ways, he's feeding into that narrative. >> in that same interview on fox, the president talked about a lot of things, including the midterm results. he continued to down play the lopsided losses for republicans in the house and even said -- even though prio

yeah we're watching it very carefully and i think that the comments by lindsey graham the fact that he was apt the white house spotted by reporters we don't know who he was meeting with but certainly he was spotted going to the west wing late last week even though it wasn't on the president's official schedule shows some of the pressure that this is ministration is under from members of congress including lindsey graham his comments he's always been very strident in terms of his displeasure to say the least over the killing of john pointing the finger at the highest levels of the royal family but these comments seem to go one step further in fact well there isn't a plan of action yet we know that graham is supportive of the move in by some democratic lawmakers to potentially even see a vote by the end of the year at least restraining the u.s. involvement in the saddle the coalition's efforts in yemen which of course we should point out the united nations has called a humanitarian disaster so there's a lot of pressure on this administration now potentially we are also seeing action comi

yeah, yeah. and i am a germ-a-phob. i should not be okay with this. before my breakup, "hey, graham, how much for complete strangers to come into your home and then have sex on your mattress? how much for that service?" i would be like, "oh, that's disgusting. like the price of 100 mattresses." and now after my breakup, i'm like "$42." ( laughter ) $40! $39! please! so what i do when i wake up in my own bed, and i know i'm going to have a guest that night-- they're my guest-- what i do is i-- i flip the mattress to the sex side-- ( laughter ) yes, yes, the dirty little shute sex side. and when it's my turn i flip it back to the cry side. that's my side. sex side-cry side system. thank you. very smart. ooum a scientist, very bright young man. i don't want you to think i'm some sort of a loser, you know. i'm doing better in my career. i decided to treat myself. i'm like maybe i'll buy my first-ever tailored suit. i tried to buy one. it did not work out. i did not know this but if you are a man the tailor will ask you when whichway do you lie? which way

. >> graham has been explicit, not even a walk back but a sprint marathon back if he were like yeah, yeah, i'm into it now. as his role as head of the jooshry committee, that could be significant here. you know the doj here. what do you make of where the mueller investigation goes next and of whittaker coming in? >> having seen democratic house elected just the other day, we basically teed up the first investigation of the democrats. and the president handed it to them. all these questions about the appointment of whittaker, all these questions about the funding, the budget and how the investigation is going to be handled, they should start issuing subpoenas from the day they get there, because there's a lot of questions about the independence of the department and the independence of this investigation. it doesn't look good. it's sort of a dark cloud over the department and over this investigation. and i think you're going to really see, as garrett had said, right out of the gate, as they issued the preservation order already. >> the other part you have on this, democrats are saying

hugely unpopular when that happens it tends to have consequences no politician really wants to say yeah i shut down the government especially because i would want the cia director testify again lindsey graham is just one vote but he has basically if you want to call it that he's using the nuclear option to try and force the trump of the assertions hand so if other senators follow through that is huge but the fact that he said in the message that he will not be deterred again a pretty big development makes it much more likely that the white house will not be able to get away from heidi the cia director from the senate patty i'm glad i've got you holding my hand through all of this explaining how the senate works and how all these might play out in the next few hours thank you for all of that. so let's get some analysis on the street a policy joining us president of the national iranian american council he's on skype from reston virginia your overall opinion of what you've heard from the senators bearing in mind as patty said these are the ones who want to have their voice heard the outsp

but you are so hacked off about the kavanaugh thing. >> yeah. i just said enough is enough. i voted for both of their nominees, sotomayor and kagan. all of these democrats voted against kavanaugh. voted against the tax cuts and it's pretty clear to me that they are not going to return the way i do business now time to clean house and put people in senate that can help trump change america and put conservative judges on the court, cut your taxes and win a war we can't afford to lose. they brought out a different side of lindsey graham and i hope all these candidates that vote against kavanaugh, hope they lose why did you choose to campaign in south dakota. >> because that's where the vice president is going and i don't have my own plane. ainsley: what are the issues in those states? for the voters on the fence what's the message to the voters in those states. >> matt rosendale will be a reliable supporter of president trump. trump won montana by 20 points. tester voted against kavanaugh, gorsuch, the tax cuts. he is for obamacare. is he out of touch with montana he is trying

. >> yeah. >> all right, we'll sort out all of those numbers. but in the meantime, republican senator lindsey graham is in clemson, south carolina, and the senator joins us this evening. senate, good to see you. thank you so much for joining us. >> that's a big smile senator graham. >> thank you, i'm totally confused. i'm totally confused. are we winning or losing. >> we're going to fix that. have you spoken with president trump tonight. how is he feeling? >> i spoke to him this afternoon. i think he really helped us a lot in the senate. i think the most likely outcome here is that we're going to pick up three or four senate seats, hold the the majority in the senate. and that means the conservative judicial train keeps rung. >> senator, i first met you-- and i know you remember this, when i was a reporter on capitol hill, which you were a house impeachment manager, impeaching president bill clinton. >> and lost. >> do you expect the democrats if they take the house will begin impeachment proceedings, and what will they do? terms of investigatin

. >> senator graham, chuck odd i'm curious. >> hi chuck. >> you were the gang of eight back at a time, i believe you still are. n yeah. >> but i'm curio, on immigration reform, do you think that things ve gotten harder now to figure out this compromise on immigration? it looks to me that way when you see how polarized the puic seals to be on the issue. >> yeah. right. well, let me tell you, 77% of e blic believes the daca recipients should you know it was executive over-reach. but 70% of republicans believe e daca eligible recipient should be allowed to stay in the country because they have no place to go. 70% of the country wants better border security. that's a good place to start the one thing i can say, chuck, you are smart about this. we were dealt a goodteand in the se i think we played it well the democrats were dealt a hood hand in tse. it looks like they will win the wall for daca is a good place to start. to think we can't solve problems with the house and the senate is a mistake. >> do you think the president ended th >> i don't know. but i'll tell you this, the president w

>> yeah. that's pretty outrageous i mean, politicians who live from one provocative state to another -- no matter what the incident is they see their own destruction but there's nothing based in fact that they're dealing with. and to compare something like that, the systemic imprisonment and extermination of jews in excess of five to 6 million across europe is absolutely staggering to the immigration problem that we're having here at our border. it's nonsensical, and you know, politicians they can say what they want. the great thing about is american people can hold them account public. >> before you go real quick on upcoming spending bill that needs to be done, before december 7th your thoughts on the military spending and where we are with there. i think much of this as already been taken care of, yes. >> the first two installments from president trump fy18 and 19 exactly what we needed now director has told defense department that they're reduced by 5% that is absolutely the wrong way to go

he has a lot o the characteristics you just listed off. >> yeah. absolutely you know, again, like -- and i don't mean to be coy, but i think right now what we really need to focus on is that basic question, do we need to have an independent board chair. because as a structural matter, it really makes the most sense it's basic good governance >> if you don't get it, are you going to sell the stock? >> well, we'll have to see where we stand you know, it'll come up for a vote in may. there's a lot that can happen between now and then we are long-term investors three to five-year time horizon. we don't hinge anything on one specific fact. so we'll have to see where we stand. >> could you ever see what might be described as a travis kalanick uber situation at facebook that was the situation where you had a holder -- nobody thought he was going to be ousted. yet somehow the investors coalesced around him where it became untenable for him to remain in that role. >> well, i do think there's the hard power question and the soft power question the hard power
