john. >> john: john barrasso, a member of the senate foreign relations committee. let me play more of what president biden said in terms of what his goals are for his visit to saudi arabia. listen here. >> we made a mistake of walking away from our influence in the middle east. meeting with nine other heads of state. i want to make clear that we can continue to lead in the region and not create a vacuum. a vacuum not filled by china or russia. >> john: he said we made a mistake from walking away from the influence in the middle east. who walked away from the influence in the middle east. certainly not president trump, he was fully engaged in the middle east. >> it was joe biden, a weakened president going overseas representing the united states as commander in chief, but every headline soaring inflation, and last weekend, sinking poll numbers for the president. you want him to go over for position of strength but he brought this on himself. taken us from a country of energy dominance to energy dependence, so people know why he's really there, he's looking for oil t

john arthur hold their games but we come back with john with a match point. [applause] arthur ashe beats john alexander and four sets. he has done what he came to do. he's in the finals in a position to win his first major championship since winning force of the 1968. he'll face the winner of the bjorn borg match either of which is a formidable match. for our third simple there are no uncertain terms the 1975 the year of arthur ashe in the world of tennis and a place to start is in dallas. earlier in the week the world's first 24 karat solid gold tennis ball were $33,333 was presented to arthur by founder of the hager company. arthur's scoreboard points in a contest to win down to the final week of the season. arthur's consistency and beating out 83 other players for the top spot was an early indication that 1975 would be his ear. rudd labor in bjorn borg semi finals provides the dallas crowd with the most rest taking tennis since 72 which experts refer to as the greatest tennis match ever. bjorn is facing maybe the best player in the history of tennis. at 36

john. >> john: mike emmanuel, thank you. gillian. >> gillian: more on the issue at the supreme court, congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez among the democrats arrested moments ago outside, video she tweeted out of her arrest. congressional correspondent chad pergram joins us now, breaking details. hi, chad. >> good afternoon, gillian. it's routine sometimes members will go and protest something, go to the white house, a demonstration here on capitol hill, and it's usually kind of choreographed with the capitol police and this is what happened today between the capitol and the supreme court. you had a grand total of 34 persons arrested, 16 members of congress, among those that we know about so far are alexandria ocasio-cortez, of new york, jackie spear of california, and watson of new jersey, and ocasio-cortez is walking with the police officers with her hands behind her back but she is not handcuffed. she raises her fist in the air, kind of acknowledging some other demonstrators. trying to make a point about the supreme co

>> hey there, john. you know, attracting investors, growing interest in mobile home parks because the steady stream of returns they offer with the more than 22 million americans across the country that live on a mobile home park. at mobile home parks, residents own their home but rent the land they sit on. so far investors have purchased enough parks to contain 800,000 mobile homesites. after investors acquire the parks, they increase the rent for the lot on which the home sits, sometimes by the double digits. in minnesota, park purchases by out of state buyers grew 46% in 2015, to 81% last year, with rent increases as much as 30%. it can be hard or sometimes impossible for the residents to pay that increased rent. >> because you are renting the land, you are treated like a renter and some of the protections are weaker than for renters in multi-family buildings, and if you ratchet up the rents for people on fixed income, pretty soon they cannot afford the rents that you are charging. >> this is jeremy wa

and john faced down his fears. and both met with a lawyer who represented those imprisoned brothers. >> we met at a restaurant in gross pointe and talk to the lawyer. he didn't seem like he believed me too much. i said, you know what? give me a lie detector test. i'll take the test and then will go from there. if you don't believe me, let's do this right now. >> okay. >> so, a couple weeks later, we ended up taking a lie detector test. it was one of the toughest things i've had to do, when you're struck. >> that's where it isn't it? >> oh, i was just sweating buckets. >> and a police polygraph or detected john hielscher was being truthful. he passed with flying colors. and then, nothing. neither kevin nor john heard anything more from that lawyer. >> i just thought it got dropped. you know? wishing, oh, good it's not great comeback. that's it. >> and that would have been the end of it, most likely. had it not been for her. over on the other side of detroit, though john and kevin couldn't possibly know it, was a pri

john. >> john: trey, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: all right, john. well, some celebrities, a lot of them, actually, want to lecture you about saving the planet, but most of them don't have any problem flying private at every turn, even if it means they fire up the jet to fly 15 minutes away. kylie jenner g getting called o on social media for boasting about her private jet travels. christina coleman reporting live from los angeles. who else is getting called out? >> a lot of people, sandra. you know, some of these celebrities love to post on social media about saving the planet, reducing carbon emissions, recycling. but then they turn around and hop on private jets burning off thousands of gallons of fuel on some trips that would take just minutes by car. twitter account celebrity jet tracks some of the short flights and the celebs who own the jets on these flights. listen as director steven spielberg said he's terrified of global warning and jay-z, and keep in mind, climate activists know that global aviation emissions are disproportionately impacte

john sharp: in 1997, i privatized these airports, and-- john sharp: it's not john sharp asking the government to give us money. it'sbout the government looking at how to provide a servic-an essential service, in many cases-- to regional communities around australia via regional airlines. and that's what they're supporting, they're not supporting john sharp, they're supporting regional communities. michael brissenden: you will be aware of, obviously, the charges of cronyism, given that john sharp is the rex deputy chairman. he's also a former federal treasurer of the national party. what do you say to those people? michael mccormack: i don't think any inference can be drawn from that. michael brissenden: none at all? michael mccormack: no. michael brissenden: why not? i mean, people look at it and say there are connections, they're getting favorable treatment. do you reject that? michael mccormack: well, i get on well with paul scurrah, i get on well with alan joyce.

john: yeah. you had it in your lead-in, senator manchin and senator majority leader chuck schumer inc.ked a $740 billion agreement. it's not finalized. it's still being reviewed. there -- has to go through a technical review process and then the senate will take it up next week and start voting on portions of it. there will be amendments. there will be a real long process to -- going to take a couple of weeks to get ts through congress. maybe they finish it in the senate next week and maybe the week after and the house comes back. but this was a shocker. we didn't see it coming. manchin had walked away from some negotiations for the second time just recently. but he kept saying he -- you know, i'm still at the table and still at the table and he would walk by us in the capitol, ok, you're still at the table. but we didn't believe him. i talked to him from 20 minutes the other night. he just said you know, he really wanted to make a deal. he h always wanted to make a deal and he knew what everyone

john, great to be with you. >> john: good to be with you as well. we will get to congressman zeldin ahead, but first, big breaking news guaranteed to hit where it hurts. >> sandra: the federal reserve as expected and as the markets were priced in, raised the key r interest rate by 75 basis points, did not go the full percent, a slight chance that that could be the case. the dow is up about 75 points before this announcement happened just a few moments ago and the dow now up 100 points. a tiny build in the gains there, but in the green for most of the day. obviously big implications for the american economy, based on this decision and john, as we continue to point out, this is the federal reserve tasked with taming inflation that you can solidly make the case is the fault of the white house and those advising the president that have gotten this wrong, including the federal reserve itself, for in the beginning calling this transitory inflation that was certainly not the case, janet yellen has admitted she got that wrong. and now who has to pay the pri

john. >> john: it is, and the turn around by joe manchin was extraordinary, he said he was not going to vote for any new spending until he had a handle how it would affect inflation, he threw that out the window and threw in with chuck schumer and support the inflation reduction act the president is expousings, far from perfect, compromise, how progress is made, and significant legislation in history to attack the climate crisis. so it is interesting to see that the white house again going to that well that the way to deal with inflation in this country and high gas prices is by pushing a green agenda. >> sandra: and that's really the spending that got us into this mess in the beginning. one other thing, the quoting of larry summers, formerly a democratic administration, obama administration, he's an economist raising the red flag on inflation and the problems for months that was eventually correct, it was pretty rich to have the president then quote him saying this bill is fighting inflati

it is the story of john glenn, john kennedy, and the space race in the case of the cold war. he comes to us from the west wing writers room. he founded it as a speech writing business along with the strategic operation. and this comes from his experience as a speech writer for president clinton. he did a number of landmark speeches for the 42nd president. he also has a background in history from brown university. he was a rhodes scholar. he has a masters degree in history from oxford. his previous books were on fascinating topics, in and of themselves. one on franklin roosevelt and his tussle with the u.s. supreme court. the other is, speaking of tussle's, on the conflict between robert kennedy and lyndon johnson. we were just talking, before we went on camera. jeff is so good at developing dramatic tension. i would say, about this book which i thoroughly enjoyed, i may have mentioned it to meet him, i certainly did with others, when i'm getting ready to moderate a book discussion i saw myself so many pages of the book to read a day. i make sure i'm finished with it by the ti

john lee: [speaking chinese] stephen: john lee taking the oath of office after the march volunteers the national anthem was played. xi jinping overseeing the swearing in. john lee is a for chief executive for hong kong, this is the six terms since the 1997 handover. no chief executives has lasted the allowed to terms, either by scandal where one did not make it through to terms, carrie lam had one term, and -- had one turn in a little bit and there were a lot of protest. we will see if john lee brings stability to wet carrie lam acknowledge to me a couple weeks ago as a very difficult job serving two masters, xi jinping on the communist party and the leadership in beijing, and the people of hong kong. it's unenviable, obviously. rishaad: hold that thought, john lee has been sworn in as the hong kong chief executive, he was pledging his loyalty both china and to hong kong, doing so with the chinese president by his side. that of courses accompanied by much fanfare. we have the cabinet now coming out as well. as steve was telling us, we have principally a lot of beijing loyalists will now

>> john dean is a truth teller. and whistle-blowers and truth tellers are so dangerous and threatening when they speak out. because it's not just that they are speaking truth to power, they're giving permission to other people in the group to speak out. >> after john dean testified, there was an inkling that maybe things had been recorded in the white house complex. >> the president almost from the outset began asking me a number of leading questions, which was somewhat unlike his normal conventional relationships i'd had with him, which made me think that the conversation was being taped and a record was being made to protect himself. >> he indicated in his testimony that he thought perhaps he had been recorded. and that little statement, that little statement led to senate watergate committee investigators to ask about the possibility of taping. >> are you aware of the installation of any listening devices in the oval office of the president? >> and that's the beginning of the end. but then something amazing happe

john and arthur both hold immense service games but we come back in with john facing a break at match point he for arthur. [applause] arthur ash beats john alexander, he has done what he has come to do, he is in the finals and positions to win his first major championship. he will face the winner of the other match, we'll either one of which is a formidable opponent for the man who set his sights on number one. for arthur it is very simple, in 1975 is to be the year of arthur ash in the world of tennis the place to start is in dallas and the time is now. earlier in the week the world's first 24 karat solid gold tennis ball for $303,033 was presented to arthur. arthur's scoreboard points knows that roughly 700 to the week of the season. arthur's consistency and beating out 83 other players for the top spot would early indication of the 1975 would be his year. >> bjorn borg semifinal, the most breathtaking tennis since the roosevelt final in 72, which people refer to as the greatest tennis match better. morgan is potentially the best 18 year old who ever played the game, is facing maybe

steele and john? >> john: i think they should with her hands to al gore's private jet. >> harris: we've got a lot of hands and we've got a lot of jets. >> lara: have you ever try to get superglue off your hands? that's really tough. had they just left them there -- i think it was on glass in front of the art. maybe that would have been a deterrent for future individuals, kennedy, who want to make a big scene and get this attention. maybe it would have deterred some of them. >> harris: i do want to show quick at that turbine, the wind turbine, that was on fire over the weekend. and maybe, emily, get your quick thoughts on this. because we are not at the point yet where we can sustain some of the things we are hearing out of people who are activists on this, woketivists, as i say. even though i house goes out and spends $60,000, $70,000 on electric car. our grids are suffering. when you see this, what goes through your mind? >> emily: i appreciate that point so much, and you're right. the transition is

but the other thing we got in common john lewis. he is my man. yeah, he's my john lewis. and you were his pastor. yeah, tell me how that yeah. it was a real honor to serve john lewis. as i said i met him when i was a college student and later when i became the pastor of ebenezer church. i became his pastor. and some of my earliest memories are serving not only him but his wife. who was quite ill by the time i came to ebenezer church, so i did a number of pastoral visits with lily and lewis who was a strong and indomitable spirit in her own rate. and um later, you know from time to time would spend some with him and you know, i as i was preparing to over his funeral. which happened while i was running for the senate? oh, i remember i was sitting there. yeah watching it. i i remember asking i asked myself as i was thinking about john lewis. what was he thinking? when he was crossing that edmund pettus bridge. with nothing, but a backpack on trench coaster um, i don't know but here's what i i do know. i i know was not thinking. that at my death there would be three american

. >> john: good to be with you on this thursday, i'm john roberts in washington. white house covid coordinator will take part in the briefing. he says the president did not sleep well last night after travelling to massachusetts and waking up this morning with a runny nose and dry cough. the white house says biden is taking the drug paxlovid, designed to reduce the severity of covid. >> sandra: officials say the symptoms the president is experiencing are very mild. we'll get an update shortly on the president's condition. complete coverage now, dr. marc siegel standing by. >> john: jacqui heinrich is live on the north lawn. the white house has sent out the first picture of the president, from some time today? >> we are to assume it's from today. white house is making an effort to show the president is still carrying out his duties in isolation despite testing positive for covid-19. he tweets, folks, i'm doing great. thanks for your concern. just called senator casey, congressman cartwright and a mayor and scranton cousins send my regret for missing our event today

that was john mccain. in the code he inherited from his family that served before him is passed on jay's brothers and sisters, children and grandchildren today. cindy, madame ambassador and the family, i am honored to have you accept this metal on his behalf -- this medal on his behalf. john was staffing me on a trip to asia in the late 1970's and we stopped in hawaii. cindy, i think you were there on vacation and you were talking to my wife jill, and john kept looking at her. and he talked about her. so, jill and i did something presumptuous, we make sure they introduced one another. he still owes me. [laughter] i think it is the best thing we ever did for each other, the very best. [applause] that is true, that is what he talked about when we left. and didn't take long to call you when he got back.

rex hi john, the battle for the u.s. senate race here in arizona is the most offensive at $78 million per that has raised so far. incumbent democratic senator mark kelly what a special election the state divided mumbai the slimmest of margins in 2020. biden is now deeply unpopular. on the gop side, trump endorsed blake masters but he leaves these filed by businessman jim lamon. both are newcomers and deny biden 13 also on the bad it mark brnovich civil is a route from trump supporting his certified by the election. >> my thing that does frustrate me. a lot of times because i do not have the in force meant of donald trump, somehow that makes me less conservative than i really am.

john. >> john: no, a lazy sot, isn't he. let's bring in karl rove, karl, put that front page of the new york page on the screen, interesting cover, as most covers are, recession, a period of temporary economic decline during which trade and industrial activity are reduced, fallen gdp and two successive quarters. the country is the depths of recession, yet the white house is playing a favorite parlor game in washington, depends what the meaning of the word is-is, but people at home trying to put food on the table, gas in the tank, roof over their heads, clothes for their children, do they care about semantic games? >> karl: it puts them off, makes them feel like the leaders in washington think they are dumb and stupid and can be sort of misled. i think brian kilmeade, i'm excited i might get an invitation on his program, but they want to hear their president say, i don't know if they are in recession or not, that's up to the bureau of economic research to determine. all i know is, we are in tough times and i'm doing everythin

>> that's a great question, john. especially with brett kavanaugh who counts ambivalent and sends mixed signals but then in the end sided with the far right to decide how much encouragement he might have given to the chief. assigned it, his vote was solid, but he never said that he wasn't going to listen to the chief. so the chief kept trying. the thing that happened, as i said, really thwarted things, was when it was clear to the public how justice kavanaugh and justice coney barrett may have voted. it locked them in and made it all the more difficult. and, you know, i do think that brett kavanaugh despite what he said during his confirmation hearing and despite the way that he sort of publicly wrung his hands of this issue was likely never going to switch. he was probably never going to change after he first said that he wants to reverse roe. his signal from the bench during the oral arguments, john in december, before they took that vote was, you know, pretty strong. it's just that he has been in play before, and t

i never stopped admiring john. never said a negative thing about him in my life because i knew his honor, his courage and his commitment. john mccain and what he inherited from his family before him, has passed on to his brother and sisters, children and grandchildren today. madam ambassador, and the family, i am honored. john was staffing me on a trip to asia in the late 70's. cindy, i think you were there, on vacation. my wife jill, john kept looking at her. jill and i at something that is a little presumptuous, we made sure we introduced each other. he still owes me.

john. jay is better known perhaps than bushrud washington as a diplomat and a founding father, but why did you choose to write about john jay? and why should our friends be interested in? well, i first i was a practicing lawyer for a couple decades and i was living and working in hong kong when it kind of hit me that i i wanted to write a book and then i fished around for a subject. i was originally thinking about governor morris and other founding father. and i but i thought well, let's find the biographies of his friends and alexander hamilton robert livingston, john jay and i was shocked to learn that the most recent biography of john jay was from the 30s. and i bought a used copy and read it and it wasn't that good. i thought god even i could better than this. so i started, you know researching and writing. i mean jay has this amazing career in state federal and international. i mean most people today kind of know him for is role in writing the federalist papers or his role on the as fi

john berman here in for anderson. far from carrying out his pre-trial threat to go medieval on the prosecution, steve bannon did not even put on a defense in his contempt of congress trial, and it did not take long for a jury to convict the former president's one-time chief strategist and insurrection rabble-rouser on both counts. now the man who cannot stop talking about overturning the election to his listeners, but refused to talk about his role when loftily subpoenaed, he awaits sentencing. cnn's katelyn polantz was in the courtroom and joins us now. walk us through what happened in court today and how bannon reacted when the verdict was read? >> well, john, as steve bannon moved around the courthouse today, on the grounds in the courtroom, he appeared to be very much himself. he was smiling throughout the day, right before the verdict came down, when the jury came back in, he was waiting, on his phone, what appeared to be looking at social media, thanking his lawyers, patting them on the back. but then when the j

james, thank you very much, john. for 49 is the time and >> did you miss the giants game last night? it was a scary moment on the field leading one san diego padres player to have to be taken off in a stretcher. we've got highlights as well as a look at sports around the bay with kron four's ken wayne. the giants began a four-game series in san diego, hoping to make it 2 straight wins at is quite a medallion. >> that this much space fans a look at things like the size of a dinner plate. 42,000 plus packing petco park in san diego, scoreless in the bottom of the 4th. but no more ps manny machado. just blast this one high off logan webb and way gone for a solo home run shot one, nothing padres. this was frightening. check it out. trying to field a fly ball. padres left fielder. >> jurickson profar gets a need to the side of his head and from his teammates, cj abrams profar gonna try to walk off the field. but look at that. a collapse before he could even get off. the field is put on a stretcher and carried off. luckily,

we know that john glenn eventually. successfully goes into space and becomes the first american to orbit the earth but there again is just that that tension and that wondering will this happen and how it how it will happen. so be sure to pick up the book. it's a great great gift for the upcoming holiday season, and i know you will love it and maybe there will be a movie about it jeff so welcome jeff. we also welcome your questions not just at the end of our hour today. please begin to give us your questions as we go along because we want to be sure to include them as we go through our discussion the other thing that i mentioned to jeff and in preparing for today, was that this feels like such a personal book to me because of my generational cohort? i feel like i knew all the characters starting with sputnik, which is one of the first characters in the book and that's because my dad used to tell tales of stopping at a park on the ohio river in our hometown of louisville to watch after work at this big open park sputnik g

john: i don't think so, emily. we are the largest provider of services, to large and complex organizations and that's an envied position to have but then there are the businesses going through the fastest rate of technology evolution. they are orienting themselves away from traditional networks that used to be operated in a way that was pitched exclusively by companies like us to defined networks that ultimately shifted the capabilities either to the company itself or into a hyper scaler environment and that changes our role in those particular companies and that is why as a business we are pivoting away from our strong position on the enterprise side where we will continue to service those customers and meet their needs in a way where we can match them, but we really want to strengthen physicians in the midmarket and our brand is well-positioned to do that. these types of customers will lead our expertise and our own and operated infrastructure to run the companies and we have great penetration there with a great

waiting ifor a john dean moment and had a john dean conversation. one that might influence how americans might understand what truly happened. do you think we've seen something like that through cassidy hutchinson or jeffrey rosen and donohue or is that what you think someone like pat cipollone sitting where john dean once sat could bring? >> well, cassidy hutchinson's testimony was a game changer and it was one of those dramatic surprises that shaped the senate watergate hearings and i think has moved this particular congressional investigation in a direction that we haven't seen since the senate watergate hearings. but what made the john dean moment john dean moment, was not just simply your previous guest but his position in the white house. the fact he was the white house counsel and talked to the president so he could give firsthand testimony, which as nick mentioned, was fully corroborated by the tapes, that he could tell us what the president was saying. cassidy hutchinson did a very good job of being very straightforward what she heard and w

john. >> john: arkansas republican senator tom cotton. the main event on president biden's schedule this evening in saudi arabia is the big meeting as we saw on the pool spray with salman, the crown prince of saudi arabia, a complete 180 what the president said was going to be the focus of the trip. listen to what he said in june. >> i'm not going to meet with m.b.s., i'm going to an international meeting, and it's part of it. >> john: i'm not going to meet with m.b.s., but an international meeting. he has a penchant to tell the nation what he's not going to do and doing the opposite and in doing so, it almost gives the idea that m.b.s. has the upper hand here. >> well, john, also creates the worst of both worlds. joe biden should have never ostracized saudi arabia and mohammed bin salman. and back to roosevelt, the leaders have worked with safety and prosperity for the people. by going down the path and calling it a pariah state and saying he would not meet with the ruler of saudi arabia, only antagonizes the saudis more and turns around

john. >> john: mark serves as c.e.o. for the defense of the foundation of democracy, let's talk, mark, about the president's upcoming trip to saudi arabia. it strikes me and other people this could be a big victory for mohammed bin salman, the president vowed he would make saudi arabia a pariah, and now going up to the head master to say please, i want some more. this is a big 180 for the president, some people are calling it an embarrassing climb down. >> well, john, it is. who would have predicted there would be a major geopolitical crisis that would lead to a spike in oil prices and the united states president would have to go to the saudi leadership and ask them to release a couple million barrels to dampen oil and gasoline prices. everybody should have predicted that, it happened dozens of times in the post world war ii period. so this is geopolitical malpractice for the president for not having predicted this and for having tried to malign the saudi leadership, a complicated but important strategic ally for the uni

i'm starting to read, and i got as far as john n. mitchell, attorney general of the united states, controlled a secret fund. and mitchell said, "jesus." and then i went a few more words into the first paragraph, and mitchell said, "jesus." and then i got to the end of the first paragraph, by which time the drift of the story was unmistakable. and mitchell said "jesus christ, all that crap, you're putting it in the paper. if you print that, katharine graham the publisher of "the washington post" is going to get her tit caught in a big fat ringer. and when this campaign is over, we're going do a little story on you two boys," and hung up the phone. i have to say, it is the most chilling story i've ever experienced as a reporter, because the threat was real. >> the brazenness that they could say those things about us, we'll do a little story on you and about mrs. graham, spoke volumes about their perception of their own dominance and power. >> i called ben bradlee, the editor of the paper. bradley said to us, you know there has never be
