bruce, answer that. we earn less money than whites. bruce, answer that. we have?1/10 of the wealth of white. bruce, answer that. let me finish. i didn't cut you off. >> i'm trying to answer it. >> these are facts. we're the first ones fired, last one hired. our wages are low. so don't insult me with just the factag that the lowest unemployment. talk to the three issues that i just gave you so the national audience can understand why >> judge pirro: spoke to the issues. leo, he's going to talk to the issues. you can't give the president credit for getting unemployment the lowest it's been in 50 years? you don't give him credit for that. >> no, because the wages?-- we can second -- >> what is your plan? >> bruce, you're not going to answer those questions. >> no, i am, what is your plan? wait a minute, leo, hold on. i know what your plan is. let's support a child that comes out of the womb and exterminate. let's give healthcare?-- whoa whoa, let's give healthcare to illegal aliens, and let's do that. let's give healthcare to illegal aliens.e >> you can't answer thes

. >> joining us now, richard rose and bruce lavelle. gentlemen, thank you both for being here. >> thanks for having us. >> you were at the event last night, bruce. what did you see? >> it was awesome. it was just exciting. first of all, i was glad for him to come down to hotlanta. he plans do many more stops around the country. it was jam packed. i wish he had a bigger venue. we had a lot of folks who couldn't get in. there's a lot of excitement in the president asking, hey, i want this, i want this vote, i want to -- as he was saying, he was promoting the opportunity zones. he was a leader and game-changer in the step one act, which is a nonpartisan way to approach it. >> that did start in the obama administration, but he continued it, yes. >> and we closed deal. >> and you closed the deal, just to clarify. >> a collaborative effort. just the fact that it's the lowest black unemployment rate since 1972 and we plan to get it much lower. interesting on that note, i remember being in the trump tower in 2015 and we were with a lot of them.

republican strategist bruce mehlman joins us. always nice to have you. bruce: great to be here. soledad: let's begin there. what is the big picture impact do you think of all of these folks? i'm going to go out on a limb and say they're going to be a handful -- there are going to be handful more of people not running for re-election and people who are very well known and have lots of power, like a peter king? bruce: the two questions are the explann bruc would you like to the house minority these days? for some of the folks, like peter king, he'see minority, th really ought to be yes or you need more hobbies. for other folks like will hurd, i think there's a frustration -- i think there's a frustration that the party that you're currently representing is not the party you thought you signed up for. so there's a sense of maybe in this era he can find other ways to serve as opposed to either picking fights with his own party or carrying the party line that he doesn't believe. now, as for the impact, yeah, it absolutely makes it harder for the republicans to recapture the house. in

>> mary bruce leading us off tonight. mary, thank you. >>> and as we said off the top, the president tweeting right after the vote, and late today, huddling at the white house with republicans from the hill. that meeting had already been scheduled, but they, of course, had plenty to talk about today. so, let's get right to our chief white house correspondent jonathan karl, with us live tonight, and jon, is the white house giving them any guidance, how to help defend the president? what are you hearing from your sources tonight? >> reporter: well, david, the president's response via twitter came less than one minute after that house vote. it was a familiar message, he said simply, "greatest witch hunt in american history." the white house strategy is to keep republicans fully onboard, portraying the impeachment inquiry as a partisan, democrats-only effort to hurt the president. and, of course, today, that vote, as you saw, not a single republican voted in favor of the inquiry. so, look for the president to continue to have

man on the spot was bruce laingen. laingen felt strongly that the u.s. should not admit the shah and he explained why in a top-secret letter to the state department. >> i thought that until the revolution had put its own institutions of government in place, until we had put an ambassador in place and thus signaled in that way our acceptance of the revolution, that it would be dangerous to proceed with his admission. >> jimmy carter's decision to admit the shah incensed the iranian public. there were daily demonstrations outside the main gates of the u.s. embassy compound. inside security had already been beefed-up to protect a reduced staff of 70. lee shots was the embassy's agriculture attache. on the morning of november 4th, 1979, shots was leaving the embassy grounds for his office which was off the compound, a block and a half away. >> after i walked off the chancellery that morning, there was a lot of chatting going on out front. we knew that it was the celebration of the one year previously students had been shot by the shah's people in the streets

the way to defeat bruce and alabama is not convincing bruce to come back to the fold. it is convincing other people in alabama, particularly black and brown people in alabama, of blackthere are a lot -- people do tend to live close to where they were formally enslaved. there were a lot of black people in sec country, right? the wafer to the bristles of the world is organizedck voters and registered and we have to look at candidates who will do that as opposed to candidates who will spend dollars and blood and treasure trying to convince bruce. among the field of democratic candidates, you listed several. he was your favorite? as it stands now? bumperi have many stickers in my house. i tend to like the progressive policies. i tend to like the people who can build multiracial, multiethnic coalitions. i tend to like competency. to be's generally going hard for me to vote command because i think that one of the things that we have seen over the last few years is it seems women's time to lead. they are activated. they are organized. they are running in so many different fie

thank you, bruce. let me put the question to the trio. the generation in iran, let's say those who were 20 when the hostage crisis started, are now 60. they have gone through the war, they have gone through all of these american sanctions, hardships, and so on, and you don't hear from them even the history of the hostage crisis. you have a generation that was not even born when the hostage crisis started. they are now in their 40's. the ones who were born afterward. for them, this is not an issue. what would it take for the united states to not forget or forgive this or,, not make this an issue and to have a relationship between the two countries? >> i think that it is a very difficult question to answer. you ask the toughest questions. i tend not to believe that u.s. policy today is directly motivated by this sense of resentment, or even by the demonization of iran that has come fairly consistently over the course of the past 40 years, sometimes with legitimate provocation and sometimes because iran is a convenient punching bag for the a

john ramose has more on the giant 's new pick. >> it is not easy replacing bruce bochy, but you know it's really going to be tough when the first words out of everyone's mouth is an apology. gabe kapler had barely donned his ceremonial giants jersey and hat when president of baseball operations addressed the clouds hanging over his new manager. that he had mishandled allegations of domestic and sexual battery leveled at several minor league players when they both worked for the dodgers. >> i don't think we did enough in that regard. i've had to reflect on that and i am truly sorry that i did not do more. >> reporter: the complaint is that he try to handle things himself, without seeking experienced help in the matter. >> i'm sorry that i didn't make all the right moves. everything that i did, i acted from a place of goodness and from my heart. and wanting to do the right thing but i was naove. i was in over my skis and trying to do things on my own when, it was very clear that i need to counsel. and, i need counsel from people who, like i've met in this community of the last two week

gabe kapler was introduced as bruce bochy's replacement. the decision has left the giants fan base somewhat fractured, not so much as kapler's record as a manager, but how he previously dealt with a serious issue. in 2015, while he was the dodgers director of player development, he reportedly mishandled multiple charges of sexual assault against some of his minor league players. >> i'm sorry that i didn't make all the right moves. everything that i did i acted on from a place of goodness and from my heart and wanting to do the right thing. i was naive. i was in over my skis and trying to do things on my own when it was very clear that i needed counsel. >> he did apologize. he also said he consulted with bruce bochy and buster posey during the interview giants. gabe kapler signs a three-year deal with the team. >>> books, but no beds. it's a startling number. the number of bay area students dealing with homelessness is on the rise. a mix of funding and software to find them places to stay while they're in school. a business and tech recorder

just like bruce said, joe is the one who makes the call. he stops and takes time when he sees people hurting. he fights for the people who feel left out, and even as vice president, he was never, ever too busy to call a friend or make a visit to the hospital. his kindness, his character, it is a part of everything he does. it's why he works so hard to pass the violence against women act in the aca. it's why he had the courage to take on the nra. it's why he will never stop fighting for families who need help with college tuition and medical bills and hope for better jobs. about a month ago, i was in seattle and a woman came up to me and she had tears in her eyes. i always sort of brace for that, because i know or i feel they are usually someone who has lost a child or is suffering with cancer, so i had to brace myself to talk to this woman, but her story was not a sad story. she was overwhelmed with gratitude. her son had suffered with a stutter all his life, but he had met joe, and joe kept in touch with him. he called him every so often ,

i think we still have a lack of consensus. >> bruce? >> i am going to give a point in favor of your argument, then agree with suzanne. the point in favor is in the summer of 1980, i think in august, there is a lot of talk in iran, including at the very senior levels, about putting hostages on trial. jimmy carter at the time sent a message to the iranians, not in public but clandestinely, saying that if any hostages were put on trial, the u.s. would use military force. and as you know, the hostages were never put on trial. of course, there was also an intervening event, the iraqi invasion of iran, which was suddenly a lot more important priority of tehran rather than the question of show trials. that said, i think suzanne has it completely right. there was no consensus in the carter administration in those first 48 hours, or even the first two weeks about what to do. there were very strong differences of opinion. the first 48 hours, i think it is also worth remembering, there was a widespread assumption that the hostages would be release
