almost all of them would be at bethesda naval or now walter reed? >> yes, and when presidents have an unscheduled trip to the doctor, it is natural, regardless of the presidency, for the public to be worried. i remember, i'm sure sanjay does, too, when president george w. bush apparently choked on a pretzel. i think it was at camp david. there was a great deal of speculation about whether that was indeed what had happened and the cause and what the consequences were. i think it's absolutely normal and natural given that we're talking about the leader of the free world, or at least we used to be talking in those terms, that when something unscheduled happens, one begins to think about the history of a little bit of deception from white houses. republican and democratic. one of the things white houses don't like to do is to create anxiety and concern about the president. they don't want to send the wrong signal to the markets, for example, to foreign adversaries. a weakness in the presidency is something that no white house, regardless of party, wants

he lived in that direction in bethesda, maryland. he came down embassy row, massachusetts avenue, lined with several embassies. in the car with him were two colleagues from ips, ronni moffitt and her husband michael moffitt. they turned the corner over here and unbeknownst to them, following them was a gray sedan. in that gray sedan were two cuban-americans who had helped put a bomb underneath the driver's seat in the chevelle that orlando letelier was driving. the order to put the bomb in there was given by the secret police of chile, and chile was ruled at the time by pinochet, a dictator, who didn't like the political activities that orlando letelier, a former ambassador to the united states from chile, was taking on in washington, and so we know now that it was the dictator who ordered the secret police to assassinate him. and so they did this partly through an american-chilean michael townley who came to washington, built the bomb with these cuban-americans and they put it under the car of letelier. they thought he would be alon

i'm meeting mr rifkin here in bethesda near washington he's an economist futurist and advisor to the european union and the german government he's made a bold prediction the threat of our extinction will move us to a 0 emissions economy jeremy rifkin in your book the green new deal you argue that our civilization which is based on fossil energy will collapse as soon as in 2028 now for 200 years fossil energy has been the most important source of energy can you believe that's hard to understand for a lot of people including for the economy which is depending on oil i think what people don't understand is the entire civilization is made out of fossil fuels are fertilizers and pesticides are construction materials are synthetic fiber are packaging. food additives and preservatives are power transport are eat are like everything so what's happened now ever is that we are now in a pivotal turning point for this fossil fuel based industrial civilization. we have now spewed so much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere to maintain this industrial way of life that we are now finding ourselves i

it was in bethesda. but it was a judge of the chinese court and she had traveled in china and the judge was quite insistent that in china the supreme people's court had the last word and she was equally insistent that the last word lay with the people's congress. and of course she was correct about that. but she was willing to go toe to toe with the professor from the beijing university. >> and yet she said, ruth, that her -- the single decision she regretted was her -- vote that she regretted, was her vote in a case declaring state laws that barred candidates for judicial elections from campaigning about controversial issues that might come before them and that was in 2002. she wasn't a newbie at all. why did she do that? >> i know she regrets that vote. but i think her goal -- she wrote a concurring opinion. and the concurring opinion said in essence, states, if you elect judges, you set yourself up for this problem and we shouldn't try to maintain judicial independence by limiting what judges say in e

and they live together in bethesda maryland, and the relationship was not all that woa concealed. and if you want to take an analogous example, the on secretary of state, fdr news right hand man, and the state department, more powerful than secretary of state was himself forced out of office because his enemies had knowledge of homosexual at least one of at least homosexual pairs. so guist was not a heroic critic during the holocaust. he worked against nazi germany in a variety of other ways. after the war, helped to become an ambassador somewhere. whenever made it. and now i go back to that comment jacob beam, once made. he didn't have it in him to be an ambassador because is it too many people knew about his homosexuality at a time when this is just before the mccarthy era. people began to describe homosexuals in government as security risks. that is what jacob was wheeling to habitat to me but not to see directly. he retired at normal retirement edge. what does guist see to us today. black-and-white history. is likely to be partisan and unhelpful. there was no easy solution to

crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i always appreciate let's go to bethesda peter i think that all of us would agree and our audience that it's why. unlikely that we would ever compared to donald trump ok they're very very different but they do have one commonality and it's an attitude towards foreign adventures now donald trump has not been able to do much about his rhetoric of the campaign while he's been in office but telsey gabbert keeps going both of them are slammed every time they go outside the the borders or the perimeters of the bipartisan commitment to these wars why is it why do they get slammed down so hard so fast even with people within their own party go ahead peter. well as you indicate there is a bipartisan consensus when it comes to american foreign policy and it's dominated by a neo con neoconservative or a view is based on this idea of american exceptionalism that the united states has the right duty the obligation to intervene around or all of the united states is god's gift to humanity unlike everybody else where alex was to commend eve

they head off to bethesda hospital and she is dead shortly thereafter. i think she probably died in the backseat of the car of the guy that picked up at he her up at r daughter said she was still speaking. but i think she did that just to be kind to the family members. second remus goes from one of the criminal masterminds of the early 20th century to the murd murder. it's an amazing story. he loses his temper. he is a temperamental guy. you can imagine somebody that carries brass knuckles around within an player is goin empiree temperamental, and he has created a plea called temporary and i quote insanity and he created that for william cheney ellis when he defended him in chicago. ellis killed his wife in a hotel in chicago in remus was his attorney. said he traveled quitso he travo cincinnati. he determined i'm going to use the same thing defending myself, so he defends himself when he goes on trial against charlie taft. he's the son of william howard taft. william howard taft is now chief justice of the supreme court. there are letters in which willi

and that while he was at walter reed national military medical center in bethesda, maryland, he met with the family and a service member of special forces who was injured in afghanistan. the reason it's getting a lot of attention is because when the president had his annual physical before, there had been advance warning, it was on his published sked suchedule and th and details were longer. in previous instances, the exam lasted for four hours. there were a number of doctors identified as participatinparti. this was different. that's what raised some of the questions. just to make clear, obviously, a president may have certain personal health privacy, but the overall health of the president, whoever the president is, is always a national security matter. it is, of course, critically important. so any questions about the president's health always has a lot of attention. reporters based here at the white house yesterday, i was here as well, those assigned to the pool traveled with the president at 2:00 in the afternoon. he was back here by 5:00. there were a series of statements from the

they had off to bethesda hospital, and she is dead shortly thereafter. i think she probably died in the backseat of the car, of the guy who picked her up, but her daughter says she was still weeping but i think she did that just to be kind to the family members. so remus goes from one of the criminal masterminds of the 20s, early 20th century to a murderer. it's an amazing story. he loses his temper their he's a temperamental guy. you can imagine someone who carries brass knuckles around who runs the criminal empire is going to be temperamental. he had created a plea called temporary maniacal insanity. and he created that for an air named alice when he defended him in chicago here alice killed his wife and a hotel in chicago remus was his attorney yet traveled quite a bit in cincinnati. he determined i'm going to use this same thing in defending myself. so he defends himself when he goes up on trial against charlie taft. charlie taft is the son of william howard taft. william howard taft is now chief justice of the supreme court, and our letters in which

on saturday, got to the walter reed national military medical center in bethesda, maryland, they were there for about two hours. typically an annual physical is longer than that. so that's another discrepancy. again, the white house is saying the president is fine, that he was choosing to make use of a down day in washington when he was not golfing because the 2020 campaign year which is ahead will be very busy, those are the reasons they've provided. we have no indication that there was anything wrong with the president, but when things are out of the normal pattern it raises questions. we've been asking those questions and the white house says that the president is in good health and that this was simply routine. alex. >> okay. kelly o'donnell from the white house with that update. thank you for that. >>> the trump tax fight, next up the supreme court. up next the key issues that could determine that high court case. >>> then later, the record bull run on wall street. so how much longer can it last? so how much longer can it last (groans) hmph...

the group traveled with the president to bethesda, maryland, to walter reed where he had a part of the annual physical and lab work, and no other information was provided except that the white house says that the president is perfectly healthy and fine, and no complaints, they said, but it is breaking the pattern of how it has been done, and raised questions of was there a medical issue or a concern or something more for us to understand what happened. we don't have all of the answers of that, and no statements from the president's doctor, and only the president and the press secretary saying that everything is okay. >> kelly o'donnell, thank you from the white house. >> sondland is on the stand, and why a top democrat say they don't need his evidence for a strong impeachment. and county to county, the iowa poll which is showing a new frontrunner that could decide the election. decide the election. ♪ applebee's new sizzlin' entrées. now starting at $9.99. and now for their service to the community, we present limu emu & doug with this key to the city.

from the white house to the press core that the presidekoco will be taking a trip to walter reed in bethesda, maryland. but there was no such notice this time. so that raised some eyebrows. that coupled with the fact that the president had an annual physical in february of this year. but the white house says that this is a phase, the first phase, there were lab tests, he also took his time while he was at walter reed to visit with an injured american soldier from the war in afghanistan. and that soldier's family. so the white house pushing back very hard on any notion and some of the conspiracy theories and the unsubstantiated rumors that are out there on the internet and were over the course of last night that this was anything more than a part of his physical -- as they termed it, phase one of that physical. >> but no doubt they can understand why something like this would raise a lot of eyebrows. mike viqueira, thank you. >>> right now political washington is still pouring over the two newly released transcripts from closed door testimonies in the impeachment inquiry. they include the rev

army located in bethesda, this afternoon. we'll let you know more as we get it. >> thanks, mike viqueira. >>> a question many have asked since 2016. will we see president trump's taxes? the answer may now lie with the supreme court. president trump has asked the justices to block a subpoena by the house to release his tax returns. msnbc's legal contributor is here to shed light on all of this. katie, this isn't exactly new. trump's lawyers already asked the high court to reverse rulings regarding a new york case. >> reporter: that's right, and so let's be clear, kendis. trump is the first president in more than 40 years who has not voluntarily turned over his tax returns. so allowing that to be the background what we're about to talk about, there's two pending requests, frankly, by donald trump to the united states supreme court to hear his appeals. one that has to do with a manhattan d.a. to an accounting firm and that subpoena asks for eight years of donald trump's tax returns, financial documents, et cetera. that one has a

host: we go to zack in bethesda, maryland. it changed your mind either for or against impeachment? caller: it did change my mind, and i think there is a bigger and more dangerous issue that is not being talked about. the american people are being lied to. i know the american people here these soundbites, and they don't hear most of the testimony or witnesses or whatever you want to call them, but a few seconds about a quid pro quo, and they go about their own opinion about foreign policy, which they do not make, and they think they do. these are bureaucrats, they don't make any foreign policy. i don't know why they think they do. president ofthe the united states -- that is our system. for the most part. maybe that is a flawed system, but that is the system we have. host: thank you for the call. from page of the washington post, a whirlwind week of gripping testimony, wrapping up. diane in pennsylvania, did this week -- did last week change your mind? caller: no, it did not. coming.his was all i watched this continually. his statements, the president's statements to the nation and

i am a conservative from bethesda, maryland, and i will tell you i have no voice or no power because of gerrymandering and assistant. -- the system. red states and blue states, we gerrymander people's opinions, so they lose the power to vote in terms of fixing the system. i think being able to talk to each other and being able to have systems where people's votes actually count and they -- not gerrymandering out host: thank you. guest: i appreciate that. fundamentally, what we are talking about, when we talk about structural reforms for democracy, is not democratic or republican policies. we are talking about what are the set of reforms we could make to absolutely -- actually ensure are effective.' that is things like ending voter suppression. also things like rent choice -- ranked choice voting. it is part of breaking the boundaries of polarization we have had and have so damaged our politics. host: democratic commerce meant matt cartwright represents pennsylvania's eighth congressional district, district that donald trump won in 2016, and it is a target now among republicans. this

fellow member and golfing friend of brett kavanaugh's father at the elite burning tree country club in bethesda, maryland. and so this had this impact on her life that completely upended her life. she was unable, after the story became public, she did not get back to her home for three months. and even now she has to worry about security. and my conclusion was that she did not come forward for partisan reasons, she came forward because she believed, perhaps naively, that she had a civic duty to do this, from all the witnesses we've heard previously. and also that senators who heard her allegations would -- needed to know and be swayed by them. >> so, ruth, apparently justice kennedy pushed kavanaugh as a potential nominee for the court. could you talk about that? what was the connection and why? >> sure. brett kavanaugh clerked for justice kennedy and that was really his first step on a road to legal stardom. so he -- and he became one of justice kennedy's star clerks become a federal appeals court judge. and justice kennedy was incredibly fond of him. and like many, many people in washington,
