is it okay if they go, miss richardson? >> sure. we'll go right after. >> okay. >> good afternoon, commissioners. linda richardson, former san francisco planning commissioner, long time bayview-hunters point. you all need to know that this particular site was where the city and the state several decades ago were trying to build a power plant. yes, the vocal minority -- no, really, the entire community came out and the entire san francisco. after we defeated that with the board of supervisors and just about everybody in san francisco, you all asked us, planning commission, to go back and plan 18.5 years, 18.5 years has now boiled down to your resolution. we came to india basin. you know what, this here, lots of housing. we are the only one building housing. when you see me hear, i am instrumental in building thousands and thousands of houses in my city. when building came to bayview, call me and the rest of my neighbors, i encouraged him, called the a.p.r. we work with them. but what you're about to do then, that zoning of that area

richardson. can you come up a second? i was really trying to understand the history and what you were trying to say in the three minutes. can you expand on what you said. >> yes please. i appreciate your time. when the site -- when a.e.s. was going to build the power plant. we've been very prodevelopment. we went to port of san francisco to the planning commission. we ask them. this neighborhood is a mixed use. we welcome houses. we put together the bayview master plan which you have in your 100-year anniversary. no neighborhood in san francisco. you have residents, youth, seniors and workers trying to create this vision. you have that plan. we created the india basin neighborhood plan. i wish everybody here can look at that. we have housing in there. we have all the mixed use element. that is not the case. >> commissioner richards: what's the difference between what was in front of us today? >> that zoning, we have shown -- [indiscernible] i wish you can go. how many the commissioners have chance to be there. you all nee

former governor bill richardson is back with me. let's talk, can we, just about the weight that this president holds in these primaries. he has. there's no doubt about it. he's bragged about it. he's been right about it. he clearly has influenced so many of the outcomes of earlier races. he hasn't endorsed anybody here yet. >> it is very telling. remember when jeff flake was announcing his retirement, it was because he wouldn't be able to survive a republican primary in this age of donald trump. we've been talking about arizona. let's also think about florida hosting some primaries tonight as well. in the governor's race there. adam putnam. and that endorsement moved him up to, you know, to become the leader in this race. so in these states it's all about donald trump. it's all about these candidates trying to endure themselves to the president in the primary. becoming less red over time. swing state, they have to pivot in some ways. whether that endorsement hangs over as a cloud or boost. >> obviously senator mccain's name is not o

national academy of sciences in the past few days professor richardson thanks so much for coming on the program just explain risks that would still exist even if the world abided by the paris agreement on a two degree centigrade rise in temperature. well what we did is we sort of said well listen it's nice that politicians have decided that the earth will be two degrees warmer than it was in the pre-industrial and sort of assume that it'll just stay at that temperature who's a back at the earth's history and it turns out it's never had a stable period of long a long period where the temperature was stable at about two degrees above pre-industrial so what that told us is that there may be other processes in the earth's system that when you get to be two degrees warmer could keep pushing the temperature up until you got around four to five degrees as has happened in the past so we started searching for those processes and we didn't identify anything new all of these processes have been identified before but we looked at was the interactions between these processes we're talking processes

richardson is live traveling with ambassador haley. good evening, richard. >> the un ambassador is here in bogota leaving the us delegation for the inauguration of the new colombian president and counter narcotic efforts in the countryside and going to the border with venezuela for that humanitarian crisis. we were the only tv crew to accompany her throughout the day, spoke to her multiple times on issues facing colombia, venezuela and us foreign policy challenges thousands of miles away. united nations ambassador nikki haley staged a short walk from the venezuelan border declaring it was time for the venezuelan president to go. focusing on humanitarian crisis in venezuela flooding into colombia, she addressed foreign policy challenges across the world with questions how long the us would wait for north korea to surrender its nuclear weapons. >> if they want to wait but we are not willing to wait too long, we are willing to be patient but they have to understand the end result is the same. that will never change and we won't we can tha

richardson had to promise to appoint a special prosecutor. that is when things started to go amiss for him. the senate while it is a minority that is pushing for more oversight of nixon, they can still have an impact on the hearings and extract from a nominee more than you might think. >> you had more oversight of nixon or more of jeff sessions? >> more oversight of trump. >> what would that do to us? is that a constitutional crisis or would that throw us back to the beginning of the investigation? i don't think anyone is exactly sure of what would happen if he did fire the attorney general. >> what will happen is if you got a new attorney general in there is that rosenstein would no longer be in charge of the investigation because the new attorney general would have no conflict of interest theoretically. he would take charge of the investigation. a new attorney general could leave it with the deputy attorney general who is much more familiar with the case. i think ultimately a new attorney general would make such a decision as to what do i d

right at the height of watergate and richardson to get the seat had to promise to appoint a special prosecutor, that's when things started to go amiss for him. the senate, while it's a minority that is pushing for more oversight of nixon, they can still have an impact on the hearings and still extract more from a nominee than you might think. >> you meant more oversight of nexton or jeff sessions? >> more oversight of trump. >>. >> of trump, ok. >> what happened. >> ok. what has been -- what would that do to us? would that throw us back to the beginning of the investigation? does it start over? i don't think anyone is sure what would happen if he fired the attorney general. >> well, what will happen, what would likely happen is if you got a new attorney general in there is that rosenstein would no longer be in charge of the investigation because the new attorney general would have no conflict of interest, theoretically, and he would take charge of the investigation. i think ultimately, a new attorney general would make such a decision as to what do i do with the report of the specia

here is that. >> i am david richardson. there is one word of official washington doesn't want you to hear. impeachment. i am the only candidate in this race who offers an impeachment bill for the legislature. raising health care costs, siding with vladimir putin and the constant lying, if this is not enough to impeach donald trump -- what is? host: florida primaries coming up later this month. not one of the four states holding primaries today. democrats not the only one focusing on the message of president trump and focusing advertising on president trump. another candidate for governor in florida focused on president trump. husband is knows my endorsed by president trump. is also an amazing dad. he loves playing with the kids. he read stories. >> then mr. trump said, you're fired. i love that part. >> he is teaching madison to talk. >> make america great again. >> he is so much more. >> big-league, so good. >> i just thought you should know. host: we will be playing you some more candidate congressional and gubernatorial

as i say, that's what happened as part of confirming the replacement for elliott richardson. there was a requirement that the investigation continue unimpeded and without any interference from the attorney general. >> jill, good to talk to you, thank you very much. >> thank you, ali. >>> all right, today marks the 13th anniversary of hurricane katrina, a storm once known as the most devastating the u.s. has experienced, but now we're learning that hurricane maria was even more deadly with thousands more americans killed than previously reported. we'll be live in puerto rico, a territory some say was abandoned. you're watching "velshi & ruhle" on msnbc. e" on msnbc it's so simple, i don't even have to think about it. so i think about mouthfeel. introducing chase ink business unlimited with unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase. >>> this just in on our top story. the campaign of florida nominee for governor ron desantis just released a statement about his controversial comment involving the democratic nominee, andrew gillum. again, here's the comment that desantis made on

. >> joining me now, bill richardson, former ambassador to the u.n. he's negotiated with north korea since the early 1990s. bill, welcome to you. the president has held summits with both of the leaders of russia and north korea. does that put him in position to make demands of russia on related issues? >> well, yes. i mean, he gave an incredible forum to putin. the meeting was a disaster, i think, for the united states. but i think secretary pompeo who has done a good job of negotiating with the north koreans is now finding out that russia is not our friend here. russia is allowing 700 licenses of north korean workers, clear violation of sanctions, and that has been our main weapon against the north koreans. sanctions by china and russia and other countries. so, i think he's finding out that putin meddles in our elections in the united states, blatantly, still doing it. is now violating north korea sanctions. one of the centerpieces of the president's foreign policy. so, you know, pompeo is trying to defend that, i think effectively out there. but it'

, who was the attorney general at that time, to fire the special prosecutor, archibald cox, richardson stood up to nixon and said, no, i'm not going to do it. so nxixon fired him. ru ruckleshouse was the next person in line and went 2to the third person in line, mr. bork, who issued the order. it's unusual to have this kind of fight between the attorney general and president of the united states. >> everyone, stay with me. there's much more to discuss. >>> more breaking news, the "the wall street journal" reporting a longtime crony of president trump has been granted immunity in the case. david pecker, head of the publishing company that owns the national enquirer the latest to make a deal with the feds. >>> also president trump making the case against his own impeachment. warn whing what would happen toe financial markets and personal finances if he were to be forced out. we'll discuss. now t-mobile has unlimited for the rest of us. unlimited ways to be you. unlimited ways share with others. unlimited ways to live for the moment. all for as low as 30 bucks a line. unlimited for you. f

i want to thank general dunford, general millie, general kneller, admiral richardson, general goldfein, and vice admiral wray. a very special thank you to the commanding general, the 10th mountain division. congresswoman mauther-mcsally. thank you. >> that was president trump just a few minutes ago thanking a laundry list of people before signing the john mccain national defense authorization act. one person who wasn't on that list of people that he thanked? outspoken trump critic and the name sake of the bill, senator john mccain. the decorated war hero, was a prisoner of war. the bill the president signed, the john s. mccain national defense authorization act. no mention of him by the president today. today mccain issued a statement saying i'm huggabled my colleagues in congress chose to designate this bill in my name. one person who was clearly thinking of him in the ceremony, his wife cindy mccain tweeting i'm so proud of senator john mccain and his work on ndaa. incredibly humbled and since president trump would not do it, let us hear on "the lead" congratulate senator mccain and

bill richardson. thank you very much for joining us. there is a big question about is the current policy on north korea, is it working as far as the progress that we're making? >> well, what i think is important is what secretary mattis did, which was to suspend a concession that we had made to the north koreans at the singapore summit. i've negotiated with north koreans. they always want you to go first and then when it is time to follow through on their commitments they don't do it. they have done nothing an denuclearization as they said they would. so this is going to be a frosty period, but i am convinced that negotiations eventually will resume. and they should resume. but i think it's the correct decision for the secretary of defense to keep the pressure on north korea, reinforce our relationship with our allies of south korea that we're still with them on military exercises. but this is typical north korea. i think it was a mistake at the singapore summit to have let the north koreans have that

rob: richardson spoke with the ambassador while she was visiting colombia, the pressure she is putting on. >> the united nations ambassador nikki haley staged a short walk from the venezuelan border declaring it is time for the venezuelan president to go while focusing on the humanitarian crisis in venezuela, flooding into colombia only a few feet away she addressed foreign-policy challenges across the world and questioned how long the us will wait for north korea to surrender its nuclear weapons. >> we are willing to wait if they are willing to wait but we are not willing to wait long. >> reporter: mike pompeo accused him of using sanctions against north korea. state department official for the us is sanctioning russia again for the poisoning of the former british spiders are in england. haley warns of more potential penalties. >> lots of options we could do this past week so those things will continue to happen until we can cleanup the behavior. >> reporter: the us began restoring sanctions against iran it lifted as part of the iran nuclear deal in european firms continue conducting

richardson tracking twists and turns. >> the president says north korea needs to dismantle its nuclear weapons and china for relaxing pressure on kim jong un. he announced he would cancel his trip saying because of our much tougher trading stance with china i do not believe they are helping with the process of denuclearization as they once were despite un sanctions. mike pompeo looks forward to going to north korea in the future most likely after our trading relationship with china is resolved. in the meantime i would like to send warmest regards and respect to mister kim. i look forward to seeing him soon. for weeks the trumpet ministration complaint china and russia are easing, sanctioning russian shipping companies from delivering oil. mike pompeo announced his trip to north korea naming a new top negotiator. they were planning this visit, a senior us official before canceling at the white house, there are also concerns north korea continues building its nuclear program. the international atomic energy agency published a report claiming, quote, continuation and further development o

bill richardson former governor of new mexico joins me now. thank you for talking to us. north korea is saying in a statement that the u.s. is clinging to a, quote, outdated acting script by basically imposing these sanctions before it denuclearizes. what is your take? >> traditional north korea negotiating strategy. they know negotiations will continue. the north koreans want their own position known. they want sanctions before any denuclearization steps take place. they want their position heard. they're positionings themselves for negotiations that are happening. this morning for instance i just talked to a group of coalition of families on the remains of our soldiers from north korea. you know, the north koreans said they would give us 200 remains. they gave us 55. they drag things out. they use bluster. the good thing, julie, about what i noticed in the statement is they kind of went after the secretary of state, high officials are not helping with their negotiating strategy. but they said something nice about president trump. not in the spirit of president trump. so

richardson is traveling exclusively. the ambassador joins us live from colombia. >> reporter: tens of thousands of venezuelans crossing to colombia every day looking for food and medicine, trying to escape an oppressive government next door. we spent much of the afternoon in bogota, a city across the bridge from venezuela. the government says most of the crossings happened there every day and many have a hot meal and go back to venezuela. one woman says she has chosen living on the streets and colombia over returning to her home country. >> reporter: >> translator: every day this shortage gets bigger. something couldn't contain the shortage of food, the shortage of medicine and every day the mortality rate increases due to the shortage of everything. my son, the youngest of my children is still there. i have been here three months. like i stated earlier i am now working. i'm hearing colombia recycling garbage but you can't raise a family with that. i can't send money to my country to feed my son. >> reporter: they just w

richardson has the latest tonight. >> reporter: the us tricky relationship is deteriorating further. the united states and turkey trading tariff increases and american pastor andrew brinson is still under house arrest in turkey. >> we feel turkey and specifically president erdogan treated pastor brunson who we know to be a very good person and strong christian who has done to nothing wrong very unfairly, very badly. something we won't forget in the administration. >> reporter: turkish court denied an appeal to release brunson from house arrest. he can appeal that decision. mike pence tweeted andrew brinson is an innocent man held in turkey and demand he be released, turkey would do well not to test donald trump's results to see americans who are wrongfully imprisoned in foreign lands returned home to the united states, turkey accuses incentive espionage following a coup attempt and detained him for two years. >> translator: a digital process in turkey, must respect it with the judiciary will determine steps. >> last week the trumpet ministration announced it would double tariffs on t

was depending on and return today that, earlier this year admiral john richardson told reporters that the submarine activity is more than we have seen in 25 years from russia, specific to the atlantic, so what does this mean that the fleet is being put back in action and that we have seen so much activity on the part of russia? >> first off, as you pointed out this is a fleet and presence that has on historical basis not only cold war but world war ii where we were escorting vessels back and forth to european continent and continued throughout the cold war and we did have a high degree of soviet submarine and naval activity, the quality of naval forces declined -- bli but in the -- bli has been deploying them more and more aggressive and you think about the routes that we are talking about, this is both through air and through submarine navigating iceland going through north atlantic all the way to u.s. coast towards venezuela and knack and to it's only prudent that the u.s. which had abandoned command years ago given the lack of russian activity just prudent to put something back in

the attorney general elliott richardson refused and resigned. the president then ordered the assistant attorney general to fire the special prosecutor. he refused. the president immediately fired him. so solicitor general robert bork was quickly named acting attorney general. he was ordered the fire special prosecutor cox. he did. >> we discussed your reporting then and your anchoring then before. you said it is surreal. but now we're living through this. it is an indication that yeah, things can always get worse. we're in a kind of political theater of the absurd now. we expect things on get worse before they get better. >> i'm sorry you played that clip. i had more hair. >> i was going to say, who was the guy all that hair? >> and a better color. [ laughter ] >> it's always pleasure. >> look at that hair. do you see that? you haven't changed a bit. the hair is a little grayer. you had bigger side burns. >> welcome back. belly fat: the chili pepper sweat-out. not cool. freezing away fat cells with coolsculpting? now that's cool! coolsculpting s

richardson has more. >> reporter: in an hour the trump administration is exiting the iran nuclear deal. that is when the united states restores sanctions against iran that it lifted under the obama administration as part of the nuclear agreement. officials say the sanctions are designed to constrict the revenue iran uses to fund, quote, terrorists, dictators and militias around the region, the national security adviser denies the trump administration's goal is the collapse of the iranian government. >> our policy is not regime change but we want to put unprecedented pressure on the government of iran to change its behavior and they have shown no indication they are prepared to do that. the president made it clear that he views the iran nuclear deal is one of the worst in american diplomatic history. >> even as the us and sanctions against iran donald trump says he would meet with iran's president. president rouhani rejected that saying the sanctions rendered donald trump's offer meaningless. >> translator: we are ready for talks to see how they will compensate and pay us back. america

well that case was called frontier against richardson, and we represented sharon frontiero who was a lieutenant in the air force. sharon had a husband and t husband was denied medical and housing benefits because he wasn't as dependent on her as he should be the law to let a husband get benefits, where the wives of military men automatically got benefits. so we were in court saying that that distinction based on gender was unconstitutional. >> and you won? >> we definitely won. all but rehnquist, justice rehnquist agreed that was discrimination on the basis of sex. but we wanted to get a very high standard of review so that sexual discrimination would be scrutinized at the same level as race zrichlz discrimination. we almost got that four of the justices ruled in our favor on that. >> you remain close with her in washington and beyond. do you think she is close to being done? >> no. i think that she -- first of all, she said that she has at least another five years in her, and she has maintained her health beautifully. she works out, as you can see in the documentary, religiously, an

in the years since the explosion bill richardson affected by the disaster have taken to the streets and blockaded pemex well sanaa physis. senior clerics officials complained it was costing them three million dollars a day in lost production but refused to offer compensation. is the baby then the people. in the middle and. i think that. the company sin different turn to farmers of oxy cauchy on the a kilometer away from the well explosion into activists. and money. you know that work i'm not. good today is the one year anniversary of the explosion and the community of folks has received no compensation for their suffering not to grumble see others doing it or is eager to be in the moment but as a member of a primary level none of them will. not yet be thought yeah they'll get well again look at the imam on let go their child. if it. would give it a. little bit he will play out the grievances are many including claims of a skyrocketing breed of health problems man oh man get out of it no matter how it you know my parents have it in a settlement over goes a. lawyer and framed legal has co

david richardson lost to donna shalala in a primary for a representative ileana ro ross-lehtinen's seat. >> there's one word official washington doesn't want you to hear. it's [ bleep ]. it's [ bleep ]. it's impeachment. >> and up next, few people were closer to john mccain in the u.s. senate than lindsey graham. senator graham is going to be here to talk about his friend up next. >> the bottom line is, folks, that the people that he served with in jail will tell you the same thing in prison that i will tell you. he is loyal to his friends. he loves his country. and if he has to stand up for his country, so be it. he would die for this country. i love him to death. it was here. i couldn't catch my breath. it was the last song of the night. it felt like my heart was skipping beats. they said i had afib. what's afib? i knew that meant i was at a greater risk of stroke. i needed answers. my doctor and i chose xarelto® to help keep me protected from a stroke. once-daily xarelto®, a latest-generation blood thinner significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a

he would pull an elliot richardson and resign before that. >> as kaylin said, it's odd. either he doesn't know the process or knows the process and this is a political step. ultimately, he has the power to do it. look, their talking point continues to be for months to month, it should end. there is no evidence. any legal expert will tell you because it ended doesn't mean they have anything. this will play out. it's unlikely, it seems that mueller will come out and conclude right near the election. we are getting close. can you guess that might be into next 84. so it doesn't seem like it will end any time soon. >> i think it's important when you say there is something there or not. i think mueller, with respect to the president or the president's son are looking at perhaps ob suction or some tuned of a perjury type thing in the fbi. they're certainly not looking at conclusion. with the manafort trial you have one guy with all the wes e connections. look at all the charges. >> you don't have any idea what they're looking at or don't. >> i know he's on trial. >> we know the

investigating vice president spiro agnew at a time when watergate was cooking and we sat down with elliot richardson and he said i nknow this is going t take two to three years to resolve. this turmoil is awful. as the process goes forward and more and more people turn against him and now he has weisselberg and pecker as well as flynn and gates and papadopoulos and mcgahn spending 30 hours with the prosecutor. as more and more people turn, it will get worse and the deal will get worse. >> you mentioned legally speaking it would be part of a big deal. you mentioned his children. are they vulnerable? if so, to what degree. >> i know only a tiny part of what mr. mueller knows but from what i read in the newspaper and see on television, donald jr. is in this thing up to his ear tips. the russian meeting in june was many my judgment a violation of the statute you just have to solicit adverse information from a foreign power and then they get the clown act and giuliani says he didn't know they were russians. of course he knew they were russians. the e-mail setting up the meeting said they were representat

said hearings to not interfere with the investigation in the same way that during watergate elliott richardson and william ruckleshots made that commitment. i worry ban interim period should jeff sessions be fired and he names an interim attorney general. does he name rod rosenstein or does he find someone else in his administration? all he has to do is take anyone who is senate confirmed to any position, it could be an assistant secretary in the state department, in the labor department, anyone from across the administration that he can put into the justice department as an acting attorney general. that person could immediately take control of the mueller probe and either shut it down or curtail it in very significant ways. >> but maya, the justice department is possibly the only department that has a specific law, specific statute about who becomes the acting attorney general if the attorney general is fired or quit or is unable to perform the duties, and that is rod rosenstein. so the president, if he wants to use the vacancy act as matt miller was describing, would be wandering into a spac
