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

correspondent richardson has the latest tonight from the state department. good evening. >> good evening, bret. secretary stayed mike pompeo pressed the turkish government in person today, meeting with tn minister earlier today. for nearly two years, turkey has detained american pastor andrew bronson. speaking to reporters after his meeting with other foreign minister, the guitar he pompeo said, "it's pretty straightforward. they have been holding these folks very long time. these are innocent people. pastor branson is an innocent pastor and they need to let him return to the united states and they need to let our locally employed folks, everyone needs to be let out." the state department official says turkey has detained or deported dozens of americans, mostly u.s.-turkish dual citizens since the july 2016 coup attempt and turkey is still holding what the official describes as a small number of americans. the u.s. has pressed for pastor brunson's release and is losing patience. president trump has been tweeting about the case and this week, the treasury dep

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

. >> 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'

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

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

. >> you had a lot of candidates like chris dodd and joe biden, bill richardson and in the end you thought this is dpoing to be clinton's time. >> for some time it's been no secret that hillary clinton would run for president, but today on her website shs she made it official. >> i'm not just starting a campaign, though. i'm beginning a conversation. >> after six years as a senator, people believe that she has the credentials and leadership skills to be president. >> i'm in it to win it with your help. >> she got a lot of experience. her husband a popular the. she had all the money, the backers and big names. it looked like a sure bet. >> senator barack obama threw his hat in the crowded ring today in springfield, illinois. >> one thing you can say with certainty about senator barack obama is that there's benever bn another presidential candidate like him. he has a foreign sounding name that rimes with osama and admitted to using marijuana and cocaine as a teenager. he's half black, half white and in terms of political experience, green. >> as a senate candidate in 2004, barack obama stepp

one in four lynching victims, like joseph richardson and frank embree, were accused of unlawful conduct with white women. in nearly every case, no evidence, just an accusation, was enough. there are so many crimes committed against african americans. why focus on lynching? >> stevenson: at the end of the civil war, black people are supposed to get the right to vote, and the only way people who were white could maintainthb and lynching was especially effective because it would allow the whole community to know that we did this to this person. it was intended to send a message, that if you try to vote, if you try to advocate for your rights, if you insist on fair wages, if you do anything that complicates white supremacy and white dominance and political power, we will kill you. >> winfrey: anything that upsets the power structure as i want it to be. >> stevenson: that's exactly right.enn founded an organization he called "the equal justice initiative." it's a legal advocacy group, based in montgomery, alabama, focused on defending the poor and powerless. stevenson is best known for his l

national academy of sciences in the past few days professor richardson thanks so much for coming on the program to 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 processe

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

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

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
