this is a the eu national anthem. s clearly a point for emmanuel macron -- he was overall the most pro-eu candidate among the 11 original presidential candidates. he is now going to be arriving on that stage and telling people to unite around france, unite around him and unite around a stronger europe. >> it is one thing for him to have made it this far. a lot of people clearly worried he runs the risk of disappointing. he have to be very careful he?t, have pity -- hasn't guess hews he has to knows he has his work cut out. that speech an hour ago was humble in which he said i know not all three people are behind my project -- i know not all french people are behind my project. turn out was not particularly good in the second round of the election. some voters on the far left felt disillusioned. emmanuel macron has his work cut out. you have to work hard to get french hearts and minds behind his project. we have the french parliamentary election coming up in june. if he does not get the majority to govern, he is going t

codis and the national d.n.a. index system play a critical role across the country in criminal investigations by federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. rapid d.n.a. involves a fully automated hands-free process designed to produce the d.n.a. profile within minutes at the booking stage outside of a crime lab. existing law does not provide for the inclusion of rapid d.n.a. analysis into codis, and h.r. 510 would bridge the gap between rapid d.n.a. technology and codis by authorizing law enforcement to conduct rapid d.n.a. analysis and upload the analysis to the national index as long as the rapid d.n.a. machines that are used are accredited. this adds a real-time layer to the codis system and saves us all significant time and resources, improving efficiency in the criminal justice process. h.r. 510 is significant, practical and has positive consequences for law enforcement and public safety. for example, detroit as of this april has tested approximately 10,000 backlog sexual assault kits. as a result, thi

and there by to influence the behavior of the national security adviser. who is the top security adviser to the president of the united states -- they held onto him. for 18 days until it ended up in the press. then they got rid of him. most republican senators on this committee today were mostly concerned about fact that this ever ended up in the press. it's a remarkable thing in its own right. but despite those guys, we know a lot more about this investigation, specifically about the still unexplained behavior of this white house when it came to this red-hot issue of their secret contacts with the russian government. and that is bad news. that is very, very bad news for this white house. and as soon as this hearing ended today, the white house floated the news that they are considering basically redeclaring war in afghanistan, starting the war there all over again in its 16th year, which had the practical effect of shoving the headlines on this hearing today down toward the bottom of the page, at least at the war -- "the washington po " post." and that is

emmanuel macron, talking to the french nations, talking to the french nations, talking to the people what happens. isn't it interesting? we've just finished that election and my guest and others in the city of bordeaux already looking forward, if i can put it that way, to june and already looking forward, if i can put it that way, tojune and the legislative elections. karin, i'm sure some of our viewers seeing marine le pen didn't let the defeat get to her — the video of her dancing has gone viral certainly has. lots of people dancing on the streets of paris last night. sally's coming up. let's get thoughts from journalist and commentator nabila ramdani, and stefan simons. how have france's expectations changed with this news? i think the expectations put on emmanuel macron are huge. it has to be said that he's a man who's come in with so little baggage, and he's been doing so remarkably well and has been so very successful in such a short period of time that people are literally expecting miracles from him. all he can do, frankly, is to govern to the best of his ability, and he has

. >> the tragic shootings in arizona are bringing the national debate over gun control... >> saturday's attack is now putting gun laws under a magnifying glass. >> narrator: then, once again, a familiar response: a public call for the federal government to just do something-- something about guns. >> guns, those damn things. so what happened here-- how did this slip through the cracks? >> here you have one of the democrats' own in congress being struck down-- a shooting which showed the effect of weak gun laws. >> as we wait for the latest medical update, president obama is working on the speech that he will... >> at the white house, initially there was sort of a wait-and-see. and i think a lot of it rested on, to what extent was the president going to be willing to take this up? >> breaking news, we've just learned that president obama will be going to tucson on wednesday. >> this just in: president obama just said that he will... >> narrator: in the wake of the shooting, the president was facing a political crisis on an issue most politicians try to avoid... >> president obama will de

then the first tuesday after the inauguration, the national security adviser got interviewed by the fbi. when the fbi does that kind of interview, the agents who conduct the interview produce a written report about it. it's called a 302. swearing in was on friday, then there's the week, then the following tuesday national security adviser gets interviewed by the fbi. the consequences of that interview are still ringing out like -- i mean, church bells, air raid sirens, depending on your mfrlt adjustment towards these things. all these weeks and months later, what happened in that fbi interview still resent resident nating. it set off alarms so much so they didn't even wait for the agents who had interviewed mike flynn to write up their 302. they didn't wait for those toogts write their report. >> did you have the 302 with you when you were in the white house? did you show it to white house counsel and had you seen it at the time you went up to the white house? >> no. the fbi had deducted interview on the 24th. we got readout from the fbi on the 25th, a detailed readout specifically from

the way. defining freedom for this nation. one of the more pivotal stories and iconic stories is that of nat turner. we are fortunate to be able to feature a bible owned by turner at the time of his escape and the time of the rebellion. nat turner is pivotal because like other rebellions that took place throughout the nation and the african diaspora, it made an impact on this country. laws tightened up. while those laws tightened up, african americans found ways to go around those laws. we have a section directly behind me called making a way out of no way, where we look at the black code and slave code, codes defined status, ability, and autonomy. african americans, free and enslaved, were often times restricted more than you can imagine. illegal to read, illegal to gather, illegal to practice their faith. one of the objects i would like to point out is again a family object. we were fortunate enough to be contacted by shirley burkett of detroit who reached out to us and donated her ancestor's violin that was given by a slave

it is not as though the slavery issue is complete we silenced at the national level. even if, right, the petitions are gapped in a certain way in the years following -- gagged in a certain way in the years following. >> [indiscernible] inspired people to look at this debate more in honest dimensions. there are plenty of dimensions to look at. one thing i would remind you, if you study this episode, the wider atlantic world, there is a lot going on in congress at this time. nothing is debated in congress in a vacuum. in this particular case, for those of you who have seen "hamilton," and you know his report on public credit is being debated at the same time. tensions in congress are already amped up. you get these quakers and senile ben franklin throwing these potentially unconstitutional proposals, and things really start to ignite. bear that in mind. i am reminded, unless i am wrong in this, there are good in bad -- good and bad sides to the it i slavery debate -- anti-slavery debate being dragged out. some people say this is a titanic waste of time. then we have simm

it's the responsibility, i believe, and the duty of the nations of the western hemisphere including our nation, to help the venezuelan people. article 20 of the inter-american democratic charter states in the event of an unconstitutional alteration of the constitutional regime that impairs the democratic order and a member state any member state or the secretary general may request the immediate convocation of the permanent council to undertake a collective assessment of the situation and to take such decisions as it deems appropriate. this is what must be done because if we fail to help the venezuelan people in their time of need and the worst comes to pass what will follow will not be confined to the venezuelan borders. the united states, as a result, i hope should impose sanctions against corrupt individuals, not the government, not the people. individuals responsible for human rights violations, narcotics trafficking, money laundering, undermining the country's democratic process. president obama began that process. president trump actually sanctioned additional people earlier this

the largest arab nation in the world. >> this round is not over.there are other legal challenges in other states. there is another hearing set for next week. it could go to the supreme court. at the white house. scott thuman, abc7 news. larry: interior secretary is getting ready to tour the national monument in utah on president trump's order. he is reviewing the designation of it and the 26 other monuments. his recommendations could lead to the smaller monumented boundaries or eliminating the designation altogether. alison: the head of the environmental protection agency removed half of the scientists who sit on a key review board. the board revises leadership on integrity of the science. the e.p.a. administrator scott pruitt is considering the representatives of the industry that the agency regulates. >> we were told that we would be preparing for meeting the fall and so forth. this announcement of the determination of serving board members is shocking. >> the e.p.a. denies that anyone was dismissed and says the three-year terms were not renewed.

the war that formed our nation and formed our movement toward becoming the -- a great nation as hamilton and jefferson defined and others of their generation. doesn't have a name. the enemy or from the other point of view, those who were conquered don't seem to have names. i mentioned two that we know the most about. it was a gigantic confederation of nations that came together to resist. not just these two and their people but a big consideration of nations and they had success for a wild. >> speaking of that, i was talking about lack of indian identity in the west but that was not the case east mississippi river. talk about how strong that sense of community was in the role it played in that. >> it is quite different in the story i am telling, more like they developed without giving up the identity. members of nations and branches of nations. they did define themselves for the first time in that area, it wouldn't necessarily be the term they would use. we get interesting vocabulary problems talking about this which in themselves are worth dwelling on. there is a strong hand in the move

host: the article shows the national monuments in this country by type. the talk about the monument, the reason for preserving, 57 percent, 37% of national monuments dedicated for the historical value. an example for one of those? guest: as i mentioned, the bus station that was part of the freedom rides during the civil rights movement in the 1960's. an internment camp in hawaii. does not seem like those are under review, they will stick around because they are small, all under 100,000 acres. host: colorado, independent, ken. caller: how are you doing? bothering me, i am an indigenous american and when they make these monuments, it all goes into the un pool. australiau can go to and go to their monuments, it is a land grab. it is one world. i do not understand. who is our government, king george? you are taking our land away for any reason you want. you cannot have a gun in your vehicle if you cross a monument. host: anything you want to pick up? guest: some debate whether the antiquities act has outlived its usefulness but as a conversation we should have

visited in the nation's capital with capacity crowds almost every day. we visit the museum to tour the history galleries, which begins three stories underground. mary: my name is mary elliott and i am a museum specialist and co-curator of the slavery exhibition, which is one of three exhibitions in the history gallery. we have three exhibitions in this gallery and those exhibitions cover 15th-century africa and europe all the way to today. some of the themes we cover include holding onto humanity under some of the most inhumane conditions. we look at the harsh realities of slavery and freedom, the resistance and survival of a people. we look at africans and african americans shaped the world as well as a nation. we look at how they shaped the landscape. that means socially, politically, economically, geographically, as well as culturally and intellectually. what is important for people to understand is we look at these stories as human stories. they are told through the african-american lens. this is a shared history and you will see yourself throughout t

the u.n. s reduced by $640 million. while national security is a key tenant to this legislation, the omnibus also promotes economic growth at home, particularly in my kentucky district. coal country came under siege under president obama with an onslaught of job-killing regulations. our communities are working hard to recover after losing nearly 12,000 mining jobs. in addition to rolling back several anti-coal regulations, the bill permanently provides health care benefits to retired coal miners and their families. this gives the people who powered our nation for generations the peace of mind that they deserve. the bill also provides kentucky with $25 million to continue the abandon mine land pilot program, which creates jobs by reclaiming abandoned mine land for economic development. the appalachian regional commission receives historic funding with $152 million appropriated, $10 million is dedicated to high-speed brought to you by cable in -- broadband cable in our area. and in addition to creating jobs, this bill builds on our prog

he tried going to the center on national security issues. we will see whether he stays there and ruling from the center or respect for the left. >> you within agree that it was mostly domestic issues on which the election was -- not national security? >> i think most elections in any country are really people voting their pocketbook. whether out of frustration with the party in power or whichever party they think will impact the economy or their economy the best. even though we have fixated on north korea, on the alliance or thad for south korea's relationship with the u.s. vis-a-vis china, talking with koreans they will say you guys are focused on that really korea was focused on reform and the economy. in termso you expect of north korean policy under moon? he has a very full record of statements, but do you think he will implement them? indicated --he has i guess i would interpret broadly the direction he is headed. it is one that really wants to pursue every possible peaceful option by which to address the north korea issue. with the fait

it is wonderful to be back at the national archives. it is one of the great institutions in america. the 100 days came out of franklin roosevelt's remarkable period. we used to do presidential inaugurations in march, not january. in march of 1933, fdr would have gave his famous we have nothing to fear but fear itself address and then went into a frenzy -- some people call it the alphabet soup of the new deal -- of doing programs to stimulate american pride and work our way out of the depression. he did the civilian conservation corps in the first 100 days. unemployed men and women planting trees across america and the like. it was such a successful first 100 days that people would try to say how did yours stack up. truman and ike did not play ball on that 100 days thing, although eisenhower knew he had to get us out of the korean war quickly. he made us a promise, i will go korea in my first month in office and solve it. he did eventually solve it post 100 days in june of 1953. kennedy started playing as a democrat and capturing the new

the party has little or no interest about doing something about the national debt. eep going more and more in debt. the future generations are going to have to pay for it. is there anyway that this conversation will change, someone has the brass knuckle to make the tough decisions where americans would have to make sacrifices to start reigning in our spending? >> guest: i think so. president trump may be this that guy, because he approaches things from a business perspective. if you look at the two types of spending that gives us a stat, there's mandatory, and discretionary spending, it seems like a lot of times congress and about mandatory spending cuts, and those are very difficult because they affect human's lives, if you look at discretionary spending, there are places where we can start cutting and get serious about, but they are sacred cows and by this i mean the military spending. 16% of the military budget is for salaries, 20, 30 some odd percent is for military defense contractors. if we can start by looking seriously at our military, because it's the larges

that was the national league division play-off. people here yesterday of course disagreeing on whether the pitch was intentional. >> my opinion i thought it probably wasn't. i didn't think it was hard enough to charge the mound. >> he hit him on purpose. >> reporter: strickland saying that that was not intentional. the giants manager, however, saying the whole thing was sad but he is glad no one got hurt. both strickland and harper were ejected. the nationals won the game. fans head back to at&t park today. they may be wondering what to expect as they watch game 2 of the series. live from at&t park, sandra osborne, kpix 5. >>> it is 6:09. if you are in need of some vacation days, a new event, you will want to hear this. why some doctors say it could be time to take the day off. >> oh, did somebody say day off?! we're going to take a day off from sunshine. hi there. we have may gray transitioning to "june gloom." and i'll tell you when to expect showers in the forecast. coming up. >> expect delays for your tuesday morning commute. we

but we need the countries of the nation to have a strong voice too. does the prime minister agree with me that those who abstain from taking their seats in this house, those who are denying the people of northern ireland the government, formation of our government, are denying their constituents a say in the future of this country and we will not allow that to happen. >> the honorable gentlemen is right. it is important the constituents who elected members of parliament feel those members of parliament are able to do their job, bring their concerns to this house and play a full part in this chamber and we want to ensure every part of the united kingdom has a strong voice and we continue to work for that. >> the prime minister is showing considerable leadership in adopting the definition of anti-semitism. does she believe it is the duty of all party leaders in this house not just to pay lip service to it but do something about it? does she share my -- does she share my disgust that a former member of this house criticized by

committee and to increase the funding of the national institutes of health. but to do it for the purpose of all americans having access. having said that, getting back to this omnibus bill, i'm very proud of the work of nita lowey and ranking members of the subcommittees and the staff and proud of the work also of our distinguished chairman, mr. frelinghuysen and join him in recognizing the work of his subcommittee chairs chairs on all of this. it's a product to be proud of. thank you, mr. frelinghuysen. i urge a yes vote. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady yields back.

the group presents a clear national defense risk, everybody agrees to that. may the president take action? or is that president disqualified operating on that risk because of the animous? >> no, it is not permanently disqualifying in any circumstance. >> they could take action if there is a national security risk? >> i think the president could take action if it appeared to be reasonable, objective of server -- observer, that his primary purpose was not to -- >> you mean his primary purpose? >> if a different candidate had won the election and then issued this order, i gather you would not have any problems with that. a different candidate who did not make the same expressions as president trump did? >> yes, your honor. this same act could be cost constitutional in some circumstances but not in others. >> my particular question is if some other candidate had won the election, issued this executive order before us, i gather you would have no problem with that. is that right? >> i will to clarify the hypothetical in one sense. are we saying that the candidate is

it is not focused on the national source as it is the governments of these countries in relationship with them and whether we are getting reliable information in order to be able to screen their nationals. if you focus on those sections, that is really the basis for the order. i think it is clearly not to trigger the president's determination under 11-82f. all the left with is their constitutional claim. that is what it all boils down to. i think for all the reasons i have given, they should not prevail on that but even if they did, we would be looking at a narrow injunction tailored to these plaintiffs that has caused irreparable injury. the last thing, if i could say this, the order before this court has been the subject of a heated and passionate political debate, but the precedent set by this case for this court's role in reviewing the president's gower at the borders will lon debate and this order and this constitutional moment. in cases like this one, which is such intense feelings on both debate and this order and this constitutional moment. sides, we would respectfully submit

determinations in the interest of national security? >> the president of the united states, of course, makes -- >> that's the answer to the question that shedd just asked you. >> okay. but -- >> you are problem with the question is you can say it who makes the national security determination. not who's president or made it i.'s what happened in this particular case when you look at mandel and you take it out of the facial part and consider din and that's a plurality opinion of justice kennedy and justice aly to made a concurrence and they said absence a showing of bad faith, so then the question then goes back to the question, is there bad faith? not who's the candidate. could have been any candidate. any other candidates done the same thing, we would probably be back here now but we have on the face we have the statements from the president on the campaign, we have statements after the campaign, we have statements after the ninth circuit opinion and the question is, is that enough at this stage? we can get into this business of whether

we get an important part of our funding from the national park service. partners been imported and will always be important partners because this is national park land. we also continue to work with the mount vernon ladies association. they have supported us throughout the years. they look at us as their boots on the ground. we are the ones listening and meeting people and hearing about , this piece of land may be developed, or they are talking about a cell phone tower here, or a pipeline there. we alert them. sometimes they have purchased land not in the park but near the park to protect it from they willloped, and put easements on it and sell it. i grew up in montana and wyoming. we had a good open spaces and i took them for granted. i came to the east coast, and there are all these cities. i never knew about this park until i came to interview for a job. i stepped out, and i was captivated. it is a magical place. it is so rare to have this much land preserved so close to washington, d.c., and in the process of preserving this landscape so that people at

auspices of the cia, which vets national security councilees. that clearance was never granted before he was pushed out of the job. one official with knowledge of matter said. we're back with our panel,. of course he would have had to go through the process again at a much stricter level from the clearance that he had at that point in time. >> yes. and it's amazing that he never finished his security clearance forms and trump let him have access to all this classified anyway, which makes the warning by president obama and sally yates all the more stark. we have to understand who the national security adviser is. they have access to all the intelligence streams coming into the president. they're approving covert actions that the white house might be interested in. this is someone who has access to the most sensitive information for our country. and he was in contact with the russians. and the trump administration did not seem to care. >> the president has been tweeting a lot today. before the hearing, he tweeted ask sally yates under oath if

and at the same time he cannot afford to antagonize the national assembly. do you think those are extreme facto factors or is there room for maneuver? >> yes, john, you correctly identified both domestic and international constraints that will influence how the new administration will carry out the policy. the main issue is we have seen this platform before. you think about the situation between george w. bush and the president of south korea and there were tensions but we got through it. i think we will see something similar. bruce put the no experience in a negative light but on the other hand we have somebody who has experience and 15 years ago we were dealing with a bunch of people who had no experience who came over and took over south korean government. i think in the first 24 hours, some of that experience is showing. i think he did a very good job with his inauguration kind of address. really the outstanding question is chemistry. we will have to say how that is dealt with. there will be tension and frictions but i think they will be managed. >> bruce

security measures that come under the purview of the national security council. it wasn't until the "washington post" revealed the nature of his deception that the white house turned around and fired him. not because he was compromising national security but because he had lied to the vice president. in fact, he was, as sally yates warned a clear and present danger. >> matthew, is there a serious case to be made that we still would not have known about this if 2 story hadn't leaked to the "washington post," if that hadn't been the way it got out? >> i think there is absolutely no reason to believe based on what we know that the white house would have ever fired mike flynn. it's clear they only fired him once it became public. and now when you look and go back and reconstruct these events and look at the way they rolled out as she explained today. she had a meeting with don mcgahn on january 26th. she had another meeting with him on the 27th of january. they had a phone call on the 30th. that was the day she was going to provide him with the underlying evidence whi

and so, this historic and unprecedented gathering of leaders, unique in the history of nations, is a symbol to the world of our shared resolve. >> [speaking arabic] pres. trump: -- bonds of friendship, security, culture, and commerce. for americans, this is a very exciting time. a new spirit of optimism is sweeping our country. in just a few months, we have created almost a million new jobs, added over $3 trillion in new value, lifted the burdens on american industry, and made record investments in our military that will protect the safety of our people and enhance the security of our wonderful friends and allies, many of whom are here today. now, there is even more blessed news that i am pleased to share with you. my meetings with king salman, the crown prince, and the deputy crown prince have been filled with great warmth, goodwill, and tremendous cooperation. yesterday, we signed historic agreements with the kingdom that will invest almost $400 billion in our two countries and create many hundreds of thousands of jobs in america and saudi arabia. this landmark agreement includes th

we do collect all the belligerent nations. the best way to find out what we are looking for and how to donate is to go to our website and look under donating an object. that will give our contact information and people can contact me or the museum for archival material. then we can dpoe frgo from ther. we do ask that people contact us first. walk-ins with materials is a little difficult. we are not always available to look for them. we are looking for specific things. we do have that on our website. >> doren cart, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> you are watching live as c-span visits the national world war i museum in kansas city, missouri. we are spending 2 1/2 hours here in the week of the sen ten yece. our guest is mitchell yockelson. >> his latest book, "forth-seven days." let me pick up on that topic. the wore had been raging enter europe for 3 1/2, 4 years by the time the united states decided to get into it. you described it as pretty much a stalemate. neither side was advancing very far. what tactically did genera

the gloves come off. we have a full-fledged national security state now. part of what i am trying to say is you can actually find the government doing the things in wartime that it only does supposedly in peacetime. and i think it has a great deal to do with changes in the government, more broadly, changes in the economic context in which the government and defense contractors operate. a lot of it i think is the pressures of attempting to prepare for war in the industrial age. that is something you can improvise, especially for the navy. if you want and navy ready to go in 10 years, you start 10 years early. in some respects, you go into war footing even when you are at peace. i think the timing of the national defense secrets act in 1911, it has not started ramping up for world war i, is really suggested in that regard. that is kind of the misconception i think i see that i am trying to push back against. >> thank you for speaking with us. ms. epstein: thank you. i appreciate it. >> interested in american history tv? visit our website, c-span.org/ history.

>> there would certainly be concern at the director of national intelligence. justice department and throughout the intelligence community because their jobs actually is to provide intelligence information to the president so that he can make good decisions in support of the country. what this really becomes is a political question and an issue for congress to deal with, because he does have the legal authority to declassify information, but he also look an oath of office. and he is supposed to uphold the constitution, protect and defend, and so the question, but a political question, is is he now doing things by releasing this type of information, for example, that violates his oath of office or otherwise goes against what the oath that he took. >> so the political implications that carrie is talking about, michael, you've heard some democrats in congress mention the "i" word, impeachment. three instances where congresses of the past considered these articles of impeachment. put this into context for us. >> i think that, you know, on the political side, eventua
