so owners of frontline, suggesting that the american narrative may be wide of the mark. is conceivable i suppose that they don't yet have the information that the united states have, but we understand that they do have crew on board and would inevitably therefore be able to communicate with their owners. so we are seeing progressively here allegations coming out of the united states being contradicted as fred was saying there, the japanese owners of the company could ykokuda coura difficulti contradicting the under. >> okay. fred, sam, thank you. and let's talk more with the chair of con temporary middle east studies of the london school of economic and the author of making the arab world. thanks for being with us. so we just heard from our two reporters in the region that perhaps the american narrative is off the mark. and iran agreeing to that as well. if iran was behind this, let's talk about what the purposes would be, and number two -- first of all, do you have any doubts that this was iran? is the united states off the mark? >> you know, i don't know. despite the t

you listen to the western corporate media or western state owned media you'd assume that the american narrative is true despite the fact that the united states has a history of lying one of the things that iranians remember is the downing of the iranian airliner in the 1988 where the americans shot down an iranian airliner in international waters with missiles and then the united states covered up lied about the iranian plane's altitude and direction and blamed the iranians for aggressive action and only years later did the truth come out back then the u.s. and western media mimicked what the united states has to say so no one here trust the american narrative and everyone expects the iranian armed forces and the iranian government to protect the country's sovereignty putting aside the issue of where this trying to shut down and there are busy contesting narratives around that and the potential airstrikes these reported as strikes that trump ordered and then called off could that be a form of deterrence it's been suggested that it's part of a strategy for the u.s. to share their strength so ter

some are small black—and—white clip is shown on tv and somehow that is evidence that the american narrativete —— mike is the legitimate narrative. we also forget that the united states is engaging in economic warfare against ordinary iranians, and your country is abiding by the dictates of donald trump even though your country has signed a nuclear deal committing itself to normalising the relationship with iran. and number of countries in the west are obviously keen to maintain the progress that was made with iran. in terms of the actual video footage here, the point that is made by the us and others is that only the iranians would have the expertise and know—how to go and do that mine removal operation. nobody else is operating in that stretch of water. that is why they say that evidence points to iranians involvement. what you were basically saying is that the iranians don't have the know—how to re m ove the iranians don't have the know—how to remove a mine, yet they are a threat to the international community. on the one hand the iranians are incompetent and incapable, yet somehow they a

guest: yes, we have to remember that utah and omaha dominate the american narrative, but juno beach for the canadians, 900 americans killed, more than 900 in omaha, but over 300 canadians were killed at juno beach, the second deadliest beach on d-day. and we have to remember something very important about the canadians, our neighbors, great allies, very strong allies, they were all volunteers. every single guy, every single canadian that stepped out of a landing craft onto juno beach, every canadian that jumped out of a dakota on d-day was a volunteer. they do not have to be there, so that makes their courage special, i think, and unique. allieds a story of cooperation, superb ally cooperation, the pinnacle, you could argue, of allied operation. it was a joint effort. we fought side-by-side and died virginia, and he said he came in on the second wave for the interruption with alex kershaw. your biggest full of first-hand accounts from veterans. what was your primary source, alex kershaw, letters home, personal diaries, interviews with surviving veterans? guest: a combination of many thi

with that being said, the idea that the americans are pushing a narrative thatis americans are pushinghaving the full story, that is not an unreasonable thing was to be suspecting right now. but when we look through the region and we started to say to ourselves who was could have pulled this off, who was asa could have pulled this off, who was as a motive at this particular moment? most of the other actors kinda fall off the list. it was close to a ride, it was carried out with means we know the iranians have. and it was carried out in a way that was specifically tailored to ensure that there would be no immediate american retaliation on iranian targets. the americans may decide to escalate sanctions further and employ more forces, but right now with this ambiguity we don't have to move greatly in. that leads us have to move greatly in. that leads us to the idea that the iranians we re us to the idea that the iranians were using this to send a message without quite giving the americans a cause they definitely gain something by giving them to think about. after days of protests in hong

so, once again, we're seeing picking away at the american narrative. and this coming at a time, for example, the emrates are very anxious about the proxies. nonetheless, at this stage, very anxious to stay out entirely of this growing rhetorical confrontation between the u.s. and tehran, not least because they look straight across the persian gulf on to iranian territory. they're very close neighbors. and that they are very anxious that this could ex scalate to something that spins entirely out of control, natalie. >> sam kiley, fred pleitgen for us, we'll talk to you gentlemen, thanks. >>> the u.s. president trump did something on friday we rare with hear him do, dial back on an incendiary comment. we'll look at what he said and how he tried to undo the damage. that's next. ♪ ♪ acqua di giò. absolu. the new sensuality. giorgio armani. hey allergy muddlers... achoo! ...do your sneezes turn heads? ♪ try zyrtec... ...zyrtec starts working hard at hour one... and works twice as hard when you take it again the next day. zyrtec muddle no more. and try child

so the american government narrative here seems to be suspicious as well. therefore, in the eyes of the iranians, everything that comes out of washington right now has to be looked at with a great deal of skepticism. said iranin salami was sending a clear message to the u.s. that iran does not have any intention for war with any country but we are ready for war. can you explain the significance of his comments, professor? >> well, when president trump said he can annihilate and in a tweet, than the iranians are going to take any move by the u.s. military seriously. president and people in the white house constantly speak about all options are on the table and republican senators calling for strikes on iran, then that makes the iranian military much more sensitive. engagedians are already in defensive actions against the united states. monitore to constantly american fighter jets and american ships that are constantly moving close to the iranian border. and when a drone like this violates iranian airspace, that basically means they are looking for places to

she hasn't adequately laid out the case and presented the narrative to the american people. do i think it's there? yes. but i don't think she's done it and you can't have it both ways. you cannot say i want him in prison or impeached. what's going to happen, if we don't pull this trigger soon, what the narrative that will be written about us is that we are slow to the punch. we're not actually doing our job. and that will hurt us more than anything else. but i do understand what she's trying to do. the issue is that it is not happening quickly enough for most. >> here's the contradiction. she's blocking impeachment. the speaker, the leadership. it is not just the speaker. those who believe it should be done. a good cop, bad cop going on the fact is many have said it's time for impeachment. i don't understand why democrats are mit sizing it. the more you play this back and forth, the more you're putting it into the calculus. fundamentally when a president says the fourth estate, the enemies of the media. it is a violation. >> are you tired of democratic leaders saying what th

options open so we have a division within there, with that being said, the idea that the americans up wishing a narrativeout having the full story, that is not unreasonable for us to be suspecting right now. but when you look through the regions we start to say to ourselves, who else could have pulled this off? who has a moment to pull this off at this moment? most of the other actors fall off the list, it was close to iran and carried out, it was also carried out in a way that was specifically tailored to ensure there would be no immediate american retaliation on targets. the americans might decide to select sanctions further and deploy more forces but right now but this ambiguity, we don't have to move directly into a strike which leads us directly into a strike which leads us to the idea that the message will be sent that without quite threatening the americans there giving them something to think about. ugandan authorities have sent a three—year—old boy suffering from ebola back to the democratic republic of the congo, along with his family. the boy's brother and grandmother fled the drc, and became

with that being said, the idea that the americans are pushing a narrative that serves the purposes, that a reasonable thing to be suspecting right now. but when we look to the region we start to see results, who else got i pull off? who else has a motive to pull this off at this moment? most of the other actors i could carry this out... it was close to iran, it was carried out in a way that was specifically tailored to ensure there would be no immediate retaliation on the radiant targets. the us might decide to escalate sanctions further but right now that the ambiguity, we don't have to move directly into a strike area, that leads us to the idea that the iranians were using this to send a message that without quite given the americans... they gave them something to think about. what do you say to the leadership that others are trying to ruin the country 's international relationships? this recently from the foreign minister saying that the us is trying to sabotage diplomacy. there are other actors in the region who would welcome more chaos in the region, who would welcome conflict betwe

american citizens. he pushed this narrative based on faulty data and general incompetence.t immediately after his december appointment by governor greg abbott. claiming half that number had voted in one state election since 1996. on cue, president trump tweeted. his co-sign that whitley's numbers were quote, just the tip of the iceberg of ramp ant voter fraud necessitating strong voter id. a voting right group smelled a rat and mobilized against whitley who almost immediately changed his tune. democrats in the texas senate had already heard enough though and in february they blocked his confirmation in a state that requires a two-thirds vote, four appointees by the end of the legislative session they take office in. near the same time a federal judge quashed the purge and texas is now banned from attempting another one like it. this past monday, hours before the end of the state legislative session, whitley saw the writing on the wall. i'm guessing it's spelled exit. i won't pile on secretary whitley because you walked through that door voluntarily. one battle won. i guaran

who fought, the soldiers, they're not talking about divisive issues, because that's an narrative that makes americans comfortable. it's sanitized, but it is comfortable. then, then it explodes. so i want to go through the last bit of time that and i have talk to you quickly about the latter years of the 20th century, into the 21st century. the national park service gets a new superintendent, probably a familiar face to manufacture you, dr. john latschar. he has an idea that they should start talking about those divisive issues. instead of avoiding them, this is an opportunity to have important conversations about what those men were fighting for in 1863. last year has a ph.d. in history. he's also an army veteran. he's going to be aided with congress. in 2000, mandating that federally management civil war sites include a discussion of slavery. so whether you're at fort sumter or gettysburg or frederick douglass' house, the national park service now has an obligation to have some conversation about causes of the civil war, including slavery, in its exhibits. and nor a narrative, since 1963, that avoid

[laughter] rick and tim, we are privileged to have you here tonight and we are looking forward to a wonderful evening. all yours. [applause] tim: thank you. thank you so much. when i walk into a room like this, i always spot the first couple of world war ii veterans . we have these guys in the front row here. i'm always drawn to them and want to know what their story was, where they were, what theater they served in, their personal stories. and they are so humble, they don't want to get into it too dee

i think they are nervous about the fact that polls show most americans are enthusiastic about impeachment. sometimes, i think the narrative there is a little hyperbolic. if you look at the freshman of 2018, they avoided speaking about trump and addressed the issues. i think that won over a lot of voters including in some purple districts. >> you have a lot of lawmakers facing some competitive races. how important is this battle over impeachment going to be to their reelection chances? >> i think it is difficult to predict at this point. it is still very early on. polling has showed that americans are not enthusiastic about impeachment. they are more concerned about health care. what we are seeing is that trump is really good at controlling the narrative. he's going to go on the trail saying they've tried to remove me from office. theme message will be the same. trump's numbers have been relatively stable across the board. he has a very steady base. even if they do move for impeachment, it is hard to see his numbers changing. >> is this a messaging problem? they should be able to do both. >> they have a constitutional mand

warned the drawn 3 times i think iranians they are trying to counter the narrative of the americas about the whole story the americans revealed a video of the basically showed a video for a minute 4 seconds the iranian show of the video of one minute and 4 seconds so there is sort of competition on narrative as well and then there's this this of course this argument about where the drone actually was when it when it was shot down was it in international airspace was it in iranian airspace i mean how do how do we know who's right absolutely more important to the iranians it's important they said this drone actually will. be and to the iranians from security perspective that is a very dangerous issue because they have the crisis with the rather over it as we know so as long as you know as the time this so the drone leaves actually either a minute i think they start monitoring it until they realize that according to them it was on basically water so what is iran's response likely to be then or what was it likely to be and when the americans overnight vajra man said we want to go see asians i think the iranians they have

you think democrats are going to be able to accomplish this goal of actually outlining a narrative for the american public? >> no. because i don't think many people are going to be watching the blow of this hearing, blow by blow, for the next couple hours. everyone is going to be watching you instead. no, but i think also another thing to keep in mind, which is important, is this committee is filled with republicans who are very close allies of the president. so you're going to have one side, the democrats, trying to create a narrative about obstruction, about what the mueller report says and doesn't say. and then you're going to have people like jim gordon and andy bigs, who are going to try to push back on this and try to protect the president, try to show that democrats are only trying to impeach, they're not trying to get information. so it's going to be a lot of static, a lot of signals crossing over the next couple of hours. and i'm skeptical. again, we talked about this on your show last night. i'm skeptical that democrats will be able to create some sort of narrative that will stick and wil

americans to view. we've had one narrative.he democrats have their best day when robert mueller actually did his press conference as he was leaving the department of justice. i can tell you the more evidence that we see, the more that the american people can judge from this they will start to understand why this president has been so upset and why he's called it, you know, a hoax, because indeed, in many ways, it was, so we'll start to see some additional documents come out this week, whether it's the declassified documents or not, i'm not sure but i can tell you that i have looked at documents at the department of justice as has jim jordan and what we saw was a very clear indication of severe credibility issues, as it relates to the dossier and christopher steele's credibility maria: and john ratcliffe has been on this program, trey gowdy has been on this program and also seen certain documents that seem to indicate the same. here is what trey gowdy told us about certain documents we have not seen so far but they will be relea

american people. here's the thing that dawned on me today, you had another mueller hearing here, why was it open? because they wanted to try to resurrect the whole mueller narrative into their best to make sure the american people are engaged but the truth of the matter is they didn't get the result they wanted. there was the if at first you don't succeed, try, try again, they have tried and tried again and they will continue to try but the problem is they know the truth. even some of the witnesses today here on capitol hill, they are supposed to be experts. they haven't even read to the steele dossier, that's how not credible that was. >> sean: how are we to interpret this "new york times" news tonight, do both of you believe as i think i'm reading and interpreting, i always ask both of you one question, neither one of you would leak the way i wanted you to -- you're laughing, what's the question? am i over the target? am i over the target and thinking countries like italy, allied countries, great britain and australia were outsourced intelligence gathering to circumvent american laws? >> i think what we don't know yet as we don't know who joseph missive was wor

if you will, if you remember the john dean hearing where he came out as part of the narrative to tell to the american people the story of what they believe are the miss deeds of the trump white house. house democrats on that judiciary committee today will be looking at specifically the president's comments and his interview with george stephanopoulos where he was asking would he in 2020 be willing to take any kind of foreign help for his campaign. that was a much talked about exchange. the president first said he would look at it, maybe he would do to the fbi, backtracked a bit and said if it were necessary he would go to the fbi. it created a storm. so today we're going to have expert witnesses who will be talking about that. there are still reverberations at the hope hicks testimony. she spent eight hours behind doors with members of the committee in a transcribed deposition-style interview where she answered questions related to her time with president trump, then candidate trump, but not any questions related to her government service from the time he was inaugurated through march of 2018. of cou

especially, democrats suck siding in getting a narrative out there with the american people. >> that's been the struggle for pelosi, is that most of her members who are coming to the cameras who are doing shows like this are those that are pushing hardest for impeachment and impeachment inquiry. but we did a long survey. we talked to 45 house democrats last week, my colleagues and i. it is -- there is a majority that clearly are supporting the slow methodical path which is about building a case, trying to go to court, trying to get more information. and then trying to get hearings, so that don mcgahn will testify, bob mueller will testify, and that maybe in one of those moments, you would get a big break. you would get a smoking gun, and the public would break toward her. but so far most of her people are holding with her, but there's a large block that are just sort of wavering right now, that feel the emotional tugs that a lot of others do right now. it's an open question as to how long they can hold off. >> mike, houpz long can pelosi hold on to control of this process, and what are

which was the we are taught this civil rights narrative that by the mid-1950's americans began to recognize that jim crow segregation and mass disenfranchisement was wrong, was morally wrong, and the struggles and movements to persuade americans in how wrong theas, which then led to brown v. board of education decision in 1954, which, of segregatedlared schools unconstitutional, which we are taught led to the civil rights act of 1957, which we are taught led to be civil rights act of 1964, which we are taught led to the voting rights act of 1965, that people recognize that powerful americans, powerful americans writ large recognized -- and recognizing that through the civil rights movement, america decided to fix it. that america has always been moving forward through this moral compass toward greater equality and freedom, and as a waslt, that period precisely, that history moving forward. malcolm gave a different explanation. nothing to doas with americans realizing anything and everything to do with world pressure. what did he mean when he said world pressure? what was he talking about? y

narratives in the public domain. >> sean: the question is, without the investigations ongoing. congressman nunez, americansant to know more than anything else, the people who helped bring the investigation into hillary that were warned about the lies they were using to obtain fisa warrants and applications, we were also spreading misinformation to "the washington post" and using it to bludgeon a sitting president, your intel committee says no collusion, can you please explain those people who did these things they are going to be held accountable? >> we aren't going to stop until we get the entire truth out. i want to follow what mr. meadows said, i think it's important. what we learned today about judicial watch papers and email is you not only had this circular reporting where you had fbi looking to a reporter running a story, the fbi using the story, we now have something new in the chamber. you have reporters spying on people and taking it to the fbi. probably in exchange for favors. >> sean: your thoughts. >> the big thing we've got to understand the is there were a number of players at the top levels

tremendous amount of truth to, which is that though we are taught this civil-rights narrative that by the mid-1950's, americans began to recognize that jim crow segregation and that mass ,isenfranchisement was wrong was morally wrong, and that these sort of struggles and movements were able to persuade americans in how wrong it was, which then led to the brown v. board of education decision in 1954, which of course declared segregated schools unconstitutional, which we are taught led to the civil rights act of 1957, which we are taught led to the civil rights act of 19 to q4, which we are taught led to the voting rights act of 1965, that people recognized, that powerful americans, americans writ large, recognized that this problem was bad and that essentially in recognizing that through the civil rights movement, america decided to fix it. that america has always essentially been moving forward through this sort of moral compass toward greater equality and freedom. period wassult, that precisely that history moving forward. malcolm gave a different explanation. dostated it had nothing to with americans realizi

american public. he needs to help shape this narrative. he is saying, he has to stop being constrained by the rules. the rules have changed. the trump administration keeps changing the rules. they're not playing by any set of rules. and you keep assuming the rules will save the day. >> we've shown this in our reporting. there were other prosecutors operating in similar situations who did speak much more directly. ken starr thought it was in his purview to go to congress, sent his spokesman on "nightline." and then at every turn, he had a choice and he lied. viewers know. we've been talking about it. lying in public is not a crime. this president, the "washington post," has said, made false, misleading or lying statements more than ten times more than any president. so ken starr was saying something broader than criminal analysis. he was saying you're the presidential liar. you should know that. >> i'm tired of everyone saying, you elected us to power. we chose someone to run the investigation but none of us have any power to do anything about this man. this is when you see the erosion of the republi

tell a story to explain to the american people what happened and to turn the mueller report into a narrativen understand. i think through testimony in open session, i'm concerned about the hearings or interviews that are going been behind closed doors because the american people are not getting a real sense of what's happening here. i do think the president and his team are making a judgment that they can fight with congress basically and slow down this process of getting the facts out to the american people through a variety of claims that they are making with respect to executive privilege and these immunity assertions they are using. >> stone wall ing is slowing don the process. good to have you aboard. >>> just revealed text messages between paul manafort and sean hannity. saying he would never quote give up the president for a plea deal with mueller. dear lexus, it is with a very gratesful heart that i write you about your amazing employees. eric volunteered to come to my rescue that evening. ...to a mom, these things really matter. from this day forward, i'm a lexus customer for life.

>> i think culturally for a long time we've created and perpetuated a narrative that there's one pathway to achieving the american it's a four-year university. there's very little opportunities for somebody who wants to tw the vocational routn the technical route because all of the money pushes you into the four-year system. one of the things we're working on is opening up pell grants and making them available to high quality shorter term programming. steve: this skill gap is exactly what she's working on and just this week e sh tweeted, today we announce 930,000 new training and apprenticeship opportunities. and next week in north carolina she cochairs the second american workforce policy advisory board meeting along with wilbur ross. the fact that this administration is pushing ahead with a serious proworker policy agenda which the establishment media obsessed with scandal and russia madness basically ignores. this is just really suc substan, what they're doing here to try to deliver on the president's promise, jobs jobs jobs. >> this is where it's at. this, i think, not just this election, this is the 2022 ele

as the polls show the american people are kind of tired of that narrative.r of 2018. it is not working tonight in florida and across the nation as well. >> the president's approval numbers in florida are similar to the national numbers, quinnipiac shows him with a 44% approve in florida, 51% disapprove. nationally quinnipiac shows 42% approve, 53% disapprove. jonathan capehart, with numbers like that, that the president has had throughout his presidency, what i watch for in trump speeches is what did he say tonight to change the mind of a voter who currently disapproves of him, because if he doesn't do that, he cannot possibly win. >> right. but, lawrence, that would require the president to do something that he's never done since inauguration, and that is to broaden his support beyond his very narrow base. instead, the president has done the exact opposite. he is talking to the people who brought him to the dance. that's what he did on june 16, 2015 when he first heard the applause over mexicans or rapists and that is what he did in florida today. here is m

was one of the individuals who was a ball and concocting the false narrative to get us into iraq so. yes i think. i think the american people are very war weary and i don't think that it will bode well for the republicans if we end up in a shooting war with iran. meanwhile iran has revealed in a video that it has a large missile arsenal in a secret underground site the video shows the pre-launch maintenance and the launch of an iranian short range ballistic missile there on this missile program is one of the issues the u.s. has iran argues that it needs it for defensive purposes and that the program is not open for negotiations islamic nations president reiterated that iran does not seek nuclear weapons. a scientific capability in the field of nuclear power sufficient we don't seek nuclear weapons not because of u.s. sanctions because of ideology and religion. we have the means to counter u.s. pressure contrary to their propaganda i don't mean military means that we may use force if necessary. the idea that they threaten the united states is so utterly absurd that it's almost childlike the u.s. media has repeated tho

narrative. we know a town that is reinventing itself. the c-span cities tour for reno, nevada this weekend on american history tv. working with table affiliates as we explore the american story. in 1990, barbara bush was the speaker at a college in massachusetts. -- which contravenes what we have been taught over the last four years. despite the controversy, mrs. bush spoke for the 600 graduates. the commencement coincided with the washington summit meeting between the president and the russian president. minutes.5 >> >> henry directed
