five days later, five weeks later, woodward and bernstein would interview them. they'd be told the same thing. so they were actually writing about the fbi investigation that was through, but the fbi wasn't publishing its results, so it looked like the "washington post" was ahead of the fbi when all it was was reporting some of despite what i'm saying, i don't think it's denigrating the "post" to show that it was that. it didn't like to see the results of its investigation in the newspaper. but it was the newspaper's job before the election as possible. that's no small accomplishment, and i'm -- i'll be the first in line to recognize woodward and bernstein's accomplishment. regardless of whether felt leaked for self-serving reasons or the most principled one. my problem really is not the coverage in the summer and fall of 1972. it's in the book about the coverage because the book is where the fairytale starts. now i actually didn't get a chance to do this before completing my book, but i was recently in los angeles and went through the papers of alan pachula, dire

what actually happened is that woodward and bernstein replicated the fbi's investigation. the fbi

bernstein, where is it headed? i think we're aware of the statistic that says since world war ii no president has been re-elected when the unemployment rate was north of 7.4%. is it likely that 8.2 could get under 7.4 between now and november? >> absolutely not. you never know, but that is way outside anyone's forecast. the most optimistic forecast i've seen to have the unemployment rate trending down a bit below 8% by the end of the year. but frankly between now and then, absent some very important and necessary economic policies to generate more job growth, which gridlock will probably block, it's hard to see things change that much. >> let's talk about politics. this morning governor romney was quick to pounce on the jobs numbers and attack the president and his policies. take a look. >> the president's policies have not gotten america working again. and the president's going to have stand up and take responsibility for it. i know he's been planning on going across the country and celebrating what he calls forwa

bernstein you pointed out the adequatesy of jobs. after all the discussion about the marginal tax rates and incentives versus disincentives. fundamentally people aren't going to be able to work if jobs aren't available to them. and so while there's been much bally who about how we're going to great jobs here, we sit in a congress where we have yet to take up after more than 100 days of transportation bill that as the season eclipses and fundamentally the president's request of last september to have his bill taken up in terms of jobs is not -- mr. bernstein i'll ask you and then i have a question for dr.sterly also. what would the effect of passing the job's plan be for millions of americans that currently can't find a job. and then dr.sterly, the german system where they incentivize people staying in work where instead of paying unemployment they provide the company with direct subsidy to retain the person in that job instead of having them go outside to work. dr. bernstein? >> right. if i may poach on gene's question. we have a wor

bernstein how are you my friend? it is wednesday. welcome back everybody. it is a warm, muggy day. heat and humidity maybe a thunderstorm or two.

howard bernstein has the weather. >>> the last couple of mornings we were very muggy. today delightful. drier air has moved in. we'll enjoy it all day long so get ready for a beautiful mid summer day. here's your day planner. good visibility this morning. temperatures by lunch time as we take the weather graphic is going to go into the

howard bernstein. >>> pictures on facebook. cruised to baltimore. much more convenient than flying. >> what was the highlight? >> just being somewhere new, seeing new stuff. it was all very cool. >> the food is great on the cruise ship they say. how was it? >> it was quantity over quality. it was g. i don't know about great but it was good. just a lot of it. >> chocolate fountains? >> there's a ben & jerry's on board. let's get you moving. we have a couple of sprinkles. a little on the muggy side, too. the muggies are here with the high humidity and some sprinkles. bad hair day. monika, i can hear her screaming in the back already. we have temperatures which are going to be warmer than they had been. had an usually cool weekend. if we get enough sun, we'll be in the low 90s. a couple of sprinkles early and a couple of thunderstorms early this afternoon with winds out of the southwest for the most part at 5 to 10 miles per hour. want to show you the big picture. we've got some showers and clouds across areas, especially west virginia and ohio. see ho

. >>> olga breese is here, in for howard bernstein. more 90s in the forecast. >> we are heading back in that territory again. this is a repeat through the remainder of the week. looks like the first part of your fourth of july looks good during the day, but we are tracking shower activity and storm activity that could impact you in the afternoon. let's get through our tuesday. the day planner for today is starting to clear out. we have morning clouds but the conditions are improving. mainly sunny skies by noon. we'll zip out of the 80s into the 90s. with the dew point it is going to feel a little bit on the sticky side. 77 in the city center right now. headed for highs into the middle range 90s for tuesday and even

bernstein, welcome back. >> reporter: thank you. we have heat, we have humidity and a threat for a couple of storms this morning again this afternoon. let's get you started on this weapons, july 4th. we have cloudy skies looking all right, mostly cloudy, 77. a few minutes here before sunrise. by noon 94, we are going to heat up very quickly. heat advisory goes until 9:00. first things first, showers and storms this morning, you see them there south and east of pittsburgh. some of them have been sneaking in toward maryland and west virginia and almost across junction north of winchester here in frederick county, virginia. toward meyersville, heavier showers. all it have moving southeast.

bernstein, let's talk numbers today. >> 94. >> 94? >> 94.so it will be a little warmer. a few extra clouds kept a lid on temperatures getting too hot. we're looking at more hot weather today. average high is 89. we'll be a few degrees above that average. here's a look at the day planner. temperatures this morning at least in town are in the mid- 70s. we've seen a few try to drop toward the upper 60s but we're struggling now to get much lower. 93 by noon. there will be a few thunderstorms this afternoon, especially south of washington with those highs in the low to

bernstein the right. if you ask about what those reforms have done, they've probably increased labor force participation. particularly for say welfare mothers who didn't work, the incentive can only be positive going from welfare to earned income credit. the incentive the only positive to participating in the labor force. once you earn a little bit of money, 10,000 or $15,000, that's not when the disincentives strike. you can decrease productivity but increase the number of workers. if a second earner doesn't take a second job at $40,000, you've increased labor force participation but decreased output. i'm giving you a more complicated message, but the disincentives have moved up the income distribution. the same thing with the affordable care act that we were just discussing. we've moved away from the dissentiv in medicaid. i pointed out that the affordable care act will help the disabled to go to work. we're afraid of losing to medicaid. it's going to encourage more elderly people to retire now they can

people wanted to read it at that mont >> the people reporting were bob woodward and carl bernstein. >> usually if you have a story, it isn't exclusive for very long because everybody else jumps on it. but with watergate, i thought, if this is so great, where the hell is everybody else? >> there was this lull. the story would just disappear and nothing would happen and then woodward and bernstein would write a piece and it would flare up. >> no known reporter from the "washington post" is ever to be in the white house. is that clear? >> absolutely. >> never in the white house, no church service. >> what we did was a way to keep the story alive when they were trying to hush it up. >> i had lunch with katherine graham and she asked, when is the whole story going to come out? i said, because bob and carl kept it so concealed, maybe never. she said, in a very pained way, never? don't tell me never. to have the boss, the publisher, understand what we're doing and not just backing it but saying, go all the way. do not give up on this story, don't tell me that. and we really covered this like

happy birthday to howard bernstein. here's monika samtani.he has traffic momentarily. >> here he is, the old guy. >> thank you very much. >>> weather wise, let's talk about today. kind of a neat shot. we have a mix of clouds and breaks in there. we have a cool sky overhead. temperatures in town are running in the low 70s. had tremendous downpours yesterday evening across parts of fairfax, the district, son montgomery and even into -- southernment gomry and even into -- montgomery and even into privilege george's. mid-80s by noon. yesterday we didn't have much in the way of showers and storms. they were fairly isolated but look how this one just kind of blew up here at 7:20. at 9:20 it's barely budged. that's why some of the rain totals approach 3 inches and by 10:30 it was gone. this morning partly cloudy skies. temperatures in the 60s and low 70s but mid-70s along the bay in annapolis. cambridge 70. leesburg this morning along with gaithersburg 68. so again a mix of sun and clouds. your highs upper 80s and even touching 90 in manassas. let's

howard bernstein, he has the details. howard, what should we expect? >> we could be seeing some strong thunderstorms in spots. other areas are seeing showers. it looks like the worst of it will stay well west of us. you may be reading stuff online and people saying another derecho. if there is one, it will be well west of us. i'm watching this area in kentucky. it may get into parts of virginia and southwest virginia but i think this would be the most damaging stuff. locally we're watching a severe thunderstorm. they've put a tornado warning out on it. this is in mineral -- when i say they, the national weather service. watching the storm which is now coming through kaiser headed toward romney. this is doppler indicated. storms got some rotation but i want you to take this seriously. again till 12:30 for grant and mineral counties here. this is route 50. we've got route 220 coming into 50. this is coming out of garrett county in that direction moving southeast at 25 to 30 miles per hour. tornado warning till 12:30 and locally on live doppler 9000 hd, s

the senate has reacted to the very good journalistic work of woodward and bernstein. karl bernstein and bob woodward in the summer and fall of 1972 kept the watergate story alive. they have been digging hard. they, in fact, brought out information about the dirty tricks operation. much of this was a product of their own investigative work. some of it was what they were being told by mark felt, the associate director of the fbi who was known as deep throat and his identity has been named, not the -- the undercover source in 2005. you have a lot going on. the senate gets into the act. and when the senate starts to investigate, a couple of things happen. first of all, john dean becomes the first insider to claim that the president was involved in the coverup. up to this point nobody has said that with any credibility. and he's going to do it on tv because the senate has decided to televise the watergate hearings. so dean's testimony is extraordinarily important and you ckacan watch sort of a dramc moment when the senator howard baker who represents the minority asks dean

the story would just disappear and nothing would happen and then woodward and bernstein would write a piece and it would flare up. >> no known reporter from the "washington post" is ever to be in the white house. is that clear? >> absolutely. >> never in the white house, no church service. >> what we did was a way to keep the story alive when they were trying to hush it up. >> i had lunch with katherine graham and she asked, when is the whole story going to come out? i said, because bob and carl kept it so concealed, maybe never. she said, in a very pained way, never? don't tell me never. to have the boss, the publisher, understand what we're doing and not just backing it but saying, go all the way. do not give up on this story, don't tell me that. and we really covered this like local reporters would have. if you've seen the movie "all the president's men," you see the non-glamorous nature of this shoe leather endeavor. >> it was a tribute to the importance of careful reporting. when they started, they had no idea, none, where this story would lead. >> in the press room it was wall-t

. >>> olga breese is in for howard bernstein. people have names that fit their jobs. olga breese is the greatest name for a meteorologist. >> luck ever the draw. i would like a little bit of a breeze. it's muggy and sticky and steamy outside. the moisture that hit the ground gave us a little bit of flash flooding overnight. clouds are still around so the moisture is trapped close to the surface. there are patches of fog as well so take that precaution if you're getting out this morning during the early hours. the forecast today will feature a peek of sunshine occasionally but for the most part we're going to be partly sunny to mostly cloudy through midday. we'll hold off on our rain opportunities for right now. the moisture has moved to the east but we're expecting later on this afternoon to pull in some showers and maybe some more of these thunderstorms by the time we get to the 4:00 hour. temperatures, though, today should make it into the middle range, 80s. 386, 87 degrees at reagan national airport by about the 4:00 hour. then later on in the evening, that's when

and david bernstein for "the boston phoenix" who's covered romney for a long time. he broke this story back in 2007 when he wrote that romney was still listed as bain's owner long after he supposedly left the company. thank you both for joining me, first of all. >> thank you. >> david, let me start with you. how can romney own a company but not have any responsibility for it? is that possible? >> sure, it's possible. and he does say that. what's been kind of odd is that he and bain are both now saying he totally split ties in february of 1999 and that it was just paper work and the complexity of the corporate structure and suddenness of him leaving is why it doesn't appear that way on paper for another two and a half to three years. and that's clearly not true. as a matter of fact, and this was referenced that that clip you shows of shannen o'brien in that debate, but in august of 2001 two and a half years after he left for utah, he held a press conference. mitt romney held a press conference to announce the decision he was going to cut ties with bain and leave the

while bernstein is a world- renowned chef, she's aware of how her cooking choices can impact the business. >> bone marrow has become somewhat more expensive, and i want to split those bone marrow, which is more expensive because i don't have one of the machines to split bones. so i asked my butcher to do it. but what i want to serve it with is stir-fried rice, which obviously is not an expensive dish whatsoever. >> i look at it as there's too many high-cost items on this menu and not enough... there's needs to be balance, obviously. you look at the heirloom tomato salad. it has baratta cheese, which is extremely expensive; it has heirloom tomatoes, which are a fortune; and baby argula, which is organic. so, for instance, that dish, where other restaurants would be making money on it, we're not necessarily doing so. >> reporter: the wine list plays a big role in any restaurant's business. it's a lot easier to control costs behind the bar than compared to the kitchen. but focusing exclusively on margins may not be the recipe for long-term success. >> if we were to put things on the menu tha

so let me introduce bob woodward and carl bernstein. >> you're good. we want you to come up at the very end for a picture. so, stay close. >> how is it that you're writing together again? what kind of tensions? >> can you all hear now? i said it felt good. it was the usual tensions. and it worked creatively, i think. at one point i used the word cravin in a line, in a paragraph and woodward call immediate and said you can't put that in there. we fought over that a little bit, but it worked. a kind of complimentary process. >> why did it work from the beginning? >> because we had a different emphasis working. i don't know. maybe gordon libby -- waiting for his moment. we just look at the world a little differently. there was a sense of loving reporting. we were both unmarried, very young. we had the running room from the editors and ben bradley, keep going at this story. don't give it up. and that is -- bud krogh was talking about the liberating experience of going to jail. it's liberating to work for bradley. it's the opposite of jail. >> more about th

bernstein, where is it headed? i think we're aware of the statistics that since world war ii, no president's been re-elected when the rate has been north of 7.4%. is it likely that 8.2 could get under 7.4 between now and november? >> absolutely not. you never know, but that is way outside anyone's forecast. the most optimistic forecast i've seen to have the unemployment rate trending down a bit below 8% by the end of the ye year, important policies to generate more job growth. it's hard to see things change that much. >> this morning, governor romney was quick to attack the president and his policies. take a look. >> the president's policies have not gotten america working again. and the president's going to have stand up and take responsibility for it. i know he's been planning on going across the country and celebrating what he calls forward. well, forward doesn't look a lot like forward. to the millions and millions of families that are struggling today in this great country. doesn't have to be this way. america

howard bernstein is leer. this is sort of our transitional day before it gets really nice out. >> but the nice weather comes from one day and then the heat marches on big time. >> as long as we see the sun. i just need to see the sun just for a couple of minutes. >> you're going to get that. >> just the sun. that's all i ask for. >> low maintenance right here. very easy to satisfy. >> you know that's a lie. >> we'll take care of that. just call me pinocchio. weather wise we've got good weather for you to start this tuesday morning. this afternoon, though, we may see a few thunderstorms but we'll see some sunshine. jessica, we will see some sunshine. >> thank you, sir. >> let's see the day planner here. we have temperatures this morning which are generally in the low to mid-70s out there. one or two spots have dipped into the 60s. look how quickly we warm up. 93 by noon. we may get to 95 today with enough sunshine. winds out of the northwest 10 to 15 and the threat for a few thunderstorms this afternoon. the da

. >> howard bernstein fills us in. >> it's a heat advisory. saturday will be the worst day heat-wise, and then relief next week. 80 right now. we'll be in the mid-90s by lunchtime, and near 100 for a high today with 98 degrees at 5:00 p.m. slight chance to see a storm this afternoon, kind of like we've been doing. had a couple of storms overnight. some loud ones with lots of lightning. these guys have the warning this morning. well, the rain has fizzled out entirely. look at these temps. 70 in martinsburg but near 80 in winchester. 82 in annapolis. 81 across the bay. we're 80, heat advisory start as noon. let's go to monika here at 6:00 a.m. with a look at the traffic. >> sounded like a broken record this week telling everybody if you approach an intersection that's dark, treat it as a four-way stop. it's still that situation today. you have about 25 to 30 signals out in montgomery county. police are directing only at major intersections. 270 is nice and light. a lot of people took the week off from july 4th into the weekend. you are seeing th

richard bernstein is joining us now.hey said things today have worsened in terms of sentiment, what's your take on the fed today? >> i don't think the fed had to do qe 3 because we have a 150 ten year. if they want lower interest rates, i think europe has gotten them for us. but the other thing though in terms of the action you're seeing today, is people time and time again are waiting for the government whether it be monetary fiscal policy to bring us back to where we were. that's not going to happen. we're on the downside of a credit bubble. any time you see monetary and fiscal policy go against reflags of the credit bubble the markets get upset, that will take a little transition period to work that out. >> so what will it take? >> when you have a 150 ten year, it's hard to argue the stoke is not under values and pricing in bad things. if you didn't like it at the 3% ten year, you have a be very bearish not to like it. i think sentiment could not be better. equities are no longer the asset class of choice. it's corpor

bernstein, heat or no today? >> not today. normal july heat. upper 80s. we can deal with that. >> compared to 12 degrees hotter than that like we have been recently. >> this might be the hottest month in washington history back to the 18 70s. so there. let's get you going with the look at the day planner. i don't think you'll need umbrellas in most areas today although an isolated shower will be possible for mid to late afternoon. by noon you'll see temperatures going to be pushing into the mid-80s. this morning mid-70s in town. some 60s north and west with 86 by noon. 5:86 with an isolated shower or storm. satellite radar nice and quiet, there is a little shower forms in the delaware bay. other than that, we are cool in cumberland and 59 in west virginia. open the windows and enjoy. on the bay a lot warmer. bay temperatures in the 80s. annapolis is 78. 71 in cambridge. charlie is back, he is about 65 degrees there this morning after a couple of weeks off. 67 in la plata and your temperatures this afternoon going well up in the 80s. monica cant, 5:31, goo

. >> what do you say to people that say wootoodward is a better reporter and bernstein is a better writer? >> brilliant sentences, brilliant paragraphs. then there is time i come up with the information. i think it really -- that's -- >> is that your favorite question, bradley? >> yeah. >> the collaboration, yeah, but there is real collaboration. you have to -- i mean in the end when you work with somebody like carl who is so resourceful and so aggressive and so tough minded, you are humbled because you see -- i mean i quite honestly come into the office at 8:00 or 9:00 and carl would be there. didn't eat dinner. was just churning on the story. there is, you know, we love reporting. i mean there's definitely no question he's the better writer than i am. >> again, there's a lot of reversal. >> okay. finally, so this was when you were 29, 30 years old. you'll never see a story this good again. >> who knows? who knows? >> you know, i go out and i move that flower pot in the backyard every now and then just hoping that there is somebody in the back. >> bob is lonely. contact me. there is also

howard bernstein's birthday. a check of the news before you go right now. d.c. mayor vincent gray will be hit with a lot of questions today about the growing political scandal surrounding his 2010 campaign. a third person has now pleaded guilty. it happened yesterday in the federal probe. prosecutors say she was part of a $650,000 illegal shadow campaign. >>> we could get autopsy results in the mysterious death of a winchester star reporter. 48-yard sarah greenhalgh was found dead inside her burning home in upperville, virginia. police believe it's a homicide. >>> a little bit of an embarrassing moment for bryce harper last night. pop fly. lost it in the lights. the ball is behind him. the national league still won 8- 0. >> the shoes loot really hot. >>> cbs this morning begins at the top of the hour. learn why one pennsylvania city is slashing every worker's paycheck to minimum wage. >>> a full check of traffic and weather we come back. stay with us. + gldz i dare you. >> from pertussis to weddings. the cdc is looking out for you. >> this is hysterical. they pu

meteorologist howard bernstein live on the weather terrace.s see temperatures what in the 780s howard? >> 70 mike. >> it's soupy. >> a sticky 75 at that. the humidsity is up. quiet this morning here. although in reidville an inch of rain overnight. southern st. mary's also was feeling that. nothing severe but a loud heavy rain making thunderstorm. here's a look at the day planner this tuesday. some clouds out there and they're mixed. some hazy cloudiness. 75 and mostly cloudy skies at national. 83 by noon. isolated shower can't be ruled out then and we'll see spotty showers and storms this afternoon and highs in the mid- to upper 80s. there are the storms and you can see them and with the lower part of the bay in the last half hour and weakening too around crisfield now. not as much lightning and not as much heavy rain. so we'll be watching that. your temps, they're in the 70s. and 60s west and southwest of town. but it is muggy going into the 80s and just keep the umbrella handy just in case. better chance of storms tomorrow. your seven day f
