. >> let's talk about another topic that's of interest to the cbc this week.bers want o have a friend in the white house and a friend in the oval office. members of the congressional black congress turned down a meeting with. >> translator: they're show boating and actually -- it's obvious that they had no intention of ef sitting with the president. in fact, they called the invitation a social gathering, which nowhere in my letter did it ever say that was it so shade they're han -- don't they have to meet in the middle somewhere to get things done, as she says for her own consistents? >> there's a saying in washington that to have friends, you have to be a friend. and president trump, especially this week has shown he has a hard time being a friend to most of the people in this country. he effort to kill health care will hurt people throughout every cbc district. it doesn't matter if you're in rural georgia or if you're in the center of baltimore. so coming to see him this week i think would have confused a whole lot of people. as for ms. manigault, she said w

, quote, honorable omarosa managault, in charge of black community outreach, was extended to all 49 cbc members but the group is reported as being reluctant to participate in a photo op that the president could use to show solidarity with black sloeters. their policy interests such as voting rights have been either ignored or in the case of criminal justice reform rejected by the white house since first meeting with the cbc in march. joining me now is democratic congressman gregory meeks new york. congressm congressman, three weeks after the election then president trump called me and said he wanted to get together, we've debated and fought for 30 years here in new york and i said only if he would meet with all the civil rights leaders. never heard back from him since the honorable miss managault but it seems like they just wanted a photo op but i wouldn't do t the caucus said the executive committee they had an extensive thing they laid out when they met saying you said during the campaign, president trump, that black americans had nothing to lose, here is what we had to lose, he has n

cbc writes back and says no, he is the threat for the murder of an inmate. he st. going out of state. >> that's not why you are in level 6. >> that's why my out of state was denied. it says right there. in your own words. out of state transfer denied. inmate is a threat to security. >> okay. so, we don't need to argue about that. what i'm going to do is a special review for you, just like i said and change the wording. listen to me. are you going to listen? listen to me. this is a committee. this is a committee. >> give me my sheet so i can appeal it. >> i haven't done it. i just finished telling you i have to type it up. correct? >> that's not the way -- >> yes, it is. >> can i show you how it needs to be done. can i show you? >> no. daniel -- listen to me, daniel. once i get all the stuff done, i will send up a hearing notice for you to sign. within 48 hours of that hearing notice, that's how it's done. >> can i show you something else? >> no, i don't need to hear anything else. >> a transfer according to your policy, you're supposed to bring me here and read to

we went to the white house on behalf of the cbc.ot heard responses, haven't met with any of the cabinet members, so we're not interested. they may get one or two or three members to go over to the white house for individual meetings, but as a congressional black caucus, there was just no interest and the will wasn't there to go over to the white house to meet with president trump. >> and you mention the policy document you left with the white house. give us a sense of, a quick summary of some of the most important policy items that were in that agenda item, that agenda document. >> we talked about hbcus, talked about health care, talked about cdbg, how to restore inner-city communities, talked about summer jobs, how they improve the high school graduation rate and reduce crime in specific areas. we talked about voting rights. we talked about civil rights, consent decrees. if you look everything happening in the department of justice, can't say they take rights of minorities seriously from jeff sessions' act of rolling back smart on

it's become abundantly clear that a conversation with the entire cbc would not be entirely productive. white house press secretary sean spicer tells me this morning the president enjoyed meeting with the cbc leadership and looked forward to a follow-up meeting with the entire group adding that the president hopes to continue to work with the cbc on several issues that they previously identified. matt and savannah. >> thank you. >>> the special election losses that we have been covering, democrats' losses, have democrats scrambling to regroup. and as finger-pointing begins, directly at house minority leader nancy pelosi. nbc's kristen welker is on capitol hill with that part of the story. kristen, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning to you, matt. house minority leader nancy pelosi has served in congress for three decades so she is no stranger to a fight. after the defeat in georgia more and more democrats say their party needs a new message and a new leader to deliver it. overnight president trump taking a victory lap in iowa. after republicans won four out of four special e

just because of these antics by the cbc, it doesn't mean they can't get their issues heard. i'll meet individually with members of the congressional black caucus. and it's a commitment the president made. for 2 1/2 years we talked about hick fighting for the african-american community. i can tell you if you look at the major inner cities, you look at detroit and chicago and new orleans with democratic leadership, and they are in bad situations, bad conditions. they need took the he table fighting for their constituents. but the on way to get heard is by coming to the table. charles: maxine waters has been over the top with calls for impeachment of the president. certainly that's not the right way to start a dialogue or any sort diplomacy. >> they decided to resist for four years. if you live a district represented by the congressional black caucus and your members refuse to do their job, i would rethink and reconsider my support of those members. charles: we saw what happened to betsy devos at florida a&m. a lot of people in the black community. from day one you are told rep

effort to dismantle affordable care act is moves that harm the c president trump met with members of cbc in march and according to richmond president has not followeded through on his promises. prompted aclu to file a lawsuit against the department and police chief. aclu xlaimz d.c. police made unconstitutional arrest used excessive force and denied foot and watt to people arrested. those protests were peaceful that day and small group caused property damage. aclu was critical of controversial crowd control tactic used that day known as kettleing. >> these repeated examples of unlawful police conduct led d.c. council to intact the first assemblies act. a former police officer was aquited in the shooting of a plaque man. >> it followed days of up rising across the city. police are beefing up patrols as mayor calls for peaceful protests. . we the jury final the defendant not guilty. lamb, i wanted to thank you for your jury service in this matter. >> emotions ran high after a jury aquit aid former milwaukee police officer in the deadly shooting of a black man. former officer dominique haga

democratic congressman, member of cbc himself, emanuel cleaver. good to have you. you think of your old colleagues not meeting with the president. >> i don't know about two requests that we turned down. we did meet with the president, at least our executive committee met with the president on march 22nd. it was a good meeting and during that meeting we presented the president through our chair representative richmond, a list of issues we were concerned about and like to work with him on. so when the letter came from omarosa inviting the cbc back, all of the members, it was declined not as an act of disrespect but, we thought that we would have gotten a response from the president from the earlier meeting with the executive committee. additionally, i think i need to add, that, what we did, we're talking about leader of the free world, realizing he didn't have time to meet with every group. we requested opportunity to meet with appropriate cabinet members to further deal with issues that we had left with him. none of that happened. interpretation of the letter, this

if the cbc want me with the president over their own reasons and democrats won't recognize his presidency, how do you expect to work with democrats? >> meghan: i'm curious from a political spectator to see all president trump is going to take his twitter account against rand paul and people that aren't going to vote on this bill. he threatened to go to the primaries were people who did and congress. >> sandra: to reiterate, mike emanuel is reporting that at least three senators are going to say there are against this bill. president trump is making a big policy announcement last night in iowa. why he says immigrants coming to the u.s. should be prepared to pull their own weight. plus, good news for democrats, including hillary clinton. the new polls and fundraising totals showing the party heading in the wrong direction. the pain can really be a distraction. pain is sometimes in my hands, right before a performance especially. only aleve has the strength to stop minor arthritis pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. this is my pain. but i am stronger. aleve. all day strong. yeah, 'ca

however, cbc, bureau is going to make ultimate decisions. do you have any other questions for us at this time? no? you want to go to level five? >> level two or level three. >> you want to go to gp? well, according to your file you can, so we'll see. okay? thank you. have a good day, all right? >> thank you. >> this is your paperwork. >> certainly he deserves to be moved because he has had clear conduct. since he's been here, he hasn't done anything. you know, he hasn't hurt anyone. and he is so small that he can slip his handcuffs, and he's shone us that. >> according to his file he's set up to go conduct -- his conduct report no behavior log notation. paperwise, he's eligible to be released from level six. >> our feeling is that we'd like to see them try to make it in a less restricted area, you know. that is our hope. >> shiverdecker's behavior in the coming weeks will help to determine whether or not he's transferred to a lower level. but even inmates in the prison's least restricted level two dorm still get out of control. >> who said t

. >> cbc flag news at 10:00 was silent except for breaking news a nounments run amuck. >> during thosee of technical melt downs, news man hue edwards sat calmly with only the occasional facial flinch. tweeted one viewer, kind of absorbing, like a lava lamp. after so much bad news lately, tweeted someone else, wasn't it lovely, sort of time out from all of the craziness. no matter how many times they played the graphic saying breaking news, the news remained broken. so editor blamed it on a technical system crash, second before air time. the veteran anchor told radio four? >> there was so much going on in the director's gallery, that nobody booth towards tell him of course that he was actually on air. >> i have to say, i tried to behave myself. >> he played with his mouth, he scribbled, prompting everyone to ask the same question. what did you start writing? help? i think he was writing down his order for dinner. >> i was listening to all of this pandemonium in the background. >> we do know one guy who would specially appreciate four minute of silence. bbc. >> where are you from? >> bbc

she was on cbc this morning with gayle king. should she not expect much. >> i think that for me this isn't about promoting my viewpoints. i wasn't elected by the american people to be president. i think my father is going to do a tremendous job. and i want to help him do that. but i don't think that it will make me a more effective advocate to constantly articulate every issue publicly where i disagree. and that's okay. that means that i'll take hits from some critics who say that i should take to the street. >> does she take a hit for this? >> people have talked about this divide in the white house as an ideological one. there is that divide. sometimes each side wins. i think the more operative divide has to do with the people who are there for donald trump, who know him for a long time, for more than a year. most people at the white house have known him for six months or eight months and who in the end will always be fighting for him. there's no doubt that ivanka and jared are still in that camp. it's other in that orbit and t

the cbc turned down a private meeting with the president a few days ago, citing issues brought to his attention in the first meeting yet to be addressed. what are they trying to accomplish? >> i was in the first meeting because impart of congressional black caucus executive committee and understand we took that meeting very seriously. i mean, we presented the president with a 130 page policy document that identified problems, also listed a series of solutions with specific pieces of legislation. and we asked for a response. we asked meetings, he said he would do that, we have had absolutely no response from the wlo white house until we received a letter from a member of his staff asking for all 49 members of congressional black caucus to go over. if six people from the executive committee went over and the white house was unresponsive, what kind of meeting would we have with 49 people that wouldn't be more than a photo op? so it didn't make sense. we asked the white house to please respond to the issues that we raised the last time we were there. >> i understand several of those issue

many people say a lot of those meetings are photo opportunities and the cbc wants more. >>> well, republicane meeting at this moment to finally get a look at that health care bill after weeks of secrecy. and new details about the proposed legislation could start trickling in any moment. we're expecting a full draft of the bill to be released in about an hour and a half. our stellar team of reporters and analysts are here to break down what it means for you, your health care, and your wallet. this matters. kasie hunt, you first. live on the hill. what have lawmakers been telling you head into this meeting? >> reporter: hi, steph. a lot of speculation about what this final package is going to look like. we sort of have a sense of the broad contours of the bill and of what we're going to be looking for. i think a key focus here is going to be medicaid. we're getting a sense that the senate bill is going to have deeper cuts to medicaid over the long term, although they may be phased in more slowly. what does that do? it helps the politics of this for the people that mitch mcconnell, the senate r

tom perry from cbc news. mr.etary, canada's foreign minister gave a speech this week in which he said the u.s. has come to question the very worth of its mantle of global leadership, and i wonder if you could comment on that and also talk about whether a message like that is going to have any impact on the canada/u.s. relationship. mr. foreign minister, did you convey that message to the secretary, and if you could respond in both english and french. >> so let me just first comment, we had a very productive meeting with the foreign minister, and i appreciate the opportunity to discuss issues. i think it's very clear from president trump's most recent trip to the middle east, to israel, to the vatican, nato, i think the president has shown very important role in international leadership. and in particular, i'd just highlight we look forward to within my area of working with on the terrorist financing center in the gulf with our partners in saudi arabia and others combating terrorism, which is very important to us.

. >> why would the cbc not want to meet with the president?t that in just a few minutes. stick around. it comes when your insurance company says they'll only pay three-quarters of what it takes to replace it. what are you supposed to do? drive three-quarters of a car? now if you had liberty mutual new car replacement™, you'd get your whole car back. i guess they don't want you driving around on three wheels. smart. with liberty mutual new car replacement™, we'll replace the full value of your car. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance. but when we brought our daughter home, that was it. now i have nicoderm cq. the nicoderm cq patch with unique extended release technology helps prevent your urge to smoke all day. it's the best thing that ever happened to me. every great why needs a great how. dearthere's no other way to say this. it's over. i've found a permanent escape from monotony. together, we are perfectly balanced. our senses awake. our hearts racing as one. i know this is sudden, but they say...if you love something set it f
