d.c. appellate court said you won, meaning d.c. can't ban completely owning guns. then d.c., the mayor, said we're going to appeal to the supreme court. >> exactly. >> and that was a tactical mistake well known now by the d.c. mayor, city council, because it opened up which a lot of people did not see coming, supreme court made a ruling in 2018 in the landmark heller case that said what? >> the supreme court, my favorite quote. there's a lot of stories, interesting stories to get to the supreme court, but my favorite story about the supreme court is that i didn't know anything about the law, i didn't know how the decision might go, but when they announced that justice scalia was going to read the decision, and i like to -- this is my quote. here is what scalia said. we are not here today to erase the second amendment from the united states constitution. unquote. i didn't know anything but i know we had won something. >> god rest his soul, justice scalia. >> rest in peace. that's what he will be famous for forever. >> and what was it like, i never asked you this. yo

and in october the d.c.ity council passed a law that said you were no longer allowed to own any kind of a firearm in d.c. but you cannot buy one after that, but you could be grandfathered in by coming down to the police station and registering your firearm. >> think about that. mr. heller: that did not sound right to me, so i said why would i want to register it? it is because they want my address. they want to come and get my gun and full confiscation. i said no, so i had some options. i could turn the gun into the police station. i could throw it in the dumpster, or i could go to jail. i took my gun out of the district to my brother's house and said there has got to be a fourth option. >> and so, you had this gun, and you saw -- for those of you from normal parts of the country -- [laughter] mr. heller: america. >> there were, until dick heller fought this fight and one in 2008, this is the 10th anniversary and what we are celebrating today, the 10th anniversary of restoring our second amendment rights. [a

applied to d.c.. what he is talking about is when this couple went to chicago and started a new lawsuit two years later in this report, based on the heller decision, made it for the entire country that we always have the right to bear arms. [applause] fascinating is that 15 minutes after justice scalia said we are not here to a race the second amendment, -- the the secondse amendment, the lawsuit was filed in the city of chicago that same day. that started the ball rolling. >> those of you know that the battles on gun control, constitutional issues of gun control are not over. timeand i complain all the about this crazy registration system. we have to go to the government every time we want to buy a gun. but this is our time to look back and say this is the first time in the united states government that the supreme court ruled that we as individuals have a natural, not given right to defend ourselves and our home. dick, what have you seen in the hasears since how this impacted our country and impacte

d.c., houses clifford berryman's popular political cartoons from the early 20th century. his work is still relevant 100 years later and is featured in the journal of the white house historical association. we take a look at his cartoons. >> clifford berryman was one of the most widely renowned political cartoonists in the first part of the 20th century. 100 years ago in washington, d.c., most people would have known his name or been familiar with his artwork. he was born in a small town in kentucky in 1869. he was a self taught artist. when he was 17, he moved to washington, d.c., and took a job at the u.s. patent office. political cartooning continued to be his passion, and on a whim, he submitted to drawings to the washington post, and to his complete and utter astonishment, the post published those drawings. many years later, he talked about how he avoided the newspaper for several days because he was afraid they might charge him for advertising. instead, they paid him what to him, at t

and washington, d.c., called the epa. the president, on five or 28, early in his time -- february 28, early in his time, in the roosevelt room, he signed an executive order instructing me, scott, go fix that. go take care of this waters issue. that is what we are doing. no longer a puddle, a dry creek bread -- bed, will be called a water of the united states. [applause] mr. pruitt: make no mistake about it, it is not about water quality. it is not about that. it truly is about power, jurisdiction, and oversight. 1972ou imagine congress in if they wrote out that law ,alled the clean water act looking at that definition and say, if we adopt this law we wanted to be interpreted to include age right creek bed, puddle, or drainage ditch, answer would be, no way. justice scalia, alternate opinion, we are going to be inspired by him as we make a decision on the definition. that definition is coming this year. the president has shown tremendous courage. >> before we get to an overview of what you have accomplished at epa, i want

the clerk: the speaker's rooms, washington, d.c. february 26, 2018. i hereby appoint the honorable dan new house to act as speaker pro tempore -- dan new houses to act as speaker pro tempore on this day. signed, sprine, speaker of the house of representatives. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to the order of the 2018, the nuary 8, chair will now recognize members from lists submitted by the majority and minority leaders for morning hour debate. the chair will alternate recognition between the parties. all time shall be equally allocated between the parties and in no event shall debate p.m. ue beyond 1:50 each member other than the majority and minority leaders and minority whip shall be limited to five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from louisiana, mr. abraham, for five minutes. p.m. mr. abraham: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today to honor one of the hardest working men on capitol hill. joe. joe's 84th birthday was saturday, february 10. he's been cutting hair in the house for 47 years. joe embodies the principles of hard work, dedicat

i made another point about what's going on in d.c. why, people look at d.c. and they're so angry, especially the democrats right now. what's the message for the midterm elections? it's like we hate trump and russia and that's it. >> every single thing that this president does, every single thing that kellyanne conway does. instead of focusing on real things that affect real people. they have no agenda. they have to be hyperfocused on the scandals on the left and the right, the swamp has to be focused on scandal because they have no message. trump is helping the american people. so could his words be nicer? say things a little better? yes, he could. at the end of the day, what impacts real people? unemployment. that's jobs. that's immigration. border security. national security. all things the president is doing and doing well. yes, could he say things better, yes, he can. come on. >> i'm not going to not agree, but beating women -- steve: we don't have time. we can come back to it. we'll do a little more. but we've got to go a break now and come to it in a se

in baltimore and washington, d.c.der how you're writing and reading and how you're consumers of essence are really looking at this moment and what are opportunities for the mayors in this room. >> thank you very much. >> i'm honored to be here at this conference and especially here with these two mayors. when i think about essence and it was an exciting moment when essence returned from our 12 years of being public company and now back to being independently owned. they were over 7 billion impressions. the community of women, black women of color were over the moon. for us at essence really show this excitement of action. we're going to take ownership and not wait for someone to do something for us. the equity discussion here and inclusion is critical. i'm proud of the work with the essence festival in new orleans with then founding mayor took what was an idea of the 25th anniversary of essence and make it an annual event that became the largest in the country attracting 500,000 people. when we faced our real point of

summit perhaps under the auspices of washington d.c. but are we at a point now where the g.c.c. is really broken. i don't think it's totally broken to the point of no return i think it's suffering suffered a huge blow but we have to remember that the g.c.c. as an entity never had such a strong political presence the g.c.c. always had of a decorative presence to do it you've seen always that political positions towards international and regional issues have always varied between various g.c.c. countries and they've been part of different. parties in different disagreements in the region we've seen for example that even before the arab spring there were the money many issues like their war on gaza for example that the israelis waged in two thousand and eight or other or other issues they've always been difference of opinion and very strong difference of opinion some countries in the region belong to if i might say even different camps when it comes to the outlook of the region how it should look at the g.c.c. has always been more of a social and economic body that kind of embodied

this is "kasie d.c." >>> welcome to "kasie d.c." we are live from washington every sunday from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. eastern. tonight, congress returns from winter break as students and teachers return to stoneman douglas high school. we'll hear from some of them, and congressman and former florida governor charlie crist. will anything happen this time? >>> and later, midterm madness. a legal fight is on to keep republican seats in republican hands. we are joined by congressman ryan costello of pennsylvania. >>> plus, is bob corker about to become a candidate again for his own seat? von hilliard brings us the murky state of play from memphis, tennessee. >>> but first, the mass shooting in parkland, florida, did not produce the same old gun debate. it has been the voices of students that have made this one different. they have organized marches, flooded the state house in tallahassee, and demanded action from elected officials. some are listening. florida's republican governor rick scott who has an a-plus rating with the nra announced a

so far no comment from anyone here at the russian embassy in washington d.c. but we are hearing perhaps appropriately have a social media post on facebook from a spokesperson for the russian foreign ministry really dismissing this indictment saying that it's absurd how could thirteen people in essence impacting the u.s. election obviously the indictment says there were more than thirteen but going on to point out that the u.s. spends billions of dollars on intelligence agencies counterintelligence and really dismissing that these people have been indicted these entities could have had the impact that this indictment lays out that the f.b.i. and the special counsel clearly believe they did now the u.s. president has visited survivors of a mass shooting at a school in florida donald trump has been visiting a hospital in fort lauderdale it's where many of the injured were taken after wednesday's attack on a high school in part two and a student it was cruz is accused of murdering the seventeen people who dominate the head of the f.b.i. is facing calls to resign a

in southeast d.c., we encounter a lot of violence. most of the time these things happen at night, but some in the daytime, too. our schools, we do take preventative measures and everything to stop that. we check bags at the door. at first we are like -- no, we don't want to do this. but then we realized that it is for our safety. we wanted to make sure that it continues and that nothing can ever slip up for these things to happen, like in school counseling for our students to our struggling with beer, -- counseling for our students fear,re struggling with bullying. bullying triggers emotions that makes a student want to bring a weapon to school, to protect themselves, or to your revenge for a person that did something to them. we just want to have a lot of preventative measures to be in the schools. also, outside of school, to make sure that nothing can happen to us while in school. >> hello, mr. president. thank you for having us. i am the mayor of the city of parkland. we have a great city. it has been one of the safest cities in am

indeed about his country so welcome to you both let me start with you mohammed you're in washington d.c. but obviously there is a job vacancy going in your country who should be considered one of the qualities that are needed to to fill haile mariam shoes. i think the ruling party. party faces a legitimacy crisis in the qualifications for the next leader who will take over from him has to be that someone who can reclaim that popular legitimacy but most importantly that can unite the party itself because there are deep fissures within the party in all saw someone who has the gravitas to unite the country jumpstart imagine a good political dialogue with the opposition including some of the people who are who just got released from from prison but you know obviously other leadership qualities in experience is important but those things are important to put the country by a corny a path toward a more sustainable. future mommy does he need to be in the drama i think. us you've noted in your report there the. government in this party has faced relentless protest at least since two thousand an

he skipped two other staples of the d.c.ial scene where an appearance by the president is usually routine, the alfalfa dinner and the white house correspondent's dinner. the white house says there is no decision that has been made yet about the president attending this year's white house correspondent dinner. >>> back with us now, eugene scott. good to have you back with us. a lot to break down here. but let's start with the president. are you surprised that he is now shifted gears and willing to appear at the gridiron dinner? do you think this is going to mark a shift in the white house's strategy for house it deals with journalists and the press at large? >> i'm slightly surprised because journalists are a group of people that trump and many of his top aides have not shown a lot of interest in socializing with, especially when you consider how they speak of people in the media industry when dealing with their administration and many of the challenges they are facing. on the other hand, i'm not incredibly surprised that the

this is "kasie d.c." ♪ >>> welcome to "kasie d.c."e are live every sunday from washington 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. eastern. tonight conflating tragedy and political expediency. plus, reports just in tonight of a new plea deal in the mueller investigation. >>> and later on, he was secretary of education under president obama. we'll get arne duncan's opinion on how to return safety to the school. this latest chapter has left students taking matters into their own hands because the adults in washington won't act. >>> but first, in the wake of tragedy, on thursday president trump sought to set the emotional tone for a nation coming to grips once again with a mass shooting. >> to every parent, teacher and child who is hurting so badly, we are here for you, whatever you need, whatever we can do to ease your pain. we are all joined together as one american family. and your suffering is our burden also. it is not enough to simply take actions that make us feel like we are making a difference. we must actually make that difference. >> the president t

wards in d.c. however actor our school, just a solution, we actually have checkpoints. when a student walks in the door we actually have metal detectors. and oftentimes i see that in urban education. we actually have an x-ray machine. students put their bags through. after this incident happened, a parent who didn't so much agree with it at first, sent me an email saying thank you, because now i see exactly what's happening. and so we oftentimes use that t.s.a. model. when a student comes in, we have somebody at the door greet them, to do a check-in, just to see how they feel. we have certain point people where i know this person's not feeling so well so they won't get past point one. they go through the metal detector. their bag goes through the machine. at the end of the day, just talking to my students riding over today, they say, well, i feel safe. and you come outside and talk about mental hospitals, our school is right across the street from a shutdown mental hospital. we have, you know, if y

and that -- if you went from charlottesville -- to d.c., d.c.burg, d.c. -- lynchburg back to washington and then back to charlottesville, that's pretty close to bein' 669 miles. >> reporter: it's quite a coincidence. so, police question elizabeth again. >> we asked her about that miles. and she said that they had gotten lost. >> reporter: that's pretty lost. >> yeah, pretty lost. >> reporter: that ring true to you? >> i mean, we're talking college kids. didn't put a lot of stock in that. >> reporter: plus, elizabeth is cooperating with police and agrees to give her fingerprints and blood. but it's a path of bloody of footprints in the haysom's front yard that's gotten the investigators' attention. the prints were revealed by luminol, a chemical that tests for the presence of blood. >> you have a set of prints that walk up to the driveway and end here at the driveway as if someone got in a car. >> reporter: just stop? >> they just stop. >> reporter: so, clearly, they got into something. but when investigator reid examines jens and elizabeth's ren

when i wrote the book, i was on the outskirts of washington, d.c., and i find that because of the proximity to the center of power, that that has an influence on your perspective, your view of things. and i was politically active at the time. so all of those things sort of made the book not only a memoir, an explanation of how someone could grow up in a family as i did, a family with very conservative values but very liberal political allegiances, and then end up becoming politically conservative. it also became a perspective of how i viewed issues through that political lens. so coming into our current situation here in lynchburg at liberty university, number one, it's an academic perspective. number two, since it's a private christian institution, the theological perspective came into play as well. and i think a lot of the issues that i talked about in the book where i had political solutions, i think i now look to more spiritual solutions particularly since the community that i've dealt with here -- not just at liberty university, but in lynchburg -- has really given me a different persp

he used a broem moving around washington, d.c. vehicles like this were fairly common in larger cities. we have a vision in our heads by so many western movies that everybody had a carjack ra carr the home. if you were walking by foot street cars were available. rural areas you probably had some kind of general purpose carriage, not necessarily a buggy that resembles this but a farm wagon to use to take into town or whenever you're going. you see this aspect used as a personal transportation and taxi services and for the president he would be at a certain station to use one of these. and next, a vehicle that belonged to another roosevelt, his cousin, franklin roosevelt, who would be presidents a few decades laeter. he preferred a horse drawn vehicle. it was left to a successor to motorize the white house fleet. he played no favorite. hed a electric, gas and steam powered car. from that time on, presidential transportation evolved quickly. the car behind us is the 1939 lincoln model k. one of the most significant presidential vehicl

paul manafort now facing a dozen federal felony charges in d.c. another dozen-and-a-half federal charges in virginia. he ran the trump campaign, starting in march 2016 for free. he's not the kind of guy that needs money. that was always a quirky detail about trump brigg on manafort, one, why is this guy running a presidential company? he's only been operating in politics in the former soviet union for the past 15 years, what's he doing now running a u.s. presidential campaign? and two, why is he working for free? well now say hello to the new dime. because now we've got a lot more of that plot. manafort makes that pitch for free in march 2016. here's what we now know is going on for manafort in the months leading up to march 2016. the new indictment pages 20 to 27 to be specific if you are going to read this before you go to bed tonight, they layout a scene of absolute financial desperation for paul manafort. we don't know why he was in a state of financial desperation, but we do see direct evidence of a scramble, a scramble by manafort on multipl

not just in washington d.c. but also. in tallahassee that demanding stricter gun legislation stricter gun laws we have heard president trance beating out in the past few days he said he would ask the justice department direct them to proceed with a ban on so-called bomb stocks the device that can be used on illegal weapons and that essentially turns them into machine guns but for some people that does not go far enough so let's listen them just. for security. to get. i want to listen in if the city were to get the gun i could reach out to pasture you could probably say the prayer would be appreciated thank you. probably more than a whole be you need you to be doing anything they could do that you have given them involved would you still didn't think that happened here in america that there's going to need to have a plan it's going to be agreed to that we're going to get america back on track we need to be with our children with the gold everybody else in the world their father i ask you i know then your holy spirit will c

i think people forget d.c.just not senators, you have communities that are struggling that need help and in sfir ration. one of the things that happened in that whole conflict, you are not, you are not the trash talker, whether they said the guy from under armor said trump is an asset, and you said, yeah, if you drop off the et. for a nontrash talker that was trash talking. >> yeah, that was a good one. but it was more so opportunity to he a little wittiness with it but hopefully drop the message we aren't rolling with it. >> but now your momma she says that's a little too close to cussing, son. >> yeah. the thing of it, i guess you call it a little out of character, but she was quick to call me out on it. i got strong women around me all the way around, so i can't stray too far. >> is there a danger, because it wasn't just you, lebron james called the president a bum, it was a pile on. but is it a danger that his r rhetoric starts to pull us all down? >> i think that's what we are guarding again. i think the p

satelli, this is the moisture we are tracking moving through washington d.c. d.c. as we teak.ture coming out of the ohio valley and western pennsylvania heading our way as well. the rest of tonight, light rain and drizzle, down to 39 in the suburbs and 44 philadelphia for the overnight low. future tracker 6, by 4:00 in the morning, poblght pockets of hean in the i-95 metro area. the heaviest by 8:00, skirting north of the city. reading, allentown and the poconos finding wet weather there. 3:30 tomorrow afternoon, clouds are breaking. clouds start to thin out, brighter skies by the tail end of the day tomorrow. what you expect on and off rain heavier overnight. poor drainage is a big concern and reduced visibility with the rain over head. up to 62. clouds to sunshine monday. 56. wednesday, the last day of february, warm with plenty of sun and 60 for the high. thursday, mostly cloudy with rain poblg. rain continues friday at 48. first weekend of march, up to 42. sports is nix. it's a chilly day for a swim but it's all for a great cause. these folks spent the morning jumping into

got up to 73 in washington, d.c. got into the 80 nz dallas. you get a con frast trast like this and you're going to get some wild things. and that is case. as we go through the night tonight, we have rain. but it's very warm. not going to need the had heavy coat tonight or tomorrow. here's tomorrow morning. still in the mid-50s. but we have a good bit of rain during the morning hours. it clears out later in the day. but temperatures don't drop that much until we get to friday night and saturday morning. and we're getting into the 20s. and that sets us up for the next storm riding that jet stream coming in in the afternoon late in the afternoon. we're in the 30s to start. so we're talking about snow with temperatures above 302 degrees. so with the warm roads, a lot of that is likely to melt as it hits. you need heavy snow to cause problems in cases like this when you have these marginal or warm temperatures with big flakes coming out of this. so it's going to be a very interesting couple days we're going to be getting here. then we're going to

a federal agency in washington, d.c. called the e.p.a. because it's all about power and jurisdiction. so the president on february 28, early in his time, in fact, he addressed a joint session of congress on february 28 in his office that day in the roosevelt room as well he signed an executive order and instructed me, scott, go fix that. go take care of this waters issue. guess what? that is what we're doing. no longer is a puddle, a dry creek bed or a drainage ditch going to be called a water of the united states. [applause] >> listen, make no mistake about it. it is not about water quality. it is not about that. it truly is about power and jurisdiction and oversight that was being stretched so far. can you imagine congress in 1972 if they wrote out a law called the clean water act looking at that definition of the water of the united states and saying you know what? as we adopt this law we want it to be interpreted to include a dry creek bed, a puddle, and a drainage ditch in utah, oklahoma, and texas. the answer would be no way. they d

at the d.c. circuit court now hawk watchers you may be excused for assuming that conclusion is simply a feverish fantasy headline willed into existence by sean hannity but evidence that something isn't quite right in the flynn case appears to be mounting by the day and all of it carries some rather grave implications for the future of robert miller's investigation trying us today to examine the facts and this legal i've cited down is none other than our own legal and media analyst i know loveline alleviate spent too long welcome thank you but always was so what's interesting about this is this may have gone unnoticed by many but the judge who first accept the blame is guilty plea and who is also one of three fires a court judges in d.c. overseeing wiretap applications like the ones at target a you know donald trump's campaign now he for some reason we don't know recused himself from the case within days of the guilty plea deal the new judge in the case emmett sullivan order of the b.o.j. to hand

into question or world war world the standard code of revolving door in d.c. will be kicked back a favor happened when he gets out of office you know where is it is it because liberty was a use of rise of the warrior so you know could it be that thing like oh you know a couple years after you leave office suddenly you're working for sinclair for us for us it's incredible though how sinclair media operates that they're not this is not a company that's exactly running around you know getting any awards for how they treat their employees the f.c.c. and the justice department are pretty widely expected to approve you know this whole three billion dollar merger now according to the times the company has a history of cutting staff and shaving costs by requiring stations to share news coverage in that way reducing unique local content and it's required stations to air conservative leaning segments including law and order features from its terrorism alert. so what they're doing is feeding it keeping keeping local politicians from being questioned on their and their st

i'm fredricka whitfield in washington, d.c. we begin this hour with new questions about the immediate response to the parkland florida shooting. the broward county sheriff's office is investigating the actions of three broward county deputies who were outside the school and had not rushed in when other officers from coral springs, florida, had arrived. this is in addition to the one broward county sheriff's deputy who did not enter the building as the shooting unfolded. that officer has since resigned. this, as we're learning chilly new details about warning signs before the massacre. cnn's kaylee hartung is live in florida where this makeshift memorial has been set up behind you. we're hearing more from the broward sheriff's office as well? >> we are, fred. first we heard from the broward county sheriff scott israel that he was sick to his stomach when he watched surveillance video that showed one of his deputies take up a position outside the 1200 building at stoneman douglas for upwards of four minutes while the killer was i

that stuff need to get to washington, d.c. on someone who shouldn't get a gun. charles: we understand the constitutional protections for that individual. there has to be a legal process. so we have to be careful we don't have this reactionary, somebody looks like they are bad or looks like they are going to do something. charles: we get to the point where they say, this is obviously -- >> we should work the states, there should be more funding for that. but i want to be careful that we don't overreact as a country saying this person posted something. you don't take away constitutional rights from anyone, regardless. charles: i think the country is in a mood to overreact. i don't mean to be facetious. charles: murphy and core anyone are basic -- and cornyn are essentially telling states to follow laws that already exist. i'm not sure if it will be enough for some people and whether it will result in another showdown. >> i think we'll see broad bipartisan support, especially in the gun control debate that goes after tightening requirements. and not imposing restri

the city of d.c. had a public accommodation right across the bridge to the south is virginia, segregation. to the north and to the east is maryland, segregation. so while we could go to any restaurant in d.c. but just a few minutes away, we could not. so we got started. i helped organize the first chapter of the nonviolent action group, which we called nag. we would go over every weekend to virginia or maryland to do sit-ins. sometime that year in march, i was first arrested in hidesville, maryland, protesting racism at a movie theater. it was, like you said, i was champing at the bit. this was tailor made for me. >> you got involved in sncc fairly early? >> yes. >> how did that happen? >> we had the second -- howard university had the second largest student protest group, and tennessee state had by far the largest. all during the month of february, march, and up to april, all of the colleges, a lot of the colleges, historically black colleges throughout the south were having some form of demonstratio
