relationship of this house to the smaller 1818 guesthouse that is behind the 1870's house. it was excavated a couple dozen squares around here. exterior around here last fall. the grass has not quite grown back yet. eventually, our research will uncover this area and also the yard. our work on the yard will be able to tell us a lot of the activities that were happening here and we will get the house orientation. we don't know whether the main entrance was on this face for the southern race. we will be able to determine that. there is a smaller wing to the west that is probably more service oriented. it held a kitchen seller. the seller itself we have not excavated. that. eager to get into we will have great discoveries there. we have really good evidence of burning. we think the house was destroyed sometime between the mid 1830's and early 1850's. we have not yet found contemporary newspaper accounts of the destruction, which is surprising. to day someone will come up me and have discovered the missing newspaper account. that will happen, i am sure. we found a chimney base.

we begin with the russia-white house watch. today we learned that michael flynn is under yet another investigation, this one from the top watch dog at the pentagon over failing to disclose payments he received for a speech at a russian television event. the house oversight committee says newly revealed documents show that flynn was warned explicitly about taking foreign money years ago. this comes just days after the house oversight committee said that flynn may have broken the law by not disclosing the payments. and as you may or may not remember depending on how closely you follow the president's twitter feed a month ago, the president was saying this about flynn and the russian investigation as a whole. quote, mike flynn should ask for immunity in that this a witch hunt, excuse for big election loss by media and dems of historic proportion. candidate trump in multiple events, shunning one of the many great generals who supported him. >> general flynn, i met him at a ball room because somebody was being honored. you know who

that's the housing bust. that with some lag a year, two years, three years, it varies by cities, results in lower value of the taxable base, the ss value. local governments can respond to that base in principle because they have the most autonomy over the property tax of any tax offsetting the decline by raising the tax rate. easy to say, just raise the tax rate and prevent the decline. other are a number of extremely important factors. so we identified changes in income and expenditure needs which income affects the willingness of the pipe was to support an increase in tax rates. changes in other revenue sources, state aid and federal-aid, and other non-property taxes all effect that decision. and finally cities now for a long time operate under considerable constraints from state imposed, state voted property tax limitations of a variety. so these all effect the willingness to offset a decline. the net result is a decline in property tax revenues. the other channel that we didn't think about so much before

director over here at the white house. the white house is not disputing that they sent that letter that that's their explanation at this point. general flynn's attorney has released a statement saying that general flynn did brief the defense intelligence agency about these speaking appearances and about the money he received for those speaking appearances and the house oversight committee is pushing back on that. i heard from a staffer just after that statement was released by michael flynn's attorney saying that this committee has seen no evidence that michael flynn briefed the intelligence agencies about these activities and so there is a bit of a he said, she said about what general flynn was doing to comply with the law in this area. president trump's first national security adviser was not in compliance with the law. that is no small thing. and underlined the fact that during this campaign, we saw this time and again, general flynn was leading the chance of lock her up during the campaign and now he's being accused no

i went to work in the white house and then i got married and went back to the white house. on my honeymoon i went to turkey and bought a rug. i remember having a discussion about whether that constituted any sort of contact with a foreign agent. people who work in the government take these forms deadly seriously and you're interviewed by fbi agents afterward. how did michael flynn get the needed security clearances to be present in donald trump's briefings during the transition without having a current and accurate background check form on file? >> well, nicole, you're imminently correct. this is a huge red flag. it's not the only time we've had red flags regarding general flynn. first he failed to disclose the information on his clearance form. he failed to disclose this on his ethics form, his oge 278 form. he failed to disclose his work under the foreign agent's registration act on behalf of the government of turkey. that is three forms that were incomplete, sloppily filled out or purposely incorre. and then of course he failed to comply with the constitutional and polic

our city must accelerate housing and market rate housing projects. we must insist on strategies that maximize the below market housing and address the number of units built. the strategies that the city uses to ease the crisis must maximize the numbers units produced. 40% of ten is four but 20% of 100 is five times greater and five times more opportunity for dispeemps firefighters and paraprofessionals to move into the city and critical to address the shortage at the level of production. that includes every kind of housing project. thank you for your time supervisors. >> thank you. >> hello supervisors. i am lara nicholson and a special education paraprofessional at galloway high school for nine years. i enjoy working with the kids and i feel like i am getting more skilled every year and of course i feel energized by being around the kids. it's very hard to get and keep special education paras at sfusd. we need people with long-term service so their skills increase and abilities increase so they can assist students better. i live in a studio close to

on the white house campus. it comes as tensions continue to rise and at a rapid pace between the united states and north korea. after the pentagon test fired a powerful missile across the pacific. details on that coming momentarily. you can see the senators boarding buses before making their way to the white house grounds. leading the briefing we're told today, the secretary of state rex tillerson, the defense secretary, james mattis, the intelligence director, dan coates and the joint chief of staff chairman general dunford. we expect president trump to be there. the house will get their briefing tomorrow, not at the white house but on capitol hill. we have cameras outside the gathering in case senators decide to speak. first more on the missile test. the united states is air force test firing an intercontinental ballistic missile from vandenberg air force base. it traveled 4,000 miles before splashing down in the pacific ocean. the missile can carry a nuclear missile but this was not armed. we'll show you mor

the white house has yet to explain why senior white house staff apparently shared these materials with but one member of either committee only for their contents to be briefed back to the white house. white house has yet to explain that. and he's right. it remains weird and unexplained that the white house is now implicitly admitting it's the source of these documents. they're still not saying why they wouldn't admit to that before. the white house will still not say who let congressman devin nunes into the white house grounds to obtain these documents in the first place last week or why white house staffers gave the information specifically to him. all that remains unexplained. now we're left with more than just the fiasco, more than just the mess. now we're left with some serious questions, the question of why staffers were looking at this information and leaking it in the way they did and whether that indicates that the white house was tracking the progress of the fbi's investigations. or even trying to pervert the course of those investigations in congress. today nbc news reported

if we did go forward and said housing, housing, housing, we would create a problem for ourselves in the next decade when we had that imbalance. we do, as far as, we do have the ability for more housing and we will have more housing on board but it's much more methodical, much more controlled in order to match up with the other side of the equation so we don't end up with a mismatch in the future. >> i would just throw in that new york is probably more similar to d.c. in this way, there's a big problem with affordable housing. zoning is really relaxed quite a bit over the past couple decades, but transportation investment, lots of things that make new york city extreme and difficult to build in have led to rapidly increased prices over a long period of time, quite persistently. >> other questions in the room. >> yes. >> i'm not familiar with the housing market, but i was curious since it's so relied on by some jurisdiction, the question is, is the value of housing more volatile, more like a commodity or of venezuela than it used to be? because of how wall street has bundled in debt and a

the dynamic in the house.the conservatives are on board and now they have to get the moderates on board. it's like a balloon you push on one side the other end comes out. that's the dynamic you're facing right now. moderates are not on board. i listened to the interview the reason he doesn't know when the bill will come up or wouldn't say because he doesn't know neither does paul ryan or kevin mccarthy. this bill is right now in neutral while they round up votes by moderates. i was talking to a senior house republican a couple minutes ago who said i hope we delay this a couple weeks so it doesn't affect government funding, doesn't affect some of the critical things we need to do. now, if you think that this is difficult, wait for tax reform where republicans are all over the place and the idea that this is going to be quick and ben white and i have talked about this a lot, is kind of -- it's a fantasy. and washington and everybody needs to wrap their minds around a slow and arduous process when it comes to oba

house will be offering in congress.most important is 35. what is 35? 35 is the current corporate tax rate. on payment if you're a corporation, you're supposed to be paying a 35% rate. not all of them do. that's another matter. but 35% is the rate now. the white house wants to bring that back to 15%. this could be a tough political sales job. you heard the democrats saying why do you want to cut taxes for big corporations? why do you want to cut taxes for the rich? you're supposed to be the populist candidate. we have some polling this if i can possibly show it. who know a men. this has never done this before. their going on feed it through because it broke again. so corporate taxes. look on the surface. be a high priority with people. 41% think it should be raised. 22% say lower. 32% say keep at this time same. here's the they know among trump voters. people who voted for trump, not a lot of enthusiasm. and a bunch say keep it the same of on the surface, this is a tough political sales job for the administration. but he

is the white house -- what is the white house saying about the budget battle? >> they're working hard, shep, to try to cut a deal with the democrats to avoid a government shut down. that i have 4 1/2 days left to do it. midnight friday. portions of the government will run. the president doesn't want an exclamation point on the end of the first 100 days. two things he wants in the spending bill, $30 billion in additional spending for the pentagon for military and a lot of money for border security. some of that money will go to border patrol agents, some ice agents and $1.55 billion will go to the wall. the democrats, as you pointed out, don't want to put any money into that. you showed nancy pelosi's reaction. she went on to say that the border wall is a sign of weakness. at the end of the week, the omb director says he will have a deal that avoids a government shut down and those sentiments were echoed awhile ago. listen here. >> the work that director mulvaney and those have made in the negotiations have been very positive. they feel confident it won't happen

between the midway west wing and the white house itself. why is it so important to be in that location? mr. mason: it is critical just to be present for when things happen here at the white house, when the president decides to speak to the press. if the president has a meeting with a foreign leader, we are there. if there is something last-minute, where they need the press to come and see something, we are right there. being at the white house shows the transparency that is protected by the constitution, by the first amendment. coming through the gates of the white house everyday to report on the administration, to shed light on the administration, are all things that are protected by the first amendment, and the best way to fulfill those responsibilities is to be in the press room. >> tensions between the press and the president, not new. is it any different with this president? mr. mason: you are right to say there's been tension for decades , for longer than that. that is part of the relationship. it is hard to compare this to lots of ot

that's why we are seeing the white house reach out to the house freedom caucus. mike pence up here on capitol hill last night and they also had members of the tuesday group, the moderate group up to the white house yesterday, all trying to see what changes can be made to make this bill potentially resuscitated. one of the big changes we're hearing is giving states potentially more flexibility to opt out of those obamacare provisions, so essential health benefits, they would have a waiver instead to get out of those provisions, things like maternity leave, maternity care and hospitalization. there was some other notables on the table as well. but the big thing we're hearing up here on capitol hill is that it's too early to tell right now. there just aren't enough details. there is no actual text. until they see something, you are not going to have members sign on the dotted line. back to you guys. >> all right. let's bring in our panel right now. we're joined by john, margaret hoover and ben ferguson. community rating is a technical term, but what it means is you

the white house has still not admitted that the white house itself was the source of those documents for devin nunes. at least they haven't admitted it overtly. there's a whole bunch of problems here in terms of the way this has rolled out. devin nunes explicitly told a reporter he did not obtain those documents from white house officials, but apparently he did. apparently now the white house is at least implicitly admitting they were the source of the documents because today they made those documents available to adam schiff. how else could they be showing them to adam schiff tonight if they never had them in the first place? the white house has still not explained why they previously covered up where they came from even if they are implicitly admitting now it was them. in print, this is sort of the cover-up part of this scandal, i guess. experiencing it though in day-to-day life, it feels less like a scandal and more like a fiasco. it feels like a mess. after reviewing those documents, schiff did release this statement about what he saw. quote, today my staff director and i reviewe

the white house has yet to explain why senior white house staff apparently shared these materials with but one member of either committee only for their contents to be briefed back to the white house. the white house has yet to explain that. and he's right. it remains weird and unexplained that the white house is now implicitly admitting it's the source of these documents. that it has these documents. they can show them to adam schiff. they're still not saying why they would not admit to that before. the white house will still not say who let congressman devin nunes into the white house grounds to obtain these documents in the first place last week or why white house staffers gave the information specifically to him. all that remains unexplained. now we're left with more than just the fiasco, more than just the mess. now we're left with some serious questions, the question of why staffers were looking at this information and leaking it in the way they did and whether that indicates that the white house was tracking the progress of the fbi's investigations. or even trying to pervert the

the white house denied a request from the house oversight committee to hand over documents about michael flynn's foreign dealings. now the committee's top dogs want answers. >> the reality is i just don't think there are any documents because general flynn was required to proactively ask permission prior to engaging with russia and turkey, not only was he supposed to ask for permission, he was supposed to get permission. and he didn't. >> you think, congressman, this could be punishment with imprisonment? >> definitely. that's why i cited the code. that's going to be left up to others to decide. >> no doubt this would be a big issue for white house press secretary sean spicer to address when he kicks off today's daily briefing at any moment. >>> also this hour, chilly reception. first daughter ivanka gets a firsthand look at diplomacy and what people in other parts of the world think of her dad. president trump. >> i'm a tremendous champion of supporting families and enabling them to thrive. >> translator: you hear the reaction from the audience. >>> also this hour, a preview of our own

and we support this continuance because we oppose this developed until the low income housing is as high as it can possibly go. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors gus hernandez chair of the steering committee for affordable units we found out this hearing was continued as you can see we brought a lot of folks in the neighborhood worship here to to help to improve the legislation that supervisor president london breed has put forward instead of a last time and shows her approach to the excluding the community we're asking - support the continuance we believe the additional time will allow for more improvements we you couldn't request during the continuance between now and when the matter is heard again that supervisor president london breed and the planning department engage with the community and hold a forum for the issues to be discussed why has she not met with us we wanted more affordable housing not less and the proposed at the lagging last hearing is not enough we hope to be here in may to support the legislation that complies with the demand

right now to ask the white house to produce documents that were not in the possession of the white house is ridiculous. john? >> thanks, sean. when general flynn's attorney wrote to senate intelligence committee suggesting some sort of immunity deal for general flynn, i asked you a question about whether the white house would be invoking executive privilege. your response at that time was no, we have no problem with general flynn testifying. he's tree to do so. we hope he does. is that also apply to any documents that the white house may have relating to general flynn? the short service as the national security adviser to the president an the time in which he served in the transition period as an adviser to the president elect? >> i think when you ask -- i know that when chaffetz was asked whether or not what he is looking into had anything to do with the white house, my understanding is he was very clear that it was time prior to that. talking about what his role is at the white house seems not jermaine to any of the questions being asked. >> prior to service at the white house? >> agai

as the house was able to hear what they could in the house. what happened tonight. >> but they would not have resented it if they came out of that building thinking this was an important meeting, and we learned a lot. let's listen to what senator chris coombs said about it. >> i did not get the sense that a military confrontation is imminent, unless kim jong un, the leader of north korea chooses to force one there have been two major anniversaries that have just passed. when we had expected there might be a provocative nuclear test, or a test launch of a new missile. and that did not happen. >> steve as the 100-day mark approach, we're looking at everything in terms of was this done because the 100 day mark was approaching? was this done so we would get more attention to the president at work? >> i don't know why it was done. all i know is that many republican senators were steaming about the fact that they were marched down, bussed down to the white house for something that they got no new net ad on the north korean knot on what to do. and as

it is still unclear if that bill could pass the house. >> the white house hosting the entire senate today a briefing about north korea. it comes as the u.s. and south korea took part in joint military drills, stirring up more friction with the north. >> another black eye for united airlines after a giant rabbit died on a flight from london to chicago. simon, a three-foot continental giant rabbit was expected to grow to be the largest rabbit in the world. it is unclear what led to his death in the cargo hold. he was being delivered to a celebrity client in the u.s. >> did you know that rabbits get that big? >> i did not know that, and the last giant rabbit i heard about was harvey. but that's obviously a tragedy for the owner. >> yeah. sad to lose a bet. tough times for united. >> very good. >> so more on the five things to know? go to newdaycnn.com and you will find it. >> what can the trump administration do to get a win before day 100 of his administration? we'll get the bottom line next. >> but first as a boy struggling with diabetes, phil was told he was going to die young. but he bea

it's about the white house. i will interject for a second to say i believe the white house made a tactical error here in handling this scandal. i don't think they are tactically did you mean and i'm not sure why they made this error. maybe i'll be proven wrong wrong. but if you study the history of american political scandal, when you have to stone wall, you have to build the stone wall piece by piece. that's way too left arming to people who are watching you supposedly try to be reasonable. you're supposed to start looking accommodating, mature, reasonable ability these matures, and then you work up to your stone wall so you don't set up the alarm bells at the beginning. when it comes to mike flynn, turin to stone, they would rest of to hand over any documents whatsoever about him. they was national security adviser. he was fired because of lying about his foreign government contacts. he retroactively registered as a foreign agent after they fired him. the white house was explicitly warned about him. this is no

tonight we salute white house reporters.ise a glass to them, to freedom of the press, and to journalists here and around the world. >> here here. jeff: the next speakers really need no introduction. bob woodward and carl bernstein changed the course of history with their reporting on watergate. their work led scores of journalists to enter our profession. and it continues to serve as a shining example of the importance of strong reporting and holding leaders at the highest levels of government accountable. it is a true honor to have them here. i would like to invite them to the podium now to speak and present our journalism awards. >> [applause] >> thank you. shortly after richard nixon resigned the presidency, bob and i were asked a long question about reporting. we answered with a short phrase we have used many times since to describe our reporting on watergate and its purpose and methodology. obtainablet the best version of the truth. the best obtainable version of the truth. it is a simple concept, yet something very dif

white house officials. president trump's former national security advisor michael flynn is looking for legal protection from prosecution in exchange about any possible collusion between the trump campaign and the kremlin. and paul mannafort, roger stone and former policy advisor carter page have agreed to testify without the promise of immunity. immunity deal is not a sign of guilt but it would make it all but impossible for the justice department to prosecute flynn. lots to unpack here. let's begin with flynn who president trump fired last month because he misled vice president pence about his contact with russia's ambassador to the u.s. during the transition. kelly, what is the response on capitol hill amid all this controversy. kelly: there's a bit of surprise because i'm told ha the attorney -- told that the attorney did not expressive ask for immunity but did so in a public statement. there is the real track and then there's the theatrical track. there's resistance to the idea. early in the investigati

or by the white house.ou have got steve cone on one arc, paul ryan on another. you have the rest of the white house trying to preserve the campaign agenda of president trump. something has to give here. steve: what gives are these special elections. lou: there are four seats and one decided. steve: if they go like they did in kansas, that's a shot across the bow. on the house side they will say we shouldn't do anything baits will upset people. i think the president will take that as a message, i have got to deliver something big and we have to do it now. lou: the president is the only one whose seat is assured in 2018. paul ryan, what he's doing to the conference right now, he's not creating consensus around the president's agenda. he's actively fighting it. doing so in public view, and it's a remarkable historical moment because this man is talking about this quote-unquote better way agenda while the president is trying to push through his. and is being assisted by garly cone, for crying out loud. they are

can blame the house. i worked in the white house, but i have never seen something so half baked. no support for any piece of it. people can blame paul ryan -- >> let me finish. let me finish, please. the way i saw it unfold is the president was reasonably disengaged with it. during the campaign he said he had a plan. i never saw that plan. it became outsourced to the speaker of the house and the republicans. the speaker of the house said he had the votes. president trump was unsuccessful at being the closer, the primary generating force was in the house and they didn't have the votes. the president couldn't close the deal. i saw this bill as more originating out of the house, not coming from the president, although he promised a bill. i think that's where it fell apart in the house. >> all right. ladies, we have to take a break. you know what's on my mind right now? i just learned a lot. can you believe that women still make 79% of what men make? i couldn't have a better panel there. it's a problem. makes

want to let you know when the house comes in today, the house will be taking up a one measure today dealing with fannie mae and freddie mac and maybing and making a -- transparency a more important issue and the extension, that one-week extension of current -- of current -- the current spending measure runs out tomorrow at midnight so a short-term measure has been introduced. live house coverage here on c-span at noon eastern when they gavel back in. again, paul ryan, the house speaker, is going to talk to reporters momentarily. e'll stay here live. speaker ryan: hey, archer. that's awesome. are you ready, archer? what sticker? i haven't had those in a long time. good morning, everybody. first, i want to welcome all our special guests today. i think it's great to see you here and it's great you see the work your parents do but don't tell them this but they're actually kind of good at their jobs. one of those your daughters? reporter: yeah. speaker ryan: you had one here last year with us. reporter: this is the first time, abby's first time. speaker ryan: ok. i diagrees. later today the pres
