i will take the mantle of shutting down. and i'm going to shut it down for border security. >> he would take the mantle. turns out the mantle was heavy, kind of uncomfortable, and he didn't end up taking it, at least not for very long. the shutdown certainly hurt a lot of people, some of whom we met on this program. in the middle of it all, the president promised how easy he could end the impasse. >> this situation could be solved in a 45-minute meeting. i have invited congressional leadership to the white house tomorrow to get this done. >> well, he ended up walking out of that meeting, although few republicans ended up voicing concerns about the shutdown. some even spoke out about the need for the kind of wall the public wants. the gop did not do what it did today there was no rebuke of the president just as there was no real rebuke when he began redefining the word "emergency" to suit his needs. >> what's the current thinking on a national emergency? why didn't you announce it last night? >> because i think we might work

everybody is picking up this mantle. do as democrats, i think, in terms of speaking to the middle class, talking to working men. they've got nothing over the last two and a half years. they are not going to get anything as this goes on. congress is paralyzed. i tell it to my sources on wall street. you know, if they expect anything to happen legislatively they better hold their breath. it won't happen. people know they just got screwed here. they want someone to talk to them. the whole democratic party will be willing to do that. >> chris, what are you watching as this unfolds? there is a familiar rotation to where each of the candidates is going with the unexpected stop in boston where they camped for barbecue and margaritas this weekend. how will they set themselves apart? >> we are in the easy part of the race. is only thing you can control is the campaign roll-out and the money you raise. you have to say kamala harris has done exceedingly well. she's raised a good amount of money. we have seen elizabeth warren strugg

and the collapse of the equity and what happened in the with the austerity in the way and the just mantling of things like the national health service and it did kind of attack the brand of of britain of cool britannia there was this idea that britain was a plucky upstart punching above its weight i remember in two thousand and twelve i believe during the olympics were held in london they were really well done and it was a great branding exercise for britain we were actually doing the show in studios that were inside the organization that the government has set up to brand britain britain's branding organisation and they work around the clock pushing that and threesome a was really the woman who was behind all that and pulled that off and that led her to become prime minister. but by the time bragg's it rolls around all of that years and years and years of hollowing out when talked about the merits of privatization indebtedness hollowing out austerity finally caught up to like heinz kraft which has been now being written down and has become a commodity in the package food industry the brand

so to be able to i guess bear that burden, carry that mantle and bring that mantle here to washingtont. people are depending on me. >> reporter: something that turned her into a national leader on the issue for democrats. >> turning her grief and her tragedy into action and courage, to run for congress, to stand on this floor and share her personal story with us, that takes real courage. >> reporter: and scalise a key voice for republicans opposed to those efforts. >> for those who want to limit the rights of law abiding citizens to own and possess a gun, i think it is important to show the other side of how guns are used to help save lives. in my case it was people with guns who confronted the shooter and are the reason i'm here today. >> reporter: both are keenly aware inthat those roles will oy glow in t grow. mcbath promising more restrictions, scalise countering that the current laws on the books are enough. >> one thing that we ought to put real focus on is holding people accountable that fail all of us. if an area of government doesn't do its job, there are a lot of laws on the

you see some of the strikes and other teachers unions taking up that mantle. the idea of tying students concerns to teachers concerns has a long history. steve: the issue of racism in the 1960's, funding in 2019, is it better or worse? about the same? how would you assess it? elizabeth: i think it is hard to compare because the contexts are so different. the political economy of the moments are different. in the 1950's and 1960's, you could get a job without a high school diploma at times in the industrial economy or with a high school diploma. today, you often need more advanced forms of education, so i think it is hard to compare in a direct way. i can say, unquestionably, we still have a long way to go in making education truly equitable. there has been a large conversation about resegregation of schools more recently. particularly in the south, but in a place like chicago, in some ways it is a bit of an anachronistic conversation because chicago schools were never actually desegregated, so that conversation continues to be important about what equitable ed

always been very pro— europe, and i think he is positioning himself as the person who will take on the mantleer of the eu and its defender at this time of rising populism, and the chancellor, angela merkel, has been phasing out being in that position for so long. he has published in typical french flair across all of the 28 states, this call for a european renaissance. it is really to strengthen and embolden and deepening european ties. some of them are more likely to take effect on others, so having a core european minimum wage could be difficult to get everyone to agree on. things like greater ability to fight cyber crime and hate speech might gain more traction. he has put out a lot of ideas. it depends on whether the member states will climb on board. he isa member states will climb on board. he is a leader who has had a very torrid time of late, and with the yellow vest movement going on in france, and he has been started this great debate across the country, trying to wind hearts again within france. he is finding he is not having an easy ride it or by any means. it is true. the ride he

everyone of us has to take that mantle on.it will be a difficult of -- difficult election and a media in the bag for the democrat party. going to ask you a detailed question. you hired any russians to help you investigate the democrats? [laughter] you plan to give any of that research to the fbi? >> isn't that amazing. the democrat national committee paid for this big dossier -- the one thing you saw from michael cohen's testimony who is going to jail for lying but let him bring -- but let us have him come back before congress so he can now tell the truth. dossier was given to bruce's wife who work for fusion gps. adam schmidt needs to recuse himself from this investigation needs to recuse himself from this investigation. there is no reason why he should be part of this and leading this investigation. we shall be calling for his recusal from this investigation. let me ask you about the republican side of the aisle. will president trump run unopposed in the gop primary and what do you do if john kasich or larry hogan say they a

he or his chief opponent benny gantz the former israeli army chief is best suited to take up that mantle and so it serves benjamin netanyahu not just to have mike pompei oh here giving the imprimatur of donald trump donald trump once more to benjamin netanyahu but also he can switch as he did in the space of a couple of hours from really castigating benny gantz over the most recent major issue that netanyahu has raised the fact that according to reports iran hacked his phone and saying that he must tell everybody what is on that phone so that prop possible future prime minister could not be compromised by whatever iran might want to blackmail him with and then he can switch to playing the statesman with the u.s. secretary of state so all of this is something that he will welcome obviously for his campaign kerry force that will be update from west to receive them thank you still ahead for you on al-jazeera international aid starts arriving in mozambique zimbabwe and malawi as communities try to dig themselves out of cyclonic devastation and accused of violating the e.u. competition rules.

so, to be able to, i guess, bear that burden, carry that mantle, and bring that mantle here to washington able to affect change is extremely important. people are depending on me. >> reporter: it's something that has turned her into a natural leader on the issue for democrats. >> that turns her grief and her tragedy into action and courage to run for congress, to stand on this floor and share her personal story with us, that takes real courage. >> reporter: and scalise, a key voice for republicans opposed to those efforts. >> for those who want to limit the rights of law abiding citizens to own or possess a gun, i think it's important to show the other side of how guns are used to help save lives. in my case, it was people with guns who confronted the shooter and the reason that i'm here today. >> reporter: both are keenly aware that those roles were likely only grow in the months ahead. mcbath pledging a step-by-step process for more restrictions. scalise countering that the current laws on the books are enough. >> one of the reasons we ought to put more focus on is holding people accoun

hy not give them a new mantle anti-human trafficking, gun trafficking. fund that but stop funding these for-profit prisons. >> you are willing to give us some insight? >> i will find out the next time jeff is going. >> thank you so much. >> given the attacks on the mosques, how concerned are you about the rise of white nationalism. >> president trump finds moral equivalencies. -- there areng, people who are white supremacists. the rise has only grown. the rise of hate crimes has only go -- grown. it is unacceptable he continues to put fuel on the fire. it is not who we should be. i think it's outrageous. my heart goes out to the victims. it is a horrible shooting and another crisis in the world. we need a president who was going to do the right thing and stand up to the nra. >> thank you for coming out. >> we just did a round table. it is crushing. >> i am glad you came, thank you. >> we will cover you. by, we will see you tomorrow. >> 1, 2, 3. thank you, thank you so much.

there was talk of potentialvi re some of the sanctions mantling partor d of the nuclear program but they could not agree on the terms. the president made when he was asked about the death of otto warmbier who spent m7 months in captivity in north korea. "tells me that he didn't know about it and i will take m at his word." after the family blamed the evil kim junk u.n. i got otto out. the previous administration did nothing. of course, i hold north korea responsible. when republicans and republicans see this on capitol hill, do they see the collapse of one-on-one diplomacy? >> i'm not sure but i think they do see the handling of the warmbier conversation e overshadowrything that happened this week. the republicans have been very weary about the handling of north korea. they're concerned that he's rushing into something with a dictator. they criticized hillary -- bara obama that heould negotiate without preconditionsi with authoris the way the president is doing right now to kim jong-un. but the fact that he walked away from the talks without agreeing republicans want to praise him. mitch

number two, as a freshman senator being appointed in 2009, i took the mantle of don't ask don't tell.o one was ever focused on it except for ted kennedy. he was dying of brain cancer. i sat down with a member of the military and heard his story. his story was about why he joined the military because he believed in the importance of the culture, courage, conviction and character. he was so upset that he was forced to lie every day about who he is and who he loved. i took his story and i raised it up and i started to ask my colleagues, we need to repeal don't ask don't tell because it is corrosive. i understood that some people maybe weren't yet for gay marriage. i also understood how to find republicans. with don't ask don't tell, we lost more than 1000 members in mission-critical areas. 10% of our foreign-language speakers, and countless of men -- countless men and women who are doing their jobs every day. i led the charge of repealing don't ask don't tell in 2009, before my state passed marriage equality. when my state voted on it before, it failed. after don't ask don't tell was rep

i will take the mantle of shutting down. i'm shutting it down for border security. >> i mean, it's hard to blame bill shine for that. it's hard for any communications direct director to make a president blameless after that. it doesn't matter who has had the top communications job at the white house they have all had to deal with the president who creates his own problems, were trying to spin why he sides with russia over his own intelligence agency -- >> i have president putin. he just said it's not russia. i will say this. i don't see any reason why it would be. >> or attempting to explain trump's response to the deadly white nationalist attack in charlottesville, virginia. >> you had some very bad people in that group. but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. >> and now as the president begins another search for another communications director there may be only one person left that's up for the job. >> okay. what's your first name. >> john. >> john john barron. >> john barron. a man who wsh well

i think a lot of women feel potentially a female candidate on thee best to take mantle where hillary clinton fell short last time. in terms of who is best to take on trump, it depends on who you ask and what perspective they have. host: she is a national politics reporter for national journal. c-spanrst appearance on and television, you did a great job. guest: thank you. host: will you come back again? guest: deftly. >> our road to the white house coverage will continue today as democratic presidential candidate senator cory booker of new jersey will deliver an address at the brown chapel ame church selma, alabama during the annual bridge crossing jubilate that remembers the bloody sunday civil rights march of 1965. senator booker one of several candidates attending the event. and senatorton sherrod brown of ohio will be in attendance. rights who sought voting lodged a march from summit to montgomery but were beaten by law enforcement officers on the edmund pettus bridge. backlash, known as bloody sunday, helped galvanize a support for the voting rights act of 1965. brown chapel ame

every other candidate running this time around just about has picked up the mantle of that democrat socialismthe thing people have to remember is socialism is not a platform of ideas and services and free stuff that they're going to give away. socialism is a form of tyranny. it's a form of running the government to that you control people's lives all the way down to what they put in their mouths. and that is a very real thing. that's not something that's made up. you can go back and see 100 million people have perished, been killed under that kind of tyranny. the funny thing is, when republicans try to address this stuff seriously and they talk about the cost of something like the new green deal or green dream or whatever it is, there's no money. we underestimate the power of socialism. socialism doesn't need money. they have prisons. they can make people work. and that's what socialism is. and you can try to dress it up any way you want, but that's undeniably what socialism is. >> austan, you're a numbers guy. we're talking about two of the biggest deal, the new green deal and medicare for a

it and we're going to see which ones emerge in the coming months and years to try to reclaim that mantle why won't they see it. they are afraid that donald trump will tweet about them larry that's the bottom line they know that if he does that his mob gets turned loose on them their lives become a living hell they're flooded with death threats they're they're miserable they get nothing done because they get pinned down by this gigantic social media mob that trump owns and operates essentially and it and their lives become very difficult so that's they're afraid of mean tweets what democrat would be ok with in the white house. you know that's a stats a funny question right now larry because i don't think any of them have really done much to talk about policy yet you know i would like to see a democrat in the white house if i'm going to support a democrat it's going to be a it's a high hill much more probably inclined to support a centrist or independent right now as a republican but if it's a if it's a binary choice i'm going to what one who is who understands the markets matter going to

she adopted the mantle of truth teller in the subject of race relations. this brought down on her the wrath not only of white democrats who's policies she opposed but also of white republican man in her own political party who felt she was too radical. too outspoken. in other words reconstruction led bare the divisions among white southern unionists and they were quite deep. most white southern unionists were not sympathetic to the agenda of racial equality and black civil rights not unsympathetic to van lou's position on these issues. so rumored began to circulate that she was unmentally stable, hysterical, unhinged. she had a new imagine that would stick and hound her through the rest of her life. the imagine of crazy beth. elizabeth the crazy woman. she was skidish in public. nervous about threats to her well being. it is revealing that after having survived the civil war and reconstruction in virginia, van lou felt the unveiling of the lee statute here in richmond was the final straw. she wrote to a boston friend in 1880, ever since the lee unveiling i

but i'm not sure that he can count on having the obama mantle, or at least not entirely to himself. you would think he would as the former vice president. but could it also be beto o'rourke, who a lot of obama aides really like, who is young, who is charismatic, who is kind of filling that catch fire mold that obama did in 2008. or could it be an african american candidate like cory booker or kamala harris or another path-breaking candidate. so i don't even know that joe biden can necessarily count on that coming around to him. he can't really count on the establishment being behind him because they would already be behind him if he could count on it. everybody knows everything you can know about joe biden if you wanted to if you're an insider. i think the danger that that 28%, whatever he is at in the polls is that is a ceiling and not a floor. >> totally agree, and his first day in the race could be his best day. >> alex seitz-wald and ruth conniff, thanks for joining us. >>> tonight trump goes after mueller again, and it's personal. he says 63 million americans voted for him and

he started releasing messages, video messages and audio messages kind of picking up his father's mantlee the state department has upped the ante and called him out. >> so upping the ante to the tune of $1 million, that's what they're offering for information on his whereabouts. what happens when they find him? >> well, the presumption is he's either in remote areas of afghanistan or pakistan and state department officials have suspect he might go back to iran where he's had shelter and been held under house arrest before. this is a way that could be warning iran that we know you might be considering taking him in again. iran is thought to have been holding or supporting other members of al qaeda right now. so they'll be tracking to see if he ends up there. but in general, this is a way of saying wherever he moves they're going to be watching his finances, watching his travel and letting other countries know who might want to look the other way and let him in that the u.s. will hold them responsible. >> $1 million on his head for location for finding his location. thank you very much, ki
