mary margaret did not discriminate. treating women and men equally when it came to their desire for interesting conversation and involvement in the world at large. she treated her guests just as respectfully. she never spoke from notes. she had a phenomenal memory. nor would she let her guest use them. this sometimes upset guests. they came in with their little prepared remarks and she would often kind of conveniently swoosh them off the table leaving the person just to be able to talk. and people who were on her show really said that she put them so much at ease that they really felt that they were just having a conversation. the two of them. i think that is one key to her great abilities as an interviewer. the other thing that really distinguished her was that she always put the guest first. she really wanted to show off the guest. she didn't care what she sounded like. it was more that she wanted to make sure that the guest was able to say what he or she wanted to and do it in a way that would be interesting to the l

margaret: perhaps. he'll have a working weekend at the white house but he hasn't seemed to be negotiating on this. it seems to be more vice president pence who has emphasized he was in washington before. he knows this sort of how to make the sausage process and he is the one who's going to be the face out there this weekend with some of those republican governors like you talked about particularly in kentucky with the republican governors very skeptical, agreeing with rand paul, a senator whose clip you played at the beginning of the program talking about this being dead on arrival, obama care light, because he doesn't like some of the tax credits. that is a state with about 500,000 people on obama care in some form or fashion. that transition is something that they're really going to have to get right. so pressuring the constituents to support it when their representatives do not is a really interesting sales proposition for mike pence to be in this weekend. and the president is going to be doing his f

margaret: thanks to you both. mark: we will continue to cover breaking news out of washington as republicans scrap the vote on the health care bill. this is bloomberg. >> we came really close today but we came up short. i spoke to the president a little while ago. i told him the best thing i think to do is to pull the bill, and he agreed with that decision. this is a disappointing day for us. ♪ ♪ mark: this is "bloomberg markets." i am mark crumpton in new york with margaret. let's bring in dani burger who is covering wall street leading up to the decision by house republicans today to scrap the vote to repeal and replace obamacare. who is happy and who is not? denny: there is the sentiment now we do not need to worry about health care anymore and the white house and congress is going to move on to what wall street really wants, and that would be tax reform deregulation ,nd infrastructure spending most likely in that order. but there are issues behind that. freedomcannot get the caucus on their side, are they goin

she's margaret atwood this is overheard. (inspiring music) (applause) - [evan] let's be honest is this about the ability to learn or about the experience of not having to talk at all. how have you avoided what has befallen other nations in africa-- you say that he had made his own bed, but you caused him to sleep in it. you saw a problem and over time took it on-- (laughter) let's start with the sizzle before we get to the steak. are you going to run for president? i think i just got an f from you actually. (applause) margaret atwood welcome. - thank you. - very nice to have you here. - lovely to be here. - so interested in this new book, congratulations on it. may i say nobody does dystopian like you do dystopian. (laughs) - is that a compliment? - oh my god it's the biggest compliment in the world. i mean the world that you've created in this book will come back to the handmaid's tale at some point here soon reminiscent to my mind of the dystopia in that book. but i love the plot of this story, i love the characters and i

this year's recipient is margaret atwood. [applause] >> we honor the significant and sustained accomplishments for her work as an essayist and critic to more than 40 books for her influence on writers, editors, publishers and citizens across canada and the globe to imagine and create and write a world where human beings survive in surviving against the forces of history and culture and censorship or political assault, brutality, social disorder, surviving attacks on women's rights, human rights as well as environmental degradation and writing about surviving through literature with dignity and decency. for all this and more, she needs no introduction but you're going to get one anyway. to introduce margaret atwood i'm going to call to the stage cb, the literary agent since 1963 whose career began here in the city at the agency which was the first literary agency in the united to establish an 1880s. she later joined the john cushman agency curtis brown and in 1971 she opened the agency in greenwich village and 1975 moved to ve

nann0 who is sitting next to margaret, it became her editor. it was simon & schuster with bodily harm and she has been with us -- we have been with one another for a very long time. very long time. so after bodily harm, woman has breast cancer and goes to caribbean and gets into a drug war. so, next came -- here a big surprise -- that was -- the hand maid's tale. margaret came out to visit me in santa monica while she was writing "the hand maid's tale." i was not well at the time and hit was mainly a courtesy call, think to see me. but after we had finished our exchange, i asked her, what are you doing? what are you working on? and she said, -- she never tells you titles and never tells you what she is writing. so i said you don't have to answer anything but there is any way i can help you? and she said, no. i have to do this but it scares me. overnight, it was an international best seller. and almost overnight with president trump coming in, it's become a best seller again. on april 26th, hulu has produced a ten-part series and the books are s

[applause] >> thank you thank you, , margaret. all of us at the news hour on pbs are grateful to you and the washington press club foundation for partnering with us to honor gwen's legacy in this way. gwen was a competent journalist as many of us know. her curiosity for everyone was on display in all the reporting that she did but also in our newsroom out in the field, she was always the person to say, that cameraman, he is having a hard time, like a knee replacement, or i am sure she lost her mother. she cared about people, nurtured them, helped their career ambitions. she was a sounding board and a mentor and friend to so many of us that had the opportunity to know her and work with her. we knew this at the news hour, but after her untimely death in november, we were stunned to see how vast and wide those efforts were. journalists and women of color especially came forward to gwen had helped further their careers. it was stunning to those of us who already knew about her generosity already. and obsession, and if you think about

margaret, henry's sister, lives an amazing life. married as a very young woman to james of scotland, and then when widowed she chooses her husband and has to run away from scotland, she gets to england, she divorces him, she marries a third husband for choice. she's behaving as if she was in total charge of her own destiny. and of course the loss of her first husband is the fault of the english court? the loss of her first husband is planned as a campaign by katherine of aragon. so you have this terrible dark side of the sisterhood that they are always rivals and that it is katherine of aragon's campaign that kills her brother—in—law. you can't read about this events, whether in straight history or fiction, without a mind—boggling feeling of everything that subsequently came is determined by some of these — almost chance events? mmm. i think the idea of history, as in the past is another country, when you are a historian, you get this real double view of it. on the one hand you go like, "yes, it is almost completely separate from ou

joe: margaret, what was your most interesting thing? margaret: i will give you two things.erscoring the president trump had all in -- sounds like he is praising himself and trump. we are going down together. ryan'stwo, paul statement that in the minority party, it is easy to just say no to everything. when you are in charge, you have to say yes. he is turning on his own caucus now. joe: they passed obamacare revealed like 20 times. there were no consequences or chances those the get signed into law, they had no problem passing. shannon: it was like a stunning news conference. you can pull out a billion newsbytes, maybe that obamacare is that law of the land. scarlet: shannon, you were covering law and retail for us. the republicans for all those years when they replaced -- opposed obamacare, did they not sit down and decided what each side wanted in a new health care bill? shannon: they did, and the leadership was very aware, the feelings in the far conservative tea party freedom caucus movement of this party, they miscalculated how tightly that group was going to lock behi

margaret humphreys has worked most of her life for the british child migrants.ices are covered with the pictures of those she's helped. today, 30 years after founding the child migrants trust, she finally got to give evidence to a british public inquiry, and she didn't hold back. without doubt this is the most catastrophic child—abuse legacy within our living memory. kidnapping, sexual abuse in the uk before they were sent — before they were sent! between 1945 and 1974 britain accelerated the migration of poor children, in particular to australia. the idea — to reduce the impact on british social services, and bring what was called "good white stock" to the commonwealth. this man in a suit, he came to see me, and he says, "your mother's dead, you know, so how'd you like to go to australia?" the sun shines everyday... the story of margaret humphreys' fight for the migrants was made into a feature film in 2011. she was particularly horrified about the way it stripped them of their identities, and their families. it is a chilling fact of the scandal that many were

toni morrison had to make it all up as we get inside margaret garner's mind and world. you want writers to do that. otherwise, the record, which often destroys the lives of african americans in the past, that simply gets lost. if you do not have imaginative writers who are good and sympathetic to re-create that world, then that world is lost. i have come to expect films to deviate from what i would do as a historian. i don't want them to duplicate what i do. what styron was trying to do -- i think he did it poorly -- is what you want writers to do, to go where historians cannot go. you go inside the mind. if you see nate parker's film, this dialogue that's created. you have to write all the dialogue, right? for every historical film, that the case, right? even if it was written down, you would not want to duplicate it in the film. it would still be pretty boring. you have to invent characters and so forth, and that is what the nate parker film is about. i have a more complicated criticism of the film because of the things it invents and doesn't, but i don't have time to

going to bring in margaret and mark. but first this is what attorney general jeff sessions told al franken in the confirmation hearings in january. >> if there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the trump campaign communicated with the russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do? >> senator franken, i'm not aware of any of those activities. i have been called a surrogate a time or two in that campaign, and i did not have communications with the russians, and i'm unable to comment on it. >> very well. without divulging sensitive information, do you know know about this or know what compromising personal and financial information the russians claim to have? >> senator franken, allegations get made about candidates all the time. been made about president-elect trump a lot sometimes, smoeft most of them, be virtually all proven to be exaggerated or untrue. i will say to you, i have no information about this matter. have not been in on the classified briefings, not a member of the intelligence

lynn sweet, washington bureau chief from washington sun times, margaret hoover, republican consultant and john avlon, editor in chief for "the daily beast." lynn sweet, let's talk about health care, shall we? right now if you are the republican house leadership, you have some members of your own party, perhaps many members lining up against it. you have groups like the aarp, american medical association, all kinds of hospital organizations lining up against this bill. is it too early to call this a botched rollout? if not, who botched it sf. >> let's just say it's a bad rollout. the republicans only have 21 votes they can lose. suzanne mentioned there were three votes in the senate. even though the republicans are in control, they didn't do the homework to address some of these concerns beforehand, and that's the problem now. john, if you want to call it botched, i'm not going to argue with you. it certainly could have been better because every question you are hearing now and we may discuss in this segment was 100% anticipated, could have been addressed maybe in a revision in the bil

that margaret thatcher found acce pta ble we that margaret thatcher found acceptable we could find somes been eclipsed by other political concerns like brexit over recent months? i certainly think that is true to a degree but now people have witnessed over this winter something thatis witnessed over this winter something that is fundamental to their lives is being privatised, wages restrained, hospitals closed, and they better do something about it if they better do something about it if they want to hang onto something we have depended on for the whole of our lives in this country. i think working people feel very aggrieved, they watched the wealth at the top of society piling up, they see corporate bonuses, they look around at their local hospital, services being cut. most people think this typifies absolutely everything wrong with this covenant and the way it is dealing with problems in this country. many thanks forjoining us. the march is taking place across the afternoon, and if you want to follow on social media you can look for the hashtag our nhs. time for a look at the weather.

. >>> ahead on "cbs this morning" mrgt br margaret brennan will have the latest on campaign ties to theussian government. >>> wall street liked the business-friendly proposals in trump's speech to congress. the major indexes hit record highs wednesday. jill wagner has details from the new york stock exchange. good morning. >> good morning. optimism about the president's plans to help business keeps pushing stocks higher. yesterday the dow finished above 21,000 for the first time ever closing 303 points higher. its biggest gain for the dow this year. the s&p 500 gained 32. its biggest single day gain since november. and the nasdaq added 78 points. the markets have soared more than 15% since donald trump won the presidency. 19,000 and 21,000. the climb is driven by mr. trump's pro-business stance. he proposed corporate tax cuts, the loosening of regulations, and a proposal to spend $1 trillion to fix the nation's infrastructure. throw in the promise of higher interest rates and a massive tax cut, all laying the ground work for continued market growth. >> thank you, jill. we'll check in wi

a response. >> margaret, what we have to look at is that there is so many duplicitous type rules at the federal and the state level that that is where you waste lot of money. it is not that anybody wants dirty air or that, because we want the right people of the right oversight are doing those rules. it does not take two different agencies to do the same type of the rule. it is to make sure that the application is done concisely in a transparent manner. when you are putting together a commission, it will help you the find through the huge bureaucracy called washington, d.c., and the federal government, the duplicitous applications. you should not be scared of that. and what you should be doing is rewarding that and looking forward to workinging with that so we have a streamlined application to make sure that the agencies in charge and those rules are doing exactly that, and those empowered to the states, that they are empowered to do that >> we are talking to paul gosar who has spent 25 years as a dental in arizona and former president of the dental association, and graduate of creighto

that's why i disagree a little with margaret. she's saying steve king is an outlier.d trump, the president of the united states, is saying this same sort of racist things. steve bannon, a white nationalist, is chief strategist to donald trump in the white house. >> you're not going to say with a straight face that steve king is a mainstream republican. >> i'm saying steve king is now just as mainstream as donald trump and steve bannon. they're part of the republican administration in the white house. you can't distance yourself. once you align yourself with a guy named donald trump who has said the most racist, xenophobic, outrageous statements over the course of the past two years, you can't start picking and parsing which republicans are acceptable and which aren't. because steve king has said nothing worse than what donald trump and steve bannon has said. >> you make a very fair point. >> and david duke, by the way, is on the side of steve king, he endorsed what steve king said. he's endorsing him. and paris won't even condemn what steve king is saying. >> hold on.

yesterday, our margaret brennan asked the white house whether mr. trump is the target of an investigation. the president's spokesman came up with two answers, and today, a third. >> reporter: press secretary sean spicer said that the white house is still not sure whether or not the president is under investigation. >> i'm not aware of it. but that's not point is that we're not aware of anything. >> reporter: so you've never been told by the justice department there is no investigation. >> no. >> reporter: so there might be one. you just don't know. >> right, i said we're not aware and i'm not aware. >> reporter: the justice department said they never gave you the assurances that you gave us. >> no, the assurance i gave you, margaret, is i'm not aware. if somebody asks me if i'm aware of something and i say no the answer is no. >> reporter: the would appear inappropriate if he did ask for answers. members of congress have contacted the bureau for information as part of a taxpayer-funded probe. republicane graham: >> it's not to much to ask the depart

first of all, let me be clear, there is only ever one margaret thatcher.ying money into the european union, boris is clear and i am clear that when people voted on the 23rd ofjune for us to leave the european union, they voted for us in the future not paying huge sums of money into the european union every year. and of course when we leave the eu, that will be the case. faisal? prime minister, just that on the budget, you said that you felt that this was a matter for the legislation. but the manifesto was very clear... five times it said that national insurance would not be raised. ordinary working people will have just read the manifesto. what do you say to those people who feel short—changed by this? do you say to those people who feel short-changed by this? as i said in my earlier answer to laura, when the tax legislation was put through that dealt with the tax legislation in the manifesto, it was clear that it related to class one national insurance. that covers 85% of workers. so 85% of the people who are workers are covered by that class one national

margaret, welcome. so what do you make of all this?judy, there is just no doubt this -- rex tillerson is the lowest profile secretary of state in modern times. he has not uttered a word publicly in the united states since arrival comments when he joined state on february 2. overseas, he does give prepared remarks but never takes a question for reporters. his issue about taking the press corps on such an important trip began with henry kissinger who recognized it was very useful -- he could background reporters, get u.s. policy out there, help shape the coverage. i'm told the g-20 meeting in germany where his prepared marks were very well received, private meeting with the russian foreign men stir sergey lavrov, but he didn't want to do a press difference with la lavrov. he went before the american reporters and read a short statement, took no questions. here in washington, he has not been included in allied liters -- important allied leaders' visits like japanese prime minister or benjamin netanyahu. he didn't even present the annual h
