>> mason: margaret warner at the white house. thanks, margaret. the u.s. justice department today filed a lawsuit to stop at&t from buying time warner. the government claims cable bills would skyrocket if the deal goes through because at&t would be able to charge rival distributors much more to carry time warner channels. at&t said essentially see you in court. a search vessel detected sounds today that may be coming from an argentine submarine that went missing in the atlantic five days ago. 44 crew members are on board, more than a dozen international ships, some from the u.s., are searching for the submarine. stormy weather is hindering that effort. the argentine navy said the subcould run out of oxygen in two more days. maybe it was that look in charles manson's eyes that convinced people to murder in his name. the late vincent bugliosi, who prosecuted and later wrote about manson, called him a metaphor for pure evil. manson died yesterday after spending nearly half a century in prison. he was 83. here's john blackstone. >> reporter: in his most recent

i'm old enough to remember what margaret thatcher did withjohn to remember what margaret thatcher did, to remember what margaret thatcher did withjohn major, do you remember? very few people had heard ofjohn major until he was suddenly made chancellor, he was really kind of richard from having no real profile —— booted from having a kind of profile from being front and centre. most people looking at the paper this morning will ask who he is, the chief whip, that was the role he was undertaking and very much in those with instant shadows, he is now front and centre and there is an awful lot of tory mps who don't look happy. he will have to be squeaky clean, the telegraph is saying there could be another raft of conservative names they are saying here to come up in the what we call it, inappropriate behaviour scandal, the sexual harassment scandal, the sexual harassment scandal, call it what you will. the expectation is the stories of what has been going on in parliament, which, you know, is by any measure a com pletely which, you know, is by any measure a completely outrageous thing, i

margaret sullivan, to you first.t tipped off the "post" reporters that what this woman, jamie phillips, was saying the them was not true? >> judy, the "post" was doing what good reporters always do, which, as you know, is to do a background check and to find out as much as possible about someone before going with their story. so they were doing fairly standard kind of background check, and one of the things that they turned up, and there were a number of red flags, but probably the most obvious one was that they found a go fund me page on the internet that seemed to suggest that jamie phillips had gone to work or was going to work for an organization that would set out to discredit establishment media. so this was something that certainly caught the "post's" eye. >> woodruff: and to you, michelle holmes, what has been the reaction there in alabama to the "post" exposing this attempt at a sting? >> certainly we at our newsroom are incredibly grateful and proud of the work that the "washington post" is doing. i think i

this is the swamp, if you will, margaret. how do you see it? >> yeah, we knew during the campaign, of course, that president trump's family business had had some conversations or involvements over the years in russia or with russian business people. but this takes the conversation to a new level. and when you start to look at all the various footholds inside the administration that had some sort of business relationships with russia, you see a more complex picture. now, what is it all add up to? that's completely unclear. and the point that secretary ross is trying to make is, so what? you know, basically, i'm a billionaire. i have a lot of investments and one of the investments has some connections to people in russia that are appropriate. now, i will say that secretary ross now saying and told bloomberg this morning he probably will not retain his stake in that investment. he said that he had already begun selling it for other reasons. did not detail what those other reasons are. but i think there is a sensitivity now throughout the administr

but that hardly mattered to his girls, margaret and martha. them, the dark cloud that lay over the family name for nearly a decade had lifted. >> "we're part of the peterson family. and we are not afraid to say it." we so were stigmatized before, you know, and, like, hiding it. >> reporter: still, the second trial loomed. but working in michael's favor was the fact that the prosecutor would have to try a very different much weaker case. duane deaver had been fired from his job and some of the state's critical blood evidence would be inadmissible. >> i think their case is very, very badly compromised because of deaver. he was all over the crime scene. >> reporter: and there was another important victory for peterson's side. >> what types of services did you perform? >> oh wow, that's -- that's pretty broad. >> reporter: brad, the male escort, a sensational centerpiece of the prosecution's case, wouldn't be part of a second trial either, a judge said. the escort had been revealed in a search that was deemed illegal. >> the search warrant that re

>> well, he was riffing, as margaret was saying. think that he thought that he was being funny, kind of making a funny joke about his predecessor. but, of course, for people who support those policies that barack obama put in place, that donald trump is now revoking, it's not as funny to say that. but one has to wonder if the white house was breathing a deep sigh of relief when he didn't bring up other potential pardon jokes that he could have made yesterday. there are some other folks that everyone is wondering, people that he could potentially pardon in his administration and i think there was definitely a sense of whether he would make some jokes either about that or about his other favorite person who's a democrat, hillary clinton, and i think there was a real question whether he would bring her up instead of barack obama and a potential pardon for her. >> well, back to my conversation with howard, i really do think he has to make it clear that he hates hillary. he has to make it clear all the time, because his people hate hilla

margaret brennan at the white house. margaret what does this designation mean exactly?well president trump said putting north korea on the terror black list will make it available to the u.s. to put more sanctions on what is the world's most sanctioned regime. largely symbolic. it will make it difficult to do business with pyongyang. it puts north korea on the list as sudan, syria and iran. countries that have supported terrorist groups to. day's action has no direct link to the nuclear program. the administration noted kim jong-un has not launched a test missile in more than 60 days. that's one reason why the secretary of state said today, that president trump's offer to negotiate which he made during the recent trip to asia still stands. anthony. >> margaret brennan, thanks. >> the justice department filed a lawsuit to stop at & t from buying time-warner. the government claims cable bills would skyrocket if the deal goes through. because at & t would be able to charge rival distributors much more to carry time-warner channels. at & t said essentially, see you in court

margaret sanger was an inspiration for the early nazis, and in 1933 the nazis imposed forced sterilization. remember the american eugenicists supported not voluntary, but mandatory sterilization. the nazis then moved on from that. the next idea was euthanasia. where'd they get that? from the american progressive. american progressives were saying if sterilization doesn't work, euthanasia. and one of the american eugenicist leaders said we need gas chambers. he literally advocated gas chambers, and the nazis got it from him, from him. now, mengele, when he went to argentina, was in hiding. he was sheltered by neo-nazis there and they told him, listen, if you want to support yourself, you need a profession. he became an abortionist. i'm not kidding. he set up shop as an abortionist in south america and carried out abortions until his death by drowning. so it is not a flight of the imagination. there actually is a deep connection between the same kind of eugenics philosophy that bred margaret sanger on the one hand and the nazi sterilization programs on the other. >> host: this is dinesh d'so

margaret, let me start with you. what's the thinking about this policy with these 59,000 haitians who fled their country after the earthquake looking for safe haven. is there a national security issue? why now, bring them up and send them home? >> al-mo -- i'm going to call you a name. >> did she just call you elmo? >> al-mo. >> cute and adorable. >> look, the thinking is sort of two-fold, i think, from this administration. it's supposed to be just that, temporary. and there are some concerns from some lawmakers that haitians are taking jobs away from americans. there are some studies on the other side that show that these folks who are here under temporary status actually support the economy in other ways that would have implications for regional economy maybe in south florida or what have you. but the trump administration has been signaling for a while that this was the direction in which they were leaning. i think when you see some of the reaction from south florida republicans like diaz-balart, ros-l ros-leithen,

margaret mentioned it. i just think we have a tendency to focus on the need for presidential leadership when there's a hurricane or a flood or a mass shooting or a terrorist attack, god forbid. but this, what we've seen from harvey weinstein to louis c.k. to mark halperin to kevin spacey, roy moore, now to al franken is in a way similar in that i think it does make people wonder who are we? who are we in our core? where are we going as a country? and i think the reality is not that the president, any president can solve that, can answer that question beyond a shadow of a doubt, but it has been the case with most presidents that they are able to say this stuff is not us. we are better than this. we are going to be better than this. we're going to put this behind us, and we're going to start now. he is, donald trump, is both unwilling to do so. i mean, margaret touched on charlottesville and i think is that's important. sort of an andy indication of moral leadership, of what you do when faced with that. and t

margaret, do you think that woman would have been different if the weinstein accusers had not come oute had not started down this path. >> if you look at the truth of the situation, i think a third is probably conservative. >> yeah. >> i'm sure that that's understated. are women now willing to say so? perhaps a little bit more, eave in a poll that didn't going to name them. still it takes some guts to name it. >> gabe we are seeing high-profile men being accused and suffering real consequences because of their actions. what about the men not in high-profile situations, the managers at restaurants, the partners at law firms, people without those recognizable names? >> yeah, no, that's a great question. we are in sort of the sbeer at the same time and media part of this cycle. but i hope that news organizations don't let up on the coverage and turn the spotlight the all industries, especially low income industries where women do have less rights, working several jobs and they don't have necessarily the freedom to say i'm going to come forward. if you are living paycheck to paycheck the s

thanks, margaret. the non-partisan joint commission on taxation estimated today that the senate republican tax bill would add $1 trillion to the deficit over the next decade. that conflicts with g.o.p. claims the tax cuts in the bill would pay for themselves. even so, a final vote is expected by tomorrow and nancy cordes tells us prospects for approval are improving.
