good to have you here tonight. >> thank you, martha. >> martha: did they overreact? >> i think, in fact, what bill barr said is taken at face value, he is suggesting that an american political campaign was subjected to unfair tactics by either the fbi or the intelligence community. let me say quickly. did he try to walk back some of this. it's not talking about the fbi but intelligence community more generally. and really interested in the predicate. you said he is talking about. >> you can't separate those two things, juan. he said very clearly, this is someone who worked as an analyst for the cia. he understands what it means when you say spy, it means gathering intelligence. that's exactly what he referred. to say. >> juan: later he said it wasn't pejorative spying. i'm trying to help him. >> martha: he says he was gathering intelligence and whether or not they had a predicate, a reason to do that. did they have a good reason to tap into carter page and did they have a good reason to send potentially halper in to talk with papadopoulos, how did all of those wheels

martha, rudy giuliani began the interview saying that we are very happy. he called this a clear victory. we know that william barr is set to testify may 1st and 2nd, and now the house judiciary wants to hear from robert mueller himself by the end of may. >> whether or not robert mueller ties to testify in front of congress will be one of the interesting data points to watch as this story unfolds. he has been completely behind the scenes for the entire two-year course of this investigation, choosing to keep his wants to do that. it's another sort of -- you could say it's somewhat of an arbitrary deadline that has been placed by the democratic majority in the house to ask him that he has to come by may 23rd. we will see whether or not he decides to do that. i just want to point to one every here, which is of interest. if you remember our coverage of this over the last two years, some of these salacious details that have floated around about these that were said to include the president. untoward activity in moscow, back during the miss universe pageant. this

connell: martha, he brings his message.er weekend, they are seen as big three. bernie won two of those but struggles here against hillary clinton last time. conventional wisdom has been maybe a more moderate democratic voice all be more effective here, i guess we'll see. reporter: we will see. any candidate who wants to win this race, are in states that president did very well in. question goes to that electoral question, are you better identify now than 4 year -- off now than 4 years ago. in most of these places the unemployment number has dropped, basically close to full. wages rising 6% in the state of pennsylvania over last couple years, to convince people they need to go a different route with the economy is what bernie sanders wants to do. certainly there is a lot of income inequality in the country, that is where sanders voters live. connell: the hall looks great. how do you put together an audience for an event like this, how involved do you think they will be? reporter: there is a lot of you know the bernie sanders

i already pointed out what martha futch was supposed to do. when her husband was ill, she was of course supposed to write him a letter and say, buck up, getthrough this and yourself back into the ranks. martha, she was barely literate herself and she sent him the following letter. "i learned that you have not going before the medical board and i want you to go. if you wanted to come home as much as i want you to come, you would go every day and i want you to do it and try to get home." there is a strong-minded woman, right? forget that. not only is she violating the "code" of a woman, but violating -- of a confederate woman, but she is violating patriarchy. no man is supposed to receive instructions -- that is not even an instruction, it is an order. is it not? do this. what's even interesting about that note is that she clearly had heard through the so-called grapevine, right? from another soldier's maybe letter to another woman who lived in the neighborhood, but heardows, she said i heard you're not going back to the medical board. these of

sick, he is receiving letters from his wife, martha. i want to make this very clear now about what good confederate women, and i put quotes around that, what good confederate women are supposed to do. imagine, their letters were supposed to encourage the men to do their duty, to suffer for the cause, to encourage their men to continue the fight regardless of what might be happening on the home front. to yout stress enough all that what i found in this book time and time again with union and confederate soldiers, the importance women played in shaping how men understood their sense of duty. husbands and wives saw themselves as partners in the war. i already pointed out what martha futch was supposed to do. she was supposed to write him a letter and say, buck up, get yourself back into the range. she was barely literate herself and she sent the following letter. i learned that you have not going before the medical board and i want you to go. if you wanted to come home as much as i want you to come, you could -- would go every day and i wa

>> martha: that's one of the biggest questions for him, kennedy.e sees time is on his side and he's not planning i don't think to declare until he feels good and ready to do so based on what he sees going on in the landscape in the democratic party for sure. i did ask him that question in an earlier conversation, are you going to bypass all the debate process. he said that remains to be seen. i don't know how you can get herself on the map if you don't participate in some of these stages along the way. i also think it's interesting to remember that essentially president trump was sort of an independent candidate in the early going. he had been a democrat. he decided to run as a republican, decided to run within the system. you asked him in that first debate, will he backed republican candidate if it isn't you and he said i really can't promise that. i think it's fascinating to have a gathering tonight of republicans and democrats and independents looking at someone who believes there's a way to cut a path which has traditionally been incredibly dif

is going to go viral" appeared to be to see you, martha. >> martha: thanks, bret.mbaugh, who was with president trump this weekend as he begins to move past the mueller report. and look ahead. and now joe biden believes he can beat the president in a race for the white house, reportedly just days from entering into the race. the start looking a little rocky, the date may be a moving target. we will speak to someone later in the show who is close to his campaign. good evening everyone, i martha maccallum and this is "the story" ." the president tweeting up a store, here is the latest one from just moments ago. he says "you mean the stock market hit an all-time record high? and they are actually talking imac

. >> martha: time for the special counsel robert muller's report. panel, brad, prints, essentially the section you talked about the fact that they said they cannot come to the conclusion that the president did not obstruct justice. >> brad: yeah, bottom line, if you opposed against the collusion section where he did exonerate him, they would have exonerated him if he was able to. with that said, there was probably obstruction and also refute everything. attorney general barr said this morning about obstruction and what he said three weeks ago when he wrote the four-page letter to congress. bill barr can't be trusted when it comes to issues like this and i think the american people know that. >> martha: some people might disagree with you, but brad you talk about the fact the public overtures to people to cause him trouble but privately trying to control the investigation and that is included in the report as well. >> brad: this talked about what guy was talking about to the brink of constitutional crises over and over because he can't stand scrutiny

and martha, do we have any idea yet what authorities think this woman was up to? >> reporter: well, there's still many questions about who she is and why she was there, and especially about that thumb drive, which authorities say contained the mall ware which can infect computers with a virus. but also tonight, david, so many questions about how she was able to make it onto that secure property. even if the president wasn't there at the time, that is where he spent the weekend. david? >> yeah, past several layers of security. martha raddatz, thank you. >>> we're also following a deadly plant explosion tonight. workers crawling out, under fences, trying to get to safety. all of this playing out at a check plant in crosby, texas, outside houston. the explosion leading to shaking homes, multiple schools on lockdown. the fire sending thick black smoke right into the air. everyone within a mile was told to stay inside today, some workers on gurneys, helicopters, you can see, rushing to the scene. tonight, at least one worker is de reporter: tonight, a terrifying chemic

our last one, our army representative, is martha putney. of the first 40 women, african-american women to join a women's army auxiliary corps. they traveled to fort des moines effort on theeat part of a civil rights activist as well, especially with the support -- as well as with the support of the first lady eleanor roosevelt. african-americans were allowed to be part of the military and martha putney was one of them. the story she told about what she endured and what these women entered. they were segregated. with a used the pool, it was cleaned after they had a swim. german pow's were permitted to club, african-american officers were not. the african-american women formed a band and the army decided they didn't want the band. i think martha reached out to those folks who helped her so , as well as eleanor roosevelt, because eventually eleanor roosevelt intervened and they were able to have a band. she used the g.i. bill when she got out of the army to get her phd. and was a at howard senior fellow at howard and various schools on the eas

martha: thank you. it is really great to be here, really great to see people i have worked with before and i hope to work with again. because i am a little loud. is that better? not that echoing? i will take us back a little bit. before the regional liberation, which i agree very much with, keeping the tools in place, i haveng on them, but been here all morning, and this has been fabulous. much of what i would be saying on this panel is largely going to be sort of emphasizing and supporting what we have all heard already before. an opportunity, or had the opportunity to work in a department that joined in the public health programs and the environmental programs. one of the things that was actually common between both of them, and gina emphasized to this, and i agree with her fully, is that 90% or more of the environmental regulatory programs are really there to protect public health. we should really think about it, that is largely what they are therefore. but if they work well, both the public health

here now, co-anchor martha raddatz. >>> good morning. and welcome to after nearly two years, the mueller report has finally been made public, giving us all a chance to review the special counsel's findings. the president's opinion seemed to have changed very little. repeating his now-familiar refrain of no collusion, no obstruction.ot so clear-cut. mueller's investigation did not find that the trump campaign conspired or coordinated with russia to interfere in the 2016 election. but the special counsel's team did find a series of contacts between trump campaign officials and individuals with ties to the russia government and the report paints a picture of a president, who committed acts that were, quote, capable of exerting undue influence over law enforcement investigations. asking former attorney general jeff sessions to unrecuse himself from the russia investigation and asking the deputy attorney general to mislead the public about why the president fired former fbi director james comey. but the special counsel concluded trump's effor
