matthew: exactly. susan: this is a question for both of you when you look at the , history of the white house, which presidents were most influential in changing the building to what we know today? lindsay: the roosevelts, both of them, are huge. fdr was in the white house for a long time. he was going to have a huge impact. after him, truman oversaw a huge renovation. i also think jackson was a huge player, under jackson's presidency, the first time the east room is finished properly. that is a huge moment. then moving backwards, i would say the combination of madison and monroe, the white house burned in 1814 during the war of 1812. the rebuild and making sure it stayed in washington, d.c., which was questioned. making sure it stayed here and then refinishing it to be a proper house of state, that was a huge decision and had a huge impact. susan how much of a white house : that people get to see today is original? matthew are we talking about : sandstone walls?

a third said matthew hadn't given a name or details and matthew's complaints against him had been dismissede of the new review. for victims who've kept a secret for decades, the only way to help heal their wounds is to bring abuse into the light. i hope if i can share what happened to me, maybe one other person might find it easier to share what happened to them, and it might help to prevent it happening. until we respond in a way that's more like the good samaritan than an uptight institution trying to keep its nose clean and hide behind the sofa, chattering to the lawyers, i think that we won't get anywhere with this. so is the church now ready to come clean about the extent of abuse in its past? how many cases have there been in the past and today? i was chairing a meeting only a few days ago when actually we gathered many, many statistics and we're very happy now to put those figures into the public domain, we're not trying to hide things. what are those figures? we're building an ongoing picture between years to see how many cases we're looking at, what sort of cases they are. so is it

welcome gentlemen thank you matthew and matthew so muller statement on wednesday is this a game changer on whether to proceed with impeachment of the president let's start with you david. well i think hearing ball bowler speak and hearing him restate in most respects the report but in his own voice standing behind the seal of the department of justice that was a very striking visual and it was a very compelling statement by by bob mohler so i do think that there is increased political pressure not only among democrats but frankly even among some republicans congressman amash as an example that really is is going to put speaker pelosi i think in an increasingly tight position i also think it's noteworthy to look at the democratic presidential field and to see how many of our tier one candidates have come out in favor of beginning in an impeachment proceeding so so yes i think obviously there's there's increased attention and increased pressure and if anything this was about as close to a recommendation for referrals for impeachment the bubble or probably could could make it all for a whi

matthew: that is true. find any sort of relationship between membership in the chowder marching club. and a vote choice in that election. but you are right. they were an important group of republicans in the house of representatives. must have helped hallock overthrow joe martin and then they switched to ford who was a member of chowder marching. and hallock was not. matthew: i have to go back and -- i can see in my mind the list of members in that group. but i am not sure whether we had it at the time that we were doing the analysis. we had to rely on other accounts. it is possible that membership in that group explains the choice and we did the control for it. but in terms -- and i'm thinking about the analysis we do, it does not ring a bell that that group -- >> chowder was more secretive than the other organizations. you might not find the records. matthew: tl. -- yeah. >> in the nancy pelosi case, you did not mention anything about sex. the house democrats, they were female, where they more likely to v

well who i might add matthew complicity of tens of millions of americans who both give huge amount of personal information free to facebook and no charge and they rely on facebook or lot and no use instead of watch you know their news sources so there is this complicity and i think all of us have a responsibility i don't touch. anything. now in terms of any trust there's one 1st stage easy easy case. make them sell off what's out in instagram that's for additional any drugs they should never been allowed to buy this gigantic global what $1000000000.00 and instagram because that is excessive market control stifling competition as far as facebook so i think you have to deal with the privacy issue you have to get much more power to the users whose facebook likes to say they do but they don't because when users started organizing saying facebook users group if facebook threatened lawsuit trademark violation the new user said why are we going to identify yourself we're going to call us a sucker for your answers. so i think the federal trade commission is going to grow a set of teeth becaus

thank you matthew so 1st let's talk about your reaction to what robert muller just said wednesday. well it wasn't a good day yesterday for the president robert mueller basically said if there was no crime he would have said so he also said there was not a total exoneration he kind of contradicted the attorney general on that score he said there was russian interference so the only good thing for republicans and the president was that robert muller will most likely not be testifying before congress but at the same time you know it was symbolically important here's the attorney general of the seal of the justice department the cautious robert mueller not appearing for 2 years and he appears and he's basically a bombshell report i believe that he kind of contradicted william barr did he contradict him. yeah because i think what william barr said was there was no crime william bar also said that almost said he said there was no collusion i think that mahler said maybe not collusion but there was massive interference so i think what muller was trying to do is everybody's interpretating

way that they have a chance to take over is it boris johnson doesn't make is the final ballot as matthew has just said johnson if he makes it will get through but then we're in very dangerous territory because there is no guarantee the parliament will have confidence in boris johnson as prime minister so we could be entering a period of real constitutional crisis in britain because there are several turris who intimated that they will vote against johnson in the commons and that means the queen would have to get involved to decide who should be prime minister when the fundamental point is this whatever boris johnson dars he will he will up to divide people but he will also for the all the people he brings on board he will alienate others so matthews out of the right that he will appeal to the voters who does that to the tory party breaks that party in the last european election by going further towards a no deal but he will also alienate the centrist core of extra manus and moderate leavers who still very conservative who want nothing to do with that kind of policy and that also comes wi

who is right here, matthew? i think there are concerns about some of the meetings that john kerry may have had with the iranian foreign minister. and the content of what those discussions were. this takes place in the context of iran really struggling under the latest round of sanctions, the designation of the irc as a terrorist organization. they are going to start spending the centrifuges again if europe doesn't play. that's nuclear blackmail, and exactly the reason why the letter states nafta deal a year ago this week. >> bret: before anybody knows, the logan act is whatever citizen indirectly or directly carries out correspondence or interest with the intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government of any other officer or agent thereof in relation to any disputes or controversies with the united states or defeats the measurement measures of the united states. it was mentioned about michael flynn and the president mentions it now. >> the president accused michael flynn in the transition

guest: yes, the matthew shepard law passed in 2009. it was an amendment to our hate crimes act that added sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex and disability status. host: there have been a lot of forms of this question coming up from our social media followers. what they to sum up are asking. there is a lot of talk about women's sports and weather transgender men should play in women's sports. does this bill address this in any form or fashion? is this part of the conversation? guest: there is part of the conversation. there is a lot of misinformation. this bill prohibits discrimination in areas like education and ensures transgender girls are treated as boys and transgender boys are treated as boys -- transgender girls are treated as girls and transgender boys are treated as boys. many sports are governed by completely separate bodies like the olympics and would not be covered under this law. host: dan, good morning. commenthi, just had a and agreed with what representative collins said a few minutes ago about the bill. also

matthew, welcome to democracy now!k about why you're focusing on erik prince today. >> i think part of the genesis of this story was that erik prince was sort of gone from the public eye for about 10 years by large after he left the united states. amy: would you say fled the united states? >> that is probably right. he moved his entire family to the united arab emirates. -- the u.s. he was government and the obama administration had soured on erik prince and blackwater and so he needed a new start and he went to the emirates and he found a benefactor there in crown prince mohammed bin ziad, to factor leader of the united arab emirates. he built himself a new program, a new job, a new form of income which was to secret armies, one for the emirates and one in somalia. i think as he has come back with the trump administration, it was important to understand what hit been doing for the last 10 years and really gender stand as he try to pitch in afghanistan and report what he was tried to sell and aogram in venezuela mercen
