murrow lifetime achievement award. - this is len archer, reporting live from the la riots.rlin wall. live from the chilean mine where 33 men remain trapped. how have you been holding up? [speaking spanish] - he's got a good point. - now that's the career of a man who never sold out! if i stood my ground like you did, i could be hosting "the chuck pierce show" right now. you're lucky, len. you get to retire knowing you went out on top. - retire? never! - you're not retiring? "the len archer show" is ending! - on television! they said i wasn't getting the ratings anymore, and they wanted me to share a desk with a young co-host. i told them no way! nobody tells len archer how to do "the len archer show!" that's why we're moving over to youtube red, and the show will stay exactly the way it's always been. plus, there's these teen boys who prank me while i read the news. excuse me. - wait, what? - tensions rise in the middle east as turkey urges iraqi kurds to-- [ping pong balls bouncing] [screaming] - we have had a very clear--a very clear policy...

sayed murrow used and years ago, good night good luck. [applause] >> thank you. thank you. thank you very much. we now have an opportunity for me to keep quiet, and for you to ask questions. and we have two cameras. one there, one there. if you have a question, go to the camera area. it is right there and right here. i will start over here with one young lady. give me your name. ask a question. don't make a speech, or i will be forced to cut you off, and i don't want to do that. go ahead. >> i would like to say thank you for your terrific reporting. especially on both the dea story and the harvey weinstein story, especially as a woman, frankly. you both talked about data, ok, and having more data about your readers. name is joany michel, i'm a reporter. there is a balance here. we have to tell readers what they need to know, which is not always what they want to know, and sometimes, they are in conflict. so, how do you decide what to cover? how much of the readers' opinion and desires to take into account so you don't end up really skewin

in our lives but in history as luck would have it i would wound up working at the usia on edward r murrow to be the director. it was a very exciting time. and it stayed in exciting time for the three years until the president was killed. but during that time i have to be in the library of congress doing some research for some articles we were to include in the magazine i was in a chance upon this big table at the library and the princeton photographs prints and photographs division of photographs taken and johnstown right after the famous disastrous flood of 1889. i have heard about the flood all my life but he really knew nothing about it and i looked at those photographs and saw the devastating destruction and could not believe my eyes and i thought what happened. so i took the book out of the library which was okay but the author didn't really understand the geography of western pennsylvania which i did understand. so i took another book out of the library and it was a potboiler written at the time for full of inaccuracies and so forth. while i was in college i have the good fortune to

murrow are just as true today as they were then. >> we must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. >> president trump, who values loyalty above everything, is said to be in high spirits tonight. after all, senator flake is a thorn in his side and is retiring. but america cannot afford to lose any more men and women of principle. listen to this from senator flake. >> it is often said that children are watching. well, they are. and what are we going to do about that? when the next generation asks us, why didn't you do something? why didn't you speak up? what are we going to say? mr. president, i rise today to say, enough. we must dedicate ourselves to making sure that this never becomes the normal. with respect and humility, we have fooled ourselves for long enough, that a pivot to governing is right around the corner. a return to civility and stability right behind it. we know better than that. by now, we all know better than that. >> let's start our discussion now with my panel. good evening to all of you. thank you for coming on. we heard these astonishing remarks from two republican senators.

charlie: you also met edward r murrow. we think of you as one of our great correspondents.m you. marvin: thank you. charlie: what was the meeting about -- marvin: i went back to harvard and was writing my dissertation and one day i got a call passed on to me by the library and that said edward is calling you. i said it must be a mistake and she came back later and said it is the same guy. i went and picked up the phone and the minute i heard his voice, i realized what a total nut and fool i had been and i apologized immediately. he said no, i read the article you did for the times. he said i really liked it. charlie: on russia? marvin: on russia's youth. he set a liked it and i would appreciate if you come down tomorrow morning. would you be here? i said yes. i got a fresh shirt and went down. it's was supposed to be half hour meeting and we finished our discussion three hours later and ed was the sort of person like you. very curious about the world. wanted to know people. he asked me questions about young russians. what were they like? do they want to go to school? did yo

when mcveigh went to get into his truck, to blow up the murrow building he looked like a soldier whichrybody thought he had been. it raises no suspicions and it worked. that is kind of the world we live in right now. david: by the way, danny, because this is in lower manhattan, this is right around where the world trade centers were, the memory is embedded deep in the minds and hearts of everybody in manhattan that lived through what happened. 16 years ago. all of the businesses now in that area apparently are evacuating. we're told by our own charlie gasparino, that he is told by a sources it is insane down here. there are precautionary ways of dealing with situations that are unresolved of evacuating buildings and so forth but you don't want to cause panic, particularly when there are millions of people still working downtown. who decides what to do with regard to evacuations? is that a police decision, mayoral decision, fbi, who? >> it is really the mayor's office. he will consult with the police commissioner and of course the fbi. they need to do that because in my business is a sa

. >> murrow didn't even take him on until 1954. >> in fact, i have just written an op-ed that you'll see soon that uses that example. mr. welch, you know, have you no decency? enough. and that turned the tide. so, yeah, i do think that there are -- there are certainly parallels. when enough people say, you know, this is enough, we expect different behavior from our commander in chief and the president of the united states then it will change. but it hasn't yet. >> sarah palin and breitbart are saying things along the lines right now that trump broke you. what's your response to that? >> i'm still standing. >> you're still standing. >> no, there are other things in life than politics and i would -- i can tell you when i would be broken, is if i were to say that the path to re-election is to embrace the president's policies that i disagree with and condone his behavior, which nobody should condone. that would be a broken man. who does that. so i feel good about where i am. >> do you think that somebody in the republican party, perhaps you, should challenge the president in 2020? >> i w

they are not spending nearly enough people don't like, it's asking questions, it's kinds of like murroweets charlie rose. netflix is going down and people look at is the price target and come back in versus a j and j, which i'm so glad is up. when goldman sachs put the sell on it, that was rude that was rude. >> you thought that was rude >> delivering 15% growth -- >> that's double zblsh speaking of goldman sachs, it is down. >> i had a feeling >> not a lot you pointed out morgan stanley, which is up 2% and interesting, that little market cap raise between the two is very close, neck in neck. >> i knew they would come after goldman. >> they are not coming after that but the reaction is not uniformly positive, though you were quite positive on the quarter. >> yes, because i am and i think that i've -- i think that the quarter they are going to speak candidly and i like candor but it does tend to send a stock down it's a competitive environment >> within quarter there's been some dissection of their value at risk, which they are being rather cautious, jim -- >> they've been that way remem
