they're putting out these statements that are senshi trying to undermine her and undermine national public radio the president's tweeting saying national public radio should be defunded these are incredible. incredibly destructive to the norms and sort of divisions and respect for the press that have existed under past administrations and i think what we're learning is that these kinds of norms that uphold our democracy that make it possible for citizens to get impartial information make us able to vote fairly that these norms can are only as good as the people we elect into public office unfortunately of our producers tell me we're out of time. but it's not you it's fascinating talking with your appreciate you coming in and. sharing your insights tonight and we'll look forward to your new book as well thank you so much friend and pleasure that i am well the day is almost done the conversation continues online you find us on twitter at news you can follow me you don't need to use the hashtag the day and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see the never. a

as you know a couple of days ago, secretary of state pompeo berated a national public radio reporter for asking appropriate journalistic questions and then yesterday he threw national public radio off his plane for his next trip. that came up in the president's comments. watch the video carefully, because you're in it. >> that was very impressive. that reporter couldn't have done too good of a job on you yesterday, huh? i think you did a good job on her, actually. that's good. thank you. >> why are you patting mike pompeo on the back? >> because i like mike pompeo's views on the middle east. i thoroughly disapprove of the way he has treated a reporter. i don't think reporters should be treated that way in any way and i don't think presidents should say that was good to treat a reporter. but i like mike pompeo's views on the middle east. >> but you patted him on the back when the president was praising him for attacking the reporter. >> i think you're reading too much into that. i had patted him on the back a dozen times when we talked about the middle east. that's what my pat was inte

. >> reporter: for national public radio, it is another day at the office where his cubical doubles asvenue. ♪ i am taylor swift, welcome to my tiny desk concert. >> let's rock this tiny desk. >> dubbed the tiny desk. this space inside washington, d. d.c., hosted close to 1,000 acts. >> we are going to video tape this for our blog and maybe it is a start of something or maybe it is not. ♪ >> reporter: twelve years later, one rule remains, artists must performed unplugged with the band small enough to fit booieh or on the desk. it is a challenge that led to some surprising moment. >> never done anything like this. >> reporter: like t-payne revealing there is a talented voice behind audio tune. and a laugh shared between matt miller and his fans weeks before the rapper's untimely death. >> what's the magic of the tiny desk? >> when do we get to see an artist perform when their noise is not amplified in an awkward setting in broad daylight, it is uncomfortable and marvelous. >> a simple spectacle drawing huge crowds in person and online. it has racked more than 40 million views along. it

national public radio is stated behind the reporter saying she has almost values integrity and they also stand behind the reporter. they are pushing back pretty hard. jon: mark meredith at the white house. thank you. for more on the impeachment trial is the president defense begins let's bring in defense attorney and former federa fedel prosecutor. you listen to two hours of the president's lawyers today, did you like the point that they made and if so which point stood out? >> the first thing they did is what we always do is to consider the optics so they came out and said were not going to use all of our time they only used two hours. that's designed to sent two messages, one we will not bore you by repeating everything over and over for 24 hours like they did. and two, the case is not strong enough and it does not want us spending all of her time. i like that as a trial lawyer, that's the way we think and terms of optically. on the substance, pat cipollone, everyone has their favorites but he comes across as an appellate lawyer in a trial lawyer which is liberator. the trial lawyer is

february 3rd paired let's bring in our panel, marc thiessen, national political correspondent of national public radion." it is true, ascendant bernie sanders, he is ascendant. >> he is the oldest candidate running period, he had a heart attack and he is still doing really well in the polls. broad and tremendous amounts of money and he is doing something now that he said he wasn't going to do. he doesn't like to attack other candidates, he said that is kind of his brand but now he's going after joe biden, so it tells you who he thinks is the biggest obstacle for him. >> bret: julian castro dropping out of the race today, saying he can't compete with money and influence. as you close in on iowa caucuses, what does the picture look like? it's kind of a jump ball. >> it is a jump ball. joe biden is basically exactly where he has been the whole time. 25% support. he's pulling away from the pack because people are rightly concerned he is too old and fragile and not ready to go up against donald trump, but they don't see an alternative because the truth is that both sanders and elizabeth warren are so far t

it's kind of cool to be in this building because a lot of you at home have heard national public radio shows and so here's the mother ship. public citizen as you heard described is a diverse organization. we're founded by ralph nader, who then promptly in 1981 left us, as he does when he found s something and it is on its own feet. he sort of does the fatherhood thing, you're out of the house i'm off to something else. so starting in 1981 we had a new president, different people on the board and global trade watch is the newest division of public citizen. the one thing i want to say before i start talking about the w.t.o. and globalization is just to give the two-second pitch for careers in the public interest. and because you all are in this internship program you already are hip to the notion that a person can actually have a career, a job doing stuff you really care about that makes a difference. but to some degree, anyway when i was in college, i think that was the piece of information a lot of people really weren't that hip to. you actually get paid for doing something you loved t

secretary pompeo criticized the work of an npr host, the state department is retaliating against national public radios a result of this exchange. in response, nbc's chief foreign affairs correspondent tweeted this out saying previous secretaries have fought for press freedoms as a foundational principle around the world, what about here at home. the state department has not responded to requests for comments. >> incredibly troubling developments to say the least. >> it's safe to say this administration has had a lot of animosity towards american journalists in general. it comes from the president. we're now seeing it manifested at the state department with secretary of state pompeo. the language he's using and more importantly, expelling reporters from an upcoming trip i think is something that a lot of americans would be troubled by. >>> let's switch gears and get a check of your weather with nbc meteorologist bill karins. >> good tuesday morning, all the problems are in the middle of the country. that's where we're having a storm system. a little bit of snow for friends in areas of kansas and oklah

a i was there a pompei i was also the man who said a few a few days ago to a reporter for national public radio radio is kelly just before he cursed out or do you think americans care about you crime i think the key thing here will be a after the inclusion of the impeachment trial where we know trump is not going to be convicted will the republicans then swing back and instead of protecting trump put pressure on his and ministration not only to deliver the military assistance that was already pledged but to step out up to give more political backing to ukraine and to distance trump from a lot of important. normally i would say that would be the smart move for republicans but we are in an election year and the republicans are now tied at the hip to donald trump and have only made that type greater in the last few weeks so no i think ukraine is still in a tenuous position with the trump of ministration all right scott lucas live for us from birmingham scott thank you very much. republican senator who democrats hoped would support calling new witnesses said donald trump trials health has no on tha

reporter: the president is congratulating mike pompeo after his aids barred a reporter from national public radio grilling of pompeo. >> that reporter couldn't have done too good of a job on you yesterday. i think you did a good job on her. that's good. thank you. >> reporter: the big question heading into the rest of the week is still whether there are enough republican votes to call for witnesses like former national security adviser john bolton. a source close to president's legal team says they are confident witnesses will not be called but that may be wishful thinking. one other potential witness who would like to be there at the senate trial is the indicted rudy giuliani associate lev parn parnas. parnas's lawyer says they will be there but their client will not because parnas is wearing one of those tracking bracelets on his ankle required by federal authorities. >> all right. thank you. let's gos to capitol hill righ now. i understand republican senators met to discuss potential impeachment trial witnesses. what's the latest? what are you hearing? >> reporter: they talked for about over a

." >> stephen: oh, people heard about it, on radio that was both national and public. ( cheers and applauseeo >> audience: ♪ pompeo >> stephen: note pom-pe-o ♪ i love that, it's just fun. pompeo got some flack for his bizarre bullying, so he doubled down with an official statement, saying, "mary louise kelly lied to me, twice. first, last month, in setting up our interview, and then again yesterday, in agreeing to have our post-interview conversation off the record." adding, "it is worth noting that bangladesh is not ukraine." that's true. ( laughter ) it's also out of nowhere. bangladesh and ukraine are not close to each other, which is why many speculated that pompeo was confusing bangladesh with belarus, which borders ukraine-- exactly the clarity you want from a secretary of state. ( laughter ) ( as pompeo ) "president trump has ordered missile strikes against ireland. i mean, i-ran! sorry. kiss your blarney stone goodbye." of course, like any trump administration official statement, it was a lie. kelly released emails where she let pompeo's team know that she would be asking about ukra
