outlets in the state house, laying press. pitts filed a bill a couple weeks back- proposing what he bill. in his press conference today, pitts expressed frustration saying there was too much bias in reporting, citing specifically a report in charleston's post and courier regarding his use of campaign expenditures on a hunting trip- and coverage by national outlets which picked up the story. he also compared his registry bill to concealed weapons permit registration- saying he was trying to make a point on difference in news coverage of the first amendment versus the but by the process, i became the face nationally of the guy that wanted to keep the flag flying...that was the furtherest thing from the truth. what i wanted was the same

from the national press club, this is an hour. >> welcome to the national press club. my name is john hughes. i'm an editor for bloomberg first news. i am the 108th president of the national press club. our speaker today is representative mac thornberry. he's the chairman of the house armed services committee. before i tell you more about him, i want to introduce this distinguished head table we have with us today. these head table members include guests of our speaker and they also include national press club members. i ask each person to stand when their name is announced and sta starting from the audience's right, carl, washington columnist from the "dallas morning news." tom, pentagon correspondent for usa today. ellen mitchell, reporter for inside t army. mark, director of publications institute for aerospace studies. captain miles miller, who is our speaker's defense fellow. casia, a bloomberg news reporter who is the incoming chair of the national press club speakers committee. skipping over our speaker for a moment, pat host, a reporter for defense daily and th

it got huge attention in the beltway press today. and it's interesting because it's no secret that the republican party establishment is worried about donald trump. right? they're worried about what donald trump is doing to the republican party as an institution. what his front running candidacy is doing to the whole idea of what it means to be a republican. it's one thing, though, to know that in the abstract. it's another thing to see it. it's another thing to know what that sounds like word for word behind closed doors when the republican establishment thinks they're alone trying to figure out how they're going to do something about it. just fascinating. that was kind of the front page of the beltway press today. the home town press, though, was probably even worse today for chris christie. worse today for chris christie than i think it was for any of the other republican presidential candidates who made it onto that main debate stage last night. >> let's set the facts straight. first of all, i didn't support sonia sotomayor. seco

thank you for being with us on press conference usa. >> this has been press conference usa.ur guest has been the reverend dr. martin luther king. on the panel were george enninful, united nations correspondent. t.v. parasuram, washington correspondent for the indian express newspapers. and william workman, associated editor of the state and the columbia record in columbia, south carolina. the moderator was robert lodge. >>> in july 1962 martin luther king jr. was the first african-american to speak at the national press club in washington. recently members of the club located 53-year-old recordings of the speech and organized a panel of civil rights leaders and journalists to discuss its importance. this event includes portions of king's remarks. it's about an hour and a half. >> good evening, ladies and gentlemen. welcome to the national press. i'm john hughes. i'm the president of the national press club. i'm also an editor for bloomberg news. we are here for a special event. for the first time in 53 years, we will hear martin

is here is the oldest press the we have, not the oldest we ever had. when my dad started printing, they had to make their own type and my brothers learned how to do that when my sister and i got a job collating or sweeping, making to the fish sandwiches, i did have done in the, typesetter a little later. i remember when my father was able to afford a brand new press it was an exciting time, was very proud of it. this young man comes in the store and wants to know if he had a job and my dad asked what his name was and he said morgan freeman. what can you do? he said i am a dancer and my dad said we can't use any dancers around here but he offered to show him how to work the press. we call him the dancing pressman and one day he wound up dancing, doing something and dropped a monkey wrench into the brand new press for a $10,000 fix. but my dad being who he was said you really need to get on with your career, you want to go to new york and gave him the money to get out there and get away from his press. >> we had really big authors here, big list authors,

to "meet the press."anel members do not necessarily reflect their own point of view. >> our guest today is daniel p monahan, the former secretary of labor and the author of the controversial study, the negro family. our other members are robert novak and richard blurry on he of nbc news. we will continue the questions now with mr. novak. >> there was no criticism of your report until after the watts riots. was there a cause and effect relationship? >> perhaps there were not -- was not as much attention. perhaps people were just disagreeing with something they had not noticed in the past. there has been almost no criticism of the report because it simply states a set of facts. these are accurate statistics. most of them are available if you dig through those census volumes. what are we going to do about them? >> mr. monahan, as you well know, there was an undercurrent of criticism of the moynahan report at the conference of civil rights a month ago because... all of the report is facts, but is criticism, i

. >>> plus the press says hillary clinton is in trouble. weren't the pun debts just telling us she was inevitable? i'm howard curtis. and this is "mediabuzz." >>> just back from las vegas where i went to the trump hotel and interviewed donald trump, a 17-point lead in new hampshire and fox news polls just out this morning making him still the republican candidate to beat. after months of attacking the press as dishonest and slimy, you seem mostly to be toning it down a bit. have you gone from nuclear to low-level war fare? >> you know, i started out of because ofly with zero, and now i'm up at 42. i think i'm probably a bit different. you have to change a little bit. i think i'm a little different. i do very well. >> are journalists treating you with new respect, because they think you may win? >> not all, but some of them. "wall street journal" has changed their views, and i've gained respect. some of the other have changed their views, and rightfully so. i'm not saying it from smile standpoint, but we've done a good job. "time" won one of

so here is the oldest press that we have that is not the oldest we ever had. my dad started printing. my brothers learned how to do that. my sister and i got god collating and stapling and making tuna fish sandwiches. although i did become a typesetter little bit later. way back when my father was finally able to afford it brand-new prius and it was a big was a big-time inexpensive and all that, but he got it and so one day this young man he wants to have a job and my dad asked him what his name was. he said morgan freeman. he said what can you do? he said well, i am a dancer. my dad said well, we can't use any dances but he offered to show him how to work the press. and he wound up one day to read something and chomps of monkey wrench into the press for about a $10,000.6. my dad being who he was said you really need to get non-with your career. you want to go to new york and gave him the money to get out there and get away from the press. we've had some really big authors didn't hear and a lot of unknown authors. we had terry mcmillan when she only had one bo

young says that will be open to the press and public. kolo 8 news now. wages are down in almost every major u-s city. that's according to a new study of the 100 biggest metropolitan areas. almost all cities saw improvement in other areas like employment or productivity. but most of them saw less pay for workers. the wage decline affected minorities the most. only eight of those 100 areas saw wages and employment rates rise and lower poverty rates.### if you were the victim foreclosure or predatory lenders - you may think you don't have the credit you need to own your own home, but that might not be true. kolo 8 news now's kendra kostelecky joins us in studio with a look help. it's called "home again" it's not new... but it has been extended through 2017... and attorney wants to make sure that the people who need it nats make the call yourself to find out - a no fee public service this public service announcement debuted as attorney general adam laxalt spoke to the reno sparks association of realtors. he and other - local politicians getting the word out

what i wonder is why the press is about recovering the isis is. >> i would argue the press has been covering the isis is. maybe one of the biggest barriers perhaps it is the access. it's very difficult to get into syria and iraq were a lot of these militants are but i would argue there hav has been some gt coverage. one that pops to mind maybe because conference of the author, the "huffington post" published an investigative piece into the mothers of some of these europeans and to have gone, the become isis militants and how that process happen and why it happened. i think we are starting to see more of it but i think you are right there should be more coverage of the but think a lot of it is just the barriers to being able to go there and live through it and be able to go there and get access to the. i think certain outlets has done a lot of great coverage, getting in there, buzzfeed as well. spewing the atlantic has a big investigation with isis really wants spent and also there's a real change in the culture of the building of journalists to function across the planet. terrorism is a thin

if i can add a point of personal privilege, my family watched that news press conference.here in our television room with our swanson tv dinners on our little metal trays and we watched it and kennedy wowed us and the yi in the way he took charge. it was right after that great inaugural address. the atmospherics were such a contrast with president eisenhower who by the way was an excellent president and is underrated frequently. but he was 70 years old. john kennedy was 43 and had this young family and all these new, young, energetic people with him. the electricity came across the television set. >> yeah and there would be many more to follow. they got funnier. he was cautious as a new president, joking too much. that would change as time went on and some of the goofy questions went on. but what i was amazed at and you've written about, if he didn't know he didn't know. if he didn't want to elaborate he didn't elaborate but it was boom, boom, boom. maybe it goes to the nature of our times but presidents since and in controversy since, presidents have had to be almost surg

clinton responded on nbc's meet the press. (nbc - meet the press) sot - hillary clinton / (d) presidential candidate "the way i read what he said was if i didn't get the nomination he might consider it. well, i'm going to relieve him of that and get the nomination so he doesn't have to." clinton raked in the endorsements over the weekend. nats "...ted cruz yells..." this morning, ted cruz got the support of former texas governor rick perry. but it's sarah palin's endorsement of trump that brought the laughs on saturday night live... (saturday night live) natsot -- darrel hammond: "she's a firecracker. she's a real pistol. she's crazy, isn't she?" tina fey: "ka-ka-ka-ka-ka-ka- ka!" kenneth moton oncam close: recent polls for iowa still have trump and sanders in the lead. today alone, all of the candidates have more than two dozen campaign stops in iowa planned. kenneth moton, abc news washington tim: former republican texas governor rick perry is cruz for president. people who have a primary right now, he believes most consiste

a press conference and, again, there at the press conference the opposition made their conditions clear. >> translation: we wish to see forward reaching the starving to death women and children. we wish to see the women released from the regime's prisons. we wish to see the criminal murderous aerial bombardment by the russian jet fighters coming to an end >>> james, seeing it's quite a fast-moving story on the ground where you are, but do we know if these demands are not met but the opposition are putting forward, then will they still negotiate? >> reporter: i think that's the big question. i'm joined by one of the hnc members. you've just come out of the meeting with another meeting, not staffan de mistura. what was it about? >> it was very positive. we are still consulting and we're going to given you an official statement soon, but we're ready, we're looking forward, but especially we need to get the confidence-building measures especially in regard of the humanitarian issues and the women detainees. >> reporter: i will caulk about women in a moment-- talk about women in a moment, bu

is either limited or nonexistent so there is a surrogate free press. radio free europe is doing that in the balkans and central asia as a middle east broadcasting network and rfa is doing it around the periphery of china etc., etc.. voa is not a surrogate. it tells america's story in places around the world that don't hear america's stories. it's journalism. stories about america, often governmental stories and my hope is it will expand to a broader swath of information about america, entrepreneurialism, how , finance, how to start a business, stories that are not being told globally that are coming out of american can be told. but there are parts of the world where voa is also a surrogate and that's in central africa. so the only independent news in many parts of america doing surrogate news. when burkina faso had that problem the only reporter in the air who went down with the voice recorder. when the shootings, the terrible shootings in paris went down it just so happened that a voice of america reporter was in paris and was able to do reporting for

when they sent out the press reason -- press release a little some key ourne by person along with roger ailes, i said goodbye, ok? excuse me, just so you understand. i have done six debates. according to every single poll, i have one every single debate. i probably won the last one more than any of them. every single poll has me winning every single debate. how many debates do you have to do? the democrats are finished with the debates. everepublicans go on for and ever and ever with debates. 1%have people that have 0%, and nothing. it is time that somebody plays grown-up. i see a press release written by a child, what do i have to do? why do i have to make fox rich? why not make the wounded voyeurs rich? this is pretty close to your revocable. great in iowa.do i love i will. i did -- i do not think iowa will care. this country needs is a dealmaker. we need someone that will make great deals with russia, china and japan. what do we get? we have deficits with these countries. we need people who know what they are doing. we do not need babies. they are not dealing with a baby. we will see

and we will talk to ayasdi -- >>> welcome back to "press: here." if you are just joining us we were talking to venture capitalist have a node could say las about ayasdi. he has joined the u.s. government's department of defense in funding the big data company. big data is a big buzzword. one of our challenges is describing how ayasdi does big data differently through topological analysis. the shape of data can tell you something about the data. stay with us, it's easier than you think. this is a graph of my salary over time starting with my first job out of college. the shape shows -- the shape of the data shows i'm generally on the right path. here is a graph showing eruptions of old faithful, shape tells us there are two a day, one is much bigger than the other. that's easy stuff one year regression. let's step up to what ayasdi done. this is a graph of data of knee replacements performed by a president who. i cannot interpret this data at all but the mathematicians and computers at ayasdi can and it tells them all kinds of things. gurjeet singh

and being petulant about a fox news press release which, by the way, i thought was a pretty stupid press almost designed to start the fight over the weekend. but, being petulant about that shrinks him, in terms of whog he should be. if he wants to lead a movement. but his followers and his voters and devotes. i didn't think the press release was foolish. i thought it was satirical. rising above the pettiness and saying okay, you are going to get upset about this. you will have a lot more to give. they did it in a clever way. anybody making a big deal about that, it's a matter of style. some people like that and some people don't. final word on this. the republican party, you know, it's chaos now. do you think -- >> -- sure. >> anything is ever going to come together. >> of course. eventually we have a nominee. here's the only thing that i would say about where trump is right now. it's a long way. we haven't had our first vote. that's coming next monday. it's a long way. what he doesn't want to do is leave enough space for somebody to start growing in to being a real competitor in additio

he expressed skepticism and fox put out the press release -- >> is it so much the press release -- sos not just looking for any excuse? >> no. it's possible that fox overreacted and then trump overreacted. sometimes it's petty personal disputes and yet these are playing out on an internation stage. >> fox says no. senator john mccain blitzer. here's his take. >> anyone who is running for office and gets to pick who the moderator is, that's the destruction of free press as we know it. and, second of all, i think that of part of it is to blame the media, they've basically given him a free pass. he calls in on the sunday talk shows. he deech sidcides which program on and which he isn't. he's able to fill the room and take all the oxygen out of it at the same time. so the media in their desperation to have him on all the time to increase ratings, they've probably given him the confidence to do a so-called veterans event. >> the destruction. free press, frank? >> not quite that bad but it's very serious. there are very strict rules and has had for years now that the candidate does not choo

he said when he tried to press the brake nothing happened. he said he repeatedly tried to do that for several blocks. coasted through a few traffic let's and as he got to this intersection ass at south west 32 avenue drifted into oncoming traffic where police say he hit that small suv that then bumped into the miami-dade police car. we were actually able to speak to the driver of that car about what led up to this accident and miami-dade police about what they are doing in this investigation. >> like i couldn't stop. the brake wouldn't stop. and the car hit me. i was really y ared really scared and nervous.

what i did is i pressed them, i thawed them -- not thaw, i pressed them like you do frozen spinach. the thing with the collard greens, when you press them, what i do, i use a potato ricer. if you have one at home and you never know what to do with it, you can use it to press your collard greens. all you have to do is get it mixed up together, preheat your oven to 350 degrees, put the collard greens in there. that's two whole cans worth. once you press out the water and everything -- the the brian brine, you would be surprised how much water there is. put it in an eight by eight greased pan. i top it off with crumbled bacon. keep the bacon off. if you want to do it because bacon makes everything better. crumble the bacon on top and mix it in with it. bake it in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. it will be nice and crispy on top. serve it with crackers warm. wait until you taste it. collard greens into your family's diet. lot of people won't even realize it. go to our website, wlos.com. click on the carolina kitchen link. check us out on pinterest. check out bruce's restaurant in mari

i think it was hard fore the press to score it. >> i think the press felt that jeb bush did good job and i think for the most part his campaign has been thinking, thank goodness, why didn't he show up in the first debate? >> where in the world was he? >> but again, the press is covering it as rubio has the momentum in iowa -- >> even though he's in third place? >> well, honing in on his faith, crowds and enthusiasm, he's doing very well in iowa. maybe third or second place. >> the "des moines register" poll came out, cruz has a lead over trump. hillary with a three-point lead over bernie sanders. that's pretty tight. let's go around quickly. this is a largely civil debate except for a couple of patches. then some journalists said it was tepid, vanilla. has trump changed the rules of the game so that people now want, you know, the kind of more raucous reality tv version? >> yes. >> okay. >> when you look at the twitt twitter -- you know, the postings. again, like the social media barometer was that even that trump wasn't there, he was getting the most mentions on twitter. even though

pressed last month why you supported immigration. you claimed you didn't. you act like you just saw that. you argued it was a poison pill amendment, basically designed to kill the bill and get it through. >> that is not, however, how it sounded at the timet. watch. >> i don't want immigration reform to fail. i want immigration reform to pass. >> that would fix the problem and also allow for those 11 million people who are here illegally, a legal status with citizenship off the table. >> was that all an act? it was pretty convincing? >> what is particularly insulting, though, he is the key of saying, oh, you are for amnesty, everybody is for amnesty, except ted cruz. it's a falseness, that's an authenticity problem. >> this is the lie ted is, throughout this campaign, you have been willing to say or do anything in order to get votes. you worked for george bush's campaign. you helped design george w. bush's immigration policy. >> 13 republican senators endorsed other candidates. none have endorsed you. does your style sometimes get in the way of your ability

it's the most controlled he's been in a press conference. he looks like the grown-up and he's exactly right. people are going, wait, i want to see 12 people at stage at 1% or 2% with moderators that weren't fair last time? this is pretty simple. >> and there's been six debates, i think. >> and it's pretty simple. all he's saying is -- you know, i've got somebody that's been hostile against me now for six months. it doesn't make a lot of sense. >> joining us by phone we have donald trump's campaign manager corey line dough ski. corey, good morning. >> good morning. >> any chance he will do this debate in any way, shape, or form? any way to turn this around? >> i don't think so. what you have with mr. trump is a clear leader, a person who he said it best is not going to be toyed with. a person who understands when a bad deal is in front of him and is ready to walk away from a bad deal, something this country should be able to do. i don't see any way where fox is going to have a successful debate now when you have the clear gop front-runner who

it is now time for the press review. villeminot is with us on the set with a look at what is grabbing headlines around the world. a lot of focus again on the rising tensions between saudi arabia and iran. flo: the gloves are really off in the region. two articles, one from the iranian press. the conservative paper goes out against the saudi royal family. a bunch of bedouins who have built their authority on a mountain. essentially using the same terrorist methods, but let's look at the saudi press. they are not mincing their words with respect to iran. this article says iran is a terrorist republic, always obsessed with conspiring and spreading hate among muslims. iran.ng ties with that is a victory for peace and humanity. genie: several papers are trying to define what is behind these tensions. here, thisn see french paper is wondering why saudi arabia is provoking the -- is provoking iran. execution oft the april, and it shiite muslim ferrick would spark outrage. maybe that is what saudi arabia wanted. -- a shiite musl

but the press conference in its entirety is available online. just look for this story on the homepage. ww wis news 10 . the palmetto state's jobs picture is staying strong. today the south carolina department of employment and workforce reported that unemployment in the state stayed unchanged in december at 5.5 percent. while that number stayed the same, the number of people working in the state actually went up by more than 10-thousand. nationally, the unemployment rate held steady at 5 percent in december. 100 new jobs are coming to a company that will make cushions and pillows for outdoor and indoor furniture is relocating to the area. 3-i products announced it is investing three million dollars to renovate an existing building near interstate 77. the plant is expected to fully open in the spring. jobs will be created over five years. there will soon be a new man in charge of the chapin police department. today the town announced it hired seth zeigler to lead the department. zeigler is a chapin native and has been serving as a captain of the

we report on press freedom violation all around the world. a network of local journalists report for us in 130 countries to monitor press freedom violations. one year ago, i was working at our paris office on january 7. one year after, i still don't have the right words to express that shock. in the newsroom, with automatic weapons, it was something we could hardly imagine. and actually, paris was attacked again. we were even more hurt just a few months ago. we observed that these last years have been marked by an extreme level of violence targeting journalists. we all have in mind the carefully staged beheadings of journalists, the "charlie hebdo" attacks, the increase of kidnappings. 110 journalists have been killed in 2015. 110. the deadliest countries were syria, iraq, and france. i look forward to our discussion today. i want to thank caroline fourest for being with us from paris. i will start with her today, to year from her. i want to thank robert corn-revere, renaud beauchard, gene policinski, and had us gold. thank you for being here
