so they are just stonewalling and look a lot of younger people who have no idea what whitewater was, this is the only thing they are beginning to understand about the clintons i think it's going to have a damaging effect on her campaign. >> the clintons say the clinton foundation is a philanthropy and technically it's true. you have also described it as essentially functionally a super pac that has acted on behalf of the clintons' political ambitions. explain that. >> it is a super fakpac. what ended up happening is when hillary clinton finished her last bid for the presidency all those people who worked for her, all of her campaign staffers that's where they went and parked themselves and while they were there, basically operating a get ready for the next hillary campaign they were putting together all kinds of donors the same donors who were giving money to the clinton foundation look at the list. they are the people that have signed up first for the clinton super pac that's supporting her for president. this is just a shadow political operation. it's very cleverly done because it'

iran has had a strategy to stonewall every inspection regime that has been put in place.ran has had a strategy to stonewall every negotiating effort. we're rewarding that behavior. i also think that tactically from negotiating point of view it is a huge error for the president of the united states to declare victory in a rose garden ceremony when only a framework agreement has been decided, because what that signals is that this president is now committed publicly to getting the deal done. so my prediction is that what the iranians will do on the other side is spending the next two months trying to get a better deal. that is what happens in negotiations. i have never negotiated an iranian nuclear deal, but i have negotiated big deals. you have to be willing to walk away from the table, and you cannot get so committed publicly that it does not really matter what deal you get. and i am afraid that is what is happening. finally, i would say there are people at the negotiating table with us whose side i am not sure they are on. so russia -- russia is not on our side in this n

and so moving on now, stonewalling is what she learned to do during her husband's administration and with impeachment proceedings. and that's not going to divide the clinton haters versus the clinton lovers more than they were already divided, people love her are going to say that this is pointless mudslinging, they don't play by the rules, they will never play by the rules, then the situation changes. kennedy: when will there be an investigation? >> i would like to look into some of the dealings of former president gerald ford, which received millions and millions of dollars from drug addax. >> [inaudible] >> i am simply saying that on one hand, like $5000 versus itchy meth heads, you know, i'm talking about dirty algerians as far as i am concerned. >> okay, you worry. >> yes, i do. that is because books are a wonderful tool for learning. in the means that she is against literacy. >> i'm worried for her campaign because literacy is important for this campaign and she's in favor of book burning. and you could fill a wall of a small library. >> in dc there is a pile of lincoln books.

there was a strong appeal by a theology professor to get some -- who had been on stonewall jackson'sderados. he made an especially strong appeal to mrs. thornton who lived over here on beach street because her husband was killed at sharpsburg, loevited their home here but she had four young boys and he said they have their chance of full development to get out of here and go to brazil. her local minister, the pastor of the presbyterian church told him to leave his parishioners alone that he would their spiritual advisers.

the iranians have stonewalled the investigation and the u.s. and its partners have said that it is important that this issue be resolved. at this point, given the iranian stonewalling, it is highly unlikely that the iaea can fully resolve its concerns before a june deadline. the question now is whether a schedule will be reached once the agreement goes into force. why have the negotiators apparently fallen short of reaching an agreement on a complete political framework. i think the main reason is that the iranians have dug in their heels on some critical issues. they have not displayed enough flexibility to reach effective compromises on these matters. some speculate it is tactical. the iranians may have concluded that the u.s. team was under so much pressure from the congress to get a deal that the u.s. and its partners would make all of the remaining concessions. i don't know if that is the case. it may also be not a tactical explanation, but that iran's supreme leader has laid out some very tough redlines and no one is prepared to cross tho

. >> reporter: despite the stonewalling, residents were still able to reach legal settlements in morehan 100 cases, costing the city over six million dollars. how did baltimore get to such a low point? in other cities, like north charleston or ferguson, where black men have been victimized by police, the assumption has been that if minority communities were more fully represented on the police force and in city hall then their deaths may not have occurred. but, baltimore has a black mayor, a black police commissioner, a largely black city council and a diverse police force. that's not enough according to lawrence bell, himself a former elected official. it's less about the color of the officer it's about the culture. >> it's kind of an old boy network. it's very military to a large extent. and there are people who have been recruited, many of whom have a spirit of service but then you have people who have a spirit of adventurism. and they're people recruited from outside the city who see african american men and see the enemy. >> i know we need to make changes. we need to change the c

last may at the stonewall inn in new york, we announced a national park service effort to identity placested with the lbgt rights movement for inclusion in our parks system. we commemorate our past and learn from it, to remember not only what is noble and good but also what is unjust and shameful, what we might otherwise choose to ignore or forget. today i stand before you, an immigrant woman, serving in the cabinet of an african-american president and say i'm proud to tell these stories through the service and proud to march with you as we continue the path toward a more perfect union. in the spirit of abraham lincoln, malice toward none and charity for all, i ask that we hand in hand together press forward on this journey. thank you. >> thank you madame secretary. thank you so much for being with us today. arguably the most well known facet of abraham lincoln's second inauguration was his inaugural address. the second shortest inaugural address in american history, though likely the most memorable in language and content. joining us this morning to shed light on the address is dr. lucas

you find a way past the stonewall. suddenly, you are in a world where things work.t is a lot to do with the atmosphere. if we could change that prime minister's question time so that the constant thing wasn't there. how do we work to make this a better country? how do we not have this tension of the competition of political parties? the worse it gets, the more i say, bring it on. the closer we are to change. guy: the biggest economic problem we seem to face is productivity. how productive are the guys who work for you? how would you make them more productive? simon: i don't run any of our business is on a day-to-day anymore. with in all the yo businesses everybody who is there one study there for the most part. it is a very flat decision-making process. i can't explain how that happens. maybe i have a little credit. there is a culture. it is a great place to work. people are proud of it. that is not the magical thing in the board room. that grows over time. even in bloomberg, you get the feeling that here's a group of people wanting to do something really great. did

for them this is a solid stonewall. then they start thinking, old spanish fort and spain made a lot of money on silver and secret rooms skperl i retirement. so the post got gold fever and he got lowered in a rope and he got down and he found that doorway sealed in and that's when he got gold fever and he kicked his way through. got into there and he felt this huge black mound was all the treasure chest and he was going to dig into it and find his gold. ultimately when the army breaks through this doorway and they dig that room out they find the head of over 100 -- find the bones of over 100 longhorn cattle and pigs, goats and chickens and human leg and foot that were taken by the doctors. believe it or not, those human bones and all those other bones are the little seed of truth about all the people being sealed up in the walls of the fort and dungeon inside the fort it all comes from that history all the way back in 1702. there's a lot more to this fort being a military fortification because this fort was built to prot

repeat, with the tools they need to close the wage gap yet time and time again republicans have stonewalled this most basic issue of fairness. five years ago republicans filibustered the paycheck fairness act. two years later republicans did the same thing. last year, they blocked the bill two times. just last month during the budget debate, senator mikulski again gave republicans another chance. once again republicans blocked it. five times in five years republicans have blocked equal pay for women. five times in five years republicans have told their very own sisters daughters and wives and of course their grandchildren that they're not interested in fixing this unfair income disparity. that is why i say republicans own the wage gap they own it. so today as we recognize equal payday i hope my republican colleagues will come to their senses and address this injustice that hurts millions of american families. american women deserve equal pay for equal work. my daughter deserves equal pay for equal work. would the chair announce the business of the day? the presiding officer: under the previ

he has stonewalled legitimate investigations by the congress including the investigation into the "fast & furious" episode that senator grassley referred to earlier, making bogus claims of executive privilege in order to keep congress and the american people from finding out the facts. we know that the attorney general has repeatedly made legal arguments that have been rejected as unconstitutional by the united states supreme court and he has harassed states like mine and i suspect you will hear from another colleague about his state, on matters like voter i.d. when the united states supreme court has upheld the validity of voter i.d. as a means to protect the integrity of the ballot for people who are qualified to vote. and at the same time, the attorney general has failed to implement laws that congress has passed in order to provide, to protect voting rights of our military deployed overseas. he has also politicized the war on terror. he has declassifieded top secret legal memos exposing public officials in the intelligence community to not only ridicule but threats legal and otherwi
