we need to come together around the foundational freedoms that should unite us all to like freedom of the press. congratulations to robin and jerry. when the washingtonress club started a century ago, this country was in the thick of the women's suffrage movement. the 19th amendment was still being ratified. while activists picketed at the white house demanding the right to vote, women reporters in town were fighting another battle. they were being kept out of newsrooms and off of byline , so for $2.50 in membership, they could join the women's national press club and have a fighting chance at document he the stories of the day. today, the fight to tell the stories that matter remains at the heart of the washington press club foundation's work. i know these are exceptionally unusual, difficult, even challenging times to do your job. if i want -- if i have a closing message for you, it is that we are grateful for what you do in holding us accountable, keep fighting the good fight. america needs you. thank you.

heart wrenching stories and he layered down the people, he went to young black father who got a kid who got shot in inner city of washington, d.c., the press never even talked about that. how did president trump have the ability, the understanding, the empathy as we say in italian -- because we don't talk about that. neil: why did he then -- he went to alec baldwin.

the washington post. read the detroit free press. >> there's been several studies done in michigan. >> the for profit schoolsn the non-profit charter schools. i'm talking about the for profit charter schools. there's more thanks to betsy devos than any other state. $1 billion of michigan public money is going to charter schools in michigan. that is thanks to her advocacy. the idea that she does not have the responsibility to know that test scores are declining in michigan. that michigan schools are in trouble after this being her life work and why she got this job in addition to the money she gave donald trump. it's ludicrous. that was shameful interview. >> senator, let me ask you about that interview. there were some moments in it and i watched the whole thing that were cringe worthy. you may have felt the same way. one of them was this one when she was asked whether she had visited schools in michigan that are struggling to figure out what the problems are. i want to replay that exchangs one more time. >> you seen the really bad schools maybe try to figure out what they're doing. >> i have not -- i have n

well, i ended up working for the associated press in chicago, and then i ended up in washington for themg the pentagon. and i like military people, and i like people the intelligence community, as critical as i can be, because there's a lot of very good ones. and at that time, i was very aggressive and energetic, and i wouldn'tjust take briefings, i ran around and talked to people, like i think one should. i don't want a briefing, i want to know for myself what's going on. and so, i began to get into the cynicism of the officer corps about the war and they — i began to meet officers. america's... like your country, we're a very open society, and before long, they're telling me it's a bloodbath. and so, i knew there was trouble and so when i got a tip... ijust, somebody called up one day and said to me, "hersh, maybe you'll chase it, there's a terrible story." and ijust tried to run it down, it took a little while, i eventually learned the name calley from an officer. that's important because this gentleman, william calley, who was a lieutenant, i think, leading a platoon, c company, char

i think the institutions in washington from the fbi, the press, congress, is simply disintegrating over this russian collusion story. it's damaging our institutions. if robert mueller has something big on trump, so be it. if he's thinking about a minimal charge, he will be pitching it into a damaging political crisis and that's why i think he should pull back and shut down if that's all that's going on. >> and the president answering that shouting question saying yes, i would like to testify. what is digenova going to do about that? >> i think joe digenova's role is to protect the president's interests as the president understands it. the president is always making deals on the side. he expects joe digenova to protect him as donald trump. don't sell me out. don't let the other side of the team make me do something that i really don't want to do. at the center of it is the issue of whether he should sit down and talk to robert mueller's lawyers. >> what a day it's been. out of all of this news, john dowd going away and the trade tariffs announced in the noon hour. thanks, dan. >> thank y

we saw headlines in the financial press, washington was willing to moderate their position on trade, vis-a-vis china, clearly that was going to be a positive, but, i thought there was so much damage done last night, so much uncertainty created in the markets which the markets can't stand that they would be follow-through today. so i was clearly pleasantly surprised about today's move in. fact, the truth be known, caught kind of flat-footed, i would have been a better seller than buyer this morning. david: teddy, you're the perfect person to have on because i'm wondering if you recognize something melissa and i have been talking about for weeks? on one hand president trump comes out with all the doom and gloom about trade. when it comes to actual negotiations you find out for example, with steel and aluminum, it essentially only applies to one country right now, that is china. everybody else got an exemption, no matter what we heard at first. so first glance of some of these things may be off-putting, once you see negotiation take place you realize it will be beneficial for the market

the good of somebody there let's close to samir acoa know washington d.c. correspondent hello to you because through what was said well the state department held a press briefingtoday and as you can imagine the main topic of discussion was washington's expulsion of russian diplomats over the alleged poisoning of a former double agent and his daughter on british soil a spokeswoman now or was bombarded with questions regarding evidence or lack thereof most boil down to whether the u.s. possesses any concrete evidence linking russia to the crime check it out for yourself. how do you know these specific sixty people were that would you know that would be an intelligence that i mean can you give us any kind of example of what these people were doing that made them not real diplomats i don't have access to that kind of information were they jumping the subway turnstile to show me that we're not actually ok years ago you're being funny it's different with the u.n. i don't you have to provide evidence to the u.n. and i think i just answered that but i don't know the answer to that if i can get an answer for you i would be happy to provide something up for you while an
