washington's mother. that's what you're going to hear about tonight. join me in welcoming dr. martha saxton. [applause] saxton: thank you for that kind introduction. it is a pleasure to be here and see such a wonderful audience to celebrate women's history month. it is great. it is a great honor to be here. i have been back and forth for many years. this is my first time trying to get back what mount vernon has given me. i came across marybelle washington while i was researching "being good." i was surprised to find that george washington, like many sons in 18th-century virginia, was aggravated in his dealings with his widowed mother over money. i was surprised because he was so wealthy, of course, and so famous for being well behaved. i did not know a great deal about george washington, and certainly nothing about his mother. this did -- the picture did not seem quite right. in looking for more context, i came across a handful of that come from washington's document that have until recently constituted e

we have joe he is a fellow at the arab center washington d.c. and in london we have jonathan steele he's an international affairs commentator originally cross-talk rules in effect that means he can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate joe lauria let me go to you first in washington i'm titling this program stumbling into war you know the more i think about that the events that are unfolding in front of us are so many different angles to look at how a possible conflict could come about what worries you the most in the wake of the decision to walk away from the nuclear deal with iran go ahead joe lauria in washington what worries me most true words john and bolton yes john bolton the national security adviser has been has been making speeches and writing articles for years about regime change in iran he backs this group which was on the terrorism list state department terrorism list he now is in the passenger seat with a very unsteady driver and netanyahu has one hand on the wheel netanyahu has been able to manipulate trump very easily

he promised to drain the swamp and clean up washington. democrats welcomed this promise when he made it. all of us here today have been working for years to promote ideas and legislation that would loosen the grip of special interests on so many arms of the federal government. but president trump, when it comes to draining the swamp, has been a complete and total disappointment. president trump has embraced the most egregious establishment republican norms, and appointed the most conflict of interest-ridden cabinet in my lifetime. the swamp has never been more foul or more fetid than under this president. every day it seems there's a new story about the swamp cabinet. just look at the swampy actions that finally forced out h.h.s. secretary tom price. e.p.a. administrator scott pruitt's almost daily scream of corruption. or o.m.b.'s mick mulvaney caught on tape saying access to him had to be bought. he wasn't even ashamed. even the president's personal attorney, michael cohen, who doesn't work in the white house, was cashing checks in excha

that is the rescue of george washington's portrait when the british were invading washington in 1814. as dolley told the story to her sister lucy, she remained at the white house waiting for james to return from the battle of bladensburg, where of course the local militia are not successful at keeping the british out of d.c. in the meantime, she is busy directing servants to fill a wagon with valuables of the white house. a part of this that is often overlooked because we focus so much on the washington portrait. but she saved the cabinet papers , into me, that is something we should not lose sight of. we know so much about the founding period because the papers were not burned in the white house. dolley does order that general washington's portrait be saved and not be left to be vandalized. it was mailed in a wooden frame so it had to be removed, and it was taken and rolled up and she puts in safekeeping. then and only then do she agree id she agree to evacuate. and her pluck during these perilous moments, partly true and partly mythologized at the time, did then and now earned the g

many ladies of washington, including mrs. madison went to the galleries of congress and went to listen to the supreme court. dolley always remained above the political fray. she often quoted her formula for the nonpartisan sentiment saying "i do not admire the contentions of parties political or civil. i would rather fight with my hand than my tongue." the white house is not the only place for dolley practicing politics. she and her sister would host sometimes at the white house when president jefferson had women in the company. dolley's entertaining even more at the madison home and it is the new power hub. margaret byrd smith records about the situation. after the president's house, the house of the secretary of state was the resort of most company, even party spirit, maryland by her gentleness was disarmed by the asperity. individuals who never visited the president or met any other ministerial houses could not resist the softening influence of her disposition. dolley's hospitality had a couple of purposes. she is creating

and martha washington? >> it is not a question i can fully answer. they saw each other from time to time. when george sort of made that happen. he saw his mother much more then they saw each other as a trio. as far as i know, she never went to mount vernon. at least after the marriage, there is no record she did. she did not go anywhere. i do not know that she was not welcome there, but she also did not go anyplace else either. she was very happy george got married. she helped him prepare for the wedding and when there was an emergency and his luggage did not arrive on time, she made that happen. they were very different. martha was from a different class in some ways. mary was -- she spoke her mind. elite. the gentry in this time became more and more gentrified. george and martha are in a class that is becoming more and more rarefied from mid to late 18th century. mary does not dress well. george talked about it. he does not like that she is using an old-style of wearing kind of a house dress and hi contin

here's part of today's "washington journal." .

washington apparently assumes that europe will fall in line with trump's iran policy and they have a macro and tweet to back them up. now this is the transcript from a briefing by the state department to reporters yesterday when a reporter asked how the u.s. government can be sure that europe will cooperate a state department senior official said this i mean i think we have some idea because the president and president when he was here for the state visit the president called it a four pillar new deal and the reporter says but one of the pillars that was keeping the c.p.a. away the nuclear deal which he made certain to emphasize repeatedly the state department official went on to say right but he tweeted today something that seemed to indicate to me a french willingness to work with us and the reporter replied so you guys have a positive tweet out of it that's amazing yes the trumpet ministration apparently decided that there is no need for a plan b. because of the tweet written by the french president does emanuel macro not have that kind of sway over donald trump well that is just

asymmetrical way this is something i worry about go ahead joe laurie in washington . first i agree with jonathan said i think they would prefer a regime change through a color revolution and not war but that that's on the cards if necessary as far as the europeans go we've saw or twice since the cold war since the on the second world war one since one thousand sixty seven one to go all pulled out of nato and then of course in two thousand and three as you were bringing up peter the europeans would not vote the germans and the french are on the security council of course the french are always on the security council they didn't vote for bush is a resolution to invade iraq and that became a big crisis those are the two main times when europe showed some independence against united states this is the third opportunity and unfortunately i agree with you and what alexander mccurry is wrote in the durand that i republished in that sort of news that the market the iranian market is much smaller than the u.s. market and the economics of it are going to determine that europe w

good morning and welcome to the washington institute. i am brought back off, director of the institute and i am delighted to welcome all of you this morning to our institution for this theory special event. our guest was kind enough to remember that events in the middle east took them away at the last moment a year ago when he was due to come and speak at this institution. and although there are no shortage of complicated and even tragic events going on in the middle east today, we are grateful to him and to his team and delegation for making time in this important mission to come and speak to the washington institute. i don't really have to list all of the issues that confront israeli security today i made him a look at the headlines, look at the map and see that on virtually every front surrounding israel commentaries red ink, the anchor challenge, taking the threat going from lebanon to syria, going from gaza to sinai. it is the responsibility of our guest today to address these issues, to lead in both the political and military sense

with the deal this is why there's been so much hysteria in europe and they tried not grown came to washington they all failed he pulled out why they pulled out one could only imagine it's because they are planning a regime change in iran i think we're seeing all the signs of that you know one hour after trump made that speech in which he said he was getting out of the deal the israelis massively bombed iranian targets inside syria according to time magazine one hour later that's the message that was sent so while the attacks made against iran maybe just in syria now there's no question in my mind that when the military directive that trump also gave to the defense department to prepare against any threat by iran they were going down a very very dangerous road here ok it's go to their second joe and why he didn't how do you assess what joe lauria just said right there because it all of the hallmarks of you know i feel like we're back in two thousand and three looking at the how the media is dealing with this here i mean the massacre of palestinians of the last few days and the way the media de

mr macron had a wonderful repeating in a washington a. few weeks ago where mr buck broad has probably decided to become washington's pimp in the paris however the other european union countries particularly germany is in no mood to listen to washington on the business relationship that they have developed with. iran over the years it's not in the interest of anyone to create huge distances between iran on the nuclear deal. the longest bridge in europe linking mainland russia to crimea was officially opened on tuesday it took only two years to build and will reduce the region's reliance on sea and air transport and allow more tourists to visit. well the first pedestrian to use the new link was full footage of this current which lives in the area but the line has its own social media account where this video was posted and that enjoys a strong following. the russian president was soon to follow in the cat's footsteps making the journey from the krasnodar region to use in southern russia to coach on the crimean peninsula. so you believe that

this is boom bust broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. i'm part children coming up today saudi arabia's unemployment rate has reached record levels causing increased concern arche correspondent mop and give us the latest and we talk trade and tariffs with alex behind all of it and authors heene plus r.t. correspondent dan cohen fills us in on the economic progress made by greece and their economy and a snoop dogg's said last week we'll put the crypt back in crypto with technology writer morgan tech all that debt ahead but first we hit the headlines. the merger mania continues yesterday was a particularly busy and big day for mergers as more than one hundred twenty billion dollars worth of deals were announced according to the market tracking firm deal logic we were ported on a couple of those wal-mart's bid to spin off u.k. grocery store locations and refocus on the fight with amazon for the indian market and the third try on a sprint t. mobile merger but there were many others and the numbers speak for themselves there have not been as m

welcome to the alex salmond show from the white house and washington d.c. and trump's america the radical forces m d a stylish meant one thing in common they're both fun now by the trump presidency so as i'm going to be changing there cannot be a counter revolution from the left or will the washington establishment get back in the driver's seat today i speak to a pulitzer prize winning journalist and one of washington's key commentators their very different views over the state of politics and the public. but first thank you for the tweets messages and emails let's look at a few nelson says rachel as usual enjoyed the whole kit revival idea after last week's show i was inspired to knap up to dunfermline mind the videos carnegie boating anyone going should miss the rebirth place museum free entry always a bonus i quite agree and i suddenly recommend people going to college surely says your us item on our need to meet x. and viewing he certainly left a legacy as regards the world he paid my granny season one thousand election for a degree at edinburgh univers

nuclear deal when you were in washington why did you fail . i think the most important thing is to maintain stability and peace and middle east i'm in washington and i have said this by the way i had understood that president trump wanted to. leave agreement from two thousand and fifteen and during our joint press conference i had suggested that we work on a broader framework and i am very sorry about his decision i think it is a mistake and this is why we europeans have decided like we reiterated yesterday to remain within the agreement from two thousand and fifteen as i reminded president of wanny we negotiated and signed this agreement and it allows us to control the nuclear defense activity in iran until two thousand and twenty five but this equipment needs to be completed on nuclear activities until two thousand twenty five ballistic activities in the region and regional activities of iran in iraq or yemen and syria when i was in washington i said to president trump don't tear everything up but if something were you let strengthen this fr

s washington bureau chief use of example of. an exam to tell us more about the us is twelve demands. the twelve demands outlined by my point here did not come as a surprise because although these issues are very important for the trump administration the u.s. is calling on iran to stop the end richmond of uranium that was actually allowed under strict limitations and the previous nuclear deal is calling on iran to allow nuclear unqualified access to all sides throughout the country it is calling on the iran through lease u.s. citizens held in the country my computer also said stetson iran must stop its activities in the region in yemen in afghanistan in live and on and that iran has to restore its troops from syria and that is indeed something that. the us is very concerned about and that was not addressed by the previous nuclear iran deal she when you look through this list it does seem to amount to a change of regime i don't think us really expect iran to comply or is it hoping that it doesn't. well the u.s. government says th

dick tut at this moment yes mr macron had a wonderful meeting in a washington. few weeks ago where mr mark ron has probably decided to become washington's pimp in paris however the other european union countries particularly germany is in no mood to listen to washington on the business relationship that they have developed with. iran over the years it's not in the interest of anyone to create huge distance between iran on the nuclear deal. africa has long promoted itself as being a safari holiday destination catering to high end travellers through such as this. but it appears that the reality on the ground is somewhat less rosy safari parks have been looking to expand their territory and that according to a new study at the government of the east african state of tanzania to evict it didn't indigenous communities and on a huge scale evictions began in the early two thousand but tensions rose after some twenty thousand people were reportedly left homeless last august and september alone nearly six thousand homes were said to be deliberately damaged and some of th

i'm helena humphrey in berlin good to have you with us and germany is losing patience with washington's trade brinkmanship the german economy minister saying raising tariffs is the wrong way of going about things that would hurt jobs in germany europe and the u.s. says delaying the decision as trump did just hours before the midnight deadline is also a big problem especially as businesses have no way of planning for the future. that's die of relief for the european steel industry at least for now the next four weeks the e.u. can continue to sell steel and aluminum to the u.s. with that additional tariffs. back in march donald trump signed off on plans to impose tariffs of twenty five percent on steel imports and ten percent on r.u. many m two weeks later he granted the e.u. and several countries a temporary waiver that exemption ended on may first washington accuses the e.u. of unfair trade practices trump says if no deal is reached within the next four weeks tariffs will be back on the table analysts say now is the time for the european union to take decisive action the. e.u. should do

and both sides, i was in beijing, as well as washington. both sides have used that as a rough ballpark estimate. i mean, here's the thing. >> the chinese say they haven't, though. >> well, i don't know. informally, i have heard that number from them. depends on how you count things. here's the key point, if i may. in the communique, that was a consensus of taking effective measures to substantially reduce the united states trade deficit in goods with china. that's the key point. and here's the second key point. they're offering to make structural reforms, such as lowering tariffs and nontariff barriers, which will permit us to export billions and billions more goods to china. that's the elementary point. key point. these numbers, you can't predict. they're macroeconomic things depending on conditions. we made a lot of progress here if washington, and in -- built on what happened in china a couple weeks back. the president is in a positive mood about this. i, myself, am very encouraged. because, look, at the end of the day, george, growth. t

mr macron had a wonderful reading in a washington a. few weeks ago where mr buck broad has probably decided to become washington's pimp in paris however the other european union countries particularly germany is in no mood to listen to washington on the business relationship that they have developed with. iran over the years it's not in the interest of anyone to create huge distances between iran or the nuclear deal. the longest bridge in europe linking mainland russia to crimea was officially opened on tuesday it took only teen years to build and will reduce the region's reliance on sea and air transport and allow more tourists to visit. well the first pedestrian to use the new link was for footage discount which lives in the area of feline has its own social media account where this video was posted and has enjoyed a strong following. well the russian president was soon to follow in the cat's footsteps making the journey from the krasnodar region in southern russia could all the crimean peninsula. or even was words. were that of a put

supporting policies that in fact do do that when we look at the a ran deal and we had mccrone in washington merkel is going to show up i mean they're advocating that they keep the treaty alive and you know in this this is really interest to the alliance i mean i would like to see nato completely dissolved and have a completely new security arrangement in europe i think that's what donald trump actually was thinking about during the campaign so i mean what the outside world must be look at i know they are looking at him in bewilderment because where is he going to go next i mean the the attack on syria recently that was against international law the whole world looks at it that way not the foreign policy blob in washington they probably never heard of international law go ahead michael. i think that the u.s. presidency for some time maybe thirty forty years has been captured by. the sort of set relationships that it has to have and in many ways the dependent countries of nato even the great powers like france germany and britain are essentially pulling the strings and i think part of trump's

susan: why did he come to washington? kamal maclarin: he came because he established, and his final newspaper, he wanted to use his voice and pen to advocate for african americans a transition from slavery to freedom. he also wanted the year of all ar of allicians -- e the politicians in and around washington. because in 1872, the home that he purchased was not too far from the actual nation capital. susan: this was the period of reconstruction in the south. how was he able to influence policy at all? kamal maclarin: i would say that he did, because we saw that the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments were passed. but what we find is that as the reconstruction era was winding down, we see douglass becomes jaded by the whole reconstruction experiment in many ways, because there were all the things, all the advancements that were made during that critical period were pretty much being undercut or rolled back. susan: is it true that when he arrived, president rutherford hayes helped his finances by giving him an appointment, a fe

the gentleman from washington is recognized. mr. newhouse: thank you, mr. speaker. let me quote the ranking member of the energy and commerce committee, mr. frank pallone, from new jersey, who said that overall this legislation is a balanced step in the right direction that will benefit rate payers, taxpayers, and those living near nuclear facilities housing nuclear waste. so i'm happy to have his support for this legislation as well. just a couple of points if the good lady if nevada, who i deeply respect and take her perspective on this with a great deal of gravity. you know, the transportation this year has been brought -- transportation issue has been brought up several times. nuclear waste is transported in this country already. i just got to tell you, the vessels, the containers that i have witnessed that this waste is being temporarily stored in and used for transportation literally is missile proof. it is in containers that is very solidly contained and in such a way that the safety factor is many times overall to ensure tha

[cheers and applause] washington post publisher fred ryan returned to his alma mater to address law school graduates, where he talked about tech innovation, attacks on journalism, and internet privacy. mr. ryan is the former president and ceo of politico and served as chief of staff to ronald reagan after his presidency.

[laughter

so again, "the washington post" has just broken this story. mueller and his team apparently threatening that they believe they have the option of subpoenaing president trump to testify in the russia scandal even if he does not want to. again, "want post" helpfully noting that whatever trump's advisers and legal team think might be legal precedent, this is very much an untested matter in the courts. i should also add, since "the washington post" published this tonight, nbc news has reached out to john dowden, t, the president's former lawyer, who according to two people said to the special counsel in the march meeting, what is the quote again, this isn't some game, you are screwing with the work of the president of the united states. tonight nbc news has reached john dowd to comment on this new report in "the washington post." in a brief e-mail with nbc news regarding this new "post" story, mr. dowd referred questions about it to the president's current legal team. but then he said, quote, i think it is right, meaning he believes the substance

yes mr macron had a wonderful thing in a washington a. few weeks ago where a list of our crowd has probably decided to become washington's pimp in paris however the other european union countries particularly germany is in no mood to listen to washington on the business relationship that they have developed with. iran over the years it's not in the interest of anyone to create huge distances between iran or the nuclear deal. the longest bridge in europe linking mainland russia to crimea was officially opened on tuesday it took only two years to build and will reduce the region's reliance on sea and air transport and allow more tourists to visit. the first pedestrian to use the view link was four forty eight this cat which lives in the area of feline has its own social media account where this video was posted on how enjoys a strong following. well russian president was soon to follow in the cat's footsteps making the journey from the krasnodar region in southern russia to kurdish on the crimean peninsula. so you believe that you would. li

washington by. and now it becomes like this great power that has lost its focus and also probably has put so much on his plate that he can handle now we have the future is next month with iran and the nuclear deal we have the upcoming summit with the north korean leader there so so much to deal with and i think now. probably a lot of the expectations of the public in this region of the world by embrace in so many adventurous and then he can not deliver much what are you remain concerned about is if trump and the kremlin loses their grip on both the iranians on the one hand and the israelis on the that's when it's going to be a messy joke and i don't think that trump will be able to figure out what to do next you know danny that brought up a really good point because there's so many festering issues particularly in the middle east but and on a broader broader scale with north korea the u.s. doesn't have a grasp on the situation i mean one of the things i have noticed with this administration is that

corresponding to play richardson is in washington reagan is in brussels and the a.f.p. correspondent eric randall joins us from a tehran so welcome to you all let's start with you in tehran eric randolph this is been in the air for the last one hundred twenty days how has iran been reacting well i'd say the mood in tehran is pretty grim really depressed one person said to me today nothing iranians are just tired of all of this thought they heard a lot of the animosity with the americans but i'm there when this deal was done in three years ago and they had so many hopes book trade to pick. iran to lose its pariah status in the world. just building straight back at square one they don't really understand why even people who don't support the regime here particularly wonder why they'd be doubly punished bust by their own government and then again by the americans so. it's a fairly. clear richardson in washington explain to us if you can the president's strategy beyond let's just dump it. hi fellow essentially trampolines that this was a bad deal that was poorly negotiated

washington bureau chief. welcome alexander to tell us more about about the us is twelve demands well there is a long list of demands as you said twelve among them requiring man steps could have been expect for example calling on the run to stop the end richmond of the randian something that was now it's on to the previous iran deal under strict limitations the u.s. is also calling upon iran through these all the citizens held in iran it's calling for on the iran to allow nuclear on qualified access to all science throughout the country and it's also demanding that iran would stroll all its troops from syria and stop its activities in the region in yemen or enough ghana's down and that is indeed something that was not addressed by the deal and it is something that you ask is very concerned about what response is this likely to bring from iran. well the u.s. government is convinced that that's the right strategy because they're pointing to their maximum pressure campaign against north korea saying look this can

anthony zurcher has more from washington.this, she is a white house aide, came over to the trump white house from a local washington conservative newspaper. she was responding to the criticism ofjohn mccain blocking jeanna haskel, the cia nominee, said, it does not matter, he's going to die anyway. this was a closed—door meeting but i think it is reflective of the atmosphere in this white house that word of her remarks leaked to multiple media outlets and were confirmed by multiple media outlets. when cindy mccain, sorry, meghan mccain talks about the environment here in this white house, you have to remember that donald trump himself in the campaign in 2015, early in his campaign, criticised john mccain in very personal terms and said he was not a war hero, he was only a war hero because he became a prisoner of war in vietnam and he prefers his heroes or likes his heroes not to be captured. the idea this was an attitude that comes down from the top, from the president. he and john mccain have sparred repeatedly in the past f
