how is washington different? >> first of all, it's always very dangerous to ask hypotheticals about factual things you have not examined. i have not done this with all the presidents. i won't attempt to answer that question. i will say this. those that i have looked at there are varying levels of christian witness that do show up. some are very unwilling to put a lot of christian language in what they write. others are more. some clearly do it for political expediency. we need to recognize their private correspondence is the most important. it's not for show. it's what they communicate. if i were to do the kind of task you gave me, of course i would want to see their public statements. but in a generally christian america, to the extent that that was favored, they would speak in that language. but maybe their personal life would have little interest in spiritual things. so i think i could give you a method how i would pursue it. i cannot predict it. there are some who have had deep christian witness that's part o

washington, he slowly grows on washington because he is so gung ho. washington, the whole war, all of his men are deserting in droves, and here is this kid, this french kid who is like put me in, coach. [laughter] sarah: and when washington you know says okay, you can join my military family, which was lingo of the day to basically -- washington is saying you can become one of my minions like the way alexander hamilton was described as a member of washington's military family, but remember lafayette is a -- he was an orphan, and when washington said family he meant chummy minyan, but what lafayette heard was son. then you know hijinks ensue. [laughter] sarah: so, i guess i will take some questions if you have them. there are these microphones set up here. yeah, let's get cracking. [laughter] >> hi, i was wondering when i read the book if you have seen the show hamilton and what you thought of the portrayal of lafayette? sarah: if you didn't hear that, the question was about hamilton. [laughter] [applause] have i seen hamilton and what do i think of th

george washington was a patron. george washington had doorsteps made it there, favors made and all sorts of things. these are pretty random. this is the original contract. the commissioners are so glad to get a stonemason. here is a quiet query -- quiet creek where it was dug out. backt of mountain of stone where you see. they have started taking the stone out of it and they would creek and putthe and pull it up the river. when it got to washington, there was a special stone landing on the creek. the stones were lifted up and they put them to the building side. please remember the stones were extremely heavy and they had none of the conveniences we do. quarry again. the we have a tree root running through. the first issue was splitting the stones. here's the only house i know of that was ever built out of it. that is replaced today by limestone. oh my heavens it was so deteriorated in 1976 that they replaced it with limestone in the registry -- in the restoration. general braddock came here. carlislee home of john ,

he came to chicago because of harold washington. he use those lessons in running for president of the united states. in terms of local legacy in the upcoming election, i'm not sure any candidates that have declared for mayor are of the same caliber of harold washington. one thing people did not understand was they thought harold got elected because of his rhetoric. did not understand the roots and foundation that harold had laid that helped form the coalition. a lot of people have not done the groundwork to get the community and base that's needed to be successful. i'm not sure there's that legacy in the current crop of candidates. >> you are right about barack. i had lunch with him when he was a state senator. he said that he would like to be mayor of chicago one day. >> when you're predicting things, that's our mayor. and he just blew me away. >> i would say that if you look at the books that come before mine, most, not all but most say harold washington was a tremendous public speaker and charismatic politician. but not much of a

george washington was a patron. he had door steps made their, pavers -- made there, pavers, all sorts of things. i will figure this out. there. these are pretty random. you should read it fast. [laughter] >> this is colin williamson's original contract. they were so excited to get a stonemason, they turned it all over to him. here is a quiet creek where it was dugout, and in the quarry was a sort of mountain of stone back you see, it is cut into. that's where they started taking the stone out of, and they would ship it down the creek to the river and put it on barges and pole it, stick close to the shore, and pole it 35 miles to washington. when they got to washington, here was a special stone landing on the creek. they took a subsidiary creek and made locks, and the stones were lifted and oxen took them to the building site. please remember how heavy the stones were, extremely heavy. they had none of the conveniences we do. here we are in the quarry again. here are some apparently inferior stones, this is a wonderf

the washington capitals are the stanley cup champions, this i the first time in washington for any sport. look at the fun they're having. >> a local angle for this, they're celebrating brooks orpik, a san francisco native, there he is, number 44 and he has the great honor of hoisting the stanley cup. thanks to brooks orpik and the washington capitals. >>> on to other headlines at this hour. three people were shot and a man arrested outside a hospital with a car full of guns. that's what police are dealing with tonight in san francisco. >> nbc bay area, this developing story, what do we know right now, sergio. >> reporter: we know one of those men who was shot has died. the other two men are at the hospital being treated, one in critical condition and the other in serious condition. right now, police say they're still looking for a suspect or suspects in this shooting. this all started this afternoon around 3:30. residents say sever fired on treat way near cesar chavez in the mission district. police arrived to see a man who had been hit. >> theydou rendered aid and got ambulance and tran

harold washington i was getting to know in the archives was not necessarily the harold washington i was reading about in some of the other books and articles. so that's when i decided to do the book. i spent an awful lot of time up on the ninth floor of the harold washington library poring through those boxes of letters and memos and so forth. and then i was fortunate enough to talk to a number of people like jackie grimshaw, for example, and some others who had been in the washington administration in one capacity or another, who knew him personally. and that's how i pieced it together. >> and so, jackie, when did you -- you were with him for so long. how did you first encounter harold washington, and then how did it evolve from there for you? >> well, i grew up in the third ward of the city of chicago, and the third ward was ralph metcalf. >> ah. >> ralph metcalf had an organization, and harold was part of that organization along with some other folks like our former cook county board chairman, etc. so ralph metcalf was catholic, and he went to corpus christi church which was the

welcome back to world news headlines now donald trump out cold on staff at the washington post to go on strike against the newspaper's billionaire owner american reports from the u.s. capitol. well this is yet another dispute between the washington post and its employees but to remind the viewers the washington post is owned by jeff bezos the founder of amazon and the richest man alive according to forbes he purchased the paperback in twenty thirteen for two hundred fifty million dollars and the story trumps of her into sort of with the washington post union publicly calling on bases to provide better working conditions and better pay for their workers i'm fighting for a decent raise because i believe they're one which contributed to the post success deserted i'm fighting for better retirement benefits i'm frightened retain some amount of job security but this isn't the first time bezos has been publicly called out for not providing suitable working conditions when he visited germany back in april to actually receive an award for business innovation and social responsibility ironical

and on thursday we'll be in washington, d.c. on politics & prose bookstore for abc news dan abrams' talk on abraham lincoln's last legal case, a murder defense in 1859. that's a look at some of the events booktv will be covering this week. many of these events are open to the public. look for them to air in the near future on booktv on c-span2. >> you can differ with people politically are, we all do that. democrats -- i'll accept the view we're sort of a little left of center party at least, they're right of certain moving right rapidly. maybe we're moving left. but politics was supposed to be about finding a way to overcome some of those differences through principled -- through extended discussion and a real legislatives process, through principled compromise. it wasn't supposed to be about one party winning on their own. the times, as you know, the times in history when one party has been able to do this on your own were very few. maybe 1933 and '36, fdr dealing with the depression. lbj, '64, '65. but even lbj reach tout rep

joe is a washington, retired u. veteran himself and has been invigorated by giving back to our most recent veterans and he stresses the significance of visiting our nation's capital and seeing the very documents that every serviceperson swears to defend. the u.s. constitution and the declaration of independence. each year, the warriors to washington trip grows and evolves, continuously adapting to support the community and always striving to benefit as many veterans as possible. i am overjoyed to see members of my constituency stepping up to empower our veterans, and i'm pleased to recognize the warriors to washington organization, which i am proud to say was founded in my district. i ask my fellow colleagues in the house of representatives to join me in saluting the unwavering dedication of warriors to washington and all those who are involved in their admirable efforts to serve our veterans. thank you and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the chair recognizes the gentleman from cali

on washington, as well. usually not in a positive way. there was talk about the negative tone about solidarity day, and angrier tone. not 1963 and i8, think that is to be expected. the media talked about ralph 's lumbering and terrible speech. it was not the "i have a dream" speech, it was smaller but there were those that were relatively unfair. to me, the solidarity day is important, but not one of the most important legacies or moments of the campaign. it was really about the interactions people have with each other often times in monday undane moment monday illustrative.re you had to have a park permit and the department of interior to have this encampment on the washington mall, and five days later, the government chose not to renew it. the police came in and a vacuum at it those in resurrection city and flattened the place. this is important, because it affects what historical documents are left about the poor people's campaign. destroyedents were from the campaign on work because they were here. it to

yet is there a coherent policy line on russia in washington. there are seven or eight coherent lines but all together they produce in coherence by that i mean the congress thinks it knows what it's doing. there are some individuals let's say the department of defense who have one orientation in the state department which is a revolving door who have another and so on no a coherent administration line has not emerged because they're fighting internally because trump started off as a prick matic complainer a he wanted to make good with russia but then they stopped wishbone tat his hands does this mean that the american line towards russia is pretty termite no matter who the president will be no no this is a this is unique with trump no tied his hands in particular because the pass this legislation requiring sanctions right and that is certainly tied to trump personally because of the suspicion that he colluded with russia or that members of his campaign team. up to no good with russian representatives and the two who knows him there's this anger

with washington and adams, it was pretty courtly. when you would meet them, they would be standing on a dais and they would bow and you would move on. we have heard about jefferson and helter-skelter. she had an elegant style. she invited everybody. she dispenseled with many of the formal social protocols, but she avoided giving anybody offense because she treated everyone the same. it was unusual at that time period for the woman to sit at the head of the table, but this suited the madisons the best because dolley could pull off any event kind of seamlessly and madison could sit in the center of the table and she was able to direct the conversation around him. at one point vice president gary eldridge tried to sit at the head of the table. like i'll take care of that for you, dolley, and she very firmly put him in his place. afterwards he wrote his daughter saying it would have been impossible for me to have equaled her in this instance. she did everything with elegant ease. i imagine that was an awkward moment. dolley also knew wha

they did not visit washington's grave. rather, they went to arlington cemetery, where the king laid a wreath on the tomb of the unknown soldier. the royal couple traveled by train to new york, where they briefly visited the world's fair, the suppose it reason for their visit, and then were driven to hyde park. they had an informal dinner at the roosevelt house, after which the king and the president stayed up late discussing the crisis in europe. the president thought war was inevitable. the king thought it might be averted. sadly the president was the better forecaster. later, on the third of september, 1939, the united kingdom and empire were at war with germany and soon with italy and japan. the following day, the two couples, the president's mother, and guests enjoyed a hot dog picnic. which occasioned the 1939 equivalent of a media frenzy.

the chair: the gentleman from washington, mr. kilmer, and a member opposed shall each control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from washington. mr. kilmer: i rise today in support of my amendment to h.r. 2083. this simple amendment would narrow the scope of this bill to clarify our intent that the leeth -- lethal take authority. this small important disstimping shon will ensure it targets those animals that pose an imminent threat to our native salmon and steelhead stocks and align our bill with the senate version that was recently introduced. hopefully ensuring this bill gets to the finish line. that is absolutely critical. some of our most vulnerable stocks due to nonnative sea lion predation. i reserve. the chair: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. does the gentleman from colorado seek recognition? mr. lamborn: we have no objection to this amendment. the chair: so the gentleman -- does any member claim the time in opposition? seeing none, the gentleman from washington -- mr. kilmer: i have no furth

but if one looks behind washington, what was washington trying to achieve? the states had succeeded in their revolution. they were still disassociated. they were all internally like sovereign. he had to bring them together into a nation. he had to forge a group of independent states into a nation. he would do this in a number of ways and he did it cleverly. one of the things he would use is he would use the architecture of his time. he would use the idea of ordered places. he would use classical ide he would create a capital which in fact was not the capital of any existing state, but was a new federal capital. that federal capital would be the foundation of the new nation. it would distinguish the states from the nations. this was a very important part of his idea. what architecture was going to be was a language, a syntax, a vocabulary, a methodology by which symbolism and utility could be united. tot i want to do is to come the white hoe se. before turning to how it came about, what i would like to do is briefly look at it by way of analysis. you press so

a full third of washington state's daca population lives in my district of central washington. i can tell you i've met with literally hundreds of them, including just this week, monday afternoon, i met with about a half buzzen of these young people. they're smart. hardworking. respectful. caring members of our community. people that you would be proud to call your own constituents. i am proud that this legislation provides them with the certainty that they need so that they can continue moving forward with their educational, professional endeavors and continue to be productive, upstanding members of society. you know what they told me they wanted? and that they need? they would like hope. we can give toyota them with this bill. mr. speaker, this bill also importantly addresses the terrible situation we've all been witnessing regarding family situation -- family separation at the border. children should not be taken away from their patients. we can enforce our laws and enforce our border while also keeping families together. the situation has shown one more broken piece of an im

well there was a big party on the streets of washington d.c. off to that game thousands of fans gathered outside the capsule's home arena to celebrate the historic victory our correspondent our correspondent diane a separate cause there with them. was the crowd outside of how. they have almost like they're ok they've been shouting was the cause and apparently the washington capitals them the way in las vegas they have sure. first and sixteen years that. the first states have won the national title and it was a very close game there for a while but ransome gone wild for somebody who was born you put up the third a one that's tonight pretty common at the way the way in the series yes. i was very nervous being a cat forty three yes you're always nervous. ok. right here on the streets of washington tonight the capitol speech right turning their cell was likely the city will throw a massive celebration when their capitals return to washington. it's men semifinals day at the french open action will get underway in paris in just a few minutes time fir

, but with washington journalist you didn't. you could talk to them, agree, disagree. that is changed and conservatives feel very cornered by this. i'm not saying that others don't feel the same way. mehe reason they don't trust e media is years ago and it was wrong. everybody knows that reporters get things wrong and they decide when the report something they don't like that it was probably wrong. >> this really links up to some of the previous conversations about challenges to the media in the age of tron. to me, another one of the central challenge is when he is calling you the enemy of the people, when he is at rallies describing reporters ask him, and a thing for the most part, certainly when i was a news reporter, strove to be fair and objective. how were they to respond? and simultaneously, how do you cover fairly apolitical candidate mla president who says things that are demonstrably untrue. i know there's a lot of frustration on the left with failing to call out lies. i am not actually a big believer in using the word

[speaking russian] >> from the washington post. trump ago one president met with president putin in germany, president putin denied russia interfered in the u.s. election. later, you wrote an article calling election interference a true act of war. you said this episode in germany lying instance of putin to trump and that it showed the perils of negotiating with russia. your counterpart told us election interference did, and that the russian side denied ever having interfered in u.s. domestic politics. . i am wondering how you reacted to that, whether you would say as you did this was an instance of lying and whether this shows the perils of negotiating with russia. [speaking russian] >> i appreciate this research into my prior writing. as i have said many times in washington and i am happy to say for the first time in moscow, i don't address what i have said in the past. it is all out there. right now i am an advisor to president trump. it is his agenda we are pursuing. that is the agenda i intend to advance. we did talk about rus

you your sense of the domestic mode in this country, outside of washington. it is pretty obvious there is a disconnect between those of us in washington and those around .he country they have not always a disciplined leadership. what is your sense of the mood in both our countries, and how do you come to grips with the question you ended on, which is how do you sell the trip -- sell the significance of the transatlantic relationship to the republican both of our countries? the wider question of shared values and interests that bonds the relationship? i'm a big araud: believer in the sense of our citizens. based on the belief of the citizens, i of our am sibley raising the question -- i am simply raising the , alliance is based on public opinion to fight if necessary. d.c. ise washington, not asking itself the question, are our citizens ready to fight? if you ask this question, i think you know the answer is not obvious. war, europe was fighting ussr. happen?y, what would i think president obama and president trump -- i remind you that the two presidents are v

tariffs on steel and aluminum that washington imposed last month donald trump claims they're needed to address this country's trade deficit with many of its partners. chief political correspondent joins me now for analysis of this reaction to the weekend's g. seven summit so let's start with the interview with chancellor merkel she gave short notice and she gave a short while ago let's see how she describes how she views the growing discord within washington. issue is not great not just what i have talked about. a lot for me you can call it depressing but personally i don't believe that a continuation of this heated language will help the issue. so she says that he did language isn't the answer and that is what is. well i guess creating some facts she certainly made it quite clear that she would stand side by side with the canadians who will be imposing those tariffs and this is really why trump in the end decided not to sign off or not to agree to this joint communique is because justin trudeau said that the candor would impose tariffs just in response to those u.s. tariffs now the e.

washington journal continues. host: for these 25 minutes or so on the saturday, we wanted to get your reaction to the cdc report about suicide in this country. here is one of the writeups that they put out this week. suicide rates are up more than 30% in half of the u.s. states according to the cdc. this is from 1999 to 2016 with increases of more than 30% in half of the state, the cdc puts out a vital signs reports, which you can see on their website, saying half of people who commit suicide do not have a diagnosed medical -- mental health condition. health professionals do not offer a reason for the increase, but say suicides really result from a single factor. they indicate suicide often follow relationship or financial problems, substance abuse, health crisis and go on to give more statistics about this report. they say suicide is the 10th leading causes of death, and one of three leading causes that are on the rise. that was reported in the washington post and in many other places, and of course, the topic of

are in washington state. these womemen were flown up frfm the border. their children still presumably in texas? >> all over the place. some of the women were given slips of paper that had their name, their immigration number, and then the names of the children -- their children, supposedly. one woman pointed to the slip of paper and said to me, these are not my children. so there is a real question also about whether these agencies -- because there's the u.s. marshals, cucustoms and border protection, immigration customs enforcement, dhs, office of refugee resettlement. nobody knows and we're not been able to get the answers to whether or not these agencies are coordinated and whether or not they actctually know where these children are. not a single one of these women -- i take it back, two women had none with her children were but had not spoken to them. the rest of them had no idea where they were. amy: kirstjen nielsen insisted -- parents enjoyment, the kids are skiving their parents, talking to them on t
