think about your taxpayer dollars but you pay every year, the money that goes to washington, d.c.. i had a great idea, we will build and then that is the ethical rule they came up within the guidelines for the other members to abide by. in chicago you recall they were no longer going to be allowed to get the tickets so they found that these ways of what if it is fair market value in these ways to make it legal you cannot accept a gift worth x. amount of dollars or more. >> with every rule and regulation there is a room full of attorneys and they are figuring out how to bend the rule and get around it. my biggest thing and i say this to my hard-core liberal and conservative friends, if you want to stop this or stop pitting people against each other, stop the government from picking and choosing sides. i know that in practice it is a lot harder to do but whether you support massive subsidies for green energy which all of us believe in a healthy environment, i understand ideas for research and development but if you don't like that or you don't like a bunch of brakes going to big oil,

reporting that special counsel robert mueller has in the past few weeks convened a grand jury in washington, d.c. to investigating russian interference in the 2016 election and whether there was coordination between the trump campaign and russia. the journal's reporting has been followed up by "the washington post." tonight's news does not mean that indictments are eminent or that they would necessarily happen. but it does mark the next formal step in special counsel mueller's investigation. a grand jury can also subpoena documents and force witnesses to testify. in the and federal prosecutor needs a grand jury to sign off on any indictment if criminal charges are going to be brought. in that sense today's news is the latest step in a long process that started over a year ago when the fbi launched an investigation into the trump campaign's contacts with russia. while it was widely suspected that the fbi was investigating those ties, the existence of the investigation only became official in march when fbi director james comey sent shock waves across the country by confirming during a live hearin

there is a lavish lifestyle in washington d.c. i do think it's a little stupid for the republicans who are like barack obama wants to take your gun, but he's got people with guns who protect him. he's the president of the united states. shut up. i understand armor plated suvs and how leadership gets these things that can be chauffeuredho all around. >> there are leadership people who i just would not have expected. >> luck, as we get even darker parts of not just washington, there are death threats and i've had them, but to go to the lavish lifestyle, while actually, part of the subtitle is finger food. one of the things that so utterly ridiculous about the way washington d.c.'s operate is this. you have these fancy soirÉe dinners all the time. indust industries put money towardd them, the parties put money toward them, but one of the craziest stories that i go through in the book is being invited to one of my first big parties. i-5 from florida up to d.c. quick side note. in the united states, districts are drawn overwhelmingly t

[ laughter ] >> so, is he still in atlanta? will he remain in atlanta, then? >> we will. we will keep our home in roswell, georgia, where we live, right in the heart of the sixth district, and i'll commute back and forth. i think one of the ways to be able to keep my feet on the ground is to make sure that i go home and i'm doing my grocery

the senate majority leader paul ryan, a lot of on our at washington d.c.ve career they have to have good relationships with powerful people said they would value those relationships potentially over the quality of the representation of the people that employ them. in other words, it would be easier for a lobbyist to find another client, another interest group to represent then it would be for the lobbyist to try to re- bill of the speaker of the house of something has gone wrong with that relationship. now, elected officials and senior officials in the bureaucracy just in the lawmaking system tend to need to put together large coalition. we have a majority rule system for making laws in the united states. to have to bring a bunch of people together about different ideas about what it should be. the mature to bring new legislation through congress. the fact is that you need majorities. even to get it properly in the senate you have to have consensus. that means legislators are often in positions where they have to be supportive of bills that don't necessari

micromanagement from washington, d.c. does not win battles.y are won in the field, drawing upon the judgment and expertise of wartime commanders and frontline soldiers acting in real time with real authority and with a clear mission to defeat the enemy. that is why we will also expand authority for american armed forces to target the terrorist and criminal networks that sow violence and chaos throughout afghanistan. these killers need to know they have nowhere to hide, that no place is beyond the reach of american might and american arms. retribution will be fast and powerful. as we lift restrictions and expand authorities in the field, we are already seeing dramatic results in the campaign to defeat isis, including the liberation of mosul in iraq. since my inauguration, we have achieved record-breaking success in that regard. we will also maximize sanctions and other financial and law enforcement actions against these networks to eliminate their ability to export terror. when america commits its warriors to battle, we must ensure they have ev

in the fall of 1926, september of 1926 the ku klux klan held their national conclave in washington, d.c., second time they rallied thousands strong in d.c. in two straight years. when they turned up in 1926 they turned out 50,000 masked robed klansmen who marched in formation in washington, d.c. most of these pictures are from the library of congress. no matter how many times i've seen these pictures, no matter how many time i've gone through the pictures, i have a hard time believing that that show of klan force in washington, d.c., i still have a hard time believing it's real. but that was real. 1926. 50,000 klansmen marching in washington, d.c. the following year in 1927 there was a klan rally and march in new york city. it started off with a group of fascists, black shirts who clashed with new york city police and then that melee was joined by about, according to contemporaneous news coverage, by about a thousand klansmen who turned out in new york, in queens, to march against the police. the "the new york times" published at the time some of the texts of the handbills that the flye

i've heard architectural historian describe the iconic governmental buildings in washington, d.c. as the sequel to the building here. and we start off in jamestown, which is the oldest english speaking settlement in north america. and that was used throughout the 16 hundreds and there were multiple buildings public and private used for meeting. and then in williamsburg we built a capitol that burned down in the middle of the 17 hundreds and we rebuilt a second one and it was the second capital that we left behind when we moved here to richmond during the revolutionary war. and interestingly, mr. jefferson who had introduced the bill to relocate to richmond, by the time we made the move, a year later, he was serving as governor and he got to oversee the process. if you think of the capitol as an essay in architecture, the primary author was thomas jefferson. and at the time we were getting ready to break ground for a new public building in richmond in 1785, jefferson had left state service and was american ambassador to france. he was living in paris. and nonetheless, richmond auth
