with a high security clearance and they propagated this myth that there was a pizza parlor in washington dc that had a child ex-slave ring operated from the basement that hillary clinton herself was operating. we have a saying in intelligence, common sense is the least used intelligence analysis tool and i make sure that i apply common sense to everything i do so when someone tells me there's a trial x-ray operated from upper connecticut in the middle of washington dc and kidnapped children on their pizza parties andtake them to the basement and sell them as sex slaves, obviously not true . however, there were americans in this country who propagated that story as truth. that information went global and it caused an individual to jump into his car with semi automatic rifle, drive six hours to washington dc and instigate a hostage barricade in the building because he believed he was going to rescue children. now, that story was originated by americans who thought this would be cute or clever and understood the power of the lie moving at the speed of that keyboard but that story also went glo

>> you know, a lot came to washington dc itself.d so, i mean, i think that what you had was this extraordinary turmoil within the capital, and of course, president nixon was elected in 1968. it was just a terribly tumultuous time. >> similarly, in the case of washington, dc, violence on the streets, there were protests against the vietnam war, but also, protest, you know, that were sparked here in the aftermath of martin luther king's assassination. there was, you know, for people who lived during those events, they often remember it as one of the callers mentioned, this rapid chain of events, and you have seen that one thing would ease and then suddenly, a new crisis would develop. >> the great difference is that we are sitting here talking about it. i happens to be in china two weeks ago, and there, the great leap forward famine is described as a time with china which is trying to repay russia back for its help to china and so that is where all the food went. or i was talking with someone else who said you know, we never saw that

secret fbi security clearance, and they propagated this myth that there was a pizza parlor in washington, dc that had a child sex slave ring operated from the base. that hillary clinton herself was operating. we have a saying in intelligence, and common sense is the least used intelligence analysis tool. and i make sure that i apply common sense to everything i do. so when someone tells me there's child sex ring being operate from upper connecticut after knew in the middle of washington, dc ask they kidnap children from their pizza parties and take them to buysment and sell them as sex slaves. probably not true. however there were americans who spread the story as truth. that information went global and caused an individual to jump into this car with an automatic -- semi-automatic rifle, drive six hours to washington, dc, and execute a hostage barricade in that building, because he believed he was going rescue children. now, that story was originated by americans who thought this would be cute or clever, and understood the power of the lie moving at the speed of that keyboard, but that story

if you go to think tanks in washington dc because it's easier to get hired there than the academy itself as a whole is left with a shortage. do you self identify as a conservative. i problem primarily teach constitutional law. he was at ucla. his academia breeding ground for students to become either liberal or conservative. this is one area where we criticize where they are you the universities are just in dr. or nation factories. and that they are exposed. to that progressive academics. they volunteer for bernie sanders. the evidence that we have says at the classes where you can look at them and say we think the professor has applicable agenda. they are trying to knock great students. they aren't terribly effective and in fact indicates that sometimes what happens in those classes is at the very attitudes that they're trying to purge from their charges are increased. they are perhaps a waste of time. and maybe student students should be taking other courses. and really what shapes the students more than their professors. i'm always interested to get their protective on things. it's th

dc,ave david in washington and david, i start with you. without evidence, president trump is making these claims. is there really an antitrust issue here? >> when it comes to this issue of whether or not google and the other sites are suppressing conservative viewpoints, that very likely is not an antitrust issue because of the first amendment. the president is certainly not the only person in washington to be raising the issues. it is an interesting moment in washington at the moment where you have a lot of liberals and conservatives who are saying that many of the companies, particularly google, facebook, amazon, are too big, too dominant and deserve some antitrust scrutiny that they have not gotten for many years. emily: it's a very curious strategy given that even the president own campaign manager technology is facebook helped him win. brad toldten to what me a couple of months ago. >> i've been very specific that facebook heavily one -- helped us win in many ways. if facebook would not have existed, it would have been tougher. if you

and instead the president says he will attend a parade at a military base located near washington dc one in france in november. he first spoke of his interest in having a military parade while visiting paris for bastille day last year. some lawmakers on capitol hill expressed opposition to the parade as well as some veterans groups. the american legion says now is not the time. lfr but g at e d of concern is the timing and cost and if you have that you should put the money toward the va's. >> we should focus on the president's record and the military and the veterans. he's the most promilitary and pro-veteran president in modern time. >> reporter: he says the military parade could take lace next year. cbs news, the white house. >> the mayor of washington while denying the city wanted to much money says dc has a long history of posting major gatherings. >>> a congressman who has been a frequent critic of the president says he is weighing a run for the white house. he said he's thinking the democrat has been in congress since 2012. he says he will jump into the 2020 race only if he thi

a cardinal in washington, dc and the american catholic church's most prominent leader, and a grand juryeport reporting decades of abuse in the state of pennsylvania. i think american catholics and really americans who are not catholics, will be very distressed by this report by the vatican that several popes have been aware that some of these cases have been going around and not at that on it is a real blow to the authority of the church. the pope is refusing to say anything about this and is quoted as saying, basically, i am about this and is quoted as saying, basically, iam paraphrasing, saying he expects us as journalists to make oui’ he expects us as journalists to make our right conclusions.” he expects us as journalists to make our right conclusions. i think that is not what american catholics are going to be wanting to hear from here because one of the criticism that has surfaced quickly in the wa ke that has surfaced quickly in the wake of these recent scandals, is the tendency for the church hierarchy to retreat behind pr. circling the wagons and avoid publicly discussing these

. >> in washington dc and the surrounding area, clearances are a currency.e talked about this in the past. maintaining your security clearance for senior individuals leaving the government in a variety of agencies has always been a bit of a currency. people at my level on the street when you finish your job and leave the cia use her in that back. i didn't have an expectation of keeping my security clearance, i didn't want the responsibility and i was going to the commercial world. the way it should work there are millions of people walking around the security clearances, 4 million. of those over 1.2, 1.3 million have top-secret clearances. i would like to see this bizarre discussion between john brennan and donald trump out in the public, this feud going on that is very surreal, to be used to do something for the greater good. do we need 1.3 million people with security clearances walking around? i don't think so. what we should be doing is saying when you have no more need to know, when you don't have a position that requires maintaining and handling inform
