washington d.c. turns to kinds of red white and blue when the president of france comes to town donald trump is hosting his first state visit pulling out all the stops for his french counterpart. their relationship has been called everything from a bromance to a marriage of convenience but no matter which way you look at it french president emanuel micron and u.s. president donald trump seem like an unlikely pair one is a young globalist the other a seventy one year old with nationalist instincts so how did the to form such a close personal relationship. some experts say it comes down to their common backgrounds in business and as outsiders so it's paradoxical that they get along so well given how different they are on the surface but at the same time they. self-made political men you know that come from outside the establishment that were elected when nobody expected that and you know they really shared this experience but how did the french feel about having a president who has been called the trum

french president and men who came to washington d.c. on a charm offensive trying to woo donald trump into seeing eye to eye with france on a number of issues like trade climate change and involvement in syria but his most important mission of all have been to convince trump and not to back out of the iran nuclear deal russia china britain and germany agree with france that the landmark agreement is the best way to stop iran from developing a nuclear bomb but trump is calls it the worst deal ever made on his trip to d.c. mccrone called on the u.s. president not to ditch the deal without getting a better alternative in place first yet at the end of his three day trip he hadn't secured any promises from trump and it's not yet clear how much success he's had in buttering him up ahead of anglo-american his visit the german chancellor is coming to washington d.c. on friday when she'll be trying her hand at saving the iran deal claridge is there now for some of the other stories making the news today kim jong un's expected become the first nor

one of the things we found in the d.c. voucher program is that you are less likely to find reading and math gaines that and the number of kids to graduate and go to college. how do we decide which is most important? one of the heartening things is if you look over the last half a dozen years you see an explosion and rigorous high-quality research, which is starting with the forms debate that was not there but we have these conversations 10 or 15 years ago. host: william in asheville, north carolina, and administrator. you are a first for our guests. caller: good morning. i'm retired. the school choice. however both of my sisters went to the allen school for girls. one graduated in 1970. one graduated in 1974. my daughter went to a private school. she graduated in 1986. s went torothers' boy private school. one graduated in 1987. the other graduated an in 1989. we did not have vouchers so why are you giving my tax money and giving it to parents who do not want to actually put their children in private school, or will not wo

as washington, d.c. grew as the capital of the united states, so did the willard hotel. everything happened within 10 blocks of the white house. in fact, if you walked out the front door, exactly one mile from here is the capital. just on the other side is the treasury building and the white house. so you can understand how people , the social,omes economic, and political center of washington became this corner, 14th and pennsylvania avenue. benjamin taylor, the son of john taylor, realized that to keep pace with what was going on in other cities in the u.s. and to bring the accommodations and the luxuries and modernization that was going on in the hotel business to washington, he needed to bring somebody into washington to run the hotel. marie: between the years of 1818 and 1847, there were several different managers. each attached a new name to the hotel. in 1847, henry willard became the manager. from that time forward, the willard family played an important and prominent role for the next 100 years. let's talk about henry willard . henry willard came from vermont and

i am here to say that san francisco, while washington d.c. sticks its head in the sand on climate change, we will continue to lead in san francisco. [applause] and thank you to our policies and debbie, i want to thank you for that tribute, many of which were championed by our late mayor ed lee. san francisco has greenhouse gas emissions by 29%. and is the equivalent, think about it, the equivalent of taking 400,000 cars off the roads of san francisco and when we want to really do that today given the congestion we face. but i think the important point about all of this is we have done that while our economy has grown by 111% and our population has grown by over 20%. san francisco, all of us, we are debunking the myth that the trump administration is trying to promote that a healthy economy cannot succeed alongside a healthy environment. we are proving them wrong right here in the city of san francisco.

etan: after syracuse, i came to d.c. d.c. was a place rich with political energy. i remember, i was playing with the wizards, and the invasion of iraq happened. i was looking at it and it was after 9/11 and george w was making the connection or trying to make the connection to iraq. and i was like -- wait, what is the connection here? i don't see where the dots go here. the weapons of mass destruction were never found. wait a minute, i don't understand why we are going to war here. i don't get it. my younger brother had friends who were enlisted. i remember them going off to war. i remember how much it hit me. i was, like, wait a minute, little ed is going to war? how is he going? he's terrified. how do you think he's doing? youngwas like, all these sent to wareing for something that did not even happen. i was in d.c. and speaking in different rallies and i was playing for the washington wizards. one of the things that happened, and i talk about it in the book, that the ceo of the wizards at the time, his son was at one of the rallies. he commended me for standing

kuwaiti joins us now live from washington d.c. it's good to have you with season executive director of the african immigrant caucus we the area has several g. hardass groups operating would we know which ones are actually responsible for this attack. that is hard to say as you mentioned the governor who sort of. broke the news things that it is m.s.a. which sounds like a group play you cite illegals to ice so i says you know the caliphate that has been pretty much wiped out from the middle east have spilled over into afghanistan and into nearby regions including on the in the they're tearing in all the mali is that as it is this are days that is very hard to control and cause being terrorised they pick their targets the heat and they run so we will have to watch but so by sounds like it's a group dieties related to eisele ok why target the twa that when it's time the site is very much against government forces. i think that it's a great question. is will same that you know that to our eggs have hired. conflicts and disagreements w

steel tariffs and the war in syria it is the german chancellor second visit to d.c. sense trump took office i'm now joined by custom phenomena in washington coston trump gave french president mccraw a very warm welcome this week full of pomp and circumstance how are we expecting him to greet the chancellor today when i believe he would be friendly and polite even though there was a story in the washington post here just a few hours ago that trump allegedly said to some advisors that he's not looking forward to american visiting him but i believe the two won't show it's it's clear that america doesn't have the same kind of. chemistry with trump mccraw apparently has but i think she's comfortable with the fact that she doesn't go to a state visit that this is a working visit she's a very sober. person she's not into pomp and circumstance for her it would be most important to see what the outcome of the talks were. now the e.u. tax exemption on still aluminum this is something that is definitely on the table and it's set to expire at the beginning of the month and we kn

bush and president obama he joins us now from washington d.c. good to have you with us again so if we look at those particular areas that were struck we did expect some response especially a military response these are very pinpoint strikes the broader than the strikes that happened a year ago but are they going to have any effect on the actually going to stop assad from using chemical weapons because they're manageable according to the syrian government. right so that's the it was clear that what we had here or was a strike that was balanced by two considerations you wanted something that was really large enough to make the assad regime change its behavior to imprison him that they cannot violate this norm while the same time being small enough as not to engender a response by there are certainly russians and perhaps iranian sponsors so now the question is we wake up this morning will be have we done both of those things is this enough to convince the assad regime that it simply makes no military logic now for it to use chemical weapons that an

correspondent cost and phenomena in washington d.c. a cousin truck gave french president very warm welcome this week for all this pomp and circumstances how are we expecting him to greet the chancellor today. well i believe he would greet the chances on a very friendly and polite way but we won't see the kind of bromance show that we've seen between trump and crawl and i'm pretty sure that i'm going to makkah comfortable with that she's more sober and pragmatic person focused on facts and on the outcome of talks and not so much on pomp and circumstance of course you did have a very close relationship with trump's previous sense of barack obama but even that was more carried by the moocher respect that the two leaders had and i conned remember seeing those two holding hands or anything like that so it's quite obvious that donald trump and i'm going to makkah don't really click on the personal level but i think the fall into kind of level of where they can actually deal with each other on working levels so they would get along with see w

my mother worked in d.c. as a, quote, secretary. we never knew exactly where or anything, and i wonder is there a list, or how do we find out if, in fact, that might have been her job? >> guest: right. so, yeah, that's what all the women told their families after the war, that they were secretaries. so also on my web site there's a tab called resources for families and codebreakers, and i have instructions there. you can file a request for your mother or grandmother or aunt's civilian or military record during world war ii. it's all a matter of public record. i had a researcher, and her name is on my web site as well, or you can do it yourself. you can fileit a request, and is wonderful. you can get the college transcripts, you can get the background loyalty reports, and then you can get the ranks and the ratings and the work that these women did. so i highly recommend doing it. >> host: lyle in madison, alabama, you're on booktv. >> caller: good, thank you for taking my call. lyle here. hello? >> host: lyle, please go ahead. we are
