: his press spokesman. >> guest: his press spokesman. said he was stricken at 5600. for whatever reason, claimed that he had no history of heart disease which is simply wrong. and, of course, literally there were press going to the rca building expecting a body to be brought down. and anyway, the thing, the whole thing unraveled over the weekend. the importance of that 35 years later is this: that night, in my opinion, marked a transformation as great as the second night in the palace marked a travis formation -- transformation only this time instead of a political party it was the way journalists covered quote, the private lives of politicians. you can draw a line from january 26 1979, to gary hart and the monkey business and on jim mcgreevey and anthony weiner and, you know you name it. i believe that beginning with "the new york times" -- and it's important to know why the times did what they did -- i interviewed someone at the times who shall remain nameless, but someone -- al marshall -- who had been c

. : me at the press conference. he said, okay. the press conference that followed. he didn't, but the next one he did. just saying hello to him. and i told mike mccurry thank you and sent him a note to say thank you. and he will be you will me back. he wrote a note back on white house letterhead. that is all she wrote. >> host: that is a good one. writing a thank you note for the president breeding a question in. and news conferences you talk about that 1st question when you called yourself media slime. was it the content of your question? and were reporters hostile? >> i don't think it was the content of the question. as a friendly adversarial relationship in the building the american public the american public to some extent don't like us and others do. when we get classified with negatives but it might have been for others. it may not have. but that was not for them to say. we are they are focusing on one thing and you maybe focusing on another command that is the greatness of having a group of people in that room that ask different questions. but you stay on the

c-span: who was on there from the press with you? >> guest: sonia ross was the senior wire press person on board. she was from the "associated press" read the cbs camera crew a veteran crew from cbs george christian and eric washington and doug mills at "new york times" photographer so you had on board five journalists who knew inside and out how to cover the white house and i later told andy card that i thought i was the smart thing to do. i had already before we made the first landing not pushed all the press off the white house, all the white house press office think it would be the wrong message to show the president to disappear into the wild blue yonder. you needed the press to get the word out and i think andy made the right call on that. right now how did things change for you and covering the white house after nine 9/11? >> guest: i don't think 9/11 changed to what i do in the way i do it. certainly in the next two years it had a significant effect on how we covered the united states national security. i think there was a pe

against the press. tell us more about that. >> the press is her biggest obstacle. she wants to stay on message. the country is behind her on most issues. the press is going to want something besides canned answers. they are going to want more and more to go into these controversies that have to do with her persona, have to do with the history of the clintons. she's going to push back. that's going to be the dynamic that we're going to watch. that's going to be the dynamic we're going to be paying attention to. i also i think it's very important for the press in this election to start drilling down deep and not get taken in by any of these candidates. i watched the rubio stuff we just saw. it's nonsense. >> what was nonsense? >> it's just rhetoric. pure rhetoric. it's the job of the press to really look for the best attainable version of the truth, about the candidates whether the candidates are addressing the issues how they relate to the issues what is the history of the issues what are their personal

>> i am not filler with davis in the press, i'm afraid. chair holzer: there was just as much pushback in the confederacy as there was in the north. >> davis was hoping, however for a forest of support. you know? so it may not have been actual attacks on him. it was his policy and his personality. he was unpopular throughout the war. >> stevens had papers that were organs of his critique of the davis the ministration. >> legislation eventually passed in the confederacy to limit the press us -- press' freedoms. >> -- they were very cool to davis throughout the war. -- cruel to davis throughout the war. i don't know about his impression of them, but certainly he has enemies in the press who were, as you are hinting, almost seditious in their criticism of davis. chair holzer: i do want to make one brief point -- it is not criticism of lincoln that the administration craps down on. it is criticism of enlistment, criticism of the draft. that is what provokes the shutdown. co-chair varon: because those things danger the army, in lincoln's mind. c

and in our press picks. investigating whether a show is violating editorial standards for how they covered ben affleck's family history without acknowledging one of his family members was a slave owner. >> he traces the roots of his social consciousness to his mother. >> she always told me the character of a person is defined by adversity. >> we now know thanks to the e-mails that the actor lobbied the show's host and produce tore edit out material about his family's slave history. we've never anyone try to censor or edit what booef found. he's a mega star. what do we do. affleck wrote, we deserve neither credit nor blame or our ancestors, this shows we're still grabling with it. i didn't want my show to include a guy who owned slaves. i was embarrassed. >> hei'm buzzed off by an outrageous treatment of journalist and president obama takes a whack at the press at last night's media black tie dinner. i'm the protector of my patio. killing weeds where they grow. a barrier forms so weeds can't appear - serious

eisenhower did not meet the press best but he changed way everybody else met the press. sarah mcclendon was a white house reporter said in her memoirs that eisenhower should be given credit for birthing or creating the modern presidential news conference. i submit to you that that alone is monumental. because it changed the way the president not just interacted with the press, but the american people for the first time could see the exchange. craig allen says in his writings that one of the reasons that he did it was that eisenhower wanted to address the american people directly. james haggerty in his diary says that very thing, that eisenhower wanted to address the american people and not have a filter. that was the case here. whatever the reason he did it, it changed the nature of the communication and the american people were brought into the exchange. second, he embraced media advisers. that might not seem like a big deal today and the 21st century -- big deal today in the 21st century, because we have tv shows like "scandal" where we see media advisers running aroun

plates are made, plates are put on web press, the office press. we take that, and we take the signatures off the web press and we take it to the bindery. basically, from there we just gather signatures, bind it case it in and ship it. c-span: and how many people will tail be in the -- will actually be in the process as it goes through the assembly line? >> guest: all told in the manufacturing sector probably 30. if you took it just the one shift, 30 people. c-span: and how big a business is this around the country? are there a lot of -- are there other companies, a hot of competition? >> guest: there's definitely a lot of competition. there's been acquisitionings and mergers, so there's less names of printers but there's still a lot of competition. there's less work, and we're all vying for that work. like i said, we've been fortunate to actually increase year-over-year. c-span: how much has the technology of printing changed and how has it changed? >> guest: a lot of the technology has changed on the front end. if you go back, you know, setting t

a very different press corps. you covered her campaign now when i think to put it with a certain understated tone she hasn't been accessible to the media, particularly as this story exploded. talk about the difference there. >> it couldn't be more different. she went from being presidential candidate with an enormous press corps and high profile to being secretary of state, while a high profile job comes with a small plane compared to air force one or campaign plane and small press corps in the back of the plane. over time there is a real intimacy that develops between the secretary of state or secretary of defense. >> global matters and not the rough and tumble of campaign. >> right. there are 12 reporters on the plane who only care about the iran nuclear deal or north korean missiles and most of the time are only going to ask the secretary of state about those relevant issues at hand. she got comfortable and accustomed to that. now it's very different. >> do the people around clintons the aides, handlers and spi

brooks: this is ned brooks inviting you to meet the press. >> meet the press is a public affairs presentation of nbc news. mr. brooks: our guest today on meet the press is dr. martin luther king, jr., who led the civil rights march from selma to montgomery, alabama. dr. king, who is the winner of the nobel peace prize, is president of the southern christian leadership conference. he is in san francisco, where he delivered a sermon this morning for bishop pike at the grace cathedral. our panel of reporters is in washington, d.c., and we will have the first question now from lawrence e. spivak, permanent member of the meet the press panel. mr. spivak: dr. king, former president truman was quoted by the a.p. as saying that the march from selma -- and this was his word -- was silly, and can't accomplish a darn thing except to attract attention. there have been two murders, many beatings and a federal expenditure for troops of about $300,000. would you say that what the march accomplished was worth that cost? dr. king: well, first, i would say that the march was not silly at all. i would think tha

this press corps, well mshgs in the press corps want to be punked. they just are dying to be punked. they want to be impressed by her ability to smack them around. >> it's the whole 50 shades craze. they're like, yeah! i want to be sub. >> that's right. exactly. and for many in the press now, they are oohing and ahhing over her ability to defeat them which is kind of weird if you think about it. and basically this we have in real time if you think about it this way, we had in real time breaking news on the central issue about hillary clinton. central issuehillary clinton is trustworthiness. we had issues with her servers and talking about her digital hygiene while she was on the campaign trail. you know what report erdz did about it? nothing. they were penned up. they couldn't get to her. but at a certain point, you just would have to get sick of it. remember they were screaming at mitt romney when walking across to go lay a reej in poland? what about your gas? what about your servers? >> yeah. >> well they don't seem quite as agitated about getting

governor pence held a press conference and said that he expects legislation on his desk this week. the law won't allow businesses to deny services to anyone. as indiana tries to quite the storm, another state is going straight into the buzzsaw. gabe gutierrez is in indianapolis and he's got some information on the laws not only in indiana but also in arkansas. gabe, good morning. >> reporter: joe, good morning. the governor says that he's working around the clock to clarify the language in this law by the end of the week possibly by thursday. the indiana governor mike pence blasted his critics, saying indiana's new law is about religious freedom not discrimination. >> this law has been smeared. >> the front page of the indianapolis star fix this now. the governor says he's working with lawmakers to clarify the law's intent. under this law, as it's written, is it legal for a florist to deny services to a same-sex couple citing their religious belief. >> this law does not give anyone the license to deny services to gays and lesbians. miller wrote on online it will help christian bake

>> because she is so hostile to the press and disdainful of the press. of course there will always be the effort to get her to answer questions and she will always be resisting it and we will have 18 months. >> but there was "20 year human invasion project of hillary clinton." so i am sure it is done. everyone will be lovin' her. >> we take ought about celebrity coverage including "town and country," the bill clinton as great global state man and a gushing piece on chelsea clinton talking about her mom being first president, does that matter? >> i don't see any "elle," covers of rand paul's wife, why isn't he? i think that the general desire in the media to cover the clinton's favourability is still there although you are right, there is hostility toward the clintons, but overall, they are treated as celebrity status that you are not going to see with ted cruz, for example. >> hear is one outlet not treating her with great warmth "new york post," and signaling that the former secretary of state will not "no no, no, no," but it said "oh hill no." >> inter

so she was treated in the press, especially the presidential press that was unused to this kind of first lady with real aggression. and she, who doesn't have i think, it's also true a natural ease with the press. the press responded in kind and that's been going on for 30 years now. >> david, we're seven years past that primary, you guys did get better coverage than hillary clinton in 2007 and 2008. >> i think we did. we got good coverage. we were a better story, frankly. i think we didn't bring to it the sense of -- the adversarial sense that seemed to consume their campaign. i'm a former journalist and i understand journalist jobs aren't to be stenographers, just simply writing down what candidates say. i tried to impart that to the entire operation. obama himself is a writer. and he enjoyed interaction. i can't say hillary loved the coverage he got. sometimes he can be thin skinned, too. >> the irony is i bet you if there was some metric to measure it barack obama's attitude towards the press corps is more similar to hillary clinton's now having been through this for six years than it

keep it right here for "press pass" this morning after "meet the press." it's an in-depth conversation with some of the biggest news makers. you can see press pass at 11:30 on nbc4. >>> tomorrow you can head to the national zoo for easter monday, a washington family tro dags. this year barriers are up to control crowds and you have to walk through a bag check to get inside the zoo. the new security measures are in response to past violence on easter monday. >>> the nationals play their home opener against the new york mets. you have to walk through metal detector detectors. the first pitch is at 4:05 p.m. we'll have live coverage of opening day beginning on "news 4 today" at 4:26 tomorrow morning. and tomorrow we will hear the university of virginia's response to review of an article alleging a culture of rope on its campus. right now a journalistic review is being conducted about a now discredited "rolling stone" article that detailed a rope on campus. >>> metro wants to extend parking fees by two hours at all locations there and the budget proposal does

and you saw i pressed him too. but in his defense it must be very irritating, even for viewers at home to see somebody who they like who they think has a chance get questioned like that when there is not a chance that, you know, some in the mainstream media would have pressed barack obama like that you know, years ago. they see a double standard. >> and i've been flooded with facebook messages from conservatives saying, yeah, go rand, and savannah guthrie was rude. first of all, while she may have talked over him and asked an overly long question, the basic question, why have you changed your position on x is such a fundamental campaign question that we all have it in our keyboards. but secondly, whether he scored points or not and whether he's justified or not, it doesn't matter. savannah guthrie's not running for anything. ted cruz -- excuse me, rand paul running for the president of the united states. and he made the entire week about what you asked him about, others asked him about, is he too testy, does he hav

in a way that will annoy the press. the expectations are skyhigh. the media expect this to run like an incumbent campaign. they will get back coverage for the bumps. john: why not announce it a week from now? because of all these things, it is going to be 200 reporters in des moines. she will be in a coffee shop and they are saying they will go low to the ground -- you cannot do that with 200 reporters. they will figure out a way to get a few in the room but 200 -- that is not normal. mark: if she delivers a great message, she can pay for these problems. coming this weekend. john: we will see. here are three things that hillary clinton is not what you singing. trey gowdy a blackberry commercial and our new poll. we will have new result coming. the first four numbers are all bad for hillary clinton. bad number 1 -- her favorability number is down to 40%, the first time it has been below 50% in any bloomberg poll since 2009. that number 2 -- 72% of democrats and independents say they would like to see hillary facfe a stif

i'm humiliated for my kind, the press. let's go to chief white house correspondent ed henry who filed this report from the campaign trail with mrs. clinton, and he was not one of those people chasing that car. >> well the media is collect i havely allowing hillary clinton's campaign to kick off much differently than the republican side. and that's allowing her to accomplish her short term political goals of getting this message out that she's a very effective champion of the middle class. i saw it today here at this produce facility where she was conducting almost an oprah-style talk show, nodding smiling, asking small business owners questions. meanwhile, we were penned off behind those boxes near the boxes and pallets back there, and when reporters shouted questions about same-sex marriage, the e-mail controversy, she ignored it and walked out. that's different than marco rubio earlier this week doing the fox interview but also nrp, abc, rand paul recently announcing, then doing the interviews with fox and nbc, savannah

at the top of the hour, the baltimore police, they head a press conference, a very brief press conference. in that press conference, we learned two important things. one, the baltimore police department has turned over the investigation into the death of freddie gray over to the city's chief prosecutor. that was an important step that everyone watching this situation closely was waiting to see. they've turned that investigation over. they did not announce any charges. they didn't announce any details, really, of that investigation, or of that police report, and no timeline of what happens now. they did announce, though, that that investigation has been turned over. one additional detail, though, that did come out, that is now raising many more questions is the fact that the police announced a previously unknown stop by the police van carrying freddie gray, that they discovered in the course of their investigation. they called it, they discoverededdiscovered ed a new stop that they turned up on private security camera footage that they had not known previously. no more details, they simply

we walked out and the press was standing there. we did not say anything, we just stood side-by-side. she thought i looked worried and she spoke to me, and she said "senator, you look so worried." i said, my god, madam prime minister. the picture you paint. she said "don't worry." i thought he only said this to me. she said "we have a secret weapon in our conflict with the arabs. you see, we have no place else to go." i was criticized in the national press a couple of weeks ago when i said that in fact every jew in the world needs there to be an israel. it was characterized by the conservatives as saying i was implied jews were not safe in america. they do not get it. they don't get it. israel, israel is absolutely essential. absolutely essential. for the security of jews around the world. and that is why you have never farmed out your security. you have accepted all of the help we can give. the most admirable thing is that you have never asked us to fight for you. but i promise you, if you are attacked, we would fight for you.

go to the place to put on the web press, offset press take that and we take signatures off the web press and take it to the bindery. basically from their we gather signatures, bite it case it in and ship it. >> and how many people will actually be in the process as it goes through the assembly line? >> all told in the manufacturing sector that's probably 30 if you took just one shift. >> and how big a business is this around the country? are there a lot of other companies, a lot of competition? >> there is competition. a lot of competition with ledgers and mergers so there are less names of printers but there still a lot of competition out there. there's a little must work and where all vying for that work. like i said we've been fortunate tax increase year over year. >> how much does the technology of printing changed? how has it changed speak with a lot of the doll just change on the front and. go back, sitting tight, film that type of thing the prepress air has changed quite a bit of everything comes in electronically. electronic file which we take and we oppose and make it into a pro

the spokes there, responding right at the top of the press conference to press reports about houthis seizing a provincial capitol in the southeastern region. that's right in the heart of sunni tribal lands. he seems to be suggesting these are only small isolated units of houthis that will be targeted but they are there. is this another step do you think, towards a firmly sectarian conflict taking root in yemen? >> well, it show there is an issue in yemen. the saudi-lead coalition says it is determined to undermine the capabilities of the houthi rebels, and that they can see that they are destroying their capabilities across the country. on the other hand the narrative of the houthis so far is despite the air strikes they are still there on the ground with their forces in the city of aden and taking over the province which is a sunni strong hold. that move comes as a huge surprise to people in the south, and to the -- and to the saudis themselves, because this is supposed to be a very safe secure area under the control of forces loyal to president hadi. it shows that the saudis will d

cannon: nancy reagan got tough press coverage. but as mary todd lincoln, the nature of that war, she is fair game. she is a sthrieser a spinthrift a hysteric. slate had a piece five years ago. 2010, this woman is beating up her. nancy reagan got that. ms. swain: how did she regroup? we'll wait and show people. i was thinking about an example of hilleary clinton and i'm not going to stand by and bake cookies. how did she recover from presenting herself that way? ms. swain: i remember the comments that she made, one of them, i'm proud of my country. what happened inside the campaign? was there a major pullback? >> she didn't have much of a team and she was being herself and always done when her husband campaigned. ms. thompson: when she was in small places in iowa and new hampshire, they were response independent to her and this time it was caught on television and the press corps ignored her because they were covering the primaries tuned in and the campaignso response was to send her some advisers so she would have some guidance, y

they didn't let the full press pool into the museum, only still photographers. there were some great pictures of the president looking at the old albums. it was especially frustrating to me, because we could hear faintly, strains of "one love" playing, which would've been a nice sound for our radio story. on arrival in kingston, but we didn't get it. christi parsons: scott e-mailed me -- whenever there is a problem with access, the members of the pool start e-mailing to each other. he told me that the soundtrack of this huge conflagration in kingston was, "one love" by bob marley. what mix are you looking for at the white house? are you looking for a particular mix in your beat reporting? scott: we try to report the news of the day. there was a time when npr saw itself as sort of a supplementary news source. we thought all of our listeners were getting the breaking news in their papers and we would be something different, next day analysis. the old joke in our business is, did the news a day late and call it analysis. for better or worse, for many people, we are

as far as the press and the media how they will react, you're right. they won't treat where the same loving affection that they treated obama but they will treat her better than the republican candidate. that's what matters. >> that a book club for conservatives. why is that necessary? >>> if you're conservative, you'll want to know about a new book club. first we would like to bring to your attention the most recent television ratings released yesterday. here's the chart of all cable programs. the factor has three episodes in the top ten. wow! you may also notice real house wives of atlanta made the list at number nine. what does that say? if you know, please e-mail me. i have no clue. in my book legends and lies debuts at number one. thank you all. and i'm really glad we have made history popular again. younger americans really need to know about what happened in this country. the debate with tavis smiley was terrific. you won, bill by reinforcing that drug trafficking is a violent crime. families are harmed by incarceration and the breakdown is gett

welcome to "press pass." congratulations on the book. >> much obliged. >> let's start with a question i get asked about the obamas. does michelle obama like being first lady? >> that was not a life she would have chosen. she really had a very independent identity in chicago, in civic life and professional life. it is very clear they had some tough conversations. >> they talk about. >> they talk about -- >> they talk about the marital problems around the turn of the century. >> they talked about their lives. they have been public about some of the challenges they faced. in 2006 the very end of 2006 the team was ready to go ready to try to get barack obama elected. and they wanted to make sure that michelle was on board. >> what got her on board? >> she believes in him. she felt that this man could be a terrific president. she knew as his partner that this was something he needed to try to do. she thought about it. she's a listmaker. she said i took myself down every dark road i could imagine, and she said we c

the court does not ask why the crucial free speech clause is in 3rd place and why press, assembly and petition follow in that order. the relationship of the seven judge made non-textual first amendment non- textual first amendment right freedom of association to the six textual ideas is never even considered nor is the question of whether other nonsexual first amendment rights like the right to vote hiding in plain sight in the white spaces of the first amendment just waiting to be discovered. similarly, the court does not ask where the 2nd amendment's right to bear arms immediately follows after the iconic first amendment or why the criminal procedure amendments of four through eight are ordered as they are. why is the 4th amendment 4th and immediately before the 5th? why does the 6th follow the 5th and why does the 8th amendment and the criminal procedure parade? finally, finally, we do not ask why madison closes the bill of rights his great form to freedom and democracy, with a tantalizing 9th amendment that holds out the promise of recognizing new nonsexual rights and an austere 1

dealing with press folks. i think it depends -- if they're empowered, it really depends particularly on the white house on how the top staff, the senior advisers, the communications director the press secretary depending who it is, decides to empower people who are on their staff, and there is instances where those folks are given a tremendous amount of leeway to share information, in the meetings, they understand what is going on and it is worth talking to them. and there is times when it is not worth talking to them at all because they know nothing, they -- if they do they're not going to tell you because they're afraid of their own shadow. they're not empowered in any meaningful way and so they're not really useful in that sense. so i think it -- the same goes for the hill you know. there are some press folks who -- in fact, i'll give you an example in the white house ben rhodes, his official title is strategic something communications director for the nsc. well, that belies the fact he's probably the close

what you see here is a full court press. you see representatives from across the agency swps volunteer agencies that bring the full weight of the state government to deliver resources to achieve the governor's goals which are clear. we will be working diligently in our different sections that are activated, transportation support support, law enforcement and health and medical and human services and through planning logistics and operations we will achieve the necessary results we need to achieve the governor's directive. i'll turn it over to governor hogan again. thank you, sir. >> before we take your questions, we trn the podium here over to general linda singh from the maryland guard. >> the guard is activated this season and we have a full mrement in the state which means up to 5,000 troops can be put onto the streets to actually protect property and people. i would highly recommend that we all go in and take cover for the night and actually go to sleep and get some rest and let things settle down so we can restore order

joy, awaiting a press conference by the police. >> we are waiting that press conference, lawrence, any minute now. that should be getting under way and the baltimore police department has been tweeting throughout the night sort of various things going on including that press conference including obviously the thus that everybody but credentialed media should be off the streets. pretty quiet here. none but the media and what's left of the national guard and the police force. so very quiet. it will be interesting to see how extensively they answer questions about this press conference about the substance of this issue rather than just about the curfew. i'm presuming they'll want to talk about how the curfew is going. the sort of small skirmishes by the cvs we saw earlier tonight but there are a lot of questions and i know i will love to ask them and see if the media is able to get an answer about the freddie gray case. i would not hold our breath waiting for that. >> one of the things we heard in the baltimore police update was that an officer had been injured. had been involved in some

it's "meet the press." >> announcer: from nbc news in washington, this is "meet the press with chuck todd." >>> good morning. now comes the hard part, the u.s. and its negotiating partners reached an agreement with iran on a framework of a deal to contain iran's nuclear program. not surprisingly, the reaction is decidedly mixed. iran's foreign minister got a hero's welcome when he arrived home. but more hawkish elements in each country criticized the deal. hard-liners on iran charge their side gave up too much to placate the united states. and here at home, president obama faces a tough task of convincing not just republicans, but many democrats that this deal is better than no agreement at all, which could allow iran to continue its nuclear program without limitations or inspections. one key ally the president has certainly been unable to convince is israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu. he joins me now live from jerusalem. prime minister, happy passover. welcome back to "meet the press." >> thank you. happy holidays to all. >> i will have more than four questions for you, i p

to impose such evander then they're put on the press and we take that and we get signatures and ship it. >> and what about the assembly line? >> how big of a business so with those acquisitions and mergers there is still a lot of competition out there. it is less work and but to increase year over year. >> how much is that technology changed? >> as they tried to file to make it into a product that is on the front and decide. is there any way to estimate to produce than $30? >> just a few dollars less than that. about half of the $30 if they go to a bookstore if his $3 a could be that range. because our costs is mostly labor but those other labor. >>. >> with the biggest bush should have printed the last few years? >> if you harry potter books some grisham books also 50 shades which is a best seller. and the maze runner series with the movie tie-in. >> what about the process after 36 years? >> with manufacturing people putting hands and their machinery. and they have done something to produce something physical. >> where did you grow up? >> madison went to school university of wiscons

bill, pretty stunning press conference over there, what did you hear and what didn't you hear from the ceo. >> reporter: good morning. the ceo the boss of lufthansa carter spohr was dressed in a black suit and it was a somber statement that he read out to journalists, he said it was a terrible accident. he said the grief is still with us every hour. he said we're learning more every day about the cause of the accident but that it will take a long, long time to understand exactly how it happened. he said, i gave my word to the family we want to help as long as we can. he said we're very sorry. there's just no words to express it. and frankly, joe, he didn't say very much more not many words he spoke quickly in french and then he just turned on his heels and walked away. i then tried to ask him a few questions, but as you'll hear he didn't have anything more to say. >> merci. merci. >> sir, when did you find the 209 e-mail from lubitz? >> i'm sorry. i'm sorry. there's no questions and answers. sorry for that. sorry for this. thank you. thank you so much. >> sir, your employee crashed a p

we're going to take a break here right before that press conference we will be right back with that press conference. >>> we're back with our live coverage. the curfew is 1 hour and 43 minutes old. it has been relatively uneventful. the images you're seeing of that confrontation between police happened at 9:30, about 30 minutes into the curfew. >> 10:30. >> it was quickly dealt with by police and, rachel, very effectively dealt with. it really -- they got this situation under control pretty quickly and people just made the decision, okay, that's it. we're going home. >> there had been a lot of people at this intersection all day long. this had been the site of some of what was described as almost festival like atmosphere, very peaceful protesting and even things like singing and dancing at this intersection today. a site of violence yesterday. today it was a very different scene, but the sheer number of people at that intersection today created worry that when the police tried to clear it it was going to be hard to do. when the police an hour before the curfew went into effect made a conc

our friend ben paar when "press here" continues. >>> welcome back to "press here." i hope that you are a longtime viewer but if you're new to us you should understand one of the selling points of this show is our reporters. yes, our guests are smart. but our reporters are just as smart. hanna to my right, oxford educated, and an expert on french history. many of our reporters have written books. matt leads the pack i think, with three books. sara lacey, two books. across the top there, joe in the corner of reuters, he's written one. "the times," john schwartz of "usa today." raef needleman of cnet all have one book under their belt. to now we can add ben parr. he's been a regular here as well as a reporter at mashable. his book is "captivology." ben joins us now. as long as i'm handing out compliments, let's point out while hanna went to oxford, you were an eagle scout. >> that's true. >> which is a huge achievement, and i compliment you on that. all right. well, let me ask an easy question what's captivology? >> captivology is the science and psychology of attentio
