we turn to john harwood who joins us from washington. good to see you as always. i think one of the things that the market is is most i guess worried and concerned about is the fact that the candidates they thought were going to do well on either side of the ticket aren't doing as well as some of the quote-unquote outlying candidates. that's brought a lot of confusion into the markets. >> certainly the failure of hillary clinton to consolidate her position so far, the failure of jeb bush, marco rubio, those mainstream candidates who we thought were going to rise at the beginning, adds to some uncertainty in the markets. but we're just at beginning of this process. hillary clinton is still the favorite. and perhaps if bernie sanders makes the market nervous, hillary clinton will calm it down a little bit if she, as expected, takes control of the democratic race. republican race is more uncertain. you've got donald trump and ted cruz, two choices on the republican side that the markets hadn't planned on. they're still in the driver's seat in this race. so we may hav

tonight on "washington week." >> secretary clinton does establishment. i remember, i hope, ordinary americans. >> enough is enough. to say, sayomething it. >> sanders, clinton. fireworks! >> in my view, the business fraud.f wall street is >> i've heard sanders' comments. to wonder, caused me who is left in the progressive wing of the democratic party? side,the republican donald trump and ted cruz launched into hand-to-hand combat. >> by the way, this guy, ted cruz, ted cruz goes out. you talk about liars! >> i

this "washington week" election special. hillary clinton, recovering from a big new hampshire defeat, strikes back. a single issue issue. and i do not believe we live in single-issue country. >> and bernie sanders, poised to giant, shows he won't back down. >> you're not in the white house yet. as the democrats spar, the republican field narrows, as the remaining candidates launch ahead. >> the last thing we need is another bush. you.i can tell that i can tell you. >> i did not do well on saturday this. so listen to that will

. >> stewart: the funeral mass for supreme court justice antonin scalia was held today in washington, d.c. pallbearers carried scalia's flag-draped coffin into the basilica of the national shrine of the immaculate conception this morning. this was the first funeral for a supreme court justice to be held in the nation's largest catholic church. scalia died one week ago at the age of 79, after 30 years on the high court. one of his nine children, the reverend paul scalia, presided over the ceremony attended by an estimated 4,000 mourners, including vice president joe biden, former vice president dick cheney, all eight current supreme court justices, and two retired justices. following greetings by cardinal donald wuerl, the archbishop of washington, supreme court justice clarence thomas read a passage from the new testament book of romans: >> "hope does not disappoint because the love of god has been poured out into our hearts through the holy spirit that has been given to us." >> stewart: there was no formal eulogy, but reverend scalia talked about his father with warmth and humor and

for "nightly business report," i'm hampton pearson in washington. >>> the national retail fed expects sales to grow a little bit more than 3% this year. that's higher than the ten-year average and excludes automobiles, gas stations, and restaurants. the industry group cites a strengthening job market and steady consumer confidence and says more spending will shift away from the mall. consumer spending accounts for about 7 0% of all economic activity. >>> the supreme court blocked the white house's clean power plan. the justices put on hold rules that would curb carbon dioxide emissionses from coal-fired power plants. the court decisions means the regulations will not go into effect until an appeals court makes its ruling. the white house says it disagrees with the decision. >>> also in washington, the internal revenue service says identity thieves hacked into their system. their goal was to steal your tax refund. eamon javers has more on the last thing any taxpayer wanting to see during tax season. >> reporter: this is one of those ones where the irs said they were able to nip it in t

, republicans in washington they feel that way because they think he's better than cruz. they just don't want ted cruz. we had a poll recentlyshowed the way. they are more increasingly comfortable with or can see themselves with how the question was posed votintrump but i thint that it matters there's going to be a lot of twist and turns and remainltz to be seen -- remains to be seen how they will actually vote. >> rose: if donald trump wins in iowa his election to lose and he will to inflict a mortal wound on hi does. >> up to a point. but this is a long process, and matthew laid out a couple different scenarios. one, if trump starts to run the table here and goes into new hampshire and south carolina, that's one. but as matthew said, it's possible perhaps that marco rubio finishes surprisingly strongly here. that would set up a different dynamic. or if ted cruz wins in iowa and donald trump the man who has won everything loses the first one, then we've got a third dynamic. so i think we can sketch out where this race might be going but until we actually know what the or

. >> i don't think his last because washington guess profiled him in the paper a week ago said endorsed a candidate seven years after he died. >> your)g paper is still conservative, still very conservative but it's different than it was. >> it is because we tonight have william lobe. he was a one of a kind force. he was from the year of hearst. he was with my dad was co-founder of the sunday new hampshire news by the way. he was called by lobe on the front page a skunk. and then a skunk's skunk. my father upped the ante where he was a skunk skunk skunk in one headline. mccarthy wrote a book about that campaign and said they did it editorially but they were fair to him in the news columns even though he was the under dog. they covered his campaign.) and he appreciated it. >> one of you mentioned before the media's all over the place now. and it used to be not many reporters but some and up here there was the union leader. >> jack and others, marty monroe. year after year after year and cultivate sources and get on the ground. >> because of the unpredictability, just four years ago kathy,

"the washington post" join mess now. you want you to respond. he's been the subject of media coverage describing a cozy relationship with donald trump. he's been dismissing those criticisms. let's look at what he said about you on his show. >> "washington post" actually after our town hall meeting the other night when i eperred him with so many questions that i was attacked for interrupting too much actually said how dare they hold a town hall meeting where they don't ask him tough questions. e we asked tougher questions than our ket. tors ask who have the media writers and people have the audacity to ask if we're too close to donald trump. the answer is, no, we're not. >> he says he's been tough. you said he let him skate. >> i think that there is one of these it great situations where both sides can claim, look at this question, look at at that question. my point here is sort of a larger one. that is if you allow donald trump -- if youen gauge him only on social security, iraq, the issues and how he's going to unite the republican party, you'r

in 1957 when dedicating the islamic center in washington d.c. president eisenhower said i should like to assure you my islamic friends that under the american constitution and in american hearts this place of worship is just as welcome as any other religion. [ applause ] and perhaps the most pertinent fact, muslim-americans enrich our lives today in every way. they're our neighbors and teachers who inspire our children. doctors who trust us with our health. future doctors like saba. they're scientist who's win nobel prizes. young that create new technology wez use all the time. they're the sports heroes we cheer for. like mohammed ali. one of the americans waving the red, white, and blue will be a fencing champion wearing her hijab in the next olympics. she is here today. stand up. come on. i told her to bring home the gold. not to put any pressure on you. muslim-americans, keep us safe. they're our police and our firefighters. they're in homeland security, in our intelligence community. they serve honorably in our armed forces, meaning they fig

by marcia coyle, the chief washington correspondent for "the national law journal," and jamal green, a professor and a vice dean at columbia university law school here in new york. thank you both for being here. marcia, i would like to start with you. just give me your take on scalia's lasting legacy. >> well, william, i think his legacy will be in several areas. first of all, and perhaps most importantly, is his approach to constitutional interpretation as well as interntion of statutes. he was what he said, called himself an originalist in that when he interpreted the constitution, he would look at how the words of the constitution were understood at the time of the framers. he also was a tect allist meaning he would look at the words in the statute and if the meaning was clear, that was the end for him. i think both approaches really have been taken to heart by a whole generation of young legal scholars. and others as well. practitioners, even politicians. he was a force in conservative legal thought. and then also i think his legacy will be felt in certain areas where he lead the

he has been covering washington for more than 40 years. he also moderated three presidential election debates and now a cbs news contributor. before we talk about the presidential race, let me ask you about the stunning and tragic news about justice scalia. i think it's known for you in washington sometimes you see the justices even though there's a vail of secrecy over the court. did you ever interact with him and what are your experiences with him? >> i met him once at a party. that's the extent of my personal contact. he was truly an intellectual giant. no getting around that. one could disagree or agree with him. he made his mark but i got to tell you, brian. i woke up this morning and looked at my iphone and there was the headline on the washington post story that says scalia's death spurs partisan sclash. i thought my god they haven't dug the poor man's grave yet and we're talking about a partisan brought on by his death. it's where we are in american politics today. >> we can talk about whether it's good or bad but it's certainly ch

>> i think washington is schizophrenic. i think some in washington say if russia want to fight isis and iran want to fight isis go ahead but i would say it's schizophrenic. >> rose: the defense told me sometimes the russian airstrikes are hitting american-supported rebel groups. >> but sometimes -- take the kurds as an example and i think you can understand this and it's the most bizarre proxy fight. the kurds are there for a long time in a u.s.-supported group. not client but almost the most favored allie. >> rose: and successful. >> turkey doesn't want the kurds to get too powerful. some of the kurds are classified by the u.s. as a terrorist organization to make it more complicated. what's russia doing? vu russia's been bombing and helping the kurds advance so they're trying to pry away the kurdish allie from the united states and many believe what russia's trying to do is drive turkey into a ground war against the kurds to punish turkey for having shot down a russian plane. >> rose: what is the chance of escalation betwe

and from washington the editor of politico susan glasser. i am pleased to have all of them back on this program. david let me start with the democrats because this was a surprisingly close race. what does it say about hillary clinton, sander bernie sanders, new hampshire and the rest of the season. >> nothing good ever happens to hillary in iowa. they poured themselves into it in iowa and she ground out her vote through organization. bernie sanders inspired a lot of people to come out. it was sort of perspiration versus inspiration. he beat her 6 to 1 among young people. this is a cautionary note for her. this is exactly what happened to her with barack obama in 2008. he did well among working class votervoters in eastern iowa whih should be a sogsnary note for her as well as they move into other states. i don't think the wind changed fundamentally, the dynamic. one other thing i should mention is he did well among independent voters who can opt into the caucus. he did very, very well with them. it's one of the reasons why new hampshire is s

last year, arena stage in washington, d.c. mounted a production of the play, "the originalist." it offered a distinct portrait of scalia. and our jeffrey brown profiled that show and what it conveyed about the man. here's an excerpt. >> the court has been my theater and i have the costumes. >> brown: in the new play, "the originalist," the first thing you notice about actor edward gero is his striking physical resemblance to the character he's playing: the real-life supreme court justice, antonin scalia. >> i tell people what they don't want to hear. that's what makes me a monster. that's how half the country see me: combative, law and order conservative. and that's what the other half sees me as a hero. which am i? >> brown: as it happens, both the justice and the actor trace their heritage to nearby villages in southern italy, both are from new jersey, raised in catholic homes and schools. to really "be scalia," all gero had to do was take a short ride over to the supreme court, to watch him in action, to get the mannerisms down. >> he sort of closes his eyes a little bit, and

in washington today, u.s. secretary of state john kerry said moscow's military campaign in syria has jeopardized any prospect for peace. >> russia's activities from aleppo and in the region are making it much more difficult to be able to come to the table and be able to have a serious conversation. we've called on russia and we call on russia again to join in the effort to bring about an immediate cease-fire and bring about full humanitarian access. >> brangham: for the pbs newshour, i'm william brangham. >> woodruff: next, to detroit, and a city school system in turmoil, plagued with decrepit buildings, financial uncertainty, a chronic lack of resources, and now, a recent wave of teacher "sick-outs." all of it is fueling a growing anxiety that the system could run out of money in coming months. april brown has our report, part of our "making the grade" series, which airs every tuesday. >> we started to call it a theme geyser because we really don't know what it is. if you notice there are steam coming out the

king marched on washington. unafraid to challenge the status quo to end racial profiling, take on police misconduct, and take down a system that profits from mass imprisonment. "there is no president who will fight harder to end institutional racism." >> he's consistently fought for rights for all people: equality and justice. and it's not just a passing thing with him. it's something he's done for close to 50 years. >> woodruff: sanders' camp acknowledges she's ahead-- their goal is to hold down the size of her margin here-- as they to try to pick off some of the delegate-rich super tuesday states. but with african americans making up a significant portion of the states coming up, clinton's advantage with blacks here in south carolina amounts to a serious-- and enduring-- challenge for him. and that brings us to shields and pannuru: that's syndicated columnist mark shields, and ramesh ponnuru of "national review." david brooks is away. welcome, gentlemen. >> thank you, judy. >> woodruff: so hold that thought ab

for more, go to cnn.com and read my washington post column this week. let's get started. >>> let's get right to the big stories from around the world with tom. tom, welcome. >> good to be with you. >> let me ask you first this bit of news about president obama going to cuba. he's already being hammered on the campaign trail by some trubs. is it a good idea or naive? >> that's a great idea. go down and engage with the people. show them the best of america, their economic model. whoever in your audience is afraid of cuba, please have them raise their hand. i'm not afraid of cuba. it's well past time that we ended our isolation of cuba. it's a lab test that utterly failed. the more we engage them, the more we'll enhance the move. >> is there any out here? >> i've been thinking about this issue. i've been quiet weary to get involved because i didn't see a path going forward and certainly deeply concerned about the hu n humanitarian dimension. syria has spilled out so many refugees they're destabilizing the states around like turkey, jordan, lebanon. at the

this whole sense that america is in an anti-establishment, anti-washington, anti-wall street, anti-media, whatever, mood, that that's the pervasive mood in the country today? >> yeah, look, i want to pick up on something joe said about low-information voters. i agree with most of what he said and it's a very disrespondent -- disspohn dent moment for some. trump voters know it's the most effective way of putting the middle finger up and they know exactly what they're expressing through him. even if they don't disagree with everything he, is the more outrageous he is, the more he uses inappropriate terms about rivals like ted cruz, terms they weren't apparently allowed to use on air, the better he becomes as what they think of a symbol of the establishment that, look, we think so little of you that even trump are better. there are high information people voting that way. i was talking to them earlier. there are people who know what's going on. in regard to the economy, i agree very much with megan. it's a major factor. the aggregate growth numbers are numbers a lot of people think are rigg

well, washington, d.c., may start doing just that. after murders in the nation's capital went up 54% last year, the city council recently voted for a crime bill that includes a provision to give money to those who are most likely to commit acts of violence. >> all those in favor of the amendment in the nature of a substitute, say aye. >> 200 people per year could receive payments in conjunction with mentorship and therapy. criticism of the proposal has been witherring, as you might imagine, and the bill is not certain to go through, but here is a really crazy part. another city has run a similar program for several years paying out tens of thousands of dollars, and it appears to be working. in 2007 the bay area city of richmond, california, was the ninth most dangerous city in the united states. things were so bad, the city officials thought about asking the national guard to be sent in. instead, they created the office of neighborhood safety, a new department, separate from law enforcement, that would focus on reaching out to the com

i recently sat down with jay newton-small, washington correspondent for "time" magazine and author of "broad influence: how women are changing the way america works". jay newton-small, welcome. >> thanks so much. >> woodruff: us there's no confusing what "broad" refers to here, right? >> no. it's actually referring to women. and i don't know if you knew this, but broad used to be a pretty derogatory term for women, which we're hoping to sort of reclaim a little bit, but it used to apply to our himself because we have broad himself, because we bear children. and, of course, we bear children. we should be proud of that fact. >> woodruff: i absolutely remember when it was considered a derogatory term but times are changing. jay newton-small, you do a lot of reporting here on how women are doing. what's really interesting, though, is how you document, women have to reach a certain level, a critical mass, so to speak before things really change. exu reported on the u.s. congress. talk about that and what you found. >> sure. so the book actually grew from a story that i did for "time" magaz

has bipartisan support in washington. this was republican paul ryan more than a year before he was elected speaker of the house of representatives: >> we should make sure that in this country, it always pays to work. i would do that by increasing the earned income tax credit for childless workers. >> reporter: president obama reiterated his call for the same change in his state of the union address last month. >> i'd welcome a serious discussion about strategies we can all support, like expanding tax cuts for low-income workers who don't have children. >> reporter: currently, to qualify for the e.i.t.c., a childless worker has to be at least 25 years old and earn below $15,000 a year, while a single parent with three kids can earn almost $48,000. and the maximum credit a childless adult can get is about $500, one-twelfth of the more than $6,000 a single parent with three kids could receive. president obama and speaker ryan have made similar proposals: doubling the existing credit, lowering the eligibility age to 21, and i

but also in washington. first the question really is what did you think of the regulation that were passed after the crash in 2007 and 8. >> i strongly supported the need for financial reform. when dod trang was passed i supported it but i was worried maybe it didn't go far enough to address the two big to fail issue of the largest banks. i gave a speech in 2011 at the federal reserve bank of chicago where i articulated my concerns. but i wanted to reserve judgement. >> rose: that even after dodd-frank, too big to fail was still a problem. >> yes. none of us, no, no matter what your polit wall party is, none of us wants to be in the position where we once again have to use taxpayer am unto stabilize large banks. and the question i asked is, did dodd-frank go far enough. so now here we are. i joined the federal reserve, i'm talking to the experts. the minneapolis fed, they literally wrote the book on too big to fail, before the crisis, literally, the original book. not andrew ross sorkin's version. the o, the

over the president's refusal to arm the syrian rebels, now a fellow with the middle east institute in washington, he also teaches at yale. >> secretary kerry has made huge, huge, huge efforts but it's too early to say if it represents any progress. the cease-fire is going to be a huge uphill. the russians and the syrian regime have incentives to keep fighting. i don't think the war is over by any means. >> warner: but prem kumar, who worked on syria on the national security council until last year, says it's an important first step. >> it is an important process that will hopefully lead to increase humanitarian assistance, i think we have seen then longer term if the process holds to discussions about longer term political issues that have bedeviled syria for several years now. >> warner: he thinks it marks a welcome evolution in u.s. thinking, away from regime change. >> what is really important about this recent initiative is that this begins to shift the which u.s. and its partners increase pressure on assad to negotiate his own departure to a paradigm of trying to freeze the conflict, provid

allies and from washington, which doubted the feasibility of this agreement. there is a call for war, and not for peace, in these voices. >> ifill: secretary of state john kerry said again today he cannot vouch that the truce will work. he and lavrov also spoke by phone. severe weather threatened nearly 90 million people along the u.s. east coast today. the powerful system killed three people in virginia after killing three others in the gulf state overnight. officials say at least seven tornadoes struck louisiana and mississippi, and left thousands without power. drone video captured the destruction in pensacola, florida, where more than 70 homes were damaged. meanwhile, a major snowstorm blasted parts of the midwest today, canceling more than 1,000 flights to and from chicago. stanford university has announced the world's largest fully-endowed scholarship program. nike co-founder phil knight is donating $400 million to an endowment that's expected to reach $750 million. it will fund 100 full scholarships each year for master's and doctorate degrees. candidat

this comes as its president is in washington to meet with it will go to reinforce an aid public called plan colombia, what president obama dubbed "peace colombia "to cement a peace deal spearheaded by the colombian president. juan manuel santos came to the white house this afternoon at a critical moment in his nation's history: the potential end to latin america's longest-running war. the fight between the colombian government and the leftist farc- - the "revolutionary armed forces of colombia"-- has lasted more than 50 years, killed more than 220,000 people, and displaced millions. but after three failed attempts at peace accords, and four years of talks, a deal may be within sight. so far, negotiations hosted in cuba have yielded agreements on land reform, prisoner releases, and efforts to find missing persons. ivan marquez is lead negotiator for the farc. >> ( translated ): this peace process has progressed like no other in colombia. it should not have the armed confrontation as a backdrop, nor the sad death of young uniformed soldiers, policemen and guerrillas. only in an atmospher

we have been listening at the washington establish meant to chip away at things, you need a revolution. you can't have a clearer contrast in styles and approach other than that. you get to pick which you want but you do get a choice in the democratic primary. new hampshire was friendly territory for bernie sanders. that hasn't changed. i think people are playing hard in new hampshire because they want to reduce the margin of victory for bernie sanders in that state and if they do that the narrative will be she did better than we thought, on to friendlier country for clintons in the south and nevada and that's a new ball game, so i think they're trying to shape it in a way to make it better for people who want to vote for hillary clinton in the end. >> rose: what's the new populous. >> bernie's obviously burst on the national scene in the last few months, but i think you have to go back a bit to see where he comes from. i think there is been a populous movement growing for about a decade, starting with the anti-war movement in 2003 and 2004, then after the financial crash, the occupy wa

joining us are susan page, washington bureau chief for "usa today." and reid wilson, chief political correspondent for the politics and polling website "morning consult." >> let's start with the republicans first. how meaning with was trump's win? >> pretty meaningful. he won among nontraditional republican voters, independents who voted in the republican primary, people voting in a republican primary for the first time, so he is clearly drawing new people into the republican coalition and that raise as possibility at the he will change what it means to be a republican. >> sreenivasan: what about kasich coming in second? >> kasich essentially saved off the end of his campaign. the problem going forward is he's likely to be living hand to mouth for the rest of his campaign. he spent the rest of his war chest in new hampshire because it was do or die there. now that he raises money in the wake of a surprisingly good showing, the first time we can say 16% is a surprisingly good showing, he'll essentially be spending every dollar he can on television ads

rise limited to two degrees celsius, and even under that scenario as this animation shows, cities like washington, d.c. and its well-known landmarks could look very different one day, albeit several hundred years in the future. one study estimated that sea rise could be as much as four feet higher by the end of this century under more dire scenarios. benjamin strauss is with climate central, a research organization that worked on some of this. benjamin, when you see your graphs at the very end, there's this almost hockey stick effect, what is it that caused that acceleration of sea level rise? >> the sea level is extremely sensitive to global temperature, and by burning fossil fuels and putting carbon in the atmosphere, we've heated up the planet a great deal over the last century. >> sreenivasan: how do we know in these models, how do you build these models to figure out what sea level rise was like going back 2,000 years. there wasn't somebody with a stick saying here it is at 2.5 feet, here it is at 3. >> that's true. there was a lot of detective work involved. scientific teams around the worl
