If you want to make your thoughts on twitter, you can do so. , post on theok facebook page. Just to show you more of the tweet that came out yesterday. Again, this was sent by the president on twitter yesterday. From the days when he was in the World Wrestling federation. , theerson he is attacking cnn logo over his face. Again, this was sent out yesterday. Much reaction from democrats, republicans and journalists, commenting on the tweet. T it says about the person what it says about the message the president has towards the media. It provoked a response from cnn hours after say eech when he posted it is a sad day when the president of the United States encourages violence against reporters. Instead of preparing for his first overseas trip, his first meeting with putin, it dealing with north korea and working on bill, he isare instead involved in juvenile politics. He should do his job and we will ours. 202 7488000, democrats. 202 7488001, republicans. 202 7488002, independent callers. Tom bonser, the White House Security advisor was on abc this week when the tweet came up and he was asked about it and message toward cnn. Here is his response. My first reaction would the the same as any. There are channels that are not finish the president. I am proud that the president has created a social media platform where he can talk to the people. He is the most nonpolitician president have seen in our lifetime and he is demonstrated that whatever the content is of a tweet, a genuine ability to communicate with people. He can communicate with the people. But is this the kind of munication you want . That he is beating up on somebody . You are in charge of Homeland Security. That seems like a threat . Asked i think no one would perceive that as a threat. I think he is beaten up in a way on cable platform so he has a right to respond. Dont think that is a threat to anyone . You dont think that is a message to say do that to the media . I dont. He is a genuine president who is expressing himself. He is the most genuine person and the people who see politicians and then him find him to be someone they can understand and relate to. I have to stay on this. Recently, the president has never promoted violence, he just push backs by defending himself but you know what happened to congressmans caprice and you have messages out there against the media. Making it about us, particularly about cnn. Some people had to get private security guards. Is that fair . The most important part of my message is just that he is genuine, is that he is found in way of communicating directly with the people. And understand that. Im talking about the message. Not how he communicates. Is a good example of you deciding what we do or dont talk about. Way aespect, that is thinking to go around to. To speak about what he cares about that day. And occasionally he cares to speak about media programs. Respect, we do talk let other issues but when this comes up it distracts from what we want to talk about. You are a very substantial or person. I know we will talk about other things. Host that question of the response for tom bosnia, the Homeland Security advisor. Other people responded to it as well. ,gain, 202 7488000 democrats. 202 7488001, republicans. , independent2 callers. Journalists, we have a line for you. 202 7488003. Louisiana,s a first, independent line. Go ahead. Caller thank you, we love you here in louisiana. I watch you all the time. Look. I am an independent. I was a democrat. I supported trump. And these journalists have been beating up on trump. And he is tired of it. And he is taking a stand. Said, i wouldnt do it. Know. Is just you your wife is a tax your children are attacked. You have madonna saying she will earn down the white house. You have johnny depp saying he would kill him. You know, what is the man going to do . Mika saidat joe and about him and it is horrible. Host do think this tweet most violence . No, sir. I think it was a joke. It is a joke. He is getting attacked. He has had a chance to do anything with the marches and the protests. And Trump Supporters always get attacked. I have gotten death threats. The police have done nothing for me. I can understand why the man is. Host it was ed mcmahon that was in the video with trump from his wrestlinge World Federation days. With the cnn logo. That is making a lot of news is morning as we go to paul on the democrats line. i think it is the caller i think it is the most unpresident ial thing ive ever seen. He is a coward. Whoill probably talk to jennifer how to set up a state llcrapia so he can bu his way through the white house. It is unbelievable that people are supporting that. Host what you think of the message . Aller that he doesnt want free press. He did wants us to be a communist country. He lies constantly. Outthe free press brings his lies but he doesnt like that because he is a serial liar. And all the people who support him watch fox news which is a line channel. Thats the only channel tells the truth. And it is bothersome. Host , ok, lets go to teresa on the republican line. Good morning. Caller first of all, i dont even know where to begin. It was a joke. Has been hit since before he was even elected. Not one of his tweets has ever outed a republican to go and shoot a bunch of democrats like the media has. Democratic hollywood everything trump does oh, he should be impeached. They hit him. And it is about time he did something. Up and we support it. He isnt doing anything outrageous or outlandish. And they say doing this and set of worrying about who take for the health care bill, but he andt chew gum and walk defend himself at the same time. Host said to you, this was more about the president fighting back against the media. Not a promotion of violence . Aller absolutely not trump has never promoted violence. Only violence being perpetrated is from the democratic party. The liberal media. Activists. Trump supporters are the industry. Hollywood promotes videos of killing trump. In georgia, they called for the beheading. It has gone too far. Saytay silent and we nothing as luckily, we do have a president that talks to us. And we have somebody on our side because nobody else is, other than the president. Host when it has gone too far, do you apply that to the president himself about putting out the tweets . Caller absolutely not. It is time to say something. Kathy griffinhy has not interested. The fence jumper that chumps defense at the white house was arrested. But liberals can make accusations and suggest killing trump but nothing is done. Host ok, ok. Lets hear from gary. On the independent line. Haver yes, we all selfserving biases. Attributetendency to successes to our own internal characteristics. And we like to blame our failures on outside forces. And we also like to congregate and hang around with people who agree with our own beliefs. Withnless we come to terms these biases on a psychological level, we continue to have these childish controversies. We liketo realize, friends who agree with us. We seek these people out. We dont look for other peoples opinions. Or putting ourselves in other peoples shoes. Host how does that apply to the tweet . Tweet he is a man who got where he is at i fighting. And if you want to call it eating a bully call it whatever you want. He got successful being a certain way. That wes a world leader i dont even know what the truth is anymore. To go at theind us world to make america a better way. And we havent really allowed this to happen in yet. We havent allowed the Voting System to work the way it is supposed to work. We are fighting it like it doesnt even matter. Host ok, stephanie on the democrats line. Caller and is just calling to say that i think the media should stop falling for all of these distractions. That i think trump is intentionally President Trump he is intentionally stirring this up. There are more things going on and happening. And i turn on the different news programs and only hear about is this ridiculous, immature conversation or tweet that is going on. It boggles my mind. And i agree 100 with the caller behind me the caller before may about the selfserving biases. Because i think we tend to gravitate towards the folks who agree with us. We read the news and watch the programs that promote what we already think and believe. Host before you go, the president has called twitter a system of the modernday resident c. The tweetster that come from the president . Caller it would be different if he were tweeting policy or something that was related to what is going on with americans or in the world. With the environment or something that but his tweets are all ridiculous and are nonsense. That was stephanie in georgia. Again, were talking about the tweet that you have probably already seen on other networks. This is from his World Wrestling federation days. Tweet. Stling cnn in that cnn did call up concerns about violence over this. 202 7488000, democrats. 202 7488001, republicans. 202 7488002, independent callers. A02 7488003, if you are journalist. The previous caller mentioned the president s twitter use. Usa today has a look at tweets that were sent since november the eighth and the subject and content. 63 tweetsent has sent of that nature. 46 against obamacare. 41 for taxes. Fake news. Bout other tweets are veterans, holding a wall, all related issues and nafta. Again, these are just tweets since november 8. Connie on the republican line. Hello. Caller thank you for taking my call. Ill, i am laughing because think President Trump is doing a great humor. 247 coverage of negativity. He has to break it. He is not a punching bag. He is our president. And he is a fighter. I love it. I am laughing here. People have to have a sense of humor. I love President Trump. Are fighting for america and the American People. And. Of the agendal will materialize and all of the career politicians will get together behind him and support his efforts and streamline the throw over the theaucratic system and swamp in washington. Host when it comes to the twitter use, cnn had a story about the statement. Saying it considers three factors. Political context, the ways it could be interpreted and the lack of details. Twitter may suspend an account for a number of reasons, including if the user makes violent threats, attacks people based on race, religion, gender or more or engages in the rgeted abuse of harassment targeted abuse or harassment of others. It has received nearly 100,000 comments. It appears that this has rallied Trump Supporters. Cnn fake and news. Others posted violent images. The context of the story, if you go to the headline, it says that the tweet that got sent out didnt violate the rules. Minnesota on the independent line. Caller hello. That i like the media. I trust the media. As far as this tweet is concerned, i think it is something as you can hear from my accident, i am from europe. And that couldnt be done in europe. Paris i have been in contact with my friends in paris he is going to have a slip of the tongue. Because he cannot hold back. He has to say as he feels. That is fine but it doesnt help our country. Is reckless and i do not think those things as far now activatingdy it is a debate of trump. Also has rallied others. He perhaps that is what wants to do. I dont know. And the people that callin, it is incredible television. I am a cancer patient advocate. I write in on International Platforms and i have been able to compare Health Insurance is. Thei can only say that , itth insurance in europe is downplayed year and it is called socialistic. But they are not socialistic. Host i dont want to cut you off but i want to stay on the topic that we are on. Lets go to borate, the democrat line. I must say, i like cspan. You give an opportunity to express themselves. Personally i am not with anything with trump. I have been watching him through the primaries and the campaign. Everything he has done has been to vilify employment. And i cant, for the life of me, understand how the Republican Party can fall behind this guy. All those candidates except for will end up you with him. And this is the example. He vilifies the media and they are the only ones telling us the truth. All of his tweets are full of lies and never addresses were i try to get the wide spectrum of information. I even going conservative website. When i expressed my opinion to these people, you would be amazed at the weill and Disgusting Things that are said to me. Just because you disagree. Cannot disagree with trump. Youre if you do, labeled as a discussed in and all kinds of nastiness. I am really disgusted with this man. Andas a good friend of joe mika, he would callin but then they came up with the tape on him grabbing women and that was too much for them. They said something, all of a sudden they werent saying anything nice. He needs adoration. Which is a sickness. Host ok. That was wrong. You mentioned republicans in his phone conversations and. Was on cnn this today. Asking about the tweets that trumps friend out. sre is representative zelda response. I would say there is a better message to be sending right now, through various tools. I understand why he is focused on getting others to be up to up their game but use your effective tools as best as possible to get your legislative agenda across. You are the leader of the world. I want you to set pulses of the kim k. And if people to say, when i get older, i want to be the president of the United States. Your help to a higher standard and embrace the privilege. Thanks the most of this. I would say this isnt just about the president. This is about many of us being a will to do more. For my daughters, if they wanted to be journalists when they got older, to emulate the cnn anchor who earns an emmy award by being forces ith special here the emmy awards and that is journalism. Host that was a republican commenting yesterday. Nancy pelosi said that a cashnce and violence in freedom of the press guardians in our democracy. We heard from a democrat from california. Mockthe president posting fights where will the downward spiral take us . Texas, saying that the president s tweets is not a joke. And he must be held to a higher standard and he needs to resign. David is up next from flint, michigan on the republican line. Thank you for calling. What do you think . Caller good morning to you. There used to be a time when there was something called lampooning and satirical humor. Im not making light of the video but i think that people are taking this way too seriously. Im not going to get into too much detail here and i will be quick i just wanted to say that there used to be a time when we could see things like that on tv and we wouldnt look twice at. Host so you dont see this as violence, this is more of a joke . Caller lampooning, a joke. Yes, i do. Beingow, the oldschool, i dont see this as violence against the media. Host ok. We go to the democrat line in washington. Caller hello. So this is what this nation has come to . Listening to this gentleman who just left calling this lampooning . A joke . There is no joke about this. There is no joke about this. Seriously. Before was also talking about him fighting for the American People. But who is he fighting against . The people who are antiamericans . He is fighting for the American People . Decent,trump dragging christlike americans through the swamp. For christian ladies i use use that for everything . Slate he had to come back and apologize and didnt realize what he was doing. It doesnt matter what trump does. It is all fine and it is good and they can never have a bad pinningause trump is americans against americans. And he gets away with it. So who are the other side . That the fight against . Host ok. The tweet responded to specific responses to cnn. Jim costa said that the response news. We are real this scares me, please stop. Lets go to missouri with steve up next. Caller thank you for letting me say my knees. I will say it letting me say my piece. I will say it quick. We have the most corrupt government we have had in our history. Since the civil war. Number two, fox news is rain washed. Brainwashed. Lying andave them slamming democrats but they are the ones that are bringing on fake news. My heart bleeds for donald trump. He has spurred this up. Mostly right. They are not perfect. G 20hen he goes to the summit, who will be side with . Our allies or putin . People have to stand up against racism and sexism because our country cant stand no more. Host ok. We go to the republican line with linda. Caller good morning, thank you for taking my call. I am calling. Tweet. Like the i wish our president didnt we. I kill justified in my vote. I think the press is very negative. I cant understand how cspan didnt show the whole program yesterday and they didnt even speaker introduction of trump. Host lets go back to the topic at hand. What was your reaction when you first saw it . Caller i was disappointed. But. Thatjust as disappointed you are showing it and you mention violence every time a meant forit wasnt violence. Host what leads you to believe that . Caller because. Back, they callers said it was lampooning. But cnn admitted. The reporter resigned. That wasnt a lie. Host ok. Lets go to donnie on the democrat line. Are you talking to me . I dont like him. I think he is an idiot. He is stupid. He is a chuck. He is a jerk. For him to attach the cnn logo the logo should be attacking him. I wish we could impeach him. Host as far as the tweet itself you are against what was put out there . Caller it just shows trump, how ignorant he is. He is the dumbest i have ever seen in my life. He is no good. It is time that the republicans get their eyes open. But theyre afraid so they wont say anything to him. They need somebody to stand up to him. Bully. Othing but a big host if you go to the website townhall. Is someone who writes about the president streets about the president s tweets. He said, here is how you care about it. Stop caring about them. Here is an idea. Dont Pay Attention to them. t emasculate the guy who yes, i get it. Aesthetically pleasing to your delicate sensibilities. Do you think this is news to us . Get over it. And yourselves. Want to go to the town hall website, you could read that for yourself. We go to michigan on the independent line. Did you think about the tweet that was put out . Training myself to turn all of this off. I think theres something to stoptely going on people from knowing what to focus on. I think people is more focused anybody else. N i talked to my family, i said we are going to stay close. Everybody check on each other. We dont know what is going to happen here. This is the making of a dictator. It is fascinating how this man has been able to accomplish so much financially. And i think that is what his plan is. He uses people emotionally. A lot of people think he has here to bring all of these jobs. Host do you get all of that tweet he sent out . He is i think that afraid of the media. He is afraid of them. Because they are going to get to the truth. They know how to get to the answer. Cnn, i thinkple on they took it too far. Backtrack which is why they got themselves in hot water. But look at men like yourself. You have been to college. You have studied english, writing, taking up a language. This isnt an easy job. People might think it is easy to set up in front of people but you have to know how to communicate. You travel and meet people from around the world. Your job is not fake. And what he is doing he is certaino appeal to individuals in this country to save dont believe what theyre saying. But this is the same thing that has happened in russia. But the people there are slowly rising. He needs help. I pray god protects us and looks over the country. Because anybody because any belittles the cia and fbi and our special units, we have no nation. Int that was surely michigan. Giving her thoughts on the tweet that was sent out. The New York Times taking a look at the angle of the press writing the likely reaction will be that mainstream journalists think they are above reproach, which is nonsense. Bureau takesws action, like cnn did when it retracted an article about the russian investigation, saying the article had not received the proper vetting. Three people lost their jobs. This was a powerful reminder to journalists everywhere to take the extra time to get it right. Quality and accuracy remaining intact. The stakes are higher now. As the antipress sentiment calls into action against journalism itself. From baltimore, here is judy. Caller good morning. I am still trying to figure out the people who call in and say, i dont understand. Those people understood who they called in and voted for the president of the United States. The tweet he put out he doesnt see this is a horrible thing. He doesnt mean any harm. It is just who he is. He is not going to change. Everybody who voted for him, this is what you get. He probably right now isnt allowed to have certain interns around him in the white house because he is going to do something or say some way to one of them. And the people who love him so much would blame an intern. Because maybe her dress was too short host lets go back to the common. What is the best way, Going Forward . Should people ignore the comments and the tweets . Aller everybody should take vote and go to congress and tell them to take his twitter away from him. Because he is going to get the United States in trouble. I am 62 years old. My father told me when i was listening to him one day he said it would be a white man with white hair who was going into the white house who is going to bring the United States to its knees. Nie on thes go to an republican line from texas. Caller i want to remind everyone. It seems like everybody has forgotten that cnn is the one sponsored shakespeare in the park. Where was the outrage then . Other thing about msnbc . I have actually blocked them from my tv. I would watch them every morning and every night until they saying he needs psychiatric help. All the namecalling against the president. Thise are so outraged at tweet. Yes, the man has a weird sense of humor and yes, he will punch back. People need to quit the anger stuff. Namecalling. He is crazy and sick and a liar. It goes on. It is nuts. Turn it off and down. Host from twitter is professional wrestling violence or entertainment . He makes an analogy between Entertainment Media and entertainment sport. We go to the independent line. Caller heres the problem with everything on the show today. You just read something from about how this is trump attacking the free press. But that is baloney. The press isnt free. The press is a multibilliondollar industry. Now isu are seeing right the competition with the media. Because of the internet and the cable television. They compete for advertising dollars. In the press, they pick a niche and they go with that. Whatever the demographic and population they appeal to. You could say fox is more conservative. But theyll pick out a status and a bias. Why . To track viewers and advertising dollars. This isnt the free press. This is a big business. Host aside from that, the president s tweet himself. What do you think of that . Caller i think he is just reacting and i dont have any problem with that. People punching back. But he is punching back against against a big business. Host we go to columbia, maryland on the democrat line. Good morning. Caller i think it is awful that people believe in him. And if you notice, before he started campaigning, he was on all of the networks. By the time he started campaigning, he did turn around on the press. I think putin told him that the first thing to do was to get rid of the press. He looks at the media. And he started this whole thing up. Host as far as the tweet itself, that is the message you get . Caller putin is in his ear, telling him to get rid of the media in this country. Host lets go to chris on the republican line. Caller hello. Trump, ok with cnn or then both smearing each other. But if cnn is going to smear somebody, then they should expect that something will come back at them. The whole time they have been smearing big corporate and everything. Ignored what the Federal Reserve has been doing. Is ignoring quality. What about when we had a founding father government and we sat there and never built inequality . We should have stayed in that system and build it up. Host back to the tweet itself. The message it sends, specifically. Caller i think it is not ok for them to smear each other that it is going to happen. Usenk that he should i think he should talk through twitter. Host say you advocate him continuing his twitter . Caller yes, because that is his belief. Host a shutdown of government recently was enacted the weekend, this is from another day wasted. The impact is likely to be felt more widely today with the 39 thousand state workers and the suspension of most services in state courts. Motor Vehicle Commission offices and other state venues. Servicesnonessential and functions halted across the state amid a political impasse over the fiscal year 2018 budget, Chris Christie and the legislatures to Top Democrats hosted competing News Conferences on sunday. Declared sunday wasted. Man at the center of the shutdown was ignored. Chris christie arrived in trenton on sunday this governors official receipt official retreat. You have probably seen that story. The governor and his family were on the beach, taking a photo from a helicopter perspective. More on that story there. We hear next from bob in louisville. Caller thank you for taking my call. I am all for him doing that. He will fight when somebody comes for him. A man fights back. Of him. Proud as hell host what you think this was intended to send . Caller the wrestling bill the wrestling tweet . I thought it was a joke. It was comedy. Host you are probably seeing reactions on twitter. He is fighting back, arent we supposed to do that . Again, make your thoughts on twitter known. You can give a call on the lines over the next 15 minutes or so. Democrats, 202 7488000. Republicans, 202 7488001. Independent callers, 202 7488002. If you are a journalist, 202 7488003. Tomorrow, saying that it will be in boston that police will be deployed by drone to catch of use of the crowd and activities during the fireworks spectacular, which could attract half a Million People along the charles river. New York City Police will not trucks120 sand filled and blocker vehicles near popular spots in manhattan during the macys fireworks shows and other july 4 events and the nypd plans to assign thousands of officers during the event and a checkpoint will be equipped with radiation detectors and bag searches. The democrats line in maryland. Caller good morning. Hethought process is that should never have sent that tweet. Is whatthe news media made him. Going on the morning joe show, almost every morning. I came tomedia the conclusion that something is really wrong with trump. In 1972, the president he told Thomas Egerton to be his running mate. It wasnt revealed until early on. I think he was the nominee for 11 days. ,nd because of his mental state there is something truly wrong with our president. Host we leave it there. We go to the republican line with bob. Hi. Caller i wanted to give you a great example of why i think trump fights the state news. People think that fake news is just things that are being made up but it actually goes deeper than that. And the majority of the news media, basically, they present any story the way they want. An example is npr. Public radio. They take a story and talk about how wonderful Kamala Harris is. The freshman senator who has all the makings and trappings of the up and coming possible president ial candidate. They say how wonderful she is because she speaks her mind and she speaks out. And how bad republicans are for shutting down her speech, like elizabeth warren. The other side of the story could just as well have been written that Kamala Harris speaks out of control and she overrides her person she is questioning. She takes away her date and 80 treats them. She writing the same story, they wouldnt write that she is a wonderful candidate and a wonderful person for the way she is doing her business. That pervasive attitude is going through the media. That is the way i think. Host do you think that warrants the response of the president over this particular tweet . Caller no, i think anybody, i think any reasonable person ask the president is out of control the way he hits back and keeps going. We all want a president who shows dignity but honestly, what else does the man have to do . If pretty much everybody except maybe fox and the wall street journal is attacking him. Host thecan he do . President is preparing to leave for the g 20 first will meet with putin and a tweet today when it comes to other foreignpolicy matters saying yesterday, with the king of saudi arabia, adding that interesting things are happening. He is at a resort in new jersey. Several calls to place over the weekend. We go to david in West Virginia on the independent line. Caller thank you. Trump centcom it isnt fighting against the news media, it is fighting against fake news opinion. Congresspeople on both sides of the swamp, both parties on their to give their opinion. And they take the opinions and they turn them into fake news. That is how that works. That is what he is fighting against. The networks used to give the majority news very little opinion now there is a lot of opinion and very little news. That is what he is fighting against. Host airport is that to come out to take a look at different pictures of how the economy is doing. Usa today reporting on these reports saying that u. S. Construction spending reports out today are expected to rebound in may. A slowdown in residential and nonresidential. They say at the pace of the Construction Spending appears to be fueled by activity. It could show a yeartoyear over year year decline because the industry comes off record highs in 2016. Expects toson quoted see the annualized pace of 16 point 8 Million Units from 16. 6 million in may. Still, tighter consumer car loan lending and higher dealer discount still pose challenges for the industry. Employment continues to be a mixed bag. While the Unemployment Rate remains low, the pace of hiring seems to have slowed. The 80 be report will show an increase of 160,000 in private payrolls in june, slowing from to enter 53,000 a month earlier. Adp is the Human Resources technology firm. Lets go to chicago on the democrat line. Caller good morning cspan. I think this tweet was totally out of bounds. We have to ask ourselves, what do we want from the president . Do we want somebody who will get on tv and spar with the media . I mean, he is basically denying. Ccess the media is therefore a reason. This is a phenomenon, the fake news. It is a big distraction. We have bigger issues. Why are they not addressing the bigger issues . Why is he resorting to fighting and denigrating women . He went so far when he was have aning to distraction where he had a fight ith host lets go to been in arizona on the independent line. Good morning. Caller thank you for giving everybody the opportunity. Lets take trumps word for it that this was just for fun. The funds turn out to then no harm is done. That theuld suggest attorney general brings them up on firstdegree murder charges. That is the reality. Talk theres a lot of leading up to the fourth of july. Looking at the republican governors across the state and how they react on the current version of the Senate Health care bill. Saying that most vocal governors it would phase out the expansion and transport the Safety Net Program into one of the federal government shares would be capped. The bill would cut seven at 72 billion in funding for the program over a decade. In nevada, the senator faces a tough reelection fight next year and appeared with the gop governor at a News Conference recently to say he opposes the health care bill. John kasich from ohio said the opioid addiction measures dont go far enough. Asa hutchinson said he it spoken with the gop senators every day about his concerns with the bill. We go where john is on the republican line. Caller yes. Good morning. They have been picking on his. Amily and his children to thearry truman talk press corps and he said, just a minute and he walked up to a reporter and a reporter said yes, mr. President . And harry truman knocked him on his butt. And he said, you can pick on me that you leave my family alone. Because the reporter was talking about his daughter. And do you know what . We have bigger problems in this country besides the tabloid news. Thated to start working on and the news media is whining about the fact of the matter that Hillary Clinton lost. And now they have to eat some crow. Take one more call from charles in florida on the democrat line. Go ahead. Caller hello. Concerned about the tweet he sent out. With himte that lashing out and i feeling he should apologize to the press. In the same category that what Kathy Griffin did. Showing violence towards him. And he needs to apologize. And stop going to the rightwing press and the tabloids. He is giving them too much credit and is taking away the credit from the real reporters. That is my opinion. Host that was charles. That was the last call on this topic. In the next hour, we take a look at the topic of minimum wage. Several cities and states over the weekend enacted higher minimum wage for workers. Andwe have david cooper veronique de rugy. In the money segment, Kevin Johnson discusses his story about a lack of security s l in prisoners a lack of security personnel in prisons. All of that when washington journal continues. Coming up over the fourth of july holiday on booktv. Tonight, and author discusses his book, talking back, talking if i could make the general viewc have a more positive of the dialect that most black americans use in casual situations. On tuesday at 7 15 a. M. Eastern, author and historian david, with his book, the american spirit. When you get knocked down, you do not lie down and whimper. You continue on. I think
