This News Conference is 35 minutes. Good morning everybody. Thank you for joining us. Today, were going to be making an announcement about an important change to our National Delivery schedule. I think anyone who has followed the Postal Service over the past couple of years know that we have been consistently making changes to our delivery schedule. It is an important part of our strategy returning back to Financial Stability and it is absolutely necessary to make that move. Before i get into the details of the announcement, i would like to spend a couple of minutes discussing the financial reasons for this scheduled delivery change. Since 2008, we have seen a steady decline in the use of first class mail. It is our most profitable product and generates the most revenue. People pay their bills online, simple, easy and free. On the other hand, people do still like to receive hard copy statements and bills and the fact that businesses continue to send mail to the homes and thats been pre
T tv announcer this is the bill press show. Bill hey, its 26 minutes after the hour here on this Tuesday Morning. I was just thinking, what if december 7 1941, right when Franklin Roosevelt announced to the nation that the japanese had attacked us at pearl harbor, i wonder if the Republican Party said i dont know. Is he really telling the truth here. Did they really attack us and why did they attack us . You dont ask those kind of questions. You fight back. In this case, mitt romney leading the Republican Party decided to make it all political and thanks to fox news, theyre still trying to make it all political.

Last, youre sensing a theme here. One thing that is known, the president s legal team is up against a deadline. They have until noon today to file a legal brief outlining their case defending President Trump. Next hour is also a deadline for the house to respond to the president s legal team. While they make their case on the senate floor starting tomorrow, we have a preview of the legal strategy of both sides. The president s legal team saying this about the two articles of impeachment passed by the house, quote, this is a brazen and unlawful attempt to overturn the results of the 2016 election and interfere with the 2020 election now months away. Predictably the house managers had a much different take, saying this in part of their very lengthy legal brief, President Trumps conduct is the framers worst nightmare. Lets go to washington, cnn congressional reporter lauren fox is standing by as well as sarah westwood. Youre learning more about the president s legal strategy, the team, th
Intention of fulfilling. The president scheduled to do his budget the week of april 8. The senate going to meet with House Republicans today. Give us the nature of these meetings and what will happen. Today is the second of four trips up to capitol hill for president obama. Its part of this consensus where hes trying to win over congressional support for a grand budget bargain. This has been an effort that was kind of served by failing to avert the squeft a couple of weeks ago. Hes got almost the opposite challenge of what he did yesterday when he met with Senate Democrats, when he was meeting with Senate Democrats yesterday they were pressing him on his kind of willingness to accept Social Security cuts and changes to medicare, entitlement programs. Democrats are very much in opposition to that. Today hes going to go face House Republicans who as we know are very much in opposition to any increase in tax revenue. And so while yesterday he was kind of trying to win over democrats for a
