and between the two of them and john rogers, the founder of ariel, i was triple-teamed.nd ultimately i said, any school where people will be this fanatical about the school and having someone go there must be a really great place. so, against my mother's wishes, i chose princeton. david: and you never regretted it, right? mellody: i loved princeton. princetonians are hard-core, we bleed orange and black. david: so you graduated in what year? mellody: 1991. david: and then you decided to go back to chicago. i would assume you could have gotten a job in new york or the east coast, but you went to your hometown, chicago. it was a small firm? mellody: it was tiny. maybe $1 billion in assets at the time. and i did interview on wall street. one day after making a lot of trips into new york on the train to do the interview, one day i called john rogers, he then had the title of president, and i said, i want to come to ariel because i could see what i could learn working with him up close versus the layers down i would be in some of the other firms. i think he was surprised by t

greg walden, paul henry, mike ro rogers, john lewis, mike castle, dave camp, nancy johnson, don young were among the best. i worked on things with michigan, especially with debbie dingell. we have hit the road to push for civility. hopefully civility versus discord can rule and not rue the day. mario, josh, brian fitzpatrick, tom cole, kildee, katko, schrader, dean phillips, peter meyer, and my friend, steny, cut the mustard, too. i have been blessed to have hardworking staff all these years. yes, two of them, including my chief of staff, joan, have been on my team 36 years with another handful between 15 and 30 years. our district team has worked on so many different casework issues in the tens of thousands. throughout the covid nightmare we worked with our local bankers to save dozens of businesses with p.p.p. and we helped our frontline workers who are still so stressed today. even the best stories has a last chapter. this is it for me. i've done the zillions of airline miles back and forth. i've signed over a million letters, cast more votes while in the chamber here and accomplis

john rogers, of northwestern university, helped develop the system. he and his team want to make long distance touch possible. well, we've tried to do who is to develop technologies that are compatible with the human body. soft, flexible on skin interface platforms that you can almost think of as a, as like a 2nd skin. they can laminate on to different parts of the body that might be of interest for it. they connect the artificial skin wirelessly to the computer. when the screen has touched, the small integrated electronic elementary act they convert the electrical currents into pressure and vibrations. but the artificial skin cannot simulate gentle touching. but it is a step in the right direction that i think replicates the kind of touch that conservatism. yo, a deeply sort of emotional and personal connection with, with other other people. so. so we think about it, you know, in terms of you're adding to the social media experience that maybe we're engaging in right now, which is currently dominated only by visual and auditory cues. if you were wear

rogers trying to be john wayne. mti trying to get the blood stream more .1 the best weeds od all times is like the bestgo restaurant in the hospital i realize, somebody a couple months ago wrote if mr. rogers endures goodwin had a one night stand i would have resulted. sciences that's a good thing. the interesting thing president bush senior is not the most reflective guy. verbally english was not his strong suit. he wants is late in the 88 campaign it's no exaggeration to say the undecided to go one way or the other. [laughter] thank you, mr. president for that. but what he did do i think walter had this experience, john only writes about deadly natural disasters. i am with dave and i want to know what you are writing about next, is there a flood coming? the author of the book of exodus john berry. by spending time with him, i was then able to imagine if we go back to the oval office, to various moments and have a better sense off what it was actually like and that roomo because i knew it he was like they. >> to tel

but luckily we had people like john mccain, roger wicker, a ben kardon, who was our leader in the senate, a bipartisan group of senators and congress, people who said, you know what, we're going to do something he will do something meaningful. and we did. but this would not have happened without bill broader and bringing the store attention. and i just want to say for the record that he's one of the most courageous people that i have ever met, denied, admiring his tenacity, and not keeping up and understanding that the, that survey magnet skis. a legacy is going to be that where he's with it, we are holding human rights abusers and corrupt officials in russia and around the world accountable for their actions while thank you congressman jim mcgovern as well. we know you have to run, so we'd like to thank you for this time with us today. we're going to continue the conversation now with bill. ah, thank. well, right now, i bill i would, i, you know, argue that on vladimir putin's dashboard or maybe his dart board, there are 2 faces. there's bill browder and there is a president's a landsca

rogers trying to be john wayne. [laughter] and i'm trying to get this in the bloodstream horn one of the best tweets of all time was like the best restaurant in the i realized that. [laughter] somebody so he wrote that if mrd a one night stand, i would have resulted. [laughter] as it is a a good thing then dos is a little tricky smacking the interesting thing about dead or alive is that you know, david was incredibly close to bush's but wishing it was not the most reflective guy verbally. but the plea but he had a hard time in english is not a strong suit hand and was headed late the 88 campaign, the undecided could go one way or another is what he said. [laughter] thank you mr. present for that. [laughter] but what he did do i think walter had this experience about donnelly write about deadly natural disasters so there's blood coming on the next thing to write about, the book of exodus, john barry, that is that g i was able my spinning time wh him, i was unable to imagine as we go back in, to the oval office into t

rogers trying to be john wayne and i'm absolutely i'm trying to get this in the bloodstream more one of the best tweets of all time, which is like the best restaurant in a hospital i realized but somebody a couple months ago wrote that if mr. rogers and doris goodwin had a one-night stand i would have resulted. so i insist that that's a good thing doris is a little of tricky the thing about the interesting thing about versus alive is as you know, david was incredibly close to the bushes. president bush senior was not the most reflective guy verbally. thought deeply while that but he had a hard time, you know, english was not his strong suit, and he once said late in the 88 campaign, it's no exaggeration to say the undeciders could go one way or the other. thank you, mr. president for that but what it did do and i think walter's probably had this experience. john only writes about deadly natural disaster. so so i really i'm with david. i want to know what you're writing about next. it is a flood coming. demographer of the book of exodus john barry is i was able by spending time with h

let's welcome historian john meacham, rogers chair in the american presidency at vanderbilt university lead by saying president biden. it's been a while, john. great to see you. what does the kevin mccarthy situation tell us about the state of the republican party? >> all too much, i'm afraid. i have never run for office, so i offer this from the sidelines, but at a certain point you have to decide why you are in this business? why are you in the arena? why he seeking the votes of the people in order to take an oath to defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic? at a certain point, if it is just about the getting of votes and the amassing of power and the remaining in place, than it enables, even encourages, the kind of behavior we saw this week because of jonathan martin and alex burns's book. the hearing down in georgia with marjorie taylor greene... you saw with mccarthy in green, the wages of power being the central motivator as opposed to the principle and attempted service. that sound self righteous. i apologize for that. i don't mean it to be. i do think i

john quincy adams had loftier ambitions but he had a nominee postponed indefinitely euphemism. andrew jackson had a nominee within a change in the midterm election and the change in the center proposition and allowed rogertommy to be confirmed. john tyler how many remember john tyler. an accident of history he was called his accident c. he assumed and was put on the ticket to valentina no basis of either party but william harrison died after month catching ammonia at the blizzard in march and john tyler made nominations several times for the same person before having one person confirmed. most 1970 presidents had trouble. then after he was rejected douglas withdrew for smoking marijuana with his law students. i called ginsberg the last public casualty of the drug war. what the career has suffered for revelations of drug use in the last 35 years. then of course merrick garland the first nomination that the senate allowed to expire since 1881. the last time the senate controlled by the party office of the president confirm someone to a vacancy that arose during the presidential election year was 1888 previous not statistically sort of thing to discuss. as mcconnell is gamble no hearings no vote worked. no

john heilemann is back with us at the table. admiral rogersians and the russians of sinking that russian flagship. tell me how that happened, and the fact that the russians went and blew up the munitions factory that makes the neptune bombs seems to confirm the ukrainian account that it was indeed the ukrainian neptune strike that sunk the ship. >> so, i think first, the loss of "moskva" is much more about perception and image than something that is going to have significant tactical military effect, the loss of one ship. i mean, she was an old ship, commissioned in 1983. in fact, they had decommissioned here in the early 2000s, then brought her back to be the flagship of the black sea. united states navy, for example, has no similar surface combatants from that age, 1983, that are still in commission. i think the loss goes to highlight, and the image thing, i think, is important. the same kind of operational military inability that we have seen on the ground, the lack of, you know, tactical military excellence, now to see that occur again in

more for spain and italy done, for instance, france rogers or sometimes difficult sometimes very strong relations. but julia has come back on dear john, looks from an e. u point a few. like if i may be a little bit ironic out, people are looking on the map and say, well, we don't want to have for gas for russia, so let us look for gas and where and you rehab it, north africa. so a cheerier has gained some extra duty and everybody speaking a jury on once again. but let us also bear in mind, cheery has all its production limits. it's. it's a country that as an oil producing member country of optic is, is facing it's cheaper logical limits. i have, i've no insight in its current potential as the gas produce and gas ex border. but i know that it has been facing the limits in particular, when it came to toy production on with the last years half the latest on the conflict in ukraine. russia's defense ministry that is forces. how destroyed a ukrainian coach. could you ballistic missile launcher? why have they used to target residential areas in the ukrainian city of kirsten? on thursday, several missiles were apparently find at the t, the

welcomed reed to his homeland and thanked roger carstonian for his help in the negotiations on the exchange. special envoy of the us president for prison affairs and johnlivan, ambassador of the united states to russia, the negotiations that allowed us to return trevor home required difficult decisions that are not easy for me in the united states . russian businessman viktor bout is currently serving a 25-year sentence in prison in russia on charges of espionage . american half-ilon and potentially news about the exchange. reeds. on yaroshenko may give hope for possible similar exchanges in the future. however, as reported on condition of anonymity. one of the high-ranking american officials was accused as a result of long and very difficult negotiations. the last word, in which the president of the united states had this quote, it was a difficult decision for president president biden, decided to return home an american whose health began to cause serious concern and , according to the same official, the exchange that took place in no way reflects any . expansion and improvement of diplomatic relations with russia on the website of the us federal bur

parents many times, i want to thank the special presidential envoy for hostage affairs, roger carson's and abbasid or john sullivan, a good friend of mine, who were critical -- ambassador john sullivan, a good friend of mine, who were critical in securing him his freedom. his parents are grateful. we thank you and your team for that. we are currently witnessing the largest invasion in europe since world war ii. my father's war. as you know, the brutality is shocking. we just past a war crimes bill, the chairman and i, on the floor, bipartisan, calling these out for what they are and holding mr. putin accountable as a war criminal. but the images of corpses littering the streets after bucha, hands tied behind their backs, bullets in their being brought into cover up the mounting body count and the evidence. pregnant women covered in blood being carried out of a recently bombed maternity hospital. tragically, she and her baby did not survive. these are putin's war crimes. he must be held accountable. he fancies himself reclaiming the glory of the russian empire, but this will be the legacy of a war criminal

. >> gillian: steve rogers, thank you very much. appreciate it. >> johnhere all of this took place, the relation that one has to another. forgive me if i don't draw exactly accurately on the screen, we are doing this by free hand. but the n train, which is the subway that he was on start here in coney island, up like that and this, and then jogs over, crosses the manhattan bridge, and then the broadway line, cuts to queens and then up to laguardia airport. the same train that runs along the line is the n train, up from bay ridge, meets up here but instead cuts over, goes at a lower manhattan and they meet back up in canal street. now, the kings highway station which is near where that u-haul van was found is right about there in brooklyn. that is also where apparently these images were taken that show frank james allegedly entering the subway station. the 59th street station, which is where these lines link up, is right about in here. and then between 59th and 34th street station, right about there, 36th street station, sorry, 36th street station where th

ok, john, if you agree with what's being said from just now and also, you know, we've seen much of the anger recently expressed in terms of protest and such directed at the roger pox. a family courses who's been in power for, for decades. so the criticism is that the government failed to take basic steps and there were warning signs. is that something that you agree with? if i'd like to add to further points to what i said. and the 1st is that, as i said, we were living beyond down means, you know, we thought we had a war in our country for 3 decades. and a lot of money was invested in the wall. there was a lot of destruction also that took place. but did not really suffer a reduction in our living standards. so i maybe we didn't develop as fast as the countries did. but we also are living standards did not drop the also rules. and how did the right, because we took the going, we took these lawyers 1st from institutional lenders, then from the private sector, the commission lenders, and we live beyond that means that's one thing that we need to keep in mind. the 2nd thing is that the people are really, i mean, they're really but the, focusing on what the roger

legal world, the john eastman world, these people were all working together to overturn the election, and that raises real legal questions. if you're in the middle the way bannon and roger stone was, you really don't want to be answering all the questions. ivanka trump can testify to her father's dereliction of duty on january 6th, probably was not as much part of this, truly more serious part of it, the two-month attempt to overturn the election of the president of the united states. >> it's very interesting what you say there, bill. i made a point of saying i can't claim to know what's inside bannon's mind and his reason but you say the evidence suggests the reason is culpability, guilt in the actual activity of this, which is why he and navarro might reach for anything including thin claims of privilege, how privileged is it if donald trump won't dash off an email or have someone else do it for him, yeah, i claim privilege. he hasn't done that as with congressman schiff last week. you make interesting points, bill, and that really goes to what they thought they could pull off. so i'm going to do a follow-up to bill and then bring emily in. just on the goals, let's re

american john hindered al jazeera millions of people in lanka, celebrating the new year as public anger grows against a failing economy. thousands of staging fits in outside president goes to bio roger puck, says office demanding his resignation. shank has been suffering from the sources or food fuel and electricity, which is lead to weeks approaches. vanelle fernandez, have more protest as that ah, sort of crowded around the presidential secretariat complex are not moving. i mean, many of them have sort of dug in here for days and days and said they are here for the long haul. they will only look back once a present. good toby, roger pox and his government stepped down now the singular timeout, traditional new year on the 13th and 14th of april, livia is a big thing yet in alaska. but the protest as and those coming here to these protests ground don't seem to be missing anything. in fact, we saw quite a few people in that new year best, you know, dressed up to the nines, but still here under these scorching skies coming. some of them holding national flag, some of them holding post as a wanting to be part of this. 6 movement essentially, that is calling for a go tabi, roger pox and

john sullivan and the moscow embassy staff for believing in trevor's innocence and their zealous advocacy. similarly, we would like to thank nsa's jake sullivan, alexander miller, and victoria bonacerra. in particular, we want to thank roger gillom and others. we can't say enough about the importance of the work they do every day for hostages and wrongfully detainees. we would like to thank our congressman, congressman mccall, leader mccarthy, congressman castro, and so many others who worked together in bipartisan member to bring trevor home. finally we stand proudly with the weiland family and the other families of wrongfully detained americans still waiting for their own release moment. we will continue to advocate for the rapid release of hostages and detainees using all tools available to the united states government. again, i'm reading that statement for the very first time, seeing it along with all of you. the reed family thanking leaders of both parties, especially president biden for the release of their son. let's go to cnn chief international correspondent jim sciutto in ukraine. jim, this has got to be such a relief for the reed family. >> no question. listen, start with the family, right, here is someone who
