i am on twitter all day. am not bashing journalists for being on twitter, it is a useful tool. >> [indiscernible] >> i was off it for five months. i go off and on. i think that is where these narratives emerge and i wish that people spent a little more time on youtube and tiktok because i think they would have a better understanding. >> do you hear that? spend more time on tiktok. [laughter] >> there was a great story about how the mainstream media totally missed rarely roots of the recent -- mania that was on tiktok. there is one other twitter related question i wanted to ask about. you tweet things and people ask about them. you and i probably have somewhat different perceptions of -- in ways that make no sense for us to debate for this audience. you tweeted commit don't listen to the blue checked doctors on twitter and shared an article -- who consistently downplay -- consistently downplay long covid or the virus's devastating long-term effects. you shared an article from a magazine -- >> i shared two atla

i am used to all of it but i am not used to the cruelty. they passed it, june 16, they passed the pac act. 84-13. you don't even see these scores anymore. everyone one of these individuals that have been fighting for years standing on the shoulders of vietnam veterans who have been fighting for years, standing on the shoulders of persian gulf war veterans, desert storm veterans just get the health care and benefits that they earned from their service and i don't care if they were fighting for our freedom, i don't care if they were fighting for the flag, i don't care if they were fighting because they wanted to get out of a drug treatment center or it was jail or the army. i don't care. they lived up to their oath. yesterday, they spit on it in abject cruelty. these people thought they could finally breathe. this just means they don't have to decide between their cancer drugs and their house. >> centered him he will not hear that because he will not sit down with this man. because he is a coward. a coward. like i say, i am used to it. this t

i am so grateful for this country. as i am watching fireworks tonight, i am thinking about that. am thinking about what happened in 2020 and why a lot of people were still marveling at that. they didn't just get those right/friday, they have those rights for 49 years. i wish the states had executed those -- had exercise those rights. the supreme court cannot pass law. they can only pass a -- they can only pass an opinion, not a law. the states figured out they had sovereignty. state sovereignty is very important because the states need to step up against the fed and tell them what is what. as we start to want -- as we run -- for 49 years, we have the ability to pass laws state by state. to say they just gave power last friday to the states, remarkably deceptive. we have had the power. host: are you up for taking a couple phone calls? we have been asking viewers this question, are you proud to be an american? william waiting online to respond. elizabethtown, tennessee. caller: yes. i am glad to be an american. i served in the navy in vietnam. and on u.s. is -- u.s. is --. guest: t

i am a proud american.hat would make me more proud is if they prosecute the ones that were responsible for january 6. if they don't, then it's going to happen again and it will be worse. that's what would make me proud, prosecute them, give them 10 plus years in the one at the top, he should get life. host: you are saying the former president of the united states? caller: yes, sir. because he not only committed or attempted to commit bribery, he committed treason in helsinki. everybody forgets that. host: you still with us jack? on january 6, as we reflect on this country in the future of this country, the impact of the securities we saw last month. we are expecting at least two more when congress returns in july. guest: yeah, in terms of what it means to be an american or taking pride in this country, this notion that we sometimes -- that we realize no person is above the law. this is really a test of that. we've seen dramatic testimony in these hearings, presenting really hard evidence that crimes were co

i am a top 10 hated figure in twitter. am i proud of that? i am from philly, you bet i am. how long can this last? it's up to answer, it is moving target. here's what i mean. look at the chart. i came to you and said, i want you to buy some of this, right here. i know you would say, you would say, i hate jim cramer so much, he now comes to me, after this , with an insane rally, now he tells me to buy when it is flat, not a gentle slope? this isn't a stock. this is the chart of the ppi. [ indiscernible ] we were also worried about a, this is a stock, you would not buy it, you would sell it. let's get serious on whether this is the beginning or the end. it will not stay there. i have another one. does this look like it is in an uncontrollable rally phase? this thing is insane. it's going to the moon. i have to get in. this is an absolutely nothing. guess what? look what this chart is. this is oil. when oil was going up every day, everybody was like five dollars? i cannot believe i did that. i am voting for this guy. look, it is super inflation. now it is coming down hard. the

i am from arizona. i am luis. four things i am looking at as criteria to evaluate states. access to the ballot box. if we are going to define ourselves as the party of access, the party of transparency, making sure that people have the right to exercise their participation in this presidential primary, i think that is fundamental to the decision-making we have to make. access to the ballot box, the ability to vote early, the ability to register on the same day, that invites participants from other affiliations to say that they want to be a part of the democratic party and vote for who will be our president. number two, i know we get locked in the word of diversity. i don't want people to think about diversity as people who wake up and -- at 4:00 a.m. in the morning. as is different from the folks who are participating in presidential primaries right now. states that have the privilege of retail politics are among the state that have the highest payment, but they sometimes do not feel and look like my mother. there was a cafeteria worker that woke up at 4:00 in the morning

i am very optimistic. i am 86 years old.his is the third inflation i have went through and made it through and done well after all of them. i can remember my mom telling me in my younger years they could not even buy anything unless they had stamps. americans are very spoiled. they want instant gratification and they complain. how many of those republican senators gave those chips back because they did not need them? host: how long do you think it will take things to turn around inflation wise? caller: probably another year. host: that is what you have seen before? caller: parting? -- pardon? host: that is what you have typically seen? caller: republicans want to be conservative and put the money in their pocket, not yours. the last four years when trump was in, look at the world and the mess he has created. more hate and more conflict than anybody else. he is the mob boss. he will get his hand slapped and they will pay for his wonderful law, things he wanted done. host: let's talk to carol calling from new britain, connecti

i am sure that they will.xual offences, offences particularly against women, this is incredibly important to the whole house, and they are something we have worked on very hard over the past three years. what we have done, mr. speaker, is normally introduced more streetlights, but we have invested more in independent sexual violence advisers and domestic violence advisers and all the people we need to give victims the confidence they need to get cases to trial, which is such a problem. but what we have also done, in addition to putting more police out on the streets and special units to tackle -- yes, we have -- we have also introduced tougher sentences for rape and serious sexual violence. and i have to say, i was amazed, that it is still the case that his party voted against those tougher sentences. that was a great mistake, and i think they should take it back. speaker: order. at the start of prime minister's questions, the honorable members east lothian and for kirkcaldy and cowdenbeath persistently denied

i am excited to be here and i am ecstatic about the post on the stage --folks on the stage.se are the best of the best and i will do quick controls and we will move on to the questions and their working time -- there will be time for a few in. so, here, we have delilah, who is the executive director director of the texas future project. she is a bad ass and you should know -- my angels will be different. -- intros will be different. she was the field director for stacey abrams. we have tory, who is the president of the way to win. he has done incredible things -- she has done incredible things around galvanizing donors and getting them to examine how to invest strategically. we have a managing director. she flew in from new york and i think she is one of the most articulate leaders in the below profit -- philanthropic -- space. yes no that -- just know if there is any credential, she has it and we have the arena founder who is busy engagement officer and athletics and uses she her and a -- and she is a badass. and she works in causes -- to build restrooms campaigns inspect h

i am not doing that if i am not convinced if what i am doing is no big deal. that is all fine. you have to do that to get people to do frightening things and doing those frightening are important to the country. however, when people get out of the military, nobody sits you down and says, actually, that was crazy stuff. i know we told you that was no big deal, actually it was quite a big deal and most people are not doing this kind of thing and you might need some help for it. you go into civilian life and start to experience symptoms that you did not expect and instead of having a context with which to understand those things you are making evaluations. you don't think i earned ptsd and then it feels like if i claim the mantle of ptsd and get help, that feels like stolen valor. that's like claiming a metal i didn't receive. i will not be doing that because i have integrity. then it is 11 years later and you are on suicide watch in the kansas city psych ward. the last thing about this i'll say is that when i did a change of station from one unit to another, there was a readiness

it is amazing, let's talk about nikki saying i am rewriting history. i am not, i am telling facts.hey are stubborn things, and she knows it. this is a real problem, nikki. we are in a democratic primary. both of us want to unseat governor desantis. if we are going to be able to do that, we have to work together and stop tearing down fellow democrats and do what is right to win the election in i will november. pledge to you if you win the primary, i will endorse you that night. i hope you do the same for me now. >> commissioner coming response to the question? nikki: for the last 3.5 years i've been standing up against ron desantis. i was the first one in 2020 after an atrocious legislative session to call him a dictator. because that's what he is. he is gone after people's rights to vote, right to protest, going after our local governments, and school boards. now he goes after our business communities. look what he did in florida, going after the cruise line industry, because they dared to take care of you the passengers. when disney exercised their freedom of speech he went after

>> but i am analyzing my options.his troops into battle. >> checkmate, schwarzkopf. >> i think "frasier" stands as the single most successful spinoff, at least in the history of sitcoms. >> and the emmy goes to "frasier." >> "frasier." >> "frasier." >> we were lightning hot, and it was critical for us to be leading the way, not just following. ♪ >> "friends" is about that time in your life when your friends are your family. >> ow! >> when david crane and i lived in new york, we were part of a group of six people. we were all attached at the hip. we went everywhere together and celebrated everything together. and there's that period where you're looking to be out there on your own, and the people you rely on are the ones who live down the hall. >> here we go. pivot. pivot. pivot! pivot! pivot! pivot! >> shut up! shut up! shut up! >> "friends" permeated the culture in a way that was really special. everybody was obsessed with the show. and it became like, which one of these characters are you? if you were a girl, were y

anyway come i am rambling. it does feel like these things should be focused on the work that you can do, not the amount of the perceived prestige there is >> i feel like i may be the exception that proves the role on this. i did not decide to run for the texas house because of any particular policy area. my colleagues know that i have trouble not filling my plate with too many policies. it was also because my direct motivation was, i have been involved with indivisible and helping doing a town hall and texas legislature, i decided i did not like my current representative and got really angry at him. it was a backer step into it. i do not think i was going to run for the seat. i initially looked for who is going to go running and i help them. i discovered that i was sitting in a district and no democrat had one since the incumbent of 2012. because i went into that direction, and then i had to back up and do some of that work , why do i want to serve at this level? why would i do good at this level? i ended up ha

i am not trying to make friends. i am just trying to make some money. my job is to educate and teach you, so call me at 1-800-743 cnbc or tweet me at @jimcramer. today we saw a headline . google might pause hiring for a couple of weeks and immediately bruise the average. it didn't do as much damage as a similar story to apple on monday, stocks recovered. the dow gained 48 points. the s&p jumped and nasdaq, pull vaulting 1.58%. i am so glad about one thing. i am glad this reaction was much less hysterical this time. but you know what? it is ridiculous that anyone is freaking out over these stories. these stories about a hiring slowdown as unfortunate as they are. think about it. if you are a ceo and you watch an hour of programming on this network, you will hear some commentators say the federal reserve is trying to cause a recession. i mean, that is what they keep saying! that is what they keep saying. every night i tell you the fed has a mandated slowdown because that is the only way to get inflation under control. notice i said slowdown. executives wo

i am not ideologically, i am beyond left and right or like to think i am.uffice it to say the two callers, i have to say the maga trumper kool-aid is a clear and present danger of what remains of democracy in this country. if the maga group takes over the country this year, trump, dissent a's or any of the cooley drunks --kool-aid drunks, we might go shopping and go to a restaurant but our government will never be the same. there will never be a truly free and fair election again because people will be complaining about the last one being stolen. it is one big firehose of falsehoods. that is the term for what has been happening for the last five or six years. a corporation in california did a study on it. it is a classic old russian and chinese propaganda technique. >> numerous books, many articles have been written about this. you can find it within minutes, but no one whose strength that kool-aid will do it including the person called first. >> even if he runs again donald trump won't be on the ballot in 2022, the midterm election. caller: i meant 2024. i

>> i am ready. i am trying to encourage him to start grilling again. no, i really am ready. i mean, eight years is a long time. it's been an unbelievable privilege to represent and serve the people of the united states. i've loved every minute of it. you know, i really loved it. but, i also understand. of course, all the time that you live here, you know that you are here for a four-year term, or if you are reelected, for eight years. so, i think it's something that you accept. you don't wish you could stay longer. i think, when the time comes, it's the right time. >> this is first ladies in their own words on american history tv. we've listened it to laura bush talk about several issues that were important to her, but one of her most lasting legacies is the national book festival, which he started in 2001, and which continues today as a major washington event. here she is in 2001 at the inaugural national book festival. >> first lady laura bush, is the state you expected? >> it is. i am so thrilled in excited to be here, and i want to thank c-span for covering the national

i am consistently doing that.ow do we respond to today's a dire political landscape while keeping nia on and strategic -- keeping an eye on strategically planning for the future? >> if we looked at what happened in 2020 in texas, we are upset we didn't flip the statehouse, upset biden did not carry texas. coming into this election cycle, i think we have learned to redefine what winning looks like. whether or not they are everything we set out to do. so last year, joe biden in texas picked up more votes in texas than any other state. we have continued to close the gap in texas state wide every election cycle, regardless of what we do or do not win statewide. i think if we look at what is happening locally, we are still able to elect champions, progressive leaders and further the progressive cause. we are getting ready for november, it may not be the most optimistic year, but it is still a year where we can continue to close the gap and continue building upon the foundation folks are creating on the ground. the way

i am a combat war veteran from vietnam, i am 74 years old. carry they are 15 and i know exactly what it does -- the ar-15 and i know exactly what it does. you cannot compare any handgun to that ar-15 long rifle. there is a lot of misinformation and lack of understanding, under education in our country is a systemic problem. people without proper -- they do not even teach government in school anymore. my other issue is this wealth tournament, and the -- golf tournament, and the saudi players association. this is a great tragedy in this country. to see our former president, no matter what you think about him, backing this kind of thing is a wholesale profit making venture for donald j. trump. he could not care less that those saudis knocked down the world trade center and killed 3300 americans. host: let's go to david, calling from alabama on the independent line. good morning. caller: good morning, jesse. how are you today? host: i am doing great. go ahead. caller: i wanted to ask your opinion on something. i wanted to see what you thought abo
