no. >> what about the president? >> well, she said the staff, so i answered. >> i said in the white house. >> i'm sorry, i apologize. i thought you said who else on the staff. i can't reveal the communications. but obviously i think, you know -- yeah. [end of video clip] rep. raskin: mr. cipollone's testimony is corroborated by multiple white house members, including cassidy hutchinson. here's ms. hutchinson describing what she heard from mark meadows. [video clip] >> i said something to the effect of, you heard him, pat, he doesn't want to do anything more. he doesn't think they are doing anything wrong. [end of video clip] rep. raskin: the former white house employee with national security duty similarly recalled an exchange between mr. cipollone and eric herschmann about president trump's inaction against the mob assault underway the capitol. mr. herschmann said something to mr. cipollone and seemed relay that you know, the president didn't want anything done. throughout this time, some of the president's most imp

my favorite all-time president was president john f. kennedy. in my bucket, he did the most to help people of color. in a witch with could do something as far as where this world would've been if john f. kennedy would have been allowed to live. where would black people and what would our existence be like in this world. president trump in my opinion was the president of the confederacy. i think his main objective was to bring the confederacy back in the power. thank goodness the people are waking up and realizing that it is better formation as a whole for blacks to be treated equally and receive the same rights and privileges that we have heard and deserve in this country. >> is gail new jersey. in her book, to me of a panelist that has spread in a couple of books of jfk, quickly. it. >> on john f. kennedy, ranks very high among the public. he is a loved person, love the figure and i think the fascination in dallas is so much as lost, like the end of american innocence. the truth is that we had a golden age of president, fdr, truman eisenhower a

snowmobiling saw the president president ford and his family. principally golf carts to get around or walk. >> just a reminder to everyone we are going to be taking questions at the end of our conversation. if you do have questions for mike about camp david comments history, what it's like please put them in the chat will get to as many as possible. stock a little bit about the history of camp david the historic events that have taken place for camp david. can you talk about some of these episodes for them and why presidents might choose camp david for the setting of these historic occurrences? >> i will mention four events and then i will focus on the fifth one in particular. we have seen photos from the nearby stream. but the point of the bottom left of them talking about how, roosevelt on the top left inside aspen the stone hearth fireplace is still there for there is a wagon wheel the roosevelt table is still there. president truman, i only went ten times in his tenure he preferred key west. the presidents come that that's the first time wit

my father, who served the congress when president truman was vice president. president. he came to campaign for my father. we had this wonderful conversation. and i was intimidated to meet the. of the united states. but he was very inviting and charming and clipped. thomas, who talked about your mother, margaret. he said, i'm telling you what i told margaret. educate in education. it's important you get too much education. always a focus. education. in that conversation, i didn't know whether we were going to talk about. i didn't know what we were going to talk. i was just in awe of him. but was his focus in that? he knew the best investment we could make as a nation was in our children's education because that is how we ensure all can participate and, thrive in our democracy. and this promise is further today by the truman's scholarship initiative, which supports students interested in service. president truman's equipment to democracy did not cease at the water's. he knew that a threat to democracy anywhere was a threat. democracy everywhere. that's why he worked to re

americans also at that also breaking their presidents, and the most famous quote ever written presidency, an influential book in scholars and presidents alike, with the guidebook of how they successfully exercises the stories and here are the incentives of the books, in the united states, but i drank the presidents. speech is a strong and the leadership and we do not wait until man is dead, we write him from the moment he takes office. and gallup began surveying americans on the approval of barack obama's presidency the day after his inauguration, the day after his inauguration. so started immediately and of course there are all of these benchmarks that are in presidency where we stop and consider their legacy, their 100 days, how is the presidents first hundred days compared to franklin roosevelt or any other election and the midterm election and the reelection campaign focusing on the voters to pass judgment on the presidential formants along, you have comments and colonists were asking how anything a president does affect their legacy and their place in history. even though we like to

obviously his presidency is still going on. it is hard to rank him at presidency greatness. for the situation that he adopted when he became president, all that he has done, as ryan said, in his first year or whatever else he's done socially, i think he has accomplished a lot for what he had to deal with and the times he's been president in i think that he is maybe one we will look back and be a little less critical on. we will see all his accomplish and all he's faced in his presidency. >> potentially in the future all the presidents recently will undergo this in some circumstances considering now we have -- just what has happened immediately after. time goes on you may see these issues are not astronaut took as they once were. with bush going into iraq and all those things, no president has had to deal with that kind of terror attack. down the road we may see his decision wasn't as bad as we originally thought it was. >> one of the things that helps as we play this post presidency now is every president has a long period of time outside of office where they can take on new

to the presidency. including his vice president, and watching them work in bipartisan fashion, politics was not present in the name of a peaceful transfer of power, that video was so striking for many reasons, that is one of the first things i thought of. >> it was striking. another thing was part of the hearing, the secret service. they played a role, there were images attached to it pete angler saying they will be recalling witnesses to look at the possible obstruction of justice. what more do we know about the secret service and what lawmakers are looking to? >> this is part of a huge tranche of information secret service had turned over to the committee fairly recently. they got over one million different records from the secret service. emails, messages, other random electronic documents. the committee is still going through them. they were able to use a lot of that during yesterday's hearing. presenting these messages from secret service agents and officials and warning of the potential for violen

to your presidency.china, russia, or iran. it was about a domestic health crisis that he was covering up. >> yeah, and he spent the next few weeks and months pooh-poohing publicly this striking chain of events in your tapes. we played earlier the sound of national security adviser robert o'brien and former deputy security adviser matthew pottinger talk about how they warned trump. january 20th, 20, 20 that the coronavirus would be the greatest threat this president would face. two months after he was warned, he had this conversation with his son, baron, barren, young boy, 12:13, he was scared of the pandemic. here is portions from that conversation he had with trump about his conversations with barren in march. >> i wanted to capture the moment when your son, barron, asked you about this. >> well, he's just turning 14. so he was 13. the white house upstairs, in his bedroom. he said, dad, what's going? on i said it came out of china, barron. appearance in, pull it came out of china. and it should have bee

the president was functioning as he would say is a wartime president.steve bannon is among the people who encourageder him to embrace the pandemic as a type of war. you are very complementary in your book. >> war room pandemic. >> generate 2020 but first the president would give daily updates within a month or so he was phallic is done with the whole thing. mask sort of waste of time. why can't we do things like normal? american people at least where they live to the battleground states and the areas that mattered that is not where they were the radical president biden for being in a basement kind of represent how they felt he understood them better. isn't this a part of what went wrong? >> taking back trumps america only takes on so much.yo in trump time is where i address exactly what you're saying. there's a chapter in there called the virus deniers. in my problem i'm working in my office on february 9. the jump start looking at the vaccine, more importantly how to jumpstart therapeutics like monoclonal antibodies things that would eventually save th

we all vote for a president, the the president represents everyone. so presidential funerals, traditionally, when the nation is divided, is something that unites us. and throughout history there have been periods of reconciliation, some briefly, some more permanent, that have come out of it, that have -- where the presidential funeral has been the catalyst. one of the brief examples, can go back to washington's funeral, again, the country was becoming more greatly divided over the formation of political parties. and george washington's funeral briefly brought together the federalists and democratic republicans to mourn together. but political forces were at play that were bigger than george washington's death. a couple of successful examples of how presidential funerals and presidential deaths have really been catalysts for change, one being after james garfield had died, when he was assassinated. and one of the reasons, one of the dividing issues of the time was over civil service reform and the spoils party. out of that assassination, shortly after,

president. whoa. i said, look, the department of justice if there's any daylight between the attorney general and the deputy, you're going to have turmoil in the department and, you know, the people -- they just cripple the political level of leadership that way. and he's h looking at me and i said, let me put it this way, mr. president, the attorney general's balls are in the deputy's pocket. and i'm not putting mine in anyone's pocket. this look of recognition came about. did you have someone in mind? >> yeah. okay, fine. talk to some other people. that was that. applause ]. host: he also said the best politics at doj are no politics. is that a shared value between you and president bush? guest: right, the attorney general performs a number of different functions andle one is provide legal advice and you are optimism ass a political officl who is politically sympathetic to the administration and you try to give advice that the course of law and also from a standpoint of help, the administration gett

knowing the deadly riot was bearing down on his own vice president, president trump composed and sent a tweet attacking vice president pence accusing him of cowardess for not rejecting electoral college votes for biden and handing trump the presidency. the impact of that tweet was foreseeable and predictable. it inflamed the mob which was chanting hang mike pence and provoked them to greater violence. this deliberate decision to further enrage the mob against vice president pence cannot be justified by anything that president trump might have thought about the election. the tweet came precisely at the time pence's secret service detail was most seriously concerned for the vice president's physical safety. we've obtained new documents from the secret service, real-time chats that underscore the threat that they knew the vice president would be facing because of the president's escalating incitement of the mob. after trump's tweet, one agent in the secret service's intelligence division warned potus just tweeted about pence, probably not going to be good for pence. another agent reporte

the president will be on the case. where was the president?resident was sitting this out and responsible. it's another chapter in the january 6th horror. >> carl, i mean, it's extraordinary to me to see speaker pelosi, chuck schumer, standing in the courtyard there talking to the acting secretary of defense, saying, pretend this is the pentagon. pretend this is the white house. stop giving us the run around, essentially, and get people there. they need people on the ground. and nobody is calling, it's not as if donald trump is involved in any of this. this is being led, i mean, nancy pelosi is in charge in this. chuck schumer is in charge, denis hoyer, some of these others. >> i mean, no, but they have to save american democracy. it's real and moving. you see the leaders of the democratic party, the republican party, and the vice president of the united states, knowing that they have a deadline to finish this job and you hear pelosi say, and you hear the others say, if we can't get this job done by tonight, god knows what the consequences are.

the the president was functioning as he would say, as a wartime president. yes. steve bannon is among the people that encouraged him to embrace the pandemic as a type of war. you're very complimentary of mr. bannon in your book. he did it. he did a show, war room pandemic. right. and january 22. correct. and at first, the president would give daily updates and then let the experts speak. and within about a month or so, the president seemed like he was done with the whole thing. masks were a waste of time. and why can't we just do things like normal? my point here is, even if in retrospect we were to say that was good policy, the american people, at least where they lived in the battleground states and and the areas that mattered, that's not where they were. you know, republicans would would ridicule president biden for being in a basement. right. but he kind of represented how they felt. and that made them feel like he understood them better. i mean, isn't this a part of what went wrong again, taking back trump's america only takes on so much in trump time is whe

president biden. >> president biden: good morning. to rebuild the backbone of the middle class, this country. that's the backbone. build and economy to make sure the economy was stronger than it was before the pandemic. since i came to office that's what we've done. historic vaccination efforts that saved lives, helped our economy recover from the lost jobs during the pandemic. 10 million jobs created, a record for any administration at this point in a presidency. 3.5% unemployment, 50-year low, 700,000, nearly 700,000 manufacturing jobs created with companies investing billions of dollars to build industry in america proving that made in america is no longer just a slogan. we are rebuilding roads, bridges, ports, airports. we're delivering clean water, high-speed internet to every american. the price of gas at the pump is coming down. it's down $1.20 since this summer and just this week, last week it has fallen another 10 cents. today we have further proof that we're rebuilding the economy in a responsible way. today my administratio

president.nversation i had this morning, trying to establish his intent. i'm glad the other prosecutors are on this panel, because they can speak to the difficulties in trying to establish someone's intent, someone's mindset. nonetheless, that's what this committee is trying to do. what one of the focuses has been throughout the hearings -- the other piece of this, too, is they're going to try to lay out the fact that this is still a present threat. not something that's just represented by donald trump, but as they turn to writing their final report, drafting concrete final recommendations, according to one member who i spoke to this morning, there's a lot of thought going into trying to shore up the larger small d democratic system. yes, this is about trump in this moment. but also trying to push beyond him and ensure that a day like january 6 can never happen again or be taken advantage of by any other politician, including donald trump. there's the near term argument the committee has been ma

watching president bush early in his presidency welcome the blares. it was just two couples getting to know each other. as one of the moves to the neighborhood. it's one of the poignant things to watch the sidelines. even when we get to serve there and see things, you have to remember, you are in the world a brief time. you get to know some personal things about the families but you are not on the world. you have to understand and maintain that core. i will tell us two stories that are personal. i think it helps to relate to families. the first one is the final clinton weekend. four days nonstop at 100 of gas coming through. dinners and a couple of chaplain new jason is performing in the chapel. it is a wonderful event. we got an opportunity to say goodbye. as i'm walking into the helicopter at 10:00 that sunday night, there's snow on the ground. thanking them for leaving the country and walking down to where -- i-20 are old chelsea clinton turns to me and hands me two stuffed animals. she says, commander i've had these in my bedroom for eight years i

president. his first kind of career was as a new york assembly man. so think of the state house of representatives. that's what we're talking about for, new york. we've been reading the novel in his steps written in 1896 and trying to understand the word of the gilded age and progressive era through it. remember the characters of pastor henry maxwell and of the president of lincoln college in that novel and how they were very aversed to politics how they thought of politics is low and dirty and was a great struggle for them to get involved. that's the kind of attitude that roosevelt's family has about politics in the early 1880s. he comes from a wealthy upper crust elite family who sees politics as run by saloon keepers as run by immigrants who they're kind of prejudice against is run by new york democrats who they're definitely against roosevelt bucked the trend in his family by deciding like maxwell or like president marsh of lincoln college and the novel two plunge into politics and he got hi

a subpoena to former president trump, potentially, a former subpoena to president mike pence, which is something all of the company have mold over, at earlier stages of their investigation. i think that every observer, certainly, every journalistic prognostication about the committee right now, suggested that a subpoena to trump, or pence, probably, was too late to that. it's off the table, it comes to close to the end of the work, to still be, seriously, considering that dramatic of the step. all of those prognostications were wrong. today, during the hearing, the committee voted to subpoena documents, and testimony, under oath from the former president. >> during this committee's first hearing, in july of last year, our witnesses were four police officers who helped propel the riots of january 6th. we asked them, what they hoped to see the committee accomplish, over the course of our investigation. officer gonell wanted to know, why the rioters were made to believe that the election process was rigged. officer food known asked us to look into the actions, and activities, that resulte

president was functioning as a wartime president. and steve bannon encourage them to embrace the pandemic as a type of war. your very complementary towards him. >> yes. january 2020. >> and he would give daily updates and let the experts speak up and after a month the president seemed like he was done with it and masks were a waste of time. why can't we do things like normal? my point is even in retrospect we say that's good policy, the american people in the battleground states, that's not where they were. the republicans ridicule biden for being in the basement but isn't that a part of what went wrong? >> the thing about trumps america in trump time is where i address exactly what you are saying. there is a chapter called the virus deniers.s. in my problem i'm working in my office on february 9th —- february 9 writing memos that would help jumpstart looking at the vaccine in for monoclonal antibodies and i'm working on that the first week of february. and everybody in the white house is saying this is nothing. kudlow, kirchner, sec

once gave me a personal letter from president kennedy to khrushchev from a letter from president kennedyrman of the council of ministers of the ussr nikita khrushchev white house washington october 22, 1962 sir. i did not imagine that you or any other sane person in this nuclear age would deliberately plunge the world into a war in which it is quite clear that no country can win and which can only lead to catastrophic consequences for the whole world, including the aggressor. returning to the embassy, ​​i spent 10-15 minutes alone in my office to to cool off a little and, if possible, to assess the situation in a balanced way, it was clearly a major and dangerous crisis in relations between the united states about this assessment. i immediately reported to moscow the kennedy administration felt like a hoax passed. a week after the start of the caribbean crisis , i realized that he was beginning to lose confidence in the eyes of the american leadership and he looked in the eyes of either a deceiver or an ambassador who did not have information. at first, i didn't have personal security in

hundred president john adams ultimately lost to vice president thomas jefferson. and while the as many of you know the most divisive, perhaps one of the most divisive elections was the election of 1800. president john adams ultimately lost to vice president thomas jefferson, and while the transfer of power was ultimately peaceful, adams did forego his successor's inauguration. i think that has also happened another time or two, but i won't bring that up. [laughter] and those two men actually remained at odds for many, many, years. it was only later during their retirement did they actually rekindle their friendship, discussing many different topics in their correspondance, including the topic of death. adams actually wrote to jefferson in 1822 these words, quote, i answer your question, is death an evil? it is not an evil. it is a blessing to the individual and to the world. yet, we ought not to wish for it, to life becomes insupportable, end quote. he was 86 years old when he wrote this note. perhaps adams had become comfortable with the idea of leaving the world

once gave me a personal letter from president kennedy to khrushchev from a letter from president kennedy the council of ministers of the ussr nikita, khrushchev white house washington october 22, 1962 sir. i did not imagine that you or any other sane person in this nuclear age would deliberately plunge the world into a war in which it is quite clear that no country can win and which can only lead to catastrophic consequences for the whole world, including the aggressor. back at the embassy, ​​i i spent 10-15 alone in my office in order to cool down a little and, if possible, assess the situation in a balanced way, the matter clearly went to a major and dangerous crisis in relations with the united states about this assessment. i immediately reported to moscow the kennedy administration felt like a swindler. a week after the start of the caribbean crisis , i realized that he was beginning to lose confidence in the eyes of the american leadership and he looked in the eyes of either a deceiver or an ambassador who did not have information at first in washington personal security. i was away

and the president, the former president likes to talk all the time but maybe we should get out.re we getting for all this? and says no to the transpacific partnership which then has these nations going well, who she would be with if not the united states? were not those wrong decisions tactically? >> guest: absolutely not. and you could just as easily when we d' the movie of "taking back trump's america" you could play either mattis or tillerson, right? rex tillerson state -- they would say, they were ripping on these guys because they would support his trade policy. south korea, although wanted to do was get out of a bad trade deal with hillary clinton was the architect of have got out of that and we were able to save the pickup truck industry in this country. if we hadn't got out about the pickup industry, the pickup truck industry would be gone, okay, within a few years. and so what the people didn't understand when we did that is that it's all about the deal with president trump. and threatening to get out of there he knew they needed us more than we needed them. he knew thr

well, president is one person who unites everyone we all vote for president the president represents everyone so presidential funerals traditionally when the nation is divided is something that unites us and throughout history there have been periods of reconciliation some briefly some some more permanent that have come out of it that have where the presidential funeral has been the catalyst. one of the brief examples can go back to washington's funeral again when the country was becoming greatly divided over over the formation of political parties. and george washington's funeral briefly brought together the federalists and democratic republicans to mourn together, but ultimately political forces were at play that were bigger than george washington's death. a couple of successful examples of how presidential funerals and presidential deaths have really been catalyst for one being after james garfield had died when he was assassinated and one of the reasons one of the of the dividing issues of the time was over civil service reform. and and the spoils party out of that out of that as

>> he's saying he's ready for a dialogue with russia but with another president. >> the president has consistently said that the war ultimately will end free diplomacy and we consistently backed him up onthat . i'd have to refer you to him on that precise statement and what he means by that i would tell you we've had daily engagement with the president, his chief of staff, foreign minister, his defense minister and much communication of course to our military and their military to make sure that we are understanding one another well. that we are transparent about the support we are providing and the strategy there pursuing. that continues today and that will continue every dayfrom here on out . >> have you said dialogue is always possible with another president? >> i don't know the context of the statements i can't answer it in the characterization you provided but president biden believes that a diplomatic solution with ukraine is possible but it is only possible according to the basic terms of the un charter that everybody signed up to her and that's what he said in his speech last

president. i have a point of order to raise before we moved to agenda item five of the 11th emergency special session. would like to propose that the general assembly adopts the decision confirming the general assembly will decide through 87 b of the rules of procedure to take control by electronic means when action is taken when there is a solution and the action will not be taken by secret ballot. the reason for this proposed decision is that russia has circulated the proposal to all member states, formally perfecting best requesting this is done on a secret ballot. in the interest of avoiding confusion, they should clarify this issue now. russia's proposal is an attempt to have piracy. wouldn't we all want transparency from the international community? if a neighboring country invaded and attacked a portion of our territory, would the new number -- member state support the secret ballot if it was a wrong territory that someone was trying to enact? the russian federation, citing a president of

as a president, for congress to compel the testimony of a president. it is also presi -- precedent to acknowledge a president. we are also understanding that a subpoena for a former president is an extraordinary action. we want to put this in the full view of the american people because the subject matter is so important to the american people and the stakes are so high. i recognize the vice chair of wyoming to offer a motion. >> pursuant to today's notice i sent to the desk a committee resolution and ask for its immediate consideration. >> the report of the resolution? >> resolved. they chairman -- the chairman's subpoena for donald j. trump in his connection with the attack on the united states capitol pursuant to section five c four of 504, clause 2m of the house of representatives. >> did a woman from wyoming is recognized on her -- sure woman from wyoming is recognized. >> we are answering the questions posed by congress. we have information to consider criminal referrals, multiple visuals. >> referrals. we must seek the testimony under of january

biden is unpopular president.get blake master's elected in arizona. so democrats are running away from biden but what you point to is the voting record and how often they voted with president biden or leadership democrats like tim ryan in ohio and others. >> exactly. i mean, you know, we are seeing the democratic candidates who are having to answer for those records in terms of spending. we know inflation and the economy are. so biggest issues with voters and republicans are working really hard to tack that on to them. i thought it was interesting watching senator kelly and blake masters, they were both backing away from something. senator kelly was backing away from biden and how democrats have sort of handled messaging in terms it of the border and then you had blake masters backing away from some of the more hard line distances he had had in the primary as he had with abortion and his views on the 2020 election. >> bret: okay. we put it in the closet for a little while but now we are going to take you down to c

to your presidency. do you remember that? >> no, no. no, i don't. no, i don't. i'm sure he said it. you know, i'm sure he said it. nice guy. >> as i said, woodward had not learned about the january 28th warning until may. may. more than 70,000 americans had already died from the virus. two months after that in july, trump gave woodward a ring, and he said he finally had a plan to deal with the pandemic. but trump wanted to wait to release it until a time when it would better help him win re-election. >> the plan over the next four weeks -- bob, i've got 106 days. that's a long time. you know, if i put out a plan now, people won't even remember it in 100 -- i won the last election -- >> no, no. it's not just put out the plan. it's execute it. >> i am executing -- you'll see it starting -- >> but it was not just trump's handling of the pandemic that led woodward to declare him an unparalleled danger. back in december 2019, trump shared letters with woodward that had been sent by north korean dictator kim j

president? your call from brazil. the president-elect. how was it? >> it went very well.gether and discuss what we can do together. he wants to focus on the environment, democracy and dealing with the poor in his country. >> are you inviting him to the white house? >> neil: all right. didn't get much out of the president there outside of commenting on the surprising election of the former president of brazil back in that job. just a couple of quick clarifications on what the president said about rocketing gas prices and the industry should do its part. a couple of points on that attributing this to the war. 40% of the oil that we saw under this administration occurred long before boots were getting even near the ground near ukraine back in early 1921. we should also say that the big catalyst, the upward run in prices had to do with the fact that the president had almost immediately cut off the keystone pipeline. that was expected. the economy was coming outs of its doldrums and when we were shut in and that produced a boom in the economy because everyone was getting back

his time as president. many presidents in the united states after they leave office, they sort of fade into obscurity. we can think of some recent examples of this, you know, we don't see former president bush or obama, or trump kind of campaigning for new offices or, you know, things like that. that was not the tact that president theodore roosevelt took after he stopped being president. in 1908, he was technically eligible to run for a, essentially, third term. number one, there was no constitutional prohibition against that at this point in american history. it was only the precedent that george washington had set of two terms that would've prevented him from running. secondly, he hadn't really had a full first term because he is here to -- nevertheless, roosevelt believed in 1908, it was not wise for him to run for a third term, that it would essentially be violating the precedent, the wise prescedent that george washington set of only two terms for any one person. and so, he voluntarily chose not to ru

, ah, they become president. so that's that's one example i have sports stories in there as you can tell from the title. i spent five and a half years as that boy for the knoxville smokies baseball team. now my wife, my late wife used to say that that was my biggest claim to fame. i was a bat boy for five and a half seasons, and i think i should be in the hall of fame because i've never heard of anybody else being a bat boy that long that i wasn't. i stayed at that job. got it. got it that long, because i did the first season half for free and the next four for a dollar 50 a game. and that was for five or 6 hours a work our fun every day but i was to speak to a chamber of commerce dinner in athens, tennessee, a few years ago, and the main speaker was the famous baseball player, pete rose, and i sit next to him at the head table. and i told him that i was batboy for the smokies when he played for the macon peaches and i probably was 12 or 13 at the time, but when he got up to speak, the first thing he said, he sai

the president is taking a question. all right, that was president biden.oing to note -- so, i think what we heard in this, oftentimes, when the president is out, he has a pool with him. the pool, as you saw there, the reporters they can ask questions. he noted that he's not going to answer questions inside the polling place. they want to get political inside the polling place, but it's going to answer his their questions outside. we'll take that as soon as the president and the pool are set. i want to bring in my political panel now before that time. melanie mason is with us. she's a national political reporter for the los angeles time. stephanie young is also here in studio. she's executive director of when we all vote. and michael steele is with us in spirit. he's the former chairman of the republican national committee, and an msnbc political analyst. you know, michael, before we hear from the president, i want to get your response to what you heard from congresswoman bass on this attack. how do we get to a point where we have a hammer wielding conspira

as vice president, i did a lot of foreign policy through the president.to go. because i still think, there is an enormous possibility, to compromise on important things. can't always get it your own way, but you can move it a long way. and i just, right now, who knows what happens? look, you know my history. i was elected to the senate when i was 29, thought i was at the top of the world. six weeks later, my wife and daughter were killed, my two boys almost died because they were struck by a tractor trailer. i respect faith. but right now, i feel completely capable of doing the job as well as anybody can do the job. and, we will see. >> and up next, with the new movie, till, through the eyes of emmett till's family, i will talk to one of his cousins, still fighting for justice, when we come back. k. ole lot of something with farmers policy perks.

and he was a bad president. he was not. he was a stupid president. he was not he was much higher in his west point ranks than people acknowledged. but all of this negative mythology had been built up and no one had ever, including the mcfeely. i have never read the mcfeely biography of grant because it's so that i don't want to read it because. and my grandfather wrote his own biography of his grandfather. his grandfather dedicated to his three daughters, including my mother, saying, need to set the record straight. most of it has been false from up until this point. and that's in 1969. so so that's why i grew up with that and that's why i don't think he knew how to talk to me. plus, i also think there were things that my grandfather was not a perfect person either and i won't go into that. but he had the prejudices of his time and i don't think he knew how. talk about any of that to a 12 year old, which is what i was when he died. but so i think that's but something you said about the first lady's my first entree into u.s. grant history is reading h
