i don't think that our current president or our previous president would do that. but roosevelt read with purpose. he would find social critics. he would read their work, and he would get to know those people. famous examples with jacob reese, the photographer and social reformer. he talked to him about the social ills of new york when he was commissioner of police in new york and then later governor of new york up. he read booker t washington's up from slavery and invited him to the white house just to get to know the person of the book was quite a sensation and he wanted to talk about america's policy towards african-americans. what he didn't realize at the time was that this was the first time a black man had been invited to dine at the white house. and that caused another sensation. roosevelt leaned in. he was proud of it, but there were people in that, and there was much more racist times who were outraged by it. so it was a really important moment, and it was based on roosevelt use of culture. and there are other examples. he read upton sinclair's the jungle,

the presiding officer: the president pro tem. mrs. murray: mr. president, i've been down here all week, saying again and again, the only way we're going to avoid a shutdown is a c.r. that can get bipartisan support to quickly pass the house and senate, and we've been working nonstop to pass that commonsense, nonpartisan c.r. i put together with my colleagues across the aisle. tonight, we we had a bill from the house that passed in a bipartisan way with nearly every house democrat voting in support. i'm now glad the senate passed it as well and get it to the president's desk for his signature. this bill does not contain the devastating cuts house republicans were pushing just yesterday. it does not contain the ineffective partisan border provisions they were demanding. so mr. president, there were good reasons to vote for it. first and foremost, it prevents a senseless government shutdown, one that house republicans have been pushing us towards for weeks. but this bill also meets the president's full request for disaster relief fund, and that's go

president. a senator: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from maryland. mr. cardin: mr. president, a little over a week ago i was in israel with ten u.s. senators meeting with the israeli leadership. and i must tell you they are very much looking forward to having a confirmed ambassador from the united states in jerusalem to help in regards to the challenges they're now facing as a result of hamas' attack -- terrorist attack in israel. and they're very much looking forward to jack lew being that ambassador. we heard that directly. his nomination has been welcomed by the israelis, including israel's foreign minister who said he looks forward to working with. the former israeli ambassador to the united states wrote that lew is, quote, a true statesman and a passionate jew, a mench in every sense of the word. he has the support of the jerusalem post, orthodox union advocacy center, antidefamation leek and the list goes on and on and on. why? because he is so well qualified for this position. he's been confirmed by the senate as the secretary -- former secretary

as you know this morning president biden and vice president harris spoke to prime minister netanyahu. this was the president's third conversation with him since this crisis began. president biden and harris continue to meet with the national security team to continue to receive updates and get direction, the president held 17 calls and meetings over saturday, sunday and monday. with his national security team, the president and the vice president has held more than three dozen meetings briefings and calls since the attacks on israel began. ms. jean-pierre: good afternoon. the president has recently had his third conversation with prime minister benjamin netanyahu since the crisis began. vice president harris and president biden meet with the security team to give direction on next steps. the president held 17 calls and meetings over saturday, sunday, and monday with his national security team. the president and vice president have had three dozen meetings, briefings, and calls since the attacks on israel began. the president will continue to be relentless in insuring israel and the is

we saw sarah palin run for president for vice president in 2008. we've seen, in fact, women running for president more frequently now and also individuals of color, men and women running for president more than we had sort of not only previous to obama, but to some degree previous to having the idea of who occupies that space, that that, you know, sort of iconic space in our imagining or in our imagined minds who can be in that and have it be kind of more normalized? may i say something? go ahead. i was to run for president, but i was born in canada. so i came all. even going to dawson isn't even more than that, i swear. way too. i can't say all the time. i would never. last day want to begin running for congress instead. oh yeah. that does. this is a question for all the panelists. and feel free to respond to the question to one another's responses. but thing i was struck by is how we as moviegoers have changed our consumption habits for. film with the rise of multiple streaming services, more and more people are watching movies at home versus, go

vice president. democrats have joined with republicans to oust kevin mccarthy from the speakership of the u.s. house of representatives. clearly this is developing as we're talking right now. but with a development like this, what sort of a message do you see something like this sending to other countries about the stability of the u.s. government? the speaker of the house is arguably the most powerful member of that chamber and what do you think it says to countries looking at what's happening here? vice president pence: well, let me say chaos is never america's friend and it's never a friend of american families that are struggling. and i'm deeply disappointed that a handful of republicans who partnered with all the democrats in the house of representatives to oust the speaker of the house. but i suspect before the week is out there will be more votes on who will be elected speaker of the house. i expect that most of the republicans in the congress will vote again for kevin mccarthy, the way they v

the president was asked yesterday about 2020 president answered straightforward. you heard him say when he came the 2020 election you had more than 60 judges who basically threw those cases under court for proved it not to be true. when it came to the accusations that the elections were not real or whatever however they set it in 2020 but also the trump administration said the 2020 election was the safest elections they have ever had any heard that from the administration. the president and should that question. more broadly the president has said once the house conference was able to get their affairs in order after spending 22 days in their chaos that we have seen the last 22 days once he figures that out he'd be willing to work with them in good faith to get things done on behalf of the american people. we have been able to do big things in a bipartisan way whether it's the infrastructure law, we've been able to deliver to the american people and the president wants to do that but he wants to continue that progress. the american people are clear they want to co

so the president, as he's been doing, will continue to do the work of the president, to do the work of the commander in chief and this is no different. reporter: one more. u.a.w. expanded its strike today. is it time for team sperling and acting secretary sue to be on the ground in detroit? karine: they have been to detroit the past couple weeks and have been closely engaged in the u.a.w. and the big three. obviously they're not part of the conversation but they're offering assistance the u.a.w. may need. the president believes collective bargaining is incredibly important, for both sides to come together and continue to have those negotiations and continue to have those conversations and we're here to assist in any way and we have been. we have been doing that. but again, collective bargaining so that hopefully there's a win-win agreement and it's done in good faith. and we've seen it in the past two years under this administration work out in different scenarios and what we're hoping to continue. go ahead, m.j. reporter: will the president meet with is a is man that walls from the sy

with president clinton, the fbi went and actually interviewed the president, and the vice president, about these matters, and other people in the white house. president clinton lost his law license over that and ended up that there was an impeachment. can you please talk about what should be done from normal and regular department of justice officials to see whether this has occurred, and whether we are entitled to ask questions about that investigation from the fbi and the doj? >> thank you, mr. sessions. i think you are more than entitled. i think you're obligated to look into the allegations that the whistleblowers have brought. the whistleblowers were very detailed in the investigative steps that they took. those that they wanted to take, but were prevented for taking, but would have taken in any other investigation, we do not have a window into where the roadblock was thrown. we do not know who through it. >> would you think it would be proper for this committee to bring those individuals into properly vet them about that? or, is that the duty of the doj through the federal bure

this complicates meetings for president biden who was scheduled to meet with president mahmoud abbas. mahmoud abbas cancelled that meeting and egypt have shut off americans and israelis against talks about humanitarian aid following this disaster at the hospital. we continue to investigate. >> ainsley: it is hard to report the truth, you have the other side, evidence this was not israel, israel did not cause this blast at the hospital. evidence is it is islamic jihad. >> the video with voice notes about what he was seeing. i said, do you see a crater or evidence this was an israeli st strike. we make a conclusion based on facts we were able to obtain. this was a rocket fired from inside gaza that fell short landing on civilians. >> todd: trey, people can believe one thing, but the leaders, king abdullah and al- sisse, if you know the truth and we know the truth, they know the truth. why wouldn't they put meetings with the president back online? why is it in their best interest to give us the cold shoulder? >> trey: politicings. amidsuch a tragic war taking place and loss of life, lead

what does the president think? karine: the president with members of congress put forward a comprehensive piece of legislation to deal with him immigration reform and this has been broken for decades. it's been three years since he put forth that piece of legislation. there are three things he's moved forward in when it comes to his plan and looking at the border. there's enforcement and we've deployed additional troops and agents at the border and removed or returned more than 250,000 individuals since may 12 alone. that's what we've been able to do without the help of republicans and deterrents, we've had the largest expansion certainly of pathways -- a pathway in decades and we've made clear that attempting to cross the border unlawfully will result in prompt removal and a five-year ban on re-entry and criminal prosecution and don't forget the diplomacy we've done with the region including mexico to deal with this issue because it's not -- this is a regional issue that we're seeing with as it relates to unlawful

president did not snub the arabs.t is the key. >> but was the trip achieved in the end? he was going to aceve something and did not come home with that. >> there is no doubt he would've liked to but he cannot force his way into george and begin airspace -- into jordanian airspace if they say, because of the way the story was presented in the media, but it would be difficult to host him now. the president says this was done by -- the israelis say it was the islam jihad. this had a huge impact because of what you just said. >> david from the -- a former state department official. joining us now from the washington institute. let's bring breaking news. it has come to us from the u.k. foreign office which is now advising against all travel to lebanon. it says that you can see on the tweet from the travel advisory, "if you are currently in lebanon, we encourage you to leave right now while flights remain open." this comes after increasing activity near the lebanon border. the u.k. is advising against all travel again -- in

tonight, the president is -- geoff: tonight, the president is expected to speak about the u.s. response to this war, and to the other war that has been a global focus for nearly two years -- the war in ukraine. but first, to president biden speaking from the oval office. pres. biden: good evening, my fellow americans. we are facing an inflection point in history, one of those moments where the decisions we make today are going to determine the future for decades to come. that is what i would like to talk with you about tonight. this morning, i returned from israel. i was the first american president this cabinet, and i met with israelis who have horrific horror on the attack by hamas on the seventh of october. more than 1300 people slaughtered in israel, including at least 32 american citizens. scores of innocents, from infants to elderly grandparents, israeli americans taken hostage. as i told the families of americans being held captive by home. as president, there is no higher priority for me than the safety of americans held hostage. hamas unleashed pure unadulterated peopl

the point is i want president biden to be the next president, and he needs to call us to a higher moral. >> congresswoman jayapal, thank you so much. really appreciate it. we covereded a lot of ground here. when we come back. after three weeks without a leader, republicans choose a new speaker, with an urgent request to fund two wars. how will he confront the challenges? the panel isext. progress means producing renewable fuels for trucks on the road today. we're partnering with farmers to develop these fuels using everything from plant by-products to cow manure. and then using those fuels to help lower the lifecycle carbon intensity of the transportation industry. driving the world forward today, while forging new roads to the future. that's energy in progress. narrator: samuel bankman-fried was arrested and criminally charged with “...one of the biggest financial frauds in american history.” meanwhile, wall street multi-millionaire turned sec chairman gary gensler held multiple meetings with sbf while this fraud was happening. now, gensler refuses to answer to congress. rep mchenry: y

the president is one unifier. sometimes he or she can be divisive but everybody knows who the president is in the latest thing the president said and i just thought looking at our country's culture through the lens of the presidency could give you a good sense of where the presidency was at various times and also as the title conveys, show the evolution of culture as technology improves so jefferson read is still the way to get information in my perspective, but it's an inert form of information. then you start to have motion pictures. more fluid and things that are moving. you can see a movie at different places and then there is the interactive level. roosevelt, around 1920 he was the most filled person in the world. it's not just the president takes in culture but the president becomes a part of culture and then obama tweeted, i obviously wrote that before 20 -- trump tweeted even more but here we have the situation where the president thinks something and puts it out in 80 million people immediately see it. it

president may have here? >> reporter: that blast at that hospital certainly has shifted the dynamics of president biden's trip to israel. it was a trip meant to show solidarity with israel as well as trying to ascertain what needs they will need going forward, but it also speaks to the volatile situation in the region and also the growing humanitarian concerns and the risks being posed to civilians as this war between israel and hamas wages on. white house officials heading over into this trip have sought to downplay expectations about the president emerging from this trip with concrete deliverables. instead officials say he will be there to manage what is increasingly becoming a complex situation. in a short while we expect to see president biden sitting down one-on-one with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. part of the goal is seek more input and insight into israel's plans going forward. and white house officials say the president is prepared to ask tough questions of netanyahu as this war is taki

president trump.and so, four years later, i'm not in office, but i was in d.c., so i blocked off the afternoon to go over there and watch and i don't know what's going on. i go through the tunnel through through rayburn and i come out on the capitol and i'm in the house chamber and then all of a sudden it gets really crazy. and i had no idea that was going on until the capitol police came in and bolted all the doors and this probably somewhere around 1:00, i'm guessing that afternoon. but take us through. that day. when did you first learn that there a problem in the capitol with you going that process? and then, of course, you know, your decision to. your first loyalty to the constitution of the united states of america this tell us a little i mean the emotions and of course karen's with you, i guess charlotte. i mean, what a what an unbelievable experience. and of course, the most disgust thing thing was to look at the pictures of the capitol, see people scaling and going through the windows. so i j

president obama obama. as representative of harry truman's hometown of independence, missouri, i am very much honored to be with you this evening. when harry truman became, the first president to address the naacp in 1947, i don't think anyone could have imagined the progress to come. and since that day, just think about it dr. king marched on washington. president johnson signed a number of civil rights bills. thurgood marshall joined the supreme. and america. barack hussein obama to the presidency in his speech, president truman warned that we cannot afford the luxury of a leisurely attack on discrimination. his words marked the genesis of the civil rights era, ringing out in congress, state legislatures, congregations living, rooms and city streets all around this great country. today we meet to keep truman's words alive and usher our children and their children into new era of civil rights. before dr. divulged his rosa parks took a seat on a bus and president obama swore his oath. president truman signe

you have to make sure president some president i work for too presidents who could read hundreds of pages a night. not every president can. and that doesn't they can't make good decisions. so i think it's, in my view, the most important is to see what the president needs, design the process. the other thing is it's never if the team doesn't feel that they're part of it, if the team ultimately has to execute, it has to be out there in public. it has to be on the hill. the cabinet has to be doing that. the white house staff has to be doing that if you have a process, it leaves feeling this was done them. it doesn't usually play well and when you have a president who isn't going to spend the time necessarily with everyone, it puts a lot of the burden on the chief of staff to do but somebody in the white house has to make everybody feel connected to the decision making process. and it was relatively easy, president obama, because he was he was willing to take time and be there. but in the second term, i think dennis had to do more intermediation than i did even during the election year. and i

the president is the most pro union president for a reason. workers have the right to ask for fair pay and fair benefits. and it is something that they have the fundamentally right to fight for and to ask for, and so again, he stood very proudly in doing -- taking a historic action, going to an active picket line to really speak on behalf of union workers. >> karine. >> thank you, karine. there is a senate delegation going to china next week. i wonder if the white house is going to give them advice or guidance and if the president will talk to them before or after their trip. >> so, we have been in touch with senator schumer's, leader schumer's office about the upcoming senate delegation as you just mentioned, that trip, and we support certainly their engagement in the region. so we would have to refer you specifically to leader schumer. we certainly support their trip to the region. up here, you are throwing me off. >> miss the l.a. times? don't tell time. >> my hometown paper. on president biden's first day in office, january 20th, he posted

his presidency. yes, it was the most scandal ridden to that point in history, but there were also some of his actions that loomed large in better way. he helped create national park, the first official national. he oversaw the pass and enactment of the 15th amendment, which the right to vote to african-americans. he implemented the enforcement acts which congress passed to enforce the 15th amendment and protect from actions groups like the ku klux klan. and he vigorous fully enforce these laws and effectively disrupt. did the klan in the south with this and with his enforcement of the 14th and 15th amendments grant more to protect and defend civil rights of african-americans than any other president for almost a century until you get to the presidency of lyndon. he was also a genuine only nice guy. he was an amiable man who was willing to admit his mistakes. in fact, despite what you may have heard recently, us grant was the first u.s. president to be arrested. he was arrested for speeding. he loved

in this case, president obama, that would be for vice president biden's records and president biden himself is the incumbent president. then there is at least the 30 day period in which they have time to review those records. and then we enter a period in which we're able to provide access and request to the chairman of the committee or whoever is asking under a special act that was requested. >> watch our exclusive interview with colleen shogan the 11th archivist of the united states saturday at 8 p.m. eastern on c-span, c-span now, or online at c-span.org. ♪ >> monday, watch c-span's series in partnership with the library of congress books that shaped america. we feature the life of frederick douglass written in 1845, the first of three autobiographies by frederick douglass. in sometimes graphic language, he describes his childhood years on the eastern shore of maryland, his time as a slave in baltimore, and his escape north in 1868. -- in 1838,. historian and authored everett will be our guest on the program to discuss the book. watch 'books that, shaped america featuring the narrative o

the president has to do what the president has to do. when he gets out and gives a hug to netanyahu, you are sayings, i'm here, this conflict is one i'm focused upon. i will tell you, i think a lot of this, i hate to do monday morning quarterbacking, like an incursion in ukraine, this was an avoidable conflict. terrorist groups are always out there. when you green light iran like they could contribute to peace, you misconceive the environment. they gave up on the abraham accord started by president trump and if those accords had gone forward, you might have seen a sut down and discussion of peace with the palestinians. we were in a better place than we are now 10 or 15 years ago, i'm afraid we're on cusp of escalation. any message to be delivered by the president should be i'm calling on this region not to escalate this. terrorism is wrong, peace is worth fighting for and innocent lives can be saved. >> carley: that is the frightening part what could come, not just israel and surrounding area. the drone attack attempting to target the ai

the day of the senator's death president johnson sent letters to the president of the senate and the speaker of the house. which urgently implored congress to enact a meaningful and effective gun control law. what in the name of conscience will it take? to pass a truly effective gun control law this hour of tragedy that question should at last be answered. let us now spell out our grief. in constructive action during the month of june as he had done throughout the entire period of his incumbency the president continued to members of congress to stop the senseless criminal violence resulting from easy access to guns. on june 10 the president convened the national commission on the causes and prevention of violence. gathered in the east room the special panel, which would come to be known as the eisenhower commission after its chairman, dr. milton eisenhauer. included members from across section of american life church government education and labor and my charge to you. is simple and direct? i ask you to undertake a penetrating search. for the causes and the prevention of violence. a

president biden has a long relationship with president netanyahu. i hear the pain in his voice. it's not about policy or strategy. it personal for us and personal for the american people with their bonds with the israeli people. so president biden has seen and felt the deep emotional resonance of this. he's held a conviction that his job as president is to make sure that he has the clarity of mind and purpose to take the actions necessary so we're standing with israel in its hour of need, so we're working to deter a widening of this conflict. so we're getting israel the tools that it requires to defend itself. yeah. >> thank you, jake. you laid out all of the ways that iran is complicit in this and facilitated it over years of support for hamas. is that reason enough to refreeze the $6 billion that the u.s. helped unlock for them to get in exchange for the prisoners? >> we have not yet had a dollar of that $6 billion spent and i will leave it at that. >> will you refreeze it based on this activity that you just laid out, all of the ways they're complicit in this? the administrat

i travelled with president biden to israel both when he was vice president and president. can tell you that he and netanyahu have an incredibly direct and candid relationship. he will spend a lot of time on this trip listening but also again, being very forthcoming and direct in his advice. so, you know, for the president, we'll see whether there are tangible accomplishments that, yeah, he can walk away from this 24, 36, 48 hours and point to over the long term i think what he's showing is that american presence, american guidance is meaningful on the world stage. i think that's a function of his experience and his time dealing with these kinds of crises in office. he will hopefully help provide a steadying hand. as bobby said and you laid out, this isn't without risk. obviously this is a moment where he is inserting the united states into what is likely to be a protracted conflict and certainly risk comes with that. but, the calculation here is that his presence, his guidance and the full force of the united states can help move things in a productive direction. >> kate,

the president, as president as commander in chief has difficult decisions to make. difficult decisions to make on behalf of the american people. the admiral talked about how there is a national security piece to this as well. we have, as we all know, americans, 27 americans, who have sadly perished. and many are still missing. 17 are still missing. it is the president's duty as commander in chief to do everything that he can to protect us and to also assist in this horrific, horrific event we saw this weekend. reporter: my question is more does he feel his party is supporting him? or does he sense division? karine: i can't speak to -- we are not sensing division. the president is focusing on the job at hand. the president is going to always focus and make sure that americans and our national security is front and center. this is part of that. but also israel is a friend. what they have gone through, the people of israel have gone through these past couple days is horrific. we are going to stand by them as the president has said. as they go through this terrible time

president. the presiding officer: the the presiding officer: we are in a quorum. mr. barrasso: i come to the floor today to talk about the need for more american energy. joe biden's policies are destructive to our nation, and that's because he continues to put liberal priorities first and america last. so last week the biden administration agreed to ease oil sanctions on nicolas maduro's brutal socialist regime in venezuela. let's be clear -- i want to be clear about what's going on here. venezuela gets to produce more oil. mr. president is putting venezuela's'ian oil production ahead of -- venezuela on-oil production ahead of american oil production. he's prioritizing venezuelan energy workers ahead of wyoming and american energy workers. our energy workers at home are rightly asking, when is joe biden going to ease the sanctions that he has put on american energy production? because since one american oil,n natural gas, american coal producers have been in the president's crosshairs. he refuses to change course even when gas prices skyrocketed. well, biden certainly

the us president _ humanitarian aid to gaza. the us president is _ humanitarian aid to gaza. the us president is now heading back to the us after offering unwavering american support to israel and warning against acting on rage. the white house says intelligence shows israel was not behind the gaza hospital explosion but many arab countries continue to blame an israeli air strike. the death toll in gaza surpasses 3000. voice-over: live from our studio in singapore, - this is bbc news. it's newsday. hello and welcome to the programme. we begin with the israel gaza war and news of a deal to allow aid into the palestinian territory, where more than i palestinian territory, where more thani million people need food, water, as well as medicines, and a short while back, egypt did confirm that it will open what it called a sustainable aid corridor through the rafah crossing into gaza. the announcement comes after a visit to israel by the us president, and whatjoe biden called a very blunt negotiation, to get as many aid trucks into gaza as possible. president buys and is now on his

prime minister netanyahu meeting the president on the tarmac before president biden then met with the israeli war cabinet. but the president also talked about the suffering in gaza, saying most palestinians are not hamas. and he spoke of the horror at that hospital, hundreds feared dead. new video circulating online, the moment of that hospital blast, hundreds of displaced palestinians were, of course, taking shelter there. the president says the evidence he's been shown so far indicates it was an errant rocket by a terrorist group inside gaza. the badly damaged area of the hospital, burned vehicles, but military experts tonight say so far, no significant structural damage that would be consistent with an air strike from israel. but many across the region do not believe that. anger growing tonight. the alarming scene outside the u.s. embassy in beirut, lebanon, condemning israel, condemning the u.s., as well. we will take you to beirut tonight. there's also news this evening on aid to the palestinian civilians caught in this. tonight, after his meetings and calls with other leaders, p

made him president. wouldn't have been president if he hadn't made the turnaround. but as president and i can attest this because i was there in the white house, he wrote 60 to 90 books a year serious books and biography, history. he was reading that kind of stuff all the time. he had a reading contest with karl rove, and he would have authors into the white house. and these historians would just marvel at how much he'd read. but you wouldn't know that from watching tv in the bush days or watching will ferrell's impersonation of him on saturday night live, or from reading the newspapers. that's not how he was depicted. in fact, he was asked in a debate, what is the thing that you hate the most or you dislike the most? and he said, reading a public policy book or something like that, i mean, he actually offered that as something that he did not like to do. when you're saying he actually did it all the time. right. but possibly if i think he was kind of being clever there, he did like to read biography and history. he didn't really necessarily like to read the latest

president trump passed and the bill president obama passed.n you have zero to negative interest rates, you cannot run a balanced budget. and you cannot start cutting spending without making the economy worse. but when you do have interest rates, you have to deal with your debt issue or otherwise you spend more and more money paying interest on the debt and you do not have anything left for education and health and science research. first, it is nuts to make a big issue of this debt limit thing. that says -- it is a stupid rule we have in america that congress has to approve twice paying for something they have already voted to spend on. a lot of these people opposing raising the debt ceiling voted for most of the debt that is embedded there. bottom line -- we should bring the deficit down as much as we can, but we ought to pay our debts. you cannot spend money, borrow it, and refuse to pay the people who loan it to you. not if you want to be a great country.
