[indistinct protestor shouts] [crowd cheering] [laughter] it's funny how cold weather can bring people together. so about a week ago as the temperature in the forecast was dropping, so was the length of this speech. it was getting shorter and shorter. so we decided to move it inside. so all i can tell you is sit back and get comfortable. [applause] we believe this is the first time in american history that in governor, any governor in our country has been sworn into office in a h

also engaging state agencies. everyone under the governor's direction, i am an appointed secretary of you, so working with the governor's office was critical to make sure everyone in state government could work together and keep regular communication going at the state level and when it came to preparing for threats, for problems we might encounter, working with federal partners and local partners in law enforcement. governor shapiro set up an election threat task force so when an issue arose, everyone knew who to contact and everyone new roles and responsibilities so there was no lag in terms of who do we talk to? in 2020, it was a lesson learned. when we perceived threats, who do i send them to? who is responsible for handling them so i can do my job running elections? that was beneficial. engagement on social and communications, we tried to get the porridge just right. there's is a range of approaches different states and counties have taken from being highly engaged like stephen richard, who i think the world

state of missouri. our kids, carol, michael, maggie and claire and our son-in-law scott was always there to support claudia and me. i'm so proud of each and every one of you. this is truly an emotional and humbling experience for our entire family. in the years ahead we will need your continued prayers and support, because there's a lot of work to be done, and because sadly, the word -- the world around us has grown more divided and cynical. for far too many people hard work has been replaced by handouts. the power of prayer is mocked. the contest of ideas is no longer a matter of right versus wrong but of good versus evil. political opponents cast each other as traders or criminals. i reject this. i believe we can work together without sacrificing our core beliefs. one of my life's mentors was a man named dave sinclair. he instilled to me that building relationships, standing for your values, relying on your faith, and finding a path to make something work is a good thing. my story is living proof that

did it to such a degree as the united states. and that's what's, that's what, that's american exceptionalism. that brings me to the monroe doctrine. would you talk about in your forthcoming book america, america? this was a doctrine created under us president, james monroe in 1823 as a response to latin american independence movements. uh, talked about this doctrine. how does it continue to influence us policy in the americas 2 centuries later? yeah, the actual monro docs and it was just a couple of paragraphs. and in james monroe and state of the union address and you know, when it would, they weren't even continuous paragraphs. they basically said the united states was going to recognize the independence of, of latin america, a south american nation, spanish american nations. and that it wouldn't, it wouldn't allow that re conquests by european powers. the latin americans liked that part they, they, they read it, they thought they were hearing a kind of anti colonial sentiment. they would not be a recall on his ation of, of the

the united states should not have allowed this to happen. the united states, run by a man that didn't know much -- i'm going to be very nice. run by an incompetent person, very incompetent person, should never have allowed this to happen. i have stopped many wars. i have stop the words nobody ever heard about. i stopped wars before they ever started. i could give you nations i will tell you right now that were probably going to work. i could tell you there's a nation thinking about going to war on something nobody in this room has ever even heard about. two smaller nations, but big -- still big.and i think i have stopped it. this should have never happened. pres. zelenskyy: just a second. about the negotiations. i want to tell you and i think everybody understands that ukraine, more than ukrainians, nobody wants to stop this war. it's understandable that two sides of the war, not russia and the united states, because this is not a war between russia and the united states but a war against ukraine and the ukrainian people, so these two sides

if the united states pulls out and it, it looks very much that the united states is in the process. now pulling out the conflict is over. it's done. and this is something that zalinski either does not understand yet was not willing to accept the task. but this is today's reality, and it was laid out in the oval office this afternoon for all to see. all right, you have on lindsey graham, who has been shared support or of, of ukraine throughout the war has come out on the side of trump. best buy the speaker listed president trump was in a very good mood. last night. somebody asked me, am i embarrassed about trump? i have never been more proud of the present. i was very proud of j. d, but standing up for our country, we want to be helpful. what i saw in the oval office was disrespectful. and i don't know if we can ever do business with zelinski again. door say now though, i'll ask the question now if you create a boss this last now or isn't, is just taking a huge gamble that the he things might ultimately pay off. what are you seeing, lizzie graham is one of the least effective members

ultimately, that is the job of the state department. the state department doesn't fight wars. it ends them. it tries to end them. and that's usually, by the way, celebrated. i mean, throughout history, i've watched presidents that bring about an end to wars and conflicts, and people celebrate that. they applaud it. i think we should be very proud and happy that we have a president whose prime objective is not to get into wars, but to prevent wars and to get out of wars. that is a very noble, laudable goal. everyone should be applauding it, and he should be given the space to do that, not undermined by demands that he call putin names or that we say things that impede the ability to conduct real diplomacy. as the vice president said today. >> to follow up on on what you just said a moment ago, are you saying that you have doubts that president zelenskyy wants this war to come to an end? >> what i have doubts about is whether he's willing to say and do the things that we need in order to get a negotiation. again, you guys, this has been going on for ten days. and, you know, to s

' words mattered more than the united states' actions. what makes america a good country is to engage in diplomacy. >> can i speak? >> yeah, sure. >> he occupied our parts -- big parts of ukraine, parts of east and crimea. so he occupied it on 2015. so during a lot of years -- i'm not speak about just biden, but those time was obama, president obama then president trump and then president biden and now president trump would stop him. but during 2015, nobody stopped him. he killed people, you know? pres. trump: 2015. >> 2014. pres. trump: was not here. -- i was not here. >> until 2022, the situation the same. people have been dying on the contact line. nobody stopped him. you know, that we had conversations with him, a lot of conversations, bilateral conversations. and he signed with me like with the new president in 2019, i signed with him the deal. i signed with him, macron and merkel, we signed cease-fire. cease-fire. all of them told me that he will never go. we signed him with guest contracts -- guest contracts, yes, but after that, h

but the united states. uh, at this point has uh, not tried to uh to make sure that all its vassal states would vote with, with the u. s. united states, uh, did not. uh, the, uh, the on the europeans did not give an order to reach vassals to use your language, to make sure that they aligned themselves with the matter with the new american position. the united states has just changed its own position. and is arguing, uh where, where, where do your p is about the wisdom of that position. so it's not, as it's not as simple as it does, it does it sometimes as, as, as it's something new. sometimes it looks also let me, let me underline one important issue. many of the country is of the, with the bricks group, including china and india. they did not vote with russia on that very important issue of the chinese of the in just abstain. they have their own reasons why they upstate, you know that, but they've always been abstaining on the on, on that issue of probably because of the issue of jo dory. busy integrity of

the opposite of what the united states president has stated?having the people in place. >> this is not something. >> happening in washington. it's your neighbors. >> retired scientists for the national oceanic and atmospheric administration is sounding the alarm as new layoffs under the trump administration have hit. the agency charged with forecasting whether americans rely on noaa, which includes the national weather service, every day for forecasts and storm warnings. it also monitors dangerous weather like fires and hurricanes, with tornado and hurricane season coming up, the firings may jeopardize the ability for the government to forecast and respond to extreme weather events like hurricanes, wildfires and floods. meanwhile, on the back end of trump's proposed cuts to fema and hud may further harm communities trying to recover from these disasters. joining me now is meteorologist and climate scientist chris langer. welcome, chris. i'm so glad to have you here. look, the mission between noaa and fema are intricate and intertwined in many r

the united states state department had a press release. that is no longer there, but we did archived this. it said that there were peaceful, biological laboratories in ukraine. to me, it's kind of strange that they put the words peaceful as if they were trying to deny something. normally you do not expect normal biological laboratories to be not peaceful. the general is joan dubin visited one center of the board tree. it was very safe to wait storage and basically they were both of trials on on suspension, launched an investigation to shortly alter the us government once again, denied it. so the board res existed in ukraine. on march the 10th 2022 pentagon press secretary, john covey made a special statement on the mass. so we are not developing bio, logical, or chemical weapons inside you. crank is not avenue. now people were starting to realize how disingenuous and untruthful the united states has been with a lot of these vile, the biological labs that have been in ukraine. they've been getting a lot of coverage there is. now i do have o

there is no into the lord means is rather still or the state of work with the palestinian. it means or we're going back to the genocidal acts on the ground. the many of this devastation of the people from serious people, the most deep sleep deep feel policy to the fire releasing the companies including the bodies on the inside the gulf stream alex simeon release it from is really not exact number. they've been agreed upon. many times and violated the agreement a lot of times compared to the. 2 sites that would lead me right now. these really are these really prime minister and his military are only interested in pushing for an extension rather than moving to freezing, which means going back door and doesn't have to be very consistent with the many statements by the other officials. and. and since that, as soon as the taxes are released, israel is going to redeem the war and that are that frightened people here still ahead on ology 0, the pain of exile will hear from the wife of the long as 7 palestinian prison of listed forces to egypt, the i had a lot of the weather turns

to fully implement a consent sense raced by that you had of states. and the 2nd one is about the agenda in boucher relations. as we know, the c, r marks, the eighteens the eighty's and the most array of the victories of the chinese people is full of resistance against the japanese of michigan. the soviet union is a great, substantial arctic well and the bald and 2 projects as well as well as eighty's and the most rail deformed the of the united nations. so in such a year of special historical significance, china, russian relations will definitely embrace a series of important attend. this should how, how would you assess the current level of partnership between these 2 economies? we just threw around a number of about $250000000000.00 approximately. what can you tell us? yes, as we mentioned the, the numbers actually all according to transfer, the customer states are released on january. the trade between china and russia. rates in rank high. and so here i want to say that china and russia have mentioned to know more trade and the trader violations. a

the same way with the 2 states, the state of palestine established alongside the state of israel, made peace with china just as you've done with russia. and then we have the chance truly for a golden age because we're the age of phenomenal technological advance. and our biggest threat is that continuing conflicts, the the, the people please then please let me put you through the, the window to pick those up. just good. so let me know if those are right and the order showing that we're in good shape, as i mentioned that enough for the 3 with a maybe even the 2. even though i still have an order for no reason to tell or should i just click on the news list, any slide was over on that is on key out of my breath mistress to ask you to a phone number or the sure. and then can you hear me to get the patients that what is the the stuff for the machine for the picture such as you the show this vehicle, is it the economic model have us for this problem next time and see if it doesn't fix it. so we came up august, even though is the new model of the old server. there's a compliance i'm doing whi

ohio state we were about harvard guys.eak customer good thank you preceptor the chairman we are over time it's up to you. >> you certainly may. >> thank youou very much. senator, the devil is always in the details. when i think of a light touch of think that's what weak countries are trying to do to pull business withha the strong countries that is what i saw happenul. we create basically a very good framework, smaller jurisdictions try to undercut us by having weaker rules. we basically had to work very hard to harmonize rules, which we did another swap market works pretty well. in the case of stable coins europe and japan are ahead of us they've implemented some very good frameworks. most of the things i'm suggesting today are in those frameworks. there may be a few things we can do a lot better currently before us with the genius act and stable act. >> thank you. thank you madame chairwoman for thank you for being here. anything from the internet to 5g digital assets and block chain particular in pennsylvania. it's our

the state of indiana. >> and that i will faithfully and impartially discharge the duties of the office of governor of the state of indiana. >> the office of governor of the state of indiana. to the best of my skill and ability, so help me god. [applause] >> madam chief justice, governor hogan, general, president pro tem, speaker houston, family, friends, fellow hoosiers, it is with immense gratitude that i stand before you to accept the honor of serving as indiana's 52nd governor. on such a momentous occasion, i must acknowledge both our state's witness toward history and bright future. for 208 years and counting, indiana has been a home for hard-working hoosiers, small business owners, aspiring titans of industry, teachers, nonprofit leaders, and many others. from the earliest days of our statehood, our settlers and immigrants were risktakers, trailblazers who built the state we recognize today. yes. they embark westward, seeking a new start, fertile land, freedom, and opportunity. through honest, hard wo

the united states will brook no criticism of vladimir putin in the oval office of the united states. the american president is only interested in dictating to ukraine the terms of its surrender to russia. and oh, by the way, give us half of your mineral rights on the way out. and what this means for europe and ukraine is that they are now on the other side of the negotiating table from the united states and russia. they are going to have to figure out what ukraine is going to try to live with. they're going to have to figure out what european troops might be a part of a security guarantee for ukraine. but more broadly, chris, as you were alluding to very accurately in your lead in the united states is now a part of the club. russia, china, the gulf arab autocrats. donald trump wants to live in a world of pure transactionalism in which might makes right and big and powerful and rich countries make deals over the heads of democracies, over the heads of vulnerable people. it's the mirror image of what he does at home. he's a bully. he doesn't pick on people his own size. he picks on peo

. >> yeah i mean look ukraine does need the united states. even if you've got european troops in ukraine they will need the united states, or air defense, rockets, artillery. this was a great opportunity to get things started. i think president trump saw this as a step-by-step process, where we would start with this rare earth mineral deal. tried to pursue a cease-fire and go from there. again, that mineral deal would give us a lot of economic commercial skin in the game and keep the united states involved. that's what ukraine needs. i would caution 1 thing. wars end when both sides are too exhausted to fight our when 1 side wins. we aren't at either 1 of those stages. it's almost as if we are trying artificially to impose a settlement in i'm not saying that's the wrong thing to do it's just extreme late difficult. >> trace: meantime the ball appears to be in zelenskyy's court. he was on special report tonight. did not want to apologize. does he fight to get back to the negotiating table? >> he has to and you are right he did not do himself a

united states. thank you america. >> ukraine is grateful to the united states for its overwhelming support. >> do you think you can make the argument that he hasn't said thank you? >> well, i think the vice president said he hadn't said it today. he hadn't heard it today in that meeting. and we were hoping that that meeting would begin by thanking you for everything you've done for us. we wouldn't be where we are today without you. we wouldn't even have a chance to negotiate a peace without the help you gave us, by the way, without the help you gave us when you were president in the first term, because president obama refused to provide them defensive capabilities in terms of military hardware, he did provide him blankets. >> and. >> he brought him humanitarian aid. but. well, but it was brought up. but i was there. in fact, i vividly recall at the time, vice president biden saying to me in a meeting that we had at the vice president's residence that the reason why we didn't want to provide them tho

than the president of the united states actions.kes america the good country is america engaging in diplomacy. that is what president trump is doing. >> what kind of diplomacy are you speaking about? what do you mean? >> i'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that will and the destruction of your company. mr. president, with respect, i think it is disrespectful for you to come to the oval office and try to litigate this in front of the american media. right now you were going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems. you should be thanking the president for coming into this conflict. and you think it's respectful to come to the oval office of the united states of america and attacked the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country? >> a lot of questions, let's start from the beginning. first of all, during the war, everybody has problems. even you. but you have a nice ocean and don't feel it. but you will feel it in the future. >> you don't know that. >> god bl

the european union was formed in order to square the states. that's the purpose of it, and they've done a good job of it, but now i'm president. and i want to understand this moment with the present, the united states is talking about your opinion, which has been a sort of center piece of success of us foreign policy for decades. and saying that your opinion was formed to screw the united states. what are your thoughts about this moment? this is amanda lands, the real, i mean, uh, your vin union was form to tracie of rome. uh, 1957. um, at the project of the united states, successive democratic republican friedman, eisenhower administrations. the marshall plan. you know, the greatest set of active aid in history to rebuild post for europe, america very, very wisely and skilfully conditioned aids to european countries on the degree to which they cooperated and hold. that result is, in other words, america helped create the european union for a very good reason that it would make war again on the continent impossible opening for at least very unl

you know, not only i think about my state where, yes, we have over 160,000 federal employees in the state of maryland, and that doesn't even include the uniformed personnel. that does not include the contractors. and i was standing with many of them today where we had a press conference about executive action that i was taking to make sure that our federal workers were supported. and we're talking about people, some of which who have been working and being public servants, true patriots now for decades, working for both democrat and republican presidents. and we're doing it not because of an affiliation to a political party, but we're doing it for a love of country and to watch how they are being disrespected and disregarded in this fashion is just deeply disrespectful. when we think about the patriotic nature that they bring to work every single day. >> and now you're announcing, governor, help on the way for some of the fired federal workers in your state. what exactly are you doing to help them? >> well, we've actually assigned five different pathways. uh, so not only are we increasing

in fact, states are hesitant to spend state dollars to protect federal dollars. chair greene: what greater investment in program integrity efforts yield a positive return for taxpayers? ms. royal: yes. it could easily be self funding. chair greene: both the biden and obama administrations issued rules and credits that made it harder for states to verify eligibility for medicaid. he said repealing biden's role restricts eligibility verification that states can perform. would you explain why this rule is so costly? mr. watson: the rule does a number of things. it prohibits states from verifying eligibility more than once a year. for nondisabled folks to say, are you still eligible for the program? it says you are forbidden from doing that anymore often than once a year. people's lives change and they may become ineligible. it prohibits in person or phone interviews to verify their identity. so, people apply for it and the person on the other end says, i want to call to make sure this is a real person. the rule prohibits doubt. there are a number of other provisions

why is the united states -- we have an ocean in between -- why is the united states in for so much more money and other things as europe? with that being said -- and as you said they've been very helpful. but we have put in far more than they have. and i think they should equalize. >> mr. president -- president trump: what changed between the first time that the secretary gave zelensky the agreement and today? president trump: we made a deal. i'm just -- i'm a business person. we made a deal, that's what changed. i didn't think we were going to make a deal. and we ended up making the deal. so that changed. >> how do you envision a trilateral -- >> well, they don't like each other, i can tell you that. they do not like each other. this is not a love match. it's unfortunate. the united states should not have allowed this to happen, ok? the united states run by a man that didn't know much. i'm going to be very nice. run by an incompetent person, very incompetent person should never have allowed this to happen. i've stopped wars. i've stopped many wars. people will tell you, i've stopped wa
