let's just begin with, richie su, next comments. all the country will experience profound economic challenges. he seems to be preparing the ground for some pretty difficult choices for not only is government and the reality that the british public will find difficult perhaps to swallow in the coming weeks. yes, he does. i mean that you know, that there are profound economic challenges and the cost of living and energy crisis, which is not only grew up in the u. k, but also more broader problems for the u. k. economy. ah, labor shortage is due to skill shortages are and then general challenges of managing that transition drew away from the ear. so these are all actually sort of confluence thing for the time being and making that even more difficult. and indeed ma'am, you know, inflation is hovering around 10 percent. we haven't seen that for a couple of decades in the u. k. add to that the fact that he also has to try and be no men to fracture tory party. but in terms of the fiscal responsibility, it's all very well to talk about spe

to the richie boys and we remain inspired. by their unmatched bravery resilience patriotism and strength the the award the richie boys are receiving is named after the late elie wiesel my dear friend. he and my father are the two people who most awakened my consciousness to the evils of the holocaust and the obligation we have as a as a consequence to never forget. in honor of the richie boys, may we all carry forth the lessons of the last centuries most heinous crime? the shower and may we recommit ourselves every day? to bearing witness and to upholding dignity justice and democracy for future generations in america and around the world. we will never forget our moral obligation to freedom. and the sacrifices the richie boys made to protect it. may god bless you all and may god protect all those who continue to serve our great nation. signed joseph biden now let's hear from some of those heroes. what was it like for you leaving? not the germany escaping as a -- in the next time you go back to your it is to fight those guys l

the fact is that richie neil is the chairman of the ways and means committee. as such, he is such an advocate for our country. his personal life is something that i always like to call attention to. as the chairman of ways and means, he has a great deal to say about survivor benefits on social security and the rest and he knows that well. because he lived it. his family lived it. he is there for america's working families. america's families who are impoverished by the loss of a loved one. the breadwinner in the family and the rest. i can't even believe they would say about the tax returns. richie neil has been completely strong and tough-minded on this. we are at the mercy of the court. he has been very strong and how he is going forward. he could not do anything more. in fact, when we win this election, and we have a new president of the united states in january, and we have a new secretary of the treasury, and richie neil asks for the president's returns, then the world will see what the president has been hiding all this time. in terms of dealing with the c

hayden up there in the box with this is richie while lionel richie perform. is that a fun evening for you? it was wonderful because in one of the previous gershwin award concerts, it was noted the master of ceremonies samuel jackson mentioned that it was bipartisan karaoke because these songs are popular. everybody knows the songs and they're singing along and that unity in what it demonstrates to is that music can bring people together. and that was a great demonstration. you had everybody on their feet and everybody talked but singing and it was wonderful. so dr. hayden if somebody is listening or watching this interview and wants to be the 15th librarian of congress. what do you recommend to them? the first thing i'd recommend is going to the library's website llc.gov and just getting a sense of what is going on at the library now they can see our digital strategy our plan for the next 30 years. they can see what times of activities that are going on. they can really get a sense of the collections. and possibly then think about what would be the role of th

martin went back to richy, richy went back to him.ke i said, it would be offensive to anybody else who saw it, and that's what you have to kind of figure out what that context is. you know, the problem with stories like this, piers, i wish richie and jonathan came out a day or two after that. then we would know hey, what really happened here? what's the real story here? it's difficult now because obviously when i sat down with richie sat with lawyers. what we hear from jonathan martin, it will be worded down with lawyers, as well. i wish we knew. i was the first one who broke this story originally on fox football daily and fox sports 1 this happened and i heard from all sides immediately about it. you want to know the truth. the only way you find out the truth from talking to those two people directly, and then all the other teammates and everybody else in there. >> i mean, the most fascinating aspect of it, it seemed to me from the interview, is when incognito claimed that martin sent him a friendly text four days after he had left t

therefore richie sooner and lives for us, really, the candidates going forward, conservative party, and peace of spoken. now grassroots members will decide where the former chancellor richie sumac or forum secretary list trust should go on to be party leader. and britons next prime minister, both a divisive characters, both had the experience of high office trust promises what she calls a truly conservative economic agenda. tax cuts under hike in defense spending, find the person he can go in to number 10. i can hit glam running and i can get things done. soon. ack says he'll stabilize the economy, ease the cost of living crisis and when the next election. the question now for our members is, who is the best person to defeat care film or in the labor party at the next election? i believe on the only candidate who can do that. and there's a further distinction between the 2. while lease trust is seen as the candidate most likely to continue boris johnson's brand of populace politics, richie soon isn't popular in downing street where he's seen as having betrayed johnson, earning him the d

richie really epitomized everything that was good about cricket.ayer he was obviously a very successful player. he was the first person to get 200 wicketts and 2,000 runs. he was an unbeaten test captain. and obviously, post his playing careering with his broadcast career was even more successful. he was a voice and a personality that inspired millions around the world to love the game of cricket, to grow up and to grow up with the game and take par int in it. he's a colossal loss to international cricket. >> indeed. and talk about his style a little bit he was very laconic, wasn't he? he didn't waste word. >> he was a master of the english language. he was a man who knew when to say something and when the picture was enough to to say something. he was the master of the pregnant pause for a sec, and he was a man whose language colored our living rooms through the late '60s, when he gave up playing right the way through to the last time we saw him in england was the legendary series in 2005. the asher series when obviously, that was a fitting end to

he will then summon richie sooner to the palace and ask him to form a government. he will come back here and make some remarks before getting back to what no, we had from him to day after he won the election at to become the leader of the conservative party. there was nothing specific in there that you wouldn't normally hear from someone who just won that sort of election. but there was a warning note that the united kingdom is facing some real economic troubles. and that will be top of his agenda. he realizes, people across the country are suffering from the cost of living crisis, from double digit inflation. every time they go to buy their weekly shop, it seems to becoming more expensive. and of course we're just about to enter winter here in the u. k. and people's energy bills are going to go up and up significantly . so he's got a lot of what to do. he's got a team to put in place, unlikely to change 2 of the key cabinet positions that of interior minister, the home secretary, and also the chancellor. the exchequer, who is of course, the finance minister. when

mark richie told me whoever the supreme court justice voted, he voted, because he was keeping track of the votes. he said whatever he says is fine with me. so they agreed 96% of the time, these five people who are very different, appointed by different people, or elected and in some ways, i think these -- one of the big are surprises for minnesotans, these people did the straight and narrow. let me tell you about another surprise that i'm sure wasn't written about before the book and that is the role of the obama campaign in the franken campaign and the role was, they didn't have any and one reason why people think, you know, franken lost. that first time around or franken didn't get the margin that he should have. he certainly lost from the amount of votes that barack obama did by 12 percentage points. obama wins the state by 54% and franken by 42% and that is a huge, huge gap. maybe it was franken's baggage that he brought in and maybe it was obama's understanding that he was going to win the state. people who know say that if obama would have spent an hour at the twin cities airport

richie's narrative expands the novel's reach into the past."the washington post" notes, richie quote, is the agonized spirit of a boy who was in prison when southern jails were essentially a system of legalized slavery. as ward further explained, parchment was basically a big plantation in the 1930s and the 1940s, and the prisoners were rented out to regional industrial barons to be slaves. richie recounts with juvenile pride his success and minor thievery to feed his family but his crime, not surprisingly for anyone who knows anything about the south during this period, is punished with brutality by the authorities rather than viewed with compassion. richie is sentenced to work the fields of parchment, where he endures beatings and rape. caught up in another inmate's escape attempt, richie is haunted with thoughts. at the end of the novel, pop finally confesses to jo jo that it was he who sliced richie's throat to save him from the slow torture of being lynched by a white mob. like lady macbeth, pop can't erase the horror of this act, telling

richie is honorary. i don't expect you to understand because you're not black, but being a black guy, being a brother is more than just about skin color. it's about how you carry yourself. how you play, where you come from, what you've experienced, why do you think fellow players, some of -- this is -- this is very odd to me, and i think it's very odd to a lot of other folks who read that. what is that -- what does that even mean? an honorary black guy? >> it's murky. clearly, listen. he's a guy playing with a lot of black teammates and you could see a situation where words like the "n" word are thrown around among black players and maybe among richie incognito in that ca case. it's acceptable because he's one of us and one of the gang and it's a joking thing. there's no way for us to understand whatever the dynamic might have been. one thing that is interesting that a former opposing player of incognito, warren sapp said that he was called the "n" word by incognito during a game at one point and he thou
