the cabinet was called -- they talked about putting a message together. the cabinet members shortly thereafter left, and roosevelt sat down at this desk to compose a message to the country. that message, interestingly enough, was not sent from buffalo, new york, but was actually sent to washington, d.c., so that his first proclamation as president didn't showed that it emanated from buffalo but actually from the nation's epic capital. despite the fact that roosevelt was a prolific writer, he actually composed more than 30 books in his lifetime, he struggled, as many writers do come with how to start this message to the country, both to express sorrow over the death of a very popular president, but at the same time to ease people's concerns and fears relative to this latest in a series of presidential assassinations. i should also mention the fact that, unlike other inaugurations, where there would have been an inaugural address by the president, roosevelt had no opportunity to do that. so another dimension of this aqua mission to the country was it actual

>> confirmed, i would be the first native american to serve as cabinet secretary. the historic nature of my confirmation is not lost on me but i will say it is not about me most of rather, i hope this nomination would be an inspiration for americans moving forward together as one nation and creating opportunities for all of us. amy: interior secretary nominee deb haaland testifies before the senate in her bid to become the first native american cabinet secretary in u.s. history. but she faced harsh questioning from senators over her past criticism of fossil fuel projects. we will speak to native american journalist julian brave noisecat . then we go to a refugee camp on the u.s. border in matamoros, mexico, where asylum seekers have had to brave freezing weather while living in tents as -- and we will also look at the biden adnistration's reversal of trump's remain in mexico policy. >> we remember when we arrived to the immigration office in mexico. they did not give us a place to sleep or anything to eat. we slept on the floor that night. amy: all that and more, c

it's why the outgoing cabinet shows up and incoming cabinet shows up members of congress on both sides come. um, this is our us government and and this is an important simple and and and why these traditions matter. john will give you the last word. you know listen to the british system. it's a monarch. all ceremonies are tied from the monarch the government speaks in the form of the monarch. we don't have a monarchy and we have a president. they serve for very short periods of time, you know, two terms by any standard and governing that's a pretty short period of time but it gives a degree of transparency to our government. i i would fear the day which i i have to say right now. i think we're at that moment that we end up adopting a sort of parliamentary type government to where one administration changes the next one comes in and there's just a wholesale removal of everything and a transfer of everything. it is in the continuity of our government that holds things that i think are most sacred americans and i for one believe, you know the ability for americans to come together and wor

mario draghi's cabinet will be sworn into office this saturday.et's go to our correspondent and rome -- in rome who is following the latest developments. this is a new prime minister who has some rather broad support. >> yes, he does. clearly, mario draghi forming the 67th government since world war ii here in italy, and it is really across the board. he took about 10 days, two rounds of consultations before coming together with this. clearly, he does have those numbers, a broad parliamentary majority. what you are seeing now, officials deciding to work together. you have the largest party in parliament deciding to get on board together with representatives of former prime minister silvio berlusconi's party. this is a party they have sworn in the past not to have anything to do with, but they have decided to go ahead and approve members of the party. it actually comes down to confidence votes that are expected next week in parliament, but that sai even if there are members who oppose, mr. druggie does have the numbers in parliament. some 60% of pe

and most presidents lose at least one cabinet secretary.ost three for health and human services. so this is not all that big of a surprising deal. but in the moment it is a big deal. they like neera tanden. ron klain especially likes neera tanden. >> it's a big deal for the personnel and just for the idea that anything controversial because the divides are so close. so if you get one, then republicans are going to think they can get more and democrats who are trying to get more out of the white house are going to say we can get more as well. jeff does raise a good point. mean tweets were a trade mark for four years of president trump. republicans usually just run down the halls when you try to ask them a question and not answer it. this is senator john cornyn, i'm going to say right up front there's a lot of hypocrisy here. but listen. >> my friendly advice to president biden is to withdraw neera tanden's nomination and select someone who at the very least has not promoted wild conspiracy theories. >> uh-huh. so we should withdraw the trump

prime minister just said because administration collapsed dragging it out his proposal for a new cabinet which includes both outside experts and seasoned politicians effects of the coronavirus pandemic can spark a deep recession in italy and drag his new government will be in charge of planning the distribution of over 200000000000 euros in grants from the european union and 19 recovery. i asked journalist seen a group in rome what we could expect from the new prime minister. well he will actually be sworn in later today and then he will present his policy plan in the houses of parliament next week to a vote of confidence that we expect to be a formality and we'll go through that we'll have a clearer idea then but what he said so far it's very clear it's both the health as well as the financial crisis that the country is facing now up until now more than 93000 italians have lost their lives to cope at 19 and the vaccination program is really a priority both heat as well as president surges matter relative highlights that it started out well but it's been stalled in some regions in italy

all we do know that out of the $23.00 cabinet positions 15 have gone to political figures across the political spectrum so it's going to be interesting to see how they work together but some key ministries it's interesting point since that important finance minister is an individual a technocrat from the bank of italy and so clearly he wants someone in that key position to to get to work immediately on those key issues and then of course we also have this new ministry of ecological or green transition so maybe that will give you. an idea of how he's going to spend that 200000000000 euros on top of that 7 of the ministers. of the previous government he issue the health minister dealing with the pandemic ok. thanks so much for that insight and we turn a bonus think of football now and 2nd place live seacoast a sport friday evening had a chance to move within 4 points of league leading byron with a win and they managed it for a bit of controversy in bone chilling temperatures. there were few places colder in a bundled up germany than leipsic minus 10 degrees celsius before kickoff with

lots of movement on president biden's cabinet nominees, on the covid relief effort. one of those days where it seems like you're trying to watch a dozen different story lines at once. the major event of the day at the u.s. capitol, still under lockdown, surrounded by national guard troops in the wake of the january 6th attack on the capitol, today was the first investigation. the first congressional hearing into what happened that day. what went wrong at the capitol on january 6th that allowed the pro trump violent mob to storm the capitol building, interrupt the certification of the election, and come within just steps of the lawmakers in the building that day, whose blood the mob was crowing for. today, two senate committees took testimony from the officials in charge of the capitol security that day. should i tell you, we'll speak to the chairs of both of those committees this hour. the witnesses at today's hearing were the acting chief of the d.c. metropolitan police who took over that job just four days before the january 6th attack. as well as three officials w

so members of the new cabinet most of them are from the former rebel groups which signed that you will be sick and you know job of last year so this new reshuffle is part and parcel of the peace agreement. it's not very inclusive in terms of gender inclusion but is inclusive in terms of and regional and ethnic conclusion which is a great sight to see and however there are 2 major rebel groups that haven't signed that it will be secure in sanaa therefore not part of the new government and specifically add the right of that element and. and hello and they are the biggest rebel groups they have the biggest number of the largest number of combatants and so on and their lack of inclusion is actually a real problem how will they be into that in in the future will it require another maybe a competing peace agreement how will this you shuffle lead to more stability is unknown all right that is can she's talking to us from sudan thank you couldn't quite hear from you thank you. tens of thousands of children are estimated to be recruited and used by aunt groups of around the world united nations

did not enable him to remove a cabinet member and his actual cabinet member which was a secretary were stanton without the consent of the congress the interesting facts here is that. to tell me 1928 sure congress me for the supreme court ruled that. that law was unconstitutional and the president johnson was well within his rights to remove a member of his cabinet his own cabinet this is this is all about whether or not the majority party which has never really liked donald trump as we can all admit to that i mean there's not any democrat that's going to come out and say i liked trump in the ministration and i have one question though. of course democrats are not going to say that they like democrats that they like donald trump you know it is political clashing if you will but do the democrats actually have a point when they allege that trump bears responsibility for the violence because of his publicly contesting the election result publicly saying that it wasn't going to be valid unless he won even suggesting former vice president pence could block acceptance of some of the electoral

like most of president biden's cabinet nominees, his nomination is also history making. he will be the first latino and first immigrant to hold the top job at d.h.s. i look forward to confirming mr. and we have a second outstanding nominee to confirm today as well. pete buttigieg for secretary of judge for secretary of etary of transportation. mister buttigieg is known to many as mayor pete and demonstrated april impressive familiarity with our nations entire transportation challenges. challenges which are pronounced in states like my own. or projects like the gateway tunnel, our top national priority. i know mister buttigieg is committed to working with members from both sides to improve rail and transit, highways and more in urban centers and everywhere in between. i'm excited to call him secretary pete by the end of the day. getwith him immediately on helping the mta, the nation's largest transit network in the country and moving gateway forward after years of cynical obstruction in the trump administration . on covid. even as we continue to confirm president biden's

it may even get close to passing the senate before the full biden cabinet is confirmed. the first big legislative effort, of course, is the covid relief bill. it is steaming ahead. it's looking more and more like it's going to get zero republican support, despite the bill's wide support by the republic -- excuse me, by the public, by republicans and independents and democrats who support this bill by a large margin. it is republicans on capitol hill who appear uniform in their opposition to it. that means that it will likely have to pass with only democratic votes. that is possible as long as democrats are able to pass it through a process in the senate that's called reconciliation. well, that process has some limits. there are rules within the senate as to what type of policy is allowed to be passed under that process, and tonight we are still waiting on word as to whether or not the covid relief bill will be allowed to incorporate a rise in the minimum wage. president biden and democrats have called for a $15 an hour minimum wage. that would give 27 million american wo

well this new cabinet which is made up of $26.00 ministries and like the previous cabinet which had only 20 is said to include or does indeed include members from various political parties and from the armed groups that signed a peace agreement with the transitional government in the last year so this government is seen as a more representative government government a broader government but the challenge is also bigger which is why the prime minister describes the coming stage of sudan's transition as challenging as a new stage needing new faces and new policies unlike the previous cabinet where he said people were based on their experience a technocrat government this government is largely built on political politicians and we see that in the nomination or rather the member of cabinet for the foreign ministry's position which is the daughter of the former head of the party the biggest opposition party. so she will be the foreign minister of the country of course there are a lot of challenges facing the country the biggest being the economy there has been several protests in various part

from senators on energy policy if she is confirmed that hollande will be the 1st native american cabinet secretary she says she will need to strike a balance between energy needs and conservation in her role overseeing national parks and native reservations but republicans say her views on the environment are quote extreme so why is it so significant to have a net of native american woman leading that the partment of the interior well the vast agency oversees 200000000 hectares of public land and more than 300 native american reservations in the past that the partment repeatedly reduce the size of reservations broke treaties and force that native americans into the pendency many hope that harlan's position managing natural resources will give native americans a stronger voice in government her nomination has been praised by either the co to see you who led the 2016 protests against the planned gas pipeline through their land if confirmed i would be the 1st native american to serve as cabinet secretary this is storied nature of my confirmation is not lost on me but i will say it's not abo

and they went at each other every day at cabinet meetings.jefferson once said that they were like to fighting in the ring and after he became president, jefferson did, he, again he did everything he could to dial back that sort of regal atmosphere, both in the way he conducted the government and also the way he presented himself and was kind of bound and determined to defeat hamilton i seesaw it. and irony, i think by the way, the way things are different then than they are now, jefferson kept a bust of hamilton in his study at for monticello the rest of his life. so even though they were blood enemies, he respected him and knew what a brilliant man he was and that he had a very respectable point of view. it just wasn't jefferson's point of view and rather than demonize each other, they actually respected, if not admired each other. >> madison famously held a lot of social events, very elaborate events at the white house, subsequently after thomas jefferson's presidency. did you encounter in your research, any information about any of the cha

you are the first openly gay cabinet member to serve a sitting u.s. president. regrettably late but historic nonetheless. i'd be curious to know if you thought at all about younger lgbtq americans looking at you a as a role model and a ceiling breaker. >> you know, my hoped is younger lgbtq americans by the time they're old enough to be in a position like this will find that it's not even a big deal. but we got a long way to go from here to there. and i couldn't help but think when i was being sworn in not just about the things that have changed in my lifetime like the repeal of don't ask, don't tell, but others who can remember things like the so-called lavender scare of the 1950s when people lost their jobs not as a cabinet officer or soldier but just as a bookkeeper or astronomer simply because of who they loved. that he history is recent and is with us and we are changing it right now in the biden/harris administration. >> i assume you would be voicing against the lack of diversity and inclusion in all departments of government and your own department in ter

. >>> of course, the president's still filling out his cabinet. he's had seven secretaries approved. tonight, there is a new sign one key nomination is running into a roadblock thrown up by a fellow democrat. tonight, it is senator joe manchin, democrat, west virginia, saying he won't vote to confirm neera tanden to lead the office of management and budget. manchin cited negative comments about republicans, that tanden made while running the left-leaning think-tank, center for american progress. democrats, of course, can't believe a biden nominee is in trouble for mean tweets in effect after four year of what we all had to witness from trump's phone. the problem is in an evenly dividing senate, there is no room for even one democratic defection, without republicans coming over to the other side. the president says he has no plans to withdraw this nomination. but he may, soon, be facing more resistance to a different nominee. that would be merrick garland. he was denied a seat on the supreme court, famously, by mitch mcconnell during the obama pres

the one today and the one last night -- last month on a waiver for a cabinet member. this is the least productive congress since last year. i thought that would be hard to beat. there's nothing for workers who have lost their jobs. including thousands of blue collar jobs that were eliminated just by a stroke of a pen of pride. even laying off the union -- president biden. even laying off the union workers who endorsed him. it's a shame. they need that job. it's a good paying job. nobody sat and talked to him before or asked them. they just laid them off. nothing for students who have been stuck learning from behind screens for nearly a year. even though the administration's c.d.c. director says in-person learning is safe. nothing to increase the pace of vaccine distributions so we can get them to people who want them and get one step closer to fully reopening this economy. at a time when households are already struggling, congress should use its window of opportunity to get americans back to work. get kids back to school. and vaccines for any american who wants it. th

let's talk about this cabinet situation broadly.g down on tanden's nomination, just because it seems abundantly clear that there isn't a moderate republican who's going to be willing to raise their hand and save her nomination, but they have some concerns with other picks as well that may be playing into this. what's your latest reporting? >> so, i asked that same question about tanden to someone close to the white house, you know, why double down on this? why not, you know, people are privately acknowledging they don't have a 50th vote somewhere. there was some talk about senator portman maybe getting behind her at some point, you know. that does not appear to be happening. there is no indication that she has enough votes to get confirmed, so why not just pull the nomination? the person said to me, there's not really any up side for the white house in doing that at this point. maybe it could move the process along by putting someone else up there, you know, but it would just upset her supporters, it would upset progressives and the

his presidency began with an empty cabinet.cabinet nominees were confirmed before he took the oath of office. since then the senate has confirmed just seven of his 23 cabinet picks. you see them there. that's the lowest number of any president in decades, and a big factor in that was the torrent of election conspiracy theories that delayed the transition, as well as last week's impeachment trial. last night senator joe manchin announced he would oppose confirming nira tan den (. in a 50/50 senate, his vote is critical. now the president needs to win over at least one republican vote to secure this nomination or con virm joe manchin to change his mind. this week there are two hearings to keep an eye out for. javier bacera and judge merrick garland subpoena for attorney general. one thing president biden can do on his own executive orders. he signed more than 50 of them in his first month. at times, the orders seemed less like a to do list and more like an undo list. 20 of them reversed his predecessor's policies. most address th

yes. handful of cabinet ministers have actually seen the details.. as — actually seen the details. yes, my department, as the _ actually seen the details. yes, my department, as the departments l actually seen the details. yes, my. department, as the departments of communities and local government is quite heavily involved in the preparations, so we have been involved in the discussions and there will be further meetings with ministers and the cabinet in the coming days before the publication on monday, but understandably, there is a desire to ensure that this is kept to a relatively small number of people so that the prime minister can announce this to the country, to parliament, on monday, which is the right way to handle an important announcement like this. the prime minister has _ announcement like this. the prime minister has said _ announcement like this. the prime minister has said he _ announcement like this. the prime minister has said he wants - announcement like this. the prime minister has said he wants to - announcement like this. the p

. >> kelly, what about confirmations, getting the cabinets in place?t importantly, of course, merrick garland given national security and all of the problems the fbi and other domestic issues of law enforcement. he's now set for the 22nd, 23rd next tuesday for hearings. it's five years since when he first the tried to get a hearing as he was nominated for the supreme court. >> extraordinary twist he could not have imagined when he was nominated at the high court he could at this juncture be giving up a lifetime federal appointment and going for attorney general. typically it is -- and we've seen it play out here too, the national security piece of the cabinet is confirmed first so the attorney general is the big next department that needs confirmation. and especially as we have been talking about donald trump, the attorney general in a biden administration could potentially have decisions to make about any potential future criminal impact on any of the enterprises associated with donald trump. merrick garland, of course, is a figure who is getting a ra

was sworn in he has now become more secure is he can find he has people with him in the cabinet nowwho are able to shoulder the strain of the transition including the very unpopular economic reforms such as that in the subsidies and the unification of the exchange rate and the government needs to have the currency in order to trigger the economic support to come in from the low band from biological donors but they want to shore up its reserves in the central bank to the tune of about 300 and $50000000.00 this is led to claim that it's actually the government that is steve actually buying up dollars on the part of markets and then therefore driving up the exchange rate and the prices. it's an enviable catches to situation to be in but the longer it takes for the government to pull the trigger the worse it will be for the most vulnerable what doc has now is a fine new finance minister who's actually drawn from a rebel in the mint and is also in the rebel justice and equality movement is now part of the government and he's an islamist to do it which means that he now feels that he has

judy: senator, i want to ask about president biden's nominees for his cabinet. them seem to be moving through smoothly but if you are running into opposition, in particular the nominee for the office of management and budget. you said you know her, you support her mom about as you know, republicans are saying they don't like the nomination, even a democrat is saying he won't vote for her. the republican argument that she has been to partisan, to negative -- too partisan, tune -- too negative in her tweets, some people are saying republicans are being hypocritical. >> it is a double standard. there are plenty of trump nominees i supported that frankly set a lot of really bad things -- said a lot of really bad things. if you use that as a reason not to confirm people, i pick it is important to be consistent and think back to what you did for some of the nominees president trump put forth. neera tanden speaks her mind and i like that. i hope she gets confirmed because i think she gets -- she is a talentedady who will do a marvelous job. hopefully we will get her co
