congress and only congress has the power to declare war even though the president may call for a declaration of war. and when the united states is involved in international agreements the senate is all important, for example the signature of our secretary of state to the united nations charter. had to be approved by a two-thirds majority of the senate. a clause in the constitution states that treaties are made by the president but only with the advice and consent of the senate. from the capital we went down pennsylvania avenue for a look at the white house. that's where the president lives. the white house represents the executive branch of the government. before he got through i could see why uncle jim said that the president has the biggest and toughest job in the world. yes, bill. the white house is both the home and office of the president. the president is chosen by the people through the electoral college. some of the presidents' duties are set by the constitution others are established by laws treaties president and public opinion. the president's main job is to take care of the law s

congress knows that. congress was aware of that in 1996 when it enacted this -- this provision, and there is no indication that congress intended the safety valve here to be contiguous territory return. justice kagan: well, what are the numbers with respect to that, both now and in the past, in terms of the percentage of people who are stopped or encountered or, you know, arrested at the border -- think of those as synonyms, i didn't mean to -- versus the number that you can detain? general prelogar: so let me give you a -- a sense of the current numbers. i'll point to the recent monthly reports that we've been filing in accordance with the district court's reporting requirement of the injunction. the most recent numbers are from march 2022. at that juncture, dhs apprehended about 220,000 people at the border. there were -- that was the number of border encounters. at that point in time, dhs was appropriated for a little under 32,000 detention beds, counting some covid restrictions, some court restriction

guest: the congress -- host: the congress to give them a clear guidance. guest: congress can't say we want you to create a trade system and we want you to give you the authority. another thing they can do, anyway cabin trade system and pricing on carbon. there are solutions out there to address congress change. host: i cannot think of many things more frightening. what do you think of that? guest: sort of the point that the majority in the case made is that these decisions that come down from agencies, they need to point to a specific provision. back in 2009, congress considered a bill and they did not enact it that was a single to the majority that congress has to consider these and they did not give the authority for that. host: what does this decision mean for every regulatory agency in washington? guest: the seven plea on these rules that have massive full-court applications. the vast majority of those will be affected by this but in instances of climate change, we may see further respect from the court. one thing that comes immediately is -- to put in

congress needs to tell them what to do. she has implied they have told them what to do given that there was a spring court decision to regulate greenhouse emissions. the majority in the case made, these decisions that come down for agencies come out they need to -- provide a specific provision of law. back in 2009, congress considered the cabin trade will. they did not enact it. that was the signal to the majority that congress had considered these in they do not give the a authority to do that. host: what does this decision mean for every other revelatory agency in washington? guest: they need to be careful that they have the proper authority to do if they want to do. specifically on these rules have massive economic complications. the vast majority of rules will not be affected by this because there are statutory's for them. there's a lot of change we might see further pushback from this court. one things that come to mind, security and exchange commission, requiring companies to put in their environmental impact and clim

congress is not done so here. second the words congress did use in the context replace them in section 111 traditional. together kate statutory terms, like the requirement standard before individual sources and focus on their performance so that congress did not greenlight the transformative power. and finally, stanek is no reason to avoid the merit pay were injured by a judgment that brings back to life a rule that hurts us and hits off the books or rules that benefit us. the argument their burden to show epa voluntary station and stay are not in the case they are not. we are asking for the classic appellate relief of doing undue with the court plugs at this court has full power to give it. the issues at stake confirm it should. in contrast, epa's important but environmentally focused role, congress and the state are able to weigh all of the competing factors and constituencies in play. the lower court was wrong to short-circuit the process here in the court should reverse pretty welcome the questions. >> you sta

at this point, i don't bear is at sign congress can do -- there is much congress can do. there's also been talk about a potential gas tax holiday and nancy pelosi came up strong against that and save the concern is that if we were to get rid of this tax, there was nothing to require gas companies to pass savings to consumers. one of the reasons we haven't seen the legislation even though president biden has called for it host: i want to ask you of all congress is doing for ukraine but i want to show this. the ambassador to the united states from ukraine -- we will listen to what she has to say. >> it is very telling about what has been there for the past eight years. ukraine acted in good faith and tried everything possible and impossible to end the war and returned the sovereignty. similar to 151 days, we are defending strong and at the same time, we will find any options to resolve the crisis. it is like the food crisis russia has created. we will do anything to perform and fulfill. when russia violates it, it shows who they are. >> is russia violating it because i name

lussier deal with in congress. >> is you have foreshadowed she does change in congress. she does adjust to think for either of you do you think she's lost any of that led strategic. think it goes back to including her partner come from a very texts world you're always iterating and shifting going from yourhi experiences. and may help shift like making things very radical something with the due deal. she's not getting any friend she realized if she wants to she's going to have to adapt. in her being yet another politician. maybe it iss strategic. she came to congress that was really young. by outsiders who believed it being outsiders. so they came into congress is a lot of outsider swagger. they were empowered by that. that is what got her elected. i think there is a moment where she started to understand you cannot be an outsider forever. just by virtue of being a member of congress for two years but you're no longer an outsider. your eating what should people is very hard to maintain that status. you have to figure out how to retain this kind of moral line because that

what has congress been doing? guest: congress has been doing a number of things. these big transformative bills would be transformative for a number of americans and we have overlooked some of the smaller things we are able to get done. even when you think about the gun legislation that passed the house, it is the biggest gun legislation in 30 years but when you compare it to what democrats initially wanted, it is just a drop in the bucket. that is the reality of governing right now in a senate that is divided 50-50 in the house where you only have a handful of votes at the margins, in a polarized u.s. our government reflects our country right now in the fact that it is very polarized. this is the reality of governing at this time. there are things we have gotten done but when you had biden lay out this huge addenda at the beginning -- his huge agenda at the beginning of his presidency and democrats thought they could be able to do it because we have 50, certainly they have gotten things done, but so much more was promised. host: is there a sense from congress wha

she came to congress and she was really young and she had never she had never been in congress before and she was elected on this platform of being an outsider by outsiders who believed in being outsiders and so they came into the congress and sort of with a lot of outsider swagger and they were empowered by that. i mean, that was what got her elected and i think there was a a moment where she started to understand that you can't be an outsider forever. like you're just just by virtue of being a member of congress for two years. you're no longer an outsider. you're walking the halls you're eating lunch with people. you're on committees. like it's very hard to maintain that status and and so she had to figure out. um how to this kind of moral line because that is what is her sort of stock and trade right? that's that's her currency. while also being a colleague being a colleague being being a player. and i don't think that's easy for her. i think it's probably more comfortable for her to be an outsider. but you know, she's been reelected now. she has more money than almost any other me

when random congress was looking for community leaders. to run for congress and she was like the quote is you know, okay effort like whatever she said like, okay. i'll try this again not auspicious moment. not a moment that like like resonated with you know. future potential it was just like her brother called her up on the phone and said do you want to run for congress? and she said, okay and he he nominated her and yes, so there was this i mean in retrospect you can use the word machine, but it wasn't really a machine. it was a bunch of people who worked for bernie who believed in bernie's principles who wanted to scale it basically like you would scale a tech product and so they were looking for a bunch of people who they could. back and help with the sort of back end of campaigning and put into congress in the 2018 cycle. and then you know under i know you covered some of that race and you know, we've talked a little bit about like that. she's a woman and a woman of color and you know when you read this book, actually it is striking st

congress, 7%.he military is the only institution besides small business with people expressing confidence, or at least a great deal of confidence, coming in at 64% of people showing faith in that institution. police 45%, below the majority level for only the second time since the service started. five other institutions held their lowest levels, as well. organized religions, newspapers, and these others. you can find the survey on gallup, and there are other questions. we will be showing you this as we go along. when it comes to what we want to hear from you in this hour, how much faith do you have in these institutions? it could be the three major branches of government, supreme court, presidency, and congress. maybe you want to comment on things like your local police, local hospitals, or the medical system. let us know what you are thinking. (202) 748-8000 for democrats, (202) 748-8001 for republicans, and independents (202) 748-8002. if you want to text us your thoughts on your level of confide

congress can tell the state department. you have 30-60 or so days to do it, and if you do not do it, then we will call a hearing and ask you various questions that you will not like. i wonder what according to milinta haring, even if washington agrees to recognize russia as a state that sponsors tourism, this may have negative consequences, and for ukraine, in particular, we are talking about negative consequences in the process, and the rest of russian assets on the territory of washington of washington and the united states of america in general and offer to hear more about this legal police in a comment by lydia garing herself. its state assets located in the united states, then anyone will be able to sue for russian assets. and this makes it difficult for ukraine to directly take russian assets assets because another state, other companies and enterprises will also be able to intervene and claim these assets for themselves, it is interesting that i spoke with experts and they also answered the question why exactly where

they would use the word congress now. we think of congress right as like, you know these people from one country they get together and they have kind of like a parliament. no, no, no, no. that wasn't the original meaning of congress. so congress was a meeting of separate states separate nations separate countries. so like the congress of west failure which ended the wars of the reformation was a of independent nation states. so that for example when george washington great here of the american revolution. when he retired well retire the first time this guy retired a lot of times they can't pulling him back poor fella. when he retired the first time he went to it was richmond, virginia and they gave him a big banquet and they said we want to thank you. for your great sacrifices in heroism on behalf of your country. meaning, virginia and on behalf of the empire meaning this united states thing conglomeration thing. and even thomas jefferson when he wrote about virginia, he always said my country was virginia. so the us and

i worked at the library congress. i worked for a prison library. i'm current a big data scientist and librarian in the government and i volunteer in other endeavor. so i've had a colorful library background and i think it's fair to say that amid the different libraries. i think there's is a kinship and as far as they're very they're varied and their differences they offer collaboration information simulation, there's data and information sharing. there's the need for learning education myriad of things and yet what is compelling to me is that there's this because of this big data and information explosion, and of course the knowledge exploration. i'm wondering what you might have to offer in the way of understanding for how libraries can work more cohesively to kind of spread awareness and to motivate those who are who are kinship and and determined to kind of stay on the computer and not visit their local community libraries where that information and that collaboration can really be embraced and and unified in a way that doesn't diminish our valu

it's not for congress to decide that it's not valid. from the willfulness standard that the judge felt compelled to apply in this case -- >> the reaction from representatives of steve bannon, president trump's former aide, close ally, strategist, who has been convicted of two counts of contempt of congress. a lot of reaction coming in to this story and of course we've got a lot on our website as well. so please do check that out. we'll come back to this throughout the evening. going back to slee lan character the ongoing crisis there continues. the new president has been sworn in. >> just after midnight, hundreds of slee lan can -- sri lankan soldiers stormed the site. within minutes activists were pushed back. some faced the brute force of the security forces. >> full on balance, i'm laving because i can't believe it. i can't believe now that they just did that. will peaceful, 100%. even broke a guitar they were showing us to. >> my son cries. the entire section of the protest, including the road, was clear. taos time to tur this to th

she came in to congress and she was very young and she had never been in congress before. she was elected on this platform of being an outsider by outsiders who believed in being outsiders. so they came into congress sort of with a lot of outsider swagger. they were empowered by that. i mean, that was what got her elected. and i think there was a moment where she started to understand that you can't be an outsider forever. like, just by virtueir of beinga member of congress for two years you are no longer an outsider. you're walking the halls, eating lunch with people, you're on committees. it's very hard to maintain that status. and so sheur had to figure out w to retain this kind of moral line, because that is what is her stock in trade, right? that's currency. while also being a colleague, being a colleague, being a player. and i don't think that's easy for her. i think it is probably more comfortable for her to be an outsider. but she's been reelected after she has more money than almost any other member of congress. she has a lot of power, not just inn the number of s

congress, congress -- not the native people -- the congress of the united states over the course of many years essentially has classified -- we in the u.s. senate -- have classified alaska natives into kind of two broad categories. there are tribal members, which is this circle here, and there are members of alaska native corporations. they're in this circle here. now a lot of the indigenous people of alaska are both, tribal member and an anc member. some aren't both. some are just tribal members. some are anc members. but we're talking about tens of thousands of indigenous people. so whenever we work on legislation that benefits the alaska native people, but american indians writ large, what we always try to do is say, hey, remember, congress did this. the native people didn't do this. so let's make sure that we cover everybody. let's make sure everybody is included. you wouldn't want to discriminate against one of these groups. they're all indigenous people. so that is what me, senator murkowski, ted stevens, every senator, every congressman, our great congressman don young who we just

i will work with congress -- and he has worked with congress to pass the infrastructure bill, which really was a benefit for alaska and i'm thankful to our delegation for supporting that. and he has had a very firm stance against russia, regarding the invasion of ukraine. but i do think he has been slow to recognizethe impacts of inflation in our country, that's why i would give him a b-. >> sarah palin. sarah: and i'm from a family full of school teachers. i remember watching my dad late, late at night filling out report cards. and yeah, i agree that the chamber is kind of known for ratcheting down a lot of issues, and wanting us to paint a picture when it comes to report cards. now, with president biden, there are just too many issues that he is failing at. he couldn't even stay awake during discussion on this baby formula shortage. there are just too many important issues that it seems his advisors, or he himself, they're not taking seriously enough. and ultimately, that issue, that problem, is hurting alaskan families. i think that he has failed in too many areas. i'd have to give him

and what does the national archive hope to get that congress can't? >> the archives, you remember, is the caretaker of all of these records for the federal government. and the fact that they've taken an interest in this particular matter goes to show that they think something is up potentially with the disappearance of these messages. so that's why as we reported today the archives under federal law notified the secret service that they had 30 days to tell them what happened to these messages if they were improperly deleted to explain how that happened. now, as we reported in that story, the secret service told us that they actually do still have all these phones. despite this earlier reporting about going away as part of a device replacement program. they're going to try to recover them from the phones, but there wasn't a lot of hope they would be able to do so. what has your reporting indicated about the committee's reactions so far to today's news? have they given any kind of reaction behind the scenes to how all of this is playing out? >> committe

the first lady of congress showed photos of children who died. the first lady of congress spoke about a family that survived four nazi concentration camps and died only now from shelling on a large scale people left under the impression that america and americans must be understood, yes, they are great politicians, they are senators, but americans are sensitive people , when they hear these stories, they are important to them, sometimes more important than you know, such logic and calls for support before that to be in solidarity , people were amazed. i heard it not just thinking , not just seeing. i heard it from them personally, from lynsey graham, from many other senators, from rob portmon, for example, about the results senators came out and said that we heard the call of the first lady and the calls, uh, let me remind you, was that i am asking the united states for more weapons, we will make sure that the weapons are provided. now i will say two very briefly, i will say two very important points. of this speech and what i saw on the screen,

congress must be allowed to expand -- congress needs to expand the number of justices on court to 13, to preserve the rule of law. this has been done before. and it can be done again. the supreme court has not kept up with the growth in diversification of this nation. and this has put us all at risk. the. the judiciary act is the only way to restore the critical balance that the court desperately needs and i'm proud to be fighting alongside my colleagues behind me to make it happen so, it is time for the people to check this court and to express their will. now i'd like to introduce the co-founder and executive director of repro action. [applause] erin: hello. i'm co-founder and executive director of repro action, a national organization that works to increase access to abortion and advanced reproductive justice. simply put, this supreme court is off the rails and we need to expand it now. in overturning roe v. wade and planned parenthood v. casey, the supreme court overturned 50 years of precedent. the first time in history that this has taken constitutional rights away from the peop

. >> requires congress to meet to tabulate the votes. it is the law that says if one member of the house and one member of the senate objects to the states then the joint session shall divide and each chamber shall debate the objection. the original law has some provisions on how that works in the senate. >> why did congress feel like it was needed at the time? >> it is in the aftermath of contested elections from the middle of the 19th century. that is when congress stepped in to say we need to make clear exactly how this should work. host: this is our guest and she will talk about this process of accounting electoral votes. >> what exactly is the role of the vice president? there was a lot of pressure on vice president pence to assert authority that he did not have under the law. one of the things that this effort to reform the law says is that it is purely ministerial. his job is to open the envelopes, read the submissions from the state. he does not have any discretion over which votes get counted. that is one thing the january 6 epi

dear members of the congress, ladies and gentlemen. i am grateful for the opportunity to be here and to address the congress of the united states of america. i know this is the first time when the wife of the president of a foreign country has the honor to address you within these walls. this is really important for me and for my country. and today i want to address you as politicians and party representatives as well as mothers and fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers, daughters and sons. i want to address you, not as first lady, but as a daughter and as a mother. no matter what positions and titles we reach in our lives, first of all, we always remain part of our family. we always remain children to our parents. and no matter how old we are, they love us as their children. and we are always parents to our children. and no matter what happens to them, they will always remain our children. this is the great truth of our life. our family represents the whole world for us. and we do everything to preserve it. and we are happy when we s

congress has proposal would make this explicit.ing out the constitution will roll of the vice president in presiding over the count is solely by the serial, or that you were she does not have any power to solely determine, except, reject, or otherwise adjudicate disputes over electors. the legislative proposals would also get rid of old language without defined terms like failed election, and lay out how congress can more definitively identify legitimate slates of electors from each state. the hearing on thursday showed three members of -- adam kinzinger alluded to the need for these reforms. >> when we present our full findings,, we will recommend changes to laws and policies to guard against another january 6th. the reason that is imperative is that the forces donald trump ignited that day have not gone away. >> so what should we make of these proposed reforms so far? are they big steps or not enough? joining me now is perhaps the country's leading election law expert, not fully, -- of morris college of law. also the author of th

the ukrainian army, the president of the congress, pavlo grot, told about this in an interview withmunities around the world have been supporting the army in ukraine since 2014, in particular with arms, our colleague olena removska spoke with pavel grod about how the congress will seek to cancel canada's decision on the supply of turbines for the russian gas pipeline in europe and about how the criticism of the ukrainian leadership by the american congresswoman victoria spartz was received in the congress. thank you for your time, you always mention the figure of 20 million ukrainians abroad in your interviews, now the figure of 5 million ukrainian refugees has been added to these 20 million it's a pity that this means a challenge for the world congress of ukrainians, not to help the temporarily resettled or in-laws of the so-called refugees, but to help them as much as possible so that they can settle in their countries. in the world, they are working very actively, first of all, to find them housing, secondly, to find employment, and thirdly, to ensure that children should go to s

i think initially she she got into congress wanting to talk to them. i don't think that she i don't think she expected to become though like this symbol right? like we're like the republican party could just cease on anything that she said and they could just like throw whatever crazy thing and just say like this is what aoc and like the leftist. i'm just socialists are saying um, and that was perhaps like a little bit of naive, but i also like i i mean, how could she have expected to become someone? us hated us like someone like hillary clinton or nancy pelosi who have like a long history, right? like there have been in the public eye for so long that of course, they become like this like, i would say empirical we call it like a google like this monster under the bed in a way and i i think that's when she came with those ideas that we can form this type of coalitions and create the sort of like consciousness among like people from different backgrounds. she did not really expect that. she was gonna become like such a target in which you know the ideas

congress was a separate and equal.of this government and it's prerogatives and its obligations. needed to be protected. and they needed to be administered. and thank you newt for that great lesson. that's what we do. we come here to serve the nation. to do so together. in an inclusive fashion that is respectful of all our members. all our members even knows nitwits on the other side of the aisle. should be respected. i remember joe cap was being just because he couldn't throw a perfect spiral. and irrespass was i am a starting quarterback quarterback in the nfl. i apologize. i was elected by my citizen friends back home. and i apologize. to no one and on their behalf. i demand to be respected. now, let me just take a personal. i wrote this book. people think it's about me. it's not about me. especially those years in congress. it's about us. we did it together. i was never able to talk about my staff. i couldn't see them. we were a team. we were together we stuck up for each other. we stuck by each other and i wrote it

congress can commit and update the rule that congress is done.rawing the maps to the seats in congress. if congress could draw the maps itself or set up a procedure for that, the default is that the states do it. but the constitution could have just said states do it that's electrifying what part of state government is responsible. and that is where this dispute with the supreme court comes in, because the state of north carolina constrains what the legislature does. the potential issue -- financial issue involves redistricting and whether the district lines are submitted to partisan gerrymandering. gerrymandering is the manipulation of boundaries for partisan advantage. a few years ago, the supreme court so that the federal constitution as no principal to allow no federal judges and the supreme court managed -- admitted that gerrymandering is a blight on democracy by admitting the boundaries. the u.s. constitution doesn't have standards, congress can write those standards but congress hasn't done that. in north carolina, the state culture steppe

congress must be allowed to expand -- congress needs to expand the number of justices on the court to 13 to preserve the rule of law. it's been done before and can be done again the supreme court has not kept up with the growth in this is where it all is, the judiciary act of 2021 is the only way for the critical balance the current court does really needs and i'm proud to be fighting with my colleagues to make it happen. it is time for the people to check this court and express their will. i would like to introduce the cofounder executive director of re- row action. [applause] >> i am erin, cofounder and executive director of pre-pro action, and organization to increase access to abortion and advanced reproduction justice. this supreme court is off the rails and we need to expand it now. overturning roe v. wade and planned parenthood cases, the supreme court overturned 50 years of presidents, first time in history it's taken constitutional rights away from the people. following this breach, there already at least nine states that totally ban abortion is expected half the states will

congress should do the same. indeed, the constitution recognizes only the official , and reserves the states, respectively, the appointment of officers in the authority of training militia, according to a discipline from congress. states are not going to appoint officers to overthrow their own governments, nor will congress prescribed organizing of the militias in a way to incite those militias to attack our government. when i point these features of the constitutions out to my colleagues, those who are still in the pro-insurrectionist camp will try to rescue the insurrectionist and a couple ways. they will quote the virginian patrick henry. i have a friend who would go to that college. they quote him in a number of things he does say, along with an insurrection line, but they conveniently ignore the fact that he was an anti-federalist who imposed -- oppose the constitution and the second amendment because he thought it gave too much power to the government and took away the power of the people to overthrow any a
