after the meetings in cambridge were brought up would be in the friends meeting house which is the that the home of the quakers. religious. and then forget my mum said to me one day when we were leaving she said you know where we are and i said. i didn't read it it's a school the friends meeting it's the quakers there it's a christians and she said as you know i'm an atheist so i cannot subscribe to their religious beliefs but they are very very good people and i thought wow how cool is that a stew a cannot can hear as saying it so i guess you're very much like your mother from what you describe right now to have your hands welcoming me and you're very outspoken and you always say what you think and you're very adamant to get your message through and you've been political throughout all your life from day one of your career but people now are saying you know maybe the waters should just stick to music they never really say it before and i wonder why it has become so pervasive now as your message changed to the become more acute why are they all of a sudden realizing that roger waters al

. >> this day started with mark meadows and the frieden caucus meeting on "fox & friends" that house republicans fumbled the issue by not getting the money for the wall over the past two years. he urged the commander in chief to hold firm. tonight he is saying that in the meeting he had with other leaders, the president was serious about not folding without a fight. back in march the president vowed he would never sign another stopgap spending measure to kick the can down the road without new money for the wall. conservatives like rush limbaugh have spent the last 24 hours telling the president, urging him not to cave and if he does not stand and fight for a signature. i can tell you as you noted, house republicans changing course to the president's direction. they passed a new bell with $5.7 billion plus $8 billion for hurricane and wildfire relief. democrats are warning that the bill cannot get through the senate so we are likely headed for a shut down. but remember 75% of the government is funded already deep into 2019 including the military, so this would only be a partial shutdow

actually jackie kicked him out of the house said i need to prepare etch spent the day at friend's house, having meetings, he went to a -- john and jackie went to a concert at constitution hall. then the between a very huge event that you may have heard of, this hollywood broadway gala at the national armory, and then kennedy went to a dinner that his father hosted in downtown d.c., he went to bed at 4:00 in the morning. two hours later eisenhower is getting up. but kennedy is going bed at 4:00. he get upped up a 8:00 the next day, to begin preparations for inaugural day. so that is sort of the day before the inauguration. inauguration day itself, we think another it as the kind of magical, mystical moment but up close it was total chaos, the city was stale paralyzed. they're running 45 minutes late. ken was sworn in at 12:51. became president at 12:00 so he was like sort of an hour behind schedule. the podium early in the proceedings started smoking. there was a short out and so the smoke is rising, and eisenhower says, must have a hot speech coming, and so -- one of the iconic moments is -- i have the

my friend, the democratic leader, and his counterpart in the house are scheduled to meet with president trump at the white house later today. for the nation's sake, i hope that my democratic friends are prepared to have a serious discussion and reach an accommodation with the president on funding for border security. otherwise, circumstances are beginning to resemble a movie we've seen before. it was only this past january when democrats chose to manufacture a government funding lapse over the issue of illegal information. it didn't work out very well. the reality is that the president's request is entirely reasonable, and before today's partisan consideration set in, i bet it might have looked reasonable to a majority of the senate democrats who joined in support of a physical border security legislation back in 2006, some 12 years ago. senate republicans are working with the president and his homeland security team on a 5.02 billion dollar targeted funding to bolster security measures in specific places where the department of homeland security determines it is most needed. and make n

would my right honourable friend agree that if the media were briefed before this house that is further contempt for this parliament. the prime minister cancelled the cabinet meetingy she is worried about getting a majority there or not. many of her ministers are very upset and i can't say i blame them. at least at dozen were sent into tv and radio stations yesterday morning to deny the prime minister would pull the vote before somebody helpfully phoned from downing street to pull them out of the studio and say, the line had changed. this is an extraordinary way of not running a government. the northern ireland secretary was quoted saying, the uk must move on with brexit or risk being driven with brexit or risk being driven with division. this is the same prime minister who said hers was the best deal and indeed the only deal. if that's the case, what is she doing today in europe? mr speaker, this runaway prime minister is not even seeking to negotiate, she confirmed she is only seeking reassurances. mi’ confirmed she is only seeking reassurances. mr speaker, our prime minister is traipsing around the continent in pursuit and search of warm words when she can get
