the british press was so bad that they were speculating that john major i did it to burn john major because he checked my passport files for the bush campaign and 92. [laughter] like i would change all american policy -- [laughter] everybody was going nuts and said clinton is so pistol off at major for checking his passport files to see if he tried to give up his citizenship to join the soviet union. [laughter] i mean, go figure. that's the only reason he's doing this. that's how inconceivable it was to the whole british body of politic. and i told you all i respected it that he tried because he was on a very thin parliamentary majority and he needed the unionist. he risked it anyway. even though i didn't really go anywhere, he tried and i think we should all give him credit for trying. [applause] and albert reynolds thought i should grant jerry a visa. we all worked it out. there were seven irish groups and mostly based in new york city. one of them sponsored at the conference. they put together a whole speech deal and he asked for a visa and we agreed so i could make the united states loo

, and there were di5pute5 bit, i was in treasury, and there were disputes over policy, but when john majorermed the bu5tard5, it was quite difficult to manage. he did manager relatively unified cabinet. he did have a relatively unified cabinet, he did manage to make some quite big policy decisions, but even so, that could not stave off the massive defeat in 1997 to tony blair. it is not a hugely welcome parallel for rishi sunak. we will see, i don't think there is anything, although there was undoubtedly a lot of tension, a lot of people in the conservative party who felt that the fall of margaret thatcher was much to be regretted, maybe even blamed john major a bit and certainly couldn't forgive him for what they thought was going 5oft forgive him for what they thought was going soft on her legacy. i don't think there was anything like the personal degree of rancour that we now see between rishi sunak and borisjohnson. margaret we now see between rishi sunak and boris johnson. margaret thatcher was no doubt a destabilising influence on her role which has she turned a back seat driver, tha

they include albert reynolds and john major in the united kingdom. major played a crucial decision to establish the all party talks and to invite the independent chairman to have that process. i shared that with two extraordinary men. the late former prime minister of finland, and the former head of the canadian defense forces. each of us was well served by small but very able staff. for me they included martha pope, david and kelly curry. both governments were represented by a succession of very able to ministers and officials. they included from the uk, lord patrick mayhew, lord paul murphy, jonathan powell and bill jeffries. from ireland, david andrews, sean, liz o'donnell, david cooney, tim o'connor and david dunning. a special recognition must of course go to the leaders of the major northern ireland parties. john led the social democratic and labor party and david trumbull led the unionist party. without john, there wouldn't have been a peace process.

major. >> reporter: good evening, john, great to be with you. , it's conservative majority again asserted its dominance, both on the tension between the first amendment and state antidiscrimination laws, and on the repayment of student loans, and in that case, the high court dealt the biden white house a significant setback. writing for the majority, chief justice john roberts said the biden administration overstepped its legal authority to justify its sweeping student loan cancellation plan. a 2003 law allows the administration to "waive or modify statutes pertaining to student loans during national emergencies." roberts wrote, "it does not permit basic and fundamental changes in the scheme designed by congress." the administration sought to use the covid emergency to cancel some $400 billion in student loans. one of the most expensive executive actions in u.s. history. at the white house, president biden said he would seek other ways to fulfill a campaign promise to lower student debt burdens. >> i didn't give borrowers false hope come up with
