. >> well, mr. ford, those are not the only programs that those positions are responsible for, right? >> correct. and you're raising a good point which is it's very difficult in such a small office to point to one particular type of work that one position is responsible for and say if we lose this position we can't do this work but we can still do everything else. everybody in the office has lots of different roles. they touch many different programs. so if we were to lose any of the positions that we're talking about today, there would be a much larger reshuffling of work programs would have to be changed and tweaked. everybody is basically going to have to take on some different roles which would make it manageable but people would have to be working more across divisions to try to get the work done. so what i'm looking at is where can we just reduce the overall level of work that right now the department is doing roughly dialing that back about 14%. if we're losing 14% of our staff, i'd want to look f

you know, mrs. fordll go if i have to, but i'm too old to change and to have to take this as i am. the ford kids went on with life as though were still in their house. i don't think there's any example in the whole history of the white house that i can think of that people seem less impressed personally by by all. that was in many ways the great strength that the boards brought to the white house that they were like us. and at a time when the house was in many ways staying by scandal and and public unrest, president ford also makes change to the white house that lasts until today. he removes the oval office secret system that plays a role bringing down his predecessor, president ford. amenity took office ordered all the tapes ripped out of oval office, which of course, had been in there since the and wasn't honored. he found out later that they had not been removed and hit the ceiling big time called the engineers in his presence and had it all torn out like they had to repaint the office. there was so m

mr. nixon but president ford pardoned him and that ended the discussion. we have never seen criminal -- and with cap the government stable without it. i don't think the supreme court decisions last summer although i think it was bad the reason, it is not a factor in all of this. the question is whether the president is going to be ordered to comply with the law and if he is those orders will extend to the people working for him as well in the courts will i'm sure it not take action against mr. trump but actions against officials that defy court orders. host: on the injunctions put forth, mike lee, a senator from utah, republican said i am thinking about ways to hold the judicial insurrectionists accountable. perhaps we need a law providing that when someone seeks a nationwide injunction against the government, it must go to a three-judge district court a direct appeal to the supreme court. what do you think? guest: i don't think that is a bad idea. i think getting this to the supreme court on major constitutional questions is a good idea. these are obvious

doug ford. >> mr. president, do you support israeli sovereignty in judea and samaria, areas which many believe is the biblical homeland of the jewish people? >> well, we're discussing that with many of your representatives. your represented very well. and people do like the idea, but we haven't taken a position on it yet. but we will be we'll be making an announcement probably on that very specific topic over the next four weeks. go ahead please. please. >> thank you. >> so much, mr. president. >> you just said. you just said that you think all, uh, all the palestinians should be relocated to other countries. does that mean that you do not support the two state solution? >> it doesn't mean anything about a two state or a one state or any other state. it means that we want to have we want to give people a chance at life. they have never had a chance at life because the gaza strip has been a hellhole for people living there. it's been horrible. now hamas has made it so bad, so bad, so dangerous, so unfai

ford. >> harold: mr. musk has every right to do what he is doing.ed, he is not elected, but others had to go through a confirmation hearing and an oath and then signed documents saying they are not going to conflict themselves. i believe he won't do it and i believe the president will hold him to it. two, at the end of the day, what the president and mr. musk want to do is figure out ways in which to reduce spending, you can't do it the way you are doing it. you've got to do it going forward. per congress met a budget, zero out of usaid, zero out of the primitive education. democrats are so frustrated, even some republicans, everyone around the table, we all said since november that donald trump has essentially been the president of the united states and joe biden disappeared from the stage, and that donald trump was running things. now he is officially running things, so now that you are officially running things, there is no need to look back. if you want to zero out salaries of people at departments or agencies that aren't working, zero them out,

president lincoln that night at the ford theater do i think things might have been different had i go yes i do. if i had been with the president, i would have had a bodyguard that mr. booth would not have got past my bodyguard so that i'll be that brief. but there are two camps. yes it would have made difference. no, it wouldn't have made a difference. i think it would have made a difference. both had a dagger and, a one shot derringer. he wouldn't if i hadn't had a bodyguard, he wouldn't have gotten past me. once he got into the president of booth. so i think and i regretted the rest of my life that i did not attend with the president that night. i must bring my evening with you to a close. it's been a pleasure. be with you and an honor to be with you. was. something. i had to. thank you. thank you. thank you know, my final word to you join this roundtable. you are the future here of our past. you are the future, our past. if you are not a member, join. this is one of the most, if not the most distinguished civil war and table in america. the of what you have got proud of the people who are here with you and among you support your history and join this roundtable
