mr. ford your recognized. >> in the u.s. today, 90% of homes have access to broadbent internet service. nearly 90% have access to one gigabit internet service and nearly 90% of americans have a high-speed connection in the home. almost all providers offer low income households a quality broadbent connection for broad -- between $10 and $20. rod bent is widely available, highly subscribe, and mostly affordable. these statistics are impressive. and is the 10%. with none of it. i understand this is what we are here today. it is an important issue as you try to close this gap. the first thing to do is focus on the 10%, not the 90%. you will be tempted otherwise. but maintain focus on the problem and do not mess up. the 90% to get to the 10%. we do not need dramatic reform of the broadbent network. we need to adjust incentives at the margin. the fact is broadbent is not ploy to every note and cranny of the country is unsurprising. broadbent networks are expensive to deploy especially in rural areas

mr. ford, we hear from our colleagues across the aisle and in the administration that americans pay too much for the internet. and that high prices remain the top obstacle to broadband adoption. similarly, the open technology institute cost of connectivity report tells us there is a broadband affordability prices in the u.s. the facts seem to be at odd with this. based on data from the survey, there was an average decline of 36% in broadband prices between 2015 and 2020. this price decline coincides with steadily increasing broadband subscribership over the past five years. according to the fcc's 2020 communications marketplace report. additionally, a study done by the brookings institute finds the gap between the high income and low income americans is narrowing. which shows that the adoption gap is becoming less based on income disparity. mr. ford, is it true that there is a broadband affordability of prices in the u.s. and what are your thoughts about the oti study? >> i think simply for so

and i would say that mrs. ford actually fulfilled all four categories. she was ultimately a celebrity. she was controversial. she was definitely political, but she was also reluctant here on the left. we see a picture of the fords at their wedding. and here on the right a screenshot of betty ford during her very famous in some quarters infamous tv interview on 16 minutes in 1975. well, i like to refer to betty ford as our first television era first lady and you might think well that can't be right wasn't there jackie kennedy and her famous televised tour of the white house. yes, but i think betty ford was the first first lady who really recognized the power of television to get out her own messages and in a very straightforward way. very soon after she becomes this accidental first lady remember she becomes first lady after richard nixon has in disgrace resigned the presidency and her husband gerald ford becomes president. she had never thought about possibly becoming first lady and now she is and very shortly after the fords come to the white house in 19

even get to this i don't believe that the death of this seer radically i don't believe the death of mr ford had anything to do with the police i think it was fentanyl overdose let's assume there were better experts this case is done because if the death of mr floyd had nothing to do with the police if that if we would have happened independently this is all moot unless you could say just by virtue of the behavior was it in of this of constitutionally prohibited so the. federal government is now making it even more difficult because you think a jury's going to say that those officers willfully don't private him of his constitutional rights with all the mayhem and these officers who by virtue of their indifference allowed this to happen that jury could very well sit there and say look enough's enough this is this was after me this was this was this was insane for them to to jump in and tell a superior officer hey i had set up yeah we'll see but it's not as easy as the federal government says or believes it will be won on all your years as a police man can you speak to whether or not race play

mrs. johnson who was known for her humor named liz garbier. and christine ford had a flower probably a daisy woven into her i think you go. i would call it a big tail, but it probably has more sophisticated description and that for women's coffee or so the next day les carpenter had flower or pigtail this was wearing in the office everybody knew exactly what what she was doing, but it was a little humor. that's too bright. may i just more thing about it? that was very interesting about daddy. he loved to dance. and of course, he always liked to dance with pretty ladies. and he of course would always be seated next to the wife of whoever we were honoring that night. and he would would dutifully do his dancing with this spouse. but he wanted to dance with everybody else and he knew that the next day when people went home they'd like to be able to say last night. i danced with the president. so he told the social aids i want you to cut in on me now nobody of this present generation knows what that is, but you used to dance with somebody and then you would go over a

mr. ford, is it true that there is a broadband affordability crisis in the u.s.and what are your thoughts about the study? >> i think certainly for some people there will always be an affordability problem and low income groups. that's an issue that you may need to address and some of the other witnesses have spoken to that. there are many plans today that are very low-priced, ten to $20. comcast is about $20 for a capable broadband circuits fora qualified low income veterans and other people that qualify for the program so that is a very low price i think we have to question whether or not it is a central service for the person. we can't tell people what the preferences are. some people just may not want it. i think that prices by analysis the prices decline and qualityha has increased. i think that is hard to dispute if we look at the data properly. as for the report, there've been several components to it. one is the municipal networks charging lower prices than the dividers and the details analysis of the study it was incorrect in a way that it created some d

mr. president. thanks for joining us. i am the chief engineer for this product. here at fordwith nearly a century of truck know how, we know that reliability and durability are important for our customers. when we went to create this all electric f150, we knew we had to put it through the same engineering and testing regimen as all of our f-series trucks. behind you we've got videos of our all electric trucks going through some tough testing in michigan. also, we do this around the country, whether it is high-grade, towing a trailer, or here going through different terrains in michigan. a lot of this starts with the engineering. what we have in front of you is our underbody skateboard. this has been purposely built for our f150 lightning to nature it can sustain the load of the weight -- to make sure it can sustain the load of the weight of the vehicle. this frame has the strongest steel we have ever used in any f150. this battery in front of you is the biggest battery we have used in any ford vehicle. pres. biden: what is the weight of the battery? >> the weight of the batte

mr. bostick. romaine: i'm actually going to start with ford because this is the other meme stock rallying. is a meme stock? romaine: it is now. right now up 2%. doing work over there to try to pivot this company towards ev. investors seem to like what they hear. this is a company now firmly in the conversation about not only making ev's, but really leading in the ev space. this is a company a lot of people think can actually go punch for punch with tesla in regards to what it offers and how it offers it. those shares up 2.3% in the premarket, at the highest level we have seen in several years. keep in mind, this has been one of the biggest laggards out there. if you missed it, yesterday amc was up 30%. it is up 15% in the premarket, above the $30 level. i don't know if that is an entry point or an exit point. it will be interesting to see whether the short squeeze actually holds into today and may be the weekend into tuesday, when we come back, with monday being a holiday in the u.s. virgin galactic having a phenomenal week. tom: a meme stock? romaine: up a whopping 0.5%. tom: is there any

took a breather from brokering middle east peace and burned some rubber in ford's new f-150 lightning electric pickup truck. >> mrs quick said the president. he took a fight light questions from reporters before absolutely flooring it out on the test track. yes, that is a secret service agent white knuckling it while riding shotgun in the new f-150. we have to assume "here i go again" was blaring from the tape deck. the staffer thought she was being sneaky as she crawled through the frame behind the interior secretary during the secretary's interview this week on "late night with seth meyers." >> i was sworn in by the first woman vice president, also a woman of color, that was really probably the best part -- >> i'm sorry, i'm going to interrupt you. you have a staffer who crawled on the carpet behind you. it's the greatest thing i have seen. we know you are behind the desk. i would love to have -- thank you very much. >> pops up from behind the desk. she appears to be a photographer and someone who would be very bad at hide and seek. our next high in this graduation season goes to a surprise homecoming at the ki

the status quo was enabling more killing and his policy of supporting mr netanyahu was not working. later, joe biden visited a fordick question on the conflict in israel?— the conflict in israel? no, you can't. the conflict in israel? no, you can't- here — the conflict in israel? no, you can't. here we _ the conflict in israel? no, you can't. here we go. _ the conflict in israel? no, you can't. here we go. are - the conflict in israel? no, you can't. here we go. are you i the conflict in israel? no, you i can't. here we go. are you ready? so, he doesn�*t answer and accelerates away. president biden insists israel has a right to defend itself. critical of that rhetoric isjohn dugard a former united nations special rapporteur to the unhcr. the evidence provided by the failure of the united states to support a resolution at this stage and secondly there is the fact that the united states continues to operate its embassy from jerusalem, which is contrary to international law. also, there is the fact that the united states sends military aid or tribute to israel in the form of $3.8 billion a year. so the united states

mr. bush's yale baseball glove and learn the story behind his funeral train. and then in an hour we hear why dolly madison lucy hayes and betty ford are not easily categorized first ladies the national archives foundation hosted both of these events and provided the video. i want to introduce our speaker today warren finch. he's the director of the bush library and college station. he's enjoyed a long history with the institution first working on the library project team in 1993, and then becoming a member of the library staff when it opened in 1997. he had several positions and ascendant eventually to the directorship in 2004. he is really an archivist through and through having served at the national archives here in dc for the office the presidential libraries and presidential materials and he hails from mobile, alabama warren are you with us? i am thank you. pat. excellent. good to see you. how how is how is everything going down there? are you reopened yet? i know it's been a tough year for all the presidential libraries. we have not reopened yet. the covid numbers here are um, they're going down. we we hope to get the staff

mr. marshall said i don't want to work any more. but i won't mind being vice president again. and when president fordame our 40th vice president when he was sworn in that position on december 6th, 1973, he referred to, quote, the limited powers and duties of the vice presidency. his vice president nelson rockefeller disparaged his final office as quote simply stand-by equipment in 1976. so how do we get from the office that president ford called the limited powers and duties of the vice presidency and rockefeller referred to as simply stand-by equipment, in the mid 1970s, to the very different robust office that we have today. what i want to do in the next few minutes is to give a brief overview of the vice presidency as it existed for most of our history then to sketch the office as it exists today. what i've called the white house vice presidency and then to make a few suggestions as to what i think we could learn from this transformation. the vice presidency wasn't one of the founding fathers' great successes. it was created for reasons that are now obsolete. the founders were concerned that after

mr. president -- >> this sucker's quick. charles: all right. that was president biden tooling around in that new all electric ford f-150.n electric vehicles. he says this will help us keep up with china. outside of tesla there has not been a lot of organic demand. soon, consumers will have no choices because companies and governments use carrots and sticks to force us into all the evs. we have car coach reports editor-in-chief, lauren fix. lauren, there is no vehicle that says americana quite like the f-150. what are your thoughts on this electric version? will it live up to the hype? >> got to remember general motors came out with the gmc hummer. they will be having that coming as will. there will be a lot of vehicles on the market. i think ford has been pushing this f-150 electric. a lot of excitement behind it. this is a name they used in the past called lightning. they have done tricks and pr moves and pulling a million pound train. i suspect we'll see some of that tonight when we see the reveal. having some early information i can't release because i get in trouble with them but i will tell i think they do have a g

mr. price? >> thank you, madam chair. i'd like to ask you to turn ford a moment to tsa's responsibilitu for surface transportation modes. you referred to this a minute ago. and i'd like to ask you to elaborate. this of course includes freightn and passenger rail, highway, ane maritime systems. it's contrast with the aviation system in that these surface transportationon systems, especially public transit, are t far more open and more easily accessible. and they're more exposed, sticad therefore, to potential terrorist threats including less sophisticated attacks that involve fewer numbers of people, less planning and so forth.ystem also unlike the aviation system, surface transportation system operators are themselves directly responsible for their o ownff security.dvice and tsa's role is one of offering assistance, advice, best practices, and so forth. you do have many initiatives that i and other subcommittee members have supported over theo years to help prepare and train service transportation employees and operators to observe and respond to threats

mr. biden did mention the ongoing violence in the middle east toward the top of his remarks in a michigan ford plant today promising congresswoman rashida tlaib he'd do everything he could to see her family in the west bank remains safe. >> it's from my heart that i pray that your grandmom and family are well. i promise you i will do everything to see they are safe in the west bank. >> reporter: it's a political tightrope for the biden white house. strong support for israel has been a u.s. foreign policy constant, but increasingly, there are competing voices for that support especially in the democratic party. indeed, they are ratcheting up pressure on mr. biden to do more to stop the bloodshed in gaza even if it means side-stepping usual alliances with israel, and it hasn't gone unnoticed, at least in washington, that new york senator chuck schumer has been muted during this relative crisis. perhaps it's been speculated due to a possible aoc primary threat. calling for a cease-fire shocked many. tim kane said he was troubled by it. rokanna added "the president needs to end this and he can end

mr. republican head of the party. he's an isolation. he wants to come back to fortress america, but young congressman richard nixon and you know young congressman jerry ford they're going you know, i think we have a to play a role in the world and they're more and they truman if you will the more internationalist camp, so the republican party. drifts away from isolationism not entirely, but mostly to become a more internationalist party and the fulcrum here is andy communism. because they you know the fear of communism from within takes a rancid turn with joe mccarthy when you know, and this is truman got caught up in this the loyalty dose and loyalty test ryan, uh, not a pretty time in the united states where we get all paranoid about the soviet union and we exaggerated it's internal threat in the united states. i mean there were spies world war two there are a lot of russian spies now no, yeah the known and decrypts and all that but by 1950 when when macarthur is yelling about reds under every bed, we don't have enough. of us it wasn't really a threat but the country went crazy about it. nonetheless trumanetic, you know, delicately navigate through all

bob port and the family up at kenny vaughn ford in a picture of the house the larger house it was before and then president bush often i you know, i think after mrs. bush died he wanted to go back to kenny mount port one more time and he's a he told me one time that he spent every summer at kenny bob port except for the summer that he was in in the pacific. so yeah, long story short, i'm sorry. yes, kennebunkport. is a and it's a lovely place. we used to go up there every summer for a meeting of the foundation and library board. it's it's just i can see why president bush film of it. and this is a question that i ask every director and they all hate me for it. is there do you have a favorite item in the library or i'll give you a softball. is that what's maybe the most popular item or gallery in the museum? so for when we did the original i do so is actually a rock. so we've got we've got this rock that was a gift from nicaragua. and it is a street scene. folk art painted street scene of monogram nicaragua painted in iraq and it is simple. but fascinating and beautiful and it's it actually it's in the museum because it's when i first got here was

ford f-150 will have an all electric model called the f-150 lightning. while the truck won't be officially unveiled until tomorrow, the president got a test drive today. >> mr drive? >> this sucker is quick. >> would you buy one of these? >> i would. >> how does it feel to be behind the wheel, sir? >> it feels great. i tell you what, i don't want anybody to use a stopwatch, but i think we're going 0 to 60 in about 4.3. 4.4? 4 flat? >> mr. president, how fast were you going? >> okay, i'm just going to step on it and i'll off at 80 miles an hour. okay? you ready? >> mr. president, can i ask you a quick question on israel? >> no, you can't. here we go. you ready? >> you know, it's right, the pickup on electric vehicles are amazing because they don't have the latency of a gas-combustion engine, it just goes right away. the president highlighted the electric vehicle and electric batteries as part of his big jobs climate and infrastructure agenda. >> my name is joe biden and i'm a car guy. the future of the automotive industry is electric. there is no turning back. the big question is whether it will lead or fall behind. or whether the batteries going in them wil

mr. president, i always say that the people in michigan can outwork, outbuild, and outimagine anybody. whether we're building the ford new all electric f-150 truck that president biden rode yesterday when he was in michigan, whether it's armored vehicles that keep the military safe in war zones, whether it's wind turbines, appliances, furniture, or doll scandies strong enough to -- doll scandies strong -- dollies strong enough, their hard work makes our nation stronger. unfortunately, there are times when our nation hasn't returned the favor. each year federal agencies spend billions of dollars in taxpayer money on products from the private sector. everything from vehicles to office furniture to electronics. and the buy american act which was signed back in 1933 says the federal government should give preference to high quality products here in america. common sense, right? american taxpayer dollars should go to american manufacturers, american business, and american workers. unfortunately, loopholes and waivers and outright noncompliance by federal agencies means that too many times american taxpayer dollars instead
