maintain the kennedy center honors, pbs, and everything else that it celebrates with the national endowment for the artseah, so there's a speech that he gave about his tribute to robert frost where he said that the men who create power make an indispensable contribution to our nation's greatness, but the men who criticize power make an equally indispensable contribution. he was talking about artists in the city and that's relevant to the cast of "hamilton" in particular. president kennedy had this vision for america that was a very broad vision of america as a great civilization, not only a powerful military nation, he did serve in combat, but a great civilization that was great artistically, great scientifically. the moon shot, so i think he'd be very troubled by the idea that we're going to cut science. great physically, he had the president's physical fitness challenge. in fact, my uncle bobby marched 50 miles in 20 hours, you know, to rouse the nation to become more physically fit. and so he conceived it the moon shot, the arts and humanities, civil rights act, gave one of the great speeches against

for a few months. puerto rico, going bankrupt, they will get almost $300 million taxpayer dollars and medicaid money. the president wants to eliminate like the national endowment for the artsthe national endowment for the humanities, the appalachian regional commission's, they will instead see funding increases. this is a win for the washington status quo. if the leadership want to take a stand now, then guess what coursework are they ever? should we all doubt? now obstructionist democrats, they seem to know that and they're going to push to more concessions in the next round of funding negotiations. remember in 2009 when barack obama told g.o.p. leaders that elections have consequences. the same rules should now apply for republicans in congress and. the american people, you voted for a border wall. you voted for a major increase in defense spending a leaner government bureaucracy just like with health care. i am running out of patience with republicans in the u.s. congress. republicans in congress need no stop surrendering on key issues and finally start delivering for once like repealing, replacing obamacare getting the job done and getting over the finish line. here wi

republicans did not kill the national endowment for the arts or the national endowment for the humanities or the corporation for public broadcasting even though they said they would. they did not slash the environmental protection agency by 30%. even though they said they would. epa only gets a 1% cut. they did not kill federal funding for planned parenthood. they did not kill funding for sanctuary cities even though they said they'd do that, too. they did not get any money to build a freaking wall between us and mexico. and on and on and on down the list. exhaustively, actually, down the list. so by the time we orp the air last night talking about this development and funding the government, i think people broadly have started to figure out this first big legislation of the trump era really, the first significant legislation this president will sign will be a checklist of what democrats insisted on and none of the things the trump administration said they were going to force the democrats to go along with. it's really true. down the line 100%. the only thing the trump administration got

for the border, i couldn't find it. but i did find 105, i think it was 105 million extra for amtrak. the national endowment for the artstional endowment for humanities, which he wanted to kill and has proposed budget budget, -- >> bret: big bird is safe. >> they got more money. >> what this bill reflects is the fact that donald trump and has came in the middle of this budget process, had his veto, could shape the whole thing. most of this was negotiated before he could get inaugurated. remember how they couldn't quite get it all done at the end of the december? they managed to figure out the call money for mitch mcconnell and joe manchin. the medicaid for puerto rico. i think they have not wrapped up, this is the last budget of the obama years, the last budget that obama had influence over. now, it will be up to them in the fall -- >> bret: we always say, we are one election from changing things. they controlled the house, the senate, and the white house. >> trump got rolled. the republicans got rolled. they ended up with nothing, really. it is sort of embarrassing. i understand the strategic idea, we are halfway throu

but there were outright we're not funding this anymore names like the national endowments for the arts pay for all of this without ballooning the deficit? >> well, the problem for him is going to be that moderate republicans. not democrats but republicans are going to resist really, really deep cuts. i think that's going to be difficult. the other point i would make, liz, is that i wasn't great at math in high school. but for him to say we're going to have 3% gdp growth with interest rates not really going up much. first of all, there aren't enough workers and state after state, the labor market has gotten incredibly tight. so the math to me does not add up. i think the tax cuts are still alive. i think the spending costs will be watered down a lot. liz: kathy, looking at cuts. now, again, this was when president trump issued his first idea of the cut. >> and epa. liz: but you have to agree there's bloat. we have to cut some spending. >> right. but there's bloat in the military as well. from what i understand, there's one civilian for every active duty member. so right now, we don't ne

but there is a whole other rangee of them including for example the national endowment for the arts which a slight increase in this as well. >> brangham: in the past we have had shutdowns where we came very, very, very close to having a shutdown, this was not the case. the gop seemed to think that they were just going to get blamed if the government shut down and that is why they seemed to have backed off a bit sp. >> i think that is exctly right. there were republicans talking with us privately last week trying to get reporters in the framework of oh, democrats will be blamed if this shutdown happens am but the thought that they were bringing that up, william, you knew that they were worried they would catch the blame. part of that because they were blamed the last time that happened because they shut down government over the affordable care act in trying to end that. but i think there's also an issue with republicans that they are concerned that some of the issues they feel strongest about do not yet have majority of approval like planned parenthood. most americans want that to continue

pushing partisan interests from repealing health care to gutting the corporation for public broadcasting, the national endowment for the arts and the national endowment for the humanities and successful programs like community development block grants, all of these programs are fully funded in this measure. and as the president gets cozy with authoritarian strongmen around the world and revisits the history of the civil war and for your information, donald trump, it was slavery that caused the war, congress has stepped up and asserted itself and i'm glad i've said repeatedly that the legislative branch has given too much authority not to this president but to the one before him and the one before him and the one before that one. have continuously ceded its authority so by virtue of this action and i hope future action that the legislature is an equal branch of our government, and we need to act like it. funding the government is one of the most important responsibilities congress has. there are differences in policy priorities between members in this body, democrats and republicans and differences between democrats and diff

arts, great advances in science and technology. the romans built the roads. the greeks had great architecture. he wanted america to have that kind of society. hence he conceived of the national endowment for the arts and humanities. he conceived of the space program. he wanted america to be a just society. so he conceives of the civil rights program. susan: one of the things that is always interesting about doing programs at the national archives is they are meant to be interactive. at the 45 minute mark, if you have questions you are thinking about, there are microphones at the end of each staircases. it will be interesting to see your questions comparing to the times we live in right now. with that in mind for both of you, only ronald reagan is the only other modern president who has been granted an official centennial celebration. can you talk about the background that is bringing us all together? how did that get generated in congress, and was it a bipartisan effort? stephen: two of our book contributors are john mccain and henry kissinger, who are both republicans. john mccain was sponsor of the legislation. ed markey was a sponsor in the senate. we had a reception last night at the

for planned parenthood. and they did not. they said they were going to kill the national endowment for the arts and humanities, they did not killeither of those things. they were going to knock 30% off the e.p.a. bchlgt they knocked 1% off the e.p.a. bchlgt they said they were going to the cut a blonds off the national institutes of health. the bill actually adds $2 billion. that's exciting news if you like things like the national institutes of health. this political question for why the administration can't do anything, why they can't accomplish anything they want to do, even with republican unified control of government. it is an underappreciated thing, particularly in the beltway press which likes to focus on the personality as a substitute for other forms of effectiveness. the federal government has a bunch of people in it. it's big, it's complex. it's filled with lots of important skshl jobs where it matters who's in those jobs. and under the trump administration, we've got some weird people in relatively big positions. we have weird weird weird don benton running the selective service. whether or not you think we are lik

for trump, cities, counties and states, that is the interpretation that i believe the american people will understand. in the course of your budget, you have gutted or cut the national endowment for the arts, national endowment for the humanities and something that the gulf region needs desperately, coming from south carolina, you should understand the army corp of engineers. you repeal the affordable care act with $880 billion that is your premise. when the senate said that that repeal is dead on arrival, they said the budget was dead on arrival. your going to eliminate community services block grant, eliminate community very many block grant and eliminate federal emergency management agency state and local grants, all lifelines for americans. i won't have to worry about shutting the government down. because americans will shut this government down if the trump betrayal budget ever passes. so let me ask you these questions and as i do so, let me remind any fellow texans they get $70 billion from the federal government for their budget and they just balanced their budget on the $70 billion from the united states government, federal government, of which you will eliminate. i also want to p

. >> the guy who has three oil paintings of himself in the bathroom wants to cut the national endowment for the artsfinds that the president is the butt of more late night jokes in his first 100 days than the last three presidents in their entire first year in office. pete: wow. with here with reaction is the chuck woolery. those numbers are staggering. 1,000 in the first 100 days verses 900, 400 in the first year. i mean, can the derangement go any farther? >> well, yes, it could by the blunt force truth i'm the moderator on. my podcast. such hate and fear involved with this presidency for some reason. had i said about barack obama on television what stephen colbert said about trump, i would have been running a bingo game at a has lodge outside of el sagundo. i would pay price for that the reason they don't pay a price for it number one they have no conscience so they have no regrets. the other is there is absolutely no, no push back on them at all. they don't have to pay any kind of price. other than that. clayton: meanwhile celebrities are suffering right now under president trump. they are reall

planned parenthood, they did not see the cuts that were called for in the epa, the corporation of public broadcasting, big bird is fine, the national endowment of the arts. all of the things that were controversial in the budget blue print, they didn't come to pass. while there is more border security and more money for defense, it's much less than the trump administration wanted and it does not pay for the wall. kennedy: this a little bit more money for military spending. and part of that is from the enthusiasm that democrats showed when the president authorized those tom hawk miss soil strikes in syria. i think you are see there is an appetite for destruction in both parties. bret: the republicans control 9 white house, the house and the senate. the fact that this spending bill, it's 2017, it's not 2018. the administration makes the case that 2018 is where they will make their stands. but they had access to this 2017 spending bill because congress kicked the can down to this point. but republicans had control yet this is a very democratic spending bill. kennedy: it is absolutely and democrats are promising more of the same in the fall. so what happens

. >> what about the national en e endowment for the arts? >> it's there.ing picked up $10 million for an interconnectivity device that they need to improve their service. again, all these things got through fine. again, we'll start now working on next year. but, frankly, i like the way the negotiation went. and everybody stacked out their position but then they moved toward one another during the course of the investigation, suggesting to me that we're finally moving to a period, perhaps, where we can do things like that on tax reform. >> mark halperine here. gas tax or breaking up the banks, are any of those good ideas? >> it's hard to say what's a good idea until you see it legislatively. in a period of pretty low gasoline prices, you're from oklahoma, you keep an eye on the price of accrued. if you're ever going to do it, this is probably as good a time as anyone. you can also, you know, couple that with a trigger to say gasoline went above a certain price. in terms of breaking up the banks, it depends what you're talking about. banks that are large eno

she is supported by numerous research grants for the national endowment of the arts.efore i start with my panelists, i have another book i have to share as a fellow archivist and educator. it is called "harriet tubman , ms., memory and history." it is a good synopsis for us who are academics on how you write history. historians need archives. you really have to delve into primary resources. for a person such as harry tubman and her contemporaries they were not allowed reading , materials or writing materials. we call them nonliterate people because they were not given the capacity to exercise that potential. so, we look at someone like that, how do they document or explain themselves? we have to use other resources and means to do so. in this, she goes through the academic challenge of trying to capture that story. she does in a floor job of reconvening those things. we can very much now use the landscape and physical structure and visual history to re-create the world in which harry tubman lived. those of you standing outside in the rain with me, it was almost cathar
