and he also ain continued to be omb director in some ways.] we had a conference on that here a few years ago. >> yes, we did. >> lessons for the future. it's very -- i think that, you know, the point about the basic structure9 from the nixon years and during, i think, is very true. but every president is different can in terms of what their temperament is, what their -- i mean, joe biden was in the obama administration. he's a different person. there's a deferent way of briefing him, it's a different way of making sure he has what a he needs. if you're chief of staff, you have to be just focused on what does the president need. and you can't be locked to a structure that doesn't serve the period of time. you have too make sure the president -- some president -- i worked for two t presidents who could read hundreds of pages a night. not every president can. and that doesn't mean they can't make a decision. so i think it's, in my view, the most important thing is to see what the president needs. the other thing is it's never good if the team du

so as omb directors your job is to reach out and collect information. presidents i have multiple wayso get information. doesn't have to be that somebody on thean white house staff says there's a meeting and i'm writing a memo. so you have to turn to the people who areea working on it d count on them to reach out and get all the points of view. that requires trust amongst the parties. i think if you were to talk to the people who were in the room and not in a room at that time, you would get somewhat different stories about how well it was done. but i think the president was well sort. i think thehe president knew wih as much to 100% to 100%h every point of view was and the information he needed. to move to the year i was chief of staff. so i changed seats. now my job to run the process to make sure everyone needs to be in the room is in the room. but it's also an election year, and in an election year there's a whole additional dimension to it, which is there's a campaign apparatus that is not going to be running the government, and the government has t

i wasn't managing omb or the white house. and, you know, there were points of time where, there was friction between what treasury was the right thing and what the people in the white house might have thought was the right thing. and i can tell you as as a treasury secretary, if it ever, gets to the point where you can't walk into the oval office and tell the president what you think the right thing, you ought not do the job because you have a perspective that's different. and then someone else has to make the political judgment as to whether or not that's they're comfortable doing that. i don't think we lost a major, you know, disagreement on that. but there were some times when i was back with the assignment, if not comfortable with what we want to do come up with a way to solve the problem. you can't in government just criticize. you have to have a solution and a white house has to be able to push to agencies and say, okay, this is not the right way to do it. i mean, i could give you a case in point, but i really don't wan

[video] >> on ukraine, omb director shalonda young sent a letter to leaders explaining without congressional action the administration will run out of resources by the end of the year to procure more weapons and equipment for ukraine and provide equipment from u.s. military stocks without impacting our own military readiness. the resources congress has provided for ukraine and other national security needs have halted russia's advances, help ukraine achieve significant military victories, including taking back more than 50% of the territory russia previously occupied, and by revitalizing our own defense industrial base jumpstarting and expanding production lines and supporting good paying jobs across the country. now it is up to congress. congress has to decide whether to continue to support the fight for freedom in ukraine as part of the 50-nation coalition president biden has built, or whether congress will ignore the lessons learned of history and let putin prevail. it is at start of a choice and we hope congress will make the right choice. there is no magical pot of funding available. we

have everyone's view but you can't have everyone know the president is having a secret meeting so the omb director your job is to reach out and collect information. there's multiple ways of getting information. it doesn't have to be someone saying i'm having a meeting and writingg a memo. you have to turn to the people working on it, count on them to get all the points of view that requires trust among the parties andpa i think if you were to tak to the people who were in the room and not in the room at that time you would get a somewhat different stories about how well i think thebut president was well served and new with as much to 100% as he could with every point of view and the information he needed. i'm going to move to the year i was chief of staff. it's now my job to run that process to make sure everyone who needs to be in the room is in the room and also an election year and in an election year there is a whole different dimension to it which is there's a campaign apparatus that is not going to be running the government and the government has to be run. they have to understand w

together, they made certain that the omb would get it done. we didn't go through the legislature. we didn't go through the house. we didn't go go to the senat. we can wait for votes. the president of the united states bill clinton said franklin raines, get it done. give clinton a big round of applause. give him a round of applause. [applause] so finally on october 28, 1998, i organized a cbc then to largest to launch an event. beaches of congressman stokes the was great on this issue and congresswoman donna christensen. prepa cities of hiv/aids organizations from all around the country and, of course, i was there. minority aids initiative and the funding history just a bit. at the 1998 rollout, we announce the minority aids initiative would receive an initial appropriation of 156 million in fiscal year 1999. the purpose of the minority aids initiative is to target funds for hiv/aids prevention, outreach, screening, and treatment of minority communities heavily impacted by hiv/aids. the funds were to be provided to minority led community-based organizations in order to help these o

. >> the white house is trying to build pressure on lawmakers to pass this funding, and omb director says this is a do or die moment in time is running out, the lawmakers have had the sum of mental -- supplemental funding request, there has not been action to pass this bill, $106 billion for ukraine, israel, taiwan, and border security. the omb director laid out the stakes saying i want to be clear without congressional action by the end of the year, we will run out of resources to procure more weapons and resources for ukraine and to provide equipment, there is no magical pot of funding available, we are out of money and nearly out of time, mike johnson quickly responded to this letter in a post on social media arguing the administration has yet to provide a clear strategy for the future in ukraine and how this funding will be used, and also once again insisting this will include any national security supplemental funding including major changes to border security policy, this remains unclear whether lawmakers will be able to clear these hurdles as the administration is issuing very

he spoke to reporters after the omb director sent a letter to leaders. mr. sullivan: thank you, karine, and thanks everybody. i will make a few opening comments and i will be happy to answer your questions. this past weekend, i held rounds of phone calls with partners from israel, egypt, qatar, and other nations as we remain engaged in a nonstop discussion since hamas' devastating terrorist attacks. we are still talking about how to find a way forward with hostages. we are talking about expanding the humanitarian assistance making it into gaza. and we are talking about the status of israel's military operation and to defend itself against a terrorist organization which has declared its intent to repeat the october 7 massacre again and again. i have briefed the president regularly throughout the weekend and the day today. on thursday at the white house, and with some families joining virtually, i met with the families of americans who are being held hostage by hamas. it was my second such meeting by myself. i also joined the president's meeting with families

that letter from the omb director getting this response from the speaker of the house, mike johnson, yesterday afternoon, saying the biden administration has failed to something we address any of my conference's legitimate concerns about the lack of a clear strategy in ukraine, a path to resolving the conflict or a plan for adequately ensuring accountability for aid provided by american taxpayers. meanwhile he said the administration is continually ignoring the catastrophe at our own border. house republicans have resolved that any national security supplemental package must begin with our own borders. we believe both issues could be agreed upon if senate democrats and the white house will negotiate reasonably. that's the speaker of the house yesterday. this was republican senator ron johnson last week on these issues, talking about border security and ukraine funding. >> we have one leverage point here. the administration wants funding for ukraine. we need to use that leverage be point and we need to make any funds that go to ukraine contingent on the administration actually reducin

locks, everyone fled, of course, when they tell us that they don’t marry children, this is pure lies, ombines for this, and for selling to a child there is also criminal liability, we changed it, so this is it everything is illegal, the second question is what are these documents, where are they from, on what basis, now the third fact that you must record, call here the head of the district responsible for the extract for the day, it is recorded here 200 thousand, 300 thousand, how much taxes are paid from all this , identify and tell everything, the investigative team that arrived at the scene seized all the vapes, and the questionable products were taken away for examination. employees of the department of economic security and anti -corruption of the main directorate of the ministry of internal affairs of russia for the city of moscow, together with colleagues from the southwestern administrative district, are aimed at stopping the illegal sale of tobacco and nicotine-containing products. during an inspection of a shopping complex in the south-west of moscow, police identified pavilion

you saw the letter from, as it relates to our national security, the letter from omb director young, from jake sullivan just moments ago about how important it is to get the supplemental done. it is important to our national security and so we are going to be really clear about that and continue to speak pretty steadfast and let congress know the time is now to get this done. >> one follow-up on israel, hamas. the general secretary of the international federation of journalists in an interview today that jrnalists or media workers, one is killed every day on average in the war, making it a conflict beyond compared to any other. at least 60 journalists killed since october 7th, most of them palestinians. as the u.s. urges israel to of minimize the deaths of palestinians. >> i have not seen this interview, i want to be clear about that, but obviously making sure that journalists who are really important on the ground and reporting on what's happening on the ground and making sure that they are protected and able to do that is critical. it's important. and that is -- we have been pretty

go out tomorrow omb i love seeing all those smiling faces and the kids back there we have jingle and trees and the evils i like christmas trees who has a christmas tree in our house. >> yeah. >> one christmas tree is pretty cool but how about a stage full of trees yeah. >> some of my very good finks friends are trees say hello. >> (music). >> (clapping) (music). >> ready for flight up to the sky. >> christmas gets us in the meadow. >> going to show you where the party is at. >> christmas and i'm really getting in the meadow. >> (music). >> come on now we're going to party. >> getting started. >> (music). >> i'm in the meadow. >> yeah. happy christmas. >> (music. >> ). >> happy holidays. >> happy holidays. >> while the merry bells keep ringing. happy holidays to you. >> (music). >> to you. >> to you. >> (music). >> on every wall - christmas everywhere you look at give the world a holiday. make it stagger and jingleing. >> (music). >> (singing). >> christmas is everywhere you look at. >> give the world a holiday. >> make it sparkle. >> (music). >> ringing and jingling we're having a sw

and this disagreement you are referencing it is my understanding that the disagreement between the omb am i correct about that? >> that is correct. >> if we took omb's interpretation would dfc actually be more constrained in providing political risk insurance and opec was? >> are very well informed. yes that is exactly the case. the issue there is whether we would need to obligate subsidy against our appropriation against political risk insurance. not something opec ever did or we viewed we've ever had to do. and in situations like ukraine, which is obviously a greater risk than most other markets today for clear reasons the amount of subsidy that would have to be obligated if we were even allowed to do that would be very large or we would have to price the product in a way that no person would ever accept that pricing. and use the tool to begin with. >> i appreciate that. i was here for the discussions over transforming opec into dfc. i think i can speak at least for most members the idea was to expand the authorities of dfc compared to opec not constrained them in any way from what o

in a letter to congress, the omb director said money is swiftly running out and so is time.nd on wednesday, senate republicans blocked a bill that included more aid for ukraine as they and their counterparts in the house demand significant changes on immigration policy in return. what will this mean for ukraine's fight against russia? an what does it say about the republican party? joining me are kori schake and is now a senior fellow at american enterprise. she has a new article in foreign affairs, the case for conservative internationalism. and ann applebaum is from the atlantic and has a new prediction that trump will abandon nato if re-elected. ann, first, i want you to ask you, on ground, how -- what do things look like for ukraine? how bad is it. >> it is a stalemate but it makes it sound like fog is happening. the ukraines did not have the equipment or the force to break through all of the russian lines over the summer. they are now defending their territory, they're still trying to make breakthroughs in a few other places. the situation is incredibly dynamic. there i

the white house today, omb director shalonda young said it would essentially kneecap the battlefield without the u.s. to provide more weapons and equipment in the fight. she wrote in the letter saying, quote, no magical pot of funding available to meet this moment, and we are out of money, and nearly out of time. one of issues in the talks has been that republicans want to see policy changes when and house speaker mike j johnson responded to the letter in a tweet saying, that one, the administration has outlighted a forward for you, and that is something that the house republicans want to see more about, and the house republicans also said that any supplemental package must begin with our own border. and lauren fox said that there is some agreement when it comes to the border security talks broke down. so those talks are stalled, and really leaving it up in the air if they can get the ukraine and israel funding passed on capitol hill. >> no signs of progress yet. thank you, arlette. >> and joining us now co-founder john bres na han is with us. thank you for being with us. lots of to

points out, nobody like john kelly is willing to say stop, more people,'s smart people, the former omb guy. he knows how to make it happen for him, is that alarming do you think are accurate? >> i don't think necessarily the question of autocracy is an important one in legitimate want to talk about. you don't have to get there, the threshold is would it be bad taxi i will talk audience as well saying trump is not hitler, he could have repealed obama care. more seriously, you can come way short of being hitler and qualify is bad, trouble go in and is still going to be the incompetent guy he is, it's the point that jonathan is getting at, all the people around him will feel empowered to fight for the worst version of trump, the people that all the people despise, mitch mcconnell, you go down the list, these will be in effect circuit breakers who use trump to get things accomplished, now that is all gone and it's simply going to be a lot of intellects who think being turned down by the courts is a good thing for them because it lets them wager another battle about the legitimacy of the co

. >>> on monday, the white house issued a dire warning on ukraine in a letter to congress, the omb directord money is swiftly running out and so is time. on wednesday, senate republicans blocked a bill that included more aid for ukraine as they and their counterparts and the house demand significant changes on immigration policy in return. what will this mean for ukraine's fight against russia and what does it say about the republican party? joining me is acura shockey who served in george w. bush's administration and is now a senior fellow at the american prize institute and anne applebaum say staff righter at "the atlantic" and has an article that predicts trump will abandon nato if re-elected. welcome to you both. anne, first, i want to ask you on the ground what do things look like for ukraine? i was about to say how bad is it? >> so, it's often described as a stalemate, but that's actually an incorrect description because a stalemate makes it sound like nothing is happening. ukrainians did not have the equipment or the force to break through all of the russian lines over the summer. th

and it omb states updated guidance memorandum prior to the effective dates. date. that will come from omb but the federal highway administration will use the guidance to make sure we push that in her own queue and a are project sponsors get the information they need how it affects anything that touches federal highway. >> thank you out forward to oweo coming to my district. i have asked many times i know you will find some time to come in the near future. but that mr. chair i yield back. >> thank you. >> the chair recognizes mr. webster. execute mr. chairman. mr. secretary, if we continue on with what mr. massie was talking about with the jetblue spirits merger, and march of my colleagues all of my colleagues in florida and i sent you a letter and to the attorney general urging you to approve jetblue spirits merger. since that time you have made some public statements that have been complimentary towards the d.o.j. and challenge. in florida it jetblue is legally binding and made commitment to the florida attorney general to grow flights of this combined airline. cu

how do you think about that and how do you think of the fiscal situation and how it affects the omb andhose competing effects from the writ large structural deficits. >> i mean the way we thought about fiscal policy and monetary policy there's a lot of external factors that are not under our control. we just do the best we can and response in the same is true with the exchange rate government monetary policy all sorts of treatment grows. our job is to do the best job we can. they can't change everything. it's not under our control so with fiscal policy that congress' job to do whatever they think they need to do. my job is to save whatever it is sometimes it might make my job harder and sometimes it might make my job easier but that's the way the monetary policy works. on the fiscal side we typically don't comment as a former academic economist running a 6% of gdp. there is a financial crisis around the corner. long-term we have got to address it. what is your outlook for the longer term neutral rate. >> i had a whole speech on this at some point. the long-run neutral rates and my gener

things are really at an impasse, and the reason this is so important is you saw that letter earlier from omb arguing that there's no secret pot of money. there's nothing left for ukraine, and that's why it's so critical for congress to pass more funding by the end of the year. right now, that's looking seriously in doubt, poppy. >> lauren fox, thanks for the reporting. >>> well, a new report in the "new york times" details a pattern of quote, glaring vulnerabilities in america's air traffic controller system, including controllers drinking on the job, sleeping on the job, and drug use. the work force has gotten dramatically smaller due in part to high turnover in lack of funding. the times reports that quote, some controllers say they fear that a deadly crash is inevitable. pete pete muntean is following this story fors. this is an ominous and scary story to read. >> the faa is trying to debunk the story, and saying it's not reflective of the high standard of safety in the national airspace system. the bottom line is something we have been reporting for months, the air traffic control system

omb, for example, run by a black woman who's one of the most articulate people i ever saw in explaining which nobody can understand, including me, half the time. the supreme court, the bench, all of that is very important, but there are very serious people in charge, including a defense department that nobody has ever put people at that level before. that's a major issue. we're about to have our first woman head of the joint chiefs of staff. this is an incredible thing that biden gets no credit for. he needs to get that credit. >>> we have done more on climate change than ever before, and biden is not even through his first term. more on turning the economy around, more for rural areas, putting in chip plants. it's an extraordinary record. here's my suggestion. he's 82 years old, young people want somebody younger. fine get your influencers out on tiktok, get them out on all the people that listen -- they adopt listen to twitter anymore, because it's owned by a right-winger, but get out to other places, and don't do it yourself. you have a whole lot of young people who look like the res

the omb direct wrote earlier this week, without congressional action, by the end of the year we'll run out of resources, produce more weapons, and equipment for ukraine and to provide equipment from u.s. military stocks. there's no magical part of funding available to meet this moment. we're out of money, and nearly out of time. so, without our help, the ukrainian people will be in a very desperate situation. we need to help them. we need to help our allies in israel. we need to help those in taiwan. and we need to help the innocent victims of conflicts throughout the world. so, this one-shot deal doesn't cut it. we have to come together, work tog together, and deliver the assistance to ukraine, to i israel, to taiwan, humanitarian aid and aid to our border. and i hope we can do that. with that, mr. president, i would yield to senator klobuchar. ms. klobuchar: thank you. the presiding officer: the senator from minnesota. ms. klobuchar: mr. president, reserving the right to object. i rise today alongside my colleagues, senator murray, senator reed, i see senator shaheen, schatz, and sen

mean, we have been very, very clear about the supplemental and how important it is as you've seen, omben out there on the different networks making the case, and one of the things that she has said is that it's stunning, stunning that we have gotten to this point, right. it's stunning this we have gotten to this point. and that republicans in congress willing to give putin a gift, the greatest gift putin could hope for. that's what we are seeing. and so they are playing chicken with our national security, that's what we are seeing here and history will remember them harshly. and so as it relates to outreach, we have been very clear that we have had those discussions with them on a regular basis and that -- but the path forward is very clear. the path forward is they need to get this done and you know, this is -- this is something that the president was very loud about, very clear about yesterday when he spoke to the american people in front of all, many of you, many of your colleagues, he made his message really clear that we need to get this done, congress needs to get moving forward

the omb direct wrote earlier this week, without congressional action, by the end of the year we'll run out of resources, produce more weapons, and equipment for ukraine and to provide equipment from u.s. military stocks. there's no magical part of funding available to meet this moment. we're out of money, and nearly out of time. so, without our help, the ukrainian people will be in a very desperate situation. we need to help them. we need to help our allies in israel. we need to help those in taiwan. and we need to help the innocent victims of conflicts throughout the world. so, this one-shot deal doesn't cut it. we have to come together, work tog together, and deliver the assistance to ukraine, to i israel, to taiwan, humanitarian aid and aid to our border. and i hope we can do that. with that, mr. president, i would yield to senator klobuchar. ms. klobuchar: thank you. the presiding officer: the senator from minnesota. ms. klobuchar: mr. president, reserving the right to object. i rise today alongside my colleagues, senator murray, senator reed, i see senator shaheen, schatz, and sen
