this afternoon in the oval president biden signing to law his relief bill.ge includes $1400 payments directly to many americans. the white houseays people could see that money in their bank accounts as soon as this weekend. joining me from the white house is our north american editor. thanks very much for joining us. of course, joe biden painting this aa big victory for the new biden administration but republicans say all the signs are that the american economy is going to boom this year anyway. do we need it? john: the republican argument is that this is profligate spending. you are opening up the sluice gates and money is going to go gushing around. and be badly spent. against that is pulling data from people by the pew research center showing that 70% of americans approve of this package, the stingless package that joe biden has pushed through congress. -- the stimulus package. how many times have i spoken to inset america is split 50/50. they are not split on this. joe biden is enjoying a lot of support from a lot of republicans as well as democrats for

that we could because trees were falling down around us everywhere and headed straight for gallipoli ovalryone took refuge. we had 360—degree fires burning around us. everything was burning, absolutely everything. things were exploding, gas bottles were exploding, the petrol station was exploding, and then we watched everything burned. your training kicks in and you do what you're trained to do. and at that particular time, believe it or not, i was not scared. it was not until afterwards, when we were on the oval and you actually had time to reflect, that i actually stopped and thought, "i was so close to losing my life." there were still local community there, and they were all coming to us and asking for our help and asking for bottles of water that we had on our trucks — because everybody�*s lungs were just like as if they were burned from the heat in the air. and we could see the magnitude of the loss of property that was taking place before our eyes. at that point in time, we didn't know the loss of life. the impact that it's had on the communities themselves and the people, and the

and i learned in the course of my reporting of an oval office meeting where the president was meeting with one of his political supporters, mike pence came in to give the president an update on the movement of this navy ship saying it was ready to take off to seattle but they were also noting that california had requested it as well. and trump said to them, wait a minute, wait a minute that jerk in washington state he's been awful, gavin -- meaning gavin newsom the governor of california, has been saying the nicest things about me. let's give it to gavin. and then he actually, brian, yelled out to his secretary sitting right outside the oval office, molly, get gavin on the phone. and sure enough gavin newsom is on the phone in a few minutes. he puts them on speakerphone and says, gavin, i've got this navy ship. are know you want it, that jerk in washington wants it. you've been saying the nicest things about me. don't you think i should give it to you? and to his credit i'm told gavin newsom said, look, your people, the navy, they'll give it to wherever it can be used most effectively

he is getting his message out tonight from the oval office. i think his emperment is spot on. largest expansion we have had just the great depression. and republicans, they seem -- and they are hit on the red. they are confused. fox doesn't know what to say. the senate republicans, they just mumbling and groaning. it's odd they had a pretty big election. this is not a huge election for the democrats and they just run with it right now. and the republicans have -- they are in dr. seuss land somewhere. they don't have their footing. right now this is all democrats all the time. >> well, one in doubt, they can go after women in the military. they already thought of that. mike, i want to play for you a bit of nancy pelosi. we will talk about it on the other side. >> it's remarkable legislation. unfortunately, republicans, as i said, vote no and take the doug. you see some of them saying this is a good thing, but they couldn't make the vote. >> vote no and take the dough. we -- he tweeted in support of the restaurant industry after he voted no, and the localities that can send it b

have some of that sense of humility that presidents need to have when they are in the oval office. will as we know that did not happen. it was always all about him, his personal, his financial, his partisan political advantage. it really was tragic to watch. everything what he said after charleston all the way up through his absolute indifference and negligent during covid and all the cost that imposed to his behavior in the face of legitimate and peaceful protest following the killings of george floyd and others to obviously his final act even those that are controlled by republican governors and legislatures. he never grew into the job. he never accepted the awesome responsibility that goes with being president. and i am just so grateful beyond words that president biden is not only in the office behaving as we should expect a president to behave, doing the work, having the kind of engagement on the issues that any president should have. i am hoping as i said earlier that the republican party will find its sole. will find its center again and understand the thought they could con

peter alexander asked president joe biden about that today in the oval office. >> i think it's a big mistake. look, i hope everybody has realized by now these masks make a difference. we are on the cusp of being able to fundamentally change the nature of this disease because of the way in which we're able to get vaccines in people's arms. able to move it up to end of may to have enough to get every adult american a shot. and the last thing, last thing we need is neanderthal thinking that everything is fine, take off your mask, forget it. we have the vaccine to do it, get the shot and second shot, they're going to take time. it's critical, critical, critical, critical that they follow the science, wash your hands, hot water, do it frequently. wear a mask, and stay socially distanced. and i know you all know that. i wish the heck some of our elected officials knew it. >> leading off discussion tonight, former democratic congressman beto o'rourke of texas, founder of foundation to elect democrats in texas. thanks for joining us. get your reaction to governor abbott saying forget about i

in these briefer q&a's but unlike his predecessor, you know, if you are asking him a question in an oval office spray, his answers are usually one line or very brief, whereas former president trump would hold court for 10 or 15 minutes at a time. so, there is pressure to get the sort of extended press conference where the american people can hear his views on issues of the day. we will see how long it ends up being. there is an effort from the white house to have it in a larger setting where more reporters can be accommodated despite the pandemic, where people can space out. we will see how it goes, but it will be interesting to see that first big press conference. host: our viewers and listeners can read you >> alaska republican senator dan sullivan is expected to talk about u.s.-china relations today, scheduled to speak of the atlantic council. we will have live coverage when it starts, set at 6:30. you can also listen live on the c-span radio app. >> charting someone based on race, gender or religion is always wrong. under consideration, this could interpreted to ban women's colleges

as we wrap up the month of march, here's a meeting president biden hosted in the oval office with the taoiseach of ireland to mark st. patrick's day. the president opens with the shootings in atlanta and speaks of the importance of the u.s., ireland relationship. >> i am very concerned, because, as you know, i was speaking to asian americans for the last couple of months. i think it is very troubling, but i am making no connection at this moment of the motivation of the killer. i am waiting for an answer as the investigation proceeds from the fbi and the justice department. i will have more to say when the investigation is complete. now, i want to say happy st. patrick's day. next year and washington, next year in washington, for years, as you know, taoiseach, we celebrated st. patrick's day and i put on a show at my home at the vice presidents residents with leading irish americans, your ambassador, our ambassador, as well as some of the prelate's who were involved with us and it was always a good time. when you would go into this very office, the tee sick would sit there and i would

mr biden wasn't taking any questions from the reporters gathered in the oval office but he is due toa nationally televised address in the us in the next hour — we will, of course, bring you that here on bbc news. well, for more on what that address may hold, i'm joined by the bbc�*s laura trevelyan from washington. what can we expect? this is president biden is first prime time 0val president biden is first prime time oval office address to americans. and his aides have said in the last 15 minutes that they expect the president to set a goal of allowing americans to gather in small groups on thejuly four groups on the july four holiday. that's an american independence day. that's a major step forward after a devastating year in which more than half a million americans have died of covid. also currently, it's of a mess, the system is system is who is eligible to get a vaccine in the states. every single state and there are 50 of them, they draw up their own eligibility list. so president biden is going to direct states, we are told to make every adult american eligible to receive a va

there's a guy in the oval office allegedly running the country who appears to be struggling cognitively when the mob cannot be bothered to do their jobs. they are actively willfully putting their heads in the sand. that would be nbc, abc, cbs, msdnc, fake news cnn. do any of you guys have any news divisions at all? do have journalists working for you are not? be honest with you and your viewers. if you're just a mouthpiece for the dnc, in other words if you want to be a talk show host. i'm a member of the press but iu am a talk show host. i have opinions, i tell everybody up front i'm registered conservative and yeah i like donald trump as president because during the trump administration, the coverage was a little more aggressive, don't you think? according to nearly all of their coverage, donald trump could into a single thing right. in fact, theyco predicted the president's plan to develop and distribute covid-19 vaccines -- yes, known as operation warp speed -- would be an utter failure. he not only got it done and got a million in peoples arms a day, 36 million total, but he did it

also exactly one year ago the former president spoke to the nation from the oval office. >> the vast majority of americans, the risk is very, very low. >> in the grueling 12 months since, we became the world leader in confirmed cases, now nearing 30 million. we also lead the world in deaths. well over half a million souls have been lost thus far. the trump house deliberately downplayed the virus in the midst of political fights over how to contain it. shutting down the country led to an unimaginable economic toll. millions were thrown out of work. this afternoon one day ahead of schedule biden signed the nearly $2 trillion rescue plan that congress passed just yesterday. the white house says americans should start seeing their $1,400 relief checks within these next few days. >> people can expect to start seeing direct deposits hit their bank accounts as early as this weekend. >> and starting monday the president and vice president stort a cross-country messaging tour to preview the relief that americans can expect from this. the democrats did this alone. not a single republican voted

the oval office remains open to bipartisan work and i expect he will continue to work with and reach out to democrats, of course, but also republicans about ways to work together. and he's had a number of bipartisan meetings, even in the last few weeks. a couple on infrastructure, on cancer, he feels there is a path forward. we are not going to allow bipartisanship to be defined by one's zip code. many of the republicans who voted against this are outliers and are against the grain of what people in their own districts supported. they may be getting questions about that once relief goes out, once schools are able to upgrade facilities and benefit from these checks. he remains open and hopeful about the opportunity for bipartisan work moving forward. reporter: why has the white house not said where this delegation went this weekend? press sec. psaki: i can confirm that the delegation went to, the c.b.p. facility in texas. reporter: details on the relief. there doesn't seem transparency -- in the spirit of transparency secretary mayorkas promised. there was no cameras. there was no pre

so i waited in the anti room, and what seemed like forever, would eventually the oval oval office store opened, and honestly i thought the president we winked at me. and that was very unusual to say the least. i look at john airline and i look at canned blue, and asked what happened. john was smiling broadly, and can blue look like a bus had run over him. the president had instructed can, to tell senator anderson, that his decision stands, and anderson does not like it he can vote against it and he can go the four letter word himself. so on us that's what he said. so also are looking and said to me we are going to voiced the thao's pueblo people to the white house to present the message, and declare the president strong and firm support for this. so with president nixon did indeed on july 8th meet with the vice president the interior secretary, and rumsfeld, and john walls, also included with the president and vice president of and see i'll, and i was present as well. meeting in the cabinet room was a unique honor. it's almost exclusively reserved for meetings with a cabinet, governors,

>> i think there are reasons you want to maintain and respect the dignity of the oval office. not every participant sees it that way but for the most part we want to maintain a certain dignity to the oval office. you don't necessarily want the president embracing every praise or. fact at times, when you have things like for example the kennedy administration, jackie and -- did the twist in the white house and that was seen as very cutting edge. rock and roll wasn't introduced to the white house. gerald ford had a rock and roll performance at the white house, it was kind of a big deal. i think that the presidents embracing some of the technologies and the cultural phenomenon at the appropriate time. my original title for the book was from cicero to snarky, on jersey shore, cicero versus snookie, i'm glad i didn't name it, that because no one knows who snookie is today, so people need to be concerned about which cultural initiatives they embrace. >> absolutely. we know that presidents can be influenced by culture. but does it ever work the other way? do president sever influence

biden engages in brief or q&a's, but unlike his predecessor, if you ask joe biden a question in the oval office, his answers are usually one line or very brief. whereas former president trump would hold court for sometimes 10, 15 minutes at a time. certainly he is not as engaged with the press for as long as a time, so there is pressure to get this extended press conference where the american people can hear the president's views on issues of the day. we will see how long it ends up being. i think there is an effort from the white house to have it in a larger setting, where more reporters can be accommodated, despite the pandemic, where people can space out. we will see how it goes. it will be interesting to see the first big press conference. host: our viewers and listeners can read your reporting on it, brett samuels with the hill. thanks for the update this morning. guest: things are having me. >> tonight on c-span, a hearing on lgbtq rights. then an update on the pandemic from the covid-19 response team. later, another chance to hear from former president barack obama talking about t

us president joe biden speaking there in the oval office historic legislation the president calls it as he signed the long awaited rescue package for pandemic americans into law and one thing is certainly historic the bottom line after a large amount of argument in congress the final figure is $1.00 trillion dollars that is the biggest stimulus package of all time if you go towards everything from child care support to business relief to coronavirus vaccinations but republicans and others are concerned about the size of the package with u.s. national debt currently at around $28.00 trillion dollars and rising by the end of the year it is expected to exceed the size of the u.s. economy and having a national debt that's bigger than your g.d.p. is something that many european countries already except italy's debt size is a 154 percent the size of its economy france is. also bigger germany is at 70 percent of its g.d.p. but even that is above the 60 percent maximum expected of e.u. member countries. not one of those warning of rising debt levels is claimants foose tease the president of

his top priority the moment he set foot in the oval office.hat his administration has been working for publicly and behind the scenes every single day since they set foot in the oval office. whether direct payments, hundreds of billions, for schools, vaccine development, for testing programs, all across the board. including several propositions or provisions that go much further. they're temporary. but when you talk about the child tax credit and these are proposals that democrats have been trying to find a way to get into law for years now. but they're about to, but on a temporary basis. the biggest question for tens of thousands of americans, how long is it going to take to get the stimulus checks. right now, the president says by the end of the month. the administration wants to get the checks out in days, or at least a couple of weeks. and they're going to build on what the last administration was going to put in place. keep in mind, the checks have gone out from the treasure department to direct deposits, or if they don't have that, direc

so the oval office is open.wants to do things like infrastructure, immigration, issues like that that there has historically been support on both sides of the aisle. he didn't delay on this one, don. as you know, he was supportive of moving forward with reconciliation. a very washington term. a way that meant it didn't require more than 50 votes. and that's how we're getting this relief out to the american people as quickly as we can. so he is not going to be pulled around. his focus is on delivering, but he still wants to work with democrats and republicans. he thinks there is an opportunity to continue to do that. >> listen, let's -- realistically here, how are you going to get republicans on board for any other legislation? who can you go to to work with? because even the people who you engage with and met with, they didn't come on board. zero republicans, jen. >> you're totally right, don. and you were talking a little earlier in your show about that, and we also have seen polling, more than 70% of the publi

. >> wolf, from the moment president joe biden walked into the oval office 47 days ago, getting a handle on the pandemic was his and his administration's prior focus. in addition, this $1.9 trillion relief package that the president will likely sign into law by the end of this week. >> and one more thing. this plan is historic. >> reporter: tonight, president joe biden on the verge of clinching a transformative victory as he prepares to deliver his very first prime time address this week. >> as amended is passed. >> reporter: the senate completing its marathon session, passing the relief bill with the house planning to confirm it this week and biden making clear he is unequivocally ready to sign. >> as soon as i get it. >> reporter: even as his administration continues to work behind the scenes to ensure the pathway is clear. >> our focus continues to be on the american rescue plan, getting it across the finish line. the president is taking nothing for granted. >> reporter: the gop opposition unyielding. not a sngle house or senate republican voting for the plan. >> this isn't a pandemic

he lost the oval office. he lost the senate and he lost the house for them.emocrats start understanding is that he is the republican party. is he mainstream republicanism at this point and, you know, we can't play by the rules because the republicans threw the rule book out. a and, you know, the longer we pretend that that's not the case, the longer we're at a disadvantage. and i don't mean this in partisan terms. i think the country suffers when we have one major political party that isn't functioning. because right now the republican party, as it exists currently, is an anti-democratic party that is perfectly comfortable embracing tactics to stay in power which is why i see this increase in voter suppression laws that are being considered in over 33 states very, very troubling. >> when you say anti-democratic, you mean democratic small d, anti-democracy? >> yes. >> trump's tax returns from 2011 all the way through 2019 now in the hands of the manhattan district attorney. how worried do you think your uncle should be? >> he should be extremely wo worried, be

well, i think there are reasons we want to maintain the respect and dignity of the oval office. not every not every participant or inhabitants as felt that way but but for the most part we want to maintain a certain dignity to the oval office and you don't necessarily want the president embracing every phrase or every fad so at times when you had things like for example in the kennedy administration, jackie and jfk did the twist in the white house that was seen as kind of very cutting edge rock and roll wasn't necessarily introduced to the white house for a long time gerald ford. had a rock and roll performance at the at the white house that was seems that is kind of a big deal. so i think the president embraced some of these technologies and embrace some of these cultural phenomenon at the appropriate time, and you know if my original title for the book was from cicero to snooki because snooki on jersey shore was a big deal at the time and i was trying to talk about the timelessness of something like cicero versus the fattishness of someone like snooki. i'm glad i didn't name i

you could maybe comment on a current relationship with britain where biden threw out the bust in the ovalffice of churchill after they gave it to us. that is our closest ally. we are trying to pivot to our new alliance with australia, new zealand, and canada. you know, biden is still trying to keep us in this nato thing. what do you think? guest: that is a great question. as always with every new administration, every new leader in britain or here there is a new chapter that is written about the special relationship and we are writing a new chapter today. as far as the bust in the oval office, i think the statue that was on loan from the british embassy after 9/11 has gone back and forth in and out of the office. there is a happened to know a bust of winston churchill in the private residence. it is been there since 1965. i think there is no threat that just because the statue has moved around in the white house that the special relationship would fail. that is one thing i know for certain. i also know -- we heard from the investor to the united states, the british abbasid are, yesterday

she waited near the oval office and he left the meeting with the congress leaders, congressional leaders and he came in and he sat down and she began to apply the makeup, and he began to cry, weeping. she couldn't keep the makeup on because of the tears, and he was just sort of, you know, blubbering. she began to panic because here it was three or four minutes to there and she couldn't keep the makeup on because he kept streaking. she filed remembered something that happened the year before at the christmas party when she was there and they were decorating the christmas tree, and king chem bio, nixon's iversen center, kept bumping into the treatment knocking down the ornaments. lillian said, why don't you -- i'll take the dog and walked the dog up into the bathroom, and before she could get the dog, she looked out and there's the president himself with the dog, and the two of them go into toward the bathroom and they get the president of the united states and lillian and the dog in the bathroom. suddenly the door behind them closes and locks. and there's lillian trapped in the bathroom w
