they also remembered his last oval office address, the early days of the pandemic, which was a disaster and sowed confusion and fear. they opted not to do it. he's remained kwooi eed quiet a sight, except for the inflammatory tweets. >> jon meacham, historically, i know there are no parallels, but we need to bring it up right now. we're in the middle of a recession turning into a depression. we're in the middle of the worst pandemic, the worst health care crisis in over a century. the worst rioting since 1968. over the course of this year, where the president has faced unprecedented economic hardship since 1929, unprecedented health care crisis since 1918, now unprecedented rioting since 1968, we have a president whose in the middle of this incredible shrinking act. he is doing little more than tweeting. >> as you say, the analogies are imprecise, and i hate to throw his predecessors into the corner with him, but this is a lot like the spring -- winter and spring of 1968, when president johnson

brian: here's the oval office.t truman wasn't out of reach god, lincoln was not a rich guy, but this is a this is not an upgrade for your lifestyle. president trump: but there is something special about this. it's like air force one, you get on it and you say whose plane is nicer but when you say it's air force one, air force one is air force one. this is the white house. i find it to be a magnificent building. when i look at that building and i look at it even from that angle because you're talking about the rose garden and how many people get to see the rose garden? it's one of those oedipal pieces. brian: every president chooses what to put around him but you chose lincoln as a bust and as a picture. andrew jackson and is that teddy roosevelt? b6 yes we wonder why? president trump: were taking down the statue of teddy roosevelt, explained that one. benjamin franklin. thomas jefferson. go to washington over here. brian: people say jackson and he took his case to the people which is similar to your run so he had o

they proceeded to the oval office. i was not permitted to go into the oval office so i waited very anxiously in the anteroom. what seemed like literally forever but eventually the oval office door opened, and honest, i thought the president winked at me. that was very unusual, to say the least. i looked at john ehrlichman and ken and asked what happened. john was smiling broadly and ken looked like a bus had run over him. the president had instructed ken to tell senator anderson that his decision stands. and if anderson did not like it, he could vote against the abm and he could go -- and i can't say this in mixed company -- the four letter word himself. [laughter] honest, he did. he said, we are going to invite the taos pueblo people to the white house to present the message in front of the delegation and declare the president's strong and firm support for the return of blue lake. on july 8, president nixon did meet with the delegation with the vice president, the interior secretary, and john ehrlichman. also included

do you think he should deliver an oval office address to the nation. you know i wouldn't trust that if he delivered an oval office address that it would be one with empathy and compassion one that understood. why people are still so angry and hurt. with what's happened in minneapolis and it and in cities across the country let's be clear it happens again and again and again and it's happened you know for a very very long time now we have cell phones and people can take pictures and videos we didn't have that before but we know it happened you know i grew up on the east side of los angeles and i can tell you as a young boy we were often is terrified of law enforcement as we were of the gangs now a lot has changed and the vast majority of our law enforcement officers understand nobody is above the law not a politician not a priest or a police officer and i think what we all have to say coming out of what's happened in minneapolis and in cities across the country that we're not going to tolerate this anymore that we're going to hold people accountable tha

cbs news has learned about an oval office show-down monday morning after the president asked membershis cabinet to deploy 10,000 active-duty troops to u.s. streets. today, president trump has kept a low profile only speak out on twitter but protests are close enough to the white house that he can see them. here's ben tracy. >> reporter: after last weekend's large and sometimes violent protest near the white house, cbs news has learned that immediately. during a oval office monday, attorney general bill barr, defense secretary mark esper, and chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, mark milley, all recommended against it. >> don't be proud. get the job done. >> reporter: president trump then got on the phone with the nation's governors, berating them for looking weak if they didn't call in the national guard. >> you have to dominate the streets. you can't let what's happening happen. it's called dominate the stroots. >> reporter: a senior defense department if you believe also tells cbs news that president trump ideal at the defense secretary after he broke with the president and publi

second, i worked in two at white houses, what happens in the oval office stays in the oval office, that's can have candid communication with your top teams. so i don't know if it's true or not, bob lighthizer testified before us last week at a hearing that what the book says with regard to the president's relationship with president xi and specifically in japan, that was not accurate so i don't know if it's true or not but what i do know is that it's tough negotiating with china, i've done it, the president negotiated in phase one, the tough one is going to be phase two and i think that's equally important. >> neil: you know, i don't want to belabor the point, you mentioned working in two different administrations. what amazes me with this administration, may be a sign of our divisive times, the tell-all books that have come out, when the president is still in office. usually there are some years that go by before you get that sort of stuff. not all the time but man oh, man, it's constant. >> well, publishers are working overtime, the book selling and i think there is a lack of respect fo

on certain things, he has not done that traditional, which sometimes we will see from presidents oval office address on race or whatever. he said i want to concentrate on the economy, i want to concentrate on getting things back. but i told him, as a person of color, there is no glossing over, there is no kind of driving by the fact that some of his tweets during the protesting and some of the rioting and looting have been incendiary. i asked him specifically about one of those. you look at me, and i am harris on tv. but i am a black woman. i am a mom. and, you know, when -- and we talked about it, but we have not seen you come out and be that consoler in this instance, and the tweets, when the looting starts, the shooting starts, why those words? >> that is an expression that i have heard over the years. >> do you know where it comes from? >> i think the mayor of philadelphia. >> no, it comes from 1967, i was about 18 months at the time, everyone is shooting, but it was from the chief of police in miami, he was cracking down, and he meant when he said. and he said i don't even care if it ma

one person who sits behind the resolute desk in the oval office. she's not offended anymore. the truth always catches up to people though. even those in the white house. hypocrisy. unbelievable. three most populated states in the country hitting all time highs for coronavirus cases. even though we know what to do to stop it. our very own dr. sanjay gupta is the leading expert on this. what we have to do now. right after the break. ahoy! gotcha! nooooo noooooo quick, the quicker picker upper! bounty picks up messes quicker and is 2x more absorbent, so you can use less. bounty, the quicker picker upper. you can't always stop for a fingerstick.betes with the freestyle libre 14 day system, a continuous glucose monitor, you don't have to. with a painless, one-second scan you can check your glucose with a smart phone or reader so you can stay in the moment. no matter where you are or what you're doing. ask your doctor for a prescription for the freestyle libre 14 day system. you can do it without fingersticks. learn more at freestylelibre.us. our bargain detergent couldn't keep up.

i got to know them. 44 or so people would come up to the oval office. first it was normal. i said, "all right, let's do it." second year i said, "why are you back again?" here i said, "why are you here?" and they said, "for ever years d to come back every year. we are to beg for money." i said, "you should be begging. you should be back at your colleges and universities in teaching." i got them long-term money, more than they had. much more than they had. and i got it permanent. they don't have to come back into washington, d.c. i said, "the only bad part is i won't see you again maybe." >> harris: [laughs] >> president trump: because they were great people. but i took care of that opportunity zone. i did that. prison reform. harris, honestly -- >> harris: those opportunity zones? >> president trump: the opportunity zones, vast amounts of money are going into areas that never got money. they are investing. the people had tax advantages, they get certain advantages, otherwise they won't put up their money. it affects tremendously the employment and areas that were absolutely

rosenstein proposed he could potentially wear a recording device into the oval office to collect additionale on the president's true intentions. he said he thought it might be possible because he was not searched when he entered the white house. i told him i would discuss the opportunity with my investigative team and get back to him. of course it happened. you had the deputy attorney general of the united states talking to andrew mccabe, the top fbi official at the time, about wearing a wire and spying on the president the oval office? the same document, more documents we have from rosenstein's own e-mails show that conversation about the 25th amendment took place. and, of course, all part of that discussion was mueller. so the coup was about wearing a wire, invoking the 25th and appointing a counsel. and the special counsel was appointed, that's for sure. lou: well, you know, rod rosenstein is i such a nice fellow -- is such a nice fellow, and he has -- >> very personally, i've met him once or twice. [laughter] lou: i'm, i'm just saying. wanted you to hear what he had to say about the fbi

obama clearly approving, saying these are unusual times, that obama in the oval office saying that his team should "have the right people on it." obama wanted anti-trump zealots who are ready and willing to take down general flynn page i be telling the trump transition team are not telling them things? now we know why the seventh floor, the fbi the day before along with peter strzok decided to reopen a closed case against general flynn after it was dead in the water 24 hours earlier. now we know why susan rice wrote the biggest email to herself on donald trump's inauguration day 15 days later, obama's last day in office saying "barack wanted everything to be done by the book." and we also know why sally yates when she spoke to the house intelligence committee. we started this investigation in march of 2017, we know why lisa page texted that obama wants to know everything we are doing. this all came from the very top. the obama administration, obama loyalist and the doj were smearing, destroying anybody in donald trump's orbit because they wanted to undo a duly elected president. they t

host who has the command of a heart rate base is now sitting in the oval office so it will be an uphill climb at best make that a national holiday and white of the open the oval office we got in contact with you today again professor because there is a changing awareness in the country and awareness of the past that is being manifest in numerous ways for example statues of confederate leaders are being taken down in the us self one standout case is the pending removal of the confederacy's main hero general robert e. lee in richmond virginia now this is the virginia governor ralph northam a few days ago announcing that the statue of the statue would come down take a listen to what he said yes that statue has been there for a long time but it was wrong then and it is wrong now. so we're taking a damn i know some will protest some will say lee was an honorable man i know many people will be angry but my friends i believe in a virginia that studies its past in an honest way i believe that when we learn more we can do more and i believe that when we learn more when we take that honest look a

. >> somehow, sitting in the oval office, behind that beautiful, resolute desk. the great, resolute desk. i think wearing a face mask, as i greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens, i don't know. somehow, i don't see it for myself. >> that was a cue to everyone who supports the president that they didn't have to wear a mask. but now, it looks like the reality of the virus is catching up to a lot of members of his own party. republicans, who usually follow his lead. there is texas governor greg abbott. he was one of the first to reopen his state. that was back on may 1st. >> because the spread is -- is so rampant right now, there's never a reason for you to have to leave your home, unless you do need to go out. the safest place for you is at your home. >> hmm. quite a 180 from the governor who reopened his state, almost two months ago. now, he's telling people to stay home? where is the sense in that? and then, there is senator john cornyn, another texan. he is contradicting the president's insistence that he wants to slow down testing. saying i

obama called her into the oval office. she doesn't know why. that was quite an e-mail you sent. they were shocked that they even knew about that. those three are the levers that they have to control. in terms of which one has the best policy results. i think it's hard to say. ideological alignment is helpful. because then you know the president and where they will go with them. even though they were's fighting in the white house. the idea of reagan ruled. people knew generally what reagan wanted to and where he wanted to go. the fact of where they wanted to go. in a general policy direction. the administration and the process. extremely important. it was committed as a process. at someone and that that went around the process. and then presidential powers also set the tone. i think if you force me to rank them i would put the process first note with respect to your second question i think the press played an important role. i think we needed to have a press that will let us know what's going on. we know more about fighting in the white house today. with each one that i looked at

i actually think it is a different foreign-policy challenge whoever is sitting in the oval office next time around. >> host: excellent question. >> next question from fred. please accept the unmute button now. >> guest: i'm not hearing anything so we might go to the next question. >> caller: did you get that? >> host: you are on. >> caller: that was spectacular. somewhat related, you said today very compelling in terms of america's goal, how do we make this follow. whether it is on trade or america's role in the world to see this. americans benefited honestly by roles in global currency, this is an elite idea but they don't see that. it is a way people see that it creates a lot of jobs but it seems hard to make the case to the american public. >> guest: a great question. i would argue we have been stunningly well served in broad strokes since world war ii. i'm not going to say we didn't make errors, we obviously did in vietnam and iraq and all that, strategic errors but by and large, safer, avoided major power conflict, trade on balance has been a great driver of american economic impr

from the oval office to deliver it was in the rose garden and he was fine i don't know how steep those steps were i don't know of the steps or west i make nothing of it and as you can sound. i have no i am no longer really partisan anymore and no longer taking sides anymore i've lost that and i'm glad you lost it and those things really should be held responsible for which it is a lack of empathy which is a lack. of understanding a fear that so many people have i had it i acknowledged it the president was very critical of a couple reporters and the questions they asked because he said you're just afraid i'm afraid and i meant this and if you wanted to sit dismiss me because i'm afraid fine go ahead but i don't want to criticize him on things that either are undeserved or i feel don't don't signify anything and so i don't think he said i think that's got nothing to do with it and there are other things that i'm much more important. right but it's things as we sum up in don't look very rosy for the president correct what war is going to take a miracle to turn it around is he that far beh

the way they use to the fbi and the intelligence agencies, because all the way up to the oval office,telling everybody that from day one, no way a president of the united states doesn't know what his consiglio areas aresn doing. the fbi was used to spy on candidate trump, the fbi used waste used with the fisa court, coordinated with the hillary campaign and the phony dossier. they tried to criminalize this case with the employment of a special prosecutor. dr. russia collusion, the only people in modern history who have colluded with the russians are the democrats, from fdr and eldridge hiss to ted kennedy and beyond. this president has been put through the ringer. it may make him the enemy. our media, you know, the russian media is more free and more honest and then the american media. at least they admit, mouthpiece for a dictator. the american media doesn't admit that is what they are, but that is exactly what they are. what happened to general flynn was a disgrace, what happened to the president of united states and his family is a disgrace. we have an attorney general and u.s. att

the president's last formal address in mid-march from the oval office dealing with the growing coronavirus crisis was not viewed internally as a success. since the white house had to clarify several points from the hastily written speech, which trump appeared uncomfortable delivering. your thoughts this morning on the president's leadership, we'll show you a headline from "usa today" and read more of this in a bit. susan page, their chief washington bureau chief, i should say, trump is failing the text of leadership. that's the headline of her piece this morning. dalia first up in miami, florida. good morning. go ahead. caller: good morning. i just want to say that president trump, i agree with him, and i'm very glad that he's the president. lead e of being able to the country was obama. ok? an tough ahas grown and grown and grown, and no one wants to o anything about it. down near miami last night, by 10:00, the city was quiet. the night before, they had 57 arrests. only 13 people lived in miami. they tried to loot last night a c.v.s. store. the police moved in, wouldn't allow it. there w

defense secretary mark esper and attorney general bill barr pushed back in #dñr heated oval office meeting hours later, this moment, as police in riot gear moved peaceful protesters for a presidential photo op. 7:00 p.m. saturday, and what a difference a week makes. gone are the officers in riot gear, replaced by a sea of peaceful demonstrators with a serious message. they say they're not leaving until they're heard. we met the gebra family at the white house. it was 11-year-old's ezira idea to come. throughout this country, a difficult conversation about race, even between protesters and police. >> we're here to listen. we're here to hear you out, and, you know, i absolutely commend what you're doing. >> i want systemic change. >> reporter: those 10,000 active-duty troops that president trump wanted were never deployed, but thousands of national guard from around the country were. d.c.'s mayor is deunderstand maaing they be sent home. margaret. >> brennan: earlier this morning, i went to the jupt to speak with attorney general bill barr. in his role as the nation's top law enforcement off

president trump getting ready to make a statement, walk out of the oval office, go down the carpet and go to the podium and read a statement. you see the teleprompters set up. once again there is the attorney general bill bar barr. i don't know if he is leaving or sticking around. protesters have gathered as well. that was bill barr clearly right there. maybe he just wants to see what is going on. you see him with his security and aids standing right there behind the police lines of lafayette park. i wonder if he is going to walk back to the white house and be there when the president makes his statement in a few moments. right now he's very close to where the action is right across the street on pennsylvania avenue. a very sensitive moment unfolding right now. i have no idea why bill barr decided to go there. he may have just wanted to see the demonstrators, see the police on the scene, get a firsthand account. looks like he's walking back away from the police lines at lafayette park and towards the white house. once again we are awaiting the president of the united states. don lemon,

lock him in the oval office, let him do it we want to. and that's why he's with president obama. even after he won he did not endorse him for a long time. and he's fighting for sleepy joe, he feels strongly about it and so strongly he was fighting, he wanted everybody to win but joe. if you remember in my campaign, he thought harder than crooked hillary. >> president obama fought harder, he said you cannot let him win, you cannot, he was all over the place, he said this guy is spending all of his time campaigning against me. who one, that is right. [cheering] and don't forget, don't forget, i'm only here because of him and biden. i'm only here because of them because they did a good job, we would not have been there there would've been no reason. i'm only here because of president obama and the job he did and sleepy joe biden in the job that he didn't do rather than he did a good job for his son, i'm all here because of them otherwise they wouldn't be here, people were very unhappy. the fake news does not reported, they were a very unhappy, there is tremendous anger, the audience

and sitting in the oval office and you have to now dismantle these radicals in the street.ou have to bring the countryhe together, you have to police these communities, what is the strategy? what you do? >> get a federal task force going and you perp walk any one of these people who ripped up a store, be thus not out of anyone, intimidated someone, so private property, you perp walk every single one of them. put them in handcuffs and let everybody see it. you let everybody understand you are a citizen of the u.s. of america and you have god-given rights and we will defend them. you have the rightht to protest, god bless you. we will defend that to the death. you do not have the right to violently attack people with fire extinguishers, to shoot someone the police officer with a bullet in his neck. that is note your right. i don't know who told you that but it was wrong. if you engage in any of this, that would take the d.a., secret service and anyone else with the gs 1811 title on law enforcement to go out and lock up every single person on these videos engaging in this, let

the oval office.f what they want to do, faith and family, god, country, freedom. [applause] [ [crowd chanting] >> unbelievable spirit, appreciate it, thanks very much but the radical left, they hate our history, they hate our values and they hate everything we prize as americans and we are right because our country didn't grow great with them. it grew great with you and your thought process and your ideology. the mob is trying to demolish our heritage so they can replace it with a new represses regime that they alone control. they are tearing down statues, desecrating monuments and purging dissenters. it is not the behavior of the peaceful political movements, it is the behavior of totalitarians and people that don't love our country, they don't love our country, the left is not trying to promote justice or equality or lift up the downtrodden, they have one goal, the pursuit of their own political power for whatever reason but that is their goal, that seems to be there goal. if you give power to peopl
