this is the oval office. you've seen most of the conversations take place in the oval office and the eob and the telephone. the cabinet room, there are a number of tapes, but the quality is so bad, they're barely discernible. that's just kind of the gray part are those that were not released yet by the time i had started on the project that resulted in finding a thousand conversations, 600 of which had never been previously released. so how was this system uncovered? how did we learn about this system? i think that it really starts right here. >> do i not in fact know if such a tape exist but if it does exist and has not been tampered with and is a complete transcript of what took place in the president's office, i think the committee should have this tape because i believe it will corroborate many things. mr. chairman, this concludes my lengthy statement. i apologize again for its length but i sought to comply with the committee's request to provide the committee with my broad overview of knowledge in this m

he said to his aides in the oval office. listen to them, these are my supporters, they want us to act tomorrow on january 6th, and even some of his own aides were shivering in the oval office that night. the president wouldn't close the doors. he wanted to hear the cries of his supporters. >> it's a chilling scene for the reader. it is so cinematic, and you do this in so many scenes where you take us beyond the important text. there's always an important text in the room of what was said, but then there's more in that room than what was said, and that for me is what the book is about. that's what distinguishes the book in so many ways from the news accounts and why you really to get the full picture of any one of these moments you really have to hold the book in your hands and see everything that occurred in these rooms. bob woodward, the danger of nuclear war is something that has been -- there's two moments that we're aware of, and we're aware of them from your reporting, one from the final days of richard nixon where you

there is another president of the united states who said anything like this at any point in the oval officeretty confident, at all times to the president was. >> not only caught where they confident, they understood how the american government worked. donald had no authority to invoke the insurrection act under those circumstances. and the fact that he felt thwarted just tells us how danger it is to put somebody in a position of that much power who won, doesn't understand what his job is. and two, is unwilling to learn. three, feels entitled to having absolute control in power. so, i think that we really dodged a bullet in the sense that donald it didn't have quite enough time to install the various departments. he was on his way to doing just that. >> there is a passage and hear about the first rally, the first rally donald had after covid started. he couldn't stand it anymore. on june 20th, 2020, he had that role in oklahoma. now, herman cain was there. herman cain died a few weeks later of covid-19. that event itself was considered a superspreader event. but it was a thinly populated tru

president biden in the oval office late today. congress has averted a government shutdown. but of course, now the question, will this infrastructure vote happen? roads, bridges, broadband. house speaker nancy pelosi working the phones with progressives who are demanding movement on the much larger $3.5 there human infrastructure bill. health care, child care, fighting climate change. tonight, moderate democratic senator joe manchin and the price tag he now says he'll accept. can they come up with a framework that they all agree on so they can then pass this smaller bipartisan bill tonight? what the house speaker said late today. rachel scott live on the hill. terry moran live at the white house. >>> the coronavirus and tonight, the vaccine mandates kicking in. workers refusing to get vaccinated now losing their jobs. the battle reaching a breaking point in some places. police escorting public health officials to safety in new hampshire. and tonight here, the new study. just how many americans who have had covid still have symptoms three to six months later? and what they're

the book is filled with trump lashing out and having temper tantrums in the oval office. advisers and cabinet officials in the book describe scenes that they say are like out of movies, full-metal jacket, "dr. strange" love. there are two quotes i want to read you, cia director gina haspel says of trump that he is, quote, like a 6 year old with a tantrum. secretary of state mike pompeo says he is in a very dark place right now, and there's a showdown between then-attorney general bill barr and president trump, and he sort of confronts trump about his chances of getting re-elected and he says to trump, they just think you're an -- you can read on the screen what he says. but -- >> we got it, yeah. >> -- the number of shouting matches, the -- word is used in this book more than i would say every quin ton tarantino movie, "the big lebowski" and another combined, it really shows how milley came to the point he was at because of just explosion after explosion. >> jamie, it is fascinating. obviously it is not just the expletives that got all of these officials' attention. >> ye

>> one thing that really stood out to us in our reporting is after pence leads the oval office, he looks white as a ghost, rattled. people who were seeing him at that time said he was shocked. he goes home. he has this dinner scheduled with donors that night that president trump stays at the white house and he opens the door to the oval office and out into the garden. 31 degrees outside -- [inaudible] getting ready for the rally. this is the big moment, and at the hotel you have giuliani,, steve bannon and other allies huddling together in the own sort of war room and out in the streets, those industries in washington that night reporting and it was chaos. cops fighting with protesters. .. bob woodward said to me it's almost reminded him of the send talking to the pictures on the walls in 1974 >> what's interesting about it and bob costa and i talked about this at length because when we discovered what hammond did, at this moment it's almost a mystical engagement trump has with the mob up there, the people and he's mesmerized by it and we discussed this. when nixon in his final days was

she joined an oval office meeting with president trump two days before the capitol riot. baby food manufacturers allowed products contaminated with heavy metals to remain on store shelves even after dangerous levels of the toxic chemicals were detected in their products. that's according to a new congressional report released wednesday which found baby food makers failed to recall and fit rice serials tested have arsenic levels above fda limits. in minnesota, canadian pipeline company enbridge said construction on the contested line 3 crude oil pipeline is complete and oil will start flowing on friday. indigenous leaders and land and water defenders, who have been resisting line 3 for years, often putting their own bodies on the line, vowed to continue the fight against the pipeline. line 3 is set to carry over half a million barrels of tar sands every day, threatening local waters and lands and doubling minnesota's greenhouse gas emissions. meanwhile, environmental activists celebrated the cancellation of the fracked gas penneast pipeline earlier this week. local residen

the prime minister of great britain took more questions in the oval office than the president of theted states. when will this end? >> sean: you have to understand. joe explained it over and over. he is not allowed. they will get mad at him. >> [laughing]. >> they might take away his little ice cream at the end of the night. do you believe there is no covid testing because the people they are letting in illegally. do you believe it's because they won't be here long. my kids didn't get in trouble for what they did but when they tried to insult my intelligence and lie to me. they would get in trouble. >> this is the whopper for all time. the biden administration is saying that because this displays the hypocrisy of what they are doing against u.s. citizens and holding a different standard at the southern border. it was a whopper. >> sean: and the $3.5-trillion and the coming republicans are going to shut down the government. the government never shuts down. essential workers and the military works and social security checks go out. government workers get weeks off and get back pay. wha

he was arguably the most accomplished athlete to ever occupy the oval office. as you pointed out, three offers to play professional football. an unnatural just about any sport he picked up. he had bad knees because he played football party in operation on one knee, that an operation on the other knee. he had weaker knees that would occasionally bother him. particularly as the weather changed. he had the unfortunate experience of bumping his head on marine one is he is getting out of it. and then hitting somebody with a golf club, a golf ball to swing the club often at that's going to happen. especially people line the fairways. yes, it was unfair. yes, is part of the turf. ford understood as that. he had a conference at the library museum, humor in the presidency and he invited chevy chase to it. and so it got a nice picture of him tripping chevy chase.

john easman pressuring vice president pence in the oval office. january 5th, steve bannon, rudy giuliani and others at the willard hotel. danka vino was with president trump late into the night in the oval office talking about how to pressure lawmakers. the reason they sighted this book is they realize there are people who know a lot about what president trump was doing at the time. and that story still has to be told in a bigger way. yamiche: what did your report what reveal about who president trump is at his core? and the role of him being encouraged by people around him but also the grip that he has on the republican party. bob: well, he is and costa has the endurance to actually listen -- listen to the current trump rallies. they are amazing. there's a lot of nonsense about the stolen election. but then, he gets on and he starts talking like winston churchhill, we're not going to give up. we're going to keep going. it's to the trump supporters. it's passionate. it's very emotional. and it brings them into the process of, you know, you are my

and late today, back in the oval office, already meeting with a key ally. our chief white house correspondent cecilia vega from the white house tonight. >> reporter: facing growing frustration from america's allies, tonight, president biden is trying to mend fences. laughing at the white house with british prime minister boris johnson. earlier at the u.n., the president trying to convince world leaders that after four years of america first, america is now back. >> our security, our prosperity and our very freedoms are interconnected, in my view, as never before. and so i believe we must work together as never before. >> reporter: an olive branch extended after tension with several top allies after america's chaotic withdrawal in afghanistan. >> we've ended 20 years of conflict in afghanistan and as we close this period of relentless war, we're opening a new era of relentless diplomacy. u.s. military power must be our tool of last resort, not our first. >> reporter: the president calling for a new era of unity to fight covid. noting the u.s. has shipped ove

now, earlier in the day, joe biden did meet with the indian prime minister in the oval office. he called his relationship with joe biden transformative, and we should point out, it's pretty significant that no ridge remote is even here at all. given the fact that at one time he was banned from travelling to the united states because of the massacre of many muslims in his country. so he is now not only in the united states, but made it to the oval office, now seated as part of a very important security group, as we've been discussing, called the quad. and the white house is there, a number of things that will be announced as a result of this meeting with respect to china, they are going to talk about how they can boost marine security awareness. there is a growing concerned about illegal officially fishing in the waters around that region, as well as assertiveness in the waters around that region in the, in the pacific region. and as well, they're going to be talking about rolling out a 5 g partnership. but they are also going to discuss one of the other major issues, and it's n

as regards what happened in the oval office yesterday look, these are set pieces, photo ops for the mosten foreign leaders are supposed to take questions, remember when we saw putin and trump when trump said he believed putin over u.s. intelligence. that's when they are supposed to take questions. boris johnson went off script and took a couple of questions. biden wasn't going to do the same and then the press was ushered out as they always are once the set pieces are done. so please, let's remember what it is not was nato leaders laughing at trump behind his back. not trump pushing foreign leaders aside so he can get in front of the picture. >> harris: we are talking about a current president who members of a widespread media, not just fox but wide spread media. when you lose ed o'keefe you have no friends. when you lose people in high places unaccountable. it is not for people to just not take questions. if he has -- have you seen him pivot and walk out? i will go back to cassie now. we've seen the back of the president not taking any questions. no doubt allies are seeing that, too. to

this is in the oval office. the night of january 5th th. so just the day before the insurrection, a day before the certification of the election, and as the conversation between trump and then vice president pence. what are you learning about this conversation? >> we've known this meeting happened, but woodward and costa have new details, quotes from the two of them. trump is trying to pressure pence to overturn the election on january 6th. what woodward and costa reveal is outside the white house, the maga supporters, trump supporters, are outside. they're cheering. they're yelling on bull horns, and the two men can hear that in the oval office. and trump gestures to his supporters out the window, and he says to pence, if these people said you had the power to overturn the election, wouldn't you want to do that? and pence replies no, i don't have the authority to do it. and then there is this exchange in the book. trump, but wouldn't it almost be cool to have that power? pence, no. i've done everything i could and then some to find a way a

bret: on that, i was look at the pool report about the british prime minister boris johnson in the oval officeecognizing two british reporters for questions and then it says president biden signaled it was time for the press to leave without taking any questions from his own press corps. >> and it's very unusual for a foreign leader who is being hosted in the oval office to just essentially start calling on reporters and kind of taking over the meeting but it would be normal if they were having the traditional 2 and 2 press conference which most foreign allies, especially close friends like the u.k. are given. it's where the two leaders stand there, reporters are invited in, there are microphones and they call on two reporters from each side. for whatever reason the white house didn't want to have that seems like boris johnson might have thought to himself let's try to get our two in. >> bret: the prime minister got his two. peter doocy live on the north lawn. peter, thanks. a justice department led panel is looking into whether zoom's china tie could say make its acquisition of a u.s. softwar

pence one-on-one in the oval office said wouldn't it be cool if they said you had the power to decertify the election. wouldn't it be great, mike? it's what you were saying. this whole system came this close to being thrown to the house of representatives where republicans could have maybe pushed it towards trump because they had the control of the number of delegations in the house. this was a human story as much as it was a political crisis. people making decisions in the moment, sometimes based on a variety of motivations. >> it is still a human story, right? it's still a human story. mike pence ultimately, after being insurrection curious, as it were, saying he wanted to give trump there, found out he couldn't. i find that interesting in itself. but he didn't do it and the election held there. what's going on now in lindsey graham, man, is he an interesting character >> you could write a whole book about graham. he is really a shakespearean character. he is ambivalent about trump. at one point as the book reports, in a call to trump he says, mr. president, you f-ed up your presidency

>>> right now president biden is meeting with ukraine's in the oval office.y know that volodymyr zelensky has tried for years to secure a white house visit. you'll remember in july of 2019, zelensky received that congratulatory call from then president donald trump who pushed him to investigate then candidate joe biden and his son, hunter. that call became central to trump's first impeachment trial. cnn's jeff zeleny is at the white house. jeff, what's on the agenda today? >> alisyn, we do know the meeting is under way right now in the oval office. president biden is welcoming the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky here. he has been at the center of so much drama in washington but it's his first visit here to the white house, here to the capitol. it's a meeting he's been speaking for really almost two years since he was elected. one thing that he's trying to do and the u.s. is trying to do is reset that relationship with ukraine. such a pivotal relationship of course with russia just given its proximity and history. trying to reset that relationship. rig

as he said in the oval office, i've never been a progressive. this is about seizing what is a once-in-a-generation opportunity, like those who built the canals and the railroads, like those who built the incredible eisenhower highway act. if we miss this opportunity, every dollar we shrink it is a dollar not invested in our future which is unfortunate. so how this plays out, yeah, this is washington. i'm sure there's going to be some kind of compromise, but to me, the compromise, repairing our electrical grid or to compromise ending degree the only nation on the planet oevgt industrial nations that doesn't have paid family leave has its costs and is going to make america lose the boldness of the possibility of jumping forward as a nation. >> is there a sense here, though, that maybe -- there's an old say our parents used to say, your eyes are bigger than your stomach. were the political eyes bigger than the political reality? meaning you can only do as much as the 50th senator? >> that's 100% true. a lot of times we're losing sight of what we've

he walked through the oval office and out to the south lawn. and i kind of gave him some room. i stayed back and he was very i wanted to wait for a good moment but he walked silently amid the south lawn with the dogs and as he approached me i made a picture and you can see the weight of that decisionon his face . and then the president spoke to me and he says eric, are you interested in history and all i can say was yes sir. he said these photos, the one in the situation room and the south lawn are important and just as he said that, secretary rumsfeld and vice president cheney were walking out of the oval office down the walkway and the president walked over to join them and they started to discuss timing of the start of the war in iraq. so that moment was very intense, especially the president speaking to me because specifically, i'm disengaged from the conversation, from meetings and that's my job is to be the observer, not a participant. but yes, that was very intense moments, especially realizing what was happening at the moment that we wereha going to war . >> down in my

second, the chief of staff to president bush, he had been head of the oval office had worked before they were going to the white house. that morning, my office was blocks away from the white house and had been told by the white house secret service to take off their shoes and run like hell. those feelings, that initial when we realized that this was a true terrorist attack, people were trying to stay safe. there was a sense of panic. people wanted to escape. it was chaos that morning in washington, d.c.. another miracle that day, the fact that our bureaucracy the administration worked so quickly to keep planes on the ground probably saved lives. as the day went on and i began to absorb what really happened and watched as people were trying to save lives, we watched as the brave fireman in new york city and at the pentagon and in the fields of pennsylvania were fighting to help people. there was a sense of community, people coming together. i also remember immediately, i represent the largest population of arab-americans in the country. already that day, there were people who wanted to en

then, on the presidency, president bush's oval office address to the nation. then, former white house chief usher recalls events in the white house walls after the terrorists crashed into the twin towers in pentagon. book tv authors discuss their latest nonfiction books. we will continue a look back on 9/11 with a historian and his book, "the only player in the sky\\\ -- " the only plane in the sky." watch american history and book tv every weekend on c-span two . find a full schedule on your program guide or visit c-span.org. >> i had a meeting at 7:30 in the morning on 9/11. we were meeting because we do this diversity program and dinner every year. i immediately jumped up and i was sitting next to a woman, pam woodward, because her company had a business in the building. we did not know then what the true story was of what happened. i left and went to my job and was listening, watching tv and i was really panicked because my best friend worked in the city -- and am from new york -- and my best friend worked in the city building down there, and my mom had to

this is joe biden's bill and as he said in the oval office, i've never really been a progressive. this is about seizing what is a once in a generation opportunity. if we miss this opportunity every dollar we shrink it is a dollar we're not investing in our future and it is unfortunate. how this plays out, yeah. this is washington. i'm sure there will be some compromise. >> reporter: if there is anything all of the various democrats agree on at this point it is that it is going to be a compromise if this actually gets finished. president biden acknowledging that this is a matter of negotiation and even pelosi this morning conceding that the ultimate number for this democratic spending bill is going to be somewhere south of the $3.5 trillion she and president biden want. in the meantime the calendar tells the story of the urgency here with tomorrow being the deadline for there to be a vote on the infrastructure bill as written into law and we'll see if that happens on schedule tomorrow. then on thursday the government is set to run out of funding if a spending bill isn't passed as t

i believe we have the right president in the oval office and i think he is trying to do the right thing. i just wish that the democrats would be bold and do the things they need to do because they are in control and stop worrying about what else. but my caution is that is the rise of hatred and vehement meanness coming from the right and nobody is trying to stop. i am cautious for what will happen and it will not get worse than it already is. host: joe from covington, georgia. are you pessimistic or optimistic? caller: good morning, thank you for taking my call. i am extremely pessimistic about the economy. just this past week a story came out about three hedge fund managers getting paid a -- getting paid $7 billion settlement with the irs, nobody went to jail, they just totally paid the money and that was it, $7 billion settlement with the irs. this has been going on for years. they are not the only people. we have heard stories already about the billionaires who are not paying any income taxes, all they are doing is printing more money, backed by nothing to raise the prices of everyth

all of them have said variations of there are no atheists in foxholes or the oval office. more recently, some presidents would not think of, like lyndon johnson, he is one of the ones that said that. it is very important to note, and something that hasn't always been given enough attention. a few examples that might help beyond lincoln -- of course lincoln gives us many examples -- but if you think about in other times of crisis, because that's where you see these presidents really believe, what they think and will decide. during world war ii, franklin roosevelt drew on his faith. he drew on his episcopal faith that he had gotten not only from his parents but also headmaster of the boarding school he went to. he drew on this to not only frame the stakes of world war ii, but to walk with and motivate and keep the war effort going. if you haven't read it ever or if it has been a while, his d-day prayer, which he wrote with his daughter, is well worth looking at. it is short, you can look into an audio clip of it, and it makes this point about the intersection of faith and po

many months afterwards. >> host: did you work on president bush's speech of the nation from the oval office? >> he had -- know, the short answer is no. i remember his showing it to me in that circle and he had it all basically written out himself, his main points. i'm sure as he did all things he was pretty clear on what he wanted to say and he had it written down. we hadn't eaten all day and it happened to be the day that the congressional barbecue where all the members of congress come to have a barbecue on the lawn and there's all this barbecue around and we are passing and now i don't know how late it was but the first food all day and we were passing around his and he was pulling it back all greasy and had a barbecue fingers on it and whatnot but it was his words and not i'm sure it was somehow massaged to get it into death to teleprompter and whatnot as is always the case, but it was definitely his thoughts and words. >> host: was dick cheney on september 10th a different dick cheney on september 12? >> that's a good question. i think because of his work as secretary of defense, his w

right, but they are both pragmatic politicians and, being in the oval office — i get to say that, where sitting next to each other and we were all packed in there, they looked pretty easy in each other's company, and the uk side certainly felt that their meeting had gone really well. you know, they thought it went really well, it was very friendly in tone, although i think the prime minister did look a bit bemused whenjoe biden was telling his very long anecdote about trains. longer than a train journey. but even that was interesting because borisjohnson had joked on the way over, oh, welljoe biden�*s a train nut like me, maybe we can bond over trains. and then, lo and behold, in the oval office, the first thing joe biden does is tell a story about amtrak. that sounds completely random, but actually that's a little bit of diplomatic cuteness there, being woven in, and as ever america gave the uk just enough, just enough, here's some bits and pieces, we show we can do business together, this is all looking pretty good, but it was also very plain that long—promised trade deal that donald

you have his enablers, the coup plotters, who were with him in the oval office, who were handmaidens plot. you have the cynicism of the financiers, some of the richest people on the planet, some of the richest people in the united states have been the chief financiers of this american fascist movement. some of them, like steve schwartzman, have buildings named after them and are defended by some of the most elite universities in the country. you'll always have the cynicism of the elites, the elected officials in the country, all of them, the eelise stefanik or kevin mccarthy of the world, ted cruz, josh hawley, you have the mob. you have the extremists. we saw the intimations of violence turn to violence with these paramilitary groups and thugs and all of them together. and so, in the end, we're going to find out what happened with every one of these groups over every second over these days leading up to what ended the peaceful transition of power in this country by a political party that has made it perfectly clear with its radicalization since that day that it has no intentions of

was important to put aside political differences and act responsibly no matter who sits in the oval office. we know that failing to raise the debt ceiling would be as the republican leader has said in the past when trump was president when he was arguing or democrats to join him would be a disaster . more than anything that's an understatement. just yesterday one top forecasters said quote, failure to raise the debt limit would have serious negative consequences . so in the immediate future we need to raise the debt ceiling again. as in previous instances it must be a bipartisan endeavor. the reason is simple. we have to get this done but much of the recent debt we need to pay for was incurred during the trump administration . in fact, president trump nearly added $8 trillion to the national debt. 5 and a half trillion of which was since the last time the debt limit was suspended until trump's final day in office. so in other words 5 and a half trillion dollars of this debt is totally under republican management in a sense because trump was the president, leader mcconnell was the majority
