the presidency, the presidency would continue to evolve and the biggest evolution of the presidency asates to this question of humor, and how presidents portray themselves. that is the development of the modern mass media. in fact, roosevelt and his editorial cartoons, the reason they were so popular and effective was that roosevelt was the first person in the age of the modern mass newspaper. technological developments in the printing industry made it possible for newspapers to be printed and sold for a penny. newspapers in the 19th century were expensive magazines, today. ordinary people did not read newspapers because you had to have a certain threshold of income. by the beginning of the 20th century everybody could read newspapers. there's also contributes to the rise of the president as the center of american politics. reporters can, with great difficulty, tell stories about a large group like congress. it is very tempting for reporters to tell their stories about a single individual. if you have a charismatic and arresting individual like roosevelt and it is easier to tell storie

and the idea that the presidency when, he became president, the presidency was a serious undertaking. and the idea that your president should have a sense of humor, that laughs and can laugh, especially in any kind of public setting, this, this just clashed with the idea that politics is a serious business, governing this country is a serious business. and so, it really hard-pressed to find a sense of humor, to find anybody in the white house telling jokes, really before about andrew jackson, who's elected in 1820. eight even with andrew jackson, it's a little bit hard to find anything that looks like modern humor. and i took up this subject understanding that conveying jokes or humor from the past to the president is a difficult undertaking because tastes change and perhaps you've heard the saying of felonious mike, that writing about music is like dancing about architecture. [laughter] well, it's a little bit like that. to translate, you'll see, to translate humor from the past to the present, something is lost in the translation, but i'm going to try anyway, and i think this is --

president bush, mrs.bush, thanks for this honor. 200 acres [inaudible] mountain bike as the president said. work with the national park service. it is a rustic retreat. simple, single story cabins. look like starting, cedar shake shingle roofs. just enough amenities, enough security, of course. very pleasant, simple place to go and where many presidents have found that respect they're looking for. >> and so look talk a little bit about your role and the staff of -- >> navy command, it was run by the navy, [inaudible] took the sailors from the yacht, and that stewart talked about and talking with and [inaudible] from their backs to guard. it is so that's a navy command that operates and maintains the principal facility for the president. but on the weekends, it takes on that whole aura of being a place where the family president and his family gets can go weather for their own personal use or for a diplomatic purpose. >> and so, president use this partly as a recreational retreat to get away. they also use

presidency. he wanted to see what he could do individually as president as opposed to working necessarily through all of the levers of government and now we have joe biden his president and what we've seen is biden is very ambitious legislatively and trying to do a kind of fdr or lbj type agenda at a time. when he has much narrower congressional majorities than either of those two and in fact, he is a 50/50 tie in the senate. so those four people who've held the presidency have really changed things that individually each of those changes is significant and worth noting but in toto, i think we are now in a situation. where the presidency that joe biden now inhabits is vastly different? then the presidency that bill clinton passed on to george w bush at the end of the 20th century and that is exactly what we want to examine here. what does it mean for our nation? what are the parameters of how the presidency has changed and how if we want can we fix it? should we change things are we on a inevitab

boats, water, president bush running, biking, and president clinton, president bush, president obama, all the other, you know, activities. so, the secret service had to train agents on horseback, and u.s. park police played a tremendous role. because, it's about, how do we extract or evacuate the president and the first lady while they are on horseback? how about getting to them in water safety, and brought patrol? president bush, george h. bush 40, one i remember being up at one point. that press would be all around, there and they would say, how many fish did you catch? and he would say, fish? with all these boats, between media bots and secret service? that's good all the fish away. >> and for those of you who may have read but books about president bush 40, one that boat was not a slow patrol. he would write that both at fourth throttle. >> full throttle. >> talk about the training. it is serious. they have to learn to mountain bike. president bush mountain bikes on his ranch in crawford, and he is a serious mountain bike or. you have to be able to keep up with him. >> before the

, as a senator, is a vice president and now as president. there is an array of issues that we talk to congress about on a regular basis and we are going to continue this conversation. reporter: is there concern in the white house that moving ahead with executive actions right now could sink the talks in congress? is that one reason you might be holding back on executive action? karine: no. it is time for congress to act. the president cannot do this alone. we are asking congress to act so we can have federal laws to deal with reforming, doing comprehensive gun reform. reporter: president bolsonaro of brazil [indiscernible] , and mexico is getting mixed signals. can you tell us whether formal invitations have gone out to those leaders, and other leaders of nicaragua and venezuela going to be included? karine: we are considering additional invites and will share it when it is final. i don't have anything right now to share. reporter: the cbo came out with a report this week that showed inflation going down but still above target through the en

president. understand that there are four bills -- let's see here. i understand that there are four bills at the desk due for a second reading en bloc. the presiding officer: the clerk will read the titles of the bills for the time. the clerk: h.r. 3540, an an act within the department of homeland security, the department of justice and the federal bureau of investigation to analyze and monitor domestic terrorist activity and require the federal government to take steps to prevent domestic terrorism. s. 4261 is a bill to suspend duties and other restrictions on the importation of infant formula to address the shortage of infant formula in the united states and for other purposes. h.r. 7688, an act to prevent consumers from price gouging of consumer fuels and for other purposes. h.r. 7790, an act making emergency supplemental appropriations to address the shortage of infant formula in the united states for the fiscal year ending september 30, 2022, and for other purposes. ms. stabenow: in order t

, but he failed president. and mondale goes on to say that that is all wrong. [inaudible] it's the latest to take is kai bird that they just to take a fresh look at the carter. presidency kai is a pulitzer prize-winning historian and journalist. he's the author of a number of books including the color of truth, the george bundy and william brothers who is in arms. the chairman, john jay buckley and the making of the american establishment, crossing mondale bomb gate, coming of age between the arabs and israelis, 1956 to 1978, the good spy, the life and death of roger robert aims. inspection in a [inaudible] 1983 truck bombing of the american embassy in beirut. and the american previous, a triumph and tragedy of jay robert oppenheimer, with co-author martin j sherman, which 1 to 2006 pulitzer prize for biography our autobiography. his latest book, which we are going to talk about tonight, the outlier -- the unfinished presidency of jimmy carter, is a rich and human story of jimmy carter marked by both formidable

president and the new south korean president. north korea has a way of making sure that it is top of the agenda. they have had a remarkable year, 15 missile launches so far. kim. >> thanks so much, paula. apologize the audio was a bit off there. so kevin, let's go to you now. it has taken president biden a while as we said to make his first asian trip of his presidency. so take us through what you are expecting to see and hear. >> reporter: yeah, i think president biden would have liked to travel to asia a little sooner in his presidency just like his most predecessors did. but he was hampered by the restrictions around the coronavirus pandemic. and he was hampered by the crisis in ukraine which is consuming so much of his time and attention. but now the president really wants to come here to reaffirm the importance of these key personal lie answers in japan and south korea and sort of demonstrate that he is still focused on this region. what u.s. officials say is that of course they can focus on two things at the same time and i

he has worked on this since -- he was a senator and vice president and now president. he has taken action as a president to make sure he can do everything he can address gun filings and now he is calling on -- gun violence and now he is calling on congress to deal with the banning of assault weapons and also background -- expanding background get test checks. -- background checks. i laid out the pulley and with the polling shows. -- polling and what the polling shows. reporter: following up on the question about the president's involvement. you said you would engage with you found -- which he finds it helpful. do you think it would be unhelpful for him to engage in those negotiations? pres. sec. jean-pierre: there are conversations happening right now. there is a bipartisan conversation happening right now. we will let that process go. at the same time, we will call for action. he directed his team to look at additional ways for executive actions. that doesn't stop for us. he cannot do it alone and that is what we keep trying to say. congress needs to take their steps

and he wants to be president again. his government was credited with developing tamale's constitution and building the national army. after the central government collapsed in 1991. it was criticized for corruption. i want to build a government, it gives me rights to all the somali people and provide security and justice to some more known for trying to include all political functions than for specific policies. shake serif is widely seen as one of the strongest contenders is one of 39 candidates who have registered their post in line. this 3 in mogadishu, one of them will go on to lead a government that doesn't control much of somalia beyond here, the capital sways of the countryside, controlled by the on group out. bob simone is don't even get to vote in this election. it's members of parliament who will elect the president, and the members of parliament were selected by clan representatives. everyone familiar with the process? say it's been mod 5 vote buying and corruption. another form, a president. shake mood, runn

are there many similarities between the real president zelensky and the tv president?etch shows, broadcast in prime—time, lampooned ukraine's political class — like his predecessor, president poroshenko, who owed his fortune to a sweet shop chain. with zelensky having jumped in the political deep end, the election campaign was unlike anything ukraine had seen before. zelensky held no rallies and his message was entirely communicated through slick videos of him working out and hanging out. it all felt like an extension of his tv shows. it was quite surprising that the man who is on the stage feels like at home, he hardly campaigned, he gave no interviews, it was super hard to see him on some public rallies. he only shoot videos, posted it online, and the rest? it was the work of his team. the less he did, the more popular he became, and when the time came to vote, zelensky was odds on favourite. are you ready to be president? i don't know! the people will decide it in the evening. i'm ready. that night, ukraine's political earthquake was confirmed. zelensky had won with

this is the space where presidents, including president lincoln, president kennedy, had lain in states a space that is watched over by statues in washington, jefferson, lincoln and grant, eisenhower, ford and reagan. that night, almost every wall and circling that room were swat teams. more men and women in riot gear, helmets, carrying long arms, some resting from battle, other standing watch. atf, fbi, federal agents deployed inside the united states capitol building. is there in the rotunda these brave men and women were resting beneath eight paintings that depict the earliest scenes of our republic. these include four by george trumbull. scenes from the american revolution. one of these was painted in 1824 and it depicts george washington resigning his commission. at this moment in 1783, depicted in the painting, washington voluntarily relinquished power. he handed control of the continental army back to congress. george trumbull, the painter, called this one of the highest moral lessons ever given to the world. with this noble act, george washington set the indispensable example o

both the vice president and president did during the trump administration. it his shot in the middle of the night under the cloak of darkness celebrating the fact he was able to do it. >> harris: he did what no one else didid. it makes your guy look worse. "new york times" columnist thomas friedman getting some heat for his article his off the record lunch with joe biden saying quote i can't tell you anything he said. i can, though, tell you two things. what i ate and how i felt later. he then launched into an attack on republicans divisiveness and what he claims is biden's top priority uniting the country. twitter was quick to call him out. one user tweeted possibly the worst column ever written. another simply said beyond parody. you have one of the legacy media in there and he is sitting with a president who hasn't done an interview sit-down for 104 days and you come out with this. your take. >> thomas friedman can defend himself. the main takeaway i got from the piece in the "new york times" is the focus on our allies and the fact the president has score

well, president is one person who unites everyone we all vote for president the president represents everyone so presidential funerals traditionally when the nation is divided is something that unites us and throughout history there have been periods of reconciliation some briefly some some more permanent that have come out of it that have where the presidential funeral has been the catalyst. one of the brief examples can go back to washington's funeral again when the country was becoming greatly divided over over the formation of political parties. and george washington's funeral briefly brought together the federalists and democratic republicans to mourn together, but ultimately political forces were at play that were bigger than george washington's death. a couple of successful examples of how presidential funerals and presidential deaths have really been catalyst for one being after james garfield had died when he was assassinated and one of the reasons one of the of the dividing issues of the time was over civil service reform. and and the spoils party out of that out of that as

president? i was never under any illusions about trump's persona and you know how difficult it was to. deal with him. i had never met him before although i had worked in new york for 15 years as general counsel of gte and then verizon corporation and most of my business friends who knew him some very well and had worked for them told me he was very difficult person and advised me not to go into his ministry. so i was under no illusion about that. i wasn't going in to be his best buddy or to build a you know, a friendship with him. i was in there to serve his administration as attorney general and try to help his administration succeed. and and a personal level we hit it off very well, you know we both grew up in new york around the roughly the same time. he's a little bit older than i am and i thought we had an easy rapport and i talked very bluntly and directly and vice verse can assure you. i also felt that he that his policies were generally sound and many of his policy instincts were were go

that president moon.s and expressed a much different approach towards north korea than what you have seen from president trump who thought he could get kim jong un to come to the negotiating table, and thought he could get him to denuclearization the pieninsula. something there's been a lot of emphasis on is the south korea/u.s. relationship that took its toll during the trump era, and that is something p president biden has said he's working to restore. the new south korea leader has been in office a matter of days, one of the first major events welcoming the president of the united states to asia on his first trip, hosting the state dinner tonight. the big questions going forward, what does it look like when they talk about their economic perspective, economic security is something they have focused on during this summit. those are all priorities for them. of course this will be the state dinner, a casual part of it. you're seeing it president biden joined by his top aides. one other thing we should not

president, the podium is yours. president niinisto: mr. president, it is with great pleasure and honor to be standing here today with you, together with the swedish prime minister magdalena andersson. we are here for a very good reason. together we are taking a historic step by seeking to join the north atlantic treaty organization. finland has made its decision after a rapid but very thorough process. the process has once again revealed the strength of finland's democracy starting from the strong public support. the decision was made with an overwhelming parliamentary majority and it shows huge, strong popular support. i want to thank you, mr. president, for your steadfast support throughout this process. in early march, i visited the white house and you encouraged us to go further. that was of vital importance to our process. your statement yesterday and our meeting today are a testimony of enduring commitment the united states has made to european and thrans atlantic security. i want to ensure that finland will become a strong nato ally

and this president has done that. he's done that at every -- at every unfortunate -- every unfortunate violent event that we have seen. as we know, charlottesville, as i just mentioned, was the reason that he decided to jump into this election back in 2020. reporter: can you explain to people who are watching -- karine: for folks who are watching, the president is getting ready to have -- [indiscernible] no, no. it's ok. you know, that would be a great -- that would be a great first day. one for the books. if the press gets up and walks away. sorta. yeah. the president is much more important than i am, for sure. reporter: [indiscernible] will be rewarded, for sure. karine: you guys all deserve rewards, how about that. go ahead, nancy. i'm so sorry, m.j. go ahead. reporter: my colleague asked the administration on baby formula shortage if we had been better mind readers i guess we could have. this doesn't seem like the situation that would have required mind reading. as you know the recall dates back to february. i bel

we all know he was president and was vice president before that. a lot of people didn't know about his track record in service or his son who was president which was pretty darn unique but i would deck out the first time i was campaigning with him, i was volunteer chairman of the campaign in 1978-79 and the 1980 process. there was an event, he was speaking at an event in springfield, connecticut, hartfield, connecticut and i got a call from james beckett iii who was part of the campaign and said ambassador bush is speaking at an event in hartford, connecticut, 45 minutes away from springfield, massachusetts. put together a key or something for ambassador bush, i didn't know a lot of people in springfield massachusetts but i call a friend who did know people there and they gave me someone at 2:00 in the afternoon and i drove out to see where this house was and meet the people and all that kind of stuff and the next day was the day of the event and i picked up ambassador bush, we arrived at this home in springfield, locked in, 25 people ready to have

and it was all trump, trump, i said there is no path for anyone but president trump.h the trump campaign, from the spring of 2016 on. and i was summoned to donald trump famous 26 floor office, mr. trump said, i'm told that i'm a better candidate than she is, i said i think that is true, he said do you think we could still do this. i said beat hillary, yes. the windows are closing and polls, i know polls, and i know leaders, you can beat her, but we have to do a couple things differently. and i went through the list with him, he said yes to every one. i had not experienced this in my career, he said can you be my campaign manager, i said i need to look at data. >> he said can you do, that i said yes, not know figure i could. -- not knowing if i could, only person they told that day that donald trump offer ed me campaign, was my husband george, he said, he could win with you. >> bringing kellyanne in was first good decision he made, she knew how to talk to donald trump, there was a lot of moments between august and november, he needed to be told the truth, and didn't wa

the former president and vice president. he came, and he went around and greeted all of the staff and shook hands. i like to think out that there was one man standing there talking to him, and he ended up being the mayor of san diego, senator, governor of the state of california. pete wilson. and he was with us that day. >> that was sort of just a grip and grin of nixon at that point. it was also bob haldimand, edgy walter thompson. he introduce you to the circle. and it tells a lot about richard nixon's personality. >> i always had to have a summer job. my parents insisted on it. i did not have a job in the summer of 1962. that arrange for me to go down for an interview at the nixon for governor headquarters. i went in there and the young lawyer from usc by the name of herbert come back, he interviewed me and he inner -- he left the room, he came back, and he went down the hall to meet somebody and it was bob haldimand. he became the single most important man in my life as a relates to all of these points in history. i writ

arthel: your reaction to former president trump's sentiment. >> well, i think that president trump may have misjudged the mood, former president trump, i think misjudged. the very fact that he chose to the the a appear at the nra assembly at this point so soon after a shooting really indicates that he doesn't really have his pulse, his hand on the pulse of the nation. people are outraged. if it was one of their children, the senators or the congressmen, would they not take a deferent position? if it -- different position? does it actually have to hit home before people say, it doesn't matter? americans, republicans, democrats overwhelmingly support sensible gun legislation, control legislation. way time. but i don't think that president trump is, as usual, being honest with the american people. but he's going against what the american people want. the second amendment is not under assault. americans are under assault. arthel: i hear you with. and, clearly, this is a white house -- white-hot political debate, no doubt. again, is this the point when americans united? because bullet foren

the president ultimately makes the decision on how to provide clemency and thus the president has the opportunity and obligation to prevent the rubric and the standards the president is going to look at for clemency. the data preliminarily would be the largest single year increase since the agency began publishing the uniform data in 1960. last year in america there were more than 105,000 drug overdoses that follows the record in 2020 with more than 91,000 overdose deaths. now may not be the time displayed with the administration and colleagues believe. president obama committed the sentence of 1715 drug offenders and some of those granted clemency went on to reoffend not long after they were released. at the time and overdose deaths and crime is surging the subcommittee should probably not look to ways to lead more drug dealers and traffickers out of prison early and more importantly in some respects the philosophy of this that is that it's the president's prerogative and the president to either designs, accepts the current rubric or implements a new rubric in determining early relea

the presiding officer: is there objection? murmur mr. president -- murmur mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from washington. mrs. murray: reserving the right to object. i share my colleagues' deep concern about the infant formula shortage but i counterconcern with the senator's proposal to address it. so i will be offering the senate an alternative here in just a moment that addresses those concerns while building on common ground and the need to end this shortage. so i object to the senator's proposal and seek recognition to offer my proposal. the presiding officer: objection is heard. mrs. murray: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from washington. mrs. murray: as a mom and grandmother, i share my colleague's concern about this infant formula shortage. and i've been pressing the f.d.a. and infant from la -- infant formula manufacturers for answers and actions on this going back to when the abbott recall was first announced back in february. i'm glad the biden administration is taking some action to address this crisis. f.d.a.'s announcemen

it's actually a little bit after that meeting of yours and they go in to president trump and president trump confuses the baltics and the balkans and they realize that when he starts talking about the beginning of world war one, but so you're in this meeting and the other thing he says that is this real echo of the scandal that would later erupt, right? because he he talks about his view of the entire country of ukraine in front of ukraine to president, right? he says something like it's a corrupt country. yeah most. i think he's actually said the most corrupt country in the world the most corrupt country, i believe so and he and petra poroshenko. i mean he kind of pushed back and the source of you know for for the president's. allegation was he had heard that from a friend of his. at mar-a-lago the source of all information. that's right. and you know a pet proportionco did a pretty good job of pushing back and one of the things that i find to be, you know, kind of unfair is that the reason we talk about ukraine and corruption is that in 2014 when the ukrainians were angry that their

presidency. i've heard many western commentators accusing marcus junior of being extremely populous than you know, making promises that he may not be able to fulfill. specifically, when it comes to the class of decreasing living standards are decreasing living expenses rather, and a increasing living sanders, given that food and fuel prices are rising all around the world. cham, he's. 1 government and deliver on the promises that they made. right? that is the challenge in the philippines in filtering politics. we have a saying, it's easy to run and when the more difficult part is governing. so marcus junior is transitioning from marcus jr, the candidate to marcus junior, ah, the ruler or the governor. so this means that he set up it for himself high expectations by making all those glimmering promises of lower rice prizes of jobs infrastructure. and the philippine economy is in heavy decline we, we had the steepest decline in southeast asia. and guess what the, the, i'll going to charge administr

he got that late sort of push from president trump -- former president trump on monday.ys that he's feeling very good. erica, he's got to get at least 30% of the vote to avoid a runoff, though, with the second highest vote getter in north carolina. >> all right, we will be watching, dianne gallagher, appreciate it. thank you. joining me now to discuss, cnn political commentator charlie dent, former republican congressman, of course. good to see you this afternoon. so much focus, i don't need to tell you, on your state and as jeff just ran through for us, this last-minute surge we're seeing for kathy barnette, this last-minute push from former president trump, the robo calls over the weekend, we just saw dr. oz holding up to phone at an event really trying to grab some extra momentum leading into today. you had said a barnette win would be a nightmare. what do you think it says about the state of the party in pennsylvania right now that we are where we are on election day? >> well, erica, i said it would be a double nightmare because if we had kathy and doug to be nominat

the president denied it all. that in the same month announced the outlet was under investigation for money laundering. the next year, one of its editors was denied a work visa and expel from the country. and that this january citizen, lab of the university of toronto, said that equipment belonging to 22 members of the federal team have been infected by pegasus spyware. pegasus software developed by his ready cyber alms company and sold only to governments who the governor was the 1st to discover. she'd been bucked while i was driving. and i remember that i got the 1st image in, but that moment we, we were confirmed that they got to was targeting most of the fire journalist. so these are the things the been spied on then. yeah, probably someone is listening to us right now. we don't know it, i mean that's very something very personal, isn't it? like all of your stuff is in, hey, you know, like, my life. i mean, everywhere, everywhere i, i the places that i, i go through or v c. it's because it has the that access

i think it's very important because, you know, in our society, president biden the president of the biggestzation for ukrainians for our understanding. that's it. that's our partner, strategic partners. and i think that it would be great signal, very important signal. johnson came. i just thinking that it's also very good for him, that is good for him because the united states support us, i mean the president of the country which support us. i think is good for him to be here, if it's possible. i don't know. >> griff: speaker pelosi came. >> yes, so it's possible. >> griff: tell me how this ends? >> only with victory. we have no way out. >> griff: mr. president, thank you for your time. >> thank you, sir. griff. >> bret: thank you. you can catch more of griff's exclusive afternoon right here on fox news channel. who leaked the u.s. supreme court draft opinion on roe v. wade. it is a washington who done it now. first, beyond our borders tonight. israel honors its soldiers and civilians killed in war in military tant attacks with sirens wailing nationwide for memorial day. poetry readings cem

president. a senator: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from indiana. mr. young: every year in schools around our country, students are taught about the declaration of independence. this remarkable document outlines the ideals on which the united states was founded and the principles on which our government and our very identity as americans are based. perhaps best known and most quoted from the declaration is that line about all being endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. from our earliest days when such a concept truly was revolutionary to the present day as americans we believe in the dignity and value of every human person. this is an ideal that we should always aspire to and in the spirit of that conviction, i believe that our nation has a moral responsibility to protect unborn children, to protect l life. through amazing advances in science, families and medical professionals now know that at 15 weeks, a baby can feel pain, a baby can move fully formed fingers and toe

one more time. 44,000 for president obama, 20,000 for president trump, 176,000 for president biden.y nine times as many migrants as we were seeing just four years ago. again congress hasn't passed any major laws that have caused this dramatic increase. president biden has the same authorities as the previous administrations. he's been in office for more than a year and has had plenty of opportunity to use the authorities congress has given him to address this humanitarian and national security and public safety crisis. he's even had plenty of time to work with congress to pass bipartisan bills, like my bipartisan border solutions act which i introduced with senator sinema and we now have a number of bipartisan cosponsors and it was filed in the house with bipartisan support as well. henry cuellar and tony gonzalez from the largest contiguous border district in texas and in the country, a republican. so we introduced this bill. we laid it out for the administration thinking that maybe, just maybe if their poll numbers got bad enough, they would be looking for a lifeline. they'd be lo

president and the south korean president. it's worth reminding everybody that president yuen is relatively new to the job, inaugurated a week ago. he's also very new to politics. he is a political novice. he was a former prosecutor here in south korea. he has very little foreign policy experience. so it is going to be a steep learning curve for him to meet the u.s. president so quickly. in fact, just about 11 days after his inauguration. so north korea will be top of the agenda when it comes to the security issues. during the campaign, in fact, for the presidency, the president said he wanted more than a security relationship with the united states. he wanted more of a comprehensive and strategic relationship. he wanted more of an economic partnership, and that is going to be exactly what washington wanted to hear, what the u.s. president biden that you can see there at the national cemetery -- it's exactly what he wants as well. they mentioned covid, of course. north korea just a week ago admitted that it does have a covid o

president. i want to be a servant. if you think there is any department that could use my help? pres. biden: the press room. james: you want me to tell the truth to america? i hear that. i would be right back. where would i find that? pres. biden: left, right, left, then right. don't come back. james: message received. i'm looking for jen psaki. how are you? >> i'm good. james: are you well? >> i'm good. james: we figured people in the white house worked long hours and maybe i would take over the press briefing today. does that sound like a good idea? >> that sounds good. are you ready? james: my hunch is this is a walk in the park. >> war with russia, bad. james: keep it light. >> cdc good. james: really? >> economy, strong. james: is it? >> diplomacy good. james: what if i get asked about it -- >> we love her. that is a safe place. james: has he watched it on hulu? >> he has probably not seen it. james: that's a problem. >> is that what you're going to wear? james: yeah. >> it is more brunch than press briefing to me

well, we're, we did not just elect a president in a vice president coming from 2 of the most powerful political families in the philippines. but they were elected, overwhelmingly wait with the majority mandate of the latest count is that both of them almost got around 58 percent of the vote. and in our system we don't have a run of elections that assures a majority mandate. we only have a plurality system. so this is the 1st time that a president and a vice president has been elected by a majority since democracy was restored in 1986. and for that majority mandate to be earned by 2 children of a former president may said, really an astounding electoral outcome. it seems like the majority has spoken, but we know that as you have said, this electoral campaign has been very polarizing. and talked at the very least, you mentioned that it's quite astounding. it's as founding, not only because of the solid numbers that they got, and it's, it's pretty remarkable in this day and age for an approval ratings around the world . a pretty low people have very, very little in, in politics world wid

president. and i said look, the departmentt of justice, if there's any daylight between the attorney general of the deputy, you're going to have turmoil in the department and the people, he just crippled the political level of leadership that way. and he is looking at me and i said let me put it this way, mr. president. the attorney generals balls are in the deputies park pocket and i'm not putting mine in anyone's pocket. this look of recognition came over his face. oh, okay. do you have someone in my? i said yes. okay fine. talked to some of the people. if that someone free to talk to find but if you still want to go with your guy that's fine, too. and that was that. [applause] he also said to you tt politics at doj is no politics in doj and in reading your book that seems to be actually your ethos. you may be reflect a little bit on maybe that there's being a shared value between me you and president bush, right, you know, the attorney general performs a number of different functions, you kno

the president amped it up.k that he did that in asia with all of the world context, knowing that aides in the room were uncomfortable, shifting in their seats and then quickly moving to respond. now, i'm also struck by something when the president was in poland and talked about putin cannot remain in power. then a few days later in washington i asked him if he agreed with his administration walking that back and he said no. there may be a piece of joe biden on the world stage we are now seeing where he is inserting his own level of unpredictability on matters to try to sort of move the issues, not abandoning u.s. policy but perhaps shaping it in a way that he sees as more appropriate in this moment. >> we all remember that in warsaw. china pushed back today, not surprisingly, saying no one should underestimate its ability to defend its national sovereignty and territorial integrity. it's a policy that goes back to 1979 and jimmy carter, the one china policy. any concern about increasing tensions with china? >>

but this is a president who is frustrated, this is a president who is angry, to use the words of the first lady, who was also by his side there tonight, a teacher herself, who tweeted this afternoon that she is stunned, heartbroken, and angry. lord, enough. the president saying that he is sick and tired, that we have to act. he is calling, renewing these calls that we have heard from im, particularly for a ban on assault weapons. david, we have talked about this after these shootings time and time and time again. gun control remains stalled, even ten years after that horrific tragedy at sandy hook. to this day, it remains stalled on capitol hill. congress is not acting on that front. the democrats do not have the votes even needed to move forward on any kind of assault weapons ban, so, we said, again, i will say this, david, we have seen this president in a week's time, just unthinkable, in a week's time, addressing this nation in the wake of a mass shooting and here we are, asking this administration and lawmakers in this city, when is enough going to be enough? and they still don't

, but you are right, you never see a former president or vice president quite at odds like this, the race here in atlanta across georgia is a big proxy fight. >> brennan: all right. you know, we have to talk about democrats here too, and excuse me, you heard our cbs poll, democrats view the party as weak, large number of them, there is also such sharp criticism of the president reacting too slowly. what is the signal here for democrats? >> well the biggest one and you talked about it with anthony and congressman jeffries there, the fact that young voters, black voters, latino voters now also are in agreement that the president isn't necessarily doing enough to take on the economic challenges and inflation, that's secret sauce, if you can't convince young people, black people, latino voters in this state like georgia and others across the country, you are going to see democrats lose big statewide elections. stacey abrams, raphael warnock here in georgia need those numbers to improve in order to get the biden coalition to turn out again, same story goes in places like pennsylvania, ari
