the president is, as you know, pro union. the president is pro workers and pro u.a.w. workers and what we'll continue to make clear. reporter: acting on the u.a.w. strike, to what extent do you have any kind of leverage to sort of lean in with the companies, is the president picking up the phone and speaking to company executives and, you know, is there a limit to how much he can do on that? karine: you heard from the president last friday where he said record corporate profits should lead to record u.a.w. contracts. he was very clear about that and you heard that from me and others here in the administration and he's going to obviously continue to get daily briefings from his team on what is going on and where the negotiations are. and the president has spoken to all parties in the past couple weeks and so he has stayed in touch and had those conversations but again, the parties are negotiating at the table. that is a positive thing. that is important and they're working to get a win-win agreement. i'll just add this, the president fought and won the type of major inv

presidency was. therefore, on everybody's mind, including for that was the summer he had to decide whether he run for a second elected term. everyone thought he were would coolidge was coolidge was so popular if you can imagine this dr. borglum even suggested in print that somehow coolidge go up on rushmore. well, this is a fact we find astounding. coolidge ranks 24 in the c-span poll and lower in some other polls, but it gives you a sense for how loved coolidge and his policies were. and of course, his party was aching for him to run. they imagine coolidge will have long coattails. well, coolidge did ride up to rushmore on. a horse named mistletoe. and he did bless the rushmore parade jack probably ambivalently because it involved spending federal money but around that time he also did something else. one day in early august, and he was marking this anniversary he handed out to reporter reporters a piece paper that said, i do not choose to run for president in 1928. well the reporters could not beli

that is going to underscore the president as the most prounion president in history. it will be standing at her to join the picket line in solidarity -- going to join the picket line in solidarity of uaw. as they continue to fight for a fair, fair share of the value of the -- what they helped create. what the record of this corporations, the record profits they have been able to make. they believe and we believe they should have their own fair share of that. >> just to clarify, president biden will be making the trip, that means he supports the 40% pay increase? >> i will not go into the details of what is being negotiated on the table with the parties. what we are saying is we support the autoworkers. that is what you will see with the president tomorrow. a historic event. historic trip. this continues to show how deep the president -- how he is indeed the most prounion president in history. >> the white house has made it clear it is on republicans to avoid the shutdown. a larger percent of americans blame it on democrats, not republicans. should the president be spe

president. the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. schumer: earlier this morning, it was my distinct honor, along with leader mcconnell, to welcome ukrainian president zelenskyy to the united states. is it's always a privilege to welcome a foreign head of state to the capitol, but rarely in history have we heard directly from a leader who is fighting for his country's survival and fighting to preserve the idea of democracy. i told the members that right now, this courageous man is at the fulcrum of democracy and freedom, and my message to president zelenskyy and to my colleagues was simple -- america must always stand with our friends around the world, and that includes the people of ukraine. president zelenskyy could not have arrived at a more crucial moment for his country and for congress. right now, ukraine is engaged in a major counteroffensive against putin's forces, to reclaim their answer territory and turn the tide of their bloody and brutal conflict. but it is also a moment for

but we see that for both the president, the current president and, vice president. but that doesn't mean that they also did not get into the superhero world. so you had trump's titans, which dects president trump as a gun wielding american patriot superhero anof course you have biden's titans, which shows him wearing, of course, his signature sunglass choices and a more slicked out x-men look. so this is you get to see all of these current and different depictions of the president using the white house, using the presidency. and we can just continue to expect to see more as we move forward, because this is an art form i think, that's going to continue to last for a while. wonderful amazing. i get an opportunity now to field questions from you. there will be microphones to so before you start asking your question, please wait for the microphone to come. you let me get things started as microphones come to the back of the room with a question for you, sarah and megan and jesse, feel free to jump in. but when that great image of the clintons moving into the white house

and, look, i said it, the president has said it. on the vice president. this is an epidemic.emic in our country. and so, we need to do everything that we can. and we believe having this office is going to continue showing the president's commitment. but it's going to be incredibly important, pushing what the president has put forward. and that's what you're going to see. and i think having it separate and apart from dpc shows our commitment, yes, but also shows that we are taking this an extra step on how seriously we're taking it and how important it's going to be. so, this is the president saying he wants to save more lives. this is what we're going to try and do. we're going to continue to see what we can do to save more lives. >> then a separate question in regards to president zelenskyy's visit to washington yesterday. he was up on capitol hill; he met with members of both parties. from what you've heard, was he able to change any minds, particularly those house republicans that are opposed to providing any additional aid to ukraine? ms. jean-pierre: so, i'll leave that

president?to look at them and i certainly might if i think it's appropriate. no, it's a very, very sad thing, and they're dividing the country so badly and it's very dangerous. >> mr. president, we will delve into that a little bit later on, but i want to stay on this idea on what you mean by retribution. are you looking to appoint an attorney general who will prosecute the people you tell them to prosecute? >> i'm looking to appoint an attorney general who will be tough on crime and fair. very simple. >> speaker mccarthy announced that he was launching an impeachment inquiry this week into president biden. do you see this as a part of the retribution that you see? >> no, not at all. i think, look, you look at the terrible things that have been happening with respect to biden. look at everything. comer and jim, fantastic people and very legitimate people. i watched jamie comer just a little while ago talking about a lot of different facets of what's going on, and he was the one that said i guess

you are going to the president with this, why do we have all the processes locked on the president and so and so and so , do you understand why we say let the president sit only without someone there and we mean we will talk to the president, should these processes be regulated by the president, why are there no verticals this was my key such warning when we started there 17 gathered 17,000 people who spoke out against the policy pursued by hetmantsev, showed the president why it is harmful to the economy of the state, after that a lot of investigating something there, but what can the president do in relation to hetmantsev, what political decision to make and it would be it we stretch it is just constantly he he is a people 's deputy it is the parliament that has to make decisions but there are several moments first - war second political team and political decisions that can be adopted by the political team the leader of which is the president, and the president himself should have his own position. my request to the president is very simple . look, you listed three points, and these

presidents. while a number of presidents have moved up or down a quartile or so only grant among, all u.s. presence has moved from being consistently the worst category to being regularly put into above average category. do you think recent documentaries had an effect on this rating? yeah, and also a recent biographies of of him and. this is again a shift of opinion. people realize that yeah, he had scandals but here's a guy who was actually standing up for civil rights, you know 100 years before it became really. something that most people were on board with. okay, so there's grant. grant leaves office. the republicans that they are tainted by scandal. they need to elect somebody or nominate somebody who is reproach and they find that guy with this guy rutherford birchard hayes hayes was born in southern ohio. he went to kenyon college. he graduated from harvard law, became a lawyer in what is now fremont, ohio. he was a reformer. his wife was a reformer. and when the civil war started, he joine

his presidency. yes, it was the most scandal ridden to that point in history, but there were also some of his actions that loomed large in better way. he helped create national park, the first official national. he oversaw the pass and enactment of the 15th amendment, which the right to vote to african-americans. he implemented the enforcement acts which congress passed to enforce the 15th amendment and protect from actions groups like the ku klux klan. and he vigorous fully enforce these laws and effectively disrupt. did the klan in the south with this and with his enforcement of the 14th and 15th amendments grant more to protect and defend civil rights of african-americans than any other president for almost a century until you get to the presidency of lyndon. he was also a genuine only nice guy. he was an amiable man who was willing to admit his mistakes. in fact, despite what you may have heard recently, us grant was the first u.s. president to be arrested. he was arrested for speeding. he loved

president biden 46% and president trump 47%.or the current president. there is no enthusiasm and they are frustrated because everyone is talking about the president's age. they are. super pack for president biden released this ad, praising the inflation reduction act. watch. >> thanks to joe biden's inflation reduction act, doubling good jobs next month or so, bringing manufacturing jobs back to america. >> cheryl: the super pack is paying $12.3 million between this week and november 12 launching adcampaigns in key battleground state. you saw that likely while you were watching football over the weekend. you knew this was coming. >> todd: i was waiting to see how you would segue this in. >> cowboys fan. >> todd: it will come down to the tight end play. i ignored the other positions on the field. congratulations. >> cheryl: see you next week weekend, todd. >> what week of pregnancy this abortion access be put off? >> put back in place roe v. wade. >> be precise. >> i am being precise, need to put into law protection of roe v. wad

that's including the president. that is something that is happening -- we leave on thursday, there you go. >> are these pcr tests the president is getting? >> that is something the physician would have. >> what is the protocol for anyone meeting with the president? >> any time we are around any of the principles, we do test. that has been the way we have moved forward for the past almost two years. that has not changed. no white house protocol is going to be changing at the top, but when we do have close engagement with the president, senior staff, as you all know, or anyone, we do test. >> we recently did an interview with dr. deborah bursting, she said leaders are living in a fantasy world amid the latest covid search. she said the next vaccine booster is coming way too late. what's your response to that and what she shares with others. aren't you confident you are as prepared you can be for this booster? >> we know that we have made a historic progress in this nation and in the ability to manage covid. in a way t

secretary of state blinken visits with president zelenskyy in ukraine and vice president harris travels to southeast asia to confer with allies. >>> looming large in all those discussions, three who weren't there. we met up with the vice president in jakarta, indonesia, and talked about her efforts in the region, plus the issue she's taking on as vp, abortion rights, root causes of migration and why she thinks republicans are honing in on her. >> how do you respond to those attacks? that's not policy. that's about you. >> they feel the need to attack a because they're scared. >> plus do americans think there should be maximum age limits for politicians. our new poll ■has interesting findings. >>> then 22 years after 9/11 and two years following chaotic withdraw of u.s. forces from afghanistan, we'll talk with the former head of central command, general frank mckenzie. arkansas republican french hill joins us to talk about national security and what's on the congressional agenda as house members head back to washington for the fall session. it's all just ahead on "face the nation." >>> g

the president decided to accept that. but it comes at an important moment as the uaw refrained in endpors dorsing in the presidential election. many labor groups have backed biden, buts this is one of the endorsements he's still trying to secure. and it comes as the white house has walked a very careful line when it comes to these negotiations between the uaw and the big three auto makers. the white house doesn't have any legal authority to be involved in these negotiations, so they have been careful with what they have been able to say. president biden has been out there saying that he supports these auto workers and he believes that the record profits that auto companies are earning at this moment should be shared with those workers. but the white house has stopped short of weighing in on the specific demands that the uaw has been making. all of this is playing out as part of the president's core mission here is appealing to those working class voters. it comes as there's about to be a remarkable split screen in the 204

what is going on with the president?ing things that didn't happen did happen, or is he just randomly making stuff up? admiral kirby: the president was deeply touched and honored to be able to spend 9/11 with the military members there in alaska and some families. and was honored by their presence and the chance to make an important set of remarks about why we need to continue to remember that day. and he did that. and he spoke about a visit to ground zero, which he did participate in about a week or so after the event, and what that looked and what that smelled and what that felt like. and it had a visceral impact on him, as it did so many other americans on that terrible day. and he's focused on making sure that an attack like that never happens again, which is why we've improved our over-the-horizon counterterrorism capability and why we continue to hold terrorist networks accountable. and it's why he spent so much time last week shoring up our national security interests in a vital part of the world on issues that are

president? >> he thinks so, and that's what matters. she's the vice president of the united states. people say to me, why isn't she doing this or that? because she's the vice president. that's the job description. you don't do that much. [laughter] >> john: i mean, it really does sort of reflect what john mccain said about the job, that it wasn't worth a warm bucket of spit. >> two things. at least kamala harris is living up to nancy pelosi's job description of doing nothing. second of all, look, i was in the white house for seven years. i saw how important it was for the vice president to be able to step up and take on tasks at the direction of the president and get them done. that was john nance garner who said it wasn't worth more than a bucket of spit. but you prettied it up. vice president joe biden played an important job in being an emissary to capitol hill to a lot of democrat senators and democrat house members who felt more comfortable dealing with him then they did with barack obama r

she is the vice president. that is the job description. >> so, congressman, just to point out there. she did stopped short of a full endorsement of a president harris. i want to add, that you brought this up about the learning curve, republicans right now are running on the idea that vice president harris may have to step in if president biden wins a second term. they are using that against her and what do you say in response to pelosi there, there is no time for a learning curve? >> the learning curve has taken place. i said she spent the first two years learning this job. she learned it well and she is doing it efficiently and that's what matters to me. and that's what i think she's doing. >> on speaker pelosi's comments there? >> i have no comment on that. i say what i feel. and that's what i stand by. congressman, well i have, you i want to get your reaction to the house republican impeachment inquiry alleging what they are saying is a culture of corruption involving president biden and his family. what do

and after his vice presidency and during his candidacy for president. example of many. in 2015 hunter biden -- started working with cfc which is a chinese company, energy company by the chinese communist party chinese communist party. there is evidence they delay payment after joe biden was no longer vice president so no appearance ofal impropriety. in 2017 after joe biden left office hunter wants to get paid by the chinese communist party in a july 4 of 2017 there's a meeting in moscow between vladimir putin and the present for the chairman of the cfc which is a chinese energy party was present in talking about a large-scale purchase of a company by the chinese communist party. on july 30wi of 2017 there is a text with hunter biden and the members of cfc and that tax rates if i get a call or text from anyone involved other than you saying you are the chairman will make certain between a man sitting next to me and every person he knows and ability to forever hold a grudge that you regreter that -- he could have been killed and he is not since 2018. that

do you think the president lied? >> there is a difference between lying in impeachable. >> i'm not saying impeachable. i would like to know the answer to this question and that is what impeachment inquiry provides. host: this morning in the op-ed pages of the washington times. it is a columnist for the washington times and a former communications editor for president trump's campaign. here is the headline. the media is up to their eyeballs in evidence against biden but claims reporters would rather remain ignorant of the truth. this is tom out of pittsburgh, california. good morning. caller: thank you for taking my call. you'll have to bear with me. i am confused on this. when joe biden was vice president of the united states this dealing was going on or was this something that happened after he left office? host: i believe the house republicans want to look into all of this. what was happening when he was vice president. i do not think they are bounding into a specific timeframe. caller: the thing is, my opinion , i

the presidents son? the executive, was intimately involved in corrupt, in the biden family business dealings. he visited joe biden's residence 36 times while he was vice president. in this email exchange, he actually says, to her, will you call me when you get a chance? i'm in the office or on my cell. 47 minutes later, this email that was sent, seen on the screen, was sent in the email clearly was a coordination of talking points between the presidents office and the business. in fact, what is really striking is this interaction occurred on the same day. the other thing that is interesting to note, not only did they have interaction but in the email it says the vp signed off on this. the vp signed off on the shared communication. timewise, this occurred on the very same day that the board had requested hunter to help alleviate pressure he was facing from the prosecutor investigation. let's turn to another email. we have an email from a staffer emailing joe biden about a scheduled call with ukrainian pre

president. the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. schumer: i ask unanimous consent -- no quorum, thank you. mr. president, as i've said for months, the only solution for avoiding a harmful government shutdown is bipartisanship. we now have four days to go until funding expires on saturday at midnight. we are now right at the precipice. yet, all last week speaker mccarthy, instead of focusing on bipartisanship, catered to the hard right and has nothing, nothing to show for it. now the speaker will put on the floor hard right appropriations bills that have nothing to do with avoiding a shutdown. so this bike, the senate -- so this week, the senate will move forward first. over the weekend, senate democrats and republicans, together, worked in good faith to reach an agreement on a continuing resolution that will keep the government open beyond september 30. we are very close to finishing our work, and hope to release text very soon. this bipartisan c.r. is a temporary solution, a bridge to

this could mean there would be a sideline summit between president biden and president xi. so, he was referring to that in this press conference because there was so much discussion about changing penn's absence from the g20, that it is a snub, it is a sign there were tense relations between china and india, which is true. xi jinping did send his deputy, premier li, and president biden saying he met with lee chugging today to discuss the number of issues that are facing not only china and its economy but the u.s. china relationship as its trying to find its way forward. for vietnam, it's why this will be very tricky diplomatic territory to try to navigate, ali, because vietnam is trying to appease all of the superpowers. it has relationships with the united states, with china, and with russia. it has issues with china, with a territorial dispute, the general friction in the region over china's claims to most of the child -- south china sea. it'll be interesting to see how china reacts to this visit which appears to be warm between president biden and the leaders of vietnam,

took over the presidency after the death president harding.and then was elected president on his own merit. i'm not here today just to you. a step by step of president coolidge's political biography. you can get that reading a book. and i've got a good book that i could recommend, miss amity. but there is a point here in. calvin coolidge, as decades of public service, he never settled. he never said good enough. he continuously looked for new opportunities to lead. he worked hard, earn every single one of those positions. and when he did, he didn't go along to get along. he didn't take the easy path. and he often made unpopular decisions or went against the political grain to make sure that right thing was done and that he believed in what needed to be done. when he became president, america was still very recovering from a world war. but he didn't wallow in that. he drove america forward, always looking to see what challenges may be on the horizon. in president coolidge's first annual message to what we might call his first state of the union

on september 28, 2015 the president visited but then vice president biden that rhody and president withhen vice president biden at the white house to discuss anticorruption efforts, right? with got a theme of corruption anticorruption, right? gabriel a corrupt romanian oligarch the subject of a criminal probe is a subject of a criminalt? probe prosecution fon corruption and bribery in romania. this committee has reviewed transactions showing that the biden family received money from a foreign company by this russian oligarch corrupt. five weeks after the romanian president visited with vice president biden he begins paying hunter biden and his associate through his company. the money from biden enterprises is deposited into robinson walker, llc. now, this llc is directly operated by hunters known business partner robert walker. these are all facts that we found through the investigation. inin november 2015 and again in march 2016 hunter biden.rogers as a foreign agent meets with the u.s. ambassador to romania. red flag. then coincidentally over a $1 million flows to the bidens. i am not

president. the presiding officer: the republican whip. mr. thune: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, is the senate in a quorum call? the presiding officer: yes. mr. thune: i would ask unanimous consent that the quorum call be lifted. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. thune: three weeks ago, president biden launched the second part of his student loan giveaway. his dramatic overhaul of the repay program for federal student loans. the president's revamp flew under the radar event when it was first announced overshadowed by his plan to forgive up to $10,000 of student loan debt outright or $20,000 for pell grant recipients. but the truth is that the president's new income-driven repayment plan, which he has dubbed the saving on a valuable education plan, or the save plan is just as problematic, if not more, than the president's scheme to forgive outright. the new plan will create a system in which the majority of the federal borrowers will never fully repay their federal student loans. the wharton budget model estimates that just 24.6% of future borrowers will rep

that's where the president lives. the white house represents the executive branch of the government. before he got through i could see why uncle jim said that the president has the biggest and toughest job in the world. yes, bill. the white house is both the home and office of the president. the president is chosen by the people through the electoral college. some of the presidents' duties are set by the constitution others are established by laws treaties president and public opinion. the president's main job is to take care of the law should be faithfully executed. he must decide whether to sign or to veto every congressional bill and when a bill becomes law he is responsible for putting that law into effect. to help him. the president has 10 permanent executive departments. state treasury war justice post office navy interior agriculture commerce and labor the secretary of each department is a member of the president's cabinet, which is his chief advisory body. from time to time as emergencies arise special indepen

president. the presiding officer: the senator from kentucky. mr. paul: reserving the right to object. we can, today, renew the national flood program and reform it. all it takes is for the senators assembled here not to reject -- to on to the reforms. i think flood insurance provided by the taxpayer, subsidized by the taxpayer, shouldn't, for rich people and shouldn't be for their vacation home and beach homes. the government's got no business ensuring rich people and their second homes. i have some proposals to reform the system. we're being asked, though, to extend the flood program without any reforms, without any reforms to protect the taxpayers. like many federal programs, the flood insurance is well intentioned, but it very well may be the best real-life example of a moral hazard. the program covers over five million policyholders and provides over a trillion dollars in coverage. we're told that the program is funded through insurance premiums, but charging well below the market price of i

the president said it. he is going to go. he will go. the president intends to go.ve a date or time to. preview at this time. >> bret: he hasn't visited. >> one of the more shameful. things of the biden. administration he refused to. visit is. >> bret: former president donald. trump is the only candidate who. has visited the east palestine. site. >> we're going to find time to. come back, if necessary, if they. come don't come back and give. you the treatment that you need. we will be back. >> former president has not. returned since those february. remarks both he and president. biden have praised highway. safety bill from vance and. democratic senator sherrod. brown. >> bret: the highway safe-t act. how does that factor in? what would make it different as. far as transporting hazardous. materials? >> number one, give proper. notice to the firefighters who. are dealing with the hazardous. materials. second thing is it would. increase the safety inspection. requirement so that the train. crashes happen less frequently. in the first place. >> bret: we had an average

the president of el salvador addressed more religious issues. while it is expected that us president biden will address the issue and mention afghanistan in his speech, the president of paraguay , like many countries in the region, has called for action on climate change, a concern of 290 international communities. in his speech, the president of senegal has criticized the global situation and said that the world's food is not better than last year's meeting, and about the broken united nations peace mission in one of the important speeches of the year of africa was the slogan of the donkey speech. the chancellor of germany called the industrialized countries the cause of climate change and asked them to be more responsible in this regard. to have the close relationship with north korea has been reported. about palestine, i have only talked about algeria . yes, thank you. i said that i did with sanaz, a reporter of the radio and television agency and a media expert . however, on the third day of his stay in new york, the president has already ha

on september 28, 2015, the president visited with the then vice president biden, the romania president visited withen this vice president biden at the white house to discuss anti-corruption efforts, right? got a theme of anti-corruption, right? gabriel popovic, oligarch in the subject of a criminal probe and prosecution for corruption and bribery in romania. this committee has reviewed transactions showing the biden family received money from a foreign company run by this russian oligarch, corrupt gabriel popovic. after the romania president visited vice president biden, popovic begins paying hunter biden and his associates, rob walker, through his company. the money from bladen enterprises deposited to robinson walker llc, this llc is directly operated by hunter biden's known business partner, rob walker. these are all facts we've found through the investigation. in november, 2015, and again in march 2016, hunter biden, who is not registered as a foreign agent under fara, meets with the u.s. ambassador to romania. red flag. then coincidentally, over $1 million flows to the bidens. i'm

the presiding officer: the president pro tempore. mrs. murray: for the information of all senators, last week an overwhelming 91 senators voted to begin debate on the bipartisan appropriations package. this is a package of bills which each one of them passed the appropriations committee unanimously, and we have been working very hard in a bipartisan effort in good faith to set up a very robust process for amendments and for debate. unfortunately, a few senators decided to object to us last week, and now, madam president, we are moving forward. and i would just say, a lot of senators have come to me and to others and have spoken on the floor about how much they hate doing a gigantic omnibus at the end of the year. and we have been working really hard on this package to make sure we don't get stuck doing that once again. so if everyone is serious about wanting to show this place can actually work, well, now is the time to come together to make sure we can do that a. we, madam president, cannot let a few senators toss out months of hard work

the president.e clinton plus 1800, george w. bush minus almost 6000. plus 200 and 2800 for obama. trump rico at plus 600, trump total minus 200. biden plus 4000. i mean do you think that registers? > well i think it registe with autoworkers and i think that everyone in america and you saw the president stand up, stay with working people and say that steve brandon how said, we have been through appeared in the country where the corporate leaders have done really well made a lot of money. people who are quitting that welfare workers, deserve to share -- especially in the auto industry, and the people all their on strike and they all took their pets with the auto industry was in trouble in 2009, and they grew to save the artistry by cutting their pain bad times. now that the auto industry is making record profits, they deserve to share those profits and get their just rewards robbing sacrifice to save the american auto industry. >> there has been a lot of poland recently, a lot of regrets about pulling

despite the former presidents many legal troubles, the 2024 gop race for president continues to rollke the president himself, which brings us to vivek ramaswamy, campaigning today in the state of new hampshire where they are showing a bit of interest. we want to bring in emma barnett, campaign on the ground for us in new hampshire. thank you for joining us. appreciate it. talk to us about ramaswamy and his perception in new hampshire. who is showing up to his events and what are they telling you? >> yeah. heisman, have you saturday from the hawkinson state fair. ramaswamy just spoke here to about 150 people who came to listen to him. it is one of the 11 stops on his bus tour that he is doing this labor day weekend. not only does he have a packed schedule but he has packed audiences at these events. and that goes back all the way to mid august, even before the debates, we are he held town halls where there was one he did in new hampshire, where nearly 500 people were there and it speaks to the ramaswamy rumbling that is happening here in the granite state. the big question is, is this

president joe biden.s is his first speech at the united nations general assembly since taking office. president biden confirmed standings between the u.s. and china as concern over tension is on the rise. >> when it comes to china, i want to be clear and consistent. we seek to responsibly manage competition between our countries so it does not deepen the conflict. i've said we are for de-risking, not decoupling with china. we will push back on aggression and intimidation to defend the rules of the road to help safeguard security and prosperity, but we also stand ready to work with china on issues to progress on our common efforts. >> shortly after president biden's address to the general assembly, i spoke to the head of the united nations about what he had to say. if we could look back at what u.s. president joe biden said, he had some very strong words to the international community about the russian aggression into ukraine, saying the fundamentals of the united nations charter have been put under threat

the president is starting. see what he says here. >> sade, i told her when she walks off the stage and she's president and they say joe biden is out in the waiting room, she promises she won't say joe who. do you have seats? okay. i once said that early on in any tenure. everybody take a seat. none of them had seats. you guys are impressive. three of you are really close friends. one is about to become a close friend. gov, my problem is your biceps are a little small. you're not in very good shape. i'll work with you. see what we can do. really and truly, thank you, thank you. i appreciate it very much. senator ben cardin is -- i hate to say public servants, but it's true. i judge my colleagues over the years based on not just intellectual capacity and decency but their integrity. the minute you have here have incredible integrity. integrity. it's just amazing. chris van holland is one of the reasons i got elected haven't. he did my debait prep for me. steny hoyer, he and i share the eastern shore of delaware a

president?e pence said something about 15 weeks, too, which was a big change for mike pence because mike pence has no exceptions, and i have exceptions, by the way. i think people should have exceptions and if it's rape, incest or the life of the mother, i think that you should have rights. >> does the fetus have constitutional rights? >> i will tell you they think most people, most republicans are willing. you go, life of the mother, rape, incest, i think most of them are there. >> should a fetus have constitutional rights, mr. president? >> i don't know what he's saying because before he wanted, you know, you couldn't have an abortion. >> what are you saying? what do you think? >> excuse me. now he's saying 15 weeks. wow, where did that come from? that's a radical change. look, something is going to happen that will be good for everybody. i'm almost like a mediator in this case. they wanted roe v. wade terminated because it was inappropriate. we got it done. something's going to happen and it'

. >> now, more from president biden and the president of resilience as they announce a new initiative between their two countries aimed at protecting workers rights and addressing workplace discrimination. growing up in my household, my dad used to have an expression. he said job is about a lot more than a paycheck. it's about your dignity, it's about respect, it's about being able to look your child in the eye and saying, honey, it will be ok, and mean it. that is the heart of the economic idea to rebuild the economy from the middle out, the bottom up, not the top down. when that happens, middle-class does find -- the union built the middle class in america, but secondly, the poor have a shot up, and the wealthy still do very well. except they don't pay enough taxes. that's a different issue. that vision is powered by strong labor. that's why in america i'm proud that my administration is characterized as the most prounion administration in american history. let me be clear. whether it is a union worker, record corporation profits should make record -- mean record contracts for union

then very short period time vice president and then president. and suddenly mr. jacobson, who was not by any means known to be involved in politics or zionism or anything else, found himself to be among the most american --, not in america at that time. perhaps one of the most important -- in history, because he found himself with that opportunity, that closeness to power, that the most eloquent speakers for zionism simply didn't have. and he made one request. he made the request that his friend, the president, the most powerful man in the world, meet with signed weitzman, who i'm told that harry truman first called him because, of his inability to understand that the language at the heart which is not uncommon american challenge. let's not we shouldn't simplify history. presidents don't make decisions because their friends ask them to. and credit for that decision belongs with the president. the presidents have to face a multitude of affairs, both political, moral and what is in the best interests of their country in the world. but we should have no doubt that a

, unlike the president of ukraine, it is possible to say this, the president of poland can do without confirmed that he himself can generate all this, so i am curious . is it he himself? or suggested and the one who suggested what he thinks, well, of course we are in the whirlwind of the polish election campaign, of course. after this election campaign , the situation is much better. moreover, if the right -wing justice party wins the elections so as to enter into one block with the confederation of independent poland, then we can have the e-e bloc of poland , hungary and slovakia, if minister robert fitzú wins there the other day, and it will not be about the ukrainian bloc, unfortunately , what should we do about it? my polish friends are very they are offended when i tell them what we will have to do. we will have to look for allies further west in poland, now there is every chance to become the undisputed leader of this region. 25-30 years after the war, which is not known when it will end, but poland can be an economic locomotive , poland can be the main geopolitical player in ce

call with president zelenskyy. so i think that it's fun for him to try that, his defense. i can't imagine that's going to work. >> okay, here's donald trump's new testimony in the federal prosecution that's in florida. okay. i want to ask you about the case related to mar-a-lago. a new charge suggest you asked the staffer to delete security camera footage so i wouldn't get to the hands of investigators. >> false. but more importantly, the tapes weren't deleted. in other, words there was nothing done to. them and they were my tapes, i could've fought them. i didn't even have to give them the, topside on think, i think i would've won in court. when they asked for the tapes i said, sure, they are my tapes. i couldn't spot, them i didn't even have to give them. just so you understand the, we did not delete anything. nothing was deleted. >> joyce vance, so, there is testimony in the case, now there's been new witness who has said that donald trump asked them, ordered them or the staff at mar-a-lago to delete the surveil

the president has withheld his endorsement of president biden.say about you. another donald trump presidency would be a disaster. how would you win that endorsement? >> if that's the case, i probably won't win his -- i don't know the gentleman. i know his name. i think he is not doing a good job in representing his union. he is not going to have a union in three years from now. those jobs are all going to be gone. all of those electric cars are going to be made in china. >> nbc news has extended an invitation to president biden for a sitdown with kristin. she joins me now. new moderator of "meet the press." >> surreal to hear that. >> just off of this extraordinary interview. what was your impression from that exchange? >> i think that you heard former president trump, who is fired up about a lot of these issues and trying to draw sharp contrast with president biden. we should say manufacturing has gone up in recent years. i thought it was notable. he would like to win the endorsement of the auto workers. i read back that statement from the presi

in february, the president said he would talk to president xi soon and meeting with him.ober, this still hasn't happened. >> there's not a meeting or a discussion on the schedule right now, andrea. we believe we are working towards that. >> is he coming in november? >> don't know. the chinese haven't made a decision. if they have, they haven't announced it. we're not sure. obviously, he is welcome to come. we would appreciate having his attendance there. the president was disappointed president xi couldn't make it to the g20 in new delhi a few weeks ago. there's going to be plenty of opportunity for us to continue to engage the prc. even though there hasn't been a presidential discussion since the g20 in bali a year or so ago, there has been an opening up of the lines of communication between china and the united states. >> you had to open them because they shut down completely, frankly, after the taiwan visit last year. >> right. >> by the speaker at the time. then after the spy balloon, it was shut down. then the defense -- the military communications were cut off now f

>> the most pro-union president. >> i'd be the most pro-union president in american history >> reporter: today saying, strong unions are good for the economy. >> autoworkers help create america's middle class. they deserve a contract that sustains them and the middle class. >> reporter: but his climate agenda also puts him behind the wheel of electric vehicles, touting american automakers' investment to move away from fossil fuels. that transition a key issue in negotiations. >> come on, jump in. i'll give you a ride to washington. >> reporter: republicans blaming mr. biden. >> president biden has been more focused on giving hundreds of billions of dollars of green money to these big auto dealers and not actually delivering for the american worker. >> reporter: and big picture, any risks of harm to the u.s. economy fall on his watch with the 2024 campaign looming the gop front-runner has blasted a biden administration proposal that two-thirds of new passenger cars sold in the u.s. be electric by 2032. former president trump in an interview with nbc's new moderator of "meet the press," k
