i don't think that our current president or our previous president would do that. but roosevelt read with purpose. he would find social critics. he would read their work, and he would get to know those people. famous examples with jacob reese, the photographer and social reformer. he talked to him about the social ills of new york when he was commissioner of police in new york and then later governor of new york up. he read booker t washington's up from slavery and invited him to the white house just to get to know the person of the book was quite a sensation and he wanted to talk about america's policy towards african-americans. what he didn't realize at the time was that this was the first time a black man had been invited to dine at the white house. and that caused another sensation. roosevelt leaned in. he was proud of it, but there were people in that, and there was much more racist times who were outraged by it. so it was a really important moment, and it was based on roosevelt use of culture. and there are other examples. he read upton sinclair's the jungle,

the day of the senator's death president johnson sent letters to the president of the senate and the speaker of the house. which urgently implored congress to enact a meaningful and effective gun control law. what in the name of conscience will it take? to pass a truly effective gun control law this hour of tragedy that question should at last be answered. let us now spell out our grief. in constructive action during the month of june as he had done throughout the entire period of his incumbency the president continued to members of congress to stop the senseless criminal violence resulting from easy access to guns. on june 10 the president convened the national commission on the causes and prevention of violence. gathered in the east room the special panel, which would come to be known as the eisenhower commission after its chairman, dr. milton eisenhauer. included members from across section of american life church government education and labor and my charge to you. is simple and direct? i ask you to undertake a penetrating search. for the causes and the prevention of violence. a

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

some of these comics make up a president, they invent someone to be president. of course when they do that, you can pretty much be sure that a president is going to be like assassinated or something. usually when there's a real- life president involved in the storyline, of course, the president will always be rescued, and that storyline will probably be continued later on. so you will see in superhero comic books the real-life president showing up going all the way back to world war ii. >> other questions? i see one on this side. right here at the end of the row. there you are. >> i have a question that i've always been fascinated by and probably in my own head. and it relates to political cartoons. and i always remember when political cartoonists were national figures. if we want to read the news, we read the paper. if we wanted to get opinion, we would read columns. if we wanted to get some forecasting, we'd go to the cartoons. even here i noticed a few cartoons that hinted or implicit by the political cartoonist of what might be coming down the road. has anyb

the presiding officer: the president pro tem. mrs. murray: mr. president, i've been down here all week, saying again and again, the only way we're going to avoid a shutdown is a c.r. that can get bipartisan support to quickly pass the house and senate, and we've been working nonstop to pass that commonsense, nonpartisan c.r. i put together with my colleagues across the aisle. tonight, we we had a bill from the house that passed in a bipartisan way with nearly every house democrat voting in support. i'm now glad the senate passed it as well and get it to the president's desk for his signature. this bill does not contain the devastating cuts house republicans were pushing just yesterday. it does not contain the ineffective partisan border provisions they were demanding. so mr. president, there were good reasons to vote for it. first and foremost, it prevents a senseless government shutdown, one that house republicans have been pushing us towards for weeks. but this bill also meets the president's full request for disaster relief fund, and that's go

president. a senator: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from maryland. mr. cardin: mr. president, a little over a week ago i was in israel with ten u.s. senators meeting with the israeli leadership. and i must tell you they are very much looking forward to having a confirmed ambassador from the united states in jerusalem to help in regards to the challenges they're now facing as a result of hamas' attack -- terrorist attack in israel. and they're very much looking forward to jack lew being that ambassador. we heard that directly. his nomination has been welcomed by the israelis, including israel's foreign minister who said he looks forward to working with. the former israeli ambassador to the united states wrote that lew is, quote, a true statesman and a passionate jew, a mench in every sense of the word. he has the support of the jerusalem post, orthodox union advocacy center, antidefamation leek and the list goes on and on and on. why? because he is so well qualified for this position. he's been confirmed by the senate as the secretary -- former secretary

as you know this morning president biden and vice president harris spoke to prime minister netanyahu. this was the president's third conversation with him since this crisis began. president biden and harris continue to meet with the national security team to continue to receive updates and get direction, the president held 17 calls and meetings over saturday, sunday and monday. with his national security team, the president and the vice president has held more than three dozen meetings briefings and calls since the attacks on israel began. ms. jean-pierre: good afternoon. the president has recently had his third conversation with prime minister benjamin netanyahu since the crisis began. vice president harris and president biden meet with the security team to give direction on next steps. the president held 17 calls and meetings over saturday, sunday, and monday with his national security team. the president and vice president have had three dozen meetings, briefings, and calls since the attacks on israel began. the president will continue to be relentless in insuring israel and the is

the president for the second time in his presidency coming to an active war zone. as we were saying last hour this is not like kyiv. the front line between gaza and tel aviv is an hours drive. the sirens very well may go off during the president's time here. we saw secretary of state blinken having to run to the bomb shelters not once but twice. but also very unusual, we're expecting the president to meet with israel's war cabinet, to actually sit in on the decision making body that is prosecuting this war effort, which is something i can't think of a parallel on. it's one thing obviously to meet a fellow leader during one time and another to sit on one of it holy of holies, the very, very small decision making body making the critical calls during this war. and the white house has made clear is president is here to listen. the president supports israel's right to defend itself. he's made clear he believes hamas needs to go, but the president is also going to ask questions for what is israel's plan for the day after. it's one thing to roll into gaza to topple hamas

by things he did before he became president as he did during his presidents . that's because the election of 1896 is one that historians point to as being the first modern u.s. presidential election. electioneering back in 1800s was different than it is today. he did not even have one national campaign. they party in each state ran the campaign. they will be in ohio campaign for the republican nominee. new york campaign for the republican nominee. the mccamley campaign, thanks to his close friendship with industrialists up in cleveland named marcus hanna, it really brought modern campaign politics to the united states. they used polling for the first time. they pull different messages and tailor their messages to different communities. in one area he will sell this and in another area you will so this idea. direct mail. they sent out millions of pieces of direct mail. this is new. nobody did this before. they also spent a ton of money. if you want to look at election, starting tens of money, mccamley election was 1890s. >> i remember how it was sort of frowned

vice president. democrats have joined with republicans to oust kevin mccarthy from the speakership of the u.s. house of representatives. clearly this is developing as we're talking right now. but with a development like this, what sort of a message do you see something like this sending to other countries about the stability of the u.s. government? the speaker of the house is arguably the most powerful member of that chamber and what do you think it says to countries looking at what's happening here? vice president pence: well, let me say chaos is never america's friend and it's never a friend of american families that are struggling. and i'm deeply disappointed that a handful of republicans who partnered with all the democrats in the house of representatives to oust the speaker of the house. but i suspect before the week is out there will be more votes on who will be elected speaker of the house. i expect that most of the republicans in the congress will vote again for kevin mccarthy, the way they v

current president, the incumbent president. in this case, president obama. that would be for vice president biden's records. and then, of course, president biden himself is the incumbent president. and then there is at least a 30 day period in which they have time to review those records and then the end or a period in which we are able to hopefully provide access and request to chairman of the committee or whoever is asked for them under a special access request. and you're saying the agency is complying, and within that timeline, we are 100% complying. it is not our timeline to set. remember the timeline is set by the incumbent president or the former president. and so we have to follow those timeline lines. and that's in the law. but we are getting them the records. so they can review them and be in compliance. absolutely. any concern that this is a personal correspondence between a father and a son is what consideration is given to that? well, what the records that would be responsive under the presidential records act are

we saw sarah palin run for president for vice president in 2008. we've seen, in fact, women running for president more frequently now and also individuals of color, men and women running for president more than we had sort of not only previous to obama, but to some degree previous to having the idea of who occupies that space, that that, you know, sort of iconic space in our imagining or in our imagined minds who can be in that and have it be kind of more normalized? may i say something? go ahead. i was to run for president, but i was born in canada. so i came all. even going to dawson isn't even more than that, i swear. way too. i can't say all the time. i would never. last day want to begin running for congress instead. oh yeah. that does. this is a question for all the panelists. and feel free to respond to the question to one another's responses. but thing i was struck by is how we as moviegoers have changed our consumption habits for. film with the rise of multiple streaming services, more and more people are watching movies at home versus, go

the president was asked yesterday about 2020 president answered straightforward. you heard him say when he came the 2020 election you had more than 60 judges who basically threw those cases under court for proved it not to be true. when it came to the accusations that the elections were not real or whatever however they set it in 2020 but also the trump administration said the 2020 election was the safest elections they have ever had any heard that from the administration. the president and should that question. more broadly the president has said once the house conference was able to get their affairs in order after spending 22 days in their chaos that we have seen the last 22 days once he figures that out he'd be willing to work with them in good faith to get things done on behalf of the american people. we have been able to do big things in a bipartisan way whether it's the infrastructure law, we've been able to deliver to the american people and the president wants to do that but he wants to continue that progress. the american people are clear they want to co

so the president, as he's been doing, will continue to do the work of the president, to do the work of the commander in chief and this is no different. reporter: one more. u.a.w. expanded its strike today. is it time for team sperling and acting secretary sue to be on the ground in detroit? karine: they have been to detroit the past couple weeks and have been closely engaged in the u.a.w. and the big three. obviously they're not part of the conversation but they're offering assistance the u.a.w. may need. the president believes collective bargaining is incredibly important, for both sides to come together and continue to have those negotiations and continue to have those conversations and we're here to assist in any way and we have been. we have been doing that. but again, collective bargaining so that hopefully there's a win-win agreement and it's done in good faith. and we've seen it in the past two years under this administration work out in different scenarios and what we're hoping to continue. go ahead, m.j. reporter: will the president meet with is a is man that walls from the sy

with president clinton, the fbi went and actually interviewed the president, and the vice president, about these matters, and other people in the white house. president clinton lost his law license over that and ended up that there was an impeachment. can you please talk about what should be done from normal and regular department of justice officials to see whether this has occurred, and whether we are entitled to ask questions about that investigation from the fbi and the doj? >> thank you, mr. sessions. i think you are more than entitled. i think you're obligated to look into the allegations that the whistleblowers have brought. the whistleblowers were very detailed in the investigative steps that they took. those that they wanted to take, but were prevented for taking, but would have taken in any other investigation, we do not have a window into where the roadblock was thrown. we do not know who through it. >> would you think it would be proper for this committee to bring those individuals into properly vet them about that? or, is that the duty of the doj through the federal bure

president a boss, of the palestinian authority, supposed to meet president biden in amman at the jordanian, but he called that meeting off after the strike on this hospital. they subsequently canceled the entire meeting. president biden's trip to the middle east, now, down to just this israel leg. in terms of what we know, and what we don't know, chris, about this hospital strike. the palestinian authority, palestinian health ministry says, up to 500 people were killed in this explosion. many of those are in the family's, or the courtyard of this hospital, and people who believed, fatally, as it turns out, that if it was on the hospital grounds, they might be safe there. now, israel is saying, this was a palestinian, islamic jihad rocket, which was fired from a cemetery, behind the hospital, which misfired, and landed in this courtyard. it is unclear, chs, how a single panel stingy and rocket could cause this level of damage. these rockets are deadly, they are dangerous, that they do not typically kill 500 people. but, the israeli military is, this morning, producing, what it says, is evid

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

this complicates meetings for president biden who was scheduled to meet with president mahmoud abbas. mahmoud abbas cancelled that meeting and egypt have shut off americans and israelis against talks about humanitarian aid following this disaster at the hospital. we continue to investigate. >> ainsley: it is hard to report the truth, you have the other side, evidence this was not israel, israel did not cause this blast at the hospital. evidence is it is islamic jihad. >> the video with voice notes about what he was seeing. i said, do you see a crater or evidence this was an israeli st strike. we make a conclusion based on facts we were able to obtain. this was a rocket fired from inside gaza that fell short landing on civilians. >> todd: trey, people can believe one thing, but the leaders, king abdullah and al- sisse, if you know the truth and we know the truth, they know the truth. why wouldn't they put meetings with the president back online? why is it in their best interest to give us the cold shoulder? >> trey: politicings. amidsuch a tragic war taking place and loss of life, lead

president.he did it again as president. eitherway, going back to the families who have family members taken hostage, one of them expressed an incredible disappointment that their government had not kept them safe, but said that they were looking to the states to kind of be that big brother who is going to support them, even if they felt as if their own government had not done its job. now i'm just almost directly quoting what they said, so when the president goes there and expresses his support, i can imagine the emotional impact it has upon many who have been so terribly and emotionally assaulted. there has been criticism of the us's role in not pushing enough on behalf of the citizens in gaza at the moment, and president biden did work with egyptian president al—sisi to allow 28 tracks into gaza. egypt now say there will be an sustainable aid corridor. 0ur correspondence that will be of little help because the hospitals need fuel right now. should the us be doing more to support civilians in g

president biden landing and greeted by prime minister netanyahu along with israeli president herzog. this is not just show of support from the americans but a planning operation to determine what comes next across the region. the hospital explosion overnight in gaza city. we talked with sources on the ground in gaza who say there are many bodies that have not been counted and they are trying to determine what took place. hamas claims it was israeli airstrike. the israeli military releasing phone call and drone video to indicate this was a rocket fired by islamic jihad that misfired and landed in this hospital yard. this was earlier today. >> there was a huge, dramatic event yesterday, the images of civilians are heart wrenching and heart breaking, it wasn't our doing, it was palestinian rocket fired hitting palestinian people. >> the bottom line, we have to gather the facts in the fog of war. many pieces of information get misconstrued and there is emotion involved. information we have, israelis say they did not strike this hospital yard it was jihad rocket that misfired, landed insi

vice president harris and president biden meet with the security team to give direction on next steps. the president held 17 calls and meetings over saturday, sunday, and monday with his national security team. the president and vice president have had three dozen meetings, briefings, and calls since the attacks on israel began. the president will continue to be relentless in insuring israel and the israeli people have what they need in support from the united states to defend themselves in the days, weeks, months, and years ahead. you heard directly from the president, and i have to national security advisor jake sullivan to take any of your questions on this issue. mr. sullivan: i will make a few comments and i will be happy to take your questions. like many of you, we have watched in horror and anguish the scenes in the butchery against innocent civilians at the hands of hamas terrorists in israel the more we have learned, the greater our brief. more than 1000 men, women come in children were slaughtered in their homes, streets, desert fields. at least 14 americans among them. we m

since president ford. please join me in expressing appreciation for a great panel. >> thank you and good afternoon, everyone. i take a quick moment to thank the foundation as they have been inviting me to be a part of the special event and this one will be extraordinary after listening to the conversations we have had since i have been here. a special thanks to the ford family who have allowed me to do things most reporters do not get a chance to do, and particularly to susan who we have spent so much time together between the ship and some of these events. great when you're back in town and nice to have you all here. i want you to think about these two remarkable women, we know them and can think of the high points. think about what they did, how they did it, and when they did it. think of this title, lives of leadership, courage, and grace. both of these women had distinct examples, all three of those wonderful traits. think about being a relatively young mother in the 1950s when women did not have the s

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

the president is one unifier. sometimes he or she can be divisive but everybody knows who the president is in the latest thing the president said and i just thought looking at our country's culture through the lens of the presidency could give you a good sense of where the presidency was at various times and also as the title conveys, show the evolution of culture as technology improves so jefferson read is still the way to get information in my perspective, but it's an inert form of information. then you start to have motion pictures. more fluid and things that are moving. you can see a movie at different places and then there is the interactive level. roosevelt, around 1920 he was the most filled person in the world. it's not just the president takes in culture but the president becomes a part of culture and then obama tweeted, i obviously wrote that before 20 -- trump tweeted even more but here we have the situation where the president thinks something and puts it out in 80 million people immediately see it. it

and the court, as elie said, has not ruled on whether or not a president or a former president enjoys immunity from criminal prosecution. in cases in the civil context that have already been decided by other judges in the d.c. district court, the court where judge chutkan sits, courts have ruled that former president trump does not enjoy immunity from civil suits for actions related to january 6th. and so i think this judge is probably going to be somewhat influenced by the other decisions in that regard, but ultimately, this is going to the d.c. circuit and the u.s. supreme court. and really, it's going to turn on how broadly the court characterizes the facts. what trump is asking is the court to say look, in a very broad man either the actions i took. i was communicating with members of the department of justice. i was communicating with state election officials. those are the kinds of acts that a president undertakes as part of his official duties. and what i expect, the response is going to respond is no, you have to look at a more specific level at what he was doing and whether t

president obama obama. as representative of harry truman's hometown of independence, missouri, i am very much honored to be with you this evening. when harry truman became, the first president to address the naacp in 1947, i don't think anyone could have imagined the progress to come. and since that day, just think about it dr. king marched on washington. president johnson signed a number of civil rights bills. thurgood marshall joined the supreme. and america. barack hussein obama to the presidency in his speech, president truman warned that we cannot afford the luxury of a leisurely attack on discrimination. his words marked the genesis of the civil rights era, ringing out in congress, state legislatures, congregations living, rooms and city streets all around this great country. today we meet to keep truman's words alive and usher our children and their children into new era of civil rights. before dr. divulged his rosa parks took a seat on a bus and president obama swore his oath. president truman signe

you have to make sure president some president i work for too presidents who could read hundreds of pages a night. not every president can. and that doesn't they can't make good decisions. so i think it's, in my view, the most important is to see what the president needs, design the process. the other thing is it's never if the team doesn't feel that they're part of it, if the team ultimately has to execute, it has to be out there in public. it has to be on the hill. the cabinet has to be doing that. the white house staff has to be doing that if you have a process, it leaves feeling this was done them. it doesn't usually play well and when you have a president who isn't going to spend the time necessarily with everyone, it puts a lot of the burden on the chief of staff to do but somebody in the white house has to make everybody feel connected to the decision making process. and it was relatively easy, president obama, because he was he was willing to take time and be there. but in the second term, i think dennis had to do more intermediation than i did even during the election year. and i

the day of the senator's death president johnson sent letters to the president of the senate and the speaker of the house. which urgently implored congress to enact a meaningful and effective gun control law. what in the name of conscience will it take? to pass a truly effective gun control law this hour of tragedy that question should at last be answered. let us now spell out our grief. in constructive action during the month of june as he had done throughout the entire period of his incumbency the president continued to members of congress to stop the senseless criminal violence resulting from easy access to guns. on june 10 the president convened the national commission on the causes and prevention of violence. gathered in the east room the special panel, which would come to be known as the eisenhower commission after its chairman, dr. milton eisenhauer. included members from across section of american life church government education and labor and my charge to you. is simple and direct? i ask you to undertake a penetrating search. for the causes and the prevention of violence. a

the president signed that bill. now we are at a point when we are talking about the supplemental budget which is something that is common. it is not unusual for the administration to ask for a supplemental request. >> you said in addition to -- additional aid may include childcare and other priorities. i'm wondering -- that is the main question. beyond the depth you had agreed to. >> i understand the question. supplementals are not unusual to ask. and these are domestic priorities the president thinks are incredibly important the american people need and want to see. if you think about childcare come of the american rescue plan, how important it was to have the ctc and what a difference that made to communities across the country. this is something that has been part of the presidents platform for some time. he is going to put out his domestic supplemental in the next day or two. he will lay that out for congress and we will continue to have those conversations. the reason he is asking for it is he believes it is ve

and then president. she was a bona fide world traveler. >> she was, as vice president she traveled with the president to i believe 53 countries. excuse me, with the vice president, 53 countries. the first was a trip around the world, which president eisenhower asked vice president to take, and mrs. nixon went with them and the couple secret service agents and the one aid, and that was it. they were on their own and they went to allies in east asia, allies in south asia, in the mideast in europe, and of course there were customs, from white tie to regular business suits and of course women have to do what is necessary to dress according to it and yet they did it on their own. it is quite extraordinary. she was a real trooper in doing that, but she was brought up working. just to get through college, she went university of southern california, she had nine different jobs from sweeping the floor of a bank to being an extra in a hollywood film. her brothers on the other hand had football scholarships. why sh

putin telephoned with syrian president assad, iranian president reisi, who is ready to intervene in thentervenes, and the president of the state. mahmoud abbas, moscow for an immediate ceasefire on both sides, notanyahu, whom putin also contacted, said that he would first destroy hamas. president of russia emphasized the strong rejection and condemnation of any actions that victimize the civilian population, including women and children. vladimir putin informed about the steps russia is taking to prevent further escalation of violence and prevent a humanitarian catastrophe in the sector. in particular, the israeli side was informed of the key points of today's telephone contacts with the leaders of palestine, egypt, iran and syria. prime minister benjamin netanyahu's office said that in a telephone conversation with vladimir putin said that israel would not stop its offensive in the gas strip until hamas's military capabilities and its system of command were eliminated. moscow tried to stop the bloodshed in the middle east in the un security council. the draft russian resolution is imme

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
