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 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

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

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

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

president trump passed and the bill president obama passed.n you have zero to negative interest rates, you cannot run a balanced budget. and you cannot start cutting spending without making the economy worse. but when you do have interest rates, you have to deal with your debt issue or otherwise you spend more and more money paying interest on the debt and you do not have anything left for education and health and science research. first, it is nuts to make a big issue of this debt limit thing. that says -- it is a stupid rule we have in america that congress has to approve twice paying for something they have already voted to spend on. a lot of these people opposing raising the debt ceiling voted for most of the debt that is embedded there. bottom line -- we should bring the deficit down as much as we can, but we ought to pay our debts. you cannot spend money, borrow it, and refuse to pay the people who loan it to you. not if you want to be a great country.

president biden: no.t i have indicated to him is that if that's possible to get these folks out safely, that's what he should do. it's their decision, but i did not demand it. i pointed out to him, if it's real, it should be done. thank you. reporter: but aren't these hostages in jeopardy if there is a ground invasion? president biden: you want to make a speech? look -- obviously, they're in jeopardy. the question is whether or not there's any way of getting them out. if we can get them out, we should get them out. reporter: prime minister albanese -- and welcome, again, to washington -- president biden canceled his may trip to australia because of debt ceiling talks in congress to avoid a first-ever default here in the u.s. more recently, congressional action has stalled as house republicans try to pick a speaker. however, it does appear, since we've been out here, that the house has elected a congressman, mike johnson from louisiana, to that role. but are you worried that grid- -- the gridlock in washin

president. is the strongest that i've seen, by an american president. you tweeted something that i think speaks for millions of people in this country, and around the world, including myself. with friends in israel, you said i'm hearing from friends and relatives in israel about neighbors missing sons and daughters, children reporting for military duty, friends lost to murderous brutality. the scope and scale of this tragedy is heart wrenching beyond words. i stand with israel. what has been your experience with that? because i've been hearing the same thing from friends in this country, worried about their relatives there. what can you say to americans tonight who are worried about their relatives and friends in israel? >> what i can say to anybody who cares about the state of israel is that we're going to do whatever it takes to enable israel to win this war. we're going to stand with israel for the long haul, and it will be a long and painful battle. a marathon, not a sprint. we're preparing

it gave the president what the president needed to move forward. but it probably was a little bit of a difficult process from the perspective of people who were not in the small circle. i was very much in the small circle. as a challenge. you have a trade-off. you want to have everyone's view but you can't have everyone know the president is having a secret meeting. as omb director, your job is to reach out and collect information. it doesn't have to be that someone of the white house staff says there is a meeting about riding a memo. you have to turn to the people who are working on it, count on them to reach out to get all the points of view. that requires trust amongst the parties. if you were to talk to the people who were in the room and not in the room at that time, you would get somewhat different stories about how well it was done. i think the president was well served. i think the president knew what every point of view was and the information in the end. i want to move to the year i was chief of staff. it's now my job to run the process t

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 will be meeting. i cannot imagine the people in the palestinian territories will believe the israeli version of events, but i think it does put -- it is a slightly different situation. if the israeli version of events is true, then the level of betrayal that would be felt inside the palestinian territories, inside the gaza strip would be huge. i think at the moment, they believe it was an israeli missile strike, and that is why they are so angry. >> a lot happening tonight. thanks for staying on top of all of it for us. u.s. president joe biden is expected to arrive in israel tomorrow. the white house says the aim of the visit is to show ironclad support for israel as washington tries to prevent the war against hamas from spiraling into a wider conflict in the middle east. in the meantime, the pentagon has ordered an additional 2000 u.s. troops to deploy to the region to serve in a support role for israeli forces but not in combat. >> ironclad support is the phrase u.s. officials keep repeating. >> we

president -- >> are you going to unfreeze the $6 billion, mr. president? >> sandra: update at the very top of his address, a new death toll for americans killed, 14. as i.e. -- as he addressed thousands slaughtered, and says he has no higher priority than that. we are in constant communication with israel, calling it an act of sheer evil unleashed on the world. pure unadulterred evil. >> john: and the worst rampages of isis but glaringly missing from the speech was any mention of hamas' benefactor, iran, and any potential involvement that they might have had in this. so, to kick that around, jason chaffetz and marie harf. are you surprised the president didn't mention iran? >> disappointed. the president, i thought, gave a heartfelt support of israel. i saw no new news there. it was irresponsible i think for the president to not mention iran. no word to iran, nothing about weapons coming out of afghanistan that were american, nothing about the intelligence failures, he's got to show some strength. i appreciate the bipartisan heartfelt support of israel, bu

it is in the book that i did right, the last day in the presidency before president obama leaves the white house he has a view people who have still been there. they have gone to the east room and they are talking. the next day is the inauguration of trump. he has this conversation and he says, ben and i had this conversation as to whether, in effect, whether we shape history or whether we are simply part of the current. how much he is struggling with the idea that the president of the country can change the direction of the river. trying to keep ourselves on the raft as we go down the currents. and i think that was in some ways emblematic of the eight- year time of president obama trying to find the answers to that question. on the panel, which means i give >> i'm the professor on the panel which means i give the test. you always start a test, you ask students to define things and you would not typically say, don't listen to the guy who wrote the answer. you should listen to the guy who wrote the answer but i do think that it is unlikely i would probably ask students to define the o

it flew president johnson, president kennedy, president nixon. but is it's got a little wear and tear on the weather. we're going to build a beautiful pavilion to taos, marine one, and it'll be a teaching that space as well. it also has the president's armored lincoln continental limousine, which we call the beast. so i'm happy to tell you. we already have $26.1 million in pledges towards our $40 million. all the government of qatar is providing half the campaign's entire target with a $20 million gift. cutter's generosity commemorates the 50th anniversary of the establishment of relations between the united states and qatar and earlier year. as many of you know, president biden designated qatar as a major ally of the united states. now there's 2023 step. so as president foresight regarding this gulf back in 1972, again nixon it's 50 years later and nixon's in the headlines because of the relationship that he established with the emir with the family member and and close family member of the masters. so the nixon foundation name the special exhib

president xi. reporter: yesterday i saw heartwrenching stories of israeli families who lost their loved ones. similar to the one that made you stand up on tv. one of them is the story of a man whose sister appeal to the israeli government who is a peace activist. this a message to encourage and carry to your israeli partners. considering that today we have 11 u.n. workers have been on the list and 1,100 civilians. how can you make sure these people are not khrarl damaged? john: i have address this before. we don't want to see any more innocent civilian life taken alive. none. the numbers should be zero. of innocent civilians. killed or harmed right now. sadly that's not the case. and i can't stand here, and i wouldn't stand here before you and try to predict that in a war, which is still raging, and may rage for some time, that there won't be additional civilian casualties. i wish i could promise you that's not going to be the case. i can't. we don't want to see any more, but i can't promise that.

no one is wanting to be indicted certainly not a president seeking to be president again. it helps rally their base and it totally dominated the headlines and therefore starved his opponents of oxygen. so when it came to a day like this, where it's not required unlike the federal indictments, they said, hey, we should run that playbook. we want to continue to starve our republican opponents of any oxygen. we want to dominate the information. and we know showing up in court is the opportunity to do that and continue to portray as the victim here. >> it's not just going into court, sara, going in and out making controversial statements to say the least. >> yeah in a lot of ways this is a dry run for when he has to be in court. i mean, he's staring down a trial in federal court here in washington, d.c. in march that is unlikely to move very much. but to figure out how you can essentially campaign in court. this san opportunity, essentially, for them to practice. is it a wide strategy to attack the judge. no it's not wise in new york. it's not wise inevitably when they do the
