the best vice presidential selection oh, geez. yeah, well you mentioned the worst in andrew johnson, obviously. yes, that did not work out. so well. i like truman. really. i mean true truman the quite a good president and it's really interesting how he became how he ended up as fdr's running mate in 1944 because fdr of courses first eight years, john yance garner. we just quoted was his vice president and then in 1940. he henry wallace became vice president. he was president vice president between 40 and 44. he was very liberal and by 1944 a lot of people in a democratic party. they i mean they knew roosevelt was not in good health. they didn't say no. he's gonna die a few months into his next term, but they knew he was not good health and some southerners and conservatives were not thrilled with wallace because they thought he was too liberal and they thought he was too much on the side of civil rights for blacks, and he was also pretty eccentric. you know, he's what we today called you followed a lot of new age spiritual beliefs

busy was just remove the presidential system where the presidential is the sole ruler of the state. and he does not share powers with the fall them and over the chief the chief of governments. and that's what worries the civil and the parts of the positions. the fact that we are fully going from this system, this polymer system to a return of the presidential system and a very strong official system where it is hard to find any come through power to the, to the, to the president. mama, dear, as a zayed mentioned, the 2014 constitution was passionately debated at a national level. but was there a problem with it in the way the power power was split between the president and parliament is as was allowed casey to do what he's doing in the moment. i don't think so. people were complaining about the design that we had in the 2014 constitution because of the instability that we saw, but doesn't instability of the last 6 years or, or 7 years, doesn't differ that much from us or to voluntary regimes or environment. the regimes in and in europe. i think the narrative that we're seeing today

because we're here at the roosevelt presidential library today. i want to say i want to talk now about the relationship between the hobbies and franklin and illinois roosevelt. of course, i'm skipping tremendously a lot of stuff while still governor of texas in the fall of 1920. will hobby this is governor hobby will hobby traveled all over texas campaigning for the cox roosevelt presidential ticket? and then in 1928 will was a member of the texas delegation to the democratic parties national convention in houston. where he first met and was deeply impressed with fdr. in 1932 the hobbies supported house speaker cactus, jack garner's nomination as the presidential candidate for the democratic party. but they readily they readily shifted their support to fdr and actively campaigned for the roosevelt garner ticket the editorial page of the houston post in the post was a very influential paper. they they endorsed fdr and ovita actually raised a great deal of money for the campaign in texas eleanor roosevelt who ovieda had not yet met rodeo vita a lett

presidential election was soon heard somewhere.d the end of the financial year and called his potatoes something then. there was something vacant in the press , that is, zelensky didn’t announce anything at all, he wasn’t going anywhere. everything, yes, but such arches that if vakarchuk goes, zelensky will go so easily. yes, igor kolomoisky is a ukrainian oligarch and owner of the 1 + 1 tv channel, an iconic figure in ukrainian politics, kolomoiskaya is such a demiurge. the ukrainian maidan is generally russophobic in ukraine, but uh, he has a very complex background, because he started in the dashing nineties bands privat. it was an absolutely gangster group that remained and survived only due to the fact that they knew how to share exactly with those with whom they had to share, in order to survive it was he who sponsored euromaidan stood at the origins of the creation and financed the nazi battalion, azov i think that this, in principle, very clearly characterized by his nature. this is a sadist uh bastard man for whom nothing

roosevelt liked going out, he was won one of the three presidential yachts. the florida museum in oakland, california. he loved going out on the potomac to secure his hobbies, his interests, talking to world leaders and staff. it was 41, 42, concerned about the sightings in the united states. so, staff is concerned they could not go on the yacht anymore. so, he said, finally a place where i could go to get away from the white house. this was before the helicopter squadron, he said you have to find place drivable and nearby. interestingly, because of the new deal bringing us out of depression and part of the work projects, later progress administration and part of the civilian conservation core. that put money back into the country and there was placed in thurman, maryland called the recreational demonstration area. also known as camp under three. roosevelt was given three camps nearby to visit, he went to all three and when he came to camp number three he looked at it and said, this is it. here is the first, name this is my shangri-la. the roosevelt named it

the state reception for a visiting guest but his rest that night was cut short by a message from presidential assistant walt rostow. at 3:30 am the president was awakened with the news that senator robert kennedy in the midst of victory in the california presidential primary had been shot and critically. wounded by an assassin the president's reaction to this shocking event was immediate. he ordered secret service protection for the major presidential candidates dispatched a plane with special medical assistance to los angeles and later in the day went on nationwide television to announce the appointment of a commission to study the climate of violence and extremism in america. 200 million americans did not strike down robert kennedy last night. anymore than they struck down president john f kennedy in 1963 or dr. martin luther king and april of this year. but those awful events. give us ample warning. that in a climate of extremism of disrespectful law of contempt for the rights of others violence may bring down the very best among us. and a nation that tolerates violence in any form cannot

but real political events like the presidential debates, they get 75000000 or something like that. and of course, we have an electorate of about 270000000. so out, you know, who is this, who's is actually talking to that's, that's really unclear. and i think there is a suspicion that the committee is preaching to the converted. and it's a little faster perhaps getting older bruce finds a former us associate deputy attorney general and a constitutional lawyer. he says, former vice president mike pens, needs to appear before the committee to explain donald trump's directions on january the 6th, even of a statement that trump issued that were ambiguous, in the sense that on one hand he says you should be peaceful, but we love you and your patriot is that way, but he never, ever consider doing was saying president biden won the election according to our processes never, he's won. there will be a peaceful transition. and unfortunately, you know, you have violated the law and appointed special task force that the justice department you're going to be prosecuted and go to jail and don't t

i was always interested in the name of the head of the presidential administration of the presidentialat or the presidential office for whom ukrainians cast their votes in the elections for the head of state. there is a political program of this person, i have always been interested in which political party the majority of citizens vote for in elections, and this applies both to ukraine and and any other state in this world. i am a political analyst by profession. i know exactly the names of all the heads of the administration of the president of ukraine from 2014 to 1994. if i concentrate very hard, i can list them all. i remember the names of almost all the heads of the administration of the president of russia and i think that if i strain myself very much again, i will remember who headed the presidential administration in kazakhstan or some other country, who managed the white house staff, who was an assistant to the president of the united states of the state for national security or the secretary of state, but i constantly remind citizens that they trust an absolutely specific pe

the 2011, our offspring was inspired by the need to put an end to high per presidential system where the very few decide the fate of the majority. but don't you see that what is happening right now is the exactly the very opposite of what people fought for. well, to go back to the 2011 uprising. there were several calls that were taking place at the time. amongst others, the call for social justice is to remember that what the underlying factors that led to the ard spring in the 1st place were mainly suzy comic factors. and people understood either intuitively or explicitly that it was the system of government that was preventing the realization of social or social justice. but if the source economic conditions back and that at that time, at the end of 2010 were propitious, were positive, then the uprisings would probably not have taken place, or at least not taking place in the same. busy form or in the same in science. so intuitively or explicitly people asked for an amendment or change a major. ready change to the constitutional systems that existed in prior to 2010 and brought th

that had been surrounding the presidential secretaries bully site had no terms. the former top political advisors, donald trump, has been convicted of contempt. steve bannon refused to comply with the congressional order to testify about the capital insurrection. rosalind jordan now reports from washington dc. steve bannon was the man who whispered in president donald trump's ear and they both believed that gave ban on the right to ignore call to testify before the january 6th committee. on friday, a federal jury needed fewer than 3 hours to decide that by doing so. ben and broke the law in the closing argument. the prosecutor missed one's very important phrase . right. i stand with tromp and the constitution and i will never back off that ever. the january 6th committee had wanted to know just how much band and knew about trump's plans to disrupt the certification of the 2020 presidential election and staying in office. as a result, it wasn't asking for information about the attack on the capital itself. even so, said bannon not only refused to testify. he also

tapes that are the equivalent of presidential conversations. in my judgement, there certainly is no law that suggests that president or the former president trump would have a privilege not to appear before this committee are present, for it appeared before when he was incumbent the house judiciary committee to testify about his pardon of richard nixon. and you will need and when you're going at a former president, you need greater cloud greater grab a toss. and the greatest omission in my judgement of this committee is the failure to subpoena and demand. the testimony as mr. trump. mr. pants and also kevin mccarthy, members of congress don't have a privilege not to cooperate. there's no speech or debate cause present because it's congress themselves that are demanding the testimony a wise and kevin mccarthy. they're to testify. we heard all sorts of snippets. we need to be on a growth and cross examined him. what did you mean about this? what was the tone of voice of the former president, mr. trump? and the reason why i'm saying this is that k
