that to me is one of the most timely as it documents i have ever read. i want to call your attention to one little part of that book. king wrote in that book, that we in this generation and so the good people when we see injustice, we do what's necessary to preserve this country. we have been an example to the world and we cannot allow any misfits to destroy that mantra that we have developed over the years. so thank you so much mr. mayor. to allow me too be here today i'm not disrespecting him. >> thank you certify could add a one thing if i could add for the students. in doctor king's letter from a birmingham jail, he was in jail he was not given any paper to write on. so he wrote that most amazing letter in the margins and the edges of the newspapers he was collecting the message is so powerful, the knowledge of that courageous industrious did truth can act it's really. thank you very much congressman. >> thank you break. >> thank all of you for being here today. >> the jenny glisten the lessons and histories on the go stream it as a podcast anywhere a

they were in new york at the time during world war ii. my father's little bit older when i was born. so basically, after the atomic bomb went off they know exactly what was going on. very secretive. so that is really the major thing with the family. so, after that in high school, in california because we moved to california, we basically -- i basically did jrotc. got a scholarship to go to new mexico military institute. that is how might military career first started off it. >> how did you become interested in the rotc? >> i always liked it. i always saw with their uniforms. i thought let's try it, what see what comes about. so i just loved it and that is how i started in the military. >> any memorable explains at the academy? >> it is a two-year school where you can actually get an appointment to west point as well. so during that time, i was getting geared up to go to west point. unfortunately we only had to go to advanced camp, i ruined my right knee. that got me out of contention. so that military school basically said you can stay her

"time" magazine has been around for what 100 years and 52 weeks a year. there've been 5200 people have had their picture on the cover of "time" magazine and i'm one of them. i'm on the cover -- cover because i'm telling story and julianne man i dashed giuliani and i were being pushed out the door death by a thousand cuts so that was my swan song. he eventually made the cover or couple times but i was there first. >> host: god bless you. >> guest: did not look great in my trenchcoat under the brick and bridge? >> host: you did a great photo. you are out of the business and i've gone through that. hee hee you feel like you have more in you to give and get you on the sidelines. all kinds of things are happening that you get another opportunity in los angeles lapd. i mean the third-la

congress has raised the debt limit 79 times. 30 times with democrats in the white house and 49 times under a republican president. and and did so without drama. today's action should be no different. i urge my colleagues to continue paying our bills. i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from virginia reserves. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. brady: i yield myself such time as i may consume. in 2018 nancy pelosi, leader whip hoyer voted to default on the debt, shut down the government and refused to give relief to communities. republicans controlled the senate, house and the white house, responsibility rests on their shoulders. democrats control the house and senate and the white house and responsibility rests on their shoulders. democrats have known this day been coming for two years and did nothing. they passed no budget or appropriations bills and didn't spend a moment in bipartisan outreach to address the debt ceiling. we shouldn't ignore the future financial crisis and passed $5 trillion socialist plan. despite to shift plame, democr

the single time the most world leaders have been in camp at any one time. the incident want to go back to his 1961. april 1961. president kennedy inaugurated in january succeeding president eisenhower. bad things are being planned by the scenes with the cia, u.s. government and others passed off to the administration you see the photo of the top right of pulitzer prize winning photo called serious steps. what's interesting about this i think from a human and political point is that president kennedy inherited the operation. it was launched, and did not go well hence the name. riches across the political and personal i'll and invites president eisenhower to come to camp david and help them understand how to get to this how do i fix this mess, what do i do? it's a very poignant and significant moment i think part of the new upstart democrat inviting the old guard five-star general to talk about what to do. i think it's a very humble may be possibly desperate measure. very humble way to recognize leadership and what passes between administrations and talk about

pamela is the long-time editor f "the new york times" book review. your book. it is a reminder of what life used to be like before the internet before we constantly lived in a very rapid motion that i think is causing us a little bit of emotional whiplash so it's a rewind and saying remember all these things we used to do before we were online all the time and we used to get places and meet people and what it was to know someone as opposed to follow someone so it's a kind of look back at the cataloging of all those things. >> what are some of those things that we miss? >> i think it's different for everyone. some of the things i achingly miss our paper i miss lots of things like local newspapers that happen to be really important. you get maybe two or three or four when you used to get maybe 30 or 40 because all those papers use to have these book critics and editors and no longer do. i imagined some of the audience will feel the same aches and pains. i miss the ability to be at one place at one time without feeling there was a horde of people sending me notific

in his also the case that first 18, during this time, when that local man, that was the first time they experience an event like that, counted and no matter how the commander are, and there are details in the crossfire inevitably. and he put up with them for so long, and they write it off for so long. they really got fed up. so whether the american efforts, i think the answer would have to be if there was a way for them to disperse those threats quickly perhaps but if they were alreadyy at the noise going be a long long involvement to very slowly yet, then, yes, i would say probably they were doomed. >> also, will request while we wait for more people to post questions and one of the things i things very malleable about your book is you begin with which is now some 20 years almost ago, there's a lot of discussion to the forever war and also i wanted to say the u.s. would say some things, the disruption of the crop yet what happens and what's particular about is the new yorkers because there's a narrow objective in some ways, to catch been lauded and can you talk about the even then seem

. >> and just think for example, i was teaching at the time and we had the cuban crisis when the russians place the missile and i was standing in my classroom. what what i say to the students so let's talk about this and we saw the newspapers in the video about these missiles were down to cuba not far from charleston where they lived and what i did, i said now here is what is happening. let's go over chapter 22, the chapter on cuba and let's talk about the background and for that and that's the way that i talk. it was a pretty big success and as you know i still hold onto this and many of the students until this day. that is the kind of thing that i didn't get. when i was a student, history teacher would tell us for a test, will we have a ten question test here and what is the date that this happened and was the moment when they discovered america in this that and the other night hated that and so when i started to teach, one of my first days in the classroom, would tell my students to for the papers right down two things, number one, adn number two, 1066, a.d., those are the only two yea

for the end times again, 2000 years of the use and misuse of biblical prophecy? the new book by martin whitlock, who joins me now for both in england. thank you so much, martin for coming back on. you know, we have a new german chancellor, earl of schultz, a huge influence on the european union. there you better begin like you begin in the book about dissuading us of the you. parliament is not modeled on the tower of babel and there is no missing seat 666 dead all or it's deliberately kept empty in the european parliament in strasburg. yes, i can. i can reassure you about that. i was quite astonished in 2016 when i was part of organizing a meeting at west country time and looking at the arguments for the gates membership of the you. and we got in the and some extraordinary debates about people make accusations about it was much christian churches. i don't see many people that talked about economics and, and the politics of it. and so i've got some people that were, were very impressed and about the fact that the european union, they thought represented a new form

the timing is a coincidence. any stones unturned and we're making sure that this refurbishment is one of the most comprehensive that this building will get. tyrell is in charge of the work. it's the biggest project of his career. it has been degraded to such a point that standing on the ground, you could not see it. we have a severe termite infestation, some water damage. the very bones of this building affect the way the whole main chamber is laid out. so we are in the house of assembly right now, which is the lower house. right now, obviously everything is gone. but the prime minister would sit on this side of the aisle and the opposition would sit on the other side. the speaker usually sits directly in the middle, and this is where all the great debates and stuff like that happens. almost identical, really, to the uk parliament, in the way that it is set up. it's really incredible, walking around and seeing so many parts of the building that still look and feel british, given the republic and this restoration

at the time the war which is coming to an end. two years previously charles the first had been executed by followers of oliver cromwell, puritan, in the parliamentarian forces. and so they were absolutely supporters of puritans and cromwell. yet we see penelope here and she is dressed very similarly to the wife and of the daughter of king charles i. the first. so on the left is queen henrietta maria and receive the fabric she's wearing. also francis mary stuart on the right of penelope, penelope's gold necklace, her hairstyle are very similar to mary stuart. so she's clearly aligning herself here with the utmost upper ashlar of society. these portraits were shipped back to the colonies with a winslow's homes were and they were obtained by the family for generations until the late 1800s when it was donated to the museum. you may be familiar with the museum. it has preeminent collection of pilgrim possessions.

and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentlewoman from wyoming is recognized. ms. cheney: thank you very much, madam speaker. madam speaker, as chairman thompson noted, we are here with great sadness, we are here recognizing and understanding the serious nature of the situation and, madam speaker, we wish we had another alternative. we wish that we did not have to meet today to urge our colleagues to vote criminal contempt for one of our former colleagues and the former chief of staff to president trump. we don't take this step lightly. as my colleagues have noted and will no doubt say again today, for weeks the committee has worked with mr. meadows, with his counsel, to reach an agreement on cooperation, to reach an agreement and accommodation. now, the reality, madam speaker, is the accommodations process is a process that takes place between the legislative branch and the executive branch. mr. meadows is a member of neither. and yet the committ

by the time the mueller investigation was completed and they gain control of the house which is the time the mueller investigation. this was not the same robert mueller. he had put around him partisan people that attended the day, many of us knew and the collusion was not there are really democrats couldn't take a right for me that is the concerning part. even to this day, one things that we talk about, this is the fisa court, secret court and what is supposed to be. they were using and manipulating the data for political narrative, that is not what we're about. >> during the mueller investigation, there was information that came out. i'm not gonna suggest it was leaks from within the investigation. anytime you serve a subpoena someone's going to talk about the nature of the subpoena. there is a lot of sources of information that could've given the information to the news organization will. it seemed to me there was a few members of congress, adam schiff, swalwell from california and others. they made outrageous statements. i think congressman swalwell said something about, i know there'

but that was the first time i had met him. you have any advice about healing from betrayal trauma quick. >> lt the best advice i can give is what works for me. you have to take the time to field. i did not allow myself to only feel bitterness. is compartmentalized. and then i forgive myself. it took time. host: howdy you navigate raising a mixed race child impose trump america? >> and it is a blessing in some ways. and then how we navigated but then how we think about and then the hate mail that i actually received i do think about it. i just do the best i can to protect my son that's why there's no pictures of him in the book. host: how hard was it to let go of the unfairness and not be better? >> as you read the book and the only person with my best self and best mother i can be. but i have to let go. and to understand. i can learn the truth. >> what were the books you loved most going up? >> i love memoirs. and that i want to get through. i opens the book by saying i'm surrounded by stories but i love the a jane austen nove

that's the great wish of our time. and the answer that comes from all corners of life is mindfulness. the here and now can be learned. for example, through zen meditation. deering, as a shin, a person suffering from this time sickness, learns to sit to be silent to b as it, yes to minute been. ah, switches, arden of the 1st time and i went on a session, was to get some peace and i came down to my 3 children weren't sleeping and i was very tense. i just done after keesa within 5 minutes of sitting down on the cushion ocean. everything that i had swept under the rug over the years came out of it does come for 2001. it was so scary that was so horrifying that said i just cried for 3 days. i was afraid to sit there again to see, to see the things i hadn't actually dealt with in my life and what i had just pushed away. and then i came home and said, i'm never going there again. me reading with saying the way is the goal. but before that comes getting back, that journey takes you from lake loosen up mount rekey. there shielde

no, - tell anyone at the time? no, because it — tell anyone at the time?a big - tell anyone at the time? jjfr, because it was a big director and i didn't...— and i didn't... and he would never name _ and i didn't... and he would never name names? - and i didn't... and he would never name names? no, i and i didn't. .. and he would - never name names? no, maybe that is the — never name names? no, maybe that is the legal _ never name names? no, maybe that is the legal side _ never name names? no, maybe that is the legal side of - never name names? no, maybe that is the legal side of me - that is the legal side of me that is the legal side of me that you don't, i don't want to go to any unnecessary court cases or whatever. and, yeah, i just... yeah, just got on with thejob and did it and luckily, nothing else happened, apart from that one night. and then many years later, as i'm in hollywood and you know, pretty, pretty famous, the pitch perfect movies are coming out and stuff and had a male co—star was onset summons me, kind of out of my trailer, in the middl

by the time i left, i was 50. so, yeah, i was the old one. >> tell me how you got over to afghanistan and what that trip was like for you. >> well, before that, we had a lot of training, prior to that, had to. the first training was basically war training over at ft. mccoy. it's called rtc. and we were, let's say, embedded with combat engineers and we had to do tactical situations. it's the what-if situations. so we were there about six weeks. and i learned a lot. luckily, with the civil affairs, with the operational and tactical side, i had a leg up a little bit more than some of my unit members. so i helped out there. and then after the six weeks, had a week off. then we went to florida and we went to ryder trauma center which is basically a trauma center, period, there in miami, florida. and this is where we got our first taste of real trauma. so my operating room guys never really saw trauma until we got there. and i said, this is what it looks like, plus more, out there, i believe. so we were there for two wee

this is the first time this has been done before. u to richard carpenter, who has opened up his vaults to share with us some of the greatest performances of the carpenters at christmas time. denise: carpenters christmas memories, oh, you can't wait to hear this. tj: it takes you back with such warmth, and what a great tradition, when you think of trimming the tree with family and loved ones and growing up hearing the music of karen carpenter on the radio, and of course e duo together,

by the time he enters parliament's, he is a celebrated figure. and that gives him a certain degree of the self-confidence. and then of course, he recognized it himself is capacity for oratory. and for great which which was something that was to see him through even in the darkest times. and he wrote an article in 1897 in which he said the power was a greater even though they disagree with you. and that was essentially a few years later what happened he was warning against them. >> host: is at the scaffolding of rhetoric? >> guest: yes that's right. it's a fastening and brilliant he wrote it when he was white, 24 years old? and he had never given a public speech in his life. it's very rare. usually people give speeches and then the theorize about rhetoric. what he did was theorize first think of the speeches after words. see when we have an interesting question here. it asked if you would also talk about churchill's relationship with other brilliant contemporaries like roosevelt, king? >> guest: yes, he was overall very good with other great, great

right and one of the few studio shots have truman it during that timeframe and you know, most of the time he ends up looking pretty goofy with the glasses and he has is helmet and this is a good studio shot and interestingly enough, if you notice on the scholarly has the mystery, when he was in the missouri area and here, he is a lieutenant and is not actually been a mustard it into federal service at that particular time and at this time. and also if you look down at the bottom of the card on the left, you will see the dimensions that is already served six years in battery, the missouri national guard. and really most people have no clue at all about that or that for example after the war and a brief period, there was no direct association with the army attic he went back and and most officers especially if they had much of a rank it, would regress back to their pre- war ranks. he was thought of at the time, not well-known, as a hot property in the running back and as a major while people like patton, and george marshall and so forth, were getting it brought back in rank in the running b

i wear heels all the time. i always wear heels all the time. i never wore heels during that time. you were running between committee meetings, hearings, markups, the house floor -- it was insane. there's a funny "saturday night live" clip with chris farley being newt gingrich where they were like, family medical leave, passed -- and again, with all the excitement that comes with being in the majority and the optimism and enthusiasm that came with that, but just think about ten major pieces of legislation happening in 100 days. it was crazy. crazy. >> and what role did women republican members play during that period besides you in leadership? >> well, i think women on committees, certainly being spokespeople. there was never ever an issue of if there was a press conference to be held that women needed to be there and women needed to be spokespeople, and if women felt particularly strong about that, we were just going to get that woman up there. i don't mean to make this sound like it was all so great and easy, but you did not wait your turn because you were a female, right? they wa

i had susan at the time. i was able to organize where the general said command and ask questions about what was going on. and i think it was that the sort of allowed to stand each other up and going to challenge the way things would be done it is so, yes, i learned from them. she was great and tough and smart but i think we all kind of stood each other up. and this is not just for us. no like you have a baby girl. [laughter] i so determined to change this world for her. >> to think it was for you and have a separate space in the capitol pretty. >> other was really important. it was nice to just have those areas when you had a headache or you wanted to do something or maybe when you wanted to speak out and have a public discussion about a decision you had made. anyone with that sacred space. i think it is helpful pretty. >> were there other places that you would go to be people some of them informally pretty. >> every once in a while but have groups, probably very much bipartisan but we would go out to dinner a

he's not a jolly guy cracking jokes the whole time. he has the lawyer's background, as a former head of criminal prosecutions, and it's played quite well for him to be able to forensically take apart some of these things. so i think that's why it's dangerous that if suddenly people are seeing the reality of borisjohnson, the tory party is panicking because they've made a faustian pact to get through brexit, to win an election with someone that most of them knew was not suited to the top job. then along came the pandemic, exposing how he was not suited for the topjob, and now i think... i mean, i've spoken to tory mps who are extraordinarily concerned, and some believe and some hope that borisjohnson will be replaced pretty shortly after christmas. thank you all very much. let's move on. on friday germany's chancellor, olaf scholz, travelled to paris and brussels, in part to discuss the seven—year—long standoff with moscow over ukraine. presidentjoe biden spoke to the leaders in germany, france, italy and the uk this week before his two

fortunately, this area was not short on land at the time. this is what the north carolina piedmont looks like per duke forest today. so they bought 5,000 acres of land. this is like a mile west of the women's college which we just saw. i think romantically, the duke community has sort of thought about this as this virgin forest that they come in and carve this university out of. the reality is the land was a lot of abandoned farms, a lot of successal woodlands so you weren't cutting down the forest to put in a university. the land actually looked like this. you see the city encroaching from the north, and you can see the football field being laid out. this is during construction. there's the cross axis. so when i was looking at this the first time i was thinking about the -- you know, you have the topography, you have the trees, you have a very specific image of what the piedmont landscape is. you think about what's driving the design, and i think we have talked about that earlier today. it's like does a designer come in here and say this is

now is the time. the data, the potential we have to follow it up and soo see how much of this plays out in other scenarios in other countries. but the fact that they are seeing infections in people previously infected, seeing reinfections, goes to show in a set of omicron there might be a signal if you have gotten an infection in the past now is the time to get the vaccine and get boosted here. >> dr. colfax. dr. bhdelia, appreciate you bowing providing expertise on what we are dealing with right now. >>> we are expecting to hear from the president. he will be speaking he national institute of health on plans to fight the omicron variant later this hour. we will bring you those remarks life when they happen. up next congressional republicans appear to move full steam ahead towards threatening a government shutdown tomorrow in protects of the vaccine mandates. yet another sign of the extreme dysfunction in this u.s. congress. you're watching meet the press daily. congress you're watching meet the press

this is the first time i heard of that. when you look at the old drawings, you see that they had tried to this -- tried to save these trees and you get it. you get the sense of bringing the forest into the quadrangle. but you also look at the construction site. i'm sure plenty of the landscape architects in this room have seen construction sites like this where this is their attempt at saving the trees. you know, valiant effort, a-plus for effort. but, you know, just knot -- just not very realistic. and this is important to me because -- not because of the six or seven trees but because this to me is part of the ethic of the university. so for me as a contemporary practitioner at duke, i can say, you know, this is part of the dna. this is what we're about. it's not a tree for the sake of a tree, it's really about, you know, the goals of the university going back to james duke. i will say that with this type of information, i get a lot more leverage within administrators to say something goes back to the james duke legacy tha

the first time i read that, i said what, this is the first time i had ever heard of that. sure enough, when you look at these old drawings, you see that they had tried to save these trees, and you really get it. you get the sense of bringing the forest into the quadrangle. but, you also look at the construction, and i'm sure plenty of landscape architects have seen construction sites like this, where this is their attempt at saving the trees, and valiant effort. b plus for effort, but it is just not very realistic. this is important to me, not because of the six or seven trees, but because this to me as part of the ethics of the university. for me, as a contemporary practitioner at duke, i can say, this is part of the dna. this is what we are about. it's not a tree for the sake of a tree. it's about the goals of the university going back to james duke. i will say that with this type of information i get a lot more leverage within administrators, to say that something goes back to the james duke legacy, then it goes back to the olmsted legacy. that's unfortunate but i think
