the 1977 siege of washington dc. thank you so much for the hour.hahan: >> all q and day programs are available on our website or as a podcast on our c-span now mobile app. announcer: sunday on q & a a journalist and author of dinner with the president talks about how food and the culinary taste of u.s. presidents have impacted american culture, history, and to furtherhe presidential agendas. >> the new york times was so impressed that they had a big headline saying king george eats hotdogs and drinks beer and ask for seconds. there is a political motive here. this is before the u.s. entered the second world war. fdr feared hitler's and wanted to join the allies against germany, the u.s. was in an isolationist mood at that point. many americans were still annoyed with great britain for not repaying their world war i debts. but he realized that the king and queen were a unique couple, and if he could humanize them and make them appealing to the american public it might help to sway the public mood, so this was a theatrical moment orchestrated. announ

anyone in washington dc had a chance to get to know and get to know all chinese salt. what a washington do you see? do shown kinda it was to be a mistake. the 1st rule, we know of it. no dine, no dining enemy bite. the 1000 battles when the 1000 and all i can say today is that most americans just don't understand that. let me ask you about the trade cuz you mentioned trade. and one of the things that i found remarkable was the american decision to withdraw from something it had sat up. and i know it had a big impact on singapore, which was the transport, civic partnership, t p, p. and i'm interested in whether they are ongoing after effects to that to day. so as we've seen, the biden white house come out with an indo pacific strategy and in the pacific economic strategy. is anyone in our c on taking that seriously? or do you think that the rupture out of the g p p just did too much damage? and it's going to take a new t p p to come in to some met american economic engagement in the region. well, i can tell you that the 10 countries, one to engage united states of ameri

it appears in washington dc, john curry actor, a host of these wisco boys many thank you. thank you. well, let's say also cross lives now to legal and media list line or for his take on the events we've just been speaking about on the issues surrounding at lydell. welcome at to you. when it comes to coverage of this rally, will it get much? are, are the media paying attention? do they have an interest in covering it? no, no, no, none whatsoever. i was trying to find it just today is online. and it was, it was extremely difficult. no, absolutely not. it's good, a couple of things to see non violence. no, i nothing even remotely similar to what occurred on january 6. that was good. ah, it was, it was terrific to see people actually get up and do something and not just take pictures with their phones. that being said, am i in any way, ah, anticipating drastic change, not on your life. because unit we understand what's happening, i'm talking to you. many of these people are well intended, they're good or having a good time. they understand the issues. some of them are politica

there are about 50,000 foreign nationals in washington dc and as you pointed out, some of them have a visa but about half don't have a visa. they came here illegally, and i asked the ranking member jamie raskin since dc allows those in jail and prison to vote, does this mean an illegal alien in prison can vote in washington dc? he wouldn't say that they couldn't. >> tucker: so we have -- this is of special concern now not just because philosophically repulsive but tens of millions of illegal aliens or nationals and holders of foreign passports living in the united states and our elections are determined by tens or hundred of thousands of votes. if they can all vote. then we're done. like why are people outraged by this? >> i am outraged but obviously 162 democrats aren't because they voted to allow it to happen. so it's just insane really, tucker. >> tucker: i would say. this adds on many issues and thomas massey, congressman from kentucky. thanks for joining us. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: if you want to know how free your site s ask a basic question: am i allowed to make fun of th

china has been seen primarily as a threat within washington, dc for several years, within washington,within washington, dc for several years, but for most americans, they haven't felt threatened by china. china has been over the horizon, and now chinese right overhead. and so this is going to spread the bad china narrative that has been gaining more adherence not only here in the us but in canada, in the uk and europe. people are going to see this in a more personal light, and it is going to give a sense of urgency to those parts of the american government and military and congress that are determined to counter and condemn and weaken china if they can, and so i think the bigger impact is that it lends more credence to that broad accusation about the nature of the chinese government.- nature of the chinese government. nature of the chinese covernment. , , government. yes, it is quite interesting. _ government. yes, it is quite interesting, isn't _ government. yes, it is quite interesting, isn't it? - government. yes, it is quite interesting, isn't it? but- government. yes, it is quite

then ministration are tied by the fact that there seems to be an overwhelming consensus in washington dc that the united states should only be top china and not engage in any kind of win, win cooperate, as you suggested. so this is why, you know, i run something called the ation piece program. and just this week we have issued a new article saying that maybe we should ask young should. because when, when, when corporation i see on us and china and this will give a free saving, we out of the united states because united states is the ok. we're not saying yes, china when cooperation. mr. yes, all friends with our friends are not young one. we patient maybe we'll do it for them so we know us, you know, so. ready i think want to help united states to remain engaged in our region. and frankly, there are some areas like climate change, like mobile financial crisis, where frank p it is in the interests of the united states to walk with china and not the shun. all cooperation between let me ask you finally about india, about which you have written written recently and said india could be a 3rd m

so me some a scandal in washington dc. what a stir it caused it to me. what more can you tell us about just how this balloon was brought down? so as any, we've learned that according to a senior military official, it was an f 22 fighter jet that took the balloon down with one missile. and at the time the balloon was travelling at an altitude of around 60000 feet. that's around 18000 meters. in the sky and it was taken down just off the coast of north and south carolina in the u. s. territory. that is important because it means it was in us jurisdiction. and the us government actually ordered all flights to be grounded at the 3 airports near by. while this mission was taking place. air traffic has now resumed, and president biden actually gave the green light for the defense department to go ahead and bring down this balloon on wednesday. so it was military leadership that deem that the risk of taking down this balloon over land was too great because it was so high up and the threat of debris injuring people was great. so they decided to wait until the ba

we are the solution makers and washington dc now. i was a former mayor in happy valley, oregon for eight years. i sat before the group today at the roundtable, and i listen to mayors, i listen to the supervisors, and border patrol. if you could have heard their voices, they are shaking. they are not sure what to do. they have lost hope. my message to them was don't give up on your people. please don't give up on us. we are here to make a difference. fentanyl is attacking the streets of oregon. we had our largest drug bust in oregon's history in my district this past year. it would have killed 4.5 million people. that is more than the population of oregon as a whole. why am i here? not only to support my colleagues, not only to get this under control. we all ran on border security. it is our job. we will help, help is on the way. i am very proud to stand here with you today. thank you. mr. speaker, thank you for allowing us to come out here and go to every state. with that, i would like to introduce my dear friend, jen kiggans from vi

the states are going to have to take the lead to push back against this nonsense coming from washington, dc. that's why i jumped in this governor's race and that's why i'm hoping to win so i can be a part of an alliance of governors, whether sara huckabee sanders in arkansas or desans in florida or glenn youngkin in virginia to make sure we stand up for the values of our respective states but also pushing back against the nonsense coming out of washington, dc and these woke ideologies that aren't rootedd in common sense. >> laura: i'm going to get to what pentagon tweeted a few days ago but first i want to point this out. when they say equity, again, you don't count. justice thomas doesn't count. conservative african americans don't count. same thing with women or latinos. so do you agree that the, quote, equity agenda, is a fraud at the start. >> well, the equity agenda that the biden white house is putting out and that our governors and others of the far left greed to isn't compatible with the american principles and our foundation. we are an opportunity society, and we need to expand upo

this morial service that i should say lasted almost exactly 3 hours. ronald hampton is a retired washington dc metropolitan police officer and former executive director of the national black police association. he joins us now live from washington. thank you very much for being on al jazeera. what do you put this lack of progress in policing down to in the us? oh, there is no. will the change in, you know, are for me this took me back to rodney king. it took me back to georgia floor and they are quite a few in between other than some after your slow and they have no will, no will for change. and we keep expecting certain to happen. and it never happens in anatomy. so there this is, the water said mom, because of all the rest, i have to be cautiously optimistic. we, we had a vice president, kamala harris and speak about changes to federal legislation. me what meaningful change would actually make a difference to you. thank the federal legislation. this is gonna make a change. yes, there's a, there's a, there's a or our need for our national registry. desa. ah, there's a need to bay and national

jordan is live 1st in washington dc. so what, what do we know about this? well, mac khan isn't the 1st person who has been released from guantanamo bay during the byte administration. 5 other men who had been held at the military prison had been repatriated, but con has been re settled. as you noted in the central american country of billings. the country apparently approached the u. s. government as a humanitarian gesture, to help con, who said he had deep remorse for his actions in pakistan after the september 11th attacks. and was trying to make a fresh start in life. it took reportedly a year or so to negotiate the transfer from the prison at guantanamo bay to billy's . it's also worth pointing out that once a con, had pled guilty and had agreed to work with us authorities in investigating not just the 5 men on trial for allegedly planning the september 11th attacks. but for other operations that might have been carried out by l. haida. it's worth noting that once he completed his sentence for that guilty plea, he basically was in a state of limbo for a

the 24—hour channel will continue its output from its washington dc offices instead.en following the story. this was a difficult decision for iran international. the tv network said that it was acting on advice from the metropolitan police. and just to give you a bit of context, rich, in november, two british—iranian journalists were told by police that there was a possible threat to their lives. so, after that, armed police were stationed near their offices in west london. but on saturday, the network said that the threats had grown to such an extent that it felt it was no longer possible to protect its staff. in a statement, they said, "this is notjust a threat "to our tv station, but to freedom of speech "and to the british public at large." now, a senior editor for iran international spoke to the bbc a little earlier. let's have a listen. what we heard from the police was that the amount of the threats was so much that, actually, the security concerns mounted and it was not possible to maintain the security of the personnel. we know that this has not been a single

we spoke to the network's senior news editor in washington dc, niusha boghrati, earlier.ount of the threats was so much that actually, the security concerns mounted. and it was not possible to maintain the security of the personnel. we know that this has not been a single issue. this has been a continuous effort against iran international. the metropolitan police said that there have been 15 kidnappings and assassination attempts which were foiled, which probably were aimed at iran international. all this comes, i think, in line with the brutal crackdown that we have been viewing from the iranian authorities, from the security forces against the uprising, the revolution which is going on inside iran. this is not apart from what we are viewing on the ground, in the streets, in tehran and other cities around the country. you mentioned zainab kazempour before coming to iran international news. i just want to mention that these attempts are futile and useless, these are helpless, hopeless attempts, and they will lead to nowhere. as is the case with zainab kazempour, every sin

found several classified documents in biden's home in wilmington, kimberly hawk it has more from washington, dc. what i can tell you is that the f b, i did go there, they did not pick up any documents with any sort of classified markings on them. but there were some hand written notes that were taken from the president's residence there. the beach house, as it is known rehab with beach, delaware. these handwritten notes pertain to time when the president was in fact, vice president under brock obama. now it's important to note that the president, according to his attorney, was aware of the search. it was consensual, the president was cooperative. and this was part of an ongoing search of a number of locations including his private residence in wilmington, delaware, this follow sir search where there was also a turning up of documents in a think tank in washington dc which really sort of set all of this off of the think tank known as the pen biden's center, and this sort of culminated in is searched for documents that prompted the attorney general merit garlan to look into whether there has been

mike, hannah has moved from washington dc. we heard from the president biden's office saying that the talks were constructed, we heard from the speak in the coffee that the talks were constructive and from both sides as well. we heard a commitment that they will continue. what we did not hear from either side with it, there was any area of agreement between the speaker to the house and the president . and this is a critical matter. last month, the u. s. reached its debt ceiling, which means that it cannot incur any of a debt unless congress agrees to raise that debt ceiling. now, should congress not do that and fries the debt ceiling, then the u. s. spaces people to which could have lots of national and even global consequences. so president of biden, exploring ways in which you can work together with the speaker of the house. remembering that the republicans now control the house of congress. and that is the key issue for the bite and administration, but at the same time, it's making clear it does not want to make any concess

all right, our roles don't lie for stay in washington dc rose. thank you. now in east and democratic republic of congo, there's been fighting between the congolese army and m. 23 fighters near the town of sa k. some 20 kilometers west of the regional capital goma comes a day after the fight, as advanced, closer to saki, prompting thousands to free their homes, east african leaders, of course, for an immediate cease fire. malcolm web was in socket with the latest. we all me says it now fi thing with m 23. about 20 kilometers m $23.00 widely understood to be backed by neighboring one. the congress army said it's fighting rwandan soldiers . he up in the hell of everyone denies backing the group now on thursday, when him $23.00 vices of tax, very close to saw k, which is just here. thousands of people as he mentioned sled along this road. and many of those playing that we spoke to said that commonly soldiers had initially fled as well that and before reinforcements were brought in and the attack was repelled. i'm going to stand the sides that we can take a look

j. castro reports from washington dc. ukraine says it has been shooting down iranian drones, launched by russia by the hundreds in recent weeks. and what they're finding inside those drones is both troubling and surprising were than 80 percent of the drones components were made by u. s. faced companies that is, according to the u. k. based firm conflict armament research, we're talking about micro chips, engine parts, and other microelectronics made by u. s. companies, and somehow found inside the down iranian drones in ukraine. so the question is, how do they get there? that's the mystery that the white house is currently investigating. exports a. there is no evidence that u. s. companies are knowingly selling the parts to e ride. more likely it's 3rd party distributors that are to blame. now, the u. s. department of commerce is adding 7 more iranian entities to export band list. experts say some of these could be shell companies created by iran to get around previously existing sanctions. me, while iran denies it's drones, have been used in ukraine and claims that iranian drones are

for more on this, our correspondent david willis joins us now from washington, dc.to do with the this has everything to do with the so—called streaming wars. disney's disney+ subscription services face competition from rivals such as netflix, amazon and so on, and as a result of which it's had to spend a lot of money on content in order to subscribe —— attract subscribers and that has weighed heavily on the bottom line. indeed since disney plus was launched back in 2019, country's streaming services have lost around about $10 billion, so it takes a lot of visits to the magic kingdom to make up that sort of shortfall, and as a result, even though the theme parks are doing extremely well, the company has announced the plan to try and save $5.5 billion in part by cutting these 7000 jobs. understand most of these job losses will be in the division that makes films and tv series. disney will cut back on content and concentrate instead on the franchises that have proved so lucrative in the past. such as star wars, the marble superheroes and pixar animation. this does come

potential safety risk from falling danbury, a pentagon correspondent, medical haine has more from washington dc. so what they're saying is that they are tracking that's that they've taken steps to make sure that no surveillance can in fact be done. but again, the official statement is there's a balloon, we're watching it. it doesn't pose a danger to air travel or collecting of sensitive information in the pentagon. what they're telling reporters on background unnamed officials that they believe this is the chinese are what we do now is that they did close the aerospace for a bit on wednesday in billings, montana. we really, they were putting up after you raptors in the a wax those ers electronic surveillance radar up planes is attorney who spent 16 years in guantanamo bay has been released and transferred to belize, augustana magid khan. that was arrested by us forces in 2003 is the 1st 3rd country resettlement. under the administration of u. s. president joe biden. us house republicans have voted to remove democratic rep, ill, hon. oma from the chambers foreign affairs committee. the somali ba

our pentagon correspondent patty calhane, has more from washington dc. we do now have an official statement from the pentagon spokesman brigadier general pat ryder, and it's kind of interesting for what's not in it. he basically says the u. s. is in fact tracking a high altitude surveillance balloon over the united states. you didn't stress specify where he said, look, we've had these sorts of balloons in the past and over the past several years. but that it doesn't provide any sort of concern for commercial or air travel because of its altitude just so high up in the atmosphere. what's interesting is, what he doesn't say is what obviously people are, officials are telling reporters of pedagogy and background not renamed that they believe this is a chinese spy balloon. we're hearing reports that there were some talk, the possibly is up to president joe biden about taking what they call kinetic action to bring it down, but decided posed too much of a danger to people on the ground. so what they're saying is that they are tracking this, that they've taken

ah, now washington dc represents the east coast as being about 6 degrees bowman of average, a minneapolis for about 6 degrees, more or less below average. so there is still a contrast and winter certainly in the upper midwest in canada, and certainly coming in to the west, the pacific side. so was we see snow go through here to stay on the low side. and briefly you might see bit of rain in d. c. it is looking rather more wintry with a cold north wind snow down to low levels and not just washington northern california, then central california. and that system keeps going further, south kill the bulk of snow will be up in the mountains, but it's going to be a cold wind anyway. and you're going to feel, but you're back in winter was in contrast, so warm in the southeast. and then this area here will be particularly stormy. chicago may be getting some pretty nasty thunderstorms, with the breeze lightning to some degree. the rather dull or wet weather on the coast to nicaragua is easy, often spots about in panama, costa rica, rather mostly, generally fine was well she shout around the heavier

what are your legislative priorities now that you are in washington dc? they are probably the as they were in the north carolina. first and foremost for me is voting rights and particularly coming from north carolina, which i believe is a battleground state, for ensuring that, we keep that at the forefront of our priorities. i do want to continue to work on that again. also, access to affordable health care for all americans. i think health care or access to affordable health care should be a right. i think that is a human right. and i could not off fighting for women's reproductive freedom. and we all have a responsibility, our environment. so those are things that i want to continue working on, a member ofrepublican zach one one of 202 titus races to represent iowa's third congressional district and. he's now one of the nearly 80 new house members of the 118th congress. an avid

and we can speak now to the network's senior news editor in washington dc, niusha boghrati. what happened yesterday in london and why the urgency and the need to shut down so quickly?— the urgency and the need to shut down so cuickl ? ~ . ., down so quickly? well, what we heard from the police _ down so quickly? well, what we heard from the police was _ down so quickly? well, what we heard from the police was that _ down so quickly? well, what we heard from the police was that the _ down so quickly? well, what we heard from the police was that the amount l from the police was that the amount of the threats was so much that actually, the security concerns mounted. and it was not possible to maintain the security of the personnel. we know that this has not been a single issue. this has been a continuous effort against iranian nationals. the metropolitan police said that there have been 15 kidnappings and assassination attempts which were foiled, which probably were aimed at iranian nationals. all this comes, i think, in line with the brutal crackdown that we have been viewing

s. government reported to be announcing similar measures how to jo, castro reports from washington dc. no more scrolling through tick tock feeds on government issued phones. if you are a canadian government employee. prime minister justin trudeau said monday that decision to ban take talk from government devices was due to the abs. chinese ownership and to fears that the chinese government could request tick tock to collect private information. it is better to not have them access tick tock because of the concerns other people have in terms of safety. this may be a 1st step. it may be the only stuff we need to take, but every step of the way we're going to be making sure, oh, we're keeping canadians safe. waiters reports that the white house has moved to do the same, giving us government agencies 30 days to ensure that they remove tick tock from federal devices. more than a 100000000 americans currently use tick tock, which routes all of its u. s. user traffic through servers in texas, in an attempt to distance itself from its parent company and beijing, a tick tock spokesperson said
