process. he's active then his authority wishes judge of do the same. shannon: another week another round of judicial whiplash for the same but they think the president sweeping tariffs in limbo. commerce secretary howard lutnick joins us on the strategy to fight the trade or in the courtroom. >> and big lexi blockbuster agreement that will ensure the story of american companies stays in america company. shannon: all this the present seals the deal the critical merger between giants of the steel industry pennsylvania senator david mccormick and joins us exclusively at what it all means for the president's economic agenda and the keystone state. then. >> harbert has to understand the last thing i want to do is hurt them for they are hurting themselves. shannon: escalating eagle legal battle between the white house in one of america's mustard prestigious colleges coming as a state department ramps up efforts to crack down on chinese student visas. massive juices congressman jake auchincloss a harvard alum drive

joins us live in boston. >> still have a loss. we returned home and we lead men and women in modern wires. what's when veteran create a one-of-a-kind experience to share his and his veteran's stories of life after combat. all right now on "fox news sunday." ♪. shannon: love from foxnews in boston. we are live and said the only full-size replica of the u.s. senate and the edward m kennedy institute for the united states senate. we are here ahead of the sixth installment of the senate's installment. the joint partnership with the kennedy institute and the ore and hash foundation with the goal to foster bipartisan dialogue especially important pursuit in these divided times. the inspiration is a bipartisan bridge building done in the senate by democrat ted kennedy and republican orrin hatch. they formed an unlikely friendship that transcended their partisan differences.

listen to the late senator hatch explain. quick sleep fought each other tooth and tongue all of these years. we found that we can find common ground. whenever we found common ground he would stand up even against his and live up to the deal. he gave his word, he kept his word. i'm not meant a lot to me. shannon: that is what will seek to do here again tomorrow and a discussion with pennsylvanian senators went democrat the other republic on the battleground is one of only three states with a split delegation. in a moment i will speak with one of those centers republican dave mccormick out of our conversation tomorrow democrat john fetterman. but first return to fox news correspondent madeleine rivera with the week of ups and downs for the white house. >> many of president trump's tariffs are hanging in the balance as they face legal challenges. he is a doubling down on steel and aluminum.

quick steelworkers are very happy we had that tariffs help make them more competitive it. >> president trump is increasing the tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from 25 -- 50% he is imposing despite the bloat for iblowfor international tradh found many of his other levies unlawful. >> the problem with trump's approach is sweeping tariffs is not constitutional. an appeals court because the panel which ruled the president overstepped his authority but imposing country specific tariffs like those on china canada and mexico. the duties on steel and aluminum fall under a different authority. the administration is moving ahead just like trade continuation for protectors non b is plan a. plan a a encompasses all stratec options and when we move forward we have a full view of what the battlefield looks like very. >> republicans are preparing for their own set of challenges on capitol hill where the senate

gop most work there it's a differences to pass the president so called one big beautiful bill. cooks the issue of the senate will be as i mentioned earlier, it doesn't have sufficient spending reforms to get us on a more sustainable fiscal path? hamas and israel have yet to reach a compromise. that u.s. is rejecting hamas' response to a cease-fire proposal special envoy at stevee witkoff client totally unacceptable only take this a backward but the s framework is the only way to close a cease-fire deal in the coming days. >> meantime the president's patients with russian president vladimir putin appears to be running thin. during a visit to ukraine republican senator lindsey graham said the sun is ready to move ahead with a bipartisan bill to imports more sanctions on russia but the president despite his more heated rhetoric is hesitant. >> and close to getting a deal do not want to scoot screwed up by doing that park at ukraine and russia are expected hold direct talks tomorrow.

>> madeleine rivera at the white house thank you very much joining us now dave mccormick member of the foreign relations committee. the center, you are just back from israel up meeting with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. we want to hear what we heard from a special envoy steve witkoff signed a response from hamas, the deal the tables on acceptable and only moves us backwards. you have any sense of how we get to a deal get hostages home? >> listen we just came back had the opportunity to be with prime minister netanyahu as well as the opposition everyone is unified that we need to get those hostages out in the framework wycoff put forward on behalf of the president seemed to be a path for doing that. and hamas which has been an absolute source of pure evil since october 7 appears to have refused to do that. listen, we've got to keep the pressure on hamas.

we've got to find ways with we met with the humanitarian foundation which is trying to get food in the hands of the women and children it's been hijacked by hamas there's a number of things we need to keep the pressure on hamas. there cannot be a military body standing on this work is done. >> you mention the aid issue that is become very difficult and complex there were reports overnight at least 31 people were killed, and dozens of others as they were trying to add to food aid in the gaza strip for the associate press said witnesses are blaming israeli forces for the israeli military says they don't know of any injuries they because it is under review now but what is your sense i'm getting our arms around what is a enormous management crisis there? we can resolve the crisis would end immediately if hamas give

the hostages back. but what has happened over time humanitarian aid has been used as a source of manipulation by hamas. it's been used to sell humanitarian aid to raise money for the fighters. with that g in gaza humanitarian foundation is trying to do is get food directly in the hands of families that come and get a 40-pound box which they take it last for five days with water and food and that's the key to get into the hands of the people this model has a lot of promise but with got a lot of work to do i do not know about these reports in the last 24 hours. but the concept to me it was necessary to make sure aid is going to people who need it. shannon: t i know their conversations about israel and the u.s. are communications about whether they are considering a strike with and ironic. we are also getting news of this report by the watchdog's and their further increasing stockpiling uranium iran is to enrich weapons grade material to

be sent and deal the white house has confirmed over too iran for potential new deal. where do you see that going? >> this is an area where i think there's a lot of agreement. president trump is said very clearly the nuclear program and i iran has to be dismantled there cannot be any enrichment. that's the guidance he has given. and israel crossed the continuum everybody agrees not be ironic with a nuclear weapon and nuclear capability and here's the bottom line. this is a country that says its goal is to destroy israel and to destroy america, the great stay tuned. this is a country that is orchestrated attempts on president trump's life for they cannot have a nuclear weapon we should treat any agreement with iran with a great deal of skepticism. i am hopeful these negotiations will ultimately result in a full dismantlement of the nuclear program if that happens i'll be a great step forward.

that's the necessary step it cannot be anything less than that. shannon: we noted last week the ayatollah thanks he talks will help we have to see what he's hoping for their part in the meantime we have talks going north russia and ukraine the president seems increasingly frustrated with vladimir putin. we know ukraine is saying russia has launched the biggest number of drones it has in its entire warfare they have done it today. the president has said recent days about putin, something has happened to him quote he's gone absolute crazy. as putin the same person he has always been but president trump is just now seeing him for who he is? >> listen president trump came into this with a very clear i about who he's dealing with on both sides he laid out a vision which is we have to have a cease-fire we have to stop the killing. we have to give ukraine protection on its sovereignty

and to do that is to have the europeans stand up and play the role they need to play. an economic arrangement both help pay for the support the united state is given to ukraine but also create alignment of economic interests. this is a great framework. the president has made progress on making that the sort of discussion but now putin needs to do his part he was the source of aggression against ukraine. there is a path here but both sides need to get in and i think the president's been very clear about his feelings on this. we need to put additional pressure on putin there's a bill in the senate by lindsey graham to do just that. i think that's going to be a great source of support for the president's agenda. >> he and senator blumenthal were just on a trip senator graham said he doesn't think putin wants peace that he wants continued war but we will see as you guys to work through the sanctions package as well. i want to ask about tariffs a couple tariffs on hold that decision went through in

appellate courts of the tariffs remain in place for now. but critics of what is happening or the international courts that essentially this is the purview of congress and it's not to the executive branch a lot of gop lawmakers have simply been ceding the legislative branch power to the executive branch the "new york times" writing the republican-led congress is not just watching the trump administration gavel up its constitutional powers it is enthusiastically turning them over to the white house. what about long-term implications for ceding some of the authority that's granted she was a lawmaker? >> i voted in support of this the president is exercising his emergency authorities appropriately we have an emergency we lost 100,000 people after two fentanyl it's twice s many as we lost in vietnam we have a trade deficit beyond our wildest huge supply chain challenges semi conductors

pharmaceuticals this is an emergency the present is exercising his authority appropriately we see this across a number of different things and i want to point to one which is so important which is a steel here is something hope are going to talk about which is a partnership between nippon and u.s. steel it's an incredible step forward for steelworkers $14000 with indiana and alabama, arkansas and minnesota. and not only protects 10,000 jobs outside of pittsburgh but adds 14000 new jobs building a new arc furnace. this is a huge thing for our domestic steel industry that's greatly aided by the tariffs of president trump is put in place to make sure we have fair trade. it's also great for our national security to have a strong

domestic industry. president trump i briefed him on or talk to him about the deal months ago when he came to philadelphia to see ncaa wrestling championships he pushed and prodded and wanted a better deal. he wanted to make short u.s. cap control here we have a situation of u.s. steel based in pittsburgh u.s. management team a majority u.s. board and government approval of key board members that protects america interest great for the steelworkers you can see them on the rally cheering on president trump and great for nippon they get access to the great u.s. market. >> one and united steelworkers uniunions has some questions and some reservations about that we'll see how it plays out as a details are flushed out. senator look for to seeing here tomorrow. >> all you had to do was seat that street of those steelworkers cheering and i think we know this is a great thing for that working people of pennsylvania in the country. thanks for having me. shannon: i hope we will talk more about that tomorrow but will see it then.

by the way he can watch the senate project conversation tomorrow with senators mccormick and fetterman life on fox nation from here in boston tomorrow. president trump hoping his tariff plan will finding them illegal that battle is far from over up next you will hear from commerce secretary howard lutnick to hear what comes next. formerly it leaves the white house and an oval office sendoff. where to turn to go from here? the panel is on that, next as a fox news ascetic reports live from the edward kennedy from the edward kennedy institute in boston. er: but there's a... carl's way is the best way. client: is it? at schwab, how i choose to invest is up to me. driver: exactly! i can invest and trade on my own... client: yes, and let them manage some investments for me too. let's move on, shall we? no can do. client: i'll get out here. where are you going?? schwab.

confession: i moved here because xfinity wifi is booming... and i suspect you moved here for the wifi... ...and if you moved here for the wifi... ...where's everyone gonna live? yvette... boomtown summit! complete with the most reliable wifi from xfinity! i don't need to move. but now i'm going to. it's that easy. wherever you want to move, xfinity makes it super easy. unpack the most reliable wifi with our best equipment. and get set up in a snap with just a few taps in the xfinity app. the wifi is booming. shannon: we a heard the edward m kennedy institute were is going

to show us from this exact replica of senator ted kennedy's office. we have special items here. >> the office has memorabilia from decades. there are some notable pieces this one is quite funny. this is a book that robert kennedy gave to his brother. that's what i have learned about new york politics. the only unusual aspect is that it is completely blank. shannon: there are lessons still to be learned. we have a special boston here as well with its own message. >> yes the brothers were very, very close. this was a bust after robert was assassinated. that has a notch in the base which is symbolic of the fact robert kennedy's life's work was incomplete. shannon: these are couple treasures here at the institute that people can come and enjoy for themselves. >> correct. shannon: just to look up a couple of the many pieces of history and that replica office, now back to the uncertain future

president trump's avastin tariffs and what's next after a flurry of court rulings big turning meat now howard lutnick. welcome back to the show. >> rate to be back. shannon: who want to start here with the court of international trade but this is a decision went against the president days ago they said because of the constitution's express allocation of the tariff power to congress unlimited delegation of tariff authority to the president would constitute improper legislative power to another branch of government. just a boil that down they said he cannot do it. that decision is on hold for now what is the backup plan? >> think about how silly that is. so congress gives the president, under this authority the ability to take on other countries who are creating a national emergency. the 1.2 trillion dollars trade deficit at all the underlying implications of that is a national emergency is in guiding

our manufacturing base the president takes that on and congress let's him do it. specifically does not vote to take it away. because of votes as he can keep it so what is going to happen we are going to take that up to higher courts the president is going to win like he always does. but rest assured tariffs are not going away. he has so many other authorities that even in the weird and unusual circumstance where this was taken away, we just bring on another or another or another. congress has given this authority to the president and he's going to use it. >> you know these two federal courts have so far it said that use of that in the emergency power is not proper is on appeal we will see what potential of the supreme court has to say about it. but in the meantime it sparks a question about whether, if other countries thanks our court system is going to potentially shutdown these more b bigger sweeping tariffs. you are losing some kind of advantage. reuters quotes and eu officials

the uncertainty as to do the galaxy of the reciprocal tariff certainly gives us, meeting them, extra leverage. here's how jonathan turley puts it. >> trump has been saying, using these tariffs like a gun to the head of these other countries. the court just remove the bullets. shannon: if you lost leverage and where m miller talks with te eu? >> the president said he was going to put a 50% tariff on the eee you. and as i said not only does he have this authority but he hasn't many, many other authorities. the european union sent in after this their first offer they are at the table but they are negotiating. you can't listen to silly people making silly comments. all of the countries that are negotiating with us understand the power of donald trump and his ability to protect the american worker. but they are doing is negotiating with us. i think it cost us a week maybe cost us a week but then

everybody came right back to the table. everybody is talking to us. you'll see of the next couple of weeks first class deals for the american worker opening their markets and sitting on tariffs to see we are treated fairly around the world. shannon: and you and secretary bassett are talking to a lot of these countries try to get the deals across the finish line he said talks with china are stalled. what is the latest? >> the thing what happened is secretary bassett and ambassador greer went to geneva. they made a deal with the chinese and the right way to say it is they are slow rolling the deal. i think slow rolling is the right way to say it i think donald trump is on ed honest bue are taking certain actions to show that what looks like on the other side of the equation. my view is donald trump and president xi our president understands what to do. he's going to go work it out i am confident this is going to work out either way.

the president understands the power of our economy. he said it over and over again we are the consumer of the world. we are the consumer of chinese goods if we do not open her markets to them, their economy isn't really, really tough shape so i love having all the power and the president's anc knows how to wield it correctly for the benefit of the american worker. shannon: quickly because it got to go the 90 day pause on the major terraces due to expire at the beginning of july you've got a lot of deals to get done with that willthe president extend t? >> i think we're going to get a lot a lot of deals done. they're all being set up we could sign lots of deals and now what were trying to make them better and better and better as the president said or he will just set rates and set the terms of the deal. i don't see today in extension is coming in fact i think that is the deadline and the president is just going to determine what rates of people have but they cannot get a deal

done president trump is going to determine what dealers going to be. talks okay, secretary great to see you. thank you for your time. >> is great to be here. >> it is time now for our sunday group. meridith mcgraw white house reported fox news contributor guy benson also maria hearth. legal commentator horace cooper sherman of project 21. welcome to all of you from boston. let's start with this. there's a lot of unknown about the economy at this point the tariffs, how was going to settle out. business daily had some good news for the white house they are celebrating this weekend. i want to put that up because i didn't have my notes in front of me. i lost that i went to read off the sweet federal reserve primary inflation rate the core price index fell in april to its lowest level since march 2021. good news on inflation. they also went on to talk about earning power state aggregate rose .5% for the third straight month with guide the chicken bit

of a victory lap on that. >> it makes perfect sense for them to do so we have all this doom and gloom from a lot of people in this town were we are saying the pain was going to arrive immediately. it's going be acute across the board and at least so far on the most recent employment report on the numbers you just recited especially on wages, this is really good data for the administration. now where that the last month after month remains to be seen. but certainly some of the people who are most negative thus far being proven wrong. shannon: a part of this whole conversation of the economy involves what's happening with doge, elon musk formally leaving his role as expected. there are questions about whether or not what he did gets folded into what congress is trying to do here is the president talking about that friday. >> we are totally committed to making the change of cuts doge t and stopping much more of the waste. in the months that calm we went

to get our great big beautiful built finished and done after that were going to be-will put some of this into the bill. most of is going to come later. shannon: meridith, this is the one of the things elon musk was critical of a lot of things that doge was done was not going get codified anywhere for the president says it's going to the hills got to cooperate one of the odds you think? >> mmmy white out official thata rescissions package is going to be going to the hilt this week is going to about $9 billion is going to be focusing on npr, on pbs, some of the foreign aid cuts. house republicans have been talking with the white house in this rescissions package, still not nearly close to the $1 trillion elon musk has said he was trying to target with the work of doge the big question now is what sort of appetite there is on the hill we have seen how some cuts that elon musk made face in real backlash

even for people and from some party. shannon: horace, what about that at the heavy lift to get anything to they'll there's all this talk about rescissions package and their people frustrated because they say doge change it whatever work it's doing is not over according to the white house and elon musk. but they went to believe those who are supportive of the work that's been done that it is going to have some permanency to it. >> the taxcutting side has always been the easier part. coming up with the reductions or offsets has always been a difficult parts. i watch i have been watching senator johnson explained that we are not having a large enough offsets. i think it would be constructive for those members and he says there are many, to get together maybe sign a letter saying here are 40 votes in favor of doubling the number of offsets or whatever this amount is.

i think we are going to be fortunate to get the 9 billion it's my hope that what we do is have another rescissions a package later this year end then another one at the beginning of the year end that can sort of build momentum. shannon: will see if they take their advice from horace cooper this morning put in the meantime elon musk on his way sort of way think out the door, marie i actually think democrats are going to miss him. he has been a good foil for them. good target of criticism. are you sad to see them go in that respect? >> look, politically he will continue to be a problem for republicans. let's talk about what these offsets are paid a morally and politically these are very tough things are many republicans to defend. slashing medicaid is not just waste and fraud here. millions of people who deserve it legally to be on medicaid will get kicked off of their healthcare. elon musk did not find wise

roadways, fraud, abuse did not reach his big number. when did was get a lot of veterans fired around the world helps the most vulnerable people and by the way general countries doing that now that we are not? china are filling the vacuum. elon musk is standing up there with a chainsaw talk on the average patriotic americans that it served their country in the federal government across the country. not just in washington but working for national parks natis working for the veterans administration. that is a political message republicans are going to have to continue defending that's a very difficult one and that is part of why elon is leaving they're going to have to own it and that all the midterms. for the record they say they'll not get anyone who desperately needs qualify as making sure able-bodied people may be gaming the system would be cut off it would be millions of people

potentially there is impacts were going to track at all. panel thank you. the president the center of that a few miles up the road from here at harvard. congressman jake auchincloss is an alum 30 seats here to weigh in on the legal and pr battles the effort to crack different chinese is life at boston. trey: hello. maizy: do you want to play with me? trey: sure. do you want me to help you with groceries? maizy: yeah. trey: this journey with childhood cancer comes at you in waves. every day we wake up knowing that our two-year-old has cancer. it's tough to get through.

do we have a concern that 60000 people a year die because they don't get to a doctor on time? what's the answer to america's problems, senator sanders not more socialism. shannon: one of the exchanges to the first installment of the project right here in boston. next we will turn to the debate raged between the white house and the elite ivy league institution just miles from here in cambridge. we will discuss with harvard alum congressman jake auchincloss is live with me here in just a minute. first will set the table for lucas, said in washington with the latest on the showdown between the university and the white house. hey lucas. max commencement season is usually full of hope and optimism that does not appear to be the case at harvard. would president trump says he wants to rein in the school by cutting funding and banning foreign students. >> i don't think harvard has been acting.

>> has lashley's eight investigations and six government agencies and has frozen nearly $4 billion in grants at the elite school with an endowment, valued at more than $50 billion. trump wants to halt harvard's ability to enroll international students. on thursday from enforcing the ban. come from outside the u.s. a report little or no financial aid the president threaten to take $3 billion away from harvard, which he called very anti-semitic and give it to others he thanks are more deserving. >> i would like to see a lot of money going in there we probably found a pot of gold and that is what was wasted. >> also announced aggressively revoking visas of chinese students. including those with connections to chinese communist party.

rubio's spokesperson said student should feel safe on campus. >> the jew hatred and the anti- semitism, the vandalism, the taking over of buildings, the interrupting of education. that is not what you are allowed to do if you were here as a guest. >> over 9000 students gathered harvard yard for graduation. the university's president received a standing ovation when he spoke. >> members of the class of 2025 from down the street, across the country, and around the world. [applause] around the world just as it should be. [cheering] >> the state department stopped interviewing applicants for student visas to study her in the united states which affects all colleges and universities nationwide. shannon: are at lucas tomlinson in washington, thank you joe to meet now here in boston massachusetts congressman jake

auchincloss also a harvard alum as we mentioned for great tabulation. >> let's start here at harvard's current legal wins by that is for sure we we got a pr issue as well every day average americans were taxpayers who say why are we giving billions of dollars to this university that has an enormous dam and anti- israel protests on campus i do not see a representation of at any kindf conservative viewpoint. dr. oz also a harvard alum sent listen i think the school is still going to be trained the best and brightest but they've lost their way. what you think about that comment from him? what's up said the same myself over the last several years. universities need be truth seeking institutions that bring together diverse ideological viewpoints to arrive at the facts and inform policymaking. right now harvard is a good job of that with a science americans benefit from high-quality science i will give you an example section of health and human services rfk issued in a rreport on making america healty again that was riddled with made

up scientific citations it was written probably about jen a.i. is completely useless because it was not based on science. harvard is doing world leading science right now. wouldn't that be useful to inform what rfk is trying to do to address the search and autism across the united states? but two are divorced because instead of promoting harvard science the university is canceling contracts for autism researchers. how does that make jewish student safer? >> too that point former center has been president of two universities talks about a funding issue and said you got this huge endowment so why not pull from that to fund some of the research he also says this harvard is not of it improper to achieve the discretionary billions of federal funding and has received in the past. there is a massive gulf between buying a new cancer treatments and funding campus on wackiness between developing digital technologies to enable synthetic biology and subsidizing activists, professors thomas advocacy. he cites gallup polling that

shows america's confidence and hiinhigher ed has really been dropping off. the only way forward to schools like harvard to quote acknowledge they've screwed up. >> shannon iger at the senator. you did not mention he also said this administration's not doing a good job of making the distinction between cracking down on anti- israel unhinge protests and canceling science grants that return five -- $8 every tax dollar put down and help create evidence-based policy. right now we have a system in place for time and restrictions on protests that disrupt a suitable learning environment are targeted harassment. the administration should be pursuing that under the office of civil rights. not taking out against cancer researchers. >> to this point on free speech on the campus to talk about efforts there. the foundation for individual rights and expression is named harvard the worst school in the country for free speech for two

years running bring alan garver the present were some moments ago told npr this we have been very clear we think we do have issues particularly emphasize the speech issues party went on to say with regard to the lack of conservatives on campus to welcoming their viewpoint he said that is a problem we really need to address pre- >> agree, i said the same thing. think harvard was soon and 70th that needs to change. that is not going to change by harvard seating to authoritarian bullying from the right nor will it change by harvard giving it to progressive orthodoxies on the left harvard needs to be independent all universities should be independent, truth seeking institutions that do research and trade the next generation of leaders. senator sasse's right trading the next generation of leaders as public trust harvard needs are not trusted. not going to earn that trust by giving into politics right or left. shannon: is there something to be found in the model what's happening with columbia quest mark they acknowledge their major proms on campus with anti-semitism and they have not handled this practice while the

past. they have this back-and-forth with the trump administration of come to some kind of understanding and agreement that has resulted in them putting together concrete action steps. they don't think they are seating to bully on content with regard to curriculum. it's about making sure universities receiving federal funding to do have a place that's open and not hostile to a particular viewpoint. >> with the administration is asking of harvard is pedagogical control over us different departments astutely accept so i don't care for the democrat present republican president they do not get to control the curriculum of our universities. shannon: in what way? if we are talking we went information on students on campus they requested that their dhs they went into cracked and anti-semitism. >> new hire and fire oversight over the different permits within harvard and that's just not something you're going to get to a politician. what you can say so the office of civil rights will it suitable learning environment were going to look at targeted harassment were not going to allow them to pursue legal cases through ocr as necessary as they have done.

i would also say bullying foreign students is not advancing the cause of ideological diversity. if you take the best and brightest chinese students have a choice between whether they can do their research on america or china i would rather they do that research in america but right now once in the back to china to go cure cancer there and develop the system there. shannon: a couple things in the state department they have now said they want screening of applicants coming in foreign students coming into h harvard r any hint of anti-semitism. this issue of trident student visas that the state departmentd secretary rubio have said went to crack down on those who have concretize to the communist party or setting in sensitive areas. senator tom cotton talks about this he said it's time we do that. we know china has potential to spy on american researchers and others by coming into the country on the student visas. i know you fed influence as well. >> on the select committee on china left arm is bipartisan long-term oriented in the house

focusing on these these are largely hot air in terms of our ability to outcompete china. right now china's 1.3 billion people there all scoring higher on math and science that american students are with 25 m20 million american studente behind grade level in reading and arithmetic we should worry a lot less about chinese students and more about american students from going to disagree senator cotton about accepting chinese pieces. one thing i hope i could agree with him on lutz's servant one-to-one tutoring to every student in america let's build 1000 technical vocational school so that american students are ready to outcompete chinese students. right now or kick out the best and brightest from around the world were not helping her own kids. shannon: may be an president trump agree more money for trade schools if you could buy anything to agree on certainly tackling our major education issues here. congressman thank you for coming in. next up on the house and senate investigations into president biden's cognitive decline part he was really calling the shots during his final years in

shannon: we heard the edward m kennedy institute there is the only exact replica of the u.s. senate. bruce is back with us and tells about this specific special desk. >> this was ted kennedy's desk. it also is john kennedy's desk. he chose to sit here because he could grab a senator coming in who he might need to twist her arm a little bit about a piece of legislation. it was easier to do it here and then down there. shannon: a very strategic there's another very special desk we want to show people as well but i have visited this

desk and the u.s. senate. yours is even better. show us what we've got in here. >> so this is known as the candy desk this tradition was started in 1965 bite senator george murphy from california he had an insatiable appetite for candy he stalked the desk it is not permitted to eat in the u.s. senate chamber except in this instance. whenever a senator comes and goes they grab candy. it's now occupied by senator markwayne mullin from oklahoma it is his job in whoever it sits there to keep it stocked. >> we have a sample? oncwhat's i think i'm going for snickers. okay a tasty sweet tradition by the way back over there. now onto former president biden. he served in the senate for decades is now on the seat for his first public appearance since his cancer diagnosis we are back now with the panel. i want to play a little bit of

[inaudible] >> are right, he is back. do democrats feel happy about that? are they ready to close that chapter? >> i was wondering why he was making appearances he reminds me of jason voorhees of the political arena. his pa a party is in dire strai. rather than give them the space they need to sort of collected collectthemselves and to get be, outcomes president biden meandering and wandering and reminding people of exactly why the party isn't such a port repute. shannon: sparks all these

conversations about the house and senate both have investigations because of revelations in these recent books like original sin we had alex thompson on last week attacking the people within his own administration being shocked at times when they saw a hundred that last year or so having real questions about who was actually running the show. here is house oversight chair james, on what his questions a are. >> who gave the authority for the low-level staffers to take that document, put in the auto pen and push power to sign to biden's name? many documents are signed on days to bite it was not anywhere near the white house there's no evidence of any e-mail communication between the president and the staffers. >> marie, why is it not fair to ask that question? >> he can thoroughly ask any question he wants. there is no evidence joe biden was unable to mentally do the job or anyone was making decisions on his behalf. that's just not anywhere in the evidence we have seen. was he physically getting older?

of course but do i think he should have run again? no. democrats are going to that process right now. but what i will say he gets the grace to decide how he was a live out the time he has left on this planet i think democrats are focus idyllic at south carolina, the clyburn fish fry this weekend, westmore other young democrats ready to take the mantle in writing for years, that's what we are focused on let joe biden live his life. >> okay we'll get to that which is a second period but guide to this point of evidence of how he was doing. this book quotes cabinet secretaries who did not think he could take it to william emergency phone call. >> exactly right this is someone deeply diminished in his abilities. it was a massive scandal they try to cover it up even though we could all see it. one thing that stuck out to meet you mention the book it's getting a lot of attention for the authors mention in one of the interviews and they have done many interviews when specific things that stood out to me was these sources, these people in the white house the

administration, and do regret this? they said there's no expression of regret for presidents bike a ball unconstitutional scheme they were running. it is outrageous. they do not regret anything except the fact it did not work and they lost an election. that is the real take away here. shannon: merited to the point about 2028 and look into the future of the democrat party a lot of folks out there making the rounds, tim walz, westmore, what one final word to you. >> shannon, t cocoa20 24 electin just ended we are pivoting to 2028. lots of buzz this weekend in south carolina with the democrats, big names going out there. going into red states. but come at the same time there still a lot of work the democrat party needs to do and figuring out leadership and its new way forward in the aftermath of the election they just lost. shannon: tim walt said he asked what he would do differently he

>> there are some rares that we disagree, but i think the point of working together -- areas -- is figuring out where we can compromise. there are differences between the parties on how we arrive at that final goal or objective, but the debate is so important. shannon: a quick flashback from the 2023 senate project discussion with senators jean a shaheen and joni ernst here at the edward m. kennedy institute for the u.s. senate. now to our sunday special, giving veterans the opportunity to share their experiences through storytelling and music. modern warrior live. i sat down with the veteran behind it all. >> why is it the case someone who survives cancer is considered stronger while someone who survives combat is

damaged or a liability? >> veteran james polling, who deployed three times, shares his journey of life after combat. something that can be very much a part of the veteran, soldier experience is this idea of isolation that many people will feel. >> for me it was isolating, for a lot of my friends, it was isolating. shannon: james voices them aloud for heart-wrenching good-byes to the devastating loss of fellow soldiers to his struggles with with alcohol and self-destructive behaviors. >> my phone starts ringing again, and i can't talk to anyone today. they'd never understand. shannon: while battling his own mental health challenges, james recognized how his story could empower other veterans to open up about their issues. >> it initially kind of felt like an obligation. but once i started sharing my story and getting out and and talking to veterans around the country, it quickly became a passion.

>> it's hard to explain to someone how it is to be in the military and even harder to explain how it is to be in combat. so seeing this show of modern warrior live was, like, it did the speaking for me. ♪ ♪ shannon: the multimedia experience pulls together personal storytelling with music and projections. >> those two mediums of storytelling and music are incredibly powerful when they come together because they give the audience, i think, different ways to interpret, different ways to feel the story. >> it was like listening to a soundtrack. if you've been in the military or been in combat, some way, somehow you can relate to this experience. shannon: modern warrior says it has connected 4,000 people with resources and says two-thirds of audience members are more likely to seek help after attending the show. >> at all of our shows, we have resources in the lobby so we can

do things like drive enrollment at the v.a. or get people connected to local resources we know can help them on the ground after we leave. shannon: the organization has a workshop event that gives veterans the space to tell their own stories. >> we get to work with veterans, bring them in, help them flush out their story through interviews and writing. and then from there they collaborate with our musicians and really build out the show. >> as someone who experienced military sexual trauma and a lot of ptsd comes along with that, so this will be my first time telling this story ever in my life. so i'm excited, and i believe that it will really help a lot of other veterans who have experienced that kind of trauma. shannon: for more information on the touring show and workshops, visit modern warrior live.org. and a reminder, tomorrow i'll be moderating a discussion right here between pennsylvania senators democrat john fetterman and republican mccormack.
