[applause] mr. pruitt: make no mistake about it, it is not about water quality. it is not about that. it truly is about power, jurisdiction, and oversight. 1972ou imagine congress in if they wrote out that law ,alled the clean water act looking at that definition and say, if we adopt this law we wanted to be interpreted to include age right creek bed, puddle, or drainage ditch, answer would be, no way. justice scalia, alternate opinion, we are going to be inspired by him as we make a decision on the definition. that definition is coming this year. the president has shown tremendous courage. >> before we get to an overview of what you have accomplished at epa, i want

when he was 17, he moved to washington, d.c., and took a job at the u.s. patent office. political cartooning continued to be his passion, and on a whim, he submitted to drawings to the washington post, and to his complete and utter astonishment, the post published those drawings. many years later, he talked about how he avoided the newspaper for several days because he was afraid they might charge him for advertising. instead, they paid him what to him, at the time, was a handsome sum. that really inspired him. two years later, the washington post hired him as a political cartoonist, and he eventually became the chief cartoonist for the "the washington post." seven years later, he was hired by the washington evening star. at the time, that was the most widely circulated paper in washington, very influential. he continued to draw for the washington evening star for the next 42 years. his cartoons appeared almost daily, usually on the front page of the paper, prominently placed. he had quite an illustrious career. throughout his career, he won many awards. in 1944, he was

he used a broem moving around washington, d.c. vehicles like this were fairly common in larger cities. we have a vision in our heads by so many western movies that everybody had a carjack ra carr the home. if you were walking by foot street cars were available. rural areas you probably had some kind of general purpose carriage, not necessarily a buggy that resembles this but a farm wagon to use to take into town or whenever you're going. you see this aspect used as a personal transportation and taxi services and for the president he would be at a certain station to use one of these. and next, a vehicle that belonged to another roosevelt, his cousin, franklin roosevelt, who would be presidents a few decades laeter. he preferred a horse drawn vehicle. it was left to a successor to motorize the white house fleet. he played no favorite. hed a electric, gas and steam powered car. from that time on, presidential transportation evolved quickly. the car behind us is the 1939 lincoln model k. one of the most significant presidential vehicl

[applause] >> listen, make no mistake about it. it is not about water quality. it is not about that. it truly is about power and jurisdiction and oversight that was being stretched so far. can you imagine congress in 1972 if they wrote out a law called the clean water act looking at that definition of the water of the united states and saying you know what? as we adopt this law we want it to be interpreted to include a dry creek bed, a puddle, and a drainage ditch in utah, oklahoma, and texas. the answer would be no way. they d

the pending release of a classified government memo is shaking up washington d.c. if indeed the obama administration used the department of justice and the f.b.i. to spy on trump during the campaign this could be quite a scandal it would discredit the d.o.j. of the f.b.i. as nonpartizan a law enforcers and destroy the democrats now the democratic leadership doesn't want to be destroyed so here's a few of their last ditch efforts to keep their boat afloat. but. now adam shift from the democratic side of the house intelligence committee says that he's preparing a counter memo he says the republicans edited the document to fit their political agenda he says he's preparing a memo of his own that will expose the misleading character of the documents. that the f.b.i. says that they haven't been given sufficient time to review the document and they have grave concerns about the facts that have been removed from the memo as expressed during our initial review we have grave concerns about material emissions a fact that fundamental that impact the memos accuracy. the. democr

well a specter of anticipation is hanging over washington d.c. as everyone is anticipating the release of the memo now at this point we've already heard from many republicans who say they've seen the memo and that the content is shocking they're calling it worse than the watergate scandal now essentially the memo is purported and expected to show great abuses by the f.b.i. that essentially that they have the f.b.i. and the u.s. department of justice were abusing the foreign intelligence surveillance act in order to spy on donald trump that is what is being alleged now we've already got a recording of donald trump on a hot mike saying that the memo will be released just released. right now one hundred. of. the f.b.i. is saying in complaining essential that they didn't have enough time to review the memo out before it's pending release and we've also heard from adam schiff a top democrat who is saying that changes to the memo have been made without prior approval and it's called on the white house essentially not to release it he's saying it's not

about politics in washington d.c. well normally in this kind of situation it's presidential leadership that pulls it together and this particular case was golfing right where they did the negotiation so they just decided to go ahead on the road in the senate and cut a deal so is there a lack of leadership then yes definitely on the presidential side right in the parties are stalemated over important issues yeah so these are not trivial issues and it's interesting that this president who's very vocal on a number of matters and very active on twitter we haven't actually heard from him about this as well you can't claim credit for it he likes to claim credit for things but if they get this deal is it's pretty much a two year deal so this would prevent this from happening again for a while. thank you very much for that for now that is clive allcock thank you. let's move on to other news now in the system of north korea's leader has become the first member of her family to step foot in south korea since the two countries w

meanwhile washington, d.c. had more influence on this session as yields pop after the senate came to a potential agreement on the 2-year spending deal. this in light of the nation's $20 trillion in public debt which doubled. public debt being over 100% of gdp. then there is inflationary implications. you couple that with tax cuts and infrastructure. you are talking about a budget without guardrails. one of the narratives that popped up about this rally is jay powell. most fed watchers have regarded him as a dove or centrist. he never rocked the boat. powell has been with the fed since february 2012. before the that the carlisle group. is this man who will roil the stock market? danielle, there was a vetting process. jerome jay powell was picked because it felt like he would walk the party line, now people are wondering if he's a hawk. >> with good reason. we only heard him give a handful of speeches. he was not among those on the speaking circuit constantly. it was a couple weeks ago we had the release of the t

louis, orlando,san antonio, gainesville, washington, d.c., and in all of these cities around the country, people of color were more likely to be denied a conventional home purchase loan even when they made thehe same amount of moneys their white counterpart, even when they wanted to buy in the same neighborhood as their white counterparts, and even when they wanted to take on the same size alone as their white counterparts. juan: i would like to ask senators use, the starting line in this piece is the homeownership gap between whites and african-americans is now wider than it was during the jim crow era. did that come as a surprise to you, and your reaction to the series overall? think what we have to do is look at this directly from the great reporting that reveal did, and understand a ripple e effect that comes when you have this kind of discrimination going on. for example, philadelphia has the largest poverty rate of any major city in the nation, 26%. the largest of any city in the nation. the ripple effect on housing, 15,000 vacant houses. the ripple effect on wealth. effect onple e

and i think in washington, d.c., the result of being a minority party and so much dysfunction is that to be realistic, people are very incremental many and i thi think the people in california are having a very important conversation about how we want to go forward. do we want to take a real shot at some visionary ideas and start to think about how to make real change or try to work within the system that has so far, honestly, failed us for the last few years and where we see a very dysfunctional, infective failing in washington, d.c. >> and tom, is the idea in your view to move washington, move senator feinstein to some degree, republicans more so than democrats have had a lot of success in their view, at least, in mobilizing, energizing their party around primaries and changing some of the incentives. is that what this is about? or do you actually think senator feinstein is vulnerable? >> i think if you look at what senator feinstein has done, she has listened to this debate. she's participated in the debate, but you request scan se listening, and changing. but there's a bigger ques

is an independent african policy analyst joins me now from washington d.c. good to have you with us live on al-jazeera sir it seems that desperate times call for desperate measures and either mr kenyatta or his government must be pretty worried to have acted in this way. i think. at the same time though you know i'll go out on a limb been say there might be. a silver lining on this because events moving too quickly the government is reacting quickly on the other and mr a his so board is pretty incensed still about what went on in the in the elections now. deportee mr me. the silver lining may be that may be allowed things to to calm down because the trying to charge him in the courts the minute that he was i rested and brought to court today in kenya tuesday in kenya we know the street protests broke out in kisumu and i've up parts of western kenya which is the stronghold of nasa and mr odinga so i am hoping that this who are generally led on some steam i do know that westing capitals are very very worried and behind this is the address to deescalate the sit

that car certainly would be used when he was traveling in a motorcade in washington, d.c. it might be taken with him when he's traveling. at this time this car could have traveled by rail or airplane at that time. they start to move toward cargo planes to transport the cars to various places by the time eisenhower is the president. but they might use vehicles furnished by a dealer. they might go to the local lincoln agent, provide a new car that looked fairly decent, a convertible, and that was it. the state cars were really used for special purposes or very high profile events. there was a lot of difficulty in the expense in transporting them. presidents wouldn't be driving themselves in their official capacities, not in motorcades. their point was to be seen, the cars were always meant to provide an opportunity for the public to feel as though they were getting a close look at the president. however, presidents did enjoy driving on their own, perhaps around the white house grounds, more often at their private homes. franklin roosevelt had a ford model a modified that all

>> we have great leaders in washington. the dysfunction is very deep in washington, d.c. there is no doubt about it. i think there is a lot of democrats. i can speak for california only. folks want health care for all. they want a voice that's strong on the issue of climate change. they want the right to have their children breathe clean air and drink clean water. this is an issue i have been forcefully out in front. they want a pathway to citizenship for millions of hard-working mothers and fathers who spent so many years in this country without the ability to normalize their legal status. they want a voice of change in washington, d.c. again, i do respect senator feinstein very much. i think it is time for a new generation of leadership for all of california. >> as you point out, you have great respect for senator feinstein. you said over the weekend real leadership, moral clary rclari doing the right thing. it should never take a challenge to stand up for california values. you didn't mention her by name. was it directly about senator feinstein? if so, where do you fee

when i wrote the book, i was on the outskirts of washington, d.c., and i find that because of the proximity to the center of power, that that has an influence on your perspective, your view of things. and i was politically active at the time. so all of those things sort of made the book not only a memoir, an explanation of how someone could grow up in a family as i did, a family with very conservative values but very liberal political allegiances, and then end up becoming politically conservative. it also became a perspective of how i viewed issues through that political lens. so coming into our current situation here in lynchburg at liberty university, number one, it's an academic perspective. number two, since it's a private christian institution, the theological perspective came into play as well. and i think a lot of the issues that i talked about in the book where i had political solutions, i think i now look to more spiritual solutions particularly since the community that i've dealt with here -- not just at liberty university, but in lynchburg -- has really given me a different persp
