[laughs] mrs. reagan, some people have suggested that you have been the driving force in your husband's career. you want to the presidency more than he did. >> i now, i read that to. it's not true. i thought i married an actor. [laughs] actually, he was asked to run for office soon after we got married, and he turned down. by the democrats, when he was still a democrat. when the governorship came along i went along with it but that wasn't something that i had carved up for our future! certainly, the presidency was not something that i said, you've got to do this! no, that isn't true. i think people get mixed up as far as i'm concerned with this whole thing on my pushing him. they don't understand that if he had decided to go into the shoe business i would be out pushing shoes! you know? whatever -- >> aren't you glad he didn't? >> yes, that wa

mr. reagan: thank you. i appreciate the opportunity to appear before you today to the bold vision laid out in the u.s. epa proposed fiscal year 2023 budget. in this budget request we lay out a ambitious and transformative land for the epa with the goal of a healthier prosperous nation were all people have equal access to clean air, clean water and healthy communities. president biden proposed the budget request for epa provides $11.9 billion to advance key priorities tackling the climate crisis delivering justice for everyone, protecting air quality, upgrading the nations aging infrastructure, revitalizing our nation's magnificent water body and building core functions at epa to keep pace of the growing economy. over the last year we made progress towards a many of these goals. i am proud of the foundations we have late in partnership that have underpinned our successes. there's so much work to do to ensure that all children have safe healthy places to live, learn and play. to build a stronger, sustainable

reagan. how do you plead guilty? mr. president how good a politician is mrs. reagan?

mrs. kennedy was inspired by lincoln's funeral procession, so with great detail did she plan that, and with enormous grace and support from her team. but the sixth floor museum really chronicles the assassination and addresses those chaotic days leading up to the assassination, the aftermath, and tell the nation in the world more. and why there are still questions today. >> yeah. i remember at the time, i grew up, and i found a book on a shelf inmy home, and it's called, the torch is passed. famous book about the jfk funeral. and i remember leafing through it and seeing these iconic images of the funeral. i thought i'd pull one up -- yeah. tell us about this moment. >> one of the strengths of our museum collection is that we've been given, donated, so many wonderful images and films and home movies by innocent bystanders. and this photograph was taken by dr. thomas mcconnell, who actually was a doctor at parkland hospital before and after the assassination. but he was, here, documenting th

joining us this morning, michael reagan. it is good to see you again mr. administrator and welcome. before we start, i want to personally think both of you for your partnership in completing the fiscal year 2022 bill. i look forward to working with you again as we build our work on the 2023 bill. administrator reagan, i would like to think you so much for your business. i appreciate your insight and commitment to help not just with our issues but across the country. for fiscal year 2023, the president is requesting 11.9 billion for the epa. 2.3 billion dollars over the inactive level. in addition to this request, the epa released a strategic plan with seven clear and ambitious goals. for the first time this plan includes a goal focused solely on addressing climate change. it is also includes a unprecedented go to advance environmental justice and civil rights. i applaud you for taking on these two critical issues and i look forward to supporting you in these efforts. during this hearing come i hope we can explore further how this request can support your strategic plan in primary mi

mr. reagan: i sold my 2001 chrysler town & country minivan last year. every day when i drive to the train station to catch a train to come here i drive by the same bp gas station i have driven by for the last 30 something years. i have been watching with alarm and concern the price of gasoline there. last year my wife and i bought an electric vehicle. i do not have to stop at the gas station anymore. the gas is over four dollars a gallon. one of the best things we can do with respect to supply and demand, if we had less demand for gasoline because people were buying energy efficient vehicles that could help as well. i have a unanimous consent requested to submit for the record at two studies that highlight the need for smart farms to highlight methane capture for consumers. the first is a study by the nonprofit environmental defense fund that finds oil and gas operators are raising hundreds of millions of dollars into the air remaining that this potent greenhouse gases heating our planet instead of heating our homes. the second study is by not dashed by

mrs. reagan, how do you plead? >> guilty. >> mister president, how can a politician

rongd reagan said mr. tear this wall down and now tear down mickey mouses house and soon they'll be storming cinderella's castle you'll be sure of it. >> didn't remember the line right his deliveries so bad. >> dude, it is such a dumb culture war issue for them to be picking first of all. nobody wants to go to disney to go on a ride called snow white and the seven genders waiting two hours in line -- two lines in white to go on peter pan sexual and idea they want to really focus on that dumb disney culture war speaks to where their head is at here playing one side of the room aggressively. like they told cnn and chris quo mow jokes and banning gay people and everything in between and own the whole biden deserves like b plus there were good jokes he didn't forget his name or start telling us he was batman but it was too cheap and partisan did a pretty good job all thins considered. lawrence: i want to bring abby back into the conversation. abby so one of the things that i noticed is that trevor, he did make

ronald reagan said, mr. gorbachev, tear this wall down! today's republican say, tear down mickey mouse's house. soon, they will be storming cinderella's castle, and you can be sure of it. republicans seem to support one fellow, some guy named brandon. he's haven't a good year. and i'm happy for him. let me conclude with a serious word. we live in serious times. we are getting through a devastating pandemic, and we need to stay vigilant. i know kamala wanted to be here, but thankfully, she's doing well. you should all know, she sends her best. we are in a time when all we have so long taken for granted, oversees the liberal world order for the foundation is generally seriously under assault. a home, poison is running through our democracy. all of this taken place with this information massively on the rise. truth is buried by lies and the good honest truth. what is clear, and i mean this from the bottom of my heart, that you, the free press, matter more than you ever did in the last century. [applause] i really mean it. i have always believ

. >> ronald reagan said, mr. gorbachev, tear this wall down. today's republicans say, they're down mickey mouse's house! and pretty soon, they will be storming cinderella's castle, you can be sure of that. the republicans seem to support one fellow, some guy named brandon. he is having a really good year. i am kind of happy for him. >> last night, i actually have the honor of attending the white house correspondents dinner. i wanted to share a few pictures with you. it was so nice to catch up with colleagues and friends, and to meet new friends and person. after a few years of only social media contact. some of them looked a little different than the pictures in those little circles that we see on twitter, but everyone looked amazing and dapper last night. later this hour, i am going to take a deep dive on the new york times massive investigation into tucker carlson. how it claims the fox news host has weaponized his viewers, to create what's could be the most racist show in cable news. plus, speaker nancy pelosi becomes the highest ranging u.s

asking ronald reagan in 1984 what do you want for christmas and reagan said minnesota. when mr. mondale went to ask george mcgovern when did it stop hurting him to lose the presidency, senator mcgovern said i don't know, i will tell you when it happens. walter mondale loves his family and fishing, shakespeare, dairy queen, the united states senate, hubert humphrey, cigars and the state of minnesota. and most of all he loved america. his complexities and hopes, promising possibilities. he thought of himself as a public servant, as a citizen with an obligation to the common good. to him, government was not the enemy or the problem, but rather a manifestation of love of neighbor and country. on the night of his defeat in 1984, he spoke not only to the moment as painful as it was but to history saying let us continue to seek in america that is just and fair. that has been my fight. i'm confident that history will judge us honorably and so it has. one of the favorite verses of scripture tells this much. i fought the good fight. i finished the race. i've kept the faith. the first part

it's the most casual presidential greeting of an adversary since reagan at the berlin wall: >> mr gorbachev, how's it hanging, bro? ( laughter ) >> stephen: house of it hangin'? i remember how it hung. how it hanged. to the right? but north korea's not the only foreign power biden has a for. today, while in tokyo, he was asked this hypothetical about china attacking taiwan: >> are you willing to get involved militarily to defend taiwan if it comes to that? >> yes. >> stephen: gulp. ( laughter ) come on, joe, we have enough going on. it's like that old coco chanel saying: before you leave the house, look in the mirror. and don't go to war with china. ( laughter ) biden's very blunt statement surprised many, including the reporter who asked it, so she followed up. >> you are? >> that's a commitment we made. >> stephen: he sounds so resigned. (as grandpa) "i know the spark has gone out of our marriage, doris, but it's a commitment we made, so let's go upstairs and do the nasty, i guess. or right here on the kitchen counter. it's not like the kids are around anymore to interrupt." ( laughter )

i did reagan, everyone dd reagan. what would reagan do with ukraine? what do you want to do, mr. president? well, i say fire away. [ laughter ] with everything we've got. and then call them and see if they're still there. [ laughter ] [ applause ] it's not the best reagan, it's a flukily, i got cast as the president. george bush sr. took me a year, i couldn't do it at all. >> jimmy: really? >> because there was nothing there. "hi, i'm a president, how are you?" so i had to invent a character, extenuate it. i started just watching him. he would do this thing, "well, we're out there, kind of careful, doing that thing out there in that whole area." and that was al franken and i. we got it, that's it! that thing, that area. four years later i'm just like, "got to do it." mugging it up. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: it's interesting. for a lot of people, probably myself included, whoever is doing the president on "saturday night live," that is the president. >> yes. >> jimmy: you think that's them. >> that's the bully pulpit for a comedian. >> jimmy: yeah. >> you have that spot, l

mr. president, we have all seen so leadership, your courageous leadership. we are eager to hear from you on road life ahead for your country and it's people you are wishing for peace in europe and see international global and how we can assist you. because everybody of us is affected by what's happening in your country. mister president, sir flores yours with a change. it's a great honor for me. on the whole mister chairman, islam, professor schwab president, that guy has sung in president of late, isn't chapman. i was grateful for the opportunity to take part in the discussions that the forum, a theme, a history at a turning point, government policies and business strategies for mom this year and i'm on my own. they were turning point. she would have to use to become more than just so rhetoric figuring speech, this is really the moment when it is decided with a brute force will rule the world if so, the forces not interested in our thoughts and there's no need for phone them. meetings in divorce as there would be no reason for that brute force. yeah. school

that she was going to make a misstep akin to mrs. wilson's there are many other i mean many many many first ladies who are very powerful, but i think that the answer would probably start with edith wilson. all right, so i'm gonna make this case i knew she would i'm gonna do it. so it's the end of of the war of 1812. been in this war nothing this is the war that shouldn't have even ended before began. they conceded the british conceded don't made me explain it they conceited but we had the war anyway, and at the end of it loss of treasure lives. nothing gained capital burned to the ground. and yet the celebrations of this war this is right at the end of madison the madison presidency and james and dolly go off and a golden glow. in fact, they can't leave town after the inauguration because people just want to give them parties and everybody is celebrating this warm. it's making the americans outbreak gallatin said feel more american than ever. they're jumping with joy. how did that happen? and i would say that it was dolly madison's e

suggested to nancy reagan that she was going to make a misstep akin to mrs. wilson. there are many, many, many first ladies who are very powerful, but i think that the answer would probably start with edith wilson. >> i'm going to make this case. >> i knew she would. >> i'm going to do it. it's the end of the war of 1812. they have been in this war -- nothing. this is a war that should not have even -- it ended before it began. the british conceded. don't make me explain it. they conceded. we had the war anyway. at the end of it, the loss of treasure, lives, nothing gained. the capital was burned to the ground. yet, the celebrations of this war -- this was right at the end of the madison presidency. james and dolley go off in a golden glow. in fact, they can't leave town after the inauguration. people just want to give them parties. everyone is celebrating this war. it's making the americans feel more american than ever. they are jumping with joy. how did that happen? i would say that it was dolley madison's efforts during the war of 1812 to unify the capital

of course reagan in folksy way and says mr. gorbachev, mr. secretary if aliens attacked us wouldn't you come to our defense divosh chevy says of course. we would do the same thing. ends up creating trust that facilitates a new era of arms control super powers hate each other but don't want to destroy the world. that's precisely the way we respond to climate change. precisely the way. putin didn't read this book because he never would have invaded on february 24th. if he thought that the u.s. could have strengthened nato. that the democrats and republicans would hate putin more than they hate each other. he didn't believe it he thought they could go in and everyone would just shrug their shoulders and deal with it of course, it turned out that the crisis of russia invading ukraine was precisely the stimulus that was required to mobilize the west into action. >> brian: the numbers that you put together compile daunting shows the daunting rise of china. but we also know that china gets in his own way. defeating a lot of the capitalist principles

mr. biden and japan's prime minister about to make questions from members of the press. we'll go to peter doocy who is there with the latest news. reporter: good afternoon from tokyo. the whole point of this biden trip to asia, south core re-and japan is to figure out how to make the united states and other asian partners less reliable on china. they are trying to send a message to the chinese, if they decide to move on die juan, they will be passed out like russia is after invading ukraine. the supply chains are completely crimped as china remains locked down because of covid. they don't want to rely on china for being unreliable trade partners or for using unfair trade practices. so send yeah, japan and australia are all getting together here in japan to try to figure out what to do about it. there was a fair amount of that when we were in south korea. for anybody watching. the format, the way this will work. there will be two podiums. we'll have the japanese leader and the president. they will each take two questions from their delegations. we expect to see two americ

i was surprised you had called mr. biden. guest: it's just not my way. i gave him a chance and then i looked at thehost: our book tv h program continues from larry kudlow's library in connecticut. we want to hear from you. 202 is the area code. 202-748-8201 if you live in mountain and pacific time zones. if you want to send a text, 2027 488903. -- 202-748-8903. mr. kudlow, where did you grow up and who are your parents? guest: i grew up in inglewood, new jersey. irv and ruth kudlow. he was a businessman. she became a very good real estate agent. and i have one younger brother who has lived in hollywood, los angeles, hollywood for many decades. i love him to death. he is my favorite hollywood liberal. host what does he do in hollywood? guest: he is a scheme -- screenwriter, postproduction. younger brother. host: i want to read a quote from "american abundance." this was in the introduction "in late november 19 905i had no prospects, no confidence, no ambition, and know since i could do the job." what was going on? guest: well, i had had my crash and burn
