the critical thing is liz has acknowledged that, with hindsight, with welcome hindsight, that mistakes were made in the preparation for friday. i notice you're carefully avoiding my question about whether or not you'll vote for this in house of commons. well, i don't believe it's right. labour leader keir starmer has said he would work with any conservative mps who wanted to vote down but conservative chairman warned that any hodeidah would lose the —— any who did would lose the whip. but what is extraordinary about the way michael gove spoke out this morning is that even though there isn't any love lost between michael gove and liz truss personally, does him speaking out in this way now embolden others to make public the criticisms that they have been expressing privately. luxmy. king charles will not attend the cop27 climate—change conference in egypt next month, buckingham palace has confirmed. it follows reports that the uk prime minister liz truss had advised him to stay away. in response, the palace confirmed advice had been sought by the monarch and given by liz truss. bef

the critical thing is liz has acknowledged that, with hindsight, with welcome hindsight, that mistakes were made in the preparation for friday. i notice you're carefully avoiding my question about whether or not you'll vote for this in house of commons. well, i don't believe it's right. now, sir keir starmer has suggested he would work with conservative mps to try to vote down that 45p tax rate abolition, the conservative chairmanjake berry has warned this morning that any conservative mps who did that would lose the whip, and it is worth pointing out that there isn't any love lost between michael gove and liz truss, but he is a senior figure in the party, and the key thing will be, with him speaking out in quite an extraordinary way this morning and being that blunt about it, does that embolden other conservative mps to start publicly criticising, in the way that they have been behind the scenes, and can liz truss, kwasi kwarteng and her senior team managed to win them around over the next few days? indonesian officials have revised down to 125 the number of people killed in the crush

and the uk and many others, a lot of hindsight. second thing that will become clear, reaction to the epidemic was so extreme by so many governments and so many people paid such a price for it in lockdown and delayed operations and lost school years and more, my own suspicion we're never going to have honest analysis what went on during that period. so many were made to sacrifice so much we can't get to the bottom of it, it is sad to admit, that is the situation when this comes out of what came out of wuhan two years ago. >> brian: nurses at home got fired, kids kicked out of school, colleges told to get going. 20,000 military members will be told to hit the pavement. >> that is a special disgrace. >> brian: a special disgrace and they can fix it. thanks so much issue appreciate it. countdown to midterm is on, lawrence jones is having breakfast with friends, set the table. >> lawrence: big issues to discuss, krierm is the leading issue, we'll be discussing that with voters coming up on "fox and friends." look at this, look at that,

the critical thing is liz has acknowledged that with hindsight, with welcome hindsight, mistakes were made in the preparation for friday. i notice you're carefully avoiding my question . about whether or not you'll vote for this in house of commons. i well, i don't believe it's right. it is quite an extraordinary thing for a conservative mp to come out and say on the first day of the conservative party conference, we should say there is no love lost between michael gove and liz truss, but what is interesting to see is if that emboldens other conservative mps who do not like this policy to come forward and say publicly what they have been saying behind the scenes. we will have to see if others follow suit and just this afternoon, damian green, another cabinet minister —— former cabinet minister, has said the conservatives will lose the next general election if we end up painting ourselves as the party of erect. he also said he has been coming to conferences for more than a0 years and this was more difficult than many. the conference programme has opened in the last couple of hours

but ultimately because we with the benefit of hindsight know how things turned out this fair. its vision for tomorrow was outdated before it even began. in september 1938 a year before the fair opened. british prime minister had gone before the world met with hitler and said this afterwards this morning i had another talk with the german chancellor here hitler and here is the paper. which bears? his name upon it as well as mine. the settlement of the czechoslovakian problem which has now been the cheese. is in my view only the prelude to a larger settlement in which all europe? may find peace. it's peace for our time declares chamberlain. he's talked to hitler. we've saved the check checkoslovakia from nazi aggression by coming to this pact and we see peace and prosperity for europe ahead hitler is a man can work with okay, except before the fair even opened one month later both or sorry one year later both czechoslovakia and austria were under nazi control. he violated his agreement lied to the british prime minister and the world. before the fairs end belgium denmark france

and in hindsight, is that an assessment that you would agree with and, and do you think your views have changed the strategy employed by ourselves at the time? and i know it because i wrote it mom and certainly by the obama administration, cuz i knew barrack very well and work with him closely on us strategy. and i also work with chancellor merkel. um was not unconditional engagement with china. it was engagement plus hedge. and the engagement was fully um, are working with the chinese on the global as it were, commons global governance maximizing, mutual economic benefit, maximizing mutual economic responsibility, working on common challenges together. and the expectation was that the chinese would move towards our inclusion into the existing rules based system minus democracy. okay. i don't think that was ever a realistic aspiration for anybody. so the not mine. i think what happened with the rise of changing ping is china's own playbook changed the, the china of changing ping as radically different from the china of who jan tower, jones of men, and even dung shall ping. then take my

he shouldn't have been so eager in hindsight, because barely a day out of port, the royal louis captured by the hms amphibian, whose captain was a guy named john baisley fortin, as he wrote in his recollections or memoirs. he basically thought that he was in really bad trouble because he said people of his complexion who are captured by the british tended to be sent to the slave marks in the caribbean. and he thought that that was going to be his fate. but fortunately for him, captain john had on board a 12 year old son who needed a companion, and he chose fortin to be that companion. and so for a few weeks, fortin developed a strong relationship with baisley son. so when baisley and the hms anthony pulled into new york harbor, where they were going to transfer, all of the crew of the royal to one of the prison ships there, the dreaded jersey, he. fortin, an option. he said, you can go to england and the ward of my son, you'll be free. you'll be and you'll have money like all the good things in life or i can pass you off to the local prison master and you'll placed on the jersey like the

. >> no, of course, hurricane ian developed into this behemoth of a storm, hindsight, you know, being 2020, we do understand that some residents, particularly in lee county, feel that local authorities just waited too long before ordering evacuations, which has meant that, for some, they just had a day's warning. was that enough? >> you know, i think it was. the county does an excellent job. they have a very robust management program. they, typically i have been over here a year, they typically make sound decisions, based on facts and data, and there was plenty of time in my opinion, to the evacuation zones, a, b, and c, the press conferences, numerous outlets, where they encouraged the county manager, the emergency managers, even county commissioners were all on tv, urging >> but what did the local authorities say evacuate rain now, give the order. for people to evacuate. >> but i saw, yes, it was very strong urging for evacuations in the a, b, and c zones, here in lee county. >> conclusion, would you do things differently? >> you know, hindsight is always 2020, but during the prepar

of education or what i might anticipate in terms of k subject areas to be addresd in the process so hindsight i have a lot of great ideas how to do it differently but i did my best gettingvi through and thankfully vice president pence could cast that tie-breaking vote which was a historic moment, there's not been another cabinet member having to be confirmedd by a tie-breaking voe prior to that. >> there haven't been many cabinet secretaries so unfairly treated as well and you handled it with grace. then the first day you show up to work was amang, share that with us do not think we are referring to the second day when i went to visit a school in washington d.c. >> we could talk about that, tob i was talking about the department of education has three buildings and you shook hands with every person in the building. >> i walked throughot every flor and shook hands with everyone there. to be fair, these are large buildings with a lot of workstations and many of them were activated at a hefty number that worked. i shook hands with every staff member there and every employee and introduced myself

i'm sure i could go back through and find some in hindsight, what was i thinking? and some of my -- i sometimes thought i haven't pressed hard enough to protect people's freedoms and things, but the issue comes up again and you can. but there are things right after 9/11, attorney general ashcroft and the bush administration wanted to immediately change a lot of our laws, which would have limited speech and people's rights in this country, and i said no. we've got to take a closer look at this and pleased a number of republicans joined me. quietly, but joined me. >> you're known as being blunt spoken, so is dick cheney. [laughter] >> and there was a time that he was on the hill when he was vice-president republicans. and you went over and asked him to come and talk to the democrats. he was angry you had been criticizing halliburton. >> i had been, yes. >> and he told you a phrase we can't repeat on c-span, a vulgar phrase what you should do with yourself. tell us about that. were you surprised when he said that? >> i was. you know, i'd known him before he was vice-p

now that we have hindsight. >> the television, i think, is the most successful. of course, it dominates our life today. it wasn't invented at the fair, as i mentioned it wasn't even debut technically at the, fair did not cvs to that. but this ability to transmit images and news and everything stalls out because of world war ii. then by the 1950s, it's just rocketing. certainly the television. the least successful, i think, the notion of flying cars. it's something they talked about the 1930s, certainly play up in the 1950s. that this idea is just around the corner. talk now about how there is flying cars right around the corner, companies are developing them, and it's not going to happen. starting in 1939 they're talking about building buildings with landing pads for everyone's private flying car. so, the flying part of the car didn't work out. the radar, the ability for a car to track the car ahead of it and speed up and slow down, cars have that now. it's still relatively recent. so, that took 80, 90 years to come to fruition. but certainly the highway system i

is there was the benefit of some hindsight. is there something you rue about your work in the senate, something you regret, a mistake, misstep or a mistake or a vote you wish you could change? well, i've cast over 17,000 votes. most of anybody there? i'm sure i could go back to and find some say in hindsight, what was i think and you know, i've acknowledged that and saw my. i sometimes felt i had impressed hard enough to protect people's freedoms and things. but the issue comes up again and you can. but then i'm proud of things like right after 911, attorney general ashcroft and the bush administration wanted to immediately change a lot of our laws, which would have limited speech and people's rights in this country. and i said, oh, we're going to take a closer look at this. and i was pleased that a number of republicans joined me quietly, but joined me. now, you had a you're known as being blunt, spoken. so is -- cheney. there was a you know, there was a time that he was on the hill when he was vice president talking to republ

>> well, it's something that in hindsight you look at it, and, you know, kind of similar to what he did at the beginning, he shifted the focus and the blame entirely onto uvalde, and so when something like this in hindsight, you look back and it's exactly his technique. he focuses and rearranges his words and starts focusing on as an institution that there was no failure. ultimately it's his people that failed as the organization, the administration that he supervised that failed. so how he can deviate or deflect, it's irresponsible and unacceptable. >> jesse, i know your brother-in-law, jackie's father, ja javier, had said that he would have liked to see this investigation come to an end and see the actual result of that investigation in the findings and then have colonel mccraw resign. why do you disagree with that? why do you think he needs to resign now? >> i think, you know, it's a time for healing. i understand what javier, you know, and a lot of other folks mentioned, you know, that it's something he's leading the investigation and holding some of the people accountable, but at t

so in hindsight i have a lot of great ideas about how to do it differently, but i did my best getting through, and thankfully we had vice president pence who could cast that tie-breaking vote, which was a historic moment. i don't think there has not been another cabinet member having to be confirmed by tie-breaking vote of the vice president prior to that and what there have been many cabinet secretaries that were so unfairly treated as well, and you handled it with a lot of grace. in the first day that you show up to work was an amazing, and a book it's an amazing story. please share tha with us. >> guest: i think we're referring to the second day when he went to visit a school in washington, d.c. >> host: we can talk about that. talking about the department of education has three buildings. and you shook hands with every person in the building? >> guest: i walked through every florida rebuild anne schuchat with everyone who's ever to be fair these are very large buildings with lots and lots of workstations, and many of them are populated, and/or a pretty hefty number that weren't. b

david: you say that may be you thought it came from your football injuries, but in hindsight is it more of a genetic kind of thing? john: the doctors don't know it is genetic. my mother did have alzheimer's. i think you need information. i hope my cognitive skills last a long time, but life is life. just live it. i don't think trying to hide things -- i don't want to say " john, you told me that three minutes ago." " give me a break, i might repeat myself." i cover myself by saying, " i might have already told you this." david: kristi is your wife. where did you meet her? john: i met her through charlie rose. charlie rose were at duke university. he was a couple years ahead of me. he had moved to new york. i was in new york with him at smith barney at the time. he called me up and said my wife's sister is coming up. we would like you to take her out. i had a date for friday night. mary was a beautiful woman. kristi walked in. she took my breath away. she was very warm, very friendly. if it wasn't love at first sight, it was pretty close. david: you grew up in north carolina, but your, g

>> you cannot consider hindsight because at the time i made the decisions, i had them. everybody is essential, if you want to argue that and we used the term non-essential and essential. we have had 18 months to roll out an excess of $1 billion. we have more jobs than we had pre-pandemic and that is how fast the economy has come back. the state is coming back very strong as a result of post-pandemic times. if you argue about should it have been three-foot, six foot separations, we were making a lot of decisions on a daily basis. >> what about schools? there are a lot of people that think their children have been sent back for how long the schools were closed. >> i do not believe i made a mistake there. we worked with all of the districts and superintendents, we had regular meetings to talk about this. there were certain situations that we could not take the chance of covid getting into a classroom and suddenly you had 30 or 60 kids with covid. my number one focus was to save human lives. we have saved lives as a result of the things we put in place. >> sheriff, being in

the wpa like i think in hindsight, we should obviously say wpa is a really good program. maybe that maybe some people would disagree with that. but empirically i think we should say that and so therefore, i think he has some positive return for democracy during that era. okay. well, you also asked about nixon. yeah, yeah. but he sort of does the same thing with without his own of wizard of washington. crystal gazer crystal balls, as neal heard, just called at the time. he has what? more like what presidents have today, which is an office of public in the white house where you have multiple pollsters you also have interns collecting public data and telling president hey, your approval rating went up like 0.2 points yesterday. like maybe don't talk about whatever you talked about yesterday or hey, you're in this case of nixon, your your opinions on the clean air act and women's equality actually particularly popular but not among your base. so don't talk about it in red areas. talk about it in blue press, which is sort of interesting. but you know, richard nixon's also sort

hindsight is 20/20, but at the time you're just trying to get up every single day and make it through the day. >> tell us about that first moment of revelation and what advice, if any, you have for other women who may be blindsided by a romantic partner? >> anthony was my first relationship, he was my first love, he was the first man i'd ever been with. the trauma and ptsd which i do write about in the book, it took a long time to get through it. one of the great privileges i feel as women stop me on the street or send me messages and emails, i do calls fairly regularly. i tell them, lie yourself to feel. i think i didn't. i had to compartmentalize, ied a so much anger and resentment, and in the end it was slowly killing me. it really was. it was going through therapy, understanding it, working through it. now that i'm on the other side, i can be this person in 2022 who would not recognize the 2016 version of me. >> so give us some insights into that healing process. i would imagine writing this book was a lot of it? >> i grew up in an immigrant family. and my -- you know, a community

the thing i well, i, i think in hindsight, you know, as i watched trump rise and 15 and 16, some thing i don't mean run me the wrong way in a partizan sense but something was telling me he shouldn't be doing this. well, but he is doing as well. every smart political strategist i talked to assures me it won't last and it kept lasting. so by the time we get back, i remember the night of the access tape i was on a nationals baseball nats park and. the press release is start coming out from republicans saying, you know, get rid of him and i was actually surprised at that and i didn't even then i there's still time for the dust to settle i think what happened with trump is one he was running he was the ultimate change in a race versus clinton who just not be a change agent in the same way jeb bush could be a change agent because were dynastic families at that time connected to people that had been running country and had participated in the country. jeb bush is a governor of florida. hillary clinton as a senator, first lady. before that, that's number one. right. and often in these races, a

but the critical thing is that liz truss has acknowledged that with hindsight, the mistakes were made were in the preparation... you the mistakes were made were in the preparation - -_ preparation... you are carefully avoidin: preparation... you are carefully avoiding this — preparation... you are carefully avoiding this question - preparation. .. you are carefully avoiding this question of- preparation... you are carefully i avoiding this question of whether you will vote on its? i... the labour you will vote on its? i. .. the labour leader— you will vote on its? i. .. the labour leader keir— you will vote on its? i... the labour leader keir starmer said he would work with conservative mps who wanted to vote that down, although this morning the conservative party chairman said this morning that anyone who did that would lose at the web, there are certainly a lot of division that liz truss will be trying to get past this week. i have with me a conservative mp who was he at conference, the mp for devizes in wiltshire, what did you make of liz truss saying she could have lay the g

i think with the benefit of hindsight, it certainly was wrong and i think at the time, there were many observers who felt that the policies that europe was pursuing were shortsighted. i think that is why president biden has done the right thing in his approach to us policy, to emphasise resilience. we are going to need to be paying attention particularly i think in these years to resilience with respect to semiconductors. as we know, larry, you've been us treasury secretary and whilst the central bank, the federal reserve, is independent of government, i'm wondering, when interest rates are going up, how much concern is given by policymakers in washington on the impact that has on the rest of the world? look, responsible officials are always trying to forecast what's going to happen in the global economy. they're always trying to provide for the smoothest possible path of economic growth. but certainly during my time in government, it wasn't our practice to lean on the central bank, and i would be very disappointed if that were to change at the current moment. i think one of the things

you need to go to a place and then only in hindsight, like an article, you realize that you found a treasure. do you think this some kind the race to get to the morning? the moon gotten into the sort of focus of interest of many nations already in the last decades, but it took a while to gather the momentum to gather the corporations like now with the us and europe, a building the ryan spaceship together to go to the moon that interest is, of course, there in other countries, and so china will go to the moon together with russia, potentially other countries having the moon in their interest, india for example. and so you can call it a little bit of a race. and you know, it's, in my opinion, still very important that we go together as a corporation as we have right now. and, but of course, a little bit of competition is also always good for the business. so optimist is a precursor to go to mars. how is landing on the moon going to help us one day reach mars the sequence of missions to allow us to get surface access to the moon in the, in potentially even get a surface, a basis of a station li
