until i moved into the white house. i already had secret service protection back and be cut is of the sla i did and my mother didn't which was a strange phenomenon. but the most exciting part of it was moving into a place i had male bathroom and did not have to share with my brothers. [laughter] >> the secret service protection must of been a real shock to your everyday life. >> it was. but i grew up with three older brothers it's like having your brothers around nonstop. we worked with the secret service and i was had a good relationship with them. yes i did disappear once on them that everyone needs to do it to see if you can. it was fine. i still stay in touch with my secret service agents. they were great friends and they know a lot of secrets i don't want out. >> we are recording this at the presidential site summit by the white house historical association. how much of your life is devoted to your family experience. >> not as much as most people would think so having three brothers to break that then who will do w

. >> well, thank you for visiting with us during this white house >> i think fdr used this place as a place to bring these world leaders up but tend to let their guards down and focused on system of the major issues that they're here to talk about. springwood is really the same way. when you talk intoed the buildings, you didn't come in as king or queen, prime minister, first lady whatever your title was, you came in as a friend and coming into somebody's home as a friend is much different than walking into their place of business assay colleague. going into the white house with fdr and talking about major world events would be much different than coming to this secluded porch where, you know, they were no photographers wait to go take a picture of the handshake. it was a place where he could open with his guest and showing him sitting in his wheelchair layed it all out there. he's there showing off the fact that i'm not hiding anything from you and i think guests received that in such a way that they were willing to not hide anything from him and the way they used this place really f

. >> who do you think is running the white house? >> i have no idea. [laughter] what people are speculating in the conversations. a. >> i don't think they know.theys on heavily and there's a lot of speculation not only among people in arkansas but i think that's true when i talked to my senate colleagues the question that's out there right now. >> they are passing some historic legislation that president biden himself has been deeply involved in the negotiations of. >> it is a rocky road we will have too see how it turns out. virginia is going to make a big difference in that with the closenessra of the race i think the country is more summer center-right and some are centerleft but they are not as far left as what is coming out of the white house right now and because of that convinced the tendencies and all of the money we have been spending so we have to wait and see how it winds up debate i don't think america is ready for the cradle to grave national spending and taxing. i think it's probably been taken off because of the capital gains and the lan

he had this open, not a great premium in the early nixon white house. he was a wind of change and we've put together to show position of somebody who had been campaigning for kennedy the week he was killed and ends up as nixon's domestic policy so there's a short line in which william introduces the then democrat moynahan and we butted up a very short excerpt on the phone conversation, this would give you an idea of the nixon moynahan dynamic, the relationship and interplay between these two minds because they were intellectuals working on that. >> 's assistant to the president and the last time he was at a rally very appropriately scheduled on halloween night. [laughter] was predicting the end of nixon the following week. >> good morning mr. president. >> where are your products. >> i am going to give today and give them a little help. >> all right. i am delivering tonight at 7:30 p.m. right in the middle of it but it's brief. is your retention time that long? >> i never -- >> don't admit it. >> i just tell you the new yorker is running three long asec

later this afternoon i will join president biden and other members of congress at the white house. the president will sign into law the largest investment in our nation's infrastructure since eisenhower administration. despite all odds he's done so with bipartisan support. we'll take on the challenging and past reconciliation bills and appropriations bills. when i return to the senate, you are will tell the other members of the senate what a privilege it has been, being a senator in the history of our country. will i tell them how humbled i am by the support i received from my fellow vermonters. having been on the ballot on vermont 24 times. actually between states attorney and senate, 24 times, general leakses. how proud i was to see my name on that ballot. i will tell my fellow senators i will not be on the ballot next year. will i not run for re-election. i wanted to announce that here at home just a few yards from where i grew up in montpelier. representing you and washington has been the greatest honor. i'm humbled and always will be by your support. i'm confident in what the

that was sent to the white house to discuss robert patel of civil rights attorney and radio. ed martin publisher pro america workforce dot com. thanks for joining me, robert and ed going to be ok are, and i'm gonna start with you on this letter with his latest c, f, b. i is denying they were actually liking information on the most outspoken parents and not investigating them thread that the i said they were doing it. so why are parents right now? well look at this point, i think most americans would say it's a trust, i'd say verify and trust. i don't think anybody trust the f b i after the record, they've had in the last few years. so that's number one. but number 2, we have conflicting moments. merrick garland has said one thing done. another he said there was no targeting. then there's proof, at least in time there's targeting. what's outrageous right now is it's the same people that were in charge in the obama era. susan rice, the obama white house that was targeting people, tea party groups through the i r s. now we have the d o, j targeting parents. and here's the messag

house. >> you read father john had a brother who died the white house so it's close by telling the story because it was a real tragedy, i believe during a reelection campaign rated. >> yes, the brothers were 19 years apart excuse me 19 months apart and they are playing tennis, has found. calvin jr. developed a blister on his foot and that was treated but it became infected and the infection started to spread through his body and they had no antibiotics at the time to treat that so a week after getting a blister, he died in a hospital of texas. he was 16 years old. >> what you know about how that impacted the presidential family. >> i believe that i put a lot of pressure on john. he was then seen as the only remaining child and i think a lot of stress and pressure was put on him to be a model. i do know that it was a realize the president and that he blamed himself a lot because if he had not maybe been in that position, maybe his son would be alive. grace was a real driving in terms of saving the family and helping them to move on. she wrote a poem about calvin's death. it was called the

when across the land take, as the us themes with his own surgeon, immigration, the white house house makes the case president with that issue in the spotlight will tell you how it went just after this. ah, ah ah ah mm. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race who is on offense, bearing dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk with ah ah la again now amid the ongoing migration crisis in the united states, joe biden has hasty talks with the leaders of mexico and canada. it was the 1st trial that through summit, between those at lee, this, of those countries in 5 years, although it hasn't really produced any major bright trace matters, sir, happened. so he was a caravan of about $3000.00 migrants, mostly from central american haiti have set off from southern mexico and heads towards the us border. meanwhile, mexican authorities had discovered more than 400 people secretly traveling into laurie trailers.

i council inside the donald trump white house?— white house? i don't because the motivation _ white house? i don't because the motivation for _ white house? i don't because the motivation forjoining - white house? i don't because the motivation forjoining the| the motivation forjoining the administration back in 2017 when the russian intelligence services at the direction of the kremlin interfered in the presidential election that was the 2017, 2016 presidential election. as we all know, that created chaos and us politics and became a massive domestic prices and a certainly felt as someone who would serve before and the government, as national intelligence officerfor and the government, as national intelligence officer for russia backin intelligence officer for russia back in 2006 to 2009 under both the bush and obama administrations. but something had to be done and part of my motivation was to do something of the national security front desk concerned about what the russians had done and i would do it again, for sure. ultimately, your working

on thursday, the white house deputy press secretary with asked about the decision from opec plus . as you remember, we engage with relevant opec plus members. a few months ago, as well as urging a compromise solution to allow proposed production increases to move forward, which they did, but more can be done. now is the time for majority country producers to stabilize energy prices and ensure high prices do not hamstring the current global economic recovery. and joining us, our discusses kirk edwards, the former chair of the permian basin petroleum association crick. i'm going to get to the white house here in just a few minutes, but i want to start with this opec decision and we got to get to the why. what is the rationale behind the refusal of opec plus to increase production as prices continue to rise? first of all, thank you for having read again, look forward to visiting the on this, but you know to me, opec, seeing all the commodities. ready across the world, they see still you're seeing coal, you're seeing the refrigerator is everything going up and cries, and so all the gas

in remarks at the white house, he called on americans to get vaccinated and receive booster shots. because -- >> good morning, folks. hope you all had a happy thanksgiving and were able to get together with your family and friends. it was great to see so many family getting together this thanksgiving after being apart last year, and with much to be grateful for as a nation. when i was elected i said i would always be honest with you. so today i want to take a few moments to talk about the new covid variant. first identified last week in southern africa. it's called the omicron and it is come to their credit the scientific community in south africa quickly notified the world of the emergence of this new variant. this kind of transparency is to be encouraged and applauded as it increases our ability to respond quickly to any new threats, and that's exactly what we did. that very day the world health organization identified the new variant, i took immediate steps to restrict travel from countries in southern africa. but while we have travel restrictions can slow the speed of omicron,

going into the white house with fdr and talking about major world events would be much different than coming to this secluded porch where, you know, they were no photographers wait to go take a picture of the handshake. it was a place where he could open with his guest and showing him sitting in his wheelchair layed it all out there. he's there showing off the fact that i'm not hiding anything from you and i think guests received that in such a way that they were willing to not hide anything from him and the way they used this place really facilitated some wonderful conversation and they were able to really delve into some of the major issues and i think come up with some really incredible solutions that may not have been possible at the white house or more formal places. >> this building was constructed in 1938. fda brings an architect to the site by the name of henry tooms by the state of georgia which was no strange internal revenue in fdr and had worked together in projects including the high park town library, stone cottage at valkill and warm springs in georgia so he knew what f

, senate and white house. there were some differences at the end, and we will deal with those as we go forward. we have different committee systems in the house than in the senate, so this will be reshaped in their committees, and at that point we will see where we need to reconcile, should we say, our differences. but at the end of the day we will have a great bill. do you want to speak to that? >> the fact of the matter is over the last few months, particularly in the last few weeks, we have been working with senators, not only senator manchin, but also with the chairs of the committees in the senate. i'll use two examples, one on the -- pricing. we have been getting representative sinema's input, and i believe the pricing provision that you see is it. i guess there could be changes, but i do not think that they are significant. the fact we have negotiated prices and savings, as the cbo showed, it means that this is a provision that saves money, and at the same time does a lot in terms of affordability for s

susan rice, the obama white house that was targeting people, tea party groups through the i r s. now we have the d o, j targeting parents. and here's the message. i want to tell the democrats what we, the people are feeling is that you are using policies to make our kids hate their parents and hate america, and we're all sick of it. and so you're seeing a backlash that's going to come and i, i don't know whether the republicans in the house will have any success of finding out what's going on. but it's clear, mary garland changed the policies in order to target parents. the only question is why and when? well, and i think that was one thing that has been made of parents not just for public are democrat parents that were upset with different agencies that were going out of school board and wanted to bring it to you. our because now we're seeing that there was actually a whistleblower disclose document showing that the f b i was involved. they were using counterterrorism tools to investigate parents, a hash tag, either the f b. i denied it. they did start this threat tag e d u offi

house. >> your grandfather john had a brother who died in the white house. so let's close by telling the story because it was a real tragedy. i believe it was during a reelection campaign that -- >> yes, it was. so it was the boys were playing -- the brothers were 19 years apart, excuse me, 19 months apart and they were playing tennis on the white house grounds. calvin, jr. developed a blister on his foot and that was treated but it became infected and the infection start today spread to his body and they had no antibiotics at the time to treat that and a week after getting the blister he died at walter reed hospital of sepsis. he was 16 year's old. yeah, yeah. i believe that it put a lot of pressure on john. he was seen as only the remaining child and a lot of stress and pressure was put on him to be a model for his son. i do know that it was a real loss for the president and that he blamed himself a lot because if he had not been in that position, maybe his son would be alive. race was a real driving factor in saving the family and helping them to move on.

my team at the white house will provide me with daily updates this week. on thursday, i'll be putting forward a detailed strategy outlining how we're going to fight covid this winter, not with shutdowns or lockdowns, but with more widespread vaccinations, boosters, testing and more. i promised every american that there will always be the latest vaccines available and the booster shots available to them and for free and everywhere available. every single american, free of charge, and i will keep that commitment. but we need to do more than vaccinate americans. to beat the pandemic, we have to vaccinate the world, as well, and america's leading that effort. we've shipped for free more vaccines to other countries than all other countries in the world combined, over 275 million vaccines to 110 countries. now we need the rest of the world to step up as well. let me be clear. not a single vaccine shot i will always make sure that our people are protected first. this gives us one more tool and how we need to meet our moral obligation as americans. they all emerge

white house correspondent, kimberly how kit has moved. i was, has a lot to do with the timing of the american thanksgiving holiday. this is a holiday.

i was in the army, i was in the intelligence community, i was in the white house, but never in dhs and i have to tell you in all honesty, matt, this is the best job i've ever done and i think the best job in government. and i was going through the government confirmation process, a good friend of mine, used to be the deputy secretary at homeland, jane, said it's interesting in the world of national security, really the world where i spent my time, counterterrorism, intel, the army, the federal government has monopoly power. but in homeland security and really in cyber security, the federal government is just a co-equal partner with the private sector and with our state and local and tribal and territorial colleagues. it's really all about partnership which i love. and you know, every day i probably spend 60 to 70% or more of every day meeting with partners, either in industry or at the state and local level, which, again, is incredibly fun because you're right, it's all about building partnerships, relationships, and trust. so, it's a fantastic job. you know, it's hard to think 100 day

alice got married at the white house. but she was older than -- there was really two kids living in the white house, and that was ethel and quentin and they were there all the time. it was a zoo. a zoo of animals and kids. and tr loved having them coming into the office -- meetings in the office and they would run in and they would interrupt secretaries of stays in order to try to tell their dad about some bug that they found on the white house lawn. >> humanizing, isn't it? and alice married a man who became speaker of the house and so many of us have used the line, if you can't say something nice about somebody, come sit right here next to me. here's another question. roosevelt was the most prolific of presidents who were authors. which of his books is the most significant of his writings? >> that's a good question. and there's no easy answer because he wrote probably 50 books not all original monographs, compilations and things like that. one book stands out to me and that's called the winning of the west which is a th

that that work continue in the white house. this is a historic slate of recommendations and it is remarkable they were developed really within just eight months since our first meeting. i am also extremely -- extraordinarily pleased to report the administration has already begun action online within 80% of the prioritized recommendations. much of that has been achieved through the white house covid-19 response and agencies across -- and hospitals but up and underscoring that. the gap among black, white and latin adults has closed. the latest cdc survey completed at the end of october, from the kaiser foundation, from the pew research center, these data collectively tell the story of what is possible. they can commit to equity at the center. progress was made possible because we called on society to join us and they did. this is a reflection of the work of partners and communities across the country ensuring access, prioritizing vaccination uptake. every step of the way meeting people where they are, leveraging and boosting reso

and the quote successful response from the white house. the sentiment was echoed by national economic advisor, brian d steering appearances on sunday as well. the also told a b c news that the recently signed infrastructure bill would help to stabilize strain supply chains and flow inflation. meanwhile, after consumer prices hit a 13 year high for the euro zone and october, european central bank president christine, the guard admitted it will take longer to decline than originally expected. the concession came during an address to the european parliament economics committee, where her comments suggests that the e c, b, will revise upward, is its expectations for rising prices and put off any interest rate hikes in the coming years. so what is the take away from all of these wranglings? rising prices? well joining that discuss is octavio mirandi. he's ceo of optimist. l l c. now octavio, i want to start with the us. it seems like gallon is trying to say all of this is due to the pandemic, which we've obviously heard for over a year and a ha

and pressure built on the white house to deal with the record immigration crisis there as thousands more migrate set off from southern mexico for the u. s. border. ah, and i live from moscow, this is art international, just turned 1 in the morning on sunday, here in moscow. here's the news for this hour. seems to have been a weekend to protest across europe 1st to the austrian capital skirmishes there on saturday. at a protest, attracting tens of thousands against imminent cobit restrictions. ah, saturdays really came after austria became the 1st to you nation to extend the lock down to the entire population. it starts this coming monday. police grappled with demonstrators who attacks and through objects at them. offers will also be the 1st in the block to make inoculation mandatory, all round a staff in a few months time. peter oliver was at the protest and sent this report. so you can see dennis ations here is they come into the final stages lighting the flesh behind us. these demonstrations coming out to say, go to the austrian government policies. when it comes to coven 19 with glimp

the white house has hosted mexican president, but that's a shame in the spotlight. i will tell you how it went just after this. ah oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed? what will make you feel safe for isolation, whole community? are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend, who join us in the depths, or remain in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alex simon short, but i'll be speaking to guess on the world of politics, sport, business. i'm sure business, i'll see you then. oh, welcome back. now, amid the ongoing migration crisis in the united states, joe biden has hosted talks of the leaders of mexico and or say canada. and it was the 1st try that for summit, between the leaders of those countries in 5 years, but it didn't really produce any major breakthroughs. meanwhile, a caravan of about $3000.00 migrants, mostly from central america and haiti, herself from southern mexico and his heading towards the us border. that while mexi

. >> we're talking at the white house historical association's presidential site summit, the first visit, and the first time they sponsored it. how associated are you with presidential descendants, how much work do you do in that area? >> i have been going to missouri for a few years to meet with some of the other presidential descendants. we gather there for a cherry blossom festival. there's usually a panel of presidential descendants. and it's a lot of fun. we talk about how we are descended from our presidents, and what it's like to be a descendant and how we sort of carry on the legacy. that is about all i have done so far. >> so what is it like to be a presidential descendant? >> it is like having a double identity for me. i'm a stay-at-home mom. i do a lot of volunteer work. my every day life, i work with my school, and then there are special events that come up that allow me to travel and meet some really unique people which i'm forever grateful for. other descendants. other just people of importance in various walks of life. not so many politicians but some leaders and that kind

will this putting more pressure on the white house that its handling of the crisis is? caleb morgan explained biden in his team, say they're on top of the immigration issue, working with other countries to find a solution that's not enough for sheriffs in 17 states calling to fire the homeland security secretary of to witnessing the disaster of the past several months. and listening to the continued rhetoric and intellectual dishonesty from 6 to my yoke of the western states, sheriff association and its membership mustang frantically states opposition of having no confidence in the ability of the sick to my august and his leadership within the department of homeland security. to affect any positive outcome on this matter. they say that the real issue is that the united states can't control its borders and that officials are out of touch with the real crisis on the ground. on land security chief, even admits he doesn't have key data on migrant crossings. how about this? how many deaths, how many illegal aliens have died crossing a legally under the united states. under j

the white house is starting to be concerned about this. the president talked about lifting wages. they have signed on and endorsed his economic agenda. his infrastructure bill has some of that in there. they have short-term questions about all the inflationary concerns. caroline: it sounded like he was making a case for transitory inflation. he was trying to push back against the. we are in the midst of the hustle. is it likely he will get this? >> it is a great question. it makes it harder. it was that inflationary pressure. too much spending right now. the economy is running too hot. senator manchin came out today and said it is not transitory. those are words to whitehorse -- white house doesn't want to use. transitory is a temporary word. senator manchin over the summer was talking about a strategic pause. i wonder if it is going to slow down what is happening in washington. it will be a big day for the administration. that second part of the agenda. there will be a lot of hurdles. caroline: the focus as to who will produce all of these chips that we need here the united state

apparently the white house was involved in the decision in some degree. >> you were there and when first you sized those teammates of yours, i wonder what your first reactions were to the group. >> i wanted to know where these guys came from. several of them have been involved in the preliminary selection process so i was genuinely familiar with that background. glenn of course i had known before and because of our navy connections so i knew there was a lot of talent and i knew that it was going to be a tough flight to win the prize. >> between the seven of you. >> it was an interesting situation. because as i said i was friendly with several of them and on the other hand, realizing that i wasn't competing with these guys so there was always a sense of caution i suppose particularly about technical things. in the bar of course everything changed, but in talking about technical things it was always a sense of maybe a little bit of reservation not being totally frank with each other because there was a very strong sense of competition. >> let's try to go back over those competitions. >> it

house that he left the white house and he made a decision to the national scary counsel that the top officials on this and if they would not meet in the same room together so they were taking precautions early. ... ... being honest with the public, telling the truth, saying what you don't know and being willing to step up to that and then you tell about two lost weeks when the white house panic over a remark made by low-level agent justice official. come on now. the book if you read very carefully it's very critical of president trump's. am i right? >> the book is critical of the political leadership including the president. i think we can look back at the early history when the president was reluctant to take aggressive steps early and of lost time and were at a point where every week mattered. but ultimately and i met with the president right before the announced the mitigation, ultimately the administration made a decision to do 15 days t show the spread, an unprecedented shutout and the folder with 30 days of slow the spread. clearly they were takingfo decisive steps. >> stop one

access to some, we are told, of the records from the white house. what would they be? 0ur far does this go? we house. what would they be? our far does this go?— far does this go? we understand that these are _ far does this go? we understand that these are memos _ far does this go? we understand that these are memos between. that these are memos between president and presidential aides, telephone records, visitor logs, so it is clear the committee wants to get a picture of who was arriving at the white house, perhaps he was meeting with the president, the kind of conversations he was having in the days leading up to the attack on congress on january the sixth. they will now get those documents. they are likely to be handed over from the officials that are keeping them at the moment on friday unless president trump, former president trump goes back to court and get this in front of an appeal court. that could delay the process. but at the moment this seems to be quite a victory for the congressional committee. i think it is worth reading you a few lines from the judge
