and they live in the big corner house here, and the office is two houses down. so dolly has to recreate an appropriately presidential space that will in some way come close to what she's had at the white house in this rented townhouse where they live for the rest of the presidency. i'm actually writing an article right now on how she does that, so stay tuned. this house survived into the 1970s. here it is in the early 1900s. this is the 1970s. it's for sale and it's got a people's drugstore on the ground floor. then their house is demolished for this building. two of the houses on that row are still there and they've been incorporated and are part of the mexican embassy. and there is a sign talking about the seven buildings. they're known as the seven buildings because it's a row of seven townhouses. only a facade of two survive in the mexican embassy. at the time that james becomes president, they also, for the second time in montpelier add two one-story wings and making the central entrance very grand and beautiful. then they create these really important land

by task the white house and go to the media. funny hearing that now after watching trump being on the media all the time. i was a big step at that time. social media has completely changed how we work. there's no doubt about it. i do think the next president and the president after that, probably not going to be doing things the way president trump does which is announcing policy changes on twitter that his staff doesn't even know about, that is more of a president trump personality than anything else, i don't think that will happen but sure, i do think it plays a huge role both for the white house getting the message out, doing something from social media and not through a formal traditional announcement, however that is in a press release or in the briefing room for whatever that could be something but it also changes how reporters cover things. it is so incredibly competitive, always has been now your competing against people's tweets, who can tweak faster? it's not something that was anticipated before so it has changed how

there was a time when white house pet messed up the plans for the white house cook.involved a dog named links. he was a setter that was on the scene. according to white house reports, on the morning of march 1934, there was 12 sets of fried eggs and ham set out for the resident staff. the white house cook made this and stepped away to do something else. when the cook returned, all of hem were gone. they realized this was because lynx had helped himself to a nice, hearty meal. the press had a lot of fun with this, they staged a photo of links eating ham and eggs off the plate. the cook was upset, so soon after, it was announced that lynx was leaving the white house to spend more time with his family. [laughter] and that paved the way for the more familiar dog, paula. one thing that was interesting about these cooks is that i find -- this plays out in the roosevelt administration -- these cooks fit into three boxes. one is they were culinary artists who are celebrated in their time. if you know anything about the food reputation of the fdr white house, it is not great.

both the appropriators and the house democratic majority did its work. we moved forward appropriations bills. the senate of course continues to be missing in action which is what has led us to this point. and the president is running around living rallies, peddling conspiracy, spending time on the golf course, doing everything but leading. and that's one of the reasons we find ourselves in the situation but i'm confident that in the next few days, currently no later than next week but let's see what happens, steny hoyer sets the calendar and he's indicated to us he will brief us in terms of the progress on wednesday orthursday at the latest . >> on a different topic on the biden transition. [inaudible] there's some push now for marcia to join the administration. is there any concern given the senate majority that these house democrats into the administration would make it tougher to pass legislation because there's going to be some lag to fill their seats even if they are confirmed in theirdistrict . >> there is no concern i've seen expressed. there's a

affordable housing doesn't just support itself affordable housing needs to be supported by the government if we if we get you know come to things and think that magically the market is going to fix this you wind up seeing what we see in the united states that numbers don't have so out we have a minimum wage that hasn't kept up with the cost of living we have had a traumatic disinvestment in in housing supports in most parts of the world housing is something that is supported by governments and we don't really have that to the extent that we need that so i guess i would counter that that the market has failed here that you know the living wage in the bay area where i live right now is that what we call the housing range where people could actually afford very modest housing would be $40.00 to $50.00 an hour we're fighting like heck to get the minimum wage up to $15.00 an hour something has to give and that i think i'm afraid to say is gonna need to federal investment or investment in housing investment in increase in our minimum wage that we pay people the job that they do and the recognit

and eventually build 70,000 houses. 17,000 houses. and do so in a way that is reminiscent of mass production. as you can see here. non-unionized workers would go from house to house and do the same task,oftentimes times very minute, over and over again. they really helped revolutionize the building process. as you can see from this aerial image, they had precut mber that came from the levitt farms. they made these call cry creek concrete slabs and dump the material out and they would quickly build a house. they were able to build a house at a rate exceeding 150 over. a week the result is that the houses were very affordable because they were built so quickly. the earliest model sold for $7,900. it is hard to do economic comparisons to today. but it would probably be something like $85, 000, $90,000 in today's money. it became very affordable for people in the middle class. people start moving in in 1947 to houses that look like this. this is one that is still standing, but the original cape cod style and floor plan. what do you make o

to report the bill favory bli to the house floor -- favorably to the house floor. on the floor the bill goes through debate and amendment before a majority vote that send the bill over to the senate, where the process continues. this is a process that we call regular order. regular order in the house is a standard way of legislating that facilitates extensive participation of members in the deliberative, consensus-based decision making process. more importantly, this is how the framers of the constitution not only intended the house to work, but believe that the house needed to work if the united wases, then in its infancy, to succeed. congress was created in article i of the constitution because the legislative branch, being closest to the people, was necessary -- necessarily the linchpin of american representative democracy. while the framers didn't include in the constitution the rules by which the house or senate would operate, they understood that the way in which the law making process was conducted was critical to the creation of laws that were good for the

, like the white house personnel system. how do you hire people to work at the white house? so it's really building a large corporate headquarters with many subsidiaries in one building or three or four buildings. because the white house complex is, it includes the executive office of the president. there's a lot going on. that's what they should be focusing on right now. and they can do it. it's kind of exciting, though, but you have to keep your head in the game. and one of the challenges you have is, most people who go to work in the white house automatically find that their head grows about four sizes, and you want to remind people that, no, just do the job, be humble in how you do it, and remember that lots of people are -- remember there is lots of people watching. >> john podesta, now i know we have two very critical races in georgia right now, but trying to put that aside, because that's what the biden team is the world we are operating in right now. joe biden and his team, as they're trying to determine their cabine

obviously majority in the house speaker of representatives. the question is what does that look like? and is there enough movements to get an agreement. think what we have seen so far not once but twice with got 52 republican votes in the senate, a majority. if you can pass it in a majority in the senate for a bill that provides funding for vaccines, provides funding for schools. it provides additional assistance front employment insurance. the ppp program which helps small businesses who are struggling in the workers who work there. those we agree upon them insisted up until now on a messaging bill on the order of eight couple comment to and half trillion dollars or thereabouts. it's ours lead not pass in the senate. sign by the president. the question is what can we get to the house, 60 votes in the senate and a presidential signature on. i would hope in the course of the next couple of weeks we are debating the year-end issues we get some agreement on something that hits as basic parameters. like i said, we had all but one republican who vo

if the veto override is in the house, it will go to the senate. the house gavels in at 2:00 p.m. eastern. you can watch live coverage right here on c-span. >> next, former white house chiefs of staff john podesta and the process iscuss of building a new administration. georgetown university students joined the discussion to ask questions. good morning, everybody. i'm executive director of georgetown university's of politics and public ccourt school of public policy. i want to welcome you to today's series of events on transition 2020. we're proud to be partnering together wick to put this what we hope will be an three g and informative part event looking at the year, ion, not just this but looking back over time at typically our -- are conducted. today, we're going to be hearing three different panels, kicking off this morning with a panel on building a new administration, looking at the nuts and bolts of how to put together a new government. in a few hours, at 10:30, we in a few hours at 10:30 we'll reconvene on the confirmation process. and then closing out ths afternoon for co

bill that needed to be passed in the house. and the house passed it, and it will go to the senate. what is in the bill? all members of congress can detour to the white house and engage in an exercise in futility, but what was in this bill? >> it's a massive bill. 5,500 pages. just unveiled this afternoon. the house overwhelmingly passed it in a big bipartisan vote. and it's expected to come to a vote before midnight. this massive proposal has $900 billion in relief, $600 per person, a family of four could get $2,400. and then there are more than $280 million in sma-- billion il business loans. this aids virtually all sectors of the economy in one way or the other. a significant achievement after months of gridlock, partisan stalemates, finally a deal is reached. but it will take a little bit of time to get the paperwork to the president's desk and have him sign it and see relief for the american people. >> thank you so much. >>> i'm joined by james clyburn of south carolina. the house majority whip. good evening. how are you? >

an overwhelming bipartisan majority in the house supports 2000-dollar checks. senate democrats strongly support 2000-dollar checks and even president trump supports 2000-dollar checks. there is one question left today, due senate republicans join with the rest of america and supporting 2000-dollar checks? now some of my republicangu colleagues say they support the checks but there's a major difference in saying you support 2000-dollaro checks and putting them into law. the house bill is the only way, they'll may weigh to deliver the stimulus checks before the end of session. will senate republicans fight for a vote on the house passed cash act or will they look some other way? will senate republicans stand against the house of representatives, the democratic majority in the senate and the president of their own party to prevent these 2000-dollar checks from going out the door? we are about to get the answers to these questions. so now madam president, i ask consent to set the ndaa -- nope, sorry.en madam president, where am i? .. request -- to include unanimous

the house is preearthquake, so that house doesn't have fill in it. but at the front, you can see the grading has been changed. the first is why would you do a soils report in a different location on the site, and two, if there is fill here, which is one of the requirements that the health department requires that when you are doing a boring, you have to get a permit for them, which we haven't been able to document, did they get that required permit. it's to make sure that you know what you're drilling in, is it toxic or not, and generally, from this era, all fill used in the 1915 is presumed to be lead arrest would have lead in it, and the fill could have been from grading of the street or could have been from bringing in grade from another site. but fundamentally, you do a boring right in the front yard where the planter box is. >> supervisor mandelman: you also, i think, are making the argument and have made the argument in some of the papers that there's an essential slope stability issue here? >> yes. the planning department has a lighter map tha

one and a half bath house he's got to move up to the floor better to bath house. to house a car just kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and it's just all on fake valuations. yeah at that point the home did absolutely become a vehicle for excess prices rising from the case shiller index i look at it on there and i say yes this looks good it's much better than expected you look at the number and say. nobody knows where home prices are going to do. people are increasingly speculative when they buy a house a major concern is how much can i sell this to someone else at the other end it can be called the greater fool theory maybe i am a fool dubai's that's a big house but i'm going to. to an even greater fool. there were people who thought 50 or 100 years ago that home prices should decline with. the reason is they wear out. don't expect to gain the expected to lose value that was a common view in the past. we have come as a society to place a tremendous amount of value on the home itself. and the bigger the home the be
