and the nsc lawyers came back and said you have to say u.s. persons. you can't say the american people. which is of course, ridiculous. but there are just these considerations that are just different from foreign policy. >> a piece of trivia. when the president of the united states goes abroad, all of the public remarks he's going to make on that trip, whether it's two days or ten, those are all done and cleared and approved before air force one leaves the united states. so it is a real crunch for speech writing before. >> please tell us your name. >> as a former resident of south carolina, and charleston, i would like to hear you elaborate on his decision to sing amazing grace. >> do you know cody's story about this? go for it. >> we will tell our boss's story. i wasn't involved in writing the charleston speech, and i wasn't there. our director of speech writing tells the story that they were actually on the plane, heading down there, and the president said there's a fifty fifty chance i will sing. i think it was probably in the moment that he felt th

that's a stunning ... >> i think the nsc was because matt was trying to get them back here but i don't think the agency really were acting urgently. >> which include cdc in that? >> you know, i don't know what the cdc was thinking that time but i can tell you they did not prepare the country for countrywide pandemic that was evident already in china. and what do i mean by that? getting the data streams that you needed. bringing in the commercial cow, laboratory developers. it's great that they were done with a public health lab that we know public health labs. they're not what we call high throughputlaboratories . the laboratories were in general platforms that could do a handful or less than 100 tests a day o. we were going to need millions of tests a day so we had to bring on boardare commercial laboratories . until nancy made that comment at the end of february, i don't know if we were worried about. >> just so our audience knows, senior official at cdc . >> when nancy said she was worried but that was the end of february. i was worried six weeks earlier. i wasn't here. i didn't wat

she and i served from aig to active-duty but in her chapter, only 50 people in staff of the nsc when brent scowcroft was in charge. under president obama there were 400. that is how much it increased. she said the quality of people, all of them being cabinet members, 4-star generals, presidents of universities, condoleezza rice, a lot of what george bush is so good about is this huge network he built deliberately and that came out in the book. >> is something i to get to. and other personal angle, when bush 41, had the honor of visiting him at kennebunkport. pause for a moment and photos capturing moments of his presidency and found myself over and over, i had forgotten, that came back to me as i read this book, each chapter, in the presidency many of which have been forgotten or not fully appreciated. all the things that occurred during the bush 41 presidency lost to the mists of time, maybe everybody looks and thinks it was inevitable but this is to both of you, each of you what do you think in terms of accomplishments or wins is appreciated these days that bush 41 pulled together

and i wouldn't have had any of the professional opportunities i've had in governmentworking at the nsc and getting to be an ambassador .love the program, congrats to those of you who've been part of it and i hope to have similar catalytic affects in repudiating and that's knowledge to, toknow where you feel you can make a difference . sometimes there are 1000 ways to do so and i hope we will talk about some of the collaborations between the public and private sector . look, there late in so many ways. for starters just any government right now including here at home that is enduring high fuel prices, higher fuel prices. writ large sort of texts of inflation that is inherently very very challenging in our government. we are a developed nation and president biden and his domestic team today are thinking through what are the new tools that we should bring to bear but imagine if your toolkit was a little more barren than ours is. imagine if you had no physical space, imagine if you were alreadyhighly indebted to china . imagine if you had been elected as is the case in a few examples. zamb

as you can see, nsc staff believed that mogul, the president, was, quote, going to the capitol.finding the best route now. from these chats, we also know the staff learned of the attack on the capitol in realtime. when president trump left the ellipse stage at 1:10, the staff knew that rioters had invaded the inaugural stage and capitol police were calling for all available officers to respond. when republican leader kevin mccarthy heard the president say he was going to the capitol, he called you, miss hutchinson. isn't that right? >> that's correct. >> and in this text message, you told tony ornodo, quote, mccarthy just called me, too, and do you guys think you're coming to my office? tell us about the call that day with leader mccarthy during the president's speech on the ellipse. >> i was still in the tent behind the stage, and when you're behind the stage, you can't really hear what's going on in front of you. so when mr. mccarthy called me with this information, i answered the call, and he sounded rushed but also frustrated and angry at me. i was confused because i didn't

i wouldn't have met any of the professional opportunities i've had incumbent working at the nsc, getting to be an ambassador and now running the same. love the program. for those of you been part of it and hope it has that sort of similar catalytic effects. that's knowledge, to know where you feel you can make a difference. there's 1000 ways to do so and hope we'll talk about some of those collaborations between the public sector and private sector over this session. look, they are linked in so many ways. for starters just any government right now, including here at home, that is enduring high fuel prices, higher food prices, writ large assorted effects of inflation, that is inherently very, very challenging as a matter of governance. we are a very developed nation and president biden and his domestic team each day thinking through what are the new tools we can bring to bear. well, imagine if your toolkit was a little more barren than ours is. imagine if you had no physical space. if you had were already highly indebted to china. imagine if you again elected as is the case in just to giv
