the white house? well the theory of restoration and preservation, is that by restoring and preserving the past we can make certain that we don't make that were made in the past and we can learn and do better citizens for the future. that's the whole theory of history why we study history. it's to learn from the past make certainly don't make the same mistakes and do better at going forward. now the human brain has not yet evolved such that when you see a picture of the white house or a picture of any historic building, it's the same as actually visiting it you can look at the picture of the white house and get some sense of what it's all about, but it's not the same as a visiting it and therefore if you preserve it more people want to visit it what people want to see what this white house is about and therefore our citizens flock to see it all the time and they should and it's possible to make this white house better because we can provide the resources through the white house historical association t

one of the things to remember is that life at the white house and work at the white house doesn't stop planning for and executing a state dinner. there are still a lot of other things going on. still other visits, other work that is happening at the white house, as conferences may be going on. you have to work around all of that to be ready for state dinner game day. what is really interesting i never was worried because i knew so many of the details were reviewed over and over again. i think you worry about things like the arrival ceremony, if there is inclement weather and you have to change things. that is something you can't control. the things that we can control, we didn't worry about it much. outdoor events and outdoor activities can be fraught with peril. rain, snow, whatever it might be. those are the things that we worry about, what you can't control. >> [indiscernible] ♪ >> ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, the president of the united states and dr. biden. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> foreword!

at the white house? and i have to say, it's pretty personal. i feel very lucky. and i was a pretty spoiled little girl at christmas time. and the fact that my mom would put up nine christmas trees every year. and so in 2004, i was lucky enough to be a guest at the white house. and at a holiday party. and i was just absolutely blown away by how beautiful, obviously the white house is, but especially at christmas time. and so the next morning, i went to go buy a book on the subject and there wasn't one. and the white house is such a great way to study american history. the home is roughly as old as our nation. and so it really is a great metaphor for our country and the things that are going at the on it during the time. so when you think about christmas in america at the early beginning of our republic, it was very much a family event. it was celebrated with friends and family. not all the big decorations we see today in so roughly at the end of the 1800s, we start having the first christmas trees. and so

what can it actually if you're considering as a black person closer to kind of the white oh whiteness at the root of that was it purely color ism or was it just that they felt they were just not enough, you know, respectability or was it a mixture of both? i think it's a mixture of both. think it was colourism? i think it was a mixture. it this idea of respectability all costs so much so that there's these these letters that go through the brothers about criticize using black dc because and blaming black -- dc as they called it of course themselves are black, but accusing -- dc of losing clout amongst white dc because too many them don't present themselves well in public. and these are real conversations they're having amongst each other. and frank is having his congregation. and so it's colourism it from the fact that their whole were built around a necessity. nancy was raising to think of themselves as exceptional because how was she supposed to raise in the shadow of the graham family in the horrendous sort of circumstances in charleston? so what hope if we look at somebody like th

discriminatory to white people. you only have to reflect for a second to realize how absurd that very notion is. we are talking about people who have literally been enslaved, who have literally been not allowed to accumulate property, to vote, to get an education in many cases, to do anything that could allow them to progress, and now we are getting concerned because we made minimal efforts in that direction that it will disadvantage whites? whatever you think of the specific policies, that is just idiotic thinking. we have examples of that idiotic thinking that flow-through history whenever there has been an attempt on a group basis to try and elevate people. there has been a huge push back to it, certainly in the wake of reconstruction when the across the south and elsewhere, but mostly across the south, blacks were fundamentally in most cases denied the right to vote. it was seen as taking measure -- taking action against measures that had gone too far. mississippi was praised in 1899 when it came up for literacy

fear white grievance, white resentment. and so now it's seems to me that's about all the republican party has left the politics of of racism white grievance and resentment. and we will talk more about that as. the conversation goes on. thank you for you. you quoted edgerton as saying, quote, the south and the nation are not exchanging strains as much as they are exchanging sins, unquote. please us what he meant and yours and cynthia's work expands upon it. i think john believed, as we, that the south south has always been epicenter of american because it was the epicenter of american slavery. chattel slavery in country going all the way back to colonial. and john felt like the south was kind of in a very toxic way exporting that metastasizing that to the rest of the country as john was looking at things in 1974 when he was writing his book. and i have to say that at the time he wrote that i thought he was the case, if not just flat out wrong, because i was looking at other signs. linwood holton, the republican governor virg

the white house and media are already playing games. get ready, the oversight chair also digging in. >> joe biden promised the americans that he would be the most transparent president in history and i could make a strong case he is the least transparent president in history. we're supposed to provide oversight and root out waste, fraud, abuse and mismanagement in the federal government. joe biden has blocked us at every turn and surely everyone has seen by now over the past years the democrats haven't provided any oversight. we're trying to do our jobs. >> molly: first we go to jacque heinrich traveling with the president live in st. croix. to you, jacque. >> good morning, molly. the way the white house sees it, republicans while they are in the minority have very little oversight authority. and no real oversight can come until they are officially in the majority. now one of the white house's top oversight lawyers is pointing all the way back to the reagan administration and saying that the congress doesn't delegate oversight authority

that is a white supremacy talking point.e white people and people of color, and people in general, aren't learning about the history of racism. and what supremacy, they don't know what they're being hoodwinked. >> i think when you talk about learning to history. and you focus on education as a way of combatting this. how -- i, mean we look at the fight that is happening over discussion raisman classrooms. the way we talk about history here in our country. that is being litigated. in many ways, poisoned. by a right wing that is intent on bringing in christian nationalism to the classroom. what is the rest of the country to do in this situation? >> ultimately, i think, when we look at the core of this issue. it is really an issue about power. and policy. and you have white supremacist, and even republicans, who are using bigoted ideas to gain power. so they can institute policy that benefits people like them. and really, we can't be distracted by these bigoted ideas, by racist ideas, tony morrison oftentimes talked about racis

>> well, for many when you talk to folks observing the white house within the white house this policy has somewhat become a sort of stopgap in the void of a sort of consistent functioning plan at the border. title 42 while president biden and even during the campaign committed to unwinding many of the trump era border policies, title 42 was one you didn't hear about as much, even dating back to the campaign. we know that throughout the past two years it's also been a point of tension for immigration advisers and the aides working on the border within the white house. you've had those that have argued it does show a message of deterrence and sends a message that could try to deter a surge at the border, which has also been pretty dubious when you talk to career officials down there. title 42 doesn't exactly stop people from coming, it just prevents them from staying in detention facilities in the u.s. and allows border patrol agents to rapidly turn them away but it doesn't stop people from coming. so when you talk to members of congress, when you see members of congress now also using

it's hard for me to imagine that a town full of white people, middle class white people who had rushed in the water, who got 300, you know that 300 boil. notice that one point that's it doesn't know if you got a lot of water to make sure that it's safe. it's hard for me to imagine that even if there were no fun targeted for this, that the state of mississippi wouldn't find funds for middle class white people thing where they would find in michigan, pennsylvania or california or anywhere else. i mean, it's the fact that you're going to make the case that it's your money seems to me almost beside the point is not only beside the point, it would be unheard of because these are issues of humanity. these are circumstances that we would find, you know, just lacking the basic human dignity that people deserve. and so this is why we're speaking to that. you know, we are taking out state revolving loan funds that, that in other states there are principal interests, forgiveness that are far beyond what the state of mississippi provides. one of the, the f r f, loan state revolving loan funds that
