and i think that's what happened this past summer with the george white process. but i also think that that is really indicative of the power of community building and coalition building that we're seeing with the jazzy and millennial generations. so just to be care your seeing that off generation is not more politically active, but what we're doing is we're using digital to stew tools to organize in ways the generations before didn't have the opportunity. absolutely correct. samuel, how would you respond to that? i agree wholeheartedly with that, i think you look just at the sheer number of protests that occurred since the ferguson uprising in 2014 and then again after the murder of george floyd in minneapolis, it's the scale that this nation has never seen before. you know, we have in terms of organizing, you know, we're learning from organizing all across the world and figuring out how to use limited resources. but access to technologies, access to a phone, access to twitter, that just allow us to go further to go faster, to organize more quickly and at a scale

a fellow, the name of george white anger went to school one day in in austria in october. of 1938. he went to school on a monday morning. he was into the principal's office. now, i don't know about you, but every time i was called into principal's office, it was never good. never, ever good. well, it wasn't for him either, because when he went to the principal's office in the school, the principal. you can no longer attend school. well, that was a shock. but then he was told the which because he was jewish. well, that was a shock as well because unbeknownst to him his parents had had become christian before he was born. they had they had and they were no longer jewish. but because of the situation at the time he was considered jewish, so he had a double shock. he couldn't attend school and he was jewish. eventually he and his family were able to immigrate to the united states. they settled cleveland. he eventually able to join the army and he was one person in the story that i'm going to tell you about a second man by the name of rudy pins two years earlier who lived in germany. he

final question but i'm going to turn to ron christy using a board member of the btc with the george w white house he teaches at georgetown and cornell and new york university. and you are teaching the subject so jump in. >> thank you very much and i want to thank the congressman wherever he's hiding out somewhere in the back for his hospitality and congratulations to ed and celinda for their awesome new book. one of the things we talked about in our class which is the american presidency is the notion in the federalist papers that what did madison fear the most about political parties. they didn't want to political parties to have a significant impact and specifically he talks about factions and i look back to that part of our american history and i would love to hear from the two of you are we not now in a situation where factions seem to rule the roost? >> we will start with you. >> i think it goes back to the point ed made that you already thstarted because one of the things, and i'm a liberal idemocrat not just a democratic that i'm a progressive. as i said to the students i socialists.

most of them is the very first time setting foot in the white house and it's kind of cool and george santos did not show up. one possible reason is, they check i. d. s at the white house. in fact, for scheduled visits like, that you have to phone in your birthday it and social security number to the secret service so they can run a background check on you to make sure it's okay to let you through the gate of the white house. it is very unlikely that the name george santos but social security number he would give and the birth date he would give would produce a background check that would make the secret service 100% comfortable with letting that guy through the white house gate. first of all, what is his real name? he has used the last name devolved or, many times. he is use the first name anthony. and one thing the secret service really wants to know about you when you show up, at the gate of the white house, is that you are who you say you are. we can only imagine george santos's reaction when he was told that if he did want to go to the white house he would have to give them his bi

in george floyd, there was an asian involved. rodney king, all cops were white. most of george floyd the cops were white. will the community feel the same outrage? what happened here? the scorpion unit, i don't think they're really focused on organized crime as much as ordinary street crime. they ride around, look for crimes being committed. they see this poor man, tyre nichols, at a traffic stop. there's some kind of confrontation. the young man runs away. the cops run after him. they catch him. the body came will make clear what the -- what this drama as it unfolded, what really happened. but i think that it will be interesting to see whether -- with the race factor removed, as it should be. i've spoken to some officers. i know one particular ranking officer here in cleveland. i said should this make any difference? will this make any difference? a white man, i should say. he says yes, it will make a difference. memphis is the town that has been wrought since martin luther king with racial strife, with the police department. they bent over backward to try to int

complicated issue and not changing in part because you can go back to -- i covered the clinton white house and the georgeen this was front and center. and the -- it's a complicated issue because it's been part of the dysfunction of washington for so long. there were pictures of the president when he got to texas. the republican governor met him. and the republican governor handed the president of the united states a letter in which he said you should detain everybody who illegally crosses the border, you should fully enforce that title 42 which is turn them back, psyching style, let them file -- asylum, let them file injuries where. name mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. this was an opportunity for a constant critic of the president to polylightly and respectfully say this is what i want you to do, sir. is there any chance, maybe not with the congress, the governors, is there any chance or are we in this political standoff? >> i think we're this a political standoff. i think there is a reason, as you said, this has not gotten done. people are dug in on all sides. and it's something

but i'm going to turn to ron christie, who is a new member of the deep sea, a veteran of the george w bush white house. he teaches at georgetown and cornell and new york university in new york university. and you're teaching subject. so jump in, steve. thank you very much. and i want to thank congressman delaney wherever he's hiding out somewhere the back for his hospitality and to ed melinda for their awesome new book. one of the things that we talk about in our class, which is the american president, is the notion in, the federalist papers, that what did madison fear the most about political parties. they did not want political parties have a significant impact in the new nation and specifically he talks in federal paper number about factions and i look back to that part of our history and i'd love to hear from the two of you of are we not now in a situation where factions seem to rule the roost and we'll start with you i think we'll start with man okay i think it goes back to a point ed made you actually already started because. one of the things that and am a liberal democrat i'm not just a

for answers let's turn to ron christie, republican strategist who worked in the white house of georgebush. how did we get here? >> how we got here is an impasse between congressional republicans and democrats to find a common ground with ho much the full faith in government should be here in the united states. republicans say they want spending cuts. democrats don't want any conditions to raising the debt ceilg. hence the impasse. laura: who is going to blink first? the white house or the republicans? we have divided government. >> in my experience having worked for congress and the white house, the president of the united states as more of a bully pulpit, he can go and say look at what these pesky republicans are doing, look at how it will impact interest rates in american life. that being said, we have divided government and republicans think that in the house of representatives we have leverage. there will be saber rattling between now and what i believe will be sometime in june and at the latest early july to resolve the impasse. laura: looking specifically at republicans, what ar

morning, there are new indications of legal troubles for embattled freshman congressman george santos. abc's whitese correspondent maryalice parks is here now with the details on that. maryalice, tell us what you're learning. >> reporter: yeah, janai, we could be seeing the first signs that congressman george santos is, in fact, facing a criminal investigation. "the washington post" overnight reporting that the justice department asked the federal election commission to hold off on taking any actions against santos with campaign finance violations as the justice department conducts its own criminal probe. we know that back in december, federal investigators were looking into his public campaign filings. there have just been so many questions about his finances. in 2020 when he first ran for congress, he listed a salary of $55,000, but then in 2022 he claimed he owned millions of dollars in assets, and he first reported that he had loaned his campaign over $700,000, but then just this week he amended those forms to suggest that maybe that money for his campaign was not actually from personal funds.

things in a district that the president carried and george santos is an easy one given everything but i had some initial conversations with people in the whitetalking about george santos to work with because maybe republicans knew about this. i'm not sure the white house did and santos said some things that were, yeah, i'm open to working with this administration on some things and there's optimism about working with him but now he's a laughingstock. >> he was an unconventional republican. most of the stuff wasn't true. this is the interview that raised eyebrows. confronted about where he got the money. listen. >> one of the principle critiques is a lot of money was donated from you. where did it come from? >> not china, ukraine. i have never been accused of any bad doings. so it is my -- it is the equity of my hard working self and invested inside of me. >> i have invested inside of me myself. look at this and what we were talking about in terms of financing. in 2020 he made about $55,000. that's fard to 2022. $750,000. looking at a list of assets he did not have in 2020 potentially millions of dollars? these are real serious questions. i i

george. well, that you just turned white all over your handkerchiefs. irst take an x-ray, and then we will go to the lake. why what time? yesterday i found out, i'm even george yet didn't say, okay? at least they told me. okay, let's limit ourselves. all ultrasound. now turned out to be a guitar. i understand that your life is complete. wait, stop stop ilya hundred. you are already running away all the time, as if you are mocking me. elijah, you are wrong. we really need you. you are afraid that the bones will throw you, so you set me up. it's not true, it's not true. i wanted to install you, vilyusha. i want to live with my grandparents. they need me. and you don't need me. i know that you want your child. why are you talking like that? what are you do you allow yourself? you are still a little boy. i'm an adult, why am i running after you all the time? why are you mocking me? let's go don't worry. we will now transfer you to the ward and prepare you for the operation. what will be the suggestions. listen, what if you just take and unscrew this drill of

and now margaret hoover is with me, host of firing line on pbs and a staffer at george w. bush white house. margaret, let's start where evan ended reporting that obviously special counsel had been recommended, but it was the handling this week that they did not disclose all the documents when the first batch came to light, that according to his source sort of tipped the -- tipped the scales here for garland to go the direction of a special counsel. >> they -- merrick garland almost had no choice but to appoint a special counsel in the sense he has a former president who's being investigated in a documents case. in order to even have the appearance of handling this and the appearance of a fair and flat playing field he had to appoint a special counsel. there are a couple of things. first of all, it doesn't bring great comfort that joe biden thinks his documents are in great shape buzz the corvette is there and he really loves the corvette, so government secrets are in good shape. >> a slip of the tongue wasn't the best moment. >> perhaps not the best moment. but one thing that really

white house correspondent mary bruce. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. end that more documents have been found republicans and some defense are demanding more transparency. this morning, questions about president biden's handling of classified information are growing. >> are you willing to be interviewed by the special counsel? >> reporter: after news this weekend that even more classified material was discovered at his delaware residence. the white house lawyer confirming he found five more pages of classified information last thursday while he was working with the justice department. white house counsel said biden's lawyers have acted immediately and voluntarily with justice department officials taking possession of all six pages. >> there's an ongoing process and we have spoken when it's appropriate. >> reporter: classified documents from biden's time vice president were first discovered in early november. but sources tell abc news that the documents discovered at wilmington, delaware, home, were the tipping point for the attorney general merrick garla

the republican party and the country, we are joined by ron christie who worked in the white house of president georgesh. is kevin mccarthy going to be the next speaker? >> no. i have been saying this on the bbc for the last six weeks. i have worked at the for nearly nine years and i have never seen anything like this. happy new year to you. never seen anything like the republicans or democrats not coalescing around their leader. the presumptive leader to take charge and take the gavel. there are a lot of conservatives who don't trust kevin mccarthy. to are a lot of moderates who think he is too conservative. when you need 218 votes and this is what our viewers need to understand, you need 218 votes which is a majority of the house of representatives. not republicans, not democrats but a majority of the house. at this juncture after the third apparent defeat, i don't see how he is going to get it. >> what kind of face is the republican party presenting to the american people who just gave thecontrol of the u.s. house of representatives? >> a very embarrassing one. yoknow my wife jennifer. jennifer and

george. show me where the white is. well done. va is already calling his mother's new roommate dad. pope alexander what will affect this, that it is somehow unpleasant for me. well, that’s what he calls a child to dads, but you would, well, as it were, he’s actually a stepfather, if anything, well, they say, the parents of the child’s stepfather, you are nobody to him and you are a stranger uncle. well, if you if you took part, you would have some kind of trust, then it would be completely different for you. you are friends with your head in general, i will install it in order to adopt, and for a start, alexander should be deprived of parental rights after six months. we are legally allowed to adopt a child. what should be the grounds for alexander to live parental rights, malicious evasion of alimony, threats to the life and health of the child, or the wife of a disease in which, uh, dad is physically unable, but to play the role of a father, what i see alexander wants to communicate with yes, yes, anna wants to raise her child wi

george bush. in the ford white house he makes us break sort of the fdr legacy. the regulation of telecommunications of transportation of the airlines , this begins with the ford administration to the 1990s. they need biographies of ford. i will throw a ploy out there we can anticipate next year through norton smith publishing a lengthy biography for the summer of next year. >> terrific want to make sure you get a chance to answer some of them. the florida family is the common question we have a presidential library. our family members involved with the library, the museum and if so how? >> they are. they got more involved of course after president ford passed away in mrs. ford passed away in 2011. marty allen had been the longtime chairman started about that time. jack ford became the chairman of the ford foundation. at the library and the museum for a few years. and then steve ford for a while. i'm sorry mike ford is the chairman right now. susan plays she is part the uss gerald r ford. she is active in many of the programs we have. exhibits have been very supp

that this was not your typical first lady biography in the story that george shultz told me that nancy reagan impromptu to the white house in the middle of a blizzard to have dinner, two couples upstairs in the white house it sounded like a social invitation george shultz was new in his tenure he had only been secretary of state for ten months, he didn't really know the reagans all that well and he had just gotten back from a long trip overseas that included a stop in china and dinner progresses the reagan's, both of them start peppering him with questions about the chinese leaders and do they have a bottom line and do they have a sense of humor and what makes them tick and beyond that they start talking about the soviet union and away from the hardliners in the typical national security council meetings begins to realize something about ronald reagan which is that this man has never had a conversation with the big-time communist leader that he is dying to have one and he has really thought about this a lot, he's very confident in his own abilities of the negotiator but then scholz realizes something else which is

in the story george scholz at all about nancy reagan summoning impromptu to the white house the middle of a blizzard to have codinner, just before them two couples observed the white house, sounds like a social invitation. george scholz was pretty new at his tenure at london secretary months. for seven so we did not really know the reagans all that well. he'd just gotten back from a long trip overseas that included a stop ins china. and as the dinner progresses the reagans, both of them start peppering him with questions chinese leaders, do they have a bottom line? do they have a sense of humor? what makes them tick? start talking about the soviet union and scholz, away from the hardliners having typical national security council meetings begins to realize something about ronald reagan which is that this man that he's dying to have one. thought about this a lot he's very confident in his own ability as a negotiator. and scholz realized something else this dinner invitation was not a social invitation. that's right going to get them along with the president so he can begin to understand

i would like to get a exam done, about how george washington might fund the white house in 2023.e we are with this. this is going to change things for a lot of people number one. the faster we can get up to the idea that something really amazing in front of us and at the same time, something really, potentially debttry mental is in front of us -- detrimental. it can be two things at the same time, something really amazing and something absolutely horrendous we never even imagined. pete: yes. >> the problem, pete. there are no guardrails. you're leaving safeguards up to geeks inventing this stuff. sky is the limit. there is some good to that. that is how we innovate in this country. there is real danger when there is simply nothing stopping somebody from doing, well, next one. pete: it has effectively artificial brain of its own. i mean i have talked to folks, i have not used chatgpt yet, tried it out, that it ends to pump out a left-wing answer for you, kurt. go ahead. >> you got it, got to try it because when you do this, that is when your mind will absolutely say, holy bananas

david: after the george floyd murder, i thought many people in the white business community said we have to do much more to get blacks on boards. has that happened? bob: the sad secret is while white companies have announced they will put $1 million into diversity and investment in black businesses, among the people i know and a lot of people say i got that there and other places, it is not really happening. i saw something in the media that said there has been something like $50 billion of pledges made, but less than 5% of that has ever been implemented, and to me, it is a real sad story, because it is not happening. and i would know, because no one has called me, and i have been successful, as you know, and the only one that i am most proud of is the partnership i created with vanguard, fidelity, and one other entity to create a business called portability network, whose sole purpose is to keep black americans reduced cashing out of 401(k) accounts when they change jobs. those two or three companies but their commitment to diversity and opportunity and closing the wealth gap in a relat

president biden is demanding that congress pass federal police reforms with the white house underscoring the george floyd policing act. >> this bill would update nationwide standards. it would require that other officers always intervene if they witness excessive force. police reform legislation does remain a divisive issue on capitol hill. some lawmakers, though, say they won't give up. it's congress's responsibility to now have a consistent policy. >> to help police departments across america recruit the right kind of people and make sure that in this nation of law and order that every person's life is worthy. we have real problems in this country. we need focus on real solutions. that means republicans and democrats coming to the table to keep the good policing their jobs and keep our community safe. >> speaker kevin mccarthy has not said at this point if he will reopen police reform negotiations. another big story we're following for you tonight. disturbing new video released of the attack on paul pelosi taking place in his san francisco home back in october. the footage, you know, shows chilli

i think they are still protesting the george floyd incident. and it's all whiteing there and san francisco, even elon musk is looking around like what in the world are we doing locating twitter here and they just keep getting worse. this is what happens when there is no opposition. when there's no regulation. you got people just literally eating other people's faces at the subway. this is what happens when woke, white people aren't able to be opposed by anyone. >> jesse: woke white people the greatest threat to western civilization. >> amen. they really are. they're the worst. >> jesse: they're the worst. we're going to have to do something about these woke white people. you and i have got to come up with something and take care of. >> it i'm on the case. i'm all about it. thank you. >> jesse: i hope no one eats your beautiful face, clay. that would be a damn shame. thank you. >> indeed. >> jesse: moving on from one mess to another. no secret washington has been a little more chaos continuing than usual. two days into a i couldn't congress still don't have a hous

so the black officers, the asian officers, as was in the george floyd case, they just adopt all the white racist attitudes. i don't fully believe in the funding the police, but i do believe that there should be a more holistic approach. that many of the things that the police departments are engaged in doing sucks that she is pre textual stops, which means traffic stops where the person really hasn't done anything illegal. they may not have a they may have a missing tail, right? they may not have a sticker, it may be something really very minor, but they're not being stop for drunk driving or reckless driving in the majority, those cases, most black people end up being disproportionately killed. and that doesn't happen for white people. and more importantly, black people are less likely in these stops less likely to have any illegal, contraband substances or guns. white people are more likely that just supports the fact that the police do not need to even be engaging in those particular stops in there's a whole list of activities that the police do not need to engage in too long to get in
