a closed house. most people could not imagine what the white house look like. david: that was one of the highest rated shows on tv at this time. she gave a tour of the white house she had helped restore, but where did she get the money for the restorations. it wasn't taxpayer money? what it come from? douglas: she found money around government to start instituting it. what she did was make it known that this would be a public-private partnership, that we would have a white house historical association. that is why we are celebrating her and we will make sure that the american people got educated on life at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. caughtshow had to have her by surprise. when it aired, the ratings that cvs got, television and not see anything like it. she would go on to win an emmy award for the show and it is that voice she had. that soft, feminine voice in some ways but it had a melodic tone to it. she of course always looked so beautiful in her wardrobe and fashion. became a symbol of modern sophi

it's a lesson for future white houses.have a bad transition and you are late in creating the white house staff, then you're not going to be as successful in getting up and running quickly. >> i would think people looking back on these first 10 0 days would say he had a very ambitious agenda, knew whaet he wanted to accomplish, worked hard, pushed his staff well. >> there were pride points to be sure, but it's not a straight line. >> there were no limits on what i could ask him at that point. the hard part was always trying to get him to not just be in a campaign mode, but be in a presidential mode so he would share with us the burden of decision making, the change in his life since he became president. >> in the original special you'll see maybe we tried things that didn't work out. >> we probably had a little bit of bad luck in some of the low spots of our first 100 days came right at the end. some of the criticism was fair. we made mistakes, there's no question about that. >> he decided i'm going to take on really tough

, the white house pastry chef. it's a reconstruction of the white house in 1800, when president adams was the first resident. and back then it wasn't the a brownuse, it was color. constructed entirely of gingerbread, marzipan, and chalk it, the mortar that holds it all together. he had aid was reconstruction of the white house on blueprint and east piece of gingerbread was put together so that it would all come together. there is actually, if you look closely, there are some fun things, like a little taste of texas here, with an armadillo. you will see the first pets here, including willie the cat. you will also see the humor of our pastry chef with the little sign that says beware of barney, the little white house squirrel underneath. >> seasons greetings, from all >>us at american history tv up next, author james conroy talks about his book, "jefferson's white house: monticello on the potomac," which examines the physical state of the white house during jefferson's presidency and how he utilized the white house a

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

one and a half bath house he's got to move up to the 4 better to bath house. to house the 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 home prices rising from the case shiller index i look at the boundary 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'm a fool the buys it'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

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 have a dramatic 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 add 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 recognition

of affordable housing. it's the essential question we start with each time. we're always looking to find ways to create more affordable units, whether that's through bringing in market rate investment or expanding mohcd funding. this slide outlines few broadways to maximize affordable housing and we're looking forward to a discussion on these. first and most important, increasing funding for the 100% affordable pipeline. we fund our affordable pipeline in the city through a combination of state funds, voter approved bondings, philanthropy, market rate development all in the city's budget through the trust fund. increasing the funding we have available will sort of directly catalyze additional units in many cases. second, we can reduce total development costs, which would allow limited subsidies to build more units. third, expand developer capacity so that we can do more projects, especially in underserved communities. fourth, to further leverage market rate development to increase affordable unit units t ar

"usa today" warned us that "despite medical researchers progress, the vaccine was more than a year away." "national geographic" even told us that achieving a vaccine within "a year to 18 months" would be absolutely unprecedented. these reports deserve their own fact-check. president trump has not only been the optimist, hopeful to achieve a vaccine by years end, he's also been a leader. through operation warp speed, president trump the businessman and the president as the innovator has succeeded. president trump directed military logistics experts at the department of defense. partnering with
