these folks who worked in the white house then knew mrs. nixon, knew how she worked within the white house office. and the departments that were there, thanks to leadership with you, ann armstrong and others, that were very conscious of this burgeoning women's movement. and mrs. nixon, because she's politically astute, realized that the republicans were losing some ground on this. it was the democrats that were proposing legislation and, you know, bills to support women. and she worked very closely with the office of women's issues in the white house to help get more appointments, right? appointments of women in the federal government. and as you said, spoke publicly about women. a woman for the supreme court. she was disappointed that was not the president's decision, of course, and may have expressed that privately to him. but publicly, of course, she supported the president. and that's -- again, i think that was her character and the appropriate way to do it. but she was responding to what was going on in the country. >> and make no -- >>

mr. bloch is also -- there are constitutional differences between the white house and the u.s. capital. finally when we have a cartoon during the bush administration, george w. bush administration, mr. bloch believes strongly in separation of church and state. he believed that funding for religious groups violated that. one way he depicted it, of course, is by showing the newspaper headline. the guy rolling his eye and looking at the steeple of the white house emphasized the point that mr. bloch believed that george w. bush had a strong affiliation with religious groups. christian religious groups in particular. one of the issues that mr. bloch -- mr. block drew -- he really believed african-americans deserved an equal chance and equal opportunity. eight years after the board of education, which was supposed to desegregate the public schools and universities, and give everybody an equal education, in 1962 he pointed out that still was not the case. there were states in the country that still chose to shutter their public schools. we have an african-american girl holding a birthday cake,

our jon ferro yesterday spoke with strick kudlow of the white house -- mr. e white house. larry: there might've been some glitches here and there. secretary mnuchin has done a good job over treasury working with sba. on the whole, judging how fast that $350 billion went out the door, went out the window, i think it is a good program. my view, we are stepping up into the medium-sized area, but that is principally through the federal reserve cost lending facilities -- federal reserve's lending facilities, and there will be assistance to large, important country does companies that have hardship. it is a solid program. there are always tweaks here and there but the fact that it work so quick we is testament to its efficiency. jonathan: i thought there would be trouble getting money out the door. i was wrong about that, but if a $1 billion company can get access to the paycheck protection program meant for smaller companies, we have a problem. we can make some tweets. -- tweaks. do the likes of shake shack, does not get access to funds of small businesses? follow
