it all happened in the white house. she worked with jeffrey been -- geoffery beene on the dress. >> bush got married in texas and she wanted something away from the limelight of the white house. shortly after the invitations went in the mail, she called me and said, i think we have a problem. she said, crawford is so small. even very few relatives are being invited. the bush family is enormous. she said, we will need to have a separate reception. it was a private event at the white house a month after jenna was married. we had a reception where she was with the more extended family and school teachers she had taught with. they re-created the wedding cake and the flowers. we all agreed that she should not wear her wedding down because it was a reception. we re-created the event at the white house for the reception. it was a lovely event. many numbers. >> we did a wedding in the white house. it was secretary clinton's brother. tony got married to nicole boxer, the daughter of barbara boxer. the only -- the biggest challeng

what is the white house afraid of? why wouldn't you be afraid of changes made to be compliant with the goals of the hatch act? i expect the committee will reject president obama's 0 cert agses that the -- assertions at the white house did not extend this to democrats when they were in the majority. the president's decision to ignore a lawful subpoena is a clear attempt to impede what we believe to be our clear responsibility. my colleagues in the minority can express the pn that they do not think oversight of this administration is legitimate. but if they express the again that they believe oversight is legitimate, can there be anything more basic than the committee charged with overseeing the hatch act asking the questions, how do we revent violations of the hatch act under this administration not only at the level of the president and first lady, but at the level of cabinet officers. no chairman of either party would do different or less than i am doing here today or he or she would be slinging from their responsibili

johnson moved into the white house at a difficult time. the clintons moved into the white house after a triumphant campaign and a huge inaugural and parades and so forth. the johnsons moved into the white house after tragedy in dallas that killed president kennedy. that was something that both the president and mrs. johnson were very sensitive to. i remember mrs. johnson saying if linden could pull down all the stars in the sky and make a necklace for jackie, he would make it happen. she was constantly asked, when would she be moving into the white house? and she said, there are not a lot of things i can do for mrs. kennedy, but at least i can serve her convenience. they were a couple weeks before they moved into the white house. mrs. kennedy asked the johnsons if she could continue running the nursery school. anyway, the kennedys were running a nursery school. for the little ones. and the johnsons said, lease continue that, as long as it is convenient for you. that was the -- so they moved into a house that was covered in black crepe. so i

what is the white house afraid of? why would you not be proud of changes made to be compliant with the goals of the hatch act? i expect the committee will ject president obama's assertion that they should be afforded special treatment. democrats and republicans alike have expressed the importance of congressional oversight, and the president's decision to ignore law. nina is a clear attempt to impede what we believe to be our responsibility. my colleagues in the minority can express their opinion that they do not think oversight of this administration is a -- is legitimate. opinionhey express the that they believe oversight is legitimate, then there cannot be anything more basic than the committee charged with overseeing the hatch act asking the questions how do we prevent violations of the hatch act under this administration, not only at the level of president and the first lady, but the level of cabinet officers? no chairman of either party would do different or less than i'm doing here today, or he or she would be sh

>> michelle kosinski at the white house, thank you so hutch. bring in our political panel, the editor of the weekly standard, bill crystal and senior writer for politico, maggie hagerman and democratic strategist paul begala. let's start with you. if you use the same disputed metric, the 77 cents on the dollar the white house is not practicing what it preaches, right? >> okay. next. but here's the thing, right, it's a smaller gap. it's a 10% gap at the white house and 23% fashlly and still not good enough. i thought it was impressive that the new guy, josh earnest, the new guy. >> right. >> he wasn't defensive he . he said we have work to do. what i like is at the higher levels there are. the communications director, jennifer palmieri, a woman. when there are national security issues he turns to susan rice, a woman. i think he has a solid record on this. fair is fair, if you will use that kind of gross statistic, people will use it on you. >> bill? >> idiotic, false statistic and now let's bite the white house a little bit and that's a mugz, but

there was this rally outside the white house today. people who want immigration reform holding, in effect, a big cheerful rally telling the president to go big on immigration. telling the president to act unilaterally to reform the immigration system. as that was happening outside the white house today, republican senator jefferson sessions iii insisted inside congress if congress is going to do anything at all on immigration, on the spike at kids at the border, caring for those kids, money for border control, yet alone immigration policy, he insisted if congress is going to do anything at all, anything congress passes, he says, must also include language prohibiting president obama from issuing more executive actions on immigration laws. ", no member, house or senate, democrat or republican, should support any bill with respect to the border crisis that does not include language explicitly prohibiting the administration from taking such action. congress must disclose authority of these unlawful actions before congressional funding is g

i went into the white house with him. i wasn't in their meeting. >> was this matter discussed at all? >> i wasn't in the meeting. i just accompanied him to the building. >> we would find that record. no other contact in the white house during that period? >> no. >> would you be aware that your activities were being reported to mr. werfel? and usually they have the counsel or someone it might have been treasury reporting to the white house as to what of going on with say this report. you're not aware of what took place there? >> so in terms of the ig report, i have no idea what, if anything, was reported to the white house. the visit that i had with mr. wuerffel was to give his 30-day report to the president. >> again, what your activity was reported to wuerffel where you were in the investigation and compiling for congress, you weren't aware of it being transmitted beyond him? >> no. >> okay. thank you. >> we now go to the gentlelady from new york. miss maloney. >> thank you. i regret i was not able to join you last night

what is the white house afraid of? why wouldn't you be proud of changes made to be compliant with the goals of the hatch act. i respect president obama's assertion the white house be afforded special treatment that house democrats did not extend to republican administrations when they were in the majority. democrats and republicans alike have expressed the importance of congressional oversight and the president's decision to ignore a lawful subpoena is a clear attempt to impede what we believe to be our responsibility. my colleagues in the minority can express their opinion that they do not think oversight of this administration is legitimate. but if they express the opinion that they believe that oversight is legitimate, then can there be anything more basic than the committee charged with overseeing the hatch act asking the questions how do we prevent violations of the hatch act under this administration not only at the level of the president and first lady but at the level of cabinet officers. no chairman of either p

>> in the bathroom. >> you did, in the white house? >> in the bathroom. >> wow. >> not in the white house, but in the bathroom. when i do a number two, i usually, you know, have a cigarette or i light something to get the aroma right. you know what? you can light a piece of napkin. i said, i'll do that. and the napkin was this. >> all right, bob. anything else? >> i can't criticize this guy because i have done dope in the white house myself. >> are you breaking news? >> no, i'm just saying. >> a lot of dope in that white house. >> that's in my book. i did. >> dope in the white house. >> mm-hmm. >> okay, dana, when you were in the white house, was anyone going to the bathroom and lighting up joinlts? >> you know what i did in the bathroom at the white house? went to the bathroom. >> no, you don't go to the bathroom. please take that back. >> i think it's amazing to me that they think this helps them. i guess maybe it does. with the young kids, they love it. they think it's great, so cool. i think it's unattractive and unappealing. >> i b

we announced them the same day, the same hour, in the segmented as the white house. that's what we would like to do. with ozone depleting materials a few years ago and that's still the best and preferred way for canada to work with united states. knots.e have about five -- about five minutes left. having interest in china and russia sending in surveillance teams and flyovers, how confident are you that canada is capable of defending its claims to that territory? guest: canada and the united states are part of norad together and we have a perimeter defense security agreement and have had for 55 years. we have joint exercises in the arctic. we are both on the arctic council. canada is chairing it now and the united states takes over in april 2015. have a very positive and constructive working relationship with the arcticstates in terms of sovereignty. there is a disagreement about sea but there is a technical group assigned to map out the sea as part of the arctic. we strongly maintain our sovereignty on the northwest passage in the arctic but we sierra cells is partner

overnight the white house laid on another event. e president will now hold a round table in dallas, texas tomorrow on wednesday with cler givemen and elected representatives to talk about the crisis. >> mike, thank you very much. >>> a powerful typhoon striking okinawa, japan. 600,000 people have been told to evacuate. most of them, though, stayed put. some aircraft are being used to the united states air force base nearby. roughly 50,000 troops are stationed in japan. they have been asked to stay in doors as recovery efforts get underway. dave how strong is the typhoon right now? >> yeah, we're watching this closely, because it will continue to turn to the north. not nearly as strong as it was, but still affecting the area around okinawa and moving up to the north. this is the latest advisory, wind 125 miles an hour. there is some dry area, but it's still a noticeable eye holding together and continuing to push to the north. you see it really intensify as it passes by okinawa, but now as it turns to the north, not quite as favorable

the statement put out by the white house last night was pretty strong. nd of verbiage that the white house is using over and over again, that they are calling for a full, credible, unimpeded, transparent, prompt, international investigation. they have used all of those words, sometimes all of them at the same time over and over again. they want to make sure that u.s. investigators, international investigators, can get there, that they have safe and unimpeded access as they have put it and they are able to participate in the investigation before anybody can move anything. now, of course, there are already some indications based on what the ukrainians have said that stuff has been moved away from that crash site, that a possible surface-to-air missile launcher has been moved away. this is all coming from the ukrainians, unconfirm by u.s. intelligence. but those are the real concerns there that anybody i will ever get to the bottom of it at this point. and i think what's really interesting is that when you look at the way things have been going over the last

the time. how did white reconcile his views? in fact, he struggled in his last years his beliefs on one hand and the ark texture in one hand and the social economic model that he had no use for it. he could never reconcile the two. what influence did the sympathies have at bretton woods? very little. they were enormously obstructive. there was no monetary thinking. you might wonder why to this date, it is a european who runs the i.m.s. and not an american. where as the i.m.f. was more important to the united states. president truman had intended to nominate white to be the first managing director in 1946. right before he did so, he received a long memorandum saying don't think about it. piv information and witnesses that will collaborate this mass a soviet spy. he did not trust hoover but he knew he had a big political problem on his hands. they said they decided that we want the world bank to "secure the confidence of the american investment community and it would be rude of us to take both institutions." both institutions mind

it's something the white house has been touting for weeks. it's money at least, one republican senator, appears open to granting. >> we've got take care of the children. we can't leave them in a circumstance where they're not fed or taken care of or in a safe condition. we'll have to find some money, i guess, to do that. >> the money will not be addressed to use any sort of policy plans to deport the minors who have entered the country illegally from central america. that's despite tough talk from the white house to do so over the past couple of days. all comes, of course, the day before president obama heads to texas on a fundraising trip that has some lawmakers on both sides of the aisle saying it should be more than a fundraising trip that he should stop at the border. we learned a short time ago that short of a border trip, as of now, president obama will be meeting with faith leaders and local officials when he arrives in texas tomorrow. senior editor of msnbc.com and white house correspondent from the washington post is here. let me star

how, then, does the white house prioritize what's important? >> they haven't looked like they know the answer to that themselves. i guess that's the best way i can put it. they seem to be tackling each issue trying to juggle all at once. i think there's some indication when you watch where their attention is going what they put aside for the moment. the president is talking and talking, which is his natural inclination, to keep the dialogue open to our u.s. allies and friends. but the analysis doesn't seem to be any clearer, i would argue, to president obama or even secretary of state kerry in the situation in israel. gwen: john, the white house -- the president said earlier today that this has been a head-snapping moment. i wonder if it is for the white house as well as for the rest of us who are citizens of the world watching planes fall from the sky, watching tanks and little boys being killed on beaches and all oaf these horrible things we've seen this week. is it a head-snapping moment for the white house? >> there's no question about it. w

there is more at hypocrisy at the white house. there is a war on women at the white house. rd comment tonight. back to our political panel. aftery. nina easton and national review jim garety. 13% pay gap at the white house. >> this shows complexity of this issue and all the people who jump on the bandwagon of women make 23% less than men. the reason there is a pay gap at the white house is because there are more men in senior positions. >> that's the problem. why are the men -- i mean getting all the great jobs? >> well women choose to have children and stay home that effects the pay gap. >> i mean, i'm rolling my eyes at you obviously. go ahead. >> if you think -- the other thick is if you take into account choice, what people choose to major, in for example, petroleum engineering, high paying jobs, 87% male. early childhood education. really low paying profession. very high percentage women. >> i bet you 10 bucks that i can find women, those high paying jobs that are equally qualified. >> how many women do you know have survived a white house job with small children that t

the white house declared israel the loser in this conflict. the palestinians have shot 2,000 rockets into israel. all israel is doing is saying, we told you to stop, and now they're feeling the pain because of that. the faa doesn't make a move without the department of homeland security. dhs is appointed for the most part by the obama administration. the obama administration knew exactly what they were doing when the faa put the flight restrictions into israel. by the way, why aren't their flight restrictions into pakistan, yemen, and other countries where rockets are flying and they are dangerous places. there aren't flight restrictions there. they have singled out israel as their point. look, this is a punitive measure by the faa, by the white house to punish israel, and they always blame israel when all israel is doing, contrary to the white house, i stand with israel on this. >> dana, if you're sitting in the white house and you need to advise the president, when you see this kind of action by c.a.r.e., which i think really is going in the

can you compare him to his predecessors or successors in the white house? i do think he was a legislative president. a learn that loved and erevered congress. he brought his relationship and the sense of the institution. kennedy does not have that and i think that was a big flaw. fast forward to today i think a lot of the presidents in recent years are much more disconnected from washington and from congress. some like president obama serve for a short period but they do not invest themselveses on capitol hill. that is one of the most distinctive features of who he was as a politician. >> when does the book come out? >> january 2015. >> each week, and american history tv sets in on a lecture with one of the nation pro college professors. you can watch the classes here every saturday evening at 8 p.m. and midnight eastern. next ian isherwood looks at how world war i soldiers interpreted their war experiences. he uses works by three writers, hemingway, toest look at how soldiers cope with civilian life to deal with physical

we have to tell the african american perspective as low as the white perspective. it has to be honest and truthful story of mississippi's civil rights movement. it will not be a pretty story. we have had a lot of negative things happen in the state. our last gallery in the museum will talk about where we are now and where we need to go. that will help people see mississippi is growing and improving and things are getting better in mississippi. >> all weekend long american featuring jackson, mississippi. the state legislature placed the in 1821 rat the sight of a pearl river trading post. partnersst cable worked with c-span's local when we recently traveled there to explore the rich history. about jackson all weekend here on american history tv. >> we hope to send into mississippi this summer upwards of 1000 teachers, ministers come a lawyers, and students from all around the country who will engage in what we are calling freedom schools, community center programs, voter registration activity, research work, work in the white communities, and in general, a program de

is the white house under siege? our own chris, good morning. approach to this information, that information, it appears to be no, sorry. >> it is whatever, who cares, the kesha presidency. disregard anybody who asks for it. questioning anything you demonstrate your not a supporter of the administration and the president, therefore your inquiry is invalid. it is a loop in which you say because you want to know, you must be bad, therefore we ball not tell you. bill: is it possible the g.o.p. has gone too far? there doesn't seem to be too much there at least for this inquiry into political activity. most presidents have that. >> something the bush white house had that going on, but we don't know what he is asking for because we don't know, but we do know whether it is this or at henry mentioned the irs and recycled hard drives or if it is a listenin litany or issues, are the overplaying their hand? sure. i would argue different than most presidencies including richard nixon, with the president is on, his presidencyr says we are worried about what c

i want transparency, accountability. >> the white house said we'll do things differently, change washington. they didn't change washington. >> the more transparency we can bring, the less likely it is washington will be run by lobbyists and special interest ares. >> transparency and the rule of law will be the touch stones president. >> he's broken a promise. >> this is the most transparent administration in history. >> joining us, jill abramson. >> great to be here, greta. >> fired because that's the term you want. i read that you like "fired." >> that's what happened to me. i have devoted my career to truth-telling. so why hide that. . >> fired it is then. i want to talk about the whole issue of president obama and transparen transparency. i have been covering politics back to the carter administration. so a long time. >> you said this administration is the most is he retif. >> i love the name of your show "on the record." i have never dealt with an administration where more officials -- some of whom are actually paid to be the spokesman for various federal agencies demand that be off the

she lives in the white house. i mean by that she has a suite of rooms that she occupies permanently in the white house. she has a secret service detail. she eats with the president and first lady every night that they are in the white house. she goes on vacations with them. she goes to whatever meetings she wants to attend and she carries the president's message to cabinet ministers and other people in the administration. there has been no one sends harry hopkins back in the 40s who has this kind of power. >> host: you write of her from your book saying she watched over him and made him feel safe. he was her special charge, the chosen one. she focused on him does it on him in the fight -- devoted her entire life to him and give them a unconditional love he never received from his mother who frequently abandon them as a child. >> guest: that's right. there have been several as you know biographies of barack obama and there has been a lot of speculation about the fact that his mother was not around a lot. she travel

the white house tries to ensure the world it stands with israel. we are live in gaza with the latest developments. >> investigators trying, yet again, to reach the crash site of malaysia flight 17. is fighting between pro-russian rebels and ukraine making it too dangerous, again? this, as world leaders are ready to punish russia with tougher sanctions. welcome to "early start," i'm poppy harlow in for christine romans. >> i'm john berman. itis tuesday u july 29th. a first deadly violence rocking gaza. an explosion killing ten palestinians, eight of them children and a devastating blast at the biggest hospital complex. hamas blames israel for the attacks. they insist their carried out no strikes in the area and blame hamas for the carnage. a cease-fire fading fast, if not gone altogether. israeli prime minister, beng anyone netanyahu says more difficult days are ahead. karl penhaul is live. what can you tell snus. >> reporter: well, john, it was an intense night throughout the night in central gaza city. we saw israeli illumination flares lighting u

the white house said it would be more than $2 billion. this is significantly more than the $2 billion we were anticipating. in terms of the break down $1.6 billion go to dhs and doj. it's used for additional border agencies. $1.6 billion goes to addition board agents. $300 million goes to outreach to central america to work with the government discourage people from crossing the border to educating the people who might be considering doing so. about how dangerous that journey actually is. so that is what the administration is asking for. a number of republicans saying they're not going to give president obama a blank check. but it's an optics problem for republicans as well. how can they not do something to deal with what they have deemed as a crisis? there is going to be pressure on congress to do something. will the white house get the full $3.7 billion? that's dubious, craig. i anticipate you'll see a comprise. something in the realm of $2.7 billion. >> would there have to be offsets or going to be -- >> it's a great question. it will v

they say the focus, obviously, should be on problem solving. i was reaching out to whiteld be no surprise last-minute visit today even as governor perry as we speak right now is on the rio grande getting a boat tour to really try to draw yet more attention to this in the final hours of the president's visit here. but as the president himself said, it's not about theater. it is about problem solving. and they reiterate that people who need to be there, people like jeh johnson, secretary of homeland security, will be there later this very week for the sixth time since december. but that certainly doesn't satisfy critics like rick perry who only last night said to me it sends a clear message when presidents and governor goes to places like this more than just making a statement. that's why you go to hurricane disaster zones like sandy, he noted, like bush was criticized for katrina. that's the same reason perry said the president should be going to the border. >> toy plant part of rick perry conversation with peter last night to that very point. >> you can pick up the phone

the army is roming over for the white house. the evidence against bergdahl appears to be overwhelming. to get a murder conviction in civilian court you don't rely entirely on the testimony of the alleged murderer. what bergdahl says matters. it's about intent. if bergdahl says i didn't mean to dessert. i wanted to take a nice evening stroll. then they say he didn't mean to dessert. it's just awol. the bottom line for me is the precedent that was set. it's so deliterious. bill: at what point do you cross the line. i have a lot of veterans who hope the guy is okay. but it's not like you are calling for his head. you just want to know the truth and if the truth is what you suspect or believe, then it should be handled accordingly. at the moment i don't get the sense that's the way it's going to go. >> it am not. i want the military justice system to work the way it's supposed work. never in the history of the military has an alleged deserter been given a cushy involves job. military veterans aren't vengeful. what they hate is the wh

the white house is already telling states to brace themselves s. the huffington post reported that when the trust fund gets below a certain point, states will no longer be reimbursed for transportation are projects as they send in bills. president obama's proposed raising the funds by closing tax loopholes. he's also taking executive action. to get projects approved more quickly. the president is acting and he's warning republicans it's time they do the same. >> it's not crazy. it's not socialism. [ laughter ] it's not, you know, the imperial presidency. no laws are are broken. we are just building roads and bridges like we have been doing for the last -- i don't know -- 50, a hundred years? but so far house republicans have refused to act on this. i haven't heard a good reason why. it's not like they have been busy with other stuff. new york ci no, seriously. i mean, they're not doing anything. why don't they do this? >> infrastructure isn't a red or a are blue state issue. if congress won't act, projects across the country will be in jeopardy. pro

from 2011 to 2013, he served as senior advisor to the president. former whiteouse chief of staff bill daley has said the president probably took david's opinion with more certitude than anyone else. if david said "x" i think the president would more often believe "x" than challenge it. i am pleased to have them here here for the first time. it is great to have the year because i am interested in what you do. we can talk about many things. i intend to talk about foreign policy, but in this limited time, what interests me is america. you have done something remarkable and part of two great experiences -- winning presidential campaigns. going to the public at different times. on the one hand, you had the magic of a narrative that was overwhelming. the first african-american, a man who brought great pride. the second time, it was a different kind of campaign. >> more of a grind. >> in the end, you're going to the people and saying -- support us. you have to understand america, i think, to be elected by americans. tell me how you see the country and the influence. >

my issue is not that he smoked in the white house. the pot is treated as something you do and it is not that edgy. >> not anymore. but whatever. this story is going to be tossed around, but i think that the only part of the story i find truly unrealistic is that the cia asked if he was going number one or number two. >> and it could have been number three which is a combination. >> i hate when that happens. >> we will talk about that later on the show. i didn't mean to make you sick to your stomach. >> of course this happened. i totally believe this story is 100% true. >> sam, we all get it. snoop gets high. >> it is also the confidence it gives you. he is in the white house smoking weed. i don't know. i feel like there is a white house aid going we haven't reached a cease-fire with hamas and snoop is high as [bleep] in the bathroom. you may want to tend to that. >> you know who was the first person to do drugs in the white house that we know of? >> jfk. >> that's true. jfk did drugs. but those were pills. our own "red eye" larry g o -

today at the white house they held a viewing party for the world cup. for whatever reason soccer is one of the sports where everybody feels better if we all watch together in a large group. not every sport is like that. today at soldier field in chicago and kansas city, missouri and piedmont park in atlanta and city hall plaza in boston and san francisco there were really big public groups of fans gathered together in the literal public square to cheer for the american team in their big historic match today versus belgium at the world cup. the big gatherings of people watching together included this rather buttoned up watch party at the white house. specifically, this was at the eisenhower executive office building. president obama himself walked over from the white house to the building where they were holding the watch party at one point today and dropped in unexpectedly on the federal workers there watching the game. before sitting down in the room there to watch some of the game himself president obama led the crowd in a round of i believe that we c

president bush, i do believe, was that the cost of change -- cusp of change of philosophy in the whitehouse at the same time that he was on the cusp of change with the world powers, if you will. and it does not look very dramatic going from reagan to bush. i am not sure it was really dramatic, but it was a change. his views were very different than his predecessor's views, george schultz. the views of the foreign-policy community when president reagan was dealing with the opportunity for change that had already started to emerge from gorbachev and that comes through in just -- in jeff's book, too. the seeds of change were actually planted overseas by others and he wondered how well-fertilized they would be or when they would be watered or when they would produce beautiful flowers or whether it would produce weeds. the seeds themselves were not our seeds. i think they were invited by our government and how our government functions of, by, and for the people and how our economy thrives through entrepreneurship and creativity and the courage to take risks. those were things that were lack

the white house doesn't want to get out ahead of this. there are a lot of moving pieces to this, a lot of potential actors involved in the situation, a lot of technical data that has to be sifted through and analyzed in order to understand exactly what happened in this case. the white house doesn't want to prejudice any of that and give a statement that leans in one direction or the other until they know exactly what it is they're dealing with. obviously if we're dealing with a situation in which a passenger jet was deliberately shot down, you're looking at a major international crisis and the white house will be dealing with it in the weeks and months to come. as of right now, they don't want to say anything that's going to impact the way they handle that in the weeks and months to come as they follow up on this. if it's something else, then obviously that unfolds a whole other series of responses from the white house. so very cautious now from the white house. wouldn't expect necessarily you'll hear anything in the next coming hours now
