the west wing is prime real estate. at v.o.a., we are very lucky. this is a booth in the basement where you can barely fit two normal-sized people inside. the thermostat, 69 fahrenheit, there were no windows to the outside world. in previous decades, they had two chain smokers in that booth. i can't even imagine these days. how tiny the white house actually is, especially the west wing, that is the most surprising thing about it. also, conversely, we cannot roam around all parts of the white house. there is a space on the north lawn that we can be outside the west wing to do the tv standups. we have the press briefing room. we can go to the press secretary's office. we can't go into the oval office. unless you are escorted by the wranglers, as they are called for the pool. we can go out on the south lawn when marine one is taking off and landing. we have no access to any cafeteria. this is the levity area. a table with a couple of vending machines that are right next to the bathrooms. that's where a lot of people eat their lunch if they don't have a

and that west wing of the white house and in the justice department actually went after reporters, you may remember this and what was different, i point this out in the book that what really fascinated me was what's called the white house press pool it is a smaller group of reporters that goes into the oval office and goes on air force one and there is a lot of cooperation and also competition to get the air of the president. and in the obama administration the so-called pole sprays might last for a maximum of 60 seconds and obama was very disciplined, he did not like answering questions and i think some reporters were tried to get them in once in a while. with donald trump it was completely different. and i believe that as far as speaking to the media on the record, probably holds the record for the most minutes talking to journalists on the record. linda johnson would go on for hours but it was off the record so, instead of going in for a 62nd =>, we could be in the oval office for more than an hour sometimes asking multiple questions to the president and also off the record briefing

so the the the how tiny white house actually is, especially on the west wing.i think that's the most surprising thing about it. but also, conversely, the the we cannot roam around all parts of the white house. there's a space on the north lawn that we can be outside the west wing to do the tv standups. we our press briefing room, we can go to the press secretary's office. we can't walk into the oval office unless you you're escorted by the wranglers as they're called, the for for the pool. and then we can go out on the south lawn when one is taking off and landing. we have no access to any cafeteria there. there is the what's it called, the lavatory. air a table with a couple of vending machines which are right next to the. so that's where a lot of people eat their lunch. if they don't have a space to sit down. so it's not glamorous, let's put it that way. and you talk about space being everything and there's a seating chart. i don't know if a lot of people realize about which agencies have which can you talk about about how that works, how that pleases our din

west. you talk a little bit about the east wing, west wing relationship and how they began to understand with the asset that she was and how it took a while to east understand the what they really wanted nothing do with the east wing as far as they were concerned. i mean, there was like a cold war going on, just one of the first lady to at 40 and not make waves, you know, just do your thing, be the wife the wife and that wasn't going to happen and it didn't happen. but. it was really interesting to me. i would handle all the news. everybody was always asking, what's wrong with her? you know, when things happen. and they usually the press would always say, i thought it was for the cancer coming back and and of course, no. so any excuse could give other than anything. well, she you know, she's had a lot on her schedule, whatever, whatever it may be, something above and beyond that so that we didn't talk health and. i remember this one occasion when she went to have went to bethesda naval hospital to have a checkup to make sure that she was okay regarding the cancer so it was decided that nessen

the cast of the west wing is in wisconsin, going, event to event to event through the weekend, and we series of visitors from the top of the ticket, and there's going to be a ton more. it's all gas and no brakes. what we are seeing, energy on the ground for democrats. i was in all of the rural county democratic offices, and they were packed with people coming back from canvassing door to door, and some of them going back out in the rain. wisconsin is where four of the last six presidential races down to less than one percentage points. thats not the margin of error. that's the margin of effort. we are rolling up our sleeves and putting in every iota we can muster. maybe we will win by a hair or a lot, but this is how we win. >> i am sort of torn in two buckets right now with your two states, chairmen. what is happening on the ground in detroit as you mentioned, chairwoman barnes, and what is happening also in wisconsin, chairman wickler, drop boxes used for years until mostly banned after the claims of fraud are back, and they are the subject of a bitter debate. city council and board

you focus on the west wing. understandably, you focus on the president, his advisers inside the west wing, who's around him. but often a lot of influence comes from the east wing. i mean, jimmy carter and rosalynn carter really exemplified this. she would sit in on cabinet meeting and they, they establish a weekly lunch where they talked about policy, not just catching up with one another. and so i think the emphasis in the influence that you see, whoever is occupying that role has on the president of the united states is really an interesting look. and it often gets overlooked. and that's why this documentary was so fascinating for us, is to dig into that is something that really doesn't get a lot of attention, but certainly should. yeah, really, really interesting. >> i don't know if the smithsonian needs a tuxedo. they're not all that interesting. they don't vary all that much, but we shall see kaitlan collins. thank you very much. and you can all see kaitlan's full report on the whole story with anderson coo
