>> yeah, so, when we talk about white supremacy -- white supremacy is an ideology that says white isormative, and there's a value judgment there. so white is normative and better than everything else. >> isn't white supremacy more of a call-out for violent racism? >> no, so, that's interesting, is that the way people think about white supremacy is normally rooted in things like lynching and enslavement. that is, like, how people think about it, but white supremacy shows up in a host of other insidious ways. so you think about -- funding for school systems is a great example. like, some kids aren't worth an investment, and some kids are certainly worth an investment, and that is about saying that, like, there's a set of people who just are worth more than other people. >> do you think that most people define it the way you define it? >> no, i don't know if, like, it is one thing. you are talking about the way that it manifests, which is different than the way we define it. so we live in a world where there are a host of things -- like band-aids are "skin tone" and don't look like my -

-- into the white house. then there was one elevator to go up but those were very tiny. it was better than nothing. it worked for me very well. i was given an additional room, that was the chocolate room of the white house. so you see, everything is possible to give it time. and the white house, i always said, was a place made for me. i love to work there because they let me produce whatever i wanted to. but all my desserts had a significance in some way. >> sometimes, we had desserts from italy. i find something special around the town and that will be duplicated in the pastry of course. i did that all the time, all the time, all the time. one of the first ladies, she was great. i loved to work for her because she knew what she wanted. personally, you better do what she asks you to do and do it the right way. there is nothing wrong there. again, i love to work with people like this. i would rather do that then people who say i do not know. the last one with mrs. reagan, we were doing sunday noon at the white

kennedy had been to the white house. he reportedly believed himself that he had been picked for the court. but then at the very last minute, conservative staffers in the reagan white house intervened and said no, no. we have a different guy we would prefer for the seat. better choice. somebody we like more. and so this man, who you see here with reagan, douglas ginsburg, he jumped to the head of the line and he got the nomination. and then it all fell apart. reagan didn't get him on to the court. and immediately everybody started to try -- everybody started trying to figure out who they were going to blame in the reagan white house for this political disaster. >> president reagan today suffered his second defeat in trying to fill a seat on the u.s. supreme court when the man he nominated only nine days ago, douglas ginsburg, asked that his name be withdrawn. it was an embarrassing admission of marijuana use that doomed ginsburg. white house officials knew he could never win confirmation. the front-runner to become the ne

that turned into white supremacists that turned into white power and then white pride now white nationalist, you know, they've gone from calling themselves racist so racialist, and so it's trying to bring their language closer and closer to something that -- mostly white americans who don't identify as racist can suddenly think ideas maybe are closer to some things that i could potentially believe. which is a really scary thing. even scarier, they've been very effective in those talking points. i think -- you know, be tempting to think of white nationalism or this kind of race nism our country is something that is propagated and furthered by small number of extremist. truth is in our country right now, polls king thely slow that about 30 to 40% of white people believe they experience more discrimination and greater victims than people of color and jews and that is wildly off-base by every statistical measure that we have. but fact that so many people have this false sense of grievance is something that white nationalist and other people in these positions try to play toward to bring them mo

house and the white house's credibility from the white house. both are under siege today. there's very little trust in the press and there's very little trust among some, anyway, in the information that's coming from the white house. i certainly remember when i was at the white house and when i was bureau chief at cnn, if the president said something or a press secretary would say something that was mistaken or a misstatement there was an effort to quickly correct the record. i remember marlin fitzwater would walk around with his big cigar that he wouldn't light and he would actually walk through the press office and say, what i said or what the president said, let me just tweak that. there was a very good relationship there and he got a lot of credit for that. but we are not at that place now. i mean -- and now there is a very particular and personal and some would say grandstanding environment around this. where do you see this question of credibility now in terms of, again, plugging this into all the technology that we've got and the cameras

anita mcbride's career relating to the white house and the presidency spans more than 30 years as a white house adviser, chief of staff, and diplomatic adviser. currently, she is executive in residence at the center for congressional and presidential studies in the school of public affairs at american university in washington where she directs programming on the legacies of america's first ladies and their historical influence on politics, policy, and global diplomacy. anita served as an assistant to president george w. bush as well as chief of staff to first lady laura bush. she directed the first lady's travel to 67 countries in 4 years to support foreign policy objectives and human rights, women's empowerment, global health, and education. she's a member of the u.s.-afghan women's council, the international republican institute's women's diplomacy network, the national italian-american foundation, and most importantly, a board member of the white house historical association and chair of the committee that organized the presidential sites summit. mark is an author, presidential histori

through the white house. and so mrs. bush had made sure that any of the resident's staff that were still working in the white house that had been there in the johnson time were there to greet mrs. johnson at the diplomatic reception room door when she stepped in. and in addition, one of the butlers that had worked for the johnsons, mr. german, was now a part-time elevator operator, operated the president's elevator in the white house, just a few days a week, mrs. bush made sure that he was there and that he was the one that greeted mrs. johnson when the door was opened of the car for her to get out. and the way that mrs. johnson reached up in recognition to embrace mr. german and how he embraced her, is really would just make you weep. but would also, the two last things that i'll just say about mrs. johnson's visit, her last visit to the white house, is, mrs. bush wheeled her into the vermeil room on the ground floor, which had just been repainted under one of the restoration projects that mrs. bush did, tha

you know, in the white house i was in, and previous white houses. there were people who had a longstanding association with a president there. there were bonds of trust that he simply hasn't had. other than with his own children, his daughter, and son-in-law, perhaps that's one of the reasons why he wanted him there. but it's very hard to run the united states government like your family business. and you need to rely on others and this is just a very toxic environment. >> you know, one of my favorite shows it on the weekend now, don't tell fareed, it's "the axe files." >> thank you, sir. i appreciate that. >> thank you. mr. david axelrod. enjoy l.a., whatever you're doing there. thank you. >> i will. >>> as the president rails against the writer tonight, is that writer courageous or is that writer a coward? that's why we designed capital one cafes. you can get savings and checking accounts with no fees or minimums. and one of america's best savings rates. to top it off, you can open one from anywhere in 5 minutes. this isn't a typical bank. this is

today white house press secretary sarah sanders was asked directly if the white house is trying to determinehe identity of that op-ed writer in "the new york times." she said this. we're certainly focused on things that actually matter. trying to down play all of it. one thing is clear, it matters to the president. he's been venting about it all weekend long. the white house tonight trying to move beyond a war within its own walls. >> it is, frankly, i think sad and pathetic that a gutless, anonymous source could receive so much attention. >> it's been 19 days since white house press secretary sarah sanders appeared at the podium. aides were seen cleaning it before she took questions in the briefing room for the first time since august 22nd. she wasted little time blasting bob woodward in his new book, fear that chronicles deep dysfunction inside the west wing. >> to not even take the time to get a $10 fact checker to fall around and verify the quotes, when no effort was made it seems a careless way to write the book. >> reporter: even if she tries to down play the book, it is the one-two pu

>> white houses do not, in the white house, they are probably not.do not protect their security punitively. they protect their security by inspiration. people believe in the president, and people who believe in each other. presidents are politicians, they rise to the ability. and what has been true about this white house is because of the president's utter lack love leadership. recording devices are now pretty small, but the reason that no one checks is because they trust them. they don't check if they have a pen recording device. there is a sign to remind you if you regret. remember the story about a white house staffer saying hurtful things about each other, that was leaked by another staffer, they were just trying to setting a vendetta. >> and the author of this op-ed will soon be outed, is it dangerous? >> i don't imagine, it is hark to crack they are dealing with a number of false clues. we may assume they are going to stay currently employed. they may not be employed now, it may be more than one person. so there is indirection here. it is hard

we have a different white house now. larry kudlow is in the white house. john bolton. people that are on the president's not only his team, but they get his zeitgeist, i think, and get his policies. >> but isn't the op-ed now? that's the one differential from march. it's syncing up with the tenor of everything we heard before. so is this true? is this what's going on inside the white house? >> i think it goes to who wrote in op-ed. we were talking off camera. i don't want to necessarily name people, but i would say i defend "the new york times" here. i don't think "the new york times" would print it unless it was somebody in the white house -- >> can you imagine? can you imagine? that would add more fuel to the flames that donald trump constantly throw as it being a fake news entity. they have got to have backed themselves up on this? >> right. i think that. that op-ed i don't think it was timed to the woodward book. i think it was timed to continue this whole idea that they had with this mccain funeral. i saw steve bannon. he is in venice. and he said it looks like a

i need young white men to not only get their messages about what it means to be white from white nationalists supremacists, i need them to get it from you. i need you a you can to to them about what it means to be white beyond a white supremacist frame. it's not easier for me as a black woman to have conversations with my son about what it means to be black. that didn't come with the black birth, we just do it because we have to. y'all have to do it, too. because your children are at risk. sometimes people think oh, they understand, black and brown kids are at risk for gang violence. your kids are at risk for joining a white supremacist moveme movement. i need you to start talking to them. and well should i end on a happy note? >> yes. >> well, i don't know. join forces. i think i'll echo what you said. this is hard work and this work, we're in it for the rest of our lives so i need you to join forces with other people so we can hold up one another when we get tired because we will. so look to your left, look to your right, see who is new who you can bring in your circle and do this hard work

the white house simply is not saying. all of our sources in president white house in washington as well as here say they simply are not sure of the status. rod rosenstein is not going to be around for long. in a weekend interview with geraldo rivera made clear that rod rosenstein is a jeff sessions man, hired by jeff sessions. we know what the president thinks of jeff sessions, obviously. i'm sorry i can't clear up any more confusion hereali at the u. the president will get a read from him in a couple of hours. he may have to be the 1 one to y if he is on the job. by the end of the day, we think he probably will not be. >> a request to laura. if you have anything within the hour, the associated press, cnn's manu raju and kate lynn col collins. he has gone to the white house to say i resign or say fire me? >> it's pretty safe to say he is not going to walk out of that meeting and have the job he has now. they are there hash things out and what they say going forward. they had a conversation last week where rod rosenstein o

okay, let's start the egg white. whip the egg white. we were whipping the egg white at the time. and you know what? it never came up. i said, man. or different word. so, at the dinner, the white house takes a little bit less than an hour. we wash the bowl. start all over. it don't come up again. it's sticking. you know at the white house, when they come for dessert, you cannot say, i need another 10 minutes. you cannot do that. the only word the butler wants to hear is, speak up, now. so, we were cutting eggs again. washed the bowl. when i heard -- this is when i was still working in the main kitchen with the chefs. i heard executive chef about the mayonnaise they made on the machine that morning. do you know how many drops of oil it takes to mess up on those egg drops? one drop, two drops, that's it, forget it. they do the mayonnaise, but i didn't see it. i wasn't there when they did it appear so the oil splash on the machine. so, when you came with your merringue, you don't know what it is. when i heard them talking, i said, oh, my god, should i kick their ass now or later? i w

white house. we're going to keep our eye on. he's en route to the white house. we do not know the status, though, of his employment at this moment. there's a lot of confusion over rod rosenstein after that bombshell report coming out friday night in "the new york times" that rosenstein is offering up his resignation or if he's expecting to be fired or some combination of both. we're waiting for more detail on this. let's go, as we do that, let's get over to cnn's senior congressional correspondent manu raju on capitol hill. manu, you can be sure a lot of folks are not reacting yet because they don't know what they're going to be reacting to. but this potential has been a topic of conversation for months on capitol hill. >> yeah, no question about it. republicans have actually been urging the president not to take this step of firing rod rosenstein even after that "new york times" report from friday, saying that doing so right now would cause a major distraction for the party heading into the midte

he did not talk about it on his way out of the white house on his way to the rally, but the white house has been struggling to contain the fallout from this anonymous op-ed all day long from a person claiming to be a top administration official slamming the president. cabinet secretaries have been coming out with statements saying don't look at me. trump world has gone -- it's become a washington who done it as in the history of the senior administration official who anonymously wrote a scathing op-ed in the "new york times" claiming to be a part of the internal resistance. so far more than a dozen top officials a who's who from the vice president to cabinet secretaries released statements to say not it. >> i think it is a disgrace. the anonymous editorial represents a new low in american journalism. i think the "new york times" should be ashamed. i think who wrote this editorial should be ashamed. >> reporter: the daughter of u.s. ambassador to russia said it wasn't her father. >> my dad works for the administration. >> did you write it? >> i did not write it. my dad did not write it a

what they withheld in the investigation under the direction of the white house, reagan's white house, it appeared they withheld the fact that there was a tape from my old office, a wiretap, showing he was mobbed up. en that was withheld from the committee and therefore compromised the ability of the senators on the committee to advise and consent to the nomination. similarly here. no background investigation that was serious as it was regulated by white house counsel mcgann before the hearing and then we sat on a railroad as we tried to exclude any pause that would allow members of the committee, the judiciary committee, to look at the thousands and thousands of documents. and then they beef about the fact that a senator on the committee respected an individual's confidentiality and then when it came out they attacked her for not revealing it sooner. so from the background investigation is at the direction of the white house which is a serious flaw. and the investigation should be whether or not this nominee assaulted women sexually including but perhaps not limited to dr. ford. and t

this aggression served the white men's courage, but it also compelled white men to desert. without this spine, the official thought black men would not run from battle. others thought they would desert and do it constantly. writing home, evan said i thought it would be hard to keep new growth from running. in the end black men left the u.s. army at the same rate. the government calculated approximately 200,000 white and black soldiers deserted. of that 2000, 12,000 black men deserted. statistically than 67 black men for 1000 which was not far off from white men who deserted at 63 per 1000. but they saw this as a serious threat. project taken up by historians. during the war the government said white and black men deserted in high numbers because of a lack of discipline, excessive bounties and ineffective methods of capture, making them believe the army could not catch them. historians looking into the diaries, letters and lives of these men have discovered many reasons detailing the impulses that led white men to desert including a lack of commitment to the war and some wal

which is that today with his white house in crisis over people within the white house expressing their dissatisfaction with the trump administration that when they have a meeting about that and when they have a discussion about that and when they reduce their suspect list to 12, that it is immediately leaked to "the new york times" that their suspect list has been reduced to 12. >> yeah. you know, of course it's also in their interest, perhaps, to make clear that anybody that might think about doing the same thing as this author that they are doing to respond, right? a white house wants to have discipline. they don't have any discipline, as we see in this white house at the moment. so they're trying to basically send a signal this will not be tolerated. there will be repercussions for anybody that might think about it. you can play it out a couple different ways. it is not clear whether this list or the idea of it will go any where. it is an indication of just how, you know, anxious in exercise this white house is, particularly because you have a president raging in volcanic terms abou

isn't there a universe the white house staffers working for the white house have a point or no?> you have to look at what is because of the president and what is happening in spite of the president. so, i think there's an argument to be made, if this white house truly were a finely tuned machine as president trump said, we could be seeing more across the economic fronlt, the national security front, the domestic agenda. because this white house is embroiled in turbulence, this is what we see. >> x is happening over at this side of pennsylvania avenue. what is going to happen on the other side of pennsylvania avenue with other republicans. ben sasse has been out a ton. he was out with chuck on "meet the press." here is what he said. >> i don't have any desire to beat the president up, but it's clear that this white house is a reality show soap opera presidency. the drama of omarosa, the drama of cohen, manafort and the woodward quotes and the op-eds. what you would like is the president not to worry about the short term of staffing, but the long term vision casting. pull us toget

in a new report by motherboard, leaked documents show facebook bans white supremacy but allows whitenationalism and white separa separatism. it suspect always associated with racism. jason kebler is the site's editor in chief. thank you for being here. most people in my audience didn't know there was a distinction between white supremacy, white nationalism and the way facebook looks at it. why do they look at it like they do. >> facebook makes these distinctions because they're trying to figure out a way to decide what's allowed on facebook and what is not. they don't want to alienate some customers which might be white nationalists, white supremacists, decided to draw the line, and facebook makes this distinction even though black history and experts don't, civil rights groups don't, and white nationalism is actually just a veil. >> they use real people to determine what does and doesn't go on with computer systems, most are here in the united states. how is someone able. can you explain to my audience or was someone able to explain what an example of white nationalism is that doesn

and white house officials saying that he was coming to the white house to resign. so neither of these two -- beneath neither of those statements is -- one or the other is right, they can't both be true. and they could reach some sort of compromise in which rosenstein agrees to stay on for some period of time. this is not merely the fact that this is the number two official at the justice department, that this is the official since the beginning that brought in robert mueller to be the special counsel and that he supervisors the special counsel's investigation. if rosenstein does end up leaving, we're told that the day to day supervision of the mueller investigation will fall to the tony general, who's not acting in -- and now we have noel francisco, who is now the u.s. solicitor general, who's basically the top courtroom advocate and the deputy attorney general's other work would wibe taken over by a man named ed o'callaghan, who is the so-called -- he's a long time federal bruprosecutor in new yo and also here in the main justice and national security division. so

white nationalist policies, white nationalist sympathies, the president regularly implies white nationalists outright white supremacist rhetoric like when he tweeted that lie about a genocide of white farmers in south africa and actually directed the state department to then investigate this white nationalist conspiracy theory. there are, i would wager, more outright white nationalists in this administration than there are black people. >> ian smith was a political appointee, right? this was not someone in the civil service, obviously. >> that's my understanding, yeah. >> so you've got people that are -- people think about who's in the white house, right? but there are all kinds of people in the agencies and sort of at the top of the agencies that are the political folks who it's very easy for them not to -- like if you hadn't broken this, "the times" hadn't broken this, who knows how long he would have been there is my question. >> right. obviously he was not somebody who was particularly well known. i imagine if i hadn't written the story he could have continued to labor in obscurity. >> a

on inside this administration, not only conducted by white house officials but allies of this white house want to know who anonymous is. >> how much weight is the white house taking these. you say they're printing them out and basically showing them to him. >> reporter: my understanding is that, yes, he is, remember, this is a president who likes to have cabinet meetings where he goes around the room and cabinet officials and secretaries praise him for the work he's doing. this is very much in line and character with that. i will tell you, anderson, talking to sources close to this white house, i talked to one source earlier today raising questions about the strength of some of these statements coming from some of these cabinet officials. i think there is, in sort of the same way they were going through that "new york times" op-ed searching for clues whether this person or that person wrote this in the "new york times." there are allies of the president going through these cabinet officials wondering if they're loyal enough and gives you an idea how intense these are inside the whit

thousands of white workers stayed in south africa. is giving companies exclusive. they say that's racist discriminatory and unfair but what constitutes fairness in the post apartheid era this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program. for the first time in south africa's history thousands of white union workers have staged a strike the furious very employer one of the country's leading energy companies has introduced a your share scheme which is only available to black workers white workers say that's discriminatory and racially divisive by their bosses at sasol say the moves been backed by shareholders and beats bulls designed for black economic empowerment part of a drive to reverse decades of exclusion for blacks and apartheid the company wouldn't give us an interview but on its website says it remains committed to engaging with all trade union partners to our guests in a moment but first for the miller report from secunda. the new shea scheme is infuriating sessoms white employees because it only benefits their black colleagues they don't say we judge y

this is a picture that white house press corps on the lawn of the white house. one of the reporter says laddie boy was supposed to be in the picture. he's right in the front row. he's right here. saidurse right when they they couldn't see him, i said i have to find him now. he's right in this front row there. george, who gave up his house in the campaign. tois personal secretary harding. he's also going to act as a press secretary, although that term wasn't used yet. they didn't have a chief of staff. but he's everything rolled into one. to george to get through the debt you to get through george to get to president harding. he's the one that white house correspondents are going to go to first to say can we talk to the president or when is he scheduled come out and talk to us? going to filter a lot of those press requests. until the hoover administration that they had some of called the press secretary. you can see how we are moving in that direction. until the hoover administration that they had some of called the press secretary. oren harding loved the new tec

the white cars -- >> anthony: white landlords and tenants simply walked away from their property.y, illegally or just squatting, an influx of gangs and criminal organizations, the area soon slipped into anarchy. >> dj les: they say around here, okay? that this building's been hijacked. >> anthony: entire buildings were seized to become superstores for illicit drug operations. everything that could go wrong, did. >> dj les: people make a living from different things. some, they rob people to make a living. or some, they sell their bodies. sometimes, things are -- they don't always go according to what you plan. but this is where i live. this is where my life is. yeah, we go down here. i'll show you. [ yelling ] >> anthony: we walk down the street, and one of the many enterprises doing business on corners and in doorways around us, becomes alarmed at the sight of our cameras. soon there's a mob of very angry people coming our way. we do not turn around our cameras for obvious reasons. these days, things are slowly, slowly improving. >> dj les: but before, you wouldn't walk this free

back to the white house. the white house gave it back to the committee and most senators did not know that had happened. most senators were not moved by the edition of the body of information if they knew about it at all. >> thomas' confirmation hearing were done. two day afrs the fs after the f over. the committee voted on clarence thomas' nomination. they voted 7-7. what actually broke the story open, the whole reason any of us know about these allegations and the controversy that ensued is because nothing to do with the fbi. it has to do with nin nina totenburg. he's she's been the one that broke the news that douglas ginsburg had smoked pot and she's the one that glue up the ginsburg's nomination. four years later who reported that professor anita hill has made this serious and detailed allegations against judge clarence thomas and whether or not most senators knew about it. when any that totenberg broke the story, that's when the story truly broke. before the week was up, the committee decided okay, i gu

so to what extent do you think the white house is removing itself from the white house probe? >> i would be really surprised if the white house is, as trump said, giving free rein to the fbi on this. it's been reported by multiple outlets including your own that there have been significant limits put on the scope of this investigation. they're not letting the fbi talk to swetnick, who has made explosive claims against kavanaugh. it seems like that would be relevant in any criminal investigation of him. they're not letting -- the fbi talked to his old drinking buddies at yale who have is said that the picture he painted himself under oath is very different from the man this they remember, and they're limiting the questions that they can ask mark judge about where he worked at the grocery store, they can't contact the grocery store, so it sounds like the white house is severely hampering this investigation, and there is a lot of questions about whether the fbi can be impartial, anyway, when it is being directed by the white house to do this. >> so, john, laura is talking about h

lincoln used to drive goats down a corridor in the white house. amy carter roller skated in the east room. alice roosevelt gambled, partied and was even seen wearing a live snake. this led her father teddy r roosevelt to say i can be president of the united states or i can control alice. i cannot possibly do both. many presidential have gone on to great things, two presidential children have later become presidents themselves. other children of presidents and their children have made contributions to american life representing a wide variety of fields including educators and enlt faentertainers, activities and artists. steve ford even became a national villian as the boyfriend who broke meg ryan's heart in "when harry met sally." we've been honored to have over 40 descendents of american presidents join us. the unique representatives are from james monroe to george w. bush. and amazingly, it's going to be here in a few minutes, but we'll be a few degrees removed from the tenth president of the united states john tyler. he served from 1841 to 1845.

when we talk about his introduction in his book called carter president in the white house years. stuart is a native of atlanta, went to grady high school where he was an all-american tabasco player. yes, that is true. he then went to university of north where he did not play basketball but tried out that he'd be better as an academic order and graduated phi beta kappa. he went to harvard law school and came to the johnson white house and worked there for president johnson and in 1968 campaign for hubert humphrey. he then went back to atlanta, practice law and became a partner for al goldstein and got to know someone who is running for governor of georgia, named jimmy carter. got involved in helping him and then help jimmy carter in 1976 campaign for president of the united states and was the principal policy advisor and domestic policy advisor during the four years of white house. since the time stuart has served in government as well in the clinton administration serving as initially the ambassador to the european union, later as the under secretary of commerce for international
