i'm a white man. so he turned to the next sad. i understand the suffering of your people and this lawyer said, i'm sorry. i'm a white man. so he turned the walter and he said i was told one of you was a -- that was the term of the time and he looked at walter and said surely it can't be you. but what happened next to me is extraordinary they fought this case clarence darrow. freed the sweet family they were found innocent. but what's more important in terms of walter white's life is clarence. darrow came to give a speech in harlem. and what he said changed for the trajectory of walter white and set the the stage for the second half of white lies because the second half is about politics where harry truman comes in. clarence darrow says in his speech and this harlem church? african-americans in this country for generations vote for the republican party with that question all the time. and if anyone didn't vote for the bat african-american and for the republican party, it would be considered, know treac

stay at the white house overnight. for political reasons one he was married to a white woman and two he was african-american and jfk worried about the political implications of having sammy davis jr. this great celebrity stay at the white house. so it's a story. it's a it's a it's a long story that has major implications and the lincoln assassination changes. i think they're the trajectory of that story and you know, i don't do counterfactuals and i don't know what would have been different it had lincoln lived, but what i do try to show is that for a brief period for four years the white house is different than it was before and it's different than it would be for a long time after

it sets off white people. they're coming for our [bleep] law. >> the panelist went along and they themselves hit the buttons saying white supremacy is alive and well in the united states. andrew sullivan hit back and defended america. >> it's very hard to agree with some of the very premises that are being expressed tonight. as if everything is already settled, we know this country s for example, a white supremacy -- is, for example a white supremacy. i don't believe that. i think it's possibly the most absurd hyperbole. i come from -- i'm an immigrant. i have a slightly different view of this. i can tell you america in 2022 is the most multi-racial, multi-cultural, tolerant, diverse melting pot that's ever existed on planet earth and there's no other place on earth even like it. that's why 86% of our immigrants are nonwhite. >> let me ask you a question, andrew. >> laura: all reasonable points, all well-expressed but not to the other panelist a woman named lisa bond who makes a living lecturing other white wo

this is not the first white house school, but it likely was the last time the white house had a school inside. jacqueline kennedy had an experience where caroline had ballet classes outside of the white house, which was no issue until they became until her husband became president and then they were caroline was being followed by reporters. so she decided this is kennedy decided to create what was initially called a playgroup we're kind of evolved into a nursery and then by the time carolyn what caroline was school age became a first grade classroom and john jr. was part of the playgroup ultimately, but it was comprised of children. who were the kids of their close friends and the parents all pulled their resources and funded? the salary of the teachers the parents pooled resources for the supplies books. there was a trampoline that was purchased for the the school kids. it was her way of providing her kids with an environment where they were learning in something like a classroom setting with other children, but again, it was controlled they were. in you know behind these four private

maybe not in the trump white house. [laughter] but they get in there and they shave the edge off of their advice. they shave the edge off of their disagreements because they don't what the president to have to referee amongst people who have some bitter disagreement and make his life harder. that is a huge mistake that i think when we made mistakes any the bush administration, it was when we did not reflect the full depth of this agreement to the president -- depth of disagreement to the president . make it your job when you are in the oval office to sharpen the disagreement. provoke people to say what they said outside of the oval office to the president and make his job dam hard because that is the president's job, is to make the hard decisions and he should make them knowing what everyone thinks. >> unvarnished. kellyanne conway, we will give you the final word. >> don't overestimate how much

proud to share the stage with steve portnoy, who many of you know as a white house -- longtime white house press correspondent. steve, why don't you add a couple words? [applause] s on helping things work better. c: thank you so much, jason, and thank you to the white house correspondence association for putting this on. our organization was founded in 1914, to advocate for the working man -- and they were almond -- who were assigned by publications to cover the white house. the history i believe is relevant as today. president woodrow wilson was a hardy, former princeton university professor who was deeply suspicious of reporters. the late historian stephen ponder wrote that wasn't viewed washington correspondence generally as unimpressive intellect -- that wilson viewed washington correspondents generally as unimpressive intellects. university professor in new jersey governor who was deeply suspicious of reporters. one historian wrote that wilson viewed the washington correspondents generally as unimpressive intellects, concerned with things and pushing family members. he found the

so really as the white house -- the white house is the peoples' house, and i think it's really important to see that every american sees their stories reflected in the white house. their stories, their ancestors stories, they should be able to see themselves in the building. that speech by michelle obama caused a lot of people to head our way to look for more information about slavery in the white house, and we didn't have a lot of that information available at the time, and us launching our initiative is to correct that and add the voices to the narrative and put them in conversation with first ladies, first families, and presidents themselves. they are essential to white house history, and american history, and they are not just witnesses to white house history but they are deeply involved. one of my favorite stories and things that's sort of a correction is an enslaved man for president james madison, paul jennings, he wrote the first white house memoir. it's a pretty remarkable read. in it he corrects a popular myth. there's a popular story that dolly madison when the british come to

okay, and we want you to feel welcome here at the white house. which really is as the admiral said it's the people's house. it belongs to all of us. so just remember that okay. and as the people's house, we believe the white house should be a place for learning and for sharing new and different ideas. sharing new forms of art and culture and history and different perspectives. we want you to visit and we want you to take advantage of these opportunities and maybe see something for yourselves that maybe you never thought you could do or be so i'm happy to welcome you here for our little black history month celebration. i'm glad you guys are here. so many milestones in black history have touched this very house. just to name a few. did you know that african-american slaves helped to build this house? you knew that? did you know that write upstairs in a bedroom called the lincoln bedroom president lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation that marked an important step forward and ending slavery. did you know that happened right here? you knew tha

it is hard in any white house. the next panel can speak to this too, to get outside perspective because it is the difficulty of surviving the day sometimes. >> i want to peel back the layers of what it is like to be in those meetings. it brings to mind the fact that the president is sort of emotional, he is colorful, faulty in his language sometimes. does that exist in meetings? is there space for people to be emotional, colorful when you are debating ideas or is it always more formal? is it on the topic only or does it have a more free-form? jen psaki: it is definitely free-form. >> i ask because the creative prices in the decision-making process has a connection to how people feel when they are making decisions and when they are offering ideas. is it constrained or a free-flowing environment? how would you describe how that goes? cedric richmond: it is free-flowing and when you have people like ron klain who have been around him a long time. even when it is not senior staff that want to deliver something. they wi

of 1924 which made it a felony for a white person to marry or have sex with a non-white person and white was defined. you were only white if you had 100% white blood which is probably impossible for most people and what the court said was. this 300-year history on the part of virginia of separating people this way regulating them banning them from interracial marriage and sex was a policy designed to promote white supremacy, and he said it with capital letters. it was the first time in the history of the court in which it used those words. he used used them twice white supremacy. to name the ideology behind the law and he said, you know under the equal protection clause and the due process clause of the constitution united states. this is unconstitutional and we cannot have it and so at that point there were 16 states who still had laws like this at one point there were 41. and so that was the beginning of the that was the formal dismantling of one plank in jim crow the last plank in jim crow and since then in 1967 when it was decided the social barriers to interracial mixing. have come

she didn't like the idea of redecorating the white house a lot of people say dolly redecorated the white house, but what she did was restructure it in a way that mrs. kennedy would have proved by this is amazing that before dolly's white house, which is called the executive mansion and it would only be during her tenure where it would get that familiar loving nickname the white house there was no place in the in the capital city where all the men of government could get together. let alone their families let alone visiting diplomats. let alone visiting americans let alone anybody it was so what dolly did was she took that executive mansion and she turned it in to a center for entertaining where everybody in town would show up and they did and she threw weekly parties and they were as regular and as grueling as they sound but they became an independent and indispensable part of the washington political machine. and it's in those parties. i can tend that these people learn to work together in a bipartisan ways going towards something they didn't even know is going to happen, which is that

>> and moving into the white house. well, yes. and they were the first couple to move into the white house. but nobody state terribly long. it went impressed. i think abigail, in some ways, embodies another part of partnership that diana is talking about. she really wasn't interested in what they would call presiding. so, she adopted mergers innovations and ceremonies rather dutifully, but the role that abigail played was really that of advisor. she really was her husband's closest adviser. and in the spirit of republican virtue, that's well republican virtue, john adams made a terrible decision not to change his cabinet, so he ended up with a cabinet full of [inaudible] coal traders all working behind his back, that he was always relying on abigail, but in that particular circumstance, she really was his very closest adviser. >> and that's fascinating that you mentioned that, catherine. because really, coming up to muttered first ladies and contemporary first ladies in terms of personnel issues, we know for example that nancy rea

there's the white working class. there is a working class broadly of all of all racial backgrounds as well as white suburban voters as we see also sort of some of them in play which has led to different outcomes in the congress and frankly in the presidency. so, to think that our politics is just static as stuck and static and it's like it's a trench warfare between the two. there's actually been some movement which is interesting and if that resolves into it one large new electoral coalition, i doubt it, but who knows right, but you know, you know, i think we if we were sitting here in 2012. we never would have predicted 10 years later. oh, yes, you know you're going to have i think it was 40% of hispanic voting for a republican much as a republican who wants to close the border right like that. just seems you know, kind of would have been seen crazy someone back then. you know, it's really interesting because there's two ways of having this conversation right one is about politics and about the voters and the peopl

should i be for my whiteness? >> i decide to give up whiteness for lent myself. here we are. to give up blackness for lengthy church to be in flames within mere moments. i think you can have a message that we want to be more inclusive with our liturgy. more inclusive other church music. for example will have hymns will have duke ellington towards the end of his life became very religious and wrote masses and so on. to compare contrast that is a wonderful message. you're going to ignore the white message. this is a horrible message at easter or any other time. and invite other cultures without saying to roughly 45 -- 50% of the country go to hell for easter. [laughter] that's a good way of putting it. it's a holy week, it's passover, the most sacred time of the year for people who are religiously observant. this racial lysing of a religion this idea the supposed about the individual or the individual relationship with god. that meaning of life. it's been reduced to sort of racial tropes seems to be for all churches seem to be missing the point. >> woke dennis has become a reli

by getting rid of the disposal authority in the white house i don't really think the white house loses much. i have never understood why it was so necessary to have that just preserving it, leaving it for the archives. and then banning ephemeral systems once again creates a bright line rule. as do these regular issues. those of terms it does create bright lines and simplifies things. because i readily agree with you that the only way we will be able to successfully accomplish this mission is for people to understand where those lines are. >> the other part of this i understand were working on some legislation here to create lines they don't make sense to people there it seems counterintuitive, that is an issue as well. so personal communication as an example how do you delineate that and then the broader issue may be all the panel can talk about balance of preserving the records in the value of public disclosure that we talked about and the importance of confidentiality. where is that line? maybe you can talk about that? >> thank you, senator. i do want to say your point about confusio

he was reportedly told that multiple times by the white house counsel's office and informed by the white house counsel's office that such a scheme was illegal, he pursued it any way. and we have since learned he wasn't alone. mark meadow's aide, cassidy hutchinson testified to the january 6th investigation that three republican members of congress were present. republican congressman scott perry of pennsylvania, republican congressman matt gaetz of florida and louie gohmert of texas. they were all present when white house lawyers told meadows and them that this scheme involving the states that biden won, that scheme was illegal. mr. meadows nevertheless kept trying for it, even after they had all been told it was against the law. cnn reports today that one of those members, scott perry, texted white house chief of staff mark meadows just a few days after the election that the white house needed to have the nsa, the national security administration, immediately seize communications related to voting machines. he that same day texted the white house that the cia was in on some sort of anti

which led to the privilege of our serving in the white house. before my husband and i had started our journey, in the historic house, everything was quite different. jerry's congress had always been to be -- of the house of representatives. are solid and continuing the democratic majority seem to be distancing him from that goal. in 1973, jerry, who had been serving for nine years began talking about serving just one more term, and then retiring. that sounded like the most wonderful idea to me. as we begin our planning, it never dawned on us that outside influences, might rearrange our plans. and not just slightly. when president nixon was considering his selection from a new bryce president, following mr. agonist reservation. i was aware that my husband's name was included on the list of ten men, who are rumored to be under consideration. i did not give it any serious, thought i was sure that jerry's position as the republican leader was much too valuable to president nixon, for him to be in contention. the ford family, under my direction, we w

do think that there are people inside of this biden white house may be hoping the white house loses ons issue to provide some cover for them to say that a federal judge is forcing them to keep 42 in place? >> congressman cuellar: absolutely. absolutely. there is a debate. if you talk to more of the career folks, they would tell you that they want to keep title 42, but you've got some folks with a lot of immigration activists experience that feel the other way, so i think that will give him a cover without a doubt and maybe even congress if we can add that amendment to the covid relief bill to provide that cover. >> sandra: all right, meanwhile, while american families still deal with spiking inflation, particularly high gas prices, the biden administration says it will resume selling new drilling leases on public lands this week. all this after a court overturned the biden executive action from last year that you, sir, criticize, banning responsive leasing what caused job and gdp growth but the president's envoy john kerry says he hopes this move is temporary and that companies are sit

ten your where it was called the white house. there was no place in the capitol city where all the men of government could get together. let alone anybody, so what dolly did was took that executive mansion and turned it into a center for entertaining where everybody in town would show up, and they did, and she threw weekly parties. they became an indispensable part of the washington political machine. and it's in those parties, i contend, that these people learned to work together in bipartisan ways going toward something they didn't even know was going to happen, which is that this one party republic was going to turn into a two party democracy. >> we are still in the earliest days of this office, but say si focuses on the earliest 20th century of first ladies. so let's turn to her and talk about how the role has changed. has it changed? did it change? did the civil war change it? >> before we talk about change, i think it's worth pointing out that what she has been describing is the consistent through the centuries. e digit roo

one, in terms of how the white house is reacting, it was a joyful day at the white house.ou saw jen psaki afterwards in her briefing try not to tear up because of the emotion of the moment for her and everyone at the white house. politically, it's important to mention, this is a pretty concrete example of president biden making good on a campaign promise. presidents don't always get to do that. he had this opportunity and he fulfilled it by nominating judge brown jackson, and now with her confirmation he can say, i did not just promise to do that, i fulfilled it. it comes politically at a time when he's not doing super well in the balls. -- in the polls. only months still until the november elections, but this could be a positive jolt in the arm for democrats, for progressives, for black women and men who are a an important part of the -- are an important part of the democratic constituency. to your point about mitch mcconnell, certainly that is part of the overall political picture here. if indeed republicans end up gaining control of the senate and perhaps the house as w

this is a push/pull for the white house. very much, ashley. >> thank you. >>> the biden administration may have gotten a short-term reprieve from the politically tough white house decision that would likely have led to a flood of migrants at the southern border starting may 23rd. a federal judge temporarily blocked the administration from lifting a trump covid-19 rule known as title 42. that stopped migration during the pandemic. the court ruling leaving the future of the law unclear. republicans had seized on the decision to lift the rule, as did some democratic senators facing tough re-election contests in border states. republican lawmakers were on the border yesterday. >> we ask them what their plan will be. no plan is given. >> the white house is being pulled in the other direction by members of the congressional hispanic caucus who met with president biden monday. >> title 42 should be lifted. we should focus on border management policy in order to make sure that they have the resources in order to move forward. >> joi
