jimmy carter thought he could govern the white house without a white house chief of staff. he didn't have one for two and half years. completely miscast. it wasn't until the final year of his presidency that he realized he had to have a chief and he found a guy named jack watson. it was too late to really help carter. i think bill clinton spent all of his time picking his cabinet to the detriment of his white house staff. he really pick them at the last minute. he was not interested in being disciplined particularly. it was only when leon came in a year and half in that the clinton white house just turned it around. i think there are some models. there is a model of white house governance that requires every president has a white house chief who is empowered to do all of the things that jack and the really great chiefs have done. it's not easy to find great chiefs. they have to have white house experience generally. they have to have knowledge of capitol hill. deep political savvy. managerial acumen. a world-class temperament. and if they are lucky, a really good long-term

the white house. well, with us to give deeper insight into pat nixon and betty ford, we have some distinguished people on this stage, susan ford bales only daughter of president and mrs.. susan is the sponsor, the aircraft carrier uss gerald r ford and recognize one of her extraordinary service as the ship's sponsor. susan was named an honorary aviator by the united states navy, becoming only the 31st american ever to receive this distinction and the first woman ever to be so honored. she is the recipient of three honorary doctorates and is the author of two novels set in the white house. i'm waiting for those novels. get on tv now, because the netflix we need to clean up next looks a little. edward cox next to susan, the son in law of president and mrs. nixon. many of you recall that the hauenstein and the ford held a joint program. i figured it out 12 years ago. you asked when it was 12 years, 2011, where we were at the ford museum and featured ed cox talking about what it's like to work with presid

jimmy carter thought he could govern the white house without a white house chief of staff. he didn't have one for two. and half years. hamilton jordan was a de facto white house chief and completely miscast. and it wasn't until final year of his presidency that he realized he had to have a chief and he found a guy named jack who was superb. it was too late, really, to help carter. i think bill clinton spent all of his time, his cabinet, to the detriment of his white house staff. he really picked them at last minute. he not interested in being disciplined, particularly. and it was only when leon panetta came a year and a half in that the way the white house just turned around on a dime. i think so. i think that, you know, there are some models, there is a model of white house governance that that requires that a every president have a white house chief is empowered to execute his agenda and to do all the things that the jack and and the really great chiefs have done. it's it's not easy to find it's not easy to find great chiefs. they have to have white house experience. they

so white house's destination, white house's patriotic symbol. so why am i showing you the west side? because by the mid- and late 19th century, the facade that's depicted tells the story of what the content of the cartoon is. and the first story that gets told is the presidency becomes important enough that there are spoils to be had, and those spoils come out of the side, come out of the front. nobody's going to take wealth out of main entrance. so it's the side of the building that gets depicted. and puck magazine, it was a weekly publication from about the 1850s to 1917 side, spoils of presidency, it's the side. want to know what cleveland is thinking? you go to the side. why doesn't the side appear in editorial cartoons anymore? i think that is because we don't associate spoils with the presidencyanymore. in my transition from facades, i'm bringing you this teddy ruse veltz, running as a train wreck, he's larger than life, squashing the white house. well, that gives wilson the entry, right? and speaking of wilson, now we're getting into the

casey white only cares about one person, and that's casey white. >> authorities say casey white revealed shootout with law enforcement. >> tonight, what was found in that car. >> for authorities that cache of weapons found raises some fresh questions about what vicky's intentions might have been. >> when law enforcement search the car, and they find multiple weapons in the car that vicky had purchased, it really tells you that they are expecting that they were both going to go out in a blaze of glory, because why would you have all those weapons if, in fact, that wasn't going to be the case? >> she had devoted her career to protecting. but when you have that number of guns in the car, that sends a different message. >> the idea that this woman, a career law enforcement officer, was going to shoot it out with other law enforcement, what you make of that? >> that that was tough to swallow. it was it was tough to comprehend. >> after his arrest, casey is returned to prison to see out the rest of his original 75-year sentence and to await trial for his escape. >> "20/20" spoke to casey white

at the white house. it is a public space only. in the editorial cartoon imagination we know the president lives in the white house. as far as i can tell it is really just the public aspect of the presidency. that is the perp this of the editorial cartoon. it is to express an opinion and persuade you to the artist's point of view. matt gunn 20, there is a new president. happy day. somebody else is moving in. no. this ones in america. this poor sucker just to this job and has to deal with it. >> give me a quick hand if you have questions for any of our panelists. i see one in the middle of the front row. here's the microphone. here we go. right here. thank you very much. just a quick question. a lot of the comics recently depicting trump, biden, obama. in the earlier years of comics, fictional presidents and actual presidents. curious when we started seeing fats. >> what i did not show is that we have a comic called jfk. i believe it is early '60s. don't quote me on that way but it is a biography. very sim

and, the white house historical association is essential in being the keeper of that white house history. with us today, he had mentioned we have several guests from the association on behalf of the president and my mother, i would like you to please stand and accept our boundless gratitude for all that you do every day as the keepers of the white house history. [ applause ] >> 40 years ago, the white house historical association began a tradition. each year, they produce an ornament that pays a tribute to a selected president and his family. this year's ornament honors dad and our family's christmas celebrations. the ornament is wonderful and it portrays special parts of our milestones. one of this year's attributes that meant so much to my dad was the uss gerald r ford cvn 78. to our friends from the white house historical association, thank you for all that you do to preserve the history of america's white house. and, please accept my gratitude for this very special 2023 ornament. ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy the video about this year's ornament. thank you all very much. >> the

bush white house, and's liberties show up in the white house. sometimes, done in a more strategic way.john f. kennedy had this famous dinner with paula vasan, where he brought all this great talent, writers, thinkers, to the white house, and he famously joked, this is the greatest collection of intellectual thoughts in the white house since thomas jefferson dined here alone. very famous line. but you've also got to be careful. so, lyndon johnson, a pension for the arts in the late 60's when vietnam is raging. multiple people there objected to the vietnam policy, and they want to pass around a petition to sizing the president's vietnam policy and his own event . charlton heston, who is there, objected strenuously to this and so, i don't it gets polite to be circling a petition against your host when you are in his own home. the promotion there. but who you invite to the white house is not going to reflect poorly on you later on. i think it's a challenge. so, you want the celebrity, because they can bring what i call a selective glory, but they al

the white house was a mine with its mechanism in motion, planted under russia. left, the explosion was inevitable. yes, shoot, pavel sergeevich, shoot to save russia, save civilians, save millions from civil war. if the president is allowed to storm this building, i unequivocally declare that i will not leave here even a single step , i will fight to the end, i personally am not going to give up, i have a principle, it is better to die as a human being than to live in the face, here the tanks were, you see, here this is the distance, how much here it will be about, well, 600 meters, that’s right, 153-caliber high-explosive cumulative shells are hitting the building, it was burning. the authorities are monitoring the growing crisis in the west, in this house, on kutuzovsky prospekt, the cnn company is equipping a studio, it was from here that the very broadcast was conducted, which was watched by the whole world. in the house of soviets, where exactly were you and what did you experience when they started shooting at the building? well , i was lucky, because my o

ford white house. gerald ford white house. of course, there's a new book out about gerald ford from richard norton smith to a lot of people thinking about ford this year. i went to the ford library last week. is lucky enough to be able to go there and see the exhibits and and hear a very excellent presentation. but when i read your book, i mean really. ford it's political culture is not kind to gerald ford. talk to us a little bit about that. well, there's two things going on with gerry ford. number one is that he has a couple of well-publicized stumbles where he falls and one of them was they weren't really his fault. one of them, he was trying to help betty. and a slippery floor. but regardless, these stumbles led to this impress of him as a klutz. now, mind you, gerald ford was probably the best athlete ever to become president. he was expert skier. he was a good tennis player. he was a football player in college and was drafted into the nfl. he didn't play, but he was drafted and so ford was a trem

so it used to be years ago that you had to be white to be a white supremacist. not any longer. we're now living in a world where a gay black woman can be an enabler of white supremacy. well, you do blame some of this division or the illusion division on the media. and i just to read from your book again, the media are risk averse players who are perfectly content to enable a dysfunctional they are sheep and they're rewarded handsomely for delivering narrative conforming news. let's face it, what media does is not science. they're skilled at keeping straight face while dispensing information from a teleprompter that most us are finding harder to accept and present company excluded. of course. that said, is there a solution to this illusion of division. the solution in, my mind, is, at least in my opinion is it. we're on the cusp of a revolution. and i think it's going to be a revolution in the streets. i think it's going to be a revolution in our minds. i think that a growing number of people are seeing the illusions. i think polls this i think surveys reflect this. my anecdotal

hayden to the white house. excited to build our strong and show them pieces of our country that makes us proud. tomorrow, we will visit the national cancer institute some see the incredible work they are doing for children with cancer, a cause that is close to both of our hearts. nurturing our partnerships with our allies is critically important especially in these times. food its comforting, reassuring and healing and we hope this dinner provides a little of that as well. and while we have initially planned for the leg again dare b-52's to perform their dance and party music, we are now in a time when so many are facing sorrow and pain. so we have made a few adjustments to the entertainment portion of the. the band will attend the dinner as guests. and the president's own marine band and the army and air force strings will provide instrumental music for the dinner. the united states and australia may stand on opposite sides of the globe, different hemispheres, different seasons, but despite our distance, we sh

all this about white phosphorus ammunition, and he was also baptized as a silent killer.the substance dissolves well in the human body and poisons it slowly. in addition, these weapons seriously affect the environment, leaving behind literally scorched earth. in case of explosion air bombs with white phosphorus at altitude, the ignited substance covers up to 200 km. when mortar mines are detonated, enemy forces are also showered with melted pieces of metal. in the area where white phosphorus is used, this substance causes fires, inflicts damage to manpower, infrastructure facilities, deprives the enemy... of room for maneuver, and also diverts forces to eliminate fires, prevent the spread of fire, provide first aid to victims, white phosphorus poses a particular danger in dense urban conditions developments. such shells were first used during the first world war, but phosphorus became especially notorious during the war in iraq. the americans generously poured prohibited ammunition into residential areas and villages of the islamic republic. such shells are capable of des

what does the white house do for this, how confirmed john kirby, the white house national security team is currently working with congress, including meeting with key congressmen this week to first explain what the situation is in both israel and ukraine, and to prove , why it is so important to approve a package of additional funding for ukraine as soon as possible, he said that this work will continue, because the united states understands that it is necessary to act now. of course, in the united states , developments are being followed very closely, in israel as well, and do they see the american government as a threat to their own security at this moment? ostape, this is a very important issue, as the white house said today, just a few days ago, the president of the united states instructed his national security team to do everything possible to strengthen security, particularly around the jewish and muslim communities, and also to strengthen security in such cities like washington, because there are so many diplomatic offices of different countries, at the moment, as john kirby sai

happy nigerian independence day is the white house the white house bureau chief of the washington post and the coauthor of his name is george the 2023 pulitzer prize winner for general nonfiction and and a finalist for the national book award. he joined the post in 2019 and has covered the last three presidents previously. he spent five years at bloomberg news. we reported on politics and policy from washington and florida. he's reported from continents and more than 20 countries as part of the presidential press corps. he started his career at the miami yay introductions. so i have a lot of specific questions for each of you individually, but i want to start with a few questions that i want to ask everybody. and i think that's when you decided start writing the book. what did you think about? the state of where america is at and has that changed in any way since you wrote the book? yeah, well, i for me and first of all, thank you thank you for this introductions. it's really fun. be up here on stage with friends and also to be here in person talking to folks and talking to readers, wh

of course the white house says -- the u.s. says they are still assessing the intelligence surrounding this incident. israelis have provided some intelligence to the u.s. which it is analyzing at this time. and so far the u.s. has not assigned a responsibility to anyone for this blast. of course you have hamas saying it was israel and israel saying it was the jihad group. but this all speaks to the volatility and quickly shifting nature of this trip. of course president biden in addition to meeting with netanyahu in israel, he was set to travel on to jordan for a critical summit with the leaders of egypt, palestinian authority and as well as jordan. but that was completely scrapped after that blast at that hospital. one of the key concerns going forward is what the u.s. and the arab allies can do together to try to open up the humanitarian corridor to get aid into gaza. the white house saying that they want to ensure that there is sustained aid to gaza, but also broader questions about how civilians will be impacted in this con

it is called the white death for its destructive effects. temperature 1200°.merging fire that is almost impossible to extinguish. all this about white phosphorus ammunition, and he was also baptized as a silent killer. the substance dissolves well in the human body and poisons it slowly. in addition, this weapon seriously affects the environment, leaving behind, literally, scorched earth. when an aerial bomb with white phosphorus explodes at altitude, the ignited substance covers up to 200 km. when mortar mines are detonated , enemy forces are also showered with melted pieces of metal. in zo. non-use of white phosphorus, this substance causes a fire, damages manpower, infrastructure facilities, deprives the enemy of room for maneuver, and also diverts forces to eliminate fires, prevent the spread of fire, provide first aid to victims, white phosphorus is especially dangerous in dense urban areas. such shells were first used during the first world war, but phosphorus became especially notorious during the war in iraq. the americans watered abundantly prohibited

you wore white. tell us why i wore white? because that was the color adopted by the suffragists when they were advocating for the 19th amendment. i was the vice chair of the women's suffrage centennial commission. so that's very meaningful. me and i wanted to really invoke spirit as i took the oath of office as the first woman to become archivist the united states. what does it mean to you to be the first woman? it means a lot. it means, i think, a lot for representation and i think it's very important for young girls and boys to see women in these roles. i think it also means a lot to those who work in this area in libraries and archives and museum cms, which is a profession and career track, which is dominated by women, but oftentimes times, although it's changing, oftentimes don't see women as in the leadership in those organizations, what do you think you bring to role as a woman and how it differ from your predecessors? well, i think my predecessor was very supportive of of covering the full american story, which would i

but it was assumed that if people there used trace gas, but no one was there, everyone left the whitet somewhere between four and six, i don’t think i understand, it’s 9:00, the tanks are standing, he called and said they didn’t take the blanks with them, they brought shells, but the shells weren’t supposed to be fired at the white house at all, the guards were supposed to shoot with blanks. yeltsena studied the house of soviets well back in august of ninety-one. then it was, as they said, the headquarters of democracy, and knew all the features of the building and the possibilities of its defense. and here is how yeltson, in his memoirs, describes the reasons that prompted the decision to shoot at the white house. i remember grachev’s look, a heavy look. oh, how hard it was for them to do it decision to use military weapons in peacetime . for soldiers and officers, the most difficult tests, we understood this back from the august storm, then no one wanted to kill anyone, the white house was a mine with a running mechanism planted under russia, there were minutes, seconds left, the ex

right, looks on the actual white house. the white house. and you could just feel the history all around you. so that's the key thing. the other thing we would do is talk to we brought them together with some of the people in. there weren't that many that had worked. the lbj administration and just to hear them talk about what what they were like and the families legacy, there was a little bit of a conversation about the family family legacy. and it's funny when we did when we finally did the premiere here in d.c., we did it over at the archives and they pulled out the bill of rights, you know, like it's you. you just can't you can't step away from the import of the history and understanding this country, how people live who these people were and what they had to face. what you're talking about, i mean, i saw the film, honestly, that's you got to make that movie. who would watch that? i would watch that, right. if we're all going to be that way. but in that that's why it's it's it's critical what you're doing and it's why it's so good. every

is white, every seat in every government body is white.usav if he comes to russia. why not to kiil? that is , it won’t be good at all, by the way, i wonder if he’s from pakistan, right? no, in pakistan he doesn’t want to make a similar speech, simply changing the white to - another adjective, vür? noir is already there now, of course, but still, somehow, how is it with the chinese, is everything okay? yes, with the chinese, and this is not considered racism, of course, but this is not, this is not russia for europeans, all that is not russian. in 2 years, in 2 years this speech lost the actuality, now he would say, so to speak, it’s clear, the main one is a heterosexual man, the main one is a heterosexual woman, this is not good at all, where are the gays, where are the transgender people, just what is this leading to, degradation, most of all , i am afraid that some fools, who, by the way, were once deputies of the state duma, trusted even by our president, and are now here... wandering around through different channels, suddenly begin to

attack on the russian white house, a tank shot at to the white house - this is an act of intimidation intimidation, this is nonsense, this is revenge, this is a determination to destroy, don’t go out like that, don’t give up, so to speak, we will crush you, we will kill you, i i think that today we need to take the kremlin, the remains were not taken, of course, not despair, this was an act of suppressing by force those who resist, we were not preparing for war. we hoped that we could come to an agreement , maintain peace in the capital, and there would never be anything more on our land, of course, there is a share of my fault, but the main culprit for what happened is the president of russia, yelets, if the pilots can hear me, raise the combat vehicles, save . perishing, those who went against the peaceful city and unleashed a bloody massacre of criminals, there was no longer despair, there was a spectacle, of course, to put it mildly, it’s bad, i think that it was an act of intimidation, of course, and in general this is the final act, because there was no other way out, then this

towards evening, the entire top of the white house.e to his rich military experience. did you have the opportunity to leave the white house and avoid arrest? avoid, but it's the same thing escape. well, how would they treat me after that, that is, you don’t have such thoughts at all. no, this is not in my rules, firstly, i’m still, uh, a military man, and i clearly and clearly understand what betrayal is, so i’m not capable of doing this, leaving people to run away, as i was going through, so, when the alfovites left, we went out, as they ordered, and we are waiting, then korzhakov appears shouting, khazbulatov, rudskoy, so go there and he was with the alfovets, and he answered the questions of the deputies, he said, that’s what they said comrades, and says: this way not a single hair will fall from the head of the khazbulats, we go out, here’s an interesting thing, and there’s such a black crowd, he’s in front, everyone there said that snipers can shoot at me, there’s a chip there, suddenly he goes down this interest officer, who was

tell us about your time in the white house. do you have a favorite memory or place within the white house? >> first, thank you, colleen for having me in doing this event and reaching out to me 20+ years ago when i did my first book. >> [ indiscernible ] >> i was just singing colleen's praises i went to work in the white house in early 2002. i had been a political appointee of the department of labor previously and i came to the bush administration from the hill but i had a scholarly background having gotten a phd as you said from the university of texas. with a great interest in the presidency i wrote my dissertation and then my first book. i had that kind of historical training background i actually had been in the archives and multiple archives and i had seen presidential memos with the presidents writing on the margin so that really gave me the bog and the jones to see what was going on and how it worked in the white house. most people really don't have that understanding when they get there so having worked there i have tha

alba live for us the white house. monika, which i can with you. as this makes its way from capitol hill to 1600 pennsylvania avenue the next couple of hours, perhaps even sooner than that, let's cross over to ali vitale, tracking all of this for us on capitol hill. ali, we now have the vote. 88 in favor, nine no. and to not present, including senator tim scott, who was not there today. and the michigan senator debbie stabenow. who i believe has covid and was not there for the vote as well. but tell us about how this vote obviously went down as expected? tell us about those that voted no, and perhaps why they voted no on? this >> look, you and i were talking about this before, when we knew seven of those nine no votes, we can now total them out, because i know you are looking into who they were. starting with senator blackburn of tennessee. ron of indiana, cruz of texas, marshall paul schmidt, vance lee, and haggerty. those are the nine senators that voted no, not entirely surprising, when you look at the concerns many

so the hope might be to turn these white kids into great anti-racist activists who declaim their white privilege. i think, at scale, it's much more likely to produce racists and white supremacists who turn our society into a zero-sum struggle between different ethnic blocs. - how pervasive is this problem? - i think it is now very pervasive. these educational practices are present in many schools. - how many schools? have you quantified this with data? - no, there's no data exactly on this. but if you talk to teachers in schools, if you talk to parents in schools, i see this all the time. this morning, i was interviewed by a journalist who said, "oh, yes, this is happening in the school that my children go to." - so how did this become part of the mainstream, as you claim? - i think it was three things that went on here. the first is the importance of social media, on facebook and twitter, but also on platforms like tumblr, which encouraged people to experiment with their identity, to define themselves by their identity. the second element is that by 2010, universities were awash with

and that order and are white. and so it pulls people into a kind of white supremacist vision. and and the jury's, i think the fact that juries then are white but black people are not allowed have juries of their own peers is very important for understanding the rise of lynching and these other things because lynching becomes a kind of extralegal justice. but this presumption is that justice is primarily a white phenomenon. well, thank you all so much for joining us. thank you again to our panel fitzhugh brundage, jon sensbach and scott nelson the book is a new history of the american south. i hope that you will read it. i hope that you will get a lot out of it. i know that i did. so thank you very much. and thank you to the audience for being here. atlanta history center tonight and. we will see you all again very soon. i have to give.

white phosphorus is particularly dangerous in dense urban areas .ame especially notorious during the iraq war. the americans generously sprayed residential areas and villages with prohibited ammunition. islamic republic. such shells are capable of destroying entire neighborhoods. there have been cases where such weapons literally burned through a person. the use of white phosphorus is prohibited by the geneva convention and the 1980 un convention on certain conventional weapons . by the way, it is the usa and israel that are the countries that have not signed the convention on banning phosphorus shells. but the infamous one caused an even greater resonance. garden of iraqi fallujah. during the assault on the city, the us military repeatedly used white phosphorus in densely populated areas. pentagon representatives initially denied the use of prohibited weapons, but pretty soon the press secretary of the military department, bari venable, had to make an official statement. he admitted that the us army used prohibited weapons, but only against the ene

not white years. thank you chris it's i mean i think. i think i have been surprised in the early days of the book's release at the way in which that what i thought be a fairly racialized to the book has been cut in half by people who have opinions by it about adoption and those those feelings about adoption seem to consolidate the racial views and one hand and split them another. so the i, i really have been quite shocked to find pronounced strong about a book that doesn't say anything. concrete about adoption. i make no policy recommendations. i draw no conclusions. i don't really tell much about the history of adoption. but that particular question about whether transnational transracial adoption is good practice and whether it is in itself racist, whether it's imperialist that that has divided, you know, the population of people who might adopt and who are often drawn to this text so that that has surprised me because for me the central plot line is relationship i have with my brother bear who is a
