white house?very interesting, if you did not have the paint on the stone, the stone is from virginia, 30 miles down i-95 towards richmond . you can still visit, a county park today to go back in the woods and you can see the stone and the stonecutters markings. they would break off a piece of the rock, drag you down to the river and, with the help of enslaved workers, would pull it against the shore upstream and offloaded it. they drug it to today, the building ground of t the white e this stone was a gray sandstone. if you were to see it not painted, it would be great. the scottish stonemasons who came with experts in carving this soft stone, they knew that you had to seal it so the water creeping and would not expand and crack the stone further. they whitewashed it. after the war of 1812 and it was burned by the british and rebuilt, after that time it started to be referred to as white house. descriptively referred to as white house or executive mentioned, but the white house, but was not offici

what is said in the white house stays in the white house, and in some ways they really have been some of the guardians of tradition when it comes to keeping, helping new administrations understand what the white house is and how to use the white house. >> i think the white house staff has really figured out how to accommodate families and make them feel as normal as possible, even though there are dozens of people around, dropping off flowers, vacuuming, fixing things up all the time. but you begin to see them as family in so many ways, and that the beauty of this place. it's really the staff who make it home for so many different families over the years. >> as they work here, the events they prepare for provide a window into the home today and its unfolding history. and some, such as the work being done here in the chocolate shop, offer a window into its storied past, as suites of the executive mansion as they look in 1800 are being made for a dinner honoring the original architect of the white house, james hoban. >> the white house is a place of connections. james hoban was george w

she brought to the white house. we did have a luncheon for queen elizabeth and philip in here the day of their state visit. and we were able to point out the mantel set, the clock and the two tortures. there that were her gift from her father, king george, to president truman, when she visited the white house as princess elizabeth. so there years of history in nearly everything in this room. it is a house full of history and the stories of those who have lived here and altered this home over time. and while presidents thoroughly enjoy their time here, others who claim to have not. can still leave a lasting impression on the white house. you youngsters, you better start studying the presidency of the united its work because one of you one of these days will be president of the united states. but i wouldn't advise you to try to be, because if you ever get there, you'll be sorry you were there the happiest that i ever spent my life was the day i left the white house. when the truman moved into the white house with thei

is the white house. we're as close to being there as you could be without actually being inside the fence. this experience will take you behind the scenes. so you see what the white house is really like as a home, as an office, a ceremonial stage and a museum. how long ago did you first envision this? well. for a long time we've been thinking that our wonderful organizing mission, which was founded in 1961 by first lady jacqueline kennedy, should have more of a visible presence. our content has been so much used by the american people. we experience that in a great way. during the pandemic where we thought people were really seeking reliable information from a trusted source that c-span, that's us. and so we were looking for a place that we could take that content and make it more open and available to people we looked at immediately found this space which by happens stats was available 33,000 square feet within a football throw of the oval office from where we stand right here and we grabbed it and it 2

he received mail at the white house. one of them, one of the letters arrived at still in the churchill archives holdings. and it was it was just addressed way. churchill the magnificent the white house washing dc we all get mail of that of that kind. and what i'm suggesting is he was he was becoming some and he using the new popular authority to advance his cause and his was the cause of democracy the cause of freedom. and for this partic killer visit, he wanted to make sure that even though the japanese had attacked pearl harbor, that the alliance would focus on germany first. very important to. get germany out of the way and then deal with japan. and as history unfolded, that's exactly what transpired after that, things settle down and they get to work and they put together the opening of the war linking the u.s. and the british troops. but it's a farce, an ending opening to the series of visits that he to the u.s. and seven different times he is staying at the white house in our business professor at cbs, we often use

white house from the biden white house back into the trump white house. i know you were talking to chris emery before about just the machinations of how exactly that works. but there are essentially incoming and outgoing moving trucks close to the white house, ready on standby, and some hundred members of resident staff as our betsy klein reported, to move the biden stuff out and then begin the process of moving the trump stuff in after a period of, of course, a deep cleaning that goes on across the white house. there will probably be some five hours between now and when the staff here need to get everything done and later, when the trumps return here to the white house as the first couple once more, it will kind of be like maybe they never left. their furniture, art, clothing, all of that should be, if everything goes smoothly, in the places that they are supposed to be. so that they can now proceed to live at the white house once again for another four years. >> tim naftali, what we're about to witness, talk a little bit about the history of that, the h

>> it tells -- it makes a good picture of what we did in the white house and before the white house.t doesn't cover the time of our lives after i was president. that is in the carter center, which is next to the library and museum but it is a very extensive picture of our lives up and including the white house time. >> there is a notation from your mother that says on your baby book, it is jimmy now, but later it will be jim. what happened? >> my father's name was james earl and i am james earl jr. and everyone called him earl and they always called me jimmy. when i began running for president i had a hard time with some secretaries of state who refused to use my nickname on the official documents. i had to go to court in two states to get jimmy on the ballot instead of james ehrlich carter jr. but all the time i was president i signed the official laws and documents with the name i have always used, jimmy. >> a lot of letters back and forth your family when you were in annapolis. were you a prolific writer? >> i don't think my parents would agree, they always complained i did not wr

carter white house? rosalynn: yes. the upstairs has a hall all the way down with rooms on the side and the dining room was icon of across from the bedroom and a kitchen that i think jackie kennedy had ranged. before the president appear families wept downstairs. it was not the big state dining room but were more form. some of them we were told the eisen hours ate off tv trays but when jackie was there with babies she had a kitchen put up stairs and that was just normal. i see chip is dressed up. that is not always normal. >> the tree house and looks like you are facing amy on -- chasing amy on. president carter: i don't remember the chase. amy was a typical 9-year-old child who went to the public schools and bring classmates home. she wanted a tree house so i designed it and they wouldn't let us nail it on to the tree so i had to do it so it was self-supporting but she would spend nights up there with the friend and grand sons would spend all night with her in the tree house. amy was only 13 when we left

dana white inside. and mark zuckerberg, tim cook, some of these tech executives who we have seen try to curry favor with donald trump this time around, this is certainly a different inauguration for donald trump than it was eight years ago. i asked him about that, how it felt different, he didn't answer that question. but he did say he is feeling very good today. jake? >> yeah, if i could just before i throw it to anderson bring back the photograph of the tech bros inside st. john's church. one other thing i want to show, so we see mark zuckerberg on the left with the curly hair, ceo of meta, tim cook, his face is blocked, white hair, ceo of apple, jeff bezos on the right there, the bald gentleman looking look ing his right, the ceo of amazon, the gentleman behind mark zuckerberg, the ceo of google, sunder pichai. with those four people and elon musk from twitter or x, those five people that i just mentioned, the four in the photograph and also elon musk, control so much of the information that we recei

more exits from the white house. we will watch the first lady and the incoming first lady, out -- come out. host: we'll see more of those exits as the morning progresses. as we head to the u.s. capitol, let's hear from raycen in tennessee, republican line. caller: hello. i want to say happy martin luther king day. and i want to say it is a great day for mostly all of america for, i don't know, donald trump winning. i'm really happy he won. there's a lot of reasons. i don't think there is enough time to list them all, but i want to be happy for the peaceful transition of power and everyone being civil about this. and everyone can be happy it was a nice transition of power. host: from joe in maryland, independent line. caller: hi, yes, sir, good morning. two questions for you and a quick statement. you called steny hoyer though former congressman. is he a former congressman? did he lose or is he still in there? host: he is a former congressman. caller: wow, he's out now, i didn't know that. and you call doug emhoff the

the part of this white house council on future white house counsel, one of them being the supreme court's on immunity, that has to affect the work of the white house counsel. not the only not the only affected legal officer or legal legal official in the government, to be sure it will be reviewed closely by the department of justice and and others. that's one that i think has at this point unknowable effect on how legal advice is presented to president. because precedents of. when provided with advice of on very sensitive issues or advise on the consequences. for example, in terms of potential impeachment and would be advise also in of potential consequences of liability. that's one. the second special counsel regulations mentioned. i think for a variety of reasons we don't have to go into detail here or a dead letter. i think they have failed of their intended purpose. that is, we had the experience with the independent counsel statute that didn't work was replaced by the special counsel regulation ations. those have clearly not functioned, even according to their own terms. now, whether

white house, bill allman. and we wanted to borrow a couple of that she had acquired for the exhibit. and i said to mr. allman, i said, you know, i'm sure you have some stuff the white could the white house has this huge warehouse of things. and i said, i'm sure you have some pieces in the warehouse that you could lend us. he said, oh, no, everything she is so good that it's all here in the in the residence, in the mansion. and they gave us a chair from the green room and a painting which was pretty cool. but you know, her, her efforts at the white house building on jackie kennedy started. tell us a little a little bit more about them. oh, indeed. white house historical association. of course, jackie kennedy starts this, i believe, 62 rooms around there. so mrs. kennedy deserves credit for starting that. but of her time in the white house was short then lady bird comes in and lady bird is into and outdoors of course famously and did a bang up job on that. to be fair to lady bird, she couldn't have touched anyth

comes back here to the white house. there will be more than we're learning 200 executive actions with a number of executive orders. many of them dealing specifically with rebuilding the border wall. we're learning that trump will order the department of homeland security, department of defense to resum construction of the border wall and u.s. troops to be deployed to the border under u.s. northern command. will instruct the military to prioritize our own borders and territorial integrity. fox learned trump will reinstitute remain in mexico, end catch and release and open up energy and expecting to learn a lot more about those orders as the morning goes on here and the inaugural festivities. staff are expecting to hear a much more from them that then president trump will be signing and returns back to the white house. now we're waiting on what are the traditional inaugural festist. blair house. president-elect stayed there last night and since jimmy carter back in 1977. they often review their inaugural address, sign the

the white house. it doesn't cover the time in our lives after i was president. that is basically part of the carter center, which is next door to the library and museum. but it is a very extensive picture of our lives up to and including the white house. >> there are a number of things i want to ask you about. there is a location -- notation from your mother that says on your baby book that it is jimmy now, but later it will become jama. that never happened, did it? fmr. pres. carter: i was always jimmy, and my father's name was james earl. i am james earl junior. everyone called him a earl, and me jimmy. when i began to run for president i had a hard time with some secretaries of state, who refused to use my nickname on the official documents. i had to go to court in two states to get jimmy on the ballot instead of james earl carter junior but i signed the official balls and documents with the name i had always used, and that is jimmy. >> a lot of letters back and forth to your family when you are in

both sides, the white house. and then any moment now they're gonna make a left and head down the 16 blocks on pennsylvania avenue. so here they are on 15th street here washington. you are. if you're wondering, how are we getting the shots? there is group known as the pool that get stuff that gets randomly assigns to the president and and they are the ones who are taking these images. i believe in any event event, the images of them going down, 15th street here and they're going to be moving down pennsylvania avenue block by block by block. potentially or maybe down constitution will seem like an event. and it is a very short ride. for these 2 men, mulvaney, someone who knows what it is like to be in side. this vehicle inside ndthe beast with donald trump joins me live a remarkable moment here. >> as we hear some cheers, it actually listen to this for a second and i'll get you momentarily. so, we're not this is a take different take on this because of the weather weathe today. but r still just a special. what's it

house paand now the trump white house.sk was in a significant position and spoke at capital arena before donald trump did and he's been seen in the west wing. >> elon musk has already been spotted in the west wing, he's been given an all access security pass to the white house and sources tell us he's likely to ultimately get an office in the west wing close to president trump. >> just before we came on the air i asked you this, the letter from joe biden, was in in the resolute desk and waiting for president trump? >> we saw donald trump discover the letter, pulled it out, teased reporters that he might read it. didn't do it. we saw joe biden's handwriting, number 47 on the front. >> continuing the tradition, 46 leaving a note for 47. thank you. president trump signing more than 200 executive actions, clearing the rioters, moving to the border, to energy, ending climate change initiatives, reversing many of biden's moves. rachel scott is at the white house. >> reporter: just hours after he was sworn in, president donald tr

i'll note she's actually the youngest white house press secretary in white house history. she formerly served as trump's spokesperson for his campaign, so she will not be a stranger to any of his supporters. she ran unsuccessfully for a seat in new hampshire, and now, of course, she will be taking the podium at a time when there are a lot of questions about all of the activity that we have seen out of the west wing in just over a week of trump's second term, boris. >> and of course, we'll get back to you, caitlin, once the action there gets underway. for now, let's bring in cnn chief media analyst brian stelter. brian, what will you be watching for during today's briefing? >> during his first term in office, donald. >> trump did not want a free and fair press. he wanted a subservient press that would promote his agenda and stop with the pesky questions. during his first term, he stopped with briefings altogether, discouraging his aides from taking questions. but we also know that donald trump loves attention, and right now he's getting so much attention through his own q&a

did before the white house. it doesn't cover the time of our lives after i was president. that's basically part of the carter center, which is next door to the library and the museum. but it's a very extension i have picture of our lives up through and including the white house time. >> there are a number of things in the museum i want to ask about. first and foremost, a notation from your mother that says on your baby book that it's jimmy now, but later it will become jim. that never happened, did? president carter: no, i was always jimmy. my father's name was james earl. i'm james earl jr. everybody called him earl, and they always called me jimmy. when i began to run for president, i had quite a hard time with some secretaries of state who refused to use my nickname on the official documents. i had to go to court in two states, as a matter of fact, to get jimmy on the ballot instead of james earl carter jr. but all the time i was president, i signed the official laws and documents with the name i've always us

i never had a service in the white house. my predecessors would invite billy graham to come in and have sunday morning service and the east room of the white house. i never did. i had i went to church at the first baptist church, and sometimes i taught school without any prior notification, but i kept the two completely separated. but they have been merged now in. a very uncomfortable way for me. and so that's another one of those transcendent societal or political issues that changed during that very crucial four years. did you do anything to, uh, to tick them off or this was this a culture change that was sort of in process during your white house years that really it wasn't even about you by time ronald reagan came along? yeah, it was in process. and i did a lot of things to take them off of as one of their main things that they opposed was the creation of a new department of education and another one was the nuclear arms agreement with the soviet union. another one was my not being in favor of prayer schools. um, so there

they killed a white private, seized control of the prison. i mean, this just kept going on, spilling out of fights and barracks and bars. it got to the point in west germany where, junior officers and ncos said they go into the barracks unless they were armed. national, international incidents. it was a crisis and it got to the point where the chief staff of the army and the secretary the army said if racial violence and racial conflict in the army had gotten bad, that it threatened the possibility of fulfilling its mission of national defense and had to do something about it, which was not the story they expected to be telling. what did they do about it? uh, they tried pretty much anything they could think. i mean, it was. it was a problem that had been cropping up, so had been trying ad hoc decisions and ad hoc programs. the first thing they did was, the secretary of the army, stanley razor, out before the association of the us army, and he said, we can't be colorblind anymore because color blindness was the solution that the army had tried

over white for evening. she was interested in fashion because she did this drawing and was talking about it. here is an example that survived from 1910. in the collection. you see that the bands down the front are embroidered and stitched. all of this head embroidery hand-- embroidery was done by massive amounts of workers. in 1914, she was involved with an organization to support the lace makers in belgium, part of it the united states support of belgian during the first world war. she became very influential. in the exhibition, you will find this lace of st. michael, and the pattern was drawn out and was pricked with a needle. it was laid over a fabric, i am sorry, in this case, it is late over a pillow and, where the leaders are, it was pricked and it was woven around all of those pins. there is a student, a young woman, earning her living, they earned two francs a week. they had trouble with the germans. they were allowed to export lace but it could not be political. some had cities in flames within the

the new white house press secretary has not set foot in the white house press briefing room.ne of donald trump's white house press secretaries never set foot in the white house press briefing room in the last trump presidency. that last trump white house went over 300 days without a press briefing, 300 days. and then four years ago, this is what happened in the white house press briefing room on inauguration day. >> good evening, everyone. thank you for joining. >> us on this historic day. it's an honor to be here with all of you. when the president asked me to serve in this role, we talked about the importance of bringing truth and transparency back to the briefing room. and he asked me to ensure that we are communicating about the policies across the biden-harris administration and the work his team is doing every single day on behalf of all american people. there will be times when we see things differently in this room. i mean, among all of us. that's okay. that's part of our democracy. >> the trump white house doesn't think so. they don't think that's part of our democra

we had two white houses the last year. one white house dealt with america and its problems and challenges and successes. the other dealt with the iran hostage crisis. it was separate, but i had to worry about both simultaneously. that was the worst year of my life, the last year i was in office, when hostages were being held. i did not know if i would come home safe and free or be -- if they would come home safe and free or be executed. even with strong support around me, we had to launch a military attack against iran because they were causing us to be distressed and embarrassed around the world, but i held off because i felt we could've wiped iran off the map, no question, with our powerful military force. but if i had bombed iran, i would have killed may be 10,000 innocent iranians, and i don't have any doubt they would have immediately executed our hostages. i decided i would pray a lot, and i did, more than any time in my life, and all the hostages would come home safe and free, and i would not violate the honor or in

they spend four years in the white house. years of global citizens.arians was really important to them. >> what is the future of the carter center now? i know there is a commitment to sustaining in the future and jason carter has been so involved in that, the grandson who spoke so eloquently and humorously about jimmy carter, the man. >> as the oldest grandson, jason is the chairman of the board of trustees and for us it has been this opportunity the president and misses carter were intentional. they knew this day would come. he wanted to make sure that he has a founder led an organization he was establishing also a founder based organization to continue leadership and the legacy he and mrs. carter put forward. >> thank you so much, paige alexander. thank you for all of the service you do. >> thank you. it is his legacy we all have to live up to now. >> you know so well the work of the carter center from virgin atlanta. expand on all it has been doing around the world. >> well, you know, as paige just said, the mission will continue. jimmy carter has

you know, i always find it funny when a person he's saying white supremacist, a white man saying white supremacy is the problem. i was, but not him. yeah, because he's got his merit badge and he has his blm and his other stuff, so, you know, but not him. interesting. it's virtue signaling. but it wasn't about that. this was about january 6th. this was about starting to lay the tracks. you can't call a guy hitler unless he has followers. so you continue to build the lay the tracks. you put party over people by saying the biggest threat was white supremacists. and who is the king of the white supremacists? well, it's donald trump, president trump. so this was part of the whole plan to get him out and not have the ability to come back. clearly, it did not work, but this was what this was about. so he would say the most dangerous thing that was facing us, because when you make believe monsters up, when you say things like global warming is an existential threat, things you can't prove, so it can go away when you want it and it can appear when you need it. that's what this entire administra
