when you came up with our idea for the one about the white house -- >> white house down. >> white house down. where did you get the idea from and how long did it take you to write that? >> i actually adapted a book by richard clark called against all enemies which he was the counterterrorism czar under president clinton. i was fascinated by the idea of what would happen in a crisis. and much like the sort of being of designated survivor in our film, it's bombing of the capitol, but it's a diversion. that film didn't end up getting made, but i really loved the world and wanted to explore it, but i love big summer popcorn movies. i try to blend the two of them. >> everything you write doesn't get made? >> no. >> i thought everything in hollywood gets made. >> god bless you, sir. from your lips. no, absolutely. i didn't end up getting -- >> white house down, you wrote it what year? >> i wrote it in 2012? i wrote it on speck -- >> speck means you're not getting paid. >> speck means i'm absolutely not getting paid. about a week before i finished it, i read online that a movie called olympus

once it moved to the white house grounds, you could smell the white house easter egg roll before he can see it. >> if they did not find some of the eggs and hard-boiled eggs were left, that created a problem. >> that was the problem. and it was something that even happened in the 20th century. there was one year in the nixon administration where they decided to use a lot more real eggs and a few got misplaced shall we say for it while and that was the last time he did that. >> why did president hayes and his family decide they wanted to take over this tradition? >> the president was out on his daily walk and some schoolchildren covered him and said we have no place to roll our eggs now. he said that is odd. why don't you just come back with me and you can roll eggs on the white house grounds? a couple hundred children did that first year in 1878. >> as time goes by coming to -- time goes by, you tell this in your story -- first of all, who did the illustrations? >> john hutton. >> what were you elaborately -- collaboratively trying to achieve with this? >> what we were trying to do is h

in the white house.et's listen to it. . from the early days of our administration, nancy has been intentionally involved in the ever to fight drug abuse. her personal observations and efforts have given her such dramatic insights that i wanted her to share them with you this evening. nancy? nancy: thank you. as a mother, i always thought of september as a special month. a time where they can go fill those restless mind was so much has happened over these last few years. so much to shift the foundations of all we know and all we believe today, there is a drug and alcohol abuse epidemic in this country and no one is safe from it. one of the things one learns when reading your book is that the irony is that even though she was promoting just say no, she had an issue with prescription drugs. karen: that is correct. you have to go back to the 1950's. she had this 19 -- this very anxious personality. very tightly wound. when women would go to doctors back then, the doctors would hand them a sedative. they had

by the time eleanor roosevelt gets to the white house, she rectifies the situation by firing most of ple. i will let you decide that is progress or not, but it's no longer segregation, because there's only one race working in the kitchen. but overall we see that overall we have these cooks that are culinary artists and many times family confidence. presidents go to their funerals, their weddings, they send them notes, gifts one significant family events happen. we see presidents terribly moved when they have to leave the white house. and a change of administration there is a tradition where the resident staff lines up in the president goes known align and thank them all for their service. the other thing is we see there are often civil rights advocates. they're pressing for african americans to have their humanity accepted and the brighter society. we saw with lucy magnified it for fdr while campaigning, but another example is the front right, a longtime private cook for lyndon johnson. lyndon johnson, when pressing for the 1964 civil rights act, he actually uses her jim crow experien

i needed the white house with that. but i'll add just a little bit because i've answered your question that it was there was nothing not not an iota of truth to their portrayal in the crown. but um, there was a sort of a dramatic event during the dance bob mcnamara linda remembers this bob mcnamara then secretary of defense was twirling around the room christine ford wife of henry ford. it was a beautiful actually gorgeous woman low-cut white gown and and as he was twirling her around she had a wardrobe malfunction and people oh, but you know corrected it right quickly, but you can imagine that was a bitter of the evening. later dinner. i was not seated at the table with the president, but she wasn't of course and there was kurt douglas and happy rockefeller, but the summary answer was none of that portrayed in the crown was accurate. well, let me just add that. quite a few of the social aids dancing with mrs. ford and it's all i saved her. i pulled, you know help with up so but i mean it has been a story over 50 years

what they're hearing from the white house is that the white house is fully committed to getting their support. they really do want this bill to be bipartisan, and i think that would be the best outcome for the american people. >> daniel, let's get into the weeds of this thing. i want to read from a politico piece. the administration's plan calls for electrifying at least a fifth of u.s. school buses out of a fleet of nearly 500,000. the plan also calls for converting the entire fleet of federal vehicles to electric, 650,000. it also contains a staggering 50 billion over eight years to create an office within the commerce department to oversee the nation's critical supply chains whose vulnerabilities have been exposed during the coronavirus pandemic. this piece was really about what folks may have missed in this infrastructure plan. we're talking a lot about the headlines out of this thing, but there is a lot of stuff that we haven't necessarily spoken of that could really benefit americans. >> yeah. there's a ton of things that the biden administration has put into this package to rea

we expect to see in more fuller budget request from the white house in terms of what they would like to do there. certainly, there is pressure from advocates and folks across the country to make investments in social security that will ensure the program's sustainability. the program is facing challenges in terms of insolvency in the coming years, in the near future, and some would argue that the pandemic has made that worse. so it will be interesting to see what they propose were social security and programs like medicare and medicaid. host: the cabinet this week will begin going to capitol hill to testify. one will testify before the appropriations subcommittee on the usda's 2022 budget. we will also hear from the transportation secretary tomorrow, and the hhs secretary. if there is a theme to the wish list, that we will hear from the cabinet secretaries in the hearings, what is it? guest: historic investment in domestic programs. the non-defense programs, programs that do not involve the pentagon or military. that's because we are now on the other side of what was 10 years of stri

let's begin with some action on capitol hill and at the white house. a meeting the president is going to have with members of congress, democrats and republicans. give us details, who will be at the table and what is on the agenda in terms of the issue of bipartisanship? guest: it is truly in for structure week in washington as lawmakers come back from the recess, and it is kicking off with a meeting at the white house with the president, vice president and a bicameral and bipartisan group of lawmakers. that meeting will have california's senator and also democrats and republicans. you can expect to hear from -- hear about the corporate tax rate. president biden is proposing to raise it from the current 21% to 28%. that is something republicans have said they've but he mentally oppose. you can also hear a lot of conversation about whether or not this planned the president has put forward pays for itself. the white house proposes to pay for eight years of spending and we have seen that emerge as a sticking point. meanwhile you have moderate democrats as

reporter: have the white house been informed? jen: not as of earlier this morning but i can check with the national security team on details. reporter: infrastructure, anything you can update on any serious negotiations happening with the g.o.p. on paperwork, anything you can share on infrastructure? jen: what we're waiting for is a counterproposal from republicans in congress. and they've indicated they're working through that. so we look forward to seriously considering any -- any proposal that any good-faith engagement, i should say, that comes our way. but we're waiting. we're on the receiving end for that. we're looking forward to that. on pay-fors, there are two options for to job-creating plan. the president believes it should be done by having corporations pay their fair share. that's what he said, increase the tax. global minimum tax. some in congress think it should be paid for by putting the burden on the backs of americans. we should have that debate but that's a fundamental disagreement. those are the two options. re

what does the white house think about that? press sec. psaki: i would point you to the state of california and local school districts to have the discussions. >> is the president going to change the way he talks about the new georgia voting law? in the interview you reference, he said the law would end voting at 5:00, when working people are just getting off and and voting hours early so working people cannot have their vote after their shift is over. the washington post gave that claim for pinocchio's, because that part of the law gives counties the options to extend voting hours. i am curious of the president will change the way he talks about this. press sec. psaki: fundamentally the president does not mean -- does not believe it should be made harder to vote. this bill makes it harder to request and return absentee ballots. it collapses the length of george's runoff elections, making a harder for large jurisdictions to offer early voting. it proposes rigid nude -- rigid new person -- rigid new restrictions. in his view, we need to mak

for white house style we still appreciate today. during his presidency, monroe undertook two initiatives that consciously or unconsciously echoed those of george washington. in 1789 washington conducted a four-week tour of new england, a claim by the people wherever he went. in 1817 monroe also went on tour, visiting not only new england, but all of the northern states and territories over a period of 15 weeks. he cruised the chesapeake region in 1818 and in 1819 spent five months visiting states of the south and west. the popularity of these presidential excursions, particularly the first one, produced what one newspaper called an era of good feelings in the country. the term endures as a catchphrase of monroe's administration. in foreign policy monroe revealed a philosophical closeness to washington whose farewell address cautioned his country to avoid becoming entangled in european power struggles through political and military alliances. of all the advice washington left, this is the one that endured the longest. certainly the o

did you note biases within those white house press briefings? guest: we did not really track the questions by he was asking them. -- by who was asking them. that might be something we dig a little deeper, we might look at. at this point, we just have the questions, topic of the question. host: what are the thoughts of yourself and your students on the role of the white house press corps these days? guest: they are still doing a good job and you have to keep in mind that the job of the press is not just to ask questions about what the public is interested in. it is to ask questions about issues that are important. it goes back to what walt whitman wrote. when i look at immigration being right up there, the second most number of questions, and when you look at opinion polls, when the public is asked what they feel is the most important issue for the president and congress to address, immigration is in the middle. that is important. things that are happening in china, korea, ukraine are affecting us. host: pew reported earlier, top priorities for t

the president's budget is essentially a proposal, it's what the white house wants to see. and in a lot of ways, it's a messaging document. people call it a wish list, and there's this phrase, the president proposes and congress disposes. but president biden is saying he wants major increases to non-defense programs. health, education, labor programs. public health, things like that. that is really what we're seeing in terms of priorities. a 16% increase is huge. essentially, the president is proposing $769 billion for non-defense programs. at the same time, he's only proposing a marginal increase for military funding. we've already seen that run into resistance from both republicans and progressives. just a wish list, but there's a clear emphasis on a need for domestic investments. >> we welcome your calls and comments.

what do you believe the white house needs to say to china about taiwan? >> what we have to do is engage in action? we need the show of force in terms of the freedom of navigation operations not only in the south china sea but in the pacific but also in the black sea and what russia is doing in the ukraine as well. we need to make sure that we maintain a strong military, and i believe you achieve peace through strength. and president biden is being tested and i certainly hope he is up to the challenge, i have my doubts. >> john: you should point out senator, as we are watching and listening to you, we see the ceremonial guard that is arranged there on the white house driveway where prime minister suga is expected to arrive shortly. the threat assessment dated april 9 set about china, challenging the united states in multiple arenas especially economically, military militarily and, china is the ultimate goal that is anything less than becoming a dominant superpower in the world. >> that's exactly what this is stating and that's how they are asking. there ca

how is the white house likely to respond to this? i is key here, her saying she's not going to put it in the house. therefore, this particular bill is not going to become law. what this means for the white house overall is this is a conversation that democrats want to have. it's been commissioned ted white house to possibly expanding the size but there is real worry here especially for democrats coming toward 2022. this could be a real republican talking point. in some ways it already is, but if republican seize on this issue along with immigration and seize on the idea that democrats are trying to change institutions in order to have justice be in their political favor this could be a complicated factor for the white house. that is why the white house has not thrown any support behind expanding the court. while it's a conversation some the base are having i think it's a little early to say whether or not there is a plan going forward in the supreme court to at all change. >> monica, let's look ahead to the next hour or so. what are w
