the white house, though, is also known as the people's house, and so that really means the white house grounds are the people's grounds. and if you start to think about it that way, it isn't so far removed from a typical suburban home. typically, suburban homes, mine included, have a more formal or dressy front lawn. that would be the north grounds of the white house with the north portico facing pennsylvania avenue, and a more private, hess formal backyard -- less formal backyard. that's the larger south grounds looking down toward the washington monument. and that's pretty much what happens at the white house today. >> let's get to the issue of just how sacrosanct are the white house grounds. are they untouchable? and i don't -- you're an historian, i'm a journalist. neither one of us is a politician. but first ladies, especially in the modern era, they want to go around changing things, there's resistance to that. >> there is. i think it's fair to say that people have an opinion about melania trump's recent rose garden renovation. but hopefully as the history of that site, which i j

white house job. dr. hatfill appears surprised by this. he calls the email unexpected. as far as we can tell he was never officially hired by the white house in a formal capacity. he continues to refer to himself as an unpaid volunteer. what was all that about? we can also show more evidence tonight, at least to us by the committee, of not only dr. hatfill pushing the theory that hydroxychloroquine was a miracle cure for covid but that that quack advice was received by several levels of government, after the fda warned everybody to stay far, far away from high -- hydroxychloroquin here's dr. hatfill writing to the white house. he said to himself that trump has been grossly misadvised on the proper pandemic response to covid. he said both dr. anthony fauci and dr. hahn, the head of the fda, need to be fired immediately, and then he offers his advice on what the president and the country should do instead, which includes, naturally, drum roll, please, quote, the outpatient and proef lactic use of hydrox

this white house does have the current white house, the stitting white house counsel has the power, somee, to overrule any potential objections that the president might take here. we've already seen him claim executive privilege but something else we revealed today is that the select committee has sort of come to a consensus arguing that trump no longer enjoys the protection of executive privilege so they have been encouraging the white house actively pushing them to put aside the institutional concerns, look back at former precedents like in 1977, the supreme court ruling in nixon versus the general services and move forward with the investigation by providing some of the documents which they think are really key to putting together a comprehensive, historic record of what exactly happened during the insurrection and what the president was doing, which is still a big unanswered question. >> it is indeed. gloria borger if the biden white house did that it would surprise a lot of people because usually joe biden is an institutionalist and traditionally quite often white houses stick up fo

i've got the chapter on the western white house. a lot of those photos, it was tough because there's a lot of favorites. >> before we wrap up here i wanted to ask you a couple of questions related to the collection. you decided to place your collection withus and why did you decide to place your collection here ? >> when don carlton proposed the idea i didn't have to think about it. i was like yes, there's a a home for my photos. but most importantly it's not just a place for it to sit and collect dust. it sounds like there would be a living archive for people to come in and study the photos. that's what really interests me. tsit's a working, living type of archive. and then also to be included with so many great photographers that i idolized through the years. and now i'm part of that group so i'm very blessed to be in the company. >> when you as a photographer take a step back and look at this collection as a whole, what do you think the value is of the collection? what is the history? >> it gives it a whole. and it's very importa

white house press secretary dismisses that threat.t. ♪♪ >> they had no plan how to withdraw americans. american citizens are to draw interpreters out, special immigrant visa holders. ♪♪ let's welcome back to the show, house foreign affairs congressman greg sue b. your take on this? we've got growing rising leaks against the president coming out of the white house. reporting thehe pentagon is basically saying the state department and home and security were to slow, lack of urgency and evacuating americans out of afghanistan for the two agencies are now pointing finger at the president of the white house saying he was too slow. the leaks keep coming. yourur reaction? >> i think you're going to see that continue to happen as nobody wants to take responsible before the court in afghanistan so of course you will finger-pointing but at the end of the day present biden committed chief military, the state department was inof charge of the operations on the ground in afghanistan so the department of defense was responding to what they were tel

they believe democrats do control the white house. the house and the senate. they do. they believe they can make a credible case, mitch mcconnell is making this case, that democrats should be responsible for the nitty-gritty of governing and that's not been the case in the past. we should point that out. republicans and democrats have worked together raise the debt ceiling to fund government. if the government funding bill did not include a debt ceiling increase, republicans would vote for it, they say. i think we'll see that next week, because it's not going to get through the senate with a debt creeling from it. -- debt ceiling in it. not going to happen. a default, cataclysmic for our economy, country, credit rating, republicans will make the point democrats are to blame. democrats say republicans blocked it in the senate and republicans will have blocked it in the senate. that's a true statement. >> thank you all so much for starting us off this hour. >>> in a few moments we talk with the number three democrat, washington senator patty murray. >>> while we continue

park across from the white house about 200 yards from the white house residence.he park. trying to avoid -- in the last five minutes, people have come running out of the white house and old executive office building. there was a white jet circling overhead. you generally don't see planes in the area over the white house. that's restricted air space. no reason to believe that this jet was there for any fe nars you purpose, but the secret service was concerned, pointing up at the jet in the sky. >> that was the day that tested and changed about everything. the legendary white house reporter ann compton was in that classroom. the plane went back to washington, and i'm grateful she's in the studio with us today. i want to go back to the beginning. you're on what you think is a routine trip. president bush is in a class room, talking to children in walks the white house chief of staff. >> it stunned me. no one interrupts the president, even in front of a classroom of second graders. i wrote down in my reporter's notebook, 9:07:00 a.m., andy whispers what stuns me now 2

his white house supervisor. this whole thing is almost over. looks like we're about to be done. in another email that same month doctor we steven hatfill forwards a yet to be really study on hydroxychloroquine with a study that had not come out yet. a study that would prove once and for all that hydroxychloroquine would greatly improve survival for covid patients. and look at how he and his email quote >> if fauci and steven hahn edit the fda had done their job 30,000 less people would have died. they have blood in their hands. will he means there is 30,000 americans died because doctor fauci and we stephen hahn did not support the solution to hydroxychloroquine. >> i should tell you this name rings a bell stephen harmful did have a high-profile turn in the news in a totally unrelated scandal 20 years ago a legitimate national security crisis in 2001 five people were killed after a string of letters were sent to news outlets and congressional offices containing in 3x powder. in the course of investigation who se

when you become an official white house photographer is it during a club? >> there's so much work involved in doing the job that you don't get a chance to come up for air. you are kind of in this bubble and you will see your colleagues looking out the window. from my experience, there was so much work involved and focus on the job that until i got out, you realize how special the job was even more so. but yes it is great to be in such a tightknit club, because not a lot of photographers have done this. >> we did a talk with you together and you have been on the other side. what is the difference between what you were doing as a member of the ap and official white house photographer? >> very different. i think as a journalist, working for the media, you are there, you are on assignment and your focus is to illustrate what's presented in front of you, or if you do have access to a behind-the-scenes moment, you record it and put it out there, but it's limited. when you are an official photographer, it's like a whole another world, a whole another universe wher

what exactly did he advise the white house to do? tonight we have something new to add to that. the house committee that is investigating trump's response to covid has just unearthed new documents during the time of steven hatfill's time in office. in these e-mails we get a better picture of just how involved, how engrained inside the white house dr. hatfill appears to have been as he was pushing these lines about how hydroxychloroquine was going to be the solution to covid and how the epidemic was going to end, it was going to burn itself out. this one was from february 2020 when dr. hatfill is advising the white house. he appears to be writing to a friend. he says, quote, good morning, mate. got my first good night of sleep. never met big don but worked close with some of those right under him and helped draft the memos to him. i have never seen anything like it. unreal. i never knew the government could move so fast. it's unbelievable. it's 100% adrenaline rush. another e-mail we can report on tonight's show is in april of last year, dr. hatfill received an e-mail to white hou

members of the white house press pool lodgeed an official complaint with the white house after that.his complaints two days in a row tweeting yesterday. johnson took three questions, white house aides shouted down u.s. attempts to ask questions. on monday he said the markets are sliding, the french are furious, unprecedented wave of mostly haitian immigrants at the southern border, twice today the president walked by and didn't take questions. so it's not just a feeling, it is reality. he doesn't want to talk. >> he doesn't. i think it was yesterday. >> harris: or being kept from it. he has even said they told me i can't do this or i can't do that. >> jen psaki told cnn not long ago. we often tell him not to take questions. if you are competent in your argument she was asked when will the president take questions on all the things you mentioned in terms of fda, booster shots and a strike that killed seven children. i will refer you back to last week when the president took questions. are you kidding me? it was before the things happened. she said it was a straight face. this is where

white houses have. necessarily follow the same procedures and the same organization principles that other white houses did. you know, we knew my colleague andy carney wrote a story about how when president trump was done with documents, he would rip them up and toss them on the floor. you're not allowed to do that. those documents are supposed to be kept for the sake of history. that's the daw. we don't know for sure what documents have been kept and what haven't. by the end of their four years, presumably, they had a system in place, but we don't know what these documents might tell us and that's one reason the committee is looking. >> if these documents are there for the committee to reach, why do you think donald trump is fighting so hard to keep them sealed? >> well, look, on a broad principle, every president fights this kind of thing. every president resists the idea of their white house being open to transparency. it is an institutional, you know, tradition. having said that, more specifically on

jillian: white house just missed g.o.p.umber of americans still stranded under the terrorist threat. here to join us is congressman byron donalds, the latest news is that the taliban is going to let 200 americans and others leave afghanistan. two-part question number one, why do we believe anything the taliban is saying unless we see it to come true. number two, wasn't this the threat all along when we left and left it to taliban rule? >> of course this was the threat. and we should neff listen to the taliban at all. this all could have been avoided and i think frankly everybody knows it at this point. we never should have left americans behind. we never should have left green card holders behind. we never should have left our interpreter and people who helped us on the ground behind. we should have stayed until the job was done. this administration can't make deadlines with g.o.p. senators but they are going to listen to the taliban about an artificial deadline. it is insane. the fact that they are blocking charters is not

the white house grounds? did you see anything that struck you? >> guest: yes. it was quite i remember thinking contemporaneously this is like mad max. one of my favorite scary movies of all times, there were cars abandoned on the street. i initially was going to try to get home to cross over the bridge over the potomac i lived in northern virginia to get my 2-year-old and a 5-year-old at the time, to try to get with them. try to get to the tabs, the cabs were abandoned they did not turn off their motors they were flung open. i don't know where the smoke was coming from. i could not possibly been airborne. there is a smokiness to the air. people running or confused. i was a movie set kind of feeling, surrealistic. what go back to the issue of trying to get in touch with president bush was at the florida at the time edit education event. we know he is trying to do, get back to washington moving to different air force bases before returning late in the afternoon. but that initial hour where you and the others tr

white house racing back on that. we have a. with the white house officials stepping on each other's lines. watch this exchange. >> we have americans stranded in countries all the time. >> it's irresponsible to say americans are strained, they are not. liz: what you say to that? >> one, this is no joke. these people will be hung, tortured and stabbed and choked by electrical wires, stoned. this is as serious as it gets and when you look at their inability to assess the situation and number two, convey it truthfully, the absence of leadership right there is exactly what got us into this situation. we've heard peace through strength. that's what led us into the situation where we were down to 2500 u.s. troops in afghanistan without anybody killed for a year, year end a half to a situation where there's no peace because there's absolutely no strength, intimidated beginning to end from the time they leave to leaving the embassy to the airbase and everything else instead of simply being americans had saying we're going to do it when

what can be done to help out at the border right now from the white house. >> of the white house hadny sense, i'm not sure that they do because were seeing incompetence at a level that i never would've dreamed that we would see out of it administration, one crisis after the other, what they need to do is solicit help from the state of texas they have got to bring people in there to help them and former secretary chad wolf is exactly right they have policies that they could be following and were proven to work when he was serving as dhs secretary and they simply shut those at the biden administration, we are seeing the results, overwhelming numbers these are not just folks from central america and mexico, then from haiti, africa, all over there is 10000 people down there going back and forth in this commander-in-chief that we have i don't think we can afford to keep this guy he's given us an economic crisis, an energy crisis the national security crisis, afghanistan and now back at the border it's worse than it has been in the last nine months and it's been bad the whole time we went

did the white house drop the ball on this? jen psaki: well, first, we share david shipman's frustration that he wasn't confirmed. we felt that he was absolutely qualified, uniquely qualified in many ways as someone who had worked both at atf and also for a number of gun safety of for gun safety organization over time. there's only one. but we also knew, and we are clear eyed about nominating anyone, even anyone has qualified as him. there's only been one qualified one confirmed atf director in history because of republican obstructionism. we moved historically. quickly. there was a whole team of multiple people behind him. we engaged with members of the senate, including the president, engaged with members of the senate about his nomination. we were committed to getting it through. unfortunately, we didn't have the votes to do exactly that. we also have been engaged with him about working to find a job in the administration. that's something that we are eager to do if there's alignment on that. but we believe in his qualificat

senate leaders announced they'd come up with a way to finance what is ultimately agreed on. >> the white housereached agreement on a framework that will pay for any final negotiated agreement. so the revenue side of this we have an agreement on. >> a framework, what does that mean? >> that means we are proceeding. we've made great progress and we're proceeding. >> no real details on any of it. joining us is congresswoman jayapal who chairs the progressive caucus. you have said you'll vote no on the infrastructure bill if the spending package doesn't pass. if democrats lose it all because you and others stood on principle would you regret that choice looking back? >> anderson, it's good to be with you tonight. the two bills comprise the build back better agenda that the president laid out for us in front of congress. and so when we met with the president yesterday he reiterated that he wants both of these bills and the deal that was passed when the bipartisan bill passed the senate was that both bills would proceed in the house because we just cannot afford to leave behind child care, leave beh

talk about the white house's decision to turn over against trump's will white house communications. >> this really gets to the heart of why president biden ran in the first place when i talked to white house officials. they tell me and remind me often, president biden ran to heal the soul of the nation. now, of course initially he was focused on the issues after the charlottesville incident and the murder of elt heather heyer and former president trump saying nazis were good people. that of course rolled into the idea he wanted to come in to restore some sort of descendsy, some sort of justice into the white house. they see the information as information that is needed to make sure that the people who were responsible for january 6th are held accountable. i will say of course while it wasn't that partisan on the day of january 6th i remember standing on this lawn with republicans and democrats telling me this is one of the worst days in american history, allies of president trump saying he needed to speak out. some saying he was definitely going to speak out. and fast forward it it is

right behind me in house speaker nancy pelosi's office, officials from the white house are meeting with the speaker's team and officials from the united states senate as well, trying to bridge this gap. wolf, at this late hour i'm told the house progressive caucus just did a status check with all of their members and all of their "no" votes remain solid at this hour. remember, the progressive caucus chair, pramila jayapal, has said at least half her members are prepared to hold firm and vote no. as of right now that appears to be unchanged even though the leadership here in the house continues to say there will be a vote at some point tonight. wolf? >> we'll stand by for that, ryan, we'll have you back in just a few moments. right now i want to go to our chief white house correspondent kaitlan collins. kaitlan, amid all the wrangling on capitol hill, what is president biden doing tonight? >> reporter: he's been here at the white house, wolf, of course they said he essentially cleared his schedule so he could be in touch with those white house aides that ryan just noted are up in speaker

. >>> we have some breaking news right now from the white house. we have been expecting some kind of update on covid. well, it turns out, it is an update to the international travel policy. kelly o'donnell is at the white house with the details for us. kelly, what can you tell us? >> reporter: good morning, chris. this is a significant development, one that will affect international travelers. the white house is saying that come early november, as they get the systems in place, fully vaccinated individuals, foreign nationals from anywhere in the world will be permitted to visit the united states via air travel if they have full vaccination and do a test for covid. that effectively would end what has been a long ban that has separated families and employees from businesses for many countries that have been prohibited from having travelers come to the u.s. for fear of the spread of the disease. so this is a significant change that will be implemented in early november. the cdc will decide which

. >> and phil mattingly joins us now from the white house.dministration's got to be feeling a lot of pressure ahead of tomorrow's fda meeting given the president very publicly said he hoped booster dose rollout would begin on monday. >> yeah, look, i think there's a recognition inside the administration that the president laid out a timeline and the things they've seen in the weeks since that timeline was laid out has raised questions about whether that timeline would actually stand. they will be intently focused on the fda meeting tomorrow. they will also be focused on the cdc advisory meeting that's scheduled for next week. that will determine more than anything else and in fact instead of anything else whether or not boosters will actually occur. that's been something you've heard a lot from white house officials, that even when a timeline was laid out, even when the president spoke on that timeline, he always caveated with the fact it was up to the fda and the cdc for that timeline to actually come into place. now, it's interesting. you t

he's a former white house official.ather, ig gnomes youly fired by trump early in the administration. how can the former president say this guy is so valuable as an adviser he can't speak after firing him and trashing him on twitter for three years? >> a good question. this is one of the areas that the courts are being called onto deal with, and they're going to have to deal with it, because steve bannon was not an official government adviser in any way during this period of time. and over the communications that former president trump wants to claim executive privilege over. so again, that's going to be one of the key questions that needs to be answered. and it's going to require some litigation. you know, garrett, i think a lot of people don't realize that courts don't want to deal with these issues. they don't want to get involved with making serious decisions about how broad the executive privilege is. they will go so far as to urge the parties and they did this in the hair yet meyers litigation years ago. they said

looks like the white house may say yes to that.ith sean duffy, this story, who is the unnamed mystery silicon valley executive who is so powerful could call multiple companies and their internet data base searches to let hillary clinton against trump with a false russia story that even robert mueller wouldn't touch. jake sullivan was in on that hillary clinton story way back when. we'll dig into it next on "the evening edit." >> it is circular like i said. the clinton campaign it was important to them to be able to say wait a minute, the fbi is looking at this. let's go walter! after you. walter, twelve o' clock. get em boy! [cows mooing] that is incredible. it's the multi-flex tailgate. it can be a step, it can even become a workspace. i meant the cat. what's so great about him? he doesn't have a workspace. the chevy silverado with the available multi-flex tailgate. find new adventures. find new roads. chevrolet. liberty mutual customizes car insurance the so you only pay forh the availabwhat you need.tailgate. how much money can

the white house corrected him and said was 98%. either way those stranded americans face and certain future under the rule of the taliban who scooped up us weapons and aircraft paid for by us taxpayers left behind. >> he called is an extraordinary success but 12 marines and one sailor did the did not need to die is not a success. hundreds of americans left behind, thousands more condemned to death under the taliban is not a success. this is a fiasco and a humiliating failure. >> reporter: a large bipartisan group of lawmakers is attempting to award the congressional gold medal to those 13 us service members were killed and that terror attack. last week. jillian: thank you. todd: as washington wakes up a dark cloud figuratively and literally hangs over the white house after the president double down that no one could have known the afghan army would collapse. jillian: the administration attempts damage control. >> reporter: president biden defendant how the evacuations were handled despite hundreds of americans and thousands of afgh

robert, the mic the white house says it is banning white horses, is that just surface level fix of whats is a mess out there. >> it is a mess, chris, but it's an important component of this policy, those are pictures that are sent around the world and the images were horrific. they don't belong in 2021 and they didn't belong centuries ago when we might have been more used to, unfortunately, seeing them. i think the steps they are taking are important most importantly probably is getting people into shelters, getting them out from underneath the bridge, 15,000 people living in those conditions under a bridge is not what we want to see. and then, quite frankly we have to go through the adjudication process, i would presume, tens of thousands of people are seeking some level of asylum. so, look, there's a whole practical policy that needs to be put back together, the asylum process came to a screeching halt under the trump administration. immigration courts are overloaded, it takes months if not longer to get a case up. there are a lot of practical things that this administration has to ge

gina mccarthy is the white house national climate adviser, and she joins me from the white house.ms. mccarthy, so good to you have back on the newshour, this move is obviously part of this growing recognition that heat waves are becoming more intense, lasting longer and are more freak. you can tell a little bit more about what administration's plans are? >> this extreme heat challenge is the silent killer. it is one of the biggest chal engs that we face in climate, and yet people don't recognize it untilled's too late. so we need to start preparing. and what this plan is is a multiagency effort to make sure that we're preventing impacts from heat stress, we're recognizing that they are happening and it is getting hot are and hotter. so the time is you no for us to invest. first of a you mentioned that the department of labor is going after an ability to actually establish a heat standard. we need our workers to be protected whether they are the ones indoors or the yut door labors-- labourers like our ag comument and construction community and in advance of having that completed, t

the decision comes after the white house said the cartels plan. the increase wasn't enough to keep up with rising gas prices in the united states. but opec delegate have maintained it is too early to release more supply to the market as many nations are still dealing with surges in cases of the delta variant of coven 19 on the news. the price of brent crude oil and west texas intermediate. we're both down slightly regaining losses from earlier in the day. so what does opec's pluses latest policy meeting tell us. c about the state of the commodity. while the discuss, let's bring in the i and david mckelvey, ne theo of macaroni financial group. david, let's start with you here. so what's the take away from wednesdays? meanings? did we really expect anything to change after it took the cartel a considerable amount of time to come to the latest agreement? ignoring us pressure to increase production did not surprise us. the white house's concerns with inflation and increased political costs. sort of accruing from that coming into the 2022 election whil

this story clearly got away from the white house, first of all. they thought they had really pulled off a big coup here in working this deal with australia in concert with the british and i'll get to that in a second. and they either didn't foresee the degree to which france would be angry or they figured they could just manage that later. and it's really blown up in their face. now, what happened is that to date the u.s. has only shared this highly sensitive nuclear propulsion technology for submarines with its closest naval ally britain. and that was largely aimed at the soviet union. and that's a decade old's agreement. this agreement with the same kind of technology in the pacific in the hands of australia in a direct challenge to china. so that's the main reason that china is upset about this. they see it for what it is, which is a complete and challenge to chinese naval power in the pacific by somebody other than the united states. right now there is a daily cat and mouse between u.s. and chinese ships across the south china sea and else whe

remarks from speaker pelosi just a short time ago, you heard her refer to cedric richmond, a senior white house adviser, also a former member of the house democratic caucus who was in the meeting today trying to help corral democrats, using some baseball metaphors to encourage team unity. richmond should be mentioned. it was the star starting pitcher for the house democratic baseball team. tonight is the congressional baseball game between democrats and republicans at national park. what i think pelosi was signaling, they don't need a starter. they need president biden to be the closer at this point. she mentioned she would likely be in touch with the president herself. part of why the president cancelled the event in chicago today to focus on vaccination efforts was because progress was being made. multiple meetings between the president, senator cinema, senator manchin as well as white house officials in different combinations over the course of the day yesterday. and they wanted to keep that momentum going with some additional meetings today. the white house officials are also telling me the

"the evening edit" starts right now. elizabeth: welcome to the show. you're watching the fox business network. we begin tonight with breaking news. special council john durham announced that grand jury indicted a prominent lawyer for the clinton campaign. perkins lawyer. he is expected to make his first court appearance tomorrow. this is about the debunked claim that trump computers were talking regularly with russia's bank. the oligarchs. msnbc, nbc, cnn home. s ran with it as if it was fact. the fbi found out early on in 2017 that the trump computer was pushing trump hotel marketing information, hotel marketing information. joining us now, congressman ken buck of house judiciary, former u.s. attorney guy lewis. first to you, congressman. great to have you both on.

when you talk to the white house now, this is more about, look, right now you have the progressives puttingchin. they're trusting that house speaker nancy pelosi can get everyone in line. of course, you'll see them deploy white house officials to the hill and continue to talk to these folks, see if you can try and get to the price tag close to 3.5 that you want. we know senator manchin has said something much lower at this point. around 1.5. i want to say also some questions here because when you talk about price tag slimming that down could cut down also, obviously, these sweeping policies that they're going to tout before the mid terms. also a question of which of those policies would actually qualify under the budgetary rules for reconcilizaation? we saw when minimum wage was dropped off months ago, the white house got a lot of criticism. so interesting to see whether or not something like the immigration measures and reconciliation will actually qualify for the rule? >> i would imagine senator manchin will get a lot of phone calls in the coming days fraumthe white house. >>> cnn polling
