alice got married at the white house.t was really two kids living in the white house and that was ethel and quinton. and they were there all the time. the rest of them were in and out. but it was a zoo of animals and kids. and t.r. loved having them come into office meetings, meetings in the office. they would run in and interrupt secretaries of state to try and tell their dad about some bug they found. >> humanizing, isn't it? and alice roosevelt married the man who became speaker of the house and so many of us women have used her line, if you can't say something nice about somebody, come sit right here next to me. this is jeffrey from florida. roosevelt was the most prolific of presidents who were authors. which of his books is the most significant? >> that's a good question and there's no easy answer because he wrote probably 50 books. compilations and things like that. one book stands out and that's "the winning of the west." which is a three-part series of books. what's interesting about it is roosevelt laze out what

she was married in the white house. the beautiful gown, susan, was founded by george cleveland who is actually at this event. he's the grandson of grover. his sister anne and also marian cleveland cohen, they found the actual dress that actually exist, the wedding dress that actually exist in the white house collection at the first ladies smithsonian. a powerful display and how elegant she was and people certainly, you know, learned from history from that. >> but there was an enormous age difference between the two. >> absolutely. >> how does the family process that piece of information. >> you know, i think it was a love story that was kindled by francis' father, he was a dear friend of grover and i think upon his death, i think grover felt the need make sure that frances was taken care of and he was a lot older by stretch of 25 to 30 years but i think, you know, at that time she trusted him. i think he was the guardian for many, many years. even prior to mr. fulsome's death and i think she had complete trust and they

know secretaries of state in order to try and tell their dad about some bug that they found on the white house lawn. humanizing, isn't it and alison alice roosevelt longworth married the man who became speaker of the house and so many of us women in this town have used her line if you can't say someone nice about somebody come sit right here next to me. here is another question. okay, this is jeffrey margolis from naples florida. roosevelt was the most prolific of presidents who were authors which of his books is the most significant of his writings. well, that's a good question. and there's there's no easy answer because he wrote probably 50 books not all original monographs, but compilations and things like that one book stands out to me and that's called the winning of the west which in fact is a three-part four-part series of books, but what's interesting about it is that roosevelt lays out what's known as the frontier thesis that america was built by the frontier and he lays that thesis out before the most famous ad here into that thesis frederick jackson turner, he writes that book two y

the fact joe biden campaigned and said he would have the most ethical white house and be transparent on any type of outside dealings with his office is a complete lie. when asked by republicans on the house oversight committee what measures the white house is taking to ensure no conflicts of interest, jen psaki said white house council would work on guidelines with the art gallery owner and they would be very specific guidelines, but guidelines said they could reject offers out of the ordinary. these are very vague guidelines, the gallery said we've had no communication with the white house. hunter biden is a national security threat and will be pressing until we find out who is buying that overpriced art. >> harris: get into how hunter biden is a national security threat. we don't say the quiet part out loud and that has to do with leveraging, vulnerability and access to the sitting president. >> that's right. look at what he did in ukraine. he's done the same thing in china. this art gallery owner has publicly said he wants to be the main united states art dealer with china. there

this is obviously a former white house chief of staff. what do you make of the legal advice he apparently is getting? >> i'm sure his legal advice is very sound, but it's also the legal advice that he's asking for. it's clear that meadows does not want to testify, he wants to find a way to avoid testifying, and perhaps john's book provides the key to. that it may well be that mark meadows has testimony he would have to give if you are truthful, that he simply cannot afford to, give because it portrays him and just to negative. lay in a central figure in putting forward the insurrection. if not the insurrection, but the plot to try to avoid certifying the biden election. look, meadows has a choice to make here. he might decide that he's so well protected, by executive privilege, that he was inside of the white house, that he's willing to run the risk of noncompliance with the congressional subpoena. the problem that he has, is the executive privilege, even if it covers, him even if the conduct he's engaged in is viewed as being on the whit

bolten: you call the white house operator. tara: and then they walk over to the room and knock on his door? mr. lew: all the time. mr. bolten: i also had to wake up the president a few times. he is a heavy sleeper. [laughter] he is really focused and intentional about his sleeping. he still goes to bed at 9:30 and is up at 5:15 without an alarm clock. so you did not do that lightly, but i did a few times. sometimes involving a disaster or national security situation. more times than any of us would like to admit it would have involved one of his daughters, or at the time, in college -- who were at the time in college. i didn't get grief from the president about that kind of stuff. if a member of the congressional leadership or a cabinet officer said that they wanted to see the president and i didn't think that it was a good idea i would not debate it with the president . i would tell them. i don't think this is worthy of the president's time. i will put the request through if you insist, but i'm telling you now that i will tel

meanwhile, the white house, the current white house, president biden's white house said today that mark claim to privilege and he should go ahead. so look, i think if you see bannon charged i think you will probably see meadows charged. i wouldn't assume that silence from the doj means nothing is happening. but i think again, until that happens you're going to see people doing things like this. >> jeff, what do you make of the silence from the department of justice on bannon? >> i find it baffling and it looks like dithering to me, frankly. this is a reasonable legally complicated question about whether this should be a criminal contempt case. but it's been almost a month now. it's been more than a month that it's been clear that this issue was coming down the line. they have a lot of smart lawyers at the justice department. the idea that it takes them this long is really pretty shocking to me and it is having a real material impact, as maggie points out. all of these witnesses are yanking the chain of the judiciary -- of the january 6th committee because they know there are no conseque

people we're talking about today, many actively working at the white house employed in the trump white house. does that give in your view any support or does that boost the idea they could say? donald trump says we claim executive privilege, we have to defer to him. does it bolster their case at all? >> they might say the former president asserted executive privilege and we'll defer to the courts before they sort it out. a former president doesn't really have much if any of an executive privilege. that thing belongs to current presidents. joe biden has executive privilege and donald trump doesn't. there mite be a case the supreme court said in 1977 where a former president might have some claim of executive privilege and one way of testing it, one way of determining if that former president's claim is valid is see how the current president feels about it. joe biden indicated he's not inclined to a certain privilege of any sort on behalf of donald trump. i don't see how this claim wins but that's not their strategy, hallie. their strategy is to assert a claim and try and run out the clo

what is the mood inside the white house? >> they're happy but obviously aware of the house ahead. particularly in the senate. those challenges are significant. we talked about senator joe manchin and the obstacle that he poses to getting this across the finish line. he has expressed a number of concerns about the legislation the house passed. he also has complained about the tax credits for electric vehicles that are in that legislation. there are procedural issues as well. immigration can be topped out. there are concerns about the state and local tax deduction, giving a tax break to the wealthy. so you have a very difficult balancing act by the white house that they have to do over the next couple of weeks. get manchin in line, accommodate his needs. senator kyrsten cinsinema is no yet on board. she's making it clear she's going to have her own demands? >> i mean, look. when it comes to those two, you've seen even in recent weeks the president get more involved in some of the negotiations, not just sending some of his closest advisers to congress but bringing them to the white h

tr is the first american president to break bread with an african american in the white house. booker t. washington is an important figure in american history at that time. interesting to note, tr got an awful lot of backlash from basically white supremacists that were in the south at that time and he never invited booker t. back for such a public meeting again. but booker t. washington became one of his four most correspondents and roosevelt listened to washington over a number of his own advisers. he became an important part of that group of people who wrote to roosevelt. >> mike asks, is it true roosevelt was chosen for vice president because his detrackers felt it was a place that would shut him down? >> that is certainly one interception. the big boss of republican politics in new york really wanted to get roosevelt -- get him out of new york. he was governor of new york for a short while before he got nominated to be vice president. and the speculation is that platt wanted to get rid of him. tr became one of the most important presidential figures in american history. >> a

is this a messaging problem for the white house? >> yes, it is. worrisome, 70% of ind pen kedents, 70% of independent say he's done little or nothing. it goes to this issue set where they're trying to work on build back better, this massive reconciliation bill and the public generally sort of approves of a lot of the different proposals individually but in terms of the entire massive package, $2 trillion or so, the public isn't really paying attention to that because they're worried about inflation. they see it. a few months ago it was inflation stories about rental cars. now it is transitory. it has transitioned inflation into baking, a loaf of bread, milk, real life -- and gas prices pushing up near $4. so that's where the public is and so the public isn't really focused on their agenda right now, and that's where you see the poll results suggesting he's done little or nothing. >> and it's having a horrible effect on his approval rating. this new poll that says approval rating is 41%. his approval's 53%. this is the strong point coming into offi

at the white house, at a pretty significant and monumental moment for this white house. president's infrastructure proposal, one part of his two-part, $3 trillion domestic agenda, is now headed to his desk. 228-206 was the house vote. nearly all democrats, a few progressives voted against, joined with a handful of republicans to help get it over the finish line. and give the president a significant legislative victory. one that has been out of his grasp for several months, as democrats have waged war against one another. and the other package still being worked through. we're still waiting for official white house reaction. we have a tweet from jen psaki, saying proof that delivering for the american people is worth all the sausage making. it's happening, and more to come. a couple of the key components, she was making a little joke, given the fact that roughly 95% of the last six months of white house briefings, she's made some type of reference to sausage making. it's tried and true, we've all used that description at one point or another. that was jen psaki. i want to

talk about what you're hearing from folks at the white house now? victory the white house had hoped to get last night. they kept reporters here late in anticipation the president might make some remarks but of course finally getting that victory, as you alluded to, a long road still ahead, this has to get through the senate where senate joe manchin has raised a lot of concerns with elements of this bill, so you know, when the battle, the war continues, though, i will say one important note, chris, while all of this is happening, the president is undergoing his routine physical at walter reid and as part of that, he is going to have to go under anesthesia for a routine colonoscopy, and as the constitution lays out, that means that temporarily he's going to be transferring power to the vice president who is working from the west wing while the president undergoes that procedure. so a big moment for the president. he at walter reid undergoing this physical. certainly we anticipate the president could make some remarks today and a very significant momen

progressives were saying, we're not for infrastructure at this point despite being pressured by the white house. but the only thing that seems to have changed is they feel as long as they're happening simultaneously, back-to-back in the house, that they're ready to move forward on infrastructure. >> this is interesting because one of the things you hear from progressive leaders like congresswoman jayapal is, we're not worried. joe biden, president biden has assured us the 50 votes will be there. 50 plus one, kamala harris, the vice president, and that's all. in other words, they are not expressing anger with manchin and sinema and basically saying, biden, you promised us this and we expect you to deliver. which is i guess why. >> i can tell you the white house today is not worried about what joe manchin said. they don't think that he said anything different than he's been saying all along. and, look, the good thing for reporters is that joe manchin when he hasn't been in front of the camera for a couple of days, he's willing to go back out there. but let's not pretend he's saying anything new.

i was talking to a white house official last night. the phrase they kept using is we're not going to get caught flat footed. that's why you see fauci to say, this is probably going to get here. what's left unsaid is what some white house officials will privately concede and what democrats around the country will tell you was they did get caught flat footed in july by delta. they had an independence party on the lawn of the white house. what you are seeing now is you have to apply that lens to everything they're doing now. >> that 4th of july speech was seen as this success speech where we were. the other day for the macy's day parade, the president called in talking about how there's nothing the united states can't overcome. obviously, this is something that looms over that. how does he square the messaging with waiting to find out details but trying to prepare people for this? >> this is an area where the administration always projects a lot of confidence. many americans voted for president biden because they liked how seriously he ha

the white house has approached the economy. >> what do you say to some critics who say the white house is too focused on long-term investments and not enough on short-term, right now relief for americans? >> he's focused like a laser o those issues. part of the problem is we have not invested in building our infrastructure so we have more resilient ports, roads, and bridges around america. >> what could be the impact of passing the build back better act? with the white house, and only brain these, but with the president says needs to happen. >> i spoke to white house officials about this today and what their concerns are alike. they bieve based on their economic analysis that the inflationary concerns are temporary, a temporary result of the pandemic and supply chain issues, and they will be resolved in a few months. they want to build back better act to get past so a long-term investment can lower the cost of things like childcare and health care, and other things to offset any continued inflation or any continued expenses americans are still having to pay because of that. they are ho

granted former president trump's request to delay the hand-off of some records from his time in the white houseto the house select committee investigating the insurrection. the national archives inherited trump's records once he left office and they were scheduled to hand off some of the documents to the house select committee by tomorrow at 6:00 p.m. former president trump and his lawyers asked the court of appeals to delay that hand-off while they appeal a lower court decision that ordered as a former president he does not have the power to keep secret records that the current president wants released. this is a really interesting case and raises novel questions about presidential privilege. oral arguments are scheduled for november 30th. >> thank you so much. >>> turning to the national lead one day after tearful testimony in the kyle rittenhouse trial and the judge scolding the prosecution, the defense followed up with a use of force expert who analyzed video of shootings in august, 2020. a police officer who collected evidence the next day also testified along with a freelance commentator

looking forward the white house said that its focus is passing the legislation. what are other strategic steps or new steps the white house is going to take to try to address some of the concerns that were clearly raised by vote efers in virginia and new jersey and other states around the country or does it feel that passing those two are sufficient to make up some of it? karine: i think what the president was trying to say is voters were tired of the inaction they were seeing and want us to get things done. i think that's what he's trying to say. the president agrees which is why he has been calling for congress to vote on these pieces of his economic policy. but i do want to say one more thing is that, you know, we all know that no election determines the outcome of future elections. that the mid-terms will be determined by voters in 2020, in 2022 and this one election is determined by votes for the 2021. and the mid terms are still a year away. and a lot could happen over the next weeks and months which is what we're focused on. this is why we're trying to get

no negotiated agreement between the two senators that you mentioned, manchin and sinema, and the white housed the house there was no text, there was no vote to move the bill forward before the final bill at the end. as you know the progressive caucus stood up strong, not just once, but twice, to make sure that that -- that we didn't pass the infrastructure bill without the build back better bill. and we made a tremendous amount of progress. now, what happened on friday is that we were all set to pass both bills. and at the last minute, there were six democrats who said that they needed more fiscal information from the congressional budget office. and that they needed a little bit more time. and i'll tell you, rachel, our members of the progressive caucus were so strong, they were willing to continue to hold it up, but we had a caucus-wide discussion. and we decided that what we needed to do is show momentum by passing the infrastructure bill but if and only if, we got an absolute rock solid agreement from the six, that they would vote for this bill, as soon as the congressional budget office

we're following that breaking news from the white house. president biden addressing the nation this hour after a second meeting with his covid response team in just two days. highlighting the urgency the administration is feeling to learn everything they can about the concerning new coronavirus variant omicron with confirmed cases already at our northern aborter in ontario, canada. there are still a number of things we don't know about this variant with the white house releasing a statement sunday saying dr. fauci believes it will take up to two weeks to get answers on omicron's transmissibility, severity and other characteristics. the big question for nearly 200 million fully vaccinated americans, will their vaccine hold up against this new strain. fauci this morning urging eligible americans to not let fears over omicron's impact stop them from getting their booster shots. >> i would strongly suggest you get boosted now and not wait for the next iteration of it, which we might not even need, we're preparing -- the pharmaceutical companies

nobody in that white house does.hese issues are going to last with the american people well into next year, even further than they are estimating now and it didn't have to be this way. we could have had our v-shaped recovery, if he stepped out of the way, simply the way he ran during the campaign, step out of the way and do no harm. that is all he needed to do. but he tried to create a legacy. what he created is a disaster for the american people. elizabeth: we've got, let's show the washington poll abc results again. gop hold largest lead in midterm election voting in 40 years. that is a prediction. we have that. we have biden's comptroller nominee, saule omarova a tweet resurfacing the u.s. should be more like china. she wants more federal reserve money printing. she talked about you who the fed could take back money from people and americans during hyperinflation. i mean then she she wants to wipe out oil and gas and all our bank accounts should be at the federal reserve. that from saule omarova. a big push to sto

sam stein, white house editor for politico.berly atkins store of wur and the boston herald a member of the editorial board of "the boston globe." on this veterans day barry mccaffrey, veteran of vietnam and of the persian gulf. good evening and welcome to you all. kimberly, i would like to begin with you. the documents have been slowed down to a crawl. perhaps mark meadows' cooperation is slowing down to a crawl. where does this leave democrats who want to see consequences? >> yeah. it leaves the democrats as well as the committee which does include two republicans in a waiting game and i think it's something that was expected. yes. this means that these documents that were required to be produced by tomorrow will take a couple weeks before they see the light of day. it actually in the legal world is a pretty quick schedule to schedule arguments and briefings within a number of weeks, particularly if there's a holiday in the middle so this is fast tracked but this is a stalling mechanism by trump world and expected. they use ev

yet the white house, they'll still have theirs. and more. >> it is the white house. i mean, you do want them to have it. is this out of the ordinary? >> no, it's not. they spent $160,000 before. so we're trying to create something out of nothing? never happens on tv. >> we don't do that. >> jimmy: wow. a moment of clarity. that was like watching a dog walk into a mirror. christmas is now less than a month away. thanksgiving is behind us, and now every company is rolling out their holiday-themed products. and none more so than starbucks who are adding a new flavored coffee to their seasonal collection. >> the holidays are here. and there's no better tradition than starbucks seasonal beverages. we've got all your favorites. caramel apple, pumpkin spice lat latte, and introducing the all-new deviled egg nogguccino. we start with our blend of the finest gas station deviled egg, throw in two shots of espresso. a generous helping of nutmeg and heavy cream. blend it together and top it off with a drizzle of mustard and a dusting of smoked hungarian paprika. you've got a hol

nancy pelosi speaking right now before the white house.ing that larger bill to the floor this week assuming the congressional budget office comes back with an estimate that shows this bill is essentially fully paid for, which is what the moderates like sinema and manchin have called for and the house moderates have called for. expect that bill if it comes this week to pass narrowly, if the numbers come back, and then the focus will be on those moderates like sinema and manchin. sinema is expected according to her democratic colleagues to vote for the package. where will someone like joe manchin come down. he did not answer when i asked if this should be delayed until next year, only saying they should continue to discuss this amid his concerns about inflation, so while they're getting this big victory here, still big questions about the timing, the substance, and ultimately how that larger bill will come out. more negotiations to come, and joe biden's party fall in line, that's the big question going forward. >> we heard from senator sinem

the city the white house is in over mask mandates. washington, d.c., the district, the mayor mural bowser has lifted her indoor mask mandate with a few exceptions. but the white house says it follows the cdc's guidance which still recommends masking in areas of high transmission. meanwhile, voters -- a recent poll found just 47% approve of the job he is doing on that. 49% say they disapprove. that's a massive change from 63% who approved back in june. the virus had been one of the only bright spots in the polls for the president. and i used the wrong word. it is not soaring, it's souring. >> you pointed out the correct part of it. that's what they saw as their best political asset was the handling of covi they were anti-vaccine when it was a vaccine that came from the previous administration and never knowledge that portion of it. they thought their strength was in the control and the crackdown. what they didn't count on was the common sense of american people who are able to look at the science, make their own decisions based on thei
