this is not the first white house school, but it likely was the last time the white house had a school inside. jacqueline kennedy had an experience where caroline had ballet classes outside of the white house, which was no issue until they became until her husband became president and then they were caroline was being followed by reporters. so she decided this is kennedy decided to create what was initially called a playgroup we're kind of evolved into a nursery and then by the time carolyn what caroline was school age became a first grade classroom and john jr. was part of the playgroup ultimately, but it was comprised of children. who were the kids of their close friends and the parents all pulled their resources and funded? the salary of the teachers the parents pooled resources for the supplies books. there was a trampoline that was purchased for the the school kids. it was her way of providing her kids with an environment where they were learning in something like a classroom setting with other children, but again, it was controlled they were. in you know behind these four private

it is hard in any white house. the next panel can speak to this too, to get outside perspective because it is the difficulty of surviving the day sometimes. >> i want to peel back the layers of what it is like to be in those meetings. it brings to mind the fact that the president is sort of emotional, he is colorful, faulty in his language sometimes. does that exist in meetings? is there space for people to be emotional, colorful when you are debating ideas or is it always more formal? is it on the topic only or does it have a more free-form? jen psaki: it is definitely free-form. >> i ask because the creative prices in the decision-making process has a connection to how people feel when they are making decisions and when they are offering ideas. is it constrained or a free-flowing environment? how would you describe how that goes? cedric richmond: it is free-flowing and when you have people like ron klain who have been around him a long time. even when it is not senior staff that want to deliver something. they wi

so really as the white house the white house is the people's house. and i think it's really important to see that every american sees their stories reflected in the white house their stories their ancestors stories. they should be able to see themselves in the building that that speech by michelle obama caused a lot of people to come head our way to look for more information about slavery in the white house, and we really didn't have a lot of that information available at the time and so us launching our slavery in the president's neighborhood initiative is an effort to correct that and to add those voices into the narrative and put them into conversation with first ladies first families and presidents themselves. they are essential to white house history and american history, and they're not just witnesses to white house history. they are deeply involved one of my favorite stories and things that sort of a correction is an enslave man for a president james madison paul. he wrote the first white house memoir. it's a pretty remarkable read and in it. h

maybe not in the trump white house. [laughter] but they get in there and they shave the edge off of their advice. they shave the edge off of their disagreements because they don't what the president to have to referee amongst people who have some bitter disagreement and make his life harder. that is a huge mistake that i think when we made mistakes any the bush administration, it was when we did not reflect the full depth of this agreement to the president -- depth of disagreement to the president . make it your job when you are in the oval office to sharpen the disagreement. provoke people to say what they said outside of the oval office to the president and make his job dam hard because that is the president's job, is to make the hard decisions and he should make them knowing what everyone thinks. >> unvarnished. kellyanne conway, we will give you the final word. >> don't overestimate how much

elizabeth: big white house diversifying says yes to drilling for oil on federal land.fter setting that down for months. destroying families, destroying jobs but why the sudden 180 after the white house attack on u.s. energy threatened to sick the scc on u.s. oil blaming u.s. oil for not drilling enough the white house credibility crisis just got way worse. with us and that congressman james comber, rick cropper, fox news contributor doctor marc siegel. also at the federal senior legal correspondent margo cleveland, fox news contributor joe koch up vice president of the natural border patrol council he is. the far left, the media and the meltdown mode as moves to block the line must take over of twitter. this is about the left bullying censorship. twitter boots off gop lawmakers at the far left media is okay at letting al qaeda, isis and ironic dictator still tweet? and why is dr. fauci silent on this? shocking video out of china. covid police caught on camera in china assaulting arresting anyone who breaks china's severe total lockdown that doctor fauci praised for it

that is one of those things that for a white house, any white house it is very hard to overcome thatn with strong messaging. how people feel in the gulf and filled the car with gas to have the for the growth grocery store. it's really hard to put some messaging that can change that reality. think democrats face a significant challenge. biden facing a significant challenge when it comes to trying to show other points for what his and restoration is done. how do you say look over here would people say i feel this way every time i go to pull out my credit card. again i think democrats are looking to try to change some of their messaging present the reality of that is going to be quite difficult the next few months. spent harold ford junior to think the is anything they can practically do to change the trajectory of their midterms? >> i think probably one or two things. i greet largely with what is already been said. the kind of people does have an answer how to retain control but he has a right the for democrats is not strong. that got a story to tell the should tell every of what brit

by getting rid of the disposal authority in the white house i don't really think the white house loses much. i have never understood why it was so necessary to have that just preserving it, leaving it for the archives. and then banning ephemeral systems once again creates a bright line rule. as do these regular issues. those of terms it does create bright lines and simplifies things. because i readily agree with you that the only way we will be able to successfully accomplish this mission is for people to understand where those lines are. >> the other part of this i understand were working on some legislation here to create lines they don't make sense to people there it seems counterintuitive, that is an issue as well. so personal communication as an example how do you delineate that and then the broader issue may be all the panel can talk about balance of preserving the records in the value of public disclosure that we talked about and the importance of confidentiality. where is that line? maybe you can talk about that? >> thank you, senator. i do want to say your point about confusio

okay, and we want you to feel welcome here at the white house. which really is as the admiral said it's the people's house. it belongs to all of us. so just remember that okay. and as the people's house, we believe the white house should be a place for learning and for sharing new and different ideas. sharing new forms of art and culture and history and different perspectives. we want you to visit and we want you to take advantage of these opportunities and maybe see something for yourselves that maybe you never thought you could do or be so i'm happy to welcome you here for our little black history month celebration. i'm glad you guys are here. so many milestones in black history have touched this very house. just to name a few. did you know that african-american slaves helped to build this house? you knew that? did you know that write upstairs in a bedroom called the lincoln bedroom president lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation that marked an important step forward and ending slavery. did you know that happened right here? you knew that

she didn't like the idea of redecorating the white house a lot of people say dolly redecorated the white house, but what she did was restructure it in a way that mrs. kennedy would have proved by this is amazing that before dolly's white house, which is called the executive mansion and it would only be during her tenure where it would get that familiar loving nickname the white house there was no place in the in the capital city where all the men of government could get together. let alone their families let alone visiting diplomats. let alone visiting americans let alone anybody it was so what dolly did was she took that executive mansion and she turned it in to a center for entertaining where everybody in town would show up and they did and she threw weekly parties and they were as regular and as grueling as they sound but they became an independent and indispensable part of the washington political machine. and it's in those parties. i can tend that these people learn to work together in a bipartisan ways going towards something they didn't even know is going to happen, which is that

a big win for the white house and for democrats.lso following what's happening on the hill as it relates to ukraine. with multiple bills passed in the senate unanimously today aimed at punishing russia even harder. we're talking about that and

former bush white house advisor karl rove. white house correspondent for reuters.e. first up to you, karl, these clips are huge of course on twitter as we have all seen and in washington, d.c., but give us a long view on the impact of this leak, both for mccarthy and for house republicans. >> well, i think it's a blip. i don't think it's going to be consequential in the long-term. mccarthy has very strong ties on most of the elements of the republican conference. there may be a few dissidents to sort of marjory taylor green wing of the party which seems to consist of basically two people, but i don't think this is going to be a significant blip. and it's interesting to me that the president jumped on this big-time, but i mean the president of the united states has made some recent statements. this week i think it was he repeated for the fourth time the story about the conductor who told him on amtrak that he had gone more on amtrak than on air force one who died a year before it was supposedly, arrested in civil rights protest, said he was against afghan war before

she lived in the white house. the concession statement she delivered on behalf of a horse president gerald ford ending. the 1976 campaign was not the end of her own political life. she continued to her work to improve the lives of those facing breast cancer and substance abuse focusing a spotlight once taboo topics. she built a friendship and policy partnership with the woman who followed her into the white house rosalyn carter an advocate for the mentally ill. and she revealed that she'd lobbied her husband to name a woman to the supreme court and to his 1976 re-election ticket. betty ford was fond of saying she was known to have an opinion or two you'll hear directly from her featuring footage from c-span's video library. let's listen to her now in her own words. the equal rights amendment when ratified will not be an instance solution to women's problems. it will not alter the fabric of the constitution. are forced women away from their families? it will help knock down those restrictions that have locked women

this is from january 1997 in the white house roosevelt room. thank you, and please be seated and welcome to the white house. i am pleased to see all of you here today for the presentation of this report of the presidential advisory committee on gulf war veterans illnesses. the work of this committee reflects the administration's commitment to finding answers for the thousands of brave men and women suffering from undiagnosed illnesses after serving in the persian gulf war. and it reflects the president's abiding commitment to being responsive to and responsible for our veterans and their families. i know that there are members who are here of the commission and i'd like them if they would just to stand so that we could see all they're all standing good. we appreciate very much the time and effort that went into this service, and i know firsthand how important and difficult your task has been over the last four years the president and i have received many heart-wrenching letters from gulf war veterans and family members. many veterans and their

she used the white house as a platform to advance the issue. you'll hear from her next at the 2010 white house easter egg roll where the south lawn was convert into a sprawling playground. >> hey, everybody. is this not the perfect day for the easter egg roll. let's say thank you to mother nature. we're so excited to have you. welcome to the 2010 easter egg roll. the theme for this year's event is ready, set, go. as you guys know, this year i launched a nationwide initiative to try to end the epidemic of childhood obesity. it's called let's move. today we have transformed the south lawn into a playground. we have wonderful food stands in back. with have some of the best chefs. you can learn to cook. there's farmers market. you can see the garden. we also have some great activities. we have several athletic centers. we have football, basketball. we have our washington redskins here. we have olympians. we have billie jean king. in the center we'll have some dancing opinion we have dj tony from the ellen show who will do some stuff. if that's not

it was the last residence of president wilson immediately after leaving the white house in 1921. he lived there until 1924, until his death. his wife, first lady edith, lived until 1961, and bequeathed the house to the trust. the national trust opened the doors to the public in 1963. first lady edith wilson's vision of that house was to be a standing legacy of woodrow wilson. the interpretation was very much, of course, centered, as you would imagine, on world war i, wilson's role as an international statesman, the first in the period to hold that distinction on the world stage, and wilson, the man. those were the sort of two pillars of interpretation there, and when you came to the house those were the stories that were centered, right? >> uh-huh. >> through the african american national cultural heritage fund, through the trust, the focus was to tell the fuller history. when i joined, i looked at the interpretation and i looked at what was on display that had, for the most part, been unchanged since 1961, and there have been shifts of small objects here and there, but as far as

so you might remember at the white house correspondence center, she dressed up and came out into the tune of second hand rose and said i'm wearing second hand clothes. and she brought the house down. and if -- if you are being attacked and you can make fun of yourself or poke fun at yourself, that's a lesson, of course, to be learned. let's talk about some other tech any logical changes that would have changed the role of first lady and that is as travel became more of an opportunity or ease of travel. so the railroads come into being and also planes. talk about all of the first ladies that you know or have studied and what travel then actually contributed to their own work and to the work of their husbands. >> well, the pokes did a trip down to the south, and sara poke went with him, and this was one of the early opportunities for a woman to be beside her husband someplace outside of washington. this was the thing, if anyone knew about the first lay days outside of the washington area, it was either in their home state or what they were reading in the press. so with train travel then

and moving into the white house? >> they are the first cup toll move into the white house. nobody stayed terribly long. they weren't impressed. i think abigail embodies another part of the partnership. she wasn't interested in what they would call presiding. she adopted martha's ceremonies dutifully, but the role she played was as an adviser. she was really was hr husband's closest adviser. and in the spirit of republican virtue, john adams made the terrible discussion not to change his cabinet. so he ended up with a cabinet full of traitors. so he would have always relied on abigail, but in that particular circumstance, she was his closest adviser. >> and that's fascinating you're mentioning that because really coming up to modern first ladies and contemporary first ladies in terms of personnel issues. we know that nancy reagan so important on issues of personnel. never afraid to tell her husband. that person should go or that person is not good for you. so it clearly starts at the very beginning in that kind of advisory capacity. so before we come back to dolly, let me tu

>> and moving into the white house. well, yes. and they were the first couple to move into the white house. but nobody state terribly long. it went impressed. i think abigail, in some ways, embodies another part of partnership that diana is talking about. she really wasn't interested in what they would call presiding. so, she adopted mergers innovations and ceremonies rather dutifully, but the role that abigail played was really that of advisor. she really was her husband's closest adviser. and in the spirit of republican virtue, that's well republican virtue, john adams made a terrible decision not to change his cabinet, so he ended up with a cabinet full of [inaudible] coal traders all working behind his back, that he was always relying on abigail, but in that particular circumstance, she really was his very closest adviser. >> and that's fascinating that you mentioned that, catherine. because really, coming up to muttered first ladies and contemporary first ladies in terms of personnel issues, we know for example that nancy rea

and the obama white house held back more than 48,000 pages. judge jackson also gave the white house confidential, nonpublic probation recommendations for some of her cases. but, when we asked about a probation document filed on the hocking case, judge jackson claimed she was not able to assess records for her old cases . that was allegedly because she was no longer on the district court. we now know that she sits on the d.c. circuit court of appeals. now, if that is true, there are many unanswered questions about how information the white house got was helpful in so easily obtained. so, we should take into account the all the helpful and -- information has already been leaked. that brings me to the merits of just jackson's nomination. for judicial nominees, their philosophy ought to decide how they decide cases ought to be a primary consideration. part of having a judicial philosophy is having an understanding of the fundamental principles of her constitution. natural rights are a part of that system. judge jackson explained to us that she doe

none of the previous white house occupants lost popularity so quickly among beidekle voters, a very veryecline in president biden's approval rating of only 38% of americans under 29 and 67% of blacks approve of his biden work with him and the democrats are losing the electorate before the midterm elections in congress, the voter turns away due to high inflation and prices, which are accelerating, how they will deal with the crisis in the white house clearly they do not explain, while on a daily basis they are convinced of domestic who is to blame for the rise in prices, the pain americans feel at gas stations. this is the result of putin's rise, prices and the impact of his war on fuel supplies to energy carriers account for 61% of the factors, the surge in inflation putin's invasion of ukraine led to an increase in energy food prices the name of vladimir putin every day sounds at the white house pentagon state department briefings apparently to sound more persuasively, us department of defense spokesman john kirby decided to pause meaningfully. rear admiral before squeezed out a tear wi

do think that there are people inside of this biden white house may be hoping the white house loses ons issue to provide some cover for them to say that a federal judge is forcing them to keep 42 in place? >> congressman cuellar: absolutely. absolutely. there is a debate. if you talk to more of the career folks, they would tell you that they want to keep title 42, but you've got some folks with a lot of immigration activists experience that feel the other way, so i think that will give him a cover without a doubt and maybe even congress if we can add that amendment to the covid relief bill to provide that cover. >> sandra: all right, meanwhile, while american families still deal with spiking inflation, particularly high gas prices, the biden administration says it will resume selling new drilling leases on public lands this week. all this after a court overturned the biden executive action from last year that you, sir, criticize, banning responsive leasing what caused job and gdp growth but the president's envoy john kerry says he hopes this move is temporary and that companies are sit

why did the white house launch this new ministry of misinformation is homeland security?ment agency does designed to police the u.s. here is the thank this feels like a colossal waste of times the courts decide to free speech not democrat bureaucrats. >> oh well, it is a colossal waste of time. but what really concerns me is worse than that it almost reminds me of a russian disinformation center. what is ironic about this is the real purveyors of misinformation have been nancy pelosi and president biden and mae orchestra. he was before our committee this week as he was before two committees claiming there was nothing wrong that was occurring at the border. did not tell the truth about so many of the issues that deal with the border and the problems they're having there. the president himself continually gives out misinformation continually lies to be honest with you. where the same thing with nancy pelosi. we are the purveyors of misinformation this is deeper than that this is something of concern this reminds me of other countries that do not want to allow freedom. and s
