at the white house. these enslaved workers performed a variety of jobs. they were chefs, gardeners, stable hands, maids, butlers, valets, ladies, ladies and. and did all sorts of other cleaning and other work around the white house. so we had this long history up until the lincolns of having a lot of enslaved workers in the white house itself. but things changed with first ladies, beginning with this with abigail adams, who had a very, very different opinion of slavery from her predecessor, martha washington. abigail was an abolitionist and shortly after john adams was inaugurated, and abigail wasn't there at the time. that was not a typical first lady. martha was not there for george's inauguration either. but martha had written a letter at one point in her life to john which said that and fortunately how could they, the southerners, reconcile human bondage with the ideology of freedoms that america had fought for. and abigail hired a free african-american named james, who worked at their farm. and duri

signal switchboard in the basement of the white house or the white house admin board, which was next door and the eob building. so that just amazed me that that kind of technology which now i call prehistoric but i would argue that we were the united states was among the worldwide leaders as far as provide in presidential support so it's fascinating me that at the same time i was in the white house that this brain power was going on right with the tom white heads and all of this was evolving. so i just that as an observation and and i agree with jeff an enlightening viewpoint this was to learn about all of this that had taken place while i was actually also working in the white house. wonderful wonderful. thank you very much. if i could. there was something the london switch, which i think was a dedicated cable under the and and you remember you used to to make an appointment to make a long distance call. and, you know, your your slot 4 minutes at 2 a.m. and you could hardly hear on the other end of the line. but man, if you could connect through that switch it was like the pers

the white house is sa in: strategy? the white house is saying that — strategy?is saying that they've been - strategy? the white house is. saying that they've been trying to host discussions with muslim and arab american leaders since the start of the conflict, the president sitting down with a handful of leaders in october and senior officials have met with muslim and arab american leaders in the white house went to michigan to sit down with some of the elected officials over there who were frustrated by the administration's handling of the one seeking a meeting to talk about potential alternatives the current approach in policy. they are trying to straddle a convoluted line on the one hand starving their support for israel and honouring the support for the offensive in gaza while again trying to be a bit more critical, put more pressure on israel and its conduct in the war. we will see how long they can thread the needle and if they are able to appease the many different constituencies they are trying to keep the support of at this time. interesting reporting.

they are there at the white house in the white house briefing room every day, and they helped to negotiate certain things with the white house about access, about protocols, who sits where, the travel schedule, the routines for getting pool reporters closest to the president. it is a pretty busy organization, as kelly o'donnell was just saying. however, once a year, they do have this dinner, which they bill as a fundraiser for their scholarship programs. they give scholarships to journalists in college. obviously, though, it is a moment to schmooze. it has become a big thing where the corporate owners of the media organizations bring in politicians who they want to get more access to. they bring in corporate advertisers. they bring in celebrities to impress the politicians and the advertisers. it has become a tremendous happening in washington. it is washington's super bowl. >> janet donovan, talk about it being a tremendous happening. you have been out and about today and this week at some of the parties. who are some of the a-listers? >> this morning, i went to a breakfast at the ambassa

so the president said, let's have it on the white house lawn. they cannot stop that. it has been going on since then. easter reminds us of the power of hope and renewal, sacrifice, and resurrection. but mainly, love and grace towards one another. it's time to pray for one another. to cherish the blessings and the possibilities that we have as americans. that's what i see in our country. we are a great nation because we are good people. our values are solid. the rest of the world looks to us. we are determined to keep up that banner. and because of you, the american people, and i mean this sincerely, i have never been more optimistic about america than i am today. we have a norma's opportunities, enormous -- we have enormous opportunities, enormous opportunities. we just have to remember who we are. the united states of america. and there is nothing beyond our capacity. god bless you all. enjoy the day. and i'm coming down to do the easter egg world in just a minute -- roll in just a minute. thank you everybody. by the way, say hello to our buddy. -- to the easter bunn

white house easter egg roll. easter, everybody. i'm a teacher, so i love any time when we can turn the white house into a classroom. and that's what we're doing today. the south lawn is transforming into our learning playground and school community. and there's so much to discover. listen to a story in the reading nook, explore space, make circuit breakers, write notes to our troops, take a field trip to a farm, hunt for dinosaur fossils, and so much more. education expands our horizons and transports us to new worlds. just like these balloons, it allows all students to soar and reach unimaginable heights. i hope that you all learn something new today. but most importantly, i hope you all have fun. and now, it is my honor to please welcome my husband, the president of the united states, joe biden. [applause] president biden: happy easter! well, we did everything, but we couldn't control the weather. although, al roker told me this morning it was going to get sunny. folks, welcome to what's expected to be the bigg

the white house. i more like white castle. something you've never found in the minute i got there, it's so regal and you've got security, secret service, the other news networks giving the finger but i believe everyone who gets in the president, i like to be president someday. except as a background check so jimmy failla 2024 will probably not happen. although i might be .2024 by the end of the night tonight but i think we are sticking to cable news my overweight your skater collection foreseeable future. it was incredible dakota, a humbling experience and it's one of those reset moments, i don't mean to get schmaltzy because everybody here is in the back, i'm not kidding. i held hair during a commercial break but nice to see andrew mitchell again. i kid. the presidency and the white house itself is a reminder that was supposed to make a collective interest and investment in the betterment of this country so as a comic who doesn't take himself seriously, i do see opportunity in this moment as comics to kind of lighten the mood

do you expect that the white house press corps will be given some information by the white house tonightwith a term that you know well. there was a lit called this evening, meaning that there was not any expectation that at the very least we would see the president tonight. that doesn't rule out potential statements and it doesn't rule out is working the phones as we have been all night, trying to get any information we can. so those conversations are obviously ongoing at this point if we have not gotten any indication that the white house will respond in any formal way, until it has more information, this is certainly something that could change. this is a dynamic situation and any further escalation would warrant a response from the administration but at this point it is not our expectation although we are certainly trying to get more information to the public. >> i want to bring ben rhodes back into this discussion. from the perspective of inside the white house, of all the issues that have to be dealt with inside of the white house, one of them is informing mike memoli and therefore

we're still waiting for the white house correspondents dinner to get back underway. he week which what we call the delusional trump defender edition. in one corner we have former house speaker, newt gingrich take a wild guess who we is referring to in this soundbite. >> this is literally like some of the civil rights workers in mississippi in the 1960s. the whole thing frankly, resembles on the waterfront's stanley kubrick film. about corruption. >> obviously, which was equating the case of the murdered civil rights activist with none other than donald trump who is currently on trial for his role in paying astar to keep quiet about alleged affair as he ran for president. let that sink in for a moment. then of course, there's jesse watters went for a little more drama while describing the ex- president. >> eight they trapped him in a cage, we called the courtroom, but it's a cage, he's like king kong. what happens with king kong, your number, it's not going to be good. he will be out of this cage eventually they will not be able to keep him down.

and in the white house can ride that story line forever.he press to the whole world was watching. >> and then just six weeks into the invasion of iraq, a new made for tv spectacle. president bush hitching a ride on a fighter jets of the uss abraham lincoln, just off the coast of san diego to make what proved premature announcement george w bush puts on a flight suit >> yeah, a tight one. >> frankly, he's got the luck, doesn't a hotel and you that is the fighter pilots stratified, oversaw he's gotta go and i'm crude. >> and then he gives a speech about the end of combat operations with a huge banner behind him. it says mission accomplished the mission was not a communist >> no, not remote be accomplished in it'll go down as one of the great amen or presidential hubris of all time. >> in the battle of iraq the united states and our allies have prevailed the united states had not won a war in iraq nine states had started a war in iraq >> this moment encapsulated everything they predict so the iraq war, we're saying, which was that this was too

is the white house open to changing their position on this? >> we are going to let the israeli government do their investigation and see where that takes us. i don't want to get ahead of that. they are doing an investigation. we've said we wanted to be comprehensive, make sure that there's accountability. we wanted to be swift and public. don't want to get ahead of that. let that process move forward and we will see where we are from there. >> yesterday, john kirby said that the u.s. would not consider a shift in their policy towards israel until they finish their review of the kitchen strike. just now, they said the u.s. may consider a change if they don't make changes in gaza within hours and days. where is that shift coming? >> the conversation that happened today with the president was very direct, productive, professional. 30 minute conversation. it was based on humanitarian aid , protecting aid workers which is really important, protecting civilians. that's what the conversation was primarily about. we want to see measurable changes to p

right now there is no comment yet from the white house. the national security council, significantly, we are told, that israel did alert the u.s. for this operation was carried out. now, stephanie, it all comes te just days after the president came back over the weekend for an emergency meeting as iran retaliated against israel, you will remember that operation from israel and its partners were able to knock down hundreds of missiles and drones and that attack from iran to israel. now just earlier today, an interview in another network, the iranian foreign minister said that any attack by israel on iran would be met with maximum impact and the response from iran would be immediate so that is the large question at this point, stephanie. if, indeed, this was an attack by israel inside iran, what will the iranians do next? national security officials here at the white house will be watching very closely, and again, this comes just days t after president biden told prime minister netanyahu to take the wheel because there were no casualties in

i must say that when i first came to the white house in the late 1974, newspapers dominated the whitese press corps and the national conversation of what was news. by the time it got to the 90's and beyond, it was more the charts and paragraphs of the front page of the colorful usa today. and it was cable news and network news that made a real difference. susan: and now are we have a news media landscape that has just exploded, so many ways people can be informed, so many ways they can find their names, and many of them do not involve broadcast networks or newspapers. this is a world in which we have really had to adjust. ann: it really is. so you are in washington, editor of the usa today -- susan: washington bureau chief. ann: washington bureau chief. and you have time to write a book or three. how do you do that? susan: so i like to say, i no longer do anything i don't like, which is a good, privileged way to live. i very much like being involved in the daily news mix for usa today. but i also have written these three books. it has been like learning a new muscle to use. it's a dif

jackie has more the white house.eckled attendees who were arriving. the president did not mention any of that or the recent anti-semitism displayed on college campuses. he kept his sharpest attacks trained on trump. >> age is the only thing that we have in common. actually endorsing me. [cheering] >> i had a great stretch since the state of the union. donald has had a few tough days lately. you may call it stormy weather. >> the president also made himself the punchline once or twice playing off his age. >> it has been one year since i delivered this speech. jill was worried how i would do. i told her, don't worry, just like riding a bike. she says, that's what i'm worried about. [laughter] of course, 2024 election is in full swing. yes, age is an issue. i've always done well in the original 13 colonies. >> the entertainer -- my weekend update coanchor michael shea was going to join me here tonight but in solidarity with president biden i decided to lose all my black support. i was excited to be appear on stage with

what did the white house press corps think of her? she didn't come to the white house and. hang with us in the press briefing room. she was a presence, especially during that time where she got the sadat begin. all that was done, obviously away, from the white house. but when we travel wild with her, she was just she was that that new year's eve in tehran at midnight, they brought the travel pool. me and couple of other reporters up to the the elegant ballroom of the the avalon palace. they opened the doors and there was president carter and mrs. carter shah of iran, king hussein of jordan. and they just all said, happy new year, toast and champagne and everything. and i said, mr. president, you're going to go to egypt tomorrow to see president sadat. why is that? he went one. barbara wasn't there because. she and john chancellor of nbc and some the other bigwigs had been invited to the party they were off dancing somewhere and indeed, a few minutes later, we went back downstairs. the president's secret service agent, -- kiser, came and got me said, the president needs to s

sumi: where does that leave the white house? from the beginning of the war, the white house has warned about this conflict spreading. gen. kimmitt: president biden has said we have their back. so, i think the policymakers and the people inside the white house are concerned about what president biden is saying because he's in fact creating the very incentives for benjamin netanyahu to do more, whereas his secretary of state and policymakers are trying to get the israelis to do less. sumi: you think the president is making a mistake with that policy? gen. kimmitt: i think the way he is articulating policy without condition, i think is a mistake. sumi: what do you think you would need to hear from the president that would dial down the situation? gen. kimmitt: that he has talked to benjamin netanyahu and netanyahu said he would dial down the situation. sumi: they have not heard that yet, but they've had many conversations. i want to ask you about the department of defense's posture in the region. they moved additional assets to the

or whatever he took before the state of of the union, that's only saw jacked up joe clearly the white houseing to hide what is obvious according to a report from axial's biden changed his walking routine from marine one and instead of walking across the south lawn to and from marine one by himself he is now often surrounded by aids they go on quote with aids walking between biden and journalist camera position outside the white house the visual effect is to draw less attention to the 81-year-old halting and stiff gate right on cue this afternoon biden was seen walking back from marine one surrounded by staffers who were trying to hide his every step i very own jimmy was on the scene today at the white house covering the upcoming correspondence dinner he will weigh in ahead tonight, but just to keep track biden can't answer questions from reporters without his staffers telling him who to call on he can't answer those questions without statements written down by staffers on giant notecards he can't give a speech that was not written by a staffer and put into a giant teleprompter with massive

no comments coming from the white house tonight. earlier in the day there was tough talk from the president about these sanctions that the administration, the latest round they called sweeping actions when they are targeting the drone program. along with one of the country's largest steel producers and automobile companies with ties to the irgc. the president saying essentially let it be clear to all those who support around the tax, the u.s. is committed to israel's security i think that they will not hesitate to take on this -- not hesitate to take action to hold you accountable. now we are in this position where you... immediately saying that israel worked to continued to commit errors. he said there would be a swift and immediate maximum response. the anticipation is that we should hear from someone here at the white house by early tomorrow if not overnight about this. one quick note i want to make and that is the meeting that sullivan held with his israeli counterparts just five days ago sullivan was tweeting about a meeting he

— white house? it is pretty worried because i think _ white house?ied because i think it _ white house? it is pretty worried because i think it sees _ white house? it is pretty worried because i think it sees these - because i think it sees these threats as credible as you have been saying. it said john kirby, the spokesman in the last hour and a half, that there is a serious threat and that it is watching very closely. this is been the messaging for around three or four days now, both in public and behind the scenes from the white house. i think what we have seen in the behind—the—scenes element of this is you were hearing from david martin is a bit more of the detail of what within the scope of their assessment. that is not to say they definitively think this will happen, but some of those things, including the potential missile attack on two israelis soil. but clarifying that this is effectively within a range of possibilities they think the iranians are looking at. that it could come as close as today within 24 could come as close as today within

they do it at the white house.ge economic advantage financial advantage i should say for the president. i am reminded 2016 hilary clinton outspent donald trump by 10 -- one and he still want it's about the message and everybody knows these two candidates by don't think there's many mines left to be changed. shannon: here is a question our public look at this week the third party spoiler is a difference for them because we did polling that included rfk junior, cornell west he picked his vp this week. kennedy did. and that polling trump is still up by five points for a political asked the question people agree rfk junior as a spell that they do not agree on whose campaign candidacy is winning. >> is an excuse the democrats are using their only going to lose because of the third-party candidate involved with the reason joe biden is losing, the reason why we held an election today donald trump would be elected president. if you understand it's one statistic. over joe biden's presidency americans about from the highest

at the white house with the president.e sure that the character of people who are appearing with the head of state is sufficient to send proper signals about appropriate behavior from the white house. it's one of the roles that i think a head of state plays. the president is not just the chief executive. they set certain cultural norms. prior white houses would make sure someone in a salacious headline, wouldn't appear with the president. the trump white house, the president himself represents the characteristics you wouldn't want to see in your children. >> let me read a little bit from what's happening right now on the stand. the prosecution is saying so there would be multiple debts checking to make accounts, transactions comply with law. gary farro said a wire and account opening requires multiple layers of review. if i could pose reputational risk, that would be above my pay grade. any transaction that would go to a sanctioned country or a person of interest list, we would not process that transaction. farro also says

what you think of the white house saying it's a coincidence?shouldn't they have checked the calendar or are they just out of touch, which is worse? >> it's not easy to say which is worse but they could have talked about easter first at least. this is what i don't understand. we have three devoted to b dq issues. transgender entire month, not just a day in november. we have pride month in june and lgbt history month, the month of october. charlie kirk of turning.usa says altogether there's 145 days on the calendar to these lgbtq issues and sexualization of our world. yet, the one most important day for we recognize easter, jesus christ has risen, a sacred day in christendom, we have to get into this issue. why so much confusion for children? this is the part that concerns me. what about the children out there? the biden administration did not apologize for the fact that you could not have any religious reference on easter eggs to the white house. this is a christian holiday a religious holiday. that's it. >> the president called the easter bunny

what is coming from the white house? the official line coming from the white house?e white coming from the white house? tte: official line from the white house this morning that america stands by israel and that we need to wait and see what decision the israeli wall cabinet takes. we know that they have been meeting. john kirby, the white house national—security spokesman has been doing a round of interviews this morning and he has been talking about what mr biden is thinking. suggesting mr biden wants to calm tensions. he said every decision, every discussion that he has had is all designed to not let this become a broad regional war and thatis this become a broad regional war and that is why his head still is. we saw that statement last night from joe biden following his phone call with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, where he said that he would convene this g7 leaders discussion. we havejust been hearing about it there, saying that he is going to coordinate a unified volley united diplomatic response. we also had a statement last night, talking abou
