nixon made on the white house collection. and just on how it looks overall and the fact that all of the things she did to enable more more people to come through the house and enjoy it, particularly in the era era, when it was much easier to get into the white house is something that, you know, literally millions of people have seen. they may not know that it was mrs. nixon who who acquired all these things and made it possible for. people with disabilities, others to come through and enjoy the house. she really has left. she really left an enduring mark on executive mansion that people and and really enjoy right up until the present time and i'm sure will for many years. you know i know that along with the furniture she was, as you mentioned, the adams portraits. she was responsible for the, i think, permanent loan is what they called it, of a portrait of dolley madison in bringing that to public display for the first time in the white house and was also there to oversee this rather sensitive process of bringing the portraits

, white house visitor logs, public, the trump white house refused to have press briefings. they simply stopped doing it when it became too difficult or challenging or uncomfortable for them. the trump white house went 300 days without having a single press briefing. 300 days of silence in that room. one of the trump white house press secretaries, stephanie gresham, never had a press briefing and that meant that she was the only trump white house press secretary who did not publicly lie on camera to the country and the press. there are some great reporters in that room. there always have been, there always will be, and there are people in that room who can lose their professional bearings and become hysterical and enraged and unprofessional and harmful to the accurate flow of information to the american public and at a period when too much in our politics is broken, accurate information for the voting public has never been more valuable or more important or more necessary for the very preservation of this constitutional democracy. congressman maxwell frost will join us after

white house restored the white house policy of making the visitor logs public. today, nbc news reported that on most of the days that the neurologist visited the biden white house, president biden was not there. so, if the new york times would have done just the minimal amount of homework, checking the president's travel schedule, they would have reported that the neurologist had visited the white house exactly 3 times when president biden was there. three, instead of the eight times in eight months reported that the new york times delivered and was breathlessly accepted by the white house press corps. that was easily available information to the new york times, the president's travel schedule, and they did not bother to even think about it, look at it, or report it. not one person working at the new york times from the publisher, editor on down to those reporters, not did it ever cross their minds, where was president biden on that day? where was he in the world? never crossed their minds. that is college newspaper standard. that we're talking about, here. pres

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

if you thought any of the white house press briefing today, it was the white house press corps and many of them at their absolute worst in the way they approached the press secretary who was trying to be responsive to medical questions where there were limitations on what she could say and the new york times reporting of the way the press secretary handled that was to say that she dodged the questions and that isn't true. the new york times is wrong about that. she responded to every one of the questions and she didn't answer the questions with the name that they were asking for of a particular doctor. she didn't give the answer the new york times wanted or other reporters wanted. but she did, in fact, answer every single time the reporters kept banging on about a new york times report today that indicated that a neurologist had visited the white house eight times in the last year. here is the full explanation of how that has nothing to do with president biden and president biden's health and the kind of out-of-control behavior by the white house, most of the white house press corps and

kevin kinard visited the white house ate time in eight months with different white house staff listedcontact points. now, knowing this information and white house logs reported on, one would think on this big relaunch day, the white house would have been ready to answer some pretty legitimate questions about dr. kinard and the nature of his visits. but instead to come america witnessed more stonewalling. >> the president, i can tell you, i have seen three times connected to physical that he gets every year that we provide. >> direct question... >> hold on, wait, wait, wait a second... >> in regards to the president specifically... >> hold on a second, no, no, no, wait a minute. ed, please come a little respect here. every time he has a physical, he's had -- that is answering that question. no, it is. you are asking me... but i also said to you, ed meyer also said for security reasons, we cannot share names. i cannot share names of specialist broadly from a dermatologist to neurologist, we cannot share names. there are security reasons. we have to protect... i understand that. ed might

had visited the white house at least eight times in a period of eight months, the white house trying to offer clarity but inevitably may have caused more confusion after press secretary karine jean-pierre, as you mentioned, said that every time the president received a physical, which has been three times, annually, and then the white house releases publicly the results of that physical, that neurological exam accompanied that physical. but notably she did not clarify when asked whether the neurological exams conducted walter reed or the white house. the press secretary saying a wide variety of specialists from walter reed visit the white house every year to treat thousands of military personnel. and she was repeatedly asked, had several fiery exchanges with reporters, whether she could confirm the name of this doctor that he is listed eight times in these public white house visitor logs, and the press secretary denying each time, saying that it is a matter of security. she did not want to reveal the personal identity of this doctor, jose. >> allie raffa and ryan nobles, thank you so

calling into a campaign call today, but also we are seeing a senior staff at the white house. senior staff at the campaign are all holding calls to try to reassure folks that are working both at the white house and the campaign that despite all of the panic and all of the uncertainty that we have seen in the days since the democratic debate and the president's very poor performance. that the president isn't going anywhere but of course this reassurance, a lot of democrats have told cnn really need to come directly from president biden, and that is part of the reason, of course, by the president it's going to be meeting with a group of democratic governors this evening. and the white house continues to say that we are going to see much more from the president in the coming days tonight president joe biden, trying to save his teetering reelection campaign after keeping a limited public schedule for days following his disastrous debate performance last week, the president emerging to try to reassure panicked supporters, biden rallying his campaign staff on a call telling them, qu

"politico" reports this morning that george clooney gave obama a heads-up that he would be calling for biden to drop out in his op-ed and obama did not object reportedly. the biden campaign down played clooney's op-ed indicating biden has more stamina

this pushback from the white house?use will damper those but i think you have alluded to the meeting that at the president will have his evening with democratic governors, people are going to give him their advice, their thoughts and he will give them his explanations and his thoughts, and will process them. at the end of the day it is joe biden's decision, with respect to congressman roy, if you really want to joe bought into leave you could just call on him to resign and waiting donald trump's statement guide on trumped or not a call for him to resign, because it's politics being played thereto, donald trump does not want joe bought into leave, he wants him to be the nominee. in terms of the president's health, i will give him the benefit of the doubt. another one to be a lot of that people watching right now, but it is complicated. health is complicated. we all know that unfortunately too well, you don't always know things right away. i was a this finally, the idea there was any kind of cover up or malicious intent i

the white house folks woman's saying that there are many doctors who in fact come to the white house complex. it's a, it's a large blocks of buildings here in washington where many people work. and if you're a military member working there, then you are treated by these military doctors who visit and they said that that is also a reason why there would not be more details provided about who exactly the neurologist that biden saw the identity of this person. the white house, citing privacy issues here, and again, the spokeswoman saying she was adamant that by the end does not have a new or all logical condition. i'm just going back to perkins for a little bit. so to give you some answers here, has the present being treated for parking says no, is he being treated for parking since? no, he's not. is he taking medication for parking says no. so those are the things that i can give you, full blown answers on, but i'm not going to don't, i'm not going to confirm a specialist. any specialist that comes to come to comes with a while. now it just like bite and was saying earlier, he did have

i've been a white house reporter. administration from the campaign well into the white house. and reading that hur report, i realised that there's no other person who does not work forjoe biden, who has spent five hours with him one on one. hur did it over two days. and so i read it with that in mind of, "my goodness, "this man had access to the president that no "journalist has had and really nobody aside from his family "or, you know, people who work for him," and that, you know, our bureau chief got us together and we sort of launched in a lot of directions to try to understand, "what is the president like behind "closed doors? " and the question was also amplified by pushback from the white house. voters have long said that the president is old, and they worry about his acuity. and the white house pushback has been quite simple. it has been, "if you could see what we see behind closed "doors, you would not have those concerns. "joe biden is absolutely fine. "he is sharp as a tack, and we see it every "day in meeti

we had multiple back and forths with the white house.e. i think, to me, one of the more surprising things about it — and i think it gets to the sort of partisan environment that we all live in — is there was a sense that — and we put it in the piece — we were very transparent that most of our sources were republicans. not an - — most of them were republicans. but we put that in there, because it's a very — it's a very politically fraught topic to be writing about. i was surprised that so many people discounted itjust because our sourcing had included republicans. i think that if you approach a beat, especially in washington, with some sort of view, that if you have an r next to your name, you're a liar, and if you have a d next to your name, you're a truth—teller, that really gives the democratic party a lot of veto power over important reporting. it also gives a real sense of the partisan nature of american journalistic reporting, potentially. i did see a tweet, something put on x byjennifer rubin of the washington post, who said, "the

"a top advisor also spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the situation said the president was "well aware of the political challenge he faces and why wouldn't he be" but the question is not even about the conversation with an ally but we are seeing so many leaks now that are pointing in this direction from the white house. where there is smoke there is fire. >> that's true but i think it's worth remembering we have a collection of people here who are unreliable narrators at best. it is true karine jean-pierre ju

white house. as you moved through it and got to this past weekend, what was it like for you personally in that moment when you understood the president had made this decision to stop campaigning what did you personally feel at that moment? when you got that? >> you know, emotional, obviously. but pride, a lot of pride. because it was certainly a moment where, again, i realized who i am working for. someone who is a great man. someone who understands what it means to be selfless. someone who understands. i mean, when you take these jobs. and you are a public servant, lawrence. you know how it is. for me, when i take a job like this, you believe in the person that you are working for, right? believe in the platform. believe you're going to make change. believe we are going to make people's lives better. and that is why i took this job. that is why i took this job. and we have been able to show that over and over and over by really putting an unprecedented record. so when i heard the news on sunday m
