he received mail at the white house. one of them, one of the letters arrived at still in the churchill archives holdings. and it was it was just addressed way. churchill the magnificent the white house washing dc we all get mail of that of that kind. and what i'm suggesting is he was he was becoming some and he using the new popular authority to advance his cause and his was the cause of democracy the cause of freedom. and for this partic killer visit, he wanted to make sure that even though the japanese had attacked pearl harbor, that the alliance would focus on germany first. very important to. get germany out of the way and then deal with japan. and as history unfolded, that's exactly what transpired after that, things settle down and they get to work and they put together the opening of the war linking the u.s. and the british troops. but it's a farce, an ending opening to the series of visits that he to the u.s. and seven different times he is staying at the white house in our business professor at cbs, we often use

white house, bill allman. and we wanted to borrow a couple of that she had acquired for the exhibit. and i said to mr. allman, i said, you know, i'm sure you have some stuff the white could the white house has this huge warehouse of things. and i said, i'm sure you have some pieces in the warehouse that you could lend us. he said, oh, no, everything she is so good that it's all here in the in the residence, in the mansion. and they gave us a chair from the green room and a painting which was pretty cool. but you know, her, her efforts at the white house building on jackie kennedy started. tell us a little a little bit more about them. oh, indeed. white house historical association. of course, jackie kennedy starts this, i believe, 62 rooms around there. so mrs. kennedy deserves credit for starting that. but of her time in the white house was short then lady bird comes in and lady bird is into and outdoors of course famously and did a bang up job on that. to be fair to lady bird, she couldn't have touched anyth

you know, it was only ten years after he left the white house. and so most most of his papers were still classified. so i back off from the idea, but it you know, i was still curious about carter. i went on to other projects. and then in 2015, i sat down and wrote a proposal and i was still ignorant. i think about the south and all those other issues, but i was still curious and i wanted to learn. and you know, you write a book to try to satisfy your own curiosity. in the first instance, i sold the proposal in 2015 and then just a few weeks later, carter had that incredible press conference where he announced that he had brain cancer and was probably not going to be with us very much longer. so i thought i'd never get a chance to interview him. but as we all know, he survived. and i did get a chance to have four or five good interviews. and six years later, i have produced the book. yeah, well, talking about those interviews, i wanted to ask you about, you mentioned the prolog. you had access to president carter to interview him. i wonder what wa

why is the j-6 committee having people go to the white house to beg for blanket pardons. why is jack smith quitting early and-- . they're worried about the political persecution in the same way that you claim-- >> if they thought it was political persecution they wouldn't be worried. this has to be adjudicated you have to adjudicate 2020, you have to a. >> you had kate j6, the vast criminal conspiracy against president trump and on this one we're adamant. president trump needs to do this for this country not for himself, you see last night the jack smith thing is a nothing berger, total nothing berger. >> look, president trump himself has said he wants to look to the future so let's keep doing that, otherwise we'll get off the rails fast here. >> president trump does want to look to the future. he says his retribution will be peace and prosperity, that doesn't mean that some of his colleagues that understand what they-- not just tried to do to him, but did to this country has to be adjudicated and this is going to be a big effort, i think, of people trying to get presiden

correspondent outside the white house.jia, you have covered this president so closely. what do you make of how he made up this address, not only the accomplishments, that he feels he did not get credit for, but also this morning in a very populist tone. >> reporter: well, norah, frankly i expected much more about his accomplishments and his personal story in this farewell address because white house sources had talked about leading up to this moment how this was not just an exit from the white house, but this was an exit from 50 years of his public service, and he really wanted this to be personal and positive and nonpartisan, but certainly his message was dark, in many ways, as he issued those warnings, and even though he did not mention any of his political opponents by name, including trump, even though he did not talk about those tech tycoons who are now weaved into the trump administration, certainly almost every warning he had was a veiled strike at them, whether it was miss amp this information, talking about the la

white house, in your view? no, i think it's _ white house, in your view? house, in yourview? iirr, i think it's early to assess, but i do think there was a number of factors that were at play that resulted in the continued delay of an agreement. 0bviously, continued delay of an agreement. obviously, i continued delay of an agreement. 0bviously, ithink it started with the killing nasrallah and haniya, and the killing of sinwar. under the negotiations in terms of how many palestinian prisoners will be released, for every hostage life that is passed as a result of this conflict. i think that every adversary will attempt in every adversary will attempt in every terrorist organisation will attempt to try to exploit strategic transitions, and i think what we saw today in this announcement that there is no gap between our current administration and that of the incoming administration. to your point, prime minister netanyahu had the experience of working with president—elect trump in his previous ministration, so i think he clearly knew that there was a concerted

i was in the white house on 9/11.staff in the white house. what i saw was a government that was not well prepared to handle a terrorist attack. how much of that is due to the truncated transition we had? it's hard to say. we didn't have as many national security senior leaders in place as we could have had, had we had a full transition. the 9/11 commission, which was sort of the most important summary of what happened for our country and why, highlighted the fact that, for president bush, the fact that he had not had his top national security team in place or in place for very long, was an important contributing factor to what occurred in our country. post—9/11, there has been a recognition that we live in a very dangerous world, and that understanding those dangers is a fundamental responsibility of the leadership of the united states government. the first weeks after the installation of a new president is a period of real vulnerability for the united states. inauguration day, even- as ijust say that, i literally get
