this is the cross hall in the white house. it's red carpeted and it runs from the east room on the east end of the house across to the state dining room on the west end. very famously, you can your mind's eye can visualize the president coming out of one of these side doors, probably the moat, one of the most famous occasions was president obama. when one sunday evening he walked down this hallway and announced to the nation that osama bin laden had been killed and certainly many presidents we've seen president reagan, many others walked down this hallway to a press conference in the east room and it has it looked like this most of its history, essentially. yes. yes. if we were visiting in the 1800s, what would have happened? you know, i've often asked and we've talked about our wonderful hero, william seale, the wonderful, renowned historian of white house history who has passed away. i said, bill, would george washington and thomas jefferson recognize this building if they were to come in today? he said fundamentally, yes, of

when the truman moved into the white house with their daughter, margaret. determined to make the house a home for his family. but the home they move into is 145 years old and beginning to show its age. when bess truman came in to see the white house on tour, before truman was going to take over, after fdr had died, she was appalled. louise on the wall where the pictures had been, the carpet seemed threadbare and she just couldn't imagine living in that gloomy place. truman moved in. the roosevelt's moved 13 van loads of furniture and objects and memorabilia out. they were very great accumulators. the place looked like an old hotel people had moved out of and had big cracks in the wall. you should see the pictures. it began to creak a lot and it began to worry. people in the east room, the ceiling, sag and plaster begins to fall. the wooden is rotting and is deemed a fire hazard. it is obvious that drastic changes needed everywhere in the white house. but the first alteration truman makes is to add an amenity to the family quarters, enhancing private life her

churchill and the white house has fun anecdotes and what it's like to encounter churchill white houseur book captures the urgency of the moment and 41. they come across the atlantic to visit franklin roosevelt, after allun have after the united stas has been attacked. decides in 19e white. thank you, bob. winston had wanted the united states to get involved, moved. i suspect most of you are aware here of the speech that he gave less than a month into his prime ministership when he we shall never. we will fight on the beaches. we fight in the fields. and you that you know, the statement that setting is. encompasses 141 words. it ends with him saying that he hopes the new will immediately made the decision, i will go to washington and i will create the grand. and that meant going to the white house. he does it very. it takes ten days of fighting, gales, storms. the possibility of a u-boat attack. finally, on december 22nd, he arrives and they do not announce it until. he is in behind the gates of the white house. he has told the president, i will be with you about a week. he left. on ja

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

geoff: you covered the white house.t is worth reiterating how we got here and why donald trump enjoys such latitude among elected republicans. >> he really rose from the ashes. he is a phoenix who rose from the ashes and he survived two impeachments, an assassination, and he survived numerous criminal prosecutions that didn't ultimately go anywhere. except in one case, when the sentencing was put on hold. he comes in with the supreme court, a supreme court with a conservative super majority that he is credited with putting there, that has a more expansive view of presidential power than past courts. president trump and his administration, in trump two point oh, has a significantly more expansive view of executive power than they did the first time around. if the theme of the first trump administration was that trump was pushing against norms, this time he is pushing up against laws and the constitution. like changing the 14th amendment, or saying you can use an executive order to do away with birthright citizenship. tha

about this and call for the white house to reverse everything. the white house is arguing because the ap serves a global audience is not recognizing the america only guidance the gulf of mexico should now be called the gulf of america they feel they have the authority to bar the ap from various events. there's been a lot of members of the press over the last few weeks so they have also been saying there's a bunch of other media we can bring into fill their spot who will adhere by our guidelines. press advocates argue this is concerning because of the other times administration changes wording on something and insist everybody follows along and a news outlet doesn't this could foreshadow big also be potentially banned. host: a quick bit about what you mentioned earlier, the president returning to cpac. tell us about the event and what to expect. guest: it is a years long conservative gathering and it's taken place in various places over the years but it is in maryland just across the river from d.c. paid in the many ways it's transformed to being

the white house press briefing. you can see the white house press corps is gathered there as we're waiting for the press secretary to come out. alex marquardt back here with us. and no doubt there are going to be a lot of questions about the conversation trump had with putin about what is happening right now, as they are kind of i think the white house, the administration, alex, trying to spin this as belarus, russia, just sort of respecting the position that president trump is taking. there's going to be a lot of questions about what has happened today, what belarus may have gotten in all of this, and what is certainly good news that americans are being released. >> i think we really need to look at belarus as an extension of russia here. and that president lukashenko is doing this because president putin almost certainly asked him to. the u.s. also exchanged a prisoner. we should note a guy named alexander vinnik, a russian who was extradited here to the united states a few years ago. he is a convicted money laund

it is a privilege to cover this white house. it is a pillage to be the white house press secretary. and nobody has the right to go into the oval office and ask a president of the united states questions, that is an invitation that is given. and their hundreds of outlets on this campus peered many of you in this room who don't have the privilege of being part of that pool every single day and getting to ask the president questions peered we reserve the right to decide who gets to go into the oval office, and you ae credentials to be here including the associated press was in this briefing room today. >> reporter: but isn't it retaliatory in nature, is the argument because the reason the ap was barred was because they are not using the phrase go for america, they are using golf of mexico in line with their standards. the white house will retaliate against reporters who don't use the language you guys believe reporters should use and how does that align with the first amendment commitment. >> secretary leavitt: i was upfront on day one if we feel their allies being pushed by all that's

that was president trump at the white house. he just spoke alongside mark fogel, who, after three years of being in a russian prison, he was sentenced to 14 years of hard labor in russia, is now back home in the united states. jeff zeleny is over at the white house for us. jeff, i want you to just tell us a little bit about a key aspect of this. the president sent steve witkoff over to russia, to moscow to make this deal happen. he was there with the president tonight. tell us about the significance of that and what they were able to accomplish in getting marc fogel home. >> abby, that is significant. and on this frigid, snow covered february night in washington, there is a sense of a thaw in u.s. russian relations. the president said there is goodwill between the u.s. and russia and steve witkoff, who you see right there on screen in the the camel colored jacket. he is the president's middle east envoy, a long time friend of president trump's from the 1980s. he was actually with him the day of his second assassination attempt i

that is the white house, the entrance to the white house. we expect the president will be speaking sometime this hour. when that happens, we'll bring it to you live. and anyway, the a lot of people put a lot of effort into this, and we're expecting one more hostage release, although we don't have the details of it. and that's happening tomorrow. anyway, joining us now from washington with a full report on the trump administration's efforts to bring americans home. mark meredith is with us. mark, good to see. good to have you. thank you for being with us, sean. >> good to be with you as well. >> you're looking at live. >> pictures of the south portico of the white house. this is where we expect fogel to arrive here momentarily. you can see it's been snowing here at joint base andrews and throughout dc, so getting over out to the white house is taking a little bit of time. his plane touching down about 50 minutes or so. you can imagine the day that mark fogel has had, not to mention the last several years. he's expected to shake hands with pre

actually, the white house earlier tonight itself, the white house account tweeting out a picture of that very image. so this is, you know, not only something that's not surprising that they have not shied away from, but it's really something that they've leaned into heavily over the past several months. >> zolan when you're reporting on the mood inside the west wing and what these first few few weeks have looked like, this kind of moment sort of encapsulates what this return has looked like and kind of the attitude that we've seen from a lot of white house officials since trump retook power. >> there are some. >> words that come to mind. are emboldened, defiant as well. that's that's the words that come up when you talk to folks in the white house right now. look, president trump, as in the first couple of weeks coming into the white house and we've talked about this, wants to reshape the federal government in his own image. and we've talked about that. on when it comes to topics that have human consequences and policy consequences, conducting loyalty tests for folks that come in, execut

in the trump white house. so i decided to do a deep dive exploration of infighting, the white house, to see if it had happened in previous before the trump administration. and spoiler alert it did. i was just going to ask you that and so now i was looking for new topic that would speak to our current moment. and what i noticed is that ceos and big companies are more powerful than ever before they affect so many aspects of our lives. i mean, the you know, the iphones we carry cars, we drive the fuel that powers cars. i mean, these all come from big corporations. but at the same time, ceos seem more unpopular than ever. and we're in a weird moment where both and republicans seem hate corporations. and so i thought now is as good a time as any to explore the history of ceos and their big corporations and big a theme in this book and in some of your past books is conflicts. a fight house was about conflict inside the white house between staffers who work for the same boss belong to the party. this book, the power

but let's talk about what else happened here at the white house today, which was the white house hasarred the associated press from three events that have happened, not the press briefings, but from three events where the pool of reporters goes in, which for people who don't cover the white house on a daily basis, because you can't put everyone in the oval for a pool spray of his meeting with a world leader, there's one person representing each medium print, radio, tv producers that go into this. the ap has a wire. they distribute their news widely to to thousands of people across the u.s. they are now barred over the fact that they will not use the term gulf of america, that you still use gulf of mexico. and the white house was asked about this today, and this is what they had to say. which white house official made the decision to bar the ap reporter from the oval office and the diplomatic reception room last night? >> well, first of all, let me just set the record straight. it is a privilege to cover this white house. it's a privilege to be the white house press secretary, and nob

in a striking new court filing, the white house argues, quote, like other senior white house advisers, mr. musk has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself. so then who is in charge of the department of government efficiency? earlier, i asked trump's deputy chief of staff for policy, stephen miller. >> doge is. the what was formerly u.s. digital services. it's an agency of the federal government that reports into the office of the executive office of the president, which reports to the president of the united states. >> he says trump's in charge. back in november, trump said musk was in charge when he announced doge. quote, i am pleased to announce that the great elon musk, working in conjunction with american patriot vivek ramaswamy, will lead the department of government efficiency. ramaswami long gone, but musk remains, and he certainly sounds like he's the man in charge. >> we actually are trying to be as transparent as possible in our actions. we post our actions to the doge handle on x and to the doge website. all of our actions are fully public. it's

we have publicans with control of the white house, the senate, and the house, so if they would like to pass a bill for low priorities that they know they will not get any support from the other side of the aisle, for example, democrats will not want to support tax extensions, border funding or energy policy, republicans can use budget reconciliation, and arduous process where if you can get everybody on board, allows you to circumvent the democratic alabaster, so for most pieces of legislation, 60 votes are needed in the senate, republicans only control 53 seats, and to get any of these big-ticket items done in a normal world, they would have to get at least seven republicans on board. if you use the budget reconciliation process, which can be used for various pending matters, you can circumvent that opposition. right now we are seeing republicans trying to get going on the budget reconciliation process, the first step of which is passing a budget resolution, which the answer to a chest of art diluted house republicans. host: if you would like to join the conversation and ask a questio

i said i don't want to work in the white house. he said i'm not working in the white house.'m working for my friend l.b.j. so things happen like that in your career. you make choices and take risks, meet people, you do your best in every job and people take notice of it. peter: this is a little indelicate perhaps but did growing up jewish in a so you were city affect your world for you? stuart: it. did and in an unusual way. the jewish community in atlanta when i was growing up in the 19 fifth and early 1960's was very cohesive by quite small. today it's like 174,000. there were only four synagoes everyone in the jewish community department their heado on civil right. they remembered the leo frank hanging and the holocaust was never discussed. i had two semimalthings that transformed my life. i went to a high school in which i was all-american but never would have had i not been in an seems to be frustrated league. i'm 1 years old, i get on a bulls to go home from atlanta, downtown and the only seat left is the last seat on the last row and i sit down and an elderly black la

we expect them showing up at any moment at the white house. hopefully be able to show the american people that. and then the deadline, the line in the sand that president trump drew for hamas, noon on saturday. your thoughts on both. >> this is the focus of president trump. this is important to him. it gets done in his first term, he bought 55 hostages home. >>> now we are barely three weeks into his presidency and he's bringing home number 6 or number 7. i read an article on foxnews.com where president trump met with his family and said if i get back in there i'm going to bring him home. and he did it. donald trump is amazing that way. he's committed to it and he makes it happen and this american is coming home to american soil. >> i will tell you if you read the tea leaves, the seven hostages that trump got released. americans back home. that does not include when he was transitioning and he said they better be released the hostages before i become president or all will break loose. now he's given them until noon saturday. if i'm iran and ha

every day in the trump white house, but did happen every day in the biden white house.y asked questions about elon musk's possible conflict of interest, but no one in the white house press corps asked a question about elon musk literally snatching food away from starving babies. there has not been one question asked in the white house by anyone in the white house press corps, to the white house press secretary or to donald trump about elon musk's decision, supported by donald trump, to take food away from starving babies, from starving mothers, from starving grandparents. in sudan, where the united states agency for international development was saving lives every day by getting food to people in the middle of a famine. elon musk's conflicts of interest, though, of course, are not as important as the people that he is actually killing in africa this week. and that is what he's doing. that is what's happening. you heard doctor atul gawande, former usaid official, on this program monday night, saying lives have already been lost. people have already died because of what e

the white house itself doesn't yet have an end came strategy for this war. so they're testing messages. they're watching reactions. and also, as we know from the 1st trump administration, president trump himself can be quite erratic and change his mind on directions on topics based on more or less, who was the last person in the room to give him advice. he goes with his gun sometimes. so the fact that american messaging in the past week has flip flopped so dramatically is actually good news for europe and should be reminder that nothing is set in stone. and that european action can still greatly influence the trajectory of the trump administrations, narratives and rhetoric. but by passively just reacting with statements, it keeps pushing in the kremlin much more opportunity to shape events. i don't think we need to read too much into the statements of this week because everything at the end of the day will depends on what we do. and not what is said. and last but not least, no matter what statements come out with the white house, they do not dictate what the

and the white house were talking about an issue, and zuckerberg was kind of sympathetic to the white house view, but he was complaining that his staff was on a different side of the issue. and then there was snickering among the white house after saying mark is with us, but he's afraid of the liberal staff. as a c.e.o. today, especially in these high-tech companies, you have to take into account what your staff thinks. the reason jamie dimon and mark zuckerberg can take different approaches is because dimon has employees all over the country, where is facebook is more concentrated in liberal areas in california and more likely to have a more liberal staff. so that staff isn't so excited about seeing the c.e.o. of their company befriending donald trump. >> the barely a democrat strategy might be the right idea for zuckerberg, but it's very, very difficult to execute. >> yeah, it's harder for zuckerberg to do barely democrat than it is for dimon. zuckerberg's employees want him to be a full-in democrat. >> you also go into the hunter biden laptop story, which i have enjoyed ignoring as

butjordan�*s king rejected the idea on tuesday in a white house meeting. would see palestinians keep their land in a reconstructed gaza. the white house press secretary acknowledged the king's position, but said that president trump believes his own idea is "more majestic". the king would much prefer that the palestinians stay in place, with the additional land to be used for new developed, which would greatly create jobs at levels never seen before, but the president feels it would be much better and more majestic if these palestinians could be moved to safer areas. our middle east correspondent wyre davis gave us this update from jerusalem. the ceasefire looks increasingly precarious as we get to saturday's deadline, a deadline imposed on hamas to release israeli hostages or the ceasefire deal comes to an end and the war against gaza resumes. but apart from mr trump specifying that all 76 hostages should be released, outside the framework of the existing peace agreement, the israeli prime minister and the other ministers have not specified how many priso
