[laughter] steve mcqueen, if you are out there find me on facebook. [laughter] but i agree that is what made is so exciting that it was difficult to find these stories. once you do they feel like they are out of the movie especially ellen craft where they don't need a but the right place our where

no it's not the white house way. it is the family's way within the white house.and you need to adapt to the new family. that takes a while. i think the residents staff does it better. these are people who worked for the previous president. now you are working for me. how are you going to respond. how do i respond to you. we know in the resident staff when that has taken place. usually when you walk into the room when there is a conversation going on with family members or staff members were the first lady, conversation stops. they do not know whether he -- whether you are going to hold this information here or not. we are behind the screen the secret service puts up for security. we go past that. we are with the family all the time. the family is initially very reluctant to speak openly. at some point, two weeks, six months, a year, conversation continues when you walk into the room. there is a collective, ahh, we have made it that goes through the residence staff, through the grapevine of the staff. dr. kumar: betty, we talked earlier about the get-togethers res

white rule black majority. because of the power structure but that committee was overwhelmingly african american. >> guest: with that power structure was there. and if not obama who? he did not ago but everything comes to a president. and this is what bothers me. why are you asking him about ferguson? why not? the is the president of united states. race is a part of everything. race issues come to every president. lbj. jfk. abraham lincoln. all these presidents had dealt with issues and acted on them. so why would you ask about race? because he is the one to a effectuate change. >> host: did clinton come close to issuing what some african americans would consider an apology for slavery? >> he wanted to. >> host: there was a speech he gave with recovered in africa. back and forth within the white house hearing that you will get an apology for slavery for gore said i about looking for one but also with reparations but i think bill clinton was the one really the only one who could have done a. but the timing is ri

we deal with the white house every day. a duty officer on call always ready to take a call from a journalist who is having a hard time getting access or member of the pool who can't get the full pool into a event with the president and the fundraiser. we only stand ready to do that job. it does make a difference when people come and show their support. that is what i love. announcer: that was christie parsons of the tribune company. margaret carlson, he used to watch frequently on cnn, she was with time magazine for a long time, and now is a columnist with bloomberg view, she spoke to c-span about how she feels about hollywood and the white house correspondents dinner. >> bringing in these people, it brings attention to them outside of their usual habitat. that -- it teaches anybody about what white house correspondents do. announcer: if you would like to make a comment about the dinner facebook.com/c-span. follow us they are. we are following the white house correspondents dinner on twitter if you want to make a comment as

this was a country for white men and as long as i'm president it shall be a government for white men, johnson said. that summer johnson allowed , white southerners to hold state elections that resulted in the election of legislators that filled with ex-confederates, who immediately began passing the infamous black codes. laws designed to re-create as much of the antebellum racial and economic order as possible. the various black codes band african-americans from serving on juries, marrying or socializing with white people, owning firearms, meeting in groups of six or more after sundown, using insulting language toward whites. the codes required that at the beginning of each year african-americans sign labor contracts or be arrested, find with vagrancy and hired out to a local planter to pay the fine. if i had time, i could go on all night about other onerous provisions but two of our greatest historians are here with us this evening. i've asked them to lecture on the black codes after the reception. [laughter] prof. ross: just kidding. what is clear is that johnson's policies allowed

i started working the white house, my white house sources.nd trying to find out what stage they were in. at first, i remember a very high up source in the national security council telling me that something was percolating. and that was about two months before the release. it is interesting where it happened. i will say that one of the things that we are getting away from are the networks, some magazines and newspapers are getting away from traveling with the president all of the time. we keep pushing back to our bosses about, at least at the network level that there may not be a huge story that we are breaking when we are with the president, but we have unusual access to the people who normally do not return your calls when you're in washington. when you are in china, or in burma, or in higher -- four in hawaii for two weeks with the president, there is a lot of time to talk in formally with people who are your sources. it was on one of these trips that a very high a person told me, before the end of the year. we had, we focused on that. all

white rule and black majority. the inversion of the power structure. >> host: the police were largely white. the community was a black. >> guest: and the power structure is different they're, too. majority white. so i think that the eric garner's michael brown issue israel. if not obama, who. >> host: he did not go. >> guest: he did not go. everything comes to the president. and this is the thing that bothers me. we forget so easily. people are asking him. why not. race has come to every president in that building. i mean,, lbj john f. kennedy abraham lincoln eisenhower all these presidents have dealt with issues of race. >> host: and acted on it. >> guest: yes. people have yes. people have to understand. where would you ask about race? he is the one who can effectuate change. >> host: bill clinton did he come close to issuing what some african-americans would consider an apology for slavery? >> guest: he wanted to. there was a speech he gave what we covered him in africa. he did not apologize for slavery. he was a

the white house is evacuated. as they came back in, he got the official word that no big deal a fence jumper. he said, no, this is not normal. >> he had a secret service contact who told him that the fence jumper had made it across the white house lawn and into the white house itself. >> that instinct, quickly working to sources to find the senior white house officials who could confirm what really happened said his reporting apart. >> josh got on top of it. rode the wave. you feel very comfortable knowing that josh is on the story, because he knows the story will be covered well. ♪ >> jim breaking the story from miami. good morning. >> this it is a historic day between united states and cuban. >> there's no better feeling when you turn on the tv at 8:45 and there jim is breaking the story. >> jim not only broke the news about allen gross being released , he followed the story throughout the day while traveling from havana. it was amazing reporting. >> jim, who broke the story from cuba tonight. >> on the streets

he did during in the white house. he served alcohol. he did not drink to excess in the white house. he did not drink to function. neither was it the case he would go on binges. i think that --again, we do not have grant's medical chart in front of us, but i think if we did, we would see that grant have low tolerance for alcohol and very little would have that effect on him. i think it is important to put the drinking charge into a wider context. in the mid-19th century, we witness a real upsurge in the resistance to drink. this is a time when the temperance movement is very strong. this is a time when the prohibition party came into being. it is this cultural sensitivity against alcohol that gave grant 's enemies a weapon against him. it could blow up into a real charge against him. what is important here -- not that grant had a couple drinks in the white house. he certainly did on occasion. what is important is these murmurings about his habits. whatever the reality was, those murmurings diminished his reputation, and to some degree did undermine his effectiveness as president. the

and so i started working the white house -- my white house sources. and trying to find out what stage they were in. and at first it was just sort of, well the word i remember clearly was very high up source in the national security council telling me that something was percolating and that was about two months before the release i think it was. and it is interesting where this happened too. i will say that one of the things that we are getting away from, or the networks especially, and i think some magazines and newspapers especially, getting away from is traveling with the president all the time. and but one of the -- we keep pushing back to our bosses about, at least the network level is, yes, there may not be huge stories we're going to break on these trips of the president when he goes places, but we have unusual access during -- my colleagues know that -- we have unusual access to the people who normally may not return your call when you're in washington. but when you're in china or you're in burma or you're in hawaii for two weeks with the presi

asking the white house about this timing.e saying we understand there will be a fountain of questions relating to all of this. you'll have the president's remarks. there's going to be some questions answered at today's press briefing. so at this moment they are not giving any more insight into the timing there. but it is interesting. we know that the reporting was out there. it makes sense this is how it came about. an extremely difficult thing for the white house to do to put out this lengthy statement, for the president to get out there and give large scale apology talking about grief and condolences, saying he could never do or say enough to ease the heart aches of the families. focusing first on the emotional side of this on the families left there so long without information. saying he can't begin to imagine the anguish, expressing profound regret and deepest apologies. after that though he did explain the operation saying this was fully consistent with counter-terrorism guidelines explaining some of what led up to this

black-on-white violence.ssues. >> to what extent is it a rainbow nation? what extent are things getting mixed? we like to think we live in a rainbow nation, but in fact, in the states like to a great extent in different neighborhoods. in some ways, it looks to me outside looking in, a little more gracefully mixed up than we've managed in the states. >> here you've got black, white, colored, all sorts of people here. also once you have the knowledge that the economic disparities are managing to keep us divided as well. i think what we need to do is unpack what we mean by rainbow. i think the idea of being united and being diverse also means that there'll be moments of discord. >> and you think things will continue to improve? >> yeah. i think we've seen our worst. and that's not to say that we're getting it right all the time. but it's an experiment you need to find as you go along. that's really the south african story. the dream is there. we all agree that the visions are there. but these are not bigger than

most of the tests only involved white and black subjects. it's impossible i think for anyone to try to suggest what the solutions are, but i think we have to start somewhere and how do you legislate away racism or sort of wrong thinking? that's very difficult to do but i do think we can take a big step by measuring bias, and we've already taken that step to one extent with traffic violations. sfpd now reports on traffic stops. but we should extend it to detentions whether or not it results in a arrest or not, who is being detained? who is being frisked and searched? who is being arrested and tracked for racial disparities? we just started doing this. we have a racial justice committee and we have a partnership with the center at the university of pencil zaneia and we need to do this and they do this and the chief said and they need to follow up and make sure that the reports when they occur are taken seriously. i think that it's important that we require officers who witness others who are engaging in this conduct -- right, because we had th

so the officers summoned calls and somebody says, princess, in this homicide a white whale white male was the suspect the officer try to find a white male so the suspect in this incident was a white male. >> presidentthough i had. continue. >> clerk: waders and gentlemen letter given the report you will have your chance to react. i'm not saying it does. i'm just saying let her give the report. let her get the report and you can comment on it. that's all masking. proceed ma'am. >> testifier: this excite basically a subset of the fireside. the subset this is all this is driver arrested again, the totals of the top is where the victim identified the race of the suspect totals at the bottom was her actual arrest. the differential is the difference between the 2 percentages. this is juvenile arrest. same format same slide. i'll give everyone a moment to look at it. >> commissioner the numbers are quite small for us. we don't have a printout so i think you can highlight the things you think are important and will try to track then we can get some time to look at the data. formulate our ques

>> no not in any way that the white house we have seen the white house do it. one of the possible explanations for this is that the white house is feeling intense pressure on this. you are seeing the. >> intense pressure that they have to be so cheap and cheesy and be like, you know children instead of being leaders, representing the americans and making us proud and realizing we may have differences but at least we are not going to be. >> frankly that ship has sailed a long time ago. i'm not expecting that from this white house. the reason they are attacking netanyahu in this way is he has proven to be a very effective critic of what the white house is trying to do. as you look at just today at the news today from the supreme leader, it's like the white house has been punked on this iran deal. you look at the iranians walking away from what the deal the white house presented on sanctions walking away from what the white house presented on inspections saying that was false, that it never happened that way? the white house has to be feeling pressure. you are see

the white a record. the white house doctors is aerobic golf.-span: 1992 another time we did a presidential debate. what was it it like to be chosen to do this and how much preparation did you do? >> guest: for the 1st debate we were told 36 hours before we had been chosen. i was on his campaign train with julie literally texting for take off and they stop complaining came back to the terminal is because and compton had a phone call. i was given a number in los angeles will you be on the debate tomorrow night? new york and asked for permission. yes. they all knew it was coming. coming. so i got almost no preparation time. i spent that preparation time staying up late running questions. the 2nd time the 2nd time we had at least a week or two notice. once i was asked to be a debate questioning i kind of cut off contact with them on the campaigns but with those trying to influence questions because i wanted to i wanted to be able to have a clear head and clear thought and look at it with fresh eyes. c-span: here are couple of questions you asked ba

white men make up a small percentage of clients in the ryan white program, which serves a greater number of people of color and women than are in the general population of people with hiv. again, these demographic differences might have implications for how programs are designed and how outreach is conducted for people who have not used public services in the past. as i mentioned, the insurance companies decline to provide information on the number of disability insurance policy holders and health care and other service providers generally don't collect this kind of information. so we've estimated the number of people with insurance, with disability insurance. we began by assuming that people who were diagnosed before antiretro viral therapy became available were more likely to be disabled and unable to work than people diagnosed after effective therapy became available in the mid-90's. they end of 2014 there were 6,668 people in san francisco who had gone diagnosed from the beginning of the epidemic through 95, and we start by assuming that these people are more likely to have been disa

that new video white before philip white's viewing tonight. the the person who shared it has not released it publicly until now. meanwhile this police department is still on edge, with a threat of the sign's tack that is being taken very seriously. this is new video of the controversial vineland police take down of the three two-year old philip white before his death in police custody. an officer on the man's back before a police doggies called over. the dog attacked. the the officer is punching. the video was captured on march 31st while police were responding to a disorderly conduct call on the 100 block of grape street. residents say white was on the sidewalk acting strange. >> reporter: investigators say when officers identified as lewis, and richard janezach responded white resisted and tried to grab the k-9 officer's gun. neighbors begged white who had his hand up to comply as the dog held on to his arm. >> unaudible. >> white was later rush to the hospital where he died. autopsy results of in the yet been released. the death sparked ang

you can't be white? >> no. i didn't say that. >> do black students need to be taught by black teachers? i just don't know if that's the issue. but what i did see on that video was absolutely revolting. it looks like the guy was driving around in a benz with a busted taillight. he fled on foot. there was a scuffle. i didn't see much of a scuffle because you don't really know what happened beforehand. and then the guy's you know, turning his back and he empties the gun in his back. now, the supreme court, like you said, says you can shoot this guy if he poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others. he wasn't armed. and he was running away. and the guy wasn't looking very athletic athletic. he's 50. he's fumbling around. he was no threat at all. >> this is terrible. >> the cop actually kind of looked like a lazy coward. it's like he didn't want a foot pursuit. he just wanted to drop the guy. i just want to praise the guy that filmed it. >> let me speak to your point. you

it's not the white house way.hin the white house, and you need to adapt to the new family. that takes a while. i think the residence staff does it better because they've been through it before than the families do. these are people who worked for the previous president. now you're working for me. how are you going to respond? how do i respond to you? and we know in the residence staff when that's taken place because usually when you walk into the room when there's a conversation going on amongst family members or staff members with the president in the residence or the first lady, conversation stops. they don't know whether you're going to hold the information that you overhear or not because we're behind the screen that the secret service puts up for security. we go past that. we're with the family all the time. so the family initially is very reluctant to speak out openly. at some point, two weeks, six months a year, conversation continues when you walk into the room. there's a collective ah we've made it, that

joining white privilege is a new piece of far left propaganda called white spretion.ly the anti-american zealots are trying to convince people that we have an unjust society we need a complete overhaul in our political and economic systems. white privilege and suppression will be a big issue in the upcoming presidential campaign even if those terms are not openly used. so let's get down to it. the other night on the factor, i said. this. >> our traditional american values are under siege nearly everywhere. if you are a christian or a white man in the u.s.a., it's open season on you. therefore, hillary clinton has an advantage. she can run a general campaign, first woman in the white house and i'm going to help you. by increasing the entitlement society. that's my political analysis. you may disagree, but i can back up what i say all day long. enter "new york times" columnist charles blow, a man who has never seen an alleged grievance he did not try to exploit. he writes, quote: fox news' bill o'reilly ratcheted up the rhetoric on monday with the words hillary clinton
