white house grounds. they've been very carefully installed over the years so as to not impinge upon historic character of the grounds, damage any of the significant tree plantings and really to not interfere with views to and from the white house. sort of the iconic shots to of the exterior of the building. so i don't think anybody would consider it an eyesore. >> do you know who, which first lady used the pool more than anybody else? >> i believe it was barbara bush. >> it was barbara bush, who loved to swim. and i think she had to be very careful when she wore her white terry cloth bathrobe, he got by without anybody seeing her. [laughter] i remember old pictures of the white house showing they had a greenhouse or a conservatoriesome. >> yeah. so the -- conservatory? >> yeah. so the greenhouses and the conservatory are both 9th century -- 19th century aspects of the white house and the white house grounds. the conservatory was a private space rather for the president and first lady, their invited guests

house -- that the white house is watching really closely. because these poor regions, the results are said to be announced tomorrow. and the concern that white house has met with results. because they basically say, that it is predetermine, we know what they're going to say, that people over only voted to join russia. which, of course, these referendums are basically being carried out at gunpoint. with armed escorts taking these poll workers house to house and watching people allowed these ballots. the white house says they will never recognize those results. but their concern is that what their public, russia then tries to annex these regions, and then try to make the argument that any kind of fighting with ukrainian forces in these regions is an attack on russia. so, that is some that they are monitoring very closely. and i am told that if russia does have dynasties regions, that are part of the so-called referendums. the white house is prepared to act with some kind of sanctions, we're not really sure what that is going to look like. but

michelle was the best thing about living in the white house. let me tell you, the pastry chefs delivered delicious pies on request. that is saying something. [laughter] i could not ask for a better life partner and, in my humble opinion, america could not have asked for a better first lady area please give it up for michelle obama. [cheering and applause] mrs. obama: thank you, thank you. [cheering and applause] thank you, everybody. let me thank my husband, first of all, for such spicy remarks. [laughter] and of course, thank you to joe and jill, president biden and first lady jill biden. thank you for inviting us back, this means so much to us. we were saying at lunch that the girls have lived in this house longer than they have lived anywhere. this is as wonderful as it can be, it is a special place because we raised our girls here. it means so much to come back to friends and be able to spend time talking about our girls. i am grateful to both of you for the work you are doing, the love you are showing us, our staff and the work you are doi

carol, see you at white house. thank you very much. >>> coming up, news on the fight against the coronavirus today. new york's governor plans to end the years long mask mandate for mass transit, signaling a shift in the pandemic. this comes as a new round of booster shots is about to be rolled out. my colleague chris jansing spoke to dr. walensky about what the agency has planned for the coming months. >> the latest numbers i saw was 67.5% of the population have two shots. even fewer, less than 50%, have one booster. why do you think the response has not been better? does your agency need a new game plan to get more people to get shots in the arms? >> our data have been crystal clear about the importance of getting vaccinations. we will continue to send that message. we will continue to put vaccine in places that people can access it. right now vaccines are rolling out across this country. we will have 10 million vaccines in over 15,000 pharmacies across the country by the end of the week. 90% of the population wil

let's go to phil mattingly at the white house. phil, while we wait for this event to get underway, give us a sense of what we can expect. >> reporter: you've already seen the former staffers from former president obama filing in. to some degree, a reunion, not just for the staff but also the president and the former president and obviously the president was the former vice-president as well. eight years together serving in the white house, obviously a close relationship, a very deeply personal relationship, one that's had its ups and downs, but there's no question throughout the roller coaster the two have remained friends and remained in contact since president biden took office last year. this will mark the first trip back to the white house for michelle obama since she left office on january -- a tradition, one that has been on a pause, at least for the last decade since george w. bush and laura bush had their portraits unveiled by president obama. president trump decided not to. we don't know why. but both the former president

and that is the white house. they worked right out here in this beautiful park, and they never dreamed it was beyond their comprehension that 230 years later, we would be sitting in this room honoring their work and their legacy and telling their story. and that's our privilege, is the white house historical association, on behalf of the american people to tell these stories, to remember these people. it's not all the daily madison's. it's not all the current former next presidents of the united states. and first ladies. but it's the people who work the melissa and the curators office, the johns in the park service, the others who work in that house, and all levels to to save it, protect it, preserve it, to honor it, and to tell the stories with us of it's rich and abundant history. so that's what we're about here in our mission. that's what we're here about today with this symposium and i'm looking forward to the panels as much as i hope you are. and i want to thank you for joining us today. and it is now my pri

and good morning and welcome to the white house. and thank you to the us postal service and isn't this stamp? just beautiful? you know there really is nothing that can prepare you to be first lady to wake up here steps from the oval office to sit in the jackie kennedy garden and watch the morning light. just climb the monuments of our nation's capital. first ladies aren't elected. we have really no instructions to guide us. we're just sort of thrust into the national spotlight. in a way that i know none of us could have anticipated. yet each day is such a blessing to serve the american people with such an incredible platform. first lady nancy reagan served the american people with grace. she understood that the role of first lady came with inherent pitfalls and scrutiny. yet she found the humanity in it all. she knew the potential of this role. she traveled the country listening to american stories and just brought them home to her husband. she raised attention on issues that she cared about and she spoke bravely about her cancer as

the occasion was an evening at the white house a celebration in honor of the visit to washington of john lynch prime minister of ireland and mrs. nixon's birthday. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> i understand i'm supposed to make a surprise announcement. [laughing] the difficulty is that every time i'm supposed to make a surprise announcement, i find that somali it is leaked before i get to make it. and this seems to be no exception. under the circumstances of course i was wondering whether making an announcement to this very distinguished group of our very close friends from all over the united states to making such an announcement which seen to be rather an anti-climax for this wonderful evening. i discussed it with the prime minister and he's given his permission. and he is one who has had great success that i going to take his advice. he tells me that even though the information may have leaked out, that until i say if it's not official.

we had a big dance at the white house the night. we were selected as white house fellows. he did dance with me. it wasn't that peculiar. there were only three women out of the 16 white house fellows, but as he twirled me around the floor he whispered that he wanted me to be assigned directly to him and the white house when you're a white house value either work one person in the white house staff the others for a cabinet officer. but it was not to be that simple for in the months leading up to my selection like many young people i'd been active in the anti-vietnam war movement while i was at harvard and a friend of mine and i had collaborated on an article which we'd sent into the new republic but heard nothing from them, which was an article against lyndon johnson against the war in vietnam. and suddenly this article appeared in the new republic several days after the dance and the white house with the title how to remove lyndon johnson in 1968. so i was certain he would kick me out of the program but instead surprising. he said oh bring her down here for a year, and if i

he has got the white house. he gave the left what they wanted with trillions in new spending but he has been attacking maga voters. now he is flip-flopping on that, watch this. president biden: i pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide but unify. does not see the red states, blue states, only sees the united states. maga republicans do not respect the constitution. don't believe in the rule of law. i don't consider any trump supporter threat to the country. want to be very clear up front not every republican is a maga republican. people voted for donald trump, they were not voting for attacking the capitol. they were not for overruling a an election. they were voting for a philosophy he put forward. >> he has been very clear he is talking about officeholders, he is talking about elected officials who have these maga, ultramaga republican agendas. elizabeth: okay. there seems to be confusion. i mean i understand what they're saying now but he was very forceful, congressman in the beginning boeing after r

. >> the obamas official white house portraits were unveiled at the white house today. the last presidential portrait unveiling ceremony took place when president barack obama hosted former president george w. bush and former first lady laura bush for the unveiling of their official white house portraits. on may 24th 1978, democratic president jimmy part are held the first presidential portrait unveiling when he invited former republican president gerald ford and former first lady betty ford for the unveiling of their official white house portraits in the east room. the tradition of hosting the most recent former president for a post-portrait unveiling was of course broken during the a broken trump presidency because the most uncouth man ever to occupy the white house refused to invite president obama back to the white house. our next guest was in the room today at the white house with president obama, as he was every day of the obama presidency, creating his own photographic portraits of president obama and first lady michelle obama. joining us now is pete souza, the o

thanks for letting us invite a few friends to the white house. we will try not to tear up the place. [ laughter ] someone -- [ laughter ] someone once said that if you're looking for a friend in washington, get a dog. our family was lucky enough to have two wonderful dogs, but i was even luckier to have a chance to spend eight years working day and night with a man who became a true partner and a true friend. joe, it is now america's good fortune to have you as president. [ applause ] >> you have guided us through some perilous times. you've built on and gone beyond the work we all did together to expand health care, to fight climate change, to advance social justice and to promote economic fairness. thanks to your decency and thanks to your strength. maybe most of all thanks to your faith in our democracy and the american people. the country's better off than when you took office, and we should all be deeply grateful for that, so thank you so much. [ applause ] to all the former obama biden staffers who are here in person, some of you are watchi

finally i want to say a special thanks to the white house staff. we had a chance to see them all before. [ cheers and applause ] you took incredible care of our family for eight years and along the way you became a part of it. and we have not ever forgotten the kindness that you showed us. now, when michelle and i had our portraits unveiled at the national portrait gallery a few years back, i said as far as i could tell, no one in our family tree had ever sat for a portrait before. i had not. now i've done it twice. but these will have a special significance. they will hang alongside other presidents and first ladies dating back to george and martha. so it was important to find the right people to paint them. i want to thank sharon sprung for capturing everything i love about michelle. her grace, her intelligence and the fact that she's fine. [ cheers and applause ] [ laughter ] she is. her portrait is stunning. and i want to thank robert mccarty, for taking on a much more difficult subject and doing a fantastic job with mine.

we're also learning about new links between the white house and a rioter on january 6th. denver riggleman who was an adviser to the january 6th committee is telling cbs "60 minutes." riggleman will join us on "the lead" in a moment. cnn's sara murray who has been tracking all the developments and what we know about the high level contact. >> reporter: as donald trump as and allies made a final push to overturn the 2020 election. >> there's still plenty of time to certify the correct winner. >> reporter: retired army colonel and election conspiracy promoter, phil waldron. >> the core of these voting systems are rife with vulnerabilities. >> reporter: communicated directly with then white house chief of staff mark meadows complaining that an arizona judge dismissed a lawsuit calling for state officials to hand over election equipment. waldron hunting for proof of baseless fraud claims said arizona was our lead domino we were counting on to start the cascade and complained opponents were using delay tactics. pathetic, meadows responded. waldron and his attorneys didn't respo

specific people, why they were talking to the white house. >> reporter: specific white house phone records are kept secret to protect every administration. but in his book "the breach," riggleman wrote he begged the committee to push harder to identify numbers that showed up on the monster. >> that was one of those individuals sadly at the beginning where i was very, very aggressive about these link connections, getting those white house phone numbers. >> did you express those concerns to the committee at the time? >> yes. >> what was the response? >> their response was go forth and just do the best you can with the resources that we have. >> reporter: riggleman requested $3.2 million but only received a fraction of that. his team burrowed into the data. the mother load dropped into their laps, not just phone records but more than 2,000 actual texts to and from mark meadows, former president trump's chief of staff. there were numbers but no names, so riggleman told us his team made a giant spreadsheet painstakingly identifying the people behind each number. and when they did, they were pri

you from the white house. thank you. >> sandra: democrats claim migrants are being lured onto the buses under false pretenses. our reporters at the border are telling a much different story. bill melugin is live in eagle pass to kick things off from there this morning. bill, what are they getting wrong here? >> sandra, good morning. none of these migrants are being lured or forced against their will when it comes to these texas buses. as i talk about these buses we want to show you the live fox drone. we've had another large group of several hundred cross illegally here into eagle pass this morning. back to the texas buses, all of the migrants sign a voluntary consent waiver form. i've seen the form. do they want to go to new york city or washington, d.c.? when they're on those buses along the way they get food, water, get off wherever they want to go. the migrants themselves have said they are excited to make this journey. a lot have family on the east coast and getting a free ride and happy about it. the loc

house reporter so what is on tap today at the white house quick. >> thanks for having me it's ali n day and a busy week for president biden meeting with the world champion atlanta braves winning the world series last year and throughout much of the administration gets to ht at the white house it's a fun and lighthearted event that's an entrance into a more serious week for the white house president biden has enough appearances were he will try to highlight the accomplishments ahead of —- m wi the run-up to the election. >> . >> on tuesday there will be a speech about healthcare cost medicare and social security what we have seenhe over the past few weeks democrats tried to put this over programs like medicare and social security. this is something they see as a political winner with those events throughout the week there is a conference for the first time in a couple of years on hunger and nutrition and health or the white house is rolling out targets to reduce hunger in the us by a drastically the next several decades. >> on the campaign trail where is the president going or wher

house grounds, but it certainly, you know presidents have been planting trees on the white house grounds forever many of them are still there going all the way back to andrew jackson's magnolias that flank the south portico just as a kind of way to promote the place where they come from and to promote the the beauty of the brands of the white house. so there is planning a tree wonderful. so click on the thing and now so yeah, so here. here we go. another tree related photo here. yes. now this is the president and mrs. nixon at their home in san clemente, california, which during this presidency was known as the western white house and this is on the grounds of their home. i have had i've had the great pleasure of actually going to that home when the nixon sold at a very good friend of theirs bought the home and still owns it and occasionally. we'll open it up for events. but also, 32 years ago when i was working on the original nixon library and was out there for some visits the owner gavin herbert and his wife dinetta invited me to come see it. it's just a spectacular place on a high bl

. >> live now to today's white house press briefing. we join it in progress. >> up 121%. so there is a change in the pattern that we've seen most recently but what we're doing what we tend to work with the regional partners to address this new challenge and process individuals as safely orderly and humane way. that is a campaign commitment the president has made and continues to move forward with but you have to remember that not everyone who arrives at the border gets to stay. there is a process in place we've been moving forward with their to hurt us talk about the individual encounters at the border have increased in this year, historically than any other year. dhs continues to expel migrants as required by court order under title 42, and so those who cannot be expelled under title 42 are screened and process to have their claim for relief or by immigration judge, in removal proceedings. so again there's a process that we've been moving forward with more individuals are encountered at the border and moved through and without a legal basis. those without a legal basis t

he said the white house is wrong. joe biden is no fiscal of responsibility. with more new debt a lot of covid relief in there i'll add, biden has done more to add to our deficits than to address them. he can claim the mantel of fiscal responsibility all he wants. the math tells a different story. we've heard so much, senator, about how the deficit has come down. so is that math inaccurate? >> that's the irony of politics. when everything that caused inflation was done by you and then you brag that it's coming down, a lot of it due to the economic laws of gravity, when you look at the economy, just go back to precovid. you talked about it earlier. everything was running on full throttle. with no inflation. raising wages in the toughest spots. now when you have the audacity to hold a celebration, i think they should have been smart enough to have the inflation report hit first before they decided to celebrate. it's all contradictions. i got here, we were $18 trillion in debt. now we're 30. that tells a story. >> martha: thanks, senator. >> you bet. >> martha: w

white house lawyers pat cipollone intervened and warned clark not to communicate with the white house. clark agreed. but just two days later escalated the situation with an email that set off a series of events that would rock the justice department. >> we came in on monday, december 28th, hectic day as they all were and in the afternoon got the email which i had to sit down and read more than once to make sure i understood what he was proposing. >> what was he proposing? >> he was proposing sending out a letter signed by the three of us, the acting attorney general, myself and jeff clark to georgia but also the other states, the other swing states, as well, suggesting essentially that they set aside the electors assigned to support president elect biden and hold hearings and basically have the state legislatures pick a new slate of electors. >> did a letter claim the u.s. department of justice's investigations has quote identified significant concerns that may have impacted the outcome of the election in multiple states including the state of georgia unquote. was that true? >> no. >>

house as the white house continues to pull for their release of wrongful detention from russia. >> one of the reasons he is meeting with the families, he wanted to let them know that they remain front of mind and that his team is working on this every day. making sure that brittany and paul return home safely. one family member was already scheduled to be in town, and the president wanted to meet with both of the families on the same day. >> white house press secretary karine jean-pierre there, and the meeting scheduled for this afternoon does not suggest that a deal is imminent and reiterate to those families that those two in russia are front of mind and the u.s. is working to bring them home. >>> time for the weather and let's go to meteorologist michelle grossman for the forecast. >> how is it looking out there? we have a tropical storm to talk about. >> great to see you on this friday, jonathan. we have fiona to talk about, over the next seven to ten days. this is a big story. the latest on fiona, the latest update at 5:00 a.m., 50 mile-an-hour winds. 200 miles east of the leeward

i was at the white house. happy to have one now but what you say can come back and you can be asked about it and as she said she smild and said i know you would ask me about this. they maintained the 2016 election was stolen not just by president trump but the one in georgia. stacey abrams has never conceded. >> that was in 2018. twitter screen shots are forever. only bad things seem to come out of social media if you are a lawmaker or press secretary. i want -- why is it always peter doocy or jacqui heinrich asking the tough questions of this press secretary? no one else in that room knew that karine jean-pierre is an election denier? she said it. she offers no proof how. it must be condemned. >> bill: the conclusion of your point, dana, it can and will be held against you. >> dana: yes. >> it should. read back somebody's words and have them defend it. she said she knew the question was coming and she still had no lucid response. that's ridiculous. >> bill: she said she was talking about voting rights in geor

last night's speech, but tonight the white house now responding? >> reporter: yes, mary. critics point out how unusual it is to see the president deliver that kind of speech in front of uniformed marines, but the white house says there is nothing abnormal about this. they insist their presence was intended to show the president has a deep respect for the military, mary. >> rachel scott at the white house tonight. rachel, thank you. >>> now to the breaking news in the west at this hour -- a massive wildfire is exploding in size in northern california. the fast-moving mill fire destroying structures. evacuations are now under way. firefighters battling the blaze and extreme heat. here's abc's will carr. >> reporter: tonight, the mill fire is raging in northern california. the entire town of weed, near the oregon border, told to get out immediately. the fire, moving fast. >> i see multiple homes on fire in lincoln heights. there's approximately 200 homes in the line of the fire's direction. the fire will make a run in the subdivision. we're going to n

house and and the rider on that day. >> the white house switchboard had connected to a writer's phone while it was happening and and that's a pretty big moment,. . >> someone in the white house was calling one of the writers well the right was going on? >> on january 6, absolutely. >> and you know who both ends of of that call? >> i only know one end. >> reporter: said the call lasted just 10 seconds, it was asked whether it could've come from the former president. >> i would say it's probably not not probable, but on the other hand, we don't know what those extensions are numbers are. >> reporter: a former house member served as a technical advisor for the committee assessing data and phone records records before leaving in april. april. >> without the advantage of the additional information we've gathered since he left the committee, it poses a real risk to be suspect suggesting things. things. >> that's one of thousands of details that obviously the committee is aware of. >> reporter: in the first public public hearing since july, the january 6 committee on wednesday wednesday is e

so far, we've only heard from the white house. sometimes you can get suspect of that given all of the misinformation out of this white house. do we know if the unions are going to go along with this? all the stocks are trading up as if there is a deal in place. >> my understanding, maria, it those go back to them for a vote but the fact that we got this close to a rail shutdown which would prevent the movement of goods which essentially you've got too much money chasing too few of them, it would drive inflation so whether it is shut down it would have been inflationary, perhaps their solution is inflationary. you go back to the previous administration under president trump, let's remember where we were at 1.4% inflation. that's why people realize take that even though month to month it's up still, it's still tremendously up you from where we were in the last administration. these policies are absolutely incompetent and the fact they got this close to a shutdown just shows more of the same problem. maria: yeah. we also have the bor

house tradition was broken during the trump years, another long white house tradition. but today it returned along with a warm welcome for former president barack obama and former first lady michelle obama. they finally had their official portraits unveiled. >> i want to thank sharon sprung for capturing everything i love about michelle, her grace, her intelligence, and the fact that she's fine. >> see it for yourself coming up next.

someone in the white house was calling one of the rioters while the riot was going on? >> on january 6th, absolutely. >> you know who both ends of that call -- >> i only know one end of that call. i don't know the white house end, which i believe is more important. >> those comments seem to expose tensions between the committee and riggleman, a former republican congressman who like mark meadows was a member of the so-called freedom caucus. jamie raskin confirmed the committee is aware of the call. >> can't say anything specific about that particular call, but we're aware of it. and we're aware of lots of contacts between people in the white house and different people that were involved, obviously, in the coup attempt and the insurrection. >> a statement from a committee spokesperson seemed to downplay riggleman's claims, saying in his role on the select committee staff, mr. riggleman had limited knowledge of the committee's investigation. he departed from the staff in april prior to our hearings and much of our most important investigative work. according to the cnn, t

house peter, they were celebrating their on the lawn of the white house, meanwhile we are watching these stocks plummet. >> peter: right. the inflation report being bad in the morning did not stop the party about inflation in the afternoon. >> president biden: today offers proof that the soul of america is vibrant, the future of america is bright, and the promise of america israel. it is real, it is real, it is real. >> peter: it is real, prices are higher than last year which includes essentials like groceries up 13.5% since august of 2021, and energy builds up 15.8% since august of 2021. the stock market did not react well with the dow shaving off 1,276 points in one day. >> this is an example again i'm just the complete split screen you see in this country between the white house celebrating taking the victory lap down there this afternoon and the american people dealing with the reality. >> peter: this is the split screen he was talking about, folk singer john taylor on the south lawn on the right strumming and singing as the dow, on the left, fell and fell. >> is it disingenuous to

white house 2017-2021" which comes out tomorrow. thanks for joining us tonight. >> thanks for having me. >>> we have much more ahead this hour. following a particularly questionable moment during a trump rally this past weekend we will take a look at how donald trump may be subtly or not so subtly courting followers of the extremist fringe q none conspiracy. but next samantha power one of america's top diplomats joins me live on set as world leaders convene for the first in-person u.n. general assembly in three years. that is next. i wish that shaq was my real life big brother. turns out, some wishes do come true. they'll never know. and it turns out the general is a quality insurance company that's been saving people money for nearly 60 years. for a great low rate, and nearly 60 years of quality coverage- go with the general. do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need? now you can sell your policy - even a term policy - for an immediate cash payment. we thought we had planned carefully for our retirement. but we quickly

the obamas making this rare return to the white house today. you see here, and meditating on the state of american democracy. >> i've always described the presidency as a relay race. each of us tasked with trying to bring the country we love closer to its highest aspirations. >> what we share is so much bigger than what we don't. our democracy is so much stronger than our differences. >> standard language that some are saying hits different right now with so many election deniers running for office. also tonight, the chairman of the senate judiciary committee, dick durbin is here. so we have a lot going on in this hour. we begin though with the nukes. yes. specifically the risk danger and the scandal of a former president hoarding these stolen and top secret documents that are, we're learning now, more and more involving nuclear weapons. there's reporting that the fed seized documents about the nuclear capabilities of foreign nations which they say trump was holding illegally, as well as intelligence about a foreign country's nuclear readiness.

attention looked at slavery in the white house. so 10 different families had brought in slave servants and part of the reason some of them did it was that congress was so tight with the money for running the household and they had to use a lot of their own money. it was just they would bring their own enslaved servants with them to say, you know on the funds so we look in this chapter starting with martha washington and the contributions those early southern first ladies made to systemic racism. and then we get into. you know mary lincoln who has an african freed woman who is her dressmaker and she is giving money to the freed slaves who have come to the dc area and are living hand to mouth and she's taking her own money and supporting them then you get up to eleanor roosevelt. you know who did amazing things and was actually on a hit list by the ku klux klan they had a bounty on her head for what she was doing to promote civil rights and to bring the issue of lynching out lady bird johnson's incredible whistle stop tour after the

white house. what she is doing is she's taking a tour of the white house. she is meeting with the white house staff as many as she can find. thanking them for having made the white house her home. having welcomed her into the people's house over the past two and half years. and it recalls something gerald ford did on his first day in the white house. he commuted from his home in alexandria nixon materials being taken out of residence. he walks up to the north entrance of the white house with the marine guard is standing at attention pretty sticks out his hand to the marine, shakes his hand and said hello i'm gerry ford i'm going to be living here for a while what is your name? they brought with them some and grand rapids they learned on capitol hill played so much importance on people criticizing, for continuing to be a congressman while he was president. but those congressional qualities we often not overlook as they served so well. he was president, also dealing with foreign leaders and others t
