visitation to the white house tripled in their first year there. everyone is carrying out a guidebook, and you can see the pictures of people leaving the house with their guidebooks. and she really had a brilliant vision. if we can go to the next slide please, here's the initial offering of the guidebook when this first was offered for sale there in 1962. i want to point out that the only two women in the room are jacqueline kennedy and the rain wax man pierce, who's the first curator of the white house, also a graduate of the winter program. and so she establish that carriers office, the first curator, who is now a part of the legacy of that. and mrs. spears was essential in helping to offer that first guidebook. in the next slide please. so beyond what she was doing in the white house itself, she really looked outside of this and into the neighborhood and paul touched on this of course in his opening remarks, about the lafayette square. i want to credit kathleen gallup, who wrote a wonderful article in 2006 for the leadership format journal about

many positions in the white house, including the one i held, white house counsel, but also the chief of staff, the staff secretary, would say that, yes, they have an obligation to support and defend the constitution of the united states. but also, part of their job is to reserve the presidents political capital, his reputation, and his power. and that can be manifested in, i think, one of the clearest mistakes i can say this as a reagan alumni, although i wasn't a white house at the time, and that was in the context of john hinckley's shooting, attempted assassination, of president reagan. the one book i would recommend is rawhide down, which is a pretty clear example of what i would call an all-star group of white house staffers, a number of whom are friends of mine, who talk a lot of us about how to run the white house. but they should've implemented the 25th amendment, and they did not. and probably the most clear cut case in my lifetime, i came to washington in 1973 to say 18 months, and i've been here ever since. so, that's one of those cases. conversely, in the white house, the

celebrations kicking off at the white house today. the president's eldest granddaughter is set to walk down the aisle on the south lawn. >> cnn's kate bennett gives us a preview with more. >> reporter: that's right, amara and martin, today is the big day for naomi biden, it's her wedding at the white house. only the 19th wedding at the white house to take place in american history. she is of course, joe biden's oldest granddaughter. she's marrying her boy friend or fiance peter neal on the white house south lawn today at 11:00 a.m., followed by a reception, a small luncheon for just family and the wedding party. later in the evening, guests will come back for dessert and dancing and an evening reception at the white house. it's a very exciting time. not only is it naomi's wedding weekend but it's also president biden's 80th birthday. making him the only octogenarian in the white house in history. i think we'll see pictures later today. everybody looking forward to what is the bride going to wear, what do the flowers look like. what wa

of course that's the job of the white house, right, john? >> john: it is, keep an eye on what people are saying on twitter. we will talk with dave rubin about this, and kevin mccarthy urged the white house to stop picking on elon musk, though i don't think they will. >> sandra: quite a moment. we look forward to you with rubin coming up. >> john: president biden has pledged to keep supplying ukraine with weapons until vladimir putin is defeated but that decision could be having an adverse effect on taiwan, according to the wall street journal, the backlog of weapons bound for taiwan has steadily increased since the war in ukraine began. should the white house reevaluate the amount of aid it's sending to ukraine as the threat of a chinese invasion of taiwan grows. bring in rebecca grant, so john kirby was asked about this yesterday. here is how he took on the question and answered it, listen here. >> what i can tell you is we are constantly balancing as we must our own inventories, the inventories of our allies and partners and people we do c

some of the white house says that the weapons actually cost $40 million. potential railroad strike could cost us as much is $2 billion a day as americans continue to struggle with inflation nationwide. the soreness off flat on nantucket island. lucas what he think with. >> president and ceo of investment john happy things giving welcome back special report. >> happy things given mike. >> prices are up this things given john according to the farm bureau 16-pound turkey is up 21%. a 14-ounce bag a stuffing is up 69%. two frozen pie crust up 26% half-pint of whipping cream is up 26%, a dozen generals about 22% is it safe to say that adds up for people who are working class middle-class and those on fixed incomes? >> clearly says that mike with inflation and tear we have seen some things go down, but food and energy is still a big bulk of inflation and that's hurting a lot of people's pocketbooks especially during the holidays when people want to have a traditional thanksgiving. >> here in washington there's quite a fight over whether we are in a recession or

the white house has been super private about this. they have not released any official photographs yet, but right now as you said the family, the wedding party are going to do a luncheon, just a very small event after the ceremony, and then later this evening the guests will return to the white house for a big black-tie party reception with dessert and dancing. i'm sure it will be sort of a very momentous occasion. this is only the 19th wedding to occur here at the white house. it's certainly a big event for the bidens, but a big weekend. tomorrow is actually president biden's 80th birthday as well. but naomi tying the knot. trisha nixon got married in the rose guard en in 1971. lyndon johnson's daughter, linda, got married in the east room in 1967. her sister before that, lucy, had her reception at the white house as well. so, this is a new venue for them, but again, it's a chilly almost winter-feeling-like wedding for naomi biden today on the south lawn. >> nice. well, happy nuptials and happy birthday to the bidens. kate bennett at

campaigns, sacramento, more campaigns in the white house. less about those a busy formative yearsrs that helped prepare them for the white house and of course nancy's role in all this. >> they really are scraping bottom professionally, financially, and at one point reagan agrees to probably what humiliating professional endeavor of his life he becomes the mc of a floor show in las vegas. but shortly after that this new opportunity to go into television as the host of general electric theater comes along. now mind you this something a few years before that ronald reagan would not have considered why would anybody pay to see somebody in ady theater if they could see him at home for free on television? it was a sign of how desperate they are. in the show takes off. also part of the deal is who travels the country speaking to tens of thousands of general electric employees. doing promotional things for the company. that really is where he discovers his own gift as a politician. the people he has a meeting in the late 1950s are the exact same peo

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

of the white house. i am a bald black woman millennial, i'm not the cookie-cutter washington dc demographic. let's just be honest, no one would suggest that someone else could not cover the story. when you tune into my show that is streaming on peacock, do i tell the truth? do i present a multifaceted story, and i believe the answer is yes. i have republicans on my show, because i don't believe that everyone in america should be a democrat, or everyone should be a progressive. i do think there is something that we should learn and glean republican friends. >> joe, we would like to get your sense of this ecosystem as we talk about patterns and habits that we should be enacting on the journalism side and on the social and civil society side, i actually watch simone's show regularly and i know what she says is right. i also know, -- tuesday morning of the election truman picture p the do we wins -- duey wins photo. i think that trust in institutions have just collapsed. sometimes, trust can be rebuilt by pe

what the white house does have a role in, dealing with tiktok. tiktok is used by 140 million people, americans every month, it's one-third of the u.s. population is on tiktok, the control is so pernicious, they not only track what you do on tiktok, they have it so embedded, they can track every website you go to, every conversation you have, every text message you have, every key stroke on tiktok. not on tiktok, on your phone, when you are not using the app. so you go to the bank and type in your user name and password, the chinese communist party can accept that. an encrypted text message, they can read what you said and they store it. that's what they should be focussed on, not from elon musk. >> sandra: marc, appreciate your time. thank you very much. good to talk with you. hey, john, if we could have our team tee up the sound from mark warner, we had a chat with him top of the last hour, democrat congressman in washington, oh, not have it, ok. ok, we do have it. let's play that out, we asked him about this as well. >> i'm concerned if suddenl

it grinds any white house to a halt. i watched it under obama and also under bill clinton. >> hopefully, president trump had two years of the same oversight. i think there's a balance. there has been a lack of oversight in my view this past two years. we have seldom called in -- the senate side has been different. there's a place for oversight. i would remind, this is the oversight committee. there's nine other committees that will be focused on these other priorities we have. i think it is incumbent upon kevin mccarthy that he stresses not just oversight, but we have to take care of the breakfast tables of inflation and energy independence. >> congressman gottheimer, what about that committee's work and the aggressive language that we are hearing from marjorie taylor greene who will now not only have a seat at the table, but she's fighting for committee chair? is that going to make it harder for the bipartisan problem solvers to get work done if that's what is coming out of the republican majority? >> to don's point, yo

we were just told that the white house will keep an eye on twitter. they're concerned about the new twitter 2.0 that elon musk is putting in where he wants more free speech on twitter. they'll keep an eye on twitter and a hands off approach -- there's no communication with tim cook at apple about this process in china with the chinese government? >> i'm not aware there's any conversations specifically with apple on this particular issue. it's a private company. as for twitter, martha, these are apples and oranges. we're talking about potential foreign investment issues and nothing to report in terms of investigations with that record. this is a different issue. this is a policy issue inside of apple. >> martha: they both involve foreign governments, i would argue. we can circle back around on that. one more question here and we'll get to this later as well. elon musk has just said that -- by the way, i just want to point out that elon musk helped protesters in iran and in ukraine by getting star link working. he's did the opposite of what tim cook is

sandra. >> sandra: a live look at the white house where we are expecting the white house press briefing to take place any moment now, john, we have peter doocy in that room, obviously, who is hopefully going to have a chance to ask questions along with other reporters in that room. but there are a lot of newsy items that could be brought up in the white house briefing, john kirby also expected to join the press secretary. >> john: the fact that kirby is coming suggests there is some international business to deal with, but a lot of domestic business to deal with as well. should we listen to what she has to say? >> sandra: usually starts with some housekeeping items. obviously the decision for the united states to allow chevron to expand energy operations in venezuela is a top item that a lot of reporters will likely want to know more about the white house decision to take in more oil from other countries, john, rather than upping our production here at home. >> john: you know, and one of the other things they have to deal with is the looming rail strike, and we were talking about jay fo

the white house calls it a publicity stunt. it's not a publicity stunt, they're final leadership standing up no for our borders which is what the democrats should have been doing for the last two years. so my question to you the is should mayorkas step down? we just heard from christina that he doesn't plan on it. >> look, i think actually secretary mayorkas is doing exactl law, to power as many people into this country as possible. that's why the white house is standing behind him 100%. they tried to have a few scapegoats out there, the person in charge of the border patrol this is on mayorkas but really on biden and harris. so i do think when republicans take control they will have field hearings and i want the president to enforce the law. it is against the law for anybody to cross the border, except at a port of entry. every single one of those people could, should, be arrested and be prosecuted for crossing the border where it's not allowed. but they don't do that ever, let alone deport them or secure the border. >> julie:

i don't think the white house is idle chatter here. it is meant to menace and show you that one, we're about to find out, i think, with the revelation of the hunter biden laptop suppression from within twitter it was bright red line violation of the first amendment stuff this white house was engaged in. there was collusion on the issue of suppressing the hunter biden laptop and the issue of suppressing covid dissent which turned out to be true, by the way, on a range of issues. they will be in a rough place and brute force from the government will be a tool they try to rely on to stop the truth from getting out about what happened inside of twitter and what will be the future of the internet. >> elon musk tweeted a picture that was so scandalous. diet coke on the night stand and a pair of prop guns were enough to make twitter go crazy. one person said how shocking. richest man on the earth is a trailer park simpleton. jonathan turley saying elon musk triggers liberal sending them into wartime footing over free speech. elon is having fu

fauci on this last day as he leaves the white house and the white house podium and that team. first of all, 30,000 feet to both of you, dr. siegel first, what do you think anthony fauci's legacy will be? >> well, i think peter doocy set it up nicely already, which is the issue is that he reversed himself a lot. that he didn't have a consistent policy. that he basically was very slow to consider the collateral damage done by lockdowns and shutdowns and we are seeing that now. not just in terms of schools and learning problems but also in terms of emerging viruses, immune systems that are paused. we are seeing a big outbreak of rsv and flu. he never set a consistent policy of what the damage would be. bret, the other point is, and this came up at the press conference today is i'm not satisfied on the covid origins thing. because i interviewed dr. redfield on this who has a lot of top secret information and they have never really put to bed the issue of lab origins at all. and dr. fauci has been very rigid on the lab origins issues which bother please a lot because he supported a
