house white house years. he was a new jersey native, but he was raised in new york. he was the governor of new york. after he left the white house for the second and final time, how did the family decide how they're where they're going to live. >> well the story that's kind of interesting, is that she said that because they couldn't go out and look for property on their own they had agents going out and looking for them. finally the story is that they both came down for breakfast and one of them said to the other, i have an idea about where we should look, the other one said yes i do too. then the electorally both at the same times at princeton. so cleveland contacted the president of princeton university, they found the property they purchased. >> what was their life like there? >> it was probably the best from the time they got married. they were a real family unit, they got very active in princeton university. as i mentioned earlier frances cotton vault in the growing number of women who graduated from col

that he wants to make another run for the white house. and it is really nancy who is telling him you've got to do this? this is your moment. when they arrive in washington you talk about describe them as if he were teflon. she's velcro. and given the fact that she learned lessons in sacramento and had gone through a rough period and then found a way to get involved in issues and rehabilitate yourself. why did she have such a difficult time in washington dc? why did the lessons not transfer? this is the great conundrum about nancy reagan. she is. so skillful, so shrewd so attuned. to her husband's image and yet she is just absolutely clueless when it comes to her own. and so they get to washington. united states is in the middle of what would become the worst recession since the great depression. and nancy reagan decides that this is the moment to collect a lot of private donations to refurbish the white house and to to buy a very expensive new set of thousand dollar a place setting white house china and they announced it on the very day t

michelle obama moved into the white house four years after president lyndon b. johnson shepherded the civil rights act of 1964 to law. seven different predecessors had moved into the executive residence with its slave servants. next on the presidency. a look at how first ladies from martha washington, to michelle obama, interacted with the racial politics of their times. and the long history dating back to abigail adams of their efforts to promote civil rights for all. the national archives foundation hosted this event and provided the video. let's jump right in. we've got a lot to hear about an important topic of first ladies, but also something that we don't talk a lot about which is the role in engaging around civil rights and injustice issues. so let me talk a little about who our speakers are today and we will jump right in. an executive in residence in american university at washington d.c.. she directs the first lady initiative. she snow to many of you as she was the second term chief of staff or laura bush. she served in the white house and the departmen

today -- how is the white house tracking vaccinations, beyond, for the folks, how is the white house tracking who is and who is not vaccinated? jen: what the guidance provided was information so people could take steps to attack themselves, -- protect themselves, either to get vaccinated, which every american over the age of 12 is eligible, or to mask up if they are not yet vaccinated. so the steps we are taking. that means every individual in the white house, members of the press corps, can do exactly that. either get vaccinated or wear a mask. the honor system is really about, i don't even like that term because i think it's confusing. i don't think you are intending to do that, but the real question is how do people who are not yet vaccinated protect themselves? because people who are vaccinated, what the cdc guidance is saying is that if you are vaccinated, you are protected. if you are not vaccinated, the guidance is you should wear a mask. reporter: you are not going to verified this individual -- verify this individual -- i am not wearing a mask. i just want to clarify. a quic

the news coming amid intense pressure by the white house. it's unclear when exactly the truce will take effect. this hour we'll be speaking to come bad veteran and iowa republican senator joni ernst on this major development. welcome. i'm charles payne in for neil cavuto. for to trey yingst with the very latest. trey? >> breaking tonight, the israeli security cabinet has approved a cease fire deal with hamas, the group in control of gaza. basically ending 11 straight days of fighting. we're getting reports right now according to israeli media this is set to go into place and into effect around 2:00 a.m. local time. there are no preconditions. this is significant. we spoke earlier today with hamas who said there would have to be preconditions in order to stop the fire. after the reports started to circulate that the israelis were on board with the cease fire agreement after a week of being urged by the united states and also the united nations to stop this fighting, we are not really sure if it's going to hold. one example of that is off in t

so is the biden white house trying to have it both ways? they're still against building nord stream 2, which would put the russians in control of europe's oil supply. at the same time, they're lefting sanctions against putin's crony who happens to be in charge of the pipeline company. so this release for russia came as the secretary of state blinken sat down with his russian counterpart, sergey lavrov. rick perry calls this the most pro russian move by a sitting president this modern history. let's start with lynn allen, a laid off keystone pipeline worker. lynn, good to have you back again. thanks for being here. what is your reaction to what the biden administration is doing here? they're making it easier for this pipeline project to go through by lifting sanctions against its owner. >> all it's doing is tearing down america and not putting -- they're not taking care of the person pipeline workers. all we want to do is work and have a job. to be able to prosper our families. i'm telling you, they have hamstringed us. i was on the keystone

the white house has come down in their number a little bit, it is still astronomically high. republicans want to focus on traditional infrastructure, which i think makes sense. maybe they will get a little bit closer. i'm currently, based on what i'm seeing, what i'm hearing, i'm more inclined to believe this is going to be a partisan exercise by the democrats to sort of ram it through because the parties are so far apart. the one potential opportunity though, four senators, two from each party, put together a bipartisan bill on service infrastructure, roads and bridges and that sort of thing for $303 billion. if they go at this on a piecemeal basis, then perhaps there's more room, more wiggle room for bipartisanship but i think the white house wants something big. >> chris: julie, i've got less than a minute, how do you think this infrastructure story ends? >> i think unless there's a significant shift in the dynamics this week, we are either going to go down a purely partisan route where a big package gets passed only on democratic votes or is there a potential opportunity

i needed the white house with that. but i'll add just a little bit because i've answered your question that it was there was nothing not not an iota of truth to their portrayal in the crown. but um, there was a sort of a dramatic event during the dance bob mcnamara linda remembers this bob mcnamara then secretary of defense was twirling around the room christine ford wife of henry ford. it was a beautiful actually gorgeous woman low-cut white gown and and as he was twirling her around she had a wardrobe malfunction and people oh, but you know corrected it right quickly, but you can imagine that was a bitter of the evening. later dinner. i was not seated at the table with the president, but she wasn't of course and there was kurt douglas and happy rockefeller, but the summary answer was none of that portrayed in the crown was accurate. well, let me just add that. quite a few of the social aids dancing with mrs. ford and it's all i saved her. i pulled, you know help with up so but i mean it has been a story over 50 years

in republicans to the white house. where does this leave everything, to your bigger point and leigh ann's reporting? the white house, president biden, they're going to keep on pushing forward to try and reach something. no one is indicating talks are over, that the conversations have ended. there are no specific ones on the table. you mentioned the police reform bill. that seems to maybe have the most traction on the hill. i know your and leigh ann's sources might have different feedback. that's the white house's perspective, it could get passed. that also has not gotten passed with the speed the white house is getting to. this president running into the problems so many of his predecessors have found themselves in trying to get things done with a congress that can't work together. it predates biden and it is an obstacle he is running into quickly in his term as well. >> i don't disagree with you about police reform. the longer it drags out, the more questions about whether they can get anywhere. lewis, to the question

the white house, at one point, $1.7 trillion. can they come closer or will republicans hold firm to their plan? guest: what i am hearing is that a final number could probably be a $1.3 trillion package, $1.5 trillion package, and that is if there is some wiggle room on the part of the white house on the corporate tax rate proposal. perhaps they don't go all the way to 28%, 25%, or something like that. that is something the white house says they are willing to negotiate. also, if the white house is able to compromise or maybe scaled down what the republicans call this human infrastructure component of their package, that will facilitate movement on the negotiations. again, for emphasis, republicans do want to get an in fish -- infrastructure package done. this is why they move the ball on their side to a $1 trillion deal. if they can reach agreement on how to pay for it, if they address the fuel tax within the highway trust fund that pays for our surface transportation programs nationwide, some sort of agreement on climate change

the white house are taking the other angel. they believe this reinforces the need for their big government spending, big government project. the people who will be able to rejoin the workforce with some help. one example, child care. thy believe as part of their plan, second part of this big sweeping program, you know, they added child care benefits. that would allow working parents to have their children receive adequate child care and, therefore, go back to work. right now, if they can't afford child care, certainly obviously if the virus made it that unsafe, they would have to keep their children home and unable to return to the workforce. this is going to be a fascinating situation and it's not clear cut. this is why the white house says they are willing to negotiate. they would like to take ideas from republicans. they are not married to the final overall number. we could see it shrink a little bit and the president said he's willing to come down a little bit from his proposed tax hike on high earning americans and big cor

she became so identified with the white house and how to run the white house and how to present the white house that she was someone that several subsequent first ladies. consulted sure. and our last question because this has come up in a number of programs. so should we talk about the presidential libraries first ladies materials? so before the national archives and i i might challenge i'd say before the presidential libraries where where does one find first lady the actual primary source materials. well my library to give ohio in can't know ohio is gaining more actual research materials. it's a relatively new institution. and i think there is definitely a push to acquire more document holdings there. unfortunately some of the early first ladies, you know, their papers have been scattered hither hither and yawn some were sold, you know at auction to private holders, so i'm going to turn that back around on the national archives and say time there is a garage sale of first ladies documents out there patrick. you need to be first in line. i'll have to talk to the arguments the united. it's

where is the leadership from the white house? i keep asking that question on a lot of issues this hour because there are a lot of issues that that question needs to be asked about. many are wondering if we could see a full scale war there. general jack keane is in "the faulkner focus" on the middle east. stay close. veteran homeowners, this is the best time in history to turn your home equity into cash. because home values have climbed to all time highs. and so has your equity. turn it into cash now, while mortgage rates are near all time lows. the newday 100 va cash out loan lets you borrow up to 100% of your home's value. you could take out more than $50,000. use it to improve your home. pay off high rate debt. pay for big expenses. or put it in the bank for real peace of mind. now's the time to use your va home loan benefit to get cash before mortgage rates begin to rise. call now. your heart is at the heart of everything you do. and if you have heart failure, there's a medicine specifically made for heart failure entresto. it

how is the white house tracking who is and who is not vaccinated? jen: what the guidance provided was information so people could take steps to attack themselves, either to get vaccinated, which every american over the age of 12 is eligible, or to mask up if they are not yet vaccinated. that means every individual in the white house, members of the press corps, can do exactly that . either get vaccinated or wear our mask. the honor system is -- i don't even like that term because i think it's confusing. i don't think you are intending to do that, but the real question is how do people who are not yet vaccinated protect themselves? what the cdc guidance is saying is that if you are vaccinated, you are protected. if you are not vaccinated, the guidances you should wear a mask. reporter: you are not going to verify -- i am not wearing a mask -- a quick follow-up on the budget proposal coming up. there were a couple of things that were very progressive ideas . you touched on this a little bit earlier. can i get clarification, a message to progressives w

and so you're at the white house yesterday. and they had to move around and chain -- added a press conference for the president. and so i think what we're hearing on whether or not we're turning a corner soon is that they're hoping the numbers stay down. and they are really congress any antioxidant that the -- cognizant that the people don't have to wear masks inside, outside may lead to people getting vaccinated. there was no incentive a lot of people say for people to get vaccinated if they had to do the exact same thing they were doing. so they're hoping that that is going to happen. but i've talked to some health experts and they're not completely sure because there's that 30% of white evangelicals and republicans wh say they're never going to get vaccinated. so the white house has a lot -- the administration have a lot of work to do to get those people to sign on and actually get vaccinated even as we start seeing like life -- us being in the studio. yamiche: yeah. well, eugene, kasie, hitting on a key point that there are

we'll keep an eye on that door there at the white house. meanwhile, it has been a 126 days since the january 6th insurrection. cheney booted for speaking out against the big lie pushed by the former president. this is what congresswoman cheney said after that vote. >> we must go forward based on truth. we cannot both embrace the big lie and embrace the constitution. we cannot be dragged backward by the very dangerous lies of a former president. >> meanwhile, seconds ago some breaking news. we now know when republicans will be voting on cheney's replacement. we're also following a big development with this pandemic that's on the horizon today. this hour cdc panel meeting about green lighting pfizer's faction vaccine for children ages 12 to 14. on the hill this hour, hearings on domestic violent extremism on the insurrection, on this pandemic, and on climate change. all of that happening right now. so stick with us. let's start with that big reshuffling in the house. something that politico is calling "sacrificing wyoming congresswoman liz ch

johnson's recorded white house diaries. well, let's jump right in we've got a lot to hear about important topic a first layers, but also something we don't really talk a lot about which is the role in engaging around civil rights and justice issues. so, let me talk to you a little bit about who our speakers are today and we're going to jump right in anita mcbride is an executive in residence in america university in washington dc. she directs the first ladies initiative. she's known to many of you because she was the second term chief of staff or laura bush. she served in the white house and the department of state for george w bush. she's also served in the administration of george hw bush and ronald reagan and is the founding member of the first lady's association for research and education also known as flare our second speaker today nancy keegan smith is the flare vice president. she was an archivist at the national archives and records administration starting at the lbj presidential library. museum and then work that t

and so what eartha kitt does when she comes to the white house and this is a white house lunch and that's focused on crime the crime bill that lyndon johnson has just announced the night before at the state of the union address now, we're moving into a political election season and linda has and as you say and now that he's not going to run again yet, but the the law and order backlash is rising and we hear people like richard nixon and george wallace pushing on the johnson administration to take a stronger stand on this thing called law and order so fighting crime, which is one way of that. this issue was discussed is the theme of the luncheon and eartha kitt is invited by the white house to attend because she has been an activist for civil rights, but also in watson los angeles and in anacostia and washington dc to try to do what we would think of as like basic youth empowerment how to empower local kids to feel that. they actually have an opportunity and possibility and so she's putting her her wealth behind dance classes and training programs and she's testified before congress about

we will see where it takes us . >> as the white house made us ask of the white house government. >> i don't have anythingto preview for you . >> the president said yesterday i think in the specificlanguage was that distinctions , if the sanctions are placed as the white house for this administration made any decisions about possible sanctions against belarus . >> the president as we said yesterday as well past his team to look into it and come up with kind of a menu of options of how to move forward. we don't have anything yet to read out on that. >> following up on the tragedy, in san jose california yousaid the president is doing broadly in an effort and what he's been pushing congress , are there any lawmakers he's reaching up to? what is he doing in terms of that effort now to try and push this along given the greatfrustrations that it appears that he brought on gun reform . >> as you know as i laid out the president made some historic proposals, plans of his doj just about a month and a halfago . which is the most, which is kind of historic when you think about how what president

kristin fisher at the white house. joining me katie pavlich and will cain, host of the will cain podcast and fox news contributors. great to have you with us today. i want to start with your reaction to what you just watched. katie, let's begin with you. president biden talking about his plan to rescue families in america and create jobs, backing up his tax plan and the spending which he says will be all paid for, katie. >> well, first, the excuse from president biden that we're already in the hole by a couple trillion dollars justifies spending an additional $6 trillion, that's not a justification for going down this path when we are seeing inflation and inflation is a tax on the middle class and poor communities. that's something that joe biden promised he wouldn't do. the bottom line, he makes this argument that the top percentages of the people that pay the taxes in this country already are going to be the ones bearing the burdens here. that doesn't mean ceos, flying on private jets as he tried to argue. it means b

that he wants to make another run for the white house. and it is really nancy who is telling him you've got to do this? this is your moment. when they arrive in washington you talk about describe them as if he were teflon. she's velcro. and given the fact that she learned lessons in sacramento and had gone through a rough period and then found a way to get involved in issues and rehabilitate yourself. why did she have such a difficult time in washington dc? why did the lessons not transfer? this is the great conundrum about nancy reagan. full so shrewd so attuned to her husband's image and yet she is just absolutely clueless when it comes to her own. and so they get to washington. united states is in the middle of what would become the worst recession since the great depression. and nancy reagan decides that this is the moment to collect a lot of private donations to refurbish the white house and to to buy a very expensive new set of thousand dollar a place setting white house china and they announced it on the very day. that the reagan a

just give us such a great kind of white house. i view of what's going on in the public and private sphere. they just expand the realm of knowledge. we have about politics and the founding era and such a big way and when i think about presidential history is kind of genre. i always remember that if there's no women in the story that you're writing you're missing half the history, so it's really important to kind of bring in those voices all the time. and i will say that every first lady had relationships with other people certainly the presidents but also advisors also friends also servants and some cases enslaved people. and i think it's really important when we look and study relations of power that remember that we remember everyone who was there in the white house everyone. who is there shaping their lives and whose lives they shake? and i think that's how we get a fuller story about who these women work and who we are as a country. and so i think that this will just be an important. type of enterprise to go forward is just to

we're going to let you see and hear as it would in the white house now. we're going to appear in a special uniform that is only worn only there. it is scarlet in color, black and gold braids. the music we are going to play is played when the president appears. it starts with some flourishes and then of course hail to the chief. hail to the chief is a song that first became popular in this country around 1812. we don't know when it was first used for the president but in john philip sousa's autobiography, he speaks of the fact that that the number had been used since time immemorial to announce the arrival of the president. we're going to play in the white house uniform before ruffle and flourishes and hail to the chief as you would hear them at the white house for the arrival of the president. ♪ it is too bad we could not have had the president of the united states here personally to complete the scene. that is the way the marine band sounds when it announces the presence of the chief executive. i said a little while ago that the marine band was formed

they arrive at the white house to mark this grim anniversary tomorrow. talk about how that has come along over the past few months. >> well, president biden has really been in touch with his family multiple times. and they are familiar with the fact he wants to see justice. and those terrified of please. and tomorrow, we're going see if a number of floyd family members. three of his brothers, a sister, he will have his daughter there, gianna floyd who infamously told the president, my daddy is going to change the world. and her father's name is synonymous with the change. the racial reckoning we went through, the guilty verdict for his murder. but african-american families are still so terrified of the police. and that is the staaled agenda, the idea that president biden wanted to see something signed on may 25th. not going to happen. he is in contact with congressional leaders. but there are issues to work out. whether or not you can sue an individual officer. there are other things that are tied -- president biden has put equity at the center of this.

and so what eartha kitt does when she comes to the white house, and this is a white house lunch and that's focused on crime the crime bill that lyndon johnson has just announced the night before at the state of the union address now, we're moving into a political election season and lynda has an as you say and announced that he's not going to run again yet, but the the law and order backlash is rising and we hear people like richard nixon and george wallace pushing on the johnson administration to take a stronger stand on this thing called law & order. so fighting crime, which is one way of that. this issue was discussed is the theme of the luncheon and eartha kitt is invited by the white house to attend because she has been an activist for civil rights, but also in watson los angeles and in anacostia and washington dc to try to do what we would think of as like basic youth empowerment how to empower local kids to feel that. they actually have an opportunity and possibility and so she's putting her her wealth behind dance classes and training programs and she's testified before congress ab

i've got to tell you, the white house is in sales mode. they are trying to pass a $4 trillion, an addition to the other trillions of dollars, bill and soper biden to be out there with the visual, even though he's outside, he was at a cemetery, still wearing a mask! that's part of the signaling that the white house does to say, because we have a crisis we have to pass trillions of dollars of more spending. that is what lies underneath this. they've not been driven by science and andrew cuomo will evidently open up new york on wednesday, but in california, that's not good enough. we will do this in june. it makes no sense. >> "the new york post" editorial board came out and wrote "insisting on a masks, despite the science is just partisan posturing gone mad." your thoughts? >> there is nothing that changed in the last week, month or year. governors are confused because they think this is all politics. the biden administration is having a horrible time right now. they had a horrible job. they realized if they don't get things open it's going

the white house. she was so passionate about art that she even proposed the edition of a new wing on the white house to house an art gallery. unfortunately this never happened, but i think it's so interesting to imagine what it would be like if an entire wing of the white house was a gallery next slide. now in particular mrs. harrison loved watercolors china paintings and florals. she even helped to design the harrison white house china service this photograph shows a tea set painted by mrs. harrison featuring orchids, which were her favorite flower mrs. harrison would often go to the white house conservatory a large indoor garden where orchids were grown and get her inspiration while sitting and enjoying the flowers next slide. now here you can see a mahogany box which held mrs. harrison's watercolor supplies. it's in the collection of the benjamin harrison presidential site. and on the right is a sketch of her proposed white house expansion as you can see, it's quite palatial and it was too expensiv
