to be a deputy in the white house. certainly in a white house press office because the hours are insane and the work load is pretty crazy. >> roughly what time would you come in in the morning? did you come in for senior staff around -- >> well before. so i would wake up at 4:00 and dana especially -- when dana was the principal deputy, then when she was press secretary, she and i were on e-mail with each other at 4:30 4:45 in the morning every day. i would haveçó four a and b sections of newspapers read before i would get to the white house at 5:30 in the morning. i'd pull up to the starbucks on pennsylvania avenue and they would have two coffees waiting for me. a quad espresso and a grande dark. i would be in the white house by 5:00. the national security meeting was at 6:30. press office meeting at 7:15. senior staff ató[ 7:30. xhung communications meeting at 8:00. and then in the ear k days we were getting ready for the gaggle at that point. we ended up getting rid of the gaggle. >> gaggle was a more informal gr

house was when is i smoked when i first went to the white house. and a bunch from the press office went to these decided to join this class called smoke enders. and we went. i think it's eight weeks or so. and i stopped smoking. so but seriously my best day in the white house clearly was when i had to stand up and announce the end of the vietnam war. and i had as i say as an nbc correspondent had covered the war. i did five tours there as a correspondent. got wounded almost died. and then i'm the one who had to go over into the old executive office building and read this statement from the president saying for us the war is over. and i've got an old fashioned ca set tape of that at home. my voice is about five octaves higher than normal, very quavery because of what vietnam had meant in my life and here i'm the one who has to stand up and announce the end of the war. >> did you want to cry? >> yes. >> did you cry? >> not in public but in privatedy. >> how about you marlin? what was your best day? i'm thinking the 25th anniversary of the fall of the

that is really, really old to be a deputy in the white house. in the white house press office. yet hours are insane and the workload is crazy. >> what time would you go in the morning? >> i would wake up at 4:00 and dana, when she was the principal deputy and press secretary, she and i would e-mail each other at 4:00 in the morning or 4:30 in the morning. i would have four sections of newspapers friend before i even got to the white house at 5:30 in the morning. i would pull up to starbucks on pennsylvania avenue and have two copies waiting for me. an espresso and the grande dark. the national security meeting with that 6:30 the press conference and meeting at 7:15. senior staff at 7:30. the communications meeting at 8:00. in the early days, we were getting ready guy cold. -- gag hold. >> you were there from 5:30 until 6:00 because it had to be live on the air. the broadcaster and cable, talk radio, all of the needed information currently that morning. that is the glamorous part of the white house. you have to get up at 4:00 every morning. >> the irony is that when i was recrui

that is really, really old to be a deputy in the white house. in the white house press office. the hours are insane and the workload is crazy. >> what time would you go in the morning? >> i would wake up at 4:00. dana, she was the principal deputy and press secretary, she and i would e-mail each other at 4:00 in the morning or 4:30 in the morning. i would have four sections of newspapers read before i even got to the white house at 5:30 in the morning. i would pull up to starbucks on pennsylvania avenue and have two coffees waiting for me. an espresso and the grande dark. the national security meeting at 6:30, the press conference meeting at 7:15. senior staff at 7:30. communications meeting at 8:00. in the early days, we were getting ready for the gag hold. >> you were there from 5:30 until 6:00 because it had to be live on the air. >> early tv cable. >> the broadcaster and cable talk radio, all of the needed information currently that morning. that is the glamorous part of the white house. you have to get up at 4:00 every morning. >> the irony is that when i was recruited --

i'm live outside the white house, molette green. back to you. >>> likely a lot more to come on that later on throughout the day. >> and this just into the newsroom. county schools has canceled the professional day it had for teachers. so that proves al dayfessl canceled these a live pictures of rockville. the rain has turned over to snow and the snow is picking up. >> it looks like it will stay that way for a while? >> if newgood news, it isn't really sticking to the roads or sidewalks because pavement temperatures are above freezing and so are the air temperatures. that has been a gift for the morning commute. but that wet snow pretty much melting on most roads. and the area in green on radar, that is rain. you can see there is a lot of rain. that is falling in virginia and southern marylanr partrlower part of the eastern shore. but it changes over to snow when it gets closer to the metro area. there is the battle line. laurel up toward montgomery county line and from there, west it is snow. and it's snowing across northern fairfax

white house. >> believe me, you're always part of the white house. it was the day that the affordable care act was signed into law. it's hard to describe. those of us in the democratic party far long time i was on capitol hill in the clinton administration, working for a member of the senate finance committee, when we tried to get health care passed in 1993-1994. i worked with senator bill bradley when he put out a comprehensive, very good plan for overall health reform that of course he didn't get leblingted, that didn't happen. that moment of actually getting it done after presidents had tried to do it for 70 years, it's really hard to describe. so as many mistakes as we made and i made in terms of that law that was without a doubt the most moving moment. >> let us open the microphones to your questions. i know we are limited on time, so if you can introduce yourself and address if you want to ask one or the other of your panelists here. we will try to make the answers as succinct to get to as many questions as possible. >> hello, my name is eric a

house if we could confront the white house we could win. we went through the same thing in 95. he made the calculation that he could fight internally but at some point this minority in his caucus was going to insist they have the opportunity to win the war. so he made a calculation and the analogy that was used back then if he had a group of members determined they wouldn't get burned if they touch the stove and he made a calculation i would rather have him touch the stove earlier rather than later. better october of 2013 and in june of 2014. and it was intentional on his part and it was a disaster politically. they were saved to some degree because of the problems of the rollout and so the country kind of moved on but if you talk to the leadership now i didn't talk to most of the members that were advocating for it they realized it was not successful and politically they dodged a bullet because of other issues that came about there after. so the consensus and the ability for the leaders to lead and develop a consensus can sometimes take a

the white house o -- the white house is the only one who didn't think it was important to go on saturday. it's almost as though the white house, you know, isn't listening to the rest are of us are. >> i think in terms of labeling, the white house has challenges in terms of having to conduct diplomacy. >> why? there is radical islam and islam. talk to the radical islam don't talk. they are trying to kill us. >> i heard senator rand paul give a speech yesterday. he was asked specifically about that the distinction he sees is between civilized and barbaric islam. it uses justification. but, again not giving credence to it. not lending credence to it. other politicians would make other choices in terms of the labeling. they made -- they recognize that the weekend not recognizing how big the paris event was was a mistake. which is pretty extraordinary to have any white house acknowledge that so i think that piece of it is little bit separate from. this i don't think that if they had hudenly labeled that differently that would have forced their hands to send one to paris. >> any way it validat

he was the chef to the white house. not the pastry chef. a chef in the white house. that is his gingerbread house and through the years, it has morphed considerably. and a pastry chef said, a pastry chef will create the gingerbread house. >> this is 2009? >> it has electricity now. [laughter] and water and ice skaters this year. >> incredible. remarkable. >> they work from architectural plans to get everything correct, the proportions and everything and each year, the chefs try to update it. there is about 400 pounds of gingerbread and icing. that is on a base there that is on a table in the state dining room and to carry it in, it takes eight people and taken -- and it has to be taken from the pastry shop which is a temporary facility, actually where the china is kept. they need a big area. it is very ceremoniously taken out, loaded on a truck and driven two miles an hour to the north portico, where it is taken off the truck and placed on the state dining room table, the end table, i should say, and it stays there through the entire christmas season and at the end o

house at today's white house briefing. here's what he had to say. >> some have asked whether or not the united states should have sent someone with a higher profile than the ambassador to france and i think it's fair to say that we should have sent someone with a higher profile to be there. that said there is no doubt that the american people and this administration stand four-square behind our allies in france. >> reporter: josh earnest went on to say that the security factors in planning a presidential trip within 36 hours' notice to paris would have been a daunting challenge in that that was part of the reason for the white house decision but i just talked to a secret service official within the last several minutes who said that the agency was never contacted or asked about a presidential trip last week so if the white house was thinking through the security options of sending the president to paris, they did not contact the secret service according to the secret service and according to a secret service spokesman who

what's the white house game here? >> i don't know. i don't think they're trying to set up 2016 because if they are they're making a mistake. i think this is all about his legacy. i think president obama sees himself almost like tr did where he set up 20 years of progressive change in the country. he is looking long view. for 2016, if you ask smart democrats, including people working very closely with hillary clinton, they're worried what the president did with his very muscular very non-bending state of the union address is put her in a box, that she will be forced to let quicker and harder than she would like to be to be elected in a general election. >> liz, the white house pointed out, there is good economic news growth is up unemployment is down gas prices are way down and in a new pole, washington post poll this week the president's approval rating back up to 50% which is tremendous for him after where he's been. what about the argument the white house makes he enters this debate this confrontation with congress with some of the

republican to the white house for social events. every tuesday evening we had 30 or so of those folks just to get to know everybody as little bit. we had a candlelight dinner for chairman and leadership in almost 200 people in march of 2009, so they could get to the know each other that's -- so they could get to know each other a little bit. we put together lunches with a chair and a ranking member in the president's own dining room. i used to keep metrics. by march, more than 80% of senate rubber goods had been to the white house for policy or social event with the president. every house republican and democrat had been there or had been invited. some things were not in our control. we had our first state dinner. we invited the republic of leadership. they decided not to come. we had our second state dinner, they decided not to come. you cannot force people to come. are you can do is invite them. i thought dan made the point before when he talked about house speaker boehner was dealing with his caucus last year and there were peopl

upstairs of the white house. in september, a man was able to step on to an elevator with president obama. during the president's trip to the cdc in atlanta. that man on the elevator was not cleared to be there. he did have a loaded gun on him at the time, while he was riding the elevator with the president. that same month, a man wielding a knife ran across the lawn and made it into the east room birdie he was tackled by a secret service agent. since all of those have been brought to light, the secret service chief has resigned. the top executives have been fired. the secret was so and white house security have been reviewed bay top level government panel. now we have the drunken drone thing. which by all accounts was a relatively harmless accident. what if it had been carrying a payload of some kind. what if it had been carrying explosives, god forbid? the white house has antiaircraft missiles. the white house is protected by radar that monitors the air space around the white house. but the drone is very little.

according to her white house biography. poor kate chase sprague never got a white house biography as mary lincoln and harriet lane did, even though she spent most of her adulthood discouraging her father from any remarriage and encouraging him to run for president. kate and her sister nette were two of the seven women and the many hundred men who attended lincoln's white house funeral while mary lincoln pleaded she was too ill to attend. later that year kate gave birth to her first child, a son, and she and sprague had three additional children, three daughters over the next ten years. she revived her father's hopes for the presidency as he campaigned from the bench of the supreme court, an appointment lincoln had graciously granted him in december of 1864. the chases switched parties with kate working the democratic convention of 1872 trying to secure her father's candidacy, another failed campaign. things went downhill for kate when her father died in may 1873. four months later the sprague fortune was wiped out by black

you've covered the white house. i've covered the white house. you don't hear that often from the press secretary do you? >> reporter: you don't hear it much from politicians at all. in addition to the fact a josh was acknowledging a reality that most people feel like the united states should have had a higher profile representative at the march, josh was doing something smart when it comes to public relations. admit an error, admit it early, acknowledge it, and move on. it stops the bleeding in terms of crisis like this. look this was something that people obviously, within the white house and in the obama administration were privately expressing agreement with when some people including myself said that we wish there had higher level higher profile person. if the security is too big an issue for the president to attend there's vice president biden, secretary of state john kerry, hagel and others. it is rare in politics to do so but in some cases it's a rather wise thing to do. >> certainly is. you make a mistake, everybody understands that. eve

here at the white house, we do. i think republicans have no way to coherently fight against that message, unfortunately. >> keystone pipeline is taking center stage in the senate today. can republicans get enough votes to override a presidential veto? if not, will the president sign it? plus he has been ready to run again. he may be ready to run again. mitt romney telling donors he's thinking about taking another shot at the white house. how that would shake things up in 2016. i have great credit. how do you know? duh. try credit karma. it's free and you can see what your score is right now . i just got my free credit score! credit karma. really free. >> we are just hours away potentially from a senate vote on the keystone pipeline. the controversial project will be at the very center of the senate's meeting this afternoon. and the president has already announced he will veto legislation approving the pipeline if it hits his desk. but after it passed the house friday lawmakers backing the project said they hope to g

martha: there is growing anger in the white house over house speaker john boehner inviting israel's prime minister to address the congress. "the new york times" reporting that the president's inner circle is outraged that he accepted that invitation without consulting the white house. one senior official even slamming israel's ambassador about this whole situation. speaker boehner sat down with bret baier and say, he was not surprised. >> do you think there is some kind of antipathy in this administration towards netanyahu? >> of course there is. they don't even try to hide it. israel has been our strongest ally in the region for decade. we have, we have a great relationship with them and we ought to look for ways to work together on behalf of our shared interests, not have the kind of antipathy well, that we've seen over the last several years. martha: that was just one of many straightforward answers that bret baier got from john boehner, the speaker yesterday. he joins us now. he anchors "special report." bret, good morning. good to have you with us. >> good morning martha. martha: its

conspicuously absent, any american official higher than the ambassador, an oversight the white house now says was a mistake. >> some have asked whether or not the united states should have sent someone with a higher profile than the ambassador to france, and i think it's fair to say that we should have sent someone with a higher profile to be there. >> and the threat continues. now belgium. swat teams there launched a dozen raids arresting 15 suspected jihaddists at one location. two suspects were killed after they fired on police. the government said some of the suspects had recently returned from syria and will planning to kill police officers. they may have been directed by isis. >> europe entering a new age of terror? pat? >> i'm afraid it is. this attack on charlie hebdo, they came out, escaped, captured the attention of the whole world, went out in a blavesglory. it's going to have a copycat effect on islamists in europe who say this is the way i can really reach the whole world's atension and i think al qaeda and the other folks in syria and iraq are gl to tell the europeans,

white house. new information on the president's speech right, jim? >> reporter: that's right, wolf. the white house is sort of scratching its heads and the folks here are trying to figure out, what do they do about those impromptu moments you sometimes see during a state of the union address? you'll recall the you lie moment from several years ago when the president was giving the state of the union address. well something not quite the same but an unrehearsed moment may occur and we're expecting it during the state of the union speech. democratic source tells us gwen moore's office has been in touch with the white house about a plan she says that she and roughly 50 other members of congress all house members at this point plan to hold up pencils in solidarity with "charlie hebdo" newspaper magazine in france after those brutal attacks in paris, but this is not a coordinated effort with the white house, wolf. we do expect the president to talk about the attacks on "charlie hebdo" in paris, but as

democratic source tells us gwen moore's office has been in touch with the white house about a plan she says that she and roughly 50 other members of congress all house members at this point plan to hold up pencils in solidarity with "charlie hebdo" newspaper magazine in france after those brutal attacks in paris, but this is not a coordinated effort with the white house, wolf. we do expect the president to talk about the attacks on "charlie hebdo" in paris, but as part of this overall emphasis on finding terrorism and rooting out violent extremism, according to our source the white house did not wave off the congresswoman for doing this and asked for a list of lawmakers who might do this. should be a stirring moment. >> could be very, very dramatic. stand by. we're getting more information on this. chief national correspondent, dana bash. i see you have a special guest. >> reporter: i do. few people know more about the threat of terror than dianne

there will be the white house conference at the white house. there will be five sessions throughout the country. in florida, in oregon another in arizona and another in ohio. one of them will not be in california. and also aarp has put money towards the conference. you asked earlier about the consequence of not having the act. the white house has put in money and so has aarp but it's nowhere the money that would be needed. thus we're having the five and six probably in the fall. >>any comments or questions from kathy? any comments or questions from the public? thank you. the next item on the agenda is the case report. hello patty and valerie. >>good morning. i'm here with some of my colleagues, we have a presentation we're going to do and you have it sitting at your desks now. we met in december we had a holiday party and our white elephant is becoming quite famous and getting some interesting gifts and a lot of fun was had by all. our board also met in december and we finalized our advocacy platform. this is what we feel is needed in our commu

white house is learning at least the next two years that this president remains in the white house, you've got to be really sensitive to these kinds of moments. learn a lesson from this mistake and then move on. >> reporter: this president has acknowledged in the past that he doesn't have the same foroptics for images as previous presidents. he has said it was not his strength. i think it was more than just optics. if you look at the reality of the march, world leaders were not actually marching but be that as it may, this is being referred to here in france as france's 9/11. this is being referred to as a demarcation, a moment this country is changing. truly, having been at the rally yesterday, having covered it for cnn eight hours straight i have to say it really looks as though france at least for one day, is embracing the right things and great things about france. all the pleuralism and open mindedness that usually thrives here. i think that it was beyond just optics. when you think back about 9/11 which obviously was a much bigger deal in terms of the fact that the united states had

you'll remember another unnamed white house staffer. referred to the prime minister as a chicken expletive and a coward back in october for refusing to de-escalate tensions with his muslim neighbors. the escalation and personal attacks means the prime minister can't ignore even israel's friends when it comes to threats. but iran won't be outdone when it comes to threats against israel. the iranian state news agency published pictures of netanyahu's children and calling for a hezbollah hunt. mr. obama is assailing our key ally in the middle east. and seeking -- only for a time with our enemy the islamic enemy of iran. former ambassador daniel among our guests here tonight.

a head of state normally notifies the white house of a trip. asked if the white house is annoyed. earnest says they are reserving judgment until they speak to the israeli israelis. it's worth noting the white house is not saying whether the president will even meet with netanyahu when he delivers that speech next month, but read between the lines. this is another chapter in the long saga of the frosty relationship with netanyahu and the united states. >>> and being held in havana the initial discussions are trade and travel and reopening embassies. these talks come weeks after president obama and raul castro ended nearly six decades of he strangement. >>> objections from female lawmakers left leaders short of the vote needed to pass it. this is marking the anniversary of the rowe v. wade decision. >>> the president says this is a necessary response of climate change for the arctic. one alaska senator says the order does not do enough and focuses too much on climate change and too little on development and build up of infrastructure. >>> as for the political climate. climate change

the speaker inviting him to speak before congress without telling the white house first. this is major speech. it's a speech passionately loudly against one of the president's most cherished goals, a nuclear deal with iran. dana bash is out front. this is a historic moment. it was done behind the president's back and the announcement came hours after he warned congress not to get involved with the negotiations at all. >> reporter: you're right. there's so many layers of intrigue and drama here. you have three very powerful men with complicated personal relationships and a very real issue in differences over how to stop iran from getting a nuclear weapon. dpop gop sources admit congress traditionally coordinates with the white house before asking a world leader to address congress. >> i did not consult with the white house. >> reporter: they both want congress to pass new sanctions against iran which the president opposes. >> is this just a way to poke the president in the eye on an issue like iran where you know he very much opposes what you want to do? >> i don't believe

we are live at the white house. kevin, welcome to "the real story." >> reporter: awesome to be here. i've watched you for a long time. thank you. >> thank you so much. so it must have been a lot to talk about in the briefing. how concerned is the white house about iran filling now that growing power vacuum in the region? >> reporter: excellent question. i think you're right on the money. if you really look for just a moment at the middle east map and you just sort of imagine country after country taking off one by one with unrest, and you do definitely get the sense that there is a lot happening there, it's always been the case but in particular now. the white house has growing concerns about it especially given what has happened in yemen. take a listen if you would for just a moment at my comments with josh earnest a little bit earlier today in the white house briefing when i asked him about his concerns about what's happening in that part of the world. >> can you at least acknowledge their concerns at all? >> we b

basement of the white house. if we happened to come out, to come in at the same time in the morning, i would say how are you going to solve that damn war so we have some money for our domestic problems in and he said steve, why don't can you have another good riot so i have enough time to solve this war? and this went on and on. and it also happened very often we were in the men's room at the same time. and one morning at this point we're at separate urinals -- [laughter] and henry kissinger leans over, and he says, steve, you were right, this is the right man for this moment many history. in history. that was life in the west basement.

white house members talk about the relationship between congress and the white house. then, then glickman -- dan glickman discusses the prospects for bipartisanship in the 114th congress. then, bob cusack on the legislative agenda. the most diverse congress industry poised to take power and a wave of new lawmakers is arriving on capitol hill. republicans called it the ranks. and that spirit, the hill should look at the quirks of the voting members and the new congress. there is a record number of female lawmakers, alongside 430 men following the departure of michael grimm. you taught -- senator tim scott is part of the largest black republican lass in congress since the reconstruction era. there will be 46 black lawmakers and the new congress. hispanic lawmakers will have 33 in the house and 30 senators. that is peter sullivan reporting on that. the 114 congress gavels in tomorrow at 9:00. next, we hear from former white house officials and the obama bush, and clinton administrations. >> this would not happen without pat griffin. he has been a background of being an as

let's go live to cnn senior white house correspondent jim acosta. jim, this raises very serious safety and security questions. what can you tell us? >> reporter: absolutely. we were able to reach that drone operator today over the phone. while he isn't saying much about what happened at the moment his crash landing at the white house has served as a wake-up call to the rest of washington. cnn has learned the man who crashed a small drone at the white house earlier this week lives just blocks away from 1600 pennsylvania avenue. that means the tiny quadcopter only had to fly less than ten blocks a straight shot from the man's apartment to reach the white house. one possible explanation experts say is the drone signal lost contact with the operator and ran into trees while trying to return home. the operator identified as a man who works for the top secret national geospatial intelligence agency declined to comment on reports that he was intoxicated while flying the drone. in a brief phone call with cnn, he said i can't really speak right now, i hope y
