In this special episode of Consider the Constitution, Dr. Katie Crawford-Lackey explores the evolving role of America's First Ladies with Anita McBride, former Assistant to President George W. Bush and Chief of Staff to First Lady Laura Bush, and co-author of "Remember the First Ladies: The Legacies of America's History-Making Women." Though the Constitution never defines this role, First Ladies, from Martha Washington to today, have wielded significant influence in shaping policy, diplomacy, and national identity. McBride shares fascinating insights about how these women served as essential partners to presidents while carving out their own legacies - from Dolley Madison saving White House treasures during war to Lady Bird Johnson advocating for civil rights in the hostile South. Drawing from her extensive research for her book, McBride reveals how these remarkable women used their "automatic powerful platform" to advance the nation, even when they themselves lacked constitutional rights.

The White House showcases the very best of American culinary arts, whether it's providing the president some much needed nourishment after a long day or using a meal as a diplomatic tool between two nations. White House Executive Chef Cristeta Comerford spent almost 30 years working in the White House kitchens before retiring in July 2024. Stewart McLaurin, President of the White House Historical Association, spoke with Chef Comerford about growing up in the Philippines, falling in love with cooking, and becoming a U.S. citizen who never dreamed one day she would cook at the most famous address in America.  Chef Comerford started as an assistant chef in 1995 during the Clinton presidency, and just 10 years later was named Executive Chef by First Lady Laura Bush. Chef Comerford was the first woman and first person of color named to the top position in the White House kitchen. She cooked for five presidents and their families, dozens of dignitaries, and literally thousands of guests from all around the world - overseeing more than 50 state dinners along the way.  The key to cooking at the White House? Chef Comerford says it's being able to listen and read the room properly because at the end of the day “...this is not your restaurant. This is not about you, it's about the president or the family who are living in that White House at the moment.” Hear about what it takes to put on a state dinner, which president has his own chili recipe, and much more about cooking at the White House.

During election season, voters hope to glimpse the true selves of presidential candidates. And sometimes, revealing details hide in plain sight. On this week's On the Media, one reporter sifts through political memoirs for truths about politicians and the people they lead. Plus, in vivid detail, a novelist imagines the private lives of former presidents.[01:00] Host Brooke Gladstone speaks with Carlos Lozada, New York Times Opinion columnist and a co-host of the weekly “Matter of Opinion” podcast.

We speak with New York Times Reporter Katie Rogers about her new book "American Woman." The book takes an in-depth look at the history of the role from Hillary Clinton, to Laura Bush, Michelle Obama, Melania Trump, and finally, Jill Biden.

So much news coverage is devoted to the president, but it turns out that first ladies have had an incredibly influential and undercovered role in many White Houses. At the same time, it is an often thankless job that receives a lot of scrutiny.  Mosheh sits down with New York Times White House correspondent and author, Katie Rogers, exploring her new book, ‘American Woman: The Transformation of the Modern First Lady.'  In our conversation, we dive straight into Jill Biden's role in the White House, especially when it comes to managing crises, from international wars to the struggles of Hunter Biden–including what it means that she is the family “grudge holder.”  This edition also delves into how several other recent first ladies—Melania Trump, Michelle Obama, Laura Bush, and Hillary Clinton–how each viewed their roles over the last 30 years, and some surprising revelations about their time in the White House.  Follow Mo News on all platforms: Website: www.mo.news Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mosheh/ Daily Newsletter: https://www.mo.news/newsletter Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@monews Twitter: https://twitter.com/mosheh TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mosheh Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MoshehNews Snapchat: https://t.snapchat.com/pO9xpLY9

First ladies are among the most powerful advisers in any White House and Jill Biden is no exception. On this episode of Deep Dive, host and Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza is joined by NYT White House correspondent Katie Rogers, who recently published  “American Woman: The Transformation of the Modern First Lady, from Hillary Clinton to Jill Biden,” an authoritative account of how this century's first ladies have influenced the nation.  Ryan and Katie discuss Jill Biden and Melania Trump's roles in staffing, campaigning, and policy decisions; sensitive items from their times in the White House, such as Melania and Donald's prenup; and whether or not Jill Biden has ever forgiven Kamala Harris for what she said about Joe in 2020. Additionally, Katie opened up about the time her editors at the New York Times sent her to Arkansas and forced her to report a story about the Bidens that she didn't want to cover — and how it ended up forcing Jill and Joe to confront an uncomfortable truth about their family. Ryan Lizza is a Playbook co-author for POLITICO.

hat story from Bloomberg's Charlie Pellett. Hope Folds aren't preparing for a long awaited reopening of the market for new listings, sources say. The San Francisco based firm, whose users help fuel the meme stock frenzy that made twenty twenty one a ban a year for equities, is weighing an IPO as soon as the first quarter. Bloomberg news last year that Reddit was working with Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs on the listing and was considering a valuation of as much as fifteen billion dollars in New York. Charlie Pellett, Bloomberg Radio, all right, Charlie, thank you well, fast fashion retailer. She and has filed confidential confidentially with US regulators for an IPO that could take place next year. Bloomberg News has learned the online retailer, which was founded in China's working with Goldman Sachs, JP, Morgan Chase and Morgan Stanley on the listing. She has come under fire for poor labor conditions and factories in partners with overproduction of poor quality garments and the use of cotton from a Chinese region accused of using forced labor. Futures this morning, little change nasday futures lower though down a tenth of a percent on about twenty two points ten year treasury down two thirty seconds you four point three nine percent, and a yield on the two years at four point nine zero percent. Straight ahead, we have more local headlines, plus check of sports, and this is Bloomberg and it is time now for a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. For that, we're joined by Bloomberg's Amy Morris Any Good morning, Good morning, Karen. Scandal plagued New York Republican Representative George Santos has acknowledged he expects to be expelled from the House as soon as this week. House Speaker Mike Johnson was asked if there would be a vote on the fate of mister Santos as soon as this week. We've spoken to Coxsman Santos at some length over the holiday and talked to him about his options, but we'll have to see. It's not yet determined. The latest blow came in the form of a fifty six page report from the Health Ethics Committee released earlier this month, outlining substantial evidence that mister Santos violated federal law. The Justice Department has charged Santo's with conspiracy, wire fraud, fallse statements, falsification of records, aggravated identity theft, and credit card fraud. Border security is a key part of a broader legislative deal that lawmakers want to complete before the end of this year, but lawmakers are not likely to include a pathway to citizenship for young immigrants protected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program in the border deal wrapped in that conversation a national security funding request from the White House, including eight for Ukraine. Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer. The biggest hold up to the national security supplement is an insistence by some Republicans, just some on partisan border policy as a condition for Ukraine aid. Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut, a top Democratic negotiator in those talks, says wild Daka is a priority that Democrats would want to see included in the deal, it does not align with what Republicans want the final bill to look like. A Moscow court has extended the detention of US reporter Avan Gershkovich. Gershkovich was arrested in Russia earlier this year. He's accused of spying. Today's hearing was held behind closed doors, no press allowed inside. His detention will be extended through January thirtieth. Memorial service is being held in Atlanta for former First Lady Rosalind Carter, President Biden, First Lady Jill Biden, and other former First Ladies. Malania Trump, Hillary Clinton, and Laura Bush are all expected to attend services this afternoon on the campus of Emory University. Jimmy Carter is also planning to be there. Rosalind Carter rather Rosalind Carter Pardon me died on November nineteenth at the age of ninety six. Global news twenty four hours a day and whenever you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Maybe Morris and this is Bloomberg Karen. All right, Amy, thank you what we do bring you news throughout the day right here on Bloomberg Radio. But now, as Amy said, you can get the latest news on demand whenever you want it. Just subscribe to Bloomberg News Now to get the latest headlines at a click of a button. Get informed on your schedule. You can listen and subscribe to Bloomberg News Now on the Bloomberg Business app, Bloomberg dot Com plus Apples, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. And it's time now for the Bloomberg Sports Update, and here's John stash Hour, John Karen Mother Night. Football in Minnesota, the Vikings lost their quarterback Kirk Cousins for the season, and their star windout Justin Jefferson, missed another game that's the seventh in a row, and their offense struggled. Their new quarterback, Joshua Dobbs, who had been playing well through four interceptions. He did throw a touchdown pass to TJ. Hockinson with under six minutes to go, the only TV

yesterday in Israel talking about wanting to rebuild in Gaza after the war is over. How much pressure is there on Israel right now to try to come to some kind of resolution of this crisis. There is a growing pressure, and I think there's a growing demand from partners from the Gulf, including the US, to understand what Israel's plan actually is. They haven't really expressed it. There is this notion obviously that the Netzenyahu government want to keep the West Bankcupied territories separated from the Gaza Strip. That obviously flies in the face of what the international community want in terms of a two state solution which would unify these two Palestinian territories. So there's so much to be ironed out, and I think that's probably some of the questions that Anthony Blincoln is going to want answers to when he arrives. Are we seeing that pressure Simon coming just from partners from the international community, or is Prime Minister Nettagna, who coming under some domestic pressure as well, got about a minute left. Well, yeah, obviously within Israel there is a quite a right wing government here at the moment. There are senior members of Nettaya who's Netanya whose cabinet, who are far on the right and very much against this idea of a two state solution and want to see a continued Israeli security presence inside the Gaza Strip. They have very little faith in any to come out of the Gaza Strip. So clearly Netanyahu's going to have to thread the needle here between what the international community wants and the pressures he's facing internally to be much more hardlined. Okay, Simon, thanks for this. We'll be checking back with you in the days and weeks to come. Simon Marks of Bloomberg News joining us this morning from Tel Aviv on day five now of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, with the expectation that more hostages will be released today in exchange for Palestinian prisoners out of Israel. This is Bloomberg Daybreak Today, your morning brief on the story's making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. Look for us on your podcast feed at six am Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. You can also listen live each morning starting at five am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, Bloomberg one oh sixty one in Boston, and Bloomberg nine sixty in San Francisco. Our flagship New York station is also available on your Amazon Alexa devices. Just say Alexa play Bloomberg eleven thirty plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app. Seriusxmbiheartradio app and on Bloomberg dot Com. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Join us again tomorrow morning for all the news you need to start your day right here on Bloomberg DaybreakSee

Hey, Food FAQ-er!

Since the founding of America, spouses and relatives have served as White House hostess, public servant, and unofficial presidential adviser. Their role has come to be known as first lady but the accomplishments of many have gone unrecognized - until now. Anita McBride was an assistant to President George W. Bush and Chief of Staff to First Lady Laura Bush, and is the current director of American University's First Ladies Initiative. She is also a founding member of the First Ladies Association for Research and Education (FLARE) alongside Diana Carlin and Nancy Kegan Smith. These three have co-authored a new college textbook called “U.S. First Ladies: Making History and Leaving Legacies.” The textbook is the first of its kind, and includes a foreword by First Lady Dr. Jill Biden. There will also be a trade book released called "Remember the First Ladies: The Legacies of America's History-Making Women." Association president and host Stewart McLaurin sat down with Anita at the Dolley Madison House in Washington, DC for an insightful interview that reveals a fascinating history of how first ladies have influenced American society, public policy, diplomacy, and life in the White House.

In part one of our special ‘In the Room' series, we look back on the chilling moments that followed the September 11 terror attacks, meeting top aides who were rushed onto Air Force One with US president George W Bush, a Secret Service agent tasked with protecting first lady Laura Bush and a staffer who was evacuated from the White House. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For this week's Overlap Podcast, we ask a simple question: what do actor LeVar Burton, former First Ladies Barbara and Laura Bush, and Drag Queen Supreme RuPaul Andre Charles all have in common? Answer: they all know that “Reading is Fundamental.” This week, our boys Sid and Keith discuss why everyone must make reading an intentional and regular practice if they want to be successful in business and in life. (And we learn that Keith can, in fact, read, which is the shocker of the year thus far as we had $20 on him being a functioning adult illiterate … and that, children, is “shade,” not “reading,” since “Shade is, I don't have to tell you you're ugly because you already know you're ugly,” per the infamous Dorian Corey of “Paris is Burning” fame.) So, peruse some pages as you enjoy this week's episode  because the library is open, children.

Today we at StraightioLab Inc. are thrilled to celebrate Pride by presenting a special, potentially once-in-a-lifetime episode of our sister podcast GaytioLab, the podcast that unpacks gay culture. That's right! Up is down, down is up, and gay guys are basically girls this week as we turn the spotlight on ourselves and our community with icon Macy Rodman. After deliberating over many topics, we decide to talk about women. Is stanning toxic? Is Laura Bush putting the "Questioning" back in LGBTQ? And is the word "complex" the new c-word?
