Proust answered the questionnaire in a confession album, a form of parlour game popular at the end of the 1890s. The album, titled An Album to Record Thoughts, Feelings, etc. was found in 1924 and published in the French literary journal Les Cahiers du Mois. Our 'Proust Photo Quiz' is an adaption of the original text. Pete Souza is a best-selling author, speaker and freelance photographer. He started his career working for two small newspapers in Kansas.

For all eight years of the Obama administration, Souza was the Chief Official White House Photographer and the Director of the White House photo office. His book, Obama: An Intimate Portrait, was published in 2017. His 2018 book, Shade: A Tale of Two Presidents, tells the tale of the Obama and Trump administrations. In 2021, Souza was inducted into the International Photography Hall of Fame. In 2022, he was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Professional Photographers of America. Based on his best-selling books, Souza became the subject of a documentary film in 2020, The Way I See It. The film was nominated for an Emmy.

In today's Canadian politics news update, Prime Minister Mark Carney's strategic trade partnerships have defied all economic expectations, shifting Canada's economy and trade dynamics more than anyone once thought possible. Now, with the European Union reportedly in talks to join the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement that includes Canada, PM Carney is proving his point. When the world's middle powers come together, democratic nations are not doomed in the wake of the American empire. And Canada's economy certainly is not doomed in the wake CUSMA, as some Canadian politicians want you to believe.Tune into Episode 375 of The Bill Kelly Podcast for daily politics news updates.This politics news update was recorded on February 18, 2026.WATCH THIS EPISODE and subscribe to our channel: https://youtu.be/bz0ezQCvAZkDon't forget to like, share, comment and subscribe to support Bill's work.

Should all Canadian politics leaders be required to undergo top level security clearance? The answer seemed so obvious, apparently nobody thought to write a law mandating it. Until now, with breaking news about a new parliamentary petition e-7148 which takes direct aim at Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre over his refusal to receive top level security clearance for over 11 years, deceptively calling it a “gag order”.Bill discusses the implications of Pierre Poilievre's highly suspicious refusal to follow the accepted political process in the context of national security, foreign interference, and Canadian politics news today.

In breaking news today, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has doubled down on her Trumpian political tactics, publicly demanding that Prime Minister Mark Carney allow her to meddle in Canada's politically-independent judiciary system or she will ‘withhold funding' from the judicial appointment process. Danielle Smith told PM Carney in a letter that she wants be consulted on all future appointments to Alberta's Court of King's Bench, the Alberta Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada. Let's talk about why this is a terrible idea…This shocking move comes just days after Alberta's three chief justices issued a rare public statement, warning that democracy only functions when all three branches of government operate independently and respect each other's role. Premier Smith has declared her desire to “direct” judge appointments in the past and has invoked the Notwithstanding Clause four times in the last sitting of Parliament alone.Tune into Episode 366 of The Bill Kelly Podcast for daily politics news updates.This Canada politics news update was recorded on February 4, 2026.Don't forget to like, share, comment and subscribe to support Bill's work.

In major Canada politics news this week, the threat of Alberta separation is escalating across Canadian politics. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said she "supports a strong and sovereign Alberta within a united Canada" which sounds like an oxymoronic statement, to me. If Danielle Smith truly believes in a united Canada, her policy actions don't reflect that.Danielle Smith's hypocrisy is especially evident in light of the breaking news that Alberta separatists have been meeting with US President Donald Trump's administration. The group is seeking a possible $500-billion US line of credit from the U.S. Treasury to help bankroll Alberta independence, a move that BC Premier David Eby called “treasonous”.

Canadian news media reacted to Pierre Poilievre securing 87.4% of the Conservative delegations confidence in last weekend's leadership review like it was a resounding endorsement, but was it? And does that ultimately matter when the rest of Canada doesn't like him? Plus, Pierre Poilievre seems to have borrowed a few strategies from Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal politics messaging playbook.Tune into Episode 363 of The Bill Kelly Podcast for daily politics news updates.This Canada politics news update was recorded on February 1, 2026.Don't forget to like, share, comment and subscribe to support Bill's work.

Pete Souza was the Chief Official White House Photographer for the entire tenure of the presidency of Barack Obama. He is the author of several books, including the #1 New York Times bestsellers Obama: An Intimate Portrait and Shade: A Tale of Two Presidents. A photojournalist since the late 1970s, Souza was also an official White House photographer during the Reagan administration, a freelance photographer for Life and National Geographic, and the Washington-based natural national photographer for the Chicago Tribune. A documentary about his work at the White House, The Way I See It, was nominated for an Emmy, and its Premier was the highest rated non-news, non-live program in MSNBC history. He is a professor emeritus at Ohio University's School of Visual Communication. In 2021, Souza was inducted into the International Photography Hall of Fame. Pete has brilliantly captured on film so many incredible moments in modern presidential history. But he also has a great way with words, and joins me for an insightful chat about Donald Trump's unconscionable architectural and design assault on The White House, the defiling of The Kennedy Center, and his utter disdain for protocol, the rule of law, and history.
