And she would come in toting a straw bag in each hand filled with some of these things you see on her desk that she had taken home for signing or speech writing or Event Planning or whatever she was working on. Shed come in. Her desk was always very orderly. And as she worked on her desk with letters she was processing or things, when she completed things shed put them on the floor. She loved this office because she could look out at her alma mater and then a corridor through to the capital in the city she loved so much. We had three office staff at the time. We had a person who handled her calendar. We had a person who came from the white house as her press secretary who helped her work on speeches. And then i was in the office. By friday afternoon she was ready to leave and go to the ranch, which she really called home. And about 3 30 in the afternoon she would say do i have anything else to do . And if the answer was no she would say tell the secret service im ready to go. Watch our
Exact. Did the storm surge come as a surprise to our scientists as well . The storm surge and much o like i think with Superstorm Sandy here where the severity of the storm surge was not rm anticipated i think its a similar dynamic there. We anticipated some but not a 30foot storm surge. 30 do you think after hurricanei sandy and after this situation a that we should begin to te reevaluate what it is that we should be expecting in terms of storm surges . Is the fact that the oceans are getting so much warmer and the c storms so much more dynamic something that should be factored in to what it is we include as warnings from storm surges . You know, i think and im not a scientist on these issues. Clearly we need to factor in the potential for storm surge. And im not sure what the Science Behind making that possible looks like. But its something in our ngt after any disasterha like this usaid does a review and im sure that will be a factor we look at. Its my understanding many ot the casu
And the colonial marines is a e unit that resembles on a much m smaller scale the union color regiments of the civil war in that the officers are white men, but the enlisted men and the ncos are africanamericans. And they are being attracted into the service because theyr not being compelled to it, and indeed, as far as we can tell, f most of the runaways, indeed, tl including most of the men, dont choose to be colonial marines. H some may end up as sailors or ms others work more informally as guides. Many women worked as laundresses and nurses. Hem some of them are serving as paid servants for british officers rh and others go to work for the ts dockyard in bermuda. So theres a whole range of roles, and it is a subset of the men who are serving in the colonial marines and theyre not compelled to do this, though aro there is a great deal of t persuasion applied to encourage them to serve. By the and they are attracted by the fact they will be paid, they re will receive decent clothing
Office. The former chief of staff at Homeland Security under secretary nielsen was a very big and inside position. What did anonymous and others actually stop from happening . How worried was he and were others inhouse . How many are still there . Insight into why biden is hitting the notes that he is in this campaign, especially in the final week. And also why did miles taylor conduct himself the way he has . Lets start there. Miles taylor, thank you for taking the opportunity. Hey, chris, as always, thank you for having me. All right. First what matters most certainly to me. You lied to us, miles. You were asked in august if you were anonymous here on cnn with Anderson Cooper, and you said no. Now, why should cnn keep you on the payroll after lying like that . Chris, its a great question, and ill just give you the blunt truth. When i published a warning, i said in the book that if asked, i would strenuously deny i was the author, and heres the reason. Because the things i said in tha
Welcome to all. Begin with nbcs ali vitali in ra hoRehoboth Beach. Reporter alex, a blustering day here on Rehoboth Beach, here because joe biden is taking the next few days down. No public events. We saw him go for a bike ride with his wife jill biden. Makes sense. Its a Beautiful Day here. Speaks to the fact the transition is doing a lot of its work behind the scenes trying to figure on the staffing front what announcement they might make next. We dont think well hear about cabinet picks until after thanksgiving, later into november and december even, but on a staffing front, there are conversations happening about filling out what the west wing and the other key role theres might look like. We know that last week biden announced ron klain chief of staff. Its a choice that makes sense. Someone whos been around the former vice president. Now president elect, for many years. Also got experience in dealing with pandemics and Public Health crises. He was the ebola czar under the obama ad
