Books focusing on Mental Health care now from 2010 Rosalynn Carter ending the Mental Health crisis. [applause] im on book tour this week i get the same questions every time so i thought i would tell you what they were. The first is how did you get involved in Mental Health . Why did you write the books i will tell you how i got involved. I was campaigning for jimmy when he ran the first time and lost the first time we got in late the candidate dropped out in this was 1966 and we didnt have long to campaign so i drove from one town to the next very disorganized campaign. But this was 66 and they are beginning to move people out of the Central State Hospital and into the community but there was no Mental Health service yet. I had so many people say what way your husband do if elected governor . Standing at a gay at 430 in the morning for the shift change a whole bunch of people coming in and going out and passing out brochures. A lady was small and elderly you could tell how tired she wa
Post to say if donald trump wins, his wife is an immigrant. Especially at that time he was having a rally that day really about the wall to keep immigrants out. So i started to make calls and it was just shocking how little was known about basic autobiographical information. Donald trump has been in the public eye forever. Why do we know so little about milania . A bunch of reasons but she only arrived in america in 2006 so i had to travel to her native countrys lenient part of the former yugoslavia. And was a socialist country and right around the time that she left that whole bulk and area i was involved in conflict when i was going around its very interesting how many said i got a call dont talk. And that enigmatic and mysterious. One of the effects of that people make assumptions about her that you discovered turned out not to be true. Tell us about some of those. Because we didnt see her on the campaign trail we dismissed her as a nonplayer. But it turns out even though you dont s
Guest i think it isnt all that different from the way weve seen him view the presidency of the last three and a half years. He is making it very partisan. He came out a few hours ago talking about the democratic mayor isnt doing enough, and how important the National Guard is. I think hes making it a partisan issue where in the past a president would reach out and be compassionate and bring people together instead of divide them. So i think that is something we have seen in both the pandemic and the recent protests. Host how did your book, about, what is the genesis of it . Guest id written a book called the residence and a couple other books about the white house, and ive always been fascinated by what happens behind the scenes on Inauguration Day. To me that is such a dramatic day when one new family moves in and another moves out. The public is looking at the front of the capitol. As you know, the swearingin ceremony that we all watch, but really behind the scenes theres controlled

There were metal detectors here at the entrance at Christmas Hill park and a fence around the perimeter but the gunman, were not naming, bypass the security measure and got in with an ak47 that he purchased legally in nevada weeks before the shooting.
