This might be incredibly niche but could you guys talk about dinners with foreign heads of states? I'm especially curious about the experiences of the chefs trying to tailor the menu to the specific head of state, as well as what special security measures are put in place
I love David Plouffe. You two are a perfect team. It would be great to see you both once a week breaking down events. Never thought I’d be interested in the strategy of conus trips!
I would love to hear more about POTUS and the First Lady’s wardrobes. Who handles these items, how far in advance is clothing planned for trips and big events. Love this series so much, endlessly fascinating.
Oh wow, I have just found the right channel haven't I? These types of videos are super interesting to watch. I bet you have lots of stories to tell to friends with jobs like those.
Thanks for having this discussion !! I'm still impressed by ALL the team members of the Obama White House years!! Good to see you all on Crooked Media.
An artist named Joan Baez wrote a song called The President Sang Amazing Grace. It perfectly captures the feeling of what it feels like to have an empathetic leader.
Am I the only person who thinks Alyssa and Lovett could be brother and sister? They have a similar cuteness. Also, I want to give a shout out to Alyssa's fantastic collection of cozy sweaters.
Omg! I teared up, Obama was so good! So much empathy for a President. I'm still so worn down by the last guy. Really nice to not hear much about/from him but I'm having a harder time moving on than I thought.
Hey Crooked! There’s a pretty crucial topic that I think all of us need some clarity on. Can someone please ask Alyssa where all her great knits are coming from?? They look like handknits and I’m so curious if she’s a knitter or someone else in her life is. (plus one of my favorite indie yarn dyers is doing a colorway inspired by Acadia National Park)
What a great topic!! 👍🏻 These are the BEST episodes. What is the transition like? I've always wondered why Democrats don't spend more time in smaller venues in opposition states and vice versa? How many teams encircle the president on the daily and who or what are they? How is the job structured? ( for a normal person interested in governing) Is it seasonal and issue pockets, with some daily and crisis points thrown in? It seems like such a HUGE job. How is it possible to organize? Or, does the job unfold as the needs arise because it is always impossible to get everything done?
@@podsaveamerica Thank you. I would also be so interested in a video about the Crooked Media people. It's one thing to read a bio etc..but, after learning a bit more about what it might take to 'run a government', it has become clear that the team people are super smart but- what does that mean exactly? ...and what paths did everyone ake? Do you have to be from an Ivy league school? If you don't, would you ever end up in the right circles? Did one volunteer as a young, energetic newbie and with snappy brain and resilient personality learn to sink or swim? Do many people fall by the wayside during one's ascent? There is no other company or news/media/punditry group quite like this one so the stories of the presenters ...I'm sure everyone wonders.
I only need to hear the 1st note of that Amazing Grace moment to be in tears. Love this series. I want to hear more of your crazy International travel stories!
Lovett as a Mountie? Pics or it didn't happen. Also, I would love to hear a 'Let's Break it Down' on the "Winning the Future" arc from inception to fallout recovery. Was Faves involved? I'm dying to know!
This was a truly great episode. Appreciate the "behind the scenes". I MISS President Obama so much, but that man deserves his fun and rest now! Reminiscing about the Obama years amplifies how much trauma has been inflicted on the entire country from the former guys (idiots) administration
Have an episode with Alissa 1-2 times a week. Ideas: -protecting potus private time. -really take a personal look at a national concern (children at home with a non working parent during Covid) answering questions like, “why is it so stressful?” , “What is the economic loss?” How to coordinate POTUS and First Lady’s schedule? How do you prepare for state dinners? A review of the week’s news by Alyssa and a guest, from a woman’s point of view.
I teared up with Amazing Grace. But Damn Girl, I hope schools across the nation start playing these. You're doing Patriot's Work with a side of good humor. Democracy medicine with a spoonful of sugar. You are the Mary Poppins of American Civics.
This video just showed up on my feed, and I love this channel! Just one suggestion... is it possible for the channel regulars to use a proper camera or camcorder, position it just above your webcam, record to memory and then put it together during editing? If you can find a way to Fedex a camera to other guests and then get it shipped back, even better. The content is great but the blurry "Zoom quality" video is a let down.
I’m interested in learning about you all! I am a young professional, and I want to know how you got where you are! What were your experiences, and what can we do to continue the amazing work you all did?
That picture of Biden with "Jobs Plan" in the background...at first I thought it said "jobsplain" which I thought was a new term for something, and I was like great. What new term do I have to learn now? Lol 🤦🏻♀️
What happens (as an established pattern, so you don’t forget anything) in the first 2-3 hours after a major event takes place ? I’m thinking of large scale weather destruction or out of control fire or mass shooting or ??? Maybe pick one or two events that happened but are very different from each other as a way of explaining the process.
I'd love to know more about visits from foreign dignitaries and fellow national leaders, particularly royalty. Does anybody bow or curtsey to anyone, what's the protocol, any mishaps?
If Biden addressed every mass shooting in America it would be a full time job. We tend to average 1 to 2 per day, every day. 48 hour trip? More like 8,760 hour trip per year.
What do you guys felt travelling to Iraq and Afghanistan - where your president decided to kill thousands of people that you are not even at war with, that your country invaded? Was it the hardest part of the job? Serving someone who continues wars in the poorest regions of the world?
What other White House events should we tackle next?
The White House Correspondents Dinner!!
Would love to see the process for booking TV appearances. Who does the interview/where is it done/etc., and any funny mishaps :)
Inauguration from the perspective of an outgoing administration. What does that look like? What does the last days in office look like?
State dinners and bilateral meetings
Not till later this year, but White House at the Holidays would be fun.
This might be incredibly niche but could you guys talk about dinners with foreign heads of states? I'm especially curious about the experiences of the chefs trying to tailor the menu to the specific head of state, as well as what special security measures are put in place
We'll definitely be covering that topic soon!
Great idea
I love David Plouffe. You two are a perfect team. It would be great to see you both once a week breaking down events. Never thought I’d be interested in the strategy of conus trips!
Me neither!
I would love to hear more about POTUS and the First Lady’s wardrobes. Who handles these items, how far in advance is clothing planned for trips and big events. Love this series so much, endlessly fascinating.
This is my favorite series on this channel 😍 keep up the good work!
How about something that breaks down WH celebrations? Easter, Passover, Christmas, 4th of July, etc.
The turkey thing - it's so weird from a foreign perspective!!
Alyssa, this is your best format. I love when you reminisce about your White House days!
More Alyssa! Excellent!
Oh wow, I have just found the right channel haven't I? These types of videos are super interesting to watch. I bet you have lots of stories to tell to friends with jobs like those.
I love Alyssa! Will watch anything she’s in.
Thanks for having this discussion !! I'm still impressed by ALL the team members of the Obama White House years!! Good to see you all on Crooked Media.
Obama singing "Amazing Grace" is so tragic and beautiful. Crooked Media artifacts that legacy and continues its momentum. This an awesome series.
Very interesting and informative I love this series

Very much agree! Who is knitting her great sweaters?
Yes, please! We must know about the knits...call out the crafter(s)!
I’d love a let’s break it down explaining the roles of the various depts/staff from those that actually did the jobs.
This was so much fun. I loved it. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching!
@@podsaveamerica I always do.
This truly did show what the country- what the world has missed: super smart, dedicated people.
Two of my favorite people love you guys
I watch
Lovett as a Mountie??? WE NEED PICTURES! :)
As usual, you killed it, Alyssa! Great guest, great talk, super entertaining and informative. Keep 'em coming, please!
The amazing grace moment makes me bawl every time
Let's break it down the best Crooked show. Love the insight
David Plouffe! I’m starstruck!
What a great topic!! 👍🏻
These are the BEST episodes.
What is the transition like?
I've always wondered why Democrats don't spend more time in smaller venues in opposition states and vice versa?
How many teams encircle the president on the daily and who or what are they? How is the job structured? ( for a normal person interested in governing) Is it seasonal and issue pockets, with some daily and crisis points thrown in?
It seems like such a HUGE job. How is it possible to organize? Or, does the job unfold as the needs arise because it is always impossible to get everything done?
Thank you for your questions Sasha! On the transition front, we did an episode on it - check it out here! th-cam.com/video/Yni9udEux-k/w-d-xo.html

Any day when the Obama team reminisces about their time in the WH is a good day.
I only need to hear the 1st note of that Amazing Grace moment to be in tears. Love this series. I want to hear more of your crazy International travel stories!
That's coming up next episode! :)
Lovett as a Mountie? Pics or it didn't happen.

These are so amazing, keep them coming!!
BHO was the best president of my life and will always be.
oh dear the Obama speeches got me all teared up!
This was a truly great episode. Appreciate the "behind the scenes". I MISS President Obama so much, but that man deserves his fun and rest now! Reminiscing about the Obama years amplifies how much trauma has been inflicted on the entire country from the former guys (idiots) administration
Thank You for that, very insightful ! 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
Have an episode with Alissa 1-2 times a week.
Ideas:
-protecting potus private time.
-really take a personal look at a national concern (children at home with a non working parent during Covid) answering questions like, “why is it so stressful?” , “What is the economic loss?”
How to coordinate POTUS and First Lady’s schedule?

These episodes always seem short because they're so excellent, same with Hysteria that has really hit its' stride
Thanks, Melissa!
They were sooooooo on the money with Obama having the ability to put aside biases and show empathy when needed 💕
Great 👍🏻show
Really interesting
I’m interested in learning about you all! I am a young professional, and I want to know how you got where you are! What were your experiences, and what can we do to continue the amazing work you all did?
I love when Plouffe the magic dragon is with all you Crooked folks. He's just such a great conversationalist/interviewee and brainiac.
Seeing Obama’s old staff talk about their particular line of work like his chief, I highly recommend that TH-cam video too🤍
7:56 What about Obama’s posh mustard faux pas? Priceless😂😂😂😂
I want to know about concerts and musical events
That picture of Biden with "Jobs Plan" in the background...at first I thought it said "jobsplain" which I thought was a new term for something, and I was like great. What new term do I have to learn now? Lol 🤦🏻♀️
lol We've all been there!
LOL. I was just listening and thought you said "Kaunas" trip. :)
What happens (as an established pattern, so you don’t forget anything) in the first 2-3 hours after a major event takes place ? I’m thinking of large scale weather destruction or out of control fire or mass shooting or ???

EVERY TIME I see the thumbnail I think it’s Sarah Palin
💙💙💙
Shameless Commerce: Pete Souza published a book of all those Obama WH pix, and if you're a fan (of him, or the prez), you should buy it.
Breaks my heart that we went from ‘Yes we can’ to everything Trump......
Wow you have to go to the Transport Secy and beg them to pay for Air Force One journeys? That is hilarious 😂😂😂
Interesting lol
wish this had captions : (
Thanks for letting us know! We'll touch base with TH-cam and figure out why theyre missing!
@@podsaveamerica thank you!
I'm so happy that Biden took out Trump and I think Biden is doing a very good job. But I still miss Obama!
If Biden addressed every mass shooting in America it would be a full time job. We tend to average 1 to 2 per day, every day. 48 hour trip? More like 8,760 hour trip per year.
Horrifying to think about that way. :(
How do the big, blow-out celebrity parties get planned? i.e. the last big one with Beyonce, Magic, Samuel J, etc
Well, I think it wouldn't have killed Bush's team to put 43 in a flight suit, and put him in an HH-60 and fly him over at about 2000 ft...
Yep thats about all they know how to do.
Eat cake 🍰
Trips, pork, and vaca thats it.
Trump does rallies but did he visit places after disasters? Did he ever try to comfort the nation? He tries to increase anger and hatred.
No mention of Plouffe's numerous paid speaking events whilst in office as well as his lobbying for corporations including Uber? 🥴
