      Their jobs are a lot more boring than you might imagine. They do a lot of babysitting and waiting in the living room, and not a lot of secret agenty stuff. They probably do laundry sometimes. They also watch them at parties, too. Imagine watching a spoiled rich kid party as your job (not common but I'm sure it happens), and basically being a nanny while the kid tries to ruin the guest house. Vin Diesel the nanny

      I assume you're right about it being Secret Service assigned to the job, but the video just said they were "undercover White House staff" so I guess just anyone whose job doesn't involve press conferences. Either way, I'm picturing someone who eats normal people food, trying to find a local DC grocery store with weird ingredients for a super-fancy chef. "Who even _sells_ albatross eggs?!?"

    For anyone wondering what the difference between black tie and white tie is:
    With black tie, you'll wear a tuxedo. This is a short (normal length) jacket, with specific details such as jetted pockets, peaked or shawl collar, and a single button (unless it's double-breasted), and a matching pair of pants with a galon along the side seam (basically a stripe of fancier material). You can then wear either a cummerbund or a waistcoat (which should be part of the tuxedo set, and not a random black vest). Finally, the "black tie" itself is a bowtie, NOT a regular necktie. There are variations you can play with, such as color of the tuxedo/jacket, pocket square, and shoes, but thats the general idea.
    White tie is even more formal than black tie. You'll wear a tailcoat (what Obama was wearing next to the queen), which usually isn't fastened at all, but will have buttons on both sides. Your pants will have a double galon, and for shoes, opera pumps usually work, but wholecut oxfords are also acceptable (or tap shoes if you're Fred Astaire). You'll also have a waistcoat, which is almost always white (or like a creamy off-white), but I've also seen black waistcoats on rare occasion. Finally, your tie is, you guessed it, a white bowtie.
    For both, you'll want a special shirt, usually with a stiff front held together with shirt studs, and french cuffs. A normal white dress shirt won't work.
    Black tie has a lot more room to play around than white tie, and it's also far more common than white tie is today. White tie is pretty much only for when royalty is visiting, in America anyway.

I’m guessing if you’re seated at the far end of the table several rooms away from the King you’re not very important, but if you are at least in the same room as the King, you’re somebody important after all.

    I've always wondered why high government positions come with so much high-class luxury. Like the whole idea is that people like the President are supposed to be "like the rest of us". I get e.g. the president flying a personal plane for security reasons, but I don't understand why every interior has to be lavish and like billionaire-status level stuff. POTUS can sometimes eat off a paper plate like the rest of us, he's just human, not some divine mythical figure.

      The main key is that the President (and really all high-level executives and heads of state) is representative of the country as a whole, and to break out the best and most expensive stuff for your visit is an indication of how much respect they're giving you for taking the time and energy to come visit.

    The King of Great Biscay once made a state visit to the U.S.
    Upon arrival, His Majesty gave a brief speech from the top of the plane steps.
    His Majesty rides his horse every morning, a tradition which has been going on for centuries & which he had his embassy provide a horse for him to continue the routine in the District of Columbia. The first morning he rode out on the Rock Creek trail, the second in Glover Archibald Park, the third on Rock Creek again and early on the final morning, he had his horse brought to Lafayette Square so he could go for a hack out on the National Mall.
    The visit actually lasted for 5 days: Great Biscay has no equivalent of Air Force I so we chartered a B474 from our national airline. They couldn't afford to have a plane out the sky for 4 days so we had different planes each way. On the way back, the plane after it had arrived had developed a faulty fuel injector that had to be fixed. It was discovered at 10 o'clock in the morning but a spare part had to be sourced, it took all day to fix & wasn't ready to take off until after midnight.

    This vid reminds me of the opening [before credits] of a West Wing episode. It's a few of the staff setting up flags on a blueprint of a table for the President's something breakfast. They're going on and on about no that person can't sit next to that person because of this or that reason, they have to go here, but that other person doesn't like the one that was moved and so on. At the end, they sit back proud of themselves for finally putting the seating arrangement puzzle together where there won't be any international incidents. It takes a couple ticks, then someone says it won't work. WHAT?!?! WHY NOT?!? Then they notice there's still one flag sitting on a side table and not on the diagram. Which flag? The US.

    2:06 It would be the Secret Service. They cover all Head of States and Governments. DSS does everyone under that, Foreign Ministers and so on (and countries the US officially doesn't recognize)

    • @Col_Crunch
      @Col_Crunch 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Both DSS and USSS provide protection for Heads of State and Heads of Government. USSS is the primary provider within the US (DSS sometimes will protect Heads of State/Government in their home countries when requested) but from what I understand DSS will get tasked if USSS doesn't have the manpower or if a specific request comes in. But yeah, the video should probably say Secret Service.

    I would say the Federal government having a calligrapher on staff and spending $600K-a-pop on multiple parties every year is a *SERIOUS* waste of my tax dollars... But the Pentagon misplaces $2 trillion on a fairly regular basis, so that feels kind of petty...

    You know, if Pekka Haavisto wins the Finnish presidential election, there can be someone invited to the state dinner who has heard of Half As Interesting.
    That's because he's a chill dude and I have met him and will most likely meet him again. Technically speaking he's meeting my mom, but since I too am part of their party, I'll be there too.

    I had to laugh when the question of Australian transport was raised. New Zealand PMs travel commercial (with a police officer). Likely business class, but still commercial. Our leaders don't have their own planes, though the air force do provide some rides.

    The Blair house also housed Eleanor Roosevelt after Truman was sworn in following her husband's death, and later Truman himself after the White House was gutted and rebuilt from the inside, out (look it up, the pics are just wild to imagine).
    The Blair house is also where Truman was nearly assassinated by two Puerto Rican nationalists, one of whom survived and stated that they had no beef with Truman, in particular. They just wanted to gain attention towards the PR nationalist movement at the time, wanting independence for the island.
    Shit has a crazy history, honestly.
