Glad it was helpful! Now that is exciting - wow!

Glad you enjoyed it! I was such an amateur then. I wish it was better but THANK you for the compliment :)

Hey that’s cool - never thought of it like that

Thanks so much for the amazing comment. I’m so humbled by it and I was so amateur back then. My newer material is so much more professional. :)

Cocinando con Doña Chuyita it’s so amazing. Have FUN!!!!

DrGariS simp

@James Harball yup.

Is it super expensive for tour ? What % of house do they showyou etc ?

@@stephenpoole7828 the whole thing except for the private residence. Free tour.

Thanks for sharing!! No I haven’t. Would love to see that.

Just took mines this past November and it was AMAZING

It’s really such a great place to visit. I bet it looks amazing at night!

IT IS A RACIST NAME. WHITE HOUSE . WHY DID TRUMP INVESTIGATE ONE BLACK MANS BIRTH CERTIFICATE ?????? and this one BLACK MAN WAS THE ONLY BLACK TO BE PRESIDENT.

@@audreydunham4600 I was just commenting, on how amazing it would be to live in a house where all of the past presidents have lived. There was nothing racist about my post, so why does everything always have to turn into racism? Everybody needs to grow up, and share love not hate, regardless of your race. We ALL bleed red. And this is coming from a fifteen year old. 🤗

@@keyliegoodwin4170 Interesting fact if you didn't already know, but George Washington never actually lived in the White House. It was being designed/built during his presidency and during most of John Adam's presidency. Adams only lived there during the last year of his term. Even then, it was unfinished but habitable.

@@audreydunham4600 It wasn’t always called the White House until 1902 It was the Executive Mansion

@@keyliegoodwin4170 15 years old and a lot more mature then a lot of idiots on here. 👍

Hope you enjoy it!

It’s a very special place indeed

I know that Jackie Kennedy hired a famous interior design firm from NYC when she redecorated the White House in the early 1960s. Little has changed over the past 60 years. As a side note, I live in Missouri. In the late 1960s one of Missouri's first ladies hired the same interior design firm from NYC to redecorate the Missouri Governor's Mansion. It's like a mini-White House today and open for public tours too.

@@russbear31 that’s so cool to know. Wow

Wow that’s super cool and thank you for sharing!

@@DrGariS I always wondered what those were and then watching the KZfaq video of the Truman tour from 1952 he gave it away at the very end there. Looking them up online I’ve identified several of them. You can see Rhode Island and Massachusetts there and then the center seal in the three overhead carvings is Connecticut because of its unique oval shape. I’ve been to The White House tour 4 different times myself and I’m actually doing a full presentation on it in April.

U are So welcomed

Except that there's nothing "presidential" about the thug that you seem to support. The man who destroyed the sanctity of these great halls just by his vile presence.

@@jshanker2005 What has he destroyed? The democrats mess that he cleaned up by Obama and Biden?? Trump has made america great! Greater than it’s ever been in a long long time. Trump bought back manufacturing! Remember Obama the Disaster said that there needed a magic wand to bring manufacturing back? Remember that? Well we didn’t need a “Magic Wand” PRESIDENT TRUMP BOUGHT IT BACK! Obama gave millions and millions of americans the worst healthcare ever. Not affordable to the american people etc. Obama divided this country while in office. Obama made these young people like you idiots. You all democrats think all cops are bad and you burn the american flag and so much more. Obama taught you how to HATE THIS COUNTRY. I could list so many horrible things Obama and Biden did for this country. The Sleepy guy you want for President isn’t fit to be President! The man can’t even remember where he’s at! He clearly has dementia and needs serious help. But the man you want as President wants to raise your taxes, destroy jobs, defund the police, ban fracking! Banning Fracking means no cars, planes, electricity etc! Biden also wants to keep america shutdown from this fake china virus. He doesn’t want people to spend time with their families for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Birthdays, Weddings and all that! More people die of depression from sitting in their house because they can’t go anywhere rather than the China Virus. Just wait you have no idea what’s to come! Trump will be your President for another four more years!

@@FearlessTommo America's standing on the global stage, race relations, relations with neighboring countries like Mexico, inter-institutional relations... the list goes on. The man was a lying, egotistical maniac who was broke to boot. All he had to show was a trail of failed businesses.

@@jshanker2005 Trump didn’t do all that! That was Obama! He made Black people think that Whites or anyone are racist! If anything Trump has fixed that! If Trump was so racist then why did he help the black community so much? Why did he win the Black Vote this election? Trump also even won the latino vote this election aswell. But Obama was the one who put America standing on the edge!

It’s my pleasure! I’m glad you enjoyed it

I had to have permission and it had to be kind of discreet.

Of course - you’re literally walking through history and in the footsteps of some amazing and legendary people

@@DrGariS Some brilliant minds and ones that protected our laws!

@@sandyg202 and some who have broken them severely, including almost ending our democracy - yes!

@@DrGariS Absolutely true! We are much more fragile than we think! Pretty scary!!

@@sandyg202 sadly so! Let’s hope for no more repeats of the nonsense and stealing of democracy and gaslighting. Anyway, thanks for watching! 😊

So true

The neo-classical design you see in the Entrance Hall, Cross Hall, State Dining Room, and East Room date from Theodore Roosevelt's 1902 renovation. During the Truman renovation, all the historic interiors on the state floor (moldings, paneling, fireplace surrounds, etc.) were carefully dismantled, stored, and then reassembled in the rebuilt White House. The only thing that couldn't be saved were the plaster ceilings.

@@daniel_sc1024 that’s such great information - thank you so much.

I worked at the Truman library for two years. He had to do the renovation because a piano fell through the floor. He redid it with iron so it won’t ever fall down again

Keegan Maroney I’m glad you enjoyed! :-)

I am acutually learning a little bit about the White House, right now, through Designated Survivor. Chief of Staff, Political advisor. Although, a lot of the discussions had in the white house still make no sense to me.

Sounds great to me

This wasn’t about Trump at all. I definitely am FAR from a Trump supporter

Yes right was thinking the same

They do, all Western democracies but especially the USA and UK are required to allow citizens access to governmental building they own such as the UK Parliament or the Capitol Building. I would love to visit the USA and one day tour the White House and Congress, Though I live in Sussex on the south coast of England about 45 miles from London's center, I have yet to tour Parliament, there is a nice small garden attached to the side of it overlooking the Thames

@@shawntipton7398 No. Downing St is not open and Buckingham Palace is open for 2/3 months per year

@@DrGariS EEEE that's a shame

Secret service allowed me to

I am so glad that although you were not feeling well, you have a cherished memory and can say you were in this very special House.

You’re so welcomed. I wish my tour was a little better but I’m glad you enjoyed. I believe they will accommodate you if you can’t walk.

They provide wheelchairs if you're unable to walk

@@Fantastic_Strangeroooh I didn’t even know that - thanks for the comment

You’ll get there one day, I’m sure. It’s definitely worth visiting.

@@DrGariS probably not in my life time, I’m going to be 72.I try to watch all videos on the White House.thank you for responding.

You’re still young enough and you’re very welcomed. :) it’s always fun to poke around KZfaq. I have other vids you may like if you want to subscribe! :) Stay safe!

@@DrGariS thank you I will subscribe to your channel.

You’re a lovely lady. Thanks 🙏🏻

You’re so nice - thank you

Any time!

Amy Appleton Hi Amy. Good question. A lot of people were asking me as I exited the White House. You need to email your local Congress person. They will set it up for you. I would suggest doing it several months ahead of time.

@@DrGariS how does someone from the UK contact their local US Congress person?

​@@SimpsonLinux😂😂

The Jacqueline Kennedy Garden. Dedicated to her by Lady Bird Johnson. 😀

Thank you so much for that wonderful compliment - so happy you enjoyed!

The Rose Garden is on the other side, bordering the West Wing and Oval Office. When presidents hold outdoor news conferences/statements, it's in the Rose Garden. As correctly stated by gavinrobb85, what's shown in the video is the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, aka the East Garden.

The Secret Service was behind me and one of them said for me to go ahead and do it discreetly so I followed his directions.

Wow amazing info!

It’s a really great goal

Hey that’s such a nice comment - I really appreciate it so much

Wow, didn’t know the tour was that drastically different. Interesting and thanks for the comment.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. CAPTAIN M JOSEPHINE FONZO USAF* VET TREASURY ret

Chad Smith Definitely not on video

@@DrGariS Oh, but you do get to see it at least? Sweet! Thanks for the great vid btw. I think I'll get to see it next month. Very excited!

Chad Smith I did but obviously not on the video and it’s not connected with the public tours at all. You’ll have a great time when you see it, a lot of history and it’s really fun to be in such a historic building.

Yes, I was lucky enough to be told by somebody in the service at the White House. It was very nice of them.

How can the President live in peace with people touring the White House everyday?

Thanks for the information. How wonderful

It’s a very special and historical space!

YES!

That isn’t even remotely possible with a corrupt hair sniffer like joey marbles.

Amen!!

Love those islands

It’s gorgeous

Thanks for the cool comment - appreciate you

Tour not your

I think it IS accessible!

I know - so sad really

Subsequent first families found Jackie's decor style and taste too French despite it being so elegant and exquisite. The round tables in the state dining room which she introduced which also gave it a more personal and informal feel have been replaced by the straight long rectangle table and Rene Verdon, the French Chef she hired had a nervous breakdown when LBJ wanted Ribs served at state dinners!@@DrGariS

@@mja72so interesting. Then who knew from 2016-2020 we would have the trashiest and disrespectful people in there (to the office of the presidency). What a world!

Thanks for the nice comment

Gone now. It was redesigned under the Trumps term.

You can get in even if you’re from the UK! Sounds like your travel agent just didn’t know that.

@@DrGariS I know I can. However I was too late at applying as you need to write to the British console in D.C to get your tickets.

@@gavinrobb85 there are other ways also. :)

@@DrGariS are there? Do tell? 😀

I think that is the idea. Modesty is a virtue in a Republic. To have something ridiculous like Buckingham Palace for our president would have been an abomination to us. They deserve this only because we respect the OFFICE, but never the person.

Are you talking about Zachary Taylor? I was just in the last group and they were great with me. I had a private meeting with WH staff beforehand and they knew I was ok!

@@DrGariS Is that Taylor above the door? I can't match that painting, and the pics of Taylor either have him way older or younger, and I have awful facial recognition skills. That is so cool they allowed you such liberty, and that you respected it too of course. I am doing a science on lesson National Parks and my students picked the WH. I didn't even know it was a National Park until they did. Your video is part of my research, so I thank you for the care you put into making it. Those early presidents had great taste in good looking plates.

I believe that’s William Henry Harrison. Zachary Taylor was not well-groomed. His hair was shaggy and unkempt.

Yes I’ve seen a bit of it. I liked one with Jackie O

Hi from Los Angeles

Thanks for the nice comment

I was there in the 70s, don't remember if you could take pictures - I'm thinking not.

You just need to ask your local congressperson

I think so. I posted a few other videos on it.

After Trump, yes for sure! :)

That’s really interesting. I’m glad they have that there!

It’s a rewarding job. And on top of that I think they need to have a professional degree. Jeez, you would think they would pay them a good salary, but they don’t do it for the money I would imagine. It’s not THAT bad but they should pay more.

@@DrGariS Getting paid 80 to 100 grand a year within a few years of experience for just standing around and being more of a tour guide is a lot of money. Yes, we do honor their service. But, come on. They are not doing rocket science work. The CIA department that does have higher levels where they get paid up to 160 grand a year is more equivalent to higher pay and they do get a higher pay. But, the guards standing around the white house get paid well for what they do. The ones who should get paid more so they can survive and not end up homeless are the lower middle class and the poor. But, thanks to bought off politicians, the national minimum wage and state minimum salaries never keep up with soaring rents, food and other cost of living expenses.

Agree

I had permission

Go through one of your members of Congress

It’s really cool. :)

I'd love to go back. My parents took us there in 76, unfortunately I don't remember much. I do remember that I didn't see some of the rooms I would have liked to have seen.

Thanks for the sweet compliment. Not as good as your material I’m sure. Cheers from Greenland.

Nope, there’s no actual dress code. Jeans and a tee-shirt is ok! :)

If you need to ask…

Nothing - it’s the People’s house!

So wonderful!

$0

@@DrGariS OMG! All my taxes I pay and we still have to pay $0! Is there no relief? Hahahahha

I think the people of the USA owns this building!

@@maryellenshockexactly my point. Thank you.

I edited that part out. :/.

Maybe a skeleton or two, otherwise nothing much to see in the closet.

Usually that is the case but the secret service agent told me I can but to be discreet about it and I think he advised all the other agents!

@@DrGariS well, arent we special?

As a psychologist, I do truly believe everyone is special in their own way for sure! :)

I’m ridin with Biden

@@DrGariS me too

Email your congressman/woman and they will set it up. I’m not sure about now in COVID

Yes! Good comment

I was very lucky!

I just wrote to my representative, the Honorable Frederica Wilson as she represents my district.

@@DrGariS So Can I Contact in My Embassy At Washington DC For White House Tour Request.

Oh no. Must be in the Cult (your senator). The Lincoln bedroom is in the residence upstairs.

Awesome. Thanks for watching :)

@@DrGariS No problem

Thanks for the comment

Right? :). 😆

Wow, I didn’t know that about JFK’s funeral. What a sad moment in American history

Yup, 45 really did a number on it. 👍

Hopefully it will be completely disinfected and sanitized in January!

Oh…why’s that?

@DrGariS Well, bcuz it's a mansion that's pretty much on a king or queen's level, and a riverfront or riverrear would be very nice. It would also be nice if the president had a presidential yacht at the White House on that river that I'm imagining. Honestly, I feel like the White House is in a silly spot, minus the way they have it next to the mall. I think it would look better on the other side next to the river! Maybe where the Jefferson memorial is!

My best guess would be Eric & Don Jr leftovers!

@@DrGariS lol.... your got right... or maybe Hunter becuz he was there at the Casa Blanca the day the baggie was found but yet noooooo one saw that was there... the highest security in the world just got reduce to "Top Flight Security Guards of the World after that.... what clowns

I hear you. Thanks so much for watching

Elinin Körü it’s like his hands...

Beautiful 🤩

The president lives there actually!

I know, right?
