The White House Situation Room: no room defines American power and its global role better. For more than 20 years, George Stephanopoulos, on shows from This Week to Good Morning America, has reported on the most important crises that have been confronted from within this famed nerve center. In a live taping of the CNN podcast The Axe Files with David Axelrod, Stephanopoulos takes us inside this secretive room to learn the truth about presidential crisis management and some of the critical decisions to come out of the Situation Room.
