he is literally hunting washington and washington is literally running and hiding. so he is using the fabian tactics, he is using it because he wants to maintain the army. when the situation is in his favor, such as here crossing the delaware, he is able to spring these elaborate, difficult night crossings of the river where he attacks and keeps and preserves the war getting the americans this big moral boost at a time when commissions are running out. it is from fighting this war fighting defensively rather than being ultra-aggressive. the idea of the older model of attack, attack, attack. washington is going to view the army very differently. he is going to say i should hope every post would be deemed honorable which gave them an opportunity to serve his country. by this, he needs soldiers and officers. anyone can serve. he also expands it to anyone in the military and that could be civilians providing food and clothing. it could be women taking collections to feed the army. it could be even african- americans who were joining the army to serve in a variety of cap

aboutformation she gives washington, george washington and marsha -- martha washington revolves around religion because it was clear she became very religious at the -- during her life as a fugitive. church was where she became literate. we are not certain if she could write or not but at least could repeat it she talked more about religion. she talked about a desire to go to the granddaughter. she talked about the fact that she never regretted this decision but she didn't give us the kind of intricacies of what was going on, and i find that kind of fascinating. she lived with them for so long. she knew everything. she witnessed the difficult moments, but she never went there. she didn't give up that kind of personal information. she takes a few jabs the washingtons, but give her a break. she was a slave, fugitive. she has the right to put in some jabs. she questioned whether or not george washington was really religious. she say i never saw him pray. he went to church but didn't pray. so i think that's a different kind of understanding about religion from her viewpoint, but she doesn'

a madison washington was an enslaved man. he was sold at auction in richmond and put onto a slave ship. many were sold from virginia slave markets and sent to the deep south to work the cotton fields. that was probably what madison washington's intended fate was. except that during the voyage from richmond to new orleans, madison washington led a mutiny on board the creel. -- the creole. they broke out of the cargo hold. they commandeered the ship, and they sailed to the bahamas which was a british territory. time, slavery had been abolished in the british empire, so madison washington and his conspirators knew that if they got to british waters or got to british territories, they had a good chance of becoming free. became anent international sensation and it caused a diplomatic furor between american slaveholders who wanted what they consider their property back in the british government that decided to free both of the 135 enslaved people who had been on board the creole including madison and washington. when madison washin

why not have a mural class at george washington high school. it is possible to do individual murals. i would like george washington high school students doing their murals. you can make them about the size, and they can do response murals and these can be exhibited. if one of our young adults feels the need to respond personally to one of these barrels to empower themselves, they can do a response mural. there is many ways we can empower our youth, but simply covering up a factual truth, about history, is not empowering. in fact, this gives the mural power over them. it hides it, buries it and therefore gives it unconscious power over someone. this does not empower our young adults.

washington. when they got married martha dandridge custis became martha washington in george washington adopted jackie and patty as his own. he and martha never had children of their own but george washington had no natural born errors. they do not move the washington family which is across the potomac river, mount vernon. he raised them as his own. throughout the 1760s and 1770s until war called. he went off to command the continental army. martha and by then teenage jackie and patty were sometimes with him but unfortunately patty passed away as well at the age of 13. she suffered from epilepsy which in those days was something that could claim one life in a moments notice. martha and george were despondent. george soldiered on, leaving our nation to victory in the revolutionary war in 1781 at the battle of yorktown. what was a great time for our nation, winning our independence from the british, was yet another moment of tragedy for george in washington. for george and martha because jackie at

very much present in washington d.c. these days i think so. maybe do you with the means of their policies whichever is the policy do you mean what it is you want to do you want to go to jam jenkin you out why she suddenly become friends with them with the russians the previous republican candidate for president said many times russia is our deepest bright most powerful and most dangerous enemy this is you know a guy who was running for president before trump many people in congress sit there and say like lunatics we've got to fight the russians there are terrible terrible enemy russians and how do you know me of the united states we should be doing everything we can with them and we should be with the chinese people in washington have no clue about that world ok i see earl you're nodding your head in agreement why go ahead. absolutely i think china and russia are not enemies of the us whatever maybe they are there are challenges on the economic side with china but it's cartesian. gemini that's a competition really it's competition and i think

in fact there is a great story shortly after he arrived in washington from the washington post. woman cames up at a reception and says i love your book. you are a household name and saying i'm out with my father and says she says you are much too modest and the article in the post and the headline was holmes side. now i've already forgotten your second question. lincoln? he told several in particular louis einstein many years late later, like many people from massachusetts had a very low opinion. i thought of myth was constructed. but i have since read things that made me realize i was probably wrong about that. >> i have a question after he was nominated but before he was confirmed he went around boston to say farewell and did one at the tavern club band in that address he was given a resume of his life and said talking about the civil war it was perhaps the great war experience of his life and then said perhaps a greater more experience was the first ten years of a profession becoming a lawyer. what are your thoughts quick. >> a consistent strain in his view was using the mili

if the republican party in washington, i think the states in washington, but the republican party in washington does not as a vow his racist tirades, they will go down in massive defeat in 2020. i saw this happen in the nixon year when a lot of people, very honorable republicans who engaged in the draining effort of defending richard nixon all year long and then it turned out when the tapes were released he had been lying to the american people about everything, they all lost. no questions asked. one was from iowa i believe. that will happen next year if they do not disavow his racism. my answer to your question is yes, he is a racist. the first thing i said when i heard about will heard is i hope you can hang on to scout. how peopleed about are keeping quiet. wait until thel moment is right. frankly, it will depend on me getting some air beneath my wings in terms of publicity and electoral progress at the national level. i am not just going to get out too early and advance my interest. >> how we are responsible is the president for people taking up , [indiscernible] mr. weld: i hold

the alliance to preserve the civil war defense of washington. those are all the forts built around the nation's capital at the beginning of the civil war to protect us from confederate attacks, and it worked until 1864, when it confederate general came up from the north and was stopped, fortunately, for a day, but then they did come down. -- fortunately, that delay gave grant time to send troops from petersburg to re-man the fort, so fort stevens was re-manned. all of the forts were and all around the city, they were in play during the battle. know, there was a real fort there, not just a metro station and they had the biggest cannon, and fort slocum over in manor park, that was the first shot, we are told, was from fort slocum. and then of course, fort stevens here, and then fort lucy often military road on the other side of the park. that was an important part of the battle. the highest part of washington, d.c., based off -- there was a tower on top of that, a union signal tower -- and they saw the dust of the confederate soldiers marching dow

david in washington if i start with you. do we need to keep that in the back of our minds a fact that that very last piece of the puzzle could get for in fact probably will fall in a couple of years well you know i'm not sure i mean the fact that you've had to withdraw from the i.m.f. which is always been a european centric thing as a matter fact the impetus for it was helmut schmidt when he was a chancellor that may be seen as enough to address this issue and people might have a wait and see and the other thing is you know there's an election between now and then by february of 2021 john bolton could be a private citizen his opinion could be worth about as much as mine so you know i wouldn't i wouldn't pin too much on that it's worth it's worth watching but it's not worth watching like say a predator drone watches an area of interest ok quick final thought from you there is a probably going to be where it plays out. well i think is going to very hard to replace it with something else simply given the new distribution of pow

why did you decide to narrow it down to washington, d.c.? and why not give yourself a more narrow window of time? >> well, we wrote about d.c. because there was a need. there were a lot of new residents to the city that wanted to know what they were getting into. a lot of older residents who felt the old city slipping away and wanted to understand, make sure other people knew the story. and there hadn't been a good book on race in washington, d.c. in about 50 years. and so we wanted to philamena void. the reason we made it 400 years is because most of the books about the city neglected some of the really important racial populations in the city. in particular the native american population. so we wanted to start in the historical beginning, the first time we have written records in washington, d.c. and that was in 1608 when john smith came up the potomac river from jamestown and went to the native american village on the banks of the and a costia river. >> let's focus on the early american period. and what was the racial makeup in the nation

how do you see washington playing a constructive role in making that vision a reality. >> washington in the past had a united iraq by all iraqis and run by all iraqis. washington also can help us to build a stronger institution. if we have the latest branch in regions. a stronger court system and judicial system and institution this can talk together and a more stable relation based on personal relations. washington has put in the past -- they are forced to talk to each other. that is a shortsighted policy. it doesn't work for that time and we have seen that. in a couple months they were saying we are brothers and after two month fighting each other, accusing each other of corruption, that is not going to work. it is not helpful. the best way to help both regions is strong institutions and play a part in that. and the coexistence that is impossible. we have the majority and the minority, the democratic arrangement, keep fighting each other for another century and that is enough. washington's role is improving institutions and helping iraq which they are doing to civil society and in

s helena humphrey joins me from washington d.c. to both of you welcome let me start with you berlin says no to washington has there been any reaction from the trumpet district. not as of yet brant and i wouldn't expect there to be any swift reaction for the simple reason that it's the idea of not dignifying that no move from berlin that slap in the face with a swift response just you know writing it off as small fry because i think at the end of the day there is now the sense here in washington that the united states will go ahead with it this naval mission where the burden is on board or whether but it is not on board as we are now say seeing i think the problem for the german government may likely have been in terms of the wording the devil is in the detail i think and that request from the united states because the united states called on berlin to secure shipping in the strait of hormuz but they also called on them to combat iranian aggression were of course then germany to give into that i'm essentially they would have been co

to be cleverly dissecting the cult of washington to have the worship of washington the first and most important trait was to empathize his fate and next the whole stature 6-foot three and it was evident in his elegant form and his graceful movements and as a man of few words adams joked his fellow virginians adored him because the geese are all swans. and even more than genius we know it to be true as well voters take manufactured qualities in character and adams suffered in comparison to washington and acquired the nasty nickname of a label started with vice president used in the election of 18 hundreds. political gamesmanship by the time the second adams entered a contest. in 1824 win then secretary of state john quincy adams is seeking the presidency they captured the foot race into this day of a presidential portrait this is relevant even tonight with the kentucky derby. john quincy adams is the head and with a military uniform coming up fast standing at the front of the crowd cheering on his son while spectators place wages on the outcomes. this is democracy at its worst in the s

did not show washington praying in the snow, instead he showed washington in his office -- and his officers dressed in spotless winter clothing, talking to enlisted men dressed in rags. on the ceiling above those two murals is a moon, what you said at the time was his depiction of war. in the alcove on the opposite side of the upper hall we have peace, we have washington eating his officers farewell, including lafayette, indicate -- indicating the importance of foreign assistance during the revolution. opposite this one we have washington as president, mediating between hamilton and jefferson over how to implement the new constitution, which is on the table in front of them. the ceiling of this alcove presents the sun and rainbow, which iltv said was his depiction of peace. so these two opposite alcoves show war and peace. this is the banner that introduces the alcove showing peace, and if you can read it, i can't read it from here myself, but i will let you read it. the third alcove shows washington bidding farewell to his mother, who was dying of cancer, he was reluctant to leave her, but

we know in washington, d.c. a lot about the two major parties in kurdistan and we had a good idea of some of the new parties that go around. what can you tell us about the future? what is it? it came after the elections. this is one of the ways where iraqi politics, once you form a coalition and enter the elections and that is just to get seats and get negotiation power -- but the true negotiation power and the true action happens when the groups and blocs that are formed under the ceiling of the parliament and that is where the action works. so what is this group? is it a new group? what are the new plans? what are you trying to accomplish by forming it? a policy perspective. mr. shamsulddin: exactly. our view on disputed areas and the future of baghdad, i will talk about that, but if you will allow me to go back to the history a little bit. the kurdish political parties, the kurdish democratic party, after like 15 years, there were two groups of people within the kdp. the groups were called the educated and yo

"the washington post" wrote this. officials in the white house at the treasury department and throughout the administration are planning no new steps to attempt to stave off a recession. rather, trump's economic advisers have been delivering the president upbeat assessments in which they argue that the domestic economy is stronger than many forecasters are making it out to be. is this going to come back and bite the president? >> well, i got to -- >> there are certain eventualities for which you want to have a plan in place. >> i put everybody in a dark place right now which is inside the president's brain. everybody made fun of him when he decided to get into this race. up until the very last day of the campaign everybody told him he was going to lose, including the rnc, including most people on his staff with the exception of one or two kool-aid drinkers and now he is the president of the united states. if you're somebody like donald trump who got bad news, bad news, bad news, made fun of, made fun of, made fun of,

the story our guest referenced from the washington post, pictures from those lives lost. politicians started their summer break. by the time it concludes, what is the likelihood this issue will be front and center then? guest: that is exactly right. with this president and this trump era, where it seems like we go through 10 different news cycles in the course of one week, we have four weeks remaining of this congressional recess and that is a long time before congress reconvenes in washington and starts to begin to have a real, genuine debate about gun reforms. everyone is sort of scattered in their respective districts. 40 lawmakers were on a weeklong trip to israel led by steny hoyer and kevin mccarthy. members are on vacation. everyone is dispersed around the world during this recess. the real test will be what happens, whether there is any sort of momentum that is able to be preserved after this long four week recess and my earlier it seems like the media and the american public has often been distracted in afterrump by controversy controversy. it will be a real test
