four prongs will attack the trend, they are taking to the delaware river on the main prong. all of them fail and the marvel headers have the skill to cross the delaware river which is filled with ice which is fast-growing. nothing is going according to plan. all of the other prongs to washington's offense have failed but the marvel headers get the army across intact at least one portion of it. the other 3 failed. that night they are behind schedule, 12 miles above trenton and have to march through sleet and snow into trenton. much of the army at this time is barefoot. there tracks are filled with blood and snow that they push forward. the marvel headers are leading part of the elements, they push down toward the southern portion of trenton and this is a very very important point. without orders they attack a key bridge known as the absentee bridge, they capture the bridge along with the guard and set up a series on the high ground while the rest of washington's army is attacking. during most 18th-century engagements both sides battle it out and one side is not doing well, th

but if he's going to be working from home in delaware, that's fine. what's he working on? is he working on afghanistan? the white house could be much more transparent about what actual work he is doing. >> kayleigh: dagen and there is the curious movements of the white house, going back to delaware, he was only in the white house for 48 hours so he's going back. then we learn he's only going to be in wilmington for one day before moving to camp david. it's kind of curious presidential movement. we have a sound bite to that effect. jen psaki was asked about it. let's play it. >> this whole going back to wilmington, camp david, back to wilmington. is there something to that? >> certainly not. it's just his travel logistics plans. >> going to leave wilmington for the weekend and go to camp david? >> i'm sorry. >> why not just stay in wilmington? >> he likes camp david. a place to be outside, spend time with family. certainly has a beautiful scenery there. go ahead. >> dagen: i guess being at camp david, they think the american people will think he's working? i don't know. you

the marvel headers are basically taking the army across the delaware river. the other three prongs are also going forward. all of them fail except for the marvel headers. only the marvel headers had the skill to cross the delaware river which is filled with i.c.e. fast flowing. there is a nor'easter that night. nothing is going according to plan. all of the other prongs that lead to washington defense has failed. the marvel headers are able to get the army across, intact. at least one portion of it. the other three failed. that night, they are behind schedule. about 12 miles above trenton. they have to march through sleet and snow into trenton much of the army at this time is barefoot. they are literally, their tracks are filled with blood in the snow. but they push forward. the marvel headers are leading part of the element. they push down towards the southern portion of trenton. this is a very, very important point. without borders, they attack a key bridge. they capture the bridge along with the guard. and then they set up a series of canons on the high gr

and from there, the army sales back across the delaware thanks to the marblehead men . and it's unfortunately a little bit worse than the trip over because the men had captured the wrong supply and it was a drunken cruise back over and it's some of the men felt over but they captured most of theregiments . they captured a large fan of arms and many cannons and then it sets up a week later, roughly a week later the second battle of trenton. where washington doesn't necessarily want to fight but his hand is forced by a militia group, philadelphia associate others which go over a little bit early without borders and washington decides to reinforce them and they hold a key bridge against all odds . half the marblehead regiment, maybe a little bit more, it's hard to tell stays with washington. the other group is exhausted and they go back to marblehead but that group stays and fights at the battle of princeton and they change the course of history. the 10 crucial days that changed the course of history in these three battles and it's the marbleheaders that are in the four th

he -- from delaware. he is the chair of a lot of work that pent into this package -- went into this package. he and senator capito from west virginia worked together on a bipartisan basis. and my recollection is in the underlying bill that we pick up in the broader bill passed with a vote of 22-0 out of his committee and that's because they did good work in finding out where there was common ground and, frankly, the american people deserve to have good roads and bridges and infrastructure to drive on, travel on so it's a big part of this bill and i thank him for his work on that. we have now voted twice to proceed to this very important legislation to finally after a lot of years of talking about it make a major improvement to our nation's roads, bridges, railroads and ports, electric infrastructure, grids and more. it is overdue. and i'm delighted to say that twice now we have voted to proceed to final passage. one was a vote of 66-28, the other was a vote of 67-27. and, frankly, there were a couple of p

guest: let's hear from kathy -- host: let's hear from kathy in delaware. caller: i will speak to the situation in delaware -- is 1% the fault of kearney and kunz not informing the public that there are funds available to them. they could do a public service announcement. the only way you can find out about the agency for assistance is if you physically go to court, or via zoom. some people do not have the ability to go online. they realize they don't have the ability to go to court at that time. they may find out from the judge there is money available. when the court papers are filed, there could be an announcement in that packet that says there is an agency available to the public. it is 100% their fault, and the landlords are being held hostage , and what i have sent to them -- i have been fighting this for a year and a half, of course, and the landlords are saying i don't want to deal with this anymore. i just sell -- they are selling my crazing. that reduces the availability of rentals. the democrats in delaware are shooting themselves in the foot bec

and from there the army fills back acrosscr the delaware and it's unfortunately a little bit worse than the trip over because the men had captured the room supply and it was a drunken cruise back over and several men fell over but they captured the regiment in a stand of arms and many cannons and then the second battle of trenton. where washington doesn't know necessarilyy want to fight but his hand is forced by a militia group the philadelphia and washington decides to reinforce them and they hold the key bridge against all on, half the marblehead regimen may be less or a little bit more is hard to tell, stays with washington, the other group is exhausted and they go back to marblehead but the group that stays fight at the battle of princeton and they change the course of history, the ten crucial days they change the course of history in the three battles, is the marble headers that are in the fourth that make a difference but the story doesn't end there. what i meanha by that, it's a marblehead or that saves the army and not get to that story in a minute the first i want to get throug

does this look safe to you, joe biden, as you make your way back to delaware? would you want one of your loved ones outside of that airport, behind enemy lines, getting pistol whipped, getting beaten, getting shot, or just in fear of all of the above? look at your screen. these are afghan families literally passing their babies over a wall, covered with razor wire, begging the british to take their children, because they know that their children will be murdered by the taliban if they don't get inside of that airport. think how desperate a mother or father would have to be to do such a thing, but they do it because that's all they think they can do to save their kids. because they know what the taliban is all about it, and how they treat people. now, there is no safe passage, not for the afghan people, not for americans, not for the allies, not for the interpreters that we promised we would protect, and now we are witnessing what is one of the biggest hostage situations in the history of the u.s. and the biggest military debacle in the history of the u.s., and

or as we say in delaware, carper diem. it is fair to say there is also much we can and will do to invest in our nation's highways, roads andur bridges. our surface transportation authorization actra increases baseline for funding our surface transportation programs by more than arf third to $303 billion over the next five years. $303 billion. on top of that, the legislation will provide over $60 billion in new funds for roads, bridges and multimodal programs over these five years. this investment will repair and rebuild our roads and bridges with a few focus on -- new focus on climate change mitigation, resilience and -- including cyclists and pedestrians. every day motorists cross bridges in poor conditions in too many parts of you our county 170 million times. every day. every day. 170 million times a day. some 40% of the bridges in our country are in need of repair or replacement including nearly 500 in massachusetts, 3,000 in pennsylvania and god knows more in our states as well. at the current pace, it would take near

many of you watching at home are like the folks that grew up with me and straighten, in delaware, they feel left out in an economy that is rapidly changing. i understand. but we are going to leave no one behind. nearly 90% of the jobs created in our infrastructure plan do not require a bachelors degree. and when we invest in our info structure, we will buy american products, american materials and services from american businesses made in america by american workers. and we are going to do everything in our power to encourage and protect the right of workers to unionize and collectively bargain. the bottom line, we are proposing a blue-collar plan to rebuild america. that is what it will be. and we need automakers and other companies to keep investing in america. we need them not to take their benefits of our investments and expand production abroad. we need to continue paying good wages, support local communities across the country. that's why i am proud the uaw is standing here today as well. that's why i am proud that the three largest employers are sitting here, and the sector is s

jon: i from delaware thank you. for more on is that spring in tennessee senator haggerty from the foreign relations committee. we just heard that clint from majority leader chuck schumer. telling senators they want to move along her he wants to move along. it doesn't sound like you are very popular in the u.s. senate right now. >> tennesseans did not elect me to be the most popular but to stand up for their interest. i will point this out. it senator schumer said was not borne out today. i offered a full package of amendments for the body to vote on. i can vote on them right now and so are my colleagues. the democrats objected to that. that is their true intent. they are trying to rush this through that was evident on thursday night when i stopped this. they found out they had a terrible budget score over a quarter of a trillion dollars in the hole but they been saying all along this would be paid for. it's not. they missed it by a long shot. one quarter of a trillion dollars in the red and then to pass this in the

the delaware and the treaty of fort finney in 1786, dealing with the shawnees. ultimately, congress came to recognize that these treaties were all so problematic, they tried to organize a single treaty meeting in 1789 that would bring together representatives of all the ohio indians in one mass gathering. there was one signed document. from the native americans who attended, they said it was chaotic and undeterminative. again, they contested the outcome. so in that context with those failed treaties in the background, from 1787 until 1784, the united states was back at war with the ohio indians. this was a war that really was the first military undertaking of the new united states army. the first function of the u.s. army was to try to defeat this coalition of ohio indians, which the united states had failed to bargain with in the form of treaties, and which the united states really needed to get out of the way if it was going to proceed with its western land enterprise. arthur st. claire was the first commander of american forces in the ohio country. he did not

the presiding officer: the senator from delaware. mr. carper: mr. president, i ask that the quorum call be vitiated. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. carper: mr. president, i just want to say -- i was almost at a loss for words and i know i'm not standing where i normally stand as a result. this week you gave your first speech, your first speech and i -- not everybody was able to hear it. a lot of people, democrats and republicans were here. i just want to say again how much i enjoyed it. old navy guy and not so old navy guy, we're very proud of your service in uniform and also proud of your service here. delighted that you're a member of our environment and public are works committee as we have done really good work. and thank you for your help and contributions. i have a couple of unanimous consent requests. mr. president, i ask unanimous consent to submit to the record a list of studies presenting a strong basis of evidence for the conclusion that discrimination against minority and women-owned businesses continues to affect the cons

my state has lost as much land as is in the entire state of delaware. but other states are losing land, too. i thought picture recently recently of the gold coast, the very swank area in the city of chicago on lake michigan, and it showed how the coastline had eroded over time and now weighs from lake michigan are lapping up onto the road in front of the scary expensive apartment complexes. this is not on the atlantic, the pacific for the gulf of mexico. this is on a great lake. i saw another picture of the beach off of north carolina which in the last 150 years has restated, i think it's 500 feet. it's a homes formatted this in view of the water, now have waves coming up to the lawn. that is happening nationwide. no place more than my state in louisiana. this bill makes a significant investment in coastal erosion and protecting the people who live on the coast lines. it will create jobs as this is addressed. it will increase the safety of those folks who live in such areas. it gives a better future for our country. $65 billion for broadband. broadband.

that will come to the oval record. delaware is nicknamed, the golden boy will be up against you. f. c champion veto belford the 6 weight division champion, retired 13 years ago. he was beaten by many pac. you and your, you're going to go for the fact that i have wanted to fight for a long time since i retired. i wanted to fight again. i think the fear of failure, the fear of confessing myself. i can't do it. i think that's what was kind of blocking me. the new yankee use, hot streak is showing signs of ending, but now 111 in a row. and that happens to be the longest winning streak. and 36 years later, when came against the atlanta braves on tuesday, b j la may used to run home in the 5th inning. one of the highlights in a fine for when for new that's always full scene for them all coming up again late in the sunday. thanks so much pisa. well, that is it for me to pay for this news out, but don't go away. i'll be back in just a couple of minutes with much more of the days news here on here. say with the me in a kale of q presidents, venezuelan, military defectors, me american math, a

so emily, a professor of energy and the environment at the university of delaware, he's also a former advisor on environmental and social impact assessment to the deep sea mining company, known as deep grain and in boston, massachusetts science journalist daniel ackerman, welcome to everyone. daniel, i'm going to start with you with the most basic question. explain to us what deep sea mining is. yes. so dp mining is basically the extraction of mineral resources from the bottom of the ocean. and there are a number of different ways that it could work, but one of the most common proposals is to collect these resources called poly metallic nodule. so these nodules form over millions of years at the bottom of the ocean and they're really rich and cobalt nickel, copper and manganese. a lot of these metals that we could potentially use for electric car batteries or wind turbines, things that will fuel the green economy. and so one of the more common proposals for, for getting the nodules which can be miles below the surface on the, on the sea floor is basically to do the kind of vacuum clea

let's get to jasmine wright, live in wilmington, delaware, traveling with the president. jasmine, things expected to heat up again on capitol hill in a few hours, right? >> reporter: that's right exact thely right. president biden is one step closer to victory but he is not there yet. now that the senate has cleared that additional hurdle, the senate is back today with that rare weekend session trying to finish up on his would-be bipartisan infrastructure plan, trying to move it closer to those final stages. but yesterday on the senate floor after they took that vote, biden ally and delaware democrat tom carper summed up the mood perfectly when he quoted winston churchill. >> he said, it's not the end. this is not the beginning of the end. he said this is the end of the beginning. and while we are grateful to everybody who voted, it's not the end. but it takes us a step closer to the end. i just want to thank everybody who came in, took the time to get here to vote. we are prepared to take the next step. >> reporter: so there you see that rare senate floor camaraderie amo

we were presenting it as a britain as a new delaware, but install this joe biden, after all his going for this global corporate tax rate. sure, you are celebrating that agenda yellen announcing the global minimum corporation tax, or will it just encourage companies to go to countries that don't have it? i do celebrate this deal. is it perfect? no. it better than anything i could have imagined 7 months ago when you might remember, we had a president trumped in the white house. this was going to be impossible at that time. now we're talking about the possibility of actually having a us lead. but international coalition of a $130.00 nation states agreeing to set up a minimum global tax rate that 15 percent now. barrel cap. yes. caveat thought the applies to some very large companies. it is going to by large pay the additional taxes to countries like the usa and the u. k. and not to the developed countries of the world that may well need that money more than you can. the usa do right now take the time when they are under stress as well, and measures in this be able to tackle the tech comp

president biden canceled his weekend trip to wilmington, delaware, and instead remains at the white house where he is monitoring hurricane henri and that developing situation in afghanistan. now, an official tells me the president will be briefed throughout the day on hurricane henri and the storm's trajectory, but he already started preparations on saturday. the president held a phone call with governors from northeastern states and joining him in that call in the oval office was the fema administrator, deane chriswell, where she outlined the steps fema has been taking heading into the storm, including deploying about 700 response personnel and also providing supplies to the regional like generators and food and tarps. and overnight president biden approved an emergency declaration for the state of rhode island. it is possible we could see more of those types of emergency declarations as the day progresses, as states submit requests for those to be conducted. but right now so much of the president and the federal government's efforts are trying to ensure that these states have resources

in delaware. the second of defense did not approve of president trump leaving the kurds naked in syria. he quit. for general austin to serve as long as he did and for him to do this and follow orders and not speak up is inexcusable. admiral kirby knows better. he said it's no big deal. guess what happens? as we speak they are being burned alive and married off to the taliban and giving up and running for the hills. not because they have no courage. because they have no leadership. their leaders were trained. left them at the doorstep. we left without any plan and left irresponsibly and china is giggling. we look as bad as the rustsians when they ran for the hills in the 1980s. >> that's why we should not have gone there in the first place. >> we went there 20 years ago. it's a great example of how we are lied to. we were told if we left all of the kurds would die. we are war wary. you for jail. you are trying to stay awake. the moment you fall asleep someone will take your shoes. do we stay awake

us presidentjoe biden is en—route to dover air force base to receive ——in delaware to receive the bodies of us service members killed in afghanistan. the united states national security adviser, jake sullivan, has said "relevant terrorist groups" in afghanistan do not possess advanced ability to plot attacks abroad. the first of our reports comes from our political correspondent, jessica parker. landing back in the uk, one of the last british planes to leave kabul. these troops widely praised. they helped evacuate more than 15,000 people. that as the taliban took over. borisjohnson says the government will engage alongside allies with the regime the uk helped topple 20 years ago, in a statement released by downing street this morning. if the new regime in kabul wants diplomatic recognition or to unlock the billions that are currently frozen, they will have to ensure safe passage for those who wish to leave the country, to respect the rights of women and girls, to prevent afghanistan from again becoming an incubator for global terror. thousands got out, british nationals and afghans who w
