rves others joined sumner in his criticism. they would pay $2000 to hang this man in effigy, rather than $1000 to commemorate his efforts. later that year in a speech on the floor of the house in which he laid out his views on reconstruction policy, republican congressman thaddeus stevens of pennsylvania took an even stronger position against him. referring to his draft scott decision, stevens argued that the notion that america was a white man's government only was "as atrocious as the infamous sentiment that dammed the way chief justice to everlasting fame and accurately everlasting fire." a link the keys on his legacy published that year in the atlantic monthly, the author made clear that none of his other work on the court would matter. in comparison to his infamous decision in the case of dred scott. quote this i >> it will be the theme of the world and the theme of all who precipitated him will him buzz remembrance held in . for he did more than any other individual to extend the slave power." he went on to discuss his mo

now, other possible candidates than sumner emerged in 1864. pardon me if i'm trespassing on turf that's already been covered. but among the people who were touted as possible replacements for lincoln were, of course, treasure secretary chase and general freeman. now, when chase's ill-organized campaign for the republican nomination fizzled early on, fremont's campaign then became the standard. he became the standard bearer of the so-called radical democratic party. in may of 1864, a self-styled people's provisional committee issued a call for a national convention to meet in cleveland. endorsing the movement were several abolitionists including wendell phillips who complained old abe more cunning and slow than ever and evidently wish to slave slaveholders as much loss and trouble as he can. phillips thought that most voters would take lincoln if he would announce a policy still more if he would change his cabinet for such moves would indicate a man, but he is, i think, no believer in the negro as a citizen. the president wishes to benefit the

that is not coming from sumner and the radical wing. that is coming from some of these moderate conservative republicans who have become worried about the problem of could you have civil rights and civil law? many were not at all convinced in the 19th century you could have both. maybe a product of the 20th century that could have both but hard to look back and say their historical judgment was wrong in the basis of time. if you look at the 1870's or for that matter the 1950's it always strikes me we look upon the supreme court decision and the local organizing to get the supreme court decision in brown but are not very in love with the broad picture of what you see in little rock. the narrow picture of the girl being led by the hand. what you see around her are armed men in uniform. that they have no confidence the supreme court's orders would be obeyed even in this condition like that without the backing of force. it may well be that even in times, even in the post world war 2 20th century that rights would as of all people sumner sai

scott sumner is a leading light. he is huge influence on me. he now has a fairly wide following. he makes the point, it is simple but powerful. if you're looking at a monetary shocker in demand-side shock, you will see that in nominal gdp. if this is just about sure actual headwinds in the eurozone, supply-side factors, it doesn't really affect nominal gdp. nominal growth would look about normal and real gdp would be weak and inflation would be elevated. shock. a supply-side and eurozone, nominal growth flat on its back and inflation flat on its back. that is overly tight money. in of story. >> i want to go back to have the ecb has been consistent doing too little too late. part of the shock was it was a total surprise. some of the people did not expect it. the board was divided at the boj. does the easy bee have the capacity to take investors by surprise -- does the ecb have the capacity to take investors by surprise structurally? marketas close, but still had enormous reaction. consider the fact we saw big rallies in european equities and u.s. equities with the boj took that ac

, republican from massachusetts, went over to the senate with his buddy and clubbed senator sumner nearly to death. he disabled him for several years, that's how bad he clubbed him, and his fellow congressmen helped off would-be helpers at pistol point. now, that was a low. [laughter] you can't get much lower than that. anyhow, history has never been a strong suit of our progressive friends. but anyhow, missed in the hubbub over joe wilson's remark was the nature of his locution. he said -- he didn't say you're a liar, you're lying, a lie, he said "you lie." it was like an existential declaration of the man. five years ahead of time, before anyone else really caught on. and it's like, you know, astaire dances, sinatra sings, obama lies. it was that natural declaration. [laughter] that was missed. but, i mean, all presidents finesse the truth, many prime ministers lie about their -- many presidents lie about their personal lives, some more than others. [laughter] but only one has elevated the lie to the level of strategy. even bill clinton didn't do that and that, alas, is barack obama. wh

jessie sumner here. lots of the women that we know, eidith nourse rogers. all of these folks are here. they are businesslike. they are described as fabulously wealthy or 5'3" brunette, things like that that are placing them still -- it is a tricky position for them to figure out. in this transitional generation, 1941, it is going to continue to be a little bit complicated to figure out. once the war ends, it will get more complicated. in this case, it is kind of an interesting contrast. is on the phone taking care of business. over here we have margaret chase smith, who is tending flowers. and she has a wonderful fascinating, long career. pass signed byry margaret chase smith in 1941. gallery passes were often collected as souvenirs of trips to the capitol. and this was perhaps someone from maine visiting and would have been signed by one of the few women in congress at the time. >> this is a transitional time. and margaret chase smith embodies that. women in congress in the 1940's group they area serving in apprenticeship. they are slowly working their way

remember what i told you at fort sumner. life does not end. with that story, his father took his son, said, many times my father would be overcome with his burden of responsibility to the people. they need to keep our land. sometimes he would sit there all night long with a huge headache. we would make tea for him. by morning, he would have calmed down. i always think about what our ancestors had intended. that we would continue as a people and we would continue as a nation. that is what the stories mean to me, that is what i would like to leave you with. thank you. [applause] >> i want to move up to the podium. >> good afternoon. this book, nation to nation, the we contributed to, is making an important contribution to historiography. i think it does so more than any other fashion than either seen. the paradigm that i come from is that of an american indian studies scholar. i was trained as a historian. i hope to develop a more comprehensive view of looking at how they have struggled to maintain sacred ways of life that were given to them by

you've got sumner where former supreme court chief justice earl warren's dad worked for the southern pacific. and so anyhow, the whole intent of that is about high-speed train travel, bullet trains. do you think that first bullet train will be eventually built in california, and secondly, what country on earth is most progressive in terms of building very modern, high-speed rails in. >> very good. thank you. those questions are linked. yes, i am an absolute optimist. california is going to get this darn thing done. it's going to take a long time, probably not until 2035. it's going to cost upwards of $100 billion. it's expensive, but it's going to be an inspiration. it's not going to be a panacea, but it's going to show that this is a robust, durable method of technology. and the second part of that question, which nation is most progressive, hands down spain. they doubled down on investing in high-speed rails, and it absolutely destroyed the demand for domestic air flights within spain. it radically changed the aviation business in spain. but it caused more people to take internatio

i went to sumner. one of the poorest -- i live in one of the poorer zip codes in the state. i constantly live in the state of emergency. people walking down the street, i don't think that's a call for a state of emergency. if you look at the unemployment rate in missouri in the city, that's a state of emergency. look at homeless veterans who sleep at city hall, that's a state of emergency. not black and brown bodies hitting the floor chanting. i can't understand it. >> you know, i hear you and i can't even begin to understand what your experience is day-to-day. but i go back to a number that is sort of etched in my mind which is when we were covering the midterm elections and i talked to a lot of people in ferguson and st. louis. and i understand why you're frustrated, but i'm wondering why more people didn't vote, you know, that there's a lot of power in going out to the ballot box and voting for change. >> yeah. bob mccullough ran unopposed. he's the democrat. governor jay nixon, this is his last term. we had a county executive race with two people who never even came to t

sumner treaty of 1868 with the navajo. the geopolitical relationship between the parties in these two treaties couldn't have been different. any more different. they had just fought the war successfully and the us was suing for peace theachl had won. they had pushed the united states cavalry out. in fact, the conquest is the basis of all rights. they were in a strong position. by contrast, southern new mexico, the naf row were petitioning and were defeated. they were not at war. you think the treys would look very, very different, wouldn't you? if you are looking at geopolitical relationships, by contrast if you look at them closely, they look very much the same. they have similar provisions. if you look closely enough with a microscope, you can see maybe that the united states agrees to put it out of the country to in fact make sure that westerners are not settling. they got some of what they wanted out of it. in the terms of the treaty, 90% are alike. by 1868, for the most part, they are boiler plate. this by the way is

ray sumner joins me - come over here, if you could. he manages a lot of buildings. you manage this building here, that is in complete destruction. you just called the fire department about 35 minutes ago as the fire started up again. >> yes, i did. >> what has this been like for you over the course of the past three months? >> well, the owner of the property - this is not the only property they damaged. it keeps me busy to maintain and work on all the properties. it's frustrating because he puts a lot of people to work, a lot of - he opens a lot of businesses, he puts a lot of people to work. how many times can you come from this, after thousands and thousands of dollars. >> this building, which is a total loss. this beauty salon is a complete loss - they had 150,000 worth of damage this past august during the initial looting, and now it's gone. and you had the fire department spray down the other buildings so they did not reignite. how frustrating is this to see the community go down like this. >> last night i said at my house - i put a lot of work into the buildin

the treaty of 1868 with arapahoe ending red cloud's war, and the fort sumner treaty u of 1868 with the navajo. the geopolitical relationship between the parties in these two treaties couldn't have been any different. the allies had had just fought red cloud's war successfully and the united states was suing for peace. they had pushed the united states cavalry out of the country. in fact, if conquest is the basis of all right, you should all be speaking lakota today. but you're not. notice they were in a strong negotiating position in theory. by contrast, they had rounded up the navajo, marched them 300 miles to southern new mexico. the navajo were petitioning to go back to their homelands. they had been militarily defeated. they weren't at war at that point with the united states. you would think these treaties would look very, very different, wouldn't you, if you're looking at geopolitical relationships? by contrast if you look at them closely, they look very much the same, they are mostly boilerplate. they have very similar provisions. now if you look really closely enough with a mic

now, stone replied in good 19th century fashion by challenging sumner to a duel. the duel never took place, but instead republicans and congress decided that they would use their powerful political influence to go after stone's personal reputation and military career. stone was hauled before the congressional committee on the conduct of the war, but neither he nor his lawyers were told why he had been brought in. and on the committee's recommendation, he was arrested by secretary of war edmond stanton's order and sent to fort lafayette in hamilton and new york harbor where he was imprisoned for six months. a newspaper howled with glee. one newspaper reported, his punishment must be prompt. whether that punishment is military disgrace or a death that a traitor should have. think about that for a moment. here is a guy in uniform fighting against traitors in arms, but simply because he's not anti-slavery, the republican newspaper will say he should be executed for what he had done, which was perfectly legal, by the way, in october 1861. now, this incident took place

preston brooks, a congressman from south carolina, upset by the abolitionist talk from senator charles sumner in the republican from massachusetts went over to the senate with his buddy and clubbed senator some near near the to death, disabled and for several years. his fellow congressman would be helpers' at pistol point. that was a low. you can't get much lower than that. but history has never been the strong suits of our progressive friends. missing the hubbub over joe wilson's remark was the nature of this. he did not say you are a liar or that is a lie, he said "you lie!". was like an existential declaration of the man. five years ahead of the time before anyone else,. sinatra sings, obama lies, that natural declaration. >> you can watch this and other programs online at booktv.org. here is a look get the latest news about the publishing industry. on monday amazon's crowds west publishing platform kindles count allowed the public to begin nominating manuscript they wish to see published. amazon will review the voting after 30 days and if the manuscript is selected the author will receive

press ton brooks, nearly killed charles sumner on the senate floor, nearly caned him to death. there's a darker side to american politics. a violent said. a turbulent side. out of which greatness came. i'm trying to figure out a way that we could have really good but not great without some of these nation-enculp bering crieses and without the kind of trauma that has so shaped our country's history. >> let's the conversation begin. at the verymer. >> thank you.

as you know, the administration took steps of its own this sumner consultation with congress, including visa restrictions on violators of human rights, but we would look forward to working with you to go further. i think there is still an opportunity to try to get a reformed electoral commission that brings the opposition onto the commission that has congress do that before it gets pushed to the supreme court, where, of course, nothing will happen. i think that's worth a shot and i'd lake to be able to work, if confirmed, with you on that. i would also say that your agencies actually right. maduro is going to have increasingly difficult problems delivering for his people. he needs oil to be at about $85 a barrel. and it's, of course, lower than that in order for him to make good on his social contract. that's not happening, so i think the squeeze is getting tougher and tougher. last thing i will say on this, my cousin went to school with leopold lopez, i hear from her regularly about his status and what we are doing to help him. >> senator corker? >> thank you, mr. chairman, i, too, wan

ray sumner works on behalf of shop owners. >> this property has been hit three times. >> three times down here and how many times are you going to take, you know, the abuse from it before you say enough is enough. >> the owner of this beauty supply store spent $150,000 rebuilding after looting in august. it burned to the ground monday night. how does this munt move forward? >> we've all got to stick together and come together as one. >> reporter: this community is emotionally broken. it is physically broken. just look at the burned down gas station behind me. these damages are prevalent all across town. it's going to take months if not years for this community to recover. and the healing could take even longer. chris and michaela. >> thank you so much. it was a strong image to see the hands linked together like this. u want to turn to the legal aspect of this. the legal process in the michael brown shooting certainly far from over. two federal investigations are ongoing and the threat of a civil suits looms as well. let's bring in danny cevallos and joey jackson. thanks for joining u
