thompson. i don't think any relation. the batey slaves were two more times as the plantation passed to batey's heirs. he sold it to the barrow families and the barrows sold it to the norfolks in 1856. so on the eve of emancipation, a portion of the maryland jesuit slave community was in the possession of a woman named emily norfolk. she was the widow of one of the most infamous domestic slave traders in american history. the records allow us to trace many, but not all, of the maryland jesuit slaves into the era of emancipation. some of them and their children appear in the 1870 census. once you can find people in the 1870 census, it becomes much easier to trace them through the standard methods of genealogy. the problem is that for many african-americans who are trying to trace their ancestors back to the days of slavery, 1870 becomes a brick wall. because the census didn't identify enslaved people by name. just their owners. there are these slave schedules in the 1850, 1860 census that actuall

john english, he and tommy thompson are the architects of that idea. i don't know how long it took from, you know, passing that bill to michigan, putting it in place, and getting it on the ground. >> [ inaudible ]. >> yeah. i mean, i think today -- >> you better get started. >> right. it takes time. >> and it's at the senate, the graveyard? >> i can think of a few other words. no, they're a patient system. we can move pretty fast. we play rugby, they play golf, you know what i mean? that's the analogy i use. but i do believe we have a good plan. and a lot of this should be bipartisan. a lot of this stuff does not need to be us against them. this does not need to be the packers versus the bears. but this doesn't have to be so partisan. i'm hoping that's not the case. the tax reform, obamacare, i understand there are ideological differences. that is what it is and that's fine. but on a lot of these things, i think we're just getting hopefully to common sense of what it takes to get these things done. >> we can close out on common sense. you've got your h

of tennessee, ranking member john glenn, and the question before us 20 years ago was the involvement of the government of china in the clinton-gore campaign. we spent months in public hearings on that question. because of some ham-handed decision by the clipon-gore campaign -- god forbid to accept campaign checks from buddhist nuns, there was nothing that pointed to the involvement of the chinese government but we went on for months and months later formal reports were issued and yet look at the response of the republican majority now to the suggestion that the russians were involved in this presidential campaign, a fact which every major intelligence agency of this country has confirmed. do you see the same kind of anger and commitment and excitement? not at all. they've dismissed it with boys will be boys shrug. the only hope we have to ever get to the truth of this is a thorough f.b.i. investigation, and now we are being asked to appoint an attorney general who will not give us his word that he would not stop such an investigation or impede it. that to me disqualifies him when it

the honorable larry thompson, , cedricker, john lewis richmond. as well as other members including -- chuck canterbury. a lot of people mentioned as far as those in the lineup which you can see today as well. fran from utica, michigan. caller: thanks for accepting my call. i am agreeing with the first caller before me. president obama's speech was eloquent. it was perfect. i heard a lady say anybody could read off a piece of paper. not all people can do it. they can't even get their comments right. said -- heould have did say what he had done for this country. nobody can see it. the big blue ball was broken and he has done so much. everything i have heard about trumpet is tit for tat. he's on this twitter thing a little bit too much. carrying everything so far. this inauguration on this farewell thing makes me want to wish i was in another country. i'm african-american if they call it that. i am mixed with a lot of different things and my husband is polish. we are very scared. if he starts repealing laws, will it be interracial marriage? everythin

[john] hey, here's an idea. what if instead of waiting weeks for your tax refund? you can get an advance on that refund. [zombie] an advance on my tax refund, i could really use that. [john] what would you do with that money? [zombie] i'd love to take a tropical holiday. [john] i'd be careful, with your skin tone. [zombie] no i get it cause i'm a zombie. yeah that's funny. [off camera] all my undead, we are back. [john] i will see you out there. [zombie] see ya. [john] and don't take it personally. [vo] you can get a refund advance of up to $1250 no interest at block. [john] don't just get your taxes done. get your taxes won. (vo) when you're on your phone 24/7, you probably think you need an unlimited plan. but actually, the majority of people pay for data they never use. that's right, two out of three people use less than five gigs. now verizon introduces the one plan that's right for you. switch, and for just $55 get five gigs on america's best network. that's tons of data at a cost that's less than an unlimited plan. and the best part, no surprise overages. fin

[laughter] john: yeah. a lot of trough feeding. e is a backslapping, chicago version of a good old boy. not quite the brightest bulb in the dressing room mirror. i wanted to see how stupid i could make him and still breathe, which is not a good approach. [laughter] >> you're stuck with it. john: never anything gained by playing things down. ut he is in peril. [laughter] charlie: and walter burns who comes in the second time? nathan: walter burns is such a tremendous character. that is the relationship in the play, this bromance, father-son relationship he has with the star reporter. hilled i johnson. it is based on a famous editor in chicago. he did some of this stuff to charles macarthur. he gave him his watch and then had him arrested for stealing it when he went off to get married. and there was an escaped convict in chicago they based this loosely on. he was famous for saying not to get involved with women because they would distract them from the story and getting his work one. also, apparently the legend goes that he got drun

francine: the new york times ceo mark thompson joins us along with john mickelthwait. the two real newsmakers. what an odd year 2017 will be for you. president obama was good for the new york times. what is president trump going to be like? mark: the key thing is we are living through a gigantic new unpredictable story. the story is multifaceted, it is linked. , atability in europe, brexit wild card in the white house, it should be a great year for news. and we think about the news business we need the raw material to make the money off of and we think there will be a plentiful supply. tom: i look at where we are in the beginning. i was unprepared for the level of uncertainty that i see here today. john mickelthwait, how important are the speeches? are they safe speeches? xi isi think president likely to be a safe speech. he comes on and will i suspect like a credible alternative leader. theresa may has a much more difficult problem where she is so far failed to get across exactly what she is pushing for a now she seems to be coming down one side of the fence. it is ex

today one of the remarks back in 1963, #-number-sign john lewis of refusing to attend. at least 29th democratic lawmakers say they are planning to skip mr. thompson maturation after the president-elect lashed out for calling him an illegitimate president. in case you missed it, here's what he said on "meet the press." >> president-elect as the legitimate president. >> i think the russians participated in this elect date. they have destroyed the candidacy of hillary clinton. reporter: vice president-elect mike pence said mr. trump has a right to defend himself all incoming chief of that reince priebus said this. >> i think it's incredibly disappointing and irresponsible for people like himself to question the legitimacy of the next united states president. the president should step up and get his people in line and tell them to grow up and accept the fact that they lost the election. reporter: mr. trump is trying to unify the question. for many years the country has been divided i'm angry and i'm trusting. the hatred. that will change. heather and clayton likely not in t

of tennessee, ranking member john glenn and the question before us 20 years ago was the involvement of the government of china in the clinton gore campaign. we spent months in public hearings on that question. because of some ham handed decision by the clinton gore campaign, god forbid to accept campaign checks from buddhist nuns, there was nothing that pointed to the involvement of the chinese government, but we went on for months. and months later, former reports were issued. and yet look at the response that the russians were involved in this presidential campaign a fact. which every intelligence agency was confirmed. do you see the same kind of anger and excite m? not at all. and now, we are being asked to appoint an attorney general who will not give us his word. that he would not stop such an investigation or impede it. that, to me, disqualifies him when it comes to this important responsibility. so i come to this conclusion, despite my personal relationships, my working with senator sessions. my respect for his family, that he is the wrong person for this job. we need someone

he made a living saying terrible things about george washington and john adams. a man who had been jailed under 1798dams administration of administration act. a man who was freed by thomas jefferson. thomas jefferson gave him a grant of money to pay off his bills, but he wanted more. postmaster,e job of that is something jefferson was not willing to give. put forth the story that thomas sheffer's the death of his wife started a relationship and had a relationship at monticello's with sally. there was a slave in monticello's name sally. thestory does not quite hit mark. there are details of what calendar says that are not true. in mywill tell you that, estimation, the story is probably true. i say probably, not 100%. but i think the evidence says that jefferson did probably have a long-standing relationship with sally hemmings. i want to encourage you to think about what it might have been like. to realize that what we are doing is speculating. in the time trying to laugh at thomas jefferson and sally hemmings. there was a cartoon in 1804 called a philosophic cock

. >> joining us is jonathon capehart and mark thompson. i don't presume to lead this discussion today. i'd like to get your reactions to where we stand tonight in this controversy between john lewis, donald trump and on this anniversary of martin luther king day. >> when it comes to the feud between congressman lewis and donald trump, i think we can get bogged down in the distraction in the battle between the two of them and lose sight of the fact that you have a president elect who's doing battle with a sitting member of congress. there are contentious relationships in this city. that's not new. what's new is a president elect, soon to be president, who cannot let any slight go. so any -- any criticism, any negative critique of him will be met with, from him, with sort of devastating insult and impact via twitter and other means. at some point, while everyone has been waiting for donald trump to act presidential, if there was -- if there ever was a moment, if there was a day, if there ever was a person for whom that could happen, it was t

thompson will highlight the training initiatives he's implementing in camden county emphasizing community policing. >>> just days before inauguration day president-elect trump is in a war of words with civil rights icon congressman john lewis. the feud was spark after it was revealed that the congressman said in an interview with nbc news he does not view president-elect donald trump as a legitimate president. donald trump fired back today on twitter saying "congressman john lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart not to mention crime infested. rather than falsely complaining about the election results all talk talk talk no action or results. sad ". >>> lewis represents a georgia district that includes most of atlanta. he's criticized trump's within sight citing russian's alleged meddling in the factor -- election is a factor. he will not attend the inauguration. the congressman was an ally of martin luther king and beaten marching for civil rights back in 1965. >> no justice, no piece! >> no justice, no piece! >> hundr

back with me, michael steel and joining me now is mark thompson. mark, it is not lost on many that donald trump chose to attack civil rights hero john lewis on martin luther king weekend. >> big mistake. i agree with what michael said earlier, that's something you just don't do. it also draws a very clear analysis of who he is. that's why it's important we're all here to march today because of what trump represents. i think that what we're seeing and president obama i think paraphrased dr. king the other night in his farewell speech when he talked about pitting white working class workers and african-americans against each other. the same speech, the same worries dr. king said at the steps of the montgomery state capitol in 1965, he talked about what happened after the reconstruction, what happened after the election of the first congressional black caucus, and andrew johnson comes in with the help of a reactionary attorney general to oppose reconstruction, to take the right to vote back, in dr. king's words, to feed working white class people jim
