you mentioned finances, alexander. there are big elections coming up, and one outcome in france could be if marine le pen were to win. the euro would be in trouble. i think her chances are very slim. she would have never gone to moscow with the visit a few weeks before the elections, because that is basically suicidal. that does mean she has no chance. but coming back to the europe thing, the important thing to understand is that everybody has concentrated on britain, britain is entering troubled waters, nobody knows what's going to happen. europe is entering the same waters. nobody knows in europe what to do. my personal opinion is that europe is more terrified than britain, because of what might happen when this country leaves them. i think they are absolutely terrified. in my personal opinion, britain should have slammed the door in europe's face and said, we are leaving, if you don't give us what we want, we just walk away, europe will sink. can i just interrupt? i am german and going a lot to germany and other eur

akhil: if alexander hamilton had stayed in st. croix, he never could have risen to the heights he did. this city in particular created opportunities for talented people to rise. he does, and james wilson does. he does see that only in america are people who are low born but have talent able to -- ben franklin sees this, too. when ben franklin goes to england, he is disrespected because he is low born. in the english system, if you are born in a certain strata, it is assumed that is your lot in life. you are not allowed to show your talent. much of the actual, the real main springs that drive many of the great men of the american, including washington, jefferson, adams, hamilton and franklin, all of those definitely, is the sense that in this british system, they are limited in what they could accomplish. they would be a low level functionary. and washington wants to be more than that. and adams and hamilton, too. nowhere are there more opportunities than in the great city of new york. it is cosmopolitan in a way that even boston i

you can see a similar sentiment from alexander wilson, who was audubon's ornithological rival. alexander wilson's american ornithology was the first significant attempt to document all the birds in this new nation, and it was a true achievement for its time. it was only surpassed really by audubon's work. and then american ornithology, alexander wilson noted he had been honored with communications of facts that would assist him in his work. and he saw these communications as absolutely necessary to the naturalist task. that no naturalist could see it all, especially to such an extended region of research as the united states. with such a vast amount of unexplored space and unknown new species, wilson knew that natural history needed all the eyes and ears it could muster. and the challenge then was to enroll all of those eyes and ears and still make the resource acceptable to the existing standards of science. but wilson aside, it was audubon who did that best, who did it most directly and certainly most self-consciously. it was audubon who brought the ordinary observer more cle

this was the reaction of campaigners at the appeal court last month, whenjudges ruled that alexander blackman had broken the geneva convention by killing an afghan insurgent but that his sentence should be reduced, allowing him to be released. this is the moment we have all been fighting hard for. it's hard to believe that this day is finally here. it was in 2011 that sergeant blackman was shown on this video shooting an injured taliban insurgent. he was later found guilty of murder. but after a campaign by the daily mail and others, new evidence emerged, showing he had suffered horrendous combat stress and his conviction was reduced to manslaughter. but although that manslaughter ruling meant that alexander blackman could be driven out of this prison here in wiltshire today, thejudges made it clear that he had unlawfully killed that taliban insurgent. they stressed he was being made a free man, not an innocent one. he is now expected to give his first full public account of what happened on that day in afghanistan. his time in prison over, his period of adjustment about to begin. th

the nominee alexander acosta understands the difficult task ahead of him as the next secretary of labor. fortunately, he has an impressive background that will serve him well as he takes on these tough issues. it explains why acosta has earned high acclaim from numerous pro-jobs groups. the national association of manufacturers which called him an exceptional choice to lead the department and the chamber of commerce which noted its extraordinary history of government service and refined skills. he has also earned support from across the political spectrum, including from people like blake solomon, a national labor relations board acting general counsel in the obama administration who said acosta is very open-minded and fair and deserves to be secretary of labor. and we have heard from unions who backed him as well. in their words, acosta is an advocate for the middle class, a nominee with strong credentials and an impeccable reputation and someone they can work with to protect and make better the lives of working men and women across america. acosta's leadership at the labor department

alexander berkman was living in san francisco. he is an immigrant, he is jewish, he is a radical, he is an anarchist. he is very much in line with these kinds of attitudes. he also publishes, and i think you'll catch the subtlety of the masthead, he publishes a blast." r called "the with him was his friend and lover, anna goldman. around san francisco at the time, as well. they were in cahoots. to give you an example of the anti-immigrant attitudes of them both, they were described as" the kind of people who pop up at any radical movement that promises a financial return." newspapers also spoke of their "money grabbing proclivities." this was a stereotype of jewish people, anti-semitic stuff for sure. anti-immigrant force is important. let me finish with my third idea about why this matters. that is the anti-radicalism in this climate, the red scare in this broader miscarriage of justice, which i think you will find interesting. the district attorney was a guy by the name of charles speaker -- spikert. he had his him political amb

this is a proposal incomplete at best. >> peter alexander, thank you for that. joining us on set, political reporter for axius jonathan swan. good morning to you. we have this white house plan. it's offering again ralgenerali like on specifics. >> trump could have gone two different directions. one extreme would have been full legislative and the other is this. literally one page, bullet points, some very inoffensive provisions. nobody thinks the 15% tax rate can fly. that seems like a trumpian gambit. nobody thinks anything close to that will happen. that's trump throwing out an aggressive raise. people expect that to be 20 or 25 when it's all washed out. and, again, no pay-fors. so, the whole theme we keep getting from the trump administration is growth itself will pay for all of this. so, again, on the hill, to make this stuff permanent, it needs to be revenue neutral and people are wondering, how is that going to happen when you have none of these things to pay for it. >> there's this little thing called the deficit. >> talking about policy with variables an

[applause] mr. harcourt but our next song : details how that bank got its charter. hamilton was obsessed as treasury secretary with getting a debt plan passed and paying for all the debt they incurred with the war and the southern democratic republicans were dead set that he would not pass it. he had to do something he didn't really enjoy, but to make some trades to see what he could get done. never before i think has a song made passing a debt plan sexy and danceable, so it's got that going for it. it also happens to be the -- the platform and the impetus for aaron burr to jump into a political life. he was laying back at that time, and when he saw the kind of power that hamilton could wield he wanted in. , helping me, we have playing hamilton, gracious and taylor. we have thomas jefferson is ra meek, and
