george. or perhaps the mystery ended, we will find out. one of the joys of the past year, and my job brings me many joys, has been watching this exhibition of all and witnessing matt's unbridled excitement at every new discovery. at every new twist or revelation it revealed, we are reminded that history is a practice and there is always more to know and learn. of the is a graduate university of delaware. he joined the museum staff and 2016 and helped complete the core exhibition prior to the museum opening in 2017. he has since helped to curate two special exhibitions. matthew is the lead curator of "the cost of revolution," and he is here to tell you the story. [applause] good morning, everybody. thank you for that kind introduction. it is a pleasure to stand here project talk about a that has consumed my life for the last two years. a project that has long roots back to my childhood and i will talk about that a little bit. my presentation today is about curating "the cost of revolution," br

who george is. he saw himself not so much as an englishman more as an american. george also had the good fortune in 1758 to mary martha dandridge who reportedly was the wealthiest women in virginia. and by marrying her, he married the widow of a gentleman, and by marrying her george became a gentleman. with her wealth and his drive and determination to secure wealth, the washingtons would become one of the wealthiest couples in america. he was a plantation owner, a farmer, initially growing tobacco but coming to the realization that tobacco was a leaching crop declining in value. so by the time of the revolution what was he starting to cultivate? wheat. remember you read tobacco culture and how tobacco culture was playing out. this is the george washington who by the time of his death will own 11,000 acres. he had this ambition that made him inquisitive, sometimes contentious, and even after he established himself he would insist upon exact payment of every debt owed to him. in his youth, young geor

sununu served under george h.w. bush and mr. card under george w. bush. >> the most interesting thing to me was the process that president undertook on all of his decisions. he was a president that listened. he was a president that i could discuss things with, sometimes not agreeing with him. certainly someone who solicited your opinions and try to find all of the views before he solidified his decisions. for me, it was an experience that i call one of the most fun i ever had in my whole life. it was a wonderful time to be chief of staff. the world was changing before our eyes on a daily basis. the soviet union was collapsing. driven primarily by the astute leadership of george h.w. bush. it was fascinating. it was fun. certainly for me, one of the highlights that i constantly look back on. >> i am going to open up by saying that first of all you don't apply to be the president's chief of staff. it is not like the president goes to monster.com to find a chief of staff. i was shcoocked when i was invid to be the chief of staff to george w. bush. when

i think that is a huge difference for lawrence and for george and it helps to find george's -- george is. he saw himself not much of an english man, but more of an american. george also had the good fortune , 1758 to marry martha dandridge custis. reportedly the wealthiest woman in virginia. he married the widow of a gentleman and by marrying her, george became the gentleman. with her wealth and with his drive and determination to -- thewealth, washington washingtons would become one of the wealthiest in america. initially growing tobacco, but coming to the realization that tobacco was declining in value. what was he starting to cultivate? we -- wheat. this is the george washington who, by the time of his death, phone 11,000 acres. wealththis ambition for and it made him sometimes contentious and even after he established himself, he would insist on exact payment of every debt owed to him. youth, young george wanted to be a young british military officer and in the beginning made references to how young george was the guy who started the seven-year war. and then george rescued the rem

george w. bush. they compare the styles of father and son. >> i want to welcome you to knollwood farms. i am happy to have governor sununu in this room. tonight, we're making history to learn about some of the innerworkings of the white house. there have been pundits and professors. there was a professor a couple months ago. he led a group of us egypt, 97 of us to be precise. he is the person -- professor pushing back on the dates of the pyramid and sphinx, like 10,000 years. i think it is wonderful. family -- a famous writer by the name of microclimate of mark twain, who was here. my father, as a 12-year-old boy he used to sit with the other kid, and mark twain would read some of his latest work. of course, most special of all, the white house connection was the 300 pound president. william howard taft secretary of the treasury built the house in 1902. william taft visited twice. one of the times he visited, they invited the whole town. the good president shook hands supper0 people for the was

george has had a bunch. george: i love 'em. heather: they're both great and have very different flavors, which is great 'cause they can be incremental purchases. one person likes one, they're more apt to pick up the other. louie: i'm actually impressed with the quality of the salsa. it tastes authentic. adelo: so we got an order? heather: yeah. and i think the la market is probably the best place to start. adelo: great. thank you so much for this opportunity. lemonis: not only was adelo a great listener, not only did he create a connection with the buyer, he knew exactly the right things to say. he did a great job. and i think that, if you can nail sam's club, the sky's the limit. heather: thank you for coming to see us today. lemonis: thank you very much. we're looking forward to it. we're excited. louie: adelo. lemonis: george and i will be at the first store launch. when i first met adelo, he lacked the polish and the structure and the discipline it takes to run a good business. and now he understands that the details matter

that's how we get to george remus. i'm probably not telling you anything you don't know but there are no heroes in the story. it's a very complex story with a lot of kind of bad characters, even people who seem good for all of the longtime all of a sudden i would read a new story or read something else in the paper six month after they're doing something a role, they're doing something terrible. what's wrong with these people? if they are incredibly complex, just like we are today, incredibly complex people and it helps us understand the 1920s. it helps us understand today. we're going to dive right into george remus, the bourbon king. the story is large and there is no way we could go through this whole story. i think the audiobook if you're into audiobooks, i think the audiobook is like 16 hours long. we can't to all the stories here so i thought i would boil it down to six numbers, these numbers will give you a flavor of george remus and hopefully make you want to learn more because it's a fascinating story. the fir

the papers when george remus died claimed he was broke and living in a flophouse. none of that is true. he was living in covington you can still see the houses they are still there. he was in the brick house 1808. he and his third wife blanche own horses and they traveled around the country racing horses. this is the era and her horse is one major races. but second-tier not like kentucky derby but they had a lot of money because george funneled all the money through blanche. they had a lot of money. george tried to get back into bootlegging but what happened while he was in jail, the entire criminality of the gangster world became even too violent for remus perspective people like capone hired more violent thugs and kidnapping was majo major, a murder rate going through the roof. so remus did not have the funds from what was embezzled from him he didn't have the money to build another army that is what would have taken to regain all of his territory. so he lived a much more quiet life but still on the edge of criminality throughout the thirties and into the forties

sununu served under george h.w. bush and under george w. bush. they compared the styles of father and son. the dublin area republican committee posted this event. to knowt to welcome you what farms. i am happy to have andy card and governor sununu in this room. this stage has welcomed some very interesting people. i want to mention, there have been pundits that were professors -- actually there was a professor here a couple of months ago who led a group of us to egypt. there has been a famous writer by the name of samuel clemens, mark twain. a father remembers as 12-year-old boy he used to sit with other kids of dublin at the feet of the great writer and mark twain would read some of his latest work. of course, most special of all, the white house connection was the 300 pound president. william howard taft secretary of the treasury built the house in 1902. william taft visited twice. one of the times he visited, they invited the whole town. the good president shook hands with 600 people for the supper and my grandfather was one of the guests. he

george kent provided hours of details about rudy giuliani's activities which george kent referred to repeatedly under oath as, quote, a continuation of his campaign of lies. rudy giuliani can sue george kent for those words, can sue him for defamation, for calling rudy giuliani a liar, conducting a campaign of lies. giuliani could sue if and only if george kent is not telling the truth and the full truth about rudy giuliani. but rudy giuliani will not sue george kent. george kent's description of rudy giuliani's campaign of lies now lives in the congressional record forever. but rudy giuliani could find himself in a courtroom because of his campaign of lies. rudy giuliani is now the subject of a criminal investigation of his activities which has already resulted in the indictment of two associates of rudy giuliani. mr. giuliani spent the last few weeks searching desperately for a criminal defense lawyer to represent him and being repeatedly rejected by a number of high powered attorneys before finally landing on robert costello who served as an intern for rudy giuliani when rudy giul

george patton. as hard as it is to see, george see scot's impersonation, his acting is a little different than the real george patton. one of the reasons i wrote patton world war i as this is an honest assessment of george patton. in 1917-1918, he is a second lieutenant, then a captain, and he was a very avid writer. he wrote to his wife very often sometimes three times a day. and he kept a diary/journal. if you read it, he is very aware he is going to be famous and years from now historians will read this, and his diary/journals, when you read them, you have to take them with a big scoop of salt because it's not really it is for historians 50 years down the line. in world war i, he is just a second lieutenant that becomes a brigade commander colonel at age 33. he is a cog in the machine, just one guy, and he does not really know exactly where he will be in the historical sense, so his diaries are much more honest, much more useful for historian. when i started researching patton in world war i, wha
