jane: will doctor ellis, you are fascinatg, so that when the question is mine. we've come back and talk about your next book when it comes out pretty. joseph: i would love to have really enjoyed this conversation you sent to many people have created a framework that is different so people can come together and continue the dialogue. jane: this is exactly the kind of dialogue that the united states kamala society's people are created, and picture will be her 60th year. in the authorizing legislation charged us creating thomas as we move forward because as we celebrate fourth of july whether it was really the point of the 20th, on the second. a fourth of july they dedicated the values of this country rated ... life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. that is what we share together as americans. >> followri

ellis, your recognize for five minutes. mr. ellis: thank you. my name is steve ellis. and the president of x national -- of a national budget watchdog. we have worked on flood and disaster related issues on behalf of tax-related issues for our entire 26 years of existence, and i have been involved in flood issues dating back to my days as a young coast guard officers dealing with the aftermath in 1993. it is worth noting that the first named storm the 2020 atlantic hurricane season appeared on may 16 and continued with 30 named storms, a record, on the heels of natural disasters. it is estimated that storms cost $54 billion annual including 34 billion dollars in annual economic losses to the economic sector. for 50 years, the program have helped fuel developments simply by making it more affordable to take on flood risk, and housing does not occur in a vacuum. when areas develop, infrastructure follows. these intensify along with residential development. the nfip has exacerbated exposure to climate change and at the same time is negatively impacted i. as storms increas

ellis, why don't you tell us? why did you write a book called american dialogue the founders and us? well, what were you trying to say to us as we come upon the independence day of our country? jane thank you for that gracious introduction. i think what i was trying to do. was use the dialogue between atoms and jefferson or towards the end of their lives the correspondence 155 letters. they exchange between 1812 and 1826. as a model and i thought it was a model that we needed to have before us because in my judgment. when i started writing this book in 18 19 in 19, excuse me, 2015. i'm his story and it keeps going back to the 18th century. it seemed to me we had been. for many years a deeply divided people. and became more so over the years as i was writing this book 2016 and 2017. and that we had lost the capacity to argue. the constitution itself isn't a collection of timeless truths. it is a framework in which we argue about what those truths are and um, and i came to the task believing that to well here's a co

i could give you joseph ellis's bio but wouldn't have time to hear his talk. let me give you a quick perspective. he won the pulitzer prize for the founding brothers, the revolutionary generation, the national book award for america speaks, biography of thomas jefferson. and his "in depth" chronicle of the life of our first president, his excellency, george washington, was a new york times bestseller. what doctor ellis has been able to do his master the craft of history with all the documentation necessary but to present it as a story. it comes alive and captures our imagination. that is why we are so honored to have him with us today. one of the most interesting and exciting things about today's joseph ellis said he wants this to be a conversation with you, readers and listeners hopefully readers of his book but if you aren't now you will be at the end. why don't you tell us, why write a book, the american dialogue, the founders and us, what were you trying to say to us as we come upon the independence day of our country? >> thank you for that gracious introd

felicityjones stars as ellie, a journalist who finds old love letters in the archives of the newspaper where she works. aided by mild—mannered archivist, rory, played by nabhaan rizwan, she investigates a romance from the past. as they discover more clues, flashbacks reveal the star—crossed letter writers. a married amnesic socialite called jennifer, who is played by shailene woodley, and callum turner's charming journalist, anthony. at least, i think he's meant to be charming. there's very little chemistry or credibility in the �*605 scenes, despite decent costumes, props and production design. a muttering woodley seems uncomfortable with the dialogue, perhaps with good reason. the banter between the pair feels artificial and the attraction too sudden. this is the kind of film where you only know the characters love each other because they say so repeatedly. the last letter from your lover is based on a novel byjojo moyes, whose adaptations have had some success on the big screen. me before you was a big hit with audiences and like that film, this has plenty of melodrama to tug

she watched ellie simmonds when she won the event in london 2012, and said she was inspired by ellie simmonds. so goals in the sm 6200 metres medley. congratulations to her. cricket and england are in complete control going into day two of the third test against india at headingley. in a turnaround from their miserable defeat in the second test at lord's, the home side dismissed india for only 78. once again, jimmy anderson was the man to lead the charge for england. taking two early wickets, including one in the first over — before getting captain virat kohli forjust seven. craig 0verton also took three wickets as india fell forjust 78. and if you thought the bowling was good, take a look at the batting. 0peners rory burns and haseeb hameed both reached their half centuries as england finished the day on 120 without loss. the way everyone bowled today and everyone fielded as i thought was brilliant and then leading that into our batting as well, so i thought the two people who were batting were outstanding. so we're just delighted that things came off for us. we've had planned thr

you're talking about ellie doing a lot of research at the library. i would like to point out that the library was closed the entire time i was writing this book because of the pandemic. and working from home, warren and his team -- debbie wheeler, the head archivist, robert, your deputy director -- you all were amazing. i know it was hard to help me fact check and research this book. and also warren has the best wife ever, mary finch, who's the audio-visual director of the library. you guys are rock stars. so i just must take a moment to thank you. this book wouldn't have happened without you where, and you did it -- you helped me, despite the fact you were home, but you managed to dig out mainly fact checking. i did have to e-mail george clooney directly and do a little fact checking with him. i'll just throw that out there. >> poor jean. so, yeah, it's amazing, the staff, the amount of -- what they could do working from home, teleworking. it's just amazing, the great staff here. so they did some great work. so, let's see, let's talk about this rela

john ellis, as far as i can tell, he did not live anywhere in the area. but he came down once and spent time in washington and wrote that up. ellis is kind of an odd character. i found very little information about him. the only other book he wrote was very odd. almost conspiracy theory type of book. but this is a pretty straight forward nairation. the only thing that is sort of fun about it is things he gets away with. that you would not get away with today. so, he talked about going into the -- wandering into the capitol and going to the subbasement where he saw, and i quote here, iron tubes and pipes extend in every direction overhead. there's no one to be seen, as a great silence is every wear, broken only by the monotonous sound of machinery. then we see two men in arm chairs at the end of the pashage. where he was is the heating plant of the capitol, which is the picture of one of the boilers i found aer found on the library of congress website. although, there's very little information on what it looked like down there. but ellis described how the

ellie murray to share her calculations. thanks for joining us. dr. murray: glad to be here. kristen: many people fear math but if we don't get the math we don't get why case numbers are going up and why we are seeing more mandates. give us your five minute lesson on how to think about delta changing the pandemic picture. dr. murray: the important piece of math we need to think about in an outbreak setting kamala covid and other pandemics, is the idea of, what is the average number of people that someone with the virus would infect? with the original strain of covid that was circulating over the last year, february, march, through the summer, we expected that was maybe about three people on average would be infected. we were aiming for 75% of people to be vaccinated with a 95% effective vaccine to get the number below one. kristen: i think we have an equation we can throw up. once you can ■see that, you can talk to us about the numbers in the equation. there it is. can you see it? re, that is the reproductive rate, equals three, that is three is how many people infected? dr

>> so exactly as ellie said, what calls were coming in and going out and when? what is key, this is not a legal proceeding. this is a commission to determine the narrative what happened. this is what was the extent of the conspiracy and was it as big as the 600 or 700 or 800 we anticipated were in the capitol building at the time. if it's much smaller, than who was directing it and that comes to members of congress. so part of this is just sort of what is that narrative of how we got here? a lot of us -- we know what it is. trump insights something and builds to this. they're creating the narrative. the other is important. we still have to worry about this threat and one way to undermine or to dissipate a terrorism threat is to make the terrorist organization look like losers like they can't actually function. so i really love what is going on now is because it is -- you cannot have a winning team because that is how terrorists recruit and raise money. what you're seeing now i think is people are going to run scared, that congressman are going to be on defense a

he broke the law. >> ellie, walk through that process. we know six local district attorneys in the state have requested information and said they will look into this more deeply. what is your take on the likelihood of criminal activity? >> yeah, jon. so each one of those district attorneys is going to have to ask themselves this question. do i have proof beyond a reasonable doubt to bring a criminal charge? now, if her account is true and correct and can be proven, that absolutely is a crime under new york state law. it's a misdemeanor. it's forcible touching. punishable by a maximum of one year in prison. but the key thing to remember here, again, this is not a civil case. not even impeachment. it's beyond reasonable doubt. not enough to show that this probably happen. that this likely happened. that this very likely happened. you have to be ready as a prosecutor to stand in front of a judge or a jury and prove beyond a reasonable doubt. the other important thing is that you or i are normal folks where the new york state assembly looks a

the athletes, though, can hardly wait — including ellie simmonds. just 13 when she made her name in beijing, now, 13 years later a flag bearer at tomorrow's opening ceremony. to be honest, there's literally no words to describe it. for me, this is my fourth paralympics and i've never actually been to an opening ceremony! i'm just so excited, really! it's going to be really cool. but many here don't share that excitement. once again, there will be no fans in the venues. since the olympics, covid cases injapan have hit a new high. but the head of the paralympics told me these games won't spread the virus. of course, with one here and the other there, they will face a situation where their tests are going to return positive, and it is devastating. but then how we identify them and track and monitor and isolate them is the key to guarantee a safe games. so you're confident this will be a safe games? i'm confident it will be a safe games, but safe games doesn't mean zero cases. well, with a state of emergency still in place across tokyo these games will

island because she's an immigrant, and she says, no, i don't have to go to ellis island. i'm from puerto rico, where the stars and stripes flies over san juan harbor. you took this place from spain in war. how could i be an immigrant? and even after the case becomes legally moot because she marries her fiance and becomes legally resident in the united states, because she has such a head of steam over this issue, she fights it all the way to the supreme court, wins, and establishes the right of puerto ricans to look at the united states as their wider country instead of being trapped in this legal netherworld of 3,500 square miles floating in the caribbean. just great, great stories that help explain how you guys were there, why we're here, and how the history of the hemisphere is intertwined from jump street. if you read the writings and the speeches of san martin and bolivar, they talk about jefferson and washington. they were on fire for the american revolution, just as they were on fire for the french revolution. when you read martin, he talks about the united states a

it's fascinating his parents came in through ellis island of the left which is galveston texas. it is a narrative that runs through his story and there are many surprises. i don't want to give a lot away. the first paragraph of part three when he returns, he escapes in october 1948 and returns to the soviet union and i wrote this which i think maybe is kind of an answer to your question. he's lived a lie about his past and family and work and after escaping the stresses he may have hoped for a new start but when he returned to moscow he found only a twisted fearful culture and propaganda prejudice namely against jews and americans as "the new york times" correspondent wrote anyone coming to russia at this time must bear in mind the paradox that has become the most reactionary power on earth. so in america he was walking on egg shells in terms of anti-semitism and anti-communism and then when he returned to russia there was a horrifying period of anti-semitism that he walked right into and in that chapter of the book it goes into that a bit but anyhow, i could go on and on. it's
