not many about here burn coal except for lord dunmore but lord dunmore owns his own coal mine. that does help but it is expected of our governor's to hold these large celebrations, these balls, in honor of their majesty, king george iii, and queen charlotte which our last ball was in january for the queen's birth night so i doubt we will be having a ball in his honor anytime soon, you know what i mean. it is just that everyone is so angry at the governor's these days, you know what happened back in april. a group of british sailors went over to our magazine and made off in the middle of the night with the colony's gunpowder. everyone here certainly outraged and the governor has not given back that powder yet so apparently he ran out in fear of his life. they ran out of the house at 2:00 in the morning through the back door which is right through here in the supper room. much better than that dining room you saw before, better suited to the grand occasion. can only feed a dozen or so people in that dining room. of course dinner is the largest meal of the day usually served 2:00

except for lord dunmore. but lord dunmore owns his own homelands, that does help. you see it is expected of our governors here that they hold these large celebrations, these balls in honor of their majesties, king george the third and the queen charlotte. our last ball was in january for the queens birth night. though i doubt we will be having a ball in honor anytime soon, you know what i mean. it is just everyone is so angry at the governor these days. you know what happened back in april. a group of the british sailors went over and they mate off in middle of the night with thelo colonies gunpowder. well, everyone here was certainly outraged. and the governor had not given back that powder yet. so apparently he has ran out in fear of his life. they ran outn of the house at 2:00 a.m. in the morning through the back door which is right through here in the supper room. [background noises] better than that dining room he saw before. this is much better suited to the grand occasion. you could only see a dozen or so people in that dining room. of course dinner is the l

we serve at the pleasure of his excellency and it is our duty to obey governor dunmore the king's voice here in virginia what can be done but i argue. that we have an even greater duty. and that is to you good people. you elected us to represent you and your interests the right of representation flows through the blood of every britain and i say the actions of one man. whether he be governor king cannot wash away magna carta. is all this house? but not our obligation to remove all cause of danger to american liberty. this attack upon boston is an attack upon us all. we may not be able. passed laws being dissolved, but that does not mean we cannot remain strong in support of our resolution. therefore let it be declared and resolved. that this house i should say this former house. should meet once again. two days hence in the raleigh tavern and that our first order of business should be the consideration of a non-importation association against great britain. we should not purchase british goods. until we are recognized as full british subjects. now i hope to see all of you on the first d

we've seen that lately in the in the last history wars about about dunmore's proclamation 1619 and all this kind of stuff that's been going on in the last couple of months. i'm sure we'll talk about that a little bit more as as the session goes along but the idea that that independence is that everybody's on board. as soon as the shooting starts and the and that people's hearts and minds have been changed so to such a degree by these by this ideological change that has had a tremendous a historic graphical effect, and i didn't see all when the war. these stories about enslaved people and and what role in slave people and and native people's might play that becomes the thing that people are reading about and talking about more and more and more and more much more than talking about liberty or rights. that's the thing that people are and and as i was reading all these newspapers. i was reading the same story over and over and over again. i had i had this. what i call sort of in the preface of 13 clocks i have this kind of idea that i had this kind of weird superpower that i had developed

the violence, despite the fact that all of his advisors say that he could have come and should have, dunmore. it is something we saw a teaser from from the top white house counsel, pat cipollone, yesterday. >> wouldn't have been possible for the president to march down to the podium in the briefing room and talk to the nation at any time between then and the time after four clock? >> it would have been possible. >> reporter: we have covered the white house. we know the walk it would be from the oval office to that white house briefing podium. we know what cipollone says is in fact the case. it would've been very possible for the former president to walk down to that podium and given on camera response. instead, he ended up sending a tweet and video. nevertheless, that will be what the committee will dig into next. the reason why the hedge so often when it comes to these hearings, the chairman yesterday, after the hearing, told me and a group of reporters, that when they do released the final report, there could be a hearing around that presentation too. more to come from this committee, even

one is pragmatic paid the british under a lord dunmore was the loyal governor of virginia is going to issue a proclamatiod providing freedom for any slave who fights against the colonists. and washington is shocked as all other stakeholders. washington responds to offices this about men is this about combating this? the other possibility is maybe he has a change of heart when he starts getting reports likepo these. the veteran of campaigns in and around boston. a character so brave a man who behave like an experienced officer asik well as an excellet soldier. not just any soldier but as an experienced officer so elevating an african-american soldier general john thomas is there equally serviceable with other men. all other men. looking at the conduct in the honorable nature. it could be a little bit of both. we do note roughly about 5000 african-americans served in some capacity in the continental army offering freedom for service. meanwhile, things don't go so well for washington's army. in fact in battles in and around philadelphia washington is going to lose. in the capitol is goin

the cal trans camera off the skyway near the fremont street equity and busy a crash near dunmore safe. >> the fog is sticking around this morning, this is out live look at the salesforce tower cam. you can't see the top yet, you can't see the golden gate bridge as the follow rolls in. notice how it pulls back to the bay and the coast as we head into the afternoon hours, around 5:00 so a lot more dense than it was yesterday around that time. however, as we look at relative humidity this morning, it is high across the board and that is great especially because it is fire season and we are dealing with dry conditions on average in july, so this is a little treat for us as we head into the rest of the week. >>> there's a couple in wisconsin put to the endurance test over the weekend. kay lib and justine won a statewide wife-carrying competition. they complete the 278-yard obstacle course through the mud. >> i like this. >> only a minute and seven seconds. they say the secret to their success, a little bit of nervousness. >> races on the festival website we were worried we didn't want to d

two schools of thought, what is the pragmatic, the british under lord dunmore, the royal governor of virginia will issue a proclamation providing freedom for any slave who fights against the colonists. washington is shocked, responding to the same officers, is this about men combating this? the other possibility is he has a change of heart. when he starts getting reports like these. talking about a veteran of the campaigns in and around boston, so brave man who behaved like an experienced officer as well as an excellent soldier, not just any soldier but experienced officer elevating african-american soldier. general john thomas saying they are equally serviceable with other men and looking at the conduct, there's roughly 5000 african-americans or so are going to serve in some capacity with the continental army offering freedom for service. meanwhile things don't go so well for washington's army. battles in and around philadelphia washington is going to lose. the fred fiumano - the capital is occupied by the army. it will force washington to go on the defensive and retreat again. mean

rebellion by pulling any lever they could read and asked a lot of them were doing and it's not just lord dunmore doing it in virginia that they're considering what role in slave african-americans or native people from the back country might be the pulling that letter might be the thing that ends therebellion . and of course they are. because if, britain is broke and this is an expensive prospect. if you could end the ng rebellion before the british had to do their really expensive thing equipping an army and paying it and sending it across the ocean and funding it in america to put down thisrebellion to be on your . so you'd have governors all over the place or modeling how tomake themselves a hero . there thinking about availing themselves of opportunities like these. so what i found in the newspapers is patriot leaders really seizing upon this fact and publicizing it as much as they can and putting those stories front and center as we think about the news feed and using today's parlance of what people knew about the s.revolution. they know a lot about these particular stories and so if we were
