john wilkes booth. booth has to do nothing but take the opportunity out of his pocket. aim it forward. he can almost lincoln's head with a pistol and he fires that one shot and lincoln slumps down. he doesn't know what hit him. lincoln doesn't even hear the shot. he's unconscious immediately because the bullet enters behind his lift, air goes diagonally through his brain and comes to rest behind his right eye. and then major rathbone, one of lincoln's theater guests, leaps up. he realizes something is wrong. booth shouts, freedom, freedom to the south. and then booth withdraws a dagger and stabs rather deeply through his arm. rathbone is bleeding. booth then goes to the balustrade. he slides over and he jumps down. now, normally i'd make that shot with no problem, but his spirit catches on either flag or on a portrait of george washington hanging from the front of the box and booth lands unevenly on the stage. the spear hits the stage booth hits the stage, and he breaks a bone in one of his legs and he

the popular actor john wilkes booth, who evidentlytalked lincoln at the inauguration. the great american pt walt whitman, who was covering the inauguration for the new york times, the angel of the battlefield, clara barton, who spent that week trying to meet lincoln and finally greeted him at the reception. and, of course, there was the vice president elect, andrew johnson, who showed up at the inauguration embarrassingly drunk. and the perception of these very different people provide a powerful and moving view of what that war was about and what lincoln was up against on that rainy, muddy day in washington. and i tried to weave those all into the story. at the center of it all. of course is abraham lincoln, who can anding in the this crowd reading his speech just about above the table, a glass of water on it. he did something that day, as i mentioned, that no other no other politician would. on the cusp of victory after, four years of a brutal device of an widely despised war. he declined to make a speech about the union's triumph. instead argued that both sides had

and it is precisely that speech that you john wilkes booth swear that he'll assassinated. he says, i'm going to assassinate that man because what he says means, quote, and citizenship, and that candidate means so he gets killed not for emancipation, but for endorsing black citizens. and therefore, i think that actually lincoln had been alive. yes he had this idea that slavery wasn't national, said that we couldn't just blame the southerners because the north had profited. obviously he always said american slavery. and he said, don't you know? he was pretty with that framing about. but i cannot imagine him endorsing the sort of wholesale racist terror against black people unfolds after the civil and that johnson just turned blind eye to and pretty much supported and encouraged. so i think there is a difference there. but it's very difficult to say because he didn't live long enough to really have a full fledged program of reconstruction and in his last his second inaugural, which is often as one of the greatest speeches in american history, he raises the question of retribu

out there, because i like manhunt, which is this really interesting series about lincoln and john wilkes booth. and could you get what lincoln sounded like? the answer is, no, he died a long time ago. >> tough for input. >>> the other big dynamic of q1 was ratcheting lower rate expectations, cut expectations. did friday change anything, whether it's pc or powell? >> you don't need to talk about the fed. you just don't. >> that's going to be a new element this quarter. >> the fed is where you want to be able to make it so that, look, the next move is down. take the fed out of the equation. it goes back to most of the history of when i was investing, is that, the fed is -- fed's there if something goes wrong. otherwise, the fed is kind of,let buy stocks. or if interest rates were much higher. >> but no worries about energy prices, china manufacturing, pmi expanding again? >> china, look, ironworks bounced. housing's come back. i'm going to ask david a quiz, because he's back now. what's the average price of natural gas at the waha hub? >> below $2. >> minus 50 cents. costs more to store it
