as chris implies, jim ogden, lee and i are the three antidotes to what i call eastern theatricality. we are the guys from the western theater reminding you it was fox there by thend won yankees and lost by my guys. i'm drawing from my paperback that will come out in about a month or so. paperbacks cover a narrative of the atlantic ca campaign. i want to thank chris and dan for allowing me to write for them. od's great about ho attacking battle of july 22 which is now called the battle of atlanta. a misnomer as i will argue. first of all, after the battle, it was simply called -- here you have general sherman and his report simply called it the battle of july 22. general dodge and other yankees after the war started to call it the battle of atlanta and the name stuck. look at this map. you will see the battle of peachtree creek, ezra church and you will see the battle of atlanta. when it was put together in the 1880's, they called it the painting of the battle of atlanta. whoas albert castille said let's call it something different. maybe the battle of bald hill. i still prefer callin

as chris implies, jim ogden, lee white and i are the three antidotes to what i call in the symposium eastern theatricalitc. we're the guys from the western theater reminding you that it was fought and won there by the yankees. it was fought and lost by my guys. now i'm drawing from my paperback that will come out, i think, chris, in about a month or so. my brace of paperbacks covers a narrative of the atlanta campaign up to the chattahoochee, the first volume, second volume from the chattahoochee to the city surrender. i want to thank them for allowing me to write for them. let's talk about hood's great attacking battle of july 22nd, which has been called a the battle of atlanta. a misnomer as i and others will argue. first of all, after the battle, both yanks and rebs simply called it by date. here you've got general sherman in his report, a confederate artilleryman called it the battle of july 22nd. but general dodge and other yankees after the war started calling it the battle of atlanta. and the name stuck. look at this map from battles and leaders. you'll see the battle of peach

and a very interesting thing and i think jim's comment about lee's masterpiece. but look at listen to these statistics you like statistics but hooker lost 17,000 men you know injure or killed captain, etc.. so about 13%. lee 60,000 men. he lost. 1200 or 12,821, which is 22% of his army. and the statistic that just blew my mind is i hadn't thought about this before, but the number of killed a chancellorsville hooker. lost 1606 lee lost. 1665. so lee actually more troops killed at chancellorsville than the hooker. and yet we do. we talk about it as a as a masterpiece because of what we've talked a masterpiece with huge ramifications the future because that gets us into another topic we get into the was lee did he use his troops in the way did he preserve troops or did he filter them away over a period of but that's what that's time that's another let's let let's let someone ask a question and go ahead. i know the are very interesting to talk about, but i've walked to the battlefields. it's very difficult to see what anything is. and of course, it's the same as the

lee planchard, he died of a service connected disability. jim white just recently passed away of natural death. blanchard was quite a hero in my eyes. so was jim white. when trimble and i were in the same foxhole, the japanese got close enough to bayonet him. he didn't say a word. the only thing i heard from him was grenades. the japanese grenade, to ignite it, you have to hit it against something. they don't have a pin and a flare. so it would take two grenades, they would hit them together and throw them, lava. and they took two grenades, hit them together and trimble heard it, i didn't, and he hollered grenades. he was sitting up and i was laying prone. one grenade landed between my legs and one grenade landed behind trimble. and he took the full blast of the grenade. and they were japanese grenades. thank god they weren't ours. besides the bayonet wound, his back was peppered. i looked down at my crotch and i couldn't believe what i saw. both my legs were broken, and i was bleeding profusely. at the same time, a japanese jumped into the pit.

jim jordan, mark meadows, lee zeldon has adopted this role of aggressive defender of the president. it has been those three and a couple of others that have been there. someone will accuse me of not being honest of that. run any clip of these, and these are the most fervent of the president's defenders, they have been in the room. >> rodney in brooklyn, independent. >> okay. good morning. you spoke about subpoenas just a little while ago, and my understanding is those subpoenas are issued by the democrats. my question is representative himes said the republicans in the committee have the right to issue subpoenas but they have to be granted through the majority or the democrats, so the question is are the democrats granting subpoenas submitted by the republicans because according to jim jordan and others, thaey're not being granted anything. they're being shunned out. can you clear that up for me. >> i can clear that up, and let me start with the larger point, which is it's kind of sad that we're at a point where the subpoenas are necessary, and they have become necessary because the

>> we have frank johnston who w as there at the lee harvey mber ofshooting, nove 1963. joneswas at the jim suicide massacre. for unitedringer press international. he spent many years as a staff photographer for the washington post. onlydraper was the official white house photographer for george w. bush. a staffked as photographer for the seattle times. the albuquerque tribune and the associated press. his work is particularly noteworthy because of the vantage point he had covering 911 out of the whitehouse. we have darrel who was a stringer for upi, associated press and was important as a photographer covering the carter administration. carter never had an official white house for target for. --official white house photographer. he has the images we would have normally got through a white .ouse photographer and we have a two-time pulitzer prize winner. he is a proud graduate of the university of texas at austin. for 27 years he was a staff photographer for the washington post. he won the pulitzer prize for covering three generations of poverty in washington dc and the refugee situation in

lee. we turn to jim wadle, chief executive officer of access health connecticut for the state of connecticut. you are now recognized for five minutes. >> good morning, chairman murphy, ranking member deget and members of the subcommittee, thank you for this opportunity as you examine the condition of several state-based insurance marketplaces. my name is jim watley, one of the nation's best and healthiest state marketplaces. access connecticut was established in 2012 by governor malloy and connecticut general assembly to expand access to health insurance. their leadership and the support of our board of directors and many public and private partners has been critical to our success. so, too, has the commitment of the access health connecticut team. since we launched our state-based marketplace two years ago, we've worked together to meet the unique needs of our citizens while staying focused on innovation, collaboration and expanded coverage. today i'm pleased to report that 760,000 state residents and small business owners have used the exchange to enroll in qualified health plans and medic

more commonalities, i always think about quote that molly dusen wrote to eleanor roosevelt about jim far lee who was head of the men's democratic national could've mentioned in the 1930s, she wrote to eleanor, man are the slipperiest of eels. so some things don't change. >> i think patsy mink would be thrilled. i think she felt a little lonely. as an asian american woman, a woman of color, as a progressive woman. a race conscious woman. doing the work that she did. and it would be great for her to have more more people to work with. but i also think that there is a way in which our politics still haven't fully re-visited the politics of the 1990s. so, what mike was doing, and our second congressional career was, trying to articulate a democratic politics that was different from what was becoming at this point coalescing into the mainstream of the democratic party, the new democratic -- sometimes called neo-liberal approach to democratic party. i think even in the wake of bernie sanders campaign, and with kasia cortez and others articulating a left of democratic politics, i think we still ful

johnston who was there at the lee harvey oswald shooting when jack ruby shot lee harvey oswald in november 1963. frank was also at the jim jones suicide massker in geonau. and a stringer for the united press international but spent a lot of years as a staff photographer for the washington post. it began in 1968. erick draper's another one. he was the only official white house photographer for george w. bush. and erick's work he's also worked as a staff photographer for the seattle times and the pasade pasadena tribune. and it's of particularly noteworthy because of the incredible vantage point he had had covering 9/11 right out of the white house. then we've also got daryl hawks who was a stringer for upi, associated press and was particularly important from our standpoint as a photographer covering the carter administration because carter strangely enough never really had had an official white house photographer. and so the press, the photo gejournalists have th images we would have normally gotten through a white house photographer. then lucian perkins, a pulitzer prize winner. and he's a proud graduate of the universi

[inaudible conversations] >> oh, good, great, jim, good to see you. perfect. mr. lee, the center vice-president and head of design in the special naval unit and mr. jim shurmur deputy managing director of american metal vehicles. thank you so much, everyone. looking forward to the conversation today. we'll start with the navy side of things and allied cooperation in this domain. in preparation for the panel i was reading the recent bipartisan congressional report on the u.s. maritime capabilities overall and it presented some pretty alarming pictures as the ambassador said, china has 230 times the capacity of the united states in terms of shipping orders. the united states had five last year. china had something like 1,700, so it's pretty stark. mr. brock, can you tell us a little about how the department is feeling about this problem? i know you have been and i know the department of the navy has several initiatives underway? >> yes, the secretary's maritime initiative at its core is intended to restore the maritime power of the nation for several reasons. the first

jim assembled an all-star team of a different kind. a political all-star team. lee atwater ran the campaign, roger ailes did jim's media and bob teeter did the polling. all three would later be reunited on george h.w. bush's presidential campaign two years later. even with this topnotch group and a tremendous personal effort, both jim and mary agreed election night was tense. tense. it got to the point where mary could no longer sit around waiting for the returns. as she recalled, when i get nervous, i go shopping. to which jim replied and then i get nervous. ultimately there was no need for them to be anxious. jim won handily 55-44 which in our line of work is a nice margin. not long into his house tender he secured a seat on the house ways and means committee with jurisdiction over taxes and many entitlement programs. committee assignments are much more important than in the senate. it's a reflection of how floor proceedings operate in both chambers. in the house the rules traditions ensure that. the setting with which individual lawmakers typically exercise influ

who was there at the lee harvey oswald shooting, when jack ruby shot lee harvey oswald, november of 1963. frank was also at the jim jones suicide massacre. he was a stringer for the united press international for several years but spent a lot of years as a staff photographer for the "washington post." i think he began in about 1968. eric draper is another one. eric draper was the only official white house photographer for george w. bush. eric's work -- he also worked as a staff photographer for "the seattle times," "the albuquerque also for "the associated press." his work is particularly noteworthy because of the vantage point that he had covering 9/11, right out of the white house. we also have darryl heikes, who was a stringer for upi, associated press, and was particularly important from our standpoint as a photographer covering the carter administration. because carter, strangely enough, never really had an official white house ,hotographer and so the press the photojournalists who covered the carter administration really had the images that we would have normally gotten three white house photographer. then w

we have with us jane lee and jim hertz, the director of budget review. as i me these questions should be factual and technical in nature. nature. >> thank you, mr. chairman. this provides members of the committee to understand some of the policies that are behind the numbers and we appreciate the opportunity and use this time for that purpose. i'd like to put up a chart i used in my opening statement with respect to what this republican budget does with respect to what we call non-defense discretionary spending for people listening. those are the funds we invest in our kids' education in scientific research inknee separation homeland security those ongoing that are non-defense piece. as i understand the budget, it would cut below the post sequester level, in other words, below the sequester caps by $579 billion over the ten-year budget window, is that correct? >>. [ inaudible ] >>. >> thank you, now relative to what it would be required to maintain 2015 enacted levels adjusted for inflation, that cuts non-defense discretionary spending in our calculation

gotti included actors mickey rourke, anthony quinn, john amos, grandpa al lewis, singer jim black and lawyer lee bailey. each a wink and or wave from the the associated press reported a times magazine cover story on the mob featured a painting of gotti by andy warhol. newsday learned that two prestigious law school at the gates had contacted, offering their services and those of their entire third year classes to work on the gotti appeal. newsday also employed a fashion to sketch the colorful attendees outfits, printing the standouts in a column called gotti garb four times a week. one gotti garb was dedicated to feds threads, providing a commentary alongside the drawings that highlighted waspish ness of the us attorney's outfits. contrast to the swaggering double outfits worn by gotti in most of his backyards. the rights lawyer, william kunstler, marched at an earlier rally at the courthouse and took up gotti's cause after house counsel bruce cutler, disqualified by the judge. i've got to have a little water. the un sophisticate, the nature of gotti's crimes attracted scorn. the feds who read g

27th, 1913, the night watchman at the factory, newt lee had gone down to the basement to use the toilet that was only for african americans in the jim crow south. he found mary fagan's mutilated body. suspicion initially fell on newt lee. almost immediately turned to leo frank. frank, then and forer afterwards, maintained his innocence. newspapers began inflaming the e trial was absolute circus. prosecutors dorsey was out for blood. he sed frank of sexually molesting the factory girls. and when frank was convicted, his conviction was based on the testimony of an african american ex-convict named jim conley, who had given multiple affidavits with conflicting evidence. you must understand that in the south, only a jew could be convicted based on the testimony of an african american man. after the trial, the georgia newspapermen said, if the jury and the frank case had brought in a verdict of not guilty, the defendant would have been lynched. frank was sentenced to hang. anti-judaism figured prominently in the trial. i actually found a letter that frank's mother wrote to washington post. in it she -- i will quote her words, the insults

lee. >> i was going to apologize for the absence of maps to show these positions. if jim mcpherson is here, you don't need a map. let's bring this man into the mix on stonewall jackson's part. >> stonewall jackson, the idea -- jim knows the details better than anybody does that i know -- what lee does is divide his army. back up a little bit, lee and stonewall jackson are having a conference, trying to decide what they are going to do. they look at the right flank of the union army, and that is anchored on the river. but then they look on the right flank of the union army, and they see that it is in the air. it's not anchored to anything. the man who is in charge of the 11th corps believes, i think, that he really is anchored in those woods and nobody can get through. what happens in this battle is by 2 1/2 miles in front of the union line, stonewall jackson moves his troops around and smashes into the right flank of the union position. it is what they talk about, crossing the tee. this is what happens. he rolls of the 11th floor under howard for about two miles. here is

and what i came to was a sort of, you know, version for 2015 of what jim baker and lee hamilton wroten 2006. looking at essentially the same problem. the problem hasn't really changed from what they were writing back then nine years ago. there's a bottom-up or inside inside-out part of this which is to find a formula for a generally federal decentralized iraq that keeps the borders of the country as a whole but lets the individual groups really have a kind of local autonomy. sunnis fighting to get isis out of anbar have some confidence that when isis is out they won't be given instructions from the shia militias or anybody else. that it will be their part of iraq as much as kurds feel irbil is their part of iraq. that's part of that strategy. it's bottom-up inside-out. and there's an outside-in part that involves the regional allies. and for each of these conflicts iraq syria, all the other ones, libya, it is going to take a commitment by the united states russia saudi arabia, iran, i mean somehow there's going to have to be a formula, we're going to have to live in a world where thos

lee's head kwaurks. a nonprofit organization purchased the house and surrounding land in 2015. we talked with jim height zer and garry addelman about the trust. >> the history is the most important to gettysburg if not the whole center battle of the war. this is this headquarters. >> this is where robert e. lee was where he made crucial decisions in the three days of that battle that literally determined the outcome of the property. >> this property when we bought it looked nothing like it does right now. it was a hotel complex with a restaurant attached to it. so it was envision of 40 or 50 rooms, 1950-styled motel, with a restaurant saloon attached to it. all surrounding this building that i'm standing in which was lee's headquarters. lee's headquarters was hidden in plain sight. we had to get raid of the 20th century and that was tear down, move out all the debris that encompass the hotel or motel to be more precise, the restaurant. and then we had to restore. we had to tear out something like 15 different structures, including a swimming pool and gift shopts, those type of things. this thing

we saw mark meadows, jim george, dave brandt, mike lee whole be up here. ted cruz. they are leading this fight and our congressional leaders need to follow them so we can actually repeal obamacare. we can do it, they need to hear your voice to make it happen. it's not just what happens up here, it's what you all want. they need to hear that. thank you for being here, and we can do this, we can repeal obamacare. >> once again, we are broadcasting live on sirius xm satellite radio. the patriot channel, channel 125. i was actually going back over to the broadcast position to do the top of the hour. but i figured i would just do it from this mike. when i use the frayed intellectual constitutional conservative, i apply that to very few people. there are very few people that i call intellectual constitutional conservative because it's tough. it means understanding how the government works. it means sometimes believing in something but saying loudly, hey, this is not for the government. there are very few people who can separate their opinions from what it is they believe

and as jim said, we are very fortunate to have with us keith lee, acclaimed and author of the league of many of you may have been when he gave a presentation on that a couple of years ago now, right? yeah. in the league of wives, he tells inspiring story of the efforts of the wives of our p.o.w.s in vietnam to bring their husbands home in the course of writing that book, keith became close friends with of these amazing women i had the honor of attending the gala dinner held here last year to, mark the 50th anniversary of the white house honoring our return p.o.w.s and i had a chance to speak with a few of those p.o.w. wives. and although they were 50 years older than they were when they were working to bring their husbands home, they are just as formidable and strong as they were in the early 1970s. very impressive group of women. but tonight we are fortunate to hear heath's inaugural talk about her newest book just published today, a beautiful biography of, our own first lady pat nixon. i know many people asked you why, mrs. nixon, you know, there's already an outstanding biography

in 2015 of what jim baker and lee hamilton wrote looking at essentially the same problem. the problem hasn't really changed from what they were writing back then, nine years ago. there's a bottom up or inside-out part of this which is to find a way, find a formula for genuinely federal, decentralized, maybe confederal iraq that keeps the borders as a whole but lets the individual groups really have a local autonomy. sunnis fighting to get isis out of anbar have some confidence when isis is out they won't be given instructions from the shia militias or anybody else. it would be their part of iraq, much as kurds feel erbil is their part of iraq. it's bottom up inside-out. and then there's the part that involves the regional allies. for iraq, syria libya it is going to take a commitment by the united states, russia, saudi arabia iran. somehow there's going to have to be a formula where those powers can sit around a table and come up with agreements that they are prepared to back up. i think those are the two elements of how you would make this work in iraq. i think it's going

jim come back. does that mean we are running near the end? lee: it does. i one last thing to say. remember former governor anne richards who says, we have to vote, and vote, and vote. ellen: right. people sometimes say to me what , difference did it make that this passed? usual i shake my head and think why are they asking me this? now it is obvious. the right to vote is under extreme attacks. jim: i couldn't think of to better people to lead a discussion on women's suffrage. lee, thank you. ellen, i'd like to learn about your research. >> american history tv. coming up this weekend, sunday morning, american history tv is live, looking back to the 1952 first televised essential campaign at with that journalism chair at louisiana journalism school of mask medications and the author of daisy petals and mushroom clouds, lbj and the ad that changed american politics. we will take your phone calls, facebook comment and tweets. a look into p.m., arlington national cemetery memorabilia box placed by resid wilson and 1915. and on the presidency, the life and legacy of theodore wiles tv th

jim. >> any thoughts or comments as to stuart's frame of mind after what people would say a sharp rebuke with lee. did that influence him at all? the think it influenced him on the first? eric: interesting question. jim's question was what do i think was stuart's state of mind after supposedly being rebuked sharply by robert e. lee on july 2. the answer is i don't think that happened. there are four people that know what occurs in that room. it was robert e. lee, jeb stuart, charles marshall, and charles venable. nobody left behind an account of any sort that discusses what happened when they had their encounter. this legend that there was an ugly confrontation between stuart and lee comes two was to us from colonel thomas taylor mumford who was probably 15 miles away when this happened. he was not there. he's relying on hearsay, what we lawyers called double hearsay, which is unreliable. stuart was a sort that had he had his butt chewed out by general lee as is depicted in mr. turner's movie would have told flora about it. when you read stuart's letters to flora, the letters he wrote to her imme

lee as the symbol of the confederacy rather than davis whereas lincoln has and i'll let jim speak to that, has the exact opposite impact. >> just as one example, i think, davis was a very fine horseman, a very fine rider, and when he did appear before the troops, they, some of them remarked on what a fine rider he was. when lincoln reviewed the troops and rode a horse to do this, the soldiers were amused because his long legs almost touched the ground. >> long underwear show. >> his pants, very awkward rider, but interestingly enough, that really endeared him to the common soldiers. they saw him at one of them, who would come out of the same kind of background that many of them had come out of, he could identify with him, they saw, jack has written about this, they saw a real empathy, a real rapport with lincoln, whereas they may have admired davis' horsemanship but they don't really identify with that because most of them were not fine horsemen. maybe the cavalry offices are. >> sort of has a reverse impact, doesn't it? lincoln gets sustenance and renewal from seeing the common sold
