that saves the day for unions to gettysburg. gettysburg is really a race. get their just-in-time again and again. but that doesn't happen by magic. cracks and upon the staff, makes them start producing. so gettysburg, he is a really good leader. he gets word from giffords cavalry. as a fight coming up. the sound of the guns. the gallup at gettysburg. the wrong decision had he made it. he is now the army commander. his role is to control. his throat is to make sure the army gets word to make sure roads are cleared of supply wagons for this court to march. make sure the artillery is up. he has to keep the overview. and he states until the late night. about 12 miles. at that point he decides he can fight there. he rides forward. seeing for insult after giving orders for people. ride slow. the pipe creek line order goes out. the staff. hooker has not built a good staff. lee will build a good staff. he is a true -- the first truth order of staff. very impressive work. at any rate, he writes for word. orders back. he surveys the ground, try as an hour or so. surv

it's on my locker is we have to go to gettysburg.this isn't just about, you know come up all little thread set up what we do every day and talk about textualists aeruginosa would argue it is much bigger than that. you know, i see some people here who argue before the court. i'm not once thought that people who came there did not understand that what we did was larger than who we are, that we were engaged in an enterprise to preserve some thing that is truly great. do we agree? no more than the framers agreed. no more than mason and hamilton agreed. they do we say they did not want it to work? no, no. that is the beauty of we the people. we the people agree it should be exactly what we agree. we disagree not so too the point that we destroyed, but certainly to the point that we can think we're perfect game and were still here. so i think that lincoln saw what was happening in the civil war. he saw that slavery, we could not exist, half slave and half free. you couldn't do it. it was not going to happen. he understood that you have to

we have to go the gettysburg. this isn't just about, you know, we pulled these little france out of what we do every day. we talk about textualism or regionalism. he argued. it's much. not. you know, and see people here who argue before the court. i not once thought that the people who came there did not understand that what we did was larger than who we are. we were engaged to preserve something something that is truly great. did we agree? no more than the farmers agree. no more than mesa and hamilton agreed. the agree that we should have a country, exactly what it should be. we disagree. not to the point that we destroy it, but some of the to the point that think that we are perfecting it. and her still here. he saw the slavery, we could not exist half slave and half free. you couldn't do it. it was not going to happen. he understood that. you have to have a union. he knew ultimately it could not be a slave country that allows slavery. now, i know you have your revisionism and people. i don't have time to pick a

in effect, the gettysburg address is saying, the first republic just died here. it's being buried in those graves. we together now have to rebuild it. we have to remake it. we have to win this war first. and then remake it. >> ifill; "death and the civil war" airs later tonight on most pbs stations. >> woodruff: again, the major developments of the day. republicans scrambled to contain the damage from remarks by mitt romney that nearly half of americans believe they are "victims" who deserve government support. for writing off a big chunk of the country. and this evening the chicago teachers' union voted to suspend the strike and resume classes ahead of a vote to ratify a new contract. last night, we aired a story about climate change, and we posted an additional interview with anthony watts, a climate skeptic. tonight we've added much more. hari sreenivasan explains. >> sreenivasan: watts said temperature data from weather stations was flawed. we've posted a response from the national oceanic and atmospheric administration in its entirety, saying records of the

we went out to gettysburg country club.n silence, at the end of the third hole -- and i'm sure from smith knew this -- he said, david, i've allowed people one mistake a year, you've had yours. and by the end of the fourth hole, i had been rehired. [laughter] what i knew about him was this was a leader. he's somebody who took things seriously, he knew when to be tough, and he knew when to be forgiving, so -- >> yes, sir. >> yes, i have a question for david eisenhower. this could also go to julie. in 1968 richard nixon, of course, looking for the republican nomination to run for president, i understand that eisenhower was, basically, trying to be neutral in the entire thing, but at some point he felt compelled, and i've always tried to figure out if there was any influence or what was the process? i know he was facing a coalition of reagan and rockefeller, and i guess even george romney's in there somewhere. but i'm just curious what you guys had to say about that. >> the sequence goes like this. julie and i were engaged in n

lincoln, the "gettysburg address", who was fined and who was not. i just want to say that i do agree it is easy to be cynical. "we" did not mean that everyone but to pick up on that then segue, but to appreciate how extraordinary the birthday is. 225 years ago, august 1887, a self government a system almost no wear on the planet. you have a few sheep and goat herter's in switzerland before the swiss bank. [laughter] holland and the netherlands is in the process of losing it. english has the house of commons and the hereditary came and of the house of lords. and the vast multitude with no self government russia, china, india, africa , europe mostly, tyrants. look at the previous millennia and a very few tiny city states because they cannot defend themselves even if democracy did exist with climate and culture, that is all of world history. i like our chances. i think i would say we the people. 225 years ago, way better better, more perfect for the first time ever in the history of the planet, an entire continent got to vote. there we're bought the ex

in gettysburg and my family, my father, my mother, my three sisters and i, the eight of us lived in gettysburg this was about growing up with dwight eisenhower and experiencing him as a neighbor, grandfather on the scene, a boss, a former president of the united states. julie made a very important point and that is the significance of this transition, where this book picks up. dwight eisenhower is the first president to serve under the operation of the 20 2nd amendment. under the 20 2nd amendment, america, and this is different, america requires men like dwight eisenhower, men with extraordinary vitality -- we required them to give up our. these were people who would rule forever in lots of societies. we not only require them to surrender power but we required them to be good sports about it. [laughter] and so on january 20, 1961 as he is turning over the reins of power to his successor and he knows his legacy is now in the loving hands of the democrats, he is required to be a good sport about this and to make this work. i think that this is a very important dimension of an ongoing story that

on the first day of gettysburg it is said near disaster. the failure starts with the corps commander, an abolitionist but not great military commander

been the only thing i would add is that last farewell meeting where my father travels to gettysburg, has a copy of foreign affairs in which he says, we need to end this isolation of china and we need to recognize that the united states and china have to move forward together and of course eisenhower -- no recognition of red china has been called but at the end i eisenhower came to agree that it was time for a new shift. see you are watching the tv on c-span2, live coverage of the national book festival. jean edward smith, biographer of president eisenhower and david and julie nixon eisenhower, "going home to glory" about president eisenhower's post-presidency. the next question from here in the audience. >> the 60's was a tumultuous time and feminism was certainly in the air and i'm wondering, at home on the farm, if president eisenhower had anything to say about these changes and also made me, what was her role in these discussions and what she was she consulted by your grandfather, your grandfather in law and some of these issues and the general eisenhower have anything to say abou

it's the second day at gettysburg still.here's a sensibility in the painting itself -- it's like an extension of this color... liu: i used some birdcages in this group of paintings. the birdcage, for me, symbolize, maybe, the women in this paintings, their spiritual captivity, the loss of freedom. the women treated just like objects. maybe the objects, like the birdcage in this case here, like the embodiment of the women. man: the good news is that the mount is relatively universal, and they'll all be parallel lines. so you can switch them anytime you want. if you don't like the look, we can just change it. also i really want to see them hung there, and then i can make a decision. yeah, it's pretty hard to make a decision with them on the floor. uh-oh. oh, my god! who did the installation? who did the installation? well? well? well? so what do you think? liu: i remember that face probably. i painted it, washed away, painted it several times. also, i always do two things to my paintings. one is -- well, i did okay job, not ba

at the moment, the heaviest rains are falling and around gettysburg. we are getting some rains around baltimore. we will live men on the radar, focusing on harford county. also between cockeysville and hempstead, some rain showers -- we will zoom in on the radar. no thunder and lightning with this at the moment. how much rain has fallen? enough to bring out a flood warning for part of our area. here is what the radar looks like in general. most of the significant rain is in delaware and the eastern shore today. here is the heaviest rain in delaware, just south of the elkton area, around four or 5 inches of rain there. baltimore county and baltimore city, this is the area with over 1.5 inches of rain in a very brief time. that is why the warnings are in effect. a flash flood warning in effect in baltimore county and baltimore city until 7:45 this evening. there is some very intense rain. i mentioned the fact that it was isolated brain activity. not everybody has shared in all this stuff. at the airport today, only a trace of rain has been measured. for

one calling this his gettysburg moment. urging romney to rise to the occasion and fight. romney didn't back down from the substance of his comments. instead, brian, in a televised interview, he tried to turn the tables on the president, accusing him of running a government centered society and favoring redistribution of wealth. incidentally, the person who leaked that video is former president jimmy carter's grandson, who told nbc's michael isikoff he was angry that romney had attacked the former president. >> peter alexander, traveling with the romney campaign salt lake city, utah starting off our reporting tonight. peter, thanks. >>> romney's remarks about that 47% who pay no income tax set off an immediate flurry of fact checking. and tonight, nbc's andrea mitchell has our reality check. >> reporter: it started a year ago as a conservative reaction to occupy wall street's battle cry that they were the 99%. conservative blogger erick erickson declared he was the 53%. taxpayers subsidizing people in his words so they can hang out on wall street and complain. others chime

this is the impact of the battle of gettysburg on the way that the dead is honored. it is also remind all of you watching at this moment that this civil war death and the civil war premiers on public television on tuesday september 18th. here is the scene about getty burs. >> something new in the american experience would now begin to arise from the fields of gettysburg. as in the days, weeks and months following the battle, the tiny pennsylvania town now became the setting for one of the greatest collective efforts to honor the dead in the thinks ree-- history of the republic. >> though no formal policy or appropriation for burying the dead would emerge during the war itself, the year before congress had passed measures giving the president and the war department the power to purchase land at near battlefields, as circumstances and public health concerns dick state-- dictated. often adjacent to the overflowing military hospitals. but the burial ground that now began to take shape south of getties burg, one of five federal military cemeteries created during the war f

gettysburg college ba. georgetown university, m.d. and georgetown university medical school, associate professor, ten years. george washington university, clinical professor of neurology, ten years. 14 books, including most recently mysteries of the mind. richard martin restak. >> dr. restak, you have had quite an extraordinary career. first of all, you taught at georgetown. >> yes. >> then you abandoned the jesuits or did they dump you? then you moved over to g.w. >> yes. >> do you still teach inta at georgetown? >> i'm in the faculty but spend most of my time at g.w. >> okay. i have that number, by the way, and england and wales, out of every millionth person born alive in 1880, only 223 could expect to be alive 100 years later. 1880. so that's 112 years from now. 110, about that. for those born in 1990, out of one million people, 8,710 can expect to be alive 100 years later, 40 times greater. infants born in 2025 can expect to live 100 years. >> well, we should have cancer and heart disease, the big killers, under better control by

there is one batch heading towards gettysburg, but i think they will be staying well to our north. the patch up into pennsylvania that is to the south side of the weather front. the other side is down in ohio. about 1 inch of rain in sandusky ohio. as we go through time the weather will be sadly. -- steady. over the next 24 hours in our futurecast this is slowly comes our way, but tomorrow, before it does -- this slowly comes our way, but tomorrow, temperatures will be rising into the 80's, but then the showers and possibly even a thundershower tomorrow afternoon, and then an area of the pressure comes our way, so that will be clouds and more showers possibly even a thundershower into friday, and some of that, unfortunately will be lingering into the weekend. temperatures right around the 80's in washington. as we get into friday that cooler air begins to push in, and once it gets here, it will stick around and temperatures only in the upper 60's to low 70's. tonight, mostly cloudy, 59 to 65 and i think temperatures in town will only be dipping into the 70's. look at that sunrise.

you see the city state and federal government had to bring up troops who just won the battle of gettysburg a few days before in pennsylvania up to this act of civil insurrection who literally have warfare in the streets of manhattan. over the course of four days in the middle of 1863. you also have what becomes an anti-black program because as i said the racism and resentment result in indiscriminate attacks that african-americans. many people don't know there was flinching in the the streets of new york. but in july 1863 there was. this is the william jones who was lynched on clarkson street on what is now the lower west side. two other men, black men were lynched. three other black men were beaten to death. at least 18 african-americans coming men, women and children were injured during this outpouring of rage and racism. i should say that one of the things that i point out in the book is that there are tiny number of irish new yorkers who tried to intervene to help african-americans. there's a number of white new yorkers, but the mob was just so out of control that they couldn't help tr

. >> the gettysburg address, i wrote that lincoln wrote it on a napkin on a train on his way there. >'s a great story and more importantly it's a great speech. what's miraculous about that address is my mind is that it's only 272 words. he took 272 words to essentially rededicate the nation and take the declaration of independence and update it for our nation in the midst of a civil war. it's an amazing document, inspired a whole book. 272 words, that's a high bar. >> and the napkin story was trumped by the envelope that it was written on an envelope. and that's not true either, is it? >> no. it's not. but there are so many great stories. speechwriters, we love words, we love politics. but there's one great other story i'll share with you. that iconic, mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall speech, there was a huge fight between reagan's speechwriting staff and the state department. the state department wanted that line taken out of the speech. they thought it was unnecessarily provocative. reagan ultimately overrode his state department. that's why it stayed in the speech and that's why

and if we don't teach our kids about gettysburg, iwo jima and normandy how will we teach them about battleswould be islamic if we haven't won some of these battles. it's a history problem. >> congressman, thank you so much for joining us today. we appreciate it. >> you bet. my pleasure. >> another page, a football investigation, but it's not the nfl. a pop warner football coach in orange county, california, has been allegedly suspended for paying 11-year-old players to knock out players on the opposing team. the nonprofit operation pop warner has asked the coach and league president to step down. the clock is ticking down to the first presidential debate. both candidates are looking for a reagan moment that will change this election. >> here illegally, if they go to school here long enough, get a degree here, they can become permanent residents, i think that's a mistake. we have to follow the law and insist those that have come here legally -- >> we'll ask presidential historian douglas brinkley after the break. don't go away. does your phone give you all day battery life ? droid does. and

if there had not been a battle of gettysburg or battle of antietam, there had not in those gigantic complex but a bunch of skirmishes that ultimate had as much carnage, that is ultimately what is happen to the middle-class. june 1970 and 5 we make the point that the u.s. was at the height of its employment in manufacturing in total numbers of people. no one paid attention because the number had aris gotten up at the next month the numbers went down and continue to continued to go down there after. it was 19 or 20 million back then and now we are 10 to a million with a dramatic drop off during that point. all of it because of the policies we have been talking about. >> host: we talk about vise grips and rubbermaid but an example of modern american ingenuity initiative, innovation at a very successful level would be apple. >> guest: absolutely. >> host: you in the book say again that the trail of the american middle class, a betrayal of the american dream. look at what happened to this american company that is so successful. they have gone overseas for their manufacturing. >> guest: they don'

the federal government ultimately had to bring up troops with union troops who won the battle of gettysburg up to quell this act. you have warfare in the streets in manhattan island in the middle of 1863. you have what become an antiblack -- as i said the resame and reacceptment result in indiscriminate attacks at african-americans, many people don't know there was lynching in the streets of new york but in july 1863, there was. this is william jones who was lynched on clarkson street what is now the lowest west side. two other black men were lynched. three other black men were beaten to death. at least 18 african-american men, women, and children were injured during the outpours of rage and racism. i should say that one of the things that i point out in the book is that there were any number of irish new yorkers who tried to intervene to help african-americans. there a number of white new yorkers, but the mob was so out of control they couldn't prevent tragedies like this from happening. basically at the end of the civil war, the riters had gotten what they wanted. many african-americans l

if it not been a battle of gettysburg, not some of those gigantic conflict by just a bunch of skirmishes that ultimately have much carnage. that's what's happened to the middle class. there's no one event that you can point to. june 1979 would make a point in u.s., was at the very eighth of its employment in manufacturing, total number nobody paid any attention to it because the number had always got a. and next month it went down and continued to go down there after. it was like 19, 20 million backing. now we are around 10, 11. a dramatic drop off during the point. and all this because the policies within talking about. >> we talked about vise grips and rubbermaid. but an example of modern american ingenuity initiative, innovation at every success level would be apple. >> absolutely. >> and you in the books as the trail of the american middle class, a betrayal to the american dream, look at what happened to this american company that was so successful. they've gone overseas for their manufacturing. >> they don't make a thing in this country. one of the great examples, who we refer to as

believe of the people, by the people, for the people is in the constitution rather than being of the gettysburg, and for crying out loud, didn't we learn that? most e tbreej juice to me was many americans, almost half, believe from each according to his needs was written by james madison rather than karl marx who, by the way for the teenagers in the audience, is not one of the three stooges. add to that, you can keep going. i don't mean to commandeer right off the bat, but this goes to the top, as today say. you may remember a few years ago no less than congressman john boehner held up his copy of the pocket constitution and said i stand hereing the second sentence of the declaration of independence. i cast no aspersions, i begrudge no one because my blind spots were as broad as anyone. you probably could have convinced me years back that if you asked me how the constitution began, i would have said it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. [laughter] and to some degree, it was. by the way, i just want to say thank you for being here, thank you for having me here. it's good to see so

joining us is ralph peters, author of pain and gettysburg. he is a strategic analyst. show. i want your judgment in three areas. is it your judgment that president obama's policy in the middle east has been a failure? >> catastrophic failure. stuart: that is rather strong. catastrophic failure? >> it is catastrophic in the sense that for all but seeming good we have done and efforts made in many of these movements and countries the extremist movement have their strength. why have they been strengthened? first of all because apologies are counterproductive. when we apologize as a president cannot, he is addicted to apologies the message it sends fundamentalists and their potential converts is america admits it is bad and did terrible things and by implication america admits it is anti islamic. also there is a curious parallel that i haven't seen or heard anybody pick up. it is uncanny how similar it is domestically. when president obama blames all of our ills on america's rich and in the middle east the fundamentalist extremists blame all of their bills on rich america.

he spent world war i in gettysburg, commanding a training center.r, as lieutenant colonel. he was reduced to a major in the contraction of the army afterwards and remained a major first eckstein years in the army. most of the army does is first recorded by seniority. there were no meritorious promotions through the rank of general. and it took eight of 16 years to climb to the top of the promotion list. in the decade of the 20, he served under dictatorship really of the legendary with baron operations officer in europe and who was a cardinal, richard lugar, the military profession if you think that's fair. connor took a liking to eisenhower and took him with them to panama to be his executive officer. in 1921. and by so doing, save him for being court-martialed. the inspector general wanted to court martial eisenhower because he submitted a false voucher claiming $250.45 housing allowance for his son, ike, who happen to not be present at the time. $250.45, but when they court-martialed had when he decided to take eisenhower to panama, the inspector

presidential campaign no one is talking about the threat of terrorism it's as if it's perfectly harbor or gettysburgappened a longtime ago, this is a real and constant threat. and the other part of the danger is that we start pulling back on homeland security, that we not realize how important it is that we continue to spend money and fund it, that we continue to train our police and firefighters, that we continue to have a lee and son between federal, state and local police. if a terrorist makes it to a train with a bomb, if he makes it onto a plane with a bomb, to a train, a bridge or a tunnel chances are he's going to succeed. it's our job to stop them before they get there and that can only be done by intelligence work, by aggressive police work and we can't have groups like the civil liberties union or "the new york times" constantly attacking organizations bike the nypd who are doing such a phenomenal job. martha: civilians in many cases have also done their part, when they see something, say something which has been extraordinarily effective if you look back at some of these attempts and plan

from lexington, where the shot was heard round the world to gettysburg, where lincoln brilliantly summarizedthe conception and proposition of our nation, the stories of the american revolution and the civil war bring to life the ideals of liberty and democracy, fostered by our founders. unfortunately urbanization, suburban sprawl and unplanned commercial and residential development are constantly encroaching on many of the significant battlefields of the revolutionary war, the war of 1812 and the civil war. this encroachment poses a severe and growing risk to the preservation of these historic sites. history is best experienced by those who can touch it, feel it and live it. and the battlefields of the american revolutionary war and the war of 1812 and the civil war provide a unique opportunity for americans to experience where and how the epic struggle for our nation's independence and identity took place. in my home state of new jersey there are more sites of military engagements than in any other state, more military engagements were fought in new jersey than in any other state. and new j
