what douglass was attracted to was john brown's long discussion, vague discussion, sorry for the john brown sainthood club -- [laughter] david: i turned in my key to that a few years ago. supported brown when the plan was what brown called once the subterranean passageway, which was supposed to be this series of forts manned by lots of men, a militarized underground railroad. douglass was so desperate that he raised money for it. but when he found out that brown was going to tackle the largest federal arsenal, he said, i am out of here. lincoln's reaction was a typical republican antislavery reaction, his reaction to john brown was to condemn the acts, which he did, and argued john brown deserve to be hanged. at the same time, lincoln and many republicans would then still focus the story back onto the issue of slavery, and if we do not solve this problem or do something about it, we will have more violence and more john browns. taht was the republican move, of course, that scared the you know what out of southerners. they were already scared of lincoln and the republican party. so, in

i'm sure many of you have guessed this is one of the pikes john brown intended to enslave people with in his rate of 1859. i'm sure many of you are looking at this thing and thinking this doesn't really fit with 19th century warfare. we think of the civil war as being on the front tier of modern warfare. we had a little bit before about the rifle fire rhymes and technology. even though it didn't have that much of an impact, that is the type of weapon we think of what we think of the civil war period. on the eve of the civil war this is the weapon that john brown chose to use in his attempt at slave rebellion. there is a good essay that was published recently on these pikes by a historian named jason phillips. he help me think through the meaning of this thing. he makes the point that even though they look medieval rather than 19th-century, they were the perfect weapon for what john brown wanted to do. he gave a great deal of thought about what would be suited to the task at hand. back in the day pikes for the weapon of choice. they had been the weapon you can stand up to calvary with

so giving john brown money was a pretty dangerous thing. of course, robert reid church, who i mentioned, was born a slave, ended up escaping. he ends up going to memphis and just becoming a, you know, basically sort of a, sort of a jack of all trades. but his main thing was real estate. and the interesting thing about memphis is that's kind of where the ku klux klan was founded. as well as blues music, so a lot of things finish. [laughter] happened in memphis. but basically, it is this black man. he was doing very well in real estate, buying up properties during, you know, different events in memphis. but also he was dealing with just an incredible racist backlash. there was a really bad race riot in 1856 in memphis where, you know, dozens of black people were killed, churches were burned, homes were burned. he was actually -- there was an a assassination attempt in the the -- on him. he was shot in the head, survived. he battled all his life with, basically, the klan in memphis. but he continued buying up property. also was very influentia

a pike.st article, i one of the pikes john brown intended to arm his slaves with. i'm sure many of you are looking at this thing and thinking this doesn't fit with 19th-century warfare. we often think of the civil war as being on the frontier of modern warfare. we heard a bit before about the .ifled firearms, technology that's the kind of weapon we think of when we think of the civil war. nonetheless, on the eve of the civil war, this is the weapon john brown chose to use in his attempt at a slavery rebellion. there's a good essay on these pikes by jason phillips. he helped me think through the meaning of these things. medievalgh they look rather than 19th-century, in fact, they were the perfect weapon for what john brown wanted to do. day, pikes had been the weapon of choice for commoners against the elite, the weapon you could stand up to cavalry with, the weapon that could take down the aristocracy. four brown, this was the perfect thing to use to bring down the new aristocracy of slaveholders. he had these things custom-made. connecticutd with a blacksmith to m

the former parliament member, john brown. eresting that much of the attention is focused on great britain and whether it can make it in this club, get out of this club, but who the hell would want to be in that club? >> well, of course, a former conservative, and vice-president , i could agree with you, you who would? who wants to be free? surely your nation would like to be free and not under a federal state which in many ways, particularly legal conditions, and trading conditions, is alien. neil: why can't they just break away? i know a no deal brexit, had they done it in the september of 2017, i know that's not moment to do that, but a lot of these issues would have been settled. >> absolutely, unfortunately the pop tigses didn't agree, as in many parts of the world as in the united states over the border wall. the politicians are betraying brexit and extraordinary week last week. on thursday last week, they did a very strange thing, they voted against the second referendum, but at the same time voted to extend article 50 w

john brown's attempt to take over harpers ferry and start a slave rebellion does not exactly work, but it does upset a lot of people and gets people talking about the slavery issue. and, they should have been. there certainly talking about it in illinois in 1858. douglas was running for the third term in the senate and he is national figure, and the republican party in illinois did something that traditionally parties to not do. at the state convention they endorsed their own candidate for the u.s. senate and it was lincoln. douglas new from 20 years experience how tough it was going to be to take on lincoln and lincoln starts following him around illinois when he finishes speaking and finally they agreed to a set of seven debates and in the course of these debates lincoln is already getting some traction nationally and he has gotten votes in the 1856 republican convention but in 1858 he has rocketed to stardom and is taking on douglas. douglas, for his part, winds reelection thanks to something we have all heard plenty about. gerrymandering. the 1850 legislative district were still in

in my first job was down the road from the church -- we would reenact john brown's raid in harpers ferry. we went up to gettysburg in number of times and reenacted pickett's charge. i was blessed to grow up in a place so rich in history. when you combine that with my informsots in history, who i am as a public servant. >> what did your parents do for a living? rep. roy: my mom and dad met in austin, texas. irs.d worked for the he did a lot of information technology development in the 1980's and 1990's. he worked here and then ended up retiring back to texas. >> did he influence your conservative roots? rep. roy: my family is all generally conservative. mostly from the standpoint of that texas can-do spirit. my grandmother lost my grandfather and was raising my dad with polio -- he had to figure out how to walk and deal with all these consequences of having had polio and never ask for anything. -- asked for anything. my mom sacrifices -- that's the american way. it's the way of texas. the opportunity you have to succeed and excel by your own work, your own work ethic. our lives are a lot

we would reenact john brown's raid in harpers ferry when i was young. we went up to gettysburg and number of times. that was part of my ap history class. i grew up in a place rich in history where you truly understand our founding principles that is made this country so great. when you combine that with my texas recent history and what's so great about being a texan, it forms to i am as a public servant. >> what did your parents do for a living? >> my mom and dad met in austin texas. my dad worked for the irs. he was in auditing and data processing. he ended up retiring back to texas. >> did he influence your conservative roots question mark >> my family is all generally conservative. mostly from the standpoint of that texas can-do spirit. as i describe my family and my grandmother and her influence on my life being a single mom in figuring out how to make it work and how she lost my grandfather and was raising my dad with polio -- despiteorked hard having the ravages of polio. he had to figure out how to walk and deal with the consequences. he never as

not going to change the charges in the state of new york that now face him the nx is cia director john brown fan of mr trump says he has no doubt the president will pardon him do you feel the way. i think i think that. mr brennan may be mistaken in this regard donald trump doesn't really have a lot of will to the people who aren't useful to him and at this point now that paul man of fort faces. thirteen charges in new york against him of the from the manhattan district attorney you know there is no reason for donald trump to get paula man a four out of jail he is going to benefit is is should have flipped when he had the chance or should have told the truth to the special counsel when he had the chance these charges might not have been levied against him had he been seen to be somebody who had remorse and was cooperating with authorities so i don't think that triple pardon him at the new york matter has to go to trial it does but right now from the from the initial reading that i've done on it it looks like a very open and shut case in terms of the way he misrepresented a value of his assets

former parliament member john brown joins us now.ost recent embarrassment, because every time we have come up to these votes, the scuttlebutt has been that maybe this time she will get it through. >> well, i actually, it's the most important victory but it's a slimmer majority than before which shows that the political arm twisting and political bribes and the wasting of time is beginning to work and tit's victory but slightly disappointing it was less by less. of course, prime minister may, what most people fail to see, is lly fighting for germany and european union. i mean, you have trump on the one hand whose patriotic, working for american people, wants to deliver on his election manifesto, is very clear, is very strong, a great speaker because he speaks with passion that comes from conviction. may is almost the reverse. she's unclear, she says no option, no deal is better than a bad deal. now she says no deal is not an option. she's working basically for the global elite and trying systematically while saying she's for brexit to

joining me former uk parliament member john brown and our own ashley webster. rt with you. there was more optimism 24 hours ago. people were saying that england is simply flat-footed and that a no-deal brexit would be catastrophic? >> of course that is the side of the remainers or remoaners to pretend that would be catastrophic. in fact there would be huge opportunities for britain to trade with the rest of the world, free of overregulation, overbearing and laws of the european union but the reason there was optimism because people started to believe that there were changes, that managed to get changes. they didn't. it was full of typical vague euro speak which means almost nothing. it looked like it was drafted in germany, not in london. so people are still upset. the northern irish will be upset. brexit people will be upset. a lot of remainers will be upset, because what it leaves britain, transfers britain from being full paid-up voting member of the european union with vast sell state, with no vote, but still subject to european trading rules, european tarif
