it is particularly difficult in the case of the subject like the life of oliver wendell holmes junior in part damn long.lived soim buried at arlington in march 1935 on the day that would have been his 94th birthday. not only that he did enough to fill four or five normal people's lives. as a young union officer in the civil war right out of harvar harvard, he saw almost every major battle the army of the potomac pod in the first three years of war, wounded seriously three times, twice nearly fatal s. as the pioneering legal scholar, he wrote what is still considered one of the most important and significant books in the history of legal scholarship called common law. not only a milestone in legal scholarship at one of the most important intellectual achievements in any field by an american in 19th century and help to put american scholarship on the map to say america is beginning to surpass britain. with a career of 20 years during that time incredibly influential to secure a place in american law for modern ideas for what we take to granted today but revolutionary at the time and pla

[applause] david: ok, so, now, justice stevens and previously, justice oliver wendell holmes, they retired when they were 90. would you like to break their record? have you given any thought about that? justice ginsburg: i spent the first week of july with justice stevens in what turned out to be the last week of his life. he was remarkable. he was 99 years old. since he left the court at age 90, he has written four books. so yes, he's my role model. [laughter] david: so, today, many people think that the court is very political, that people appointed to the court by democratic presidents and those appointed by republican presidents tend to follow the political desires of the republican or democratic party. do you think that's a fair assessment? and why do you think, if it's not fair, people have that view? justice ginsburg: people have that view because agreement is not interesting. disagreement is. so the press tends to play up 5-4 or 5-3 decisions. but if we could take just last term as a typical example, we had 68 decisions after full briefing and argument. of those, 20 were 5-4 or 5-3

one of them was turned down by the supreme court, and it was th en that oliver wendell holmes famous statement in writing the opinion that freedom of speech does not extend to the freedom to shout "fire" in a crowded theater. actually later that same year, 1919, he and justice brandeis actually dissented from another supreme court case on freedom of speech, the so-called abrams case, and wrote a very vigorous dissent that essentially said this censorship has gone way too far. ask me in a year, and i will have a much better answer for you when i reach that point in my book. .> also, a legal note any wants to know, is there legal basis for martial law, is there a way it is constitutional? >> good question. again, because i'm not a lawyer, it's not something i know as much about as i should. certainly, in national emergencies, the state governor has the power to declare an emergency and call the national guard, and under certain circumstances, the president has the power to federalize the national guard or call out the army. enforceer did that to school integration, in the city of littl

this poll was fabricated by british intelligence and i was one part of the campaign to make wendell whowas a pro war former democrat republican at the time the republican nominee make roosevelt defeat him in the fall and get republicans voted out of congress. election interference is not new. the united states has done it. what is new in what is striking is how hacking operations can supercharge this old coolest -- tool of statecraft in the hacking operations like we saw in 2016 supercharge effectiveness and that's what's striking and that's what i like about studying this stuff the complacent and historical context and get much more appreciation for its death. >> in the 2014 to 2016 election we see as being the biggest threat for 2020 and is there anyway the u.s. can do anything about disinformation? >> what worries me is the same election businesses elections have two purposes. the first is to pick a one and the second is to pick the loser. election interference operations can interfere. it can try to change voters minds with an imposed campaign a contrite he change votes of the hacki

it was the beginning, one part of an extensive campaign to get wendell winky he was a former democrat pro- or republican at the time. the republican nominee. to make roosevelt defeat him in the fall. and then to get isolation republicans out of congress. the brits carried out the campaign in 1940 with the presidential election. and then the congressional campaigns and 42 and 44. what it shows is it's not new. what is new, and what is striking is how hacking operations can supercharge this old tactic. we've got this wool a jet old craft in elections in a hacking operation can, like we saw in 2016 supercharge it six effectiveness. that's what i like so much about studying this stuff. you can place it in historical context and gain much more appreciation for its richness. see when you talk about the advancesap made with tween the 2014 and 16 elections when you see the biggest threat for 2020 and is there any way the u.s. can do to stop the disinformation or potential hacking? >> guest: we send the election business as they have two purposes. the first is to pick the winner and the second

congress saying for the first time in my life i urge you to be politicians, not idealists but if wendell phillips is not an idealist what is his job? this is what he was -- that's his entire life. suddenly i'm no longer an idealist but i'm going for what is practical well, they would never have gotten anything accomplished that had been their attitude. you know, it's conjugated thing. the best epitaph on this was by lucy stone at one of these where she said both are right, both are right. [laughter] and unfortunately, that does not gives an answer to what ought to be done. >> the other thought you mentioned earlier about restricting representation in congress if you deny the right to male citizens that was never triggered. >> never enforced. in my book there's little cartoon which shows early 20th century which shows congress asleep and second because they are ande why is congress not one african american men did lose the right to vote in the south and southern state should have lost a lot of their congressional, by the way, that's supposed to be automatic but it didn't happen. in fact,

obamacare was passed and now according to former health insurance executive turned whistleblower wendell potter the industry's expecting to clean up as a result of the coronavirus they're saying this is that as a possible opportunity for them to actually make more money and to have a net savings if you will and so i say some of the c.e.o.'s even told wall street financial analysts that they're expecting that because spittles and doctors are canceling a lot of routine care also the executives are saying to the. austral there if we have to spend more money that we added this year we were just raised rates for everybody next year that's what they do if they can get away with it because there is no other game in town it's a tremendous challenge this global pandemic how some specifically move cool characteristics here in the u.s. she ever turns the olders era washington. well the economic fallout from the pandemic is making it harder for international agencies to raise money among those the world food programme it says has been forced to cut rations for more than a $1000000.00 refugees in uga

reporter: wendell benefits from the care act -- when will benefits from the cares act be available? >> that is the $600? you have the coronavirus assistance act and then you have $600 percts but the person for unemployment was not available until -- i think it started now because of requirements that had not been met in washington for the dispersion of those funds. that is being met now. that money will be added to everyone's unemployment check who files for unemployment under the unemployment system. the $1200 per person is automatic from the treasury department but you have to be known as a taxpayer. year, have not filed this what they will use is what was on the books last year. a deposit account, it will go directly into your bank account. if you do not, they will send you a check. all of those things are being handled. there were some restrictions and rules that had not been thought out and finalized in the .overnment but they are now those checks should start flowing. we are working with the director of the department of commerce. we were preparing to see what we could do ours

and spender said he means a woman cannot be president and wendell phillips, you may have heard of him, simply diminished, in the fifth amendment gives us both men and women the right to remain silent read so he, in article two, means that a woman could be president. innes generic, is not exclusionary. diana: that really flushes out the point earlier that often it is used in often comes into play while we are dealing with political and cultural issues. it makes sense because we communicate permanently for language. it also makes me think about dealing with the idea of adding or making popular, new third non- gender pronouns or things like this today but there is also history where the p&g, and their construction and if in the fascinating to because it can help break down the essentialism that is sort of bacon to the idea of like, what those terms are because they have always existed read and the only mean one thing. and even the gender of neutralization of heat, is interesting to me. historically from what you are just saying. was there something that you found compelling about the his

former health insurance executive wendell potter tweeted in response -- "the earnings were so good, the company said it still expects to make as much in total profits this year as they predicted in december when no one could predict the massive loss of life and jobs caused by the coronavirus. in other words, they're thriving during a pandemic." a report by two grassroots workers rights organizations suggest coronavirus cases i in e u.s. amazon warehouses will likely exponentially increase in the coming days as the corporation refuses to shut down some of its facilities, even when workers test positive for covid 19. more than half of amazon's 110 wawarehouse facilities in the country have root of it cases of coronavirus. meanwhile, amazon ceo jeff bezos has told shahareholders he now wants to test all employees for covid-19, despite the economic crisis triggered by the pandemic come amazon stock continues to climb, lifting this is personal fortune e to n nearly $140 bill. amazon has shut down all of its warehouses in france after a court ruled tuesday the company needs to reaeassess the

as it was put, his associates often a simple susan, a baboon, and aimless joker abolitionist wendellillips called him a huckster of politics. george mcclellan, his opponent in the 1864 election openly disdained him into such well-meaning baboon. i rather hold a candle to that but he was convinced it was good reason that he was doomed to lose with incalculable consequences for the future of the nation and all that he had done and all that he had sacrificed to that end. we need to remember that this is how history happened. it's very much directed towards young people but i think all of us can benefit. we need to remember this is generally how history has been. it isn't like a hollywood movie in which the background music swells and the crowd in the room applauds an athletes to their ft as they dispense the words and the camera pans the room full of smiling faces. in the real history background music doesn't smile. the trumpets do not sound into the critics often seem louder than the applause. they have to wonder is he acting in vain, or the criticisms of others in fact true well-timed

joining me now is a pulmonary and critical physician and wendell potter, president of business for medicareyou for being here. i'll start with you, commissioner fried. you just heard the former governor say he wouldn't need permission or encouragement from the federal government to do his job and protect the citizens of florida. can you explain as somebody that is very familiar with the government in florida, where he seems to be so halting and hesitating in his response when he has the single oldest by gauge state in the country? >> you know, joy, first of all, thanks for having me on again tonight. i don't know. you know how hard we all fought to even get the governor to this point. and, yet, his executive order is filled with even loopholes. and then hours later he quietly signed an additional order that had even more loopholes and less restrictions than even the first order. creating really uncertainty with so many of our local officials. and it's uncertainty is hurting our rural community. i oversea agricultural, $137 billion industry in the state of florida. everybody i'm talking to a

he's communicating in 1841, writing letters with randall wendell phillips, a white abolitionist, who is certainly inbably a mentor to nell some ways, about a biography of attucks. so, through the 1840's, his first writings about attucks in the 1840's and then in the 1850's, he does not identify -- i might be wrong -- but i don't think he identifies attucks as someone who might be enslaved. so, i don't think it would have made a difference because the identity of someone who was a --identity as someone who was a self-liberated former slave was not really part of the narrative that nell started to construct in the 1840's. does that make sense? >> of course, but the advertisement that you are referring to from 1750 does not use the word "slave" in the notice. there's an earlier advertisement for a fugitive named michael johnson. and some of us would argue that son,ars is actually which the topographer in boston reduced to johnson, because his father was prince jonah. but if his mother is indeed a free, native woman, he would not have been born a slave. professor kachun: well, based on t

the two main constraints on freedom that free enterprisers identified was i have that quote from wendell wilke before where he said it's not big business we need to fear any more, a lot of the free enterprisers were information progressives who came of age, you know, critical of big business and so forth but what they said is that now big government has taken that place and now we have to really worry about big government. that was definitely what they saw as the biggest constraint on freedom but i would tell you secondly was organized labor. they were very concerned about that. as a possible constraint on freedom. >> in the far back there. >>> hi. steven. i do research and the question i have is i'm probably one of the youpger ones in the crowd and i found especially with the recent nevada cause sues we see senator sanders who very popular and i find that a lot of people of my generation, a lot of younger people we hear terms of free enterprise or free market and it just is like wall for us. i see a lot of my friends or colleagues talk about well we have student debt, the environment is
