after they seize the vessel the rhode islanders bounds up the crew, road them ashore.there's a pub up the street and a little monument that you can see that recognizes the evening that they were rode ashore, jun. and then they went back out to the stranded gaspee and set her afire. now it had cannon and cannons use powder and powder is kept in a magazine. so when the fire got to the powder magazine, this happened. the gaspee was blown to smither reasons and -- was blown apart and that was the end of her predatory behavior in narragansett bay. up in massachusetts, more than a year later, a number of massachusetts colonists went on board a british ship, and they pushed tea bags off of the boat into boston harbor, which i'm sure was a very brave and wonderful thing to do. from rhode island's perspective, we outsmarted the british. we've got the boat stuck. we seized the boat. we captured the entire crew, and then we blew it up. more than a year before the tea bag incident in boston harbor. i think we're entitled to some credit for that. but massachusetts produced adamss,

it is also home to the university of rhode island, founded in 1892. our state's flagship public land grant university that today is leading research and innovation in the blue economy with disciplines ranging from engineering to oceanography, entrepreneurship, health care, and so much more. the town has grown and evolved but has never lost its rural character, beautiful seaescapes and hardworking roots. whether it was the farmers who tilled the land, the millworkers who built the middle class, or the university researchers on the cutting edge of innovation, everyone in south kingstown, from wakefield piecedale has contributed to the town's success in one way or another. the people of south kingstown built a strong and vibrant community over the past 300 years and may it continue to thrive for generations to come. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentleman from louisiana, mr. johnson, for five minutes. mr. johnson: thank you, madam chair. this week congress is going to take up one of the most conseq

ben rhodes, clint watts, thank you both for being here.efore we go to break we just talked a moment ago by the danger of having these materials in an unsecured location. but the former president says that he was allowed to do so, and here is why he says he could. >> under the presidential records act, which is civil, not criminal, i had every right to have these documents. whatever documents a president decides to take with him he has the right to do so. it is an absolute right. this is the law. >> and that is an absolute lie. for facts sake, that is not the law. the presidential records act says that the moment a president leaves office, the archivist of the united states takes full responsibility for, quote, custody, control, and preservation of, and access to, the presidential records of that president. it is clear, as of january 20th, 2021, all of the trump administration documents belong belonged to the national archives, not donald trump. he stood at the podium at a fund-raiser and allied. we will be right back. ht back. away things.

i want to bring in monica alba and ben rhodes. monika, i understand that, strategically, in operationally, and at every level, everyone is publicly saying very little. i know it's been a very busy day behind the scenes. take us inside what that looks like? >> exactly, nicole. there's been a flurry of diplomatic activity. even starting as soon as yesterday, those were the first signs that something was unfolding. the white house was, of course, very closely monitoring, gathering intelligence on, and talking to allies and partners. interestingly, we know that president biden hasn't spoken to this on camera. he had the opportunity to. a little bit earlier today, when he was leaving the white house. for camp david, which was a pre-planned trip. the reporters who are accompanying him could have asked him to come to the camp and give a statement if he wanted to. he chose, by design, not to address this, even though we know, of course, behind the scenes, he has been briefed repeatedly. he was in a meeting this morning with everybody from

charlie you are from rhode island so i feel like i don't know a lot of people from rhode island. >> inight? >> a lot of people saying that and is ever going to happen. here comes kevin costner because that is stop and chancellor. keeps you humble, i love it. >> kelly: i love people like that, who makes you take out the trash. last time charlie was here he was talking about his first time doing comedy, the memory of first time doing comedy? >> it was an open mic and i brought 20 friends and i performed the next week, no friends so i will remember that and i stayed in medicine for ten more years. >> kelly: it broke you. sp2 broke me, did not do very well. >> kelly: it is so hard. >> just like performance and you're just a list with the mic and not anything else. when you do well call me feel like a million bucks, when you bomb, you are broke. financially. >> make me laugh. >> he is good but he is no kevin. he is not cost up funny, which is not funny at all. >> kelly: so you are, your first role was "the hangover." it is turning 19 next year, which is crazy. i have to ask, because it was

they're led by insurrectionist stewart rhodes, seen... wait! where is he? i see are trees, bushes, and two floating eyeballs. rhodes and four of his followers are facing charges of seditious conspiracy for planning to use violence to keep the ex-president in office. fun fact: they're being tried at the prettyman federal courthouse. if they appeal, it goes to the handsomeboy circuit court, then possibly all the way to the supreme cutie patooties. january 6 wasn't just about smashin' glass and hangin' pence. it was also about apps for the table. because prosecutors say that after the u.s. capitol attack, members of the oath keepers met for a late-night dinner at an olive garden. explains their new slogan: "when you're here, your family didn't hug you enough as a child." ♪ supercalifragilistic ♪ [clapping] we don't know all the specifics of the dinner, as prosecutors did not divulge the details of what the oathkeepers ate. of course they didn't. that's olive garden's other slogan. "we cannot identify what you ate." pretty sure there was cheese in there, though

anyone in all of the january 6th defendants, two thirds that of stewart rhodes. of very unrepentant, violent, nasty, pitiful figure. i don't think that he's saying that because he didn't get the private communication. this is just him on tv. does not really advance the case against trump in a court of law. it does in a court of public opinion. it makes it clear that when mobilized, so many people work trump's words. and he took as an actual call to arms. >> harry what about what ryan just reported and as we've all heard? as rodriguez was being led out of the court he screamed, trump won. that is the big lie. will that make any impact of the charging decision for the authors of that lie? >> the short answer is no, for the same reason. he's just taken as a kind of crazed isolated guy. even at the doj, as i say really going after him hard they got plenty of other evidence that there is indications up, including what you said about brown's testimony, and if he gave, it i think either has immunity, or he's not a target. that's now at the level of trump, or at least tr

here with us again, ben rhodes, former deputy national security adviser to president obama.ly, do you have a suspicion about what happened here? he's 134 miles outside moscow. he knows how it all works. the military intelligence, he turns around, he's now -- >> there are a few things yet to keep in mind. first of all, not too early -- to make a run at the threat of russia. second of all, prigozhin really came to a degree of prestige in the last several years. he was the tip of the spear for a lot of lattimer pond top priorities. the election interference, the war in syria and getting influence to national resources and africa. he would've felt his own prestige growing up. he was not just an, oligarchy's got his own army. the irony of, this par the reason that putin has a cut up is like this, that viability. it's also because he doesn't want his own military and intelligence services to get too strong on their own so they would take a shot at him. too >> look what happened. i think prigozhin felt like he had this growing prestige. in the war, what happened? they thought they

host: this is thomas in rhode island, line for republicans. what is the biggest problem facing the country? caller: good morning. i am a vietnam veteran, disabled veteran. i know what it is to give life and i know what it is to take life. i believe one of the number one problems in america is a lack of respect, and it shows in regard to homegrown americans, veterans and nonveterans living on the sidewalks of the 50 states. the lucky ones are living in tents, the unlucky ones are living completely on the sidewalks. the method of food is to beg for loose change so that they may be able to go into a coffeehouse and purchase a cup of coffee and a doughnut. this is america. our southern border is the number one problem that is causing this. i believe today, 7 million, million with an m, illegal immigrants have crossed our border. they are provided hotels, motels , food vouchers, clothing vouchers and all kinds of other incentives. at the same time, we take a broom and brush the american citizen to one side. the problem with the border is a democrat

so our levels here in rhode island haven't gotten quite that high to tell people to stay indoors.en what we call unhealthy for sensitive groups. so i've beenjust recommending folks to just take it easy, to reduce your air exchange. if you're exerting and breathing a lot in, you'rejust getting a heavier dose. but if you're ultra—sensitive, it is recommended to stay inside. and if you have air conditioning on, you need to be aware of filtration on that, you want to have good filtration — if you do turn on an ac without filtration, the indoor air quality will look very similar to the outdoor air quality. to france now — where four children are in hospital after they were stabbed in a playground in annecy in the east of the country. a three—year—old british child is among the injured, another is dutch. two adults were also hurt, with one in a critical condition. police have arrested the suspect who they say is syrian with refugee status in sweden. the attack isn't being linked to terrorism. lucy williamson reports. today in annecy, toddlers were the targets. the safety of a summer pla

stewart rhodes just this weekend has done an interview from prison. they are allowed to do interviews from prison? a phone interview from prison in which he says he believes from his perspective as a january 6th defendant just prosecuted on sedition charges he believes trump, too, will be brought up on sedition charges indeed on four different felony charges related to january 6th. so, you know, believe stewart rhodes or not he is the highest profile january 6th defendant that there is. he himself is a yale trained lawyer. he says that trump is due for january 6th charges as well. we shall see. there is a word that gets used a lot these days in the news. we use the word unprecedented all the time because it often feels we are in a moment where all kinds of stuff is happening that has never happened before and is brand new. that can feel overwhelming. how do you understand what we're living through and what is going on if you have no frame of reference for processing it? as i mentioned at the top of the show we've got a new podcast that just launched t

so democratic senator from rhode island, sheldon whitehouse. thank you so much for your candor and for joining us today. thanks, dave. so what's the bottom line? correction is as old as politics. that's just nothing new. they've always been scandals at all levels of government, but until recently, the us supreme court was sort of an escape. it was looked upon as the purest of a pure. but the error of judges being the best of us is now probably over and like so many other pillars of the us government these days, americans trust in the courts. objectivity and credibility is really collapsing and fast. the courts are openly seen as political tools. my guest sen, sheldon whitehouse, is right to blow the whistle. the creeping corruption of american institutions is undermining the democratic equation in america bit by bit and making it very hard for us leaders to talk about promoting democracy when their own is in such disarray . and that's the bottom line, the episode of the series expose the imperial origins of the drug trade. commerce was good fir

former deputy national security adviser, president obama and my friend and ben rhodes.ou for doing this with me today. >> hello, jan, good to see you. >> i wanted to start, there's been a ton of reporting on what's in these documents. there's obviously an outline, a summary of 31 of them in the indictment. from the reporting, we know there is a contingency plan on attacking iran. a map of the war. zone the trump family has made a lot of money off of saudi arabia. so, if you look at, that from reading the indictment, who do you think might want access to these documents, if trump were to share? them >> >> well, when you talk about things like the american war plan for iran, a lot of countries, certainly countries in the middle east like saudi arabia or the united arab emirates, also countries like russia and china who want to understand how the u.s. military operates,, looked, and i think it's really important to note, first of, all something like the war plan for iran, it's not something that can become not sensitive. that's a future oriented document and it's not somet

we can see clustering's of that in rhode island, and parts of eastern massachusetts. we can see that sense of african culture developing there. that was -- it was much larger and more -- and stronger as we go further south and the african group got larger and larger as he went. they also tended, as we go south, to get more diverse. they were diverse everywhere. i have all the numbers in my book and you will see lots and lots of tables about where africans came from and every region. one can begin by saying they came from every part -- to each american colony, they came from many parts of africa but they were grouped. there were concentrations within that grouping and the concentrations varied as the go from one colony to a mother. i go into much detail about where they came from. we went to the villages in africa. my wife, she went looking for places of origin. and finding them and all that is in the book as well. as well as same for the british groups which are in my book albion's seed. the same sort of patterns with different proportions in the different countries.

supreme court ethics debate puts rhode island senator whitehouse in the spotlight.enator sheldon whitehouse says he was not surprised by a bombshell report saying samuel alito failed to disclose luxury vacations paid for in part by a billionaire with cases in the high court. he says it seems terribly familiar and has all the basic ingredients, the right-wing activist billionaire, the extravagant travel gifts, jet travel, and the fixer of the court for the billionaires. he writes that the white house has been railing against the courts conservative majority for years, arguing the justices are doing the bidding of right-wing interest groups. his critique is getting more attention in washington amid a drumbeat of investigative reports election conflicts of interest among the justices.
