civil so with the civil rights act to, break the filibuster there onlyy two names abraham lincoln.how ce how can you forget? [laughter] >> the pulitzer prize winner the 1985.u? >> you disappear when you write a book?? >> it takes so long. i took me longer to write about world war ii that it took theen time to be fought. m it's not like i'm writing every day but i'm reading ands researching and the diaries ii love the lov gossip to. >> you like the book toto her?md >> and has been a a rough year since my husbands died yearssgon one -- a few months ago now i gives me something to do and something to think about it i probably couldn't do it otherwise i like giving the never hsion in a certain sense i really do feel w you can imagine another political system the d relationshipsif differently that history allows us to know that we will get through this again once we can make it happen ierei remember fdr speaking about world war ii we were building 4,000 fighter planes a year hehe said will never be able to do ii but that is what i'm hoping thit book can do. that means we can help in the st

obviously by the second inaugural of abraham lincoln. the whole theme of that was opposed by both sides. they were fully answered [inaudible] suicide divisions always in the countries and ways to bring them together. look at the way civil rightsut played together in the 50s and 60s. [inaudible] we do come together and we will again. >> why do you think the l lbj civil rights leadership perhaps didn't carry over to other areas? >> in this administration, certainly carried over to domestic politics. butas foreign policy was foreign to him. he thought if he could get ho chi minh in the room but somehow he would be able to persuade him that it was better to have public work projects in vietnam than to have a war and somehow because he didn't want to wear the beginning he would make the decisions without fully telling then public what he was doing. when you lose trust of the public are not telling the truth about what's going on, then your presidency was over and that is when it was guarded. he's actually admit. and that makes a difference. >

a moment of happiness hope and history those are the words of moldings opposition leader abraham soli as he declared victory in the country's presidential election but only official results show that solar received fifty eight percent of the vote while the incumbent president i mean got forty two percent well the result comes as a surprise because i mean was widely expected to win and most of his rivals are in jail a warning shot at ballots his report contains some flash photography. opposition supporters on the streets of mali is their leader abraham mohammed so lay claim to victory and mo deeds presidential elections. for five years president i believe you mean has been in power they say he has been dethroned and wanted to conceive this is a moment of happiness this is a moment of hope this is a moment of history for many of us this is been a difficult journey a journey that has led to a prism so four years of. politics in the mold daves has been to mulch you a sense mohammed in the shade became its first democratically elected president ten years ago he was ousted in occur in a spe

what do you think of president trump's comparison to abraham lincoln?well, so many things stand out. it's just an astonishing comparison. i mean, lincoln was known for having a deep-rooted confidence but also an extraordinary sense of humility about himself. when trump was talking about his own humility, he said that he loved pope francis so much because pope francis was very, very humble, just like him. i think there's nobody that would imagine that president trump is humble. there's also a sense in which one of the great things about lincoln was that he had gone through adversity, he had lost time and time again. he lost his first suit for the state legislature, lost twice in the u.s. senate, he never gave up. and when trump was asked about his temperament, he said, "i have the very, very best temperament of anyone who's ever run for president because i never, ever lose. i always win." there's just so many things temperamentally that are so different that i'd like him to look up to lincoln, maybe he can learn from him but it's very, very hard to make

so starting with delia ehrhardt and abraham lincoln and rosa parks. jackie robinson.but here was jackie robinson this is what he hero looks like. my daughter i did seal ball for her. and she also loves our dog but my youngest he loves to color and draw and i can tell you that when i was five years old he proved you could use your creativity to put good into this world and i hope if i'm doing nothing else then use my creativity for good in this world. the amazing part does it update as election was approaching we saw something amazing happened. and they started to pop up i am martin luther king jr. and george washington and then the whole series started to sell like crazy and just like everything is down. it is so incredible to support the written word the most important and dangerous and most valuable thing in the world, ideas. a a book is full of ideas and i love that part of it. books and movies and ratings are down we have some things we are looking at. but our kids books were selling like bananas. everybody was tired just like i was. they were all tired to see pol

lincoln, when abraham made the gettysburg address speech, the great speech, did you know he was ridiculed? he was ridiculed. he took the horse and carriage up from the white house, he wrote it partially in that carriage and partially at a desk in the lincoln bedroom, which is incredible, by the way, and the white house, and he went to gettysburg and he delivered that speech, the gettysburg address. by he was excoriated the fake news. they had fake news then. he was excoriated. they said it was a terrible, terrible speech. they said it was far too short. many of us know it by memory. and it wastoo short, far too flowery, too flowery, fourscore and seven years ago, right, too flowery. then he died. 50 years after his death, they said it may have been the greatest speech ever made in

and abraham lincoln's announcement of the preliminary emancipation proclamation on the battle was over. our guest is a former historian. here's a preview. the president has decided that he will not fight the war with one hand behind his back any longer. he listens politely and reads his letter then, on july 22, five days after the act is passed, lincoln sits down with his cabinet and reads them and emancipation proclamation. they tell him boss, not a good time. we lost on the peninsula, the war is not going well, this could look like an act of desperation. it might backfire. we need a victory. we need a military victory. for this political event to

he said president trump, i knew abraham lincoln. [ laughter ] i babysat abraham lincoln.nd you, sir, are no abraham lincoln. although i do think this is interesting. at first i thought, that's a ridiculous comparison. i went back, i googled the gettysburg address. did you know they have a short film of that speech? somehow they got a film, before film was even invented, it's an amazing thing. i watched it this morning. i was surprised to learn maybe trump isn't so far off. >> fourscore and seven years ago, that's when this country was really fantastic. that i can tell you. now we've got all these irishmen and eye-talians sneaking across the ocean and stealing our jobs. eating our mutton. and it is a bigly problem, believe me. huge. and my haters don't even have the courage to criticize me to my face. they prefer to remain anon -- anonymous -- i need this word like i need anyway, let's make america great again. you're all mentally retarded. >> jimmy: maybe they aren't so dissimilar. [ applause ] daniel day lewis is amazing, isn't he? [ laughter ] the president said many li

obviously, by the second inaugural of abraham lincoln, the whole theme of that was that the sin of slavery was shared by both sides. both sides prayed to the same bible, neither's prayers were fully answered, but now with malice toward none and charity for all, let us bind up the nation's wounds. we've had divisions always in the country, but we seem to have brought them together. the civil rights struggle, the desegregated south, we get voting rights, we get fair housing, we do come together. we will again, we just have to fix it somehow. >> host: why do you think that the lbj civil rights leadership perhaps didn't carry over to other areas? >> guest: in his administration? well, it certainly carried over to the great society. it certainly carried over to domestic politics. but foreign policy was foreign to him. i know that's the a crazy thing to the say. he thought if he could get ohio chi min in the room, he thought he would be able to persuade him it was better to have dams and public works projects in vietnam than a war. and somehow because he didn't really want the war in the beginni

springfield was the capital in 1937, and the city is known for being a hometown of abraham lincoln. joining us on the bus is state representative tim butler, a republican, who represents the house seat that lincoln once did. good morning to you. illinois sprinkle , located on route 66. springfield was the capital in 1937, and the city is known for being a hometown of abraham lincoln. stateg us on the bus is representative tim butler, a republican, who represents the house seat that lincoln once did. good morning to you. let's start with the fiscal health of illinois. it is a state that is consistently ranked at the bottom or near the bottom of fiscal health when it comes to various state rankings big white is that? -- rankings. why is that? guest: we have huge pension debt in the state of illinois. with $130 billion in unfunded pension liability. medicaid payments have skyrocketed over the next -- past decade and a half. on top of that, we are coming off an unprecedented budget impasse, what we did not have a budget for the state of illinois for two years. that accumulated unpaid bi

the burial place of abraham is is really one of the holiest places in all of western civilization could even say the birthplace after jerusalem and mount mariah one of the birth places or the burial places of the founder of western civilization the monotheistic concept and why is it that we're so divided. that the reason why the jewish community is in hebron and the reason why there are soldiers and checkpoints from the jewish communities perspective is because of the need for security to secure the safety of the eight hundred fifty jews who live in the old city of hebron and the hundreds of thousands of israelis and religious jews from around the world that come to the tomb of the patriarchs and the tomb of jesse and ruth and abraham avraham of you know synagogue and neighborhood during the jewish holidays or passover coach. brown as a front line of the israel palestine conflict or brawn problem will not be solved by itself it's part of like i said a microcosm of israeli palestinian relations the jewish people the israelis why did that seem like from the outside world that they're armi

walked out of that constitutional vengeance to keep the government great book also finishing up a life abraham lincoln two volumes. it is better. being from the way with the greatest president of the challenges for those victories get through so you please ask me what it meant that i have going through washington i had in my mind what that looked like it was pretty different i am doing well. want to understand history for a privilege have a living country through difficult time confident we can make it through challenging times as well.. k [inaudible

. >>> coming up next, president trump has compared himself to one of our greatest presidents, abraham lincoln. but how does president trump's ability to lead compare to some of our presidents? i'm talking to the author of a fabulous book "the president during turbulent times." kind of fascinating, don't you think? woman 4: ...with humira. woman 5: humira targets and blocks a specific source of inflammation that contributes to both joint and skin symptoms. it's proven to help relieve pain, stop further irreversible joint damage, and clear skin in many adults. humira is the #1 prescribed biologic for psoriatic arthritis. avo: humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-l

in the case of abraham lincoln.obviously a great leader but you cite principally the emancipation proclamation. why do things that is an example of great leadership? >> if i may say something first, in dealing with leaders, i realize all of them lived in turbulent times. that's the title of the book, leadership in turbulent times. think about it, it's become more relevant now than it was when i thought about it five years ago. each one of them faced an extraordinary situation. in lincoln's case, he comes into office and the civil war is about to begin. the country is on fire. it's divided into two. he said if he's ever known the terror of what he would face, he doesn't think he would have lived through it. the big question is when the war starts, it's predominantly being fought to win the union. he always hated slavery and there were people were hoping even at the beginning of his presidency, that he would do something about liberating the slaves at the same time as preserving the union. he was stuck by the idea tha

i know i'm maryam namazie this is the news hour live from london coming up opposition candidate abraham mohammad soli claims victory in the maldives presidential election in which the incumbent was expected to win. iran's revolutionary guard val's deadly an unforgettable revenge for the attack on a military parade which killed twenty five people also. thousands marched through. main opposition party to back another referendum on the breaks it deal. and i'm far as small have all the day's sport including chelsea dropped their first points of the season the blues were held to with nil nil draw by west ham. we begin this hour in the mold leaves where opposition leader abraham mohammad soli has declared victory in the country's presidential election local media said that with ninety two percent of the votes counted he was leading by sixteen points the current president abdoulaye i mean had been expected to cement his grip on power after jailing almost all his rivals including his own brother who's a former president of the country was speaking a short time ago soni said the message is loud

that is what abraham lincoln taught me. now, what about general meade? general meade is very happy with the campaign. he things it is a brilliant success. he would write in his official report that maybe briefly stated in the defeat of the enemy of gettysburg, his compulsory evacuation of pennsylvania, maryland, withdrawal from the upper battles of shenandoah. and they captured three guns, 41 standards and over 13,000 prisoners. 24,978 small arms were found on an collective on the battlefield. he finds it to be a rounding success. but it does not feel that way. there a whole lot of color between here and grant coming to the east and so forth. i can do the whole program on this. suffice it to say i do believe that meade's failure to attack at williamsport is the start of his demise. station.dd in bristow you can buy the book in the back if you would like, i can't remember what the name of it is called. but he is back there ready to sign right now. cash or check.

and a classic one of america's best storytellers doris kearns goodwin of abraham lincoln of history to understand the political genius of abraham lincoln these are just some of the books i'm interested in reading i think the last time we had this conversation most successful ceos read 60 books per year i also try to get young kids to read five books in the summer that helps to prevent that summer slide make sure they are reading five books >> dragonflies and a lot of plants. everybody is looking for food so it is a competition to the competition to get them. had 10 million people are starving in north korea. and then they could manage any type of starvation. >> okay. so tell about the decision-making process to get out of the country. >> i did not have internet but what i had receiving the border town of north korea. so coming out of china if i go there that was the only thing that i had. i had no idea so i don't die of starvation. >> what do you remember about seeing about the lights in shanghai? with the light and the fireworks and the food smells is north korea? >> it was like we ha

doesbore e vols, so washington, so does the war department and abraham lincoln. you mentioned the heavy artillery, many whom marched on , bert you have probably been approached by members of the audience anything you did not give us you think we should be thing about? >> what we see 21862 and 1863 is an evolution of the wars hardening. union policy is becoming harder on civilians. not necessarily targeting civilians, but realizing it is ok to impact civilians and we should. that is reflected in letters, and the discontent and southern cities. there are other bread riots besides richmond, the protests, the antiwar sentiment is growing in the south. and logo in the north. in 1862, you see a lot of the evolution -- the change in policy, change in confederate policy. >> any questions you would like panel? direct your question to a specific panelist and if others want to jump in on that, that what we can keep the discussion moving. >> good evening, i am paul from fredericksburg. i get the award for the closest participant.

the burial place of abraham is is really one of the holiest places in all of western civilization you can even say the birthplace after jerusalem and. one of the birth places or the burial places of the founder of western civilization the monotheistic concept and why is it that we're so divided. that the reason why the jewish community is in hebron and the reason why there are soldiers and checkpoints from the jewish communities perspective is because of the need for security to secure the safety of the eight hundred fifty jews who live in the old city of hebron and the hundreds of thousands of israelis and religious jews from around the world that come at the tomb of the patriarchs and the tomb of jesse and ruth and abraham avraham of you know synagogue and neighborhood during the jewish holidays or passover suit coat procession and everyone is a front line of the israel palestine conflict hebron problem will not be solved by itself it's part of like i said a microcosm of israeli palestinian relations the jewish people the israelis why did it seem like from the outside world that the

i can understand abraham lincoln, ted wer teddy rooseveli threw me for a loop for lbj.lso advised when you were in graduate school thrown out and johnson still welcomed you. why is he in this book? >> well, if it weren't for vietnam it would be an epic failure of leadership u in some ways do i write about that. it's the opposite of the leadership that he has shown on cill rights and on the great society. think of it, he comes into office and john kennedy has been killed. that very night he makes a commitment that i'm going to make civil rights, getting that bill to end segregation of the south through. i don't know whether i will do it or not. his advisors say you can't do that you are risking everything if it doesn't get through and it probably won't because the filibuster will break you will be a failed president in 11 months. he says what the hell is the presidency for? and then he takes the risk of doing that and wizry knows to civil rights first. civil rights especially deserves him to be part of this. is he often an outlier. >> neil: i thought immediately what's g

abraham: mr. speaker, i rise today in support of h.r. 6720, to prohibit the slaughter of dogs and cats for human consumption and for other purposes. while this practice is completely unacceptable in the united states, only four states explicitly ban it. this patchwork of state laws does not signal the appropriate protection we americans expect r our beloved pets and companions. to creditably condemn the international dog and cat meat trade, including the dog meat festival in china, the united states must send a clear message that this practice is completely unacceptable. this overwhelmingly bipartisan legislation is a critical step in doing just that. i urge my colleagues to support this measure and, with that, i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentlewoman from the virgin islands is recognized. ms. plaskett: mr. speaker, i rise in support of h.r. 6720, the dog and cat meat trade prohibition act of 2018. and yield myself s

and i would forego all of the other, just to have, you know, abraham lincoln alone. but i would certainly want dolly madison to host it. going back to the trumans. just what anita said, there's this great story about harry truman who goes bounding with his driver/bodyguard, mike westwood, down from independence to jefferson city for a meeting. skpr and truman is in the front seat and spies this woman whose pigs have gotten loose and they're running all around. and truman demands that westwood stop the car and he hops -- truman hops out and helps her to coral these pigs. a reporter gets wind of this when truman, you know, arrives at his destination in jefferson city. and they ask him if it's true. he said, yeah, of course it's true, but remember, i was a farmer before i was president. >> see. >> so down to earth. >> i think we have a question. >> yeah, trying to tie into your comments, and i appreciate that gerald r. ford story. one of the things we did a year ago was to come up with the idea to take president ford's story of standing up for diversity in his senior ye

opposition supporters on the streets of mali is their leader abraham mohammed sali claimed victory in modise presidential elections. for five years president i believe you mean has been in power they say he has been dethroned and want him to concede this is a moment of happiness this is a moment of hope this is a moment of history for many of us this is been a difficult journey a journey that has led to a prism so four years of exile politics in the most daves has been tumultuous since my home in the shade became its first democratically elected president ten years ago he was ousted in a coup the spent most of his time in exile intra lanka he watched as his friend and ally saleh rallied opposition leaders into a coalition to take power back i like to call that i congratulated on the grandmama so i did the president elect. yeah has got that dream the heart and it's jeems like living there in the last four or five years firstly it's inside was arrested. the maldives has been in political turmoil do you mean during his five year tenure two former presidents the prosecutor general and a n

when you encounter a snake do you try to get away from it as fast as possible while abraham brown just stays put he's a professional snake handler in zimbabwe you can call him if a snake gets into your yard he'll come and catch it and take it to a snake park where he teaches schoolchildren about why the reptiles need to be protected and why we don't need to fear many of these creatures. the ambulance is on standby in case things go wrong for the divine there are professional snake rescue us in southwest to zimbabwe and i've been called out by a woman who is frightened a snake my tom how young son where did you see. it's a high even in moscow bra it's bite can be fatal. if the snake feels provoked it might strike but that is q. has secrets lies in remaining calm and cautious. with the good. bandit egyptian cobra or sniper gerber very big very hard to snack many people simply kills next if they see them but these women acted correctly now both the snake and the family are fine. the snake can't last put the cobra in a plastic container they will later set it free in a suitable place abrah

. >> abraham lincoln collection as well.hat library is in starksville. >> in mississippi, can you believe it? >> and we were there. >> we were. it turns out more than 200 presidential sites in the country, people who have some kind of responsibility for some aspect of a president's life, and they are all meeting in washington in august. >> and what's interesting about the presidential libraries, the library of congress has custody of the actual papers and documents of ulysses s. grant, and what some of the presidential libraries do is what they will collect and make copies of things from different collections, about a president and -- >> that's right, yes. >> and that's how some of the presidential libraries have been established >> so when franklin roosevelt created the national archives, he also decided to have a presidential library. so technically his was the first. i'm convinced he was a closet archi archivist, he was passionate about his papers. he spent a lot of time hiring the first archivist, and spent a lot of time

opposition supporters celebrate as their candidate abraham mohammad sali declares victory in the maldivespresidential election. in london you with al-jazeera also coming up iran's revolutionary guard val's deadly and unforgettable revenge for the attack on a military parade which killed twenty five people three year old. battle against hunger in yemen where three quarters of the population is in need of a. leader. and thousands marched in liverpool edging the u.k.'s main opposition party to back another referendum on the back seat deal. we begin in the maldives where opposition leader abraham mohammad soli has declared victory in the country's presidential election with ninety eight percent of the votes counted he was reported to be leading by sixteen points it is a surprise when the current president i mean had been expected to cement his grip on power after jailing almost all of his rivals including his own half brother the government has yet to comment on the results but so he has already addressed his jubilant support this is a moment of happiness this is a moment before this is a mom

well here it is with us today from london to tell us more and we're also joined by abraham yunus he works for medicine saw france here and is the head of the libyan mission he's with us from tunis sally and it's good to have you i'm going to go straight to my laptop for people who haven't seen your twitter thread the one that's got so much attention it starts for the last twenty four hours i've been texting and calling with refugees in libya five hundred are apparently struck in a tripoli prison without food or water after heavy fighting broke out two days ago they say their guards right away leaving them alone that just by itself is striking but the reaction to the compiled twitter said that you put together what was it. so essentially what happened was twenty sixth of august i got the face message from this group of people who said that they were refugees trapped in the detention center and obviously it took me about twenty four hours to kind of verify they were who they said they were and thus when i started tweeting that they were just begging for help they were begging for someone to

abraham lincoln now, but that's not what he had in mind, i think when he helped form the republicanty. >> for many, president obama's words felt like a return to sanity. for others, it was a stark >> i don't mean to pretend i am channeling abraham lincoln now, but that's not what he had in mind, i think when he helped form the republican party. >> for many, president obama's words felt like a return to sanity. for others, it was a stark reminder of why president trump won the election. meanwhile, much of the country is just sick of all of it. >> i conceive of myself as an independent conservative who caucuses with the republicans but, frankly, neither of these parties have a long-term vision for the future of the country. there's massive stuff happening in america, and thesis matters are really content to do 24-hour news cycles screaming at each other. >> why stay a republican, and when is the last time you thought about becoming an independent? >> i probably think about it every morning when i wake up, but i figure out, why am i flying away from nebraska to go to d.c. we are going

you see abraham lincoln evolved as commander-in-chief. you will see that in 1864 and i hope we talk about that more. grant is moving down, i need replacements for my bosses, let's look to the fort. in may and june, the department of washington sends 18,000 heavy artillery down to the potomac. that is a lots of men. they have to fill in those losses with secondary troops. national guard soldiers and a veteran reserve corps. that illustrates what the war meant to abraham lincoln in may, june and july. we need to end the war by the end of the year. this is our time. you would not have seen that happen in 1863 or 1862 when they are doing everything they can to defend the capital. from my perspective, a major turning point is the federal war effort. as the work evolves, so is washington and the war department and abraham lincoln. chris: you mentioned men from the heavy artillery unit. they may have marched down this road grid out in front. been you have probably approached by members of the .udience anything you didn't give us that you think s
