i love the even abraham lincoln does that. abraham lincoln's son losing at the inaugural address.they come on board. he he's the playboy having fun. he's taking a little leap from harvard. he wants to have a good time. and what does the guy do. i lost the inaugural address. you had one job. he gave it to a bellman or something. it's kind of the other betrayals. he was lincoln's only child. he is there to watch another president go down. it's an incredible story. i didn't know that. did abraham lincoln belong to any secret societies. i think it's right into the bookends. i'm trying to remember. i don't think he's a freemason. i don't think he is on the list. you have just described the rest of my night now. so thank you. significance of the number 120 -- the number 27. i want to make sure we do it right. what we do with ironman frank is how do you write a book about the holocaust. a soft touch. but when she goes into the attic. we just felt like this could it be a normal book. as i told chris that were gonna shrink every page. we letterboxed the whole thing. as she goes in the atti

one of abraham lincoln's heroes, a man named george washington and no way is abraham lincoln missing george washington, and sure enough he goes to philadelphia, risking his own life to be there raises the flag at independence hall and at independence hall is talk -- where the declaration was signed, how everyone in america deserves an equal chance and he says, and god bless -- he actually found -- this the actual quote that lincoln said in his speech. he says if we can't save the country without that principle and then lincoln pauses, and he says, i was about to say, i would rather be assassinate on this spot than surrender. he said this worse, i'd rarity be assassinated on this spot, knowing full well there's a plot to kill him at that moment, and it's not -- he means it and pauses and it hits him, and what is fantastic about that moment is soon after that moment happied is when the whisk him out of troy. won't tell you how. i'll say we know -- that's not a spoiler but you'll see how the get him out there, he see the code name they give him and it's one my favorite parts and debatin

it's more than just a statue of abraham lincoln though and this is partly why the controversy is center around this it's a statue of abraham lincoln with the emancipation of slaves one of the slaves you see right there beneath him kneeling and that's part of the controversy many people are arguing including the representative to the u.s. congress from district of columbia that this statue should be taken down from this particular place and maybe put in a museum instead that is why many protesters are now saying that they would like to go there and perhaps even take the statue down by force if they have to their reasons are multifold one that the one african-american is kneeling before the president and that he shouldn't be and the other is that when this statue was put up no african-americans were asked for anything having to do with the formation so let me tell you a little about the history of this particular statute that statue right there has been part of that lincoln park that's been there since a team 71 the statue itself was put there in $1876.00 commemorating the 100 y

this statue of abraham lincoln is now also being threatened by protesters and those who find it offensive and now guarded by police why we will explain this story to you but i want to begin with one of the most important topics for all americans housing right now millions of you are asking the following questions given the volatile economic and political times that we are going through 1st and foremost do i sell my home before it loses its value what happens when all of those people who aren't paying their mortgage are suddenly forced to pay up. by the way those who aren't paying for at least 3 months they make up 8 percent of the homeowner population and they reportedly account for more than $800000000000.00 in unpaid principal so what happens when the government for mere forbearance program comes due will there be a glut of homes suddenly on the market out there and then there's the question of whether big cities are going to just empty out who wants to live there right what happens in our nation's urban centers who will want to live in a crowded densely populated city with

abraham lincoln statue is being threatened in washington d.c. it's not just any statue by the way there it is your that's a live picture that you're looking at right there of this statue that's just a few blocks away from where we're sharing this newscast with you right now it's a statue that portends to show or depict abraham lincoln freeing slaves so we want to know what's going on with this let's go ahead and pull out you're going to see fair and she's following this story for us to try and pick up a story i guess the question is what is offensive about this according to some of these protesters. and any forms of art whether it's a painting or in this case a bronze statue it's all kind of you know what the the visual what you're seeing and what people kind of interpret rather than what the artist you know originally meant to show no demurrage really meant to show you know abraham freeing the slaves however those that are against the statue say that this actually shows that the black man will always be below the white man i'm going to step out

unlike that of winston churchill, abraham lincoln's humor tended towards self-depreciation. during one of the lincoln/douglass debates in illinois, a spectator shouted lincoln was being two faced. two faced, shouted lincoln. if i had two faces, do you think i would wear this one? lincoln's humor was an essential component of his personality and political persona. richard carwardine will explore with us whether his humor might also occasionally have been a handicap. richard carwardine was educated at corpus christi and queens colleges oxford and at the university of california at berkeley. for three decades, he taught history at the university of sheffield before being appointed rhodes professor of american history and institutions at oxford university and a fellow of st. catherine's college. he was elected president of corpus christi college oxford in 2010. and served in that post until 2016. he is the author of one of the finest modern biographies of the 16th president, "lincoln, a life of purpose and power" which was awarded the lincoln prize in 2007, and lincoln's sense of

abraham lincoln or mrs. president lincoln.e inclusion of todd in her name is a 20th century invention. >> this is a letter that begins to show some of her difficulties, you would suppose, in the sense that her reputation suffered. she's writing to the assistant secretary of the treasury, mr. george harrington, asking if he can find a job for her dressmaker, elizabeth keckley, because she doesn't any longer need the services of ellen shehan and wants her off the jobs list and wants to get elizabeth keckley onto the jobs list over at the treasury. "and i promise i will never ever ask you for another favor again, mr. harrington" - though, of course, she did over and over. >> but the real cause of their sorrow in the white house personally was the death of their son, willie. this is a piece of sheet music which we just acquired. it was one of the two copies of it recorded anywhere in a library. we suppose there are a few others out there. "little willie's grave, " hard to imagine how many people would have wanted to buy this outsi

i'mi a board memberam of the abraham lincoln institute and a former executive director at the abraham lincolnun bicentennial commission. thank you for joining us today. unlike that of winston churchill, abraham lincoln's humor tended toward self-deprecation. during one of the famed lincoln douglas debates in illinois, a spectator shouted that lincoln was being two faced. two faced? pride lincoln. if i had to face is do you think i would wear this one? lincoln's humor was an essential component of his personality and political persona. richard carwardine we'll explore with us whether his humor might also occasionally have been a handicap. richard carwardine was educated at corpus kristie and queens colleges oxford. and at the university of california berkeley. for three decades, he taught history at the university of sheffield before being appointed roads professor of american history and institutions at oxford university and a fellow of st. catharines college. he was elected president of corpus kristie college oxford in 2010 and served in that post until 2016. he is the author of one

so i'm especially grateful to president john white and the executive committee of the abraham lincoln institute for extending the invitation a second time and i want to thank michael who stepped in to fill the gab a year ago. while i was working on my book on lincoln's humor, i was aware of those who questioned my choice of a subject so seemingly lacking in gravitas and so marginal to the big issues of lincoln's time. i believe that people are as much revealing about themselves when they're being funny. it was plato who reflected serious things cannot be grasped without ridiculous ones. no one indulged in humor more than lincoln. it was as characteristic of him as his stove pipe hat. but it was an intensic way of the man, a habit of mind. it excessed his humanity, his sense of proportion, his understanding of human foibles. what prompted my research and my inquiry was a remark lincoln made to david ross lock. lock was a young ohio newspaper man a man. his satire centered on a copperhead grotesque. a pastor of a proslavery church, he was a drunken, greedy, lying racist. lock called him

i mean, he's more rockwell than abraham lincoln in his behavior. the way he's misled the country during the covid-19 crisis when it started. we missed -- lost a month or two of action. it's been muddled leadership. you know, now, we're already second waving and it's the middle of the summer. this has been a disastrous 2020 for donald trump. i see he's sinking in the polls all the time. but i'm still amazed that, you know, 35% of the american public thinks he's doing a good job right now because our economy's in tatters. and there's really not -- and you asked a simple question. are you better off than you were four years ago? and the answer in america is no. so thank goodness these protestors are starting to stand up and challenge trumpism, which has a aura around it of white supremacy. >> you can ask now. you better than you were four months ago? and get probably very similar answer. omar, listen. i want to bring in, because i ever read your piece in t"the washington post". fascinating piece. it's called the protests started looking like 1968, the

right now on this iconic statue in our nation's capital see that right there that's the statue of abraham lincoln arguably the greatest u.s. president who ever lived it depicts him freeing the slaves but some believe that it demeans the slave because he's on his knee and because african-americans really had no say in its formation some of threaten to tear it down today in fact while the president has vowed to send in the national guard if he has to try and stop you in this newscast with one word one word it's a word that a year ago would have met very little but now seems to mean everything to almost every single person living on the planet earth and fact to many it means the difference between living and dying and that word is vaccine so let me get to it here is the news on the vaccine front there are 4 major laboratories racing right now to try and get a covert 1000 vaccine out right away they are johnson and johnson. they're u.s. based by the way sanofi which is a french firm lab. it's also american and astra zeneca which is a british laboratory there is news on 2 of them so let me bring you u

it sometimes they wrote about abraham lincoln. sometimes they wrote to him. sometimes they travel to washington to petition him. the wives were known to change their opinions of lincoln, and they're shifting views of the president influenced their actions. perhaps this early as lincoln's election, jesse fremont fought the rail splitter naive. soon thereafter, she decided lincoln was irrelevant. would she urged her husband to issue his emancipation order in august of 1861, without consulting lincoln who had so publicly wrestled with the idea of slavery through his career. next, jesse disdained lincoln. her trip to washington to rescue her husband's career ended badly. lincoln listen to her carefully, asked her questions, and then, just as you can imagine he would've done if he was a man, lost his temper and heard her answers. she proceeded to lose her temper to. she concluded her visit by challenging the presidents authority in her husband's name. she demanded the presidents correspondence with the blares, by urging her husband to print more copies of the emanc

in a new interview president trump is suggesting he's done more to help african-americans than abraham lincoln while raising questions about lincoln's legacy. all this as the relentless coronavirus pandemic has now claimed more than 114,000 lives here in the united states. a new cdc forecast projects that number will jump to 130,000 in three weeks, by july 4th, as states reopen and cases spike. health officials are pleading for vigilance, warning that time spent with others raises the risk of infection. let's begin with the coronavirus pandemic this hour. we're joined by one of the most prominent members of the white house coronavirus task force, dr. anthony fauci, the director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases. dr. fauci, thanks so much for joining us. thanks for all you have done, we are totally grateful. let's get to some of the critical issues right now. you've described this coronavirus as your worst nightmare, your words. cases are now on the rise in 19 states. big picture, has the united states stalled in the fight against coronavirus? >> i'm not so sure we co

>> this is the lincoln home in springfield, illinois. this is the only home abrahamnd mary lincoln ever owned. this is where mary learned how to be a wife and mother. they lived here from 1844 to 1861. over the course of the 17 years they added on and added on and create this had two story, very comfortable upper class home. after about 11 years of living here in the house they were able to add a full second floor as part of the expanding of not only their family. they were expanding their house at the same time and mr. lincoln's career. he was traveling the circuit. so most of the day-to-day oversight would have been mary lincoln. she was very decisive. she knew exactly what she wanted. it was probably not too tough of a proejt for her. they were able to add five bedrooms. there is a guest bedroom which would have been a luxury. mr. lincoln and mrs. lincoln were able to have their own space. not necessary to highlight problems in their marriage but just so they had their own space. privacy is not something you get a lot of in the 1850s and 1860s. mr. lincoln could s

i have a portrait of abraham lincoln sitting in my office. it is painted in black and white. why? the greatest challenge to our constitution was the civil war. you he would tell believed in the exceptionalism of america. the gettysburg address -- fourscore score and seven years liberty, andved in dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. there has been no other nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the freedom and equality of each other. when you walk into my conference room, there is a large portrait there of washington crossing the delaware. you have seen the picture before. you all think you know the story. and all took place christmas 1776. but to the person who painted a he was an american citizen. he had lived in america and went back to germany. did not painted until later. he was not there. there was no camera, no iphone to take it, but he wanted to inspire germany to have a revolution. he thought the best way to inspire the others was to paint a picture of the story he was told. to gets it historically incorrect. washington did not cross in a row

abraham lincoln gets up and one of the things he does is he is sitting there. and he starts talking about southhampton county. he asks his audience and new yorkers what induced the southhampton direction 28 years many as threeas times as many lives were lost. back to 1831, not 1832, the year gettysburg college was founded. it's not lincoln who is president, it is jackson. that guy. economics. i want to set this economically. when we look at the civil war, many more historians know railr. 18:30 -- 1830. here is a map of railroad construction in the united states by decade. 18:30 there is nothing. there are three dots. there are two dots in pennsylvania. shows how advanced pennsylvania is. there are no railroads. we want to remember there is a good deal more isolation. thewhat they do have a sense is coming as cotton revolution. there have been caught news forever. but there is going to be a tremendous increase in the as webility of cotton --e from here is a map of cotton production. top one is not cotton production of 1820. bottom one is cotton production in 186

for me and ended up literally consuming ten years of my life because it was so deep who is abraham lincoln. still elusive to a biographer even though more than 15,000 books have been written about him. why did his speeches and become so good he have given a few important speeches. lincoln douglas debates are important. he steps it up to an even higher level while traveling under very difficult conditions on a rapidly moving railroad through all of this different cities of the upper midwest. and then how did he deal with some of the worst political problems any incoming president had to deal with. he have a very weak plurality. it was not a mandate. at less than 40% of the vote. the second lowest vote of a winning presidential candidate in our history. it's amazing if you think about famous has become to look at that bad hand he was dealt when he won the election. after john quincy adams he was a second weakest victor of a presidential race. seven states secede after he is elected. his only the president-elect of half a country. and then as i develop in the book it was not at all certain. h

i have been fascinated by ever -- by abraham lincoln for a long time. is tempting to go after lincoln. do you need to write the 15,000th book about lincoln? i don't know. i might explore that a little bit. one of my problems is that i'm interested in everything. i am interested in many different phases of history. having written a couple of books about the years before the civil war, i'm tempted to go another direction. i don't know where i'm going to go yet. susan: what is the title from? "imperfect union?" steve: it is just something that occurred to me as having a double meaning. it refers to the imperfect union of the time, the division between north and south, between free and slave, and the effort to make it better. it also refers to the union between john and jessie fremont. a sometimes difficult marriage with struggles in it and a degree of failure, also extraordinary success. susan: the full title is "imperfect union: how jessie and john fremont mapped the west invented celebrity and helped , cause the civil war." thanks for the hour. steve: gl

i don't know if this president is actually questioning the legacy of abraham lincoln, or he just can't admit that anybody, even lincoln, was a better president. and then, there's what this president says about police using chokeholds. a tactic that has become a symbol of police brutality. cities and communities all across this country, including philadelphia, phoenix, los angeles, sacramento. look up there, on your map. san diego, miami, broward county, florida. washington, d.c. minneapolis. new york city. denver. houston. and austin. all banning chokeholds. and the president says he thinks, generally speaking, chokeholds should be banned. but he, also, says this. >> i think the concept of chokeholds sounds so innocent, so perfect. and then, you realize, if it's a one on one. now, if it's a two on one, that's a little bit different story depending. depending on toughness and strength. you know, we're talking about toughness and strength. >> you know, it really doesn't sound so innocent and perfect to someone who can't breathe. to someone who is literally having the life choked out of t

message on choke holds, should they be banned and what he said that's raising eyebrows about abraham lincoln. >>> the president also hours away from traveling to west point, a thousand cadets brought back and quarantined in order to hear him speak at graduation and his new reaction after the nation's top general apologized for appearing in his church photo op. >>> the standoff in seattle. protesters taking over multiple city blocks, the police precinct boarded up, not an officer in sight the new threat to move the protesters out by force. >>> and a video inspiring america. a whole neighborhood coming out t surprise an everyday hero. >> announcer: this is "nbc nightly news" with lester holt. >>> good evening, everyone, an alarming rise in covid-19 cases, and hospitalizations in this country tonight rudely reminding us this virus is making its own rules, now having remarkably claimed more than 115,000 lives in this country in under four months a serious spike in cases in more than a dozen states, making for some gut check moments in places straining to further reopen some officials pressing fo

-- in fact, it was the 11th anniversary of abraham lincoln's asaws nation.e's some of what he said: in due honor to our friend, the think about rater, we have been doing highest honors to ourselves and those who come after us. he's talking about black americans. we have been fastening ourselves to a name and fame imperishable and immortal, we have also been defending ourselves from a blighting scandal when now it shall said that the black man has no benefactors, when the foul ea reproach of ingratitude hurled at us and is attempted to scourge us beyond the rage of human brotherhood, we maw calmly pointed to this monument we have this day erected to the memory of abraham lincoln. for a great abolition u.s. like frederick douglass to have thought so much of that statue, to tower it down or change it the way the protesters now say they want to would be sacrilege. >> there's no question. i went down to visit this statue yesterday, it's a beautiful statue. and a woman approached me, she saw that i was a member of congress. she owns a piece of property in the neig

on abraham lincoln. more than john kennedy franklin roosevelt and robert kennedy combined. >> guest: i knew i wanted to live with him and i had to have a leap of faith that i could find something that would be my own way into it but the last one on eleanor franklin took six years longer than world war ii so i knew this would be a fundamental. he turned out to be the best companion i could imagine. >> host: how did you begin the process class >> guest: at first i read. i hope it's beginning to do a book about marriage the way i've done with eleanor and franklin but i realized they couldn't hold the public side of the story the way eleanor did. i realized he spent more time with the members of his than with mary. he was married to them more protected tense time they'd wait for news from the battlefield and go to the front of relax at night. these are the guys i'm interested in when it turned out they'd been as rivals beforehand that i finally realized that got my story. >> host: book came out by burton hen

abraham lincoln, of course, once famously said public sentiment is everything. with it, nothing can fail, without it, nothing can succeed. we know that public sentiment is clearly on the side of police reform. not just within the black community. though we love the fact, we're honored by the fact that this movement is being led by young african-american women and young african-american men. but it's been joined by people of every race. white, black, latino, asian, native american, multiracial, multigenerational, multicultural, and we think that ultimately that will force the senate's hand. >> and, you know, donald trump, i won't even play back the sound, but he dismissed the concerns that people have about stop and frisk. he praised rudy giuliani for initiating it. he praised bloomberg for it and said the only problem was he got rid of it. hakeem jeffries, i'll stay with

in a famous story, he and abraham lincoln go out on the white house grounds and abraham lincoln gets to test fire one of these himself. as soon as he does this, abraham lincoln orders his generals, you are accepting this rifle. it took really a presidential order to take one of these for us to adopt this. so this is the famous spencer carbine. works wonderfully. as soon as lincoln was dead, the army took back all of the spencer carbines, put a device on and turn them into single shot carbines. they were still worried about the money. >> going back to the calvary, we see another jump in technology. before the civil war if you had a pistol, this is probably what it looks like, single shot. you notice it is also shaped like a club, works great with one shot and then you can bonk someone with the end. an american inventor by the name of samuel cold, he invents a revolver while sailing around and he comes up with the idea of a revolver. it is a percussion weapon. it is a cylinder with six cartridges like this. it has a piece of light skin or paper. you take your cartridge, put it in the f

that is what abraham lincoln taught me. now, what about general meade? general meade is very happy with the campaign. he thinks 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 pennsylvania,f maryland, and withdraw from the upper battles of shenandoah. after three guns, 41 standards and over 13,000 prisoners. 24,978 small arms were collected on the battlefield. he finds it to be a bounding success. lincoln doesn't feel that way. there a whole lot of color between here and grant coming to the east. i can do the whole program on this. suffice it to say, i do believe that meade's failure to attack is the start of his demise. you can add in bristow station. you can buy the book in the back if you would like, i can't remember what the name of it is called. he is back there, ready to sign right now. cash or check. [laughter] meade has won the battle of gettysburg. we are flipping away, i can tell you the mileage because i drove it last week. i drove 850 miles, i

you mentioned abraham lincoln, which is interesting, because the president brought lincoln up as wellhe talked about what he has done for african-americans. listen. >> i think i've done more for the black community than any other president, and let's take a pass on abraham lincoln because he did good, although it's always questionable, you know, in other words -- >> well, we are free, mr. president. he did pretty well. >> you understand what i mean. so i'm going to take a pass on honest abe as we call him. >> doris, just a reaction to that. >> it's mind boggling, really. the idea that somehow he's done more for black americans than any other president and then take a pass -- maybe i won't include abraham lincoln, and then whatever he's talking about is inconceivable, but the end result was questionable? what? emancipation was questionable? but this is one of the things you wish from a president is a sense of history. the more presidents understand history, it's like we as individuals grow when we acknowledge errors and learn from our mistakes. by studying history, we learn how our nat

his presidency, he has often compared his performance to past presidents and, most recently, to abraham lincoln. >> i think i've done more for the black community than any other president, and let's take a pass on abraham lincoln because he did good although it's always questionable, you know? in other words -- >> well, we are free, mr. president. he did pretty well. >> you understand what i mean? >> yes. >> i'm going to take a pass on honest abe as we call him. >> here for our leadoff discussion on a friday night, the veteran journalist, best-selling author susan page.

smith our guest and at our table is the director of five presidential libraries including the abraham lincolnibrary in springfield, illinois. thank you both for being here. mary todd lincoln and this is a question for both, we'll start with richard, is viewed in broad strokes, bouts of depression, criticism of her lavish spending and and indulgent mother and what do you see. >> oh, boy. that is why we need 90 minutes to get at the nuances. she matters immensely. lincoln is the great american story and she's an integral part of the story. we don't make movies about adams or others. she remains 150 years later someone who is symbolically divisive, perhaps. to some people she's a harrow wynn and to some people she's a victim. but sheer a surprising victim as well. >> i like her because she's so complex. and i say i like her. i go through elizabeth keckly to get to mary todd lincoln. >> who was elizabeth keckly. >> her dress-maker and her companion didn't live at the white house but spent a good deal of time there. >> and an african-american. >> yes. former enslaved who purchased her own freedom.
