there really weren't that many abolitionists, but for people like abraham lincoln who could see that enslaved labor was in competition with free labor, and what do we want the future of the territories, of the new states to look like? and that's part of the story here and part of the idea of popular sovereignty is that states or territories out west could vote, decide where the free or enslaved. and so much of it had to do with the balance of power that there was an equal amount of free to to enslave states. and so much in such what lincoln was was fighting against was the expanse of slavery. they weren't necessarily willing or able to shut down slavery completely, but to stop it from moving west and people want a lot of people want to go back to the missouri compromise would set a boundary between north and south and you mentioned that it began to get people engage into this question and it seems to me that the fugitive slave act itself was the real trigger in many ways for a lot of people in the north to to really have that reaction. but there were other people like harriet beecher

he had been a very close confidant and friend of abraham lincoln. he had been appointed by lincoln to the court. davis was, as you said, widely viewed as an independent in the 19th century, independent, i mean, genuinely independent, free of either political party. most assumed because of his reputation as an independent, that the four justices congress appointed who then got to choose the fifth justice, the 15th member of the committee that they would choose davis and the popular belief was that davis probably favored tilden, though nobody knew for certain. but what ends up happening is that at the last minute, literally, as congress is going to vote on this bill, that will create commission, illinois davis's home state, the state legislature here in illinois, decides to select davis as their new senator from illinois. in the 19th century, senators were chosen by the state legislature. it was not until the 20th century that senators were chosen by popular vote. and the reason this happens is that it's democrats who control the illinois state legisla

one of the things that abraham lincoln said that the speech at gettysburg was that it the speech at gettysburgas that it is in on us to give our devotion to those who gave their lives for their country, and this is about veterans who have served, whether in wartime or in peacetime. it is really important for us as a country to commemorate these occasions, especially with the veteran population decreasing. we have lost a lot of veterans who served in world war ii and korea and even some in vietnam over the past five or six years, and so it is even more important now than ever that we make sure that the veterans who are coming out of wars in iraq and afghanistan in the international war on terror in recent years are also commemorated. �* , ., , , , commemorated. and this happens at arlington _ commemorated. and this happens at arlington national _ commemorated. and this happens at arlington national cemetery, i at arlington national cemetery, it is an amazing base. this is something that presumably is also marked around the country. tell us a little bit about how big day this is around the us. i

where 160 years ago, in what would become his final days in office, president abraham lincoln addressedhe said let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who showed up to battle. my fellow americans, first lady, vice president harris, second gentlemen, secretary blinken, austin, chairman browne, most importantly our veterans, servicemembers and their families, i have said it many times before, i got in trouble for saying it, we have many obligations but only one truly sacred obligation — sacred. to prepare those we send into harm's away, to care for them and theirfamilies when harm's away, to care for them and their families when they return home and when they don't. 0bligation not based on party politics, but on a promise that unites us all, today, as we strive on, to finish the work of our moment, to bind a nation's wounds once again, we commit, recommit to the sacred vow. this is the last time i will stand here at arlington as commander in chief. it has been the greatest honour of my life to lead you,

you know, the very first thanksgiving proclamation came from abraham lincoln in 1863 when america wast by the civil war. it is part of that, president lincoln said there are things we can be thankful for. i think that ought to be our attitude as well. paul said thessalonians 5:18 in all things give thanks. yes we had contentious election but we can thank god we have the ability to choose our leaders. yes, it is true inflation is high, but you know the average family of four making $50,000 a year is wealthier than 89% of the country. and i think we ought to focus on the things that we ought to be thankful for. some people say, pastor, i don't feel thankful, i just don't feel thankful. if you wait to feel thankful before you act thankful, you will never do it. but the key is acting painful and those things to thank god for and you will find that feelings follow the action. after all, there is a reason we call this holiday thanksgiving and not thanks feeling. >> carley: you know, pastor, i'm glad you said that because the number one thing is the economy. there are so many people struggli

i am on the side of abraham lincoln. i think we should be confident that our form of government is better. you have something good that doesn't defend itself you have to defend it. ukraine is on the frontier of freedom fighting for their political lives against naked aggression and we should support them. i think president trump is not the first politician who thinks that their personal charm can -- you know, george w. bush had a moment like that where he thought he could win over a dictator. trained kgb operative. we need to be very careful and we need to see our enemies and allies clearly and understand that his interests are not ours. host: might our allies be reluctant to share intelligence without for fear of, as the caller said, tulsi gabbard is too close to putin? president elect trump is too close to putin, in her opinion. guest: i think some of tulsi gabbard's comments are concerning. i'm sure those will be questions in the hearing. if i were a member i would advise them to ask about that. i think we are safer b

abraham lincoln said the patent system added fuel of interest to the fire of genius. as we approach the last decade of the we hand torch of innovation and imagination to a new generation of creators potential, inventors, people you to pursue dreams till they become real attain. my invention is the bullet grabber and the is supposed to be the person who finds the war as and he sits up here and then when he spots he sends a message down to these two guys who all operate the magnet one is supposed to pick up the little guns and life goes on. this is supposed to pick up the be bombs and cannonballs. one that to me is a phone for blind people. i thought that if there was a phone for blind people that i would have to call for my grandfather. and so i made a big numbers. so i put foil over and the person will be cooler than using regular umbrella. i thought a lot about and said to myself, that's already i had a strong shower. i just couldn't pull the string without standing and this is how it its part in the street street. my region is the no end zone right. i got the idea b

such an incredibly huge job, but it's huge as you've reminded me with fdr and certainly with abraham lincoln what lessons we can learn from some of the greats? of course, you've written about lyndon johnson and the vietnam war and dealing with racism in this country and the civil rights act. but there are -- there are moments that challenge a president at an interesting time and they're either up to it or they're not. >> yeah, i think that's what we always wonder. there's always a moment, not for the great presidents, but the civil war, great depression, world war ii, some of the problems we had in the '60s with civil rights and great progress we made during that period of time when you hoped that a president is up to that moment and depends not only on who is around him, it really depends on the temperament of the president, the character of the president, and the people they've surrounded themselves with will be a reflection of that. that's an example of who they are. but so far, america's come through in those critical moments whether it's the revolutionary war or the civil war, the great

i'm on the side of abraham lincoln governed by the people is a good thing which because of a form ofbetter we should support them. president trump is not the first politician who thanks the personal charm george w. bush is a kgb operative and be very, verywe careful your enemies clearly understand his interests are not ours to be. >> our allies might be reluctant to share intelligence with us for fear as the caller said tulsi gabbard's too close to putin it. at present like trumpets too close to putin in her opinion. whenct you think of that? >> i think some of tulsi gabbard's comments are concerning i'm sure this to be topics of questions in the hearing. certainly i were an advisory member i would ask him to ask about that. i think we are safer because of intelligent insurance with our allies. and if our allies come to believe, information they share with us may be leaked, they will be less likely to show that intelligence with us and americans a bit less safe as a result. >> and i added briefly i agree with everything that brad said it. i would also add it is a challenge we have in

let's go back to 1860, at least in history, if not in reality right now. 1860, abraham lincoln was elected a threat of violence over his becoming president. he took a train from springfield, illinois to washington d.c. there were so many death threats against him that he had to get off in baltimore and come to washington d.c. wearing a disguise to make sure he would not be in danger. on the day of his inauguration, march of 1861, there were gangs of assassins driving around the washington mall threatening abraham lincoln's life. the tragedy is that when we hear about these sorts of violence, it makes me heartsick to think that 57% of americans think there might be violence by the trump side if the election is not resolved in his favor. but it seems to be true. this is not going to most of american history. this is going to the eve of perhaps one of the worst moments in our history which is the civil war. the best thing we can hope for, and i say this to everyone who is watching and everyone on our panel, we have to at least strive to make sure that the mark eliass of the world are making s
