three swings. >> adam: marte sends it into left field for a base hit!e reason it's smart is it's a line drive, castro is holding right there. the ball gets into left field then he gets going. it's a smart play, frustrating play, but it's smart. >> adam: you saw the third base coach, the veteran go over, it seemed like he was giving him the wave initially, then you see the stop sign. he went over and said right play, write and read. >> eric: it's 100% of the right thing. this is a crazy thing, that's the right thing to do and he gets the third. people are probably saying he should've scored on the base hit, that was the right thing to do. look at ahmed, the right thing to do was not swing a at the vey first pitch but he got a ground ball base hit. just because you do the right thing, doesn't mean it's going to work out for you. >> adam: baseball is a funny game. bases loaded for kole calhoun, the shift is on. winning run in scoring position for arizona, first pitch change inside. never had a grand slam, doesn't need one here. castro can tired, ahmed can

adam: um, yes. i think people may not realize it, but he is the only owner who has ever permanently been banned from a sport. it is difficult because i work, in essence, for the owners collectively. i don't work for any one owner. but my job is to do what is in the best interest of the league. and as people here may remember, the team that came out, the recording came out for which he was banned came out in the middle of the night, l.a. time, so i was in new york and did not hear it until saturday morning. and he was banned on tuesday. so he received nba-style due process, but i think in most walks of life, people would, you know, to think that from beginning to end, that was four days, that's remarkable. david: i think he paid probably less than $100 million when he bought the team many, many years earlier. it was in san diego then. adam: i know that is the way you look at it, that he made a big profit. [laughter] david: i know, my view is -- adam: i don't think from his standpoint -- he is an extr

chats exploded we want adam, we want adam. adam clayton powell. and wanted others to remember his new york city, madison square garden. there were 16,000 people gathered to hear him speak. he played to the partisan crowd for all it was worth. powell spoke and spoke and spoke. walked to the lectern and laid it down for powell to read. dear adam, mister randolph wants you to know two things. mrs. roosevelt has yet to speak. he heaved his chest out a little more in the congressman said i have a note here and anyone wants to know who he is? he says we have to be out of here by 10:30, never heard about freedom. the only reason to leave, we have to pay more money to stay. everybody in here in favor of freedom raise your hand. thousands and thousands went up. if we want to stay here until noon tomorrow we will stay and speak to this nation, paid to our freedom. abyssinian baptist church will pick up the check. and he walked off. martin luther king jr. -- they would not forget adam clayton powell when he returned south, randolph received a bill in the mai

adam: not the profits. proposal is, it has been a bit controversial, but we propose that we receive something that i have called an integrity fee. david: your referees seem to be in good shape. they are not 20 years old. you require them to exercise a lot? they don't seem to have pot bellies. they seem to be in good shape. adam: i hope that's not the best you can say about them. "they don't have pot bellies." [laughter] david: they seem to be in good shape, but are there women referees as well? adam: absolutely. we have three female referees. it is an area where i have acknowledged i'm not sure how it remained so male-dominated for so long. it is an area of the game where physically, certainly there is no open if it to being a man as opposed to a woman when it comes to refereeing. in fact, we are now -- in terms of the last group of referees we hired into the league, and they came from our development leaks, -- development league, two of the last five officials were women. the goal going forward is it shoul

adam: yes. i think people may not realize it, but he is the only owner who has ever been permanently banned from a sport. it is difficult because i work in essence for the owners collectively. not any one owner. my owner is to do what is in the best interest of the league. as people here may remember, the recording came out for which he was banned came out in the middle of the night l.a. time, so i was in new york and did not hear it until saturday morning. he was banned on tuesday. he received nba-style du life, to think that from beginning to end that was four days, that was remarkable. david: i think he paid less than $100 million when he bought the team. many, many years earlier. it was in san diego earlier. adam: i know that is the way you look at it but he made a big profit. [laughter] david: no, my view is -- adam: i don't think from his standpoint, he is an extraordinarily wealthy guy. i don't think his reaction was look how much money i just made. the team was worth that regardless. dav

none. >> reporter: same with adam's dna.etty hard to get rid of your dna. >> hard to get rid of dna. all right? adam shacknai admits that that morning he cut rebecca down. he loosened the ropes on her wrist to check her pulse. he gave her mouth to mouth resuscitation. he gave cpr pumps to her chest. >> reporter: and there's no dna? >> and how much dna and how many fingerprints are found on the knife, the rope, her body, how much? >> reporter: none. >> zero. zero. >> reporter: zero of adam's, that is. rebecca's dna and fingerprints were everywhere. according to greer, that means adam, who had no criminal history, knew exactly how to wipe down the scene, somehow removing his own fingerprints and dna, but leaving just rebecca's. of course, it could also mean that adam simply wasn't there when rebecca died. which is exactly what law enforcement came to believe. i'm guessing that if you walked in at court on any case and opposing counsel said, "there is no evidence here, and there is no fingerprints, and there is no dna, and that

cook intended to vote for adams. at 30 years of age and in frail health, he suddenly found himself at the center of an unsettling effort to influence his vote. illinois was a relatively new state, and its small population granted only one representative, but since each state had one vote in the house election, dan cook by himself was as important as all of new york or pennsylvania. illinois had mostly gone for jackson, and old hickory's men forcefully demanded that those general election results do more than guide cook in the house vote. he should accept them as the verdict of the people or else. pennsylvania, jackson man samuel ingam took this tact with cook. a rumored alliance of adams and clay would be unpopular he muttered darkly to cook, and it would hurt cook's career to join it. ingam watched the young man absorb this threat and saw someone nodded all weighing his options to cut his loss -- not at all weighing his options to cut his losses. ingam switched his mood and smiled benevolently. cook said ingam could

adam clayton powell in the flesh. and he wanted everybody to remember is new york city, is madison square garden. there were 16000 people gathered to hear him speak. he played to the partisan crowd for all it was worth. powell spoken spoken spoke. and a scribbled note, and laid it down for valerie. it's a dear adam, mr. randolph want you to know two things. one, we must be out of here in 1032, missus roosevelt as if to speak. ms. later powell picking him up and read it. he heat his chest out a little more and the congressman said, i have a note here handed to me. anyone know who he is ? and he said, we have to be out of here by 1030. has he never heard about freedom. the only reason we would have to leave here is because we would have to pay more money. everybody in here who is in favor paying for our freedom, raise your and. and hands, and thousands wet. you must pay for freedom he thundered. and if we want to stay here until noon tomorrow, we will stay. and we will speak to this nation and we will let them know that

adams looked up at the gaunt face. andrew jackson bowed low. he extended his hand. adams took it. the bow at the reception seemed promising, as did the handshake. but jackson was actually see the thing. and then, the announcement came that john quincy adams had named henry clay as his secretary of state. this set off the explosion. jackson wrote to a friend, was there witness such a bare faced corruption in any country before? so you see the judas of the west, has closed the contract and will receive the 30 pieces of silver. his and will be the same. now, a smear can only work if the behavior being decried is exclusive to the target. but this was not the case. we have already seen. jackson operatives have been working night and they to secure votes for jackson. the example of sloan and cook are just to have a number of instances. and then, the activities of james buchanan nearly did them all in. james buchanan was an insignificant pennsylvania congressman in 1824. he strongly supported jackson and wanted to do anything to get the hero elected. therefore, he took it upon himself to

soon pretty will be just on adams or abigail or jeff with the adams or entire adams family.: this is still open for discussion and the congress has passed a bill making it possible. and the president has signed the bill. now at work out location. we become part of the group was trying to see this happen. it has to be location in keeping with the importance principally disgrace. there is no monument, no stature nothing of john adams in my opinion the opinion of others, except for george washington. as the most important american the time. but if you to know what i think it should be read i think it should not be another marble tomb or something like that's. i don't think it should try to rival either the washington monument of the lincoln memorial the jefferson memorial and skill. i cannot be 18th century skill. noises should be modest in size. the name promoting is mistaken, the idea that it will be adams library american letters. it will be a library open to visitors in a garden. and some more as idea of was a library in the garden. john adams thought that to read i know yo

and in the case of john adams and abigail adams, it is possible because of what they wrote, because ofheir letters to each other in letters to other members of the family and their diaries to know them and can know any of the founders. not even franklin for all that he wrote, everett really takes us if you will into his confidence the way john adams did. john adams poured out his innermost feelings all of his life on paper. sometimes to his detriment. sometimes he tells us more than he reallys should. and he was a wonderful writer as was abigail. either one of them could have been a professional writer. could've had a career as a reporter or as a biographer or novelist. they had a perfectly superb command of the language. and when one realizes, when one thanks just to get through a day of the 18th century, of the discomforts, the difficulties, the labor, the hard work, the threats to one's health to one security, and every day life beginning about 5:00 a.m. in the morning, the end of a long strenuous day putting up with inconveniences and concerns never even enter our minds. could sit

adams and going to prison, turned against jefferson.bigail had a wonderful series of letters with jefferson in which she basically said i told you so. he was no good. you paid the penalty. he sowed the whirlwind. abigail chuckled at the fact that it came back to bite him. susan: under the system jefferson helped create, newspapers became participants in, not just observers of government. what did you mean by that? harold: the first episode goes back to the washington era, where he funded a fellow, he was french, james madison's roommate in college. he got him to move to philadelphia, start a newspaper, to oppose the federalist newspaper pretty much praising everything washington did. he encouraged him. he later encouraged an interesting newspaperman, the grandson of benjamin franklin, who started his own newspaper in philadelphia and quickly turned against george washington viciously. he employed james calendar for a while. when jefferson ascends to the presidency, he decides since he is now in washington, d.c., he leaves the newspaper

adams. you mentioned something that brought me back to what happened here in new york. my home state. under primary day back in june. because of the pandemic, more people take advantage of voting by mail because it did not feel safe going to vote in person as a result, i don't think that we were prepared. we didn't have the appropriate infrastructure in place to be able to get the votes as quickly as possible. so there were some races number to called for, in six - eight weeks. which of course feeds into the president misinformation, disinformation about if we cannot call in the election on election night, the '90s were the result comes thereafter is necessarily fraudulent and right. so just asking because you mentioned evelyn in her testimony or one of your questions that you had like a quadruple fold of mail in ballots because of the pandemic. if you could talk about ways that you short of your infrastructure, your your election infrastructure to ensure that you can get encounter every vot

adam: we are trying to decode this.he september 22 battery date for tesla may have as much relevance for other battery companies and other auto companies as it does for tesla itself, or you could argue there's quite a lot of tesla share price at a $400 billion cap. we are trying to use those heuristics, and our team in asia , they downgraded the entire korean battery complex on their expectation tesla's battery day might make the backlog and the ip and technology of the battery industry less valuable, if not obsolete. this is big stuff and we are trying to use it now. we have a note out this morning on general motors about their ev and battery assets. it could be as much as $100 billion. it may not be worth anything unless they can carve it out and give it a currency to bring the world smartest people together and hire a team away from tesla to run the unit. something of that nature. alix: you think they will do that? adam: there has been awareness at gm for many years to do something radical. we think that awareness is

adam: i think we do. i think it is going to be further left in a frankly constructive way than some of the obama policies were but i think it is going to stop far short of bernie sanders or aoc. i think it is important to keep a perspective on this. there are a lot of economies in the world, including very free-market allies of the u.s. like the united kingdom, australia, canada, as well as places like south korea, japan and especially germany and -- and northern europe. way and the private sector. it has not hurt that much. there was an argument to be made in the 1970's and 1980's when the wages and taxes were so excessive in the u.s. was being more dynamic. that gap was usually closed. we've had repeated crises. it is only reasonable for people to say, ok, the u.s. does not need to be a crazy outlier. that starts with health care. that will be the biggest chip in some ways for average people. under president biden. jeanne: adam, in terms of his approach overseas, we are hearing a lot that he is going to

adam: absolutely. it is clear that investment like making sure state and local governments are open, keeping open our educational institutions, public health as well as energy will have much higher returns than private-sector investment. it is clear from all of the evidence that tax cuts do not have the benefits for the economy as a whole people have reported they would. this is not about politics. this is reality. you can go back to 1979/1980 you can make those claims and they have some justification because the tax rates were high and the evidence was not clear. at this point, looking back at the trump tax cuts before the pandemic, it is a bad way to go. david: in fairness to president trump, he would say does not just tax cuts, but also deregulation, and claim deregulation has already increased productivity. some people try to put numbers against it. is that a fair claim? adam: it is a fair claim if the evidence supports it and that is in dispute. the basic theory there can be overregulation and tha

adams gains more respect for clay and clay gains respect for adams. everybody expected they would fight and they would break away from each other. they had never been friends, but they were respectful of each other for the rest of their lives. >> we are reaching back into the earlier part of henry clay's career. this is a good time to look at one of ashland's most prized possessions. it is the washington goblet. >> this is the washington goblet. this was the item of greatest patriotic inspiration in henry clay's home. it is chipped and broken. this is how clay received it. he received it from an elderly lady as a gift. it had belonged to george washington through most of the revolutionary war. he used this like an artifact at his house. he used it to connect to early nationhood and as an object to venerate george washington. he felt washington, as many throughout the country did, was a great inspiration to our country and hoped to inspire patriotism to people who visited. >> we are quickly running out of time. let me ask you about henry clay and his w

it's a very wild abstraction from adam schiff.ave no doubt that russia has a desired outcome for the 2020 election, but then again so does china, and china has a lot more resources and a lot more money. so why are we just focusing on russia? why aren't we also looking at north korea for that matter? were you have a massive of people in leadership to say the least. so he's the chair of the house intelligence committee, he should be doing a better job of telling people what the foreign threats really are. because it's not just russia that wants to reelect donald trump. it's also china, and they are looking out for their interests. they want a president who they know is going to be short-term that is going to deliver that for them. my question for adam schiff also chair of the house intelligence committee, why haven't you produced legislation that keeps the country safer from outside foreign influence? same thing for nancy pelosi. >> dagen: they were busy impeaching the president and having the trial when the coronavirus was spreadin

adams would say of that?laughter] >> the genius found its routing in the mind of the father, no question about that -- found its rooting in the might of the father, no doubt about that. >> seeing this nation has prospered, it has endured so many difficulties, war, civil strife, turmoil, yet it has endured. and that is a credit to the american people, for sacrificing all to keep it existing and keep it moving forward into the future. understand that as your son, george washington lafayette, companies you. >> he is in the carriage now. >> and the two of you are bringing on your travels a great hog's head. variousisit the battlegrounds, would you care to share your intentions? >> it is my great intention to acquire first from the united states of america has many important sites that i had some connection with, such as mount vernon, brandywine, and bring back some of that earth to france in the hope that upon my death, i might be buried in american soil. eyes well up, general. this is a property on, if you would

earlier we spoke to analysts constantine and adam last hour and asked him why look at saying go when an adamant about staying in power was now elephant in the elections well he is resulting to it typical tactic of an authoritarian who's cornered is trying to bite his son is trying to buy time to to to invent some kind of solution and this is probably a 1st indication of weakness which misty can ask if she saw it in him to be sure she did it should read as an opening to jack up the pressure because i think that. basically lucas shankar started on the stand that setting the oman troops the police on protesters doesn't work anymore and the fact that today all of the detained according to the bill are russian authorities were released is an indication that he doesn't want more confrontation that he feels weakened and this is to some extent probably a tipping point for follow shankar who as you rightly said who is the devil you rightly said was completely adamant that he's not going just a day or 2 ago. the united states democratic party has kicked off its 4 day virtual convention aimed a

looks like we have adam schiff, no, there we go, adam schiff is coming up next. first, we're going to talk to ron johnson, one of those mornings. mr. chairman, thank you so much. first, i want to talk about what happened in portland. we saw someone get killed overnight, amid clashes there. and the president has been tweeting and retweeting before dawn this morning. he called for the mayor of portland to resign and be arrested. he painted protesters as thugs. and cities in chaos. you were the chairman as i mentioned of the senate homeland security committee. are you comfortable with the president appearing to enflame tensions instead of what we normally see from presidents which is trying to to calm them down? >> well, good morning, dana. i've been urging calm across the board particularly in light of what happened here in kenosha. but as i said in the opening statement when we had acting secretary wolf before my committee, when you encourage the disdain for the police you encourage criminals. when you do little or nothing to stop rioting, you encourage anarchy. p

and these individuals were important to abdel adams early life. and we try to commemorate them and honor their memory by researching their lives and cooperating information about their lives into our tours, and also offering a program on early new england slavery every year. and so this year, we are very pleased to be able to have jarrett hardest in trying -- i wanted jerry to speak for us, since his first book came out which is on freedom slavery independence in 18th century boston. and this year, the stars have a line. so jared is an associate professor at western washington university, and he is the author of black lives native lands white worlds, history of slavery in new england. i welcome you to give jarrett award will.

coming to speak to us, but it is because adam smith was principally an educator. he was a professor and a private tutor, and he was beloved by his students. and marcus witcher, you have seen throughout the day, is known as a very exuberant, enthusiastic educator. i first met marcus several years ago at an institute, or you may say a conference, i spoke, and then he followed me. he later told me, and i mean years later, that he was so relieved that i went first, because i did not do such a good job, i made it so much easier for him to follow. [laughter] i was an easy act to follow. he was very pleased by this. but marcus has spent the last five years writing this book on ronald reagan, and ronald reagan has become a signal, he has become an icon for conservative spirit we have the presidential debate for the republican party held at the reagan library. it is a de facto pre requisite for candidates to air their opinion and pay homage to ronald reagan. but, as marcus likes to point out, there is a disconnect between the way conservatives thought about ronald reagan i

how intelligence committee chairman adam schiff responds. >>> plus team effort. again, america's sports players take a stand, cancelling games in protest of police violence. >> it's exhausting being black, especially when you're a celebrity. >>> why is this moment different? wnba star and president of the women's association, neka -- will be here ahead. >>> in the middle of a pandemic that is still not until control, and as the name comes to a reckoning, protests recharged by the police shooting of jacob blake in wisconsin. we have breaking new. just overnight another person was killed near a protest, this time in portland, oregon, where demonstrators clashed with pro-trump ralliers. according to "new york times," the man who was killed, was wearing a hat with a patriot prayer insignia, a far right group in.. this is after in kenosha, wisconsin -- and we have breaking news about the security of the election. jake tapper learned that the office of the director of national intelligence will no longer brief congress in person on election security, a moment that hous

ronald reagan was an adamant anticommunist. he's probably got the best anticommunist credentials in the conservative movement. he's an adamant anticommunist. he can quote from whittaker chambers' witness. just from memory, he'll recite the first page in like cabinet meetings. so he's deeply influenced by that. and going all the way back to his time in hollywood, he's an adamant anticommunist. he believes the soviet system is socially and economically bankrupt and eventually, right, socialism will collapse upon itself. and most of americans, most americans knew he was an an anticommunist. that's something most americans knew. something a lot of people missed is reagan was also a nuclear abolitionist. despite being a cold warrior, an adamant cold warrior, he absolutely detested the policy of mutually assured destruction. he and margaret thatcher disagreed with that. she thought it led to stability, no world war iii. reagan thought it was a policy that basically held the american people and soviet people as hostages in this confli

in that in the the person gerry adams. which also like john hume wanted an end to pretty short in on him but were prepared to use on force to do it and join him and his constituency when prepared to do that but coloring outside the lines like going across that divide. really was a very politically risky thing to do but actually if it broke open the whole problem it upset that equilibrium and right up the steps of the biggest steps possible i'm going to come back to gerry adams in in just a moment but 1st of what if you take a listen to what the u.s. senator edward kennedy said about john human back in 1970 when i think john hume was an. indispensable and sort of awakening among american politicians in the 1970 s. that the most effective way that we could begin the advance the cause of peace is to reduce or terminate to the extent possible of the financial support for bombs and bullets so how important were his efforts to securing u.s. backing for the peace process. again that that backing which is crucial it didn't really
