, secretary of the navy who hates grant's, suggests that grant was a drinking too much during andrew johnson around the circle, although johnson himself denied that grant was drinking too. and then there was another allegation in 1868 and otherwise. you see, grant's not completely abstaining from the bottle, but you see him in moderation. alcohol flowed in large quantities, and the grant white house and sometimes he would drink. sometimes he would, but was seen to be able to drink with meal that had no you know there was no sense no evidence that he abused it that he had trouble with it. so i think these observations those are it's hard to prove a negative. i think that that the drinking reputation stems from the smear campaign and is not really supported you know by evidence. so we're just about out of time. going to slide in two quick answers to questions here under the deadline here. dave from d.c. says, consider grant's memoirs to be one of the best autobiography fees by a u.s. president. do you agree? absolutely. grant's memoirs are clear, concise, excellent examples as of writing. they

under andrew johnson, the president's policies. and they begin to pass these black codes which are going to kind of attempt to restore slavery and everything but name, you know, fully kind of repressive policies toward african-americans. and this is, again, the conventional story. congress comes into session december of 1865 and says, we can't have this. this is not what the war was fought for. and they begin to hammer out the civil rights act of 1866. and what becomes a 14th amendment to kind of put a brake. what they see the states were doing in 1865. this is partially true. but what i am of showing and trying to show in my book is that the the republicans in congress in 1865, 66 were drawing on these arguments about, african-americans and sort of race and civil rights that had been going on in the north, in particular for decades before. and that actually quite many of the men who were making these policies at the federal now had been involved, in one way or another in this antebellum kind of civil rights movement. and so they h

it has been used by president johnda andrew jackson, abraham lincoln, andrew johnson and white effectivelyr even though we think of fdr's court packing plan as soremember what happenes losing all of his new deal cases in front of a conservative supreme court. to expand the court and all of a sudden he was winning all of his extremely new deal cases in front of the supreme court. if we call that a failed foreign expansion, court expansion■b is. i know for some people that is going to sound extremely ■ío$if you read my plan, actualy think that we need 20 more judges and i want to■q share thm with republicans. 11-9. not 10-10ause what they did with merrick garland needs to be stopped. but if■a justices, put them 11-9, that would maintain a conservative majority on the supreme c i cou4 with a conservat majority on the supreme court because my idea is that more judges who are committed to democracy and lessommitted to whatever flags they are is what is necessary for the country. you give me judges who all believed that the supreme court should have less power and now we are cooking. judges who

on june 20, 1867 , us president andrew johnson announced the purchase of the alaska peninsula from russiaworld by a russian expedition a century and a half earlier, alaska was slowly developed. on a territory of 15 million. at the time of the sale , only 2,500 russian settlers and about 60,000 indians lived and... at the beginning of the 19th century, alaska provided income through the fur trade, but then in st. petersburg they decided that the costs of maintaining the defense of this distant land would outweigh the profits from it, and they offered to buy it to the americans. for 7,200,000 dollars with gold, that's 4 dollars and 73 cents per square kilometer. in march 1867 , a treaty was signed in washington. all real estate was transferred to the states, except for churches; they remained with the orthodox church. the tsarist government spent almost all the money from the sale of alaska on the construction of railways in russia; the deal seemed profitable at the time. 30 years later they found it on oleska deposits of gold, coal, gas, copper, iron and zinc, in the 20th century also oil,

now, over the course of the next 120 years, millard fillmore, andrew johnson, chester arthur, teddy roosevelt, calvin coolidge, harry truman. and when johnson would all follow tyler's example in succeeding after the death of the presidents they served. but let's face it, when they served healthy presidents, vice presidents didn't have a lot to do. so sometimes they had a little side gig just to kind of keep him busy. martin van buren's vice president ran a tavern serving beer. harry hamlin, who is hannibal hamlin? abraham lincoln's first vice president listed in the army as a private, went off to fight the civil war. ulysses grant's second vice present wrote history books. teddy roosevelt thought about going to law school. harry truman played poker. i mean, there wasn't that much to look. they didn't even have an office in the white house because they were presidents senate. they hung out on capitol hill, in the capitol. they had offices there. no president actually even gave them an office in the white house until lyndon johnson came along. he's the first one to argue to get office in the wh

but andrew johnson, he was the vice president. he was a white supremacist.e he sided with the planters who wanted their land back. and he vetoed every effort to make those land titles permanent. amna: so how are those families removed? they were literally forcibly removed from the land. alexia: some of them were. some of them revolted. some of them were forced, pressured to sign work contracts, basically to work with their former enslaver. and some just said, no way, and they left. amna: i want to name some of the people you uncovered here because their names have otherwise been lost to history. fergus wilson is one, jim hutchinson is another. pompei jackson is a third. you managed to track down some of their descendants as well. did they know about the land and the history you're sharing with us now? alexia fernandez campbell: a lot of them did not. a lot of them did not. and i even spoke with one descendant who has been researching her family diligently. she lived with her great grandmother, who was pompey's daughter, and even she thinks her daughter, his

a few got a few acres, and then andrew johnson stopped it, giving land back to the plantation owners.oclamation. it even then it doesn't make any difference that lincoln issued the proclamation. i'm underwhelmed by juneteenth. i'm more concerned about the great betrayal, that the black men fought and died for the union, then went home and the land was given to their former owners. what a betrayal of black people in this country. i'm not having any great celebration. >> i think you're getting at a specific and a systemic indictment of the whole conversation, right? >> that's right. >> but at the root of it is something that's happening in cities and every state in this country. that's the desire to teach even less, right? part of it is awash of our own ignorance, mine included. >> that's right. >> the order part is the shallowness of it. how do we get at the roolt of both 6 those things? >> we do it by hitting the truth real hard. we do that by taking people -- whose ancestors were enslaved, who lived through jim crow, we need to go back to history, where we lived through segregate, ly

and this was why boris johnson evaded an interview with andrew neil. corbyn because there was no reason to do it. so there was no reason to do it. so the famously adversarial style of the bbc and of people like nick robinson, you always look a bit stupid. it's whether you're going to look very stupid or just a bit stupid. that's the best you can do, isn't it? because there's such fierce questions, you just don't look good. so i wonder why anyone does them sometimes, but certainly starmer. no point him doing it. also, i like this nickname, sophia starmer, but i was so i quite like sebby's corner braverman that was a thing. and they tried to get it going. and boris johnson said it in the house of commons. sir comet, to me it was hilarious, but it didn't really catch on. >> no, no, i mean it's i mean maybe ed miliband's ham sandwich might have caught on a bit more, but, you know, everyone likes beer and korma , so it's not beer and korma, so it's not because he was caught out, wasn't he? >> he was trying to say, i've been caught out in partygate, but you

and then last night, house speaker mike johnson revealed israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu will address congress on july 24th. andrewperry. thank you. >> texas authorities say they busted an ongoing human smuggling operation. the smugglers are accused of hiding 26 migrants in a compartment that was part of a flatbed trailer. the migrants say they were in the compartment for three hours in triple digit temperatures. 11 of them were hospitalized. seven suspects were arrested. >> now to the suspected gilgo beach serial killer charged with the murders of two more women. this as officials released details of the horrifying notes allegedly found inside his home. here's abc's andrea fujii. >> this morning, the suspected gilgo beach serial killer is now charged in the deaths of two more women, bringing the total number of alleged victims to six. >> his intent was nothing short but to murder these victims. >> prosecutors say rex heerman killed jessica taylor in 2003 and sandra castillo in 1993, which is ten years earlier than any prior known killing. taylor's family was at yesterday's indictment. >> this year has been 21 yea

johnson is insinuating. >> thank you for the help understanding that. it just stuck out to me since he said it. let's talk about what happens next on the path forward and andrew, you have made this point, but since then, trump has made even more attacks on people participating in the process, that some of the things he has been saying are violations of the gag order, attacking people involved in the process. we will weigh on the judge during sentencing coming up july 11th. talk to me about how you anticipate the impact will be and what you thought about what he said on friday and how the judge would be hearing that. >> well, two of the things the judge will be considering is the lack of remorse, and the risk of recidivism, and for lack of remorse, i mean it's hard to think of a case that shows more lack of remorse, and this is somebody who is prideful over what happened, and he is not only showing lack of remorse for himself, but he is sort of fomenting across the nation, i just respect for law completely, so i mean this is undermining our system. also on recidivism, it is important to remember what the jury found here was that the 34 felonies neil referred t

that relate to boris johnson and liz truss, it makes rishi sunak more unpopular than than both of those predecessors. it also leaves him not far off what i would call prince andrewandrew territory. what prince andrew being —50 rishi sunak being close to —30. but here's a here's the issue right ? close to —30. but here's a here's the issue right? i mean, look, rishi sunak's lost the country , right. he's not in the country, right. he's not in the conversation anymore. let's be honest. the conservative party, they're not even competitive . they're not even competitive. the question now is can they minimise losses. and who is going to replace rishi sunak after the election. yes, those are the questions that are going to bubble to the surface for nigel farage and the reform party. big opportunity. they are winning over somewhere between 35 and 45% of 2019 conservatives. now, if that continues and if that continues to inch upwards , reform will to inch upwards, reform will overtake the conservatives in the polling . the polling. >> but top out somewhere. i mean, we can say that their poll rating might begin with a two rather than a one, but how high could it get? >>

andrew? so much incoming at this point. let's look at the market technicals with craig johnson, piper sandler managing director and chief market'm a market hater, but i just have been feeling increasingly uncomfortable with the narrow leadership and nvidia really and a.i. and maybe fiscal stimulus, all these things that don't seem organic that the market is feeding off of, you feel the same thing a little bit, that the engine warninglight is on? >> 100%, joe. we do think that the engine warning light is on. we think this is a market that does need to correct and when we start stacking up all the things that we are observing technically on this market, among the stocks that are above the 200 day moving average, the number of stocks making 26-week new highs in the market, the number of stocks and the concentration in this market, joe, right now, 30% of the entire investable market is technology. we haven't seen numbers that high since '99, 2000 period of time and then when you take nvidia, microsoft, and apple put them all together, they have a market cap combined that is 320% larger than the entire russell 2000. that's crazy. a

my opening question to our panel, starting with andrew griffiths, is would you like to see borisjohnson back out on the campaign trail? to see boris johnsonack out on the campaign trail?— campaign trail? goodness me, yes! this is a moment _ campaign trail? goodness me, yes! this is a moment for _ campaign trail? goodness me, yes! this is a moment for all _ this is a moment for all conservatives to come out on the campaign trail. we are faced with a labour government that will tax homes, pensions, savings. now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of the party and get the country to wake up to the risk that we face. ~ ., i. ~ country to wake up to the risk that we face. ~ ., ,, ~ ., we face. darren? would you like to see boris johnson _ we face. darren? would you like to see boris johnson back _ we face. darren? would you like to see boris johnson back on - we face. darren? would you like to see boris johnson back on the - see borisjohnson back on the campaign trail because mark i don't really care, to be honest. the chaos from the conservatives _ really care, to be honest. the chaos from the conservatives is _ really care, to

andrew? >> they're saying that they agree with you. they want the conservative party to be conservative, but they are saying that boris johnson's legacy,ess about the damage to our country and society, that illegal immigrants crossing the channel have caused, and others pointing out he threw his full weight behind the net zero project. so people seem to be saying, yes, let's have more conservatism. they're just putting a question mark over whether boris johnson is the right man to do that . right man to do that. >> well, he is a conservative and he is fighting for the victory of rishi sunak, the prime minister, and this election . and you're asking me election. and you're asking me whether i welcome all conservatives hitting the election trail, working flat out between now and 10 pm. on july the 4th to secure every single possible conservative vote? and of course, i welcome every conservative doing that. that's what all good conservatives should be doing. >> can i ask you about another announcement that's been made this afternoon? and that's from the reform party leader, nigel farage, who said that he would aboush farage, who said that

andrew. if you want to talk about underpants. okay. right. so but he made a brilliant speech called in democracy we trust question mark. this was when johnsonin charge , and when johnson was in charge, and he was warning that if you don't take care, democracy , democracy take care, democracy, democracy and democratic institutions can fade very, very quickly . and i fade very, very quickly. and i worry about i worry about the extent of, you know, normalisation of lying in politics, i think, is a real problem. i think media bias is a real problem. i think the extent to which even in this campaign, you've seen an example of it where sunak who promised professionalism, integrity , professionalism, integrity, accountability keeps doubling down on the £2,000 and then on this betting thing. yeah, i just cannot see that the public just think this is wrong. deal with it. now. >> suspend him immediately. totally to go back to what i think one of the reasons turnout is falling. people look at the two main parties and think, what's the difference? what is the big difference? labour are going, we're not going to raise income tax. we're not going to rais

andrew pierce. emily and emily and tom are here with. good afternoon, britain. have a lovely day. >> we are here. we are here. could we be about to see a whole lot more of mr boris johnsonment, but rumours are that he could be making a return to the campaign , trying to get some the campaign, trying to get some of those reform votes, perhaps, and stick with us, because dunng and stick with us, because during the show we'll be breaking the very latest number of small boat crossings. >> you'll be shocked . >> you'll be shocked. >> you'll be shocked. >> looks like things are heating up . boxt boilers sponsors of up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> good morning. welcome to your latest weather update from the met office here on gb news. for many a fine day today there will be a few showers around but many places won't see them and stay dry. also just a little bit of rain working its way up towards kent so we could see some rain here for a time, particularly later this morning . a scattering later this morning. a scattering of showers already across scotland, 1 or 2 more developing through the day over northern england, perhaps northern ireland, maybe down int
