this is from antoinette jeffries in maryland.odium is a raised floor or stage or pulpit, look it up. when a person is speaking, they're standing on the podium with their papers resting on a lectern, please, please stop abusing the word podium. pass this to all your friends, peers and relatives. we must correct this now. pass the word. why do i feel this is not the first time you've spoken passionately about this? yes, i will try to remember that. i can't promise that i will, but i get it. and when people say nauseous instead of nauseated it makes me crazy, the word nuclear makes me crazy, and i'm going to work on podium. and i'm going to thank you for making me a better person. let's see, what else here. dan says i think you are the sexiest man on television. you have a beautiful smile that would light up any room you walked into. as a gay man, i want to let you know, if you ever feel the need to try something new, i'm here for you. my friends dared me to send this to you. they should know better. dan, i'm good right now, but if

antoinette: it's whoever's available, really. lemonis: even the manager of the place doesn't know who's in charge. she doesn't have anybody to lean on. what's the first place you look if you're gonna go eat at a restaurant? -tranchina: oh, the bathroom. -lemonis: let's check it out. tranchina: i just had them scrub this place the other night. lemonis: look at the toilet. -it's disgusting. -tranchina: yeah, it is. that's a hot dog machine. lemonis: why do you keep it here? todd: we don't have much storage. lemonis: and how about this back here? this looks clean to you? tranchina: no. lemonis: the cleanliness of this restaurant -- well, it's not measuring up to any sort of standard. i hope the food at least does. what is this back here? sammy: so, this is where we prep our patties. lemonis: you guys have frozen burgers? sammy: yeah. we re-form them so it looks more handmade. lemonis: so, they're not really handmade? sammy: no. lemonis: huh. -is everything frozen? -sammy: yeah. lemonis: if you're telling me that your burger sets the

. >>> two and a quarter centuries ago, marie antoinette met her end under the guillotine.says when she she was told there was no bread to eat for the peasants, she said let them eat cake. all of this brings me to my question of the week. what food stuff are french people being urged to consume now? croissants, frogs legs, cheese or baguettes? stay tuned and we'll bring you the correct answer. i have two great new books for you this week. richard haass the world, a brief introduction and the new class war by michael lindh. you already heard plenty about them both in the show. they're well worth your time. the answer to my question this week is "c." the french dairy industry is facing a glut of spoiled product as consumption of the nation's formidable catalog of fromage declined 60% in three weeks after paris enacted a nationwide lockdown on march 17th. the guardian reports french consumers have stocked up on essential foods instead and since most varieties of french cheese go bad in eight weeks or less, pallets of product are put t r ish rifying as i speak. the there's a ne

since -- since it's a small town where the king of france, louis the 16th was arrested with marie antoinette in 1791 so everyone knows of that small town. on the day they were arrested, it seems like they spent one night as prisoner in that tower. so now it is called tower louis the 16th. but then, of course, the town was occupied by the germans during the first world war for four years, almost day by day as they came here early september, 1914 and the town was liberated by american troops on september the 26th of 1918. so that was quite the logistical center for the challenge. they had railroad tracks here to give the supply to all the troops that were on frontline. and the frontline stabilized around three miles south of the town. so that's context before the beginning of the meuse-argonne offensive. and it's called meuse-argonne because left flank from the american offensive is the argonne forest we'll see in a few seconds and the right flank is the meuse river. so we are 20 miles away. and, by the way, the frontline was around 20, 22 miles wide for the meuse-argonne offensive. >> there w

including her friend, antoinette blackwell who was a minister by training and just -- didn't want to touch the idea that marriage was nearly or primarily a legal contract that could be broken. but the women were also temperance advocates. and the argument was that women should be able to divorce drunken husbands. there was an ongoing debate about what was worth bringing up in the context of women's convention. stanton was able to bring up anything -- you know, stanton as prepared to -- hurl her thirned. and not everybody -- her thunder. and not everybody -- she was not stra teen ifpblgt >> we have a great number of audience questions. is there anything you want to ask, that she could help guide us on? >> yes, so for obvious reasons, we've been focusing on a particular period of time, stanton's life. but there is plenty that comes after 1902. and plenty that comes after 1920. as i mentioned, how we grapple ith this, i'm curious what you most want to convey to people about what the 19th amendment did or did not do. >> that is a great question and a complicated one. which historians are

full-length portraits of louis xvi and marie antoinette. that is what is hanging over congress. it is going to take a year or so before they commission a portrait of washington. and then they say, oh, we should probably put it next to where the king and queen of france are. so there is kind of a very concrete example of their of it there of it is not quite a bot that is plastering it into your feed. but a reminder of crafting those first policies and who funded you. and it is monarchical. so it is definitely something of concern, something we see in the letters when they are talking about possible british and french influence that is going to wrench apart what is already rising partisanship in that first federal congress. fred: do you want to add anything about foreign interference? nathaniel: i would say that there actually are overtures on the trans-appalachian frontier from spain, actually inviting folks who are settled in the area that will become tennessee and kentucky to consider seceding and becoming part of spain. they are being offered access to the waterways of the mis

that's according to antoinette sadler. are you concerned that this whole pandemic may hurt that, that hurts the funding that is needed in communities of color. >> we know that the undercounted occurred in 2010 despite the best efforts of president obama and vice president biden led to an undercount hurting communities of color now, you see the lack of access to ppe, the lack of hospital beds, those are directly related to undercounts from 2010. and now we face an administration that has been he while they have been doing a good job of trying to adapt by extending the deadlines, you may have noticed they tried to sneak in language that would allow the census to use what is called citizen voting age population by sending out census track data about citizenship. they were told no by the supreme court. if they can jerry-rig the system, undercount communities of color, like texas and arizona and georgia, what they can do is ignore communities of color and racially gerrymander legally. we have to think about this not only in ter
