our understanding is in the months that followed the surrender the congregation would form an asher church, simply meeting outside under the trees. by 1867, the congregation had been able to form enough money and resources to build a log church that exists about a mile to the west of the courthouse. about 50 years later, in 1916, a new church would be built on those same grounds and that's the church that is still there today, more than 100 years later. so the story of john robinson, not only a homeowner and co-founder of a church, he's also a business man, a shoe cobbler, and apparently a pretty good one because he ran a business here for more than 50 years. he didn't pass away until 1933 but after raising a large family, a successful business and and some of the robinson family members are buried in the back yard of the kelly/robinson house. so right here in the little village of appomattox county we can see the so what of the surrender. we only had to look a little more deeply to see the untold stories. >>> cspan is your unfiltered view of government. we're funded by these television co

[applause] host: jeff asher, your reaction?: i know they are offering a significant -- $8 billion over five years, i believe, to provide for community violence reduction. approaching it as a public health crisis is a smart way to do it. the question is, how do we do it appropriately without better data collection? a suggestion, if the president is listening to this, would be that improved data collection on shooting. we do not collect data on specific shootings. doing that nationwide would be a critical step to better understanding policy effectiveness. we do not have a lot of understanding of exactly what works in reducing gun violence. there are a handful of programs but if you were to say, absolutely, what is the one thing we need to do to reduce violence, i don't think we can say that. i am hopeful that a large chunk of the resources dedicated to reducing violence are dedicated towards better data collection and better evaluation of programs so we are not throwing money at bad programs. we are measuring the impact of the po

that's asher this is spin a story that's been percolating you could say for several weeks and months now. we wait for an announcement on just how safe this vaccine is just give us a sense of why it's so important to find out which vaccines countries in europe should be using. well it's very important because of course the european medical agency governments across europe need to convince their public that the vaccines they are using are safe i should just say as the we are waiting for that press and that press conference by the european medical agency on the safety of the astra zeneca vaccine but there are some reports coming out already that suggest that what we might hear from the may is that they have indeed found some links between the astra zeneca vaccine and rare forms of blood clots however on balance we understand that the m.d.m.a. is expected to say that the benefits of the astra zeneca vaccine outweigh the risks and what they would mean by that is something that many doctors have been saying over the past few weeks and that is that the risk of 19 to a person's health possib

it's always possible in the at the bad news about asher zanuck is it really amplified by the fact that at this point we don't have many alternatives available that are approved by the world health organization and that could theoretically be available in reasonable supply by mid year to later in this year so you know johnson and johnson is still in the process of scaling up its production you know could it also have some supply interruptions or delays in production yes i mean we've seen that with all the vaccines including the i need section so i want to get into the logistics of mind that but i am curious and i'm sure many of our view is to about why the astra zeneca vaccine but a more likely to cause cuts in younger people is it to do with a stronger immune response potentially. you know we don't have the answer to that question there is a very you know scientific explanation we think it looks like a very rare clotting disorder that occurs in in certain people who get. a blood thinner called heparin. but we still can't explain why it occurs and why it seems to be a little more common

david asher is from the hudson institute. you were the investigator on this.. you said this was highly likely a leak from a bio weapons program in china. why? >> at least it's a leak. we declassified information january 15 that they were sensitive military programs going on at the wuhan institute of virology and other institutes in wuhan. they were funded by the chinese military. programs not associated with bio defense. the chinese declared they bio defense programs at the biological weapons convention in geneva. they didn't declare the coronavirus as a priority area for research in the wuhan institute was declared as a civilian institute. that sounds suspicious to me. doesn't it to you? >> martha: yeah, it does. we know that they were doing gain of function research, which is a way to make a virus more deadly, a way to make a virus easier to transmit from human to human and even redfield, the former cdc doctor said he doesn't think that this is likely anything that came from an animal. it learned how to replicate way too fast. can you explain that? >> well,

we had these asher scottish cows which were really great and so i did that for 10 years milking twice a day. but what happens there? is that as you get older the cows realize you're getting older too and they sort of take advantage of you. so i got out of that and what happened one day harvard sends out to all its domestic alumni this thing. will harvard magazine every two months or so. and most people get it and they look at a few of the articles and then go right to the obituary to see who surviving in your class. so i did that one day and real and saw that a guy who i'd been in i guess he'd been about two years ahead of us had died and i started thinking about what happened to the 18 guys, you know in in my class and who had what they had done who had been happy who had been sad etc and i knew i'd been in touch with two or three of them, but i didn't know what happened to the others and so we decided to do a gene would do a documentary would be a good idea to documentary as to to what happened with these guys. that's where i came in. i didn't know kent when he sold the cows i didn'
