i wonder where he got the dubois part, and there's a former american army officer named augustus william magee. they will set off from nacogdoches, cross into the neutral territory into texas, beginning in the summer of 1812. when they finally arrive at nacogdoches, the spanish garrison there surrender. they join the filibuster. and then they begin moving to the south toward labea. by the time they arrive there in august, they will siege that position for four months before the spanish finally surrender. and then they will move to the north and west against san antonio, even capturing san antonio. now, here is when the a gutierrez delara/magee expedition runs awry. there are ethnic divisions within these ranks. and once they capture san antonio, the tejanos decide they're going to execute the spanish governor, man yell salsedo. he will be executed, and many americans will say we didn't get involved in this to settle old scores. we got involved in this to bring texas into the union. well, americans began leaving the rebellion. and within a few weeks, a mexican force coming from the south

. >> well, i portray a guy named alexander augustus. he was an officer in the civil war. he was a doctor. a medical doctor. he was trained in canada. and he came here to actually be a doctor in what started out to be a clinic at a contraband camp that was later the basis for howard university hospital. so it was a real person. now, it's one thing to have the re-enactments take place when it's just somebody in a union uniform and somebody in a confederate uniform. but you have an african-american show up with auniform, bullets in the

he said "when it comes to relationships i get the augustus shrimper award." and i... and i've met... i've finally met someone. >>. >> rose: so were you bad at living or... >> bad at living and bad at choosing. good artistic instinct bus when it came to love... >> rose: now is that all about her? in other words you didn't know what you were looking for but she had something you hadn't scene? >> i allowed her in. >> rose: you allowed her in. >> yes. and it's... it's... that's why i connect with... that's why i connect, i think with george. it's... it's... you get to a place where you can feel worthy. and it's my time it's... i can be loved and it's okay and i think that you... but i just turned it around and was open to it. it's just a shift of perception. it's that old thing, isn't it? is the glass half empty or half full? it depends on how you look at it. and so things are... things are good right now and then of course this nomination is a sort of charity... the cherry on the cake. i'm enjoying it, charlie. i think you could... again, it's a choice. i think you could

reality is, just a history lesson, greece has been supported by its neighbors since 30 bc, since augustus, the empire, reagan, greece has never supported itself. so we've been anticipating this for 2,000 years. so nothing has changed and nothing will change. it's 3% of the eurozone gdp. it has no affect on the u.s. stock market in the long run. >> and that's really the question when we look at it, when we talk about a dis0 orderly default, that there might be contagion, that it might send the markets reeling. >> the can country has already defaulted. private investors are 70% down permanently. this is worse than a default investment a default you restructure. there's no restructuring. greece has already defaulted. the euro banks have more money in reserves than in the past 15 years so everyone has already anticipated this. the u.s. banks have an extra trillion in reserves than a year ago. this is all anticipated so there's a total buffer zone now. >> and we look at the private default, the private creditors there and the default they are going to take, the haircut, we were expecting aroun
