at the same time baldwin is attempting to help this man, surgeon adams goes by and screams at baldwin, saying you cannot be helping a dead man. you have to go on to somebody who can be saved. this is the form of triage that people are dealing with. , as surgeonight baldwin is returning to the where adams and other surgeons are performing amputations, he comes upon a group of loose hogs who are feeding on deceased bodies outside. this was not a good day. perhaps this first day under fire, it was officially the second day, i think it was probably his worst day in the service and it happened right at the beginning of his true service. i will say about this is i think it made him a veteran very quickly. in theructed him terrible choices that surgeons had to make, and they were always making such choices. like soldiers, they would wait around and wait around, the surgeons did the same thing until there was a battle and that was unimaginable brutality and staying up all around the clock, being extremely exhausted, hardly able to focus. after the war, surgeon baldwin is around for quite a bi

and this made morgan baldwin quite anxious, to say the least. he was at gettysburg all three days and here is what he told us on the second day, july 2nd. he tells us the medical unit for the regiment, that they were compelled to move three times because the shots kept getting closer and closer arrange they were concerned some of the medical staff would get wounded and this happened regularly during the war. they moved their dressing stations three times during that stay. and the last of these three stations, a man with exposed intestines starts to scream for baldwin's help. it's fairly clear that he is mortaly wounded and at the same time he is attempting to help this man, surgeon adams goes by and screams at baldwin saying you can't be helping a dead man. you have got to go on to somebody who can be saved. well, you know, this is the form of triage that people are dealing with. so later that night as surgeon baldwin is returning to the farmhouse where adams and other surgeons are performing amputations, he comes upon a group of loose hogs who

every senator, if he or she was facing what senator baldwin is facing today, would want this body to defend their rights. i would urge at least one or two of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, for the sake of the senate and for the sake of the country, to voac on -- vote no on brennan whether you agree with his views or not as a protest to the way this has happened. now, one final topic, net new neutrality. later today democrats will take the senate another step towards the consideration of a bill to restore net neutrality. when the republican f.c.c. voted to repeal net neutrality, they handed the internet providers all the cards many they said do what you will with the internet, charge consumers more for faster service if you like or segment the internet into packages, forcing the average family to purchase faster times for their favorite websites. let big corporations purchase faster internet service while startups and small businesses and consumers are left in the dust. public schools, rural americans, communities of color or anyone in a remote area or without substanti

[laughter] .ut it is good to be here this is part of the american dream series, about how we can think differently about the american dream by placing the great migration at the center of the conversation. is exodusfor my talk from dixie. of the great migration is a social movement. like many great migrations are immigrations in the american past have primarily been seen as being driven by the search for a better life, which is the context of jobs. america is the light -- land of prosperity. there are opportunities. you can make your own way. americans have been slotted into storyline, but it is truly a search for jobs. i would argue on one hand you can look at the poll of northern industry as a major impetus for the migration from south to north, but you have to look at the

james baldwin was one of those who made the pilgrimage to atlanta and while baldwin stayed at a hotel, he didn't stay in an army cot in a classroom. on the morning of tuesday april 9 and he wrapped his atlanta hotel and walked to towards ebenezer baptist church which of course is where he had been a preacher and his father had been a preacher and that is where the service was held. people stretched from every direction. he squeezed his way closer to the church and inch by inch until a wall of humanity finally stopped him in his tracks. outside of the church. he was wildly until someone on the church steps recognized him and sort of lifted him over. he followed his escort into the church and found seat, but those. the pew in front of him held celebrity entertainers, marlon brando, said the party. ralph abernathy occupied the pope and was basically the second in command in the civil rights organization. baldwin wrote the atmosphere was black with a tension that was indescribable as something perhaps the heavens or the earth might crack. as the service began, he tried to keep himself tog

over the objection of one of his home state senators, senator baldwin, who has not returned a blue slip on his nomination. it's an abject breach of senatorial courtesy that both parties have long respected. in fact, the seat mr. brennan will fill on the seventh circuit has been held open for six years by the senior senator from wisconsin, senator johnson, via the same process, the blue slip. when barack obama was president, when patrick leahy was chairman of the judiciary committee, we democrats obeyed the blue slip, and it led that seat to be vacant for six years. now that the shoe's on the other foot, the republican majority will ignore the blue slip rights of a democratic senator, even though they fervently believe that we ought to listen to the rights of the republican senator of wisconsin, and this -- their actions, the republican leader, arose one of the few remaining customs in the senate that forces consultation and consensus on judicial nominations. in the grand scheme of things, the vote may seem for my colleagues on the other side like a small one. one judge for one circuit c

senator kohl decided not to run for election and senator baldwin was elected on november 11, 2012. because i felt it was so important that judicial nominations be made and work in a process on a bipartisan basis, i recommended a commission, a compact with senator baldwin, which she agreed to, i would have three commissioners and she would have three commissioners, and have people who would want those vacancies. they would only forward to the president somebody who received five out of the six votes or support from five out of the six commissioners. it worked well. the commission was set up and we nominated and confirmed district court judges for the eastern district, pam pepper, and the western district, james peterson. a little more difficult position to fill was the seventh circuit. one of the conditions was four recommendations sent to the president. because the applicant pool was limited, only two received five out of six votes. during discussions in determining what to do because we hadn't fulfilled the terms of the compact that required four judges, i agreed to just submit th

for our international viewers, amanpour, for our viewers in america, newsroom with brooke baldwin starts right now. >>> thank you for being with me on this memorial day. as the nation pauses to remember its fallen heroes. the president is not taking a pause from his attacks on the russia probe. he's sent a string of tweets that the obama administration had a spy in the trump campaign. giuliani said the takedown of mueller's work was all about influencing public opinion. let's go to jeremy diamond. the president is now saying that this russia probe is rigged. are there facts to back these claims up. there do not appear to be any new facts the president is continuing to level his unfoundedations that there was a spy in the 2016 election. those claims, there is no evidence to back them up. just last week, there still is no evidence to back up those claims of a spy. it has not stopped the president from continuing to allege the mueller investigation is illegitimate. the president doing this amid memorial day. he tweeted spy gate he's used to try to brand his attacks on the mueller investigat

i'm brooke baldwin. is the president spending a message through his mercy? he will pardon filmmaker dinesh d'souza and he's considering pardoning martha stewart and blagovevi blagovevich. for blagovevich, it's 18 federal charges and it begs the question what kind of message the president is trying to send and, more importantly, who does he hope is listening. with me dana bausch a-- bash an walter schaub. remind us who is dinesh d'souza. >> he is a well known conservative writer. he was convicted and admitted to making up names in order to give more money than was legally allowed to a republican senate candidate in the state of new york. he violated campaign finance laws in a pretty brazen way. he was, as i said, convicted. he didn't serve time but he has that very big blemish on his record and, more importantly, because of that he couldn't vote. he did not vote in 2016. so this is obviously a very important cause to a lot of conservatives. apparently ted cruz is among those who have been asking the president to either commute a sentence or pardon and he deci
