barnum was not perfect however. i have to say that the imbalan imbalance, he was wonderful company always for me. reading him, he was so witty and he could turn of phrase so well. i always enjoyed being in this company and i often went over by him. one of the things that make him a great character write about, was that he was not perfect. like the rest of us, he was very imperfect. one of the things that really made the job interesting day by day for me, was to think about the things he did in the various contexts. and one is, he may have done this but then everybody did it in that day. this was sort of a historical characteristic. you might think of his treatment of animals. he was very dedicated to bringing exotic animals to exhibit. it was often a grisly process to capture these animals and ship them. the understanding of how to care for them when they got to the museum was limited. they were learning all of the time. parliament did often bring handlers for the animals or people that were familiar with how they l

barnum, jr.edad: for saving the lives of many on that december day in 1965, barnum received the medal of honor in february 1967. in his case, it took just 14 months. when you look back at your career and all the tremendous opportunities you've had, how do you feel about it? barney: i feel blessed, i really do. soledad: why do you think some people did not get their medal, who we look back at now and think they clearly deserved it? barney: i can see that bias, personal bias, and you know, when we're dealing with individuals who make decisions, we're dealing with imperfection, and as a result, the right thing sometimes is not done. soledad: do you think it matters to set history straight? barney: without our history, what are we? i mean, we are what those that have gone before us have done. as they say, "if you don't recognize the heroes who've kept freedom free, then shame on you." sergeant melvin morris, a story -- >> next on "matter of fact." sergeant melvin morris, a story of recognition denied

so again at a certain point you know the wizard of oz the barnum and bailey the show men you know nobody believes it anymore and there's a certain you do do a suspension of disbelief and everybody does russian to junk bonds and and fracking like that was part of the jump on industry is like if you actually open your eyes and look a little bit like it was never making money said this is a bad investment the same with people rushed into wherever they thought charles saatchi was going to invest next because they wanted to front run him right well at a certain point people stop doing it they run out of chunks and possibly look at the because they are prizes in britain the turner prize awarded at some point to tracey emin for her unmade bed right that's junk art right and that's the reflection of our having been jungle fied by people like charles saatchi you turn it into a ponzi scheme and gave dame amos damien hirst who is doing spiral graft in his basement to sign on for a 1000000000 dollars or at least he was until everything fell apart well he actually had assistance to that but finally i

cummings about how he went up to durham, went for a drive to barnum castle, back again, and then downndon. he seems to think there was no contravention of the rules. it raises a lot of questions given he said that he, his wife, and his son displayed symptoms of covid yet he was in public. he says he maintained social distancing rules, but as we know, in the u.k. if you have covid symptoms the instructions are to self-isolate. he does not regret what he has done, even though people may disagree. so essentially, he is saying during the lockdown, he went to his second home. he was showing signs of covid-19, but he did not think it was enough to keep them from going on the road. where others allowed to go to their second homes? was it made clear that if you wanted to go to vacation home, you could go during the lockdown? sebastian: to be clear he went to his parents home but stayed on a separate property. but the answer is no, you're not supposed to go to another property. the advice was clear. these people are all breaking the rules. the fact that the man who was part of the decision-mak
