that the technology by which assad kills people, doesn't matter so much whether it's bullets or bayonets or poisoned gas. but it does breach an international norm when he goes ahead and does this and he does that because he can get away with it. and the first reports of use of poisoned gas were back in 2012 and since then the international community has not responded effectively. and so at one level, it's syria and iran and russia that bear the central responsibility and in a larger sense, i think it's all of us in the international community who essentially averted their eyes and let this

but the bottom line is -- no matter who gave the order, the bayonet charge likely changed the outcome[ shouting continues ] >> but as the second day of the battle of gettysburg draws to a close, heroism is tempered by tragedy. >> gentlemen, it's been a hell of a day. >> by the end of the second day, the union lines have stabilized. they're on the dominant military terrain, meaning that they're on high ground -- cemetery hill and little round top. they're looking across a broad, open field toward the army of northern virginia the question, leading from the second day into the third day, is -- what will lee do? >> our line held today. i don't know how, but it did. as i see it, we can stay put and see if the line holds again tomorrow or we can retire to a position closer to our base of supply. where stand you, men? >> we must stay and fight. >> we stay. >> we fight. >> well, then...the question is settled. if lee attacks, it's likely to be at the center, near your position, general gibbon. >> as the battle reaches a tipping point, lee and meade position their troops for war. >> fire! >>

bayonet, which is depicted in this painting here, where soldiers are heading over the battlefield, you see that as the case. one of the things is to depict the realism. this drawing here, which is perhaps the smallest and maybe not the most expressive in the show, in my mind is one of the most powerful. it really shows the scale of the first world war in terms of the veracity and the industrial component of it. we see a huge shell crater here. then to figure standing here, which gives you a sense of the scale. you see how the landscape was utterly transformed. effectsday you see the of how the earth was essentially turned up by this massive bombardment, massive military assault. >> soldiers have a lot of time when they are not in combat when they are in a military conflict. of course the famous phrase about the soldier that hours and hours punctuated by minutes of extreme intensity, which is common. with were a lot of time troops were behind the line doing everyday things. we see the section of the exhibition. and we see some interesting examples of the artwork. we see soldiers having

bayonet, whichhe is depicted here, the we see a sample of that in the case. one of the things we try to show here with a sprinkling of a variety of artifacts is to show the realism that is depicted in the artwork. this drying here, which is perhaps the smallest, and maybe not the most expressive artwork is oneshow, to my mind of the most powerful. it really shows the scale of the first world war in terms of the veracity and industrial component of it. shell crater here, then we seek to figure steny hoyer that gives you a sense of the scale of what was happening. again, you see how the landscape was utterly transformed and still today, you see the effects on the french countryside of how the earth with this -- was essentially upturned by this massive bombardment, massive military assault. of course, soldiers have a lot of time when they are not in combat, when they are in a military conflict. the famous phrase about soldiers hours andhours of boredom punctuated by minutes of extreme intensity, which of course is common of war. there was a lot of time when the

. >> sir, we will give them the bayonet. [ horse neighs ] >> jackson was a deeply religious man and heof his relationship with god. he said, "when i'm in the heat of battle, i don't feel even remotely afraid. you would see him sitting on his horse with his hand in the air, praying. >> [ thinking ] according to his law, all things work together for good. >> general, your hand. >> merely a scratch. >> he was one of those guys who believes, you know, god's got a day in mind when he's gonna kill you. so when there are artilly shells expng aund you, "well, you know, if m gonna go, i'm gonna go." and that gave him kind of a cool head on the battlefield, which his men rallied around. >> charge them now! >> stand firm, men. >> fall back! [ indistinct shouting ] >> halt! halt! look at jackson standing there like a stone wall. let us determine to die here today! for your lives! [ all cheering ] >> men, hold your fire until they come within 50 yards, and when you charge, yell like furies!

to march with bayonets affixed to theirrrives, a privileged for solely for that renalment. and it was because of the thirden fantory's valor that the commanding general at the vera cruz granted it the honor of leading the victorious march into mexico city during which he turned to his staff as the third infantry passed in review and said, gentlemen, take off their hats to the old guard of the army. and ever since the name has stuck. after the mexican war came the civil war, which divided not only our nation but also our army. ulysses s. grant and robert e. lee now faced off against each other. the third infantry fought every major battle in the war's first years. first full run, antietam, fredericksburg and jettiesburg. suffering casualties, the old guard ended the war at the headquarters standing alongside general grant at appomattox courthouse. in the days that followed, the vast majority of state volunteers returned them to their families, but not the old guard. the regulars, as they were known back then, went straight back to the front, again protecting settlers from in

they seem to follow the isis playbook renting a van, driving around and killing people with their bayonets elected. and yes, the details coming out this morning seemed to suggest maybe it isn't. what is your analysis this morning? >> i find it interesting that our intelligence community had knowledge of this individual. they have been elaborated on the extent of what the information is. when they approached the canadian officials. they didn't divulge anything they had. never to come in the other question we are facing is how do we prevent these attacks after driving forward. sadly with the knowledge of the law enforcement community they're almost impossible to prevent because of this type of one-off situation, the sloan terror attack. i don't want to say the terrorist incident yet because they've not come to a conclusion that is the case. the only thing we could do was in anticipation of these types of incidents that are prepared, which is new york city for example. gerri: that's a very interesting point given what happened on the street yesterday. a toronto police officer i believe really

federal soldier bayonetted her to death. and seeing the kind of memories that that triggers, it's really difficult to have a view of this city as being representing multiculturalism and you know, the city of love, the city of hope. it doesn't reflect that when you see that as a representative of our city arts. i would respectfully ask you, remove the statue, and please think about what -- how it affects everybody every day. thank you. >> clerk: thank you. for those people standing, please find a seat or stand on the other side. we have to keep it clear for the fire code reasons. thank you. next speaker, please. excuse me. the people standing, can you find a seat, please. thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is jeanine leywa. i was born and raised in san francisco. i feel there is a time and a place for everything. the time is now, and long overdue to remove the early days statue by civic center. that statue is visible by everyone who passes by there, and it depicts racism to american indian. i'm here as an american indian w

britain, the traditional fundamental powers of western europe asserting that civil society with bayonet's edge on the war-torn regions that are closer to europe than they are to the united states. on the other side of the ledger are russia, iran and these power that have been less interested in the multilateral coalitions. the problem is at the end of the day macron is a multilatter allist, donald trump snot. >> abby, you want to make a point? >> reporter: just briefly the macron gamble with trump, it's better to be a friend of trump than an adversary. and i think on some level that works well for him. and while he hasn't succeeded on all of these other fronts he did say a week and a half ago, when he talked to president trump after the syria air strikes he convinced him of the need for the u.s. to continue to be engaged. now, we don't know where that's going to go in its final stage, how much longer president trump is going to hang on to the u.s. commitment to syria, but at least for the time being, he stopped talking about pulling out completely. we authorized air strikes in syria. and

about military and the border it conjures up an image of soldiers in uniform standing there with bayonetsio grande. we have a law against what we refer to as a posse comititus. so if you deploy the guard to the border they can do no more than support and though illegal migration is a fraction of what it used to be, the demographic is totally changed. the stereotype -- the traditional model where single adults from mexico with the improving economy in mexico over the last 15, 16 years, which has also contributed to the downturn, what we see now are women and children from central america coming in and a lot of them don't expect to evade capture in the first place. and that's the issue we have to address. in central america with aid to central america we began that in the beginning of the last administration with congress and if you really want to move deportations through the system, we fe we need more immigration judges. that's the bottleneck in this whole system. putting more national guard on the southern border. i feel like i've seen this movie before. >> so under certain circumstances
