it was not something that alexander hamilton or ben franklin -- even if they were willing to fight for it, this is something i should've mentioned. not just the property rights idea was entrenched, but the idea of state sovereignty was so entrenched. it would not be a national solution to this problem. it would be individual states with the authority to decide when slavery was abolished, if slavery was abolished. even the anti-slavery voices were not going to push for a national government with power to abolish slavery. >> thank you. we know, as you mentioned, that about 25 of those 55 delegates in the room, they did own enslaved people. slavery was still present in the united states. even today, with researching this topic, looking back over 200 years and trying to find information about not only the debates but the people that those gentlemen owned, i i have been hitting a lot of walls. you are going to see an interpretation of something that takes place in philadelphia in 1870 -- takes place in philadelphia. >> do you remember me? perhaps you know my master. he met here at independe

it, likewise, was the home of good ben franklin and is the site of independence ball and the bell of liberty. here, discover a museum that's one of our nation's richest jewels. a little further on, we see an area rich in the beginning of our history, jamestown, where on the new continent, the first permanent english settlement began. not far away, discover yorktown. here when the great corn wallace gave up his sword to washington, america became a nation. here, too, were ended many lives when american patriots fell in our great civil war. good men were lost in that conflict, which gave painful beginning to our modern nation. in washington, there echos lincoln's pledge that they shall not have died in vain, that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth. it has not perished, nor has liberty, which thomas jefferson reminds us is a tree whose roots are nourished by the blood of patriots. many have been memorialized beside the potomac. brave soldiers. some are known, some unknown. further along the potomac, a goal of tourists for over four ge

so things are ben franklin asked for those who have read ben franklin's autobiography.utside of dodges were i could get some reading done were supposed to be working. so i do a lot of things that are frantic pace in order to earn back time of reading i want to do. so it's nice to may end up having a job it's basically reading. but for me, how i handle, i have a lot of different demands on my time. because mainly i'm a teacher. as most professors are afraid it's not i was clear that's the case. it's most important thing we do. i generally come at the beginning of the month they get out a calendar, in the olden days it was a peace of paper. i mark up everything i have to do this that semester. all the committee meetings i have to go to, the lectures i have to give, department meetings, times that i'm teaching. and i tried to the degree i can to move stuff into particular days. and every day that i am not teaching or in a meeting, i just put a big w over the day. that is a writing day. and then those are sacrosanct. if summary was to meet on tuesday go for lunch i want to

wasn't even something that alexander hamilton or ben franklin thought they were authorized to bring to the convention. even if they were willing to fight for it in their own state. not just the property rights idea but state sovereignty was so entrenched. it wouldn't be a national solution. it would be individual states that would decide if slavery was awouldished. so even the anti-slavery voices were not going to push for a national government with power to abolish slavery. >> now we know, as you mentioned, about 25 of those 55 delegates that were in the room, they did own enslaved people. slavery was still present in the united states. and even today with researching this topic, looking back, over 200 years, trying to find information about not only the debates but the people that those gentlemen owned. i've been hitting a lot of walls. right now, you are going to see an interpretation that takes place in philadelphia in 1787. their do you remember me? oh. well, perhaps you know my master. he met here at independence hall with about 55 other 55 other ge for months. day after day, the

joie: right across the ben franklin bridge from philly is jim florio's old home turf -- camden. and corrine's place -- where the boss dishes out a message about civic duty. corrine: you know, how dare you not vote. and i mean we, a lot of our ancestors were killed just to vote. joie: still, she says it's easy to see why many will skip voting. long lines, few ballot boxes, and a memory of efforts to keep some people away from the polls. kelly: i saw my parents could not vote back in the 1930's, in the 1940's and 1950's. they had jim crow laws. joie: this time, there's fear citizen militias, inspired by false claims of widespread voter fraud, might pick up where the 1981 task force left off. jim: the remedy for this is to lift the level of awareness of people to this practice of intimidating voters and have people call it out. joie: or risk a repeat of efforts to silence a community. for "matter of fact," i'm joie chen in camden, new jersey. >> coming up on "matter of fact" -- this is the land of the hopi. come with us to meet citizens of both tribe and nation, still struggling to

on election night they probably didn't even use clocks ben franklin just looked at a candle in a jar,impression of ben franklin from the john adams miniseries. "i concur with mr. adams." [ snoring tom wilkinson, everybody one of the greats. they did you dirty in "michael clayton," t! also, just to be clear i know nothing about colonial times i'm just assuming they didn't use clocks don't correct me it's "a closer look," it's not school anyway, the people claiming now that counting votes the morning after an election is somehow a scandal are just bad faith, soulless ghouls. they all claim to be traditionalists, or originalists, or whatever ridiculous euphemisms they want to use for being anti-democratic reactionaries. when the constitution was written, it took weeks to count all the ballots. that's why the electoral college meets in december and the inauguration was originally in march. hell, it probably took weeks just to fill out the ballot because you had to use a quill and inkwell. on the other hand, the calligraphy was beautiful. again, i know nothing about colonial times except w

as ben franklin said, an ounce of prevention is worth an ounce of cure. you would rather prevent this disease rather than try to treat it. once it's already -- the virus is replicating you, then you develop an immune response. you have to treat fairly early in the disease process to make a difference. it's much better to just prevent this. >> one thing that is clear is for all the optimism we have about the vaccines now, we have to get throughout months. i mean, this news is all the more reason to wear the mask and be careful over the next few months. we can get to the point where we get vaccines. doctor, thank you for what you do and thank you for your time this morning. really appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> developing this morning, long time palestinian peace negotiator died. he was suffering from coronavirus. he was being treated at a hospital in jerusalem. he served as chief negotiator for the palestinians for decades. he pushed for a two state solution to the middle east conflict. he was secretary-general of the palestinian liberation organization

ben franklin explained it this way: i like to watch.ives, and two for each state's senators, no matter how small that state is, guaranteeing that the millions of people who live in los angeles carry less weight than ken, the only citizen of ken, north dakota. he's worldly, he met an hispanic once. the district of columbia gets three electors, but u.s. territories, like american samoa, guam, and puerto rico, get zero electors for reasons science has never discovered. it's a mystery, like ancient astronauts and the saswatch. oh, also, the sascwawch gets a vote. the winner takes all the, lectors in every state, except maine and nebraska, because... no reason. none of this makes any sense. the stars blindly run. sell all your possessions and live in a cave. there is no god. where was i? oh, yeah, thanks to the electoral college, the candidate who got the most votes doesn't always win, giving us history's greatest presidents, like john quincy adams, rutherford "b" haze, george w. bush, and donald trump, a real who's who of who you didn't vot
