i like to say that ben franklin is the elon musk of his day. was an a incredibly innovative guy who was incredibly successful at a lot of different things. so, you know, we hi that blockchain -- we think that blockchain is going to be a key component to being able to unlock that liquidity that exists and bring it to, you know, basically the masses. and so we wanted to make sure we understood how to do that, and, you know, there's a lot of stable coins, anybody who's dabbling in the crypto space understands that there's stable coins there yielding 8 and 10%. and if you have any, you know, investment background, you realize that in this rate environment, that's probably pretty hard to do. so we wanted to come out with a legitimate, regulated stable coin, so we worked early on with the sec to, you know, get it approved, and they really worked with us on that. so we built the shareholder record on blockchain, and now we can roll out other products there. and, you know, things like -- here's what gets me so excited about the tokennization. bitcoin i

ben franklin's barbie. even though the country thrown in everybody's jossla, isiah galvan was very good for no illusions on her romantic ideas of war. old law, i'm going to be some hero, will make a difference or any of these is water. if you could die differently, if we're going to do 3, was with heavy fighting already reaching the city, the a pin, just outside keep. it looks likely the volunteer. his bravery will soon be put to the test. while attentions continue to grow between moscow and the west, germany is looking to israel to help lower the temperature on saturday, chancellor will have shelter hosted israeli prime minister, natalie bennett and berlin. it's the 2nd time this week. the 2 neatest met after shoulds visited the jerusalem on wednesday to discuss a diplomatic resolution to the crisis. and it has offered to attack or act as a mediator with israel maintaining good relations with both russia and ukraine. and it surprised many when he on saturday became the 1st world leader to meet face to face

the legendary ken burns with us in studio 1a for a chat about his new ben franklin documentary.s 8:36 with award winning film narrower and our pal ken burns. ready to captivate us yet again. he has a new project out >> a two part documentary that explores the life and work of one of american's founding fathers, benjamin franklin here is a sneak peak. >> franklin is by far the most approachable of our founders he's not somebody made of stone like a george washington franklin was pretty simple in his moral code he was driven by a desire to pour forth benefits for the common good. but there is a lot in benjamin franklin that makes you flinch and we see franklin not as a perfect person, but somebody evolving to see if he could become more perfect. >> like our union. ken burns, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> ben franklin, where do you even start the founding father. you can't make it. >> he's the most amazing american of the 18th century greatest american writer of the 18th century successful businessman, a printer a publisher, greatest diplomat in america. >> inventor. >>

i don't know where he got that quote from, but-- ben franklin.t americans, and you're in one of the few national memorials that are in private hands, really an entryway to one of the great science centers in the world. narrator: but whereas this interactive museum may be best known for its giant walk-through heart and brain, now this almost 200-year-old institute has been magically transformed to host the world premiere of harry potter, the exhibition, the most comprehensive touring spectacle ever presented about the wizarding world. this is, without a doubt, the most fantastic exhibition on "harry potter" that has ever happened. you'll be able to go to hogwarts, experience the great hall. you'll take a visit to hagrid's hut. you'll see props and costumes, but you'll also be engaged in an immersive experience like no other. and i'll tell you, the response from visitors has just been phenomenal. man, you're going to see more people scalping tickets for the harry potter exhibit than eagles game pretty soon. - well, we could. philly's a great sports

. >> we appreciate the inspiration of ben franklin. i yield back. >> i will now recognize the congresswoman for her five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chair. last tuesday during the state of the union address the president highlighted an issue that my colleagues care deeply about which is mental health one of the centerpieces of myy legislative agenda joining the chair with mental health and suicide prevention act and legislation to support positive mental health promotion and high schools. it would authorize ej just to establish a grant program in school districts to distribute behavioral health services to address mental health for prevention needs. i have worked with the congress woman to aim to create online spaces that have a positive impact on youth mental health through internet design and safety act in my office has been investigating online suicide forms a way they provide instruction to struggling youth. these are big issues that require new regulations and funding streams and agency resources and we are talking about something

that's when they came to people like ben franklin ben crump brought me and we started raising issue and local activists in brunswick was really consistent and persistent to the point where the governor brought in another prosecutor and they got the case so we wouldn't chasing him and as we were the ambulance the ambulance came and left it way it was and that's what people don't understand if we did not come then who was going to stand up for an army on other case and i think that that is what is really crazy to me and then when i look about like me there was a case in new york and oh 89 oh 1989 yousef hockey young man killed in a section of brooklyn bensoners where they didn't want blacks there. i lived in marches out there protesting calling for the killers to be arrested one saturday. ran out the crowd stuck a night from my chest you just from my heart how much you gonna pay me to get stabbed and almost killed. my daughters was four and five years old. i mean how much you gonna pay me to your staff? oh on days that we spent. i want spent three months in jail for leading the protests i

you have done projects on everything, from baseball to the civil war, why ben franklin?he most interesting of our founding fathers. he is the one that offers us a portal to the moment of our founding, words and all. it permits us to see all the challenges that are part of that founding, as well as all the mythological -- these are all profound human beings but all deeply flawed. no one more so than benjamin franklin. he's also one of the most non static founding fathers. george washington does not change. commissioner person is not change. franklin goes from a little bit embossed into a rich man to the world's greatest scientists to the world's greatest diplomat to an editor at the decoration and forger of the constitution. he quotes the constitution and then becomes the head of an abolitionist society. he offers the first resolution the congress of abolishing slavery, which is of course ignored by the senate and dismissed by the house. nonetheless, it's a motion in america that it will finally have to deal with the unfinished business of our founding. he is make it inte

his proposal to taxidermy ben franklin was part of this broad er self-promotion. he was really outlining the work he was done that he had been able to achieve at his museum so far and looking for additional funds. he was also the curator of the aps cabinet and at this moment he applied for permission to rent space from the society in philosophical hall in order to open up his museum there. so given his dual roles, it's highly likely that he was also displaying some of the aps cabinet's collections alongside and within his own museum. here we see the learned society and the public museum really coming into contact. so this was not without some anxieties especially on the side of the aps. one of the largest specimens, a skeleton of an indian elephant, was placed on display at peel's museum, but the society was very careful to note that they preferred, quote, a handsome and suitable inscription to show that it was placed there as best calculated to answer the purpose for which it was desired. a little scuffle in the minutes. someone felt the need to note that this de

. >> appreciate the inspiration of ben franklin. i yield back. >> i will now recognize congresswoman trahan for her five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chair. the president highlights an issue that i know my colleagues care deeply about, and that's youth mental health. the issue has been one of the center pieces of the legislative agenda, and the suicide prevention programs in high schools, and school districts would strengthen behave annual health services and awareness and address suicide prevention needs. aiming to create online spaces that have a positive impact on youth mental health through the kids' internet design and safety act, and we have been investigating online suicide forms the way they provide instruction and encourage with regard to youth. these are big issues, and they require agency resources. today we are talking about something that may feel simple to a lot of folks, changing clocks, but changing clocks can impact teen mental health and that's what i want to explore today. can you testify why sleep is important for

close, why they should, why they shouldn't. >> i like that like ben franklin it might be rather shockingeasons, but we know what some of the biggest reasons are. i mean, obviously. >> believe me, i get it. it's nuanced putin did make a difference, but in the end you can follow obviously as we're discussing a long trail of decisions that got us at this intersection. when the light turns yellow we have all the cars smashing into each other the most recent event is putin but there's a litany of events that preceded it >> yesterday was a big day, rick, because on the wires you got the empire which was higher. thanks, rick steve liesman joins us now with emore. what's going on, steve >> i like empire and higher. >> and wire. >> and wire. this is an interesting forward obviously we're watching those import prices up but, you know, this revision to january is fascinating because, you know, we may be doing better on first quarter gdp, but it depends on what happens with inflation here almost certainly inflation adjusted retail spending fell because remember you're looking at i think it was a 0.7

as a result it falls to people like you and walter, from civil war, vietnam, fdr, ben franklin. people learning our history through visual history? >> you know, the greatest mechanical invention, mike, is the book. >> yeah. >> right. it still is. we live and we have to admit in a very visual culture. i'm a filmmaker, i want to tell stories visually. we are drawn by the word so it is a way to draw people in. we hope it invites further story. if you talk about benjamin franklin, this is the guy on the $100 bill. it is the largest denomination in circulation. it is the symbol of wealth. he is the symbol of pulling yourself up by your boots straps but he's not that. all of his envengss he held without patent. it was never untethered from civic responsibility, from civic duty. you see what i mean? when he can be adopted, say, by libertarians and say, oh, this is what success looks like, you have just torn that $100 bill in half and you only have half of it. the rest has to be connected to doing good for others, which is what he spent his life trying to do. those are the lessons that

it's been mentioned before that the first postmaster general was ben franklin, of all people. and what the founding fathers had in mind was a way to bind us together as a country. to bind us together as a country. the idea of being able to communicate through the mail, that was important. the idea of fostering better, greater economic growth, that was important. but they also were looking for a way to pull us together as a new nation, and the postal service was integral to doing that. over the years the postal service has changed. for the most part i think it's changed in good ways. it used to be people got their mail by going to post offices or maybe in the community where they lived or close to the community where they lived. but they had to go to the post office to get it. eventually the mail was delivered to farms and to homes and to businesses across the country, and people didn't have to leave their homes to get the mail. there was a time not that long ago when we didn't have the internet. if we wanted to communicate with one another, send letters to people or cards to p
