i have to say though, visiting what is now called the benjamin franklin institute of technology in boston to me best invokes franklin's spirit, not just because when you walk in the doors of the historic building there are murals along the top of the ceiling of the lobby showing scenes from franklin's life with great reglan -- franklin quotes. you walk through that school and you see young people learning trades, they are not sitting at their desk passively, they are working at 3d printers, they are welding, wrenching. the president at the school, i visited several times, he said to me the principles of learning the trade in franklin's time and our time have not changed that much. you are trying to solve a problem to help a customer, more efficient to make something work better. people keep asking me, we have the industrial resolution and robots are taking over, and we are training students to fix the robots. there is always going to be used for our graduates. even though many people do not think about it until a door needs repairing. he said to me, walking through these halls, i am seein

>> benjamin franklin. >> why benjamin franklin? >> with the, kind of like, the freedom, liberty. when we talk about liberalism in that sense, john locke as well, the freedoms that come with it. >> so, certainly, we'll talk about this in the next couple class periods. certainly, the enlightenment is about politics in some ways. natural rights. we will get back to this. good, what else comes to mind? the enlightenment. by the way, is in the class when you are in high school taking history, we're talking about the enlightenment today? but i guess when your eyes glaze over. and there's nothing exciting here. caleb? >> reason? >> reason, how many have heard the enlightenment referred to as the age of reason? we'll come back to that. anyone else? what kind of figures do you think about when you think about the enlightenment to the 18th century? we heard about franklin, we heard about locke. any other names hit you? >> jefferson. >> good, thomas jefferson in america. often known as a man of the enlightenment. >> voltaire? >> good, we have these frenchmen. rousseau, walter. there is this

she cited benjamin franklin, but confused. a famous quote on the unity of liberty and safety. benjamin franklin presidency said freedom and democracy, freedom and democracy monthly. security here. if we don't have, we can have it either. if we don't have both, while her trip came with words of hope, freedom, security, and unity. the 3rd in line to the u. s. presidency was criticized by many for making the contentious stop on the island territory, which is driven and even bigger wedge in relations between china and washington. political science, there is ted roles saves the time. one issue is not one, many americans are thinking about at all. this is an inherently ridiculous journey . it seems to be an attempt on the part of the democratic party preceding the november 2022 mid term elections to look tough on foreign policy. something that they sort of never do, even though really they are these days more aggressive than their republican counterparts. and i'm disappointed you know, nancy pelosi used to be one of america's sharpe

and of course it's not even a friday and flip that she mangled benjamin franklin. you know, i think she's become such a china hawk such a militarist over the years in her position and her alliance with the military industrial complex that she's not even able to even remember that there is a significant part of american political culture that is highly skeptical of militarism and adventure as them overseas. i mean, these days americans are americans, are really focused on inflation, inflation and inflation. they're really worried about the economy. and to a secondary level, they're worried about the federal reserve bank, perhaps going too far and driving the economy back into a ditch, into a recession as they have done in similar circumstances in the past. i think this is not going to move the needle very much. i don't think anyone cares among american voters about taiwan and china can let's turn attention to the middle east. we're only an hour before the morrill event was to get underway to mark the 2nd nursery of the blast that devastated the port of beirut lebano

she cited benjamin franklin, but confused. a famous quotes on the unity of liberty and safety. benjamin franklin, the presidency, said, freedom and democracy, freedom and democracy. and one thing security here. if we don't have, we can have either, if you don't have both. and while mister lucy's trip came with words of hope, freedom, security, and unity. the 3rd in line to the u. s. presidency was criticized by many for making that contentious stop at all on the island territory, which really has driven an even bigger wedge in relations between china and washington. where the discuss all those issues about one in particular, less growth live to political satirist and or 3rd, 10 broad high to get to see you see below see getting her thoughts in a twist. i just when she thought, i suppose she was making a killer of her remark. yeah. i'm disappointed you know. nancy pelosi used to be one of america's sharpest and brightest politicians. but look, we all get old and we all get pastor expiration date. i think it's fair to say that t

smack you also mentioned benjamin franklin. the way it almost selzer conversation, images are involved. can you tell us about this great cartoon that franklin generates very early on in the conversation. >> yes, so he sets a gene genius and he invents a lightning rod and social institutions in the first secular university and he's also someone that invents the world's first real political cartoon and it's not from britain and it's a very democratic culture. and it is the picture of a snake that is cut up into pieces and he has a slogan. it is the first viral means in which we could say hash tag join. the colleagues after work together with the mother country to deceive the french in the early stages what would become the french and indian war. and i'm very same page, he is a newspaper madman. if he were alive today he might be rupert murdoch. there is a picture of a snake and in effect he's also telling his audience about a young 22-year-old military officer from virginia who bravely is confronting the french named george washin

. >> in our earliest days of our founding of the country, benjamin franklin and the president said freedomracy, freedom and democracy, secure this a cure. if we don't have -- we can't have either if we don't have both. >> jason: all right, what is your take on president benjamin franklin, lisa? >> see here, should of course, she has her mask on for her signaling purposes but look it is a gasp when it's 30 years old, cognitive decline when it's nancy pelosi at 82 years old or joe biden at 79 years old who can't complete thoughts, can't complete sentences and keep getting things wrong. these people need to step down. they are too old for political office but of course, they won't because they love the power and enriching themselves and their families. there is too much money to be had off of their political office purity but i will say this, joe biden sat there on a town hall there hall stage and said "you are not going to get covid if you get the vaccine and he still battling covid for the second time and he got military heroes over that light, americans fired over that lie and so many lies

i don't believe we know the makeup this one either but we do own the benjamin franklin. i'm not sure how it came to his eye care. that's a great question. i'll have to look into that. oh like here. yeah. yeah where it was the washington desk now it is so it was also with the philadelphia history museum and i believe it's now with the collection currently stewarded by drexel. i don't want to get this wrong, so i'm not going to detail about it, but i know it is safe and sound. yeah. so yeah drexels it will be with drexel's collection, but i believe i'm sure it's in storage. yes. yeah. yeah, we love it to come back home. yeah, exactly. all right, susan mcgill what happened to the love letters that elizabeth found in the desk. so in that letter she does say to washington that she will give them to tobias lear, but at first to buy his leader doesn't want them. he is too nervous that his personal correspondence between martha and george, which i think is very interesting because tobias lear was his longtime secretary so you would think that there would have been some overlap,

. benjamin franklin, the presidency, said, freedom and democracy, freedom and democracy. one thing security here. if we don't have, we can't have it either. if we don't have both, while a trip came with many words of hope, freedom, security, and unity. the house because was criticized by many for making the contentious stop on the island territory. that has driven a wedge and relations between china and the us. often for her former vice chair for the libertarian national committee, discussed the us middling in asians politics with us earlier. well right now, the united states has an understood that you can have an opinion without committing to an 80 arctic policy live, in my opinion, is that taiwan should be a completely free and independent nation. but i'm not willing to commit us soldiers to it. i'm not willing to commit us taxpayers to it. that's just an opinion of that . i hold of what i think an ideal world would be like. and then suppose is completely right to express her opinion. the problem is the way that the us government is running right now. a foreign policy i

. benjamin franklin, the presidency, said, freedom and democracy, freedom and democracy. one thing security here. if we don't have, we can't have it either. if we don't have both, almost while her trip came with words of hope, freedom, security, and unity. the high speaker was criticized by many for making the contentious stop on the island territory. which really has driven a further, a bigger wage in relations between china and the u. s. r been voted, former vice chair for the libertarian national committee discuss with us the american meddling in asia politics. well right now, the united states hasn't understood that you can have an opinion without committing to an 80 arctic policy. was in my opinion, that taiwan should be a completely free and independent nation. but i'm not willing to commit us soldiers to it. i'm not willing to commit us taxpayers do it. that's just an opinion or get a hold of what i think an ideal world would be like. and nancy pelosi is completely right to express her opinion. the problem is the way that the u. s. government is running right now,

presidents, washington, adams, jefferson, and franklin and hamilton. >> you mentioned cartoons and benjamin franklin so away your title almost sells the conversation short because it also images involved. tell us about this great cartoon franklin generates early on in this conversation. >> he's such a genius, he invents bifocals, the franklin stove. he invents the lightning rod. he invents social institutions, the first secular university, a lending library, philosophical illustration but also invents the world's first real political cartoon. it's not from britain, it comes from america, early on america's democratic culture is simple, 1754. the picture of a snake cut up into pieces and he has a slogan. the first viral meme and we could say # today. join or die. 1754 he says colonies have to work together with other countries, britain to defeat the french. the early stages will become the french indian war. on the very same page in 1754 of a newspaper, he's a newspaper segment. if he were alive today he might be rupert murdoch or something like that on the same page there's this picture of a snake a

we'll talk about benjamin franklin's gentel. remember i mentioned that some of you are at my convocation address that i gave months ago. i talked about the gentle right this this group of ordinary tradesmen. what was ben franklin's trade? he was a printer right? i mean you think of ben franklin is sitting in continental, you know, the continental congress, but when ben franklin came home from work every day, he had ink all over his hands. he had to clean up. here's what he was a tradesman. he was a worker he would gather with a bunch of other artisans like blacksmiths and carpenters and so forth. they met once a week in this club called the genteau and they described the club as a club for mutual improvement. there's no better enlightenment definition in that right a club for mutual improvement that get together. they read a text together and talk about it. someone would like present a paper that they wrote and they would debate it and so forth, but you see this over and over again that the enlightenment is both an individual eff

she cited benjamin franklin, but confused. a famous quote on the unity of liberty and safety. benjamin franklin, presidency said, freedom and democracy, freedom and democracy. one thing security here. if we don't have, we can't have it either. if we don't have both. and while her trip came with words of hope, freedom, security in unit c, the u. s. representative was criticized by many for making the contentious stop on the island territory, which has driven uneven bigger wage and relations between china and the u. s. r been voted on former vice chair for the libertarian national committee, discussed with us american meddling in asia politics. well, right now, the united states hasn't understood that you can have an opinion without committing to an 80 arctic policy. was in my opinion that taiwan should be a completely free and independent nation, but i'm not willing to commit us soldiers to it. i'm not willing to commit us taxpayers to it. that's just an opinion of that. i hold of what i think an ideal world would be like. and

he goes on to note that he's pretty sure that benjamin franklin would be on board with this idea and he's imagining how these specimens could add to the collections of natural history that he's assembling in the museum. on the one hand, the strange and radical proposal to taxidermy benjamin franklin and allows us to see the anxieties of the early republic. especially this moment where there is a lot of fear of political instability. the luminaries, that most visible figures of the nation's founders, were no longer alive and in full view of american citizens. it also allows us to see how peel, and his contemporaries, were imagining the world of museums and cultural institutions and what they could play in the social and intellectual life of the nation. what should they collect, preserve and display? how might material objects be part of a process of constructing knowledge about history, science and culture? and who will participate in determining what we choose to hold in our site and value. these kinds of questions were really central to the early history of american museums. as i ex

and benjamin franklin thomas hutchinson bothnj boston born bh very smart.t have said franklin's going to end up supporting his illegitimate son is the royal governor of new jersey. and hutchinson will side his fellow new englanders or something. lots of people more obscure but i picked hutchinson in particular because i want my audience to see there was another side even to the american revolution. thomas hutchinson were alive today he was not a demon at all. my analogy he is harvard educated, he is sober, he is a traditionalist party believes in hierarchy. he loves his country but his country's britain. he left his hometown which is boston. if he had been lucky enough to been born 20 years early he would not have had to pick between them. but he does and he ends picking his king. so i do try to widen the cast of characters beyond the big six the first for president washington, adams, jefferson, madison plus of course franklin hamilton. >> you just mentioned cartoons and you also mentioned benjaminn franklin. so in a wayay your title almost sells your conve

the daughter of benjamin franklin to her daughter.n her father's birthday, evidently, she dance with the general on his 20th wedding anniversary at the powel's. i imagine it would have been in the very room where i am sitting right now. as we've discussed, it could've been anything from entertainment of the day, it could've been, absolutely was some political affairs. they were often coming over after they had these deliberations. it was really the epicenter of social life. and the powel's or right at the center of it. this was the place to be. >> absolutely, absolutely. all right, susan mcgill says, how do we know that samuel edited elizabeth's letter to george washington urging him to run for another term? the reason that we know that is this is just kind of basic in all of my research i have learned the powel's handwriting very well. it's kind of a funny thing, i was actually going to put a screen cap of the letter on our instagram. we have it scanned, i accidentally exhumed into close on the letter when trying to take a screenshot

meeting earlier with the parliamentarians and our earliest days of our founding about country, benjamin franklin, m presidency said freedom and democracy, freedom and democracy on one thing. security here. if we don't have, we can't have it either. if we don't have both. so security, economic security economy. and again, they're all and governance. they're all related and we want come on to always have freedom with civility. and we're not asking them thank you very much. anything you like? thank you so very much ladies and gentlemen. today's event is especially important because we are witnessing the historical visit of speaker pelosi to tie while the can be the message of the u. s. support to tie one. so we know in a challenging time like these towers may belong, we also relate to thank very especially to prescient tain when for her leigh of sheep, her resilience, strength, and wisdom shall in leading, tie one. 0 sources. he appreciation goes to distinguish members of the us congress or company speaker pelosi in her cheap. your friendship means a lot to us. thank you so much for being the anti

published by benjamin franklin, "the american instructor" was a do-it-yourself guide to various lifeonial americans. molly: there's all different types of recipes for cleats, for dropsy, for fever. and i saw one that said "suppression of the courses." maybe it was because i myself at the time was pregnant and thinking about these things. but it connected with me like, doesn't that mean a missed period when the courses are suppressed? paul: so "courses" is menstruation. how do we mp from that to abortion? molly: so this was a typical parlance used in the time to indicate that we're talking about pregnancy. it both uses terms like suppression of the courses that were common to other recipes for abortion. paul: to farrell and others, the book's recipe of traditional abortion-inducing roots like pennyroyal and angelica, shows that the practice was as deeply rooted in american history as opposition to it. molly: explicitly, this is for young, unmarried women. this is a problem that they usually have. and it says that they should not long for pretty fellows or any other trash whatsoever. b

when he had met benjamin franklin one day, back when paine still lifted london, franklin had encouraged to the struggling young man to go start a new life in the american colonies. so, in 1774, tom paine did just that. clutching a very brief, a cursory letter of introduction from franklin, who barely knew him, paine booked passage to philadelphia. turning his back on the country, england, that had brought him nothing but despair and disappointment. paine's health deteriorated so much on that long voyage across the ocean that he staggered off the ship in philadelphia half dead it he didn't know a soul. when his health finally returned, fully six weeks later, tom paine said about reinventing himself. so, he added e to the end of his name, pain becomes paine. a signal to himself as much as anyone else that he wanted to start fresh. he began contributing a few column inches to a local newspaper and, within a few months, he was able to use that brief experience, as well as that cursory letter of introduction from ben franklin, fillies favorites on, to get himself a job in philadelphia. editi

there and below society. benjamin franklin, on a visit saying close, you can't have freedom and security without having both. what do you think she meant by that in the context of us china relations? i think was, well, she was trying to express his famous code saying that those who give up freedom for security will end up with neither. i think that's what she was that difficult that she was referring to. what she is trying to say is that in order for taiwan to be free, it needs to be both democratically run and also have a military that can defend it. and that is 100 percent true taiwan in order for taiwan to be free and needs to be independent and needs of the military that can defend itself from china and anyone else. but again, that's high one job, that's not the united states. a job. taiwan. if it wants to be free, needs to be free on its own, it doesn't need to go from being a pseudo protector of china to a pseudo protected or it of the united states. the u. s. as job here is what any good parent does with an adult child, stay out of the way and let that come that child, or in this

benjamin franklin said that which hurts constructs and i'm wondering how your personal experience andt poet, he was a passionate vegan who converted more people to not eating meat than anybody i ever met in my life. and he wanted a lot more from democracy. not a lot less from democracy. and so you know, when speaker pelosi asked me to lead the impeachment team over in the senate, she kind of threw me a lifeline as i see it. because i wasn't eating and i wasn't sleeping and i didn't know whether i would be able to do anything of value ever again in my career. but she basically said we need you. and we need you to help us rally. and i had tommy in my heart, the whole time and i still do until we get through it. >> stephen: thank you so much for being here. >> thank you, stephen. >> stephen: congressman jamie raskin, everybody. we'll be right back with a performance by death cab for cutie. californians have a choice between two initiatives on sports betting. prop 27 generates hundreds of millions every year to permanently fund getting people off the streets a prop 26? not a dime to solve

i like to think of him in a lot of respects to what benjamin franklin was in mid century 1700s philadelphia, forten it is, and a lot of ways, especially to the black community, a lot of that and more. and all the responsibilities he is taking on as well. he's really a steward and pillar of the black philadelphia community. >> i'm glad you mentioned the forten women, because that was, i even into the 19th century where we have charlotte, his granddaughter. a lot of important people who did amazing things. going forward, what else are we open to discover about james forten, the black revolutionary war soldiers? when else are we looking to discover and how will that be brought to life here at the museum? >> going forward, we are working diligently on an upcoming something that we are working, on an exhibition on the forten family. i've been amazing how much has been scaffold in the last few years since i've been here. from discovery cards and from forten's work in a galleries to a virtual programming. that, you know, gives insides of forten's story. there's so much to build upon and i'm very e
