and there are parts of calhoun that they certainly key into but they misread calhoun, because calhoun always viewed himself as allies with progress, all americans thought progress was the main force, calhoun did not see himself as resisting progress. the argument was slavery in the south fit into the demand of progress in the modern world and only after the defeat of the confederacy and the end of slavery that people then begin reading back into calhoun, reactionary defense of feudal discovery system that is not quite accurate. >> for what that is worth, those who are listening have ever read the declaration of independence, many seceding states wrote in 1860-61 when they left the union as they left the union on the election of abraham lincoln, the immediate proximate cause of secession, jefferson davis was a president before abraham lincoln, that's how quickly secession came about but if you read those they are all very very clear they stand on the side of progress so i will pick up with mister randy love who asks digging even deeper, calhoun's position is a continuation the men of o

i am john calhoun.. only up a of blocks away from calhoun street. and we put in for this book, there was a lot of statutes governing over that street and there is no longer anything there so it's definitely be a man is been in the news. he's coming writing for over hundred 50 years . the focus of his foresail and i number of you have already purchased and thank you so much for imparted and think of her holding up bob. it's a fantastic and it's coming to us from baylor university today in the midst of a very intense storm and record-settin winter storm. any and be good people of the postal service have gone to great lengths to find these books and we and they made their way back to austin now. so you get a kind of book. and again i will put that in the chat. all right, just so you know that there is a feature called the q&a and if you hold out there missing participants in the polls in the and things like that. if youar q&a, you can ask questions and the professor can see that. and they can answer towards the end here so thank you for using that. all

have this great relationship because calhoun handpicks him to be the platoon scout and that calhoun says pretty much blatantly. he's not going into combat without lloyd macarthur so before the mission before they actually get on the plans to jump on a creditor calhoun goes down to the stockade and gets gets mccarter out because mccarter had a habit of leaving the unit when they were in garrison, so when they weren't in combat, and they were waiting for their next mission lloyd lloyd mccarter would disappear and there was always rumors that you know, where he where was he and the rumor was before corregidor. he was in new guinea fighting alongside some australian units, you know, he had this fearsome reputation of being this really reckless and he would draw anyone who challenged them. but what makes it macarthur interesting is he's sort of that that classic character you see in fiction that you know can't be in peace that he he's always out in combat. he's always has this reckless mentality, but but with such an essential part of the unit, he was their eyes and ears that the guy str

he and calhoun has this great relationship because calhoun handpick some to be scout. and calhoun says pretty much politely he is not going into combat without floyd mick carter, before they get on the plane, calhoun goes down to the stockade and gets carter out. mcarthur had a habit of leaving the unit. when they weren't in combat, they were waiting for the next mission. lloyd would disappear. there is always rumors where we'll see, and the rumor was before corregidor, he was in new guinea fighting alongside australians, he had this fearsome reputation of being this reckless and liberal anyone who challenged him. would make some adjusting, is he's sort of that classic you see infection. he's always out in comment. always says this reckless mentality. but such in the central part of the unit. his eyes, ears, the guys trust him. when you read the book, you will find that when they needed help the most, at one point in the book there is a bonsai charge and mcarthur is the one that goes out and puts themself on play and wants this charge. mcarthur is the character that's

another daughter of texas i'm deeply connected to the history of juneteenth my grandfather, william calhoun paris, who helped raise me, was born in galveston texas, just 10 years after general granger announced that enslaved africans were free fled brutal, barbaric institution of slavery my ancestors, my great grandmother, were enslaved around texas. so many in the african-american community, we celebrated juneteenth as our liberation day. to us it celebrates the day that enslaved africans were recognized as free men, women, and children. yet it didn't stop. the persistence of racial disparities in housing income, education, the wealth gap and other areas of injustice as african-americans really are experiencing today. the direct result of the racism embedded in our institutions from our founding so it's not purely symbolic to make juneteenth a holiday. it's an important step toward the country reckoning with the truth of its legacy of slavery in the past as manifested today. let me just -- may i have another 30 seconds. it's manifested in the racial injustices which all of us must work tog

calhoun of south carolina used it to preserve slavery. in 1922, an anti-lynching bill was defeated by a filibuster led by southern democrats. in 1957, senator strom thurmond took to the floor to filibuster the civil rights act. speaking for a record 24 hours and 18 minutes. in 1864 the longest filibuster in senate history, 60 days. almost derailed the civil landmark civil rights act. 1963, jesse helms finally blocked his filibuster trying to block the bill declaring martin luther king day a federal holiday. that, ladies and gentlemen, is the filibuster. is it the side of history that you want to be on? is it really worth more than voting rights for millions of americans? let's remember what the former president barack obama said about that at the funeral of john lewis when he called the filibuster a jim crow relic. >> and if all this takes eliminating the filibuster, another jim crow relic, in order to secure the god-given rights of every american, then that's what we should do. >> i want you to remember what valerie jarrett told me just

i was talking to dave calhoun yesterday of boeing. very much back on airplanes. another person that i expect will be echoing that sentiment is the ceo of southwest, announcing that he is going to step down next year. he's been running southwest for more than 17 years. a lot of european carriers see him as the model, really. the vp of corporate services set to replace him. for more on this transition, brooke sutherland joining us now. was this expected? what does it mean? brooke: i don't think it was expected, but this is going to be a very orderly transition. gary kelly is going to step down next february, so was got a few more months of him in the top job, and then he is planning to remain executive chairman through at least 2026. that is ample time for wall street to get comfortable with this transition. i think this should also be a lot less jarring than if the announcement was made that time -- was made this time last year. if you look particularly in the domestic leisure spots, that has really come roaring back much faster than a

the united states and government, it is something that started in the 1840s informally with senator calhoun who used to protect slavery. just trying to understand the history around this would help but if reality is for republicans this is no longer about compromised and democrats really need to step up. they need to take their case to the american people. they need to play hardball. >> emily? >> i mean i think that history of the filibuster is important, history that is being laid out. the filibuster is a friend to rule by the minority and i don't mean, you know minorities in united states as people. the minority political party because it means that the senate can't see unless they have the super majority and you know the filibuster was not in the constitution, it is also true that at the time the constitution was written, the senate had a different composition. now we have a senate that's heavily tilted towards small states and their power and differential between a big state represented by two senators and a small state in terms of what it means for how much powering one's own votes per

for dave calhoun and bowing this is another question of what is going on between boeing and the faa andp when it comes to the inspection and certification of aircraft. dave did say earlier this year that they did not expect this triple 7 x to be certified until late 2023. so this is not new guidance from the company but as a glimpse into the relationship between boeing and the faa and in a statement today or yesterday boeing said it remains fully focused on safety as our highest priority throughout 777 x development as we subject the plane to a comprehensive test program to demonstrate its safety and reliability we're working through a rigorous development process to ensure we made all applicable standards. boeing has 320 triple 7 x's that have been ordered. it is hard to say that this is good news from boeing, from a customer standpoint. but one thing that you should keep in mind, melissa, is that these planes, basically replacing the 747, they're not in demand right now by airlines like emirates. it is not like the airlines are saying we need to fly people long distances that market i

right now, let's put up the shares at the moment and look at boeing shares down about 2% ceo dave calhounhe recovery is robust , but he sees supply constraints, and is "frustrated as anyone" with the stability of the aircraft maker's monthly delivery rate. he is speaking right now the bernstein strategic decisions conference and he also said at this conference, the u.s. and china need to restore relationships on trade, and he also said, "we've got lots of time for the next new plane, won't be all that long before an announcement." well guess what? a lesser known name in aerospace has already beaten boeing to the punch when it comes to plane announcements. boom supersonic announcing today it has just struck a $3 billion deal with united airlines. ual is going to buy 15 of boom 's supersonic overture jets with the option to purchase 35 more in the future. okay, how cool is that thing on your screen? well nearly 20 years ago supersonic air travel came to a grinding halt after the concord 's final flight back in 2003 but now boom is flying ahead with promises to transform , let's say disrupt

greg smith, i think he was a very operational cfo waiting for calhoun to be able to say look, we've had some problems with unions, had some problems with something. do you continually miss? i know they can say hey, the faa doesn't like us because of the max. the faa wasn't like a touchy-feely organization. if the plane is ready, it's ready. i think anyone who doesn't think that has got their eyes closed f gary kelly did say momentarily issues weren't perfect there what bothers me is the lack of recognition by senior -- by ceo saying listen, we've got a lot of problems. i want to hear we had a lot of problems, and we are going to get out of chicago, and we are going to go to the factory floor. i'm going to go to the factory floor until this is ready. i'm not seeing that. maybe he is, but i am not seeing the kind of crisis management that i would be used to. so when i see 777 have a problem but the time line is the same, i want to know why they didn't tell us, look, why do i have to learn from the faa why don't i learn from the company that, look, we've got some issues. and the answer is

now let's be clear here, dave calhoun, the ceo of boeing, has said that they do not expect that this this is not going to change the company's immediate guidance this has been slipping they said, yeah, we expect deliveries by the end of 2021. boeing issuing a statement regarding this letter from the faa saying boeing remains fully focused on safety as our highest priority throughout 777x development. as we subject the plane to a comprehensive test program, we are working through a rigorous development process to ensure we meet all applicable requirements the 777x, which is essentially replacing the 747 which has been phased out, it's gone, it's going to be the largest of its commercial aircraft, they have 320 orders now we should point out that when you talk with the airlines that have ordered this or have made commitments to order this plane, airlines like emirates, they're not in the market for long haul aircraft like this simply because the international markets have collapsed so boeing to an extent is not going to feel a big impact right away by not being able to deliver this air

no 787s are delivering at this moment >> have you told this to dave calhoun and to stand diehl at boeingal but i've been very open with them that this is not the boeing we know they have to meet their promises boeing has let down a lot of their customers. i think they're working very hard, putting a lot of resources on getting back on track, but it's been a very, very difficult last two plus years with boeing. >> steven, you've seen a number of airlines that are starting up, whether it's avelo, whether it's breeze. david neilman's new startup. right now if you've got capital, there's access to aircraft how many startup airlines do you expect to last let's say five years from now >> i think we'll see as many as 50 to 70 airlines startup on a global scale with jet aircraft seating over 100 passengers. right now you have three ingredients that are helping start new airlines access to low cost capital, there's access to aircraft, both used and new at relatively favorable pricing and there's a lot of pilots and flight attendants and engineers so there is a labor supply that's available becaus

i have to call my grandfather, william calhoun parish and born in galveston. plaque texans began celebrating juneteenth following this year after year after year for the last 150 years plus. communities have created their own traditions and to are commemorate this day. it is not just a cultural celebration but a true testament to the democratic ideals of liberty and equality. we need to pass juneteenth national independence act establishing juneteenth as a federal holiday to cement the date of this on freedom. and thank you again for introducing this legislation and i'm a proud co-sponsor of it. the lags time congress enacted a federal holiday it was dr. king's birthday and took nearly 20 years, 20 years for it to pass. we cannot let this i'd will. juneteenth compels us to confront a chapter born in the middle passage and manifested today through systemic racism. our past has led to inequities and education, income, for african-americans. we use juneteenth to reflect about the dehouston isation and honor their legacy. the labor stolen from african-americans. t
