thought a dozen miles to the south of chattanooga. in the valley of chickamauga creek on september 18, 1863. the union army is defeated in that battle but while they are defeated they are able to with withdraw into chattanooga where they fortify themselves within a one square mile area by the tennessee river and await the arrival of reinforcements. the confederates attempted to lay siege to the union army in chattanooga from positions along missionary ridge and east of the town, from across the valley to lookout mountain and onto the mountain itself. the final battle in the campaign for chattanooga and the final battle of those spot in november of 1863 is that that unfolds along missionary ridge. that sharply defined ridgeline to the east of chattanooga, to the east of where we are located right now. along which the confederates had had their main position october, november, and december. not until 48 hours before the fighting on the rigid self on november the 25th, the confederates attempt to build fortifications along the actual res

then you are in a place like chattanooga, you can write your own story and i think that is really coolthat's where you see people like albuquerque and these others, kansas city, these popping up around the country where there are more women and diverse founders because there is an openness to their background and they are not dismissed so you don't have the technical degree or the fancy degree likely. so, that bias to towards people you don't necessarily have that in other parts of the country help put some life into her economy because this is a poor area. there is another one who was from detroit and called herself the anti-mark zucker with no technical program and says in detroit there's all this activity around entrepreneurs because the engineers that are now without jobs and so they are trying to get some talent to train people and get them to work in these jobs. >> are you seeing those that don't have the typical background? >> there is a lot of reasons for that but you are seeing women that are not technical starting these companies and one of the reasons for that she talked to

wherever we were, whether it was in chattanooga, tennessee, or pittsburgh or seattle or los angeles orhese different places, there seemed to be this mandate for women to lift each other up. i remember specifically when we went to the gray copper conference, one of the places we went early on, right actually when we old the book proposal, we went the houston. and we spent a few days at the grace hopper celebration of women in computing which is the largest gathering of female technologists in the world. so for all these women who are used to be, you know, like the only one in the room, suddenly they're there with -- this past year i think there were 15,000 women from all over the world together. and the year we were there, i mean, every program was about how to help each other. it literally was how do we get this done, whether it's mentoring, finding champions, helping people find internships. it was amazing. one of the reasons why we went was we were interested in also finding some college students, because we knew we wanted to do a chapter around college women and what was happening.

we live in a small town -- a small community north of chattanooga.he got a good high school education. he got a good high school education, but he could not find a job. this is a very depleted job opportunity area. so, he signed up with a job corps. some new jeans, t-shirts, and work roots, which is what they said to bring. he went to the job corps place up somewhere in kentucky. was --son that he everything of his was stolen. bywas pulled out of his bed black boys and beaten. , he called his mama and said, i've got to get out of here. these black boys are trying to kick -- post: cutting it off there. debbie from ohio, you're on. >> the german from georgetown is talking about -- economy. the gentleman from georgetown is talking about -- economy. they are talking about it, they are back after it again. we fought it in 1993, all of the language he used was not about discrimination, it was about education reform and republicans and democrats are all the same when it comes to education reform. it is a again trying to get --dents hoped up early on hooked

wherever we were, whether it was in chattanooga, tennessee, or pittsburgh, or seattle, or los angelesthere seemed to be this mandate for women to lift each other up. i remember when we went to the grace hopper conference, we went early on in our reporting, when he sold the book proposal, we went to houston and we spent a few days at the grace hopper celebration of women and computer, which is the largest gathering of female technologists in the world. so all these woman who are used to being the only one in the room they're there with 15,000 women from all over the world. ... it was one of the first time that researchers have actually highlighted them. it's not just enough that they press and interest the big issue is persisting through that. we went to grays harbor because it is one of the schools that actually pays for freshman women to go to grays harbor. and they do that. you can see there is other women like them. they actually get role models that are relatable to them. these young women were craving opportunity they are not necessarily relatable. if you like it's so far away. t

the entire country and they do have an original one, which i did go and see down in chickamauga, chattanooga battlefield. i did take some pictures to get the finer details of the chains on the hooks, so this forge is a very, very accurate. now, i do not want to ruin my pigtail, so i have to cool it off in water to harden it. ok? you can see this as black and this is still orange. this will be very easy now to bend. i put it over the war and of the annville -- over the horn of the anvil. straightened it out. and there is my curve. now cut this off here and i will make the top and, called the teardrop. ok. >> ready to heat it up again, boss? john baronich: yep, heat it back up. i use a tool called a cut off hardy, which is a chisel with a square shank on it. just put that back on the and vil.he annville -- annville i will take the metal and i will be hitting this and then i will -- just put that back on the anvil. i will take the metal and i will be hitting this and then i will break it off. a little more. now the hooks that i am making called the tear drop hook was a hook that soldiers would

school officials often do not even know who's driving as the principal explained to the father in chattanooga you know, if someone were to kill the bus driver on the way into the school and hijack the bus, we'd put the kids on because we wouldn't know any difference. >> a convicted sex offender was out on parole. on the bus, a list of students an their home addresses. he even tried unsuccessfully to ck >> it could have been bad. >> he was arrested. he pleaded guilty to statutory rape and was sentenced to probation leaving this parent demanding more be done. >> at what point do you say as a society we need a higher standard. >> there was one piece of disturbing video. the boy on the bicycle did survive. the driver stayeded on the job after the crash. now some in congress have proposed to better regulation school bus drivers and those bills all died in committee in recent years. the industry says school buses are still the safest way to transport the children to school. >> how did you do the reporting. >> we had to go state by state and go state by start. meaghan tui put in hours and hours. the

i mean they produce in chattanooga one hundred fifty thousand of the pacific was being produced there there is two thousand workers there they're going to produce the new big s.u.v.s the largest s.u.v. that has ever had a cold and doubtless and where else are they going to solve that but here you got it well but hopefully they'll sell some in japan too but there are even with the with the b.m.w. by the way they export of all these four hundred fifty thousand cars they produce in south carolina they export seventy percent of those to one hundred forty countries so before you start getting all down on the very bad german auto experts you might think about how it's going to impact the u.s. and secondly is the deal wouldn't be somebody negotiation wouldn't be with germany it's the euro zone remember all together now so it would be a good agreement with the eurozone not just with germany right it's with the super state as some say now where does this leave us with nafta candidate trying to call that the worst trade deal ever. as he does. as late as april he said he was psyched to scrap it

but i have two southern parents my mom is from chattanooga, tennessee, and my dad from arkansas, so food i grew up eating while i was researching that book on history of soul food that african-americans who have cooked for our presidents started popping up in my research so i said once i finish that book, if i could find enough stories to cobble together a story about presidentialships i'm going to do and fortunately i was able to do that and write this book the president's kitchen cabinet. so i'm a lawyer by training. and didn't -- this is not disparage any attorney in the audience but it wasn't for me. and i was going to open up a soul food restaurant in denver and then a loyal classmate had of mine from georgetown, law school called me up out of the blue and said adrian i'm working on this initiative. and in the white house, do you have any friends who might be interested working on this mission. so i'm sitting in any office in denver and she's back in d.c. so tell me a little bit more about initiative that was called initiative for one america that was outgrowth of president clinton

host: lynn is joining us from chattanooga, tennessee. caller: good morning. i went to a vocational school. that is long gone. i'm 74 years old. people that i went to school with, we went and took basic math and english then we had three hours of shop. the people i graduated with did real well. there are several of them that own their own companies afterwards. the ones that wanted to go to college after that did. we have a retired principal in our group. i don't understand it. we do have vocational schools but they pick up the children from high school and take them to the vocational school. that is time wasted. they spend a couple of hours on a bus everyday, which is added expense to our school system. i don't understand why they don't do that. when i went to school, we didn't have computers. we need good computer program and these apprenticeship programs. when they came out, they were ready to get their certification. to get licensed. i don't understand why they don't put that back. i have a friend that owns a air-conditioning company and he cannot find empl

the things that is , compelling is that for this new generation of entrepreneurs, if you are in chattanoogaand you are interested , in building an app you don't , have a good view into the silicon valley ecosystem. what sort of questions you might be asked. how you should be thinking about market size or competition? the last 20 minutes of each episode gives people a view into what it is like to engage with a venture capital firm. because we made investments in more than a dozen companies over the course of 10 episodes, and it gives people an opportunity to be a fly on the wall and watching happy with those conversations look like. where did we asked for questions, for more information? where were we ok with the risk? so foreign entrepreneur anywhere in the country who is thinking about wanting to raise capital and to realize the huge opportunity, it is going to give them a dry run as to what that is going to look like. emily: that was lightspeed venture partner jeremy lou. meantime in washington, u.s. attorney general jeff sessions testified before the senate intelligence panel about the f

subordinate proposes an idea, like when grant accepts thomas's plan for the cracker line to believe chattanooga. at the end of the day when a decision had to be made, they sought no consensus to share the responsibility. they made their decisions themselves and they were both completely prepared to accept the consequences. both have -- i guess it must be in born -- to adapt to delays,ed events, to and to constantly reassess a situation as it appeared before them rather than as they wanted it to be. grant seem to be able to do this almost from the outset. lee came to it a little more slowly. of the 70's, he simply waited for things to happen and wondered why they didn't. by the close of the week, he was learning and adapting quickly. grant maintained excellent control of his units and developed a very outstanding staff, many of whom were specialists. and vested with authority to act in his stead, as you have heard before. the battlefield could be stretch out over miles. there's no way and army commander can see all of it let alone be giving direct orders. grant would invest his staff officers wi

in chattanooga and a number of those places. they had access to information with a lot of these tools. in the rate of the technology has meant that we have a much more bargaining aware technology exists. the reason i think it still matters if you look in 2014. they came out with a study that said 47 percent of u.s. jobs were at high risk of machine operation. this was the rise of the robots. and thinking about the reality that there was some e jobs that were at risk. in january of this year they came out with a follow-on study where they looked a little bit more granule level. wait a minute. let's look at a hundred occupations. let's look at what comprises of the occupations. if we divvy up occupations by task and then we attempt to match that with what they can currently do and what we reject them to do down the road. we actually find that based on the 5% of jobs which is still a nontrivial number they have massive implications for all sources. and the question of basic income. and they are commonly there. it's not 47 percent.

host: let me go to micah in chattanooga, tennessee, a democrat. you are on the air. good morning to you. caller: good morning. how are you, greta? host: i am doing fine to what do you think about this discussion about voting systems, and what should be done? caller: i think it is amazing that we as a people are divided and parted. i think the election day problems and systems -- i think thes important enough, like fourth of july, christmas, election day is important enough to take a day off and make it a national holiday so everyone can vote, dissipate, get it counted, get it done without going to work -- if it is not that important, the holidays are more important than the constitution and the bottom line of a country, i think it needs to be debated and talked about. i think it should be a national holiday where everyone can to space, count the votes, and we can take this one day to take the afternoon and stop all this miscounting,this everything. make it a national holiday, and everybody participate. host: all right, mica with that idea. tiny in brookshire, texas,

the next one was sent in by michael hoffman in chattanooga.with his dad and i think there may have been an autocorrect issue. watch this. "i hate michael. can you talk?" and then it said, sorry, that's supposed to say "hey, michael, can you talk?" yeah, i hate -- [ laughter and applause ] i hate michael. >> steve: can you talk? >> jimmy: can you talk? >> steve: wait, this is michael. >> jimmy: happy father's day, dad. [ light laughter ] next one was sent in by tracy schott, in berthoud, colorado. she was going through her dvr listings and saw a description for our show, "the tonight show." let's see what it says. "a calculating sociopath kidnaps a couple's young daughter just for the pleasure that power and manipulation bring him, and learn what a a parent will do to save his child." i remember that episode. >> steve: yeah. that was a tough time. >> jimmy: that was a dark one. >> steve: that's why you grew the 'stache. >> jimmy: that was a dark time, man. [ laughter ] yeah, that was a weird episode. the next was sent in by molly larson in madi

james is in chattanooga, tennessee, on our democrats line. thanks for waiting. go ahead. caller: no problem. my point is that i feel like if trump had micromanaged this whole thing, then instead of these combat, you know, commandos swooping in to try to get these fight and killing them, they might have gave them some tools to actually stun these people and get their diaries, as well as, you know, take control of the mid-level isis fighters that have connections with baghdad and things like that. so i don't feel like the micromanaging was a bad thing. i think he's delegating too much. if you remember george bush, what he did was he kept the pentagon out of everything, and then hand selected a few that had no business in this whole thing. this guy was writing a novel with some woman and having an affair with the person. i'm not going to mention the guy, but he was a famous general. but in this case, we need to get back to the micromanaging of the war if we're going to do it right. thank you. host: all right. to michigan, we hear from terence on the independent line. what ar

they listen to proposals of ideas, like when grant except thomas' plan for the cracker line in chattanoogaat the end of the day when the decision has to be made, assad no consensus to share the responsibility. they made their decisions themselves and were both completely prepared to accept the consequences. must -- it must be inborn ability to adapt to unexpected delays and constantly reassess the situation as it appeared before them rather than as they wanted to be. grant seemed to be able to do this almost from the outset. lee came to it a little more slowly, like in the opening of the seven days when he waited for things to happen and then wondered why they did not. by the close of the week he was learning and adapting quickly. grant maintained excellent control of his units and developed a very outstanding staff, many who were specialists , invested with authority to act in his stead. a civil war army on the battlefield can be stretched out over miles. there was no way in army commander can be where he can see all of it, let alone begin direct orders. and making sure they are carried o

thetechnological layer . 1776 down the street from dc, you're seeing in places like lexington kentucky and chattanooga a number of denver colorado places, seeing really the access to information and the democratization of a lot of these tools has really not to mention the application layer of these technologies has meant we'vegot sort of much more broadening of where technology fits . but for the reason that i think it still matters, if you look at from 2014, oxford came out with a study that said 47 percent of us jobs were at high risk of losing to automation and this was sort of the rise of the robots in the book and thinking about the reality that there was so many jobs that were at risk. in january of this year, the global industry came out with a follow-up where they looked at a little more granular level and said wait a minute. let's look at 800 occupations. let's look at what comprises occupations because all our jobs consist of many tasks and if you divvy up occupation by tax task then we attempt to match tasks with basically what machines can currently do and we what we project them to be abl

grant was momentous victory on expert in chattanooga in 62 and 63, arrived in virginia in march as joe told you to take over command of all united states forces and travel with the armies at potomac. he would try to do what no union general had been able to do in three years of desperate fighting. he wanted to destroy the army of northern virginia. for his part, he welcome the chance to confront grants and culminating battle while the confederate army still strong. in fact, the two armies needed is for the reasons to fight as soon as possible that spring. lee and his staff had struggled throughout the long winter to feed an army of their soldiers, had watched desertion and demoralization demoted the rakes and by spring, however, most of the men had left their units to visit home had returned and lee commanded a veteran army of over 65000 men. the army of northern virginia had rally lost over the preceding three years and both officers and soldiers had persuaded themselves that even the defeat at gettysburg have any temporary setback. the confederate command structure was stable, experi
