of the continental army formed strong attachments to each other. developednal empathy through camaraderie and friendship shapes their own friendship in the army as well as their interactions with their superiors. in 1779 thatwrote a group of soldiers worked together to draft a letter of grievances to present their commanding officer, with the hope he would forward it to a general. the superior officer refused to pass it along and instead he decided to punish the soldier who delivered the letter. he subjected him to a court-martial and he was sentenced to be hung. in response to this harsh punishment, smith and his comrades formulated a plan to rescue their friend. soldierote that "every fixed his ban on his gun for the purpose of wrestling the brother soldier who was condemned to be hung." he also wrote that he along with his fellow soldiers were determined to rescue the prisoner who was innocent of any crime on behalf of his fellow soldiers. determined to lose our lives to rescue our brother. the willingness of the smith and his comrades to sacrif

he explained to robert morris that the continental troops are all at liberty. terms of enlistment for many men were set to expire. this critical moment, scholars typically credit the personal appeal washington made to his men, as critical to their decision to reenlist. the first appeal made by washington did not rouse a single soldier to recommit. washington tried again imploring his grave fellows to remember that, "your country is at stake, your wives, your houses and all that you hold dear." we have to decide our destiny. historians conclude that it was the sentiments that washington expressed that provoked soldiers to extend their term of service at a crucial point in the war. an account written by a sergeant anthe army provides alternative. as he describes, after washington's second petition, the soldier spoke the force of appeal. however, it was not until one said to another, i will remain, if you will, that men stepped forward and agree to new terms of enlistment. for the soldiers, their commitment was not to washington or the revolutionary cause, but to

like that one people that the continental congress will refer to in the declaration. to stay in great britain. david hume, later on fall, 1775, the scottish enlightenment philosopher. and infidel as he was called here. in fact, john witherspoon of princeton assigned hume to james madison and to his graduating seniors to read for his rhetorical powers. he said, don't pay any attention when he starts talking about religion, but listen to the beauty of his language and absorb that. hume, who was rather conservative in his politics, nevertheless wrote to his friend the bookseller william strong, "a limited government can never long be upheld at a distance." but if the british, if the english, were foolish enough to one chewed -- concluded maybe three quarters, maybe more of the americans were what kind of protestants? reformed protestants. calvinist protestants. so i think hume is acknowledging this very fact from across the waters. another brit, this man general -- and another scot, incidentally, james grant, the following year, that is the late summer of 1776, with the

pride prior to the coming of t trans continental. but at the conclusion of the civil war and the announcement really that the railroad was coming, every community, you know, hope d that they would be the terminal city that they would been chosen for the railroad. >> so it came down to really being between seattle, tacoma and olympia. and so by 1873, by early in 1873, the transcontinental was being built in two directions. so it just didn't have one rail head. but the big decision was congress in the charter for the railroad had dictated that the section from the columbia river to puget sound needed to be completed and the railroad needed to be steam engines to salt water. in july of that year, the tracks had been laid from the columbia about halfway to where tenino is today on i-5. and then it was in july of that year, they all the time the railroad had been entertaining offers from the various communities. cash, land, port facilities, whatever a community, a city could put together to kind of lure the railroad there. in january, in

but you know i think the comparison is probably unfair because the continental only lost ninety percent of its value they were redeemed ten cents on the dollar i think that eventually people buying bitcoin are going to lose more than that even if they make money on paper first i think that the currency is the currency is going to go down more than ninety percent that eventually the phrase not worth the bitcoin is going to be part of the american lexicon so what happens i mean you have investors who want to get in to this and i assume you are doing their bidding for for them to do so right. well i mean look i had a client today that wanted to take half as a half his ira and put it into an ira with crypto currencies i didn't think it was a good idea especially with that amount of money in your retirement account but i'm getting most of my clients is just a small fraction although who knows them and i could have clients that are on their own just putting money into the crypto currency and i've been talking about it for a long time but you know i don't encourage people to buy it because i'm

gordon: they were in the continental congress. adams was in the first continental congress.fferson did not make that one. i think he became ill. he had sent along instructions that were printed as a pamphlet. some review of the contest between britain and the colonies, which established his name in 1774. it was a radical pamphlet. as radical as any pamphlet written up until thomas paine because he takes on the king in his pamphlet. this is to year before the declaration. it anticipates the declaration, because it goes through a series of things that the king and government were doing. that establishes his name, but he did not make the congress because he became ill. he comes to the second continental congress in 1775, where adams is already serving on 20 committees, including the committee on war. he is chair of many of the committees. so that when the declaration of independence, that committee is formed and they are both on it, adams is happy to have this young guy take on the drafting of the declaration, because he is busy doing other things, so little did they realize ho

none of the laws that the continental congress passed had continued under the constitution. that is to say, they were not going to be valid laws once the constitution went into effect. that is in contrast to the treatment of treaties. if you read the suprme cicadas -- very carefully, it says all treaties that would be made and have been made would be the supreme law of the land. congress had to start from scratch. this created a transition issue under the new constitution. george washington was elected president. john jay was secretary of foreign affairs under the control of congress pursuant to the statute passed by congress. george washington read the constitution and thought, i have the executive power. i have interstitial power over foreign affairs and now i am in charge of the government including all the executive officers. that means john jay reports to me and that means support of treasury reports to me. so, john jay continue to report on foreign affairs but he switched his allegiance is so to speak from the continental congress to the president. that all made sense

that's not the case for sea ice, but it is the case for the continental ice sheets. and so the fact that we're already measuring losses of ice from these major continental ice sheets means that they're contributing to sea level rise faster, once again, than climate scientists projected them to. >> can we say how soon it's gonna start causing problems for people who live nearr the seashore? >> therere's a credible body of work now that suggests that t if we continue with business as usual fossil fuel emissions, tthen by thehe end of this cent, we could see as mucuch as two meters, 6 feet of global sea level rise. now, that would bee catastrophic for many coastal regions. fofor the u.s. east cot and gulf coast, island nations around the world, some of which would literally be submerged by that amount of sea level rise. the ipcc makes a far more conservative statement. they state an upper bound of about a meter, about 3 feet. and ''s o once again an e exampe of where the ipcc arguably has been overly conservative. some, as myself, have argued that partly that's just due

you can ta ke continental governments.decision one day and change your mind another day. it happens. it is ok to open doors and say perhaps, if you are interested, one day, we would be happy to have you back. throughout 2017, europe cast uneasy glances to the east. vladimir putin continues to flex russia's muscle in the international arena while maintaining an iron grip at home. vladimir putin just tries to distract the russian people from real problems like inequality and poverty. we have 23 million russian citizens living below the line of poverty, and he is distracting them from this problem with is imperial delusions about making russia great again and all that stuff. you know, unfortunately, we have a very weak position in our country. ? could that be because they are not allowed access to state television, for example ? it access to state television, for example? it is not about that. you have modern media. television is diminishing day by day. in russia today, if you switch on the tv and you want to find opposition

were there any jews on record that were in the continental army as enlisted men? i know there were some that were finance years. s that's all i wanted to ask. >> thank you for your call. . >> first, if cato play was performed at valley forge. the significance of that is that it really harkened to the i ancient rome era when rome was a republic. that was the model of the inspiration for leadership at the time, that public servant who gives of himself without demanding anything in return to try and better their country. of course that's what washington symbolized and the army did as well. because although they were being paid, at least they had been f promised to be paid, for many of them that wasn't what was telling them to serve. it was the higher calls of the nation. as to your other two questions, i'm afraid i can't give you an e answer with 100% certainty. i'll ask you to defer them to our next guest, our vice president, dr. scott stephensons >> he'll be joining us -- >> he'll be joining us shortly and he's a great historian of the revolution. >> let me ask you
