to go into crete at that point is strategic insanity. but because they win, we think, the british are terrible. rob: there is the view that the germans can do no wrong. what we are doing is repeating the same phrases. germans using their own propaganda about various campaigns. james: i think it is really important sometimes to take a step back and go, ok, this is assumed knowledge, but why is it assumed that and is everybody right? sometimes you have to take a step back, look at it and say, that doesn't make any sense. as a historian, what i am always trained to do is question everything. when i read a book and it tells me -- i learned the lesson on the mg-42. if something says x, you have to go, why are you saying that? what is your evidence? show me your proof. as a historian, that is what we are trying to do, to analyze things and get as much proof as we possibly can. rob: you do that extremely well in this book and all your books. we have come to that time in the evening. if there are any questions from the floor that you would like

well we're very aggressive in this space, we're working overtime to make sure that we're being as crete i as possible and we made a number of announcements, not just dr. gally but myself as well for how to start paying for the tests and what our expectations are in terms of health plans and the like. i should note the cdc finally came through with the testing, the pulled testing strategy that's well known in testing fields, blood banks been using for years and years and you pull those samples together and they provided up to four of those samples to be collected. some cases you'll see in excess, we've been waiting for those guidelines to come down and open up the opportunity to see more testing along those lines. it's beneficial in one respect that if everybody comes out negative, everybody goes on their way. it just takes a positive to come in there and everybody has to be retested again but nonetheless this is a strategy that's been utilized in other parts of the world and finally we are able to move forward more aggressively here in the state of california. it relates to the question

identity formation or was it something about pushing the nation to live out the true meaning of the crete. we are thinking about the question of whether or not freed people were pushing the meaning of what this nation was supposed to be and what its founding documents. in the process of doing that, we will start to see how it was that when people talk about emancipation and the moment of reconstruction, that sometimes the question is framed the way that sherman and stanton framed it which is basically is what can the freed people do for the country? and there's a question about what do the freed people want for themselves? and we look at reconstruction. a lot of times, what is it that freed people wanted for themselves -- it gets subsumed by the question of what can they do for the nation? i think we need to keep both of those questions and balance. thinking about the relationship of their freed people to the nation but also and more prominently, what is it that free people wanted for themselves? one of the ways we will get at that is by thinking about these first places where freed peopl

my name is danielle crete, and i'm a senior. and i want to know, what are some of your responsibilities serving as the deputy minority whip and also being a senior minority member of the house of representatives? >> thank you very much for the question. as a member of congress, i sit on the ways and means committee in the house and on the budget committee and on the weigh ways and means committee i sit on the committee of health so i want people to get the best possible healthcare. that's one of my interests. and i tie environment to justice as a health issue. as a whip and part of the whip organization, we try to be aware and be in front of what is coming to the floor of the house and try to get our colleagues to vote the right way. and sometimes it's just what it implies, you have to whip them into line. we don't use the whip, but sometimes you go and have what i call an executive session with them, or you have to just say, now, listen, we need you to vote this way. we need to stick together. and we need to -- this is a good d

this pandemic is not something that government was created or crete a-- created by the people and it is something needed to be solved at state and local level and we can't give people more unemployment than they would make when they would work and we're not going to get our economy back and running. understand that the only way we can pay for the various programs that we're talking about is with revenue generated by businesses and by individuals being employed and that revenue comes in the form of taxes and we have to spend that money responsibly. so, yes, thepeople are hurting. this is a difficult time in our country's history. the federal government has a role in making sure that we get our economy back up and running by helping individuals and we can't spend too much money in the process because at some point in time we have to pay that money back and we don't want to be creating a national security issue here as a result of our debt. >> david in los angeles, independent, go ahead. >> caller: well, i'm more inclined with the gentleman that just got off the phone. that these republ
