let's take a look at another curtis and compare that to the curtis push we looked at before. we're going to look at the famous jennie, which became a standard all the way through. our particular jennie is defendant a true jennie, one of the only airplanes we have in the world war i collection, which is a restoration rather than a replica or reproduction of the thing. the painting on this one, by the way, we try to stay local, this is the first air plan that landed in this big abandoned aircraft that became langley air force base. the jennie as you can see has gone to a better buy plane structure, a little more rigid. the cockpit is enclosed and cuts down on some of the drags. that's one of the things they had to do in the old days to keep the structure rigid. an old joke was you took a pig gone with you and inserted it somewhere inside the wing and let the piggen go. they are actually located up into the wing. you can see them up there. the same principal but again a much more modern variation on the thing. it gets its name from its designation which is jn-4, very, very popul

they've chosen to go to curtis didn't. i am not saying it is perfect but it's the safest place for your community and other communities and many others even people who are muslim feel safer in curtis didn't than they do elsewhere. [applause] it's an important conversation but if we can get to the question asked [inaudible] if i can quickly summarized [inaudible] >> i think you are underscoring something [inaudible] >> i would like to ensure you have a very, very important [inaudible] >> i would like to move onto the next question [inaudible] thank you very much for your comment. every word you said i'm happy to answer but the conversation is bigger then the dispute that you're raising [inaudible] there are many who disagree with you. let's let the others have a conversation. >> when i used to play water pool competitively i never thought that i would play the role of the goalie because it was the hardest position. being the moderator of any discussion is hard especially on issues like this but i want to thank you for raisi

generally speaking i'll let general curtis come up and answer specifically but high water vehicles and vessels have been staged across louisiana in the areas with the most rainfall and flooding over in the last several days. he continues to refine that and especially as we look at potential flooding going north, starting wednesday when that storm system starts moving in that direction but those high water vehicles and vessels not just from the national guard and wildlife and fisheries have 15 teams still. so that's 150 vessels available. almost that many more with the fire marshalls office as well so we have significant assets here but general curtis you want to talk about your station? >> thank you, governor. our focus really up to today has been southeast louisiana. we have numerous vehicles and boats in that area and we've been focused in new orleans based on the they get another rain and capacity of the pump so we have high water vehicles there. what i directed the guard to do this morning is start positioning over in the west boundary of louisiana and on into shreveport so as the

and that strikes a sort of institutional cord within justice curtis. and he just can't stomach that. >> so the reaction to the court's decision was described as explosive. on both sides of this. soon thereafter, the famous lincoln douglas campaign for senate in illinois, almost the entire debates were fashioned, argued over the dread scott case. i will have you tell the story of the rise of the wigs -- i mean, the dissent of the wigs and rise of the national republican party. >> during the course of those debates which is important is that you have lincoln who now is in the position to say something that is new and public discourse on the slavery question that is that slavery is evil. he has the ability to take the moral high ground. that gives him a new standing. and he argues with the douglas on this point, look, just because i don't want a woman to be my slave doesn't mean that i also want her to be my wife. she can be left alone. and so he is beginning to change the discourse a little bit here. suggesting two things. one, that he does believe that

i'm sorry, george curtis, justice curtis's brother. >> a brother of a sitting justice argued before the court. could you do that today or there would be a conflict? >> i think there would be a conflict today, that wouldn't occur. >> so was he paid for his services or did they do it pro bono? >> blair was not paid and neither -- neither is curtis, but here by the time they are approaching the u.s. supreme court these are men who are taking this case because their reputations call for it. it would be -- i think it would be a mistake to characterize them as hired guns. they're very fancy hired guns, which is to say though that there's a great deal of prestige associated with arguing these cases. blair i think never even meets the scott family. he simply takes the case in washington and argues it there. >> i guess to ask the question specifically, was dred scott in the courtroom as his case was argued? >> well, the scots are in st. louis. they are in the formal custody of the court. >> the sheriff. >> the sheriff, and they are hired out and laboringage the ar daughters are in hiding. >> i a

curtis was a democrat until 2006. he once ran for the state legislator as a democrat and shared the local democratic party. under his leadership, the biggest city in the district has thrived and it is considered one of the best run cities in the u.s. still, nearly all of the outside tax money went to his opponent, former state lawmaker chris harrod and very much in line with president trump on immigration and his views on islam. also, tanner age they spent close to a million dollars on ads slamming him as a liberal, but he won this one pretty easily. >> i've got a message to those packs in washington, d.c., and those special interests, this is my town, this is my district, go home, you wasted your money! >> curtis was a virtual shoo-in for the november election. >> jon: looks like a beautiful day there, dan springer, thank you. >> heather: president trump striking a defiant tone and returning to his original stand on charlottesville, the president lashing out at the media and asserting that ault left activists were ju

curtis, we'll let the guest respond. mean, i think what curtis is voicing is a real hing and reality that neither major political party has grappled with, which is that economic real downsides to economic and i don't think either party has effectively responded to that. of that, ence effective response, people are feeling economic pain. you are art of what seeing is resurgence in nativism movements. of racist host: a.c. thompson, tell us if stories or m these accounts from other people. what is the editorial process to and sure they are true accurate. guest: that is a great question. what we do is one, we ask they have any evidence connected to their claim they were a victim, to it.mit a police report, photos of the photos i on their house, f injuries, medical reports, etcetera. we do the typical reporting piece. 've been investigating incidents where people say they were wronged in one way or the 20 years. first thing, you interview the peep and he will see if their up.ry holds ask other people, hey, is this what happen

painted curtis a former democratic and local democratic party chairman as too liberal.s his conservative credentials having cut the size of provo's government while growing its economy. 94% approval rating in the district's biggest city proved the difference. >> i've got a message to those pacs in washington, d.c. and those special interests. this is my town. this is my district. go home. you wasted your money. >> john curtis' win yesterday virtually assures him a job in congress while his democratic opponent will have plenty of money to spend, this district is about as red as they come. republicans outnumber democrats here five to one. bill? >> bill: thank you, dan. dan springner provo tonight. in a moment attack on sanctuary cities across the country. first here is what what some of our fox affiliates are covering around the country. fox 45 in baltimore where the judge denies a new singh sentence for a man convicted of taking part in that deadly sniper attacks that terrorized washington in 2002. lee boyd malvo was serving two life sentences. 10 people were killed duri

we agreed that it must have come from our great uncle, curtis. >> why do you think he would have beenin southwestern art? >> well, uncle curtis was a corporate attorney, as i understand, and he was on the board of the chicago art institute. >> where victor higgins studied. the appraiser concludes the painting is authentic and was likely painted in the 1920s. he knows he's about to stun the art world. you're like in the outskirts of new york. you're not in manhattan. you're not in the southwest. this is not your expertise. >> for the most part, we do estates. whenever somebody passes away, we go and take everything out that we can sell. we often find treasures in there, but not like this. it had everything going for it. >> and when he shares his findings with art experts, he learns there's even more reason to love this painting. it turns out that ruth is a rather special lady. that's because after the 1920s, higgins switched his focus from painting human figures to landscapes. >> higgins quit doing paintings with figures. quite frankly, the pieces that are going to demand the most valu

curtis, it doesn't work. the fact is we're all on overdrive. we've been on overdrive since election day. this friday night stuff is old-fashioned. >> this is like that friday night news dump. i mean, we heard earlier this week, the president hinted that he was going to pardon sheriff arpaio. we didn't know when. some thought it would be the day after his speech there in phoenix. or right before the sentencing. and it came this friday night it so happened. earlier in the waik week, the white house was drafting language about this pardon for the sheriff. it is an interesting time to see all of this information dropped. we saw that tweet that the president september out a couple weeks ago talking about banning transgender folks from the military and even military leaders were like, what's going on? they didn't have any understanding or direction and how this would go. the white house was mum on how this would be implemented. now here we are a couple weeks later, friday night. here's some more guidance on it. it really is -- this fits into what the

he who is named one of washington's 50 mers influential journalists by washington magazine and curtis was a national and foreign correspondent for the globe. he now teaches journalism at the university of mississippi. he covered eight presidential campaigns. seven for the globe and served as a white house correspondent. they have so much knowledge among and between them. please join me to welcome the three of them. thank you so much. [ applause ] >> i feel like a school marm with his two pupils over here. it is a good thing classes are over. they were actually nervous in advance about the academic historian going for blood here. but real this is such a wonderful book that fills in a story that many of us, i suspect, think we already know. how much of you remember the 1960 campaign? quite a few hands going up. well, i can tell you that you don't know anything about it. and you'll learn so much from reading this book. as i did. it is a absolutely fascinating study. i have had the advantage of reading the book and most of you, i assume, have not. so i thought i would instead of grilling

and curtis and i were part of the last generation that did this. we had little groups of political writers. my favorite was called political writers for a democratic society. there are seven or eight of us. ahead of national campaigns we would have dinner with somebody who was figuring in the news and either likely to run or already running. our dinners would be entirely off the record, no direct quotation or attribution of any kind allowed. and the purpose of these meetings was to help us size each other up. we would intentionally ask really rude questions. i remember one colleague of mind no longer with us sadly, jack german, used to say the idea is just to stick your thumb in the guy's eye just to see how he sort of reacts. it's not personal. it was just a curiosity. and we all benefited greatly. we felt we understood more about the people we were writing about. in today's atmosphere, all of that would be impossible. everything is on the record, but nothing is candid. >> can i just make a personal bill wells story. when i was covering the 1990 e

general curtis do you want to talk about your statement? >> yes sir. thank you governor. our focus up until today has been southwest louisiana. we had numerous high water vehicles and votes in that area, i can get those numbers.for you we've also been focused in new rain inundation and capacity of pumps. we have high water vehicles in stage there. i directed the guard this morning to start positioning over the west boundary of louisiana up through alexandria and into shreveport. as the storm moves there we will have high water vehicles and people with boats in position ready to respond to the local leadership. >> [indiscernible] >> we have not. not that i am aware of at this point. we had soldiers with trucks and boats in calcasieu that were waiting for leadership in that area to move forward and started back to a she in spirit but i am not aware at this point. . >> [indiscernible] will there be supplementing of national guard troops? >> i've been in contact over the they have notays, asked for specific assets because we have to keep them in louisiana in order to respond.

how important, curtis, do you think that was? >> no doubt at all particularly the 56 convention, because even though he lost, he came out of it as this attractive young guy that people sat up and noticed for the first time. and that was clearly the beginning because shortly thereafter there was a meeting down at the old man's place in palm beach. no. i'm sorry. it was at cape kod. it was thanksgiving. and pap pa joe and jack got together one-on-one and decided he would run. and announced to the family that he was going to run thing formally. but there were a number of things that were already going on. there's one funny incident that for all the reasons i've worked for "boston globe" i've never heard about this great koo it was urged upon him, look, jack, if you really want to be a player, you've got to get control of your own state party, which was controlled by john mccorporalic. >> right. >> so they had a knock down, drag them out, near brawl at the old hotel brad ford in which kennedy's people seized control of the party and

very well her the troops living by these burn pads lieutenant colonel curtis in two thousand and six had written a memo saying the pollution there was dangerous that it would be causing health hazards to live and work near the pits. it was completely buried it's calm no one no one took it seriously deborah they never addressed his issues soldiers on the ground had no idea about colonel curtis's findings and his concern us was never shared with anybody remember which is completely buried. they knew about this in the continue to free can do it. even then would you do that we'll willingly accept. being shot. taken prisoner. big naiveness signed up to be poisoned by room people. there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government but there was any connection between burn pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from clearly the cat was out of the bag the two thousand and six memo had basically said that the military was aware that the pollution levels around the pits were at an unsafe unhealthy level now they deal with the after them and always told wished attempted

what about the broader picture outside of curtis stand? the rest of iraq? what do we need to do to enable people to live a reasonable life? i don't speak of reinstating trust since trust was lacking before isis came and is not out of reach in the near future. it is more realistic to speak of security, stability, protection. the steps we need to take her many in iraq and some of the -- first, justice and accountability. we need the international community to step up and say, never again that will allow the perpetrators to have justice. they should answer the call to the united nations members and allow an investigation of isis crying. the cared she was the first to recognize the crimes against christians and others is genocide. we commend the government of the united states and others for doing the same. the question is, whether we allow the recognition of genocide to be the only stop for the first step towards justice. we also need to enhance security, engage in stabilization and reconstruction. we need the liberated areas to be contaminated of mind and une

he did not get specific, but if you go back to her papers that leaves the curtis published, -- lisa curtis published, you see some of the options that were alluded to last night. possibly issuing or continuing airstrikes, for example, in other parts of pakistan that have not traditionally been hit by airstrikes. for example, going after the test having airstrikes in this area, an area that is really only had one airstrike b by the united states, which was killing me former head of the taliban, the afghan taliban. so there are some differences when it comes to pakistan, potential differences, but more or less, this is the same argument we have heard time and again. there really is not advocacy for a political settlement. one way to possibly get to a solution that did d not involve military force. given the fact if you look at this history, this surge of troops has not yielded the results that was anticipated happened ine s surge 2010. in fact, the taliban is stronger today than back then. amy: how much of last i do think was motivated by charlottesville? while he never r talked about charlo

they are happy to tip their hat to richard curtis and judd apatow, who produced the film.en they are done well. we are often a bit down on them as a genre, but when done well they are incredibly charming. i am pleased that the writers are just celebrating how good romantic comedies can be. perhaps why it's doing well! if you want to sit on the sofa instead, what's your recommendation? free fire, from ben wheatley, co—written with his regular partner. he works across different genres, comedy and crime and dystopian sci—fi, but actually in all of his movies, there is this great feeling that things are about to go pear shaped. that actually things are about to kick off, and literally in this film, because it is about a meeting in the ‘70s in this disused warehouse in boston, that goes wrong. it's a meeting between gangsters and arms dealers, and it is very tense and nerve—wracking and then the free fire of the title kicks in. it's notjust a shoot ‘em up, though. there are great actors in this. great actors — brie larson, cillian murphy. the sleeziest gun runner you've seen —
