mary had spent very little time in washington, d.c. she was there for a few weeks when abraham lincoln was elected to a seat in the u.s. house. but she decided pretty quickly that d.c. was no place for a woman with two young boys. so then she to stay with family. there a british correspondent named william russell who wrote about his with mary and also with marina. so i'm going to show you what he wrote about mary. now. then we'll contrast that with here in a bit. they she is of middle height and age a plump with this natural to her years. her features are plain her manners and appearance homely. stiffened, however, by the consciousness that her position requires her to be something more than mrs. lincoln, the wife of the lawyer. she struck me as being desirous of making herself agreeable. so william russell picks up on the some of the insecurity that has. he gets a that she's not quite at a place washington, d.c. and both of the lincoln were regarded as uncivilized westerners even though they they're from illinois that's considered th

i lived in d.c. i've lived all these different places because i was doing different work at the time. host: so, what kind of work were you doing in d.c. in 2017? guest: well, i was working for another nonprofit here, but i was doing communications work then. i thought communications work was close enough to storytelling that it would be perfect, a perfect way for me to enter back into my passion. but communications work is beautiful work and there are people out there who do it extremely well, but my passion was really around telling stories, and i still wasn't doing that in 2016. host: you didn't seem very happy. guest: yeah. did you hear that my voice just then? host: in the written word. guest: yeah. i think that in 2016, 2017, i was starting to feel off purpose. i had been doing all this work, as i said earlier, about girl equity, girl empowerment. and i felt like we were doing some amazing things to move that forward. there's all these people all over the world that have changed the conversation

they sent their money to d.c. to be spend responsibly and wisely.oge has exposed, it wasn't. they are overdue for a refund. and so if you think about incentivizing the taxpayer in the long term, we have to get them onboard x. what better way to tackle the debt long term than to deputize 100 million americans to report waste, fraud and abuse that they are seeing from the federal government and then report it to doge? why? because the more that doge saves, maria, the bigger the doge dividend check will be. economics, as you know, show me the incentive, and i show you the outcome. we are giving every american the incentive to call out waste, fraud and abuse, and the outcome is less waste, fraud and abuse, a smaller budge, a narrower deficit and a much more manageable national debt picture. maria: yeah, but we saw stimulus checks go out during covid or after the pandemic, and what happened? it caused inflation. we saw the consumer price index go to 40-year highs. so how worried are you that sending money out to taxpayers is going to trigger inflation on

d.c. is just that kind of town. it never shuts off.he information is churning 24 hours. >> and with a grief stricken nation fully supporting them after 9/11, the bush administration was headed towards war in iraq. and to further their case, they planted intelligence with new york times reporter judith miller, who, along with matthew cooper from time magazine, was among the white house press corps heavy hitters. scooter libby met with miller, and september 2002, judith miller and writes an article in the new york times. it alleges that the iraqi government has, quote, sought to buy thousands of specially designed aluminum tubes, which american officials believe were intended as components of centrifuges to enrich uranium. now, we later find out scooter libby, who is vice president cheney's chief of staff, told this to judith miller, right? >> yeah. so you're you're at a point where it's a total echo chamber, right? >> the echo chamber worked like this. the white house would leak opinions and information to select friendly journalists, t

administration to another here in indiana and we are a week away from seeing a similar transition in washington, d.c. however, the and i am optimistic that the next four years see not only a change in leadership at the state and federal levels but also a transfer of assumed power from the federal government back to the states. [applause] for too long, washington has focused on washington and not the american people. that is why the states must assume a leadership role. in indiana, we have a strong foundation built on the shoulders of the fearless, hard-working hoosiers, small business owners, talented entrepreneurs, persevering leaders who laid the foundation upon which we will build. that same entrepreneurial drive must live within us, each of us, to face today's challenges. let us listen to this higher calling of our hoosier spirit. let us draw upon the cooperation and determination our younger years required, not tied down by government burden, choked by economic strain, or hindered by the fair of the future. we don't want to do that. this crossroads, we have faced clear choices. we can be the ri

but, the whole d.c. swamp is freaking out that the unelected officials from doge were allowed access to these systems. it makes no sense. federal judges were not elected. treasury bureaucrats were not elected. and they have failed to fix the problem that is enabling american taxpayers to be robbed. why not bring in skilled outside experts like private companies and private citizens that are successful in the real world to do everyday work that we need to get done here like audits? of course, federal payment systems are only one link in the improper payment chain. we need to look at other links in the chain. we need to better front and identity verification to screen out fraudsters and we need to close eligibility new pulse. it means not letting applicants self attest to their own eligibility. it means ending categorical eligibility that lets somebody who fraudulently qualifies for one federal benefit automatically get other federal benefits. finally, we need to do better with coordinating fraud preventio

so that's when it comes up to the d.c. area. there were in 1908, there was a military trials in fort myers, virginia. and you can see fort myers, virginia here. and you can see there's a lot of houses. fort myers is not a proper airfield. and the wright brothers performed military trials there first in 1907. it ended after a crash which injured wilbur wright and killed lieutenant selfridge, who was the first casualty in pilot aviation. the trial resumed in the summer of 1908. the wright's won the contract to supply the first airplane and training to the u.s. army signal corps. and after that, the wright brothers realized they needed a proper airfield and they couldn't continue flying. at fort myers, virginia. that's where they found college park airport. they sent a us lieutenant, frank lamb, in a hot air balloon to search for a flat piece of land in the area that would be suitable for an airfield. they found college park airport, the the us signal corps signed a lease and in august 1909 and they began constructing a one hangar

they are in d.c., their blocks of scheduling are 15 minutes at a time. they are constantly raising from hearings, subcommittee meetings, back to meet with constituents. this is a really demanding job, so to undermine it by saying they are not doing anything just because they are not doing what you want them to do is a really an effective way to think about congress. it matters because it makes us distrust kit and think it is not working the way it should. there are reasons that is not working come it is not that one. host: how about this one, "bipartisanship is dead," something we hear from callers. guest: i hear this from my drunk uncle, too. we need to work together. there are commonsense solutions, and they choose not to work together. that is sometimes true, but if you get a lot, like we are about ready to have another government shutdown fights here, and republicans are going to need democratic support. if you get a lot, you are going to need bipartisan support, right? even with unified government, with republicans in the house, the senate, and dona

david: i think what we say is we have had a wonderful four days here in washington, d.c., meeting witherparts, both folks in the senate, the house. i brought down the head of our canada border services agency, brought down the head of our rcmp, brought down our new fentanyl czar to meet with executives and folks in the white house, for example. so i think what we've been able to show this week is enormous progress on that border. and it's important for us to remember that a border is a two way street. we've made progress in terms of southern flowing problems, and we're making progress with the united states on northern flowing problems. john: what is their response? david: i think we are all encouraged because we are remembering the extent to which we are connected. we have had a relationship that goes back 150 plus years, a very productive one, frankly, a special relationship between both our countries, not something either of us once to compromise. what we are hearing back is, think you for bringing us back up to speed and for the practical measures. there've been all kinds of those

this rule, it applied in d.c., it applied to some states in the midwest, ohio, iowa, minnesota. but in the vast majority of the country, this wasn't the rule. this isn't the rule in california. this isn't the rule in georgia. this isn't the rule in most of america. um, and so moving forward, it probably won't make that big of a difference. >> professor smith, thanks for coming in. >> absolutely. >> thank you. all right. president trump may be adding another name to his long list of pardons. coming up, why trump says he's pushing to get the late pete rose into the hall of fame, despite rose being banned from baseball for gambling. also, a few americans say they feel a connection to organized religion. what a new survey says about faith and its role in american life. >> tell us. >> about accepting bribes. the stuff he did that was completely legal destroys democracy. i'm still not sure that you're repentant. >> i have nothing. >> to hide. >> if he. >> hadn't been such a, he would have gotten away with it. >> they would abuse. >> her on television. >> it was this. >> unholy combina
