douglas. nominate him on the platform he opposes. sake, we are for dred scott and we nominate douglas. and douglas has to say, he is for or against it. he does has to take a position. he will offend everybody. inc. and one set of douglas, something along the lines of, he does seem to live more than just about any other man i know. so he is not a fan of his, douglas is not a fan of lincoln, but he is an admirer. douglas wants the nomination, the convention divides, and it finally breaks up. so they try again. this time, they try it in baltimore. which is a little easier to get to. no offense to charleston, south carolina. it's a lot easier to get you today. th the northern e democratsnort he together there. southern democrats will have nothing to do with it. for the most part. and they nominate douglas, and the convention ends up choosing, as his running mate, a guy from georgia named herschel johnson. many many years ago now, many, many years ago when i had no life, as opposed to now, when i have no life, to when i had no life, as opposed to day when i do, i memorizeed the vice presidents. johnson

douglas across the country, sort of. he easily beats douglas in the electoral college. lincoln ends up with 180 electoral votes, douglas has 12. but, in fact, in a lot of the states they ran pretty close. couple of things to think about in connection with this. one, if douglas, breckenridge and bell had gotten together, would they have beaten lincoln? well, the three of them together got 123 electoral votes to lincoln's 180. so that's not enough. but would the votes have gone to lincoln instead of to douglas, or the fusion candidate, as they were talking about it? hard to say. we really can't know. here's pretty much what we do know. there were efforts for them to get together. there were efforts to try to get a coalition together and the one who blocked it was douglas. he was not going to let the democratic party go in that direction. and at one point they said well the election could be thrown to the house and douglas said i will help elect lincoln before i let that happen and when douglas realized he was going to lose, there were a few votes that went the republicans' way in october he said lincoln is the next presi

douglas douglas let's face it one of the biggest problems here is the huge differences between silva care and eric machar do you think that we will be able in the near future to convince these 2 rivals to set aside their differences more forward turn a chapter pave the way for stability and peace in south sudan. well i know that people have been trying to persuade them to put aside their differences and. know has been a feeling of broadly within the country and outside of the country that actually both men have have a long run in the history of south sudan in governance in one way or another and if they both agreed to an honorable retirement and alone and other people to i'm a forward to being to deal with these problems that might be the beginning of a real sense of not just of daro. trying to tackle the problems. and the divorce them from from. us through to move on from the problems that occurred were created within the we were oceans struck. i would just like to say note that what matthew centers is quite true about the importance of markets and livelihood and i would point out that there are signs within your way of difference of 1000000 troops that are trying to not just foster dialogue to change the equation between the communities the small they need support they need recognition but there is something there within the civilian population john lennon and how the parts of subs and individuals and groups that are willing to try to. carve out a new path and change the. patterns of the servants and destruction ok jeffrey we've been talking about the unity government one of the key components of that deal was basically the security a range of events you need to have a professional army of that brings about stability and security how can you achieve that when the country is divided along ethnic tribal lines. well it is. definitely unrealistic to expect people who are who have been you know on each other starts to come together very soon. after you know their last battle and then form a community if that's a gun at me. but it is definitely. something that has to be a long term goal because we need you not some sort of needs an army that reflects don't pretty and that you know i can't be you know this bin and etc but the problem here is that the perkiest tend to use you know on the easel of you know graduating do national necessary unify powers have their purposes for for for for for progress in implementing some of the peace agreement if then you soused that does not require the necessary unified force not being implemented for example for example just you not just appointing the. the officers not the department you know the governor of the pretty governor's commission as in the sector which does not require you know of. a unified force is not being dense so this reason is that the question of their willingness of the parties to see i'm going to amend a piece that it be sacrament let me go to matthew matthew this is going to be my last question in less than a minute if you don mind now this is the dry season when people would be moving from one area to another. towards sources of water how we are your concerned at this particular juncture. i mean the last time i was in people was in october and it was still covered in water and then in december i traveled to other parts of or great people as well as to other parts jungle and whatever community respects here and these are communities that were the term used before were at each other's throats previously and i heard the same story their greatest fear is the moment their the land starts to dry that there will be more fighting and that fighting will happen not just the political reduced or not at because of political reasons but because of necessity they will need to find ways to. raise other capital to bring capital back because they lost so many cattle in the floods in the previous i'd say what we mustn't allow is the deprivation to kick off another round of fighting and to be manipulated into something more political and something greater thank you so it's are wrong to continue the relief act or ations that we've already been started and we've already been working throughout the whole period but to gear it up and raise our game because i mean furthest distance people out but their future if you 2 relies on east and the peace relies on the.

douglas. douglas was thoroughgoing racist, and frederick douglass said that stephen douglas did more harm to african-american people and just about anybody. he kept on for all these debates he kept on forcing the issue. lincoln, he was speaking in illinois which of the time had this law that went into effect in 1853 that frederick douglass called the worst black law of any state in the union. the so-called negro exclusion act which if you are free african-american you couldn't enter from within ten days or else you would be fined and kicked out of the state. it was a terrible environment, and you can cherry picked certain things there but then later on during his presidency he really gains quite deep respect and affection even in springfield he lived in the neighborhood, this was back in illinois, and neighborhood that was full of african-americans. he became friendly to than any kept corresponding corresponding with several of them while he was in the white house. while he was in the white house he, frederick douglass who was at first, at first thought he was quite conservative on slavery met him a couple o

of conservative, almost racist things in his debates with douglas but douglas was a thorough going racist. frederick douglass and stephen douglas, he did more harm to african-american people than just about anybody. he kept on with all these debates, he kept on forcing the issue. lincoln finally said -- he was thinking in illinois which it went into effect in 1853, frederick douglass called the worst black law in the state of the union, so-called negro exclusion act. if you were free african-american, you couldn't enter that or you would be fined and kicked out of the state. it was a terrible environment. certain things there but then later on during his presidency, he gained quite deep respect and affection, even in springfield he lived in a neighborhood in illinois, a neighborhood full of african-americans, being friendly to them and kept responding with several of them while in the white house and while in the white house, frederick douglass, who at first thought he was quite conservative on slavery, met him a couple times in the white house and was astounded. he came out of this thing of these is the least prejudiced white

douglas in the 1860's. oratory,of parallel using edna and david as my guides, it is easier to find these parallels. lincoln says in 1858, a house divided itself cannot stand. lincoln says that douglas is liberty and slavery cannot dwell in peaceful relations. i don't know if douglasven knew it lincoln about douglas at this point. douglas says it is pretty well-established to all that one or the other of these, speaking of slavery, must go to the wall. the south must either give up slavery for the north must give up liberty. lincoln says it would become all one thing or the other, meaning the country. either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it or advocates will push until it becomes like law in all of the states. in the lincoln-douglas debates, stephen douglas, the sitting democratic senator who was running for a third term and televise it -- ill advisedly allowed lincoln to challenging for debates which it lincoln national reputation, stephen by scholarly fojection dropped the second 's name because he did not wanted to be the same as frederick douglass, that has never been proven, but it is an interesting story. he invoked frederick douglass. . but douglas become a subject in these debates. why don't we just talk about that for a minute

douglas debates, stephen douglas, the sitting democratic senator who is running for a third term and ill advised of the allowed lincoln to challenge him for debates, gave lincoln a national reputation. stephen douglas, who by scholarly conjecture dropped the second 's' in his name because he did not want it to be like frederick douglass's. it has never been proven but it is an interesting story. david: douglass would have loved to claim that. harold: which douglass? david: frederick. harold: douglass becomes a subject in these debates. let's talk about that. edna: they are debating throughout seven cities in illinois. cities where they had not done joint speeches before. they are trying to win over the crowd, so they are giving their perspective on slavery. it's connection and development of the country, and where the country is going. so douglas -- stephen a., someone who was pro-south, if not proslavery. very much anti-black. whenever he was throughout illinois he made a point, consistently, to say things that would get his audience to come to his side by saying negative things about black people. to talk about douglass in relation to an alleged relationship with lincoln -- the two had not met at

douglas was, he wasn't charles j. douglas and he wasn't a he. he was in fact strang's first plural wife. and it says a great deal about the weird gender relations in the time. they didn't fool everybody, right? a lot of people were like, you know, who is the woman strang is traveling around with. but they fooled a lot of people. and i think a lot of that had to do with the displays of femininity that happened and the hugely ornate displays of femininity and people didn't know what to make of this person. and so that was one of the really fun things. in fact, this woman, elvira field is a fascinating figure in her own right. like many of the con men and true believers that strang surrounded himself with. >> thank you. kathleen, i'm wondering if you could talk to us a little bit about how you use cher ami and whit to address -- as a window into world war i more broadly. >> yeah. so the thing i guess to go back and then answer is, i've always really been fascinated by world war i. it's always been, i guess, my favorite war, you know, that word is n

douglas. would you tell me a bit about him and her? >> so charles douglas, strang went around a long tour of fund-raising and recruitment and the east coast in 1849 and 1850. he was accompanied by young man who he introduced to everyone as his nephew and private secretary. if we had it, i would put it up on the screen right now. it's quite a nice photograph. the trick with charles douglaswas he wasn't charles douglas and he wasn't a he. he was strang's first polygamist wife. it says a great deal about the we're gender relations. they did not fool everybody. a lot of people were like who is the woman strang is traveling around with? they pulled a lot of people and i think a lot of that had to do with the displays of femininity that happened, we hugely ornate displays of femininity. and i think folks just did not know what to make of this person. that was one of the really fun things. truly interesting character, like the conman that strang surrounded himself with. kathleen, i'm wondering if you could talk to us about how you used cher ami and whit to address -- as a window into world war i. >> sure. the thing i guess that you have to go back and answer is that you -- i've always really been fascinated by world war i. it's always been my favorite war, i guess. that word is not exactly right, but it's the war that has drawn me over the worse -- the most over the years. i

douglas. i think that alan douglas, quite honestly, i think he did quite a bit of damage to the country, and to eisenhower's presidency. i think he was a poor choice. i understand why he was chosen. he had gifts, he had legacy in the warriors themselves, doing intelligence networks in. europe but he was so secretive, he amassed a great deal of power. talk about supervision, he was a clever bureaucratic in fighter. he didn't allow any of the blue ribbon panels that were on the cia to get anywhere near him. he also convinced eisenhower to take a number of risks that in retrospect were ill judged. that's one of the faults that i talk about a lot in my book. i do want to say that on balance, the eisenhower foreign relations with national security is a record of significant success. even though the cia dimension of it it is a real series of real black marks, when eisenhower managed to do is to come into office 1953 and a moment of extraordinary fluidity and explosiveness in the cold war. the cream wars going on, the index or shine a war, the enamel is going on. there's a nasty conflict between china

in 1894 frederick douglas gave his final speech there. douglas'seral was held inside the same church the next year. more than a century later, metro poppal ame hosts the funeral of rosa parks. this church has witnessed racial oppression in this country and the centuries old battle for equality, dignity, to make real the promise that black lives matter. when the nation went through a brutal reckoning this year and protests over racial injustice, metro poppal ame put up a black lives matter sign. and then this weekend, a bunch of supporters of the president came to downtown d.c. and they gleefully tore that sign down. this is what it looked like. the pastor responded in "the washington post" today with that quote, it mattered not that the sign was ours. the myth tholg that motivated the perpetrators saturday night was the underbelly of the american narrative, that white men can employ violence to take what they want and do what they want and call that criminality freedom, justice and liberty. trump supporters also ripped down a black lives matter fro

some of us are old enough to remember douglas can burgs supreme court nomination -- douglas ginsberg's supreme court nomination which fell apart because of marijuana use. that's probably not a disqualifying standard now. nanny gate has disqualified people in the past but if you promptly pay now, it's ok. duis are probably disqualifying. in terms of the sort of public statement vetting, it used to be speeches you give. in a world now of social media, and a world of 24 hour cable, people say and tweet and write out a lot of stuff. the next horizon is what is disqualifying in all of this noise that's being generated every single day? i think a lot of it is disclosure. where people get in trouble, in a world where donald trump has had the pen of twitter for four office,d the highest his point is a good 1 -- the standards have shifted in terms of what you can say and get away with anymore. , peoplethe same time don't want to be surprised. of anyou will run afoul incoming administration is if you haven't been honest about something. you said you paid all your employee taxes and you haven't.

lincoln argued in the 18 58th debate with douglas, quote property in a slave is not distinctly, and confirmed in the constitution. and judge douglas thinks it is. lincoln did not believe the founders were hypocrites, generally speaking. as he put it, we had slavery among us. we could not get our constitution. unless, we permitted them to remain in slavery. we could not secure the good we did secure if we grasped for more. it does not destroy the principle, that is the charger charter of our liberties. he thought the founders cannot free themselves, or free their slaves at the same time. as it was recently put, the american founder could not be perfect, from the start. it had to progress towards a goal. put simply the founding generation, of americans did not believe that people freed themselves, and freed their slaves without hazarding the success of both their independence and a new way of governing themselves. however once they had to secure their independence what did they do collectively with regard to the state institution of slavery? did their federal constitution indicate a desire to strengthen slavery's hold on the america

douglas ginsburg and dragon institute. >> welcome everyone. my name is tony and the chief learning officer at the ronald reagan presidential foundation institute today it is my honor to have judge douglas ginsburg with us. he served as chief judge for the dc circuit and from 2001 - 2008 and has been on the court since 1986. he worked in the reagan administration and top law at harvard george mason, the university of chicago, columbia, and others were really excited have you up-to-date really excited to talk a little bit about this project that you have been working on. tony: is a combination of things. both available on amazon prime, the video series, three-part series called a more or less perfect union. as well as a companion book. so i can ask you judge douglas ginsburg, what wasn't damage want to do this. douglas: will thank you for asking. this is addressed to what i think of as a little crisis in our education system in the u.s. now. civics is not being taught as nearly as live and fund widely as it should've be in american history is often neglected. so we have million of students graduating hr from high school have never been exposed to how our government works and what are constitution says. and what our national values are even. the younger the person is, the more ignorant they are likely to be in these topics. we simply cannot have a functioning democratic republic with a completely ignorant population. but we are headed in that direction. what i am doing is part of a broader reaction to the civics education. i think sandra o'connor really started the ball rolling from years ago. and what is it civics. and the work they are doing, they created educational materials from the series for pbs. and they distributed the series to 170,000 t

douglas brinkley. always great to have you on, douglas. senator sasse also alleges that his republican colleagues have entertained claims that the election was fraudulent out of fear of the political backlash from the president's base. this is something we've heard repeatedly throughout this administration. what is your reaction? >> it's donald trump being a joe mccarthy, you know, trying to have loyalty oaths. he wants to divide the republican party into two worlds, people that will do anything for me and everybody else. so he's really just throwing mitch mcconnell out of the bus and hawley is the new guy he's betting on. lindsey graham came right after christmas day to golf and stay behind the president. we're dealing with two distinct republican parties, trump's republicans and the old fashioned real republicans. we will have to see how this all plays out, but it's not good for the country. it's, once again, donald trump trying to undermine democracy and have a spasm of a wounded ego that won't end since election day and it's playing out in all sorts of nefarious ways. >> i said this last night for someone like josh hawley who is such a china talk to be given them this gift, any authoritarian country to give them this gift of questioning our democratic process is unconscionable but his objection puts many of his own senate republicans in a difficult position as well as you mentioned. side with trump or the people. is there a constitutional basis for congress to dismiss electoral college votes? >> no. that's not going to happen. that is a fantasy of donald trump's. this is a lot of showmanship going on here right now. donald trump has to be the number one dog and he doesn't like the fact that after, you know, come late january, mitch mcconnell ostensibly if georgia holds republican mitch will be the leading republican in washington. mitch mcconnell might want to do some deals with joe biden and trump says no. he doesn't want mitch mcconnell doing any deals with biden. mcconnell is not the leader of the republican party, i am. and so what trump is trying to do is create a coalition of ten, maybe 15 republican senators that will do his bidding and be obstructionist over the next four years as trump decides whether he is going to run for reelection in 2024 or at least hold the power to determine who is the nominee, hence people like hawley kind of bowing in front of king trump and of course there's always the ivanka and donald trump jr. scenario and how they're going to be unspooled on the american political process in the coming year. so it's all about donald trump not wanting to go out with the l, the loser tattooed on his chest. >> you mentioned bowing before donald trump and i want to ask you about this new "washington post" reporting about president-elect biden's team requesting for his previous secret service detail to come back and work with him once he is in office because according to them they feel uncomfortable with some of their current detail and that they may, in fact, be aligned with trump and trump officials in an uncomfortable way. can you give us any historical context here? clearly any politician has the right to have detail that they're more comfortable with, but this seems to be taking it to a really dark place. >> it's very dark. i mean, it does remind me of abraham lincoln when he won the election in 1860, lincoln wasn't on the ballot in seven southern states and his train ride in from illinois to washington it was -- there was a fear of an assassination that would occur and it could have been from people within government that didn't want lincoln to be president. so the fact that joe biden is feeling uncomfortable now is another dark cloud already brewing over 2021. one has to hope that once biden gets in there he will have a secret service team he's comfortable with and we could get on to doing operation warp speed on steroids. this slow trickle pace of getting the people vaccinated isn't sustainable. we have to really ramp it up. you would think the republican party now would be united trying to take credit for operation warp speed, saying we did a -- a vaccine was developed due to donald trump and go that route instead of playing this charade that biden didn't win the election and isn't a real president. they did that to lincoln in 1860 and it led to a civil war and you get the feeling that trump wants to have some kind of deep division or neo civil war in our country as we head into 2021 and it's pathetic. >> it's alarming to hear as well. one would think if he was going to take a victory lap the best way to do it is to have a public vaccination as well and clearly that's not going to happen. douglasnk you. happy new year to you. >> happy new year. >> thank you. >>> well, florida has a limited number of coronavirus vaccine doses and the state's plan to prioritize seniors over health care workers has led to huge lines. we will take you there coming up next. research shows people remember commercials with nostalgia. so to help you remember that liberty mutual customizes your home insurance, here's one that'll really take you back. wow! what'd you get, ryan?

second, buchanan's role in the feud with stephen douglas over the constitution which became an supported and douglas objective. it divided the democratic party and argued we led to its breakup in 1860. third, buchanan's handling of the utah war in 1858 in which the president sent the army west to quell unrest of the territory settled by a few thousand mormons. finally and most importantly, buchanan's handling of the secession crisis of 1860 and 1861. of all the many failures, story theory has judged him more harshly for the secession crisis than any other factor, a point which i will return. what i found interesting in my research buchanan's presidency with the medic continuation's of this connection with men by william rufus king to others. under the careful management of first lady harriet lane, buchanan pictured on the left, washington was "never gayer" than during this administration. the entertainments included morning reception, evening receptions, dinners, children's parties, old-fashioned evening parties with music and supper, and funded balls. so many functions for attention that a washingt

douglas, the noted slave and abolitionest. john brown had met frederick douglas from years before and shared his plan handing out weapons to slaves around harper's ferry. there was an arsenal there, and gave them to the slaves and they strike for their freedom. so, if -- and john brown said to frederick douglas, if if you come along, if the slaves that we appeal to see that you're part of this, then all of a sudden i have far more credibility than i would have otherwise. and frederick douglas said, no, i don't think so. basically what he said, i'm a writer, not a fighter. secondly he knew that john bra brown's raid was a suicide mission. and he understands the first thing the slaves would do, okay, what am i getting into here? as bad as slavery is, i don't want to go to immediate death. and as soon as i take up weapons, then that is is a capital crime in any slave state for a slave to take up weapons and i'll be murdered or killed and i'll do this if there is a reasonable chance. the other thing is john brown discovered, to his chagrin, that harper's ferry is really easy to get into, but it's hard to get out of. so, actually getting into town especially when nobody is expecting an attack, they come in in the middle of the night and couple of sleepy guards around the armory there and they're

douglas over the compton constitution, which buchanan supported and douglas rejected. that divided the democratic party and arguably led to its breakup in 1860. third, buchanan's handling of the utah war of 1858 in which the president sent the army west in a territory settled by a few thousand mormons. finally and most importantly, his handling of the secession crisis. history judged him more harshly for that crisis than any other factor, a point to which i will return. what i found interesting in my research was the many continuations from his intimate connection with men like william rufus king, to others. under harriet lane, buchanan's niece, washington was never gayer than during this administration. the entertainment included morning receptions, evening receptions, children's parties, old-fashioned evening parties with music and supper, and splendid balls. so many functions vied for attention that washington socialites often attended three balls in one evening. buchanan also continued to enjoy romantic flirtations now exclusively with southern widows. even before returning to the united states, a rumor circulated he intended to court the widow, sarah polk. both parties categorically denied it. in the summer of 1859, he became attached to a wealthy 33-year-old widow and mother of three, pictured on the right. when she visited buchanan at the soldiers cottage, the president reportedly rushed out of the parlor to change his clothes, returning dressed within an inch of his life. as kate thompson, wife of the secretary interior, called it. in august of 1859, the president's acquired bath and three children. flirtations aside, buchanan remained in cordially a bachelor during his presidency. with king gone, buchanan continued his close connection, especially to king's niece. in 1860, he hosted prince albert upwards, an heir to the british throne. in a touching moment in transatlantic friendship, buchanan traveled to mount vernon to pay their respects at the tomb of george washington. in this portrait from the smithsonian american art museum, we see harriet lane holding a parasol and catherine ellis wearing a black shawl with her back to the viewer. both of whom stand to the left of president buchanan and prince albert edward. here again, the hidden piece of visual evidence proved critical to find the continuing connections with the family of william rufus king. thinking back on buchanan's failure as president, i began to wonder how his relationship with king and other southerners may have played a part. president buchanan meddled where he should not have. unwarranted intrusion -- his insistence that kansas territory be admitted to the union with a proslavery, and almost certainly fraudulent constitution, caused an irreparable rift with stephen douglas, an important ring of ngingnut -- wiu of the democratic party. it showed a hardhead and flexing of federal authority over perceived insubordination. as president, buchanan could not seem to reconcile his strict interpretation of the constitution with a need to respond to the times. he was stuck in the politics of the past. in a time when bosom friendship with southern democrats had been enough to elevate him to higher office. arguably, he was still relying on the same political formula that brought him national prominence back during the days of the united states senate. finally, we come to the secession crisis of 1860 and 1861. as the photograph makes clear, buchanan was squarely in charge of the government. called the old chief, as much as andrew jackson had been called before him, buchanan shared much in common with old hickory. history will judge harshly his handling of the secession crisis as compared to jackson's handling of the nullification crisis of 1833. neither the secessio

who can forget the classic exchange in the lincoln douglas debates when lincoln said, "a house divided against itself cannot stand." to which douglas, "i am a chair." in the midst of an unprecedented pandemic, and a clear election in which the defeated incumbent still hasn't recognized reality the white house decided that now was the perfect time for the first lady to announce the completion of the new white house tennis pavilion. it's the only place eric or don junior will ever hear the word "love." now, it might be tough for this administration to find anybody to play with. based on how they've behaved since the election, republicans don't have any balls. in a statement, the first lady statemented, "it is my hope that this private space will function as both a place of leisure and gathering for future first families." that's the closest we're going to get to a concession! she's admitting that there will be future first families. and gatherings! according to the white house, the construction of the new tennis building was funded by private donations. so, when the campaign sent out emails begging for "court money," technically, the

douglas quoted shakespeare probably 10 times as often as lincoln did, and his were either explicit quotations in quotations or in a number of allusions. and so, douglas liked lincoln, right, they were autodidacts, they were chiefly self-taught. and so, they share that background and upbringing, if you will. by far, of course, douglas, having the more difficult go at it, because he was legally enslaved, until he escaped when he was 20. and so, the quoting of shakespeare was fairly -- i don't know if it was commonplace, i haven't exhausted my reading of the abolitionists, but it was certainly one that frederick douglas, who wrote the king's english, if you will, it came to him readily, so i'll just leave that at that. and in terms of lincoln, it's the same letter to hackett, where he mentions -- he closes by asking hackett, you know, to be, or not to be, you know, is the most popular, the most famous, speech from shakespeare. -- the most famous speech from shakespeare. but i think the one that you mentioned, right, the king claudius speech that begins, "oh, my offenses rank," where he's trying to confess his sin, but he realizes, i like the fruit of my sin too much, and so it is an abortive prayer. and lincoln loved that. he says, this is humanity. we want to do well. we recognize, unless we're completely corrupt, w

student david argues that more people see near douglas speak during the golden age of moratorium, that any other white or black then mark twain. and douglas was truly one of the literally, two or three most significant figures in the united states during his lifetime. and again, for a good part of the 20th century, the significance of that history was erased. and that was done politically by whites. >> okay. [inaudible]. heath pulled the chair out from under us. i can think of a better way to end this then to talk about frederick douglass. and the things that he has offered us. here we go. thank you all and was so nice of this kind of a reunion. a collaboration, thank you. it. >> it was so wonderful to see you deborah. zuma can be very alienating. so this was a real treat for me to be able to, if only virtually to spend time with you. >> it is likewise always of pleasure . >> this is minute truly amazing event and i am so honored to have been able to participate in it even as a host. and that the audience was able to witnesses as well. i want to take a moment to thank our wonderful speakers again. and all of you for spinning your evening

douglas deiterich. >> thank you, i'm dr. douglasrich i'm a professor of medicine at the icahn school of medicine. i'm here as a patient, not as a professor. even know covid-19 causes significant deliver disease and mortality with patients with pre-existing delive ining liver. i think it's important recognize that there is a space between life and death. we see the deaths which are tlo extraordinary. 3600 yesterday. and the number of people infected. i was infected in mid-march as was about two-thirds of my clinical team. i was hospitalized for about a month and sent home on six liters of oxygen. subsequently, i discovered that i had severe peripheral neuropathy in my feet. and severe neurosis which i'm still getting treated for, actually both of them. of course, my sense of smell is completely gone. so, i think, it's important to recognize as good as our treatment is now, prevention is clearly much better. there's a lot of long-term effects of covid. after i was at home for a few months, i developed some severe atrial arrhythmias. w

there was a really great debate that fredrik douglas and susan b anthony had in albany of civil rights convention around the time, like 1870, where fredrik douglas -- about women -- whose right was more urgent, white women or black. >> women because they are women are taken out of their homes hung on trees and women because they are women an her need is urgent as mine and until then mine is more urgent. it was remarkable to read and i'm paraphrasing because that's true today. black men are treated in america and i think, you know, what i've encouraged white women to realize is that even within your own life you're not -- you don't feel responsible for what came before you, you have to appreciate that legacy that it was a white women who falsely accused man and that it was a white women that falsie accused of harassing her that led to his murder and long line of white women, you know, we are part of but also that, certainly true for me, while i didn't feel satisfied in my sort of patriarchy and white women can be, i don't want to rock the boat, i don't have it great but i have it okay and want things to be okay. and so we are not pushing for othe

douglas, what did you think of my speech? and that is when douglas lincoln face-to-face, mr. president, that was a sacred act. this is asking for the best in us. it is asking for this american ideal that we can fight like hell over policy, we can really disagree over even visions of government, visions of the future, even our most divisive issues. name them however you want, name your top five and we got plenty of them. but in the end, we accept defeat and victory in elections. we accept democratic results. well, sometimes we don't. and the biggest danger to american democracy now, and no one needs visit tell them, is that we got millions of people , wherever they are getting their information, who do not believe the results of the selection. ro believe it was somehow stolen, that is the favorite word, and that the process of the selection should not be trusted. we've got millions more, a majority, certainly, it appears, that believe it can be trusted. but the deep, deep danger in , evenevel of distrust ourain, even hatred of political system, our po

douglas nguyen says risks to markets and the economy will remain well into 2021. he spoke with haslinda amin. douglas: there are elements of the market people will look back on and say, how did that happen? that happens from time to time. the markets are going through a period of divergence. what is interesting is the fact that the financial infrastructure, the architecture of the system has held up extraordinary well during this period. one of the observations i would make is if it hadn't been for all the work done by the industry and more importantly by weicymakers and governments, would have had a financial crisis alongside the pandemic. the market seems to be pricing in a goldilocks situation with the vaccine. it will take time. douglas will take time. i think the impact of the vaccine will take longer than many people hope. a moreket is discounting rapid rollout of the vaccination program. it is going to take well into the end of next year and maybe into 2022 before we get mass vaccinations across society. we will have to wait and see. having said that, there are many sectors that are going to benefit from the reflection that has been given across many economies in terms of building back economies that have been damaged. we are seeing a tremendous amount of interest in the esg financing. can we be better prepared for the next time something threatens the global economy? do you think countries will be looking at the mounting debt in the coming years? how will they pay for this spending spree? is it too early to worry about that? douglas: it's too early to worry, but it's too early to think you can do anything different from what is being done at the moment. policymakers have an incredibly hard judgment in terms of wh
