he could then be exchanged for general lee. here is a picture of general prescott. it did not hurt that general prescott was a hated figure in rhode island. he was the classic petty tyrant. when he interviewed a captain that had been captured, he reportedly knocked him in the head and threatened to hang him. au would regularly visit captain in jail and threatened to have him hanged. he was known to strike quaker men with his cane for failing to doff their hats in respect when he approached. sometimes even the british felt prescott went too far. in canada he had put out a reward of 1000 pounds for the capture of america's best general at the time, benedict arnold. arnold announced a reward for the capture of prescott. but it was only half the amount, 500 pounds. london newspapers admired arnold for his cleverness, and prescott looked like a fool. why was prescott spending time at the rural house? later reports was he wanted to sleep with henry john oberlin's wife or other local women. that was not true. he wanted to be close to the action. most of the american raids

the attorney general on like other members of the cabinet, there is a line that the attorney general is not allowed to cross, which is that despite the priorities of the president is attorney general number one duty is to enforce the law. and to do so on an objective, non-partisan basis. this attorney general does not believe that. and every time the president has ignored the law, abuse the law cannot consider changes, the person that a side telling him how to it do that and the attorney general. this is really no surprise. look, he was confirmed by a very large vote. but we knew at the time that this was going to happen. we sell you just about one incident that occurred during the clinton administration that should tell you what this attorney general is capable of. toward the end of the clinton administration -- and all of you may recall, that is what hillary clinton moved to new york and said she was going to run for the united states senate. well, at the time there were 16 convicted terrorists, domestic terrorists in federal prison. they were domestic terrorists from the fln which

this is the facebook generation. exciting generation has a lot of labels on it that i don't think are true at all. y are called lazy and entitled. i think it has a lot to offer the country. host: the pew research center said that politically 50% consider themselves and appended. what does the case, it mean for your organization as you approach politics? guest: we want to be pro-generational. we look at the majority consensus position where young people stand and represent that. on social issues you will see millennial's align more with liberals and democrats . on many fiscal issues there is a lot less consensus. for the most part we try to encourage civic engagement. that has been totally depleted in this country. less than 20 states still teach civics. importantly, it has been cut from our federal funding from the department of education grid kids are growing up with no understanding of how government works. nonprofits are trying to take up the slack. host: talk about your organization. we have a point of view for w

the attorney general unlike other members of his cabinet, there's a line that the attorney general is not allowed to cross. which is that despite the priorities of the president, the attorney general's number one duty is to enforce the law. and to do so on an objective nonpartisan basis, this attorney general does not believe in that. and every time the president has ignored the law, use the law, twisted or changed it, the person at his side telling him how to do that and telling him it's okay has been the attorney general of the united states, eric holder. this is really no surprise. look, he was confirmed by a very large boat, but we knew at the time that this is going to happen. how did we know that? i can tell you about one incident that occurred during the clinton administration that should tell you what this attorney general is capable of. towards the end of the clinton administration, all of you may recall that's when hillary clinton moved to new york and such is going to run for the united states senate. well, at the time there were 16 convicted terrorists, domestic terrorists

general aviation, one in 27,000. and maybe next year can come back and talk to you guys about why general aviation is nowhere near as good as you guys. but then in combat military aircraft in combat, one in 7,500. i'm still talking about aviation i have not gotten to anything in space. the next thing is the requirement of where nasa wants us to be. this is what they want us to attain with the next generation the spacecraft. and that's one in 270. that is our aspirational goal. one in 270. you guys are at one in five and a half million. where have we been up until now? space shuttle, one in 68. 135 space shuttle missions. so one in 68. if you climb mount everest, that's slightly riskier, one in 67. about the same dangers as flying in the space shuttle. even worse, one in 58. finally for comparison's sake, modern ejection seat, the north there is misleading because that is when the guys pull the handle that is the success rate after the poet. many of them pull it way too late. in no, if you were straight and level insi

that's general warren. general warren also thought a lot of himself, and as you'll see at this campaign, often thought his plans were better than those of his superiors. the union's sixth corps will be in the hands of general sedgwick. he will be shot down by a south carolina sharpshooter at the battle of spotsylvania courthouse. the sixth corps will be beheaded by ambrose wright. horacio ambrose wright is a general that most of you probably have not heard about. and he comes to the sixth corps without much background. the union army will also have within it general ambrose burnside, who will be commanding the ninth army corps. burnside is the general who headed the army of the potomac during the battle at fredericksburg. grant is now bringing him back to join the army of the potomac. because of burnside's former position, grant decides that burnside can't serve underneath mead, and instead will report directly to grant who will coordinate him with general mead. you can see of the command confusion that's g

and i think it is important to realize that our generation, when you look at older generation in theast, baby boomers and the generations before, there is a disconnect, more of a disconnect to what's going on in gaza and israel. when you look at students and millennials my age, there is a different perspective and experience that they are going through versus american mi millennial able to practice their religion in peace. at the end of the day, the power of social media, especially twitter and the power of a tweet can go very far. >> jim, to you, all evening you and i have been going back and forth sharing tweets from people on all sides of this. >> let me say i'm a little intimidated because everybody is a double major here i had just one major. >> me too. >> i'll ask you,ester, in your generation, this is not far off from my generation, about six ahead of you. do you have anger about what's happening in the international world, dissatisfaction. but also a lot of people disaffected. they have given up on it. doesn't see how it can make a difference. ester, where do you think your g

i'm the general counsel of at general motors company. i have worked for g.m. for 37 years. prior to that, i was an assistant u.s. attorney and before that, i clerked for the honorable vincent j. brennan of the michigan court of appeals. as you are aware, the investigation conducted by anton valukas revealed the failures behind the ignition switch recall including failures on the legal staff. when ms. barra testified before this committee on april 2, a number of you, including you, chairman mccaskill, raised serious and important questions about the performance of the legal staff. and our responsibility in this tragedy as general counsel, i'm ultimately responsible for the legal affairs of the company. and i'm here today to answer your questions. i first learned about the cobalt ignition switch defect during the first week of february of this year. i immediately took action. i wish i had known about it earlier. because i know i would have taken action earlier if i did. we had lawyers at general motors who did not do their jobs. didn't do what was expected of them. and those

secretary general special coordinator, commissioner general, high commissioner, and assistant secretary-general for their statements. i am honored to speak on behalf of the european union. the country of the association ,rocess, bosnia-herzegovina aligns itself with this statement. it strongly calls on all parties to respect. rockets fired from the gaza strip must stop, and all offensive israeli military actions must come to an end. we commend the efforts of the u n secretary-general, egypt, and the united states to broker this and earlier deals, and hope this new agreement can be expanded into a lasting cease-fire. the call on all the parties not to miss this opportunity. president, in the past few weeks we have witnessed scenes which we hope never to witness again. we condemn the terrible loss of almost 2000 lives, including over 420 innocent children. many more have been injured. beene livelihoods have destroyed, as well as vital public infrastructure. that gaza faces an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. addressing this will require a coordinated international effort in which israel and the

[ laughter ] he's in his early 50s at this point in the war. he will earn his field marshal's baton in italy, the equivalent of a five-star general. there's no shortage of contemporary disparagement of alexander. his own chief of staff wrote that the limitations of his ability began to appear when the forces under his command became so huge that their manipulation required weeks and months of forethought, not hours or days. another british general simply insisted he's bone from the neck up. [ laughter ] it was said he was a born leader not a made one. an english countrymen almost uneducated who never read a book. it was said he could not write his name before the

dollar general up 12%. family dollar, that seems to be the one everyone wants to buy, and dollar tree down more than 2%. gordon reagan now with more on what's behind the battle for family dollar, and whether the stakes could go even higher. >> it's the deal wall street anticipated all along. >> i've been expecting dollar general to buy these guys for 18 months. and i just was surprised that dollar tree, which is a very different business from family dollar, decided to make this transaction. >> dollar general is offering 78.50 per share in cash for family dollar. superior to dollar tree's $74 and 50 cent offer at the end of july. dollar general says the cost savings of its combination with family dollar would roughly double the amount estimated by dollar tree. the potential merger of dollar general and family dollar creates a network 7,000 stores larger than a combination with dollar tree. combined sales with dollar general would be $28 billion annually. and because of the two retailer similarities. analysts

a brigadier general's certificate. then i keep looking and there is a major general certificate.nd then a lieutenant general certificate. and there's the famous thumb again, holding john bell hood's full general certificate. one star, two star, three star, and four-star general certificates. it is unbelievable. i have talked to professional civil war historians. and archivists. they have never seen -- some of them have never seen a general's certificate, anybody's general certificate. all four of john bell hood's are now, we know where they are. this is, i got way ahead of myself. this is -- oh, i meant to, hood was in the insurance business. it's funny, toward the end he says, i don't like selling insurance. i think i will do something else. in the 1870's, he traveled a lot. in the records, 60 letters from him to his wife, anna, from various places around the south. there are 40 or 50 letters from her to him, which i did not transcribe. -- which i did not get and i did not transcribe. so they are still with the descendent. but these are letters. what i wanted to do was read a fe

general grant seemed to not be overly concerned about the threat to washington by the general's men. the president of the railroad is telling him it's a real threat and grant is going to move rather slowly. as the confederates will now move toward isolating the union troops, which evacuated harpers ferry on maryland heights and close in on frederick, maryland. on frederick, maryland, they have occupied it on the 8th day of july. a union army has been assembled there on the banks of the river and on the 9th day of july at the battle, who would write the most popular novel written in the 19th century by american author ben purr. when evacuates and leaves the battlefield he falls back on baltimore leaving washington uncovered. many of the thousands of men who had been manning the washington forts, the '87 forts and batteries had been called to fill the vacant ranks as we talked about in those wonderful songs we were led in as they are father abraham's call. and they are going to become instant infantrymen. many of them we have just heard from our lecturer, many by the black men and -- o

that's general warren.neral warren also thought a lot of himself, and as you'll see as this campaign unfolds, often thought his plans were better than those of his superiors. the union's sixth corps will be in the hands of general sedgwick. unfortunately, john sedgwick won't last very long. he will be shot down by a south carolina sharpshooter at the battle of spotsylvania courthouse. by the time the armies get here to cold harbor, the union's sixth corps will be headed by a gentleman by the name of ambrose wright. horacio ambrose wright is a general that most of you probably have not heard about. and he comes to the sixth corps without much background. the union army will also have within it general ambrose burnside, who will be commanding the ninth army corps. burnside is the general who headed the army of the potomac during the battle at fredericksburg. grant is now bringing him back to join the army of the potomac. but because of burnside's former position, grant decides that burnside can't serve undern

general eric holder, take a listen. >> i have seen a lot in my time as attorney general, but few thingsfected me as greatly as my visit to ferguson. i had a chance to meet with the family of michael brown. i spoke to them not just as attorney general, but as a father of a teenaged son like myself. they like so many in ferguson want answers. in my conversations with dozenindozen ins of people in ferguson it was clear that this has brought to the surface underlying tensions that have existed for many years. >> that was the attorney general talking about underlying tensions that have existed for years here in ferguson, between the police, between the people in ferguson, exactly what you were just talking about there, he was only on the ground for a few hours and i guess picked up on that. you have lived here your whole life. has that always been the case here in ferguson? >> it depends. as a youth, they used to have loud music -- there's always been something where revenues have been down, a lot of cities in the area, went to aggressive ticketing on the speed enforcement. red light cameras

and played destruction generally. if we can only whip them and gain our independence, i am willing to give up all. yes, everything. >> in the spring of 1864, the first united states colored troops arrived at the front in virginia. more than 3,000 men, some of them former slaves in orange, culpepper, spotsylvania, and caroline counties, though faced with the prospect of reenslavement or death, and though they entered an aerial harley predisposed to xwrad them, they still came. about four miles north of here, the 23rd uscts, including several soldiers engaged in the first combat with lee's army. much more was to come, including success in the initial attacks in june 1864 after that experience, one of the army's white soldiers wrote, a few more fights like that, and they will have established their manhood if not their brotherhood to the satisfaction of even the most prejudiced. and so they would. >>> what happened on these field reverberated across america to towns that we have hardly heard of our maybe have never even

president roosevelt has been proven right, and his generals wrong. the same thing happened then in 1943 a few months later. but with the british now giving the president grief. the president had silenced his the president had silenced his washington generals who were criticizing eisenhower for being slow to seize tunisia. large numbers of germans troops have been flown into combat. the president of cause of lincoln had made it clear he was not in the least disappointed by eisenhower's slow progress. his was exactly why u.s. forces were in the mediterranean, not in the north of france, to learn how to fight and gradually how to efeat the germans in battle. the president was swiftly proven right. defeat at germany hands was hocking, but not shameful. north africa was an opportunity o learn the lessons of combat, of command. and if coalition cooperation of army, air, and navy, fighting ogether with our allies. in the ensuing months of 1943, in tunisia and sicily, we heard very moving stories about those invasions. the united forces did exactly hat. lear

general. wounding a german general. and wounding as well 15 -- 14 other coalition service members, including americans. this is a brazen attack. a significant casualty toll. as we get to the point where u.s. forces are going to withdraw from afghanistan and hand over responsibility for security in afghanistan to these local forces. that were being trained at this national defense university where this attack took place. >> just quickly what we're hearing early on is this was a gathering for key leaders. this is a translation so i'm not going to say that's exactly it. but something along the lines of high-level training. i don't know how much the pentagon knows or is able to share. high-level training would say to me unbelievable vetting. >> for sure. this took place at the marshal fahim defense university. the early reports from the pentagon had been it took place at camp qahgha, which is a training center for afghan military officers. the defense university is in the same complex. just based on the composition of the g

and former general wesley clark, retired general wesley clark. gentlemen, thank you so much for being with us tonight. ambassador kurtz, i want to start with you. israel has had some tough things to say to u.s. official, most notably programs when prime minister netanyahu reportedly told the u.s. ambassador to israel that he should, quote, never, ever second guess him again when it came to dealing with hamas. have you heard that kind of talk when you were ambassador here or when you were ambassador in egypt? >> well, we've experienced tough talk in the past. i dealt with ariel sharon as prime minister. he was quite tough on occasion. so it's not unusual when the united states and israel get into these spats. what is unusual is the fact that we've had these recurring fights for the entire period of the obama and netanyahu administrations. and the tenor of the discussion has really gotten nasty. so it's the length of time that these two sides are fighting with each other that makes this unusual. >> do you think that it undermines the influence that

let me just say, dollar general didn't want to deal with me. i would have been completely totally supportive. would have helped dollar general do can do the deal at that moment in time. so that's nonsense. >> right. >> why in the hell didn't they do it. >>> i got to run. your last word. one comment. one comment from you before we go. >> yeah. >> apple currently trading above its split adjusted record close over $100. your comment as i'm -- you telling me, still a shareholder, a sizable one? >> very sizable shareholder. i think those followers that read my tweet when it was, what was it, 450? not long ago, the ones that bought it and held it should be happy. you should read my tweets moor. become followers. so i think -- i think they should be awful happy with this one, and we haven't sold the share and -- look, i'm not going to comment what we do in the future, but i will tell you this. >> i understand. >> that -- apple was another no-brainer, just likes this dollar general/family dollar concept is a no-brainer. apple, i consider to be one of t

generator installations began in 1935.first generator unit end two began commercial operation october 26th, 1936 to serve the stiff los angeles. ones and, two the generators filled the pits as demand for electrical energy in california, nevada and arizona called them into service. finally in 1959, manufacturing and installation of the last generator began. for 25 years it laid dormant and silent except for number of other hoover generators. now as needed contracts were awarded for the generators manufacturer and installation. plants throughout the nation fabricated the many parts. the design followed that of other hoover generating units. it's a 95,000 kilowatt, 60-cycle, 16,500 volt generator. falling water from the reservoir that spins and powers the 1a6/ huge butterfly valve which permits the water to flow from the turbine weighing 2,000 tons the parts were shipped on 60 rail cars. the parts were lifted by cable way out over the canyon and down to the power house. parts dissended into the gorge were familiar and almost

general has been shot and killed there. one of the highest-ranking war deaths since 9/11 back in 2011. so it happened just outside of kabul at a training facility for military officers. basically, as we've been talking to reporters, calling it the afghan version of our west point where future military leaders within afghanistan are supposed to be trained. now, this american general who has yet to be identified, this general was shot by an assailant, by this gunman believed to have been an afghan soldier. up to 15 others, including other americans were wounded in that attack. we were told that the assailant was killed. in the united states we heard from the spokesperson at the pentagon, john kirby, today insisting that the shooting does not take away from the recent progress made by afghan military forces. take a listen. >> i've seen no indication that there's a degradation of trust between coalition members and their afghan counterparts. i -- and i would encourage you to certainly speak to folks that are over there in afgha

they think of themselves as a generation. they use the word generation. we speak for a generation. so cranston's when the muslim brotherhood and got their candidates elected president in summer of 2012 in egypt, this was kind of a fluke. it wasn't that the majority wanted the muslim brotherhood to roll the. the guy who was running against the muslim brotherhood was mubarak's last prime minister. a man of the old regime. ballpark was like a father to me. even if that were true would you really want to run on that? so he didn't have the sense god gave him. the muslim brother died out and. that was the way. but then he proved recently on popular in his policies. and he came into conflict with the use. at one point he declared himself above the law. and so the youth mobilize to get rid of them. then some help from the military, but there weren't a lot of people. and so one of the supporters of the muslim brotherhood, an egyptian cleric had to run away from the old socialist regime. and his son, one of his sons was one of the leaders of the movement against morrissey. and the two exchan

general sirell has served in vermont as the attorney general there since -- i'm trying to remember, in june of -- >> 1997. >> -- 1993. i knew it was -- 1997. i knew it was about 13 years that we served together. before that he was a prosecutor and distinguished law enforcement officer. he received the national association of attorney general kelly weimann award given annually to the outstanding attorney general and served as president of that organization for a year between 2004 and 2005. he is a graduate of the university of notre dame, magna cum laude, and cornell law school. and i know he knows a lot about this subject because i've worked with him on it, and appreciate your being with us today. travis leblanc who is the acting chief of the enforcement bureau of the federal communications commission is a graduate of princeton university and the yale law school among other institutions. and has served before his present position in the california attorney general's office as special assistant attorney general in charge of the enforcement bureau. i'm sorry, as special assistant attorne

, he was a political general, a german immigrant, he was made a general because he could bring in germans, he was from st. louis. he was the one who had the not very good experience at new market on may 15th, where he outnumbered the confederate troops and lost when the entire corps of v.m.i. cadets came up from lexington and defeated sigel, unofficially known as the flying dutchman. sigel fled martinsburg and harpers ferry and they had a nice 4th of july, the southern troops did, eating all the yankees' food and drinking whatever beverages they found. the next day on july 5th, they crossed over the potomac river into maryland. this is the third invasion of the north by confederate troops. 1862, 1863, into what will be the battle of monacacy in 1864. seagal fled to the other side of the river from harpers ferry and were pretty well embedded up there. early thought about going after them, but he didn't. he made a right turn, now 50 miles from washington, d.c. and they did rest for a couple of days in maryland. then he headed towards washington, d.c. jubal was quite a character, to say the
