we're very fortunate to have organized with george washington university, university of cape town and partners of mozack bmb as we were able to identify this shipwreck. one of the key features is some of the archival research revealed that in fact there were 1,400 battle stones on this ship. they were used to offset the human weight. and we know in fact they were bow stones on the ship because we found them in the ocean floor. so we're able to feature those. one thing visitors will note is we do not have images in this space. in fact we chose to allow the first person voice to carry the space. we wanted those who went through this experience to speak for themselves. can while we talk about this human story, the human story extends to everybody. so you'll hear voices of those who were enslaved, but you'll also hear crew members. you'll hear voices of slave ship surgeons all discussing, in fact, the horrors of this experience. but also understand, again, there's an important understanding of the resistance, the resilience and the survival. we think of human suffering, but you actually h

the smoke side is the adjunct professor at george washington university he says the u.s. could turn a blind eye to the turkish military operation there's certainly a domestic component to all the rhetoric coming out of turkey and even here in washington there's an understanding of why president early one needs to conduct this military operation in fact i would go as far as saying and there there might be even a tacit acceptance that as long as circus troops remain on the west bank of the euphrates river that washington might decide to look the other way and not come to the assistance of its kurdish allies on the ground now if turkey decides to cross the river to the east side that's a whole different story because that's where u.s. national interests are at stake i think washington after quite some time president trump coming into office articulated a syria policy one that aims to preserve u.s. gains in syria the u.s. had been involved in trying to push i think out and now that they have they want to hold on to the territory that they and their allies have and also to try

she's an associate professor in american studies and political science at george washington university good to have you with us so from a political perspective going forward do you expect that there will be you know a little more consensus at least on economic issues he mentioned a lot of positive data that does seem to indicate an improving american economic environment. well i think the question is regarding economics what is being improved and who does it benefit so we do see that g.d.p. is up employment is down iron excuse me unemployment is down which are positives but wages really are not increasing in the way that trump suggested so we're actually seeing widening levels of inequality because many of the benefits for g.d.p. are going to corporations and to people who invest in stocks which is less than half of the american population we see that tax cuts that were just enacted by the vast majority of them benefit the wealthy in the united states and benefit also corporations so while the numbers tell one story there's also another story about who might not be benefiting as much f

for us she's an associate professor in american studies and political science at george washington university so welcome back is this the speech that's left the country and obviously congress going forward more united. well i think the hope and certainly trumps hope was that this country was going to be more united after his speech and you could see in his more conciliatory and calm demeanor that he was hoping that might do some of the uniting work but this speech in fact was actually a list of many of trump's positions that are quite hard right and i don't think that there are many democrats and even moderate republicans who are going to be behind many of these policies the one policy that he was really hoping would unite the country around infrastructure was basically something that he was not even promising to find in a serious way and he wanted to mostly be done by private companies rather than the federal government so even that particular issue which could have been unifying really left a lot of the democrats stone faced and not interested in joining over with him he painted a much rosi

jonathan turley is from george washington university. good to see you as always. they have every right. the president has to, according to article 2, make a statement about the state of the union. but there's no rules about who has to attend, right? >> right. there's not even a rule that he has to attend. many -- for many years it was a written statement. some presidents like thomas jefferson didn't like it as a speech. they felt it was too monarchical and didn't like the feel of it. woodrow wilson brought back giving the speech in person. so it's not required that members attend. having said that, it's a long tradition. this is all three branches coming together at one place at one time much like the inauguration. the members have to establish between the office holder and the office. he's there representing the executive branch. they represent not just the legislative branch but their constituents, which include trump supporters and trump opponents. but what is missing here is this idea that there are very few occasions where we come together as a unified govern

here now, jonathan turley, constitutional attorney at george washington university.ood to see you. first off, does the president have a case? >> not really. this is a very unlikely type of challenge if it was ever actually brought into court. he is asking for a prior restraint in the strongest case, it has a low likelihood of success. this is not a particularly strong case. much of what has been attributed to mr. bannon is opinion. more importantly, this is the scourge of washington. tell-all books have been around since the early republic. i don't blame the president for being upset with people like bannon who leave service and immediately dump on the administration. but he does have first amendment rights, and i think this is going to create rather bad optics with little chance of success. >> sandra: one important distinction that you make in your column, regardless of whether the president has a case, when you read through that link the letter, trump's personal lawyers, it is putting steve bannon on notice. >> it is. in some ways, the attorney, and sending this le
