are at georgetown. that is what we argued and i think it was an extraordinary brief. obviously the decision of the court was very much at odds with who we are as a school. >> georgetown has also come forward in a way other schools have but not entirely and that is to talk about the legacy of slavery. how does that fit within the conversation because i think for some people, it is stunning to think of an institution is actually having a history of slavery as well but georgetown became very public about it. >> that is right. and i think actually many of the historic schools in the united states have a legacy of ownership of enslaved people or their endowment is funded by wealth from people who had enslaved people. one thing georgetown has done which i think is really unique is still not. >> there is a lot to be said about owning it. >> so georgetown owned, the jesuits who ran georgetown owned 272 enslaved people who they sold. integrally the most horrific conditions in louisiana and texas in order really

at georgetown, i teach about u.s.tory generally from the civil war to the present, mostly on the 20th century but my specialty is the most labor and working-class history. >> how long have you been at georgetown? >> i got there at 9099. >> prior to that? >> upstate new york at the university campus outside of rochester. >> and when and why did you get interested in working-class historyon? >> that's a great question. i didn't know that i would have this interest when i went to college. i thought i would be a doctor. i studied chemistry and i was premed but i happened to have a class with a wonderful historian named nick working on a book then about eugene victor debs who was a union leader and a radical ofal the late 19th and early 20th century. his course was mesmerizing for me, and i took him for another course after that and i found on that stuff more than my chemistry. i just became so interested in it that i changed what i wanted to do. i wanted to be like this guy who is teaching me this stuff which was ringing

and then i remembered it is georgetown and i am married to a georgetown alum. [applause] this is when i normally highlight that i did not get into georgetown. [laughter] it is ok. i'm doing all right. that is a true story. but it is amazing to be here and to be here with both of you. look -- i think that it is an extraordinary time. to be in this country and to really be part of what we are all here to be part of as part of the convention -- there is a lot of sausage making under the hood, of course, as we have gone through pretty immense transition on the campaign. but honestly, the northstar has been the same from the beginning, and i think that really is what has helped everyone, whether you are an organizer for the campaign or you are doing what i am doing. at the end of the day, we had president biden and vice president harris, who have been such extraordinary leaders, historic leaders, but have always stayed laser focused on delivering to the american people and making sure that we never lost sight of who we were in this work for, why we govern, what we b

i still get to be part of the profession by teaching students at georgetown law school.ot married, became a dad. unfortunately went through a divorce, but eventually started worrying about how i would make it all work. that is when something unexpected happened. in 2013 i walked into a contentious client meeting. we worked through the issue, and by the end of the meeting the now client -- now happy client offered to set me up on a blind date which is how i ended up with kamala harris' phone number. now, for generations, people have debated went to call the person you are being set up with. and never in history has anyone suggested 8:30 a.m. and yet, that is when i dialed. i got kamala's voicemail and i just started rambling. hey, it's doug. i'm on my way to an early meeting. again, its doug. i was trying to grab the words out of the air and just put them back in my mouth. for what seemed like far too many minutes, i hung up. by the way, kamala saved that voicemail and makes me listen to it on every anniversary. [cheers and applause] but that message was not the only unus

alan from georgetown universityy also asks what can the u.s. do to advocate for change and development funding and noting that again back to that idea of accessing finance which is such a critical problem for so many of the pacific island countries and they often voice the bureaucracy and multilateral banks or other international financing is just complicated for smaller countries to deal with so what can the u.s. to do to support greater access to development funds through the un or through the various multilateralal development bank? >> certainly in new york through the undp and other agencies, we are on the board of the undp and unicef and world food program. so we do have a say in how those organizations address issues that develop with countries ande our voice is clearly a voice that is very powerful because in almost all cases we are the largest donors to these organizations so we can speak in a way that is important and i know that we do on a regular basis and that's certainly the case with the international financial institutes as well.

tohe called the office they hadn georgetown. jimmy took the call. his father used codewords -- kill yourself. jimmy and stephen said, no, we are not doing that. do it. and there were some followers who were in the welding who still believed in jim jones. one woman took a knife and killed herself and her children. jimmy and stephen, thinking maybe before he has everybody die, he will do one of his four hours sermons. went racing to the american embassy to see if we can get a helicopter or a small plane, if we can get there, we can stop this. we will stand next to him and save you cannot do this. the embassy was closed no one would talk to him because they thought the temple were a bunch of weird americans doing questionable things. the next morning, the surviving basketball team members in georgetown were arrested by the guyanese police and held on suspicion of murder. it took a long time to get out of there, but it was by sheer luck that the jones boys lived. it was good fortune. they are great, contributing citizens. peter: government response to b

i just went back to do my part at georgetown university and i went back there to do my part speaking for the people of afghanistan who are suffering from a multiplicity of crises. we have just heard about that from political security to intern -- economic, social. it's a complex crisis were on one hand you have gender apartheid converging with climate conflict. it's not true that the taliban has brought peace. as luke discussed in his report. if they are very insecure. people have died indirectly as a result of violence. and indirectly, something people don't talk about. the socioeconomic indicators, especially socio-indicators have gone back to the 1990's where more people are dying as a result of their policies, edicts, and decrees, the last of which was announced, are dying today, because if you stifle women, imprison women, their children suffer. the future of afghanistan and the youth suffer. i think perhaps the only group really speaking up and resisting is the nrf. as a result, we need to, i think, pay attention to the situation in afghanistan. because the implication is not f

the idea of the jonestown would have a basketball team that could go into georgetown and play exhibition games against the guy on the east national team, maybe that will help said jimmy and steven and some of the other young men from jonestown were in georgetown when the big moment came the congressman and a couple members of the news media were killed. jim jones gatheredd everyone together to die as a political gesture and he called the sort of office they had in georgetown and jimmy took the call. his father used code words. kill yourself. and jimmy and steve oh no, we are doing that. do it and there were some followers who were there in the building who still believed in jim jones. one woman took a knife and killed herself and her children. jimmy and steven thinking maybe before he has everybody die in jonestown he will do one of his four hour services and racing to the american embassy to see can we get a helicopter, can we get a small plane? if we can get there we could stop this. we will stand next to him and say no you can't do this. the embassy was closed for the night in no one

there is a quote and i in my institution i should teach had in my building at georgetown university. which began within the age of nations is over. that seems not to be the case. we are in a post- liberal moment. the question i want to place before you and myself as what kind of post liberalism are we going to have? are you going to endorse? are we going to see? i think in some ways to begin this reflection we went to respectively debate a little bit as i mentioned the speaker who will be following me. who i think in many ways like a number of the speakers here over this last couple of days yesterday, and today do pine for something of a lost golden age of liberalism. which for him was 1989. that was the peak year of liberalism that marked the end of his or did not last long. 2001 francis suggested maybe history was not quite done yet. and in 2016 he said, as many people said at seen the age of it was past donald trump was elected president. and so having gone from a confidence about the end of history we see a certain nostalgia for history that has been passed a past that's now hist
