grant could. i felt grant's presidency had been portrayed as a failed presidency and i think in many ways it was successful in terms of protecting african american communities in the south. to the extent the book had a revisionist vent, i thought there would be more resistance but people accepted the portrait of grant more readily than i thought would happen. so i'm happy for that although i was surprised. colleen: please join me in thanking ron chernow.

well grant we have had the devil's own day have we not grant? yes grant replied, but we will like them tomorrow. grant was right. instead of being finished off the next day, the union launched a furious counterattack and drove the confederate army back to its original position. later in the war sherman summed up his friendship with grant for a reporter. general grant is a great general he said, i know him well. he stood behind me when i was crazy and i stood behind him when he was drunk. now sir we stand by each other always. that is grant and sherman. now i'm going to go to the conclusion which is -- the more i think about this book, the more i become interested in the different ways we write history. i do think there is no -- anew kind of writing history that is growing up in this country that is exciting. i do think that more historians are including peoples intimate lives rather than just the monumental parts and the big inventions. there are many historians who are doing this. who are actually taking you to the place and let you be in the s

>> next, on the civil war. 198 anniversary of ulysses-esque grants birthday, the grant monument association holds a discussion between general david petraeus and elizabeth samet. this event took place online. >> good evening. on behalf of the grand monument association, welcome to this special online program to mark president ulysses s grant's 198th birthday. the grant monument association is a nonprofit organized in the 1990's as a successor to the organization of the same name that originally built and administered grant's tomb in new york city until it was transferred to the national park service. the gma is dedicated to the preservation of grant's tomb, the largest monument in the western hemisphere. grant, the principal author of union victory in the civil war, and our nation's 18th president. we revived the gma tradition to commemorate grant's birthday with a dinner in new york city. the program each year has been an educational one, highlighted by a hollow -- a colloquy in which general david petraeus interviews a historian about different aspects of grant's story. another celebratio

grant.f all the drunken generals, who fought during the civil war, and there were many, the one who most famously battled the bottle was ulysses s. grant. born the son of a leather goods producer in ohio, grant was sent to west point where he graduated in the bottom half of his class. at west point, he fell in love with his roommate's sister, julia dent. he proposed, she demurred. he proposed, she asked for more time. his father disapproved of julia. her parents disapproved of him. after a four-your courtship, he won her over. the couple adored each other. they had four children. almost 40 years later, grant's dying act was to finish his great autobiography, personal memoirs of ulysses s. grant so they could be supported after he died. a soldier's life is not his own, and grant was posted from camp to camp, finally ending up in ft. humboldt in california. here with his beloved wife and family far away, his drinking began to catch up with him. there was plenty of tolerance for drinking in the

grant is heading out on horseback. somebody reminded that he hasn't told the secretary of war about the surrender. grant wrote a message to secretary stanton informing him had gone on. his account of the proceedings, john gordon speech becausea federalist have been so liberal, his personalt was honor that the confederates will get liberal interpretation to every question. gordon sat down and he remarked propose a will surrender to include all troops belonging to the army except 20 milesary beyond from appomattox courthouse at a surrender. this proposition wasn't once consent.by unanimous officersngstreet saff t.j. goree from texas. this tooouraged to do by general longstreet who had decided propose this route for himself. up hisl break headquarters on april 11th. before raiding on, he will say farewell to some of the officers. is goingptain gordon to wait. general lee is about to take parts of richmond. his old officers called his headquarters to bid him good-bye. as general lee passed around, he had some pleasant rema

but for her and her family and for so many people who knew grant, who served with grant, memorial day is a day when his memory is particularly honored. mr. president, before i get into sharon long's story as well as the remarkable story of her son grant, let me talk a little bit about what's going on in alaska right now, as we and our country continue to face the challenges of this pandemic. we're doing pretty we will in our state -- medically, certainly. things could of course change quickly. but the number of people infected by the virus is very slow. businesses are starting to reopen. life by no means is back to normal. and there's much that we're going to need to do to recover from this virus and pandemic, which has very, very negatively impacted so many parts of the great state of alaska's economy. the energy sector, the tourism sector, fishery sector -- we will get through this stronger and more resilient, but it's a challenging time. mr. president, as you know, memorial day weekend commemorates many virtues of our nation -- service, selflessness and, of course, sacrifice. but m

recipients accountable for failing to disclose their foreign ties on federal grant applications. this isn't just about more arrests either. we should all agree that transparency and honesty on grant applications are critical to the research and that will help promote these principles and other changes as well based on the report. requiring the omb to streamline grant making between the agencies so there's needed accountability and transparency when it comes to tracking the billions of dollars of taxpayer funds in grant money that's being distributed. we've work closely with nfs, departments and others on legislation and they agree this is important. and it allows the state department to deny visas to those seeking to access u.s. research when there's threat to our economic or national security. this may surprise you, but they can't do that now. career foreign service officers, employees of the state department, have begged us for that authority. our bill also requires research institutions to have safeguards in place to prohibit unauthorized access to sensitive research because w

amazingly failing to disclose on a grant application to receive u.s. taxpayer funds that you are receiving compensation from a foreign government and giving them research is not currently a crime. that needs to change. one example of the emery university professor, according to the law, only committed tax fraud while arkansas professor committed wire fraud. the fact they are technically only financial crimes show that we're still just nibbling around the edges of this problem. it's time for us to get at the underlying flaw in our research enterprise of talent programs enticing researchers here in the u.s. to steal for other countries. we're going to need targeted legislation that will take direct action against this practice and that's exactly what we have done. along with a group of colleagues cliewg democrat tom -- including tom carper, we are introducing the sawfding innovation act which will build on the e.s.i. report and look at the ongoing i.p. theft going on. it will help the d.o.j. go after thousand tall enlts participants by allowing d.o.g. to

grant? the reason there wasn't is because the south did a much better job in the literary war than they did in the actual war. there were a lot of historians who were pro-south. who wrote histories that celebrated the south. one of the biggest strategies was to tear down grant and make grant look like a bad president, a butcher and a drunk and elevate robert lee as a saintly figure. i say grant got granted himself. in the civil war, he had amazing resources. but in the literary war, it was the south with the amazing resources, and of course, grant was a terrific general. the southern historians were all calculating writers as well. they overwhelmed grant's book. for decades, that book was one that writers respected and that readers liked, but in terms of defining grant as a general and president, it did not have the impact you would expect. it's only more recently they have seen grant's true eputation. if you are a president and you want to write a book that defends yourself, history says wr

officer grant was only 33 years old. my thoughts are with her family as they deal with this tragic loss. although these heroic officers were taken from us, their examples can never be taken away and will not be. ohioans are going to remember them as models of graifery and service -- bravery and service, as it examples of fellow citizens who were in the habit of walking into danger rather than running away from it. in our history more than 24,000 police officers died in the line of duty. 24,000. serving as an officer is a dangerous job. we have legislation that we think would help save the lives of some of those officers who put themselves in harm's way. i was proud to join colleagues last year in sponsoring legislation called the back the blue act. it's very simple. it says if you target law enforcement officers, you're going to pay a very, very high price. that's appropriate. we think back the blue act which would increase penalties on those who would attempt to harm or kill a police officer is going to make a differenc

this has to do with a foreign grant program. united states money being shipped overseas in order to address some issue, in this case it is putting the spread of hiv and aids. because congress is of the view that prostitution and sex trafficking are an important vehicle in spreading these diseases, what congress did was added a clause to its statutory grant, saying you're not eligible to receive grant unless you have a policy explicitly opposing sex trafficking and prostitution. said we object to having that policy, we would like to be in charge of our own policies, and we think it violates our first amendment rights to say we are not eligible for this money unless we have the government policy. the supreme court by a six-to vote said that is right -- by a 6-2 vote said that is right. the case went back down to the lower courts and the grantee side said wait a second, it is not just us. we have foreign affiliates who are receiving the money as some grantees or contractors with us. we think they should not be subject to the policy

are your clients grant recipients that are currently receiving grants, who currently worked through the affiliate and they have not taken this pledge, or have they not received grants and want to work with the foreign affiliates? i am not sure the status of what the government has been doing or has not been doing. >> these organizations are the same organizations that were before the court but a smaller group because the rest of the clients are too small to have global networks. we are talking about those before the court that of the large international entities like kerry and save the children and world vision and pathfinder that are the ones with their own affiliates overseas. these organizations receive money here in the united states and receive money through the locally incorporated affiliates. care which is the example of what we have been using the u.s. entity receives all of the u.s. grant money under this program and sub grants to the local affiliates so in the case of care, it's done that under objection. it asserts that it should be free of this policy requirement and it beli

so challenges exist on both the loan and grant program under eidl. and then we provided debt reli relief. for those who have microloans or 7-a loans or 504 loans under the s.b.a. six months of relief. and quite frankly, we don't know a lot about how that program has been working. we don't have much information about it. that's what we did eight weeks ago and then supplemented it with some additional funds. what should we do now? the senate is not finished -- the senate has not finished its work as it relates to helping the small businesses of america. we still have work that we need to do. first and foremost, we need to have transparency and data related to how these programs are working. expediency does not excuse transparency and accountability. yes, we wanted to get the money out welcomely, and we got the money out quickly under the p.p.p. program. that was our desire. but we need to have the transparency and we need to have accountability. we need to get the geographical information, including how many loans have been given in the traditionally u

this information was crucial to grant. it confirmed for him -- we talked about this just now in the panel on grant and his war attrition. this information confirmed for grant during a time at which he was under a lot of public criticism in the north for the high casualties and lack of decisive victories, it confirmed for him that his plan was working. his grand strategy was working. the siege was draining confederate resources. van lew told him it was. it was sapping rebel morale. just how much the federal high command valued these insights is revealed by staff officers who have wrote that grant was so eager for news from richmond that he would meet in person with van lew scouts. one of the favorite topics of conversation around the fire at night was the latest news from the richmond underground. van lew was in almost daily contact with grant. that's how effective her spy ring was. moreover, the work of the richmond underground influenced public opinion in the north and in the south. there's ripples of influence we can tra

grant colfax: good afternoon. i'm dr. grant colfax, director of health for the city and county of san francisco, and thank you, mayor breed. as of today, there are 1,994 san francisco residents who have confirmed cases of covid-19, and sadly a total of 35 san franciscans have died of the disease. while even one death is too many, i want to also stress to san franciscans that by flattening the curve over these past two months, these past two long months, you have indeed saved lives. san francisco's mortality rate due to covid-19 is four times less than that of los angeles and a remarkable 35 times less than new york city's. thank you, san francisco, for doing everything you can to slow the spread of the coronavirus here in san francisco and in the bay area as a whole. you have truly protected each other and you have protected populations who are most vulnerable during the pandemic. and today i would like to talk about our path, our shared path, our shared journey to recovery. we are anticipating, as the mayor mentioned, an

he surrenders to general grant. i think robert ealy is surprised by the terms he gets from grant. unanimousant's gesture there -- magnanimous gesture there is overlooked in the reconciliation of the country. so lee has to stick around appomattox. three days after he surrenders he sets out from appomattox writing traveler, his famous boars -- his famous horse. he makes his way back to richmond, virginia. this is the site he beholds. he did not see this personally because he was down in petersburg, but the confederates set the town fire when they were evacuating, when richmond fell. that is the virginia state capital, the old capital of the confederacy right there in the middle. leee days later, robert e is going to pull up at the river and look at the scene of desolation. he is not going to have a big calvert cave with them -- cavalcade with them. he is going to have one staff officer, his son, one wagon coming behind him stamped u.s. on the side. it served as his headquarters wagon. wagon and leeat on horseback or going to wind their way through the streets of richmond, up main st

the total grant amount is approximately $480,000. it's addressing a little over half an acre of impervious area, just off of 19th avenue, if you know where the school is located. and just on one note, this project does include the first, to our knowledge, the first basketball court with what will be permeable paving uses for that number sport facility. otherwise it includes a mix of features that are common to the grant structure projects, including bioretention and rain harvesting and i will stop there and answer any questions. thank you. >> commissioners, any questions? >> yeah, i have a question. i'm excited about this project. thank you for keeping these programs and projects moving forward, greg. i have a question. this is exciting about the basketball court. i want to make sure that you'll be testing it in order to come back at a future date with a recommendation on whether we can really roll that out more broadly city-wide or if there are problems with water retention, what have you, but that seems like a good opportunity for

transparency and honesty on grant applications is critical to the integrity of the u.s. research enterprise and to stopping this theft. so that's in our legislation. number two, despite more than $150 billion in taxpayer funding going to these federal research agencies every year, there is no unified tracking process to determine where these funds go. the national science foundation, for instance, doesn't have anyone that handles grant oversight. again, we've been too laxed. that's why the bill requires the federal office of management and budget, o.m.b., to streamline and coordinate grant making between the agencies to ensure that the billions of dollars of taxpayer dollars going toward research every year can be accounted for every step of the way. having this information is also going to save time and money for our research institutions and our universities. they'll now know where the funding is, where it's going, how it's being used. third, the state department is on the front lines here in vetting visa applications for visiting scholars and visiting students. but it
