so to say it was the son of and slaved parents who were brought forcibly to haiti in the 1st half of the edge in century or rather brought to stand a man got a less than the richest french colony he grew up on a plantation in the north of the colony and eventually his talents less such that he was brought to the attention of the plantation araki and he became effectively the assistant of the manager of the plant as and he lived for the 1st 50 years of his life until 'd the outbreak of the revolution enslaved to 50 year olds watching this program can take heart that they can become revolutionaries of 50 it's never too late exactly and then when the revolution broke out in 1791 immediately became one of its leaders and rapidly established himself as the. leader of the homa and slave peoples and then he has this meteoric rise becomes a general in the french republic and on the fight the british the spaniards and later on even the french kicks them out of how demanded the french revolution the 2nd but you know i'm going to ask you because the history textbooks i have at school said pitt

commanded an army the kill $15000.00 british troops on haiti what were the british during the. well that's a very good question and it's one that is rather an understudy in in britain but one thing that we know now is that a soon as slavery was abolished in sandman in 70 in 93 and then by the french and 17 months before the british who had a lot of interests in the caribbean region intervened militarily in sand in order to try and help restore slick so between 709479 there is a british occupation of odds of saddam and 2 son has to fight and he fights them and eventually serves them out of the house to another misinformation about bit the bit the younger then what about the american independence leaders as you said rob spear declares the end of slavery in paris and 7094 any help from the united states the americans are divided because they're on the one hand they know that they have slavery in their own country and the american revolution as you know does not take any decisive action against slavery at the same time some of the leaders of the american revolution particularly joh

troops in haiti, in the dominican republic, and in nicaragua. he didn't need -- the united states didn't need to intervene in every country in the caribbean and central america. in a way, it's a little bit like lynching. you don't need to lynch everybody. you lynch some people and that is the lesson that people learn. it is very possible to intimidate. in 1919, wilson, despite his rhetoric he was saying in that moment in versailles crushed results in the dominican republic and in haiti mercilessly. so i would say absolutely no turning point if you look at it from the vantage point of the caribbean and central america. the second point i want to make is that this matters. it isn't just, oh, well, haiti, the dominican republic, let's look at france, let's look at england, what do they say? i would make the strong argument that it is where the united states have latitude, where the u.s. is and you really get a sense of that government and you get a sense of woodrow wilson. if the historians had reprioritized and looked more at wilson's policy in th

to establish stability in haiti. in a way that it didn't feel that need in puerto rico. there's a possibility of being more quote on quote, generous, in puerto rico than in haiti. . ,. . it's interesting to compare policy towards haiti and policy towards the dominican republic. to think about the differences of race there and i think that you can make an argument that policy towards haiti was more paternalistic. then towards the dominican republic. to a certain extent, puerto rico would fall in that spectrum. on the other hand, the ignorance of the administration is even the racial makeup of these countries that they were dominating. makes it difficult to come to any hard and fast conclusions on that. i don't think that puerto rico indicates a shift, or a turning point. i think the overwhelming evidence is that there was a continuity in the american tightening of hijab many in the backyard. and that the problematic granting of citizenship and puerto rico is this just one more tactic along that way. we're ready for mo

>> allison barber is in miami, the little haiti area and why this particular area as a key factor?ning to both of you. so in miami, the haitian american commune, there is a lot of frustration. they feel like neither political party really does enough for the haitian community. some feel like democrats, they take haitian americans for granted. others say republicans simply do not care. there is a lot of pride here for senator harris, and seeing her on the democratic presidential ticket, obviously she is the daughter of a jamaican immigrant and that does not go unnoticed here and i think for the biden campaign, along with the background, with the policy, it will help increase turnout in caribbean communes like little haiti where we are now. and one woman that we spoke to, she supports former vice president joe biden, she fully intends to vote for him, but she is not effusive in her praise for him, she feels like she is not doing enough and there is a long issue in american politics of politicians taking the haitian community for granted, making promises to them, and then not followin

vivian came to us from haiti. when she arrived, she was so weak that we were told she might never walk or talk normally. she now deadlifts as much as the male athletes at our gym, and i assure you that she has no trouble talking. tess is 16, and while she shares her parents' love for the liberal arts, she also has a math gene that seems to have skipped her parents' generation. john peter joined us shortly after the devastating earthquake in haiti, and jesse, who brought him home, still describes the shock on j.p.'s face when he got off the plane in wintertime chicago. once that shock wore off, j.p. assumed the happy-go-lucky attitude that is still his signature trait. liam is smart, strong, and kind, and, to our delight, he still loves watching movies with mom and dad. 10-year-old juliet is already pursuing her goal of becoming an author by writing multiple essays and short stories, including one she recently submitted for publication. and our youngest, regimen, is at home with friends. benjamin has down syndrome,

i was there and my 17-year-old daughter vivian, who is adopted from haiti, all of this was erupting, it was very difficult for her. we wept together in my room and and my children, to this point in their lives, have had the benefit of growing up in a cocoon, where they have not experienced hatred or violence. for vivian to understand there would be a risk to her brother or the son she might have one day of that kind of brutality has been an ongoing conversation. it is a difficult one for us like it is for americans all over the country. >> very personal moment there today. terry moran back with us from the hill again tonight. and terry, we all watched as

my brother-in-law is a missionary in haiti and heidi and the girls just got back from haiti a couple weeks ago. curious if you would share with this committee and with the american people what led you and your husband to make the decision to adopt? it's i think one of the most loving and compassionate decisions any family can make. >> when jessie and i were engaged, we met another couple who had adopted in this instance, a couple who adopted a child with special needs and then we also met another couple who adopted a few children internationally and we decided at that point while we were engaged that at some point in the future we wanted to do that ourselves, and i guess we had imagined initially we would have whatever biological kids that we decided to have and then adopt at the end, but after we had our first daughter emma, we thought why wait. i was expecting tests when we went and got vivian. she and tess function, call them fraternal twins, they're in the same grade. it enriched our family immesh rably. once we adopted vivian, we made the decision to adopt again. so several year

secondly, in haiti, political violence is much, much smaller than it was. thirdly, in bosnia it's a virtual miracle that there has been no return to war and at least there has now been an election. and institutions are beginning are beginning to function. in northern ireland and the middle east we are better off than we were four years ago. there will always be problems in this whole world, but if we're moving in the right direction and america is leading we're better off. >> senator dole, if elected president, what criteria would you use to decide when to send u.s. troops into harm's way? >> well, it -- after world war i we had, you know, the policy of disengagement and world war i and world war ii we had a compulsory engagement policy and now we have a selective engagement policy, we have to determine when our interests are involved and not the united nations interests. he's deployed more troops than any president in history around the world. it's cost us billions and billions of dollars for peacekeeping operation, but these are facts, and it seems to me

there's been violence in haiti as people commemorate the death of a revolutionary leader more than 200 ago antigovernment protesters blocked roads and set fire to tires in the capital port au prince police responded with tear gas has more. they mark the 240th anniversary of the assassination of haiti's pursed independent rulers celine by protesting once again against a government. who had started off with a carnival like atmosphere soon turned violent. police used rubber bullets and tear gas against demonstrators calling for president to step down. protesters blocked roads and set fire to tires in the capital port au prince and started protesting last year against corruption mismanagement of aid money and a rise in inflation majority of haitians live in poverty. the president has been criticized for his handling of the current virus pandemic and denies allegations of corruption i know that you know i'm in the street to demand justice for the underprivileged masses that is my demond we're from the poorer suburbs we assign that we can no longer live like this we're out on the streets to

the crosshairs in the liberal left is attacking her children specifically the two she adopted from haiti. but then with a different than that and said with their it on the court you will never never be able to get insurance. and her health will suffer dramatically. high drama indeed. not just scare tactics by theatrics that clearly also fear mongering. once again chuck schumer is pulling out the playback of one - - the playbook of personal destruction you once again going down the road of attacking personal nominees to the court. joe biden to this as chairman of judiciary committee he did against justice thomas as well as justice alito. he would have thought the democrats would have learned their lesson after the debacle of kavanaugh and that hearing. but about that episode continues to be a black cloud over their heads they lost senate seats as a result. amy coney barrett is an exceptional nobody into a terrific job on the court. she will be a model for many. look at the nominee. she is somebody ready to apply the law, legislate from the bench she was flooded in a bipartisan vote to a l

triggering concerns for the safety of asylum seekers and the possible spread of the coronavirus to haiti. the watchdog group witness at the border has recorded at least 12 deportation flights to haiti this month. this comes as immigrant advocates say black asylum seekers are being disproportionately targeted. earlier this month, nearly 100 -- 60 cameroonian and nearly two dozen congolese asylum seekers were also deported en masse. many alleged eyes agents forced them to sign removal papers. nearly 60 bodies have been found in clandestine mass graves in the state of guanajuato. officials with the national search committee say most of the bodies belong to young people, including teens. violence has skyrocketed in guanajuato due to wars between drug cartels. since the mexican government launched its war on drugs in 2006, abou250,000 people have been killed, nearly 40,000 are still missing, and over 3000 clandestine graves have been discovered. in yemen, the watchdog monitoring group airwars says u.s. drone strikes have killed as many as 154 civilians since president trump took office, inclu

look at haiti, we spent about $3 billion. you got to send down more people because the president found out -- on his own property. so we need more protection for america. bosnia, northern ireland, there's no cease-fire in bosnia. i think there's a lot of problems in bosnia. we agreed to train and arm the muslims so they could defend themselves. a policy in 1992 we haven't done it. we're behind. americans shouldn't have gone there in the first place, had we let them defend themselves, as they have a right to do with the article lvii in the nations charter. >> first of all, i take full responsibility for what happened in somalia but the american people must remember the soldiers were under an american commander when that happened. i believe they did the best they could under the circumstances. hundreds of thousands of lives were saved there. in haiti, political violence is much smaller than it was. thirdly, in boss anywnia, there virtual miracle there's no return of war and there's been an election and the institutions are begi

you'd think that in developing countries like haiti opiah the most important thing would be to build schools hospitals roads and to develop markets reacted to it but unless we succeed in conserving nature and of the climate and the water supply none of that will be needed asa whole starts because people will no longer be living where they live today they have incredible shortly. the situation in the bali mountains is an example of a dilemma affecting many regions of africa there's too little space for both wildlife and humans. and the battle over the last remaining natural areas is getting more intense. competition for dwindling resources is growing. that's why illegal settlements continue to spread in the national park in places where just a short time ago there was nothing but dense rain forest. endangered species have nowhere to go. in many places they live on virtual islands amid a sea of destruction. ethiopia is home to unique creatures found nowhere else on earth. if they were to disappear the world would keep turning but the loss of any single species shows that ecosystems are

next is vivian from haiti. when vivian arrived, she was so weak we were told she might never talk or walk normally, but now she deadlifts as much as the male athletes in our gymnasium and i can tell you she has no trouble talking. seems to have a math gene -- and it seems to have a math gene. and jesse, who describes -- jp described the happy-go-lucky attitude that is still his signature trait. liam is strong, smart, and kind, and it still loves watching movies with mom and dad. 10-year-old juliet is already pursuing her goal of becoming an author by writing multiple essays and short stories, one of which she recently submitted for publication. our youngest, benjamin, is at home with friends. benjamin has down syndrome and is the unanimous favorite of the family. he was calling out our names as he saw the kids in the back. my own siblings are here. some in the searing -- some in this hearing room and some nearby. my kids are my oldest and dearest friends. we have seen them through the hardest parts of life and

and the problem that i identified, when it was iraq and afghanistan or somalia or haiti or others, was a once we had achieved military victory, we then changed our mission we then decided to move to try to bring democracy and reform the governments of those countries. and that's what we ran into failure. >> to watch the rest of this program visit our website booktv.org and do a search for robert gates or the title of his book exercise of power. >> greeting everybody and welcome. my name is sabir sultan. before we launch to a discussion of carl hoffman "liar's circus" and steve bannon's imposture would like to share history about the strain. it was done in 1927. stretch of mean square, the book would wait

secondly, in haiti, political violence as much, much smaller than it was. thirdly, in bosnia, it's a virtual miracle that there has been no return to war, and at least, there has now been in an election. and institutions are beginning to function. in northern ireland, in the middle east, we are better off than we were four years ago. there will always be problems in this whole world, but a four moving in the right direction, and america is leading, or better off. >> senator dole, if elected president, right criteria would you use to decide when the u.s. troops into harm's way? >> well, after world war one, we had, you know, a policy of disengagement. then from world war i to world war ii we had sort of a compulsory engagement policy. and now, i think we have to have a selective engagement policy. we have to determine when our interests are involved, not the united nations interests. and many of the things the president talked about, he turned over to the united nations. they decided. he's deployed more troops than any president in history around the world.

my 17-year-old daughter, adopted from haiti, this was very difficult for her. we wept together in my room, to understand there would be a risk to her brother and the time she might have one day. that kind of brutality has been an ongoing conversation and a difficult one for us. >> reporter: if you don't get enough yesterday, today is round 2, each senator gets 20 minutes, expect barrett to continue to tell senators she has no agenda and you are not getting justice scalia, you're getting justice amy coney barrett. todd: that george floyd line of questioning really stood out. former white house press secretary sarah sanders knows a little bit about being in the spotlight, since judge barrett is handling the interrogation with strength and grace. >> is too smart to take the bait, she ran circles around them. she made them look small and she looked like a highly qualified, strong, independent woman that she was and reminded people what a supreme court justice should look like. the big take away, one of the things we saw as this was wrapping up his justice barrett i

president, held some horrifically racist views about black people in general and haiti in particular.ut we all know that andrew jackson has been your predecessor of choice, a man who signed the indian removal act, oversaw the genocidal trail of tears, and held native americans in camps by the thousands as he awaited forced removal. it seems obvious that jackson has served as your inspiration as you have herded asylum seekers and refugees in detention, deporting them by the thousands and enacting untold cruelty under undignified and damaging conditions as described by the united nations commission of human rights. while most of the presidents who have committed atrocities also achieved amazing things, jefferson, for instance, end up the declaration of independents. roosevelt established the system of national parks. your presidency is nothing but a tall pile of evil and racism dressed up in a maga hat. you have spent your entire life puffing yourself up in an attempt to convince the world that you're the biggest, the best, the toughest. unfortunately for you, mr. president, all those h

she and her husband jesse are raising seven children, two of whom were adopted from haiti and the youngest who has down's syndrome. if there is a mom or a working mom or not who wonders if her perspective is ever spoken to when cases are considered before the supreme court, a justice barrett will bring that perspective to the court. finally, i want to thank judge barrett for her willingness to serve, to accept the nomination to the supreme court is sadly to accept ruthless attacks from partisans seeking to score political points. her nomination was no different. she had been repeatedly attacked for being a practicing catholic. she has every right to live her faith, and no one in public service should be expected to cast aside deeply held religious convictions to satisfy an angry mob fabricating reasons to say no. thank you, judge barrett, for defending her and by extension all of our religious liberty. and i think the balance and the grace that she exhibited during a very difficult two days of being before the committee, but in her life in general i think is testimony to the depth by which

camping trip in south dakota and i was there and my seven-year-old daughter vivian, who was adopted from haiti -- it was very difficult for her. we wept together in my room and it was also difficult for my daughter julia who is 10. i had to try to explain some of this to them. my children to this point in their lives have had the benefit of growing up in a cocoon where they have not yet experienced hatred or violence and for vivian, to understand this could be her brother or the son she might have one day, that kind of brutality has been an ongoing conversation. it's a difficult one for us like it is for americans all over the country. sen. durbin: and so, i would like to ask, as an originalist who has a passion for history -- i can't imagine you can separate the 2 --to reflect on the history of this country. where are we today on the issue with race? some argue it's fine. you don't even have to teach children about the history of slavery or discrimination. others say there's implicit bias in so many aspects of american life that we have to be very candid. others go further and say, no, it's s

next is vivian, who came to us from haiti. when she arrived, she was so weak that we were told she might never talk or walk normally. she now deadlifts as much as the male athletes at our gym, and i assure you that she has no trouble talking. tess is 16, and while she shares her parents' love for the liberal arts, she also has a math gene that seems to have skipped her parents' generation. john peter joined us shortly after the devastating earthquake in haiti, and jesse, who brought him home, still describes the shock on j.p.'s face when he got off the plane in wintertime chicago. once that shock wore off, j.p. assumed the happy-go-lucky attitude that is still his signature trait. liam is smart, strong and kind, and to our delight, he still loves watching movies with mom and dad. 10-year-old juliet is already pursuing her goal of becoming an author by writing multiple essays and short stories, one of which she recently submitted for publication. and our youngest, benjamin, who is at home with friends, benjamin has down syndrom
