i loved learning about the hudson river school painters in the hudson valley.i loved learning about washington, irving and and rip van winkle and all of those stories. but i honestly didn't know that this was actually even happening. if i saw references to black people, i thought they were free black people, but i didn't really think much about it. you know, hard to know that something is hidden if if you didn't know it was there in the first place, you're looking for something. don't even know, is there? so that's a ha that's the that was the hard about that is that i think if i had been born 20 years after that i probably would have been a little bit more cognizant of what might have been for colonial history, you know and do you still have a lot of family in the dutch side of your family who you talk to about this? yes. what kind of reaction did did you get them? everybody has been wonderful and supportive. have to remember that this is also because i'm such a small town person. oh, the fact. of someone from a small town writing a book in itself is is like,

dog barks the lengthening period when the hudson bay dog barks the lengthening period when the hudson's port in particular. currently, it's operational for a season that's just three months long before it shuts down for the long winter. that's why the new marine observatory that opened in summer 2024 is studying water from the bay inside the lab. you can bring the hudson bay inside, put it in two pools... yes. ..and then change the conditions and see what happens. we can do all kinds of controlled experimental studies looking into changes in the arctic and what are the implications. one implication of a less icy hudson bay is a longer season for the port, more ships coming in and out of churchill. the team here plans to study what that could mean for the environment, including what would happen if any vessel spilt oil in the cold bay. so, you are going to spill oil in this pool and then test clean—up approaches. exactly. what we don't know is, what if all these technologies that we develop for open ocean, for warmer ocean... are they effective in colder regions? our next experiment is

you will remember that the incident on the hudson where they had a bird strike incident on an airbus they had exactly this sort of situation where they had a double flameout and had to make an immediate landing, in that case on the hudson river. it is early days at the moment in the incident inquiry. i don't want to speculate about what i think the course was, but it is possible they may have had some kind of double engine flameout which caused them not to extend the gear but to go for an orderly landing as far as they could see. it looks to me that the speed at which they were proceeding down the runway was almost take—off speed so it is almost take—off speed so it is a very high speed. almost take-off speed so it is a very high speed.— almost take-off speed so it is a very high speed. why would that have _ a very high speed. why would that have been? _ a very high speed. why would that have been? why - a very high speed. why would that have been? why would i a very high speed. why would that have been? why would it have been so fast, was it because the wheels went down and the flap

i first thank the hudson institute for host thing forum. i'm so delighted to join you and pleased that many korean companies are represented here today, along with many european friends. to me, this work is truly a work of defense industry. on tuesday, i had the pleasure of visiting the ausa 2024 meeting and expedition, to see the exciting ways that modern technology is being deployed to advance military equipment. the korean peninsula in particular, an exceptional display of fascinating products produced by korean defense industry. as our economic partnership continues to flourish, they have played an instrumental role in developing key industries and advancing technologies here in the united states. we are at the moment in global insecurity. each morning, we wake up to news of strikes and bombardments in the middle east. russian or ukrainian advancement. most korean soldiers on the russian front in ukraine or china's air and sea maneuvers nearby. russia's invasion of ukraine reminded us how vulnerable nations are to their aggressive neigh

hudson is known for starting on time so we're going to do that today. and it is a pleasure to be here this morning, and i'm very grateful for those of you who are here in person and those of you listening online. we have here today representatives from the united states and some of our closest allies and partners. we're here because unfortunately with the wars in the middle east and europe we've been reminded that we must be prepared to protect our interests with military force should deterrence fail and we have seen what happens when deterrence fails. tragedy, death, destruction. and both of these conflicts have shown us in real time the importance of scale and adaptability and cooperation in defense production. allies are emptying their munitions stockpiles. demand for ships and aircraft outstrip supplies. demand for, as i said, munitions. at the same time, the proliferation of technology has allowed our adversaries to render long standing weapons systems, if not obsolete, at least degraded in their capabilities. allies will need to combine their indu

i put it up there with "hundred year marathon," by another hudson fellow, right? if you have not read that book, "decisive decade," you need to get it and read it. the best way to look at the current leadership of china is to go back and study the jin dynasty. the authoritarian regime that is influenced by the imperial history of china as well as the communist ideology. they adhere to that sun tzu magna that two tigers cannot live on top of the same mountain. derrico is to unseat the united states. they have invaded our infrastructure, which is under homeland, protecting our water, dams, all those things that are really important, critical infrastructure. the department of homeland security has the department that has the responsibility of protecting them. telecommunications has this unique authority to protect the. gop domain. -- the .gov domain. we are in the space between the paradigm that the private sector will protect itself and how in the hell do we expect microsoft and google to protect themselves against a nationstate? that is what they are going up again

so they started whaling from 100 miles up the hudson river on hut in hudson, new york. and you ever go to art's in new york? you'll see that their street signs have little whales on them. and so there's a reason for that. anyway, they brought back with them this protest. and one of the papers, the hudson, be published, the protest, and prefaced it with a paragraph that was written by the editor i'm going to read that to you now because i just love i we request attention of the reader to the following account of the almost unparalleled and gratitude and treachery of the crew of a british ship, to the crew of an american vessel, the latter having saved lives of the former, whose vessel had been wrecked. and they, in return th humane act seized and made prize of the vessel and property of their preservers, were it not that such a nation as britain, this act treachery might be correctly styled, unpai paralleled. but british history full of incidents of, such black ingratite. i'm sorry if any of your currently british don't worry the american. every country has history that

he had the perfect trajectory and miracle on the hudson and there was a different thing the pilot his both sully and giles had the airplane under control when they landed on the hudson. by all sights on the video the plane was under control when it touched down. it touched far down the runway and that airplane would float at the speeds that they probably have been flying with the flaps and the configuration that they were, and that's why it continued to that barrier and we had that awful ending to that story. >> yeah. it's -- it is heartbreaking, tragic, to say the least. to your point, les, it is head scratching and there will be a lot of investigation into this one. les, thank you so much for your insights. appreciate you. >>> promises, promises. by one count, donald trump has made 59 of them for what he'll get done for his first day in office. how many of these will happen ahead. of these will happen ahead. n i talk to? can this be treated? stop typing. start talking to a specialized urologist. because it could be peyronie's disease, or pd. it's a medical condition where there is a

edward: it's great to be back at hudson, and i appreciate you letting me step in last-minute to pinch-hit, or as the canadians might say, to lace up my skates. [laughter] but i really want to thank you and heather for focusing on this issue. it is absolutely critical, and i know that the tagline is friends tell friends the truth. as lisa was mentioning, we've got a ways to go on that front. the canadian government had an emissions-cap policy introduced this week, a cap on production. meanwhile we had the united states it's fair to say embracing its energy resources as part of the election results. as you mentioned, i'm the director of public policy at tc energy. i've been there for a year and a quarter. previously i served as executive vice president at the u.s. development finance corporation, a lot of investing and developing world, a lot of energy resources because it's so fundamental to countries' development. i was on capitol hill for longer than i care to admit. but tc energy, for those that don't know, we are really unique. we are a natural gas pipelines across canada, the united s

hudson bay's bears face starvation.re time on land, bringing them closer to people. 0ur science correspondent, victoria gill, reports. there's a polar bear under our tundra buggy right now. he's very curious about us. at the height of polar bear season in churchill, manitoba, conservation scientists are out on the tundra, monitoring one of the most southerly polar bear populations in the world. yeah, the bears want to stay with the ice. the bears are waiting for the bay to freeze, so that they can use it as a platform to hunt seals. but as the climate warms up here, the bears are having to wait for longer. so we've lost almost about 50% of these polar bears in the last several decades, and we've tied that to these bears are on land about a month longer than their grandparents were. in the long term, this threatens the survival of this polar bear population, but in the short term, it means these bears are getting hungrier. the longer they're on shore, the longer they're fasting, and the longer they might need to start lo

congressman joel rur of the hudson institute? i just wondered if you could given that there's a change in the balance in congress with the, with the senate now coming under republican control. could you describe what do you think, what's been pending? what's been, what's been jammed up? let's say what legislative priorities or are there specific important pieces of legislation that maybe have not made it through over the last couple of sessions of congress that might be opened up in the new congress? what would you expect to be sort of the first things through if the log jam breaks, it's a new -- quick it is a new world and that very significant legislation, the assad anti recognition act 300. it was bipartisan, so much of this was bipartisan, but for some reason, the senate bogged it down. 330 votes to not have a recognition and normalization of relations. and so it's been held up um inconceivably to me uh in the uh in the senate, but that's symbolic of so much legislation. some related to the supporting the people of the republ

john hudson and it was 600 pages of letters that. we ended up 9 hours of recording, 9 hours of of recordings. but he's kind of like the hawkeye of the of the group and there's no incentive for him toe any, any lines or anything like because he's going to do his time and and get out and he had this premonition, it seems that something was going to happen and he got these two dentists up speed on on triage and mass events and put them through a little a little training on, hey, if something happens, this is what we're going to this is what we're to do, kind of outside the normal realm of training. but but he he left behind a wonderful wife who helped us with all this. and it's on will, who is just an incredible human being, went to two of our events, nine months old or he was nine months old, so we never knew his his father. and of course, that's not story unique to them. that happens. all of our wars have have sons that they grow up without fathers and with empty seats at that dinner table so but that one made me tell the the part was

pope claimed that one reason the hudson's bay wanted to avoid permanent settlement in the region was that it would push out the, quote, half, as he called them, upon whom the company relied to actually supply their principal product at low cost. and what pope meant by this was mixed race, indigenous and white or european peoples who populated of the region because the british and the french before them had actually encouraged as a way of solidifying bonds between european traders and their native suppliers, a policy often benefited native peoples who could use their mixed status to negotiate for better prices, better trade goods, and even some degree of independence from the imperial trade networks that they supply side american, indian policy. by this point in the 19th century looked vastly different from the extractive colonial ism that preceded the arrival the anglo-american settlers to the northern plains. because american settlers, by contrast, were settler colonists who sought to settle and displace native people from the lands that they desired for their own use. it could be d

green could he's a hudson institute senior fellow and the founder of the decisive decade.so much for being here. i enjoyed the interview very much, thank you for that, what struck you most with your interview about mark green. i had a great discussion with mark green we covered a wide range of threats to u.s. homeland security and 70 he worked for years on china's willful grand strategy and the general economic plans. what i've come to appreciate more recently is how serious the threat is to u.s. homeland security whether cybersecurity, critical infrastructure, fentanyl or the threat on the southern border. the flooding of our market with critical products that would create dependencies that we don't need. we're going to have to have a robust homeland security response to this. the other thing, back when china's vision of victory came out, people used to say this is a long-term thing over the horizon this is no longer long-term threat for the people's republic of china. it is right here and right now. the new trump administration will come in with a much more active aggres
