what i tried to do in the book was look at the crises that washington faced, the crises that clanton d and the decisions that they made during those crises and what they knew and what they didn't know when they made those decisions. often times i think people sort of read history back wards, they know how it came out, but the actors obviously didn't know that when they made their decision. they didn't know whether it would be a good decision or a bad decision, and they had to just make the decision based on what they knew at that time, so i tried throughout the book, when i looked at the decisions that clanton and washington and nathaniel green and others made, why they made the decisions that they did and what they knew when they made doze ever those decision -- when they mode those decisions -- when they made those decisions. >> what would have been in it for the british to allow for negotiated peace? >> there were many people in england who wanted to get out of the war. it had gone on for a long time. winning the war, there was a fear that they were going to lose all the trade with

fischbach: i thank my colleague from washington for yielding me the time. we hear a lot of talk coming from the other side about this texas law. but i want to talk about the law that we have the -- legislation that we have in for what purpose does of us today and what effects that will have. madam speaker, it should be called the abortion on demand bill because it does nothing to protect women's health. whether it supersedes state's rights and makes any protection for women and unborn children illegal. this bill will override countless protected state laws like parental notice, clinic regulations, and informed consent before an abortion. the abortion on demand act would not only strip states of their rights to protect women and babies, but it would also strip away a parent's right to be involved and informed on their child's health and well-being. what about protecting minors? would states be allowed to ensure parental involvement or even notification? the answer is, of course, no. under this legislation. in fact, it is just the contrary. the bill strips all

want to go to philadelphia where congress is if i do that, washingtonl be forced to defend philadelphia i destroy the american army the value first considers mercy over to philadelphia becauseid that, ift leads to alsod problem have to protect his lines of medication your he was burned 76, early 77 princeton -- campaign washington against them decisive use the mobility of the royal navy is o further amended royal navy loads shifts plan -- let me go back for second. his plan is to vote on shifts take his army by c and ultimately fail going up the chesapeake bay philadelphia so that's his plan. fairly straightforward but obviously thosetf are two very different plans and it's up to jermaine to coordinate these plans. he's got how to the left and burgoyne to the right. the problem is tearing since, there are 3000 miles between london and new york. he got commander-in-chief new york 3000 miles away, burgoyne and jermaine and arthur in london so when you've got messages that can take two to three months to go back and forth across the atlantic, it makes it v

i think washington recognizes that. he sends these two key leaders up there. almost from the moment benedict arnold gets there, he's everywhere, i mean you see this guy, he's right at the forefront. he's giving skyler advice. he's right in the lead. he's leading raids on burgoyne's forces. he's head of the column that's sent to relieve and all that kind of thing. he's the right guy to send up there. this dynamic leader. that's what skyler needed. benjamin lincoln doesn't get as much press, but i think he's also critical to american success at saratoga. he's not one of these guys who is leading an attack, although he's wounded at the end of the first day of the last battle, seriously wounded leading an attack, but that's not -- that wasn't his major role. his major role was to get the lish lsh out -- get the militia out and be the liaison and the commander, skyler and gates the militia. he does a brilliant job at that. daniel morgan is famous, daniel morgan's riflemen, this elite unit that washington sends up there, along with others though, those folks are all

thomas payne, after the war in the 1790's wrote a blistering pamphlet attacking washington and payne argued, i don't agree with payne on this, but payne argued that washington slept in the field, as he put it, and as the real winners of the war were generals horatio gage and nathaniel green. and, but washington was generally inactive during much of that time and clinton was far more active. and he think the most devastating thing, most devastating attack or appraisal of clinton came about almost 75 years ago, but still went by scholars today and many still accepted and it was a study made by clinton's biographer, principal biographer in conjunction with a clinical psychologist, and they argued that clinton sought power, but that he had deep subliminal psychological problems that prevented him from acting on the power that he had. and i think, frankly think the argument is malarky. not that i'm a particular foe of psycho-history, but in this case, they were obviously unable to put clinton on the couch and talk with him, but in addition clinton left behind virtually no private correspondence tha

did he also describe the other washington family members who are present during that their visit? yes, he does and i meant to bring that up earlier bush rod washington comes to mount vernon to dine with them with his wife at that point. he briefly mentioned that the grandchildren are there and then actually they go to the ruins of belvoir plantation washington brings them to see the ruins. and if you're a virginian you might recognize the name belfar is now fort belvoir and that's where some of georgia's best friends in his early life lived george williams and sally fairfax. so samuel brings up the visiting the ruins. he doesn't talk about the fact that it's that it's george williams and sally's house, but i think that's kind of a cool. thing for washington to do it's very personal. it's a very glimpse into his life and then actually the other relatives that he brings up are not at mount vernon, but when they are down going down to westover they stop in fredericksburg and they have dinner with mary ball, washington and betty washington lewis, so i believe that's probably some of the only friends of

i know it's important in trying to trying to serve in washington in either politics or public service. and another thing i would say is that you know, we i tell people i was fortunate enough to be secretary state of the united states at a time when we were omnipotent or almost. i mean, it was a unit polar world wonderful time to be everybody. wanted to get close to uncle whiskers and i went all over the world 91 countries during that four years and everybody admired the united states everybody. wanted to come to the united states. nobody wanted to leave the united states. guess what with all of our troubles today everybody admires you united states some people resent us, but they either admire some resistance. they they all want to come here. everybody wants to come here and nobody wants to leave so i get very tired of listening to people run down this country. and talk about all of our problems. yeah, we got some problems, but we've had big problems in the past and old enough to have lived through some of them and seen them fixed and we can fix any problem because we are the finest b

he's a biographer of george washington and john adams. i can't read the names of the books and awards but i prefer to tell you about john the man. though his parents were from west virginia he grew up in galveston texas according to his biography his mother was college educated in the 1920s, taught school for 11 years until she was banned by west virginia law for marrying. his father attended college on a baseball scholarship in the 1920s but the depression ended his academics. he took a job in texas and they had one son in 1940. john is a bachelor's in houston university and masters in history from baylor university. although he is retired and hasn't stopped him from attending and speaking at seminars and these kind of events lecturing on podcasts and spending time. he and his wife and therefore cats live near atlanta but there's one more thing he likes to share, his love of baseball. the first game he's always 1947 between pittsburgh when jackie robinson scored the winning run. especially to boston to see the red sox. for those of us in n

want to go to philadelphia and if i do that, washington is going to be forced to defend philadelphia and i can trap him and destroy the american army in the rebellion so that first he considers marching to philadelphia but if he does, it could lead to all sorts of problems and protect his lines of communication in new york and of course he was burned in late 76, early 77 with the trenton princeton campaign that washington conducted against him so he uses the mobility of the royal navy brother commanded the navy and he loved his troops on ships and his plan -- let me go back a second. his plan is to load on ships and take his army by c and ultimately they will end up going up the chesapeake bay land south of philadelphia and march on philadelphia so that's plan. again, fairly straightforward but obviously those are two very different plans and it's up to jermaine to coordinate these plans. there's jermaine in the center and he's got how on the left. the problem of course is a tyranny of difference. there's 3000 miles between london and new

with the main american army that i want to go to philadelphia the seat of congress and if i do that washington forced to defend philadelphia and then i can track him and destroy the american army in rebellion so at first he considers marching overland to philadelphia but if he does that it could lead to all sorts of problems he has to protect his lines of communication and w of course it was late 76 early 77 he was burned to the trenton princeton campaign and then to use the mobility of the royal navy so his plan is to load on ships to take the army by speed and to go up the chesapeake bay and the marks on philadelphia. >>or those are two very very different plans and it is up to jermaine there is jermaine —- center and then howell off to the left and then off to the right. so the problem of course there is 3000 miles between london and new york and you have the commander-in-chief in new york sitting 3000 miles away and they are sitting there in london so when you have messages that can take two or three months to go the-and-forth across atlantic it makes it very difficult to coordinate a camp

every argue for a george washington and john adams. i prefer to tell you more about joined although his parents are from west virginia grippingin galveston his mother was college-educated in 1920, taught school 11 years until sheer was beyond in west virginia offer marrying. also attending a baseball scholarship in the twenties took a job and then had one son johnba in 1940. has a bachelors in history from sam humans houston one —- although he is retired it hasn't stopped him from attending and speaking at seminars lecturing on podcast he and his wife carol and the four cats live near atlanta. but there's one more thing he likes to share, his love of baseball. the first was a 1947 between pittsburgh and the brooklyn dodgers when jackie robinson scores the winning run.

thomas paine, after the war wrote a blistering pamphlet attacking washington and i don't agree with pain on this. but paine argued that washington slept in the field as he put it and the real winners of the war were generals horatio, gage, and nathaniel greene. washington was generally an active during much of that time and clinton was far more. i think the most devastating thing attack or appraisal of clinton came about almost 75 years ago. many more still accepted. was a study made by clinton biographer in conjunction with the clinical psychologist. they argued clinton sought power but has deep subliminal psychological problems that prevented him from acting on the power that he had. i think frankly theob argument is malarkey. they were m obviously unable to put clinton on the couch and talk with him. but in addition clinton left behind virtually no private correspondence that would have opened a window to his inner self. i think clinton's reputation suffered from that. there is your kitty.

i. washington had initially claim the strike was necessary to prevent an attack on cobble airport in the final days before the military withdrawal. i am now convinced that as many as 10 civilians, including up to 7 children, were tragically killed in that strike. moreover, we now assess that it is unlikely that the vehicle and those who died were associated with isis k or were a director at to us forces. there was a mistake, and i offer my sincere apology. and here you can see the aftermath of that strike and a residential area of cobbled 3 kilometers from the airport. now, there was a secondary blast, which is now believed to be caused by a propane tank in the driveway. and the us military have so far declined to say whether or not they will be any disciplinary action. oh oh oh. busy the me all right, let's cross block now to senior correspondent, motor gas b, as in kabul motor, the very good morning to you, but if a delay in a transmission is going to take a few seconds for you to hear this, but it turns out this is all horrific miscalculation by the u. s. military with this drone stri

. >> i am marcus washington. our big story this hour, red flag warning punctuating fire concerns here in the bay area. i want to bring in meteorologist, kari hall, with a look at that for us. >> we did have a nice weekend with cooler temperatures and a few spotty showers, but now we are going towards gusting winds and very low humidity. that's the reason why we have the red flag warning that continues until 8:00 this evening. a high fire danger with our very dry vegetation means any fires that spark could spread quickly, so we could have quick-changing conditions for today. this is mainly for the north bay hills and east bay, and as our temperatures head up we are heading towards the 90 this afternoon. we will see the smoke returning in the forecast. let's go hour-by-hour as we look at our relative humidity, one of the critical elements for a red flag warning. we see the relative humidity dropping in the teens and 20s, and then look how dry it gets around napa and fairfield and the north bay hills in the diablo ra

how is it being viewed in washington? well, i think washington is in a state of chaos as, as most people i think can discern washington is very much of the view that it wants to remove itself from the region. the events in afghanistan over the last month clearly indicate that. and mrs had a ripple effect in terms of forcing states in the middle east to reassess their own policies in the region. so we're effectively seeing, i think, primarily as a result of the u. s. withdraw from the middle east. countries in the region reassessing their own interests, old enemies establishing relations with each other. although, you know, gradually we saw this a couple years ago when the tension between saudi arabia and tar started to wither away and the blockade was lifted. we're seeing it in terms of a dialogue between, you know, you iran in saudi arabia. so all of these things are, you know, connected, i think, to these regional realignments. but i think the big event was the one that i just indicated, the you know, by the ministrations decis

there's a real possibility that washington could have gone north. >> right and in fact during the period if i have this right, when howe drove the troops onto ships but he hadn't left yet washington really doesn't know what is he's going to do and in fact washington assumed he was going to meet up with bergoyne and once they sailed washington still doesn't know where they are going. they could be going to newport rhode island or all the way down to charleston. they could be going to delaware to hit the philadelphia so washington is trying to figure out what's happening during a period and when you read his letters during a period is very very frustrated. in fact he says on more than one occasion if only we had something like the royal navy. that provides the british with all sorts of limited mob -- unlimited mobility. washington did talk about moving up the hudson. it was more important to intercept howes. washington was much more focused on what how -- howe would do. it would have been interesting to see so a great question. >> this is the complement from the a member of our audience. your b

washington d. c. organizes of the justice, the j 6 rally. say that i want to show support to those arrested for taking part in the capital riots back in january me. hundreds of people breached the building in a bid to overturn the former president donald trump's election to fate. for more on this story, let's spring in phil laval who's live for us in washington. d. c. phil, this rally shows you to be under way in about an hour's time. what kind of turn out is expected? well, they're expecting officially 700 people. now that's according to the authorities, the number of pilots that people have applied for organized to say they've had about 500 people apply to attend. so fairly low numbers compared to what could be expected. but then again, it's not those people who are bay the rule to apply for private thought. the authorities necessarily need to be concerned about it flows that come with their own attention. those who do not follow the let me show you what's happening right now. so this is the capital here, there is almost them. i hasten to play a fest

i had just come out of about five years steady duty can washington, d.c. as the executive secretary of the department of defense. immediately, i knew it was a terrorist attack there is no doubt in my mind. we knew they were coming and we couldn't figure out how or when but that something big was coming. i knew immediately that we had been hit, even before the second plane hit and before i knew it was an airliner. it was happening when i first heard it was a cessna. i said thank god it's not something figure. the thing that really struck me and i've talked to many military officers and intelligence officers since as well that we failed. the first time we had been attacked on her homeland. the japanese had shelled the oregon coast from a submarine and that was a small thing but this was the first time like it was a sense of absolute failure. this is what we were designed to prevent. it created a very grim mindset for those of us who were going after them. they were going to pay and they were going to learn that they could not scare us, these maniacs. and they

what is washington now looking for head well, i think washington is definitely looking for a strong transatlantic partner. washington recognizes that germany is sort of the de facto leader of europe because of brags it also because of a weak france. there's an election next year in france, but i think, you know, washington will get that. no matter who's chancellor. i do want to reflect a little on the legacy of going chancellor anglo michael. you've been in the berlin office for 10 years now. you've seen how she felt with a number of huge crises, including keeping germany, borders, opened to migrants, protecting the euro, pushing for this, you panoramic relief scheme, is a concern about what happens after how when it comes to the confidence. well, i mean, certainly, and uncle america will go down in the history books no matter what. simply because she was germany's 1st female chancellor. she was germany's 1st chancellor from the former east germany and she may actually be germany as long as serving chancellor. if it takes a long time for there to be a coalition in berlin, so those are going to be
