be to the meteor weird john brown the meteor of the war. well the newspapers pick up on this the eulogists pick up on this his funeral cortez from virginia to north elba new york is described as a transit of the meteor from the place where he dies to the place of his final resting. this is an evocative moment in american history and what you have to remember too is this is a generation that is taught to look for multiple meanings and works of art we have to work at it now. we're much better at doing it in the movies. we can find relevance and resonance. oh that actually means this or that relates to this or this is a veiled metaphor for the other you have to remember that the generation alive during the 1860s was used to doing this with paintings. and so when church paints this media or and then walt whitman who also saw this meteor writes a poem called year of meteors where he talks about the trajectory of john brown and lincoln's ascension to the presidency as being the year of meteors and describes john brown in terms of this particular

the next voice would come from our old friend, john brown. and that's where we will pick up in our next hour. from a museum perspective, we like to think of it as a two football fields of education and entertainment. so it's a great hook for us to get people appreciating and understanding a little bit more, the history of the great lakes. so, we are on the pilot house deck of the colonel james schoonmaker museum ship which is the national museum of the great lakes largest artifact at 618 feet long. the schoonmaker was a commercial freighter from when he was built in 1911 until then went to a long term layup in the early 19 eighties and then became a museum ship in the city of toledo, purchased it from the owner around 1987. her main purpose was to deliver iron ore from the lake superior region down to lake erie to the places like ohio, where was unloaded and put in railroad cars and taken to pittsburgh for the shan angle furnace of company, which owned a fleet of boats in order to support its steelmaking business. at its time, it was the larg

one has to ask, where are the statues of john brown? one has to ask, how is it that we have statues within a short distance of where i stand now honoring those who would enslave but not honoring those who would set the slaves free. one has to ask how do these things happen. one has to also be appreciative of the fact that their removal is almost a certainty now. one has to be appreciative of the fact that there are those among us who have taken up the fight for freedom and they've brought it to the very floor of this house of representatives. i'm grateful to those who have concluded that we must remove the statues of those who would enslave and my prayer is we will replace them with some statues of those who fought to fee the slaves. this is my prayer. continuing with the text. whereas brown began his invasion at harper's ferry, west virginia, but was surrounded and captured by federal troops led by robert e. lee, losing two more sons in the fighting, there are still people alive today who don't want john brown to be celebrated. they do

john brown, oh, yeah! kansas-nebraska really brought peace, didn't it? in my opinion, it will not cease until a crisis not since lawence, because a house divided unto itself cannot stand. the real issue here is not the political disposition of the kansas territory, the real question here is not just the lacompton constitution. the real question here is slavery and freedom. again, lincoln wants to take you back to first principles just as he did in the peoria speech in 1854. let me tell you what's really at stake here, lincoln says. i believe this government cannot endure, permanent half slave and half free. i do not expect the union to be dissolved. i do not expect the house to fall, but i do expect that it will cease to be divided. it will become all one thing or all the other. that's where we are. either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief in the course of ultimate extinction which is when he believed up until kansas, nebraska or its advocates will push it forward to

it all started when i first saw the santa fe trail about john brown's raid on harper's ferry and what a disaster. it is so amazing that hollywood tries to do -- i want to get off my soap books soon i promise but so amazing hollywood tries to turn history into this fanatical fantasy world when the actual history is just as crazy and exciting and thrilling and adventurous and sad and -- thrilling as what hollywood wants to make it. so they need a proper telling of that story. and tell the story of the individuals that participated in that. and not fictionalize it. >> i do feel like some of the mountain men would have had facial hair like me. by the time they marched. >> definitely. >> me or michael right here. so -- >> but the thing with facial hair is if they did have it, it would have been -- wouldn't have been cultivated. >> yes. >> wouldn't have been nicely cultivated. and it would have been -- and eventually they would have shaved at some point. but yeah. >> i appreciate john, you they this is cultivated so i do appreciate that.

gorillas like john brown. had made repeated raids into missouri to see steel slaves in the mid 1850s. they were referred to as jayhawkers. these unionists antislavery. gorillas. what also contributed to this was the fact that in 1861 most americans living in this area around the trans-mississippi west still lived kind of beyond the effective rule of courts and legislatures. they settled their own business. they engaged in some feuding they were not squeamish about implementing vigilante justice and this fueled a lot of their civil war activities these sort of private feuds and vendettas. and as i also noted earlier in the semester, you know, missouri was politically divided. and in that kind of context guerrilla warfare sort of flourishes. and civilians sort of forced to take sides. on september 23rd 1861 the jayhawker jim lane with a small group of men plundered and torched the border town of osceola, missouri interestingly named after a native american chief from florida. in response to this southern men jus

between 1900 and 1915, there was brown, university of chicago, wheaton college, university of washington, johns hopkins, ohio state, university of pennsylvania, nyu, annapolis, west point, wisconsin, michigan, kansas, the list rolls on. between 1900 and 1960, the olmsted firm worked on 180 campuses. as the work poured in, they needed help. talented young men joined the firm. elliot was responsible for the boston regional parks system, later referred to as the emerald necklace. olmsted's oldest son, john charles, and enter the firm by then. the columbian exposition of chicago in 1893, in part inspired by the 1889 exposition in parish, was planned and designed by architects, engineers, boosters from chicago as well as the olmsted firm. largely, it was the vision of daniel burnham and it set in motion the city beautiful movement in american city planning and design. here is the lagoon, rooted islands and pavilions olmsted and his crew produced. on the right, you see an island with a japanese tea house that had a profound influence on frank lloyd wright and others. this was astonishing to people. n

brown was the moderator. they finally brought it to a close. by the end, there was discussion. they went back to the hotel, and johnnn said well i don't think you got too many votes tonight. and willie brown said oh, no, they are going to turn out. i mean they are going to work. the next day tom berkeley, an african american newspaper publisher, people were calling him, wanting to help, and yes, people joined up and worked on the get out the vote campaign. and it was such -- and he went back to oakland the next day. he was supposed to go somewhere else and spoke to the community, and they had a big get out the vote rally. it was a great moment. he understood that you have to listen and be there and be responsive, and of course, in the primary i think he got 96% of the african american vote in oakland, huge voter turnout. that's a good observation. >> it's interesting what i hear you saying, i forgot the way you phrased it earlier, that he came, he did this, and he listened. you know, it seemed like he is continually listening to people who were really willing to tell him in a very aggressive way that he reached som

that's the case where president andrew jackson supposedly said, john marshall has made his decision. now let him enforce it after browne division into arkansas because the governor had ordered the state militia to block the schoolhouse doors. justice breyer thinks the way you maintain the credibility that the people will honor the decisions and today we do. whether it's bush versus gore, the death penalty or abortion, once the supreme court speaks, the people listen. and we follow the decision. >> can i just ask, what do you think the pressure from liberals, what do you think the impact of that is on justice breyer? is he aware that there are people out there who feel this way? >> yeah, look, jus tice breyer pays attention to everything. but just as he is aware of the overriding political climate, i think he's aware of it, but he has the muscle memory of years on the court to put that to the side and make the decision based on his health, what's good for the court, what's good for his family. >> i appreciate you being with us this morning. i'm not sure this will be reassuring to a lot of people on the left who are loo

john lewis voting rights act. has -- if they did that for amy coney barrett, we ought to do it for the lack and brown people that live in texas, georgia, florida, all the states that are trying to make it harder for our constituents to exercise their right to vote. we need to get this done today. time is of the essence, we cannot wait. states are going to start to ramp up these efforts. again, texas -- governor abbott has called the legislator back in session to work on these things. you will see the most racist redistricting that you have seen since the voting rights act outlawed things like at large districts. and we need something to help protect the brave men and women that you see standing behind me today that are risking so much for voting rights in this country. and before i turned it over to the congressman, i just want greg abbott and the republican leaders in texas, florida, georgia and anywhere else to know that we are not going to stop. we are always going to push back against these sort of bigoted, racist jim crow 2.0 style voting laws whenever you decide to bring them up. >> thank you all of you who hav

he was known as the civil rights period at the supreme court starting with brown v board of education. when we look back at john roberts, one of the signature accomplishments and we'll see whether people view it as an accomplishments, but one of the signalure results of the roberts court was destruction of the most important civil rights law in american history, the voting rights act of 1965. because as we've been saying, in 2013, in the shelby county case, the court crippled, ended section five which was the federal oversight provision and now with this decision today, we see the crippling of at least part of section two, which is the law that says the federal government or private parties can sue to stop election policies that have discriminatory results or discriminatory intent. this case is about discriminatory results and what the case has -- what the case is going to do, and obviously i haven't read the whole thing yet, it just came out moments ago, but it will make it much harder for plaintiffs to say, look, the laws that you are -- that you passed in arizona or iowa or florida or georgia or all of the c

if this country's racist about black and brown, you might want to tell them before they come. i bet johneed's already on the case. and the cuban protesters must be totally confused to see american media on their country, the country that ended slavery, jim crow and instituted affirmative action on behalf of blacks. but, still. >> the fact that you see ever where you look in black and white. >> the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right. >> at the core of these voter suppression laws in my judgment at the state level is white supremacy, simple as that. >> we are reaching the point where the white supremacist jim crow sense ability are devouring the very energies and souls of democratic possibility. >> yeah, that made sense. the obvious point, racism exists just check a coke employee training session. but it's harder to find these race efforts today. you want to ruin your life? be a racist. the left con strives racism today expecting kids to learn mass as white supremacy, gee soling is racist, comedy is racist, the only thing that's not ra

brown versus board of education was correctly decided in the first instance. and he goes on to say, he says, "the constitution is colorblind as the first justice john marshall harlanmaintained in his dissent in plessy and requires the states to ignore the race of school children in assigning them to their public schools." right? brown versus board of education forbids the consideration of race when you are assigning people to public schools. this is an effort, again, a backup effort to tame and to drain the meaning of brown. so, while he's speaking of voluntary segregation, back in the 1950s, in the 1980s, he is advocating freedom of choice plans. and he says, senator ervin says, "alas, while i accept brown, the modern supreme court has betrayed brown," because there are these decisions dealing with bussing and the racial integration of schools, often in the south, that take consideration of race. and that is a betrayal of brown versus board of education. so senator irvin identified a case called green versus county school board, a case out of virginia from the 1960s. and another one, swan versus charlotte mecklenburg out of the 1970s where he says these decisions

they need a strong john bark it -- strong job market to pull the men and keep the -- keep them there. sen. brown: senator kramer of north dakota is working night. sen. cramer: -- is recognized. sen. cramer: thank you for being here. let me add my voice to the chorus of people who thank you for your cool head through this process, particularly resisting the pressures to lower rates when it wasn't necessary, so we had some room when it became very necessary. i appreciate that very much. i was interested in a lot of the discussion going on, particularly your exchange with senator haggerty, where you used the line i have heard you use many times, when he asked a question about what congress ought to be doing, and you said, "we are not in the business of giving fiscal advice to congress either way. that is similar to what you have said many times. yesterday, thinking about this, i did a quick search engine review of the words "fed chair urges congress." this won't surprise you, and by the way, there's not a person in this room that doesn't have some some of the overhead lines that aren't quite accura

john -- justice roberts sided with the majority. if you will allow me one more moment. it strikes me that we should be thinking about perhaps brown v. board of education, because in the backdrop of whole women's h ealth, or even roe v. wade, we see these cases that seek to undermine the constitutional right to be able to terminate a pregnancy. and it reminds me if a state has tried to undermine browned beef -- brown v. board of education by enacting laws that would in fact conflict with the supreme court's jurisprudence, what you are assenting to do today and your colleagues, is to preserve the right for women and people who become pregnant to carry out their decision-making with independent autonomy, privacy, and dignity. and you, in a way leaning to that in such a way that we can lean into brown v. board of education being protected if there were laws that sought to undermine desegregation in the united states. chair blumenthal: thank you. we are about to end, unless you want to take a recess for the third vote. the third vote is about to close pretty soon. so we will end to go to the third vote. i want to thank all the witness

they knew the inner cities where black and brown, poor people, they knew they were dealing with this crisis. >> john hear a lot about crime with white neighborhoods, but in black neighborhoods the crime really is out of control and some of these cities, how do you address that? >> i think the problem is pedestrian leadership, the democratic party. we take into consideration places like new york city where bill de blasio was at the home, the same holds true in chicago where we have mayor lightfoot. they're implementing policies that are not favorable to those communities of color. we have black and brown communities that are receiving overwhelming number of these casualties. i've heard mayor lightfoot on many occasions speak to this being racism. that's why she's being attacked. you have to look through the lens of these black and brown communities that are receiving the greatest carnage. when we move forward in terms of how do we advance the agenda, i main ingredients with what -- excuse me, mayoral candidate eric adams is speaking to, however we need that strategy. it can't be speeches, but let's s

americans, indigenous americans, brown folk, people who are elderly, disabled people, and so for all americans, we've got topaz federal legislature specifically the johnct, but we've also got to stop what's going on on a state level. >> well, the president can't stop what's going on at the state level. voters would have to remove the republican governors and republican legislatures. he can make the case . here in washington he wants an infrastructure plan and republican votes nchgts he wants senator manchin who said he would like to meet with texas legislators who came up here. but he has shown no willingness to change his views on the filibuster. do you think the president and not every american gets to be in a small meeting with the president. you were in one. do you think he's of the mind set that he's willing to change his mind and push senate democrats to change their minds, or is this not enough of a priority for him? >> i am convinced from being in that meeting that my seven colleagues, the leaders of legendary civil rights organizations, i saw in president biden, i saw in vice president harris a total commitment to protecting the rights of bla

john roberts as you explained his lifetime commitment to destroying this act, these laws were racist by empirical definition. that's not me having conjecture. these had a disparate impact on black, browne plaintiffs, the state of arizona admitted these laws had a disparate impact and admitted that's why they were there. arizona said the reason why they wanted these laws was to help them win elections by depressing the vote and then the supreme court -- in alito's decision he says for one of the laws that allowed them to discard ballots cast in the wrong precinct, alito said 1% of african-americans and 1% of native americans and 1% of hispanic americans cast their votes in the wrong precinct and .5% cast their wrong votes. that racism wasn't enough racism to trigger the voting rights act. it must be nice to have a job where you can tell other people how much racism is real. but that's -- that's the decision. that's the upshot here. as long as you don't make it completely obvious that you're doing something with bigotry in your heart, then alito is going to let you do it. >> honestly, in case anyone thinks this is hyperbole, neil, in theory according to alito's theory, if in 1982 there

john lewis would have expected. get into some good trouble about something that needs to be corrected. and what needs to be corrected is this attack on our democracy through trying to deprive black people and brownte. en that and this is an tack on our democracy and something that a lot of people may not be fully aware of. they may be kind of immune or not sense tough to the fact that this is happening. it jeopardizes a threat to us all. we must rise up at this point and take extraordinary action which is what i did yesterday in standing with other black men was the brothers day of action on capitol hill. was proud to stand with them. and we did something we got into some good trouble yesterday. >> so -- >> it's going to continue. >> sorry. so speaking of extraordinary action, you and a number of democratic colleagues have been calling for the senate to get rid of the legislative filibuster requiring 60 votes to move forward. your colleague jim clyburn is suggesting that instead of completely eliminating the filibuster, the rules should be changed so that there is a carveout for laws directly tied to constitutional rights. >> well, that entire filibuster is hurting efforts on so many fronts. but

brown writes for msnbc daily. he wrote, time and again the political creatures in trump's orbit kept silent until it was too late to do anything. i'm still fuming over former national security adviser johnot to testify in trump's first impeachment trial only to confirm that all the charges against trump were true in his tell-all book which was released over a year later. similarly, it seems like maybe, just maybe, a lot of the information provided off the record in these books might have been useful for senators in the second impeachment trial. on the flip side, we're seeing gop lawmakers like kevin mccarthy once again embrace trump after criticizing his role in the insurrection. how does the pro-democracy wing of the gop, if there still is one, fight against this complicity and at worst fight back against those whitewashing january 6, megan? >> to these books specifically, there's a couple of interesting things about them and their timing. this most recent book you referenced titled "i alone can fix it" is a quote directly from trump's 2016 rnc acceptance speech. it's not like the party didn't know what they were getting into with this wholly unreasonable narcissist that would be elect
