not james mattis and george washington, they have founders were william bradford, william penn, john smith, that is a 17th century founders. throughout the great history in this. he had ten volumes on the colonial period he thought the colonial period was the founding of america. in fact, 1820 the constitutional convention in new york they revived in the constitution. mark vanburen who becomes the first american politician as the president, he did nothing he never had any great speech, he never negotiated a great treaty he was simply the most stupid politician that america had ever seen he organize a new york party that brought him into prominence. in that convention he said washington and jefferson he says forget about them their aristocrats, they have nothing to do with democrats. that was one of the great arguments of the antifederalists. the whole system is aristocratic it's creating a government which will benefit at the expense of the many. mark vanburen almost single-handedly is lincoln who makes the founders that we talk about, he is the one who says the man that created the declar

their founders were john winthrop, william brad foot, william penn, john smith. that is the 17th century founders. when bancroft wrote his great history in this period, he had ten volumes on the colonial period. he thought the colonial period was the founding of america. it's almost -- in, fact at 18, 20 at the constitutional convention in new york, they were revising the constitution. martin van buren, who becomes i think the first american politician as a president. he did nothing, he never had any great speech, he never won a battle, never negotiated a great treaty. he was simply the most astute politician that america had ever seen up to that point. he organized a new york party that brought him in the prominence. he's, in that convention, he says look, these guys back there. what did at jefferson. he says, forget about them, they're aristocrats, they have nothing to do with us, we are democrats. and of course, that was one of the great arguments of the anti federalists, that the whole system is aristocratic, creating a government which the few will benefit a

so you spoke to john carlos and tommy smith. i'm gonna paraphrase this question from the audience here. do you think that history will look at concaepernick and brian flores in a similar life with the same type appreciation is as we have for them now, i honestly do and it's funny because both tommy smith and john carlos told me they believe that about colin kaepernick. that it would happen faster for him because things are better now than they used to be a espn documentary coming out right exactly. right and and my guess is if i don't know. did he talk to him you might know. yeah, he's involved in that. okay, but okay, and i think it's actually a production and espn bought it. so he's being paid for. so my guess is it'll be fairly sympathetic, but the larger point is that when when people do something that where they know they're putting themselves in jeopardy. that's what tommy smith and john carlos. did they knew they were putting themselves in jeopardy? so did peter norman excuse me, the australian who was on the metal podium

john: representative jason smith. heidi shierholz? a lot there. heidi shierholz there is a light -- heidi: a lot there and it is all wrong. economists saying that this will not fix inflation, that is wrong including nobel laureates, two former federal treasury secretaries, two former chairs of the federal reserve into former chairs of the white house council of economic advisors -- all of them signing this letter saying that the inflation reduction act will bring down inflation. so, he is wrong on that. the idea that this will not bring down the deficit is also dead wrong. the idea that it is frontloaded is dead wrong. he may be confusing the inflation reduction act with the build back better act, which is an earlier iteration. that was very much front loaded, there was a lot of spending in the front, the deficit increasing in the beginning and then, deficit reduction down the road. that is not the case for the inflation reduction act. it is not going to be a big deficit increase in the beginning. and his point on the irs, he is right, it will inc
