such as britain's john thomas, then deputy superintendent for indian affairs on the mississippi, and alexander cameron, as well as for spanish. we've heard some of these already, including charles charles desk boudreaux at spanish mansion, balthasar de villa at spanish point to be the same officials were frequently drawn into pitting national customs and ceremonies and more often on native terms than on european. they relied on supplies of trade, goods and of course on the metals as. well. we also see these native groups sort of again, flexing their muscles, moving back and forth across territory from france, from spanish to british and british to spanish territory, sort of showing empires that they really can't. they can't be contained. and if this week they feel favoring one while they'll live here, and in a couple of months they might move elsewhere. so before 1778, when these british national are pretty much more permanent, least settled in spanish territory. this is after after the the willing raid unfolds and they spain as a more stable and successful empire in the region. afte

i think way, way back to the election of 1800 between federalist john adams and republican john thomasefferson. it was so much more vitriolic than the one we just went through. each one said the other one was an enemies to the constitution. each one said the other one was an ex-essential threat even martha washington on the federal side saying that jefferson was despicable, the most despicable man of all. they called each other atheists, they called each other monarchists. and the extraordinary thing was they actually jailed people who were saying things about about adams. adams had a 1798 law. for some he had called him a bad name, they put him in jail. so this was really, really tough. so what does jefferson do? there is an answer to this. he comes to his inauguration and he starts off saying, we are all federalist, we are all republicans. we must approach each other with civility and magnanimity. we must unite for the common good. and that somehow set a tone. then you let that locks by that allows you to jail journalists and he brought the journalists who had been put in jail out on

at least 15 people were injured in may, chief john thomas said he did everything he could to keep students safe, but investigations found the university had no plan in place for when a major protest happens on campus. it's unclear if thomas resigned or was fired. >> time now. 707 well, new details this morning about the corruption investigation involving oakland's recalled mayor shang tao and the prominent huang family. a new court filing in alameda county accuses mario juarez of supporting shang tao's campaign for mayor in exchange for getting valuable city contracts. the filing says juarez received hundreds of thousands of dollars from several businesses, including california waste solutions, owned by the huang family. that money allegedly then went toward shang tao's campaign. the district attorney's document identifies juarez as a conduit between these companies and the mayor. >> well, i think as we learn more about the characters involved in this case, all of them seem to be a little bit compromised. and so it's going to take quite a bit to unfurl and see what's true. and the prosecut

and it is john adams lasting gift to thomas jefferson and all presidents since who have lived here. the state him is one of three dining rooms here in the white house mansion. as visitors go through the state floor today, they have a president to thank for allowing the public to come in for tours and his presence is felt throughout the rooms and parlors on this floor. every room that you seen today has a specific purpose in the white house. the white house was opened first in the spring of 1801 by jefferson. this is the greens, and it was originally utilized as the official white house dining room during the days of thomas jefferson. there's a particular feeling in the green room to me of jefferson when he used that as his kind of everyday dining room where he had his round table so all could talk. but of course he did all the talking. yeah, i can imagine him with thomas paine. thomas paine dying, but everything. that's where most of his dinners took place. they were relatively small, always political, but people did come to call. he was famous for having these meals where he invite

that this is a government where if you ask george washington and alexander hamilton, even then john jay and thomasferson is this federal government recognizable to the republic. they set into motion. i think they would tell you this is unrecognizable that it's a technocracy disguised as a democracy. and i think if we restore a federal government to a size that would make our founders proud. then yes, i believe that our best days as a country are still going to be ahead of us. if we fail to do it, then i can't make you that promise. but i think that if we restore a federal government back to size, that would make the signers of the declaration of independence and the framers of the constitutional convention proud then i am rock solid confident that america's best days still lie ahead. >> now, we're looking forward to bringing you into the conversation. >> great, thanks vk and thanks mike. i'm going to turn it over to our executive director an emanuel for the question, please. >> thank you so much for coming. great presentation. thank you. i'm 100% with you on the low hanging fruit. i spend a lot of

so, john, you hear thomas talking about the state of the case as he sees it. what do you hear there? >> what i hear is a lawyer doing his job pushing that. you know, all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty. but there were certain answers to questions like, do you know what he was doing in altoona, pennsylvania? and he said, the burden of proof is on the prosecution, which is not the answer. yes, i know, no, i don't. he said he couldn't get into discussions with his client, so he hasn't had much time and he hasn't had access to discovery. so when he says, i haven't seen any evidence proving my client had anything to do with it, it's literally correct. but he's, he's he's playing it down the middle, which is if there's prints that say that we're going to attack that. right. if there is ballistics, we need to look at it. >> and interesting. tim, i mean, he was very clear from the conversations he's had so far with luigi mangione that the the plea, if it were today, the plea is not guilty. and then he was very clear that they're not trying to do n

he is published biographies of thomas carlyle, mark twain, henry james, charles dickens, john quincy adams, abraham lincoln gore vidal, and now thomas jefferson in his masterly pen. kaplan offers us a biography of thomas jefferson by giving an english professor's kind attention to jefferson's written words. jefferson only published one book in his lifetime notes on the state of virginia. but, of course, jefferson wrote consul treatises like a summary view of the rights of british north america legal briefs, memoranda the declaration of independence, and above all letters, thousands of them, which kaplan calls among his most powerful and revealing writings throughout his masterly pen, kaplan brings a skilled biographers attention to how jefferson reveals himself through his writing, often without without intending to, as kaplan says of notes on the state of virginia. it's a book about jefferson partly because jefferson did not want it to, a book about himself. the jefferson we meet here is not surprisingly learned and forceful. but kaplan also shows this jefferson as a writer who's oft

are folks like thomas massie, do they become john mccain with thumbs down that does sink the ship over principles. i hope they figure it out before it is time to vote. >> katie: republicans have a choice to make, do they toss out speaker johnson risking certification of january 6 election and put in grassley instead of donald trump? all points valid on principles of how many get spent. this did happen under president joe biden, it is new chance republicans to start over and maybe timing is not the best. if they want to have this fight in march, when it comes up again, that is better time, getting house up and running is probably a priority for the president-elect. >> joey: one caveat, talk about posturing and talk about trump thr throwing tariffs out. is there something that thomas massie or others saying they are h holding out want in writing or in a deal. mccarthy says there were deals made others did not stick to. they have to go by parliamentary procedure. >> todd: i have two points. one, mike johnson was backup to the backup, to the backup. >> joey: the walk-on. >> todd: who is th

electoral college for the first election after that and the second one in 1796 and 1800, john adams versus thomasefferson both times were two of the most toxic elections we have ever had, right from the beginning. some of the things that were said and what supporters said were so negative and personal. but it just shows that it happened right from the beginning. in that same timeframe you have the first character assassin in american politics, a man named jt calendar, he endorsed jefferson and then jefferson was elected and didn't give him a job he elected as postmaster of richmond, virginia so he turned against jefferson and he was the one who broke the story about jefferson having an affair with sally hemmings, one of his enslaved people on this plantation, it was considered very salacious at the time and jefferson was still reelected and became a popular president. the thing is, as often happens with these starting of rumors, dna evidence has shown that jefferson did have an affair with sally hemmings. so given the for many years this was considered an excessive negative charge, it turns out h

george mason, richard henry lee and patrick henry, as well as the continued health of thomas jefferson and john adams lafayette himself was toasted numerous times. we mentioned there were over 30 toasts that were given, so we will not be doing a transcription of every toast that was said that night. but lafayette was toasted for, fought and bled for liberty in america he proclaimed. liberty in france, making long and happy live. an example posterity and in return raised a toast to the city of alexandria, wishing her prosper, liberty and happiness more and more realized the fondest wishes of our venerated washington in the ho tt lafayette used as his residence. and alexandria belonged to a woman named elizlaws and the homis located just around the corner on 301 south st asaph st. as completed in 1819 and it s considered, and i believe still is considere to one of the finest herin the city the honor of hosting lafayette was an issue so serious that was taken up to ty cocil where the lawsons was selected due to its size and grandeur, and to give lafayette and his traveling party privacy, mrs. laws

lies through the lies repeated with thomas jefferson and john adams supervising the media production of these articles that were blatant lies. so we've had some rough times. the 1960s. well, see, i'm just old enough to remember a bit of. 1960s. you got a good laugh with that one? that's right. some historian that. that's right. that's right. the 1960s were really interesting because i what i remember well, i had a brother who graduated from the air force academy, and so he was flying a force in the vietnam era that kind of has a way of riveting your attention when there's a lot of civil unrest, a lot of anti war protests. that was a period of of great protests. the college i went to had old main burned down at that period. for example, 1970, where there was a lot of destruction. i mean, we worry about seattle and portland and some of the things that have happened. ladies and gentlemen, i think a lot of you also remember the 1960s, if i could say, and we remember that there was a lot of unrest we had three prominent americans assassinated, for pete's sake. now, a lot of people are pre

what impresses the rest of the world is the fact that since john adams handed over power to thomas jeffersonaceful transfers of power between parties. that the greatest democracy in the history of the world is able to have these exchanges of authority, despite the intensity of our politics. that was true until january 6, 2021. nothing donald trump does in his inauguration in the next couple of months will ever wipe away the dishonor of what he did in january of '21. >> let me turn now to syria with you because secretary of state antony blinken says that the u.s. has made direct contact with the hts rebels after the fall of assad's regime. a joint statement with arab nations called for a hopeful, secure and peaceful future. trump implied the u.s. should largely stay out of what's happening in syria, but how do you expect republicans to handle it and what kind of role do you think the u.s. should play, and should troops remain to fight isis? >> yes, american troops should stay on the ground right now. these are special operations, these fellows are well trained, well-equipped, well supported f

well, joining me now, jillian snyder, a former nypd officer and lecturer at john jay college of criminal justice, thomas cheatham, retired atf associate deputy director and svp of forensic services, sound thinking, inc., and josh skule, former fbi senior executive and president and ceo of bow wave, llc. glad to have all of you here. i'll get with you, jillian, because, look, the nypd is saying today that they were actually able to match the ammo they found on the scene of the killing with the gun that was found on the suspected killer as well. by the way, as a matching fingerprint. so talk to me about how critical these this is for the investigators. >> thank you for having me. >> so we don't just have one piece of evidence. we don't have one confirmatory piece of evidence that puts this suspect at this shooting. we have multiple things. we have spent rounds that the striations are matching. what was fired from this gun, as well as having matched fingerprints. now, what we're hearing initially is that it looks like the fingerprints were from both the water bottle as well as the protein bar. those were m

science review in which they reviewed all the writings by our founding fathers, john dickinson, john adams, thomas jefferson, james monroe, the whole bunch. and they found the bible was the most cited book of our forefathers. that's not surprising. what i did find interesting was that 1/3 of the citations in the writings of our forefathers was the writing itself. in the article i found, i find it hard to believe, they said the most cited book in the bible was deuteronomy. i would have guessed it was somewhere in the new testament or psalms so even i'll say deuteronomy is the most cited book in the old testament other than psalms. but in any event, why was deuteronomy is so cited? i think it's so cited because deuteronomy lays out the law the israelites were supposed to follow when israel was founded. and our forefathers looked at deuteronomy because they as well wanted us to form a country that god would bless and god would protect. and that is why deuteronomy was so cited. this does not mean that they did not quote the new testament. there are plenty of references from john, from i corinthians th

john adams was 40. thomas he wrote the declaration of independence the age of 33. james madison did five years old alexander hamilton was just 19. incredible, isn't it? they were that young they were taking on the strongest military in the world and they picked up personal hunting rifles and we can do what we have to do. we can do it. the declaration of independence the muscle came together and they knew the risk they took it on anyway graded give us the greatest gift keep it and now it's time. we all in. years ago i had a lady walked up to me she said my name is sherry and she said you don't know me but i own an apparel store. why do you only so pearls? said because they are the only pressers jim a living creature. all are created different ways but also the only ones while living creature. in order for the pearls to be created, the or stress to go through something hard, something that causes it pain is uncomfortable and challenging but it takes that hard challenging thing and turns it into something beautif

political difference and that's not how it should be, and that's why i love the story of how thomas jefferson and john >> so let's talk about your book. and in it you discuss the importance of civility in political discourse. you write in part this, when we are uncivil to others, we hurt ourselves. the reverend dr. martin luther king jr. wrote that racist laws gave the segregator a false sense of superiority and the segregated a false sense of inferiority. like segregation, incivility deforms the soul of both the abuser and the abused. also, like segregation, incivility often tes from a low personhood. often people lash out at others because of their own inaccurate view of self. this can manifest in their deriving their validation in abusing others but harming others only makes them feel lesser. appreciating the gift of being human, and realizing that when we hurt others with our incivility, we hurt ourselves -- is central to reclaiming basic decency in our world. so, alexandra, important words there. how would you -- what lessons can people who are perhaps preparing to sit down with loved ones here o
