>> john: i think so. >> joe: they spit it out. >> john: [laughs] >> joe: has lived to tell.ing coach for the white sox and by all accounts doing a tremendous job. here's one that gets back to the screen out of the right hand of kimbrel and down to second goes voit with two outs, ball one. >> john: kimbrel will keep you uneasy in the box, which is not a bad thing if you can make your pitches when you have to, but he will uncork a couple wild ones every once in a while. and snap off that breaking ball when you think it's coming at you, you buckle, and it's a strike. >> joe: now that's going to send zavala out to the mound to talk to kimbrel. let's send it down to tom verducci. >> joe, earlier before the game, i met white sox owner jerry reinsdorf in the cornfield. i've been waiting all night to say that, by the way. he mentioned to me that the cross she was getting for tickets to this game was greater than any of the chicago bulls finals when michael jordan was there. of course that center sat more than 20,000. there's 8,000 here but each team was allotted 1500 tickets. if you

it is a terrible, terrible tragedy that it came to this before the august 31st deadline. >> john: john here. it was one that britain had been warning about and now, the taliban tweeting. it took place in an area where us forces are responsible for security and the islamic emer is taking responsibility. this bombing and series of bombing may have been orb straited by the taliban as a strawman to try and humiliate the united states. if the taliban were to attack, it would respond. but if another organization, a proxy working on behalf of the taliban is responsible for these attacks, what is happening there? >> reporter: it is highly speculative. and yes, in this type of situation and isis-k are allies. the taliban knows if this attack were linked to them, the us would take action and they are sitting at the presidential palace now. the leader of this new government and there would be targets for the americans to respond to. without knowing who is responsible, it is very difficult to strike back. it is very uncertain they are going to know in any realtime at this moment, who is responsibl

for example, john and fanny's son, john jr., was a cadet in the military. he lost it when he heard the news that his parents were getting a divorce and then why they were getting a divorce. so he wrote his mom a series of these letters in return saying that he would quit school, get a job, support her, and they would never speak to dad again. so this really imploded the family. meanwhile, fanny seized control of the family's bank accounts. she got a lawyer and prepared to file for a divorce. we see this disruption of gender roles. keep in mind this was a big step for a society lady in 1896 virginia. this was the social ramifications of getting a divorce and having the secrets leaked out into the gossip columns would have been huge. this was the nuclear option for fanny. luckily, john's brother stepped in and talked fanny down off of the ledge. but what to do -- that left the question of what to do with john. there were a couple of different options that you could do to help civil war veterans overcome their addictions. none of them were effective. so one op

john arthur will pull their next service games but we come back in with john facing a break. [applause] so arthur ash beats john alexander in 4 sets and he's done what he came to do. he's in a position to win his first nature championship since forest hills. he'll face the winner of the match, either one of which is a formidable opponent for the man who set his sights on being number one. for arthur it's simple. in 1975 will be the year of arthur ash in the world of tennis and the place to start it in dallas and the time is now. earlier in the week the world's first solid gold tennis ball was presented to arthur by the founder of hater company.arthur's scoreboard points knows that rob levers 700 and contest that went down to the final week. arthur's consistency in beating out 83 other players for the top spot is an early indication sp1975 would be his year. a rod labor be on board semi final provides the dallas crown with the most breathtaking final since 1972 . bjorn borg is possibly the best 18-year-old who have played the game facing the best player in the hihistory of ten

for example, john and fanny's son john jr. was a cadet at virginia military institute. he lost it when he heard the news that his parents were getting a divorce and then why they were getting a divorce so he motor his mom a series of desperate letters saying he would quit school, he would support her and they would never speak to dad again so this really imploded the family. >> she got a lawyer and prepared to pile for divorce. we saw this disruption of gender rules. this was a big step in 1890 virginia. it was getting a divorce and having the secret leak out to the newspapers or gossip columns would have been huge so this was owe sensing lit nuclear option for nanny. luckily for his sake, john's brother stemmed in and -- and talked fanny down from the ledge but the question still remained what to do with john? there were things you could do to help civil war veterans though none of them were effective. they thought about institutional. they were anni-frid as fanny's sister-in-law that this would get leaked in the papers and cause a hubbub of press. the family -- they w

john and fanny?>> it was an accident, and so one of the then is that people who suffered with opioid addiction in that era, where they tried to do was keep it a secret. they did not want the outside world to know that they were addicted. so for a lot of people that meant quite literally not writing about addiction in their letters. so it's like extremely difficult to find cases of opiate addiction both among civil war veterans, and non-veterans and in the late 19th century. because there were all kinds of ramifications. and if word got out your name like you put in the paper and you might be described as being an opiate eater, and that had moral connotations with it. and less than manly and things like that. so, this family had the distinction of being only cases that i've ever found in civil war letters. civil war letters and diaries, it's funny because these are sort of the major traditional sources that scholars have so often turn to when we want to understand something, things about the lives of

john: yes. there was some reporting yesterday that the taliban were in control of the gates, then there was reporting we were shutting down all evacuation operations in the course of the day, and my point is those are not true. we are not shutting down evacuation operations. we will go until the end. we are still in charge of the airport, and we are still in charge of security at the airport. what was true a few days ago is still true today. the taliban have checkpoints around the airport in a loose perimeter, if you will, but they are not manning gates. they are not at the airport doing security roles or anything like that. reporter: they are not at the airport? john: they are not at the airport. reporter: going back to the drone strike, did you notify any country for which the drone may have had to fly through before the strike? which committees on the hill that you notify prior to the strike, if at all? john: as far as i know there were no notifications that needed to happen before hand. no n

gunpowder is the crucial necessary as john adams says. the colonists had 28 guns, they had no gunpowder and the british knew it and theytried to disarm us through gunpowder . it would be the contact that the marble headers had with spain that brought in that crucial gunpowder but it would also be a novel way that washington would try to capture more gunpowder by attacking the british stores at halifax. so he needed a ship or ships to do that operate john glover to create a navy. and the navy which is really kind of preposterous is to take basically afishing boat that john glover had, the hannah which was about 74 tons . and somehow take on the greatest be the will of the world at the time , butthat's what they did . and they attacked the british ships. and the story of the navy is extraordinary. it's some of the most colorful captains in american history. captain roy, the red dragon that has the giant cloak of a red cloak that has an incredible sense of humor . cyan martindale who decides to oust six guns, elaborate amount of money but as

john glover is a self-made man. during the french and indian war he is a cobbler and the bartender and with the money he makes from bartending and cobbling shoes, he's able to buy a ship and he is able to buy more ships and builds a fleet of ships and becomes a wealthy man within marvel head itself through trading and marvel head fortunes are made on fish. caught is the commodity in marblehead and it is a third of the economy in massachusetts in 1774. they fish the ground brinks -- the grand banks, the most precious waters in the world. it is icy and thousands of miles from boston. they sale and fish and gather fish and it is life-and-death situation against giant waves and storms but working together, marblehead is a diverse community, native americans, hispanic americans, these individuals are ahead of their time in many ways, progressive talent for its time. many indispensables: the diverse soldier-mariners who shaped the country, formed the navy, and rowed washington across the delaware" are abolitionists at the

john: no.hat you have to remember is that before we began our noncombatant evacuation operation, we had been in the midst of drawing down our forces . reporter: i am sorry, i am asking specifically, since operations with u.s. forces began at the airport. john: since the noncombatant evacuation? reporter: since it began at the airport. are these the first armed overwatch over kabul? john: they are not. reporter: and you say close air support, but to be clear, what you are saying is you are prepared now to conduct air strikes over kabul. john: barbara, i'm not going to talk about potential future operations. so i do think it's important to level set here that even throughout the draw down, we had overwatch capabilities. throughout the drawdown, we had overwatch capabilities. so the fact that we are flying overwatch missions now and have since the 14th, we were actually doing it before the 14th, as you would think we would. and to my previous answer, force protection is a high priority. and we are

we've been listening to john turk. he's been playing for all the greats that we can name from etta james to bb king. and you can see him on a regular basis at glide. at 9:00 and 11:00. tell us how did that begin? how did you connect all of this great music with the spirituality of the glide? >> it was fate and a fluke. i was supposed to be there for just two weeks. because the choir director was playing with an r & & b group over in south africa for a couple of weeks. while he was gone, they needed somebody to play keyboard. and so a buddy of mine that played drums at glide already called me up and asked me, do i want to do the gig for a couple of weeks? i said sure. i played. and ref rend william didn't know i played the trumpet. but i played and i played the trumpet. and he liked that. so when the director dorsey was his name, when he came back, they didn't fire me. i just stayed. and i stayed and i stayed. >> it's quite an experience. people come all over the world to celebrate a lot of people come for that glide en

john?john: boy, everything old is new again. you and bill together. [laughter] it really is an open question as to what's going to happen with everybody who has left, after the u.s. military pulls out. can we count on the taliban to allow them -- once commercial flights financially resume, to leave the country? >> sandra: and we expect to hear from president biden half past the hour, but that's going to be a fema coordination update, it's going to be virtually held. you never know, they could be some questions that he answers. otherwise you'll be hearing from jen psaki a bit later, he's expected to hold that white house briefing a short time after the president concludes. >> john: he wasn't inclined to take questions yesterday when he was talking about tropical storm ida, or hurricane ida as it was then. now it is tropical storm ida and he said the virtual meeting with a fema administrator and local officials in areas impacted by ida. we will bring that to you live in happens. the storm bri

he turned to john glover to create a navy. and the navy, which is really kind of preposterous is to take basically a fishing boat that john glover had come out that hannah, which was about 74 tons and somehow take on the greatest navy of the world. that is exactly what they did. they attacked british ships. and the story of the navy is extraordinary. it is's some of the most colorfl and american history. the red dragon that had the giant cloak,gi the red cloak tht has an incredible sense of humor. martindale who decides to out finished sit guns. spend a lavish amount of money. he is immediately captured by the s british. martindale sells out his crew to the british. he has a really amazing story. they put his crew in iron. .... i .... within thelf navy itself, they attack canada without authorization. there's a mutiny, one of the first in the united states history. but they also capture critical powder ships at the right time at the right place. another individual that i'd like to talk about is dr. nathaniel bond. the harvard-

john: it would be healthcare.t they discovered in writing this backwards is that there are massive inequities in terms of healthcare coverage between communities of color the rest of the country is very unevenly divided. i live in a county where we have a plethora really good hospitals but if you go south of chicago, it is not the case. they're struggling to keep the hospitals open. so i would spend the money and safe heavily of af broad-based plan if this were everybody gets really decent basic healthcare. i don't know if that's the healthcare system or medicare for all only need to come up with something. as a covid-19 crisis really exposes inequities and it was horrible because some people didn't have access to healthcare or they didn't go to the hospital because they were pretty cannot pay for it. so this is part of my social infrastructure argument.uc i think lincoln would've embraced and even go as far as the 14th amendment which was the treatment causing that in the very least in this country we should trea

john, back to you. >> john: i've spent a lot of time at piedmont park, how things have changed. jonathan serrie for us. >> critics are slamming cnn's canceling of the cuomo scandal as the governor's brother, the network top anchor remained silent. the new york ag reports how deeply involved chris, was in helping the governor respond to obligations. at the top is almost former communication director is. all of this as "the new york post" reports of former facebook executive was working with the governor's team to smear one of his accusers. let's bring in joe concha. that's a lot to take in. you were on yesterday i believe when ari sort of dropped that bomb on us and mentioned this communications director, formally of cuomo's team. inside cnn helping with the messaging of this. >> are a connected the dots, right, former cnn so he kind of knew the executives over there. that was like a light bulb that went off and said okay, there's a connection there is to the y in terms of what's going on. but we see that "new york times" story and an anonymous cnn executive decides to go to the

john: that's a tough one, is like taking your favorite child. that is not fair, come on. you know, the thing that really strikes me this is not something most people even associate with lincoln is a place called lincoln landing, a point illinois lincoln section one of the scenes were lincoln came through their, after his only term in congress is really what spurred my imagination in thinking that how did lincoln see the future of the country. he helped get this canal built, he created a great city it all the towns along it pretty think about all of the towns along the erie canal new york city in new orleans and all the things that happened after it. but he had this vision and sometimes places have this power to really instill his vision a try to get into lincoln's head and all of us have tried and we don't completely understand him and we never will but it's important to see what he saw in the field maybe it when he felt and did no to aspire to a better country was still a worthy goal in a moral principle that we can't abandoned. >> will john on behalf of the school the c

john? >> one of the things that my friend rich frenick pointed out to me a couple years ago now, just about a month after the victory at midway there is an opinion piece in the new york times that says the business of war has gotten so large and complex that it's beyond fdr's ability to really be an effective commander in chief and that he should appoint a military super commander to oversee the war effort. so back to your point about, niall, was this even recognizable as a turning point within the war, within the context of 1942, i would argue that it was, that midway certainly was not recognized as that in the year 1942, certainly not during the summer of 42. >> i like, neil, your notion of the initiative changing. having the initiative is so important. you get to pick and choose her spots. pick and choose your targets. your enemy is on the back foot, constantly reacting to things that you are doing. the more i think about turning point, i guess why i'm uncomfortable with it is that there

so let's start with john marshall john talk to us about the battle of midway. very well. thank you if you could put my first slide up for me in in following with rob's sort of skepticism or guarded usage around the words turning point. my title is midway turning point in the pacific and as you can see, i've got a question mark at the end of that statement, which should be your clue that you know, i think we have to use the word turning point in a very careful manner within the context of a large war like world war ii and it's near cousin decisive battle. that's another phrase that gets trotted out with respect to midway on a pretty frequent basis. you know, what are those really mean within the context of a war like the second world war which just isn't a contest between two countries but is actually a contest between two nation, you know larger lions blocks composed of dozens of nations, you know, can you really have a turning point or a decisive battle within that context and is what i'd like to explore for the next 10 minutes or so next slide, please. i think the way t

although him they had been free john and mary smith. nonetheless were forced to bear the costs of their trials as was customary and colonial america in cases where the accused were still considered suspicious following an acquittal those costs were staggering in excess of 377 pounds for mary and 240 for john. then in an extraordinary turn events, john and mary smith were married less than six months after the conclusion of their trials. mary was already pregnant at the time and resigna the first of their four children was born later in 1751. at the time of his death nine years later john smith owned a small farm some kitchen implements furniture embedding spinning wheel and a few old books. valued at only a hundred and seventeen pounds nearly all of his estate was sold off to pay his creditors mary smith remained in canterbury for the rest of her life living miserably according to backus. still alive in the spring of 1782 mary may well have watched ann lee the elect lady ride right past her front door and down the main road to windham o

john. >> john: let's bring in chris wallace. podium regarding this peter doocy said we will hunt them down and make them pay mean? jen psaki said the president made it clear he doesn't want them to live on the earth anymore. if you pull out of afghanistan, how do you go back in and deal with these people, the blow the president wants to see them dealt? >> chris: obviously our intelligence assets will be sharply diminished, i don't know if they will be gone. we won't publicize if they are americans or not u.s. soldiers conceivable cia, para-military. there are plenty ways to go after people, drones, air strikes, whether it is cruise missiles, plenty of ways to do it. i thought two main points, two news points she made today i thought were interesting. top of the briefing jen psaki said we are now entering the most dangerous phase of this mission, the retro-grade phase. we have known we are getting into this delicate period in the last four days, we are trying to get as many people out as we can, same time, trying to draw all of o

to excommunicate john smith from the church. six months later, his wife, who is dead. local residents literally called the late 1730s were a time of considerable discourse about marrying in the new covenant. molly becket who stood at the center of that controversy defended solomon by claiming he was made for her. man and wife internally but not externally she maintained, for god had made it known to them that it was so. it's worth remembering new england congregational's in their church and ancestors never considered marriage to be a religious sacrament. indeed for all the 17th century well into the 18th, marriages performed by justice of the peace with little ceremony other than publishing. much more what we call civil unions than religious rituals. as to understand the theological reasoning behind these so-called internal or name covenant marriages returned to george whitfield. it surged across new england during the 1740s. critics including english artist who was scandalous you see here, created this powerful work upon the pa

hancock and samuel huntington of connecticut and everyone else, john adams, john jay. there were negotiations for prisoner exchanges. that often gets overlooked. hamilton was very skilled at the nuances of prisoner exchanges with the british. and in fact, at one point some 600 soldiers were exchanged from the british back to the americans, i believe it was at elizabeth sometime in the middle of the war, and hamilton handled all of that along with the help of eliza blew mow. there were diplomatic measures for hamilton to handle with france. alexander hamilton and john lawrence his good friend were both fluent in french, and for that reason they could be sent by washington in the middle of the war to meet with admiral disdang when his fleet anchored off the coast of new jersey. then there was my favorite topic, the intelligence in the american war in which hamilton had to help george washington who was indeed the spy master with handling all of the different generals and case officers and independent agents who were feeding him all kinds of intelligence, some good, some
