and, josephine being josephine, she knew that she would need extra gasoline along the way. she was smart and kept her head in emergencies so she filled champagne bottles with gasoline to surprise -- to disguise what they were and made it safely to her chateau in the south of france. she rightly perceived nazi ideology as a racist ideology, and this was one of her strongest motivations for becoming a spy. edna: as you describe, she quite literally embodied watch -- what nazis labeled as degenerate. after the german occupation she vowed not to sing until france was free, what i think we should have a listen to her extraordinary voice, and we have a clip of her entertaining troops and she galvanized so many french people and gave them hope and inspiration. >> [seeing in foreign language -- singing in foreign language] prof. baer: wonderful. we could see the adoration of the french soldiers, on their faces, and she is singing what became her signature song translated into english it says "i have two loves, my country and paris and the french." so she had this double love, and y

they called her esty, and she liked that better than josephine. david: when you were growing up, were you in a wealthy family at the time? leonard: we were very, very poor. remember, this was the depression. my father has had a very successful business importing silk. now, silk did not do too well during the depression. so he -- his company had to close down, and my mother had always had ambitions to either be an actress or to make people beautiful. and i have a late friend who had been a high school classmate of hers said she was always combing out her girlfriends' hair and making them look pretty. she loved doing that, and that became her avocation and vocation. david: ok, now when you are talking about your youth in new york city, you do it in great detail in the book. how can someone remember things that happened 80 years ago? how do you do that? leonard: david, it's easier to remember 80 years ago than what i had for lunch today. david: i understand that phenomenon. [laughter] ok. your mother was interested in making people more beautiful, bu

>> thanks, josephine.course we do have tremendous humanitarian support for countries ravaged by hurricanes, and we have a lot of economic aid that goes to those triangle countries. president biden i'm sure will propose his own strategy on helping there as well. i visited with catholic charities in texas on the u.s. side of the border, sister norma there, i was with her in april 2019 when she was overwhelmed with 1,000 people coming across the border every day. now it is over 2,000 people coming across the border every day. it is a huge burden, and i recognize your comment, that the conditions in mexico are not ideal either. my point is that they are able to be taken care of there before they are able to come into the u.s. and that that is a place where we should put help and emphasis, both with the nongovernmental sector, and our own policies that aid mexico. i think that is the right balance in helping these families but also letting people into the country that have a legitimate asylum claim or some anot

office and josephine and her team. and i'm really confident that we're going to really make some significant progress this year in terms of our racial equity, you know, efforts and improvements and improving the workplace culture in the organization. the other thing that i wanted to mention as well is that, you know, my door is always open. i have an open-door policy. i have employees who sometimes, very frequently, very often on a weekly basis, email me wanting to just talk. maybe they don't want to go through the e. o. process or just have to have someone to listen to them. but i think that is another engagement opportunity to really reach out to employees and let them know that you are there and you value them. i have heard several of the callers today, you know, calling in and saying that there are still workplace culture issues. yes, we do still have a long way to go, but i think that it is really important that employees have different avenues that they can reach out to, whether it's josephine, the new ombudspers

josephine is a spanish teacher to charter school. and they have a two-year-old daughter. stephen and josephina tell me they pay almost 8,000 a year in federal income taxes. my plan will save them more than $2,000. let me tell you what steven says. $2,000 a year means a lot to my family. if we had this money. it would help us reach our goal of paying off our personal debt. in two years time after that, stephen and josephina want to start saving. for leanna's college education my attitude is government should never stand in the way of families achieving their dreams. and as we debate this issue always remember the surplus is not the government's money. the surplus is the people's money. for lower-income families, my tax tax plan restores basic fairness right now complicated tax rules punish hard work a waitress supporting two children on 25,000 a year can lose nearly half of every additional dollar she earns above the 25,000. her over time her hardest hours are taxed at nearly 50% this sends a terrible message. you'll never get ahead. but america's message must be different

i think it's very interesting a generation ago famous researcher here the national archives josephine cobb, who is a great friend of our families did discover the image of abraham lincoln actually in the midst of delivering his gettysburg address in one of those same crowd shots and that enlargement you can you can clearly see him looking down at his manuscript in the midst of that ceremony. that was one of the great finds in terms of digitization. we have a collection of about 80,000 images and we are in the process of getting high resolution digit digitized versions of all of them. they it's been in a private collection all these years, but we're now gifting it to the to the deserve coonhardt foundation. it is going to be fully available to use and we'll see what happens there. thank you. yes, i wanted to ask you about lincoln's birthday, which was celebrated as a state holiday in some states like by native, california. i was surprised to learn it was not celebrated in all states. so i was wondering whether you have looked into that and whether the subsequent substitution of preside

we will now hear from josephine achuto. >> thank you. i am also one of the homeowners within the 1991 to 1997 addresses. i don't think anybody's trying to gum up the work. i think we're all trying to make sure our homes are protected in this process and i think that there has been a lack of transparency for certain things. we've already gone through multiple variations of this building. we've gone through multiple variations of companies being involved in this and contractors and things. i personally know that we did not receive some of the letters that our neighbors across the street from us, on the opposite side of the street did receive. so transparency is something that has not been given to us. we did not know anything about the asbestos reports and this and that and i don't think after dealing with us for the last almost four years, i don't think that any of those neighbors have shown a lack of interest in what's happening on that site. so i think it's very deceiving to say that we didn't ask for the reports so that's why they were
