it's king george iii. look at the way that most of the crisp brief sentences in the middle section of his draft begin, they begin he has. he has refused. he has forbidden. he has combined. he has incited. the "he" is he. the "he" is george. george is rendered here not as a puppet of parliament or as a gaffe-prone bumbler making one bad decision after another, he is rendered here instead as a villain who enacted an intentional program of harm. this is george as nero. this is george as richard iii. this is george as attila the hun. it's a rhetorical decision jefferson has made to personify the enemy. to give readers someone to root against, someone to hate. given that goal it should not surprise us to find that jefferson's list of grievances is full of hyperbole. he exaggerates. he guilds the lily. he tells readers that there were swarms of tax collectors in the colonies when there were really just 50. he tells readers that tax collectors posed the same sort of threat as occupying soldiers, when that's hardl

or routes which hosted the coronation of king. maurice to sully should have accepted the obvious my time had not yet come. but little did he care i filled his days and haunted his nights a faint silhouette on a wax top. to the devil with prudence and mediocrity. against the advice of the canons suddenly summoned of the most famous master builders the ancestors of architects. the one overseeing the works at such a man they. grace and the one from souls get. together they passionately discussed the latest architectural innovations. good by old churches with the qualls and narrow windows thanks to the gothic arch horizontal thrust could be reduced all while stretching up toward the sky ever higher. they sang the praises of the revolt. which distributes the vaults weight among the pillars lightning the structure. lateral thrust is absorbed by flying buttresses and their heavy pedals. these are revolutionary ideas are brought dreams of light within reach. but each time more as to sally mentioned the dimensions of his because each will.

much higher than the one in the king's palace. in the late 1230 s. i finally have the outline you know so well. the one that maurice to sally drew 80 years earlier on a wax tablet. but my story is far from over. it was all set august 15th 1239 should have been my day of glory. the reign of filippo ghost saw my construction of. that of his grandson st louis would see my consecration. on that day the very christian of kings brought the most coveted of all relics back to paris the crown of thorns that christ wore during the crucifixion. because. it had cost an astronomical sum. enough to build 2 cathedrals. and it's to me notre dam dividing that the king came with this invaluable treasure . all 100000 regions held their breath. with his crown in notre dam paris would be paradise. after staying in the shadows of other cathedrals for so long i finally saw myself as the 1st lady of france. i couldn't fathom that this crown wasn't meant for me. the king has the sunshine built in just 6 years just a few streets from my towers. that sublime reliquary has its

well, both lincoln and king are wrong. i have said both lincoln and king are wrong about this. as i've said already the declaration do not have the values that link win and king are trying to put their. the mistake is a little bit more severe even than that. think about it, for a second in the civil war, whose side is the declaration on. the answer is pretty clear it is side of the rebels who marched on washington and 63? the civil rights movement did in 1963 as i just said but before them, the real champions of the ideals of the declaration are these guys, the confederate soldiers who marched on washington and 1816 three for the real errors are the southern succession us. this is something else that you don't hear that much, but actually within the professional act of the community is relatively will excepted if you are looking for a evidence it is abundant if you look at this accession letters that the southern state sent congress it is overwhelming lee invoking the declaration of independence and they were right to. because the heart of the declaration, as i've said is not a

the king turned to his brother in the king of jordan, and asked him and you can see the two of them howemarkably young they are back in 1958 and the two of them agreed that iraq would send a brigade of the iraq he army to him in order to help stabilize the romanian situation. unfortunately the brigade that selected was filled with co- plotters who were prepared a plot against the king and the plot succeeded on the 14th of july, 1958 and as i said earlier it was a very violent plot and the copartners of the was moving through baghdad in the early morning hours with ammunition which was very unusual and instead of heading towards jordan they headed towards the real palace and the defense ministry and the took the role palace and lined the entire royal family up against a wall and machine-gunned all of them and then their bodies were dragged through the streets. it was a really uglyll tactic te prime minister of iraq who had been the de facto leader of the country for 20 years was found a day later and he was similarly executed on the spot and dragged through the streets. was a very violen

that's what king george did. and when that happens, the states stand up to defend the rights of their citizens. that's what the state militias did, fighting off the red coats. and that war, the revolutionary war, is the mod that will is bui model that is built into the founder's constitution. the well regulated militia is supposed to fight off the federal army if it comes to that. along comes the second american revolution. the states stand up to the rights of the citizens. the states are supposed to win. according to the vision of the founders constitution, the south is actually supposed to win the civil war. so abraham lincoln did a lot of remarkable things. but the most remarkable, i think, is the sort of magic trick that he makes people think he's the one fighting for the declaration and the founders constitution in wh when in fact against them. if you draw a line through the founders constitution, it does not go to us. it goes to the rebel south and, of course, it stops there. they defeated it by force of ar

during martin luther king jr.'arch on washington in 1963, king told crowds that our declaration was a promissory note to which every american was to fall heir. king's famous dream is actually the declaration's dream. king's hopes are rooted in its famous second paragraph. i still have a dream, he said. i have a dream that one day this nation will rise up, live out the true meaning of its creed, we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. we can find the language of the declaration in the public debate surrounding every single civil rights act ever passed in american history. here's president lyndon johnson. sorry it's such a big quote. here's president lyndon johnson speaking at the signing ceremony for the 1964 civil rights act, a ceremony that took place not coincidentally on july 2nd. the anniversary of the date when the constitutional congress had declared independence. this is lyndon johnson. 188 years ago, a small band of valiant men began a long struggle for freedom. they pledged

the year before the king had come to the united states and was the first saudi king to ever visit the united states. 's visit was planned for nine days it lasted 12. the king had indicated he would bring 80 people with him he brought almost 200 there were so many studies in the delegation they could not all fit in blair house they literally set up tents to house the rest of the saudi delegation. so we'd like to say he was wined and dined but he was given great profile by the eisenhower administration. the failure of his plot to assassinate nasser resulted in a severe throwback in the saudi royal family within a matter of days stripped the king of all his power and gave it to the crown prince faisal he stayed in power as king but was powerless after that. faisal was much less favorable to the united states. so that was one big setback. shortly afterwards the lebanese civil war began and that was another setback to america the lebanese president was one of the few arab leaders who publicly divorced the eisenhower declaration but in jordan the cia uncovered a plot to overthrow king husse

the cia covered a plot to kill king hussein, he was in his 20s. inexperienced king.it's running a country whose 80% palestinian who has no support from the monarchy. the cia uncovered the plot by tapping the phone of the jordanian defense attachÉ who was in washington who was plotting against egyptian counterparts overthrow the king. in late june of 1958, the cia gave all of the information to the jordanians and they arrested the plot makers. the king turned to his brother-in-law, the king of jordan, and asked him, you can see the two of them how remarkably young they are back in 1958, the two of them agreed iraq would send a brigade of the iraqi army to a mod to help stabilize the jordanian situation. unfortunately, the brigade they selected was filled with plotters who were preparing a plot against the king. the plot succeeded on the 14th of july, 1958 was a very, very violent plot. the brigade was moving through baghdad in the early morning, hours with ammunition which was very unusual and instead of heading towards jordan at head to the palace of the defense mini

wasge is your king and he given that authority by god. king by the grace of god. rebellion against him would be unjustified and would be in fact a sin. that is the theory of the divine right of kings. it is a bit of a strawman in 1776 because the english monarch is no longer claiming divine authority. the idea has been attacked by thinkers from milton to thomas payne in "common sense" but jefferson thinks he needs to deal with it. he does with this proposition all men are created equal. no one is born to rule. this is america. there are no kings here. this looks like -- to modernize -- a broad moral principle. it is a compressed argument of political philosophy. we are going to see this again with the declaration. to modernize, because we are not instepped in -- steeped political philosophy as the founders were, we tend to think of these as broad moral arguments. as tightlynderstood compressed arguments of political philosophy. all men are created equal, there are no kings. this is what i am going to call jefferson's equality. there are no kings, but are there sla

king hussein used his own air force and. stood down the syrian air force he knew that the israelis might go into action if the syrian air force acted. and the large area that can fuck up that i am in and you can laugh at on a mock of half of that arsenal i am and i'm not sure what the determining factor was for us. was it his relationship with the jordanian regime or any was an internal power struggle within syria but did it have anything to do with the threats he was getting from the americans and the israelis not to intervene he was aware of all of this and he may have used the circumstances to his advantage because shortly afterwards he mounted a coup d'etat and came to power. assets position at this time would be a precursor to his future split with yasser arafat the palestinians were now on the run. an arab league delegation headed by sudanese president jefferson to marry and including kuwait defense minister ship. arrived in the jordanian capital and managed to whisk a b. siege just out of fat out to cairo. yet alleged

and then to plot with the objection and trip on - - plot to overthrow the king and to turn to the kingof jordan king faisal the second and asked him and the two of them agreed iraq would send the brigade of the iraqi army to help the stabilize the jordanian situation. unfortunately for those who were preparing a plot against king faisal the plot succeeded on the 14th of july 1958 and as i said earlier it was a very violent plot. the brigade was with ammunition that was very unusual and instead of heading towards jordan it was to the defense ministry they line the entire family up against the wall to machine gun all of them. the prime minister of iraq was the de facto leader of the country and was found a day later and executed on the spot and executed on the street it was a very violent and a stunning blow to america's interest in the middle east. a series of events look who was led by this man nobody knew who this guy was a complete unknown egyptians didn't know the russians didn't know who he was. a complete unknown factor. the coup plotters may or may not have been pro- egyptian but

and who gave the kings the surviving right religion. and then the transition to the fia world or era was straddled by the bank of england to try to preserve the wealth of the monarchy of europe through a central bank and then they started to feed out here and then we have keynesian economics which is the religion of the fia era to give the apostle. like nobel prize winning economist the idea that they are divinely endowed with the smarts and intelligence to centralize our economy and award people indulgences to those who they think are worthy of going into fee out heaven an austrian economics says now you have to have savings you have to have actual individual sovereignty which is also the basis for the. declaration of independence for america the united states and for those who are still the spouses the dirty policies of keynesianism. they have to deal with this with their own conscious going back to the divine right of a class of people when we had that back in the age of empires and kingdoms that of course kept the the starving masse

when they invaded, the local king opposed him. they kept losing and goes further up the valley until they got to the top. the 400 or so of the soldiers who survived got pushed over. their skeletons were still there when mark twain took a hike down there 70 years later. no heads. they put them in the sacrifice. when he invaded, he never succeeded. he got beaten on the beaches once, normandy that didn't work. there were people that chuckled for a long time. he negotiated. it was only after the establishment of a unified kingdom. it took some years before they did feel like a unified kingdom. it's quite true. >> last question. >> my question is, essentially the descendents of the missionaries in possession of the lands who have a responsibility towards environmental protection and taking care of the people, do you have -- especially as the sugarcane industry dies out in hawaii. do you have any thoughts how to proceed? >> not really. when i wrote this book, i wound up -- once i realized what i got into -- it nieeds to be twice a big a

the king granted him absolute control over their kids. meanwhile, his wife julia cook was drying their tears. the young ones were weeping and screaming from homesickness. the polynesian culture in these kids -- she was kept busy trying to keep them apart. princess abigail became pregnant at 14 by who became prince kamehameha who became the fifth, who was 12. he was given a beating. she was forced to marry her mother's gardener and exiled and told to behave herself. there were no more kamehameha descendents. that is not true. abigail's child had progeny. there are direct descendents of kamehameha on kouachi today. they were never considered royal. remember the queen of maui -- she made things even worse because she'd showed up one day for a party in a musical concert and saw prince moses and thought, wow, he is kind of cute. (laughs) the queen initiated an affair with her husband's nephew, which caused all kinds of ruckus. it is common in contemporary scholarship to really disparage the royal school. these american missionaries get there,

stephen king with us.k across the great trolley of hong kong and there is the foundation of the hong kong and shanghai banking corporation. you have a window into asia that is unique. is this pandemic enough to derail the pacific rim experiment? stephen: the good news is that some of these countries have had epidemics,rience of and there was sars in 2003, and lockdown policies early on that the rest of the world did not understand. china appears to be a better place than other countries and the same might be said for singapore, south korea, and so on, even though they have had more recent difficulties with the risk of reinfection in singapore itself. the bigger, longer term question is how does the world emerge from this whole story six months, a year down the road? it may be the u.s. and china are looking to show global leadership and scoring points off each other in the future and in the process of point scoring, china will be trying to offer firmer leadership for asia than it has done in the past. tom:
