them lafayette.n they get rid of the aristocratic title the aristocratic title was the marquis lafayette and his family name was duarte. he would have been citizen citizen more ta not citizen lafayette. one of them gets dropped and the other thing is that the other people who are pushing for that kind of stuff were his political enemies. that's the french revolution with the red liberty caps and 1792, 1793 in 1794. lafayette is rejected by the revolution because the people who were doing that in the french revolution were his enemies so i was by this point feeling like i don't know the title fits with the book i'm writing and from the faxes i'm encountering them and marquis came along and said citizen marquette is a little dry. and i said okay we can change the title. >> these titles and books attend to all of us alike. >> we wanted to give it a more modern look in the same way that i wasn't trying to write a social studies report on lafayette and we were not trying to do books like every other found

citizen lafayette.> yeah. never say the title of your book before. never. huge mistake. >> so, you felt like heroes a revolution where a better description of? it >> yeah. there were a couple of things that fit into it. i think that the two things happened simultaneously. one of them, just to get this off the plate, the marketing department came back and said, we would prefer something a little punch here, right? but when the sales and marketing departments said, it's fine. but can we think of something a little punch here, something that jumps off the shelf, as sales and marketing departments are want to do, i was not at all opposed to. it i had named the book really before i turn on the research on it. when i went back to, even as i was writing it, there was no time in lafayette's life where he was called citizen lafayette. when they moved to that nomenclature, one may get rid of the aristocratic titles, his aristocratic title is the marquee de lafayette. his family name was--. he would be citizen --

citizen lafayette. when they moved to that nomenclature, one may get rid of the aristocratic titles, his aristocratic title is the marquee de lafayette. his family name was--. he would be citizen -- not citizen--. there was no time where you are combines the citizen with the law. one of them would get chapped. the other thing is that the people who are really pushing for that citizen --, that kind of stuff, where his political enemies. right? that face of the french revolution, one it was all that citizen this, citizen that, with red liberty calves, in 1792, 1790, three 1794, lafayette has been rejected by the revolution by that point because the people who were who were doing that in the french revolution, where his enemies. so, i was already, by this point, feeling that i don't think that this title fits with what the book i'm writing. also the facts that i'm a countering with. and then citizen lafayette, it's a little dry i said, okay. we can just settle. >> it's a great. title a great. title i like

she saved a lafayette saliva.and she risked her own might again, and again, and again during the french revolution in ways i cannot even imagine being that courageous. but all of her contemporaries described her as being without jealousy. end of this perfect saintly temperaments. you see a little bit of less than saintly temperament peak out in some of her letters. she complains to lafayette at one point when he is sort of a nagging her about getting back their property at some point. she is essentially sayingsh listen, buddy, after the best i can. i am walking around france, on foot. and you can just sit down, shut up and wait for me she said infinitely nicer than i just did. but when you see the teeny peaks of impatience you know there is a real flesh and blood person behind that. so you tease those threats out if you can in the story. and with adrienne i might have exaggerated a little. the other characters in the novel, beatrice tanner i also had her letters. she is extremely funny. she was a comedic actress i

she saved lafayette life she risked her own life again, and again, and again.ut all of her described her as being without jealousy and of this sort of perfect saintly temperament. you see a little bit of less than saintly temperament peak out and some of her letters. she complains to lafayette at one point when he snagging her about getting back there property she's essentially saying listen buddy i'm doing the best i can. i am walking around france on foot. and you can just sit down, shut up and wait for me to it finish. she said infinitely nicer than i just did. but we see those little teeny peaks of impatience you know there's a real flesh and blood person behind them. so you tease those threads out if you can in the story and with adrienne i might have exaggerated just a little because she probably was a saint. [laughter] on the other characters in the novel beatrice chandler i had her letters. she is extremely funny she is an actress in her day. that really comes through production mention she's also an author. at one point she wrote she had submitted a ma

if lafayette talks about administrators and docent name that.und a photograph of a little girl who was in a classroom of little boys at the capital, she has braids and is looking at the camera in challenge and when i saw the photo i thought there you are, there is a hole in the story and i'm going to fill it with this character, so that's what i did. so yes it is fictional but she is instilling that because that is what i did there. ith felt that it elevated the story and by the way i want to say you say her name so lovely. you make a soundo that i cannot. i decided to make fun of that a little bit in the book early on. sheth says americans always butcher b her name. so i'm going to continue to butcher her name. i think that in historical women's fiction when you're doing biographical fiction which this mostly is, you want to stay as close to the factual truth as you can while still telling an entertaining story and bringing out the themes that make the readers feel something. we want you to feel something about this because therete are great bi

and as peter mentioned, a full quarter of lafayette population are ethnically, russian. the chief editor of the bolt news website believes authorities there are holy, ignoring the values all about grouping. intellectual community shane. this is a criminal decision made in the context of the crisis in ukraine. attempts to impose this decision on the routing majority have long been tried and the situation has formed such this become possible. this was taken advantage of a program was announced to dismantle all military graves and soviet monuments. this monument was a holy place for the russian speaking population. and hundreds of thousands of people come from many cities on mass. on may, the 9th and the latvian nationalists did not care about the opinion of these people, their values reg.

we're talking about lafayette and westbound 24 right in front of the lafayette bart station. and we had the lanes blocked for a time. the lanes are open, but people are getting through. now it's getting a little bit better. and just as i suspected, we're seeing some more people show up at the bay bridge. not much, but just a little more. i think they're going to start seeing a little bit more of a backup now, as people from contra costa are being able being able to get through, so if you are going to san francisco, you might want to get on the road early ish before it gets really crowded. we'll see what happens this week is going to be a little bit interesting, because i think a lot of people are. you know, it's just a week before a lot of schools start and we might have people taking vacations. this is a look at interstate 8 80. as you can see, traffic is moving. okay there have been no problems on the same mateo or the dumbarton bridge, and so far the south bay has been relatively quiet, 7 10, let's go back to the desk. okay, so one of the stranger symptoms of covid was los

so i think there's some parallels between the democratic republic party and lafayette's patriot party which was also kind of you, know, moderate and democratic so. i think it did in the inferences ideals and i think you helped kind of give him the momentum because he wanted to recreate what he thought lafayette and others were doing in the u.s. when he got here. >> -- of course presidency--. >> you really brought it back, yes. and that ultimately succeeded in when he was elected president, he called it the resolute revolution of 1800. he thought it was as important in its own way as a revolution of 76, the first time there was a transfer of power obviously from one party to another but jefferson saw this as this was the voice of common people, of farmers, of urban artisans, very much carried on the work of the french revolution. he wrote that the french revolution was just the first chapter in the history of european liberty. we thought it would spread to all the countries in europe. you want up taking a while. y much about jefferson, but you >> one last question you touched on. just

. >> reporter: within minutes, sergeant david cohen with the lafayette, colorado, police department pullsi'm going to count with you, try and go with the counting, okay? keep up with that pace if you can, okay? >> hold on, i think they might be -- up here, up here! >> reporter: cohen sprinting up the stairs and into sofia's bedroom. >> what is her name? >> sofia. let me take over cpr. does she use narcotics? >> reporter: he doesn't think so. he only knows of her smoking a little weed. but officer cohen's experience told him otherwise. >> slight pulse, narcan administered. >> reporter: as the approaching ambulance gets closer, the narcan kicks in. >> she's breathing, yes, sir. >> reporter: sofia had taken a percocet that came from a drug dealer, not knowing it was laced with fentanyl. >> a synthetic opioid used to treat severe pain that is up to 50 times more powerful than heroin. >> i'm bored in my room. and i notice, you know, i have half this pill. why not? like, it will make me cheer up. i crushed it up, took a line, felt kind of sparkly for two seconds, and i woke up in the hospital.

so he's he's behind the scenes working with lafayette on you know, promoting liberty. and and promoting the the new the new national assembly into taking a greater role so he came back to america very inspired. he thought that he didn't for see the the reign of terror and the bloodshed that would happen. he didn't know about the wars the revolutionary wars that would happen in the 1790s yet. he just came back thinking that france is basically going to do what we just did we're gonna have a successful republic. on and it took him a long time to stray from that idea. he was a very strong proponent of what the french were doing. he clashed with hamilton in the cabinet in hamilton much more pro-british, but it was eventually i think jefferson jefferson and madison formed what they called the republican party the democratic republican party, we often call it today and it was inspired in part by what happened in france. in fact, they were kind of sticking up for the french revolution and trying to keep us from aligning too closely with britain. so i think there's some parall

. >> host: would you make of the lafayette square incident that happened in january of 2020 where the president walked through? there are different types of problems. post-9/11 to put up the barriers at every possible opportunity. >> guest: the present is lafayette square as a i prop tht the bible which he held upside down outside of st. johns church right across from the white house and he brought along the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff who understandably felt used. he should not put them in that position.re again don't get me back on presidents. it's an example of the formative aspect of our politics that is degrading politics. it's almost entirely performative outfit people making gestures. courts have to decide and they have to give reasons and opinions and appearances and a sense which is why it's where we do political philosophy in this country. we don't have the second treatise on government and we don'tom have tobias month. we do constitutional lawyers these philosophers about the nature freedom and freedom is supposed to inequality. we the time. >> we have seen recent

will asian, for example, as victor gao believes lafayette on the stony a will regret their decisions. i think it reflects that these 3 baltic countries really, 1st of all, think too much of themselves. they are very, very small economists on the global scale and whatever they do will not make a big ripple in international economic and trade relations. on the other hand, let me warm these 3 baltic countries that it is wise to be hostile to one of the largest they call them is in the world. after all, china is the largest economy by purchasing power parity and china's the 2nd largest economy. by a few, jo, eccentric next to the united states and china is the largest the treating nation with more than $130.00 nations in the world. it will be actually in the problem, the minds of interest of countries like the old as tonia, the doing the m and b, m to work together with china and other countries in eastern or central european redo for mutual benefit. international cooperation will definitely be mutually beneficial. however, the way these 3 baltic countries handled themselves in dealing wi

his wife, his young wife the marquis de lafayette is in prison. her name is adrienne. she was imprisoned in the same city you just arrived in. these are friends of the family, important folks. to dothe life's uncle, this ise uncle of adrian, pleads with mondaire out to do something. do something to free her from this prison in paris. guess what? the chances of her being executed more really, really, good. really high! this was not a joke. this wasn't just some slap on the wrist. this was a serious thing. the problem is monroe, james monroe is in a really tough bind at the time. as an ambassador, he cannot make these waves. they are just starting off as a country you can't go over there making all these demands. he had to walk this tight line okay? what do you do? you want to help out the wife of your friend who more than likely is going to be executed you want to help her out but you can't what do you do? this is where elizabeth comes in, okay? you can imagine this young woman in france with all this new stuff, all these new sites and sound probably a little scared a l

kennedy made to save lafayette square. she in her research at the kennedy library realized that it was the day after the television tour aired, february 15th of 1962, that mrs. kennedy took a walk through lafayette park with david finley. she understood for the first time the full extent of the plans that were in place. and i think again, here is a mentor reaching out to her, and utilizing her great appeal. i have to imagine that he knew that if someone can make a difference in these plans, it was jacqueline kennedy. she was really quite horrified to find out what was in store. in fact her own husband had already approved it. not because he necessarily thought it was a good idea, but i think as government goes, things get rolling, and she did not feel that way. she, i think was maybe buoyed by the popularity of that tour, and by the popularity of her program, and thought that she could lend her name and influence to this, but before long, she was writing a letter, i'm sure recommended by david family, to the administrator

highway 24 in lafayette a bit sluggish.'re in one that creek headed to this point, be aware southbound 6 80 at north main, there is a collision there. let's take a look at the san mateo bridge, where pretty heavy traffic heading over to the peninsula. no major issues to tell you about on this bridge or when you get over into san mateo county. 8 49 let's check in with steve paulson. alright thank you, ali. we'll take a look at yesterday's temperatures because they will be very similar today in scope as far as being kind of cool to hot, half moon bay was 65 yesterday they have a quarter mile visibility in fog at the half moon bay airport this morning and 54 degrees city was 72 normal is 68 oakland 77 redwood city, 84. kent field. 89 san jose 93 santa rosa 94. nevermore just like the freeway had one. oh one today 66 to 1. oh, 6 40 degrees spread here. there's a lot of fog on most of the coast. not all but most, but it's already hazy and getting warm fast for some inland areas . i should add a huge surge of monsoon moisture is

you will say you lafayette, on this donia have poll, died from the cooperation group known as the 16 plus one trade group. the organization consists of countries within europe and china. explaining their departure, the foreign ministries of both states said they will seek relations based on mutual benefit and respect for international law in 2012, beijing launch the 16 plus one initiative in an attempt to expand business on the investment opportunities in europe. latvia and estonia follow another baltic nation lithuania, which exited from the group last year. china has not yet commented on that the coupling less cross live. now to victor gao, vice president of the center for china and globalization, thinktank unsure, a professor of su chow university. you are most welcome. why do you think that if you tell in an riga have quit the cooperation group with china for zillow, it's very unfortunate. secondly, i think it reflects that these 3 baltic countries, really, 1st of all, think too much of themselves. there are very, very small economies on the global scale and whatever they do will

she she did later on talk about how when she discovered what was going to happen at lafayette. where that it was going to be ripped down and horrible things put up in their place. she just you know, she just couldn't stand by and let that happen. well, i have a very favorite question that i like to ask. smart people terrific collection of smart people on stage with me today and this is this is a hard question. these are these have been the warm-up questions. now, this is this is the this is definitely the hard question one day. there will not be a first lady of the united states even though this has been the case for 230 some odd years one day there will undoubtedly be a first gentleman in that role as the first spouse. so, how do you think when that happens when that day comes this is called a hypothetical when that day comes how will this role of preservation that has been assumed by first ladies as we know that we've already heard of that has been historic. how do you think that's going to change will it change a little bit will it change some what will it change greatly? so

jefferson's friend, the marquis de lafayette, was one of the leaders and became the leader for a brieferiod of time. they were trying to establish a constitutional monarchy in jefferson, in fact, thought that was the best of france could do, could hope for. he was very instrumental behind the scenes. in fact, jefferson drafted an early version of what became the universal declaration of human rights. france's declaration, rather, of the lights of man, which also influenced the universal declaration. i should, say to crack. myself so he's behind the scenes, working with lafayette on, you know, providing liberty and promoting the new national assembly to taking a greater role. so he came back to america very inspired. he thought that -- he didn't foresee the reign of terror and the bloodshed that would happen. he didn't know about the war the, revolutionary war set would happen in 1797. he just came back think that france is basically going to do what we just did. they're going to have a suspect successful republic. and it took him a long time to stray from that. if he was a very strong

the ppt was senator lafayette foster who was a republican. the problem was that the time lafayette foster was in the wilds of new mexico territory, with oversight on the government treatment of native american tribes. cabinet secretaries were only able to find contacts to foster by sending a korean riding horseback from the nearest outpost. after some effort the korean finally located the senator in a remote corner of the territory, sitting peacefully by a campfire. the telegram beseeched him to head towards the nearest big city to establish communication with washington, d.c., and lighting kc had become acting president. three years later in the in impeachment trial of andrew johnson, the senate came within a single vote for elevating senator lafayette foster -- as was mentioned, in 1886 legislative session was removed but then it was reinserted into the line of succession. since democratic president harry truman did not have a vice president from 1845 to 1849, a speaker become closer to becoming acting president than any other speaker. not
