it's not just the battles of lexington and concord, but it's the day and how people evacuating their houses. you had and women and children and old people going out of their houses into the countryside. you had the minutemen past concord bridge watching the british march past them, not firing on them. they march past them to go to another house to look for artillery. and it wasn't until the british came back on the other side of the bridge that the firing finally took place. so, there was a question about whether they actually wanted to fire on the british. then towards the end of the battle, you had these horrible, horrible bloody incidents closer into boston where the british were massacring people that they cornered. and if people saw that, they would be horrified. if they saw the true story of that entire day, not only would it be exhausting, but they would be horrified. and that's an event that everybody thinks they know everything about. but it's not -- there's so much that's not known about it. and that's just a small microcosm of the entire war. there's just so much -- you co

kpix 5's devin fehely joins us now from the lexington reservoir with details. >> we were all supposed to reduce the amount of water we were using by 15%. the early report card isn't great. people living in santa clara county have only achieved a fraction of those savings, and the overriding concern is the time to get this right, much like water itself, is supply. >> reporter: itlye 's reservoito see how serious the water shortage is. they are collect lee down 75% compared to a normal year. >> this could be just as bad as running out of water. think of lack of business confidence. think about what happens to folks when they have no water. >> reporter: the santa clara valley water district declared a drought emergency last month. the initial response, however, was lackluster. in june, water usage went down just 6%. >> our residents tend to eventually respond pretty good. yes it's at 6% right now, but let's give it a couple months. >> reporter: terry craven with the water district's board says much of the savings will eventually come from how much we cut back on watering our landscape. >

as the war moves forward glover is involved in lexington and concorde. he's involved in many of the other battles. he also has the job of guarding general washington prior to the battle of bunker hill and here john glover forges a very special relationship with the commander-in-chief. he forms a level of trust and his trust, it's general washington that looks upon john glover to solve a problem for him. 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 day of lexington and concord, you know, it's not just the battles of lexington and concord, but it's today. and and how people evacuate evacuated their houses, you know, you had women and children or old people and pregnant women and you know, leaving her houses and going out in the countryside. you have the you have the the conquered minuteman and with with some other joint-ins standing on a hill. past conquered bridge watching the british march past them. not firing on them. they march past them to go to another house to look for artillery and it wasn't until the the british came back and holding on the other side of the bridge. that the firing finally took place, you know, so there was a question about whether they actually wanted to fire on the british and then towards the end of the battle you you had this these horrible. horrible bloody incidents closer into boston where the the british the british were that they cornered. um and if people saw that they'd be horrified. you know, what if they saw the true story of that entire day not only would be exhausting. but they'd be horri

very seriously, he treats the british soldiers that are wounded at lexington and concorde.t, he's canceled. the patriots of the town believe he is now a loyalist. and his house is surrounded. and he writes an extraordinary letter which i have here in my hand, the original parchment. he begs for his life for eldridge gary saying there are thousands of peoplethat will kill him at any moment . please send a detail of men to bring me to a court-martial so i can reveal the true facts of what happened . and he confides in his true friend joseph warren as well as eldridge gary and they have a court-martial and the facts are revealed. doctor bond is exonerated from state crimes that he didn't do anything wrong, he pejusthelped people which is what it is supposed to do but instead of melting away , and not being happy with the situation he decides to fight . and he joined the marblehead regiment as their surgeon and doctor bond goes on to be a company commander and fights through all the major battles of the americanrevolution . i mean, y ndextraordinary in and of itself. and that's

class and it was more about the causes and more about the effects and yeah, there was a battle at lexington and yorktown but if you want to learn more about that read on your own or whatever. it was like i've been waiting to find out about this in class and it was blown over in a couple sentences. that's where, you know, personally that's where i think like the places, being able to go to the tavern, go to brandywine battlefield, go to the places where the actual history happened, is great because you actually go there and learn from the site and from people who are knowledgeable about the importance of these places and that history that often times is kind of blown through in school or classrooms, you know, teachers have all sorts of competing interests in lots of different subject matter and lots of different things. acknowledging. >> i'll tell you, i think in light of the time constraints and curriculum constraints and all that stuff, i think the best thing that a history teacher can do or an english teacher or whatever, but history teacher what we're talking about right now is to ignite

their contact with spain part of the revolutionary war and as the warrw moves forward involved in lexington and concorde and many other battles and he also has the job of guarding general washington prior to the battle of bunker hill. and here john glover forges a very special relationship with the commander-in-chief. and he forms a level of trust. it's general washington the looks upon john glover to solve a problem for c him. gunpowder is crucial and the colonist had no gunpowder and the british new and they tried to disarm us through gunpowder but it would be the context through spain to bring in that crucial gunpowder that also would be a novel way that washington would try to capture more gunpowder by that to me that to do that operation so he turns to john glover and the navy basically takes a fishing boat, which was 74 times and somehow takes on the greatest navy in the but that's exactly what they did in attacked british ships. and the story of the navy is extraordinary. some of the most colorful captains in american history. the red dragon and side martindale to spend a lavish amou

and participates in the battle of lexington and concorde. and then to treat the british soldiers that are wounded and the patriots in the town believe he is now a loyalist and his house is surrounded and he writes an extraordinary letter where he bags for his life to say there are thousands of people that would kill him at any moment. and then to bring me to a court martial to reveal the true acts of what happens. and to have the court-martial in the facts are revealed and he is exonerated from the state crimes that he didn't do anything wrong. that is what he is supposed to do. but instead of melting away and not being happy with the situation, he decides to fight. he joins the regiment and then he goes on to be a company commanderhe. he fights through all of the major battles of the american revolution. which is extraordinary in and of itself. and that is the battle of trenton when half of the regiment goes back to marblehead. they have a reason to go back. marblehead at the time is economically devastated.g. many are starving. they go bac

with spain prior to the revolutionary war and as the war moves forward, john glover is involved in lexington and concorde. he is involved in many of the other battles. he also has the job of guarding general washington prior to the battle of bunker hill. it is here that john glover forges a very special relationship with the commander-in-chief. : : : , it's general washington that looks upon john glover to solve a problem for him. gunpowder is the crucial economist had plenty of guns, no gunpowder. in the british, they try to disarm us through gunpowder but it would be the context that the marble headers had brought in the crucial gunpowder but it would also be a novel way washington would try to capture more gunpowder by attacking british source and have. the new a ship to do that operations so he turned to john glover created navy. the navy, which is preposterous, to take basically a fishing boat john glover had which is about 74 tons somehow take on the greatest of the world, the royal navy but thatt is what they did and they attacked ship the story of the navy is extraordinary. it's the

then he came over as the third in command of the british army landing just weeks after lexington and concord had just been seeing some action that ankar hill. he served i think with some distinction in a couple of years before he is named commander. he won a reputation in some circles as the best strategist among high-ranking officers. he had more than 30 years of experience >> he did a good job as commander but he had the misfortune of becoming commander as the same time as france and of the war and now that britain had to fight both the french and the americans they had to withdraw some of their troops from america and send them to the caribbean to meet the new threats posed by the french. when clinton read disorders he discovered that he had to immediately relinquish 8000 of its troops and he had already lost all of his troops who surrendered at saratoga. he did have an army that was considerably smaller than the army that the british had had in america a year before but despite that his orders were to bring washington to battle and hold on to new york, hold on to rhode island and

instead of that happening in lexington and concord, and particularly the day after that faced the british when they marched back from concord to boston and then they had a chance to score a dramatic victory two months later at bunker hill in boston, and really they could have scored a bloodless victory. the third in command at the time advised general gage, look, send forces around to the back side and we'll pinion the american rebels up on top of the hill and we can score a bloodless victory, but they didn't do that and they marched up the hill and marched into a disaster. and there were two instances in the campaign for new york in '76 when i think if the british had acted resolutely, first roof in brooklyn when they had half of washington's army trapped and again in september of 1776 when washington really foolishly kept his army on manhattan and didn't get off that the british to have annihilated the entire army at that point and any of the victories would have won the war for the british and another chance in 1777, the plan that london devised was for an army to come down from canada

instead of that happening, lexington and concord occurred, and particularly the disaster that faced the british when they marched back from concord to boston. and then they had a chance to score dramatic victory too much later at bunker hill in boston. and really they could've scored a bloodless victory. sir hillary clinton who was the third in command at the time advised general gage, look, just send forces around to the back side and we will pin in the american rebels up on top of the hill and we can score a bloodless victory. but they didn't do that and they marched up the hill and marched into a disaster. there were two instances in the campaign for new york in 76 when i think of the british had acted resolutely. first on brooklyn when they had about half of washington's army trapped and again in september of 76 when washington really foolishly kept his army on manhattan and didn't get all, that the british could have annihilated the entire continental army at that point. any of those victories would have won the war i think for the british come and they had another chance in 1777.

with spain prior to the revolutionary war and as the warto moves forward john glover is involved in lexington and concorde and many of the other battles and he also has the job of guarding general washington prior to the battle of a bunker hill and it's here that john glover forges a special relationship with the community and he informs a level of trust and his trust general washington to solve a problem for him. gunpowder is necessary as john adams says the colonist had plenty of guns but no gunpowder. in the british knew it and they tried to disarm us through gunpowder but it would be the context that the marvel headers had with spain that brought in the gunpowder but it would also be a novel way that washington would capture more gunpowder by attacking the british stores but he needed a ship or ships to do the operation so he turned tod john glover to create a navy and the navy which is preposterous is to take a fishing boat that john glover had which was about 74 tons and somehow take on the greatest navy of the world the royal navy, that's exactly what they did and they attacked british

i walked into my first dispensary here in lexington in midtown, next to bloomberg. this is pretty mainstream corporate america. ed: good way to spend their lunch break. matt: i didn't buy anything. i was curious. ed: i'm interested. as this opens up and more lenders want to get in, what does that look like? will we see the big banks getting in, some combination of firms like yours and traditional finance to support this? len: i think you'll see a lot of alternative lenders in the space. state banks. you are already seeing that, by the way. when i collect my loans, we get wires, like a normal lender. none is legally listed on u.s. exchanges. we think a couple will be. and none at scale. if we can grow fast enough and differentiate, build that moat about what we do with our customers, that's important. but we need more lending in the space. i hope safe act passes next year. matt: what is safe act? len: there is this whole idea of legalization, but the first step is something called safe act. it will make visa and mastercard possible at the stores. it will give more ar

esterbrook was wounded with captain john parker's company on lexington green. it's likely there's many as 40 to 50 african-american's were with the militia on on the wars first day. two months later at least 88 black and 15 indian soldiers are known to have served at the bunker hill battle when a story an estimates. the total may have been as high as 150 roughly 5% of american troops involved. there are several council black participation in those early actions, but this is my favorite speaking to the courage and resilience of american africa of african-american soldiers. and the effect one man's determination had on another. john greenwood a white soldier noted of that day everywhere the greatest turn confusion scene prevail seem to prevail. as they ran along the road needed to bunker hill was filled with chairs and wagons bearing the wounded and dead never having be held. he held such a site before i felt very much frightened a good positively. filled my hair stand on end. just as they came near the place and negro man wounded in the back of his neck passed m

be fine gardening, both inspiring under lexington. she also enjoys making miniature versions of her giant sculptures. it's strange how you can also just a block of materials. you can kind of create some sort of character in the thing. i'm quite happy to sort of put these creatures out for them to have a life of their own. and, and i enjoy watching them from the the curtain. debbie lawson carpet creatures are a huge success with firms around the globe. ah, i'm thinking one of those bears would be great company here in the studio is i'll have to get on that right away. well, that's all for now. so until we meet again, thanks very much for watching. do stay safe and ah, the news ah was right in front of them. they're all for this one moment. suddenly, we agreed to postpone the or lindsey game said tokyo with $22421.00, thrown off course during the quantifying round. not least for sports heroes, actually, it was a slap in the face, but now we just have to fight there, mobilizing superpowers. when i was fired up and ready down during walk

thunderstorms will erupt through areas of western kansas, evansville to paducah back to louisville, lexington, even columbus and detroit. it's not going to rain all night but we will see a period of heavy rain with storms very much like we see in the early summer. and tomorrow kind of a messy rainy day buffalo to syracuse. and tomorrow afternoon, thunderstorms are likely from new york city through southern new england right down through the mid-atlantic areas, raleigh and charlotte included it's not going to rain all day, but when it does, it will pour and as far as the forecast goes for the rest of the country today, very hot from texas alltp california and in oregon and then the great lakes that's where we'll see the coolest temperatures in the country with rainy weather. that rain has to go somewhere, guys i'll tell you where over the weekend coming up. >> i can just guess because it's been that way every single weekend.

ellison barber returned to one hospital in south carolina >> reporter: a year ago the covid icu at lexingtonedical center was pushed to the brink. this week doctors say it's feeling like deja vu >> we could very easily be back in a similar situation. >> reporter: this man is the newest covid patient admitted to the icu, and dr. phillip keith is trying to figure out if he needs to be on a ventilator >> there is a very high likelihood he'll require, you know, more invasive care. >> reporter: around the corner is another covid patient. just 26 years old, receiving a plasma exchange because some of his organs are failing. a week ago there were zero covid patients in this hospital's icu. today there are nine, and four of them are on ventilators the vast majority unvaccinated >> obesity would probably be the only diagnosis of some. others have no conditions at all, and otherwise really the only link is that they're not vaccinated. >> reporter: almanzo cromer was one of dr. keith's covid patients, hospitalized for nearly two months. almanzo was eligible to get vaccinated early in the year but didn'

good morning to you from chicago, santa fe, lexington, phoenix, and happy to see our friends from theeorgia commission on the holocaust. when did your father encounter japanese diplomat chiune sugihara? leo: my father never wanted to get back to bialystok anyway because he held the communists in such horrible stand. so the idea of leaving the russian rule was one of the main forces for him. of course, everyone understood that the nazis were only months away from capturing the city. a rumor had it that the japanese counsel general in lithuania, in the been capital of lithuania, would possibly give transit visa to the jews that wanted to leave russian rule and the fear of nazi occupation. and so, he along with thousands of others -- these are the very few that manage to get out of the horror that was to follow in the holocaust. it was sugihara's bravery as a diplomat to deny the orders of his government because they did not want him to issue these transit visas. if anyone understands what a transit visa is, they have seen the movie casablanca and if they have not, i urge you to see it.

good morning to you from chicago, leo's hometown, santa fe new mexico, lexington north carolina, phoenix, arizona and happy to see her friends the georgia commission on the holocaust good morning to all of you. now, when did your father encounter japanese diplomat? they have to bear my father never wanted to get back because he held the communists and such the idea that leaving was one of the main forces for him. and of course everyone understood the nazi are only months away which is then the capitol of lithuania would possibly give visa to the jews who wanted to leave russian rule and the fear of not see occupation. and so he there are very few that managed to get out was the bravery as a diplomat to deny the orders of the government because they did not want him to enter the transit visa. anyone understands they probably seen the movie casablanca. the only hope you have of escaping and certain death that it probably is anyway. and so the council general gave out over 2000 visas. those 2000 could represent a lot more because the visa that was presented we ended up getting out. the need

philip has finished his work on the lexington avenue line, that was published in december.h and west end lines from brooklyn out to coney island. because of the pandemic, there has been some hesitation on my part to go back to the city, concerned about my health, which is good though, thank goodness, but as a researcher, i have to go back. i will go back, i want to go back. i haven't been in the city for a year, i want to see how it is and what it feels like to be there again. it was familiar stomping grounds to me for a long time, i kind of miss it. and finally this week, a trip that, frankly, still gives me nightmares. i am not the most confident public speaker, so when i was entered into a public live storytelling competition back in 2016, let's just say i was less than enthusiastic. the idea came from a poet and novelist who wanted to recreate the feeling of southern sultry summer evenings in his native georgia, when moths were attracted to the light on his porch where he and his friends would gather to tell stories. now, people from cleaners to school teachers and war

he came over as the third in command of the british army landing just three or four weeks after lexington and concord and just in time to see some action at bunker hill. he served with some distinction in the couple of years before the name won the reputation in some circles as the best strategist during that time. he was 48-years-old, two years older than washington they had to withdraw some of the troops when clinton read the orders he discovered that he had to immediately relinquish 8,000 of the troops and he had already lost the troops that had surrendered at saratoga so he did have an army that was considerably smaller than the british had had on america the year before but despite that they were to bring washington to battle. my fate is hard as he put it in a letter that he wrote almost immediately after being named commander he said he thought it was inevitable britain would lose the war and he feared he would be scapegoated for the law and it turned out that he was pressing and because. he wasn't dynamic enough and he hadn't done enough they argued to have won the war that britain

when the second continental congress assembled in philadelphia a month after these events at lexington and concord in may 1775 the delegates to that second continental congress were under instructions from their colonial legislatures. to find a way. to patch things up. with britain, that's what they've been sent to philadelphia to do to patch things up reconciliation. and redress with the order of the day few at that point may 1775 few at that point were thinking of using this congress to ferment insurrection against the monarchy. or to use it to break from the empire upon which the colonists obviously depended for trade and security. in fact, it was actually king george the third. who first declared the colonists independence? for them here's how he did it on august the 23rd 1775 the king over london issued a proclamation. the word of the king saying that the colonists have proceeded to open and avowed rebellion and that because of that they were now outside his protection. because of that they should now be punished as traitors. that's august 1775 and in december of that year the bri

good morning to you from chicago, leo's hometown, santa fe, new mexico; lexington, north carolina; phoenix, arizona; and also happy to see our friends from the georgia commission on the holocaust. good morning to all of you. now, leo, when did your father encounter the japanese diplomat, sukihara? >> well, you must remember that my father never wanted to get back anyway because he held the communists in such, in such a horrible stand so that the idea of leaving the russian rule of vilna was one of the main forces for him. and, of course, everyone understood that the nazis were only months away from perhaps capturing the city. and rumor had it that the japanese consul-general in lithuania, what was then the capital of lithuania, would possibly give transit visas to the jews that wanted to leave russian rule and the fear of nazi occupation. and so he along with thousands of others that were in vilna, theirs cape route. theirs cape route. now, mind you, these are the very few that managed to get out of the horror that was to follow in the holocaust. and it was sukihara's bravery as a diplomat

then he came over as the third in command of the british army, landing three or four weeks after lexington concord just in time to see action at the hill. he served, i think with some distinction in the couple years before he is named commander, a reputation in some circles as best strategist among britain's high-ranking officers in america during that time. at the time of his appointment, 48 years old, two years older than washington but more than 30 years of experience and i think you did a good job as a commander. but he had the misfortune, i think of becoming commander at the same moment france entered the war and now that britain had to fight both the french and of the americans, they had to withdraw some of their troops from america to send them to the caribbean to meet the new threat posed by the french so when they have these orders, he discovered he had to immediately relinquish 8000 of his troops and he had already lost all his troops who surrendered at saratoga so he would have an army, he did have an army that was considerably smaller in the army that thero british pattern amer

that is in fact how mary todd comes to springfield, she's coming from her home in lexington, kentucky visiting springfield. and it's there that she meets lincoln. now, it has to be said in all candor, that needing lincoln was not always the most easiest thing to do. all right, let's be frank. the man is homely. he is, i'm sorry. it really is true. and off with the big years, the big nose, the high hello cheekbones and although the collar and the stock tie ten to mitigate it, his neck reminded you of a giraffe. the man was six feet four inches tall, most of the hide in his legs. if he was sitting in a chair here, will be the same dimensions as the rest of us. is there was money stood up, he suddenly -- watching and can stand up from a chair was like watching a jackknife unfold. he was awkward, he spoke with a peculiar accent, very high pitched 20 border state type of accent. and he didn't really sound elegant. inelegant however was the word you would probably is most about mary todd. most of her todd relatives did not understand what was she saw in lincoln, and tried to talk or out of

people know lexington and concord and saratoga and valley forge, and even yorktown. whether you consider virginia a southern town or mid-atlantic. why don't people know savannah? what about kings is in the what about florida? the fact that it actually existed at the time. so i do have some of my own theories. i would love to at some point have a discussion about your theories at some point. but here are mine. first the school. before i go any further, don't hate on the teachers. i am in no way blaming the wonderful teach here's have taken on the task of educating our youth. they are dealt with difficult hands with very few resources and they do the best with what they have. so this is not hating on the teachers. but schools seem to be teaching more northern campaign than southern. and this generalized statement that i've just said is my own hypothesis after studying multiple state curriculums, as well as informal polling of some teacher colleagues about their use of the curriculum in the classroom. the reason they might be not doing quite as much education on the sou

i can see walking by lexington avenue, so many of the stores are not just closed, they are not thereanda: one thing we know, even if we were emerging from a pandemic, there is a lot of pain that we have not yet realized yet. it appears they may well be another terrible leg down in america. you wonder if government programs have to be extended again, or whether that is too much to ask at this point. but there will be some vulnerable people caught in the middle of those who may be vaccinated but will still suffer because so many are not. matt: we all have sympathy for people who are in a difficult place because of this pandemic. we are going to talk about people on the other end of the spectrum now, focus on the higher end of housing that only those with means can afford. joining us to discuss is bess freedman, ceo of brown harris stevens. we are talking about million-dollar apartments, homes, rents that are at least five figures, if not more. what does this market look like in new york? we heard about how it got hit during covid, everyone wanted to move out to the suburbs, but that se
