happy lincoln's birthday. so proud and grateful to be asked to do another lincoln's birthday talk here at the new york historical society. two years ago it was snowing on lincoln's birthday. last year it was sleeting with ice. so i think lincoln might have been another president who was not too unhappy about global warming. just a guess. tonight i want to talk -- give a speech about a speech. and here is a spoiler alert, only masterpieces qualify for that kind of an analysis. so let me call your attention to the fact that lincoln's inaugural address if you had any doubts is indeed a masterpiece. i think most of you already know this speech, at least the most familiar part of it with malice toward none, with charity for all. that phrase long ago became part of the national vocabulary, sort of the go-to quote in america about forgiveness and reconciliation. but i think it's also been misused frequently, interpreted and deployed as a call for sectional reconciliation between southern and northern brothers after a

lincoln saw me.lit up and it allowed voice heard throughout the east room, here comes my friend douglas. think of the meaning of that phrase, in a white house that had been a and exclusively white house, except for a few servants. not even all the servants, they weren't even allowed to be servants. think of the meaning of that, here comes my friend douglas. after that kind of an inaugural address. then there's a long receiving line, and lincoln beckons douglas to break the line, which he did when douglas visited the white house privately year before. and as douglas approaches, lincoln said douglas i saw you in the crowd today listening to my inaugural address. there is no man's opinion i value more than yours, what did you think of it? i think it's classic, enough about you would about me? but still it's a great moment. and douglas replies, mr. lincoln it was a sacred effort. and lincoln's final words to this man, with whom he had collaborated on a plan to further emancipation proclamation, he said i

happy lincoln's birthday.i'm so proud and grateful to be asked to do another lincoln's birthday talk here at the new york historical society. last year it was sleeting with ice, so i think lincoln may have been another president who was not too happy about global warming. just a guess. tonight i want to talk, give a speech about a speech. sheer a spoiler alert. only masterpieces qualify for that kind of analysis. so let me call your attention to the fact that lincoln's second inaugural address, if you had any doubts, was a masterpiece. i think most of you already know the speech, at least the most famous part, with chalice for none and charity for all if is a go-to quote about forgiveness and reconciliation. i think it has been misused frequently recently. interpreted and used as a call for sectional organization after a bloody civil war. i think that it is less than that. and also much more. aligned as brilliantly crafted and timely, coming at the end of a great war, and as merciful, is bound to be well recei

you note in your piece on charmworlds lincoln, that carl sandburg said lincoln remarked, "it matters not to me whether shakespeare would be well or ill acted with him, the thought suffices." and you go on to note that after seeing the merchant of venice played by edwin booth, lincoln said "it was a good performance, but i had a thousand times rather read it at home. if it were not for booth's playing, a farce or a comedy is best played, a tragedy is best read at home." tell us about the overpoweringly important influence of shakespeare on lincoln. lucas: with shakespeare, of course, what lincoln discovered there, in part, informed by his great reading of the bible, even though he wasn't a conventional church go-er or church member, i should rather say, he did go to church and actually rented a pew, but he never pledged membership. he wasn't a conventional christian believer, shall we say, but deeply steeped in the bible. and of course, you see that suffused in shakespeare. so, in shakespeare, lincoln is seeing someone who is not just rendering morality plays, if you will. you're seei

lincoln bed in the lincoln bedroom.this is actually a painting that was done by an artist named peter -- he did a series of these portraits that showed different moments in white house history. obviously, out of the white house was decorated in certain moments. this is supposed to be a picture of what is today the lincoln bedroom. and lincoln's time, it was his cabinet room in his office. if you've seen the movie lincoln, you probably remember that space. there were maps on the wall. he had his desk. he had a large rectangular table right in the middle. that is usually where the cabinet gathered. so he actually used the lincoln bedroom space as his office and the cabinet room. but just pay attention to these details and what it looks like because it changed pretty rapidly over time. now one of the first visiting foreign dignitaries to come to the white house was prince albert. when he came to the white house during the lincoln administration, the white house did not even really have a guest suite. they just sort of had

lincoln does sign it. did, there are several people we must consider and i happen to be a fan of a man who was originally not born under the name he's going to be better known as. he was born as jeremiah coolbear and he will go on to be the 18th vice president of the united states, he will also be the -- a senator from massachusetts. and i'm going to leave that to the audience. i know we have some people here -- does anyone know who i might be speaking about? thank you, by the way. and we understand that it may have been his own upbringing. here is a man whose father offered him -- according to tradition, at least -- if you would take my son, i'm willing to change his name to whatever it might be, whatever yours might be, in order to give him an occupation. and yet the fact that henry is not properly recognized, not since his demise. black people in the city knew him for two things, being a major force on behalf of abolition and emancipation. they also honored him for being a force behind getting rid of th

that was lincoln's notion.e tried it several times. >> he never got anywhere in congress, but when he was president of the united states, he still was enamored with it, and he had a famous meeting with african-american leaders in which he said, come to the white house, i want to talk to you. what did he actually say to them? >> what he said was, i need your support in this idea of colonizing parts of central america, that we would sent the newly freed to central america, and many of the african-americans, the notion of going outside the united states by choice was a debate within the african-american community. the notion of being told to leave really angered so many of the abolitionists. so people like frederick douglas were really offended and attacked lincoln when it became clear that his initial notion was send these people outside the united states. >> so for those who may not be expert on what frederick douglas did and who he was, he was a freed -- i guess he was a slay who had escaped, eventually bought

he debates with lincoln.he really was seen as somebody who would sort of demanding that america live up to its stated identity and stated ideals. he's not the only person to do that, but he was considered the most visible african-american in the 19th century. >> he was very articulate and very eloquent and many people were surprised by that because in those days if you were a slave you were not allowed to learn how to read and it was considered against the law in some states? is that not the case? that it was against the law? >> in some states yes. >> what was that appeal that people were so surprised to see such an educated african-american at that time. >> there were two things that were crucial to enshave people. one was freedom. that was the most important thing, that maybe the key to freedom was education and being able to read and so douglas was able to learn to read by playing with some of the children he grew up with and overlooking a kind mistress who gave him lessons and someone who was a voracious

lincoln -- the members of lincoln's cabinet, very often groaned when lincoln would start to tell a storybecause they knew these stories would go on and on and there was business to be done. sometimes the stories had a point, a moral. for example, at the end of the civil war, when jefferson davis was on the run and nobody could quite figure out what to do with him, lincoln did not want to try him for treason. lincoln wished that the davis problem would simply go away. lincoln was all in favor of a very speedy and lenient reconstruction. but he had to have sort of some policy about what to do with confederate leaders. lincoln said it brings me in mind of this baptist that i used to know. this baptist was quite opposed to the use of any alcoholic beverages. but he came down with a fever. and his doctor prescribed a certain amount of whiskey, once a day. and the baptist couldn't decide whether to follow his conscious or his doctors orders. he told his wife, there's a punch bowl over there and if unbeknownst to me you could slip a little bit of that whiskey into the bunch, then i could drink

he debates with lincoln.as seen as someone who would sort of demand that america live up to its stated identity and ideals. he is not the only person to do that, but he was considered the most visible african american in the 19th century. >> he was very articulate and eloquent. many people were surprised by that because, in those days, if you were a slave, you are not allowed to learn how to read. it was considered against the law in some states. is that not the case? it was against the law and some of the states? >> in some states, yes. >> so how did he actually learn how to read? part of his appeal was that he was educated and people were surprised to see such an educated african american at that time? >> there were two things that were crucial to enslaved people. one was freedom. that was the most important thing. the other thing was that may be the key to freedom was education, being able to receive. so douglas was able to learn to read by playing with some of the children that he grew up with, overlookin

lincoln himself had an idea in 1849 as well.citizens in the district. there is the founding of the washington abolition society in 1827. and various attempts, there's also in abolition society in alexandria. both groups existed in the same area. so we have people. one of the earliest petitions was signed by all of the judges on9w so we saw people thatrlgz were repulse by the site of slave coffers in the district. walking across capital square. one of the earliest female reporters talks about being surprised at a slave sale at the foot of capitol hill. she talks about how it's near where the peace memorial is. so for you hard-core d.c. historians, they have not moved the peace memorial, so it gives you a sense. that was literally at the put of capitol hill. she was so discomforted and disoriented that she stepped by accident on the very platform where the slave say it was going to occur. her husband had to pull her off a bit. so things got a little dicey there. so what we see our legislators like henry wilson. we see the judges o

lincoln referred to in his inauguraladdress. it lincoln referred to in his inaugural address.e need to end this civil war. a, about the need to end this civil war-— civil war. a beautiful shot from the _ civil war. a beautiful shot from the lincoln - civil war. a beautiful shot| from the lincoln memorial civil war. a beautiful shot - from the lincoln memorial and it is not lost on anyone that joe biden picked that place to deliver that message because just like lincoln, biden is taking over at a time where the united states of america is torn asunder by division, race and politics and everything else. lincoln was famously able to prevail in terms of the civil war. we have a civil war of ideas and politics right now but unfortunately over 240 yea rs but unfortunately over 240 years later, race still seems to bedevil the united states of america and now we have an opportunity to do better. you heard it talked about the convention, unity, you heard it in his acceptance speech in november, you heard it again today and tonight, and that will be the theme going forward, to uplift pe

what is lincoln going to do?ncoln is going to send a relief force that would just deliver food and supplies to nderson's men. but if they were opposed, if they were fired on, they were going to bring reinforcements as well. the confederate government views this, delivering the food. but as an act of war because again, they didn't believe they had the right to the fort. so on april 4th, the relief expedition is sent by lincoln to charleston harbor. on april 10th, president jefferson davis tells beauregard to tell anderson to evacuate the fort immediately and if he does not, to reduce the fort. the next day on april 11, 1861 this man, james chestnut, who sed to be senator from south choirnl who had resigned, was a colonel in the confederate army, he along with captain stephen d lee and alexander chisel row out there, meet with anderson, and tell him his options. anderson says he is going to be starved out in four days and he will leave then. chestnut is going to take that and ge back to beauregard, they discuss it

abraham lincoln, lincoln's a mad so patient proclamation. the gettysburg, last invasion. and all of those have won the lincoln prize. who else would you give it to? >> the story of most human societies has followed more or less predictable pattern, it is the pattern of tribes. sometimes tribes establishing control over others by war or subversion, or of tribes breaking free of that control. and in both cases, led by a charismatic leader whose reward is god like power overall. these tribes identify themselves by language, ethnicity or soil. but their story is mostly the same. us, not them, power, not liberty, stasis, not transformation. 244 years ago, from they intellectual milieu of the intellectual indictment broke from this pattern by it and fine itself by the natural and inalienable rights of all men as received not from some legendary leader, but from the almighty creator himself. 11 years later, this nation wrote a republican instrument of government that turned all of its attention to how those rights could best be secured. in a world of empires and monarchs and ser

>> i reached out to the lincoln project, john weaver blocked me on twitter when i put the accusationi reached out, a young man by the name of garrett herron wrote an open letter to the lincoln project, another young man told me he approached last year several lincoln project members telling them what was going on with john weaverve and they said nothing about it. i have these messages and i haven't released the most embarrassing messages but it's not the question of whether he did this, the question remains who in the lincoln project knew he was doing this, doing this under their name and doing this to be predatory. >> laura: especially when they are moralizing against others including president trump, we'll stay on this -- thank you. my retirement plan with voya keeps me moving forward... even after paying for this. love you, sweetheart. they guide me with achievable steps that give me confidence. this is my granddaughter...she's cute like her grandpa. voya doesn't just help me get to retirement... ...they're with me all the way through it. come on, grandpa! later. got grandpa thing

also, the vehementlytly anti-trp lincoln project has an issue within their own leadership, of their founders, thatabout one journalist is here with the details. aoc and her colleagues suffer from a huge disconnect while hollywood turns on the council culture? raymond arroyo explains it all in seen and unseen. but first, impeaching america. that's the focus of tonight's angle. the grandstanding today at the u.s. house, it was really hard to stomach and i hope you didn't waste one minute of your precious time watching. it was just another political exercise in futility conducted by self-righteous, out of touch blowhards. >> he has been the orchestrator of this attack. >> he is unfit to hold office. >> racist in chief. >> they have stoked the fires and handed the gasoline the donald trump. >> it was a grotesque of deadly white supremacists. >> impeaching the white supremacist in chief. >> laura: i thought it was like watching at one point maybe a baltimore city council meeting, that's how impressive it was glen mitch mcconnell has already announced he's not reconvening the senate before the bid

abraham lincoln at the beginning of the presidency was fixed on this idea of colonization. we will free slaves but move them to another country because clearly it will never work and frederick douglass will take lincoln to task and i think arguably before changing the idea about that so douglass is up there with the founders in terms of where he belongs in american history and this biography is long overdue and is a fine piece of work. >> it is unique. i've never read a book like it. it mixes the opinion with the facts and chronology it's not a traditional but it's a powerful book. it's about a man in washington climbing up that ladder. talented, destroyed personal relationships and friendships and consumed by ambition. he was credited with being the author of the war and when he died he was the special envoy for afghanistan and made great strides to get america to take a look at its involvement. but at the end of the day the tragic figure in terms of what he was willing to do. .. >> i think it's one of the best biographies i have ever read with a completely different style

president abraham lincoln. maybe we should follow some of lincoln's wisdom that he's imparted upon us in moments like this. as abraham lincoln was giving his second inaugural address in march of 1865, lincoln issued us a challenge. this is what he said. "with malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as god gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan. to do all which may achieve a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all our nations." madam speaker, in times like these, let us -- let us not reach out to our darkest demons but instead like lincoln seek the higher ground. may god bless this great united states of america. i yield back. >> the gentleman from new york is recognized. >> madam speaker, we can have all this, but we have accountability, too. i now yield our remaining time -- one minute to the distinguished majority leader o

here's what the lincoln founder steve schmitt had the to say. we will sue the [ expletive ] i am so happy i am choked up. he was operations chief for john mccain's presidential campaign in 2008 and last month steve registered as a democrat after 29 years in the gop. i was listening to that thing, steve and i was waiting for your tweet because that was some crazy nonsense. rudy giuliani said, even steve bannon was shocked by rudy giuliani saying it and asked him to expand on it and he couldn't. >> well, what's amazing about it, ali is that at the end of it when you cut it off when bannon goes to, you're killing me. you're killing me because steve bannon knows he's going to get sued by us also and he is and so is donald trump who is rudy giuliani's client and rudy giuliani is acting on his behest, but look, it is very difficult to sue somebody for defamation or libel in the united states, but our lawyers are telling us that rudy is well across the line so we're thrilled about this. it's the weekend, obviously. our lawyers are working and as soon a
