mary lincoln?> that she is a very sensitive person. that she could empathize. >> how controversial would it have been for her to be friends with an african-american? >> i think it would have been to some extent. even though people kept calling elizabeth keckly her servant, but i don't think mary looked at her as a servant. i think she considered her to be a companion. >> richard, your favorite story? >> well, i guess i'd say in the case of what might have been, lincoln of course served only one term in congress. his opposition to the mexican war ensured he would not be re-elected. so it was mary who managed the campaign to try to get him a government job, the job of commissioner of the general land office at $3,000 a year. it was mary who wrote the letters. in the end when he was offered in its place the governorship of the oregon territory it was mary who turned it down telling him that oregon was not wiig friendly, likely to be democratic and would not advance his long term political interests. t

mary todd lincoln, or mary todd, was born in lexington, kentucky.'re going to visit that place next. >> we're at the mary todd lincoln house. this is mary's girlhood home, where she lived from the ages of 13 to 21. this is not where she was born, but her birthplace no longer stands. so this is the most significant property still standing related to mrs. lincoln's childhood. >> we are in mary's bedroom. she shared a room over the years with various sisters and also with various cousins who lived with them. the todds did have family members who came to live with them here in lexington, and that was primarily so that those family members could attend school. >> lexington was known for its educational and cultural institutions. mary lincoln had at least nine years of formal schooling. she first attended wards academy, which was within walking distance of her birthplace, and then she went on to attend madame mentelle's academy. >> at madame mentelle's academy, mary learned everything that was expected of women of her class, such as needlepoint and dancin

she signed mary lincoln.here did the mary todd lincoln reference come. was it modern or did she use it. >> it was modern. she didn't, from what i understand. >> that was a 20th century -- >> and lincoln famously said, mocking the preten shus of his family, god only one name and those of kentucky needed two. she probably laughed the first thousand times she heard that joke. but he's 6'4" and she's 5'2" if that. and he had a habit of introducing them as themselves as the long and the short of it. another joke she probably endured more than enjoyed. >> well, i might tell you at outset, the programs work because they're interactive. in a little while we'll get to your phone calls and put the phone number on your screen and if you have a question via facebook go to c-span facebook page or tweet us. with a question or comment make sure you use the #firstladies. so 1860 as the election is won. let's take a brief look at the country. there were 31 million people in 33 states, 11 states were to break off soon thereaft

mary: yes. we were iny that, the attic, and all we had was our footlockers, that was the only piece of furniture we had besides a cot. and we were told that the latrine we could use was on the wasnd floor, and there steps that went down. that was on the third floor, we went down to the second floor for the latrine, and we were restricted to only going to that latrine. we weren't allowed to go into the hospital. downren't allowed to walk on the second floor. we were confined to the attic and to the latrine. at thehen we got a look latrine, we were a little upset because we looked in the door and all we saw was a and on thel sinks, commodes withw very limited shelter about them. they were mostly not complete. so that was that. and when we looked in, of course, we were children from in depression, and we looked , took one look at that row of h, saturdayaid, uh-o night bath. interviewer: what about the facility? mary: terrible. interviewer: equipment? mary: terrible. medicine?r: mary: well, we didn'

mary: i do. when we are driving our new vehicles, we are also seeing what we are competing against in the marketplace. we are constantly taking a full view of the market. avid: when you are driving car and need gasoline, do you else?he gas like anybody do the people at the gas station say you are the ceo of general motors, you should not be pumping your own gas? reason why't see any i should not be pumping my own gas, and i do. i usually don't have a conversation with anyone. today, as you look at general motors and the overall u.s. economy, are you comfortable the economy can come back and you can do reasonably well this year? i assume you will not sell as many cars this year as last year. the market will be down in the united states this year. it is too early to tell how the market will rebound. sell evenontinued to through the early months and weeks of covid. we continued to sell. it is starting to recover but we are not back to a comparable week last year. we think it will be down. it really

or mary are never settled in. or. were never you could use a frat boy to me. i'm looking at printers you my friend you weren't exactly frank corson but i wouldn't call you fat guy actor you did have a therapist and you had sort of a lawyer in bendix 30 bork died sort of stuff that could touch you but i would say that. now. i work that in of jobs on i learn how to apply the fact. what. you're in new york you've met mira you obviously have your guru you knock it out of the park i think you'd get a big score with 3 petty opera at some point a lot of guys were saying i'm staying in new york i don't want to go out to hollywood it's it's the devil's candy but 7 drew drew yat they're what took out to hollywood at. well i got tired or new york i got tired of the unions not really being good unions i got tired of the stagehands who did not put the play 1st but put their next paycheck 1st and i wanted to be in a place where there was good unionism and good support systems all from top to bottom and i found it in california.

what, i actually met mary on the ward and i told her, mary, it's not safe for you.was helpless. the nhs trust responsible for the hospital says the first patient to have tested positive for coronavirus wasn't admitted onto her ward till after mary had gone on sick leave with pregnancy related problems. while holding his newborn, ernest says he doesn't believe that was the case. we find it a bit difficult to comprehend, because even at the time mary was off sick, some of her colleagues were even self isolating. in a statement, the trust says, "we are extremely saddened to lose mary. we have carried out a full internal review into the circumstances surrounding her death, and we are confident that she received the best possible care and support from the trust." it also says, "we have sent our deepest condolences to mr boateng and are currently working through a number of issues he has raised." do you think that your anger that you're feeling at the moment, that you are perhaps taking that out on the trust? for me, i think mary was not treated fairly. her family has not

mary: wow. lemonis: and so it's always very dangerous for me to think about investing in "a," a cyclical business, which is the furniture business... -steve: correct. -lemonis: ...and, "b," a multigenerational business that doesn't have the smoothest of transition plans today. i get the sense based on a few things yesterday you feel like you're the only one with good ideas. steve: you have to convince me of what your asking or doing or saying. and if i think it's totally wrong, i'll tell you my opinion. lemonis: what happens if steven gives you his opinion? do you process that, or do you dismiss it early? steve: no, i process it. i do dismiss it often. lemonis: are you confused sometimes, when you come in, what your role is? steven: yeah. yeah. lemonis: so, when i think about your financials, it does look like a labyrinth of debt and mortgages and bank revolvers and -- steve: right. lemonis: there's $1 million in debt, not enough working capital to sustain any sort of downturn. fixing up the mac

i have a wide breadth, and i know you do, too, marie, in terms of the people we gather with. >> marien't think we have the same country we were two weeks ago. progress is sort of -- you take two steps forward and you take one step back, but to your point, we have already seen progress in these two weeks. as we talk today about police brutality, we have to remember that this moment is about so much more than that. we are in the middle of a pandemic that is killing black americans at a much higher rate than white americans. we have to talk about equality in health care, and employment, and education. in this movement is about what kind of country we want going forward. it includes how we police our streets and how we take care of our citizens, but it is so much bigger than that. that is the legacy that george floyd's death had sparked a conversation in this country that has historical roots, that picks up on some progress we've made. we keep taking steps toward but this has shown us in this country and in this moment that we have to make that progress you spoke of. we have no other opti

hi mary. >> hi, thank you for taking my call,. we were just, wondering we noticed, i wondered if the natural surroundings and original area around the home has been changed. the roads seem to go right up to the. door were the roads widened at one, time or did the home back then sit that close to the street? >> they sat that close to the street. it was right on main street. and i have heard tell that it was very much a scott irish follow-through, and many of the people in that area were of scot-irish descent. >> so bringing what they knew from ireland and scotland to be right in the center of town and to be right on the streets. >> how much landed they have at its height? >> well, he had about half an acre with the home state when he owned it there. and about two acres with the yard now. but even as a leader family lived there, they would buy pieces as it came up for sale, to sort of make a buffer around the property. >> >> kim alicia writes on facebook, "i visited their first married home in greeneville, tennessee. i was fascinate

mary just couldn't seem to handle it.nd of course she had an awful lot of death in her life. >> hi, kathy, you are on. >> caller: hi. i just was wondering how miss johnson felt about her husband's impeachment? >> we're going to talk about the impeachment just a little bit later on. thank you for that question and we'll work it in as we work our way through the history of the johnson administration. next up is a call from nan in lo lo, montana. >> caller: hello. >> do you have a question? >> caller: yes. my question is why -- the impeachment of johnson and it's associated effect in his, and then the impeachment of our recent president clinton, why is there such a dissimilar effect on how he's looked upon in history. >> the impeachment such an important part of the johnson administration. let's move into that. johnson's fight with the radical republicans in congress. i'm going to have both of you talk about that. first of all, his big decision was to keep lincoln's cabinet. he was of a different party than most of them. so

but mary jackson spread word the day before. she was talking up this riot that was going to take place. or not this riot, but a protest that was going to take place. mary jackson was described by "the richmond examiner" as a good specimen of a 40-year-old amazon, with the eye of a devil. another paper said she had a vixenish eye. and i will talk a little bit more about the portrayal of the women in the bread riot as we go on. but mary jackson arranged for women of the town to meet in belvedere hill baptist church in oregon hill, which is a working class neighborhood. and at this meeting, they decided that they would go with a body to the provision stores and demand goods at government prices. so that was their goal. they wanted to be able to go to the market and pay the same price that the army was paying for the goods that it purchased for the soldiers. now, it's kind of interesting about this meeting that took place in the church because, immediately after the riot, the pastor of the church paid for an announcement in the pape

>> marie: not at all.president made a mistake and said something he shouldn't have said, he has a lifetime of work on behalf of civil rights and when you compare him to how we see president trump responding, a lot of people yesterday were sharing the juxtaposition of two photos, one of joe biden in a church, meeting with local black leaders, talking about injustice and how to help and the other is president trump standing in front of a church holding a bible that he had to clear out peaceful protesters by tear gas to get to that photo op, that was a juxtaposition we saw yesterday, we have a new poll out this morning because we are talking about politics, 11% of independents believe that president trump is handling the protests well. 11. that number, talking about politics, this issue is the only one that's broken through covid and coronavirus and president trump's handling of it, he's come nowhere close to rising to the moment and when i think back to, brought this country together. that is what i want tod

so, but primarily newspaper articles. >> next up is mary in omaha. hi, mary. >> hi.nk you for taking my call. we were just wondering, we noticed that i wondered if the natural surroundings and original area around the homes have been changed? the roads seem to go right up to the door. were the roads widened at one time or did the homes back then sit that close to the street? >> they sat that close to the street. it was right on main street. and i have heard tell that it was very much a scott irish follow through and many of the people in that area were of scott/irish decent. >> bringing what they knew from ireland and scotland to be right in the center of town and to be right on the streets. how much land did they have at the site? >> well r, he had two acres wit the yard now. but even as the later family lived there, they would buy pieces as they came up for sell to make a buffer around the property. >> kim alicia writes on facebook, i was fascinated that eliza taught andrew to read and write and was no doubt influential on his politics. do we have any evidence of e

marie? >> marie: i'm sorry, harris, i didn't mean to step on your toes there. you're fine. >> marie: the president wants to pretend like coronavirus is no longer a threat. we see in numerous states, including oklahoma, the numbers are rising. they've had the highest rates of infection over the past several days. oklahoma, arizona, south carolina. the president wants to pretend like we won this battle, and we haven't. this is his demonstration of that. if people come away from this rally sick, when you have health officials pleading with him not to have this rally, it is indicative of the fact that he wants to move on. he wants to talk about anything else, and unfortunately the virus has a mind of its own. and we can't. >> harris: i'm going to move on myself. after the cancellations of "cops" and "live pd," another television cop to get the ax. weather canceled culture folks are going to fire. happen every day. people are surprising themselves the moment they realize they can du more with less asthma. thanks to dupixent, the add-on treatment for specific types o

actually met mary on the ward and i told her, mary, it is not safe for you, you need to get out of herethe first patient to have test positive for coronavirus was not patient to have tested positive for coronavirus was not admitted onto her ward until after mary had gone on sick leave with pregnancy related problems. while holding his newborn, ernest says he does not believe that was the case. we find it a bit difficult to comprehend because, even at the time mary was off sick, some of her colleagues were even self— isolating. in a statement the trust says... do you think that your anger that you are feeling at the moment, that you are perhaps taking that out on the trust? for me, i think mary was not treated fairly. her family has not been treated fairly and, for that matter, i believe my voice is what i have now. mary at her son's second birthday last year, dancing with her father who died from suspected coronavirus five days before she did. painful memories for ernest as he tries to contemplate a life without what he calls "his first true love". there's no amount of ways that really

it was home to john and mary aiken. mary was jane pierce's sister. they were very close friends throughout life and mary was there for jane at all of her most important times in her life. jane and franklin came to andover to visit the aiken family. they came here with their son, benny, to visit the cousins. mary and john had children and franklin and jane become very close and attached to those children after their son passed away. the family stayed at 48 central street which, is referred to as the summer white house. it's called that because franklin pierce would come visit his wife in andover. jane would stay with her sister, mary, at 48 central street and he would come visit them in the summers in particular. it's believed that the administrative staff stayed at 47 central street just across the road from them. jane and franklin were staying in andover because there had been a death in the family. jane's uncle, amos lawrence, had died, and so they went to boston to attend that funeral. they returned to andover so they could pack their things and h

she appealed to the first lady, mary lincoln, and asked for money for these encampments. mrs. lincoln wrote to the president and said we will give them 200 dollars to help fund this relief association. the president and the first lady would continue to give money. it was people within the african american community who are helping gather foods and provide shelter, provide money, and so these encampments were funded through church groups. not only was elizabeth working in the d.c. area, there is another woman harriott, who was formally enslaved and she found her refuge in up in new york where she met a quaker woman, they teamed up together and came to alexandria and worked with these contraband camps and provided money, food, shelter, clothing and they also helped establish education. and many churches offered education, night schools, not only for children but adults so they could become illiterate, they could read, right, sign their names to contracts. because they were starting to look for and get jobs. a lot of the women working outside these contraband camps, women inside

mary mary. acted very rapidly but she's also potentially attracting some of her own higher political aspirations do you regard what's happened here is the success of the movement or is this potentially about politics and such a highly charged climate and also an election year. yeah well i think it's a combination of both i think that we have gotten to this place in this country where we're seeing the walls of policing come out in many ways we're seeing police departments being their budgets being cut love sandals being a great example we're seeing. schools and no longer want police in there and they're in their schools and so i think this is because of you know years and years of work organizers and movement that have called for this for very long and you know kesha is not any member of this not in an electoral season right now and so you know obviously she does have aspirations but unless we see real real life. changes to the police budget then you know we're going to continue to grapple and sh
