she made more than mark twain. i think that is an interesting comparison. whose name is remembered today? even though anne elizabeth dickinson was more famous than mark twain at the time. this woman started her own business as a wall street banker. she advocated for free love, which means sex outside of marriage, which was definitely outside of the norms for women, 1870s. and she also ran for president on a third party ticket. she was the first woman to do so. we have a nice portrait of her attempting to vote, or asserting her right to vote, as she would see it. she voted when you weren't supposed to vote as a women. and lots of women at this time were doing what would be referred to today as illegal voting, because it was explicitly illegal for women to vote. victoria woodhull was one of thousands across the country who thought to change the system by going out, voting, getting arrested, not paying fines, and serving a sentence in jail so they can appeal through the court system. and they tried to change the laws that way and they failed and there was anot

history doesn't repeat but it surely rhymes said mark twain. if one looks closely at the history of ukraine one will notice many rhymes. being surrounded by stronger powers ukraine has needed a lot of cunning to survive and the art they truly mastered with time is the art of changing sides. in the middle of the 17th century ukrainian leader dunn who. broke a truce agreement made with poland siding more powerful russia. just over 50 years later as the russian swedish war was raging another ukrainian leader ivan mazeppa. the union with russia when he switched sides joining forces with the swedish invaders many times ukrainian history was written by 3rd parties seeking to keep the gains of a revolution at any cost russia agreed to the humiliating conditions of the breast with screechy of 1918 which turned ukraine into a german protectorate another historical document that changed the fate of ukraine was the molotov ribbentrop pact of 19391 of many such agreements being signed between european countries and rising germany. attempting to protect his

disease ancestry things in a bit of lead find out that they're the 16th cousin of ronald reagan or mark twain or somebody but they can as you mentioned earlier turn up health traits tell you if your intended is a distant cousin do you feel as though this is a biological compatibility breakthrough or are we inching toward a less romantic test to future. i don't see it as designer babies or a test. future i think that this information is the future of personalized medicine and if used correctly it can be very helpful for people to know i don't think it's i actually think you have way more access to information than just making a choice based on how someone looks in a profile photo when you're swiping left or right now you can actually see a number of other factors by these proprietary methods are we really going to match and i'd also say the fact that you can now take something like 23 and me and look at that list of carrier traits and show that to someone that's so powerful right wouldn't you rather have that health knowledge now then fit find it out later on i certainly would well who else is

and where is mark twain mall in. come on up, mark. and his son jim who is a great wrestler.a great athlete. thank you very much. [applause] the wall is being built. you know where up to 122 miles. [applause] and that was not easy but we got the money and we are building it and we have won a lot of cases in court. we were sued all the way along the line that we are up to 122 miles in a very short time. we will be over 500 miles. it's already had a tremendous impact so the wall is moving along but i want to thank you and jim thank you very much. stay up here because we will be signing import legislation, piece of legislation that's going to give you a lot of water and a lot of dam and a lot of everything. you'll be able to farm your land and to be able to do things you never thought possible. and it is true though i think devin can say i never forget. gee it's so bad i never knew the drought was so bad and he looked to be like talking about? we have so much water we don't know what to do with it and this would take care of los angeles and it would take care of everything. you

although he passed away for the book came out, his publisher, who was mark twain his publisher , madet one of the biggest and best sellers in american history at that point. >> it seemed all of america was waiting to see if he would finish it before he passed. would you tell that story? craig: this is an example of how these books have been so central to american history. these books, in their own time periods, because of the publishing industry and the things we have talked about, they were news. they were at the core of what america was thinking about. grant was working on his book on his deathbed. the country knew that he was sick, the country knew that he was working on a book and newspapers would have headlines like general grant went for a walk today. general grant did not sleep well last night. general grant managed to write three pages. these are newspapers all over the country. there were telegraph lines that ran from houses close to his two other offices for updates. the updates happened in real time by the standards of that time period. the country was obsessed with it. whi

mark twain supposedly once said that history doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes. if we want to win current and future battles over public land we better understand the ones that have come before. the same went for the latest showdown with bundy. it would not be the last of its kind, that much i knew. there would be new lessons to be learned from the present struggle as well. i wanted to understand it all. when i embarked on my study i decided to drown myself in the mission and explored the national forest monuments, wildlife refuges and wilderness areas across the country that hung in the balance, in nevada and montana, i hiked in utah and hunted in alaska. i fished in wyoming and backpacked in michigan. i saved my feet in the dirt in the very places up for grabs and confront the reality of what the future might look like without them. i made a schedule of destinations for the next year and a half, sign up unsuspecting travel campaigns, but new gear, convinced my wife to join me on these trips, traveled together, plans to report back to my followers and headed out

presidential writings and the one that stood out was a grant's memoir which a grant wrote with the help of mark twain. it is not about his presidency but nevertheless, it is an enduring book, the memoirs of grant, that live on forever. those stocks of these presidents rise and fall. i was once director of the eisenhower center. we always thought ike was going to go up, up, up because the fiscal conservatives like him, and the liberals like him because the industrial military complex speech, and brown decision, and the fact of his general bowl josh his general amiable -- and the fact of his general amiable like. he is fifth. it was almost -- always true model gone -- it was always true in holding that spot. part of it also is because we ar have a new or appreciation of ike being the commander in world war ii. d-day. just as grant was president. >> while we were talking about lincoln, i would like to hear your thoughts on why it is that abraham lincoln at number one's book ended by the two worst? is that circumstance of history? character? what contributed to that distinction between those three men? >

it is theti law you are talking about is an evolution that came out, mark twain addressed the issues he was addressing, a professional draft system with the opportunities that may or may not occur for student athletes so the athlete in men's basketball to have representation when they go into a draft conversation with professional sports ranks and still have opportunity to go on drafted, come back and continue to compete, that was the first time that's ever been done. it's my hope that we can have a model put in place for women in all student athletes models that approach. it's one that's been tried, it's been working successfully now- for your. i think the members caps on as a pilot project and i hope we can extend. >> coming from a state that takes great pride in our women's basketball players, i think it is desperately unfair. i hope you will correct it. let me askhi you, when a school gets a one year scholarship it takes the young athlete out of school because of an injury ates the end of the scholarship, if the injury prevents him or her from playing, that is unfair, isn't it? >

he is a master marketer, and he understands, as mark twain said, that a lie gets halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots on. >> yep. >> and it's one thing to lie in tweets and, you know, people are absorbing them at different times, and it goes through the news cycle. but when you're doing it repeatedly in real time, and part of it is goebbels, the big lie. if you're saying you're protecting people with pre-existing conditions when you're in court trying to strip them of those protections at the same moment, that's not just a lie. that's a big lie. what i think is scary for a lot of democrats is he's going to run a big lie campaign all the way to the election. and on a certain level, unfortunately, lying works. people have busy lives. they can't go to the fact checks and find everything out, what's really true. and so this speech worried me, and i think you are going to see him get a bump in the polls out of it. >> rick, your reaction to the speech. >> i'm a little worried too. by the way, the goebbels idea is that familiarity seems like truthfulness to people when he

maybe our reports that michael bloomberg's death politically are greatly exaggerated to paraphrase mark twainguy, again, he's going to put enough money over the next week to completely cover up a lot of what happened last night, and who knows, maybe he'll actually listen to an adviser next week and be prepared for a debate, but that's a big if. it is -- it's hard, robert, gibbs, as you certainly know to change a politician's stripes when they're in their 70s. >> absolutely. and i think that's maybe the that's the interesting part of that nda answer. i can't imagine that didn't come up in prep. i can't imagine the group in that room didn't hear that answer. and if it was the public answer, and also the private answer, i don't know that there's a lot more that can change on that. i think jim makes a really good point, too, about bernie sanders. he's the most consistent performer in these debates. you know what you're going to get. he knows what he believes and he says it clearly. it's harder to get him off his game. he took some incoming last night. some of the questions he thinks he dealt with
