why write about mary washington? we've all heard the story of george washington, but why write about his mother? >> because she is a misunderstood figure of history. she has been badly treated by american history. there has never been a definitive biography done of george washington's mother, which i thought was remarkable. it's not just because she had to give an answer, it's how she raised him. her husband, augustine, died when george was young. she was in her 30's raising six children. that alone would resonate with a lot of women in america today. the tough times she went through raising her children. to byhe was referred biographers, from her passing to the time of the civil war, she came across as june cleaver. war, realismil began to take hold in american literature with moby dick, tom sawyer, huckleberry finn, and all of that. also, the biographers who mentioned her made her look more like joan crawford, so both got it wrong. there were elements of both of her character and makeup, but both got them wrong. i

my wife, mary. see? mary, she's free. daniel, daniel! >> okay, at the heart of this story, a central fact. that slave holders throughout the entire period here, from 1800 to 1860, were separating families and selling people, or attempting to sell them into the interstate slave trade, with deception, and with speed. this is what we might call sudden sales. slave holders used this tactic, a sudden sale, to the slave, not tell them what's happening, sell them quickly, transport them to washington, d.c., out of maryland, and then on the ships, or marched, or on the train, to the deep south, to louisiana, to the sugar fields, or to the cotton fields of mississippi. these sudden sales were quite obviously meant to in some cases avert possible freedom, to avert what the law might dictate in a particular family that might have a legitimate claim to freedom. to place people suddenly out of the reach of the courts, rip them away from their family networks, remove them from the possibility of being able to contact an attorney, much less gather witn

>> marie: know.hink what's interesting is we all learned the lesson in 2016 that having the most money doesn't make you a winner. hillary clinton had a lot more money than donald trump your money doesn't equal victory. joe biden's competitive with these numbers. what's interesting, a couple points, elizabeth warren really tanking. she had a surge, she was going up and up in the polls and she is flatlining. >> lawrence: why do you think she's thinking? >> marie: i don't know, it's a good question. she maybe thought she could steal from the burning folks but the resurgence of bernie sanders. as dana said, he had a literal heart attack on the campaign trail but if you look at how much democrats are willing to invest in this cycle, if you add up all the numbers come whoever the nominee is is going to be very well-funded. democrats are focused, they're willing to spend for the senate race, the house. they are very invested in the cycle over all. >> lawrence: it seems like the impeachment bush is backfirin

like you're not doing yourself any favors by attacking him on twitter. >> marie: absolutely. john kelly yesterday said he thinks john bolton is telling the truth. what bolton has reportedly written in the book is consistent with a lot of other testimony that we are hearing. what i've heard is that a number of republican senators are saying look, if we don't hear from him as part of this trial and his book comes out in three months and has even worse information for the president, we need to get it out now. if we vote to acquit him or vote not to have witnesses in his book comes out, that's a problem for us. one thing yesterday that a lot of democrats are picking up on, her home state, the caucuses on monday. she said caucus goers in iowa, they may change their minds about joe biden. they may be changing their minds based on what we are putting out about joe biden. that's a paraphrase. a lot of democrats are saying wait a second. you are using this to hurt joe biden politically? that's what would been accusing you of doing. she gave the game away publicly. that's an interestin

mary: i don't. i can't speak for kathryn, but my assumption is that all of us assume that the court will eventually inform or name overturn roe. i don't agree that it will happen as quickly as kitty is saying. if you can take anything away from justice kavanaugh, the court at the moment will be having its long conference in deciding whether to take to medical on the merits. this was just a decision about whether louisiana is admitting privileges law would go into effect. justice kavanaugh dissented from the decision to block the law. he seized on what is one vehicle that you will see the court use. but the undue burden test that came out of casey has always been ambiguous. even in its new form, it's very much based on the facts on the ground. the argument was basically, the court has seen this law before. it is the law the court struck down in 2016. this is insulting the court's intelligence that we are having this conversation again. kavanaugh says, the facts are different. there's not enough proof

mary: a great question.ael pointed out, this is political theater we are seeing today where the benefits of continuing the conflict, escalating the conflict were outweighed by the increasing cost president trump felt domestically for farmers and manufacturers and consumers. moving to see how will toward a conflict with europe play out? i think it is a different kettle of fish. americans generally have a positive impression of europe. the european union is one of our closest and most valued allies. it is going to be harder to sell the idea they are somehow cheating us and then look for a broadbrush approach with them. the bullying tactics we have seen out of the white house vis-a-vis china will not work on the european union, not just because the union will rebuff it , but because i do not think it will sell with the american public in the same way. the same way that perhaps a tough closed fist approach to china will have on both sides of the aisle. guy: how to the folks in china see the story unfolding, the
