in maryland and later on. she's the woman who dealt with partner and she returns to maryland and we see this in the film, it's a little different in the film is hollywood. it was somewhat different, harriet tells a different story when she returns to maryland to help basically bring her free husband john come in with her to philadelphia, she arrives in maryland, she goes into hiding almost immediately. sends word that she's. and she wants he wants no part of her and he says don't you go see her, he sent a message says i don't want to see you. i remarried she's a free one. so this is one of the moments where mdiffers little bit from the film. the film does a good job once again i think showing and talking about black love you institution of slavery but in reality, harriet reports that she was but that turn to theory quickly. this is a woman and she was lightweight, what are i just traveled how far, think about this. i just want back into slavery however minimize heidi to come get you and you don't want me anymo

in maryland and then later on. she was a woman who dealt with heartbreak when she returned to maryland, we see this film -- a little different in the film but it is -- it's hollywood. still beautiful, black love is great, but it was somewhat different -- harriet tells a different story, when she returns to maryland to help basically bring already free husband, john tubman, with her, to philadelphia, she arrives in maryland, goes into hiding almost immediately, and sends word that she has arrived. and he wants no part of her and sends a message -- doesn't even see her. sends a message and says i don't want to see you. i've remarried. and she is a free woman. so this is a moment where it differs a little bit from the film. i think the film does a good job of showing and talking about black love, even under the institution of slavery, but in reality, harriet -- she reports that she was sad but that turned to fury, quickly. this is a woman -- she was like, wait, what? i just traveled how far -- think about this really.

i'm excited to work to government these laws, show their success in maryland so maryland can be a national leader and help drive the national conversation so ultimately can overcome citizens united federally and pass all these important reform measures that hiv-1 is taking on. >> rate, thank you very much. >> -- great, thank you very much. >> good afternoon. leader hoyer, thank inviting me. mayor, congressman sarbanes, i started to call you syndicate because i remember your father. and tiffany, thank you for your work. i would like to echo everything that's already been said. i represent the calvert county branch of the naacp look at things taking place at the state level with talk of a voter registration. that's great, we have to register people to vote but it's more important to get the out to vote. .. >> talked about the empowerment of voters, same-day registration. looking at regulations to make sure that people when they come to vote, they can register the same day if they're not registered to vote and if this can be a model for the nation it would be great. we look at the states that

i don't question my friend from maryland's passion at all. he says we have the perfect vehicle to get this done today. i refer you back to the rule, that perfect vehicle is called h.r. 550, the merchant mariners of world war ii congressional gold medal act of 2019. you haven't heard us talk about merchant mariners or gold medals yet today. because, as you know, madam speaker, this rule would strip out all of the language in the underlying bill that deals with gold medals and merchant mariners and replace it with matters of war and peace. i'll quote from the author of one of the amendments that is stuffed into the merchant mariners bill in place of the merchant mariners language, mr. khanna. who said in "politico" last week, majority leader hoyer has done an excellent job in figuring out a procedure for how we can get a vote on the floor on these bills without a motion to recommit. motion to recommit is what you heard folks asking unanimous consent for, a motion to recommit in this case would be the only opportunity for any voices to be heard

maryland's environment.majority leader hoyer, has worked to make democracy reform a centerpiece of 116thcongress and is also been a leader for the 700,000 members next door in washington, d.c. who lacked voting representation in either the house or the senate. congressman sarbanes' leadership on the for the people act led to passage in the house of the boldest democracy reform in half a century. we are deeply grateful to both of you. it's also important today that we recognize the important legacy of congressman elijah cummings. or use his authority on the oversight committee to root out voter suppression across the nation and was a passionate advocate for those whose voices are silenced. he left large shoes to fill and we must all do our part to continue his efforts to fight for voting rights and equality. that's why maryland lcv in partnership with the national lcv is proud to support the bold efforts by the house to prioritize democracy reform, and thereby prioritizing environment protection through for t

the maryland courts had pretty much decided that. ann bell potentially from 1824 until 1836, if she had been nothing as a free woman for more than 10 years, she could file a freedom suit and claim for once and for all, and the court might determine that she is free. we have three different pathways. well, so, after daniel bell negotiates the deed of manumission, that sets everything in motion. gerard greenfield attempting to sell him. it is complicated, let's wrap our minds around it. susan armstead clearly is attempting to subvert the will. excuse me, the deed of manumission. she is in touch with the greenfields. she essentially tells them that daniel bell has been manipulating robert armistead, her deceased husband, and that daniel bell needs to be dealt with. the first step she takes in order to possibly make this deed of manumission, this deed of emancipation unfounded, unsound, is to attempt to sell daniel, get daniel out of the picture. and so daniel bell is summarily sold by we think the greenfields. we are not sure, but there

to anyone, whether in maryland or elsewhere. okay. you're probably thinking, wait a minute, the will can't be the whole story here of the timing of this lawsuit. the will was in 1824. ash is sold in 1839. what happened? what happened in the intervening period? why is ash suddenly sold against the provisions of this -- obvious provisions of this will? first of all, we need to recognize for years gerard t. greenfield, the nephew, did nothing. he did not to violate the will. this will meant that gerard t. greenfield in tennessee had to keep james ash and ann bell, his sister-in-law, and others who fell under its provisions in maryland. he could not sell them. so in this situation ann bell in particular moved to washington, d.c. lived on her own. she hired herself out. she effectively lived as a free woman in a free manner. james ash was unable to do that. he was it appears continuously enslaved on a plantation in prince georges county, but probably hired out by gerard greenfield in tennessee. he's hired out james ash to work. he's

that will be coming from frederick maryland where he fought the battle and we'll get to rockville maryland right there and he'll split his force into two. his infantry will shift to the east and down towards d.c. and his cavalry will be on the georgetown pike and wisconsin avenue towards washington, d.c., and if he keeps on going down the road he'll go to tinnily town and right below that is georgetown. >> 1965 or '64. every avenue approach, and there is down the rockville pike, and we call it georgia avenue today. and at fort reno, and pennsylvania. there was a large single tower there and you can see the calms from miles away because of the dust. so what happens on the morning of july 11, 1864, they'll make the advance toward the capital. the 6th core has not arrived on the field yet and he'll run into resistance from the veteran reserve core elements from the 150th national guard and other troops protectioning the city. so let me read the earliest account real quick. so what do you see when you arrive your washington? this is on the actual report. we continue the march, and the day was

he loved maryland basketball and i still missed last season with him. wish he could been around last year and this year, but that's john's real passion, that an high school ball so about five years ago john calls me and asked me a question about high school ball and we talked about it and he said i'm working on a book about high school basketball and i didn't know he was doing it but we both covered things, late 70s early '80s so a lot of parts in the book i enjoyed because we were both of their and it went on and on and i have written 10 books now. they are torturous things to do and john i think took 12 years to write this book, i mean, in the last conversation i had with john was a few days before he passed and it was about maryland basketball and i was doing a piece pearl washington magazine about the 25 greatest athletes couldn't decide living or dead. we ended up going with living and i said where should lend the end he said not on the list and i said what are you talking about i will get run out of this town if i don't have him on the list and he

from the people in maryland, it's important. it opens up our poultry destroy much more business to canada and mexico. it's good for small businesses. it's good for government, labor, environment. i'm glad we were able to move that forward. host: you were in the house during the bill clinton impeachment back in 1998. democrats saying this is a political witch hunt. now republicans are saying the same thing against the democrats. as somebody who's been through this process twice, do you think that this town has become politically tax i can? have you seen a significant change in the comity between the two parties? sen. cardin: well, i can talk about the members themselves. my friends in the senate are both democrats and republicans. we do business together every day of the week. we're getting legislation done. we've already gotten some bills passed of major consequence in this congress, dealing with the chesapeake bay. we've gotten major bills done dealing with foreign policy issues. and with bipartisan working together, democrats

this was a one track railroad running from hagerstown maryland to harrisburg pennsylvania. it was used to move union troops , ammunition and supplies, and was often under attack. the center in pennsylvania hosted this talk. our little bit about speaker. we have with us today scott mingus and i've known him for a number of years but i really -- we know scott until he reviewed his bio that he sent to me. surprisingly he is a scientist and consultant in the global pulp and paper industry and he holds patents in self-adhesive postage stamp and barcode labels. never knew that. he is an ohio native. i graduated from the paper science and engineering program at miami university. while working for avery dennison. he was part of the research team that developed the first commercially successful self-adhesive u.s. postage stamp. he has written 20 civil war and underground railroad books and williamraphy of general smith won multiple awards including dr. james ira prizeson juniors literary for confederate history. he has also written several articles for the gettysburg magazine as wel

for the people of maryland, it is important. it opens our poultry industry too much more business in canada and mexico. it is good for small businesses, good government, labor and environment. steve: you were in the house ring the bill clinton impeachment, and in 1998, democrats saying this was a political witch hunt and now the republicans say the same thing about democrats. as someone who has been through this process now twice, do you think this town has become politically toxic? have you seen a significant change in the comity, c-o-m-i-t-y, between the parties? senator cardin: we do business every day of the week, me and my colleagues. we are getting legislation done. it's a major consequence in this congress dealing with chesapeake bay, major bills done dealing with foreign policy issues, and bipartisan working together, democrats and republicans peered but i would be first to acknowledge that under this administration, we have seen a political division like i have never seen in the united states senate or in the congress.

baker who is in command is on the maryland side trying to find boats. the title of the book incidentally is a reflection of that -- general stone rights to mcclellan and he says, i have troops over there, and we are a little short of boats. says,lan comes back and "keep me posted." he does not seem -- he does not seem concerned about that at first. how are we on time? are we ok? they are searching for boats and we have more skirmishes. it was the initial skirmish at 8:00. a fallback -- we have the initial skirmish at 8:00. they fallback. more confederate troops come. they do not have the time lag because they are nearby. about the time this happens these first reinforcements, the rest of the 15th massachusetts show up thinking they will expand reconnaissance and find themselves in a fight. there is a second skirmish. 20 minutes, then everyone falls back again. everyone is trying to figure out what is going on. it was not planned. it took on a life of its own. we will often read earlier accounts that say this was a preplanned attempt to take leesburg and

the union force on the maryland brigades, 7000 men. the troops we need to be concerned about are mostly the york, neither new of which was a brigade. we were independent regimens. you often see them listed as being a part of one brigade. they were not. menu had three actual brigades. , i that contained units think the first minnesota, the 20th massachusetts, you had the seventh michigan. units, the 34th, they were at edwards ferry, down the road. then you also had some artillery and they had brought some guns to cross over. only one of them got there. you had a couple of mountain houses which belong to the units.state militia they had one company dedicated to artillery. they eventually broke off and become a separate battery. no cavalry to speak of. they had it on the union side. got these forces, spending the summer following first manassas, watching each other. getting along pretty well. the men on both sides, very quickly came to make localized truces. shot forould not get nothing. it's one thing to dine a battle. it's another thing

educated at cambridge harvard, moved professor at the university of maryland, has won one of the major awards and if there's a round of applause it is for people who are educating the next generation of historical -- people to have a sense of history and what it means as human beings in the world but also particularly as americans, and somewhere from wells is dedicated to helping us mine that history. he is -- a 2017 public scholar after the national endowment for the humanities. and has had fellowships from the huntington library in california to cambridge in england and everywhere in between, yale and the library of congress. so this is a mind we want sort of tilling the soil of america's past and helping us come to under and he has written a remarkable book in stolen. it's a history about five young men in philadelphia, boys, who were kidnapped and taken back into slavery in the south. they were free and that freedom was stripped from them, it ands then about their resistance to that exact the culture of commerce and the sort of pursuit of money that led to people wanting to take th

senator chris van hollen, maryland, he told cnn earlier tonight that we are in a very, very dangerous place -- his words -- and there will be this briefing for senators on this air strike on monday. that's 3 1/2 days later. are you comfortable with the length of time between the strike and the congressional briefing? >> well, there isn't much that i'm comfortable about this situation, and i mean the briefing obviously was not given in advance to the leaders of the intelligence committees and foreign affairs committee, the gang of eight as they're called. there was no conferral as is kuft mary. we're working on the house side. i don't believe that's been finalized yet on our end. there's a lack of information, but that is kind of pattern and practice with this administration. it's not conferring with congress, not telling congressional leaders what's

congressman jamie raskin of maryland's eighth district. [applause] a former champion, representative don buyer of virginia. from california's 25th district, representative katie hill. [applause] and from virginia 10, congresswoman jennifer wexton. [applause] you better do well. representative chris pappas from new hampshire one. [applause] welcome.

here to fill in the silence, democratic congressman jamie raskin of maryland [ applause ] congressman. i know you've been sort of intimately involved in thinking through this entire process from the beginning, and i guess i just have kind of a technical question about -- lay out for us what happens over the next, say, five to seven days. >> okay. thank you for having me, chris. i should say that no impeachment managers have been chosen, and i don't know anything about the process. so that's up to the speaker. let me just say where we are. the role of the house of representatives is to bring these indictments, and we brought two charges as you know. abuse of power and obstruction of the congress. so now it goes to a trial in the senate, and the speaker withheld sending the articles over precisely because mitch mcconnell and lindsey graham, the chair of the senate judiciary committee, were essentially saying they were working with the defendant in the case, and lindsey graham was saying, i don't care about the facts. i don't care about the evidence.

recently university of maryland baltimore county for free mentor belsky shared his insights on buildingan innovative university. coming up, peggy orenstein examines the role of sex in the lives of young men. and this weekend on afterwards Ãbreporter steven greenhouse examines the challenges american workers face today. >> only people had no idea what unions are what unions do and how unions help bring us the 40 hour workweek and bring us pensions and the bumper sticker union folks who brought us the weekend. i wanted to explain to people

the last conversation i had with john was three days before he passed it was about maryland basketball so with the 25 greatest athletes and then said he's not on the list. what are you talking about? and then said it doesn't belong. and he convinced me not to because there was a great high school career saw some of that myself then that was it. he was dead. he didn't get a chance to do all these things. and t say wow i cannot believe he talked me out on this list pico but that is how he is. sell an old newspaperman like m me. and do it for popularity. and said hurry up and write this book. and then unfortunately everything happened so just a couple pages of john's book. so looking back to the segregation days. and john went back so the research in this book is tremendous. but one thing in particular just to read a couple of pages because i thought it shared some great detail. so if you are following along on page number 38, armstrong coach watched baylor torture his team during the regular season. he employed a defense to shadow the city's best player. 's job was to stick close for him

and maryland that -- to teach the enslaved a lesson not to run away, not to escape. so they would be sold. they were sold south as a deterre deterrent. mary and most of the children were taken to baltimore for sale to be sold. this is the scene you just saw in the short film. they were taken from the b and o railroad station in washington, d.c. to baltimore. daniel is desperate trying to intervene and possibly stop the sale of mary and the children south. at that moment daniel is sort of bludgeoned by the train conductors. the train pulls away.

host: senator ben cardin joining us from baltimore, democrat from maryland, member of the senate foreign relations committee. we thank you for being with us on "newsmakers." we continue the conversation. zach cohen, the impeachment trial getting underway tuesday. what will you be looking for? zach: i'm going to be curious to see what the managers present. we've had new evidence and new facts come to light since the articles were passed in december of last year. there was a government accountability office report that said there was actually a violation of the law that basically says the president has to spend the money that congress appropriates, and that report came out just last week. i'll be curious to see if managers incorporate that into their arguments, after the managers finish their process, it will turn over to the white house's defense. host: jason dick, you brought up the chief justice of the united states, john roberts, his role. jason: it's fascinating, because the chief justice could -- the

but i want to go to one of the hundred jurors, chris van hollen from maryland. your thoughts at the end of the tumult kwus and for you i'm sure frustrating day. >> chris, frustrating and really disgraceful for the senate and the country. because today was really the final moment of truth. as to whether or not we would have a fair trial meaning calling relevant witnesses and documents which is the way you conduct trials all over the country and republicans voted no. they then voted down my amendment that would allow the chief justice of the united states to determine which witnesses and documents were relevant. i could think of no more impartial, no more fair way than to resolve these issues than to allow the chief justice to do it just like in courts every day around the country and they said no to that. so this is the first impeachment trial in the history of the united states with no witnesses and documents and that is a disgrace on the senate. we should be trying to seek the truth, not bury it.

impeachment remain in the house maryland congressman jamie raskin says the articles won't be sent to the upper chamber. >>and 2 republicans promise a real trial we're not going to send the articles of impeachment over until there are the most minimal precautions set for a real fair trial regardless president trump maintains his impeachment holds no merit to big fat hoax for now it's unclear when or even if the stalemate between democrats and republicans will be broken. >>reporting in washington, i'm morgan right. >>more than 400 guatemalan migrants arrive back to their country yesterday after being deported from the united states. that's according to the central american nations migration institute, the deported migrants arrived in guatemala on guatemala's air force flights from brownsville and el paso texas as well as 1, 5 from arizona. last year more than a 100,000 guatemalans were deported from the us and mexico. the guatemalan government's migration agency confirms at least 54,000 were deported from the us and the rest from

host: mary, fort washington, maryland. caller: good morning. let's start with, i totally agree with the lady that called in. anyhow, this is a lie. i do not believe what is coming across the news media. if you want us to know the truth, pedro, please put on democracy now. this is deja vu. the same people in action now, he put in action again. john bolton? really? progressive do not believe this. it is only important if americans are killed? all life is important all over the world. he has killed everybody. no one did anything all this i'm. both barack obama and bush, looked at it. he was not important to get. we need peace. we need to have that nuclear iran deal. that bozo had no business pulling out of this. this is no rationalizing.

for what purpose does the gentleman from maryland seek recognition? mr. hoyer: i send to the desk a priveleblinged resolution and ask for its immediate consideration. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the resolution. the clerk: house resolution 777, resolved, that the clerk of the house inform the senate that a quorum of the house is present and that the house is ready to proceed with business. the speaker pro tempore: without objection the resolution is agreed to and the motion to econsider is laid on the table. mr. hoyer: i send to the desk a privileged resolution and ask for its immediate consideration. the clerk: house resolution 778, resolved unless otherwise ordered the daily meeting shall e 2:00 p.m. or 2:00 p.m. if no legislative business was conducted on the preceding monday on wednesdays a thursday and 9:00 a.m. on all other days of the week. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. and the motion to reconsider is laid on the tail. for what purpose does the gentleman from maryland seek recognition? mr. hoyer: i ask unanimous cons

maryland's success has been no accident. as a result of leaders decade long commitment to creating opportunities for underserved entrepreneurs which began when the late baltimore congressman perrin j. mitchell created the first federal set aside for minority contractors in 1977. it was this understanding -- it was with this understanding that i requested a seat on the small business committee when i joined this body in 2006. and it is with this understanding that i'm hopeful that treasure carranza will provide much needed leadership at the s.b.a. and serve as an advocate for entrepreneurs, especially those from underserved communities within the administration. if confirmed to lead the s.b.a., treasure carranza will enter an agency that has not had a deputy administrator since april 2018 and that has been led by its general counsel since former administrator linda mcmahon resigned in april 2019. and she will join an administration that has pushed for drastic cuts at the s.b.a. and every budget it's sent to congress. presiden

may it please the court, lea tulin on behalf of the district of columbia in maryland.cks jurisdiction over the president's appeal for two independent reasons and that's where i intend to focus my attention this morning but i would be happy to answer any other questions the court may have. first, the district court did not effectively deny the president's immunity claim. in fact, as members of this court have recognized, the district court was very clear that it intended to rule on the motion, and i'd like to read from ashmarry. before jurisdiction can be invoked under the klal order doctrine, district court must decision that constitutes a complete, formal and final resolution of the issue. in other words, the court's ruling must be the final word from the subject addressed. for that reason alone, this cáu lacks jurisdiction under the collateral order doctrine. second, the district of columbia in maryland filed a shefl-ex kulgs 41 a 1 a 1 notice of voluntarily dismissal. as this court and other courts have recognized, the filing of such a notice ope)ates as a matter of

maryland is -- 1.84 million pounds. maryland is the ninth largest producer. it's good for maryland's poultry industry because it means more poultry produced in maryland will make its way to canada and mexico, creating jobs and supporting the economy here locally. the agreement also included a few provisions that are very important for small businesses. most important to many small businesses is a provision which raidses the -- raises the level of the so-called -- the de minimis system is an important -- is important to small businesses. for example, small sellers who list their goods on ebay or amazon or frequently shipped to consumers not in the united states. under the system if it crosses border, it enjoys an expedited custom and lower tariff treatment than larger shipments would. under this agreement, the united states agreed to increase its customs de minimis level to $800 for exports to mexico and canada and they have made favorable changes to their system. as ranking member of the small business and entrepreneurship committee, this was a welcome change

let's go to maryland on the democrats line. under in hyattsville, maryland. caller: yes. mcconnellissue of as a non-issue, because in the house, they have an assistant leader. credibility,n and they could sideline mr. mcconnell and give the upper hand the assistant leader to solve the problem? guest: i think what the caller might be referencing is that over the coming days there will is 4focus on the number republicans who would vote with the senators to change the rules. they would need for republicans to vote with the democrats, enough that they would need vice president pence to break the tie. if that were the case, you could see the majority of democrats determining the rules of the senate trial. but that is a heavy lift considering the republicans tend to vote in a bloc. host: who would be the potential four? guest: you have susan collins and senator murkowski who previously have made comments criticizing the lockstep between the white house and majority leader mcconnell. they could vote for a different rules package, although senator collins thinks the 99 model mcco

i am from maryland. i represented maryland in the congress of the united states for six years. i am from new jersey and grew up in a blue-collar family. my dad was an electrician. a union electrician. that was great because his union, the international brotherhood of electrical workers, took good care of us coming up. after school i went to columbia and georgetown law school. i met my wife. she is from idaho. her dad was a potato farmer. the electricians son meets the potato farmer's daughter, only in america. after law school, i started to wo businesses. they were successful. i created thousands of jobs, two thousand jobs. my business focused on lending money to other businesses. small to midsize businesses that were being ignored by the big banks. during the time i ran my companies, we lent money to 5000 small businesses all over the country. the obama administration gave us an award for our lending to disadvantaged communities because we did it in an ethical and responsible way. which is why i am so focused on economic development in small towns across this country. after my
