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

maryland has taken some steps that way. they've now announced they're going to allow some businesses to open up. some houses of worship have people come inside with social distancing with limited crowds to some degree. on the virginia side, a little more open there, more business types being open including hair salons, restaurants that have outdoor seating as well. in both cases, you see the states trying to open a little bit, but closer into d.c. proper, that's a different story. both virginia and maryland, they're suburbs that run up next to d.c., they remain virtually

the cdc have designated the baltimore washington dc maryland corridor as a hotspot. there have been confirmed cases 1290 confirmed deaths in the state of maryland these are trying in unprecedented times for all communities in america and maryland is no different in this regard. so in times of crisis we should look for the helpers so to recognize some of the heroes helping communities and maryland i am very proud of the state hospitals and stories of manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies that have come together to perform their own testing with ppe and hand sanitizer's. of the freeware academic medical systems and to be critical to prepare the state for the pandemic i am particular proud of johns hopkins tracking system that public health officials worldwide have come to rely on for up today accurate information. i applied on - - applaud john hopkins officials to create that pool which has proven itself critical to fight the disease. what you speak about that when you cannot measure it and express it in numbers so in the early days of the pandemic state officials

maryland republican congressman harris spoke at one of the rallies.he had some interesting words. >> i didn't wake up in communist china and i didn't wake up in north korea this morning and tomorrow morning i should be able to go to the church of my choice and worship the way i choose. >> that's your fellow maryland republican comparing the way you're running your state to communist china and north korea. what's your response, sir? >> well, first of all, look, i think everybody has a right to protest and express their feelings. a couple of dozen people did so yesterday. and they have every right to do that. sadly, we had far more people die yesterday in maryland than we had protesters. congressman harris, i'm not sure where he woke up yesterday morning, maybe he confused north korea and south korea. south korea is doing a great job on testing and we just saved the lives of thousands of marylanders by getting those half million tests from korea. but i really don't have any further comment. he's obviously got the right to say whatever crazy things he wa

the cumberland valley railroad during the civil war, a one track railroad running from hagerstown maryland to harrisburg, pennsylvania, used to send union troops ammunition and supplies and was often under attack by confederate forces. the gettysburg heritage center in pennsylvania hosted this talk. >> a little bit about our speaker. we have with us today scott mingus. i have known scott for a number of years but i really didn't know scott until i reviewed his bio that he sent to me. surprisingly, he is a scientist and a consultant in the global pulp and paper industry. and he holds patents in self-adhesive postage stamps and barcode labels. i never knew that. he is an ohio native, graduate of miami university. while working for avery dennison, he was part of the team that set up the first commercially successful self-adhesive postage stamp. he has written 20 books. his biography of general william smith won multiple awards, including the dr. james i. robertson junior literary prize for confederate history. he has written several articles for the gettysburg magazine and other historical pu

but if maryland is able to fulfill that mandate, if maryland is able to make good, if they're able to actually test every resident and every staff person in every nursing home and long-term care facility in the state, brace yourself for the numbers that will emerge. i mean we know what kind of numbers are going to emerge. we can imagine them. just follow the trail of dead. the largest nursing home in the state of maryland has already had 35 americans die there. how many positive cases do you think there are at that facility if 35 have already died. maryland has not been posting the number of cases in their nursing homes by facility. they're going to get those numbers now if they're going to universal test. they know that most of the tests in that state are in nursing homes. if they start to get universal data from those facilities, brace yourself for the number of positive tests and for what that's going to indicate about how many resources those facilities need and for ultimately what the death toll is going to be coming out of there. but testing in the places where people are most l

maryland crab cakes.aid this. >> when mexico sends their people, he's sending their best. >> this caused jose to -- >> he cut his ties with trump in washington, d.c. was in d.c. today. >> in 2015, the trump organization sued for breach of contract. two years later they released a joint statement announcing the lawsuit had been settled. >> he uses so many immigrants to run his operations, i thought, a business person, a successful person, would understand it. and then i thought, well, he'll run on that, on the immigrant rhetoric, hopefully -- maybe now he's president, his rhetoric will change. these guys don't change. i'm highly disappointed. >> it also hasn't changed the fact that immigrants make up the majority of the staff here, including the head chef. >> where are you from? >> i'm from guyana. >> this isn't unique to trump grill. >> across the country, an estimated 22% of restaurant workers are foreign-born, and restaurants are only the most public facing point of the industry. immigrant labor drives

so the governor of maryland has now ordered, mandated that everybody in a nursing home in maryland, symptomatic or not, staff or resident, everybody, must be tested. now, state mandate is a serious thing. what are nursing homes supposed to do in order to fulfill that mandate? we have reached out to the governor's office to ask if they will provide all of the necessary tests to the nursing homes, so they can fulfill that mandate, or if the facilities are going to have to scramble to find the tests themselves, we'll let you know more when we hear more, but if maryland is able to fulfill that mandate, if maryland is able to make good, if they're able to actually test, every resident, and every staff person, in every nursing home and long term care facility in the state, brace yourself for the numbers that will emerge. i mean we know what kind of numbers are going to emerge. we can imagine them. just follow the trail of dead. the largest nursing home in the state of maryland has already had 35 americans die there. how many positive cases do you think there are at that facility, with 35 of their res

the militiamen are going to serve throughout the antietam campaign, the maryland campaign. they are not ever going to see combat, for which reynolds is somewhat grateful, not quite sure how the men will do, he confides in a letter to his sister in lancaster, pennsylvania about some of his doubts about the quality of the pennsylvania state militia. nevertheless, the militia doesn't have to fire a shot. they end up moving back through the cvrr. by the way, in those days the cumberland valley ran through downtown chambersburg, downtown greencastle, downtown through mechanicsburg, downtown shippensburg. the major hotels and businesses lined the railroad tracks. it was on the main street in most of these towns, and these boys in their soldier uniforms on the way to chambersburg and back to harrisburg, these boys are thrilled because the townspeople, particular the very pretty girls of the cumberland valley, turn out lavishly to cheer these men. in fact, at one point they go by the irving female academy, to which one soldier says, i think we need to stop the train right here and

the number of new confirmed coronavirus cases is still on the rise of maryland.oining me is republican governor larry hogan of maryland, also chair of the national governors association. governor hogan, nice to see you. i want to ask you to respond to white house economic adviser larry kudlow who says they're taking a pause right now, not sure when they're going to do, if anything, in terms of further economic help to citizens or to states or cities. what do you make of that? >> i'm not really quite sure what to make of that, jake. i just did listen in and hear that this morning. but the message seems to sort of change almost on a daily, sometimes several times a day. i think we're making progress. and look, i believe that -- i think the first three, 3 1/2 stimulus packages have been helpful, and everybody is trying their best to get all of that money out to the people who really need the help, the individuals who have lost their jobs and the small businesses that are hurting under this terrible economy and the shutdown that everybody has had to do for the virus.

griff jenkins is in maryland where he was caught. >> reporter: that is correct, taken without incident. law enforcement agencies tell us at the washington county detention center a source on the ground confirming moments ago he was brought here around 2:00 am. this is where many of the fugitives are brought. what is interesting about this case is what happens next, we are learning from the sources that he will stay here overnight, and later today at 1:00 pm have a bond hearing to be done via video link not because of covid-19 but because that is the way they have been doing these things, that will be the extradition order, to go back ultimately to connecticut, he will remain behind these bars until connecticut comes and gets him. connecticut has 30 days to do so but it is a end to a 6-day manhunt for the connecticut student peter manfredonia accused of killing ted deem ares with a machete, a brutal grisly murder and shooting and killing a former classmate, nicholas weisel. it is not clear what he will be charged with. connecticut state police >> the suspect will face justice and this w

his argument is the following "negros by the laws of maryland are part of household effects. they even cite queen v and john marshal's decision that they should governor all of these matters, right? and they say freeing an enslaved person through a will leading to a repugnant conclusion. this is much the same logic that roger tawny would deploy in dread scott's case. he defended an abolitionist in a very, very controversial trial. a high profile looibl -- liable case in 1835. and they made the argument that enslaved people are human beings, of course. he positions this around human rights. and he, too, cites queen b he b hepburn. bradley also made the argument at trial "although they are personal property, yet they are also recognized as persons, and are so called in the cushion constitution of the united states and are capable of receiving a bequest of freedom." so ash's argument is tied to the constitutional question her about are enslaved people persons under the means of the constitution. and what does that mean? now it may surprise you that roger b tawny upheld ash's fre

maryland your first year in law school. but somehow these prosecutors over across the street at the justice department forgot about it, and they were going to be punished but the system of justice said you can't punish them because they didn't know. because the judge didn't tell them. again, mr. president, i'm not sure we even need a law to deal with this, but like i said, unfortunately we do. as you can imagine, this was maddening to the people of alaska. those who violated senator stevens' constitutional rights -- and, by the way, forever changed the political landscape not just in alaska, but in america. don't get me going about what happened there. that these prosecutors couldn't even be held accountable and were not held accountable because they weren't instructed by the district court about the brady evidence requirements that they learned in law school their first year. so in response to the stevens case and due to growing concerns about the unfortunate frequency of brady evidence violations by prosecutors, a number

maryland, g.o.p. state says they threaten to arrest him if he spoke at a rally hosted by my next guest. founder of the open a maryland and civil rights attorney, founder of the center for america liberty and filing a lot of the actions. did they arrest for speaking at your event? >> yeah, it's true and the delegate even submitted that as evidence in a federal lawsuit. strange days in maryland. >>> laura: it's governor mary hogan praised president trump today or yesterday and offered some positive comments about what the president was trying to do to help all the states which is great treated but i can tell you, for my little informal survey, a people and i maryland, virginia, everyone is done with this. they want to be safe and careful, they are done they want to save their livelihood and their children's learning. you've been doing this all up and down in california. >> we have eight lawsuits in the eighth lawsuit today and will be filing another lawsuit on behalf of a orthodox jewish congregation th

where does maryland stand right now?e're a little bit behind where new york and some of the other places are. but we're not nearly as bad, but we're still on the rise. we just passed over 20,000, you know, cases, and we just went over 1,000 deaths today. so, sadly, our numbers are still on the rise. the washington area is starting to grow. >> trevor: it really has been an interesting journey in america because, you know, some people don't want anything to close down. others want to shut down to happen immediately. but one thing that has been apparent, is many governors have been forced to go it alone. you're all making your own decisions. there hasn't been one centralized approach. the president said he's in charge and then the governors are in charge. how are you making these decisions? are you liasing with other governors or are you doing what maryland needs? >> i am the chairman of the national governors association and we have 17 or 18 conference calls with all of america's governors. we have had, i think, 12 calls w

i know you have mail-in meat vo voting in maryland.he president's continued campaign against it? >> we haven't had any experiences so far in maryland that would cause me any great concern. we did that in the special election. we're doing it in a primary on tuesday here in our state. during the pandemic it was the only way to have safe voting. we wanted to make sure everybody had the opportunity to vote by putting themselves in danger by going out to polling places. we want to make sure we get the opportunity for every single person to vote. we want to make sure that no voting fraud is taking place whether by mail or any other way, but i'm not concerned about that here in our state. we've been doing it for a long time. >> maryland governor larry hogan, republican, thank you for your time today. god bless the people of maryland today. >>> today at noon eastern we're going to try to pay tribute to the lives that have been lost in this coronavirus pandemic with a special program called "we remember: a national memorial to honor the victims

maryland's stay-at-home order was lifted at the top of the hour. tell us why you decided your city is not yet ready to join much of the state of maryland in beginning to reopen. >> well, wonderful, the reason why is because we haven't seen a decrease in the number of cases that we've seen here in baltimore. we had over 3,600 cases, almost 400 hospitalizations and baltimore, and 183 deaths. and, you know, we just don't feel that we're ready to open right now. and i'm going by what our health professionals are telling us. leading institutions like johns hopkins are saying we're not ready to open at this time. i would love to open up because i know businesses are suffering, restaurants are suffering. but my responsibility is to protect the life and safety of the citizens of baltimore and that's what i intend to do. >> these are life and death decisions you've got to make. marylanders in other parts of the state can now return to stores, hair salons, other nonessential businesses. do you fear, mayor, that your residents of baltimore will simply travel

pete muntine is in ocean city, maryland.t are you seeing there, pete, and what are people telling you? >> well, ana, it is not much of a beach day here in ocean city, maryland. city officials say that actually might be working against them, in a away. i want to show you the beach, first. relatively easy to maintain social distancing there, but the city feels that there are actually more people piling on to the boardwalk, even though it is about 50 degrees out here, cold, and windy, the city says that more people are out here right now and it is relatively easy to maintain social distancing, as long as you pay attention. i want to show you some of the images from yesterday, though, by contrast. an 85-degree day, warm and sunny. the city says it's doing everything it can to try to make it so that folks are out here social distancing, but also recommending that they wear masks. the city says it is relatively hard to enforce those policies. i spoke with ocean city mayor rick meean who says the city has done its part, but now it'

maryland. now, the vast majority of the federal prosecutors, and by the way, fbi agents who work in our criminal justice system are patriots, many are veterans, they work day in day out to keep us safe and abide either constitutional duties and obligations. do turn brady evidence over to the defense as they are required to do by the constitution. but the sad fact is, mr. president, some prosecutors don't do this. some choose instead to win at all costs by taking shortcuts. not justice, but shortcuts. and when i say shortcuts, i'm talking about violating the defendants constitutional rights. the prevalence of these violations is not easy to quantify, these brady violations as we call b them. study, and i'm not vouching for the accuracy, stated, and this was a study called the national registry of exonerations, stated that from 1989-ro2017, prosecutors concead exculpatory evidence at trial in half of all murder exonerations. if that fact, if that statistic is even remotely true, it is outrageous
