i tell the tale of two soldiers who went into maryland and get into hot water with a maryland congressman. and one of them says that he had a blank pass, that he just filled out himself. so there is no way to certify. but i'll offer this one little bit. there is paroles issuesed it a places like winchester. there are more information on those paroles. they include a description of the person, includes their hair color, eye color, their complexion. so there are physical descriptions that i think are meant in part to serve as a legitimacy test. this man is in fact -- because those -- ah, i should point out. those parole passes that aren't from appomattox were issued by union officials. >> okay. let me see here what -- we have a question from doug crosic in kentucky. hello doug. and he's written a good question. let me take a look it a quickly before, okay. good question, doug. doug say, "i would imagine that the surrender -- i would imagine that when the surrender occurred, the confederate currencies worth crushed to zero. so particularly among confederate soldiers, was there a great amount

but that included maryland as well, and september 1st it came through the state of maryland, it damaged hundreds of homes and businesses, unfortunately, even claimed the life of a resident of rockville. i'm very grateful to the president and to you for granting the maryland delegation for federal disaster assistance through the hazard mitigation grant program, which you've spent a lot of time today talking about. that was granted on september 13th. and, lastly, i joined the maryland delegation in urging the president to approve the state of maryland's request for presidential disaster declaration for individual assistance to a county which was hit by severe flooding and a tornado, in fact, and hazard mitigation grant program assistance for all jurisdictions in maryland. so that our residents, like many others in these various states, can get the assistance that they need. this federal assistance is very necessary, it's warranted. i hope it can be expeditiously reviewed. but i want to talk about the grant program a little bit because, as i understand it, fema up to 75% of the cost share

>> i'm sitting here in tacoma park maryland. >> wow, wow. there you go. that's amazing. >> shout out to maryland. >> how about we jump into it? i think the first question on the audiences mind and a guest mind before to read the book, i'd love to hear in your own words what is the kaepernick affect? >> the kaepernick the fact is the chain reaction that took place after colin kaepernick first set during the anthem and then took a need in august and september of 2016. but i think the best way to describe the effect is just something about how he came up with this idea that want to spend a big chunk of my life working on this book and talking to people and in of income and whatnot. like it started when i was talking in 1968 olympian john carlos is a famously raised his fist on the stand in mexico city, and john a couple years ago looked at me and he just said, you know, they come after raise my fist in mexico city a tongue of young people starting a track meet around the country country and i was like, what? like i always considered myself a bi

why don't we give back part of maryland to maryland if it's not being used? because it's already a state and access. there areagainst that . why? why wouldn't you just give back to maryland which is maryland which by the way is the same thing we did to virginia and you keep this enclave from about here to the white house, carved that out with afederal district . thatseems to make the most sense but again what's the real motive ? it's about getting two senators and if we don't scratch the surface of the arguments we miss the real motive at hand . >> it's amazing the way the left works because they almost convince you. we've been talking about that that imperative action. they almost convince you it's sad telling you it's water and that's a huge problem for generations, younger than me that doesn't even know what freedom is. we're all here as conservatives talking about preserving freedom and protecting your freedom for people that are in their 20s, those that are just getting their first job, graduating from college, coming out of the pandemic by eight-year-ol

last week, i joined the maryland delegation in urging the president to approve the state of maryland's request for presidential disaster declaration for individual assistance to anne arundel county, which was hit by severe flooding and a tornado. and the mitigation grant program assistance for all jurisdictions in maryland so our residents, like many others can get the assistance they need. this is federal assistance, it is very necessary, it is warranted, i believe -- i hope it can be expeditiously reviewed and granted. i want to talk about the grant program. as i understand it, fema provides up to 75% of the cost share situation. the federal government provides 75% of eligible private costs and states and communities cover the remaining share. do you know, has there been discussion, do you know what the capacity is -- can you give us an insight into the potential for fema to increase the federal cost share to pick up more of the for the program which would make it more likely that states and localities who have budget crunches could respond to current disasters and better prepare for

why don't we give back the part of maryland to maryland if it's not being used because it's already a state, and it would make sense. well, they're against that. why? why wouldn't you give back to maryland which by the way is the same thing we did to virginia and keep this enclave here to the white house, but what's the real motive? it's not about letting them vote, it's about getting two senators and if we don't scratch the surface of these arguments, we miss the real motive at hand. >>, you know, it's amazing, the way it works because they almost convince you, we've been talking a lot about this at heritage action, they almost convince you to drink sand, telling you it's water. and that's a huge problem for a generation that doesn't even know what it is, so we're talking about freedoms, protecting your freedoms, well the people in their '20s graduating college, getting first job, coming out of covid pandemic my eight-year-old son forced to wear a mask in school. this is the world he knows. so what advice do you have for us to think through, how do we first define freedom for the nex

. >>> maryland democratic senator ben cardin is convinced that president biden's "build back better" plan agenda is not dead. yesterday cardin said the nearly $2 trillion bill could be revived next year but may have to be broken up into smaller parts. it comes after west virginia democratic senator joe manchin said he would not vote for the measure, putting its passage in jeopardy. vice president harris told cbs' "face the nation" she's not giving up. >> i refuse to get caught up in the what might be personal politics when the people who are waking up at 3:00 in the morning worried about how they're going to get by could care less about the politics of d.c. >> the bill includes a wide range of policy items including paid family leave and medicare and medicaid expansion. >>> this morning, we are remembering south african civil rights icon desmond tutu who died yesterday at the age of 90. mourners paid their respects at a makeshift memorial in cape town. they remembered a man who preached nonviolence and fought for a peaceful reconciliation. tina kraus has more on desmond tutu's life a

is it possible west virginia is quite different from new york, california or even maryland?nique issues. i represent the people of maryland and i can tell you chesapeake bay is important to our state. i think it's important to the entire country. i'm sure joe manchin has issues in west virginia that he wants to see us pay attention to in washington. that's what our job is. our job is to represent the people of our stay, but also to represent our nation and i think we can come together on this. affordable childcare is in every one of our 50 states has issues where parents have a hard time dealing with the cost of childcare and preventing some people from entering the workforce. every state has a challenge with the cost of higher education we need to deal with this as a nation. these are international issues that affect all states, so i hope we can find a spot. there are certain issues more important to some parts of our country than others, but that's what the senate is about. let's find that common spot that can help all of our states and help our country. mike: leader schum
