lincoln thought mcclellan could bring the end to the war. it turns out problems involved along the way. after the battle of antietam in september of 1862, abraham lincoln is begging general mcclellan to move the army and to pursue the rebels, pursue robert ely and bring the end to this horrible war. and time and time again general mcclellan would have a series of excuses for the president on why he couldn't lead his soldiers to deliver a knockout blow to the confederate forces. in this letter written october 20 seventh 1862, you get a sense of mister lincoln -- he is losing his patience with his general. he writes general mcclellan, yours of yesterday received. most certainly i intend no injustice to any and if i have done any i deeply regret it but to be told after more than four weeks total in action of the army and during which period we have sent to the army every fresh horse we possibly could amounting in the whole two koran leaves a blank space, that the calvary horses -- cavalry horses were too fatigues to move presents a cheerless, a

he keeps pushing mcclellan backwards, even though mcclellan should have held the field lee keeps up that pressure that actually comes from another stress tactician or theorist and that is carl von. klausfits carl von. klausswiss is someone who i don't talk a lot about during the civil war here at least in this this setting because classmates isn't translated from german until 1872 and only really the 11th core here at chancellorsville would have used anything of class fits, but he is truly the greatest to me military thinker of the modern times and then of course who learn about calculated risks, that is something he is gonna learn from winfield scott. when do you make a calculated risk when you take that calculated risk? and at one point robert e lee during the mexican-american war is going to find an impassable piece of land during the battle of contreras. it's called the pedro gala. it's a lava field. no, one can go across it. well robert e lee. does he finds a way and he leads troops across it and that is one of the reasons that winfield scott will win the battle of contreras. so it'

mark mcclellan, director for health policy. former fda commissioner.s on the board of johnson & johnson. a lot to get to on all these fronts. can you speak to the impact you expect to this to have, the united states 500 million doses, as jim said, but i would suspect we need other wealthy nations with an excess of vaccine to do the same. >> poppy, we do need more. this is a really important step. we've developed and have available here in the united states some very effective and safe vaccines. you can see what a difference it's made in the pandemic. unfortunately, the rest of the world, especially low and middle income countries, including the 92 getting these vaccines are in a very different position with covid still surging. so this is an important step, but we have a lot more vaccines that we need to provide in the range of billions of doses and on top of that, as elizabeth said, we can get the vaccines to countries where they are needed but just as in the united states, there are challenges in getting from there, the vaccines out into people's arm

also the mcclellan committee of the united states senate. the records represented where gambling was occurring, not only in the state of nevada but throughout the united states.i'e museum director and tonight. we're going to be talking about billy mitchell and his atlantic tests with our with our special guests joining us from wisconsin. so with that said, i'd like to go ahead and introduce our speakers tonight. chris kohakowski has been a guest speaker here at the museum previously. he did used to live here in the hampton roads area. he specifically spoke at a couple of different summer of flight presentations that were really well received. during his time as the director of the macarthur memorial in norfolk. he's a reviewer and contributor to the air force journal

he is traveling with george mcclellan out to manassas in march of 1862 at that point union commanders have the option to accept contrabands escaped slaves take them in and give them safety in the union lines or not and mcclellan is one of the commanders who will turn them back. and so what johnson folds into this, is that layer of uncertainty they're almost there. but is that even that a guarantee and so there is an edge to these paintings? we want to read them as benign images. we want to read them as affirmative images taking your future into your hands showing the initiative all of those american characteristics that we cherish so much. and then eastman johnson threatens to pull the rug out from under that particular vision by saying maybe maybe not. and so each of the works in this bay each of the works in this exhibition will carry forward those layers of meaning embedded in the time in which they were done as a point of principle and of pride every single quotation. you will find in the book accompanying this exhibition is from the 19th century from someone who survived the war.

joining us is tom mcclellan.ough this recent market we've had a bit of a pullback. >> then i expected the market to rally with its hair on fire. we got the mid-june dip last week, and monday was a great start. there's still more yet to come. >> so that friday pullback you think was the bottom for the short term for a two-year outlook what are we talking? >> i would call it a tradeable bottom it fits with the seasonality of the all year and first year of the presidential term i said they were have it with a presidential cycle pattern versus the s&p 500, and that pattern said we should expect a bottoming period june 17th through the 23rd friday watt at 18, so right on schedule, and got a lot of people feeling fearful bitcoin will crash to zero, we're all going to die the fed will screw up nine different ways >> i love how precise you are with your dates, tom you talked about fear. i know you are watching the vix, the fear gauge to show just how much fear there was and what that means going forward >> the vix was a

mcclellan ran on a platform of negotiated settlement with the confederacy, immediate peace, and leaving slavery intact. lincoln calls douglas to the white house for an urgent meeting. douglas comes to washington and meets with lincoln in the white house. lincoln tells douglas, "i would like you to plan and embark upon a john brown scheme in which you will invade the south with an army of black and white, bring as many blacks as possible to union lines, worst case scenario, i will lose the election to mcclellan. but, thousands more blacks will be in union lines and free before slavery remains permanent in the confederacy. best case scenario, the thousands more blacks that come to union lines will aid the union effort and lead to a major victory and turn the tide of war and convince northerners the war will soon be over and we can finish off this fight." frederick douglass was amazed at this request. douglas had been a close friend of john brown. john brown, if you remember, was the most radical white abolitionist of the day. john brown, with an army of blacks and whites in 1859, went sou

days and is just as slow as george mcclellan oliver rhodus howard who is just nicknamed. oh howard and that can say at all. he is probably the most inept core commander of everyone you're seeing here in that includes dan sickles, and then you have henry slocum who would even board drywall, but he's a pretty brilliant brilliant man, but not a very daring commander. so joe hooker is gonna bring a list of characters to fight stonewall jackson robert e. lee and jeb st. three of the most audacious officers to fight in the american civil war he is not exactly bringing what i would call an a team to to bat. he does have men who are experienced in their respective roles. some aren't inexperienced in their respective roles like oliver, otis howard and dan sickles george meade. he has a little bit of experience from antietam john sedgwick. this is his first time commanding a core and then he's going to be given a wing of the army about 60,000 men. so we have a lot of new guys coming in to take on a veteran army that is commanded by robert e lee. lee at this time is 55 years old. he

running against lincoln in the 1864 election, which could have been close and mcclellan would have sued for peace. we would not have the union we had today that election was decided because of battlefield victories that were the result of the strategy the overarching strategy that you described dana of everyone converging most significantly, of course sherman taking atlanta and then shared and sealing it with the victory in in the valley in the shenandoah valley within a less than a month prior to the election. he did save the union at the the end of the day. type this spring the conversation up to date just um, we know that the effects of the civil war never really went away your book establishes that very effectively you quote the noted historian david blight who wrote that the civil war is the sleeping dragon of american history ever ready to rise up and breathe fire now the fiscal year 2021 national defense authorization authorization act that became law a few months ago over the president's veto. i might add created a commission to rename the post that honor confederates within the

and general mcclellan, in october '62, so, four months after that petition. basically, told lincoln, my soldiers are going to fight to restore the union. but don't expect us to fight for black freedom because it's not going to happen. which shows you how long a road had to be marched to get country and the military, the racist military. they -- they were pretty racist, too. to that point. >> yeah, absolutely. >> frederick douglas helps. >> yeah. and here -- and he is very much a part of our second object. a recruitment broadside written by douglas. can we see the image of that, please? so, what was this -- the significance of this broadside? and where did it, first, appear? >> so, douglas, at this point, a monthly newspaper. douglas's monthly. which is always a little bit behind the times. you know, he is admonishing lincoln in his september issue. september '62. even as lincoln issues the preliminary proclamation. so it's hard to have a monthly paper. i used to edit a weekly paper. it was hard to keep up with the weekly. so he wrote an editorial around the s

mark mcclellan and current member of j&j's board told poppy harlow they just don't know at this pointcine can be stored because this has all happened so quickly. he said in his words because this was part of an emergency, we weren't able to take the time to see just how long they can last. those studies, jake, are ongoing. >> erica hill, thank you so much. >> here to discuss all of this is jeff zients, the white house coronavirus response coordinator. he is in cornwall with the president right now. 500 million doses, that's a lot of doses. the global need, as you know, because you're the coordinator for the global response. the global need is in the billions and there are a lot of countries that think the united states is not doing enough. >> well half a billion doses is a lot of doses and these will go to the lowest income countryies donated to those chris. 500 million is in addition to the 80 million doses the president announced a couple of weeks ago that are beginning to ship to countries around the world. and we're going to continue to give away doses from the u.s. supply across

republican issue in my mind and i think there are so many democrats and republicans got gottlieb and mike mcclellan who could have been running this pandemic and we would have seen that but i will tell you the answer that question by way of relating something that happened when i worked for joe biden. i relate this in the look pretty called me into the oval office and he was talking about how i was in charge of public representation for the pandemic and he wanted to make sure i understood something and that we need to explain things simply to the public and he said i quoted him in the book as saying don't worry about making me look good. give public the information they need and remember this was an -- when people were dying and people were unable to get their vaccine and they were scared because they did didn't know when this was coming to an end. if you have to go out and perform for the president make sure the president sees you castanets averill leitz, didn't have that krugman a much easier task because the president essentially said we are going to get judged by whether we have fixed that are

mark mcclellan who is on the board at j&j telling cnn the reason they don't know exactly how long shes doses will last is simply because everything has happened so quickly as part of the emergency, but says those studies are ongoing. in new york, erica hill, cnn. >>> the uk is struggling to curb the spread of more transmissible covid variants. there are growing concerns that hot spots linked to these strains could jeopardize plans to further lift covid restrictions. cnn's phil black joins me from essex county in england. boris johnson facing some pressure to put the brakes on the plan to ease covid restrictions, you've been looking into the facts find the growing alarm there. what can you tell us? >> reporter: indeed, kim, it is frustrating timing just as the uk was prepared to move beyond the pandemic, throw off remaining restrictions, these cases and infections are now spiking because of a new highly transmissible variant. scientists agree a new wave is building, but they can't be sure what it's going to look like in a country where the vaccine program is advanced but not yet comple

among them, jennifer mcclellan.lation that repelled the waiting period prior to abortion and sponsored the virginia voting rights act helping to enact its own version of the federal voting rights act. if elected she would be the first black governor in the united states. final stretch here. what is your pitch to virginia voters? >> you know, virginia is ready for the next generation of leadership, someone who brings a new perspective, the experience to get things done on day one, who can restore the faith that a lot of people have lost in government to solve their problem, and that candidate is me. >> talk to me about your experience passing legislation through the state house. what did that teach you about how to actually get things done in your state? >> well, you know, when i first got elected, i was a 32 year old black woman from the most democratic district in the state, operating in a body that was mostly white men over 50. i have to understand their perspective, even if i don't agree with it, share my perspec

because there was a good reason to believe lincoln would not be re-elected and might be defeated by mcclellan and the democrats. war weariness was horrific, as many of you know, by august of that summer. there was no certainty of lincoln's re-election. in fact, there was a great deal of uncertainty about it. this scheme was lincoln's way apparently of saying to douglass, "all right. emancipation has become the great aim of this war. let's get as much of it done before i lose this election, if i lose this election." they exchanged ideas on other things. we could go into that later. now, it's worth pointing right here that one of the things that makes this relationship so interesting is because both of these men had this extraordinary, much written about capacity for intellectual and ideological growth -- both. and where they started in 1861 and where they come to by '63 and especially '64-'65 is the extraordinary part, of course, of the story. in the first year of the war, even year and a half of the war, '61 into '62, at least through august of '62, douglass was one of the fiercest critics ab

former delegate jennifer foia and jennifer mcclellan are seeking to make history hoping to become the. someone who has lived paycheck to paycheck unable to work the high cost of healthcare. >> a chance to make history as virginia's first female governor. >> when you don't have federal guidance it's important hot governor is. we have good leadership in washington now. but we can't let our foot up off the gas here in the state. >> justin fairfax is also in this race. he was seen as a rising star in the party but took a serious political hit after sexual assault allegations surfaced in 2019? the facts have come out, the public understands these sadly were false allegations politically motivated and the evidence is really that out. >> long history in democratic politics likely gives him an edge. >> certainly mcauliff as a former governor and somebody who is seen as knowing how to raise money and do all the other things tough do to win, is a substantial favorite. but, boy, as we all learned over the past decade there is a lot of room for upsets. >> today's winner will face republican polit

mcclellan's army has come with in sight of richmond and has been repulsed if we issue on the heels of that defeat. an emancipation proclamation it's going to seem like a desperation move and it will not be regarded by sincere by any reasonable people including foreigners who might be affected by that if they believe that it was sincere. and so lincoln says seward. i hadn't thought of that. okay, i'll put it my desk drawer and then we'll whip it out out when there's a military victory. so so there's lincoln think i'm going to issue an emancipation proclamation. and i know that there's going to be a strong white backlash because there are lots and lots and lots of white people in the north who say i will be glad to serve in the army. and i will be glad to pay high taxes in order to fight the war to preserve the union. but i'll be -- if i'm gonna join the army, i'll be -- if i'm gonna pay taxes in order to liberate the slaves to hell with that. and this was particularly true in the border states and the lower north that is southern, illinois southern indiana, southern ohio southern penns

10 or 12 days ago, the covid collaborative that gary leads, along with our friends at duke, mark mcclellan and dr. kumar and rachel silverman. we stand by those points and i think those are very clear. i'll add a few remarks. first of all, jeremy, i think we need to commend you for the leadership that you have demonstrated over the last six months, which is moved us very far forward. you've assembled a strong team at u.s. aid and you've been working, obviously, collaboratively to try and drive towards where we are today and beyond. you've really made a major contribution and we're grateful to you for that. in the sweep of what you've laid out, it's very compelling, and of course the gravity and force and urgency of what we face today, which makes it very difficult to think much beyond today. and so you've carefully sort of laid out that spectrum of things that we have to somehow be able to move forward simultaneously. we cannot lose sight of those things. so we're very indebted to you. you've moved us forward. we still are short of having a true national strategy. i know you're working har

think about the battles of the seven days when lee winds battle after battle, even though mcclellan should have held the field. that comes from another tactician or theorist, and that's carl vaughan klausutis, someone who i don't talk a lot about. but clausewitz isn't translated from german until 1872 and only the korea chancellorsville would have used anything of clausewitz. but to me he is the greatest military thinker of modern times. then we learn about calculated risks. that's something he will learn from winfield scott. when do you make a calculated risk? when do you take a calculated risk? at one point, robert e. lee during the mexican american war is going to find an impassable piece of land called the pedro gala. hat is o ne no one can go across, but robert healy does and he leads troops across it and that's one of the reasons winfield scott will win the battle of contrast. it's always going to go back to what you've learned and how you will deploy this on the battlefield robert e. lee will have to play to the tune of joe hooker. he will have to wait for hooker to make that first
