morris says he mailed some letters and then he went to visit some business friends, acquaintances, the memories. that's where he claims he's. abby goes upstairs in the house to clean lizzie. she comes downstairs and says to bridget. could you go outside and wash the windows, please? so, bridget, outside to wash windows. follow me. the story all rig. 930, 10:30 a.m. and that next hour, bridget outside washing ndows. the men out of the house. sometime during that hour, abby borden is killed upstairs. guestroom by 18 blows to the back of her head head. okay. 10:48 a.m. andrew borden was doing business, but his feeling ill returns home to find the front door in the side door locked from the inside. by this point, bridget has come back in the house and is washing some windows inside the house and. andrew borden knocks on the door. why is this locked? and she goes, runs over to open the and lets andrew in. he's kind of mad. and bridget will later say that lizzie was standing on the stairs and kind of laughed at the situation and oh, that's kind of funny. all right. 10:48 a.m. i? andrew says,

robe morris is one of the men seated in the row of sitting figures kind of in the middle left and in the light-colored suit. he is the merchant prince from philadelphia. behind him engaged a little conversation is charles carol, wealthy planter and merchant from maryland. when he signs the declaration, someone jokes, there go a few millions. but also, joshua bartlett is here. he's a doctor in farmer from new hampshire. and all these men are dressed approximately the same way. no one is wearing a chain of frank or jewel that represents a noble order. there is no nobility in this room. these are all men of the middle and upper class, wearing their best or very good clothes. the other thing about them is they have been deliberating. and they have finished their deliberation. they've come to a decision. that's representative jefferson's piece of paper. there's no activity like david's oath of the tennis court. this is a political group that has talked and thought about it, and this is the conclusion that that they have come to. that was trumbull's third paintings. he followed it with two

so the morris massacre, which involves peg and blackfeet, people in montana in the or in about 1870, the story from native perspective really wasn't told. and a man named james welch wrote a novel called, fool's crow, well into the 20th century, i think in the 1960s. and he used oral history, oral tradition, which, of course historians didn't have access to because they weren't part of the communities producing that sort of tradition. they weren't part of the communities from which that evidence was coming. and so only since then have books been written about the massacre that include the native perspective. so it was about patience and digging and waiting for those sources, but also for the communities that are involved to. take the time to be willing and ready to share their stories and to develop trust that it is required between the historians who want to write about it and the community as that are represented to really fairly tell those stories. so i think that's an important archival part of the story. if we establish that what makes an incident an atrocity i mean for pillow o

bob morris a justice in the north carolina supreme court from 1995 until 2004 and left the republican party and is an advocate for fair insecure elections and anne applebaum, historian and author of autocracy in, dictators who want to run the world and a new article in the atlantic about how conspiracy theories are undermining democracy across the globe and they join me now. bob, let me start with you on the specifics of the north carolina case. it's a close race and was an 800 vote margin, 734 votes. it's a bummer to lose but that close. it's a close race. the claim that 60,000 people voted illegally seems highly dubious to me. the fact the republican supreme court, republican majority will get to select whether or not they choose another republican for the majority also seems sketchy. >> well, first, on the question of whether the north carolina supreme court is going to make the decision, there is an appeal to the fourth circuit on the decision to send it back. we have to wait and see which court ends up with jurisdiction of the case. you have to remember, it's a game plan. you men

who were elected in free poland , free czechoslovakia, free hungary, and the testimony is, morris yeltonorbachev said without radio liberty, there would not be any change we have testimonial. the dissident movement, very important in the soviet union which helped bring about the end of communist rule, by taking, people not allowed to emigrate from the soviet union, they would not have been known to -- for invoices -- for and -- they were part of the exchange that took place, politically during the cold war. in terms of today's broadcast, yes, always pressure on the radio, we call them the radio, but mostly tv now. that is our lingo in the field. you have to stand your ground. you have law that protects you when the president gives a state of the union, voa broadcasts that in every language, chinese, russian, ukrainian, whatever. they always have the opposite party's response. hearings on the hill are covered regardless, no major story ever goes not mentioned. there are curious moments, this is to jog your memory from 1984 , i would say, you may recall president reagan thinking that the m

robert morris is one of the men seated in the row of sitting figures, kind of in the middle left in the light colored suit. he's the merchant prince from philadelphia behind. him engaged in a little conversation. and as charles carro, well, the planter and merchant from when carol signs theeclaration someone jokes go a few millions but alsoosiah is here he's the third fr the left of e seated figures and he's a doctor and a farmerrom new hampshire and all these are dressed approximately the same way. no one is wearing a chain of or a jewel that represents a noble order. no one's wearing hermann's or other furs, known nobility in room. these are all men of the middle and upper class, wearing their best or very good clothes. the thing about them is that they've been. and they've finished their they've come to a decision. that's in jefferson's of paper. so there's no activity like david's of the tennis court where the french delegates are swearing their loyalty with upraised arms to the revolution. this is a this is a political group that has talked thought about it. and this is the conclus

edmund morris, later a biographer of reagan, said it came across as a strain an attempt at grand rhetoric. another dominant reaction in the american press was the speech. it sounded good, but it just wasn't very specific. well, while reagan's defense of democracy example, the new york times said that characteristically failed, to point the way from here to there or to give the russians a plausible of policy choices. jim anderson of upi the speech had few specific examples of the kind of project that reagan had in mind. the new york times and the same editorial i referenced a moment ago, reference reagan claim that democracy is not a fragile flower and the times concluded sarcastically about that flower power. it can work. but where's his spade? others thought that the speech just reflect american soviet policy, that the administration seemed, in the words of one commentator, have no soviet policy. peter schweitzer, who later wrote about the star wars program, noted that reagan was ridiculed scholars who believed he was fooling himself about the weaknesses of communism. now we have a coupl
