in fact, jefferson writes when he's sailing down the rind to mr. madison, from everything i now see which i've already seen in my native land, i believe next to the english, the germans make up a better portion of our population. well in virginia, jefferson should've thought for a moment. in williamsburg that i've known for 20 years, every other face is african american. that the great population of virginia is nearly 50% african american at the time that he's going to write the declaration of american independence. so i remind people, as we talk about when their ancestors may have arrived, and what about the african american? did not the first ship bear an african american sailing into the chesapeake bay in 16 19? and that was not of their own free will and volition, they were slaves. and they had been here many many generations already. but the point of the matter is that in the founding of our nation, we began to realize before the american revolution began, that we were becoming less and less british and more and more american. and then the prob

mr. jefferson and others as well and many older wiser members of the house, speaker robinson and mr. randolph and mr. whitten. the virginia house of burgesses was very entrenched. in the 1760s, the house had the sole authority to tax virginians. in may of 1774 close to the outbreak of the war as well, at the last session of the house, you mentioned it, mr. jefferson, i remember we called for fasting and prayer, in support of what was happening at that time. the boston citizenry was subjected to strong discipline by the following. it was at that time what you ref reynolds forefathers the governor promptly dissolved the house of burgesses, and we just met the next day. we signed a number of documents and continued to support the war. truth be told, the virginia house of burgesses never fully meets in full again. you might want to add to this, mr. jefferson. >> i remember vividly your speaking, once i took my seat in this house of burgesses. there was one concern immediately after the next and i recall after we heard about the closure of the port of boston retaliation by the crown becau

mr. jefferson as well. and of course, many wiser members of the burgesses, speaker robinson, mr. rand off. >> in the years leading up to the war for independence, the virginia house of burgesses was very entrenched in that struggle. in 1760, the house asserted it had the sole authority to tax virginians. in may of 1774, close to the outbreak of the war, at the last session of the house, you mentioned before mr. jefferson, i remember that we called for humiliation and prayer. this was in support of what was happening. the boston citizenry was subjected to acts of strong discipline. it was at that point, and this is what you referenced, that governor done more properly dissolved the virginia house of burgesses. we met the next day. we signed a number of documents and continue to support the war, but truth be told, the virginia house of burgesses never truly meets in full again. you might want to add to this, mr. jefferson. >> i remember vividly, general, those years that have speaking once i took my seat in the house of burgesses. there was one concern that followed immediately aft

mr. jefferson return to the united states in september. how did you each experience the french revolution from then on? >> how do we experience the revolution in france after that moment. if i may, my dear friend. >> my experience was i was saved at home, but you are correct that at the time of the storm, the storming of the bastille, as you, know i was already making preparations to return home. i was not certain exactly what was respected me in our new government. when i say that i mean our government under the constitution so i left september of 89 and in fact, general, i learned when i return, of what happened when you lead the parisians to their sides. >> indeed, my friend. it was after the storming of the bastille, that we were hopeful for establishing this constitutional monarchy which we frenchman -- frenchman felt was best suited, indeed, keeping the king as a chief executive, having a legislative body looking after the best interest of the people of friends, and this was achieved, but it took a bit of time. the document i assiste

mr. jefferson, that is quite a long time to simply write a declaration of independence. as you just said, everything was there for you to utilize. you are not designed to put forth anything new or original. but citizens i will tell you, i'm guilty of something that you all are guilty of. not one of us can escape. i make mistakes and it is not easy to erase ink. so when i go back over what i wrote, i would cross out what i did not care for. i would write the correction above or beneath. i would try inscribe that later in the evening and the next day i would make more mistakes. that continued for a good three days. i then had to hand my draft to the other four gentlemen, to the committee. they were extensive hours of labor. they're in that little room on that second floor of a newly-built brick town house in philadelphia city. i believe it was on the corner, the southwest corner of seventh and high street. i believe they call high street market street now in philadelphia. thank you mr. light for bringing back those memories of quite a labor on paper. next question, sir. >>

mr. jefferson. they don't really ask him to do anything, they just say we thought you would want to know. i will close perhaps with a brief letter from late in life that are really like. that is a letter in which jefferson writes to a man named bernard paton. he says, peyton has received a letter that is originally intended for james madison. he sends it back to jefferson. jefferson redirects the letter to madison, but he writes a brief letter thanking bernard paton. i correct my blunder of misdirecting my letter and i committed a similar blunder while in paris by cross directing two letters to two ladies out of which scrape i did not get out so easily. we can just imagine these two ladies each got the letters saying, i thought he liked me better. unfortunately, at this point we do not know what those two letters were. when we get to 1826, we will hopefully get that figured out because it was later in life. so i think with that, we are out of time. i thank you all for your time and attention. please

mr. light? >> well, president jefferson, we've had a number of questions about things that you like to eat. in fact, we had a question about whether or not it was all vegetables on your plate, and other questions asking if you like tomatoes. would you care to comment on what you served for dinner? >> you asked me amongst all things in the garden what are my favorite vegetables? what do i delight to provide at the table? whether i am fond of tomatoes? i'd like to say that i'm very much in favor of fruits and roots and leaves. of the fruits, i do consider the tomatoes, and beans, and yes i enjoy the tomatoes to be prepared in stuffs of the garden. that is actually a course that i now serve at the table here at monte carlo. i understand it is called a solid course. when i was growing up, we knew nothing of a solid course. it was in france that i became acquainted with it, and so i've enjoyed ever since. i have returned here to provide stuffs of the garden as a course, in a meal, and, yes tomatoes are used extensively. out of the routes, i enjoy karen's and beat, and of the, leaves i enjoy lett

mr. $10 bill. from the democratic republican, thomas jefferson. they could not be more stark opposites. the federalists stood for a constitution, a strong federal government. a strong financial and manufacturing base. and hamilton was their leader. versus the democratic republicans who were wary of centralized government, who were wary of encroachments upon personal liberties, who promoted farming and commerce among small villages instead of large cities and manufacturing. jefferson, the enlightened figure was their leader. that is the first party system. it is so-called because of what follows. indeed, the first party system was an earlier moment. one of the key issues was the embargo. we see from this cartoon that the embargo is spelled backwards as oh grab me. the artist here is representing the embargo as a large turtle turtle biting at the british smuggler who would try to break the embargo. it was a foreign policy measure designed to make it so that britain would have a hard time trading with the united states. it ultimately was one of the policies that doomed them to a second war

mr. woodson, glad to have you tonight. if we took down the washington monument tomorrow, if we bulldozed the jefferson memorial, whose liveset better? >> well, that is the biggest question. you know, someone once said, tucker, when truth-based facts are discounted, the lies become normal, and that is what we are seeing here. of all of the challenges facing, particularly black residents of washington, d.c., why is this may or spending and energy and money talking about tearing down statues? they are flirting with a very dangerous impulse when they start doing this, tucker, because you think about, in the french revolution, what they tried to do is rewrite history, and what you are seeing around the country are guillotines being established because in the french revolution, what they did, of course, is wipe out the people in church and also the aristocracy, and tried to even change the calendar, and as a consequence, it really -- it took us into a dark period, and what the mayor doesn't understand, america is a country of redemption. none of us should be defined by the worst of what we wear, but it is very dangerous for them

mr. foreperson, is that the decision of the grand jury? >> [ inaudible ]. >> thank you. sir, please randomly select a number. division 13. thank you, sir. the case will then be assigned to jefferson circuit court division 13. madam assistant attorney general do you have a motion with respect for bond? >> $15,000 full cash bond for the defendant brett hankinson i. grant the motion and assign bond in the amount of $15,000 full cash and issue a warrant. that concludes the business of the grand jury sitting for jefferson county in september 2020. thank you, ladies and gentlemen. you may be excused. i'm going off the record. >> all right. those are the charges announced. laura coates, bring you in for legal expertise and say the first count, i think i know what it was, but cut off a little bit. but laura, sort of take us through it. it appears, and you tell me if i'm correct in this, that there are three counts, all have to do with just one officer? i don't know if there could be more with others? you tell me that. but it appears to be at least two of those maybe three wanton endangerment in the first degree having to do with shooting into apartments occupied by initials c.e. c.n. and

mr. pack has chosen not to honor his commitment to testify in front of us, so we appreciate your time and, frankly, your courage. jeffersonnce said that if he had to choose between a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, he would not hesitate a moment to choose the latter. our founders knew a free press was vital to open democratic society and usagm was founded on the very principles and thanks to 350 million people all around the world i couldn't say it better. organizations that complement and reinforce one another in a shared mission vital to u.s. national interests, to inform, to engage and to connect people around the world in support of freedom and democracy. so it is clear to me all the witnesses adhere to those values and are committed to the pursuit in support of this mission and that's why i've watched with such alarm as mr. pack has compromised so many of these core elements. to neighboring a few, attempting to withhold funding from and cripple programs of national security efforts to the united states. making public comments about foregoing covid protections for employees in an effo
