it's great to be here with my fellow panelists and thanks to ed at the naval academy for this opportunity. i thought it might be useful and unusual for me at least to approach the panel is topics civic virtue it's decline it's reinvigoration but a somewhat autobiographical perspective. long ago and far away when i went to college the cutting-edge topic was something that we called the grave tone, the critique of liberalism. and we had leading authors and books. i was at college and we read a book called knowledge and politics by roberto unger, a kind of genius underlining both words. we read the writings back of charles taylor and alastair mcintyre. especially influenced by book called after virtue. some of you have studied political theory may be familiar with this book. the core argument of mcintyre's book of great interest for those who are interested the critique of liberalism and liberalism the course meant the modern tradition of freedom. mcintyre's core argument to be familiar to many the especially those of you who follow debates about post liberalism mcintyre's argument 40 years

but, you know, when you finish high school in minnesota applied to the naval academy and the waiting list was so long that he he took additional courses to try to you know college courses just to try to further educational is waiting to hear from the naval academy finally after a year and a half he gives up and applies to west point and they take him right away but he had he had wanted to be in the services his life. and then if you take a look at the the things that he did, i mean, it's a it's kind of a typical career in some ways for interwar officers that is kind of age and seniority, you know civilian conservation corps assignments, the princeton expedition. and in the punitive expedition lots of folks in his time period were involved those things. but one of the unique things about it is that very early on that that intellect of his, you know, at west point, he was one of the best students in math or, ordnance, design, drawing, you graduated 11th in his class. and those courses, those subjects were also very high around the top ten of his class. and so his second assignment ther

and they they go by steamboat down the bay to the naval academy, which has been taken over by the by the union. union under the command of ben butler. and the troops disembark there. and then they they go by train to washington. so this is what i call the water route, which i think certainly. avoided further hostilities in baltimore, which i think would have been would have been a terrible even worse than would happen in the 19th. so i mentioned the legislative session. on april 27th. i'm sorry, 26. governor hicks finally called the legislature into a special session. they did not meet in annapolis, which was capital of maryland. now, of course, they met in frederick in western for several reasons. maybe we can talk about during the question time. they met in frederick, which was a much more union friendly area. and lincoln instructs general winfield scott, the chief of the army, not interfere with the legislators. he says basically, if we interfere with them and we detain them, we release him after a few days. and they're just likely to reassemble and do what we would be more likely

library after more than 30 years it was terribly exciting, let 's see, this is the building of the naval academy librarian for 3 years, tatyana, would you like to try yourself in the role of a librarian again? you know, i'm interested in asking, it seems to me that i can't handle it, because now everything is computerized, but at least get acquainted why not, hello, oh, hello, it's you, it's you taking, yes, so what's the date today, i 'm a bit nervous, like this, please, hurray, i feel like some kind of idiot. i can't do this, i don't look there, i'll do something wrong there, oh, tatyana, can i take a selfie with you, yes , that's why i came, so that, hello, hello, yes, it's me, can i take a photo with you, please, yes, i 'll write it down now so that they give you a book. thank you very much, thank you very much, glad to see you see here, thank you, i want to tell you, the work of the library has changed a lot in 30 years. thank you, thank you, goodbye, thank you, well, by the way, there was a foreign department at the academy and there were. such naval officers, it seems to me that they were

so far, you know, i like what i see the all time winningest coach in naval academy history ran the tripleption in his 15 seasons at the academy, but with the spartans, he's going to air it out. the offense is being dubbed the spread and shred. i love it, it's really, really, really fun. it gives us the freedom to, you know, make plays and let our receivers make plays. while the spartans are learning their new offense, they're also looking for a new quarterback, first team all conference selection chevan cordeiro has moved on to the pros. there's now a three way battle for the starting job. we hope to have a starter as soon as possible. the sooner the better, but we're not going to force it either way. let it play itself out along with a new quarterback and head coach, the spartans have a lot of new faces on the roster, partly due to the new transfer portal rules they've added close to 50 new players on the team. everybody's rosters have flipped tremendously and to me it's the teams that are able to come together quicker than other teams are the teams that are going to be successful. under

my brother attends the naval academy and my dad has been involved in politics. it meant was doing good in the world. politics has always seemed like the best way to make a positive different in the world. i volunteered on campaigns in the past. this year, now that i'm turning 18, it feels like it was the next stepping stone for me to represent myself and my district and especially young voters around the country at the convention. >> isaac, how is it that you decided to do this? what is it that you feel are the most important issues for young people? >> well, for me personally, i have type i diabetes and my mom has type i diabetes. health care is incredibly important for me. what the biden administration did, capping the cost of insulin as $35 a month and harris promises to cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month for everyone, that is the most important issue. that's one of the biggest reasons why i will be supporting kamala harris. >> what's your impression of the political climate today? how do you perceive the state of play? >> i feel like there's a lot of div

bit of the debate right before covid and so we did it on line and not being able to come for the naval academy was an unfortunate thing during that time but i feel delighted now to be here with you. .. the crisis of liberalism that has been discussed i'm assuming having seen the program and heard a little bit of the last panel. that in many ways i'm going to state it as a kind of stipulate of kind of claim we are in a post- liberal time. liberalism in a sense in the way in which we heard in the last panel used to be in some respects much better. does a certain amount of nostalgia whatever might be the 1950s, or the 1900 certain turn-of-the-century. whatever the timeframe was. we are looking back on their single liberalism used in better shape the political order was once in better shape. and now it is not. there is a yearning to bring something in their back or to correct some aspects of the current moment. in many ways run a post- liberal moment. the speaker from me after lunch it was celebrating those who come to an end in 1989 a confidence about the american project in the liberal product i

since he left the naval academy in annapolis in 1996, he has set the standard for excellence and achievement. today, on the other side of his navy career, i want to give captain crossman a proper sendoff by saying a few words about this remarkable public servant. this summer i travelled with eddie on a congressional delegation trip. as usual, he was a top-notch navy liaison with attention to detail and winning, positive attitude. we could not have accomplished so much without him. i know my colleagues would be able to share similar stories, very many of my colleagues. as a member of the senate legislative affairs team, captain crossman made sure no senate's question went unanswered. he has left no delegation unsupported. the relationship between this body and the navy is better because of his efforts. this summer's visit to three of our strong allies kept a working relationship between captain crossman and me that began in 2009 when i was lucky enough to have him join my office as a defense legislative fellow. in that role, he conducted himself with distinction. he took his job seriously, co
