so the man himself, my husband nick adams. [applause] good evening ladies and gentlemen tonight we gather to do something unique, to do something as a path seldom traveled we are not going to focus on our weaknesses or orruggles, nor will the label on our intersection lamenting our failures were blamed for guilty parties. tonight we are going to focus on what unites us as americans and what i'm ties us. tonight, we celebrate our amazing adhesive, the glue to our greatness. what makes us tick to so many so different. the american dream. it's set up by the founders esteemed men of legacy that would permit men and women beyond what they would and could in other lands. it didn't focus on strengthening the weak by weakening the strong. you cannot help that all men by tearing down big men in a society that refuses to lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer got rejected helping the poor by destroying the rich and aware that the brotherhood of man would be furthered by assigning the class hatred. circumstances that limit o

nick adams. christy, let's begin with you.f that few doubt that joe biden is not going to have trouble raising money but it's the mix that might raise questions? the passion isn't there among smaller donors, among those that went for barack obama that led to bigger donations? what do you think? >> we don't know that's the case yet. he just announced this morning. could in fact be the case that he will have a flood of small dollar donations. let's think about why we care about whether these candidates can raise money or not. >> neil: because i led with it. that's a good reason. >> it's a great reason. an amazing reason. beyond that, we care because it shows that they have an ability to compete in this race, right? we already know that joe biden is going to have the ability to compete. he's very well-known. he's had the ability to get his message out there. he's not going to have to have these stumbling blocks that something that is an unknown candidate without money would have to face. so in his particular instance, i'm not sur

we are so happy to have you here and for those of you that do not know, i am the wife of nick adams.

have been possible to realise without all the previous esther's before him without the likes of nick sabo adam back david tom timothy mcveigh eric hughes and john gilmore the famous image of them on wired magazine these are the cypherpunks their ideas their philosophy and their ideology were important and without those ideas already in the mix. just like the american revolution and the french revolutions there were ideas explored for decades before the revolution could suddenly erupt well you know i'll make an analogy it's ginsberg how will wright i mean this was a screech from the pit of humanity these guys cypherpunks are employed by the oppressors their surveillance state governments but they clung to their humanity and they were able to pass encrypts into the public by using the constitution famously and now what bitcoin they're passing value and he creates and of trade to the masses. the cypherpunks started working on concepts of digital money in the like late eighty's early ninety's and there were quite a few people in the space who had what seemed to be promising ideas but ultimately we

here's nick adams. >> good evening. welcome to mount vernon.my name is kevin butterfield i'm the director of the fred w smith national library for the study of george washington in mount vernon it's my pleasure à Ãin the ford motor company, which each month sponsors a cfree monthly book talk just like this one an opportunity for people from the community to come and learn from some of the greatest historians in the field. thank you so much for being here tonight we are thrilled to have you. to begin the program shortly you will hear a brief presentation from susan swain, copresident chief executive d d author of c-span and co-author of the presentation tonight. she will be joined by brian lamb, founder and executive in moderating an esteemed group of historians in discussing the american presidency. the american presidency is as you know a fascinating subject of inquiry in every possible way. in the constitution there is not as much said about it as you might imagine. article 1 is quite long, article 2 much shorter, the key phrase in it is abou

we have the josh and founder for american greatness founder nick adams joins us. good to see you.e talked about education fatigue. that is current. immigration and economy leading issues that americans really care about, do you think democrats should maybe stand down from a lot of these investigations? >> no. i think democrats can do both. that is what voters warrant them to do. david: but they haven't been doing both. >> absolutely have. david: what legislation than you point to. >> three weeks ago, democrats introduced new health care legislation. thief been trying to work with trump on immigration for years he rejects compromise deals. every day democratic candidates are talking about policies. they have constitutional duty to oversight of executive branch. so they absolutely should be doing both. in my organization's battleground polling health care, wages at top but corruption in government is actually significantly higher than immigration according. david: nick, respond. >> david i'm not in habit of dispensing advice to democratic candidates or democrats in general but if th

what to make of this backlash, steph knight, foundation for liberty and american greatness founder nick adamse c. wright. she's chairman. maxine waters is supposed to be the one who keeps order, not disturbs it. some people say she helped to disturb order. what do you think? >> it was certainly a fascinating thing to watch, to see maxine waters kind of push steve mnuchin towards staying, mnuchin trying to leave. there was definitely a lot of fireworks there, as you said. i think it's really symbolic of the entire fight we're seeing over trump's tax returns, where we are seeing democrats very adamant that the president turn over his returns, that the irs turn over his tax returns, and the white house and white house officials being slow to actually agree to those terms. so i think kind of the frustration in that entire situation kind of came out in this moment over whether to end the hearing or not yesterday. david: antoine, in favor of chairman waters, she can be pretty militant when she wants to be, talking about impeachment, everything, but as charlie gasparino, who is no big fan of hers, s

adams, bbc news. our correspondent, nick beake is in colombo for us this evening. colombo but we will try to get back to him as soon as we can. a woman from manchester has been confirmed as the eighth british victim killed in the bombings. 55—year—old it director lorraine campbell was staying at the cinnamon grand hotel in colombo on a business trip when she died. ms campbell's husband, neil evans, said he had lost his "best friend in the world for all adventures". her son, mark, has paid tribute to his mother and described how the family lost contact with her. her husband neil i believe, was informed first that they could not find her. and that she was there. i think as more details came out he put two and two together. he was texting her in the restaurant in the morning and then the text stopped. then the report came out and he put two and two together. part of it was a shock and disbelief, and the other pa rt a shock and disbelief, and the other part was, ijust a shock and disbelief, and the other part was, i just felt for the person telling me. to my mum, i was

nick, thank you. there certainly is, not least what other european leaders will make of it all. adam too good to be true. nick talks about texts he's had from mps. i'vejust heard true. nick talks about texts he's had from mps. i've just heard from an ambassador who is usually right about the sort of things and he said it is good that there were treaty is still the point of departure and also they are going to explore things across the aisle, so talk to the labour party, but it is too early to respond to the possible request for the extension and we are waiting for london to come forward with a plan. theresa may has sketched out an idea of what she is going to do butjust saying she is going to do butjust saying she is going to do butjust saying she is going to talk tojeremy corbyn is not enough for the eu yet. they want to see the end product where this cross— party to see the end product where this cross—party process leads, and then to reason they will have to explain to reason they will have to explain to eu leaders at a special summit on wednesday what she intends to do, what the

adams, resigned, accusing mrs may of making a ‘grave error‘. and there are risks for the labour leader too. here‘s our political correspondent, nick eardley.abour brexit? can you fix the cracks in your cabinet this way? this is not prime minister wants to be, but after failing three times to times to get a deal through parliament, she is now looking to labour. she has tried to get that through un—conservative votes and not being able to, she is trying to now do that on labour votes. so could an unlikely compromise between these two get brexit three? the prime minister say she can‘t change the withdrawal agreement, the way we leave, but she will explore what our future deal looks like.” leave, but she will explore what our future deal looks like. i think there are a number of areas we agree on in relation to brexit. we both wa nt to on in relation to brexit. we both want to deliver that leaving the eu with the deal, we both want to protect jobs, with the deal, we both want to protectjobs, i think we both want to ensure that we enter free movements, i think we both recognise the importance of the withdrawal agreement. what we want to do now

nick, thank you very much indeed. our brussels correspondent adam fleming is in luxembourg.nt meeting going on, not about brexit, but we are concerned with brexit, and we are hearing from reuters that mrs may is going to be travelling not only to berlin to meet chancellor merkel, but also to the elysee palace in paris? yes, so ifi the elysee palace in paris? yes, so if i had been speaking to ten minutes ago, i would have told you that the diplomats here are saying, she is going to berlin, why is the prime minister not going to paris? because it is emmanuel macron, the french president, who is being the toughest and asking the most questions about what the point of an extension would be. and lo and behold, the prime minister is going to paris to talk to president macron to paris to talk to president macron to talk about the extension of what the conditions might be. there are two things people are talking about. first of all, what is theresa may's plan. you remember the agreement she struck with a 27 eu leaders at the last summit was that she would come to them with a plan fo

adams, bbc news. earlier today, the deputy defence minister spoke about the attrocities. nickey were all sri lankans. what is yet still to emerge fully is how they went from being in what was a pretty hardline islamist group here, which frankly annoyed a lot of muslim communities here, they attacked buddhist statues last year, how they went from that to carrying out such a sophisticated, deadly attack. is there a sense that things are calming down given that there was concern that there were other bombs around, that the police were very on edge? i think that is hard to say, simon. the state of emergency continues, there is another curfew here overnight. there were more controlled explosions in colombo today. the police are still on the lookout for a van or a lorry potentially packed with explosives so that is of great concern to people. there are no signs that the security is being diminished here. in all the big buildings you have armed troops and also commandos patrolling the streets. this feels like a country which is not letting down its guard. and also, crucially, the us

nick watt for us in poway, thank you. >>> this comes six months to the day after 11 people were murdered at the tree of life synagogue in pittsburgh. adamurtsman is with us now, a spokesman from the synagogue. i want to read this to our viewers. it was written the following. anyone, ad, who has been through something traumatic knows that you go through it again sometimes when you hit a six-month anniversary, so to speak, or a one-year anniversary. help us understand what you and what the community is going through when you hear that this happened again to someone else? >> it's really quite traumatic and i know there definitely have been people in pittsburgh, both in the jewish and nonjewish community who have been retraumatized by this team. although that is the case and i think a sense here that we understand our city is very safe and the jewish community is very safe. there has been so much work done even before the october 27th attacks and so much done since then, so although people here are very sad and there was a vigil last night, i also think that there is a sense that the jewish community here can be safe. >> it is touching to s

country will stay in a customs union with the eu. 0ne minister nigel adams resigned this morning, calling the move a grave error. nick where the prime minister wants to be, but after failing three times to get her deal through parliament, she is now looking to labour. so could an unlikely compromise between these two get brexit through? the prime minister say she can't change the withdrawal agreement, the way we leave, but she will explore what our future deal looks like. i think there are a number of areas we agree on in relation to brexit. we both want to deliver leaving the eu with the deal, we both want to protectjobs, i think we both want to ensure that we end free movement, i think we both recognise the importance of the withdrawal agreement. what we want to do now is to find a way forward that can command the support of this house and deliver a brexit. labour wants a close—knit relationship following eu trade rules through a customs union and that could be the price of his leader's support. mr speaker, i welcome the prime minister's offer for talks following the meetings i have held with members across this ho

adam, i shall talk to you later, thank you very much. if i've got any. if he got them, he nearly said, but the violin was not playing. our political correspondent, nickini cabinet meeting happening now just finished, we have labour and the cabinet saying we may be ending to something we don't know what, then we have this clock ticking on then we have this clock ticking on the background rather relentlessly now? welcome to all the certainty of westminster at the moment (i) that meeting with some ministers was at the request of some of those ministers, who wanted to see the prime minister i assume because they are not having a cabinet meeting tomorrow because the pm is off on that trip to paris and to berlin. the big question here, though, is whether there is going to be any progress in those discussions between the labour party and the government about trying to thrash out some sort of brexit deal they can both agree on. the big sticking point is what the government will commit to in the future. it's not about how we leave, the withdrawal agreement, it is about the political declaration in the future, labour wa nt declaration in the future, labour wan
