so they hope that that victory is going to occur in northern virginia, under the command, general john poe, he's commanding the army of virginia. and lincoln essentially gives him, the army of the potomac. they never relieve mcclellan of command. they detach the entire and send it to poe. and pope, we know gets defeated soundly defeated at the second battle of manassas. and a union army retreats into the fortifications of washington in tremendous disorder. the troops are disorganized. they're they're really discouraged, and they are furious at pope pope's time. you can't have a pope anymore. so lincoln comes to a very decision. he calls cabinet meeting on september the second and he tells his cabinet that he is placing george mcclellan in command of all the forces within, the fortifications. he's very specific about. he is not the commander of the troops that will put in the field commander of in the fortification, because we haven't decided what we're going to with mcclellan yet. now gideon wells, who you see in the lower, says there was a more disturbed and despond ing feeling than i

they fought a battle against the army of northern virginia and their advancing. it was a hard battle casualties were high. i was i'm very unpleasant experience, but we won this battle. we're advancing now. how do you decide who wins the battle soldiers by the way, they're cheering here. i don't know if you can see they're waving their hats and cheering there was quite a cheer a grant was eager to get them to be quiet because we don't want lee to know where we're moving any place. how do you know who won a battle is it is the side that one the side that suffers fewer casualties you know, we haven't gotten to world war two yet, but if the side that takes the fewest casualties is the winner. then irwin rommel won d-day. right and the united states lost and currently bradley was thrown back into the sea and we'd all be speaking german today. well known not exactly but no that it's not how you figure out who wanted that it's who gets more of what he wants of the situation that he wants afterwards and the person who gets what he wants after the battle is grant. he's co

multiple sources close to the investigation denied the fbi planned to visit trump's northern virginiaunced he was working from the club on monday. federal prosecutors want district judge aileen cannon to reconsider her ruling from last week telling investigators to temporarily stop examining more than 100 classified government documents seized from mar-a-lago until a special master reviews them first. they wrote that cannon's order could impede effort to identify the existence of any additional classified records that are not being properly stored. they argue cannon's order poses ongoing risk to national security. department of justice officials have until midnight to respond to the latest filing from trump's legal team. federal judge aileen cannon is expected to make an announcement on the special master at some point, possibly later this week. the government is appealing this case to a higher court. bret? >> bret: david spunt at the justice department. david, thank you. breaks just minutes ago from the "new york times," the justice department has issued about 40 subpoenas in the pas

it now serves more than 30 thousand -- 30,000 families a year in dc, northern virginia and maryland. wholesale, and accepts donations. the need remains high, partly because most government assistance programs don't cover diapers, and with inflation those costs are even higher. in the u.s., disposable diaper prices are up 10% since last year. and they're currently subject to sales tax in 29 states. the average infant goes through 8 to 12 diapers a day. that'sver 200 a month; several thousand per year. kathryn: you can't put food stamps towards diapers. you can't put medicaid towards diapers. ali: kathryn edwards is an economist at the rand corporation, a global policy institute. kathryn: sadly enough, the u.s. has no peer in how little it invests in children and young families. ali: in a 2020 study, unicef ranked 38 developed countries by child wellbeing. the united states was 36th. some of the contributing factors include poor parental leave policies, a lack of public investment in childcare and early learning, and scarcity of affordable housing compared to other advanced countries.

the northern virginia office was put up exclusively to serve afghans. it is an example of what is possible. with that said, we must continue to advocate for those who have been settled under temporary status. finding gainful employment, securing permits status in the u.s. are top priorities. afghan workers face language barriers, lack of public transportation, and in unfamiliarity with american hiring practices. afghans in particular have trouble with skills matching. those who were engineers by training find themselves unable to work in their field because of certification requirements. at the same time, the employment aspect of this mission is a attentional win-win scenario. you just have to look at the latest headlines to know that employers are hungry for talent amidst the labor shortage. these workers are eager to contribute. ice is everywhere i go. if you want to support the settlement mission, one way is simple. hire an afghan. there are two major challenges. when is the unification of families that were separated -- one is the unification of fam

in a battle for resources, katherine sawyer has more from somebody who county in northern virginia cities recently arrived at this sanctuary in some bureau county in north kenya, she was found near her dead mother, with no food or water. ha caretaker, say she is settling into her new home, which she shares with several other offerings. they believe her mother may have starved to death. we are feeding them off over 3 hours, and each and every baby is getting to lead us buffy. and run, you see now we are buying those milk from the local people and it's got me and the memos of gods in the community they need food to eat. santi said this is the longest strike spell. in decades for rainy seasons have failed. and more than 4000000 people, the livestock and wildlife have been affected. most of these carves have lost their mothers. some have been abandoned because of various reasons. but a bigger problem is because of a drought that has affected parts of the country. elephant keeper, say they're worried, thousands of elephants crisscross this region. a long migration corridors they have used for

maybe forgotten, but he does have the name of a great university in northern virginia that, has supplied a lot of great history majors that are sitting in this room. so yours truly to plug locate anything you know that i have anything to add it's it's interesting i guess, you know, playing off of what lindsey mentioned earlier that history is important to think of not just as stagnant or done or stale, just because it was in the past we have to keep going back to learn from it and something i like to say that i you know, like to keep on a little post-it note on my monitor at work is, you know, doesn't change. but our relationship to it does pretty constantly, right kind of depending on where we are standing in our present moment, our relationship to our past going to change. and so something i've been thinking about lately, working through looking at the 18th century or the 17th century through the lens of the 18th or vice versa, is that that must have been something that the quote unquote founders were thinking about to. because if you think about the 17th century and english history, i

many republicans think conservative candidates have momentum, democrats in northern virginia think childrent worries me most, these people that are politicizing them are using our children for their own gain. they are taking stories and mixing up some information and just trying to use for their own political gain. >> one school board candidate in loudoun county. >> i am not sharing my parenting with a government organization and this is the hill that i will die on. >> just another example of how passionate parents are and on school boards when this comes to children's education. >> dana: something we'll be watching. >> bill: a number of races will determine control of the house on election night. both sides fighting hard for new york's 18th, hudson river valley north of new york city, latest power ranking shows the race to be toss-up. collin smith, the republican, joins us now, good morning to you. >> welcome. >> you're a military man, pat ryan is a military man, as well, how do you see the contest as of today? >> this is the most competitive race in the state of new york most likely to fl

area today as his legal drama plays out he was spotted playing golf at his club in northern virginia. danya perry is here. thanks so much the justice department argues this is a matter of national security over top secret documents. the trump team says they haven't proven that. what do you make of this filing? >> so it's really coming to a head now and the department of justice, i think, shrewdly is putting the judge to her paces in a way that she really hadn't in her prior ruling. remember the judge had ruled that the, the, the review, the criminal investigative review of all of the thousands of documents that have been seized needs to be halted pending the appointment and review by a special master the department of justice came back and said well, you're lumping together, judge, all of the documents that have been seized pursuant to the warrant at mar-a-lago. she mainly described the personal documents, the medical records, accounting records, clothing, and the like and attorney client privilege records and kind of mash ted th all together with classified records. and the governmen

like, there is a sandwich on there that is built after something that is in a restaurant in northern virginiast, bond, with a a buffalo chicken patty in the middle. that is my favorite. >> neil: it is sweet, savory, and it was hillary's idea coming to take two pieces of french toast, we a go french toast emma we go fast, we want to make it simple. >> but cap he's this. >> i mean how did this all st start? >> will i mean it's a great question, the way it started, neil, is my wife, kathy, six years ago was diagnosed with eye cancer. >> out of nowhere. i mean, we were going to go and get some sunglasses on the doctor was like kathy, could you come back in three months, i want to just look at the back of your eye. and, what is it, and he says, oh, it is nothing. it would be, you know, we just want to look at it. came back in three months, later the guy goes, could you please go and see dr. so-and-so down the street. it is like, okay, i'd soliciting and he's like i think you should go. we go to the doctor, the retinal specialist and he looks in her eye and he says, hey, can you go to philadelphia

then this is the lower right showing that it was done by topographical engineers in the army of northern virginia. most likely west point trained and then who that officer was and then who who actually copied. so this would have been done from several different topographical engineers would have done a piece of this. and then this officer put it all together. but like i said, it's a it's amazing the detail that's involved in this. so this one is we'll keep gettysburg. so this is gettysburg related. this is a few days after the battle. this is lincoln writing to general halleck. so this is all in lincoln's hand. it we have certain information that vicksburg surrendered to general on the 4th of july. now, if general meade can complete his work so gloriously prosecute to thus far by the literal or substantial destruction of army the rebellion be over yours truly lincoln. so you can just sense the president's optimism in this as many of you know things were not going well the first couple of years on the eastern theater for the union for the union army. and now lincoln is looking at there's a victory

housing prices in washington, d.c., and northern virginia and in suburban maryland went up even as thecountry was living that class. opioid epidemics is a crisis that a lot of people in washington, d.c., -- opioid yodz -- are not known around washington, d.c. inflation is that kind of crisis. it is a very real thing yet people in this city host white wine parties to talk about how great it is that passing legislation that spent hundreds of billions dollars more accelerating inflation and called it the inflation reduction act. let's show what we learned about inflation. more had than ar year ago last summer when americans felt prices creeped higher, the president dismissed long-term inflation with this quote, there's nobody suggesting there's any unchecked inflation on the way. no serious economist. close quote. with what? that was an incredibly bizarre dishonest statement an everyone knew when it was spoken when speech writers wrote it, they knew that wasn't true. why did they know? well, because inflation went are from 1.4% to 5.5% in the three months before that statement was uttered

and lastly you should be proud about being in alexandria and about being in northern virginia because, both fairfax county and alexandria also have established their own local planning bodies to again put not just virginia but northern virginia at the center of this important. so please visit the website. stay connected there's be a lot on over the next few years and we look forward to an absolutely fabulous commemoration in 2026. thank you. thank you so much, scott. i appreciate everyone being here and i just want to say that history is cool and think we've learned a lot this morning and i really appreciate that. if questions that we've already proposed this morning. but have a lot more coming this afternoon on george mason and john adams and maybe have some singing of john adams songs from 1776 later this afternoon. or maybe that'll be for our happy hour later at gatsby's tavern museum, where we talk about america and the complex of after all of this revolution and what do we do next? what happens next? how do we be a nation? so please come visit our tavern and you can learn all abo

their experience must have been like at highland while their wives charity and and were here in northern virginia at oak hill. and so the story becomes their experience, even though we're telling the story of the place it's told a perspective that it would be obvious for me to talk about the discovery would be obvious to about monroe was president so we needed this but let's think more deeply about whose story can we share by saying, well, this guesthouse was built by these men and this was their experience doing it and that of their wives. so those personal stories can tell place. yeah and i really i like that because again you're just talking about their labor you're not just talking about the structure itself and the materiality of the structure and what it took and the presidency that exactly exact. yeah. so it opens the door to talk about their humanity as we've been. and sometimes we have to imagine that empathetically within the historical knowledge that we have. right. well and thank you for that. thank you all of you. i'm going to give these next few questions. all three of you, anyone c

as a breast cancer in northern virginia i've thankfully found unbounded compassion, empathy, dignity, privacy in human connection, but according to kentucky's trigger law banning abortion, i would lose all decision making autonomy and be subject to a doctor'sdy chretien whether an abortion was necessary to prevent the substantial risk of death. is stage one breast cancer enough? stage two? what relevance are my two children for whom i desperately seek the best prognosis and longevity for myself? does the law require me to endure the state compelled progression of cancer? the answers to these questions would be entirely unclear. in reality, doctors would treat me under an amorphous cloud of state-imposed label because the kentucky law makes it a class d felony to provide abortion outside of these exceptions. i'd like to ask you, dr. brandi, i was very, very struck by this. and it strikes me that this is probably not an unusual concern or case. >> thank you, senator, for the question and you're absolutely right that i think that many people before all of this happened didn't really unde

sarah, from northern virginia, was part of a group of student loan borrowers who entered into somethingcalled a joint consolidation loan, which allowed married couples to combine their student debt into a single loan. truth was though that sounded good, but congress didn't allow anyone to unwind those loans in the event of a divorce or abusive relationship. finally, in 2006, congress got rid of the whole program. when they got rid of the whole program they didn't retroactively create an option for those folks who had entered into these joint consolidation loans between 1993 and 2006. when my constituent, sarah, who had divorced from her husband when she was living in texas, she was still responsible for this loan. so all of the debt that had originally been his was suddenly fell upon her shoulders. is the divorced husband stopped paying the debt, yet she was still responsible. and she, sarah, had to continue facing the consequences. now, she was a single mom of two, public schoolteacher. sarah was financially on the hook for her defaulting husband's student debts. her credit suffered dr

northern virginia, that's a place where you really do still have significant frustration about how longparts of the country, as well. but i think on the whole, this is going to benefit democrats. it's on the margins, right? first of all, many americans have kind of moved on. covid is not dominating their lives. i don't think there are have many voters out there who have covid the top of their mind. but the important thing here is that it fits this larger pattern, that on abortion, on january 6th, on covid, we see significantly more swing voters saying, i like the democratic approach than saying i like the republican approach. that doesn't mean this is going to be a great midterms for democrats, but it does help explain why a midterm that should have been great for republicans, they're the out party, many are unhappy with the economy, a midterm that should have been great for the republicans is now looking a lot more complicated. >> yeah. if you're in new york city today, you don't have to wear masks if you're using mass transit. i'm sure quite a few people would cheer. i would say my wi

my favorite one might be, it's a model of something from one of my regular restaurants in northern virginiaf it was complicated to make, we would not be able to make it. >> ainsley: picture of you and hillary eating it on the street? >> peter: it is, it is. and i feel bad, you know, doing this report right after you talk about writing a new cookbook. groceries are so expensive, so when you get home at 9:30 every day and you have to go to the grocery store to pick up stuff to make the recipes, tough year for that. >> steve: it is indeed. thank you very much. >> ainsley: i like the way he explained it, he said everything you buy is 8% more. in august, 8% more and that's what the consumer price index said. average basket of consumer goods and services purchased by a household. >> brian: overall, the president of the united states knows he's going to get a report card. it's going to decide whether he's, his party is going to have control of the house and senate. that's how people are going to respond, from what his policies are he could trump all day want, mainstream media can say whatever they

former president trump was spotted at his golf course in northern virginia yesterday wearing that red make america great again hat. trump was seen with a group of 8 to 12 people, including his son eric. making an unexpected arrival at dulles airport on sunday amid speculation the justice department could charge him with crimes. trump posted on social media yesterday he was just working during the rare post-presidential trip to the d.c. area. let's bring in justice department reporter for the "new york times" katie benner and former u.s. attorney barbara mcquaid. katie, i'll start with you, and this report in the times that you contributed to. we laid out some of the names of this wide range of 40 people around donald trump who did receive subpoenas from the justice department. so who all are we talking about beyond some of the names we laid out, and why this rush in recent days? >> so on the timing, i think one of the reasons why the justice department put out this sort of blast of subpoenas request for information and took phones because they are bumping up against the two months bef
