robert he leaves army in northern virginia, of course is, still here. it's unbeaten, unbowed. and all of the battles lee has fought in virginia, he has won, hasn't done that well. and he's gone up to places like antietam or gettysburg. but virginia still is his preserve. and in the spring 1864, the army in northern virginia, about 65,000 soldiers is just south of the rapidan river that runs through central virginia, around area of orange courthouse. and it's in good good metal. everyone is ready to win this war for the south. lincoln is quite concerned that the union war effort shows some more energy. and he's particularly concerned that lee not win more battles, particularly with an election coming up. and so he decides to bring his best, ulysses s east to virginia. my good friend richard mcmurry, who's probably the eminent civil war historian of the western theater, always accuses me of having what he calls virginia disease or vd is, how he. is, how he delicately it. and i always have to remind richard that, back in the spring of 1864, everybody had. this is where all eyes we

that's one fourth of the mobile infantry of the army in northern virginia. they're already outnumbered two artillery battalions, and they're going to go west. and whatever the conversations or whatever they talk to, obviously about, if a possibility arises, why don't you turn north and go down to valley and see what happens. the important to that is for what i was talking about. the this is lee's last chance, if you will he doesn't know how it's going to come out and we're going to try to change initiative to re group and start to dictate he can do ulysses as what is transpiring in virginia in the eastern theater of the war. well of course know early does he. well hunter was not much of an anyhow chases men into mountain turns north heads down the valley crosses the potomac and ends up in the outskirts of washington, d.c.. c and dubois raid. and then they come back into virginia union force under george cook falls. he gets whipped at second kerns town on july the 24th. a week later. a calvary regiments go into chambersburg and burn james, pennsylvania 400 pl

one of the best example shoes, fabia and she's, we used to be restored in the country, was in northern virginia. when those letters were calling articles, i didn't order the country, even kidnapping over 200 school girls at one point during our forces, couldn't stop them. and she was hired and it took them a couple of weeks that were pretty equipped bit armed or better trained than what's in your insecurity forces where it was in a couple of weeks they're able to push the surgeons right out of the north and calm the whole situation done something that the niger and armed forces couldn't do for 6 years. in what capacity have you worked with wagner? i think for each contract of the own. so we'll do pretty similar at the end of the day. is that most of us on off in the armed forces and once we had lifted, we had a certain filtered retreat. we couldn't apply anywhere else but to go to contracting. and if we take into consideration at that time, you know, the middle east spring up was iraq, afghanistan, syria, that was happening. so there was a huge move on age military guys who are the right age go

even before the earthquake, we had over 4000000 people in northern virginia, almost 90 percent of them in need of assistance. now you can imagine how the scale and now how much the, the population going to be in need of shelter, of a place to, to be protected from the elements from the weather, from snow health care. i mean dyers, he is currently responding. we have a house health care facilities and providing medical supplies, but we do need funding. we need a lot of funding to, to cover all these need on the ground. that's in terms of health and based of course, of these 2 basic items to the water. our of our crucial areas, a lack of clean and safe drinking water and sanitation on both sides of the border . but how concerned are you about the outbreak of disease in syria, particularly given that they don't have the, the medical supplies or capacity to be able to treat it. our concern is, is significant because again before this earthquake, the color outbreak just, it was announced in october. so it wasn't too far long. and even before the earthquake, it was, we were calling for more

so i thought we would just disposable as a black person who grew up in like northern virginia. i always felt like there wasn't room for me. and environmentalism, was i into the environment? absolutely. from super young age. now i think black and brown, people get involved with these things because we don't have a choice. like when you think about who is being affected by climate emergency. currently in the u. s. it is a lot of marginalized people, you know, but additionally, if you go back into the history of the u. s. black, people are stewards of the land. that's what happens when you grow everything there at the cotton, you know, and you have to make things grow that never grew in that climate before. you're actually more in tuned with the land and the people that are turning profit off of your back. and so even as a child, i felt like there is no room for me in the conversation, even though i knew that i had this in my heart, this is something that i've always been a part of, but it felt incredibly whitewashed, you know, growing up in the eighty's and ninety's, i mean i spe

later on april 10th by the roar. 800 cannons celebrating the surrender of robert e lee's army, northern virginia. the final way that marked the end of the military phase of the civil war, the poet walt whitman captured best the indescribable emotion stirring the northern people when he wrote that overall and saturating all that vast, vague wonder the nation's victory, the triumph of the union was filling the air. the thought, the sense with exhilaration. between two signal victories, it appeared the other worldly vision of president abraham lincoln's risky walking through the still burning southern and capital where he was greeted as a modern day savior by the hosannas of newly freed people with joy. as white virginians watched the end of their world from beyond, behind, shuttered windows. the president came ashore from the james river only a day after the insurgents have fled. abraham lincoln the most photographed and caricatured in american history. even here in the city that had so recently been the scene of the rebellion, his an unmistakable figure dressed in black, his gaunt six foot four f

suburban counties across massachusetts, connecticut, southern california, new jersey, pennsylvania, northern virginia. when it comes to new york city, other metro areas are creating housing at 2 to 4 times the rate that we are. boston's rate is almost double. washington d.c., triple. seattle, four times. so with less supply, demand drives up prices, and you get squeezed? middle income families, who could move up, low income families who can't even get the starter home anymore. that's why since becoming governor, housing has been front and center of my agenda. the budget that we have worked on together, we passed it. a five year 25 billion dollar plan to create and build 100,000 affordable homes. that is the single largest housing investment in our state's history. we are not billions for nycha, through the creation of the new york city public housing preservation trust. we created 25 million dollar eviction prevention legal services program to keep people in their homes. and making sure that vulnerable renters had the representation that they needed in court. we invested $539 million in the homeowner

they've engaged in -- like that's happened in a lot of northern virginia schools. they've engaged in racist practices to limit the number of students that come from what the school feels are racial groups that they shouldn't come from. that's the thing that people need to understand about these dei programs is how racist they are and racism is something the country has struggled with throughout its history. it's been a tool for elites to control other people. right now, a lot of these programs are ways for powerful people to retain control, but the american people don't like racism. they don't like hatred. they don't like what these programs are teaching about how to hate your own country, how to have animosity between different races. this is a deeply unamerican thing. it's deeply unpopular, but it is very powerful, and a lot of our elites cling to it. [laughter] and charley, this is even happening in medical schools as i referenced last night. a friend of mine in boston sent me an internal e-mail, i believe it it's from tufts university medical school about how t

it's interesting how he's trying to play both sides, trying to be the moderate businessman from northern virginiato parents concerns about their role in you know, education, but he's also trying to do the anti-work stuff, the crt music that he thinks can appeal to the republican base, so that's a tough bargain to manage. >> it's tough, meanwhile in the republican party, you have a battle, and it's actually a battle that joe biden set up and let me give everyone a chance to hear it. this is mitchell mcconnell talking about fellow senate republican rick scott. >> if we were to come to majority, there were no plans to raise taxes on people or sunset medicare or social security. so it's clearly the rick scott plan be it is not the republican plan. and that's the view of the speaker of the house as well. >> well, you don't need to fight with them if they're going to fight with themselves like that. >> recollection scott has been attacking mitch mcconnell you know, every day, the last several months and he's been doubling and tripling down on his plan, which literally no other republican is on televisi

since abraham lincoln road to ro the front lines outside of washington to watch battles in northern virginiaing the civil war no. sitting president has gotten that close to combat. didn't bush and obama fly into iraq and afghanistan during combat operations? i'm no military historian but those trips seemed kind of dangerous. i think biden himself disagree with the "new york times" because biden said he has been on helicopters in iraq that have been shot at. >> start telling the truth. number one, you take all the truths out, you better have helicopters ready to take those 3,000 civilians inside the green zone where i have been seven times and shot at. you better make sure you have protection for them or let them die. >> jesse: yeah. he has been shot at in the green zone. ukraine was nothing for joe. in biden's ukraine visit it's already taken on a life of its own. rachel maddow said biden charged up hamburger hill. >> it's a surprise and astonishing thing for us to see and for people in ukraine to see. i mean, at base level this an active war zone and a part of that country that gets hit by

that is, if you're in northern virginia and as i. kostis was had a high impact role in. building the grist and sawmill. well that's on columbia pike in arlington and this is an engraving from the civil war when the union troops marched right by it but it gives you a good idea of how large it was it was manned by enslaved persons and it was burned down during war. and it was later, john barcroft built a bigger mill on that same site site. but cassius was also active in the building of alexandria canal. he had to sell some of his land to the entrepreneurs for that and a private estate project called jackson city. which president andrew jackson was persuaded to lay the cornerstone. but it was really kind of a luxury home development on the potomac next to what today is the 14th street bridge. but it was it pretty much failed in the 1830s and forties and became kind of a high crime area in latter 19th century. cost us all. so he takes a famous trip. more on the monument building in 1845. got lots of coverage and newspapers all over the northeast where he up to bunker hill an

northern virginia the best public school in the nation, thomas jefferson, revised its admissions policywhich is based solely on merit, a merit test. they did it so they could admit more kids who wouldn't have otherwise gone in. everywhere you see this, it's a war on achievement. the same thing with doing away with the s.a.t.s and so forth. no one wants to see differences. i think the progressives, they've given up on the idea they can lift achievement for a lot of these kids. it is a cynical move. okay, you can't lift achievement for the kids not doing well. well, just pretend the other kids aren't achieving and cut them down to size. it is very cynical. >> bill: i saw the story out of culver city, california. they're doing it there. parents if they have a good student as a child, parents want those kids to be challenged. if you get away from the honors programs, bill, they lose that competitive edge that they would have normally. not right. last comment. >> i think you are right. especially for a poor kid, school performance is a way up the ladder. it is a great equalizer. now we're ba

a turkish crew that was also helped, waiting in the wings, by an american crew who were from northern virginiaounty, working under the direction of usaid. now, this went on for hours and hours. the interesting thing, one of the interesting things about this besides the incredible endurance that was shown by the mother and her daughter, was the fact that this was led not by rescue workers but by turkish coal miners. so, they treated this site as if it was a coal mine. we watched them splitting wood and using that in order to set up an entryway that would look like a traditional coal mine, almost out of a cartoon, and that is what they used to get inside. once they were inside, once they reach this family it was the americans who stepped up and started helping with medical advice, and medical equipment. saline solution, that kind of thing. it was a couple of hours before they finally got the mother out, the daughter was quite a bit more tricky. she had what we understood to be a massive chess wind. this was something that, of course, moving somebody like that is a very sensitive and delicate aff
