of the duke of richmond.they were politically estranged, but nonetheless part of the same family. time, some of the reformers who had worked with richmond decade earlier tried to recruit him back into their project, back into their work. society forlled the constitutional information and in 1792, they reprint his earlier reform pamphlet. in 1792, thomas payne publishes one of his most radical books, the rights of man part the second. this is a book in which he defends the france revolution. against edmund burke. as part of his offense of the france revolution, he blasts the duke of richmond in his footnotes. the duke of richmond, he says takes away as much for himself as would maintain 2000 poor and aged persons. referring to the duties he gets just by virtue of being an aristocrat, the right he has based on his land and concessions. he calls him a member of a band of parasites living in luxurious indolence out of public taxes. as he insults richmond, something he has never done previously in any of his writi

one of the advantages from a historian's point of view of st. elizabeth's being the federal hospital is because they're in the congressional record they're easily available so any researcher can go look at them and see kind of how the hospital was arguing for various things over time in terms of justifying the discharges of patients, they were under attack a lot for different treatments, terrible food, other kinds of repairs to the buildings that weren't happening. so you can really trace that over time throughout all of these investigations. the first superintendent, in fact, dr. nichols once wrote to dorothy, they had a long correspondence over the years, he wrote that he felt as though they were living over a volcano because there was so much happening both with the congressional investigations and then just also so many things that he had to do and worry about and constant change and worry about overcrowding and funding and all of that over time. there's two cemeteries at st. elizabeth's. on the west campus and the east campus. the west camp

this is a representation of one of those camp meetings during the first great awakening of the sort of mid-18th century. and we're going to be looking at that in a little bit. so where i want to go today is make some introductory remarks about the declaration and whether we have an american creed and whether it's found in the declaration. in the second section there, we'll look at some revolutionary characters and their views of religion and its influence on the american revolution. i'd rather hear from their mouths than read a secondary source or some historian's interpretation. and i want you to hear what they had to say. thirdly, we'll take a very quick tour of what i'm calling the age of awakening. and we'll look specifically at the first great awakening that preceded the revolution by several decades. in section 4 we'll look at what i'm calling the political theology of the revolution. and there we'll look back at the declaration. so we'll return to where we began and we'll look at a couple of sermons, political sermons of the revolutionary era and finally we'll sum up at the end.

of arendt's share of the world market. there is also a leap in production of gas and completion ofthe change -- the chain oil in the country. in social welfare and social security, strides have been taken, aimed at supporting the less privileged and low income parts of society by implementing the general insurance scheme. not all iranians are covered by health insurance. on the other hand, after the implementation of the health project, the share that the for their health has seen substantial reduction. also in terms of telecommunications, there have been big developments in such a way that people's access to high-speed internet and timely by means of -- it has increased more than 10 times .s much it has contributed to various .usinesses in terms of domestic policy, the 11th government embarked on devising the citizens' rights charter. it was announced, and the 12 government will continue the same power. it has the same vision. despite all these accomplishments in the past four decades, our country still faces some big cha

still, the sort of fluidity of this category indicates the existence of category c, forms of enhancement permissible in themselves, possible and yet in no real way post or transhuman. is there any principled way of identifying that boundary? are there any reasonable grounds many which to be weary of possibilities in that category? i think there's both. as for the first, my proposal -- which is rudimentary and in need of refinement, might be something like this: enhancements to aspects of our bodies including our brains that are instrumental to our pursuit of basic goods are, in themselves, permissible. if we consider a range of physical enhancements that might be possible, stronger, smarter or faster human beings, more fertile human beings, disease-resistant human being, all these are possible ways of enhancing the human that really would be conducive to the pursuit of general human goods. moreover, human beings might evolve in time naturally towards any or all of these states, and we'd have no real reason to mourn that situation. there are probably very gray areas here, and i'll mention

this is a representation of one of those camp meetings during the first great awakening of the sort of mid 17th, mid 18th century. we're going to be looking at that in a little bit. where i want to go today is make some introductory remarks about the declaration and whether we have an american creed whether it's found in the the declaration. we look at revolutionary characters and its influence on the american revolution. i would rather hear from their mouth than read a secondary source. i want you to hear what they had to say. third, we take a very quick tour of what i'm calling the age of awak awakening. look specifically at the first great awakening that preceded the revolution by several decades. in section 4 we'll look at what i'm calling the political theology of the american revolution, look back at a declaration, we'll look at political sermons of the revolutionary era and sum up at the end. so let's begin with some introductory remarks the english social critic gk chesterton once said america is the only nation in the world that is founded on a creed. that creed is set forth w

of france. you have the floor now, sir. >> mr. president, france welcomes the unanimous adoption whicholution 2371, strengthens the sanctions imposed by the united nations against north korea in the wake of the ballistic missile launch july last. we thank the united states for their leadership in the negotiations, as well as for their unwavering commitment on this dossier, which today more than ever, is of critical importance to international peace and security. north korea has for years now --n an accelerated pace building a new leader missile program, initiated at the highest level of the regime. it is methodically striving to acquire an operational nuclear arsenal at the cost of its own people. the launches in recent weeks were another milestone in the threat posed by the north korean program, by clearly demonstrating pyongyang's to bring the entire international community in the range of its missiles. an unacceptable situation, which threatens the security of us all. sir, we will not hesitat

leader of american forces had the unique honor of being the chief of staff of all the chinese.m china to -- flung from china to india where they were equipped with the most modern american weapons. trained and hardened to spearhead the coming drive against japan. through enemy-held territory and new burma, the new road was being pushed. over mountains. through jungles and swamps. from india to china, to connect with the old burma road. in the jungle on either side, american and chinese patrols controlled the road and strike at the jacks. planes were brought in. ♪ announcer: from india, and airport command airplane takes off every six minutes loaded with artillery, jeeps, ammunition. man and supplies for the armies of china. over this burma skyway. over these mountains 16,000 feet high, more tonnage is being flown into china than was ever tracked in over the old burma road. in the skies over china, japan faces new opposition. younger chinese, many of them trained in the fields of arizona, new mexico, california, fly and fight beside their american counterparts. the fighters and

we're going to -- it's sort of a continuation of the puritan theme of being a model for the rest of the world. that we can be a christian nation and demonstrate how a nation ought to function and even to the point of some suggesting, i remember a great 19th century historian by the name of george bancroft who, though not an evangelical by any stretch but kind of portrayed american history as this movement and progress towards democracy, the great end all of mankind was democracy and certainly there are a lot of excellent qualities to democracy but it was almost as if there was this divine appointment for america to head in this direction and i do think there is a consistency among some evangelicals through american history of this theme. now while i would critique it, there's a flip side to that because there is certainly a recognition, we ought to recognize that american is a western civilization, it is certainly predicated upon judeo-christian values. we can debate the notion of a christian nation all night, and we don't need to do it, but certainly we were a country that was at least

sort of a broader concept of due process. something that i think viewers should stay tuned for in the lockner case. so all of these arguments are made, but as i say ultimately campbell focuses and certainly justice miller focuses on the privileges and immunities clause. >> you have something you wanted to add. >> no, i was thinking about the privileges and immunities claim. suddenly they've got to go slaughter somewhere else. what that would be the model you -- >> i think that would certainly be consistent with the model, but i think the critical thing and this feeds into his clause at the time they were writing the slourgt house cases. the one thing they weren't arguing was this was only the black codes. it certainly wasn't something where this was being secured only to whites. i think justice miller, and this is not entirely consistent with the way the supreme court subsequently interprets the equal protection clause, but i think he has in made very much the purpose of the equal protection laws. and it was designed not just

a right of the commanders of armed vessels of one nation to visit and search the merchant vessels of another in time of peace. there are so many considerations of difficulty and delicacy minglinging with this subject that i would gladly keep aloof from it all together. but i apprehend the society which like all fanatical associations is intolerant will push an intrigue and worry till i should appear publicly among their opponents. their project of expri gating the united states from the free people of color by colonizing them in africa so far as it is sincere and honest on par of the project going to the north pole and traveling within the nutshell of the earth. there's actually a meme out on the internet that john quincy adams supported simms' project of an expedition to get to the poles by traveling through the center of the earth. because he recorded this conversation and he didn't -- he listened to him and didn't disapprove of it and people have taken that out of context. i love this passage because you have him thinking out loud. and one of the things that's so fascinating about

many of them. it's really something to be proud of, with the possible exception of england, i don't know of any nation in the world that has anything to compare with it. it's just wonderful what they do. and bringing you people together for an event like this is part of that, i think. thanks also to ralph peters. i'm going to rewrite my talk while i'm giving it, because he addressed so many interesting things. and i'm going to talk about grant and lee and leadership and what characterized them, but i'm going to give you some of the background of their lives. first, the sort of thing that informs the way people like these made decisions. grant and lee as people. i think you find some surprises when you learn something about them. first, did you know that u.s. s grant grew up in the wealthiest household in his county in ohio? grant was the son of rural western privilege. his house had books in it. his house had a piano. lee, as you've always heard, grew up in somewhat stranger circumstances, but mayb

of war. the other problem is, there is divided kmoond command and control in the confederate prison system. there's no one single person in charge of the confederate prison system at this point in the civil war. instead, there's divided command between two brig ago deer generals, neither of whom is actually entirely sure which are prisons they're responsible for and what their authority is and the extent of their authority. so there's a lot of confusion in the confederate bureaucracy at this point in the war and it really shows up when they face this crisis moment. so brigadier again e general john winder is in charge of the evacuation and he sends thousands of prisoners from andersonville to savannah without notifying the confederate military commander in savannah that prisoners are coming. he finds out when an aid runs up to him and seds a train just arrived with 6,000 pows. and he sends a tell gram to richmond and he says, you must have a strange conception of the force that i possess in t

, we've seen a lot of leaders kind of fall from power. the ethics rules are just an example of a mechanism put into place where you can use those against someone with the greatest authority pretty effectively. >> yes, in the back. microphone's coming. there you go. >> yeah, there's one word that julian -- i think it was julian -- used, that has not been picked up on, which was antiestablishment. and the other word that's not been mentioned at all is populist, probably for good reason. but i wonder how much that's at the center of this as well. carter, i think carter is the first presidential candidate to win by running against washington as an outsider a long time. obviously, we've seen this come now to some side that -- we've seen this epitomized now. but i wonder, julian, your argument that that's who gingrich is and that's the rhetoric he uses, is this notion of antiestablishment, which begins when he's a graduate student. i've actually read his dissertation. and you've explained how it is part of his life as a faculty member. this not

plates of images taken of the stars because this was the onset of the photography and they made tremendous breakthroughs in the study of astronomy so i'm looking forward to reading the book and hope you well when you look up this summer at the stars in the sky. >> booktv wants to know what you are reading. send your reading list on twitter or instead graham or post it to the facebook page facebook.com/booktv on c-span2 television for serious readers. >> you heard congresswoman mention the book the glass universe. this is about women of astronomers at harvard and here is dana hello and welcome. [applause] i just realized i don't know if we get a sound check. it's so good to see everyone here. i love doing book events because we've got to keep books alive. i want to thank the simons foundation for supporting all of our initiatives here when we do live in the present date for private events that are science themed or inspired and it's with their support we are able to do these. so a shout out to science. [applause] i want to mention before i introduce the guest of for the amateur astronomers

that is a lost factor of this war, of this act i should say, and of the holy ghost of reconstruct -- of the whole ethos of reconstruction. what are the origins of it? the immediate origins go back to the summer of 1965. the best-known international lawyer in the country in terms of someone who litigates international law, in june of 1865, delivers a speech in boston and says, when is the war over? it is not over. this is june of 1865, months after appomattox. we are in the attitude and status of war today. when is the war over? we hold the enemy in the grasp of war until we get from it what we fought for. that is the end of slavery. he goes on and says, they have to have voting rights. may be you should have emphasized more economic redistribution of land, all those sorts of things, but the thing he does talk about his voting rights. -- about is voting rights. the senator from illinois is the primary person and the senate who advocates the 13th amendment, pushing for the civil rights act. he is the clever one who sticks these preemptive war pieces into the legislation. you don't have

moved north of the border into the united states, many of them -- hundreds of thousands of them and their children settling in the south western united states, california, texas and elsewhere. we discussed their experiences, their trials and tribulations, what they lived there in the 1920s and the 1930s and the great depression. i mentioned a couple of times, and we'll be spending most of today discussing what happened to their children, those million-plus migrants who brought children with them in the '20s and '30s or had children who were born as american citizens and came of age in the 1930s and early 1940s and would become known as the mexican/american generation, who would become young adults living in the united states as the nation went to war during world war ii to defeat hitler, mussolini, the japanese and fascism around the world. this is what we will be talking about this week. i want to remind you a couple of the big questions that we have been tracing over the last several weeks, not the least of which is who and what is considered mexican/american or american more gene

both of which relate to his role as one of the pre-eminent lawyers of his time. here again the facts played an important role. it was his marshaling of facts, over 100 pages of them, in his path-breaking piece in muller versus oregon in 1908 that showed reformers how they could overcome the antipathy of conservative judges to progressive measures. ever since defenders of new ideas utilized the so-called brandeis brief to prove both the necessity as well as legitimacy for reform proposal also. he took no money for his legal work as a reformer and pioneer in making pro bono work an accepted part of an attorney's life. the other aspect of his reform work is also tied to facts. whenever brandeis agreed to work on a reform, the first thing he did was gather every bit of information he could. he did it, however, not just to document the wrong being done but to figure out a solution. brandeis never limited himself to saying that is bad. lots of other people could do that. just as he figured out solutions for his client's legal ambivalent problems he so he figured soluti

the destruction of cultural patrimony of hands of terrorists continues. for more than 800 years the mosque with its distinctive leaning minaret stood as a testament to the cultural heritage of the city of mosul and iraq. this week isis blew the mosque and is famous minaret destroying these ancient edifices in an instant. we strongly condemn the despicable act which only further proves that the terrorists had no respect for iraq's identity, culture and religion. the united states will continue to stand with iraqi people, the free people of syria and a partners around the world in our shared fight against isis until it is defeated. i'm happy to take any questions that you have. >> thank you very much. dr. daniels, you are recognized for five minutes. >> chairman pearce, ranking member perlmutter, and distinguished members, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to discuss criminal and terrorist groups use of the illicit antiquities trade. i study subject as a research associate at the smithsonian institution and i would like to highlight a

of judges to favor the will of the sovereign to that of the agent. basically, the master has to be preferred to the servant because legislatures are servants of the masters, who are we the people. that's why according to hamilton it is not undemocratic for courts to strike down unconstitutional laws when they set aside a law passed by the legislature that clashes with the constitution, they're favor the will of the people over the will of the legislators. a brilliant theory like so much of what hamilton did. now i want to introduce you to the pennsylvania delegation. hugely important and it also contains the most underappreciated framer and in some ways the greatest constitutional philosophy of the convention, and that is james wilson of pennsylvania. james wilson, age 45, born in scotland, lawyer and politician. would go on to serve on the supreme court. james wilson's central contribution to the constitutional convention was his theory of populous sovereignty. remember the preamble to the constitution, "we the people of the united states in order t

of the conscious and freem of the conscious of the people. it is always meant the government has no business in your church. but it has been only since our most recent misunderstanding, and i think that has a lot to do again, with the way the supreme court operates outside of history and application based on personal interpretation and politics. we have come to believe separation of church and state means god has no business in public discussion. that is actually if you look at that, it is a very radical form of belief because the standard has been separation of church and state says the government stays out of your religion and church. that was necessary to make sure people remain free and have liberty. because we don't understand separation of church and state thing, like i mentioned before, we have public schools and administrators who unconstitutionally, unlawfully, limit the speech and constitution. it is understood that our students do not check their right simply because they attend the government school. there is a student bill of rig

of gold. so he's making the most of it with those lovely twos. buts this was a very, very rich side of gold and a large quantity was drawn out of the mines there from 1829 into the late '70s and '80s. on the left, you can see the united states of america coin and the confederate bank also used georgia gold for minting, and just by living there, you have all seen an example of gold on the capitol dome, the dome is thinly coated with georgia gold. so the people who already lived in the area where the georgia gold rush took place were the cherokees, one of the native american societies. ever since the american revolution, the federal government had been trying very hard to integrate the native american nations into the united states, saying learn to become christians, learn literacy, learn to become farmers instead of hunters and gathers, become integrated into our society. certainly that was the policy of the confederacy, but it turns out that the cherokees are living on lands for which the whit

of the office of the executive. the president does not have the authority to raise or lower taxes. that is a power reserved to the house of representatives. the president cannot take care of our troops financially, he cannot expand troops, cannot withdraw troops, that is a power reserved to the legislative branch. what i realized is all of the promises presidents were making were responsive to questions asked by the people. will you do this for us? that is what the whole website thing is. yes, we will do this for you. i will do this, i am making this promise but if the people were better educated, better understanding of the proper role of the executive we would ask better questions that are in tune with the delegated authority of the president. in that vein i think presidents become who the people want them to be. >> host: your most recent book, "sovereign duty," you write, if you will explain this, the central government as a creation of the constitution, is not and cannot be a party to the constitution. let me sa

people hundreds of thousands of people being misplaced each of them is a ta each of them is a complete person with aspirations and dreams and and have been unsung talents that might be revealed later or not but every one of them is a complete person and we tend to forget that when we talk about big masses so actually reducing the prism and talking about one person and in the medium of theater which is the most intimate of all mediums to tell a story to recount a story because we and the audience share the same space the same air we breathe that means that the audience and the performer are both the same creature. earlier though i mean you you focus on one person the prime minister of britain says we should be celebrating the balfour declaration one hundred years since the signing of it this year twenty seventeen i think balfour declaration it took the right from the palestinians to to be a nation and to have their state and independence which was you know until today we suffer like we palestinians who are citizens in israel and palestinians in the west bank but as you know. in the arab

much of the west is the home of millions of people and it is now much of that is now owned as private property. and, even more of the west is still in public ownership. which is a pretty amazing thing that quotation from turner. turner didn't see it coming and didn't know that's what he was saying when he said the public domain is the key to nationalization and the growth of government. but i want do go back to this thing i was saying early on that what is happening here is that progress from first draft to second draft, from westward expansion to era is progress is changing the course and the adjustment, the earthquake of that, the rattling of assumptions and expectations, that rattling continues. so that that shift from the western expansion definition of progress transferring the public domain into private ownership going from that definition of progress to the progressive era one, maintaining that land in permanent ownership, that is a giant disoriented change. it is i think -- unmistakably almost a full reversal in the meaning of progress. it is not a full reversal because it has

tens of billions of dollars each year. it is committed by organized rings and by professionals such as medical providers and lawye lawyers, insurance agencies, by home contractors by body shops as well as everyday americans, friends, coworkers and neighbors. the schemes go beyond just inflating insurance claims. some of them can lead businesses and consumers in financial ruin and some can injure and even kill innocent consumers. our submitted statements include a conference of list of these scams and some of the ways that the fraud fighting community is looking to counter them. during the last 20 years property-casualty insurance have helped counter the growing threat by establishing investigation units within their company and investing heavily in training and in technology. on that last point, the sharing of claims data by the insurance companies has been essential in helping to detect fraud especially some of the schemes by the organized criminal enterprises that are defrauding billions of dollars. i'd also like to ment

and, of course, there's a -- there's kind of a plea at the center of these books for us to understand that had we can't just be wiping creatures off the face of the earth. what i like about the doctor doolittle analogy or -- connection is he's helped and aided by animals in ways that we are also aided by animals without our understanding how u we are connected to them quite conscienceness all of the time. yes i think it is a bit of a strength to look that way and it is a children's book and -- [laughter] >> all right. he is but you're so right actually. [laughter] another -- another of the early in the book concept i mean writing so accessible and charm hadding and easy to read but you have some real concepts that really make you sit down to think about them pretty hard. in one of them -- i have just been really pondering a lot is your -- your discussion is of how humans and how this moment in time or organisms adapted because natural selection and selecting genes over eon to bring the incomes generation forth. is perfectly well adapted to the path. but not to the present or to the fu

several of the men behind the attacks grew up in the small town of ripoll, north of barcelona.hildren of moroccan immigrants. among them younes abu—yaaqoub, now on the run, who, as we've heard, may have driven the van in the barcelona attack. our correspondent, wyre davies, has been to ripoll, to speak to people there about the extremists who lived among them. the small chocolate box mountain town of ripoll in the foothills of the spanish pyrenees, the last place you would expect as the breeding ground for a gang of radical islamist militants preparing to commit mayhem and murder. at least seven young men from this small town either died during the attacks or have been arrested since thursday. they include moussa oukabir, said aallaa and mohamed hychami. all three were killed by police in cambrils, on friday morning. also from ripoll is younes abouyaaqoub, who is still on the run. at this small mosque in ripoll, where the boys and young men sometimes prayed, but were by no means the devout, community leaders were almost speechless, distraught by what has happened. we did not re

and some of the biggest supporters of the union of the farm workers movement. to kind of dial this back to what we were talking about, at the beginning of the segment of the lecture. the farm worker movement we have talked about it tonight. but we haven't talked about it tonight. as i was trying to unpack what the story is before we talk about the plan of delano, as i said chavez mai dprated to california and joined the migrant circuit because of the depression. a lot of you know what the migrant circuit is. you follow the crops essentially. he became involved with the organization the cso community service organization. where he cut his teeth as a community organizers. it proved resistant to actually wanting to organize farm workers. so he left the cso in the early 1960s and formed a new organization called the national farm workers association. delores huerta she has her office in downtown bakersfield. probably the most prominent latino american living today. still doing great work. was a cofounder of the organization. it wasn't a union yet. they weren't quit

for the first part you never heard of any of them. they were leaving only a token presence and then they were told they were not permitted to travel around the country. that meant they sat in hotels and waited for a daily car bombs go bomb to go off, sent out the crew, got their footage, looked at on the we did on the evening news or 24 hour cable news and that became a story that we started seeing and we started seeing that as early as the summer of 2003. then it was a larger perception. of course the white house has an over reliance on the wmd issue as a justification for the war and it ultimately hurts our credibility with the press and the public from the start but you have to couple that with newsrooms full of executors that came from the vietnam era and the sad part of human nature, and i don't know if this is developed because the information systems and technology, but the sad part of human nature that is always going to be more interested in what went wrong and what went right and who died as opposed to lived and achieved and

hundreds of thousands of. it's all distilled in a sense in this in this one poet what is a better way to understand the catastrophe of many. except single izing one and really telling a story deep because in the refugee camps in lebanon the arab world where palestinians have been made refugees in forty eight each one of them is a complete person with a complete life and today with the syrian catastrophe looming and happening all around us and thousands of people hundreds of thousands of people being misplaced each of them is a ta each of them is a complete person with aspirations and dreams and and have been unsung talents that might be revealed later or not but every one of them is a complete person and we tend to forget that when we talk about big masses so actually reducing the prism and talking about one person and in the medium of theatre which is the most intimate of all mediums to tell a story to recount a story because we in the audience share the same space the same air we breathe that means that the

that's the logic of it. that's the basis of his plea. he goes into the missouri courts and sues for his freedom. if scott had entered this suit 10 or 15 years before, he would probably have been freed by the missouri courts. it was a good solid plea and had been recognized by the missouri courts in years before this wasn't years before. this was 1846 and a lot had changed. when scott appeals to the missouri supreme or the in november of 1852, the missouri supreme court strikes down his appeal on these grounds. times are not now as they were when the former decisions on this subject were made. since then, not only individuals, but states, have been possessed with a dark spirit in relation to slavery. there's gratification sought in the pursuit of measures whose inevitable consequences must be the overthrow and destruction of our government. under such circumstances. in other words, that was then. this is now. under such circumstances, it does not behoove the state of missouri to show the least countenance to any measure which might gratif

of one way out of this. mr. rainie: yeah, the big story that probably underlies the problems that we're talking about here is the collapse of trust in major industrial age institutions and it's across the board except for the u.s. military at the national scale, it involves the church, it involves the media, it involves businesses, it involves public schools and what has come to take its place in many people's minds is their own personal networks. so when they encounter information that they don't really know about they will consult their buddies to figure out whether it's true or false or whether to give it a lot of weight as they're trying to assess their lives or whether to give it a little weight and networked organizations and networked personal structures are the coin of the realm, in this age. so wikipedia is a perfect example of it, open source communities have worked out amazing protocols now where people can fact check each other and give each other positive feedback loops and come 41 together to s

after you read the several biographies of brandeis, of cordoza, frankfurter, even two or three of abe fortis, there had never been a book bringing it up to the president and this book actually goes through the 2016 election. so this is as i think was said before not only the first history of the jewish justices who have served in the past or who currently serve on the supreme court, but also a collective biography as it were of the jewish men and women who have served on the court. and that's been an abiding interest for many, many years and it finally -- i finally decided it was a choice between two things, i've also written about jews in baseball, which could be a future book, but i finally decided on the jewish justices instead. >> well, i will be very happy to come interview you about your forthcoming jews in baseball. >> that's a deal. >> jews in squash, jews in polo, whatever it is that you choose to -- >> and those are two areas i hadn't even thought about. probably the jews in squash will be a relatively small chapter i would guess. >> well, the ball is small but i think witho

if indeed those types of payments were reduced or cut, what would be the likelihood of the effect of that? >> i think it's a good question. it's been in the media lately. pa gave out information with regards to its budget. i was looking at the information this week in the context of the study to look at the proportion of the budget and what was happening in this context. the numbers are almost $200,000 in payments for martyr families. it would be the families of these children. it was a 9% increase from last year. i did not check the data with these names yet. i would like to do that but that would include paying the families of terrorists even if the terrorists attempted even if they did not succeed. as a parent of children and what influences children, i think children want to be able to be relevant. could influence a child that he knows if he commits a terrorist act that his family then gets paid money as a result of his heroic act, that's what he sees. i would imagine that could have a detrimental effect on a child. it's one of the things i was looking in the study. it's consiste

[speaking in native tongue] you are right, in 2014 when our people fled most of them went to. [inaudible] and most of them came back to the region but some of them still left and some of them. [speaking in native tongue] of course, you know that for me and everyone everyone needs he help. >> thank you for highlighting the fact that there are large populations in syria who have sought refuge outside the realm of the international system as well. knox, would you respond to the question about the american perspective of what is being done. >> we are taking action in a number of different fronts. the overarching question we all need to ask yourself is what drove the iraqis to support isis. there are issues of governance, respect for human rig

as some of you might remember, i am an alum of the university of colorado. and i hope some of you will go up the hill to the university up there, it is a really great school. i wonder if i can begin by asking you all a couple of questions and then i will tell you what i think. and i have to point out, that the people on either side of me partiesrts in political and in american politics. i am not. i am a career civil servant. and we can have our political isties, but we serve whoever the president and the party in power. so my colleagues are more knowledgeable, but so far they have not been as angry as i am. so after i hear from you, i am going to tell you what i think as a retired career civil servant of our great country. >> how many of you identified with the candidate in the last election? more than you expect? witches were -- some, because -- which is were orrisome. which political party in power determines everything from the content of your school lunch to whether your parks are well anderved in colorado whether there was a peace corps if you are inter

civil war flags of west virginia. of, theyat decade collected most of these flags. at the time, they did not know how to preserve them. in some cases, they used chemicals that were detrimental to the flags. most of these flags set in dark storage. they did not see light at all until we can figure out how to conserve them and how to repair them and how to put them in climate controlled cases. they had been restored as much as possible, even though they looked pretty ragged. for is left will be there many generations to come. inbe decided a flag and be the presence of that objects is to be in the presence of the past because this is a tangible, real connection people can have to the past. >> we now return live to coverage of the emerging civil virginia.ium in this is american history tv on c-span3. this next sessions guess is offer chris k. kolakowski. the session should get underway shortly. -- the next sessions guest is author chris kolakowski. >> >> if i could ask people to take their seats. before we get started, we talk about getting young people involved. how ma

i insane magnanimous feature of this expansionism evokes a lot of heavy responses of anger in terms of r resurgence of the knowledge of our colonization, and hasas this has been the prie we are paying because of our colonization by the u.s. government. amy: the difference between the u.s. bases in japan and on guam ,here you are is that guam whether you likeke it or not, ia part of ththe united statess although you do not get to vote for president. your political representation in washington and what kind of voice you have as a u.s. territory. >> as a u.s. territory, we have one elected delegate locally who is a representative in the u.s. congress in the house of representatives. however, she has very limited participation in terms of the voting process. is a tiebreaker it becomes no and void. -- null and void. it is an illusion of inclusion into the process of democracy. as much as there is that one bang it does not have much in terms of representing us and our interests. amy: you went to north korea, you crossed the demilitarized zone, is that right? can you explain the significance

a day of sunshine and showers across the north of the uk.umber of showers working across into northern ireland as well, with thunder storms up over the antrim hills. that‘s the lion‘s share of the activity today. we‘ve all seen decent spells of sunshine, the best of this across england and wales. 0vernight tonight, the showers that are still with us will continue to fade away. we‘ll have clear skies and light winds. a combination that will lead to some fairly low temperatures for an august night, not in the towns and cities. temperatures holding up into double figures. in rural scotland, we could get down to five degrees by the end of the night. looking at wednesday‘s weather charts, it‘s an east—west split. a ridge of high pressure to start in the east. an area of low pressure that will bring wet and yndy weather —— windy weather into the west. that gets into northern ireland quickly. scotland, england and wales having a decent morning with some sunshine. but you can see the rain will continue to make inroads by the afternoon. turning wet a

of courts and the improvements of legal education and of the legal profession. and then professor william henderson certainly and that of the circuit if there ever was one. after his legal education at the university of chicago became a clerk at the seventh circuit but happily has spent his recent career at the indiana university maurer school of law, and i say there's nobody he was done more intriguing work about the future of our profession than bill and becky. i'm going to begin with the words of setting the stage. there are many things about modern legal education that we as lawyers know a little about but not necessarily know about in detail, and they provide considerable foundation for evaluating the current state of law schools and, both now and in the future. now, you could actually describe recent developments by using just eight words. the eight words would be rising tuition, massive debt, fewer jobs, and fewer applicants. i will say a few words about each of those to begin laying the foundation for our conversation today. no mystery to anybody that tu

every day of the week, thousands of people come to view it. many of them bend down to economic the parchment, some trying to read the 18th century script. the copseitution is the foundation of our government and the standard to which the supreme court of the united states looks when it decides to cases that come before it. the many supreme court case files both appellate and original jurisdiction are preserved here at the national archives. as our opinions, docket books, minutes, attorney roles with our earliest records starting in 1790. we also have the audio recordings of the supreme court and digitized available online. we're working on a project to prepare all of these digital recordings for our online catalog and hope to have them available by september of this year. since its founding in 1934, the national archives has also hosted supreme court justices in person as well as in its records. and some of the justices we will discuss tonight have had close connections with this agency. in the 1950s, justice felix frankfurter served on the bo

off kilter in terms of being understanding any sort of reality and one of the best sort of examples of kind of mass mobilization finance you will protest took place in two thousand and three said the iraq war was a real sort of key feature of that period and so a massive wave of sort of public support for opposition to that seeking a conflict and it was one of the nicest plays influential so the energies from that period. is this image of tiny bat taking a selfie in front of the thing will feel by piece account and can't fit. to walk again it was produced very much in the midst of that kind of you know real sort of strong feeling against the iraq war and seeing the same case in against anything that so that's the one thing you can do with a photo montage of the so where you have separate images you bring them together and you create meaning for. you know by bringing them together and you have the. you have the horrors and the victims with the actual perpetrator so the one of which him originally was a public relations picture of the labor of marriage so that was a p.r. picture so we ju

of thousands of pounds.as this form of crime increases, there are concerns that thieves are becoming more sophisticated. and that is putting more pressure on farmers to remain one step ahead with their security measures. so now they are installing multiple cctv cameras, electronic gates and, in some cases, they are using dna markers on their sheep to protect them from rustlers. david is a dairy farmer who makes cheese. last year, equipment was stolen from his workshop. do you think farmers are doing enough to keep their farms safe? you shouldn't have to do so much, should you, but we are certainly doing more than we were before. i think we just need more police on the ground, really. and i know that is probably a tall order under the current climate. we can only protect ourselves to a certain extent. we have been broken into twice and we have had a horse trailer stolen during sunday lunch. you know, how can you protect yourself against that? ask any farmer and they will tell you life is tough. but the additi

inside the nucleus of each of our cells is our genome, billions of pieces of dna.the instruction manual for life. the scientists were targeting a faulty gene that causes a serious heart condition. they fertilised a healthy egg with sperm from a man carrying the faulty gene. they then injected the gene editing system. this scans the dna like a spell—check or a sat nav. it then cuts both strands of the dna and removes the faulty gene. a healthy copy of the gene from the egg was then naturally inserted. now here are some of the embryos from a study in the journal nature after being edited. 42 or 58 embryos were corrected. they were allowed to develop for five days. none was implanted. we are very excited about all the work... the research has been welcomed by a team in london who have a license to edit human embryos. they said the technology could eventually help many families. there are some nasty genetic diseases such as huntington's or as in this case, a disease that affects the heart function later in life. which can basically blight families for many generations.
