patrick henry manner, sir.n thinks more highly than i do of the patriot ism and the abilities of the very gentlemen who have just addressed this. but different men often see the same subject, different. and therefore, i hope, will not be disrespectful to these gentlemen, if entertaining, as i do of a character very opposite to theirs. i set forth my sentiments freely without reserve. oh is no time for ceremony. the question before the house is one of awful moment for this country. for my part, i consider it nothing less a question of freedom or slavery and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject, ought to be the freedom of the. for it is only in this way we can hope to arrive at the truth and to fulfill our great responsibility which we owe to god and to our. if i were to hold back my opinions at such time as this for fear of giving offense, i would consider it an act treason against my country and an act of disloyalty to the majesty of heaven, whom i revere above all earthly kings kings. mr. president. i

in fact in 1773 patrick henry himself wrote, who would believe that i am the master of slaves of my own purchase? i cannot, i will not condone it. and yet, mr. henry andhe many others lived with that contradiction and the benefit it afforded them. but in this moment in time as they came together here the most important question in their minds was how you address the aggression of england's ana parliament and that mistreatment we are receiving. if virginia is ready to step up and do what is necessary, we will find out that answer today. so, we are going to go back in time but i am going to assume the role of thomas jefferson and you are going to assume the role of the delegates from your counties. what that means is you are encouraged to vote on any resolutions or business that come before this body. if you hear something that you like, you could say hear! hear! or well said sir. we hope and expect that you will participate. now, i was told mr. henry is going to propose a resolution today that it's going to put in front of all of us a very difficult choice. a choice between our liberty a

patrick henry went on to become the first elected governor of an armed and independent virginia and now i'm going to introduce to you or allow them to introduce themselves, members of the convention but i ask you to please hold your applause until they are all done. thomas jefferson. >> president of your convention. >> benjamin harrison. >> richard lee. george washington, fairfax county and gentlemen who needs no introduction mr. patrick henrynd, ladies and gentlemen, delegates of the virginia convention,. >> author john talks about abraham lincoln as a peacemaker and the plans he had for post- civil war america. here's some of what he had to say. >> one question i often get, 16000 lincoln boat as you well know, why you, why now, why this? i found a quote from the general who led the occupation after second world war and he was the son of george and senator and the reporter asked him, will guide your decision and that successful occupation, the rarest? he said i tried to think what abraham lincoln would have done for the south if he lived. that quote was the seed the book came from. it

elizabeth is a recent grad of packard, patrick henry college and in leaving patrick and hearing she was actually awarded their history department's award for this particular project that she's been working on. and so she has spent a lot of time researching and she's going to tell you all about the adventure of writing a book tonight. but she's actually been at rockledge longer than i have. she started here when she was 12. and and has been a volunteer. and a staff member here at the ranch. and as we were chatting tonight and i asked her, well, what what do you want me to tell everyone about you and really what she wanted me to convey was that she loves history, that she loves rock ledge ranch, and she loves it so much that she calls the rockledge house where she works her house. and so her friends actually think some of them thought she actually lived there because it was her house. so with very much excitement, i introduce to you elizabeth borders. well, thank you all so much for being here and really excited to get to share with you everything that i've learned. i've been working in t

patrick henry was an anti-federalist and he hated the system. he had argued against it, campaigned against it but this is what he said. although the form of government into which my countrymen determine to place themselves at my enmity yet we are all and one embarked, it is natural to care for the crazy machine so long as we are out of sight of a port to refit. he was the loudest critic of the constitutional system. he wrote that, too, his protege and other anti-federal resists, james monroe, at the close of the first congress. so we're always out of sight of a port in american politics. we're always going forward, not quite knowing how it's going to work out except that the going is going to be kind of tough politically. and it's true the great machine of government that we've been bequeathed may seem crazy at times, maybe most times. it will never work perfectly but we canals make it better. and i think the former members, this wonderful organization i'm a great fan of, has an important role to play in the struggle to restore confidence in gov

because two of the great leaders opposing the constitution were patrick henry and george mason. they were up against people like madison and so forth. in new york it was ratified 30 to 27. the constitution we have today almost was not ratified. now, those who lost the vote did not go around and try to desdestroy the constitution or the men who supported the constitution. they decided to do what benjamin franklin said, administer, as well as they could. mason's objection to bill of rights had a lot of support, they came up with 17 amendments in house of representatives, they sent them to senate and widdled them down to 12, 12 were sent to states for ratification, and 10 were adopted, your bill of rights which was added to the constitution of the u.s., they wanted to govern and liberty, and these men wanted to protect their country from foreign enemies, they wanted commerce to work. for most part these were virtuous people. do we have virtuous people today? who are our great leaders in congress today? who are the great members of the house of representatives in congress today. con

a right well regulated militia in the coming out of ratification convention and virginia were patrick henry andd george mason are going toe to toe with the federalist and james mattis. because the draft constitution has put control of the militia under the federal government. and mason and henry were like we were left defenseless. is if there is a slave results will be left defenseless.e you know they detest slavery. that meant those folks from pennsylvania could not be counted upon sent the militia down to virginia if there was a slavery revolt. they wanted protection breadth and been very clear they wanted protection. i'm just like in the debate over the constitution they were willing to play a game of hardball. we were kids we used to call playing a game of chicken who was going to dodge, who is going to blink apart who thought their life is more important that whatever that thing was out there. they were willing to play a game of chicken with the united states of america and o the constitution in order to get the militia protection that they wanted. that well-regulated militia to quell

so like young george washington over here, thomas jefferson patrick henry is kind of leading figures are prominent in in these land speculators they're to petition the british government through the virginia assembly, the house of burgesses and try to rectify the situation continually failed the continually reject their claims to issue them titles to this property and this really embittered them. the empire. now the reading you did for today points to or details their efforts to open these western to settlement and the responses of imperial officials, culminating in the quebec act and the definitive british rejection of these please and just shutting off of this land to any official recognition which we'll come back to a bit later in the lecture. so sum up the situation with the proclamation line. you had a few tensions created by this policy, right? so you have a general expectation among all american colonies after the end of the seven years war that the land the british gains through the treaty of paris is going to be open for settlement and expand ten of these colonies, but know

by chad and bret earlier, leader mccarthy struggled with this with his whip team come up with patrick henryand todd helmer and the fact that they were so confident this afternoo that he had locked that going into that 14th vote, to be surprised and shocked on that floor, then you had that motion around adjournment. and the cattle call that went forward and then the coming hours and days, we will see jus what now speaker mccarthy gave up to get that 216 vote. people see what is said that rules package. as chat pension, the republican from texas has said that he is not on board with that rules package. they're going to have a fight o their hands and that is the whole house beer that is not just republicans in power. we proceed for kind of negotiations go on and that is where the money hits the road right there in terms of the rules. that sets all the committees an motion and the number of member on this committees from both parties. and just to point out, jason chave it's, you see on the righ side of the screen that there i members of congress with their children and there. i know what this 1

patrick henry is saying we're having talks about spending.think there are real questions about what promises were being made about the debt ceiling, and austerity and things like that. there's also these committee seats, which is not quite procedural, right? because procedural is broadly appealed. if you say you've got to be -- that just -- you just made it to get those people there, that's a hard thing to square with the rest of your caucus, although at this point my question to you as it seems doesn't seem like anybody else this rebellion against whatever he's given away in these talks, in the caucus. >> because they're still actively check in with moderate members of the process of going towards the freedom caucus -- what one person described to us this to me has is by putting freedom caucus on approach, and on rules, it makes it so their spread throughout the committees. that's at least other trying to sell this within the conference that law which. there are serious impacts of that, though, and you bring up the idea of spending. some of

his baptized name was patrick henry mccarthy, but he's better known as billy the kid. and so maybe in the legends racket, it's good to have a catchy nickname and not be named something bland like bill tillman. but i'll give you another case. there was a fellow who was a civil war hero and who rose rapidly at a very young age to the rank of general. and after the war, he stayed in the army, except at a reduced rank, and begged the war department to send him west to fight indians. and they even wrote a book about his experiences. he kind of got it. he eventually got his way and was sent west, and he was kind of a hard -- when it came to driving his men. he didn't treat them very well and he pushed them hard and he eventually led them into a trap where they were heavily outnumbered. he was he was wounded in the head. he had a broken leg. and he held out with this men for more than a week eating rotting horse flesh before they were rescued. now, until i got to that last sentence, it sounded like george armstrong custer. but it wasn't. it was a guy named george foresight. t

. >> brian: harold, there's a report out that he dispatched patrick henry, garrett graves, fitzpatrickspeak to some of the 19-20 holdouts. no progress was made, but they did meet for several hours. so how is this game playing out in your mind from the democratic perspective? >> first off, good morning, and happy new year again. i'm a democrat, not one necessarily taking any delight in this. i wish my party had won a majority. this is a process i went through when i was in congress. i never had a chance to vote for speaker, republicans were in charge when i was in office. i think some of the 20 republicans, congressional republicans, voting against mccarthy, they have to understand that the pettiness and personal grievance has to be subordinated to the professionalism and exercising of power in a responsible way. we don't live in an autocracy, we live in a constitutional republic. which means, in that body, if you're not part of the majority or you can't figure out a way to get to the majority, you don't just take your ball and go home. i think allies and adversaries alike are probably

maybe steve scalise is the most likely, maybe patrick henry for north carolina, maybe there's someone else that fits that bill, but at this point all bets are off, because lou pointed, out we are in the middle of a very chaotic situation, so it's impossible to predict. >> chaotic situations always take us back to one place, donald trump. he was supposed to be the key here, read, and kevin mccarthy has been bending over backwards, for kissing the ring of says donald trump entered the scene, especially since january 6th. what does it say about the power of trump, but even with his endorsement, bobcats, couldn't deliver anything. >> it matters that trump has been silent on, this it is not encouraged matt gates, but these folks are not the kind to keep any secrets. and donald trump is a leak is politician the history of the united states, so a fuse i whip-ing votes on mccarthy's behalf, you know about what donald trump is most interested in is himself. if he thinks that mccarthy's loser, he's gonna take the loss, and blamed for. it has exaggerated in november, that's exactly what he's gon

if you ask patrick henry what was being discussed, it shows i was pointing to where mccarthy sat say, mccarthy, tough let me know he's alone here, and there aren't 10, 15 republicans that are going scuttle this deal. mccarthy gave me that assurance, and now i think we're a strong team looking forward to the work ahead. >> we'll show the footage. make sure we understand we're talk about the same thing. it was that floor footage we saw. you guys talking there. that was the entirety of the exchange, about what you just told us? >> yeah, that was the principle -- i don't have a transcript for you, but what was at issue was whether or not tony gonzalez represented just himself or a larger group of moderates who would secure the sponsorship for mccarthy but not put into place the rules that would allow the one-person motion to vacate. that's what "the new york times" gets wrong. they get a lot of things wrong, but that's the principle thing. we weren't there for the sake of theater. we were there for the sake of ensuring the rules we heavily negotiated -- i got to give a lot of credit to my

so the governor of virginia is a good example is was patrick henry and said recruitment is flagged being among our troops and they're afraid of of we're having trouble raising our enlistments and washington thunders back. this is after his announcement of inoculation and says may not that problem be solved through the more general use of inoculation let's make sure the troops know that we're providing it that it's out there that'll solve our recruitment worries. now washington has recruitment issues throughout the war, but that particular fear no longer becomes becomes a problem. soldiers are eager to get inoculated. i think that's one of the surprising things that people find in in the book. it's a harrowing procedure. it makes you sick for a month, but then it's a lifetime of immune afterwards and the soldiers otherwise are coming from poor communities, immigrants, people that wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity to do it. and they do it. their wives, their children are are eager for them to do it. and are and are jealous often that their husbands and fathers have had it done. they

today how he accepted his moment, but there's no effort among people who you would think the patrick met henry's or the steve scalise's, polak this as potential leadership material, you don't see them plotting to make a move. or if they do, they're being so delicate and plotting about it, hoping that kevin can fall first. i think the reason for that is it's not a job worth having, at least in the next couple of years. >> and to jonathan's point at the start, this clearly isn't the end of a fight, it's a beginning of a fight, and mccarthy does get through. all these ambitious folks who are one wrong or two or three wrongs down in leadership, they know as well as the rest of us, everybody talking around town, that the person who winds up a speaker on the first day of this congress does not necessarily have the best odds of being the speaker on the last day of this congress. and that's sure than ever with the concessions mccarthy's made tonight. >> i guess in d.c. eve got the donkey, the elephant in the scapegoat. there you go. well, there's another potential wrinkle in all of this, everyone the sp

that is something i think patrick may henry's going to look into.here are two main suspicious ractivity reports filed were there so many bank examiners do not have time to go through it all. i will say this, if it's no big deal the moment they let us have access to them? because i can tell you i would find it very surprising i'm bank would file a suspicious activity report from the son of the sitting vice president of the united states unless they are pretty certain there have been some type of major violation committed. >> sure i can certainlyly understand how you felt the premature in us of trying not to imply just because we don't know something. >> i have a few that i did not get from this administration. we've seen enough to know there's a problem there. the press conference in november reposted one on sheet we gave out to the media but if you didn't get it we will get it to you. >> what is the timeline? dwe are talking almost a little bit about two separate investigations here but one with the hunter bided. plus it's really what investigations

>> chairman patrick mc henry laid out policies that i agree with.ery happy to began financial services committee, beneficial to the commonwealth of pennsylvania as well as my district. i'm also on the small business committee so i care about access to capital for small businesses, small businesses have only 19% of them say they have adequate access to capital. i'm focused on the unfair mandates. perhaps illegal mandates that are being put on financial institutions, small banks large and small, carbon emission mandates for investment, where there is no place for that, we are not basing it on outcomes of investments but ideology so that is wrong and outside the charter of such banking and investing. patrick mc henry is one of the most talented people in this house. i will be working under him to do a number of things, capital formation, data privacy as well as a few other priorities he has set and i'm looking forward to it. oversight as well as the transactions that have taken place in china, to the cartels, terrorist organizations, this monetary poli

was, we do not want in virginia patrick finley and george are going to tell with analysts and james madison will militia under the federal government.and mason and henry were like, we will be left if there is a slave revolt we will be left defenseless and you know that the north has slavery because that meant those mania not be counted upon to both defend the militias down to virginia if there was a slave hold and they wanted protection. they had been very clear that they wanted protection. and just like in the debate over the constitution, they were willing to play a game of hardball. when we were kids we used to call playing a game of chicken. where you could see who was going to die and was going to blink, who thought their life was more important and so they were willing to play a game of chicken with the united states of america and the constitution. in order to get the militia protection that they wanted. so that well-regulated militia was about having a force powerful enough to quell a slave revolt. >> to bring things up to the current day a little bit , when we were having the commemoration of the lack of wall street massacre of 1921, there we

henry from our cbs station, un c wcco talks to us. >> the unthinkable question, could what happened to damar damar happen to their child? mike schoonover's 14-year-old son patrickckey game in 2014. >> he actually scored the game's first goal and a few moments later he was carrying the puck, got checked and suffered sund cardiac arrest on the ice and passed away is that his family wanted to make sure no other children suffered the same fate. patrick had undetected heart defect so they starred a foundation which offers heart screenings to young people. bailey mccuddins' scrieng in 2017 may have saved her life. >> she texted me and said my sheet says abnormal on the top. my sheet looks different the reason than the girl next to me. >> play for patrick, we're really grateful because we could have never known and something bad could have happened. >> reporter: they screened thousands of kids finding more than 260 with electrical or structural heart defects. >> when we find one, we've done our job but we're finding many. today's screen, we've had two significant finds of heart defects. >> reporter: more families grateful from the bottom of their hearts. >> o'donnell:

henry, you for coming along today. and joining me. and liam, thank you for coming in as well. that's the briefing for this friday. i'll back next friday at 2 pm. and up next patrickck christys. hello. i'm and this is your latest weather update. cold weather on the way we go through this weekend feels pretty cold there today with a gusty . but there today with a gusty. but they'll be easing in many places seeing a bit of sunshine today, but low pressure is still nearby . weather systems waiting to head out . way one low is head out. way one low is clearing away . this weather clearing away. this weather front is just dangling down across south of scotland , across south of scotland, england bringing quite a few showers in here. showers across northern, too. but elsewhere , northern, too. but elsewhere, places not seeing any showers dry and bright and with a bit of sunshine to boot , the winds sunshine to boot, the winds steadily easing through the day . well, but making it feel cold certainly temperatures around average or a touch above 7 to 8 degrees, generally ten or 11 across the south, or colder , i across the south, or colder, i said is on the way through the

others who knew the issues and we think of daniel patrick moynihan of new york and on the right you had all kinds of -- on the democrats side, also, henryoop" jackson and they put the country first before everything else. if you look at the spending bill which i guarantee you most if not all members of congress have not read and many voted for it in absence yeah thanks to nancy pelosi's program of you don't have to be there in order to vote which is terrible, you have millions for woke causes, lbgtq+, centers in new york and money wasted on all sorts of things that are not part of the federal government. so i think we can start there in those things. you know, barbara bush, the late first lady had one of the great lines of all time about this and she said, it matters less what happens in the white house than what happens in your house. i think we need universal school choice especially for poor children and need to attack this crime issue which is lavishing our nation's cities and last night in new york a man was attacked with a hatchet and they think it's a terrorist incident and every night people are getting shot or stabbed and homel
