mayor of philadelphia in the new republic. he also had his hand in a number of different organizations in philadelphia. he was a member of the library company in philadelphia the american philosophical society the hand in hand fire company and the society for promoting agriculture, which if you're well familiar with washington, you can imagine that was a horse an interesting topic between the two of them. sam will talk about later. samuel powell also served as the pennsylvania in the pennsylvania state senate as well as the speaker and so he was just he was a really well politically connected individual in philadelphia and i'll turn it back over to sand to talk a little bit about elizabeth. sure, so i'm happy to talk about elizabeth. this is actually i want to briefly mention this this is a new portrait that we've recently acquired. thanks to an anonymous donor of elizabeth willing powell from circa 1793. so this was kind of at the height of her social scene, which caleb will talk about more of how the powell's had a just thei

were quartered in philadelphia. she they would go to assemblies. she would go fishing. she and her sisters, the three of them were called the three goddesses. i would like to think they were very much the skylar sisters of philadelphia just a few years earlier. elizabeth of course married samuel on august 7th, 1769. they purchased a house on third street, which i know kayla will tell us more about. >> that is where i am today actually. this is the powel on 422 south third street in philadelphia. please come visit us, we are open for terrorist currently thursday to thundering. 11 to 3 pm. starts on the hour. we would love to see you there. sam if you can get away or if you around the philadelphia area it is great to have the tours. they are happening right now during the current circumstances with covid. this is the powel house this is where sam and elizabeth moved into. it was originally bill in 1768 by charles steadman. he was also a merchant. unfortunately he went bankrupt and shortly thereafter samuel purchase a

that is philadelphia. it's tough, because anyone listening to this from the franklin institute or a philadelphian would say no, the franklin institute is better use of the money. i have to say though, visiting what is now called the benjamin franklin institute of technology in boston to me best invokes franklin's spirit, not just because when you walk in the doors of the historic building there are murals along the top of the ceiling of the lobby showing scenes from franklin's life with great reglan -- franklin quotes. you walk through that school and you see young people learning trades, they are not sitting at their desk passively, they are working at 3d printers, they are welding, wrenching. the president at the school, i visited several times, he said to me the principles of learning the trade in franklin's time and our time have not changed that much. you are trying to solve a problem to help a customer, more efficient to make something work better. people keep asking me, we have the industrial resolu

>> philadelphia is unable to make its own gun policy.have to go through harrisburg and some of our tems have been blocked. there is a huge block in legal gun ownership during the pandemic. there were also increased reports of stolen firearms. i think any young person will tell you in certain neighborhoods it is very easy to get a firearm. combined with the systemic issues and frustration and hopelessness, lack of a better path, it is very easy for arguments to escalate to gunfire in certain parts of the city because so many people are armed. >> it seems so often fall to organizations to pick up the slack. do you feel grassroots organizations and individuals like yourself have enough support to get it done? >> a great question. i would say no. i believe government is allotting money to organizations and trying to provide on a financial level. at the same time, there is a failure as a collective from the community. while philadelphia's call to a progressive city, we see a lot of progressive whites and others move into philadelphia talk abo

she grew up in a suburb of philadelphia. her father and grandfathers were math teachers and astronomy teachers. she went to the university of pennsylvania. she was really disappointed. the classes were not coed, it was a big deal. she loved mathematics. she had an old professor who opened with every class saying women should be home raising children. she found out he was the only professor and became -- she studied journalism, history and english. susan: marilyn joined the group. kathy: she was already at the university of pennsylvania. she did not major in mathematics. when she was getting close to graduating, the dean of the school said if you were jewish, should not bother to apply. she thought, what do i do? she went over and helped army radar projects at the university of pennsylvania, she was using the adding machine and when that project closed up, he said you should apply to this group of computers down the hall and i think you will get a job. susan: two more. both joined later. ruth. kathy: she is also a math major,

a philadelphia rapper who has sold millions of albums. in november 2017, he was thrown in prison for probation violations. but the free meek mill movement gave hope to many that justice is on the way. >> in 25 years in working in criminal justice reform, i can't remember a moment that has the potential to galvanize the public the way meek mill's horrible situation has done and is going to do. >> we're with meek mill as our cameras go behind the scenes to capture his journey to freedom. >> this is so crazy. >> how easy it is to get in the system is probably 100 times harder to get out, even if you're innocent. >> dreams and nightmare sthz titles of meek mill's hit debut album. his lyrics tell the story of an inner city native who made it, overcoming violence--. >> it's been a long time since i heard something that naturally charged. the song is pure adrenalin. kind of mad we didn't have that for ourselves. >> like meek mill, quest love and black thought of the roots are from philadelphia. >> i think his style was uniquely philadelphian. bu

a philadelphia baker. being able to tell his story, some of that would work with james later in his life. someone where cyrus's daughter would have worked with and new james forten as well. and that particular costume, there is a nice little apron that goes with it and it's just something rich about being in costume and there is nothing that you can transfer and to change someone's concept of what's a person, especially people of african descent, with that looks like. there are sort of limited thoughts of, based on a person standing, if he was on slavery, of what their work was like. these individuals contributed in so many ways, from their skill set, trade craft, their contributions interesting gauge met with their community. so, all of that can be encompassed by just being in costume and just giving life and image to something that is not something that is given a visual very often. >> it is interesting, this idea of community. because in our historical percentage, we would have all known each other. i p

it really is a steward and a pillar of the philadelphia a black philadelphia community. and i'm glad that you mentioned before for fortin women because that was i mean even into the era even into the far 19th century where we have charlotte horton his granddaughter. so a lot of a lot of important people who did amazing things. so going forward. there's what else are we hoping to discover about james fortin about black revolutionary war soldiers about how what else do we looking to discover and how will that be brought to life here at the museum? um going forward we are working diligently on an upcoming something that we're working on an exhibition on the fortin family it it's just kind it's just amazing how much i've been scaffold in the past few years since i've been here from discovery cards from fortin's work in the galleries to virtual programming. you know gives insight to fortin story. there's just so much to build upon and i'm very excited to incorporate nathan's work. we have other pieces to this play as well that you know, we'll see life one day. so it's just it

n >> you're mentioning philadelphia, and one of the questions was, why is philadelphia, in your view, such an intellectual center of the late 18th century? with paine, priestly, ben franklin, et cetera. any thoughts on that? >> i, mean it's hard to attribute a reason to that but i certainly agree with the premise of the question that it is those things. just very quickly, folks, back in the 16 hundreds, boston's the largest town or city in america, which is to say not very large at all. for most of the 1700s, philadelphia will be the largest town or city in america and in most of the 1800s and afterwards it would be new york. so, the 18th century, the revolutionary era it's philadelphia's century. the simple fact that scale, that is the largest place, a magnet for money and people, also means that the magnet for ideas and dissent and conversation. of course, it's quaker heritage, founded as a place of religious toleration, where people of different faiths can live side by side, you think would extend intellectual diversity as well. right? that would be a crucible of new ideas if peopl

her activism has tied together the housing crisis in philadelphia and in the taking of children in philadelphia. housing and security being the main reasons why children are taken and put housing and to foster care. she said no, you can't come in. what do they do, they bring a police officer with them. next time. she refuses. they go to court and get a trial judge to order her to let them in her house. this all the way up until the supreme court of pennsylvania. largely because of her work. i was told that she drafted and everything. by the way i will give the a shout out to the community legal services. the acu of pennsylvania who drafted pointed out the racism in this system. the pennsylvania supreme court held that it violated her fourth amendment right to insist on entering her home without probable cause. there was no probable cause. this was based on a anonymous tip, which often happens, mostly it is reporters who reports . anonymous tips can trigger an investigation. anybody could call and make something up. that should not be in reason why government agents should come search her home.

he booked passage to philadelphia.. turning his back on the country, england, that had brought him nothing but despair and disappointment. paine's health deteriorates so much on that long voyage across the ocean, but he staggered off the ship half dead, and he didn't know a soul. when his health finally returned, fully six weeks later, tom paine set about reinventing himself. he added an e to the end of his last name, a signal to himself as much as anyone else that he wanted to start fresh. he began contributing a few columns to a local newspaper, and within a few months he was able to use that brief experience as well as that cursory letter of introduction from ben franklin, philly's favorite son, to get himself a job in philadelphia editing a new gentlemen's magazine there for 50 pounds a year. and it was, i think -- [inaudible] and contributor to this magazine, this pennsylvania magazine that tom paine would hone the skills that he would later use to write "common sense." think about it. editing a gentlemen's magazin

this is the philadelphia mutiny. june 201783 weeks later a group of several hundred unpaid disgruntled veterans march on philadelphia to where we know today as constitution hall. some of our nation's elected officials are inside the building. they are surrounded by angry unpaid mutineers. our citizens of philadelphia come pouring out of the tavern's night have the unruly and angry soldiers who are ready to take legislators hostage. congress is worried the pennsylvania assembly is worried that they had to flee for their lies but they asked george washington to put down this mutiny. washington tells the mutineers to go home. just go home. he pardons people and for a second time brilliantly handles a near mutiny. by this time washington realizes this new experiment is going to be very difficult. washington starts to put together a vision a dream if he will throw her kind of nation we need to have. the war ends in 1783 and pretty much the question is now what? what happens next? we are in a political civic and economic b

here in philadelphia, the a.t.f.cbs station that individuals are selling off inventory now making it harder for law enforcement th trace those firearms. norah. >> o'donnell: all right, elaine quijano, thank you. overseas to afghanistan now, where a large explosion rocked a kabul mosque, killing at least 10 people, including a prominent imam. there was no immediate claim of responsibility. one year since the taliban takeover, there's growing instability and a humanitarian crisis with an estimated 25 million living in poverty. cbs' imtiaz tyab reports tonight from kabul. we want to warn you that some of the images of children you're going to see are disturbing. ( babies crying ) >> reporter: afghanistan is starving, and these babies are among the most malnourished. ( babies crying ) at kabul's main children's hospital, infants receive specialized treatment. ( babies crying ) this mother tells us her four- month-old son weighs just 6.5 nourished children die he e,"- ( babies crying ) your son is so small, so frail. you

was philadelphia. so the supreme court met in philadelphia for those for nine of the 10 years. they met in new york the first year and wilson was always present when things happened and when things needed to be done in the capital or to take someone's place and he was very very good about doing circa duty for other people when he could towards the end of his life when his debtors started to chase him. the second, you know past 1795 1796. he couldn't do it. he had to leave philadelphia. and go down south. so that his creditors couldn't reach him. and he ended up. well, he had been in jail in new jersey and his son sprang on loose. is the only justice i know of who had ever been in jail. but it was a very very sad story. and he ended up in north carolina with a relatively new wife. his first wife died and i think 1786. and james wilson went on circuit in boston at this young lady james wilson was. 50 something years old and this young lady was 19. and he married her and she did look after him for the res

like philadelphia.eporting for a local station there, fox 29. >> crime has been exploding and the police numbers here, getting worse. a police source says that there have been 757 carjacking citywide. there were roughly 850 carjackings in all of 2021 and the latest police statistics show the majority are more than 500 happened at gunpoint and happened as the victims were at their parked car. >> so why is this happening? well, it is happening for a very deep reason, any 15 or 17-year-old that threatens a life to steal a car is the product of something that is very hard to fix. but society and the authorities still have an obligation to try to stop it for the sake of the rest of us. so what are these cities doing to stop it? well, philadelphia and at risk youth, there is something called the philadelphia partnership. so after a month of violin lessons, the young criminals, people who have been busted too many times get their records expunged and that was the plan that the philadelphia d.a. put into place

larry krasner is philadelphia's district attorney. what do you think is behind this spike in violence? >> it's a pretty terrible national phenomenon. this is the most heavily armed industrial society in the world. no matter how many guns you take off the street, there are more and more guns. so let's not kid ourselves. >> reporter: meanwhile, the nypd's specialized anti-gun unit announced a crackdown on illegal guns, seizing 46 guns over the last three days. police were joined by jackie roe adams, a mother who lost two sons to gun violence. >> you are killing each other. the police is not killing us. we killing us. >>> next week, new federal rules go into effect that will regulate unserialized parts used to create ghost guns. here in philadelphia, the atf agent in charge told our cbs station that individuals are selling off inventory now, making it harder for law enforcement to trace those firearms. norah? >> all right, elaine quijano, thank you. >>> overseas to afghanistan now, where a large explosion rocked a kabul mosque, killing a

it was like that was all these unexpected votes that came out in philadelphia. so you you know i think oncu actually look at the votes, there's an obvious explanation. for example, in pennsylvania trump ran weaker than the republican ticket generally. he ran weaker than two of the state candidates. he ran weaker than the congressional delegation, running for federal congress, and he ran weaker than the republican, i think i haven't looked at this recently but he generally was a weak element on the republican ticket. so that does not suggest that the election was stolen by fraud. >> how about pennsylvania and philadelphia about alleged discrepancy between number of absentee ballots issued in the number of ballots -- >> right. that was one of the big ones for a period of time. i think that was raised in gettysburg by giuliani or something like that but he kept on being repeated. i found it annoying because i didn't see that it was right so i called nick swain and he got back to me and said no, the problem is that giuliani threw out, throughout this time and what h

i think he is from philadelphia. some of this, i will not say full assumptions, but i am following clues. i spent probably way too much time trying to find this guy in the records. not always the easiest person to find, but, from what i could understand. first of all, by reading his journal is that he kept talking about his typographical brethren. hey talked about printing offices, hey talked about newspapers. he was holding newspapers and books in his knapsack's. in fact, when you look at that journal over there they have it on the page. he is talking about what he lost when he threw his knapsack when he was running before those british highlander's to get away at brandy wine. and then, part of, it when you look and there he is talking about the papers, the quills, the books, and all the things he had in his knapsack's. we've got this point that he was affiliated with the printing at some point. went a little further and actually found a runaway ad for an apprentice that ran away from david zeller's printing shop he

so we're sitting here in philadelphia here in 2021. in the philadelphia that he was living in in 1776 that he marched through on the way to yorktown if you will as well. actually he sailed through it in 1781 and the like but we're part of that imagine community. we're part of an imagined community right now is we're all finally getting to see each other, but then there are those of them who are over there over zoom. so i say hi to you you're part of this imagine community. we're all together to look at this particular history, but the other part that benedict anderson had mentioned in his is that when we form these communities he talked about journeys or pilgrimages between times and statuses and places. so again, we're part of that journey. but these are meaning creating experiences that create the experience of the imagine community. and so i'd like us to consider too that when we look at the continental army as it is marching through the united states the new united states they are creating this community and it's not all imagined.

our story goes -- it begins in philadelphia. i had completed law school at the university of pennsylvania and was clerking for a superior court judge in pennsylvania. fred was in his fourth year of medical school in philadelphia and doing a six week rotation at the hospital. each student had to give a presentation on a particular topic. fred asked if he could make a presentation with me on the legal and ethical issues. his proposal to boston. we made the presentation. the chair of surgery said this was one of the best presentations we have had pluck and lock. the positive experience lit a spark and we decided to pursue the idea of legal we developed a paper describing a variety of medical legal issues like -- informed consent from euthanasia and definition of death. i called one of my favorite law professors and a real mentor of mine who argued cases before the supreme court, and i asked if we could meet with him about our idea. he said sure, let's have dinner. a week later, we were having dinner. we had two questions. did this

veterans marched on philadelphia to the building we know today as constitution hall. the pennsylvania assembly and some of our nation's elected officials are inside the building. it is surrounded by angry, unpaid mutineers. citizens of philadelphia come pouring out of taverns drunk and now you have a drunken unruly mob and angry unpaid soldiers. there are ready to take legislators hostage. congress is worried and the pennsylvania assembly is worried they have to flee for their lives. they asked george washington to put down this mutiny. washington tells the mutineers go home. just go home. he pardonspeople and for a second time he brilliantly handles on your mutiny . by this time washington realizes this new experiment in popular government is going to be very difficult to run. next slide. washington starts to put together a vision, a dream if you will or what kind of nation we need to have. so the war ends at fault in 1783 and pretty much the question is now what? what happens next? we had a political and economic and civil vacuum. the loyalists, the royalists, those

to philadelphia. caller: i would like to say, the gentleman that was just on and he mentioned that policing is becoming a nonexisting job, he is right. it is starting right at the top from the white house with all of this mess with the trump stuff. anybody in their right mind know right from wrong and can see what is going on. that from the white house is trickling down two the whole nation. host: republican line. caller: i would like my comments to be focused at the democrats themselves. the democrats keep talking about trying to protect democracy. if you look in the two most important documents we have come of bill of rights and the constitution, democracy is not in any way in the constitution or the bill of rights. the democrats suffer from psychosis, a condition of the mind were you cannot tell what is real and what is not real. they keep suffering from it. we are not a democracy. we are a republic. thank you. host: richfield, wisconsin. republican line. go ahead. caller: thanks for taking my call

but mask mandate are being eliminated throughout the country, why is philadelphia different?o they have a 10-day mask mandate for the start of the school year? >> we're trying to get to the bottom of it, the school district is blaming the department of health, but the department says they never made that recommendation and they blamed the children's hospital of philadelphia. we are trying to get to the root of who is making it up, we believe it is the teachers unionor school board members, which are not elected, the only group appointed by the mayor's office. >> todd: enrollment is down in philadelphia, where are students going? >> so either students are being home schooled with virtual charter schools, a lot of people moving out of the city because of poor management, poor city officials, poor leadership, that is where people are going or paying for private school. >> todd: i'm sorry, i know you care about your kid and you want your kid to be able to learn and grow and this is not good. thank you for your time, best of luck. >> carley: turning to meteorologist adam here with

i'm a proud philadelphia native. i actually own a bar in philly called mac's tavern, and we set up a live feed there tonight so i can hassle the scumbags drinking away their life savings on a monday night. hello, loyal customers!

called the philadelphia arts education partnership.so the idea is after a month of violin lessons, these young criminals, people who been busted committing crimes, get their records expunged. that was the plan that philadelphia's d.a. put into place last year. has it worked? well, sad to tell you that despite violin lessons, crime has gone up among young people, carjackings in particular as philadelphia's police commissioner outlaw put a quote, i don't want to say it's surprising but is definitely concerning really . well, it's not surprising to us , but it is for sure an understatement from 2020 to 2020 one , there's been one hundred and eight percent increase in carjackings in philadelphia, chicago putting up similar numbers. chicago has had more than a thousand carjackings this year alone. what does that do to a city a thousand carjackings? for every carjacking there is a much larger group of people now afraid to drive . now chicago is the place where suspect d.a. can fox recently implemented something called the juvenile interventi

we look at philadelphia. philadelphia donald trump actually got 3% more of the vote. in 2020 that he did in 2016. in the city of philadelphia and joe biden got 1% less of the vote. in philadelphia then hillary clinton did i would argue to you. that's a very unsuccessful steel job. when you let the guy you're trying to steal from get three percent more and the guy you're trying to steal four get one percent less. so illogical each they didn't steal it. now the other thing you'll hear about pennsylvania is wait a second when i went to bed. donald trump was winning, pennsylvania by 700,000 votes. and then i wake up. and he's losing by 80,000 votes. they stole it. no. we had a very unusual election in 2020 because we had the most mail-in ballots ever used in the history of our presidential election and each state. decided differently how they were going to count the votes in what order? so for instance in ohio. when you went to bed. and looked at, ohio. joe biden was winning, ohio. when you woke up. donald trump won ohio by nine points by the same, pennsylvania theory tru
