on the pickett line, i learned a life lesson. i learned about privilege and i learned about the privilege that i have and i also learned about the unity and strength of workers getting together. combined our dedication to actually fighting for not only our own wages but for wages for moderate and low-wage workers everywhere. in particular now, in san francisco. this expensive city experiencing the largest wealth gap we have ever experienced. i see how you are on strike fighting. i see how you would have to strike in order to demand wages and healthcare that you deserve. i just want to say thank you for coming out today. thank you to supervisor ronen for calling this hearing. we have heard many times in this chamber from elected officials that say labor stays united. these weeks of the strike for local 2 to unite here, you've demonstrated the tenacity, the determination and also how stead fast you are in believing in your right to earn a living wage here in san francisco. and so i look forward to hearing from you today. >> supervi

shots from behind that pickett fence over there would have almost have had to whistle by his year. mr. zapruder, when we interviewed him, tended to agree that the grassy know was not involved. >> i am not a ballistic expert that i believe the shots came from my right ear -- i would've heard a different sound. i heard shots coming from -- i would not know which traction, but it could have been the book depository and they all sounded alike. there was no difference at all. was lookingkin towards the book depository. >> as i was getting ready to make some pictures, i heard this noise. i thought it was a fire -- firecracker explosion. i made the picture which shows the president right after he is struck with a bullet. struck in the neck, the first shot. and this was a picture that the warren report later fixed as being made two seconds after the shot was fired. they got close into me and i was prepared to make the picture, i had my camera almost at my level, that is when the president was shot in the head. and i do know that the president was still in an upright position, tilted favori

people are trying to sell things to both sides, sally pickett is a great example of this. she was a war widow who made money who could appeal to both northerners and southerners. there are political and commercial reasons for celebrating a reconciled, reunited nation. under this banner, veterans did occasionally come together as unionists. one of the great pieces of doing the research for this book was finding out that one of the very first blue, gray reunions happened and my hometown on july 21, 1881. i will tell you i was a guide at the conference when i was in high school so i could give you the whole spiel about the cave discovered in 1878, but by 1881, shirts like this had made their way across the country and a group of veterans decided they wanted to see the grand catherine of leeway. they were to the veterans in the counties and invited themselves to come down into the cavern, if only, the confederate veterans would extend them a invitation to come down. in fact, that is just what happened. they came here and there was a reunion and they got to see the cave that ha

when you think about the senseless slaughter narrative of the first world war, there is no pickett's charge. there is no d-day landing. there is no big, triumphant moment. this is the battle in which seargent york enacts this heroic feat. and he gets pumped up, not to take anything away from him, but almost they need a hero. they need somebody there to say something great about this hard slog. and even though it results in the end of the war, there is no sense of satisfaction that americans seem to feel about this. a lot of people died. why did they have to die? that is actually what americans want to know. this feeds into our last myth - wwi was quickly forgotten. we have forgotten wwi. but the generation who participated in it did not. i can demonstrate this in a few quick ways. the first is that we built huge overseas cemetaries. eight of them in france and belgium for our war dead. this becomes an interesting tussle between the govenment and the families of the fallen. at the beginning of the war, secretary baker had promised families that the american government would bring the

the traditionalists were small town, rural, pickett fences, blue collar workers, norman faith, family,h, flag, all of those sense of values and a sense that they built america ho and they were the ones who made america great. 1960's were of the the modernists coming through, culturally , nontraditional, cosmopolitan, they see themselves as building america's future, ok. you have is a cultural conflict that emerged out of this and i think to some extent, we're seeing some of the last bursts of this sort of arc that nixon and how he appealed to a certain demographic and how they have the core of the republican party. and it goes to my sort of sense push-pull theory of politics. what happened is that a lot of white working class folks ho, their ancestral party, the democratic party, but they began to feel that they didn't belong in the democratic party anymore this 1960's movement began to take over the democratic party. extent, they felt pushed away from the democratic party. ronald reagan's old statement, i didn't leave the democratic party, it left me. many of them, they didn't feel c

you cannot impeach except for treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors, it means that pickett doesn't mean maxine waters has said that we can impeach anybody as long as there's a majority in the house of representatives, or she wants to know not only impeach donald trump but she wants to impeach vice president pence. there are those who can buy a book together for me to want to impeach justice kavanaugh for what he did when he was 17 or his testimony in front of the senate. i think impeachment is a last resort in a democracy, and it should only be used in extreme cases. we've only had one proper impeachment in our history. it was not andrew johnson. he was a properly impeached and almost removed renewed for exeg his constitutional authority any case the supreme court alternately said was in his favor. he was not bill clinton who committed a low crime, not a high crime. it was richard nixon who was properly subject to impeachment because he committed clear obstruction of justice. he destroyed evidence. he allegedly bribed witnesses. he paid hush money. he had his people live to

this is the muscle shoals rhythm section who by that point and played behind everyone from wilson pickettnd bell understood that even as he wanted to make these records that were almost all intrinsically correct connected to the civil rights and black power tradition, he also wanted to work with really good rhythm sections who happened to be a bunch of white guys from alabama and those sessions in a sense indicate the possibilities of that crossover. to the point where paul simon at the time and just gone solo and he wanted to make his first solo album and he called al bell and said who are those jamaican musicians who are playing on the staples singers record? >>. >> and of course the muscle shoals rhythm section, they're all white guys. the addendum to the muscle shoals story is that throughout the 1970s, muscle shoals works increasingly with white artists who want a black sound whether it's paul simon, the osmonds , rod stewart. any number of other folks. and muscle shoals by the end of the 70s is arguably more associated with white artists than it is with black artists, something blac

josh mankiewicz: golden oldies, like wilson pickett's "634-5789," were the band's bread and butter.land, used to perform with the platters. he said that whenever buck naked played, people would dance. we would pack the place every single friday and saturday night. and it would just be one very big party. most have been fun to be part of the big band in town. it was. oh yeah, it was. josh mankiewicz: the band was so hot, in fact, that jim huden eventually turned over the computer store to his top assistant, jean spender, so he could concentrate on music. i kind of pushed him towards doing that because i knew that was his love and that's where he was most happy. were you in love with him? very much so. i loved that man very much. josh mankiewicz: so much so that in december 2001, after six years of living together, jean and jim got married in las vegas. and i was asked, by jean, if i would walk her down the aisle. was she happy? oh, yeah. all smiles, both of them were all smiles. josh mankiewicz: but the smiles did not last long. in june 2002, jim huden returned here to washington sta
