robert e. lee their goal is independence and a territorial sovereignty of the south. what i put below that is the seal the confederacy and if you look at the center of that seal you might recognize george, washington. the second war of independence is what they would often call it and this is an appropriate model perhaps for the south all they have to do is not lose. and if they could get a european power to come in on their side, that would make all. difference for abraham lincoln advised by his principal military advisor at the start of the war winfield scott. is goal is to preserve the union in fact as late as august 1862 he writes to horace grievances my paramount object in this war is to preserve the union. it is not to save or destroy slavery if i could free. none of the slaves and preserve the union. i would do that if i could free all the slaves and preserve the union i would do that if i could free some and leave the others alone and preserve the union i would do that too. remember lin

robert, could you start on that? robert o'brien: sure. thank you, condi.aid that about sitting in thomas jefferson's seat, i think about sitting in condi rice's seat, and i'm sure jake does as well. and it was a privilege to work with you back in the bush administration on afghanistan, and i appreciate your guidance and wisdom in the new position. and as you remember, one of the first questions i asked you, i think the first week i was in office, i think the great thing about being a national security advisor is that you're staffing the president of the united states, and it's your job to make sure, in my view, that he gets the best options, the best advice, the best counsel to face all the myriad of crises and long term policy issues. he has to decide, only he or she can decide those issues as the president, but as national security advisor, you can frame those issues, you can you can pull up the entire government together and have a whole of government discussion of where we should go and how we should address whatever the matter is that's facing the pre

so robert pick the name instead. but this is fearless, and she ends up having two children, in the sense that she raises her brother which is thomas his daughter, several years after thomas his wife dies. she raises her daughter mary. named after mary church terrell. so there are lots of marries and lots of roberts. she ends up with two children in the end. but only after six years of trying to conceive one herself. she was very very nurturing but also pretty protective of her children, when she had them. because it had been a difficult time to get to that point. >> in this next slide, this brings us right to her activism. and this is you know it's an image of the national association, of colored women, some of the founding mothers of the nac w.. but what i just noticed here, there's a little baby sitting on the lap of one of the women. >> yes it's interesting, i can't go through each one of these, it would take too long, but i can point out a few key people. the person holding the baby is not the baby's mother. the

robert, thank you for joining us.lowing your journey from the google acquisition days that you have certainly come far. besides doing a good dancing twist, what are some of the coolest things you are robots can do today? robert: well, the reason we chose dancing is because it forces us to build technology to really coordinate all those limbs on a robot in ways that are not to be important if you are going to do useful work. you have the point exactly right, it is about those capabilities. especially with a new arm. we just launched a new armband for it to open a door in the real world, you have to ordinate the arm, the body, the legs, everything at once together. it pushed our technology to the point where opening a door now becomes kind of matter of fact. emily: you are expanding your spot robot line with spot enterprise, spot can monitor remotely anything as i understand it from power grids to construction sites. what else could that involve? airports, railroads, farms, space? robert: space would be interesting. it

we have been talking to robert smith about the okay program, our kids. at first i thought it meant the oakland kids, but this program extends throughout the state. so helping young people, young kids. tell us more about that, the fact that it is in other parts of the country. >> yes, so currently we have an okay program in i believe seven states, and chapters just like oklahoma. we call them chapters, and chapter is a middle school that we start in that feeds into a high school. so all of the chapters are ran by african-american police officers, and they try to follow those young boys that we recruit into the program from sixth grade all the way to 12th grade to build that relationship and stick with them to get true any issues that they might encounter. >> do you find them open? do you feel initem dated by seeing the police officers. how do you see that experience? >> at first, just because of what has been going on in the news an the media, the young kids, especially african- american boys are concerned when they first -- you know, when you first appro

you have to talk for me to know, robert. let me get robert back on.while we're waiting for him, he makes the argument on constitutionality in this, you don't have a high crime and misdemeanor, and it matters, there has to be a crime. this was argued all the way back in nixon. the democrats reject this. where do you come down on it? >> it doesn't have to be a crime. there are certain things all the president uniquely can do. if you or i called up the president of ukraine and said do this or that, as in the last time around, it doesn't mean anything. some good examples have been made by first amendment lawyers who ordinarily come on the air to talk about how expansive the first amendment is. they make the point. i would like to know how rob thinks about this. if you're the president of the united states and go out and public and at the podium says i have decided to pledge allegiance of china and i believe china should invade us and america would be better for that. that's not a crime, if you or i said that, it's protected unpopular political speech. i w

robert: it transmits faster.s is while we were all wearing double masks, keep with the social distancing. it spreads easier. there is no question it spreads easier. what was disturbing and came out of the london school of medicine at the end of last week is they are saying it is more lethal by 30% or 40%. tom: what does that mean for our viewers and listeners? how do you describe that? robert: it is easier to look at a hard number. you're talking about illinois, we have like 3000 new cases every day still and we think we are happy, but of every thousand, it used to be 10 people would die. 10 out of 1000. now it will be 13 or 14 people, if this is correct. that data is not verified. they admit that. it is suspicious. lisa: based on how quickly that. is spreading, what is the percentage you estimate of the population that needs to be vaccinated for us to reach herd immunity? robert: nobody knows. we will not know until it happens. at the same time, we are in a collision course with -- with the variance which makes

robert everyone lee and stone wall jackson committed treason per se. treason is outlined in the u.s. constitution, it's very clear on what it qualifies as treason, taking up arms against the united states government is treason. that's what it's called. this is not me being political, this is just what the constitution says. they took an oath to the u.s. constitution, right, they took an oath to the united states when they were at west point and they broke that oath. you can say they resigned but oaths don't usually end with a resignation. regardless, you know, that aspect of them is erased in the same way that robert e. lee being remembered as kind to enslaved people despite being remembered to enslaved people as a terrible master who was horrible and who separated families and we look at the documents, it turns out robert e. lee was very much an advocate for slavery and very much tried to maintain enslaved people himself. and so this rewriting these lies, they apply not only to the big picture but the small picture and these tiny lies build up to crea

i had never read robert donovan's book about kennedy's wartime experiences, but i've read robert caro'sulti-volumes on lyndon johnson and johnson when he was in the senate was kennedy, totally misjudged and thought he was this rich kid that had everything handed to him and didn't know adversity or how to handle it if he encountered it. this was a time when johnson was figuring kennedy was going to be the adversary for the democratic nomination in 1960 then he talks about the heroism in the pacific and it's annd amazing story. what he did in adversity to maintain his leadership and make the survival of his people is just inspiring. that's my view of kennedy. he was w an inspiring person ina lot of ways and that is a reflection of it. but i would go back to what i was sayingt before. i would love to say he was a hugely consequential president and that's how i would judge him if he had a huge impact on the direction of america but he didn't have the chance to do that, so i can't say that. i'm not denigrating kennedy at all. i'm simply saying i don't have a sense of his being at a high rank

well, thank you, robert. what a great set of stories, but you a good set of questions from our our audience and you'll be interested that one of our members of the audience is a tour guide who reports that she had a couple who came with the picture of their honeymoon trip on the east steps in 1930s. so judy floyd has now affirmed your story about the honeymoon activities. okay, that's that's great. um love to see that picture. i mean, it was actually interesting the the there's a article in i think the hill not that long ago where don richie was quoted as saying that they're actually been one couple that got married in the in the capital. that's of course a frowned upon or simply not happen today, but and he mentions that they were photographers and took pictures of themselves there. and so i was i was intrigued as like well are there any pictures of this that that led down through a whole bunch of other rabbit holes not going to get into necessary right now, but i would i would love to see a picture of honey

robert in texas, good morning, whatare you thinking about this morning ? >> i'm just thinking how terrible this has been and how it should be a good wake-up call that we need to get back to a very robust cdc and infectious disease control experts and let's let science do the predictions as they've done in previous years and prepare the country because i think this is kind of a wake-upcall and there will be plenty of these in the future . we probably are going to come out of this remarkably well unfortunately 500,000 probably 650,000 by the time we get a control on it but this is going to be part of the future in this ever populated world we live in .rl >> robert, when you say a very robust cdc, what do you mean ? >> caller: i think we need to get the funding back up. so much of what's happened in d the last year has basically been not having the people in control to make decisions and implement policy and basically have the strong leadership that can dictate out to the public this is what we need to do and we need to do it now. there's been a lot of politi

robert: thank you for that overview. i want to get into some of the factors that you mentioned and discussed them a little bit more. it is kind of unique, it really does strike me that when we look forward, the recession caused by economic factors, supply and demand, that is simple things, whereas here, really, you have to look at health-care care indicators and economic indicators because they are really driving what happens. some of the variables that seem really important to the budget, and this was true pre-pandemic and will be post pandemic, are health-care costs and also on the economic front, interest cost and inflation. and something called the output gap, and right now we are really focused -- everybody is focused -- on the economic factor because that is really what is front and center now. so let's talk about interest rates for a minute, because that is a factor that has surprised all of us, i think, in the past central -- several years, the persistence of very low-interest rates. of course, that helps when yo

roberts, thank you, yes. >> jimmy: how great is that? spectacular. it was spectacular. >> jimmy: what a thing to be able to make a special like this to honor him and also the other men who flew with him. the first black u.s. soldiers to fly in the war. and just really an amazing story. i think we have a clip of you and your dad. here we go. >> beautiful, beautiful. >> my father passed away in 2004. he didn't get to witness the airmen receiving such recognition. but his legacy, like that of all the tuskegee airmen, is enduring. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that is unbelievable. >> that's my dad right there, yeah. >> jimmy: when you were a kid, is this something he talked about? would he tell you stories about that time in his life? >> you know, this is part of the reason i get chills, this is part of the reason why i'm doing this film on the history channel. my father didn't talk about it. much of the tuskegee airmen, they just wanted to go fly, they just wanted to go protect our country. they were the first black pilots in the u.s.

robert donovan book about kennedy's wartime experiences. but i have read robert carol's multi- volumes on lyndon johnson. carol makes it interesting points, johnson when he was in the senate with kennedy totally misjudged kennedy. thought he was a rich kid who had everything handed to him. and did not know adversity and would not know how to handle that if he encountered it. it messed with a time when johnson disfiguring canoes going going to be an adversary. as any talk about kennedy's wonderful and a pt vote but it is amazing story. what we did in adversity to maintain its leadership is just inspiring. i think he was an empire inspiring person that's a reflection of it. go back to what i've said before would love to say anytime kennedy to huge impact on the direction of america. he didn't have chances do that so i can't say that padma denigrated kennedy at all. i'm simply saying i don't have a sense of his being at a high ranking the simple reason he never had a chance to prove what is ranking would be. >> january 11, 2021, a letter was w

he also considered replacing alan dulles with his own brother robert. robert kennedy liked working with the agency, but he was savvy enough politician to realize that. that wouldn't work very well. it's not really career enhancing for politicians to bcia director so we turn that down. now just a few months after the bay of pigs debacle. kennedy is meeting with the soviet premiere in vienna at their summit khrushchev. berated kennedy for american imperialism and said the soviets are going to get tough regarding berlin. um in august, this is four months the bay of pigs. the east germans acting on orders from moscow erected the berlin wall cutting off east berlin from west berlin. the communists called it the anti-fascist protective wall, but it was really meant to prevent east germans from escaping to freedom in the west. again, that's what communists do the us consider this an illegal act, but did not risk war to stop it. kennedy however, renewed the us commitment to the freedom of west berlin and khrushchoff having built a wall. he backed down. on any f

now let's hear from robert watson, thank you for joining us today. >> hello everyone i am robert watsonre to talk about my latest book george washington's final battle per the epic struggle to build a capitol city and a nation. so any american schoolchild knows that george washington was heroic and stoic. he was a great and courageous commander on the battlefield. and of course one of the greatest presidents who through his every action and in action, everything he said and didn't say pretty much carved up the precedents for the presidency. but we don't always noses george washington had another side to him. it could be a visionary and a dreamer. it could also be a political player if not a political chess match bread by the same token, so all americans of intra- capitol city. americans love their capitol city. spacious bran boulevards with memorials and majestic government buildings to treat line mall with very few americans know the story of how the capitol city came to be an almost didn't come to be. that's what we are here today to talk about it. so, our story begins a drop back up

roberts. mr. roberts: thank you, mr. chairman.honored to appear before you on behalf of the american maritime partnership, or amp. it is the largest coalition of american maritime partners ever assembled, representing almost all segments of the maritime industry, producing 650,000 jobs nationwide. as in my written testimony, i would like to speak briefly about three issues -- covid offshore wind, and china. ,but i have two preliminary comments for a get to those. first, for those who may be new to american maritime, you should know that labor and management stand together on virtually every policy issue. i believe this is because of the unique role we play in promoting our national security, and it is important to recognize especially in for lowrise environment. secondly, let me touch on the jones act which is the foundation for the american domestic maritime industry. the requirement of the jones act is that those who carry cargo between two american points must use american ships with american workers and must obey american laws

thank you. programme, robert reich. thank ou. . ~' programme, robert reich.y from the us and a row between the european union and russia over the treatment of the prominent opposition leader, elected valley, has escalated. roger has expelled diplomats who they say protested in support of alexei navalny. he's beenjailed for two and a half years for fraud, and was back in court today on a separate charge. from moscow, steve rosenberg reports. it's becoming a familiar sight — president putin's nemesis on trial. alexei navalny had already been sentenced to two and a half years in prison this week, for a parole violation. slander was the charge now. he insists it's political persecution. i appeal for his release. across town, the eu's foreign policy chief was calling for mr navalny�*s release. it didn't go down well. first, russia's foreign minister called the eu an unreliable partner and accused courts in the west of political verdicts. then his ministry expelled three eu diplomats, claiming they'd attended rallies in support of mr navalny. the eu condemned the m

connell: let it roll, says steve forbes as i go back to you robert on this i do want to introduce the commentary from larry summers this week which i'm sure you saw of course the former advise or economics to president obama, and he wrote about it in the washington post. essentially saying this biden package might actually be too big, and he agrees with a lot of democrats that the obama stimulus in 2009 was too small, he says it was a half as large as the output shortfall, but that the biden proposals three times as large as the projected shortfall, so again, he concludes it might actually be too big. your thoughts in response to what steve just said? >> well, my thoughts to larry s ommers is i'm not really disagreeing, i won't think it will be 1.9 trillion, i don't think minimum wage will be on it and i think the $1,400 needs to be more targeted to income level s and overall family levels , so i don't think 1.9 is what's going to be the end result. with respect to what steve said, i mean, we're talking about reopening. the republican plan gave $20 billion for school reopenings nation

my way to the miami office for work i hear on the radio that the fbi had arrested one of its own, robert philip hansen for espionage and we found out that for 10 years bob hansen spied for the russians undetected and for one of those years it happened to be my unit chief. where is that in the book? it's in the chapter called credibility and it frankly might have put a horrific fbi spy case of the trail of the fbi and nation in the credibility chapter,here's what i did . the focus of the fbi being perfect and your credibility, your team, your organization isn't about that organization or nation being perfect, are democracy is far from perfect . it's about owning up to the mistakes you made. robert hansen should never have been hired, he should have been detected somewhere in that 10 year period . but when he was found and boy they went after him and they, the mole and it was one of us . we announced it, he said we screwed up and here's what we're going to doto fix it boy , were security mechanisms put in place to fix that from happening again . with regard to how badly other countries wan

to make news and it's going to get reported on you know that there are very good point on this but robert at the same time are democrats worried that this is take away from their own agenda and attention that they should be putting on the things that they actually got elected to do and what makes them different from the public and party. absolutely the best because i think that the longer they fixate on donald trump and not on issues such as a student loan reform which the president by been given very weak answer on last night things such as infrastructure if a structure will schools be reopening according to c.d.c. guidelines how will the virus were let go i think those are think the media needs to continue to report on we've got the marching orders from mitch mcconnell. will connell says we need to have criminal investigations into the trial a lot of the justice department had a little well thought he will listen fulton telling it like he said james in the city of new york had all these investigations into a trial in the media in the political sphere needs to move on to a 2nd to biden's

so during the civil war when robert e lee's army of northern virginia came in to pennsylvania in the summer of 1863 she was quite concerned that her family would be the next people, could be victims of kidnapping from the army of northern virginia. as she watches in her diaries she sees refugees coming into the city of philadelphia fleeing the army. she writes in her diary how concerned she is about their freedom. they're free now pennsylvania but that freedom is a tenuous thing without a legal antislavery in the country, which seemed like a remote possibility in the summer of 1863. so certainly with davis' diary in her experience as this woman living in the free city of philadelphia remind us that freedom -- her experience of
