chittick: scott, i'm telling you, if -- if -- if the investors don't get their money -- i'm dead, scotti am a dead man walking. narrator: hear more of menaged's plan to weasel out of his fraudulent mess. go to americangreed.cnbc.com. want inside information from the show? join the "greed" social network. like us on "american greed's" facebook page. we'll be right back. ♪ narrator: on july 28, 2016, denny chittick's ex-wife pulls up in front of chittick's arizona home with their 10- and 11-year-old sons. she hasn't heard from him in a couple of days, which is highly unusual. she drove over with the boys. the boys ran to the front door. it was locked. so they ran around the side and jumped over the fence, and as they ran towards the house, they saw their father hanging with a luggage strap around his neck, and he was dead. and this is something that two young boys should never have to see in their lives. and they were so frightened and afraid, they ran back and they tried to go straight through the fence and they broke the fence, but they couldn't get through and they jumped over and ran

so dred scott v sanford is not just about dred scott. it is about harriet and dred and eliza and lizzie. it is about a family who in various ways have different claims to freedom, right? eliza is born in a free territory and lizzie is born upon return to parents who have effectively under law, possibly, freed. i just want to make this clear, the dred scott case is a family freedom suit. like queen v hepburn, and many of the others that came forward and washington, d.c. the other introductory point is this, all of these freedom suits aimed toward limiting slavery's reach. you think about all of the freedom suits, they are about defining slavery as subscribed as described by something. it can exist only by law in this way. if there are wills and contracts, as we will see in a minute, slavery is void in those cases. in other words, almost every freedom suit if we step back and look from 30,000 feet at what is happening, all of these freedom suits are finding slavery as something local. freedom is national, the norm, slavery is local. freedo

i said that we often think of dred scott's case as one man, dred scott, but harriet scott, dred scott's spouse, filed her freedom suit at exactly the same time. she had been taken to fort snelling in wisconsin territory, and she had been sold or transferred to dr. emerson, who enslaved dred scott, think about that for a second, she was sold effectively in a free territory, so if slavery is not legal, under american law in the territory of wisconsin, how is it that harriet scott could be sold there? not just taken there, but sold. right? their daughter eliza was born on a steamer, up the mississippi river, above the 36/30 line. okay? their other daughter lizzy was born in missouri, upon their return. so dred scott v john sanford is not just about dred scott. it's about harriet and dred and eliza and lizzy, it's about a family who in various ways have different claims to freedom, right? i mean eliza is born in a free territory, and lizzy is born upon return to parents who have been effectively under law presumably possibly freed in their residence in a free territory. so first and foremos

[applause] scott: good evening. thank you for having me back. it is always a pleasure to be agedking to the most beherit situation here in middlebrook. on the morning of july 14, 1864 as the first rays of the sun came from the eastern horizon, thel early's tired men, tired men of jubal early's army of the valley district splashed into the cool waters of the potomac river and crossed over at white's ferry. early's army would spend the next 36 hours resting near big spring, north of leesburg, virginia. it had been a hard campaign. a a lot of hard marching, on extremely hot days during the andh to washington, d.c. the return to the old dominion. one north carolinian later wrote, if the old gentleman didn't march as hard,and if we didn't say very emphatic things about him at the time when the hot sun was overcoming us, we begged his pardon, as he is the only man who ever gave us a peek at the yankee capital. jubal early was a unique personality. we will hear a lot about him throughout the weekend, and have heard some already. a couple stories to sum

scott morrison says australia is meing climate commitments which is disputed by the u.n. as well as one of the architectof the paris climate accord. scott morrison talks about the need for balance, helping to reduce emissions while supporting the fossil fuel industry, which creates emissions. it's aough balance especially as coal exports were lucrative responsibleyear, for 50,000 jobs. these are difficult political choices but scott morrison i clear that his government takes climate change seriously. herere examples which don't necessarily fit with that. this is his deputy talking about people trying to connect the firesli andte change. >> we don't need to write pure greenies at this time. ros: that's craig kelly who posted on facebook a few weeks ago, climate alarmists have been peddling the claim that rising temperatures are putting the boxi day test in doubt, that it's a complete pack of a lies like everything to do with climate change, it's not only a lie, buthe truth is the opposite. this is the same m. who in 2016 linked renewable energy to child a drownin he, i sho

in again scott igor live it has been very outspoken against racism and right wing violence and hatred for some time now which of course has made him a target of extremists but it seems to only make him stronger yeah and i think it's significant because he's such an important figure in the classical world and he's one of the greatest classical pianist of his generation and he's been very politically acceptable for quite some time now i mean a couple of years ago he received an echo which is sort of the german equivalent of a grammy award and he gave the echo back because the organization that gives them out also gave one of these awards to 2 german rappers who are infamous for using very anti sematic to massage mystical lyrics and in part because of his stand the echoes actually had to close down so his words have weight and his message political message x. is very very simple what i mean he's basically just saying that if we want to preserve the democratic society that we have the free and open society that we have politicians and ordinary people have to have to take a stand to have t

scott, great to have you with us. this, how has the ongoing impeachment trial impacted, do you think, president trump, in his re-election? it seems like every time there's a big day, you kind of see him going into a campaign trail going into a maga rally? >> yeah, i think he's using impeachment and the people leading the impeachment as a political foil. so people like jerry nadler, adam schiff, nancy pelosi, he sees an advantage to using those people as a foil. and he's running to his base. right? normally, you would see a lot of politicians seeking re-election, running to the middle. he knows, his team knows that he needs the suburban women, people in the suburbs. people in the middle to win this re-election. but instead, president trump is running to his base. you saw that in wildwood, new jersey where he got a raucous reaction, a response to his visit. people were lining up for hours or days on end to see him, but again, that may not be necessarily the people that president trump needs to win this re-election. so,

scott morrison has taken a lot of fla k scott morrison has taken a lot of flak in all this, partly for the emergency and partly his links to big: denial to climate change. what is the response to what he has been saying? what we are seeing here is a prime minister trying to reassert his leadership, trying to reassert his leadership, trying to reassert his leadership, trying to reassert his authority. he was heavily criticised, scott morrison, for being on holiday in hawaii during one of the worst weeks of this bushfire crisis before christmas. mr morrison also criticised for underplaying the role of global warming in this crisis as well. so here we have a prime minister trying to get back onto the front foot, he has brought in the military, he is promising billions of dollars in recovery assistance for bushfire hedge communities, and i think many australians simply want their leaders to lead, so that is a message i think that scott morrison is trying to tell the country, that he is back in control and he will chart —— charter a way through this crisis that he's still has a long way to
