jeff: well, you know, the state capital is, you know, if there's a takeaway for us for the book that, know, we say it on every tour of the tennessee, but people need to realize that the tennessee state capitol, most of us probably here are tennesseans. the tennessee state capitol is one of the most historic, as kim said, probably the most historic, and i can make an argument for that. , buildings in the state of tennessee and one of the most historic buildings in the nation. it is a national historic landmark mark, meaning that the federal government recognizes its national significance for us all. but it is also a working capitol, and that's the story. one of the things you'll see in it is that it is a working capitol. from 1853 to today, it is the place, the seat of government for us as tennesseans. many of -- i'm looking across the room, many of us have worked in that building and have been there, and so it was a -- it's a book that -- it's an arcadia historic images. one of the things we try to do at the state museum is make the building accessible because it is, it is all of our

we have to name ourselves a capital public or a capital city in in the state. general assembly gives gives the gives itself years. it says by 1843, we've got to name name a capital. so 1843, here we are in this election process up for james k polk, 1843, the general assembly selects nashville and it selects it because it was very stiff competition between two cities, murfreesboro and nashville gets this gets the state capital for largely two reasons. one, the cumberland river runs through nashville is very convenient for travel. the second is the hilltop, which our building now sits and. as you leave here today, walk our beautiful bison mall and look back up at that capitol hill sitting there. such a great thing that the nashville city planners to do this but they selected that site because it was offered them by the city of nashville for $30,000. the landowner sold it to the city so that the city of nashville could offer it to state of tennessee. and they did and so that's the reason nashville our state capitol building. and then of course in 1844, things are b

and, you know, it wasn't just at state capitals. we saw pretty big turnout at a lot of town halls, city halls, any location basically that has anything to do with government. you can see some of the images here from outside city hall in orlando, florida and san francisco. also, big protests in seattle and in philly. we're going to be looking in detail at some of those big protests today all over the country. that's coming up in just a few minutes. you will want to see that for sure. we're also going to be talking with the us senator who joined the protest at his state capitol today. u.s. senator chris van hollen is going to be joining us live here this hour in just a few minutes. so there's a lot to a lot to show you, a lot to talk about in terms of how that all went down today. a big national day of protest against the trump administration. we'll get to all of that. but we are going to start tonight here. here on nuclear street. >> nuclear street, proton. >> lane. >> bombing range road, the atomic body shop, atomic plumbing, atomic

we saw protests in big cities and small towns and in state capitals. we saw just how off people are about what's happening right now. and who could blame them? i mean, we just learned that elon musk, doge crew, is trying to get access to personal taxpayer payer data at the irs. so basically, the world's richest man and his band of 20 something cronies want access to your personal data. they want access to your tax returns, your addresses, your employment information, your banking details, and your social security numbers. i mean, this is the kind of issue that hits home for all of us. i'm sure it hits home for you because most of us pay taxes, right? just like most of us fly in on airplanes. and today, unbelievably, there was another major commercial airline incident. a delta plane that took off from minneapolis flipped over when it was attempting to land in toronto. nobody was killed, but at least 17 people were injured. and of course, it's just the latest in a series of air incidents since trump was sworn in. and since an army helicopter and an ameri
