alfred rockwell and command of the battery that is supposed to start stevens' men asks stevens at thismoment, general, may i ask what the plan of battle. stevens replied, there isn't any plan. you will fire when you get a chance and be careful not to hit any of our own men. at 4:00 a.m., the first brigade of stevens division arrived west of the river house. a thousand yards from tower battery. as they arrived at this location, shots rang out from four startled confederate pickets, two were immediately made prisoner and two more were run down by lieutenant colonel frank graves on horseback. fenton's selective forlorn hope would lead the advance and move through an opening in the second hedge row into a cotton field. as these men deployed into the fields, stevens ordered a halt which lasted no more than 15 minutes. following the halt, the forelorn hope advanced, making it over the second hedge without any confederate fire from the fort. when the forlorn hope let out a cheer, the tower battery opened, decimating the center of the line with canister fire. in the fort, colonel lamar turned

steven: i don't know for certain. certainly if it were warren or sanders, they would be harder for the democrats to win the white house. both of them would be harder general election sells then joe biden and if trump wins reelection and the so handily, i -- and does so handily, i don't think there is any chance the democrats win the senate, but even if it is biden, he's already advocating a number of positions he needs to to secure the nomination that are pretty far to the left and you have candidates like mark kelly, cal cunningham in north carolina who have tried to hide out on virtually everything. they don't talk to reporters, they don't fill out questionnaires, they don't want to let anyone know what they think. one of our missions will be to make sure whoever the nominee is, their agenda is tattooed to the political resume of whoever the nominee is, whether mark kelly or cal cunningham or teresa greenfield or whoever. at some point, the presidential election -- we all know president trump's favorables and unfavo

greta: steven law, thank you for being this week's newsmaker. steven:: thank you. greta: we are back with our reporters. let's begin with impeachment, where we began with mr. law. leah, how tough is it going to e for some of the republican senators to vote against itnesses when, as steven law said, they have to vote with their state, with how their state is positioned on these ssues? leah: if we are looking just in terms of how voters feel, it is really tough for republicans. democrats released some polling in maine that showed more than 70% of voters in maine want to hear from witnesses. just because they feel that way doesn't mean they will vote against a republican senator who doesn't. there is a big difference between folks who decide they want to hear something and an issue that moves voters. the question in maine is if a voter was turned off by susan collins after the kavanaugh vote, how much further down will she go? are there going to be folks who stuck around with her after the kavanaugh vote and are now going to leave her because of impeachment decisions?

steven: i don't know for certain. sanders,e warring or warren or sanders, they would be harder general election sells then joe biden and if trump wins the so handily, i don't think there is any chance the democrats win the senate, but even if it is biden, he's already advocating a number of positions he needs to to secure the nomination that are pretty far to the left and you have candidates like mark kelly, cal cunningham in north carolina who have tried to hide out on virtually everything. they don't talk to reporters, philip question news, and one of our missions will be to make is, whoever the nominee their agenda is tattooed to the political resume of whoever the mark kelly whether or teresa greenfield or whoever. at some point, the presidential election -- we all know president trump's favorables and unfavorables and weaknesses and record will be imputed to the republican nominee to some extent. but what i think has not been focused on yet is the degree to which the agenda and perhaps the --sonality of the democ

steven[laughter] steven: it is like a show and tell. mayor price: and they all think their city is the best city. [laughter] steven: it is paralyzed. i am interested in the incubator's each of your cities represent and the show intel your cities are about to go through and whether you need this town or not, whether the resources you have, the models you have among each other, did the federal government at some point become irrelevant to the direction of the course you are setting, or do the resources provided in washington still important to you? mayor price: the resources are still important, because clearly every dollar appear is our money. it comes from you, either directly on your income tax or indirectly on other taxes, so for us to be here to lobby, for councilmembers to lobby, to how it gets sent back to us, you know, we would love to come in lobby, but it comes with last strength, because everyone of you would agree, mayors are where the rubber hits the road. mayor durkan: we already rubber.

steven: right. mayor durkan: and if you look at the burden of raising children come almost always placed on the women. raise g the work force to children, almost always the women. people who take parental leave and never come back. and i think if you also look at the resources available, don't do it because that is where the vote is, do it because if you do it, you are going to have a smarter, better community. steven: and you think that this community is reorganizing itself in a way that they are not -- mayor durkan: i do. i think it is kind of, "no más." we are done. it is time for action. mayor price: many of these senior women that you're seeing, ot just 50 but 60 and 70 or more, have out lived their husbands and now they're in the driver's seat on finances, and you never make policy based on one specific group, but clearly you listen to every group command that is a group that has become very vocal, as they should be, but i believe everybody brings something to the table, and you are listening

steven: to give them raises yes.and there was a very conservative legislature there was cutting corporate taxes, cutting taxes to the original really created a freeze in educational statewide and on teacher salary. in this teacher saw that the governor of west virginia, it is like explaining the smoke, it was the richest man in west virginia the only billionaire. he said i'm going to give your race, just 1 percent a year for five years. and the teachers will really upset about that because they have 48 or pay loophole of the state. the worst. their health care premiums often went up to 300 or 500 or $700 a year. so it might $400 year, while health premiums would often go up more than that. and these two ladies, two teachers, they started a facebook page. it started slowly but won't the governor said, will going to give you this tiny raise. the facebook page exploded. thousands and tens of thousands of teachers jointed and all of a sudden they had this big movement. and people will like, they were set up. it was like

stevens refused to sign the constitution and walked out.as no possible political benefit in 1837. >> quite the opposite. >> for standing up for the rights of black people in pennsylvania. quite the opposite. the radicals had been fighting for justice and equality long before the civil war, long before reconstruction, suddenly the destruction of slavery opens up this question of what is going to replace it. what is the country to look like with 4 million people suddenly freed. johnson of course, you know, you quote some of the things he has said to frederick douglass, others about black people, deeply racist and without going through the chronology of events because i want to get to impeachment yet. [laughter] congress tries to work with johnson, he refuses, they pass civil rights legislation. they propose the 14th amendment, he opposes it, tells the cell to reject it, finally they get fed up and they get rid of the governments johnson has created and put into effect what they call radical reconstruction with black men now voting in the cell

when steven miller writes back. he responds with a link to this article warning people that president obama might use that hurricane as a convenient pretext to invite, quote a lot of mexicans into the united states. that article that steven miller sent around the time of the hurricane is from a racist anti-immigrant website called vdare named after virginia dare which was reportedly the first white person born in the new world in the 1580s. the folklore about this virginia dare folk lore has become a point of worship among american white supremacists and white nationalists. the founder called it adolf hitler's revenge on america. yeah, hitler is dead sure but he's winning his nazi race war against us because people still immigrate to america and obviously that's terrible. >> the founding ethos is that the united states is explicitly a white nation. quote, the racial identity of america is legitimate and defensible. diversity is not strength but a vulnerability is their mission statement. and in that e-mail where ste

steven nickerson, another of her childhood buddies, was surprised to see her. >> it was good, because i hadn't seen her in probably, like, six to eight months. and we caught up. >> reporter: the group met up at an apartment. >> and then around 11:00 or 11:30 we went down to the bars. >> reporter: the bars were in an upscale shopping mall in the town of plano. it was hopping. the group headed to a bar called henry's tavern, then closed down another called scruffy duffy's. at about 2 am, christina, steven, and a few others went back to the apartment where they'd started. >> reporter: how drunk was everybody? >> i mean, we were all pretty drunk. it was myself, i probably had ten to 12 shots and a couple beers when i was out. >> reporter: too drunk to drive, steven wanted to crash on the couch and sober up. but christina hadn't had much to drink at all and she just wanted to get home. it was now about 3:30 saturday morning. >> she wanted me to take her home. >> reporter: she wanted you to take her home and you say, i can't. i've had too much to drink. why don't you stick around? >> yeah.

that is stevens' only instruction. smith will give stevens the following instructions and kind of following that. the instructions are to not prevent a general engagement in any circumstance, and he is to leave for ethan allen and go to lewinsville, and gather intelligence and forage and go back to ethan allen without a big fight. that is what he is going to do. so he is going to leave in the morning of december 11th, 1861, and jumping from ethan allen, he arrives in lewinsville by the morning. what he is going to do is that stevens is organizing the force and defense. so if we break it down a little bit. in the semicircle, they are guarding all of the roads that we are talking about. the rest of infantry is gathered along the road networks and if a fight starts, that i can mobilize like a rabbit intervention team and fight them. griffin's four guns will guard every road intersection with one gun and reserve and finally, in comes the lieutenant of the engineers orlando poe. and gathering with the theme of soldiers to b

you all probably know of stevens. he was the number two in the libya embassy before the civil war and then when the civil war broke out in libya in 2011, washington needed somebody to go into libya, to sneak into libya to be the probably washington's eyes and ears on the ground, somebody who would figure out who they rebels were and try to find out who was important and what they needed to know about them. so there's a lot of foreign policy in the book, but it's mostly a book about these four people andnd their struggles; their struggles against the bad guys and their struggles against difficult local leaders in these countries. and sometimes their struggles with washington too, you can imagine if. especially those ofom you who he wibeen in government service knw all about that. so these were ambassadors kind of in a different mold from most ambassadors. in calm places ambassadors function largely to pass on messages between washington and foreignly leaders. but these were all situations where there was chaos, where t
