teamster and a scout. while black men were not allowed in the union and confederate armies, there were some light skin blacks who actually passed for white that were in both armies and we'll never know the full extent to how many did that. one example is lieutenant colonel william n. reed of the 1st infantry. in some places he was listed as white, others he was listed as a ma la doe. but his father was a white danish man and his mother was a black save from st. croix virgin islands. he graduated from military school in denmark. and most people think of that as being germany. it does become part of germany after the second prussian war. he served in the danish army before coming back to the united states. he would lead the battle, taking over for the colonel who was not there. he was mortally wounded in action and died. but he was in command and he talked about the discipline of the 35th uset when the 35th and the 54th massachusetts actually held the line as the union troops were retreating. but lieutenant

i'm speaking on behalf of teamsters. following the brother has just described for the past year during the pandemic the working conditions out there have been very, very difficult for these men and women, these teamsters who are maintaining these bus shelters and the other street furniture that clear channel oversees. we're happy to partner with clear channel as a good employer who has made sure that all the teamster members kept their jobs without any pay cuts during the pandemic. again, to emphasize as the brother was just stating, the working conditions out there are some of the worst that you can see in the service industry. they're exposed to the street. they have to deal with various kinds of street behavior they encounter while trying to accomplish their task of maintaining, repairing and cleaning the shelters. we greatly appreciate your consideration today in supporting this amendment to make sure that clear channel can continue to go forward to provide good jobs to the teamsters here in this industry. thank you

now nimrod at the beginning of the war was a scout and a teamster for the 36, ohio infantry. and he served there from april 1861 until he joined the 23rd and 1864. now he is from prince, william county, virginia. but his family was freed a long time. so he moved to ohio. so he served as a free man. as a teamster in the scout while black men were not allowed in the union and confederate armies there were some light skin blacks who actually passed for whites that were in both armies and we'll never know the full extent to how many did that but one example was lieutenant colonel william n reid the first north carolina colored calvary. excuse me colored infantry later designated the 35th us et. in some places he was listed as white other places. he was listed as a mulatto. but his father was a white danish man, and his mother was a black slave from saint croix, virgin islands. read was an abolitionist from new york, but he graduated from military school in kiel denmark. and most people think of that as being germany and it does become part of germany after the second impression w

so in labor news, the teamsters are launching a pressure campaign to unionize amazon. now in the past, we've seen how in bessemer they've tried for an election that you know, would be certified by the national right. labor relations board. and it didn't work . unfortunately, it's very sad that that effort failed. but the teamsters returning a different approach and this is going back to how they formed over a 100 years ago, when they did not have legal rights to unionize. so what they did is they got horse drivers, grave haulers, beer wagon drivers, and they got them to do illegal strikes, citywide strikes, and they did other mass collective action. if we could just get the horse drivers if time or things would change, right? all 10 of the really just your college, but i mean, i mean just the concept of an illegal, right? yeah, no, we're not working. mother. there is no, it doesn't. there's no, it's not a crime. right. just decided not to work. right. it can only be, yeah it's, it's legal only after the fact they always will find a way to, you know, mess with the legal

and so the gaming industry went to various things like the teamsters pension fund to obtain funding for the casinos. by 1967, howard hughes came into the state of nevada and one of the effects of hughes in the state of nevada was that it legitimized gaming operations. and by 1974, harrah's had gone public on the stock exchange. and that heralded the new era of gaming throughout nevada and eventually, of course, throughout the united states. what we have here are things from our educational collection, which allows people to look at things, physically hold them, handle them. like this. the purpose of the hga is to gather, protect, and present the history of gaming. and so this allows us to give demonstrations of various types of, in this instance, things that are considered to be special work or cheating devices. and, if you see i take a magnet , here, i have a dice cube. it is what they call magnetic dice. it can sometimes also work in an opposite direction. this is a magnetized lead ball. as you can see, it will stick to the magnet. this is an unprocessed dice cube out of the 20's. and

it was controlled by large corporations and run by unions the teamsters on the other side. there was the non-regulated trucking which was called rural trucking exception and this was mostly farmers moving agricultural goods to market now the interstate highway commission was created in order to regulate the regulated market and the corporate but roughly around 1960s corporations like iowa beef. tracking began to use unregulated truckers in order to avoid the expense of the corporate trucking and as they did so more and more goods were shifted to the unregulated side of the market and this is how they were producing cheaper beef and bringing it to the market. but at the same time they were generating a whole new type of culture as truckers as the rural truckers began to expand who were these rural truckers many of them were farmers who had been run out of business by corporate corporatized farmers corporate corporate farming agro business, and they had moved to trucking because that was one area that they could they understood as they did so they created an entire subculture

the international brotherhood of teamsters voting in favor of a resolution to support, fund and supplyearly 96% of union delgsz voted in favor of that resolution. they took a blow in april when workers at a warehouse in alabama overwhelmingly voted down joining the retail, wholesale and department store union. we talked to teamster director for amazon didn't seem concerned about past failures to unionize. >> the workers did a great job of bringing those issues to the forefront, regardless of what the vote outcome in the end, you could each is a very large percentage of the workers that worked at amazon were very concerning as far as how they were being paid, and most importantly, the safety and health conditions happening on the job. amazon's clearly having to respond to that. >> team ssters haven't said how much money or staff they'll devote to the matter and amazon hasn't responded to our request for comment. interesting. people say prime day was more of a pedestrian prime day this year and being replaced by not just anti-trust risk to the house and union risk as well. >> we're talki

so, the teamsters union says it is hoping to push forward plans to unionize amazon ironically, this isess that's just talked about $5.5 billion of revenue on the first day of prime let's move on. let's talk about at&t if there is a little place in hell reserved for the originators of these nuisance calls, i think they should be sent there quickly. at&t saying it is now blocking about a billion robo calls a month. just a reminder, if you do have the digital phone service from at&t, you do need to go in and activate this system yourself. it is well worth doing those calls are enough to drive you crazy. >> the reason we don't answer them >> yeah. whoever figures this out is going to win the carrier award it's the worst thing you can think of geoff, i appreciate that >>> janessa is tracking the dangerous heat rising out west >>> australia tells the n. tu.o back off its great barrier reef. try microban24 bathroom cleaner. simply spray and wipe away to easily dissolve soap scum, and kill 99.9% of viruses and bacteria initially. then reapply and allow to dry on tile to prevent mold and mildew

. >> teamsters >> now the teamsters going nationwide on amazon >> teamsters are tough they're a tough union. i never belonged >> would you have belonged to them >> i belong to one or two unions one i did a wildcat strike it was amazing fired the next day hotel and beverage in philadelphia wildcat strike hank aaron was in. let's teach them the boss a lesson the lesson was i was out of a job immediately. >> don't talk to me about atlanta. i went to the mets game last night. >> this was in 1972. >> oh. all right. >> speaking of the '70s, the feld chair yesterday on the hill talking about the threat of inflation, reiterating his stance that the price increases we're seeing is transitory, says it's very unlikely we'll g back to 1970s' tilstyle inflation. >> you see extremely strong demand for labor, goods, services, and the supply side caught a little flat-footed and trying to catch up also, you have a central bank that's committed to price stability and has, you know, define kwhadwhat it is and has tools to keep us around 2 hearse inflation. all of those things suggest to me that an episo

they think they're suitable for digging ditches being teamsters cook stuff like that. butler doesn't believe it. he thinks they have a lot of stake here and they will fight and he's going to prove it. he's going to have them lead his attack. they're going to cross it deep bottom the same place the last two white lid attacks went. and they're going to succeed with the whites failed proving they can fight. of course this does weaken 18th core and this does have ramifications later. now bernie goes over the night of the 28th. there's a pontoon bridge already there. he crosses over the morning the 29th. they attack a new market heights. they win a victory at new market heights and 14 uscts win the medal of honor. he prepares his men to turn and mark up new market road. the 18th corps has two division commanders george standard and charles heckman and they're very different. charles stanard, i mean george standard is an experienced leader. he fought at gettysburg his troops are the ones that swung out during pickett's charge and fired down armistead's lines. he was wounded

s did as have others, but in 2019, the teamsters were hit with ransomware and they were used to pay and took a totally different approach. what is the difference in these cases? well, i think if you look at the, the, some of the companies haven't paid, and there's been a number that haven't, they don't make the news. because they get back their data, they view, they're backed up correctly, or they, they move forward and, you know, re, you build the data. the problem is a lot of these companies haven't sufficiently backed up their data to cover themselves. if something like this happens in, you know, ip people, security people like me, have been seen for years back up, back up, back up, and make sure that you got backups off site so that they can't be affected. but apparently these companies are doing that, you know, that's the simplest fix to do this. another thing is i think that the government needs to come up with some guidelines on what they need to do. we've done that within the government because if you remember in the mid to thousands how many times the u. s. government was attac

for decades as laborers and they, as you mentioned, some had been employed in the union army as teamsters. but the idea of them bearing arms was new. and not all the military leaders embraced the idea. for those of you watching the grant series on the history channel. in episode two, ulysses s. grant watches an african-american laborer shoot a confederate when its owner is shot dead first, its white soldier. and you see in grant's eyes, this is the way of the future. in fact, grant did not think it was a great idea at first to welcome african-americans into his army. his chief lieutenant william sherman didn't like the idea. general burnside wasn't taken as seriously as those two by that time, did not like the idea. and general mcclennan, who we saw in a tent with lincoln in october of '62, so four months after that petition, basically told lincoln my soldiers are going to fight to restore the union but don't expect us to fight for black freedom because it is not going to happen. which shows you how long of a road had to be marched to get the country and the military, the racist military,

there's 40,000 teamsters are going to get their pensions made whole. made whole, the money from state governors which we will get done. we have people fighting like hell, and they don't want me in the senate, lawrence. mitch mcconnell certainly doesn't. i need everybody's help. pitch in some money and help us get there because this is going to be a decisive election in ohio and we have to make sure the workers are front and center. even donald trump knows that. >> were you surprised that donald trump took you on personally by name so early in this campaign? >> well, you know, i figured he was going to mention me mt i -- i didn't realize he would spend that much time. i gave plenty of shots to donald trump over the last couple years when i disagreed with him. so now he obviously wants to comment on me. but look, all i can focus on, i think the big takeaway here is i am laser focused on workers, economic security, retirement security, their kids' schools, fighting like hell for them. and donald trump spends his time in ohio talking about the past, talkin
