thomas: no.ut a white woman from georgia in the 1950 in charge of a black unit, that is what you expect to happen. brian: talking about in your last word that you wrote, at least in your column, creative services? thomas: creative syndicate. brian: you say the first column i ever wrote 39 years ago -- and you wrote this at the end of 2016 -- was titled the province of doom. this was before -- the prophets of doom. long before al gore made millions of dollars promoting global warming hysteria. back in 1970, the prevailing hysteria was the threat of a new ice age, promoted by some of the same environmentalists were promoting local warming hysteria today. thomas: it was published in the old washington star. it went out of business some years ago. hopefully not as a result of my column. "pink and book called people" of my columns published by the hoover institution in the 1980's. it is in there. whether that book is still in print, i don't know. brian: when you wrote your last column, did you go back

thomas: i'm sorry. what i would -- the first thing i would say is that we feel that we're not optimaly organized, trained or equipped to meet the emerging operational environment. one of the things that's occurred over the past 15 years is the change of threat capabilities. while we have overmatch in most areas, we are seeing in some cases that our potential adversaries are developing capabilities that rival and, in a few cases, exceed on you own. -- our own. where we would -- the capability gaps that we have seen or -- are largely in terms of force protection first. if you look at some of our current vehicles, they no longer are adequate for the types of threats that they face in terms of protecting our marines. vehicles or programs like the joint light tactical vehicle begins to get at that threat. new technologies like active protection systems will assist us in going up against counterarmor capability. the other challenge that we face in terms of capability gaps is an emerging u.a.s. threat. we have

to that end, general thomas, lieutenant general thomas, it is my understanding the marine corps has been working on developing body armor that provide better fit and coverage for female marines. there was some concerns that the marine corps was just developing more sizes rather than developing female-specific body armor. can you update the subcommittee on what approach the marine corps is taking and where we are in terms of getting these body armors to our female marines? lieutenant general thomas: thank you, congressman. the marine corps is providing high-quality force protection in -- for all of its service members in terms of form, fit and function. and regardless of gender, one of the policy changes that have been made in terms -- previously made in terms of how we, you know, build our force protection equipment, we used to have sizes that would only be from five percentile to the 95 percentile of marines writ large. the new policy is down to the two percentile female on one end of the spectrum all the way up to the 98 percentile male. and the reason i highlight the male in this case

thomas? >> all right, well, that would be a deep tease in news, kelly. and for judge jeanine to hit the speaker for his swagger is very interesting, indeed. kelly o'donnell at the white house. great to see you, kelly. >> reporter: you bet. >> thank you very much. annie linskey is national correspondent for "boston globe," and ozzie faybar, senior reporter for "politico." great to have you both here. annie, let me begin with you, with judge jeanine saying president trump had no idea that she would be calling for ryan's resignation, kelly saying that the press secretary also kind of sent her off in a different direction, saying this was not a coordinated type of thing. but is there any other reason that you're hearing from sources that the president -- >> i think particularly with this trump administration, i think it's pretty clear that perhaps trump heard from some other source what was going to be said on that show, but it's inconceivable to me that he would tweet that out and it just happen

thomas: do we really have to why does he have shrubs and we don't?"re you to me. ♪ ♪ terre: welcome back to "big problems, big thinkers." i am terreir. after the near collapse of global markets, former federal reserve chairman alan greenspan said, "no two crises have anything in common except human nature." and that is where we pick up with pulitzer prize-winning journalist thomas friedman. what part did we as individuals play in what went wrong? what can we do better? thomas: when someone comes to you, selling you a home mortgage, and telling you the only thing they need to do is check if you can fog up a knife, and not show your income statement, that is a pretty good sign that it sounds too good to be true. it usually is. also, should we really have to pass a law that tells bankers, "you cannot give a loan to someone who cannot pay it back?" i mean, do we need to pass a law to do that? so people were doing such manifestly obviously unsustainable things because they always thought, what i call ibg or ybg, i will be gone or you will gone. i will do t

george h thomas. we talk about him because he is the rock of this battle. >> he is an interesting guy. the rock of chickamauga. he is interesting in a couple of ways. he is a virginian by earth, he stays loyal to the union. that also creates a certain amount of suspicion to those who are willing to be suspicious that his heart is made up fully in it. atsaves the union army chickamauga. when everybody else was fleeing, he holds firm, it is his stand that allows the rest of the army to get away and fortify themselves in chattanooga. if it was not for that stand, they would have fled to chicago. that's was very much to his credit. he was loyal to rosecrans. he dubbed the way rosecrans was cast aside and grant coming in was disgraceful. when grant arrived, leg wounded, cold, he comes into the headquarters and because he is temporarily in command and he is -- and thomas is kind of abrupt. he does not say general you need a blanket. none of that. right away there was a tension that emerged between the two o

i'm thomas roberts.s from the new president accusing the former president of wiretapping his home at trump tower in new york city at some point before the november election. donald trump making these allegations in a series of tweets around 6:30 this morning. this is of course happening amid the controversy surrounding attorney general jeff sessions and his meetings with the russian ambassador that he didn't confirm during his senate confirmation hearings to become the attorney general. joining me now is senator ben cardin, ranking member of the foreign relations committee, and senator cardin has not decided whether sessions should recuse or resign. so, senator, based on what we know of these tweets from donald trump, your first reaction, and do you have any information about whether or not this is true, that president obama was interested in using the fisa courts to wiretap trump tower? >> thomas, first of all, this is an interesting development, the use of tweets by the president. the bottom line is th

>> hey, thomas. well, 24 hours after that remarkable tweet storm by the president of the united states, we still don't have clarity on whether he was simply repeating unsubstantiated reports in the conservative media or whether he was actually briefed on something that led him to believe there was secret surveillance in trump tower. and if the latter is true, just to remind folks, it wouldn't be as trump described it, that president obama order a wiretap. it would be that a federal judge found probable cause that somebody in trump tower was acting as an agent of a foreign power. so, that would be remarkable. it would be a scandal. it would also be remarkable if the president of the united states made that allegation without any evidence, lent the weight of his office to that allegation based on unsubstantiated reports in the conservative media. and i want to remind people, the president is the ultimate declassification authority. he can take any piece of secret information in the government and decid

>> i think it is, thomas.ing back from that, devin nunes really threw a stink bomb into the entire house intelligence committee investigation into trump/russia ties. he came out and told reporters he'd seen dozens of intelligence reports reflecting that trump and his aides were monitored by u.s. intelligence, and he did that without consulting the democrats on the committee and he went to the white house and informed president trump about this and then trump immediately said he felt somewhat vindicated over his bogus claim that obama wiretapped him. even though nunes is saying that never happened. then on friday a you said, it emerges that nunes is really only saying he's aware of reports foreigner to foreigner speaking about donald trump and his aides. and that's routine stuff. that's the nsa intercepting conversations where foreigners are speaking about americans. that happens every day. there's no scandal there. but what it has done is it's outraged democrats who really believe that nunes cannot lead a fair

grant orders thomas to attack missionary ridge. tell us about thomas' reaction. i gather he is not too eager to do it. >> the more complicated than that. this is one of the great controversies of the civil war. what did grant really say and what did he really want to see of his other generals? it is clear if you read what grant is saying that he wants sherman on the right flank to capture tunnel hill and get up, which means he will be on top of seminary ridge. then turn and move right down the line. ooker who shows up because of lincoln sending him by train very quickly -- >> this is the secretary of war. >> the idea is that hooker will take the hill and then he is going to turn and come this way. what happens is, of course, sherman, when he attacks the confederates and some guy named there that craig's written a good book about. i think it is his best book. who knows. the book is better than the general. >> 30 years ago. [laughter] attacksy case, sherman and he thinks he has gotten tunnel hill. thishe does not realize is is amazing because sherman is good with g

thomas? >> kelly o'donnell at the white house, who is the best i the business and such a good tap dancern a snd morning when i throw a wild fastball at your head. >> reporter: i thought we were talking about the intruder at the white house, so i'm sorry, thomas. there's a lot of topics. >> a lot of topics, but the intruder who got close, they were able to apprehend him, correct? give us a quick 30 seconds on that. >> reporter: yes. he jumped over a fence here. that's a very serious issue. was able to get from the front side of the white house all the way to the back, attempted to get toward the south portico entrance of the white house, which would have allowed him inside the building if he were able to do that. he was stopped there, carrying a backpack. he had mace. he also had some things that are interesting to tell us about his thinking. he had a book written by donald trump. he had a letter he wrote to the president. there was no incident in arresting him. he didn't put up any resistance

i'm glad to know that you think that my -- or carl sandburg couldn't read or write or that thomas wilkes couldn't read or write, were all writers of north carolina. and so i really come it frustrated me a lot and i really wanted an opportunity to share our rich literary heritage with people. the first stop on our tour today's good to be the dixie grill. wilmington has played host to a lot of the sitting letters over the years and one of our most notable is to eliminate arthur miller. you might've heard of him. he won the pulitzer prize and is probably one of his most famous place was the crucible. we know arthur miller came to wilmington at least twice. the first time when we came to to wilmington was during the 1930s. he and tennessee williams both went to university of michigan by writing program at the both got jobs working for the works progress administration, federal arts of administration during the depression. tennessee being tennessee decide he would head off on a bicycle and the venture, but arthur miller has been very arthur miller like new england and strain, i signed up for

i think thomas -- thomas in a sense, speaking to -- to the right of -- or to your left, i guess, my right of scalia, but thomas in a way was even ahead of scalia on some of the reforms that we're talking about here, this is one example and i think we're going to see more of that, and it is too bad that justice scalia is not around because he was, as i said, that great line in the e pa case involving the well known program of pse, we're not going to sit out anybody on the docket and watch the forge of discovery, it is a pretty good indication of blowing the whistle. >> my own view is that as boyd indicated in the official remarks, it makes sense if there had been a delegation. i think where chevron bumps up against separation of power in the way judge gorsuch indicated is when you talk about pure questions of law. i don't see any reason why from a separation of powers perspective a judge would interpret a statute to mean what it doesn't say because it is a reasonable interpretation that a politically motivated executive branch agency endorses, particularly since the apa itself says that qu

thomas dixon dit a -- did a lot of things and one of them is wrote senational love stories. you don't remember them from the books but because those two books became birth of a nation and the first film screened at the white house. thomas called woodrow and said i made a movie and he said come over and show it to me and that is how that happened. i think a lot of people are amazed at how much material we cover. i don't really think they are prepared for it all. we are stressing to get it in under two hours. so the next stop is the historic hall. a beautiful antebellum house built to be theater and our municipal building. we don't have a lot of lecture series in the 20th century. ted talks is probably the closest but it was expected in the past you would go hear experts speak on a topic for 45 minutes to two hours. among the many people who came to lecture at the hall was oscar wild, the importance of being earnest. fredrick douglas and booker t washington spoke here. something else we like to talk about at this point in the tour t is one of my favorite playrights. william ri

so as i say, i think thomas is -- thomas, in a sense, speaking to the right of -- or to your left, to my right of the scalia clerk, thomas, in a way, was even ahead of scalia on some of the reforms that we're talking about here. this is one example. i think we're going to see more of that. it's too bad justice scalia is not around, because he was -- as i said, that great mind, in the epa case, involveing t well-known program of psd, we're not going to sit idly by on the on aand watch epa embark discovery is a pretty good indication of blowing the whistle. view, as boyd indicated initial remarks deference in certain circles makes sense if there's been a delegation. i think where chevron bump understand against separation of powers judge gorsuch indicated talking about questions of law. i don't see any reason why from a separation of powers perspective a judge would interpret a statute what it doesn't say because it's a reasonable interpretation a politically motivated executive agency endorses particularly since the epa itself says questions of law should be decided by the judiciary, n

all right, mike thomas what's going on.t's cold outside but it's going to get better. >> cold outside. te good weather coming in and guess what, more importantly for the weekend, 70's, 70's back for your seven day. today we got some good weather to look forward to and it starts this afternoon but not yet because temperatures outside right now on the chilly side. satellite and radar showing clear skies to start but clouds will quickly build in from the west and then you see some showers scooting into eastern -- western portions of pennsylvania and west virginia. those will arrive in a scattered isolated nature later on this morning and into the early afternoon hours as well. very hit and miss and they won't last too long. once they get through we'll get warmer air in here and start getting rid of this cold. 37 degrees at reagan national, 34 at dulles. bwi is at 31 trees this morning. here's your planner for the day today t46 by 11:00 a.m., that's the best chance for showers right around that time. by the afternoon we're stil

lincoln's father, thomas lincoln, had been a poor dirt farmer in kentucky. he had been cut out of the family inheritance. his stepbrother had taken it all and wound up being a quasi-aristocratic. thomas had terrible luck. he was reduced to competing for wages with slaves. his dirt farm was expropriated from him, probably through chicanery, philadelphia banker who owned the land and manipulated it. he fled kentucky. he fled a slave economy in which he was on the lower rung and fled to the free territory of indiana. from then on he rented out abraham as a wage -- as an indentured servant until the age of 21. which was legal. he took all his wages and he sent him out as a labor of all kinds. lincoln was -- the opening like ne of my book was he was remarkably reticent about his life and understandably so. lincoln, when he emerged with his identity, his new identity as a republican in 1856, he makes a kind of joke. it is the kind of joke that is a freudian joke. there was no freud then but it was freudian.

, and yet justice thomas was confirmed with 52 votes. not a single democrat demanded a filibuster. any individual democrat could have demanded a 60-vote threshold for justice thomas. ted kennedy did not demand a 60-vote threshold for justice thomas. he was confirmed with a simple majority. that, if the democrats make the ill-advised decision to filibuster next week, will be the rule to which we return, the rule that's governed the senate and supreme court nominations for two centuries. senator grassley: i guess that's the end of it then. thank you all very much. senator cruz: thank you.

and irishmen named thomas nash. whether jonathan robbins or thomas nash, such was the political firestorm in the united states over his surrender that thomas jefferson aired upon hearing of his execution that no one circumstance since the establishment of our government has affected the popular mind more. not only did the ghost of jonathan robbins immortalized by jefferson and the emergent republican party as a freedom fighter against british tyranny greatly influenced the tumultuous presidential election of the 1800s. it also helped to shape the young republics identity. how americans viewed themselves and how they and vision of the country's larger destiny. the fact that robbins may indeed have been the irish ringleader, thomas nash -- ultimately they became irrelevant. more important than most americans than his birthplace were his republican convictions, republican with a small r. thereby encouraging with unprecedented power a broader definition of a citizenship and national identity based on belief and on volit
