and some of our most critical infrastructure dates back to teddy roosevelt and ulysses s. grant. the costs are economical. that's why we cannot not do this. it's like oh, it's too expensive and, no, it has to get done. >> so you say it has to get done and now it's about sorting out what the price tag will be. it's not just republicans who balked at the price tag of president biden's plan of $2.3 trillion. we know joe manchin said he wants that bill to focus on roads, bridges and the price tag should be lower. so i'm curious how that reality is going to guide your work on an infrastructure bill as you all start to put that together knowing it's going to have to pass in the senate if they don't go with the reconciliation route. >> well, i have to re-authorize service transportation by october 1st. it expires. that is roads, bridges, highways, transit. you know, i'm also -- my bill includes rail. it also includes the first significant federal investment, wastewater. we haven't re-authorized the federal wastewater program since 1988, and we have sewers backed up into peoples homes. w

in september 1864 with his army stalemated in a siege at petersburg, virginia ulysses s. grant approved of a plan by general benjamin butler to take two union corps north of the james river for an attack on richmond while union troops succeeded in capturing a key confederate defensive position in the battle of fort harrison their leaders failed to press their gains and perhaps missed an opportunity to seize the confederate capital and richmond remained in confederate hands for the next six months next author, doug. krenshaw recounts, the planning execution and fighting that led to fort harrison's fall. this talk was part of a symposium hosted by the emerging civil war blog. filipinos have fought alongside us troops since the occupation of the philippines in 1898 up next christopher capozzola gives the history of this partnership and describes the importance of a pacific base for us military expansion into asia in two hours on lectures in history. virginia tech professor jessica taylor teaches a class about trade relationships between english colonists and native peoples in virg

then like ulysses s grant, when he went to west point, his name officially changed. it was then that he reversed the order to dwight david eisenhower. that's became the name that is now so well-known. abilene, kansas was an interesting town. wasn't only sort of a generation removed from its big passed a wild past. they had cattle drives up the trail, wild bill he cocked have been the city marshal at one point. yet gunfights and everything that goes along with the cow town. and eisenhower absorbed and really enjoyed that history. coincidentally, 1890 the year he was born, was also the year that the american frontier was declared closed. you had eisenhower coming into the world, at this transition in american history. from this open frontier, to moving to a more industrialized age. there's great symmetry in his life. he was born in the year where the frontier was declared closed. so you could see it is broad range of history of eisenhower embodied, and hit the creation of nasa and he helped create that. and the foundation also, the foundation or the frontier rather, th

likely ulysses s. grant, when he went to west point, he reversed the order from david dwight eisenhower and became dwight david eisenhower and became the name that's now so well-known. abilene is an interesting town. it was only about not even a generation removed from its sort of wild cow town past. abilene is the terminus of the chisolm trail, you have the great history of the massey cattle drives to kansas. wild bill hickok had been the city marshal at one time, you had gunfights and everything that goes along with a cow town. eisenhower absorbed and enjoyed that history. 1890, the year he was born, coincidentally was the year that the american frontier was declared closed. you had eisenhower coming into the world at this transition in american history from this open frontier, moving into a more industrialized age. in fact there's great symmetry in his life. he was born the year the frontier was declared closed and died the year that americans landed on the moon. so you can see this really broad range of

and that is exactly what he comes up against when ulysses s. grant comes east the two of them are like two titanics meeting in battle. the union army is still going to be bleeding out as well. believe me. they lost 17,000 men here, but they're able to replace their losses time and a time again though after this battle. we're gonna see a large number of officers wounded for the for the union army. they're not the focus of this study, but we'll see a number of their general officers fall nine confederate officers. general officers were fall some will come back only to be killed and future campaigns. and then the union army will lose about 33,000 men between chancellorsville and gettysburg to enlistments expiring two years and nine months. this will finally start to put the unit and confederate armies back on an equal ish footing as lee. on may 7th of 1863 starts to reorganize his army. that's at principal continuity. keep the campaign going. and he wants to go north and he wants to keep the applying the pressure against the union army the problem that

lee the confederate general and ulysses s. grant the union general are hammering each other in virginia and many of you are probably from this area of virginia starting around fredericksburg. they pushed down to petersburg to me in the spring and summer of 1864 and this is a very bloody period of the war this is known as the overland campaign the union army loses. i think some 50 to 60,000 men during about a period of a month. i mean these casualties statistics are almost unfathomable for us today. now in in the past when a battle had happened, usually there would have been a break in the fighting and then maybe a month or two later they would fight again, but what grant does is he keeps pushing forward and forward and forward fighting a battle losing fighting again the next day. now ultimately grant gets stuck at petersburg and he lays siege to lee's army. and with all of these casualties and with all of this death the northern public begins to become very weary. and lincoln starts to wonder. if maybe he won't be reelected. because

enormous consequences for this country the last person to fight a civil war in this country, ulysses s. grantouth over the mason/dixon line, it would be between patriotism and intelligence on one side and ignorance and superstition on the other. the question for every republican in america today is, where do i stand? >> where do your former colleagues stand? somewhere does your former boss john kellie stand or jim mattis? where do your former colleagues who nose better than any human beings on the planet know how rosin to the core trumpism in? >> you've named some people, many of whom i hope will speak up. i would use this appian to encourage them and urge them for the sake of the country to stand up and say what they've said before in private. what we'll be announcing tomorrow is what you could call in shorthand, an "i'm not crazy" coalition. we're going to announce a group of republicans who saying we want rational pragmatic governance, but we're making a threat. that threat is if the gop doesn't fix its act this enwe're going to hasten the creation of an alternative. >> eugene daniels, i t
