[laughter] arsenic we put adam next year so he would go first. >> too bad for you. >> i want to say first thanks to everyone from the base organizations and for putting this together. i love having a platform from which i can shamelessly promote the form of an estate series. for those of you not aware of it or have never heard of it it is the official documentary history of u.s. foreign relations. it is arguably the largest transparency project in the world. we have published hundreds of thousands of documents from 1861 to cover it right we are currently doing george h.w. bush. reagan appeared is what we are publishing. it is a series we have a published hundreds of thousands of documents when you hear abo

of its land was lost, and this is a story that continues to this day. foreign students from american universities had tehran university of medical sciences, which was run under the supervision of the university of virginiand pennsylvania in the summer of 1958. most iranian doctors in pakistan did not train enough doctors for the country's needs since before the revolution . bangladeshi, pakistani and indian doctors were competing in this competition when i was there. click iran now can you tell me what kind of hand is the best sajid in the world that we are not only an importer of medicine, dentistry and pharmaceuticals , but also a dentist and 2 animals for other countries who are studying with farsi radio, radio radio ski, 2100 medical students from 69 countries of the world from iraq . they are from india, they are from pakistan, even after the european countries, we have students in different fields in our country, including medicine and pharmacy, tehran university of medical sciences has 1411 international students, apart from the income of the students, it has raised the university's rank in international forums, 1400 my income from the place of students international passed the number of four mil

joining us now is the us political scientist and director of the center for politics at the university of virginia of domestic issues to discuss but his speech comes after the alleged chinese spy balloon incident, and of course the war in ukraine. with the 2024 presidential campaigns set to get started soon, how crucial a moment is this for president biden? it's the largest audience that he will have all year in all probability. it's an opportunity he can't afford to mosque. president sometimes do well and gain points and sometimes they do poorly and lose points. it is early and march is going to happen in this year and next year as well before the election. i think it's particularly critical for election. i think it's particularly criticalfor biden election. i think it's particularly critical for biden because election. i think it's particularly criticalfor biden because he and the democrats in the last two years actually accomplish a great deal by any objective standard. what's amazing is that the american public, including a lot of democrats and most independents don't recognise what's been don

metro was obviously let off by this liberal judge and the area where the university of virginia is, andudge is doing in the january 6 cases where misdemeanors. a couple of misdemeanors and you are locked away for a year plus. unbelievable. >> yeah. this example, these two comparisons right there, perfectly epitomize what happens when we have self-serving politicians who weaponize law enforcement, undermine the rule of law to advance their own selfish political ambitions. not only do we see how this makes us less safe in our communities and our country, we see the dangerous consequent's of how they directly undermine our democracy which is based on the rule of law. so when you have these politicians and these people, judges weaponizing for their own selfish interests, we lose our democracy peer there are regardless ofwhat political parn we should all be very concerned with this because it sets the precedence that whatever political party may take charge or be in power in the future, this is now the norm where they weaponize law enforcement to advance their interests against the interests

and the same thing happened at the university of virginia law school. either the letter was intercepted or it went to joe. and then he then referred it to ted. but it was it was it was not like, you know, ted took the sats and filled out the applications and asked mom, dad for a $50 check. so the entered into the sweepstakes, get into harvard. it was all done at that higher and and one of the letters that they sent joe said, you know what, while it's rare to happen every once in a while something happens to one of our students and either for character reasons or school tastic reasons, and we have to we have to deal with it. if there's anything, you know, tell us now and we'll like build some barriers around it and it sounded to me like they were looking at his academic record, which was less than distinguished because he'd had a very cold childhood and his parents had shipped him around to nine different schools and cluding boarding school at the age of seven. and so he was not the greatest scholar. and they seemed to be saying, you know, okay, joe, we'

seven, which was just published by the university of virginia press. and which had its origins in a come front sponsored by the sons of the revolution in 2019. participants then and authors here. and the others who were part of this journal or this volume all got together to discuss how women fought the that is fought for, fought against and fought in it. they explored women's involvement with military forces and their actions in defense of their persons and property, whether on the home front or the battlefield. in fact, we could ask and all of us have to consider is really was there much of a differentiation between home front and battlefront. if army were marching through one's community. indeed they weren't. they were marching through boston. they were occupying boston and they were in new york city and occupying new york. they marched through williamsburg to head yorktown. so war came to women and women went to war. so we are looking at that and contemplating what that meant in all of this. so we welcome continuing this discussion with you today as

what you do and how you interact and what stories ndyou tell this comes from us both being university of virginia alumni and it's wonderful to be here. i don't want to say we are an incestuous community because that's not the case there are a lot of us who worked together in the past. mark lawrence and i have been at history conferences, work with him the tally but what i just really enjoyed about this conference is unlike, and i speak as one who doesn't author social media, we're not in and an chamber where not reiterating that's my problem to. instead i think i've learned a great deal from my colleagues that have spoken about this. our role is both similar and dissimilar to adam's and john's role. for one thing i'm not a dod historian. i've been on quite a few documentaries and even though i told them it never translates into any of that name i'm often called the pentagon historian but in actuality, i suppose i could be called a historian to the office of the secretary of defense. each military service program has historian and those programs are much larger than mine. the joint chiefs of staff

i have debates about this with my good friend at the university of virginia, who would be a real good person to sit in on one of these sessions. i think the problem here is that china is -- and i really want to hear more on what paul said because i think this is the nature -- i actually agree with paul that china is not looking for an opportunity to use military force against taiwan. my fear is -- my concern is that their goal -- their express goals but also what they are structurally, naturally looking into, which is great power hegemony over their region basically, is only attainable by military force, and they will work out that logic. taiwan is not going to fall into their lap. the only way to get there is military force, and they will come to that conclusion in my view is they probably already have. i don't think there's any reason to think we are smarter than they are. so i think that that -- and this is, i think, a fundamental -- and i mean, i think paul -- this is kind of the right debate to have. i don't want to put you in a box, but my approach is sort of deductive and struc

he is a two-time graduate of the university of virginia. following his time at both uva as an undergrad and uva law, jamar began his career in public service, clerking for the honorable raymond jackson in the eastern district of virginia, whose same seat is actually, if we approve him tonight, nominated to -- nominated to fill. he has dedicated his professional career in the u.s. attorney's office for the eastern district of virginia, where he serves as the financial chief of the financial crime unit. his ability to try complex cases, jamar was received five service awards from the fbi for his be excellent work in public corruption, wire fraud and bank fraud cases. his commitment to the commonwealth expands far beyond his day job. he has volunteered for countless trials and speaks out on guest panels. he will be the first openly gay federal district judge in virginia. his community-oriented mind-set and numerous accolades makes him an exceptional nominee for the eastern district of virginia, a district that is known as the rocket docket in t

>> i think it can be amended and i cite, there is a law professor at the university of virginia, her at she calls a duty of care where platforms would have -- would enjoy immunity only if they can prove that they took reasonable steps to address the abuse that persists on these platforms. that way if -- they would provide them a legal incentive to design content moderation practices. if they don't, then they end up in court and really that's i think with me, with the gonzalez family and countless others, that's what we want to see. the algorithms and behavior of social media companies changed. they can do it, they have the tools to do it and the technology to do it but they don't. as francis haugen, the facebook whistleblower testified a year and a half ago said they profit from it. she validated what i have been saying for seven years. >> dana: why the companies don't do something on their own, why it has to be taken to court to get done. give you the final word here. >> well, you know, they -- it is -- whether it's social media or car companies that wouldn't put seat belts in, unles

are both from harvard, and he has an mba from the university of virginia. so without any further ado, i would present to you, tom paine. he's been. well, thank you, john, for that. the generous introduction in the next 50 minutes or so, i want to share with you the story of massachusetts little known founding father robert treat paine. the four times my four times great grandfather. i will focus on the highlights, the milestones of his life that found him again and again in the room, an important moments in our nation's formative years and earned him the title in his day of, quote, a friend to the rights of mankind. i grew up in a house in weston, a little town north of here, where a facsimile copy of the declaration of independence hung on the wall just outside the powder room. a wonderful term for a lavatory that originated in the era when patriots wore were powdering their wigs. anyhow, in this document were the truly big wigs of their day and right now and right below samuel adams and john adams signatures and the biggest of the bunch was the signature

conversation, jim townsend, ambassador steven mole, and vice provos for global affairs at the university of virginia victoria fran francesco soto, and douglas brinkley, presidential historian and a profession of history at rice university. how significant do you see this visit being for the president and for ukraine? >>. >> well, it's an electrifying development not only for ukraine but also for the entire region for an american president to go into an active war zone is just extraordinary is and unprecedented in history. the visit will inspire people and raise morale throughout the region, especially in ukraine. it doesn't change the tough odds the ukrainians are facing against a very strong and determined and brutal russian foe, obviously the military assistance the president announced will be very helpful. >> so jim, let's talk about that. there has been so much military and civilian assistance by the united states and certainly by nato allies towards ukraine in this year of war. this is going to continue for some time. how strong is the determination of the u.s. and of its allies to continue sup

entering into the university of virginia school of law. i take great umbrage with that suggestion.i am going to suggest that we have some problems that need to be fixed. professor fredrickson, it is good to see you. you have been before a committee before. i have already heard from the distinguish gentleman, mr. paoletta. it should be well noted that we do have a factual basis -- presently, before this committee, that the wife of a justice was actively engaged in january 6th. in terms of advocacy in other aspects of her participation -- for me, that strikes at the core of creating a more perfect union. the upholding of the constitution, that is a response ability of the united states supreme court. that that be very clear. ethics bounds us all. we walk in ethics. most aspects american interaction or corporate access sometimes they follow it or not. there are ethics on school boards. ethics in the university of virginia, having its own internal student judicial system. people believe that you shouldn't hear to the truth. let me first, quickly, go to reverend schenck and thank you fo

iranian universities were managed under the supervision of american universities, this is tehran university of medical sciences, where until 1958 under the supervision of the university virginia and pennsylvania were administered by an iranian doctor. for a few days, most pakistani-bangladeshi colleges did not train enough doctors for the country's needs, that's why bangladeshi-pakistani and indian doctors practiced medicine in iran . we are not the only importer of dental medicine and pharmaceuticals, but we also train dentists and pharmacists for other countries . what are you doing here? tired of love and self-determination in the middle east. my butler is from your university. 7100 medical students from 69 countries study from the country. they are from iraq, they are from india, they are from pakistan, after the european countries , we have students in our country in various fields, including medicine, dentistry, pharmacy . launched by an iraqi at the beginning of the establishment of the hospital, next to the teaching hospital , it was possible for tehran university of medical sciences to get assistantships in the international branch of specialized courses, according t

let off by this liberal metro was obviously let off by this liberal judge in the area where university of virginiacounty, and then what this judge is doing in the january six cases were misdemeanors, like a couple of misdemeanors. and you're locked away for a year plus. unbelievable. yeah, yeah, it is law.eah. i think this this example,, thes those twe o comparisons right there perfectly epitomize what happens when we have self-serving politicians who weaponizes law enforcementme undermine the rule of law, all to advance their own selfisho ws political ambitions. not only do we seeee how this makes us less safe in our communities and in our country, but we also see the very dangerous consequences of how they are directly ofg our democracy, which is based on the rule of law. so whe n we have these politicians and these people, judges in some cases who are weaponizes law and the rule of law for their own selfish interests, we undermine the rule of law.y peer t we lose, we lose our democracy. the ramifications of this ar very serious and long lasting.t and regardless of whatpa political party we're i

researching our hindu triangle had a great a very good book on nat turner scott french at the university of virginia, had a chance to meet with him. he was a historian. kent kenneth greenberg. and i got to start getting idea maybe i could put this information together and present it and some of the schools in the area, when they found out about it, they asked me to start coming to make presentations like i did at the high school or at some of the colleges and universities. and so it like a an accidental step into. but i made sure that try to make sure that the information was all and are your kids carry that down now let's talk a bit about that to a certain degree. i mean, they are not taking it on as like as much as i would like for them. well, you're still active, but i'm still active. yeah, i'm i'm still here. they have never lived on the farm. we still own our farm that we've had since the 1880s. they go back that far and the farm only about five miles from where nat turner originally. so that's how i knew about growing up in it. and so i'm faced with the dilemma that i have this property that i

i also want to thank the marching back -- marching band of virginia state university. ering] and of course thanks to duwayne who you just heard from. i am sure you did not have a chance to check out delaware state, but howard is a good school. i am only the guy who had the president of a divine nine school work for me, and he got his doctors while working for me, and he went off and became a president. you may be president one day, here is the one commitment i want from you, and that is when they say, joe biden, you promised me when i say, joe, move. [laughter] as duwayne just referenced, we recently held a screening of the movie "till." it is important for the entire country to hear that history matters, and black history matters. i cannot just choose to learn what we want to know, but we learn what we should know. we have to learn everything, the good, the bath -- the bad, the truth, and that is what a great nation does. that is why the great historian carter g woodson, dean of howard university, more than 100 years ago had a purpose. he thought there would be a -- th

nene-year-old black american man by that name in previously unexplored records of the university -- of the virginia penitentiary. which helps explain why henry was forced to do this work in the first place. railroad work was escalating after the end of the civil war. the southern landscape was devastated by the war, and 4 million african americans were now free. but the south, as well as the entire nation, had a big problem. finding a replacement for the huge free labor force called slavery. in short, lots of industries needed cheap labor for the tough jobs, the inhumane, dangerous work of physically building american industry. the 13th amendment may have freed black people from bondage, but it also provided a loophole. slavery and involuntary servitude were banished except for those who had been convicted of committing a crime. enter convict labor. where imprisoned americans could literally be leased to industries who needed workers. the prison convict leasing system of involuntary servitude filled the labor supply shortage in the southern plantations and in growing businesses like the railroad mo
