virginia knows a bit more then virginia on the last phone media about the politics of west virginia,manchin is from farmington, a town of 545 people which is not so small by west virginia standards. virginia writes, if you live in hollows and small towns tucked into nearly impassable mountains, it's still an ordeal just to get electricity and newspapers, and forget about cable, tv, wi-fi and the memes that come with those things. rural west virginians are less beholden to, and also left served by, utilities, a dominant culture and governments. this stranded in this looks dangerous to many. two others, including plenty in my family, it looks like freedom. as she watches senator joe manchin navigate his powerful position in a 50/50 senate, virginia have vernon rights, manchin is never going to look like a california democrat. but he doesn't look like a california republican either. it's almost say that as a politician, he's non-binary. joining us now is virginia have ridden, political communist for the los angeles time and host of the podcast, after trump. also joining us, someone who

the conference was co-hosted by the virginia museum of history and culture and preservation virginia. >> it's now my great pleasure to introduce kenneth adams. as was mentioned earlier today, chief adams serves on preservation board of trustees. it was at his urging that this symposium came to be. he served as a strong advocate for the federal recognition, and in the leadup of 2007, chief adams participated in the jamestown 2007 steering committee and activities associated with the commemoration. and i can say that we spent a lot of time together. he brought the lack of a permanent memorial on the virginia capitol grounding, as did other tribal leaders, to the attention of governor kaine, resulting in the formation of the virginia indian commemorative commission in 2018. chief adams has generously dedicated himself to numerous causes and organizations across the commonwealth, and it's an honor to introduce chief adams.

a member of the virginia house of delegates. he was part of the commonwealth's delegation to the first continental congress when the second congress determined to name a commander. to lead the continental army, washington nominated by john adams was called to serve on june 15th 1755. now while the general gets to know his army, let's take a step back for a moment and consider james monroe. james monroe's road to revolution began with his birth on april 28th 1758 dispense and elizabeth monroe. while the holdings that were originally secured by andrew monroe were not as large or as prosperous as those of their neighbors the washingtons and some of their other neighbors as well the family live comfortably and were able to send their eldest son to one of the best local schools campbelltown academy and then to the college of william and mary monroe in world enrolled at william and mary in june of 1774 like many of his classmates he was soon caught up in revolutionary fervor. he was part of a group of students who sees arms from the g

the commonwealth of virginia had his remains taken and brought to virginia.lijah his daughter is actually buried in paris. when they created the two, the birch birdcage it's a familiar landmark if you will if you have or been there. this is an 1865. that's a photograph, scene there and for the first time since its creation, the tomb has been restored. and has been going through an extensive process, of refurbishment in which almost Ñ iron has been replaced. and i'm hopeful, that it will be ready in time for monroe's birthday observance coming up this april. because he desperately needed work to save this treasure. over the years, james munroe has been memorialized in many ways. from commemorative coins, postage stamps, a crackerjack price, in the upper right. symbols of education, and of military might. he ranks near the top in the number of places named for u.s. presidents. and as we observed, is the only american from a foreign capital. in 1927, monroe's great granddaughter, rose -- and her son, saved a billion safety billy building for demolition and charl

we need to bring manufacturing to west virginia and eastern kentucky and southwestern virginia, jobs that are currently being done by somebody else in the world at low pay. that is why it is happening. because somebody in the world will pay somebody else less. are we in the business of chasing after the cheapest job we can find in this country? we can do better than that. let's bring those jobs to appalachia and pay a decent wage for people to support their families. we desperately need those jobs. sen. manchin: can i add onto that? lisa: absolutely. sen. manchin: everybody is talking about e.v. do you know we don't produce any of the rare earth minerals or very little of any rare earth minerals that it takes to make a battery? we depend on other sources in the world, and basically the people are being enslaved in parts of the world in order to get the resources that we seem to be, out of sight out of mind and say, we have an electric vehicle. it is a shame we are going down this path, but we have made no provisions at all to manufacture and basically have the resources that it takes

the conference was co-hosted by the virginia museum of history and culture and preservation, virginia. it's now my great pleasure to introduce chief emeritus kenneth adams. as was mentioned earlier today chief adam serves on preservation virginia's board of trustees, and it was at his urging that the symposium came to be. chief adams served as a strong advocate for the wrecking of the federal recognition of the upper mattapani. and in the lead up to 2007 chief adams actively participated in the jamestown 2007 steering committee and the activities associated with the commemoration and i can say that we spend a lot of time together at various events around the state his leadership and persistence ensured that the commemorative events reflected the perspective of the indigenous people their culture and their governance long before the ships arrived at jamestown as steve pointed out. he brought the lack of a permanent memorial on the virginia capital grounds as did other tribal leaders to the attention of governor cain and delegate peace resulting in the formation of the virginia indian c

in some cases, it's very well alive here in virginia. indigenous people continue to suffer from the effects of the doctrine of discovery, which came about in 1452 or 1453 from the catholic church through the pope's edict to claim that all peoples across the planet were available to be taken or available to be killed, were available to be annihilated, and so it happened. and when the first british ships came to virginia in 1607, they knew full well, by planting the flag of great britain, that they were claiming this land for the united kingdom. england, as it was known then. and yesterday today, we still, some of us, still suffer from the effects of the planting of the english flag in 1607 at jamestown. when the british first came, they were hungry. they didn't have any food. so what did they do? they started going out and locating the indian towns, the small indian towns, and stealing their corn, stealing their fields of corn. and the ones they didn't steal, the corn they didn't steal, they destroyed so that the indian people that were l

but washington's demeanor changed when the subject turned to virginia politics. he requested -- "he requested me to read him the debates of the virginia assembly on the election of a senator and a governor. and hearing mr. madison's observations, respecting mr. munro, he appeared much affected and spoke with some degree of asperity on the subject." what prompted washington's asperity regarding james monroe? shown here standing behind the general in emanuel leutze's glorious but profoundly inaccurate painting, "washington crossing the delaware." how did these two virginians who hailed from the same region and whose families were acquainted over generations go from being soldiers in a common cause to bitter political foes? george washington and james monroe were each born to families that had inhabited west moreland county virginia since the mid-17th century. evidence of their antecedents'association includes a notice from 1661 describing the investigation of a suicide in the county. john washington, the coroner, was george's great-grandfather. the first member of

took part of virginia. i hope the senate will take up this bill when we pass it and consider the question of d.c. statehood on its merits not on politics. maybe that's too much to ask. not on partisan -- this is not a partisan math problem or electoral prediction, which as we have seen may or may not come to pass. but on the merits alone. on the conviction that taxation without representation is not fair now as it was not fair in 1776. the people of this city, our nation's capital, deserve full and equal representation in congress. . mr. speaker, i hope this bill will pass with bipartisan support. it's going to pass, but i hope we have some bipartisan support. based upon the principle that every citizen in our country ought to enjoy the same representation of the congress of the united states as every other citizen. and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the gentlewoman from new york reserves. the gentleman from kentucky is recognized. mr. comer: mr. spe

the evolution of the governorship of virginia has had several periods. when we look at it from the independence, from 1776, when our first constitution as being governors could be elected for one-year terms to which they were eligible for two subsequent elections. and some people call it a term of three years if they're reelected. we choose to look at it as three elected terms because there's the possibility he would not have been in years two and three. so he did have those three initial ones and then he had been elected to a fourth which presumably could have set up a fifth and a six had he stayed, except he went and joined the madison administration. patrick henry just beat him out. patrick henry, i believe, ended up having five terms. i showed an image in that when i referred to it of the governor's mansion in richmond which monroe never got to stay in. he signed the legislation that had it built, but he didn't stay in the governor's position long enough to actually enjoy the new house that he authorized. sir? >> can you say a few words about the rel

so other delegates as they arrived, and, in particular, the delegates from virginia. because madison was there early, he brought them all together, and all together they produced the virginia plan, which, as you all know, set the agenda for the constitutional convention. during the convention, madison was one of the delegates who spoke most often. and he made crucial, critical interventions. when the convention was about to write into the constitution that congress had the power, quote, to make war. madison stood up and successfully changed it to "declare war." thus making the president commander in chief. now, if you think about it, we would have not ever done so well, i'm sorry to mention this, but if all the congressmen were in charge of our war, of war, it would not have been successful. so this was a really important intervention. while he's speaking and understanding how important it is to get the words just right, madison was also taking notes. he sat up at the front of the room and wrote the notes out of who said what in shorthand, and then went back to his ro

given virginia's proximity to d.c. and so much federal government taking place in virginia, i'm wondering what you think about this contradiction between federal law and state law when it comes ss to marijua legalization but currently it's a schedule i as far as marijuana and heroin. what's your take on that, and, governor, should that classification be changed? >> absolutely it should be. but virginia will be the 16th state to legalize recreational use of marijuana. as a physician, this is something we started working on two years ago by expanding the medicinal use of marijuana. last year we decriminalized marijuana. we did two very thorough studies over the last year, and we know the time is right and we want to do it right, and we can, so we'll be the 16th state to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. it's an equity issue for virginia among other things. we know that blacks and whites use marijuana at the same rate, but blacks are three to times more likely to be arrested and convicted. so this is wrong, and

virginia, it is argued, might be unconstitutional. yet, there is west virginia. if and when you form the new state of douglas commonwealth, that question, i think the court would leave alone, as opposed to the question of the 23rd amendment. when people say political question, there are things the court doesn't get involved in for different reasons, we don't have time for me to say much more. in the end, we are missing the 23rd moment versus the article for question. they might be related. without the 23rd amendment, this may be an easier question, it seems to me. zack: i think you're absolutely right. the article four section three admissions clause has governed every other admission to the union since the original 13 colonies. there is a very fascinating law review article, is west virginia unconstitutional? luis: and, is texas unconstitutional? zack: this has been debated in the past. those are distinct situations because neither texas or west virginia or any of the other states over their existence to a separate constitutional provision like the district of c

washington's demeanor changed when the subject turned to virginia politics. he requested me to read him the debates of the virginia assembly on the election of a senator and a governor. and hearing mr. madison's observations respecting mr. monroe, he appeared much affected and spoke with some degree of austerity on the subject. what prompted washington's austerity for george's row? how did these two families who were acquainted for generations go from being soldiers for a common cause to bitter political foes. george washington and james monroe were each born to families that inhabited west county in virginia. evidence of their association includes a notice in 1661 talking about a suicide in the county. the coroner was george washington's great-grandfather. as shown on a map by johnson, frey and jefferson in 1775, the birthplaces of washington and monroe were separated by only a few miles, yet they had no apparent contact in their naifsh -- native community. by the time of monroe's birth, george washington's family had moved to king george county. the washing
