especially in washington, d.c. this is probably the best hst kno known image of barton taken in 1865. this is what she looked like during the civil war years. one of the biggest misnomers to me about clara barton, the thing that i learned when i really invested all my taime in workin on her story, began working for the missing soldiers office museum, barton was 39 when the war broke out, and for me, that was kind of a surprise because we -- the vision that we have of women working especially as nurses during the war is they tend to be very young. pop culture has helped to kind of establish that as well. for any of you that have seen the show, "mercy street," we see a lot of young, very young nursnurs nurses in that show and other areas of popular culture. barton is 39 when the war breaks out. she's moving back into washington, d.c. she's trying to get her job back at the patent office now that abraham lincoln has been elected, republican. barton is thrown out of the office in 1856. they accuse her -- in 1857 -- the

to some it up, as the george washington -- is a george washington alumni board member, we know it ishard to look at, but we really believe in education and history, and that is why we would like to keep the murals up. thank you. [applause] >> we just got news today that thomas campbell, director of the fine arts museum of san francisco has written thus to us , while i respect the concerns of the protesters and understand the problematic issues, i do not believe that san francisco will be well served by the destruction of the mural series. the piece was originally intended to promote the whole discussion around these exact issues. and while intent does not allay impact, it could have incredible value as a teaching tool for the generations. please listen to this. i would be happy to volunteer our staff to assist in the next steps following tuesday's meeting. last week, they presented a reasonable defence for george washington high school. a motion one today. i'm shocked that the board is considering squandering public funds to cover over the murals. and i would expect the exact same po

meanwhile, things don't go so well for washington's army. washington is going to lose. the capital is going to be occupied. this is one of the major low points of the war and it's going to force washington to go on the defense. meanwhile, the british have a plan. it involves this man. he gets the name gentlemanly johnny because he loves champagne, he loves buying clothes. he is said to be a ladies man. and he was a playwright. the mission is to march south and canada. and another british forced to march north. and, he has an exceptionally long baggage train, he has a lot of stuff. he has a car just dedicated to his champagne. ridiculous, so why are you driving your champagne through the woods of upstate new york? , and thats ridiculous is because british officers, particularly generals of high rank, were expected to entertain other officers, but also their wives would come on campaign. they would stop and requisition a house and have a party. and if you can't are these parties, it is calling into question your character. along, along with native allies. and native allie

you see what washington did. washington ran an incredibly sophisticated operation when you consider who he was and the issues he had to deal with in terms of logistics and strategy. politicseadership of at the time. washington was an expert at what i would say is the most difficult aspects of intelligence -- deception planning. deception planning allowed him on many occasions to completely fool british commanders as to the size of his army and what he planned to do with it. for deception operations, you need three key factors that are very hard to put together. number one, you have to be able to control the information that is coming out from your side. so there is a steady stream of information of what you want done. that means no leaking and often falsifying internal reporting to junior officers, so they can not inadvertently say what is going on. you have to have sources, double agents primarily, or people who are friendly with that adversary , so you know that information is going to the adversary's command.

my dissertation was on george washington's tomb and the memories of george washington in the 19th century. i started researching there are in 2012 or 2011. it was before they had the library. at that point in time, the staff and the materials were crammed into the cunningham administration building. it was tight quarters. we crossed paths. i asked if he wanted to grab coffee sometime and we kept in contact. i continued in my graduate studies and he left mount vernon and ended up landing at the white house historical association. 2 years later i defended my dissertation on washington and about five months later i got a phone call and he said there was a historian position open and asked if i would consider applying. i said absolutely. before i knew it i was moving to washington, d.c. to start at the association. this was in the fall of 2016. >> you described yourself as self-taught on white house history because there is not an existing graduate program. >> unfortunately. i think lindsay, she is going through the growing pains of that. right now. when we go into these specific graduate pro

ambassador in washington really things about the u.s. president in effect this functional crash and burn those were just some of the words written by ambassador kim derek well last night the ambassador was promptly uninvited to a dinner at the white house and today trump unleashed a tirade on twitter aimed at the ambassador and his boss prime minister to resign me the wacky ambassador that the u.k. forced it upon the united states struck tweeted is not someone that we are thrilled with a very stupid guy he should speak to his country and prime minister may about their failed brecht sit negotiation and not be upset with my criticism of how badly it was handled i told it to resume a how to do that deal but she went her own foolish way was unable to get it done a disaster i don't know the ambassador but i've been told that he is a pompous fool. the u.k. government has condemned the leak but is standing by its ambassador and his right to communicate honestly about the u.s. administration but trump's lambasted have to resign may and breaks it

kim said what everyone in washington is saying talking to all the other diplomats in washington they've all written back exactly the same thing so the bigger question is does this hamper how a diplomat can do his job he has to be able to give unvarnished assessments no one's questioning the assessment by the way. and the fact that it's now leaked it's important to find out who leaked it why and make sure that we can stem that hemorrhage because no diplomat can do their job if they're at risk of this and every other ambassador in washington with the exception of the iranians and the chinese are saying exactly the same thing maybe not the saudis and this is a fine diplomat former national security adviser doing his job and i really hope that the next pm will find a good job for him going on which is what he writes serves this is unfair to him and matthew is merely the latest in a long series of rather uncomfortable moments under the trump presidency with the government of the united kingdom he's blown hot and cold it would appear with regard to theresa may and her handling of the bricks a

ambassador to washington. in a word barbara bad it wasn't long ago that donald trump was in the united kingdom talking about that special relationship visiting the queen but just days after the united states celebrated its independence from the u.k. trump is speaking completely differently this is one of his latest tweets about brags that interests him a said i told to reason may outdo that deal but she went her own foolish way and one was unable to get it done a disaster he tweeted i don't know the ambassador but have been told he is a pompous fool now there had been some speculation that this would fit right in with the sort of russian campaign just so discontent between allies but there is reason to believe that perhaps this is an internal leak in the united kingdom the journal who ripped the journalist who reported the leak is a close ally of israel for raj the braggs it back or in the united kingdom that is important because president trump had suggested that for raj being named as the ambassador to the u

so washington has been making progress, not enough. don't get me wrong, governors are also good at political honest-ification we have our only political -- honest-ification we have our bottles but we have to keep the lights on and balance a budget and respond to daily need. governors cannot fill buster to solve the opioid epidemic. we pant take a recess educate to child and can't rely on a parliamentary point of order to build a road. governors must deliver. justice brandeis spoke about laboratories of democracy. we'reon. that. yes, we're still laboratories of democraticky but states are now fact trophies democracy and we're hospitals of democracy and schools of democracy and airports of democracy and airports and bridges of democracy, and emergency manages over democracy, and the job generators of democracy. states have no choice but to proceed on their own the best they can, to be the most functional unit of government. it's hard. it's not ideal. it's not the intended design. nor is it sustainable long-term , but it is essential toda

smith of washington. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 476, the gentleman from washington, mr. smith and a member opposed each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from washington. mr. smith: thank you, madam chair. this amendment is straightforward. currently all members of congress are prohibited from having contracts with the federal government. as a member of congress, if you own something, you can't lease or rent it to the government and similarly, you can't rent or lease something from the government. as members of congress we could vm undue influence or get a deal that other members of the public could not get. therefore we would have an unfair advantage and using our positions to enrich ourselves which is supposed to be prohibited. this amendment is straightforward and adds the president, vice president and cabinet members who cannot contract with the federal government, either the federal government leasing something to us or leasing something back to the government

washington, d.c. in the first decade of the 20th century in the wake of victory of the spanish-american war and the administration of teddy roosevelt was making a push in public art and architecture that was audacious and unprecedented in america in terms of civic scale and control. it set a new vision for the capital, but also for the nation's discipline of city planning at large. this belief in the symbiotic, symbolic relationship between buildings and grounds was a keystone of city beautiful planning theory, and of mcmillan plan articulated it. it was also found in landscape and garden design at a smaller scale. this brings us back to the topic of the day, practice and styles by farrand and her colleagues. roosevelt's 1903 so-called colonial garden on the left was an example of idealized romanticized designs based on dutch and british examples. it was compact, well ordered, creation of nostalgic movements that followed the centennial and the beginning of the preservation efforts of this country. we

although she did not do much work in washington dc, she probably did her finest garden in washington dc, which of course was dumbarton oaks. ms. deitz: were there other presidents doing anything? ms. tankard: that is a good question. no, not really. private design work she did for teddy roosevelt. ms. deitz: what did she do for him? there was a long-standing family relationship between the roosevelts and jones. as i said in my lecture, teddy roosevelt would sometimes show up for these famous luncheons on east 11th st. i don't know what the origin was of their friendship, but they certainly were friends and that extended to beatrix who grew up in that environment. little-known fact, but i think it is in my book, i cannot remember. beatrix designed the actual tombstones for teddy roosevelt and for his son, kermit, who died just before teddy did. they are in sagamore hill but they are not part of the historic site. i have not seen it. outside in a private cemetery. she designed a lot of tombstones for friends. and i think it is very telling that she designed tombstones for the roosevelt

history james pays out 0 washington. meanwhile china is demanding the united states immediately cancel a potential $2200000000.00 arms sales to taiwan of course china still considers taiwan to be a breakaway province when he reports from beijing. taiwan's military is built on equipment from the united states its main supply of arms announcements from washington of sales are always met by an angry response from china and this was no difference is a crude interference in china's internal affairs and a harms china's servant and a security interest china is strongly east dissensions wired and thoroughly opposed to this and has already made a stern representations to the u.s. side and. china regards taiwan as a breakaway province that it will one day retake that threat is why taipei feels the need to regularly upgrade its weaponry this deal may be viewed by beijing as particularly provocative if it's approved by the united states congress at $2200000000.00 it would be the largest since donald trump took over as president taiw

for more on this now let's go to washington d.c. where helena humphrey is standing by good evening to you. let's start with this attempted you turd or are somewhat of a u. turn by the u.s. president are people buying it when donald trump says he did not agree with the chanting that he heard. well let's just start with the democratic reaction we've just heard from senator coleman a harris of course the presidential candidate who said that these were simply and he was incessantly we had round condemnation from democratic lawmakers today namely from the self-proclaimed squad of course those women who were initially told get it in the tweets were she to tally by other presley as well as alexander castillo cortez coming to defend it and he was then talkative in that chant saying this chaunce this kind of rhetoric and die in danger is minorities in this country and we also heard condemnation from some republican lawmakers as well which i'd like to draw your attention to congressman adam kinzinger for example of illinois saying that you kn

ambassador in washington fired take a look at what the u.k.investor wrote just a few weeks ago in the atlantic about how important british diplomats are to the united states all right here it is for the u.k. has one of the largest diplomatic footprints of any country with embassies in missions around the world this reach is hugely valuable and the americans recognize this the u.s. has no diplomatic presence in pyongyang or tehran we have had ambassadors and teams in north korea since the early 2000 and in iran since $1821.00 the united states relies on us to be its eyes and ears in places where it has not there the ambassador talking about why the u.s. needs us helena if the u.k. ambassador if he's highly aware of the worth of british diplomats what about the u.s. president is he aware of how much he missed them. well brant you do have to wonder of a century on monday we saw the u.s. president declare the british ambassador persona non grata saying that he would not be working with him in the future at a time of course of such heightened globa

ginsb washington officials. they say, you have no idea how hard-working we are, how much we do for the people of the united states. you have no idea how much we value the views of americans, to which i say, i do have an idea, which i say, i do have an idea, and you don't care what americans think. this is the first time this is been done, we're going to make our questionnaire and results available. people can look at what we did, and hopefully people can move on from there. host: why did 800 plus people respond to your survey? insberg: interesting question. in the polling business, when you do telephone polling, most people don't want to respond. they don't want to waste their time. my view is that in the case of the survey, first of all, i am going to be snarky again. will you forgive me? a lot of people don't have much to do. this was an amusement. and second, people who work in washington are self-important. not unlike professors. i admit, we are self-important, too. the people who work in the people who work

[laughter] so washington has been making progress, not enough. don't get me wrong, governors are also good at pontification. but we havebattles to keep the lights on and balance a budget and respond to daily need. governors cannot filibuster to solve the opioid epidemic. fromn't take a recess educating a child and can't rely on a parliamentary point of order to build a road. governors must deliver. justice brandeis spoke about laboratories of democracy. we are beyond that now. yes, we're still laboratories of democracy, but states are now factories of democracy. and we're hospitals of democracy and schools of democracy and democracy and roads and bridges of democracy and emergency managers of democracy and the job generators of democracy. states have no choice but to proceed on their own the best they can to be the most functional unit of government. it is hard, it's not ideal. it's not the intended design. nor is it sustainable long-term, but it is essential today. how long the political paralysis lasts in washington is anyone's guess. there was

survey washington to see what it thinks of america." so we surveyed officials and what i will call members of the policy community, that is the contractors, who often are interchangeable with officials, people who work in think tanks, everyone involved in developing rules and regulations. so i said, "we want to see what they thought of americans." in fact, my original title for this book was "what the government thinks of the people." government thinks of the people." but publishers never like my titles, they always say my titles are no good. all right. so at any rate, i sent out -- so we wanted to find out what officials thought of us ordinary americans. she said, "well, that's kind of interesting," but she said, "everybody knows that ordinary americans are a bunch of idiots. why do you need to do a survey to find that out?" well, to me, that confirmed well, to me, that confirmed everything that we found in the book. we found that public officials, the people who really govern this country -- it's not congress, it's not the president -

you see what washington did. washington ran an incredibly sophisticated operation when you consider who he was and the issues he had to deal with in logistics and strategy. washington was an expert at what i would say is the most planning. deception that allowed him to completely full british commanders as to the size of his army and what he planned to do with it. for deception operations you need three key factors that are very hard to put together. abler one, you have to be to control the information from your side. and often no leaking falsifying internal reporting to junior officers so they can inadvertently say what is going on. , double to have sources agents primarily, or people who adversaryly with that a so you know that information is going to the adversary's command, and three, you have to have the sources within the enemy command to know that your message is getting there, but in a way where the emmy believes they are making the decision providing the validation for that information. pretty sophistica

that is the big question right here in washington. to decipher what donald trump meant by his tweet. yesterday, he said we would not deal with kim derek any more, reporters and not been able to get the straight answer on whether or not he has been formally png read, they are pointing fingers, but as we are seeing with the treasury department this inviting him from the dinner la st this inviting him from the dinner last night, the commerce department cancelling a dinner, it appears that senior political officials are trying to respect the letter and the spirit of donald trump's wishes in his tweet. always a pleasure, thank you both for your views on that. png, persona non grata. not as ostracised as donald trump likes to perceive that he was. when you look at some of the invitations that politico has gathered over the last year, you will see that in fact, you might not be able to see actually, but in that tweet from jake sherman, there are a list of parties and events, celebrations, at the british embassy in washington, and a lot of na

washington insiders get taxpayer money. members of congress get reelected, and the system works for everyone except the american people. this kind of self-interest builds on itself as members spend more and more time in office. in an age in which the partisan divide seemed intractable, it is remarkable that public support for congressional term limits remains strong across already party lines. in poll after poll, conducted over decades, americans who are republicans, who are democrats, who are independents, americans who are conservatives, who are liberals, who are moderates, who are men or women, who are anglo-american, or african-american, or hispanic, all support term limits by overwhelming margins. for example, a 2018 mclaughlin & associates poll found that 82 % % of americans support term limits for congress, including 89% of republicans, but also 76% of democrats support term limits. 83% of independents support term limits. 72% of hispanics support term limits. and 70% of african americans support term limits. indeed,
