to create washington, d.c. and it takes a long time for that plan for the city to come to fruition. so it makes perfect sense it took ten years to build it and years and years to for it to become the city that we know and love absolutely. so i think it makes some sense that it's know a little yeah, a little less enticing, but they do make that decision and thanks for plugging the book of course absolutely wonderful stuff but so they make the decision they've reached that fork in the proverbial road and they decide to go to washington. what happens next so they decide to go to washington. the debate between ross and coburn, this it's too easy. in fact, ross says to leading us into a trap. however, all the military things that you're any your first day at west point this is what you learn you know you fell trees across the road you have skirmishes go out harass them you monitor the army, you flood, you know where you blow up a bridge, you burn a bridge. you know anything to delay the army? none. that's done. so r

and that's how the march on washington came out. so these are just two examples of the fact that most of what we think and what we feel about race is not openly discussed. we don't openly discuss the fact that race largely determines whether you're a republican or a democrat. when i grew up in atlanta, we never even heard of republicans. hardly. there were a few eccentric judges who were who were republicans because they believed in the two parties system that didn't really exist. it was it it was a single party, democratic monopoly and always had been republicans were scarce as polar bears all. and then as soon as 64 came and barry goldwater proposed the civil rights act of 1964 and strom thurmond switched parties, saying that the party of our fathers is dead and worships the foot of materialism and an all consuming power in washington. therefore, i'm going to become a republican republic and sprang up in the south out, nowhere out of dust. and now the south is the white. south is presumably republican or we forget that within four

the first is washington. right. some of the first documents primary, source documents published from the revolution were what were from washington's papers and, congress papers in the 1780s, right. in the 1780s, they published the correspondence washington and congress where washington says, hey, the british are about to take york city. should i leave it for them intact or should i burn the place before i leave? and congress supposedly says, don't do it now. whether they also sent him a private letter that said, go ahead and do it and burn this letter to while you're at it, we'll never know. and can't argue from an absence of evidence. but it is true that every historian writes about washington points to that and say, well, see, washington didn't do it. when the fire happened, he was seven miles away. he had you know, he was a great guy. he wasn't a napoleon or a caesar or a cromwell. he had asked, you know, the civilian authorities permission, the civilian authority said no, not only did washington obey him, but ap

george washington is different. it doesn't mean we should put him on a metaphorical pedestal. >> it is his full legacy. slavery also changed quite a bit from the 18th century. as is until the 19th. that has to be a subject. it is hard to pinpoint us as the start of the nation. especially the declaration of independence. we are on our second constitution. it is as good as any july 4th. >> in an official sense, there are people in the congress, especially john adams, that thought july 2nd was a magical day. that is the day that they pass the resolution bill. it shows how powerful the declaration was. this document, could have been real plain. it could have served a purpose that was just a sentence or two. it could have been real plain, served a basic purpose of -- , >> one sentence? >> yeah. it could have just been that resolution reprinted.

maybe the most ambitious scenarios in washington , we know that there are some things we will not be able to solve, say, providing specifically, the invitation to the vashtor summit may not succeed, but we can, we must also understand how it is necessary to provide ukraine with the right amount, the right quality of weapons in order for them to succeed in the battlefield. ambassador werchbao, let's take a closer look. to that question, we've all heard president biden's wonderful speech, a powerful speech addressed to israel and ukraine, to the free world, and indeed to all of humanity as we witness a war between good and evil, my question is this: what do you think, what takes place in washington, in the powerful... korodoh, because on the one hand we see such a powerful speech from president biden, on the other hand we see how difficult the disputes and debates about domestic american policy are in the us congress. what is the perspective of this political process in your opinion? this is, of course, such a stage of american domestic politics, not very inspiring, because now you see

was, the washington post. so this was a total to me. you know, my feelings were mixed at the time. i actually i guess my initial reaction was that, well, first of all, shock. but second of all, that it might be good for the post. the truth is that we had, or at least the graham family and everybody had pretty much run out of ideas for to turn the place around and were facing an enormous number of cuts. i was beginning to develop plans for the next year, budget plans and they called for more cuts on staff. i had already done about i was expected to do about cutting 35 people in our newsroom in the first year. they said they were going easy on me and then the second year was going to be more like 50 or more. and i expected that perpetually, frankly. so was somewhat encouraged that somebody who who had a reputation for growth would be purchasing the post that he would invest he would come with some new ideas because lord knows we needed a lot of ideas in the business. so i thought would be it might be good for th

so why is washington not calling for an independent investigation? and so what happens in gaza shortly, even though your west understands the concept of conflict of interest, the sort like the proof israel presents it's, is it that solid, we know that the idea of did not conduct operations in the area, and by that, by sci fi here we know it because our rate does identify the trajectory of the rock. it's as they were being launch of the overhead of the ally um hospital i'm, you know, finally because they admitted it themselves. but you're asking me for, for proof, you don't need to get from from you. what do you need to do is switch over to elk 00. the full cost is live and you can actually say go, screenshot, caption. just you can see this the 0 from last night and they broke trusted the rocket hitting inside the gauze and strips what's all to 0 as own digital analysis, all of the spots, it points to as well as the culprit behind a deadly strike. we can see a single rocket launch from gaza. this is the rocketing question. this rocket can also be seen

washington re considers. i have told that this must be decorative decision and you can either continue having the support of the us you can use are fighting what's called that. go to chick capacities and you, we want them to be more successful. you have to provide with better arms, burrell and the you are pretty much now. the guy who books a super expensive holiday with his body, only to have the body back over the last minute, leave him holding the bag. in the case of burrell, well, maybe he just hasn't noticed that washington has some major problems of its own right now that have nothing to do with you. crane like uncontrolled migration and the republican. how speaker i said that border funding has to come before you phrase the, the priority for me as america and our borders. now i support being able to make sure ukraine has the weapons that they need, but i fairly support the border 1st. so we've got to find a way that we can do this together. it's the trend of citizens demanding that their leaders put the

regardless of the cost to human life, washington has actually no. and so no desire to get to the truth. the objective to the steps that the east have set, the goal here. it's just purely a power play, you know, and when they, when washington says we want investigation, it means simply they want to advance their own policies, their own agenda, their own goals. they don't want justice, they don't want truth. they don't one facts. they just want to advance their own policy, so of course they will never they will never promote independent investigation. for example of what's happening really, what's happening in done boss and crime, the washington does not want the truth to come out. because if the truth fully comes out, that that it tell of the is deliberately targeting mosques, hospitals now christian churches that came in, that became well known across the globe. then popular support will collapse popular support for the policies towards ukraine and popular support of the policies towards israel. it's really are fine. what people think here. i mean,

>> because there was a risk to the institution i represented, so the washington post -- to the washingtont could've suffered huge fines. people on the staff could have been sent to prison. it's possible we could have been prosecuted. that has not happened in the history of the u.s. but it didn't mean that it could not happen. i thought i'd take a look at the law and think about it. the risk that publication opposed to the institution. i thought that was the responsible thing to do. i did think about it. i knew this was a -- this was putting the institution potentially at risk. and ultimately, within days, i told my publisher and the ceo of the parent company, odn graham -- don graham, i told catherine weymouth, she told donald graham, and they trusted us to make the right call. they trusted my judgment, bart's judgment, and allowed us to proceed. >> you talk about the importance of privacy which was a key element of what was shown in the obama years, that was still being sort of disregarded in some ways when national security was invoked by senior intelligence officials and the like. i wo

the columbia at the border between present day washington state and oregon. so the british were willing, in other words, to conceal read to the united states. all lands south and of the columbia. but they wanted to maintain access to the river itself, which of course, was the main transportation for the company. remember, the hudson's bay company had a number of trading posts, not just the columbia, the willamette and the snake and other rivers in the territory and so the british hoping that the border would follow the columbia river would enable them to keep access to the columbia river. and hold on to the trading forts that they had established along river. they wanted control over puget sound, which they rightly regarded as a superior harbor on the northwest coast. now americans, for their part, did not expect to acquire any territory north of. the 49th parallel, but they also coveted puget sound and access to strait of juan de fuca fuca. keep in mind that during the 1820s and the 1830s, the united states no good harbor on the pacific, san diego and san fr

here on just because of washington's status. as israel is most important ally, so do you think that this conflicts could actually change washington's policy and the surrounding region? or i think it is fair to say that at least from the biden administration's perspective of these attacks, so represent a resetting of the chessboard piece is when it comes to wider middle eastern policy . by dint of course, was heavily involved in these efforts to normalize relate, between saudi arabia and is and, and israel he was leading on the, on is real heavily to provide more concessions, the palestinians. now that these attacks have happened, it's hard to see how he could continue doing that as therefore the future of those efforts might be invalid. but finding himself is a very strong support of israel, even as relations with that in yahoo had been strained as of late. he famously criticized that in yahoo is traditional reforms. he refused to commit to inviting on yahoo to the white house over several months. now the 2 men did meet a few we

it is clear that washington is now modernizing its strategic nuclear forces.it. huge amounts of money have been allocated in the military budget, which i spoke about, and naturally, there will be new models , new warheads, new carriers, but first of all we are talking about warheads, from a technical point of view, according to experts, in general there is a need to carry out - there are no full-scale tests, there is the possibility of computer mathematical modeling, the possibility of conducting tests without starting a nuclear chain reaction, in general, all these technical tools are there, but for political demonstration, washington, especially if the republican administration comes to power in the presidential elections next year, washington may go ahead with full-scale nuclear tests, naturally, russia will immediately conduct retaliatory tests, this can be said here with all confidence and we will indicate this position. that’s actually why i asked you about the american reaction , it’s only the first reading in the first reading, and the bill on recall w
