washington. he did not want him to get away. he wanted to nail washington. this was washington'sfort, fort necessity where he held up with .is virginia militia men by july 3, the brother -- brother had him surrounded there and washington was in a desperate situation. tell us that half of washington's men were drunk. i have studied militia men from the mississippi river to the atlantic, the french, the spaniards, the brits -- and at any given time, when militia men are in the field, half of them are drunk. [laughter] that was the nature of being a at that time. so in his journal, the french officer who has washington surrounded and in a pathetic position -- once again, i refer to his journal which is a wonderful document. he said -- i kept my indians under control and he had about 200 indians with him. the french officer. the brother says -- i kept my indians under control pointedly referring to washington's indiansy to keep his under control. washington did not want to see his indians murder the wounded french guys but he did not have control of them. a very bad thing if you are

washington more at ease. he said something to the effect of, general washington, you must let yourself forget that you are general washington and i am stuart the painter. washington gave a well-intentioned reply. he said something to the effect of, there's no need for me to forget that i'm general washington and you are stuart the painter. it kind of insulted stuart. he felt that washington was giving him a backhanded slap. because of that, gilbert stuart got to portray washington, one of those images we have of him, and this is one of the most famous. when you look at that, what is the central feature of that painting? what is it? the mouth? look at it. it is kind of clenched. it looks like he is in some kind of discomfort, some kind of pain. the view thate, is that hewashington awkward, het he is umpy,approachable, he is gr perhaps, and that is not so. he wasn't a square jawed stiff by stuartthis image portrayed him. the george washington that we know, that historians have documented, was a george washington who loves to have a good time. but you remember what i told you about washington. he believed there was the persona

washington and i am stuart the painter. washington gave a well-intentioned reply. he said something to the effect of there's no need for me to forget i'm general washington in your stuart the painter. it kind of insulted stuart. he felt that washington was giving him a backhanded slap. because of that, gilbert stuart got to betray washington, one of those images we have of him and this is one of the most famous and when you look at that, what is the simple feature of that painting? the mouth? look at it. it is kind of clinched and it looks like he is in some discomfort, some kind of pain , the viewhat image that we have of washington is that he is blom, awkward, , grumpy perhaps and that is not so. he was not a square jawed sick shirt as this image showed. the george washington that we know, that historians have documented was a george washington who loves to have a good time, but when i told you about washington is that he believed there was the personal man and the public man and those people who had the personal relationship would not display that personal relationship in public. the private man had a public and you stayed outside of arms reach. this is a george was

washington turned to our hero. washington brought coats that needed mending, suits that needed altering. with washington standing as his own model, he could widen the threat of coke's of coats. carlin charged washington, one day altering your clothes to your great coat and so on. as a gentlemen planner in a prominent city, you are going to have to keep looking at washington for a while, george washington was really at the top of alexandria's social ladder. he warned his friends not to concede that fine clothes make fine men any more than fine feathers make fine birds. we have seen washington turned to carlin. russia ordered a variety of garments, including coats, waistcoats, and formal attire. bridges were the most common garment carlin made for george washington. it seems washington has given up on charles lawrence's ability to judge the height and breadth of his client. i think you have generally for reasons which i think it is necessary to mention i am a full six feet high. i love how he blames it on everyone else. again carlin to the rescue. he provided washington with very fashionable clothing he n

washington. washington has changed its mind on china. a few years ago it was seen asa china. a few years ago it was seen as a potential ally. now it is regarded as a deadly rival. it is easy to see this is simply a product of the man at the top. we cannot continue to allow china to rate our country, and that is what they are doing. the shift in us china policy goes much deeper than a few some —— stump speeches and late—night tweet. i don't know if you would see another politician if you would have seen another politician if you would have seen this sharp turn. they were across everything and there was a sense that our approach was not working. from speaking to insiders inside washington, but power. robert spalding was the chief architect of the us national security is strategy published in 2017. how big a threat is china do you think china is? i think it is the most existential threat since the most existential threat since the nazi party in world war ii. i think it is far greater threat than the soviet union ever was. it is the number two economy in the world and its reach into the government's and all the institutions of the west far exceeds what the soviets could ever manage. according to the us government, china has gained the system of international trade and still the newest technology. the result has been a huge wave of factory closed yours and job loss. more and more companies came to the conclusion that partnering with china ultimately was not turning out to be profitable and could actually be downright negative. china's more assertive military in places like the south china sea has also alarmed policymakers in washington. as has china's stated aim of becomi

social media playing such a vital and wonderful beautiful role in our national dialogue in washington washington d.c. i have to ask do you feel is this the best of times for us politics or is it the worst of times for us politics or somewhere in between what you feel well look. at this point we all know how broken the political system in america is there's no question about that and we've known it's been broken for some time the problem of what we're seeing right now though is that it's gone to an entirely different level where no one's even vying anymore to get to persuade or to draw anyone else in these ridiculous moments on television where everyone talks about somber moments of the nation that's all pray and hold hands and and this idea that everyone's taking this so seriously and it's absolute lunacy and here's what i think is the most interesting thing there's a report out today that says of people who are watching what's going on with the impeachment that virtually 100 percent of the public watching says that they will not change their minds it does not matter where. they see so if you're

washington, d.c. to have representatives of the washington nationals, with "washington" across the front of their jerseyst take care of their business so like these guys do. it's incredible. thank you, guys. [applause] i'm always so proud to tell people that when you read about the washington nationals, you read about the washington nationals in the sports section. and i think that is very important to tell about these players. [applause] they put together a tremendous run at the end of the season, through their perseverance, their teamwork, their love for each other and love for the game, love for the name on the front of the jersey more so than he name on the back of jersey. they put together a miracle season and an unforgettable post-season. we're proud to say that we are the 2019 world champions. [applause] in a season that unified a region when the region unifying the most. [applause] and again, as our manager, davey martinez, said to eloquently after our many, many, many celebrations this year. five of them, i think. bumpy roads do lead to beautiful places. and this, here, is a beautiful place. [ap

washington. washington has become a city of china hawks. the fact he is willing to sign it in another location, for example iowa as the president has floated as one of the options, is significant. david: mr. ross talk to our colleague and suggested we probably are going forward with phase one. at the same time he said phase two may require legislation in china. is that reducing our expectations of anything happening in phase two? jenny: if you look back to our reporting a weaker two ago, we heard from chinese officials that they are very skeptical anything might come after the first phase has concluded. that is because they expect the president to rollback all of the existing tariffs and that is on $360 billion. we have heard from the white house that is not on the table at this point. anything that would go beyond agriculture purchases and may be some commitments on intellectual property the chinese are going forward with anyway, regardless of the u.s. china deal, would require a big give on the u.s. side. that is the big question is if the president is willing to go there. david: thank you so much. that is our colleague jenny leonard from washington. now we turn to greg farrell, we had a court ruling on the subpoenas for tax records. greg: a manhattan district attorney, somewhat predictable because the district court had also ruled in his favor. it does not mean the president will have to turn over years of tax records. it is quite likely it has been kicked back to a federal judge. it will go to the supreme court. trump is losing in these hearings, but he is succeeding in extending the time process. david: it is important what is being sought. they are not asking the president to do anything at all. they are to his accountants. the court of appeals in a 3-0 ruling said we are not asking the president to do anything. narrow basis for the supreme court to take a different view. greg: their argument is also the president has claimed turning these over would be detrimental to him. judges said the last six presidents have voluntarily shared their own tax returns. there is no reason to believe this claim the president is making this wi

washington washington d.c. i have to ask do you feel is this the best of times for us politics or is it the worst of times for us politics or somewhere in between what you feel well look it's a clown show at this point to me we all know how broken the political system in america is there's no question about that and we've known it's been broken for some time the problem of what we're seeing right now though is that it's gone to an entirely different level where no one's even vying anymore to get to persuade or to draw anyone else in these ridiculous moments on television where everyone talks about somber moments of the nation let's all pray and hold hands and and this idea that everyone's taking this so seriously and it's absolute lunacy and here's what i think is the most interesting thing there's a report out today that says of people who are watching what's going on with the impeachment that virtually 100 percent of the public watching says that they will not change their minds it does not matter what they see so if you're over here on the right cam you're say i'm going to believe the president no matter what and if you're on the left side you're saying i believe in the democrats no matter what and what we're ignoring is that about half of the electorate and are no longer affiliated republican or democrat anymore and those in the people who have been left out who are trying to turn this thing out and say i just want to be a part of it all because it's not the system totally destroyed at this point it was the worst it can be your what if it seems like political theater at this point. i mean a lot of people tend to talk about sports as being like a circus but to me i look at politics as i typically focus on sports but when i look at the politics aspect with impeachment it seems like from what i've heard if this even makes it to the senate they've said to be dead on arrival so what's the point at this point it seems like the trickle forms and i have to agree with you both it's become really a circus it's all you're hearing is really sound bites everywhere and there's just too much information and not involve enough information there is no one side that's saying again just like ben said you know if i'm a republican i'm against this whole entire circus show if i'm a democrat you know the president trying he's wrong he should be removed from power so it is just it's really just become crazy. into something that seems that actually so i would actually revise something i said i call it a circus but i actually say it's a sport that's actually what's taken place is that politics and you can actually think c.n.n. for this more than anyone else because jeff zucker when he took over at c.n.n. and explicitly said that he wanted to cover politics the way that sports are covered now if you look at where we are a few years after that that's literally what's happening right we're where when you watch a sporting event you don't care how you win you just care about winning and winning is what works right it's not about right and wrong it's about winning losing that's what we've devolved to with politics it's not about right and wrong at this point it's literally about winning and losing i'm really excited to see what fantasy leagues are rising because a lot of this isn't really exciting about showers as having their you know donald trump team verses who you know is nancy pelosi team and it's interesting because i think when it comes to sports as well you want people to watch you want to have that that moment so having it speaker pelosi go up and announce they're doing the impeachment in the house that was the moment that's how people got interested that's how people started watching so then you're going to tune in you're going to want to watch it like you have a saving game to win the capitals on the stanley cup everybody watch that even if you're not a hockey fan you're going to watch the rest of series you like i want another one i want to it's almost an adrenaline rush for people and that's a politics has become it's almost become like a drug. or we need the next breaking news the net need next headline we need to be entertained you know speaking of adrenaline rushes of fear i want to jump over to what i talked about earlier with the universities now you know with this new list coming out of showing watch which u.s. universities are truly complicit in the nuclear weapons complex in this country the united states and this is an amazing number the united states is currently engaging in this kind of renewed nuclear arms race that we've seen kind of a little bit started under obama really ratcheted up we're spending nearly $100000.00 a minute of taxpayer money the reinvigoration in the upgrade of our nuclear weapons arsenal according to this i can report you have 50 universities have signed formal agreements with millions even billions of dollars with this industry to manage your partner with nuclear weapons development and production sites oftentimes going directly against their mission statements john hopkins mission statement says and they're one of the biggest perpetrators of this you can see the map right there those are all the universities tied into all of this john hopkins mission statement says it includes to bring the benefits of discovery to the world how can you bring benefits of discovery to the world when you're spending all of your time helping coordinate the building of nuclear weapons is that even possible for these universities to try to do plays both sides of this. well i jump into it and i think that that this is kind of systemic of what we're seeing across the big education complex that we have built in this country right now which is essentially selling themselves for any kind of research grants they can possibly get what's interesting is that if you dig into that report a little bit from i can you find that not only do we have a massive number of universities that are taking money to do this research but that students who are involved in this are immediately getting high paying jobs when they come out and so it's become a system where well there's a lot of criticism right now of kind of the college system in general where you say well these people pay for big degrees they spend years. they get this money they have all this debt and then there's no job for them this is a particular area where there is a high paying job waiting for you on the other side so it feels like in many ways it's bribery at its worst you talk about the things we want to talk about you research how we want you to research and you give us the kind of p.r. that we want and in exchange we give you big development and your students make money when they get out. and i want to add to this that you know a partnership between universities and the u.s. government and developing any kind of research and development in nuclear weapons is actually nothing new when this started back during world war 2 when during what they call the manhattan project which really started started the building of nuclear bombs and that's because it was through los alamos laboratories in new mexico with direct partnership with the university of california that they develop nuclear weapons so this is actually nothing new now the only difference is is that now much of the universities are keeping this as classified information from students and faculty members so the students and faculty members aren't actually aware that these university are getting such a big grand such a big support from the u.s. government in terms of to get any kind of research or development to work with this industry but surprising and interesting enough a new report came out by the n.r.c. a couple of months ago the nuclear regulatory commission and about 30 percent of their workforce is going to be retiring now these are society we're talking about scientists here so who's going to be taking their place it's going to be exact programs and grants that they're providing to these universities in these exact industry that they're hoping they will play and was dangerous too is that you know when you look back at the sixty's that's where a lot of protest against nuclear weapons really came out of was the campuses of universities and things like that but now if your university is tied into this and i mean when you look at the list of universities that are involved we're talking michigan we're talking for do we're talking notre dame were targeted. wisconsin but i mean it's across the country. and it will to i was going to say to go off both your points to keep up with the nuclear arms race of these major research into institutions will do anything to you know keep to basically keep up a relationship with the state right so these kids coming in there need to be more transparency as you said because they are 1819 year olds can be easily taken advantage of and manipulated not necessarily knowing that they're building and designing some of the most deadly weapons on earth so you know they were mad at us for a look it almost as a bigger picture the act the education system as a whole that were being put in debt were meeting these high paying jobs to pay off said that so we're not living in cardboard boxes or our parents' basements for the next 1015 years and it's almost like we're overlooking the ethics of it we don't care because at the end of the day this system is so flawed we need to have that breach of ethics we need to have that lack of transparency and able to the star and you kill our arms everybody enjoys having a gassed and to go home and so you know quit being able to put up the map again just going 2nd because i think what's what's significant about this too is the number of universities that are involved in that we're going to go when you have that many universities as you that much grant money going to me that looks like more than just an issue of saying we need the best of the brightest it looks to me like you are spreading out across and some of these universities like university of new mexico or texas tech and these are big universities. where you are almost as i see it creating a p.r. machine if you tire of this many universities major universities doing research for you what universities are doing the research right now that is anti nuclear weapons where those programs being developed and that may be in some very small small ones but when you're funding that to this height a lot of times when journalists or even politicians draw conclusions based on information they go back to a university study university study shows this or proves this and i think that's part of what they're doing here that is really interesting the p.r. game. in the because you know what what campus lets see if your campus is making a bit of a $1000000000.00 or multiple hundreds of millions of dollars off this what campus is going to then allow nuclear power program. you don't protest to rage at that at that moment in time was like well we're making money off this will just keep you guys quiet and we already have a problem with free speech being silenced on universities right now so it's going to be interesting to see how this story develops all right as we go to break caulk watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we cover the social media be sure to check out the hawks the podcast with able and spotify albums you can everywhere do this in the podcast coming up the n.f.l. is invited collin kaplan it back on the field but is there more than meets the eye our panel discussing this next to you watching. your government and our government and all the other major governments of the world know what's going to happen and when it's going to. but they haven't told you and they haven't told me they haven't announced. imagine something as big as the earth . is going to cost. earthquakes volcanoes. and it's going to tell. so we're right. my great grandfather's. nobody would care about the law or prison so you'd have lawlessness should have. a terrible life between now and the. it's seemed wrong. to me. just to shape our disdain you can't get educated and engagement because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. welcome back all right hauke watchers it appears that after just over a 1000 shopping days the national football league looks to be opening its doors to crack to potentially let back in the free speech wielding n.f.l. ostracized quarterback collin capper nick the ringer is now reporting that despite the circumstances still being a bit of a mystery the n.f.l. asked him to work out in front of the league's power brokers and that according to league sources all 32 teams were sent the memo on tuesday stating that a private workout would be held for cap and rick in atlanta this saturday on wednesday afternoon capper nick tweeted out he was delighted coming back into a league that essentially forced him out for taking a knee in solidarity with the black lives matter movement during the playing of the national anthem at a games with katherine tweeting i'm just getting word from my representatives that the n.f.l. league office reached out to them about a workout in atlanta on saturday i've been in shape and i'm ready for this for 3 years can't wait to see the had coaches and g.m.'s on sunday so my panel what does the future hold for the civil rights and free speech icon and is the n.f.l. actually serious about wanting cabernet to come back in a uniform what i think i'll start with you see well i got to say when i 1st heard about this as a football fan and a fan of fairness i was excited to see him get a shot and then the more i thought about it and read into it you know it does seem like somewhat of a sham possibly and a little bit fishy because there's a lot of murky details 1st of all the short notice it's on saturday which is only what 4 or 5 days before typically free agents get the workouts on tuesday when teams want to look at them and right now they're not really seen it 1st it's going to close the media that's another aspect of it that's kind of odd 2nd of all they're not releasing an official list of the teams attending however there are teams who have said they are. and confirmed it but the n.f.l. won't release that list and there's no defined throwing script typically quarterbacks on a pro day which this is basically his own individual combine or pro 'd day they get to define their own script they know who their receivers and running backs will be he doesn't know any of this so it's a little it's a dog and pony show is exactly what it is and you set it out the n.f.l. is hosting the league itself is hosting for this event they're putting it on they are having the controlled explosion troll experiment really is what it is where setting the conditions where telling you what teams are coming giving it such short notice it is 11 weeks into the season and now all of a sudden like you know what now is a really good time to have him come in normally if you're having a pro day for any player you're kicker is really terrible need find you when you do it like steve said tuesday wednesday when you you're done for the week your games are over for the week you don't just spring this on teams 24 hours before games start with a no idea of what's going on no idea even who's going to how how it's going to be run it is completely a sham and i think they're setting him up to fail and it's kind of interesting too because according to cavernous representatives only had 2 hours right to to let the league know whether or not they wanted to do this after they were asked about it but you know look. teams don't want calling kaepernick and then that's part of the problem here of why the n.f.l. would be asking teams to show up and the like these guys are saying you know on a saturday when there's games on sunday so a lot of the high reps are not going to be there anyways most of the teams that were contacted by the ringer said we didn't even know about it so why they would even do this makes no sense it feels like the n.f.l. spent 5 minutes without a scandal 5 minutes without putting their foot in their mouth and then said you know what we've got to do something quick call call and haven't because that way we can make everyone angry again because other people don't like calling tabernacle you mad at us and all the people who love that we mad at this too i mean they can't get out of their own way it's interesting when i saw this and i have no evidence to back this up but it almost felt like after their p.r. thing with jay z. about joining up in partnership with him it almost felt like you know it was a small of those things were secretly. buried in that contract with jay z. would give capper make a try out you know they didn't mount said publicly at the time and then now they're kind of like what we got to make good on that's what stacked the deck as much as we can against them so you have actually an interesting you did some research and digging into this story too and found some pretty interesting is that i actually spoke to 2 n.f.l. players today and my question was for them and they both asked not to be named number one because if they give any kind of opinion or anything i'm on kaepernick there they're going some i will get blacklisted drive because nobody wants to talk about this publicly but my question to them was is the statement correct that where they notified about this on tuesday or did the teams or did the players actually know about this prior to prior to the tuesday date that we were told and no they were not told about this prior to say they were told exactly the same number of teams were and they really are seeing this as a p.r. stunt number one the players have also been asked if they want to attend these 2 players will also as they can't obviously was able 5 games on sunday so they are seeing this as just a huge p.r. stunt by the by the n.f.l. just to kind of say that we're giving him a try but then again closed off to media so nobody could actually cover this to see what's going to be happening and is that something that the n.f.l. looks at it for them is a win let's say you know let's say they set it up and captured it fails and they can point and say look at all of your hall of the lou over this guy and all that guy he was never really ready to go from the 1st place and all that kind of thing and then they can kind of say like look you know we were right in the long run it wasn't a conspiracy to keep him off the playing field because of his political beliefs we just felt he couldn't play i mean you think that's what kind of trying to set up with us to go off that point while it is closed the media there will it will still be filmed of course that will be video that and he will be interviewed to see if he's mentally ready so that will eventually probably i'm assuming will be released at some point but to the n.f.l.'s discretion they could doctor that video or the transcript of the interview in any way to skew it one way or the other even if he does go out there and kill it maybe they will make it seem like he was just mediocre no team wants to sign him so it seems like kind of a. to be hard for him he has to have the most amazing day not that it's been the talk about sports but given what a polarizing figure he is and given the what i think is the conic stance that he took and the bravery he took as being one of those outer leaves like a mohammad ali to stand up and say i'm going to talk politics as part of my job as being you know being on the cover of magazines and being a figure it's interesting but the n.f.l. doesn't win with any of this and even with this it would seem saying the even if your doctor video when are you crazy would you doctor video of your the n.f.l. because then it's eventually the video gets out and then people say you doctored the video putting that on a saturday even the way they've set it up it's it feels as if somebody was bored and said we need a scandal and so we're going to do this but the other the other important thing is that's why not just put him on like everyone else and give him a shot and if he doesn't play well then he doesn't play well i mean i think there is something to be said and like hear from you guys on it but there is something to be said for the argument that some people claim that cabernet is not what he once was he certainly wasn't by the time that he was out of the league what he was when he went to the super bowl but there are a lot of quarterbacks who aren't right and there's space right now with specially when you have a lot of people going out with injuries there is space right now for him so why not just give him a legitimate shot because at this point the n.f.l. only wins by him being back on the that's true they do and the you know about 2 hours ago there was a the n.f.l. tweeted out a list of 11 teams that would actually be attending this press semi-pro day i guess their photo foday if you want to call it that some of them are the new york giants the new york jets the washington redskins teams that are not doing well they are look they are relying on backup quarterbacks are trying to play quarterback like daniel jones who have never played before they are looking for people to fill this spot and cabinet could fill that void he's not going to run a warning over yet was there even if he's up and goes out the money will be a sold out day for the n.f.l. as i read and i write yes we don't know but i want to i want to move on to one thing quickly here too capper that also came up in the credible statement by u.s. soccer star megan repeat no. during an acceptance speech for 2010 glamour woman of the year i want you to take a listen to what but i'm so it's pretty incredible. i refuse to do that there's going to be ladders on every side all over the place and i'm not going to act like it wasn't calling capper nick to randburg in the me to movement concolor is garzon to many black lives matter the women of time harvey milk gloria steinem audrey laura trayvon martin san

washington. well washington probably wants to stop that project and i guess there are several reasons for that mainly the main reason is that this project will make you germany and europe in general more dependent on russian gas russia is already number one supplier of gas to germany with over 30 percent and we all know the germ of the trust has used to gas applies as a political tool against ukraine in 200620095 cutting off supplies so always such a possibility it is from the united states court of view and from the point of view of some critics of the project in europe is dangerous to make yourself dependable i also think the united states my probably tried to postpone the project to give ukraine some time to reach a new transit agreement with russia so that starting in 2020 the gas will still be flowing through ukraine otherwise ukraine will be more dependent for russian pressure on the vote the more vulnerable why then is germany trying to skirt the e.u. on laws that are meant to prevent the abuse of supplies. well i guess the german government is trying to do what the german economy thinks is good for her the german companies. participating in that project and it is a very lucrative project for the german for the german business or germany will be the major gas for russian gas in europe and this is of course very attractive and i also think the german government is going sid ring that in the coming years germany will germany will need more gas because it will it will be giving up on atomic energy and it will need some things to substitute that or to also also be giving up on oil on coal as a source of energy fossil fuels and that is why german government is. calculating that it will need more gas and this is why i think is the major reason for pushing that project forward oh man just tell me could the project still fail. i think this is very unlikely we have only a few weeks and the project will be nearly over so it's done 90 percent and i don't think that anything and you sanctions from the is going to stop it. before us from al this heat on thank you very much for putting money where your mouth is young you know we germans are showing the rest of the world how to invest in an ethical and environmentally friendly way the idea is to support those corporations that have building a sustainable future taking into account their impact on society and the planet and reports. for the trip to work or to go out shopping or to visit friends. mostly uses a bicycle not just because they're on every street corner and cheap to rent the 28 year old is concerned about protecting the environment wherever and whenever we can . we also have to look at. all the things we're going to. have are not just your mode of transportation so what i'm also doing is looking for ways to invest my money which will which will help. the environment over the next 50 years i consulted nor da wants to invest his money sustainably he puts his money into renewable energy funds rather than coal or weapons and he also invests in companies that respect workers' rights in scandinavia large banks like norway's d.n.b. began creating those types of funds 30 years ago long before it was thought of in the rest of europe today portfolio manager yun secrets and sees rapidly growing demand and many investors want more than just a small carbon footprint i think we see more and more sophisticated questions they are not on there anymore just measuring their carbon footprint of a company which is not a very good indicator of if the company is responsible or not but they are looking more deeper into it and see what the companies are really doing for society that has been influencing decisions about where a fund invests and where not kids will burn has developed a process to make diesel fuel out of plastic waste he's just built a factory to make the fuel on an industrial scale that's perfect for environmentally conscious investors. if you sold or could be part of the solution to the plastic race problem and to have large investors like could be in be focusing on the this is of course a strength to what we are doing. the fact that these new technologies don't offer maximum profits is not a deal breaker for those investors. if you only look to maximize values right now you might. go in through the zoster. and so for me it's not a big issue to sacrifice some revenue now to my well yes sustainability and profit are no longer mutually exclusive according to fund managers secrets and quite the opposite finding solutions to mankind's most important problems can also become a long term business model numbers but it's not just scandinavia that's going green on the investment front the european investment bank will stop funding fossil fuels by the end of 2021 to help fight climate change that includes natural gas projects it comes into effect a year later than proposed after lobbying by e.u. member states many european countries still rely heavily on guest you power of their tricity grids the bank says policy changes need to strike the right balance between protecting the environment and keeping the lights on across the

this is what the defense of washington look like. 1864 and 1865 as the confederate surges towards washington, d.c.? into 60, by 1864 there are 68 forts around washington, d.c. supported by 900 batteries. cannons, 98 mortars , 20 miles of earthworks. 30 miles of military railroad that connected the forts to each other. down 20,000 acres of trees. from byout that, we go the time they get to d.c. there will be 68 forts around the capital. is why i was left to say it was one of the most heavily fortified cities in the world. this is kind of what the fort looked like. this is where they came into the fort at. magazine where they store the ammunition. lincoln.ort if we know anything about the they had a really large fort there. i want you to look closely at this image. image. a later work if you see in the corner, there 100 rifle that could fire a pound round three quarters of a mile. thesetarted mounting of 1863. july imagesthe most popular is this gun number 13. this is maryland. it is quite traumatic. you can see the number there. a 500 pound rifle engaged in battle. we have an image of a southeast fort near the river. we know it is a lakefront images we

washington, george mount vernon, everyone is bringing rum. it is served on washington's table. martha washington said in a letter to the house manager that rum may always be had, imported from a distillery locally in alexandria, virginia, but also from the caribbean. part of the economy, bringing in hired workers to get some of their wages in rum, and people who received rum for anything from childbirth to getting a cow out of the mire. it's one of these moments where you can see how different groups of people who you don't always think of in conjunction with each other interact around an item that's part of everyday life. >> when and where is it invented? prof. smith: i argue in the book that rum was initially invented in barbados, in the early to mid-17th century, when europeans from england and scotland as well as native people from south america and africans arrive in barbados, within about 18 months of each other. there is a moment when people want alcohol, all those groups of individuals were used to having alcohol, but they were far removed from where they had lived previously, and certai

washington dam -- washington, d.c. and around the country, so you can make up your own minds. c-span is brought to you by your cable or satellite provider. brendan carr is our guest this week on "the communicators. david mccabe of the new york times is our guest resporter. commissioner carr, there was an announcement about the c band and 5g. can you walk us through what happened? >> 5g and securing u.s. leadership has been our top priority. it is going to usher in a new opportunity of opportunities. jobs, educational opportunities for our kids. cutting edge innovations we hear about. from connected cars. what worked without 5g? there a lot of things we need to do. leadership.s. one of them goes to your question. we have to put out a lot of new spectrum bands to enable all of these new inventions. c band is one of them. band.d low, mid, and high this announcement is a good win for the u.s. pushing it out into the marketplace. >> is in it being used by satellite companies? commissioner carr: almost all of the spectrum we have right now is being used by someone else. so the question is, how do we make sure it is put to the highest and best use. we are putting forward a way to protect those uses well opening up with that band to more use cases. it is going to be a real win. for the american people that want more connectivity. >> there has been push back by congress on this. commissioner carr: when you step back, i think there is broad and bipartisan support for securing leadership. we are going to have to jump through some hurdles. u.s. leadership was far from secured. there were other countries, china, putting up new cell sites. that is another component of 5g. you have to do for we have to densify the network. they were putting up sites at 12 times the pace. in 2017, we modernized infrastructure rules. the results speak for themselves. the u.s. had the first build out of 5g. 14 cities got 5g. we have cities today. we are going to have twice the percentage of 5g connections as china. it is a success story. we have had to be aggressive and take bold action to do that. >> at what point will the fcc >> at what point will the fcc start considering that proposal and when will public comment start? commissioner carr: there are aspects we have been working on for one year, one point five years. i expect a vote in the coming years or months. my goal is to hold an auction of the spectrum. i think we are solidly on track to do that. that is going to mark a good win for american families. >> something you alluded to is the case for 5g. what is something that has been overhyped? >> the same dynamic you are talking about, is it too much hype, is it not? it is something we saw play out when we were shifting from 3g or 4g. there were a lot of articles and analysts writing, saying, is it worth it? are they going to cut copper lines? it is hard to envision the transformations that are going to come. think of your life 10 years ago. how you got across town. you pick up the phone, call a taxi, now with 4g and smart phones, you can have uber and lyft on your phone. think about banking ten years ago. we are on the cusp of seeing that type of transformational shift in 5g we saw in four g. are we overstating it? i think that shows a lack of vision. when people weren't sure about 3g to 4g. part of that falls on us as regulators. we have to talk about 5g in a way that relieves pain points for daily lives. it is not just faster speeds, quicker downloads. it is going to open up virtual reality or augmented reality. a lot of people like myself do not like going to the grocery store. with 5g, it is going to open up new opportunities. imagine putting virtual reality goggles on. walking down the aisle, you recognize, grabbing a piece of fruit. sticking it in your grocery cart virtually and having it delivered to your cart. these are things people are struggling with. >> there are cases where maybe carriers have gotten out over their skis, like at&t, they had a 5g turnover. what is the goal making sure they are being honest? when it is fully in their honest to make sure we are delivering it as fast as possible? >> part of this goes to the approach with mapping. making sure there is coverage areas, accurate coverage areas. real-time information about speeds. increasingly commercial apps you can download. our role cut through the regulatory red tape. enabling the private sector to get out there and invest and build. >> to tie this back to the c band, the wall street journal editorialized, the unfortunate reality is the government auction probably will not happen for years. u.s. 5g will lack because of it. >> there are a couple of points i disagree with. i would share some of the concerns expressed there. here are the facts. we are committed to conducting this auction in 2020. there is a concern it could take multiple years. once you realize that, this makes a lot of sense. whether it was a private auction or public auction, both are going to take place in 2020. that is more than enough to take place. >> is the transition going to be as consequential as the analog to hd? >> a lot of regulators are struggling with a lack of shin. it is in us in government to understand where the government is going. we have to pass the gretzky test. we have to be skating where the puck is going and not where it is today. we are seeing the lack of vision. henry ford supposedly said if people asked him what they wanted, they would have said faster horses. the first cars were called horseless carriages. we see some of that lack of vision with 5g. disruptivehow truly it can be. that ties into a lot of our work. sprint t-mobile is a transaction we have been reviewing. some have voted against it. saying we are living in the golden age of wireless. i do not think so. i think show a little vision, people providers are adding more wireless subs. one of the first plays was to add more choice and competition for in-home broadband. if you have that vision, it shows you understand where technology is moving. >> which regulators are lacking vision? >> if you take the sprint-t-mobile transaction and the people who have voted against it. there are those who voted against it. saying, we should preserve the status quo. consumers have what they call the status quo. a lot of consumers are not happy with the status quo. those of us at the fcc or antitrust authorities, they are looking to put the brakes on some of these transactions. a lot of these things make a lot of sense. trying to block this? which would lead to a strong competitor to the market leaders. a lot of want to see the increased choice. >> what makes you think this would lead to a strong third competitor? this would enable sprint and t-mobile to have the same scope as verizon and at&t. up until now, they have had deeper holdings. stronger balance sheets. larger infrastructure builds. cutsomers. you can finally have some of the same scope. they committed to build out 5g to 99% of the population. a big win for u.s. leadership. they committed in-home broadband to 28 million households. which goes back to this mid band discussion, which has been underutilized. they are are able to use that spectrum for american consumers. time. took a bit more that thedent are you enough?aggressive >> the review at the fcc lasted well over a year, beyond the clock we try to meet in these transactions we dug into the record. i did not think it was necessary to get the remedies and divestitures. what you saw was, we define the market using a definition we first adopted in 2008. out.e 4g wsas built when you look at competition through that view, the fcc was clearly transaction was in the public interest. i pushed to modernize our approach. when you see the market where competitors are competing, the benefits get bigger. >> has the att merger played out as it should? >> we are seeing robust competition. when i see consumer choice and options, it is not the first time we see it build out. we can only measure success when every community gets a shot at next gen connectivity. some of the markers for that, i spent a lot of time outside of of d.c. i have been in 33 states. sioux falls, south dakota, they are going to be firing up 5g. i have been to small towns like fisher, indiana. larger cities like san jose still had zero. when you are looking at progress, success, we have to measure it by those types of stories. >> there has been some pushback from localities with regard to the fcc's approach to putting up these small cells. >> that is right. i fully understand. stepping back, 5g requires a massive build out. these are backpack sized antennas that go on utility poles. what i learned, spending time in those cities, there are commonsense policies put in place resulting in those structure bills. we build on those policies and put them in place. when someone asks to put guardrails in local decision making, we are seeing that. we had dozens of mayors, county officials speaking out in favor of the decision. they get the big picture about what these are going to bring to their community. >> is it important the u.s. beat china when it comes to 5g? >> i think it matters in a couple of respects. it requires a significant investment of capital. capital is finite and it can move around the globe. when you set your country up, that is going to attract the capital needed. the color tree that leads has an edge in terms of economic dominance for the next decade. it has been a top priority at the fcc. we put forward a plan in this administration and we have been executing to maintain u.s. leadership. the results are in and they are positive for the u.s. >> how does this apply to huawei? any believe it poses threat to our national security. the fcc is going to vote on subsidies. why is this move important to protecting security? >> 5g, it is no longer just about phone calls or emails. it is about connecting everything from our banking system to smart cities to agriculture. we have to make sure the 5g networks are secure. we have concerns about the threats posed by huawei and other equipment. when it is embedded in the u.s. network. we will be voting to stop sending taxpayer funds to subsidize the inclusion of huawei gear. we are proposing going further than that, taking insecure equipment out of networks. i have asked the fcc to expand that not just to carriers that receive support for any provider that has this insecure equipment. those are important steps to have a safe and secure network. >> what evidence has convinced you there is a threat? >> we got a lot of briefings, some of which are confidential. but a lot of public information as well. the unity of interest in control, in particular, and china, a law that requires them from a surveillance and other perspective to potentially do that bidding. we have seen it in other contexts as well. there is an instance where a call from los angeles directed to washingtonc was rerouted by a company owned by china. it had to do with the china mobile proceeding. there's a lot of concern about what happens when companies owned and controlled by the people's republic of china have equipment in our networks. that is why you do not see a lot of it in the core of telecom providers today. we are looking at the smaller providers. >> the chinese companies deny there is any sort of threat here. you mentioned the rural providers. rip and replace is expensive. if they have to take the equipment out, they have to replace it with something that costs a lot of money. what would you say to providers who say you are not only cutting me off, you are footing the bill for replacing that equipment? >> we have heard a lot from small, rural providers. i spent time in rural montana. i have been out to sites where huawei's networking gear is on that site. they expressed the same concern, how are they going to fund a rip and replace? is there a funding mechanism at the fcc? cong

washington to get washington. heard dennis's't talk on that so i could not comment too much, but with the state of lee's army, i don't know that washington would've been a great target for him. i think the reason he wanted to move into the field here in maryland was specifically to get union forces out of washington. lee's writing suggests he has some concept about how much the union army was in disarray in early september. i see lee's goal very much as not necessarily being here in sharpsburg, but getting the federal army out of washington, dispersing some of the federal strength that is concentrating in the capital. get some of the army into the field where it is easier for him to operate. lee, ever declare a specific objective like harrisburg? daniel: it depends on who you listen to and which account you read. some accounts suggest he declared harrisburg and objective but i don't think he actually did. i think his objective is a victory in the field over union forces. folks, thank you for coming out today, thank you for joining us. i will be happy to sign copies of my book afterward. it is so nice to see all of you. again, thank you f

washington's decided that they are coming in from all types african american troops from rhode island command or on daniel morgan and so where these are the sites where it's decided, everybody wants to be george washington or martha washington or abigail but it takes thousands of men to an answer those questions whether they're successful or not to be noncommittal. any of these places are monuments that talk about what we have done and that's a question i ask when you're in a car for air conditioning on and you decide and you go back to the coroner say others uniforms here on, but take a moment and realize that uniforms are being shot, and not being fed, not being paid fighting for a white is in america on so that is what drove like grad school and continues to drive me, so any battlefields then. >> you don't even need to be in a battlefield to think about the sacrifice, just a few blocks from here you can see the tomb of the adnan revolutionary war soldiers so very narrow check that out check it out, if you have anything billy? i'm gonna take a very lazy approach but i feel meaningful, if you want to learn why the revolutionary war is important step outside, just prevented, look around you see those buildings and people li

washington our washington bureau chief alexander phenomenas on the story going to need to you alexandra so what we just heard there in itself is like quid pro quo with force what does it mean for trial. well that is another testimony another piece of evidence pointing to this direction that presidents trump's decision to withhold military aid to rick ukraine to block it for a certain amount of time that it was not as a decision decision based on a policy decision but it was rubber in order to advance his political gains at least that what we learned from their witnesses today for the very 1st time we had the opportunity to listen to 2 top officials who were listening in on this infamous phone call between president donald trump and president zelinsky of ukraine and i think it was very remarkable what the tenant colonel vince men had to say and how he described his concerns being steve cooley deeply concerned about this phone call and how he expressed his concerns to the national security council and top lawyers all talked a sense of duty and it was really all chords to listen to the republicans and how there were trying to undermine his testimony questioning his loyalty to this country even though he is an american citizen citizen and the iraq war veteran how they are trying to you know ask him whether he ever leaked any documents information how they are trying to discredit him as witness and i think that it was not successful is a tactic that we saw last week so you're exactly right and describing what we've seen today to a 4 witnesses have testified we've got 2 more coming up later who are they and what are you expecting from. those 2 witnesses were cold by the republicans to testify we are going to hear from tim morrison who used to be russian experts on the national security council and who testified behind closed doors that he thought that the foreign code was. ok that was nothing illegal about the phone call and we are also going to hear from the former special invoice to ukraine could fall current one of president trump's points man on ukraine who told the investigators that there was no quid pro quo that stimulatory aides to crane was not conditioned on the ukraine and now in sing and this to geisha into joe biden and his son hunter however we also have to say that this witness could pose a problem for the republicans because several other witnesses testified and contrast to his story so far all right to our washington bureau chief alexander phenomenon the story for us today alexander thank you we're now into south america among the after demonstrators took to the streets in chile president's about is struggling to restore call thousands have again gathered in the capital santiago demanding better education health care and pensions and b. and yet as resignation millions find it difficult to make ins needs in the country and are forced to live in makeshift camps in shanty town. this is my house this is where a friend of mine sleeps. and i go this is my room come on in of the way i'm not ashamed to show it to you i give it away this is where i sleep it's a bit messy because on the weekends i like to rest. and. i believe in the virgin and in god. it's thanks to them that i'm here when i 1st got to some p.r. go i had to sleep out on the street. that he has lived in this camp in central santiago for 15 years he became homeless when his family rejected him after he came out as homosexuals here he found ac

washington. in order to get to washington they have two options. they can take steamers and go around fortress monroe and up the chesapeake bay or the river. or they can go by land utilizing the railroad network that comes into washington. that is what most of the soldiers going into washington are going to do. the problem with that is there is no direct rail link between baltimore, say philadelphia, new york and washington, d.c. everything has to go to baltimore and change trains. soldiers who are assembling and preparing to go to washington, when they get to baltimore, they have to get out of there trains, walk a mile through downtown baltimore to the next train station. baltimore was the most rapidly secessionist part of the state of maryland. many of the citizens of baltimore were not pleased to see troops in union blue marching through their city. on april 19th, a group of massachusetts soldiers from the sixth massachusetts militia going to be attacked on the streets of baltimore. in total, 4 massachusetts men are killed or mortally wounded. more than 10 civilians are killed. it ends up becoming a free-for-all in the streets of baltimore. this is the first true bloodshed of the civil war where you have soldiers on

washington. 0ur washington correspondent chris bucklerjoins me now. where do we go from here, chris? yes, simply more impeachment hearings. and you got a real sense today of what you can expect, and thatis today of what you can expect, and that is republicans and democrats drawing lines and trying to put out their own message about exactly what donald trump did with ukraine. they may have been questioned here today by american politicians, but all of this was for the benefit of the american public. actually, we didn't learn that much new. instead, what we saw were democrats and republicans trying to use the facts, what there is known, into their way of thinking. democrats saying very clearly that the president was abusing his powers, that they were going to far in trying to use a foreign government to investigate his political rival for domestic reasons. 0n the other hand, republican saying, actually, he did nothing wrong. military aid, which was threatened to be suspended, was not actually suspended, and an investigation wasn't actually launched, so what is the big deal here? the reality is this is going to continue, but as we get each of these witnesses, they are going to drill down into information about president trump and try and get nuggets of information that try to sway the public one way or another. but i don't think there is any doubt that we are heading towards impeachment and to a trial of some sort in the senate. in the meantime, as we saw injohn sobel‘s report, donald trump has been saying he is too busy to watch the impeachment hearing —— sopel. he has been meeting the turkish president, has he? what has he been saying, exactly? yes, president erdogan and trump meeting at the white house, and there is still that controversy about the whole circumstances surrounding president erdogan's invasion of northern syria, suggestion of course that donald trump gave that the green light, strongly denied by the white house, but which continues to haunt the president. actually today, during the news conference, we saw two men doing their best to try and paint a good relationship to each other. in fa ct, good relationship to each other. in fact, president trump said at one stage that relationships with president erdogan and turkey have been outstanding stop but actually, thatis been outstanding stop but actually, that is not entirely true when it comes to the countries, because congress is very concerned about president erdogan and turkey, particularly over their buying of a russian air missile system, and of course about their engagement with the kurdish forces that saw a lot of chaos and conflict in northern syria. and there remains this pressure inside congress for sanctions to be placed on turkey, for there to be action taken against them. on the other hand, president trump seems to say about president erdogan that, a, he is a fan great president, those were words he used in the news conference today, although i suspect that actually of all the words that were said, they will be overshadowed by the things that president trump said about impeachment. he was asked about whether he paid any attention to the hearings. his work —— his words were no, and he described them as a joke and a sham and a witch—hunt. it gives you an indication that in washingtont ukraine, rather than turkey. and we shall continue talking as well. thanks so much, ta ke talking as well. thanks so much, take care. the prime minster has been confronted by angry residents in south yorkshire during a visit to some of the towns and villages affected by flooding. mrjohnson told residents in stainforth and fishlake that he understood their anguish. he promised the government would do more to help those who have lost their homes and businesses. 0ur north of england correspondent judith moritz reports. borisjohnson may have hoped for a warm reception in stainforth, instead some gave him the cold shoulder and others vented their angen shoulder and others vented their anger. we need to know. shoulder and others vented their anger. we need has low. shoulder and others vented their anger. we need has lost her home lake, where she has lost her home and business. i made a direct appeal to him, directly in the eyes. i said please, mrjohnson, come and see what is happening. i c
