this is a waterloo medal.tory where the menace of napoleon was dealt with once and for all. and it's one of those medals every collector dreams of. so tell me how you got it. well, it is actually my great-great-great- great-grandfather's. it was passed down the family. harriman: i think it was an exciting object because it was a direct link with the owner's family. and he could say that he could hold in his hand an object which his ancestor had held. he was called william mcneil. he was born in 1795 and at the age of 15 he joined the army in leeds. and so by the age of 20, that's when he went to the battle of waterloo. harriman: i just think that that's a launch into your family's history. and he could also tell you that on the 18th of june, 1815, exactly what his ancestor was doing, and that was banging two sticks on a drum. this is really rare because you don't often find medals that are inscribed to drummers. waterloo medals-- they cost anything between sort of £1500, 2,000. - okay. - but i want you to prom

was gettysburg really the waterloo of the rebellion? thank you very much. [applause] [applause] professor, we will take some questions. try as we might to promote the theater, maybe somebody can ask a question and we will be able to better answer it. thank you. >> thank you, doctor. what an excellent speech. my great-grandfather was jasper green of alabama or the roanoke invincible, and he was one of the 70 that were cadged into allegedly picked up this and according to harry, i have been to you at your hometown and it is absolutely breathtaking and i couldn't see where my great-grandfather was captured because they're playing golf over there right now. but anyway, my point is that one of the things i learned through my family history studying this is that the iron brigade of the unit that faced the 13th in alabama that day, had tediously faced those at the stonewall inn fredericksburg where doubleday had been thrown off and then they had also faced, if i'm not mistaken in the cornfield and it strikes me that it's highly unusual for one or alabama and anoth

when i was on the waterloo school board, i saw academic failure, a lot of it. shrunk,ions had employment had shrunk. the unions had been busted in that town. towent from top-performing mediocre at best. kids and i heard of kids that went from school to school to school, three or four times, living on couches in different locations throughout the city. they did that because their parents were working two jobs, three jobs to keep income streams. they didn't have any time for their kids. that is what we face, ladies and gentlemen. incomeum -- median continues to decline. we need to reverse that. we need to do it and frame our policies for this state on incomes and let the tent poles be raised in education, and environment, in infrastructure and roads, and human services, in the regions, we need to work together with a plan. that is what i am for posing. when i talk about fuller, when fuller built the building, he never built the sidewalks. he never built the sidewalks. he was asked about that. he said, well, if i let that building sit and watch where the people wa

bruce and carolyn still live in waterloo with three children all attending west waterloo high school where carolyn works as a social studies teacher. he is ready to succeed the great tom carper as our next senator. please welcome our friend, bruce braley.

[applause] it is exciting to be back at wingding and is exciting to be back with so many rate democrats who aren't waiting until next fall to focus on what we are going to do together to make sure that 2014 is the beginning of a new future for the state of iowa. you are going to make that happen. we need to get started now because we are not going to have the great campaign organization of our president helping all of these great candidates. that is why you're being here is so important to our cause. i want to tell you that

who in some ways her message of toughness and plainness of being iowa's daughter, the daughter of waterloo't necessarily comport with some of her behavior, her showing up late for events, for instance, chris, rubbing local party organizers the wrong way. one of the classic examples of this is that event only a night after winning the iowa straw poll, sharing the stage with rick perry, it was rick perry's debut on the stage that night, on the presidential stage. he'd only announced the day before on the day of the straw poll, and she waited on her bus. the crowd was waiting for her. she didn't mingle with people. it was a dinner event. and by contrast, rick perry had mingled and done quite well. >> okay. let me go to lizz winstead about this. i don't know what the comedy is in this whole thing except, you know, a peacock today, feather duster tomorrow which is the nature of the political beast we serve here. you never know what's going to turn around, but i thought she had a very good chance at winning the republican nomination. they were running right wing. she's a right winger, had the ho

the whole waterloo hub where you have a lot of smaller companies, a lot of startups, there's still a lot of goodwill towards the company where a lot of these people, either have worked to blackberry or gone on to start their own startups or are working on accelerators and gone to school where blackberry has invested a lot of money. i think there's definitely still, you know, a lot of interest in the company and a desire to see it succeed and whether that means a canadian entity of some sort wants to invest money and to keep the company going, i don't know. >> no one wants to ever see a company fail but what's really interesting on the stock, dan ernst, looking at the year-to-date performance of blackberry and some of its other major smartphone rivals, samsung is down and apple is down 12%. htc is down 48%. it's not like it's only stock that's been losing in terms of a stock price this year, but in terms of going forward, what do you think is the best option for this company? >> i mean -- >> dan ernst? >> the problem for blackberry is that the platform was probably two to three years

the board of directors up in waterloo, ontario may be getting very serious now. who would buy blackberry? who might the partners be? we'll ask those questions in 30 seconds, and is florida sinking? days after tiger woods said his $50 million home was on shaky ground, a resort near orlando falls into the earth. first though to sue down at the nyse. hi, sue. >> hi, ty. pretty dramatic pictures there. stocks, meanwhile, well off the lows of the day. right now let's take a look at how the dow and s&p are faring. right now the dow jones industrial average is off 14 points and the s&p is off about 2. more markets in a minute. first though as ty mentioned blackberry. the board is looking at its options right now, and that could include a sale of blackberry. it also could mean some kind of joint venture, and it could mean some sort of a partnership. the company has been under fire for some time. its new blackberry 10 smartphone came out with great fanfare but the reception has been lukewarm since then. year to date the stock is down about 13%, but on those restructuring

they are going to meet their waterloo. >> well, they can find out every night watching "politicsnation." but melissa, some right-wingers, some on the republican party rather has pushed back against this far right notion of shutting down government. tom cole, the congressman says it's suicidal. bob corker says it's silly. krauthammer says it's nuts. richard burr, the senator says the dumbest idea i've ever heard of. so there is even some division among republicans with these far right advocates have shut the government down. >> in fact, i think the divisions among the republicans is the key political question here. so look at the fact that mitch mcconnell is going to be primary. look at the fact that lindsey graham is going to be primary. tough primaries. for folks who are leadership in this party. at the same time we saw a recent pew poll telling us that a little over 50% of republicans who were polled think that this party should move farther to the right, believe that this party is insufficiently conservative. so i think exactly what you are seeing. in the gerrymander thanksgiving di

. >> researchers at the university of waterloo in canada measured how players respond physiologicallyy gamble and showed that the new machines can make them think they're winning even when they're not. the gambler almost always gets some money back. if he puts in a dollar, he might get back 50¢. but the sounds and flickering lights trick his brain into thinking he came out ahead. the constant feeling of winning creates so much pleasure, says natasha schull, that regular players can slip into a trancelike state, a place she calls "the zone." >> one gambler told me that when he's in the zone, he couldn't remember his children's name. >> you go into that trance, that zone, that box. nobody can touch you. you have escaped from reality. no one can ask you for anything. >> when you sat in front of those machines, did you get in the zone? did you have a buzz? >> i was having a love affair with that machine. it was the same as a kiss from a lover. >> really? >> it was sweet, sweet.

. >> jim can waterloo demint is living on the moon.dent obama will not be repealing his own obama care. to be fair, demint has put really one real good idea on the table if you're a republican. for the first time ever, a republican has come up with a replacement plan for obama care. jim demint is pushing the falsehood that uninsured americans will "get better health care"? is just going over to the emergency room. we all know that is a lie. it is going to move health care costs up. and it's going to put american lives at risk. now, this summer, we've heard a lot of lies. here's what you need to know about obama care and nothing more to simplify all of this. the lynchpin in this is that the republicans want to give the power to the insurance companies. they want the insurance companies to control your life. they want the insurance companies to send you those letters and pick up the phone and call you and deny you because you might be sick. think about that. this is who the republicans want to give the power to. president obama wants to

obamacaretic because -- many of my colleagues on both sides of the capital want to use this as the waterloo this is where they want to put the stake in the ground on obamacare to defund it. that level to have of discussion in september when we get back. whether or not we are going to do that. host: what about what the speaker had to say yesterday about a continuing resolution and that sequencers and should stay in place? guest: absolutely. sequestration number one has to say in place third those are the only budget cuts that we have certainly a get machete approach is inappropriate. maybe we can work on doing it the right way. but we need to keep those cuts in place. speaker is trying to work to have the least dramatic october 1 or september 30. that is his job. i wish him well and that, but it is going to be difficult. terry, aresentative couple of the articles that we saw in this morning's paper were about divides within the republican party among a the rand paul-chris christie kerfuffle. .ea party is there division within the party as well yo? guest: there are a range of philosophies wit
