>> yes. >> commissioner weisman? >> yes. >> president lam? >> yes. >> 7 ayes. >> i do want to appreciate elliot du shawn and he's been a helpful partner in having clear expert but i share my time here having worked with meagan and her commitment and dedication to the district as employee and parent so i think as always, i've always kept that in mind. it's the 49,000 students including your own behind the numbers you're presenting so thank you to your commitment to our students. [applause] >> thank you. and i just want to also close, thank you again so much, meagan for your service. you are a true public servant at heart. i know it hasn't been easy. i still remember the -- the long, long hours of, in the throws ever nearly looking at the financials sustainability for this district while in covid, while thinking about how are we keeping our students, our staff safe and just the most difficult time so i just want to extend my thanks to you and i wish you all the luck back at the city and county and just like dr. wayne mentioned, i know that and

i am worried that this is shaping p to be just like the andrew weisman bob muller special council partisanm of prosecutors that are knowing to go after donald trump with a vengeance and not be fair as the special council statute demands. >> what a coincidence, they named a special prosecutor days after donald trump suggested he declares he's going to run if president and just after the republicans gain control of the house. what a coincidence. it's just, it's almost embare esing that -- >> -- >> yeah, and you look at this background i think you're going to hear lot more about this so-called independence of the special caught prosecutor. look at his run-ins in his proximity to lois learner in that investigation that the house is involved with. greg jarrett, joe conwhich, thank you very much for joan us tonight. before we go any further let's wish president biden a very happy 80th birthday. it's on sunday. the oldest president in american history will get even older and during his trip overseas the struggle was real. have a look. >> will help turbo charge the excuse me, turbo charge the emer

you're thinking, why is weisman talking about that? when i heard that he was working on this case, i just let a huge sigh of relief. as you know, i have talked publicly and privately about some concerns about the department of justice's team on this matter. not that they are not smart, lovely, public servants. but they are not who you would go to in terms of complicated aggressive investigations. and the trial lawyers, david raskin this all of that. he's like susan of injure, leading the district attorneys casey you mentioned. they have had stellar people who would be your go-to people. it just made me feel like, okay, the department really gets it. they are staffing this appropriately. i think that the combination of david raskin with merrick garland integrity and backbone is just an extremely strong combination. now to kendrick kingsbury, who is she? she is a defendant who david raskin is currently prosecuting. what did she do? she is a low level fbi intelligence analyst who had classified documents that she kept at her home. she was

>> joel weisman's administration is trying to do some difficult things and we have these bills stuck in congress that they're trying to move forward and i understandably people are frustrated at how long it's taking but it's important work and they've been trying to do big things. unprecedented things. and encovid has obviously not helped but i like to remind myself that the year after the president, one party is elected it's not unusual for us to suffer in the next election. you just have to keep our enthusiasm, our energy, the other side was more motivated obviously but we have some work to do. we have some work to do. we have to keep people engaged. the administration has toshow results and they will. they're working on it . once we get a little more g progress we will be having a slightly different conversation . >> question about your background here., asks what did you study in college and what led you to apply to bean intern at the white house, did hillary come to interview you for that position ? >> i never got an interview with hillary and this is one of the things that she

and then, a book for 12 weisman.hen, in the article, they say more no more than 12 people could understand it. that's totally fabricated by that times. that's not true at all. i mean, a lot of people understood relativity by this point. but interestingly, well, actually, some variation of, it even today. and only for people to understand einstein's theory. no, for people in the building i've been in understand einstein's theory. and then, the times article gets picked up by other newspapers, so as you can kind of track inaccuracies creeping in this time so some of the inaccuracies include things like einstein's nationality, which i think is a particularly interesting one that people began to forgot. the fact that he is jewish, and of drops off the map fairly quickly as well. and the two expeditions, one to africa, and the other to brazil, get completed, like, quickly. and the actual numerical predictions disappear, essentially, almost instantly. so, goodness only knows what happened, had they existed -- ery much. >>

weisman that, she had been talking to about this new cataloging system that she had learned. this was the system, this is a system lauren was to use. but lauren was, like i've had a system in place for the last year. to start over, are you really asking me to completely start over and do everything? again, just a disconnect between the two of them. i just, like i said, my heart goes out to mrs. pierce. and i'm so grateful that we, i would argue, in the curators office, certainly there's many challenges and pressures. but we are not seeing that type of -- i mean, she really pioneered away. a way to be a professional in that position that has benefited us all. so, i am very grateful for that. >> well, thank you, melissa, susan, elaine, for a terrific conversation about a very important topic. and thank you all for your excellent questions. >> if you're enjoying american history tv, sign up for our newsletter using the qr code on the screen to receive the weekly schedule of upcoming programs like lectures in history, the presidency and more. sign up for the american history tv n
