but they are interested in the west. the west is the future and the west is federal. it's the future because there will be future states. the future states will vote. they will potentially be able to ratify or block the ratification of constitutional amendments. and the west is federal, it's controlled by congress. it's easy to overlook now. it's hard to avoid taking the present and projecting it back into the past. and thinking the past must have been just like that. one thing that is different is common during that time, before the civil war, everyone almost literally everyone, i should not talk in absolutes, virtually everyone except weather you were opposed to slavery or an all out advocate of slavery, everyone agreed, the federal government could not do anything about slavery in a state where it existed. the federal government could not touch it. often students asked me, why didn't they do something? why didn't they get rid of slavery where it existed instead of fighting about the territory? the government cannot do anything about those states. the west as territ

of the west over the early history and development of the west. clearly the western landscape, the flora, the fauna and the topography has affected profoundly who we are as the people. even before the west was physically explored the idea of the west was incredibly powerful and american imagination. even great writers wrote about the west, the whole idea about what the west represented was extraordinarily important and of course to many of the pivotal figures who actually wrote about the west directly. we had heard a little bit about the concept of the frontier in american history. there had been many books written about the power of the frontier, the idea of the frontier in american history. early reports, settlers were about the west and the context of how this guy is bigger here. the stars are brighter, the horizons are broader, the animals are bigger and wilder. all of these things feature enormously in our early history and have a lot of residence. ideas of self-reliance and freedom. we should talk about this now that we are all settled, we h

at the wild west town. the virginian has a code of the west. if he gives his word he keeps it and he has never written women. -- never rude to women. the virginian events the scene of the shoot out in the street between the good guy and the bad guy. you can almost visualize that happening last night at bear ranch. so there is an intense anxiety at this particular moment in the 1890s that the west has somehow profoundly changed. and just to wrap up, i think it is no coincidence that this is a moment in 1891 that we see the birth of the sierra club to help preserve some of that western. -- west. that we see the yosemite which has been a state park since the 1860s, in 1890 become a national park or as you will hear in a moment a number of federal acts passed to preserve the wilderness. there is intense anxiety in 1890s and americans are worrying about how to preserve what seemed to have just slipped through their grasp. >> let's pick up on that, dan -- i will ask both dan and sarah to weigh in on the ways in which this cultural anxiety about the c

i think of california as the west of the west. do nott of my students think of themselves as westerners. not the category that is relevant to them. if you pressup them on a number of things, they will identify themselves my number of other categories before they get a westerner, if at all. has been i for me have split my appointment between the university world and the museum. when the problems we face as who was going to come. we get people from all over, the los angeles area is willing looking to draw people from. who was going to come to western history museum in a world where the west or western history made not matter in the way it once did. we heard yesterday, the vision about western history mattering. vision ofed about a how western history mattered a great deal. roosevelt, anddy the notion of the west and the winning of the west as something that was celebrated at the core of what made america great. frederick jackson turner -- she spoke about the settlement and successive settlement of frontiers that shaped the american

and the new west. do you think it's a reaction to the increasing penetration into the jurisdictions of the rule of law? >> say the last part again? >> the increasing penetration of the rule of law into places -- >> yes. this gets to a point that i only briefly discussed but i think it's critical, which is that we are distinctive in the west, because, the federal government as sarah pointed out, owns so much of the land and has from the start because of the way it was a wired etc. and, then, it changed its mission over time so that it began balancing the mission and then all of the regulations that came in and the permitting came in so every time we pass environmental law we get a different agency with a different mission and each mission has to ping-pong across all the different agencies in order to manage anything. the agencies themselves have different missions and so, you get to one agency and get one answer and go to another and get another answer. there's no question that the federal presence in t

he came to know and love the west. it is important to understand why the mountain men are so viable in opening the west. it is partly due to the fact, that in the west, one of the ways to unlock this a dry and arid territory is to understand the rivers. that is all they did is follow the rivers and creeks. that is where the beavers were. in this kind of terrain if you do not know where the rivers are you are dead. within days. so, these guys had this intuitive understanding of the west that many people did not have. they knew the rivers. so, when the beaver trade kind of dropped out, we discussed it last night how the bottom fell out. carson was kind of out of work, and he somehow miraculously met someone named john fremont who was a explorer and the sun and law of the afro mentioned benton, -- the previously mentioned benton, and he had this idea to explore and go west and describe the flora and fauna of the west. he needed a scout and a guide who knew the river systems. that person was kit carson. that is when he bec

john west haley. john west haley was an unlikely warrior. then again, so were most of them more than 2 million men who shouldered muskets and donned union blue. naturally timid and shrinking, his words, wracked by 1000 fears and misgivings. john west haley actually sat out the first 16 months of the civil war in his hometown of biddeford. the town perched on the sacco river about a score south of portland, maine. i had no inclination, he reflected years later, for the business of war. then again, he could have never anticipated the halting progress of the federal war efforts in those first 16 months. he and so many patriotic northerners just like him had passed those months wringing their hands and rationalizing defeat. as you know, there were glimmers of hope, in the western theater, where ulysees s. grant had achieved two stunning victories by capturing forts henry and donaldson in 1862. and oh yes, grant had won that come-from-behind victory on the second day of shiloh in 1862. essay months that david vera gets fleet sailed past jackson a

the federal government bought the west, acquired the west and then created the states. those federal lands have been federal lands. they aren't ones that somehow got robbed from the people. they have always been federal lands, and quite frankly, they were lands which in many cases, nobody wanted, like nevada. [laughter] stephen: we have any nevadans out here? [laughter] would you like a follow-up? do we have time for one quick question? >> maybe one more. stephen: ok. any other questions? let me give you all a chance for one final remark, then. to sum it all up, send everyone home happy. [laughter] >> i think we are still trying to figure out how to live properly in the world. it has taken us a long time. we have been on this planet as species for more than 200,000 years, homo sapiens, trying to figure it out ever since we have been here and we are still struggling to do it. as you look at the future, that is how i think we have to confront the future. we have been trying to figure out how to make this planet work for us for a long time, and we haven't quite gotten it r

when you bring the west into that equation, when you bring the west into that framework, you consider this as a greater reconstruction project, it becomes that much more complicated and that much more paradoxical in its impact in terms of whose freedoms and whose losses matter. this is an era in which is not just a biracial order that needs to be re-sorted out, with places like california, where do you fit the chinese into this game? where do people of mexican ancestry, who having guaranteed citizenship rights under the treaty of guadalupe bay, where do they figure in in terms of how this will lay out? why is it you have an african- american regiment fighting against indians, and newly emancipated african-americans participating in the wars that are ending the freedoms of indian people? it is an era in which things get messy. unfortunately, the west is a messy place. >> that is very interesting. i think all of us have heard that the emergence of jim crow begins in the 1890s. let's talk about what is taught in the rest of the united states about racial laws. i think you are right, the

he came west. those were his happiest days and was a 20's when he mountain man, when he was living with the cheyenne and the arapahoe, and the mountain guys, and living this free world. they nearly trapped the beaver to extinction. then he became a hunter at a place called bends forward and participated in the hunting of the buffalo, which we all know where that ended. then he participated as a scout in the topographical corps expeditions that led to this mass exodus of immigrants west on the oregon trail. it led to the mormons coming, all these folks flooding to the west. creating, which then led to the railroads, and the railroads created this whole different west that he never really wanted to be a part of. it was clear by the end of his life that he was done with this new west. he did not understand this new west. and yet he was central to the creation of this west. fouled his own nest, he destroyed his own paradise. i think the ultimate part of the tragedy is he didn't fully realize that. he d

the code of the west. the good of the west was absolute loyalty to your group to him. the enemy of your group is your personal enemy. brain whennto your -- when you are a 19-year-old kit coming up in that culture. other tribes were your enemy. by the time he was 30 years old, that was so hard -- so baked into his personality that that is the way he viewed the american west. ed: when we are sitting here looking back, it is all very clear that that was not an appropriate course of action, what he did was very bad. but if you look at it through the lens of his people and his time, it is a different story. it reminded me of another character from one of your books, the captain. how he had this idea to go on this exploration to find seat in the middle of the polar ice cap. if you could find the secret passage can get to this warm topical sea. looking back at that, you think that is the craziest thing. can you talk a little bit about the importance of judging these characters whether it is kit carson or theodore roosevelt, looking at them in their time. -- in their time peri

what was the original reason for kanye west to come to the white house yesterday? ted: the stated reason from sir host: what was the reason for kanye west to come to the white house? sarah huckabee sanders and said it was to talk about criminal justice reform, but as you saw from the meeting, kanye west went off on a lot of different topics. : kid rock was there, the beach boys were there, what were some of these other meetings about yesterday? : right before the meeting with kanye west, there was a book signing ceremony for the music -- there was a bill signing legislation for the music modernization act. this is legislation about licensing and royalty reform to streamline that process. it gets incredibly technical, but this has been a long-desired legislative achievement for the music industry and they finally got it, and trump happened to be the president to sign it, so naturally, the question was who was going to sign up for the signing ceremony. they managed to get together this group of artist that -- artists that included kid rock, -- and theynd based though

west acted as a child today.ranted and raved, banging his hand, and i'm actually proud of anyone who knows the morse code enough to know what he was saying. he grandstand at the entire time and a grandstand on nothingness. i'm not worried about any african-american approval ratings for trump. president trump will still receive a low amount of african-american supporters. >> you actually spent a lot of time with kanye today. i'm wondering what the reaction would be if a white person said that he or she couldn't understand what kanye west had said today in the oval office. if i said that, i couldn't even imagine the people that would come after me. he said some actually interesting things, he was all over the place but, he's not a political person. no more than miley cyrus bumping and grinding, doing the torque. hillary is the person for you, let me give you the five reasons why, while no one talked about miley. but this is a problem for liberals. why isn't miley cyrus and matt damon and ben aflac and all the peopl

of the eye wall, well to the west, dozens of miles west on panama city beach, they reported wind gustsf 129 miles an hour. we can expect wind gusts to reit 165, 170 miles an hour. along tyndall air force base in england, the towns of windhaven, parker, callaway, as far west as springfield, we have no reporters in the city of panama city proper, population 37,000. the storm itself is coming right over it. just west of that city is where rick leventhal is, you should be getting pounded right now. >> yeah, we are. there's a lot of stuff lying around so i'm trying to protect myself. this is a piece of i believe the siding. if you look past me in the parking lot you can see a bunch of chunks of this stuff, it's pretty heavy and it would hurt if it hit you, trust me. you can see the wind swirling out here, it's definitely gusting pretty strongly. palm trees seemed to be holding up pretty well, we were showing you the pine trees across the street. the visibility has increased pretty dramatically, watching these big suvs in the parking lot, seeing it bounced around by these gusts of wind, pret

we all know the poor state of relations between the west and russia we both know that. how do we get out of this cold isaak or we just have to accept the status quo for a very long time and. i'm afraid it's the latter. i don't see any political figure on the horizon in the west who could take the lead and show that kind of innovative thinking that would lead to an era of mutual benefit and potential reconciliation between east and west because i do think in the long run it will happen. because there's a lot of general frustration among many knowledgeable politicians and academics and observers but there's no one willing to step up to the plate as it were and assume that responsibility basically of saying you know the the emperor has no clothes we need a different we needed a nixon to go to china or something something like that yes and to see it through the hope had been that trump would be able to do this but he seems to be bamboozled by his own advisers and unable to extricate himself from the general morass that is washington today. when there's this old marxist slog

west, a chicago native, questioned mr. trump's support of the police practice known as stop and frisk. >> we feel that stop and frisk does not help the relationships in the city. >> i'm open-minded. i'm here. >> reporter: earlier this year, west's wife and reality tv star kim kardashian successfully lobbied the president to commute the sentence of a woman convicted of a federal drug offense. at today's meeting, the president by turns appeared perplexed, pleased, and amused. >> how does it feel to be in the oval office? >> oh, it is good energy in this. >> reporter: west has left an impression on previous presidents, saying this about george w. bush after hurricane katrina in 2005: >> george bush doesn't care about black people. >> reporter: and after west grabbed a microphone from taylor swift at an award ceremony, president obama was caught on an open mic saying this: >> the young lady seems like a perfectly nice person. she's getting her award... >> why would he do that? >> he's a jackass. >> reporter: west said the pres

a woman who came west with the army of the west. and he was a young woman and pregnant from kentucky. she just happened to be a brilliant writer who took all of this down. i quote her widely in the book. i highly recommend this book. as an early document of the american perception of the american west. one of my favorite books of all western literature is, beyond the hundred the meridian. you have to read it. it is an amazing book. it does not figure into my book. maybe some of mccarthy's novels. he lives in santa fe. he is a powerful writer, if you want to read a novel, i think he has one of the great ones. >> when you think about when you were writing this book, whether any mentors or heroes or influences you looked to when you thought i would love to write this sweeping history of the west? was there anyone you thought about? if they could turn out their writing i would feel good about it? >> i grew up in memphis. the first writer i ever met was a memphis historian. the really interesting character. named shelby foote. civil war

east german news was on at seven thirty pm but west germany broadcast the news only are. what you weren't supposed to watch or watched west german t.v. but it was disapproved of. as well if someone talked in the playground of you but as opposite of your skin color now i think what happened to children who talked in the playground but it could well be that their parents were later approached or a teacher or a party member started asking questions. but it was a bit confusing for me as a child when total strangers suddenly turned up and started asking odd questions but i say that everyone was aware that a dangerous situation might arise. if he and his little it's all suppressed in the i wasn't growing up to be on guard all the time watching what you said who you talked to the months before this it wasn't too daunting because my parents were very open with me about scenarios like that and actually i had the privilege of not being party members but despite that working in well respected positions. they were quite open. they had a strong courageous attitude which they passed on

the odious kanye west pile yon. the outrageous attacks continue as the left pulls its hair out over this meeting that kanye had yesterday with president trump. msnbc guest michael eric dyson, you have seen him a lot on cable news, he pretty much called kanye just too stupid to talk to the president on any issues regarding race and trying to give the president cover on what he really is, i guess, just a white nationalist. watch. >> we as african-american people cannot stand idly by while you give cover to a man who has proved to be a white supremacist, who has no interest in the african-american people. this is such a blitzkrieg of blathering ignorance. kanye, please cease the interventions through media about trying to engage issues of which you don't have sophisticated knowledge. >> sophisticated knowledge like beyonce and jay-z. donna brazile is accusing kanye of setting african-americans back 155 years. joining me pastor darryl scott, ceo of the national diversity coal little, leo perel and jeffrey lord and garla

with the west. can we go back to jeffrey one of the things where russia in the united states popped up over the last few days was president trump's address to the general assembly of the united nations he talked about all lot of things we could make an entire week of programs on everything that he mentioned but what caught your eye when it came to russia what the. speech prompted me is that we should actually stop . trump speeches we should stop watching we shut because watching trump speak gets in the way up understand what he's trying to say so i think we should actually concentrate on the on his tax revenue on these performance so if you read the text of these speak to the u.n. what what struck me about it was that how ideologically driven trump is as a political leader and the thing is if you look if you actually deconstruct the ideological perspective he's putting forward in that space you know he talks about sovereignty a nation states patrick is critical realism his kind of the vision of glob

lazy depictions of stereotypical west virginians.n. >> elaine: if you google appalachia to this day, you're going to see dirty-faced kids, bare foot on a front porch, shaking lyndon b. johnson's hand. there's a lot more to appalachia than that. >> anthony: in 1964, lyndon johnson declared his war on poverty. a good thing, yes? but the accompanying press tour portraying the people here as an incapable and bewildered helpless masse, missed the basic essential character -- the pride and the self-reliant core of the people here. that damage is lasting. >> elaine: when you come in and keep telling us how poor, fat -- how all these things are -- i think we've all felt it at some point. shame. >> anthony: what should people know about this area that they don't know, that they're not getting? >> nick: well, i think it's been said, but it's just not been hit home. it's just how much that people in this area have been exploited. [ bells ringing ] [ machines whirring ] >> nick: the land agents who came in and bought up all the mineral rights. t

west doesn't care.t makes him dangerous to a system that's based almost entirely on piety and lying.ro if you're benefiting from the system like that, kanye west must be crushed. the math of it, the democratic presidential candidates need to get almost the entire black vote to win a national election. that's not easy to do. in order to do it, democrats pit americans against each other based on ethnicity. you can't support them, they're the wrong color. you hear that all the time, thee essential democratic argument. it's destructive but for democrats it may not be working. trump's approval rating with hispanic voters is 41%, larger than college educated white voters. if anything like that happened among african-american voters the game would be over. so that can't happen. kanye west must be destroyed. so the thought police swooped in almost immediately to arrest this disobedient artist and declare him incompetent. >> wow. okay, i'm doing this for everybody who's watching, who turned their volume down. yo

i like kanye west. don't dislike him.cr you remember the taylor swift issue.pe you never know what he is going to say. i am always on the edge waiting to hear what he says. he is the in the alternate universe. he is not the right spokesman. now conservatives are holding up this guy as thou he is speaking for all the wonderful trump is doing for black people in america. h >> laura: i don't think any one speaks for any one big group. when jesse jackson comes out and he says he represents all black people.'t i always have people say jesse jackson is an interesting guy but he doesn't speak for me. >> garland doesn't speak for me either. garland doesn't speak for me. >> laura: i get it. everybody is speaking for himself or herself. i understand that.odg all of us are trying to get too the point where individuals of any color can speak their mindf and have their ideas judged for what they are, for what they are. >> the question is, is kanye a credible spokesperson for the issues of black america? i think most

behind it, starting to see brighter skies edging into south west and north—west england and the welsh this rain is going to keep falling across central and eastern parts of england but the winds are later. cooler behind the rain. it should be mainly dry with a good deal of sunshine across northern ireland. scotland hanging onto a little bit more cloud. this evening and overnight the rain slides away for a time and overnight the rain slides away fora time and and overnight the rain slides away for a time and then it starts to work westward slater in the night. temperatures not much lower than eight or nine celsius. further north, close to freezing. showers affecting the northern highlands. still this band of rain across central and eastern parts of england. am sunshine and another fine day for northern ireland, north—west england and much of scotland. into tuesday we lose that frontal systems so things move around. outbreaks of rain into northern ireland, northern and western scotland, north—west england. nowhere near the amount of rainfall we have seen the last 48 hours. ahead of this

into the west, though, some wet weather for the start of the day for the south—west of england, for southrs around initially, and then more persistent rain, really, as the afternoon wears on. central and eastern areas may escape, then, with a fine day. east anglia and the south—east of england, for example, and there will be some sunshine behind the rain for wales and the south—west of england. still getting up to 22, 23 in the south—east, cooler to the west of this front. some showery outbreaks of rain for central and eastern england out of the tail end of that front thursday evening. some heavier rain pushing north across scotland, and then look out towards the south—west, because this really is the low to watch. now, this is callum. it's a named storm, it's a very deep area of low pressure, it's been named by met, and as it rolls across the uk on friday, we can expect gale—force winds, with severe gales in exposure. gusts in excess of 70 mph, likely to be damaging winds. some pretty heavy rain piling into the west through friday, as well. again, eastern areas definitely spared the wet

what's behind the left of total rage kanye west?ng in moments my ankle will reveal what they are really frightened of and the leftist mentality is moving from congress and public restaurants to college campuses and even parking lots. i had to, we will talk to victims of the mob mentality, including the friend of susan rice's republican son who was assaulted just days ago. s w her son, not the friend, at a pro kavanaugh rally. plus, did a pair of senate candidates just have their own basket of deplorable's moments? shun spicer and ari fleischer are here to break it all down. he could spell trouble for democrats in two key senate races. but first, the liberals freaktw out as trump reaches out. that's a focus of tonight's angle. it was an amazing moment in the oval office today when pop culture icon and rapper extraordinaire kanye west met with president trump before the camera.od he unleashed a ten minute monologue where he tried to explain his love of all things maga. >> they try to scare me to not wear this hat, my own friends. but

you reversibility the west bank that's good. another good example is of course the bypass system which is just under house was sold by persist and was created after also there were every year is between ninety nine free and to which israeli population growth in the west bank reached the face the fastest pace of growth ever it was vizier's. the entire almost the entire bypasses that the west spec the parallel road system the power and water system. was built in the us they actually hardly have to see any absolute day in their commuting on a daily commuting between the settlement and jerusalem. one cannot underestimate how important the bypass system was for the development of this all suburbian reality which was created in the west bank and thereby persistent effective modern fission transportation infrastructure is a precondition for the development of this kind of communities best advantage of the decor to cafe look to us to fund his or to the going to just a moment a little involved. jews should his do right to enter israel an

there is no harry belafonte in kanye west.there is no individual who you look at who upholds their platform and uses it in a quest for justice in kanye west. kanye west is a disturbed individual, and we need to focus on his mental health issues and hope he unravels that. but other than that, kanye west is just somebody who is being taken advantage of. he reminds me of man tana sleep and eat from spike lee's bamboozle. that is what this is. >> wow, bakari. but it's true. the truth hurts. >> show me the lie, don. >> you know what that same movie says. don't fall for the hokie doek, right? >> correct. >> we're going to talk about taylor swift. just won a big award. remember, i'm going to let you finish, taylor? >> mm-hmm. higher! parents aren't perfect, but then they make us kraft mac & cheese and everything's good again. discover.o. i like your card, but i'm absolutely not paying an annual fee. discover has no annual fees. really? yeah. we just don't believe in them. oh nice. you would not believe how long i've been rehearsing t

and the west wing drama that played out today when kanye west met with the president in the oval officei want to play a clip. don lemon is with us, and get your thoughts. here's some of the stuff kanye west and the president said. listen to this. >> if he don't look good, we don't look good. this is our president. he has to be the freshest, the flyest, the flyest planes, the best factories, and we have to make our core be empowered. we have to bring jobs into america. i don't answer questions in simple sound bites. you are tasting a fine wine. it has multiple notes to it. >>> the liberal will try to control a black person through the concept of racism because they know we are very proud emotional people. so when i said i like trump to, like, someone that's liberal, they'll say, oh, but he's racist. you think racism can control me? oh, that don't stop me. that's an invisible wall. would you build a trap door that if he mess up and you accidentally -- something happens and you fall and you end up next to the unia-bomber -- let me get this guy. >> i love this guy right here. hey, man. >> h

, where will see the most of any south—west, where will see the most ofany rain. south—west, where willost of any rain. some patchy mist and fog in the south—east and when the sun comes out, 18. a bit cooler in scotland, northern ireland and northern england but it should be a lovely day here. this is where we have the coomera. high pressure is building from the atlantic, the south—west, the and that clear skies for most of us —— cooler air. not farfrom for most of us —— cooler air. not far from freezing in for most of us —— cooler air. not farfrom freezing in rural areas. not as cold in southern england and east anglia where we've got more cloud. a legacy of the old front and it is just cloud on thursday. might spoil the day a bit. away from here, we can expect a good deal of sunshine after that chilly start. temperatures not quite as high on thursday, though. high pressure building in on thursday and lingering in to england and wales on friday. but into that high pressure, we're toppling in these weather fronts. most of the rain is going to be in the north—west of scotland and as that

conciliation between east and west because i do think in the long run it will happen. because there's a lot of general frustration among many knowledgeable politicians and academics and observers but there's no one willing to step up to the plate as it were and assume that responsibility basically of saying you know the the emperor has no clothes we need a different one we needed a nixon to go to china or something something like that yes and to see it through the hope it been that trump would be able to do this but he seems to be bamboozled by his own advisers and unable to extricate himself from the general morass that is washington today. when there's this old marxist slogan which i still wrote a lot which is pessimism of the intellect optimism of the will so you are right to be pessimistic about the common conjuncture it russia's relations with the west it's very difficult to see in the media a way forward whatever and i think we need to you know optimistic in terms of future prospects for this but in a very bad period russia america thought that russian relations
