in westchester county, yeah. stuart: in westchester county? >> yes.hbors on both sides of me decided they have the put their mondaire jones and harris signs. it created sign wars in westchester county. stuart: we have to move on. in the swing states, we got this survey, 611% of parents -- 61% of parents think their children will not be able to afford a home. that is that become -- has that become a political issue? >> oh, i think, absolutely. the economy's a political issue, and i think the swing states get more attention. they're bombarded with ads about, you know, what happens if she's the president, what happens if he's the president. so i think it's raised the anxiety. i looked at that study. it was a thousand people across seven states, so that's not exactly a great sample. but it shows you the plurality of those people responding to the survey feel like the american dream is on the ballot which could tell you that people are going to vote in favor of the american dream and maybe a red wave, as adam johnson said during the commercial break -- stu

>> they should be an excellent future presentation by the way down the westchester county militia just to throw that out there. when they started up and basically 1777 under james polanski, plants he himself was captured in november of 1777 as the militia passed him and issac hatfield in february 1780 when it really took off. they raised several cavalry and the french arrived in 1781 with 480 men under james delancey. the lot of people like that they weren't under the british and they were freelancers and certainly the liberties with local inhabitants and no question about that but their commissions were signed by the governor and they were the westchester militia. there's no question about that. all of their officers were commissioned by the same rules of war. there were all kinds of cool things calling them the rangers and also do things that they were they westchester militia. >> you mentioned did deference that was expected at the tactical level to the french military to the americans. in yorktown how didsh rochambeau and washington how much was strategic conception was rochambeau

week before that, sarah jay, john jay's wife through a dinner party in new york at their home, westchester county. it was all men. among the men there was alexander hamilton and james madison. i would have liked to be a fly on the wall at the dinner party to hear what the three of them might have talked about. >> was this book the a bestseller? -- the federalist a bestseller? >> i do not know how many copies it sold. maybe the judge knows. >> it was printed in two volumes. it was published in march. the second volume was published at the end of may. the printer printed 500 copies and it was not a bestseller because we know that fall, the printer wrote a letter complaining he still had hundreds of copies unfold. initially it was not, but if you are lucky enough to have one of the original 500, you are in very good luck today. >> there was this term that became used in the federalist papers. federalist 51, james madison, checksalances. ambition must be made to counteract ambition. the interest of the man must be connected with the constitutional rights of the place. it may reflection on human natur

in westchester county. he was born right near the church of st. mary the virgin in times square. ever in times square, go see it because it's the hidden gem of times square. he became rather dislute, we'll say, and et cetera, et cetera, at the hotel bellclaire in 1926, a mystery woman bursts into the room where he is and throws some form of acid into his face. remarkably, they get him to a hospital and not only isn't he not blinded, he's not even scarred, but he's -- he is sort of the type of lawyer that is portrayed like in the musical "chicago" he is -- when william randolph hearst is bringing charges, when they're bringing jury charges against fallin at one point, he puts hearst on trial. he says they're picking on me. the hearst papers are picking on me and you know why? because i have the secret birth certificates of the twins fathered by william randolph hearst and marion davies. this was no birth certificate. there were no twins. there were no children. he was acquitted. so those are the sort of people we're dealing with and last but not least in the until 1930's there's a

in westchester county. he was born right near the church of st mary. the virgin in times square, which, if you've ever in times square, go see it, because it's the hidden gem of times square. it's beautiful. but he was he was he became rather this dissolute, shall we say, quite flamboyant, great lawyer, great jury fixer, etc., etc. up at the hotel bel clair in april 19, 26, a mr. free woman burst into the room where he is and throws some form of acid into his face. remarkably, um, they get him to a hospital and not only isn't he not blinded, he's not even scarred, but he's he's he is sort of the type of lawyer that is portrayed like in the musical chicago. he is he is. he is. when arnold when the william randolph hearst is bringing charges or when they when they're bringing jury charges against fallon. at one point, he puts hearst on trial. he says they're picking on me. the hearst papers are picking on me. and you know why? because i have the secret birth certificates of the twins that was fathered by william randolph hearst and marion davies. there w

one of the benefits of growing up in calumet city, as opposed to growing up in scarsdale or westchester county or skokie, illinois for a --, is that we're not under the misleading impression that we're some kind of large number of people where if a third of the group or or a half of the group i think american -- sort of unrealistic. and i felt way at the time. so it's sort of an unrealistic vision of our of our place and our in this vast country of, ours growing up far out of, you know, the school class of four out of 400, it's different lesson. and the lesson started for me, when i was in second grade on the playground, my grade school and one of the my fellow classmates called me dirty --. and then i hauled off and hit him and we got a fistfight and we were both punished for this fist fight. and it wasn't until years later that it finally dawned on me it's quite possible that he didn't. i was jewish and he was barnet. i don't look that jewish. and it was just he was just insulting me with something he'd heard at home. but i vowed at that time that i would anybody i'd physically fight anybody

and this is what they're being read in school in first grade in a public school in westchester countyt scares me. i don't want the answer to be go to the teacher to have that conversation, i love teachers. i love my daughter's teacher. but i don't want her to be the one to have that kind of a conversation with my if daughter in the first grade. maria: you've got to be the last line of defense. the mother. >> yeah. >> absolutely. and that really, really does terrify me. and my husband and i have had conversations about this. if it ever gets to that point, would we keep them in public school, and that's, that's a terrifying thought because i believe in the public school system. i believe in public education. i believe in all of these, you know, access to opportunity for all. but i am very, very afraid that i'm not going to have the -- our family isn't going to have the ultimate decision making when it comes to how she's raised. maria: amazing that we're having this discussion the -- >> i know. maria: thank you for your honesty and candor on that, lee carter. stay with us, we'll be right

and of course suffolk county was the most popular because geographically speaking it was the largest. manhattan is george washington found out a lot of loyalists there. westchester again uses the word unique. there regiment was referred to as the county militia and refugees. now,tc westchester new york city was very different. under governor. wh all therovincial regiments being made that took precence. and the war going to over by christmas of course. so the did not bother putting that much effort into the militia. with the british forces stretched as the war went on, there were opportunities for the people who did not want to be provincials to serve in manhattan. when the british army under how went to philadelphia in 1777 at left the british garrison very a weak. approximate 7500 men. that's really the minimum you need including long island and staten island. you can't do that much and respect.a at least to cover some the other tasks. they raise volunteer companies, seven of them. the massachusetts volunteers, all under the militia law. these seven volunteer companies most of militia were not uniform for they servedd simply what thy were from home. the arm the

>> no, right here in westchester county, we have not seen panic buying just yet.rning. we appreciate. that's alexis mcadams is in brooklyn. what's the latest on the strike there? >> reporter: hey, stuart. over my shoulder in front of this port in red hook, brooklyn, they are all of those workers protesting saying they're not coming back to work or the bargaining table until they get what they want. i'm going to step out of the way. they stacked this terminal, they have these guys out here 24 hours a day. this is day three and counting, and they don't want any kind of automation. i asked them if it really is about the pay. they said it's not many -- not as much about the money as making sure they're not replaced by machines. 45,000 dock workers across the east can and gulf coasts. the irk la says they want a nearly 80% raise in wages over their next 6-year contract deal. saying these guys don't work 9-5 job, they work extraordinary hours and sacrifice time with their families. vice president cam lacer that is one -- kamala harris is supporting these dock workers on

there's a episcopal minister and in westchester county. this writing a pamphlet about how you've to be loyal to the british. and here's hamilton, 18 years old, writing another of 20,000 words or something. so, again, opinionated, arrogant new yorker. yes, they're both trading well and comfortable with diversity, comfortable with quoting the fearless, the first sense of wistful suffers as a new yorker approaches. yeah, he was well, he he ends up marrying ex-wife betsy, the daughter of other philip schuyler, who was a general in the revolutionary war and a big dutch origin landholder in albany, new york. they had a big sort of fort like house in albany, which was kind of the edge of settlement in that period with the iroquois all to the west. and so, you know, when he leaves the department and before he becomes a lawyer in new york, makes a lot of money, builds a house up in the harlem heights, you could visit it now expanding. well it's been moved several blocks i'll explain it to you. it's what is it? 441 west, 141st street. i think someth

being killedd serving as a captain of calvary and the westchester militia in that county so who werehese people? of the original members of the loyalist unit 310 of them. five of six were born in america. those loyalists were not born in america but that's a question people ask so much. why do so might loyalist go to england during the war? they have never been there. you can't go home to where you have never been from. anan examination of 163 postwar claims shows where they resided when they left to join the army. again, not surprisingly 141 the vast majority were from new york. fourteenth were from vermont, three from connecticut, two from new hampshire, two from massachusetts and one from new jersey. for the record that last one was not me. primarily to general simon fraser advanced guard mie losing 700 offics and men dead, killed in action, deserted, discharge, taking prisoners or just disappearing. one of the biggest issues concerned to authorize this court should be raised. you're setting the british army it's pretty easy the king is the only person authorized to raise a new br
