i cannot think of having an anthology piece about whitman. so the reason why i wanted the put the book together was actually two increase the number of women writers and writers of colors and working-class writers. writers whose work is just as good as women or others are some of those bigger names that we recognize were not for various reasons being remembered and read and taught in school. >> tara, you just heard kim respond to my question. i'm going to approach you and have you explain your words. i'll cut you. [laughter] when he wrote, shut up. [inaudible]. and this is something that you build in your father's money and a tattered stroll. you wrote that run joseph and kim and how are we supposed to respond to what you wrote. >> right, that particular image was directed at a particular person who had been for the past four years. but is indicative of the promise that the american promise that has been packaged to appeal to the 1 percent. this is a myth that the rest of us as opposed to strive for and aspire to as kim said as we know better

and with that i want to start with you, governor whitman. what does that mean, move forward, not move on? >> it means take what happened on january 6th seriously, to move forward with this bipartisan commission like 9/11, which is what has to happen. you have to have it so the public trusts the outcome. if it's bipartisan it will. i would have preferred if they would have picked two outside people, a republican and a democrat to be the co-chairs of it like they did for 9/11, be that as it may, this is fine. i can't believe kevin mccarthy is going to try to stop republicans from voting for it. it means let's not -- we can't move away and pretend it didn't happen. we need to understand what happened. that was an effort to overturn our democracy. they were there to stop the counting of the electoral ballots. we cannot have that in our democracy. we cannot continue to spread this lie about that election being a fraud because now people are not trusting our politics, our -- the way we govern ourselves. that becomes very, very dangerous. >> govern

i was going i say that walt whitman in his poem, his wonderful eulogy written after the death of lincolnen lilacs last in the door areas broomed, he described lincoln as the great western star, illuminating the landscape americans landscape, and in a sense that is what lincoln always was to me. this kind of beautiful, wonderful, star but also a little bit removed, and someone inaccessible. didn't see him attached to his contemporary culture and i thought but the culture, the greatest literary period in american literary history, and emmer union, thorough, melville, emily dickenson, walt whitman and then frederick douglass, harriet beecher stowe, john brown, william lloyds garrison and just so much going on, such a wonderful period, and wall -- walt whitman in 1856 fantasized but a president coming from across the alleghenies from the west, at that time illinois was considered the west. and he didn't know but lincoln at all but said some boatman or raftsman in working man, bearded, shrewd, working person, honest, would -- and whitman said i wish he would step across the allegheny and writ

governor whitman's trying to help make it change. but it's going to take an enormous amount of work, and i think liz cheney did a huge part of that this week. to see someone put a personal ambition at stake for a principle is vanishingly rare in american politics. there are not gazillions of examples of this. when you talk about the insurrection, they didn't -- that didn't even happen during the civil war. i just want to say that pretty clearly. the confederate army never breached the u.s. capitol from ft. sumpter to april mat ox. but it seems to me as christians, the formal sense of time is do we accept the rules of the road, whether we win or whether we lose, or are we entirely about the acquisition and maintenance of our own power? and that's the fundamental question. >> eugene, it's not just electeds and lying about january 6th but also lying about election results. we saw 124 retired general and admirals releasing a letter this week lying about the election results. again saying that joe biden stole it, which we know isn't the c

to to use walt whitman. i used walt whitman my introduction the idea that the real war will never get in the books whitman was talking specifically about this the war that union soldiers knew, that's what he's talking about there. it's used more broadly now, i think a lot of the real war not only is in the books now. it's been in the books for a long time and to come back to our earlier point. that's why it's important to read books written a long time ago. not just books that are written now. we're going to always know more about what happened during the civil war, but we know a very great deal about what happened already and we knew it even when i was young reading about it peter when you we have three generations of people here who've come to the war and are very interested in it and for each one of us when we were young reading about it. there was a great deal that we already knew we know more now and we'll know more going forward and that's why it is it's a field it doesn't get stale. it it just doesn't

but kristi todd whitman was there as a former republican governor. arizona's democratic secretary of state, katie hobbs, who attended that meeting, later told "the washington post" that she left not sure what any further actions the justice department might take in her state as this banana republic recount continues there. but secretary of state katie hobbs of arizona does have some personal reasons to worry. we learned today that as of today she's now getting 24-hour, round the clock state trooper protection because of all the death threats that she has been getting while the arizona republican recount has been under way. you know, it's an open question as to what the biden justice department plans to do, what they feel they can do, not just about this ongoing sham audit in arizona, which appears to be in pretty direct violation of important federal law about what you're supposed to do with ballots from a federal election, but also what they may do or may not do in all of these states where republicans have either passed or are pursuing radical anti

people from, as i said, whitman, emerson, thoreau, frederick douglass -- interracial friendship was a test case for how well democracy was doing. i published a version of that in time magazine in 2005 when lincoln was featured on the cover is a founding father. as i continued to write that chapter, and after publishing in time magazine, i realized that chapter threatened to overwhelm the rest of my book on interracial friendship because of the significance of abraham lincoln and frederick douglass. i decided just to write a separate book just on those two men. by pairing them together, i felt i could accomplish a number of goals. i think a dual biography allows a writer or scholar to move the lens, so to speak, to change perspectives to see two famous men who had been written about in new and interesting ways. abraham lincoln is one of the most written about figures in american history, probably the most written about individual in american history. one of my objectives was what can i say that is new about abraham lincoln? i felt that by viewing him, seeing him framed or reflected aga
