walt whitman? >> it's, it's stunning.e: that's donald yacovone, historian and author of a new book, "teaching white supremacy," who recognizes that what he's got to say sounds like heresy. >> it wasn't intended that way. i didn't even know i was doing that until it happened, but it is an assault on the way we understand our culture and ourselves. joie: to understand how this mild-mannered scholar became something of an academic flamethrower, it helps to have a little of the back story. yacovone was deep into research on another book, when just for "fun," he went to the library to check out some old textbooks. that's an academic's idea of taking a break. but then you went down a rabbit hole. >> it was like alice in wonderland. i fell in and it was in a completely different world, as i saw this collection of 3000 textbooks, and i was stunned. i just wasn't expecting that. joie: yes, he said 3000 textbooks, dating back to the early 1800's and going all the way up to current texts. this is just a fraction of the books you loo

patent office, surrounded by models of patented machines, the poet wang whitman confronted this strange and really horrific spectacle of a museum transformed into a civil war hospital. and he captures in his writing, the eerie scene of these cases of objects interspersed with wounded soldiers. and the writer and naturalist, henry david thoreau mourned's decision to kill each hurdle in order to donate it to harvard's natural history museum, even as he recognized its potential value to scientific research. so the founders of museums often envisioned order. they picture these collections arranged in cases and cabinets. but the reality was a much more disorderly process that spurred really dynamic conversations about within a day beyond institutions about what we choose to preserve, and value, about who's knowledge and expertise is celebrated or erased, and about who has access to the knowledge and education represented by cultural institutions. these questions continue to resonate in discussions about these institutions today, and my hope is that understanding the longer history of these i

so i mentioned earlier this this really amazing sketch by walt whitman when he's serving as a civil war nurse and he visits the patent office gallery when it's transformed into a temporary hospital and he describes it as the strange and fascinating site where you can see these cases of models and you can see wounded soldiers and i think when i started with this with this moment, i i was kind of imagining that i would then read forward in time until kind of start here and look at some of the the large scale museums that were founded and you know following the civil war, you know, these the the corporate tycoon have funded institutions like, you know many art museums and natural history museums that exist today, but one thing that i found actually was that i ended up just continuing to read backwards so, you know at the patent office gallery and starting to kind of dig dig deeper into its earlier history and you know this this transformation of this institution from you know, the 1830s onward and then kind of from there i ended up kind of working working backwards in a way because i reali

but do you think that whitman said whitman is actually going to give you a chance? are they going to give you another referendum? do you think that i think ultimately we the youth, the u. k. operates in a, in a, in a death, in a democratic context. and a democratic world that and the situation that arises to day as of the decision from the supreme court this morning, is that old is that, unlike most other countries in the world, at the moment, the votes of scots do not matter in the westminster parliament. that at westminster little $530.00 english empties under a $63.00 scottish empties. as a result, the wishes of the scottish by parliamentarians and the wishes of the people that they represent will never county the county that carried the day in westminster. and as a result, the democratic deficit is not very, very clear on that cannot continue where she scenic as to the people of scotland. just want the government to get on with the major issues that are facing the u. k. and others have said, you just need to get over your obsession with independence. what's your

so there's a lot, you know, i am multitudes, as walt whitman might say. my speaking to fast? >> host: you are doing just fine, just fine. >> guest: that's what i need. any people to tell me i'm doing just fine. >> host: has anyone ever told you that joke isn't funny anymore? >> guest: or jeanette lee, no, but what i do know that when the book comes out it's going to be a very snarky retort like oh, this guy, like perfect title because you're not funny anymore. but the title is an ode to a band called the smiths if you're familiar with them. they have joe, they have a song called that joke isn't funny anymore. it's too close to home, it's too near the phone, too close to home and too near the bone. so i sort of felt like that was kind of emblematic of the times we're living in. i wanted use that as my title. >> host: have you ever been called out by an audience member who didn't like a joke you told that perhaps was a little edgy? >> guest: it's funny that i was called out for something that wasn't even edgy. i remember it was like, it was a show and there was a couple, that w

please welcome to the stage governor christine whitman.applause] >> thank you so much for being here today. we were just talking saying how this is the super bowl for a lot of people in this room, including yourself. i am honored to be here with you as a jersey girl myself. governor, you have been a republican political figure for decades and you recently announced you are launching a new independent party call forward -- called forward alongside former presidential candidate andrew yang. what made you interested after being a republican for so long? >> i was watching what was happening with our party. i don't think it is a republican party anymore. it is a cold. -- it is a cult. there are no central principles on what it is based. what donald trump says people believe at any particular moment and that is what they do. when i wrote my book in 2005, it is my party to, i was worried about this very thing happening. watching what was going on it was clear we needed to do something different. i started with the renew american moment and we beg

the expert environment most noticeably and very interestingly, i would note the auditors alexander whitman'sis a former high-ranking official of the us security council , the us security council, and he also said that ukrainians continue to suffer no matter what as a result of this investigation, but he also i noticed that how poland reacted and how nato reacted. how quickly all these consultations took place. what kind of rhetoric was heard. this should also show russia that the intentions are serious and such events. so, they are accidental or deliberate testing. countries of nato can happen, well, he misses it, it can happen in the future, and that is, such messages that came from nato countries. well, he hopes that russia saw him and made their own conclusions, and one more thing, you know, several presidents of the united states at least in xx in the 21st century, there were some historical meetings like khrushchev with kennedy, like reagan with gorbachev in the 85th, like trump with kim chin-in. is it possible to call it a historical meeting between biden and sisyphus, which is conside

whitman. whit whit i did -- mr. wittman: i would like to thank our colleagues for joining us in this remembrance. donald was an incredible leader, he was a dedicated father and husband and loved serving others and he was passionate about his job and passionate about the people of the 4th district. we were at rifle high schools in richmond what an individual, a person of integrity and passion, dedicated to the people he served. he loved being a legislator. he loved solving problems for people. he loved interacting with people. he just loved the whole idea of giving of himself and putting others first. that truly what donald was about and we have dealt with him throughout the years and he had the utmost integrity. and while there were political differences among the different members of our virginia delegation, for donald it was always about getting things done. and he would be forthright with you and he was looking to solutions. donned was the public servant and the leader, the example for all of us in the virginia d

but there are those cases, like, for instance, glitch in whitman in michigan holding on to power who was seen to be in a serious threat of losing her spot there for the democrats. and there's quite a few very tight races that have already been called for the democrats, where they was seen to be an acute danger, particularly in the north east m in pennsylvania, for instance, individual races there. so there is a chance for the democrats, or despite the odds, predicted by the pulses that they could at least probably hold on to a part of congress. but at the same time, the trend is quite clear that the democrats are using losing ground. not that unusual for the party of a sitting president and taking a step back. can you explain for us what they top issues are that have been shaping these races? the glass, the interesting thing. it really depended on who you ask the over arching concern amongst americans is inflation, is the economy. of course one says traditionally, but particularly a with soaring inflation. but then it really is split according to almost different realities between re

you don't have to be john perkins, his book, economic whitman, conventions of ego, again, when a showed how that institution with the i m. f has done so much to torture and misery. hundreds of millions of people across the developing world, the so long to to know a bit about or i'm, he's very difficult from that interview to take the managing director of the world bank. seriously. especially when, of course, breaks on as seo or you know, that coming fast on the tracks of both those institutions. i remember being here in, in do my 22 years ago being told in foreign affairs magazine, the china will never be a powerful country at all. i don't think john is worrying too much about any of this, and you know, none of the bricks a country leadership saw they seem very excited. indeed, i'm coming to you from, from do you by. i was at a conference here and organized by ross congress, moderating in the u. a health ministry was saying, we've got to have close collaboration, business cooperation in elca, for instance, with russia. and that's not the kind of thing you're going to hear in the europea

so there's a lot, you know, i am multitudes as walt whitman. i'd say, am i speaking too fast? so like i was, you're doing just fine doing just fine. and that's the thing i need. i need people to tell me that i'm doing just fine. well, has anyone ever told you that joke isn't funny anymore? fortunately, no. but what i do know that when the book comes out. it's going to be a very snarky retort like, oh, this guy. yeah. like, perfect title. because not funny anymore, but the the title is a is an ode to a band called the smiths if you you're familiar with them. but they have a joke. they have a joke. they a song called that joke isn't anymore it's too close to home and it's too near the bone too close home to near the bone. so i sort of felt like that was kind of a, you know, emblematic of the times that we're living in. so i wanted to use that as my title. have you ever been called out by an audience member who didn't like joke? you told that perhaps was a little edgy? what? it's funny that i was called out for something that wasn't even edgy. so i remember was like it was a and

his artes english, donna whitman, m, as in the fee for world cup, has a reputation for bringing a sporting spectacle to the fans every 4 years. the one that's kicked off and cut eyes no exception. on the contrary, this year's event has already become a source of grammar, both on and off the pitch. on day 3, already saudi arabia's team sitting in the modest 51st place in the global rankings, made headlines of to beating the world's top 3 argentina. and the devastation of the messy devotees could only be matched to by their rivals triumph. who it seems, we're excited to remove every barry and every door that could stand between their team and the trophy. oh, even the saudi king took notice of the shock when declaring the next day a national holiday. the tournament also quickly took a political turn to even before the ball was kicked for the 1st time. in fact, in the run up cutter had repeatedly warned that the stands are no place for activism. mainly addressing the advocates for l g. b t writes that alone caused a storm in the western media, while some european politicians profusely ignored.

please welcome to the stage governor christina whitman. what made you decide to join the forward company? >> the republican party has become a cult. they have no set of sensible principles on which it is based. whatever trump says people should believe, that is not my definition of a party and when i wrote my book in 2005, i was worried about this very thing happening. and watching what was going on, it was clear we needed to do something different so i started the renew america movement and we began as republicans who were trying to bring the republican party back to the center on the basis that this country does have a center and centerleft party but people were going more to extremes. we realized early on that it was not just republicans that we needed, we needed central democrats. we were already starting to look at and endorse candidates on both sides who are willing to work together and respected the rule of law and believed in the constitution. andrew yang was working with his forward party, doing the same kind of thing. and david j

yes, whitman, michael, it doesn't work. i would go all the way back then, and they're still trying to same a process. you know, the only difference is, you know, and i think it's, it's important to point out for viewers is in the, these adventures in afghanistan in iraq, in syria, in libya, e m. and for the average of western consumers, last citizen, these are just kind of pigments of the remote. it's something you hear on the news . ok. it but, but now this place called ukraine, which nobody cared about in europe and in the united states, all sudden their, their entire lifestyle, their entire prosperity is at stake. here for something that never is never been explained to anyone. why is it important to be supporting this regime that was installed on democratic lee in 2014? never get that. and of course, you know, the conflicts started on february 24th, but nobody talks about what happened in the 8 years before that. and maybe this is all by design because it's complicated or they would show that this is just another advent
