walt whitman? donald: it's -- it's stunning.hat'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. donald: 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: yacovone was deep into research on another book, when just for "fun," he went to the library to check out some old textbooks. but then you went down a rabbit hole. donald: 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 looked at. donald: oh, an infinitesimal fraction of all the ones i looked at. joie: and the recurring themes he says were taught to generations of american schoolkids? the ach

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

it's great to be with my great friend rob whitman. we have been together since 2007.bviously, we really just collaborated both in terms of the city and also caucuses. their other caucuses that were also involved in. just yesterday we did work in terms of sending a signal from the hill, strong support for that, i think were the most important sick -- security agreements in decades. we are obviously not going to filibuster appear. we want to get right into the questions. we can't do that in the house. [laughter] the ink is barely dry interns of the nda that was signed a few weeks ago and followed on by the omnibus. i was talking to my staff, getting ready for today and i was thinking, the shipbuilding account, the $32 billion which admiral blake just mentioned, that's double what it was when rob and i first came here. they came back to me a few minutes later and corrected me and said actually we doubled the number from 2015-2022. i think that's from a little bit of a long view and important to recognize that we really have -- we are in a different place, far different p

so this is literally walt whitman and many of you know the story. he frequently visited patients in dc hospitals during the civil. and so this was him at a soldier's bedside. and the soldier dictated this letter to walt whitman that he then wrote and then sent off to to nelson jambo. so adeline is the is the widow. that's is his wife. so she's the one that put in for the for the pension. sometimes that i'm going to say these are very so don't get too excited about the next sometimes you will find photographs so this is samuel patterson who was in a veteran's home after the civil war. so this is not what he looked like during the civil war. this is well after the civil war. but they wore uniforms at the veterans. so that's that's the uniform that he's in that he as part of his as part of his pension. and then this is one of the nicer examples of something we have in a in a pension file. and it's not unusual. i mean, it is rare, but there are times when, you know, researchers, the research room will come across photographs like these. so since we're g

i worked for governor whitman when she was governor of new jersey. one of the earth days, i'm not sure how we arranged this, but she came to the elementary school my son wasn't in kindergarten, what a marvelous coincidence of scheduling, but she came and planted in new jersey's state tree, the red oak, in front of his school, and it's still there, just a little, maybe six feet at the time, now it's a spreading, beautiful oak. tree planting is great for presidents, and governors, and others to not only show their concern for the environment, but something they say planting a tree shows faith in the future, and also a way to commemorate a pretty cool event. >> absolutely. how wonderful. so, drumming back to the nixon's and the beach, and perhaps some interesting sartorial choices, but the beach nonetheless. >> folks will notice that they're looking very closely, this photo was taken at the same time as the photo of them sitting on the bench, kind of in the gray overcast day. now, i want to point out that getting from his house down to the beach, it's l

he worked for governor christine todd whitman both when she was governor of new jersey and when she became epa administrator during we first administration of president george w bush. he also served as director of strategic communications for the new jersey department of environmental protection and has some fantastic stories about the work that really did wonders to preserve and promote wildlife environmental protection in the state of new jersey the garden state fitting for earth day and topics of environmental concern. he worked for representatives dean gallo and rodney freelinghausen and senator jeff chiazza during his distinguished career. so he has congressional background as well. so with executive background with environmental background with congressional background, we really feel that you couldn't find a better speaker to talk about the environmental decade how president nixon worked with congress to advance legislation including creating the environmental protection agency in order to you know, meet the conservation goals and the environmental protection goals of a renewed inte

and i think, as human beings, we all contain multitudes, like walt whitman used to say. the problem is, we are living in a world that does not allow us to be multiple, let alone celebrate our own multiplicity. so, for me, rather than identity, singular, what i care about more is multiple belongings. if i have a singular identity, if you have a singular identity, it is much harder for us to understand what we have in common. but the moment we understand and embrace these concentric circles of belongings, then we realize actually so much of it overlaps. emma: you said of your own country, your motherland, in 2014, "i get a lot of criticism from the cultural elite and a lot of love from readers." the more you are read in the western world, the more you are hated in your motherland. do you think that is still the case? has it got worse or got better in the intervening years? elif: i wish i could say that we , you know, we made a lot of progress in turkey in terms of freedom of speech, but i am afraid it is quite the opposite. in 2006, i was put on trial for writing a novel c
