williamsburg, virginia you're not sure. caller: no, i'm not. my biggest thing is, if you go down that road of investigations and everything else, shurek the right wing say they want it, but they probably don't really want it. other stuff will come out, and for the democrats, what will end up doing is slowing down our agenda. what we need to focus on is our agenda basically legalizing nationally marijuana and affordable housing. host: all right, got it. mike in buffalo, new york, texted to say, yes, a commission absolutely needs to be formed. we all saw what happened, but there's a deeper problem in america. the root cause was misinformation, conspiracy theories, and the former president saying the election was stolen. and to infect his followers with the big lie. detroit, you say yes as well? caller: absolutely. jerry from detroit, good morning. greetings yet again from motown. yes, there definitely needs to be a commission on the january 6 attack on the capitol. and i think that both the members of both chaimers will of commerce should be invo

yes, the same name applied to that root principal in the city of williamsburg that you know, so very well broad main street now that was named after the elder son of queen anne william duke of gloucester who lamentably passed away before he could ever be on off indeed my friend. well, this was the brother of george the third the king of england and we soon discovered that he was rather sympathetic to the american cause in fact many were of the opinion that he thought america should be free and independent. so we all listened in and what he had to say, we spoke of the fighting at lexington under concord of your grand congress and philadelphia and of course of the great man himself that of geneval washington, so it was by the conclusion of this meal that i told my brother officers that i was ready and willing to fight and if need be die for this cause now i know many have said well, but why mr. lemaki, why would you want to go and fight and perhaps die in another man's war? well, i felt that this was a war like none other in the history of man. was it not? well of great ideas of the fr

. >> dickerson: last year the pandemic kept us from traveling to williamsburg, virginia, for or annualonversation former secretary robert gates. this year we made it, though, and asked him about the prospects for peace between the israelis and palestinians. >> i think there is very little prospect of peace between them at this point. i don't think there has been in quite a long time. and i think, in fact, one of the things that produced the breakthrough with the abraham accords between the israelis and the gulf states and others has been sort of essentially setting aside the palestinian issue and moving on to a region that has changed in some pretty dramatic ways. which basically leaves the palestinians out in the cold. >> dickerson: is it consistent with u.s. interests and values to leave the palestinians out in the cold? >> i certainly don't think it is consistent with our values. but, you know, john, the truth is almost every president has made a real effort. and so these efforts have been stymied time and time again. i would say there have been israeli prime ministers who were actu

lines between republicans, democrats, and independents, and jeff, on the republican line, from williamsburg, virginia. good thursday morning. go ahead, jeff. >> good morning. thanks for the opportunity. i think that the journalist's last comment about donald trump is no longer in power explains everything you need to know. i think it's very apparent that the vast majority of the media is basically an extension of the democratic party's propaganda and because trump said x, the media and the so-called fact checkers are quick to say, not x is true. x has been thoroughly debunked by everyone with a brain and this is sad because in our country, the reason the founders put a first amendment in there was to put a check on corruption, and we've lost that because corporate media, do include c-span, because it was clearly biased toward the democrats before that presidential debate. what we're hearing now is slanted. so the fact is that there was intelligence then, and it was trashed because donald trump said it and that is unfortunate. thank you for the time. >> we'll go to ben in alexandria, virgini

there's the colonial capital in williamsburg. people like william henry lee and peyton randolph, john robinson, not all the names today, patrick henry. and he figured out how they lead and he figured out the best course for himself. the house of burgesses tended to feature the star people like patrick henry who would give great speeches andfire up the world and george washington was never going to do that . he wasn't that glib or fancy a speaker. he didn't have a terribly good voice. and even as i said he was shy about his modest education. and i think he figured outhow to be a quiet leader .i and there were a few ways, the extraordinary talentshe brought to that which he could take advantage of . one was this amazing energy. he wanted to get something done and this was true his entire life. he worked 12, 14 hours a day and he got things done. that was in part because he had a gift with people and he developed that. which is not how we think of him. wwe think of him as this marble figure was dignified and august and aloof and a s

i'm not making this up and during this period there were small epidemics of smallpox in williamsburg in yorktown. so citizens of norfolk were on edge about the epidemic coming to their town. well one resident a dr. archibald campbell he decided to engage the services of dr. josh. to inoculate campbell's family and neighbors and he probably learned about dahli ash through, you know contacts in the middle medical community also through an article that dr. del yash had published in the virginia gazette elongating details about the disease and also hyping his own services as an experienced inoculator. um so dr. campbell hired dalyash to inoculate himself as family and group of their neighbors. well other citizens were very upset about this because they were afraid that the inoculation process would lead to an outbreak of smallpox the anti-vaxers. i'm going to use a modern term the anti-vaxxers tried to get the local magistrates to stop these plans. the magistrates didn't want to step in so these anti-vaxxers they basically fired up a mob that marched to dr. campbell's home broke windows

as the colonial capitol in williamsburg. people like henry lee, peyton randolph, john robinson, they're not big names today patrick henry. and he figured out how they lead. and he figured out the best course for himself. the house of burgesses tended to feature the star of people like patrick henry. they would give great speeches and fire up the world. george washington was never going to do that. he was not that lib or fancy of a speaker. he did not have a terribly good voice. as i said he was shy about his modest education. i think he figured out how to be a quiet leader. there were a few ways, extraordinary talents he brought to that, which he can take advantage of. one was amazing energy. if you wanted to get something done, this was true his entire life. just ask washington to do it. he would work 12 or 14 hours a day and he got things done. that was part because he had a gift with people. he developed that. which is not how we think of him. we think of him as this marvel figure it was dignified, a gust and aloof. surpr

it could get here faster, but the gas insisted on stopping to see colonial williamsburg.we learned that by never, they meant sending nearly $5 million to eastern european hackers in untraceable cryptocurrency within hours after the attack. yes, the united states does not negotiate with terrorists. they pay them immediately. but that's not why the pipline's restarting, because after they got their cash, the hackers provided a decrypting tool to restore its disabled computer network. the tool was so slow that the company continued using its own backups to restore the system. maybe don't trust the people who shut down your pipeline to restart it. that's like getting your child back from kidnappers and then asking them to babysit. but a gas shortage is the last thing on the minds of people in houston because there's a tiger on the loose! here's the story. otday, i houston arrived home to spot a bengal tiger on his front this packages. naturally, people were freaking out. the cops were called, they tried to wrangle it, but then suddenly, a neighbor emerged who led the tiger in

had over 30 cities under consideration of one point or a another to harrisburg and lancaster to williamsburg. there were a number of cities under consideration one was a parochialism. everyone wanted their city or state and not another one. and so pennsylvania would conspire against new york and newark would conspire against pennsylvania. annapolis conspired against baltimore baltimore disk file against annapolis. the economy was in ruins. people know if you got the capitol you get the government moving in the military moving in congress moving in. that meant an economic windfall of a boarding houses and restaurants in economic activity. so everybody wanted the capitol. ben franklin at one point said maybe we did multiple capitals maybe we need revolving capitol for there is root joke about their trojan horse alluding to how unpopular congress was the joke was meg who should build a trojan course, but congress and a belly and sneak it into a city at night and let them do the business, load up and sneak out to the next city we could not get a capitol. so enter george washington. hampton vice

it sounds like some weird drug slang you'd hear at a rave in williamsburg "hey, man, do you shed fromth? "neither i just do everything but the bagel seasoning. but that's how it works. when you get coronavirus, and you're not vaccinated, the virus develops in your body, and you shed from your nose and mouth. and if you have an especially high viral load, you could shed a lot. and if you're indoors with no ventilation and no masks, and multiple people are potentially shedding the virus, that's how you get super-spreader events. especially if you're surrounded by a family of germ factory mouth breathers, like the olympic bob-shed team over here. their noses flare like the mainsails of a mighty schooner these dudes are such heavy mouth-breathers, when they suck in air, they sound like a dyson airblade this is why vaccination is the key to getting rid of masks. and it's also why it's a problem that so many republicans in congress and in polls said that they won't get vaccinated. now, to their credit, some republican politicians have put out videos urging people to take the vaccine, like l

also in ut bourgeoisie of american society whom french officers met in cities like philadelphia, williamsburg boston and newport. however, there were some american morries that french officers simply could not fathom. a number of officers marveled at the practice of bondalayage or bundling which allowed young couples engaged to be married or unengaged to spend hours and even entire nights alone together in a bedroom. there they were to remain completely clothed but could kiss and as clear as clermont kr put it i quote devote themselves to tender caresses accepting those that only marriage has the right to permit and quote. a show of incredible trust self-control and respect bundling clinical concluded i quote is really only for americans. policies and prejudices that fueled anti-fraternization would not be the lasting character of social relations between french and american officers. when the american war of independence drew to a close american major general henry knox suggested the formation of a society that would permit the officers of the revolution to remain in contact to care for the

but once you get out past the colonial cities places like williamsburg and charleston and savannah. the rates of church going and commitment to the church of england is pretty limited. and part of the reason for that is you remember going back to the founding of jamestown in 1607. these colonies are mostly being founded for business purposes. and it's a little difficult to set up churches in the backcountry where settlement is so scattered. and so people living in the rural south in the early 1700s. i mean, they might have been christians for sure. i'm sure most of them would have considered themselves to be christians if they were literate they probably read the bible. maybe they had family devotions, but many many of them did not go to church. because maybe the nearest church is 50 miles away. and if that's the case if you're going on a wagon you're not going to go to church. right, so the south and people in the north in the northern colonies recognize this this isn't just looking back as a historian people in new england would talk about their worry for the south and it's relati

from an earlier first ladies programs and that is taylor stoermer who is a historian for colonial williamsburg. and welcome to the conversation. >> thank you. >> let's talk about the election, because everybody thinks there's hard knuckle politics today, but look at the election of 1884. that the one that brought grover cleveland into the white house. pretty rough stuff going on that time. >> yes politics me 18 eighties was brutal. we think about earlier elections and they're just taking swings at each other like jefferson and adams. in the 1800 election. but politics in the 18 eighties, because we talked about is personal, it's a visceral and because of the way political parties have developed, and they are able to take the swipes at each other that really i think we would find surprising. so in 1884, all of these things are coming out in 1884 election. you have two candidates who could not be more different from each other. you have grover cleveland on the one hand, who probably has very little political experience of the sort. he was mayor of buffalo, elected mayor of buffalo in 1881. he wa

. >> reporter: in williamsburg, tennessee, the county pool will open by saturday but with limited hoursow us to operate our pools fully. >> good job. next four. >> reporter: at life guard training new york, they say they've already trained 1,000 people this year hannah newburt is getting certified this week. >> this year, i decided to become a life guard because i really need the money, especially after the tough year we've had. >> three years ago, $13, $14 an hour now, camps are paying $17.25, $18, $20 an hour for life guards. >> reporter: at rapid waters park in riviera beach, florida, 170 life guards on staff for the season in about a week, they hope to hire even more >> kerry, what are they doing to fill the jobs? glad to see the wages going up that's good news >> reporter: yeah, the wages are going up here, they're hoping that they're going to be able to hire up to 250 life guards. it's a little bit delayed because kids have been in high school a little later. one of the things to note is, and this is across the country, so many of these jobs are often filled by folks who come from
