china tog south progressed about as much as those between washington and pyongyang . the biggest difference is that. both beijing and washington at the working level the there has to be a very substantial and very solid discussions almost on every detail of those deals including a lot of a controversial issues so i think that at least at the. level both sides are working even much more substantial in to reach a very substantial progress so in that regard i think that you know if there are some are still there some leave some room for the uncertainty but i think that it is a reason for the optimistic that the both sides would reach deal and finally so does having a deal and greed that trump can support mean that they american tariffs center out of more terrorists and that trade war actually worked and the president has forced beijing into backing out of this stand up standoff well if i understand a question correctly i think that the from the u.s. perspective they think that. the the biggest the incentive for both sides to come to the negotiation table is the tariff an

that is the opportunity we can learn from and apply to washington. the focus on the solution and results, and focusing -- better than focusing on the partisan bickering. >> the wisconsin style work ethic, what does that mean? wisconsin, people put down some of the partisan bickering and focus on finding solutions. if you are in a shop floor in a manufacturing setting, you are trying to solve a problem and nobody cares what political party you are in or your background or what you stand for, you are trying to solve the problem and if we bring that approach to washington and focus on solving the problems facing our country, we will be far better off than if we are worried about scoring political points. on the shop floor? >> the last 10 years in the manufacturing sector, when you come in come everybody parks alongside each other and is focused on the same goal, delivering high-quality products for the consumer. if that was the mindset here, delivering a high-quality product for voters and hard-working families, we would be better off. doyou are 37 year

they are told to go to washington. in order to get to washington they have two options. they can take steamers and go around fortress monroe and up the chesapeake or they can go by land utilizing the railroad network that comes into washington. that is what most of the soldiers going into washington are going to do. the problem with that is there is no direct rail link between baltimore, say philadelphia, new york and washington, d.c. everything has to go to baltimore and change trains. andiers who are assembling preparing to go to washington, when they get to baltimore, they have to get out of there trains, walk a mile through downtown baltimore to the next train station. rapidlye was the most secessionist part of the state of maryland. many of the citizens of baltimore were not pleased to see troops in union blue marching through their city. on april 19, a group of massachusetts soldiers from the sixth massachusetts militia going to be attacked on the streets of baltimore. 4 massachusetts men are killed or mortally wounded. more than 10 civilians are killed. it ends up

washington's successor. and he wrote a pretty tough speech including this sentence, so long as any group within our nation is denied the full protection of the law, then lincoln's unfinished work is still unfinished. the memorial itself would be a hollow mockery, a symbol of hypocrisy unless we together can make real in our national life in every state and in every section the things for which he died. the only problem was, unlike the white speakers that day, molt on had to submit his speech in advance to the harding press office and they told him they had no intention of allowing him to make that statement. he could either eliminate the disagreeable passages or heaven forbid he talked about black rights, or he could retire from the proceeding, and they would not have an african-american speaker. so he, facing the prospect of losing the biggest white audience he had been able to speak before, consented to the censorship. his speech was not fully printed for another 60 years and was not performed for 75 years

back intoing washington, d.c. she is trying to get her job back at the patent office now abraham lincoln has been elected, a republican. barton is thrown out of the 1856, or in 1857. they accuse her of being a black republican. so now with a quote/unquote black republican in office in 1861, barton is going to try to get her job back and will of getting a job back at the patent office but it is events outside the city that throw barton into work during the civil war, into the work that will make her famous. of those events is going to take place just a few miles of washington, d.c., in downtown baltimore. april of 1861, after sumter,ardment of fort abraham lincoln is in a desperate situation. to defend that is right across the river from virginia, which is looking like may secede from the union. and so he needs troops. to defend theers city so he calls out the 75,000 men. go to,000 men are told to washington and so in order to get to washington, they have essentially two options. they can take steamers and go all t

what he's accused of joins me is been following this story get out of that as well neal you see washington is very touchy when it comes to venezuelan a landed in caracas just over the weekend and so with that thing alone already sent washington into a fall aggro mode they called it a provocation now trump you have trump saying that russia has to get out of venezuela and before that the donald trumps a national security advisor on venezuela in particular john bolton here's what he had to say. united states will not tolerate hostile foreign military powers meddling with the western hemisphere's shared goals of democracy security and the rule of law the venezuelan military must stand with the people of venezuela so really you can see how washington really views venezuela as its own backyard where it's free to do whatever it wants freely so for instance when washington cherry picks a president it likes for venezuela forget the elections it's fine when russia sends its military personnel there advisors for instance that's a big no no. just the only they did seem pretty thick united states won't

arnold was a protÉge of washington, and gates or someone who wanted to replace washington. he was kind of jealous of arnold. he had been confined to his tent during the battle by general gates. he left without any commands while the ground was shaking from the pounding of the guns. after being confined to his tent, he could tolerate no more, he dashed towards the battlefield shouting, no man shall keep me in my tent today. if i am without command i will fight in the ranks. the soldiers, god bless them, will follow my lead to big he or death. i galloped into the thickest of the fighting pursued by major john armstrong, who general gates had order to bring him back. arnold was faster and catching up with the rear of learners brigade. a soldier said, arnold was delighted. god bless you, i am glad to see you. come on, if the day is long enough. a cheer went up as he galloped back and forth on his horse, brandishing his sword over his head. what amazes me is the idea that someone without any official command could get out on that battlefield and the men would follow him. and the

how do we get from george washington to barack obama. how did we get from george washington to donald trump. one of the striking things is if you go to george washington to most presidents, you see a linear progression. some people would think that it has the client, -- declined, that the curve slopes down. between the comparison the first president and the current president goes all the way back to the second president. presidents always look better in the rearview mirror than when they are front and center. tot of this is we tend forget the failures and remember the successes. that's part of it. the other thing is that presidents are usually pretty talented people. and so there's -- they usually have a lot of positive things that can be said about them. but while they're president, typically the other party or sometimes factions with their own party have an incentive to tell you all the bad things about them. but once they leave office, that incentive is largely gone. this is why certain presidents fool themselves into thinking you kno

especially this trumpet ministration believes that venezuela is a wholly owned subsidiary of washington and then it again sends a very powerful message very strong message and i think washington is very worried about the symbolism of these russian advisors right and eventually a lot more than the out about what size of forces or capability. meanwhile venezuela's opposition leader has announced the first actions of the new opposition plan to oust president nicolas maduro will start on the sixth of april however did not specify what the actions would entail his words come in the wake of a second major power outage in the country the venezuelan government thinks it knows who is behind the blackout with the country's vice president naming the u.s. secretary of state mike pump aoe national security advisor john bolton and republican senator mark rubio or as she dubbed them the trio of misfortune perversity and criminality on monday much of venezuela remained without electricity just two weeks after a similar blackout local media claims that up to sixteen of twenty three states were affected

he took it to washington. he suspended it from ropes in exactly the position it would hold in the lincoln memorial interior, and then he got robert lincoln to come down and say, this is perfect. you couldn't do anything smaller. this persuasive work is now in the new york historical society. i am going to advocate for a label that fully discloses its history as the model that changed the size of the lincoln memorial. so, what next? daniel chester french is a great conceiver. he is a great modeler. he's not michelangelo. he does not take tools and begin chipping away at marble or, in this case, 28 blocks of marble from tennessee. 21 of them to be carved. and seven to make up the interior, and 19 of them defective, so they had to work around some problems. that was a work, that was work that was handled by immigrants. it's a nice story. ciorillie the pic brothers from italy. five of them, who worked in such tandem that, when one was finished with a chisel and ready to take break, he would hand it over to his bro

from all this let's cross over now chapter ten see it live in washington d.c. so she has now as the hour is not going there that must be getting even more of an opportunity to be polite many guns. right all of it was praise from benny gantz for netanyahu susan to leave in fact benny gantz had tweeted earlier this morning quote the reality in which hamas turned israel into a hostages on president fathomable netanyahu house to pack up now and return to israel to handle this serious escalation netanyahu now says he will be packing up and going home cutting short his his u.s. trip and so this was some praise to prime he doesn't you know he said. he that he appreciated but. now his decision to go back to israel and i'm getting some self said i will return to israel today as well in order to if necessary fight so that was the beginning of the speech was praised enough to know who will be cutting short his trip to the u.s. as well it would seem to return to israel as well beyond doubt by what we have is a pretty standard stump speech of benny gantz emphasizing his war

the dialogue between washington the p.r. and we believe that the dialogue on the denuclearization plus the. long piece of. long peace. negotiation of for the long piece of this area is is in the interest of all parties and china in young. in that regard beijing is sincere aplus. through those are the negotiation and also the track of denuclearization and to continue its economic reform and opening up to a bit of good news for all parties and i think that beijing would it do its utmost to to continue to support. the. opening up and the reform strategy if they me if they meet at the same time i think that beijing would also try to walk very closely with both young and washington so which means that we know those kind of negotiation would be very very complex and the long term and that these up and down is almost a. inevitable so even if there are some difficulties ahead of us i think going to beijing would continue to support both sides to be a patient to try to to try to add a most to bring these two parties on the table as b

that was george washington. and that's the kind of person americans wanted as their president in the early days of the republic in what i call the augustan age, from george washington up to john quincy adams before the united states became a democracy, a system in which president actually exercised political power. ordinary people did not elect george washington. ordinary people did not even elect the electors who chose george washington. according to the constitution, you'll read that each state shall select electors. it doesn't say how. they get to choose how. the states get to choose how the electors are chosen. until the 1820's, most state legislatures chose the electors not the voters in that state. and in that era americans expected the presidents to stand above them. no one wanted george washington to be just one of the gang. and this is why washington could get away with giving that reaction to gouverneur morris because it really served his purposes to be this one who held himself apart from everybody el

and the big debate in washington was between regulation and anti-trust. teddy roosevelt and herbert, his advisor, said regulation, we have to regulate. i believe, roosevelt was a trust buster. the other view, woodrow wilson and his advisor, lewis brandeis went to the supreme court is anti-trust, the best way of guaranteeing that the market worked was to make sure there was competition. that's the debate we're having today and we've got to face that those are the two choices. >> and just following up on that point, i wonder, senator klobuchar, if you could actually talk about the impact of the monopolizization. a lot of people focus on consumer prices and as we're seeing monopolizization can drop down ranges for people and have a range of effects. essentially why should americans care about anti-trust policy, how is that actually affecting them, the fact that we have so many mergers happening? >> first, let's look at a positive, the break-up of at&t. remember that? that was a major anti-trust case. took a lot of work. and what you saw there was more innova

that washington continues to view latin america as basically the countries the u.s. is back door now moscow also rejected criticism from the washington based organization of american states who said that russia actually broke venezuela's constitution by sending these troops and that they should have asked the self-proclaimed president of venezuela one who i don't know the leader of the opposition and the national assembly. the u.s. has once again decided to bring order to latin america starting with venezuela we regret that the organization of american states has aided washington in straightening its colonial habits as if unaware that any other country in the region getting touring full under u.s. pressure. this arrival of russian troops on these planes is definitely a game changer going forward. don't call it a report you know with the latest thank you. the u.n. security council is over the escalation tween israel and palestine i.d.f. tanks of lined up along the gaza border to fight egypt's attacked palestinian territory in response to alleged rocket fire tensions a

i'm a student at nyu's washington, d.c. campus around the corner and one of the things i've been struggling with as a young person getting started in washington is this idea of spending a life as a dissenting voice. what's your advice of young people who want to get started in political to combat the outage fatigue to actually make the country better? >> go into anti-trust. we really need -- we need dissenting voices. but i think you know the excitement going on right now of people that want to see change. you just don't have to go very far if you're here when you saw what happened the day after the inauguration with millions of people marching and you go through the last two years where people have been activated like never before. so i always tell people to get involved in campaigns. it doesn't have to be the national campaign. sometimes it's fun to get involved in a local issue where you can have more of a voice in a campaign and then advocating for an issue that you care about. and i'm kind of kidding about anti-trust b

not telling states what to do on many [inaudible] with washington, d.c. not telling states what to do. senator murray is correcting me. so, what advice do you have about the state exemptions and the effect on the concern we see today in the pockets of measles across the country? >> i think as we heard earlier, the choice to sort of make exemptions for difficult to get is as burdensome as not getting the vaccine is as incredibly important in washington state as you know we have two bills right now bu that are looking to remoe the personal exemptions from vaccines for school entry and childcare entry. i think that's one of the tools we have for this and i would also say in washington state another problem we have is 8% of our kids are out of compliance with school records so we don't even know if they were vaccinated or would like exemptions and we have to tackle that problem as well which is a resource issue for schools and public health i appreciate confirming advantage in the case of an identifying exposure sites, crafting community messages. there's a l
