washington. at one point puts shoves the sticking to the bottom of the the river raft hits it into the river washington goes just enough strength he hangs to that raft guess who ends up with a pretty severe case of frostbite by the time this is over helps, haul washington out onto the raft. the raft lodges against the small island in the allegheny river and where they spend the night. how both of these men did not die of hypothermia. i cannot imagine washington, especially having been into the river completely soaked in freezing temperatures. nonetheless, they survive the following. i don't think i say when they awoke because i doubt they slept following morning. when light comes, what they see, the river has actually frozen over. they cross over to a trading post later that day, get sustenance, get warmth, recover the following day. washington sets out again heading for virginia. and on january the 16th, 1777, one month after having departed for a meeting with the french, he delivers message to

so this little job is going to be any real change in washington. well, i mean obviously there was, there is a fair amount of pomp and circumstance involved with his visit, rolling out the red carpet essentially. and i guess the landscape in a sense was kinda welcomed home like the son who just graduated from university. but i wanted to ask you about, so essentially ok, so the u. s. b u. s. government, that pos, passing up a 45000000000 to the landscape. but they actually made it a clause in the saying that this money and weapons must not go to the neo nazi as off. but talia and i was really surprised to see after all these months. western officials suddenly acknowledging the neo nazi as a battalion and american dollars and weapons mustn't go to them. how do you read into that george? well, it is interesting. i mean that, that has that is a change. it may well be an attempt to accommodate the republicans because why the school that overall that wouldn't be any real change of policy. if there are now more republican voices saying, we need to do an au

washington dandridge. when you try to find martha washington's niece and martha washington dandridge, things can be a little tricky. for the next bit iht w things we did with a lot of the editing three accura transcript.. the writing is very, yodon't have to worry about reading this. this isransiption as it appears in the recollections and prmemoes of martha washington -- it is a letter fres per, a lawyer from -- county, to martha washington's first husband, daniel park custis. i stayed with him on i. i presented jack with little jack's bridal unsaddle. next slide please. this is about the manuscript says it says i stayed with him a good part of last night it is already slightly different. i've presented something crosstown, something to jack and my little jack's horse and saddle. what is crossed out there? if something is crossed that we try to read it. if it's something significant, not just repeated later in the same sentence, we try to include in footnotes. if you take a look -- next slide please, i kn

as long as it takes and announced that washington would, washington would deliver a patriot missile battery to ukraine, lensky think, biden, and the american public for their support. you urged us lawmakers to pass tens of billions of dollars and new aid to ukraine. and to back here for the long term. you're watching the daily news. stay tuned for business news with daniel winter. and don't forget, you can find much more on our website, that's d, w dot com. i'm mommy and he says thanks for joining us. with every journey is full of surprises. we've got it all out with.

i think washington is primarily targeting south africa. they want to break all africans resolved not to get involved in the conflict between russia and, and century america. they sent secretary lincoln to toria, to basically the mon from president trauma for the that's how they actually got should join the american coalition. and then they, they basically some president from us was up to washington. i asked him a very short notice to appear there to come to, and again, he was steadfast, he did not cave in. and now of course, the big threat for africa is that the bible ministration might not prolong the presidential trade agreement. we saw that africa known as the agreement, which allows products from southern africa to enter the american market, free of customs duties. and this is the basis. hold on that because automobile manufacturing, because most automobile manufacturers in south africa exporting to america and a significant way if that a court should fall away, it would probably immediately increase the number of jobs since about 3 to

washington. there is resistance amonu washington. there is resistance among some — washington. there is resistance among some republicans - washington. there is resistance among some republicans to - washington. there is resistance i among some republicans to keep washington. there is resistance - among some republicans to keep up this level of funding of ukraine and the signal that they won't be voting for these kinds of spending packages in the same way as has been in the past, there are republican supports, strong republican support sectors for strong eight to ukraine and traditional believe that this is more than just ukraine, spout the international order and strategic crisis in europe, they are quite happy to continue to see this level of aid. but there those are more in the mould of donald trump, make america great again or america first kind of having that view and save us money should be spent here. there's going to be a recession possibly. a lot of inflation and people in ukraine are feeling the same. the politics are taking over which means that there'll probably be

to change washington as we know it today. we can't afford to continue to spend the way the democrats have. the future generation cannot afford it as well. with that, let me turn it over to our whip and soon to be majority leader, steve scalise. mr. scalise: thank you, kevin. we need to change the way washington does business. in fact, we ran on an agenda of changing the way washington does business. and right after that election, where the american people said that they want a check and a balance on the biden administration, where they want to change leadership in the house, we see washington trying to do that same business one last time right before christmas. by bringing this omnibus appropriations bill that nobody has seen, as kevin pointed out, just a handful of people at most are writing it right now. it's still not even available for anyone to read. yet they want the ability to go and bring that on the eve of christmas because it's a sign that congress failed to do its job. the democrat house, the democrat senate, the d

then they start talking about how to screw the washington post because of course they thinkthe washington post . so colson has a plan to drive down the washington topost share price. i think it was $38. and coulson succeeded in driving it down to i think $35. $28. and he's boasting about this nixon. he's delighted to inform the time he was doing great, everybody's fortunes are up except those post . their stock has dropped three more points since i last. that's too damn bad for our clients. isn't that ashame, coulson. in december and record " . keep them busy, nixon. today, time to go to bed. the president had to be upfor the inauguration day ceremony . he said good night to his special counsel and hung up e the phone . two floors below and a lot in the left-wing basement, were 4000 reels real tape recorder stoppedworrying . now if any of you did ap literature you know that's an example of i think it's called foreshadowing which means you put in a little detail to suggest what is going to happen laterin the story . and so i'm introducing the tape recorders and the tapes as a kind of chara

ready number one, a, me or rival, but now official line of washington, d. c, that china is a most, you know, serious challenger to the u. s. and the u. s. lead in the national order and dante's official line, if that's a challenge or of course, whatever china us either see, a kind of lost the united states because people in washington, d. c. c. the u. s. channel combination has a 0 sum game, which i think is layer on the product that is very common, productive. but of course, the united states of america as people in what in the d p. c, were trying to water down the significance on the summit. but the fact, these are fact i seen is, like i said, just now it has a great significance both in terms of symbolic and saucers, awful or china as they're going our and number 2 power and also number one inch, a trading light on us need a kind of reliable supply of energy which in the us where the golf countries produce. on the other hand, the gum hunters also need china as a major power tips. establish a new strategic banners in the region. it was awfully a decent. w

and so they amplified, it served all their careers and it is coming from washington because in washington, that's the heart of where the polluted ization takes place. not so much in the field. colleen, what does this case say about the progress or the lack of progress? the national security whistleblowers have made in the last 15 years or so. well, i think there were a couple of additions, maybe tweaks to the law. i noticed that steve friend claim that he made a protected disclosure to his supervisor, his immediate supervisor. and i, i know that the prior law, the prior administrative regulations did not allow a whistleblower to make a protective disclosure to their supervisor you had. so i think some things have been changed slightly, but overall not c friend was suspended fairly immediately. and the f b, i looks like they didn't take much of his concerns seriously. now again, it remains to be seen. if a more objective inspector general will do that. it's possible. obviously the department of justice inspector general did find that the f b. i violated a lot of rules and law in going to t

it's very powerful because you hear countries that are, we're here in washington this week. gonna kenya. so many others that had been the victims of imperialism in the past. and who see that now happening to ukraine by russia. during the 3 day summits, the u. s. declared the importance of africa in solving global problems and in a bit to competes with africa as other partners, namely china and washington 5, russia. washington has already signed deals with $15000000000.00 on voice support for the african unions bid for g 20 membership. you, a secretary of defense also tried to accuse russia and china of destabilizing activities in africa. asia responded by urging washington to stop using africa as an arena for power games, which are what me. but not all african countries were allowed to attend the u. s. hosted cement guinea sudan, eritrea marlene burkina faso didn't receive an invitation either because they've been suspended from the african union or because they like diplomatic ties with america. we spoke to a number of people from those countries who shared their opinions a

but when it comes to reactions from washington, what do we know sofa with the trumpet? metal tariffs, actually the, the washington is just basically rejected. the w t o's ruling in that. and that's not something that's uncommon. it does that pretty often when things don't go its way. but in terms of the semiconductor export controls, washington is saying is saying that this doesn't, i have to do. i mean this, that this has to, with us is the u. s. is national security concerns and so that the world trade organization is not the right forum to be having this discussion. as we have already communicated to the people's republic of china. these targeted actions relate to national security and the w t. o is not the appropriate forum to discuss issues related to national security. let's not forget, these are metal tariffs that the trumpet, ministration put forward in 2018. they were not just unpopular with china. they were also unpopular with some of the u. s. is traditional longstanding allies and this time china is not standing alone either. there's also turkey and switzerl

a nigerian researcher from human rights watch says washington's unwillingness to assist in providing clarity is worrisome. it bound to guns, failure to provide information and talk commends to determine possible u. s. involvement in a nash strike that took manney's civilian lodge in ne nigeria does not bode well for the u. s. government expressed commitment to transparency and accountability. it tends worrisome message that at minimum, the defense department isn't willing to engage from an issue affecting countless lives and may even reflect an attempt to evade responsibility. their camps, residents killed in the air strikes, had been fleeing the conflict in north eastern nigeria where the government is fighting militants and had thought they were safe in that area. nigerian officials have express regret over the attack a local correspond. it brings us more details. 5 years ago and angela mutually a strike, it's a civilian comp and the board at all. no for wrong. 180 kilometers from maple cri, claiming that the life of at least 115 people, including children and humanitarian walk us

we see a lot of letters that pass between tyler and mary going back from virginia to washington washington to virginia. tyler took 18 interest in what his daughter was reading. recommended all the things he read when he was young. we definitely wanted her to develop a fertile mind. his oldest son, robert tyler was born in 1816 had a pretty decent relationship with john tyler. he was a student at william and mary like his father. did well at william and mary but there is still a distance between the two of them or formality almost. the fact they did not see each other that much will robert was growing up. john tyler junior was born in 1819 no doubt took his father's absence of the hardest. young john, and eventually became an alcoholic, suffered through a troubled marriage that was largely his doing. before and after despaired of that one point thinking he was going to be dead they found that his son and namesake would be dead. with his children, leticia who found it extremely difficult to deal with her husband continuous absences. there is an anecdote from may of 1831 that is particularly

remember that for washington? everything's always binary. you're either with them or you're with the terrorists, and now it's either with us. we're with china and washington is so afraid of losing to china on the global economic plainfield that is now demanding that its allies pick aside. particularly when it comes to cutting china off of western technology with which beijing can make semiconductors, thereby hindering its ability to compete with the u. s. on the global playing field in the technological market place. so now here is one of your, it's 2 largest makers of semiconductor components. the dutch company s am i complaining of washington pressuring allied states to cut their own, multinational corporations off at the knees, despite china, by getting them to sign on to new proposed ship related export controls. look, it doesn't take a genius to figure out how bad that is for european business. s. m, i has already taken stock, have the potential damage our equipment sales in china at 16 percent of our total revenue in the 1st 9 months o

now, his recent trip to washington has demonstrated doubts according to top, russian officials become, wasn't for her to do. it says really, we know with regret that neither biden nor zalinski have spoken words that could be perceived as a potential willingness to listen to. russia's concerns. no words have been heard. warnings zalinski against the shelling of residential buildings and dumb boss, and no cause for peace. have been made. this shows that the united states is de facto and indirectly fighting to the last ukranian de lensky visit to washington and his conversations. he has shown that neither the u. s. administration nor zalinski is ready for peace. the focus was on the conflict, the death of ordinary soldiers, and the further into connection of the ukrainian regime with the needs of washington or some western media outlets echoed a similar sentiment questioning why the u. s. should keep sending so much to ukraine. one example of that fox news anchor tucker carlson said he has no right to demand that washington prop off the eastern european country with tens of billions of d

no. unusually for washington. nothing leaked until very late yesterday afternoon when there was a suggestion that the president zalinski was going to make his way here to washington . and that will get confirmation that nancy pelosi was organizing a joint session of congress on wednesday evening. now consider that there's a big winter storm heading towards the east coast of washington, d. c. many, congress, men and women. many senators will be hoping to get away early. there was really only one reason there will be kept by that early this wednesday just before christmas. and that's for a visit by the ukrainian president. is there any significance of the timing, at least in so far as us politics are concerned? for 1st of all, it's $300.00 days since russia had invaded ukraine, said that's significant as well. there's been some talk over the last couple of days over the ukrainians, obtaining the patriot missile defense system from the u. s. that is going to happen as well. and there's going to be discussions on capi

washington itself has a long history of meddling in the region. the invasion of iraq, us fact toppling of libya's government and the american support levels in syria. just a few recent examples. as now discussed this with the university of to run professor science behind the door on the way. thanks for joining us on the program. i'd like to know your take on the statement from the cia chief and what do you make of the timing? it just shows that the united states and nato are on the losing end of this global struggle. i see ukraine as a part of a much larger conflict between the west and the non western world. the global south wants a multi owner or they no longer will holler 8 the world being under the control of western regime for hundreds of years. these regimes have suppressed the rest of the world. the colonized the rest of the world. and that must come to an end. and the fact that the iranians and the russians are cooperating together, pushes this struggle forward. and i think that that is just simply making the americans more angry, but thei
