my focus is on virginia. it is why we were the best date -- the best state for business, why we were the best managed state and the best state to raise a child, high median income and low unemployment. my focus on virginia is how we have been able to bring down veterans' unemployment, do smart things like allow exports of crude petroleum. i will work with this president when he is right, but i will stand up against him when he is wrong for virginia or wrong for the country. compare that with a 100% trump guy who said president trump was standing up to vladimir putin when everybody who watched that , knew he was bowing down to him. thank you.

so this ends up in a lawsuit in virginia and this is very primitive times in virginia. the magistrate as a wealthy plantation owner named pope and in the case attained the captan and john the sailor he takes a shine to the young john the sailor and magistrate pope pays off the debt with a big package of beaver pelts and that is how primitive the economy was still. they were meeting at the exchange and they not only pay off the debt but also introduced john the sailor to his daughter, and of course what happens john the sailor marries and pope and they are so pleased with this arrangement but they get 7 acres of land. this kind of serendipitous turn of events. it was kind of a midland global tobacco planter. i say that they are more like tobacco farmers. they don't have great holidays with marble hallways and thousands of acres and hundreds of slaves. they do have some service but it's a much smaller scale. so, george himself was born roughly 75 years after john the sailor arrived at. his first wife died young. when george was 11, his father died and at this point if he

in virginia history. this jury thus this was the hearis jury was ready to the trial against jefferson davis. and i thought that was interesting. i thought that was interesting to mention because underwood was not only an abolitionist, but he was a great champion of african-americans, and he made a n effort to make sure there were african-americans on that jury that would hear the case against jefferson davis, and presumably, they would go after -- they had davis, trygo after davis first, and presumably, lee would have been second. they would have tried him next. one thing i will say about this, too, that i think is sort of interesting is the case against davis, and then, of course, against all of the confederates, broke down because the attorney general, i think, felt he was doing the right thing and believed that treason should be tried by a jury in a traditional court and not only that, but treason needed to breach right in the location where it was committed. in this case, virginia. if we stop and thin

the topic of discussion was the union army siege of yorktown, virginia. the men present at the discussion were president jefferson davis, george wythe randolph, the confederate secretary of war. randolph was also a grandson of thomas jefferson. davis and randolph were meeting four confederate generals. robert e. lee, joseph johnson, james long street and gus ta vary smith. union general george mcclelland had an army at yorktown. the confederate was john mcgruder, prince john. he was quite clever, an interesting, flamboyant, theatrical man. magruder put on a show for george mcclelland. he marched his men in a circle around and around in front of a gap in the forest that separated the two armies. he told him men to be as noisy as they possible could and shout out orders to nonexistence units. he had men in the back of the lines chop down trees, strip from branches, paint them black and set them up horizontally on hillsides so they looked like cannons. all this stuff worked. george and his spies were apparently fooled by these tricks being played on them by

virginia -- [laughter] dr. pitcaithley: they claim in the introduction of their 1912 version they did not have enough money to publish it. don't argue with that. virginia deliberated the longest and produced -- and today the way it has been packaged for the centennial -- four volumes, 3000 pages of virginia's deliberations that started in january and did not end until after fort sumter. a third range of information is from the state legislatures of tennessee and kentucky. tennessee did ultimately secede, but it never called a secession convention. it let its state legislature decide on that weighty measure. kentucky never thought about calling a secession convention, but it considered itself an honest broker, so there was a lot of discussion between the governor and the house of representatives and the senate, in kentucky, and they left their printed version almost immediately. finally, there's the record of the washington peace convention. in early january, virginia, the legislature, called for a national conv

namely, virginia. ee did not resign from the united states army to fight for theconfederate cause, greatest misnomer in civil war history. he left the army to defend his state. lee hoped that virginia would be neutral in the contest. when he resigned from the army, virginia had just said it was independent, that it belonged to no group. lee hoped virginia would remain neutral, which, of course, it could not. geography alone, it was the centerpiece for the war. virginia remained with the union, robert e lee would have -- robert e. lee would have fought for the union. as simple as that. you have to think about that, we now live under a federal government that does everything for us. 1860, the federal government. he touched your life in one way -- it delivered mail to your post office. you tried cases in state and local courts. rarely did you go beyond that. 10% of americans in 1860 had ,ever been out of their county much less out of their state. it was all localism. there was no flak of which anyone was

it is concerning to the commonwealth of virginia. as you mentioned, species recovery is a question of science. science is an involving process. we always find out more than what we currently know about species and the ecosystems they live in. judicial review is a tool that we have to make sure we are doing things right. if there is a situation where we make a delisting decision that we find out a few years later was an error, having to wait three more years for somebody to be able to challenge that is not really the place we want to be. for that reason i think it -- >> it's a balance. there is not an american that things we are over litigious and anyways. but it is a balance between having the flexibility necessary so science can actually guide. that is the next question i have , one of the strengths of the esa as we know it has the strength to provide the fish and wildlife service to update a recovery plan. this bill would require a unanimous agreement among members on a recovery team to change the goals of her recovery plan. do you

-- then-west virginia senator robert c. byrd during his confirmation process to the d.c. circuit. most west virginians and americans know, i think, that the reverence that senator byrd had for the constitution. during his speech judge kavanaugh spoke of reading the text of article 1 with senator byrd and senator byrd was among the democrats who voted to confirm judge kavanaugh to the d.c. circuit. i think that judge kavanaugh's record on the d.c. circuit and his experience merit a bipartisan confirmation conference, the same type of bipartisanship that senator byrd showed when he vowed for judge -- voted for judge kavanaugh. the confirmation process for a well-qualified supreme court nominee does not have to focus on trying to guess how justice kavanaugh might rule in a particular case. as a matter of fact, i think that would be a futile exercise and quite damaging to the process at the same time. if we're looking for a fair umpire, there's no reason that a nominee with a strong record of applying the text of the constituti
