washington? we've heard the story about george washington. why write about his mother? >> because she's a misunderstood figure of history. she's been badly treated by american history. there's never been a definitive biography done of george washington's mother which i find remarkable. it's not just because she had him. that would be too easy an answer. it's how she raised him. her husband, augustine, died when george was just 11 years old. mary was a single mother in her 30s raising 6 children. that alone i think would resonate with a lot of women in america today and the tough times she went through raising her children. there was a -- when she was referred to biographers from time of her passing until about the time of the civil war, she came across this kind of june cleaver, or mary, mother of christ, or whatever. after the civil war when realism began to take hold in american literature with "moby dick" and "tom sawyer" and all that, the biographers made her look more like joan crawford. bot

if you think of washington, d.c. as shaped like a diamond, fort stevens is at the tip of the diamond near where the old walter reed army medical center is. fort stevens is still there today. it's reconstructed. we will get to that in a minute. his is fort stevens today. the only one that still stands -- i can be corrected on this, but the only one that still stands is fort ward, which is in alexandria. it's open to the public. the other ones are all gone. you know the area of fort reno. there were lots of others. like i said, they were defensive forts. they were well fortified with guns. they were open to the inside. who was manning these forts? we have a problem if we are the union right now in 1864. basically every able-bodied man was out there with grant trying to choke out lee down in richmond. originally we think that those forts were designed to be manned by 40,000, 50,000 troops. but because the -- all of those troops were engaged elsewhere, because the confederates had never attacked washington before, what w

would we talk about washington, d.c. being one of the most heavily fortified cities in the world, this is what we are talking about. maybe not what the defense of washington look like. they were cheap. by the time the civil war begins, they could knock down stone walls. these were only temporary. we are going to build these forts, secure the federal capital and when the war is over, we will return the land back to the land owners. we have the wall itself. it is about six feet deep. you see the sharpened sticks. from the birdseye view you can see the fort. the men can stand there if they are under fire. you could see where they store the ammunition and the powder. these forts were designed differently. they adhered them to the ground they were sitting on. depending on what it looked like, they designed it to look a certain way. as you can see, there is an image here of what they call the arlington line. you could see the design covering as much space as they could. every avenue of approach to the city will be covered. the

washington has decided that even the closest nato allies don't deserve mercy if the us geo political and commercial ambitions are at stake why while it's easy follow the money russia doesn't ask much for its gas and nord stream too will be europe's cheapest way of getting the blue fuel and that's in stark contrast to the alternative washington is trying to force feed on its treasured allies across the atlantic shale gas because really there's only one economy that has to be strong uncle sam's even at the expense of its nato partners and the made in america stamp may be fancy but the markup for the freedom brand makes the whole affair outright economically stupid for the e.u. also washington's been trying to convince brussels that tightening its belt and enjoying a bit extra economic stress is well worth it because it's all for a good cause supporting a nother european a friend in need ukraine which had been left out of the pipeline deal to keep working together to stop the north stream to project that undermines your creates economic and strategic security we do not want our european

is it washington post, broadcast news? guest: it is the mainstream media, the big networks, abc, nbc, cable news. it is also the legacy newspapers, the new york times, the washington post. many of those outlets i actually use. almost 15% of the book is in notes. i have sourced these outlets. they do make the mistake of doing good journalism every now and then. the overwhelming majority of their coverage does not go deeper into the root causes on many of the issues that i talk about, whether it be climate change or immigration or crime. i think generally, it goes back to the distrust that you see in survey after survey. trusterican people don't that the mainstream media is telling them the truth or the whole truth. led to the rise of new media. i am an editor at breitbart news. and seeingly living how millions of people are still reading the legacy media and looking to new outlets like breitbart news to get another side of the story that they feel like they are not getting anywhere else and from mainstream media. host: let
