once again, welcome to the city of taft. glad to have you over here. if people truly understand what the petrochemical industry does, what petroleum does for them, day to day on every single day, it would just absolutely blow up some of the misconceptions. simply take a look around. if you're sitting in your living room and you're comfortable where you are, what are you wearing? are you wearing just wool and cotton? are you wearing polyesters and nylons and rayon? the oil and gas industry and the petrochemical industry create so many benefits, and all of these things that impact quality of life are things that people are taking for granted. man 2: they are essentially putting their heads in the sand and saying, "we're gonna drill, baby, drill until we can't drill no more, either by an act of god or because an act of government, and i think that's irresponsible. man 1: thquality life in the united states of america, the state of california, the globe is going to be the marriage and the efficient use of all of our available technologies, but if we learn

there's a granted and i was going to say helen taft, you know, helen taft everybody says she got her husband to the white house because he was in line for an appointment to the supreme court under theodore roosevelt and helen taft got wind of that and she went over and met the president and talk to him and after she did the president talk to her husband and said i can see why an appointment to the supreme court is not what you want at this time. and then of course taft went ahead and won the presidency and the story is that helen rushed down from her seat in the in the capital where he was being inaugurated and gotten the car because before then the assistant always rode back to the white house with the new president and she made sure she was sitting beside her husband and rode back and then when they they got there they walked in and this is perhaps apocryphal but she said, okay i made you president now, let's see what you'll do with it. so, yes, unfortunately, you know, she had a stroke a couple months later and so much of the joy that she would have found in the white house. unfor

the funeral is william howard taft and he sobbing. in fact, someone said the only thing you could hear was the dinging of a buoy and the former president crying so they certainly did patch up there there disagreements in terms of his favor place his home. he loved his home oyster bay but away from home and when he was president, he loved to go to a small cottage in virginia called pine knot. you wouldn't find it on a map. you probably can't visit it without spending some serious time doing some trekking and this was the reason why he wanted to go there he wanted to get away from everything and and find some peace with his family. where is it in virginia, roughly? i think it's near charlottesville, but i i'm not 100% sure about that. yes. it's very hard to get to i don't think you can drive to the the cabin. it's recently been restored, but it's a single pile like upstairs downstairs cabin if there's nothing to it you wouldn't imagine a would be there. to live in the white house the executive mansion and to still find the great solace

. >> julia grant and helen taft. everyone says she got her husband to the white house because he was in line for an appointment to the supreme court under theodore roosevelt and helen got wind of that, she went over to meet the president and talked to him, after she, did the president went to him and said i can see why a appointment to the supreme court is not what you want at this time. then of course went on to win the presidency. the story is helen rushed down from her seat in the capital, where he was being inaugurated, and got in the car because before then, the assistant always went back to the white house with the president and she made sure she was sitting next to the president. when they got there, they walk there and this is perhaps apocryphal and she said, i made you president, let's see what you do with that. unfortunately she had a stroke a couple months later and so much of the joy she would have found in the white house and fortunately she did not find, but yes, actually now that i think of it i can co

i did not expect the excellence of stewardship by john taft. he is baird vice-chairman, a legacy of american politics and wall street. it was a primal caused by john taft about the state of wall street. we are thrilled that we can revisit with john taft on stewardship. john, a year ago, i opened the wall street journal and one page with retrading and the next page with retrading and the page after that was free trading -- everything is free now and look at the mess we're in with order flow. how do we extract ourselves from all of the disaster we have seen from order flow, back to something or forward to something more normal? john: you are talking about payment for order flow, which is the engine that powers a lot of these free retail trading platforms. tom, i have always felt that paying for order flow was a smelly practice. it is legal. it has to be married with all sorts of assurances that you are getting best execution. if you are selling off customer order flow and getting paid for that, how does that not create a conflict with your obliga

>> which portrait, i don't know nellie taft, that is really cool. because she is such a tiny little thing, and you see her perched on the bench, in the garden in front of the white house. the white house is in the distance, and she just looks like a princess. and yet she was such a force. she is the first first lady who insisted on riding in the prosession to the inauguration with her husband. and basically i'm going to cherish every single moment, and you can get a little sense from that portrait, of her sense of self. and she has a lot on her mind. in that picture she has been in the garden, and i can almost imagine her making plans, to bring the cherry trees to the basin. and that she felt worthy of a full length really large portrait. when so many of these women, were not, were not ever portrayed in that way. we have an exhibition, which is the daughter of zachary taylor. and she served as a hostess in the white house for her mother. her mother margaret taylor, never had a portrait made. there is none that we know of of her, and we don't actuall

guest: typically there is only a weak relationship between taft and burglary. and a reasonably strong one between auto theft and murder. last year was the -- auto theft was the one property crime that rose. there is a relationship there. it is difficult to suss out. typically you see an increase in shootings, and when people are doing shootings they're going to want stolen cars. that leads to increases in auto thefts. that is an evidence-free hypothesis there. go back the last 25 years, when murder goes up, auto theft tends to go up. last year it was even more strongly related. host: it has been a few months since things have started to open up in terms of cities and the easing of restrictions, have there been any signs in terms of where the crime rate is going, particularly the homicide rate? guest: right now we have 72 cities we are tracking. in those 72 cities murder is up 18%. historically you get 25, 50 cities, you can do a great job of predicting the national murder trend. the challenge this year is in understanding what it means and, is it a valid compar

taft admitted in a letter to his son that this case created a new principal. even more revealingly, in a letter that he wrote he wrote i know what you said and i will try to steer away from a suggestion that we are introducing a new law. a new principle of constitutional of constant -- and applying them to new conditions. let me explain how this decision was a new rule. first, it allowed agents to stop and search a car if they believed they had reasonable or probable cause. it allowed the police rather than a magistrate to determine legal cause. he applied a lower standard. at the time carol was decided, most prohibition offenses were misdemeanors. common law for misdemeanor required knowledge. essentially, what they did was lower the standard from knowledge to reasonable belief. the upshot is that carol, and set of creating a narrow exception for circumstances, it allowed the police to act based on their belief and judgment. it will authorize discretionary policing. when a judge criticize michigan's version of the carol rule which today, is called the automob

when taft explained that it was possible to get a warrant that it would be reasonable to require one. but if it wasn't possible to get a warrant, it would be reasonable not to require a warrant. it would seem that reasonableness appended -- depended on whether there was time to get a warrant. but that wasn't the rule of the decision. he created an entirely new rule for cars and the ruling is right here. the search and seizure of a car is reasonable and constitutional an officer has probable cause for believing the automobile has contraband or liquor that is being illegally transported. taft admitted in a letter to the sun right here that the case created a rather new principal, even more revealingly he wrote to the justice, i know what you say and i will try to steer away from the just -- distinction that we have a new law with constitutional construction, but are only adapt during old principles and applying them to new conditions. let me explain how this decision was a new rule. first it allowed prohibition agents to stop such a car if they believed that they had reasonable or proba

brother's just the 2 brothers and a group of friends spent a whole week regain a 2800 foot wire across taft point in yosemite earlier this month after that daniel and his brother carefully crossed the wires 1600 feet above the ground. we caught up with him earlier and asked how it felt when they finally reached the other side. >> it's definitely an amazing feeling. they honestly sometimes i look at my feet and i still can't believe that's there. >> but >> it just it for this specific kind of a very special just because. you look at all the work behind. did you see your friends at the anchor cheering. and i mean give you is just amazing. you have cap. cap of 10 right in front of you. you see the valley. you see the waterfalls and i think it's just one of the best experiences i least from my life. >> all both brothers fell a few times, but they had their safety harnesses on to catch their falls. the new high line record is nearly 3 times longer than the previous one and they say that they have a few more trips planned that are even bigger than yosemite. >> coming up next on kron, 4 news at su

experience working with russia and engaging with putin, former ambassador to russia 2014 to 2017, don taft -- john tefft. from what you have seen and heard about this meeting, was it a success or not? mr. tefft: i think it is too early to say. i think what the president was trying to do was to lay a base, he was trying to establish a diplomatic work with which to deal with the russians they would i think the president -- russians. i think the president spoke candidly to put in about an array of issues, but i think we are not going to know for three to six months. which was a carefully scripted, diplomatic strategy which started last week the g7 summit, continued through the nato summit, then culminated today, with the hope that there will be something there. i was encouraged to see that there was a group eating on cyber. no guarantees -- group meeting on cyber. no guarantees there. from the statements both of the presidents made, there were some tough words exchanged. that said, it was businesslike, putin called it effective, constructive. i think we will have to see. it is too early to sa

with us ambassador john taft, he's the former u.s. ambassador to russia. mr. ambassador, thanks for being with us. first, we know that the president says it will take three to six months to determine if this is a success. what can we glean from what we've seen already today, if this was a successful meeting? >> well, i think many of us thought, victor, and thank you for having me on, many of us thought that the strategy here going in was to try to lay it out on the table, what the united states, what the biden administration's approach was going to be. today, we saw the last stage of what's been a carefully cultivated and crafted diplomatic strategy, over the last week, going to the g7 summit, nato, eu and now finishing with putin. and i think president biden laid it out pretty clearly in his interview very simply what his diplomatic strategy was going to be. put out the bottom line that he had, and challenge putin where we disagree. then we'll just have to see over the next few months whether things will work. obviously, the cybergroup is an important one. we

they spent a week stringing a 2,800-foot air walk from taft point. both brothers made it across only falling six times between the two of them. that's terrifying. congratulations to them. >>> meanwhile a connecticut aquarium is auctioning off being able to name three beluga whales. they trance portsed the new animals from canada in may. officials hope to raise $4 million to offset the cost of transportation and to help care for the animals, which they estimate is going to cost about $5 million annually. our apologies to parents around children who will have "baby belugas" stuck in their head for the rest of the day. >>> and up next, we'll hear from a doctor. >>> and on this date in history, a jury found john hinckley not guilty in the shooting of ronald reagan and three other men. >> do you think justice was done, sir? >> no comment. >> the president's wife called the verdict unbelievable and one of the president's predecessors agreed. >> i think the outcome so far was outrageous. outcome so far was outrageous from dry and stressed, to bright and smo

between first ladies and the questioner asked about dolly madison and sarah polk and lucy hates and nelly taft. i don't know if there's some some well known ones. you might want to reference. well, you know who ended asked friends. and on a campaign trail for the era was roseland carter and betty ford. they ended up being a very dynamic duo and i have a current phd student who's routing her dissertation on this topic about their campaign together rosencarter and and betty ford for the era, you know. hillary clinton and jackie kennedy became very good friends. of course, john f. kennedy was one bill clinton's political idols and mrs. clinton looked to jackie kennedy, although unfortunately, jackie kennedy died just a couple of years into the clinton presidency as someone to to provide guidance to to her in her role as first lady and jackie kennedy also had known betty ford when they were, you know, congressional wives together and she also was gave advice to to mrs. ford. i'm trying to think of some other good relationships are friendships. i don't know of any. bad, you know downright hostile r

dwight eisenhower had not comes rented to take the republican nomination in 1952, very likely, robert taft's views would have created a very different kind of international order during and after the cold war. so it is not unhealthy that conservatives are having this kind of bar fight, because that is how we both affirm the principles of conservatism, and also how we test them against contemporary challenges. my sense of what should be conservative foreign policy is grounded very much in eisenhower foreign policy. namely, a belief that the country has a right to both security and solvency, and that how we preserve our liberties and advanced them in the world needs to be consistent with the demand of our domestic needs, and with shaping the that is that i do think the architects of the american dominated international order that they brought into being after world war ii. these were not idealistic academics. they were the hardest hit man who had fought japan and nazi germany and they wanted wider margin of error in the international order before 1945 had given us. i actually think it has been

nelly taft who's right there next to paving the way a loud newspapers to quote her directly and even on controversial subjects such as women's equality, although she stopped short, i believe that women should hold office, but she did talk about the need for better careers better working conditions and for more higher education for women. ellen wilson who's in the upper, right? woodrow wilson's first wife was an accomplished artist and a various student politician who went so far during her husband's very contentious first election cycle to issue a press release and deliver it personally to answer claims that she supported women smoking. and as a forerunner to first ladies who champion social causes ellen wilson took up a cause and that was the living conditions in the alleys where many african-american and immigrants lived in in dc. she took elected officials and toured them. she provided financial support for development of alternative housing and she supported legislation that was referred to as the alley bill and she followed that legislation which was passed on the day. she died

and that is making the commanders, making senior and feels aware of what's taft ice. how we support victims. how every victim that comes, and when that comes through that door who is reporting that incident needs to be talked to, has the advocacy counselor to create a safety plan. and then move on to the incident determination committee so that all reports of abuse are collected and we can paint a better picture to our command and tour services about what might be going on, what trends are going on and how to get support to anyone that is telling us that there is an issue and there's a problem and they do not feel safe at home. >> all right, it does i think help us recognize that you cannot serve, in this case, both the victim and the service member or vice versa. so, i think we're going to have to look at that more closely. those are all my questions. anyone else with questions? all right. thank you all for concerned about. i don't know if we have every question i know the gao we will follow that very closely and will require compliance. it is not good enough to say

questioned whether that retro session was legitimate including no less than president lincoln and president taft and others. so it remains an open question. >> what is the way that would have to be resolved? >> the court would have to speak to it. >> you'd have to find someone with standing, first of all. >> the standing issue would certainly come up with respect to retro session to maryland, he would certainly need the consent of maryland to do that. if i may respond to a point that professor primus made, the grant of land from maryland to the district was made pursuant to article one, the enclave clause for the specific purpose of creating a seat for the new government. now he used a hypothetical, i will give you hypothetical. suppose that immediately upon receiving that land, the federal government turned around and created a state rather than the seat of the new government. everybody would agree that was sheer political mischief. if that's the case, then what difference does it make whether they did it immediately or in the intervening 200 years? the principle remains the same. they did not
