my favorite meme is washington crossing the delaware and says, "americans, we will cross the delaware and kill you in your sleep while you're drunk. we've done it before." is this true or not? all right. we've got a third of you believe that this is true. two-thirds of you believe it is not true. if you looked at the title of this, it was "drunk hessians and other myths." this is a myth. this was not true. the hessians were quite the opposite. again, they were professional soldiers. they were under constant attacks from differentilitia forces and always ready for an attack. the night of the christmas, actually, like i said, the snow forced them into their -- forced them in, but they're going to sleep that night with their uniforms on, muskets ready to go. now, their officer, johan rahl, he was known to be celebrating at the home of loyalist abraham hunt. it is likely he had a few drinks at night. was he drunk or hungover the next day? no. were they taken by surprise? yes. there's actually an american john greenwood who says he swears afterwards that not a single hessian was drunk that

he crosses the delaware to go attack, he crosses the delaware back, and then spends a few days in pennsylvania, and then he's going to cross again, back over to set up. of course, he crosses the delaware. so, yes, he goes back and forth, many times. you can imagine that whether, in the middle of december, would have been quite amazing. if you go up to the area today, you will see nearby, our other ferry's in later campaigns, where they go from valley forge to attack the british, more than one year later. washington crosses many rivers, but it is that crossing, on christmas day, that becomes the most important because of the events that have followed in the battle of trenton. >> i think one of the questions for our panel, in the afternoon, that we will have to drop for robin and phil would be, you, and vanessa. can you do a fight club over the southern campaign, or princeton as the most important parts of the revolutionary war. i look forward to seeing the banter back and forth, depending on the answer to that question. >> i have a foot in both ends, and i'm working on a book right now, just ab

in delaware, there are zero weeks of early voting. in texas there are drop locations for absentee ballots. in delaware, well, drop boxes -- well, they are not required. both states require voter i.d., but in his, what, 5,000 plus years represent in the great state of delaware, joe not one time ever voiced any concern whatsoever about his own state's restrictive election laws. never, not once. instead he was too busy saying things like -- well, this. >> madam president, we have predators on our streets. >> the largest growth in population is indian americans. you cannot go to a 7-eleven or a dunkin' donuts unless you have slight indian accent. i'm not joking. >> what kind of a chance would a northeastern liberal like joe biden stand in the south? >> better than anybody else. you don't know my state. my state was a slave state. >> sort of mainstream christian america. articulate and bright and a clean and a nice-looking guy. >> they are going to put you all back in chains. >> we got more questions. >> if you have a problem, figure out w

joe never lifted a finger to make voting more accessible in delaware, and it's not just delaware. wisconsin requires voter i.d., rhode island requires photo i.d., hawaii you have to actually recite your date of birth and address. in oregon, residents who don't vote regularly can be automatically canceled from the voter rolls. in connecticut, minnesota, new york, voters must meet certain requirements in order to vote absentee. unlike georgia. none of these deep blue states are facing a lawsuit from this now-emboldened, weaponized doj of joe biden. not one. clearly the left's hysteria over georgia and now texas has nothing to do at all in any way about civil rights. it is beyond hyperbole. it's destructive. they are playing the race card. oh, this is the worst challenge to our democracy since the civil war. it really? then why, joe, have you never lifted a finger in the decades and decades, frankly centuries, it seems, that you've served your state of delaware. you've never lifted a finger. merrick garland, where is your integrity? why aren't you suing joe's state of delaware that h

they don't have any drop boxes in delaware. you have to provide an excuse to get an absentee ballot, and now i'm watching the doj seemingly being weaponized going after georgia while ignoring the more restrictive state of delaware where joe biden never lifted a finger, to perform and make more accessible voting for the people in the state of delaware. your comments, your observations, how concerned should we be? speak of the evidence shows two things. number one, there's never been a perfect election. jfk's election wasn't perfect, george bush's election was imperfect and the current election wasn't perfect. number two, the evidence seems to strongly suggest that it wasn't stolen and that the outcome was right. there is a big difference between delaware for example and arizona. arizona has native american reservations, and the ease of voting that we all take for granted in the cities of delaware and others aren't so easy in cities like arizona. so there are going to be differences. the supreme court will uphold, i predict it, w

there's a big difference between delaware for example in arizona. arizona has native american reservations and the ease ofe voting that we all take for granted and cities of delaware and others aren't so easy in cities like arizona. so there are going to be differences. the supreme court will uphold, i predict, will uphold voter registration, voter identification and maybe even signature verification. they may not uphold some other issues that have had a disparate impact. we are seeing arguments on the extremes. one side is saying the argument was wrong and the other side is saying evidence was stolen. but we could do better. the goal is to maximize the number of eligible voters to actually come out and vote and minimize and maybe make zero the number of ineligible voters on the number of fraudulent and votes.n we can do that and we can do that without racial disparity and illegal actions. let's get back to that goal. the one in the ap, both in 2008 and 2012, the rate of african-american voter participation exceeded that of white americans in those

as most of the army is moving south, crossing the delaware river, moving into delaware to confront the british eventual landing by ship. he was left behind to keep an eye on the lower hudson river. and northern new jersey. while he is separated he decides to launch an attack against staten island. william how left new york for the philadelphia campaign, he lifted pretty sizeable force behind under the command of william clinton. who's in the picture at the bottom. and sullivan decides to attack a british outpost on staten island. yes, he has some initial success pushing them back. but he also ultimately gets pushed back as clinton rushes reinforcements to the island. they drive him back. sullivan is going to lose about 200 guys in this operation. the grand scheme of things, this is not that big of a deal. but it's another case a bad timing for sullivan because at the same time that congress gets the news of his failure on staten island congress also found out about the fall of fort tire going rogue. on the lower end of lake sham plane. keep in mind the philadelphia campaign is rolling

, texas has 12 days of early voting, delaware has 0 days of early voting. while i pick on delaware? because that is where the president himself voted in the last election. if anybody wants to talk about voter suppression they should talk about delaware, not texas. >> when texas state congresswoman is going to demand what they should do when she actually gets face to face with them here in dc. watch. >> for me it is more so of ask for him to push as hard as he can, the filibuster, we have to do away with it because once again it is republicans being allowed to be obstructionists. >> they fled texas to mommy and daddy in dc and the republicans are obstructionists. please explain that for our viewers tonight. >> one word. hypocrisy. they are using a filibuster to flee the state of texas to plead with the president to do away with the filibuster in washington dc. that is the example of hypocrisy on its face and that is one reason they are losing arguments with regard to voting on this issue and other issues in the state of texas but i want to point this out for

as most of the army is moving south, crossing the delaware river, moving into delaware to confront the british eventual landing in northeast maryland by ship, he had been left behind to keep an eye on the lower hudson river and northern new jersey. while he is separated, he decides to launch an attack against staten island. when william howe left new york on the philadelphia campaign, he left a pretty sizable force behind under the command of william clinton, who is in the picture at the bottom here. sullivan decides to attack a british outpost on staten island. yes, he has some initial success pushing them back, but he ultimately gets pushed back as clinton rushed reenforcements over to the island, and they drive him back. sullivan is going to lose about 200 guys in this operation. in the grand scheme of things, this is not that big a deal, but it's just another case of bad timing for sullivan, because at the same time that congress gets the news of his failure on staten island, congress also found out about the fall of fort ticonderoga on the lower end of lake champlain. keep in mind

again, mostly maryland troops and there are some delaware and canadian troops. many were new to the army. keep in mind the reason it's such a big deal the army was disingenuous graded. one year left in 1776 were expiring and army was bleeding troops through the whole tail end of '76 so when they win the battles, can sd bit of a miracle, and go to morristown up in northern new jersey there wasn't much of the army left. and so they have to spend the entire winter spring, and i would argue right through the summer months of 17 it 37 bringing in recruit forming regimen super brigade new division they're almost army all over again. a lot of the rank and file hadn't served. so who commands the super brigades, one should have been commanded by general william smallwood but smallwood had been detached earlier in the campaign to help raise the maryland militia so he's not at brandywine. i think the senior colonel john stone in the picture here is likely commanding the brigade. i can't 100% prove that but this is my best guess. you're into these details these are the regi

and only they had the skill to cross the delaware river covered with i.c.e. fast flowing a nor'easter that night nothing goes according to plan. all of the other prongs have failed that the marble headers could get the army across and in tact at least one portion and the other three failed. that night behind schedule 12 miles above trenton marching through sleet and snow. much of the army at this point is barefoot literally their tracks are filled with blood in the snow but they push forward. the marble headers are leading the element they push down to that portion of trenton in this is a very important point they capture the bridge along with the garden and set up a series of cannons on the high ground meanwhile the army is attacking and most 18th century engagements armies are both sides battle it out one side is not doing well they retreat that johan had no avenue of retreat things to glover and the indispensable's. they seal the retreat and s the faith of the entire regiment that change the course of history. and from there to sail back across the delawar

why am i picking on delaware? because that is where the president himself voted in the last election. and if anybody wants to talk about voter suppression, they should be talking about delaware, not texas. >> laura: one texas state congresswoman is going to demand something of biden and the democrats do. what they should do when she actually gets face-to-face with them here in d.c. watch. >> for me, it's going to be more so of and ask for him to push as hard as he can. this filibuster -- we have to do away with it because once again, it's republicans being allowed to be obstructionist. >> laura: governor, they fled texas to mommy and daddy and in d.c. and the republicans are obstructionist. please explain that for a view is today. >> one word. hypocrisy. they are using a filibuster to flee the state of texas to plead with the president to do away with the filibuster in washington, d.c. that is the example of hypocrisy on its face. and that's one reason why they are losing arguments with regard to voting on this is

and from there, the army sales back across the delaware thanks to the marblehead men . and it's unfortunately a little bit worse than the trip over because the men had captured the wrong supply and it was a drunken cruise back over and it's some of the men felt over but they captured most of theregiments . they captured a large fan of arms and many cannons and then it sets up a week later, roughly a week later the second battle of trenton. where washington doesn't necessarily want to fight but his hand is forced by a militia group, philadelphia associate others which go over a little bit early without borders and washington decides to reinforce them and they hold a key bridge against all odds . half the marblehead regiment, maybe a little bit more, it's hard to tell stays with washington. the other group is exhausted and they go back to marblehead but that group stays and fights at the battle of princeton and they change the course of history. the 10 crucial days that changed the course of history in these three battles and it's the marbleheaders that are in the four th

bear in mind as well that as we sit here, connecticut and delaware have no early voting. so, it is not that you are going to get sued for whether or not you have early voting. you are going to get sued if you have it and then repeal it. that makes no sense. i would add that some very famous politicians, including the president of the united states, have invoked jim crow. that is in my view and outrageous, outrageous thing to say. at its worst, jim crow involved state government officials colluding with domestic terrorists to murder american citizens. even if you look at the voting angle of jim crow, it involved literacy test that were six pages long and no one on this committee could pass them. it involved all white primaries to determine the winner. it was shocking in its extent, but it has nothing to do with 35 days or 25 days of early voting. it has nothing to do with no out of precinct voting in arizona. it has nothing to do with saying that mail-in ballots after covid have to be connected by a family member or household member or caregiver. we need some perspective i
