jackson's command. and as pope says try to bag jackson, so pope is asking for expediency from his commanders. he's asking for his army. for commanders to move their men quickly to try and get jackson while they still can before jackson gets away. the evening of august 27th after federal troops have recaptured bristow station. pope is going to send out an order to his core commanders specifically to porter to move to bristow station by daylight the next morning and pope tells porter very specifically to begin marching his men at 1am the morning of august 28th to reach bristow station by the time the sun rises later that morning porter in his officers believe that this march would not work and so they decided that it would be better for their men because of traffic jams because of how dark it was at that point. it would be better for their mentally two hours later at 3am instead porter does not inform pope about this, but i will say porter is not the most egregious offender of pope's orders for his army t

according to caroline lowe, the informant told her that he met tony jackson behind bars while jackson was awaiting trial for the rapes. and she says he claimed that jackson told him some chilling information. >> he claimed that tony jackson claimed that he had murdered an anchorwoman and he also had heard him reciting this rap rhyme. >> the informant's name is dennis goff. goff is now deceased, but both he and jackson served time in the ramsey county jail back in 1998. >> the rap that this inmate put together goes as -- "she's a stiffin' around tiffin in a pileage of silage in a bylow low below, off a highway by a grave road." >> tiffin, iowa, is located near iowa city. it's a very small community, very small town. >> tiffin is roughly 161 miles from about where jackson lived, so 322 miles round trip. we found that he bought a car the day before jodi disappeared. >> he put on a lot of miles. is that conclusive? no, but it caught our attention. >> the question became, could this serial rapist have killed jodi huisentruit and are those alleged rap lyrics directions to her body? >> i dec

and truly march when it comes to jackson county, can't realize that i am the president of the united states am i feel like i'm just on your fellow citizens and i see these images and i try to talk to the same people and they included military veterans and business partners, and of course, members of the pendergast political machine in the politics in this town is well known. during the age of the city was controlled by the expanding democratic organization of jackson county, the official name for the machine. and there was an array of business connections including construction contractors, provide financial base from which pendergast political machine entered city county and state politics. and it first the older brother jim and the younger brother tom, pendergast, control the city manager's office and from there the city council. and then the mayor as well as every key office and city hall. there was old fashion politics and although term under estimate the political evidence of the family machine and here in albany, and really this was two decades and reach out to his fellow irish

harry truman would carry jackson county by more than 20,000 votes. aided in large part by the votes of african americans, who were generally pro-machine. that was a fraction of his win total from 1934. but that's still a 20,000-vote margin in a county where anyone or anything associated with the machine was supposed to be dead. i want to keep our focus on pendergast and not spend too much time on the terrorist of truman's biography, but in brief, his second term was far different than his first. like much of the nation, his time was spent in wartime preparation including leading a committee, the unoriginally known truman committee, investigating war and waste and wartime contracts. by 1943, he was a leading liberal in the democratic party, a much-sought-after speaker, perhaps unexpected since he was never a traffic orator, and chief proponent of the wilsonian worldview, especially to a world now at war. and in 1944, he was an increasingly popular choice for vice president. cassie, next slide, please. we'll see here a cartoon describing the departing

-- kitanji jackson is the front winner. tell us a little bit about why you like her so much and whether you have spoken to biden or childs in the past 24 hours, given the prior -- breyer retirement news. rep. clyburn: let me start with the letter part of your question. no, i have not talked to president biden or michelle childs in the last 48 hours, or even the last several days. i can't remember the last time a spoke with michelle. and, of course, i have been talking with president biden for some time now about the united states supreme court. as you know i am the father of three daughters. they are very professional women. they are achievers. none of them are lawyers or interested in the supreme court. from a personal standpoint. but they are women. they are black women, and they have been insulted over the years, like so many other black women. now have five women who have served on the united states up in court. not a single time has a black woman ever been seriously considered. so i took that issue up with then-candida

their day is ending jackson. the men and women of local law enforcement will always be the first line of defense. the front-line officers who feel abandoned cannot be left to their own at -- to their own devices. that is why i have championed an expanded scope of our capital police force to support local law enforcement and to bring peace back to jackson. >> live to washington dc where the nation's governors are gathering for their annual winter meeting.

>> ketanji jackson. no question. she fits all the requirements starting with the most important which is that she's highly qualified. she has been a judge on the district court in washington was recently confirmed. it's the exact same senate that will consider her nomination to the d.c. circuit that will be considering her nomination to the supreme court. nothing has happened in the hand full of months that would disqualify her, so she would be on a glide path to confirmation. she is a former breyer clerk, which has a certain poetry to it just as brett kavanaugh was a former anthony kennedy clerk, whom he replaced. i just think the political and legal logic for ketanji jackson is strong. leo th dra kruger is a possibility. if the president were to get a second nomination i would be very -- i think she would be a very likely choice. when you look at the political, at the academic, when you look at issues, ketanji jackson seems like a very solid pick to be confirmed and serve a long and significant tenure. >> abby, you

collins, murkowski, and graham actually alread voted fory jackson brad in the past -- brown jackson in the past and another that was recently confirmed to the circuit. there is precedent on that. manchin and sinema have been pretty good about voting for biden judges. i don't expect a lot of pushback. i don't -- look, in part because -- i will close with this. if we're talking about the front runners, talking about a brown jackson or cour, credentials are so capable. there is no hint of scandal. i don't think you're going to find out that brown jackson tried to rape anybody in high school. i don't think going to find out that bwn jacksonerjured herself in testimony. we have impeccable credentials. i just don't think there is another for republicans to really come at this person with that is going to make this nomination all that difficult even given our crazy politics even though i would look like an idiot three months from now. amy: even the former house speaker paul ryan is related to ketanji brown jackson. she is back to jackson, the twin brother of the husband of paul ryan's sister-

judge brown-jackson. krueger. she serves on the california supreme court. judge jackson of d.c. court of appeals i believe a biden appointment. michelle childs, u.s. district court in south carolina. leslie abrams gardner serving in georgia. ifill, former naacp legal defense funds. are these the names that you are hearing? >> i think it's fair to acknowledge one stands higher than the others and that's judge ketanji brown jackson. >> there's a growing sense in the senate and i was somebody that felt this way. there's no reason in the world that every supreme court justice has to graduate from yale or harvard. there's plenty of smart lawyers that go to law schools all over this country and something weird that the country has decided there's only two schools that produce supreme court justices so i know there are other senators that felt the way i did about that and might be nice to have a supreme court justice that wasn't harvard or yale and so i think some of those feelings will probably come to the surface as the white house considers who they pick but all are qualified and wi

as you say, this sometimes it's not about janet jackson. i think of that super bowl performance which i think has aged a little differently than maybe people responded to it at the time. but i do want to play something from the documentary about the conversation she talked about having with justin timberlake. >> did you hear from justin? >> uh-huh. >> what did he say? >> we talked once. and he said, you know, i don't know if i should come out and make a statement, and this or that and say something. i said, listen, i don't want any drama for you. they're aiming all of this at me. so i said if i were you i wouldn't say anything. >> what did you think about that? >> i was surprised certainly. but as i thought about it, it made me realize that clearly at the time i don't think she recognized how -- the enormity of what was unfolding and the lasting impact it would have. and i think there was also a bit of an element in what so many women are often taught to do, which is to sort of just bear up and to, you know, sort of take responsibility and
