Day. Because this is where we are proving that the system where we the voters elect our leaders and we change them when we vote, ato washington, d. C. Are burned when washington is burned in the war of 1812. We lose a lot of the early things. Thats one of the challenges with a building like this, you dont necessarily have all the thing things, but you make due the best you can to give people the sense when they come in to see them of what it looked like when men like James Madison or Young Andrew Jackson were sitting in this room as members of the house of representatives. Were in the Senate Chamber here at Congress Hall in philadelphia. The room as you can see is quite a bit more grand than the house of representatives would have been. Theres a couple of reasons for that. Our roots as a nation go back to when we were british, of course. The british have a parliament with two houses. An upper house, the house of lords, lower house, house of commons. Theres definitely parallels with our
Dedicating his flag to all the other men who are still missing in action or prisoners of war in vietnam. A lot of times veterans, if they want to come see the things that they left, we are always willing to give them a tour and show them around. It also helps us because we can connect specific names, donors to what they left. We have a big barrel that was left. I think it was left in 2002. I am too young to know what it was. But i have been told that in vietnam they used it as a letrine. An unfortunate soldier was given the job of burning it. But they came and they gave us a bit of context about what it was and when they left it and why. So thats really cool. Theres some donors who are still really active and want to see the things that they left. So this, as you may or may not know, is a roll of toilet paper. You may wonder why we have it in our collection. But toilet paper was as good as gold in vietnam, because if you were out in the field and you didnt have any toilet paper, you ha
Takes years into archives, museums, and Historic Sites around the country. Takes usate historian into their hearts on this Office Building. Hart is the83, newest of the Senate Office building. In the hearts and Office Building which is a separate building, there are really two has of the same building but they are entirely different. There standing overlooking essential hearing room which is known as hard to 16. This room was specifically designed for television, and we are in one of the television boots overlooking the hearing room. That the dirksen building was not going to be , they originally thought they would just replicate the dirksen building and build an identical twin on the other side. It wouldnt be sufficient. , the u. S. Senate safed triple in size. Part of that was a result of vietnam and watergate. The executive branch had provided most of the information that congress needed. Once congress felt that they they felttrust them, that they needed their own separate independe
The not know if broker is right word or contested is the right word, but they go in there is the rules work, everybody wedded to the outcome of the timelines on a first ballot. Part of it will depend on what the tally is. If you roll into a convention, and all he needs is 37 and you have got ted cruz, rubio, and case equates are down and john kasich wave down way down, even if he is ahead, it is more muddled. At 800 and somebody at 600, or 500. Muddled, not close enough, then you have a situation particularly because he is an unusual front runner, it could be an interesting convention. We still do not know, in florida and ohio, if he starts winning the winner take all states, he is going to wrap things up. Host some of those winner take all states started to hit. Caller from jacksonville, florida. Go ahead. I am confused this morning and i was listening when he brought up ted cruz eligibility because he was not born in the united dates. He really dismissed that like it is Common Knowle
In philadelphia. What can we expect next week . Reporter i think were at an interesting time in this race. You mentioned that Republican National Convention Meeting in florida, you have two candidates that are mathmaticly eliminated in terms of getting the number of delegates they need before the convention, ted cruz and john kasich. Tomorrow well coff him here in pennsylvania, and ted cruz will be here tomorrow, i want one more word on yesterday. New york primary. They tell us to follow the money, here is what we came up with. Cost per vote. Bernie sanders 6. 8 million on ads. He did not win. 9 a vote. Compare to bottom of screen republican winner donald trump, 13 cents a vote. That is a pretty good deal, maybe it not always about the money, here in pennsylvania, all about delegates, with 71 next tuesday night, handed out state wide. Of the 71, 54 are not bound at the convention, the delegates can go to cleveland and vote for whoever they want, only 17 go to state wide winner, the cam
