On november 15, 2019, i sent an invitation to the ceo of Johnson Johnson, requesting that he appear before our subcommittee to discuss the Public Health concerns regarding j js baby powder.

Eamon javers joins us this morning with the latest. Good morning. Reporter good morning, carl. Its oddly quiet here at the white house today. We dont see Senior Administration officials out here defending the president or making arguments we dont see any events scheduled with the president publicly, other than his departure later on this afternoon. Nonetheless, the president has been venting some of his frustration that we saw boil over in that letter to nancy pelosi yesterday and continues in tweets this morning the president saying can you believe that ill be impeached today by the radical left do nothing democrats and i did nothing wrong. A terrible thing read the transcripts this should never happen to another president again. Say a prayer and, carl, having covered the last impeachment, so far today this day feels very different than the day on which the president president bill clinton was impeached back in the late 1990s on that day, there was a real sense of uncertainty about wh
Who offer perspectives which rarely get a hearing in manhattan ballrooms or progressive caverns. Delivery in the wriston lecture in 1995 that was a huge laugh line are we napping .

[laughter] [applause] this disorder is the consequence of a nationwide effort to roll back successful policies that scholars have spent in their careers advancing. Bill de blasios president ial campaign may have ground to a halt, surprisingly [la
Karen welcome. Thank you all for being here. Before we get started, i just want to tell you that i am so happy to be having this event because we never get to talk about history and historians. We always talk about politics and the law and Foreign Policy. And it is all very interesting. But those of you who know me know that i like the history. And i think it wouldve been a very good thing if more historians were weighing in more frequently and people who write about politics in a historical vein and people who think about whats come before. We dont have enough of it and this is our meager attempt to try to do that. Before we get started, let me just say that this is being recorded by cspan. You know the routine, which means that when you get the mic, speak into the mic, wait for the mic before you speak. And be aware of the fact that its being recorded. So before we get started with our discussion, let me introduce the men to my left. Jim banner who edited the book president ial misco
