She was not happy her husband had been elected president. She never made it to washington. When he resigned, he and his wife and their family moved here to williamsburg. It was here that Letitia Tyler suffered a stroke. John tyler learned he was elected as Vice President of William Perry region William Henry harrison. It is here that he became 10th president of the United States, so she learned she became the first lady. She had another terrible stroke, and her husband goes into morning, and then he meets another young lovely in her 20s. I think of her as the madonna of first ladies. She posed as a model at a time that was frowned upon, by all accounts was bewitching. There were 90 slaves, and they were her supervision. Julia lobbied for her husband, and she supported him tremendously in everything she did. Untimely death, a secret marriage, and outsize personality are stories of the women we examined tonight. Good evening, and welcome to the Season Series of first ladies. William Henr
Individuals like the tsarnaevs is and they do not hit our radar. They do not travel and communicate in the same way learn what they need to learn the internet and become radicalized of the internet. From that perspective, it poses a real challenge. As would brief the threat, overall, i would say it remains persistent. It is increasingly complex and diverse bit and diverse. First of all, always good to be here. Thank you for another great event. I want to commend matt for the great job he has done. But also, i think people should understand modern government. It is a really big deal for a current and former to sit next to each other. A lot about matts confidence as sit next to a guy who can say anything the hell he wants. Glad to keep them close. [laughter] i agree with his assessment of the threat. I would add a couple of small items. We have actually done, wouldve talked about the threats and other places that are terrible in the world. We have to remember how successful the counterte
This morning what the state department knew about the security situation in benghazi before that attack. And what it did after to try to improve security. Chief Congressional Correspondent mike emanuel is live for us on capitol hill. He is is following the hearing today. Hi, there, mike. What is the stone tone and focus so far . Reporter heather i would say serious, businesslike and no sign of fireworks so far. This Bipartisan Panel is taking a look at recommendations that were made following the benghazi terror attack more than two years ago to see how those recommendations are being implemented. Early on chairman trey gowdy tried to set a very serious tone. So to fulfill duties owed to those we serve in honor of those who were killed, maybe just, maybe we can be what those four brave men were, neither republican nor democrat. Just americans. And in pursuit of the facts and justice and, no matter where that journey takes us. Reporter gowdy says he remains hopeful things like this Bipa
Combat boots on the ground in iraq. He also wants to talk about the International Coalition that hes building, im told by white house officials. In the meantime, as you said, carol, the president will be hearing from u. S. Central command leaders first, theyre the ones coordinating the fight against isis and as he arrived in florida, the white house was busy clarifying surprising statements from joint chiefs chairman Martin Dempsey on whether there would be u. S. Combat troops fighting against isis in iraq. Dempsey told the Senate Hearing yesterday that its not the plan at the moment but he added if i found that circumstance evolving i would change my recommendation. Asked about that at the white house, the white house said general dempsey was engaged in hypotheticals and that the president s pledge of no combat boots is no changing but as one official put it, its the president who has the final say and aboard air force one yesterday white house secretary josh ernest told reporters hes

The opposition fighters that we will train care more about overthrowing assads regime than they do about defeating isis. Assad is evil, make no mistake about it. But he is not a threat to america. If the moderate opposition has to choose between defeating assad and defeating isis, why do we believe think about thi
