Debate side. I do occasionally watch the democratic debates, has been we have to sit down and see if we can work out sinceable accommodations. The problem we have with president obama is its impossible to know whatever makes sense and what doesnt because whatever he says polarizes the nation. In his own way, Bernie Sanders is making sense when he says, look, i live in vermont as a socialist. He doesnt support gun controls of a stribblingter nature. Thank you, mr. Martin. In 2013, the senate detected the proposal that would have expanded background check requirements to all gun purchases, including those at gun shoals. Senator shaheen of New Hampshire supported that what would your vote have been . Well, i dont think you need a machine gun to kill a rabbit but i do respect peoples rights to have a gun. You know whats wrong right now with the terrorists going on . None of the press and none of the politicians are asking why so many people in other countries hate us. Now, i was out to cha
Surprise to folks to find it here. John otto was kind of a vagabond in the sense that he didnt have any permanent roots. He was attracted to this area around 1907 by the promise of employment on a water line project. And i guess this was just a type of country that was really appealing to him. And so he began to agitate for the creation of a National Park here. The first thing he did was he wrote a lot of letters to people trying to get this established as a National Park and he also constructed a lot of trails to afford access into the canyons and on to the rims of the monument. Im sure the local people came out on sunday afternoon, they would hitch up the wagon and come out for a picnic and so on. One of the other things he did was in 1926, he started collecting buffalo nickels from the kids in town and used that money to transport a couple of bison in here. He wanted to establish a herd of bison in the monument. The elks club conspired to bring in a couple of elk. John got some mone
The former nfl running back is a descendent of the host former slaves. This program is about an hour. Sucrose, Tomlinson Hill, what make you want to write that go . Well, i grew up knowing about Tomlinson Hill. Ive never been to tomlin sandhill, the grand father would always make, you know, we had a slave called Tomlinson Hill and when the slaves were freed, they loved it so much they took tomlinson as their last name. And as a seven and 8yearold kid in dallas going through desegregation because in 1973, dallas schools were still segregated and there is a court order and so race was very much an important topic at that time in dallas. So i was aware of that as a child and the idea that there were black tomlin and that my family once held as slaves boggles my imagination. And i became an important part of my identity growing up in white, southern culture, having a family that fought in the civil war and handhelds please were part of the antebellum plantation life is a big deal. So, i un
Moments later a guard inside apprehended him. Its absolutely awful that a person can penetrate the residence of the white house. The chaos began just after the president and his daughters left because resources were focused on the president s departure. Because we were so heavy on our resources on the south ground, thats where the majority of resources were. They didnt have the chance to come back north and he was able to get closer than usual. In a statement the agency acknowledged the location of this individuals arrest to the white house is not acceptable to the secret service. This ranks among the most unusual Security Breaches since the salahis managed to access a state dinner in 2009 and when a small private plane crashed into the white house grounds during the Clinton Administration. Fence jumpers arent unusual. Last week a man jumped over, about eight feet. This is the first time anyone can recall someone making it all the way inside the executive mansion. Another man was arres

Host professor Heather Andrea williams, in 1863, what was generally the slave population in the u. S. . Guest probably about 5 million the native American South at that point. Slavery has been abolished in northern states. I think it is important to say that just because many people dont realize there had been slavery in the north. But by the 1820s, it has been abolished in places like new york and massachusetts. Proslavery then continued in the south. There were about 5 million. Host of the 5 million, how many do you think were displaced from their families . Guest it is so difficult for me to speak in terms of numbers. It really is. Part of the point of the work is nobody is keeping track of people. I point out that not everybody experiences, but large numbers. If most of them did or if a third of them d
