"While the battle of Lexington and Concord in the last episode was the revolution's first official battle. The battle of bunker hill, as this clash, mostly on breeds hill comes to be known. Was the war's first conventional major engagement. And there's much to note about it. To start, the redcoats won, but with a pyrrhic victory. That is, a victory not worth the cost. To quote general Thomas gage, the loss we have sustained is greater than we can bear. Indeed, the British suffer over 1000 casualties. Nearly 50% of the up to 2500 redcoats in the battle. Those casualties include 92 officers. Among the dead is the major who brandished his sword at Lexington. John picker. Interestingly, the patriot who killed the major may have been a free black man. Either Peter Salem or Salem poor. But be it one or neither of them, Salem poor so impressed colonel William Prescott and other leaders in the battle that they later petitioned the Massachusetts general court to reward him, writing that. Salem horror behaved like an experienced officer, as well as an excellent soldier. We would beg leave to say in the person of this said Negro, centers a brave and gallant soldier. Alas, no honor is bestowed, but this black patriot will yet fight for the cause for years to come. But while the British Army suffered more, patriots paid a price too.

Recently elevated by the Continental Congress to the rank of major general. He nonetheless refused to command and fought to the bitter end inside the redoubt. When general Howe learns that the Doc's death, the British commander pays the deceased patriot a high compliment. This victim was worth 500 of their men. The battle also sees the American Revolution's first patriot Native American death. Samuel Ashbaugh junior the son of a reverend and a member of the mohegan tribe, Samuel fought with Connecticut's third regiment. And sadly, Samuel isn't only the first of many indigenous men to die for the patriot cause. He's the first of many ash bows. By the end of the war, his parents, Samuel senior and Hannah, will see four of their 5 sons die fighting for American independence. Finally, we have to know a mother and her 7 year old son who witnessed the battle from a hill near their home in Braintree, Massachusetts. More than 70 years from now, that child will still vividly recall the pain he felt that day. I saw with my own eyes those fires

"Before sunrise. June 17th, 1775. Over a thousand patriot militiamen are on the Charles town Peninsula, just north of redcoat occupied Boston, and hundreds of them are wielding shovels and pickaxes, or moving stones and barrels, as they furiously work under a dark sky to prepare an earthen fort. Known as a redoubt, on breed's hill. It's a brilliant move. By fortifying this 75 foot tall elevation overnight, these sleepless new englanders are depriving the slower moving British Army of a strategic position. But wait. Breed's hill? The committee of safety specifically instructed the patriot commanders here to fortify the Peninsula's farther back and slightly taller elevation called bunker hill. It's true that patriot cannon could strike British warships from breed's hill. But the British might answer in kind. This is like daring the right codes to attack. Is this a mistake? Or patriot general Israel putnam just being his aggressive self. We'll never know for sure, but his 4 a.m. cons and goes, as British navy men here, then with a rising sun, see the rebels menacingly entrenching themselves on breed's hill, they prepare to respond. From her position in the Charles river's wide mouth, the crew of the 20 gun sloop of war, the HMS lively, opens a cannonade. It continues for hours.

But as the Patriots work in cannonballs fly, general Thomas gage and three new arrivals of Boston. Journals William Howe, Henry Clinton, and John gentleman, Johnny burgoyne, are holding counsel. They soon decide to land troops and run the rebels off the Peninsula. It's now just past 12 noon. 28 barges, transporting some 1500 soldiers under the command of William Howe across in the waters between Boston and the triangularly shaped Charles town Peninsula's eastern corner called Moulton's point. Around one o'clock, they begin splashing out of the barges and organizing. Patriot forces are well entrenched now. The redoubt on breed's hill is strong and militia from Connecticut in New Hampshire are showing up the patriot left Flank behind a stone and rail fence that runs along a beach northeast of breed's hill and below bunker hill. But with several hundred reinforcements still landing, general Howe feels he can take them. He plans to lead elite, light infantry, grenadiers, and two other regiments in an attack on rebels at the stone and rail fence, while Brigadier general Robert Pickett leads three regiments and marines and attacking the redoubt on breed's hill. It's a bold move, but William Howe is a bold man. And after the embarrassment of the British military's retreat from Concord two months ago, it's time to make these rebellious colonials pay. It's now just past 3 p.m.. Tickets wing is advancing uphill through breed's tall grass. House forces are moving along the beach toward the stone and rail fence. The British fire occasional volleys, but the colonials don't fire back. In fact, down at the fence, John stark commands his men to wait until they can see the half Gators on the red coats shins.

Some had only 8 or 9 men a company left, some only three four and 5. From breed's grass covered hill to the beach's stone and rail fence, dead and bleeding British soldiers litter the ground. General Howe's utterly shocked, embarrassed. Pissed off. His entire personal staff is wounded or dead. Even his wine didn't survive. A colonial shot shattered the bottle while in his servant's hands.

His men are eager to their war cries, push on, push on and fight, conquer or die, are heard amid the shots of British cannon. This time, the march in spaced out deep palms to give the Patriots less target. Back in the redoubt, William Prescott and his men are nearly out of ammo. Some are loading shards of glass and rusty nails down their muskets barrels for wanting to fall. They began to hold their shot, waiting until the British troops are within 15 to 20 yards. And then, as with the last two repulsed assaults, they fire with the deadly effect. But that's the last one. As William will later put it, their ammo goes out like a candle. The Americans have nothing left to shoot. They can't repulse the redcoats. British troops swarm into the Patriots fortifications. Williams men swing their muskets by the barrel like clubs. They throw rocks. A valiant effort, but no match against British bayonets. Seeking revenge for their own dead, the redcoats slice and impale the Americans. All while dashing out the brains of others as one British marine later report. The patriot dead stack up within the redoubt. The survivors, including colonel William Prescott, who parries bayonet thrusts with his sword as they retreat, barely get out alive. They do so as the village of Charles town below burns to ash.

"Are reports that ransomware attacks more than doubled between 2019 and 2020. Why the uptick? We asked Cnet's Roger Chang. Well, look, it's cyber attacks have gotten more popular over the years, because, frankly, it's got a lot easier to do. And I think one of the most common form of tax that you're hearing about a lot are ransomware, and that is a particular from the fact that It's particularly annoying for the victim, but it's really easy to pull off for hackers. And I saw that Morgan Stanley also was attacked and, you know, let's not even talk about that pipeline earlier this year. I mean, how how worried should people be? Security should be something that's top of mind for everyone, just having sort of good maintenance and being mindful of your passwords and how you protect your personal data should be a priority for everyone. I don't think anyone should be walking around freaking out about the number of tax that are going on because there are always going to be a tax. But it is good to be mindful of, just, uh How well you're protecting your own information, So part of the responsibility here is not just on companies, but it's also on employees. Absolutely. It's it's a little bit of back and forth. I think it's it's up to the company to arm their employers with the right tools, right knowledge to fight off, So it was really oftentimes. A lot of these attacks happened because You click on the wrong email or you go on the wrong website and the wrong software gets malicious software gets downloaded, and that sets off the attack. So really, it's oftentimes human error that leaves or opens the door for these Attackers. So so again, it's it goes on both ways it really the company needs to educate their employers and employees need to be savvy about what these attacks look like and how they could be exploited. I know that there has been some debate among experts as to whether companies and I guess people as well who get ransomware attacks should they pay or should they not pay? Which side you come down on that? That's a really complicated question. And, you know, I don't want to offer any kind of suggestion as to what companies or individuals should do. I do know that a lot of companies To end up paying, even though law enforcement officials have strongly recommended that you not often times the fastest way to get your business back up and running is to pay the ransom Ware. I think in the in the case of the colonial pipeline hack, they ended up doing that. I believe they worked with law enforcement to get some of the back. But they did pay that rents were initially just to get the systems back up and running. So the bottom line is this is just something that people are going to need to watch out for, and obviously big companies as well. Absolutely. I think bigger companies hospitals at colleges, big organizations with lots of data are oftentimes the most attractive targets for hackers and scammers who used ransomware. So it's a little bit more rare that individuals would get hacked. Because, really, these scammers are reliant on the fact that you desperately need this data to keep your business where your operation running, so you're willing to do what it takes to get that information back. So ransomware is most of Effective when it when it attacks a larger and it's Richard target. Um, so that's That's something being mindful of. That's Roger Chang had seen it. President Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about the cyber attacks. On Friday, Mr Biden talked about the ongoing ransomware attacks by criminals based in Russia, and said that nation needs to take action. Mr Biden also noted that the U. S. Will take any necessary action to defend its people and its critical infrastructure. CBS Stephen Portnoy at the White House, the White House has told us that the president has essentially ordered some of that the the AIDS here in this White House to work with their Russian counterparts at an expert level to talk about. Ransomware and to try to follow up on the kind of commitment that he essentially indicated that he got from Vladimir Putin at their summit in Geneva. And as much as he did get a commitment, really. It was the president issuing something of a warning to Vladimir Putin that Yep. Russians were to be seen as harboring criminals who engage in in ransomware attacks that the US would respond in kind. And you can appreciate the fact that you know if the United States is going to undertake some sort of retaliatory response that we might not necessarily hear about it from the podium here at the White House, there might be some covert actions that the U. S government intends to undertake. Let me pivot to Afghanistan since the president made a pretty huge announcement about the nation's longest war. Well, the president adjusted the target date for the removal of all American troops from Afghanistan. He had said it was going to happen by the 9 11 anniversary Now, he says, going to happen by August 31st. But for all intents and purposes, the U. S drawdown from Afghanistan is very nearly complete. The US left Bagram air base in recent weeks. And whatever force remains is small and will dwindle. What's interesting is that the president announced that he would be working to evacuate thousands of Translators, interpreters who worked with American forces and the families of the translators and interpreters and work to get them out of Afghanistan before the end of August, And that is a very large project that the U. S government is going to have to undertake. And what's interesting is all of these people are entitled to Or would be entitled to special immigrant visas. The problem is that's a slow, Yeah, a process that requires careful consideration for each applicant. And so what the U. S is going to do is send These people to a third country. We don't know which one or which ones while they wait for that visa to be approved, But the point is that the United States government is going to be working to evacuate thousands of people because they truly feel fear for their lives. With the Taliban, continuing to claim more The areas in Afghanistan on Thursday this week, the president said that it's not his view that a Taliban takeover of Afghanistan is inevitably pointed to the size of the Afghan Military that they have 300,000 troops, which he said were equipped as well as any army in the world. The president also essentially shrugged off The intelligence community communities view that the the Afghanistan government might fall in just a matter of months, if not a couple of years after the US withdrawal, the president said. It's not true. He doesn't believe that he says it's his view that the Afghanistan government could sustain if It can coexist with the Taliban. He talks about the idea that perhaps they will have to figure out a way to share power in the country. And the only question the president poses is whether they can have the cohesion as he calls it to do it.

And it is, to a certain extent the once again Biden is going to be able to do this very quickly. He's able to send out a message but the same point.

Here's the thing, John When he mentions these random studies and these random things. They're real and they are actually appropriate for the conversation we're having When Tom mentions beef. The first thing I would do is just go to the particular statement from the White House this morning and search for the word beef, And here we go. So let me add some meat on the bones talking about some cute four large meat packing companies dominate over 80% of the beef market, and over the last five years, farmers share of the price of beef has dropped by more than a quarter. From 51.5% to 37.3. While the price of beef has risen, Tom That's just a little example of the things they're trying to get at in this economy. It's a stunning document. I really have to say it is a compendium John of maybe under President Trump would have been 15 executive orders. All in one all laid out with immense precision. And as you say, John paragraph to paragraph, immense anecdote that is just one anecdote. But the broader story is clear. That leads to that one anecdote remains consolidation, and they're not a big fan of it, not a big fan of it at all. They basically make the case here that it has had not only harm consumers, but you see in this document, he talks a lot about how it's potentially harmed. Workers, the idea of people being able to switch jobs and facing non compete agreements or sweet, uh, facing issues with the mobility of their licenses from one state to the next, the idea of more right to organize rules. It will be interesting to see whether what the follow through is here. And, more importantly, what kind of pushback you get a little bit harder to lobby regulation versus legislation, But I'm sure some of these industries are going to push back and push back on Jonah. They're gonna legislate Amazon Prime It's over. You know, it's a little like the growths can remain from this morning as well. Look, t k. We have to talk about the labor market or this as well.

The British are coming. My first question is, Did he ever say that? Probably not, Uh, if he Here's here's why, Um, the American colonists saw themselves as being British subjects. Oh, right. The British are coming would not have been a would not clearly communicate. But in fact what's happening? He may have said if he first I don't know if he shouted very loudly because there were British in the area, but he may have said the regulars are coming. Or perhaps the red coats are coming, right? I don't I don't. He didn't say the British are coming that that would not have been clear to columnist at that time. How funny. Yeah, And so, as I said, when I went to Paul Revere's house on the Freedom Trail in Boston, I was they had a lot of information about the famous right. Of course, they had the poem posted there. But then they also talked about some of the real events. And I was shocked to to learn for the first time that not only what was Paul Revere not the only writer, but there were two other writers. Yes, Yes, there were, um William dots. And a man by the name of, uh, Samuel Prescott. Um, and basically what happened? They were, uh, let me can I give a little explanation of a Boston? Yeah, sure. Okay. Boston to kind of a peninsula that sticks out and it's surrounded by water on three sites. Right on the on the East side. You have the Atlantic. The West side. You have the mouth of the Charles River. Um, so on the other side of the child's river, That's where Paul Revere and William Dogs were positioned. Um, here's they they have the signal from at the old North Church, because that was the highest elevation in Boston. And basically what they what happened. Is that the the governor of or the governor of, uh, Massachusetts General Thomas Cage. He received instructions from London, Uh to siege, American colonial weapons and gunpowder that an ammunition that was being startup and Concord, Concord is about note at most 20 miles from Boston. Um The spy system was very, very good for the American College. They're always watching the British soldiers. We've always had a good spy system, huh? Yeah, we have. We have had a pretty good spy system. What they didn't know is how would the British soldiers bit to conquer art? Um Would they cross the Charles River? Or would they go take a land route? And this should be the more southern route going, uh, around by land along what is called the Boston neck. What they're going to do both routes in northern Southern route, uh, will meet up together before they get to Lexington. And then eventually they go all the way to conquer hurt. Now Lexington is about 12.5 miles from Boston. Um so revere. Uh, yes. On one side of the Charles River, and I'm on the same side further south is yes, William Dodge. And what happens, of course, is that on the Belfry of the old North Church When they see the British leaving, they go by water, they crossed the Charles River. So the old saying one if by Land two if by sea true lanterns than are hung at the belfry of the old in our church, and that's when Paul Revere begins. His ride draws also rides and they meet together just before getting to Washington. They were supposed to worn Sam Adams and John Hancock at election too, and that they may be taken into custody by the British troops. Now some people think that that was intelligence that the columnist Scott that was false. Okay, but they did They were they were staying there, uh, in in the minister's home in Lexington, and they did warn the two of them that the British make may take them into custody. What happened? And Sam Adams was just having a beer at the time, right? Maybe he was brewing at the time you go. There you go. Oh, yeah, And so, but they were, but they weren't but they weren't kidnapped. Well, yes. Yeah, After after election to none outside, they start heading toward Concord. Uh, British forces did capture Paul Revere. So Paul revere that has taken back For questioning. What happened then to William dos is that he fell off of his horse and had to walk back to election tents. Now there was a third person who joined them. A young man by the name is Samuel Prescott, who was a physician. And Prescott was the one who made its election tonight. Oh, wow, to me made it to Concord, and he was the one who told him that the British are coming to confiscate shock piles of Wow. So it's actually so Actually, Dr Prescott was the one that actually got through Paul Revere. Even didn't even make it. No, he didn't make it to Concord. Now what's he didn't make it to Paco. Well, I'll tell you, you know, but Longfellow popularizes Paul Revere in the poem that he wrote in the mid 1800, right? Yeah, Unbelievable. And so here we are. We've learned this mostly most. I mean, look at these facts that you gave us today completely. For the most part, people do not know that whatever we know about was due to the poetic pen of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow more than the history books. It's really amazing when you When you look at that. Well, brother, John, I appreciate your time. I do have to run. But I just want to thank you. Not only for taking time today on July 4th, and I'm sure it's a history teacher. This is a fun day for you. But I really want to express to you that when I was a senior in high school, I took your history class. It was one of my favorites. You really made history come alive to me, and I always remember that class. I remember you and you really have helped influence me to go out and and learn about history and actually encounter it and see it in person. So I just want to say thank you so much. Thank you, Jim.

And I'm traveling alone in a big car, and I got a little nervous because it was 3 30 in the morning. And I was close proximity to the edge of the road.

"Do you think they called the Uncle's festers Show on CNN, The left wing. Media critic. Do you think they do that? Because he's no more right wing Lou Dobbs than Uncle Fester is left wing. Then then, uh, don lemon is left wing than McGill. A gorilla Fredo Cuomo is left wing. On Dhere is a moron who, In fact, everybody I just listed is a moron. Come to think of it, and they're left wing mornings. It's like the Woody Allen thing we played on Friday. I'm a bigot but for the left, so it's okay. Yeah. And that's that's the thing of these people, but they don't know they don't of course, even though they are old Lou Dobbs, right Wing talk show host. OK, How about Jim Shu Tau? CNN anchor slash Obama administration official Or Jake Tapper. CNN anchors slash former Democrat Hill staffer Frothy Trump hater. Lou Dobbs. Tonight is off the air. Effective immediately. A Fox spokesperson confirmed to CNN and interim show will take. Dobbs plays at five and 7 P.m. Eastern, starting Monday. That's today. It was a head scratching change by Fox business since Dob was the highest rated host, albeit on a relatively low rated network still higher than CNN almost all the time, he often doubled his lead in ratings, which is a rare feat in television and doesn't happen at CNN. Ah, there, you know, they're they're not the highest rated the Cartoon Network beat CNN on a regular basis. And it's better and often more informative. As a matter of fact, Dobbs veteran financial news anchor became known Fox News for his sick of pathetic pro trump programs. This is CNN, which became known for their jihad against President Trump and all of his tens of millions of supporters on really you guys should have scimitars and turbans. You should smell like the Middle East years that jihadi honestly and here's the reality on CNN does not to report anything. Start. Just jump to the chase. It looks like Lou Dobbs and others at CNN are likely in the crosshairs of Dominion, The Dominion Voting Machine Corporation, which has taken to go around going around suing people. And apparently there were suing, I think for $2.7 billion and the Dominion people And the various companies, Smartmatic. Um on Thursday, Dobbs was named in a $2.7 billion lawsuit, and this one was filed by Smartmatic and it's filed against a bunch of people who are who are talking about the fraud on Election Day irregularities. The all of the unusual activities on election Day and beyond. And S O. They're suing because people are naming the Smartmatic people they're naming. The Dominion people and other voting machine makers. And and also, there was this piece. I guess it aired on one America. I know it aired on one American news Network away and then or O A N, and it is a my clindell documentary, right? I think I have some stories on this here. Somewhere for myself. It is a is a documentary that my clindell produced. He's the my pillow guy and an ally of President Trump, and he put together a documentary I watched actually this morning. My friend Jeff was nudging me over the weekend, my friend Dodger, Roger nudging me over the weekend to watch it. I watch. I got up way too early this morning and started watching it for I am And it's about two hours long, and I got through all I actually made it to the end. But I did miss about 15 minutes in the second hour. Um And and he names and in the documentary they named Smartmatic and Dominion, and they name other voting cos they weren't used in Texas. But there's another voting machine company that operated voting machines in Texas, which was also called into question by the by the documentary. Now the people away and had a disclaimer that you don't see the likes of very often where they said we have nothing to do with this. This is paid advertising time. My Quindel says what he wants because we believe in free speech, which the Democrats don't And most the media don't But we, uh uh, in the documentary. I'd say it is a bundling of the accusations that have been made on and and honestly what I saw. I didn't see any new ground broken. I saw a said he's called it 100% proof. And, honestly, I wouldn't say that this documentary provides what you would call 100% proof. You know, I'd say that was provided, Like in the O. J trial, there was pretty much 100% proof. In the O. J trial. What with the DNI, A and the gloves, one glove here, one glove there. The bloody footprints. The Bruno Mali shoes the gloves bought at the store in New York. And I mean, that was that was really, really convincing. Very, very convincing. And still OJ's Freeman fact he got his Wuhan shot last week. I think And we talked about that white woman stabs O J. Simpson. You know those little joke headline. They're pretty funny stuff. But I did watch almost all of it and missed only, you know, a piece of it in the in the center of the second hour. And I, you know, I would tell, you know. Is it 100% proof? I would say no, Quite honestly. No, it didn't provide 100% proof. It provided a bundling of evidence that has been collected on there were some guests on the on the show that was a colonel Phil Waldron. They spelled his name wrong when they found to them. Always. You know, I'm not a good sign Colonel's five p h I, Waldron and as a former, I guess Army Colonel and his information operations guy I owe guy. On Okay on that note. It looks like evidence it does. That's going to have to go to court before that's proven because print outs with a bunch of numbers on it on an Internet thing, or whatever. Doesn't convince me. I mean again. Mike Lyndall was not a journalist. He doesn't have a journalistic background. He's not a journalistic and investigative journalist. You don't have that back. He's not an investigator investigator outside of journalism. He doesn't have that background. He's not a lawyer so he doesn't have that background. And he's not a tech guy, so he doesn't have any of that background. But he's an ally of the president. He put together all of the or a great deal of the evidence that has been collected by throwing some affidavits. Um, some of which you're like, you know, an anonymous person at the embassy in Rome. Uh and you know you can't have anonymous and things we've already heard and bundled the thing If you're going to you need to slap it on the table like a piece of meat. It's got to be has got to be audible when it hits the table. It's got to be so convincing. If you're going to say I've got 1% proof these words have meaning 100% proof. Then you've got to have 100% proof, and I watched it and I didn't see 100% proof. I saw a collection of a great deal of evidence that has been collected and I saw allegations and and some new allegations. I start some new allegations to be sure. On like General Thomas McInerney is one of the people speaking and I know General McInerney have great respect for General McInerney. I like him, and I trust him and I and I believe him. But I think that there are a lot of problems with some of these. You know, Germany and special forces and the server and Italy and testimony. If all of that, where something that could be pulled together, I just kind of think that it would have been by now. And when I saw yesterday was was a reconstitution of a great deal of what of what I've already read and seen and heard, but it didn't move. The argument. I don't think So so there's that I just don't think that it moved the argument. I don't think it changed anybody's mind. And I'm talking to my friend Jeff over the weekend. I said, Listen, it was 100% proof. Then George Stephanopoulos can no longer deny it without looking like an idiot..

Now the RV wasn't the epicenter of the explosion. There was explosion and that incinerated the RV. Again. If people would just text that number. They can see it themselves. So I could tell you it wasn't a lone bomber who was suffering from depression. Who decided that it wasn't that now? What was it? I don't know what it was.

I'm saying that General Mack Canary has 407 successful missions when serving in Vietnam and I have zero successful mission serving in any war at all, Because I'm a week I'm a weak human who's enjoyed freedoms. But this guy General McInerney, he's legit. I mean, what reason would a guy at his age have to hop on a the still truth dot com show into a lie about having Nancy Pelosi's laptop? I mean, it would make me so I'm going to side with General McInerney. I could just tell you something's going on.

What's gonna happen in 22 with the house of Representatives? We have a shot taking the Mac. Yeah, I think if you were betting it, but we do for two reasons.

"Get ready to have a great coast to coast program for you tonight. Here's what's happening. Truly unbelievable. The House of Representatives have made history by voting. To impeach President Donald Trump for a second time, this time for incitement of insurrection, they say, after a mob of his supporters besieged the capital, they say. January 6th and a failed attempt to stop the certification of President elect Joe Biden's electoral College win. House voted 232 to 1 97 to impeach the president 10 Republicans joined with the Democrats. President Trump has just one week left in office. But the supporters of the impeachment push Say that the president is too dangerous to stay in office for a minute longer. The impeachment resolution condemns the president for spreading what they say are lies. That he won the election and landslide and whipping up a crowd of supporters in Washington, D C before the riot that killed five people, including a Capitol police officer. Now the trial will go to the Senate. Eventually, even after President Trump may have left office, so this may not get done. By the time Joe Biden is inaugurated and sworn in. Let's check in with Howard Blume. Howard just wants going on. My gosh, we're absolutely crucial point in American history. It's one of the biggest choice point since the Civil War. You know, you just said President Donald Trump has become the first president in American history to be impeached Choice and 10 Republicans voted against him. Republican Mike Huckabee called the impeachment a lynching. Georgia Congresswoman Mercury Taylor. Greene said she would file articles of impeachment against Joe Biden on January 21st. But Senate leader Mitch McConnell told sources the president Trump had committed impeachable offenses. The McConnell hope this second impeachment would help the Republican Party rid itself of Trumpism. But here are the four big questions left by the impeachment number one. We're gonna have another insurrection between January 17th in the inauguration of Joe Biden on January 20th. Will it be what Trump supporters on a Chan are calling for an armed uprising that makes the invasion of the Capitol building on January 6th? Look like a tea party. Even worse. Are we gonna have what the right wing militia movement has been aching for? For 40 years? A new Civil War question Number two. Will President Donald Trump use a military assault against a foreign nation in the next seven days to shake things up so he could stay in power? Will he use nuclear weapons, perhaps on the nuclear facilities? In Iran. Number three Will Donald Trump do what General Michael Flynn and Lieutenant General Thomas McKenna Ernie have been urging him to do well? He invoked martial law declared state of emergency and used the insurrection Activate, you know seven to stay in power will instruct the military to run the election over again. And will he re run his 60 election fraud court cases? Military tribunals. Then will trump jail his political opponents, accusing them of orchestrating fraud and question number four, which faction will end up in control of the Republican Party. The Trump is like Jim Jordan or the institutionalist like Mitch McConnell and Mitt Romney. It appears that Donald Trump has done two things No previous modern president Has managed to achieve or has even wanted to. He seems to have pulled together the nation's more than 165 militia movements as a unified whole, he appears to have given them a common cause, and he appears to have given them a common philosophy. The philosophy of killing on Movement that says the world is being taken over by conspiracy of child raping Satan worshiping globalists backed by George Soros, a worldwide so called criminal mafia. That includes everyone from Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi. To in all probability, me Ah Mafia on Lee, One man on Planet Earth can defeat President Donald Trump Trump skewered on and militia followers. Say that we are at war of the January 6th insurrection was just the opening battle and that President Trump is we're seeing every move. These dedicated trumpets have declared the President Trump is a seven dimensional chess player. And that he will signal when the time is right to arise. What's worse, some of Trump's evangelical militia and cue announce supporters believe that an all out war will usher in 1000 Year, Kingdom of Christ. This may be why late this afternoon, FBI Director Christopher Wray and acting United States Citizenship and Immigration Services director Ken Cuccinelli held a 45 minute phone call with police chiefs nationwide, warning them to be on the lookout for trouble from now until the January 20th inauguration. So the next seven days Could determine literally the future of our constitutional system, the future of our democracy and the future of U and me, Howard. Let's pray for our nation and I also believe there's no question that some of those rioters on January 6th were people who were planted there. Bad actors who were sent in to cause all kinds of problems and everything got mixed in. But let's pray for our nation folks and let's hope everything goes smoothly. My gut tells me that President Donald Trump will go quietly. We shall see the U. S reported a single day high in Corona virus death this week with John Hopkins University, tallying 4327 fatalities on Tuesday. Number brings the country's cumulative death toll toe over 380,000. Senate Democrats plan to make another coronavirus relief package, including sending an additional stimulus payment. Too many Americans one of their top priorities for the year. Once they assume control of the chamber. They want to get it up to those $2000 checks. Anything helps right now. U. S. Consumer prices increased solidly in December amid a surge in the cost of gasoline. The underlying inflation remained tame is the economy battled the ravaging covert 19 pandemic that has weighed on the labor market and services industry? Let's check in with registered investment adviser Miss Shed lock This your take on the economic front these days. A lot of issues there.

Examine the city pal Alexander Alexander allegation that the voting machines were manipulated, can find any cooperation. In fact, Now she's being sued for defamation by the Dominion voting people. I checked out the allegation made by Lieutenant General Thomas McInerney that there was something called Hammering scorecard programs that were created by the intelligence community that members of the Biden campaign that somehow gotten ahold of and used it to manipulate the election results. Couldn't find any proof of that. Looked at the allegation that were made about Georgia. There were some irregularities, to be sure, but not enough to, in my opinion, invalidate the Georgia election, and of all of the Republicans elected statewide in Georgia and every single statewide Medical office in George's held by Republican. None of them believed that the Allegations were sufficient to overturn the election. And every single one of the members of the Georgia Board of Elections. Is a Republican, except for one None of the Republicans believe that the election was conducted in such a way that the result the official result should be tossed out. That is why I said That while I think it's worth Letting the 17 some million people who voted for Donald Trump. No That it has been examined, explored investigated. In order to give them confidence. Confidence that while their guy lost, he lost fair and square. I think that's valid. But I said the idea that somehow some way These Democrats in the house and in the Senate. Be convinced. And even Republicans. Enough shenanigans, irregularities and lawlessness. Lawlessness took place such as the election will be overturned. I said that there was a fallacy not gonna happen. Now to me. It was entirely predicted that predictable that some number of that group I'll be so angry for whatever reason. That they might resort to violence. Which is why it is so. Confusing why the Capitol Hill Police and the Metro Hill in the Metro Police in DC weren't ready. To say that Donald Trump ought to be impeached because he gave a speech that inside it Insurrection. When the man said that We should march peacefully and patriotic Lee to make our voices heard. Never heard of the First Amendment. I know you hate his guts. I know you think he's a racist. Believe me, Even Donald Trump is entitled. The First Amendment. How many times Has Kamila Harris tweeted about black lives matter. In a positive way. Group that assert to falsely But the police are engaging. In the use of deadly force. Against blacks just because they're black. Candy zones. Interviewed a Black professor named Marc Lamont Hill hard lefty. And she got him to concede that the data do not show that the police are killing blacks. Just because you're black. He conceded it. He then said, But The police or more likely to use non deadly non lethal force against blacks. Now the Harvard professor, to whom I have referred Who study found that police are more hesitant where we're lucky to pull the trigger against white people did find The police were 18% more likely to use non deadly force against blacks. Gets white. You think that's why the people out in the streets? The Washington Post article found research going back. Decades. Police three times more hesitant three times more reluctant to pull the trigger against a black suspect than a white suspect three times Yeah. Take the people in the streets right now. Protesting. Are aware There are a lot of studies that show the police three times more hesitant to pull the trigger against black person. And quote on Lee. Close quote 18% more likely to use non deadly force I say only because If it is true, and it is The young black man is anywhere from 8 to 10 times more likely to be a victim of a homicide. Then, doesn't it make sense that the police would be more likely to use Disproportionate force. Gets a group that is disappointingly engaging. In crime. Why is that so difficult? The cops don't want to use deadly force, so they're trying to use force so they don't have to get there. Supreme Court has rejected the Trump plea to expedite his election appeals. Unsigned order. Supreme Court without comment decline Expedite more than a half dozen cases seeking to overturn the election. Including in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. By leaving them on the regular counter. That means Trump's appeals. Will not be considered..

The rider was lost for want of a writer the message was lost for want of the message the battle was lost for want of a battle, the kingdom was lost. Small things can have reverberating effects on history both good and bad. In fourteen fifty three, the great walled city of Constantinople fell it had withstood sieges for eleven hundred years. It had held off fire from the then state of the art cannons for weeks. The Byzantine said even Ford soldiers trying to tunnel under the wall autumn Turks were finally able to overrun the great city because someone left the door open. One of the many gates in the fourteen miles of wall had been left open during the night and the Ottomans flooded in. Killing Constantine the eleventh in the battle and bringing an end to the eastern Roman Empire. My Name's Moxy and this is your brain on facts. It was a freezing Christmas night in Trenton. New Jersey during the revolutionary war. The English Colonel Johann Gottlieb Rall. Commander. Of a mercenary infantry regiment of fourteen hundred has seen soldiers from Germany sat down to a good supper and an evening of entertainment. He and his men were celebrating their recent victories over George Washington's volunteer army, and of course, the Christmas holiday. Safe from the bitter cold and the pelting sleet inside a wealthy merchants home that they had commandeered. They relaxed safe in the assumption that no one in their right mind would possibly try to cross the Delaware River at night in a blinding winter storm. Someone challenged role to a game of chess, and before long he was deep in tactics and strategy. There was a knock at the door. And exhausted young. Messenger boy came in bearing a note from loyalist farmer. It's important to remember that about a third of colonists still consider themselves to be British and didn't want the revolution. Raw paid the boy little notice took the note and put it in his coat pocket without opening it. That pocketed piece of paper would cost him and the war effort nearly. Two hours earlier and ten miles away. Washington's men had begun being ferried across the icy Delaware. River. It took over ten hours to get all twenty four hundred men over to the New Jersey side. The conditions were so adverse five men froze to death. Then began the arduous march to Trenton in the dark. The plan had been to attack the town from all sides before dawn, but the troops didn't arrive until eight am. During the attack which lasted only an hour forty of the German. Henson's were killed and the remaining thousand surrendered. Colonel was mortally wounded. When his body was found the unopened note warning of Washington's crossing was still in his pocket. If role had read it, he would surely have had his gross of professional soldiers prepared. He allowed his pride and the weather to lull him into thinking his enemy was not a threat. Had he won the battle he may well have killed George Washington James Madison James Monroe John Marshall Aaron Burr and Andrew. Hamilton The. Second, most common premise in alternate history circles behind what if Germany won World War Two is what if the south one the American civil war? Two pieces of paper dropped in a farmer's field almost brought that about. Confederate General Robert E. Lee. Whose statue in the middle of my hometown of Richmond, Virginia has recently been given the historical context. It's so sorely needed. In the form of tons of. Graffiti. Issued Special Order one ninety one during the Maryland campaign before the Battle of Antietam. In the order lead divided his army, delineating the routes and roads to be taken and the timing for the units to reconvene. Adjutant Robert H Chilton penned copies of the letter endorsed them in Lee's name. Staff. Officers distributed the copies to various confederate generals. General Thomas Stonewall Jackson in turn copied the document for one of his subordinates, major general, D H Hill who was to exercise independent command as the rearguard. A Union soldier Corporal Barton W Mitchell of the twenty seven. Th Indiana volunteers found two pieces of paper bundled with three cigars as he marched across a farm in Maryland an area recently vacated by Hill and his men after they had camped there. The order provided the Union army with valuable information, concerning the army of Northern Virginia's movements and campaign plans. Upon receiving lease lost order. Major General George McClellan leading the Union army of the Potomac proclaimed. Here is a piece of paper with which if I cannot whip Bob Ely, I will be willing to go home. He immediately moved his army in hopes of foiling lease battle plans. When Lee heard a copy of special order one, ninety, one was missing he. He knew his scattered army was vulnerable and rushed to reunite his units Antietam Creek near Sharp's Berg. Lee's troops arrived tired hungry and many were sick. The Battle of Antietam, would go down as the bloodiest battle of the American civil war with casualties recorded as twenty, three, thousand dead wounded, which was usually as good as dead or unaccounted for over the course of the half day battle. That's nearly two thousand soldiers in our one every two seconds. When night fell both sides ceased fire together, their dead and wounded. The next day Lee began the painstaking job of moving his ravage troops back Virginia. Here, some scholars argue another solitary decision had far reaching consequences. Despite having the advantage. McClellan. Allowed Lee to retreat without resistance. From his point of view, he'd accomplished his mission by forcing Lee's troops from Maryland and preventing confederate win on union soil. President, Lincoln however thought McClellan missed a great opportunity to potentially end the war three years earlier than it ultimately would.

Trump's a 'subject' and not a 'target' of the Mueller probe? The White House shouldn't celebrate yet
"China hits back at the US on tariffs and stocks. Take a nosedive plus Robert Muller may not see the president as a target and his Russia probe, but sources say he is still more than a witness and the White House tries to clarify Trump's strategy on Syria. This is the state of American night. We tend to get along with China, but we have to do something very substantial about the trade deficit, the White House's show in leadership here we don't have fair trade with China. China may be targeting the demographic that has voted for the current administration. It is going to the country and specifically where the president has done. Well, he campaigned on this all those good farmers in the mid west who voted for Donald Trump and now we're getting hammered. Sorry. Hello, I'm John Avalon live in New York, and this is the state of America tonight. Not for man who loves to take credit when stock surge. The past few weeks have been pretty brutal for President Trump. The Dow is battling back from a sharp decline after China, retaliated against recent US, tariffs and fears of trade war intensified. China slapping a twenty five percent tariff on US goods, including soybeans, planes cars and chemicals. But just yesterday, the president said, ties between the two countries are strong. Relationship is very good with China, and we intend to keep it that way. But we have to do something to seriously relieve that trade deficit. We can't have five hundred billion dollar a year trade deficit, and just this morning, the president pushed back on any concerns declaring that the US is not in a trade war with China, but a check of his Twitter feed shows that even if it were president wouldn't be too worried. Here's what he wrote in early March quote, one country USA is losing many billions of dollars on trade with virtually every country does business with trade wars are good and easy to win. Well, time will tell if the president's business acumen proves right on that one, but there's another critical foreign policy issue that's top of mind for the White House. Today I'm talking about Syria. Remember when president said this last week. We're not going to hell out of ISIS. We'll become an at Assyria like very soon let the other people take care of it. Now. Now that unexpected announcement stunned members of Trump's staff who were left scrambling to figure out his strategy. Well, today we all got a little clarity. A senior administration official says, President Trump will keep troops in Syria for the short term, but totals national security team. He wants them to leave soon. And that comes after top commanders told Trump that the battle against ISIS has not yet been one at least one former army. General says, the number of troops could actually increase in the short run. You might see a slight uptick too because that's what general Bootle has asked for along with General Thomas, they know that the toughest part of the fight is after the fights over when you're trying to stabilize the communities. I think many people have been recommending that to the president. Now to subject the president has been surprisingly silent on today, at least on social media. And that's the Russia probe President. Trump's lawyers have been told that he is not a target and brought Miller special counsel investigation. That's according to sources familiar with recent conversations. But those sources also say the president is viewed as more than a witness, meaning that the president could be the subject of an investigation. And that's why it CNN's chief legal analyst says that Trump shouldn't be breaking out the champagne just yet. Trump is a subject and I don't think that's particularly good news for him. I mean, it's a big deal to be under criminal investigation by the FBI, particularly if you're president of the United States being a subject is a very serious thing. That means the prosecutors are determining whether to file charges against you. Got that. Well, here's how prominent Republican congressman Trey Goudy a former federal prosecutor summed up the crucial differences. I don't think those terms target versus subject. The only word that matters to me that criminal Justice system is defend. One witness can take you from being a subject to a target and and unless and until you've interviewed everyone and looked at everything, no one has been implicated, and no one has been exculpated who went on to say that when it comes to Moore's desire to speak one on one with the President. Mr Trump should comply. I would tell you if you did not rob the Bank, there's no reason for you not to sit down and talk to the FBI about the Bank robbery. If you have nothing to hide, sit down assuming a fair prosecutor, a fair prosecutor, and I think more is sit down and tell him what you know. Sage advice. Well, now for more on that roller coaster ride for stocks, I'm joined by CNN money editor at large and host of quest means business. Richard quest, Richard, the markets are clearly rattled, but they are off their lows for the session. Is that a sign that investors think cooler heads will prevail and that a potential trade war between China and the US might be avoided? No, no. That's a toll the situation. I think the markets are off the lows because they probably just thought it was over done this morning. And maybe when you look at the total situation in might not be as bleak as people thought, but anybody who, for one second believes that if these tariffs come into effect in sixty days time and the monkey wouldn't fall out of bed is deluding themselves. The reality is that the market is hoping praying that these tariffs don't come into effect. The Boeing is still being beaten up by two percent. Caterpillar has been beaten up as well. You've still got the president attacking Amazon. You've got three, I'm shares all down and you have a situation whereby the president tweets that it's not a war because they've already lost. But he has to send his new economic advisor chairman of economic council, Larry cudlow. He has to send him out to modify them all kids. I'm glad you mentioned that. I'm glad you mentioned because we've got a clip of Mr. Kudlow that I'd like to play for folks and get your reaction because he says, it's all big, misunderstand it. I would take the president search -ly on this tariff issue. They're carrots and sticks, but he is alternately free trader said that too. Publicly. So he wants to solve this about pain. He is ultimately free trader. This is just a bit gamesmanship. Why can't we get that Richard. We call get because there's always the possibility of not happening. If John, if this is all a massive negotiation strategy that's being done in the full glass of public and then so be it, then we will all find out in three weeks, full weeks, five weeks time that that sold at walls and it's. Well rally back up again. However, if this turns out to be an accident waiting to happen, then you've got, you've got to be ready for that. And that's what gets you can't play with dynamite on simply say, well, we didn't really expect it to blow up in faces. There is always the risk that the other side does something unpredictable which they haven't by the way the other side. So fall China has been absolutely predictable how moderate in its response. The reality is if the administration in Washington that now has to say what its policy is a, what it will do next, if John on this, if they manage to take contain it to the sanctions and tariffs announce. So everything's fair enough. But if we still getting into mine's bigger than y'all's than when teachable sage advice about not playing from economic dynamite from Richard quest. Thank you. My friend. We'll see what happens. Now when the state of America returns, we're gonna be talking trade wars and how China's proposed tariffs just might hit President Trump's face the hardest stay with. The
