emma willard, anyone? troy, new york. no? a shame, a shame. so emma willard. this is great actually because i expected that, and i want to introduce you to emma willard. so who was she? she was this very innovative teacher, school founder, proponent of women's education, and textbook writer. she was so famous in her own day -- first of all, the textbooks that she wrote sold over a million copies which is a good payday, right. so even though she founded this school in troy, new york, right near albany, today called the emma willard school, it still exists, very good school. what she became most known for were her textbooks. the history of the united states was reprinted 53 times over 45 years and translated into german and spanish. she was so well-known that when she died in 1870, her death was reported. she had on, bit weavers in baltimore, brooklyn, boston, charleston, chicago, new york, philadelphia, san francisco, and several other cities and towns. everybody knew emma willard. her ideas for female education, she wrote this plan for female education which s

he fell deeply in love with high chiefess emma naiah of the big island. and she there was a little bit of racism and all involved there because she was one quarter english. she was granddaughter of one of kameham. has captive english social i should explain. no, that will be taken entirely wrong. i won't explain. lydia saying something about a famous museum and this is being taped and it'll be on tv and i don't want to deal with that so she got over it. she became lydia became queen emma's lady and waiting and in that court. she sort of performed a function sort of like a minor royal in the british court today. she was sort of a princess alexandra or a duchess of kent. she had lots to do but not really a lot of the the spotlight. well her hennai sister bernice palawahi married an american banker charles reed bishop now, that was one of the good marriages. well, in fact, there's a chapter in my book called useful marriages because at this time that a sugar industry is beginning there were all kinds of american businessmen who were coming to hawaii and find

. >>> we're joined next by caitlin emma, from politico, to talk about the president's budget. $1.5 trillion, good morning. >> good morning. >> tell us about that. this is just the discretionary budget. what else makes up the rest of the president's budget, and how much is that grand total expected to be? >> what we saw released late last week was what you called the discretionary spending request for 2022, the upcoming fiscal year that begins on october 1st. discretionary spending only makes up about a third of the total federal budget. this is funding for all of the federal agencies, non-defense programs, in addition to the pentagon. this does not encompass the full federal budget. it's about $1.5 trillion, this spending request. in addition, you have mandatory spending on things like medicare and social security. tax proposals. all of that is forthcoming. but right now, the white house released this so that congressional appropriators can get working on it. >> when was the last time domestic spending has been increased on this level? or has it been in the past? >> this is a huge increase.

we have a question from emma and emma asks, can you discuss the similarities and differences between the constitution and the virginia declaration of rights and why or how any changes were made from the first document to the second? i thank you for the opportunity to answer this first as a primary author of that virginia declaration of rights. i have a great many thoughts. however, i think it should be illuminated that ultimately it was passed by a committee a committee was as is our custom overcharged with useless members and yet we see a document coming out of such a flawed collection of men to be great in its man or not. mind you but great. 16 articles ultimately ratified in june of 17 and 76 prior even to our declaration of independence here in virginia. we declared that all men are born equally free and independent and have certain inherent natural rights of which they cannot deprive at best their posterity namely the enjoyment of light and liberty with the means of acquiring and possessing property pursuing and obtaining happiness. and safety pursuing happiness and safety so a

about the poem that's on the statue of liberty the new colossus by emma lazarus. in it emma lazarus describes the statue of liberty as the mother of exiles who says give me your tired you're poor. you're huddled masses yearning to breathe free. the wretched refuse of your teaming sure send these the homeless tempest tossed to me. i lift my lamp beside the golden door. how many of you have heard those lines before so famous? and the fact that those lines are on the statue of liberty, which is a symbol of immigration in the united states is really powerful. it really centers the united states or the idea of the united states is being a welcoming haven for people who are exiles. unfortunately the history of the united states. tells somewhat different more complicated story. the truth is we haven't always had the humanitarian impulse to welcome refugees. usually we've only done so when it's in our humanitarian national interest usually we've been more inclined to actually reject refugees than to accept them. and to borrow the words of historian eric tang often refugee

she had an older sister named emma, who was ten years older, but she had been away visiting france for about two weeks and she was definitely in the clear. and there were a number of suspicious things about lindsey. the first was that she hadn't actually looked for her stepmother when she discovered her father's body around 11. she said that her stepmother had received a note and had gone out. no no it was ever found, and investigation failed to disclose any potential center of the note. it was also the case that she seemed to give, you know, shifting accounts of where she was. she said that she was downstairs ironing handkerchiefs at the time that mr. borden died -- a task that was left significantly undone, and that she was outside in the barn, looking variously for a sinker, for a fishing light, or a piece of ten to fix the screen, and also eating pairs in the upper part of the barn at the time that her father was murdered. all of this probably wouldn't have been enough to cliff her under arrest, but it was also discovered that she had tried to buy poison the day before the murders.

i think bringing to bear assessments related to the cronkite assessment, which we discussed today, emma strays it does dissolve as hypocrifal. i would like to underscore that these narratives, particularly the cronkite moment, remains a useful point of reference for us as consumers, as well as journalists. journalists are often looking to find more recent up-to-date moments. another high heroic moment in american journalism is when american journalists made a difference. it was at the highest levels of policy. thank you, folks. thank you for your attention today.

during the writing of the emma lazarus poem, there's a guy writing the opposite, don't open the door. and that guy won. preventing jewish refugees from coming to the united states. not a comfortable image. we would still like to say give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, but it is more complicated than that. >> this idea of how we choose to remember our darkest chapters -- this is popping a -- popping up a lot in our questions -- there is a debate between the 1619 project and the 1776 project. some folks are asking about the removal of confederate statues. this is an area of debate for folks. one person saying "i do not think they should be destroyed as they represent a part of our history, but can they somehow demonstrate the horrors those people perpetrated as a reminder?" another question saying "i have heard removing them sanitizes a dark place in our history." secretary bunch, what do you make of that? >> first of all, you definitely need to prune these statues. like mitch landrieu, like they have done in budapest with soviet era statues, the

when we at what the antecedents were and one of the things that we inherit in the 20th century is the emma lazarus poem. you know, we're the golden door. there's another guy at the same time a poet writing close the door. we won't don't want those sorts of people in guess who won? that guy in 1924. we had an immigration bill that just shut the door and created quotas that made it impossible for refugees from europe and particularly jewish refugees from coming into the united states. not a very comfortable image. we'd still like to say give me your tired your poor your huddled messes yearning to breathe free, but it's a lot more complicated than that. this idea of how we choose to remember our darkest chapters. this is actually popping up a lot in some of our the conversation and the questions here. there's some folks weighing in on the debate between the 1619 project which of course led by the incomparable nicole hannah jones and also the 1776 project that the trump administration had just put out but there's some related thoughts. i want to share here with you and get you to weigh in. som

she's the one that really started it emma stock commander stockdale at that time. his wife was a senior naval officer wife colonel bud day's wife doris was one of the senior army air force pow. i stand in fort walton beach. they all got organized and then the national league of pow wm my family's got going and they went to civil stock till in my book leading with honor i talk about civil had four teenage boys. she rented a house and island there in san diego and moved to rent a house in washington dc is the chairman of the national league of pow wmi families and she started meeting with president nixon and kissinger and the department of defense and they started putting pressure and finally said look here's the deal. in a nice way either you start you change your policy and start raising hell about our men and putting pressure on them to give an accounting. are we're going to do it and so if you don't do it you're going to be opposite us you can you can align with us and come alongside and get on our float or you can be against us. you got a choice. well, these guy

i also think -- emma has a section called bad settlers. that's about virginia. right? i think there's something conscious about the idea that she doesn't like what they did down there. if american stands for that, then that's not really a nation you want to stand for yourself. right? if you could kind of talk about it in a way to move on from it and ignore it or say, that's -- that happened but that's not what the crucial thing that happened, the origin is really up here. >> if the textbooks had been written by southerners, the supporters of slavery, do you think they would have consciously left out the jamestown narrative, because it would seem >> it's hard to know. the fact is, one of the reasons why the puritans became such -- in many i mind, fascinating culture, is partly because they wrote everything down. -- inclu their own history. church records, everything. they have a printing press. this is crucial to them. they have a college and a printing press within a decade of getting here. a decade. that's like crazy. right? this doesn't happen in the south. so one of
