it's caroled to over into the new world and carried over violently where in new york city new york city, orangemen would march through irish catholic sections of the city kind of rubbing their face in it, and riots ensued. that's an example of how old world resentments carried over, but tweed is representative of the possibilities of american life. most of his followers in politics were, in fact, eye -- irish catholics. tweed realized that he was in this cosmopolitan city, many different ethnic groups. ethnic groups also could vote, and you don't get votes by alienating people or dragging up old battles. so he was, tweed -- though by native anglo perspective was a little more american by virtue of being presbyterian -- nonetheless, kind of opened up to the catholic community, especially the irish catholic community. and we see this in his inner circle, the so-called tweed ring that is associated, again, with this, with this corruption. the next image i have sent out to you is of that of the tweed ring. you see a ring of people all accusing the other person of corruption. but there are f

or limit today new york city? >> god question. it had national implications. harpers weekly was a national magazine and nast's cartoons were spread across the country. and they did -- they had a tremendous effect in terms of linking political corruption with local urban politics, but at the same time political corruption across the board in the late 1860s, the grant administration, so this is the national runner-up -- republican party rhetoric is one of kind of moral uprightness. you remember we looked at earlier grant's attack on catholic schools in name of, you know, republican political principles. still grant's administration was one of the most corrupt ever. it was corrupt up to that point. so there was a lot of graft at the national level. it's interesting that despite graft in the grant administration, the republican party still emerged as a kind of party of good governance because they spoke that rhetoric, whatever graft was going on, they spoke the language of good government and purity where the tammany

but this political club in new york controls new york city politics for much of the late 19th century and into about the middle of the 20th century. and the image that you have here, which is very much an image of tammany hall, certainly suggests evil and corruption. again, from nast's perspective, from the perspective of that first political culture, that is what tammany is, political evil and corruption. the reading that you have for today, however, plunkett of tammany hall, gives a different, more positive view from within the culture itself. so first we're going to -- the next part of class, go over some of the history, the most relevant history of tammany hall in the middle of the 20th century. and then after that we will look at some selections from plunkett of tammany hall to give you a response from within that second political culture. first political culture, looking from the outside, this is all corruption, this is destroying american politics, an american version. from that first political culture, anti-catholic, around at this irish. all that being said, the charges of co

was for new york city. it overwhelmed drainage systems and caused a flash flood. the ground in their basement apartment, divers had to retreat including a 2-year-old. you can see on the screen a picture of what remained after one basement apartment was flooded and when we look at the addresses of the five homes where new yorkers died on fema's flood map, i was surprised to find that all of them are located in areas marked as having minimal flood hazards. so administrator, i understand that fema flood maps are meant to be limited tools. but is it true that local emergency responders sometimes use fema maps to determine which residents should be evacuated and what areas to prioritize after a flood, yes or no? >> thank you so much for the question, and my heart goes out to those families who lost loved ones due to this event. as you stated our flood maps are designed to be tools that account for river flooding, and they do not take into account the storm sewer system. as you saw, we had a record rainfall in ne

let's go to miguel, you're there in new york city. maybe less of a nail biter, but this is coming at a very critical time for new york city. >> reporter: yeah, look, this is a nail biter that will be the shock of the evening. i can say that, you know, the turnout today might play some roll in this election. brooklyn borough hall, which should be very, very busy right now. it is very, very, very not busy. these are all of the stations where one fills out their ballots and then over at the end of the room is where they actually scan them through. they only had about three dozen ballots scanned in over the last two hours that they have been open. this election, both candidates hitting on crime, housing, homelessness, those big issues that new yorkers are concerned with. and it features the vegan ex-cop against the cat-loving founder of the guardian angels, very colorful individual on the republican side, curtis sliwa running against adams. it is expected because it is such a democratic city, about 4-1 registration here that the democrat

this hurricane resulted in over 100 deaths, including 13 in new york city. new york and new jersey, more than 1000 miles from where this storm first made landfall, catastrophic flooding trapped people and flooded basement apartments and stranded vehicles. in louisiana, hurricane ida took down the electric grid, knocking out all eight transmission lines that deliver power to new york, new orleans, and downing more than 30,000 utility poles. nearly twice as many as hurricane katrina. more than one million people left without power. some still without power more than a month later. the unprecedented destruction unleashed by hurricane ida is part of a growing trend the federal government cannot ignore. from record-breaking fires in the west to devastating hurricanes in the south, rising sea levels threatening 40% of america's population near our coastlines, the destructive impact of climate change is rapidly escalating. the cost of ignoring this problem is growing. during the first half of 2021, the u.s. experienced eight disasters with losses totaling more than

york city in court justice this article came out in the new york times, the holocaust just got more shocking. 42,500. did you know that number? this is from an article that is 8.5 years old, the scholarship began right around the time i interviewed judge walsh and it is continuing to this day, the research catalogs 42,500 nazi ghettos and camps throughout europe, the figure is so staggering that even tell holocaust survivors had to make sure they had heard correctly. the new numbers are unbelievable. that's a hard work, unbelievable because some people say it never happened. this is not believable because it can't be true. it is so fantastic. when you study the holocaust you realize how much you don't know. you might think you are an expert but believe me, that changes. bergen belson was was one historian called the final stop determinist of the holocaust. by 1945, the springtime, americans are closing in on one side, the british, the americans, the french, the soviets, maps from april 18th so this map shows you some red dots that are concentration camps. this is a book from the 198

finally he was recaptured but then he got away again and he finally wound up in new york state. this is an important point and maybe a reminder even during the best times of the patriot cause there was a stronghold of loyalist him because people who lived in new york city had close commercial ties with england and they didn't want to break those and also because it was relatively easy for the british navy and british ships to occupy your city which was the strategic spot. they had heard through the grape vine that the british army more precisely british negotiators in paris negotiating the treaty they were going to abandon the farms and make the slaves independent. in fact some of the slaves took up the british offer and boston was evacuated where tens of thousands so boston was a loyalist. many fled the united states at the end of the war and this is an interesting chapter. it's kind of like you guys when at the end of the war and all is well. but no one in fact i was thinking about this when we watched the end of the war in afghanistan and as american forces were leaving peopl

on the 1863 new york city draft riots. >> from july 13th-16th, 1863, in the middle of the civil war, thousands of poor and working class why not new yorkers, incensed by equities in the new military draft, resentful about wartime hardship and enflamed by the lincoln administration's emancipation policies, looted and destroyed buildings, battled police, state militia and federal troops and brutally attack thed the city's african-american residents. in the century and a half since the new york city draft riots, numerous psychological lahrs, popular -- scholars, popular books and articles are their rated and examined the significant events that comprised the largest civil insurrection this u.s. history, and and most of these works have included illustrations of the violence that were published in its immediate aftermath in the weekly newspapers. none of these many studies or popular accounts have used these images as much more than endorsement for or reiteration of their text. certainly, they have not served as evidence to be value waited in their own -- evaluated in their own right. il

simply obeying what new york city has ruled? >> right. and new york city is not going to change their rule, and again, it's up to the nba and kyrie to come to a full understanding on how to keep them on the nets and continue to look at all of our athletes that are coming here. and again, i think the nba and kyrie will come to a conclusion on this. >> do you want kyrie to get the shot? >> it's up to kyrie. that is his determination. i don't want to dictate for him. it's his body. he has to make that determination on what he wants to do. >> well, congratulations again, mayor-elect. you're the winner and you've got a lot going on. we appreciate your taking some time and joining us. thank you very much. >> thank you. take care. >> the mayor-elect of new york city, eric adams. >>> just ahead, the murder trial of three white men charged with killing black jogger ahmaud arbery begins with a nearly all-white jury. we have details of opening statements when we come back. helping to prevent gum disease and bad breath. never settle for 25%

this is in newburgh, new york, along the hudson, the british army is still in new york city and will remain until after the war and the continental army is checking them and watching over them and the problem was the officers had not been paid. why hadn't they been paid? they don't have any money. they have worthless continental dollars. they had been promised half pay, a pension. problems, same one as before. >> that is a lot of money. >> and congress doesn't have it so there are rumblings, especially if peace comes. >> they don't have another means of getting money. or if they were injured in the war they can't work. >> congress never paid them so what comes to be known as the newburgh conspiracy or newburgh affair, officers secretly meet in two things they discuss, potentially a coup on congress, retreat behind the mountains, what mountains? those mountains. let the british march out of new york city and do what? what ever. until congress pays them. fundamentally both of these are problematic and ideologically go against the revolution so what washington will do to show he is in c

york city. as the beginning of a return to politics but in an eccentric way that might serve the public well. >> how realistic were the plans for a post war political party that fdr and willkie discussed during the war? >> more did he think it was feesful to have a party that was the best of both the remember and the democratic party. and so the speculation of how well he could have cobbled together a third force is engaging. willkie's death was really quite unnecessary. and people knew that fdr was not last much longer. and it might well have been that had both men lived a bit longer, that their collaboration, not willkie's becoming a democrat, would have been productive and positive and benign. >> thank you. that's all the questions we have for you today. >> that's enough. thank you. >> wonderful time. thank you so much. and as a reminder to everyone, the book is titled the improbable wendell willkie. thank you for coming in. >> thanks. >> tonight, fox news anchor brad behr on the life of ulys

minneapolis, boston, buffalo, new york city, and atlanta. now, the races are a bellwether for where the democratic party stands on several critical issues including policing. joining me now, cnn's senior political analyst john avlon. john, good evening, sir. >> good evening. >> so all of the stuff that we talked about over the last couple years, policing, everything, it's all coming together tomorrow night. let's start with minneapolis because we know what happened over there. there was a huge debate over what to do with police in the wake of george floyd's murder. and then there's an amendment on the ballot that could end up replacing the city's police department with a department of public safety. is minneapolis putting defund the police to a vote? is that what this is? or am i wrong? >> i mean, basically yes. but i think it highlights what a disastrous slogan defund the police has been. because if you dig an inch beneath the surface folks say look, that's not really what it means. here's what the amendment would do. it would take the poli

he is up in new york city. but washington -- because jefferson and hamilton have formed the democratic or republican party as joe corrected us he brings adams in as, hamilton in, and starts corresponding with him. that is the primary collaboration. they bring jon jay in at the very end. you get the federalist papers back together to perform an on site edit with hamilton in new york. it is back and forth. the play "hamilton" does a very good job describing it. i interviewed him for my book. i was delighted to find a song about the farewell address which uses some of the actual lines. what manuel said is he designed it so that jefferson, hamilton would be delivering it as prose and washington would turn it into poetry. some of the words are hamilton's but the music and the soul is washington and the public delivery. that is the process. among a whole string of partisan papers at the time the philadelphia advertiser is not a partisan paper, not a federalist paper notably in part because it has a congressional prin

york city. but i also try to be as open-hearted as i can be, and that is also what new york city has taught me. and the subway, to me, encompasses that and what it makes me think over and over again is the lesson of accept all, reject none. and that is what has allowed me to do my work for seven years. because, of course, i've been attacked, obviously i've been assaulted, of course i've escaped projectile vomit by a millimeter, right? of course i've been yelled at. of course everything horrible i have witnessed, people fighting, fortunately no real bodily harm i've witnessed myself, but we know that has happened on the subway. the tremendous amount of displacement and people without a permanent residence, the tremendous amount of people in need, of course i see all of that. it makes my work more challenging, but i do believe it makes my work better because that is truly what accept all, reject none means. and when you said it feels -- to see people in trouble and to feel like you want to go up t

new york city mayor, remember, this was back in julian assange. the progressives lost that primary and then, of course, virginia a projected loss to the democrats. so i think there's going to be a lot of reflecting upon what happened last night, what's happened in the last few months. i think that there are a lot of voters who said, you know what, we want to pump the brakes on the democrats and progressives. let's take another look. we want more people moving towards the center of the aisle. >> harry, you're about to go to sleep. anything else before you go night-night? >> yes, i am about to go night-night. i have been awake 21 hours. look, the fact of the matter is the real only question left is new jersey. we pointed out the beginning of the segment. a far closer call for phil murphy than anyone thought it was going to be. it's pretty clear across the board in these races and something i didn't even mention, on long island, you see a bunch of democrats losing. this is not just one place where democrats are losing. we are seeing it up and down th

at the worst height of the pandemic in the world in new york city, new york city firefighters and fire officers went to the -- >> address what i'm asking you here. >> i'm going to, yeah. >> the problem of being pro-vaccine and anti-mandate. >> well, we have -- again, we've been exposed to the virus very early on. many of our members got sick, and they have a high -- >> it's not the same. just today, the cdc is pointing to research that shows there is more consistent immunity when it comes to the vaccine than infection. that's not something you can hang your hat on. >> well, it's more consistent, but the osha has also come out with a standard that they can use vaccine and testing, which we've had previously to this mandate. our infection rate from that testing, we had over 6,000 tests, less than one-half of 1% of our membership tested positive. that's lower than the public's rate. so the vaccine and testing program we had previously has been working, so there is no reason to impose this mandate, especially when it wasn't negotiated and collectively bar bargained. >> 77% of fdny now vacc

black mayor of new york city. the votes are still coming in. a little over 30% of the vote is in, and there's about a 50-point gap between adams. this is what was expected. new york is of course a very democratic city, but adams put together a very interesting coalition working class voters, union voters, voters of color, voters in the outer boroughs, he also ran not just on public safety. this is something he talked about a lot of his campaign. public safety is a prerequisite to prosperity, talking a lot also about that businesses are able to do businesses more easily cutting through the red tape. it seems like he did coming out on top. as i mentioned early on in the campaign, public safety was the center point of this race. eric adams as a former police captain himself talked often about how he was arrested as a teenager, he was beaten by the nypd, and he later joined the force to try to change it and reform it from within. while he's talked a lot about how policing is a tough job, he's also said we don't want t

it's on the ballot today in minneapolis and in new york city. but this is how we try and arrive at a different understanding of how we use the police. >> in many ways even try to start that conversation in a number of circles, errol. as we look, too, the other thing getting a lot of attention in new york city, vaccine mandates. we know that curtis, the republican, very much against bill de blasio's mandates in the city. adams mostly supports them. that, too, is sort of emblematic of what we're seeing around the country. yes. i would tell you, though, erica, i was a little surprised. i moderated a number of debates for local officers in new york city, and i was surprised at the extent to which whether opposing vaccine mandates became immediately pli ly politicized. mostly republican and conservative party candidates say that vaccine mandates are terrible. they say that they are pro vaccine but they're anti-mandate, in some ways a distinction without a difference. it's very surprising how quickly it became a rallying point for candidates. it seeme

and they lined the streets of new york city. his pallbearers are to union generals into confederate generals. at the end of his life and that's the relationships they have that went back all the way to the mexican-american war. >> in the book you cover the fact that lincoln wasn't envious but he looked over his shoulder at some point and saw grant and said oh my gosh this guide may run for president against may, right? >> yeah you did but grant thought he was that popularity was that popular with the american people but grant never had that aspiration. he really didn't want to run for political office. he was asked all the time to run for president and he said they'll may office i thought about running for was mayor of galena so i could build a wall from my house to the depot. he finishes as the general and goes back to galena illinois. there's a big sign that says general the sidewalk is gone. [laughter] that was his only political aspiration but he does get recruited. he has this admiration for lincoln and a relationship that
