the story of philadelphia as the u.s. capitol is the story where we are taking a new constitution and actually operating it, doing things like adding new states to the original 13. also the bill of rights would become a part of our constitution while philadelphia was the capitol, in fact, secretary of state thomas jefferson would formally announce the amendments to the constitution in -- by basically coming to congress here in this building and officially announcing that we've changed our constitution, which, of course, the bill of rights is a huge part of our history and will be in the future and a continuing talking point in our political life, but also it's the amendment process itself, we're proving that that part of the constitution works, that we can update and make changes to that constitution without having to start completely over again from the beginning. but really for this building it's to a large degree it's sort of creating the american political system, the two-party system that we know today is going to be

he is a very experienced scholar in philadelphia. i looked and there's like one marker in the front gates i believe and from what i remember from market -- margaret eagan spoke it was lucretia motz's family's plot that she donated to the united states military which is awesome because she would actually from time to time visit the space and bring them baked goods and just check in on the soldiers so again women of many races are visible at ella terry camps for different reasons. it's my hope that can puyi antennas put into this important conversation because 11 regiments in total will train their so it's very visible in pennsylvania life. the one thing i didn't do for the first book is also talking about military processions in the camp that also outside. there needs to be a little bit more conversation about that. those were spaces in which the black community appreciates -- particularly black women. there they are and they are cheering and they are saying you as a society need to recognize what we did for particularly white women.

> reporter: west philadelphia is where 27-year-old walter wallace jr. grew up. his dad, walter sr., a proud sanitation worker. his mom, kathy, had her hands full with walter and his three siblings. what kind of son was he? >> he was a normal son. he was a pain in my behind a lot of times, man. i'm going to keep it real, know what i mean? >> kathy, when you close your eyes, what memories of him come to mind? >> he sang rap. ♪ you got yours and i got mine ♪ >> reporter: but for all his brightness, walter struggled with mental illness, starting as early as 6 years old. eventually, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. >> i understand he was on lithium? is that right? >> yeah, adderall, abill lafy. >> 12, 13 different types of medicine. >> you guys have been throughwr >> yeah. >> reporter: walter's emotions, his family says, sometimes led him to act out in violence ways. he faced trouble with the law, serving time in jail in 2017. but his father says he was a devoted dad who after a series of odd jobs found steady work during the pandemic as a door da

of course, i would have to go to philadelphia to buy it. philadelphia was hundreds of miles away. but i said to myself "after all, it is a new world, thomas, perhaps you should do new things." ♪ tom: so, the next morning i set out traveling light. by the -- i was at the state border. i knew when i reached the border, all right. i guessed right then the trip wasn't going to be easy. it seems i had no official signatures, passes, or letters of trade. hours later, i had plenty of them. then i hired a horse and rode the next day to another border. that night, i stayed at a small village inn. the proprietor wasn't what i would call over friendly. he wouldn't take my state currency at face value. though he did exchange it for me at less than the official rates. then he showed me my accommodations. i didn't argue, because it came to me suddenly that i was a foreigner. after all, i had traveled all of 50 miles from home. while there, i got some idea of how others felt about central government. one traveler offered a toast to the glorious colony of rhode island. another offered his to th

yellow fever epidemic philadelphia in 1793. and i want to focus on the media media of course in those days in particular kind of content. print media, journalists and i mean content that of public an important and during the epidemic and that fit perfectly. the role of journalism is twofold to put very simply. there's a function journalism which is to find out what is going on in reporting and record it. and there's function which is to analyze it and discuss and argue about it. in journalism filled both those rules and then the 18th century and in both of these epidemics, newspapers more involved. but they were much more important in 1793 when or than in 1735 but there was journalism in those eras in this what i want to talk about. let me tell you briefly about the story of the epidemics very briefly because will come back to the rest of the evening. and in 1735, years of a serious illness became to come out of the towns in southern new hampshire and into boston. but it particularly got to the children printed in the newspaper

and march on philadelphia so that's plan. again, fairly straightforward but obviously those are two very different plans and it's up to jermaine to coordinate these plans. there's jermaine in the center and he's got how on the left. the problem of course is a tyranny of difference. there's 3000 miles between london and new york and commander-in-chief in new york 3000 miles away. for jermaine and the king was sitting there in london so when you got messages that can take two to three months to go back and forth across the atlantic, it makes it very difficult to coordinate a campaign. especially when you have decision-makers in london and in new york city so that is what leads the major problem trying to courtney these two plans and of course ultimately what happens, we can't get into the details here with the short time we have but ultimately what happens is cross, communications were modeled, misunderstanding should and confusion will take place and basically what happened, they approved the campaign with the understanding on

, and then they will march on philadelphia. that's howe's plan. again, fairly straightforward, but obviously, those are two very very different plans, and it's up to germain to coordinate these plans. there's germain in the center. then he's got howe off to the left there and burgoyne to the right. the problem of course is there's a distance. there's 3,000 miles between london and new york. you have the commander-in-chief sitting in new york, 3,000 miles away, burgoyne and germain and the king are sitting there in london. when you've got messages that can take two to three months to go back and forth across the atlantic, it makes it very very difficult to coordinate a campaign, and especially when you have decisionmakers in london and decisionmakers in new york city. and so that's what really leads to the major problem with trying to coordinate these two plans, and of course ultimately what happens, you know, we can't get into the details here in the short time we have, but ultimately what happens of course is orders will cross

so that can be done on philadelphia's or pennsylvania. but particularly philadelphia in terms of the civil war and looking at race and gender. yeah, i've got a couple questions. i'm gonna maybe smush together if that's all right. yeah, so one question is about whether there were other ways for these men to define their manhood outside of the war. was that possible what were some of the avenues in which they were able to do that and then another viewer mentioned and wants to know if you're familiar with martin murray white of philadelphia who was a us ct officer and thrown off of the officers car in a train in pennsylvania because he was black and told go to the colored car and he sued the railroad claiming entitlement case went to the pennsylvania supreme court. he lost the court allow the railroad to continue to segregate and disallow black officers the same privileges allowed other officers. so, you know are those at all connected. i mean, yes without question and you know, obviously i believe philip phoner and again judy ginsburg has t

which is the seat of congress and if i do that washington will be forcedph to defend philadelphia then they can destroy the american army in the rebellion so at first he considers marching overland to philadelphia but if he does that it could have all sorts of problems and of course he was burned late 76 early 77 but the trenton princeton campaign that washington conducted against him so he decides use the mobility of the royal navy and loads his troops on ships and his plan is to load on ships and take the army by see and ultimately they will go up the chesapeake bay to philadelphia. that is the plan. again fairly straightforward so those are two very different plans. and it is up to jermaine to coordinate these plans jermaine is in the center and then he has how off to the left we go off to the right the problem of course is there is the tyranny of distance 3000 miles between london and new york in the commander-in-chief sitting in new york 3000 miles away and the king is sitting there in london. when you have messages that can take two or three months to go back and forth across the

in the streets of philadelphia saturday -- >> too scared to take the mask off! >> reporter: -- a different extremist organization. about 200 members of the patriot front who was identified as a white supremacist group carried flags and chanted about a stolen le election. >> when something is stolen, you believe you can get it back rightfully through violence. that's what we're seeing through the radicalized right wing groups. >> reporter: the groups had several batd encounters with th public, including throwing a smoke bomb to run away from authorities. the mayor of philadelphia tweeted this, appalled these groups chose philly as the place to demonstrate their hatred. racism, intolerance and hate have no place here. >> philadelphia police would not comment how many arrests were with that demonstration. if so, how many. wolf? >> brynn gingras reporting. let's get more. law enforcement analyst charles ramsey is joining us and phil mudd is with us, a former cia counterterrorism official. chief ramsey, as i said, you're the former police commissioner in philadelphia

in philadelphia he's not ablee o get a decisive victory. he beat washington a couple of times but he couldn't get back that final decisive victory. after that i really think the war goes into different phase where it ultimately goes down to the south and then he really has much more but counterinsurgency like conflict and i think by that point again i think only the americans could this beaten him at that point or that's my first thought in my first assessment of that and when you look at how the saratoga campaign played out one of the options that does prevent, which he prevents in an afterthought manner is well one thing we can do would be to use the navy, load up the troops who are in canada sailed them back around to new york and now he would have this immense army and that army would be there i say that army could have been bigig enouh to attract down washington in the philadelphia camp. that doesn't happen obviously but i think that was their best opportunity. if he does go back to what mcafee was talking about is a strategy the strat

so happily the firemen have rushed to the rescue, the archdiocese of philadelphia the case was argued one of the early cases justice baird heard in november. and of the argument went very well. i am prior full be the super majority i don't think we can convince. i am hopeful that will be a moderate opinion by justice brian was struggling to get middle ground in this question seemed to him extreme heat yanked their license. that's the tenor of his questions justice kagan likewise seemed to be somewhere in between. i think we will win. there is an example of a city government stepping in and saying we are going take the side of one community in the culture wars. >> kent is in a sign of the cultural change on the growing hostilities and religion? it's not just the balancing of a couple of things as you say, these people are tarred as bigots as the equality act will do them. would you agree this is more the national movement rather than the propping of a case in philadelphia? >> unfit case is empirical it's a manifestation of this national movement. it is frequently evil because you are d

detroit was so corrupt, philadelphia was so corrupt. but the u.s. attorney was not allowed to investigate. this just came out in a letter, you don't even know about this, that's a big one, what do you think? we have a letter, you will have to get it from him. get it from the u.s. attorney, but i'm sure he will be willing to provide it, but he's giving it to us. but i saw that, he was all enthused, then all of a sudden

white supremacists marched in philadelphia. at one point setting off a smoke grenade. >> they started engaging with citizens of philadelphia who are not too happy of some of the things they were saying. these males felt frighten and at some point somebody threw a smoke bomb to cover their retreat and they ran away from the people of philadelphia. >> they felt threaten. six months after the capitol attack, the nation is grappling with election lies and the republican party unwilling to do much about either. joining me now is congressman ted lu and cornel belcher and christina greer. >> congressman lu, i want to start with you, i want people to remember six months ago we were this close, you were there and can you remind us again and anybody out there how dangerous and frightening things were for our entire way of life just six months ago. >> thank you, jason for your question. six months ago, the forever impeached president incited an insurrection. 140 something officers injured, some severely and many lost their lives. what we

john nixon of philadelphia's committee of safety read the declaration. read the printed dunlap broadside from a wooden platform outside the state house. when nixon reached its conclusion the gathered crowd erupted into repeated hazars. then members of the committee of inspection. took down the kings coat of arms from the courtroom inside the state house. and through them onto a bonfire. the celebration continued on for hours afterwards as john adams remembered the city's bells rang all day. and almost all night. congress ordered other copies of dunlapse broadside to be sent far and wide to committees of safety councils conventions and state assemblies with the request that it be proclaimed in such a mode as that. the people may be universally informed of it. over the following days these declarations dozens. and dozens of them were read in churches in public squares and to the troops of the continental army. when one of these dunlap declarations was read in baltimore, just up the road from here. a band of jubilant patriots mark the occasion by dragging a

kaitl kaitlan collins in philadelphia for us. thank you. >>> president biden's speech comes smack in the middle of a political showdown over voting rights in texas which has turned into a serious game of cat and mouse. right now dozens of texas house democrats are in washington, d.c. after flying out of the lone star state in an effort to block new voting restrictions being pushed by republicans. >> so they're meeting with top senate democrats and vice president harris will meet with them this week as well. the democrats say that they will stay out of texas until the end of that special session. that is still weeks away. jessica dean is on capitol hill following texas lawmakers and as they plot their next move. jessica, do you know what the plan is, as we see the president -- hold on for a second, jessica. president biden is arriving in philadelphia ahead of his speech, as we just talked about. he is headed to the national constitution center to talk about voting rights, not just the importance of protecting them but mapping a pa

him and destroy the american army and the rebellion so at first he considers marchingo overland to philadelphia does that, it could slead to all sorts of problems and protect his communications in new york and c of course he s burned in late 76, early 77 with the trenton princeton campaign washington conducted against him so he decides to use mobility of the royal navy and brother commanding the navy and he loads troops on ships in his plan is -- let me go back a second. so his plan is to load on ships and take his army by c and they will ultimately end up going up the chesapeakee bay, philadelpha so that his plan. again, fairly straightforward but obviously those are two very different plans and it's up to germane to coordinate these plans. there's germane in the center and he's got howe off to the left. the problem is there is tyranny, 3000 miles in london in new york and you've got commander-in-chief new york 3000 miles away, germane and picking are there in london so when you've got messages that can take two to three months to go back and forth across the atlantic, it makes it very difficu

i'm jeff bennett coming to you live from outside independence hall in philadelphia where we are awaiting the arrival of president biden at any moment. later this hour, we are expecting the president to deliver what could be one of the defining speeches of his term about what the white house calls the moral case for voting rights. our mike memoli reports the president plans to blast what he'll call the most egregious attempts to harm the integrity of our democracy since the civil war. and under intense pressure from civil rights leaders, the plt plans to link new voting rights laws to some of the more egregious efforts including poll taxes, literacy tests. it's democrats sounding the alarm as republican-controlled state legislatures across the country move swiftly to restrict access to the ballot with new laws already proposed or passed. texas democrats leaving the state to deny republicans a quorum and delay votes on new voting restrictions. right now they're in washington, d.c. pleading with democrats in congress to act now. >> they claimed this is about election integrity. no, no. it's

furthermore, the entire vote count for philadelphia was actually live and streamed anywhere. the irony is, of course, that in 2020, donald trump had -- had slated better in philadelphia than he did four years prior, what really sunk him was the vote in the suburb switching so hard from red to blue. statewide in pennsylvania i am deeply concerned that we will no longer be in arizona and the key reason why is there is an open race for government here and the republican right now it turning into a race debacle in terms of which candidate can do the most to -- donald trump and that is on the steps of an arizona-style audit in arizona. >> what do you want to hear from the president today because there's been criticism that he hasn't been forceful enough and he hasn't put pressure on congress to break this down. >> andrea, i'm just literally a few blocks away in my office and we'll walk down to the national constitution center, and a perfect setting for this historic speech on voting rights. i think the president has been forceful and it was in congress to do our job when the house

well, our white house correspondent, kimberly how kit is in philadelphia, kimberly philadelphia courses where president biden was speaking a few hours ago. he used very strong words. he called us and assault on democracy and liberty. obviously an issue that is very personal for him. personal. in fact, he's made it the top priority of his presidency and the symbolism is profound. he's come or came to the city of philadelphia, which is the birthplace of american democracy. behind me you see independence, paul, that is where the forefathers not only debated, but also have signed the declaration of independence as well as the us constitution, which is still adhered to today. so this is joe biden decided to come to make the case to the american public. it a national address that you believe that american democracy is american. know it is under assault, is so free and fair elections is just such a threat. literally. i've said before, we're facing the most significant test of our democracy since the civil war, as not i personally since the civil war. kimberly joe biden is talking widely there

. >> they literally ran away from the people of philadelphia. yes. did they look up philadelphia before they travelled there? we've got a lot to cover tonight. the u.s. government is confirming that the american withdrawal from afghanistan is now 90% over. president biden had set september 11th as the date by which all u.s. forces would be out of afghanistan. adds of july 5 ftd more than 90% of the process is done. great number of mens of congress who served in afghanistan are now turning up the heat to try to make sure that afghans who worked as translators and other support roles in that long war can themselves get out of afghanistan ahead of what is appearing to be a lightning taliban advance which threatens the lives of those afghans who helped u.s. troops, threatens the lives of their families. nbc's richard engel has been embedded with a group of afghan commandos. the sort of elite anti-taliban fighting force left there. they're fighting without u.s. support. he filed an incredible report from afghanistan about the kinds of actions they're

he's making it in philadelphia, the simple reason i in philadelphia, the simple reason that that is the traditional birthplace of the nation. it's where the us constitution and the declaration of independence were both signed, so it significantly, symbolic place for him to make a speech of this kind. a very passionate speech as to why he's making it now, there are a couple of reasons. a number of republican led states are passing legislation that will restrict voting rights, and texasis will restrict voting rights, and texas is the most recent two attempt to do so. because president biden is coming under growing pressure from civil rights leaders and others to do more to promote, somehow find a way of getting an passage through congress which would override these moves to make it more difficult for people to vote. hence his impassioned rhetoric today. he said it was a moral reckoning as far as the united states was concerned. what's happening with this legislation in congress? well, it has installed _ legislation in congress? well, it has installed in _ legislation in congress? well, it

that's what they have been september to philadelphia to do. reconciliation and redress were the order of the day. few at that point were thinking that congress was using it's insurrection against the monarchy. and it was actually king george iii that first declared the kol colonists for them. the king issues a proclamation saying the colonists were now outside of his protection. that is august 1775. and the british parliament declared roll on the colonists commerce. beginning stop and serge raids on american merchant shipping. another thing that nudged them in that direction was the appearance of a new pamphlet in 1776. it is the work of a outcast englishman that came to philadelphia to start again. and it told readers that it was common sense for the colonists to respond to george's bullying by walking away and starting afresh. it sold like hot cakes and quickly made it's way into the pockets, homes, and minds of perhaps millions. and it worked to bind people throughout the colonies and it gave them all a common enemy, too. laying the blame o
