according to a newly released senate report doug mastriano, from the gettysburg, pennsylvania, area was pedaling trump's baseless election fraud claims throughout the commonwealth of pennsylvania. he is coop churd on video passing barricades and police lines during the capitol insurrection. mastriano continues to spread trump's big lie, even trying to launch another fraudulent election audit. >> reporter: as donald trump leaned on the justice department to help him overturn the 2020 election -- >> make no mistake this election was stolen from you, from me, the country. >> reporter: he leaned on gop allies, like retired army kurnl and dispensstate center mastria back him up. >> it's time to rise up, americans. >> reporter: the new senate judiciary report highlights trump's fast that mastriano was in his corner. it according to the testimony from richard donoghue, trump

we were at gettysburg one year. a guy who was a bit overweight, i am not against overweight people, he runs up the hill and he is out of breath. it was on an opinion on the federal maritime commission. he said i want you to sign this. i want to thank you. i said thank you. it really many feel-good. a regular citizen who is not a lawyer. i say why are you reading this opinion? why do you want me to sign it? he said he looked at gettysburg. that is what this was all about. we fought the civil war over the federal maritime commission. [laughter] that is all to make the point that i really like the fact when regular people find the work accessible. that is what we should do. i hire clerks from regular backgrounds. i wound up having so many clerks from that region. none of them even knew each other. they come from very regular backgrounds. they go to the university of south carolina, i'm trying to think where all these kids come from. say, and go so fast. the university of minnesota. every single one went to a state scho

so our annual trip is to gettysburg for that purpose. so this is pretty special to me. i must admit, because i don't recycle speeches, these things are quite a bit of work. and it's also trying to make sure that you actually talk with, not to or at, your audience. so first of all, again, let me thank maggie and professor munoz and notre dame. it's been quite some time since i've been here, and this has been very enjoyable. i also like to thank the students that i've interacted with. they always stimulate thinking. i have never left an interaction with students who really wanted to learn without learning so much myself. so i'd like to thank maggie for her introduction, which i think was far too generous and kind. but it only deepens my affection for her. as i said, it is an honor to be here with you in south bend. i've been fortunate, as i eluded earlier, to have visited here a number of times and to have a number of former clerks on the law school faculty. i have also been fortunate to have a number of your outstanding law school graduates clerk for me, and they were ou

i decided there's no use going to gettysburg to go out way back in turn around so here we go. i would like chris michalski to know if these present that this is the reason is vicksburg book is not done. [laughter] right here. [applause] i've got one to match over here. >> that's an excellent reason, man. >> thank you very much. you want a sip before you go, don't you? i learned i used to work at vicksburg and i had 12, 12-year-old boys underneath me 100 degrees 100% humidity and shooting a canon 12 hours a day. you would be surprised what you drink up. you'd get over it in a hurry. oh lord. she said daddy -- thank you. i appreciate it. [applause] daddy you aren't going in and talking about those dead people are you? [laughter] forest and van dorn can get along and there was a heated engagement, not an engagement. it's a heated argument between the two of them and van dorn's headquarters about some kind of article that came out over thompson's station in the battle but i just detailed and forests got the credit for it. van dorn was hot. van dorn told him if he. >> the author of

address for each of my grandchildren memorizes the gettysburg address will get $20. not not every one of them had the point i want made there it starts up fourscore and seven years ago our fathers, what did they do? on this continent a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition all men are created equal we are fighting a great war. this nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated long endure. now this is an experiment that is an experiment. there's a lot of europeans it's a great theory of the enlightenment but it will never work. it will never work. and that is what we are up against. over up against is to try and show it's about slavery and many more ears than that. we had all kinds of things and yet basically it sort of worked. i mean sort of. you have to be hesitant. there is not one person who knows and all i can say institution is an important aspect of trying to get that experiment to continue and i know they're going to do this this is so great, we have to teach those younger generations history and what our institutions do and wh

bragg had failed and we went to gettysburg pittsburgh has fallen port hudson has fallen. beauregard winds i would argue the only major confederate victory in 1863 cities once again a popular hero and there is political pressure from davis to put them in command and robert e. lee. he always had a high regard for beauregard abilities and support from braxton brag who is his military adviser. beauregard is given a command and this would be charge to the south in virginia and north carolina. with this he will take on benjamin that were and ultimately defeat him winning two important battles. however it should be said these battles were a bit sloppy at would say especially -- the union could have easily one of partly because his plan was overly complicated and this is happening when jefferson davis is nearby. davis gives beauregard a lot of support and he says i know you're situation. and at the battle's of beauregard promised a smashing victory so davis writes up an afternoon to see that victory only to see that it hasn't happened yet and in davis' mind it's not enough to see

in fact lincoln was not the featured speaker at gettysburg. spoke for two hours lincoln way to the very end to give us a poignant closing words. today of course, we recognize the gettysburg address is perhaps the greatest moment of a presidential speech and history. i think the fact people did not necessarily see the speech that way at the time, lincoln was not the featured speaker at gettysburg points to the fact it was not recognized at the time in general but you have to remember when lincoln became president he had not served in public office for ten years. his country style of dress, his speaking mannerisms, his self-education all meant lincoln was looked upon with some degree of condescension from the eastern elites in the country. perhaps not much was expected from his presidency. however, today there is little dispute. i always encourage my students to seek political science not as a science but as a debate. there are no laws, there are no findings, there is no discovery. instead what you have people making arguments that may not may n

in this particular case, runtser is walking up gettysburg to the family dollar at the top of gettysburg in germantown. someone called in, just like someone called in on john crawford, someone called and said it appeared this man was drunk walking up the street, or he was high or whatever the case may be. the police officer when they met him insidthe parking lot of this destination, they took the caller's at face value, the same way they did at beavercreek with john crawford, instead of reasssing the situation. we called on our law enforcement agency to look at away to deal with people with disabilities, mentally ill people when making stops. from our perspective, he was abducted from the location of where he was going to get some snacks because the police cannot communicate with him. they also thought he was high. they took him to the hospital. from there, thank god one of the doctors knew him, and they told them he has cerebral palsy, so he tried to ask them to take him back to where they picked him up from. the officers did not do that. there is a lack of empathy, lack of training. he

like gettysburg and antietam battlefields have a battlefield setting up the coast of north carolina. this naval battlefield is where two world wars came home to america. the shipwrecks are great sites and memorials to heroes and fragile reminds us of our past and so much more. one of the things i really like to point out about the shipwrecks is obviously the history is amazing and the gravity of how these vessels were lost hits us hard. we want to tell the stories and honor the history and honor our veterans but we also look at it as a transition from weapons of war and they become habitat for marine life. they like to think of it as as an historian everyone wants to focus on history but we all know that's not true. some people dive in general just to see the marine life in these shipwrecks and these u-boats and allied anti-submarine vessels and these merchant ships these gigantic merchant ships on the seafloor are these beautiful homes from all sorts of marine life. we know when we find shipwrecks the fishermen nowhere these start. they are the first ones to know. that's where the f

. >> with the gettysburg address. i think in the audience to see in liberty to factual imagery which when we are reading it with that audience the gettysburg address is an entirely different speech. you couldn't really see how specifically focused it was on the audience. it's more conservative but is so incredibly straightforward and very narrow. >> true. what did you get from the speechwriters? this is something a lot of you guys are going to be doing. maybe not for a president, but i guarantee you you'll be doing internships, may be for a politician may be for an advocacy group at some of you are going to be writing speeches. so what did you get out of these two chapters? one by a republican one by a democrat? >> and they want to have their own ideas emphasized in their speeches. it does not matter whether you are a democrat or a republican. each politician has a different agenda. it's also very important. >> yes. and the case of the pont du hoc that was a fail.

however, that he returned to the city on july 12th, from a frustrated effort to cover the battle of gettysburg. years later, he told his biographer that he had witnessed and sketched some of the violent events. if any of the 11 harpers engravings of the riot was based on nast's work, with a full illustration of the burning asylum, featured in the august 1st issue, nast knew him well, having lived on west 24th street in 1862. with an additional week for publication, and production for publication, the dramatic and detailed illustration capture the scale of the asylums flames, fronting fifth avenue, and was evocative of the events. more than in frank leslie's paper. it's delineation of the rioters as victims and the narrative, however, was less -- in accordance with stories of news engravings, the picture compressed and extended the events. but aside from the very few women shown among riders, and spectators in the foreground, the engraving presumably based on that sketch also portrayed scattered impacts on african american children fleeing the burning building. wards escape via a side entrance,

. >> well we were not a nation and lincoln in the gettysburg address, our fathers brought forth and on this continent a new nation but in the brought together a federation of sovereign states much like the confederacy of 1861. the league of nations and take a bit of almost take to get us to the constitution, is really the constitution that you're asking about and how long did the founders think the constitution would last read and jefferson that should last no more than ten years, every ten years and should be redone in every generation needed to rethink it every generation needs to be sovereign and of course that could have been of recipe for anarchy and is not happy with it. medicine himself was asked the question in 1829, how long will it last. he's no man by then he said if you're really lucky, 100 years so that would've meant 1929 so the question is, the founders would be stunned that we still have the same document that they drafted and obviously with amendments and they would've thought that we would have at least one or two or three major revisions and i'm showing my bias here

we know however he returned to the city july 12th from a frustrated effort to cover the battle of gettysburg. and years later he told his biographer that he had witnessed and sketched some of the violent events. if any of the 11 harpers engravingings of the riot was based on his work, it was the full page illustration of the burning asylum featured in the august 1st issue. nass knew the asylum very well. with an additional week for publication and for production for publication, the dramatic and detail captures the scale and was more evocative of the event than the pictures of leslies and the illustrated news. its delineation of the rioters and victims and the narrative it conveyed, however, was less reliable. in accordance with the story telling the picture book compressed and extended the narrative of the event into one image. but aside from the very few women shown among rioters and spectators in the foreground, the engraving presumably based on nass' sketch also portrayed scattered attacks on african-american children fleeing the building. the young wards escaped via a side entrance wher

however, that he returned to the city on july 12th from a frustrated effort to cover the battle of gettysburg. and years later he told his bioer if that he had witnessed -- biographer that he had witnessed and sketched some of the violent events. if any of the 11 harper's engravings of the riot were basedded on nast's work, it was the full-page illustration featured in the august 1st issue. nast knew the asylum neighborhood well having lived on west 44th street until 1862. with an additional week for publication and production for publication, the dramatic and detail thed illustration captured the scale of the asylum's grounds fronting fifth avenue and was more evocative of the events than the pictures in leslie's and the illustrated news. its delineation of the rioters and victims and the narrative it conveyed, however, was less reliable. in accordance with the story-telling strategies of news engravers, the picture both compressed and extendedded the narrative of the event into one image. but aside from the very few women shown among rioters and and spectators in the foreground, the engravi

now however we returned to the city on july 12th from a frustrated effort to recover the battle of gettysburg and years later told his biographer he hao witnessed and sketched some of the violent events. if any of the eleven harpers engraves of the riot was based on nasty's work. it was the full stage illustration of the burning ail asylum featured in the august issue. >>tr the central illustration w more evocative of the event than the pictures in leslies and illustrative news. its delineation of rioters and victims and a the narrative it conveyed however was less reliable. in accordance with the story telling strategies. but aside from the few women showed monk rioters and spectators in the foreground, engraving presumably based on nast's sketch also portrayed african american children fleeing the burninged building. the 233 young wards escaped via a side entrance where they were threatened by the crowd but not physically attacked. whatever the qualityir of the illustration, americans were ableh to view pictorial coverag of the riots within several days of their end. contending with the bar

the clock, brian, there is been a moment on a second day and gettysburg where that clock moves within 15 seconds of midnight. within a few minutes of the republican extinguish. we are in trouble. we have a real life autocratic movement, we have a political party that seems committed to the project of taking power, regardless of what the results are. -- marie and that's who have been poisoned over the last year. so we're in trouble. but, in the end, what is always been the case is democracies rallied late, in defense, facing these types of movements. but it's a series moment. >> why in your view, we've heard you ran throughout the just now, has there been such an appalling lack of consequences, and is it the cost of good intentions as always say is it because democrats, culturally tend to be former suiting council presidents, who just happened to be involved in a gun fight with killers every day? >> we've had some hard-core democrat leaders in this country's history, who haven't lacked for toughness in the moment. in the aftermath of the second world war when he was writing his memoirs

tonight he will be giving a speech in gettysburg, pennsylvania to a group of republicans there showing he doesn't seem to be all that concerned as to what is happening here in washington. >> or trying to convey that at least. ryan nobles from capitol hill, thanks so much. here to discuss democratic congresswoman madeline dean, vice chair of the house judiciary committee. the house is voting right now we are told that the -- there are eight republicans who have voted along with the democrats to refer the matter of criminal contempt of congress to the department of justice. they include not surprisingly liz cheney, adam kinzinger, but also congressman upton of michigan, meyer of minnesota, gonzalez of ohio, katko of new york, mace of south carolina, and your fellow suburban philadelphian congressman fitzpatrick of pennsylvania. what is your reaction to the vote so far? >> i am not surprised it is along party lines and i am pleased we have at least eight republicans who see the truth, who recognize the essential oversight role that congress plays, and that we should not be fooled with by

clock, brian, there is a moment on the second day at gettysburg where that clock moves within 15 seconds of midnight, within a few minutes of the republic being extinguished. we are in trouble. we have a real-live autocratic movement alive and well in the united states. we have a political party that seems committed to the project of taking power regardless of what the results are. this all rests on faith and belief, and that's what's been poisoned over the last year. so we're in trouble. but in the end what has always been the case is democracy's rally late in defense faced with these types of movements. but it's a serious moment. >> why, in your view, having heard your answer out just there, has there been such an appalling lack of consequences, and is it the cost of good intentions? as i always say, is it because democrats culturally tend to be former student council presidents who just happen to be involved in a gun fight with killers every day? >> we've had some hard-core democratic leaders in this country's history who haven't lacked for toughness in the moment. in the aftermath of

he's also co-author of last road north, the book on the gettysburg campaign, co-author of immediately coming up book on ohio and introduce paintballs who's here to talk about the man we love to hate, john pope so here is dan welch, a man with too many class and not enough free time. [laughter] [applause] >> good evening, everyone. one of the things i've not shared with a lot of you is my absolute love of the sovereign rock bands leonard skynyrd. [applause] -fortunate to meet some of the plane crash survivors who visited all the graves of those who perished october 1977, i've heard wonderful stories from some of their former managers and group is one of the stories i heard as he was getting popular, 70s wearing on their fame was rising, a lot of acts they would open talk to their manager and say don't let them close with freeburg, who can't top that. this would be from plans like peter and the rolling stones and now i know exactly the situation they were in trying to follow gary gallagher but in all honesty, i want to begin tonight by thinking my colleagues and all the members for thei

several people close to steve bannon on the day that the house voted to hold him in contempt, he was in gettysburg giving a speech at a local republican party dinner. the day they recommended to hold him in contempt, he was watching msnbc, in fact, and he was -- he spent zero time on this. it's all handled by his lawyers. if there's one person in washington who is not concerned by the house select committee's investigation, it is steve bannon. >> kind of stunning. i'm curious, though, what information could he have since he wasn't officially with the trump administration on january 6th? >> so, i think steve bannon played a really key role in the events of january 6th, and this is why the select committee is so focused on his testimony and documents that he can provide and this is why they took this aggressive step to hold him in criminal contempt. it's because he served, according to our reporting at least, as the liaison between far-right groups and the trump campaign and the white house itself. and i think there's more reporting to come here and there's more investigating to be done. steve banno

it was tested at gettysburg, antietam, shilo, and the wilderness. it was defended at anzio, iwo jima and normandy, and was reaffirmed in 1965. it's an idea that the people, all the people are the ultimate source of power and can govern themselves through their elected representatives. that was a radical notion in 1776. the historical norm is just the opposite. kings, pharaohs, dictators, czars, warlords, emperors, and more recently presidents for life. throughout most of human history and right up to the present day in most countries, the people have little or no say in the decisions that determine their fate. and these rulers are rarely, if ever, beneficent. in fact, again the historical norm is just the opposite. pervasive corruption, the pursuit of power for its own sake, the crushing of dissent, sham elections, and the abuse or even elimination of anyone not sufficiently loyal or useful to the leader. that's the historical norm. there's nothing surprising about this because it reflects human nature. history fairly shouts at us that power corrupt

we have taken that rhetoric though and it was amplified really by abraham lincoln in the gettysburg address and we said that's what we should be like. we should everybody equal, equal opportunity. we use this rhetoric of the founding fathers to give us a dream of what we can go towards and we've been instructed t there. for example, take sexual preference. there's a big chapter in there about that fight. it's hard to remember this but it was true that in the 1950s or 40s, and if you were gay you could be fired for being gay, , not readily engaged in connecting think of just for being gay you are fired. sometimes put in jail. just amazing that with this kind of situations and obviously we live through the civil rights revolution and it's hard to believe before 1964 there was no ability to have people eat wherever they want to eat or shop wherever they want to shop. it was incredibly difficult environment in a situation. we have needed perfect yet but clearly we have made progress. that struggle is one where many people gave their lives for the struggle and many people really fought hard to m
