ralph in washington, d.c. on our line for independents. good morning. caller: good morning. there are too many points i would like to make. number one, when russia folded, we had an unwritten agreement that we would not put nato up to their borders. i cannot understand what is so important about the ukraine. we have nato troops close to the border in a couple places already. you have to remember russia lost 60 million people during world war ii. their country was devastated. their paranoia about having a superpower on their border is powerful -- tolerable -- palatable. the second thing, on january 9 -- i just came across a report that is very interesting. they have these four guys with bullhorns who were telling people to go and storm the capitol building, telling people to go in there and take it, telling people to cause all kinds of problems. they were people in the crowd going, "you're a plant." it turns out these four people were never arrested. unfortunately for the fbi, they are all sorts of record showi

we call you the washington whisper. you have been covering washington for so long. you said president biden's three decades of experience is actually working against him. tell us more about that. >> i associate myself with those remarks. the president basically acknowledged he had underestimated the depth of republican obstruction. he had worked with mitch mcconnell before. he really knows how to do it. that turned out to be a disadvantage. evaluate -- ew he would be able to engage with congress and sort all this out. congress is always a mess. i think you are seeing a recognition right now from the white house to rise above it. saying we need to get out in the country more. that is a classic statement from an administration that is struggling in washington. they don't need to replay every negotiation and phone call that happened with joe manchin. that makes it look like you're not getting things done. they are in a fix on their agenda. yamiche: one of the times -- things they are trying to get done is voting rights. president biden promised to do more to reach out

washington's aspiration was to make a residence. but a residents that also had a public aspect to it. it was supposed to be more than just a house was supposed to be the house somebody of some importance. oops, and hopefully yep. there we go. okay, so the other place where it would have appeared. is in this building the governor's palace? at williamsburg colonial capital, which of course washington would have known. where the the this cupola signaled the presence of an important residents president, so wasn't just a house. it was the governor's palace and so he seems to echo this echo that feature in the design of this house. but in other respects, he really is placing some distance between himself. and this colonial monument, which is something that jefferson who was educated in williamsburg also did they were attempting to establish a language for american architecture. that was neoclassical it drew uncertain british examples, but it was really trying to create a distance. from the colonial architecture of that pre-revolutionary p

go to brian 1st in washington. i sent him an introduction where we've had 2 weeks of high level and everyone's positioning. i think what we know now, what we now know is how, how much both sides disagree with each other on certain particular issues. nato expansion over the weekend. we have this story come out of the u. k, where the u. s. are confirmed without sourcing it in the public anyway that russia has designs for regime change and again, no details provided. at the end of last week i talked to a lot number of experts and too much to my surprise. so someone were a little bit more optimistic than usual that yes, there hasn't been a breakthrough, but maybe that's a good thing. and then we have this over the weekend, and now we have evacuations from embassies here where we stand after 2 weeks. go ahead. well, i don't think we stand in a far different place than we were at the beginning of this period 2 weeks ago. i'm in washington d. c. what an uproar over the evacuation of the u. s. embassy, and you have, i mean

in the washington post or somewhere. that's an excerpt from a book. how important is that revelation that shock moment in a book? you know, it depends on the kind of book if you know, we would do a lot of history do a lot of pop science. what do things outside of politics that don't need a big flashy excerpt or you know, a push notification via the washington post that this bombshell book is now out or you know something on the drudge report. i think it's more important for political books to have that kind of coverage and sort of sequencing, you know a publicity campaign, so that parts of the book come out, you know when the author and and when the publisher wants it to rather than having it leak out which happens, you know particularly on these highly anticipated political books, you know oftentimes the guardian will get a copy early and and sort of discord all the contents all the the newsy tidbits out there and when that happens i think it you know, authors aren't generally happy so we try to get ahead of that and pl

washington says how do i hold the army together against this and there were times when washington found himself having to shoot soldiers for desertion but it's not as if they were to go join the british, it was to try to feed their family. so many people on both sides, the loyalists and patriots side lost so much in terms of their homes and their farms and resources. the winners took all and had a very little sympathy for example for loyalists who had lost everything so i wonder if you can talkk a little bit about the post war relations between the patriotshe and loyalists. whether it took new forms in american society that would leave a legacy behind and maybe we are still dealing with today. >> i'm going to look at two examples of what happened with the loyalists. joseph brant was a leader of the mohawk tribe of indians, of the confederacy, and he was a talented young man people had a scene from the time he was young. he became a leader of the mohawks just about the time the troubles between the american colonies and the government were developing, and it looked as though the mohawks
