this is where george washington would, and worship. mount vernon, washington's home, is less than 10 miles from alexandria. mount vernon was preserved by women. during the civil war, sarah tracy was the secretary for mount vernon, and she helped preserve this home during the war. sarah tracy made sure that soldiers on either side of the war were able to come in and visit washington's home. this was especially important because both sides, the confederacy and the union, saw washington is the founder of their country. tracy did have stipulations for soldiers that would come into mount vernon. they had to be unarmed, and they also could not be wearing their uniforms. they would find any means to cover up, rather in shawls or -- whether in shawls or different clothing. so, sarah tracy kept money in the herbert bank, that was to be used to purchase mount vernon from the washington family, but but during the war, union troops decided that they wanted that money for themselves. sarah tracy refused and said she would move the money into riggs

she went into washington, d.c., she met with mr. riggs, where she sold these eggs to him, and she made sure the transaction was legitimate because she received a receipt for the sale of these eggs. thanks to sarah tracy and the movement of this money, we are able to still visit and enjoy mount vernon today. not only were women nurses during the war, not only were they entrepreneurs, having jobs , selling items, but women were also soldiers in the war. however, they had to do this in a disguise. it was entirely frowned upon for women to join the war as soldiers. so that's why they had to dress up in men's uniforms. women would dress up on either side of the war, both confederacy or the union, as soldiers so they could fight along with their brothers, husbands, along their families, and also fight for the cause of the war. one woman in particular is sarah emma edmonds. she also went by frank thomas. she was one of the soldiers who was very open about being a woman soldier, especially after the war. and after the war, she would dress i

washington appointed him. we have this regular creature serving as secretary of foreign affairs even though there was no statute. that's the story. i'm going to return to the story in a moment but i'm now going to turn to john marshall. in the early days he was a distinguished virginia lawyer who favored the constitution and eventually served in the first congress. george washington hired him as a lawyer and asked him to become the us attorney for virginia. john marshall turned him down. later he was offered position of atty. general. and john marshall turned him down, and then george washington said will you preserve as ambassador to france? and john marshall turned him down. instead he concentrated on his successful and lucrative private practice and argued the case against the supreme court but he impressed everyone that hurt his arguments. marshall finally agreed to become one of the emissaries sent to france to handle the troubles we were having. france was waging a war against the united states. john ada

what would he do to washington? >> is the intergovernmental panel on climate change correct when it says we need to phaseout coal or is the president correct when he says we need to burn more? ms. schrier: this is a critical issue and i should word from the washington conservation voters -- they have endorsed me because they know i take this seriously and i will be a champion for climate action and he has a zero rating. i look at this as a pediatrician and a mom and how will -- what our actions today mean for generations beyond. as a person with a background in science, i am frustrated that this has become a political issue. this is a place where we have an opportunity to be a leader for the country and the world on how you can grow and economy and do the right thing for the environment. that starts with not subsidizing the fossil fuel industry or supporting coal and it means investing instead in clean energy technology like wind and sun and infrastructure and jobs, like the ones students here are studying for in th

there is in action in washington, d.c. it is so deeply dysfunctional right now in washington, d.c. i had to leave to protect our immigrant families by establishing sanctuary state. this is important, there is a contrast, in terms of leadership. had the senior citizen -- had they been successful in prohibited the establishment of sanctuary cities in washington, d.c., i'm glad she didn't follow through. i would have been able to protect california families by senate billrd with 54, the california values act. pulled out president the paris accord, i had to double down 100% clean energy. now, california is the largest economy on the senate to mandate 100% clean energy. this is something that can be done for the nation. regardless of partisanship and ideology. at the end of the day, we still breathed the same, dirty, crappy air into our lungs. pollution and climate change does not discriminate. it does discriminate against people of color and those among the poorest. they take the brunt of the consequences of climate change. on the issue of immigration, we have no other choice. i do agr

and we don't need that in washington, d.c.. i'm willing to work with trump when he's right and oppose him when he's right -- when he's wrong. and i've got a record of that, as i say. we had a gop bill that i ended up opposing, and that was because it wasn't good for orange county. i have opposed his, president trump's attorney general on cannabis because that's a decision the should be made locally -- >> but you took an oath to the constitution of the united states to uphold the law. so if he broke louis, are you saying -- laws, are you saying he won't -- >> let me note you're breaking the rules just by -- >> and you broke the rules by bringing notes. >> yeah. >> moderator: well, let me -- since i can direct the questions, let me direct that to you about your feeling on his law breaking and also maybe more specifically -- because, you know, there are many democrats who say they will vote to impeach trump. if that vote were there, how would you vote on that? >> well, i've been consistent all along on my position, and my position

vice president might pan said washington is ready to assist in finding out what has happened to jamal khashoggi. last question the follow up if the saudis were to request our f.b.i. dispatched technicians to the consulate would they do so i think the united states of america stands ready to assist in any way but as i said yesterday the free world deserves answers the report that a saudi arabian journalist may have been tragically murdered. in turkey. should be deeply concerning to everyone and cherishes the freedom of the press and human rights let's check in with kimberly how could on this one outside the white house complete twenty four hours ago you and i were talking and all we had was donald trump saying i'll talk to the fact that some point and i don't know anything a lot is developed in that time. lot has developed but in terms of any sort of phone call and readout from the white house we have not received anything here from the white house press corps what i can tell you is that when the president left the white house yesterday when he was en route to a rally a campaign rally

washington d.c. but in this case the facts just speak louder. or than any lobbyist campaign contributions or any p.r. spokespersons talking points possibly could so what good does that do us no donald trump says he's expecting a port in the case he will come under pressure from senators to make it public when he receives it only seems reluctant to take action against the country he's built up as a friend and an ally he might be left with no choice but to at. washington on the member of the u.s. senate foreign relations committee jeff flake says arms sales to saudi arabia should end if the kingdom is involved in crucial g.'s mota with the apparent brutal murder murder of journalist jamal khashoggi some of the some of the real enemies of the people and enemies of freedom seem to have taken license to eliminate a man that their regime viewed as a threat mr president we need to know exactly what happened in that saudi consulate in turkey earlier this month put bluntly we cannot do business with the saudi

diehl: it is disappointing to see how washington is mentioning now. i don't follow the same path the president does on how i legislate, how i deal with people but at the same time my opponent has made comments that are disturbing as well. she said anybody who voted for the president was part of an ugly stew of racists. she said if republicans want to fix healthcare that we wanted blood money from the american people. he called to abolish ice. when you have rhetoric that undercuts law enforcement you end of having people like a cambridge support of her support a $500 bounty of someone would shoot somebody from ice. that is hello things have gotten. i went to be a different voice. i have not acted like that. i certainly won't follow the path of senator warner and the limiting and pitting us together. that is not what the country needs right now and i want to make sure when i go to washington we followed by example on that. at the same time if you look at the president and his track record we are finally seeing economic benefits from him being an office.
