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

washington makes mistakes. he just he's a surveyor so he should know land right he should be able to read the ground. battle of long island. he misreads the ground he gets out flanked his army gets mauled he makes mistakes that brandywine fort washington on the current upper west side of manhattan. he misreads that 3,000 american troops, november 19, 176 are trapped and killed or captured. he's not a great field marshal. he is not a great captain eisenhower's the same way eisenhower's straits and messina a battle of sicily. he doesn't see what's happening in front of him. four german divisions are going to get away and we're going to fight them over and over and over again on the mainland of italy. he's at feliz with bradley. he doesn't really see what's happening at filez that the encirclement is not complete. okay, i could go on but that's not really his job. eisenhower's job. his job is to be a supreme commander his job is to hold together this fractious international coalition against all of the centrifugal

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

i'm back in washington 1977. i go into the washington bureau of the new york times. i sit down they give me a desk. i look around there's a young woman sitting next to me on recognize introduce myself says her name is judy miller. i said, i don't know your byline. you knew the papers. she said yes, and i said where she used to work. and she says national public radio, and i said george. what's that? because i had no idea it had been in an existence for six years, but for four of those years we had been in europe. but she had the radio experience. so i just said that i instinct was that that is best place for my wife to work. that's perfect. what do i do? i've got a wife crying ourselves to sleep and bethesda every night and she said and judy said call my friend nina totenberg who then and still today supreme court correspondent and i i called nina. she says i know who you are. get me cookies resume tomorrow. i walked a resume from the new york times bureau around the block to npr and i handed it to nina totenberg and nina as i said earlier nina understood the old gir

"the washington post" reports the washington football team will reveal its new name and logo on february 2nd. yesterday the team said the name will not be the wolves or the red wolves because of trademark issues. some of the finalists include the commanders, the defenders, the presidents, and the current washington football team. the organization dropped its previous name in 2020 after decades of complaints that it was racist toward native americans. >>> "the oklahoman" says nearly 600 amazon packages were discovered dumped in a wooded area near oklahoma city. sheriff's deputies found the most were opened, and the contents of many were missing. >> we don't know exactly what was in the packages. it's going to take a long time to sort through that and figure out what was stolen and the amount, the value of what was stolen. again, there were a bunch of books left behind. we don't know about that. >> investigators say the packages were on their way from an amazon facility to the u.s. postal service, but they never arrived. they were supposed to have been delivered by christmas. >>> and the "

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

let's go to brian 1st in washington. i sent him an introduction where we had 2 weeks of high level of everyone's positioning. i think what we know, and what we now know is how, how much both sides disagree with each other on certain particular issues. li, 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 designed 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 me

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
