2011. It is about an hour. Thank you very much. It is wonderful to be here again. I love this venue. I get lots of good questions, which we will save time for at the end. This is an interesting occasion for me. This is the first time i have been in front of an audience talking about Andrew Johnson. Forgive me if i say jefferson occasionally. I had to write that and do a spell check to make sure i didnt have jefferson where i should have had johnson, because the temptation was actually quite great. If someone had told me a number of years ago that i would have written a book about Andrew Johnson, i would have said you are crazy. Its not that i dont think hes interesting. He really is. Not that i didnt know anything about him. But for most of my career as a historian, i have tried to avoid the period of reconstruction. It sounds strange for someone who writes about slavery, which is a difficult topic to write about, but i find it easier to deal with the 17th century and 18th century, and
We are talking about at a given moment but keeping you on track with market averages and how they are doing today and how they have been doing over the very last couple of rough days and how they are your today and certainly from the march 23 lows. We have come back for example s p 500 tech sector came back about 70 from those low so even with the ground a loss we are still up in that sector north of 30 year to date with all that die ration so we will keep giving you all of that perspective as well. Also, looking at whats happening with Political Development that may or may not move the markets we will get into the employment report that looks good on the surface, still looks good, but right now its being ignored for other features such as the technology downdraft. Always going into the Labor Day Weekend you worry about these things were seated people locked themselves in place and thats a traditional argument you here, but regardless, we will keep you uptodate on this as we expect to
I was walking out of the office listening to an interview of former general mccaffrey and cohen, former secretary of defense. I want to speak a little bit to what they talked about. The revelations about President Trumps disregard for our military and our veterans. Quite frankly, if what is written in the atlantic is true, it is disgusting. It affirms what most of us believe to be true, that donald trump is not fit to be the commanderinchief. The president reportedly said, and i emphasize, that those who signed up to serve instead of doing something more lucrative are suckers. Let me be really clear. When my son was an u. S. Attorney and he volunteered to go to kosovo while the war was going on as a civilian, he was not a sucker. Volunteered and joined the United States military as the attorney general and went to iraq for a year and won another brown store accommodation, he was not a sucker. He servicemen and women served with, particularly those who did not come home, were not losers
Good afternoon, folks. Sorry i am a little late. I was member mesmerized. I was walking out of the office, listening to an interview of and theeneral mccaffrey former secretary of defense bill cohen. I want to speak about what they revelations and the disregardnt trumps of our military and veterans. Frankly, if what was written in the atlantic is true, it is disgusting and confirms what we believe to be true. President trump is not fit to be the commanderinchief. The president reportedly said that those who signed up to serve, instead of doing something more lucrative, are suckers. Let me be real clear. Volunteered when the war was going on. And as a civilian, he was not a sucker. To joinson volunteered the United States military as the attorney general and went to iraq for a year and won the bronze star and other accommodations, he was not a sucker. Servicemen and women he served with, particularly those who did not come home, were not losers. If these statements are true, the preside
