leslie is nancy during shade at it clear to green deal, no knows what it is that they are for it. >> carbon emissions, no use of fossil fuels in 12 years. >> that is the goal. >> that would mean no cars and airports -- airplanes, and shutting down the energy sector, putting 6 million -- people out of work immediately. then 2017, the u.s. led world in reducing carbon emissions. why do you need to government to interfere when you see natural gas getting it done? host: janet redman of greenpeace. it is all about climate denial in my opinion. thing wehe important have to remember is climate change is real and here and need to address it in real-time. while the green new deal proposal is a dream and aspirational and that is what is exciting about it. let me give you a chance to talk about solutions. she remembers what 2010 whenn 2009 and the democrats controlled the presidency in both chambers of congress and they decided to pass the trade bill. at the beginning of that, most americans thought it sounded good. ite they understood that raised the energy crisis, it became very unpopular and

here is alexander gardner's photo of the hanging, at fort leslie j mcnair, still next to the old officer's club. the government has restored what was the room used for the trial, for the military tribunal. after booth assassinated president lincoln, president johnson was sworn in as new commander in chief. president johnson was a war democrat from tennessee, the only sitting u.s. senator from the south who would remain loyal to the union. during the reconstruction, radical republicans accused johnson of being too lenient for former confederates. president johnson opposed the 14th amendment, and told southern states not to adopt it. the civil rights act of 1866, still on the books today, still good law, granted full legal citizenship to anyone born in the united states, save native americans. that would not happen until the 1920's. the bill was seen as a natural next step after the 13th amendment, but president johnson believed it was an encroachment on rights, so he vetoed the bill. on april 8, 1866, the congress overrode president johnson's veto of the bill, the first presidential veto in

alexander, international director for the tennessee department of economic and community development. i want to frame this discussion a little bit more. i'm a consultant and i can't help but some data on some powerpoint slides. i want to share with you some research we have done. a few years ago, we did a survey of over 2900 global executives. we asked the reasons why these executives and their companies were seeking new locations. the number one reason was to reach new markets or customers, as you can see on this chart. no other answer came close, including seeking locations that had a lower cost profile. we also asked these executives what criteria they used to pick specific locations. the most important by far was the size and growth potential of a local economy. that is what executives care about. half the executive also cared about two components like talent and the availability of an industry cluster, supply chain customers need to be nearby. rounding out the top five were infrastructure and local politics. this is what matters to companies. what is not on this slide is 14% of

let me thank anthony and leslie kale for singing the national anthem. let me thank the sean michael darken bands. let me thank james alexander for his remarks and let me thank sarah trombone for introducing me. most of all, thank you all very much for being out this afternoon to complete the political revolution and transform this country. and i want to emphasize that what this campaign is about is not just winning the democratic nomination. it is not just defeating donald trump, the most dangerous president in modern american history, but it is about all of us, not me -- us -- transforming this country. that is what this is about. this weekend, i will be not only here in wisconsin, but in indiana, ohio, michigan, and pennsylvania. four years ago, despite losing the popular vote by 3 million votes, donald trump carried all of those states and won enough electoral votes to be elected president. together, we are going to make sure that that does not happen again. we are going win here in wisconsin. we are going to win in indiana. we are going win in ohio.

and leslie marshall. let me say it again. linda is 50. her boyfriend charlie is 20. how in the world did this match made in heaven actually happen? well, linda hogan tells her sweet story to "inside edition," and it's a winner. >> how did you meet? >> on the beach. i said, whoa, what's that? he's so hot looking. i'm like dang, you know. >> dang, you know. megan, i've got to go to you first. you were asking the questions. what was your reaction when you heard that? it was so schoolgirlish and he was 20 and he was younger at the time. was it hard to keep a straight face? >> you know, it was, a.j., and that's a 3-0, 30-year age difference. going into it, of course, i was skeptical. 50-year-old linda is dating a man who's the same age as her daughter and son basically. i was prepared to ask tough questions. i was not going to judge anyone. you never know what a relationship is like until you get to know people. the initial picture was rather shocking but after talking to them i asked some tough questions, a.j., and i think charlie actually is a pretty nice guy and it see

group for the north dakota trade office and last but not least we have leslie alexander, international director for the tennessee department of economic and community development. but before getting to the panelists, i want to frame this. discussion just a little bit more. forgive me, i can't help but pu some data on power point slidesc so i wanted to share with you a little bit of some research that we at mckenzie have done. a few years ago we did a survey over 2,900 global company executives. we asked first the reasons for o why thesene executives and thei companies were seeking new locations. by far and away the number one reason was to reach new markets or customers as you can see on this chart. no other answer came even close including, i might add, seeking locations that had a lower cost profile. we also asked these executives s what criteria they used to choose specific locations.wth po the most important, again, by far and away was the size and growth potential of a local economy. that's what executives cared about.and than half of the executives also ome cared about key compon

so, leslie alexander with the state of tennessee. i want to say thank you to our governor who is a big proponent of obviously foreign direct investment into the state of tennessee, but also workforce development. and our commissioner of economic and community development, randy boyd, was first tasked before he came to the state with developing a stronger workforce, identifying how to develop a stronger workforce. but i'm going to hold those two things on the side and talk a little bit about our strengths as a state as that's what we're here to do as well. but also talk about some of the similarities. we're talking about the united states of america here as well, and foreign direct investment into the united states. one thing i love about the panel and my colleagues here is that, yes, we are all landlocked. and so when you look at it from a logistics perspective, we provide a really unique perspective. we're not on the coast. we don't have a big port for someone to come into. we logistically have very unique attributes. and tennessee

leslie to lead innovation of the chesapeake. the fleet is supporting the army. they are not initiating strategy. they are not taking strategic operation. leslie took the fleet and went to charleston to aid cornwallis in his campaign and the carolinas. when germane learned that clinton had again failed to establish a base in the chesapeake, he wrote the general a scathing letter. he asserted the king had commanded him that you carry out the chesapeake project when the king's service require it. when hostilities had broken out in massachusetts in 1775, the british royal navy was one of the most military -- powerful military forces in history, if not the most powerful. they have 131 ships of the line. they had a massive industrial complex, infrastructure, if you will. it was composed of dockyards needed to support the bluewater war in european waters. warships in the age of sail were intended to be self-sufficient for several months. drinking water was a serious problem in areas like virginia, where it is hot in the summer. water w

the britain concern was a colonel called lieutenant colonel alexander leslie and is an important figure in the story though rather neglected because he was the senior british army officer in boston on the night of december 16, 1773. and he commanded the 64th regiment afoot which was located on castle william, the island in the harbor. he wasn't allowed to be in boston itself because he didn't have orders from governor thomas hutchinson to put his men into the city. so he had to stay out there somewhat frustratedly on the castle island. now, the 64 foot was supposed to have 500 or 600 men on its strength but didn't, only had 3400 plus a small battery of field guns and not much ammunition because in peacetime, and it was peacetime, they weren't supposed to have their ammunition and supposed to be down in new york at the arsenal several hundred miles away. you can imagine the lieutenant colonel leslie was feeling rather frustrated about all this. he came from a very distinguished scottish military family. he was the brother of the sixth earl of levin, otherwise known as the leslie family,

bowman it is okay to mention alexander hamilton in charlottesville. in a year in which one of the founders of our country has entered into the popular consciousness and the popular conversation, i think it is fantastic that so many young people, people from across the country, from around the world are interested in the first secretary of the treasury. i was talking to a group of young college students, women from other countries who were living in new york for a year, and they said, we want to go to a broadway show and what should we see? i said, maybe you would want to see the show hamilton. what is it about? i said, the first treasurer of the united states. they looked at me and thought, why would we want to see a show about a bureaucrat. no, it is a great show, has hip hop, lyrics. whether they went or not i don't know. i was motivated when i was working as director of the national museum of american history, i met so many people from around the world who came to discover american history at the smithsonian. after we reopened the museum after a tw
