listen to washington's words. the alternate domestic nation of one faction over another sharpened by the spirit of revenge is itself a frightful despotism, and opens the door to corruption which finds a facilitated access through the channels of party passions. thus the policy and the will of one country subjected to the policy and will of another. no action of washington's did more to avert dictatorship than the voluntarily retirement at the end of two terms. the poet robert frost said he was one of the few in the history. world not carried away by power. the man who could have been king insisted ultimate sovereignty lay with the people, however imperfect their judgment. the 1796 campaign to succeed washington did little to encourage the friends of democracy. long before the first negative commercial hit the nation's airwaves thomas jefferson was branded a coward and infidel, whose election warned one connecticut newspaper would guarantee that quote, murder, robbery and rape and adultery and insist will be openly

he's driven washington out. so, it looks like new york, or at least this part of new york, is now out of the game. now, general howell is proceeding to roll out new jersey. >> now, just a quick question. what were their troops, the differences between how many troops and how well off they were? >> right, right. well, during the battles of new york, washington has 19,000 troops, most of them are militia. most of them have never fought before. the british have 32,000. british and also heshams described as mercenaries which isn't quite right. these were mercenaries who served their princes. they were small german principals. they would contract to have their armies fight in wars of other countries. if you were a hesham soldier, you signed up, you fought in the battles your prince, your sovereign, arranged for you to fight. over the course of the war, the british paid 7,000 pounds for the service of these soldiers. i did the math and it was like 2 $360 million. now, the federal government loses $360 million in the c

washington had about 2400 men, 18 cannons, 100 horses. washington was hoping to have everybody across by midnight. it wasn't until about 4:00 the next morning on december 26, the army was across and ready to march to trenton. the prelude to our story is the new york campaign in the summer and fall of 1776. the british landed an army on staten island shortly after the declaration of independence. there were a series of battles defeats for general washington, , beginning with the battle of long island, followed by harlem heights, white plains, the capture in new york as well, and the defeats at fort washington and fort lee. really, fort lee was an abandoning of the fort and important supplies. and that began in late the november, retreat through new jersey. washington fell back through new jersey. because of the defeats, morale was sinking fast. he was counting on the new jersey militia as well as the pennsylvania militia to come forward and strengthen his army. they were not turning out in any significant numbers. he had to continue retrea

are conflicting reactions coming out of washington so if you read very carefully the washington post article in which was quoted down there it's return flight. what do you actually think worth being nuclearization have to be and this sort of work because it taken this whole step could be nuclear if they think the us is open to talks preliminary talks during which of course you were out of there and the actual negotiations great great no greater than the one moment but go ahead go ahead go ahead mark just one more the precondition for negotiations is for north korea to spend. with other words give the united states what it wants privately. and even to begin ok well that's just great brian i mean the north koreans saw what happened to libya they saw what happened in iraq i mean why in the in a lot of people have speculated that's why they have gone down the nucular road ok i mean why in the world with the north koreans give up this program and expose themselves when they're being threatened with a bloody nose you know seven ways to sunday i mean the it's absurd what's coming out of was

treaties and washington's commission, washington's resignation document. obviously, most importantly, the declaration of independence. he took these documents, and he concluded that because the british believed a foundry close by would be too handy in providing munitions, he had the documents taken to leesburg, virginia where they could be stored in a secure place. he went to bed exhausted. that night, all the citizens of washington saw the city in flames. he recalled in exchange he had when taking the documents out of the state department into safekeeping. he ran into the secretary of war at the time who saw what he was doing and asked him why he was doing it. he felt he was being extremely alarmist. that washington was not going to be invaded by the british. he said that he felt it was a point of prudence to do it, and he carried on. if he had not secured those documents, today you would not be able to go to the national archive and see the declaration of independence or the constitution of the united states in its original form. all those other precious

washington nationals. that summer, the senators were ahead of the american league most of the time, but at the same time, the yankees were trying to creep in and take the lead in the american league. you see washington driving a car with a yankee coming in and saying, i like the front seat and washington saying i am not through with the driving yet. and that year, a rarity for washington sports fans, the senators went on to win the world series over the new york giants. this next cartoon, when he was trying this, he was thinking about federal workers in particular. every year when congress goes to do appropriations, they decide if they are going to give a cost of living adjustment to government workers. he shows the government worker trying to steer through increased rent, increased cost of clothing, increased cost of food, and he his stick is a salary scale from 50 years ago. perhaps his favorite topic was washington weather. he loved to draw washington weather. we love to talk about washington weather. w

we sit here in washington at the small business event, is washington doing a good job creating the right atmosphere for the creation and development of small business? gov. snyder: moore can be done. in many respects, you get back to saying what is the regulatory environment, and we did those when i first became governor. system,hout the old tax put in a new one that was simple, fair and efficient. we have gotten rid of over 2000 regulations. there is a role for regulations. it is not just about getting rid of things, but doing it in a thoughtful fashion. it is about encouraging people to hire and to grow. there are great programs. there is something we created called pure michigan business connect, a matchmaking process where we don't spend government dollars, but we are the convener. we have brought small businesses with big companies and we have generated an incremental $5 billion worth of sales for small and medium-sized businesses in our state by doing this matchmaking. david: one of the things he mentioned you did in which again was taken of the deficit. as we sit in washington, we

a federal agency in washington, d.c. called the e.p.a. because it's all about power and jurisdiction. so the president on february 28, early in his time, in fact, he addressed a joint session of congress on february 28 in his office that day in the roosevelt room as well he signed an executive order and instructed me, scott, go fix that. go take care of this waters issue. guess what? that is what we're doing. no longer is a puddle, a dry creek bed or a drainage ditch going to be called a water of the united states. [applause] >> listen, make no mistake about it. it is not about water quality. it is not about that. it truly is about power and jurisdiction and oversight that was being stretched so far. can you imagine congress in 1972 if they wrote out a law called the clean water act looking at that definition of the water of the united states and saying you know what? as we adopt this law we want it to be interpreted to include a dry creek bed, a puddle, and a drainage ditch in utah, oklahoma, and texas. the answer would be no way. they d

most agencies in washington are constrained right now by this law from 1946. the updates that up and made have been fairly modest. they fixed the failure to look closely at how small businesses are impacted by proposed rules and things like that. what i am about is more fundamental. every agency that interfaces with the public and creates what is democratizing, the opportunity for the public to file something just by virtual -- to spare virtue of having a broadband connection. when he to make sure there is fraud prevention that we think about from the get-go. i'm open to any and always to come up with a good way to do that. i am jane smith paterson. , is itg of networks possible for you and the fcc to think about additional funding for health care connect being as though we are at a cap right now? getting to them with health care is going to be the way they get care. com. rosenworcel: you're absolutely right about that. there was a time when was reserved for our most rural areas where it was hard to get doctors and specialists to show. but the truth is telemed

and washington post - who heads amazon and now owns the washington post and is making it into a great newspaper, let me just say that. - fully agree. - we can talk about that later. but he said, "even in a competitive business, like journalism," which there's nothing more competitive, he said, "we need to spend less time "worrying about our competitors "and more time worrying about our customers." and that really went home to me. i think a lot of what we're seeing right now in our culture are, a lot of organizations, other than news organizations, they're worrying about, "how can i cut prices so i can sell it "for a lower price than my competitor?" when they should be thinking about, "what does our customer want?" "what does our customer need?" - focus on the product and not the price. - and i think that's a good lesson for all of us. - so, the first change i mentioned, i think the second change, related but separate, is that the default setting used to be, as recently as 10 years ago, that people trusted the media. and now the default setting is that people don't. when we wake up in

washington journal continues. congressman steve russell is a republican from oklahoma, a member of the house oversight and armed services committee. congressman, do you think we are in for another shutdown tonight? guest: i hope not. i think the last shutdown circus , people realize that was pretty silly. the house passed a very good measure, it fully funds our military and everything else was clean on it. to be pretty far removed on what is best for the country rather than for political posturing to say oh, how dare we fund our military for the rest of the year. we are going to shut down the government. that makes no sense to me. host: you call it a very good measure. sll the reporting today's i saying it is unlikely to get enough support in the senate for this two-year deal being put together. what do you think about that? guest: i think it is unfortunate. you see, i was a soldier most of my a dull life, and i have lived on the other side when we play these games here. people have no idea the impact that that ha

here we are with george washington. george washington, the first president of the united states. one of our founding fathers. and what we have for george washington is a copy from his library of a book called "an essay on human understanding" by john locke. that book was one of the ones used by the founding fathers. the ideas in that book from john locke are what, you know, go into the declaration of independence. so george washington's copy is from 1775. inside of both front covers of it is his personal bookplate and then on the title page of each one, he actually signed his name into it. which is apparently not common for him to have both of his bookplate and his signature. but what also makes these books unique is that these were owned by herbert hoover. herbert hoover purchased these at a bookstore in new york city about -- i'm not exactly sure what year. we haven't been able to figure that out. but about two blocks from where he lived in the waldorf towers is where that bookstore was located, but -- so the books were part of his -- washington's private library. they were sol
