george washington, james madison, thomas jefferson, andrew jackson, how they integrate in wrist lives off the backs of blac men, women, and children. tell the truth about george washington he is not heroic in the eyes of every black person in every native american in the country today. host: thank you, john. guest: let's talk about that. i am glad you brought that up. that is one of the things that is very vital to us. one of the chapters in this book is dealing with george washington's slavery and how he owned slaves. what they had you want to say to you is i appreciate you saying back, because you are right. you should never judge any of us, whether george washington, or myself, none of us are who we are on our worst day. there is a wonderful book out there right now about how george washington went after a runaway slave. . none of us are perfect if you

thomas jefferson did that i remember it well. because i covered it. the fact it is more unusual what is happening in the modern tv era. this is something bears watch

>> jimmy: no, thomas jefferson bought that whole area. >> thomas jefferson, that numb nuts. he likes to say all men were created equal, but if you ask me, he was created pretty stupid. jimmy. >> jimmy: yes, mr. president. >> how can you tell if thomas jefferson has been to your house? >> jimmy: i don't know, how can you tell if thomas jefferson has been to your house? >> the drain's clogged and your slaves are pregnant. >> jimmy: i don't mean to be rude but can we get back to the border? >> i believe we need strong national border security. >> jimmy: so you would support a wall between us and mexico then? >> sure, but more importantly, i would want a wall between us and california. i've seen some of those wiley ethnics from san diego. it's only a matter of time before they figure out how to cross the rockies and steal our jobs. >> jimmy: but mr. president, california is part of the united states too. in fact, we are in california right now. >> california? >> jimmy: yes. >> what in the hell is the matter with you people? i come back from the grave, and this whole country is d

you have thomas jefferson in the middle. jefferson is sand with which by enry knox, a member, and alexander hamilton, another member, and james madison. also, believed to be the only document that holds the presidents' signatures on it, and what's even more interesting about the document is, it was rediscovered, i guess you by an , in the 1960s intern who is going through an old vault during renovations and found a scroll rolled up with a red ribbon on it and opened it realized he had a national treasure on his hands. i would also like to point out bipartisan effort. the desire to explore, to support science was a bipartisan effort bringing together both the jeffersonians and the federalists at this moment. of our nother one treasures, another jeffersonian document just like we have the constitution and franklin's copy. we also have thomas jefferson's final draft of the declaration of independence. sent one copy to congress and then he sent a few others to friends. his this was sent to richard henry lee, a virginian. e had p

is the winner of the election of 1800, thomas jefferson, marshall's second cousin once removed. marshall detached him and jefferson hate them in return. marshall didn't hate many people here and jefferson hated a fair number of people, but marshall was always high on his list. and jefferson's mind, marshall would twist anything to a pre-determined conclusion. jefferson warned joseph story before he got on the court that you must never give a direct answer to any question that marshall asks he appeared if he asks me if the sun were shining i would say i don't know, sir. i cannot tell impaired marshal.jefferson was a demagogue, that he talked a great game about letting congress run things that he was secretly directing it behind the scenes in riding waves of popular sentiment to serve his own popularity. he also thought jefferson had been a disloyal secretary of state and the server in george washington's foreign policies with one hand while undermining them with another. so in march 1801, the one cousin, the new chief justice swears in the other cousin, the new president. marshal

incidentally, thomas jefferson is not a great speaker. he is a great writer, he is a phenomenal thinker, he is not the best at public oratory. so that may also have had something to do with him ending this tradition. but traditions of george washington don't die easily, because the two-term tradition that ends up being written into the constitution, nevertheless jefferson is able to end this tradition. when he stops appearing before congress, it will be well over 100 years before another president will appear before congress to deliver the state of the union. now here, presidents are freed from the burden of oral delivery, and as a result they become much more verbose. jefferson's first state of the union had just over 3000 words. this would swell to over 10,000 under millard fillmore, who appears from time to time, irregularly in this class. it would average about 19,000 under the progressive theodore roosevelt, and hit a high of 22,614 words under the conservative william howard taft. our most loquacious modern president is bill clinton

to thomas jefferson, it is their rematch. adams had been him narrowly in 1796. 1800 was a blue wave. jefferson won the white house and jeffersons party took both parties of congress from the federalist. so in this lame-duck., adams and his secretary of state are trying to fill the federal judiciary with federalists. then adams gets a letter from then-current chief justice ellsworth. ellsworth said he had gout and so he was leaving the job. and adams had to fill this post. so the name he sent to the senate was that of the first man to be chief justice of the united states, john j. the great spymaster, diplomat, federalist author pick chief justice from 1789 to 1795 and then, he is left to be governor of new york. adams sent the name to the senate and the senate confirms him. then they got a letter from j saying he wasn't going to take the job. jay said the federal judiciary lacks energy, wit and dignity. and he was not going to be chief justice again. so we have to imagine adams and john marshall sitting in adams office with t

jefferson. and jefferson made those comments over 200 years ago and in many ways the gentleman we honor today, jamal khashoggi, lived those words and died for those words and i think the best way that we can recommit ourselves to his memory and to that notion of security being intimately intertwined with the free press is to make sure that we all step up and do our part regardless of whether we served on the press side of the ledger or whether we serve on the other side as policymakers and i think that challenge is perhaps greater today than it's ever been in our lifetime, not only because of what we see around the world but i think it's fair to say and, frankly a bipartisan fashion that there has never been a time before in american history where we have not had an american president who also stands for those values. but today, we don't have those kinds of statements coming out of this white house. today when we see these , tragedies, we don't have a strong statement from an administration reaf

and yet thomas jefferson was a slave owner and thomas jefferson posted advertisements in the local newspapers seeking the return of slaves who ran away from him. still, there was an undercurrent that got louder and louder as time went by that slavery was actually a good thing. not just for white slave owners but for black slaves. mr. lincoln was very clear on that matter as he was on many others and put it succinctly better than anything else. he said, as you will remember, the goodness of slavery was a strikingly peculiar kind of goodness, because it is the only good thing which no man ever seeks the good for himself. in other words, show me the person who volunteers to be a slave, and i'll listen to your arguments about the virtue of slavery. and even the southern slave owners, you can hear them, i have a background as an english professor so i like to pay close attention to the words, they sort of give themselves away with the words. , one ofcharles pinckney the delegates from south carolina, after they wrote this into the constitution, we have attained a right to recover our slaves in wha

i will also quote thomas jefferson. who once wrote quote the first objective of our democracy should be to leave open all avenues to truth and the most effective way of doing that is through the freedom of the press. this is a journalists job. to do right for the people. so we must hold anyone who is accountable for this responsible. for me, it is more than just this, this sends a message to the rest of the world, to all totalitarian -- authoritarian regimes that are watching this here, you do not do this to journalist. as the congressman was pointing out, although thousands of people are imprisoned just doing their job or worse yet killed. it is up to us to preserve his legacy, this is a legacy that hold up our democratic values. heads daughter probably said it best, this is a promise that his light will never fade in his legacy will be preserved within it. this is our job right now in congress. i don't know what is going on around the world, but what is going on in our own country. so thank you very much for honoring

and there were others like thomas jefferson, all believing we could become a nation where people would be more important than anything else, and where the people could govern themselves. i think jefferson would have a lot to say today about those democratic principles he first taught. equal rights and equal opportunity for all. and abraham lincoln. why, lincoln has become a hero to the oppressed people all over the world because he lived and died for freedom and equality, and because he led the country through one of its greatest crisis. he believed the government of the people, by the people and for the people should not patricia -- perish from the earth. well, bill, washington, jefferson and lincoln are dead. they began our democracy, but they knew the job would have to be finished by those who lived after them, and they knew that this democracy would last only as long as its citizens were willing to keep working on it. it is our government, bill. from here on it's up to us.

to pay tribute they were and captured and enslaved until thomas jefferson says we are not a tributary nation we will take back our ship with this tiny flotilla with a 24 -year-old now officer and he is the man who under disguise leads the battle into the shores of tripoli into the harbor to recapture the uss he could not recapture it so because of that brave action he scuttles it the greatest act for weapon civilization thomas jefferson made him the youngest ever captain in history. as they try to point the finger shows the war with the jihadist movement do not begin on september 11th it is almost as old as the republic itself. >> that's amazing. the way you roll in that story in the message that it sends. so we have discussed a recurring theme in the book how "war is not just about guns and bombs when ideas kill. that was one of the important messages. talking about that all we want is a battle of wit. you also point out propaganda battered. >> absolutely. >>host: here with the cold war we touch upon that but what is a winning strategy? and with propaganda? describe that what is a wi

in 1801, thomas jefferson wrote to joseph priestley, an english theologian who came to this country in 1794, and he said, quote -- this is thomas jefferson -- we can no longer say there is nothing new under the sun, for this whole chapter in the history of mankind is new. once again, it's an enormous privilege for me to introduce our speakers, the two great historians who indeed are mindful of the future, have contributed greatly by their prodigious research to the past, and their exquisite writing and scholarship. ladies and gentlemen, joseph ellis and gordon wood. thank you. [ applause ] >> so we'll start with professor wood. there were two foundings, of course, the declaration declaring our independence and then the constitutional convention. so let's start with the first, with the declaration. what were some of the great challenges that led to the declaration and some of the great challenges during that summer in philadelphia? >> well, obviously, the declaration was an act ratifying the decision to break from great britain. john adams didn't think it was all that important. the imp

but they didn't get to adams before thomas jefferson was sworn in. and jefferson instructed james madison now his secretary of state, don't deliver these. marbury, this man marbury was a resident of maryland. a functionary, sort of a political person, a federalist. he had been appointed to a justice of the peace, four-year term. and he was one of those midnight appointees. and the story goes, that the person who had this group to deliver to the white house. got waylaid in old town alexandria. at a pub. imbibed a little too freely and couldn't make it out of bed the next day. never made it to washington. jefferson is sworn in. he gets these and jefferson says to madison, forget about it. don't appoint these people. well marbury brought this case and said hey, wait a minute, i got appointed by adams, you got to carry that out, you got to do that. so this case made it up to the supreme court. john marshall is chief justice. and marshall was worried. because jefferson is president. and he's worried that if he tells jefferson, he's got to do this that jef

the author of the bill thomas jefferson, considered it one of his greatest achievements. in fact, on his tomorrow stone it does not say he served as president of the united states. it says three things. that he authored the declaration of independence, that he founded the university of virginia and that he authored the virginia statute for religious freedom. when it is bill passed jefferson was in france. for those that saw "hamilton" and what did i miss in the opening second act. the legislator who championshiped the bill was a 34-year-old delegate named james madison. within just a few years madison became the father of the constitution and authored the first amendment. jefferson, madison and the rest of the founders took great care to protect the rights of religious people in this country. and we look back now, we can see why, because religious freedom has made this country stronger. it is undeniable. every day in america, religious charities feed the hungry, care for the sick and elderly and give our children a good education. i will point out as well, they are servin

david: so you are saying you would've played thomas jefferson? maria: correct. david: so the states would be free to innovate and maybe the federal government could learn from that, is that happening? maria: absolutely, really good point. there is so much innovation today. obviously, syntax and technology and cryptocurrency -- the states have always been the laboratories for innovation. the federal government has never been that. the office of the comptroller has never regulated these non-depository type institutions. they are now trying to do that and of the states are fighting back on that with our lawsuit with respect to the cyntech charter. but the states are stepping in and my agency, you know, we have done a tremendous job in creating a responsible regulated cryptocurrency industry. does it have risk? yes, but that is what regulation does, we address the risks. industryresponsible and that is how good innovation survives. not having regulation is not innovative, in my mind. david: going back to the beginning, you mentioned cybersecurity. we have a governme

until a man named thomas jefferson became commander-in-chief. he said we are not a tributary nation. we will take back our ship. there's a 24-year-old young officer and he is the man who, under disguise leads these marines into the shores of tripoli. into the harbor to recapture the uss philadelphia. he couldn't recaptured it so he scuttled it. as a result of that which is recognized as the pope as the greatest act of any nation. thomas jefferson made it to the day, the youngest ever naval captain and u.s. history. the whole.of this beyond heroes, is to illustrate that our war with the jihadist movement did not begin on september 11 or on the world trade center attack, our war with the jihadist is almost as old as the republic itself. >> that's amazing. the way you woke that story and the message it sends. let me go, we have discussed a bit also a recurring theme in the book about how quote war is not just about guns and bombs when ideas killed. i was one of the important message's and you mentioned -- peppered throughout how he was correct that

and they get people who actually fit, thomas jefferson. but gary hart did a book, george mcgovern did lincoln. it is a mix of historians and not historians looking at these presidencies, telling the basic stories but also giving your own individual spin on it. this and id me to do guess he figured i would put my individual spin on it. i agreed to do it because arthur asked me to do it and i had great respect for him from thomas jefferson, we were both on the advisory committee for that and also because paul golub was the editor, the general series editor for the serious, he was my editor for the book i jordan. vernon this is two friends, you know how it is when friends ask you to do things. i said sure, i put aside my misgivings. fascinating topic, there's so much material, but i wondered if i would be able to curb my natural feelings of thisathy about looking at particular time in american history and i agreed to do it. that was many years ago, this book i confess is long overdue. in between saying i would do that i wrote about monticello

americans since were captured and asleep until a man named thomas jefferson becomes the commander-in-chief and he said we're not attribute or nation. we'll take back our ship and he deployed a tiny flotilla with his 24-year-old young officer, and use the men who, under disguise, leads this band of marines into the shores of tripoli come into the harbor to recapture the uss philadelphia. he couldn't recapture it so he scuttled it and as result of that brief action which is recognized by the pope as the greatest act of any nation in weston solution of recent times, thomas jefferson made him to the state the youngest ever naval captain in u.s. history. the whole point of this, beyond heroes, point the finger great heroes, is to illustrate our work with the jihadist movement did not begin on september 11 on the first world trade center attack on the uss cole. our war with jihadist is almost as old as the republic itself. >> host: it's amazing. and the way you roll that story and in the message that it said. we also go to, we have discussed a bit also, which is a recurring theme in the book abo

thomas jefferson did that i remember it well. because i covered it. the fact it is more unusual what is happening in the modern tv era. this is something bears watch watching. blake burman watching this at the white house. any white house response to this at all? >> no, we've inquired. this letter by nancy pelosi that president trump delay the state of the union address until after the government shut down resolves itself. the pelosi sent the letter, hour, hour 1/2 ago. the white house officially, or even the president has officially decided to say how they will move or at least respond to this request from the house speak. you're right, the president does not need to go up to capitol hill to give a televised address. it wasn't until president johnson did it back in 1965 it has become tradition for the president to go up to the hill, give a televised response. a way for the president to put out his message before the rest of the country. the president is only required by writing submit periodically to congress as information as to the state of the uni

that's just a mustard stain from when thomas jefferson signed -- he signed the most important document with his lunch. that's weird. that's not trump's fault. so thanks to trump, we've learned that, during a national emergency, a president can do way more than build a wall -- shut down the internet, send the troops in, he can control the country. so if i were the democrats, i would give trump the wall before he finds out what he can really do. i know it sounds crazy, but now he's like the baby from the incredibles. he only knows that he can float. we do not want him finding out if he can shoot lasers out of his eyes. we'll be right back.

jefferson called attention to that. and there are things, for example the 22nd amendment that was passed by our own party is revenge for roosevelt, that says to terms that says -- that says two terms is a limit for the president. that is an infringement on the rights of the democratic people. now that i am out of office so they can't accuse me of doing it for myself, i'm going to see if the people can't demand the repeal of that amendment. the rightnvasion of to vote for whoever they want to vote for, and for how long. tom: will we see a lot of ronald reagan, speaking around the country? president reagan: yes. thisas you look back on extraordinary life you have had, covering most of the 20th century in america, from dixon, illinois, to the heights of power, president of the united states, what is the one thing that sticks out in your mind, that made the difference, made it possible? president reagan: maybe the teaching that i had and the faith that i had in prayer. incidentally, we are leaving out a lot of hometowns. an

i think it means embracing the ideas set forth by thomas jefferson. life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. working toward a government that helps fulfill those ideas. love being an american. the system only exists in the united states. freedom of speech, right, petition, pray, assemble, those are only in existence in america. this makes us the most free nation in the world. the most powerful, inventive nation in the history of the united states. >> voices from the road on c-span. tonight on c-span, house and senate negotiators meet to craft a homeland security spending bill, including boarding security and immigration provisions. >> later, discussion about the venezuela crisis from the atlantic council. >> in the hope of avoiding a nother government shutdown, members of the house and senate met.

jefferson of all the rights given the most important one is speech and free speech and what i know nico if that the pretty speech actually by the given because it with a figure at least who demanded that we need to have beautiful rights the rights and yet to free speech he was not given from the beginning the funding for his it's actually didn't like the idea and he what's that oprah decision you know to the figure as i mean they are the one who demanded that's why we have free speech so free speech because this is actually a mission from the many beginning we never have shown this free speech and that's where american dream starts with freedom in this country starts because we think we have free speech and we don't and it's only things like a week. that for the first time show us that we don't have free speech now i want to ask you as a psychologist because again we're traveling across america we're going from los angeles where the american dream is me myth the united states is always rescuing the world in seven out of the ten biggest box office. of all time it is an american who is sa
