thomas jefferson did slates. there have been slates all over. on alabama, which i won, i think, by 45 points in 2016, even more now. but alabama, they said, i cheated on alabama. we won by 45, and they challenged it. they challenged it. the same way they're challenging. it's such a disgrace. >> reporter: little bit hard to follow his messaging there, but a lot of what he said was really focused on the past, 2020, 2016, as you heard there. but there was some that was focused on the future, and it was very clear when he was talking about this race in particular that he views nikki haley as a threat. they do believe, donald trump and his team, that he's going to win by a large margin tomorrow. but the question is, just how big of a margin, and will it be enough to stop the momentum they see from nikki haley not only here in iowa but particularly in the new hampshire. we know his team has been very concerned by her rise in the polls there. they are spending $4.5 million combined just ahead of the primary, just attacking nikki haley. just for referen

thomas jefferson or was it this week taking thomas jefferson in new york city.hat happened? >> i don't know if it was museum of natural history but a location where that was -- where that happened. the colonials of george washington university are reconsidering themselves. donald trump was exactly right because it is not just about the civil war or native americans, it is about america itself and if you want -- if you believe it was poisoned from the beginning, then you need to rewrite that entire history he was right over the target we're seeing jefferson we're seeing washington being the target right now. >> again, not the only things we're seeing. your home state of minnesota, pete has changed its flag and i was asking you before this. why? is there -- i don't understand because there's native american in here somewhere -- i don't know. to this generic looking flag? >> this is. this is a got a native american depiction in here that i think they didn't -- maybe the guy plowing it is a white guy. i don't know there's probably 15 different grievances they have.

adams, abraham lincoln gore vidal, and now thomas jefferson in his masterly pen. kaplan offers us a biography of thomas jefferson by giving an english professor's kind attention to jefferson's written words. jefferson only published one book in his lifetime notes on the state of virginia. but, of course, jefferson wrote consul treatises like a summary view of the rights of british north america legal briefs, memoranda the declaration of independence, and above all letters, thousands of them, which kaplan calls among his most powerful and revealing writings throughout his masterly pen, kaplan brings a skilled biographers attention to how jefferson reveals himself through his writing, often without without intending to, as kaplan says of notes on the state of virginia. it's a book about jefferson partly because jefferson did not want it to, a book about himself. the jefferson we meet here is not surprisingly learned and forceful. but kaplan also shows this jefferson as a writer who's often evasive with holding anxious self-pity and inconsistent, eager to shield hims

this is why i hate thomas jefferson. one of the reasons i hate thomas jefferson. so the electoral college was constructed initially for the to get over the problem that there was too much space the original 13 states so that somebody in couldn't know who was a good guy in massachusetts. so they decided what you would do was rather than vote for a president, you would vote for the honorable men in your town who would get together and they would decide who the good guys were to push forward and they would probably come up with more than one person. and then it would go to the house of representatives. so there was layer after layer after layer after layer in place. but thomas jefferson figured out in 1796, right when this thing is getting off the ground, that if he had gotten all the electoral votes from virginia, they'd kind of loaded the constitution so that virginia had way more electoral votes than anybody else. they're going to lose him as soon there's a good census. but early on that's where all the action is. one of the reasons we have so many early president

and there are some there have been some who said, you know, thomas jefferson didn't want elevate slavery as and so used the pursuit of happiness of property. i think that's probably giving jefferson too much credit given his own personal history. there are that others who said it was just like a kind of folly that he put it in there, which i think is giving him too little credit, given what we know about, how careful of a writer he was. but i do think the pursuit of happiness is, and obviously it's not a guarantee of happiness. and i think it's quite clear that what jefferson meant was, not happiness in the sense of being jolly, probably what we today would call fulfilled and i think that saying that we should all be committed to the idea that every american should have the opportunity to make a life of her his own based her his sense of what would be fulfilling is something is a is a premise that we should be there is that should be available to everyone and we should be able to persuade people a reasonable basis for being this project. it's sort of does does call on, you know, the bett

thomas jefferson himself written in the memorial stone says i tremble for my country when i reflect god is just. in other words, the founder himself, the author himself was ashamed, embarrassed, and pained by the birthmark of slavery. and he was a slave owner. so why is she more supportive and defensive of thomas jefferson and the founders than even the founders were? it's ridiculous. >> alice, is haley doing herself any favors on these controversial answers and these questions involving race? >> no, because she's talking about these controversial issues involving race and not talking about joe biden and how her policies are better for the major people. i think she tried to overexplain last night her position as the daughter of indian american parents and her personal experience as it relates to slavery and minorities in this country. and it just was -- didn't sit well, it didn't fit well. and all of this started when she didn't right out of the gate say that the root cause of the civil war was slavery. and now she continues to be plagued with these questions. >> you know, jeff, it's in

jefferson is a man with a very interesting biography, to begin with, he is the fifth president of thee last representative of the virginia presidents. the united states, imanro, he actually had the idea at the end of his life to be a planter, nothing worked out for him, he turned out to be a non-entity as a planter. in which it must function, these rules are periodically changed, those who disagree are faced with american economic, sanctions, and military power, this is the doctrine of expanding the economic space of the united states, in response to which it was adopted, it was also reactive to a certain extent, and it was adopted in 1823 in response to the actions of the european holy ... alliance, excuse me, russia, austria, prussia and france, which joined it, at that time, the monarchical, so, the return of the bourbons, about which, they said, they forgave no one and learned nothing, which demanded the restoration of spanish control over the latin american colonies, the americans were already considering latin... the british, because the british controlled the seas, they were no

i don't know if i can talk about thomas jefferson unless his statue gets removed from the capitol suddenlyfact of the matter is that's the basis for why we even have a government and why we have a constitution in the first place. is to ensure that we can take care of ourselves, to ensure we're secure. our borders are wide open and unless you debate whether there's an invasion, talk to people of texas. i was in texas last week in tony's district and the people down there, the rangers, there were 200 people in the room and they were saying where are you? they were looking at us saying what are you going to do? what are you doing to help us and protect us? if not, we're going to have to protect ourselves. that's what we're seeing for governor abbott appropriately. the president has the ability right now to stop it and he can use that power. he can undo many orders that tom referenced and this is all a sham and purposesful. it is a purposesful effort to deliver to our society and undermine our way of life and destroy western civilization and hands of democrats in power and white house and a du

i found this amazing sentence from thomas jefferson predicting the rise of donald trump and jeffersons worried that a distant president might lose an election by a few votes, falsely claiming the election would've been stolen, and mobilize his supporters, refused to leave office. jefferson's words, he will pretend to -- downplay full possession of the reign of government. so, as jefferson and the other frontiers are frayed of demagogues we're going to put their own self-interest above that of the people, the solution for them is virtue. we need presidential candidates who will be moderate, temperate, restrained, put the interests of the country above their selfish greed and ambition, and this is key, we need citizens who will vote for leaders who will be virtuous and who will master our own partisan passions and favor the public good. i explore all this in the book. i'm so excited to share it with you, ali, and can't wait to hear what you think. >> i would love that and i think it's interesting, when you bring up the term moderate, you're not seeing political moderate. you're not seei

the historians have looked at that term and there been some that have said thomas jefferson normallywas life liberty and property. and there been some who said thomas jefferson did not want to elevate slavery and so he is the pursuit of happyness and set a property. i think that is probably giving jefferson too much credit giving his history. there others that kind of gave it a folly which is giving him too little credit given the kind of writer we knew he was. i think, obviously, it is not a ,guarantee of happiness and i think it is quite clear what jefferson met was not happiness as being jolly but what we would call today as fulfillment. i think that saying we should all be committed to the idea that every american should have the opportunity to make a life of his own choosing. based on his or her sense of what would be fulfilling. a premise that we should be, it should be available to everyone and we should be able to persuade people as a reasonable weight -- basis for being in this. >> it does sort of call on the better aspects of ourselves as human beings. >> as leaders should.

in fact, it might be the one the one thing that alexander hamilton and thomas jefferson agreed on.d that a party, a large majority, could weaponize it against their opponents. it does seem to be, though, that in today's recent years it's been used as a threat, even if sometimes they never get to a vote. and that seems quite a bit different than what we've seen before. john: i want to talk about the mayorkas impeachment inquiry. the chairman of that effort is mark green. he's chairman of the house committee on homeland security. and he defended this process in a hearing earlier this week. >> the constitutional history is overwhelmingly clear on this subject. the founders designed impeachment not just to remove officials engaged in criminal behavior, but those guilty of such gross incompetence that their conduct had endangered their fellow americans, betrayed the public trust, or represented a neglect of duty. john: on the other hand, you had a group of legal scholars write an open letter to green saying that impeachment wasn't intended to cover incompetence, poor judgment or bad pol
