but also, as he put it to martha washington following washington's death in 1799, washington is my egis to success. he stuck with washington and washington stuck with him during the remaining years. jefferson's revolution was extremely different from hamilton's. when hamilton was with washington and in battle, fighting in seven major engagements during the war, risking his life, at one point being surprised by the british patrol and when they shot at him, having to dive off of his boat into the school -- the schuylkill river and swim for safety. jefferson served in the house of burgesses, then in congress and while in congress, 15 months in congress, the principal author of the declaration of independence. almost immediately after independence was declared, jefferson left congress and returned to virginia because he was interested in reform. the continental congress was simply going to be a managerial body that managed the conduct of the war and the conduct of the army and hamilton wanted to return -- jefferson wanted to return to virginia and carry out as many reforms as he could. he d

washington liked him. he went to west point, stood there, and he was supposed to make an attack force, and said, i'm looking to come to your side, and andre knows about it, and they want to -- >> host: he remind us -- >> guest: he's a charismatic officer in the military, and major andre that the americans like. he was very gregarious, a good looking guy, and he was in charge there. the code name was john bolten. john anderson. and they gave up west point, and they pretend to put up a fight, but in the end, they are overrun and looks like taken captive, done, the hudson belongs to the british, war is over. there's a school of thought, and it seems logical, that washington was due up in west point, not only did he want to give away west point, by he wanted to hand over washington as well. resentment from the guy who got the commission they want, and so -- >> the british could get commander in chief of the american army? and the key to the hudson river? >> guest: right, it would be a country. there was a gene

washington died here.hat fabric exactly matches the description of the hangings that came with the dead george washington got from london in the 1750's. it points to a very romantic tale that, after george washington's death, martha washington moves upstairs but surrounds herself with things from the air -- from the very earliest days of their marriage. was a place of refuge for her. it was a place where the house continued to be busy with servants, slaves, and people visiting. those are places she could really retreat to and be quiet and contemplate and be removed from the hustle and bustle. >> when washington died, she said, it is over. my life is just waiting now. she really and truly did not want to be in that room where they had been so happy. >> did she involve herself? did she stay involved in any of the politics of the day? >> the politics of the day, she became even more secluded if anything, certainly emotionally. her emotions became even more central to her day. every day, she would walk down th

or washington.but he used them and their information. >> host: so it was the rain that told him he had to do something and then but he does is this. >> guest: but he just shot kamins the way i understand it wouldn't have worked. he had to let them think that they got a secret plan in order to stop it. so that's pretty genius. >> host: now the british were no slouches at espionage themselves. and you've already mentioned benedict arnold which is the great plot on the other side. so tell us how that developed >> guest: we say listen i might be looking at switching sides. he reached out and got to major andres. >> host: and arnold is? >> guest: benedict arnold is the general and the american army. he has had quite a bit of success. but if you really study him he seemed to be a bit of an arrogant guy that always feels he has a persecution complex. he always feels he's getting the short end of the stick. he fought brilliantly coming used his own money, has to get reimbursed, goes to philadelphia, has a c

people now come to washington to get rich. that was never the defining ethic of the town, certainly 30 years ago. there is now so much money. it is now the wealthiest community in the united states. it is home to seven of the wealthiest 10 counties in the united states. and frankly -- it is -- i mean, the power is obviously going to be very alluring. there are going to be some idealists who's going to be the make-a-difference types. but ultimately this has more in common with silicon valley, with hollywood, than with wall street. which is a rush to cash in. it is a rush to somehow take from this big entity, this big marketplace, some kind of reward, as opposed to doing something that will reward the country. >> what's stunning is how disconnected washington is, the political washington that you write about, from the lives of everyday people. is it because of this gold rush? >> when you look at the disconnect between washington and the rest of the country, which people talk about. i mean, there's a shorthand, "well, washington

but in washington, d.c. the cash that is sloshing around there does not come from a voluntary exchange. i don't know about you guys, but i don't volunteer to pay my taxes to the irs. i don't volunteer to send my money there, i have to. it's an extractive process. and what i'd like to talk to you a little bit about tonight is what i see as perhaps one of the most compelling challenges we face at what is happening in our nation's capital and increasingly our country, and that is we are increasingly moving from a free market economy, and we are approaching an extortion economy of which washington, d.c. is our nation's capital. now, what is the image that we have of people that go into politics? and there are very, very noble people that do go into politics and continue to go into politics today. i by no means adopt the opinion that they are all corrupt and they are all bad. in fact, your going to be hearing from some of them today. but what you have increasingly is, i think, a myth about what happens. and that

washington ended the year by pulling back. and one of the things that has created an amount of confidence is the underlying growth -- improvement in the job market, the underlying growth in the economy and finally washington realized if we just get out of the way, that's going to create better conditions going forward. >> well, that's something that you hear from ceos all the time, that they would just like washington to get out of the way so they can do their business. how do you see it going? it seems like we ended off the year on a hopeful note in washington. you think that they can continue this mood into 2014 and stay out of the way of businesses? >> i don't expect much to happen in washington in 2014, and that may be just what the doctor ordered. even though we've had this budget agreement that's passed both the house and senate and the president is embracing it because, again, it reduces fiscal drag makes conditions calmer for economic recovery next year, i don't expect that to be followed up by much ambitious legislati

the first ambassador loved washington. he loved to ride the secret car and be out in public here, and he found it so much different from other countries where he was. but, no, i didn't. there was a -- i will say in the big houses here it was interesting, the servants in the census in records were german and english. and after 1907 they were all local, hostly black, african-american. but the butlers were almost universeally african-american. and they were much sought after. they would be hired out from under somebody. and archie butt in his hem worry, he was had been memoir, he was roosevelt's aide which he left in endowment to public, and he said that most of the dinner parties were prepared by the butlers. they did the list, they checked with adie, they did everything. and the host and hostess just came to the event. so -- uh-huh.

and the bottom line is we have to find a washington solution. what is that washington solution? just say mental health. >> i think the washington solution begins the genesis of the solution begins in places like donna said before. in living rooms, kitchen tables, mental health forms. i think there's growing agreement on thing like mental health. that the washington solution will have some sort of bipartisan agreement there. and i think again, that is, if we want to find consensus right now where we can build upon, that's an area where i think there would be agreement that you can use it. that's a legislative victory that you could achieve and everybody could show there's progress being made in washington. >> i home that happens. s.e., maybe you and i should have that conversation too. >> maybe we can solve this together. >> thanks to donna brazile and kevin madden. >> join us monday for another edition of "crossfire." erin burnett "outfront" starts right now. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com >>> good evening. breaking news. another deadly school shooting. this one in colora

that's tonight on "washington week." >> for far too long here in washington, d.c.,, compromise has been considered a dirty word, especially when it comes to the federal budget. >> we knew that if we forced each other to compromise at ore pral -- principle, wed get nowhere. gwen: hurray, a deal is cut. but house republicans are still angry at the tea partyers who engineered the first shutdown. >> the day before the government opened one of the people from one of these groups stood up and said well, we never really thought it would work. are you kidding me! gwen: and in the senate lawmakers are pulling all-nighters, fighting over white house nominees. does this mean the white house is out of the woods on domestic policy? polls say no, but foreign policy could end up being barack obama's enduring legacy. at least john kerry homes so >> the united states is stronger under this first agreement than before. gwen: covering the week, molly bell of "the atlantic," jeanne cummings of bloomberg news, john harwood of cnbc and "the new york times" and doyle mcmanus of the "los angeles times." >> awa

smith goes to washington and i think it true we've internalized this notion of washington corruption as a matter of individuals and if only people would act better everything would be great other than the way that you presented it in the sor a sort of public e institutional notion. why do you think it is that we have this unmerited high expectation rather than think of it institutionally and why the more public choice -- >> that's a good question. i think as the government has gotten larger and there've been more opportunities -- you look for example at while being very and they have a long history in the united states but in terms of being a major industry, it's really been over the past 30 to 40 years. and i'm not an anti-lobbyist per se. people have the right to petition government and explain their positions. i think that the problem is it has become incredibly lucrative and that is what has changed. so it's taken on a business logic all on its own. when you discuss politics i think you need to kind of discuss it the way you talk about sports. do you know any sports fans out ther
