george thomas has that story. >> george: less than a week after the brutal massacre at "charlie hebdo attack are speaking out for the first time. >> there wasn't a day we didn't receive death threats, but no one could have imagined our team would be decimated

. >> no, it is george, his name is george thomas severe. >> yes. >> i know he was never 41. >> he will google that. >> very good. let me show you something. i said to chris fox make sure you have the the snow scrapers and brush in the car so i can i'm not going to rap. i have a a lot of explaining to do, so sorry, just start kill stories after knee, it doesn't matter it is only weather today. getting back to my story here we don't have one in the car. we had had to stop and get his personal one. check out this thing that chris fox has. it looks like a typical one. dual handles. now watch this this thing swivels. in the only that bob kelly pay attention. this is a hydrol i can thing. look at this. i have the extender and the swivel. so look i can scrape the windshield of the fox vehicle from all the way back here this big mega windshield. it has a squdgy on this side. 900 bucks for this thing too. so, we have a good morning in store for us, sorry about those eight stories that were supposed to come after this viewers, we will have them next half an hour. >> i love steve keeley. >> they

yeah. >> i just think it is interesting that he looked at george washington and thomas jefferson.talked a lot about washington and jefferson and they are kind of the heroes of america the founding fathers and all of that, but they owned slaves. thomas jefferson at home owned slaves and he wrote the declaration of independence. >> go figure. >> i think it is a compartmentalization thing just a little bit. also back to if we think lincoln was a racist, i think today racist is defined differently than then. i think he would not have seen himself as a racist in that time. you were talking about people seeing black people as demons and stuff. when you compare him to that, i would not say he is a racist. but today him saying he does not want equal rights between white and black people, people kind of say that is a little bit racist. >> if he told some of these jokes in 2014, oh, my god. whenever i get asked if lincoln was a racist, my answer is usually it is a bad question. that is too simple. it is way too black and white. i know, that is bad. but really, guys. it is too binary, either

. >> george w. >> thomas jefferson. >> bill clinton. >> bill clinton?ning of the word "is" is. >> i thought he was a terrific speaker. >> lincoln's leadership what exactly did he do? >> i really have no idea. >> i can't believe it. how about you guys >> i can't believe it. >> i'm going to show you a few pictures of other presidents and we'll just go bing, bing. peanut farmer. >> not helping. >> jimmy carter. >> nixon. >> not carter. i don't know. >> it's carter. >> i think it was a serious mistake. >> they said his name weird. jimmy carter. >> mr. cotter. >> are you a carter family. >> what are you looking at popeye. >> who is that? jfk. >> jfk. >> what does that stand for? >> idiot. >> who is that? >> hoover? >> dwight eisenhower. >> who are you? one of the mental patients. >> fdr. do you know what that stands for? >> franklin roosevelt. >> i honestly didn't know that. >> what is he known for. >> stlntisn't there a famous building named after him. >> if she were a president she were be babeaham lincoln. >> who is that >> taft p.m. >> taft. >> they door

the three most important were george washington thomas paine and thomas jefferson. but i also want to touch on to other fathers. thomas lincoln his actual father will never rises with dissatisfaction from his own father. longer quite enough for him. so to begin with thomas lincoln he was born in virginia 1778. he moved to kentucky. there he had his family daughter sarah, son abraham, and the little boy thomas who only lived for three days. thomas lincoln was a subsistence farmer and a carpenter all his life. and there was a fashion in the mid-20th century to depict him as almost snopes in na'er-do-well, but i think historians and biographers has revised of that. thomas lincoln never went broke. he never left bad debt. he had some problem with land titles in kentucky, but everybody did serving in that state was just a nightmare. that's one of the reasons the lincolns moved to indiana and then to illinois. thomas lincoln was on several juries, which was a sign of respectability. and he was also a trustee of a that this church that he and his wife belonged to. he sent

george's county. someone called thomas jefferson was technology has improved our lives, in small ways. in big ways. but what about this? couldn't this be better too? at redfin we asked ourselves the same question. which led us to create new ways to take you inside a home or instantly schedule a tour. but we paired that with our own agents who aren't paid on commission but on your happiness. and that's what makes it all work the world has changed and now real estate has too. >>> new tonight a woman who knows the terror of having a gun pointed at her face. she's talking to us about the thieves targeting some very specific places at local pharmacies. >> virginia's governor says he's back in the saddle after a rib injury sent him to the hospital. hear what he said today about safe safety on metro. >>> and only news4 cameras were there today when an historic d.c. monument was pulled out of the ground. >>> first to some scary robberies targeting prescription pills. >> the gunmen knew and know just what it is they're looking for and where to get them. and they're not letting anyone or anything get in thei

the ideological foundation, from his earliest days, guys, abraham lincoln greatly admired george washington, thomas jefferson and it struck him that slavery was completely opposed to the principles of the declaration of independence. he says this repeatedly in the 1840's and 1850's. can we believe all men are created equal and do this at the same time? so, guys, there is no real question about slavery. he always hates the institution. everybody has gotten that, right? the other questions though are much more complicated. what did he think of black people? that matters, right? first of all, here is a very big asic question. you would think it would not be hard to answer, but it is. how many black people did he actually know? who did he know that was african-american? first of all he is born in kentucky, 1809. you would think he would run across an african american living in kentucky. probably did. but we have no record of it. we have the gaps in the record, there is no reliable account of him ever encountering an african-american. on the other hand, he only lived here until the age of six. how much

would have jeopardized the fortunes of the murderer's row of founding fathers including george washington, thomas jefferson patrick henry and madison. a footnote to come i'm sure you know that after the formation of united states of america that disproportion of the u.s. senators were slaveholders. the short thesis of this book is that june 1772 you had a case in london england which involved an effort to send and enslaved african man back to north america after he had escaped to freedom and the judge ruled which is represented of course in the movie, bell. anybody see belle? lord mansfield the judge in the case rules that slavery would not obtain in england. the way the law works of courses even though the case did not speak specifically and pointedly to the colonies it did not take an oracle to suspect that case with former president that bin would be applied to the north american colonies thereby jeopardizing the fortunes. as i will suggest momentarily and explained at length in this book there was good reason for the so-called rebels to believe that somerset's case would be used as a preceden

washington and george washington took thomas marshall out on surveying trips where they surveyed the lands of lord fairfax. what is called the northern neck of virginia, a huge piece of land at chesapeake bay was owned by lord fairfax before the revolution. washington and marshall were favorites of him and he sent them out to survey his land after virginia threatened, va. commonwealth of virginia was going bankrupt and threatened to seize lands that were not lived in. fairfax quickly saw to it that his land was surveyed so he could keep up that property. john marshall was thomas marshall's firstborn, oldest of 15 children. all of whom survived which was rare in those days. the oldest of this. he became a surrogate leader in a sense. he salt their arguments because the father was surveying all the time and thomas was the oldest and became this wonderful negotiator of all these battles between his brothers and sisters. he was educated by his father and mother as a youngster and then sent to a school in the woods log cabin school, quite a few miles away 100 miles away. he lived at t

time somebody gets elected president of the united states we think this is going to be george washington or thomas jefferson or abraham lincoln. and most of the time it's rutherford b. hayes. [laughter] you know, most of the time we get a president who is somewhere in the muddle, who is a mixed bag, good at some things bad at other things. but the beauty of the system, the reason the national security council system was developed in 1947 was that the people around franklin roosevelt said we can't go on with this guy managing the way that he managed during the second world war. he was playing one hand against the other, he wasn't communicating. if we were to face another war with soviets we couldn't do that. we need a system that gets the best opinions, gets the best intelligence processes it, filters it to the president in the form of choices and then is able to implement that. and uses the whole of the united states government in a constructive way. now, i think as we look back to the period of the past 10, 15 years, we find moments when it wasn't doing that, where small groups were making decisi

george washington. it's a very precarious time for the country. thomas jefferson runs into alexander alexander, hamilton, who is usually very well-dressed, clean shaven looking none of those things. jefferson says, what is wrong? what thomas jefferson is he brokered a deal over wine and food at his house, between james madison, the leader of the opposition to this plan, and alexander hamilton. madison wasn't going to vote for the plan but he will not be too strenuous in his opposition. there's speculation that he and jefferson found the additional votes that hamilton needed to put him over the top. hamilton would then turn around and use his leverage with the northern states who badly needed this bill to select 2 the fight for the nation's capital, the first great compromise. and this kept the peace and this kept the country together. what would have different if monroe had been there instead of madison? number one aside from the bill of rights, monroe's biggest objection to the constitution was the power of the executive. he had gone to war and risked h

where thomas jefferson, george washington abraham lincoln. o of those guys you put on your list as the truly great. the third on your list hasn't come along yet. so why is it in 1927 thomas jefferson and theodore roosevelt is greatness to be carved into a mountain that don't make your list quiet >> aro on the list. >> none of the truly great. >> truly undeniably great presidents i call close but no cigar. five additional presidents, two of whom are in fact on rushmore. the sculpture are actually cited in this case to those four would be and they were picked for a specific reason. washington for obvious reasons. tr because of his work in conservation. and lincoln, are clearly greatest president because the most imaginative of any nation which is civil war. i think those are at the time quite appropriate. the historians basically what arguello and played the waiting game is a fun national pastime. that is not what this book is about. it's not an effort to reach a conclusive development on rating the presidents. but the rating game as historians

george eaves. rural virginia, 1789. one baptist minister that went to many different churches. he was actually the true sentiments on religious freedoms. so it was madison who passed thomas jefferson's, virginia is it's statute of religious freedom. and madison went to george eaves and said if i'm elected i'll support a bill of rights and among that will be the freedom of religion. during an intense meeting when one of the congregations gathered to decide who to endorse in the fifth congressional district he was able to pull out his letter and rebut the anti-federalist lies distorting his opinion for the benefit of all. he did great damage to their cause in the words of one observer. so james madison and james monroe talking about some of the things that are similar in this election in the election today. one thing we don't see enough of james madison and james monroe maintained a high level of civility towards one another in the course of the campaign. they travelled together, they stayed in the same hotel room, they engaged in long, heated debates. one of the debates in the church that's there the hebron lutheran church in culpepper, virginia, the oldest in the united

their discussions of politics even made thomas hesitate before casting a ballot for george mcgovern in 1972. justice thomas' voting preferences may have changed since then but his ability to relate to others has not. there are many law students who go to clerk at the supreme court and to a person they praise justice thomas as a human being. they speak of his humor and welcoming demeanor. they describe his kindness, warpts infectious laugh. celebrate his deep personal humanity and his constant effort to reach out and be helpful to them in times of stress and pain regardless of their political beliefs. and that is no small thing for a justice in robes. and of course when he puts on his robes, there can be no doubt whatever of justice thomas' determination and dedication. no justice is as fearless and relentless affirming what he or she considers to be right as the justice. appointed to the court in 1991 at the age of 43, justice thomas has been called the court's conservative intellectual path breaker on issue after issue he has anticipated and shaped the development of doctrine passiona

it was found in the libraries of thomas jefferson and george whit, among others.uring the constitutional struggles of the 17th century. edward cook, a name we've heard about from our previous two speakers, was happy to imbellish this theme of linking magna carta at jury trial. this link aided cook's quest in his later career to strengthen the common law courts and to limit chancery and the other prerogative courts. the prerogative courts sat without juries and were more directly subject to royal control. cook extensively discussed article 29 of magna carta in his second institute, a source well known to americans, as we've heard. cook was the most influential exponent of the idea of an english inheritance based on dissent and consisting of fundamental law. in cook's view, this inheritance was unchanging and from time in memorial. it preceded the norman conquest and in georgia cook's day. according to the fundamental laws expressed in magna carta and other sources, the king could not take property from his subjects or imprison them without due process of law. the l

thomas jefferson alexander hamilton installed two main pillars of george washington's administration there we go? hamilton -- hamilton appeared. so jefferson, i hope i don't -- i don't need to label these guys for y'all. so i didn't. jefferson on the left, hamilton on the right. with these two guys impaled -- impaled? installed as the two main pillars of george washington's administration, the founders' first quarrel -- the founders first quarrelled over hamilton's plan to refinance the bankrupt republic by putting the money in to hands of wall street, chestnut street in philadelphia where the original financial center was. i don't think i'm being -- not trying to be partisan by saying that. that that was more or less literally what he was trying to do. the united states created part of hamilton's program was a privately controlled institution that received the privilege, the vast privilege of holding the government's revenues and being able to make loans on the amount or a multiple of that amount. this generated a huge windfall profit and amassed potential capital for business ventu

george. >> okay thanks very much. to pierre thomas also in washington this morning, of course pierre this puts all of us in mind of the threat to the homeland and seen attacks over the last months in ottawa in canada in sydney in australia and now in paris, france officials here concerned, as well. >> reporter: this is not some distanced threat. the fbi has been deeply concerned that the threat you see unfolding in paris right now could happen here at any time. there's clear evidence that there are radicals here among us. this year alone, the fbi has caught a dozen or more mostly men but some women trying to join terrorists in syria and iraq including isis the people known to chop off heads. the fbi director has said repeatedly those who go and get training could return to the u.s. and strike with or without direct orders. he's also flatly stated some radicals have probably gone and returned we don't know about. and the people who have been radicalized on the internet you can see why the fbi's typically has about 100 terror investigat

george washington john adams, they used to deliver it in person and from thomas jefferson forward heuntil the 20th century when radio and television made the speech something everybody could hear. you are still going to have 30 million people listening to the person they elected as president talking about policy. and this multiplatform age, it's a big audience. with turmoil overseas and economy picking up steam, i think there will be interest in what this president says on this speech. it's the first time he's talking not to a congress that's divided and dysfunctional but controlled by the other party. that makes it more relevant because they can pass things he can sign them or veto them and there will be a big debate. >> you noted in a column people say how unusual that a president in the seventh year of his term will speak to congress from opposition party. it turns out it's almost the case. >> last time it was otherwise was 1939. the rhythm of these things. sometimes the last two years can be bad time for the president and sometimes it can be actually very productive. let me give
