thomas lincoln was going to beat a retreat back to indiana but when he did that, lincoln said, not me man. i am staying. thomas and sarah were on their way back to indiana. thomas and sarah do not make it back to indiana. i think sarah put her foot down. they sold all their land, sold all of their houses, they had nothing. she makes thomas eventually settled down in indiana where he dies probably of some kind of congenital heart disease in the 1850's. i want to leave time for russians and discussions, but i -- questions and discussions, but i hope you can see why this time matters. lincoln learns about hardship, death and dying, learns about the difficulties of making ends meet. he learns the subtle values that are going to have a big impact on the kind of man he is. and can you kind of see why he did not want to talk about these years very much? i get it now. i don't think he was happy in indiana. i am guessing at this, don't want to read too much into it, but these do not seem to have been good times for him.

past presidents, those who are sort of lions in the pantheon of presidents, whether thomas jefferson, abraham lincolnhington, he did not notice or witness the ceremony as being important in history. you know, bill clinton, who came to office with only 43% of the popular vote, began his speech by talking about how this speech takes place in the dead of winter, but that part of the word and the faces of the people are about forcing the spring, that there is a sense of renewal, and trump did not provide that. >> woodruff: matt schlapp, we should say the reason you are dressed up is because you are going to one of the inaugural balls, and i failed to point that out earlier. >> no, i think it's because people think i live like thurston the iii. >> woodruff:. >(laughter)>> woodruff: what abe didn't hear to his connection to history, the grand pantheon that is the history of the united states? >> if you want poetry, there is another candidate for you. donald trump was the candidate of very blunt, realistic talk, and i think if you look through what politicians tend to do, and obviously i worked for presiden

[laughter] let' the real. donald trump has arrived in america for very specific reasons. the man who attacked the legitimacy of barack obama over to a year's with velocity and intensity to shatter that social compact year-round day fragilele consumption by intervening with the most vicious lambasting of the president a sitting president being subjected to such hateful rhetoric as the president of the united states of america and the birth of racism by suggesting he was not really an american but all of this of conspiracy theory and vengeful white supremacist thinking so yet that is the guy who would rise

george washington, alexander hamilton, thomas jefferson, abraham lincoln, andrew jackson, who a lot ofof trump. >> president trump took the interaction with the portraits one step further. they write he talked to the portraits. it was memorialized in the oliver stone film "nixon." >> look at you and see what they want to be. they look at me and see what they are. >> not every president followed nixon's lead. >> no, i never talked to a portrait. afraid they might talk back to me. >> what might these presidents of years past say to their newest club member. >> always remember, others may hate you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. and then you destroy yourself. >> wisdom from the ages. hope you're enjoying your new house, mr. president. thanks for watching, "fareed zakaria gps" is next. you don't let anything keep you sidelined. that's why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for the strength and energy to get back to doing... ...what you love. ensure. always be you. delsym helpswhich means, impulse to cough for 12 hours. you're con

lincoln and ulysses s. grant. you might be surprised to hear that affirmation. he went on to say, of second rank, of second rank were benjamin franklin, thomas jefferson, alexander hamilton and andrew jackson. once upon a time this nation revered ulysses s. grant as part of what i sort of call the holy trinity of american leaders. how did he fall? he fell by the fact that right after the civil war led by many confederate generals, the propaganda went forward of the so-called lost cause, that the greatest cause, the south, lost the civil war. they were the christian part of the nation, they were the chivalrous part of the nation and only lost because they were overwhelmed by huge numerical numbers of the north and by the butcher grant, willing to throw his men into battle without any heed for casualties. that's completely untrue. our greatest civil war historian from princeton has shown us that grant's casualties were far less than lee's casualties. interestingly, a young woman recently has written a book on can enken in which she shows at that kentucky joined the union and then the confederacy and all the leaders going forward would be ex-co

as the late abraham lincoln, the great president of our nation, who had the vision to see that the united states could not survive half-slave and half-free, as maladjusted as thomasferson, who in the midst of an age amazingly adjusted to slavery, could etch across the pages of history words lifted to cosmic proportions, "we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." as maladjusted as jesus of nazareth, who could say to the men and women of his day, "he who lives by the sword will perish by the sword." and through such maladjustment, we will be able to emerge from the long and desolate midnight of man's inhumanity to man into the bright and glittering daybreak of freedom and justice. may i say to you that i still believe that mankind will rise up to the occasion. in spite of the darkness of the hour, in spite of the difficulties of the moment, in spite of these days of emotional tension when the problems of the world are gigantic in extent and chaotic in detail, i still have faith in the future, and i
