following washington's death in 1799, washington is my aegis to success, and so he stuck with washington, and washington stuck with him during the remaining years. jefferson's revolution was extremely different from hamilton's. while hamilton was with washington and in battle, fighting in seven major engagements during the war, risking his life. at one point, being surprised by a british patrol and having, when they shot at him, having to dive off his boat into the river and swim for safety. jefferson served first in the house of burgesses, then in congress, and while and congress, those 15 months in congress, was the principal author of the declaration of independence. almost immediately after independence was declared, however, 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 manage the conduct of the war and the conduct of the army. and hamilton wanted to return -- and jefferson rather wanted to return to virginia and carry out as many reforms as he could. he didn't always succe

washington in halifax. because the fact is, most folks in hall i fact were thrilled washington was coming. they were supporters. but washington was just there for two days. they had to live with willie jones after the president left. so they kind of kept things a little bit quashed there in halifax. washington liked pomp and ceremony. in north carolina, washington wrote with a lament in his diary, received as good a salute in tarboro as one can get with a single cannon. so i don't know if he admired them or was terribly disappointed. a little of both, i think. in eastern north carolina, which was famous for his tar pitching turpentine production, supplies mostly for the naval vessels, and sailing, washington saw tar being made. and he saw the lonely pine forest. he couldn't understand them. he was trying to understand what other crops you might grow here useful other than these big pine trees. but he learned a lot as he went to these different places. he learned about pine trees in north carolina. he learned about rice in indigo and south carolina. he would write about these things in his diary. well, in newburg, nng, that wa

washington. it's not the one on the dollar bill. i was going to say, washington is in your wallet all the time. when he is painting washington for what is called the lansdowne portrait in 1796, he writes a letter the moment he is doing it. he says i'm a painting george washington. he describes this facial thing and said he had the widest set of eyes i have ever seen and in his eyes he is the wildest animal i have ever seen in the forest. he is primal and what he paints is exactly the opposite. what he paints is exactly a controlled thing. but what what he saw, he knew we needed to believe. all of those patriots are forgeries and misrepresentations of the real character of washington because that is what he thinks we need to believe in the artist know that is the way they make money. >> like the writings about him from some of the soldiers and those that knew him that describe the physical washington, his size, how imposing he was, and he could stay in the saddle longer than men half his age. he just had a -- i guess we would call it charisma or andence, but also a power muscularity. when he walked in -- he was a head taller

washington's face. washington finally agreed to confront jefferson about this deception. the fact is that while serving of secretary of state for president washington, jefferson was organizing the opposition and jefferson was leading the press campaign to go after first hamilton and ultimately george washington. i would urge those of use in the atience today to look washington's take, his assessment of alexander hamilton. washington's reliance on alexander hamilton and if you do so you will be able to move beyond any of the myth i discussed this morning and the of to see that alexander hamilton, despite the arguments of jefferson and his lieutenants, was as american as it could get because the george washington certainly understood that. thank you and i would like to take your questions. [applause] i have i left enough time. hope i left enough time. >> please wait for the microphone to come to you. >> i can repeat the questions if that will help. >> ok, no comment. >> [indiscernible] >> that is a great question. the idea that jefferson is the champion of small government, the idea that you see directive from hamilton's libertarian critics that hami

washington. he was washington's right-hand man. that should get far more attention than it does. the fact is that the george washington should have had more in common with his fellow slave owner, fellow virginian thomas jefferson, but he did not. instead, he bonded with this immigrant from an obscure speck of an island in the caribbean. and the two of them, hamilton and washington, i would argue, put aside their parochialism to -- i'm not sure hamilton ever had any parochialism -- to create a great nation, the united states of america, and to the end of his life, george washington had nothing but positive things to say about alexander hamilton, including hamilton's character and hamilton's integrity. in fact, washington rallies to hamilton's side when hamilton confesses to the affair with maria. by the end of washington's life, the last few years of washington's life, he has nothing to do with thomas jefferson. he has completely cut him off, rightly so because jefferson had deceived his own president on multiple occasions and lied right to washington's face. washington finally agreed to confront jefferson about this d

washington. i agree with you that washington -- you've said and written that washington would not agree with. >> right. >> the notion of american exceptional imtoday. would you explain that? >> washington -- there is a letter washington writes in 1783. the last of his circular letters to the states. it's probably the most profound letter washington ever wrote. and he actually wrote it. >> instead of hamilton. >> washington did not write the farewell address. ham ton wrote it. it was washington's ideas, but nevertheless. that he says that we are coming into existence as a new nation even though we are not a nation yet and we have these enormous advantages. we have the oceans to protect us. we have this boundless continent. of course he is not talking about the fact that there is all these native americans there. we begin with the biggest trust fund, he says, that anybody -- that's my version of what he says -- of any new nation. so we have all these advantages, okay? and that you -- so it's our very uniqueness that means you shouldn't expect other countries to be able to duplicate this easily. all

washington himself, standing life-size with a meticulous marble masterpiece placed here back in 1796. it's the only full-length statue of washington that he personally posed for. it was shortly after the revolution. 53 years old, he had voluntarily resigned his powers to go home to a private life on his farm. the statue that visitors see today is the most accurate depiction of george washington. -- washington available. inside you seek marble busts of the other virginia born presidents. we have a total of eight with a surprise guest. there's an additional statue of the marquis the lafayette, a major general in the revolution fighting on our side against the british, a french volunteer. outside the building we have a pediment style, temple style a line roof. inside the building and look up, you suddenly discover a dome, which is what you had been expecting all along . the dome inside of the building has a skylight and then directly is anthat, above it additional skylight on the outside roof. we are now inside the old hall of the house of delegates, usually referred to as the old house chamber. this room is filled with memories, rich and rare. it is also filled with statuary that honors americans and virginians who were prominent legislators, jurists, executive leaders, military or naval commanders, scientists, inventors, and so on. in this room this is where the public pulse

washington. without a word, he gestured o'hare to washington. washington in turn gestured him to his own second in command, benjamin lincoln, who accepted with surrender. after yorktown, there were no more major american battles but that didn't mean the fighting stopped. the fighting was continuing around the world between brit n britain, the bourbon alliance and other nations. in fact, by the time of yorktown, britain was fighting five separate nation states. it was simply overwhelmed. for example, the battle of gibralter observed 60,000 spanish troops in a four-year siege that failed and yes it is a mushroom cloud. the fighting was that fierce. the dutch republic was drawn into the war for allowing supplies to go to france and the battles in the north sea were equally as advances. the last battle of the war, happening in india happened six months after the preliminary peace treaties were signed. the peace treaty ended eight years of war and over 200,000 french and spanish troops and sa sailors fraught fat war xierd to 280,000 americans -- compared. they

jefferson thought that washington -- let me make this point clear for starters. washington was not a federalist. washington was not a republican. washington was a president above party. washington disdained the notion of partisanship. washington. partisanship was unfathomable. we might agree with some of our neighbors about foreign policy, but we might disagree with some of those same people about taxes. he might disagree with some, but agree with others about parks or what have you. why would we always be a green with the same people, and disagreeing with the same people? to washington, that did not make any sense. he was horrified by the emergence of partisanship. he thought it possessed a real potential to lead to the disunion of the united states. it was still a fragile experiment. hamilton. that the fate of america hung in the balance. jefferson thought the future of america hung in the balance. that the other side was moving america off course in a dangerous direction. both hamilton and jefferson worked hard to try to win over george washington. sometimes supported jefferson, sometimes supported hami

washington does not follow through its promises, the washington reneges. this now for the first time i think in a long time you are seeing eye duty of thought and message that you really can't trust those elements in washington. even as a multilateral agreement between notch as washington and tehran washington and five other superpowers. i think it's going to solidify their many position and a thing is going to bring, like perhaps the secretary of defense in 1980, 1980 against saddam hussein in postwar. ironically iran is going to win stupid do you agree with that assessment, professor? it's not forget time making it in bins that any vote cast during elections in iran the matter which candidate is a vote for the islamic system of governance. >> yes. when they get close, with all these media outlets, farsi speaking, the broadcast of the united states, some from europe, that ask people not to go to the polls. and when people go to the polls, they are choosing a candidate that they like. they are also indirectly saying that they accept the system that is presenting them with the choices that they have. and actually i think it's a system, integrity in terms of counting the votes, and i think their vote actually

washington does not follow through his promises. that washington reneges as i think the first time using a message that you really cannot trust the corrosive elements in washingtonven it is multilateral. not just between washington and around but washington and five other superpowers. i think it will solidify the iranian position and bring people together. perhaps the -- >> do you agree with that assessment professor? let's not forget that time and again it has been said that any boat cast during elections in iran, no matter which candidate is a vote for the islamic system of government. >> yes. and as we get closer to elections we have all of these media outlets. they broadcast from the united states, europe, they asked people not to go to the polls. and when people go to the polls, their choosing a candidate that they like. they also saying that except the system presenting them with the choices that they have. and in terms of counting the votes and when actually matters. overall, the message that we have been getting from outside from the us government or outlets as such, connecting the us government has actually been helpful. because this is characteristic o

washington becoming president. i don't think he is speaking about washington leading the armies against the british. i don't think he is talking about washington and the constitutional convention. i think he is talking about washington coming to be president. that is a different thing. and washington was universally acclaimed. he faced no opponent. he had no real election. and lincoln faces something quite different. he is a minority president. he has a divided country. he is accused of being the source of the division. and he has to come into the country even before the civil war and manage the beginning of what will be this great crisis. >> i will offer that i still think it's audacious. yes, you can parse it and say it is the task, but he is mentioning his own challenge in the same sentence as that of the most beloved, revered, fearless, spotless person in american history. these are interesting interpretations. >> but also washington did face a rebellion. there was the whiskey rebellion. the only rebellion we had had was that. that was six counties in pennsylvania. [laughter] >> now we are talking about six states and it will be seven when

washington. in no way is he suggesting he is greater than washington. the fact he references washington is his whole larger perspective of what the nation is involved in. yes, this is quite a remarkable speech. we can argue if it was spontaneous or not. i think it was spontaneous and then he writes it down on the train and hands it to nikolay. i think the task is greater. he understands that even though he has reverence for the revolutionary period, they were and what historians would call a second revolution and he is leading that effort. >> but it is also pretty clear this will be a civil war. which in his day the revolution was not remembered as being -- of course it was, especially in the south. theren upstate new york was a lot of civil strife during the revolution. that had all been kind of forgotten and smooth the way. people just rumored us against the brits. the enemy was foreign. it was the brits and the hessians and they came here to fight us. it is south carolina and mississippi and alabama now. it is just a few train rides and a steamboat right away -- ride away. this is a

washington journal." >> "washington journal" continues. host: tom mcclintock is back at the desk. i want to start with your view on the opening wee of the trump administration. in the past several days we have the a federal court block vetting order, the resignati of a national security adviser, yesterday the withdraw of andrew puzder for labor nominee. you have beennvolved in federal politics, state politics for a long time. what would your recommendation be to the trump administration right now to try to stabilize things after the week they've had? guest: don't forget you have had a number of groundbreaking executive orders and legislation thathe preside is calling on , now proceeding to the congress. a lot of very good things have been going on, too. these are turbulent times. ere's an administration tang office with unprecedented hostility from the opposition party. you have an intelligence structure that has beme a government unto itself, become highly politicized. ese are very turbulent times. remember the old chinese curse, may you live in interesting times. nevertheless, advice to you would be to stay the course. i have not heard one person object to him becae he has broken any of his campaign promises. that he'sions are keeping his campaign promises and that's what elections are all about. the last four elections culminated in a pridential aection and have defined dramatic political realignment in this country. president, tweeting again this morning about concerns over leaks from the intelligence community. what does he need to dohose -- to stop the? top to bottom housecleaning. it what is frightening about this is that the confidential conversations between the president and heads of state are between senior officials. in the flynn case, the russian ambassador, these confidential convsations are being leaked to the press. tells every world leader is -- i can't speak candidly with the leader of the united for fear that my private conversations -- united states for fear that the private conversation a habit and will be leaked. that's the damage that the intelligence -- i have with him will be leaked. that's the damage the intelligence community is doing. need to stepngress in to investigate what's in some of these leaks? specifically the campaign staff, the ported contacts with russian television's officials? guest: as part of an ongoing investigation it was launched on the previous administration with inpect to russian influence hacking email accounts, that's perfectlappropriate. host: is it appropriate for congress to do something as well? congrstop priority for has got to be to find out how these leaks are occurring. this is a major national security problem, when heads of state cann communicate with the president for fear that their conversations will be leaked. we have people in the intelligence community who are doing it for obvus political reasons and are doing enormous damage to our ability as a nation to conduct international diplomacy. touching on the travel ban, the executive order, presidentrump promised new action last week, the week of that court decision. do you know if that is still going to happen this week? do you have any more details about what more could come? i don't. i certainly hope that heill issue a new executive order th takes into account -- host: pull back the old o? guest: yeah. athe same time, i would continue to fight for the old one in court. the ninth cirit court of appeals decision wasrazenly political. they ignored the law that gives m the authority to issue an executive order. that's not a legal decision. that's a brazenly political decision froa brazenly political court. host: why the to track -- to track -- two track approach? guest: as we fight for the old order, we have a system with gaping holes in it that we were warned about as a congress two years ago. those holes have to be addressed and addressed soon. host: congressman mcclintk is with us for about the next 25 minutes here on "the washington journa" phone numbers -- host: bob is up first in duluth, minnesota. democrat, good morning. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. my comment is i do think there withks to russia president trump. i think that they should make is his taxrns public -- returns public so that the people that vote can get an idea of what's going on. and they do find something wrong with -- if they do find proof that trump has got these russia, i think it's going to affect the next election. i think you're going to find out that the american people aren't going to sit back and stand for mebody that wants to praise wave theputin and then flag in our face. that's my comment. fix thing to me, bob, why is it that it is a bad thing to have better relations with russia?

washington, washington beautify a raw stretch of land, planting with hundreds if not thousands of japanese cherry trees, happens to be the bally wick of the federal superintendent of public buildings and grounds, this person was always a west teco graduate and civil engineer appointed a new by each president and went in 1885, she got nowhere. the whole treeplanting movement was embraced, cities began planting trees. far and away, we planted a tree, in 1905 planting an arbor day tree with kids looking out which and to the schoolchildren in the united states, what he had to say in small part to exist as a nation to prosper as a state and live as a people we must have trees. part of the treeplanting is part and parcel, and you can see what it meant in cities, the other part of this why people embrace this and city officials being very enthused planting trees because trees also reviewed serving an important aspect of public help. the cities are hot and the trees are one of the few ways you can bring down temperature. cities are filled with horses and wandering pigs and chickens so other droppings are going up into the air, the trees also really help settle the dust. a healthy thing to be inhaling or breathing so trees, they viewed trees as something you want around you as a way to mitigate the environmental hazards. you notice here that cherry trees have arrived in washington. if you look at the date, 1925, the trees, there may be 10 or 12 years old. a lot of these began in 1885, she got nowhere until 1909 when the taft administration came in and there first lady nelly taft became her ally and in fact there was an original shipment. by this time the japanese government was very onboard and had thrown the thousands of cherry trees and send them whereupon they became enmeshed in this political feud i describe in my book at the first 2000 trees were all burned publicly on the grounds of the washington monument and the japanese were very good-natured saying you have a history of destroying cherry trees, george washington, didn't he do that? they sent another 3000 cherry trees and those did get planted in 1912. i mentioned this because i think anytime you want to do something it has a really classic consequence, it often takes a long time and in the case of 27 years. i say that to encourage everyone who gets involved in this. tree time is different than other k

well, university of washington, washington state, invite people. why doesn't the state of washington have the same standing that the scholars did in mandell? >> the -- again, you have to look at sort of the right of the state and i guess i was discussing the right of the state on behalf of the people that it wants -- it's bringing suit on behalf of. it's sort of collapsing the inquiry -- >> i understand, you're moving away, i'm dragging you away from the theory, just speaking for myself. i agree with you on that. the state can't do that. but the state is asserting a proprietary interest, in particular as the owner an operator of the universities and seems to me they line up very much the way the plaintiffs in mandell did. >> on that point our claim is it doesn't have a judicially c connizable or protected -- >> that's exactly the same case that was raised in kerry versus dinn and the majority of the court didn't say that. that was an immigration case. mandel was an immigration case both involving visa denials. >> we have to -- sure. then we have to talk about what the constitutional

washington, washington is going to have to get used to me. >> meghan: ambassador bolton, i want to go to you first. i think that press conference yesterday will be remembered for a very long time. the >> john: certainly as presidential conferences go, i think it was the most exciting ever in recorded history. what i hear, a charismatic, awe-inspiring man, trump ran for president this way, he won the election this way. this is the way he's going to do his presidency. if leon thinks it's bad politically, do you think hillary might win the election? is that what you're concerned about? i think the american people got used to donald trump. he's not going to change and if democrats or republicans alike don't like it, that's too bad, because that's what it's it's going to be. >> harris: a little bit of news, off to the left of the screen, we are waiting for the president to step up to the lectern and take the stage where he's in south carolina reviewing the dreamliner that boeing has made. he has landed, that is the news. president trump has landed there and we will continue to watch his arrival and his speech. >> sandra: what did you make of him saying his administration is a fine-tuned machine? obviously, there's a lot of his critics that will take issue with him. >> john: let him take issue. i think from his perspective, he made a point there was really critical which is look how hard it spend to get his cabinet nominations approved, compared to obama, compared to earlier presidents. i leave judges aside, because that's a different matter, it's a different branch of governmen government. that's not what the framers of the constitution intended. it wasn't until the middle of the 20th century, in most cases, where a cabinet of nominees even had hearings, let alone anybody cared whether they agreed or disagreed with the senators. a president is entitled to stock is a administration with the people he wants a assuming they're not felons or things like that. and marks a new level of partisanship in the administration, and the government when this happens. of course now we have all the sub cabinet nominees to go through as well, plus 150 vacancies that currently exist. if this is going to continue, i think he's entirely correct. >> lisa: i agree. yesterday was a wwe's. president trump needs some sort of theme song when he takes the stage. we've seen historic obstruction from the democratic party, so i do think it's difficult. he has in a lot but he's not kidding credit for, but i think it's difficult to have a fully functioning administration we don't have a fully functioning administration, right? in the news today, he says he's hiring a new communications director. this is important, because i worked in political communication and you do need a fully staffed shop, because when mike dusky's role is going to be as long term. building these various campaigns moving forward. sean spicer, as good as he is, he can't do both jobs. we might see and even change with this new hire. >> harris: i think the nuance of the message coming out of the administration as well. what you're getting is a someone who at the begin of the day does the call and they set the tone. you wouldn't have a kellyanne conway counsel to the president saying one thing and then 50 minutes later somebody saying something else. i want to mention, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell today said about president trump so far, i like what he's doing. i am a fan. i have not been a fan of the so-called extra discussions he's been engaged in. he was talk about tweets, he might have been alluding to that monster of a press conference yesterday, but how tricky is this ambassador for the establishment to navigate the president and love what he does, but maybe not how he talks about it? >> john: senator mcconnell is one of the experienced washington workers out there. you have to go back at some point, franklin roosevelt's fireside chats on the radio. we've got to the television era, now we are in the internet age and more and more politicians tweet. as the first president who's tweeted. it is unsettling for some people, is not going to change. >> sandra: that you look at the screen there, president trump is about to walk into that plant. the dreamliner will be unveiled today, but he is also expected to be talking jobs and the economy at this speech. we'll bring it to you alive when it happens. president trump looking to throw an elbow at his predecessor at that news conference yesterday. he called his own administration a fine-tuned machine. mr. trump ran down a list of problems he says former president obama failed to solve. watch. >> president trump: i inherited a mess. it's a mess. at home and abroad. a mess. jobs are pouring out of the country. you see what's going on with all of the companies leaving our country, going to m

also a writer at the washington washington -- welcome everyone great to see you. let us discuss the rift between president trump and arizona republican senator john mccain said that when seems to be growing and why does the grand canyon but last week's deadly forces. in yemen he called the. which killed a u.s. navy s.e.a.l. a failure. white house press secretary sean spicer went after mccain instead suggesting is that failure did it disservice to ryan owens. senator mccain was a p.o.w. for six years in vietnam struck back arguing that calling it a failure did not diminish the heroic spirit if you were called in the campaign president trump said mccain was not a war hero because he was was captured in two-day trump tweeted quote senator mccain should not be talking about the success or failure of the mission to a media rate only emboldened the enemy. he's been losing so long he doesn't know how to win anymore. the question now is president trump taking a risk here? i will start with you. why are we bound to call this mission a success? why can't you take a look at

washington. washington was born february 22, 1732. the news continues after this. >> jon: updating our top story. president trump's pick of h.r. mcmaster as the new national security adviser. mcmaster replaces general michael flynn. we're sure to learn more about general mcmaster in the coming days. president trump is expected to visit the u.k. later this year. the british parliament is wondering whether to take back the invitation. nearly two million people signed an online petition said the visit would cause embarrassment to the queen. the invitation still stands. mike pence has been leading with european leaders overseas. he says the u.s. still has strong commitment to working with europe. in the past up has said the e.u. could fall apart. blake burman is at the white house with more. >> one of the things that president trump complained about in records to nato, split put, some of the nato countries just need to pay their fair share. at issue, an agreement struck by the 26-minute nation that goes as follows. they need to contribute 2% of their gdp for defense. it's believed only the united states and four other countries have so far met that goal. in brussels, vice president pence standing alongside the nato secretary general delivered a two-fold message. that the united states still stands behind nato and secondly that the u.s. wants to see progress. >> as a candidate for office, president trump actually called attention to the fact that for too long, for too many, this burden has not been shared fairly among our nato allies. that must come to an end. >> jon, the president saying that president trump wants to see real progress by the end of this year. >> jon: and this invitation to visit the united kingdom for the president, what is the status of that? >> this got interesting at british parliament. british parliament discussing whether or not that offer for the president and the first lady to come on an official state visit should be rescinded. as you might remember when the british prime minister was here at the white house, week one of the trump administration in late january, that offer was fully extended. there's been the petition you talked about. 1.8 million signatures today. it's not like british parliament can halt this visit. they make for some uncomfortable headlines, john. >> jon: black berman reporting for the fox business network. thanks. >> thanks. >> jon: a key lawmakers is calling on to investigate reported ties between trump's team and russian officials. that is congressman adam schiff of california. he's calling on the committee to expand an investigation of russian interference in the election. we reported that california republican devin nunez is blaming leaks on former obama officials. we have peggy and vincent here. welcome. >> welcome. >> it's said that leaks forced out mike flynn, the president's first national security advisor. we now have h.r. mcmaster coming in to replace him. what do you think? >> a good pick. a solid pick. it will have somebody with experience, not just here in the united states but obviously globally, that knows counter insurgency, who knows how to address issues around the nation and the world especially with respect to islamic extreme that the president talks about. it's a good pick. on russia, this administration and their allies in congress have turned a very sad blind eye. when you have nunez more concerned about leaks than the fact that there may have been a relationship of some sort in which every single agency agrees between members of the trump campaign and russians, that's a problem and should be investigated. that's something that rather than focusing on leaks we should focus on the crime that may have happened. >> jon: is it any price the russians would meddle in an election? >> no. what is most fascinating, we think back to the campaigns. with the leaks against hillary, she never wanted to talk to the substance of the e-mails. she wanted to talk about the process, who leaked it, what was behind it. now the president is asking the same questions. they want to talk about the substance. when you read "the new york times" and other outlets, they're thinly sourced. i disagree. i don't think there is a very good connection between people around the president and to russia. the leaks -- we're not talking about political e-mails. we're talking about sensitive and classified information, this is the security of our country. we should be looking at who is leaguing this information. >> you have every single agency in the intelligence community saying that russia interfered in our elections. that is something that is incumbent on congress to investigate. now they're investigating leaks. congress investigating hillary clinton. i understand the chairman of the committee talks about that. but not investigating this serious allegation about a foreign power interfering in our elections, this boggles the mind. you have heros like lindsey graham and others that are talking about the need to do this. but for something, that boggles the independent many. jason chaffetz and the house -- >> whoa, congress is already investigating this. the committees are underway. the difference is whether or not we want to look at the -- who leaked the information or if we want to politicize this process and what did mike flynn did, do he act alone that is getting aw away on what could be damaging this information. there's american officials leaking official. america should be up in arms about it. >> what america should be up in arms about, congress has the ability to subpoena people. michael flynn, was he acting alone? what did the president know? other people that may have been involved in the situation with the russians. instead, the focus is on punishing the media and others that leaked the information other than getting to the fact that vladimir putin and his cohorts clearly involve themselves in our election and the fact that we don't have members of congress, all of them, on both sides of the aisle investigate that seems completely putting party before country. >> what about vince's point that someone leaked this information. >> somebody did. >> you're okay with that? >> obviously they broke the law. it's leaking classified information. rather than focus on the leaks, you should focus on the underlying behavior, which is you have a foreign power, an adversary of our nation, which mitt romney is very dangerous. it's incomprehensive why the chairman of the house oversight committee doesn't want to do anything like that. >> jon: are republicans looking at this with a blind eye? >> no. but democrats have tone deaf to this issue. they want to look at mike flynn and the president and what did he know and he forced him to resign. rightfully so. they're tone deaf because they don't want to look at what is most damaging to this country. a leak of classified information. >> no, what is dangerous is the russians are involved in the -- >> but they're doing it in europe. "time" magazine had a front page cover. we knew that are doing it -- >> we're dealing with bizzaro party of reagan thinks because they got rid of -- once they got rid of john dean and watergate, stop investigating. >> you don't see the government stop in -- >> they are. i don't see nunez or chaffetz undertaking an investigation. >> and we'll have you back. thanks very much. and u.s. troops are not in iraq to take that country's oil. he's backing away from president trump's suggestion to seize iraqi oil as part of a plan to defeat the islamic state. military commanders met with iraqi leaders about the talks. >> there's no doubt from my discussions today the iraqi people, the iraqi military and the iraqi political leadership recognizes what they're up against and the value of the coalition and the partnership in particular with the united states. i imagine we'll be in this fight for a wheel and stand by each other. >> u.s. commanders say they're loosening restrictions on american troops to let them work more closely with iraqi fighters. it comes as iraqi forces started a new push to retake the western part of mosul from isis. it's the terror group's last major strong hold. connor, what kind of time frame do officials have for liberating the west of mosul? >> one thing we've seen, these operations take longer than most people would expect. this began four months ago and they have secured the eastern half of mosul and much of the surrounding area. they're pushing on the western part. most people expect this to take several months. isis doug in there and holding out. they're fiercely fighting. there are some other things that will slow down this operation. hundreds of thousands of civilians left in mosul. there are much smaller roads in the western part of mosul than in the eastern part. slowing down armored vehicles, making it more difficult to move around. so most people think this operation will take several more months to complete. they do see according to u.s. commanders steady progress being made and isis losing ground. >> so once mosul is liberated and isis driven out, what is next for the u.s. forces there? >> we got a real indication by general townsend, the top u.s. commander there, secretary mattis, the u.s. is expecting to stay in iraq not only once isis defeated and as a base of operations to attack isis in series and help stabilize the iraqi military for the long-term. mattis and townsend both laying the groundwork for a much longer engagement for the u.s. troops in iraq going forward, jon. >> jon: connor powell. thank you. we're getting a look at surveillance video that shows assassination of kim jong-un's half brother in a malaysian airport. more next. ny wool?

>> jon, we know it's supposed to be revealed next week when lawmakers get back from recess. there's no word how much it will cost and republicans who are holding town hall meetings this week are getting chewed out by defenders of the aca only have talking points to use. leadership provided members with 19 pages of broad strokes that they want to see more tax credits and more flexibilities for states to make their own decisions. that's why mark sanford and rand paul are pushing their own bill with the backing of the conse e conservative house freedom caucus. >> there's a real debate in congress with what components, if you will, of the affordable care act should stay. the reality of what we'll see moving forward, folks up to the age of 26 will be able to stay on. that was part of the affordable care act. there's no pre-existing conditions baked into the cake. >> sanford and senator paul want to see the entire affordable care act repealed unstead of leaving provisions like coverage proper pre-existing conditionses in place, which seems like republicans may be preparing to do, john. >> the democrats, how are they react something. >> democrats like nancy pelosi, jon, are encouraging the protests that we've seen in support of the affordable care act and efforts to repeal it. the architect of obamacare says he's seen improvement. >> the first thing we need to do, change how we pay doctors and hospitals so they have an incentive to lower costs. we have to pay them in a different way. by bundles, captation that incentive rises them to lower the total cost of care. >> despite the confusion in the gop though and the opposition from democrats, the last update we got from speaker ryan is obamacare will be repealed and replaced in the first 200 days of this congress as planned. we'll be watching. peter doocy. we'll be right back. a crashing halt ] ah. when your pain reliever stops working, your whole day stops. awww. try this. for minor arthritis pain, only aleve is fda approved to work for up to 12 straight hours with just one pill. thank you. come on everybody. aleve. live whole. not part. and this is they like lobster party.y, red lobster's lobsterfest is back with 9 irresistible lobster dishes. yeah, it's a lot. try tender lobster lover's dream and see how sweet a lobster dream can be. or pick two delicious lobster tails with new lobster mix and match. the only thing more tempting than one succulent lobster tail, is two. is your mouth watering yet?

washington bureau chief. he's now the director of the school of media and public affairs at george washington university. why is the president ratcheting up of this war of words and actions, indeed, with the american press now. and will it work? well, why is the ratcheting it up? it plays to his base. there is a tremendous traction for blaming the media in this country among conservatives and others who really do believe that there is a very liberal press that is hostile to this president and conservative values generally. secondly, it deflect attention from some of the stories that would otherwise be gaining traction about the disarray and disorganisation in his white house, despite the fact that they say it's running like a well oiled machine. it is not, and people who have been through transitions in the white house before will freely say so. republicans and democrats alike. finally, it is a message that allows, i think the president to try to inoculate himself from setbacks and criticism to come. the more you demonise or marginalise the media, the less in this way of thinking, the less in this way of thinking, the media may factor in down the line. that being said, huge criticism is proper for line. that being said, huge criticism is properfor the media. that is out there. it's the way he's going about it, the personal vindictiveness and going as the former president said, in an institutional way against a fundamental pillar of the democracy. as we were suggesting earlier, the american press's reputation is not particularly strong. you have alluded to it. i did see one poll that showed that actually the media is more popular at the moment than president trump. that's quite a feat for the president trump to have achieved that. is there a sense this might be producing a bit of a backlash? yeah. i mean, it is phenomenal. donald trump is the ultimate media irony. he is a media creation who ran against the media to be elected. he has been railing against the media since it's been elected, and other media are showing signs of remission. it was a poll that you cited, and more americans said that they trusted for credibility the media than the president of the united states. he is playing a dangerous game. president of the united states. he is playing a dangerous gamelj president of the united states. he is playing a dangerous game. i was just going to say, there's obviously a lot of concern within the white house not just a lot of concern within the white house notjust with the president about the lea ks house notjust with the president about the leaks to the press that was particularly taken by one quoted in the new york times from the communications director, who says if this fight against leaks is leaked, they'll be big trouble. and of course, it was leaked. they clearly have big problems with leaks. does that say something about how the administration is being run? yes. having covered other white houses, the more competition in the white house, the more power centres, the more leaks there. i think that is what they are experiencing now. they also read against anonymous sources. and yet the budget briefing that the of management and budgeted today, there's insisted on being anonymous, their names were not attached. welcome to washingtons a lot of people here who know a lot of people, it is easy to league without getting caught. we have whistle—blowing protection in this country that protects people leaking information about wrongdoing. they will have to get used to it. one british toy today is amber rudd using the term fake news to describe criticism she doesn't like. how corrosive to think that term is —— british story. very corrosive. this is one of my biggest concerns as a journalist, formerjournalist is one of my biggest concerns as a journalist, former journalist and is one of my biggest concerns as a journalist, formerjournalist and an educator now, because we're confusing the public with this. fake news is deliberately, maliciously, com pletely news is deliberately, maliciously, completely fictitious creation of information to mislead and misdirect. news you don't like, including unfairor misdirect. news you don't like, including unfair or sensational reporting, may be irresponsible ruse. but it's not fake new

washington street. unfortunately, cameron's fundraising, like candles and -- like alexander williamson's, did not bring satisfactory results. she ended up paying all her cash on hand to buy the west washington street house and she ant into to furnish it for tad herself. by that time, robber had moved out into bachelor digs. she avoided a chicago is a by andrew johnson in august 1866 by of surging herself on a visit to springfield. lincoln's former law partner with someone who she had less than for andrew johnson, but not by much. she considered both men uncouth, drunkards, and not worth polish -- not with the polish of the postal on which she placed her husband. she wanted biography to contribute to the growing recognition of her husband's accomplishments. so as part of her duty as first widow, she consented to the interview. as part of my larger work on to see that our lincoln, that we celebrate today, was not the same lincoln of the 1860's. we can understand that it was really a campaign to appreciate and, which i think is really fully flowered and particularly in 2016. in the years to come, he would repudiate the interpretation of her remarks, particularly on religious beliefs. insult was added to injury when he gave a lecture on november 16, 1866, about lincoln and ann rutledge, which was raised on his "fact-finding" mission to link his former haunts, tracking down friends, relatives and neighbors. herndon suggested that lincoln had never loved his wife, but had hi fran rutledge, who died in salem in 18 35. this bombshell drove a stake into mary's heart. -- herndon's characterization of erased her. ,obert lincoln was appalled angered enough to put in writing that herndon was making a pass ass ofself and -- an himself. 1866-1867,ter of mary was earmark received. washopes for funds -- mary even more but seized. eiged.y was even more bes miserable that i received but few strangers and consequently the friends of other days are dearer than ever to me. in the spring of 67, she sought out a boarding school for thad in racine, wisconsin, but be towed it after a personal visit. managing well in the chicago academy. and robert was getting on with his legal career. revisited by the grisly details of their father staff when called to washington. -- washington to testify in the summer of 1857. of broad.as is convicted mother died in the gallows to summers before. begged off, pleading illness. during the fall of 1867, vulnerable, exhausted, mary became entangled in in elaborate scheme to cause or even more pain and humiliation to she concocted -- immigration she concocted the idea of disposing of unwanted items from her former wardrobe. since she had pledged to remain toe in from head to black, her finery remained in storage. she fell back on her own resources. she was prompted by reports of sales and lincoln mementos that were being auctioned off and fetching high prices. lizzie.e to her friend i want to ask you a favor. it is imperative that i do something for my relief and i want you to meet me in new york to assist me. the whole scheme, very sorted, very detailed, ended in fiasco, clothes on display after a cloud of sensational headlines. this publicity did not create commercial interest. only scorn and review. her son rob

washington. washington did not immediately respond, but they did send a food investigation mission to examine whether the situation was as dire as macarthur was reporting. they quickly wrote back that the situation was not quite as serious as macarthur painted it, it was serious indeed. this was followed by the appearance of former president herbert hoover was with a u.n. mission. he affirmed the food situation was extremely dire. he had printed to his report a comment that without food imports, the japanese would be in conditions like the concentration camps. maintaining order, much less economic recovery, would be impossible. these two definitions helped pave the way for food imports. although harrison and hoover moved washington to except that the food situation in japan was indeed very critical, the remaining factors that curbed washington's willingness to ship food. these included a worldwide food shortage, japan's status as a former enemy nation, and the needs of allied nations and liberated areas are good. in addition, some of the allies were particularly concerned that the americans were favoring the japanese over some of the other liberated areas and their own peoples. it must be stressed that the actual official ration was not nearly enough to sustain life. famously, a japanese judge who was profoundly disturbed by the fact that the majority of persons brought before them on economic crimes because of a search for food, he instructed his lack to be the only the official ration. he died. he was not the only case of that there was. they were required to go off the on the official ration by home production, the black market, charitable organizations, emergency distribution, and imports. the government con

washington times is alive and well. conservative views will never be drawn back and if they are heard. >> like me you arrived in washington at the beginning of the most moment's decade of the century. together we rolled up our sleeves and got to work. and oh yes, we won the cold war. >> everything we do starts with an idea, to create movements, change in politics, you have to stand for what is right. the passion of our reporting and commentary changes the course of political conversation. our impact across media is real. from traditional in print publications to digital and mobile delivery and our readers agree about the power of our message. we are changing how politics is reported with the washington examiner.>> the washington examiner begins my day, the reporting. you will find stories you won't find anywhere else. >> we are the political wit and expert analysis at the weekly standard. >> if you want to be president to what is being talked about in washington, read the weekly standard. >> we are engaging the next generation of young conservatives and rattler politics. >> red alert politics occupies a space that other media outlets ought to be occupying. >> this is media dc. >> ladies and gentlemen, this is a conversation about the constitution. please welcome from the conservative review, mark levine and senator ted cruz.

no mandates from washington to adopt common core in arkansas or tennessee if she is the education secretary and there will be no mandate in washington to evaluate teachers in washington state this way or that way and there would be no mandate from washington for me in order alaska if she is the secretary. she believes in the bill we passed in december with 85 votes that restore the stat state and classroom teachers and local school boards the responsibility for making the decisions about the standards and tests and how to evaluate teachers. the past because people were so sick and tired of washington telling the local schools so much about what to do. she would be that kind of education secretary. the two senators followed the n tradition by saying they would allow the senate to consider thd nomination and i'm confident that she will be confirmed.

washington story that's been run with the last several presidents. so, you know, things work as they do, and i just think this is the washington story of the moment and i'm not sure that there's any truth to it. >> lynn, is that how you see it, is this the washington story of the moment, nothing to see here, folks, no chaos, this is just how every transition, the first sort of month in, has been? >> well, thank you for the question. let me reflect. i think let's not do for the moment comparisons and just look at the first almost month of the trump white house. if you take away that flynn was fired, the labor secretary had to drop out because of incomplete vetting, and the long stream of consciousness press conference yesterday where the president himself said things that were counter to facts and people's experiences, i think that's the story that we see. and i think the conversation gets harder when we start putting these labels on it. it's chaotic, it's this, it's that. we see what it is and what this is, i think, is a president who is taking a longer time at getting his cabinet appointments made and his senate confirmable positions made. and that is part of what you're seeing here. okay. the undersecretary appointments haven't even been made in

washington did with the slaves in terms of rotating them. >> that's right. that's a touchy subject. there is excavations of the president's house. this was the house that george washington and mrs. washington lived for eight years while they were president and first lady of the country in philadelphia. philadelphia was the national capitol for ten years. they also had slaves. we know that he was from mount vernon. he had a plantation. but i wasn't aware before i came and worked at the historical society that he brought his slaves up here. pennsylvania had a law if your slaves were in pennsylvania, because pennsylvania was a free state, that after six months your slaves would automatically be emancipated. george washington would rotate the slaves back to washington every six months to avoid the law. it wasn't illegal what they did, but they did that to avoid their slaves being emancipated. when they found the remains of the president's house, you had two groups. you had one group that wanted it to just be george washington lived here, isn't that wonderful. and then you have another group that says we really want to tell the story of the enslaved people who lived here as well. it was very co

washington out of touch? probably, prop not much more than what's been strategize with washington itself. second question. there's a question about contempt by washington of citizens. one of the things that's fascinating, not encouraging but fascinating about this survey they've done is the fact that they found that washington insiders have low opinion of the trustworthiness ofcongress and the president and citizens for the most part two . again, this isn't much different from the way that citizens look at the rest of governments, some of the recent surveys. people with trust in government, 19 percent. trust in the presidency, a little bit higher, 36 percent. trust in congress, nine percent. having trust in congress. congress in fact is less popular than either headlights or column colostomy's. it is hard to go anywhere with people with lower opinions of any institution than that that americans have toward congress. so if there is contempt among the members of the washington community toward the governing establishment, it's not a lot different than the contempt that a lot of americans in general have. the situation is not good and we know we need to d

they understood the moment belonged to washington so with that word, he gestured head over to washington and washington intern gestured him to his own second-in-command benjamin lincoln. after yorktown, there were no more major american battles but that doesn't mean that the battle stopped. between the alliance for other nations in fact by the time that yorktown, britain was fighting separate nationstates and it was simply overwhelmed. for example they absorbed over 60,000 spanish troops but ultimately failed. the fighting was that fierce. fans had allied with the kingdom in india to drive the company from the continent and in fact the last major battle of the war was equally fierce intent and six months after the peace treaties have been signed. 1783 ended up eight years of war and during that time there were 200,000 french and spanish troops and sailors that fought in the war compared with an estimated 250,000 to 380,000 americans. they would never have fought the war without spain. what i hope all of you take away from this is the following. the united states did not achieve independence by itself.
