[laughter] akhil: it is preposterous because one is 6'3" and the other is 5'7". but washington at a young age did take a cruise -- [laug

at one point in hamilton's relationship with washington, washington says to him when he -- when he came to washington, he says i want you to come see me immediately. hamilton says, yes. he runs into the marquis lafayette and stops to chat for a while with this young, very charming fellow. washington is serious, he says he kept me waiting for 10 minutes and hamilton says, i only kept you waiting for two minutes, sir. washington is unrelenting in his disapproval on hamilton and hamilton is furious. he says that always disliked the interpersonalthe dependence. he added, for three years past i have felt no friendship for him. the truth is, our dispositions are the opposites of each other. the pride of my temperament would not suffer me to profess what i did not feel. said, i have an 18 her old son who says the same thing about me on a regular basis.

i agree with you that washington -- you've said and written that washington would not agree with the notion of american exceptionalism today. can you explain that? >> there is a letter washington writes in 1783. it's the last of the circular letters to the states. it's probably the most profound letter washington ever wrote, and he actually wrote it, okay? washington did not write the farewell address, hamilton wrote it. it was washington's ideas, but nevertheless. he says we're coming into existence as a new nation, even though we're 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's not talking about the fact there's all these native americans there. we begin with the biggest trust fund, he says, of any new nation. so we have all these advantages, okay? and that -- so it's our very uniqueness that means you shouldn't expect other countries to be able to duplicate this easily. and that's the exact opposite of the meaning that most people using the term "american exceptionalism," so washington

john: when donald trump talks about the swamp of washington is talking about self-dealing between washington insiders and the politically connected. that comes in many forms. the optic high wall street movement was angry because as they see it wa enables corporate greed. [chanting] corporate greed has got to go. john: corporate welfare, that's a different point those protesters have a lot of silly ideas but they are right to complain about welfare for corporations. after the housing bubble bursts, banks got real doubts with your money. they paid it back but it might not have been paid back and it might not be next time. when big business goes to washington to partner with politicians it really means they seek privilege is from government. subsidies and rules that make it tougher for competitors -- competitors. the result? >> americans understand the bailouts are bad. they want the swamp drained but if you understand much of government that they like ads to the problem. this picture of an iceberg explains it pretty well. bailouts are visible but just as damaging our regulations, subsidies, th

washington and judge mathe judge may have shard similar concerns, but of course only martha washingtonas allowed to express content and sorrow. everyone knew it including her frightened slaves. robert lucas would soon be made aware of it when he arrived at the estate things were in disarray between 1789 and 81 to escort his own and grandchildren to new york but was surprised and a bit concerned when he arrived to find a frenzied and hectic scene. the manifestation of the conflicting feelings. it was an emotional moment for the slaves and first lady after an early dinner making arrangements that brought us to 3:00 in the afternoon when we left mounts be. a number of the field negroes made their appearance to take leave of their mistress. they seemed greatly agitated and effective. her mother must have been one of those agitated slaves. she was losing her songs also. they would have joined in the morning. he watched the children leave mount vernon a reminder of what little control they had over the lives of their children. if she found a comfort in that day. still she knew the relationsh

washington is curious. he says, you kept me waiting for 10 minutes and hamilton says, i only kept you waiting two minutes and they argue about it. unrelenting in his disapproval and hamilton is furious. he writes to a man who would be his father-in-law, "i always disliked the office of having a kind of personal dependence. for three years past i have felt no friendship for him and have professed nun. -- none. our dispositions are the opposite of each other and the pride of my timbered and would not suffer me to profess what i did not feel." i have an 18-year-old son who says the same thing about me on a regular basis.

the district, washington doesn't serve the people. and instead of taking great experiences outside of that, take that informed public policy, and the career field. and serve a better future for america. whatever term limits? >> i pledge eight years, i fundamentally believe we should be the example from the change we want to see in this world. .. i hope to lead the economy, hoped to leave the country, hopefully the fiscal situation better than i found it. and to have done my part to be able to ensure that every generation of americans that comes after us will live better than this one. >> you start by making random phone calls to constituents in the district? >> not every day i starts up at everyday i do that. people don't like to get calls at 7 a.m. i get to hear the most fantastic stories and what they're focused on. >> to have you talked to this week? >> actually the alzheimer's group was up here this week advocating and i talked with woman last week who had expressed to me has she cares for her husband. they been married for decade

martha washington and george washington married -- it was her second marriage. all of the money was hers. when he married her, he made a really good catch. her first husband had died, and she was accustomed to considerable comfort and wealth in virginia where she lived with her first husband. and so, she transfers that tell skill that she has already amassed as the wife of a wealthy plantation owner when she marries george washington who is still finding his way when he becomes a commander in the revolution. when we look at somebody like martha washington and save the iness of her outfit, i think that balances really well with the focus of the piercing gaze she gives us. again, this is somebody not to be messed with. she was a short in stature, but i think she was mighty in personality. and charles willson peale's portrait of her is a wonderful study in determination. i mean, just look at that chin. she is not somebody that is going to acquiesce to anyone, even her husband, president george washington. we talked about marquis lafayette as a young man, his portra

washington certainly knew that jefferson was more knowledgeable, more intellectual than he was, but washington had other talents that jefferson respected. he was a born leader. he just exuded leadership. he had, as adams said, the gift of silence. that is knowing when to keep quiet and not make a fool of yourself. washington was extraordinary and by far i think the most impressive. i mean, we group all these founders together, and we've done a terrible thing by collapsing washington's birthday into presidents' day. his -- he stood head and shoulders, both literally and figuratively, above them all. they respected him as their superior, and i think we need to recognize that. he simply was -- and explaining that is not easy because how many battles did he win? i mean, what is it that's the secret of his appeal? i think it's a complicated story, but it can be explained. and i think -- i think he's just the greatest of the presidents that we've ever had. he certainly should be number one, and he was the greatest of these founders. >> earlier in the greenroom you and i were talking about world war

one of the questions you're asking this week is is washington changing him or he changing washington. probably both, right? >> my panel concluded, hands down, washington's winning. . >> why? i would think you would say that right now, right? >> in the first 100 days they have had the upper hand. whether it's stopping obamacare, whether it's frankly changing the president's mind on china. changing the president's mind on nato. holding him back from the brink on nafta. vice president took a little issue with the idea that washington's winning. he believes that they are making progress here in bringing change, but i think that the biggest struggle they have is that when you look at it, there's two ways to look at the first 100 days. one hand it's a ramp-up and you don't want to be judged and you have your term remaining. if you look at the president. things get even harder. and this has been a very difficult first 100 days for him, small legislative victories. how is this going to look in the next 18 months? it's not clear. >> well talking with the vice president, that's not the only exc

i will tell you in part how that works for washington. recall the famous phrase, he was eulogized when he passed away in 1799. that is not even three years after he left the presidency. as first inized war, first in peace and first in the heart of his countrymen. we go back to the revolutionary war where he is the commander in chief of the american forces, fighting off the british to become independent and not a colony. the very first thing he had to learn -- dr. greg has walked a lot -- written a lot about this. ashington was not always successful military man. he was not successful in leaving troops in the french and in dian war. he had to learn to distinguish the obvious from the not obvious. here is one, make sure you locate the latrines are a enough away you are not expecting your troops -- in fact in your troops -- infecting your troops with diseases. effective was learn intelligence gathering. obvious, he had to learn under the circumstances of the revolutionary war. beneficial most intelligence. establish clear rules, this is pret
