during me is eliza collins and john harwood. big welcome to you both. john, you wrote this new article headlined "amid washington dysfunction: lack of accomplishments, trump clings to his shrinking support." does that strategy have any chance of improving his approval rating, john in it's now down to what, 33% in the latest quinnipiac poll. >> it doesn't. he's been going backwards. we talk a lot about the trump base and people do a lot of interviews with trump voters and talk about how they're sticking with them through the tough times. some of them are, but some of them are not and that's why if you look at his approval rating since january, they have slowly drifted down from 44 to 38, when you average a bunch of polls together, and then you cited that quinnipiac poll down to 33 and more significant with that, even with his core demographic group, those white non-college voters who propelled him to the nomination and to the white house, his numbers have shrunk among that group, he's now net negative in the quinnipiac poll and in terms of the intensity

because no one knew that eliza's orphanage still existed.s is what happened, it was of december 2014. we had not opened yet to the public theater, but it was already sold out and they were putting out new tickets. and graham windham sent out a tweet to our tweeter in chief lin-manuel, and said, thank you. we are graham windham and we are the successor organization -- we are the organization that eliza started and lin did not know that and we did not know that. 'sddenly, allies of'-- eliza orphanage is active in going crazy. jeffrey: there are different programs -- luis: there are different programs that have zaen created through the eli project, money for the cast to work artistically with the kids windham. graham the latest technology project they are putting in the school, 2 in have a school since 190 westchester. it is a k-12 school. someone from puerto rico called me and said i'm going to see "hamilton." you don't know me, i would love to have breakfast with you. i said yes. the guy happened to be the chief person for hewlett-packard. an

you know, "we are the organization eliza started." and lin did not know that and we did not know that. so suddenly, eliza's orphanage, everybody finds out -- >> so they want would be supportive. >> yeah. >> is active and going crazy right now. >> there are different programs that have been created in this relationship from the eliza project, through broadway cares, money is given for the cast to work artistically with the kids that are being served by graham windham. and the latest technology project that they're putting in their school, they have a school since 1902 in westchesterfor 300 kids who live there. it's a k-12 school. someone from puerto rico called me and said, "hey, i'm going to see 'hamilton' -- >> i bet you got a lot of calls from puerto rico saying, "hey, i'm going to see 'hamilton'." >> he said i want to have breakfast with you. the guy happened to be the chief person for hewlett-packard, and said, we want to do something with you guys." and i said, "fund graham windham." and now, two years later, $250,000 lab that he

eliza, i want to ask you, are they off limits to steve bannon?is the president's much-beloved daughter and her husband, two of the closest people to hi personally and professionally given their roles there in the west wing. they may not share his ideology completely, but i think if steve bannon goes after them, there may be some sort of backlash. what do you think? >> i don't think anybody is off limits to steve bannon. i mean we saw -- steve bannon and jared kushner have been kind of at war throughout this presidency, counterleaking with their allies. and so i definitely don't think they're off limits. i'd actually like to point out i was talking to a conservative aide last night about just bannon's departure and what this meant for conservatives and there's definitely concern about access to the white house now that bannon and even to some extent priebus were gone. they felt like those were their point people but they also saw great power with bannon being outside with breitbart. while bannon is trump's ally right now, if he ever feels like tru

eliza brown was not just some cook in the back kitchen. she had grown up in a world without any security in which she had to seize every opportunity she could to carve out safety and advantage for herself and as the cook to a brigade commander she sees her opportunities and makes the most of them. so she transforms herself into his household manager. so she begins to trade information with couriers from other commands. she always has baked treats ready whatever someone comes from another command and she pumps them for information. she becomes the interceder for the men with custer. they go to her first when they need a favor from their commander. she is someone who buildings her own patronage network, districting food out of the general's mess which especially irritates custer after the war when he's a lieutenant colonel and not earning so much money so she is someone who is this formidable person who's living with custer and he likes and respects and becomes a part of his life. so the reality of slavery and the way it's being broken down

it was founded in 1806 by eliza hamilton. i spoke with jeffrey seller and luis a.da jr. >> in 2006, it celebrated 200 years of existence. and when you think about it, it is foster care kids, the new orphans in our society. so the-- the institution has more and has evolved in helping thousands and thousands of kids in the foster care system. >> rose: so they basically place people-- kids where they can go and live with a family that takes care of foster-- and then they make-- they may not stay there for a long-term they do, and they work to get permanent homes from them. but they're different to the degree that they're making a commitment to that child or to that adolescent, to be with them until they're 25, not just until they place them. but they will continue to work with them until they're young adults to make sure that their path to success is established. most of them will let go with placement, with adoption. but they will continue to work with these kids. >> rose: and eliza hamilton, alexander hamilton's widow, who lived to be a long, what, 90 or something?

eliza johnson's daughters when eliza was terribly ill took -- eliza was terribly ill took -- ill took over the role of the mother. if it wasn't a daughter, it was a niece. buchanan had his ward and niece come in and be first lady. so there are any number of them in the 19th century, sort of a tribute to the fact that it was absolutely firmly believed that you had to have a hostess at any state affair. >> well, jefferson's daughter martha played that role after dolly did this a bit for a time. she would come up from monticello, reluctantly, but as i said before after the sally hemmings allegations, to create a united front. other times she came up with her kids and she resided -- jefferson had a policy of doing -- he did a lot of entertaining, and he did sort of single sex entertaining for the times that she wasn't there. so it would be men from the federalist party, men from the republican party, not mixing people. you sort of wonder about that, whether -- because he did not have a wife that he could present, was it the idea is that everybody would come and it would be stag instead of

eliza, not that we're counting, but it's been one year and 23 days since mr. trump named pence to the ticket. of course, it was in a tweet. have we seen number two make moves like the vice president has so early on in his administration? >> i'm not sure if they haven't made the moves, but these are more public and that's because what jonathan was saying, there's a lot going on, there's these investigations, so there's lots of speculation. they may have been making the moves in fundraising and things like that. it's just not as public. >> you're sitting there in washington, d.c. do you get the sense people in our nation's capitol believe the vice president's strong denial? >> i think so. i mean, i think if you're a trump supporter, the denial was very strong. pence has aligned himself so closely with trump. i think it is hard to kind of see any sort of wedge, but i guess we'll have to see as things go along with, you know, how the numbers show and the different investigations where people believe pence will be in 2020. >> before we get to the russia investigati

( laughter ) i don't know what to say. i don't know how to say that. thank you for looking way younger than you are. >> you're so welcome! >> stephen: is there anything you change about, like, your walk or anything like that? as an actress, how do you go, "okay, have to get into younger spine?" what is it you do to make yourself younger. >> i'm a young-- i'm 42, so i'm a young 42. i'm pretty naive. i'll still pretty green about many things. but i feel like youth or the idea of youth, you know, i've never felt the need to lie about my age, me, myself. but i feel like the idea of youth is how you look at the world, right? hopeful optimism and try new things what? uh-oh. i'm scared. >> stephen: can i do an exercise with you? >> sure. >> stephen: now, look at the camera

>> eliza johnson didn't go at first. >> she came at some point but for long stretches of time. >> what about truman? >> first i was going to say martha washington because there was no white house. >> trick question. >> but truman hated being in the white house. she wanted to be back home in missouri as often as possible. she sent her laundry back to missouri to show she really was not buying this whole president thing. >> he put up with her. >> right. she burned all othe letters she had written to himver the years. she said what about history? she said that's what i'm thinking about. she felt he had joined history and he didn't want to. there was a lot of back and forth. the nice thing is they wrote. he is often in the dog house. you're trying to manage being president and the cold war and worrying about her being unhappy that she is there. >> okay. i think we are getting the hook pretty soon. let me ask my question that i care a lot about. grandmother first ladies, there have been several, right? do we know anything? >> yeah. they are more in their 50s at least in the 19th century man

she knew eliza and she knew this is a woman her age who had a reputation for being volcanic. the years in the north and knowing that her ownership would change made ona really make the decision to free herself. >> all right. so now i'm going to give the story away and i only got a minute to go. you get the book and read how she got away but i do want to advance quickly to this question, how as the book suggest were they caught without telling the story how she got away and who helped her, how did she never get caught because she lived 50 years past martha and george washington. how did she never get caught? >> she spends nearly half a century as a fugitive. you know, her courage. it was her bravery but also it was the help and tradition of what we know people who put themselves in jeopardy to help run aways and that was ona and the free black community. it was white men and women that kept her safe. i think what is so incredible about this story is that for really the rest of george washington's life, he pursued her and so no matter how long he lived or how long martha washin

many lines from the play struck me and stayed with me but one kept running through my head eliza hamilton, the wife of alexander hamilton sang with a chorus of the founding fathers who lives, who dies, who tells your story. this is relevant to my remarks and books because in any war and armed confrontation the first questions are the determinative ones of who lives and who dies. stripped of all other explanations of the purposes and the goal of the war this is the fundamental human question that those that go to war must face. indeed it is the cruel purpose of the war of who lives in who dies. that's why i've had so much trouble in recent years as politicians and pundits have talked about boots on the ground as a metaphor for sending in combat troops. i keep pointing out that we are not talking about shoe leather. we are talking about flesh and blood. we are talking about our young and we are asking of them who lives and who dies. but the burden after all of the shooting stops in any war is the lingering question of who tells your story. who tells your story of the shared narrative of the

the first child is named after eliza. clearly dred scott is living a very different kind of life as a slave with dr. emerson. >> somewhere along the way dred scott offered to buy his freedom from dr. emerson, and for his wife. where would a slave have gotten the means to do that? >> that's a great question. by 1846 this household is settled back in st. louis. legal knowledge among and between slave people is circulating. many, many enslaved people are given freedom to purchase their own freedom. the scots learn a lot in st. louis about their own circumstances and how to challenge it. and at the same time there is no formal mechanism for self-purchase in a jurisdiction like missouri. so to buy one's freedom requires the consent and accord with one's owner. as we know, irene emerson declined and leaves the scotts no alternative it seems but to file a lawsuit. >> where would they have gotten the knowledge and understanding about filing a lawsuit, what the process would be and the money to do such a thing? >> that's an intere

chris eliza, to van jones' point, you wrote a piece this evening about the response which you feel fellshort from the president of the united states. >> yeah. i mean we look to presidents -- not every day, sometimes not every week, maybe once a year at times, in moments like these to lead, to be the best of us, to say we mourn this loss, we speak out against this hate-filled bigotry. but i know we're better than this. what donald trump did was -- and you played the clip earlier. to me it is stunning. essentially he said, hey, look, both sides -- you know, both sides do this. no, there isn't another side here. there's hate-filled bigots who, as van said, discriminate against people based on how they look or what they believe, and then there's people that say, "we don't believe in that." there's not -- he is trying to fit it on to -- he, trump, is trying to fit it on to a political continuum. conservatives say this, liberals say that and who knows who is right. we have a lot of conversations like that on our airwaves, and that's fine, but this is not that thing. when you do that you give
