how is washington different? >> first of all, it's always very dangerous to ask hypotheticals about factual things you have not examined. i have not done this with all the presidents. i won't attempt to answer that question. i will say this. those that i have looked at there are varying levels of christian witness that do show up. some are very unwilling to put a lot of christian language in what they write. others are more. some clearly do it for political expediency. we need to recognize their private correspondence is the most important. it's not for show. it's what they communicate. if i were to do the kind of task you gave me, of course i would want to see their public statements. but in a generally christian america, to the extent that that was favored, they would speak in that language. but maybe their personal life would have little interest in spiritual things. so i think i could give you a method how i would pursue it. i cannot predict it. there are some who have had deep christian witness that's part o

washington, he fully grows on washington because he is so gung ho. washington, the whole war, all of his men are deserting in droves and here's this french kid who is like put me in coach. [laughter] and when washington says okay you can join my military family, which was lingo of the day to basically washington is saying you can become one of my minions like the way alexander hamilton was described as a member of washington's military family, but remember lafayette was an orphan and when washington said family he meant chummy minyan, but what lafayette heard was son. then, hijinks ensued. [laughter] so, i guess i will take some questions if you have them. there are these microphones set up here. yeah, let's get cracking. [laughter] >> hello. i was wondering when i read the book if you have seen the show hamilton and what you thought of the portrayal of lafayette? >> if you did not hear that the question was about hamilton. [laughter] >> have i seen hamilton, i obviously love hamilton, even though there is so much a molten in hamilton. and you know w

george washington was a patron. he had door steps made their, pavers -- made there, pavers, all sorts of things. i will figure this out. there. these are pretty random. you should read it fast. [laughter] >> this is colin williamson's original contract. they were so excited to get a stonemason, they turned it all over to him. here is a quiet creek where it was dugout, and in the quarry was a sort of mountain of stone back you see, it is cut into. that's where they started taking the stone out of, and they would ship it down the creek to the river and put it on barges and pole it, stick close to the shore, and pole it 35 miles to washington. when they got to washington, here was a special stone landing on the creek. they took a subsidiary creek and made locks, and the stones were lifted and oxen took them to the building site. please remember how heavy the stones were, extremely heavy. they had none of the conveniences we do. here we are in the quarry again. here are some apparently inferior stones, this is a wonderf

he came to chicago because of harold washington. he use those lessons in running for president of the united states. in terms of local legacy in the upcoming election, i'm not sure any candidates that have declared for mayor are of the same caliber of harold washington. one thing people did not understand was they thought harold got elected because of his rhetoric. did not understand the roots and foundation that harold had laid that helped form the coalition. a lot of people have not done the groundwork to get the community and base that's needed to be successful. i'm not sure there's that legacy in the current crop of candidates. >> you are right about barack. i had lunch with him when he was a state senator. he said that he would like to be mayor of chicago one day. >> when you're predicting things, that's our mayor. and he just blew me away. >> i would say that if you look at the books that come before mine, most, not all but most say harold washington was a tremendous public speaker and charismatic politician. but not much of a

george washington was a patron. george washington had doorsteps made it there, favors made and all sorts of things. these are pretty random. this is the original contract. the commissioners are so glad to get a stonemason. here is a quiet query -- quiet creek where it was dug out. backt of mountain of stone where you see. they have started taking the stone out of it and they would creek and putthe and pull it up the river. when it got to washington, there was a special stone landing on the creek. the stones were lifted up and they put them to the building side. please remember the stones were extremely heavy and they had none of the conveniences we do. quarry again. the we have a tree root running through. the first issue was splitting the stones. here's the only house i know of that was ever built out of it. that is replaced today by limestone. oh my heavens it was so deteriorated in 1976 that they replaced it with limestone in the registry -- in the restoration. general braddock came here. carlislee home of john ,

harold washington i was getting to know in the archives was not necessarily the harold washington i was reading about in some of the other books and articles. so that's when i decided to do the book. i spent an awful lot of time up on the ninth floor of the harold washington library poring through those boxes of letters and memos and so forth. and then i was fortunate enough to talk to a number of people like jackie grimshaw, for example, and some others who had been in the washington administration in one capacity or another, who knew him personally. and that's how i pieced it together. >> and so, jackie, when did you -- you were with him for so long. how did you first encounter harold washington, and then how did it evolve from there for you? >> well, i grew up in the third ward of the city of chicago, and the third ward was ralph metcalf. >> ah. >> ralph metcalf had an organization, and harold was part of that organization along with some other folks like our former cook county board chairman, etc. so ralph metcalf was catholic, and he went to corpus christi church which was the

joe is a washington, retired u. veteran himself and has been invigorated by giving back to our most recent veterans and he stresses the significance of visiting our nation's capital and seeing the very documents that every serviceperson swears to defend. the u.s. constitution and the declaration of independence. each year, the warriors to washington trip grows and evolves, continuously adapting to support the community and always striving to benefit as many veterans as possible. i am overjoyed to see members of my constituency stepping up to empower our veterans, and i'm pleased to recognize the warriors to washington organization, which i am proud to say was founded in my district. i ask my fellow colleagues in the house of representatives to join me in saluting the unwavering dedication of warriors to washington and all those who are involved in their admirable efforts to serve our veterans. thank you and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the chair recognizes the gentleman from cali

but if one looks behind washington, what was washington trying to achieve? the states had succeeded in their revolution. they were still disassociated. they were all internally like sovereign. he had to bring them together into a nation. he had to forge a group of independent states into a nation. he would do this in a number of ways and he did it cleverly. one of the things he would use is he would use the architecture of his time. he would use the idea of ordered places. he would use classical ideas. he would create a capital which in fact was not the capital of any existing state, but was a new depital. that federal capital would be the foundationf the new na it would distinguish the states from the nations. this was a very important part of his idea. what architecture was going to be was a language, a syntax, a vocabulary, a methodology by which symbolism and utility could be united. what i want to do is to come to the white house itself. before turning to how it came about, what i would like to do is briefly look at it by way of analysis. you press some

on washington, as well. usually not in a positive way. there was talk about the negative tone about solidarity day, and angrier tone. not 1963 and i8, think that is to be expected. the media talked about ralph 's lumbering and terrible speech. it was not the "i have a dream" speech, it was smaller but there were those that were relatively unfair. to me, the solidarity day is important, but not one of the most important legacies or moments of the campaign. it was really about the interactions people have with each other often times in monday undane moment monday illustrative.re you had to have a park permit and the department of interior to have this encampment on the washington mall, and five days later, the government chose not to renew it. the police came in and a vacuum at it those in resurrection city and flattened the place. this is important, because it affects what historical documents are left about the poor people's campaign. destroyedents were from the campaign on work because they were here. it to

welcome back to world news headlines now donald trump out cold on staff at the washington post to go on strike against the newspaper's billionaire owner american reports from the u.s. capitol. well this is yet another dispute between the washington post and its employees but to remind the viewers the washington post is owned by jeff bezos the founder of amazon and the richest man alive according to forbes he purchased the paperback in twenty thirteen for two hundred fifty million dollars and the story trumps of her into sort of with the washington post union publicly calling on bases to provide better working conditions and better pay for their workers i'm fighting for a decent raise because i believe they're one which contributed to the post success deserted i'm fighting for better retirement benefits i'm frightened retain some amount of job security but this isn't the first time bezos has been publicly called out for not providing suitable working conditions when he visited germany back in april to actually receive an award for business innovation and social responsibility ironical

yet is there a coherent policy line on russia in washington. there are seven or eight coherent lines but all together they produce in coherence by that i mean the congress thinks it knows what it's doing. there are some individuals let's say the department of defense who have one orientation in the state department which is a revolving door who have another and so on no a coherent administration line has not emerged because they're fighting internally because trump started off as a prick matic complainer a he wanted to make good with russia but then they stopped wishbone tat his hands does this mean that the american line towards russia is pretty termite no matter who the president will be no no this is a this is unique with trump no tied his hands in particular because the pass this legislation requiring sanctions right and that is certainly tied to trump personally because of the suspicion that he colluded with russia or that members of his campaign team. up to no good with russian representatives and the two who knows him there's this anger

with washington and adams, it was pretty courtly. when you would meet them, they would be standing on a dais and they would bow and you would move on. we have heard about jefferson and helter-skelter. she had an elegant style. she invited everybody. she dispenseled with many of the formal social protocols, but she avoided giving anybody offense because she treated everyone the same. it was unusual at that time period for the woman to sit at the head of the table, but this suited the madisons the best because dolley could pull off any event kind of seamlessly and madison could sit in the center of the table and she was able to direct the conversation around him. at one point vice president gary eldridge tried to sit at the head of the table. like i'll take care of that for you, dolley, and she very firmly put him in his place. afterwards he wrote his daughter saying it would have been impossible for me to have equaled her in this instance. she did everything with elegant ease. i imagine that was an awkward moment. dolley also knew wha

, but with washington journalist you didn't. you could talk to them, agree, disagree. that is changed and conservatives feel very cornered by this. i'm not saying that others don't feel the same way. mehe reason they don't trust e media is years ago and it was wrong. everybody knows that reporters get things wrong and they decide when the report something they don't like that it was probably wrong. >> this really links up to some of the previous conversations about challenges to the media in the age of tron. to me, another one of the central challenge is when he is calling you the enemy of the people, when he is at rallies describing reporters ask him, and a thing for the most part, certainly when i was a news reporter, strove to be fair and objective. how were they to respond? and simultaneously, how do you cover fairly apolitical candidate mla president who says things that are demonstrably untrue. i know there's a lot of frustration on the left with failing to call out lies. i am not actually a big believer in using the word
