you heard what ben franklin once said. you heard what he said about compromise and what it might do. where do you see the next months and years up until the next presidential election taking this country? >> well the thing that worries me is that it is one thing to have divided government if you have both sides that treat each other as people in another party but can compromise and collaborate. what we have seen in the last few years is what we saw in the 1850s. where the other side is seen as the other. and it is highly partisan. and what this election has shown is the one positive thing that came out of it. more women coming into the government for the first time, outsiders coming in without the plague that we have seen of hyperpartisanship. their whole infrastructure out there. and they are bringing in as research shows they are more willing to cross party lines, women are than men and veterans too. a common mission that they work for and common goal. even into the 80s when because so many of the congressman and senator

if you have ever read ben franklin's biographies, he and ben franklin were close business associates and friends. when whitfield first came to philadelphia, franklin did an experiment. he is walking around the edges of the crowd trying to figure out how many people can hear him being at one time. -- speak at one time. franklin said i think maybe 25,000 to 30,000 people could hear him speaking at one time. that does he that whitfield, he had a background in theater as a teenager. he knew how to project his voice. he must have been enormously loud. a lot of the portrait that we have of him is when he is old and sick. i like portraits like this one, when he is a young man. relatively young and they thought he was good-looking. you can tell for yourself what you think about that. a young man, very dynamic. unlike edwards, whitfield's presentations were without a manuscript. he would pretty much memorized his sermons and he had a repertoire of a selection of 10 or 15 sermons that he would rotate through. because all he did was itinerant. he did not have a congregation, so he could really p

why ben franklin? what happened in our country that made that all happened? >> accident, providence, design, the enlightenment, changed the way we think about thought. just as the cyber age does, we can talk about that later. newton, for over a century was the most popular person in the world. people had not read this, the idea that the apple falls, and the human mind of its own accord can know, what the law is. this was liberating. and, this enlightenment drove people to write and to think on their own. they did not need help from a church. they did not need help. they could think on their own, chris. and they were you know, franklin wrote thousands of letters. adams, the same. they were great writers. and, i think it was that enlightenment. the enlightenment did not just come from england here. the framers, sons of the enlightenment, they were fascinated with all sorts of clocks and wheels, and gears, pendulums, and that is why the american constitution has a certain newtonian metaphor to it , talking about the congress in acts, the president vetoes, the co

when ben franklin left the constitutional convention. he was one of the 39 signers, lady alesa pound who was a political socialite came umto him and said, dr. franklin, we have a monarchy, or a republic? and he replied, madam, a republic if you can keep it. all right? those words have always resonated in my mind. can we keep it? so for me, that's the most important thing that you could do. and you might say to me i don't know how old you are. you may not be voting age yet, but i suspect so, but you do look very mature. it doesn't mean you can't go out there and volunteer your time in the voting booth. they a take teem of all ages to do simple things like hand out formed. you can go with people who can people and so when you're 18 you can hit the ground running. you can talking to people about issues. you're never too young to have a voice in this world and make people understand the value of things that are important to you. you can talk to voters, and convince them of their both their obligation to vote, and the way you want them to vot

a microphone, and if you've ever read ben franklin's autobiography, he and franklin were close. franklin, when whitefield first came to philadelphia, franklin did an experiment. fra franklin goes around to the edges of the crowd to see how many people can hear him at one time. he said i think 25 to 30,000 people can hear him speaking at one time. so that tells you whitefield had a background in the theater as a teenager and he was a play actor before his conversion. he knew thou how to project his voice, and i think he must have been enormously loud, okay? and when a lot of the portraits we have about whitefield is old and kind of sick, and i like portraits like this one when he's a young man, relatively young. they thought he was good looking. you can tell for yourself what you think about that, but a young man, very dynamic and unlike edwards, whitefield's presentations were without a manuscript. he would pretty much memorize his sermons and he had a repertoire of, you know, a selection of ten or 15 sermons that he would rotate through because all he did was itinerant and he d
