in the play could have happened but they probably didn't most of them. >> tell us about the john quincy adamst we see on stage. >> you seeour different john quincy adams, each one at a different age and stage by his life played by both men and women, white folks, people of color. it's trying to be a story of america, of the sort of full picture of america now. soven though it's a historical play in the sense of these are historical characters, it's ally much more about what's going on in the world right now. >> okay. interesting. phyllis, you are one of four actors who have the opportunity of playing portraying john quincy adams, explain the part of his life that you cover and what it's like as a woman to play this character. >> well, what's great about it is, all four actorsre on stage at the same time so i have really the benefit since i'm playing john quincy adams later in life, i get to watch t life unfold before me as the early parts of his life are played by the other actors. i kind of have started to think about it as if i'm watching -- it's watching these actors is like watching the m

john adams and john quincy adams were one term president. our first two one term president. their presidencies nearly a quarter of a century. john adams was only alive for the first year and a quarter of his son's presidency and in a way in quincy, massachusetts, far away from washington, d.c. the bushes only had eight years between their presidencies ay i reigned at consequential times. george h.w. bush when the iron curtain fell, and we were entering into a brand-new post-cold war period and george w. bush, of course during 9/11. enormously consequential and important periods and two men just eight years apart in the oval office. >> just eight years patient. that's nothing. yet father, son, both presidents of the united states. you look at the relationship between the two bush presidents in your book from both your professional and a personal perspective. when you look at their presidencies, what more do you see as key similarist and differences? >> well, the similarities, somewhat similar styles. there's an ethos i know is explored in the original series that on cnn is do

john quincy adams almost had a fit. and he wrote to the president of harvard saying you can't do this. it will sully the reputation of my dear alma mater. but the occasion went forward. there were dissenters on the faculty and they decided, ok. we can't stop this. but we will show jackson up. in those days it was not unheard of -- and it was still accepted practice on certain occasions for academics to give their addresses to deliver their papers in latin. their traditional language of intellectuals in the academy. and so without telling the president of the university whose reputation was on the line, sure, i'll be happy to speak on this occasion. there were several speeches. and the speakers before jackson stood up and gave their speeches in latin with the belief that this would really flummox jackson. he obviously would not know what was happening. and he would be so embarrassed that he would be humiliated and he would be shown up. and that would be the end of it. now, as i say with explaining these historical storie

george bush was called quincy after john quincy adams, john s son of john adams.rd dynasty was thrown around. the word dynasty wasn't a word they liked to hear much. politically they think that word is risky. why? >> i'm not sure i know why they thought it was risky. but you're right. they ignored, rejected that word. the notion of legacy. the notion of dynasty. their family commitment was one of service. if that suggests dynasty then so be it. that was not the driving force. the driving force behind the family's engagement in public life was service to others. in all things. at early ages and throughout their careers. this is true of all the bushes, not just the two presidents. >> when george h.w. bush died, we got to talk to some of his grandchildren and hear about, you know, all the nice touches he did as a father. as a grandfather. he wrote handwritten letters they cherished. i don't know how he did it. i don't know how he was able to accomplish what he was able to accomplish. obviously it was a different time. he had a devoted wife helping him on every level.

president john adams had to go on to get from. the rebel army and to the one nine hundred ninety four genocide it wasn't a loophole in the rooms there wasn't room close to the. need to reinforce that a controversial leader who successors beyond question. could turn. the london tragedy starts able for on t w. this is news coming up on the program india any election mode the country is undergoing now the economic transformation so what kind of leader do indians want at the helm to talk to the former governor of india central bank. about the country . always has the possibility of go anymore it's hard to get. the follow a taiwanese future embark on an epic journey this time one answer to china's diplomatic might be.

john adams shut down newspapers and put reporters in prison who criticize him.shut down and journals were put in prison. woodrow wilson had his own act, as a way of pushing censorship, and entire censorship operation. he put not only reporters in prison, he put political opponents in prison. franklin roosevelt picked up where wilson left left off. he used the irs against certain publishers who were anti-the new deal and also to shut down opposition groups. so we have been bradley who was very, very close to john kennedy and was fed information to john kennedy. this president has been enormously passive when it comes to official actions and the media. and the media using him as a target and attacking him and trying to undermine him. the media have thrown him with the big government types. they threw in with a rogue intelligence service. they through and with a rogue tea party. now they are throwing in with a rogue congress that want you to go back to taxes and, i'm saying freedom of the press is what is in our constitution. it's what we have a right to. freedom o

knew other generals, he had been in congress and he repeated these things, he wrote a letter to john adams reaping these things, wondering if washington was the right to, not necessarily a great thing. he wrote this letter, an anonymous letter untied. he was fighting about the budget for the military hospitals. they made up on the budget and two months later, henry sent a letter to washington. he didn't know russia had written. he knew it was a letter he might care about because he criticized him. washington new his handwriting because they were friends. he was really upset, not that he hadn't heard these criticisms before but somebody was his friend and it matter to him politically had said that and he never forgive rush for that. we realized that when he died, he made sure somebody had the letter, so when he wrote the biography of washington, he had the letters, washington nature somebody had them. people held longer just back then. unlike today. [laughter] >> we've heard about webster and rush, you've written about the frontier, you write about contemporary america. >> thanks so much. c

john adams somewhere right that to madison, i think, that he hopes this experiment will last 150 yearsoject and depends upon the people. when i am around here listening to debates and watching tv i get discouraged but want to leave and go out into the country and talk to people, i feel better. when i'm with my family, i feel better. our boys, elaine and i have two sons, who both went to princeton and kate called me up and say another guy attacked you today in class and that the standard date. but they got through it and strong patriotic and i have great confidence. one of my sons joined the marine corps and we got to know those kids and their a big part of this picture. i'm encouraged every time i talk to the average everyday american. it's important to get out of the beltway. but my family gives me strength and confidence about the future. mark: it is this part of the problem though? the people. they think one way but the concentration of government and the bubble of washington and the la area drive the agenda and talk the left more votes, more votes and yet rule more and more with an

john adams advocated those who exercise government power to act in accordance with the fair process while respecting individual rights. and to the fourth century bc when the greek philosopher wrote aristotle wrote, it is more proper that law should govern than any one of the citizens. president trump issued a proclamation rather than the winds or the dictates. for we have ensured liberty. the president recognize law provides a framework and it's best to reflect moral choices and the principle decision to protect citizens fundamental rights. it is a system of restraint and then everyone to a prosperous society to allow businesses to enter two contracts protection for discoveries from dangerous criminals that allows us to resolve differences so kennedy explains the rule of law system you have a right and have an obligation to give it to you. in many countries that concept and that does not exist. if it does not just achieve the appearance without accomplishing it that i can summon the spirit but will they come when you call them and he agreed us pawn rules that it is not sufficient. not jus

john adams under the sedition act shutdown newspapers, put reporters in prison who criticized him.am lincoln during the civil war, over 300 newspapers were shut down and journalists were put in prison. you can say what you want to defend or not to offend, i'm just giving you a history lesson. woodrow wilson, own sedition act, he had his democrats pass it, as a way of pushing censorship, he had entire censorship operation. he put not only reporters in prison, he put political opponents in prison. these are big progressives. woodrow wilson, he had a massive propaganda machine taking place. franklin roosevelt picked up where wilson left off and turned the propaganda machine, he used the irs against certain publishers that are anti-the new deal. also to shut down oppositionsi groups. and so we have been bradley, who was very, very close to john kennedy and was fed information to john kennedy -- my point is this. this president has been enormously passive when it comes to official actives in the media. the media using him as a target, and attacking him and trying to undermine him, the m

when of our nation's founders, john adams, advocated a government of laws, not of men. the goal is for the people who exercise government power to act in accordance with neutral principles and fair processes while respecting individual rights. the idea dates at least to the fourth century b.c. when the greek philosopher aristotle wrote it's more proper that the law should govern than any one of the citizens. last year, president trump issued a proclamation explaining that we govern ourselves in accordance with the rule of law rather than the whims of an elite few or the dictates of collective will. through law, we have ensured liberty. as the president recognized law provides the framework for freedom. at its best, law reflects moral choices. principled decisions that promote society's best interests and protects citizens' fundamental rights. john macarthur mcgwire described law as a system of wise restraints that make men free. the restraints preserve liberty. because they are prescribed in advance and they apply to everyone without regard to rank or status. the rule o

john adam said that this country, the constitution was put together for morally and -- for moral and religious people. the pilgrims came from europe to found a more devout country. yet in europe, a much less reals you country than our the norm is no abortions after 12 months. you look around. germany, 12 months. france, 12 months. italy 90 days. portugal 10 weeks. how did america wind up in states like new york saying ok for nine months. you look south of the border, mexico, most of their states don't allow abortion to this day and it's 12 weeks in the area of mexico city. so we have to look further, why did this happen? i had originally felt with the advent of the ultra sound america would become overwhelmingly pro lifism had toured abortion clinic wednesday the ultra sound was a little rare. i could see the language that was used to mislead america as to what was going on. in the abortion industry they don't use the word abortion. they talk about procedures. they don't use even the word fetus, much less baby. they use the word tissue. but i felt the ultra sound would overcome that

-- john and abigail adams characters. talk about the smoke aspect. maj. lambert: sure. black powder is different than smokeless powder for many who have shot modern rifles. in smokeless powder, it is smokeless. the reason why it is smokeless is that the materials that make up the smokeless powder are almost completely transformed into a gas as the powder burns. black powder doesn't do it. black powder has an accelerant and feel. the accelerant makes the fuel burn faster, but does not completely combust it. about 50% of your black powder char is going to come out as sort -- soot. the darkhat makes black smoke. the way you minimize the smoke is by making the powder with the right proportions, as close as possible. -- have to have a enough oxidizer because unburned is goingring material to create more so it -- mroe so ot and smoke. 50% of your char will come out as sender no matter what you do. you can also attempt to minimize the water in powder. if you see a lot of set -- of soot as a reenactor, it means your powder is dam

this goes back 225 years when president john adams, the lame duck president appointed bunches of peopleas great and the run-up to the civil war. president roosevelt tried to pack the court. both republicans and democrats have tried to use the supreme court to their advantage and we the american people shouldn't let them do it. we should insist the supreme court remain and be a neutral, unbiased institution. both parties are at fault. republicans are at fault for not letting maieric garland's nomination come to the floor. the democrats are at fault for the way they treated president trump's nominees to the supreme court. we the american people have to demand that both parties leave politics out of the supreme court. so i think it would probably be a good thing to have only nine justices. perhaps maybe even with term limits if you are going to amend the constitution. the framers didn't intend for justices to sit on the supreme court for 40 or 50 years. life expectancy was in the 40s and 50s and people were appointed when they were 50. now they're serving for lifetimes. the problems have g

question that must be asked, should adam schiff step down, given the fact that he has massively, massively misled the american people for two years going, as has people like john and said the president committed treason. >> well, the democrats over-played their hand here. they've dug a pretty big hole for themselves, adam helped dig that hole. i think the democrats need to look at this. the chairman of the most coveted committee in the house, the permanent select committee on intelligence, is someone who accused of president of crimes, who said he had evidence of those crimes, who said he thought the president would end his first term in jail. his ability to govern the intelligence committee, his credibility in calling investigations going forward is very much in question. the democrats need to take a hard look at that and hold their own people accountable. maria: will they, though, congressman? you are a federal prosecutor. were laws broken? >> i was a federal prosecutor. i did allege crimes. i don't do that anymore. i will say this. based on everything i see that i have seen, there is more than ample evidence for a grand jury to consider the conduct of peopl
