thomas jefferson, john adams and james monroe. july 4th, 1850, that president zachary taylor fell ill after attending dedication ceremonies for the new washington monument, dying just five days later after only 16 months in office. >> interesting. so his physicians concluded it was a bacterial infection. he had eaten a large quantity of cherries with iced milk and then several glasses of water. cholera was a major problem in d.c. back then. they had those primitive sewage systems, but other sources claim he died of gastroenteritis caused by the highly acidic cherries combined with the fresh milk. it's kind of amazing that something with the food clearly was the cause. >> but i never heard this before. it feels like a hollywood movie. >> next to celebrating the fourth by plummeting to earth. >> wait, what? yeah. helmet, camera video captured this dramatic jump from a black hawk helicopter over the weekend. look at this. as part of the us army's early independence day celebration on base in hawaii. that's sergeant first class jonath

thomas jefferson. i know he lived in monticello but maybe before he moved there. >> john adams, i have no idea why i heardas jefferson, well done, not just monticello. in 1801 he opened the house to guest and held a festival with horseracing, parades and refreshments he did it big. 15 seconds, any fourth of july plans? >> fireworks. >> and hamburgers and hotdogs and you name it. enjoy, that's it for "varney & company". "coast to coast" starts no

because i've got the receipts and first and foremost are an incredible set of letters between john adams and thomas jefferson. and it's basically john adams saying to jefferson, you're busted. i figured it out. you plagiarized the declaration of independence. so if you've got john adams on your side, i don't think you need much more proof. one for the road here. so overall, what are your thoughts after you wrote this book about thomas jefferson? yeah, it's i would like to go back in time and talk to my ninth grade history teacher and ask mrs. palazzo why she only told me about 10% of the truth about thomas jefferson. it's it is not an easy thing to do because he is such a revered founding father. but the layer upon layer upon layer with thomas jefferson, it's awful. and i will just tell you that plagiarizing this document was about one of the least terrible things he did. all right, dave, it's titled who's your founding father? one man's epic quest to uncover the first true declaration of independence. dave fleming, always appreciate your time here talking about it. thanks very much. of course. wel

convicted last month of seven crimes including assaulting an officer and i wanted to bring in now thomas's attorney john pierce, the founder and chairman of the national constitutional law union. he is represented actually 35 january 6 defendants in addition to kenneth thomas. so, john, thanks for being here. i want to start with this. he is awaiting sentencing, your client here. why would a judge give him permission to attend a festival that is essentially celebrating the thing he was convicted for? >> i would take issue with the idea that this is a celebrating things he was convicted for. i would take some issue with the language in some of your lead up about folks storming the capitol. january 6th was a very complex event with a lot of people who engaged in various kinds of conduct. mr. joseph thomas was found not guilty of engaging in violence on capitol grounds. >> well he was found guilty of assaulting a police officer. >> so the statute that you are referring to actually contains multiple kinds of conduct that can be the basis for liability it under so you could have the typical kind of assault y

and i want to bring in now thomas's attorney, john pierce. he is the founder and chairman of the national constitutional law union. and he has represented, actually, 35 january 6th defendants, in addition to kenneth thomas. so, john, thanks for being here. first, i just want to start with this. he is awaiting sentencing, your client here. why would a judge give him permission to attend the festival, that is essentially celebrating the thing he was convicted for? >> well, i would take issue with the idea that this is celebrating the things that he was convicted for. and i actually take some issue with the language in some of you are lead up about folks storming the capitol. january 6th was a very complex event, there were a lot of people who engaged in various kinds of conduct. mr. thomas, kenneth joseph thomas, was found not guilty of engaging in violence on the capitol grounds. >> well, he was found guilty of assaulting a police officer. >> so, the statute that you are referring to actually contains multiple kinds of conduct, that can be the

just shared, i the first time i walked into my office in the west wing, i saw portraits of john adams and thomas jefferson on the walls for my predecessor, ad hoc, the first and the second vice presidents. they remain there for the rest of the tenure in office. but i added a couple more paintings. one was of teddy roosevelt, who his contemporaries described him pure energy, which concluded must come out of new york about. 100 years. the other portrait i could relate to a little more. and that was the portrait of calvin coolidge. and i must tell you, my love for calvin dates back to my youth and my study of history, but it was greatly enlivened by the epic biography by amity shlaes. i believe her book perfectly captures silent kell's character, his personality, and his philosophy. he, in fact, when i was vice president, there's a small library of works about and by vice presidents that's in the library at the naval observatory. and i remember one sunny sunday when i had a few moments after church to grab a book, and i pulled calvin coolidge, his autobiography off the shelf, first edition, and sat

that shows the sort of bias that is really baked in in washington against clarence thomas. >> john: one of the biggest digs in the "new york times" piece about his membership in the horacio algiers association, brought them into the court to present medals, and people said it was quite amazing. what the "new york times" wrote about. said justice thomas's use of the courtroom for the association while hardly unprecedented is quite rare. i mean, that has all the hallmarks of lazy journalism. you try to have it both ways, secondly, who else did it, what did they do and how many times, they don't mention any of that, just put out it's hardly unprecedented, it's very rare. >> well, the piece is really indicative of with the coverage he has faced since he first put -- first put on the court. the media has followed him bumper to bumper since he got on the court. they read every move he makes, sinister or wrong, and then give wide berth to any liberal justices and it's real extraordinary when you read these two columns. you get the impression justice jackson could have read from the boston tele

first book, is titled the people's justice clarence thomas and the constant fictional stories that define him. judge departure, thanks for joining us. john thank you for having me. so let's start out with why you decided to write about justice in particular. there are several members of the court that espouse originalism and they're jurists, prudence. why justice thomas? john, i originally trying to just in originalism. so my goal was to write in excess possible interesting originalism book is in is you know as an author is someone who writes a lot you often throw out your first draft and what i discover in that in drafting i kept coming back to justice. i thought his brand of originalism called the original public, meaning originalism, was one where he consistently his entire career laid out what i was an original a purely vision of the constant tution and the laws that govern us. and so in doing that, i thought this was an interesting way to tell the is through one justice his eyes and whatever the other i discovered is that he's not an originalist, but he's a someone who has a black nationalist background that shines through in his ju

thomas paine 700 sailed for america and 1802, after president john adams, critics lost his reelection mandate, to thomas jefferson. that ds and democrat like pain. but still coming to america, it turned out to be a picture homecoming. and thomas paine disembarked in baltimore, and that refused to accommodate him and keeping him away from american radicalism and become a dirty word in america and the french revolution it, was a great part to blame. in the french revolution had begun, back in 1589, many american us and welcomed it at first, but after louis pierre began gillis healing it and conservative and will became known as the land of terror, many american patriots enter the colony to the event unfolding. so then thomas paine, the french nationalism i turn up, in 1802 card and american conservatives took to trying to smear him as a drunk and to discredit his political views and openly accusing him of being an agitator who is only come back to bring down at the federal government of the united states and kickstart in america land of terror. and most of his conservative and enemies t

you've heard about clarence thomas and john roberts. but now, questions about sonia sotomayor. reportedly demanding that colleges and university by more of her books for events with her. a lot to talk about now with nina totenberg, legal affairs correspondent for npr. nina, i'm so glad to see you. i have to say, we have been looking and hearing about the supreme and the disapproval now, the -- about the trust in the institution. the cloud is growing and the drip, drip, drip is not stopping. what is the impact on a court that used to hold, be held in such high regard? >> well, you know, there are good nations of all of these issues. and i think justice thomas is on one hand, some of the other justices are more or less on the other end. but people understand that the court has a very special place. and if they are suddenly getting just from people and very special treatment and being showered with attention and vacations and invitations from very wealthy people, the average american, even the average moderately wealthy american, understands that that isn't a good look for the cou

. - when thomas jefferson and john adams die within hours of each other on the nation's 50th anniversary, the first chapter in american history comes to a dramatic close, earned with tremendous courage and perseverance. our nation stands on the sacrifice of our founding patriots and the liberty they fought so hard to achieve. while our government does require constant evaluation and revision the core values of the patriots remain firm. and so does their grand democratic experiment called the united states of america. >> good morning i am sure all custodial and for maria bartiromo. it is wednesday july 56:00 a.m. eastern time. markets on the decline of the first full trading day for the month of july in the third quarter right now the dow jones industrial data by 142, nasdaq down by 47 nasdaq down by 20 in half. we are standing by for the fed minutes for the june meeting as jay powell says to more rate hikes and grow not off the table. also jobs data june adp in the jeweled trooper coming out tomorrow all hands on deck for the june jobs report coming out at 830 eastern time on friday. eur

i am john amber and she thomas, the award winning author of today's velshi banned book club featuringelcome to the velshi banned book club. we literally evan talking about this book since day one. it epitomizes what we are trying to do here and the good news is we have been talking about banned books for a year and a half, we don't have to talk about the book banning here. we can talk actually about the book which is fantastic. let me start with bravery. it's a persistent theme in the hate that you give. it culminates in the moments before star testifies. her mother says to a quote, brave doesn't mean you're not scared, star she says. it means you go on even though you're scared and you're doing that. star pushes back on, then she rejects the notion that she is brave or acting bravely throughout the book. why is that? >> we'll, first off thank you so much for having me and that introduction earlier is probably the best introduction i've gotten in my career. so thank you but you know bravery is one of those concept that feels bigger than it actually is. especially for younger people. w

john: in this decision, clarence thomas he wrote the majority decision, said congress had chosen finalityection. what do you think of that? prof. medwed: i think it is an interesting issue. on the one hand, finality is often highlighted as a variable, or as a factor in terms of curtailing postconviction remedies. the idea is that at some point litigation should be final, or else victims will not have capacity to abso trb new cases. but on the other hand, i think finality is often a fallacy. what good is finality if there is an underlying question of legal or factual innocence? that is a problem. i think accuracy is more important than finality. and sometimes that means we should take a closer look, maybe a second look at a meritorious claim. john: people who were wrongly convicted who are innocent and can prove their innocence, i think we all have the image from movies or television that someone rushes into a court and said this man is innocent and is released. but why is it so hard to correct a wrongful conviction? prof. medwed: a wonderful and important question. a couple thoughts. firs

there's a sense of empowerment and the people in power to john hancock john adams in massachusetts and george washington and thomas jefferson in virginia and they were pretty satisfied with their role in the british empire as the years of 1762 and as these guys the house of commons here who were dissatisfied and they wanted to make changes and so, put that slide to frame this whole discussion but were really talking about the british grievances against the colonies and the things that they wanted to change in the parliament did try to change it the parliament would ultimately lead to the revolution sweeping of those so when we go to the next light which is the image that we were talking about witches this is just north america east of the mississippi river but as the and 92, was the territory in eastern mississippi is still occupied by the native americans at this time and i think that primarily on the atlas done, she's actually from the midwest and there's other native nations and one thing that i want to point out is that there are boundaries of the native nations. the old maps are used for cherokee out there so

thomas jefferson. i know he lived in monticello but maybe before he moved there. >> john adams, i have no idea why i heard a shout out from madison and the answer is thomas jefferson, well done, not just monticello. in 1801 he opened the house to guest and held a festival with horseracing, parades and refreshments he did it big. 15 seconds, any fourth of july plans? >> fireworks. >> and hamburgers and hotdogs and you name it. enjoy, that's it for "varney & company".

the war be hard for case, we saw very different approaches to the chief justice john roberts in the majority and just as thomas leading. how would you distinguish between the originalism of chief justice roberts and the contextualism of justice thomas and how that mixes into originalism and textualism today. guest: thank you for inviting me to be part of this. i would begin by saying we classify -- cheap as originalism but he would not classify himself as originalist. but i think it is fair to classify both as originalists and they joined the chief's opinion in more dissent by justice thomas joined by justice -- full and, justice alito following only on the jurisdictional question. there is real disagreement between those two sets of originalist. i should quickly note that my firm litigated more so just for full disclosure on that. i think that with the disagreement in that case shows is one way in which it can be classified which is how they approach president. that is a major division against -- in originalism the extent to which you take on board prior precedent. now justice thomas's dissent was -- thought

the other thing and he is that he was drawing on thomas read the great scots philosopher who is read closely by james wilson john adams and it was appealed to commonsense philosophy that thomas read was read. it was an appeal to those maxims of common sense that the ordinary person simply had to know and take granted in getting on the business of life before he could start trafficking in theories. so before the average man was not bound to drink with david hume about the meaning of causation. he knew his own act of power to cause his own acts to happen. so some of us have followed, read and found the ground of the natural law as robinson said, in those maxims of common that the ordinary man naturally knows and takes for granted. these were the same maxims of common sense and the principles of right that the founders knew before they framed the constitution. and they were the principles of right that would be there as they understood even if there were no constitution. much as john quincy adams would say later that that right to petition the government was simply implicit in the idea of a free society. it would b

[laughter] >> i liked reading john roberts' opinion and then reading both clarence thomas and ketanjiwn jackson because there you have two african-american people on court, and they have strong disagreements about this. thomas writes racialism simply can't be undone by different or more racialism. we haven't mentioned yet, it was asian-american students who brought this case. >> yeah. >> because they felt they were being discriminated against. they weren't asking for specific numbers to be allowed in, they were asking for fairness. a lot of things -- well, so many things have changed. sandra day o'connor in 2003 when she was a justice, she said in 25 years i imagine this is probably not going to be the necessary anymore. well, where are we now? it's 2023, and in 2005 and i'm the spokesperson for justice roberts in his confirmation hearings, this issue came up. he has been work on this for a long time, and it took this case by these asian-american students to work its way up to a majority conservative court in order to get to this result. i wonder if people who are critical of this dec

arriving in philadelphia here at a banquet hosted by pennsylvania delegate thomas mifflin, paine offers a timely toast. the john adams duly records quote, i. i love this way. the collision of british flint and american steel produced that spark of liberty which will illuminate the latest posterity. yes, lock, stock and barrel. the metaphor suits the times and expresses paine scientific bent and lifelong fascination with powder that is, powder used in firearms and or in fireworks, but not necessarily the powder used for wigs. meanwhile, back in taunton, while the continental congress is meeting patriotism is on fire. bob's sister writes, we all rejoice that our whole continent have been so happy in their choice of patriots to compose this noble assembly. the sons of liberty wanted to set a flag of liberty upon your house to honor you, but were prevented by the doctor. that is david cobb, who was a doctor. sally cobb, paine's brother. but all is not lost of that flag. the taunton, the sons of liberty flag has been called the earliest national banner. it still flies there instead of hanging limp on this front door

this song gave voice to support for john adams and it was used as a campaign song for thomas jefferson, the fourth of july, and by francis scott key in 18 05. nine years before writing the star-spangled banner, he wrote another song called when the warrior returns. it celebrated the heroism of a captain in the u.s. navy fighting in the barbary war in north africa. he was being paraded around the east coast and celebrated by various communities for his heroism and one of those places was at georgetown, and key had just moved to the nation's capital and was looking for a way to introduce himself to future legal clients so he wrote a song for a dinner called when the warrior returns from the battle of far -- afar. so we know that he knew the melody that was later used for the star-spangled banner because he had previously written other lyrics to the same tune. so when he is trapped aboard ship for three days from wednesday morning through friday night is he carefully constructs lyrics to encourage unity and encourage a strong military and piety, these things he wants to see happen. it is
