i'm friends with edmund burke, we've been corresponding for years. bach is new york's agent and parliament. i've traveled to london to put forward new york's case in person because the demands he's wanted to use the legally, you know, the legal the legally elected assemblyman to protest people like the duke of oak. we're not not no, you're not going to do that. it's going to be too slow and you're not going to do what we want. so they set up research at another government to do that. the lancey leaves and never he never comes back because by the time he leaves, not long. it's lexington and concord, and then things really go from bad to worse. yeah. and you covered all the committees because i wanted to ask you about that. you're the one that you mentioned. those one that i found particularly interesting was the committee of mechanics, because as you were talking about, there are all these and some of are, you know, galante control but then because they're controlled by, the dnc's there's this new committee called the committee of mechanics that basic

constrain and guide human passion for heat paraphrase a moment later which is a famous cone from edmund burke. the restraints on men as well as at liberty and so for me at the time roughly 40 of 43-year-old of political liberal a surprising statement a provocative statement and so i was just thinking about that. this way of thinking influenced me in writing the righteous mind in chapter eight white conservatives have an advantage in american politics. they seem to know some things about the moral taste buds the moral buttons of the voters the democrats often fail to realize. so i contrasted the society based on this idea in which all individuals are equal part all should be as free as possible to move and form relationships as they please. that sounded very good to me to the extent to say i am is a liberal. but i wanted to contrast that resignation on social conservatism. to which i appealed to my favorite social scientists now imagine in contrast to the millions imagine society not into agreement among individuals but something that emerge organically over time as people found ways of living

edmund burke said that you can tear down institutions in the day that it took centuries to build up. that is exactly what is going on here. again, edmund burke, the father of conservatism said, you can tear down institutions in a day that took centuries to build. and the essence of conservatism is to respect the institutions, to protect the institutions and not be radicals who try to undermine and tear down those institutions, which, sadly, is what the so-called conservative party has been doing now for 9 years, if their prison doesn't win. >> nine years, if you can believe. and if you think about how this show began, 17, 18 years ago, really it was supposed to be a discussion, democrat -republican, about ideas based on facts and that is what we celebrated. the civil conversation, the joy of debate and disagreeing on issues, based on facts and today we fight for the truth. today it is a completely different landscape because of what has happened over the past nine years. and, as bernie sanders pointed out, if you can take a crowd and make it disappear in people's eyes, then not only

well, edmund burke warned him in england that you live in a new country and new countries want public buildings before they want paintings. so you better be an architect instead. so at he gets no money from the federal government. then another thing you can do as a painter is prince. if you have popular, you can reproduce them as prints and sell subscriptions to your series. and trumbull tries this with his revolutionary paintings, but he's a little too late. by the time he's doing it, it's 1790. so the french revolution has already begun. there's no european. people are focused on that rather than the american revolution and partizan politics is beginning in this country. so people focused on that also. and so trumbull turns to the recourse of all painters, which is portrait painting. and he does a number of portraits. some of them are wonderful and some of them are just cracked out. and he felt like he was cranking them out. he he thought that painting portraits was making yourself, the servant of vanity. the vanity of the people paying it almost bad as being a lawyer. but he comes

my advice to friends abroad is a little like edmund burke's twice to the same make the most of your tradition and let us do the same, for god's sake. >> you dealt a glancing blow to people on the right who you suggest consider our constitution to be inadequate today, but i wonder if it isn't truer to say that they think it's sort of lost beyond hope of recovery, but it's a great constitution, but we now have-- you yourself in your book document all the ways in which we have a kind of wilsonion spirit inhabiting the shell of a madisonion system and don't think of themselves as anti-constitutional as much as post constitutional. why are they wrong? why should they not give up hope on the constitution as a dead letter? >> first of all, anytime conservatives say we're post something, we should just stop. we don't -- i don't think that the fundamental political questions are different from one time to another, i really don't. i think the basic durable question, how do we create a world worthy of our children are always the questions we have to ask and that the answers to those questions more or le

you know, mika, edmund burke said that you can tear down institutions in a day that it took centuries to build up. >> that's right. >> that's exactly what's going on here. again, edmund burke, the father of conservatism said you can tear down institutions in a day that took centuries to build, and the essence of conservatism is to respect the institutions, to protect the institutions and not be radicals who try to undermine and tear down those institutions which sadly is what the so-called conservative party has been doing now for nine years if their person doesn't win. >> over the course of nine years, if you can believe it, think about how this show began 17, 18 years ago with willie. it was supposed to be a discussion democrat, republican, about ideas based on facts, and that's what we celebrated. the civil conversation, the joy of debate and disagreeing on issues based on facts, and today we fight for the truth. today seas a completely different landscape because what has happened over the past nine years, and as bernie sanders pointed out, if you can take a crowd and make it disa
