some day, years from now, barack obama will be here in the national portrait gallery, alongside abraham lincolnnd all the other presidents. but another image of him has taken its place already in our popular consciousness, and that is the november night the young senator from illinois was elected, as our country's leader. that night marked the before and after in american history, when the impossible became possible, when a might-never-happen event actually did. and whether or not you voted for barack obama in 2008, or in 2012, in doing so, we americans knew we were taking a giant step forward in living up to our nation's proud ideal that all men are decree oughted equal. >> if there is anyone out there who still doubts that america is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. >> president obama's election transformed the way the world looks at america, but also the way we look at ourselves. >> it makes me so proud of our country. it was electric, throughout

it seems what abraham lincoln said a century and a half ago is united states is the last best hope ofhe earth and this is very chernow days but of course in a very different way. so to wrap up then, of let's say for the sake of argument this is what happens. the american system keeps going to the middle of the 21st century and even beyond that. can they go on forever? is there any way to put off from that we are breakdown of the global system and the resulting conflicts that always seem to come out? it seems to me the answer has to be no and nothing ever has gone on forever before. i talked about my book in britain a few weeks ago. it came out slightly earlier there. i ask the audience is always imagine world war i had not broken out in 1941. do any of you think britain would be running the world in 2014 and i couldn't get a single person to suggest that it would. so does this mean that we are in fact all doomed that the system is bound to break down eventually? i have some thoughts on that too but i have talked enough so if you not to -- want to know about that you'll have to read my

seems to me would abraham lincoln said he century and half half ago the united states is the last best hope of earth. is very much true nowadays in a very different way. to wrap up that. let's savor the sake of argument this is what happens. the american system keeps going to the middle of the 21st century beyond that. cannot go on forever? is a way to cut off from it or it down to the global system and the resulting conflicts that always seemed to come out of that? is to me the answer really has been no. nothing has gone on forever before. i was talking about in my work and written a few weeks ago i came out but i would guess the audience is always, imagine if world war i had not brought until 1914. do any of you think britain would still be running the world in 2014? i couldn't get a single person to suggest they did think that. they told you a lot about the british care there. slightly depressing. does this mean we are in fact all jammed if the system is algebraic down eventually. i have some thoughts on that. if you want to know about those that, you have to read my book. thank you

abraham lincoln fought the indians there in 1830. it was a wild pleased to another reason that i don't think we can't hide from anyone, because there is sex in it. polygamy is a big deal in this book. it was a big deal in the life of joseph smith in 1843-1844, which was essentially the years that are covered. and polygamy is much more than a proximate cause. literally was a secret doctrine at the time, something i get to sort out he came with it as it were. but it literally split the church can have, and argued cost him his life. the first statement is easily defensible because after joseph smith dies, the mormon church in fact does split in half. would probably most of it in this room think of as the mormon church, the utah church, called the breed mice at the time, they follow brigham young across the river to utah. they were the polygamy -- but there was a prince of the church and still is, in fact, that was long called the reformed church of jesus christ of latter day saints. that state in illinois and eventually moved to indepen

question, i think, but, you know, we have a sacred trust with veterans in this country, started with abraham lincoln who said we have to take care of him who fell and his widow and orphan. we created this absolutely fabulous system. there's no country in the world that takes care of veterans like the united states, but it's very big. we have 21 million veterans in our country, and we used to see about a million of them every week. they're now seeing more, according to the statistics that i read. so it's a very big spread out system and you have people out there remotely at those hospitals and have to act responsibly and act with integrity. >> i want to remind our viewers you not only a former secretary of veterans affair, not only a u.s. ambassador to the vatican, but also a former chairman of the republican national committee. right? >> yes, sir. >> just want to remind our viewers of that as well. >> i'm also a graduate of west point. >> we salute you for that, especially on this memorial day weekend. thanks very much for coming in. >> a vietnam vet. yes. >> a vietnam vet. you're very committed to

he actually joins 12 other presidents with no college degree, including abraham lincoln. and do americans really care? almost three quarters said it did not matter if a president or presidential candidate goes to a top-tier university. on the campaign trail, candidates love, love, love to talk about how they are washington outsiders. arly in the 2008 campaign, candidate's washington experience made 35% of people more likely to vote for them. now check out how those numbers have lived. yes -- have flipped. yes, stay out of washington if you can. barack obama made history becoming the first lap president, so how open are americans too further barrier breaking? a woman president? 71% said it would not matter if a candidate was female. a gay or lesbian president? 66% said this would not matter either. an atheist? well, that is a dealbreaker. if you do not believe in god, more than half of america is less likely to send you to the oval office. >> such interesting numbers and so reflective of the american republic. perhaps the only guessing game > will become the next president

george washington, the father of our country, abraham lincoln, who in those terrible times when the country was being torn apart came in and pulled the country back together. and ronald reagan, who came in at a time when this country was looking at 21% interest. we had a president almost as bad as the president we have now in office -- and a nation that was really own. and ronald reagan came in and reminded us what it was all about. and in short order, that president restored our faith in ourselves and in our country and got this country rolling again to the point where the soviets took one look, put their hands up, and closed up shop. ronald reagan made all that ifference. i dwelled a little on president reagan, because having spoken to marco rubio a number of times, i can tell you that first of all, he is a ronald reagan epublican. and secondly, when you really talk to him, you find out he truly was inspired by that great resident, ronald reagan. we are republicans for a number of reasons. we are republicans because we believe in the individual. the privacy of the individual over the over

and in 1860, just six years after the party was founded, republican abraham lincoln was elected to the white house. while the republican party started out as an idea driven movement, today's republican party is an established political party. for both parties, ideology is far less important than party politics. even though ideas motivate and invigorate the grassroots. in contrast to the two political parties, the conservative movement is and always has been an idea driven movement. conservatism has several important intellectual pillars. if you follow the mainstream media, you can probably rattle those worse off in the mainstream media would say racism, sexism, xenophobia, economic inequality and militarism. president obama personifies this viewpoint when he talks during the first presidential campaign about small-town americans who come and i quote, cling on to their guns and religion or have antipathy towards people that are not like them. but this is not what conservatism is about. the conservative movement is not about people that refuse to embrace progress and have been left behin

i have to believe that if abraham lincoln more ground today he would be reinforced in that particular judgment. as we went through the corruption in the grant administration that led to the pendleton act in 1883, the corruption involving outside corporate influence on president theodore roosevelt that led to the town and act in 1907, the teapot dome scandal that resulted in the federal corrupt practices act of 1925, the abuse of federal employees that led in 1938 to the passage of the hatch act, the taft-hartley act in 1947, the watergate scandal spurring the federal law election campaign act of 1974 which was revised, of course, by buckley, and on through the abuses of soft money and other ways that brought about the federal election campaign reform -- bipartisan campaign reform act of 2002. it was scandals that led to corruption that led to change. all of-focus was turned on its head by citizens united prod has a very narrow has applied decision and brought down to basically take away almost all of those protections, at least going back to 1907 and then to mccutcheon. i want to make

born in the previous century when into forced retirement while younger more modern minds like abraham lincolnnd ulysses s. grant were up to the challenge. the civil war destroyed old challenges and rewarded radical thinking. the cultural upheaval comparable to the one brought a century early by the vietnam war the trauma to meet an older generation suddenly obsolete and demanded novelty innovation and experimentation. the 1860s was bloody bill walder in and if you manage to survive the magnificent time to be a young american. if america belongs in his future when the youngest place in america the far west the pioneers who settled that were overwhelmingly young and untethered from traditional society they built a new world without the benefit of their parents council. if aaron camas often reeled with postadolescent excess they offered opportunities unlike any that might be found in the colleges and accounting houses of these. these new americans were the tanned face children of the vanguard of democracy. when wittman looked west he didn't see a place. he saw an idea rooted in a mystical tradit

and is a good book the piece of popular history the search for john wilkes booth after he kills abraham lincoln. and then this takes place in a compressed time frame dissidents rise up against joseph smith on june 7244 and he is dead june 27 to 1844. his life is extinguished in the incredibly germanic series of events. the difference between my book and swanson's excellent book man hunt, i remember reading his book. it begins with the second inaugural but one of the earliest scenes is a stable boy holding the escape course i cannot remember if he escapes or not and i was so envious because and a star in of ford's theatre the point of departure is the event. i did not have that luxury not only researching this book but also to retell the story i had to start from zero and assume that even though relatively well informed reader like myself and do absolutely nothing about this subject. it takes me a moment george you to explain how joseph smith managed to found the largest city in illinois illinois, the southwestern town larger than chicago at the time and just takes a moment to explain how twelve

this was s.t.a.r.t.ed by abraham lincoln after the civil war, and at the time it made sense. now that we have such -- the country is so much larger, the medicine is so much dispersed in areas in the country where there is other expertise, the budget for the v.a.'s 85 billion a year, the number of patients is 6.5 or so. do the math. that's almost 10,000 a year per patient. why not have each of those vets get a voucher for $10,000 to purchase private insurance and to go anywhere but of course an administration like this would never even contemplate that. but it is a question. if these problems are systemic and chronic, and they are from the bureaucrat inning structure of a government-run system. why wouldn't you contemplate voucherizing and privatizing it? >> here's the thing. wait lists are often part and parcel of government run health care systems. we know that internationally. but there president ran on the issue of long wait lists at the v.a. he's -- >> eliminating them. >> eliminating them. and yet yesterday at that press conference he used it almost as a defense. look, i

good question but i find myself as an historian thinking that you have to take the founders and abraham lincolnt them in an entirely different category. not because they were different people but because the challenges they faced were so enormous. it's hard to think of somebody like franklin pierce. maybe you could include franklin roosevelt and their too. you look at presidents who faced existential challenges. if what they were doing didn't work out they would go to the republic. the founders face that existential challenge and i think it ingrained themselves in our national story because of their overcoming the challenges they face. lincoln faced that and i think you could say franklin roosevelt did too. so i guessed the last century being the 20th century may be roosevelt in terms of the challenges that he faced and overcame. >> from casper wyoming. >> oh wow that's my home. >> heading back there tomorrow. jan gray. lynne about madison's height he was only 5 feet or inches. he was a short as president and i want to know when your research did you find that he had any troubles because of tha
