adams. these are all in the back corner there stage right house left. take a while to appreciate the skill of these artists and in particular how much our fellow actor resembles charles francis adams. [laughter] >> it is quite uncanny. charles francis adams was for a wild vice president and then president of the boston athenaeum. proprietorhad been a or shareholder. wife was also a proprietor. the athenaeum and the adams family fit hand in glove. manning grew up in dublin and was a childhood friend of another hero of hours. she worked with william butler yates, who built bridges between poetry and drama at the abbey theatre. in 1930, molly came to cambridge, where she married a law professor. in the 1950's, helped found the poet's theater. the first flowering of which survived into the mid-1960's. she was known by molly howell. after professor howell's death, she married samuel adams. she was our regardin guiding li. manning, mollyry presentmolly adams, we four generations of the adams famil

and for john quincy adams that was never personally political ambition given he wasn't quincy adams and grew up the son of this distinguished statesman who made no effort to be subtle about the political pressures he put on his son. abigail did the same, but -- one read, you come into life -- if you do not rise to the head of your country, it will be owing to your sloefbenness and obstancy, unquote. for someone like john quincy adams from the time he was a very young pup. so that had to play a role until he became president. over lapping with his personal prospects was his commitments to certain political principles that had very hilt to do optheir face with slavery. especially as he moved into the post-war of 1812 years, deeply committed to an ethic that a great historian has called improvement with a capital "i." it was deeply sewn into john quincy adams priorities. so he had to remain committed to those principles as a way of advancing his own career but also those principles in american life. and sometimes those helped him express anti-slavery principles and sometimes they suppresse

and john quincy adams, john adams' son. we're not done yet, this might be good news more hillary clinton today. remember john kerry didn't quite prevail. but john adams is -- john marshall, excuse me, is john adams' ally. he's his right hand, his secretary of state but he's also the new incoming chief justice. for a month he basically holds both positions. there's one other wrinkle, since cliff mentioned, they're all these conspiracy theory. what happens if the deadline goes on and on and own and they're still deadlocked. maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe the person who should occupy the white house in that circumstance is none other than the secretary of state, john marshall. john marshall's mentioned as one of the possible people trying to nose himself into this really complicated situation. but right as adams' administration is ending, yes, john marshall is both the secretary of state and the new incoming chief justice. >> and the fact -- >> one point that's important to emphasize on that is that adams nominates marshall and he

what did john adams do? >> well these are the midnight appointments and john adams who was somewhat bitter about defeat in the election, was determined to make as many points as he possibly can before he leave office. this is -- whether you're talking about united states attorneys, postmasters. the outgoing laying duck congress passes a new judiciary acts that creates a new level in the federal courts in 16 new judgeships. they do this very late in their time as the outgoing congress. and so john adams is fever ishly filling the posts, nominating people, sending it up to the hill. and at the same time, that congress creates lots of new posts in the school district of colombia which has just become the capital. he is literally staying up late until his last day in office, getting those appointments up to the senate, getting them confirmed. and his right hand man like akhil was saying, these appointments is john marshall. now chief justice, secretary of state, he's the one that's advising adams on the people a

so it's fun to be here talking about john quincy adams. this volume that we put together is really heavy on selects from the diary, as the subtitle suggests, and our presentation will be heavy on selections from that diary. we had explanatory footnotes to set the context for those entries and in many ways, my remarks tonight will serve that function and i'll introduce where we're headed and then david will read extended -- sometimes extended selections from the diary and then comment on those and i'll be back. so there will be a little bit of a tag team tonight and i think that will be fun and we're about to find out whether it will be fun. john quincy adams is best known to americans as an anti-slavery hero fighting the gag rule as the best ex-president in american history. he's probably known to some degree as president as well, but one of the reasons we set out to study john quincy adams was that we're both interested in the way people think about and practice slavery in the context of american politics and that is a really complicated

for john quincy adams, that was never simply personal, political ambition given that he wasn't adams and grew up the son of the second president, son of this distinguished statesman who made no effort to be subtle about the political pressures he put on his son. abigail did the same, but john especially. one particular letter read to a young john quincy adams, you come into life with advantages which will disgrace you if your success is mediocre. and if you do not rise to the head of your country, it will be owing to your own laziness, slovenliness and ob stay nant see. so that had to play a role in everything he contemplated until he became president. overlapping with his personal prospects were his commitment to certain political principles that had very little to do on their face with slavery. he was, especially as he moved into the postwar 1812 years, committed to the ethic that the great historian david walker howell called, improvement with a capital i. moral reform, building railroads, universities, the whole epic of improvement was deeply sewn into john quincy adams's priorit

john quincy adams, son of john adams, and what we have on loan from the adams national historic cufflinks.et of to johnes them unique quincy adams, but they are also tied to john adams, is that is inside each of the cufflinks, there is hair from both his mother, abigail adams, and john adams. the other cufflinks that has the here of john adams, which he did not have a lot of, and his wife. it seems kind of weird and some people think it is even creepy that we have family members' hair in our jewelry, but it was a common practice, a way of remembering relatives who passed away. just keeping a piece of them close to us all of the time. they are pretty neat. they have on them in latin, it says "remember, consider the relatives." you can think about the past when you are wearing the cufflinks. for andrew jackson, we have a turkish pike on loan to us from the hermitage in tennessee. not a lot is known about this pipe. were apes -- but pipes common way of smoking tobacco at the time. and his wife also enjoyed smoking pipes as well. here we are with martin van buren and he was the chosen successor

but adams kind of chides himself for this point. refers to what he called -- he says man kind will not progress, at least in religion, until we do away with what he calls the plas blasphemy of the reincarnation. so if you know anything about christianity, that is not orthodox. so in his personal life he's moved into a more unitarian position. but it's not an atheist position. the dominion of providence over the passions of men. the dominion of province means that god acts, he interposes in the world, and he has a number of instances where he thinks the british are trying to -- pardon me -- they have an ill will toward the americans and god sort of turns the circumstances in such a way that even their evil intentions turn out for the good of the americans. yes? >> i was just wondering. i work at the jewish museum in new york, and for a while i think it was just a fascsimile of a letter -- just wondering if you knew anything else about the context of this letter and also to what extent did the others share washington's acceptance of j

let's begin with this man, john adams. this is a portrait of him in old age, toothless, but he's looking back at this time on the revolution of almost 50 years ago. almost half a century before and adams who presumably knew something about the causes of the revolution, yes? adams wrote, the revolution was effected before the war commenced. the revolution was in the hearts and minds of the people and a change in the religious sentiments of their duties and obligations, this letter from adams to hezekiah niles in 1818. i want to note that in our sort of overarching text and gordon woods, american revolution on page 3 he has a quotation from adams from this letter, but he leaves out the portion that has to do with their religious duties and obligations, and i'm not accusing him. don't hear me accusing him of any slight of hand. i'm just saying that this tends to drop out in the account in the secondary account, and this religious emphasis and so, i want to try to underscore that a little bit. what did adams mean by saying the

adam: there has been some change. looking for that engagement to start dealing with those practical detail issues. i think the second message is, we're going to accept that some sort of transition is needed to get to the final settlement between the u k and e u i think the third message has to be, we are looking at domestic factors. oliver mentioned fatigue with brexit. a lot of businesses saying, i don't really want to engage with this that much anymore. a lot of them do want to engage with those bread-and-butter issues. are they going to be able to get goods down the roads? are we going to build a new runway at heathrow airport? the problem is, all of the energy in the government at the moment is going into brexit. there are lots of issues, lots of things we can fix, lots of things we can help businesses with. thank you so much. adam marshall is the director general of the british chamber of commerce. adam harvey, strategist at deutsche bank.

adam joseph is joining us.t a welcome change from yesterday. >> mother nature cleaned her act up. and changes come for the end of the week but for today the temperatures with response from the sunshine come back up above the normal of 86 degrees. 87 now in philadelphia and 86 in allentown un85 in trenton and wilmington 86 degrees, you factor in the humidity still humid but not as oppressive as yesterday. the number comes up 1 degree in philadelphia and the 87 feels like 88 degrees and wilmington up to 90 degrees right now. we look at satellite 6 along with action radar we cleared everything up and cumulous high clouds out there with a light wind from the north and west. water temperatures are also up as well. 77 from surf city, atlantic city to cape may and the bay temperatures in the upper 70s and off the beaches in delaware as high as 80 degrees, it's inviting on a sunny day. but a reminder we have high risks for rip currents due to hurricane gert i would not venture into the water especially once the lifegua

adam, you said earlier, it's not going well, it is going badly.o what extent do any of us know that? does anyone go into a negotiation...? you don't put all of your cards on the table, do you? that is the process of a negotiation. at least they are behind schedule, now it looks like the trade talks in october could be delayed until december. they are behind schedule. that's clear. yes, in terms of the timetable perhaps. the level of snarkiness on on social media and the bad tempers and everyone telling us that they want brexit reversed or not reversed, i think a lot of this has been created because people don't know. there will be trade—offs. for some people who want to leave the european union, it is fine, that there will be trade—offs. some people will be worse off in some ways but better off in other ways. but let people know. the uk government is going to be trusted enough to be not thought of as giving alternative facts. for the europeans, brexit will take place. i love the idea that marc says that all 27 are wonderfully united. they are! it'

and ask and so he -- and so he split with adams and made it impossible for adams to become reelected to the presidency. and so someone who was on the other side of the ideological aisle, jefferson, was elected by very few votes on the 35th ballot of the electoral college. jefferson was a pacifist. but as with everything else with jefferson, he was conflicted. he founded west point, but then he sent the united states navy to the mediterranean tofight the corsairs of the algerians. he final he made -- he finally made peace with the algiers by sending a shipload of silver dollars, twenty barrels of silver dollars on a merchant ship to make the first payment. then he dismantled the navy. he put it in dry dock. but at the same time, america's merchant fleet was burgeoning. our carrying trade doubles again between 1800 and 1812. britain increasingly was getting nervous and began to tighten its grip over american waters as if we were still colonists. exacting customs duties in england 25% and blockading our ports, britain's navy carried out 400 illegal searches and seizures of american merc

marshall, like jefferson and adams -- forgive me. marshall like washington and adams was a skeptic of direct democracy and preferred checks and balances. federalists feared mob rule and framed the constitution against what some viewed to be the rising tide of anarchy. because marshall favored nationalism, he was not a federalist. he was critical of the acts of 1798 causing northern federal i haveists to criticize him. above all, marshall was an ardent nationalist who revered washington. jefferson had criticism of adams in the late 1790s. marshall cultivated his nationalist political views while fighting for the army in the revolutionary war where he developed what he famously called his habit of considering america as my country and congress as my government. more over, according to smith, marshall was not a reactionary. he believed in representative government. vigorously defended a free press and recoiled from the aristocratic pretensions of some of his fellow federalists. after serving as a congressman and as secretary of state, h

adam. >> yeah its not heading anywhere that quickly. it's moving at 3 miles an hour and has barely moved since friday when it didn't make landfall closer towards corpus christi and you can see the center of what now is tropical storm harvey just south of houston back over the open waters of the gulf of mexico basically hit a wall as it moved inland. there's a blocking pattern in the upper atmosphere a traffic jam if you will so it's stuck here meandering continuing to pull all that water in off of the gulf of mexico inundating houston still to this hour and as far east as new orleans. as we look at the cumulative rain full since friday you can see the brighter colors and really the hardest hit areas is in houston to the north and east of where the center of the storm is because it's a tropical system like low pressure system it's counterclockwise motion around that storm so it's pulling in all that water around the thunderstorm where over 30-inches of rain, nearly 3 feet of rain in and around houston and more to still come. in fact as w

adam is within that path of totality so tomorrow, adam will more than likely see a total solar eclipse and at that path of totality like adam was saying is the 70-mile wide path from oregon down into south carolina. but back here at home, we are dealing with a partial total solar eclipse. we have pretty good viewing conditions on the way tomorrow a few more cloud popping up by the afternoon but for delaware , lehigh valleys this begin at 1:21 in the afternoon and peaks at 2:44 and end at 4:01 in the afternoon where 80 e eclipsed by the moon. so satellite six with action radar showing dry, quiet right now with ridge of high pressure in control but tomorrow this ridge of high pressure will move furthere and we will start to tap into a return flow coming in from the south and west. so that will write in more moisture as we go throughout the day n fact future tracker six showing you by 1:30 tomorrow a weak disturbance off to the west that could trigger some showers across western pennsylvania, and by 1:30. notice partly sunny in philadelphia but a few more cloud off across our western view

and john adams in that inside of each, there is mother, abigail adams, and john adams, and the from cufflinks have hair john adams and his wife. it seems kind of weird and some people think it is creepy that we have the hair, but it is a common way to remember relatives who passed away. just of keeping the peace of them close to us all the time. neat and theyy have on them in latin consider , the relative. so you can think about your past that way. for andrew jackson, we have what is referred to as a turkish pipe. it is on loan to us from tennessee. not a lot is known about this pipe, but it is one of the more common ways of smoking tobacco at the time. his wife was also known to enjoy smoking pipes. here we are with martin van buren and he was the chosen successor to andrew jackson. andrew jackson gave a andentation came to him, what is interesting about it is when you look at it, it has sober medallions going down the shaft and each of those in the top to the bottom, there is a letter that is punched into those medallions, and it spells andrew jackson. that is on loan to us from t

adam? >> thank you very much. there are concerns that harvey will disrupt a hub of the oil industry in texas, which then could cause a surge in gas prices. >> justin finch is live to explain what this could mean for how much you pay at the pump. justin, good morning. >> reporter: eun, good morning. perhaps you were used to paying a certain price for gas. but guess what? that could change very soon at this wawa. $2.17 a gallon for regular here. that could jump between $.0 a and $.10 over the weekend with hurricane harvey. that area very oil and refinery rich. the refineries being evacuated ahead of the storm here. already disrupting production and raising gas prices per gallon. the x factors will be how bad will that refineries get beaten up. it could further delay and disrupt production and further spike up the gas prices. the thing for drivers to consider as they make summer plans here, they met a man here this morning who says luckily a company covers his gas. each a slight increase in the prices could leave the

check in with adam, meteorologist adam, he's keeping track on what is happening there. it's been about five hours now since the eye of the storm hit the land there. what are we seeing? >> in these last couple of moments, jackie, new information coming in. the winds are continuing to die down but we just went to a category two storm. we are down to a hundred miles an hour wind. it's not falling apart but shrinking a little bit. you can see the eye wall slowly getting smaller and these are strong winds getting up to that hundred and ten in places like fort lavaca continue to deal with strong winds as well as victoria but it's weakening in general and like corpus christi was in a very heavy rain it's falling out of that and we getting just a bit. the other story is that it continues to slow down and will continue through the overnight hours. moving now only at 6 miles and hours were not seen movement and the problem with that is anyone who is in the way of it rain follows and falls and falls because it's not moving quickly and not pushing out of that area. it is starting t

what do you think, adam? am afraid we are still in the delusional stage in this country, these two papers are at least some advance towards reality, but... for instance, the brexit secretary david davis said that the talks with europe were going incredibly well. they are not. they are going incredibly badly. fundamental dishonesty amongst the politicians in this country exists, the cabinet is split three ways, they are in a bad hole. it is only going to be a question of time before this is revealed and the british public realise they have been sold a total pup. what happens then, goodness only knows but i think these two papers, at least there is a transitional deal acceptance, that is important, because the idea of marching off a cliff face would be a disaster for everyone in this country, not just for business but for ordinary working people as well. we are slowly moving towards reality but my goodness, the europeans are correct when they say we are still living in neverland. many business leaders have said

hey, adam. >> maybe a few hours but then changes coming in tonight. feeling the humidity, that's increasing and so is the chance of showers. as we look at storm tracker6 live double scan, you can see some rounds of rain skirting northern lancaster berks as well as lehigh county heading up into the poconos. that is one round of rain along interstate 78. but as we widen out you can see there are more in the way of downpours and thunderstorms scattered anywhere from the ohio tennessee valley i was points to the east along a cold front and that is moving in our direction. so we'll be tracking these for the next 24 hours. but for this evening, again, most areas dry for the first couple hours between 7 o'clock, 8 o'clock with temperatures in the upper 70's. it is humid with downpours and scattered thunderstorms will be developing later this evening. so you may want to bring an umbrella just in case you get hit by one of them. as we head into the weekend it's kind of a 50-50 split here. tropical humidity returns again for saturday with rounds of downpours, s

hey, adam. >> yeah, those clouds have raced in.we did see sunshine early on today but those clouds being replaced by higher humidity, that's also sparking a couple showers around the area. as we look at storm tracker6 live double scan you can see locally to the west we're dealing with a few light showers anywhere from the northeast extension and central parts of montgomery county, chester county, delaware county, northern new castle county and approaching philadelphia. again, no the really -- not really wetting the roads all that much but needing to use that windshield wiper once or twice as they go through. chris if you can hear me hit the play button so we can show you what else is going on here this evening as well as we move forward with those temperatures 'cause those temperatures have been in the 80's here this afternoon. right now 81 degrees in philadelphia. 78 in washington. 78 in pittsburgh. 79 in charleston, west virginia and near 80 in buffalo as well as syracuse so we're not dealing with tremendous summer heat for this

adam joseph is here. i can't believe the first day of august. wave and we should 90 degrees for the the next three days. hot and humid typical for the first week of august. as we look at stormtracker 6 live double scan we are dealing with some downpours and thunderstorms popping up closer towards the poconos and a few now starting to drag themselves down into the northwestern part of the lehigh valley and north and west of allentown and on the corner of northern berks county and they flair up and rain themselves out and don't last that long and slowly drifting and staying in the region. overnight tonight, for most of us warm and humid and partly cloudy and 74 degrees. 68 in allentown 71 in wilmington and 66 in northern parts of ocean county. more of the same today. hazy sunshine and a tad humid, there could be an isolated downpour north and west in the afternoon. and most areas look to stay dry and the temperatures running at 90 degree orz or so. current temperatures 90 in philadelphia and close to it for many other cities, lehigh valley and tre
