alexander hamilton, by the way, planted that seed in my mind. >> that's anxiouses my question. should that be in the norm or is that an outcome of current times? in other words, shouldn't the primary responsibility be to do good as opposed to looking for wrongdoing? >> well, i take doing good for granted. >> okay. >> i mean, why would you do any task, whether with the got or outside the government, if you warrant harping a beneficial effect it but when you get behind the standard obligations of a public servant or anyone else, think truthfulness in confronting wrong-doing is important. and alexander hamilton -- i always go back to hamilton first with read the founding fathers -- he talked about impeachment in terms of the number one offense that has to be addressed is compromising the public trust, and certainly we have seen too much of that liberty was nixon, whether it was reagan and iran-contra in the 1980s, whether it was bill clinton, which is controversial but still i think he did compromise the public trust and now look what we're dealing with, day after day. i think the

they will be leading the two .eparate marches to trenton you have alexander hamilton with the new york artillery. he will be in aid for washington later in the. you also have a young james monroe who would become our fifth president of the united states. you have quite a few of the founding fathers in the army at this point. they had to wait for the artillery and it's about or :00 in the morning on december 26. the army has about a nine mile march ahead of them i think it was john greenwood who wrote about the march and said basically we marched no faster than a 10-year-old could walk and stopping frequently. with numerous halts and starts. it took about four hours to go nine miles. the army divided into two columns. accompanied nathanael greene column that would come from the northeastern end of town. within minutes of each other, they encountered the hessians guard post and force them into town. this event is the pivotal moment of the revolution, the crossing of the delaware followed by the victory at trenton. many, including washington, they thought the war was practically over and

you also have alexander hamilton with the new york artillery. he will be an aide for washington later on in the war. you have a young, 18, lieutenant james monroe. he would become the fifth president of the united states. you have quite a few of the founding fathers in the army at this point. once the army is across, they had to wait, the artillery took some time to get across. it is about 4:00 in the morning on december 26. the army has a nine mile march ahead of them. i think it is john greenwood who wrote about the march. he says we marched no faster than a 10-year-old could walk, and stopping frequently. there was a line of march, numerous halts and starts. it took about four hours to go the nine miles. there was a crossroads. the army divided into two columns. they had about a four mile march from there. washington accompanied general green's column, which came in along the northeast side of town. general sullivan came in a long river road. within minutes of each other, they encountered the guard posts on the edge of town and forced them in

in particular, alexander hamilton walked these streets.gs for the treasury office were right there. that's the first bank of america, and our next song -- yeah, let's hear it for the first bank of america. we have a lot now. [applause] mr. harcourt: but our next song details how that bank got its charter. hamilton was obsessed as treasury secretary with getting a debt plan passed and paying for all the debt they incurred with the war and the southern democratic republicans were dead set that he would not pass it. he had to do something he didn't really enjoy, but to make some trades to see what he could get done. never before i think has a song made passing a debt plan sexy and danceable, so it's got that going for it. [laughter] it also happens to be the -- the platform and the impetus for aaron burr to jump into a political life. he was laying back at that time, and when he saw the kind of power that hamilton could wield, he wanted in. helping me, we have playing the role of hamilton, gracious and taylor. we have thomas jefferson is ra m

this officer was lieutenant alexander hamilton. commanding the new york city militia artillery. now in my opinion, and i have to make that clear, in my opinion, general washington knew that his troops did not have the expertise, the training or experience to defeat the german forces from these professional german regiments on a fair field of battle. there's three regiments here, about 1500 men, washington is approaching with 2500 men. he has more troops, but his troops do not have the level of training and ability of the german troops do. and i think washington believed that and that washington's strategy here is to deprive the enemy of a fair field of battle. we are now in millville park in the city of trenton, where about half a mile, five blocks away from the battle monuments which is at the top of the battlefield, this is the base of the battlefield. not broad street is here, warren street, king street you can see the traffic light over there. it's a quite a distance. about 200 yards apart, this is the face of the triangle. this is where washington's other force would come i

[inaudible question] >> boston and charleston might be seen as opposite but we are talking about two of the oldest cities in america, visual cities, and sections in history. why do we care about charleston in the year 1860? well, we know here why we care. this is my starting point for the book. charleston was really the vanguard and it was written the last day of 1860s to a colleague, a fellow man of the church in the north, he shed light on this. people are living in these times and that matter actually helped me make up his mind because there has to be story there. five phases of what might be thought of as madness, public issues. first is fear. the story begins in the fall of 1859, really. john brown, the militants, and the range there was tremendous alarm and the beginning of the broad scale uprising. the hometown paper said your negroes are constantly wanting to cut our throats. they are forming vigilance committee and calling fo

we're sitting in dc today because of a deal that alexander hamilton cut where he traded away the capital of the nation in order to assume state debt and give the nation a better credit rating. and so i believe that hamilton teaches us a lot of things. one of them is that the impossible is also possible. i remain optimistic that tax reform is in fact a very real possibility for this year. under article i of the constitution, all revenue bills must originate in the house. so respecting that tradition, i'm going to start with george today. and in our system we know that the senate always likes to get the last word in. i'll make sure that mark gets the final comments of this morning. george, i want to start with you. and the administration right now is going down the well-worn path of trying to find, quote, the best tax plan, and also going through an exercise a lot of us have done a number of times in order to try to find revenue. i don't think everyone realizes that house republicans went down their own six-year path. i would like you to explain a little bit about some of the options that

you don't have alexander hamilton working it out although he does have a long and proud bipartisan position of legal advice and the presidents know when it dictates to the incredible career and attorneys in the executive branch and the solicitor general's office as well. so in other words, it is more susceptible to the pressure of the other differences as well. so much depends upon having a president set the right tone of the commitment to the rule of law as a kind of legal advice the president wants to hear. you may remember following 9/11, this is when many people first heard of the interpretation harmed when someone leaked the memoranda not in the tradition of the office on the interpretation that found the president could rely on the ability to order torture and those have been widely repeated. it returned in the tradition of accurate advice, but we saw, remember we saw the supreme court engaged very actively in reviewing the post-9/11 administration actions for several years in the cases so what does this signify with regards to trump through his own actions he has substantially eroded

as alexander hamilton put it, impeachment should occur when there's some fundamental violation by publicf their trust, basic abuse of power that harms the society itself and doesn't require an indictable crime. it requires a majority vote of the u.s. house of representatives and if a president is impeached, he is then tried by the u.s. senate and removal requires a two-thirds vote of the senate. >> donald trump may or may not be impeached. what i'm asking now is whether or not given what you believe, what others believe he has done to date, are those offenses impeachable? >> i think there are certainly impeachable offenses on the table against donald trump, more than significant enough to begin an impeachment investigation in the proper venue, which is the house judiciary committee. you know, the republicans were very hot to impeach bill clinton on obstruction of justice. what does he obstructing? a private consensual affair. there's a pile of evidence indicating that donald trump is investigating something of orders of magnitude more significant, that is possible collusion with an attac
