ben franklin was asked as he was leaving the constitutional convention, what do we have, doctor, a monarchy or a republic? and his response was, a epublic, if you can keep it. and we can't keep it without being educated about our civic life. and our sic responsibility. because we have rights because they come with obligations. and they obligate us to preserve our democracy. and to work on insuring that it remain vibrant. and so my charge to me personally and morally as a justice is to ensure that i don't just write about the constitution, but that i teach about it. impugn every to person i come into contact with with a passion an love for it as keep as the one i feel because for me, we don't create a more perfect union unless we understand our union and are working actively as a community to empower it and to ensure that every member is striving as hard as we are individually to be active in it. and so it was justice o'connor's goal to ensure that every child in america is taught civics. i agree with her mission. and i'm doing everything i can to further it even more than she already did. >

media relies on billionaires to keep it afloat >> well, if you go back 200 years, somebody like ben franklinprinter, could start his own newspaper in the 1740s and '50s 19th and 20th century, most papers have been owned by people of some wealth when my grandfather bought "the washington post" in 1933, he was buying it after a career in wall street, quite a wealthy person in his day, good thing he was, he lost money on the post for 21 years before it became profitable and mr. pulitzer, mr. hearst, you used to work on "the wall street journal." people that owned that were pretty well off. so this isn't new but it is a new and different set of owners and some of them will find they don't like it and will move on and some of the ones you named will turn out to be terrific owners i have no doubt. >> don, you're also on the facebook board for six years until 2015 came out last year publicly to defend mark zuckerberg in the cambridge scandal. we have seen more revelations in terms of data and privacy and what's arguably misuse of those. how do you think about it now in terms of facebook and everyth

before ben franklin was allowed to return to the united states.efferson then is put in his place as the head minister at the court of oversight. daughter john adamson is put in as our first emissary to the court of st. james in london. kind of nervous about it but i think has worked out for him very well. americans then stepped into france. into this scene of the french, french court. they were certainly entering a world that they had not experienced in north america. because it was a place, it was an environment that placed an extraordinary amount of emphasis upon your personal appearance, decorum, even gesture, movement. and so this is kind of a world they entered right there at the very very beginning. so how did jefferson adapt to this? well there is a letter he wrote and that is what i'm going to cite from here. they wrote to a friend in virginia after his first year in france and he even listed in it in his epistolary record as my view of europe. and so through this then, he gives his impressions, he is writing it to charles blanca he lived
