benjamin franklin. benjamin franklin. that's right. benjamin franklin was noted as a first-rate scientist before he became a statesman for 13 the colonies. benjamin franklin did a lot of work in electricity. benjamin franklin is said to be the isaac newton of electricity, an enormously prominent scientist in his day before the 13 colony-type thing and before signing the declaration of independence. ben franklin, he did a lot in electrostatics. so this then is negatively charged and the cat's fur then would be? positive. positive. which, by the way, underlies a very important principle called the conservation of charge. and the conservation of charge simply says that, "hey, gang, whatever charge you got, "it's what you got. "you don't make any more, you don't make any less. all you do is transfer it from one place to another." it's like maybe a brick road. there's so many bricks in the road. now, you take some of the bricks off the road and put them on the sidewalk. what's the total number of bricks i have before and after? same. the sa

>> so benjamin franklin when he was an apprentice in his brother's print shop here in boston just up the street apparently, you know, the relationship between the brothers wasn't strong, and the older brother didn't want benjamin to really have a role beyond his aprep disship, and benjamin was an up and coming writer and contributed some pieces that he wrote and slid under the door to the print shop as night under the pseudonym silence dogood. and when his brother so farred those, very much fell in love with the writing and printed them under the pen name, silence dogood. >> this was during the smallpox epidemic in boston, and the foremost academic for vaccination was -- attacking the idea of inoculation. the same people that wanted us to execute quaker, and then they wanted us to hang witches, and now they want us to inject ourselves with smallpox. so the newspaper is attacking the pasters, particularly cotton mather calling him a dung hill cock and baboon, other things you wouldn't find in a newspaper today.

so, for instance, benjamin franklin printed the pennsylvania gazette. 17291748. 1748, for the next 16 years until 1768, he remained a business partner were on the back of every pennsylvania gazette is still listed his name , printed by b. franklin. so while he did not -- was not active in the daily printing business, is to carry his name. and that his that was one of the first texts of the stamp act. that type of pennsylvania gazette, just a few weeks later was also advertising for franklin's poor richard's almanac which from the 1766 edition there were promoting as having the stamp act which all colonists should become familiar with because it will affect wall and so there in those newspapers you start to see sentiments of moderation in compliance. also, the boston tea party, december 21st 1770. president of seven massachusetts. here we have one of the most popular eyewitness accounts of the boston tea party. it was written by impartial observers. pseudonym which was very common. but in this account your read about a padlock being destroyed aboard one of the ships and other colonists

let's remember people like benjamin franklin. >> what is the global exchange?t is your relationship to that? >> it is another organization that i co-founded. we started it as a way to get americans involved in global issues. there are too few americans who have the opportunity to travel over seas. if you could help facilitate people to get other experiences like going to mexico or someplace like central america or wherever, seeing how other people live and seeing things through the eyes of other important isn't an opportunity. >> how many years did you live in cuba? >> i went to live in cuba and fell in love with a man from cuba. great the music and that spirit of the people and the culture. i had some bad run-ins with the government and ended up getting deported from cuba. >> what did you think of that? placehought it was a that has a lot of positive things like the free healthcare system and education and the negativeand a lot of things like no free speech, no freedom of assembly, things that i treasure highly. when i try to use my free speech in cuba, that i

benjamin franklin once said, it is the working man who is the happy man. it is the idle man who is the miserable man. so this story is the story of america. the work ethic defines who we are as a nation. it is in our d.n.a., unconstrained by excessive government, the industry and creativity of the american people has fueled the most prosperous and productive nation in the history of the world. so what gives americans or anyone else for that matter the character to pursue happiness? what animates our capacity to do work? in a word, energy, quite literally. the classic scientific definition of energy is the ability to do work. and americans' ability to perform work, to work hard and pursue happiness over the years has been supported by an abundant and affordable supply of domestic, american-produced energy. energy has been the indispensible ingredient in americans' ability to pursue happiness. think about it. the story of this country has been the story about american energy, coal, oil, natural gas, abundant, reliable, affordable energy has always been essen

benjamin franklin in the same way. philadelphians are played in all their cars in her train philadelphia is a world place, which is a contemporary concern as well. it's an interesting echo for me. there is also another promoter who is promoting the area around pennsylvania, who is very persistent and his idea was all about william penn. he thought it should be intent living it, but not philadelphia. he thought that was not an appropriate setting for this organization. so he pushed the area around media and brought a number of northeastern pennsylvania communities into the competition, each with their own proposal. places in the poconos came end in order to make that connection with william penn. it's interesting to me about a cartoon show philadelphia as william penn. to give out trying to be modern and historic at the same time. this cartoon speaks to that. u.n. diplomats are in the business he, flying on an airplane and philadelphia is saying goodbye and i suggest something about the perception philadelphia hatted it

island.from rhode one thing john kerry said to us, he relate to less a story, when benjamin franklin left after writing the constitution, someone asked him if it would be a republic. he said, a republic, if you can keep it appears the only way is if you know about it and if you know what is going on inside of it. that is the most important thing to do. >> i am from south portland, maine. one thing president obama told us is that you should try to do something you are passionate about. if you pursue whatever you are passionate about and stay engaged in turn events, you can -- in current events, you can learn a lot. >> are you as weird as the other guy from maine? >> as weird as him?

i don't know if television changed that are sent name, but benjamin franklin was not the only tinkererat this time -- great tinkerer at this time. to jump to contemporary tinkering, identifying the book dean kamen has been sort of the contemporary tinkerer. for those of you who don't know who he is, he's a serial inventor. he made his original fortune with a series of infusion pumps that allowed patients to receive medication around the clock without having a nurse price and, but he also invented a walking wheelchair, which never caught on, but he built this gyroscopic technology and the idea was he met upon a wheelchair to climb upstairs, so he invented -- came up with this ingenious technology to do that. it didn't catch on. they were very expensive. he's probably best known for the segue, built on the same technology as the walking wheelchair. i guess the segue eventually became a running joke. at a party or member when the segue came out a number of years back, it was hailed as the future of transportation. it was going to change the way we lived. unfortunately, a lot of cities and

as benjamin franklin said, you have a republic, madam, if you can keep it.ave mistakingly thought that martin luther king jr. merely helped african-americans, minorities in america. actually, he freed up a little white boy like me, who is a christian, to treat brothers and sisters as brothers and sisters. he did a great thing for all of america. it took that kind of vision -- the revolution, the civil war, the world wars, especially world war ii, and then on up to the civil rights movement to get where we should be. wants people she of courage, i can tell you personally my skin has gotten much, much thicker, but it still hurts a little bit when people that did not have my scores to get in school call me a moron and these ridiculous names and load up the internet with ridiculous allegations that are not true at all. so, that is not necessarily courage, not the kind that the great heroes of america had, but it is a confidence in knowing who i am and knowing where this country needs to be if it will continue for another 100 years. host: dolores, massachusetts.

from the moment benjamin franklin was calling the germans stupid people.at part of the history has been forgotten. but there's another component, which is the way we talk about latinos presume all of latino's migration status is the same. but we have to remember. puerto ricans are born citizens of the united states. not by their own decision. in 1917 citizenship was imposed. >> but just second class citizenship. >> and then cubans. the cubans have never been called illegal. but also societal inclusion. they have access to right and resources. and we see that reflected in the political representation, labor. >> it's why marco rubio ends up as an odd poster boy for the gop. i don't mean that in a derogatory way. or poster man. for the gop immigration conversations because the cuban pathway is such a very different alleyway. >> it's kind of ironic. it's been about seven or eight u.s. senators in our history have been latino. >> it's so disproportional. cubans, that's incredible. >> and they are illegal until they reach shore. they have a weird immigrant statu

once faith said, once the complaint is filed, under the laws that thomas jefferson and benjamin franklined 200 years ago when you were presumed guilty until proven innocent, that is where this started and gone all the way through from arizona v. miranda. >> once the judge comes in she will do what she is obligated to do under the law. advise him of his rights, if he can not afford a attorney one will be assigned to him. that is exactly what happened. he is assigned an attorney, a attorney will tell him in circumstance like this, don't talk anymore. jon: mike rogers is chairman of the house intelligence committee. he is a former fbi agent, he says this case sets a very dangerous precedent. here the fbi is questioning this terrorism suspect. they think they have got 48 hours before they need to read him his rights and here comes the judge. >> as you know, the judge is, goes like this. judge, u.s. attorney's office, fbi. that is the chain of command. jon: but somebody in the administration could have put a stop to this, right, eric holder or somebody? >> absolutely. they made a strategic le

my understanding was that really was started by benjamin franklin who, i believe he did have various religious beliefs throughout his life. at the time he proposed that, it seems to me he was probably a deist. was not someone who believed in the same god that i believe in as a christian. i am wondering, how do you see prayer and how was it proposed to you to be used in congress? it is one thing i'm a bit -- it is one thing, a prayer for a christian or a believer in another religion or someone who may be nominal in the faith or someone agnostic, atheist, or deist. >> franklin was, in 1787, at the continental congress but prayer came to the congress in 1789. interesting enough, it came three days before the stabbing smith clause of the first amendment. congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. on the day the establishment clause was proposed, there was a prayer. and there has, for the most part, been uninterrupted prayer since 1789. ofhink franklin's notion needing contact with the transcendent is at the foundation of

let's remember people like benjamin franklin. >> what is the global exchange? to that? >> it is another organization that i co-founded. we started it as a way to get americans involved in global issues. without that there are too few americans who have the opportunity to travel over seas. if you could help facilitate people to get other experiences like going to mexico or someplace like central america or wherever, seeing how other people live and seeing things through the eyes of other people, it is an important opportunity. >> how many years did you live in cuba? >> i went to live in cuba and fell in love with a man from cuba. i love the music and that great spirit of the people and the culture. i had some bad run-ins with the government and ended up getting deported from cuba. >> what did you think of that? >> i thought it was a place that has a lot of positive things like the free healthcare system and education and the culture, and a lot of negative things like no free speech, no freedom of assembly, things that i treasure highly. when i try to use my free

benjamin franklin wrote that he never made a man happy and never would. but had one achieved that, how one gains in income, it certainly does seem to matter when we think about something as profoundly as un- materialistic as human flourishing. economic cultures that are more or less enthralled with progressive equalization do have rather materialistic views of the human purpose. the american founders associated the word liberty with the phrase pursuit of happiness. it is in the exercise of freedom, including economic freedom where much of the happiness making occurs. the downside and might be less economic security. some is important, but it is not all important and certainly not enough for human happiness and portion. this underscores the truth that if americans want to resist europeanization, they have to do more than just engage in policy battle. i think taking back america's economy from those who have a social democratic nightmare, i would argue over the past 100 years, has to be more than an argument about the efficiency and mixed economies. we do n

barnes outside of philadelphia right near the great museum of art near the franklin institute, on benjamin franklin parkway in a phenomenal new building. the most exciting thing is we have been keeping track. right? it was just about a week ago, 10 -- only 10 democrats had not embraced same-sex marriage and they started falling one by one by one. last time we checked, it was eight last week and then seven and then it was six and today, it is four because two more democrats came out in support of same-sex marriage. the -- joe donnelly from indiana and heidi heightcamp from north dakota. four democrats left. that's not biggest announcement. the biggest announcement is a national leader, leader of the country of north korea actually came out in support of same-sex marriage. here he is speaking through a translator on saturday night love. >> as you know, in the past, i have taken a different view on same-sex marriage. >> uh-huh. >> but lately, my thinking on this issue has evolved. mostly because of the experiences of a nephew who happens to be gay. watching him suffer unhappiness because of this polic

that was benjamin franklin. my gripe is that these cameras that are implanted on the corners of the right turn only roads in jersey are run by private corporations. they are making a killing on the fines that are dished out to the people who slide through those right-hand turns a second too soon. host: thanks for the heads up on ben franklin, but we're talking about cyber security and not cameras. caller: ok, i'm sorry. host: burgoyne to move onto richard -- we're going to move onto richard. in the cyberk security field. there to be an inordinate concern over privacy when in fact the purpose of this legislation is to have a public- private partnership to protect national security information, to protect technology, to protect private corporations, and to have some guidelines for that cooperation so that we don't lose our competitive edge in the world market. perhaps your guest could talk more about that aspect. we desperately need a coordinated effort and we're byting hit very hard hackers, especially from china

in 1787, at the continental congress, the group had reached an impasse when benjamin franklin spoke and he said gentleman, i am an old man. but i have lived long enough to know that if a spero cannot fall without god knowing it, that an empire or republic cannot rise without his help and franklin suggested the group should pray. i think it is an example of bringing the spiritual into a secular environment. many of us feel the work of the spiritual is that of a minister only by the ordained clergy person i could inject some spirituality into my workplace, work environment or the secular environment. i would challenge that presuppositions. i think it is critically important to remember 90% the life of jesus was spent in a secular occupation. he was a carpenter. only three years of what we would consider a priest, profit, and minister, are reached. 75 percent of our biblical heroes and heroines were involved in secular occupations may yet were able to bring the spiritual into those occupations. daniel, shadrach, meshach or as we used to say the bad negro.

we live in a different time today than when benjamin franklin was postmaster general. today's hearing is about the way the postal service can modernize, work harder and work smarter and prepare for the future. while in a strong proponent of the benefits of the internet, the loss of business to e-mail and electronic bill payment is a problem in the postal service. we need an infrastructure in the country for moving matter, not just bits of data for the post office it isn't just about cutting cost of finding innovative solutions the will bring the usps back from the brink of financial collapse and make it stronger for the future. there is no doubt the postal service is a need of reform even without the pre-funding requirement which ensure we will hear a lot about today, the postal service is losing roughly $5 billion a year. to start off the conversation on the reform in the 113th congress i chaired a hearing on the oversight committee on the federal work force postal service since last week that focused on the postal service customers and what they need. edni elementary

this is the benjamin franklin room. senator kerry has been meeting today with south korea's foreign minister. the topic of their agenda has been north korea's nuclear program and threats against the united states and south korea. north korea announced plans earlier today to restart a nuclear reactor it had closed down more than five years ago. also today at the united nations, the secretary-general said he was "deeply troubled" by recent statements by north korea's government. zakaria's foreign minister and secretary john carry out -- south korea's foreign minister and secretary john kerry out in just a moment for statements. >> at the state department waiting to hear from secretary of state john kerry and the south korean foreign minister. earlier today, north korea announced plans to restart a nuclear reactor that it had closed down more than five years ago. in briefings across washington today, officials responded to that. at the white house, jay carney said "the entire national security team is focused on it." sayrs

benjamin franklin in a famous quote said it this way, he said, they that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither safety nor liberty. well said. and i think there are people with well-meaning intentions right now are not thinking of the fact that liberty comes with a cost. and it comes with a responsibility and accountability to continue on, to make sure that that liberty continues not only for me but for you and everyone else. and that liberty is protected from those who would take away our freedoms, our rights, even our lives. and while i like the hunt, and i love to trap shoot and love to shoot skeet and love to short sporting clay and i love the target practice, in my farm we have a target range, and my wife uses it as well. in fact, she uses it better than i do with a pistol. yet we also understand that with fun and enjoyment that can come from being trained, understanding the concerns that are there, as any tool, as my dad taught me not only how to shoot a gun and the dangers, inherent dangers that were there, that also demanded my respons

that was benjamin franklin.these cameras that are implanted on the corners of the right turn only roads in jersey are run by private corporations. they are making a killing on the fines that are dished out to the people who slide through those right-hand turns a second too soon. host: thanks for the heads up on ben franklin, but we're talking about cyber security and not cameras. caller: ok, i'm sorry. host: we're going to move onto richard. cyber: i work in the security field. inordinate an concern over privacy when in fact the purpose of this legislation is to have a public-private partnership to protect national security information, to protect protect private corporations, and to have some guidelines for that cooperation so that we don't lose our competitive edge in the world market. talkps your guest could more about that aspect. we desperately need a coordinated effort and we're getting hit very hard by hackers, especially from china, in state-sponsored attacks. guest: the level of the thread is exactly wh

benjamin franklin famously said the only sure things in life are death and taxes. today we americans live up to that first hard truth, the day when the tax man comes. for those of us in congress, tax day serves as an important reminder of just who is funding all of this government spending. it's the american taxpayer. even as families across america made tough decisions and tightened their household budgets, the federal government has gone on a spending spree. government is posting now four straight trillion-dollar deficits and growing the national debt, and it's approaching now $17 trillion. in recent years the average annual deficit has skyrocketed to 8.7% of our gross domestic product. these deficits should be all the evidence we need in order that we get our fiscal house in order. i believe, and nebraskans believe, to generate economic growth, we must first address our nation's addiction to spending. we need to fix our broken tax system, and what better time than tax day to highlight this need? tax day is a day to renew our efforts to simplify the tax system an

benjamin brang lynn once wrote, nothing can be said to be certain but death and taxes. with that most dreaded date, april 15 mere hours away, who are we to argue with franklin's words? we live in tax times all right. this year there's particular reason to take note as anthony mason will be reporting in our sunday morning dofer story. >> reporter: as many of us scramble to finish our federal tax returns by tomorrow's deadline we thought it was high time to file a report on an occasion you may or may not feel like celebrating. the 100th anniversary of the income tax. the tax that was born in 1913 doesn't look a whole lot like we're dealing with now. >> it doesn't. top rate in 1913 is 7% which is a rate that most of us would be happy to be paying right now. >> reporter: just ahead a century of taxing times. our sunday morning cover story. >> osgood: a jet-setting political wife has been changing her tune of late going back to her roots and apparently also settling some scores. mark phillips with be taking her measure. >> she can charm the birds out of the trees. >> your name is really nice but it's a bit short to make a song. >> reporter: and embarrassed an interviewer

benjamin franklin wrote that he never made a man happy and never would. but had one achieved that, how one gains in income, it certainly does seem to matter when we think about something as profoundly as un- materialistic as human flourishing. economic cultures that are more or less enthralled with progressive equalization do have rather materialistic views of the human purpose. the american founders associated the word liberty with the phrase pursuit of happiness. it is in the exercise of freedom, including economic freedom where much of the happiness making occurs. the downside and might be less economic security. some is important, but it is not all important and certainly not enough for human happiness and portion. this underscores the truth that if americans want to resist europeanization, they have to do more than just engage in policy battle. i think taking back america's economy from those who have a social democratic nightmare, i would argue over the past 100 years, has to be more than an argument about the efficiency and mixed economies. we do n
