but dalia was a crucial player in madison's life that was almost normal to stop calling her the first lady and to give you another example on that when he was running for president people were putting out the worst, the most vicious stories that he was supposedly renting dolley out to congress said they would vote for him and so she had the most marvelous ability to deal with the slanderous stories. if abigail adams restore like that she would have gone berserk. but dalia just smiled and said they are only trying to wound my sensibility and she just went right off spiraling away. >> host: she took friends to carry on about her husband and said this was great theater or something -- >> guest: there was one guy named john randolph who ran against madison in the house of representatives so she brought groups of women and they would sit in the gallery and watched and they would leave and that night at dinner dolley would say this is as good a show and that reduced rate of politically speaking about that tall. but the one story i love the most is when he won the presidency the first time t

. >> guest: the american army ran away but dalia said i would put one in each window of the house and fight to the end. >> host: that is a little more than a hostess. >> guest: she was an extraordinary woman in that respect and would keep her head and situations most people not just a woman but a man would be completely upset and lose all contact with reality but not hurt and also she played such an important role in madison's life in a disaster like this. there was talk after the british durham, the white house and the capitol and other major buildings there was talk of assassinating madison was bringing him up as he become a rather heated president but when dalia went out on the street people saw her and they cheered. >> host: she really rescued him. he was a rather bland person. >> guest: he wore black of the time and had a soft breeze and was very charming and private with close friends but with the public he became a recluse except when he went to a dinner party and then dolly was the presiding genius of the table at madison, too would open up and he could tell very funny stories

so they settled with the government for fair market dalia. $150,000, 1100 acres of prime real estate and 16,000 tombs on the banks of the potomac river. the great irony is when custis leaves signed the estate over, the title over to the federal government, custis lee on one side assigning the title and all the other side was the secretary of the war, robert todd lincoln, the son of abraham lincoln, you had a son of lee and some of lincoln agreeing on something and i would say that that was the beginning of some hope that we could reunite to the north and south again. it took awhile, but that was the beginning of the reunion. >> so we are going to walk back here to the first tomb of the unknown soldiers? >> yes. one of the great traditions of arlington is honoring the unknown soldiers, the lost in the war. the first instance of that came just after the civil war when quartermaster general montgomery banks said recovery teams out into the battlefield and not washington lived in a 30-mile radius in washington to recover unknown soldiers from that war. they brought them here to this part

. >> dalia and watson democrat of california. now we are going to the other coast and we are going to talk with joe crowley, a democrat from new york. but in that speech can you to come to new york? >> i think there's a lot to take home to new york. every issue he mentioned this evening whether it is health care, financial reform, he talked about the need for financial security. these are all issues that don't just pertain to new york or any part of the country it is for all of the country in degrees beach. >> new york city not necessarily your district but new york city is quite a banking center. do you agree with what the president has called for? >> i agree with a great deal the president called for including the transparency, the democratic coalition for major proponents of the creation of cfpa as well as getting to the crux of what the issues were revolving door of it so we were very much involved in that. i think that is certainly something we need to take place. i also think the banks need to pay back what they owe to this

he wasn't planning to give it, he rejected that for the march on washington and jackson was on the dalia is with him and wasn't one of king's better speeches, most people thought was okay because it was a very restrained speech and he was worried about kennedy in the civil rights bill. we to be careful was directed to white people and halfway through keefer rustam the prepared text and just as free-form black preaching and he's on the spot combining all of his wrists and blending them and to a halt and john kennedy is riding along in a prepared text and looks up because kennedy who didn't really like king and king really did not respect kennedy and suddenly king as one speaker at my ring of the artist and he says where is he going now? you know. he took off. what's happening here? >> yes, michael. >> to unrelated questions and you can decide to answer either or neither of them. first one to go back to the jeremiah wright example and less on the similarities or differences of the rhetoric but the fact as you mentioned it is a snippet we hear of july right and that is at least in part beca

people are dalia, getting murdered and locked up but they're still human beings with parents, children, families. and we need to try to understand who they are and not simply to say who drug use, drug trafficking, bad coming u.s. government, good. as if we control this very sharp line between the good and evil when it comes to the drug issue. it's much more complicated than that. >> i would like to tell if you can how you went about selecting the individuals that hold to their stories. it appears you spent hours with them probably and possibly multiple meetings, and it's quite a range of the cast of characters including a scuba diving instructor. tell us about the range of folks in your book and how they all have these connections to the same subject of interest. >> what i tried to do is show the different layers of the trafficking business from the highest levels to the lowest levels. the lowest levels where you find the most people and the most easy to come by but when i had access to middle and upper level people that is when i got tenser. there's one woman i interviewed in the book

>> as a member of the politician and member of the dalia i have my views about the constitution. this is a debate that should be held among the members of the debate of the die get, so in the sense i would like to offer my ideas and proposals for what my ideal of the constitution should be. but more than security issues my ideas are focused on my concern for increasing regional sovereignty based on the idea of a fundamental change in the relationship between the central government and localities. at the same time however i am prime minister and as such obliged to follow and uphold the constitution as it presently stands. this means my work must be conducted from the position of upholding the constitution. when we think along these lines we need to bring together the views of the three coalition parties especially within the democratic party of japan. as we further date issues regarding the constitution. this is critically important. i think as i get members we cannot avoid the debate on the constitution. but at the same time, there are crucial real-life issues such as the economy
