george hamilton relays that enough is enough on the day off the dinosaur are you see desert over to have proper place in the house to be a furnace and justice thank you. so far we've identified says she 8 people who were involved in the murders of 120 past people who are members of the circle security forces we've named most of them there may be others we don't know of very few spend a day in jail now that's too many people over short few he has involved in 120 matches in one geographic small geographical area to be explainable by the bad apples there as far as the victims were concerned they were just collateral damage in what was a state systemic policy of collusion now as far as the families are concerned they have the right to truth and justice some want apology and acknowledgment others want day in court will support whatever and they choose. well it's amazing how the truth comes. out as george greenwich o. said to me that said becomes like god under the door. and it has happened from time to time. some people have for a not conscious has taken them and they have revealed different

so the party system was developing under the second term of george washington and hamilton on one side, jefferson on the other side. there were partisan newspapers. they said terrible things about each other. there are echos from the past and we got through it. >> and the norms versus what law is, i'm curious to your perspective on this especially given the president's tweet this morning saying, you know, well, i have the legal right to get involve if i want to, but i'm choosing not to. >> what i discovered after going into government -- >> right. >> being a journalist, there are so many norms in washington that are not actually lost. so this separation between the justice department and the white house is a norm. the president is correct when he says there is no law that says he can't meddle in the justice department. again what i would do in the next presidency is you'd have to reform the legislation about the justice department. >> it would be on congress' shoulder. >> you need to put a real moat around it, this is a quasi judicial branch and look at the fbi. you have fbi directors

george washington. >> a much smaller cabinet, so his secretary of war and alexander hamilton as the secretary of treasury, and then edmund ran off who is the attorney general at that time, interestingly john adams was not a member of the cabinet, and he was kept out. washington saw him, he saw him as a legislator. and he did not want to have the executive in the legislative branch like that together so this is interesting as well because the constitution implies that the senate is going to be a consulting body of the president, and will get advice and consent to get a treaty ratified in the senate so they share the power but the senate was to political to be a good consulting body. first of all, he cannot get rid of senators, he had no control over their appointment. they were not secretive enough, and would be to empty for arguments to spread and get into the world, so the senate clearly was a deliberative body, and not a consulting one, so it's interesting to see how they made this into this consulting body, that the senate was thought to be when the framers wrote the constitution itself. >> doug brad

the presidency the george washington had in the 1790's was no moment of perfection. liked cabinet members alexander hamilton and thomas jefferson at each other stroke. they grinned the party system around him. terribletear -- a military defeat. that was in part around corruption involving the quality of the muskets. washington dealt with a lot of the same challenges that any democracy deals with. we have to have a long perspective on her own challenges today to understand that they aren't new. history gives us some perspective that allows us. people have dealt with difficult things in the past. host: just a little over five minutes left here on c-span. we are live from mount vernon on this presidents' day. is with us.burn an image of the george you canon tomb outside, see it there on your screen. when of our viewers tweets and to ask is george washington's slave buried at mount vernon? guest: we believe that william lee is buried at mount vernon. we have no idea where. there is no gravestone that is marked. there is no record of a position. it's a shame. we have an african-american burial ground. we have a

it doesn't matter whether your favorite founding father was hamilton or jefferson or george washington or madison, they all agreed and they all understood that the power to declare war and the criteria for judging war is vested in congress, and the legislature. we have not been paying attention to that for several decades as you pointed out. mike lee, rightfully so pointed out there that congress doesn't just have the power, they have the obligation to decide this, the moral obligation. people are going to dial me go toward we want to make sure that the public supports the war before you put men and women's lives in danger. kennedy: didn't commit the united states to another conflict that might be unresolved after 18 or 20 years. that clearly is just wrong. the house again this sentence a different version and now it has to back to the house can you quickly explain the difference between the two chambers and in terms of the resolution/legislation? >> sure, the senate bill is better i will say that. the senate bill is more deferential to the president and that it doesn't condemn him for

trevor nicholas, who you may recognise from london's west end as the genie in aladdin and george washington in hamiltondiversity on the entertainment scale. there has been so entertainment scale. there has been so much struggle for representation of tonic for people of colour in general. last night, watching what parasite was able to do in changing the conversation and the acknowledgement of it was truly remarkable and beautiful to see in such a large scale. joaquin phoenix in his speech spoke about diversity and the not being enough diversity, parricide crashed through in a way that nobody expected,. —— parricide. how much does that translate more broadly to you? for me, it opens the conversation up, one that i think a lot of people are afraid to have. it is about sitting down and doing what we're doing today, that is talking about were the dips are in diversity, where it needs to be more representation. one of the things thatjoaquin phoenix did so well last night was covering accountability. it is not an admission of privilege, bias or guilt, it is about being able to have a conversation about it as

can you tell the story of eliza hamilton and her claims that her husband wrote george washington's farewellddress? >> it's a crazy story and one of my favorite ones in the book. the fact that it was washington's speech is what mattered. alexander hamilton famously died in a duel, and his reputation had hit a low point. it's a crazy story. it was like a spy novel. there was a bundle of secret documents that was sealed and waxed. hamilton's supporters would pass it around. these are people who were loyal to hamilton. one of the people involved with somebody who really cared about alexander hamilton. one of his sons would try to go to the house and be nice. when that did not work, the other son came along and was very menacing and tough. that did not work. it took a long time. it was one of those stories where people were gossiping. how much of this is hamilton, how much of this is washington, washington had nothing to do with it himself. he did not claim authorship in the way that someone like kennedy did. it is an example that americans have always loved gossiping about presidents. >> john k

george washington? guest: much smaller. he had the secretary of war, henry knox. secretary of state thomas jefferson, and then alexander hamilton, secretary of the treasury. edmund randolph, the attorney general at the time. interestingly, john adams who was the vice president was not a member of the cabinet. he was kept out, essentially. hehington saw him -- since was president pro tem of the summit -- senate, he saw him as a legislator and did not want to have the executive and legislative branch mitch together -- mixed together. it is interesting because the senate was supposed to be the consulting body of the president. the president is supposed to get advice and consent to get a treaty ratified in the senate, so they share the power to make treaties. point of fact, the senate was something that was too politico for it to be a good consulting body for washington. he could not get rid of senators. he had no control over their appointment. they were not secretive enough. it would be too easy for arguments to spread and get out into the world. the senate clearly was a deliberative body, not a consulting one. it is interesting

group of new yorks ers -- and it was th elite of the state, people like the governor, george clinton, alexander hamiltonrs who were always outsiders, always pursuing their own agenda. but these two groups got together to try and set new york state on a path towards manumission. to free its enslaved people, to help free blacks in the state, to make sure they weren't kidnapped by slave catchers, to educate free blacks so they'd be better able to resist ruses and wiles laid for them. by 1827, there were no more slaves in new york. now, you can look at that and say, well, 42 years, that's a pretty slow pace. on the other hand, it worked. if more states had done that, we might not have had a civil war. >> yeah. you know, noah, we're talking about nationalism, of course. you look at the nationalism in hungary. you look at even a renewed sense of nationalism from china, russia. there's just such an anti-democratic strain to all of those nationalistic urges. then you look at what's happening in the united states. you have a president that, like hungary, has absolute contempt for the media, and is doing everythi

the presidency that george washington had in the 1790's was no moment of perfection. ,e had his own cabinet members thomas jefferson and alexander hamilton, at each other's throats. they created the first party system all around him while he was trying to keep them working together, keep them compromising. he he had a terrible military defeat. he sent an army to the ohio, destroyed by native americans. in part because of the muskets provided for the army. so, washington dealt with a lot of the challenges that any democracy deals with. you think we have to have a long perspective on our own challenges today. to understand they are not new. history gives us perspective that should allow us to be confident that people have dealt with difficult things in the past. they have found ways to work together even in times of great partisanship to make sure we rise to the challenge and keep this great experiment of democracy going. host: a little over five minutes left on c-span. we are live from mount vernon on this presidents' day. is with us.burn an image of the george you canon tomb outside, see it there on your screen. when of our viewers tweet

george, cbs news, new york. >> experts say exercising outside in cold weather can also boost your mood and immunity in cold and flu season. >>> the tony award winning musical hamilton took broadway and the world by storm when it debuted, and the show is still living up to the hype in san francisco. we spoke to the actor who plays george washington, his name? darnell abraham. emily turner spoke to him on president's day. >> reporter: our first president was a general in the war, but was there anything you learned about him, either as a president and/or as a man that surprised you in your research? >> you know, he had insecurities. and we don't see that in the history books. he was a man who had fears and frustrations, and that's something that i can identify with. so it removes the sense that this man is untouchable to where actually this guy is very similar to the rest of us. that was a pretty important connection i made. >> saw him perform 2 weeks ago. he's great as are all of them. >>> still ahead, tracking your habits. the new report that questions how ring cameras are sharing customer data with other companies. we all have progressive plans to address the big c

command, like lafayette, henry lawrence, alexander hamilton, who were very much anti-slavery and pushed washington to do more to speak out against slavery. george washington in the 1780s did write about slavery being an institution of great regret, an institution that he thought should be ended by legislation. but of course the movement to create a new constitution was going to create a new union, and a union of some states which were free states, something that didn't exist before the revolution. the first emancipation happened in those early constitutions in the walker case in 1782 in massachusetts, which freed all the slaves in massachusetts. that would never have happened without the american revolution. and so you had a situation where the union was created and it was a union built on compromise. you had some states that still had slavery and some getting rid of it gradually, and some had no slaves. washington understood that the union wouldn't have existed in that form in that moment if slavery didn't still exist. so there were compromises made at the very beginning of the country that washington in his political life and in his public li

yepsen: jimmy carter and hamilton jordan picked up on the theme that george mcgovern had.ork hard in iowa. do well as a springboard into new hampshire to get money, momentum, media attention. so they raised the stakes. other candidates were coming here. it was the jumping off point and i think johnny apple was paying attention. they said the 1972 iowa was telling us something about the war. the national media started to pay attention. you have a rolling ball. politicians came, national media came, and that meant politicians wanted to spend more time here. it raised it to a higher profile. jimmy carter did not win the caucus but he got more votes than any other candidate. he was the uncommitted delegates especially got more votes but jimmy carter set the template and made it work, he went all the way to the white house and that really put the events on the map. as a side note, there were also some on the republican side, republicans did not do a lot of counting but there were some estimates made of president ford and ronald reagan strength as a challenger and president ford

hamilton put the kibosh on that saying it was for the misconduct of public men from the abuse of some public trust. republicans also argued that obstruction of congress was an absurd charge citing georgeongress had no reason to see his papers except that of an impeachment. what about this argument from alan dershowitz. >> if a president does something which he believes will help him get elected in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment. >> well, not so much. william davey argued at the constitutional convention if he be not impeachable whilst in office he'll spare no efforts or means whatsoever to get re-elected. that's what's at stake today. president trump hasn't admitted wrongdoing. and republicans' lack of interest even in witnesses could open the door to a massive expansion of presidential power including foreign interference in our elections at the same time we know they're trying to interfere in our elections. the last test will be whether the senate votes to censure the president. it requires only a simple majority vote. this is not acceptable for presidents of either party to act this way. but don't hold your breath that mitch
