it is on this spot that founding fathers like patrick henry, george washington and thomas jefferson, learned to be representatives of the people. so while this building is a story of virginia and its history, it is in a far greater sense the history of the entire united states of america. its story is part of our common heritage as citizens. this was the very first government building ever to be referred to as a capitol. prior to this, down at jamestown, they called the government building the statehouse. and they lost four statehouses to fire down at jamestown. when they came here to williamsburg in 1699 and this building was built by 1704, it was determined that they would use the term capitol based on capitoline hill in rome which they thought was the home of the ancient roman senate. and the chamber that we're standing in, this is the chamber of the house of burgess, which was the lower house of the assembly. and just like the house of commons in london, this is where all money bills had to originate. and so during the 18th century, there would be two burgesses for every county,

there is george washington and thomas jefferson engaged in a war of words with alexander hamilton.f you told someone this was going to happen, they would say, show me. you?id it change personally and professionally. jonathan: the great thing about theater, i think, you do it eight times a week. it is almost a religious experience because you are repeating the same words every night. and you are listening to the same words every night. but have anp indelible print on your soul after you are done. i try to kick my theater pieces carefully because of that very thing. you end up getting infected by whatever sort of message the show is. you sing it every night. it's a must like a prayer. almost like a prayer. it becomes a part of you. and i share a dressing room space. tell people we shared a studio apartment in midtown. we share a bathroom and it's hilarious. he is such an inspirational human being that being surrounded by him, you want to take in that air. charlie: he said i will know it's great when kids are learning it in high school. that'll be the real test. jonathan: won't it be

george washington. and for some reason thomas jefferson always had him in the eye of the storm too. and there's a belief, not to get sidetracked too much, that george washington and thomas jefferson had a spat in writing. and jefferson knew that washington was also a historic figure and didn't want historians to know how bad this got and how angry washington got at him. so who would be in control of washington's letters at his death? who was the last one to see him? tobias lear. and if those letters were to disappear, who would be responsible? and then who would owe who a favor? be tobias lear, so he's going to go in and negotiate the first american victory in war. and without telling eaton, who had plans to take tripoli and take out the leaders who we observed, without any notice, he cuts a deal. actually even cuts a payment. we didn't even free hamid's family. we cut a premature deal. next thing you know, our guys are out, everybody's celebrating, word gets to eaton, you've got to day to hop on the ship, we're done. we've got to go. he's hailed as a hero. he's given huge sections o

there is george washington and thomas jefferson and thomas jefferson i'm gauged in a war of words with. extraordinary things, if you told someone this is going to happen, they would say show me. >> yes. >> rose: so how would it change you? professionally and personally. >> the great thing about theatre i think is you do it eight times a week. it's almost a religious experience when you're doing theatre because you're repeating the same words every night and you're listening to the same words every night. and it can't help but have an indelible print on your soul after you're done with a theatre piece. and it's as an actor i've tried to really pick my theatre pieces carefully because of that very thing. you end up getting infected by whatever sort of message the show is because you're singing every night. it's like a prayer almost every night. in front of an odd yurnls, you're sharing this thing and it becomes a part of you. so surrounded by lynn's energy alone. lynn and i share a dressing room space. we're calling it the year we shared a studio apartment in midtown. the two of us, we s

who is jefferson in today's scenario. >> i would say when george bush took on the saddam hussein threat, when he got it wrong, jefferson got the wrong strategy in the beginning. when he doubled down and got the right generals involved. and he won. but what jefferson did it stopped in 1805 before total victory. this is bush 43 and 41. 41 he didn't take out saddam. 43 he didn't stay with the surge. james madison had to go back in 1815 and get total today it laying. if you let the military do their job even back then they win. the good news, they couldn't stop them. kennedy: jefferson wasn't interested in nation building because they had to focus on the united states. but if ash carter, john kerry and president obama read your book would they be able to solve the isis crisis? >> i think they would. you have got to confront and steamroll the enemy and let them know there is no alternative. we gave them back a victory. we let them come back into syria because syria collapsed. let that be the message from satellite. kennedy: keep writing books, come back and enlighten the world. >> i'll see y

he has written about presidents like jefferson and jackson. george hw bush is the new one. the former president allowed meechan exclusive access to his personal taped diarys and other material. >> the reason he cooperated with this, the reason he gave me his diaries and mrs bush gave me his diaries, is they do want the record to be clear. he wasn't attacking his son. he thought his son used rhetoric that was too hot, but-- >>> that's a criticism of his son >> yes >>> of another president of the united sthats and his son, right >> it is. it is striking that he articulated it, but i think he had reached a point where me wanted to make the point for history that diplomacy in force are not competitive but complementary. i think that's what it was >>> the striking thing about this book, which there are so many, but the striking thing to me is that the father and son never had this discussion before; start? . >> no. i think you and i have, but this is the odd intersection of two forces. one is the senior about bush's reflectionive deference to the uptolder of the office of the pr

and was the chief assistant to george washington he always had given the eye of the storm the washington and jefferson had a spat in writing. so who would be in control? who was the last one to see him who would be responsible? it would be to buy as. and then the leaders that we observe. we cut a premature deal. so the deal because it does not live up to the hype. we have to go. but he becomes an alcoholic. he trained his whole life for this. and with the altman victory in respect. so in the year 89 he knew he lived a historic life i've bought his biography on amazon $112. i was trying to get it and i got it. but if you look in his biography and background should be $1 million. those other types of people if you're looking impact that the one major setback for the uss philadelphia. they went through very shallow water. because then they were cheating. but they run aground then taking 303 prisoners. but the problem was stephen decatur was on board. so that we don't have you will not use it. so i thought i would read you this. is essentially lord nelson said the commander with a small force in a very sh

i would default back to that nomenclature as articulated first by george washington in 1796 and thomas jeffersonin 1801 and amplified by monroe in 1823. they established something like the nation ought to steer clear of foreign entanglements. this is a vigorously debated question. if this is the foreign policy calculus -- yet this is the foreign policy calculus. there are three foreign policy that people come back to an reinterpret towards their own and. was the time right to openly cast off those archaic values? what is isolationism? should the u.s. colonized seemingly available portions of central and south america, the pacific, asia, africa? observing sweeping global transformations, in light of these questions, many americans recognized the country had to play a significant international role. the crystal -- crucial question was, how would engaging with the world influence society at home? i think that sounds familiar to us today. i think that is why the book has had the influence it has had. and as jackson noted, i think that is why we will see more of these questions coming up in the 2016

someone like jefferson who attended the college of william and mary and studied with george here in town would have been here for much longer. so the situation sort of varied depending on which of these individuals you see. as the colonial capital, most of the -- well, essentially all of the really important business at the colonial level was administered here. so if these individuals had business that needed to be done with the state, they had to come here. so this was a busy place with people coming and going and visiting, sometimes for longer and sometimes for shorter. by all accounts, it was a pretty happening place. >> and when did williamsburg become the capital? >> so williamsburg becomes the capital of virginia in 1699. previous to that, it had been -- so from 1607 to 1698, the capital was in jamestown. and in 1698, the statehouse in jamestown burned down for the third time, and they started to -- or they took the opportunity to see if there was a better location. and williamsburg at that time was known as middle plantation. it was the home to the college of william and mary. it
