born in the presidency of george washington.tarting in business as a teenager before the war of 1812. and ending his days after making deals with john d. rockefeller personally. it's hard to match a career of that length and over such a formative period as well. so, you know, the case that i make sort of humbly because these other guys are so important that's much of the key to his particular significance. >> and the most prominent figure is ford who is somebody who built the first cars he had, you know -- adapted the assembly line. raised these cars as an advertisement for them. worked out the whole plan to pay his workers enough, you know, to create a market for product and ford didn't switch midlife go into building airplaning. -- airplanes. but he built tractors but that's when he's quasi senile and they take the plant away from him. vanderbilt built amazing the hands-on part of it, i think, is very -- is almost unique. >> the giant leaps he made.wcju one of the things about the book is it's almost a history of the american

i close the book with george washington. judge because going back to first principles, let's take a look at his farewell address to the nation. he warned against, he said there was no greater threat to the american experiment than a partisan demagogue who agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms. candling the animosity of one part against the other. he warned against those who would serve to organize faction to give it an artificial and extraordinary force to put into place the delegating role of the nation, the will of the party. george washington warned us about the wingnuts so that is important to keep in mind. >> as you say in the book john my country right or has been replaced by mike party. >> that is right. we have had a total flip in this country. one of the telltale signs of the wing that is they confuse patriotism with partisanship and the idea that my party is in danger of replacing right or wrong. you cannot respect the country and demonize the president. there is an old idea in this co
