he spoke about henry clay recently. let's listen to speaker john boehner. >> henry clay was the first, what i call, strong speaker of the house -- the real leader of the house. when our country was founded and the congress was put together, the first speakers over the first 20 years or so came out of the english parliament system. they were more of a referee. they did not have any real power. but clay was the first real speaker of the house that had some power. there are a lot of things you can say about the role of the speaker. henry clay was clearly a very strong speaker. if you look at this time between 1820-1860, there was no one person in the united states more responsible for holding our union together man henry clay. >> by the way, that was from an event that was organized where they invited all living speakers to talk about the role of speakers. it was held here. it is in our video library if you like to go back and watch it. quite an interesting event. to both of you, how did henry clay enhance the powers of th

about henry clay today. let's listen to mitch mcconnell , kentucky senior senator, referencing henry clay. >> he served as the speaker of the united states house of representatives, the secretary of state under president john quincy adams, and of course, as one of the quetta senators to ever walk through the capital. it was also honored to receive his party's nomination for president three times. in 1824, 1832, and 1844. the essence of legislating in the senate has 100 viewpoints to create one law, is compromise. henry clay became known as the great compromiser. he forged a compromise that would keep his precious union together. they did not compromise in the sense of forsaking his principles. rather his skill was to bring other disparate ideas and forge a consensus among his colleagues. that is a skill we could certainly use more of now. >> during the great debates we went through this summer on the debt ceiling and the budget, there was so much talk about compromise being a lost art. talk to us about that

patrick henry was joined by -- there we go, by richard henry lee of virginia. richard henry lee favored independence as well in the 1760's. the leader of the radicals was john adams. adams, we can pretty much determined when he became -- began to favor independence. adams was approached by samuel adams back in the 1760's, but he kept samuel adams cousin at arm's length. and when samuel adams tried to get john to speak in public and attack the british, and john adams' response in his diary was, that way madness lies. he thought that samuel adams was plotting an american revolution and wanted no part of its. but in 1773 some letters written by the governor, the royal governor of massachusetts were made public. those letters convinced john adams that there was a conspiracy afoot between british officials in american and british officials in london to destroy american liberties. from 1773 on john adams favored independence. i think probably george washington came around to independence in the 1760's, and i think thomas jefferson came around to independence around t

henry clay wants to go to the ocean. he wants the union to remain intact, but he does not want them to be declared free states because he does not want his south to be marginalized. it is really the last time in history you can straddle that issue, and he paid for it and we paid for it. >> i was thinking about echoes of the future in adelaide stevenson. he was accused of not being tough enough. there were strains of the kennedy administration. but what does that really foreshadow? the future of the democratic party. the idea that we will work with communities, not dictate to communities, that becomes part of the democratic party's dna. of the democratic party's dna. it is a political bio the find expressions in many ways. projecting onto george mcgovern. the idea of america as a republic not an empire. henry clay had a familiar way of seeing familiar facts. you could look at henry clay as someone who failed to achieve his goal and never became president. but on the other hand, to the extent that he contributed -- and he

i'd like to present a gift of $15,000 from the henry mayo newhall foundation in support of camp azure, a summer camp for children on the autism spectrum. every family -- every summer families of children with autism in san francisco face a critical challenge. the well structured environment provided during the academic year has come to an end and the need to maintain and improve upon the skills gained turing the year is crucial. unfortunately the expensive summertime options are despairing. at the same time the need for services is growing as rates of autism increase. in response to this community need, r.p.d. created and incorporated camp azure into its regular camp programming. it is based on the philosophy that all children, regardless of ability, can successfully participate in and benefit from community-based recreation activities if they have the support. the mission of camp azure is meet the individual and diverse needs of children on the autism spectrum so they can enjoy the benefits of a safe, supportive, challenging, and fund day camp experience. in appreciation of this need

we looked at the henry hotel. we got video from december 23. and lo and behold, every word of what our clients were telling us were true. two four two. the videos are just a small sample of what some would say is clearly a culture or pattern. and i do want to say that even in my short tenure as defense attorney, i agree with stuart. there are so many good officers, but there are cultures that develop within certain units. i will put it right out there. many of the complaints we hear it involve plainclothes units, and perhaps there is a culture that develops and allows misconduct to happen and continue to happen. so, the public defender's role is unique and natural and i am confident that had we not been doing our jobs with respect to those brought residents of the henry hotel, those would never have surfaced and perhaps the officers would never have had to answer for that conduct.

let's suppose henry louis gates was short tempered and suppose he wasn't being deferred until towards the officer but even suppose he was being arrogant with respect to a police officer or a crime i don't think so. i hope not and i would also hope the police officers, well trained police officers would be trained to deal with the citizenry and not arrest people simply because the citizen is for the sake of argument being arrogant. in any event, the officer of arrests henry louis gates even though the professor had shown that this was his house. well, this becomes something of the firestorm. there is a press conference. if the president has asked his view of this. the president, barack obama says first of all we don't know all the facts. but he given what i do know, am i going to say this is racial discrimination? no, he does not accuse the police officer of engaging in racial discrimination. what he does say is this appears it was a stupid action insofar as the professor had given proof that this was his house. he said this was stupid. he doesn't say racially discriminatory but that i
