but he but he he evolved as we would say today and he never he actually and he never he never he never evolved to the point where he wanted social equality with blacks and whites, but he but he wanted fairness. he wanted fairness between black and he wanted he wanted he wanted a fairness the law. he was deeply moved by the by the brutality by the lynchings in the south and by and and by a particular case where a gi coming back from the war was blinded intentionally blinded by a sheriff in south carolina, and that that got to him so and and so by 1947 despite the spice that complaints actually of one of his sisters who said who said harry will never do this sort of thing. he actually came out very strongly for some for what was then a real a real change in in civil rights? he's interstate people. state travel and and he and he actually appeared on the stage with owner roosevelt walter white the head of the double and naacp and hugo black and and this was a real step forward for him and then he actually commissioned a panel on civil rights. and so it was it was something for someone his

so here he is. he's he's dressing in the french manor. he discovered paris. he found so much to love there. he fell in love with the the art galleries and the intellectual salons and the music and just all the culture that paris had to offer and he really kind of came back in a way. i think he he not only got a new lease on life so to speak but he wound up learning so much when he was in europe, and it was learning about different topics that he could then contrast with what was going on in america and and come back to america with new ideas. so he wound up taking several trips across europe from paris. he was state. he was there he spent five years as the ambassador and he took three great trips away from the capitol where he really got to explore. so one was to the south of france and italy one was to england and one was to the netherlands and germany. and he learned about a lot of different subjects. he kind of refined his political ideals and i think my theory is it was really this time in france that kind of put him back on track to to rise through the p

he thought he was a little more fluent than he was. he loved languages and he loved french, he had a real problem speaking french with conversational french when he got there. he read it fluently but he had trouble making himself be understood, so he sometimes would use an interpreter or a translator for has written documents. but, still he worked very well in french, he knew latin and greet. he wrote that he taught himself spanish by reading don quixote on the ocean, on the ship right over. i don't know if you can completely learn spanish from that book, but it's a great start. he actually prized spanish, he would tell young americans that has him for advice he had point them in the direction of spanish, nine others would be an important language for our country. so, he did pretty well overall, getting around. i think when you got in trouble was when he went to germany and all of a sudden he did know germany, he was at a loss. he tried all these languages that i mentioned, including latin. he would speak to people in latin, trying des

when he was 18, he went off to harvard. where he studied for four years this was before there were majors anything like that. he just took classes that he wanted to basically took a lot in history took a lot in natural philosophy and in science. and he married a local girl from boston alice lee. we're to say about her in a second. so it's a little bit of the background to who he would become later on as an adult. then take a few minutes to explain how roosevelt came to prominence before he became president. his first kind of career was as a new york assembly man. so think of the state house of representatives. that's what we're talking about for, new york. we've been reading the novel in his steps written in 1896 and trying to understand the word of the gilded age and progressive era through it. remember the characters of pastor henry maxwell and of the president of lincoln college in that novel and how they were very aversed to politics how they thought of politics is low and dirty and was a great struggle for them to get

he had given up tobacco, but he thinks maybe he could make some money from that and he instructs both of those in the two overseers who are involved in because they had been involved with genome before it's not terribly successful as an experiment more because of disruption of tobacco park that's then then the work of it's a christian here were black laborers washington's only slaves. there's no one enslaved in mount vernon who is not black but when is important is to recognize that washington's ever entirely dependent on slave labor. he threw out his life hires of a number of white skilled craftsman, usually and also indentured sir. see is purchasing in the time and service of indentured servants throughout his time as a farmer. what's interesting. is that after 1785 he requires most of those in dentures have been as part of their contract with him to also train enslaved laborers in in their crafting or ditchers who are the people who drain the fields and maintain the boundaries of the plantation. page that's all the questions that we have here. and if there aren't any others, i just

how did he die? ryan: he was on the west coast. he went to alaska.arding was the first president to visit alaska, nailed in a ceremonial final spike to the alaska railroad. was coming back down the west coast, got to seattle, gave a speech. was having trouble getting through his speech. he was becoming ill. one of his doctors said he had possibly ingested some bad seafood, stomach ailment. he had some other speeches , they cancel those. the train went on to san francisco and they brought in another doctor who was a heart specialist, he said this wasn't a stomach issue, he had a mild heart attack. they put him in a hotel room so he could rest and recuperate, and he had a stroke on august the second 1923. his wife was reading the newspaper to him and he died suddenly of a stroke. susan: if warren harding were to stand before either of us today, describe what we would see. ryan: harding was a humble man. he was a kind man. i think most people would like warren harding. the stories i put in the book, again, kind, benevolent, generous, humble. even when h

>> he did. we think that he is so far ahead of its time. he was very much of his time. as a schoolchild, i thought of slavery as something that happened on southern plantations. but you find that it was rampant everywhere. enslaved people work as servants, they call his enslaved workers servants. they worked in delivery and stables. they called -- he called his enslaved people servants. his family intermittently owned at least 6 over the years. there are letters were franklin said i do not like the practice or i have a problem with this, he still never freed one of the people he purchased in his lifetime. they ran away, un-pursued by him. one of the reasons he became wealthy is because he helped people in bondage that did free labor for him. >> you say over his lifetime he became an abolitionist vocally. >> he did. -- he want his name to the cause later on in life. this could be because of his abolitionist friends in london or philadelphia. it could be his wife deborah telling him he should back the education movement or schools of african descent, or freed black people

he sort of he's he's spoken out. he's pushing for negotiations, but he's careful not to take the attention off of the issue of racial equality and the problems the many problems they're facing but in this hearing he observed that the johnson administration spent liberally on a war in vietnam where american security was not at stake. and he questioned the wisdom of a conflict justified by vague commitments to a reactionary regime. and this is a famous quote from king the bombs of vietnam exploded home destroying the hopes and possibilities of decent americans. meanwhile, he said the war on poverty. with scarcely a skirmish at no time has a total court total coordinated and fully adequate program been conceived. kennedy asking and is an interesting back and forth between the two of them, but he asked him what he thought. the extent of poverty and alienation was understood outside of ghetto areas to what extent that people really understand that. not at all sid king. the problem as you know, he told kennedy is that ghet

every time he walked into a room he was brave because he didn't want to be there. he was shy and had to muster the courage. a more recent figure, john kerry, not somebody who loves crowds. i could see him mustering the courage to go out there and i admired him. one thing you get at and talk to us about is this interesting, you could be a guy who projects confidence like washington, but be insecure. those things are not a contradiction. talks was a little bit about washington's mix of insecurity and great security. >> guest: he spent eight years as commander in chief of the continental army. those eight years were the best training anyone could have including putting a good face on a disaster. washington did not win the war, he survived it as did the united states. this was -- anyone who thinks this was fated that we would throw off the chains of british tear any, that is baloney. he knew better than anyone it could have been lost countless times and yet he also knew that everyone not only in his army but throughout the nation looked to him as the symbolic presence.

he looked at me and he said kim. he's your height five ten. he said but he's thinner by 20 pounds. well at that time, i weighed 170 so put them at 150, which was my football playing weight up here at hammond high school. he said but everything hitler had was in his eyes. he said once his eyes locked on you he had you. he had that. mesmerization ability he could he could almost cast a spell on you and hold you. with his eyes this goes to abraham lincoln. in that lincoln said you can fool all of the people some of the time. and some of the people all of the time but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time. hitler took in rummel on a personality level initially. but rummel eventually came to see the light. of the evil and the corruption in the nazi regime yes, sir. hi, this is this is not not a patent rommel question, but rather a question about historians in the military, and i'm wondering you mentioned that there was a historian assigned in europe in world war two. i was just wondering if you could sort of comment in terms of what what sort of what would their role be and

he was a bass baritone and he had a very good voice. to new york to seek his career as a lawyer and through much of his time he sang in the jewish synagogue to sing to have enough money to pay his rent. originally he was very much teddy roosevelt oriented and teddy roosevelt had fueled much of the progressive wing of the party. the guy who seem to emerge as the heartthrob of this liberal wing of the party was someone named herbert clarke hoover. all these young guys like herbert rondell came to new york together mostly from the midwest and started their careers together. in the 1920s herbert hoover was deep into activism and dewey picked up that torch and do we and his classmates his friends became the standard bearers of the more moderate wing of the republican party and tom dewey was elected three times as the governor of new york and it was incredibly difficult to manage but he became the focal point and he managed to organized a well disciplined party which was ideologically practical. they were well oriented toward labor so it was

why did he do what he did, why was he the man he was?s general answer in 1861 that big decision about refusing command of the federal forces was that he was in virginia and when virginia was different, he was obliged to follow virginia into the confederacy. one was he? hello robert e lee was born onto northern neck of virginia in 1807, he had grown up in alexandria, which was then part of the district of columbia. alexandria and northern virginia would only be retro seated in virginia in the 1830s long after left. most of his life thereafter they lived in other places. in georgia, st. louis, baltimore and new york city as an engineer. his father had been politically a federalist. though married into one of the foremost families of virginia, the cost of arlington, arlington overlooked facing the national capitol, not virginia. his in-laws allies the nation first of state loyalty "afterwards". we could not more in 18612 factors. first, harry lee for all of his revolutionary fame had been our clock husband and father and left family when ro

he hibernates and then he reawakens. he is like a phoenix. and in 177040 has been with the continental congress which involves joining against princeton, and the eventually it is a single that federalist argument for the constitution. we have to hang together, otherwise britain is going to cut us to pieces. it is a geostrategic argument and, my god, franklin is seeing a version of that, a more british version of that, as early his earliest 1754 he puts it in the double picture that ordinary people can understand, and three simple words that make a powerful and political argument. join or die. he is imagining -- it's just how many characters. it's instagram, it is amazing. it is snapchat. >> he could've said could have said a lot more, but he's smart enough to stop his ahead. obviously we want to get back to george washington. and i think this is one of the most striking point that you have made, which is the american constitutional development of conversation is not just entirely within our own forces, it's also the impact, over and over agai

he said, he went to abbott's field and he said to his father, he said that your famous. please get jackie robinson's autograph for me. and he said, no son, this would embarrass jackie. and so robeson showed restraint. so there was a mutual admiration between these two giants of the african american world. and perhaps that's too insular a description. both of them were people, humans who bestowed the world like great colossi. they were giants in their own way. unfortunately, the cold war was really heating up at that time. and so robinson, who was the first african american to win the mvp that year. was also used as a stooge of branch rickey and the cold warriors to be their champion. >> let's do this. like you said, to his credit, at the end of his life, he set the record straight. let's look at this last slide because we got, we don't want -- this is the funeral program for jackie robinson. 1972. 1972, riverside church, new york city. and if you look at the pall bearers. jesse jackson did the eulogy, roberta flack. if you look at the active pallbearers. bill russell, ma

ever knew kicked him out, he is on his own he has to go wherever he has a p fellowship holy cross massachusetts and there he continues to be radical he helped spread the black student union, engages in a walkout, you remember this . . . i do in the next is coming back to his grandfather's values and that reaches one of the key moments with the anti-war demonstration in massachusetts and araya and f in the riot and, to get pleasure from of a stratified anticounterfeiting mob mentality for his become and even though when he gets back to the holy cross in the middle of the night he kneels in front of the chapel and says if god will take anger out of my heart i will change that's the beginning of the coming back, his grandfather and his eyes sees him. that plays out over at yale law school in years working for attorney general and misery finally he ends up voting for and workingn for reagan and that's his journey back. if we tell that story it's a complicated story in the book and in the film but once you become a public conservative black man whose attack byhe the media and he has his battles with

he will go back to washington if he turns right. he will go to richmond. and he gets to that moment. i don't know if he paused or not, but he turned right. and an illustrator was there who caught this in the men through their hats in the air and it was a singing army, aren't we glad to get out of the wilderness? and that was the moment. i believe that grant was given command not by lincoln, but by the men of his army. that's a wonderful story. yeah. and of course not long after that he writes his situation report sit rep back to president lincoln. yes, and has the famous words. we will there will be oh and before that henry wing the young 24 year old says goes over to lincoln somebody to offer a thousand dollars who will get through to lincoln henry winks his i'll try goes over to grandy's. do you have any word for president lincoln and he said simply say this there will be no turning back. that's a that's ulysses s grant. that's the way you presented lucia. that's great. there will be no turning back. and he then writes to lincoln himself. and says i inte

what did he see or what didn't he see? olivier: jennifer translated all of the algerian text, and he actually saw quite a bit of it. he made two trips to the area, one which he was sick most of the time, so that limited his ability to take notes. we have very few notes of his first trip. he spoke to mostly people in the french army to get a sense of what was and was not achievable. in the second trip, he went to see villages. but again, he was mostly interested in villages of french settlements, so he never studied the life of the local populations. he had few encounters with them. a few, but not many. he spent a great deal of time trying to figure out whether colonization was possible and what were the possible conditions. >> thank you. we could go on for much longer. there is a lot in the book that we have only scratched the surface of. i will underscore something christie said. this is a very readable book, and it is one that i think we'll both inform and entertain those who pick it up. but i want to thank those in our

and so he he lost.i don't think that gerald ford suffered quite to degree, but he he did have and some of them you could analogize hoover's. well, that's all the time we have for questions right now. so thank so much for joining us today. we thank you all for coming. thank you. before we wrap up, i want to just highlight three upcoming events in august. have our next installment of the acting lectures with dr. caleb fuller on his most recent book. and then in september, we'll have greer from hope international, talking about the gift of disillusionment. another talk on leadership. and then we also have a free and virtual society conference in new york city clergy and, other nonprofit leaders. so thank you so much for joining us today. and let's give a round of applause to dr. nash. thank youto. good evening, everyone, and welcome to politics and prose. i'm brad graham, the co-owner of the bookstore along with my wife, lissa muscatine. and we have a especially timely program for you this evening featurin

he is created in which he can't lose. now donald trump just wishes he were that successful, donald trump was not as disciplined in his 1st term to change all the election laws . but now what you see is the republican party actually going about changing all the election rules. so that the next time there's a presidential election, the republicans can't lose and that's why i'm afraid they might have invited victor or been because 6 to oregon can show them exactly how that kind of thing works. because it's not just, it's not just that it's not just that the, the changing, the, the rules he, he seems to st. ride loads of different horses and loads of different directions at the same time. how does he get away with denouncing the european union values around immigration and gay people, while accepting that grants and subsidies he demonizes jewish liberal benefactor? did george soros with anti semitic good dog whistles at home, while forging a close relationship with benjamin netanyahu? i get, i guess they, they want to know ho

what does he care, whether he's his party is investigating, he's made well, i think, yeah. you know, he's facing a lot of pressure in the media here in germany as well. people saying he's pollutants pop it and so i think there are signs that he does react to pressure. he has, after all relinquished his role at roles next. and he also not accepted a proposed job on the board of, of gas prom. but as you say, his political career is over, so patsy's political roots are less important to him now than some of his business or other connections political correspondence. i'm a young thank you. one of the biggest gatherings of conservative activists in the united states is underway in dallas, texas, speakers that this year's conservative political action conference, or c pac include former president, donald trump and texas governor greg abbott. but it's also rolled out the red carpet for a foreign guest, and gary and prime minister victor all been as enacted hard line policies against immigration and l. g. b t. u writes at home and has consolidated power through his conscious judici

he pretends he's not at fault but he is. madison is more openly political. an amazing political partnership and they create a dominant political machine that will d basically federalist -- champions free speech, really important. john adams doesn't get free speech. thomas jefferson gets a. his partner madison gets it even more and they champion freedom of speech against this john adams informed a political party that will be the dominant political party all the way to abe blinken to you and i and people who are political have to respect that. he creates a newspaper empire, affiliated newspapers is a poor his way of thinking about the world he secretly funds. he creates fox news network in a way, so he understands the democratic newspaper culture of america, he's always telling madison don'tt write off as against hamilton's for them to shreds. he's to good a newspaper scribbler. he got go after them so there's a reason he's on mount rushmore now. i criticized him because something that's really important to me, the slavery issue, he gets worse over time. he f

as professional as he became, as cosmopolitan as he became, he always had the idea that he would return to that. so, responsibility. there were a spot -- the important influence on the mother. that has been characteristics for presidents. down the mind, obama, in search of my father, his mother is a social worker, in -- and so forth. the looming question is, what will be the pattern for our first female president. we will have a female president soon. how will that dynamic change? i would say, the pattern of early responsibility and idealism is so pronounced that i would say it is a pattern. dwight eisenhower would part of that. he was a great deal more, but we don't know a lot about him. so we have to guess. what came out of abilene in the form of him and others was something very extraordinary. the monument in washington, the eisenhower monument in washington captures a portion of that. there is a miniature, smaller statue that resembles the one in abilene. i think it is testimony to how important his roots were. i was told at the height of the controversy for this thing, after the gr

and then he was he was he was outed to the civil service where he then had been had been hired. because he couldn't teach at georgetown anymore, but they didn't know the civil service did not know this happened until sometime later when they called him in and said what happened in san francisco. and he refused to answer refused to answer, but then he just he just told him it was none of their business. and they fired him. and then he on a diet of 20 cents a day. i mean a an allowance of 20 cents a day because he had no money. he sold his car to get that. he began papering washington with with this story. and and complaining about the legal and moral. i don't know insult that this represented not only to him but to other gay men. who at the time we're still being fired at a very fast rate because now mccarthy was really in his. it is high moment. so he graduated then to being perhaps the most successful advocate for sexual the lack of the the absence of sexual discrimination and and he including a an appeal to supreme court on behalf of a guy named bruce scott. that was not succe

he's a boy scout. he's a sunday school teacher. he is that that kind of all american boy now all of that was true. he was actually a scout. he was actually a sunday school teacher he was as all american as as they got and at the same time it seemed to me that glenn never would have been able to achieve what he achieved there wasn't something more to the picture and so wonderfully for the historian you mentioned the archives the glen archives at ohio state glenn saved everything. i mean he saved his the papers that he wrote as a kid. he saved all of his high school papers. he saved all the ephemera that any historian ever want to get their hands on and and you can begin to sort of draw out a sense of john glenn both in his youth in particularly after as you his his diaries during world war ii his letters home from from the korean war and you get a sense of a more restless more ambitious more competitive john glenn than you would ever see in any of the kind of pop cultural portrayals, and it's not an altogether different john glenn,

he was the rock that i had. he was calm, he was patient.ays considered him about as close as a hero as a girl could get. >> the strong, silent hero. who preferred long, solitary walks in the woods to social gatherings. except for poker. there was usually a game in town. the family could certainly use the cash, and he figured that he was pretty good. >> he prided himself on being able to read people. and knowing when to hold them, when to fold them. and i guess he sort of could because he was winning quite a bit. >> wendy, an olive teacher by trade, taught her kids to help others. to speak up and be heard. like her. >> well, i think you're a little bit too domineering right now. maybe tomorrow we'll talk about that. >> in this video, she organized a peace project that taught students, including her own son. about conflict revolution. >> that's just the ideal, what's he tried to do in her real life. >> you are closer? mother >> very. >> very tight relationship? >> she was incredibly nurturing. and i think she was succeeding in raising a good

that he dreamed he could. what mister tell would, that's it, that's a good point. you make gorbachev. he set into motion forces that he would later not be able to steer or control at all. i mean, we, after remember he was a communist leader. he wanted reform, but there was no guide book for him to turn a command economy into something that resembled a market economy. i'm wondering if, if you think, did he push forward with these reforms somewhat blindly and with a considerable degree of naivete. well, i would say yes, he was naive and even utopian and of sense that he tried to do what turned out to be impossible. you can make a pretty good case that his whole project was doomed from the start by russia. what it was by its own history, by the forces who remained from the soviet totalitarianism, who were allied, arrayed against him up. but nonetheless, he tried. and in that sense, you know, one has to respect him, admire him, and almost wish for more leaders in other countries who would dare to try. and professo

he was always there, he was there, he was there, he was a soldier, he was there with his friends. hechieved the fact that our unit was the best among equals but yes, we were given the most difficult tasks and the most responsibility because they put more on us because we were able to fulfill the dream of going abroad. he said that five years from mom's service, i'll take a vacation, i'll take a vacation together , vacation, i don't have one. i've never been a bastard. i never say that i've become like that. i've never rested at sea. i was impressed at this moment, but this is the explanation. the man has been in the military since he was 15 years old. he had no desire to rest. he had a desire to win, he would never leave when he came at night, he came and knocked on the door. his plan was an apartment, a family and a girl in the city, the boy wanted a girl, i always told them to alice, let it be alice, and here is a rumor so that the rumor doesn't come true, a penny, tell me about vika, the girl, him, they met on the internet, mom writes there he is sending me a photo. mom, you like

he had plenty of money, and he says in his confirmation. i'm semi- retarded just want to spend time with my grandchildren. i think three reasons, one is our, the mounted been out of the public eye and not a political powerful man for 25 years. there's nothing wrong with that and try to get promoted and did as a prosecutor so good. i don't have a problem with that in the second, the let's not this not be misled by his sort of need this stuff, the mountaintop power in the audition it and he got it. the second thing is that bill barr is long had an extreme view of the law and unitary executive meaning the present sort of inner political system but bill barr push that so far to the point that he lost hustling the course because he is constantly arguing but he often succeeds in protecting trump by just going to court and dragging these things out to the sort of until he would then the third thing was sort of an moment that we had in researching this book, bill barr is what i call a culture warrior, meaning is not just a deeply religious person,

once he tore up the score of the operas he had begun when he found out that a friend was writing hisersion on the same theme, the eldest completed the work, the grandson often performed aslanbek's aria. one day straight to the whole of baku at the final exams at the conservatory. muslim graduated on the occasion, having already become famous throughout the soviet union, the entire course was completed in a year. the graduation concert was free on the bike in the hall and under the windows, he drank and the work of grandfather and european classics and, of course, a bunch of figs syrian barber. the most famous aria from the most famous opera in russia was probably the main part in the fifty-year career of magomayev's career and it began once muslim was asked to play, he sat down at the instrument and the listeners were amazed, because no one knew that he sings the boy was taught to be a pianist, no vocals and there was no speech. prohibitions in general infuriated muslim all his life. one match was enough for one record to improve the sound of music school piano student muslim magomay

he cooked on the weekends. that is why he was so cranky, he never slept. not just a after a day or week, year after year. you do that and you walk into a house with great rambunctious boys, what kind of mood are you going to be in? he is getting bigger and bigger and i am getting smaller and smaller. i am crying. at the end of the eight hours, i sit please forgive me for judging you so harshly. he says you are a kid and you did not know. hard work wins. you get out of life what you put into it. you cannot control the outcome, but you are in control of the effort. what could i have done to change the outcome. no matter how hard you work, i think is going to happen, -- bad things are going to happen. we had a wonderful relationship and that is what the book is all about. >> this is a tough book to read. >> this is a tough write. it was cathartic. while i was writing it, but i was alive. why did you do this, he was asking why i was writing about his life. as soon as the book was over and my dad died. by a lot, tough, smart, had one year of college. she used t

he went off the record to attack the person he called old man hearst. and he said that her senatorial was perfectly terrible awful and the silliest thing ever written. and he said the hurst deliberately misunderstood. his policy the policy was trying to promote in the speech. he said the policy was to keep the us out of war not to drag the us into war. and privately roosevelt complained to his aides that he needed more support from other public officials. and from the press if he was going to persuade the american people to take more forceful action against aggression abroad. and he told an advisor. it's a terrible thing to look over your shoulder when you're trying to lead and to find no one there. so would my book tries to do is to is to look at that media ecosystem that made it more difficult for roosevelt to lead. the nation to a more assertive anti-fascist foreign policy. and in the book, i look not only at the foremost important american media moguls, but also the two most important press parents in britain. and i explained how in both the united

he didn't want what he had. >> and he wanted to be rid of what he had. >> he did. >> one way or another conner were responsibilities, and he didn't want that. >> he doesn't care about anyone but himself. he can be very smooth, but there's something underneath the surface that is truly evil. >> so, said the prosecutors, scott strangled or suffocated laci on christmas eve early in the morning, or possibly the night before. and then after that, after he had done that -- >> dragged her from the bedroom out to the carport. pickup truck backed into the carpo carport. take her out the side door, wrapped up, most likely, load her into the bed of the truck, drive over to the warehouse, move her to the boat, cover the boat. >> then, after sending an email and putting together a woodworking tool, law enforcement believed, he headed to the bay. but evidence of murder? that was all circumstantial. they had no incriminating dna, minimal forensics, just all those little strands. and in fact, it didn't always go well for the prosecution. as geragos worked to keep them off balance. >> we would try and p

and when he was going up to that in york he said he felt like a prisoner going to jail. and he really meant it. almost half have to do with mount vernon. that was where he wanted to be. he really did. all of the views of the presidency are shaped by it 20th century significance. washington did not regard the presidency as the capstone of his career. when he was she did not have to do. the great thing he did was win the war. i think that is true of all four of the presidents, the first floor. adam's great thing this before the revolution to bring it into meaning. jeffersons was the declaration. madisons was the constitution and the federalist papers. all of them did not think about the presidency is the great moment in their lives. washington was aficionado of residence. even before that and newburgh refusing to become dictator annapolis where the capitol was the surrender of his commission george the third is that it can't be if the depth does that he be the greatest man in the world. well he did and for that moment at least he was. jefferson writes about this right afte

so he, as you said, he lost it. think he was so enthralled with his own success and popularity that he tried to do things that were way off path of what the hearn public wanted. the american public wanted. john, talk a little bit about what the reaction was when he put this forward. even his own party had trouble supporting him in this court-acting scheme. >> yeah. the constitution does not prescribe a -- for the supreme court. it's a creature of statute. and originally the court was six, it went down to five. it oscillate ared around in the 19th century. but since the 1870s we've had a nine-member court. and so it's now about 60 years of the country being used to nine. as if it's etched this marble. in marble. and i think that's a visceral source of the reaction. trying to somehow in one fell swoop potentially grow the court to 15 and, of course, fill it with like-minded new dealers was somehow un-american even though it's not unconstitution a. and it opened up some of the fault lines in the democratic party. there

when he was wounded again, he again refused evacuation.worked side-by-side to organize with the commander, who is here today. major,, where are you? major, thank you for being here. thank you for your service. [applause] pres. biden: it is an honor to have you here. when they finally had to abandon the base, major duffy volunteered to lead the rear squad and cover the retreat. when they were ambushed april 15 and many of the troops scattered, major duffy remained with those who were wounded, rallying them despite being constantly pursued by the viet cong. upon reaching the site, he made sure he was the last to board the helicopter until finally the airship was ready to depart. one of his vietnamese allies was shot in the foot, causing him to fall backwards out of the helicopter. major duffy caught him and dragged him back in on board, saving one more life along the way. major duffy served in the army until 1977, completing three tours in vietnam. numerous special forces and 20 years of faithful service our country, after which he went on t

he saw he was wearing a blue union uniform. he almost always were a private's uniform the only way you knew his rank was the stars on his shoulder. he handed general grant an envelope which was an invitation to the white house that evening to meet president lincoln for the first time. i think that story just captures so much of who grant is we don't 19th century didn't often use the word humility. they used the word self-effacement and grant to me is so compelling by his self affacement. so let me tell two stories. it i think really capture who he is. now if grant was offered the command of the union army by president lincoln. we have to remember that he was not yet offered command by the union soldiers for behind his back. they whispered. you've not met bobby lee. you've not met bobby lee. you've been out in the minor leagues which they in turn be meant shiloh vicksburg, chattanooga. not met bobby lee. four times the union army had entered into virginia four times. it had retreated in disreal disarule. so they were willing to

he still has to come home but if he can't i think he he is content with the lights he's chosen. >> there's a debate in this country about julian assange and snowden and chelsea manning. heroes or villains? >> to me there's no real debate. one of the things i discovered ouin my work as a journalist that i didn't previously know was the true extent to which everything in washington is done behind a veil of secrecy and obviously almost everybodyagrees that some things the government should does should be secret. if there are two moments you have a right to keep that secret and if there is a grand jury investigation dibut by and large in a democracy we ought to know what our government is doing and they ought to know little about what we are doing . so it's become reversed where they know everything about us and we all know almost nothing about what the government is doing because of this wall of secrecy they directed in the name of fighting terrorism and a whole variety of other justifications and people like julian assange and snowden and chelsea manning are devoted to the idea that a democr

not only does he fight but he wins and he is awarded the medal of honor and then as president he negotiates between japan and russia and is awarded a real nobel peace prize. can you imagine any modern-day president receiving both a medal of honor and a nobel peace prize? roosevelt's one of failure, he never ran a business. i was convinced had teddy roosevelt because he succeeded in everything else needed if he had just run a business and i'm not talking about the cattle ranch because that was a fantasy land, that was a playground for him. he had other people run it. lehe didn't need payroll. i am convinced if he had run a business the antitrust activities would have been different. i don't know how but i think they would have been different. the t one of course that he doesn't take on is the media which at the time wasn't that big but over time in our time it's gotten to be monstrous. so the government continues to grow. agencies continue to grow. new agencies such as the fbi and cia were added so by john kennedy's time in office, he's he isconfronting a cia swamp and kennedy's problem, his
