that's a good way to look at it. >> host: ambrose madison, james madison's father. wasn't there some questions about his death, whether he had been put to death by slaves? >> guest: it probably was. the family never wrote about it. ambrose was the first madison to have slaves. as long as they were indentured servants coming over from england, nobody thought about having slaves or wasn't an thing. when indentured servants began to dry up, slave ships began plying the rivers off the chesapeake day and ambrose is recorded to have gotten slaves and then there were more and he died in his 30s and it was sad that he died of poisoning. it was not unusual. you've taken three human beings, transported them an awful conditions across the atlantic, brought them into a place what they don't want to do the work you want them to do and their first in various ways and poisoning your master is wrong of course but it's not surprising. >> host: paul, fort lauderdale, florida, e-mail. do you think there'll be a renaissance of history in american schools. there's a lack of interest amon

host: ambrose madison, james madison father, correct? wasn't there some questions about his death, whether he had been put to death by slaves. guest: i think he probably was. the family never wrote about it. ambrose was the first madison to have slaves. as long as there were indentured servants coming over from england nobody thought about having slaves or it wasn't an important thing. when the supply of servants dried up, slave ships began going up the river on the chesapeake bay. ambrose's record it's about two slaves and then there're more. and more. and then he died in his 30s. it was said that he died of a slave poisoning him. it was not unusual. when you take free human beings, transport them in awful conditions across the atlantic, brought them into a place where they don't want to do the work that you want them to do. so they're forced into being a slave even through whipping, so a extreme response like poisoning your master is wrong of course, but it is not surprising. host: paul, fort lauderdale for florida emails. do you think

could you give us some background on how george washington and james madison's relationship of all -- were -- lved?ionship evo this became close during time. madison became almost like a son to washington. madison was a member of congress at the end. washington was often the military -- off in the military. he began to trust madison who was not married in his mid-30's. if there was ever a policy wonk, it was james madison. they called him in -- they would call him a nerd today. he loved the details. he became convinced in congress that this, the articles of confederation were an utter failure. with majorityed faction. he became convinced that these states were petty, basic tyrannies and that they were taking away individual liberties and the property rights of the minorities. andum, it was religious summit was the creditors taking over. he saw the whole country being pulled apart and so he deeply believed -- he began to think about this i believe that there should be a separation of power within the government. his fundamental libertarian rationale for the constitution was that if you

neither james madison nor villanova is on u.n.h.'s schedule this season. a frustrating season for the red sox came to an end in cleveland yesterday, and today the locker room was cleared out. boston lost on sunday, 3-1 in their season fi natural expe ended the year with a record of 78-84. in last place in the american league east. manager john farrell will be back for the 2016 season, which yesterday. the yankees will be without starting pitcher c.c. sabathia for the both season, sabathia is checking himself into an alcohol rehab center. the 2007 cy young award winner said it hurts him deeply to do it now, but he owes it could himself and his family to take control of his disease. sabathia expects to be back with the yankees for training camp next season. so here are your wild card matchups on tuesday night, the yankees at hope against the houston astros at 8:00. the division winners in the american league were the blue jays, royals and rangers. and the national league, cubs at the pirates on wednesday night at 8:00. mets, cardinals and dodgers were the di

they work for james madison. he puts them on as witnesses and they are reluctant to testify. they object and think that they should not have to testify about the inner workings of the executive branch with john marshall making very careful rulings about them testifying but not getting into internal delivery. there is a trial going on in the supreme court and there is an unusual fact of the trial, the defendant, madison, jefferson, they refuse to participate in it and show total disdain. the attorney general is in the courtroom. when he is called upon by john marshall, he refuses to participate as a lawyer at all. they are not going to dignify it. as the trial proceeds, they eventually call him as a witness to testify about whether he knows what happens to the commissions and he strenuously objects on various grounds to testifying and john marshall makes a series of very careful rulings that are different from what you would see in the supreme court. >> the cases in public. the most important witness in the case is marshall. from a certain point of view, do not do this at home

ury suited james madison -- sued james madison for compelling of the delivery of the appointment. that is what came to the supreme court. he decided it in an interesting way that has had ramifications all through the last 200-plus years. they determined he was entitled to the appointment. that madison had an obligation to deliver it. but then he decided that the supreme court did not have jurisdiction over the case had -- the congress suit was based upon original jurisdiction, and congress had given them no authority to decide. so it is an interesting decision. in the small perspective, it limited the court's power. they essentially said, you are entitled to this, but we are the ones -- not the ones to get it to you. many people have taken that as a key case for the u.s. supreme court being able to decide the ultimate constitutionality of any issue that comes before the court. i would argue that is not the case. i think that decision was based upon the supreme court weremining what the powers the congress had under the constitution and what the court had under the constitution in

jeff: let me just say i'm a fan of james madison. he's my favorite president, the father of the constitution. he did want a deliberative process, but i also teach a class at uni in the public policy department periodically and i tell my students that that process is not burger king and it is not ups. you rarely get it your way and you never get it in 24 hours, but that's been taken too far almost. the gridlock and the grievances that have bound up congress essentially means even the romantic view of a deliberative process has been corrupted where they're having a difficult time even doing the basics. passing a budget, holding regular committee hearings, following a calendar that's been long accepted for their decision process. we are in historic times in terms of the low expectations of congress. you can measure it a number of different ways. no labels about five years ago set out to help improve the institution, the decision making process. i agree with donna, there are some things in the campaign process that have caused problems i

remember, we talked about james madison who said "you know, the federal government has few hours that are significantly defined. the states -- numerous and indefinite." let's look at the comparison of the budgets. how you spend your money demonstrates the priority of what you think is important. i have done the math with the help of the office of management and budget and the nga, here, this stunning fact -- if you combine all the budgets of all the states in the aggregate, we're spending today, a collective amount to run our trillion dollars. a fairly large number -- $1.7 trillion in all 50 states. as you know, the budget proposal being considered before the congress today is $3.99 trillion, almost $4 trillion, so more than double, plus an billion is being spent in washington, d.c., as opposed to the combined spending of the 50 states. unless we have some double accounting, we find that the federal taxes that we extract from the states and our citizens that come here to washington, d c, and are redirected back to the states for shared responsibility in additional federal programs, is

he had grown up knowing thomas jefferson and james madison and many of the founders.e thought this was his calling to attempt to save the nation if there was still time. he suggested to the virginia legislature -- well, he had preferred just the border states, but the virginia legislature invited all the remaining states of the union to come together for this confab in washington dc starting on february 4 to try to avert the crumbling of the nation and the strong possibility of civil war. -- sents centered their delegations here. the west coasts did not have time. neither did arkansas. you know arkansas. [laughter] the upper midwest, so republican, michigan, wisconsin, minnesota, said they wanted nothing to do with a john tyler democratic project. there were 121 delegates on paper were here starting on february 4. ,f you think back to that day, the thermostat was just above freezing. two inches of snow on the street of washington. i imagine that washington could not handle snow back and any better than they can today. [laughter] there is the home of lights overhead an

he compared himself to james madison, keeping notes that the constitutional convention. in their mind, the gathering was almost like the constitutional convention. henry clay's son was here as a delegate, from kentucky, of course, and also a senator named william reeves from virginia. a former congress and, senator, and he was in france during the revolution. he became friends of the king him and queen and king became the godfather -- queen became the godmother of the newborn child. a refined gentleman of virginia, from piedmont. i met his great-grandson today. he gave a talk about his ancestor, which was excellent. interestingly, reeves had sold 114 of his slaves to james set in -- sutton, his fellow delegate. this is what the convention is all about, the issue of slavery. there are other characters at the convention that are playing their part. president buchanan at the white house desperately wants the convention to succeed. him he is described as hugging delegates and cheerful and pleading with them that the country is depending on you. he has been ineffectual during

host: we know what happened to james madison's political career? what about john marbury? >> we always get asked that. [laughter] if marbury continued to be active in very business affairs in washington d.c. over the next 30 years or so. he had his hands in a lot of different business ventures. a bank, a place that imported suits from england. in house that marbury lived during this time stands in georgetown. it is actually the embassy of ukraine today. you can see it there. it was basically more very's command post -- basically marbury 11 more to follow, gentlemen, with much more discussion about the supreme court. thank you for being with us. we appreciate it. thank you to our viewers. your questions always make things more interesting. we hope you will be us throughout the series.

and james madison. and we pulled them later in to a book.d these newspaper op-eds tried to he persuade americans, during the year as the proposal was pending before the country, they try to persuade people to vote for the constitution and later on, john marshall among others would say, it's a very good statements of what the supports of the constitution thought it would be all about and it's a good resource. because the people had access to it, it's not a secret document. ordinary people had access to this when they were asked to vote yes or no on the document. the federalists, 78, there are about 85 essays in all was written by alexander hamilton, and it's a defense of judicial review. it's the ability for any court, lower federal court, state court, to disregard a law, sta8o law or an act of congress, if the judges view that law isud+v inconsistent with the constitution. hamilton said yes it in the constitution and it's a reason to vote for it. it's a good thing. critics had said dr. the ratification process, it's in the constitution and i

a few by james madison, and even a few by john j. the significant about this particular book is this was one of thomas jefferson's three copies that were sent to him while he was in paris. so it has a unique inscription, the first one reads for the hon. mr. jefferson from his obedient servant john j. the next, dougal stewart the president for mr. stewart, so thomas jefferson gave his copy to dougal's door and mr. stewart writes, i was told by mr. jefferson that the greater part of the papers in this collection were written by mr. madison. i think people are fascinated by this book because of the ownership, because of the prominence, the fact that it was john jay's copy than it was passed to this goddess philosopher while jefferson is abroad in paris. the interesting thing that dougal stewart wrote this piece about mr. madison be in the majority author of the paper when we know it isn't true. we often speculated may be jefferson said that but he didn't want it to be written down. then i think it is extremely significant that jefferson

if you know history, you know that james madison, he was the father of the constitution. it was actually hamilton who wrote the letter, because at that meeting they said, these articles of confederation are not working, so let's have a meeting and we will call all the oftes to revise the articles confederation, get something better so we will not be invaded again, we do not start fighting with one another. hamilton wrote the letter and madison was the chief organizer who went to george washington and said, you need to be there. get out of retirement. and they met at the constitutional convention in philadelphia in 1787 to figure out, isn't there some way that neighboring states cannot fight with each other? whether you are trying to reconcile with a fundamental conundrum of human government. that is, how can you reconcile the idea that all states, all countries, can do what they want , they are perfectly sovereign, with the idea that they needed someone to tell them what to do? how can you be master of your own destiny and have someone tell you what to do? that is what th

whatever james madison envisioned when he was talking about few and defined compared to numerous and indefinite most people say we have gotten away from that concept. it's more compensated than that i don't want to oversimplify the situation but it does give us an indication of what i would consider this lack of balance of federalism. i'm proud to say we have a lot of success is going on and for the sake of time i won't spend a lot of time. i'm anxious to see what's going to be submitted by the governors has the compiled this book but the truth of the matter is there's a lot of innovation going on in many places in this country. let me mention a few brief ones. we all know the challenge we are having today and the dynamic change in society particularly when it comes to antidiscrimination litigation. that's been an emotionally charged and i'm proud to see utah has taken that issue head-on and us come together to come to a balance point to provide an opportunity for us to protect religious liberty and make sure there's not discrimination in housing and employment and other issues. it h

to me it's fascinating that this is a point that was made particularly by james madison because madison was a great political realist. he was really the architect of our constitution. he understood that everybody had interests, groups had interests, we had to balance interest to have a country that would function, but he also said that no matter how well structured our government is, our political system, the country is not going to succeed. america is not going to succeed without the virtue of its citizen. that is, it has to be more than just self interest. it has to be more than what's in it for me. there has to be a a sense on the part of the citizens that we are here for a purpose beyond just grabbing everything we can for ourselves. that concept of virtue which are first four presidents thought of as a republican quality faded out with them. we didn't hear much more about it or anything like it. the few outcropping were lincoln and most notably john f. kennedy's inaugural speech. he said ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country. then he said in

critic says the reason we have jazz, the reason we have most anything worth while is because of james madisonders. they left us mostly a free people. >> i say mostly free because in the last 200 years america has come a long ways from no plans no problem. fox and friends for more. >> have a great morning. see you tomorrow. >> everybody wave. >> bernie sanders planning to deliver a major speech on socialism within days. a reported $18 trillion in new government programs and now he says one of them will cost everyone. not just the rich. hey everyone. this is bulls and bears and feeling the burn could have your wallet burning. the democratic presidential candidate wants everyone's taxes to go up to pay for family leave but not all americans think it's a good idea. >> paying more for taxes? i think we get taxed high enough now. >> yeah. i'm willing to do it. absolutely. >> i think that it's inevitable that taxes will probably always just go

the american people, they want solutions, free markets, adam smith, they want the constitution, james madison, nothing radical in the pillars what made this country great. charles: then why -- then why is it so hard for your party to find a leader? the speaker of the house, you would think a lot of people step up and want that job. we spent most of the day talking about folks who said count me out. >> no crisis -- the election was called by the speaker prematurely for today. we have until the 29th. entire conference, and can you validate this with anybody out. there the conference was making huge progress and moving toward regular order. giving all legislators the ability to bring bills to the floor. not choosing favorites. letting the chairman of committees work their wills, and answer me this, to the press, who's in charge of the united states budget today? and the press looks stunned. and they don't have an answer to that. it's five people in a back room. i'm on the budget committee, appropriations took it over, that whole process should have been done in april or may. and that's all this

dolly and james madison had a great relationship, they are together all the time. and because of the paradox of proximity, because abigail and john are apart, we know the most about them when they are apart. and they leave a record that is really unprecedented. i have made the case and will repeated here that this is the most fully revealed marriage and partnership between prominent american figures in all of american history. and we can contest that and come up with other examples, but i still would defend that just for the purposes of argument and our discussion today. ok, here is where we are going. we are going to look at the adams and their careers in 1765-1775. all of you have seen this and perhaps taught it, remember it is in every women's anthology in history. and we have a few new things to say about it. we would take a very intense look at the summer of 1776, lots of things are happening at the same time. both politically and -- they are writing the declaration -- the british fleet is arriving on long island with soldiers to destroy the continental army.

critic says the reason we have jazz, the reason we have most anything worth while is because of james madisonm providers. they left us mostly a free people. >> i say mostly free because in the last 200 years america has come a long ways from no plans no problem. to see you, sam, dom, thanks for being with us, have a great weekend, good night from new york. john: we need to build a wall. i also believe we need a fence. but what good will that do? >> even here they could swim right around us, they could walk around us now. >> they do, even when there is fencing. >> people get around it, they bring ladders like this one lying right next to the fence. john: suddenly europe has big border problems, too. what can they do about this? what can america do to have locks on our borders, that's our show tonight.

thomas jefferson, james madison, and james monro. the idea of what constitutes successful second terms is important for any second term president, any president to his lucky enough to win the second term, to act as a roadmap as to how to achieve a successful second term. my editor at the american history magazine started off by deciding what president or presidents should feature in this story. democrats and republicans alike, we immediately ruled out fdr and ronald reagan, fdr because he had the disastrous court backing in his second term, and toward the end of his second term he had the roosevelt recession. in fact, his presidency had -- if his presidency had ended after two terms, he might have gone down in history as the president to failed to end the great depression. and ronald reagan in his second term had the iran contra scandal. scandals become common in second terms, richard nixon had watergate, clinton had monica lewinsky and impeachment. at eisenhowerlook and roosevelt. they beat the second term blues. look at eisenhower'

brian: you also praised thomas jefferson and james madison and george washington for going back home after they were in office. and not passing it on to the next generation. none of them had a next generation to pass it on to. gary: that was their misfortune. brian: when did that start? gary: probably with the adams family. there have been great families that have made great contributions to this country. i am not against legacies, involved in public life. i do think we have to have more than two family for the presidency, and we will see if that is how the 2016 campaign shapes up. part of the networking and the rolodex empire in question is about relationships and, i would not say deals as such, but shared interest, shared special interest, narrow interests, personal interest, and, to me, that is not healthy for the country. again, i go back to the 1970's, it was not considered healthy by the people i served with in those days. i trace this serious transformation to the last 30 years. i know you asked why and i am still puzzled as to how all of this happened. i think money. brian: y
