[laughter] and then there was polly the parrot who would swoop through the hallways, swearing and friends, and terrorizing the young madison clan. you could tell that it was this lively, lively country place. and while dolley clearly missed d.c., she had her hands full and took on decorating montpelier. she did have a sad portion of her life. her son is now in his 30's, he never settled in his life. he was called by some the snake in the garden of eden. which is a sad thing to say. he had bouts of drinking and gambling. we know he did help madison because we see his handwriting on some of the transcribed notes. but he did have huge binges. he would disappear and no one would know where he would be for months, oftentimes in debtor's prison. he wrote in his journal, "i could never temper things properly." there is a lot of anxiety around him. james paid a lot of his debt, about $20,000. there was another amount that he pay for that he never told dolley. this added up to more than a milli

trump's positions there is no clarity there but the people around him the secretary of defense james madison and now new secretary of state. are longtime iran of folks and so i see somewhat of a division inside the cabinet i mean this is about more there isn't that one of them getting rid of the deal get into the deal more a little later but it's just pos of this approach that is administration is taking to the region i mean it's trying to contain a wrong influence wholesale. well all american governments have tried to contain iran since one thousand nine hundred seventy nine nothing very much new about that but there are hawks and and moderates within the within the washington establishment and trump really on foreign affairs has been on more on the diffident or moderate side himself but for some reason he has brought iran hawks into his his inner circle and people like james mattis and pompei o. even don't agree with each other for instance mattis has made a press to keep the united states involved in the yemen war according to the new york times according to state department leaks pump a

very negatively of because you know we read their strategic national defense strategy written by james madison the new defense secretary which says that the emphasis will be carried from counterterrorism operations to what he called strategic can petition swith the russia and china i don't know what russian patrols in the north atlantic american side is talking about right now quite efficiently there is an on going military naval exercise in the black sea conducted by the united states it's other nato allies such as spain and even bulgaria with more than two thousand troops present from various countries and they're exercising in about you know if you hundreds of miles from the russian territory so basically the united states and their allies to conduct an official exercises in the black sea in the baltic sea look where the united states is located on where the black seas are catered so russia of course views it as an attempt by the united states to achieve absolute superiority over russia let me remind you that dr cording to that date or still call me stupid for peace research russia spends o

so the fact that it is hard to remember presidents from the 19th century is what james madison and the members of the constitution said that's what they were aiming for. they want those people to be unmemorable because the stars of the show would be members of congress. so i decided to look in on the three most noted members of congress during the first half of the 19th century. my continuing recovery from writing biographies came of that. for a while i had a long-term project of writing the history of the united states through biographies. i eventually wrote six volumes in this connection which -- collection which started with benjamin franklin and ended with ronald reagan. if you read those biographies they link together to give you the history of the united states from that 18th century to the 21st century. i thought it was a pretty good idea. one of the things that i concluded by the time i got to the and was that there are certain stories that are hard to tell. if you are writing about presidents, they are a very convenient character to hold your story on. but there's a lot going

but james madison made an effort to come to virginia and the remains were at the college of virginiain winchester and the faculty supported returning the remains that the students took them and refuse to let them go so he came back handed so that happened even in death contrasting with john brown his body was given to his wife but as cortez proceeded north he said he was followed by thousandss and was considered quite the hero his burial was ceremonial but that was not according to the african-american. >> what about those who escaped gallows? >> and to escape from harpers ferry they determined there was nothing more they could do but they did the harpers ferry and went to the mountains got almost to pennsylvania then at that point they split up eventually he went to his hometown in pennsylvania where he was captured and returned to harpers ferry and eventually executed but anderson managed to make it to i york there was a merchant there named goodrich who actually owned a railroad he managed to get him to where he changed three times and he went to see his father and his father turn

i times she meets congressman james madison, she has had a lot of grief in her life. a young widow and toddler son, not only certain to attract a fair share of interest in philadelphia, and the acquaintance later wrote about her, her smile, her conversation, her manners are so engaging that it is no wonder that such a young widow with her fine blue eyes and large shared animation should be indeed a queen of hearts. so i have got some props next. she is a 26-year-old widow. he is a 43-year-old bachelor. [laughter] >> and i could not help myself. she is voluptuous at five foot eight, he is a slender, depending if you liked him. if you didn't like him, he was 5'2". on the surface they really did not have much in common, but in the years ahead, their marriage is a loving reunion and a political ownership that would never see the likes of. announcer 2: you can watch this and other american history programs on our website where all of our video is archived. that is c-span.org/history. announcer 1: up next on "american history tv," the dedication ceremony for the crew member

a man named edward coles who is the neighbor of thomas jefferson and the personal secretary of james madison. that would be today like, you know, the white house chief of staff. edward coles inherits about 20 slaves when he's a young man. during the war of 1812, as a young man, as madison's personal secretary, he resolves to free his slaves. after the war, he writes a letter to his neighbor, jefferson. and he says, i have always admired you, because you have said that we're all created equal. you have laid out the philosophy of liberty, and i want you to know, i have taken you seriously, and i'm going take my slaves to ohio and free them. and jefferson says -- writes a letter, a fascinating letter, in which he says that i have waited patiently for the children raised -- for the generation raised on the mother's milk of liberty. i mean, you've got to love jefferson's writer. the mother's milk of liberty to take power and do these things. and the first historians to publish this letter published it in 1944 in a small pocket thomas jefferson. letters, papers, essays, et cetera. and they wrote -

this is what james madison said about the separation of powers reflected in these three vesting clauses. i'll put it up for you. ambition to counteract ambition. the accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary in the same hands, is the very definition of tyranny. in modern times, the court has advocated -- abdicated its responsibility for separation of powers and allowed for all manner of experimentation engineered by the congress. the executive does not have lawmaking authority. you saw that in the vesting clauses. certainly not the authority to make large, programmatic law. but in fact, executive departments and agencies formulate policies that have the force of law. put out a regulation. violating that regulation can cause you to be called before them and find. since the 1800s, there has been a trend toward policy being made by these specialized agencies. in the 1970s, the environmental protection agency, and then 10 years ago, the consumer finance protection board. in fact, most of the laws today are made by the executive and not by the congress. the executive

hamilton's vision of the united states i think was more than for instance james madison or john adams. it was rooted in the transformative power of economics and capitalism. >> very helpful. you heard what chase said and talked about the nationalism that was shared with washington. but you also argued hamilton might not have been all that in just in the details of the constitutional structure. >> they talked about an energetic government that readinithink is what you are d describing. the. other people share. it's from the experience of trying to get money for his army from organizations that did not have the power to attack. it is as a binding force of. hamilton is a real visionary. it affected in 1782 before we had even won the war. he is mapping out what the government wouldn't need to look like and what the people of america would need to do in order to have a seat at the table with european powers. that is the overriding goal of and that is wher where i shockey colleagues that he didn't care what the actual frame of the government. madison was obsessed with the frame of the gover

i want to give a shout-out here to james madison.lly is the private architect of the constitution, he wanted to diminish power. people talk about gridlock, think james madison. he designed it to shut down. so somebody like he anticipated somebody like trump. who he would call a tyrant. that trump fits their definition of somebody who arrogantly in his own interest without regard to law. he designed the system. so you have the president stopped by the congress, stopped p by the executive, meant to stop each other. this is madison's design. let's push gridlock into the system. >> it's a perfect time for this week and perfect time to read it again in paper back. it's "the fight for freedom," out in paperback now. thanks for being here. >> can we do a quick royal wrap-up? >> i'm going to be hosting an open house 4:00 a.m. tomorrow morning at my home. you can look it up. just "royal watching." come in your hats, everything. a lot of big, big, big people are going to be there. tea, crumb petpets. >> i think diana ross is going to perform.

james madison held it as an axiom that the executive is the department the department of our most distinguished by its propensity to war. therefore, it's the practice of all states in proportion as they are free to disarm this propensity of itsnfluen. the framers did that by creating the bulk of the constitution military powers to congress, including control of the decision to go to war in the first place. that didn't leave the president totally disarmed. the president retained in this scheme some defensive authority. the power to repel sudden attacks is the way that madisons notes raise it. but absent an imminent threat, absent provocation, the constitution to the president no power to launch sudden attacks. it will not be in the power of a single man to involve us in such distress, pennsylvania's james wilson summed up in 1787, because of the important power of declaring war is vested in the legislature at large. the system will not hurry us into war, he said, and is calculated to guard against it. that was the way was supposed to work. of course it didn't always work that way. well before 9/

james madison says -- >> madison is the toughest guy. there is a new birth -- book on him by a harvard law school guy that talks about the three medicines. the medicine of up till 87, 88 is one guy and then he switches positions. we have argued about whether or not that is a contradiction. of --ne is, in terms medicine is a thinker who is responsible for moving us from the confederation to the constitution. perhaps, more than anybody else. making that happen. he recruits washington. he writes the virginia plan. he oversees the ratification process. has the idean that for the federalist papers. writes 29.1, madison j rights five. they actually play the ratification process. what medicine understands is -- convince thatto nine states will be sufficient. >> where did that come from? >> they know that if it has to be unanimous, little rhode island will never ratified. they didn't even send anybody. rhode island is when you -- where you sent witches and quakers. crazy peach bowl -- crazy people. roads to get from boston to down there. they do

magistrate the fact he calls the president a chief magistrate is a sign the role he gets from james madison and the ministerial office responsible for carrying congress which is the way that it prevailed as commander jackson and transformed by roosevelt so he just reads the constitution to say make the laws that they are faithfully executed he is just being instructive as is tradition. >> so self-interest may be politically damaging for what he could accomplish. >> tremendously so. he could have done a little more lobbying on behalf of the tariff bill to draw some lines in the sand and allow the bill to satisfy no one the compulsive truth telling with that tariff bill was true but incredibly unwise. you say a gaffe is when a politician tells the truth and that is the compulsive truth telling that got him into trouble but but his biggest political problem was self-inflicted that involved his fatal decision to fire one of roosevelt's closest aides with disastrous political results. >> there is a nice bit in the book devoted to antitrust interest through the constitution something have theodor

if we go to our founders, james madison said the advancement and diffusion of knowledge is the only guardian of true liberty, the advancement of diffusion of knowledge is guardian and liberty. today a sizable share of the members of the senate want to shut down advancement and diffusion of knowledge on a level playing field and sell our rights to equality to the highest bidder. they want to put the modern user, the student, the child, the math teacher, the entrepreneur, the small business, they want to lock them in chains and say we're taking away your freedom to participate in the public square on an equal basis. that is simply wrong. and we know it's wrong because millions of americans are weighing in. i've had in my office phone calls o se days that are 100-1, one or two or three people arguing that sure, let the powerful sell off our free dwom but -- freedom, but for every one of those folks, a hundred citizens saying no way. fight for fairness. fight for equality. fight for our freedom to participate on a level playing field. oh, we hear it from all kinds of small businesses, more than

james madison, professor of his legacy -- madison is the toughest guy. there is a new book on him by harvard law school guy that talks about three madisons, and the madison up until 1788 is one guy and he switches positions. gordon and i have argued whether not.is a contradiction or madison is, in terms of -- madison is the thinker who is responsible for moving us from the confederation to the constitution perhaps more than anybody else, making that happen. he recruits washington with jay's assistance. he writes the virginia plan, which becomes the agenda. he oversees the ratification process. hamilton is the one who has the idea for the federalist papers. writes 29,1, madison and jay writes five, but they actually played the ratification process, too. what madison understands, it is nine, they have got the agreement, nine states will be sufficient. where does that come from? they just make that up. they know that if it has to be unanimous, little old rhode ratified.l never place in newis a england where you sent witches and quakers and people like that.

that is why we are here and that is why james madison was often considered the writer of the constitution of the first amendment and that's why we did that because the british back in 1776 and before because they didn't like what he was saying they put a soldier in everybody's house and made you have to have a soldier care for and provide his food and washes close and they can look through your papers and control but you said and as we heard all day today there was awesome, wonderful forethought americans and said no, no we will not stand for that and we will not allow that and they rose up to fight for the rights of all of the people and that is what we are here today to celebrate. this week is a true celebration of our constitutional rights but of that right to bear arms and that it shall not be infringed upon and i got a good friend here from texas and his name is john wayne walden, are you still here? think about this. this guy was born on the fourth of july and his name is john wayne did not have anything to live up to, right? so he answered the call ended like a lot of us from 1776
