. >> monroe -- james monroe wanted a draft in the war of 1812, but congress wouldn't pass it. so this is a new thing. were there any new york units during the war that distinguished themselves in ways that made them note worthy here that were celebrated here that became local heros? >> sure. corcoran -- thomas corcoran and the irish were hugely famous here. and did well. they were one of the only union units at the first battle of bull run who stood their ground. corcoran was captured, spent a long time in prison. he came back -- they shut the city down to have a parade for them when they brought him back. he was a big deal. phillip carney, the one armed devil, was almost impossibly dashing. he was like a fictional character. he didn't last very long, because his -- he was outrageously brave and kept going in front of his men and got killed. very famous. and the -- is the 7th. >> yes. the 7th didn't do much of anything. in fact, it did nothing during the war. the 7th marched around and looked great and everybody loved them. officers from the -- when they mustered out of the 7t

longest serving democratically elected legislative body on the planet earth, and suggested that james monroe should be the senator and indeed he was made the senator. so we have madison, we have monroe. the drafter of the declaration of independence thomas jefferson, lived in virginia's fifth district. the father of the power of the article iii branch of government, the supreme court, john marshall, retired in virginia's fifth district. patrick henry retired in virginia's fifth district. lee and grant sat at a table and ended the american civil war in the fifth district of virginia. and a young woman named barbara johns stood up in the face of possible injury or death to start the virginia civil rights movement in the fifth district. so it's pretty humbling. but it gives me a good lesson in who we are. so many on my side of the aisle criticize president obama when he said, you know, if you have a business, you didn't do that. somebody else did that for you. i'll defend him. i'll defend him. did you it with blood and sweat and tears and hard work and persistence and the willing tons stand up

very desirable to any monroe collector. >> tim figures the james dean autograph could fetch up to $4,000are some of the gold nuggets, what's the whole collection worth? what kind of numbers are we talking about? give me a ballpark. >> i would say for insurance purposes, this is a million-dollar collection, easily, because of the condition. >> in tim's opinion, it might have been worth even more. >> there's a lot of variables that go into this. let's take a look at the elvis photograph, for example. you see it says "to jack"? >> yes. >> well, because it says "to jack," that's limiting the market because is jamie going to be interested in something that says "to jack"? i'd rather just have a regular signature. so, with the "to jack" on it, you're looking at the $800 to $1,200 price range. >> i contacted several of the largest auction houses that deal in autographs. one suggested they will put together a book to honor jack kuster and market the product as the jack kuster collection. juan carlos asked me, does this mean that people would be able to buy particular items out of the collection

that diana died much too young and unlike all the other famous people who died young, james dean or marilyn monroesongs or merchandise, and there is a danger she will escape the public consciousness in the younger generation at least. i know people in their early 20s who do not understand the whole diana phenomenon. william and harry are very keen that her legacy, the work that she did, should be emphasised as well as the personal side of her. prince william apparently says we will not be doing this again, we will not be doing this again, we will not be doing this again, we will not speak as openly or as publicly about her again. tell us more about why you think they have done it now. that is one of the reasons, to emphasise her contribution to the monarchy. you saw it very much in the recent visit to poland and germany how they involve themselves in crusades for the environment in william's case, and for children in catherine's case, and harry has done the landmines issue. i suppose they want to emphasise that. but also quite recently they have fronted this campaign called heads together which he

james monroe called on our nation to cherish and sustain our manufacturers. james garfield said of our nation's manufacturers: to them the country owes the splendor of the position it holds before the world. william mckinley believed that when america protects our workers and industries, we open up a higher and better destiny for our people. and calvin coolidge stated that protecting american industry enables our people to live according to a better standard and receive a better rate of compensation than any people, anytime, anywhere on earth, ever enjoyed. we are now, under the trump administration, reclaiming our heritage as a manufacturing nation. we are fighting to provide a level playing field for american workers and industries. other countries will cease taking advantage of us, believe me. we are going to build works of beauty and wonder -- with american hands, american grit, and american iron, aluminum, and steel. no longer will we allow other countries to break the rules, steal our jobs, and drain our wealth. instead, we will follow two simple but ver
