so he took on -- he left jefferson -- most of jefferson's cabinet in place.d took on some political hacks. especially the secretary of state, the new secretary of state. he replaced himself with one of a republican leaders of congress. and that secretary of state did a disastrous job. the british had signed a peace treaty with the americans in london. and it takes a month -- it took a month or more for ships to cross the atlantic before the ship could bring the copies of the treaty here, madison was talked into invading canada to show off how strong we were. and, of course, it was a disaster. >> you alluded at the beginning of the fact that most americans don't recognize him as one of the great presidents. in fact, they don't recognize him at all. what do you think is the reason for that? >> well, i think the other gentleman asked that question. i think the reason simply is that historians like to cover exciting battles, a lot of blood, a lot of action. and tend to ignore the solid work of hard-working political leaders. i think that's probably still true. pe

he loved jefferson. he loved jefferson even when jefferson became his political rival. really his political enemy. and even, i think it can be said, when it was discovered that jefferson had been paying the man who had been slandering adams during his presidency. and his vice presidentsy, james calendar. his affection for his wife was boundless. and his respect for her was boundless. this story of the adams is, among many other things, one of the great love stories in american history. "your sentiments of the duties we owe to our country are such as become the best of women and the best of men." he wrote to her. "among all the disappointments and perplexities which have fallen my share in life, nothing has contributed so much to support my mind as the choice blessing of a wife." "i want to take a walk with you in the garden, go over to the common, the plain, the meadow. i want to take charles in one hand and tom in the other and walk with you, abby on my right hand, to view the cornfields. alass poor imagination you do supply the want of the original and reality." after

this is very interesting about jefferson.n fact, in some ways has the most expansive view of presidential power. >> host: but it's not in the power. >> guest: right. he has this conflict, he's internally conflicted because he is the original constructionist. he wants the constitution to be read narrowly because he fears the power of the federal government. on the other hand, there are crises and emergencies, opportunities that he knows are in the best interests of the country can. for example, the louisiana purchase. >> host: we're going to get to that in a minute. but explain that prerogative. >> guest: so jefferson thinks if there's not a power in the constitution, there's the president still has this extra constitutional power to do something in the best interests of the country, to save the safety of the people, and what's the check? he asks for popular support after he's done it. >> host: the people will okay me. so if it's popular -- he became a party leader. >> caller: yes. >> host: he found a patronage, figured that o

jefferson. now 18 no one is important because the president to change his pants, but also political parties change hands and there's no bloodshed tiered >> at the first peaceful transfer of power between political parties. and it's amazing. and so they might not have shed real blood, but they shed a little political blood in the course of it. but i want to get a little bit into the jeffersonian area of the presidency because before he was president, what did jefferson think of presidential powers. >> this is one of the most interesting chapters to work on because whichever some thought about the exeve and the presidency quotes on both sides and i think it's only starting to come into focus lately what he really thought. it's very interesting, for example, is quite the credit of executive power because after the neutrality proclamation -- >> certainly before u.s. president. >> he founded the democratic party in opposition to the neutrality proclamation. i mean, that was the event and make it to t

and in the middle of writing this book about jefferson, i was kind of taking jefferson's vision of america up till today. and i kept reading, i read in so many books that in 1886, the supreme court ruled that under the 14th amendment, because it says no person should be denied equal protection. there are natural persons you and me, and there's artificial persons corporations, governments, churches and they have to have some personhood status in order to pay taxes, own property, be sued or sue, things like that. and because the 14th amendment doesn't say natural persons it simply says person that the court had ruled, that therefore corporations had rights under the bill of rights. so i went down to -- so at that point i thought i was trying to do everything from original resources, i was actually reading jefferson's stuff. so i went down to vermont supreme court law library, which was a really old one. vermont was a nation before joining the united states -- vermont and texas are the only two that were and paul donovan, a librarian there, found the original published in 1889, you know, deci

i was actually reading jefferson's stuff.mont supreme court law library which is a really old one. vermont was a nation before it turned to the united states. the librarian found an original book from 1889 and i read it. i discovered that in 1886, the supreme court actually did not rule that corporations or persons. in his commentary, it was opened and said that the corporations were people under the 14th amendment. i asked to the clerk of the court was. he was formerly the president of the new york rare. -- new york road. -- new york railroad. there was corruption on the supreme court. in fact, he wrote that headnote after the chief justice had died. i think that the chief justice is rolling over in his grave. in the intervening years, we have had corporations claim supported the amendment against discrimination. we have had been planned for the amendment rights of privacy they will not tell us what they know about tobacco. now, we have had them first amendment rights of free speech. a case that cannot in 2002, after my book

nowadays, our politicians look more honest, jefferson aside, but they seem less responsible. congressmen are promising trillions of dollars in programs that the american taxpayer cannot afford. the budget deficit has hit 11% of g.d.p. that's almost twice the level it hit in the 1980s, when democrats lambasted president reagan for cutting taxes. the disgraced administration of warren g. harding actually slashed the national debt. our debt ratio is now returning to world war ii levels. even the chinese government is begging the white house to either cut spending or at least go on vacation so they have fewer opportunities to spend more. now, don't get me wrong. i don't think congressmen are committing bribery or extortion. i'd call it burglary. they are taking crowbars and hammers and then breaking, entering, and smashing the piggy banks of our children and grandchildren. i'm todd buchholz. >> susie: that's "nightly business report" for thursday, february 4. i'm susie gharib, goodnight everyone and goodnight to you too, tom. >> tom: good night, susie. i'm tom hudson. goodnight e

other books on the inventors of america i think is your phrase, lincoln as an inventor, madison, jefferson -- some of the cia in defenders draw on the history to say no the cia is part of a long history. george washington had a secret fund of $1 million appropriated by congress but that is total discretion to pay spa is or more of them ransom hostages from the barbary pirates, so that's the historical metaphor for a simple lawrence houston in 1947 when they are setting up the cia and he's the clever council says no, we are just doing what the george washington did but he didn't make a reference to leslie growth, the project, he was strolling on the father of the country. how do you respond to that? what is your meeting of washington? >> guest: you said it was secretly appropriated what is appropriated by congress. it's true that and more time shortcuts are taken, extraordinary measures are taken, in an emergency and versions of powers are granted, the constitution is suspended in part. that always happens in the wartime but after the other wartime, there was a return to the constitutional

there's a big break because madison at jefferson's prodding had published synonymous things attacking washington which was a really personal act of treachery, and washington never forgave him. but anyway, to use that as some kind of precedent for this settled law under the constitution makes no sense at all. >> host: whether it is the louisiana purchase by jefferson or a b is corpus -- >> guest: it wasn't war so what relevance does that have? >> host: it's just a unilateral expression of presidential power, not war, right? >> guest: yeah but again this is something he could have gotten permission if he wanted but he thought there was no time. he wanted a constitutional amendment. that is what he first proposed and his advisers said we've won't have time to get napoleon to go along with this. if you start doing this he will think that you are shilly-shallying. but as i say it is and war power so people who bring that up as in a sample of presidential war power are stretching it. host kaput habeas corpus as mentioned by leggitt -- >> guest: it was totally unconstitutional and the suprem

he studied law with thomas jefferson. they were close friends, former president jefferson came to dinner at governor tyler's home and it was young john in charge of the dinner preparing the dinner overseeing the preparation of the dinner so that no tyler i think was so influenced by his father and that generation grew up hearing stories about the revolution and i think it explains his ambition. he sees himself as part of the revolutionary generation as being one of the virginia dynasties of presidents, and i think that is fueled his ambition. >> thank you very much. great question. >> i'm sure i am one of the very many who are intrigued by the relationship between george herbert walker and his less prudent some. i've heard all be at third hand but credibly at least on one occasion he deplored the event of iraq, the invasion and perhaps others. can you give some insight as to that relationship and the week in which george herbert walker has dealt with the events of his sons presidency? >> and george bush lost both of his c

absolutely. >> larry: jefferson favored just senators being appointed based on if you owned property.erty, but they were appointed. you know, i'm not really sure. i mean, maybe they don't need a sna senate at all. all i know is the senate is where legislation goes to die. this idea that the filibuster, the supermajority, why can't they get rid of that? that's not fundamentally how they wanted it. they wanted legislation to be decided -- if it was 51-49, that was good enough --. >> larry: it was freedom of speech and they proved that you can hold things up by talking forever. >> then the democrats should have made them do it. why don't we see a filibuster. if this is what the law is now, which is, by the way, kind of a coup. it has fundamentally altered the way business is done. the majority wants certain things. when obama was elected, the majority wanted a public option, but it doesn't happen because you can't get 60 people out of 100 to agree on anything in this country. 60 people don't agree on evolution, let alone health care. >> larry: bacar dirdi in new me. are you there? >> cal

william jefferson, charlie rangel is still the chairman of the house ways and means committee. the white house they didn't seem to have a problem putting tax cheats or trying to appoint lot of 'em one of 'em is the head of the irs now. i don't think they think it is a problem. >> one of the questions is, enough of the press become sufficiently disend manhattanned -- disenchanted with barack obama that we are going to look into it with the same vigor -- >> sean: no i o'-- no. >> the work has to be done by other people. anybody that discourages young people particularly, i still think i'm the secretary of education, about politics by in kind of trashy behavior, there's a special condemnation. you make people cynical about this, it's gotta matter. yesterday when you saw our guy paul ryan didn't that make you feel better about politics? >> sean: listen paul ryan, cantor, pence there's a real emerging young group of conservatives that i think are gonna be the future of the party. you mentioned 2010 moments ago. i've had rasmussen, john, karl rove, none of them think as of right now

the funny thing is we think about leary and lsd, we see in the and bedspreads and jefferson airplane, the grateful dead, all that. not that have happened yet. these guys were looking like a madman, the great show. they were like button-down, thin ties. in 66 timothy leary was dressed like that. they were listening to miles davis. the rock thing hadn't happened yet so it was a hold to rivera, -- a whole different era. they set up these communes in newton and around leary's house and they were like the first to be cautious so many lives and in college in the '60s and '70s. they really did start something, there's no doubt about it. san francisco kids a lot of the credit but it really started here. >> insisted to the had the rev. howard thurman was not luther king's mentor who come of. >> there is a chapter in this book called ascenders and saints and it is too long sections about the prison project and the other is about the good friday experiment which again rick should have written that chapter. he did a follow-up which basically was the had the -- i think i mentioned it -- but he d

south of jefferson street. detours for you. you can take 355 to 40 to get back to i-270. let's get you back. we see one lonely car going past this stretch here. the warning is out from d dot to stay off the roadways both on cars and on foot. pedestrians are avoiding, as you can see, the sidewalks that are not plowed here, being on the roadways, a very dangerous mix. we have a warning if you are going to be on the bay bridge, watch out for snow removal blocking some of the lanes and fog and wind warnings also in effect. guys, back to you. >> snow is slowly coming to an end, those winds are picking up. here's the latest storm safety alert. >> today's storm makes this the snowiest winter ever on record in washington, d.c. and the hazardous weather counties force many jurisdictions in maryland and virginia to pull their plows off the road, many of them are back on the streets now. >> both virginia governor, and martin o'malley are urging people to stay inside and off the roads because of extremely dangerous conditions. and dc police are using four- wheel drive vehicles, humve

. >> in west virginia, berkeley, harsh shier, hardy, jefferson and mineral county schools are closed. morgan county schools are also closed today. >> this heavy snow this weekend is expected to have a major effect on metro service. metro will open on time today at 5:00. in about ten minutes. operating on a normal schedule today. it will continue to run normally today until there are eight inches of snow on the ground. after that all above ground service will be shut down. >> given what the anticipated snow total amounts will be for the weekend, it is highly probable that we will suspend all of our above rail service for the entire weekend. also highly probable we'll suspend all of our metrobus all day saturday. that could extend into sunday as well. >> now if above ground rail service is suspended, metro will operate on a modified underground schedule. take a minute right now to grab a pen and paper because coming up the numbers you'll need if your power goes out. plus -- >> move your car. make sure you top off the gas. get some washer fluid. get new wipers. put a shovel in the trunk.

south jefferson street shut down in both directions. we are advising folks to get on route 355 to get back on 270. joining us from virginia, the roads still not good as you can see, one car stuck right there and this is what you will run into. most of the roads, especially the major routes look passable. is when you try to turn off the exit, like this one. you are going to get stuck, because the snow has to go somewhere and they are pushing it off to the side. a lot of it gets stuck on the exit. they are notorious for all the disabled vehicles out there, big and small, this driver is in a bad condition right there. we don't want you to be out there. stay clear. we want snowplows to have all the access they can get out there on the main routes. let's go over to the district, where roads aren't looking good either. the car will probably be stuck here in downtown dc for a while, and some bad news for all the kids out there, maybe adults as well who love the disney show. the ice show is supposed to be happening tonight at 7:30, they cancele

absolutely going back to thomas jefferson and the history of haiti.e. haiti became this orphan child of the caribbean. it lost france. it lost any kind of help. the u.s. wasn't interested in helping this island that wasn't near them at the time that the u.s. was still expanding and part of its own. they didn't really pay that much attention. accept that france eventually demanded to compensate them for the land lot of. haiti had to boor row money in order to pay france back. they were indebited to us and france in paying for their independence for the decade of generations. that led in many ways to haiti becoming much less developed it is striking when you go. i drove across and you drive through this amazingly lush land. all the way west through the dominican republic. it's green and beautiful and you get to the hatian border, it's like a dust goal. the difference is so striking. it's been completely did he forested. part of that is because the island is so undeveloped. it's really the poorest country. out of 9 million people, only 1 million people h

washington is the father of the country and jefferson's father of the declaration and later on you'll have madison and mason and important leaders in other political areas. you know, virginia did produce some great leaders, for sure. >> what does everyday virginiaian think about the british and the revolution? >> it begins. you are going to have some support, it wasn't so great here in virginia as maybe in new york and that what i focus a lot. as you see the whole dispute develop. more and more everyday virginians buy into what their leaders are saying. their rights are threatened and they may become absolute slaves to the people and you read about virginians. we're at a disadvantage. we're always at a disadvantage as reachers. there's not a whole with lot of material of everyday virginians. that's difficult. almost every book you read about was going to be bias towards the elite or upper class, the leaders. that's enough out there still in diaries and letters that you get an idea. it shows to some degree they are on the same page as our leaders. they bought into the rhetoric, so to s

and jefferson and said, i am burning these diaries because i think we need to have a strong presidentin and adam gets in, if people see they are real people, we will not be able to keep 13 and then growing colonies turning into states and more together. we have to have a unifying president. once we slug it out on the campaign trail, we all have to get behind that figure. and you start getting the cult of washington growing, which culminates in the city of washington, the washington monument, washington on the dollar bill, washington on the quarter, tales of washington tossing his coin across the rappahannock river, his tale of the tear -- cherry tree. a mythological figure. guest: it is better the diaries were burned? host: better the diaries were burned? guest: i don't have a view because things happen. but that is what charles thompson thought. but the civil war would happen a couple of generations earlier if we did not rally behind a small -- strong chief executive post cut back on our democrats line. guest: i'm glad you mentioned lyndon johnson, my favorite, because his social iss

, even goes into parts of the mountains and also the panhandle of west virginia, mineral county, jefferson county, berkeley, that area. 12 to 20 down to the south. 6 to 12 in extreme southern maryland and over toward the delmarva. i think we're going he see some mixing here. i think it almost climatologically has to happen because of the position of the he will pressure. it's a little inland around wilmington, north carolina. when it moves offshore that will suck down some cold air. meantime, six to 12 tonight between now and say midnight, then midnight to 6:00 a.m. another six to eight. two to four inches in the morning. and probably another one to two in the afternoon. now, if you live east of town, the snow is going to taper off last. it may snow everywhere or flurry everywhere most of tomorrow night, but in terms of accumulating we think it's going to shut off between 6:00 and 8:00 on saturday night. that said, blizzard conditions tonight, and that's what we're really kind of concerned about. satellite picture, radar combined, there's the area of snow, but notice the area of green here

also some heavy snow in jefferson county, west virginia. and elsewhere right around washington, we have got some light to moderate snow. deep pockets of heavier snow. howard county, frederick county, maryland and other parts of southern maryland. they have had some light coating of icing and some snow earlier, now it does look like it's going to be snowing back in even there here over the next couple of hours. we had a report in hagers town, 11 inches from the storm there so far and into west virginia in morgan county, had a report there of nine inches of snow. out in garrett county, weather watchers there reporting nine inches. it's four inches at reagan national airport. we have had reports of up so six inches in annapolis county. three inches in charles county, over to near fredericksberg and a couple of inches in the central shenandoah valley, but it will continue to pile up. and montgomery and fairfax counties have had three to four inches, the southern parts of the sown, northern parts of the montgomery county up to six. under 20s thr
