it changed my mind on jefferson. i got two questions. one of the questions is in all your research, have you ever changed your mind on any of the people that you've written about? i'm reading your book on adams right now, and i love adams, and i'm a yankee, so i think, you know, tend to agree with him more. that's one of the questions is do you ever change your mind about people you write about? number two, i know it's difficult to put people in the past into the modern time, but when i read your books, i try to figure out where politically jefferson and adams and jefferson and washington and hamilton, where they would be politically, you know, on the spectrum. i get the feeling that jefferson would be a tea party guy. hated big government, you know -- >> there's reason for that. he's a libertarian. >> could you just briefly go down a couple of the big guys and say where you think they would fall? >> oh, man. [laughter] >> politically right now. >> well, what i really said to the l.a. times reporter that i don't think i mentioned -- mayb

what happened to martha jefferson?> she was not in the white house because she died very early on. she and jefferson were married for 10 years. then she died in childbirth. so he was a widower when he moved into the white house. and he needed someone to oversee these parties when both sexes present. it was thought to be unseemly to entertain in mixed company if you did not have a partner present. so he would sometimes ask dolley madison. >> he did not entertain very much. >> he entertained in a private way. he did not have large entertainments like washington or adams or the madison spirit. >> the capital was getting used to that. >> i think there was criticism not because he was not social, but because he did not invite the women as often as he did the men. he preferred to have a lot of male company and conduct actual political conversations. he also did away with all kinds of rank and protocol. which was very criticized at that time. but he wanted everyone to be treated as equals. he thought that's what the nation wa

thomas jefferson is in a lost world. we're in a different place, but if we believe in original intentions in the core values of our republic were established at that moment, we should have a seminar on this. it will be an interesting conversation in which liberals and conservatives alike might be out of come together. thank you for having me. [applause] >> don't embarrass me by not having any questions for having six. >> thank you. that was wonderful. i am a big fan of yours. growing up i was a big fan of thomas jefferson. i thought he was the greatest president that there was. i loved peas growing up and he groupies in monticello. i like wine. he went broke drinking wine. i just loved him. i thought he was fantastic. and then i read your book. [laughter] fantastic book. it changed my mind on jefferson. and so i've got two questions. one of my questions is another research, have you ever changed your mind on any of the people you've written about? and reading your book on items. he's a yankee, so i tend to agree with him

he was the only man -- jefferson said north and south are ready to fight each other. but if they have you to hang on, speaking to president washington, they will stay together. and his presence really was held the nation together. it was a dramatic period. everyone thinks the government is dysfunctional today. welcome to democracy, folks. if you want a smooth functioning government, get a dictator. so this had been going on since the beginning of time in this country and it's part of democracy where you have a huge country with a large number of different interests. the interests of wyoming are not the same of rhode island. the interest of north and south are different in the interest of the banks are different from the entrance of the homeowners. everybody has a different interest. the government is on the dysfunctional when you disagree with it. >> this has been going on since the beginning of our democracy. and as they say in my book, mr. president, george washington holds this together and sets the precedents that still created what some critics called the imperia

he would pen a letter to thomas jefferson, leading jefferson know that he had lost a dear friend ande would say to his family, if only i could lie down beside her and die, too. >> can you talk about john adams life in the years after abigail died? >> john was surrounded by family. so he was not isolated. thatad always is hostess and she had always had his hostess and caretaker, a niece who lived with him, and had lived with him for most of her life. grandchildren came and children came. there was always traffic through the house and people came and militia came from boston, as you said. so there was a lot going on he was quite years. palsied. he couldn't write his own he had someone right for him. -- write for him. he kept this incredible correspondence with jefferson in those years. >> culminating with the two of them finally coming to peace and dying together on the 50th anniversary of the declaration of independence, july 4, which is really quite an amazing piece of american history. there is a question here about whether or not there is a lead-- a bloodline still living for john

borglum had his men go up there, drill behind jefferson, pack it full of dynamite, and they blew jefferson right off the mountain. now, the order changed. they moved jefferson where he is today, that moved lincoln down further where he is, and now they had room to add theodore roosevelt. >> how much further? >> oh, not too far. got to go up the stairs, and we're gonna be there. >> how'd the workers get up here? >> well, believe it or not, it was a climb of over 760 stairs every morning from down by the studio, walk right up this way. and then in 1936, the upgraded train-car system would carry five people. so you got a free ride up in the morning, walked down at night. are you ready? >> all right, let's go. >> okay. >> on the way up, we passed the remains of an old pipeline. it once carried the compressed air that powered the jackhammers used to carve the faces. i'll show you something really cool that most people never get to see. this was gonna be the hall of records. gutzon borglum was mount rushmore's ingenious sculptor. he wanted a place where america's most important documents would b

what happened to martha jefferson? >> she and jefferson were married for 10 years.ed in childbirth. she was a little or when she moved into the white house. she needed someone to oversee these parties when both sexes were pleasant. it was thought to be unseemly. he would ask dolley madison. >> he did not entertain very much. >> he entertained in a private way. he did not have large entertainments like washington or atoms or the madison spirit >> the capital was getting used to that. >> i think there was criticism. because he did not invite the women as often as he did the man. he preferred to have a lot of mail company and conduct actual political conversations. he also did away with all kinds of rank and protocol. he wanted everyone to be treated as equal. thought that was what it was all about. >> james madison and thomas jefferson were very close political allies. it is natural when jefferson is elected. i want to say something about jefferson's social program. it is not an accident. he was interested in securing his own political power. he had dinner parties wit

jefferson, of course, was very involved in science, washington and hamilton, among others, were members of the american philosophical society which we'll talk about in a few minutes. and, of course, franklin straddled both the political and scientific worlds. rather, my focus is on an earlier cohort of cart -- artisans, craftersmen and independent farmers captivated by two ideas from the enlightenment and shaped by the american experience. so what were these? well, one, the value of learning and knowledge. that is what we would call information and data perhaps today is directly proportional to its practical import of utility. in other words, to be of any real value, knowledge has to be truly useful. and second, that anyone -- not just the high born, the well educated, those flume in lastedden and greek -- could take part in the pursuit of knowledge, the pursuit of science and the pursuit of knowledge in general. so what we really had here was this growing, budding movement that sort of gathered momentum was a movement for useful knowledge was a challenge to traditional elites who maint

we had the jefferson and the hampton. the great debate was the nature of the future society they were creating. jefferson, for most of his political life, there's a lot of evidence at the end of his life, especially with the war of 1812 he realized it wasn't possible. no debt, no real industrialization. it was so big could keep expanding and run itself as a agricultural society and sell the surplus food and bring in whatever import it needed for the own requirement. hamilton would push for the rapid industrialization among the british model so they could compete. hamilton's basic program was pay off the debt from the war which was cripping. create a centralized currency and central bank, industrialized develop dwop trade treaties. jefferson became president and they sometimes see the world differently. and the war of 1812 in particular sharpened his focus. he wrote to a friend, if i can find it quickly, i will. he basically says that, you know, thanks to the brits, just like satan pulled adam and eve out of paradise. the
