jefferson was invincible this peace and invisible in war. i just wonder how he answered his critics to this charge. >> well, i would say my greatest critic was a gentleman who was also one of my closest compatriots. and i'm referring to colonel patrick henry. do you know i met mr. henry when i was making my way to williamsburg that winter of '59 and '60. to attend the old world college of william and mary. he was a most accomplished fiddler and we commenced to work together in our disagreements with our government as that ensued. we collaborated on that proclamation for a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer. i can only say this. as he wanted to criticize me at a time when i was the second common governor, mind you he was the first, at a time when we had to oversee the safety, protection and defense of our commonwealth of virginia in the light of the invasions by general benedict arnold, let alone general charles lord cornwallis, that we were hardly prepared for that invasion. in fact i remember as governor to try to summon our militias to

then we also have thomas jefferson. the best way to approach this to find out their rationale because your problem is with them. so they go to london as the ambassador of tripoli and jefferson decided he would join adams said his request. they have a great conversation. he is approachable some debate and deal with. he says you can do this and we were charged more than that. but they are horrified and angered to say we cannot fight the lusby fight them for ever. for an american doesn't have the stomach it will only go up. >> we will have a way to borrow the money. with marco rubio the payments are only a little bit late for coat joking. [laughter] now lyon and trouble. and that we cannot keep up. we cannot do this. i am talking about morocco morocco, a tripoli, tunisia, for separate countries that we have deals with all the same mentality with all competition with each other. so sooner or later he takes power. he doesn't say my recommendation but if you read these reports is as we have to stand up for ourselves. so to sa

jefferson read the quran. he says, it's not in there for you to do this, we don't have a problem with you. they said there's only one way out, you've got to pay the money. we don't have any money. so we leave, we find out what spain, france and sweden were paying, and we are actually getting charged more than that. and we don't have the revenue. and both john adams and thomas jefferson leave with same sentiment, they're horrified and they're angered, but they have different marching orders from here on in. john adams, to paraphrase, said, hook, we can't fight these guys -- look, we can't fight these guys unless we want to fight them forever. and america doesn't have stomach for a long war. man, is that still true. thomas jefferson says, listen, the message i'm getting from this meeting is the price is only going to go up, up, and sor or later the attacks are going to given again. i say we fight them. we don't have a government, a constitution, a president, but the recommendation back is essentially we're going

john adams and jefferson were in this meeting. they said all nations not acknowledging allah are sinners. adams was freaked out. he said let's just write these guys a check. even if we have to get a loan from amsterdam. jefferson said what kind of message are we sending the rest of the world. we have to set an example. later when he became president, jefferson fought him. kennedy: that was the birth of the marines and the start dominance of the navy. who is jefferson in today's scenario. >> i would say when george bush took on the saddam hussein threat, when he got it wrong, jefferson got the wrong strategy in the beginning. when he doubled down and got the right generals involved. and he won. but what jefferson did it stopped in 1805 before total victory. this is bush 43 and 41. 41 he didn't take out saddam. 43 he didn't stay with the surge. james madison had to go back in 1815 and get total today it laying. if you let the military do their job even back then they win. the good news, they couldn't stop them. kennedy: jefferson wa

thomas jefferson wrote in his diary, and wrote letters to other folks describing and recollecting the events of the day. it was certainly a memorable occasion for them. dunmore was not the first and only governor to dissolve the house of burgesses. this was in the governor's prerogative. this incident was a little bit different because as tensions dunmore increasing, really saw this as and a front to his authority, i think, and a challenge to royal authority. the house at that point was really sort of acting in open particularly with their open and vocal support of their countrymen in massachusetts, dunmore felt as the scene per trade that this was intended really to stir the population -- as the scene portrayed, that this was intended to stir the population. and start the population against him. i have lost myself. greta: that is ok. let me ask you this -- at this point in 1774, how long had virginia been a colony and what did that mean? joseph: virginia had been a colony since 1607. that is almost 170 years. so virginia was the first successful, permanent british colony in north ame

patrick henry and thomas jefferson. and have a very orderly design. it was the third-largest building in town. it consisted not only of the building we are standing in, but there was a can now, a scullery, a laundry, kitchen. we know that one governor actually had 5000 models in his cellar. the house today is a reconstructed building on an architectural site. it was open to the public in 1934. since then it has undergone refurbishing and interpretations. one governor arrived in 1774. at the end of that year, lady dunmore gave birth to a daughter. unfortunately, things went sour between the relationship of the governor and the virginians, and in 1775, the governor and his family fled in darkness, never to return again. today, we have furnished the building as accurately as we can. we used primary documents such as inventory taken when the governor died, when an inventory would be taken of personal possessions. we had a letter, also a floor plan. they remodeled the palace into a very detailed floor plan. the capital moved to richmond, virginia, and thom

jefferson was hugely critical of this. one of the issues was, should the chief justice have recused himself? he was a party to the underlying action that was decided in the case. he was be secretary of state responsible for delivering these. i have a feeling that today, the modern supreme court might well have that justice recuse himself from the case. but he did not, he decided the case, and it has stood for different things to different people down through the last 200 years. host: marbury is taught in virtually every high school civics book as a pivotal case for the court establishing judicial review. some of the historians we have been talking to suggest that for the next 50 years or so, the court did very little but began to assert itself more. what do you think of its role today in terms of judicial review and how much it has taken upon itself in this area? rep. goodlatte: i think the court has been mistakenly relying on marbury for something that goes beyond what the actual decision made, gone too far in a regardof
