and now the defendant, george jefferson, owner and operator of jefferson cleaners. he claims the plaintiff left a chocolate bar in his pocket. we have the making of a very interesting case here on video verdict. judge cronin is entering the courtroom. let's join him as he hears the case of... "who took who to the cleaners?" the participants have been sworn in. will the plaintiff please state his case? certainly,your honor. i took my pantsinto jefferson cleaners-- i object. this isn't a real court. this court does not recognize objections. i'm sorry, your highness. i objected because the plaintiff didn't specify which jefferson cleaners. you see, sir, i have seven locations. objection overruled. grease stains, grass stains-- no problem. knock it off! no problem. go on, mr. willis. it's very simple. i took the pants in--no stain. got them back--pure milk chocolate. you have any evidence? i do, your honor. here is exhibit "a." and "b," "c," and "d." how do you know this is chocolate? well, i, uh... i tasted it. speak up, please. i tasted it! now, look! but he has right

i'll get to work on it, jefferson. i always knew you'd fold, but our computer said it would be a month until you cracked. me, crack?you don't know i pulleda fast one on you. you did? that's right.you see, i wantto retire. i've been kingof the cleanerslong enough. well, you deserve a rest, jefferson. you've earned it. you see, i respect elderly people. take my mother, for instance. when she got too feeble to work, i let her live with me. no matter how cold it gets up in that attic, i still visit her. you're a regularjohn-boy, winslow. it's my mom. i owe her. i'll see you, jefferson. where's mr. winslow? seeing his boss. i said i'd sell my stores. george, why? well, i just feel like this whole thingis my fault. don't feel like that. take the positive attitude. guilt is its own reward. what does that mean? i don't know. but retiring will be great. i'll be around all the time. day after day after day... florence, look. are those liver spots? don't touchthat pillow. don't forget to dust under the toaster. [crash] i'm just t

he presents that to thomas jefferson. i think thomas jefferson never read all of it. that is just my own guest. what thomas jefferson immediately turned to the part involving alexander hamilton. hamilton had given this big speech where he argued maybe the united states should have an elective, basically like an elective monarch, a person who would live forever. trying to make the virginians looked moderate. thomas jefferson flipped to that part. there are people trying to create a monarchy. from that moment on jefferson is convinced alexander hamilton is enormous danger to the united states and he is secretly trying to have a monarchy. madison started thinking, gosh there are things i wrote in the notes, i gave some speeches i sounded suspiciously all these things jefferson thinks is a bad idea. the book argues that madison took those pages and the speeches and rewrote the pages leaving out the dangerous conclusion he had made so thomas jefferson would not realize he had been more with the hamilton crowd than jefferson thought was advisable when he came back. madison

in jefferson's obsession. jefferson was just obsessed with hamilton and he actually -- there's a great set of secret note that is jefferson keeps where he spends all his time recording how he was trying to tell washington how sneaky hamilton was and he records washington's responses and you feel so bad for washington because he's president, he's got all the people in the cabinet and -- and jefferson keeps showing up, hamilton said this and hamilton said, no, i didn't, i didn't say that. you're all trying to govern the country. they had -- they were once very close and then not so close. >> hamilton, maybe it's a good thing because he gets a musical because we may lose bill. >> he's not on any coins. >> there were more amendments than 10, of course, what were some of the others and not adopted? >> there's great trivia about the constitution so one thing that not everybody realizes is that there were -- madison had a lot of amendments and they are down to 12 and sent out to the states as 12 amendments which mean

jefferson that the notes. because he is so obsessed with hamilton, he thought at the notes were published in which everyone how secretly evil hamilton was and it would destroy hamilton. madison thinking, everybody is still alive and then they will know that actually was pretty close to hamilton at the convention. jefferson will know i was close and it would be a disaster. jefferson keeps pushing madison to revise the notes and to publish them. madison refuses. throughout his life madison refused. eventually madison says i just couldn't have been published posthumously. >> i want to focus again on alexander hamilton. not just because he's got this wonderful new musical, but because even in your talk today and i should know from constitution history, the figure of hamilton perhaps justifiably looms rather large but as you say people obsessed, fascinated with them. tell us more about alexander hamilton. >> want to do things the book focuses a lot on a decade after the convention, those first years, and i think on

jefferson. remember me? - oh yes, hi! (audience laughs) - hi, mr. jefferson. i heard about you gettin' stabbed. gee, i hope it wasn't fatal. (theme song) boy, the way glenn miller played songs that made the hit parade guys like us we had it made those were the days and you knew where you were then mister, we could use a man like herbert hoover again

jefferson. thanks again, jefferson. if there's any problem, put him in the corner. he won't beany problem. i was talking to poopsie. right.ok. bye. as long as we know who's the master, right? yes, you are my guest. take anything you want. if you get hungry, help yourself to the maid. let's tie you out on the balcony. ok, let's visit the kitchen. george! oh, hi, honey. i have great news. [growl] excuse me, weez.florence's toast. it's a giftthat keeps giving. what'sthe good news? [growl] what was that? florence's bacon? is there a dog in here? well, i-- it sure smells like a dog's been here. oh, that's florence'snew perfume. is there a dog in the kitchen? not anymore. get that thing out! he belongs tothe whitendales. i'm not getting off this couch until that thing is gone. i'll getyour nightgown. [doorbell rings] hi, george. hi, louise. what are you doing up there? i've always wanted a dog. of course, fish are nice. that dog could take off somebody's head. really? don't be no fool. what do you want,mr. jefferson? set another plate for dinner. no!i want it out by the t

you'll be the first, jefferson. very clever, jefferson, but too clever. it was onlyspeculation. i'm probably wrong. i hated edgar thornton. i did my best to serve my country. so i did it wearing a cross-your-heart bra. right.by the way,nice legs. oh, thank you. hey, stow it! i fixed this cruise to get rid of thornton. i knew i could lure him on board with this mystery. oh, yes, i impersonated the duchess. it was easy. none of you had ever met her. the perfect crime. i commit the crime, the duchess disappears, of the best mystery writers in the world. what will you do now? i'd have escaped if your husband hadn't solved it. this leaves me no choice but to... award mr. jefferson with the trophy for solving the mystery cruise murder. say what? congratulations!you've solved the mystery! mr. jefferson, this is for you! edgar thornton's murder was the mystery? i impersonated the character in the captain wore nylons. i knew itall the time! i'm a genius! i'd rather have died than to live with him now. this would be the perfect moment to rub your noses in it, good for you. why should i? i

jefferson. ain't that great? i helped willisand florence. anything i can dofor you? oh, i married you.that's enough. although the stock market the potential for a sizable return is there, if we do our homework and use sound financial judgment. any questions? i have a question. what is the stock market? i was goingto ask that. so this is your consortium, florence? well, weeach got $400. money without brains is better than the other way around. let me address the question-- the excellent question--posed by emma. "what is the stock market?" let me see how to put this. have you been outside? sure. i was out there yesterday. good, good. i'm sure you've noticed that, not only are there people, cars, and buses, i'm with you. he makes a lot of sense. good. these businesses don't always use their own money. they get small amounts from people. you get a stock certificate saying you own part of a company. we get our own office? no. if the company makes money, your stocks go up, and you make money. oh, all

jefferson. now, archie, all you owe mr. jefferson is $1. how do i owe him $1? no, daddy, that's not right. no, that ain't right, little girl. help me here. daddy, you're forgetting about the $2 mr. jefferson's still out for the cleaning. you owe him $3. that ain't no help! she's right, arch. you owe him $3. here, give me 5. wait a minute here! well, at least he owes me $2. somebody owes me something here! remember, now. you owe me $2. all right. all right, talking of owings, here, what about the $5 you owe me? i give you $5 last week, i loaned it to you to buy pizza for yourself and gloria. oh, that's right. i forgot, archie. oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. i forgot! i'm sorry! gloria, could you give me $5 to give to archie? oh, sure, honey. let me get my purse. archie: yeah, get the purse, huh? no, wait a minute, daddy. there's something wrong here. yeah, there's something wrong, little girl, huh? yeah, you owe me 10. that's what's wrong? yeah, don't you remember last week i loaned you $10 when you didn't have enough money to pay the plumber for fixing the drip in the s

talk to me a little about jefferson. he's been portrayed in the adams series and also now on broadway as a very weak individual. is that how you saw him in your book? >> no. he's a complex guy. but for me to comment on jefferson is like me telling michael jordan how to play basketball. does he have a few weaknesses? yeah. you're not going to hear it from me. do i judge him on his personal life? does he have some issues? absolutely. should he have gotten the militia together to fight the british? probably, all right? did he do some things politically to keep himself aboveboard, you know, to keep himself relevant? absolutely. but he's such an extraordinary american, he's such a deep thinker, he was so curious. he was somebody that brought so much. and one of the great things i had about this book is going to monticello. and when you go there and you realize you're just scratching the surface of what he achieved in his life, i'm not to going to judge him. i'm just glad he's on our team. i mean, i wrote one term he was calle

jefferson just allowed it to fly about the room. jefferson would feed his bird out of his own lip. he had a trained and the bird and jefferson would feed him. just a wonderful painting. the painting also shows jefferson meeting with one of his closest assistance and one of his best runs. lewis from his area of virginia and lewis was an officer in the army. jefferson offered him a chance to work for him. jefferson -- go back to the war plan for a second -- what jefferson did is even let lewis live in what is today's east room on the south side. he had a sail cloth from a sailing ship as partitioned two hisl rooms -- one was bedchamber, one was a small working space. jefferson and the was would go and forth all day long across the famous cross hall and worked together and plotted aals together and created crowning achievement which was the louisiana purchase. let's jump ahead a decade now to dolly madison. we were talking about her earlier today. first such a fascinating lady. one of my favorites. dolly madison was a wonderful first lady. every day loved dolly -- everybody loved doll

jefferson. and this is... i guess youhave to meet him. george jefferson. george, let'sleave florenceand fred alone. you got something against fred? don't mindmr. jefferson. we always teaseeach other. isn't that right, you little wart hog? come on,george. it's been lovely, florence. but it's so early. i'm in roofing. without enough sleep, i can't stay on top of my job. fred, you're a card. will you call me? sure. when? uh, soon. ok. good night. good-bye. florence! he must be serious. he shook your hand and everything. somehow, i don't think fred enjoyed himself. at least he touched you. george, how could you be so cruel after florence just got dumped. i didn't mean dumped.i mean dropped. i mean... i thought surewe'd hit it off.i liked him. what happened? he wanted to goto his place. i wanted to come home. you don't supposehe was after my body? i just realizedwhy your hair falls out. why? there's nothin'for it to root in. say, florence, i found a man for you.

jefferson of course was a widower. martha died in 1782 so jefferson and lewis would sort of go back and forth all day long down the famous cross hall, they worked together and took a lot of their meals together and they also plotted in fact what turned out to be a crowning achievement of the jefferson administration which of course was the louisiana purchase. let's jump ahead about a decade now to dolly madison. we were just talking about her earlier today. she is such a fascinating first lady. dolley madison was just a wonderful first lady. everybody loved dolley madison. she was outgoing, she was vivacio vivacious, held tons of parties. everybody, everybody wanted invitation to the white house when the madisons were in power. not so much because of james madison but because of dolley. everybody wanted to meet dolley. she knew how to throw a party. food and the booze were top shelf. she served a popular new dish that was all the rage. it was called ice cream. a lot of her entertaining took place in what is today the b

jefferson,i'm sorry. i wanteda dry cleaner to sponsor my team, and you thoughti was interestedin your poetry. i read your book. they're sincere.they're from the heart. but they don't haveany mass appeal. willis liked them. he's a mass! florence, bring me that fruit bowl. thank you. i am sorryabout the mix-up, but i have to go. i'll sendthe uniforms tomorrow. i'm very sorry. that's ok. poetry's my hobby. dry cleaning is my life. well, not every manhas a sensitive soul, but everybodygets dirty. helen, let's walk graham out. good night, louise.florence. you really liked thosepoems we just heard? i don't know, but i knew they'd give me fruit. i don't understand it. everybody saidthey were great. george, they were. but there was something different about tonight. maybe you were rushed. maybe you weren't in the mood. maybe you were distracted by the bongos. bongos? you see. these poems areabout dumb things, except for hawaii 5-0. my other poems wereabout something important. what? you. that's more beautiful to

well, because the jeffersons are different. how are the jeffersons different? because one colored family is a novelty and two is a ghetto. what?! what?! daddy! are you really gonna take that petition around? i told you this ain't a petition. this is a letter that mcnab wrote and he gave it to me. i'm supposed to sign it and pass it along. you know something, i swear i think you do these things sometimes just to eat my heart out. and that's what you do, you know. little by little, piece by piece, you eat my heart out. bunker! bunker, i want a word with you. don't bother to try to hide the evidence. i know what you're up to and i want that letter that mcnab is passing around! what letter? well, maybe he means this letter. get out of here, will you? now, listen, jefferson, i ain't got no argument with you. come on, don't cop out to me. i know that you don't want any more blacks in this street. i never said that. you don't have to. you're always against any improvements on the block! listen, this whole thing with this letter, it's a matter of economics, see? rememb

adams and jefferson would have another difficult election, this time jefferson winning and he would be inaugurated in the new capitol of washington, d.c. but this is setting the tone for our early history all the way up to today. , the room itself will start out as a courthouse. this would have been a courtroom, but around the time this building has finished , when it finishes construction, i think they're hoping if we're really nice they will stay here and not go down to that city along the potomac. they end up expanding it to make a little more room for congress. at we think the setup looks like this. .e have a seating chart it shows the desks. we do not have any desks that have survived. we are fortunate we have some of the chairs. have 30 houses of congress. and as far as original items on the platform for the speaker of the house is in original. we have three cheers exactly like that. we do not necessarily know which was which. we have one for the speaker of the house, one for the vice president, and one for the chief justice of the supreme court. we do not know which one is which

so, jefferson and lewis would go all day long and they plotted the crowning jewel of the jefferson administration. let's jump ahead about a decade to dolly madison, who we were talking about earlier. she is a fascinating first lady. a wonderful first lady. everybody loves dolly madison. she is outgoing and everybody wanted the invitation when the medicines were in town. not so much because of james. everybody wanted to meet dolly. she knew how to throw a party with the food and the booze that was top shelf. a lot of her entertaining took place in the blue room and she had a different color preference. the most famous piece of artwork in the white house is a portrait , theorge washington gilbert stuart portrait of george washington. it is not the average painting, eight feet by five feet, half the size of the screen. it is gigantic. she knew that the british were coming and refused to leave until the painting was safe. she said she is not leaving. the president was out in front. a couple of assistance tried to take the painting down. the frame was bolted to the wall. they took a hatchet and it was
