well, thomas jefferson.jefferson is a man who has a background that similarities to washington. he's 11 years younger, not that much difference in age, but he's not military. thomas jefferson's, he had a father that was a robber man who was also a surveyor for lord fairfax and established the fairfax stone, which i visited at the western extremity of maryland and west virginia, served saying the western edge of large fairfax property, peter jefferson there's a map that peter jefferson and joshua fry make in 1751 that washington uses when he's going there. bounds so he was kind of a burly outdoors guy. he dies when thomas jefferson is 14 and basically thomas jefferson is a rich at age 14, washing up to son of a second marriage, totally different multiple brothers doesn't inherit much money, inherits three slaves. jefferson inherits a hundred and and his father is the mapmaker, not him. and the father was the father was the map maker. jefferson establishes environments and you can see the final ones that he es

yes, jefferson was human. jefferson owned his own children. those children were freed because of the woman with whom we had children. and there were four. we say we say that we believe you said seven. we believe we had six children. for the record, and the four of them survived infancy. so so it's important to recognize that. monroe, jefferson and all the founders were flawed individuals and they made huge mistakes. and some of those mistakes we live with today, thomas jefferson was my five times great grandfather. he kicked that can down the road. as i say, we can deal with emancipation later. he did not foresee that there would be the birth of cotton in the forest. the greatest migration within a country in history. you have people disappeared down south. that was a mistake. he made a mistake. and we can't whitewash that. you have to tell the truth and we all benefit from learning the truth. and in the process of learning the truth, people who have been written out of history are in fact elevate, you know, why they were elevated? because the

and when jefferson takes over, he the power of the federal government.i mean, unless you you you get the mail delivered. but that's it how the government never touched you in any way. there was no major army and there's no there's no except for customs duties, which you never felt so. and you had the mail coming in and that's the way you'd know you were living in the federal government. by 1810. let's take another question up here. we see a thing out here. they exist. i ask about the new army in the adams administration. how big a concern is the creation by congress? a second american army, and how serious a concern was it that hamilton leading it would use it against political enemies, i should say? this is corey sharkey runs foreign and defense policy know one of america's great experts on civil military niceties and there's always been a problem of why madison turns against the administer the washington administration because he is such a nationalist in the 1780s he would be really engineered as anyone i think if anyone's going to be the father of the

you hear about thomas jefferson as a slaveholder.t you did not hear was john adams was a principled abolitionist. he did not have to be. around him the normal thing was to be a slaveholder. his son john quincy adams was our first non-founding father who became a resident. this was a guy who in his father's legacy wanted to abolish slavery. he tried everything he could in his post-presidential career,, served one term w -- career, served one term. he was called back into what pulled him into public service in the first place. he got elected as a congressman actually. think about that happening today. after serving as president of the united states, he went back to serve as a mere congressman in u.s. congress. served for multiple terms and he went there with one objective. to abolish slavery. so back when he was serving in congress, they had something called the gag rule. the restrictions on speech today, they had restrictions on speech back then. some congressman from the south said you cannot say the word slavery on the congress floo

yeah, it's it's like a preordained to be an historian when they give you a name like jefferson jeffersonthe my father was a thomas jefferson freak. he is no longer with us. but he he loved the idea of the renaissance man that thomas jefferson. i don't think he thought much beyond my mother, who's from greensboro, carolina, like the kid that it was jefferson davis. but i don't think that was the case. but if we take this. jeffersonian idea, maybe is something sort of psychologically at work here, it is a critique of this idea that, you know, like jefferson felt that that every county should essentially rule itself and and have very limited interaction power. and in some ideal universe that's true. but we don't live in that world and. local forms of power are very coercive of and lead to this freedom to. and so that's why i'm in some ways i'm trying to overthrow sort of jeffersonian, jacksonian idea of of what freedom is, although i have sort of jackson revisionist thing going within the book. yeah. no. do you think. yeah it's going right and. could you comment on the inability of our coun

you know, thomas jefferson gets his beautiful memorial in d.c. and george mason has a bench like in the shadow of. and you kind of feel like if george mason would have just been for i. i was there something you might not but then marcellus warren goes on and writes, you know, the greatest like early history of the american revolution, three volumes published in 1805. and and so some of that was so important to that generation then i i'm guessing that most american schoolchildren wouldn't be able to say who she is, except she is in the texas standards. so have both works of humanities. yeah, well, i would add in the people know who he is. i would say this john marshall, as a father story. john, john marshall. i mean, you know, chief justice who basically transformed ed the supreme court, which was pretty much nothing before he was there in a little power. and they start out they don't even have an office and there you know nobody wants to be it there trying to get somebody to be chief justice and he doesn't want it. you know, jay does want to come

thomas jefferson he was 33 when he wrote the declaration of independence. think about that.he swivel chair while he was at it. this is a guy who was fluent in seven languages, right in two of them. he was a guy who wrote i tell students when i talk to them, he wrote 16,000 letters over the course of his life. like 16,000 letters, that's like 4000 works, okay i give up her do that. no, no, no. he wrote 16,000 letters, essays over the course of his life. when he sat down to write the declaration of independence the public is going to sit there for a long time. he invented the swivel chair, the modern swivel chair that we sit in today was invented by thomas jefferson. one of our founding fathers. and then the polygraph test. these were the guys who set this country and motion. what would we say today? you get to do, you're not an expert, you didn't get it for your college degree. shut up and sit down to it are told. not our founding fathers. these were the pioneers, the explorers, the unafraid, the people who would not be stopping somebody else telling them what they can and ca

he's number two on the committee after jefferson. jefferson was young, not very busy in philadelphia, you know, generally reclusive. adams was basically on every committee that mattered. so as a result, he was too busy to be a drafter. he did admire jefferson on a number of dimensions and again worked for the politics to have the result that jefferson get the most votes when it came time to select a committee to write a preamble for declaration of independence. so the declaration's, i believe, properly understood as adams's declaration. that's the first and most important point that then leads to a second important point, which is the one professor would made at the very end his remarks. and i was so glad that he did that. it is indeed the revolution brings us the beginning of the end of enslaved it. and it's adams who is a part of that as is ben franklin, also on the committee of five that drafted the declaration. and so immediately before the end of the revolution. so before we get to even eight states having a boston slave man bef

traitor to this country in history perhaps, we should note that jefferson davis himself believed at time that section 3 applied to him. the fact that he was already disqualified from office under the 14th amendment was part of his argument, again, back then as to why he should not be tried for treason after he lost the civil war. but, i should say, i'm not entirely sure trump's lawyers are really making good faith argument. they're just sort of throwing out anything they can, considering they also seem to waffle on the question of whether or not former president barack obama twice elected to be president, could be disqualified from the ballot under the text of the 22nd amendment, which clearly states a president can only serve two terms. >> could the democratic party put president obama up for -- on the primary ballot, could that happen? >> i haven't done a full analysis of that particular provision, your honor. i'm really focussed on section 3. but could they do it? conceivably i think it's an open question. >> i mean, to be clear, i don't think it's an open question. the 22nd amen

but then you have jefferson and and lincoln. i would say that are much more concerned about this has to be captured by changing opinion before. you deal with the institutions. and that brings me back to the i guess, the divergence in the founders, you know, jefferson's arguing that, you know, a revolution every couple decades is the way to go versus obviously somebody like hamilton and even madison that the institutions really to be at the center of the process and so i guess any comments or how do we think about i mean, there's this interesting sort of rebuttal to jefferson in the federalist papers. i think it's around 50. is it 49, 50, when. i madison replies that you know, this moment of founding as in i think he says something like an experiment to take a nature to repeat, you know, that there are certain facts about having just fought a war about the unity that comes with that moment that this goes to peter berkowitz this point about the danger of thinking one can have re. very often in a healthy way. so so that's why i spe

so if i look at the seven presidents that i focus on, you know, thomas jefferson was a serial founder. he always knew that he wanted to found a great university. you know, john quincy adams, you know, had no idea what he was gonna do next. and in a much lower station, he found a much higher calling as a abolitionist, you know, ex-president in the house of representatives. george w. bush never knew that he was gonna, you know, become so passionate about painting that it would, you know, he'd be a painter longer tn he was a politician. - john quincy adams, the son of john adams, the second president, is the only former president who went on to serve in the house of representatives. he served nine terms, almost two decades. explain the circumstances of adam's trajectory. - well, first of all, it's worth noting, so john quincy adams, who gets his first job appointed by george washington in his administration, dies in his ninth term in the house of representatives as an ex-president in 1848, serving alongside abraham lincoln, a freshman congressman from illinois. so talk about- - and he di

but it's good that geraldo mentioned jefferson davis, because jefferson davis was never convicted oft was assumed that this was self in forcing. and all of the confederates who were barred from office actually applied for amnesty. so they accepted that this section applied to them. and i think it's very important also to note that some to rule him out does not require any action by congress or another court. and by the way, i am not saying that colorado should be able to do this and alabama should be able to do something else. i think the court should take this very seriously and tell us very clearly it's view, does this amendment, does this part of the amendment for somebody who did what donald trump did from office? either it does, in which case he should not be on any ballot, or does not, in which case he should be eligible for every ballot. but this is about protecting the constitution and democracy. that's the paradox here. i get the argument, because i thought this was true myself that democracy as put trump on the ballot. if you've got someone who tried to overthrew the consti

thomas jefferson. the squire of monticello. it was jefferson who wrote these words. we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights. that among these are life. liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. these words penned by thomas jefferson at the age of 33 when he wrote the declaration of independence, have served define a basic ideal of the united states throughout its history. much of our history has revolved about the definition and redefinition of the concept of equality. about the attempt to translate it into practice. what did thomas jefferson mean by the words all men are created equal. he surely did not mean that they were equal and or identical in what they could do, or in what they believed. after all, he was himself the most remarkable person. at the age of 26. he designed this beautiful house in monticello, supervised it to construct and indeed is said to have worked on it with his own hands. he was an inventor, a scholar, an author, a statesman, governor of virg

, bloomberg's mike mckee has more. >> philip jefferson doesn't speak very often so when he does , peopleo listen and he a message for the markets. he could cut this year, but don't expect much. that is going to be an important part of discussion. jefferson saying if the economy evolves broadly as expected it will likely be appropriate to begin dialing back out policy restraint later this year. that tracks with pretty much what everybody else in the fed has said. he goes a step farther and warns against excessive easing in response to falling in lucian. excessive easing can lead to a solving or reversal in progress in restoring price stability. jefferson says he has three concerns out there, things that may influence the outlook for monetary policy. consumer spending can remain strong pectin and push-up inflation. labor markets can weaken as growth needs. and then there was always the geopolitical risks out there that could cause an inflation shock. don't count on too much this year and once we do start to cut, don't count on us going too far. >> it's interesting, bond markets, not too mu

it wasn't just radical republicans saying this, everybody at the time knew jefferson davis couldn't be president and that any office included the presidency. >> to oversimplify, your reading of section three really is members of congress who are not officers, electors who are not officers and, and all officers. >> that's exactly right. that is our reading, just as gabriel. i see that our 20 minutes has expired. thank you. >> all right. mr. olson, when you are ready. >> thank you very much, mr. chief justice and may it please the court. trump levies two types of complaints against the finding below, but neither should disturb the district court's holding that trump engage in insurrection against the constitution. first, he complains that the district court's finding that he engaged in insurrection was unsupported by the facts, but he ignores the worst facts that make clear the district court was correct to find that trump gathered, summoned, and incited a violent mob that stopped the constitutional transfer of power on january 6. >> mr. olson, i am going to stop you there because i thin
