of a hungry world and to the heretofore trackless voyage of space. it is the new frontier, and they explore a story beckoning to what thomas jefferson called the inimitable freedom of the human mind. the poet john gillespie mcgee. understood that exhilaration as to a lesser degree, have all who flaunt and attract a new frontier and a new place surely felt and understood by our own beloved colleague bill nelson, who only such short days ago experienced the various fame. and he wrote all i have slipped the surly bonds of earth and danced the skies on a laughter silvered winged sunward. i have climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split cloud and that one did things. you have not dreamed of, wailed and soared and swung high and sunlit. silence hovering there. i've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through fruitless halls of air up, up the long, delirious, burning blue i've topped the windswept heights with the easy grace where never lark or even the eagle flew and why i was silent lifting in mind i have trod high on trespassed sanctity of space put out my hand and touched the face of god with hearts heavy and trauma and deeply felt sorrow. the nation today pays honor a

the declaration of independence. now, this is not you may think the original that would have been signed by benjamin franklin and jefferson and john adams and all of those gentlemen back in 1776. you can find that at the national archives in washington. but this declaration of independence is still a really interesting one to see if i can hand over here. this is the we call the stone engraving and we call it that not because it's honestly stone, but because a fellow named william j. stone back in eight, in the early 1820s, was commissioned by the federal government to produce a copy of the declaration of independence. the document. a lot of the things that are on paper in ink and parchment, they can kind of fade over time. they can be difficult to read. and during the administration, they want it to be mindful to preserve the declaration not just its message, but even how it appeared for us for future generations. so that actually a really interesting, complicated process. i love to get into that for you folks. so when we get a little more time to dive into the history of some of these documents, but this a great look because we c

of independence. it's actually oldeharrisr than t is john locke. it's the entire enlightenment thinking that made democracy possible at a time when kings of their power from god , john locke, tom jefferson and other thomas jefferson, other enlightened leaders came out and said, man, getz'som inalienable rights from god ,t not from the king. king and not government and not from government.os and those rights are life, liberty and property. for john locke.erty life, liberty and pursuit of happiness from thomas jeffersone . that is the founding of our our nation. that's the genius of our nationi . that doesn't come fromalev a jun or an elected official or evenmu a president. it comes from our creator. these are brilliant men ,atural natural law. la werey were right. all right. all right. thank you, kellyanne. always gooe d to have. straig >> now, straightht ahead tonigh, crime wave is continuing to play both big cities and small towns all across this country. l including an attack on one ofn our very own fox news meteorologist. wil we'll explain. we'll check in with judge jeanine later. velma, froecm vegas is back. and she gave me the see back the last time, the lowest grade i've had in th

so john has been the author of his truth is marching on john lewis and the power of hope, destiny and power the american odyssey of george herbert walker bush. thomas jefferson. the of power american andrew jackson. in the house, which won a pulitzer prize by the way american gospel and franklin, winston and others. his latest book and was light abraham and the american struggle. so random house book 676 pages and highly illustrated and is $40 and if you purchase this book while you're watching the show or afterward you might be on either c-span or on your channel. i lincoln bookshop, youtube. you will get this crafted book right that we have and that's our logo. it was produced by carl sandburg all those years ago back in the 1930s and john has these signed for and for you. so john, i want to begin by saying that the book design was really and we didn't expect how wonderful the design is. it's one of the real selling points behind beside your writing and for us, of course the goal and this is placed on beautiful as well. i love the paper and in our shop we have enough of them though to call what we're calling a show of eyes from the gardner photograph. you

of the investigation the attorney general is looking into. >> john: rich, thanks for the update on that. fairfax county public schools at the high school level, thomas jefferson, number one public high school in the country reducing the number of asian students who were eligible to attend there, and now this. >> sandra: it's going to be fascinating to see where that goes. i think a lot of people are paying attention to that, john. a great story. meanwhile, brand-new questions after one of the idaho murder victims surviving roommates waited hours to call police after opening the door multiple times. a woman experienced a similar situation with attack on her roommate, her sorority sister in the 1990s. she says she completely understands why the roommate froze in idaho. >> john: and president biden's border visit, the streets were different than the migrant camps we have seen for months. byron york says it only made his handling of the border situation worse. byron joins us next. >> he spent the vast majority of his time at a port of entry. that's not where the problem is. we are not seeing the chaos at the port of entry. we are seeing it between the port of ent

the principals say they are sorry there was an error and are investigating. >> john: bill magurn, a member of the wall street journal editorial board, and started with thomas jefferson high school, number one public high school in the nation, said oh, unique case of human error. now up to 13 schools. some people might say one school is a mistake, 13 is a conspiracy. >> yeah, let's remember two facts. most of the affected students, especially from thomas jefferson, are asian-american. and thomas jefferson is in the midst of a controversy how it changed its admissions to admit fewer asian-americans to make room for hispanics and black students. so they are the context for this that kind of belies the innocent explanations of the officials. maybe the attorney general will find out that it's all just bureaucratic mistake, but their actions so far in everything else create a lot of distrust. >> john: the attorney general who was on america's newsroom this morning did not suggest a hard and fast connection but did suggest that this happened about the same time as thomas jefferson was heavily invested in equity. listen here. >> you know they hired an equity consultant, pai

of the adult papers here. john adams was a president of the american academy of arts and sciences for a long amount of time, at the same time the thomas jefferson is president of the american philosophical society. and i would love for someone to go forth and write about those two presidencies and the scientific networks generated. that is just my -- to researchers. >> yeah, absolutely. and, jefferson dispenses the american philosophical society at the same time but he's present at the u.s.. so he is president of both at the same time that he is commissioned seeing the louis and clark expedition. and, he has members of the abs work with mayor weller luis england clock to help train them in serving, in botany, and so forth. so as you are saying, i think it would be a great project. >> it is fascinating. if you look at the election of 1796, jefferson is just writing. but among the haitian fly committee, that is more interesting. so i think looking at the scientific pursuits of the founders is such a rich topic to explore. okay, back to our wonderful questions. let's see. was a museum or cabinet that particularly surprise to you in the course of y

john jay, george washington, thomas jefferson. alexander hamilton. james madison. ben franklin. all were slave holders. john jay's influence on the founding of the republic is is hard to underestimate. he was the inaugural chief justice of the us supreme court. he was president the continental congress during the war. he was secretary of foreign affairs after the war, and he negotiated two of the nation's most important early treaties, the 1783 piece of paris that confirmed our independence and the 1795 treaty with great britain that bears his name, the jay treaty, to this nature, to this day. he's also one of the principal authors of new york's first constitution and one of the leading advocates of the ratification of the us constitution in this state. and as i already mentioned, he was a two term governor of new york, his anti-slavery resume is not quite as spectacular, but really important. as i said, was the first president of, the new york manumission society, one of the first anti-slavery societies in the western world. he was governor, as i mentioned, when new york passed its gradual emancipate in law in 1799, freeing children born to

of the atoms papers here. is that john adams is the president of the american academy of arts and sciences for a long amount of time at the same time that thomas jefferson is president of the american philosophical society, and i would i would love for someone to go forth and write about those two presidencies and the scientific networks generated. that's just absolutely the researchers. yeah, and i mean jefferson is president of the american philosophical society at the same time that he's president of the us, so he's president of both at the same time that the he's commissioning the lewis and clark expedition and he actually has members of the aps, you know work with marijuana mayweather lewis and william clark to help train them in, you know, surveying and botany and forth and so as you're saying going to be that would be a great project. it's fascinating. i mean if you look at the election of 1796, jefferson is just writing, but i'm on the hession fly committee. that's way more interesting. so i think looking at the scientific pursuits of the founders is such a rich topic to explore. okay back to our chat our wonderful questions. let's see was there

jefferson. >> president of your convention. >> benjamin harrison. >> richard lee. george washington, fairfax county and gentlemen who needs no introduction mr. patrick henrynd, ladies and gentlemen, delegates of the virginia convention,. >> author john talks about abraham lincoln as a peacemaker and the plans he had for post- civil war america. here's some of what he had to say. >> one question i often get, 16000 lincoln boat as you well know, why you, why now, why this? i found a quote from the general who led the occupation after second world war and he was the son of george and senator and the reporter asked him, will guide your decision and that successful occupation, the rarest? he said i tried to think what abraham lincoln would have done for the south if he lived. that quote was the seed the book came from. it stems from fascination about how we go about winning a piece after winning a war, something we struggled with this century. also the question of how we defend democracy and what leadership it takes to reunite a divided nation and that's an extension of my previous book, especially washington post, how we think democracy from those who would divided, what leadership, a soulful leadership, radicals and reactionary and wha

of the names that we can see on in these records. so you'll see names such as john simpson several thomas jefferson's age jefferson davis a private h25, but all so more traditional names like cubby or ehan tubby or hiyo. kanubi. you see these blended names right where there's a euro a european route of a name, but then combined with choctaw language name and then you also see surnames of prom families within the choctaw political arenas so the fulsom's laforce and mccurtains are important families that produce district or principal chiefs and the choctaw nation during the 19th century. so again something as simple as these names on these enlistment records can reveal a broader changes that we're taking place in choctaw society. the age data on soldiers from the first choctaw and chickasaw mounted rifles also provides some opportunity for comparison with similar data on american soldiers and i'll just summarize to say that choctaw soldiers the average age of enlistees was just a little bit older than the average age of enlistees in the union army and then based on what little data we have on confederate soldiers. that jim mcpherson ha

john milton cooper and dr. tom knox put together the on behalf of the presidential library exploring wilson, lincoln and jefferson and race. and you can actually purchase the book from the university of virginia on the essays that were given. and it was such a -- so fascinating to read those and to be able to see even in 2006 the conversation that we were having. interestingly enough, there wasn't as much interest in that as there would be today. so it's something that we definitely strive to really it forth those very, those conversations. >> i'm glad you mentioned that book, robin. all of the essays in there are brilliant, and i can say that because i didn't contribute to it. one that i will particularly mention to people on this episode here is by the late manning maribel who wrote probably the best overview of wilson and race that i've ever seen in a short, maybe a 20-page article. a very prominent african-american scholar, biographer of w.e.b. dubois, one of the, one of the best critical examinations of wilson's record on race that i've read. i think still probably the best certainly in that, in that small s

. >> john: a lot of people have an idea what this is about, and the push for equity keeps coming up. your son as we mentioned is a senior at thomas jefferson should have gotten notification of the national merit scholarship in probably mid-september, he did not get it until late november after he applied to some colleges he wants to go to to study engineering. you spoke with a fellow named brandon about it. what did he tell you the reason the things were delayed? >> i spoke to him shortly before thanksgiving and told me they had delayed giving these to the students because they wanted to find a discreet time to hand them out to the students where they wouldn't feel so bad if they did not get the award. >> john: what does that mean even? >> it's -- we have a fundamental problem, john, the schools have stopped focusings on academic excellence. if the school was focused on academic excellence as opposed to the other things they are focused on, they would have handed the awards out immediately, so exciting when they received them. they wouldn't have been worried about the students feelings that didn't get them, not worried about how can we do
