that tiny, tiny agreement in jefferson well, this tiny was saying over the last few days, israel has stepped top bass, drag st guys over the high restaurant health ministry, says they've killed more than 80 palestinians mixed feelings among thousands celebrations at the news of a ceasefire. mixed with doubts that will happen and tends to sadness. it everything that has been lost, that trepidation is backed up by events since the announcement that is where the air strikes pumping to celebrate to be moved. taking the lives with them the deal is supposed to come into force on sunday. the on certain days ahead and making some here novice. again, we must remain cautious. we were afraid that could be an even was not boston before i saw him anything of it. the next few days could be even more difficult than the whole of the last year. i am in the middle of summer. we just hope the blood should stops by sort of others and noticing the positive impacts. the news has already had on the everyday lives. the price of the sponsored vegetables used to be 30 seconds now it's 5. the ceasefire. news h

jefferson davis is still in montgomery and he makes a call for 400,000 soldiers for three year terms. what was the response to that? mr. hamilton: welljefferson davis recognized that the war was rapidly becoming very serious. and understood, unlike lincoln, that 75,000 wouldn't do it. so, he calls for a much, much larger number. and that is a number which will then increase and increase through the war. the thing about, i should say, about lincoln calling up the 75,000 men, is that they were only called up after three months. that was another terrible mistake. you know, you could barely put up tents in three months, let alone train completely inexperienced civilians in the art of war. so, yes, lincoln can start responding, if you like, in increasing the number. but all that takes time. and, you know, the war gets interesting because in terms of our two presidents, because jefferson davis knows what his own strategy is and how best to fulfill it, but lincoln is unsure as to what is the best strategy. he has a commander-in-chief who really wants to hold back and prepare for a much longer struggle, and meanwhile squeeze the south econom

and yet at the same time you note that madison and jefferson have different views of why conscience is unalienable. tell us. and i know can do it so well. what was jefferson and what was madison's views about why freedom of conscience is an unalienable right? and what are the consequence of their views? well, thank you for the kind words. i hope my audio is fixed. i'm sorry the problems earlier. i hoped my writing was better than my audio. the idea of a inalienable or unalienable as the founders would say. they said the worship according to conscious as a unalienable right. what they meant by that in simplest terms, and to oversimplify somewhat, is that it's we owe those obligations, our obligations to worship according to conscience, to the creator and and we don't cede over control over how we ought to worship to the government. and this is why government cannot legitimately tell us how must worship or punish us not worshiping. government license preachers. government can't say you may or may not be a preacher. and the reason is because we don't give that authority to the government. we don't alienate authority over our religious bel

jefferson davis. you say he was well read, made determinations based on intellectual examination rather than emotion, and, davis had never favored real succession -- secession, he was not a revolutionist. >> i think that is true. it is not that he was particularly happy with the way things stood in 1860 when the presidential election for the united states president took place, but he felt that secession, given how small a possible confederacy would be, he felt that secession would be a mistake. after all, he was a united states senator for many years and had been a united states secretary of war. so he could see those two aspects, military and political, and his view was that the south would have a pretty tough time surviving if the states of the deep south actually seceded. but he was a soldier and that is what fascinated me as a military historian, he was a soldier, through and through. so when he was appointed, later on he was elected but when he was first appointed as president of the confederacy, he simply obeyed orders, so to speak peter: peter:. did jefferson davis throughout his life have a l

jefferson, and my friend, david. so great to have you all here, as well. so as of last night, we had more than 1,200 people registered either in person or online for this event. [ applause ] we've never had a response quite like this. paul, i have a feeling, but billy, i'll tribute to you, as well. i know some of you, many of you are on zoom. some of you may be in overflow rooms during the day and evening. but please be patient, stay where you are. stay tuned, because the conversation, the commentary and the performances are going to be truly amazing. again, billy really liked fdr. maybe because fdr was the first president to actually embrace contemporary music. yes, his favorite singer may have been kate smith. at least that's what he told kate smith and the king of england during a visit to hide park. but maybe he had kind of cooler tastes when he was staying here in town, because he was -- and he ran his presidential campaign from here. fdr was the first presidential candidate to choose his official campaign song from a modern source. "happy days are he

area, that's a popular public golf course not far from the washington monument, from the jefferson memorial here as well. so, to give you a better sense, i should give you the idea that we haven't seen some of these helicopters above with the spotlights. excuse me? in about 20 minutes, we saw them just out behind us, flashing these giant lights onto the water, looking to see what debris they might see, what survivors they might see, doing everything in their power to try to save anybody who may still be in that water, but recognize at this hour the water temperature, we are told, is just above freezing, likely 35 degrees. that means for any survivor who is still in the water, they would have had to survive for more than three hours, which is a very challenging circumstance given the hypothermia, as we understand it could set in within 15, perhaps 30 minutes with temperatures this cold at this hour. but what does provide a bit of hope and a bit of an opportunity for these rescue crews at this time, as i get out of the camera's path right now, is that the temperatures in recent days have thawed here, whic

it to how jefferson, thomas jefferson and john adams were pitted against each other, but at the end of their lives they wrote each other with the correspondence. he said, wells do, but we're doing what we can to help people in need and show the bipartisan spirit of america. and last thing, it is a day of national mourning, and i am positive that if jimmy carter was alive today, he'd be thinking how can we end up helping the people of the palisades fire going on. he would not be blind to the suffering going on out there, and he'd be thinking of how to rebuild or help people in need through this extraordinarily grim crisis that's ongoing. >> thank you for mentioning what's going on, of course, in l.a. county. i want to bring in margaret bre bre brennan. he had relationships with some democratic presidents. >> he did. he was put to use by those presidents where he had some frustrated relations at times, bill clinton being one of them. at times they butted heads but clinton send him on a number of missions to north korea, to other framings, because he was willing to think out of the box. i think of that biblical phrase blessed be the peacemakers. carter built a

george mason, richard henry lee and patrick henry, as well as the continued health of thomas jefferson and john adams lafayette himself was toasted numerous times. we mentioned there were over 30 toasts that were given, so we will not be doing a transcription of every toast that was said that night. but lafayette was toasted for, fought and bled for liberty in america he proclaimed. liberty in france, making long and happy live. an example posterity and in return raised a toast to the city of alexandria, wishing her prosper, liberty and happiness more and more realized the fondest wishes of our venerated washington in the home that lafayette used as his residence. and alexandria belonged to a woman named elizabeth lawson and the home is located just around corn on uth asaph st. it was completed in 1819 and it was considere i bieve still is considered to one of the finest homes here in the city. the honor of hosting laf was an issue so serious that it was taken up to the city council where the lawsons was selected due to its size and grandeur, and to give lafayette and his traveling par

when mike johnson is sitting in the well of the house and attribute add prayer to thomas jefferson, whicha bald faced lie, okay? a bald faced lie. so they started with a lie. they are going to continue to lie. and they are going to end with a lie. so let's be very forceful and let's be very upfront here. and the billionaire class in this country his exercise such power that they got rid of the cartoonists at "the washington post," okay? they are having editorial sway over a cartoon that runs. i grew up with conrad, studied thomas nas. david shipley, what happened under his watch is a disgrace to journalism in america. i don't know how into guy could get up in the morning. >> she wit, to be clear. she quit. she made a statement -- >> right, because they wouldn't run her cartoon. >> that's right. >> i don't blame her for quitting. >> all right? if you are a journalist, if they sit here at msnbc and tell you, you can't say anything about the trump tax cuts because executives might get him, you are going to walk out the door. >> that's right. no one is telling me that fortunately. i can trash

i often think about the standard we should measure how well we are doing as a country is how thomas jefferson, george washington, alexander hamilton, john jay, john adams, how would they feel they're walking around washington d.c. today? these are men who deeply disagreed with a lot of questions will enjoy the founding of our public but they agree on one thing that at the very least the lawmakers and policymakers we elected should actually be the ones making public policy in this country. so, against that backdrop today i am here to announce how we will revive the promise of the constitutional republic with the three branches of government rather than four. that is the purpose of our meeting today. we are going to get into a level of detail that is to this point in the last half-century on unprecedented which i believe will spawn nothing short of non- incremental reform a revival of the ideals of the american revolution and how we actually restore the constitutional republic. first, it will be a plan that reduces the size of the federal employee headcount by over 75% from the next president b

well. then in may 1856, things picked up around the 1st of may, jefferson, buford came to kansas with about hundred armed, pro-slavery men to make sure kansas become a slave state. he had sold 40 of his slaves in alabama to outfit these men. and he to do what he needed to do to make kansas a slave free. got worried. what's to happen? john brown one of them and he did a little in work. one of the things he did during life, he was a surveyor and he had his tools with him in kansas. so he pretended to be a federal surveyor near one of their camps. and they thought he was a pro-slavery man like they were, and they told him what they were planning on doing sweeping the pottawatomie of free staters. it appeared that there might a massacre brewing, a free state massacre. things picked up even more. on may eight oh, when brown, john brown's father died at his home in hudson, ohio. john revered his father. he loved his father and he hated being away from him out kansas maybe feeling guilty. around the 20th, a letter came from back east that said, your father has died. i'm sure you can all imagine wh

i often think about the standard we should measure how well we're doing as a country is how thomas jefferson george washington, alexander hamilton john jay, john adams how would they feel if they were walking around washington, d.c. today men by the way who -- deeply disagreed with a lot of, a lot of questions. relating to the founding of our republic but they agree on one thing that as very least the lawmakers and policy policymakee elected should be the ones making public policy in this country. so against that back drop, today i'm here to announce how we will revive the promise of that constitutional republic with three branches of government rather than four. [applause] that is a purpose of our meeting today. and we're going to get into a level of detail that is to this point in the last half century unprecedented i believe will spawn not incremental reform but a revolution a revival of the ideals of the american revolution -- in how we actually restore that constitutional republic. first, it will be a plan that reduces the size of the federal employee head count by over 75% of on the ne

please welcome, margo jefferson. [ applause ] >> thank you very much. wait, are these yours? >> okay. [ laughter ] well very proud to be in this company. several of the passages i was going to read have already been read and not to mention -- no, it's fine. not to mention the perspective of both mr. mirapol and mr. margolic. so i am going to focus, in part, on its historical -- its place in the evolving history of -- of jazz which -- the term itself is always debated. so, all right. just a little cultural placement. a little repeating. from the left, a popular song, a collaboration of jewish and black artists and progressives, too, and radical leftists. the idea that it made its way from the -- the communist party magazine would not publish it, right? okay. they wouldn't, but teachers union, it made its way from the teachers union on the left to barney josephson who was a leftist nightclub owner to popular -- to popular music is in its own way phenomenal. american music does many things wonderfully, but it's that space we often call nightclub music or tin pan alley or musical theater really tends to sp

and finally, to richard's point, we need a well-informed electorate. as as i think, jefferson said.ree. i think, you know, we have all these requirements in school. i we really need to teach history. every school needs to teach history. some of the best schools in america don't require their students to even scratch the surface of american history. world history. so civics. yes, i also man, i know it's really unpopular, but wouldn't it be something if after high school. >> yes. >> we looked at a year of national service. 100% something that would actually bring americans together, bring young americans together to understand, to build that community for the strength of america and understand that we have so much more in common than we don't. so we'll see. but anyway, thanks to heather cox richardson, she she just always not you know, i don't want john meacham to get jealous, but she, she just she she has great, great insights, great historical insights. and this certainly was timely. >> that was good, joe. but you're no john meacham. so we'll move on now to. no, that was good. >> we

jefferson, madison, all they need a washington. right? i mean, they got the whole founding father thing. what's happening? >> caller: wellmember -- new member of your club. >> yes! >> caller: steelworker. >> oh, my gosh. >> caller: and with all that's happening in the u.s. -- with the u.s. steel company now, especially in light of today's news, cleveland cliffs did, who i used to work for, their bid to u.s. steel might still happen. >> i was into the company, trying to get them to come on the show. here is the problem honestly. the steel stocks are the worst stocks in the market. i think you could buy the stock and if you are want to go take a point or two down, it's okay. but you have to accept the fact that's exactly what could occur. and that, ladies and gentlemen, is the conclusion of "the is the conclusion of "the lightning round" >> announcer: "the lightning round" is sponsored by charles schwab. anagement skills in the biz. tech asst: actually i'm seeing something from schwab. (uh-oh) producer : yeah, schwab lets you invest and trade on your own. and if you want they can even manage it for you. not to mention, sch

the austerity of federalist times, that if washington, or adams, or jefferson had walked into the house, in many ways they might very well have felt at home. >> walking in the footsteps of tr, using his legacy on the home. at one end of the state floor he takes the east room back in time, and at the other, he modernizes the state dining room to fit his needs for a place to hold vigor official dinners, enlarging it to its size today. >> when you walk into that state dining room, on one level it was simple. on another level it was grandly simple. >> it's hard for people to imagine that that dining room is a third larger than it was when the house opened. the north end of the room was once the main staircase that led to the second floor. >> by eliminating a staircase today, 120 to 140 people can be squeezed into that space. but it created much more impressive place for state dinners, four occasions of state. >> the wall paneling and there is almost all original to theodore roosevelt, as is the chandelier and the sconces, the chairs, the big eagle form side tables that are around the room. the only thing that teddy roosevelt

jefferson. he was a connoisseur of fine wine, french, italian because before we kicked british -- [laughter] he had a huge wine cellar he went into debt to develop and hebrew his own beer as well6-foot two so when i drink, i tend to write checks other people have to cash. [laughter] 's height be beneficial to me. >> i love that. i went to community college in my favorite president was george jefferson. [laughter] got that wrong? [laughter] which one are you drinking with? >> andrew jackson. somebody tried to assassinate him and the gun backfired twice. what did he do? he beat the crap out of the guy with his cane. one 100% true. he beat the hell out of the guy with the came after somebody i ied to take a shot at him an want a drink with him. [cheering] >> i would be afraid to drink with him. [laughter] >> you got to meet his brothers, tito and jermaine. much nicer. what you got? the mark take a shot with, not a shot at. ronald reagan because he's the best. an actor, sort of a comedian. he wrote jokes on index cards, i love it. think about the endless number of cocktails you could have that would be jellybean inspired. [cheering] >> nancy. [laughter] >> nancy would have cut the

well, sometimes that's certainly true. >> i think some presidents really have fared better with time. >> others, like, you know, thomas jeffersongets at a couple of things. >> it takes a long time to actually assess a presidential legacy, the legislation and the policies that they put in place often take years, if not decades, to fully bear fruit. >> this was certainly true with some of the difficult decisions that carter made, and could be true with some of biden's legislation. >> i also think that sometimes we just don't have all the details. a lot of stuff is still classified, and so we need to get that information to have the full picture. >> and lastly, sometimes who comes after them shapes how we think of them. >> george w bush looks a lot better now in comparison than he did when he left office because of who came afterwards. >> well, i mean, immediately after him. >> president obama 100% true. >> absolutely. >> as i think even the next republican, the next republican, there were t-shirts made of george w bush saying, miss me? exactly. so you i keep saying you are the historian because you are the you you are the histori

jefferson had written to a friend who was italian. and in it, you know, it's him. yeah, yeah. okay. yeah. and it which he referred to. well doesn't use washington's name but he says the i'm going to get the names wrong now the stamps sit in the field in the solomon, in the cabinet. is that right. i might have gotten the order wrong, but basically what he was saying was that washington had been emasculated and sure born and enslaved by the british. criticize. is it public criticism of washington was never a good idea. but to that extent was a really bad idea. and the letter had actually been written a couple years earlier, but was finally published in the first year of adams presidency. and what it did was to harden partizan lines. it made it very clear that jefferson was a republican figure. he was not going to be a member, a productive member of adams administration. it increased the federalist attacks on jefferson and the attacks in response by the republicans an immediate very for adams to get anything done in a bipartisan fashion. yeah, that's where you need to call h.r. late in the game adams changed his cabinet memb
