with a few exceptions john adams never met with john dickinson. with a few exceptions, even when they disagreed on important issues they have some respect for their colleagues. i'm old enough to remember a time in washington when edward dirksen and lyndon baines johnson who might i disagree on the senate floor but then they would get together in the evening and work out a deal or tip o'neill and ronald reagan even. so there is something i think that we need to do something about that. not have these folks drive home every thursday afternoon and raise money for the next election campaign. >> and compulsory alcohol. [laughter] >> that's right. >> my favorite story if you will allow me about chief justice john marshall was it sounds like you did the exact same thing. he persuaded his colleagues to live together in same boarding house and they would discuss supreme court cases over the marshall's favorite drink which was madeira and all would get busted all the cases were unanimous. [laughter] then of course there was the famous moment when marshall l

john adams i don't think. but other than that -- i mean, i really think that john adams was -- r. 21st century congress. i think that patrick henry is ron paul. i think truly that the two-party would love of patrick henry. he -- in the opening days of the first continental congress he made this speech arguing for representation and the congress, which he was defeated, saying we're not just virginians are new yorkers. we are all american. that gives an impression of the continental minded politician. what he was mainly concerned about is protecting the interest of the most populous colony in america, the colony of virginia. all of his career, his primary devotion was to defending the interest, first of his colony, and then of his sovereign commonwealth. so i think he gets along really well. really think of all the 18th-century politicians, though one consistently through his career who is most consistently supporting the tea party ideals is patrick henry. >> what distinguishes temperamentally dickenson, the com

we're going to be meeting with /thoepl them in the next two weeks to talk about making the john adams campus parking available in the evenings for residents, as well as the blood bank and target area so we can increase the number of spaces. we don't have the exact number of spaces that that would bring to the area, but we are really committed to convincing these particular organizations with these parking lots to make them available to the community. we also will be suggesting to the residents that they consider implementing /rez den /-rpbl parking permits because one challenge we have is we have people who park there, they leave their car there for weeks and they don't even live in the neighborhood so implementing residential parking permits could really help. we're thinking about changing side street parking from parallel to die ago diagonal which could increase parking. at is this point, as i said, you know, the project has been approved and my goal is to try to figure out a way to deal with the access ability issues, the parking issues so we can strike a balance. lion's share of t

and from the add in, john adams community college across the street from me where most of the esl classes in san francisco are held, there are a lot of /phaoepl who drive there, and they do have a parking lot, but it doesn't work so in addition to neighbors who don't have parking, you will also have the people who don't speak english trying to find parking will also have problems. i strongly suggest this be [inaudible] on the neighborhood and maybe this just isn't quite the way to go. on a secondary level, the last set of plans i saw including some lovely planters on sidewalks and i've raised the question several times since i received notification of this happening as [inaudible] for them. i know when the city decides they don't like the sidewalk in front of my house, i pay for it. am i expected to pay for that too. i'd like for someone to give me an answer. >> i don't have anymore cards, so if anyone else would like to comment on this item, please line up by the gentleman standing by the window. >> my name is robert. much like my friend howard over there, i have mobile issues. when i wa

john quincy adams and luisa would inherit this home. johns quincy thought about selling this house but after discussion and thought with luisa they decided that this was important to the family story, to hold on to this house for future generations. >> prior to the election of 1828, rachel jackson enjoyed a brief time of retirement at her home sharing with close friends and a lot of family. >> they came to this property in 1804. he was just sort of retiring for a while. so when they first moved here he spent a lot of time at home. the primary people who would have visited prior to the war of 1812 would have largely been friends and relations from the area. she had a huge family and they all had lots of kids so there was a lot of them and they were in and out all the time. and rachel is very close to her family. jackson being an orphan grew very close to rachel's family. emily donaldson, the house she grew up in, is less than two miles away from here. after the war of 1812 when she becomes this national hero, there were people here all th

and it was then both sam adams wasn't there, john adams wasn't there. they needed someone from the boston committee of correspondence to show up and try to calm things down. and in samuel adams' absence, a new person began to emerge as one of the leaders of the boston revolutionary movement. and he was a young doctor named joseph warren. 33 years old, he had been an act lite really of samuel adams for more than a decade, and he had gained more and more of a public presence. and where -- and he was a different kind of guy from sam adams who sam adams was almost two decades older, had a different approach. joseph warren, there was a charisma about him. and i'd like to read a passage in my book that describes warren as he was -- pause the quest went out -- because the quest went out that he come to cambridge. so he and some other members of the committee went to cambridge to try and quiet things down. they were successful in this. but it was a key point in which this young 33-year-old man, joseph warren, stepped to the forefront of the patriot movement. and

well, i was really fascinated with the story of louisa adams, she was such a strong woman back during the jane austen era. i became intrigued with johnadams because he was down on his luck. he lost the job of his dreams and had to go to russia of all places, yet he uses that opportunity, makes the most of it, and it really resurrects his political service career and it puts him on track to be president. i was drawn to their stories. >> as a presidential historian, you're talking about one of the great presidents. you're talking about one of the pivotal moments in american history. when you look at what is happening right now in washington, d.c. with this president, this congress, this senate, give us your comparison, your thoughts, your emotions on the contrast. >> well, what strikes me about today is how heavy laden that the bureaucracy is. everybody is hiding behind the person above them or below them. there's a bureaucracy. when john quincy adams was a diplomat to russia, he communicated directly with the president of the united states through letters, and directly through letters to the secretary of state. we've lost a lot of tha

[laughter] >> that is another issue. she would have a very interesting memoir, however the point is that there were at many women at least two or witnesses or involved in the american revolution. but we don't know that much about them and the accounts if we have from those who are left in mrs. loring is a perfect example among others are very scant. there are only a few. we we know for instance that there were women spies and we get a few sentences here and there and women during the lexington and concord when the british were marching, we know american patriot women through -- down on them to

>> john adams said one-third of the population at the time supported the revolution. one-third supported the king. larger in some areas like the new york area. one-third were indifferent. doesn't mean two-thirds of the people were willing to live under a king. i've come to believe in my old age that's always been true. two-thirds of the public are more concerned with their jobs and own security and welfare than what could be called freedoms and the values of our republic. >> i have one quick final question. are security and democracy and secrecy compatible? >> yes. we don't have to choose between security and freedoms and privacy here. when he inherited this system of tremendous invasion of privacy here and continued it, that didn't surprise me. but it is dismaying how many democrats have swung over from opposing this was done under president bush to supporting it, the exact same program, when it's under obama. it's a partisan matter that does no create. i'm speaking of senator feinstein. when senator widen has complained about this for a number of years, but told us

quincy adams promised henry clay secretary of state for his vote. how could this john quincy adams, who spends all of his life disavowing any ambition about politics, how could he stooped to this kind of politicking? we do not know the answer to that until we look at what catherine adams is doing. from 1818, she instituted the social program every tuesday night, bringing people and to washington. -- into washington. she has a great line, mr. adams, john quincy adams goes over my calling cards every day as if they were a battle plan. when you look at what she is doing, this historic mystery is solved. it was their wives who acted as campaign managers. >> we get to the house of representatives, adams wins. all of those men had been entertained by adams. one of them went back to his boarding house where he promised where he would not vote for adams on the first ballot. they will not let him sit down to dinner, because they are very mature -- [laughter] one of them writes to his wife, everyone says his wife made him do it. >> she instituted something -- she would hold thes

[ buzzer ] >> oh. my hot pop cd for her. she'll love it. here you go, honey. >> you see the cheers. actually it was the suburb of chicago. >> it was. i saw the eye roll, too. a real house built in 1921. it's a big house, over 4,000 square

one of the most rprising things i discovered in the book is john adam was quite radical throughout thechanges his thinking toward the e of it. >> conservativism itself, give us your viewtoy of what statement its in. i have to tell you, i can't always recognize a conservative. >> i think these conservatives i write about offer two lessons. e first is tt they compromise, they fought tooth and nail for this country, let me emphasize that. they fought tooth a nail for this country. they mpromised for the go of the nation. they put patriotism befe politics. they were facing a world of changing definite aphics. theyey were losing voters as fr men from the lower classes and the middle classes, the right to vote. these conservatives started losing their vote. theyad toffer one thing to get their te. th was prosperity. they said we will bring free market capitalm to america. it will make the people strong and rich. >> tse modern conservatives as we look around us, prososper us brilliant, engaged? >> conservatives face a simil tension today, how do you deal with the complaining lector at and sta

paul brought that moment to life in the film "john adams." >> prisoners must be judged solely on theinst them in court and by nothing else. and the evidence we have heard speaks plainly enough, gentlemen. a sentry's post is his castle. to attack it by english law is an illegal act. soldiers so assaulted may defend themselves to the death. >> well, it is that tradition we see in the coming trial of dzhokhar tsarnaev. led by this woman, while the concept of the right to counsel is old, the right to counsel for all people, including all poor people is fairly new in this country. in march we mark the 50 year anniversary securing that right. recognized the right to court appointed counsel. gideon has been diluted to some degree, an empty promise for marginalized defendants. they are increasingly assigned lawyers underpaid, overburdened and prevented by our system and spending choices for having a reasonable amount of time to work on any case. shortage of funding led to a shortage of public defenders. they now spend an average of six minutes per case indigent clients for arraignment accord

i was a schoolteacher here up up up up at john adams high school back when i was the cutting edge ofeducation. up we have one of my teachers at a sitting over there. up up up up up up up. .. up i got awarded 44 years after i said it. this gentleman came to me for an autograph of another book and asked me if i struck out and strike anybody out? i said i only pitched one year. we looked it up and i sent him a clip. it i wasn't in the record book. >> my son played at ucla i was looking at the record book, it didn't compare with santa barbara. your record was in santa barbara's book. i told the media guy about it. >> yeah. it's in there now. i look it up every damn morning to see! [laughter] woo hoo! [laughter] my question is about your rex of -- recollection of integration of baseball the effect on the negro league and how it dismantled the negro league. >> exactly. once jackie robinson made the negro league and was a star, they hung in for a couple of more years, but they stopped existing. there is some, i mean, you know, they sometimes talk about, well, if they put in the guys that us

john quincy adams' wife. he was a really impossible person. she would write letters to old john adams about what was going on in washington to amuse him, to make him happy. she wrote one letter saying "it is my vocation to get john quincy adams elected president." the m the beginning, politics were there. >> it is interesting when we look at what the women are doing, it opens up a sense of what political process. that's what i hear both of you saying, that we understand this idea of process. camagna it a becomes clear that they are running for president. >> so this is something we'll read in our history books. but it is this moment before the election of 1824 where apparently the very uptight john quincy adams makes a deal with henry clay. he won the majority of the popular vote. so the assumption was that jackson would win. but it became jackson-adams -- clay. so clay being the third dropped out -- i'm sorry. it was jackson and crawford and clay. so clay, being the bottom man is out of the running. and he's a very powerful member of congress.

tom ridge -- i guess that you are john adams. i only mention that because -- not only are we changing and growing very fast -- we have seen some things of all over this short amount of time. when we started we were concerned with terrorist plots and attacks similar to 9/11. terrorists taking over commercial airliners. using them to fly into buildings. aviation attacks and plots have not gone away. this has been part of my time at the department. they continue to change. the sources from where they come continues to change, but they remain with us. but fast-growing alongside is this area of cyber capabilities, connectivity -- and cyber attacks. how do we secure the country in the best possible way while respecting policy and civil liberties and the other values that we hold? this is really the challenge that is presented to us. so we have been growing very rapidly in the cyberworld. when i started it was a fairly small element of the department, the department was engaged with other threats but as we have grown -- this has probabl

the secretary of state at that time, john quincy adams, was running for president, and there was a lot of sort of politics that went around it. and there were also concerns about the british and whether the british were using this abolitionism campaign as a kind of cover to advance their desires to control the oceans. and that had been a long source of tension between the u.s. and britain. one of the causes of the war of 1812 was the way that the british navy would board american ships, would conscript americans onboard and say, hey, actually we don't think you're really american, you're british, and guess what? we're drafting you into the british navy to fight in the war against france. so this had long been a tension between the u.s. and britain, and it was not politically popular in the u.s. to sign a treaty that would give the british the right to search american ships if they thought they were participating in the slave trade. it did go to, a different version of the treaty went to the senate. the senate attached a bunch of reservations or changes to it including a provision that

calhoun, the vice president of the united states under john quinncy adams, and andrew jackson's first term, and jackson declared the formula where the line of 3620 would be tolerated and even encouraged to protect it, but secession or any reduction of the prerogatives of the federal government opposite any individual state would not be tolerated, and he carried that proposition in south carolina, and he cared it out, and that effectively, and i don't think -- there's no evidence this was in andrew jackson's thinking at the time, but it effectively enabled free states to be strong enough deem gram of cocainely and -- demographically and economically that when a show down happenedded years later, the country was able to suppress the insurrection and abolish slavery, and that would not have happened if the south attempted to secede in jackson's time successfully. if they attempted to secede and i think not possible to suppress them at that time. >> host: the second section, predestined people, 1836-1933. what are you trying to relay? >> guest: a tremendous period of growth. of course, th

john adams knew that facts are southern things. -- sovereign things. they get used as tools or weapons, but they wait for us. we must seek them with the lamp of truth and put them into words, but you and i speak different languages in this republic. you speak the language of power be, of pen, purse and gavel. i speak american grassroots, the language of liberty, the providence, property and civic virtue. we seldom speak together about the rule of law unless it is ignored or violated. now is such a time. i have a story that bridges the distance between my state of california and this capital. what i say here must be said here. pilgrims brought to this continent a lamp of liberty. they persevered for righteous freedom. we sit here in the shadows of washington, jefferson and lincoln. we visit here memorials to those who failed in service to this country. they persevered for righteous power. the spirit of patriots living in dead grants me the right to be here. it is my duty as an more americn citizen to speak here today. in october 2010 the san fernando va

calhoun who was under john quincy adams and andrew jackson's first term. jackson declared the formula whereby slavery would be tolerated in the missouri compromise line of 20 and would be tolerated and encouraged and protected but secession or any reduction of the prerogative of the federal government opposite the individual state wouldn't be tolerated. that effectively -- i don't think there is any evidence this was an andrew jackson's thinking of the time but it effectively enabled the states to become strong enough demographically and economically that when a showdown did happen 25 years later, the north by the narrow margin and the brilliant leadership in the country's history was able to suppress the insurrection and abolished slavery. and that wouldn't have happened if the south had attempted to secede in jackson's times successfully. if the had actually attempted to secede i think it wouldn't have been possible to suppress them at the time. >> the second section of the book, predestined people come 1836 to 1933. what are you trying to relay? >> a tr
