the john hay initiative, a group that is trying to prevent iran from getting nuclear weapons says the deadline established by the president and world community is approaching. a couple weeks the away. every indication is that shoulds the administration strike a deal with iran, it will fail to stop or even set back in anye's significant way the regime'sth nuclear program. and then iran will be a nuclear country with a threshold to be able to wage war with nuclear weapons. is a deal at any cost so important to the administration? >> no, it's not and shouldn't be. i don't think the g iranians are -- should get another year to put a nuclear weapon on a missile and fire it. but leaving that aside, why not communicate with this?le roosevelt did that with stalin? we hated the russians. wea joined togetherte to fight a common enemy. i think if iran is going to join us --'s the attacks by this grop on iran is real and they're worried about it and they want to stop it. >> out of your mind if you thine iran has anything other than getting a nuclear weapon so that they can at least threaten israe

stories about mary with her clothing -- and this is found in the memoirs that lincoln's secretary's john hay and john nikolay, was that her dress bills allegedly ran to $27,000. and that she began to hit up republican appointees during the 1864 election telling them that if they wanted to keep their positions if her husband was re-elected, they needed to somewhat contribute to her dress fund. i think today we would call that the wardrobe slush fund. but one of the things that had her concerned and probably legitimately so was that her husband's re-election in that time of turmoil was not guaranteed, and she was terrified of the possibility of them leaving the white house with her owing that kind of money and her for the knowing where their income was going to come from if, indeed, lincoln was not elected president. which brings us to one of my favorite first ladies. frances folsom cleveland. frances or frank as she was known by her family was 21 years old when she married 49-year-old grover cleveland who was a bachelor. when they got married. we are getting ready to celebrate the 150th anniv

hay uses it regularly. i cannot refrain from tendering you. lincoln doesn't use that. i found a letter just before in which john congratulates a general and his promotion. i cannot refrain from congratulating you. i thought, that's all very interesting. then i looked and see what was lincoln doing at that november 24th. he was writing his -- he was like my students, he was behind in his writing assignment. he was preparing his annual message. don't bother me. he gets this letter from the governor of massachusetts saying, i have this constituent who deserves to be recognized. john, take care of this. lincoln could write a very beautiful letter of condolence as he does to the parents of ellsworth. but it's pretty clear, given all those -- the scrapbook and then there was another at the library of congress, one at brown. i was a journalist on the side at that time. i would clip out when i had an article published, i would put it in a scrapbook. why would he do that unless he had written it? i was accosted on the high holy day out in springfield, february 12, by a high ranking member of the judiciary who said, i do

deporting freedom the interior of the country, which hay didn't like because the basic republican strategy is in the house, not all republicans, not anna, not john mccain republicans but the conservatives, they want the imminent threat of deportation over every undocumented immigrant to be reestablished as part of the -- as part of their political strategy and they're angry that that's been removed. the second point i'll make is, look, we could have a majority republican senate and i think it's very likely we'll see a bill passed in the house and a bill passed in the senate, could pass in the senate, that revokes executive action and tries to repeal -- challenges all the executive action measures that are taken and reinforces that they want to revoke the prosecutorial discretion authority that's removed over the undocumented immigrants in the interior. we should expect we may see the most hostile anti-immigrant legislation we've seen in the last 20 or 30 years take place over the next 12 months, six months, 12 months. it's already the position of the house republicans because the two things they voted on in 2013/2014 -- i'm sorry if i'm being a
