we talk about nixon, we talk about kissinger, we talk about john quincy adams. i want to invoke a name we have not yet invoked, and that of course is donald trump. one of the interesting things about grand strategy is the way in which it strikes me our discussions are often time catchphrases. we like to narrow down grand strategies as a way to instruct others. and we come away with lines that are useful and not particularly deep and not often subject to analysis. evaluate ashould grand strategist is not by what they say, but also by what they value and subsequently accomplished. this is why i bring up trump. if one listens to what trump says, much of it, not all of it, sounds remarkably prudent and obvious, and therefore probably right upon first glance. it is only after you subsequently feel that the surface and think about it do you see the problems. from his foreign-policy address in washington, he suggested in the same speech we need to be steadfast and always upfront and reliable for our allies. turned around the and suggested we need to be unpredictable. b

she would be the first first lady not born in the united states, since i believe john quincy adams' wife she's an interesting person. people will be tuning in for that. but the overall focus they're trying to make, what they want to push tonight is, keep america safe is their moat ttto. they want to say as a foreign policy matter, that trump and the republicans stand for law and order, for being tough, for being hard. that's the trump brand, hard, and america is in need of a little tough love. >> projecting that strength has been one of the things that has gotten him to this point. and we'll see how he conveys that to the crowd tonight. chris, thank you so much, always good to see you. see you later tonight. thanks, buddy. >>> a host of major gop leaders opting to stay home, as we said, from this event. we'll talk with rnc communications director sean spicer on what we can expect, and how can it bring the convention and the party together and move them forward, when we come back. >> i have seen more people that frankly did not like me so much, and now they're saying, what a great pick. y

presidents like george washington especially but andrew jackson or even the lesser-known ones, john quincy adams would have an oil painting done because that was customary, it was descended from the queens of england and they would have a democratic portrait in a democratic country but then there would be lithographs and prints and drawings of greater and varying quality. as you move down the food chain to the local almanacs and newspapers the quality backs let's say not very artistic so there is this thirst to find imagery which photography satisfies. so you have lincoln for the first time here in the first photograph 1846 becoming visible. he's worked his way up. he's a lawyer. he's becoming a lawyer, he's establishing himself. he's gone through this process of autodidactic self-teaching, of where all of the cliches are true, he does walk five miles to return five cents while he's working in a shop, he does learn to cipher by using wooden logs, there's a primitivism to the myth of lincoln and the beginning of the modern country that the united states is becoming that lincoln is coming ou

john quincy adams had a petal gator. >> abraham lincoln is the tallest. madison the lightest.ese are all human beings. >> did hughey get stuck in the bathtub? >> no, because he was so big, they had to order a special tub for william howard taft. it takes us in our imaginations, one step, one degree of separation to me, him stuck in the bathtub. >> you are right in terms of some of the presidents that have had some personal issues. >> yes. >> you write about that. you write it in such a way that it's not -- cellatious. that's the word. >> all of these president versus deep human flaws as we all do. then what we have to do as human beings is try our best not to make the other wrong, try our best to sort of balance these out. to understand that heroism isn't perfection but a kind of interesting negotiation between strength and weakness and that's what we try to do here. for children to understand that there is issues of race and slavery that are, you know, affecting almost all of the so far men here. there's a lot of things about finances and also of mistakes they've made. >> we

iconic presidents like george washington especially, andrew jackson or lesser known ones, john quincy adams would have an oil painting done because it was customary with the royalty and you would have a democratic portrait in a democratic country. then there would be lith graphs and prints and drawings of varying quality. as you move down the food chain the quality becomes not pretty artistic. so there was this thirst to find imagery which photography satisfies. you have lincoln for the first time here 1846 becoming visible. again, he has worked his way up. he is a lawyer, becoming a lawyer, establishing himself. he has gone through this process of auto didacting, self teaching of where all of the cliches are true where he does walk five miles to return five cents. he does learn to cipher by using wooden logs. there is primitivism which only adds to the mystery that in the beginning of this modern country that the united states is becoming that lincoln is coming out of the west. he is coming into prominence and fairly early on in 1846 he starts to get photographed. the thing that is i

i think john quincy adams' wife.ave you thought about -- being a first lady, what it would mean. >> we are in the 21st century. i will be me, i will be different than any other first ladies. i will -- i will help women. i will help children. they are our future. they need our guidance and help and also i'm involved in many, many charities already so i will choose one or two that they are very dear to me and work on that. >> when you say "help women and children" do you have a sense of how? >> well, i don't have -- i have ideas i have but let's see what happens. i take it day by day. we don't know what will happen and we will see so then we could talk. >> i saw the interview you did in 2000 when your husband was thinking about running with the reform party you said you'd sort of be a traditional first lady, you named betty ford, jacqueline kennedy. is that sort of the model you're still thinking of? >> well, i see around they compare me to jackie kennedy. it's an honor but, of course, we're in 21st century and i will

with inspection -- exception of john quincy adams white.irst lady who is a non-native english speaker. i think those things will be interesting to watch. to me, she talks about being like jackie kennedy or betty ford. parallels.mebody -- jackie on public she was a liability to her husband. she was too rich, too beautiful and that changed and she was in the white house. to the able to go restoration, open the white house to the public click television cameras. they are challenges and .pportunity susan: jacqueline kennedy also spoke french. are there any other ladies who also spoke another language? not that i know. i think that is something i could help her with some non-native english speakers. she could talk about the process of coming to this country, immigrating here. learning the language. during a part of american culture. that is something she could use and help her as she carves out this potential role for herself. the one policy area, immigration. she has a life story to tell there. her husband has been very vocal on immigration pol

reporter: john, the director of the secret service says he doesn't sleep well anyway but the pressure is on in the run-up to the rnc here in cleveland.joseph quincyays when you have a major public event, you accept that there will be some sort of an incident or emergency. the real question is how police officers and agents respond. >> every event has some incident. the key is if you have a good plant plan in place, good leadership to attack and be flexible to whatever is thrown your way and i'm confident that here in cleveland we have that. reporter: now there's a lot of control inside of what they call thesecured zone. the real fluid dynamic happens outside where police are making contact with the public. the mayor of cleveland, the police chief say that street cops are well prepared for it but the head of the cleveland police patrolmen's association has been complaining for months now that gear and training have been late and woefully inadequate. >> right now we are , we took two years to prepare for this. we had two years to get our equipment for this. we're still waiting for things to arrive for this. reporter: demonstrations are certainty, i
