we're going to stop you right there but her influence on raising john quincy adams. edith: well, john quincy lived with her until he was 11 years old in which point he went to europe with john. and she didn't see him again until he was 17 or 18. so he became a man and -- susan: under the tutelage of his father. edith: under the tutelage of his father. but she was very influential in those first 11 years. i balk at this tendency blame the mother every time something goes wrong with the children. circumstances happen. there are genes. i mean, there is possibly a genetic predisposition to alcoholism in that family. abigail's brother died of it and there apparently were other members of the family. and it's certainly was in the culture and the kind of sensitivity to alcohol. so a revolution happened when her children grew up. they grew up in wartime. that can be very, very damaging to children's psyches. the year 1800 was a very, very difficult year for the adamses. susan: a campaign for re-election hard fought against the big political rival in thomas jefferson they lost

madison in honor of james cooper and john quincy adams notes in his diary that of these awards or medallions several were struck. only one in silver which was given to mrs. madison. a carved ivory calling card case that has a card enclosed with dolley's signature as well as that of her niece anna. some small cut glass perfume bottles and a pair of silk slippers that have tiny little ribbons that tie across the arch of her foot. the portrait is a john vanderling after the gilbert stewart portrait of dolley. the two dresses are the reproductions of a silk peach gown that she wore earliest in life and a red velvet gown which is intrigues both that it lasted and it was part of this collection. there's also a legend that's now accompanies this dress. we are currently in one of the museum's secured storage areas where we have housed some of the madison collection that we want to share with you. some of the highlights from this trunk of treasures and this is one of our most special with intriguing legends as well. it's a red velvet gown. going to open it. it's protected under some special tissues a

john quincy adams, son of the guy who hated her husband.r mission to make sure he was remembered. charlie: was it his ideas or persona that those who hated him hated? lin-manuel: i think it was a little of both. he was used to being the smartest guy in the room. he just happened to be in the room with a bunch of other geniuses. there was arrogance. he was younger than all those guys. the arrogance that comes with team the young guy who thinks he knows everything. john adams was assessed with his perceived sexual licentiousness. i have never insulted and and immediately john adams talks about hamilton. we used to have a whole thing, a list of mean things. charlie: the line, son of a whore? lin-manuel: his abundance stems from secretions he cannot find enough whores to draw off. we think it is that on crossfire. it is way worse. charlie: you are moving it to broadway. thomas: we are going back to the richard rodgers, which is where we had the good fortune to do the last show. one of the things that is remarkable about this story, something th

i like it that he quotes john quincy adams. ica does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. >> okay. but we didn't have planes back when john quincy was president. >> fair enough. >> i mean. if you are going to go back-it was blunder buses that we were talking about. >> libya and syria and iraq worked out? >> you are okay with his foreign policy? you are all right with it? >> yeah. >> because it scares a lot of people. that's his big deficit. >> the others ones scare me. >> i know stossel but everybody scares you. he would legalize narcotics rand paul, would all right. >> i'm not so sure. he says the federal government shunting locking up all these people. >> okay. so that would be -- you would have to do-a major haul in drug laws and i think he would. how that filters down to the states would be more importition of narcotics. they have to get here some way. he doesn't like the mandatory sentencing for crimes. >> okay. you like? >> i do. i think that heinous people, evil people should be punished. i worse than being pun

this is the birthplace of their second child, john quincy adams, who went on to become president of thenited states. the primary link between she and john adams would be letter writing. it was from this house that he was provided a window into what was happening back here in the colony of massachusetts. during the revolutionary war. she would report to john about the militia in boston. during the battle of bunker hill, she took her son and she would watch the battle of bunker hill with her son and report about the fires and smoke. she was the eyes of the revolution to john adams and the second continental congress in philadelphia. we are in the hub of the household. this room in particular could be really considered the classroom for abigail and her four children. during the war, one must remember schools were closed down. the children did not benefit from formal education. it was up to abigail to teach lessons. not only arithmetic and french but also morality, literature, and what is going on in the revolution. she was their primary educator in the home. this is the room where many les

james madison, james buchanan, john quincy adams, or martin van buren? stay tuned and we'll tell you the correct answer. this week's book of the week is david brooks' "the road to character." i told you about it earlier. he makes his very important points about life through ten richly told biographies. it's a wonderfully written book that will make you think deeply. really a must read. and now for "the last look." the secret service protects president obama. the queen's guard safeguards britain's royal palaces. the swiss guards work to keep pope francis safe. who would have thought a rhinoceros would need similar protection. meet sudan. he's the last male northern white rhino on the planet, and he's under 24-hour protection by rangers, armed guards, and an electric fence in a kenyan conservancy. sudan and his two female companions are three of the last five members of this species in the entire world. this is especially tragic considering rhinos, often called the last dinosaurs, have been on the planet for 50 million years. the rangers are in place to st

i'm a big fan of john quincy adams the abolitionist.donated big money to help those suffering in this country and around the world. mr. dyson doesn't care about that the fact that i'm white and in a powerful position makes me the enemy. here's the truth. our traditional values in america are under siege. we're seeing dramatic changes in the definition of human beings on the abortion front in the definite of marriage and in the definition of capitalism among other things. anyone who denies that is a dishonest idiot. it is true that in the corridors of power white men still dominate. but there are many reasons for that but, if an american woman or minority tonts succeed in this country at a high level, they can. blow and dyson are examples of that below who by the way is afraid to debate me has a very good job in journalism, does he not? dyson is actually a professor at georgetown university and bloviates on television all over the place. again, the truth is that we live in a competitive society where hard work and the freedom to pursue h

the first being john quincy adam's wife. i think that is a story there campaign will want to tell. and i think the only person to tell that story is she herself. we are going to see a number of spouses, as we saw with michelle obama, having to juggle raising small children. michelle obama had an almost unbreakable rule during the 2008 campaign that she had to be there for her children either when they woke up in the morning or when they went to bed tonight. and that really respected -- restricted her travel. ted cruz's wife -- these are very very modern roles that we are seeing these women play. host: mrs. bush was not a visible first lady in florida. was she visible on the campaign trail? guest: she was involved in issues that were important to people in the state of florida. substance abuse and drug a deck's in, violence. and she did make a difference there. she was very involved in cultural activities and art activities in florida. so, she may have been quiet, and a lot like her sister in law people underestimated the value and the role that they can play. so, i think that given

you've got presidents jefferson, madison, monroe who almost got into a duel with hamilton, john quincy adamon to make sure he was remembered. >> rose: was it his ideas or his persona that those who hated him hated him? >> i think it was a little of both. i think thisqa5Ñ a=qiÑvused to being the smartest guy in the room. any room he went into, he just happened to be in the room with ben franklin and john adams and a bunch of other geniuses. so there was certainly arrogance. he was younger than all those guys. so there's the arrogance that comes with being the young guy who thinks he news everything. john adam was obsessed with his perceived sexual life. i never insulted an enemy the way john adams talks about hamilton. we used to have we had a whole list. >> rose: that line about the son of a whore. >> yes, the bastard brat of a scotch peddler. his am combination stems from an abundance of secretions that he cannot find enough whores to draw off. everything is bad on cross fires. >> a love letter to abigail. >> rose: but you're moving it to broadway. >> the official opening is august 6th but

he makes a distinction between the indian policies of monroe and john quincy adams and jackson, he sayse monroe and adams were much more respectful of treaty obligations, but jackson viewed them as subjects and not as people. so, i think that answers part of the question, why you can say this is andrew jackson. but for andrew jackson, any -- indian policy would have taken a different turn. he may have come up with a similar result, but it would have been perhaps really different. they were two different approaches. professor feller: would it have taken a different turn? i'm thinking out loud here. had the indians not been removed -- not been all the other things that removed is a nice euphemism for. if i understand correctly, and maybe i don't, what we are bringing up here is the tension between the individual explanation and the national explanation? to what extent are jackson's characteristics, is his mindset and his actions typical or reflective of what the country is or it to what extent is it just him? have i got that question right? would it have been different? certainly in some

loved one's marriage if it was a gay wedding or jeb bush worried about being compared to john adams or john quincys. >> which gop contender needs a good showing in new hampshire to get a bit of a boost? >> i think they all do right now. and new hampshire's kind of anyone's game at this moment and there is a crowded primary field and it's very unpredictable. if you have someone like chris christie winning new hampshire would kind of be the key to any path forward that he might see i think. someone like marco rubio is kind of looking for his breakout moment, you know, that scott walker had at the iowa freedom summit, so it's incredibly important, you know, to each of these potential candidates and candidates like marco rubio who have already announced. but, you know, to robert's point about hillary clinton i think what you'll see from the republican candidates is that people actually walking in to, you know, fast food restaurants and shaking hands, you know, actually being honest about the answers that they're giving not lying about their grandparents being immigrants and, you know, not having these
