when you go and sit in the white house, we were in the lincoln bedroom.you are walking through the president areas on the top floors of the white house. it's just you. it's a big deal. you sit down. you don't get to just pick your seat. they don't trust you to do that. they tell you exactly where to save. there's a little card engraved at the picture of the white house on it and says mr. meltzer was the biggest card you see in your life. as i sat down, my first thought was i'm totally stealing my card. mrs. bush was first lady at the time leaned over to me and said come you know, brad, all of the novices try to steal their card. i was like look, mrs. bush, ruth pater ginsberg. and i totally took my card in my card is absolutely in my house. i got it, i stole it. but again, i was walking through the west wing and we were doing about party and we got to go in the west wing. should we put on his desk? it's my one regret that we didn't. we would've gotten in so much trouble, but it would have been worth it. the only other place is a friend of mine worked for

lincoln's bedroom. apparently when they removed the floor, he just fell down through the floor and he is waiting to go back up. [laughter] mr. daniel: i love the internet. more importantly, you see the truck and bulldozer. when they got to this phase and construction, they wanted to knock out the stone walls to get these in and my grandfather would not let them touch a stone on the outside of the white house. they eventually dug down deep enough to where they had a tunnel that went under the outside walls and up, but at first he made them take those bulldozers and trucks apart and carry them in piece by piece. they tried to use a lot of stuff. they had a lot of wood left over in the figured they offset the cost by selling pieces of the white house as souvenirs. the even have little boxes to make souvenir kits. they even have suggestions, you can make a nice gavel. what i love is in the lower right, the number seven brick could be cleaned up to make and even prettier number seven brick.

early the next morning, stanton was in the back bedroom as lincoln died. stanton supposedly said, right after lincoln's death, "now he belongs to the ages." i say supposedly because i do not think stanton said that. there were detailed accounts written about lincoln's last hours and last minutes and death right after the assassination. some of them appeared in the newspapers, some of them were in private letters, including a long letter by james tanner. of those accounts mention stanton saying anything right after lincoln died. what they describe is how lincoln's pastor let everyone in prayer and then people dispersed. those words first appear in print in 1890, when lincoln's areetaries hay and nikolay publishing their biography of lincoln. -- i'm not 100% sure he did not say it. hay was there, it is possible. i think if stanton had said anything so memorable, it would have somehow survived in print before 1890. of 1865,k to april stanton was incredibly busy in the days and weeks that followed the assassination organizing the funeral in washington, d.c. or
