was madison's mom's best friend. she says madison was always sweet and a little different. >> i remember we had a birdhouse that my mom had brought over, and she was going to put it in my backyard. the other kids run, go, play, have fun, oh, mom needs help? whatever. >> not available. >> not available. madison's like hey, do you want me to help you do it? >> school was a battlefield. madison was picked on, the scrawny kid and a bit of a lo loner. >> he was always doing his own thing. >> everything changed by madison's seen jor yenior year school. he sprouted to almost 6 feet and had less time for dad and mom. >> madison was very social. he had a lot of friends. >> hannah trailer and madison grew up in the tiny town of eclectic, alabama. >> he was always like the class clown, like really goofy, trying to make everybody laugh. he might get in trouble for talking too much in class. >> as madison crossed over into the land of teendom, his parents found themselves without a map. >> during senior year people are turning 18

and out of the disagreement with madison and jefferson to some extent. and out of the coral in washington.the government should be running one way and that was the elected politicians and the voters should go home believe that politicians alone. and madison in particular was thinking about it they really believed that were subject to criticism and that made washington crazy that's in the original divide between washington on the one hand and the three younger men began. >> which did you most admire? >> which they like to have lunch with? >> it has to be jefferson. >> i would have assumed it was madison. >> that's different. what kind of an experience mr. had been to have jefferson talk about his experiment with a series of government and according to one woman who talk to him earlier in the presidency she had no idea he was the president-elect and then be very pleasant but i do admire madison more and not subject to a whim in a very don't thinker the were studious of them all pussy had a wonderful wife dolly was really an unusual person in her time and s

but even in madison that madison participate in college debate societies and prepare them in ways for public life so in this age to see them just pop off on twitter all the time with the lack of decorum is there a way we can recapture that to prepare the young people for engagement in the public sphere and the expectation of what it means to participate in those? they had very distinct sense of public dignity which seems to be lost today. >> i do think the atmosphere in virginia encourages people from a very young age to participate in public service so when they were very young and with the actual legislation so that help them that we probably should not overestimate the composure and that they later demonstrated which often involves lyrics that you were not repeated in front of children. they had a lively time at princeton as well as learning a great deal from a great man named john witherspoon. >> one question for you mr. vice president. thomas jefferson was among his accomplishments serving as vice president how would you describe his tenure? >> he did not do a thing. [laughter] >

you are right, it was also punishing and so madison went home. washington whenever he could, but i think it was six years that washington was gone from home during the revolution. at one point, madison spent far more time at a boarding house in philadelphia, then he did home. i think that reflects the feeling that they each had. they were-- feeling as though you were part of something bigger than yourself. that was very attracted to them, so while they nearly always broke in the end and no doubt that was part of the fact that they had been absentee landowners for so long. there were many many reasons. you know, if you had asked them the choice would you rather have had a life in which you died well-off then have had a life where you could create a great nation, i'm pretty sure they would have chosen the latter. >> interesting. another reader points out that this sort of network of men that you discussing your book like these for titans of the river virginia dynasty. there were other networks as well, you know bostonian adams and quincy and hancox

she was three or 4 inches taller than madison. didn't seem to care that she were plumes in her turban they were probably a foot taller. he loved her extravagance. the incredible ways that she dressed. she had one outfit that was pink velvet and decorated with many chains but everyone noticed that there were some women were distressed that she showed so much of her bosom. one woman said to another writer that she use a handkerchief. it is certainly the most revealing. she was just out there. in the current environment i can't help but talk about something that's current. this was ruth bader ginsburg obviously it's set at a situation for a fairly bitter fight in terms of picking a replacement. there was times in your book when there were conflicts between the members but those of us who read history of the era have a tendency to think were working hard doing good things. and not spend much time. or be aware of where there was conflicts among them. i wonder how that crew would look at this whole question of employing a justice before

how is the chinese factor weighing in madison? do you have a lot of chinese students in madison?uest: i do not think that the china question is registering at a very strong level among wisconsin voters. i mentioned it in the context of the trade war, how it has affected rural communities, but that would be about it. it's not one of the central issues. in terms of voters, asian americans statewide is it low single digits, around 4% or something. we do have a fair number -- fa ir number of foreign students at the university of wisconsin. it is down this semester because of covid. quite a few of them did not end up coming for the fall semester because of covid. so, aagain, it is not -- foreign student cannot vote, so that is not affecting the election results. but in terms of the policy question, do not see china as being one of the central issues, as we talked about with the previous caller, that foreign policy is not up there with the most important issues. host: joe biden will be in georgia today. we will have coverage today at 1:00 p.m. of his campaign event, here on c-span, on

madison is less. so even if you combine a few counties that madison and milwaukee sit in, it's far less than half the vote in the state of wisconsin. the rural vote is a big deal we saw that in 2016, the swing in the rural vote was how donald trump won wisconsin. there is a big urban vote and suburban vote in wisconsin and a big rural vote in wisconsin. these are not monolithic. the rural vote in wisconsin is not monolithically can serve it in or republican. there are role counties, particularly in the west that have a long history of voting democratic. trump,d vote for donald but often by small margins. they swing a lot. some could swing back. the cerumen vote is not monolithic. we have very republican suburbs around milwaukee which are probably getting a little less republican, but also extremely democratic suburbs around madison and just north of the city of milwaukee and very purple suburbs in parts of southeastern wisconsin and the green bay fox valley area. so as much as we talk in broad suburba

she did even better in madison in the area around madison which is a very blue an important part of wisconsin. she did better and trump did worse in the republican suburbs and the democratic suburbs around milwaukee. but it was everything that happened outside of metropolitan milwaukee metropolitan madison, and that's a pretty huge proportion of the electorate and that's what she could not overcome. she also arguably didn't try really hard. i mean, wisconsin notoriously was a state she didn't visit. as the general election nominee, and you just didn't see the effort put in to wisconsin that democrats have put into the state in those other two nailbiter elections of the last five you alluded to, which would elections of 2,002,004 when al gore and john kerry put a tremendous amount of time traveling in the state come not to advertising on television and going to small towns, going to western wisconsin, northern wisconsin. heart of this was just the sheer difference in the amount of energy and effort that democrats put into this state four years ago. .. or is it they mail it out in weeks but you

that's madison. elsewhere, they still need folks to volunteer with about 50 other communities in wisconsin that still need volunteers. if you are listening to me from wisconsin right now, if you are watching this show from wisconsin, you should figure out whether your locality and where you live might be one of the places that needs more poll workers. if you are able to volunteer, your country needs you. also, as i alluded to before, there are some specific parts of ohio that need more poll workers to volunteer as well. some counties are fine. lots of people are volunteering to serve. most counties, in fact, in ohio have enough poll workers, but according to the state, out of the 88 counties in ohio, there are 16 counties that still need more people to come forward and volunteer. so, more still to be done, but it did it. it is heartening. it is heartening to see so many of our fellow americans stepping up, not in a partisan way, necessarily, but in a small "d" democratic way to do their part to make

madison: yes. lemonis: okay. madison: i know their style. i know their kids.: that's clienteling. like, "oh, my gosh. this came in. i know suzy's gonna love this." and then you're putting it in a box. you're calling her up and be like, "i know you're a working mother. i'm sending you the most amazing box, and you're gonna love everything. you're gonna wish i sent you more." julie: i never thought of that. that's a good idea. lemonis: do you have a database that puts people's information in? julie: no. lemonis: how do you communicate with them once they leave? brenna: i tell them -- i say, "hey, guys, follow us on instagram. here's our number." normally we have business cards that we -- i think we have to get some more made. lemonis: today with web-based technology, you can input customer information in a database and send them offers based on the size they wear, the kids they have, their birthday, their anniversary, the colors they like. it's the very specific targeted marketing known as modern day clienteling. the good news is this market is wide-open. doesn'

>> professor madison, you're shaking your head no. i don't think he got a kind of support he wanted or deserved in the conventional politicians. a little -- it comes from the senator from indiana, james watts, who said on hearing of wilkie's nomination, it's all right if the town prostitute wants to join the church. but she shouldn't be asked to sing a solo on the first sunday. wilkie was an outsider to senator watts, he was an outsider to many of the professional republican politicians. they never ever trusted him. they never got behind him. >> to go back to that speech and indiana. just north of where we are here. he said, you republicans. how did that resonate within the rub humble can base? >> some of the notice that they were called you rather than us, we. because he wasn't a republican hero tip prior to that speech. he was a democrat. >> charles, joining us us from savannah, georgia. >> thank you, thank you for doing this program on wilkie, i think it's very important because i believe he was far ahead of his time of any issues.

they have thousands of people in the arena, and i have been there, madison square garden. great sports arena. they came out. people, , they did know what to make of them. they did know whether to feel sorry for them. there was just silence. the game began and one of the guys in a wheelchair all out of the chair and there was this gas all throughout the garden -- gasp. what happened was very important at that moment. he turned around, grabbed the wheelchair and he muscled himself, pulled himself back in the chair, set down and restarted yelling at the referee, from what i read in your book, and started yelling and complaining all of a sudden everybody started cheering at madison square garden. if you think about who these men were, regular guy said been wounded in the work, came back, still have a lot of fight and a lot of spirit, and they were not done yet your so that was very important to me when i read that in your book. >> just to add to that, when you think about it, before the war the president of the united states franklin franklin roosea polio patient and used a wh

. >> is there any symbolism and the paintings of the room of marbury and madison? >> marbury and madison is -- is -- probably the most famous case this court ever decided. it reminds us that we have a responsibility given to -- not give into most judges in the world that is what we call judicial review for constitutionality. we interpret statutes most of the time. but sometimes the question arises under our higher statute than the constitution of the united states. all people who served government taken oath, to support and defend the constitution. but this court has the last word on what that constitution means. that is not the typical pattern in parliamentary systems, where the legislature would have the last word. on what the fundamental instrument of government means. the idea judicial review for constitutionality i think is implicit in the constitutional document. but jon marshall, made it explicit in the great case of marbury against madison. >> let me just ask you a couple of more questions. about the conference itself. explain to us that room and what happe

jefferson and madison opposed the alien friends act on three grounds. one was the national government lacked power. as adam said, as a matter of supreme court doctrine, we no longer believe that although i would say there are those of us who believe the states have residual power where what they do has not been preempted by statutory enactments by congress but the second two objections are still alive and well. one has to do with process, whether people can be deported without a hearing and we have constant arguments about that on the border with mexico today, many of the trump policies have to do with trying to cut back on the rather time-consuming process from the point of view of the administration the process is so cumbersome today that they can't do it quickly, don't have room to keep these people so they release them into the country and they basically disappear. that is the administration's story, not that different from arguments at the founding. the third argument was the alien friends act was excess of delegation of power, that is a very live

even dwight eisenhower was really reluctant to embrace a more madison avenue driven style.initial thinking of dwight eisenhower like his announcement speech. when he was announcing his candidacy in abilene, kansas. he turns out to a park in abilene. it is raining, it is stormy. everyone tells him, we have television cameras set up. you need to go into this bond to deliver your address to tv audiences across the country. and he says absolutely not. i am going to talk to my supporters here. and he was proud that they came out to support him and he wanted to connect to the audience that was in front of him. and so he endured the wind and the rain and all of this was captured on a camera. and here is what it looked like. >> [ applause ] >> 40 odd years ago, i left abilene. since then, i have seen demonstrated in our own land and in far corners of the earth, on battlefields and around council tables, in school houses and factory and farming communities, the indomitable spirit of americans. looking back on the american record through these years, i gained personal inspiration and

as you know, a friend james madison had a great deal to do , in support of that bill. but you were there at the constitutional convention. you did learn of my particular concern, though i was 3000 miles away, that our constitution have a bill of rights that would then keep the government, the federal government of our nation, in the hands of the people. of course madison and i , contested upon this. he did not think the bill of rights was necessary. but we know that the constitution was finally to be ratified with a bill of rights amended to it. and the first amendment so necessary. and i think, evolving if i may use the word, from the statute from virginia for religious freedom that congress shall make , no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. so, barbara, if you're asking me for my own particular religious opinion, i can safely say that i remain on the vestry of saint ann's parish in have tomorrow county, virginia -- of admiral county virginia. county, virginia. that was where i was baptized. however, as we began our a

madison, of course, and we know, general hamilton. so i too, but less than yourself, cannot make excuses. i hope i've provided a clarity and i cannot condone it. i know for myself, general, that the future will be harsh upon me and they have every right to be. mr. washington: you know, thomas, i was listening to you speak and i was thinking that it is my fervent hope that our guests can, at the very least, understand the context of our time. you know, both of us as younger men read about the ancient romans and the ancient greeks. and sometimes we would, in our reading, wonder what were they thinking? how could they do that in their day and time? because we struggled with understanding the context of those ancient dates. and i think that it is appropriate that at least that voice be heard, which is that, had we raised the issue during our constitutional convention, it is without doubt that georgia, south carolina, north carolina, and perhaps our beloved virginia, would have gotten up from the table and turned their backs on the union.

he announced it with great results and affect in 1803 in marbury versus madison. the second was to ensure the court was treated with respect i encouraging it to seek -- speak with a single voice. after mick: was decided and he engaged -- mccullough was decided, marshall talked about dissent. the course of every tribunal must necessarily be the opinion which is to be delivered as the opinion of the court is previously submitted to the consideration of the judges. if any part of the reasoning be disproved, it must be modified to receive the approbation of all before it can be delivered of the opinion of all. marshall was dedicated to the having the court speak with a single voice. but into this peaceful habitat became william johnson. jefferson's first appointment to the court. one can only speculate how he was licking his chops at the opportunity to put someone on the court who was not a federalist. and in particular who was not john marshall, his distant cousin who he despised. the enmity was a leitmotif from the 1790's on. in a strangely prophetic letter to james

here's madison, wisconsin. madison poll workers sign up in droves ahead of november election, city of mad, wisconsin, hired an unprecedented 6,000 poll workers this fall in anticipation for the upcoming november 3rd election. that's a total that dwarfs recent election cycles. the city the clerk's office says applications will no longer be considered because all 6,000 positions in madison have been filled. this year's turnout almost doubling that of past presidential election cycles according to city officials. that's madison, wisconsin. that said, elsewhere in wisconsin, they still need more folks to volunteer. there are about 50 other communities in wisconsin that still need more volunteers. if you are listening to me from wisconsin right now, if you are watching this from wisconsin, you should figure out whether your locality and where you live might be one of the places that needs more poll workers. if you are able to volunteer, your country needs you. also, there's specific parts of ohio that need more poll

there were over 100 ballots in the sweltering july heat in madison square garden. they ended up with a candidate john w. davis. in the midst of the chaos, three-time presidential loser william jennings bryan, a year away from his grave, had taken to the podium, reprimanding the rowdy tammanyites, saying if the present democratic party failed in its historic mission against privilege, quote, some other party will grow up to carry on those issues and take our place. but, he added, that new party will never find the leaders of a noble cause in the gallery. it surely would be carried on but not by these big city hooligans. and this is the key. which direction was the democratic party poised to turn? to the past, to bryan, to the klan, or to some unknown future? we take for granted today that the democrats were going to become the party of fdr and of liberalism and eventually of pluralism. none of this was clear in the 1920s when the plank rejecting the klan got rejected. they couldn't even reject the klan by name in 1924. the previous election, their nominee, governor
