martha washington said in a letter to the house manager that rum may always be had, imported from a distillery locally in alexandria, virginia, but also from the caribbean. part of the economy, bringing in hired workers to get some of their wages in rum, and people who received rum for anything from childbirth to getting a cow out of the mire. it's one of these moments where you can see how different groups of people who you don't always think of in conjunction with each other interact around an item that's part of everyday life. >> when and where is it invented? prof. smith: i argue in the book that rum was initially invented in barbados, in the early to mid-17th century, when europeans from england and scotland as well as native people from south america and africans arrive in barbados, within about 18 months of each other. there is a moment when people want alcohol, all those groups of individuals were used to having alcohol, but they were far removed from where they had lived previously, and certain overhols don't travel well in the atlantic ocean. so there are people interested in making

so where these are the sites where it's decided, everybody wants to be george washington or martha washington or abigail but it takes thousands of men to an answer those questions whether they're successful or not to be noncommittal. any of these places are monuments that talk about what we have done and that's a question i ask when you're in a car for air conditioning on and you decide and you go back to the coroner say others uniforms here on, but take a moment and realize that uniforms are being shot, and not being fed, not being paid fighting for a white is in america on so that is what drove like grad school and continues to drive me, so any battlefields then. >> you don't even need to be in a battlefield to think about the sacrifice, just a few blocks from here you can see the tomb of the adnan revolutionary war soldiers so very narrow check that out check it out, if you have anything billy? i'm gonna take a very lazy approach but i feel meaningful, if you want to learn why the revolutionary war is important step outside, just prevented, look around you see those buildings and people li

it is said that george and martha washington, all these guests come in. they had guests there all the time. it was snowing that day, he didn't know them but he didn't want to change or come down with dryer clothing. he gets swollen, can't really breathe, the doctor says there is only one solution. cut the veins and get the bad spirits out. that doesn't work. he had two unusual provisions. of all the founding fathers, the only founding father who said i want my slaves freed upon my death but there was a proviso, upon the death of my wife. how would you like to be martha washington, sitting there, knowing that the slaves know that they will be free as soon as you die? she ultimately freed them quicker. secondly he said don't bury me for two days. why is that? is that a religious thing? the reason is he was afraid of being buried alive. the doctors were so bad in those days that very often they put you in a coffin and you weren't really dead. that is why they put bells in the coffin and you were supposed to bring it if you were still alive. that is where you

byron york. >> thank you. >> martha: washington examiner. always good to see you. >> thanks. >> martha: also here, mr. davis hanson from the hoover institution. great to have you back as well. thank you for being here this evening. one of the things that nancy pelosi says pretty much every time she speaks about this issue is she quotes benjamin franklin as he came out of constitution hall and she talks about the beginnings of the constitution of our country and that the people requested what kind of government do we have. is it a monarchy or a republic. he says it's a republic if we can keep it. and i would like to ask you, you know, sort of both sides i think have different perspectives about what we're watching unfold here and whether or not the republic and the democracy and the electoral process in all of that is at stake here in different ways for different sides of this whole big issue. >> yeah, i think what we have to do is look at past protocol and traditions. we've had in my lifetime two impeachment proceedings. one that did not impe

how would you like to be martha washington sitting there knowing that the slaves know that they will be free as soon as you die quex so ultimately she freed them quicker. he said don't bury me for two days. the reason is he was afraid of being buried alive. doctors were so bad that very often they put you in a coffin and you were not dead that's why they put bells in the coffin you were supposed to ring the bell if you were alive dead ringer term comes from. turns out he was dead. >>. >> so thomas jefferson. >> and had a high pitched voice and had a relationship with sally hemmings and makes it prettyal incontrovertible. so what about sally hemmings? and then said i had a stepmother who cannot marry again. so he had two daughters one of them he brought to france when he was ambassador. that dad was so young nine or ten to have somebody escort her over and that was sally hemmings. thomas jefferson saw her and had not seen her because she was a slave and at the time i believe she was 14 or 15 the age of consent in virginia was 12. it was raised from ten. when he saw her he saw his wife

how would you like to be martha washington sitting there knowing that the slaves know that they will be free as soon as you die. so she freed them quicker. [laughter] he said don't bury me for two days. the reason is he was afraid of being buried alive. the doctors were so bad in those days that they would put you in a coffin and you were not really dead so they put bells in the coffin you were supposed to ring it. the term dead ringer comes from. it turns out he was dead. >> by thomas jefferson a great man and a great writer not a great public speaker he only run one - - wrote one public speech as president of the united states. but he had this relationship with sally hemmings which was denied for a long time by people that i think now the evidence makes it incontrovertible that it happened. why? his wife on her deathbed said i have a stepmother. do not marry again. he was 39 when she died he had a total of four daughters. and then to daughters because one of them he brought to him france and the other one wanted to come over was sally hemmings because he escorted the daughter she w

let's bring in our ringer, abc's martha raddatz who is hosting "this week." she's down in washington. martha, good morning to you. let's start with this impeachment saga that's going to begin to publicly unfurl in washington on wednesday. do you think the democratic presidential candidates are correct to wring their hands publicly about the fact this process could be a distraction, one that really ultimately could impair the party's odds of retaking the white house? >> i think it's a distraction. it most certainly is. it's a very important event on capitol hill. there will be a lot of attention focussed on that. but indeed, people won't be following the race quite as much, and i loved hearing whit say that he's out there, and he's talking to people, and they're not concerned about that. they want to talk about issues, but you can be certain reporters are going to continue to ask those candidates about impeachment, and how it is impacting the race. there's very little time before iowa and new hampshire. if these impeachment hearings go on and on and after the holidays, then they have

. >> martha: okay for "the washington post" reported something that i know you guys have shot down, that the president wanted bill barr to go out and sort of publicly vouch for him with regard to this ukraine situation. they also reported that there is a bit of distance on all of this between the white house and the justice department. is there any change in the relationship where the president supports attorney general bill barr? >> no there's not an exactly what you said pay the president may clear this morning that "the washington post" piece was a fake news and in full of anonymous sources and as such, there are the adjustment department did look over the transcript and their criminal division and they said publicly that the president did nothing wrong and so i think what the washington riposte reported it was more callous intrigue. it's unfortunate the media continues to try to find a palace intrigue when there is a lot of other things that they could be covering. the one guy during the russia program of the president was openly frustrated that attorney general jeff sessions was not

back with us again, bret baier, chris wallace in washington. martha: chad, start with you in washington. >> good morning, bill, what reverberated the testimony by david sondland, gordon sondland the ambassador to european union where he talked about a quid pro quo to release the aid. republicans were first sympathetic to sondland. listen to devin nunez, the top republican on the committee. >> ambassador sondland, you are here today to be smeared. you will make it through it and i appreciate your service to this country and i am sorry that you have had to go through this. >> a lot of republicans started to question exactly what gordon sondland knew. here is a statement from morgan ortegas, state department spokeswoman for secretary of state mike pompeo. sondland never told pompeo he believed trump was linking aid to investigations of political opponent. any suggestion to the contrary is flat-out false. republicans really started to get their hooks into sondland during the hearing later. listen to this exchange with mike turner, a republican of ohio. >>

bret baier is here and chris wallace joining us from washington martha maccallum and john roberts in new york city and ken starr in dallas. as the hearing room is filling up adam schiff has been seated. the question this morning is do democrats feel like they are building their case with the public hearings this week? do republicans think their strategy is working? >> that's the big question that after today everybody will look at when you pull back and the democrats will have to ask themselves was this worth it? did it move the ball at all? when you look at the numbers out there the president's approval rating numbers shoring up even increasing in some of the battleground states in polls we've seen recently in michigan and wisconsin. what is the response from the american people to all of this? is anybody actually moved from the position that they were in before all of this started? it feels like both sides are pretty dug in on their response to all of this and do they think that anything that has been discussed so far meets the measure of impeaching the president. nancy pelosi didn

i must say to you, martha, i was there in washington then and watching all of that.e in the house was very different. it was a very sober proceeding. it was a sense of gravity about the whole thing there were not members of the house running out to the microphones after every day's events and announcing their collisions as you saw eric swalwell doing right here with you. even though he insisted he had an open mind. that wasn't how it was then. and there was a sense that impeachment is a drastic step. there was a sense that you know, it's going to be very divisive and has to be gone about with some care. nancy pelosi had it right in the beginning when she said it's got to be bipartisan. well, it's not. it's not a bit bipartisan at this stage. >> martha: you can only wonder if she -- if she feels like she did the right thing. she sort of gave in to the pressures that were around her. and she said well now that this -- now that we have this transcript and this piece of information, it's very clear. the phone call that we need to move forward. but 59% of americans in the

and bret baier in washington come along; come martha maccallum. we are following the impeachment inquiry come but first, breaking news. roger stone, former trump confidant and associate convicted on all seven counts, and now faces jail time. we don't know if there will be an appeal or not, but mr. stone is the sixth associate of mr. trump to be convicted on charges stemming from former special counsel robert mueller's investigation. his defense argued that this was all about going after the small fish, because mueller didn't get the big fish. they also lead with that stone was a serial exaggerator. that defense did not obviously hold up. convicted on seven counts, martha, ending really the last loose and of the mueller investigation with the charges that were brought. the six total associates charged, through that investigation. >> martha: we are hearing that the sentencing is going to be on february 6th at 10:00 a.m. coffee roger stone, who was an advisor to president trump, an outside advisor. sort of a confidant over the course of the campaign.

bret baier, chris wallace in washington. martha maccallum live in new york city and.lways a pleasure to be on. deirdre: what do you want to learn today, sir? >> well, today i think the hearing in the afternoon is going to be more reveler to. those had more access to principals involved in the case. i said the impeachment inquiry is premature. we have not been able to gather all the fact the. in previous impeachment inquiries, previous statement of facts gathered by the fbi. we haven't seen that in this case. this morning's hearing, will see chairman schiff interrupting republicans as he has done in previous hearings, interrupting our questioning, our time to try to gather the facts. in the first hearing this morning you will hear from folks about what their opinions were of the call and what may have happened but i want to get to what did, when did the ukrainians know pieces of information? what was the reason behind the use of the word investigations. these are some of the questions i want to hear about but i don't think i'm going to get the questions this morning. b

. >> joining us from washington martha and john roberts here in new york city. martha, i'll bring you in first. what we heard repeatedly there was that there was a quid pro quo. he asked the question in his opening statement, was there a quid pro quo? yes. he testified that everyone was in the loop. his words. he repeatedly said in his opening statement that they were taking orders. he was taking orders -- following orders on multiple other occasions through the questioning and the opening statement from president trump. your takeaways. >> there is a lot here, sandra. one of the early things that gordon sondland wanted to establish was that he and the so-called three amigos, mr. taylor and mr. volker, did not want to work with rudy giuliani. he said that several times. he said it became clear to him that was the only way that it was going to go forward. the only way they were going to get the meeting. the president insisted he work with rudy giuliani and that was the only way to accomplish their goal of getting president zelensky to sit down with president trump

>> martha: here now, charlie hurt, opinion editor at "the washington times," and richard fowler, bothtors. richard, does that signal a pretty deaf message for the bernie sanders and elizabeth warren's of the democratic party? >> with the president did is make it very clear. he thinks they should be building upon the legacy of his past eight years and working to make improvements to it, instead of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. to some extent, there's a whole camp of democrats that agree with that. especially in health care. there is a clear three or four or five candidates at seeing the affordable care act has been in the american bloodstream for about eight or 12 or 13 years, let's fix the tweaks they are, and from there build upon that. maybe a public option. maybe if we to decrease the price of prescription drugs. maybe make it easier for people to have access to it. another camp believes you throw that all out and start afresh. there is where the wind in the sand exists. >> martha: charlie, i would imagine that trump supporter's were not want to hear this message from p

martha: fred flood, thank you very much, sir. great to have you here tonight. also joining me now, byron new york, "washington examiner" geopolitical correspondent and fox news contributor very good to have you here this evening. i want to hear thoughts tomorrow but i want to ask you first about this report the john durham discussed with alexander downer as part of his investigation, and this was reported in the "washington examiner," whether or not he was part of some plot to take down president trump and always we've seen so far that so far he said no. what do you see in that report so far? >> it's a big deal for people who have been following this because as you know, a lot of republicans have asked about the origin of the whole trump russia investigation. it sounds like another era given we're talking about this impeachment at the moment but it's something that republicans still haven't found out about it in the whole series of events that led george papadopoulos to be the focus of the investigation and for that to be formally started on july 31st 2016 at the height of the presidential campaign, the role

martha maccallum in new york. >> the same would be true if it were a governor. >> tucker: this is tucker carlson and washington paired the impeachment hearings on capitol hill continue as you can see, been going on all day, hours and hours and hours. we have the highlights, going to put into perspective and tell you what it means, if anything in just a few minutes but for now, we are going to dip back in just for a bit. >> would you agree that the president has the same obligation as the mayor, as the governor, as a member of congress to not withhold aid and less he gets an investigation into a political rival, mr. morrison? >> yes, sir, i would agree with that hypothetical. >> i would agree. >> we are having a debate here, both sides, as to how to read what is plainly before us. the presidential phone call where the president ignored the work of the advisors and the national security council talking points and instead chose to talk about the bidens and talk about hunter biden and ask for an investigation. we are just going to have to debate that. but isn't the principal that no one including the president is above t

. >> martha: so there is that hogan gidley standing by from the white house this evening. we begin with the democrats from washington congressman denny heck who sits on the house intelligence committee. sir, thank you very much it's good to have you with us tonight. it's been a long week for everybody. i want to ask you what your reaction is to will hurd who said he sat through all of, this thoughtfully questioned everybody, as you did as well, sir, and he says it just simply does not rise to the impeachable offense level. >> let me be real clear, martha i have a lot of respect for my friend will hurd. indeed, if all the arguments against the impeachment inquiry that have been offered thus far were along the lines that will offered today i think america would be better for it. because that's the debate we ought to be having. did the wrongdoing that occurred and that's inarguable at this point, rise to the level of an impeachable offense? i think it was an honorable argument, offered by an honorable person. and i wish him well post service in the united states congress. >> martha: meaning what? is he going somewhere?

martha maccallum in new york. >> the same would be true if it were a governor. >> tucker: this is tucker carlson and washington paired the impeachment hearings on capitol hill continue as you can see, been going on all day, hours and hours and hours. we have the highlights, going to put into perspective and tell you what it means, if anything in just a few minutes but for now, we are going to dip back in just for a bit. >> would you agree that the president has the same obligation as the mayor, as the governor, as a member of congress to not withhold aid and less he gets an investigation into a political rival, mr. morrison? >> yes, sir, i would agree with that hypothetical. >> i would agree. >> we are having a debate here,
