before we get there, i wanted to turn to mary beth. i have a short career working in places like iraq and afghanistan and other places that have a significant military presence. i was always struck by how there was always list service to coronation and playing in the sandbox but when it actually got to it was more challenging than we would have liked it's been. we come from slightly different world. how can we play better in the sandbox together? how can defense and development really tackle the issues? when we talk about causes, a lot of times were talking about what we are going to have to figure out a way to work together toward a common solution. how do we do that? >> i think there are three things. the first thing, and i think the defense communities have done this, that is except the point that governor rich made which is were not talking about individuals coming across the border who represent a national security threat. that's primarily law-enforcement and we do an amazing job of vetting. the main thing is. have to get over it.

. >> mary beth could not suddenly retired with just weeks left in the school year, after she invitedextremist to talk to students at wildwood elementary school here in chicago. that extremist on social media called himself a radical. he posted online, f him and his family. he also posted the term cp dk which stands for a chicago police department killers. he refers to cops as pigs and posted about killing all the rich people. he has hatred for police because he alleges that a chicago police officer killed his friend with a taser. supposedly she brought him into talk about his poetry and civic work but things went off the rails. >> he told them that all the police were bad and all the police wanted to kill people. i was very disappointed that someone would come into the school and preach hate. tell mike about the police. or even if he was talking about anyone else, it would have upset me. >> she wrote a letter every apology before resigning writing in part, i was present when his narrative took a turnabout policing and i immediately intervened. i care about your children and i would n

that principal in chicago, mary beth do you know that. antipolice activist ethan ethos to speak to kid at the chicago public school. ethos is a self-described radical who routinely posts violent antipolice rhetoric online. it's really not like his platform should come as a shock. why would you invite this individual to come speak to a bunch of middle schoolers? steve: career day. >> todd: here is one of the things this individual wrote following police shooting where an individual in the chicago police department was executed, ethos writes. this blank him and his family. in an apology letter to parents before retiring she wrote that she brought in ethose to write about his poetry and civic work but things went off the rails and then apologizes. i was president when his narrative took a negative turn about policing. at which point i immediately intervene. i care about your children and never internally expose them to or endorse that type of negativity. that not sitting well with parents. parents are so fired up about what's going on there.

mary, the advice. james madison then escorts the beth pari-in and ambassador walks in without anybody on his arm. we think it's humorous but it scandalous, it was embarrassing and it was in the europe.all over the madisons hold a dinner and a similar thing happens so the esult of all of these incidents, which he considered tremendous, ambassador mary a few, ly gathering going to a few gatherings and he didn't take his wife and he all the other foreign ministers to follow his example. meaning, that there were going be very few opportunities for diplomacy to go forward and for american politicians to get to another. it was not a good situation. it upon herself, really mended fences with mrs. ary, became her best friend, even though i don't know that she particularly liked her, and dolley may have also felt that gotten really out of hand because jefferson's opponents took him to task not for his role in what was called the mary affair, but they fabricating stories that jefferson had had an affair or was pimping out to the diplomatic core. so dolley's understanding of deeper than just mending fences
