senator elizabeth warren and massachusetts if senator ed markey among others.he washington post," former house speaker nancy pelosi who notably tore apart the president's state of the union address back in 020 the is now encouraging members to, quote, let the president stew in his own juice. pelosi, who's still widely respected within the democratic conference, reportedly wants democrats to focus on the republicans' budgets framework, that gop blueprint that would enact the president's agenda and also call for spending cuts which democrats argue would slash programs like medicaid. that, in pelosi's view, would be a much more effective way for democrats to respond rather than simply interrupting the president's speech. so we'll see. charlie, rachel and peter. rachel: thank you, maddie. peter: maddie, can we keep her just for one second, i just want to double check the quote, nancy pelosi wants donald trump to stew in his own juice? >> reporter: yeah. rachel: that's a quote. i saw charlie and peter, as soon as you saw that -- said that, they wrote down stew in ju

speaker, i rise on behalf of the massachusetts seventh congressional district.s the house prepares to vote on a truly horrifying republican budget resolution, one void of empathy or commonsense, i'm thinking of and censoring the people in my district who stand to be harmed the most. family who -- families who receive their health care through the medicaid program for massachusetts. mothers in chelsea who rely on snap to feed their beans -- babies. disabled veterans in randolph who receive life-saving care and benefits through the v.a. families in rocksberry, who rely on head start for childcare. this republican majority said they'd spend the next two years cutting costs for the middle class, but the only thing they're cut something trillions of dollars -- cutting is trillions of dollars from life-saving programs our community depend on to make ends meet. mr. speaker, this has never been about efficiency. tell me how it is efficient to make people across this country sicker, hungrier, poorer, more vulnerable. tell me how it is efficient to buy more toy rockets fo

while politician in massachusetts and now in washington. he had watched a new philosophy hold and spread in american politics. the philosophy that the federal government should always do more and move faster. the government in this had license to impinge everywhere ever since it was argued it could do better than any other force for humanity and a sort of subset of that philosophy was that the parchments, the founders, anything old was outdated in the rearview mirror as we speak forward. but coolidge believed, this philosophy essentially progressive, was not necessarily correct. and his election gave him a possibility of demonstrating that old principles, such as government restraint and individual freedom, could serve even a america of the 21st or 20th. his century. the progressives he knew might win in 1928, the next election, or in 32. so his own time was short. any detour and not to squander a day an hour or a minute of. indeed as he put it, when he talked about his tax program, he would bend all his energy as to proving the validity of

revolution began in the 1740s already when sam adams was impoverished in the land bank scandal in massachusetts and when sam adams junior became radicalized and became, as stacy schiff has reported, instrumental in shaping the revolution itself. so we find ourselves very to the point of having to acknowledge that the american revolution was a by blow what was effectively a revolution in? england not, a result of tyranny, but a result of political instability, but instability that english themselves finally got control of to produce dramat modern innovations, which innovations were paralleled subsequent and indigenously in the americas? my last word so that you do at least what one of the majority innovations was it was the invent of the programmatic political party. burke's response to the kings desire to get rid parties was to defend parties, but also to defend them on the basis of an analysis which says they did not have to be factions. and that analysis he presents us in terms which declare the party must be an association of people committed in advance as to an explicit program to be approv

there is now, as of two years ago at the adams presidential center in quincy, massachusetts. but there has never been one in the north, has not actually participated in the project of memorialization of our founding in, the same way that the south has. and that has affected what we quote and how we understand our history. i think it's time for the whole story. so that's what i really try to contribute here. thank you. thank you, paul. yeah, i think that's that's fantastically important. i think in terms of of responding to daniel rich, i would only say i very much agree that stressing the the centrality of this difference is actually also a way of showing the importance of the colonial experience of the in which the americans had been developed on a different path from the british for a long time by the time of of the revolution and american politics took a different direction than the one that english politics was already taking in at the end of the 18th century. it followed a path that was set much earlier at the beginning of the american colonial experience. and you see th

and i can tell you that massachusetts if law enforcement, tate and local continue to work with federalment when it comes to the investigation and the prosecution and apprehension of criminals. so, of course -- charlie: is, of course, all of this is in response to their defense of sanctuary cities. i think this is so interesting. this is the hill the democrat politicians want the die on even after the election, even after polls after polls after polls are shown how deeply unpopular these sanctuary city policies are. they want to die on supporting illegal sanctuary city policies against the trump administration's effort to enforce existing federal law, and democrats love saying, oh, our immigration system is broken. one part of the immigration system that's not broken is that it is illegal to be illegally in the country illegally. it's really that simple. and tomman and the trump administration -- tom homan and the trump administration are going to enforce these laws, and you have these wild democrat mayors of cities who are hell bent on preventing that happening. peter: and donald trump

joining us from western massachusetts, marty barron, former executive editor of the washington post and you said you're sad and disgusted by what happened with this order. why? >> look, i think newspapers like the washington post have always been a place where there should be a wide variety of opinions. that's been its heritage and history. i think that's a good practice. actually, in recent years they have included a lot more conservative voices and that's always good and represents america. the paper is saying that it's for all of america. well, americans have a lot of different views and they should be represented in the washington post. howie: you've said that to his credit, bezos at least when you were there never interviewed the newsroom, and as the owner isn't he entitled to have the opinion pages reflect his views? >> well of course he's entitled to set the overall direction of the newspaper that he owns. traditionally, and appropriately, you know, an owner can dictate what the editorials themselves say, but i think as you know, the history of op-ed pages was the idea that there

if the boston jail and the massachusetts jails are blocking ice from going in and picking up illegal aliens that are convicted of sex crimes of minors, rape, murder, you name it. if our immigration people cannot get into the jails it's time to arrest everything will person getting in the way. this is how you create a banana republic by throwing federal law enforcement out the window. maria: exactly, meanwhile cheryl another ice operation was leaked this time in northern virginia agents had a rate plan for today and tomorrow detail set to be posted by reporter a migrant activist group also repeating the details on social media then telling illegal migrants what not to do if they me an ice age and, they write this do not open the door without a warrant signed by a judge, do not sign anything, do not show any id from a foreign country. >> trump derangement syndrome again is happening in this is why the problem were seeing this in los angeles there putting the lives of our officers on the line and in danger, not just in the sanctuary cities but at the southern border and that's what we n

massachusetts and new hampshire judicial decision connecticut, rhode island having a abolition of slavery. 19 immediate abolition over time a gradual abolition of slavery. this was an idea that was sweeping the things. and as the governor pointed, vermont said that to. in 1777. but this is an idea that this that makes great advances in the wake of the american revolution and those words in the declaration that are sort of hard to square slavery, aren't they? yeah. so i think in modern times, one of the things that we've seen is an idea sort of separates property rights, personal rights and personal rights are very important, but rights are not so important. so let me just go back a coolidge quote where he says we need not concern ourselves much about rights of property. if we faithful observe the rights of persons. and i think you know what he's getting out there is what i was trying to say earlier is at every stage of this controversy in 76, americans claim to be defending property rights, which they deemed a pretext to the pursuit of happiness. and madison has very capacious definition
