i had the opportunity to see david mccullough talking about this book. they give us each a copy of the book, for those of us who come to the event. it is a wonderful story. >> host: what drew you to that book? >> guest: hearing david mccullough talk about it and talk about the wright brothers, who are very interesting. you know, you think you know because we all learn about the wright brothers and they are the founders of flight, you know, then to hear david mccullough talk about the personal story, i discovered i didn't really know anything about them at all. the brothers had aces your who was dairy helpful in everything they did and they lived at her home. all of them live together as they were getting were older. they had a bicycle shot. they started out a bicycle shot. one of the brothers was just fascinated by flight and a study birds and then translated that to how to begin to build an airplane and a one to north carolina because that is where the wind patterns with the best. it is just a wonderful story and also not just about that family and thei

along the freedom trail is where i will be on wednesday with david mccullough. there are 16 sites that helps us understand the events that led up to the american revolution. and this is -- hall, where many of the important meetings took place leading up to the american revolution. seneca falls. seneca falls was mentioned -- there we go -- seneca falls was mentioned last week when hillary clinton accepted, or didn't accept, but was giving a victory speech. and seneca falls appeared in the video that was shown prior to her victory speech. and i'll be speaking at seneca falls in july at the annual anniversary of the women's rights convention, which was held in july 1848. what always amazes me about this story is that elizabeth cady stanton and lucretia mott and their colleagues, in early july, came together for tea and decided, finally, enough was enough. they were staunch abolitionists, they were progressive reformers, but they decided we will have a convention about women's rights. and we will hold it in three weeks. and we are going to draft a declaration of sen

they talk about their most recent books and i had the opportunity to see david mccullough talking about this book and then they give us each a copy of the book for those of us who go to event. talk about the wright brothers and who were very interesting. you think you know because we all know about the wright brothers and they're the founders of flight, and then to hear david mccullough talk about their personal story i discovered i really didn't know anything about them at all. the brothers had a sister who was very helpful in everything they did and they had -- they lived at their home, all of them lived together as they were getting older and they had a bicycle shop. they started out with a bicycle shop and one of the brothers was fascinated by flight and studied birds and translate that had in how to begin to build an airplane and they went to north carolina because that's where they thought the wind patterns would be best. so it is just a wonderful story and also about not just about that family and their relationships but also about america at that time as we were looking at, you

mccullough? >> i would echo -- >> do it briefly because i have one more question. >> i would echo his response. >> when you all disagree on things that should be classified -- one of the things that bothers me about this whole thing is this retroactive classification. i mean, people on this committee may have committed a crime. i'm just telling you, by releasing things that were later retroactively classified. i mean, how do we deal with that? what can we do to try to clear that up? and what happens when you all disagree with each other? >> so, in terms of when our departments or whether when we disagree as igs? >> yeah, i mean, yeah when you disagree as igs. in other words, your departments -- one of your departments say there's something that should be classified, the other one says it shouldn't, doesn't deserve that kind of classification. i mean, what happens then? is there an arbitrator or whatever? because this stuff leads to crimes, as you well know. >> well, we don't make classification d

i mean, very good obviously john mccullough is excellent, excellent historian. but, you know, probably in an earlier period it was very heavily focused on british history and, you know, these were not all -- all histories but churchill was always worth reading, whether it's memoirs, whether it's -- he had at wonderful little book called great contemporary written back in the 20's which later on nixon did a follow on kind of book himself. i like to read richard nixon stuff. i like to read about richard nixon. he's the most fascinating politician of my life and i t thought the things that he wrote were really quite good. >> does your reading help you in your work as a congressman? >> it does. you know, history in particular provides a lot of context, a lot of analogies, frankly a lot of understanding because most people when they get to congress and if they're not careful, they sort of think history begins with them. there's something -- but you're really stepping into the flow of something and institution or, you know, and if you read particularly contemporary hi

i want to recognize dave mccullough who encourage me to write this book and wrote the foreword. if you are interested in 50 great places, you get the wonderful foreword. he and i will be appearing together later in boston at the old south meeting house where we will be talking about history and the importance of preserving history and 50 great american places. i wrote this book and david mccullough encouraged me to write the book that i would want to read. there were three reasons for writing the book. first was to encourage historical literacy. what do i mean by that? i don't mean memorization of dates and facts. the order in which the president are elected or when was the war of 1812? [laughter] that is a trick question. i'm not talking about memorizing those facts. i'm talking about historical context. how places and events and people relate to each other in their own time. and how they can be resources for us today. what is the connection between some of these historical places and these individuals we read about and our own times? how do they help us understand evene are as

this is mccullough. >> so much of what donald trump spouts is bolder. he is unwise, plainly unprepared, unqualified, and he often seems unhinged. how can we possibly put our future in the hands of such a man? amy: that is historian david mccullough, speaking about donald trump. the two-time pulitzer prize winner for the biographies "truman" and "john adams" has historically refused to comment on contemporary election cycles, saying his specialty is "dead politicians." other historians involved in the group include ron chernow, whose pulitzer prize-winning biography "hamilton" served as inspiration for the hit musical, david levering lewis, biographer of w.e.b. dubois, and vicki lynn ruiz, former president of the american historical association. in britain, theresa may is becoming the prime minister today, as david cameron tenders his resignation at buckingham palace. this comes less than a month after britain shocked the world by voting to leave the european union -- a move strongly opposed by cameron. he announced within hours of the referendum that he

spee2 well david mccullough's book about john adams i think is a wonderful book. 1776 is a wonderful book, less about what we wonderful book, less about what we do today in the senate, i have not yet read master of the senate which is the third book in the trilogy about lyndon johnson. i just finished the second book also that's my list to do and people tell me that it's a wonderful description of what happens in the senate and the process and how to make things happen which johnson of course was a master at. so that is one on my list for the summer. >> host: when you were growing up in missouri and going to school in mississippi did it ever occur to you that you were going to be the governor and senator from new hampshire? >> guest: no, never that was not on my dreamless of things that i wanted to do in the future. but i had this theory about politics and that was that some of us are born with musical ability and some of us are artists and others get the political gene. and so some of us that are drawn to politics because my parents were always interested in current events but neith

. >> how significant was david mccullough's book on the wright brothers and identifying what they did and meant for america's and the world's flight? >> well, he's a fine writer and maybe the most important part of that is that his books are wildly sold and read and so the word gets out to the public through that means, he did a lot of research with dr. crouch and dr. jacob and references them freely in his book so, yes, that's one of the things about this whole place is getting the information to people to spark that interest where they want to know more. so this question is the one we welcome because if we can get -- okay, let's figure this out, let somebody try to prove something different on this. so it's -- we're anxious to hear from folks. >> it's clear this still excites you after all these years. >> it really does, yes. >> let's hear from wayne joining us from massachusetts with general jack dailey. >> caller: good evening, general, and semper fi from a former marine, second marine, second recon battalion out of camp lejeune, north carolina, sir. >> hoorah. >> caller: [ laught

very good obviously john mccullough is an excellent, excellent historian but probably it was heavily focused on british history and these are not all histories but churchill was always worth reading whether his just memoirs or whether it was his -- he had a wonderful little book called great contemporaries back in the 20s which later on nixon actually did a sort of follow on kind of book himself. i like to read richard nixon stuff. i like to read about richard nixon. i think he's most fascinating politician of my lifetime and i thought the things that he wrote were really quite good. >> host: did you read -- did your reading help you in your work as a congressman? >> guest: it does, history particular provides a lot of context, a lot of analogies. frankly a lot of just understanding because most people when they get to congress if they aren't careful they think history begins with them but you are really stepping into the flow of something, an institution and if you read history a lot of interesting now it parallels but that ground quite frankly to what's going on. john barry wrote a
