and monroe. the first thing you can tell from the conversation is that they did not like each other. things don't start out too well, you can tell right off the cuff that they hate each other. hamilton was a really logical thinker who clearly wanted to rehearse the entire history of the controversy step by step like a courtroom lawyer would. monroe kept interrupting in complete frustration. i know already. i lived through this. can you get going? at which hamilton would begin again at the beginning of his account. [laughter] so things went worse as their conversation went on. it did not take long for both men ultimately to lose their patience, with hamilton clearly getting redder and redder and monroe getting icier and icier until hamilton bluntly accused monroe of leaking the information. when monroe denied it, hamilton said, "this as your representation is totally false." he's not using the l word, not saying you're a liar, but he's just being careful with his words. even though he did not use

i always saw it as monroe was looking forward, not backward. and that he wanted the white house to represent what he believed the presidency should be. >> how did americans feel about their president having anything french at that time? we have gone through various iterations of our feeling about being focused on america versus internationalist. >> i was going to say, james monroe was really popular. not a lot of people want to speak out about it. after he left office, congress passed a law in 1826 mandating that any furniture that is purchase for the presidents house be a menu -- an american manufacturer. >> some things never change. >> some say it was a swipe at monroe or john quincy adams who came into office and had a different level of popularity? either way, it was probably more a reflection of the changing times. you are in the mid 1820's now, the united states, in terms of craftsmanship, had blossomed since 1800. there is a question of is is is supposed to be representation of who we are as americans, shouldn't the things inside the hou

but monroe really wanted to project this persona about the power of the presidency, the power of the united states. and it was pretty bold, also considering the white house had just been burned. but i always kind of saw it that monroe was looking forward, not backward, and that he wanted the white house to represent what he believed the presidency should be. >> how did americans feel about their president having anything french at that time? we've gone through various iterations of our feeling about being focused on america versus internationalist. >> i was going to say james monroe was really popular, so not a lot of people wanted to speak out about it. mouf however, after he left office congress passed a law in 1826 mandating that any furniture that's purchased for the president's house be of american manufacture. so some say it was a swipe at monroe, or was this a swipe at john quincy adams who came into office and had a different level of popularity. either way, i think it was probably more a reflection of the changing times. you're in the mid 1820s now, the united states in term

douglas: i will just say, we mentioned james monroe. i think he is underrated. richard was giving brian a book there, an era of good feelings earlier. but monroe has not had that take -- big seminal biography the way david mccall wrote a book on john adams or one of those treatments. i think there is an opening for president monro to be understood more as a foreign-policy president. the most overrated is hard. because it is the most -- i just can't quite -- because i do not think our top group are overrated. i think they are all about right. it might be we overinflated modern presidents because they are part of our own time and we lose sight of some of the presidents from the 19th century because we just do not know them as well. there might be a modernity inflation going on here with some presidents. brian: annette, you are in this book in the chapter on millard fillmore. would you like to comment on him, with the over rated or underrated?

there's a story that james monroe came to visit her, former president james monroe came to visit her. said something like, you know, mrs. hamilton, you and i are among the only ones left from that time. so i wanted to come and pay my respects. she blamed james monroe for leaking the reynolds affair. so she saw monroe as being cordial ex-president, here we are, let us shake hands. she said something along the lines of, if you think our being one step closer to the grave means i forgive you, i do not. she stormed out of the room. >> wow. >> that's a woman with umph. >> indeed. quite a person. thank you for speaking to her and also we did have a question about -- especially in a short life, how you organize those 27 volumes of material. that speaks to it. hamilton did some of that but he did have the family members working on that afterward. kind of curating e ining that l. it's important for us to think about as historians and history educators. >> even one step beyond that. they ultimately sold his papers to the government. what is worth noting is that nowadays, there are all of these

same one that hit monroe stayed on the ground for 100 miles. as you take a look. the national weather service not only at shreveport and jackson, mississippi, birmingham, alabama have been extremely busy. this is tornado watch. this is earlier today wolf, the storm predictions center not only put out this tornado watch, they issued a particularly dangerous situation. that was in effect for louisiana, arkansas and mississippi. now the watch in effect for a alabama andeffect. take a look at our outlook. storm prediction centers three days ago gave us an outlook of a level four out of five. rare to have a three-day forecast to give us this kind of outlook. kind of the markings that you see here will show you the 15% that we are looking at. that tells us a 15% chance of tornado with a 25 miles of any given point. that's extremely high. as i mentioned moments ago, the ingredients and dew points are rising. this got to spike in intensity as the storms break across alabama and into georgia during the worst time of the evening, the darkness of night. i can't stress enough

monroe was one of the first cities to take the brunt of these storms. ar picd up by a tornado, pushed right into this home. on the other side you can see what is left of this kitchen. neighbors tell us they had to rescue the home owners and they d t.d we just got another trapped call. apparently a tree went in a house. there's supposed to be four kids inside the house. they can't get out. >> reporter: overnight, tennessee the latest state plagued with severe storms, resulting in five deaths and several more injured, with chattanooga one of the largest cities hit by the tornado and heavy downpours. our affiliate station showing us this devastated home. >> it took our roof off. that tree almost went through our house but by the grace of god did not. >> reporter: cars left with shattered windshields. the front of this warehouse demolished. the debris submerged in flood water. at least 13 people are dead and more than 800,000 households are without power after violent stor bearingow and torrential rain ripped through the south easter sunday. alabama, louisi

time washington died, he was no longer on speaking terms with jefferson, james madison and james monroe. that is the third and fourth and fifth president of the united states.

[laughter] so nowadays the presidents leaving office do you think about george h.w. bush who defeated him for a variety of good causes almost all the presidents have come together to begin a variety of causes. that you suggest to make washington more partisan how does this transpire? >> i think that's true he did become more partisan after he left the presidency. we do have a perception leaving office lifts the president above partisan views. but actually it was the exact opposite. he involved himself in congressional hearings and the way he never did as president. he supported the alien and sedition act that led to

and james monroe don't want - - to write of the idea of washington's birthday and thomas jefferson the only one he would celebrate was july 4th so that is can particularly convenient for jefferson because of the document that he had written the declaration of independence. >> that makes you feel a lot better about today. so you discuss thet parallels of washington cincinnatus and george c marshall can you discuss any similarities or mention any other states and those parallels? >> it is so interesting. >> i didn't have a farm to go back to. [laughter] i think there is a modern equivalent of a farm today but that is a tough question. part of that is the reason it is so difficult so many former presidents fall in the morals of americans cincinnatus. the reason that's the case is washington has to go through the struggles that he did and not even to appreciate how revolutionary that the words now sound so clichÉ but it's a testament to what he did he made it normal to become that cincinnatus figure. >> i'm sure that beautiful building the beautiful headquarters i assume you visited that l

if you talk to washington scholars like monroe was not a great thinker. so much shade thrown at him. he was really just annotating it.i don't think he had this Ãbthe idea that the founders were among the list and all like this is what we decided, this is how we are going forward is total bs. they were fighting all the time. that's why partisanship happened. there's room to remember that. it's a healthy amount of siding is good. it's a conversation. but it's so ridiculous to imagine that a country who fought eight long years to break free of the monarch of the king wanted absolute power. if they wanted that, they would have had a king. there is a romance novel called american royals and washington decided to be a king and it's sort of interesting is the same publisher so they sent it to you but we don't have that for a reason. it makes me upset to hear that. it's sort of abuse of our history to present it in this way and i think what people do that if there being generally you just shouldn't trust them. i think they could say it three times you take it awa
