mr. jefferson. how often does he roll over in his grave as he tries to adjudicate between a reverend robertson and a reverend fal well, for example? isn't it funny right between virginia beach and lynchburg they buried thomas jefferson. i think those bones must move uilet a bit. but his work endures. his work endures. it has been a triumph in many ways in virginia history. he's been a model for the country as a whole in understanding the supreme court. and it has been fascinating to see this move into international law. thank you very much. [applause] now, there may be some questions. >> yes, sir. thank you very much. the statute was 1786, and shortly thereafter it was in the constitution. what were some of the s -- associate logical -- socialogical factors that drove the nation to war over religious freedom? >> well, religious freedom, it -- well, religious freedom it wasn't just a church-state rim like massachusetts, connecticut, new hampshire, they got rid of those. so the virginia model becomes

mr. jefferson and mr.incoln are two presidents that belong to no organized religion, and yet their impact on religion is far outweighed by that fact. thank you. >> you know, i think yorktown was the other church. and you must know mr. billups' family. [laughter] pardon me? i know the billups family. and also mr. john cook, one of the greatest speakers we ever had in the legislature of virginia, too. >> if i could get a picture of humphrey billups, i would love it. can't find him anywhere. sir, please. >> thank you. how would we handle the muslims in the sharia law they want to bring in? >> that is a great question. [laughter] all, i think of many muslims, muslims who come to the united states want to come to this country on our terms. they don't want to bring in sharia law. certainly the women don't want it. we have to worry about that. you know, what i would suggest we do is take a hard look at how europe deals with this. look at our forebears over there. see how europe deals with it. i think we're ok. >>

mr. jefferson which was 80,000 square feet at in which she drew 350 tons of vegetables at the time. 150 kinds of fruit trees with a garden at the white house is a little bit less ambitious, but no less forceful a moral statement. at the same time, the interesting thing about that garden is that it is an assertion of a program, a set of beliefs. she went on sesame street and said we grow our own food in their use is to educate children and did the same year a farm bill came across her husband's desk that was just about $300 million which fundamentally supports the overproduction of soybeans and corn which we use to make africa's corn syrup which is what makes our children of peace to begin with. the obama's cannot really reconcile their version of what a garden is to put the notion of public policy is. i think these intersections are what is interesting. >> host: in your work as a garden designer have you seen any impact? >> guest: i absolutely have. one of the things a very hopeful, a sort of a pendulum swinging back and forth. when it is good times we splashdown. we do things bigger. it's mo

mr. jefferson i want to free my slaves and jefferson writes back ah it wouldn't be a really good idea to do that for a lot of different reasons and coles gets the idea he needs to leave. so he moves to what was then the west. he becomes in fact early governor of illinois but frees his slaves as they are acrossing the ohio river. so there were people that did it. and here again i think that letter of edward coles is beautiful because i think he really understands that slaves are human beings and they are entitled to every right that a human being has. every natural right. which of course here again in the declaration of independence is pretty well specified. it's funny -- and i think it was samuel johnson that said the people -- when he was in england during the revolution the people that yelled most about liberty are the ones with t a whip in the other hand to beat slaves. something to that. >> last question. >> last question, okay. >> what was the thought process in collecting these advice letters? and also getting the letters. oh it would be nice to get a [ inaudible ] >>, you know, th

mr. jefferson's, which was 8,000 square feet of vegetable gardens in which he grew 350 kinds of vegetables 50, kinds of cabbages and 150 kinds of fruit trees. the garden at the white house is a little built less ambitious but no less forceful as a moral statement. but at the same time the interesting thing about that garden is that it is an assertion of a program, of a set of beliefs. she went on sesame street and said, we grow our own food and we're using this to educate children about childhood obesity and sickness and the importance of put these parts together to live in a virtues sense, and yet the same year a farm bill came across her husband are desk that was $300 billion, which fundamentally supports the overproduction of soybeans and corn, which we use to mike high fructose corn sir chip which is what makes our children obese to begin with. so so the obamas can't reconcile their notion of a garden with their notion of public policy, and these intersections are what is interesting. >> host: in your work as a garden designer have you seen any impact from misch own -- michelle obama's

mr. jefferson.ving on up. >> yes he was. >> andrew jackson was a bad man. >> he was. >> i have no problem -- he was a horrible, horrible man. i have no problem booting him off the $20 bill and replace him with a woman or person of color or trans activist. i don't care at all. >> ben franklin wasn't a president and neither was hamilton. >> why do we want people on money in the first place? just have a large number. >> because the british have the queen. >> there is a paper ceiling. >> there is a paper ceiling. why not make it just dogs? really cool dogs? famous dogs like benji. remember run joe run. >> rin tin tin. >> if you put a woman on the bill is it worthless? that's terrible. >> what does maggie gylenhaal think about it? first a word from our sponsor. >> tonight's c block is brought to you by mountain loo. the drink given to us mere mortals for anyone who wants to do something tremendous. the only wrong way to do the loo is to not do the loo at all. thanks, mountain loo. >>> is gylenhaal obama'

mr. jefferson, i want to free my slaves. and jefferson writes back, it would not be a good idea. coles gets an idea he needs to leave. he moves to the west. he becomes an early governor of illinois. but frees his slaves as they are crossing the ohio river. there were people that did it. here again, i think that letter of edward cole's is beautiful. he really understands that slaves are human beings and entitled to every right a human being has, every natural right, which in the declaration of independence is pretty well specified. it is funny. i think it was samuel johnson that said the people, in england during the revolution, the people most about liberty are the ones that have a width in the other hand and beat the slaves. something to that. >> last question. >> ok. >> what was your thought process collecting these advice letters? also getting the letters. know, there are a lot of letters that should be in this. in fact, i think this could be several volumes. i think if the first one is perceived to have value, then maybe we will do another one. we have got lots and lots and l

mr. kevin is out of the country at the moment, this is an 8,000 square foot cvs on the corner of jefferson and it is under construction right now and schedule to be completed in the fall and this is a convenience store only and not a pharmacy here. and one interesting thing about this item the alcohol use itself, the 8,000 square feet is the total retail area, and only 250 feet will be devoted to alcohol and it is a small component of the retail for this location. the license as would mention is being transferred from another location on polk street and not an increase in the district three number of licenses. our out reach consisted of fisherman's wharf and working closely with the merchant's association. and there are no residents nearby and no opposition to that we are aware of and we are in agreement with all of the conditions that have been proposed and happy to answer any questions that you have. >> thank you. >> supervisor mar? has a question? >> i just wanted to ask him, you mentioned that there is no pharmacy at this cvs, how many in the city don't have pharmacies? >> this actuall

mr. jeffrey m. old -- jeffrey m. old. [applause] >> and our moderator, 42nd president of the united states, the honorable william jefferson. [applause] thank you very much. good morning, everyone. i'd like to begin by thanking secretary pritzker and mayor bloomberg for the in the amount of work they and their teams have done to bring us together and a i'm very grateful. i'm grateful that president obama for sponsoring this. this is probably something we should of done a long time ago. there are many heads of state here from africa and political and business leaders from both continents. i do want to say that our partner with the leaders of liberia and new guinea and sierra leone have been a fugitive because because they had to stay home to do with the ebola outbreak, and we wish them well. i told the panels before we came out today that i hate panels that are over directed, and i don't like lines where the members filibuster, but i do want them to be able to say what they have to say about this issue. we all want more trade, more investment, better ties. it is generally known that africa is going to grow as it has som sum

mrs. davis react to all this tragedy? >> that is such an excellent question. i think really important to the story. when joe dies, when he falls off the balcony, that is when varina and jeffersonfall apart. that is the one day he takes off. they have these other children die. when winnie dies, her mother goes to pieces. varina, i give her credit. she pulled it together. she never gives up. she eventually is able to function and to go on and she stays on and lives in new york. i think that the cumulative affect of all of these deaths influences -- the four boys dying, i think it influences the way varina and winnie are together. i think varina becomes codependent. they both become codependent, but varina cannot give winnie up to marriage. that is not a lot of fun for her, either. i think with varina, she is a very strong woman but these deaths affect her tremendously. it was devastating and even for the 19th century, that was a lot of death in one family. that is unusual. and all boys so the name doesn't disappear. it almost died out. yes? >> [indiscernible] >> the hollywood cemetery, it is a gorgeous cemetery overlooking the james river. they call it the davis circle and that
