louis and preside over the purchase of that territory. jefferson's empire of liberty was becoming a reality, becoming a reality. yet is it enough land for the 100th and 1,000th generation? jefferson still thinks so. we see that his secretary of war in the 1820s named james barber would comment that there would be enough land for 500 years. well, he didn't get it right either. in fact, we know that by 1890, the frontier vanishes. so what jefferson sees is that over the course of 100 years or so, americans had crossed the appalachian mountains, they had moved down the mississippi valley, they had begun trickling into east and west florida. am the louisiana purchase, and now all eyes would focus to the west. and to the south. of course, that would be texas. now, while the acquisition of louisiana does momentarily satisfy this desire for expansion, it was only a moment. in 1810 -- now, i know this is texas history. so as i tell you this, i don't want you to be upset, i don't want to hear any hissing or booing. in september of 1810, there's going to be a

the books i recommended. you should read my volume on this. and jefferson called himself one so they were unusual and what they brought to it was this assumption not it's not that science and politics and the experimental method of imperialism and all of the things that started to happen at the enlightenment were incompatible with faith but it was possible that faith like politics would have to be reinvented. you couldn't pretend nothing was happening over here. and so, they spend an immense amount of time particularly jefferson and priestley trying to find out how to make it work given all of the knowledge that was coming out of the sciences, and that was the part of priestley's kind of intellectual world where he brought over this idea of some kind of early original trip to the christian tradition that's been kind of covered over with these players. so it's not that you want to have a state religion, and they clearly wanted to have some kind of separation of church and state building to the structures that were there but they do believe that the kind of i

the man, jefferson the slave owner, jeffersonfferson the variety of roles he played it is very important this wall of remembrance is a testament to them as well as to helping us to really see and understand who jefferson was. >> right one thing you wanted the point out, was the difference of using the word enslaved and slave. can you talk about that. >> slave represents what we think is sort of an impersonal way of saying these are people, individuals involved in a system and that system was slavery but they were enslaved people who were a part of that so we think it honors them it honors the sort of role that they had to take and it in some way penalizes it that is why we add not only enslaved community at monticello, because it is a specific community that had a three dimensional life that in some way we want people to understand and get to know whenever possible we try to make sure that we mention the names, of george or the names of joseph or the names of editor the names of fanny -- edith or the names of fanny so we penalize

of the hamiltonian system, jefferson and randall opposed the idea basing their stance on a narrow reading of article one, section 8 of the constitution, which authorized congress to quote, may call laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution before carrying into execution the foregoing powers. few could imagine it at a time. but the future course of the american union pivoted on those adjectives, necessary and proper. for jefferson convenience should not be confused with necessity. there was nothing in the constitution, authorizing a federal bank. he buttressed his claim by citing the unratified tenth amendment, observing to restate any power not clearly ee unanimous rated in the constitution, shaken by the force of such arguments, washington invited hamilton to refute his detractors. using ridicule where logic did not suffice, the secretary of treasury pointed out the inconsistences of strict constructionism. a government empowered to build lighthouses to promote commerce could hardly balk at a bank to collect its taxes or pay its salaries or service its deb sala

it happened in may of 1992 at the jefferson memorial. news4's pat collins joins us live from the memorial with the new developments. pat? >> reporter: jim, after 19 years on the run, you might think someone has a pretty good chance of getting away. not so fast, says the marshal service. in 1992, george herbert walker bush was president, "cheers" was one of the most popular shows on tv, gas cost $1.13 a gallon, and there were 443 murders in the city of washington. one of the victims? chet hunter matthews. his family says they were told he was the first person murdered at the jefferson memorial. 27-year-old chet matthews, he was an army reservist, a postal employee, a licensed barber, and the father of three boys. memorial day 1992 he was at his parents' house in tacoma park. there was a picnic and a party. they say he left about 10:00 p.m. to meet a young lady. that's the last his family saw him alive. chet hunter matthews, killed here. a shotgun blast to the chest. now, after 19 years, at superior court today a man officially charged in t

we are very supportive of the public realm plan and the jefferson street project in particular. you have heard all of our reasons. basically, there was a gap in the bay trail. right now, you can rent a bicycle at one of the many rental facilities that are there, but you cannot bring it back to the bicycle rental company. which is frustrating. it is probably the densest bicycle rental market per square foot in the western hemisphere. more are being rented -- rented there that i know of. by itself, it is an enormous economic engine as a tourism industry aspect. based on that area of the business, this is an important investment. it will be important for the america's cup, important for all sorts of reasons that we move people through their. i totally agree with all the points on equity. we have streets that are in bad condition that need investment. on behalf of a coalition, i have been persuaded by the economic multiplier argument. we like to thank, and we believe that it is true, that bicycle business is going to be a giant piece of that economic multiplier. we hope that you will

there is the experience as you walk down jefferson street. hair chu: do you have slides. >> no, we do not. chair chu: in the future, if you were able to distribute these in advance, that would be helpful, because we cannot see the screen. >> thank you. this is the first two blocks. jones and high street. it would allow us to have some traffic diversions strategies, so the key part of the plan is really to reduce this to the greatest extent possible, so that it is a call, say, and enjoyable experience. again, some background, in fiscal year 2010, the area received about 9 million visitors and generated through various rents and taxes about $65 million revenue towards the city, said just doing a very basic sensitivity analysis, what would happen with a 5%, 10% or more increase based other cities across, going to new york and denver and portland in between, and you can see just even a modest increase results in a long-term benefit to the city on an annual basis. and with that, i am going to hand the microphone over for douglas for the budget. tha

, that is, allow the enemy to penetrate your soil. initially jefferson davis said we'll not give up a single inch of our soil. well, that's impractical. and it didn't work out that way either. so, you allow the enemy to penetrate, but then you -- in circumstance of your choosing when the enemy is lost or has made a mistake or can be numbered or you can attack the enemy's fractions with your mast, you attack, the offense. go on the offense. davis believed in that strategy i think, and this is gravely oversimplified, davis said we will outwill the united states. we will exist. every day we exist we're winning. the united states is losing every day we survive. and the longer we exist, the more regular we will seem to the rest of the world and even to our enemies. and if all else fails, we will just abandon conventional modern war, take to the hills, and be guerrillas. davis is anticipating post-modern warfare. imagine. good old boys as vietcong or i.r.a. or other post-modern forms of warfare. and this is what davis

the european states? i think that's what hamilton had in mind. and jefferson and madison had a very different vision of what the united states should be. so that the stakes were as high as they could be. and people were frightened. i believe that jefferson and madison feared that monarchy was going to be imposed on the united states. that we were going to become a monarchical regime. many historians dismissed that out of hand. that must be true. because it didn't happen, therefore they dismiss it, but i think you have to take seriously what people said in the past. and there's enough evidence that both jefferson and madison were frightened, that the federalists were trying to foist a monarchy on the country. >> and the federalists had their own fears. >> definitely. the french were going to invade and that there was a fifth column within the country of jeffersonian radicals. they were going to support the invasion. now, napoleon was invading other countries and turning them into puppet regimes, republican puppet regimes. holland and the netherlands became the

the weather on troop movement. lee by this time has adopted, and actually jefferson strateg offensive defense, that is, allow the enemy to penetrate your soil. initially jefferson davis said we'll not give up a single inch of our soil. well, that's impractical. and it didn't work out that way either. so, you allow the enemy to penetrate, but then you -- in circumstance of your choosing when the enemy is lost or has made a mistake or can be numbered or you can attack the enemy's fractions with your mast, you attack, the offense. go on the offense.

jefferson. it is not the story about thomas jefferson. and the problem that i have is that hollywood is so eager -- and i'm using using hollywood as sort of the catch phrase for maybe pop culture, but in this country, we're so excited by the scandalous, at least they would have us believe that, if it titillating if it's salacious, it gets the story. thomas jefferyson is the man who wrote the declaration of independence. this is a man who feels very much out of his league in the continental congress. he feels very inadequate to the task, not only that but he writes this document with john adams and benjamin franklin looking over his shoulder. he is not the sole author of the declaration of independence as you may have learned in school. it was edited heavily and there was quite a bit of input. the fact that this man, that he writes the final draft of this, one of the reasons they pick him, number one he's not as exalted as these old guys, and two number, he's got beautiful handwriting. that to me is an interesting story. it's not the only s

but there is a documented episode in the aftermath of the seven days when jefferson davis rode down past the battlefields to malverne hill hill on the morning of july 2 and came into the room where lee was for a conference with the leading commanders, jackson was present. he immediately stood up, stiffly at attention and then promptly left the room and there were evidences that he just didn't want to be around davis. he never said in writing what he thought about the davis. he would never say such a thing. that would be contrary to that by the book world view that he embraced to keep his life online. we have precisely used up our time. thank you for your attention. >> okay, gang, as bob gets mic'd up to do q and a with the c-span audience, we're going to take a break for 15 minutes. we'll be back in here at exactly ten minutes of the hour. and we will hear david blythe next. i just want to give you just a highlight. david and bob will disagree on who the person of the year is for 1862, but i think that the greatest disagreement is bob is a hopeless san francisco giants fan and david equa

just very briefly on behalf of connie come on the and the jefferson. [laughter] >> i hope that's better. we are thrilled to be hosting senator simpson and his former chief of staff and biographer donald hardy this evening. we are excited to hear from both of them about the book, "shooting from the lip," which i guess is fitting. [laughter] connie was also very proud last year at a dinner on behalf of the commission, then to further support it and its effort so i think everybody knows on the deficit reduction not sure that anybody really listened after they got done but at least they put in the effort. that is a political by the way. so, in a different -- in addition, connie noted that it was no surprise to her at a time that based on senator simpson's record in the senate, his by partisanship work that he would be chosen to be a co-chair of that commission. and last, we just want to say that as we understand, mr. hardy had full access to senator simpson's records, of diaries, volumes, full access.

. >> how was washington able to keep under wraps the political rivalry between, say, jefferson and -- >> and hamilton? >> yes. >> here is washington's genius. and, by the way, if you want a contemporary parallel, look at dwight eisenhower, whose great hero was george washington and who was like washington, you know, the man who won world war ii didn't need a favorable story in that day's new york times to burnish his reputation. eisenhower and what became famous as the hidden hand approach to the presidency, the idea of pulling strings in behind the curtain in many ways because ike didn't need the ego gratification of a teddy roosevelt and the bully pulpit. but also that's how he preferred to operate in many ways from the shadows. and part of that was the example of washington whose great success was to keep both hamilton and jefferson in the cabinet long after both of them wanted out. again, it's all part of buying time. and the consequence was that washington, first of all, subjected himself to some very unpleasant cabinet meetings and occasionally lost his temper. we have jefferson

jefferson supported that. well, yeah, he did support this and that. and you figure he lived to be 80-plus years old. so over the course of a long life, he did have a lot of different attitudes. and his ideas and belief were always evolving and changing. well, in 1786, jefferson would write to a friend, he said, our continent must be viewed as the nest from which all america, north and south, is to be people. well, in 1791, the summer of 1791, the spanish governor of florida, quesada -- you said there was a pointer on this thing. pointer, pointer, pointer. is it -- okay. you take -- fortunately, you guys know where florida is. but the spanish governor of florida, governor quesada extended an invitation for americans to move into florida. all they would need to do is spanish government. they would profess to be catholics, and they could acquire all the land they wanted. wealth, jefferson thought this was a great idea. in fact, he said he wished 100,000 americans would move there because it would give us peaceably what might otherwise cost us a war. now, what jefferson is telling us there is here is his vision for

he sought advice in the matter from jefferson and lafayette. his anxiety was real. so was his relief. when he finally decided to donate the shares to a fledgling economy in western virginia, today's washington and lee college. he was equally torn over attending the constitutional convention in the summer of 1787. in returning his commission at the end of the revolution, he had pledged himself to retire from public life. moreover, he already declined an invitation to lend his presence to a simultaneous meeting in that city in the order of the cincinnati, the war time officers from which he maintained an somewhat uneasy distance. on the other hand, washington was more passionate about the success of republican government, than he was about the usefulness of canals and not happy with the feeble regime under the articles of confederation, the self-proclaimed league of friendship under which a patch word puzzle of squabbling former colonies had done little to refute old world skepticism about the public and its pro inspects. it appears to be little more than a shadow with
