>> well, thomas jefferson warned 250 years ago that those who most fear investigations of their actions are always the first to attack a free press. obviously the idea of trying to criminalize investigative journalism, the idea that if you have classified information that you're responsibly reported on that means you can be detained under terrorism statutes or even declared a criminal is exactly what jefferson was warning about. of course the u.s. and the u.k. governments are furious. not that we're exposing things that harm national security, because we haven't, that we're exposing things that harm their

thomas jefferson is in a lost world. we are in a different place, but if we believe in original intentions and if we believe the core values of our republic were established at that moment, i think we should have a seminar on this. and it will be an interesting conversation in which liberals and conservatives alike might be able to come together. thank you for having me.

these ideas came from thomas jefferson's statement about creating a secular state, this was done through liberal takeover of law studies in america. i go through the takeover of the universities of worship in state as well. the 1960s began in the 1860s, importing radical european secular liberalism to the american universities and the reason was no american university could give you a graduate degree. so go to europe in the 1800s and steady german university, we got the most radical secular enlightenment views brought back to america, got ensconced in universities. by the 1800s it form the foundation of understanding of the intelligentsia from university pushed down to our culture and part of that was in the development of our law schools. that is how law school got contaminated. have to go back to the 1800s but one thing they imported with all due respect was this bad idea from 1905 law of the french republic. >> you were -- neither of us were there. not to blame. you are off the hook. >> the thing about liberalism is they pretend to be tolerant but are so intolerant of religion. >> at

these ideas then came over from europe buttressed by thomas jefferson's statement about creating a secular state. this was done through the sort of liberal takeover of our law studies in america. i get to the state -- takeover of the universities in order to bring the state as well. it began in the 1860's. importing radical european secular liberalism to the universities, you know what the reason was, no american university head -- could give you a graduate degree. you had to get to europe to get it. you go to europe and in the mid-1800s, you steady german university. we get the most radical secular enlightenment used brought back to america. it got and cost in our universities. by the end of the 1800's it formed the foundation of our entire understanding of the intelligence from the university pushed down to our culture, and part of that was in all, the development of law schools. that is our law schools contaminated. you have to go back to the end of the 1800's to find that out. one of the things that the imported, with all due respect, was this bad idea from the 1905 law. i know. yes. n

the constitution doesn't mandate that church and state be separate that wording comes from a thomas jefferson letter so how does this violate the right to practice your religion . well i mean that argument that the constitution doesn't say separation of church and state the constitution doesn't say a lot of things we use phrases all the time doesn't say separation of powers but we certainly have liver or tripartite government with a separation of powers we have all sorts of things people use short hand phrases the idea is that well i can the exact wording is congress shall make no law respecting which means having anything to do with an establishment of religion and if you look at what the framers were talking about they were talking about exactly things like this where the government takes a view and advocates for that you and excludes other people. and of course the motto in god we trust is not just on currency it's also written prominently in the chambers of the house of representatives so why focused just on currency here well i mean do you need standing to bring a case we don't have stan

future will be dependent on the state which is engineered the removal of god something that thomas jefferson -- his wall of separation phrase in the banbury calculation was never meant to mean separation of church and state. it was meant to mean the government cannot interfere with church and the aclu played a major part in that. now, in some ways my next book the what w whi is about o the election is a continuation of the same thing. what i'm pointing out is you must understand that the obama campaign in 2008 and in 2012 for game changers. of the republican party -- mitt romney -- i spent three weeks as the traveling press with mitt romney campaigning flying in on the romney campaign airplane. the last day of the campaign that rodney king to the end of the session and said he hadn't even written a concession speech to the and he was that confident he was going to win. the chief strategist of the romney campaign if he were equally confident, and he was, the whole idea is he said that a good message, a good campaign message would be the ground game any time. he said i'm not so sure of that. t

i'm not going to forget thomas jefferson standing here in washington d.c., but i will tell you, woodrow wilson attended what was then the college of new jersey and princeton. he graduated in 1879. he had political trends already. his great aspiration was to become as i discovered going through his papers because he had once made a little business card, homemade business card that said thomas woodrow wilson, senator from virginia. and that was the dream then. the way to achieve that was to become a lawyer because most presidents began their professional lives as lawyers. also as you notice, senator from virginia because virginia had that more men to the right has been anybody in history. so wilson went to the university of virginia law school and there he studied law, but really didn't like the study of it so much. after a year or two, he moved down to atlanta, opened a law office. he was really a terrible lawyer. in his year or two down there, he obtained no clients. he's up spending the afternoons reading. he read a lot of history. he read a lot of what was actually becoming a new disc
