thomas jefferson gave it his enthusiastic endorsement. it was astor's idea to try and capture, essentially, all the furs in the western part of the american continent, funnel them through a settlement at the mouth of the columbia river and sell them to china. and in china these furs -- and especially sea otterrer furs -- would fetch extremely high prices because the chinese mandarins, for instance, used sea otter furs which were extremely luxurious, something like a hundred -- a million hairs per square inch. i think the fine itself, most densely coat of any mammal in the world. the chinese mandarins would pay incredible prices for these furs. so astor, he was not the first ship here on the west coast, but he was one of the earlier ones, and he came up with this idea of sending trade goods from new york around cape horn by ship to the mouth of the columbia, trading them to the coastal indians here for furs, trading things like knives and beads and pots and then taking those furs to china, trading them to the chinese for, you know, incredi

thomas jefferson said there is no role for the federal government and education.if we want one, we need to pass an amendment to the constitution to do this. he was for changing the constitution to get a role for education but he said how is that we have all of these teacher training programs costing billions of dollars a year running out of washington to train teachers who are a local and community and state responsibility? how do we get there? and does anybody know if they are improving teacher training? there are two questions one is what is the constitutional role of the federal government. certainly when we passed this to say here's the metrics we are going to use to measure or whether the teacher training programs are effective. >> we are focused on making sure that we can't eliminate the barriers to getting those networks in place, building out these networks is our priority. so sometimes there are local siting issues and sometimes there are federal rules that might affect how we deploy things or what the impact might be on historical site for the environmen

words spoken by thomas jefferson, who said "a little rebellion now and then is a good thing." our country is in peril. our deficit is at a record amount. our economy, the economic recovery is stagnant. our place in the world is weakened. so i have a simple solution. it is time for a little rebellion on the battlefield of ideas. [cheers and applause] instead of looking to washington to find the front lines of the battle, i ask you to look to the states. where we find the laboratories of innovation. 50 different experiments in democracy are taking place. among the states, we see two visions for america. there is the vision common in blue states where the state plays an increasing role in the lives of citizens. taxes are on the rise, pensions are out of control, and jobs are leaving by the truckloads. then there is the vision common to red america.

in fact james madison, the father of our constitution, had a very nice exchange with thomas jeffersonwho called the closing of the constitutional convention an abominable precedent. madison said, you've got it completely wrong. you need a yielding an accommodative spirit. the minds of the members were changing. it was very important it be secret. i wouldn't say that about all negotiations, but if you have a family or business deciding what to do, the idea that that is going to be televised, i don't think that is right. a deliberative process deserves an area of privacy. >> why do you think the president said that through the campaign? >> i haven't seen the clip. i'm alert the fact that sometimes public figures are said to have said things they didn't quite say. the president has, i think, a really good track record of thinking things through and figuring them out before he says them. legislation the openness of the negotiation process, i don't have an absolute view on it. the idea that we want to have all negotiations open, i think that would be a very hard position to defend. >> the

thomas jefferson is somebody we remember as a glamorous figure. george washington in some ways, and, of course, in recent history, more recent history, president kennedy is somebody associated with glamour. >> why would president kennedy be associated with glamour and someone like ronald reagan would not? >> i think ronald reagan was. somebody who was both glamorous and charismatic, which is fairly unusual in a politician, but the main reason he was not as glamorous as president kennedy is that he did not die. he took an assassin's bullet. it is part of what makes kennedy so glamorous, that we remember him as his life cut short and the potential that could have been, so he was glamorous in his day, because he represented rich, handsome guy, a naval war hero, and he had a wife, and he had children, but also in memory, he can take on whatever views you want, and i wrote about this. the assassination. you have people who are hawkish neoconservatives who say if kennedy had lived, he would have done what i wanted. you have people who are former vietnam

certainly a lot of people with agrarian interests and we also had people like ben franklin and thomas jefferson and these are people that were authors and so they were very interested in this issue than the constitution itself says that congress shall have the power to promote the progress in science and industry in the useful art by securing this to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries. and so the first copyright was passed in 1790. in it it says that there is a very early on and that is a halfpenny. and parents of science and industry. this was a centrally important thing for us. the thing about our early copyright law is that it did involve formalities at registration. you have to register your copyright to get it in the copyright notice that is on your work and it's a very short-term, 14 years. see you would think that that would bring us into this and we started having international problems. the most famous of which is charles dickens. because i forgot to mention something very important to you. american copyrights before them solely. if y

ask yourself, thomas jefferson says there's no role for the federal government in education.if we want one we need to pass an amendment to the constitution to do. now, he was for changing the constitution to get a role for education, but he says there wasn't a how is it with all these teacher training programs run by the federal government costing a billion dollars a year, run out of washington to train teachers who are actually a local and community and state responsibility ask how did we get there? and oh, by the way, does anybody know if they're actually improving teacher training? actually improving the skills of our teachers. so there's really to question. one, what's the constitutional role of the federal government in that? and number two, if there's a legitimate role but even if it isn't come you're spending the money, shouldn't you know, shouldn't, when we pass this, so here's the metrics in which we're going to use to measure what is not a teacher training program is effective? >> you can watch all of the programs featured over the past hour, and numerous other prog
