washington. he talks about washington's early years at tuskegee university and looks at the ideological platform which encouraged african americans to establish their own economic base. washington helped create many institutions for african-americans, like the national negro business league, he also had opposition to his ideas, both during his lifetime and since. professor fontenot compares the ideas and tactics of booker t. washington and martin luther king, jr. this class is about an hour and 20 minutes. >> remember we have been talking about booker t. washington and some of you disagree that washington in fact is a seminal figure that i have insisted that he is. because i made a statement in class that many of you disagreed with when i said washington was the most important and most influential african-american leader until the election of president barack obama. he is even more significant in some ways because booker t. washington was never elected to a public office. president barack obama w

washington washington. they were closely connected. that was part of the inspiration, one of those things that built up toward realizing that we needed a stronger union if we were going to have prosperity at home, respect abroad. a future did lie in a stronger union. those were the three. ou could say future and they shared those concerns very much. any other questions? one more i'm told by the person who runs this whole place really, despite what other people and he does an amazing job. sounded encredibly busy up there on the map. what was he doing back at mount vernon? >> he was restoring his place to profitability. what do they say that needs to get done? give it to a busy person. that's certainly true with washington. think of the other founders like washington, madison, john adams, ben franklin, alexander hamilton . hamilton was keeping a law ractice going while he was writing the constitution. i fear the general reputation of washington out there in the land is that he's like a wax figure, unlike a li

washington. -- reminds me of myself, right? booker t. washington. not only with tuskegee institute did booker t. washington make a significant impact. we talked about washington and his impact as well with other -- what we call now hbcu's, that because of washington's influence he was able to open up opportunities for other hbcu's to become land-grant colleges. to get not only land, but moneys from the state and the federal government. and because of booker t. washington, many hbcu's became proficient and also viable. although by 1900, tuskegee institute boasted an endowment of $1.5 million. that was a lot of money back then. that is a lot of money now, as far as i'm concerned. that was a lot of money back then to have as an endowment, especially for a black university. also, in 1900, booker t. washington starts the national negro business league. here's a picture of the national ofof the executive committee the national negro business league. this league, this business league, was started, washi

george washington turned to peer long phone to design the city of washington that would house our federal government institutions, and he was a frenchman who had come here in the passion of the revolutionary war. we had many supporters from the french. he was one of them, and he designed a plan based on democratic principles. first of all, he selected the highest point that was to be in the city of washington to serve as the site of the legislative ranch, and this is very important. after all, our founding fathers had rebelled against the monarchy of king george iii, and what they were trying to establish was the importance of democracy and the power of the people. so the highest elevation was set for the legislative house. that became known as the united states capital. been banneker selected a site right in the heart of the city for the executive mansion as it was then called. this was to signify that the president was to live and work in the heart of the people that he was to serve. to this day, the executive mansion or the white house, as it has been known since the presidency of theo

washington was a liminal space. i doubt these women could have written so freely about native men in this way in the west in the 19th century. it would have been more threatening. because there was a perception even at the time that there was not a huge native presence in the city or that any native presence in the city was a transient, temporary presence, i think allowed it to be more ok. it was less of an affront to any sort of racial order. i'm excited to see if i can find more examples of that. >> when your work here is concluded, what do you hope to do with your findings? >> this is a book project. i published my first book with university of north carolina and i'm hoping to work with the press again on this book. there is an amazing visual aliment to this project as well. part of the project is about a movement of people. in addition to a standard monograph, which will focus on washington d c, and not only will the native people in the historical record be the main characters, but the city itself will be a mai

perhaps the solitary block on george washington's character, in fact, washington, d.c. was one of the greatest evils the people of the united states suffered. it should be destroyed and annihilated. that's all from the house debate. members of both side indicated their awareness that the decision to come south to the potomac had been a matter of barter. a north carolina representative threatened that if the removal bill passed the house, he would immediately call for the repeal of 1790 funding act. after a week of consideration, a motion to continue debate failed 5 1-35. on august 24th, 1814, british general robert ross burned several buildings in washington. americans at the time, and as pointed out this morning, british after the fact considered it retaliation for the american burning of government buildings at york, canada. perhaps only one government building and perhaps not the american army after all. this provided the burning of the public buildings provided opponents of the location with an opportunity to argue for removal without having to did he mean the city.

railroads came to washington in his time. hotels became numerous in the town had many visitors on business. political business, mostly. this trend would continue through time calling for a different requirement to suit different political circumstances and philosophical ideas. the white house never lost its association with president washington, but moved beyond that, gaining greater fame and respect and legend when madison pulled it back from ruin and monroe emphasized it with his grandeur. as time passed, the building's symbolism gained a less abstract presence and more substance through the lives of those who lived there by the succession of presidents. each with his own story, each with his own achievements and occasionally failures. it was increasingly seen that a president lived his life as president entirely in that symbolic place. and became a part of his history, as well as that of the house. all presidents that have to ask themselves what do i do about the white house? even doing nothing to it is subject to interpre

why can't washington do better? >> i think washington doesn't do better by them because washington isn't trying to do better by them. if you look at washington as a whole, i think this is the fundamental problem in our system right now. washington works for those who can hire armies of lobbyists, armies of lawyers, and get just the rules they want. it doesn't work for families. raise the minimum wage. nobody should work full time and still live inpoverty. minimum wage nationally hasn't been raised in over seven years. we need to make sure we have real rules on equal pay to equal work. we need to lower the interest rate on student loans. in every case, we, in the united states senate, have a majority. all of the democrats have voted in favor of this. occasionally, we even pick up a republican. the republicans have filibustered in the senate. they won't even bring things to a vote in the house of representatives. this is really a case where one party has said the usual rules of governing, you know, we'll come together

and, in fact, washington, d.c. exist.t under the constitution and then under a specific act of congress designated that maryland would cede a certain part of their in which the nation's capitol would be built. this would be a ten-year process because they were projecting this is going to be one of the grandest cities to exist in the time and it would take ten years to make this of the reason they said maryland and virginia is because these were slave states. southerners who control the -- and dominated the colonies f the 13 sure that the south and slavery in particular was being protected in this process. conceived this notion of the white o build house and the capitol in the whole city. now, who's going do this building. now george washington initially europeans.ted white and they put the call out but they're not a lot of white want to get in a boat and come over to the new country rocks trees and throw out on the side of the road. so they had very, very little recruiting. so they turned to who they turn to, who b

it's a pathetic excuse by "the washington post" on a piece of reporting by "the washington post."e courage yet or the integrity to acknowledge what it did wrong in framing dr. melineck's comments for "the washington post" readers. and the only reason "the washington post" ran this correction today is because i exposed "the washington post's" terrible reporting here on this program. we can hope that this is the last time i have to force one of america's great newspaper fos rewrite their reporting on the killing of michael brown. the reporters at "the new york times" and "the washington post" whose mistakes i've exposed who are exposed know a lot more than i do know a lot of things. i wrote a book about the illegal and legal use of police force. there is no subject that i know better than police use of deadly force. since "the new york times" graciously accepted my criticism of their reporting, i have not found fault with any of their reporting in the michael brown case. knowing that critics like me are looking over their shoulders has sharpened "the times" approach to the story. be

dc -- washington, d.c.. mindless cuts. myopponent has got to -- opponent has voted to cut the cdc, the nih. it is sad but true -- let me find this. "this week, the nih director says if we had not gone through a ten-year slide in research support, we would have had a taxi than time for this that would have gone through clinical trials and would have been ready -- had a vaccine in time for this that would have gone through clinical trials and would have been ready in time for this." running my a part of small business, i've watched my family pay the bills. do, if youu have to cannot make ends meet, you do not make mindless cuts. you have to think carefully about what is going to happen. you're to think about what is important to keep americans safe. have to think about what is important to keep americans safe. we have seen an international coalition come together, and that is critical. but we need to keep our nurses and first responders safe. and we need the support of research and development that goes on at

they don't need washington, d.c. tying strings to it. >> the auto public school system needs help no question. , we spent less per state than any other state per pupil, less than even mississippi. i agree that we need to minimize regulations and strings that are attached to the money that comes from the federal government. the programs are well intended, but oftentimes with the federal government there are excessive regulations. one of the things i bring to the table is having worked inside the federal government and having worked at the sec, i have an understanding of these one -- runaway bureaucracies and agencies and how we need to keep them in check and not let them over regulate various aspects of our lives, including education. >> let's go to the panel now. dr. wetherbee. you will director question beginning with mr. mitchell. you?at kind of democrat answer, tell us someone in the senate you identify with philosophically and ideologically? >> i am an idaho democrat. i do not necessarily subscribe to any califor

a bout of influenza hit washington, d.c. george washington. a very precarious time for the country. homas jefferson runs into alexander hamilton, well polished, well dressed, clean looking none of those things in front of the house. jefferson said, what's wrong? nuts over going this. and what thomas jefferson did wine okered a deal over and food in his house between james madison, the leader of the pposition to this plan and alexander hamilton. madison wasn't going to vote for the plan, but he will not be too strenuous in his opposition. there's some speculation that he additional votes that hamilton needed to put him over the top. turn around, use the influence, the leverage with the northern states who badly select a bill to potomac site for the nation's capital. this is the first great three ise, the first of for the civil war. this kept the country together. what would have been different monroe had been there instead of madison. aside from the bill of rights, biggest objection of to the constitution was the power of the executive. he had gone to war to risk his tyrant. a he was

at the age of 93 at his home in washington. survived by his wife of 36 years. joining me now is my friend, gene robinson and editor for the washington post. i should say that eugene has been at the washington post for 34 year and knew ben bradlee longer than that. >> it's great to be here, rachel. where else could i be on this night night? >> ben was the great american newspaper editor certainly of his time, i believe of our time. if report you've said a few words that define beb's place in history. almost as an aside, he revolutionized the way newspaper reporters can write their stories in this country. in 1969, it was for and about women. that was revolutionary. nobody had done that before. changed the way newspapers are written in this country: and that's just a footnote to this amazing career and his amazing life. he was not just a newspaper editor, he was a glaet man. he, i guess one of his few 65s,[ mistakes was hiring me at the washington post in 1980 to cover marionbarry. i could tell personal stories all evening, inclu

coming up, oppressive as washington's overlords maybe. we should be glad we live in america because other places are much worse. killed anyone he considered an intellectual. gaddafi employed a squad of virgin female bodyguards. >> the least productive congress in american history. stossel: the mainstream media routinely complain about the do-nothing congress. but why? we're better off with a do-nothing congress or at least a congress that does less. much of what congress does in the name of solving problems, takes our freedom, increases spending and ends up creating worse problems. i'm happy when we have gridlock. americans often say they want bipartisan, but, again, why? bipartisan brings us some of our worst laws. people say that they hate congress. and they are right to hate congress. it's filled with pandering opportunists and when those teuntsz opportunists get together, they pass awful rules. congress repealed the law preventing them from trading stocks based on insider trading. that vote was unanimous. >> without objection, the bil

that's the washington post's case.n, woman, and child in cuba should be punished by a united states embargo, because the washington post is unsatisfied with cuba's investigation of a car accident. here is the washington post's demand. the precise details of what happened are unknown and need to be cleared up by a credible investigation. the washington post offers no definition of what a credible investigation is. cuba has already investigated the case and convicted the driver of the car of vehicular manslaughter, the vehicular manslaughter of the passenger, a cuban dissident who was himself opposed to the embargo. it is in his name that the washington post wants to continue the embargo, that he was opposed to. the washington post believes that our foreign policy with cuba should be based entirely on the word of one politician from spain, angel cormeiro, in which the man was killed. the driver said he didn't see a sign indicating dangerous road conditions and he drove into a tree. he was allowed to go home to spain. and

to the frustration of much of his party's del quation in washington -- delegation in washington, but conservatives balked because it included tax increases. he insisted on that. in hindsight, was conservative inflexibility on this matter a mistake? >> yes. yes, it was. social security is one of the most successful programs of legislation that's ever been enacted in the united states of america. and it's not really in trouble. they want you to think that it is, but it's not. it needs a little bit of help. probably all we really need to do is to remove the cap on payroll taxes, people that make more than $117,000 a year are not paying into the social security system. i think that ought to be removed. that may do the job by itself. but if not, what would be left would be a very small percent increase in the payroll tax, which according to the government's figures would solve the problem for the united states government for 75 years. $5 trillion of the national debt is because the federal government borrowed the money from the social security trust fund and the medicare trust fund. if we

they're seeing washington not working for them. that's where the third parties come in. >> where do you make of michael's point where there is no such thing of an independent once you get here. you may be an independent back home, and when you're running statewide races and commercials. >> i think on one hand that is true. but we're seeing further fracturing on the hill. the divides are very deep and intense. more and more members of that caucus are bucking leadership and trying to push out speaker boehner that don't typically jive with what you would expect from them. so on the one hand, yes, people are going to be part of a certain party team. but on the other hand these riffs are becoming more acute. >> functioning you have to caucus. i spent time as a senior stauffer, i worked on the house side, you have to caucus with somebody or you don't get assi assigned to committees, you get nothing done. these guys have to come to washington and make a choice. but the power of leadership in the house has gone way down. and member are muc

but think about that for a second, we called that place washington, washington?. washington built this government. he united this nation. he overcame gridlock and he led. well, a new book, the return of george washington shows exactly how he did it. it tells a story of the critical six years after the revolutionary war where through washington's leadership a constitution was created and a union was formed. joining us now from that other washington is the book's author who won the pulitzer prize for history. >> thank you very much. good to be here. >> we assume he went straight from the revolutionary war to being president. but there were six years in between that we totally overlook. the six years were some of the most important years of his life. and in our country's history. >> they certainly were the most important for creating our modern democracy that we now know today. because when the revolution ended, we were left with 13 separate sovereign states looped together with a very, very loose confederation. each state was a republic into itself. it could have i

this is what you see in washington. incident talk about how to address the affordability we have taken an issue like the aca and made a political football. ultimately it prevents them from having to make the hard decisions that we need to make to secure american's future financially. >> my apologies, i'm not sure where that came from. craig anderson, our next question. >> and abortion question. a woman must have an ultrasound with the option of viewing the wait, get counseling and 24 hours. you agree with these regulations and should ultrasounds before abortions be mandated nationwide? >> i've addressed this issue many times before. what i've said on this issue is that as a man i am not going to have to face the hard decision that women have to face. i trust women of kansas are smart and they can make decisions on their own about their own reproductive health. with that said i think we spend a lot of time in this country talking about this issue and we have spent a lot of time over the last couple of decades talking abo

washington, d.c. did not exist. underthe constitution and a specific act of congress in 1790 it was designated that virginia and maryland would see a part of their territory in which the nation's capital would be built. a 10 year process. they were projecting this would be one of the grandest cities to exist in the world at the time. it would take 10 years to make this happen. now, part of the reason they said maryland and virginia was these were slave states. southerners who controlled the politics of the 13 colonies wanted to make sure that the south and slavery in particular was protected in this process. notion of 10d this years to build the white house and the whole city. who is going to do the building? george washington initially said he wanted white europeans. they put the call out. there were not a lto g over thee over to the new country and did trees and throw rocks. success very little recruiting. they turned to who they usually turn to, who built most of the grand bill during this -- grand buildings, peo

but washington, d.c. doesn't. so that is the battle we face in that culture in washington. these career-politicians have been there too long and we need to change the house and senate by electing more men and women. >> isn't that bill just symbolic? congress still gets paid if it passes because it only reduces a portion of the salary. >> daines: no, it would impact the current and future congress. that is why we have resistance from members of congress. we had discussions and they said that might mean i don't get paid. that is exactly the reason i introduced that bill. because if congress refuses to balance the budget they will not get paid. we need to hit members of congress in their pocket books because they are hitting us in their pocket book. >> a quick rebuttal. >> curtis: i don't know if you are familiar with the average earnings in congress, but i can guarantee newt not a single one of them is worried about loosing their salary. and if all of congressman daines ads were telling the truth i would not have to be standing in front of you. >> moderator: jacky your next.

they are frustrated with washington and they should be. -- i have not been in washington very long, but i have been there long enough to know washington needs change. it could use more of the comments as i learned growing up on a farm. it could use leadership and courage. washington simply is not working for arkansas families. wages are down, prices are up, obamacare is a disaster it, and we are $18 trillion in debt. parents are worried about their kids future. so am i. my wife and i are expecting our first child. we do not want her baby to have a future that is less prosperous and less safe. that is the future of obama's policies. less prosperity, lesson safety and security. senator pryor has voted with 93% of the time and he cast a deciding vote for obama care. there is a better way. let's get the economy going. let's for po obamacare. let's balance the budget. let's rebuild the military. fors stop apologizing america. cotton, the 188 fighter wings mission was previously changed. it may have been transferred out of state. the river valley was promised new jobs when drones were added t

that has to come from washington d.c. voters have to make a which i choice, who can best do it in the trenches and do it? the tea party is a block towards broad based coalition for change. my tea party candidate would make what's wrong with washington worse. of the. >> i thought all we needed was an executive order. >> you don't have to interrupt me what i am talking. we need to make sure we have stability back in washington not the kind of aggressive tea party attacks. >> would you support a drivers license like other states have? >> i would supports comprehensive system to this reform. we're on the verge to do that if we can get the tea party in the house to set down. >> the executive order is what he said is the solution, if it's a solution that comes out of washington but it's something that will foul the move for getting the program the problem out of the way with a comprehensive solution, i'm a negotiator, i worked with liberal democrats to achieve immigration reform in the bush years, we failed, but it was a major

i don't think americans see washington that way. they see washington not working for them. >> what do you both think of michael's point really there is no such thing as an independent once you get here. you may be an independent back home and when you're running statewide races. >> i think one hand it's absolutely true. but on the other hand we're seeing more fracturing on the hill. in the republican caucus its divide and tense and more members of that caucus are bucking the system and trying to push out speaker boehner and photoing on foreign policies that do not jive what you would expect from them. people are going to be part of a certain party team, but on the other happened a lot of these riffs are becoming more acute. >> functionally you have to caucus for something. i'm a senior staffer, i'm on the house side. you have to caucus for something or you don't get assigned to committees and get nothing done. i will say this, the power of leadership in particular in the house has gone way down. and members are much freer to vote to

washington is alive to play another day. top of the seventh inning, two on, nobody out, wilson ramos lays down the bunt. toison baumgartner throws third for some reason. here comes harper, trying to score from first. 2-0 nationals. he beat the throw. it was like somebody put a key in the lock. hits,ts woke up, seven four runs, including a monster home run from harper, new life for washington. >> we had our backs against the wall and we came out swinging tonight. the guys were playing together, communicating well, and that is huge for us. we need to carry that into tomorrow and the guys are excited. >> that was a big win today. the series may have turned. going homen out, after tomorrow's game regardless of what happens. why not take the giants with them and force game five. >> you said it. about whetherk i'm going to go or not if they come back. check this out -- folks in the crowd at at&t park, there were some nats fans. suzanne kennedy is live in san francisco. she was able to track down some of these fans. leon, after sat

they don't need washington, d.c. tying strings to it. >> the idaho public school system needs hevment no question about it. we spend less per pupil than any other state in the country, less than even mississippi. idaho schools do need help. i agree with the senator, though, that when we get help from the federal government we need to minimize the regulations and the strings attached to the money that comes from the federal government. some of the -- the programs are well-intentioned but oftentimes with the federal government there is excessive regulations. one with of the things that i bring to the table is having worked inside the federal government and having worked at the s.e.c., i've got an understanding of these run-away bureaucracies and agencies and how we need to keep them in check and not let them overregulate various aspects of our lives, including education. >> let's go to our panelists now. doctor, you'll direct your question beginning with mr. mitchell. >> my question is, what kind of democrat are you? a

to washington, d.c. to work with me. i hear from them over and over again. their biggest challenge as far as d.c. is concerned is that every time pc does something by giving them money or something else, they attach all kinds of federal strings to it. i could not agree with them more. we can run these school district ourselves right here in idaho. the legislature can do this. they don't need washington, d.c. tying strings to it. >> mr. mitchell. public school system needs al, no question. we spent less per state -- than any other state per pupil, less than even mississippi. that we need to minimize regulations and strings that are money that comes from the federal government. the programs are well intended, federalntimes with the government there are excessive regulations. one of the things i bring to the table is having worked inside the federal government and having worked at the sec, i have an understanding of these one away bureaucracies and agencies and how we need to keep them in -- let themt the o
