i agree with you that washington -- you've said and written that washington would not agree with the notion of american exceptionalism today. can you explain that? >> there is a letter washington writes in 1783. it's the last of the circular letters to the states. it's probably the most profound letter washington ever wrote, and he actually wrote it, okay? washington did not write the farewell address, hamilton wrote it. it was washington's ideas, but nevertheless. he says we're coming into existence as a new nation, even though we're not a nation yet, and we have these enormous advantages. we have the oceans to protect us, we have this boundless continent -- of course, he's not talking about the fact there's all these native americans there. we begin with the biggest trust fund, he says, of any new nation. so we have all these advantages, okay? and that -- so it's our very uniqueness that means you shouldn't expect other countries to be able to duplicate this easily. and that's the exact opposite of the meaning that most people using the term "american exceptionalism," so washington

washington and judge mathe judge may have shard similar concerns, but of course only martha washingtonas allowed to express content and sorrow. everyone knew it including her frightened slaves. robert lucas would soon be made aware of it when he arrived at the estate things were in disarray between 1789 and 81 to escort his own and grandchildren to new york but was surprised and a bit concerned when he arrived to find a frenzied and hectic scene. the manifestation of the conflicting feelings. it was an emotional moment for the slaves and first lady after an early dinner making arrangements that brought us to 3:00 in the afternoon when we left mounts be. a number of the field negroes made their appearance to take leave of their mistress. they seemed greatly agitated and effective. her mother must have been one of those agitated slaves. she was losing her songs also. they would have joined in the morning. he watched the children leave mount vernon a reminder of what little control they had over the lives of their children. if she found a comfort in that day. still she knew the relationsh

washington. lafayette of course is french and had gone to military school there. and he heard about the american revolution, he immediately embraced the ideals of the revolution and said i must , serve. he paid his own way to come to america and offered his services to george washington, didn't speak any english. and he winds up at valley forge. that is really where he sort of learns english from the other officers. washington and lafayette had a very mutually and affectionate friendship. lafayette was young enough to be washington's son. and so throughout the american revolution, lafayette is very close to washington, at his side, on his command that. but he is not just hanger on, he was a very successful military strategists, and his skills are very important at the battle of yorktown, the culminating battle in the american revolution. lafayette led a large number of forces and was very able as a military commander. after the american revolution, lafayette goes back to paris. he survives the fr

one of the questions you're asking this week is is washington changing him or he changing washington. probably both, right? >> my panel concluded, hands down, washington's winning. . >> why? i would think you would say that right now, right? >> in the first 100 days they have had the upper hand. whether it's stopping obamacare, whether it's frankly changing the president's mind on china. changing the president's mind on nato. holding him back from the brink on nafta. vice president took a little issue with the idea that washington's winning. he believes that they are making progress here in bringing change, but i think that the biggest struggle they have is that when you look at it, there's two ways to look at the first 100 days. one hand it's a ramp-up and you don't want to be judged and you have your term remaining. if you look at the president. things get even harder. and this has been a very difficult first 100 days for him, small legislative victories. how is this going to look in the next 18 months? it's not clear. >> well talking with the vice president, that's not the only exc

john: when donald trump talks about the swamp of washington is talking about self-dealing between washington insiders and the politically connected. that comes in many forms. the optic high wall street movement was angry because as they see it wa enables corporate greed. [chanting] corporate greed has got to go. john: corporate welfare, that's a different point those protesters have a lot of silly ideas but they are right to complain about welfare for corporations. after the housing bubble bursts, banks got real doubts with your money. they paid it back but it might not have been paid back and it might not be next time. when big business goes to washington to partner with politicians it really means they seek privilege is from government. subsidies and rules that make it tougher for competitors -- competitors. the result? >> americans understand the bailouts are bad. they want the swamp drained but if you understand much of government that they like ads to the problem. this picture of an iceberg explains it pretty well. bailouts are visible but just as damaging our regulations, subsidies, th

in washington for my election. very few members of congress or the major lobbying groups or distinguished democratic leaders played much role in my election. there was not that tie of campaign that ordinarily would have occurred if i was not able to win the nomination by myself. i think they felt they were on the outside. >> it is a cautionary tale for outsiders coming into the white house, but it is also a cautionary tale for thinking you know enough to get by in those first few months and realizing that you do not. >> first your project is an effort we have been working on for almost three years, since my arrival in january 2015, but even before that, about how we take our historical assets, the archives we have built through oral history and transcribing secret oval office recordings, the network of scholars and practitioners we are in touch with, and take the lessons of all of that history and project it forward to the current president. it is a series of case studies, but also a series of directed interviews w

i will tell you in part how that works for washington. recall the famous phrase, he was eulogized when he passed away in 1799. that is not even three years after he left the presidency. as first inized war, first in peace and first in the heart of his countrymen. we go back to the revolutionary war where he is the commander in chief of the american forces, fighting off the british to become independent and not a colony. the very first thing he had to learn -- dr. greg has walked a lot -- written a lot about this. ashington was not always successful military man. he was not successful in leaving troops in the french and in dian war. he had to learn to distinguish the obvious from the not obvious. here is one, make sure you locate the latrines are a enough away you are not expecting your troops -- in fact in your troops -- infecting your troops with diseases. effective was learn intelligence gathering. obvious, he had to learn under the circumstances of the revolutionary war. beneficial most intelligence. establish clear rules, this is pret

we can turn our attention to kerry washington.from mount vernon and joined the british army where he found liberation from bondage and immigrated to sierra leone. he joined another revolution against the british in that african colony. we can know that he embodied an american spirit of revolution as certainly as george. 75 years after the declaration of independence, the great abolitionist frederick douglass famously asked, what to the slave is the fourth of july? his answer an inspiration to , overthrow the tyranny of his day, to side with the right against the wrong with the weak against the strong and with to -- with the oppressed to the oppressor, he said. here lies of those revolutionaries and many that have followed. like douglas, most americans are not content with reassuring origin stories. we work now for the prospect of the better future with past struggles as our guide. we see the american revolution in its own historical present, we look not only on the grand -- grander of long dead heroes. we appreciate the efforts of

washington was not always a successful military man. he was not successful in leaving troops in the french and indian war. he had to learn to distinguish the obvious from the not obvious. here is one, make sure you locate the latrines are a enough away you are not expecting your -- infecting your troops with diseases. pretty obvious. the second was learn effective intelligence gathering. that was less obvious, he had to learn under the circumstances of the revolutionary war. how to find most beneficial intelligence. establish clear rules, this is pretty clear, no drunkenness in the ranks, no cursing in the ranks. these were rules he put into place. he knew that he was not a great orator. he is the least skilled in oratory of the three great presidents. he only had a grade school education but he tended to be rather soft-spoken. he was not a great orator. he tended to get nervous in crowds. having said that, he presented a commanding figure. how did he do this? first of all, he was 6'2". in that era, when the average man was 5'7" would b

martha washington and george washington married -- it was her second marriage. all of the money was her. when he married her, he made a really good catch. her first husband had died, and she was accustomed to considerable comfort and wealth in virginia where she lived with her first husband. and so, she transfers that tell that she has already amassed as the hea wife of a wealthy plantation owner. somebody liket martha washington and save the frilly nest of her outfit, i think that balances really well with the focus of the piercing gaze she gives us. again, this is somebody not to be messed with. in stature, but i think she was mighty in personality. and charles willson peale's portrait of her is a wonderful study in determination. just look at that chin. she is not somebody that is going to acquiesce to anyone, even her husband, president george washington. a talked about left yet as young man, his portrait done during the american revolution. here he is again in 1825 when he comes to is it america on the eve of the 50th anniversary of the american revolution.
