washington and adams. benjamin rush. ,ne of the greatest patriots father of psychiatric medicine, abolitionist society, a great leader, and a signer of the declaration. this is what he wrote. i lament that we waste so much time and money in punishing crimes and take so little pains to prevent them. we profess to be republicans and yet we neglect the only means of establishing and perpetuating our republican form of government. that is the universal education of our youth and the principles of christianity by means of the bible. for this divine book, above all others, favors equality among mankind, respect for just laws and all of those sober and frugal virtues that constitute the sole of republicanism. that is founding ideology. the values of the scriptures will support the republic. time,rap up, i am over that i am a presbyterian minister. we disregard the clock for you turn it in. forgive us. as i wrap up, i am moving towards the goal line. give me a couple extra minutes. washington sat down and wrote an

was --h washington spoke washington spoke was successful, it was largely forgotten. we found it in a cottage and it remains an important resource in our staff library. the stories are far too important to be on so few shelves. hasunately, dr. masur reintroduced this to a larger audience. please join me in welcoming dr. catekate masur. almost 10 years ago, before the lincoln bicentennial, it felt like new books were coming out on lincoln almost weekly. it was not uncommon for people to say, what more could possibly be written about lincoln. so i chuckled when i read in the book that after the lincoln centennial in 1909, people were saying the same thing. how did john washington prove them wrong? kate: it is funny, and i like that line two. this slate of lincoln related stuff came out during the centennial, what more could possibly be written? john washington proved them wrong. it is so obvious and simple and yet it had not happened. despite all of that attention on lincoln, very few people, really anyone who had access to publications, had asked the question, what did

but washington got his letter to the editor published in the washington star. he said all you have to go is talk to black people in washington, and you will find out that elizabeth did exist. it turns out that these papers are at the library of congress. i was able to go and find out her side of the story. she found this out. it seemed like she was a bit abashed about this. she went and interviewed washington, and he sent her to interview other people. she published this follow-up story, and it is good. it says, it turns out a lot of people knew elizabeth after all. and also she says something i quoted in the introduction. she went to the zones and found that in the homes of african-americans in washington was so much history. there were so many stories and photos and objects. and she was taken with that. and i was interested in the fact that in her little journal, like a daily diary, she said, wrote correction. she knew it was a correction. it appeared to be just a follow-up story, but in her personal diary she said i correct. anyway, that is what spurred wash

washington, george martha washington, george washington's secretary, his anderson, hisohn manager. ezra was the lease or of the property. by two gentlemen and john anderson again. that is a document signed by key players at mount vernon. you're the first on camera to see this document. these are original pictures of george and marcia -- george and martha washington. the document itself is a document put together by an onorney and put together august 8, 1799. the lease or signed it. washington wrote this, him and march the -- and martha and john anderson signed it. these are done in a dark pen and these are done a lighter pen. it also has the exact same seal on his will. he only wrote to nine letters from the time this was written until he died three months later. two of those letters were written to his secretary of war and one written to a personal friend of his. this is a document that has never been seen that is in this home. it will stay in this house even if we sell the house. i had nine homes here in the city of alexandria i have renovated over the last 20 years. i married a

he loved to draw washington weather. he loved to talk about washington weather. we're talking about it right now. this cartoon was done on march 21st, 1920, and it has to do with the coming of spring. and you see old man winter. he's sitting in front of a pot bellied stove. he has his bag seemingly ready packed to go. and you have spring, the young spring with her beautiful flowery hat on admonishing him saying, you know, you were supposed to be gone by midnight. well, this year it was particularly cold spring and so winter stayed a few extra days and berryman and the washington public were very unhappy with that occurrence. >>> and finally, if you've ever spent any time in washington, d.c. in the summer, you know it is oppressively hot and humid. and that was the case when -- in 1899 when this cartoon was published and this is the oldest cartoon we have we're showing you today. it has to do with mefisto who is a devil sitting on a park bench in washington, d.c. you see the washington monument behind him sweating. and he's fanning himself saying, what have i done

washington nationals. in that year in the summer, the washington senators were ahead of the american league for most of the time but around the same time the new york yankees were trying to creep in and take the lead for the american league. and you see in the cartoon washington driving the car with the yankee trying to come in and say i like this front seat and washington says, no, i'm not through with driving yet. and that year, which was a rarity for washington sports fans, the senators went on to win the world series over the new york giants. this next cartoon has to deal with another common theme in berryman's cartoon with government workers. while most of the federal government employees aren't in the washington, d.c. area, when he was drawing this, he was really thinking about washington workers and federal workers in particular and every year when congress goes to do the appropriations, they decide if they're going to give a cost of living adjustment to the government workers. and he shows the gove

it stayed in the washington family coupon washington's death. when she died it went back to washington estate. he original auction was held in 1749. george bought two lots. lamotte was 118, 1 was 112. george was a good businessman. if you are a farmer you have to know business inside and out. he purchased the slot because it meant something to him. there were two springs in the city of alexandria. george washington knew the mportance of surveying, he knew the importance of ocation. he had to build on the lot within two years. his brother had lost that lot because he didn't build on it. he knew he had to build a house on the slot within two years. that is the townhouse that was built in to him team 57 to 769. george washington asked a friend if he would help subdivide the lot. it ended up being eight parcels. this portion of the lot stayed in the washington estate until robert washington relinquished control of it. it is signed by george washington three months before his death. it's a lease, washington, wife. that's all in his handwriting three

that is the model washington set. critical for every president that follows washington. further, worldview implication. ideas matter. the founding era created certain ideas of republican government. we need to know those ideas even if we disagree with them or want to change them. our world view must take them squarely on and engage them carefully. ideas matter. this is what washington was doing with his christian understanding. integrating christian conceptions of reality with his perspective on government and constitutional republic thinking. a role model for subsequent generations. all of us can find what it looks like to be a leader in the face of danger. and living like a christian. we all need heroes. washington is not a perfect man but let me tell you he is a giant sized hero for us to look at. i may make this a little dramatic. i fought this one a few times. get your religion out of my government. the retort if you understand this is that washington said, religion belongs in government as well as irreligion. we all belong here. this is the freedom of conscience wh

how is washington different? peter: it is dangerous to ask hypotheticals about factual things you have not examined, so i have not done this with all the presidents. i will not address that question, but those that i have looked at, there are the varying levels of christian witness that do show up. some are very unwilling to put a lot of christian language into what they write, and others will clearly do it for political expediency. so, we need to recognize that their private correspondence is the most important, because it is not for show. it is what they communicate. if i were to do the kind of task you gave me, i would want to save their public statements, but in a generally christian america to the extent that was favored, they would speak in that language. but maybe their personal life would have little interest in spiritual things. so, i could give you a method it, but iould pursue will not predict. there are some who have had great christian witness that is part of their life and can demonstrate. washingto

andge washington, washington had children. george washington was from the lawrence washington line. we have been living here five years and we had run out of space in the house. my wife and i made a decision to do an analysis. we went to the city and asked the board of architectural review and looked into the corporate -- looked into the requirements are we cannot build up so we had to build down and we hired an architect and engineer. the engineer broke through the and we dugbelow us down five feet, than six feet, when we went down into the basement to look around, there was a crawlspace about 11 inches. i looked around with a flashlight. when you look to the left, there was a depression in the corner where the new addition had been put. i crawled back to it and i moved all of the dirt away and we found a brick well. i called the archaeologist for the city of alexandria and my wife and i are both historians. my wife is an art history major and we lie to get the city involved right away. i think it is important. we have had fr

in a church in washington, d.c. on the night of december 31, 1862, the day of the issuing of the emancipation proclamation. she describes -- there were a lot of -- during the civil war in washington, especially with some ame churches with prominent pastors, white dignitaries liked to go to these churches and see what was going on there. she described how in advanced going to be were white important people there, and the black minister would be there, and she wanted to be part of it all. there was singing and preaching all day and into the morning, and celebration. so that is a really good story. >> there is a lot of effort that people make to portray lincoln as a racist. is there anything in his work that would reflect either way? kate: yes. this book is very admiring of lincoln. and i want to be clear on this when i am talking about the book, this is not the only view of lincoln. it is not the only view among african-americans of lincoln. even in the early 1920's, w.e.b debois published some snippets on lincoln tha

the same thing with washington. the story of our revolution is often told just through to washs eyes, and deservedly so, but it ignores the fact how did he closed his men, , how did he fed them? it was richard henry lee who did that. yes, ma'am. >> did have the nickname of lightfoot? >> no, no, no. that is lightfoot. harry lee was his nephew. he was a hero in the revolutionary war. he was a great commander and later became governor of virginia, and he was the father of robert e. lee. >> is there a a definitive boon the family history? the history on the family. >> yes. there are loads of books called the lees of virginia. >> which one would you recommend? >> i wouldn't. [laughing] i'd recommend my book. [laughing] yes, sir. >> you talk about how the french ships provided supplies at least one of the ships provided supplies that were used at battle of saratoga. i'm interested in what the kind of real-time communication at the time were when they were dispatching the ship. was it for the purpose of providing supplies

henry clay came to washington in 1808. and along with henry clay came barrels of kentucky straight sour mash whiskey, otherwise known as bourbon. in fact, the barrels he brought from bourbon county where stamped with bourbon county for tax reasons, that is how the name evolved for bourbon. and he discovered that those in washington, washingtonians, were drinking mint juleps with rum or brandy. he was appalled and decided to show people the proper way to make a southern style mint julep. he used to relish in showing people how to make them. southern style, with kentucky straight bourbon whiskey. and we continue to practice that legacy here, using henry clay's original recipe. in fact, henry clay traditionally, in the beginning of every new session of congress, would bring a barrel of bourbon and he would invite on a bipartisan basis members of congress from both sides of the aisle to join him in toasting the new legislative session. that tradition continues to this day. fact, just recently we had a group of distillers from

, dc after the capital moved to washington, dc. and so there was criticism that it was an expense that the government should not have gone. then also an effort to keep themake down here in mount vernon and they sprayed ddt all over the area to kill off the bugs and then there was concern that the food might not be good, but a they tasted the food and said, let's go for it. that's a from a memoir from a sect of jackie kennedy. >> how did the weather hold up. >> it was good weather and people were smoking which would not be allowed today. >> the state dinner expected tuesday next week, private dinner on monday. what do you hope the takes from the experience of being here at mount vernon. >> one is this is an answer by the first lady to the experience they had at the eiffel tower. just the four of them eating at the eiffel tower in paris and i think it's extraordinary for us that she selected mount vernon as the answer to the eiffel daughter there's an opportunity to be -- it's a very different view. obviously an urban situation but a

and over the washington, d.c., to the washington hilton to my colleague is a is vanna sellers.ith now? >> i am here with team white house, and of course, kc/dc of capitol hill. you are looking fabulous. >> you are looking great. >> and it is so nice to see our folks, and michael avenatti and kellyanne conway, and i am so happy to be talking to our capitol hill team, and celebrating the correspondents and what you do. and what is this night like for you? >> well, one of the things that we talk about is the scholar isships that come out of this white house scholarship, and kristen had a chance to meet with students. it is great, because it is the next generation who is look ain at this and saying, wow, i would love the cover politics. >> and don't do it, kids. kidding. and seriously, kristen and i have talked about it a lot. and it is -- we didn't, and we underestimated for many of us the opportunity that it would be. it is a huge challenge to cover washington in the age of trump, but it is also something that clearly matters to a lot of people in america, and it is really a lot

the failing "washington post," the fake news "washington post," the amazon "washington post." i think it's retaliation. obviously he's a counter puncher, we know that. but the value of president trump's tweets and how that impacts the markets. he wants to defend himself against what he feels is unfair news coverage. when you go after amazon it has a direct impact on the market showing president trump's tweets have no impact. howie: as the owner of the "washington post" he's able to influence editorial policy. but he says he never edited or modified an editorial. sarah: i think you can look at the neglect tef stories they are tide to in the "washington post." why are you going after amazon. amazon isn't doing anything different at the moment. howie: he believes it's hurting brick and mortar stores. he's wrong that the post office gains by shipping their packages. barack obama attacked a casino company. mollie: barack obama did attack companies, fox news and the casino company. it seems unseemly for a president to do that. amazon does a lot of business in china. the editorial pa

lillian: for the very first george washington episode i did, we have the privilege of living in washingtonc. and having so much history around us. i started the quest to learn more about the presidents by going to mount vernon, which is a short drive from a washington, d.c. along the potomac river. it was the middle of winter. i went down there, it was nighttime, they had a little event going on at mount vernon. with and the podcast actual journey. to the first presidents home, the kind of 70 up on the mission for the year ahead -- kind of set me up on the mission for the year ahead. brian: have you been there before to mount vernon? lillian: i had been there years before, and in a very different mindset good i went -- mindset. i went the way i used to go to a lot of historical sites, which is kind of follow the tour and listen to the tour guide and kind of soak it in, but frankly forget a lot of what i learned. but this time was very different. was partission, which ,f the framework of the podcast i was very genuine of the fact that i was not an expert, i was coming to this with real ques

the other washington. inside the ballroom at the washington hilton. members of the press, celebrities, journalists, partaking -- politicians, rather, partaking in dinner at this point. the meal is under way after a toast from the president of that association to the first amendment. president trump talking about taking back the house, taking back the senate, talking about keeping the house, keeping the senate, talking about electoral politics in washington township, michigan. he talked about the russia investigation moments ago. let's take a listen to what he had to say. >> i want to thank, by the way, the house intelligence committee. okay? they do it with us too. russian collusion. you know, i guarantee you, i'm tougher on russia, nobody ever thought -- in fact, have you heard about the lawyer? for a year a woman lawyer, she was like, oh, i know nothing, know nothing. now all of a sudden she supposedly is involved with government. you know why? if she did that, because putin and the group said, you know, this trump is killing us. why don't you say t

but lee is no washington.shington fought to establish. as confidence in his military abilities grows, lee risks becoming arrogant, underestimating the determination of union troops, and unaware of abraham lincoln's plan to break the back of the south with a bold new war measure. [ counter clicking ] >> you need to get this to somebody. >>> breaking tonight the trump administration is planning the next move as the world reacts in horror in the latest chemical attack. this is the home of positive populism. we'll go live to washington for more details. president trump promises there is a big price to pay to the syrian leader he. we'll alsoebate the latest on immigration with antonio sabato. you can't miss tonights swa

that was washington by day. >> this is how washington looked from the air tonight. at one point early in the evening, more than 100 fires were burning, some of them in an area just 20 blocks from the white house. as the evening wore on, officials say the incidents of fires seemed to be lessening somewhat, that assessment based on a helicopter trip over the city. three deaths have been reported in the washington rioting so far. there are no details yet on the circumstances surrounding them. more than 350 persons have been treated for injuries, among them several policemen and firemen. fire fighting was hampered if for no other reason, the sheer volume of the alarms. sent into the city from suburban areas. looting spread to the downtown shopping section of the city and as darkness fell arrests increased. to this hour, more than 700 people have been arrested. some of them picked up in spot checks by police enforcing the curfew. more than 4,000 national guard and regular army troops moved into the city to re-enforce the some 1,200 policemen on duty. they were disbursed

, and back then you could smoke in bars in washington. so they redid wit the wing backed chairs and the dark burgundy walls, and somebody had the brainstorm they wanted to do cartoons for art. the original genesis was on the walls with some artwork. we made an arrangement with the hotel to loan them a bunch of classic caricatures of the collection. since then, i got involved in 2008, thanks to my buddy richard thompson, when they wanted to update the caricatures to stuff that was more current. the collection mostly went back to the '60s, '70s, and '80s. the thing that happened in the bar, people would come in and the newer clients didn't recognize the people from the nixon and reagan administrations. so they wanted people from the clinton and obama administrations. so that's when richard thompson who unfortunately passed away a couple of years ago was brought in. and richard was just an astounding caricature. he was one of the top cake chu s -- caricaturists at the time. so e came in with some drawist and i got some of those. so i came in

ink then, you could smoke bars in washington. they redid it with the wing bench chairs and the dark burgundy walls. somebody had the brainstorm that they wanted to have the cartoons for art. the original collection was on from an artist who collected cartoons and donated his 30,000 cartoon collection to the library of congress. he made an arrangement with the hotel to loan them a bunch of classic caricatures from this collection. since then, i got involved in 2008 thanks to my buddy richard thompson, when they wanted to update the caricatures to stuff that was more current. the collection mostly went back to the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's. and then there was a big gap. people were coming to the bar and the newer clients did not recognize the people from the nixon and reagan administration. they wanted people from the clinton and obama administration. that is when richard thompson, who unfortunately passed away a couple of years ago, was brought in. richard was just an astounding caricaturist. caricaturist at the time. he did a lot

a quarter of a million people have come to washington to hear him speak. he will share his dream a dream of an america without racism. martin luther king is the undisputed leader of the civil rights movement and us fight against racial discrimination has told his followers to be unafraid to exhaust own legal means at their disposal and above all to never use violence. for african-americans in the southern states the situation is dire. in mississippi alabama and georgia white racists are terrorizing blacks. as bombing homes lynching innocent people and murdering schoolchildren all because of a leaf and as a period of the white race. on his way to the hotel came stops at the lincoln memorial where he will deliver his speech the following day. one hundred years before president abraham lincoln freed the slaves but the abolition of slavery did not bring about equal rights for african-americans. gays the exit. king will deliver his message with the majestic statue of lincoln seated behind him . lincoln wanted to light the beacon of freedom for millions but in t

some of that art has come a washington f groundbreaking exhibition at washington's renwick gallery.k a look. out of the desert dust, something strange has arrived in washington. these pieces are the tangible product of burning man, a week long gathering that prizes radical self-expression, community participation, spiritual freedom, and the shee fun of makinings. >> this is how this piece would be experienced in the desert, in group hug formation. they are part of the collective that made this. what is this? >> these are origami magic mushrooms. wrap people around them with movement and color change. jane: this is not arpurely for entertainment, the art of burning man can trace its intellectual roots to the 19th century industrial revolution when the fear of mechanization gave birth to the mar movement. >> the idea that as we became more mechanized, we might lose that part of the human spiri here we are in the digital revolution and we see this maker vement coming up again. jane: theren is an inscription here, there is an art to flying, or rather a knack. the knack lies in throwing

cbs news, washington. harry: earlier today, after last night's violence in the capital died down and before the day began, mr. johnson proclaim sunday as a national day of mourning for dr. king throughout the united states. mr. johnson also issued an order mr. johnson also issued an order the american flag is to be put at half staff on all federal government buildings around the world. the assassination of the aftermath temporarily pushed aside the president's plans to pursue his new vietnam peace pursue his new vietnam peace efforts as he put in a busy day at the white house. we got the latest on the president's plans and his move from cbs news correspondent dan rather. dan: a violent afternoon faded into a red sunset mixing with black smoke blowing from burning downtown buildings just behind the half-staff flag over the white house. there is a sad president in there tonight. he is walking around with short sleeves and his collar undone disappointed what has happened to washington. he had seven hours of c

her last visit here to washington. was was terrible presidential trump would not even shake her hand and i think she went back to the european union and tried to make the case how the european union could go it alone if they could be a single power on the world stage to compete with the united states they didn't have to go along with the united states but i think her dismay in some ways her colleagues in europe especially in france with the election of president mccrone he said well you know i'm not so interested for france to go along with the european union france may get a better job going it alone with the united states and so we've seen the french really out in front working hand in hand with the united states they were the first to come to the president from side to retaliate in syria after the chemical weapons attack there a couple of weeks ago president mccrone has had weekly conversations with trump not just these these visits for all their pomp and circumstance but weekly conversations with president trump so

but as washington as a great man. we know this because lincoln himself said so in february 18, '61 on his way to his first inauguration. he left springfield, illinois early in the month and took a train through northeast to get to washington, d.c. he was showing the flag as the company was falling apart. six states already left the union and texas, the seventh would leave the day he arrived in washington. so he's going through loyal states, making brief appearances simply to show people that the country was going on and the government was going on. and in february, he passes through trenton, new jersey. and he gives a speech to the state legislature. and there he says that when he was a boy, he read "life of washington" and of all of the battles he recounts, the one that made the biggest impression was the battle of trenton. the end of 1776 after a disastrous half year for the united states. washington had been beaten out of new york city. he lost the battle in white plains in upstate new york. retreated across the st

george washington.nd every week i picked up president by president, and the math works out perfectly so that by the time i got to president obama, we were a week before the 2016 election. the very final episode went out the day after the election in 2016. over the course of almost a year, i learned more about presidential history than i can honestly say i ever thought i could have learned in 44 weeks. brian: i know, because i have done it myself, you can get on the "post" and is into the podcasts. what is the best and easiest way for somebody who has never done this before to get to your podcasts? lillian: the easiest way is to go to washingtonpost.com/presidential, and that will take anyone directly to a page where all of the episodes live, and all you have to do is click play. you can start with george washington or skip ahead to whichever president is most interesting to you. brian: you did something special with george washington and with donald trump. you say, especially in the donald trump one, i

but he met george washington once. he paid one visit to mount vernon, he had one exchange of letters with him, and this was the basis of his connection on which he claimed authority to write. he also did a lot of interviewing. he did look up people who had known washington as a boy, and some of the stories he tells about washington may even have been true. weems is one of those writers like james fenemore cooper or h.b. lovecraft. their sentences are terrible by their stories are terrific. the proof of that is that we all know one of weems' story. this is the story of the cherry tree. of course you know it. washington's father imports a special cherry tree. he also gives his young son a hatchet, and then shortly thereafter he notices that the bark of the cherry tree has been cut and he suspects what has happened but he asks his son anyway, george, do you know who damaged my cherry tree. and young george says, i cannot tell a lie, pa, i cannot tell a lie, i did it with my hatchet. weems goes on to say that washington's

washington wanted nominating for the supreme court.he refused to go to the supreme court at the time, so they had a close relationship and it was really washington who probably persuaded john adams that marshall was the guy that patients into france ensured a point to higher office. yes, gail. >> wonderful presentation. >> thank you. >> what was your inspiration to write the book on marshall, and how long did it take you to do the due diligence and to pull the whole thing together? >> right, good question. i worked on this book for seven years. fortunately i have a day job, and as was mentioned i teach constitutional law and international law. it's impossible to teach constitutional and international law in the u.s. without running across john marshall made all over. he just dominates the field so much, and i was really interested in finding out how the sort of plot these principles out of the air, which were significant in shaping our national character and the character of our government. many of the cases that marshall faced, cases,

he sends it to george washington. and that key, the george washington displayed in philadelphia, he brought it back here to mount vernon. that's an important connection between our friendship. visit why the first state and the president is so crucial to come to a place like this. the stories about our long connection and relationships are important to think about when thinking about the future. aunt vernon has always been place that spoke about the past, the present, and the future. that's why it's relevant for the million visitors we get per year. >> thank you for your time. >> thank you very much. >> tuesday, president donald trump welcomes french president emmanuel macron to the white house for an official state visit. live coverage begins tuesday with the arrival of the french president at the white house. and welcoming remarks by the two heads of state. then live coverage of president trump's first state dinner with guest arrivals and dinner toasts. the official state visit of french president emmanuel macron liv
