of george washington alexander is washington's adopted hometown washington also surveyed the as a teenager this is washington a teenage washington survey of the city of alexandria and mount vernon was only ten miles away just just south. so this was his city that he was heading into when came back to america in 1784. i mentioned before the majority of that trip was to spend time with george washington in of 1784 lafayette and washington come to alexandria and they have a at lomax's tavern was a tavern on princess street that unfortunately no longer exists. but there was a public perception out there, a lot of his reasons for wanting to come back had a lot to do with george washington. george washington dies on december 14, 1799 of a very sudden and unexpected illness. it was so sudden and unexpected that washington had already been buried before. the majority of americans even knew that he had died. there was a private funeral, family funeral held, held, held. mount vernon on, december 18th. but first city to know about the death of washington was here in alexandria alexandria post the ver

, lafayette, to live with the washingtons. so that was they were he was nervous about accepting it because he thought it would be seen as like a statement against france. and and so that was his way of kind of protecting a part of lafayette. but there's no grand sweeping kind of statement from the american government. i think i think hamilton's letter is kind of like at least the federalist point. that's where they were standing. jefferson very much disagreed with this and he thought we should do something. and when when he was at liberty in 1797, we were just on the brink of that unfortunate a conflict during john adams administrate should be two united states and france that quasi war on the high seas from 1797 to 18. i wondered, is there any evidence of lafayette's, you know, reaction to that or wistfulness or anything like that? i'm not sure off the top of my head, but now i will go home and look it up immediately. thank you. yes i'm i'm pascale. i am a french citizen coming here on my own to celebrate with you the the far

i can assure you would not be seen in what washington, d.c. who doesn't believe the same things we stood up and believed for, not only life at conception and slasher but also all through life. r-value of life when it comes to adoption reform, foster care reform in protecting the elderly. that's what this fight is about. it is about our values that we believe here in georgia that make us the greatest date in the country to live, work and raise her founders and that is exactly what kelly will be fighting for in washington, d.c.

it takes place at the national if here in washington. from there, jimmy carter's washington.rter�*s casket washington. from there, jimmy carter's casket will travel back to plains, georgia, where he grew up. she will be laid to rest alongside his wife, who died at the age of 96. they work the longest presidential couple ever, they were married for 77 years. he was 100 when he died, an extraordinary life. more than 44 years of a life after being president of the united states, in which he accomplished so much in terms of his charitable work, his work with democracy around the world, his world with supporting elections and human rights around the world. i think that's one of the parts of his legacy people will focus on quite a lot. back in the 70s when he was president, the whole movement around human rights and normative values was very new, and love something he introduced into the world dialogue. mil introduced into the world dialogue-— dialogue. all of that lies ahead. but _ dialogue. all of that lies ahead. but you - dialogue. all of that lies ahead. but you can - dialogue

i doubt he ever thought of himself as being of washington.t an outsider. he was an outsider who disdained politics. he didn't think of himself as a politician and while he was a superb retail politician, that is what got him elected, great and small groups so savvy about how to get elected president. he thought once you got there you should stop looking at everything through a political lens and try to do the right thing as you saw. that cost him dearly because as we know a lot of times, you know, the right thing is not politically popular, so people told him, you know, if you bomb iran, you will win the election. but he said it'll kill the hostages. i will not do it. or the panama canal treaties. he said we have to do this now or we will have a war. we have to do it. not all the time. i mean, sometimes he played the angles to try to get reelected but most of the time he was trying to look to history and to be a visionary leader rather than a successful one. >> joining us now is the ceo of the carter center. while you were in this beautiful s

washington insiders. governors from around the country, a bipartisan group of people waiting gathered, as well as american citizens to pay tribute to the late president, who prided himself as an outsider. we are watching this procession on an absolutely just the light of this at this time of day and the winter. a beautiful light to watch this casket on that caisson, horse drawn carriage approached the capitol kyberd in your years, as a biographer of carter, approaching this capitol, not a place that he loved in terms of his dealings with capitol hill. i was reading peter, peter baker's great piece in the new york times today. he had spoken to you and you were saying, you know, he was an outsider. jimmy carter ran against the establishment. when he gets into the oval office. you note he declined more than one dinner invitation from the georgetown set. peter talks about how he didn't want to have dinner in the home of the publisher of the washington post, katharine graham. who knows what he'd think about th

and we did a scene washington's favorite play cato and. we use this to illustrate the moment at newburgh. when he talks his officers from a mutiny on. the scene in the play shows cato similarly ending a mutiny and his own roman troops. and we wanted to do this in front of an audience of descendants of revolution officers. so this was the place. it's also the perfect place tonight. john trumbull was a member of the society from the connecticut chapter. he wanted to be a painter since he was a child. he grew up in lebanon, connecticut, north connecticut. he was the of six children, four boys, two girls. his sisters were sent to an instructor of young ladies in boston and. there they were taught to paint and embroider. and if you read jane austen, you know that emma woodhouse paints and lady de timberg is scandalized. elizabeth bennet does not paint, but the trumbull sisters learned to paint and embroider and. their works were hung over the mantel in the parlor of the family house. and john remembered as a boy lying on the floor and drawing,

washington post "for jimmy carter, faith was inseparable from politics and life.s inaugural address january 1977, president jimmy carter spoke just for sentences before quoting from scripture." guest: i will go out on a limb and say i don't think we will see that in a week and a half. carter is probably the most religious former president we have had. it was central to his presidency. not to say all presidents have to be that way. he didn't always like politics. he saw it as a means to an end. he was driven by his faith to make the world a better place. politics was a useful way to do that. sometimes his frustration with politicians, his unwillingness to participate in the d.c. culture reflected that distaste while ultimately still wanting the power to try and actually do something with it. host: one lighthearted moment from today's eulogies was when one of those speakers said "god should be ready for jimmy carter's letting him know how heaven could be a more harmonious place." guest: there were some funny moments today. i'm glad people brought that humor. these a

guest: he came to washington as an outsider. he had never served in washington. he had not been in congress. he had not been in any presidential administration. that was part of his appeal in 1976. that he was an outsider. he didn't enjoy associating with politicians. he didn't enjoy associating with the washington in-crowned. unlike ronald reagan when he and nancy got to washington they figured out who the players were on the social scene, political scene, and immediately building relationships all over the place, which were one of the many reasons he was a successful president. carter never did that. he was not proactive about building relationships at any point throughout his life. because he was -- i think he viewed himself as being the smartest guy in the room. in all situations. and therefore he expected people to view him as such. obviously there is a lot of smart people in washington who are not ready to concede that outside from georgia is the smartest guy in the room. he never built up that level of support not only among american people as evidenced by

he really was the outsider, did not always warm to washington and the rituals of washington.n some respects, what we are seeing unfold on pennsylvania avenue is more of a testament to the rituals of the office than how he perhaps felt about the capital. >> that is certainly true. if you have o -- if you ever have an opportunity to visit the library, before the obamas open, of course, and his body was there recently. there is a section dedicated to how he chose people who like him he trusted but they did not have a lot of washington insider experience. it hampered his ability to get legislation down, to warm to people. it was hard to break into that georgia group. >> you can see things are about to develop. the case the ambassador referred to is there. the horses in front will pull down the casket towards the rotunda. there will be a service this evening in the rotunda below the imposing capital dome, all of the senior members of congress will be there. the flag, although donald trump does not like this at the moment, they are at half-mast and will remain at half-mast probably

that is kind of what the backyard of it being in washington, d.c. could really draw the contrast. >> yeah. i also disagree that because they voted for trump they bought into his whole agenda. i mean, really abortion was the key issue that bishops in this country pushed their parishioners on. and trump supposedly is pro life and they seem to lean toward him based on that issue. i wouldn't say to say they bought his whole agenda is accurate. >> i don't think they're one issue voters. and i think you all seem to be keying in on immigration as a key issue. >> i think environment is another issue i said. >> yeah. >> but pope francis. >> certainly these catholics know the difference between trump and harris on climate change and extreme solutions. >> pope francis explicitly told parishioners not to put all of their weight on abortion. at the expense of all the other issues like immigration and climate. in fact, he's been a very political pope. and that cuts both ways. during the election, he told parishioners you must make the choice between a lesser of t

star to "the washington post." the first column reported a rumor that the partners had bugged blair house while ronald reagan was there to prepr his transition to president. and an overheard between nancy reagan and ted graebner, the decorator. when he heard this, it was published october 5, 1981, which is significant because that was the day sadat was killed and i was on the telephone with president carter being hired as a lawyer when he got the message that sadat were shot. they didn't know he was dead yet. he went to attend to that and called me back later. he wanted me to bring a libel suit against "the washington post" and a retraction and apology for this insult to him that he had done something so egregious against the personal privacy as wiretapping blair house. he was mainly concerned because he had returned to georgia. he was broke and the only thing he had was his reputation and his friends that he had made as president around the world. he did not want people who were leaders of other countries to think

he said, no, you have to give this to washington. washington refused it. he wasn't going to take that sort of number two. he said, you have to give it to general lincoln, who is on the white horse. his back story is that he surrendered to the british one year before when they took the charleston in a siege. he had been denied the honors of war, which is when the defeated armies get to march out with their arms still flying. now, the british are not allowed to do that here. and also, lincoln gets the sword. and this painting, i feel it is lighthearted. the flags are snapping. there is light in the sky. if you look closely at washington's face, he is almost smiling. as well he might. and if trumbull's series were all military, this would be the end. but it doesn't. there's one more painting which he does many years -- it vanished. there we go. he does this painting in the late 1820s. there is gap of many years between when hestarted this project and when he finished. and this, as you heard, is the resignation of general washington, handing his commission con

"washington post" for jimmy carter faith was inseparable from politics and life. i will go out on a limb and say i don't think we'll see that in a week and a half. carter is probably the most religious ormer president we have had. it was central to his presidency. it's not is that all presidents have to be that way but he didn't always like politics. he sought as a means to an in and he was deeply driven by his faith to try to make the world a better place and politics was a very useful way to do that. sometimes his frustration with other politicians, his unwillingness to participate for the d.c. culture reflected that this date while ultimately still wanting the power to try and do something with it. >> host: one lighthearted moment from today's eulogies was when one of those speakers said that god should be ready for jimmy carter come to let them know -- [laughing] >> guest: there was a really good, some really funny moments today. and the glad people brought that human because i do think these are of course some events but they should be human if it is a really
