of washington. ron is on target when he says hamilton gained in comparable power under washington because the president approved of the agenda he promoted with such tireless brilliance. jefferson was wrong when he charged that hamilton manipulated the president. washington is nobody's puppet. he can be soft-spoken, gentle and kind, and if it is his province, he will not let anyone do it. is he influenced by hamilton? unbelievably so. why? because hamilton and he basically see things the same way. whether you like it or not, and some of you would like it and some of you would not, washington is more of a hamiltonion than he is of a jeffersonian. in his view of the world, he sees it more that way. it is something jefferson could never accept. it is an absolutely crucial factor. there is no doubt that men grow closer together doing the term as president. hamilton would resign in 1794, washington remains president until 1797. dealing with crises is like the national debt, whiskey rebellion, all of the r

so washington saw the story and there was a general outcry among african americans in washington, d.c., that said that's crazy. we knew her. we knew elizabeth kechley. it wasn't that long she had been alive and how could this person come out and say it. washington went right out and wrote a letter to the editor. so apparently people were calling up him on the phone and there was this outpouring, but washington was the one that got the letter to the editor published. all you have to do is go talk to black people in washington and you will kind out she did exist. and beth's papers, go ahead and find out her side of the story. she found this out and she was a bit abashed about this. and she wept to talk to washington and he sent her to other people. and she published a follow-up story and that is quite good. it says, you know, turns out a lot of people knew elizabeth elizabeth kechley was true after all. there were so many stories, photos, and she was taken with that. and then i was interested in the fact that in her little journal, a daily diary, saying what she did that day, she said "

washington was passionate here. and i quote, against this insidious wilds of foreign influence i conjure you to believe me, the jealousy of a fee people ought to be constantly awake. since history and experience proved that foreign influence is one of the most bainful foes of republican government but that jealousy to be useful must be impartial, end quote. his final warning, partial atlanta and commerce, warning number seven. washington instructed and i quote, the great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations to have with them to have as little political connection as possible. washington believed strong relations could be built on commerce keeping us in a fair and neutral and preventing dispute with other nations. he urged to steer clear of other alliances and that we should quote, safely trust a temporary alliances for extraordinary emergencies, end quote. washington argued, commerce should be equal and impartial, neither seeking nor granting exclusive favors,

david: you live in washington state, outside of seattle. the man who was the richest man for about 20 years is named bill gates. what is the likelihood that the two richest men in the world live not only in the same country state, city, but same neighborhood? is there something about that neighborhood we should know about? are there any more houses there for sale? [laughter] jeff: after i saw bill not too long ago, we were joking about the world richest man thing. i basically said, you are welcome. he immediately turned to me and said, thank you. medina is a suburb of seattle. i don't think there is anything special in the water there. i did locate amazon in seattle because of microsoft. i thought that pool of technical talent would be a good place to recruit people from. that did turn out to be true, so it is not a complete coincidence. there is some correlation there. david: when you go into the store and want to buy something, do you have put a credit card down? you just say you are jeff bezos? you carry cash around?

ford, how did you get to washington? >> in an airplane. >> okay. >> i ask that because it's been reported by the press that you would not submit to an interview with the committee because of your fear of flying. is that true? >> well, i was willing -- i was hoping they would come to me but then i realized that was an unrealistic request. >> it would have been a quicker trip for me. >> yes. >> so that was certainly what i was hoping was to avoid having to get on an airplane, but i eventually was able to get up the gumption with the help of some friends and get on the plane. >> when you were here in the mid atlantic area back in august, the end of july/august, how did you get here? >> also by airplane. i come here once a year during the summer to visit my family. >> okay. >> i'm sorry not here. go to delaware. >> okay. >> in fact, you fly fairly frequently for your hobbies and you've had to fly for your work, is that true? >> correct. unfortunately. >> you were consulting bias statistician in sydney, australia, right? >> i

the history of the denial in washington tells us that washington denials have no meaning. at the top of the mountain of meaningless denials in washington, is the multidecade denial by mark felt that he was deep throat, the source of the extraordinary reporting on the watergate scandal in the nixon administration. mark felt finally publically admitted he was deep throat because nothing is distrusted in washington more than the denial washington reporters actually invented a description for the kind of denial that they must transcribe and report in their newspapers, but they do not believe. they call it the nondenial denial. now that term could only be invented in a town where denials mean absolutely nothing. think of all of the washington players who had repeatedly denied that they were planning to run for president while they were planning to run for president. and there is a constant stream of policy denials that everyone quickly forgets, like democrats denying they were going to drop the public option from the affordable care act right up until the day before they droppe

the president is back in washington. on capitol hill democrats are still calling for a fbi investigation and the vote is still scheduled at the committee vote tomorrow morning. of the rodtponement rosenstein meeting have been telegraphed by the president yesterday. let's go back to the question about the absence of an fbi investigation. the democrats keep coming back. one of the thing senator blumenthal spoke on. the witness has said if they check the employment records of that safeway, we know the day boyn into mr. judge, the she said was the other person in that room. >> she has set her preference would be for the committee to subpoena mark judge to get his from the other witness who was there. this has been a crucial sticking point between republicans and democrats. many of ther, republicans this will come down to. to some extent, bob corker. senator flake, a retiring senator from arizona. all of this really so much focus being telegraphed through the senate judiciary committee. brett kavanaugh, judge kavanaugh, after

josh an executive director of the arab institut washington d.c. a warm welcome to you all must suffer let me start with you are now we've students have also lost their voice in washington it's keeps on getting from bad to worse. we didn't lose anything i think the united states has lost its ability to be a mediator of it and the peace process has lost any ability to be. impartial and has shown the decisions of mr trump and this administration has shown that there is no difference whatsoever between israeli policy and this administration's policy on the contrary i think his action against the p.l.o. office looks like they are receiving instructions from mr netanyahu the prime minister of israel and his own side of flexion of this alliance between the most extreme most reactionary neo conservatives in the united states and israel is honest movement which is of course going to reflect in a very dangerous manna considering these actions what the united states administration did an effort to exercise pressure on us as palestinians to give up our rights

she's a reporter for "the washington post." "the washington post" has just published a piece naming christine blasey ford as the one who filed the allegation against brett kavanaugh to be the next supreme court justice. you spoke to her husband as well. what did he have to say about this incident and about her coming out with this as well? >> i mean, i think this is an incredibly painful and private thing to be now dealing with in public for both of them. he said that in 2012 he recalls that therapist session very clearly and recalls not only that she described the event but that she used kavanaugh's last name and even expressed some concern. the at time kavanaugh of course was on the d.c. circuit court of appeals. she said what if he some day goes on the supreme court. he recalled that. and he also said he was thinking some people may hear about this and think it doesn't really matter, it was back in high school, but from his perspective, it says something. his wife's story says something important he thinks about the nominee

i look forward to going to washington getting to work. thank you, governor thank you. >> a few questions? >> no offense but i know the good senator since he was working -- there was a comment the mccain was -- [inaudible] >> i wanted to pick the best possible person regardless of politics. there is big work to be done in the united states senate and no one in the state of arizona has a statue of john kyle and i asked and i'm grateful that he accepted. >> [inaudible] >> the answer to the second question is no. the reason i did not want to commit to be on this congressional session is because when i left the senate almost six years ago i had no intention of returning and i needed to be with my family to come back to arizona more and be at their side so in that spirit i am willing to serve certainly through the end of the session, at least, in order to make sure the business that is currently ongoing is taken care of. i don't want to make a commitment beyond that. >> governor doozy, should senator kyle step down before 2020 because who do yo

general assembly and how donald trump brought up north korea hailing progress between washington and pyongyang but when north korea's foreign minister took to the stage that wasn't exactly the same case now let's go live to brian back and get his thoughts on this he's the coordinator of the antiwar answer coalition either pyongyang state when we had a few minutes ago contradicting how the u.s. president sees relations between the two countries right now what do you think north korea up to to make this public confront to the u.n. general assembly. well it really does not have a lot of options here the united states is playing a double game at one time donald trump says and just a few days ago over there is our press conference no rush we'll get it we're going to get it done and we don't want to put too much pressure on the os the next day my company or the secretary of state says in a very insulting way look north koreans are starving they have no running water they have no roads and they have to make a decision do they want to come to like a certain sort of you know doing security yo

is closing the washington office of the palestine liberation organization. effort to put pressure on palestinians to return to the negotiating table amid stalled peace talks with israel the trumpet ministration will not keep the office open when the palestinians refused to take steps to start direct and meaningful negotiations with israel the threat of the mission's closure seen by many as retaliation for actions by the palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas last year at the united nations calling for the investigation and prosecution of israeli officials through the international criminal court he actions in raged many in the united states who see the i.c.c. as a body rife with abuses and an infringement on u.s. sovereignty on monday bolton called for criminal sanctions against the i.c.c. if it moves ahead with investigating allegations of us were crimes in afghanistan those sanctions could even include blocking i.c.c. judges from entering the united states the united states will use any means necessary to protect our citizens and those of our allies

one of the promises he made to washington -- to voters is that he would go into washington and implement new ethics. we have not seen any of that. we have seen lobbying and conflicts of interest. say,: some folks would take a look at other administrations. there are always conflicts of interest. what is different this time? tim: we start with mark twain from the gilded age in our peace. not a new problem. . threat the 19th century were riddled with corruption and conflicts of interest. you had scandals and the warren harding administration. -- in the warren harding administration. were problematic, such as roger and billy clinton. other era since world war ii has had as many conflicts of interest and indictments attached to it as this one. this is in a class by itself. ross: you point out wilbur has been caught up as much as any cabinet official in a liack of disclosure and effort to deally unwind what he owne through his work as an investor before he became the commerce secretary. tim: wilbur ross is a great example. we shouldn't say people with deep as miss experience shouldn't go to w

china has issued a stern warning to the united states after washington slapped sanctions on the chinese military over its purchase of russian weaponry you could out of has the story to analyze what beijing has said we have to see we have to look at what washington's doing and essentially it's playing a double game targeting russia mostly with its new round of sanctions but also launching a blow that is wild which intention is to damage beijing everything revolves around the russia's weapons russia's heavy weapons like the su thirty five fighter jet and the s four hundred surface to air missile defense system and so china bought some of those units and now it is also coming under fire for that and while beijing let me tell you was not impressed when it found out that it is being dictated some new rules on this arena of arms trade other than fair competition we strongly call on the u.s. to remedy the mystique and cancel the sanctions otherwise the u.s. has to bear the consequences russia has also reacted to this new round of sanctions russia still diplomat sergei lavrov has said that what

in washington they looked at their nation as. their own even though though it had been a former colony of the united kingdom so that the doctrine the monroe doctrine. was invoked. and these was pursued by the united states and the tone of that doctrine was rendered throughout the entire speech by the president yesterday but our people are familiar with this it was an imperial interventionists neocolonialist doctrine. and our people rose up against it because we wanted friedan we wanted equality and our leaders seem on believe our fault for that. it's an imperialist doctrine that wants to take over our whole region. not just stop rodent reach and. in the twentieth century it sought to dominate the entire world in the twenty first century it wants to continue with this it wants to continue just giving orders to the were owed it so the world for its own property. there are conflicts and disputes which have existed for a long time between different countries. but we had does for a world of dignity and respect. and simone below that b

>> we are seeing reports from the washington post that this has been a blue collar recovery. we are seeing the biggest job gains in blue collar sectors, manufacturing, construction and seeing these in rural areas and smaller metro areas. nobody predicted that. that we would see these gains in blue collar in rural areas in the trump administration and seeing that and that is the evidence that has voters excited, finally getting money back in their pockets, feeling confident again and that is driving high poll numbers on the economy. shannon: i recall as you did too the days around the election the stock market was going to crash, we were warned has never skipped coming in to show donald trump was going to win, international markets weren't going to like it, never get past 4% again on gdp and a lot of manufacturing jobs were gone for good. that does not align with what we are seeing. >> the critics couldn't have gotten it more wrong. we have unemployment below 4%, gdp above 4%. that was not supposed to happen. people were not supposed to feel confident about donald trump in the

they know what official washington and others sort of think of them. but i was just struck by the fact that not only the words were said. meghan mccain has actually been sparring with the trumps for quite some time. but in the venue at this moment with them listening was certainly striking. i think overall, we should not -- this was a very serious service but i think it did john mccain very right by those moments of humor and levity. he, you know, would be, you know, certainly have a joke to tell or something at this moment because that is what he was known for and what he did and what we've heard all week long as well. >> let's listen to these two former presidents of the united states also referencing in a more subtle way but clear in their intent the current politics of washington. >> he respected the dignity inherent in every life, a dignity that does not stop at borders and can't be erased by dictators. perhaps above all, john detested the abuse of power. could not abide bigots and swaggering despots. there was something inside him that made him s

happy with everything republicans are doing in washington? are you having to work so hard to hold on to the majority. >> america has gotten more partisan. i cannot even look back as far as 1982. america was not this partisan. if you look beyond 2006, it's almost -- much beyond 2006. how partisan america has gotten. the rise in partisanship is driven by social media, driven by cable news. where people get to pick the news based on what they already believe. there is a whole bunch of factors. to make it hard for us to grow much beyond your base in the you fight for the unaffiliated, unaligned voters at the end. and you see who does a better job of turning out the base and who does a better job on unaligned voters. that is what campaigns have become. that is kind of what is going on. obviously, things are economically good. but there are people that feel very upset and most of them are democrats. there are some independence but there are people that feel excited. it is our job to sell our story. the thing that will make this election cycle work

i grew up in the suburbs of washington, d.c. school from 1978 to 1984. it is an all-girls school that opened in 1901. school,y time at the the girls at my school figure in late met and became friendly with toys -- boys from all schools in the area, georgetown prep, as all of our country clubs and other places were kids and families socialized. this is how i met brett kavanaugh, the boy who sexually assaulted me. during my freshman and sophomore school years, when i was 14 and 15 years old, my group of friends intersected with brett and his friends for a short. of time -- a short period of time. it was through that connection that i attended a number of parties that brett also attended. we did not know each other well, i knew him and he knew me. of 1982, like most summers, i spent most everyday at the columbia country club in maryland, swimming and practicing diving. one evening that summer, after a day of diving at the club, i attended a small gathering at a househouse. there were four boys i remember specifically being at the house, brett kavanaugh, mar

brian: you were at the "washington times" at the time. mr. garrett: yes. brian: in the history of journalism, were there many of you who made it out of the "washington times" and into big media? mr. garrett: others did. laura gelman worked at the washington -- she worked for the associated press. lorraine waller is a reporter in town washington. she was on the business desk. others did. peter baker and i are probably the two best known. peter baker was on the metro desk at the time. a sensational reporter. but there are others, and what did we share, we were very young, very aggressive, we were looking for a place to work in washington that would give us a place to do that work and move on if we could, and we all have. brian: nobody cares about this much today, but back in those days, as you know, everybody called it the "moonie paper." mr. garrett: yes, they did. brian: were you ever labeled that and did you -- when you were inside that paper, did the reverend sun yung moon have an impact on the content? mr. garrett: not at all. other than to finance it w

states jordan egypt you had secretary of defense mattis here in washington in fact . calling for or in fact putting him in process. to withdraw or to draw down the patriot anti-missile patriot batteries in bahrain and kuwait so there's a real question about whether the u.s. military is involved i think it's much more of a political dynamic and one that president trump is pushing both to show that he is in control in the middle east before the november midterm elections here and as he goes into his two thousand and twenty reelection campaign that he has a firm anti iran pro israel strategy with these arab countries generically defying because he doesn't really care about any of them individually to give him a political a political push here in the united states and his domestic politics mustapha is there a risk as far as the leadership where you are is concerned and could it possibly be this if you try to codify the relationship between disparate countries diff disparate religions where they are with those countries led by reckless leaders quotes i'm using the word adv

lou: do you think it was "the washington post" he was thinking of? the great divider demonizing as he con dements the demonization of american politics. president obama went a long way towards advancing demonization. he said this last night. >> the biggest threat to our democracy is indifference. the biggest threat to our democracy is where you turn away from politics and stay home on election day. lou: web that. that's the biggest enemy. there are only 53 days remaining until the most of important mid-term elections in history. ones that will insure president trump's agenda is allowed to continue. before president trump left office he said he would consider it a personal insult to him and his legacy. his legacy if people didn't vote for hillary clinton. and we know they didn't vote for hillary clinton not in the numbers that he wanted. so we might make it a point again perhaps to insult the president's legacy and vote to continue to make america great again. joining me now, ed rollins, chairman of the great america pac, ed rollins served as white ho
