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

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.

washington was a liminal space. 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, allowed it to be more risquÉ. 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. or isn you're working 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 aspect as well. part of the project is about a movement of people. in addition to a standard monograph, which will focus on washington dc and not only will the native people in the historical record be the main characters, the city itself will be a main character. it is a place of study. it is a

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

that's the washington post's case. every man, 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 s

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

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.

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 so,as my personal financial psychic, i'm sure you know what this meeting is about. yes, a raise. i'm letting you go. i knew that. you see, this is my amerivest managed... balances. no. portfolio. and if doesn't perform well for two consecutive gold. quarters. quarters...yup. then amerivest gives me back their advisory... stocks. fees. fees. fees for those quarters. yeah. so, i'm confident i'm in good hands. for all the confidence you need. td ameritrade. you got this. >> 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 hav

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

and welcome to "washington week." >> thanks. gwen: this week's "time" magazine cover sums up the nation's and the world's latest health scare with one line. chasing ebola in america and in west africa. more than 3,000 people in west africa have died. more than 7,000 are infected. and the numbers keep rising. amidst concerns that the con tage onor the fear of con tage oncould fatch fire, senior officials weighed in today. >> we cannot overcommunicate about this issue. the steps that we have to take are about making sure execution, execution, execution, and that gets to your question which is, that is why we need to communicate and communicate again and communicate with clarity. gwen: they didn't mind talking this to death today for just that reason. but one of the things they were attempting to do is make a distinction between what we've seen unfolding in west africa in sierra leone and guinea and liberia and what we're seeing begin to unfold here. >> yeah. it's a world of difference. west africa has an epidemic. what we may have

his praise and criticism has caused quite a stir here in washington. we talked to him about his new book "worthy fights." part of his tra teak is the president's handling of the new war against isis. >> i think the position is that when you're commander in chief you really ought to keep all options on the table to be able to have the flexibility to do what is necessary in order to defeat this enemy. to make those air strikes work, you don't just send planes in this drop bombs. gwen: gloria, after having read the book and interviewed him, why is he saying all this now? >> he's trying to sell books, number one and i think in talking to him that he wants to give leadership advice to the presidents, to the country, to the world. this is a man who's been in public service for 40 years and he has a lot to say that's positive about president obama, the man who made the decision to go after osama bin laden, which he called a gutsy decision. there are a lot of people around the table who disagree with him on that go order but he did it. with the president who h

and so is washington d.c. and every city is, ultimately, very philanthropic to the degree that they can give. in the case of the kennedy center, we actually reach across the country and around the world which gives us a really great opportunity. because of our international programming and the reach of our performances. the most important pitch is the one i just gave you, i believe, which is that art is for life's sake, and without it our lives are nothing. they're nowhere near as interesting, it isn't a way in which we can communicate and share and come together. so in the end, it's about finding people who love the arts, who give back, who believe in sharing and who want to share their passion just as much as we who are administrators love to share the passion. and there's nothing so rewarding as seeing young people participating in the arts or seeing something that you didn't know could happen happen whether it's on a dance stage or in the opera or with an orchestra. it's an incredibly rewarding act to give

washington is selling policy. and it's very clear when you visit washington the business that's going on if you listen to conversation over lunch is involved in the sale of policy. ultimately the sale of policy can evolve into crony capitalism. >> the thing is, washington is supposed to make rules, and different groups should be allowed to make their case. so the question becomes, how do you know when things have gone too far? when have we moved from sensible legislation to raw favoritism? from rational supervision to smothering regulation? >> don't take our jobs away! >> there are plenty of people who think we've already gone too far. >> the boom in regulation, the regulatory industry is a drag on economic growth. it's a drag on u.s. jobs and productivity. we can continue to expand this, but it's not going to do anything good for our economy or our country. >> professor mason isn't alone in believing the present administration has stifled free enterprise with burdensome regulation. of course, there are powerful p

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

it's a pathetic excuse by "the washington post" on a piece of reporting by "the washington post." they do not have the 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" appro

we need to do the same thing in washington. senator hagan went to washington. she promised she would be different, and she broke the promise. if you want the same policies of president obama, vote for kay hagan. if you want to make this country great again i hope you will vote for thom tillis. >> speaker tillis has made the fight against isis take center stage. i know you have some difficulties with help president obama has dealt with this in the past, but do you support his mission right now, and are you confident he will succeed? but these individuals are terrorist. they have attacked americans. our mission should be to eradicate these terrorists. i have been decisive. it is part of a two-part strategy. the first our airstrikes. we need to take out command and control. the second is arming and training moderate. rebels. all of this has to be done with se a broad coalition of partners. we have to have a unified front. what i have seen speaker tillis has done is he is waffling on these issues. i have been clear. i have been decisive. i think we need to hear fro

so he appointed walter washington as the first mayor. then he gets elected as the first elected mayor in '74. that was important because it came as a result of great pressure by people in urban centers around the country. dr. king gets killed in '68, urban centers are burning up. they had to do something. it was that pressure from the people who said it's about time to let local people run their local affairs. that happens in '73. >> reverend tucker, you were here. you've run a church in the city for many, many years. talk about what it meant for the citizens of the district of columbia. >> it meant participation. it meant representation. it meant involvement. it meant fresh opportunity. to gaengage in government. it meant job improvement. it meant upward mobility. it was a positive move on the part of the citizens and the interest of the citizens when home rule came into being. >> what is the home rule act, 40th anniversary commemoration and celebration commission all about, chairman tucker? >> well, two things. one in the celebration,

at the age of 93 at his home in washington. he's 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,

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
