washington. up to this the state lines had point, used slightly different thrill -- drill manuals. it wasn't so much they were loading and firing in different waysba if you can imagine, you are trying to get a brigade or hundreds of thousands of men to go from a column into a line facing an enemy and they all do it a different way, absolutely disastrous. von steuben created a uniform set to get those men to move. and this is a plate from the 1779 so-called the blue book because of the blue paste board covers, just about every nco and officer would have owned a copy of this. and here with the arrows you can see where he's depicted two of what they called grand division flags. so unlike the british system of having a national flag and a regimental flag and those were the only flag, these with the smaller maneuvering flags and they were for a company or two companies working together in concert during an action. and that is a good setup for the first flag you'll see today known as the muhlenberg fla

that i will bring to washington dc. [applause] anyone who wants to see the federal government even bigger and even further removed from those that it is supposed to serve, the other party will be offering that option. as for me, i am offering a different agenda altogether. it will be my intention not to preside over the establishment but in every way i know to disrupt that establishment and make it more accountable for the people. [applause] the ultimate disruption is to reject as i do the whole idea that governments are forever growing more, borrowing more, and spending more beyond anyone's ability to comprehend. i have no illusions about what reform really takes. the next president has to confront the spending culture in washington and i promise you, i will do it. [applause] i think we have learned by now that you can have a fast-growing economy or you can have a fast expanding government. you can't have both. you have to choose as i did when we worked together when i was governor of the now third-largest eight. in my

washington. >> mt. washington. perry, how crucial is this to jeb bush that he takes on the role of being a successful governor, the only one to have two administrations there, and be so be loved by reporters there. how is it that he keeps beating that drum? >> i think it's important. two top contenders, i would say ohio governor john casey who gets in tomorrow. the republican party is pushing the idea of a governor will a better governor be more effective. bush has to show that walker knows republicans that was a bold leader. bush was last governor in 2007. he'll remind you of his record and what he did. a lot don't know what bush did where they know scott walker blew the numbers. >> he got some to come along with him. none of the other candidates took the bait here. who gets the voters so excited, at least in the early polls that wii been seeing? >> you mean who gets the voters like trump has? >> that's right. >> i think you're looking at ted cruz or some of the more socially conservative guys in the field, guys l

, we're so fortunate to have the two busts of washington and lafayette in the collection. now while the painting was done after the fact in the 1820s, both of these busts of washington and lafayette were done from life that the great french sculpture came to the united states after the revolution and did castings of washington from life and then a few years later, back in france did this magnificent sculpture of lafayette. in fact many french art historians consider this the best work that he ever did. and amazingly, thomas gilcrease was able to acquire this bust of lafayette from the lafayette family. later in thomas gilcrease's collecting experience, he came in contact with the artist of the tause school of art in new mexico. and one of my favorites is this wonderful work of a hunt there at the pube lo area. the title of the work is "too old for the rabbit hunt." and we see this older pa web lo indian in the foreground looking wisfully at the young men on horseback as they're hunting. this is a work for me that transcends time and culture that all of us at some point in

i enabled assure you a portion of washington's tent. we are doing the final conservation work on the tent to prepare it for display in the museum of the american revolution. michelle and i will carefully reveal part of the wall of general washington's tent. what you are seeing -- this is an image that is showing the way the tent will actually be displayed in a museum. it will be in an object theater . the tent will be in its own climate controlled case not unlike the star-spangled banner at the american museum of history. the tent is composed of a roof and a sidewall that hangs from the roof, not unlike a tent you would rent for a party today. in many ways, it's very contemporary. what you are seeing laid out here is the linen wall of that tent. this is what was known as a sod cloth, so this is the bottom of the wall that would hang them and that would fall to the inside of the tent to try to keep rain and dirt and critters from coming into the tent very easily. there would have been a line of little iron hooks and eyes along the top of

joined general washington. one of the rarest objects in the collection i will share with you now. this is a volume that was actually owned by martha washington. it is -- see her signature. m. washington . and it's an early edition printed in england. it was known as a help and guide to christian families, published in london in 1752. quite likely a book that she may well you can imagine would have taken along with her to camp to spend the winter of valley forge . the top of the page is missing. almost certain it was clipped by an autograph collector in the 19th century. presumably, her name would have been written out there as well. and it was probably clipped by a collector. if any viewers have that in their collection, we would love to reunite the book in the autograph, but there is her signature -- martha washington. it is entirely possible to imagine that is a book that spent the winter at valley forge along with the general and his suffering soldiers. few other objects, again, an object that quite likely w

we're on m street southeast in washington, d.c. you can see behind me the navy yard is a couple blocks in the distance. the police presence is as high as it was more than an hour ago when we first arrived on seen. but there's no confirmation that there was a shooter inside. there were just reports of a shooter inside. you can see by the response here how on edge this city is and in fact how on edge the country is as we head into this holiday weekend. we've talked to witnesses who were inside this episode this morning. they were told to leave. they were told if you the couldn't shetlter in place -- some for actually running out of the building. but again, no reports of anyone we could find who actually heard a gunshot. the police presence has not diminished at all over the last hour or so. still investigating this. still a very serious situation here in southeast washington. >> jeff and of course everybody is very alert when you talk about place where such a tragic mass shooting happened two years ago. stay with us on the scene, jef

we're broadcasting from washington, d.c., where history is being made today. in a major diplomatic thaw, cuba will raise its flag here and officially reopen its u.s. embassy after 54 years. hundreds are gathering for this historic moment, including u.s. and cuban lawmakers and diplomats, activists and artists, scholars and historians. cuban foreign minister bruno rodrÍguez is leading a delegation of over two dozen officials from havana, including cuba's chief negotiator josefina vidal. also among the attendees is cuban singer-songwriter silvio rodriguez and former parliament president ricardo alarcon. this afternoon, rodrÍguez will hold a joint news conference with secretary of state john kerry at the state department where cuba's flag was raised earlier this morning, joining the flags of more than 150 other countries that have diplomatic relations with the u.s. in havana, the u.s. embassy will also reopen its doors today. kerry is set to travel there later this summer for the formal inauguration ceremony where a u.s. flag will be hoisted. cubans have welcom

it depicts washington's troops crossing the delaware before the battle of trenton. this is an example of one of our ongoing efforts, in addition to raising funds for the museum, we are conserving our collection. this is a painting that lived for decades and decades in an unheated outbuilding in a park and suffered through the years. you can see areas of over painting. these are some test patches from the conservatories. once the painting is cleaned and there is some filling in, it will become quite right instead of looking like a modern washington, d.c. snowstorm, it is kind of yellowish brown it will look like an 18th-century snowstorm. there's actually a second painting behind this one, same size. it is depicting the troops marching into valley toward. -- valley forge. we are working to complete the conservation of these painting so they can be put on permanent display in the courtyard of the museum on the second floor as you enter and exit the core exhibition. the museum will continue the story be on 1783, the demobilization of the continental army, through the c

breaking news out of washington, d.c. on that major security alert by the washington navy yard. officials are about to give the all-clear for that facility despite earlier reports of a gunman and possible shooting there. pete williams reported the initial report came from someone inside building 197 who reported hearing something that sounded like gunshots. but there's no indication that there was a gunman or shots fired. we're waiting for a briefing from officials outside the navy yard and we'll bring it to you when it begins. i want to bring in jim mick krzyzewskichef miklaszewski for the latest. >> reporter: 12 people were massacred by a lone gunman there in 2013. the initial sweep of that building by federal and local law enforcement s.w.a.t. teams found no evidence of an active shooter. they could find no one who reported hearing gunshots. they found no bullet wounds no bullet holes, that bullet casings anywhere in the building. and i pretty much decided at that time that the reports were just not accurate. and that they were still, however, intent on doing a second sweep c

he became something of a confidante of washington. washington trusted him. used him a little bit as a spy within the camp to tell him if other people were being defeatist or gossiping or whatever. and then washington entrusted him to go in a sense on a lobbying mission back to france. you know lafayette's motto was "why not?" so he had this sense of nothing is impossible. an enormous sense of self-confidence. that spirit, that can-do spirit is something like in my view of the american spirit, the american dream. so he operates at a number of different levels at the kind of more normal level but also something a little bit spiritual about what sort of person he was that he could defy all odds in a way. ♪ he had a checkered life after that. he was a personality in the revolution. and in some senses, he was quite famous and admirable. he is the one who was present at the bastille. he sent george washington a key which is still in the hallway in mt. vernon. but another point in the revolution, he kind of bottled out, i would say a little bit and he trimmed and

not far from washington, d.c. it has a lot of the slogans we associate with the revolution or movement. most recognizable "liberty or death." these words reported be spoken by patrick henry at the beginning of the war. i will lift this carefully out of the amount. you can see "kill or be killed," which is a contemporary sounding slogan. and appeal to heaven. which was something that appeared on new england flags at the time and was also a very popular slogan at the beginning of the war. the date, 1775. and curiously this crown. if you will remember on that havana powderhorn, also a crown with g.r. iii. sometimes people who see this horn are confuse. this guy was a virginia fighting in the continental army. why would he have a crown on his powderhorn? in 1775, these men are still fighting to restore the rights as ingush men within the empire. so it's purposely -- perfectly consistent to see the king as the person who is going to intercede with parliament. that parliament is the group that is oppressing and trying t

the marquis pestered washington to please accept the presidency, while washington insisted that the office of the presidency "has no enticing charms." [laughter] governor mcauliffe: if they only knew. there were letters welcoming the marquis's new son who was named george washington lafayette. in another letter, washington admitted he was reluctant to visit his friend in paris because he did not speak the language and feared the french women would find him awkward. the two men even corresponded over their experience and subjects of the famous french sculptor rodan. and today, both of those priceless works are in our rotunda in the capital in richmond. the two men debated serious issues confronting our new nation. the marquis tried to persuade washington to free his own slaves in an effort to encourage a national emancipation. washington agreed with the goal but did not believe the country would accept it. he let this crucial opportunity pass without acting. the marquis was brave enough and wise enough to see in his new friend a greater good than we were able to see in ourselves. we settled

you've been working your sources in washington. what are they saying? >> what i can tell you right now is so far nothing has been found. there isn't a confirmation that a shooting has actually occurred. people have been tweeting that calls were made that someone was seen with a gun. active shooter protocol has been activated. they're going room to room trying to see if there's any validity to this. we know park police have responded as well, fbi, atf on the scene. this is something they're going to take seriously for a lot of reasons and also because of history there. two years ago 12 people were killed in a shooting there. as soon as you hear there could be an active shooter situation at the navy yard specially with all the threats around the 4th of july authorities are taking this very seriously. we're at the stage right now whether it's fluid. there hasn't been an actual confirmed shooting but we are waiting to see what the situation is given the fact this was called in. >> jim are you still with us? >> reporter: i am. >> what security measures have

so washington's genius is in many more ways political genius. he was not a great general i discovered. >> rose: what in his character made him famously not want to be president for more than two terms and not want to be king? >> it's an interesting story. he starts out as a young man who really wants money status and power, but then he gets more fame and power than any human being can possibly dream of. people don't realize charlie during the revolutionary war he's away for eight and a half years. he only goes back to mount vernon once for three days in eight and a half years. so at the end of the war, he feels like he has really sacrificed the prime of his life to this war. he goes back to mount vernon praying for a little piece of privacy and tranquility. but then what happens because of his stature because people feel so confident in entrusting power to him he's first pulled out and becomes the president of the constitutional convention. he does it very reluctantly. he very reluctantly becomes the first president. the office is literally his

washington is fantasizing about attacking new york city. he sends general john sullivan to enter the iroquois homeland and unleash devastation on their villages and cornfields. washington says, the immediate objects of the total destruction and devastation of their settlements in the capture of of as many prisoners as possible. it will be essential to ruin their crops and prevent their planting more that the country may not be nearly overrun but destroyed. he says, here is your tactic rush on with fixed bayonets, nothing will terrify them more than this, you will not by any means listen to any talks piece until the total brew went of -- root of their settlements. it is likely that their fears it if they are unable to oppose a spoken help them to offer peace. our security will be in their inability -- the distance to which they are driven in the terror with which the chastisement they receive will inspire them. so another words, we are going to terrify these guys, push them as far away as possible, and make it impossible for them to attack u

>> it is an interesting thing in washington. that is the question that both president obama and democrats love to focus on. how do you solve the problem? su focus on areas of common ground. i am long-term optimistic and short-term pessimistic. long-term i'm optimistic because there is a lot of bipartisan agreement outside of washington on immigration. there's overwhelming bipartisan agreement that number one, we need to finally do something to stop illegal immigration. >> what do you do with 11 million people? send them back or give them a way to get legal? >> chuck i don't accept the premise that you have to solve every aspect of this problem all at once. president obama and the democrats focus on that issue. because the question you're is the most divisive partisan question in this entire debate. and i don't believe president obama wants to solve this. >> i understand that it's divisive. but it's still Ôe@problem. >> but you don't have to solve every problem at once. look, here's the problem. >> that's fine. but explain how y

i am able to show you a portion of washington's tent. we are doing the final conservation work on the tent for display in the museum. michelle and i will carefully reveal part of the wall of general washington's tent. what you are seeing -- this is an image that is showing the way the tent will actually be displayed in a museum. it will be in an object theater and the tent will be in its own climate controlled case not unlike the star-spangled banner at the american museum of history. the tent is composed of a roof and a sidewall that hangs from the roof, not unlike a tent you would rent for a party today. in a lot of ways, it is a very contemporary style. what you're seeing laid out here is the linen wall of that tent. this is what was known as a sod cloth so this is the bottom of the wall that would hang them and that would fall to the inside of the tent to try to keep rain and dirt and critters from coming into the tent very easily. there would have been a line of little iron hooks and eyes along the top of that wall. as you can see,

right now we are getting some showers in washington. they are now moving into prince george's county briefly. they are scooting on through at about 30 miles per hour. it's fender bender weather because the beltway is wet across montgomery county into prince george's county and will be wet along 50 as well and along 95 and 29 in washington. into frederick and northern montgomery and howard counties in maryland. we have light rainier fredericksburg. right now, we're in the upper 60s, near 70. it's humid this morning, and we'll have a few of these showers around maybe lingering around 8:00. you get some sun breaking out late morning and noontime near 80 by then. low to mid 80s during the mid afternoon. heading back home we could have some thundershowers coming through. only a small chance they would be severe. the impact is fairly low to moderate from these showers. scattered storms this afternoon and evening. then showers moving back in on friday. off and on showers much of the day tomorrow, with highs only in the mid to upper 70s. then o

in our superficial calculationness washington. john kerry his political career back to the 1980's has been hounded by the criticism he talks a lot but doesn't have a lot of signature accomplishments, legislative achievements. he won the democratic nomination but not presidency. for him this means a huge amount. there is a real battle now. because i don't think it's a totally foregone conclusion that this deal will survive in the u.s. congress. i think the odds are very high that it will. congress would need a two thirds majority, a supermajority to override a veto. if you had some -- a dozen or so democrats defect, they could uphold it and bring the deal down. so what's happening now, the process isn't over. there's a sales pitch under way. and when you see the president, his press conference under way or you see john kerry making the rounds of these interviews trying to make a case to the u.s. congress that says this is the best it's going to get. there's no realistic alternative. you can't tear it down now. we've gone too far. a
