we changed our name from the papers of george washington to the washington papers. it's a very deliberate change because we did not want to offend martha. lest it be suggested that martha was in some sent an exit sense and exemplary to george washington or she operated in his shadow for her role was to prop him up and help him become great, we need to emphasize the fact that she was, in herself a very important person. we think the mount vernon ladies association for supporting us in this vast new expansion we began in july of last year. we published the full papers of martha washington in two volumes in the papers of the washington family which will be in three volumes, and letterpress and a comprehensive digital edition which will include his parents, his siblings, martha's children and martha's grandchildren and our good friend, justice of the supreme court. first of all as i begin to talk about the george washington as an entrepreneur, i need to give thanks above all for this work for what's good in it from a good friend jim and carol corder who are in the audie

washington journalism mattered to me. my dream was a waste to work for the washington post. susan: there are lots of different answers to what was the conflict. i learned a lot. i was the national editor of the post at the time. papers were not where they are today in terms of figuring out the very uncomfortable digital transitions. our friends and colleagues had just left to found a little go. politico. we were trying to reinvent political coverage. it was a special challenge for me to manage such a large staff of many very accomplished .eterans very anxious about what this new era of transformation was going to be like. the longtime editor of the post was replaced right after that. leonard downie. bigpaper went through a series of changes that needed to happen. it has been great to see its recovery over the last couple of years. the new owner and an infusion of new blood and new ideas. brian: the two of you were selling a book in 2007. susan: very early on in vladimir putin's 10's tenure we met with one of his top political the goalts and he said was to and the revolution.

washington often known as lady washington became very firmly mrs. washington. towards the end of may martha set out for new york. she took with her her two grandchildren nelly age 10 and george washington age eight. as you all know far better than i they were the children of her son jackie who had died of camp fever or type this shortly after the victory at york town and the washington's ever since his death had given a home to these 22 are worth the youngest two of his four children. lewis, one of the presidents many nephews recorded martha's departure from mt. vernon. the servants of the house and a number of the field because took leave of their mistress. numbers of these poor wretches seemed greatly agitated, much affected, my aunt equally so. when the party stopped at abington the plantation were martha's older granddaughters lived the promotion was to greater. to lewis wrote the family in tears, the children are bawling, everything in the most lamentable situation. the new president came over to the jersey shore to meet his wife and conduct a party to the

nonetheless, washington went to crazy rumsey because he understood, washington did, washington did, that the future of the 13 original states depended on its ability to incorporate new territory, new states and if kentucky and tennessee and ohio were treated the way they treated massachusetts and virginia, we would have a problem on our own hand. so washington spent a great deal of his journey talking about rivers and canals. a man last night, when i gave a presentation, he said he thought he would like to compare washington to dwight d eisenhower. i said to some extent, for washington, washington, on this journey, canals and rivers were like highways. our ability to keep ourselves as a union is dependent on our ability to have commerce flow. crazy rumsey is a figure you will meet in my book and he was a nutter, but a very desirable one. also, you will meet in one of the most touching scenes of the whole journey, a man who just buys to the state of rhode island. they were reluctant to ratify the constitution and in fact on washington's first trip to new england, he carefully of avoided s

washington monument has no ornament at all. it's very on washington like. i decided i would write a book about it. you alluded to a few reasons why talk about the odd man out in the book. it struck me that i know nothing about the washington monument. it's probably a structure you should know a little something about. after reading your book, it seems like you went into the many problems it took to build the monument. before we get to that what is the monuments origin. how did our country decide on a washington monument of any kind? >> it started out in 1783 when the revolutionary war was over but we hadn't signed the treaty of peace with britain. congress passed a bill authorizing the direction of a monument to george washington, huge equestrian monument with a huge huge base and everything else. that was the easy part. in 1783, the united states was as broke as any country could be. they didn't have enough money to pay interest on the debt let alone build a monument. every few years some would suggest, we really ought to do something to have a monument to

washington. got me thinking that perhaps the most familiar figure was in many ways the most unfamiliar. charlie: what now do we know that makes the unfamiliar familiar? >> i discovered that under the surface, washington was a passionate and complex man with many militant fiery opinions. he was a fierce perfect -- perfectionist but it was all under this reserve and stoic, butnic aura that we know there was a fierce personality under that facade. charlie: could you make the case that without george washington, the revolution would have failed? >> and author used the phrase earlier, "the indispensable man." there were probably generals who from a strategic standpoint were superior. while the other generals are jockeying for power and getting sidetracked, george washington always has a clarity of vision. there is a tenacity of purpose and a force of character. there's no one in the world whom you would rather give a monumental task to then george washington. this is a man who had tremendous experienc

is, it is basically washington, not to be washington. the congress did not designate it that way at the beginning. they designated it just as the federal seat of government that's the way it's stated it in the residents act of 1790. but what happened was washington appointed three commissioners i go into those commissioners in some it will in the book. and they decided along the way, i think it was several years into the course of the city's creation that it should be called washington. and they declared that it would be called washington. about your question about john adams. excuse me. [inaudible] >> d.c. -- >> i apologize christopher columbus, columbia. d.c.. >>s oh, it was that was in -- that's in i believe that's in the federal act of 1790 that it would be the seat of government in the district of columbia. yeah. as simple as columbia -- columbus had a great importance to the land at that time there was a poet named joe parlo who wrote a poem columbiad about this nation soy apologize for allieding over that. the other part of your q

but washington wasn't. washington would sit there and work with the people and come up, say, with a great compromise that had the small states had -- the small states each get -- every state gets two members of the senate, and the house of representatives there'd be a proportional representation. the virginia plan has everything proportional. so a few states that the house of representatives proportional, and then they elect the senate. and then they elect the president. and that gets bushed back at the -- pushed back at the convention, because the big states want, the big states control the house of representatives because that's proportional, but the small states all get equal representation in the senate. and then the president is picked by this weird electoral college mechanism which is truly a compromise to get around the problem of slavery and to give more weight to the small states. that's why it's come up. but the big states wanted direct election of the president. that was what was in, that was wha

make no mistake, washington set the strategy. washington set the goals. hamilton's job, and hamilton was not washington's first choice as secretary of the treasury -- was to implement those goals. hamilton certainly came up with exceptionally detailed and very important ideas, and plans, for maintaining the economy. washington studied every single word of everything that hamilton wrote, and accepted most but rejected some, came close to vetoing the bank of the united states. washington's final achievement as president, i think, to maintain and give us a foundation for prosperity, this is the jay treaty aftermath when john jay, poor guy, was burned in effigy. at least he wasn't actually burned or hanged himself. people were furious at washington should establish a treaty with the british in 1795, in which we didn't really get that much out of it. we got something out of it. but washington's goal here was twofold. peace, peace, peace, on the one hand. he was a man of peace. not despite having been a general and a soldier, but i think because he was soldier

after george washington. that is how long it took. even today is still winds of extensive renovation. and this is city of hosts tour groups, many of which consist of eighth-grade boys when you something looks like: two public at the washington monument and take horrible pictures and say terrible things and snicker to each other which is just awful. that is the story of george washington. avenue gotten to the body of a yet. in his will he asked to please at least move my remains of the old family tomb and put them in the new one is the old tomb is situated above the potomac river which was prone to flooding. he was worried his bones within the washing downstream. it took about 30 years to build that soon. mount vernon was unprofitable. all these people making pilgrimages uninvited. by the time they did finally build the new tim washington's remains call this holding them. the guys suit take charge of moving george washington's remains, they broke up an account and everything that they run about that is an pass

washington, alaska, hawaii. by the end of the day, nearly half of all of the democratic delegates will have been awarded. that does not mean, however, that the clinton/sanders fight for the nomination will be over anytime soon. the republican candidates are not competing in any contests today. the republican party held its caucuses in alaska and hawaii earlier this month. you may know, trump won hawaii, cruz won alaska. we have a team of correspondents inside the caucuses today. first we go to sara sidner in seattle, washington. sara, big turnout there today. >> reporter: absolutely. there are about 450 people here. a quick look at this room. this room was actually cordoned off, fake walls put up basically. they pushed those out and had to open up the room, because just so many people streamed in. a look now, but the big deal going on here is they have done an initial count. these are 17 different districts, and they have done an initial count. i will give you that number now. so far from just a few of those dis

, washington. but in the counties that have come in, bernie sanders well ahead with roughly three quarters of the vote. let's talk about the votes that have come in and where bernie sanders is doing so well. >> remember, this is about delegates so 304 down in terms of pledged delegates to start the day. we're waiting for the major population centers, very significant. the bulk of the congressional districts are here in the northwestern part of the state and the delegates are allocated some statewide, some by congressional district. we need to wait for the numbers. you see 74-25. pretty consistent throughout the day. you go through the counties, 71% here, 71 here. the vote that's in is more than 7 in 10 about everywhere. that doesn't mean it will come in that way here but when have gone to our correspondents they seem roughly coinciding. 101 delegates at stake. we have to go by congressional district. but roughly look at senator sanders about 75, she's going to get about 25. that's rough. >> plus 50

washington. the oddities of serious connections and then once they're just plain inexplicable. i bring you some news from the world of commerce. there's a whole set of has a disinterested you can open a zachary taylor said and pulled out candy which is cool. there's the teddy bear of course mean for president teddy roosevelt and there's this one which i will submit without comment i saw in cleveland, ohio, from the 19th century. garfield t., laxatives and diuretics or to slogan, flush your bowels with garfield t. but there are some things that connect to is even today far beyond what happened 100 or 150 years ago. we saw an egg sample last year when president obama decide to change the name of the highest mountain in alaska from mount mckinley to denali. and my host and actuating sample about a decade ago when we of the presidential range of mountains, not washington, mount adams, matt pierce. some lawmakers want to add a mount reagan. nevada had the same thing happened it was an effort to put mo

most amazingly of all, if you want a sense of how hostile george washington ended up, after george washington died, thomas jefferson visits mount vernon, martha washington makes the statement to friends that the second worth day of her life was the stay thomas jefferson visited mount vernon, the worst day of her life having been the day her husband died. works powerful statement. then she says to friends that thomas jefferson was among the most detestable of all mankind. and martha washington was not particularly political. >> rose: why did she say that? well, she felt jefferson had betrayed and double-crossed her husband. >> rose: is that a true portrait of jefferson, that that was part of the nature of the man? >> jefferson wrote a letter to an italian friend that ended up accidentally getting published in the newspapers where this friend who had visited the united states, he says to the italian friend, you would be amazed at the heresies that have sprung up among us. he said, those who were samsons in the field and solomons in the council have had their heads shorn by england. very strong

john washington was the first washington to arrive in virginia in 1656. and his idea was to simply load up a ship with tobacco and sail back to england and sell it there. he had no intention of remaining in virginia. we owe the whole future history of our country to the fact that his ship sank. [laughter] he was ready to go. he was going to go back, and, the poor guy, his ship sank. he displayed among the first attributes of the washington's, and there were many of them, adaptability, flexibility. he decides, well, my ship has assigned. he complains a lot. the washington's are a lot of complaints, who's going to pay for this loss? but he is also very adaptable gentlemen and he decides that well, this is the rounded, i've lost my ship, i'm going to make my fortune here. the next thing that he does that is very characteristic of the washington is that he marries very well las. [laughter] i'd like to before go on in this thing, to talk about good marriages in the washington family. i'd like to emphasize the fact that this is not a matter of the washington ma

but in washington it was about 77% to 23% there. too early to call with only 13% in, in that west coast state we'll watch that as well as hawaii the other two states. and of course, we may jump out at any time if we get bernie sanders because he is expected to come out and speak. that is why we cleared danny out of the way for those interested. you look at a night like this, and there are folks in bernie land, saying why can't he get a big celebration, three big states, why does everybody jump back to the long-term map. and maybe the best win since new hampshire which has a symbolic win for him. >> listen, he should celebrate, it's a great night for him. many people will have a great night tonight there. the question is what does the math say and how can he change the way the campaign is going? a candidate like bernie sanders has to find a way to get beyond the people who were pulled to him in the beginning. hillary clinton has contacts with all the important voter groups in the party. and bernie sanders started out as a man who was

that's a real relationship of trust, then, between washington and lear. >> absolutely. >> president washington does put the nation's finances on firmer footing. no wonder he's on the $1 bill. it's also why i think inheriting his wallet, of all things, is so cool. no surprise that the first person it passes to, the story goes, is tobias lear, who stays at washington's bedside at mount vernon on the night of december 14, 1799, when the former president dies at age 67. but the modern-day heirs in this strange inheritance story, the farwell ladies, are not descendants of tobias lear, either. they invite me back to their home in morrisville, pennsylvania, right across the delaware river, to connect the dots. >> my father was a truck driver. we got along, but we were very frugal. my mother was an excellent homemaker, pretty good cook, and she was a hard worker. >> she also has a little secret. where did your mom keep the wallet? >> in a little black box squirreled away somewhere. >> after the break, the improbable path of washington's wallet, if, in fact, it's really his. she is 100% convinced this

he seemed like a good candidate for washington to send. the treaty that he brought back becomes very controversial and one of the tipping points in creating the two parties as sort of leading to what we know today. the treaty is basically starts becoming publically attacks in the press. the press of the -- what would become the democratic republican party, the party of thomas jefferson and james madison would start vilifying this treaty. what's interesting is nobody has read it. it hasn't been published. but yet, it's going to be pilloried in the press to people hate the treaty that they don't know anything about. the federalist side, of the john adams and alexander hamiltons, is in favor of the treaty. they are in favor of building the young economy of the united states, staying out of a war, trading with all sides in europe, not being limited by alliance to france or something like this. so we're really seeing this treaty become kind of of a symbolic head point between these two sides. and the senate approves the treaty. now according to

that's a real relationship of trust, then, between washington and lear. >> absolutely. >> president washington does put the nation's finances on firmer footing. no wonder he's on the $1 bill. it's also why i think inheriting his wallet, of all things, is so cool. no surprise that the first person it passes to, the story goes, is tobias lear, who stays at washington's bedside at mount vernon on the night of december 14, 1799, when the former president dies at age 67. but the modern-day heirs in this strange inheritance story, the farwell ladies, are not descendants of tobias lear, either. they invite me back to their home in morrisville, pennsylvania, right across the delaware river, to connect the dots. >> my father was a truck driver. we got along, but we were very frugal. my mother was an excellent homemaker, pretty good cook, and she was a hard worker. >> she also has a little secret. where did your mom keep the wallet? >> in a little black box squirreled away somewhere. >> after the break, the improbable path of washington's wallet, if, in fact, it's really his. she is 100% convinced this

on washington. you don't yell a lot. it makes you ill manored. >> i want to focus as much as i can on solutions. you brought up donald trump a lot. when he says he is going to build a wall when he tells me he's going to make america energy independent. relax, all right? do you not believe him? >> no. >> do you not believe -- for example you don't think he would build a wall. he told them he wasn't going to build the wall. he said he went to manhattan a couple months ago and told the new york times -- >> he said he was flexible. that's what he claims he said. what was recorded is he told them listen i don't believe the language i am using about immigration. i am just saying it because it scares people and makes them vote for me. i don't intend to do it. if he releases the tape we can all see the fact that he won't release the tape donald is telling us he's lying to us. here is the difference. as president, donald said he will be a completely different person the day after he is elected he will be the

washington took showed it would be democratic. voiced ofo criticism martha washington. washington was criticized. there were those that thought washington's parties were too semi-royal. but no one criticized the first lady herself. finally, if she had done nothing else, martha washington said something that i often thought to be carved over the entrance of the white house for anyone that lives there. she said "the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances." that is wisdom. and applicable assume any --applicable to so many clinical situations. susan: she built a very constrained by the position. or the quotes in the book is that she felt like a prisoner of the state, who could no longer live her life. much as she sacrifices he did, no doubt about it. people tend to overlook that she outlived all four of her children. she lost all of her children. she lost her first husband. there is a lot of tragedy in martha washington's life. in manycourse she was ways as much a face of the revolution, particularly to those fightin

we heard it on the ground in washington this week certainly. people wanted more and they elect barack obama, some of them told me, and they got a seine tryst. that's what i heard. think certainly wanted him to be more to the left. but even going all the way back to the harkearkens steak fry you heard people who supported obama and they wanted to support hilary clint nl. they femt like that was a continuation. you said to them, you don't really sound too excited about it. they'll say what did they say lightning only strikes twice a couple of people told me. so i think that the president can really rile those people up who are excited or not really excited but maybe what they need to do is to be a little inspired to get their friends to come out and that's something that he definitely can help with, as david says. >> one thing that is definitely true kate bolduan, is this is going to be a very, very very brutal and grueling presidential race i think once the general election nominees have been chosen. >> that's absolutely right jake. let's talk a

excuse me, in washington, d.c., the other washington, as we say. what are your thoughts on the conversation we're having, the idea of whether bernie has enthusiasm or also has some sort of path? >> well, there's certainly enthusiasm. i think that there was a lot of discussion about the magic of that bird and i think that he would need some of that magic in order for the path to the nomination to look clearer than it does right now, because it is a very difficult one to see. although, i mean just looking at the early returns that you've been showing, ari, those are the kinds of margins he's going to have to win if there is some very narrow path for him. >> and you talk about the path. howard dean, i want to raek from the cook political report, a reputable nonpartisan source, although this particular analysis has been passed around by clinton partisans. they say clinton has a pledged delegate lead of 1238 to 924 meaning sanders would need to win 58% of all remaining pledged delegates to even draw even by june with clinton. so again, as we reported ac

if you want a washington deal maker who will go to washington and cut deals with the democrats and cut deals with harry reid and nancy pelosi j donald trump is your man. that's what he's promising to do. i stand with the millions of americans who are frustrated, who are fed up with washington deal makers, because the deals always benefit the rich and powerful and wall street, and they always benefit the giant corporations, and the people that get left in the cold are the washington deals are always the working men and women of this country. we need a president who stands with the working men and women in this country. if i'm elected president, we'll repeal every word of obama care. we'll pass a simple flat tax and abolish the irs. we'll stop amnesty and secure the boarders, and the result will be millions and millions of high paying jobs. wages going up for the first time in over a decade. young people coming out of stool with two, three, four, five job opportunities. we can do that, and this election is about a fundamental choice. >> senator, are you open to a unity ticket with senato
