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. as 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

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 us 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 in 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 advise

jon sopel, bbc news, washington. the cost of the damage caused by hurricane florence on the us east coast is still being counted and in north carolina, the worst affected state, the rain is still falling. flooding is driving hundreds of people from their homes with many having to be rescued as the waters continue to rise. from north carolina, our north america correspondent chris buckler sent this report. in north carolina, they need boats to race down many of the streets in this state. water levels continue to rise, leaving more people trapped in their homes. they had to do a swift—water rescue for someone who refused to leave and that... there is no way short of handcuffing someone that you can make someone leave during an evacuation. the decision to leave behind pets and possessions is always difficult, but storm florence has taken away any choice — and so much more. this house here, i lost everything, all the appliances. i never even dreamed something like this would happen. how do you recover from this? goin

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,

after washington slap sanctions on the people's liberation army over its purchase of a russian weaponry. 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 it is targeting russia mostly with its new round of sanctions but also launching a blow that is well which intention is to damage beijing everything revolves around the russia's weapons brushes 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 these acts are doing they essentially are pushing more school towards r

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 washington globe" was his newspaper. imagine if every president could just start their own thing -- we may be getting there. jackson was ahead of his time. people would bring him editorials, he would edit them. it was a partisan act. it was how he communicated with the country. it's beyond our kin now, but as one of the great architects of democrat culture, that understanding that you had to be in more or less constant communication with a democratic populace foreshadowed the modern world. i think he would have used twitter. you use the means of your day. and it's no mistake that our greatest presidents, our most effective presidents, have been those who understood, sometimes intuitively, the means of communication. so jackson and lincoln understood the importance of the printed word. jackson understood images. he kept a painter. a guy named ralph earl, a painter lived in the white house to keep painting him. it was like the photo office. then president roosevelt, winston churchill, president re reagan understood radio a

that doha has done working with washington to address almost every single one of washington's concerns in the in the realm of terrorism in the realm of security of a range of issues in the gulf so i think it shows what a dramatic change what a dramatic impact his foreign minister and defense minister had here in washington after the may riyadh summit when things went so terribly terribly wrong given that basis it's still very much a political decision how washington addresses the ongoing saudi led blockade of author but i think this report gives at least a substantive basis for those in washington to try to continue efforts to bring to bring this more to appeal close rather than just to take the side of the saudis there as was the initial inclination ultimately do you think that this is going to be the americans to put in put in all that political leverage in the region to the apostles you know what you do to set aside your differences because your help is crucial of this predicament or do you think it's too late at this this particular moment well first let me agree again with my coll

that's what washington said. to see a farmer, a bartender, a printer which is like a journalist from a grocery store owner and a socialite combined forces in three and half years to bring down the british and infiltrate their headquarters and do it in a way that helps us win the battle of yorktown, allowed the french to land in america without being confronted by the british wild outing benedict arnold before he could turn over west point, i thought they lived and died in anonymity. if i could highlight their struggle and what they did and credit they didn't get can maybe i could tell a story that america could relate to. and so-called average everyday americans turned on average everyday americans because the fact is, without us there is no america as much as would we loe men on mount rushmore, the people that made america are everybody else around mount rushmore. so george washington secret six opened up but i thought was a venue. take the founding fathers, let the geniuses like meacham and brinkley and churn o

as i say, i wish i knew more about george washington. you know, the most important thing is not only how he led us during the revolution, became the first president setting precedents all along the way, but this amazing letter that he writes when he's on his way to his inauguration. he worries about whether or not he has the strength to take our country through this, but he said i have integrity and firmness, and i have character, and that's what i can depend upon. and we were very, very lucky to have him as our first president. so he's a guy i'd love to know more abouti have more time. if i can live for a long period of time, i will study george. >> host: he might be -- i was going to ask you, who's the next president you really want to take on, it's george washington? >> guest: oh, i don't know -- >> host: is there anybody else out there? >> guest: it's going to the take me a long time the. i'm going to work on movies for a little while because i've got a possible movie going on. a great journalist who was with finish.
