jefferson is the idealist. washington believes interest drives decisions that is the reason why he abandons the french. they saved our bacon in the american revolution but that was then and this is now. we sell them out in 1796 hour interest has shifted and for jefferson ideals are the reality and if you pursue that far enough you end up at the guillotine. robespierre et cetera. but washington's prescription for isolation dies in the late h century and early 20th century to become the major economic power and that attempt to implement in the war years is a catastrophe as we walk away from status what happens with the rise of hitler and mussolini? so we know but if you attempt to apply jefferson's realism to our situation now, the verdict i offer is we are perfectly positioned as a superpower just between the atlantic and the pacific go both ways and in that interdisciplinary approach isolation is impossible. it doesn't exist anymore. the question is and if we are a superpower but what kind? and on that score, a

jefferson is president. he is worried that if he tells jefferson that he's got to do this, that jefferson and the republican democrats, as they were called, might do something to harm the judiciary. marshall wanted to protect the court. but on the other hand, he didn't want to make the federalists mad because they might be back in power again soon, too. he figured out a way to split the hairs. marshall said there are three questions before us. first, he said did marberry have a right to the commission? he said yes, he did. he said if his right had been violated, did the law provide a remedy? he said yes. third question. if so, was the proper remedy a writ of mandamus from the supreme court? that's what he brought, a writ of mandamus to madison, carry this out. to that, he said no. and what he said was, he said if you read it -- one thing robert byrd said to me one time -- and he was citing harry truman. he said anytime you read the constitution, put it down and read it sometime later and you'll find somethin

and jefferson when his supporters say you can't. if you do things the constitution doesn't say you can do, you open a path up to ultimate disaster. the issue is still not dead today. hamilton's position was there are implied powers if the constitution doesn't say you can't do it and it is for the general welfare, you can do it. really, if hamilton had not won that argument, whatever your political views are, if hamilton had not, the constitution could never have survived. because this allows it to be shaped and molded to a certain degree. so he's influenced by great britain in a way that people like jefferson who despise great britain make him that -- he is a monarchist. you know, he's on the right wing of the political spectrum. another thing -- one reason why hamilton is not as popular today, his few of the common man is pretty negative. you set up a government relying on the virtue of ordinary people, you are in trouble. that was his view. well, democracy hails the ordinary people. so jefferson is the champion of the enlightened

but over the last several decades monticello has slowly expanded the story beyond jefferson, through research and archeological work, to include the vast majority of those who lived and worked her at a site about a half mile from the main house, students in a summer program dug trenches, sifted dirt, and found ceramics, nails, and other artifacts of slaveife. the restoration of" mulberry row" beginning in 2011 opened a window onto the workplaces and houses of enslaved artisans and domestic workers. >> i think monticello is a microcosm of the american story, meght. how willing have tcan people been to acknowledge slavery as their history and not enmeone else's history? >> brown: leslie gbowman is president of the thomas jeffnsson foundation, which ow and operes monticello. in 2000 monticello published a report on d.n.a.nd other evidence of jefferson's paternity of hemings' six children, four of wh survived to adulthood. that and work by leading icscholars helped bring pu acceptance. some doubters remain, but experts and monticello itself now consider this a settled matter. >> monticel

was jefferson davis. and they cannot say it because they refuse to admit what is obvious to everyone what jefferson davis represented was slavery, institutionalized racism, was a violation of everything the founders set forth in the declaration of independence. it is a rejection of the concept of the united states as a pluribus furnum. and that has exposed especially when people say they expose the true quote/unquote treason with liberals. all the things they claim to oppose are actually things they're standing for when they talk about evjefferson davis' memorial road. >> the democrats make great inroads in the suburbs in the south but rural america, the democratic footprint eroding more. >> well, but i'm still optimistic. we've been seeing people say they're ashamed of what she said. >> they are conservative republicans who want a better choice than that. >> it's disgraceful. i hope they stand up tomorrow. cindy's almost -- she's cartoonish almost in what she does. taking pictures with confederate hats o

but that was part of jefferson's original heart. but the job of government, though it does not include spying on its law-abiding people, who have committed no supposed to not include telling its people where they have to live, what they have to do for a living or not do. it's supposed to be about freedom. and in fact, i think dennis amusing comment that if the founders were willing to go to war and sacrifice, risk or sacrifice their lives in a war over a little tax on their breakfast drink, then think how upset they'd be today. yet we see the problems, we discuss the problems here, but when the going gets tough, apparently the tough get going by heading home. we have until january 3, apparently, when the new congress is sworn in, to get things done with a republican majority in the house and a republican majority in the senate. we passed a tax bill, there have been other bills passed as chairman hensarling was talking about. but when it comes to bills that ve to do with whether or not this little experiment in self-government contin

second, jefferson said in the virginia statute that no man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place or ministry on account of his religious opinion or beliefs. and has a duality to it, you can't be forced against your conscience to support a faith, that is what we are familiar with the established cause of the constitution, but you also cannot suffer on account of your opinion of conscience. that is exercised. the third section says we know we are passing a statute. this is something that some future legislature could take it away if they wanted to, but it would be wrong because this is an inherent right that no one should be taking away. looking back on this, someone said it was not wonderful to thomas jefferson, he said hindus and muslims and choose can all enjoy the protection. there are two key takeaways. one is religious liberty as a fundamental right, not a gift from the state, second, protection of conscience at the very core at this right and it applies to everyone. now, if you look out on the world, there are three different approaches to religi

the fire was so hot that the skylights thomas jefferson wanted so desperately in the capitol melted. a lot of talk after the burning that maybe we should relocate the capitol help madison and james monroe, his successor would have none of it. this would be rebuilt, and by 1818 we were back in business. there were other heroes and lots of other history. three men, thomas walter and captain montgomery megs and a surprise, a senator named jefferson davis were responsible for making sure the appropriations were there to expand the building to what it is pretty much now today. thomas -- i'm sorry, jefferson davis, a surprise, but he was passionate about building this building and expanding it. where we are today, the original house chamber had terrible acoustics and so they had to grow with the growing country. abraham lincoln and the congress during that time period during the civil war who insisted on the completion of the dome. there were lots of penny pinchers in the congress back then, too. why were we spending money on this frivolous venture when our men in the field needed blankets
