, george washington, george washington and then all these other guys you get a take that knowledge with you. and i just wanted you to have -- i don't want my reader, longest answer ever. [laughter] i don't want my reader -- i don't expect you to turn around and give a really long talk about this. i want you to be really excited about it. i want you to turn around and talk about it like in a cocktail party. >> host: i will say, i was reading half the book recently when is talking to my wife i was set i was reading your new book and i said did you know washington love dogs? [laughter] it was one of the things at the beginning she was like i did not know that. so we talked about the dogs. to your points, i really wanted to talk about these facts i learned about george washington. >> guest: it's important to know that he loved dogs. he has to be a fully formed person to you. you have to know that he was silly enough to call his dog sweet lips. and you need that, right? it makes him look human, you also need details on other things like you can't just know how many enslaved people he owns. a

all the way from washington through lincoln. and that population could not resist the allure of, what to their eyes, were little used plans. the american indians living on these lands would not and could not feed them. but that desire and the desire desire for peace simply could -- for peace simply could not coexist or coexist for long. with the purchase from france of vast territories in 1803, challenges and the possible solutions grew to an even grander scale. the idf moving all native peoples west of the mississippi would take hold. but how best to affect it was still something that was being contemplated through policy proposals, through thoughtful analysis of what the future might hold, and yet underlying those sorts of thoughtful, and i would say optimistic and hopeful ideas, there were realities. including the growth of population and the inability to contain them. i'm excited now to sit back and learn from the other speakers today. having a speaker, lindsay robertson, will be introduced now and he will tell us about what

it was very fitting that the city of washington was called washington. it was george washington who had chosen the spot on the potomac river for the city. it was george washington who it spent a good deal of his presidency overseeing the construction of the city. and it was of course ultimate george washington who gave his name to the place. he did we start calling washington itself until the end of his presidency. but i think he hoped the city could do what you really don't longer could, which is hold together the feuding and factions tearing apart the country. and, of course, there iss some irony today as we think about it, the fact that george washington during the prime of life really was the man boast. what is it was the force you altogether america. today when we look at the city of washington i think it's almost synonymous with political divisions. that's an irony that sort of attracted me to the story and made me realize ine some ways te story of washington's last years involving feuding and distractions is the beginning of the city of washington

mary washington did not remarry after george washington's father died and george washington was only 11 years old at the time. so she really gave him a tremendous strength of character. she taught him very many things about how to manage in an estate. she was herself known to be very religious, so i think it's very clear she read to him books, not only the bible. but books on religion. she had to be a very strong woman. i think george washington was probably quite like his mother. she seems to be a no-nonsense figure herself. and now she's had an interesting reputation throughout american history. on the one hand in the 19th century mary washington was held up as the great model of womanhood in america, because she was the one who raised the greatest citizen. and so in this democracy in the 19th century, we want to have great citizens, we need to have great mothers like mary washington. in fact the first national monument to a woman in this country was created from mary washington in fredericksburg before the civil war. i think it was in the 1830s. but by the 20th century, interestin

it is very fitting the city of washington calls washington washington had chosen the spot on the potomac river in washington who spent a good deal of his presidency overseeing the construction of the city and gave name to the place he started calling it washington himself but he holds that the city could do what he no longer could which is the feuding and that factions to tear apart the country and there is some irony today that george washington during that time in his life when most look forward all together that it's almost synonymous with political division and then made me realize the spirit of washington last year is actually the story of the beginning. >> to all of us who are at the back of the book for what a great book it is the changes the way that we view washington's last years how did it change your view what lessons should they draw from the last years? >> does it make you think less of a man? and to understand how difficult it was and for what it check for washington with those forces and personalities and then you understand for him to surrender power and with the former

coming from washington delegation no one seemed inclined to cross the great washington. washington is equal and this is a picture of franklin during the convention, and never wanted of her franklin boasts of silence and besides the structure of the executive is a great importance. he urged delegates to deliver before the question was put. this comments burst the dam and flooded the room for four days with the discussion still raging, franklin said to his fellow delegates Ãbthe first man put up the home will be a good one. the executive will always be increasing here as elsewhere until it ends invested to them. favoring a week executive at one point or another adding provisions for impeachment and removal from office. as franklin put it at the convention it would be best to provide in the constitution for the regular punishment of the executive what its misconduct should deserve it and for his honorable acquittal when he should be unjustly accused. washington for his part consistently supported a strong executive and carried most of the states with them. the third congre

one of the things i try to get across whenever i'm talking about washington is that washington is a bit of an enigma to a modern audience. why? because we really don't know who he was, what he was, how he looked. i mean, when i show you these images here, these images are of three of our noteworthy presidents. every ten years or so, about 700 political scientists and historians across the country rank our presidents. now, who knows how our current president is going to rank? nonetheless, whenever those rankings come out, generally these three guys here rank at the top. sometimes it'll be lincoln, sometimes washington, sometimes f.d.r. but the interesting thing about this is that we do not know what george really looked like. we have images of lincoln. we have photograph images. and you can follow those photographs over time and see how he changed, how he aged. and of course we have images of f.d.r. we even have some images of him in his wheelchair. and generally the press did not take images of him in his wheelchair. but with george washington, he was there before photography so we don'

we are not interested in that anymore. >> not washington's life per se, but washington's presidency and the way in which they consume american politics very quickly. what relevance do you think it has for the president and the moment that people are, people seem to have some ideas that there's some way we could banish those things. it does not seemed like we can. it is t just part of the deal. do you think there any lessons on how to manage it aired how to deal with it? >> partisanship is inevitable. it does not have to be a terrible thing. he was wrong about that. he was wrong that you would just ban it forever. you could have a unifying figure it is the job of the president to do a much better job of being a unifying figure and then say what you will about obama. he could control himself and he acted in an appropriate manner because at the end of the day he is serving the entire american body, not just the people who voted for him. i think that we need to expect more of our leaders. that is meaningless in a lot of ways. say what you mean, but also act in a way that serves everyone. i

>> "the washington post." matthew: "the washington post," yeah. do you notice there's a key difference between first one, the second one. what word did they use? >> lore. matthew: white house lore. if we go back, there's not really -- it kind of repeats the story verbatim that we know but at least "the washington post" acknowledges that there's lore to it. it may not be entirely true, we're just not sure. what about the final one? any ideas? >> kind of using it as a way to be critical of the president? matthew: how so? >> because it's talking about how they're trying to take down, not because it's old, but they're trying to talk about how he wants to take it out as a negative way to betray the president. matthew: so you think there's a negative portrayal of the president? it seems like this article is pinning blame on melania trump. >> that's why people would read it. matthew: what about the language before jackson magnolia? >> so called. matthew: so called. this is the "new york post." regardless of your politics, you can see how the stories have

of the seven years' war, but we're talking about this washington, washington as he is residing his command and exiting the revolutionary war. this is the beginning of a national story. it is this moment in december of 1783 that washington is permanently retiring from office, but over the course of that year, he devotes a great deal of energy to thinking about the future of the nation. on october 12, 1783, he writes a pair of letters to french correspondents with whom he had served in the revolutionary war and became good friends. he describes the western lands in his hope to explore the western country and to traverse lines that had given bounds to a new empire. in 1783, as he's looking toward peace, he is thinking about the west. he writes to lafayette that same day, lafayette had invited him to visit. washington response that he would rather travel the new american empire. and he describes the new empire and his hopes to travel from detroit down the mississippi up the carolinas to witness the bounds of this world. his thoughts were that these lands that were claimed in coming out of the

in washington d.c. in the jury trial the jury agreed and awarded ash his freedom a month later, and bell wins her freedom suit. james ash has won his freedom suit on the basis of the will. and bell wins her freedom suit on the basis of having lived for ten years as a free woman. she did not even get to deal with the will. she was also involved with the will, but she made her case on having lived for ten years as a free woman in washington d.c.. in fact, the judges instructed the jury, think about this, and bell had purchased property in the city. she had bought property. she had built a house. she had made contracts. chinese decision and dread scott should be ringing in your head. she bought property in the city, built a house, made contracts, and unbelievably, she had even hired enslaved persons from the green field. so she had a contract with the green fields. can an enslaved person make contracts? this is of course, the issue and the judges say, that these acts are quote, inconsistent with the condit

ok let's go back to brian in washington. i think the real problem here is i was a trained historian and i love history and i still do it to study history to this day the big problem we face here in understanding and dealing with grappling with the multipolar world which we do have in respect of the denial of the blob and the media is that it's american exceptionalism is the biggest problem here because american exceptionalism automatically delegitimizes any kind of challenge ok i'll keep it very neutral ok because if you look at great britain i mean at one point it covered one 4th of the world's population and land ok and it for the most part gracefully more more or less relinquish that because it was in its interests to do that but it didn't have this exceptionalism in the way it does in the united states is that that's really the biggest barrier it's more of a psychological barrier and that's because of exceptionalism they're blinded to geo political facts and i want to talk about actually a multipolar world is best for ev

even washington has to sign some of these. he does not seem to think it is a big problem sending property back. throughout the war african-americans in arms captured could be summarily executed on the spot. more often than not they are sold into slavery somewhere else. sold into the west indies. put on ships. privateer vessels. there is a salt and lead mine in western pennsylvania where they sent black loyalists, virginia does to work there. it is even more horrific than for the white british soldiers. >> [indiscernible] >> yeah, it's a real problem. the reason washington does not want to touch it is if you are born of the states, you are considered a citizen of that state after july 4, 1776. if you are caught in arms against that state, that is insurrection and treason. it is punishable by death. washington cannot override the treason laws of the individual states. that is what he does not want to touch that whatsoever because he doesn't have the power to do that effectively. he is constrained. in reality, most loyalist priso

opens with the name washington and it was very fitting that the city of washington was called washington, it was george washington who had chosen the spot in potomic river and george washington who spent a good year of his presidency overseeing the construction by the city and didn't call it starting calling it washington himself until tend of presidency. but i think he hoped that the city could do what he no longer could which is put together feuding factions and today there's irony, the fact that george washington during the prime of his life really was the man who most americans said was the force who held together america and when you look at the city of washington so often i think it's almost anonymous. actually a story of the beginning of a city of washington. >> all of us on the back of the blurbing away on how great the book is. how does learning this history change your view of him overall and what lessons should our presidents today draw from his last years? >> well, i think actually, you might say seeing george washington struggle in retirement. does it make you think less of

that's where we see washington. the other great sports he was a part up at his age was fox hunting, and fox hunting was imported from great britain. and lived in the shadow valley that looked next door to him just kept towns until the 17 nineties. these are the sports that we know washington was a part. of >> >> with just under half an hour left from george washington's historic mt. vernon, we're joined by douglas bradburn on this presidents'day, though known as washington's birthday officially in u.s. code. washington's birthday is actually february 22nd. so what should we be celebrating today? >> well, i think that the federal code is it's a national holiday and it's called washington's birthday observed. i think we should be celebrating george washington's birthday. it doesn't hurt to celebrate it again on the 22nd.but i do think that presidents'day itself is sort of an effort to create a national holiday around george washington and lincoln's birthdays, which are close together. i don't know if i care for a holi

washington is much the same. he did not wear multiple masks that he so carefully cultivated the firm face of republican virtue that he once famously cautioned the great partridges hilbert stewart who drew the painting that is on your one dollar bill quote, my countenance never yet betrayed my feelings. this aspect of washington's personality can make it difficult to see behind his public image. as it is to look beyond franklin's multiple guises. the pennsylvania printer and the virginia painter appeared to december the summer to making a lasting friendship, especially since the former pose as a man above the people and the latter as one above them. yet focusing on their distinct public images, obscures their fundamental similarities. hard-working and entrepreneurial, franklin and washington had successful business careers outside government and never viewed themselves primarily as politicians. both prospered as colonists and supported royal rule until realizing that britain would never extend basic english rights

it is probably not a good time to be driving across the state of washington. it is time to hunker down closer to our neighborhoods. due to the urgency in this effort, we are fighting the same pandemic in every corner of our state, but it is being solved in different ways. i've heard questions from some in thets and communities state that have been hit first in this virus. something that action may not be necessary outside of those counties, but the unfortunate reality is that today, this virus is spreading across the entire state of washington. its method of transmission is simple. it is person-to-person. whatever we are seeing in could be seen elsewhere --, so it is clear that all of us need to bend our shoulders to this task to save the entire state of washington. virus's devastation in some parts of our state is what we are trying to halt and the rest of the state, so it is crucial that each and every one of us maintain the social distancing that we know is our only weapon against this scourge. -- we areling the only in the first two weeks, and this order m

washington. he believes there's the personal man and the public man. those people who had the personal relationship would not display that personal relationship in public. the private man had a public persona. -- stay outside of arms reach. at this is a george washington who enjoyed playing cards, he enjoyed cockfight's, horse races. this is the george washington who loved to dance. it was reported he was the best dancer in all of virginia. this was the washington who loved to hunt and fish. he loved going to the theater. his favorite play was tragedy of--and if you know anything about it, it's a story about a young selfless patriot who sacrifices himself to the greater patriot cause, maybe because washington felt he was that guy. he also liked hamlet, julius caesar, and this was the washington who had an eye for attractive women. she was considered an attractive woman at the time. not only was she and attract of woman, she was the widow of a gentleman and she was very wealthy. so george will end

"washington's end". joining him, he now serves with the professor of public policy usc, a program with mount vernon has long and fruitful relationship. and he served for over 37 years in the u.s. military and as a dedicated life of public service. please welcome jonathan horn and general david. [applause]. jonathan: thank you for the kind introduction. and thank you so much for your leadership at the washington library. thanks to all of you for being here. we were told that this was a sellout. we were not sure whether this would truly be a sellout in the end, the bold intrepid souls are all here with us tonight. not risking handshakes i'm sure but. [laughter]. what will be much more enjoyable evening singing home and calculating how much you lost the start market today. [laughter]. the most important is that i'm an apartment one of the worlds investment firms so i too would be sitting at home, tonight calculating my losses. and congratulations on the great book. it's going to be a delight but i want to s

her sister had married george steptoe washington, a nephew of george washington. this is still in the family home in west virginia. they go back and live in philadelphia. it is a lovely set of charcoal portraits by james sharples. dolley is still in her quaker bonnet. where they live on spruce street in philadelphia also still stands. they live in philadelphia full-time even though he is in congress. when john adams becomes president in 1797, madison does not like john adams and does not want to be part of the administration. i should add, they come home to montpelier. i should have said that in their townhouse in philadelphia, they have a lot of french furnishings that have been sent to them by james monroe who at this time in the mid-1790's is the american ambassador to paris. they have things like this very fashionable french form of bed. a lot of french decorative art in their home. they move home to montpelier with madison's parents. when we last saw millie and james senior, they are living in the rectangular georgian brickhouse, one of only two brick houses

the senator from washington. mrs. murray: mr. president, i do appreciate the fact that the senator from tennessee has been a great partner with me on many issues. i will keep talking to him about this. let me just say this. without doing this, the cost to businesses is going to grow exponentially. we have already seen it on wall street. we are seeing it in our communities, because people are not getting paid, they are coming to work, they are spreading this virus, and we are seeing the impact and we'll continue to see it in our communities as fewer people go to their stores or fewer people go to their businesses. so we either do this now or we're going to continue to pay for it in the future. i'm sorry it's been objected to today because i think it's such a critical step in this public health crisis that we're having today. we need to get this done. thank you, mr. president. mr. brown: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from ohio. mr. brown: i would add i watched up close and from afar senator alexander and senator

in terms of washington's life. but seems to be a very big part of his life and something he was very invested in. >> they really married to this narrative that he had no biological children, our conception of children has really changed over time. it wasn't uncommon to marry a woman who had children. that was a really good sign that she could have more. it was so strange to me we spent so much time because it doesn't further the understanding to talk about 10 pages of what he couldn't have children. instead what it would look about the fact that he was lousy with children. they were everywhere and always going giving people problems. that's what the archives tell us he wrote so many letters finding a better tutor giving unsolicited love advice and that was a part of his worldview. that's what he saw every day. you don't read those letters and think, he's not really interested in this. he so angry and it's not like there just like us but when he lectures his grandson he doesn't say step grandson, we say step grandso

polo world i'm joined by my guest james detritus in washington is a former u.s. diplomat and former advisor to the u.s. senate republican leadership also in washington brian becker he is the director of the answer coalition as well as host of loud and clear daily new show on radio spoken gentleman cross talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate james let me go to you 1st i'm the reason i want to do this program at the end of the year is because we tend to look at events in a micro fashion you know what's going on in this country that country trump administration brags that you know which of course we do in the news media but i sometimes think that we love we miss the very big very big pictures of what's going on and the major changes that are happening around the globe and and the international system and this whole idea of multipolar world which is kind of foreboding to talk about in western media because by default it means the west loses something and somebody else gains something is that one of the reasons they d

writes,so that he washington's remarks to congress at the beginning of the sitting reply back toss' washington and that he writes the answer back to that. he has also -- he is almost being the brain to washington in addition to being his own brain. what is important to remember is these men are literally making it up. they are making up a new way of existing in this new nation. i love this quote madison rights to jefferson. we are in a wilderness without a single footstep to guide us. our successors will have an easier task. wilderness is wonderful. they are literally making up how the government is going to work, how it is going to be. in so many ways, we are still beholden to the thinking james madison is doing to how the government is going to work. washington has many other brilliant people around him including hamilton and jefferson in addition to madison. hamilton and jefferson are in the cabinet. madison is not. he is upholding washington's wishes in the congress. in 1790, and this is the deal -- they make the deal to move the capital to philadelphia for 10 years and then eventually to

my background in washington was mostly businessman. the reality is that we need to take a bit of time to see what happens in the economy, what gaps are there. i am concerned about some of the community banks and the impact it has on their viability. rural communities, like in mind, that is one thing to pay attention to. i think there will be others that will continue to have problems. maybe change some of the small business programs we have in place to allow for more time for them to come back on their feet. we are guessing as to when the economy can come back to life. let's not guess with more money and just hope that it works. host: last year you announce that you wouldn't be running again for congress. you said at the time that you were tired of the rhetoric and the vitriolic in washington. has this crisis tamped that down? guest: we had a rough ten-day seer here, unfortunately. the governor and the administration decided to trade political barbs. conversations with people saying guys, we have a job to do. it's not about who we can

post" about what happens here in washington dc. to a second slideshow in this one will run itself. you will see some images as we talk through. so today what i would like to do is focus on three areas of research that i describe in the book and how treatments of influenza had default one - - evolved. and what do we do today? and you will find actually it has changed less than you have thought and how the understanding of the influenza virus has changed over the last century. what was it that caused influenza and what do we know about that same virus today. so that was a remarkable evolution to understand exactly what was going on. and then how we can prevent ourselves from catching the flu in the first place and where we are today there still a lot of work to do. the treatments were not effective mercury, tree bark and inhaling factory gases. south bend of england th would take their families and their children to the munition factories were the toxic fumes were thought to reduce the likelihood of influenza actually is not as crazy

but, black washington. that is one of the reasons why wilson's behavior with the administrator was so unsettling to the population in d.c. the black population. because he was a place far from perfect, but a place where blacks had potential. now, within black washington was interracial -- tension that also ran along class lines. but there was a sense of possibility in black washington you did not see in other places. so, when this resegregation order came in, that was a shock to a system. we are not talking about thousands of people. but the symbolic importance of washington in general is just, you know, is massive. within black washington, not just in wilson's time but through fdr's and the creation of became known as the black cabinet, to elevate a handful overly prominent people like ralph bunch, they became national figureheads. -- figureheads of possibility. so, when we talk about the challenge of the legacy of wilson's segregation order, we are talking about more than anything else, the symbolic damag

host: governor greg whitmer in the column in the "washington post," her ask of washington ofn it comes to the needs among things she's asking for reinforcing healthcare system, shoring up state budget and allowing flexibility for spending aid. on that point, she writes in a evolving public health, governors need more flexibility to quickly adapt at circumstances change as demand for resources shift. saying that's why we asked the treasury secretary thousand governors broad discretion how federal coronavirus relief funds. is that something you support? passed athink congress bill, it will be pretty flexible and clear guidelines. be adhere to. if there are changes made, we'll make it. todon't allocate money states to state do figure out with.hey will do we've done pretty good job with that cares act. $2 trillion legislation. the largest disaster assistance package ever in the history of nation. shoring up health system is appropriate. we have to remember, reality is strategic national stockpile was designed to deal with a or pandemic.saster we have failed to restock it the h1n1 and swine
