you have this scene of him thinking in mount vernon towards the end when he is troubled. talk to us about that. what is he troubled about? >> guest: throughout three books about the revolution i kept wanting washington to have a high five moment where he said yes, i did it. it never comes. never gets that sense of satisfying accomplishments because always another catastrophe looming. for washington i said he was swinging for the fences when it comes to posterity. one of the things that bothered him more than anything was his involvement with slavery. it was a pernicious institution, this is a guy who became a slaveholder at age 11 when his father died. he had befriended lafayette, the idealistic frenchman, hoping to create a country of slavery i never would have lifted my sword in the cause of america. washington overheard, this was recorded in jefferson -- jefferson right to down saying at some point in his presidency if slavery should divide the country, i will go with the northern part. that is a statement from a virginian. there are 300 and enslaved people, half are o

in fact, that's what he wore during his pre-inaugural journey from vernon to new york. that's what he was wearing when he entered new york and he met the huge crowd. but when it came time for his inauguration, he realized that, you know, i am now the leader of a republic, i do not want to project a sense of, i am the dictator in waiting. i don't want to be accused of being a monarch. i want to be seen as one of the people. so washington, the great role player, realizes he needs to dress differently. and he was great with symbolism. and there was a new, very embryonic cloth manufacture, textile manufacturing and hartford. and he asks for them to send him some dark brown cloth out of which he creates the suit in which he will be inaugurated in. and it's as drab and nondescript as you can have. and i think it must have been a bit of a shock for people when he stepped out of the carriage in front of federal hall to be inaugurated, to see him suddenly, not as resplendent but golden it bullets on his so shoulders, but this drab suit that was, as washington admitted, not of th

first, let me talk to you about vernon baker and his importance. he was a member of the all-black u.s. 92nd infantry division, and elements of this division served with great distinction. they captured many towns throughout italy during one of the most crucial campaigns of the fighting and also destroying enemy resistance all along the way. the unit suffered near three 300 casualties, including over 220 men wounded and nearly 70 who were killed in action. however, the 92nd also earned the respect of senior army leaders with seven men distinguishing themselves on the field of battle and earning the silver star for gallantry in action. during the spring of 1945 produced two future medal of honor recipients. however, when the germans regrouped and stymied the allied advance towards rome, the 92nd's actions drew harsh criticism from its senior officers until recently, nevertheless the men of the division were showered with praise and accolades that included over three distinguished service crosses, 16 legion of merit medals and over 145 stars. for his

vernon jones in the 10th congressional district that is a solid red district. it's currently represented by jodie heiss running for secretary of state and members of the freedom caucus behind a different candidate in the race and they're going to be at odds with trump and i'm told a lot of members are not happy about the idea of vernon jones getting in with a trump endorsement but we'll see whether the trump backing here really shakes up the race, it's a crowded field, as i mentioned. >> so understandably now, republican leaders are scrambling trying to find some way to deal with the infighting. that's understandable. what's a bit puzzling is the example they're turning to help alleviate some of that, and the football team, the new england patriots. what more are you learning? >> reporter: that's right. i'm told house minority leader kevin mccarthy played a video clip this morning during the conference meeting that showed a super bowl game for 20 years ago where the rams were introduced individually on the field versus the patriots who were introduced as a team

the responded in the question was this individual, vernon baker. baker had just begun to settle into a life as a retired army officer, and was looking forward to spending his years hunting out in the nearby forest. but baker was more perplexed by the question that the voice posed on the other end, and that is, where can we beat you next month? yet you have to remember what baker at this particular moment in his life he, remembered a decade earlier that [inaudible] magazine in american society was asking the question, where is vernon baker? well, somebody responded into this magazine, saying he was dead and he was very perplexed by that. he was still very much alive. but first, let me talk to you about vernon baker and his importance. baker was a member of the all-black u.s. 92nd infantry division. this wasn't a unit that saw fierce action in italy in 1945. elements of this division served with great distinction. the captured many towns throughout italy during one of the most crucial campaigns of the fighting and also destroying any resistance all a

mount vernon, george washington's home, is in alexandria very close to washington, d.c. it was not a far trip. but i thought it was really important, as much as i could, to get to these places where the presidents were shaped, because i think part of their life is such an important part of understanding who they were as men. as we tried to explore their legacy places like mount vernon and monticello, jefferson's estate, they are really wrestling with how to tell the stories of legacy. how much do they focus on george washington as the father of the country? and how much do they focus on the fact he had enslaved people throughout his lifetime? although he did free them in his will. i thought going to a place like mount vernon was important in order to get a fuller picture of who these men were, and also to talk with people. talk with historians, talk with the curators of their museums and libraries, to get a sense of what we are still wrestling with today when we try to tell stories about these figures. host: let's go to liz in westport, connecticut. good morning. caller:

the washington correspondence during the presidential years almost half of it had to do with mount vernon. all of the views of the presidency are shaped by a more 20th century conception of the significance. washington didn't regard the presidency is the capstone of his career. it was an epilogue, one he wished he didn't have to do. the great thing he did is when the war. i think that is true of all four of the presidents. adams great thing is before the revolution to bring it into meaning. jeffersons was the declaration. madisons was the constitution, the federalist papers. so all of them didn't think about the presidency is the great moment in their lives. and washington was an aficionado of exits. refusing to become dictator and then months later in baltimore where the capital was annapolis ofexcuse me, the surrender of te commission. when he did that, george the third hean said it can't be. if he does that he would be the greatest man in the world, so he did. what they were thinking and jefferson writes about this right afterwards i think jefferson wrote some of the speech in annapoli
