washington has a fight both washington had tempers. part of legendary stoicism and can be contributed to lifelong effort should say to control his temper and present himself so hamilton comes out and jefferson wrote he never seen hamilton so dejected is going to move quickly. invites hamilton to dinner at the next night he's going to get him while they have a rift he bites his right-hand man madison with the great intellects. they have to resolve a couple of prescient issues just to among them. one to be the location of the capitol. the other will be the question of the debt as they called it federal debt assumption. so where should the b-uppercase-letter? no hamilton was it in the north and at one point new york. jefferson is southerners one in the south. star near nonnegotiable previous south could walk. more and their beloved virginia leaving adams and others to joke only in virginia are all geese swans, right? to jefferson and madison surprised it seems that, no we don't have a lot of sources for this, we have secondary sources. je

morgan chase have been chasing washington mutual. they had been wanting to by washington mutual. basically that does not end up happening but has a lot to do with the fact that the fed was giving them that opportunity is that what you're claiming? >> i'm going to circle back to answer that. only slide is up just so people can take a look these are the residential loan originations that were done by the major banks in the company. you'll notice the heavy blue chart are the originations of washington mutual. mckay we cut that every year. increasing residential lending leading up that is false. we cut it by 74% reduced our market share in half. others did not have a new or nearly kind of decrease we did. those were coming in 2007. >> every year. >> in 2003 kerry first started being startled by how fast the mortgage market was growing. you'll notice 2003 he cut all mortgage lending and half. then continue to cut it to the total between 20,032,007 down 74%. so by 2007 we are doing substantially less lending less mortgage lending than any of the other large banks. okay thank you. can w

of washington's entry into tran10. for variety of reasons you will notice if you squint at that thing it is primarily almost entirely women and girls, these are the women of tran10 and their daughters who have been ready for this moment for weeks, they have been getting together their outfits and songs there rehearsing the songs with the flower and garland and someone but there's also the equivalent and placards to the effect that saved us the first time, the battle of tran10 in you save the women in the daughters of tran10 and now the returning the favor, i think they cross that bridge a little bridge in tran10 but it's a big bridge in the imagination. i don't know if national is the right word just yet but almost that is a big bridge a lot depended on that thing. washington then as you see raises his hat and he crosses the bridge and he delivers a few words to the mothers and daughters of tran10 and needless to say surrounding all of this is music and someone now he's on his way to elizabethtown and then eventually o

they experienced in washington. minor hope to provide the kind of education that positioned the girls to articulate claims to equality in the capital. making an education accessible to black girls stirred social and political anxieties among white locals with the future of the country concerned with the future of the country regarding the school for black girls the mayor of washington pleaded that quote. we cannot tolerate an influence in our midst which will not only constantly disturb the repose and prosperity of our own community and of the country, but may even read asunder the union itself and quote. he appealed to the local government to wield their influence to undermine the work of minor school linux employed that quote such a protest it is the duty of our corporate authorities to make its beneficient effect may be to persuade the supporters of this scheme to abandon its further prosecution and quote. linux claimed that minor and her students left white residents. no choice warning that quote. the responsibi

washington's army was defeated. the marylanders who i drew a book called washington's immortals had bought us an hour more precious in our history than any other where washington with a rearguard action washington's army was able to retreat into fortifications at brooklyn heights. the british army which had surrounded the american army there was about to come up with the east river and also siege lines were creeping forward. it was a perilous time. it was a time in our history when all could be lost. washington had a decision to make. was he going to retreat or fight and washington decided to retreat. this is the time when all could be lost. the entire army could be surrounded and destroyed and everything rested upon the shoulders of the men in the book that i've written about, the marblehead men. washington decided to retreat and he had to cross a mile long river, the east river and this is -- let me take you back in time to august 30 . there had been a massive nor'easter that had pelted both armies for two days st

the washington. merry grant promoted wells' career, and he provided information and also confirmed news that a pearson had picked up elsewhere. the trouble was that the column grew so favorable to wells the secretary hull began to blame him for all of the leaks and eventually had him fired. in fact drew pearson had plenty of sources within the state department. one was the director of the state department's office of special political affairs alger hiss. indeed when his's colleagues worried about him leaking. it was not to the soviet union but to drew pearson. some of pearson's columns clearly originated in classified us military information about the british actions. several departments received copies of those reports and hisses was one of them. hiss always denied being the source but investigators observed that pearson's legmen were regularly visiting. his's office now leg men were squad of younger reporters that pearson hired to go out and patrol the halls of government to sweep up any kind of ne

so in my book i start with the influence of washington on lincoln washington's character his piety and his indispensable role as a conceiver establisher and defender of american self-government. but for lincoln more important than a founding man was a founding document and that was the declaration of independence. on the way to his first inauguration as president lincoln said i have never had a feeling politically that did not spring from the sentiments embodyed in the declaration of independence. so in chapter 2 of my book, i explore how lincoln was shaped by key principles of the declaration and its chief draftsman thomas jefferson. if the declaration spells out the purpose or aim of the american regime chapter 3 of my book focuses on the means of american self-government, and these are found in the united states constitution. i examine why lincoln preached a reverence for the constitution and laws as well as the more perfect union of american states that the constitution established. of course, you can't read the declaration and then the constitution and not notice a few provisions

thomas paine after the war in the 1790s wrote a pamphlet attacking washington but argued that washington slept in the field as he put it and the real winners of the war were generals horatio gates and nathaniel green. washington was generally enacted during much of that time in the clinton was far more active and i think that the most devastating thing, the most devastating attack or appraisal came about almost 75 years ago but was still read by scholars today and many still accepted that it was a study made by clinton's biographer in conjunction with a clinical psychologist. but that they had a deep subliminal psychological problems that prevented him from acting on the power that he had and frankly i think the argument is malarkey not that i am a particular photo of the history but they were obviously unable to put clinton on the couch it would have opened up a window to so i think clinton's reputation suffered from that. [inaudible] i closed the door so mine can to get in the room but anyway, i think that study should be filed away. he certainly made mistakes. i recognized that in the

washington, d.c.'s delegate to the house of u.s. representatives, congresswoman eleanor holmes norton and former senator and former chairman of this committee, joe lieberman. i appreciate your attendance here today and i just want to recognize your incredible leadership on this issue over many years. it's wonderful to have you here before the committee. for decades, you both have served us strong advocates in the conversation to give d.c. residents an equal voice. and for the first time in nearly seven years, this committee will continue that discussion in here from the mayor, policy, legal and civil rights experts on how those lawmakers can finally, finally give d.c. residents the same representation in congress as their fellow americans. the lack of representation for the residents of the cities, which serves as a beacon of freedom and democracy around the world, is a stunning contradiction. since 70 -- 1791 president washington signed into law the permanent governance act, dede -- d.c. is our natio

washington of course we know washington is gone. that's a thing if anyone watched hamilton can understand once washington is gone the great beginner of the country, somebody has to take over. all these people do want to take over. they are pretty smart people adams, jefferson and all. they need somebody like marshall. if it wasn't would have to be someone else. >> as you said part of what you're doing in your book is explorations of american history. i did lead the opening introduction you talk about your father drag new to all the different places when you are kid. as a graduate of the virginia i have to ask and have a question about humanities here in a second but would you mind on the story about the time your father essentially browbeat an ark must at the collection when they pulled out jefferson's will? >> anyone who's a friend of mine and knew my father would of course believe he would do this. he was a small chance smart man who was a lawyer and a municipal judge for long time. but he was a big history buff. so in 1961 was a

biden: welcome to washington, d.c. since the early 1800s the city has been the capital of the united states. it is where the federal government does its work, and where students just like you to come to see historic monuments, museums and parks. this year we are bringing washington, d.c. and some of it special places to you. one of those special places is where i am right now, the white house. i am standing at the north front door and here is fun fact, did you know that there is no backdoor to the white house? so whenever you walk in, whether it is from the north, south, east, or west doors, you are always walking in the front. we have a lot more fun facts in store for you during this discovery education virtual field trip. so that you and other students can go behind the scenes and learn more about our capital city, the city of us. ♪ what do you think about when you picture washington, d.c.? how about the president of the united states? >> congress and the supreme court? >> how about the monuments, famous americans?

there was a time that marshall came with washington to now burning, washington who wanted him to run for congress and marshall saw the proposition, he was a federalist in a republican area but still tried to escape, washington knew he washe tryingo leave and said i'm sorry you are doing this, you are running. it was not that unusual being friends with washington, when washington died, they write the first f biography of washington. >> let's talk about that because we have some screen o shots from the first volume of that biography in the collection at the washington library, the portrait ofsh washington, what s marshall's intent? what does he hope to accomplish by writing this? >> the thing is, marshall gave the eulogy for washington and philadelphia and we forget it took several days for the news of washington'she death to get o marshall and philadelphia. it didn't come up there, there wasn't anything and so the writer obviously had to switch horses, get cbs out, i don't think they had gps. anyway. [laughter] but anyway, he doesn't want to write the w biography, he figurd marshall c

host: emily, one of your beats is the influence of tech in washington. how has it changed over the last years? emily: it is interesting because if you look at the numbers, basically, these companies often break their own records of how much money they are spending in washington. every year, it dials up a little bit more, they choose their outside lobbying firm, but it really poses this existential question to washington, does lobbying even work, because even as they spend more and more, even as they dole out told in -- dole out tons of money, begging for regulation, they are still under fire more than ever on capitol hill, and still their executives are being pulled up there, so i think there is this interesting dynamic playing out where there are probably more facebook lobbyists then ever, and fewer lawmakers to meet with them. host: are conservatives being unfairly targeted when it comes to social media? >> conservatives would certainly say that and the evidence -- there is not a lot of evidence to prove that that is what is going on. all of the compan

washington, you know george washington was a founder of you know, one of our founding fathers. and once we all understand history our our nation was founded by by flawed men. we have that flawed. caucasian men who were landowners, but that shouldn't take away from what america has become and the ideal america that we aspire to to be so i i would not remove george washington's name. robert e. lee was a traitor robert e. lee rebelled against our nation robert e. lee fought against the united states army an army that he had taken an oath to to serve or the constitution to serve. so there is a stark difference between the two on that and you know, i've always believed that that even with our nation's flaws. america is worth serving. that's why i serve for 34 years time for 36 years. and america to so much of the world. is this beacon of hope? and we're not perfect in any way, but we have an ideal that we were aspiring to be and that is a better america. i'll say every day every week. so i hope that we can bridge. that the gaps we have right now this racial divide in our country tha

around the relationship have changed because any gantz is in washington. but on the other hand, may 17, the fourth war in over three years, is headed towards being at its peak in the biden administration signs off on arms deals worth $735 million worth of precision-guided weapons. that was either bad timing, bad luck or just stupid. >> basically, there were more members of congress this time, including two jewish senators, who were opposed to that $735 million deal. biden has gone a with it. but the -- gone ahead with it. but the relationship between the u.s. and israel has become a more normal relationship. our main goal was making sure the israelis were not overthrown him as happened in 1967 and 1973. israel has become a more significant power. they are as powerful as any country in the region. i don't think any of the countries could beat them militarily, as they tried in 1967 and 1973. so we are going to have good moments, we are going to have these bad moments. we are not going to agree on everything. as you mentioned, we give them $4 billion a year i

obviously we want to get back to george washington. and i think this is one of the most striking point that you have made, which is the american constitutional development of conversation is not just entirely within our own forces, it's also the impact, over and over again, made by the world. so talk to us more about that. what is our position in the world have to do with thoughts about how we govern ourselves? we are protected by oceans. >> we are, if we join together, if we don't, we're going to have 10 borders between south carolina, north carolina, georgia and georgia and maryland and pennsylvania, the mason-dixon line and so on and so forth and so the genius of this and eventually washington and hamilton, the atlantic ocean will be an amazing moat that will protect us if only reunite, the way that you can actually help lay off against each other in divide and conquer in that fashion, we have the policy for the west, making it an american domain international domain and not just virginia's backyard or pennsylvania's territory or co

. >>> washington, d.c. mayor muirial bowser testified about legislation that would admit the district of columbia as the 51st state. she noted that d.c. residents pay federal income taxes and serve in the military, but are not represented in congress, because d.c. is not a state. house, and former senator joe lieberman. >> the committee will come to order. senator tom carper will make the district bill of columbia our nations 51st state. >> the committee will come to order. i would like to say thank you to our witnesses introduced by my colleague to make the district of columbia the 51st street. chf this committee, joe lieberman. i appreciate your attendance here today and i just want to recognize your incredible leadership on this issue over many years. it's wonderful to have you here before the committee. for decades, you both have served us strong advocates in the conversation to give d.c. residents an equal voice. and for the first time in nearly seven years, this committee will continue that discussion

times -- morning in the washington times. "afghanistan's former president said the u.s. came to his country to fight extremism and bring stability to his nation and is leaving nearly 20 years later having failed at both. in an interview with the associated press just weeks before the last u.s. and nato troops leave afghanistan, ending their 'forever war,'hamid karzai said extremism is high and they are leaving behind a disaster. 'the international community came here with a clear objective 20 years ago of fighting extremism and bringing stability, but they failed,'he said. still, mr. karzai, who had a complicated relationship with the u.s. during his rule -- a soldier said they need responsibility for their own future. he said 'they will be better off without our presence. they need to look after their own lives. we don't want to continue with this misery and indignity we are facing. it is better for afghanistan that they leave.'" troy is next up in brownsville , pennsylvania. good morning. caller: good morning. in reference

but i think this very much depends on washington as well. if the wasn't the push direction, there were more directions or if you think it might not be interesting overall, you know this database system. i want to make a comment on someone that's interested in promoting hope. oh, we don't want to messages and b o y suits of our different people to be just what is the problem. i said that it's believing so just showing that shines in the background was a total failure many aspects and also against the backdrop of washington being preaching that it's all liberal gospel, do many developing countries and it fell. so i think the mostly afraid of that. and 2nd, i think what is also going to, you know, just trying to message that we are actually not interested promoting model. they just do this as a sort of a tool, something that you can use to basically almost ever regarding the g 7 regarding everything you want to do, they can come up and say, give it a try. i think mostly coming from the package that you will continue to emphasize is let me give

go ahead and washington. i think what we're seeing with donald trump is what we've seen a lot of popular politicians who really have hold of personality surrounding them. morocco, bama is a very good example of that. and even at the one like the policy doesn't matter as much as personality. i don't think that the republican party, i think people over over over to state where the republican party is. because keep in mind, we're barely 6 months into republicans not being out of power. so of course, we're going to be in a wilderness for bid, trying to find our way, but i don't think that the public in part itself is in any real danger. and obviously hardy will lean towards the titular head of the party. who has donald trump? a lot of people want to dismiss donald trump, any rate them, but you can't do that with the one who was the president of the actual party. well, it's are over the united states, but head of the party. well, that's going to georgia in bay route. i mean the, the, the critics of, of the republi

lawrence coban, washington. there are, there are so many sort of dichotomies in this relationship. surely one could argue and say, look, be optics around the relationship have changed because benny gans is eminently in washington on the one hand. but on the other hand, may the 17th this 4th war in just over 3 years is at its peak, or heading towards being at its peak. and the bite administration signs off on arms deals worth $735000000.00 worth of precision guided weapons. i mean, that was either bad timing, bad luck or just stupid. well basically there were more members of congress this time, including to jewel or senators, or opposed to that $735000000.00 deal bite and has gone ahead with it. but the relationship between the united states and israel's getting took quite a bit more normal relationship for the longest time. our main goal was to make sure that the israelis were not overthrown. busy as we happened in 67 and 773, but israel has become a much more. 7 significant power there is powerful as anybody in

go ahead in washington. i'm not really sure, republicans, i don't think that it's fair to actually just a few members of the party against what the party itself is actually doing. we know that double trumps up the oxygen out of any room that he's in. and obviously the party is trying to figure out how to operate with donald trump not being in power, but really not both in not just him, but his base as well. i'm fortunately, i'm happy that donald trump is not on social media. i think that that's actually a bit being not just for him, but the party as well. but there are a lot of things that are you doing around infrastructure around police reform. there's a lot of things that republicans are actually doing substance of work that's, that's a party of doing. but when you have to one like donald trump being able to issue appropriately. and he had his people at work or not even personally, he had to people out there to then send around emails from the death of donald trump. you know, just ridiculous things like t

i think the committee heard very compelling testimony on why washington, d.c. should be admit to the union as the 51st state. in my mind this shouldn't be viewed as a partisan issue in any way. this is about ensuring that more than 700,000 american citizens who call washington, d.c. home have an equal voice in this great democratic republic of ours. for far too long these americans have been denied our nation's most critical founding principle. the right to equal representation in government. we heard convincing testimony today that there are no constitutional obstacles to admitting washington, d.c., as a state. and the importance of passing senator carper's legislation here in the senate would right this long-standing wrong in our nation's history. once again i appreciate our speakers. i appreciate our witnesses for their input on this important issue. the record for this hearing will remain open for 15 days until july 7 at 5 p.m. for the submission of statements and questions for the record. and with that this hearing is -- senator carper: thanks to d.c. mich

while we are in the minority in washington, d.c. and the democrats are running the country, or they are not running their country and we really have no idea what they are doing, i don't think biden knows what he is doing, does he? nothing. let me tell you what's happening. ok. so, the democrats stole the election, right? so here's what we're up against. nancy pelosi wants to put their cheating ways into law by federalizing our elections. we are not going to allow that to happen. now biden has weaponized the doj, unbelievable. so he can go after trump supporters, while at the same time ignoring antifa blm domestic terrorists. does that make sense? >> no. rep. greene: do you guys think any of those riots we saw all year long were peaceful protests? no. they were domestic terrorists, burning our cities, attacking police officers, looting our stores, private businesses, killing people, and rampaging and terrorizing our country. but it is trump supporters of they are after. don't forget, they hate you because you love president trump. wh

washington, d.c. admission act which will finally assure residents have full presentation in governance they deserve and that our markedly was built on. our nation's most defining principle is that power is derived directly from the people. it is why we elect leaders to represent us in congress. every american should be entitled to the same representation in our democratic republic, no matter which part of our nation they live in. when the founders first established a permanent seat of government at the site along the potomac river, they could never have imagined it would become a large, vibrant, diverse city with more than 700,000 americans. while we may hear a number of questions raised about the issue today, i encourage all of my colleagues to stay focused on the core civil rights issue we have an opportunity to address. i look forward to hearing from our witnesses and having a discussion today and making the district of columbia our 51st state. >> thank you chairman peters. thank you for our witne

they were out and about in washington but most evenings. ronald reagan, he would take a lot of work home with him. it would be just the two of them. they would watch the news on tv trays and then he would you know, go and finish his work but he wanted nothing more than to just be home with nancy and if you read his diaries. it's like almost every entry is sort of suffused with references to her like well nancy's been been gone for 35 hours. it feels like a barn in here. in your book you speak of influences on mrs. reagan some conventional some unconventional people. she would talk with you mentioned james baker earlier who were some of the more unconventional influences on her thinking that were in their own way became very controversial. well most controversial of course is when it is revealed in the final year of his presidency that she has been relying on an astrologer. to to weigh in on when the president should make a trip or give a speech or schedule, you know all sorts of events. and this grows? in part first of all hollywood is kind

maribel washington before. i live on the middle peninsula of virginia. the vault family, her descendents are thick as thievesev down there. there's a lot of paperwork, a lot of history, a lot of history there. including, she died -- mary herself died in her 80s. she died of breast cancer. just a couple years ago a ball descendent woman who owned an antique store in the northern neck of the woodsds she too died of breast cancer. fold the genealogical trail of this 250 years inflict this woman as well. she had an anonymous influence on her son her entire life. ands i wanted to record, write this book about him but how he was influenced by her. she was a single mother raising six children in a century that was not re- hospitable to women. women could not vote what we don't know, few people know is women in that era could not even own property. unless there holding onto their property from a deceased husband for the son what she was doing, holding it for george washington. she was a strong and capable woman because

washington region. nothing is too big to fail is his latest book and the winter bronze medal and business book of the year. we have a discussion tonight pleased with me to welcome. >> thank you. we appreciate it very much. thank you for joining us for this virtual conversation i appreciate you joining us. the book is called nothing. too big to fail. what prompted you to write this book and why now? >>e and then this information that is taking place and then we started to know so in order not to have to repeat with the best job that we possibly can and with the 2008 financial crisis of what is going on in banking and society. so thenn we can learn from them and that's right but most of my efforts the government in the federal reserve makes the same mistake again so we don't have to do that again. and then to have the enormous amount of research and then she had any access to all correspondence and personal notes about really went on behind the scenes. she put years of research into what it was for genesi

did the miscalculations of the washington consensus? have anything to do with it is the china russia alliance made in america, the cross talking russia, china relations. i'm joined by my guess mentioned she yang in geneva. he is a professor of international history and politics at the graduate institute of international and my studies engineer. but in israel we have john gong. he is a professor at the university of international business and economics. and here in moscow were joined by alexander luke, and he is head of the department of international relations at the higher school of economics or a gentleman, cross talk roles and effects. that means it can jump in anytime you want. and i always appreciated when she is in geneva, let me go to you 1st year. i've been observing it for many, many years, the growing relationship closer, relationship that russia and china had. and it was, you know, a few years ago it was murmurings people mitten mentioned in western media. and now all of a sudden they're in panic mode is if this suddenly happ

that's very, very interesting is if the washington can manage russia. i mean, i, again, i, this is kind of this perception that they can snap their fingers when people are going to line up an order. i mean it, that time a is over. it's been over for a very long time here. daniel, they're coming. this is coming out of weakness, they don't really know what to do. i mean, how to manage russia in those domains. i have no idea what that supposed to mean. i do know it means a lot more defense spending. that is for sure. and the more and glenn's point, the more of this attempted management be controlling behavior. this is cold, war language is ridiculous. here the more russia is going to reluctant to turn to reliable partners i. e, china. so it's a self defeating exercise. go ahead, daniel. well, i think a fundamental see change occurred just a few weeks ago in alaska. and i don't think it's in digested completely, which is when tony blinking came in so sorry, sat down with the chinese delegation and started let lecturing them about the international rules bas

this house is also great museum of immigrant culture in washington and boarding house life in washington dc. i've been coming here for years making pilgrimages here. i started coming here in 1986 when i joined the reagan administration and i've been coming here for years and very excited that this year for the $150th anniversary. there's going to be a big commemoration for abraham lincoln because in past years, i'm usually here alone. no one comes to this house on the night of this assassination. no one comes to honor lincoln. i might find one or two people here when i sit on the steps of the petersen house and just contemplate what happened. it's interesting couple years ago the park service almost arrested me sitting on these steps because the guard across the street accused me of being a homeless lawyer and i tried to tell her i've written a book on this tonight's the anniversary this assassination i serve on the ford's theater society council advisors 10 minutes later two squad cars rolled up and the national park service police questioned me and they said how do we know? you're not
