it was john jay,--gilbert stuart's reason for coming to washington was to paint washington. it was john jay who made that possible for him. it was john stewart's purpose to come to america to paint george washington. before going to washington, let's go into the next gallery. before painting washington, stuart spent 1.5 years in new york and painted many portraits while he was there and we are lucky enough to have probably eight of them. he painted a whole series of portraits for a family. two of them are hanging right here, this is one. and this is richard. stuart at his most amazing. catherine was married to richard who hangs on the other side of the doorway over there. he was a boston -- he had an importing company, so they were import/exporters. they took to the west indies. flour, things like that. they transported to the west indies and brought back molasses and rum and sugar and all kinds of things from the west indies. he had a very flourishing import-export business which i'm not quite sure what happened with the war, and he eventually, her husband, did end up fight

a birthday cake for george washington. and as you might, as you might not be surprised, people weren't very happy about the fact that they were going to write a book about how happy these people were to be enslaved and baking a birthday cake for george washington. when i heard about this i'm like, wait a minute, i know that name. the person that the book was going to be about was a slave named hercules. hercules was one of these white house slaves that i write about. and i want to read you a little bit about him because, as you can see from the reading, hercules wasn't very happy to be a slave. now, to set this up, george washington never actually lived inside the white house. he lived in executive mansions in both and philadelphia. and this, at this time period george washington is getting ready to end his second term as president, and he's getting -- and hercules is with him in the executive mansion, in the president's house which is actually still there in philadelphia. so i'll pick up there. hercules was a clear favori

and washington made it clear that his slaves, washington's slaves would be freed. most of the slaves at mount vernon were owned by martha and brought to the marriage from her form a union pestis family. martha was not at all happy. she did not and that was a good idea. there is some evidence that she was grabbed the anguish she had not done. they treated her days later, but i cannot comment knowledgeably. >> professor breen, i have one year wonderful book. i don't remember you covering that is god for a significant period of time on these trips and while the pace of government through this today, did anything go wrong or did anything happen that he had to fix? it is a question that i've thought about that that raises a very difficult issue of constitutional law that to my knowledge no one has really thought about. when washington not done as long tour to the south, the major figures in the government for his cabinet were hamilton and jefferson. and so he told these men look, i'm going to go away. if anything, you know, comes a comment a little crisis. when i come b

this is a bookplate washington ordered from england. it is engraved in london. 1771,s it as early as immediately before the revolution. through his presidency, they have the washington coat of arms with his name and motto embellished on them and he puts them in the inside cover, just like he does here with the acts of congress. this volume was probably pretty special to him because it has both his engraved bookplate, his signature on the title page, but what is more distinctive is that washington makes notes in the margin. we almost never see washington writing any marginalia. there are founding fathers known for their scribbles in the founding documents. as they tinker with the documents or put their comments on what they think should be the founding principles, george washington does not do that. is he rising above that level of commentary are trying to preserve the pristine pages of these wonderful and expensive volumes. we don't know, but this particular volume gives us extraordinary insight into washington because in several places

if if washington's washington's that i walk on untrodden ground come everything he did was a new precedent in the government of us and he realized by she realized by taking a chirp to places like charleston, savanna boston, salem portsmouth, to all the cities in between, that he was by his very person bringing a greater sense of emotional bonding to the country. we might call it patriotism, maybe we would call it nationalism but he was giving a sense to this larger republic and i also found what you would see when you look at my book and that is washington was a master of political theater in a way that surprised me as an author. he understood how to make the right moves and the right gesture. that's what all politicians do but he was a master. let me give you an example. he had a really extraordinary coach and as he went around the country it was a smaller baggage wagon which there were staff and when he got to an area outside of town he would put on his legality of -- as the man of the continental revolution and then he would get on a special light horse charger and ride into town. can y

washington's birthday. i took it as a good sign that it would be a good day. >> we do not know if he ordered the binding or if it was ordered for him by someone else. is a copy with a similar layout and binding in a private collection. andas jefferson had a copy this is 1-3. the only one that belonged to washington himself. binding.ior is a fine >> he had a lot to do with the adoption of the constitution and it is a constitutional they went behind the scenes to make sure it was ratified by the states. pieces of0 legislation. .t seemed very important it created the department of state, treasury, establish the judiciary, formulated the government based on a constitution. .> the estimate was across did you start to get nervous? >> we knew that the reserve was low and it was written by bush $2.3nd it sold for war million. we knew the entrance test interest was low and we actually decided what it may go for and decided to go up to the point and we were not surprised.

washington, d.c. every week "eye on washington" takes you straight to capitol hill for a discussion with nevada's delegation and other leaders about the federal matters that matter to you. today's topic, back on top. nevada sadly reclaims its worst in the nation ranking for foreclosure filings. my special guest here today to talk about it is mr. ethan handelman, the vice president for policy and advocacy for the national housing conference. thanks for being here again. >> thanks for having me. >> appreciate it. well, the nhc is the washington, d.c.-based organization that advocates for policy and legislation focusing on housing concerns, a lot of stuff of which we will be talking about today. just over a year ago, things were looking so much better. but today on "eye on washington," we're going to give you some bad news regarding foreclosures from realty trac. of our nevada veterans are homeless today. and we'll find out what my guest says must be done in congress to help make housing more affordable

he like this dress for pennsbury i think washington -- by the way, i fall in love with george washington. that in some ways not easy to do. i think he's really very, very important. we always, and i've fallen in love, everybody is in love with lincoln, washington always seems somewhat more austere and distant figure. and, indeed, he shows up at any thinking. but look where his right hand and arm rests on the shoulder of young george washington custis, known to the family as washy. george washington custis come if you look down here you'll see that he has a compass in his hand and his hand is resting on the globe of the world. and surely we've got to see that george washington custis is the future of the country. didn't exactly work out that way for george washington custis, some of you might know, but that doesn't matter. this is democracy coming down through washington, through george washington custis, and spreading across the world. and on this side of course we have martha washington and john eleanor our nellie custis and martha washington of course has her hand on what is so importa

here in washington, d.c. interestingly, gracie's sister actually worked inside the white house as well but as a free woman. she wanted her sister to work in the white house as well and she recommended to andrew jackson that he go purchase her and he did. gracie bradley turned out to be -- he bought her is like a cook, but it turns out that gracie bradley and sub the the best that gracie- bradley ends up being the best seamstress that anyone had seen in that area and she became the master seamstress in the hermitage in tennessee. she ended up living out her whole life with the jackson family because her sister wanted her closer to her in the white house. other presidents, like john tyler did not want people to know that they were buying slaves. when you get to tyler, you are getting closer and closer to the civil war. they did not want people to know what they were doing. tyler would go out and hire a middleman who would go out and buy slaves and then transfer the slaves to tyler. tyler was so adamant that no

he is buried in washington. but wilson of course, did extraordinary damage to the city of washington by allowing these racially vince to occur. island set almost entirely responsible i wrote about this recently for a the 1918 riot peach says there was so rich blood and in cities across this of yen but to follow that the defacto sec review should remain but here was washington and the cusp but when she came to washington for this concert the war in wood and jericho mia former and with that is standing against that of lot since own parents -- watson in his own parents in a diminished in this part of the picture of that dignified past to pose in the picture then double this brattling dash distress of his present circumstances and in the future for all of these children to me it is terribly important to tell us a lot about the racism not just from this city but also american life. i cannot close on a somber note to. [laughter] so i will talk about a wonderful painting. >> by a great to every had talked about the aer

washington -- [ cheers and applause ] washington need to become once again the servant rather than the masters of the american people. and i know how to do this. i will restore the proper balance. government cannot grow faster than our ability to pay for it. and in a bush administration it >> i tell you, i know many people disappointed. i'm disappointed with tonight. but i want you to understand something. i want-up to understand our disappointment tonight is it's on me. i did not do well on saturday night. so listen to this, that will never happen again. [ cheers and applause ] >> for the democrats it was bernie sanders in a landslide. the vote was a powerful rejection of hillary clinton. who won in new hampshire in the primary in 2008. she its now looking to bounce back in south carolina. both candidates spoke to their supporters. >> we have sent the message that will echo from wall street to washington, from maine to california. [ cheers and applause ] and that is -- that the government of our great country belongs to all of the people and not just a handful of wealthy campaign cont

that comes from washington. washington needs to back off a little bit on the standardized tests. i'll be a voice for that. but also things like universal pre-k so kids have a great start to identify and develop their own god given talents and gifts. >> i want to ask you about an appearance recently you had with your democratic opponents. you've taken some heat for your response on this. it was a question about money and endorsements from various organizations, including the oil and gas industry. you said no, you have not accepted any, but some have called that untrue. there's even an ad out by one of your competitors about that. let's quickly take a listen to a little bit of thatÁpenn ad. >> no. >> thank you very much. >> really? >> yeah. now listen, people, let me tell you some news. >> that was an ad with a little bit of your response there. i did look up your finances. you did get a contribution from the vice president for policy and strategy at the american gas association. how do you explain your answer? do you feel you were perfectly transparticipan transparent? >> i do no

, martha washington. she was standing on a platform. and you notice the opulent attire. the next image i think you will find may be more familiar. this is county elections from 1851. what do you see here? >> you see a guy at the top left. prof. balcerski: there's actually more than one drunk person. good. >> some speaking. prof. balcerski: stump speaking. vote for me for president. anything else? >> it is working-class people. prof. balcerski: that is all good. you are seeing a diversity of people. you're also seeing the white male electorate. this is going to stand for democracy. it is a diverse thing. the whole town. children as well. although it would be the white male voter, the constitution encompasses many and women, whites and african-americans alike. it is not a question about whether one can participate or if one can participate more broadly in politics. when we think back to the people who stood in as politicians, two people come to mind. from the federalist party alexander hamilton. from the de

washington journal continues. now are twog us congressman. representative john carney, a democrat from delaware. renaccingressman james who is a republican from ohio. they will be talking about their bipartisan working group. good morning gentlemen. tell me a little bit about this bipartisan working group. rep. carney: we try to work every week. we get together at the beginning of the week to find ways that we can work together on legislation . we talk about the agenda for the week. we talk about members initiatives they are working on and have a lot of dialogue. how we address the challenges facing the country. i come from a state where bipartisanship is a great tradition. we have an event after each election called return day and at the end of that celebration the democrats and republicans actually bury a hatchet on stage. it is symbolic for sure where democrats and -- we are democrats and republicans. let's work for the good of the people we represent. host: why did you think rounding this group was a good idea

she was the principal strategist of that initial march on washington. people like ella baker was another leader of the naacp, they had gone to a. philip randolph and they said we were looking at this plan for a march and we noticed you didn't have one woman invited to speak. and women have been central to this movement. he kind of came down hard. they went to the other leaders bayard rustin to are looking at all equivocated and didn't say anything. they did make a commitment. then later the they released the list of official speakers and still there was not one woman on this list of official speakers. a number of women who involved in the movement actually threatened to picket a. philip randolph we needed publicity. he was giving a speech at the national press club to call for the march and to publicize the march and they threatened to picket him. they decided at the last minute not to do that. they said we want to support this, it's important thing. in a last minute deal, the men agreed to allow daisy bates to speak. in a sort of further insult she was

washington has been charged with felony dui after highway patrol troopers say washington was impaired when he crashed into the back of he bonded out of court sunday afternoon. the crash happened saturday evening on bluff road in hopkins. troopers say two men were inside the other vehicle -- one man is still in the hospital in intensive care. we are still waiting on the department of public safety to release additional details of the crash including washington's blood alcohol level. we have learned today that south carolina communities will be awarded 157-million dollars to help with disaster recovery efforts following significant flooding last october. the u-s department of housing and urban development -- or hud -- says the funds will help with remaining unmet housing, economic development, and infrastructure needs that resulted from thousands of homes and small businesses being damaged or destroyed. you can see on your screen how the nearly 157 million dollars will be allocated. lexington county is getting about 16 million, the city of columbia is getting nearly 20 million, richland

as long as washington was alive, everybody had enormous respect to washington. he's one of the people who you can't find anybody who says anything negative about what so ever. and as long as washington was there, the system kind of health. once washington retired then things really fell apart. it's quite remarkable is the country, it's quite remarkable the country survived. >> we have time for couple of questions. let me have one of them be from the audience. decisions, they relied on some of the revisions made later than the event itself. >> the supreme court for most of its history has been quite careful not to fight directly to the notes. they tend to side to the federalist papers which they like a lot more which were written by madison and hamilton during the period when they are very close. so i don't think this book will change specific issues. i think what this book will cause some difficulty for people is that people who believe on the court in originalism may have some positive originalism is sometimes misunderstood. it's not the idea that you -- origin

washington,ave for 32 senators would go. the room would turn into a courtroom, and eventually it was the united states federal district court room in the 19th century -- they do not necessarily need this upper tier. desks go away. we do not know what happened to them. this is our best guess. need. you always in the mid-1800s when people start thinking about american history, like we do so much of saying, we start need to start collecting things for independence hall. somebody says, they stuck them in the room. they were chairs for the federal congress, but either way they were displayed at independence hall. fortunately when we are restoring congress hall to look as it would have, we had 29 original chairs. the majority where the house. a couple of them are marked senate. some head it's a different political street. -- colored upholstery. we said let's put them all in the senate chamber. we will fill the senate chamber with 29 of the 32 chairs being original either for the house or senate, but original nevertheless. we arele

a lot of things that went to washington, d.c. are burned when washington is burned in the war of 1812. we lose a lot of those early things. -- that is one of the challenges is you do not necessarily have all of the things. but you do what you can to give people the sense of what it looks like when men like james madison or young andrew jackson are sitting in the room as members of the house of representatives. we are in the senate chamber here at congress hall in philadelphia. the senate is quite a bit more grand than the house of representatives would have been. there is a couple of reasons for that. our roots as a nation go back to when we were british. the british have a parliament with two houses, the house of lords, the house of commons and there's definitely parallels with our congress. the house is very similarly set up to the house of commons, and the senate therefore would be based on the house of lords. obviously, we will not have dukes and girls with noble titles but we have states in every state is equal in the senate

establishment and the washington cartel. a candidate dismissed out right by the media. some polls had him 15, 20 behind. you refused to let the establishment and media do your thinking for you. you refused to let them tell you how to vote. you wanted a candidate who didn't adopt his position because of the latest opinion polls, but because of a deep and under lying conservative philosophy that grounded him so that he knew exactly what he believed and the principles were that built this great nation. and so tonight i want to say to the people of new hampshire, thank you for what you did 36 years ago. thank you for giving america, and the world, and history our 40th president of the united states, ronald wilson reagan. and i ask the people of new hampshire, and the people of south carolina, and the people of nevada, and the people of the super tuesday states on march 1, to each of you, do not listen to our words. do not listen to the rhetoric from campaigns, but rather, hold everyone of us accountable, hold me accountable and

washington. let's go back to derrick ward live at the townhouse development where this all unfolded. what can you tell us? >> reporter: indeed. we are in the 1300 block of palmer road at ft. washington. this is the pinewood hill development. you see the townhouses there. you see that car with the door open. that has been the focus of the investigation here. prince george's county police says they look into this double homicide, a mother and a child. a 2-year-old child. neighbors called police at 37:00 this morning, reporting the sound of gunfire. when they got here they found an adult woman, unresponsive, pronounced dead at the scene. the child was found in the car. both had been shot. child was taken to the hospital and died at the hospital. we understand that 2-year-old is a little girl. we don't have her name. now, the entire command staff of prince george's police department has been on the scene, at least was on the scene earlier. still a kadri cadre of detectiv uniform officers. they used c

announcer: final score-- washington, 20, dallas, 17. washington goes to the playoffs! i yeah! i wish you could swim yeah! yeah! yeah! yeah! like the dolphins you did it! like dolphins can swim you did it! yeah! yeah! whoo! nothing will keep us together we can be better forever and ever we can be heroes just for one day well, i i will be king and you you will be queen for nothing nothing will drive them away we can be heroes for the washington sentinels left the stadium that day, there was no ticker-tape parade, no endorsement deals for sneakers or soda pop or breakfast cereal-- just a locker to be cleaned out and a ride home to catch. but what they didn't know was that their lives would be changed forever. you, too, shane. because they had been part of something great, and greatness-- no matter how brief-- stays with a man. every athlete dreams of a second chance. these men lived it. i will survive, i will survive go on, now, go walk out the door just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore weren't you the one who tried to break me with good-bye? did you think i'd la

[applause] and it didn't come from washington. washington despised ronald reagan. it began right here in new hampshire in the live free or die state, and it changed this country, it changed the world. why am i so optimistic? because the same thing is happening again. it took jimmy carter to give us ronald reagan. and i am convinced the most long-lasting legacy of barack obama is going to be a new generation of leaders in the republican party who stand and fight for liberty, who stand and fight for the constitution, who stand and fight for the judeo-christian values that built this great nation. [cheers and applause] and with that, i'm happy to answer or dodge any question you like. [laughter] yes, ma'am. >> yeah. i understand that you're a big supporter of president reagan, and so i want to ask you if, like him, you would work to keep us secure by sitting down with the russians to negotiate mutual reductions in nuclear weapons. >> well, thank you for that question. and, listen, from my intereducative i'm -- perspective i'm happy to sit down and negotiate with pract

this is democracy coming down through washington through george washington custis and spreading across the world. and on the side of course we have martha washington and young eleanor custis. and martha washington has of course her hand on what is so important to us and all of you tonight as well, and that is the map of the city of washington. and we will return to this painting again as we go forward. the painting became, as i think i wrote in my notes, it became an engraving. and edward savage wrote about that and actually told washington he made $10,000 on it. i still think i was almost cheeky of savage to say, making money on washington. but this picture and washington ordered for engravings, and you can see one of them at mount vernon. and i always love you think about that when i'm at mount vernon. i go into the breakfast room, the morning room and there is george washington and his family looking down on the table where george washington and his family used to take the breakfast. it's almost like the morton salt girl going down and down and down. but i do think it's a magnificen

, sleepless in washington -- clueless in washington. i have traveled this country for one year. i have been home one night for the last 10 months. gone from one plant to another. thelook into the faces of men and women who have lost their jobs. they don't understand what is happening. they don't understand why the american dream is slipping away from them and they did but was right. they saved and all of a sudden they were dropped flat. they will never again have a job been the jobey had that was exported overseas. either that or they don't care about it. and i amnt these folks going to speak for these folks. i will be up and washington -- in washington. that is who we are going to represent. [applause] what is their answer? i've got answers. we have a program. it marries the tax-cut program of ronald reagan with the tariff and trade policies envisioned by the founding fathers. it puts these two together. it gets tough for people who are tough with us. if the chinese government imposes a 40% tariff on us. if it feels our intellectual po

george washington did it. when you launch -- send an army into indian company, the objective is not usually to find indian warriors and meet them in battle. the objective is to find indian villages and indian cornfields and burn them. that was how we defeated indians. in the 19th century on the great plains where people were hunting ,uffalo, we did the same thing by destroying indian villages in winter, killing their pony herds, and also systematically exterminating the buffalo. by doing that, you render women and children hungry. comes, they have no chance -- choice but to come into the reservation. the same thing applies in the 18th century. destroy the cornfields. there's no time to replant another crop. that's how you defeat the indians. that's what palmer essentially does. he marches into ohio indian country, burns villages, and destroys crops. wheneal casualties occur their armies turn around to head home. indian people who evaporated in their advance come back. at the time he goes home, he suffers 200 c

thomas: that is a criticism around washington. we don't do anything that doesn't benefit our members. and of course the organizations that support us would not do so if they did not think that our mission was going to be moved forward. over time, it is been about 80% individual support and 20% from corporations and associations. the vast majority of our support comes from individual taxpayers. why would we not want to fight against internet access taxes? there are companies that might benefit. we know exactly what we should be doing. brian: do you ever get tired? thomas: no. i have been doing it for a long time. i spent six years on capitol hill with senator fischer as i mentioned. i love going in there every day. we really tried to get things done that benefit the taxpayers. brian: here is one that goes way back to the senators golden fleece award. the federal aviation administration was named for spending $57,000 for a study of physical measurements for 432 airline stewardesses paying special attention to the length of the butto

washington, d.c. is growing. it is booming. you go to washington, iowa, and the middle class hasn't had a salary increase in more than 15 years. and that is occurring everywhere. so you definitely see that sentiment and there were so many people who would tell me, jeb is a good and decent man. we like jeb. if jeb gets to the ticket in over hillary clinton easily. assuming they were -- they were assuming hillary would be the one that would win on the democratic side. but at the end of the day, those who are anti-record, those who are looking for something different wanted something else. and certainly you can see that the one who is the front-runner today is donald trrp and donald trump who, for all practical purposes, isn't a real republican. he's not voted in a republican primary since the 1980s. but republican primary voters and i mean evangelical voters in south carolina certainly he took a big portion of that vote, you see thischange and this anger that is translating into a protest vote and that vote is translating as some
