washington was passionate here. and i quote, against this insidious wilds of foreign influence i conjure you to believe me, the jealousy of a fee people ought to be constantly awake. since history and experience proved that foreign influence is one of the most bainful foes of republican government but that jealousy to be useful must be impartial, end quote. his final warning, partial atlanta and commerce, warning number seven. washington instructed and i quote, the great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations to have with them to have as little political connection as possible. washington believed strong relations could be built on commerce keeping us in a fair and neutral and preventing dispute with other nations. he urged to steer clear of other alliances and that we should quote, safely trust a temporary alliances for extraordinary emergencies, end quote. washington argued, commerce should be equal and impartial, neither seeking nor granting exclusive favors,

so washington saw the story and there was a general outcry among african americans in washington, d.c., that said that's crazy. we knew her. we knew elizabeth kechley. it wasn't that long she had been alive and how could this person come out and say it. washington went right out and wrote a letter to the editor. so apparently people were calling up him on the phone and there was this outpouring, but washington was the one that got the letter to the editor published. all you have to do is go talk to black people in washington and you will kind out she did exist. and beth's papers, go ahead and find out her side of the story. she found this out and she was a bit abashed about this. and she wept to talk to washington and he sent her to other people. and she published a follow-up story and that is quite good. it says, you know, turns out a lot of people knew elizabeth elizabeth kechley was true after all. there were so many stories, photos, and she was taken with that. and then i was interested in the fact that in her little journal, a daily diary, saying what she did that day, she said "

washington's leadership. know, if you want more hamilton we will be offering a specialty tour at 10:00 every saturday starting this saturday titled "hamilton's bff and frenemies." [laughter] liz: don't miss your shot for this opportunity, you can buy tickets on that. [laughter] know, it is terrible. here is the moment you have been , withg for, dr. henriques alexander hamilton and george washington's relationship. [applause] thanks so much. i thought we might be where two or three are gathered together in this kind of weather. many oflly pleased so you made it out now. if the power holds up for the next hour we will be in business, otherwise we will talk the old fashion way by candlelight and see how it goes. as you know, i always like to start my talks with a little joke of one kind or another. this one involves a retirement speech for a priest to is leaving his parish after 25 years of dedicated service. come on in, it is ok. i expect if you people to be -- i expect a few people to be drifting in because of

washington's -- washington square water conservation project. >> good morning, commissioners. my name is levi connover. the item before you today is about action and possible action for concept design of the watch -- washington square water conservation project. approval of this action by the commission is the approval action as defined by s.f. administrative code, chapter 31. under the strategic plan, we seek to inspire public space, strengthen the quality of existing parks and facilities and inspire stewardship and natural resources and continued water conservation plan with fixtures, pathways, landscape, irrigation and modernization. washington square is located in north beach at the intersection of columbus and palace street. it is one of the city's old as parks and was issued landmark designation in 1999. and 2012, we partnered with sfp you see. of the 12 parks surveyed, washington square was the highest user of water on an annual per acre basis with a total use of 3.3 million gallons of water a year. contributing factors are age, the current irrigation system was install

of washington. ron is on target when he says hamilton gained in comparable power under washington because the president approved of the agenda he promoted with such tireless brilliance. jefferson was wrong when he charged that hamilton manipulated the president. washington is nobody's puppet. he can be soft-spoken, gentle and kind, and if it is his province, he will not let anyone do it. is he influenced by hamilton? unbelievably so. why? because hamilton and he basically see things the same way. whether you like it or not, and some of you would like it and some of you would not, washington is more of a hamiltonion than he is of a jeffersonian. in his view of the world, he sees it more that way. it is something jefferson could never accept. it is an absolutely crucial factor. there is no doubt that men grow closer together doing the term as president. hamilton would resign in 1794, washington remains president until 1797. dealing with crises is like the national debt, whiskey rebellion, all of the r

and from washington hillary mann leverett former u.s. state department official and now c.e.o. of the political risk consultancy strategy welcome to you all much of coming to you first what's the point of this i think it's important to put this in a context this is not the first time that the united states tries to have sort of alliances of coalition against iran this was the history the deal with iran and always there was a time that you know the regional players should play a role on isolation and isolating iran. as the norm of the not to stay and this was the case and again as iraq since the one nine hundred ninety one what is it you know and this. is that this comes up from the profession of the command with then the department of state who believes that it is enough to be away. from the reality that the united states does need its own alliances in the region and they need to see more involvement. from within the region with it afoot to isolate iran for this season i see that the administration this is an attempt from the bottom to t

i grew up in the suburbs of washington, d.c. school from 1978 to 1984. it is an all-girls school that opened in 1901. school,y time at the the girls at my school figure in late met and became friendly with toys -- boys from all schools in the area, georgetown prep, as all of our country clubs and other places were kids and families socialized. this is how i met brett kavanaugh, the boy who sexually assaulted me. during my freshman and sophomore school years, when i was 14 and 15 years old, my group of friends intersected with brett and his friends for a short. of time -- a short period of time. it was through that connection that i attended a number of parties that brett also attended. we did not know each other well, i knew him and he knew me. of 1982, like most summers, i spent most everyday at the columbia country club in maryland, swimming and practicing diving. one evening that summer, after a day of diving at the club, i attended a small gathering at a househouse. there were four boys i remember specifically being at the house, brett kavanaugh, mar

i find it very interesting what a panic the democrats the leading democrats in washington are in over this and not only that but as we know our closest allies are also panicking and there's certainly speculation as to who that might be is it the united kingdom is it the u.k. intelligence services who were involved seem to be up to their neck at least in this in trying to discredit it's going to be president but what is really going on here and i think it's really a fascinating thing it would be is an extraordinary extraordinarily public view of i guess you'd call it the deep state and how it operates and how it can overrule the president in getting these things released. china has issued a stern warning to the u.s. after washington slapped sanctions on the people's liberation army over its purchase of russian weaponry artie's egos donna has commentary. to analyze what beijing has said we have to see we have to look at what washington's doing and essentially it's playing a double game it is targeting russia mostly with its new round of sanctions but also launching a blow that is well w

in washington jim state. a new poll, election edge goes to democrats and female candidates by 58% to 34%, most one congress to stand up to trump. at the traditional labor day tort, those surveys have 58% 39% that they were more likely to vote for the democratic congressional candidate in their district, not the republican. that double-digit advantage would probably enable democrats to win control of the house, launchthem the power to investigations and perhaps even consider impeachment of the president. there is also this story about college education in the wall street journal. colleges offer price matches on tuition. oglethorpe university near atlanta will match the tuition for any state's flagship university. robert morrison said it would charge pennsylvania residents the same price as local public universities and give them a $3000 private scholarship to boot. are limited to >> or not that they came out, they gave their comments. host: yeah. denying that they ever said those things. we hear this over and

david: you live in washington state, outside of seattle. the man who was the richest man is named bill gates. what is the likelihood that the two richest men in the world live not only in the same country state, city, but same neighborhood? is there something about that neighborhood we should know about? are there any more houses there for sale? [laughter] jeff: after i saw bill not too long ago, we were joking about the world richest man thing. -- the world's richest man thing. i basically said, you are welcome. he immediately turned to me and said, thank you. it is a suburb of seattle. i don't think there is anything special in the water there. i did locate amazon in seattle because of microsoft. i thought that pool of technical talent would be a good place to recruit people from. that did turn out to be true, so it is not a complete coincidence. david: when you want to buy something, do you have put a credit card down? you just say you are jeff bezos? you carry cash around? [laughter] jeff: i do carry cash. [laughter] jeff: i have credit

once a national paper, "the washington times" and "the washington post" is basically a propaganda newspaper for the left wing. i apologize. joining us now, author of the book why we fight. national security strategist dr. gorka, geraldo rivera, for "the washington post" to say complicit and then go on to say further that when it comes to extreme weather trumpets complicit, he plays down humans role in increasing the risk, he continues to dismantle efforts to address those risks. donald trump, donald j. trump, our president, complicit because we have a hurricane about to hit the carolinas. geraldo rivera. >> well, sean, i think he is indeed complicit. i think he is also complicit in the stock market crash of 1929, not to mention the manson murders. it's very clear that this man -- the good thing about that story is it so painfully ridiculous. it is so contemptuously falls that it reveals an attitude towards this president that absolutely corroborates what i have said since before he took office. there has never been a president who has had a worse relationship with the press. where everythin

the problem we have in washington is spending. is estimating that we will generate about $3.4 trillion worth of revenue. we are going to spend record amounts of revenue, that is $4.2 trillion. while john talks about being fiscally conservative and being concerned about the debt, since he has been in washington, he increased the debt ceiling 11 times. he stood here before you 12 years ago and talked about it was one of the most important issues that we faced. yet he still continues to increase the debt. the openmove on into discussion portion of our current topic on the economy and again to alternate back we will have senator tester start. sen. tester: that still continues to be one of the most important issues. if we don't deal with in a commonsense way, we will be in big trouble. that is why support a balanced budget. that is why i voted against iree of the five budgets thought they spent too much. this last budget i supported, it helped rebuild the military. it helped do things like give money to counties for paying taxes and sc

has said we have to see we have to look at what washington's doing and essentially it's playing a double game it is targeting russia mostly with its new round of sanctions but also launching a blog that is wild which intention is to damage beijing everything revolves around the russia's weapons russia's heavy weapons like the su thirty five fighter jet and the earth's four hundred surface to air missile defense system and so china bought some of those units and now it is also coming under fire for the world beijing let me tell you was not impressed when it found out that it is being dictated some new rules on this arena of arms trade other than fair competition we strongly call on the u.s. to remedy the mystique and cancel the sanctions otherwise the u.s. has to bear the consequences russia has also reacted to this new round of sanctions russia still diplomat sergei lavrov has said that what these acts are doing the essentially are pushing more school towards reducing its dependency on washington and especially on the exchanges in dollar and the u.s. currency has also added that this is

she's a reporter from the washington post. the washington post published a piece of christine ford. you spoke to her husband as well. what did he have to say about this incident and about her coming out with this as well ? >> i think this is a private thing to be dealing with in public for both of them. he said that in 2012, he recalls that therapist session very clearly and recalls not only that she described the event but she use ed kavanaugh's last nam and expressed some concern. he was on the d.c. circuit court of appeals. he said what if he goes on the supreme court. he called that. he was thinking some people may hear about this and think it doesn't matter. it was back in high school but from his perspective it says something, his wife's story says something important about the nominee that people need to know. >> his name is russell ford. you closed the piece with a quotation from him that's pretty powerful. i think you look to judges to be the arbitors of right and wrong. if they don't have a moral code of their own to determine right from wrong then that's a problem. i thin

to do subsequent he talked to a reporter with the washington coast -- washington post? >> yes. under the encrypted app and off of the record.>> who was that reporter? >> the person who ultimately wrote the story on september 16? selected to talk to any member of congress, and encoding congress with the senate or the house of representatives and any congressional staff members about your allegations between july 10 and 30th, which is the date of your letter to senator. feinstein. >> yes i met with the congressman anna eshoo staff july 18 i believe on the wednesday and on friday i met with the congresswoman herself. >> when he met with her, did you meet with her alone, or did somebody come with you? like i was alone and she had a staff person. >> what did you talk about with congresswoman anna eshoo and her staff on july 18 and the i the incident and we spent time speaking about that. and i asked her how -- what my options were in terms of going forward, and how to get to that information related forward. and to also talk to her about whether this was confidential information and

security council meeting washington's top diplomats. praised the progress made in relations between the two countries just a year since president. diplomatic attempts to hold north korea's nuclear ballistic missile development were unsuccessful but now we're at the dawn of a new day. well twelve months ago washington and pyongyang seemed to be standing on the brink of war so will this new day mention by secretary pompei oh actually lost in a patrol car reports from new york it's only been a year and then boom donald trump's second u.n. general assembly just listen to it i would like to thank chairman kim for his courage and for the steps he has taken a lot of very positive things are happening with chairman kim he likes me i like him we get along but most importantly i believe that chairman kim jong un wants peace and prosperity for north korea twelve months ago same building same holds same mr trump no one has shown more contempt for other nations and for the well being of their own people then the depraved regime in north korea no nor

interests the increased tensions will likely scuttle the renewal of trade talks between beijing and washington while about five thousand chinese products including household goods from vacuum cleaners to bikes will be targeted many u.s. businesses are expected to suffer as well three out of four american companies are adversely affected by u.s. tariffs and maybe sixty percent are adversely affected by the chinese tariff so that companies and remember these are folks doing business in china experts agree the trade war will not only hurt the u.s. and china but also the global supply chain with the pain likely spread across the world heidi joe castro al-jazeera washington. well let's get more on this. is joining us live from beijing has there been any reaction. not directly when it comes to the tariffs now we know that as we heard in heidi is report china has indicated that it would be kind of a tit for tat when it comes to any kind of tariffs and we've heard reports of there about sixty billion dollars that china is about ready to impose or they said if they had to they will impose sixty billion

in the "washington post" article, she does reveal more details. she said at one point he might inadvertently kill her. he was trying to attack me and remove my clothing. she only shared this later with a therapist, with her husband. that was in 2012. the husband recalled his wife using kavanaugh's name, but the therapist notes which were reviewed by the post don't. the woman declined to come publicly forward at first. you remember last week. instead she sent that letter to dianne feinstein on july 30th. the letter had a lot of these details, alex. she's in the letter according to a source, she said that kavanaugh physically pushed her in a bedroom and with another male locked the door from the inside and put on loud music. she alleges the two teens were drunk. it's worth noting the second teen has come forward and denied the allegations to the weekly standard. she said at one point kavanaugh was on top of her and in that moment he had his hand over her mouth and in that moment she said she feared she was in danger. >> extraordinarily disturbing de

may i ask, how did you get to washington? >> in an airplane. >> i ask that because it has been reported by the press that you would not submit to an interview with the committee because of your fear of flying. is that true? >> well, i was hoping they would come to me, but i realized that was an unrealistic request. >> it would have been a quicker trip for me. >> yes. so that was summer what i was hoping was to avoid having to get on an airplane, but i eventually was able to get up the gumption with the help of friends and get on the plane. >> when you were here in the mid-atlantic area back in august, end of july, august. how did you get here? >> also by airplane. i come here once a year during the summer to visit my family. not here, i go to delaware. >> okay. in fact, you fly fairly frequently for hobbies and you had to fly for your work, is that true? >> correct, unfortunately. >> you were consulted by a statustician in australia. >> i have never been to australia, but the company is based in australia and they have an off

you've been in washington for a long while. give me the historical import of what happened in washington? >> i think this a game changer. i mean, this is bad news for donald trump, and it's a big deal. i mean think about it, now you have michael cohen, george papadopoulos, michael flynn, rick gates and paul manafort who have reached plea deals with robert mueller, and manafort himself has of course been convicted on eight counts. i think it shows what an immovable force mueller is, how he's close 'ing. and think about who's left, donald trump, jr., roger stone, and donald trump himself. so i think we're seeing maybe the beginning of the mueller deal and he's closing in on the oval office. >> you're no stranger to the treacherous terrain that is washington, and when we look at what we saw on friday, it says an awful lot about how crooked some of those relationships can be when it comes to lobbying, when it comes to information and disinformation. what happens as a result of this to the lobbying industry in washington, d.c.? >> w

>> no. >> how did you get to washington? >> airplane. >> c-letter would not submit to an interview with the committee because of your fear of flying. is that true? >> i was hoping they would come to me but then that was not a realistic request. >> it would for me. [laughter] >> that is what i was hoping to avoid getting on an airplane but i could do that with help of some friends. >> in the mid-atlantic area in august or end of july how did you get here. >> also by airplane i come once a year to visit family i'm sorry not here but delaware. >> in fact you buy fairly frequently for your family and work. >> correct unfortunately. you are consulting by a statistician in sydney australia? >> i've never been there but the company was based there and an office in san francisco. i don't think i will make it to australia. >> i also saw that you list following interest he put hawaii costa rica south pacific islands have you been to those places? >> correct. >> by airplane? >> yes also oceanography tahitian culture. did you travel by

she's a reporter for "the washington post." "the washington post" has just published a piece naming christine blasey ford as the one who filed the allegation against brett kavanaugh to be the next supreme court justice. you spoke to her husband as well. what did he have to say about this incident and about her coming out with this as well? >> i mean, i think this is an incredibly painful and private thing to be now dealing with in public for both of them. he said that in 2012 he recalls that therapist session very clearly and recalls not only that she described the event but that she used kavanaugh's last name and even expressed some concern. the at time kavanaugh of course was on the d.c. circuit court of appeals. she said what if he some day goes on the supreme court. he recalled that. and he also said he was thinking some people may hear about this and think it doesn't really matter, it was back in high school, but from his perspective, it says something. his wife's story says something important he thinks about the nominee

and hello again from fox news in washington. tomorrow, the supreme court opens its new term with eight justices on the bench. judge brett kavanaugh's nomination facing another week of uncertainty after president trump under pressure, ordered a new fbi background check into allegations of sexual misconduct or his nominee. all of this just five weeks before the 2018 midterm elections. in a moment, we will speak with white house press secretary sarah sanders. but first, fox news white house respondent kevin cork has the latest on capitol hill. >>reporter: the fate of the supreme court nominee was thought to rest in the hands of a few sitting republican senators but it's not clearly and those of the fbi which is doing an supplemental investigation into judge brett kavanaugh. it comes after a series of misconduct allegations dating back to judge kavanaugh's high school and college years. debra ramirez confirmed that agents have contacted his client. the scope of the fbi investigation had been in question. saturday, nbc accused the wh

this work on national television thursday morning or whether she's already in washington. but what we do know is she's going to be the person in that room who knows the least, the least about this case since her engagement with it has started sometime this week. >> you know, they've brought her on board because of her skill sets, as a sex crimes prosecutor. and we can be pretty certain that what they won't want her to do is use her ability to cross-examine a defendant. of course, this isn't a criminal trial, but brett kavanagh is in that role here. she's been brought on board to use her skill set for gently evoking testimony from a victim. obviously the republicans on the committee have got enormous sensitivity about the appearance that this will be another anita hill-style level of testimony, and so her job will be to lead dr. ford through her testimony, for them to elicit points that they can use to break holes into her credibility without doing it in a way that makes them look like a bunch of old guys sitting around like we saw the last time. >> and, lisa, the rules tha

[laughter] jeff: after i saw bill not too long ago, we were joking about the world richest man thing. i basically said, you are welcome. he immediately turned to me and said, thank you. it is a suburb of seattle. i don't think there is anything special in the water there. i did locate amazon in seattle because of microsoft. i thought that pool of technical talent would be a good place to recruit people from. that did turn out to be true, so it is not a complete coincidence. david: when you want to buy something, do you have put a something, do you have put a credit card down? you just say you are jeff bezos? you carry cash around? [laughter] jeff: i do carry cash. [laughter] jeff: i have credit card

i look forward to going to washington getting to work. thank you, governor thank you. >> a few questions? >> no offense but i know the good senator since he was working -- there was a comment the mccain was -- [inaudible] >> i wanted to pick the best possible person regardless of politics. there is big work to be done in the united states senate and no one in the state of arizona has a statue of john kyle and i asked and i'm grateful that he accepted. >> [inaudible] >> the answer to the second question is no. the reason i did not want to commit to be on this congressional session is because when i left the senate almost six years ago i had no intention of returning and i needed to be with my family to come back to arizona more and be at their side so in that spirit i am willing to serve certainly through the end of the session, at least, in order to make sure the business that is currently ongoing is taken care of. i don't want to make a commitment beyond that. >> governor doozy, should senator kyle step down before 2020 because who do yo

senate to take your values to washington. stand withfor you to me and asking for your vote. >> two minutes, governor. gov. bredesen: i still have a high school civics view of my country. i think we have a brilliantly designed government. i think our government could be a source for good in this country protecting its people and lands. it pains me so much with what has happened over the course of , withst decade or two everything becoming a partisan issue, the inability to move things forward. it has become a government of people standing on opposite sides of the room, shouting at each other, not making any progress. people are going to have a choice. if what people want is more of that hard-nosed partisan prisoners,ake no draw lines in the stand, make no compromises, i am not your guy. there is another person on the stage who has been in washington for 16 years and shows it, and is steeped in that political philosophy and has gotten good at it. if you want someone who brings experience from the business world, brings experien

we tried to bring the world to washington and take washington up to the world. one of the most important things we do is explain the political process in washington to folks in other countries and try to advance mutual understanding so the misunderstandings we have seen the last couple years happen less. host: dvd review think the negotiating nafta was a good idea? people have a -- for opening up a pandora's box. many of us have been saying nafta is an old lady of trade agreements. we need to come up with the nafta 2.0. this was not the way we thought it was going to happen but there are things that will come out of it. i think a lot of us believe it was time to renegotiate. this was negotiated before anybody had internet. before we did banking online. before a lot of the things we take for granted. it is a pretty good deal for basic commodities but it did need to be updated. as duncan said, canada and mexico had said we ought to update yet -- this in the u.s. said i do not know. it could blow up. theya and mexico got what wanted, just not under conditions they
