crumbling through the grief and optional r t cairo. well the jeffersons are slowly realizing they're a long way from seeing the benefits of their own revolution when the mantle has written extensively on egypt's uprising says they fell prey to a political game there has been no revolution in egypt i said so. in our t.v. interview in late january i believe exactly that would be the outcome because this was incited from the outside it was designed to get rid of mubarak who was a thorn in the side of the obama middle east policy and put the same people in there with it with a different face at the top a lot has changed and it's largely unfortunately changed for the worse the economy plunged since the events of january. the tourism is not going to be bombed back any time soon but even even still there was a rather healthy growth curve in the last several years even while mubarak was still in power and that that has dramatically changed for the worse this never was about democracy in the first place a lot of youth were brought onto the streets under the illusion that it was and now you have

jefferson wrong he said if a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization. scuse me expects what never was and never will be and then he continued to say whenever the people are well informed they can be trusted with their own government that whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice they may be relied upon to set them right i mean jefferson not only was gung ho for education on his tombstone he didn't even want to that he was prez the united states rather he wanted it but he was the founder of the university of virginia as a free school for pretty much anybody he was totally for public schools. if you and i have every reason to believe that he would be in favor of these particular charter schools particularly when you look at how the public education system has hijacked the teaching of these children you have young men and women leaving high school who don't understand basic math who have learned fictitious and fallacious history who have been in cool kid with various fictions for instance aggrandizing the marginal accomplishments of particular

the university's vintage build ings that were designed by thomas jefferson, and the main part of the campus there what they call the grounds at uva, and they are looking at all of those. there are several what they call serpentine walls that date from jefferson's days and they are meandering walls that are s-curved and getting a lot of priority in addition to the rotunda and some of the main buildings on campus that are being inspected, but the university official there says that the operations of the university have not been fundamentally changed. of course, it is summertime now, and they are on a summer class schedule, but that nothing has been canceled, and they have no reports of damage or injury, and you know, tamron, as you were talking with bob bazell, that is is the case everywhere we check and certainly the case at homeland security which is next door to us here in washington, d.c. a homeland official says that many of the homeland folks did leave their buildings today, but that the operation center at homeland remained continually operating and that part was not affecte

exactly the kind of candidate who'd win the support of none other than thomas jefferson. despite the fact they likely disagreed politically, still, this is a founding father who would have appreciated the kind of candidate warren is. let me explain. for just a moment, i'm taking off my tv guest hat and putting on my profess oirl hat. the fact is the american founding was a political process full of difficult compromises and fierce battles over ideas. one of the most important battles was that over democracy. thomas jefferson had a particular affection for the so-called farmer of early american politics. "the federalist and agrarian forces in government were divided in opinion by the revolution, the federalists were in favor of a strong central government and look to the commercial and industrial expansion. the republicans believed in the local government and economy based on small independent farmers. the american yeoman farmer has become a symbol of philosophy. above all professions, he would recommend farming to his son. among his reason, farming is among the vocation that con deuces mo

only unelected figure, you've got jefferson, washington, lincoln, but martin luther king jr., what does that mean? >> i think it means a great deal. not only to african-americans, but to all americans. when you see what is being created there, when now it's open to everybody in the next few days you will be amazed at one, how beautiful it is. but also the words that will be ib scribed on the words around the memorial. martin luther king coming out of that stone of hope. i think it will be an inspiration to all who go and see it. who go and experience it. who go and witness it. and i want to see kids go there by the thousands because i want them to read those words. i want them to understand what was done for them. and don't blow the opportunity. we're counting on you. so many of our youngsters are doing extremely well, but we do have problems. and we've got to work on these problems. we can never think that his dream is over until it truly is overand it is not a dream. it is a reality for all americans. not just african-americans for females, for everybody for hispanics. we are a wonder

would be exactly the kind of candidate who would win the support of none other than thomas jefferson. even if he wasn't so much in favor of women's political equality and despite the fact that they likely disagreed politically, still this is a founding father who would have appreciated the kind of candidate warren is. let me explain. i'm taking off my tv guest hat and putting on my professor sorial hat. despite the tendnessee den -- te fact that the founding was a political process full of fierce battles over ideas. one of the most important battles was about the very nature of representative democracy. as the american studies program at the university of virginia explains, thomas jefferson had a particular affection for the so-called yeoman farmer of early american politics. "the federalist forces in government were divided in opinion following the revolution. the federalists led by hamilton were in favor of a strong central government. the republicans led by thomas jefferson, believed in the privacy of the local government and a national economy based on small independent farmers.
