we changed our name from the papers of george washington to the washington papers. it's a very deliberate change because we did not want to offend martha. lest it be suggested that martha was in some sent an exit sense and exemplary to george washington or she operated in his shadow for her role was to prop him up and help him become great, we need to emphasize the fact that she was, in herself a very important person. we think the mount vernon ladies association for supporting us in this vast new expansion we began in july of last year. we published the full papers of martha washington in two volumes in the papers of the washington family which will be in three volumes, and letterpress and a comprehensive digital edition which will include his parents, his siblings, martha's children and martha's grandchildren and our good friend, justice of the supreme court. first of all as i begin to talk about the george washington as an entrepreneur, i need to give thanks above all for this work for what's good in it from a good friend jim and carol corder who are in the audie

as lad washington became very firmly this is washington. martha set out for york and took with her crew - - her two grandchildren as you all go far better than i her son who had died of acute fever shortly after the victory at yorktown and ever since his death has given a home to the young guest of the four children. and one of the president's many nephews recorded a departure from mt. vernon. and member of the lowe's negros made their appearance and they seemed greatly agitated and equally sell. when it stopped the commotion was still greateris wl that the family in tears everything in the most lamentable situation. shore to e the president came to the jersey shore.the washington's in those hours they would spend alone together and they would practice in private to supervise the grandchildren and then to go shopping. did to keep up the detailed correspondence but georgia dusted w in charge and to describe the new life in since she arrived. and she wer as she wore a the summer dress she was loving this city as the grandmother reported. she

make no mistake, washington set the strategy. washington set the goals. hamilton's job, and hamilton was not washington's first choice as secretary of the treasury -- was to implement those goals. hamilton certainly came up with exceptionally detailed and very important ideas, and plans, for maintaining the economy. washington studied every single word of everything that hamilton wrote, and accepted most but rejected some, came close to vetoing the bank of the united states. washington's final achievement as president, i think, to maintain and give us a foundation for prosperity, this is the jay treaty aftermath when john jay, poor guy, was burned in effigy. at least he wasn't actually burned or hanged himself. people were furious at washington should establish a treaty with the british in 1795, in which we didn't really get that much out of it. we got something out of it. but washington's goal here was twofold. peace, peace, peace, on the one hand. he was a man of peace. not despite having been a general and a soldier, but i think because he was soldier

but in washington it was about 77% to 23% there. too early to call with only 13% in, in that west coast state we'll watch that as well as hawaii the other two states. and of course, we may jump out at any time if we get bernie sanders because he is expected to come out and speak. that is why we cleared danny out of the way for those interested. you look at a night like this, and there are folks in bernie land, saying why can't he get a big celebration, three big states, why does everybody jump back to the long-term map. and maybe the best win since new hampshire which has a symbolic win for him. >> listen, he should celebrate, it's a great night for him. many people will have a great night tonight there. the question is what does the math say and how can he change the way the campaign is going? a candidate like bernie sanders has to find a way to get beyond the people who were pulled to him in the beginning. hillary clinton has contacts with all the important voter groups in the party. and bernie sanders started out as a man who was

john washington was the first washington to arrive in virginia in 1656. and his idea was to simply load up a ship with tobacco and sail back to england and sell it there. he had no intention of remaining in virginia. we owe the whole future history of our country to the fact that his ship sank. [laughter] he was ready to go. he was going to go back, and, the poor guy, his ship sank. he displayed among the first attributes of the washington's, and there were many of them, adaptability, flexibility. he decides, well, my ship has assigned. he complains a lot. the washington's are a lot of complaints, who's going to pay for this loss? but he is also very adaptable gentlemen and he decides that well, this is the rounded, i've lost my ship, i'm going to make my fortune here. the next thing that he does that is very characteristic of the washington is that he marries very well las.

that's a real relationship of trust, then, between washington and lear. >> absolutely. >> president washington does put the nation's finances on firmer footing. no wonder he's on the $1 bill. it's also why i think inheriting his wallet, of all things, is so cool. no surprise that the first person it passes to, the story goes, is tobias lear, who stays at washington's bedside at mount vernon on the night of december 14, 1799, when the former president dies at age 67. but the modern-day heirs in this strange inheritance story, the farwell ladies, are not descendants of tobias lear, either. they invite me back to their home in morrisville, pennsylvania, right across the delaware river, to connect the dots. >> my father was a truck driver. we got along, but we were very frugal. my mother was an excellent homemaker, pretty good cook, and she was a hard worker. >> she also has a little secret. where did your mom keep the wallet? >> in a little black box squirreled away somewhere. >> after the break, the improbable path of washington's wallet, if, in fact, it's really his. she is 100% convinced this

democrats in washington will technically have a primary in late may. but where democrats will pick their choice for a presidential nominee is at their caucuses tomorrow morning. so the parties have differed in washington state as to how they do these things. even on the democratic side, though, washington is a little bit strange in terms of the way they do tear caucusings. one of the things you can generally say for the primaries is caucuses ask a little bit more of your average voters. usually the bottom line is you physically have to show up at the date and time the caucus is happening in order to participate if it. that's a little bit more oonero. in washington state, though, even though they are going to have a caucus tomorrow, here's the thing, more than 30,000 washington democrats are plan income participating in those caucuses without turning up for them. more than 30 democrats have filled out a surrogate affidavit, which essentially lets you participate in the caucuses by mail, without having to show up while the caucus is happening. this is so

and then she loved washington. to the end of her life said her happiest years were in washington. >> yeah. not a lot of people would say that today. >> i still love it but they -- so she wrote these interesting letters, as i say. >> yeah. >> then she has to go off to be the first lady of the confederacy, which is something she did not greatly enjoy. and as with mary lincoln she lost a child in that white house. the child fell off the roof and died. but she, you know, she did her duty. >> yeah. >> but she was always suspect. again, like mary lincoln was suspect for being from kentucky by the north, varina davis' grandfather had been governor of new jersey. so she was suspect by the south. and she was olive complected. she was never quite fair enough for the perfect southern belle. and so after he died, she thought -- and it was a difficult relationship. she moved to new york. and that was shocking, a scandal. the first lady of the confederacy going to the north. and the southerners tried to get her to stay and they

they celebrate washington's birthday and washington got special robust attention and it was a stick in the face of the south and to rally northern patriotic opinion. so there is to be a huge, by their standards, military parade in the streets of washington on the birthday which john tyler finds out to his horror the night before and sends a note to buchanan saying this would be a major issue with the south and parade is canceled after the troops assembled on pennsylvania avenue. congressman pickles is disgusted and rushed to the white house to protest, people assembled in the street, and they say the parade is back on. the marines were too far away but the washington, d.c. militia proceeded that day so there were two parades celebrati celebrati washington's birthday. to summarize the arguments made during the three and a half weeks of the peace conference there is one school of debate put forward by, say, the old whig from ohio who said what the south does is not our business. i would not own slaves but we should not concern ourselves with what is not our business. a delegate from new

there is no doubt, that every day i have been in washington, i have been standing up for washington. it is the reason so many americans are energized and excited by our campaign. we have seen for a long time, the washington cartel, career politicians in both parties that get in bed with the lobbyists and special interests. it is why people are frustrated and angry. we are tired of being betrayed, tired of being lied to. i stand up to members of my own party. and i honor the commitments i made to 27 million texans who elected me. i promised that if you elect me, i will fight with every breath in my body to stop the disaster that is obamacare, stop amnesty and secure the border, stop the debt that is bankrupting our kids and grandkids to defend , religious liberty, and the bill of rights. every day in the senate i have honored that promise and stood with the american people against the corruption of washington. now, we welcome the support of everyone. we welcome everyone with open arms. and part of the process of a primary is uniting everyone. but i would note that they are uniting beh

neighborhoods now around washington. here's your forecast for this saturday. looks like today is is the best day for that. we'll have the cold temperatures warming into the low to mid-60s by midafternoon with lots of sunshine. terrific day. easter sunday and the morning, upper 40s. might get a few rain. high only around 60. today is the best day to get in your blossom viewing. maybe a brisk run, you'll need to larry up a bit. near 40 in washington. low to mid-40s around the bay. your exercise forecast for today, mid-50s by noon time. 60 by 1:00. it will warm quite quickly. mid 60s again 3:00 and 5:00 p.m. with lots of sunshine. just a little bit of a breeze coming in out of the north. and the trees are really starting to greenup is and producing a lot of pollen. i just took this photo in northwest washington 30 minutes ago. producing a lot of pollen. the tree pollen is in the high zone. pine, oak and maple tree pollen pre-t todominantl predominantly. and mold spores in the air. you probably feel like you are allergic. we

here in washington. 10:00 p.m. here in lahore, pakistan. we begin this hour with the political firestorm over donald trump's controversial comments on abortion. today a rare admission from the trump campaign that he misspoke when he said that women who had abortions should be punished if the procedure were made illegal here in the united states. we're going to hear from the trump campaign live in just a minute. but first a closer look at how all of this unfolded. trump made the initial marks in an interview with chris matthews on msnbc. >> do you believe in punishment for abortion, yes or no as a principle. >> the answer is that there has to be some form of punishment. >> what kind of punishment? 10 cents or 10 years? >> i don't know. it's a complicated position. >> later on came this statement from trump, quote, this issue is unclear and should be put back into the states for determination. like reagan, i am pro-life with exceptions, which i have outlined numerous times. finally a little bit after that. this clarification, if congress were

most amazingly of all, if you want a sense of how hostile george washington ended up, after george washington died, thomas jefferson visits mount vernon, martha washington makes the statement to friends that the second worth day of her life was the stay thomas jefferson visited mount vernon, the worst day of her life having been the day her husband died. works powerful statement. then she says to friends that thomas jefferson was among the most detestable of all mankind. and martha washington was not particularly political. >> rose: why did she say that? well, she felt jefferson had betrayed and double-crossed her husband. >> rose: is that a true portrait of jefferson, that that was part of the nature of the man? >> jefferson wrote a letter to an italian friend that ended up accidentally getting published in the newspapers where this friend who had visited the united states, he says to the italian friend, you would be amazed at the heresies that have sprung up among us. he said, those who were samsons in the field and solomons in the council have had their heads shorn by england. very strong

washington? >> washington was, you know, 25, 30 -- 20 years older han hamilton. jefferson was 12 years older than hamilton. >> rose: he was very young. he was very, very young. >> rose: from the other people shaping the country. >> hamilton is really the boy wonder of the american revolution. so he's 22 when he becomes washington's aide decamp and chief of staff of the revolution. only 34 years old when he becomes treasury secretary. and hamilton treasury department with the customs inspectors and revenue collectors were larger than the government combined. jefferson starts at the state department with half a dozen people. hamilton starts with hundreds of people because the most important thing, the country was bankrupt. we had to collect revenue. that's why hamilton was more like the prime minister than merely a treasury secretary. >> rose: was his ambition to be president? >> his ambition i think certainly was to be president. a lot of people imagined that because he was foreign-born that he could not be, but in the constitution it says that you have to be at l

says washington refused. a search warrant says the blood was taken 1:00 a.m. sunday. washington was taken to the richland county jail. he was released from jail after posting $25,000 bond. >>> richland county deputies arrested a suspect in connection with a shooting death from last night. jose reyes has been charged with murd -- charged with murder. last night deputies responded to shots fired in the 400 block of seton hall road, not far from clemson road. they found jaelen josey inside a crashed vehicle with a gun shot wound. he was pronounced dead. deputies believe jose reyes shot jaelen josey. witness were able to identify jose reyes as the suspect. >>> we knew when it was happening the effects of the years into the future. it has been five months now, many still effected. including the fire department. their training facility was water. news 19's colby gallagher with more on how they are recovering. >> reporter: from the outside the training facility looks as it has but on the inside it is a different sto

washington's belief in religious liberty. we have a couple more letters across the way. these are from the jewish communities of philadelphia, new york, charleston and richmond the road together as the body. -- who wrote together as a body. the community of savannah also wrote to washington, as did many other religious groups. we have a list of the different groups that wrote to him. despite the confirmation of the commitment by the federal government to religious liberty, jews still had overcome obstacles. to complete liberty many states had religious tests jews that block from holding office at the state level. generally that would be -- you would have to take an oath on a christian bible in order to hold office. a jew cannot do that. those laws were struck down one by one. the latest was in 1877. it's a very long time. -- it took a very long time. in this gallery look at the mid-19th century from about 1820 two right around the civil war, the 1860's. in this gallery and over here in this gallery you'll notice we paid a lot

washington. and much later he told martha's wayward granddaughter, eliza custis who i rather love, he said to her that marriage is the foundation, most important foundation of life. and it was his marriage to martha that made him think that. i don't think -- i mean, marriage is the most important foundation of etch's life, but -- of everyone's life, but for washington's, i do think it was. he was married to the right person. >> one more. >> yep. >> did martha washington keep a diary -- [inaudible] >> if she did, she burned it, unfortunately. but we, we do have her letters. i find her letters extremely vivid. and as doug said, the martha washington papers project is underway. and i, there's, you know, who knows where there may not be martha washington letters that were not published in the edition of her papers by joseph fields. it's going to be very exciting over the next four or five years. i think it will go online and be published as well in about four years. so i'm, i have to say it's one of

, washington. but in the counties that have come in, bernie sanders well ahead with roughly three quarters of the vote. let's talk about the votes that have come in and where bernie sanders is doing so well. >> remember, this is about delegates so 304 down in terms of pledged delegates to start the day. we're waiting for the major population centers, very significant. the bulk of the congressional districts are here in the northwestern part of the state and the delegates are allocated some statewide, some by congressional district. we need to wait for the numbers. you see 74-25. pretty consistent throughout the day. you go through the counties, 71% here, 71 here. the vote that's in is more than 7 in 10 about everywhere. that doesn't mean it will come in that way here but when have gone to our correspondents they seem roughly coinciding. 101 delegates at stake. we have to go by congressional district. but roughly look at senator sanders about 75, she's going to get about 25. that's rough. >> plus 50

three serve in washington, d.c. with that is not republicans have vowed to not even consider a nomination to replace justice scalia something democratic paul schumer called part of a pattern. >> it's not just with the supreme court that the republican majority is not doing their job. it's about appointments up and down the line. it's no surprise then that the number of judicial emergencies have tripled since republicans gained the majority in 2015. >> attorney general loretta lynch removed herself from consideration, saying the nomination process would interfere with her current job. >> the leader of canada, the prime minister justin trudeau is meeting with president obama in washington. al jazeera's mike viqueira has more on the goals of the trip. >> it's been 19 years, but today, president obama rolls out the red carpet for a canadian prime minister, welcoming justin trudeau to the white house for the pomp and ceremony of an official state visit. the two leaders met once before at a summit in the philippines last
