washington. the alliance between these two men, washington, the father of his country, and hamilton, the father of american government and american capitalism, did more than anything else to bring about the modern united states of america in which you and i live today. george put it well when he said, you want to see alexander hamilton's memorial? look around you. he sees clear into the future than any other of the founding fathers. it's this combination of washington's impeccable judgment and character joined with hamilton's dazzling intellect. together they're all concrete, really matchless in its impact. the relationship between these two men, i think, is a very interesting one and revealing about both men's character. and i want to focus on that tonight because a time most of the focus will be on before washington becomes president, although we can have, obviously, explore other areas in the question and answer period. now, with the benefit of historical hindsight, and that's the one advantag

a portrait of george washington and soon will be publishing a book about washington's leadership. a side know if you want more hamilton, we'll be offering a specialty tour at 10:00 every saturday starting this saturday titles hamilton's bff in front of me. i bet you know who we'll be talking ability. so don't miss your shot for this opportunity. you can buy a ticket from us. i know it's terrible. so here's your moment you've been waiting for. dr.henriquez with right hand man, alexander hamilton's relationship with george washington, the musical versus the reality. >> [ applause ] >>> thanks, thanks so much. actually i thought we might be where two or three were gathered together this kind of weather. i'm really pleased so many of you made it out now. if the power holds up for the next hour, we'll be in business. otherwise we'll talk the old fashion way by candled light -- candlelight and see how it goes. as you see i always like to start my talks with a little joke of one kind or other. this one involves a retirement speech for a priest leaving his parish after 35 years of dedicat

you could argue that washington himself is more memorialized in washington, d.c. with the name, with his statue, someone was saying would you consider washington heights to be named after him? ok, will quibble on that one. there's finally a washington street, there hadn't been. that is why make the claim that it is ironic that someone who no one really remembers now, and did not have a significant presidential career was memorialized so much. i read one book on presidential assassinations where the author got it wrong. he said when garfield was shot there was no reaction, no efforts to memorialize. as opposed to others like kennedy. i read that and went back to all of the original newspapers and was like no, lots of people wanted to do lots of things to commemorate garfield. yes. >> what is the story with alexander graham bell and the bullet? matthew: they took garfield back to the white house. he was on his way from baltimore and potomac station. guiteau shot him. they took him back to the white house, which is what you did, you took people home to take care of t

this is the scene now this hour in washington, d.c., a city on

back to washington d.c.. if you protesters came to the "unite the right", that was the name of the rally. a much larger group called "shut it down" also joined in. police have done a pretty good job of keeping both groups separate. it is our understanding because of the pretty significant rain fall in there, most of the "unite the right" crowd has disbanded and headed home. the "shut it down" crowd also seems to be on the move, what direction that is griff jenkins is with counter protesters there. what is happening? reporter: has calmed down some. we are here at 17th and pennsylvania. this is the entrance were jason kessler and the dozen or so "unite the right" folks went in. a little while ago a police sergeant came up to this exit where the antifa folks have been. they wanted to block kessler. there was was upwards of 500 to 1000. the sergeant made a bullhorn and loud announcement and said that kessler has left. "unite the right" rally has ended. please disperse.please go home. however, as you can see, not

in washington d.c. there were far more counter protesters who converge on the city to stand against the white nationalist message of exclusion and white supremacy a lot of these people here came from all over the country and there were several hundred more than there were actual white nationalists who came to protest for their cause but a lot of the people here told me that they fear that the tide has not turned since last year in charlottesville when heather higher was killed they fear that white nationalism is still on the rise in the country fueled in part by a president who refuses to speak explicitly out against it. are there reporting in washington now cubans are starting a debate on a new draft constitution today for the next four months people are being invited to voice their opinion on the document at hundreds of public events on the island a vote just be taken in february of next year the new constitution would be for the first time recognize the role of the market and the private sector many

just a little bit about george washington in general. >> at 21 washington was was a very different washington from the one we know and hold sacred. different from the stately commander of the continental army the country gazing off into posterity. this is not that washington possessed of superhuman virtue given the chance with that nation step down to a quiet life on the virginia plantation. not a cherry tree bedtime story. to be temperamental and petulant demanding and stubborn and annoying and passionate. washington has not yet learned to cultivate this image or contain his emotions stead is a raw young man struggling toward maturity and in love with a close friends wife. this is the washington of emotional neediness and personal ambition and mistakes everything put on a grander scale most young people make mistakes many learn from that the difference with washington that quickly expanded from local to regional and to global with far-reaching historical consequences. this washington personally bears responsibility to inadvertently striking a spark to light the tender into the french and ind

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

washington, and his granddaughter and george washington lafayette. his son have been sent to save him from the french revolution. he was a little boy. they stopped and hoban had the militia and forced everyone to do it. a 21 gun salute. he was finished enough not to have windows yet or any of that. washington could see what it looked like. >> george washington saw his vision. people should know their worst three basic classes of workers. there was the elite, scottish masons who did the stone work and the carving. the irish workers and then there were slaves. what was the role of slaves and the actual building of the white house? >> labor. the scottish stonemasons preferred they hired slaves to be apprentices. it was a desirable job for a slave. the contracts were extensive. they had to be closed. they learned a skill. so as an advantage to them and perhaps buying freedom after it was over that they were no longer laborers. the scots did teach them on the job. i would say about 30 percent of the working force was black, and were slaves. they did not h

white nationalists in washington, d.c. covering the aftermath of that and the ongoing counterprotest in washington, d.c. you're seeing a group gathered outside the white house. and near to lafayette plaza where that protest took place. garrett haak, my colleague who usually covers the capital, is there for us. what's the latest hearing from those standing century right to the entrance of the old executive office building in washington, d.c.? >> reporter: yeah, david, look, the rally, itself, is over here, but the anger that it has unleashed is still rippling around washington, d.c.,right now, surrounding this exit to lafayette park are no fewer than at least three that i can tell d dissparate groups here. the antifa group with shields, helmet and projectiles apparently. they were throwing bottles a while ago at the police, who appear to be spoiling for a fight here, rushing into the breach when we thought this fence was opening and the rallyi goers might be coming out. there are black live matters protesters on the far sid

he was a rare figure in washington as someone he was a rare figure in washington as someone who would buck against the system, enjoyed the spotlight, was quite irascible, was certainly a flawed human being and happy to add meat it. he could be very grumpy and taciturn, but he also got this prominence because he was outspoken against his own party and that was increasingly in american politics, a rarity. in most recent times he has been also outspoken against donald trump. i was going to ask you about that because it almost feels like he is from eight different era with his criticism of vote is parties and his willingness to work across the aisle. he was willing to work with democrats and was good friends with ted kennedy, the former senator. 0ne of his key ambitions while he was a senator was to pass comprehensive immigration reform and he drove that in 2007 along with democratic colleagues. you look at politics now and that happens so rarely, that people are to cost the political divide and john mccain came from that era of ronald reagan and tip o'neill that era of ronald reagan and

and burned washington. president, yous know, i can't point to anything that was an enormous success. when jefferson sent him to england to negotiate a treaty on his own with great britain -- and this is early in the 19th century -- he desperately wanted to come home with a great treaty. -- he respected monroe, he knew monroe -- respected thomas paine, he knew thee was a great writer and most famous writer of the 19th century. one greatfferson had -- won great accolades for the declaration of independence. he was hoping that treaty with england would be his great prize. that would equal what paine and jefferson had achieved. backe sensed the treaty and jefferson rejects the treaty because the british refused to denounce their policy of impressment, of seizing american soldiers -- american sailors and forcing a man to the royal navy. they claimed they were deserters from the royal navy. jefferson rejects that treaty because they refused to renounce --ir policy of and present imprisonment. he came away empty h

tension is growing in the ongoing trade conflict between washington and beijing u.s. president donald trump said that he plans to add tariffs on chinese goods worth two hundred billion dollars that means that fifty percent of the trade in goods with china would be hit by punitive tariffs economists are concerned about what that could mean for the global economy uncertainty is also rising in china. lucky charms and fortune tellers have a long tradition in china and since donald trump began slapping tariffs on goods from the country things should be masters have seen business. jen china owns a shop selling skincare products like many others she's concerned about the future . to all the hydro call home my shop is in hong kong many of my clients though come from the mainland if the economy worsens due to the trade conflict i'm afraid i'll lose customers. so i'm consulting mass to check out to find out whether now is the time to move my business over there are things i'd hardly hold algonquin they were. the aim of things is to create harmony and that's more challenging sin

all right so let's go and bring in our panel joining us in washington d.c. hillary mann leverett former white house. house and state department official with responsibility for iran in tehran. a professor of world studies at the university of tehran and in geneva john mark rickly the head of global risk at the geneva center for security policy welcome to you all hillary i want to start with you so here is yet another shift in tone from donald trump earlier this month he threatens iran now he's saying that he's willing to meet with iranian president hassan rouhani with no conditions is there some kind of strategy here or is this a spontaneous statement. well it's hard to say for sure with president trump and in particular the wild swings in rhetoric make it more difficult but i think a sober analysis of it trumps moves and what he's done on the world stage and who he actually speaks to and from what we understand listens to in washington i think there is a strategy it is been vastly under reported and under estimated the key foreign policy person that trump h

and turkey are so strange then the way that state of mind and washington thank you . all right let's get the view now from turkey correspondent doreen jones reporting for us in istanbul dorian turkey's foreign minister has said further pressure will only hurt bilateral ties he's vowed retaliation but how much worse can relations get while the potential is to get a lot worse currently u.s. forces are working with a syrian kurdish militia just across turkey's border turkey considers that militia a terrorist organization and if they so wish they could put a lot of pressure on those u.s. forces and the kurdish militia they're working with that would ratchet up tensions further on top of that washington is looking for ankara to enforce its new sanctions against iran and cry out for a few so do so given the current climate is unlikely to change that stance that again puts the two nato allies on a collision course potentially is for a lot more difficult times ahead. turkish currency tanking for months now but investors seemed really concerned now inflation as it nearly sixte

white supremacist rally in washington d.c. fizzled out on sunday after only a handful of neo nazis showed up this premises were massively outnumbered by hundreds of counter protesters the rally was held on the first anniversary of a demonstration in charlottesville virginia where one woman was killed. i think hundreds of people marching through washington to condemn racial hatred the year after a white supremacist rally in charlottesville ten deadly these counter-demonstrators far outnumber the white nationalist protest which is also being held in the u.s. capital yes it's vital that. we don't allow white supremacist and open fascists to take the street uncontested i don't want nazis and white supremacists to speak for me i thought it was important to come out so that there's other voices to counteract them in this empowerment of people who think that their copper is in the conference suit was e.s.d. because rights is the way out of line and because of a skin tone is a really big unless. the group of around twenty white nation

the suburbs of washington dc. let's go to brad from north carolina. prefer that trump did the -- put a freeze on the wages for federal workers. i've got another comment. the guy before, he was bragging about how the economy grew at 3.5% over inflation from world until say, 1980, when reagan became president. well, why didn't you ask him what the tax rate was then? in.as 91% until jfk got he cut it to 71%. then reagan came in, he cut i t way, way down. it seems to me they are going in the opposite direction of everything. host: thank you. chris, a federal worker in our nations capital. caller: hi. host: yes, good morning. caller: i am a federal worker and it probably comes as no surprise that i support as getting a pay raise. trump'sally think that motivation is not based in economics but in the fact that he does not have a tremendous amount of support amongst the people who live in washington dc which is where a large portion of the federal workforce is. a pattern ofs made only helping out those who support him and i think that is really what is motiv

for instance, washington is a small. that is true. i do not know that it is being drained right now, but it is a swamp, and it has been for a long time. as i see it,pitch, and it was wrapped in other stuff that you might like or might not like, but that was the policy pitch. since then, i have seen three kinds of disruptions since president trump became president. the first one is a policy kind of disruption, tariffs to push back on trade. border security, pushing back on what basically is going on at the border. tnd questions about wha the role of the u.s. should be when it comes to foreign worse overseas. i find nothing outrageous about any of these policy disruptions. i think they are perfectly legitimate debates to have. are perfectly legitimate discussions to have, and in some cases my personal view, as somebody who wrote a book about afghanistan, i think we should be debating and discussing a lot more than we what the role of our fighting men and women should be, because they give so much and we spend so little time honoring it

we have everythingou need to know on our nbc washington app. >> a tragic update tonight to a shooting at a fredericksburg mcdonald's. 19-year-old ken troyia fletcher paaway. fletcher was gunned down yesterday afanrnoon. ony ellis then sped off in a stolen truck. a fewhourslarity, police found him in a wooded area miles away from the fast food restaurant. officers say he shot and killed. authorities believe fletcher knew her killer. >>> the redskins kicked off preseaso against the patriots tonight. >> yeah, not the start that anybody but a big injury to talk about heir young e of stars a fan favorite. sherree burruss joins us with we could have only ended it at the half, sherree orrruss. >> rr: yeah, it was a tale of two halves. tonig the redskins have a full plate after their first pre-season game here at gillette stadium against the patriots. it really did feel kind of good to be back in aootball stadium and not just talking about practice and watching them hit each her. but certainly the work is going to continue this weekend. alex smith and tom brady both getting the night off. smi

i'm right in downtown washington. they call this freedom plaza. down my street over my shoulder the u.s. capitol and between me and the capitol the trump international hotel. we are literally depending on the time of day and the season of the year in the shadow of that tower for the trump hotel. about 1,000 people gathered here. that was the permit they got from the park service, from the d.c. police. we have heard speeches all day. there are all points of the political spectrum of the left side everyone in socialists to communists, to those more towards the center. all united in one belief -- fighting fascism, fighting the white supremacist message and march and they're all marching up the street. it's a block and a half, to lafayette park which is at a 1600 pennsylvania avenue. just across from the white house. the killing of heather heyer one year ago in charlottesville is weighing heavily on their minds here. a lot of people are out there because they're outraged over what's happened. you had that discussion just a moment ago with omarosa on "

in washington d.c. there were far more counter protesters who converged on the city to stand against the white nationalist message of exclusion and white supremacy a lot of these people here came from all over the country and there were several hundred more than there were actual white nationalists who came to protest for their cause but a lot of the people here told me that they fear that the tide has not turned since last year in charlottesville when heather higher was killed they fear that white nationalism is still on the rise in the country fueled in part by a president who refuses to speak explicitly out against it. you know his bias waiter there reporting from washington now to some of the other stories making news around the world today officials from north and south korea have agreed to hold a third summit between their leaders some time before the end of september decision came during a fresh round of high level talks relations fall further between the two countries the meeting is taking place

the snuffing you coming out of washington at the end of the day. i think that's an interesting point because i think we have seen previous administrations try to get very tough on iran we certainly have seen that for example with the george w. bush administration when they even considered regime change we saw it with the obama administration when in fact you know they took a fairly tough line to lead up to the two thousand and fifteen agreement but the huge difference here is is that. there was cooperation between those administrations and between partners such as the europeans and indeed between russia and china who were other parties to the agreement because you knew the rules you knew you could work with the state department you knew you could work with the national security council there was an element of trust here what has happened is that a combination of certain officials in washington such as the national security advisor john bolton who is committed to regime change and just the volatile nature of donald trump who has very little knowledg

george washington, monroe, and pierce, are the three presidents. there are several pieces of furniture in the house that franklin and jane took to the white house to furnish the eight rooms that were to be used for their personal life. one is the sofa over here under the portrait. the table in the center of the room was known as the white house table in his sister's family. so evidently they were bothering furniture from friends and relatives to help furnish these eight rooms. over against the wall is it a little writing desk and chair that belonged to franklin pierce. and he would be up until 3:00 in the morning sometimes answering correspondence and writing speeches sitting in the little chair here. and this room, this is the dining room of the frank link pierce house, and in this room we have the secretary from pierces war office. when he was through with it, he gave it to his law partner, josiah, and it was in that family when the house opened, so they very generously gave it to the brigade to demonstrate his law practice. this is how it opened

then, faced with going to washington to run the country. it was a stressful and difficult time in their lives. pierce's presidency had a few successes. he reduced the national debt by 60%. he had trade agreements with canada on fishing treaties. the trade with japan opened up. admiral perry came back and we trade agreements with the japanese. the southern border of the united states was defined by the gadsden purchase during his time. the army and the navy was modernized under the secretary of war, jefferson davis, who went on to be the president of the confederacy during the civil war. pierce was a lawyer. he felt slavery should be handled with an act of congress. there should be legislation that would prohibit it. he was not in favor of it but he was afraid the country would split over that. his focus when he was president was to keep the country together. ofunderstood the hardships fighting the revolution was to create the country. he was trying to keep it together. it did split after lincoln was elect. franklin pierce had one term in of

george washington wanted the carving.>> it's decorativel because george washington wanted the carving. he got it. the stone masons gave him what he wanted. there were two of them who remained. they carried out this incredible out of style carving. it's so beautiful. it is carved with lilies and flowers and acorns. it's very lush over the front door. it's probably. the columns they did, cresting the columns, it's not gaudily done. when you walk down the street on pennsylvania avenue, you don't really see the carving. it's too far from you. you see the bulk of the house. the carving is really special. they are usually flat like a dogwood. that's what you usually find on the classical column. thee these are lush with lots of petals. in the 1780s, the scotts propagated a rose, double rose. it's called the scottish double rose. it swept europe like crazy. everybody had to have one. 12k3 >> the house was completed in 1800 and then the british had something to say about it not long after. what happened in the war of 1 2 1812? >>

it isa day in washington, so to speak. it is a day which will be tugging on the hearts of many people in the city. yes, there is no doubt about it. we are hearing from both sides of the aisle, former presidents, both republican and democrat, offering condolences and is very clearly stating what a remarkable senator and statesman john mccain was. i can tell you as a journalist, those of us who interviewed him over the years, he was always available for quotes. he had an encyclopaedic knowledge about what was going on in the world. he was the chair of the very powerful armed services committee. and most remarkably, in recent months, and in the past couple of years, he was the most prominent republican willing to take on, directly, donald trump, both during the campaign and during president trump's administration as well. let's touch on a couple of thoseissues well. let's touch on a couple of those issues in terms of global affairs. i know that many world leaders will knowjohn mccain from his frequent trips to various countri

you have to understand that washington d.c. there are numerous demonstrations through the years and washington d.c. in any one coming year may handle about it doesn't or more. they are prepared for this demonstration. liz: they are at different locations. obviously when kidneys groups can mean. how do authorities prepare for that and keep them separated for two large groups? >> what they are going to do is count on two things today. there are a lot of barriers in place to keep these two groups separated. the second thing from what i understand if they may have a large amount of rain coming in here this afternoon and that will be certainly something that may temper these two groups in the way they get together. liz: when we looked at charlottesville, people would use anything for weapons, even the most grotesque items. do you see this as a district or there is not one way and in one way out. how are please making sure that items such as cancer aerosols or other things are being used. >> they have all sorts of sent to the detecti

not george washington. he blasts the decision of the washington presidency especially the treaty that was just confirmed or ratified by the senate. so that i i think help to destroy paine reputation as well. monroe really says nothing about slavery i think jefferson early in his career was the flow of slavery and work to eliminate the slave trade and i think that was the first step to ending slavery in virginia and that all changes after the revolution but paine did publish some short essays attacking slavery and certainly paine and jefferson were on the same page when it came to representation and assembly. jefferson drafted a constitution for virginia but it came into play to be considered by the assembly in 1776 but the impact and essence he proposed universal manhood suffrage to give land to all those in virginia that would qualify them under the property qualifications and went beyond that to formally propose that they be given the right to vote and certainly paine is writing the same thing against the
