and he knows washington's affinity for frugality. washington says, ok. then later, he finds out that he is maybe taking a few more liberal interpretations of the design. adding things, he is eventually dismissed. his replacement will not stick around very long. this is a drawing for thornton when he comes into the picture. he is very cultured, he is a product of the enlightenment, and i think in many ways, even though he realized being connected to george washington would give the ascendancy of the national capitol. but i think washington admired his intellectual ability. washington did not have a classic formal education. he was a surveyor self trained, , a businessman, self trained. but he did not have any formal education as thorton. i think he was impressed by thorton's design and later, he thought, who better to come in as a new paid commissioner to make sure this design sees fruition than the person who actually did it? another good plan. this is one of stephen hallet's drawings that originally he was tinkering with with the commissioners but they

washington are married. as an honor graduate, margaret murray plays a major role in the institutes growth. in addition to supervising the institutes women's programs, she helps to organize self-help groups for black women in the town of tuskegee. as her husband becomes increasingly concerned with fundraising and political activities that take them away for long times, mrs. washington becomes an expansion of his presence on campus. from the standpoint of black survival in the hostile racial climate of the south, the diplomatic skill can be seen at a national and local level. >> worries me. he can be trusted.

announcer: washington, d.c.'s first synagogue, dedicated in 1876, was saved and demolition -- saved from demolition in the 1960's, and the building has been moved three times. most recently on january 29, 2019. planners expect this location to be its permanent home. where the synagogue will be incorporated into a capital jewish museum, currently under construction. next on american history tv, elected officials, museum staff, rabbis, and the national endowment for the humanities chairman hold a press conference as the synagogue completes its block long the move in the background. this is about a half-hour. >> welcome, and thank you for joining us today at the future home of the lillian and albert

washington was never the first stop for jewish families when they were coming to washington. they came to other ports of entry like philadelphia, new york, or baltimore before coming to washington. the next thing is one of the more exciting things. when we received it it was a highlight for me. it is this notebook that was used at harvard law school in 1877. it's one of his notebooks from studying evidence. he was first in his class at harvard and was appointed to the supreme court by woodrow wilson. he was the first jewish justice appointed to the court. his confirmation was highly contested. it was on the basis of his judaism and progressive ideals. he had public confirmation hearings that were rather extended. he was subject to forms of anti-semitism. he remained on the bench until 1939. this notebook was given to us by his grandson, frank gilbert, who is the past president of the jewish historical society and very active with it. we love to tell stories. this is one of those in the first of a string of jewish justices. one of the most recent things we received was this be

he idolized george washington. washington was his major supporter. when thornton would speak for the idea for the model of the city being important, and being a grand model, he had the president'sd ex support. he manage the building of a three-story building on capitol hill for the president. george washington had decided to invest in washington real estate. he built two buildings which he would rent out to congressman. in the process, thornton, who oversaw the keeping of the books and the building and the contractors and labor problems, it he dealt with all of that. trust,ed washington's which is perhaps more important to him personally than the job. because he really idolized washington as the man who stepped down from being caesar, and also as the first president who stepped down a second time. he idolized him andhe idolized s was a man who had his back and he would do everything he could to support him. he and anna maria became friendly with washington's granddaughters. the other one of whom married thomas law, whose house stands near the, whatev

george washington had decided to invest, as everybody else had, in washington real estate. he built two buildings which he would rent out to congressman. -- congressmen when they came to congress. in the process, thornton, who oversaw the keeping of the books and the building and the contractors and labor problems, he dealt with all of that for washington and gained washington's trust, which is perhaps more important to him personally than the job. having washington's trust, because he really not only idolized washington as the man who stepped down from being caesar, but also the first president who stepped down a second time. first he stepped down as commander-in-chief, then he stepped down as president. he idolized him and felt this was a man who had his back and he would do everything he could to support him. he and anna maria also became friendly with martha washington's grand daughters, one of them who married mr. peter's son, we will see their house this afternoon, the other one married thomas law, whose house stands near the, whatever it is. four quick manner -- fort

washington's portrait but keeps it unfinished. the original ought to be mrs. washington's. i admire his genius and abilities, but his inattention to the family certainly was ungrateful after the general sat so repeatedly. that would be a signal consolation. we have heard why. how strongly thorton felt after the death of washington. thorton goes on to refer to the other life portrait by stuart, known as the lansdowne portrait, full-length, it was sent to london in 1796. it is now at the portrait gallery in washington. he says, make me a promise you will not take the original out of the country. you know there is a full-length. therefore, another original is of less consequence than here. promise me to deposit the original here, if it be the original of originals. stuart has sold many originals. he wrote respecting his request to obtain a velvet suit. winstanley probably had arrived by july 5. we do not have a portrait of him. he probably had arrived when mrs. thorton noted the boxes came. they contained a likeness by stuart. we think this is the portrait. he called and borro

washington was his biggest supporter, it was washington who got him connected within the washington family to build those private residences, oakwood lawn, tutor place. but probably the most interesting turn in their relationship occurs after washington passes away. so his funeral is a few days later at mount vernon, december 18 by invitation, and thorton later claims that in 1920s when he is sort of writing his reflections, he is telling these stories about arriving at mount vernon and he really recommended that washington be placed in a leaden coffin. now his idea was that someday, his remains will be moved. but what most people do not realize is that right after washington's death, there was a resolution put through congress to essentially erect a mausoleum, a tomb or george washington along with an accompanying statue in the capitol rotunda. there we go. okay so now he's dying. he's passing away. they had called three different doctors, james craig, who was also a scottish physician. practicing though. he came, gustavus brown came, and elijah: deck. so those three doctors descended upo

capital against economic hardship calling on the president to step down but there's been no reaction from washington unlike similar unrest in venezuela just across the caribbean sea. the u.s. . says cheney should use its leverage to keep the kremlin and line has a new poll finds the skeptical about relations with washington the world has become more tense policies it's the politics of provocation we've lost some of the respect we heard with us due to its foreign policy. hands in the u.s. accusations of hate speech are afraid that the author of a column in the l university's newspaper in which she calls on students to look out the sexist behavior among white males. is just ten four pm hit and most scary of watching us saying international. the top story venezuela has been making the headlines to several weeks ever since opposition. declared himself interim president now some fifty countries recognize him and support his bid to oust venezuelan president nicolas maduro. meanwhile just across the caribbean sea thousands of protests today in the haitian capital against economic hardship and pessimists an

washington. any of you familiar between the debate between washington the boys and alex todd, forget it, a very good book written by jeff correll about that. washington is the enabler of the modern civil rights movement, he is not depicted in that way, that was precisely his plan, at the turn-of-the- century, washington said someday we will probably have a black president, he said that in 1900, when it is one of the worst times in american history for african-americans. washington's idea is, he's fighting jim crow, fighting disfranchisement, bringing multiple court suits secretly, but at the same time, very publicly pushing for self-help, property rights, entrepreneurship and in great part because washington we are able to build up a lack middle- class, black business class, and they are able to provide a foundation for civil rights. also coming out of that middle class, we have mutual aid organizations, they provide leadership skills, to later activists. without washington building that economic

fall into washington's orbit and from washington as its each to effect what is a colonial overcome to the many problems of the said venezuela this is not nothing more than an attempt to interfere in a stolen tea over nation state and it's all about america wanting its country back for the cause for trump and his crew are venezuela's rightful place has always been and will always be a wholly owned subsidiary of the us and us or corporations what i want to jump in because i think your leading me to my next point we're now we're now registering six european countries voicing their support for their self-proclaimed leader of one why don't why do you think these six have suddenly jumped to the front. because that because they want to do in the favor of washington they want to extend themselves in a shoot in washington that the they are a safe bet when it comes to supporting us foreign policy and really does so so speak to the fact that the problems in you don't have never been russia or russian influence they have always been america and american influence and not continue to this deal wit

security council resolutions on the venezuelan crisis after wards moscow and washington discussed the situation in a phone call artie's correspondent khalid mop and has more. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov recently had a phone call with mike pompei o the u.s. secretary of state now in the phone call from what we understand russia's top diplomat warned washington against any attempts to intervene in venezuela's internal affairs including military intervention which would violate international law now folks will recall that last week at the united nations there was actually a resolution put forward by the united states and survey last spoke up saying that that resolution was essentially a pretext for u.s. military interventionism because the u.s. draft resolution on venezuela is aimed at conceding a planned provocation as humanitarian aid would destabilize the country it might even provide a pretext for military intervention the u.n. security council will never accept this kind of resolution now after that we saw russia put forward its own resolution calling to express concern

george washington. and yet since then i feel like she's sort of been left out of history. >> reporter: she wants to put her back with a love story that begins in 1756 as the newly minted french and indian hero, colonel george washington is passing through new york. he stops for a party in his honor, possibly atips manner, a man nger when he meets the heiress who lives there, sparks fire. was george washington sexy? >> george washington was a stud in the 1700s. are you can kidding me? women wanted a touch of him, it's said. >> reporter: if this guy has fallen for this heiress, why doesn't he make plans to take some leave, go check on this potential love of your life? >> george washington requests time off, 10 days, 12 days, 14 days and writes to his commander. he's denied every time. >> reporter: when mary married a british officer, he quit his command, perhaps changing the course of history. >> they really took away his freedom to follow his heart. >> reporter: she grew up in yonkers and married to the

that was george washington. and that's the kind of person americans wanted as their president in the early days of the republic in what i call the augustan age, from george washington up to john quincy adams before the united states became a democracy, a system in which president actually exercised political power. ordinary people did not elect george washington. ordinary people did not even elect the electors who chose george washington. according to the constitution, you'll read that each state shall select electors. it doesn't say how. they get to choose how. until the 1820's, most state legislatures chose the electors not the voters in that state. and in that era americans expected the presidents to stand above them. no one wanted george washington to be just one of the gang. and this is why washington could get away with giving that reaction to gouverneur morris because it really served his purposes to be this one who held himself apart from everybody else because that's what americans anted. the presidency

place in washington, d.c. the place had plenty of construction shacks left over after the reconstruction of the capital. there is no visual representation of what happened. you have to rely on sickles version of what happened. catalyst for this interview was he adjusting the former senator walk by him on the street while sickles was talking to a reporter. this is a dramatic reading so i've asked my friend to read the parts. this is a dramaticthis is a sicf what happened. i twist my way in. save. to he is in this house. i played the piano. a conversation with the man's voice behind the curtain. resorted to a weapon and burst into tears. as the hour nears 4:00, bring him to me. oh no. it is not showing up in the dialogue. patrick is going to explain the role. basically, it would do no good. said in effect that you have decided to destroy him. he will come to nothing. he will die in the streets. vinnie said we will support him. sorry about that, it doesn't show off your.

security council is unlikely to accept washington's resolution on venezuela. because the u.s. draft resolution on venezuela is aimed at concealing a planned provocation as humanitarian aid would destabilize the country it might even provide a pretext for military intervention the un security council will never accept this kind of resolution syria lever of said he's planning to discuss venezuela with the e.u. use top diplomats federica materially in the upcoming days more green ahead of the e.u. delegation at a venezuela concert group conference in europe why that was designed to foster dialogue the result however was a one sided document according to a lot of. the contact group that the e.u. created with latin american states has approved a document that contains no will to me tims which had initially been proposed by some e.u. members but rather focuses on unilateral support for the opposition. the us state department asked the russian foreign ministry to organize a meeting on tuesday sergey lavrov said the issue of venezuela could come up in the conversation with his america

and across the country is quite a life polarization continues in washington stuff and siemens our washington correspondent thank you so much for now. and we've got some further developments coming out of hanoi where that u.s. north korea summit is taking place our correspondent boston heartache is standing by for us and we hear there's been a change of plans what's happening. absolutely terry there's been an interesting turn of events just a minute ago we said that the two were having lunch now we're hearing that apparently that's not the case with white house press secretary sara sanders said apparently that the two are still negotiating and that those negotiations will wrap up within the next thirty or forty five minutes and that president all trump will then head back to the hotel directly so it appears that there might not be a signing ceremony an agreement signing ceremony after all also because the press conference that was scheduled for four pm local time has been moved up to two pm so something's definitely up something's definitely not going as planned and we're all sitting tight wa

but we talked about "the washington post" earlier, "the washington post" and others got nixon during the watergate hearings and he's been tainted as president because of it. host: middle river, maryland, is next, walter, republican, go ahead. walter: good morning. mr. brinkley, i want to challenge you on a couple issues. first you said that "the washington post" was a act checker. i have to say they're a fact checker for the democrats. they're not a true fact checker because we've found them wrong many times the last couple years under the trump administration. especially when mr. trump had found out he'd been surveiled and wiretapped and all the things the f.b.i. was doing to him when the announcement was made a couple months ago, "the washington post" came and said no such thing happened it's a four pinocchio so please don't get on the high horse about "the washington post." it's driven by a democratic agenda, you know it, i know it, and anything trump says they say is a lie. so please be a little more fair. talking about lying presidents, my insurance went up under the a.c.a. abou

figure in washington saying yeah let's have a new day let's end the korean war once and for all let's normalize relations between the u.s. and north korea to the extent that he can oppose the headwinds that he faces succeed in overcoming them yes there could be a new day we're in vietnam there was a new day for vietnam when you were in the united states that can happen once again . it's another story we're closely following throughout the day the u.s. military has carried out its first offensive cyber operation against russia sources tell the washington post about the u.s. cyber command blocked internet access overseas to what they called a russian troll factory during the twenty eighteen midterm elections. we're breaking down the story for us this hour maria fanaa maria. yes hi you know it's is it is a very interesting story but we have to be very careful with that information basically what we have so far is a washington post article claiming that the u.s. military once managed to block internet access to one russian group known as the internet research agency on the day off the cou

i think that's exactly what is going on in washington. not everyone is going to like it when i say that. i wanted to put my finger on what the problem is. i didn't want to speak to generalities. >> you think there are enough republicans that subscribe to your brand of politics? fmr. gov. weld: we'll see. there are 20 states where the republican primaries are opened to the republican primary. i always benefited that in the massachusetts. >> [inaudible] fmr. gov. weld: it wasn't for want of trying. look at the scrum now. you may see as many as five from massachusetts before it's all over. >> four years ago, you urged people if they were not going to vote libertarian, vote hillary clinton. you feel hillary clinton would have been a better president right now? fmr. gov. weld: i don't know that. i did think and say at the time i thought there was a stability question about the man who is now the president, and nothing has caused me to see fit to change my opinion. >> how long are you set to explore? fmr. gov. weld: it depends on the response.

washington and also in washington the president's former personal lawyer says he's looking forward to in his words telling the truth about donald trump's contacts with russia and his alleged criminal conduct michael cohen has been giving testimony to the senate intelligence committee he's set to serve time in prison for lying to the committee in two of the seventeen wednesday i'll be giving public testimony on sensitive and potentially explosive topics at this point in time i really appreciate the opportunity that was given to me to clear the record and to tell the truth and i look forward to tomorrow to being able to in my voice to tell the american people my story and i'm going to let the american people decide exactly who's telling the truth. at least five people have been killed by a syrian government has strikes in college town in the rebel controlled province of idlib we're hearing the victims including three children and two women activists say intensified fighting his full thousands of civilians to flee many of moved to camps close to the turkish border russia and turkey had a

numerous people said washington is a dictator. back then, dictators, when people thought of dictators, they thought of roman dictators and they were the kind of people who assumed authority by virtue of a legislative decree and then gave back the authority when the crisis was over. so why was washington called sinsanatus, because there was a dictator that took authority and then retired to his farm afterwards. so the idea of a dictator wasn't necessarily a bad thing. it was only tyrannical dictators that were a bad thing. these governors and the commander in chief did not abuse the authority, but my point here is that, in these situations, it's the continental congress and the state legislatures that are conveying authority. and i want to say the same thing is true under our system. it's not that the constitution is a suicide pact. it's not that the constitution doesn't permit coke or the federal government to defend itself, it's that the authority rests with congress and not the president. congress has the authority to call forth

here in federal washington? we have an administration that's talked about infrastructure, we have proposals from both parties. and we're all frustrated and concerned that nothing is going to move in five months, six months, narrow the election cycle. what is the opt million conditions where we get something through politically in these challenging times? >> we are set up right now to get something done. if congress can come together -- >> this is our best scenario right now? >> you have an administration that has been supportive of infrastructure investment and has put out their own plan. you have a democratic-led congress where i think there is a willingness to, as we heard on the last panel, introduce something, and then hopefully the senate will come along and you will see folks there really try to work together to come up with a solution. i think again, fixing that highway trust fund is absolutely crucial. asking those questions, what do we want our transportation infrastructure to look like? what are the in

the answer i come to is back to washington. it's a government that works for those at the top and isn't working for anyone else. it's a government that works great. it works fabulously. for giant drug companies. just not for people trying to get a prescription filled. a government that works great for giant oil companies that want to drill anywhere. but not for people who see climate change bearing down upon us. it is a government that works great for investors in private prisons, but not for people whose lives are torn apart and for communities that are destroyed. when government works only for those with money, that is corruption. we need to call it out plane and simple. [applause] i want you to think for just a minute about the impact of this corruption. i guarantee it touches every single person in this room, every person in this state, every person in this country. whatever issue brought you here today, there is a decision about money, influenced by money, in washington that lies right at the center of blocking the actions

and therefore is a sort of radio silence between moscow and washington. at the same time when you look at v.x. true case of problems between the most prove you are you if. it's clear about this treaty is coming to an end. because of a lack of interest over both sides over. washington and of course rove sides i don't one true response really to anyone but do you think something to say they would like to see some free will or cold will to bush jr in one movement called reset of relations between moscow washington almost co and europe and for me visit need proof swords have made a series of mistakes misjudgments who have lost at least the last yeah i mean that as i understand of zero and with the. yeah we would talk a lot about why how both sides have made mistakes and how we should find common ground but at this point it just doesn't sing possible it out for many reasons that you've cited above right now what we have is we have the i.m.f. situation on our hands and it's not clear what's going to happen after the treaty is liquidated germany's foreign minist

in washington lost. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to be that's. actually going to be close this is what the four three of them can't be good that i'm interested in the waters about how. they sit. by the stand. for them what i saw. that i was shocked at the. there are drugs that you know that are for their kids. only. compatible and i'm catching the. kid and. i you lose a child for all that it. was. and that's out of. its hole full. of them and pay i think time in syria has said. from my law for them after that it will fuck around with mr hague to jim and then i hope that are ready for. big news and that kind of crypto as the currency continues to dominate global finance and put the us dollar into the graveyard yet. in venezuela two men claim to be in charge and countries around the world are lining up behind one of the other the country is in chaos venezuela holds the world's biggest oil reserves yet its inflation is now measu

humanitarian aid deliveries does this somewhat discredit what washington is doing on the border. because yes because what washington is doing is not humanitarian aid it is using food it's weaponized seeing humanitarian assistance with the explicit explicit desire to overthrow the government you know in the lives it's being told to the american viewer is that manure all is really rejecting humanitarian aid he just wants his people to starve as they said about gadhafi as they said about people like assad anyone who the u.s. regime targets for regime change or worse in the case of gadhafi this is what they say however as it is absolutely not true the russian aid has been coming through the u.n. aid has been coming through and in fact the red cross is furious that the opposition in venezuela are dressing like red cross volunteers while they burn up the aid that the u.s. is putting on the on the on the on the bridge. you know if we were if you were following the u.n. security council meeting actually the u.s. envoy to venezuela the u.n. spokesman earlier said that humanitarian aid sho

"the washington post" shouldn't be in his hands. look what "the national enquirer" turned up about him. before long there were signs that perhaps this story existed on more than one level at once. a report that bezos himself had launched a private investigation into what was behind this "national enquirer" story, what was behind their publication of his private text messages. yesterday "the washington post" had this headline, "was tabloid expose of bezos affair just juicy gossip or a political hit job?" if it was a political hit job, one potential implication of that kind would be that it was perhaps carried out by a.m. ito help president trump politically once again. by hurting or trying to take out of the equation somebody who trump perceives to be doing him political harm. i will tell you, there is also a saudi arabia component to this with "the national enquirer," which is a related but separate angle. we will get to that in a different part of tonight's show. >>> but now tonight this is how this all came together. mr. bezos ton
