of george washington. he talks about the serendipitous moment when lawrence returns and his bags are packed, he's on his way to go to england to join the military, when lo and behold, there's the love of his life standing over there, and they get married, and live happily ever after for a few years. that is probably not what happened. it is probable that augustine washington was having a bowl of punch with william fairfax one evening, they knew they were kin, they understood the importance of connecting family mergers through marriage, and they arranged the marriage of lawrence with fairfax's oldest daughter, ann. lawrence comes back, his bags are packed, he's ready to go to england and join the military -- this is the woman you are marrying and this is how it's going to work, and they married. they had several children. lawrence knew, he had plenty of opportunity to commune with his father, he knew what the heritage of the lawrence family was. he knew the relationships. he probably knew who henry of south

washington. we will return to this painting again as we go forward. the painting became as i wrote in my notes it became an engraving. edward savage wrote about that and actually told washington he made 10,000 dollars dollars on it. i think that was almost cheeky of savage to say that he was making money on washington. but this picture and washington ordered four engravings, you can see one of them at mount vernon. i'll love to think about that when i'm at met mount vernon. i going to the breakfast room and there is george washington and his family looking down on the table where george washington and his family used to take their breakfast. it's almost like the morton salt girl going down. i do think it's a magnificent thing graving. an extremely important in the history of the country. it was popular because this picture represented what the picture was. we will have more to talk about and that painting in a minute. we have to talk about what washington was up against. his chief desire was to p

washington made it clear that his slaves, washington's slaves would be free. most of the of the slaves at mount vernon were owned by martha and brought to the marriage from her former union. martha was not at all happy about freeing slaves. she did not think that was a good idea. so there is some evidence that she was a little grumpy about her dead husband doing this which she had not done. i'm sorry, i don't know that she freed her slaves later but i can't comment knowledgeably about that. >> professor, i have read your wonderful book. >> thank you. >> there so many things in it in addition to what you've talked to tonight. one thing i don't remember you covering is that he was gone for a significant period of time on these trips, while the pace of government is different than it is today, did anything go wrong or did anything happen that he had to fix when he got back? >> is a question i thought about because it seemed to me that raises a very difficult issue of constitutional law that to mine knowledge no one has thought about. when washington left on his l

washington? >> and who is taking on not just democrats but leaders of our own party? that is what we have to do, we have to stand with the american people against the bipartisan corruption of washington and the way that we win the general is very simple. we run a populist campaign of hard-working men and women. people who want to believe in the promise of america and we run it against the bipartisan corruption of washington that is embodied by hillary clinton. >> [inaudible] >> good question. how do i plan to demolish america's debt? i like your choice of verb. let me step back for a minute and tell a story. in 2012, i spoke at the republican national convention in tampa. i talked about our national debt and our two little girls caroline and catherine. when i got back to the hotel room at 1:30 a.m. and began looking at twitter, it turned out that paula poundstone the comedian was watching that night , i guess she had nothing better to do. she sent a tweet and said, ted cruz just said that when hi

that george washington patronized washington college so much that he was trying to erase this stigma that followed him. you would think founding the nation of the united states would erase any stigma that was there, but, ron, i won't question your scholarship. so washington was among the largest donors to our school when it opened to 1782 as the first college chartered in the independent united states. and he also served as one of our original trustees. several of his present-day successors are here with us this evening and i would like to recognize them. would all of the current and former members of the board please rise to be recognized. [ applause ] founding idea was an innovative one. it was that they would take this ancient tradition of the liberal arts and adapt to the values and necessities of the young american republic teaching not just classical literature and philosophy, but american history. you may wonder what american history there was to teach in 1782, but we'll let that go.

and the fresco of washington and a note that washington also appears in the surrender of cornwallis in the rotunda's pre-american history. it was not complete at the time of his death. the relationship of these images to each other, and to the built environment that houses them warrants further exploration , which this paper will provide by demonstrating how their form, content, and placement accord with the architectural transition from the lower earthbound section of the rotunda to the more cosmic orientation of its dome. secondarily, it addresses the importance of roman precedents for these works of art in the overall scheme of the rotunda. 1824 marked the completion of the capital's first dome, a double wood and copper structure whose exterior experience departed radically from the original plan. however, vaulting, adhered more closely to his conception, resulting in a rotunda of the height and width that reproduced the proportions but not scale of the pantheon. under the direction of architects, and with considerable input from trumbull, an amateur architect as well as painter, th

he was in washington and considering a run for office. mary thought jack was too green, too untested for the presidency. she was an ardent at least evenson supporter, and she thought that kennedy might get there but she thought it was perhaps too soon to fast but by the time he actually did announce a run, she became quite a solid supporter. he was the kind of politician that her father growing up in boston had always hoped to see, boston politicians when mary was growing up were florid to say the least. mayor curley soared one of his terms while doing some time in a boston jail. this was the politics that mary had kind of got to know and loved. jack kennedy was articulate, quick honesty, incredibly literate. he mixed that kind of hard-nosed, backroom austin politics with a sense of higher calling, and she really saw that as an enormous accomplishment. accomplishment. >> was at the 1960 campaign that won her over or was it after that? >> it was a 60 campaign and i think was in the run up to the 60 campaign when they had a lot of back and

and it didn't come from washington. washington despised ronald reagan. by the way, if you see a candidate who washington embraces, run and hide. it came from the american people and it turned this country around. we went to millions lifted out of poverty in the prosperity in the american dream. we went from hostages in iran to winning the cold war and tearing the berlin wall to the ground. why am i so optimistic? because the same thing is happening again. all across this country, people are waking up. the washington elites despise him. i kind of thought that was the whole point of the campaign. listen, if you think things in washington are doing great, then we need to keep headed in the same, basic direction, just fiddling around the edges, then i ain't your guy. on the other hand, if you think washington is fundamentally broken, that there is a bipartisan corruption of career politicians of both parties that get in bed with the lobbyists and special interests and grow and grow and grow government and we need to take power out of washington and back to w

are washington correspondent philip crowther was listening in and joins us now from washington. a very early good morning to you . we heard barack obama sounding optimistic and at times almost lighthearted as he was getting that address. it is certainly a president who is pretty happy that this was his last state of the union address. he does like these big speeches, and this is a possibility that this was his last nationally televised speech, the one at the democratic national convention notwithstanding. the president was optimistic and believed he had plenty to say about what has happened in the united states, and during the last seven years he is not necessarily as optimistic about the future as he is about his analysis of his legacy. he believes that the united states is doing a lot better than it did seven years ago. them --ples -- some of fact thatacts, the joblessness in the united states is still dropping. he says the economy is a lot better off than when he got into the white house seven years ago. he also mentioned health care reform as well, which is still an example

washington, dc got saw total was 17 point eight inches, but the washington post reports that number falls short compared with other spots in the area. so why the difference in numbers? the post reports weather observers at regan national airport, where the record is recorded, used an improvised technique and lost their snow-measuring device midway through the blizzard. a national senior weather observer stood by the accuracy of the reading, saying his team did the best it cound under tough conditions. the snow was so bad in areas outside of d-c, even emergency vehicles needed help getting around. here in arlington an abulance got stuck in the snow. luckily a national guard tanker was able to pull the vehicle free. and other people ditched the cars all together and traveled by sled. this is also from arlington. you can see a dog pulling two kids in a sled their sled. talking money now, many businesses are feeling the economic effects from the storm. experts say the weekend economic impact of up to 850-million dollars. they say restauarants, theaters, other entertainment venues, and retaile

mean, washington lives a long time. he lives for most of the 18th getury, and through him you not only this land policy that i have been talking about, but this civilization policy for the indian people. when i first got the idea for ead a lot ofi r george washington biographies. most of what i read about george washington and the indians in ohio country when he was the young man, he followed this that was kind of it in many cases. that everyrealized time and those biographers talked about land or western land, you can just put out western and put in indian, and then the whole book was about indians. a was a surveyor, he was speculator, you know, he cut his teeth in indian country, but he was there for a reason. and theon of the west indian land was that it would become american real estate, whether it is owned by george washington or if it is the nation's territory. that is a fundamental story. but i also think that he is obviously a complex character. he wrestles with a lot of issues and dilemmas that plague american

mainly because washington got involved with it. now washington is out of it. it's up to tennessee and washington and every state to decide for themselves what their academic standards ought to be. same with teacher evaluation. i was in year and a half brawl with the national education association as governor where we paid teachers more for teaching well. it came by one vote in our state senate. when ecame to washington a few years ago, people said senator alexander is going to want every state to do that. they were wrong about that. the last thing we should do is tell states they must evaluate teachers and how to evaluate teachers. it's hard enough to do without somebody looking over your shoulder. too much washington involvement has made it harder to have higher standards and harder to evaluate teachers. i believe that we're changing that this week. i dealing with a democratic senator last night who plans to vote for the bill. he said he would have been given me five to one odds that we wouldn't been able to pass this bill. why are we at the point where we ar
