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 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

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.

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

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

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

in washington. part of the reason was the reforms that the washington hebrew congregation was making. >> changes in ritual. using german or english instead of hebrew for some of the prayers. using different prayer books. and then they purchased an organ and that was really the final straw for the members who became off the congregation. >> 30 of those families broke off and came to create their own congregation, to really live the more traditional values of their german heritage. i think the amazing thing about this building is just how modest a structure it is. it is obviously very small in scale and it also has no adornment on the outside that really indicates this is a synagogue. this is a synagogue about a simulation and finding place in this new capital city. the only evidence which was found, years later, was this small stone piece that was at the front of the synagogue with hebrew letters on it. this was really the only marker that this was a synagogue. much more like a quaker meeting house o

but then he is following him from paris to new york to philadelphia to washington. wherever he was living he was always engaging somewhat in the architecture, tweaking and adjusting it to his needs or to his aesthetic needs as well. so the setting played a part in this presentation of self. so, these are some of the, the things that you might look for when you are thinking about then this gentlemanly display. and in jefferson's world, and i say, these were indications of status, right and character. they were a vocabulary into themselves and they could certainly be read, whether it is a european or an american, they certainly could read this visual signs. so these are the tools that he is working with. so as lord chesterfield wrote to his son, the letters of lord chesterfield, but he wrote to his son, the one quote that i chose here, says, "do you dress well, and not too well? do you consider your error and manner of your resenting yourself enough, and not too much? neither negligent nor stiff? all these things deserve a degree of care. a second rate attention. they

this is from the washington briefing at the washington examiner this weekend. the headline is all the president's acting secretaries. they said the number of cabinet departments without permanent chiefs is unprecedented. i understand andrew wheeler, the epa nominee, will get a hearing on capitol hill this week. what's behind the administration's thinking on perhaps slow walking some nominees or not having as many permanent secretaries. what's the story? is it truly unprecedented that we've had this many acting heads of departments? >> some people that i've talked to said it is unprecedented to have this many. the idea of an acting secretary is not unusual. usually it happens a lot in the beginning of an administration. you're trying to get people confirmed through the senate and you need somebody to do the job until that person is confirmed by the senate. to have six people at this point in the administration, the president in his third year, is a lot. when asked about it, the president says he likes the actings because they give him flexibility. but he hasn't

would seem that washington would like to see europe take up it would seem that washington will take up some of this what would washington would like europe to take up some of the slack when it comes to them pulling out in northern syria basically the united states wants europe to put some of its own boots on the ground i can't really see that being palatable to angola merkel and others as well many european countries especially germany have been reticent when it comes to sending their own military to syria or even taking part in military activity in the country at all now the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov also chipped in on mike pence his comments about this to say . three guards or other plants by countries that are in syria illegitimately especially plans to get even more legitimate players there i don't think this would be helpful. while taking questions from journalists mr lavrov bristled when he was asked about alleged atrocities committed by the syrian government. the follow up question on syria this comes from josh rogin of the washington post how will you view ensure t

washington has statues of lincoln. a thomas ball statue, the emancipator is already in washington. the centennial commission is determined to build a temple to honor lincoln. this is the man they choose to do it. he looks very much like a businessman. this was when he joined the board of my alma mater, the metropolitan museum of art. he agreed to be its curator, sculptor, he acquired art and as you see, very much the dignified fellow. -- over theing now decision of where to put this new statue. one of the choices is union station. this is the way it looked when it was built with not much around it. it was discarded because people thought if commuters and passengers came through they would not pay enough attention to a lincoln statue if it was near a railroad station. the next choice was at the base of the u.s. capital. we already had a plan for a great statue. what if we create a new avenue radiating from the capital and do it at the other end? that does not seem like a great idea either. the soldiers home, that would be a great place. lincoln spent a long time there. the same prob

putin added that washington is showing little enthusiasm. for many years we have proposed disarmament talks because our initiatives have not found the support of our partners in fact they always find a pretext for dismantling the global security system that's why i've asked all foreign and defense ministries to keep the door open for dialogue but also to initiate any talks on the issue. ok more details not cool things following this story first. so we know now that russia is also suspending its participation in this agreement what else have they said yeah well today the us officially suspends its participation in the i n f treaty and it's only one episode in throughout many years of fruitless talks with the us about disarmament and russia has decided that the time for empty talks is over russian president vladimir putin has said that the u.s. is refusal to heed previous russian calls for disarmament have is undermining international security basically and so a mare response is going to look not just like russia russia's participation stoppin

let's say political washington and energy or business washington or business u.s. i think mainly the political concern in washington that's shared i think by both the. trumpet ministration as well as many democrats in the congress is that europe and germany in particular is too much russian gas and that gas can be used as a political weapon as leverage to influence decision making in europe in fact as is the business and energy specialist recognize there has been a wholesale change in how both gas is regulated in europe by the e.u. as well as is in gas markets as you know very well in your and your watchers know the germans are moving to phase out coal production you have in the process of phasing out your nuclear production and indigenous european gas production is going down so germany and europe as a whole has to buy more gas abroad not only from russia but from norway from liquefied l.n.g. from the united states. gas from north africa so. north stream too is only part of a broader effort to provide more gas to europe and germany over the next twenty to thirty y

president tonight from hawaii to washington the question following the president who's telling the truth i'm bringing off in berlin this is the day. basically it is one of the sanctions lifted. out of the. two couldn't do that i don't think donald trump president trump could afford to do of course unquote that deal here in hanoi. they were willing to deal with the rich bush in. the areas that we want to deal with if you'll just get into it i'm not really that big here. but it is best as you remember we couldn't give up losing shoes for this so we continue to work and we'll see which we had to. walk away from that particular situation i wonder whether anyone ever reach agreement with the u.s. to do the work he did was a repair to do that probably it is very difficult for him to reach agreement because sooner or later it will be his and his family's. also coming up tonight almost annihilated by war in extremism a country and its culture are now being rescued digitally at that time i couldn't imagine that this this is beautiful in a manner it would be destroyed off to the east of. the pictu

or let's take the story now to washington where. is standing by for us. the testimony of michael cohen many people are saying that it will redefine the trump presidency do you agree. i think it depends on who you're going to ask there will be definitely a larger crowd now who would say exactly what you said that this will this testimony and what the beans mr cohen spilled about his former boss donald trump president all trump will change the perception of who donald trump is how the whole song got into the office and how he became president and it will also redefine his the rest of his presidency if he's not being reelected in two thousand and twenty however if you ask another. crowd or other people and those are predominantly republicans and still thirty percent of americans who actually voted for and are still considered the base for dollars from they would probably say nothing has changed mr cohen is a crook himself and not trustworthy whatsoever and trump is doing what he's doing on the behalf of the people who elected him and he's doing a pretty good

"washington journal" is next. declare that i am a candidate for president of the united states of america. ♪ massachusetts senator elizabeth warren, becoming the latest entry into the 2020 democratic residential base and another president -- another itator, amy klobuchar, makes official in minneapolis. we begin this sunday morning with a look at where the democratic party is and where it's going. by the way, congress returns this week with a friday deadline to reach a spending agreement. still an option for the another government shutdown appears unlikely. all through this week, the senate is expected to confirm william barr as the next attorney general. we begin with the state of the democratic party and your calls and comments on a week when two senators announced their intentions to seek the presidential nomination. we want to hear from democrats only and whether you think a party is heading in a more liberal direction and needs to be more moderate. that is how we have been dividing the phone lines. for those

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

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

post" in washington, d.c. which covers virginia politics. they had this story during the 2017 campaign when justin fairfax was running for lieutenant governor and they decided that they were going to ignore it because who could corroborate it? it was he said, she said. interesting note there though of course it was completely different standard when it came to the brett kavanaugh story and dr. christine blasey ford. but, furthermore, when lieutenant governor justin fairfax made his very first statement about these allegations last week, he not only said that the "the washington post" had the story, but they decided not to run with it because there were inaccuracies. he said that the "the washington post" had found discrepancies in the story. so lieutenant governor justin fairfax's very first statement on this contained a lie. "the washington post" actually denied there were any inaccuracies. right there you have quite a bit to talk about just in this one part of this story. >> tucker: what's interesting to me

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

true case of problems between washington and moscow vi you left treaty it's clear about this treaty is coming to an end. because of a lack of interest over both sides of. washington and of course karl rove sides i don't want to launch responsibility to anyone but do you think. to say anything other would like to see something bitter cold which bush drew up 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 over the last at least over the last decade yeah i mean that an understand of zero and with that a lot. 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 minister mr trying to talk washington into staying in there and after any but you know didn't work but what do

and they're basically saying that donald trump washington d.c. has long wanted to get rid of this agreement and starts a new arms race and that washington's blackmailing tactics of moscow puts it are not working it's just the latest in a series of u.s. lasher withdrawals isn't it roy from these sort of similar cold war era pacts. yeah this one has a very specific route to it there is a cruise missile that russia has been developing recently which russia calls the n nine nine seven to nine and what the united states has said is that this cruise missile has a range that puts it in violation of the iron there that that five hundred kilometers so five thousand five hundred kilometer. zone this missile basically falls somewhere in the middle of that russia says that's not true this missile is its range falls ten kilometers short of five hundred kilometers. or so before it basically says the united states has been violating the i.n.f. treaty as well ok many thanks for explaining a bit more about that treaty there. now a new report says freedom of expre

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

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
