in george washington's farewell address written with alexander hamilton, he said: of all the dispositions and habits, which lead to political prosperity, religion, and morality are indispensable supports. in vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness. the firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. what we believe our love of god, family, and country. these aren't trite relics of the past, but at the very core of who we are as americans. this show is going to be about all of this. and certainly the political, the legal, and the cultural battles of the day. but, something more. how all of that affects your life and that of your family's. i take all of this very personally. i'm doing this because i care about what happens to this country, to our children, and our children's children. now, there will be times where you disagree with me and sometimes vehemently so. i'm sure you will let me know. all i'll say is i'm going to call it as i see it as i have done for the last 20 years. i'm going to get answers for you

hamilton, it's a question really of violating your trust with the constitution and the american people. and the one that traditionally has been used is when you're obstructing justice which mr. trump definitely did when he fired the head of the fbi for trying to investigate him with regards to his ties to russia. so from the standpoint of high crimes and misdemeanors, i think people should go back to the original text, understand what the framers of the constitution were describing and understand that historically this president is more than met that, that line in the sand. >> yeah. should democrats run on if you put us in charge of the house we'll impeach donald trump? do you think that's a winning message for democrats? >> you know, i'm not doing this from a cynical, political standpoint, joy. i believe that our country is at risk and i believe we should be telling the truth about this. so i'm not really doing the calculation of looking at polls and trying to figure out what's tactical right now. i believe that americans should stand up for what's right and i don't know what that mea

we start it when alexander hamilton, he a broadway thing, proposed to solve the economic problems of the new nation with a fiscal plan, which included a bank of the united states. washington, as was his custom, whenever he had a difficult decision to make would call upon his cabinet for their advice. when the plan for the bank of the united states can't of, he asked both jefferson and hamilton to submit papers. jefferson said you cannot do it because there is nothing in the constitution that specifically gives the federal government the power to establish a bank. according to jefferson, where a phrase will bear in the routine of means, once you give that which will allow some meaning to the other parts of the instrument are not that which would render all the others useless. as to the necessary and proper clause, it did not give congress a free hand. the constitutional congress, he claims, had not been intended to give congress broad powers but too laced them up straightly within the enumerated powers. in other words, the federal government had very limited powers. it could only do t

it is the senate's duty, as alexander hamilton laid out in the federalist papers, to prevent the appointment of unfit characters. i have often thought that this power would be used rarely because a president would seek to make sure that he or she sent qualified individuals to the senate for confirmation but we're seeing something quite different today. we're seeing the president engaged in a zeal to pack the court with extreme right-wing ideologues and to ram them through this confirmation process without due review. just yesterday, the american bar association sent a letter to the judiciary committee, saying that leonard graz, president trump's nominee to the eighth circuit court of appeals, is not qualified to serve as a federal judge, and yet his confirmation hearing is scheduled for this week. putting extreme and unqualified people on the court is a disservice to the american judiciary. it impacts the protection of fundamental rights, fundamental american rights for generations to come. it's simple for us to have a conversation about what is going on at this moment. just this week, we ha
