craig gilbert, washington bureau chief from the milwaukee sentinel. i really appreciate your time. >> thanks, anytime. >> all right, if you think the day is coming when americans will have to leave the country in order to get something they're supposedly able to legally get here, if you think that is something that's sort of far fetched, if you think that's something we use as hyperbole but it doesn't happen, it's really happening. it's happening in the american south, and that amazing story is coming up. to supply affordable, cleaner energy, while protecting our environment. across america, these technologies protect air - by monitoring air quality and reducing emissions... ...protect water - through conservation and self-contained recycling systems... ... and protect land - by reducing our footprint and respecting wildlife. america's natural gas... domestic, abundant, clean energy to power our lives... that's smarter power today.

in norfolk, washington. paul ryan discussing his family. >> it's where i was born and raised and i never really left it. it's our home now. for the last 14 years, i have proudly represented wisconsin in congress. there i have focused on solving the problems that confront our country. my dad died when i was young. he was a good and decent man. there are a few things he would say that just always stuck with me. he'd say, son, you're either part of the problem or the solution. regrettably, president obama has become part of the problem and mitt romney is the solution. [ cheers and applause ] >> now, that was paul ryan in norfolk, virginia, at the unveiling. here we are in waukesha, wisconsin. they're waiting for him to speak here. now, why would governor romney decide to put ryan on the ticket? there is no question of his knowledge on the budget. governor romney wants a debate with the president of the united states about taxes, spending, about how to revive the economy, about how to cut the federal deficit. he

talking about how to wield power in washington today. so johnson becomes president, and you point out that he picks a small bill -- >> yes. >> that he wants to pass because he wants a clear victory. explain that. >> well, you know, congress has stopped presidents. after the supreme court packing fight of 1937, franklin roosevelt is never able to get a major piece of domestic social welfare legislation through congress. neither is truman. congress has stopped presidents. johnson picks -- when he comes in, he says, what -- the kennedys haven't even let him know what's going on in the legislative process about kennedy's simple rights bill. he has to say to ted sorenson, kennedy's aide, i don't know what's in the bill. i have to read it in "the new york times." he says, what's on the agenda? and the republican conservatives have introduced the bill that would limit the president's authority on a minor thing, a weak -- a weak deal with russia. johnson doesn't see it as minor because lyndon johnson is a legislative genius. he wants to teach co

peter doocy joining us live in washington. peter, good morning. has the president weighed in on the ryan ticket? what have we heard? >> reporter: we saw president obama briefly leaving his white house on the pay to chicago and he completely ignored governor mitt romney's selection of congressman ryan as his running mate but his campaign manager was not shy, saying as a member of congress, ryan rubber-stamped the reckless bush economic policies that exploded our deficit and crashed our economy. now the romney-ryan ticket would take us back by repeating the same catastrophic mistakes. the obama campaign also already released a tough new ad: ♪ >> the paul ryan medicare plan, turns medicare into a voucher system. >> the paul ryan budget, which cuts aid to the disabled, which cuts aid to the immigrants' children, which cuts aid to the elderly... >> reporter: that ad went on to say that mitt romney and ryan are both back to the failed policies that crashed the economy. jamie. >> jamie: do republicans seem concerned about these attacks. >> reporter: th

washington had no part of that. washington reprimanded them. after that he offered him the left wing of the army. so i think it was just a crushing blow both of the personally and as far as debate of the nation. washington were so close during the french revolution he sent the children to mounter have nonabout safety. what is remarking about the will l.a. -- it was the only time i saw him break down and cry. other questions? >> right here? >> thank if i'm right, mark, there were -- we all know that agent often have a group of close other teenage female friends, and what was peggy's group? >> she had peggy and he two friends named becky. one of which was becky franks which was a fascinating person with a great sense of humor who had a father that imported the liberty bell to pennsylvania. so it was a group of two peggies and two beckys who hung out together. and peggy shy, that's the young woman who andre took to the party. that was his date. they dressed as knights or turkish maidens, by the way. in fact, that one of the bigamist i ares that we

there's the washington monument being lit up by some sunshine now. the jefferson memorial, 84 at reagan national, but it's comfortably warm. we don't have a lot of humidity in the air. dew point comfortably dry at 57. humidity only 40%. we've got a calm wind now. temperatures around the metro area, much of northern michigan low 80s now, and farther to the north montgomery county, howard county now in the upper 70s to near 80. prince georges county east of washington near 80 and much of southern maryland, st. marys around 80 degrees. wide view showing a beautiful day around the bay and at the beaches, too. it's around 80 at ocean city. just in the upper 70s now to near 80, to is certainly is great, swimmable water as well as around the bay. bay water temperatures are in the 80s. off to the west still cool. these areas in yellow, 70s now and much of the shan doe what valley. a few spots in western maryland and west virginia sfil in the 60s. it was down into the low 50s there this morning. now we have just a few clouds coming in from the west. we have a

people send money to washington. people and businesses. if you do what washington approves, with a lobbyists lobby to get in the tax code they will get you some of your money back if you engage in behavior that washington approves of. we disagree with that. we're saying keep your money in your wallet, paycheck in the business in the first place and you will have lower tax rates as a result. people who get most of the deductions are in the top tax bracket, wealthy. not middle income taxpayers. by getting rid of the deduction that the higher income earners get, more income is subject to taxation so that means we can lower tax rate for everybody. they won't shelter the income from taxation but in exchange they will get more tax rates. eight out of ten businesses in america file taxes as individuals, this is a big small business jog creation idea. the -- job creation idea. president is proposing tax rate on the successful small businesses goes up 4% in january. countries around the world are cutting the tax rate on their successful job creator

and can also my previous books, the last book i wrote with was about george washington. the one prior to that was about thomas jefferson. so there's a kind of logic to writing about the federal era. i know quite a bit about the federal era having done that, so i was sort of in this general vicinity. and the chronology fit. and i did also know a little bit about dolly madison which also attracted me to the subject because it makes it a little bit more interesting. you know, traditional history in the past has been all about sort of great white guys making, doing all these things, and now we can talk about spouses, we can talk about children, we can talk about slaves, we can talk about art, we can talk about architecture. and i think that taking this sort of more broad-based approach i thought maybe could make the history a little bit more interesting. so that was what i hoped to bring to it. >> well, you did. >> thank you. well -- oh, another question. >> of all the public, the public buildings in washington were burned except for the old brick building at 8th and high wh
