the exact same job that john hay had for abraham lincoln. you can imagine how proud his father was to see his son go through this great maturation. job,e he could start the and delbert pay went up to his yale reunion, came back to his hotel room, sitting in the window, smoked a cigarette, fell asleep, and fell. out the window and died. it was an awful year, beginning with his son dying, and then the assassination of mckinley in september, then the death of his writing partner and old friend john and george nicolay, and then his other best friend, clarence king. >> who was clarence king? >> he was sort of the ideal man in the world of john hay. anhad gone to yale, he was explorer, he had gone out as a surveyor, geologist, the first decline of many of the mountains in the sierra. he went on to found the u.s. geological service. hansona wonderful and guy who was well-liked. but he never really thrived in any way. he would run off to start a mining inventor, fail, it would borrow money, so he was a frustrating friend. it was very crushing when h

when abraham lincoln was running for president. and then, of course, was away at harvard. hay and robert had known each other in springfield and kept up when robert came down from cambridge to visit the white house. but president clinton, for some reason, -- lincoln, for some reason, did not have a warm relationship with robert. maybe because of the absence, being away as a circuit lawyer, campaigning, and then robert at college. hay, who was in the white house, whether it a couple of rooms away from lincoln in the second floor of the white house, sort of got taken on as a second son. his love literature, he shared with lincoln. he would pad down the hall in his nightshirt. because of hay, we have descriptions of lincoln looking like a sport in the night. they bonded because of their love of literature. >> how old was he when he went to work for abraham lincoln? >> he would have been just shy of 21. >> where did he physically live in the white house? room, theretary's northeast corner of the white house. if you picture the white ho

and he takes the oath on the lincoln bible and i believe that he has mentioned abraham lincoln 230 times. since he has been president. i just think that it's very important for us to get abraham lincoln right. if you get it right, then you can america right. and you get what i believe should be our animated purpose as conservatives. so by way of introduction, i think there are common misconceptions and we tend to think of him as a man of the earth, and accidental president. the common people and common sense. i think that really underestimates him and he would not be surprised by that because he was underestimated throughout his life. part of it was just very superficial. this ungainly character. he said once that he had the insight that god must love common looking people more than anyone else because he made more of them. he was common looking. but anyone who judged him on this basis of his looks or thought any of those things i just mentioned about him was making a grave mistake, this was a ferociously ambitious man. it was possessed of extraordinary intelligence from the time of his

went old was he when he to work for abraham lincoln? 21.just shy of >> where did he physically live in the white house? > the secretary's room was on the -- on the northeast corner of the white house. so if you picture the white looking from lafayette square, it would be in the upper left-hand window. the president and his family the ied seven rooms in second floor of the white house. this is before the west wing. the offices and all of the of the government of the administration were conducted on that floor as well. very little security so always office seekers and people and running in and out all of the time. who. nick lai? >> seven years older than john hay. friend m illinois and a of hey. he feels born in germany, came a young ited states as man. and had run a small newspaper in illinois. lincoln brought him on first to private secretary. nd when the mail got so that nikolay couldn't handle it, they brought on hay. nikolay and hay came on the train together. hey were roommates for four years in the white house and ere great friends

grant giving the union and abraham lincoln unhappiest weekend and they had enjoyed during the war. i have hit something. that is what captain smith said on the titanic. now said something else. we have a technical person who is at this moment galloping to my rescue. i am hoping c-span can edit this part out. i saw him galloping at one point. maybe he will come in the other door or come in behind me. you see? that wasn't the question i wanted to hear him ask. i will go on and we will let the pictures catch up. robert e. lee would never again regain the military initiative in the war although fighting would go on for another 21 months the confederates were confined to the sort of defensive warfare they could least afford. after gettysburg the sun never shown for the south again but there were other costs the confederacy imposed by gettysburg beyond the simple fact of the feet and discouragement and department. the army of northern virginia reported 2,592 kills, 12,700 wounded, thousand 1 fifty captured or missing after gettysburg. 20,451 casualties based on the data frustrated by the

lincoln and coiled himself hired higher as iter is described and then they realized that is abraham lincoln himself and they've been away and he said they should stick around to see the shooting. but teddy roosevelt helped to create the rifle that our trips -- troops are still easy for a version of today andto kennedy was involved to decipher the m-16 so it is a fascinating connection. lou: also the plan with the m14 and the rifle it is such a magnificent part and many are gun buffs.stor >> and the m-1 saved the world because my father and others had that by their size -- by their sides in world war ii it is better than the chinese and the german shoulder rifle that counts for history and saving american lives but toes. move our history forward to put food on the tablerd. expanding the country and we know about the crime quite qui well but we forgot about the connection of the military history. >> we talk about the guns that won the west is a terrific idea of brilliantly executed you have another big winner and i am sure ano chris kyle will be thrilled. >> thank you. lou: the book i

tell us of abraham lincoln. he was stunned to know that lincoln had reached this remote corner and he said he told them as much as they could. perhaps not as great as napoleon or frederick the great, but the greatness to suit of the integrity of his character and moral fire of fiber of his being. the dream that carried him through his dismal childhood. his string of political failures and his story would be told. for most of us today, we may not have our faces carved in marble and washington. but the stories of our lives will be told for the memories of our children are our friends and our politics. which is why it is so important to retain the art of story telling in our fast-moving world. as many of you know, i always come back in the end to my own love of storytelling to enter my own love of history to the days when my father taught me the art of keeping score when i was only six years old circuit court for him the history. when you're six years old and your father comes home every night, and i recounted ever

first, when entered he was compared to abraham lincoln. now he compares to the nixon politician. >> i think i get it. [laughter] [applause] >> mr. secretary, what we are going to do next is we are live streaming this program globally over youtube, and we've taken questions over the last few days. we are going to put one up and i'm going to read it to you because you can't see it. the question is what lessons or practices can politicians and government leaders learned from the private sector? this is from brian wilson of tolino. >> the first thing that popped into my mind is what he said that the trouble with socialism is that eventually you ron elbe of other people's money -- you run out of other people's money. in business you are using your money and in the government using other people's money and there is a big difference between how people handle their money and other people's money. it's true. any way you look we all became a little differently because it is other people's money when it is their own. in the pentagon it broke my heart

grant, thus giving the union and abraham lincoln the happiest weekend they had yet enjoyed during the war. i have hit something. [laughter] that's what captain smith said on the titanic. [laughter] now i've hit something else. [laughter] do we have a technical person who is now at this moment galloping to my rescue. i'm hoping c-span can edit this part out las. [laughter] well, i saw him galloping at one point. maybe he's going to come in the other door. or he's going to come in the height me. you see? of[laughter] that wasn't the question i wanted to him ask. [laughter] well, i'll go on and we will let the pictures catch up. in fact robert e. lee would never again regain the military initiative in the war. although fighting would go on for another 21 months. the confederates were confined to the sort of defensive warfare that they could least afford. after gettysburg, the sun never shone for the south again. but there were other costs for the confederacy imposed by gettysburg beyond the simple fact that defeat and discouragement and disarmament. the army of northern virginia reported

i thank you mentioned at some point along the way either had contact with some extent with abraham lincoln. >> relating to the reporters in late 1862 a battle near vicksburg where sherman said then and they were the down swing was horrible but thomas knox was there a reporter from the herald. rethink junius was missing battles in he was funny that way but knox wrote the dispatch to send it back incentive in the mail bag with the union army boats. general sherman thought they were spies and would have them take the reporters letters out of the mailbag and read them and he got mad at knox to have to court-martialed as a spy and was a confederate. so richard had a talent for the powerful people after fredericksburg you a back to washington since he got the petition to have those sign it in ticket to see lincoln at that time. lincoln met them and basically said on a great. reporters so he said he should let knox come back and said the generals are more important so he should be allowed to come back of ms. grant says he does not want him to come back. so it did get back into the war so he had m

those are progressives and wasn't that abraham lincoln wanted to fund the canal. by the way, some of what he did was excessive and ridiculous. he supported a program in illinois that got way out of hand because everyone looked at the erie canal and said it paid for itself so everything can pay for itself and they passed a program and that basically bankrupted states. the continental rolled everyone looks unfavorably for understandable reasons. barry carow backend minn shy to the age but it enabled the worst kind of fraud and corruption that you could imagine. i would be favorably inclined to that kind of transportation program back then that even back then, you had to have a very skeptical eye towards a lot of it, but we didn't get -- it couldn't create the medicare part b. there are separate things. and i don't think the slope was that deep or slippery. if you are upset about that you should blame fdr and not lincoln. >> next question to your right. >> thank you for coming. can you tell us something about what the "national review" is doing and what you are doing

abraham lincoln had a shooting range of his own behind the white house, and he wouldo back there and fire off rounds at targets to test n gun technologies. in fact, one day he was crouched down shooting and the police came by because there was a rule against that in washington at e time and they started hollering and cursing at him and they ran over to grab the gun from him and abe lincn, e witness described, uncoiled himself higher and higher and higher and presented himself and then the police realized, my god, that's old abe himself and they ran away. and lincoln said, well, they might have stuck and to see the shooting. teddy roosevelt helpedreate the 1903 rifle that our troops are still using a version of around the world today. and john kennedy was intimately involved in designing the m-16 which we use today. pits a fascinating connection, isn't it? >> absolutely. it's such a magnificent part of our history. >> the m-1 saved theorld because my father and so many members of the greatest generation had that gun by their side in combat zones in world war ii. that gun was better th

and 20 years later going to lincoln dinners, i would hear about abraham lincoln and his career and the contribution and leading up to the bicentennial, i felt that the cartoonish image of mrs. lincoln needed correction. but the next project is a short book on the emancipation proclamation. that's what drew me to it. i have done other books in the field, i thought it was time to take another look at millions lincoln. >> i came to mt. vernon 30 years ago, i think. it was a very different place then too. the changes in 30 years that mt. vernon in terms of interpretation and education and what's available have been incredible. but i began writing about nellie custus. she was cute, young, in the middle of everything. she wrote pep by letters and she didn't burn them and it was all good. but actually i remembered exactly when -- at the bicentennial of the white house which i came up here for, i was sitting with some people from mt. vernon looking at everybody on the stage saying mm, they're mostly men. and the only ones representing women were dolly madison and abigail adams. i said to my fr

lincoln's bedside, but also at the bedside of william mckinley. who could this fellow be? when i opened the archive, i realize just what a rich subject it was. his life are really had to book ends at the biographical. personalrambling of secretary, private secretary. so much of what we know about lincoln comes from intimate contact with him. on the other end of his life, he served not under -- not only under mckinley but also for teddy roosevelt. it is wonderful, iconic the ends of american history. you realize that all of the chapters in between in american history from the civil war

>> stahl: with the 150th anniversary of the civil war, we're going through another abraham lincoln revival. not that interest in him really ever fades; there've been close to 16,000 books and now steven spielberg's movie "lincoln," which was nominated for 12 academy awards. the film is filled with things about our 16th president that we, who aren't lincoln scholars, didn't know, as lesley stahl found out when we first broadcast this story in february. daniel day-lewis, who won the oscar for best actor, brings the great man to life. >> daniel day-lewis (as "lincoln"): i can't listen to this anymore. i can't accomplish a goddamn thing of any human meaning or worth until we cure ourselves of slavery and end this pestilential war. >> day-lewis: i never, ever felt that depth of love for another human being that i never met. and that's i think probably the effect that lincoln has on most people that take the time to discover him. >> stahl: after agreeing to take the part, daniel day-lewis spent a year reading and doing research into abraham lincoln the man. >> day-lewis: he does feel as if he's

but having said that, like abraham lincoln, it's hard to get behind the image and the notion of martyrdom, or the notion of being the patriot there. but even behind all that is a man of integrity. he called the island that he spent 27 years on "the university," where he became a human being. and i think mandela proved the point that he was there to lead other people, and he proved that his first year he was elected president. you know what he said that first year? "i will not run for the presidency again. i will start this process. all men come, all men go. my time has come, and i too will go." - you think businesspeople can seek inspiration from a man like that? - absolutely. i think there's something really important: ceos - i think these jobs are incredibly important, incredibly difficult, and incredibly taxing. and one of the things i think leadership has to know is it's a limited timeframe. maybe we should begin to look at ceos as "you're here for five, and gone." actually, it's about four-and-a-half to six-and-a- half depending on statistics - but, as a regular turn of the events, l
