similarly, washington had no money. congress passed a budget, but had not appropriated any money, and no funds were due to come in until springtime. meanwhile, the president had to run the office, show sent hamilton, the secretary of treasury, to the local banks to borrow money, and he spent it without the authorization of congress. as a result of that, they created the bank of the united states which was the predecessor of the federal reserve, which now has a money from which the president can draw when congress is not there. congress still has to appropriate the funds and deposit them to see that they are deposited in the federal reserve. the president now has the right because of the precedent set by washington to spend money when he feels like it, and he does. >> so was there political discussion among the public about these actions, and what was the reaction? >> well, yes and no. remember at that time there was a dozen or two newspapers so there was no radio or tv. by the time news reached the public, it was often

did washington change us or did we change washington? the question was raised rhetorically. >> charlie: do you believe what some people have said, whether it's the carter administration, the clinton administration, the obama administration or the bush administration either that in the end the town always wins. >> i mean, this is the story about the permanent feudal class which is a term from the republican senator from oklahoma. he uses this to describe this collosus. >> he speaks with a certain candor. it's interesting that he and obama are such close friends. my cynical bone does ache a little bit. i do wonder is this expedient? it does seem rather genuine. >> reporter: that's the interesting question. how can you be as a reporter, you know, what if in fact your intelligent bone is overruled by your cynical bone? >> i think it happens every day. reporter: cynicism always wins. >> no it doesn't always win. look, i'm susceptible to authenticity. i think people can be very authentic. there's a line in here from henry allen who is my forme

of the values that washington had. he could learn from his experience. >> exactly. so when he's defeated he doesn't say "oh, woe is me." but "what can i learn from this?" experience had been his teacher all through life. his father died when he was quite young. he was on his own from about the age of 16. as always. but the jabez fitch story is different because he's keeping a diary and he kept a diary no matter what was happening, including after he was captured and taken prisoner. they put one of those vile british prison ships in the harbor here in new york. i think he must have hid -- the you shouldn't picture a beautiful leather diary. they're writing on scraps of paper. i think he was hiding in the his shoe because it was against the rules. you weren't supposed to do that. but the fact that they wrote the letters, the fact that they kept the diarys is part of their great contribution to their country. because now we know what it was like. we can be in their shoes, in their skins, and feel what they went through. t

that moscow has received for more from washington since the end of the soviet union just one and when i asked this question at all gust meeting places of the american establishment i get one answer where we gave them financial loans in the one nine hundred ninety s. yeah they were onerous loans which only putin because of high oil prices could finally pay back unlike with poland where washington for gave its communist era debt washington never forgave any of moscow's debt we have never given russia anything and by the way putin says that over and over and over again and washington says why is he so any american he's not any american he's just making a simple point that any major leader would make that a relationship is a two way relationship we give something to you you give something to us and we go forward and solve problems we don't have that relationship and we haven't had it since the soviet union ended by the way oddly we had it with the soviet union but that's another story really quickly because we're running out of time so the reset idea is it all forgotten and dad now. well

and we told him we were going to march on washington. you know, president kennedy didn't like the idea of hundreds and thousands of people coming to washington. and he said to mr. randolph, who was our spokesperson, "if you bring these -- all these people to washington, won't there be violence and chaos and disorder? and we will never get a civil rights bill through the congress." mr. randolph responded and said, in his baritone voice, "mr. president, this will be an orderly, peaceful, nonviolent protest." we left that meeting, came out on the lawn of the white house, and said we had a meaningful and productive meeting with the president of the united states. and we told him we were going to march on washington. >> can you sum up what was going on in america at that time that led to the march that had people like john kennedy worried and people like you adamant about what had to be done? >> well, the years leading up to the march on washington had been an unbelievable amount of action on the part of the movement. people had been sitting

people come to washington. they ran against washington as this swamp. they say i'm going to drain the swamp. then they settle into the place like a warm bath. it's a very moneyed and very easy and very comfortable place. frankly i mean i tried to illustrate this carnival it has always become >> reporter: the idea that there was a pay-off to public service is cancerous in terms of government. >> you would think. i mean this is supposedly a city built on public service. i mean, yes, it's hollywood for ugly people it is said. that's the cliche. but in fact hollywood is fantasy, right? i mean there's big money there and egos there. washington is for keeps. i mean washington is paid for by the american people. washington is supposedly, you know, a land of a higher or a city of a higher calling. that's just been totally tipped on its head >> john: this idea that you mentioned in here of it's fine for politicians to leave washington and fine for people to run for president and say washington needs changing. washington will not hold that against you because the

george washington always referred to it as open quote mrs. washington's chamber" and -- as "mrs. washington's chamber" and it is always referred to as her area. she spent time in that chamber, doing her hour of spiritual meditation. perhaps later in the date writing letters, talking with her coax -- her cooks to plan menus for the day, giving assignments she also use that room for teaching the children, elling them stories. you can imagine how wonderful it would have been in that room. one of the most notable pieces is the bed in that bed chamber. that is the bed on which george washington died. but we also know that martha washington's had a role in acquiring that bad. another piece in the room had a very close connection with martha washington, her desk. although very little of the correspondence between george and washington -- george and martha washington has survived, because they savored their private correspondence. wo letters had been found that had slipped behind one of the drawers in that desk. that is the preserver of that little bit of very personal correspondence. it

once again, live from washington, moderator gwen ifill. gwen: good evening. americans from coast to coast are still engaged in a rolling conversation about race, justice and the definition of self-defense in the wake of last week's not guilty verdict for george zimmerman in the travon martin case. we discovered that the president is as well. >> he surprised reporters in the briefing room today sharing his own experiences as a black man in america. >> i think it's important to recognize that the african-american community is looking that issue through a set of experiences and a history hat -- that doesn't go away. there are very few african-american men in this country who haven't had the experience of being followed when they were shopping in a department store, that includes me. >> the president remark's continued for 18 minutes. they followed two speeches this week from attorney general eric holder who talked about similar experiences and of speaking to his son about what to expect. >> i am determined to do everything in my power to insure that the kind of

washington had a tour in mind for henry. he said i think you need to go to lake champlain and pick up some guns and cannons, 43 canons, 16 heavy guns and you know the story, well, this audience knows the story that certainly everybody had to learn about this in the high school history class how henry went up there and how he -- first it was and snow, then it was mud and then they broke through the ice and got more snow and more ice and they were eventually able to get these and bring down the 43 canons and guns to cambridge. so this is probably the more modern rendition than the pictures. lucey was not happy. lucy is a drama queen. but her parents did abandon her. she fills abandoned, her parents are not writing to her in her safe houses even though she's writing to them so she's all alone, she's pregnant, she doesn't know whether henry is going to survive, she doesn't know what he's been to be attacked by indians or a british soldier were get disease or what. she writes to him and she is quite hysterical. all along he write

of washington don't understand. you mentioned obviously it's a hot book in washington. people love to talk and read about themselves. there is a level of outrage and a level of surprise that i have gotten from outside of town that's been very, very gratifying. >> what is it they don't understand? >> i think they don't understand the fullness of the carnival. the self-service/public service distinction is important. there is so much money in and around government it is easy to do well instead of doing good. this city was supposedly built on public service. >> the book begins at the memorial service for our beloved colleague tim russert in 2008. you describe how hat a moment they are supposed to be mourning the poll oh techniciiticianpoli reporters are jockeying for position in a gold rush of finance by us, by taxpayers. >> that was a striking team for us. tim russert, a giant. i was a guest. i was struck by how everyone was throwing business cards around, working it. it was about them. that made the larger point plac

a little george washington. first today's trivia question, who is the only sitting member of congress born in the united kingdom? first person to tweet the answer gets a shout out today. answer coming up on "the daily rundown." look at this. i see the wheels turning over here. . >>> you want to feel a little patriotic, here we go. appropriate enough with baby news, today we're taking a deep dive into america's first president, george washington who decidedly avoided creating a monarchy in the newly form united states. guess what, he's finally getting his own presidential library. relatively speaking presidential libraries are a fairly recent development created by an act of congress during franklin roosevelt's teen you're, the 13 official libraries administered under national archive system and funded by a mix of public and private donations. the first opened in 1940 for president roosevelt, still president at the time. the newest opened this summer for president bush, in texas. all the presidential library syst

swamp of washington. you're creating conversation. i read the book. it's a fascinating look at the personalities of washington. you're not afraid to prick a lot of egos. although it seems you're a little bit uncomfortable with it even as you're doing it. >> i'm not uncomfortable, but i'm transparent that i am a member of the media, i'm attached to a major news organization. i love politics. i cover it willingly. i don't have the luxury of being a foreign correspondent who can dive into town and burn down the village. these are people i know, and i will have to talk about my role in it. i don't think i'm uncomfortable. when you have been a journalist as long as you have in washington, you get used the social awkward nns and being able to take shots. >> what is your big take after looking at the circus of the last few years, what's the blowback? >> the blowback is weird. there's so much anticipation around this thing, and no one's read it until hopefully now. it's leaked out, and people will be able to buy

what's held us back are the antics in washington. you know, you had speaker boehner say last week that he will be judged not by the bills that he passes but by the laws that he repeals. well, if squeal and repeal is the essence of your philosophy, then we're in deep trouble and that's what's happened. you had 12 republicans in the senate saying they would shut down the government unless they defunded obamacare, and you've had republicans, tom coburn said last week, that's a suicidal impulse. >> i agree. we're shutting down the republicans we want to shut down, at least those of us who think it's madness. >> but they're in control of the house caucus, mike. >> right. >> you don't have a speaker who's willing to stand up to them. >> you also know the pelosi side would not move heater, that's the problem. the house is polarized between your guys and ours, so it's very hard to see in an election, which is why the president is off on a campaign trail. >> he was criticized for his speech because people said it's what he's been saying for t

you heard that she was getting her orders from management in washington. her management in washington was carter hull and he was looking at the cases. he said specifically when on he had a couple of test cases he was required to run them up the chain to ms. lerner and to the chief counsel and we unable to sign off those cases without their permission. >> paul: and the general counsel's office role, william wilkins because there is only two political appointees, wilkins and whoever is running the irs. so this isjc-'ñ significant. what is the irs saying about wilkins' role? >> the irs is some pains that he wasn't at a key meeting where his office was reviewing some of these applications, but i think it's very interesting because one of the reasons that mr. wilkins was hired presumably when the white house hired him, they said specifically they admired his expertise in dealing with nonprofit organizations. so the idea he wasn't in the loop and all this was happening in the office is a little bit of stretch. >> paul: he was involved, was he not, in the campai

did washington change us or did we change washington? the question was raised rhetorically. >> charlie: do you believe what some people have said, whether it's the carter administration, the clinton administration, the obama administration or the bush administration either that in the end the town always wins. >> i mean, this is the story about the permanent feudal class which is a term from the republican senator from oklahoma. he uses this to describe this collosus. >> he speaks with a certain candor. it's interesting that he and obama are such close friends. my cynical bone does ache a little bit. i do wonder is this expedient? it does seem rather genuine. >> reporter: that's the interesting question. how can you be as a reporter, you know, what if in fact your intelligent happens every day. reporter: cynicism always wins. >> no it doesn't always win. look, i'm susceptible to authenticity. i think people can be very authentic. there's a line in here from henry allen who is my former colleague at the "washington post" who is one of my

when everybody got to washington, certainly in new york and philadelphia too, washington is this primitive miserable swampy splice. they all get there and say, where are we. there's no separation between political life and social life. everybody is in each other's houses and dolly madison, when jefferson became president, really set up a whole separate base. everybody had to go there. you did not have any political information if you didn't go to that house. she brought everybody in, made them behave together because it happened very fast that by washington second term, we had the kind of partnership that we have today that the country was way too young and fragile to withstand without some influences. those influences were called women. they would make the men set down together and have some wine together and talk to each other. >> jefferson did not do that. jefferson had the republicans one night. >> your point is so important. if you tie it to what everybody says is wrong with washington today. it was almost much more direct. dolly madison was a politician. everyone understood that. whe

but washington is most worth will provide a propaganda platform to the whistleblower. yours for the gun time when you take a nice say there's no indication of the mass hunger strike is ending despite u.s. officials claiming most of the protesting prisoners have eaten and meal for the first time since february. the violence in belfast last clashes break out at the annual orange order parade despite a heavy police presser. on the war within a syrian rebel spokesman tells on t.v. what should be cautious about supplying arms to the anti exxon front which she claims has been hijacked by al qaeda linked militants. this is our c coming to you live from moscow and news just in a bass crash on the outskirts of moscow has left at least twelve people killed and let's get the details from these polls called had a poll so what are we hearing from the crash site details are very sketchy at the moment and i can tell you that up to twelve people have been killed and nineteen injured as a bus collided with a truck in the outskirts of moscow now it was thought that the bus was carrying

the big respect to washington, d.c. judy is whether or not walmart will even move into washington as a result of this. they have six stores that are planned and they have basically said we may not, three of those stores which are under construction yet, may not happen. if they don't move in we're talking about the loss of hundreds of jobs maybe thousands. >>woodruff: david madland what do you say? >> it's hard to know exactly what walmart will do. but when cities and states raise their own wages, the best studies compare one adjacent county to another or adjacent state to another. they show that raising minimum wage have no effect on unemployment. studies also, when walmart comes to down, no effect on employment. they destroy some jobs of smaller competitors so there's no net impact on jobs here. the question really is whether walmart is going to pay a living wage so thattists employees and -- make a living wage not only walmart but other large retailers can pay a living wage. >>woodruff: stephen moore he is saying the

washington. the president who wanted to pivot away from the middle east was now explaining why he was intervening in a civil war in labia. to stop a bloodbath, in a port city that most americans had never heard of. a place called benghazi. >> if we waited one more day, benghazi would suffer a massacre that would have reverberated across the region and stained the conscious of the world. i refused to let that happen. >> reporter: but saving benghazi from gadhafi was not the end of that story. at that moment, in a jail cell in southern california, a check kiting former meth cooker, named nakula basili nakula was working on a loopy scheme. it employed a low budget, comically inept movie that nakula called "desert warrior." federal authorities would only allow an interview over the phone. >> what was your intent? >> just to send a message to the world, detail evil coming from the east. >> reporter: what was the nature of that evil? >>ith that terrorism culture. >> reporter: at the peak peak of obama'

this is a classic case of the testing of leadership both in moscow and washington neither leader neither obama nor putin can be happy about mr snowden sitting in the moscow airport and didn't invite him to show but he can't or seem very political reasons obama needs to show he's tough on snowden. i can't believe that the united states actually wants to put on trial because if it was a fair trial or a legal trial all snowden would have the right to subpoena american officials who have knowledge of all this intelligence he's exposed would not be so i think there's a vested interest bills with obama and putin to find a way to solve this problem so that neither is damaged politically so will now see what kind of leaders they are and now south american nations belonging to the trade bloc of recalled their ambassadors for talks from european countries they are all involved in the grounding of the bolivian president's plane this according to the euro why in foreign minister of the member states of also slammed washington for what they call a neo colonial mindset washington's unrelenting pressur

"how washington can stop at." i don't think washington can stop it. i think washington can do some things. i think it has been doing some things. it might be able to try some other things. but at the end of the day, the magnitude of what is happening theyria is well beyond ability of the united states to control, shape, or decisively and. i want to be very clear what i mean. most of the debates, it is around a certain set of limits. i can't tell you how many times the last couple of years i heard the words -- nobody is talking about boots on the ground. thank god. but nobody is talking about boots on the ground. my point is that even with the boots on the ground, all in iraq-style, 100 50,000 troops occupying damascus, we cannot stop this. we proved it in direct. this mean we can ask was on the problem. we we could overthrow assad, no question. we could kill him and destroy his regime. but then we have to solve the problem of a collapsed state, a shattered society, and repatriation of what is left and what has been left behind. i think that any seriou

egypt is of critical strategic importance in the arab world and there's no way that washington will let it succumb to forces outside its control and what the people jerry square now do they have a they had a huge uphill struggle before they have a huge one now the army catalyzing the end of mohamed morsi i'm not sure that's the best way we must remember the moment morsi himself was educated in america presumably other candidates will be as well what we need are a new entry loan of egyptian leaders who are truly inclined to be nonaligned and be interested in the egyptian people rather than keeping the suez canal open for world trade and not really caring about the egyptian people at all. just briefly you pointed out that clearly many people they're looking for the downfall of morsy they're in effect looking like a coherent united opposition and then of course we've got so many equally well not quite equally perhaps but many many supporters for morsi himself then you've got the divisions within the opposition itself is there a chance that there could be some sort of civil war just bri

or did washington change us? i think if you look at how many people around about president obama, the president who would close a revolving door had gone out and sort of dove into this permanent futile class as tomko burn called it. it is pretty evident. >> you also talk about one of the president's top advisers and when david axelrod gets secret service protection because someone shot up the holocaust museum had information about him, so he gets secret service project. and valarie janet wanted her secret service detail. >> apparently a lot of people suspected after axelrod got secret service detail, valarie insisted on it. she would say the president himself makes the call but it is something a lot of people inside the white house or people who worked in the white house are still talking about. >> you puncture some of the blown up egos in this town. and i'll take one for example. steve schmidt, former republican consultant who ran the 2008 mccain campaign. advised him to pick sarah palin then afterwards bashed h

washington is now responding to the crisis. president barack obama called the egyptian president late monday night. on that call, he stressed that democracy is about more than elections. he said it is about ensuring that the voices of all egyptians are heard and represented by their government, including the any egyptians them straight ine throughout the country. the tone is a -- demonstrating throughout the country. the tone is different from last year when they were brokering a cease-fire, a role that is threatened by the domestic turmoil. officials in washington are suggesting that the 1.3 billion dollars in annual aid to the military could be at risk if it intervenes in the crisis. >> there are conditions on aid that you are all familiar with. our focus today, as you can see by the calls i have read out over the last 24 hours, is on communicating and what our concerns are to the government. >> that maybe all all the leverage washington has right now. the other countries cannot do much more. >> we appeal to all political for

are indeed washington media players with washington media weaknesses. in the piece msnbc is thrown in with everyone else who got the story wrong. in order to do that, salon had to ignore all three of msnbc's primetime shows, the shows which happen to have the biggest audiences on msnbc, with rachel of course having the largest audience of all. to accuse msnbc of getting it wrong, salon had to ignore the very existence of this program, which has the second largest msnbc audience. in fact, more people heard this program, getting the irs fake scandal right, every night than heard anyone else on the network getting it not so right. but salon, just like the rest of the washington media, didn't hear a word of what was said on this program. absolutely no one in washington took their guidance. no one in the washington media anyway took their guidance on the irs story from this program. and i never, ever expected them to. >> once the political media has latched on to the paradigm of a scandal, once they've collectively fixed its frame around what they think are

on your side. >> good morning washington. get ready this monday is is going to be hot and we have hot temperatures across the board for the work week with the temperatures climbing into the 90's. today a high uv inczechs of index of nine. if you are walking around going to and from work make sure you have the sun screen on. maybe heading to the pool to get a relief from the heat and humidity. a beautiful shot from ocean city maryland things are looking nice. be careful as it will feel like the upper the 12kr09 descrot of 90's. >> the corpse flower is about to bloom. when it does it will wreak of rotting flesh. they have extended their hours so visitors can check out the plant. >> the police are investigating a home invasion in a bethesda neighborhood. saturday night two men opened the unlocked door of a home. the men woke up the homeowners and left with some of their valuables. police are trying to find out if this crime is linked to two recent burglaries nearby. >> you think of this as a tranquil neighborhood so those things

elizabeth's hospital in washington, d.c. it wasn't until years later that i was assigned to the reagan detail, and we had an opportunity when i was in the limo with the president to talk about john hinckley. his desire was that john hinckley got the necessary help that he needed. and then he said, "but i have to tell you something. it hurt like hell." and reagan had a very good way of putting things behind him. and he was very good at kind of separating himself from that moment. and i don't think it bothered him. nancy reagan, it would bother her. she was concerned about every time that they would make mention that john hinckley might be released, she would come to me and say steve, i just need to make sure that that won't happen. >> in 2003, the year before president reagan died, a federal judge ruled that hinckley was no longer a danger to himself or others and should be allowed limited visits to his mother's home in virginia. to this day, the secret service watches hinckley, tracking his whereabouts, the people he meets,
