brian lamb: george washington at the end? david stewart: washington had money. he was a good is listening. he was a fine steward of his plantation. he left a great many slaves, and a great many of them were his wife's. he married her when she was a widow. he left in the will that his slaves should be freed when his wife died. that turned out not to be a good situation. it made mrs. washington very nervous because the slaves had a vested interest in having her die. so she just freed them herself. there was a tradition, of slaves poisoning their masters. that was something she was afraid of. ironically, madison's grandfather was poisoned by a sleep. -- sleeve. --slave. brian lamb: when you look bad it -- back at it, and most of them could not financially do right, and most of them could not free slaves. when you talk to african-americans, they say that we were put e-this beginning -- behind from the beginning and we are supposed to be created equal. david stewart: the hypocrisy is visible. we have to be honest about it. but we also have to be fair about it. i some

, washington's hometown. congress would do that after playing hardball with the president for the first time in american political history forcing him to sign the bank act. so at last, the dream is realized. there is going to be a seat of federal government. but immediately, the nightmare begins. [laughter] commissioners could not get along with engineers and artists. l'enfant lasted one year. the plan was brilliant. 6000 acres, larger than london or paris, an immense city. but he quit because the commissioners did not support the plan. they did not support him. washington did not fire l'enfant. in fact, washington groveled at l'enfant's feet begging him not to resign. it is a familiar story of politicians overseeing what the artists are doing. they control the money and timetable, if you will. l'enfant quit. others quit. the lots did not sell. there were big speculations. speculators went bankrupt. the buildings were not built. provisions like all buildings have to be brick were struck so that they could bui

but washington you get a lot about george washington. then you get, then you have a couple days or one day when you're talking about the confederation. you talk about the utter collapse of the con confederation how everything's going to hell in a handbasket, how the states are falling apart, the frontier's being lost as i mentioned between the friend and the british and the spanish vermont is actively conspiring to join british canada, a debtors' insurrection in massachusetts, the property rights are in danger in georgia and in rhode island where they're printing paper money like it's going -- like they would have done in greece when they can, when they can print the drachma, and you have this massive inflation that's draining property rights, new york's exporting all its taxes into connecticut and new jersey like they'd like to do today if they could but they actually could do then. because there was no -- the central government didn't control interstate commerce. every state could print us own money, could impose tariffs against other

"the washington post" describing the annual dinner this way. along with hokey musical numbers sure to be heard, there will be another familiar tune, "hail to the chief." the president is set to headline the white-tie event marking only the third time in his tenure he has attended. the other guests, the club traditionally invites one republican and one democrat, governor scott walker, the republican, and governor terry mcauliffe, the democrat. they include susan davis neil king, and michael shearer. that from "the washington post," as we watch some arrivals for the gridiron club dinner here on c-span. [indiscernible conversations] we are live it and renaissance hotel, the lobby of the hotel in washington d.c., catching some of the arrivals for tonight's gridiron club dinner. the dinner is closed to cameras but we are bringing you some guest arrivals for the next hour or so on c-span. the gridiron club founded in 1885 is the oldest journalistic organization in washington, d.c. just 65 members, reporters, editors, and bureau chief that work in the

vernon to observe washington. while he was there, he created the life mask that you see on the right side. and he also created the bust that you see on the left side and gave the bust to washington as a parting gift when he left. when he wrent back to his studio in paris, he created this beautiful marble statue that is still at the virginia state capitol in richmond. so there's no doubt that these three pieces of art showed what george washington looked like at the age of 53. so these were the gold standards for this whole project. from there, the prison laboratory at arizona state university and they devised a way to scan all of these priceless artifacts in a way that would not damage them. so, as you see, this is actually the washington bust being -- done with the laser scan there. and on this bottom left you can see where all of that information is fed -- was fed into the computer system and it sort of made a match that was an exact replica of that bust. so they did many of the artifacts this way. and as they d

george washington. and who is sent out to take back harper's ferry to reassert federal control? robert e. lee, i lieutenant colonel robert e. lee. so lieutenant colonel robert e. lee goes to harper's ferry, and can he's already known at that time as one of the military's finest soldiers. he had earned that reputation during the war in mexico. he proved to be a brilliant soldier. he had a unique understanding of topography. he could see things other people could not see, and he quips himself quite well. he performs well, he puts down the insurrection he reasserts federal control. and what becomes known as john brown's raid adds another laurel to an already impressive military resumÉ. but it also does something else. it heralds the coming of the american civil war. now i want to take you to one final place on this potomac trip just a little up river from harper's ferry. it's a quiet national park today where you'll find a cornfield, you'll find a sunking road, and ask you'll -- sunken road, and you'll fi

washington. that was fortunate for me because one of those reminders was the majority of his papers are in driving distance of washington. i was able to go to the archives and see the letters lee himself wrote to. when writing a biography, requires more and looking at old letters. also requires getting out and seeing the places where history actually happened and robert e. lee's history took place all around where i live to. during the course of my research on this book i traveled the full length of the potomac river from its source to its mouth. for those not familiar with the potomac it starts in west virginia at the fairfax stone flows down through the appalachian mountains past the city of washington and empties into the chesapeake bay. i really did drive my wife along the potomac. so all the things you need to write a biography and understanding a spouse. if you ever take this journey that i just described you will learn some things. you learn that the potomac is much more than a stream of p

what world is washington played? >> guest: the specific message is we don't want to see the interest on those bonds tax. if we do that it's going to mean we can invest less in her structure. >> host: what is the impact overall in the state health? >> guest: the impact on the state's health will be quite significant. if we tax the interest on those bonds that would add hundreds of billions of dollars to the cost of infrastructure built over the last decade. >> host: david lillard your thoughts on this? >> guest: as david mcintire pointed out if the president postal has kept the interest rate on bonds a deductibility of 20% would have been in place. citizens would have paid more for the cost of infrastructure and as he pointed out we have built higher education buildings in our state. many states use them to build roads and others build essential government service buildings and provide services to the public. it's a very important thing and what he think about the citizen to the k-12 school that their child goes to pr

it is time to begin this responsible accounting in washington. you can lie about the numbers but the numbers never lie. the worst kept secret in america is this administration is spending more than ever, and taxing more than ever. the federal government should spend tax dollars wisely and responsibly and give you the freedom to pursue your future, the way that you choose. hard-working taxpayers deserve a government that is more efficient and more accountable. it should be something that both parties could agree on, because nobody wants an ineffective government. runaway spending habits over the past six years have created a dangerously growing debt because the habit of spending now and pain later is deeply ingrained. federal revenues have hit record highs. yet we are on track to overspend. to put that in perspective, we will spend a billion dollars and the more that the government spends, the more debt we oh. and that is debt for future generations. today, the debt totals more than $18 trillion. in fact, every man woman and child those -- owes th
