this enraged adams. i think maybe he kind of burst the last -- holding in his deepest thought if saw this as a provocation to the prestates, of course, but also to the very cause of human freedom, and of a colleague came to talk about it and adams in his diary records what he said to this man, and i will just read you a little piece of this. quite astonishing. so, thinking about the slaves, and indeed thinking about not just enslavement but racism, the way that a man from his place -- he didn't know black people. the only ones he knew were servant it but there was a sympathy, understood. this is what he wrote: meek and defenseless as they are so much the more sacred is the obligation of the legislatures of the states to which they belonged to defend their lawful rights. now, would defend, should the dissolution of the union be a consequence for it would not be the defense but the violation of their rights to which all the consequences would be imputable, and if the dissolution of the union must come, tha

adam: sph stevthere. adam: is steve right or is this the dynamics of a global economy that changed. >> true, it is true that global economy is so weak, united states had to pull the economy along for years, but the problem in u.s. we could create higher paying jobs but we're burdened by so many regulations. >> obamacare could be reason those 468 thousand got put to part time. >> right you look the regulation, and business responding, saying can i create the jobs in this environment? can i bear the cost? no, that is the issue, we need a reform to our regulatory approach. >> brian thank you very much. >> i think you are wearing my colors sire -- syracuse. >> walmart getting into the drone game, announcing flies drones will be replacing workers that perform inventory checks at company's massive distribution center, technology will cut time needed for those inventory reviews from one month to one day. i think camera can shoot 30 images a second, walmart working with the faa and nasa to develop quad copter dro

>> john adams and samuel adams were not necessarily close. sam adams was a failed tax collector with a long history of debt. >> john adams was a very principled man. he agreed in general with people like samuel adams. but on the other hand, he was one who thought that things could get out of control. >> the rift between the adams cousins is only made worse when john takes the case to defend the soldiers involved with the boston massacre. >> what is the matter, john? >> representing the king's men in these times could put us all in grave danger. >> you promised captain preston and those men you'd take their case. there is no one in this colony or any other more suited to preserve justice than you, john. either you believe in the principles you say you do, or you do not. which is it? >> those men deserve a defense. and we must show the world that boston is capable of giving them a fair trial. >> he believes every man in a free country deserves a fair trial. but ambition does play a part in this. there's no bigger case. that cocktail of principl

lincoln was there when adams died, and when adams' casket was taken from washington north on a train to be buried in quincy, massachusetts, an honor guard of two representatives from each state, including lincoln as one of those men. so for those who like to see a fair amount of adams in lincoln, both in some of the arguments lincoln used about slavery and analysis the activist government that adam talked about, that lincoln sought to pass. yes? >> how did the media treat all of this? >> the media of the day. >> the media of the day. >> so a great question since the word media obviously our own word, media then in that case meant a -- there were a fair number of court reporters. by 1840, tens of thousands -- a number of them, not a lot. i don't know how many -- had reported in washington, and so this was big news in all of the papers. and for the abolitionist press, by then some number of thousands of abolitionist newspapers -- i didn't talk about the famous amistad case where adam before the supreme court defended a group asking who had been taken slavery and won the case 7-1. it wa

adams. the discussion was part of a day-long symposium at grand valley state university in grand rapids, michigan. it's about an hour. >> so much of this summit is concerned with the electoral history of progressivism and conservatism. many of our speakers asked how the ideas and arguments of major political thinkers have made their way into the cultural conversation. have shaped political attitudes, and given rise to political action. our midmorning session is particularly exciting in this respect. the three historians before you are going to discuss how certain major intellectual figures of the long 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries have affected and in some cases may continue to affect american political thought. i will introduce our speakers alphabetically. claire is a doctoral candidate in united states history at stanford university. her research very well suited to for this conversation interrogates the cultural exchange in the late 18th century through the cold war. today, she will disc

it's my wedding day. >> just a moment of your time. >> john adams and sam adams were cousins. but there was a difference in the way they lived their lives. john was an up-and-coming lawyer. he's much more the hardworking puritan than samuel was. >> there's no need to protract the inevitable. find it within your bearing to accept that which you cannot control. do you wish to run afoul of old hutchinson? >> will you at least read the new laws? >> well, i'm quite certain i shall become as agitated as you are, sam. >> from old hutchinson himself. >> smells like a musty tavern. the green dragon? >> not exactly. but a grand idea, that is. >> when most people think of the founding fathers, they envision wig-wearing politicians debating on the floor of some legislative body. but the first american patriots did their organizing in a bar, a tavern in boston called the green dragon. it is here that their fight begins, not yet for independence, but for equal treatment as the british citizens they believe they are. >> ♪ remember, remember ♪ the 5th of november ♪ the gunpowder treason

the editor of the four volume set jane adams writings on peace, she will discuss john do we, james adams. with that, i turn it over to our first presenter. >> let me begin by thanking the center along with the staff for organizing this wonderful events and invited me to speak this morning. i should also mention upfront that my talk is decidedly more historical and political and perhaps was founded more in the past and the present or future. it's also about intellectuals, but i hope it will provide thought as we consider together the contours of our contemporary belittle debate. the landscape, and how we might find common ground. i will be speaking at 19th century philosopher and the invention of the political tradition to show how this tradition is perhaps more complex, then historians of sometime allowed. in their struggle for the world, the communists have one great advantage over the rest, the generalizing of their beliefs. the west has forgotten how to read their books. we have only the dimmest idea of where we came from. so wrote life magazine in 1949, and it's lamented fell on eage

adam: i'm adam shapiro in for charles payne. the federal reserve has bent victim of hacking. an isis attack was stopped in germany. three people were arrested for plotting an attack in duesseldorf. but first we have breaking news. speaker of the house paul ryan finally showing his support for donald trump. ryan tweeted, and this is a quote, i will be voting for donald trump this fall. i'm confident he will help turn the house gop's agenda into laws. will this be the push trump needs to unite the party behind him? steve, you are affiliated with the trump campaign. it's an endorsement. but why wasn't there a press conference and donald and mr. ryan standing together saying i endorse this man for president. >> that might come down the road. the objective is to unite the party. i expect that coming down the road. right now they want to get other people involved in the campaign. >> was this a bitter pill for ryan to swallow? he tweeted this. it was on twitter. so that was kind. i think you are correct in so far as this is a major step toward uniting the party for donald trump. i t

indeed, fearful that so many electors might vote for both washington and adams in this manner, that adams could accidentally come out ahead in the final count, federalist leader, alexander hamilton actively encouraged some electors to scatter their second vote so as to assure washington won. it is hard to believe that hamilton or any of the -- many of the federalist to voted for adams actually viewed him as the heir apparent to the presidency, or in any way comparable to washington. indeed that is inconceivable, especially in the case of hamilton. quite to the contrary, hamilton, we know from his letters, actually supported adams for vice president to keep him from getting any more meaningful post such as chief justice. there is no evidence that anyone at the convention for cell using -- foresaw using the vice presidency as a way to sidetrack rivals, yet hamilton figured out how to use it in precisely that way in the very first election. by the second presidential election, in 1792, a further and -- unforeseen political development carried the electoral system even further from the framer

far more important at the time was that adams' party split down the middle which cost adams's election. the election was in deadlock. delegates went through 36 different votes. we are talking in some of these primers, maybe a second or third round, 36 rounds of no one giving way. if you look to the secondary book, they both give different explanations as to how the time was broken --tie was broken. a lot of textbooks say alexander hamilton himself broke the tie, that hamilton finally concluded was worserson's bark than his bite. he's a jefferson is too -- heous not to retain said jefferson was too ambitious not to retain some of his deeds. hamilton had a particular coral ith burr whoel w ultimately killed him in a dual. hamilton pulled him down in a very underhanded way, and rightfully so because as you know burr was a maverick. that is certainly true. hamilton made it known that he supported jefferson. that actually did not help because very much at the time because hamilton himself was discredited. he wanted to split the party that caused the federalist to published an attack, and op

adams question is how did feel about abigail adams' as role -- abigail adams's role in that? i don't know of many would have known it at the time. adams is increasingly angry at, he willly mchenry, and ultimately fire washington's cabin. what happens in this story, and adam said this is what he was most proud of -- the french -- this ishat if when the polling is coming to power, and said, if america nvoy, thisher oe one will be treated properly. the excitement of the day for the federal list is, we are fighting against france. we rally. if there is no threat from france, quiet down. nvoy and as a en peace treaty is worked out. he loses to jefferson. he was always proud of that. but he was very, very angry at what he felt was the underhanded treatment of his own cabinet members. other any more questions? questions?e any more do -- did he ultimately [indiscernible] >> the question was what did he do with the land in ohio? he sold a lot of it during his presidency, gave up a lot, gave family.mbers of his but he envisions mount vernon being broken up and does not expect mount ver

francine, your with adam pozen. francine: iam. , we doetable or a time not even have a plan to deal with brussels. looking at the nuances. whether angela merkel really once the u.k. out. >> francine, again, chancellor merkel is always doing the best to have a long-term view, be the a donald the room. i give for credit. for me, timetable specifically, how much is under people's control? there are people who keep saying the europeans have to understand. it will maybe take to october. the fact is, this is a huge externality of uncertainty on europe. a huge uncertainty disrupting their agenda and politics. about, ohp talking well, the britons do not want to be bullied. well, the europeans do not want to be bullied either. i am not saying it is not fast, i am just not saying it is not sustainable as is. you need to be clear about the process in saying at some point when the u.k. is ready, we will pull the article 50 a court. i think that is wrong. i think we have to be feeling -- thinking about calling a general election

far more important at the time was that adams' party split down the middle which cost adams's election. the election was in deadlock. six days, the delegates went through 36 different votes. we are talking in some of these primers, maybe a second or third round, 36 rounds of no one giving way. if you look to the secondary book, they both give different explanations as to how the tie was broken. a lot of textbooks say alexander hamilton himself broke the tie, that hamilton finally concluded that jefferson's bark was worse than his bite. he's a jefferson is too ambitious not to retain he said jefferson was too ambitious not to retain some of his deeds. hamilton had a particular quarrel with burr who ultimately killed him in a dual. hamilton pulled him down in a very underhanded way, and rightfully so because as you know burr was a maverick. that is certainly true. hamilton made it known that he supported jefferson. that actually did not help because very much at the time because hamilton himself was discredited. he wanted to split the party that caused the federalist to lose and he publi

i am pleased to have adam newman at this table for the first time. adam: thank you. charlie: take me through the origin and development of we work. want to know what you discovered about the people who come to we work. adam: born in israel. had a slightly challenging child hood. one of the things i noticed early on, it is hard to be the new kid. charlie: that is exactly the reason president obama says he doesn't want to live in takengton, he does want to his daughter out of the school to introduce her. she wants to introduce that she was to stay there until she finishes this level of schooling. -- he wants to stay there until she finishes this level of schooling. looking back, i don't think we worked without all these experiences i have gotten. think the difficulty is important. charlie: how did that experience of moving around in form you? form you've? some would call you a notch or no real -- call you and entrepreneurial -- guest: one of the places i lived in was cuba. cuba is a version of a social experiment. today there are less than 10 in israel. 10 -- ss than c

adam: it is a difficult race to poll. it's hard to tell not only how many independents can vote, but it's hard to vote if you are an independent. the independents are supporting bernie sanders by 3 to 1. we have some polls showing it close, some not so close. the best thing is to watch what the candidates do. bernie sanders will be campaigning here until tuesday. he had a heavy campaign day today, 3-4 rallies. clinton will be spending most of her time here. they are putting some money into the state. my sense is that it is close. the biggest thing is that this has been hillary clinton's problem all along. everybody assumes that she has won and are not particularly enthusiastic. that is her challenge. mark: you have been a longtime student of the governor. today he endorsed hillary clinton in a scheme of endorsements. does that matter much in the primary? adam: i normally don't think endorsement matter. i think it does matter. i think with undecided voters, it will get the effort to go out. he doesn't endorse very often. i

adam: i think at the end of the day, he cannot. sanders is going to drop out of , he says he's going to send his supporters over to her, and is no longer theoretical thing. it's a choice between hillary clinton and donald trump. even though a lot of sanders supporters have real problems with hillary clinton on issues like immigration and climate change, i think you're going to start seeing democrats coalesce behind hillary clinton way you see republicans coalesce -- john: she will have to work harder for california than barack obama did. adam: i do not think so. minorities here, latinos who are not minorities. women, i can't believe for having trouble here in the general election. for new jersey, my historical perspective -- i would be surprised even with that chris christie endorsement that he has, that she would not be strong there. john: i mentioned her consideration, who do you think has more at stake in terms of picking a running mate, politically? adam: probably hillary clinton. she needs to get the party united behind her. n

adam: it is a blow. after health care, this might be his second most ambitious domestic agenda item. so it is a real setback for him, something that viewed ministration felt confident was lawful, -- that the administration felt was lawful. it ended with a 4-4 deadlock. charlie: what can they do now? adam: the case will go on in lower courts and sooner or later, it may end up in the supreme court, but that will take a year or two. a lot can happen in the meantime, but eventually, a nine-member supreme court with or donaldlary clinton trump appointee on there, they will look at it again. reason why this one he was pushing so hard for judge garland? adam: yes, he said this was a reason why we need nine members. republicans might counter and say this is why they are happy with an eight member to bring court. charlie: so scalia would've had the same or would garland -- adam: they don't announce who voted how, but the chance of this being ideological split with four liberals on one side and for conservatives o

>> next, discussion on the life of john quincy adam with author james raub. his book looks at adams' time in congress and and his controversial views on slavery. >> james traub from "the new york times" magazine, and is a regular columnist for foreign policy.com. his books include the best intentions, kofi annan and the u.n. the devil's playground, century of pleasure and profit in times square. city on a hill. and the freedom agenda. in his review of john quincy adams spirit, sean, author of "the rise of american democracy

adam: not a lot. what it means is evaluation, tot one person is willing sell and another is willing to buy, important to remember. it means we are empowered by our investors to take our wildest dreams and make them a reality. but by taking their money we cut a deal with at them, and we are supposed to make the money back. they are not giving it to us to play with. our investors gave us money to help us change the world. our members that are choosing to be with us every day -- now it is 60,000 members, they don't know the details as well as it used to be. but the beautiful thing is, we have hardly ever kicked anybody out. when a member does not fit, it takes care of itself. charlie: you kick them out? adam: we do not. but recycling is a good example. when someone comes to the recycling and does not do it right, you might be confused and put it in the wrong place. someone will come out and say we work with recycling, it is important to us, can i show you how to do it? the guy can say don't tell you what

adam: i do not think so. at the end for day she will win. minorities here, latinos who are not minorities. i think -- women, i can't believe for having trouble here in the general election. new jersey, my historical perspective, i would be surprised. even with the chris christie endorsement, she should be strong. john: i mentioned her consideration, who do you think has more at stake in terms of picking a running mate, politically? adam: probably hillary clinton. she needs to get the party united behind her. not only in terms of personality, but in terms of issues. she needs to reassure the progressives that she is going to be there for them. john: i think she is the perfect choice to carry over the suitable for governing threshold. adam: it's easier for me to figure out what kind of person would be the clinton perfect choice. with trump, he's such an unusual candidate, who was a lot of advantages, but deficiencies. a governor, a general,? john: if i were presidential nominee, i would have you on my ticket. mark: coming up, president obama's

. >> adam? >> you are being imprecise charlie and you are being imprecise and ben in a way that is really dangerous. let me try to state it clearly. it is un-american to have a conversation about banning certain types of people from entering the country because of who they are. -- >> one at a time. >> adam with great respect you are all wrong. with all due respect. >> hundred percent. >> historically that is wrong, adam. we have been able to -- >> i don't think we've ever band an entire religion but we've certainly banned people from certain countries. >> why would you not ban nazis by the way? >> the president already has statutory authority to ban any group of immigrants he deems dangerous or undesirable. that's been used many times in the history of the united states. the president has that authority. >> one second guys. let me bring adam back in. he was cutoff. adam one point i want to make, not only do we have the people who were worried about it but president obama is speeding up this prog

the screws on adams. fairly interesting point. he said if i can make washington president of the united states it would be glad to be so but i never said i would hold the --ice and be responsible for that is where the tension comes here. he indicates -- in this goes on for several months -- he is going to rank hamilton third and washington writes a letter to one of the cabinet members, the president ought to ponder well change thettends to arrangement. seems to me a rather thinly veiled threat to resign. any.ually adams did gave he signed them all on the same day. said if there is just you, washington can decide how to rank them, so he does give him. i wonder how washington would have responded if somebody had treated him in a similar way when he was actually president? is,whole quasi-war -- this as i say, not his brightest chapter. washington spent six weeks in philadelphia. of thegot an officer army into a list of other people applying -- washington, by the way, is a tough -- he puts his s -- fa --tte w

eventually adams did gave any. -- adams did cavemen on this key point. he signed them all on the same day. said if there is just you, washington can decide how to rank them, so he does give him. i wonder how washington would have responded if somebody had treated him in a similar way when he was actually president? the whole quasi-war -- this is, as i say, not his brightest chapter. it turns out to be something of a the asko. fiasco. washington spent six weeks in philadelphia. you've got an officer of the army into a list of other people applying -- washington, by the way, is a tough -- he puts his notes fat, drunk -- washington does not want, neither does the federal leaders want any of the officers in the service to be other than federalist -- which is -- of course, if you're not a federalist, you can see how you might be a little uncomfortable on the other side of the coin. he explained by why the secretary mchenry when he sent his. one could as soon scrub a black man white as to change the principle of a professed democrat, such persons, he wrote, wi

chair adams: i bet they did. i said, remember the first today when i was with you guys, i told you i had seen something exploded with a mind? --with a mine? -- with a mine? he said, you americans are so ignorant. it's just propaganda. you're not supposed to believe everything that you read. that was my second come back. and they left me alone. [laughter] ken, i wonder if you can talk about what you are hearing? did it influence your experience? sgt. wallingford: lots of these folks who served in vietnam, you got the stars and stripes. you were in base camp. my parents wrote me letters. i wrote letters. they give you a little 5 x 7 piece of paper with five lines on it. what are you going to say? i'm deep in the jungles of cambodia. things are not going real well. the food could be better, but i understand. i knew those letters were not when to leave. i tried to put a positive on a negative situation. i was glad to be alive. every afternoon after siesta time, they would unlock the cages. they never took the chain a

adam a fun day to be out there. >> he dressed himself. it's a miracle. i love it when we have da da jacob time and he pointed at all the hats. he is all boy, the most favorite thing he saw out there was the tractors, they came out to clear the horse track, he screamed and jumped up and down. looking at sky 6 hd in pens landing, a great to be outdoors, the human dropped in many locations. now we entered the month of june we say good-bye to the wet may, in fact all the cities, the five cities ranked in the top 10 wettest may in their history. philadelphia the 10th wettest in rainfall. fourth wettest for atlantic city and fifth for mt. pocono and reading 4.4 inches of rainfall. it's nice to see dry air here, as we enter a new month. 87 in philadelphia and 86 in allentown and reading. 74 in beach haven, and 79 in millville. and 80 in dover, and where the air is cooler it's more humid with the wind off the water. you see dew points in the mid to upper 60s. that means humid out there, when you hit the 50s philadelphia north and west it is more comfortable and

adam has the details for us. hey, adam. >> the better of the two days will be saturday even though saturday is not, you know, completely dry across the entire area. so, the weekend not the best but not a washout, either. as we look at sky6 live, the commodore barry bridge you see a couple of peaks of blue here trying to pop with that very thick cloud cover, very humid as well with temperatures overall in the 70's. right now 73 in allentown, 74 wilmington. philadelphia 73 in dover upper 60's to near 70 at the shore with that wind coming in off of the water out of the east and again, no 80's like the last couple of days. as we look at satellite and radar, the morning rain passed along. the clouds stuck around. they were stubborn through the entire day. a few sprinkles to the north and west will be passing through an couple of communities but overall this evening it will be dry and we await the next system which is out in the northern plains. ski in allentown for tonight, 64 reading, 65 wilmington, 64 in millville.

and talk about a big improvement around the corner. >> thank you adam. with storms in the area, use facebook and twitter to follow our team of meteorologists and share pictures and video of where you live. check 6abc.com/weather for the latest conditions and real time views from storm tracker 6 live. >> a pennsylvania state trooper is honored for his efforts to stop bullying in philadelphia schools, sergeant john canter accepted the award from the group anti-bullying. he was chosen for promoting a non-violent and safe community during his visits to city schools and spends his free time volunteering as a youth sports coach. >>> the democratic convention is less than a month away and now the city is facing harsh criticism on its policy on protesting. monica malpass is live with more on this. >> groups rallied for the right to protest for where they want and how they want. the city has deniedself protest permits citing logistics and traffic issues, but they say they are denying them their first amendment rights. we'll talk about this coming up at 5:00. and

with john quincy adams, if it can be described as such with a character of john quincy adams and followed her to berlin and russia and back to washington where she was the wife of the president, and talk about that. so one of the things i wanted to ask you right off the bat, since the theme of the night is louisa's, is whether the fact that the character's name louisa drew you to the snook. >> i think it is true that it probably noticed her a little bit quicker than i might have if her name was jane. but beyond that i it was just a coincidence. but i think when you writing about historical figures you cannot -- [inaudible] -- you need a crack of the window and probably sharing -- i don't know -- i only -- so, probably -- it was a little bit of -- >> i feel like for me, my name had to do with who i became as a person itch was interested in the fact the name was louisa growing up. do you think her name affected her personality? >> it was quite a common name at the time. in fact there's a funny story in berlin everybody was named louisa. the queen, all of the -- royalty, everybody seemed to

. >> meteorologist adam joseph has the story for us. how are things looking adam. >> looking pretty nice. there are clouds and showers entering from the western suburbs but after a beautiful weekend with low humidity, you can feel that that humidity is moving back in. right now in philadelphia a temperature at 85 degrees. the 70's for the north and western suburbs, lancaster and reading, 74 to 79 because of some showers and a sea breeze at the shore where temperatures there are only in the mid 70's. the dewpoint 63 so slightly humid but notice the 70's increasing from the south with that southerly wind so we'll continue to see that humidity really jump up here tonight and tomorrow. on storm tracker6 live in addition to that we have a cold front working in from the northwest suburbs that is going to call throughout the night and throughout the day tomorrow. so right now we have no thunderstorms but downpours and showers stretching through parts of lancaster county berks county up into the lehigh valley slowly working in from the northwes

adams is it? oh, yes. oh, i have so missed the puritanical wit. [ chuckles ] >> ben franklin is literally world-famous at this point. on the other hand, he was considered very close to the parliament and the brits. he had been spending years in london and had cozied up quite nicely to the powers that be there. there were some people who thought that either he was a british spy or he had sort of gone over to the british. and they looked at him with considerable suspicion. >> while you were busy cavorting in london, we have been dragging these colonies towards liberty. and no up-jumped printer grasping for royal table scraps is going to stand in my way. >> printer? yes. but there was no jump. it was a long climb. i came to philadelphia with barely a dutch dollar in my pocket. and through a regimen of hard work, i made a success of myself. >> franklin borrows money to buy a printshop, the beginning of a successful franchise. printing leads to writing "poor richard's almanack," a bets-selling yearly collection

. >>> adam joseph as we inch toward the weekend. looking pretty nice right now. >> lot of sunshine both saturday and sunday. a couple of spotty storms maybe prior to that. but overall, the weekend looking great. i keep repeating myself. the weekend -- >> you can say that all day long. >> let's take a look at stormtracker 6 live double scan. most of us quiet here this afternoon. there's a couple of downpours in the cluster of storms developing near harris burg. we'll be watching these because they're moving from the northwest to the south and east. so they could clip parts of lancaster county or chester county. if they survive. again, could be a few spotty storms here this evening. but for the most part, it is just muggy and it's average, 83 right now in philadelphia. the normal high is 84. 84 in trenton. 81 in millville. 82 in reading. 82 in wilmington. and a bit of a sea breeze along the immediate shore with temperatures in the 70s. early this morning, all the severe weather pushed just to our south. baltimore and washington. south
