>> john adams. what did he mean when he said happiness would be the end of the individual and the end of government? goal,le: by end he meant i think you are reaching for, not conclusion. the use of end was your ambition, your objective, the thing you are aiming for. what he meant was he was connecting to a long-lived philosophical tradition that focuses on an idea of human flourishing or well-being. so any human being is trying to do more than survive, right? we want to get to the end of our lives and say, that was a life well lived. that i think is at the core of .dams' conception of happiness and the folks of 1776, women and men, abigail adams was included in the group of thinkers who thought human beings who direct themselves in order for them to achieve that experience to say that was a life well lived. >> thank you. >> hi. danielle: hi. >> i am from massachusetts. to stop the game from having freedom but freedom with to be at a rivalry [indiscernible] claim to family and freedom and happiness

john adams, benjamin franklin, roger sherman, adam livingston. adams made significant contributions, then congress edited by 25%. it was a group writing effort. even beyond that, the declaration itself, the fact there was declaration to declare is thanks to john adams. thomas jefferson was the draftsman. john adams was the politician turning the wheel's along with his colleague in arms richard henry lee. let me show you a picture. these are the men who have not gotten enough that it. john adams, a man of massachusetts who never held slaves. adams wrote a to-do list. one of my favorite artifacts from the massachusetts historical society. his to-do list for congress. you will not be able to see or your sitting. find it online. the fourth item on the left-hand side set government to be assumed in every colony. this is adams' strategy for getting to independence which convinced all the colonies they were basically in a state of anarchy and was time for them to write their own constitution. his product was build, then take away the old thing. then on

john adams didn't think it was all that important. the important decision had been made on july 2nd. and that's the day he thought would be celebrated with bonfires and fireworks and so on. and he -- he was on the committee, five people, to draw up this declaration, which i think no one at the time fully realized the importance of it. and they gave it to this younger man, who had come late to the second continental congress, thomas jefferson. he had written a pamphlet. he, obviously, was a skilled stylist. and if adams had known how important the declaration would become, he would have written it himself. he was on two dozen committees, chairing many of them, including the board of war. so he was very busy, so he thought this young squirt from virginia ought to be the man to write it up. and, of course, it turned out to be one of the biggest mistakes adams ever made in his life, because by the 1790s, the declaration had taken on a sacred character and adams was beside himself with jealousy over the fame that jefferson was getting. >>

he had run for vice president on the federalist ticket with john adams in 1800, losing to thomas jefferson and burr. now, consider this. in 1804, as all of this was going on, pinckney was the federalist candidate for president of the united states running against thomas jefferson who was seeking a second term. pinckney was perhaps the least publicized major presidential candidate in u.s. history and most americans were likely unaware that he was even running. and i think that's proven by the results of the electoral college which i show on the screen. pinckney won vermont and delaware. and did not even carry his own home state of south carolina. but he was so engrossed in his anti-dueling campaign that he really didn't care. he was completely unperturbed by the election and was -- but he was also unwilling to wait for the 1805 general meeting of the society of cincinnati in philadelphia during which he would be elected president general. he wanted to do something right then. so he pressed ahead by forming a joint committee, composed of members of the society of the cincinnati in south caro

. >> good evening, i am john adams. [laughter] wait a minute, i am not. johntainly feel like adams, trying to follow george washington is an impossibly difficult task, certainly. in my other life, i am donald kennon. formerly the chief historian of the u.s. capitol historic society. it is my privilege to introduce the authors and moderate a question and answer session with them. briefly, a little bit about how i am involved in this project. even though i retired three years ago, the project had begun before then. i felt a responsibility to continue with the project and see it through to conclusion. i am a little biased. i think this is a wonderful book. it is a very attractive book and a real contribution to the scholarship about the founding of capitol hill and its growth and development. before i answer for the panelists, i was a your -- i would like to give special recognition to three people who were not able to be here tonight. there is run. -- ron. with theport along society board of trustees saw this long and complex ross s through to completion. -

he wrote a biography of john adams and written a number of biographies but also the book 1776 that i read a while back that, it's about that pivotal year and the founding of america but it's really about george washington who is my favorite president. another book, i come up from a think tank back on, that's what it for 25 it before i ran for congress. i'm kind of a nerd i guess, and i've been in meetings with scott with what his ideas of what we need to do to have a quality healthcare system, and to think i would add an affordable healthcare system. a couple of the books that i've read this summer, one back in the spring come was the little things by andy andrews. it's a really good little book. i've read i think practically everything and andy has written turkeys an excellent author. my wife is reading one of his

i'm looking for to reason that because it's about thomas jefferson and john adams, and i think most people understand the importance of those two adjustment to the founding of the republic. obviously adams was her second president i do not sure they know the back story and that's i think this book is about. adams and jefferson were great friends. adams had a tremendous opinion of jefferson intellect and his writing ability and it was adams insisted that jefferson as part of the committee, jefferson be the one who actually wrote the draft of the declaration, and later in life they became estranged. jefferson ran for presidency, and beat adams. adams was not able to serve the second term, and that caused a few between the two. over the years after jefferson left office, their friends begin to encourage him to reconcile and they begin by writing letters to fascinating and insightful letters and they were reconciled. i like to take people on private tours of the capitol at night and it will take them to the rotunda and the show them the painting of the signing of a declaration, trumbull was a

but what an amazing actress and beautiful woman but you know tony and john were adamant that it should be an unknown and they wanted it to be me because brad was very lucky because if these was released that year yeah that's a year so what did he i mean it's difficult to remember now but the mainstream media press predictably at the time they compared your walk to marilyn monroe but not in a good way and it was it all very snidely you know i'm married i think nowadays people could see what was said but i really don't read that that's their opinion and i knew i was a different looking kind of actress to a lot of actresses who had done roles need roles in films did you realise you were a bit after that in your office you go to so many more roles did you realize at the time you were part of a new generation of actors as it's been called with albert finney told courtney richard harris all men by the way but i think. you sort of did i came from liverpool because that's where i'm from and and then to london and then i was involved with the royal court theatre and a lot of actors from all ove

so i tried many, many times, but i just couldn't rate for john adams. and then i said in the modern era, but charlie, his character is a really good and decent person, but it's also kind of naÏve. it just wasn't believable and 2015, 2016. so then 1954, which actually brought a lot of things home because then i could write about washington and really plunge into the world doesn't is back then as opposed to if i wrote it in a modern era and it would just be weird. and then, the 1950s with such a curious time in american popular culture. it's idea like answer rain, but it wasn't honestly at all that way. first of all, it was a horribly racist and sexist. but ancient history, but beyond that, was full of mccarthyism, and segregation was about school segregation was about to be ruled on comp to chanel. it was a time ofur real people beneath a serving surface. it would fit well with the plot i wanted to do. so if you write about the 50s, you have to write about mccarthy because he was the character. joe mccarthy at the beginning of 1954 at the height of his

three of our founding fathers, thomas jefferson, benjamin franklin and john adams negotiated a treaty of friendship and commerce with frederick the great in 1785, establishing a basis for the special relationship that we enjoy today. americans were effected in other ways by this city when some of the best and brightest people active in berlin came to the united states. albert einstein, george gross, kurt weil. the list of former residents of this city who changed the face of modern america is practically limitless. all right. he is just told me and now they want to create heaven on earth. the -- we celebrate with you today -- well -- [ applause ] thank you. thank you. well, i thank you very much, and i wish you well. so, we do celebrate with you today, remembering the heroic deeds of these, all of them here on this platform, and all berliners and the long-standing relationship between our two countries. but let's not forget the painful lessons of the not so recent past and draw on those experiences. together, we can build a better future for this city, for europe, and for the world. a

i tried many, many times, but i just couldn't credibly write for john adams. then i set it in the modern era, but charlie, his character is, he's a really good and decent person, but he's also kind of naive. and his naivete just wasn't believable in 2015, 2016. so then i set it in 1954 which actually brought a lot of things home for me because then i could write about washington and really plunge into the world as it was back then as opposed to if i wrote it to the modern era, people would be -- it would just be weird. and then also the 1950s was such a curious time in american popular culture. idyllic and serene, but it wasn't obviously at all that way. first of all, it was a horribly racist and sexist period of this nation's history. but beyond that it was also full of mccarthyism, the red scare, the atomic race, segregation was about to -- school segregation was about to be rule unconstitutional. it was a time of real upheaval and menace beneath the serene surface. so it seemed like a good, it would fit well with the plot i wanted to do. and also -- so if y

that's why john adams in 1797, as president of the united states, said, look, this constitution was meant for a moral and religious people. it's holy inadequate for the government -- wholly inadequate for the government of any other. and he was right. d when you fail to instill those moral understandings that brought c.s. lewis around from being an atheist to being one of and greatest tive apologists for christianity in its history, we got to get back to that. or the constitution cannot work. and you'll have administrations at commit heinous, reproachable acts as leaders of he nation. we ask that god bless america. but there's certain things a nation of people are supposed to do to be blessed people and merit the blessings of heaven as our founders often referred to hem. .et's stand up for what's right let's stop the political vindictiveness. and the nation will be better and be more likely to be blessed. yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. does the gentleman have a motion? mr. gohmert: i move we do now hereby adjourn. the speaker pro te
