for washington's army. in fact, in battles around philadelphia, washington's going to lose, and the capital is going to be occupied by the british army. this is one of the major low points of the war and it's going to force washington to go on the defensive as a retreat. meanwhile, further north, the british have a plan. it involves this man, gentlemanly johnny burghley. ok, so he gets the name gentlemanly johnny because of his love of fine wine, fine clothes. he's a ladies man and a playwright. so, the mission is for him to march south from canada. another british force to march north from new york city along the hudson and cut off new england. problems with this are it's a long march through treacherous terrain, now means forests, and he has exceptionally long baggage, meaning he's lugging a lot of stuff. he has a cart dedicated just to his champagne. that may sound ridiculous, so why dragging your champagne through the woods of upstate new york? it's not as ridiculous in the period, and that's because br

and it is president washington. even though he did not live in the house, he built a house, like he was going to live in it. that is not to suggest washington wanted to be president forever, it is to suggest he thought the president's house needed to represent the head of the state for a strong new republic. that was the vision he had for that house. even though he had no intention of living there. it was interesting seeing the dynamic go back-and-forth between him and jefferson. jefferson had a different idea of what the house should look like. as lindsay alluded to earlier there was not much in , washington, d.c. it was mostly farmland, swamps, marshes. to put this incredibly striking stone building in the middle of the national capital was to send a message to the rest of the world that the united states president should be respected and it should be a symbol that is treasured by its people. susan: while we are on the subject of george washington, you mentioned your dissertation which is on his tomb and the creat

washington insiders get taxpayer money. members of congress get reelected, and the system works for everyone except the american people. this kind of self-interest builds on itself as members spend more and more time in office. in an age in which the partisan divide intractable, it is remarkable that public support for congressional term limits remains strong across already lines. in poll after poll, conducted over decades, americans who are republicans, who are democrats, who are independents, americans who are conservatives, who are liberals, or moderates, men or women who are anglo-american, or african-american, or hispanic, all support term limits by overwhelming margins. for example, a 2018 mclaughlin & associates poll found that 82 percent of americans support term limits for congress, including 89 percent of -- including 89% of republicans, but also 76% of democrats support term limits. 83 percent of independents support term limits. 72% of hispanics support term limits. 70% of african-americans support term limits.

for washington's army. in fact, in battles around philadelphia, washington's going to lose, and the capital is going to be occupied by the british army. this is one of the major low points of the war and it's going to force washington to go on the defensive as a retreat. meanwhile, further north, the british have a plan. it involves this man, gentlemanly johnny burghley. he gets the name gentlemanly john lee -- johnny because of his love of fine wine, fine clothes. he's a ladies man and a playwright. so, the mission is for him to march south from canada. another british force to march north from new york city along the hudson and cut off new england. problems with this are it's a long march through treacherous forests, andmeans he has exceptionally long baggage, meaning he's lugging a lot of stuff. he has a cart dedicated just to his champagne. that may sound ridiculous, so why dragging your champagne through the woods of upstate new york? it's not as ridiculous in the period, and that's because british off

it's especially true in washington. you mentioned a minute ago some of the arguments that are frequently raised in response to the argument for term limits. one of them is it's not a panacea. it won't solve every problem. as if to suggest if we can't solve every problem with term limits, we shouldn't try to solve this one. what can you tell us about how individual members might behave differently if term limits were on the book and imposed by the constitutional amendment? >> well, we've talked a lot about it. again, the freedom that comes from being able to act for your constituents and not to act toward getting a future position on a committee or chairmanship, and most of you know sitting up there, you rock the boat your first year up here which you did, the chances of you going into elected leadership and the conference go down dramatically. it would surprise me. and so, again, if you come up and you want to get to be -- the prize when i got here was to be a senior member of appropriations. once earmarks went away, it

washington, d.c. is not just capitol hill. while the people who dominate that scene are overwhelmingly white men, the city has proud black leadership and problems like any other city. unlike most cities, d.c. is not allowed to solve them on their own. washington, d.c. is a federal district which means it's not a state, but it's not in a state. >> we would like statehood. >> when d.c. decides to legalize marijuana or hand guns, the federal government said not today, black folks, not today. i'm going to talk to these folks. >> your name? >> lamont tomson. >> you did it like a rapper. what's your name? >> pierre richards. >> mischa. >> so how did you end up here talking to me? >> we saw you outside the window and tried to gather more coworkers, but the white coworkers were like ooh! >> thanks for that ego boost. there is something about d.c. people with a chip on your shoulder. is that true? >> you say that about a couple of things. >> like d.c., some cities -- >> very proud. >> we sometimes don't get th

literally the global capital, washington was. how could he leave at a critical in deciding how to go forward, point what did he do up there? when i retired and started tracing the red it led so very , interesting places as i hope you will agree. so some background, the beginning of 1943 saw the allies at a very important turning point. in three pivotal battles, midway, el alamein and stalingrad, they had beaten off the threat of defeat in 1942, now they were going on the offensive against and the big challenge for the americans and the british was how best to win in europe. they did not trust each other. they had different national circumstances and different goals for how the war should end and britain and the united states favored different strategies, a more basic problem was that they did not trust each other. the baggage of suspicion and resentment over years since world war i, made it hard for both countries to trust the other and that's a lesson for our time. damaging relationships cannot be restored it's like flipping a s

government people in washington. not on board they are blaming trump for that and so really trump has quite a lot in front of him quite a lot to do if you want his policy to succeed we spoke to an iran that based political communications professor who says tehran wants to u.s. pressure. another says that some people in the white house that they would be able to push it would be able to. sanction. and backtracking. and iran wouldn't do much now we know especially after today that. was wrong you don't is not. find that this is going to upset president around but hopefully people like john bolton given. that iran would continue to follow the one so i think trump is understanding that some of the people who. are not giving good advice and i think that their job is in line because the. big question mark hanging over washington is being kept out of the loop on aspects of foreign policy that idea has been stirred by new york times article on cyber warfare which claims u.s. hackers attacked russia's power grid and as explain
