located in washington, d.c., near the u.s. capitol, union station opened in 1907. at the time, it was one of the largest train stations in the world. we toured the building with the president of the union station redevelopment corporation to learn about its history. we also hear from architect john bowie about the original construction and recent restoration. >> hello. i would like to welcome you to union station. this is a magnificent building here in washington, d.c., just a couple of blocks from the u.s. capitol building. presidentc.e.o. and of the redevelopment corporation, a nonprofit in washington, d.c., is responsibility for stewardship of this building. this building was built in 1907. it was not only one of the largest buildings in the world, but it was certainly the most magnificent train station that had been built to date. this station has undergone many changes throughout the year. it was completed in 1912 and entered into service during world war i when the uso took over part of the building. and then of course, through the 1920's and depression it we

martha washington and george washington married -- it was her second marriage. all of the money was hers. when he married her, he made a really good catch. her first husband had died, and she was accustomed to considerable comfort and wealth in virginia where she lived with her first husband. and so, she transfers that tell skill that she has already amassed as the wife of a wealthy plantation owner when she marries george washington who is still finding his way when he becomes a commander in the revolution. when we look at somebody like martha washington and save the iness of her outfit, i think that balances really well with the focus of the piercing gaze she gives us. again, this is somebody not to be messed with. she was a short in stature, but i think she was mighty in personality. and charles willson peale's portrait of her is a wonderful study in determination. i mean, just look at that chin. she is not somebody that is going to acquiesce to anyone, even her husband, president george washington. we talked about marquis lafayette as a young man, his portra

one of the questions you're asking this week is is washington changing him or he changing washington. probably both, right? >> my panel concluded, hands down, washington's winning. . >> why? i would think you would say that right now, right? >> in the first 100 days they have had the upper hand. whether it's stopping obamacare, whether it's frankly changing the president's mind on china. changing the president's mind on nato. holding him back from the brink on nafta. vice president took a little issue with the idea that washington's winning. he believes that they are making progress here in bringing change, but i think that the biggest struggle they have is that when you look at it, there's two ways to look at the first 100 days. one hand it's a ramp-up and you don't want to be judged and you have your term remaining. if you look at the president. things get even harder. and this has been a very difficult first 100 days for him, small legislative victories. how is this going to look in the next 18 months? it's not clear. >> well talking with the vice president, that's not the only exc

the state of washington's secretary of war, henry knox, in the 1790s in letters he wrote to washington about the need for a just treatment of these native people, our modern anthropologists would praise and applaud. but purchasing the indians' rights to the land and assimilating or protecting them depended on an orderly and steady pace of settlement. but the ordinary white settlers moved west -- who moved west flush with confidence that they were, indeed, the chosen people of god, their leaders told them they were, paid no attention whatsoever to what knox was saying and to what the leaders back in philadelphia and the capital were trying to do. they went ahead and rapidly and chaotically scattered westward and stirred up warfare with the indians into which the federal government was inevitably drawn. democracy and demography did the same for other hopes and plans of the founders. all of the prominent leaders thought that the liberal principles of the revolution would eventually destroy the institution of slavery. when even southerners like jefferson, patrick henry and henry lawrence p

washington is curious. he says, you kept me waiting for 10 minutes and hamilton says, i only kept you waiting two minutes and they argue about it. unrelenting in his disapproval and hamilton is furious. he writes to a man who would be his father-in-law, "i always disliked the office of having a kind of personal dependence. for three years past i have felt no friendship for him and have professed nun. -- none. our dispositions are the opposite of each other and the pride of my timbered and would not suffer me to profess what i did not feel." i have an 18-year-old son who says the same thing about me on a regular basis.

caller: the people there in the capitol, washington, d.c. are, not representing the american people's safety and security. we are upset also. we could care less about donald trump's taxes. we have too much trouble with our own. we are upset over the fact that our sons are can't afford spent their time in the military and can't afford to have health insurance but obama carrie i.r.s. took $1,200 out of their i.r.s. refund again this year. and that is theirs. our safety and security and the interest of the american people and the senators in the creme -- congressmen up there in the capital need to start working to protect the american people! thank you very much. caller: i think it is very important donald trump show his taxes. donald trump called on mitt romney to release his taxes. it's hard time that the american people come to grips with the fact that donald trump is a pathetic serial liar. he has no morals. i mean, if you're accused of groping 16 women and you are going to call them all liars, which we know is not true, then you have a pro

washington was not always a successful military man. he was not successful in leaving troops in the french and indian war. he had to learn to distinguish the obvious from the not obvious. here is one, make sure you locate the latrines are a enough -- far enough away you are not expecting your troops -- in fact in your troops -- infecting your troops with diseases. the second was learn effective intelligence gathering. that was less obvious, he had to learn under the circumstances of the revolutionary war. it was not so easy. how to find most beneficial intelligence. establish clear rules, this is pretty clear, no drunkenness in the ranks, no cursing in the ranks. these were rules he put into place. he knew that he was not a great orator. he knew his own witnesses. presidentshree great he is the least skilled in , oratory of the three great presidents. he wrote quite beautifully for someone at the time only had a grade school education but he tended to be rather soft-spoken. he was not a great orator. he tended to get nervous in crowds.
