let me start, this president, this press secretary is seeming determined to screw up and contradict themselves day after day after day. would it be not more simple to simply step forward and talk candidly to the american people? >> that would require a real president. i have never seen the administration, especially one by the renowned constitutional scholar that we have and the white house that does that seem to underssand that the presiden is in charge of the executive branch and while he is able to take credit for all the wonderful things that can happen , our military kills osama ,

administration. a political operative. and he is the one standing before the american people saying things like, the law is irrelevant. the benghazi attacks were largely irrelevant. who edited the talking points i irrelevant and ambassador susan rice is owed an apology. your thoughts? >> irrelevant is a word he obviously learned the therefore you went on the talk shows. the idea that you can simply dismiss all of these issues is the last refuges of administration that does not want to talk about substance. the fact is, they had a view of the world that says these are not terrorist attacks. must be something else. they still own up to the story about the mom a video, and the susan rice talking points are symbolic of the entire story line that they developed. but it is also emblematic of th larger administration. he is a political hack of with that to -- that is who is running a government. we have a president he still thinks that being president's still consists of giving speeches in going on in the running campaign. in some ways we should be happy for that, but the fact is, unless the president takes charge, and then lessee gives signals his cabinet officers,

straight face, it is -- it is just -- >> flabbergasting. an insult to the american people . this is that the administration that came in and i were saying there were going to be that mos transparent

tell costs and his main role, will have here in a letter there, but it is protecting the king. this is what is happening. they're conducting this administration as if there were an imperial presidency. we have a representative democracy. these individuals have to answe to the american public through their representatives, and i think this level of frustration is going to grow and grow

hill, reconstructing how we might think about the revolutionary era, geographically, politically , and in the illogically. joining me now, author of bunke hill, nathaniel, great to have you with us. congratulations on the book. i want to start with something you say which is, you like to work from 1-hand accounts of war . why is that and how the you fin something new to say about bunker hill, for crying aloud? >> it is a battle that we all sort of have heard about what i find it in the historic event, even if it is well-known, once you get into the archives and the get the letters and diaries are written by participants and use those voices, you get a different sense of what happened . it was just a horrific event. lou: we're putting it up on the screen right now. most people scratch their heads and think, my gosh. the year before 1776. what happened during that time. that is why this is important because it set the stage for everything that was to follow. what is the one misperception shared by most americans that you would like to fix, if you will? >> one of the misconceptions that i had going into this was that it was patriot's verses british, black-and-white from the very beginning. when i quickly began to realize was how big rig there was in th middle. did not know which side they would go to because no one is talking about independence. it is a representation, and eve the most radical patriots still want to be a part of the empire and for me it was amazing to watch how that a group in the metal had the two sides. all of this happened well befor the declaration of independence. lou: i cannot help but think as you talk about the role, the patriots you're basically arguing for status quo but denying, if you will, governments, that is sort of resonating today. you hear people talk about taking america back. it is hard to see which error they really want to retreat to. it is so startling to think how a pardon the status quo is to s many revolutionaries, particularly the american revolutionaries. >> britain was the one wanting @% go in the modern direction and retool the empire so that everyone within a was paying fo their upkeep. the colonists particularly in the northeast have been on thei own in what was known as the salutary neglect. so what they wanted was to stay the way that it has always been the society that the four fathers died for, they wanted t keep it. so quite a conservative initial impulse before it went into independence. lou: the book is bunker hill written by nathaniel filbert. one of thh things that strikes me as we wrap up. about 30 seconds. as this one to mention, the number of americans killed in the revolutionary war, i think that they stunned many here do not understand that if you were killed in the war itself. >> wallow, and in the batter -- battle of bunker hill was the bloodiest battle of the work. montreal was different. lou: you will let everyone find out how different. we recommend the book
