us senator and confederate president jefferson davis as well as us presidents james monroe and john tyler. it's the second most visited cemetery in the country after arlington national cemetery. we continue our feature on richmond with a visit to black swan books, the local antiquarian book store. >> this is an example of a book that is not particularly valuable but is absolutely beautiful. and i love being able to sell books like this. we sometimes think oh, rare books. a rare bookshop, antiquarian. that sounds peculiar. that's not for me and i want the bookshop in business to be for everybody.i want people to come in and say oh my god, look at that gorgeous book and opened it up and find that it's $25 and they could probably afford it if they really want it and it's not $2000. that's a nice thing, i think. i wanted to go to library school and be a rare books librarian. and i was not well received. anyway, i got talked out of it. and i went to law school, i did that. i went into the ministry, i did that. nothing was really going to work out for me so 20 years ago, i bought the inventory

. >> i think john tyler made a fine of service -- servant. i never question a man's integrity or intelligent men. i think one of the toughest jobs is heading up this commission. he also is a very strong republican and supervise the issue with the report. john has faced up some tough ones before. >> am surprised the report was as in-depth and blunt in tone as it was. >> it was not a surprise. >> would you go further? >> the president was ill-served, ill-advised, and i think he ought to clean house. he did a poor job managing his immediate subordinates. i think he ought to take all of those that were directly responsible in the national security group. he up to start with don regan. >> where does he go from there? >> i am not going to run out a laundry list for you. >> there was some blunt talks about the president's problems in managing the staff through the operation. what else? >> it's the nature. that should come as no surprise. he is a man who delegates. they were detailed. there ought to be some balance in there. when you delegate to that

presidents day, jefferson also said in the middle of his presidency, writing to a future president john tylerare of leaders who are trying to shut up the press because they're fearing legitimate investigations into their actions, and that in my mind is what makes what donald trump did and said in that tweet and followed up in his florida rally so disturbing, because this feeds into the image, poppy, that many, many people have domestically and abroad, that trump has authoritarian tendencies. he always has a devil figure. for years it was barack obama who wasn't a citizen, supposedly. and then it was hen fillary cli for a couple of years. now i think his new target, maybe permanent target is the news media. it's great to have a devil figure if you're a politician, but it doesn't mean you're right. >> i think the question also becomes, brian, twofold, to what end. but more importantly, to what damage. what damage does it do to democracy. take a listen to what his republican colleague said about it over the weekend, senator john mccain and governor case sick. >> if you want to preserve democracy

then when he went back to the willard e met john tyler who is chairing the old tenants peace convention in an effort to make policy before lincoln was inaugurated. and pierce was alive. don't know if you met him. none of these people seemed to lincoln to be as powerful and influence as could overshadow him. five ex-presidents. what should we take about him thinking he could do better? >> these are the guys who had screwed up. [laughter] >> thanks a lot. [laughter] >> there must be more to this story. [laughter] >> sometimes less is more. [laughter] >> when his train passes near we went in lancaster, pennsylvania for lincoln to look out the window and see the actual home of the former president, he has the same reaction he did when he was in mount vernon. he doesn't even look out the window. it is almost as if he will not allow himself to be overcome. >> he has no love for van buren. he campaigned against him in the 1840's for harrison. van van, used up man. then van buren turned into a free soiler. lincoln with the massachusetts 1840's for harrison. to campaign against the free soil par

at this point, a virginia delegate by the name of john tyler, who had served in the senate and moved into opposition to andrew jackson, was said to have burst into tears at the thought that his hero, henry clay, had not won the nomination. he denied that. whether or not he burst into tears is a matter for conjecture. thatast he did something had everybody turning around and saying, we could nominate tyler. which eventually they did and the ticket of tippecanoe and 1840 too was born, the election was a watershed election, harrison was running against martin van buren who was the hand-picked successor of andrew johnson. and urine had been elected in , he, running for reelection had bad luck of having the economy goes south on him. pretty much right after he dropped his right hand from taking the oath of office in 1837. the bubble finally burst. there were bad economic times. and -- which is another factor for being three candidates coming forward for the whig nomination because it looked like it was worth something. as it turns out, the election was a lot closer than it also appeared.

and then when he went back to the willard, he met john tyler who was chairing the old gentleman's peace convention in an effort to sort of make the policy before lincoln was inaugurated. so i guess that, pierce, pierce was alive and we don't know if he met him. but none of the people seemed to lincoln to be as powerful and influence as could overshadow him. five ex-presidents. what should we take from the fact that there were so many there and what he thought of them and whether he thought that he could do better? >> well, these are the guys that screwed up, right? >> there must be more to the story, right? >> i don't know. sometimes slesz moless is more. >> and when the train passes wheatland in lancaster for lincoln to look out the window, and see the actual home of the former president, he has the same reaction that he did when he was in mount vernon and as john hay writes, he does not look out the window. it is almost as if he won't allow himself to be overcome. >> there is no love for van buren campaigning in 1840 for harrison, and bam, bam, the used up man. and then van buren turn

john? >> tyler, sean spicer came into the white house briefing room, first of all, expressed satisfaction with this jobs report today, said it had to do with higher confidence in the u.s. economy since donald trump's election. certainly some of the obama team would say since he was president till january 20th. he had something to do with it, too. sean spicer also claimed credit for the new deal announced between the pentagon and lockheed martin for the f-35 fighter jet. this has been a subject of donald trump's twitter pressure, twitter diplomacy. sean spicer said the savings had come about as a result of the president's efforts. >> another great deal was reached with lockheed martin. total of -- 55 were purchased for u.s. military that added up to a total of $455 million savings for u.s. taxpayers with an average cost reduction of 7.5%. another big win that the president has delivered on for u.s. taxpayers. >> it's important to note that the pentagon had announced in december, before the president's intervention, that the cost for the next lot of f-35s were already coming down by approximatel

john harwood is in washington. >> hi, tyler. the president is getting off the dime and giving congress signals of where he wants to go on policy. let's just run thus quickly what are the elements. >> there's no white house plan for infrastructure improvements. we've had a talk about a trillion dollar plan, but no details. no replacement plan for obamacare. we still don't have a tax cut plan. many questions about whether both individuals and corporate can be done. the president said today about retailers, he intended to lower rates, at call gyres of income. steve mnuchin, his treasury secretary had said something different, but we simply don't have the details. what are the obstacles facing the administration that is slowing down their proing? of course we saw the depart earlier this week, but a lot of factions one the white house that are futuring. secondly his team is not complete. not just flynn. we have reports that andy pud cert may be withdrawing his nomination senate republicans are not denying a report that they've asked
