but we've had two presidents impeached, johnson and clinton, johnson meaning andrew johnson in the 1860st my point is no president in modern history had the divisive twitter the way this president has at his disposal but used it in such a mean spirited and ugly way. no one is safe from his twitter feed and that is disappointing. >> does that filter down to parties themselves? not just the republican party, the democratic party as well? >> there is a meanness afoot. rex tillerson said this, he was fired on twitter. what a wrong way to handle another human being. there is a meanness afoot in washington, a cavalierness, a callousness that says it's us versus them. that is the people's house. that belongs to us. they're supposed to go there to do our business. representative government engaged in informed self-governing. it's ugliness, mud throwing, name-calling. i hate you, i'm going to get you, i'm going to take you out. that's not what our founders envisioned for us. >> sophia nelson joining us. she is the author of "e pluribus one: reclaiming our founders' vision for a united america." f

andrew johnson was impeached in 1868, but he wasn't convicted.ie, but he resigned before congress had a chance to impeach him. which brings us to slick willy. >> president clinton has been impeached. >> so 90s. the house impeached him for obstruction of justice after he lied about where he put his washington monument. >> i did not have sexual relations with that woman. i did have a relationship with miss lewinsky. >> savage. but the senate didn't convict him, so clinton stayed in office. ♪ ♪ classic. now, trump seems impeachable-- >> oh, hey, stormy. >> but everything is speculated. so i asked constitutional law expert and o.j. defense team, alan dershowitz. so i asked alan dershowitz. hey, alan, how long till trump gets impeached. >> look, even if there were evidence of treason, bribery, high crimes and misdemeanor, both houses of congress are controlled by republicans, not going to happen. >> wait, all my friends on facebook are wrong? so it's unlikely trump will be. impeeched and end up in lynch field penitentiary bunching with crazy eyes. but

we had two presidents impeached, andrew johnson in the 1860's and clinton. no president in modern history had the divisive twitter in the way this president has. yes used it in such an ugly way. there is no one safe from his feed. in modern history had the divisive twitter in the way this president has. yes used it in such an ugly way. there is no one safe from his feed. host: does that filter down to parties themselves? guest: there is minas. correct -- there is meaness. rex tillerson -- what a wrong way to handle another human being. there is a callousness in washington, us versus them. that is the people's house. that belongs to us. they are supposed to represent us, engage in self-governing. that is what our founders saw for us and we're gotten far away. it is now name-calling. i am going to take you out. that is not what our founders envisioned. host: sophia nelson joining us.

i'm a union loving democrat like andrew johnson, like thousands of other union loving democrats and i would support the union party. lincoln's second presidential campaign was not run as a "rep ublican," it was run as a union party candidate. this would've been stanton's answer in the election of 1868, when he campaigned for grant against the democratic nominee, if he had been asked are you still democrat, he would've said i still believe those things i believed as a democrat but it is far more important to preserve the union and elect grant than to continue the policies of the -- of lincoln and elect grant. have read your new book, and i believe stanton and lincoln were together in some piece of litigation before the war and had some interaction. could you refresh my memory? actually -- is stanton and lincoln are both lawyers. they are both hired on the same side of a patent case. the patent case was originally set for trial in illinois. lincoln was hired as a local expert, the guy who would tell you the judge's pet peeves, the case was then transferred to cincinnati. no one bothered

won't happen now and it won't happen to andrew johnson and didn't happen with clinton and won't happen now. so trump is not going to be thrown out of office. what they're trying to do is throw salt in the ears of his agenda. that's what they will continue to do. do your job, mr. president. get the economy going at 4 percent plus and the democrats will not take control of the house in the fall and he will be reelected in 2020. >> drop that mic. >> booya! >> i think it's in fact -- if this does go down the road to impeachment, that will help the president. i don't think the president should talk to special counsel at this point. but i think it doesn't hurt him. what happens to james comey though? andrew mccabe was fired. he's been referred for criminal prosecution. what happens to james comey? >> i bet nothing. probably he has covered himself in one way or the other. nothing comes of this other than the fact when you look at the memos with the become, they contradict each other. when he talks about the memos, he was comfortable, everything was fine. they have a relationship. then he talk

same thing happened with andrew johnson sold off and a president impeached and it rallied back. neil: i remember andrew johnson and that was a touch and go thing buddy i remember that vivd ly. >> [laughter] they never planned on him being president. they put him into win the south and ended up with a guy they didn't really want. neil: there you go. go ahead. >> look i think that the market wants president trump to stay in i think president trump will it almost impossible to impeach a president. you can impeach him but you can't convict him. it takes two-thirds of the senate to do that. i don't think that's within the realm of possibility. it's all about the market here. we could be at three point something unemployment rate at the lowest in 50 years if that's the case history could change and republicans could do decent in the mid-terms. neil: i don't know where this investigation goes, jessica, it's impossible to keep track of the lawsuits and the democratic party suing everybody and andrew mccabe is suing the president for defamation and a lot of republicans are calling for an

andrew johnson during reconstruction. there were moments when woodrow wilson suppressed dissent during the first world war. there have been difficult hours before. what's remarkable here is that this was an entire campaign that was the presidential campaign, that i would argue was not about ideology but was about a brand. it was about the trump brand. the president says things that are ideological, but he has no real ideology other than himself, and honestly, and people like me don't use the word unprecedented lightly, but that's as near as unprecedented as we can get in the history of the republic. >> one thing comey says in the book when he talks about trump's personality. he said he was struck by the fact in all the meetings the president never laughed. he says after having one of the meetings with the president, comey went back and googled and looked up youtube videos to try to find examples of the president laughing, and he writes about this in his book. he says i expect his inability to do so is rooted in deep insec

i think congress lost that argument when andrew johnson tried to fire lincoln's appointees.ief investigator is fired, the investigation continues. and so on the whole, i think the president should keep mueller. if not, i'm sure the things we're discussing would even matter. >> dagen: judge andrew napolitano joins sp point pointd over, be careful what you wish for because a replacement during the watergate investigation was tougher. i want to get your take on paul ryan, less than three years into his tenure, he's leaving the position. there are worries that the gop could face an increasingly difficult election in november. your reaction to paul ryan leaving and does your attention turn to the senate an republican candidates there. >> my son is about to enter graduate school in chicago. i missed those years being at home. when he speaks of missing his children's years, i totally relate to that. it may make it tougher. i'm for scalise to take his place. he's a homey for me. i think the republicans will be able to pick up the pieces. >> dagen: senator bill cassidy, thank you for

lyndon johnson was leaving the presidency 20th of january, 1969. he went as presidents do to andrews and old johnson aides. and johnson sees in the crowd one republican that he notices. and the republican is george h.w. bush. and there was a personal relationship that went back to the fact that lindin johnson and prescott bush, george h.w.'s father, part that from connecticut, had served together in the senate. so there's this wonderful picture, i wish we had it today with lbj reaching across the crowd to shake hands with george h.w. bush. right now, you think that bush was planning to run for the senate from texas one year later. you know, nowadays, it might be taking a risk to go and shake hands and say good-bye to a democratic president, of the other party, who was unpopular. george h.w. bush it never would have occurred to him. he thought that politics should be civilized that's what he did. >> michael bishoff as we watch the motorcade go through houston. and we're listening to some of the local coverage in houston knowning on. here's the hearse. michael, the bushes have been par

johnson family. when nixon was inaugurated, they went to andrews to say good bye to the johnsons because they felt thatwrote to lady bird that all bushes love all johnsons. they were the only ones who knew the weight of the position, of living in the white house, being the first lady. you really have to have that camaraderie. barbara bush famously showed hillary clinton around the residence and hillary clinton fondly remembers that, even though they're from two different political parties. >> i loved hearing what the granddaughters had to say. because they were so, so emotional. >> i think that they truly looked up to their ganny as somebody who was the epitome of what they wanted to be, and she was from a different generation. she, you know, dropped out of college and married early and focused on her family. however, she's been incredibly encouraging of her granddaughters who are doctors and lawyers and entrepreneurs to really -- to really go and do what they -- what their passion is in this world. and they knew she was always reading and continued to do so. >> you spent a lot of time in texas with he
