c-span: alexander--i mean, andrew jackson. >> guest: andrew jackson was--was known as a dueler. c-span: killed somebody. >> guest: yes. yes. indeed. in fact, it was--this was particularly awful because the young man's gun--it was a much younger man--gun was -- was -- misfired, so he had to just stand there while jackson points his gun and kills him. but, yes. i mean, so the--the federalists--to get back to your question, so the federalists in the early part of the 19th century were dramatically defeated by jefferson. not that it was a landslide; it was very even. but they're so astounded that they would be turned out of office, and then after that they are the conservers of a more traditional set of political values. c-span: you mention that after the war of 1812 veterans received 160 acres of land. >> guest: mm-hmm. mm-hmm. c-span: how did that work? and what impact did that have on where people went in those years? >> guest: it had a big--another surge forward into the west. some veterans would sell those bounties--they might set up a store and sell the bounty. so there was al

and andrew jackson. why is he on our money? indian killer, manifest destiny. horrible man.ton, hamilton wanted the big banks, the monarchy and the writer of most of the federalist papers. lincoln. you know that -- i always thought lincoln freed the slaves, and he did. you know who he credited for freeing the slaves? this is going to get me in trouble with everybody but michele bachmann. the founders, that's who he said freed the slaves and this guy, he's almost a cartoon to me until the last two years. i did not tell a lie. let's eat some cherry pie. the indispensable man and my hero. man, it's been a wild ride. so many things have been said. i'm -- i don't know if you know, i'm the first antisemitic jew lover. i don't know how that's possible but it is. i'm the only host simultaneously the most dangerous person in america because my influence and the least influential person in america because my ratings are declining. which i don't know how that works. that one's not true, either. this program broke every single record in the 5:00 p.m. time slot, every single record. it's

a person mentioned androgens and -- andrew jackson in an unfavorable way. i just finished reading a book about tecumseh, the shawnee indian who devoted most of his life according to the author to trying to join the indian tribes into a confederation which would be much stronger to fight the european innovation and taking the indian lands. what is the viewpoint from the native american standpoint about tecumseh compared to the favorable view.in this book? >> guest: we think -- i think he is amazing. he was wonderful. he was a profit. his brother was a profit. there -- they traveled together. he wanted to do something that would have been an impossibility. that would have resulted in mass genocide. of the people in the southeast. but his ideas were really very good. when he came to talk to us, he gave a long speech about why he would not -- he was wrong on his reasons. but he was right not to join together. but tecumseh said this truth that i am not a fake or a phony, when i get back to detroit the earth will shake and buildings will fall. when he got to detr

all along the way there were places where we couldn't go to the andrew jackson hotel, we couldn't go to morten's cafeteria. there was a paramount theatre, we had to go in the back door, separate water fountains. it was a very negative experience. when i got to the library, right above the door, all are welcome. i could go in the front door. i could remember the librarian, she had a bonnet on the back of her head. very sensible shoes. i look at librarians today, that is how they look. she always spoke in a whisper. didn't talk out loud in the library. whispered. she was so kind to me that i loved librarians. when they ask me to do something, it is hard for me to say no. and that is why i flew in the dark at night from atlanta to come out here. [laughter]. but it is because of that generosity of the national public library. so i went there to get my books and i would bring them home and read all 3. then the next week i would take them back to the library. i would read often. when you read better, you read success. i credit the national public library with my successes as a young reader

incident or an ideology that we should start to take seriously with numbers like george washington andrew jackson and so your book berlusconi so we not all freemasons think the way anders breivik does but for more on the psychology behind this organization earlier i spoke to radio host alex jones and here's what he had to thrive. well you just got back from bohemian grove in your great coverage there that i watched and that is a masonic organization it's admittedly masonic and they carry out some of the more archaic and secretive rituals there and then it's even been covered by national geographic magazine showing over a hundred year old photographs of them engaging in a black magic ritual there so they're different branches of the masonic system and what happens is private intelligence agencies government intelligence agencies criminal groups try to infiltrate different arms of masonic lodges because of the secrecy they can organize behind closed doors and compartmentalize areas that's why the illuminati and seven hundred seventy six at ingle scott university in bavaria germany was found inside

show he's in austin texas alex this is an organization with members including george washington andrew jackson but also jesse jackson silvio berlusconi hard to argue that the entire membership thinks the way anders breivik does but i wanted to get into the psychology behind this organization i know you've looked into it a bit what do you make of this. sure well you just got back from bohemian grove of your great coverage there that i watched and that is a masonic organization and it's admittedly masonic and they carry out some of the more archaic and secretive rituals there and it's even been covered by national geographic magazine showing over a hundred year old photograph of them engaging in a black magic ritual there so there are different branches of the masonic system and what happens is private intelligence agencies government intelligence agencies criminal groups try to infiltrate different arms of masonic lodges because of the secrecy they can organize behind closed doors in compartmentalise areas that's why the illuminati and seven hundred seventy six that it will start university in

it's an incredibly complex culture, in the past, and then we were then removed because of andrew jackson's policies. and corruption and ended up in oklahoma, which was i.t., indian territory. and oklahoma from our word meaning red people. the united states government wanted to build a wall around oklahoma and place all the indian people of america inside of it, of the americas, you know, this continent. the idea was to keep everyone from going out so the soil could remain with white americans and immigrants who wanted to farm. the erosion, the eroded area, but we ended up in the area around southeastern oklahoma and we're still there. we survived civil war and land graft and corruption and the dawes act gave us our reservation and it happened in minnesota and numerous other places so we lost our reservation system and in that way we lost our land and we survived the sooners and i always wondered why all of our guys really like the sooners because i keep thinking doesn't anyone ever think about what that word means? >> host: what does it mean? >> guest: it's from the oklahoma land run, the

andrew jackson.. >> he left out a lot more of his memorable tv moments like take a look at a few of these. >> this president, i think, has exposed himself as a guy over and over and over again who has a deep-seeded hatred for white people or the white culture. >> i feel like president obama is saying you know what, i've got the $3.5 trillion budget we're doing. is this cold? i tonight am going to take you from french fries to riots. nazi tactics are progressive tactics. why would you get a gun? to prepare for tough times. you're not alone. i'm turning into a fricking televangelist. i think i've wasted your time. >> joining me now, senior fellow at media matters. i didn't get invited. i'm sure you had a party over at media matters. where was my invitation? >> we had a party earlier in the week. we had a couple hundred people come over and celebrate the end of glenn beck. >> you had a list of his advertisers and you made -- you helped 27% dip in his ratings. i mean, how much of those factors do you thi

we then were removed because of andrew jackson's policies and corruption. and ended up in oklahoma which was indian territory. and oklahoma is from our word meaning red people. the united states government wanted to build a wall around oklahoma and place all the indian people of america inside of it. of this continent. the idea was to keep everyone from going out so the oil could belong to white americans and immigrants and people coming in who wanted to farm. in fact, black kettle's band was chased across kansas so often, hero of the land of goodland kansas. but we ended up in the area around southeastern oklahoma and we are still there. we survive a civil war, and land graft and corruption and the dog act which was giving us allotments, what happened on the white earth reservation in minnesota and numerous other places. so we lost our reservations system. in that way lost our land. we survived -- i always wonder why all of our guys really like the suitors. doesn't anyone think about what the word means? >> host: what does it mean? >> guest: they assumed t

. >> covering your jackson, andrew jackson against john quincy adams. >> there were hand bills that accused jackson of massacring indians. indians. >> it on the flip side. adams was accused pimping out to the ambassador of russia. >> and glover cleveland runs for president. >> of course, grover cleveland didn't run for anything. he shambled slowly if you'd seen his size. he had an out of wedlock child and that became an issue, hey, ma, where is pa? and after he won the election, proponents went to the white house. >> he was a bachelor and admitted he might have fathered this child out of wedlock and he paid for the child. >> that's right. >> and the public apparently accepted that. >> 80 years later. lyndon johnson running against barry goldwater? >> yeah, this is the classic of modern negative campaign ad. the daisy ad. the girl picking flowers. >> john: starts innocently enough. >> and it's going to start a countdown for a nuclear bomb being dropped and implication is that barry goldwater was a mad bomber. a magazine called fact wrote a name claim being he was insane. >> and it was talked

>> andrew jackson back in the 19th century in effect did it, but what we're talking about now is the potential of a constitutional crisis, because article 4 of the 14th amendment to the constitution clearly says in effect, we will pay our debts. we, the people of the united states, will pay our debts, period. it doesn't mention, doesn't mention the president or executive branch, but that's what it says. so the constitutional scholars, i can't say they're split evenly on this subject, that several people in the internet, one in particular, has said, what it amounts to for the president, if push comes to shove, finally gets down to it, this is a fire ax on the wall for him. it's not my praise, i'm sorry to say. as a last resort, he could say, article 4 of the 14th amendment of the constitution says we will pay our debts. you people say we're not going to pay our debts. i'm taking it from here. in theory, he can do that, but as a practical matter looking forward, with any president, particularly this one facing re-election possibility next year, wants to point the country into a constit

bush's interruption, there would have been a debt of america paid off for the first time since andrew jacksonforgotten history, if they ever knew it. they are forgetting that we did this at a time and created the greatest wealth in american history, and we didn't savage those things that are going to produce the jobs of the future in america. what i'm afraid they are doing today is coming in with such an amount of zeal and absolutism, they are going to eat america's seed corn with some of the cuts. the cuts are so severe at a time where our economy is already fragile that what they are going to do is to actually hurt our ability to grow out of this deficit problem. i voted for the balanced budget. i understand how we need to get there. i also was one of the first three co-sponsors of the graham/rudman/holings deficit reductions in the 1980s with president rigan. i do know what i am talking about. there is a way to get there, but there is a responsible, shared sacrifice, thoughtful way to get there and not this reckless, irresponsible, my way or highway approach. >> senator john kerry, we are

when jefferson heard andrew jackson almost one the world of eight -- was deeply disillusioned the national government that can out of the constitution ten years later so something awful had to have been between 1776 and 1787 to convince people to create a national government hadn't even been on their radar screen, and they know how strong that government is because we still live under it, so the thing that happened was a series of weaknesses in the articles but more important was the future of democracy running amok, and that's what made madison to create his virginia plan and the result of the constitution which acts as a kind of limit on democracy. the courts became a very important federalist device in the democracy. we don't like to think in this term because we have tremendous trust in the people but we know we have all kind of limitations on the people. we don't like unadulterated majoritarian democracy, and if the egyptians or the other states create just majoritarian democracy, then they experienced some of the problems the american face in the 70's because we want limits, we want

those are the two terrifying narratives, andrew jackson and another one is anonymous. we don't know his name. he was a fugitive, still running from bounty hunters when the story was published. then the last three, although samuel had an edge. the other two, jacob and irving were much more complicated narratives. because i wouldn't say they had good things to say about slavery, but they weren't testimony to violence. :

it's an incredibly complex culture in the past, and we then were removed because of andrew jackson's policies, and corruption and ended up in oklahoma which was it, indian territory, and oklahoma is from our word means red people, but united states government wanted to build a wall around oklahoma and place all the indian people of america inside of it of the americas, you know, this continent, and the idea was to keep everyone from going out so that the soil could belong to white americans and the immigrants and people coming in who wanted to farm, and, in fact, black kettles band was chased across kansas so often that eroded the land of goodland, kansas which is now a highway, the eroded area, but we ended up in the area around southeastern oklahoma, and we're still there. we survived civil war, and land graph and corruption, the daws act, giving us allotments which happened on the reservation in minnesota and numerous other places so we lost our reservation system, and in that way lost our lands. we survived the sooners, and i always wonder why all of our guys really like the soon

some are terrifies and powerful narrative the of john andrew jackson, and the other is anonymous.he was a fugitive when he wrote and still writing when his story was published. the last three although sam had an edge to him, but the other two, jacob and herbie were post narratives because i wouldn't say they had good things to say about slavery, but they spoke about a lot of love they experiencedded in their lives as -- experienced in their lives as slaves. one of no stall jibing at moments and that's hard, troubling, and fascinating to understand why he would articulate his life story in such a way. i hope readers come through that south carolina slavery across the state was different from each individual and these are voices of people who wanted to be read. these are not general interviews, but people who wrote their story and wanted it out in the way they framed them. it's beautiful and troubling and frightening in some ways some of them, but i think they all speak to a new way we can learn to listen to the stories perhaps. >> thank you very much. >> sure thing. >> hear this we

when jefferson heard that andrew jackson almost won the election of 1824, he was appalled. he says, that man has no college education. he's a ruffian from the west. fortunately, jefferson died in 1826, and he department actually get to see jackson get to be president. [laughter] so they were all, those who live into the 19th century, were deeply disillusioned with what they would wrought. i don't know of any who wasn't -- i mean, franklin died in 1790, you know? thankfully, because he didn't witness this world. but those who lived into the 19th century were deeply disillusioned with the populism, the kind of democracy that had emerged. it was much too vulgar, much too plebe yang. >> and, of course, the founders did not start out wanting to create a democracy. >> not that kind of democracy. >> not that kind of democracy. >> no. i mean, they wanted -- they didn't have any objection to voting, be but they wanted -- i mean, the institution is kind of a curve on democracy. one of the problems the founders faced was the acceptance of democracy. state legislatures running wild pas

it's only not been in debt under one time limited under andrew jackson.t has, basically, had an annual budget that was in the black just about five times over the last five decades. and, you know, both sides of the aisle, though, allison, have supported a balanced budget amendment. you know, going back to jimmy carter, remember jerry brown, the liberal who ran against carter for the presidency, was for a balanced budget. it almost passed in 1997, but it failed by just one vote in congress. back to you. alisyn: it's hard not to be for a balanced budget, but, of course, doing it is a different story. >> yeah, that's right. alisyn: liz macdonald, great to talk to you. thank you. jon: nasa is scheduled right now to provide an update on the final launch in the u.s. space shuttle program. we are waiting to hear whether the space agency says the weather situation will allow atlantis to lift off tomorrow. an estimated one million people are going to be disappointed if it doesn't. they're already down there on hand to watch the launch, and they are saddened to see

we would next year be paying down the debt of our nation completely for the first time since andrew jackson was president of the united states. everybody here knows why we went off track. i don't need to go through that again now. but i think that we will not be able to resolve this current impasse until colleagues on both sides of the aisle, and especially in the house, where there seems to be the greatest ideological resistance to common sense right now, decide to put aside that ideology and decide what is best for the united states of america. we can't be responsible if we don't get serious first. far too much is at stake for the senate to do anything less than the united states senate was intended to do at moments like this. we are called the world's greatest deliberative body. there aren't many americans who would look at us right now and give us that appropriate moniker. we have to earn it. and i think in the next hours we can do that, madam president. and i thank the chair and i thank my colleagues for their forebearance. a senator: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator

through this matter, from orlando, phil keating is live and from new york, judge andrew napoll tea -- napolitano and joe jackson. if she is released, what do you understand if anything about where she goes? >> >> reporter: i'm outside of the courthouse, a budge of demonstrators are out there, you've got cops on horseback and crowd control issues inside and long-haired casey anthony, possibly hasn't cut her hair for the past two years, ten minutes. every mile within this courthouse, since october 14, 2008, the big question, she's got smiles from ear to ear owl morning in -- all morning in that courtroom, is today the day she walks free if in fact belvin p.y does make that her sentence, considering time served and perhaps not stack the four years back to back but have them consecutively serve. she could walk free. that would not happen at the courthouse, she would be taken to the orange county jail, most likely driven to an undisclosed private, secret location to then be released into the public to avoid any potential conflict with any unruly crowds outside of the jail. when inmates are housed at the orange count
