ok. >> this is about andrew jackson. is it true that he went on to bankrupt the first national bank or was clearly against it? >> jackson had many feuds. when jackson picked a fight, he was in it to win it. jackson -- negotiate was not a part of jackson's vocabulary. one of the many feuds was with the u.s. bank. ironically, here's a little tidbit of history. jackson was fure wsious with the way the bank was run. over the same way today we might see the role of the government. republicans might say the debt and deficit are too big. democrats might have to say we need to build more infrastructure, we need more education or energy funding and support from the government. is the bank a proper role for government or improper role for the government? it was a huge argument at the time. jackson's -- the president before jackson, john quincy adams, was the first president to really give us what we might call infrastructure and public works projects. he built canals and roads. they weren't paved, but they were roads. today we'd se

there are whole biographies on andrew jackson that never mention this, and that is andrew jackson as somebody who figured out how to profit greatly from public policy. profit from public policy. so here's what jackson would do. he would be getting ready to have a fight with the indians and drive them off their land and push them further west, and the whole idea was that this land would then be auctioned off to settlers. but since andrew jackson knew which land was going to become available before the fight, he would send in his private surveyors who would determine the value of that land which would then be reported privately to him. he would then contact his buddies who were investors, and those guys would bid on the land before it even became available for sale. in fact, they would bid on the land before the indians had even been thrown off the land. in this way, andrew jackson went from -- to use a phrase from hillary clinton -- dead broke to becoming one of the richest men in the country. he was worth in today's money over $100 million. and be he took this money, and he bought him

do you ever read books on andrew jackson. my great grandfather. forcibly removed. i used to tell people when i was five years old i wasn't sure who andrew jackson was but i knew he was a very bad man who have done eagle -- evil things. i remember when robert remedy was a story in the house. he is a big reader. the invite me up to have lunch with dr. remedy. he prevents me -- presents me with a copy. because rodney i think it was his great grandfather theater who actually ran under ticket. we were both sort of a jackson enemies by dissent. i remember him handling me the book. you probably won't agree with my thesis in this book. they saved them because they push them further out and kept them from being totally overrun. that was a unique explanation. it was in the southeast part of the country. i will say this i remember having gone to the same timeframe we've a great festival which is a site of the old capital. there are thousands of them to come to this thing. it is amazing. we were a large tribe. you know have anything anywhere near that size on the east coast. w

won a pulitzer for his biography of andrew jackson, which is amazing book. i recently saw some discussion where it is comparing donald trump to andrew jackson. i thought clearly this guy has not read jon's book. [laughter] would never, never be making that connection. he just finished biography of president bush, a man that i, like so many just admire and love. it is really extraordinary book. it captures not only a man but an era. and that wasn't intimidating enough, jon sort of writes on the side. he has done things like editor of "newsweek." he teaches at vanderbilt. he teaches at suwanee. for many of us his most significant achievement he is married to this wonderful, brilliant woman from the mississippi delta. so we can claim him. and if you ever have a chance to hang around with both of them you realize jon is actually the dummy of the family. the subject here is presidential year and i wanted to start out with you you, senator. i just have to ask, how many types this year have you said it yourself, after you wrote this book everything you talked about

. >> host: given your oklahoma race committee ever read books of andrew jackson? >> guest: by great, great grandfather, it was forcibly removed from mississippi, so we were raised -- i used to tell people when i was five years old i wasn't sure who andrew jackson was, but i knew he was a very bad man who had if of things. my grandma literally wouldn't carry a 20-dollar bill. but i remember when proper remedy was to historian of the house had also written a wonderful book on congress. but roy blunt, he's a big reader. you should talk to them sometime. at one time he invites me a wendy's chief web to have lunch with dr. read many. he presents me with a copy of jackson's indian wars and he presents rodney with a copy of henry clay biography because they think it was his great, great grandfather, theodore, who ran on the ticket with henry clay. also held the floor against indian removal for three days. so we were both sort of jackson and amazed by this sense. but it is a wonderful lunch and i remember him handed me the book and say them now, you probably won't agree w

received at this particular book festival than i did eight years ago when i was here to talk about andrew jackson who has had a rough couple of months you might know. but i was on my way to give my talk about jackson and a woman ran up to me which doesn't happen enough. as a basic rule, and she she said oh my god, it's you and i said well yes. she said will you wait right here, i want you you to sign your new book. and i said yes and she brought back to christian's latest novel. so, whenever i think i am a boy wonder who survived the boy wonder hood, i remember that there is a woman somewhere in america with a forged runaway jury. so, memento mori, as the medievalists called it. i'm thrilled to be here, thank you all for being here, you are the reason and many of the reasons a lot of us do what we do. and the lonely hours of footnoting and trying to make sure that you get everything right, you are the ones on our minds to make sure that we maintain our covenant with you in terms of creating compelling, hopefully compelling narrative nonfiction. i don't know if you have all noticed there's a presi

states can't print except andrew jackson. andrew jackson killed the bank and each state started printing money and that's another story. you have the governors who think who can run the country the way you can run a state, you can't. totally different. the states don't deal with foreign policy of any magnitude. it's a completely different things. governors are not the ones prepared. people say who do you think have more prepared presidents? my answer may come as a surprise because i have found in my studies that the presidents who were best prepared were those who had expertise in history and those who also were literate. they were often times writers, students of not just history but the arts and science and all the rest and they also had proven courage. you can't have every president served in combat but it doesn't hurt. who fit this mold, the two president that is come to mind john kennedy and theodore roosevelt. both of them had -- served well in combat and had been highly decorated, both of them were students of historie

home, you would see on his small bookshelf a few books, a two-volume biography of andrew jackson, the bible, stories of great operas, and a biography of john garner. there interesting combination of books. interesting combination of books. garner and truman did not always think alike and perhaps the most important moment where they disagree was with fdr's plan in 1937 to expand the size of the supreme court. the supreme court had been deciding against new deal measures and fdr did not want the trend to continue with pending court cases, so he hoped that expanding the size of the court would solve that problem. truman was happy to support the president in that regard but garner said, "i will oppose it with all of the strength that remains to me, but i do not imagine it will be any good. why if the president asked congress to commit suicide, it would do it." so a little frustration there. not that long after in the 1940 presidential election, garner made a brief challenge to fdr that did not work out well for him, so he left washington, dc, saying he would never go back again and he nev

if andrew jackson were president he would have goran to his house and shot him. >> that's a great solution. >> no ohio all kinds of stuff about people wanting to vote at the last minute. they want to vote after the election. they want to vote at 3:00 a.m. and if you say no, you can't do any of that then you are disenfranchising them. but they drew the line the supreme court said today, guilfoyle, that in ohio you can't just have the week of sign up because they have all kinds of easy ways to do it before, right? >> so what happened was the golden week. the court today was cancelled no more golden week. >> the golden week. >> you could sign up at any time for any reason. >> there was no proof. >> that court didn't actually formally hear it they said we are not going to hear it. >> the lower court said you can't have golden week. the reason is you can't check these people that fast. so somebody can come in with fraudulent documentation the day of or the week of the state can't check it? >> the law in ohio, top ten states in the country that allows for, you know, long time in advance election

andrew jackson is an amazing who, because there is a guy functioned as president for eight years, with bullets in his body that could never be removed , failing eyesight. in theory should never have been able to do the job, but he was.and people speculated that accounts for his terrible countenance. he could have been in pain every single day of his presidency. but that is a pretty short list. >> do you think barack obama is healthy? my impression, i'm just a librarian and not a historian, but my impression is in 2008, john mccain, a much older man, and much more fragile at least on paper, more forthcoming about the state of his health and the muchstory, than younger and presumably much healthier barack obama. i think that is interesting. utah --5th amendment you had talked about, it sounded like what it says is if the president is unhealthy, it is like impeaching him. is that what it comes down to? richard: impeaching is the wrong word, because being ill has nothing to do with committing crimes, or breaking the law. it is just something that happens. so this amendment does create a pa

federal bank lending to commercial or bank borrowers over the first and second national bank's andrew jackson vetoed the renewal in 1832 this debate over federal bank institutions as the debate goes on. so the fight with contagion is october 2008 the fdic uses authority for transaction accounts to increase the insurance limits at 250,000. well thought frank increase the limits set 250 it removed the authority to raise any limits in the future. with a temporary lid queen -- liquidity program gave depository institutions this power was also taken away from dodd/frank. there was a taxpayer losses. and in addition with a run on the of money market funds to have a major impact in this also was taken away by the earlier t.a.r.p. legislation and treasury made 1.2 billion dollars on this program and what has not then cared even if their posting through the values they expect the values to go lower. with that authority to limit or charge as the commissioner observed. but the final tool is t.a.r.p. to 2016 there is 200 4.89 billion. and treasury made 16.28 billion. expires on its own terms if you need

anyway because he was very much the last of the line and a new world was coming into being with andrew jacksonthere are other reasons that had to do with the contested election he want that made him it was- people think illegitimate. a conventional politician like henry clay who was a secretary of state, the lbj at this time, would have found a way of saying, i will not propose this or that because it will never get through, but i'm just going to focus on this and then i will really work it hard to get it repaired adams never did it -- get it through. adams never did it. eventually, people would see i'm right. eventually, abraham lincoln enacted a certain amount. self-defeating brian: behavior for a politician. brian: what was his routine in the morning? once he would wake up at don, he would take himself on a solitary walk. he went out to the white house and would either turn right towards congress or the left towards georgetown. he would walk through the darkness. no one would ever see him. there was nobody there. washington was still a small town. pennsylvania avenue had just been page. pav

andrew jackson vetoed the national bank in 1831. it's this debate or federal bank institution that took us so long to create the fed in 1913. the debate still goes on. all right. so the second part of the fight against contagion were guaranties, in october 2008, fbi used authorities for transaction accounts, key to payment system and increased insurance limits on other accounts from a hundred thousand to 250,000. while dodd-frank increased insurance limits to 250,000, it removed the authority of the fdic to raise limits without joint resolution from congress. in addition, the fdic established so called temporary liquidity guaranty program in october 2008 which gave depository institutions and holding companies authorities to issue new senior unsecuredded debt guarantied by the fdic. the fdic made money on these programs, no taxpayer losses. treasury used authority under the fund to guaranty the must be market funds. this had a mayor impact on stopping the run on the funds. this power was taken away by dodd-frank and not by dodd-fran
