that was andrew jackson. so i'm comparing to him or maybe teddy roosevelt only to the extent he seems to be willing to bust up some of the corporations he feels has an unfair monopoly. >> i was going to say andrew jackson as well. one, the temperament comparison, the anger, on behalf of he didn't use this phrase but he thought there forgot americans then that trump feels are around now. he was representing them and a lot of americans felt that to their core. that they were not being represented. during the campaign one of the reasons he was such a tough guy when he was president was because his wife, rachel, mary and was not divorced from her first husband because he was abusive and did not realize that divorced and not go through. opponents of the campaign made out to be an adulterous. she did not realize it was going on. she kept her protected from this she found out about it and she died before he took office as a nervous breakdown. he blames his adversaries for killing his wife. that's a harsh way to star

stopped, if the supreme court doesn't overturn this, or if trump doesn't just ignore it like andrew jackson did, then we're getting to the point where the president, because of the judiciary will have totally lost constitutional authority to defend the country. because it is little ruling in hawaii, that was made possible by the ninth circuit of appeal. and it's all about this idiotic notion that a presidential candidate on the campaign trail, making statements is the equivalent of an inaugurated president stating policy. but even at that the judge doesn't have the right to do what he did. he doesn't have the congressional right. he doesn't have the statutory right to do what did he. because, basically, this judge shut trump down because in this judge's opinion, trump is a bigot. pete: they can't take him on policy they have got to impugn his intention as a bigot. >> even allen dershowitz. wrong in this case. the president has a constitutional ability to put a stay who is coming into this country. this what this order did is address specifically the concerns of the ninth circuit from the fi

. >> what i compare him to both to is -- andrew jackson because the first six americans episcopalian and here's jackson a presbyterian and all east coast, he was west. all six presidents were part of the political, four of them were secretary of state. two of them came from the same family, john adz dams, john quincy adams favored the bank which andrew jackson said is just making the rich richer and poor poorer and they wanted a second national bank he said absolutely not. he was profane. he had crude. he had bullets in his body from dual trs battles he had fought as a general when he came back and won from the election, they made the white house turned into a wreck with like a drunken party. [laughter] he had to sneak out, go to hotel to spent his first night in the white house. so i compare him and then he took revenge after he won he appointed all of his positions to buddies to businesspeople instead of the political elite who wanted those positions, the spoil system it became known as the spoil system and it became a scandal too eventually but that was andrew jackson so i compare

the fact is that president trump is going to be like andrew jackson, an intensely american president.the represent american values, american interests, to our credit chancellor merkel is very german and she's going to defend german interest and german values. the fact is they probably had a pretty frigid meeting. they might be pleasant personally but she has one set of views and he has a very different set of views, she's going -- been in power a long time and the pictures tell you about reality. they are able to talk to each other. germany does not pay its fair share. this is the biggest economy in europe. they ought to be carrying their fair share in the cost of nato. maria: you're right. and she's letting tall refugees and he was very vocal over the last couple of years in terms of what that did for europe and we will see how some of the races go. obviously the the netherlands didn't go all the way to the right. you know, they had a debate on how to say their language, all of the ministers, they never really have a debate. they agree on one statement and they put it out for the sta

why did lincoln leave andrew jackson? he hated andrew jackson. he's been his whole career opposing andrew jackson. when he went to washington and the mayor of baltimore says we cannot have troops marching through baltimore. you were almost attacked when you came to baltimore. you should have them go a different way. and lincoln says, my soldiers are not moles, they can't dig under the earth. they are not birds, they can fly. they are not fish. they cannot swim. in that?the manhood where is the jackson in that? jackson had usefulness to of strong a wielder executive powers and a person who suspended civil liberties when he was in command in new orleans. he then, carpenter, commences to doing portraits of all of the ministers, and these are really beautifully rendered pictures. he was good, carpenter. i think he worked a little too hard on the final painting, but these are very fresh, raw, and bring out the personalities. these all wound up in the union league club in new york city. carpenter did not have the money to get admitted to this prestigio

i shall keep steadily in in view the limitations of my office said andrew jackson, break the limbs andou break the office. nevertheless, president trump compared his predecessor to nixon and mccarthy, called him sick and bad. to break glass like that, a president must have a good reason, and proof. president trump had no evidence and no higher purpose. tending the presidency is important for a disruptive president like donald trump because it showed people he knows the line between renovating the office and demolishing it. you measure twice and cut once. 0 you don't cut without measuring at all. back in a moment. >> allergies with nasal congestion? find fast relief behind the counter with claritin-d.

tonight i'm obsessed with andrew jackson.'t been the best of times for the seventh president of the united states. the musical alexander became a smash hit and we decided to wipe jackson off the $20 bill. and the fact that jackson kept slaves and in some cases democrats have decided that the jefferson/jackson day dinners might not be a good thing after all. enter president trump who will lay a wreath at jackson's tomb to honor his 250th birthday. trump prefers to remember his glossier side, the first president of the people, the man who stood up to south carolina when the state decided to nullify laws on its own. the real story is that jackson's legacy is switching parties. it's republicans who prefer to remember the man. and democrats who are uncomfortable with jackson's racial history. it's a strange turn of events for the man who has for two centuries been credited with creating the modern democratic bert. we'll be right back. is mom didne to worry about a cracked windshield. so she scheduled at safelite.com and with safel

to donald trump to know and you see similarities #ácustomá the one i compared the most to is andrew jackson the first six american presidents were of his companion and your campaigning against these for president and here's andrew jackson who was like donald trump and they were all six presidents from the east coast, he was left. all six presidents were part of the political aristocracy, former secretary of state, two came from the same family, john quincy adams. they all stayed at the national bank which answer jackson said is making the rich richer and the rich poor and they wanted a second national bank. he said absolutely not. he was profane, he was crude, he had bullets in his body from duels and from battles that he had fought as a general. when he came back after he won the election, they made the white house turned into a wreck, it was like a drunken party. he had to speak out, go to hotels his first night in the white house so i compare him and then he took revenge after he won, he appointed all his positions to his buddies and to businesspeople instead of the political elite who w

trump may have been confused because he also praised andrew jackson's brothers michael, jermaine, randytito.

today i will be visiting the home of andrew jackson on the 250th anniversary o.hey say my election was similar to his. 1828, that was a long time ago. usually they go back to this one or that one, 12 years ago. i mean, 1828, that is a long way, a long time ago. fs, jacksonng tarif said, i look at the tariffs and to revenue and with a view to discharge our national debt. we are $20 trillion, $20 trillion with our policies. america cannot be a wealthy policy if special interests profit from the exodus of our companies and from the exodus of our jobs. we must embrace a new economic model. let's call it the american model. [cheers and applause] pres. trump: under this system we will reduce burdens on our companies and on our businesses. but in exchange, companies must hire and grow in america. they have to thire and grow in our country. that is how we will succeed and grow together. american workers and american industries, side by side. somebody can beat us, folks. nobody can beat us.

>> that was the way it was before andrew jackson. >> ok. and it could be very fair from that scenario to today's scenario. what was lincoln understanding about islam and other religions? ,ason silverman: well, you know the answer to that question is probably very little. people, and all of the corners of the world that lincoln seemed to have the least experience and knowledge about, it would be that areas. lincoln was visited in the white , i believe he was the first naturalized japanese american citizen, a man by the name of joseph teko, and he wrote a two-volume autobiography which is fascinating. o,y bring this up, tek lincoln was like a sponge, asking and asking questions about asia in his conversation because he dido, not know much about it. so i would have to say that as far as i know, there was not an enormous amount of experience or opportunity for lincoln to engage in any kind of thought about that. oh, i'm sorry. oh gosh, i am so sorry. i have always been told i have a big mouth and can be heard everywhere, but apparently not. >>

think about spending $1 trillion on education, total waste of money by reckless politicians since andrew jackson, last time we didn't have a deficit. the problem right now, you have mandatory spending, you take out 100% of discretionary spending other than defense you still have a deficit right now so you are cutting pennies when we need to deal with dollars. the problems we have right now are entitlements, go after discretionary spending may look good but doesn't accomplish much of anything. dagen: why aren't democrats afraid when our defense spending fell to 3% of our economy under president obama from 5% in 2010? that is our national defense and security but this doesn't bother them but cutting public broadcasting does. >> it is more than public broadcasting. we were spending eight times than any country on our defense funding. i am someone from the left side who think there are places we can cut. there is extra fat in every department. donald trump did not put out a budget that touched defense, homeland security, printable issues. i do understand that but that doesn't mean he isn't taking aw

what do you make of the continued association the white house is making with andrew jackson? i guess donald is no jackson to me. he wasn't the greatest thing either. nationalism we see is much closer to the nationalism and the rest of the world. that is not a typical american nationalism. nationalism is the simple folk of the company have wisdom.ty, virtue, and it is very backward looking and historicist. that it is the peasants, being corrupted by outside forces. that's not how americans have defined their nationalism. you have written for years about how you would like to see the politics move toward national greatness and the idea of american greatness, but you are seeing there's a difference between john mccain style, the republican of a few years ago, and what trump is doing? david: the first thing to say is to defend nationalism. it can be used in good ways or bad ways. wewe don't have nationalism, get this disenchanted, amoral style politics. you have to have a unifying national idea.that the american ideal is not based on looking to the past. it was based on a forward

what do you make of the continued association the white house is making with andrew jackson? i guess donald is no jackson to me. jackson wasn't the greatest thing, either. but what trump's nationalism strikes me as is much closer to the nationalism we are seeing in the rest of the world, in the netherlands, austria, the u.k. that is not a typical american nationalism. the trump nationalism is the good simple folk of the company , have the purity, virtue, and wisdom. it is very backward looking and historicist. it existed in the past, it was in the peasants, as they said in russia being corrupted by immigrants,rces -- terrorists, etc.. that's not how americans have defined their nationalism. bob: you have written for years about how you would like to see the politics move toward national greatness and the idea of american greatness, but you are saying there's a difference between john mccain style, the republican of a few years ago, and what trump is doing? david: the first thing to say is i really defend nationalism. a lot of people are against nationalism. but it is like rel

i wouldn't want to say how andrew jackson approached these issues. i think can you say at least in the televised era he's taken a very different approach and i'll point to just a couple specific examples. he argued repeatedly in our interview and he did it on the campaign as well that if he quotes something, he's not saying it. we have just not had a president in recent memory who has not tried to carry with his public statements a gravity of the office. trump approaches this very differently. he can say ted cruz's father consorted with the man who murdered j.f.k., even though there's no evidence because "the national enquirer" quote a story about it. no one has defended it -- >> but he called the newspaper. >> he called the newspaper. he said it was printed, i was just repeating it. back during the campaign, i asked him about a racist meme that he had retweeted that alleged a majority of white murders were committed by black assailants. that was factually incorrect. i asked him don't you feel you should correct it? and he said that's just a tweet th

what do you make of this continued association the white house is making with andrew jackson? >> it is, to me it's a bit of a-- i guess donald trump is no jackson to me and jackson wasn't the greatest thing either but what trump's nationalism strikes me as, much a closer than the nationals we are seeing in holland, in austria or the u.k. or and thases' not a typical american nationalism. the trump nationalism is the good-- the simple folk of this country have the purity and virtue and wisdom. and it's very backyard looking. it's very historisis. it existed in the past. it was in the peasants as they would say in russia. and that it's being corrupted by outside forces. globalists, daf os people, and that is just not the way americans have defined their nationalism. >> you have written for years about how you would like to see the 308 particulars of this country move more forward national greatness and the idea of american greatness but are you saying there is a real difference between kind of john mccain style, republican of a few years ago american greatness and what trumps art
