was it available to buchanan to shortd resolve the issue of what andrew jackson had done when south carolina was threatening secession during his presidency? was there a political path through the briarpatch of the moment? michael: that's the right question to ask. i will be very blunt and say no. there is no solution. who areot top people working on trying to find a solution, and nobody can find anything that is going to satisfy all the relevant parties, particularly the republican party. i think if you go backwards, you could say buchanan could have forestalled the crisis of 1860 and 61 by not mucking it up with dred scott and kansas and his break with stephen douglas. there was no need for him to a broken with stephen douglas. i can see many alternatives to him in terms of some orting him the way he did. -- supporting him the way he did. it was an irrepressible conflict. you ask a great question. we will be sorting this out forever. leavesome contemporaries -- believe that by the use of fourth and south carolina, most historians don't i the idea that andrew jackson could have stopped the

andrew jackson saying i need to send this guy as far away as he can, so he sends him to st. petersburg. but he is successful there. he negotiates an important trade treaty and keeps american-russian relations on good standing. he does that. during the pope presidency -- polk presidency, he becomes secretary of state because he does not get the top prize is shooting for in 1844. i would argue in a way that masochistic polk needed buchanan to be a burr in his butt. --ause he really knock on a he really cannot stand buchanan, but in some way they had a partnership that produced great results. we might question the reality of those results and the efficacy of certain behaviors, but they did add huge swaths of territory. both to the northwest and southwest, as you know. buchanan retires for a couple years, at a time when the great turmoil over the admission of california to the union as a free state comes on. so he avoids that kerfuffle as he would avoid another one when kansas-nebraska is being debated. and he is in england doing good work for his country as our minister to engl

andrew jackson slaughtered him. the mobs came into the white house, and there was a man who the author, william cooper, says should be considered another founding father, our lost founding father. he came back to congress, he led the fight against slavery. they passed the gag rules of the 1830s to try to muffle his voice. they didn't -- they weren't successful. he died on the floor of congress really against the mexican-american war in 1848, and it's the last time that the southern and the northern legislators got together. his funeral's the second largest of the 19th century after lincoln. it will move people to tears like a robert caro. i mean, bill cooper brings this guy to life, but it's so topical. it's like what happens to a fail bed politician in a very -- failed politician in a very troubled, stormy time. >> host: does liveright do only nonfiction books? >> guest: no, liveright does superb fiction. we did, you know, we've had several bestsellers in fiction. we're doing the first three books called -- [inaudi

then he goes down in flames into his reelection campaign, loses to his rival andrew jackson, and that put him in a position of contemplating what was next for him. there was this transition in which he does not immediately become. house of representatives -- doesn't even immediately go into the house of representatives great he is left in this position to wonder, like every other ex-president, what do i do next? he's not young and he still feels a lot of energy, and he wants to contemplate how he will leave his mark. there was not a straightforward process is some of the entries -- as it would show us. >> for adams, this was not just his personal loss, it was also a loss of the national republican coalition, his alliance with the virginia gentleman, and what he thought -- public and statesman. that it was in the family tradition to work with. we often are struck by evans versus jefferson in the election of 1800, and we are struck by their differences. we forget in the 1770's, john adams did not bring the issue of slavery up in the constitutional convention. he did not -- and if his co

and i said, when was andrew jackson, 1828, that's a long time ago. >> i love -- >> had andrew jackson little later, you wouldn't have had the civil war. he was a -- he was a very tough person but he had a big heart and he was -- he was really angry that he saw what was happening with regard to the civil war. he said, there's no reason for this. people don't realize the civil war -- >> yeah. >> -- when you think about it, why. people don't ask that question. why was there the civil war? why could that one not have been worked out? >> today there's an addition, another instance of historical musings. the president's comment that provoked a live footnote from the president of panama. stay tuned in 60 seconds. in, or adempas® for pulmonary hypertension, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. to avoid long-term injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have a sudden decrease or loss of hearing or vision, or an allergic reaction, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. ask your doctor abo

tough minded but fair and try to understand, this is the most i think unusual president since andrew jackson. he's a very disruptive figure which is good, but he's very different because he's not just a businessman, he's an entrepreneur. he gets up in the morning, he wants to do something big. he wants to do something exciting. if you watch him, what they just did at the veterans administration is extraordinary. thing people have been trying tore 15 years couldn't get done. donald trump is getting them done. judge jeanine: if you can help him and you are being criticized for helping him. aside from the book. the media and the press are not going to let up. >> i learned when i was speaker if they couldn't defeat the argument they would try to destroy the debater. so the goal was to destroy me personally because they couldn't bites on the issues. i fully expect trump to triumph, get re-elected and change the country. judge jeanine: thanks so much for joining us. trees "justice" from shakespeare judge jeanine: high drama on the shakespeare in the park stage. a woman stored the stage and started

david: we never had a president, i don't think, maybe andrew jackson, who fights back the way donaldck. the tweets are one of his means of fighting back. he has been criticized, and sometimes rightly so for his tone. but they don't get away easily from him. >> it's a new era. and because of social media, i think reagan would have loved to hit back. by had to stay calm and keep smiling. he had to act like he believed in their impartiality even though he knew better because there was no chance to fight back. what we are seeing with donald trump's counter punches is a new era where he can go direct to the american people over the heads of these media folks and it's driving them crazy. david: it's have much in real-time. my question is what's going to happen with the history books. when they are finally written, are they going to stack up inside on the side of trump's accomplishments? it's early days, i know, we only had 6 months. which side do you think they will add up on, trump having had more accomplishments or because so far all of the charges or most of them have turned out to fall

you may have heard about him annoying andrew jackson in the election of 1854. saying yes to send this guy as far away as he sending him to st. petersburg. he negotiates an important trade treaty and keeps american-russian relations on good standing. he does that. becausecretary of state he does not get the top prize is shooting for in 1844. i would argue in a way that masochistic polk needed buchanan to be a burr. in some way they had a partnership that produced great results. we might question the reality of those results and the efficacy of some of them, but they did swaths of territory. great turmoil the over the admission of california to the union as a free state, he avoids that kerfuffle as he would avoid another one when kansas-nebraska is being debated. he is our minister to england during the franklin pierce presidency. he is a guy who knows how the clock ticks, what is underneath it, and is presumably the right leave the right time to the country when it is -- to lead the country when it is quite stressed. of course, he is wrong. one more thing. durin

tough minded but fair and try to understand, this is the most i think unusual president since andrew jacksonich is good, but he's very different because he's not just a businessman, he's an entrepreneur. he gets up in the morning, he wants to do something big. he wants to do something exciting. if you watch him, what they just did at the veterans administration is extraordinary. thing people have been trying tore 15 years couldn't get done. donald trump is getting them done. judge jeanine: if you can help him and you are being criticized for helping him. aside from the book. the media and the press are not going to let up. >> i learned when i was speaker if they couldn't defeat the argument they would try to destroy the debater. so the goal was to destroy me personally because they couldn't bites on the issues. i fully expect trump to triumph, get re-elected and change the country. judge jeanine: thanks so much for joining us. trees "justice" from shakespeaee in the park next. that when it comes to hospital romances,nows the more complicated, the better. i love you. but i love him. i love hi

there, we now have somebody who doesn't really know that frederick douglass is not alive, thinks andrew jacksonround for the war. >> tucker: if only she had a different message but isn't the message the same as the campaign? the entire campaign is built around a message, your conceded she had a wrong message, that's like saying the car has no engine. >> the fact that the message was great until the comey letter. she was up six-points. it was more than obama was up-- >> tucker: i can't remember what was the message before the comey letter. >> saying to the middle class,'r with help you're going toca get whether it's through education, research development or job training, child care. all the things frankly we've seen congress say no to. >> tucker: i want to be clear, what did she do wrong?g? she said she had this great message that t you couldn't explain -- >> it was working until the comey letter.ou >> tucker: she should have changed her message. >> i'm saying the comey letter was so serious. 50 fold more searches for clinton fbi after the comey letter. there was a big distraction. the message

that we have all a birth right and inheritance and reminds us for many years presidents like andrew jacksond even the writer of the star-spangled banner, francis scott key, felt black people should go back to africa. that is the only way they were valuable; from far away. but baldwin says nope, this is home. this is our home. we are here. even donald trump said that -- yes, donald trump, i have to mention him said that colin kaepernick should just go back to africa and he should leave. this is not his home. but baldwin rewrites that narrative. could you both kind of speak about baldwin insistence that we should reframe how we think of quote the american and the space as home for all. >> the reason we get so mad when trump says things like this is because he is an immigrant. people who don't realize they are immigrants are the most frustrating americans. that is always the case. even though this ancestors were not brought there as immigrants. they were brought there against their will nevertheless america becomes a place where someone fought a war to help try to fix that injustice. so, ameri

the relationship between politics and celebrity goes back a long time, at least as far back as andrew jackson, who was known and celebrated as the great general of the battle of new orleans. modern-day call celebrity politics really begins in the 1920's with warren harding's front porch presidential campaign. the way they did presidential campaigns for harding is they kept harding at home. everybody would come and visit a day ofwhich created newspaper reporting as he stayed home and would be focusing there and ohio. the singer councils and -- the came to thelsen home in ohio, where they paraded down main street and started singing songs in a harding's praise. i think of that as the first time of what we have celebrity politics in the modern age where celebrities are interested in promoting a candidate. it is interesting in the 1950's that celebrity politics becomes a national kind of episode. eisenhower was such an interesting case because eisenhower was somebody who was not interested in politics, and really wasn't interested in celebrity. he had been a military man his entire life. in fact,

bill bennett commented on the low bar for vulgarity set by president naming lyndon johnson and andrew jacksonof the worst, he said. here's a quote on the subject in a piece that was put together by "rolling stone" magazine. people said my language was bad, recalled nixon, but jesus, you should've heard lbj. johnson famously consulted with cabinet members while he sat on the "blinker" with the door open. he said i do know the difference between chicken blank and chicken salad, he once had. there's a better perspective for you on things this week. have a great fourth of july with their families, everybody. great to have you on "the story" tonight. tucker carlson is coming up nex next. >> tucker: welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." an illegal alien from el salvador getting a six-figure payout from taxpayers current c of the city of san francisco. like many places in california, san francisco is a sanctuary city who privileges to turn illegal immigrants over to the feds for deportation. pedro figaro is an illegal alien from el salvador saying police reported him when he visited a police station

we saw strive during andrew jackson's presidency when many of his opponents feared he was going to be america's napoleon and we survived those times. but let's not forget the bitter acura moany when we saw physical assaults on the floor of congress. that debate was solved after 600,000 americansside died in the civil war. let us debate the issues. i've already held five town halls myself to engage in the essential debates to improve our country and will hold more. but when it comes to the vitriol and verbal assaults, let us all take a knee and reflect. are we taking our nation to a potential precipice of a disaster if we keep turning up the volume of this partisanship? earlier this year, the congressional freshman class signed a civility pledge. i pledge civility but i implore our nation to reflect on the tone and ugliness that we are seeing. let us rein in the anger and disrespect. i implore our president, our senate, all of us in the people's house, all of us citizens, let us raise the barf our debate and treat each other with respect. let's not cross the line between criticizing th

and there have been a number of presidents in american history, andrew jackson, martin van buren, franklinroosevelt, john adams and his son, john quincy, who used family members in exactly the way or varying ways that jfk used bobby kennedy and that donald trump is using jared kushner. >> no modern u.s. president has used a direct family member to receive top-level secret intelligence and then to go into a foreign embassy, and according to the reports, request to use the secret channels within that foreign embassy to communicate, outside of all normal other channels, before they'd even been set up. there's no comparison for that going back to john adams. >> so you're saying to me that when jfk used his brother to deal with what's his name, georgie bollchikov with the russians, there was something wrong with that? >> it was certainly not a normal manner of proceedings, but that was building on communications that was going on to establish two different channels. in this case, you're using apples and oranges. >> bob he kept the state depart out of the loop, quite deliberately. barack obama u

he died a citizen of the republic during the presidency of the first important populist, andrew jackson's only populist complaint about big government is that they are not growing its weight around on their behalf. in his message explaining his veto of the reauthorization of the bank of the united states, he wrote "if government would confine itself to equal protection, and as heaven does rains, it would be in unqualified blessing. thes to be regretted that rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their selfish purposes, just so." today's populist's need to realize that big government, meaning the administrative state that micromanage his american life, is inherently regressive. it inevitably and constantly redistributes wealth upward. , the the wealthy confident, the articulate, and who can the lawyered understand the administrative processes and can work its .any gears as they pursue there is a reason why five america's 10 richest counties surround washington like piglets surrounding a lactating cell -- sow. sentimentalists say that it's -- it is more often the case

but that leads me to second question as historian, what specific steps could andrew jackson have takeno prevent the civil war?

he died of citizen of the republic during the presidency of the first important populist andrew jackson. his only complaint against big government is that it is not throwing his weight around on their behalf should heed the words of jackson as he wrote in his greatest paper. in his message explaining the veto of the reauthorization of the bank of the united states he wrote, if government would confine itself to equal protection and as heaven does the rains shower its favors alike on the high and the low, the rich and the poor, it would be an unqualified blessing, but it is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their selfish purposes. just so, today's populace need to have a jacksonian epiphanny. they need to realize that big government, meaning the administrative state that permeates and micro manages american life, is inherently regressive. that is, it inevitably and constantly redistributes wealth upward. it is the wealthy, after all, the wealthy, the confident, the articulate, and the well can understand the administrative states and can

he died a citizen of the republic during the presidency of the first important populace andrew jackson. today's populist, who is only complained against big government is that it's not throwing its considerable weight around on their behalf should heed the words of jackson as he wrote in his greatest date pape paper. in his message explaining his veto of the reauthorization of the bank of the united states, he wrote, if government would confine itself to equal protection and, as heaven does the rain, shower it's favors alike on the high and the low, the rich and the poor, it would be an unqualified blessing. but, it is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often been the acts of government to their selfish purposes. just so, today's populist needs a jacksonian epiphany. they need to realize big government that micromanage his american life is inherently regressive. that is, it inevitably and constantly redistribute wealth upward. it is the wealthy, the confident, the articulate and the well lawyered who can understand the administration states open a can arcane processes and c

one of his fireside chats, one of my favorite, we get a lens into his views when he said "when andrew jackson, old ickory dark, someone ask him a will he go to heaven? he will if he wants to. if i will ask the american people will pull themselves out of this depression, i answer, they will if they want to. i have no sympathy with the professional economists who insist that things must run their course and that human agency can have no influence on economic ills." will he go to heaven? and thus the new deal was born and a real of american government and a new partnership and social contract between the government and society. he constantly communicated with the public hrough the press, educated ewspaper writers, public members of the government, and guided the nation through the complex measures he was advocating. he constantly members of the government, and promoted his ambitious legislative program, and though not the first chief executive to a doctor parole role of legislator, chief legislator, he developed a that function to an unprecedented extent, changing the possibilities and expectati

. >> we were thinking andrew jackson but okay. >> but johnson said that the presidency makes a man however small bigger and a man however big is never big enough to meet the demands of the office. and on those two counts, on the first count, i don't think johnson quite anticipated trump. he's a small man who has not been made larger by the office and we need someone who is economies rat wi commensurate with the job. >> i'm not tacking about people who voted for him, i'm talking about republicans in washington who would have said enough is enough, i can't stand by this president. did you feel any change yesterday? we heard the sound bites and we we heard them before and it's been back to business a few days later. but we're in the middle of health care but will it impact that? >> i just want to go back to the white house's explanation is that he is punching back ten times harder. well, so does my 6-year-old. that doesn't mean it's presidential or good for the country. joe and mika have been very critical of him and harsh on him sometimes in this show, but there are many presidents who have
