and i -- andrew jackson will find himself there as well. the book is filled with great stories about great folks and a great history. i want to read the dedication to him is of the front because i think it says a lot. he says his focus to the unsung men and women whose stable military service has kept the spring and made general jackson famous. names and faces may not be known by the world but you will never be forgotten by me. ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, brian kilmeade. [applause] >> thank you very much. genevieve, thank you very much. a true professional. we had a chance already last week i thought the heritage would be tired of me by now but thankfully you are not. you are allowing me to be here the first week that the book comes out and i'm an audiovisual presentation for no extra money. you definitely will get your money's worth today. we will give a summary of what the book is about because fundamentally, i also want to give you an idea of what you will see and hopefully come to light. that is why we have a format summary be

close to the abraham lincoln had to refer to one president during his time and he looked back at andrew jackson is and how did he handle that and he used force and when donald trump said with a into jackson was president would not have one and that is a great case for that. to say he would not but a thing that would break up the union. because of his background. and if they go to the hermitage. and to say come see the inside he said i have to walk a few wanted to feel that to understand where he channeled the leadership. it to have a figurine as a captive in the overall for one everyone thought he was not worthy and finally in modern times in front of the statue a very respected historian with a great personality with the reason but on the bushes he said we're sitting here because we're reagan demanded to have this overdone in front of the jackson statue. you may not like him but some pretty great men thought he was the exact prototype to build off of the that is what he ended up on the 20 and a was thrilled to talk about a battle that nobody thought we could win. and the lead we have to fight

but major andrew jackson and his country losing this war badly. america needed a leader. without a standing army, for president madison america's future hung in the balance. >> he found his leader in jackson took his greatest challenge, stopping the british forces from taking new orleans. >> he lost new orleans and if the british controlled the great city, you lose the entire mississippi river angeles all of our western frontier that we acquired it to the purchase. so we would not have been able to do western expansion. >> the plan, build a wall, dick a canal, it with water and wait for a british charge. this protection was built in a matter of weeks. milestone to protect and to jackson and the american troops. over there were thousands of british troops. what they wanted, that was new orleans. what's at stake? the future of the country. >> these truths it come in, they are not going to go out and engage the british. jackson knows that would be suicidal. >> in expert will tell you his ragtag army would need a miracle to stop the british. jackson knew just where to go to as

>> certainly about the optics of andrew jackson being in the background. the president also couldn't resist making an insult. the whole thing reads like another chapter in a weird excerpt from a chris buckley political satire. >> andrew jackson is either insensitivity, lack of history of historical touch or they just missed it. they forgot where they were holding it and how it would be projected. that's fine. that's a very different thing than the pocahontas jab. it's not oblivious because the president doesn't care about the people who are sensitive to this. he literally turned to the navajo hero and said i like you, though, because you're special. listen, this is who he is. i don't understand why people have to keep explaining the reality of who the man is. he will go at you any way he thinks he can that will hurt you. and warren gave him a little bit of room when she couldn't prove her cherokee roots to the satisfaction of those who were asking. once he had that little bit of space, that's his dog whistle. she's a liar. the democrats are liars. they're

the idea that the photograph is code talkers standing in front of president andrew jackson? would you prefer not to have and you jackson presiding over this ceremony? >> well, andrew jackson was a part of the policy to terminate native americans. that was one of those things way back that philosophy. so that was the philosophy back then. and since they couldn't really exterminate us from the planet, they started to remove us. and to control us. and later of course that became the relocation program and then in recent time thankfully that we are now at a point of saying sovereignty recognizing as sovereign nation. but back then the trail of tears happened because of the philosophy and the policy that was in place by the u.s. government. and we survived it. and we will survive any kind of bad policies that the government may hurl at us, the u.s. government. and our nation -- our indian nations will be here. long before even if u.s. ever ceases to exist. and we will continue to defend. this is our country. this is our land. we will sacrifice, continue to do that. and so this is

he looked at andrew jackson and then how handle it any use for us. donald trump said defender jackson is president or the civil war we wouldn't have had one. he told me the same thing is told me the same thing instead brinkley of the blessed w. is not going to put up the union. a lot to do with what i just told you about his background. another leader with teddy roosevelt. he wrote a book about it in the distance. fdr said listed power they come up and see the inside. see where he channeled the leadership from and he wasn't kidding. when he takes over here the figurine objection on his desk very similar to the same people and truman was the captain of world war i and he came from nowhere to everywhere in body was the degree president. i wanted to be one of my standups in front of the white house. a very respected presidential historian with great personality and is that a recent book and he said you know where we're standing here? i thought would be a good whack job. this is were he debated this photo died. for harpers or "time" magazine. so you may n

>> andrew jackson did not just happen to be in the background. this was a staged event prior to the code talkers appearing there and talking to him. >> sorry, didn't mean to interrupt. go ahead. >> maythose people were serving this country before made citizens in 1924, and we had our people in the indian wars, world war i and world war ii as the code talkers, and we defended this country at one time, and it's pretty ironic, that the languages we used inward w worl ii, we were prohibited for using those languages, and here world war ii, it comes to play that they defended the united states of america. >> and they were heroes. one of the things sarah sanders did say is the statements in the past by elizabeth warren are offensive, and she claimed cherokee heritage, and there's no rock solid documentation to back that up. is the white house correct in drawing a focus to this? is there anything wrong with what elizabeth warren has said? >> i think at least one-third of the american population self identifies with having a connection to a native person

and so to diminish andrew jackson. and then to have bankruptcy's. that is like giving as $10 and then we become billionaires'. but then those controversial things. and there is a plainly confident they are doing the right thing. i stopped at the battle of coming back as the great leader as one of the most lauded in the country so abraham lincoln said how did he handle it with south carolina? he used force. donald trump said that he was president during the civil war rekindle that. and then said he will not put up with anyone breaking up the union. number three another leader was teddy roosevelt did in world war ii was about to start fdr went to a the hermitage and said comeuppance see the outside he said i have to walk it he wanted to feel the founder of the democratic party to understand each channel that leadership absolutely true. when ronald reagan in treatment takes over he had a figure read on his desk as a captain of world war i and then he ended at being a great president but then with modern times to do is stand up in front of the statue as

act, thanks to andrew jackson, people who were settled in land that they owned frankly and people in this country stole from them, were moved out of the southeast. that is inflammatory, that is insulting, that i would argue is even more egregious than him calling elizabeth warren pocahontas who had nothing to do with yesterday's ceremony. we need to begin to acknowledge this is not about name calling, not about name calling in politics, it's about a big goth who sits in 1600 pennsylvania. >> angela, matt and carrie, thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> we are watching developments on capitol hill. a senate majority leader set to speak in minutes. and two weeks until alabama voters hit the polls. and roy moore coming out swinging. more people shop online for the holidays than ever before. and the united states postal service delivers more of those purchases to homes than anyone else in the country. because we know, even the smallest things are sometimes the biggest. even the smallest things [he has a new business teaching lessons. rodney wanted to know how his business was do

. >>> the president honors native americans in front of a portrait of andrew jackson, the president who forced thousands of native americans from their homes. when you have a cold,

if andrew jackson of a completely successful in his the code talkers who assisted in world war i andorld war ii would not have been able to do that. so i think it is ironic that he was standing front of a portrait of a man who tried to wipe out tribal nations and tribal languages and failed. , his mary kathryn nagle introduction of pocahontas into this ceremony and this continued repeated attempt, from his point elizabethmear senator warren by calling her pocahontas -- who was pocahontas, for those folks who see her only as a disney character? atand i think most americans this point understand her as a disney character. her real true story has been commodified and retold in a false narrative that celebrates her union with her abuser. she was a survivor. a survivor of colonial violence at a time when native women were primary targets because the colonial powers who came over passedom 1492 and even 1776 new that a primary way of destroying a tribal nation and indigenous nation is to attack the women. as data women, we give birth to the next generation of our travel citizens. if you era

think that was deliberately done by the white house to -- other presidents have had portraits of andrew jackson inside the oval office. the democratic party has a jefferson-jackson day dinner, two slave holders, to 2 frankly antiindian figures, if they want to get rid of those that's fine but that's up to them. i think you ought to be careful historically. now in terms about your point about the appropriations process. the way bills pass originally tends to be out of the house. it's a majority institute. when they get to the senate, because of the 60 rule requirement they tend to become bipartisan and then you have a negotiated process. you're right. we pass something, they pass something, then we go to conference and negotiate it out. it's got to come back and pass each body. it's got to be signed by the president of the united states. in the end, the appropriation process will be bipartisan or nothing will get done. it's just that simple. so this is the opening part of the process. obviously you're going to write bills the way you think they ought to be written. when the point comes when you

these are the things that mattered most to andrew jackson. >> this is the front parlor of the mansiont president jackson or former president jackson, you would have been invited to come in here and wait for him. he would've let you wait long enough to look at the things he has in this room that would tell you he is important man. >> brian: see the candle on the table? that candle was led by george washington after the battle of yorktown. he sat down with his officers and set hold a candle. i'm going to light it for you. we made history. jackson looked up to washington, and when one of the officers there had to go give that candle to andrew jackson himself, and that very candle was held by george washington, handed to andrew jackson and sat out on a table. >> dana: did you get to touch it? >> brian: yes. >> jesse: does this have something to do with your book? >> brian: miracle of new orleans. it's going to be on december 10. >> jesse: get the camera back on you. you've only been on tv three hours today. >> dana: "special report" is up next. bret. like calgon, take it away. >> bret: th

how would a director feel about putting the president beneath a portrait of andrew jackson as he talkshe mistake they made was what, location of the event. the oval office, they put the jackson photo in there, why? h because that man of the people, pore sewn inersona appe new brand of populism of the president. who thought of having this event there? >> should be a good show. >> see you soon. >>> it is official. as chris said, cyber monday is the largest on line sale day in history. how much did we spend? fill you in next. remember how the economic crash was supposed to be a wake up call for our government? people all across the country lost their savings, their pensions and their jobs. i'm tom steyer and it turned out that the system that had benefited people like me who are well off, was, in fact, stacked against everyone else. it's why i left my investment firm and resolved to use my savings for the public good. but here we are nine years later and this president and the republican congress are making a bad situation even worse. they won't tell you that their so called "tax reform"

the "washington post" said andrew jackson was called indian killer. >> he is a racist.end like he is not. yesterday he was honoring native americans in front of andrew jackson who killed tons of indians. it was not just a slurred. >> the constant defenses, that's not what he means. the jackson thing he in no idea about it. >> then he should not be president. >> laura: joining us now is presidential historrion and elizabeth warren's conservative challengers and a self-described real indian. craig, andrew jackson, one of the paintings up in the oval office. it's a beautiful paintball. set the record straight. >> reagan also hung him in the oval office. every president of the 19th century prosecuted the war against the american indians. lincoln is an example for trump. also prosecuted the massacres in mint and colorado. -- minnesota and colorado. abraham lincoln also. in the 20th century, shirrid an the general of the army said the only good indian is a good indian. teddy roosevelt agreed with that statement. >> laura: your point is? this is a white washing. >> this is kno

a portrait of andrew jackson was installed in the oval office. i learned later from steve bannon that was because steve bannon, having read from providence, saw that jacksonian descriptor as a one for the president and the president's foreign-policy. he persuaded the president to put it there. that is what mr. bannon is saying. we are now seeing, in the disarray of american foreign-policy and the immense gap between what people around us in the washington policy community and many of our colleagues in other countries see as the right kind or the effective kind of foreign-policy. in the instincts and approaches of president trump add the people who supported the president and got him elected. that gap, that tension is obvious now as the big issue for american foreign-policy. here is the thing. this is not new. this is a problem that presidents have repeatedly faced. jacksonian america is not new. it's attitudes and preferences are not new. the gap between jacksonian instincts and wilsonian and hamiltonian visions is not new. many presidents have f

and other presidents have had portraits of andrew jackson inside the oval office. the democratic party has a jefferson/jackson day dinner, two slave holders and pretty famous anti-indian figures, if they want to get rid of those, that's fine. but that's up to them. i think you ought to be careful historically. now in terms of your point about the appropriations process, you are actually broadly right. the way bills pass originally tends to be out of the house. it's majority institution. tend to be bipartisan. when they get to the senate 60 rule requirement, they tend to become bipartisan. then you have negotiated process. again you are right, we pass something, they pass something, then we go to conference and negotiate it out. it's got to come back and pass each body. it has to be signed by the president of the united states. in the end the appropriations process will be bipartisan or nothing will get done. it's just that simple. so, again, this is the opening part of the process. obviously you are going to write bills the way you think they ought to be written. bu

trump's comment was made underneath a portrait of andrew jackson. the president who signed into law the indian removal act. roxana saberi, cbs news. >> just 13 navajo code talkers are still alive. those at the ceremony asked for a museum to be built in honor -- in order to help remember their heroism. president trump agreed to help telling them quote -- you deserve it. many of you have had plenty to say about the president's comments on our wusa9 facebook page. here's some of them. dear president trump, you think the only people who are people are the people who look and think like you. but if you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you'll learn things you never knew you never knew. og tweets oh by the way, president, honoring the code talkers under a portrait of andrew jackson, dude, have you ever read a history book? and finally, c will, tweets as a one eighth ti warring lying about her heritage than trump's pocahontas comment. was the president's comment racist or just people too sensitive? log on to any of our wusa9 social media pages and join the

andrew jackson is not the right image. these guys are heroes. john mccain saying the nation owes a debt of gratitude. part of it is just that room. that spot in that room. then there is the slap at elizabeth warren. >> the viewers not steeped in works. whenever there is an announcement, there is a team of people who figures out what room to do it in and the angle and the picture in the background and should there are a teleprompter. the positioning would be well thought out by staff in advance. if something like that were an accident and were not the message that was trying to be sent for an administration that doesn't apologize, there would be a backgrounding on it by now. somebody would have come out and told a handful of reporters on ia background that's not what they were trying to do. we regret the error. the fact that none of that happened only validates what seems like is the case. the camera shot and the position that was chosen. >> we sometimes get caught up in the blur of donald trump's presidency. think about what you said. if it was

andrew jackson himself was a rich man, self made, but wealthy. theodore roosevelt, very wealthy. for that matter, abraham lincoln had become a very affluent and successful corporate lawyer who did a lot of railroad cases. so we're not saying that jacksonians only go for sort of tribunes of the people, the great unwashed, but repeatedly in american history people who come from economic success and even inherited wealth can reach out and build this relationship with jacksonian america based on understanding their economic needs, their cultural and political preferences. but having established a foundation of trust, as roosevelt looked at the darkening international scene, he recognized his limits. that is jacksonian america was not ready to face hitler in 1938. we might have all wished he was. jacksonian america was profoundly anti-immigrant. by the way, in 1924 we reduced immigration by about 90%. that was the last time levels of immigration in the u.s. had reached the level that they are now in terms of percentage of the population. the result was a 90% cut in the effective immig

they put andrew jackson in the oval office why? native americans he invokes an ugly image of the trail of tears. did they think it through? obviously not. otherwise they wouldn't have -- >> you think this one is o oblivi ous but the other is deliberate? >> if my intention is to celebrate the navajo americans who helped you wouldn't intentionally disrespect them while celebrating them. >> but he intentionally used the slur. >> but his intention wasn't to celebrate warren. if he were there to celebrate warren he wouldn't build in an insult. >> let's be charitable and say chris is right, the intention was to be respectful and honor the code talkers and the intention was not to distract from that. this is an administration that really has to worry about dog whistles. this is the thing. they've been caught on this front many different occasions where racial tones are in play. if they didn't want to make these mistakes, they have to think about what may be perceived as a mistake. it's not the first time we've seen this administration sor

pretend like he's not -- yesterday he was honoring native americans in front of a portrait of andrew jackson, who was called a sharp knife. he can't pretend. it was not just a slur. it was that he did it in front of somebody that murdered the -- it was based on the guy hanging in the portrait behind him. >> the andrew jackson thing, he had no idea. >> if he has no idea of history, he doesn't need to be president. more than anything else, donald trump -- listen, we have had more presidents who were racist than weren't. president trump is not new, he is retro. we can go back and forth but ultimately a large percentage of americans, 80% of republicans support him, and a large percentage of evangelicals support him, and if the large -- >> you make this point all lot. you don't want to spend too much time attacking what is obvious about the president. you say people need to look at themselves about why they support it. >> he decries what colin ckaepe but you want to keep the sta statues. i can't decide why he does these things. he has had a problem with people of color for long time so this is ju

wolf, all of this was happening under the watchful eye of andrew jackson. of course he was a president who presided over so many deaths of native americans years ago. that caused silence to fall over the room. i was in the oval office and i can tell you veterans were stunned there as the president called senator warren pocahontas. president trump is dusting off his salesman hat tonight, trying to salvage the republican tax plan facing a vote in the senate. it's a critical week for the trump presidency. with his only major legislative victory hanging in the balance. >> how is the tax bill going, sir? >> i think the tax bill is going very well. we had a meeting on it today. it's going to be a tremendous tax cut. >> reporter: and a critical month ahead for republicans. with a year-end spending bill looming to keep the government open. >> i think the tax bill is doing very well and i think the republicans are going to be very proud of it. >> reporter: but the white house and republican leaders are still scrambling to make changes to the $1.5 trillion tax packag

he had them in the white house and behind the backdrop was andrew jackson who was andrew jackson to nativericans? that's history, the truth in history is there, you know, yes, he forced the removal of native americans in this nation. history is history, you cannot change it, some people don't understand history, and, therefore, they may take what he says. when you're a student of history, and you've watched what's going on over and over for decades, you know what's going on in that white house and what's true and what's not. >> thank you all. >>> roy moore speaking in bama now, and trump coming out and talking about whether he will campaign with the accused child molester. and signs trump's fired national security adviser could be cutting a deal as the russia investigation intensifies. >>good to know. we got your back kate. help from real traders. only with td ameritrade. casual fridays at buckingham palace? alright, off you go. surprising. what's not surprising? how much money nathan saved by switching to geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. i'm ryan awith chanti

a painting, where the history of what andrew jackson did to the native americans in this country isious and the trail of tears and everything that happened during that. perhaps someone should have thought about that before they staged it in that room! i mean, that was offensive in and of itself. i feel more than even the pocahontas comment, for goodness sakes. but it's just the unmitigate ed gall of the president of the united states and other people that don't have native american culture that politicize that and then have the nerve to say, well, it's not offensive. i just think it's tasteless! it's tasteless! how is this conservative? how does this advance republicanism? how is this appropriate for the president of the united states in that situation? it just doesn't! >> what i don't understand, what does the president get out of saying something like this? i know, obviously, you think it's funny or, you know, kind of light like his jabbing spirit -- >> it's classless. but you know, again, is this really the ceremony to be doing that in? >> well, anderson, you know, many people th

the andrew jackson portrait was mentioned. this was glaring.u understand the importance of messaging in the white house. you lived it. mike defer was ron reagan's image maker. he understood creating the elegance of the presidency, the dignity of the presidency. he was the architect behind reagan's pan thieu hoc moment. andrew jackson is who native americans consider one of the worst presidents of the united states because of the pain and the theiror and the murder he committed against native americans. it is hard to overlook what he's doing. when thinks that's cute, playing to a base or whether he truly harbors these racist tend sees is something every american has to make a judgment on in their own heart today. >> native americans -- very few americans vet any of them. populationwise they are a very small part of the country. but do an analogy. if donald trump was giving an award yesterday to some historic african-american veterans and he had refer to cory booker as sambo or as kuhn at that kin ta, or as uncle tom, there would be -- there woul

perhaps even worse it played out in front of a portrait of andrew jackson. >>> senator warren blastedhe president last night on cnn. >> i really couldn't believe it. president trump couldn't even make it through a ceremony to honor these men without throwing in a racial slur. you know, he thinks that somehow he's going shut me up with that. and it's just not going to happen. it didn't work in the past, it's not going to work in the future. >>> white house press secretary says the use of pocahontas was not a racial clur slur. >>> "the washington post" says it was the target of a sting operation apparently run by the conservative activist group project veritas. post reports that a woman approached it weeks ago falsely claims roy moore im pregnant natted her in 1992 when she was just 15 years old. >> in a series of interviews the post says she repeatedly pressed reporters that revealing her alleged experience would moore would end his campaign. post reporters confronted the woman with inconsistencies of her story and a printout of an on-line fund-raising campaign that seemed to tie her t

at an event meant to honor war heroes of world wars i and ii, especially with the back drop of andrew jackson, whose legacy includes one of the most brutal crusades of native americans in this country, if the president doesn't understand how offensive that is, then he should. there are very few things that -- i'm pretty unflappable, there are very few things i take personally in covering washington as a reporter, but today it really stung. i mean, as a person of color who has been on the receiving end of racial slurs, to see the president go to that length and to not draw a line between using that in a partisan attack really was bad, not just optically, it was bad for america. it's a sad day today. >> robert, i heard people talking about this president's inability to simply preside over, take part in an elegant event and leave it at that. this president who has to have enemies and more than that has to have nicknames for those enemies, a kind of a special subset in his mind. >> it was a moving event to watch. and you look at those gentlemens' caps, survivor of iwo jima, men who joined the mar

at waterville, butler earned a reputation for being a hotter democrat than andrew jackson. in fact, his politics was really is only inheritance from his father. that politics was a true liblt on a campus that boasted an antislavery society and teemed with outspoken whigs. he refused to truckle to prevailing sentiments. and he decried abolitionists for threatening pass and harmony. they have been repeatedly urged to stop sending papers and insend area publications to south. but he persisted. in new england he learned how to announce unpopular opinions and to thrive amidst great opposition. after graduation, butler returned home to lowell and directed his attention to the law. he apprenticed with a lawyer. by then, lowell the seat of textile production in america, a maze of canal and cobblestones with its collections of more than 30 cotton mills, dye houses, representing an astounding $11.6 million in capital, the so-called lowell experiment had exceeded beyond even the most sanguine expectations of its contemporaries. the city produced almost 2,000 miles of cloth every day,

trump used that slur, that particular insult to native americans, this portrait of president andrew jackson added to the oval office by president trump who is such a fan of his predecessor, he laid a wreath on jackson's tomb earlier this year. andrew jackson famously signed the indian removal act, which allowed white settlers to drive native americans off their land by force, if necessary. to start a brutal migration known as the trail of tears. maybe you want to argue president trump is just tone deaf or ignorant of that part of the record of president jackson. maybe you think we should give him the benefit of the doubt, all the times this president has launched attacks of people against color, against mexicans? >> they're bringing drugs. they're bringing crime. they're rapists. and some, i assume are good people. >> against african-americans. >> look at my african-american over here. look at him. are you the greatest? >> against a judge with mexican ancestry. >> this judge is giving us unfair -- now i say why, well, i want to -- i'm building a wall, okay? and it's a wall between mexico --

story line, it comes on the same week that the president really did stand before a portrait of andrew jackson in the oval office, the author of the indian removal act, the architect of the trail of tears, standing in front of that portrait of andrew jackson, he tells a group of world war ii native americans that he likes to call pocahontas as an insult. even for the president, it has been an intense few days of delusion and racial provocation and insults. leading into today from hiss twitter account, where this string of incidents from the president now includes the president retweeting three videos from a far-right anti-muslim group in britain that is called britain first. britain first is not well-known in the u.s. if they're not at all, it's in conjunction with the murder of a british parliament member stabbed in the streets by a neo nazi as he screamed britain first and killed her in cold blood and her constituency because he said she was too pro-immigrant. that happened a week before the brexit vote last year in britain. the only thing that britain first is known for in his country is ha

i think you would know more than anyone how andrew jackson treated the indians. my point was on your talking of the 12 bills that you passed thosent on to the senate, bills were passed because of about 20 people in the republican party that you had to make sure they would go along with the boat, but when the bill was sent to the senate, all of that will be compromise and sent back to you guys, and you will lose almost 20 votes. you will have to get smaller votes from the democrats. if i can response to your first questions, i do know a lot about andrew jackson. my great, great grandfather had to walk 800 miles. i am chickasaw. we were one of the five tribes removed from the southeast united states, historically, northern mississippi and tennessee were our home areas, and taken to whichas indian territory, is oklahoma today. i understand that very much, and my own grandmother would not carry a $20 bill her entire life. but you also have abraham lincoln and george washington washington of the -- had slaves, they were both very famous indian fighters. i said look, y

the portrait of andrew jackson whose forcible removal of indians from their land became a death march for thousands known infamously as the trail of tears. and then our current president opened his mouth. >> i just want to thank you. because you are very, very special people. you were here long before any of us were here. although we have a representative in congress who they say was here a long time ago. they call her pocahantas. but you know what? i like you. >> the president was once again derisively referring to senator elizabeth warren who has cited her oklahoma family lore to claim partial native american ancestry, even though investigations have never turned up definitive proof one way or the other on the matter. nor has it ever been proven she gained anything professionally from those ancestral claims. but that has not stopped the president from obsessively attacking her. senator warren responded earlier on msnbc. >> it is deeply unfortunate that the president of the united states cannot even make it through a ceremony honoring these heroes without having to throw out a racial

trump's comment was made under a portrait of andrew jackson, the president who signed into law the indian removal act. >> that act paved the way for a series of forced removals of native americans in the 1800s. the difficult and often deadly journey became known as the trail of tears. >> thank you so much, roxanna. >>> no one was injured when two airliners touched wings. one was moving on a taxiway when it clipped the wings of a virgin atlantic airbus. the planes were departing. one returned to the terminal on its own. the virgin air jet had to be towed. the faa is investigating. >>> in myanmar the pope meets with a nobel laureate. he has met with the military leaders who ordered the crack down on the country's muslim rohingya minority. the u.s. and the u.n. describe the action as ethnic cleansing. more than 620,000 rohingya have fled the country. >>> and we now know that the latest royal romance in britain started on a blind date that quickly blossomed into a full on love story. prince harry proposed over a roast chicken dinner 18 months after their first date. we report on the royal eng

and behind them, andrew jackson. bad hosting. that's what it is. wish these subsequentmen had given trump a native american name. he call you "dances with putin." ( laughter ) ( applause ) as embarrassing as this thing is, this is far from the worst thing trump has said recently because, even though most prominent republicans have come out against alabama senate candidates and creepy guy at build a bear workshop roy moore. donald trump is not most republicans. when they zig, he endorses are pedophile. >> president trump making clear late today he is standing by alabama republican senate candidate roy moore. >> mr. president, is an accused child molester better than a democrat? >> he totally denies it. he says it didn't happen and, you know, you have to listen to him also. he said, 40 years ago, this did not happen, so, you know. >> trevor: yeah, so roy moore just says he didn't do it and trump believeshome. you know what i feel like? i feel like trump doesn't know that other people can also lie, you know? like it's a super power only he has.

student body president andrew jackson, a fraternity member himself, agrees. >> it's an opportunity for us to take a step back and look and really do a deep dive into the issues that might be happening. >> reporter: ohio state the latest school just this fall to suspend greek life amid concerns of drinking, hazing or sexual misconduct. joining the university of michigan, florida state, louisiana state and texas state. four students have died this year while pledging fraternities including 19-year-old timothy piazza served 18 drinks in an hour and 22 minutes. >> they then left him to die alone, and they tried to cover it up. >> reporter: his school, penn state, has resumed greek life but under tight new restrictions. this could be a turning point, say experts. >> the greek system's on notice that if we're not able to clean up these aberrant behaviors, we may not have greek life in ten years. >> reporter: at ohio state, students hope the suspension will be temporary. >> i think they need to find a middle ground. >> there's not a problem with all the frats. i think it's just a couple of th

i should also mention in front of a portrait of andrew jackson who made persecution of native americans american policy back in the 1800s. here is a bit more of what sarah sanders said today. >> so this is a racial slur, so why is it appropriate for him to use that? >> well, like i said, i don't think that it is and i don't think that was certainly not the president's intend. >> sarah, does he seek -- >> i think the most offensive thing -- i'm sorry? >> does he see political value in calling people out racially? why use that term? >> look, i think that senator warren was very offensive when she lied about something specifically to advance her career. i don't understand why no one's asking about that question and why that isn't constantly covered. >> reporter: it's not really a mystery why elizabeth warren is top of mind right now, jake. she was one of the architects of the cfpb, and this weekend argued that the president was overstepping his bounds by intervening and naming mick mulvaney the director of that consumer watchdog agency. she argued over the weekend on twitter that this shou
