and this was the start of why andrew jackson never forgive john calhoun. you might think it was a matter of high policy. and eventually it was. but it started because, well, as jackson saw it, that calhoun could not control his wife and his wife and therefore through his wife calhoun himself was casting aspersions on peg eden. this requires me to tell a little bit about jackson's personal story with women. his mother died rescuing him from a prisoner of war camp in the revolutionary war. and jackson believed that his mother was a saint. and then his wife died because she had been slandered during the campaign of 1828 and under the strain of all of this criticism, she had a physical breakdown that ended in her dea death. so as a result of this, jackson could not stand the idea that defenseless women would be defamed. and if jackson had been alive today, he would have said i believe the woman. and this was jackson's view. and when peg eden said she was blameless and john eden said my i believe you. and all these people saying that she's not, they can't be par

so this was the start of why andrew jackson never forgave john calhoun. it started because as jackson saw it calhoun could not control his wife. and this requires me to tell a little bit about jackson and his personal story with women. his mother died rescuing him from a prisoner of war camp in the revolutionary war and jackson believed that his mother was a saint. and then his wife died because she was slandered during the campaign of 1828 and during the strain of criticism she had a breakdown that ended in her death. as a result, jackson could not stand the idea that defensive -- defenseless women would be defamed. if jackson was alive today he would say he believed the woman. when peg eaton said he was blameless jackson said i believe you. all of these people that said she's not, jackson couldn't fire his entire cabinet at once. the cabinet was paralyzed. and so the business of the united states could not go on because of this petticoat war among the women. i will conclude and say that andrew jackson is one of the major subsidiary characters. he didn't

jefferson's ideological descendents included andrew jackson and james k. polk, the president responsible for the mexican war. jackson and polk knew that for jefferson's so-called yeoman farmers to flourish, large amounts of virgin land were needed. so there was no coincidence that jefferson, jackson and polk together, added 2.1 million square miles to the united states, although jackson invaded florida before he was president. when jefferson took office in 1801, the u.s. land area was 891,000 square miles. when polk left office in 1849, it covered nearly three million square miles. what became the 48 contiguous states. since then, just 700,000 square miles have been added, most of it alaska. i emphasize land because the mexican war was all about taking land from mexico. the mexican war was the first, but by no means the last, american war began on a questionable pretext. we have seen it happen since then. the sinking of the maine at havana, the alleged gulf of tonkin incident and the purported weapons of mass destruction in iraq. polk said the war was about

andrew, great calls from andrew jackson. head of fixed income at hermes.ean market open is up next. >> good morning, we are live from our european headquarters. guy johnson is out this week. the cash trade is less than 30 minutes away. ♪ the italian side continues. -- isesident is billy willing to promote a new cabinet. all eyes on the league leader and his next move.

you refer to andrew johnson, you wrote a book about andrew jackson.h they may be different people, at the time people in the country thought we were can follow part. -- we were going to fall apart. there are some parallels there, that maybe we are overreacting? >> we could certainly be overreacting. i think president trump would love that. we all must endow him with superpowers. part of my point is that we have been in lots of moments of division and darkness. jackson and trump have similar hair. insist -- assist from steve bannon and has embraced that analogy. jackson, by the time he became president -- he was a good negotiator in that he marshaled his vices. we haven't seen evidence yet that president trump is able to master his own fault. david: talking about vices. one thing you talk about in the book is character, the character of a person in office, you say it changes because of the office. is it character in the person or is it what we know about the character? we have had earlier presidents, where if we knew everything at the time would have q

lincolna lincoln -- a lincoln or hate andrew jackson or whatever affiliation it might be. they folded that into their personal identity. politics is something you can engage in in a way that the economic system might be difficult to engage in, or education might be difficult to get. you can still turn out at rallies and yell and holler for your guy. susan: you write about how political party affiliation is a family thing. were these young people recordable to the other party? would they just reinforce what already existed? jon: 95% of voters vote for what they originally have started with. there was a little bit of a wobble. there were young men able to vote at 21, there is a little time in their where just enough voters could be won over to swing an election. these are the closest elections in american history. you get a couple 21-year-olds in the right state to switch sides, you have one control of the entire government. susan: i saw a statistic that in 1820, one quarter of the eligible voters voted and only 20 years later that voted to 46. -- that switched to 4/5. what

you asked a second about historical presence trump wants to be andrew jackson and not many do so that's -- ands he was coming down to the hermit the man actually he doesn't know much about jackson. i know that will shock you. [laughter] i -- i went to interview him in may of '16, and we were actually together that that morning, and i was -- went over we were talking about, you know, talking to trump about history and -- while i was thinking about becoming president it was a brief. conversation -- but one of the things i refer to as late steve bannon gave him this jackson analogy after the election and he put the portrait up in the oval office all of that, and in march of this last year, of '17 trump came down to nashville where willy was educated the bethlehem of the dynasty i'll explain that later, and to -- lay a wreath at jackson's grave, and 250thed birthday i'm sure he had a paintball duo up here or something so i was sitting at home, and -- [laughter] that's why i live i should do something. so i wrote an open letter to the president. sayingsay that if you are goingo embrace jacks

trump wants to be andrew jackson and not many people do. and he was coming down to the hermitage -- he hadn't actually -- doesn't know much but jackson. ... >> thinking about becoming president, it was a brief conversation. [laughter] but one of the things is then i called i now refer to as the late steve bannon -- [laughter] gave him this jackson analogy after the election. and he put the portrait up in the oval office and all of that. and in march of this last year, '17, he came down, trump came down to nashville where willie was educated. it's kind of the bethlehem of the geist dynasty. [laughter] >> thank you. >> i'll explain that later. [laughter] to lay a wreath at jackson's grave. his 250th birthday. i'm sure you all had a paint ball duel up here or something. [laughter] so i was sitting at home where i live, and i was thinking i should do something. so i wrote an open letter to the president saying that if you're going to embrace jackson, don't just embrace the crazy parts, all right? jackson, and jackson could be crazy. he once said

go back to the 1930s when the new deal was such an influence on the scholars and that's when andrew jackson went soaring because he was thought to be the populace forerunner of franklin roosevelt's of any part of the polling that you don't like just wait 20 years. [laughter] where do you think -- you mentioned his domestic accomplishments in the environmental protection agency created under nixon, when there was inflation fo the price conts came into effect which would be a vigorous use of the central government. where would he fit in today's republican party? >> he wouldn't. one of the things i was wary about in writing the book is whether there would be an audience in today's polarized politics because nixon was that breed of northeast moderate republicanism that he came from california. any president is elected they get to take portraits to hang in thtaken thecabinet room of theid the one that nixon picked was dwight eisenhower, teddy roosevelt and a democrat, woodrow wilson. so he was definitely of the progressive stream and there really is no place for him in the republican party today

quote, andrew jackson said, i was born for the storm and calm does not suit me. warned that some decision of his would risk a public clamor, jackson once said, i cared nothing about clamors, sir. i to quote, precisely what i think i just and right. theodore roosevelt generally thought of himself as a gladiator against evil. he was taking a large risk by challenging the citadels of wealth and power. t.r. boasted that the farmers, mechanics, small tradesmen all considered him their president. roosevelt had always invade against the lies in the press as foul and dirty as ever was made by any dog, end quote. to me, president trump is carrying on the legacies of presidents jackson and theodore roosevelt. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from michigan seek recognition? >> permission to speak to the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> today, may 7, is my wife's birthday. may seem like a small thing to many, but it's hard to describe the sacrifice and commitment that

leaders determined in the 1810s, andrew jackson in particular, that florida had to become part of the united states. they not only pressured spain to relinquish it, they also waged three wars with the people they called the seminoles, or the florida indians, although not all native people in florida thought of themselves as members of the same group at that point. so the florida i'm talking about today was, a., not disney land, and also, not a sort of stable bastion of the old south. it was a contested border land, frontier zone where americans met and traded with and clashed with different european powers, native people and people of african heritage, seeking their own freedom in florida. it was constantly churning with cycles of frontier violence. so put the women i'm talking about into that geopolitical context. in 1831, victoria le sassier, a wealthy pensacola widow in her 70s -- she was not a young woman -- divorced her second husband, pedro. deeply in debt, al ba had threatened to take control of his wife's separate estate, worth $36,000. that's nearly $1 million in today's term

trump himself may not be a figure of history andrew jackson at 150 years for a decent biography to be written about him by schlesinger and it may take 150 years to be written about donald trump and set aside his flaws, which are many and character flaws which are many but his election in it of itself, the nomination are important in the standpoint of history. but reagan remains a compelling figure of history even trump does not understand him the other day he attacked him in pennsylvania on his trade policies he was free trade that it is a fundamental misunderstanding of his trade policy at his core he was anti-communist wanted to beat the soviet union at his core he knew free trade with china and mexico would strengthen our alliance and economies to make them much more resilient to communist takeover as a soviets were trying to do in central america and nicaragua so for trump to attack reagan on trade is a fundamental misunderstanding also reagan understood going back to his time at eureka college that during the depths of the great depression many people believe it was aggravated by

two impeachments, andrew jackson and bill clinton, they didn't.h nixon, dragged through the summer of '73, it was other factors weighed. the oil embargo. neil: the uncertainty of it ahead of time. the uncertainty certainly had your, certainly hurts our country. i think the biggest issue with the trade war mitigated and any problem that could occur in north korea which seems to be mitigated as well. neil: we get a north korean deal does it offset whatever we get on this side? >> yes. >> nixon cut all sorts of amazing-- >> nixon was great in china. neil: we get a north korean deal, what do you think. >> i think yes it cancels out who-- >> everything else? >> absolutely. >> you get a north korean deal people won't care about stormy daniels and-- >> we get a north korean deal and a trade war. >> that's not good. and this is much i do, a reminder we've got very big primary races across a number of key states, we'll be following that on fox business at 8 p.m. your money, your politics, your life. it's important to you, we just don't mail it in like othe

. >> andrew jackson taught us that. and he was a big second amendment guy back in the day. i think that when i'm lucky enough to talk to office holders and one of my many character flaws is i love politicians. i think it's the effect of having read all the king's men too early. and tr once said no poll station as great as the admirers think they are or as bad as the enemies they are they are. we're testing the latter part of that in the decades of the 21st century. what i don't understand and what i say is, again, what are we going to think about you when we look at your portrait, when we see your name down the years. and i said to amanda the other day i think it's remarkable and a sign of something that ted cruz was the nelson rockefeller of the 2016 republican convention. he was the one who stood up like rock feller in '64 and said to the base, you know, that he was going to take a different stand. rockefeller. it's amazing that there's a calculation to survive in texas he's going to have to cooperate with someone who has so overtly and specifically attacked him and joe d

andrew jackson, miracle of new orleans.we don't win and don't hold on to anything beyond the mississippi. he had a bullet in him and he suffered from dysentery and down to 140 pounds at 6'1. people think about that. because a lot of families have legacies back to the battle of new orleans and they have written me and said, you know, we have relatives in that battle. ainsley: buy it for father's day. it is a great book and gift for your dad. brian: now let's talk netflix. ainsley: michelle wolf has a new show. you might recognize that name. can't picture who that is? she is the one right there. she spoke at the white house correspondents dinner and she got a lot of grief because she was making fun of sarah huckabee sanders and her looks. so now she has a new show on netflix. pete: she does it debuted or one of the first couple episodes played. she went on more to extrapolate about this administration, glass ceilings, the cia, sarah sanders. listen to what she had to say. >> you know nominated my best friend sarah huckabee sa
