these are very old political parties, democratic party formed 1832 to reelect andrew jackson. the republican party formed in 1854 to oppose the kansas nebraska act in the territories, they succeeded on that within a decade or so but they have continued ever since. >> host: going back to election day, panic is a poor guide to reality and you provide historical perspective. goldwater's loss in 1954, democratic losses in the 1990s. >> is political party, you will hear predictions from some people that the republican party which in 2016, majorities in the house is about to disappear, similar predictions about the democratic party from time to time. they persist through political disaster much worse than either party has suffered currently. republicans in 1932, democrats in 1920, they emerge as competitive in a decade and they overcome third-party challenges of considerably greater significance than we have seen with ross perot in the 1990s. there is something fundamental, enduring character of these two parties has provided an avenue for people, the political population has always

andrew jackson, they say stuff, but andrew jackson was a good election. we had among the greatest elections of all time. we have to know so meant that election, we have to cemented. once we do, it's going to be very hard to take this beautiful experiment of parts don't want apart because it's all about you. it's all about your future. it's all about the future of our great country. with your help, we will lift billions of more citizens from welfare to work. from independence and prosperity doe mike poverty to prosperity will ask congress to create a safe modern and lawful system of immigration. by the way, roger jeffers, wherever you may be at this time. wherever you are, where is he? he may not be the greatest person, i said that that this four years ago, man, what a guy. and he's a man of god. he said that, he may not be the greatest, he made not be the most perfect christian, he may not know the bible as well as some of us, but he's a leader and i love donald trump. i said who is like i, i love like i, robert jeffers. he's a great guy. he's got a big,

remember, this is 1835, andrew jackson was looking for we elections update. ohio was a state. ohio had electorate votes. michigan was a territory and had none so guess who one? ohio was eventually given toledo and toledo and the bc behind me would have been in michigan had it not been for that move in 1835 very possibly we would have been standing in michigan, but as it turned out ohio was given toledo, and a michigan was given the upper peninsula. but and i say but because it really wasn't over at that point took in fact, the ohio michigan war, the toledo war which really began and took place in 1835, 1836 was when it was a settled, it really wasn't settled until 1973 and the reason for that was that the boundary and lake erie because lake erie, michigan and ohio shared shoreline on the western end of lake erie. where does the boundary go when it hits the late? does it go straight across the lake or the curve? well, as they eventually decided and it took the supreme court to do it in 1973, decided it actually curves so there's a little tiny island called turtle island in lake

republicans would have been better off passing a censure motion likand -- and andrew jackson becaused them and by the election the impeachment for clinton was toxic and you'll republican george w. bush never talked about it said i'll restore dignity and honor to the white house and left everybody to get mired in the monica lewinsky mess. >> martha: do you think the democrats will regret this process? >> no, there's a difference. at its peak at the public during the time of the lewinsky affair 29% approved of impeachment at the peak after ken star took her way and threatened monica lewinsky. a month after we got win of the transcript and the whistleblower and taylor's testimony the majority is for impeachment and removal. this is shocking. >> martha: it compares the same point in the process where president trump's number is, 350% -- 50% and clinton's number. we're at an accelerated time in the country people back there were not watching 24/7 cable news and didn't have social media and the process, frankly, no matter which side of the fence you're on was more transparent than this pro

no president has ever, ever said anything like that, the possible exception of andrew jackson before. that's when i decided, how can i, i've spent my whole life doing this, how can i remain silent? because i was raised by a dad who taught me silence is complicit. this is the way he has tried to divide this country and pitted people against one another. and you saw it didn't just end with charlottesville, look what happened in el paso recently, you know, young man saying i shot all these people in the parking lot because there's a hispanic invasion. well, the president just weeks, and the 2018 off year campaign kept showing that video of people marching up, we're being invaded by latinos and mexicans are rapists, and this division in our country is just so devastating, so devastating for so many people, and it's ruining our standing around the world, in a way that is going to be hard to -- look, we can probably handle four years if he doesn't get us in a war in the next year, and i'm not being a wise guy. i'm not being glib saying that. but eight years of donald trump will fundamental

what happened was andrew jackson was president at the time. never member this is an 1835. injured jackson was looking for reelection. a while ohio had votes. it have none. so guess who won. ohio was eventually given to toledo. this would have been in michigan had it not been 1835. we would have been sitting in michigan. but as it turned out ohio was given toledo in michigan was given the peninsula. it really wasn't over at that point. in fact, the ohio michigan war which really began and took place in 1835 and 36. it really wasn't settled until 1973. the reason for that was the boundary happened with the boundary of lake erie. as they eventually decided they took the supreme court to do. in 1973 they decided that it actually curbed. there is a little tiny island. it had been half of michigan and half in ohio. that is a story anyway. >> fort my anise was built in 1794 by british troops in what was then considered the northwest territory. when people hear in a combination of him. his name is everywhere. we ride his big highway into the city. if you stopped people what did he

trump's great racial nationalist hero, andrew jackson, received a gold medallion from the prime ministernezuela, simon bolivar. turned it over to congress, congress said no. this president has been collecting millions of dollars from foreign governments at hotels and golf courses, from business deals all over the world. and, of course, at the headquarters of all the corruption, the trump hotel in washington, which we call the washington emolument. but now he's outdone himself with this event which will be clearly the most unconstitutional event ever to take place at a hotel in the history of the united states because you've got a convergence of foreign emoluments violations with domestic emoluments violations. he's going to be shaking down these foreign governments for hundreds of thousands, at least probably millions of dollars, which he cannot receive, as you pointed out. he can't take one dollar from them without the consent of congress. and he's not asked for our consent. and then he's also going to be directing millions of dollars from the u.s. government directly to his property. t

they voted to impeach andrew jackson for being outside of the values they believed in america.ld do that in this case. now we have a president that's fairly clear from his own words and everhi if it's out in the open, that he abused power and power of the office and welcomed a foreign government into our elections. i'm just curious. i would love the republicans to tell me what instance would they vote for president trump to be impeached. i would love to know that. >> certainly getting more information about this. as i said, this is inappropriate. this is not something a republican communication adviser or political adviser would say this is a great thing to say to the president of ukraine. there is not enough evidence to indicate -- i don't see a quid pro quo on that transcript. i don't see a malfeasance. i don't see crimes necessitating an impeachment. >> he used the word favor. he withheld aid. what was the justification for withholding aid? what was the purpose of the call? he acknowledged he wants this investigation to happen. you can put two and two together. realize one w

andrew jackson in 1834 was censured. it said we're not going to say nothing, but we don't know that we can actually pull off a change, therefore, we're going to let the people decide. >> i want clarify. congressman sanford, do you worry at all about a precedent where it is acceptable for a president to use the power of his office to pressure foreign leaders, especially of countries that really need u.s. help like ukraine, to pressure them to investigate rivals? because if that precedent is acceptable, and i hear people in the president's camp saying that's okay, do you worry about that? >> completely. >> it goes on forever. right? >> i completely agree with you. let me be 100% clear. i don't think it's right. end of story. the question is what do you do about it? and that's a more complex question. which is do you look at censure? do you look at impeachment? what does impeachment entail in this is where it's worth everybody reading david brooks' column last week. he argues articulately that what's done here is wrong. the

no president in american history has only deified a court order, although andrew jackson supposedly said marshall has made his decision, let him enforce it, ultimately jackson complied it. >> would be unprecedented if the president were to refuse to obey the court, he's got control over the troops. so far we haven't quite reached that donnybrook. >> jeffrey, if we get to the point that we do, we willing calling you and we always appreciate your analysis. jeff rosen is the president and ceo of the national constitution center and a professor of the george washington university law school. i want to take a quick look at markets. we have seen markets in the green for most of the day today for one particular reason. that is in addition to the tweets that the president has been sending out for the last two weeks having to do with the impeachment inquiry, he tweeted out today that he is meeting with the chinese and that he thinks that there's some level of confidence in a trade deal with the chinese. you can see earlier in the day marcus starting out in the red and almost immediately went up o

. >> andrew jackson once spread through his mainstream media today horrible lies about senator daviet, ran him out of tennessee, no one fact checked that either. this has been around since the begoing of our country -- since beginning of our country, since beginning of printing press. facebook should be held accountable and do whatever they can but should not be the one put up on a pedestal and thrown rocks at because there's lies out there in the media. there's lies out everywhere and they have been around since we had media. the separate issue of libra is issue of solvency. that to me is important. this dog and pony show was a distraction and a waste of time. >> i think a decentralized platform like libra would make a lot of sense especially as authoritarianism goes around the globe, an interesting play. not everyone can use the dollar in a free way we want it. david: if zuckerberg combines that with his billion plus -- >> but he's not there just to make money. david: if you believe that, i've got a bridge in brooklyn. president trump announcing what he hopes will be a permanent ce

it is why presidents going back as far as andrew jackson have sought preemptive approval.corruption. it is happening in plain sight. the brazen admission by the acting chief of staff yesterday for why they chose this resort are really beyond the pail to me. obviously the congress has a job to do to hold the president accountable.obviously the congrb to do to hold the president accountable. many committees have been engaged on these issues. sent numerous letters to the administration previously both on the president's violations of the emoluments clause blobroadl well as this specific issue. i imagine that we will go further and there is some discussion in the house and i think that that is something that i would support as well as many of my colleagues. >> if he does hold it there, will you be subpoenaing his records? i know that he says that he will do this at cost. do you have authority to subpoena his records here? he has said that any money that he makes off of one of his properties would go directly to treasury. it is not clear how much money he is making. they haven'

there's a really interesting story in salt lake city, my home, where they changed the name of the andrew jacksonlementary school to the mary jackson elementary school. and mary jackson was the first -- she was a nasa engineer and the school board said well she had her college degree and andrew jackson did not and we want to point our students towards college. so that's one possible solution out there. the last name is lee, find a different name that reflects somebody you want to represent to your students. i just wanted to share that comment. >> and then over to allison after -- and then greg -- >> first, i had the wonderful opportunity of reading -- hello. the camera is in the way. to read cynthia's book. it's really, really good. everyone buy a copy, assign it in your class. i know you pressed to get the book out because it's really good. patty, i hate to stop on your western triumphalism, but you got a taste, not only is there a fabulous installation in montgomery alabama about lynching, there are remarkable memorials to the civil rights era throughout the south. there are well organized afri

andrew jackson was a genuine pop list in many ways. hui long to some extent was a genuine pop list. trump was like joe mccarthy. roy cone, the attorney, proving you don't have to make this stuff up, god just provides these details, once received mccarthy that he had bought anticommunism the way somebody might buy a car if the was. it was a vehicle to get someplace. that's what trump's done. he traffics in our basic instincts. it's as much as aphobia, racism, isolationism as anything else. one of the mysteries of the age which will ultimately be solved is to what extent he has been acting consciously or deliberately at the behest of a foreign power even. and i use that word advisedly. he represents the russian world view in a way with far more clarity and consistency, actually, than he represents the american world view. that's just a clinical observation. the framers put that article in the constitution because they feared moments like this. they thought they'd be dealing with it with somebody like aaron bird being bought off or something. it took a while. it took 2 1/2 centuries. b
