>> guest: he reminds me a lot of andrew jackson and i will explain why a. you were a clever interviewer because it goes back to the original scene. he was a populist. jackson was the first populist. his campaigns are similar to trump and john quincy adams, harvard educated, conducting diplomacy at 13-years-old speaking so many languages we couldn't create a better caricature. he represents the rough and tumble population that overthrows to evade and jackson you expect would come in and try to overthrow everything because he's a populist but in the end they didn't have the votes so there were the efforts to defeat the bank. when jackson was almost giving it in a defensive way where he issues and outrageous faction saying it is a defense to what i did. he moved money out of the bank of the united states and into other banks. he used it as a defensive shield i don't know if he will go down like andrew jackson did but he is a disruptor and the political order at the same time that he is relying on the sport and presidential power and removal in law enforcement.

and the populist historically, if you look at andrew jackson or fdr, populist usually are people who are against it and want to overcome the constitution, and often are the sparks for a large-scale change for the constitution because they are so interested in achieving their mandates. trump is a different kind of creature i think. trump is a populist politically, but good governance and constitutional conservative. it's not trump, for example, that his critics that have discussed seriously getting rid of the electoral college. it was a large number of democratic presidential nominees who talked about increasing the size of the supreme court from nine to 15. there are trump critics today, at least one columnist in "the new york times" op-ed page who called the use of federal law enforcement in response to the recent disorders as an occupying trump army and declared it a time to call fascism yet. his critics want to have more permanent independent counsels. it concerns the political disputes into the law-enforcement matters who supported the rise of a permanent law enforcement and nati

because he is a populist land the constitution fears populist if you think of them like fdr or andrew jackson people who think they have the popular will behind them in the constitution is seen as an obstacle clearly to people like fdr so you thought trump would come into the office and find the constitution an obstacle to what he wanted to do but the last in half and four years of what i have seen is the opponents went to change constitutional changes like the electoral college so between nine and 16 members that would be terrible for judicial independence for the rule of law. they don't want to support those special councils of the partisan and then jim comey decides with global warming. and a surprising defender the constitution and the institutions. and with those constitutional powers of which he has been so - - accuse so often so jumping to chapter two and to faithfully execute it what that means for president trumps relationship and the conflict with james comey. and protecting the country and national security and to enforce the law that was a very definition of tyranny. so one way i

. >> i actually doubted in the reason i doubt it is again if you go back to andrew jackson there are certain people who fill the room and the next person ain't going to fill the room the same way. most certainly whoever succeeds trump next january or four years later will be more managerial and organized and have that her staff. all which are things that would cripple trump. it's not what he needs and it's not what he wants. so my first instinct is to say i don't think that he will significantly change the residency. i think he will significantly change the country if he gets four more years. in some ways he's done some good for example the national security council has shrunk back to. obama size but in other ways the machinery just runs and if it doesn't run under trump it's going to run under somebody else. >> last question you covered this extensively in your new book. it has nothing to do with trump and it has everything to do with china. maybe this is overstating it up he is literally at war sunday with china because of the direction of thing is going and i don't necessarily mea

agencies and the national guard were called in to defend federal property like lafayette park, andrew jackson statue there, or the emancipation statue in lincoln park to the east of the capitol. or whether it's in portland. you know, portland, for several days now, has had a presence of homeland security officers, not to act as a general riot police, but to defend the courthouse there. defend the federal buildings that were under attack. i don't mean just graffiti and vandalism. these insurrectionists were trying to breakthrough the doors and the windows. they were launching commercial-grade fireworks into these buildings, trying to burn them down. they were pelting these officers with frozen water bottles or rocks or broken concrete. they were trying to blind them in the eyes with commercial lasers. which they did in fact do. right now three officers who still don't have their vision back. if the mayor of portland and the governor of oregon don't want federal officers defending federal property in their city and state, they need to do their duty, which is defend it. now, we just have breakin
