. ♪♪ ♪ ♪ >> welcome to andrew jackson: hero under fire if.e of america's most consequential leaders. we're going to examine the remarkable life of our seventh president and find out why he could be so controversial in our day. his legacy is under attack in many circles, and as calls mount to take down can monuments, we're going to hear from both sides of the argument. i've been researching andrew jackson, and i'll show you how important the battle of new

andrew jackson was tough, smart, and energetic.lived a remarkable life and americo rewarded him for it. that's equality. equity is the opposite. equity is what allowed kamala harris the privilege child of 28 phds to stay privileged. in the end, become one of the most powerful people on the planet despite having achieved nothing impressive or worthwhile over the span of 56 years. if andrew jackson and kamala harris, both democrats, one of the child of equality, the other the child of equity. that is the difference in a nutshell. to recap, a quality challenge is power power. that principle has never been on starker display than in the case of the teachers unions, which are some of the most powerful institutions in america. you're using the term equity to justify their own prerogatives as they hurt the week, in this case, school children. last night we told you what the president of the los angeles teachers union, and equity promoter called sisley cruz. for months, parents whose kids need education and los angeles have been begging to

history and found the filibuster in the senate concerned issues for congress what to do about andrew jackson'se deposit. appointed to a publication called the congressional world and whether to create a national back. but i am serious, i democratic colleagues believe what they are saying, they themselves use a racist tool senator scott last year, a racist relic when they declared the kids act, delayed care act to block legislation to protect unborn babies who can feel pain for senator schumer and durbin, they sent a letter all endorsing a racist relic. for the filibuster was not an offensive relic as recently as last summer but magically, imagine this. within a year, much of the became an offensive relic from the instant the democrats came to power. all of the sudden it's an offensive racist relic on the democrats coming to power. jaw-dropping. these consulting intelligence of the american people, desperate to change the subject to the 1960s because they want people to forget just last year. the 1960s, racist relic, some of my democratic colleagues want to lobby two of their colleagues to go b

i think you can say after andrew jackson was elected in 1828. first ladies really stayed pretty much out of sight except for some exceptions that we'll talk about and part of the reason was that the country was really changing, you know until then the presidents had all come from the east coast their wives had a certain social level with the new states coming in from the west what they called the west. i mean that was ohio in indiana for them. that was the west and these women were left prepared to face in washington because now the capital is of course after 1800 the white house is the center of the first lady's operation and they were less confident about what to wear what to serve what to say and rachel jackson the wife of andrew jackson. i mean she had such a rough time of it. you can't blame the others for saying i'm not going to have any more of that. of course. she was never first lady. she died between the election and the inauguration and her husband said that the nasty things they said about her were the reason she died. i mean they ma

cox, as you saw there at the press conference, give the example of andrew jackson and the president could always work as well and talk about a situation with a national banks. remember, we talked about that in the andrew johnson chapter. nixon took the gamble, but there were political consequences for him that he did not bank on. his firing of archibald cox, because it was viewed as so honest and a man of integrity, it backfired at least a firestorm of public protest. nixon was forced to hire a new special prosecutor leon juul ski, who is subpoenaed over even more tips. then, the supreme court agreed to hear the case of u.s. v. nixon, to decide the monumental constitution was a farewell. what exactly was the legal claim that nixon was making regarding the tapes? why did he say that these tapes were constitutionally protected? yes, at the? >> the president should be held to a different constitutional standard because they are in charge of so many important issues that they should be held to the same subpoena power. >> and he was talking about this notion of executive privilege in suggestin

. >> andrew jackson's wife rachel was blasted in the papers for being a pipe smoking hillbilly from tennesseekie kennedy called the press harpies and she hated the constant attention. >> felt very uncomfortable, very ill at ease with all the fanfare and attention of the press. >> there was a famous incident where she was doing a kristening of a ship and she went to break the bottle and they forgot to score the bottle ahead of time so she is banging it and banging it and it just won't break. she was humiliated. she told her husband i'm not doing another public appearance. >> trevor: i honestly feel bad for her because we've all had that moment where we just can't open a jar of me put butter. but imagine if the entire country was watching you struggle with that jar. almost got it, everybody. hold on. try running hot water over it. i tried that already. if you ask me the person to blame is the one who started this whole tradition. who thought it was a good idea to cristen a new ship by smashing it with a champagne bottle. you don't cristen a new car by slashing the tires with a samurai sword. an

of course, when conditions arose and the southeastern part of the country, particularly with andrew jackson's presidency and state of georgia obstinacy, feeling as if they were entitled to all the land, including the land of the cherokee whose territory, georges were now we're seeming to overrun, especially when they discovered gold in those territories. and so, that set in motion the chain of events which will culminate in the 1830 in the removal act, which thousands upon thousands of natives were relocated from all points of america, not just the southeast, butler the regions of the country as well. and they were all shipped off to what became oklahoma and kansas and what's the what's the five tribes did for their parties negotiate a series of treaties, because they knew that they couldn't resist removal and wants the cherokee cases had been handed down by the supreme court, jon marshall offering three huge cases. johnson versus mcintosh in 1823, based on the doctrine of discovery to establish that really did elevate the federal government to a superior prioritary position over the natives

andrew jackson was tough, smart and energetic.e lived a remarkable life and america rewarded him for it. that is equality. people like that rising to the top right equity is the opposite . equity allowed kamala harris th privilege child of two phd's to stay privileged. in the end to become one of the most powerful people on that planet despite having this huge nothing impressive or worthwhil over the span. inder jackson and kamala harris both democrats, one the child o equality, the other a child of equity. so to recap, equality challenge power, equity protects power. that principal has never been o starker display than in the cas of the teachers union which is some of the most powerful institutions in america. your using the term equity to use her own prerogatives as the hurt the school children and their parents. they told the man equity promoter called for months, parents whose kids in public education in los angeles have been bagley cecily meyer refuse to open the schools. why wouldn't they? how has she responded? demanding th

from middle school and from the advocacy and representing native americans against president andrew jacksonke this is it. i have to help people. people are treating people like this? no. from me to go from that to really listening to my intuition as well and, like, following, like, my heart, and not just necessarily this plan and if i didn't do that, i wouldn't be sitting here probably talking to you right now. and i'm just so grateful that my story is something that i was the main writer of. i had been manifesting these things and i have been working hard and i haven't allowed anybody to tell me any differently. even when they did, it didn't matter. so to have that tenacity to get to this place now, it just makes my story just more, like, me more willing to tell and share because it's not just my journey. it's a journey that could literally empower someone to do something that they're more than capable of doing that they wouldn't have done before. >> trevor: you do that every single time you take a picture, every single time you are put on to a magazine cover, because whether we like to ad

andrew jackson. meanwhile, further north, whispers. after philadelphia, arnold is ready to return to command. he was brought up on court martial charges while in philadelphia and found guilty. his numbers were light. a public censure from washington boiled down to we wish his conduct had not included this and it will change in the future. a little light tap. his last protector, washington, has failed him. so he is going to plot to make a daring change. he is going to angle to be placed at west point. washington is kind of shocked by this. why does he want the outpost? west point is crucial for this fight here. it is along the hudson. what is it meant to do? keep out ships, literally tear the halls of them. did it work? what do you think? does anyone say yes? the bottom line, no one knows, because it was never tested. so you have batteries on either side, but west point false, and the garrisons and batteries, what can the british? to take the hudson and their four -- . andrÉ, this is his self portrait. it well arranged to meet with arno

this shows the big cheese that was given to andrew jackson. there's a tradition at this point of giving presidents cheese that they can host with. this is the big cheese that was presented to jackson in 1835. and it was there for people to munch on for a couple years. it looks ridiculous, i think, right? but this cheese is in fact at least to federalist's thinking, really a symbol of jeffersonianism. it's impractical, the idea of it is driven by folly and it's a case where the idea or the ideology doesn't always play out as planned in the reality. it doesn't help at all that the cheese is presented by the leader of the baptist community in chester named john leland, a baptist preacher. this is cutler writing to his son-in-law. last sunday, the cheese monger, who was the conductor of this monument of human weakness and folly to the place of its destination, was introduced as the preacher to both houses of congress and a great number of gentlemen and ladies from i know not where. the president made one of the audience. such a performance i have

of course when conditions arose in the southeastern part of the country, um particularly with andrew jackson's presidency and state of georgia's obstacy feeling as if they are entitled to all the lands including the lands of the cherokee whose territory georgians were now seeking to overrun particularly once they discovered gold in in those territories and so that said in in motion a chain of events that would ultimately culminate in the 1830 indian removal act which thousands upon thousands of native nations. we're relocated from all points of america, not just the southeast but other regions country as well and and were all shipped off. to what became oklahoma and kansas and the what the five civilized tribes did for their part was negotiate a series of removal treaties because they knew that they couldn't resist removal and and once the the cherokee cases have been handed down by the supreme court with john marshall authoring three huge cases johnson versus mcintosh in 1823, which elevates adoption of discovery to a status that really did elevate the federal government to have superior prop

most americans didn't vote for him, even though we didn't get more electoral college votes and andrew jackson it came down to a contingent election in which means for henry adams a democracy doesn't always run well and democracy can give rise to certain things that the founders didn't think about including political parties. so, how to get around political parties is you create this mandarin class, does not administer to this party or that party. there-- one could say good things about this, one can offer criticism as well. i refer to self interested attempt by adams to conceptualize washington dc in any way, but one that would essentially give rise to what we would call i suppose today a cognitive elites those people had the best training, the best opportunities to get in. it's a vision that clearly hasn't come to pass at least in terms of government to work. the meritocracy is still very much alive and for example, the tech industry and colleges and universities where parents pay premium to see their children are credentialed in the right schools. >> let's swing back a little bit and get to

couple of years later, they issue this note that features a detailed but early century vignette of andrew jackson at the battle of new orleans, a different type of patriotic image trying to confer some trust and confidence in a note that came from a bank that was highly suspect, wound up failing not many years after the bank was founded, and images like this, grand, patriotic images tried visually to instill some confidence on the note of an institution where there were a lot of questions. the attempt to elicit an emotional response to a banknote came in a lot of different forms, not just with patriotic imagery like this, but sometimes more fun or exotic imagery. this is a note from the howard banking company at the mass historical society and you see the center vignette is of santa claus on a rooftop being pulled by reindeer. this is not ben franklin, this is not a glassblowing vignette, this is something more lighthearted or more fun, something that might make an emotional connection to an audience. santa claus does appear on a variety of banknotes in the era, including one on the santa claus b

filibusters in the senate concerned issues such as where to locate congress, what to do about andrew jackson's censure over withdrawn federal deposits, who would be appointed to a publication called "the congressional globe," and whether to create a national bank. nothing to do with racism. but i'm curious. if our democratic colleagues really believe what they are saying, did they themselves use a racist tool against senator scott's police reform bill just last year? did they use a racist relic when they declared the cares act, when they delayed the cares act or blocked legislation to protect unborn babies who can feel pain? were senator schumer and durbin and their 33 colleagues who signed that letter all endorsing a racist relic? or else our colleague's story that the filibuster was not an offensive relic as recently as last summer, but magically -- imagine this, just magically within a year, magically became an offensive relic the instant the democrats came to power. all of a sudden, it's an offensive, racist relic on the the -- when the democrats came to power. jaw-dropping hypocrisy. thes

appeal and a lot of importance one of the interesting things about the you know, the rise of andrew jackson. is he brings really in a sense modern parties with him? and the last book that i wrote the field of blood has a kind of main character at its center who gets swept up into jackson and all the he represents and what's striking about his diary is you can feel the way in which he suddenly feels a member of a club and there's never been a club like it before and there's a brotherhood and there's an intenseness and you can feel the weird personal appeal of party. and how that kind of appeal can really create a national structure that you know again now we take for granted, but that can do a lot of things. well, the next question is actually directly related and a great one i think for us which for you i mean, which is our audience member asks considering the central role of twitter and chat groups now for january for january 6th. how did the media in the early republic either intensify or de-escalate political violence? that's a great question and one of the things that's been most striki
