tom: back to linkedin or andrew jackson, right? -- back to lincoln or andrew jackson?el: the economy is little bigger than it was in andrew jackson. tom: michael mckee has to do it in real time which is a real art. john, the partition between flow dynamics and new theory of qe and learning about smoke signals -- it a changed discussion. jonathan: we need to talk about rates. that was the only lever to pull on. what is more important, qe or rates? let's bring in steve ricchiuto. you think qe is the more important tool. when someone like myself sits here and says i think qe does not matter, $120 billion, $180 billion, you think it does make a difference, why? steve: you are living in a world of excess supply and what you need to do is create liquidity that allows inflation rate to actually not get sucked into a deflationary bias. this has been the fed's ongoing risk. continuing to fall back to their preemptive ways. this is the thing that worries me the most. the interest rate dynamic is not having any impact on the currency. the difference between a near zero interest r

remember, we talked about that in the andrew jackson chapter. nixon took the gamble. but there were political consequences for him that he didn't bank on. his firing of cox because he was viewed as so honest and a man of integrity backfired and unleash aid firestorm of public protest. nixon was forced to hire a new special prosecutor who subpoenaed more tapes. then the supreme court agreed to hear the case of u.s. versus nixon to decide this monumental constitutional question once and for all. what exactly was the legal claim that nixon was making regarding the tapes? why did he say that these tapes were constitutionally protected? yes, eddie. >> since the president should be held to a different constitutional standard since there are charges so many important issues they shouldn't be held to the same subpoena power. >> okay. he was talking about this notion of executive privilege and suggesting that there was an absolute privilege. what does the supreme court say? do they agree there is such a thing as executive privilege? yeah. annie. >> they recognize executive pri

have not seen some of those photos either and it was really interesting to see the photo of andrew jackson's inauguration as i also worked on some artifacts for that better in the tennessee state museum so it would be kind of interesting if both the robe and andrew jackson's top hat were in the same spot at the same time. very cool. my involvement in this project goes back to january of 2019 which seems like a very long time ago now but i flew up to richmond to basically spend a morning at the house examining the robe and just really kind of coming to grips with its current condition. i don't think anyone had seen it for quite a while. it was just very fragile and people had wanted to take it out so i spent the morning carefully folding it documenting its current condition and after that i wrote up a treatment proposal for virginia and that's basically a document that outlines the condition and also goes through what i suggest for the treatment step-by-step and gives the client time and cost estimate and so as leo mentioned there was a period of time grazing and we had quite a few days on th

this is what made andrew jackson famous in the wake of the war of 1812. he without authorization rode into spanish florida and drove the spanish away. burr lived long enough to appreciate the irony of this. burr didn't get accolades for what jackson and houston did. burr instead got an indictment for treason and the treason trial forms a large portion of my book. i spend time on the treason trial because it allows me to boot leg history into this little story. also because in writing this book, after writing the book about the murder of jim fisk, for the love of josie mansfield at the heart of which were three murder trials i realized what dig wox realized years ago, the creator of the original perry mason shows, trials are natural for telling stories, whether in novel form, ask john grisham am or in movie form or in non-fiction. why are trials such an attractive form for the reader? i will tell you why they're attractive form for the author. because in the first place trials have dialogue. and this is something that you don't find a lot of in non-fiction

so then andrew jackson so the james will consume.by the way, who really was the trader of the story. it will concern for decades was on this payroll of the spanish government, unbeknownst to this u.s. army. so, birds logic strikes us, perhaps assuming that he did what he is alleged at down -- plotted this scheme to separate -- texas and beyond. it hardly seemed a heinous crime to most of those people living in the west at the time. and i will simply add that there are plenty of people living in the former confederacy today who think you know the confederacy lost their argument on the battlefield, the argument that states have a right to charge their own futures. that is what i can make of it. are we doing? time is up. yes, yes, i can't let you get out of here with at least the possibility of the book. thanks very much. you've been wonderful audience. >> we're bringing you american history all this week on c-span 3. wednesday morning starting at 8 am eastern, i look into the history of aviation. historians discuss world war i in world

he points to andrew jackson. he says what would andrew do? what are the values of andrew jackson? owe it to yourself and me and the jewish people. you have to do it. now truman turns his back to eddie. fingers on the desk, turns around and says all right, you win you --. i will see him. two months later he is the first , foreign leader to recognize the independent state of israel. it is i think the most dramatic moment of a friend being able to speak to a leader that affected world history. host: in close runny -- and close running is the friendship of john kennedy and david ormsby-gore. how did he play such a critical role in the presidency? mr. ginsberg: it was one of a 25 year friendship. a friendship of mutual interest. they met in prewar london. they loved to talk fast, play fast. they loved to carouse they loved , to play golf and they loved to argue about what the role of a leader in the democracy was. is it to lead and not worry about the electorates? like churchill who said he said we have to rearm and i don't care if the british are tired of war. the germans are rearming

johnson -- had andrew jackson's portrait in the oval office.resident biden against the jacksonian tendencies. emily: he is trying to overcome what we have seen from local leaders saying we are going to ban masked mandates. at this point, it is messaging which is why you keep seeing dr. fauci on these sunday shows and other white house officials coming out to talk about the virus, about covid-19 and the white house response from what they would like to see. if you listen to them, a lot of what they do is try to make the are given for why people should be getting vaccinated, why we need to be wearing masks again. it is really a messaging war at this point that the white house is playing. lisa: meanwhile, the cdc taking the lead on the eviction moratorium in certain places for health reasons, targeting certain areas that have been more hard hit by the pandemic, in particular the delta variant, in particular in the south. meanwhile, president biden giving a confusing message about his legal authority to take action. what is the path ahead for a mor

but really this took off under the tenure of john quincy add also and also andrew jackson. that's when the kitchen garden i was describing really got going. and what i find very interesting, hopefully other people will as well, i was able to track down the receipts for fruit and vegetable seeds is purchased during the lincoln administration. >> and can people eat today what american presidents and first ladies ate? >> yeah, absolutely. so it's good to have a list like that from any american president. it's great if you can have it from abraham lincoln. and you can today still purchase all manner of fruits and vegetables; cucumbers, wall streets, turn ups, lettuce -- turn nips, lettuce, cabbage, the like. and you can purchase those online through specialized seed growers. and i believe as a treat, so those attending the event in person and picking up their boxed lunches, there's going to be a seed packet of the type of seeds that would have been grown at the white house during the is 19th century. >> that's a wonderful legacy, it really is, in our backyard. i live in washing

so did andrew jackson and so did wilkinson, who was the traitor. he was on the pay roll of the spanish government unbeknownest ooze to people in the army. so, burr's logic strikes us, perhaps, assuming he did what he was alleged to have done. to have plotted the scheme to speculation from rest of the united states. but it hardly seemed a heinous crime to most of the people living in the west at the time. and i will simply add there with are plenty of people in the states of the former confederacy who think they laugs the argument on the battle field, the argument that states have a right to chart their own futures. that's what i can make of it. i can't let you get out of here without at least the possibility of buying a new book. thank you very much. you've been a wonderful audience.

andrew jackson of 1829 is when they finally established the creation outside all of the time. the congressman in their and the supreme court did not meet here, they have their own billing over on new jersey avenue. and very southeast as i pointed out. but the treaty against the war of 1812 established a commission process by which the u.s. and britain establish the negotiating over the details of the program and reparations for the destroyed property and the meetings took place in the old brick capitol here after congress had vacated it. then it was taken over and made into a boardinghouse. but other things were done here when thomas jefferson sold his library to the congress. the library was housed here until the center part of the capitol had been filled with a provided for about 6000 books trembles sketches meetings in the rotunda were first exhibited in this building. in some rooms were used for sculptures studios and particularly no that persico worked on the genius of the constitution and the pediment of the capitol building the patient of this building it can the pieces

of course, andrew jackson won the popular vote and got majority in the congress and they didn't let john quincy adams accomplish very much and so adams left office, woodiest , and theyarrested all of him le house of representatives and he had been elected senator by the state legislature in massachusetts but willing elected to the house of representatives, he was elected by the people and he always considered that to be the greatest honor he had ever received. became famous and known as old man eloquent, but he was sitting there at that seat when he had a stroke and carry intoed the speaker's office where he died, members of congress with proper attire in his desk at the speaker's office. he was plan to go giver a speech. they were giving him medals to the general in the mexican war. he thought that was the most unrighteous war and nobody should get a medal for serving in an unrighteous war. his ghost is still trying to give the speech in statuary hall. i like to go to house receptions. i like to walk to the capitol in the dark and commune with the spirits and i have seen john quincy ada

andrew jackson in 1825 as many finally establishes the creation of being outside all the time. congress met in their, the supreme court did not meet here. have your own building on new jersey avenue and south at west or southeast as i pointed out. established a commission process by which will negotiate over the details to destroy property and that meetings took place in the old brick capitol after congress had vacated it then it was taken over and made into a boardinghouse. but other things were done here when thomas jefferson sold his library to the congress. the library was housed here until the center part of the capitol could be built where they could provide for the 6000 books are first exhibited in this building some rooms were used for sculpture studios. i'm particularly we know he worked on the genius of the constitution at the front and center pediment of the capitol building in the basement of this building. pieces of the statue of freedom were stored there for a year end a half between the time they arrived in washington and when the dome was ready to be put up ther

and americans do read their bible and even someone like andy jackson i have good words about andrew jacksones about the indivisible union and standing on his shoulders to resist succession but jackson is that he goes to churchch every sunday and listens to people preach in the pulpit it is a bible reading, bible discussing culture someone like jonathan edwards publishes a sermon so even in 1760 remarkable literacy rates by 1790 america has more newspapers and readers per capita than any country in the world including britain. certain technological developments will facilitate that so when you have the air he can now now you can go all the way around america just like you to go all the way around britain from chicago, across the great lakes, buffalo, erie canal, hudson and new york the coast to new orleans and of the mississippi to chicago. so now letters can travel faster, ships can travel faster of course you get railroads by the end i of my time period. it is a remarkable letter writing. he is a postmaster. all of these guys are newspaper guys five of them are newspaper scribblers in the

. >> host: were you asked to write and andrew jackson biography by the american president series? guess why was asked. arthur schlessinger jr. who wrote the papers of thomas jefferson and i knew him from that and the other editor had been the editor of the book i did with vernon jordan. both of them i knew and liked and it was only 4000 words and i said sure. it's not something i would ever had out of the blue thought of doing. looking into itt i realized even though johnson is not a terribly pleasant person which could be a partisan situation but the guys is if you want to spen time with someone and writing about them. he was present during a pivotal moment and he made fateful decisions that put in place other fateful decisions. he is not attractive as a man and as a character but the role that heth played as president is pivotal in people should know about him because of that. >> host: the only southern senator not to leave the senate. >> host: exactly and that's why lincoln traded in his original bases because it was h symbolic. link and wanted to send a message see, we can get

americans to read their bible some as late as andy jackson and i have good words to say about andrew jackson indivisible union and lincoln was going to stand on jackson's shoulders and resisting the session. andy jackson self taught. how is he self-taught? he goes to church every sunday and listens to people preach from the gospel, from the bible. it is a bible reading, bible discussing culture. very famously someone like jonathan edwards publishes at the hands of an angry god. even 1760 remarkable literacy rates. by 1790, america has more newspapers and newspaper readers per capita than any country in the world including britain. and certain technological development's are going to facilitate that. when you get for example the erie canal you can actually now go all the way around america. just like you can go all the way around britain. you can go from chicago, across the great lakes to buffalo, cross the erie canal to albany to hudson, new york, all around the florida coast all the way over too new orleans, up the mississippi to chicago. letters can travel faster. ships can travel faster.

they were wrong as the debt was entirely paid within andrew jackson's presidency. there's no way someone could know that in a 17 '90s. he wanted repayment flexibility. he wanted them to repay obligations come it was best able to do that. the opportunity cost the national debt, he argued, were low because federal gaunds were used to classify bank loads. rin fact,term changed every year'. andfl thousands of transactions. they did not crowd out private investment to a considerable degree and served a unique role in the portfolios of banks and other businesses as second retvrs or that could pay interest and could be quickly turned into kwhags needed. frrbls and state funds were used to fill the same roles. they never did quite so well as the deferred sixs and threes had. the letter explained the debt, quote, will be powerful cement of our union, end quote. by that, hamilton meant one of the debt blessings would be political rather than economic. by making the federal government the creditor of people throughout the nation t would create sentiment as bond holders protec

it was closed probably in response to andrew jackson's having shown up drunk to his inauguration in 1865, as vice president. and so, now, as far as i can tell, he got drunk in one of his colleague's office, not the restaurant. nonetheless, it was decided the restaurants were a problem and they were closed. which i found interesting. unfortunately, all the stories told about it are retrospelktive. so i found very little further information and i haven't been able to find the actual location of it. i think by looking at old floor plans i can tell where it would be but i've never had the opportunity to go see what that room is currently used for, if anything. so, so ellis, as i mentioned, came through and sort of observed and went about his business. but another great source are combination memoirs and guide books. and one of these was written by this woman, mary. she's listed as mary clemerik aims . she was a young, bright woman, had a nack for writing and hoar parents were worried she wasn't going to do what she was told. so, they married her off to this guy, aims. she managed to divorce

of what we are just going to steal a third of mexico and hopefully join the united states with andrew jackson would love to have us. and so that is the politics that were going on. it was a coat option of this idea that we're fighting for federalism. it was really a fight for permission. >> and greatly propaganda really start there and continues going on 200 years. the dastardly santa and the their fighting for their freedom, they had their freedom they had more freedom and mexico was 30 years of research has shown. this was not a white community and mexico that was being beaten down or anything. they had gotten everything they wanted and more. and in the end what they wanted was to have their own militant slave nation which is what they got for ten years. >> let's talk a little bit about some of that propaganda and how early on it started. hope might be, i don't know if there was one person, who was most responsible for what a lot of people imagine the alamo to be. it starts as soon as the accounts we got from susan dickinson i'm blinken on a first name coming out in her having an evolving a

in 1828, in the successful candidate, andrew jackson, they found somebody who wanted to get rid of the native americans any way he could. this is john ross, one of the cherokee chiefs. if any community of native americans had lived up to the hopes of the federal government, it was clearly the cherokee. they learned how to read. one of the missionaries created a vocabulary to enable them to write down the cherokee language. many had become christians. many of them now wore american dress. this was a highly integrated community. nevertheless, we have to get rid of them. congress passed the indian removal act in 1830 signed by president jackson saying that the so-called five civilized tribes -- this is president jackson. he said, the five civilized tribes should move from their current lands out on to a place that was called indian territory. the idea was that there would be a forcible resettlement of population on the other side of the mississippi river. this is now oklahoma. it was then called indian territory. the georgia state government passed a law specifying the lands up in this no

there is simply wrong about that, as the national debt was entirely repay during andrew jackson's presidency. there was no way that hamilton or anyone else could know that in the 17 nineties, but clearly, what hamilton wanted was repayment flexibility. he wanted the government to repay its obligations when it was best able to do so. not according to some rigid schedule that might coincide with a war. where natural disaster, or an opportunity to buy additional territories. the opportunity cost to the debt was a low, according to hamilton, because it's broadens did not lay idle like so many full body gold and silver coins did in cumbersome chests. rather, federal bonds were used as bank loans, and to make large payments. indeed, millions of dollars changed hands each year at a time when 1 million dollars was, you know, 1 million dollars. thousands of separate transactions, hamilton's bonds were in other words money instruments that did not crowd out public investment for considerable -- and it served a unique role in the portfolios of banks, and other businesses as secondary reserves. or reser

this san jose the big cheese that was given to andrew jackson. there is something of a tradition of giving presidents a cheese they can host with. this is a big cheese that was presented to jackson in 1835. it was there for people to munch on for a couple of years. it looks ridiculous, i think. but this cheese is in fact, at least to federalist thinking, really a symbol of jeffersonianism. it's gouache. it's impractical. the idea is driven by folly. and it is the case where the idea or the ideology doesn't always play out as planned in the reality. and it doesn't help at all that the cheese was present booed at this leader of the baptist community in chest sure. he writes, last sunday 3 january, leland the cheese amonger of poor, illiterate clownish who was the creator of this was introduced to both houses of congress and a great deal of gentlemen and ladies from i know not wear. he made such a performance i have never heard before and hope never shall again. such a sounds was never heard by any decent auditory before. shame or horror appeared in

i was in the marines and in the andrew jackson brigade and you cannot count out the united states.ost: thank you for your service. fred kempe, your thoughts? guest: i think it was winston churchill -- who said we will do what is right after exhausting all the possibilities. we have incredible stored up potential and capability. our allies will want to rely on us because they must, but also because they want to part of the reason we were a global leader and followed by other countries is we were viewed as leading in a common interest in a group of like-minded countries. that is really what we need to get back to again and that is going to be really important right now, because for better or worse we are in a situation where our allies feel they were not consulted over afghanistan. they believe they are not being consulted close enough on china. if we really want to be global leaders going forward, we have to work with allies early on to frame policy as a country that has learned that the future can only be shaped by a coalition of allies. we talk about how our allies are our greates

they were simply wrong about that as the national debt was entirely repaid during andrew jackson's presidency. there was no way that hamilton could know that in the 1790s. but clearly what hamilton wanted was repayment flexibility, he wanted the government to repay its obligations when it was best able to do so, not according to some rigid schedule that might coincide with a war, a natural disaster, or an opportunity to buy additional territory. the cost of the national debt was low because the bonds did not lay idle. they did not stay in vaults and chest like coins. indeed, millions of dollars changed hands each year at a time when $1 million was $1 million. in thousands of separate transactions, his bonds were near money instruments that did not crowd out private investment and served a unique the role in the portfolio of banks. the interest could be turned into cash when needed. after federal bonds had been extinguished in the 1830s, state bonds will fill the same roles. but they never did quite as well as these. the next line in hamilton's letter on the national debt explained the debt wo
