he held an impressive amount of titles he was really important to other presidents andrew jackson. yeah, certainly played a significant voice of reason in one of his earlier scandals when. they dominated the first two years of jackson's presidency. and so can you talk to us a bit, name these titles and what it is that you think he should be known for which i think is probably, you know, entrenching political parties, right? so maybe not a huge not a not a celebratory at a time vexing contribution to, our nation's history, but nonetheless very important. right. president elections were really volatile affairs back then as opposed to now. i know but back then the the party system was really not something organized in more coherent fashion the way we have now. in 1824 we had four candidates running for president and they all different regions and no one got a majority, had to go to the house representatives and there was a lot of negotiating going on for votes and buren thought, this is the direction nation is going in, that if we don't come up a more solidified notion of a party syste

he course was as he put it, a clay man, a follower of henry clay, who was one of andrew jackson's great nemesis clay, believed in stronger federal government and one that actually provided a number different services. he clay also believed in something the american system, which was aimed sort of improvements that would help the country. so when abraham lincoln becomes president, he's thinking a lot about clay's agenda and trying to figure out ways to unify the country, he's going to eventually authorize the transcontinental railroad railroad. they're going to be things he does that are what clay would have wanted. but lincoln is also quite aware of the debt he owes, jackson and this is something that i think is extremely important to keep in mind that what lincoln is doing in part in some presidents do this he's trying to move from being the partizan to the president, not easy move and. one of the ways he tries to do that is when he writes that first inaugural, he only asked four documents as guidelines, one of which is jackson's order against secession. the proclamation jackson makes

looking for some andrew jackson leadership level on this one. he made his decision, let let him enforce it. that is the famous dictum we can disregard the decision of the supreme court. >> thank you for that and thank you for clarifying. my position reflects a fairly mainstream view within right of center jurisprudential circles, simply to suggest various supreme court or court of appeals decisions are more limited in scope than maybe our friends who share a different jurisprudential view of supreme court holding. >> let's say there is a supreme court holding or presidential policy is invalid. president trump has said he can basically do anything if it is to save the country. that is his motivation. and that anything would include disregarding the order of the court in the judgment of the president. disregarding that order was to save the country. >> senator, first i think -- i'm not aware of any instance in which president trump genuinely stated he can do anything -- >> maybe it is a hypothetical, but i don't think -- it is a hypothetical in th

and when the courts stop, you stand before the country like andrew jackson did and say the chief justice has made his ruling. now let him enforce it. >> now let him enforce it. he says. >> right now, again, as we were talking about before this, that quote actually wasn't said by andrew jackson, but the underlying sentiment holds. it's, um, look, the reason why the country has a nonpartisan, apolitical civil service is to traverse administrations from republican to democratic. we have political leadership that runs and manages agencies and and nonpolitical folks below that. this idea that, you know, it's putting more chum in the water about this deep state concept that just, i think, corrosive to our government. and yes, he was a private citizen at that point. he was not vice president of the united states, but it was a dangerous set of comments. >> absolutely. i think that if you have donald trump and the trump administration defying the courts and pam bondi and others okay with it. >> which to be clear, we have not seen them defy. >> the supreme court yet. we have not seen that we're ta

trump harkens back to andrew jackson and the spoil system that thinks that everyone in the executive branch ought to be answering to the president but that is not the law we have in place. finally you asked about possible disruptions in the speech tonight to the democrats. i think that would be a huge gift to the president. i think that is what he hopes will happen he is very lucky with his enemies mr. trump, that is one of his great political talents. getting people to make a spectacle is just the kind of thing he can sell to his supporters as a justification of the way he is conducting himself. >> hi phillip, i appreciate the opportunity to speak to you. and i was glad to hear you mention that the law is the final authority in our country. it begs the question if the power is resting with the individuals that delegate that authority to various levels through representation, those representatives in the congress are responsible for making the laws. and the executive branch is responsible for making these laws and there are local police forces and where does the responsibility lie wh

truly, since andrew johnson, sorry, andrew jackson and why that's important is because not only is trump moving forward, he's putting his foot on the gas and accelerating. and while that is awesome for the people who voted for him, the 50% who voted for him, for those who did not, i know how frightened they are. i hear it, and it's a fear that's tinged with frustration because they hear nothing from the democratic party that gives them any pause. i want to emphasize those panels holding up in silence about cutting social security, cutting medicaid, calling trump a liar, attacking elon musk. that is not governing, that is performance art. i was angry at republicans when they interrupted joe biden's speech over the last four years, and i'm angry at democrats for doing exactly the same thing. please show some decorum, show some civility on both sides. the democrats will blame trump. the republicans will blame the democrats, both of them, for the sake of the country, need to lower that decibel level, lower the heat and work to get what they want done. because elections do have consequences,
