the outgoing vice president fetched him a bottle of whiskey, and then andrew johnson apparently drank most of it that morning before the inauguration. some accounts from the time suggest that johnson had actually been drunk for the better part of two weeks. by the time the inauguration rolled around that morning, before he himself was due to be sworn in as the new vice president, andrew johnson gave a caterwauling, slurring, screaming speech that no one could understand. when it came time for him to put his hand on the bible and swear the oath of office. he instead grabbed the bible and swung it around over his head, and then made a big show of kissing it. he kissed the bible. it was expected that the newly inaugurated vice president would finish out the day by swearing in all the new u.s. senators. but andrew johnson was so hammered he couldn't do it. so he bailed in the middle of the inauguration, and somebody else had to take over and swear in all the senators for him. but i got to tell you, that wasn't even his worst inauguration. he had two. and that one where he was too drunk to

it goes back to the 1860s when president andrew johnson wanted to buy greenland and then again presidentssue again and as you mentioned, last term, you know, trump raised it again. now that the climate is warming, there is a lot of race to the arctic right now because it has these strategic pathways from the us in terms of all the americas. there is also a lot of natural resources, gold, copper, uranium that china, russia and the us are competing for so it is an area of strategic national interest. as the prime minister of denmark and the greenland authorities have said, it is not for sale. it is a self—governing territory. it is controlled and get economic aid by denmark but the greenland is the ones who will decide what to do and if they have said the property is not for sale. have said the property is no

that is exactly what happened when president andrew johnson, abe lincoln's ignoble successor, issueds of thousands of former confederate officials and soldiers after the civil war ended with the insurrectionists defeat in 1865. and how did that go? well, they soon took over state governments across the south, which led to a host of problems, including the violent end of reconstruction. therefore, in america, before and after the civil war, meritocracy meant that any white man was qualified for any job or opportunity, and any black person, brown person or woman was presumed not to be, even though most americans had little more than a grade school or high school education, whether they were black or white at the time, what was important was ensuring that white male workers suffered no competition. andrew johnson tried to do his part, vetoing the formation of historically black colleges since what the southern planter class wanted was field workers, not educated blacks, who might do inconvenient things like demand rights. his veto was overturned, but when it came to the pardons, johnson

andrew: speaker mike johnson said that's a possibility and also floated the idea of attaching it to ae debt ceiling, which i will plant the marker now is highly unlikely. it will not work. it will not happen. that is not a vehicle for it, in other words. i do think trump's nominee for omb director, the office that controls all the aid that goes out both domestic and foreign, he will get questions about this at his confirmation hearing on the hill this week, and i will say too that senate republicans who we talked to earlier this evening on the hill made clear that they are not really comfortable with this idea either, including and especially people like senator rick scott from florida, who deals with these national disasters on a yearly basis, senator tillis, who just pushed for a major disaster relief package for his home state of north carolina due to the the hurricanes that ravaged the western part of his state as well, so we are seeing these republicans who have traditionally supported disaster aid without conditions when and where it's needed come out and say that's not a good i

in the 1860s, the andrew johnson administration bought canada and considered buying greenland.ruman administration secretly offered denmark $100 million in gold or to swap parts of alaska. but the island's national security importance has accelerated as its ice melts, thanks to climate change. david holland, new york university: land is very valuable since they stopped making it. and so the idea that new land can appear is an enormous resource to anyone. nick: david holland is a new york university professor of environmental sciences. he's visited greenland 30 times and has dedicated his life to decoding the arctic and its long-term impact on the planet. david holland: greenland is perhaps now likely to melt significantly, if not completely, and to become an island without ice. and you scale it 1,000 years, that is a lot of change in sea level, a lot of change in the global coastline. nick: and possible change to the climate that could be so accelerated and dramatic, it inspires hollywood dystopias. david holland: when you remove a mountain, because greenland is a mountain, mor

i think i said andrew johnson, who succeeded abe lincoln.ce. president andrew jackson. >> thank you. rev. coming up on morning joe, we'll dig into donald trump's efforts to end dei programs in the federal government. plus, there's a new wrinkle in the feud between. it ends with us costars blake lively and justin baldoni. following the release of raw footage from the set of the movie. we'll have the latest gossip on that, but also the potential legal implications straight ahead. you're watching morning joe. we'll be right back. >> today. trump faced his. first setback. >> breaking news. >> out of seattle. a federal judge has just temporarily blocked president trump's order attempting to end birthright citizenship. the judge in this. case is saying that they have been on the bench. >> for over four decades. and this is a quote from the judge inside the courtroom. i can't remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one. >> this is a blatantly unconstitutional order. >> whoa whoa whoa whoa. what does the constitution.

. >> andrew johnson trying to buy alaska and end of world war ii, president truman going to buy greenland then and it's an older idea that's come around. reporter: they're drafting legislation to change the name of gulf of mexico to the gulf of america this. is important to begin funding the changing of maps for all agencies within the federal government like the faa and military. do not expect any democratic support there though. house democrats believe that we are not sent to washington to invade green land and rename the gulf of mexico and seize the panama canal by force. we were sent to washington to lower the high cost of living in the united states of america. >> president elect trump will be talking about all of this with the republicans whose votes he will need starting in 12 days. capitol hill in the next two hours, larry. larry: by the way, peter, you know, in world war ii the united states occupied green land and the gnat seizure disorderses fromming -- natzis from occupying green land and going to see it. peter doocy, west palm beach, florida. reporter: china and russian influ

so we've done this in the past, the difference, however, for all his flaws and andrew johnson was a very flawed president, andrew johnson actually opposed the confederacy, he supported the unity of the united states, which is -- that's why abraham lincoln chose him as his running mate. but today we'll likely see a president pardoning people who participated in an insurrection that he supported. that will be a first. >> did these surprise me. >> the pardons didn't surprise me. president biden might have done a trump a favor with this. not to be going after tony fauci and prosecuting four- star general. in this kind of allows him to focus on things that he's good at, what would end up being something that kind of feeds to his worst instincts. i think he'll mad about this. an awkward car ride over. changing some of the remarks he'll be giving later today. he'll address this in some form. >> what's most amazing, step back to boris' interview, on a day, we press rewind to trump's last inauguration, all the resistance and the pink hats, now it's like can pit lags and maga hats, that's an amazi

president andrew johnson pardoned the entire confederacy. first it was just former confederates who owned less than $20,000 in property. that's nearly half a million dollars today, provided that they took an oath of loyalty to the union. wealthy confederate officials had to make a direct appeal to the president. johnson personally granted all of them, more than 13,000 pardoned petitions. then finally on christmas day, december 25, 1868, johnson proclaimed the following. unconditionally and without reservation a full pardon and amnesty for the offense of treason against the united states or of adhering to their enemies during the late civil war, with restoration of all rights, privileges, and immunities under the constitution and the laws. thus, the confederates found all of their rights restored without requiring a loyalty oath. convicted felons have their right to vote and to hold office revoked, but due to johnson's unconditional pardon, these former confederates were free to remake the south in their image. they enacted laws to erase reco

but greenland, people forget, president andrew johnson tried to buy greenland when he went after alaskand of world war ii, you had president truman offer $100 million to buy greenland then. this is not a new idea but an older writer that has come around. you look at what the president is doing, he is thinking out-of-the-box and trying to engage to put the united states in a position of global leadership. when you look at it historically, a lot of things he is saying is very, very accurate historically, and it makes a lot of sense internationally to what it will look like for the future. when it comes to panama, i was a commander and invaded panama and we took the panama canal back in the late '80s. in three weeks later, we go back. we have taken it before and it has happened before. and i think his point about the chinese owning date canal is a good point because over 70% of commerce goes through the panama canal is in fact american. it is in our final national interest at that canal state sovereign. >> sandra: general, always good to have found the program. think you, sarah. >> thank y

and every president, with maybe the exception of andrew johnson, has enjoyed it. and was there a public outcry some federalists were annoyed. arch federalists were annoyed by it because they they were very loyal to timothy pickering. but there was also there had been speculation and for months and months and months that this was going to happen. so i think a lot of americans shared our sense of relief that he had finally done it. yeah, we have time for one more question. if somebody would like to. we have one of the trashed hamilton terribly much. there we go. the intended forget how small the government was in terms of cabinets, a number of people working with. the other thing that struck, as i recall, is a john adams spent a lot of time in braintree. i think given the communications sort of how how can you be president if you're not in washington. so this is a good this is a good question with the exception we're going to put 1790, 1799 aside, and i'll come back to that here in a moment. all of the other years he was gone, the exact same amount of time that wash

and the president then was andrew johnson. of course, we saw what happened in the south when he used his pardon power to help confederates come back into public office. >> larry, you've argued that the economy was the principal reason that trump won the election. are you seeing anything from his first week on the job that shows he has a plan to bring prices down, or to boost wages? >> no. >> and actually, i was in the grocery store yesterday, and i took a look at the price of a dozen eggs and it was actually up. but of course, it's the first week. so we'll we'll see what happens. uh, on tim tams discussion there, i would also say nixon would be one who would. match trump, at least to a certain degree, in the revenge category, but not this early in his term. you know, the enemies list evolved, uh, over, over a long period of time. and the the funny business with the internal revenue service checking his enemies and so on. this is really unprecedented. but then trump had four years to sit down and think about who he wanted to ge

i want to say that andrew johnson pardoned jefferson davis, who was the president of the confederacy, after after starting the civil war and the reason why he did it is because you have to put the country in a position where we're going forward, not backwards. it's the same also. >> and arthur is at the table. is there not a principle of the justice system of deterrence? and that punishments so serve both as a punishment and as a deterrence? you're probably maybe the wrong person to ask. >> no no. >> no no no no. when you go to. >> when you go to federal court and which i'll be doing on friday on a sentencing. there's like seven things that a judge has to take into account when he sentences someone or she sentences someone, and one of them is specific deterrence. whether you're going to deter that individual from committing those crimes and then general deterrence, the message that you're sending out to society that if you commit this crime, this is the punishment you're going to face. so it is a big piece of it. but the president, it's one of the few parts of government where there i

if his system had been in place, then congress could never have overridden andrew johnson's vetoes of reconstruction. we would have had the freeman freedman's bureau for longer. we would have had very different kind of situation. but i think was no coincidence. third and final achievement in his brief time at johns hopkins was to finally marry his georgia fiancee. and, you know, i think like a lot of people here i mean, you know, ellen shared, his racial views and on but it's hard not to admire her. so, you know i think he did well there. and he landed his first paying job, which is what allowed him get married. oh, she kind of holding him back until. he had a plan and she said she be patient and so on. and he was just desperate to get married. and so it happened. oh his first paying job, however, was not what he wanted because he still had only an undergraduate. and getting a teaching job typically required having a ph.d. but the new women's college and bryn mawr, oh, had a dean who decided to take a chance on him. she saw something in him and in her name was carrie thomas. she hired

but yes, the in in the book, there's lots of that he is he is does not get along with andrew johnson he's very much part of the impeachment proceedings. he's he's part of republican coalition that wants johnson out and eventually succeeds. and, you know, they don't acquit. they i mean, they don't convict him. they missed by vote. so he's impeached. but but he's kind of rendered they they override so many of his vetoes, he's almost rendered ineffective he starts off strong with grant and eventually has a huge falling out with him over set the domingo grant wants to the dominican republic grant wants to acquire it sumner does not want to acquire it so there's a formula issue there and that's in the book too. so eventually he supports horace greeley in 1872 as the republican for president and the republican party all but ostracized is sumner kicks him out of the party for his support. greeley so yeah, no, it's within the purview of the book. are you kidding? yeah, absolutely. definitely. good question. yeah so you said this is the first biography that that's been written in years. was it

and i just like to say thank you for hearing me and thank you andrew johnson. >> next speaker. >> good. my name is david dilatory with the laborers union local 261 and a san francisco native. >> i've seen the city hit great heights and crash to great lows but it's always picked itself up. dust dusted itself off and it's come out better and improved. as a union official for the laborers we represent the public the public employees that maintain our water supply, our public parks and our streets. they deal they are there on the front lines. they deal with encampments. they clean up the syringes and secretion. their job, to say the very least is hazardous and at the worst it's extremely dangerous. they deserve relief. the the the communities deserve relief and for those reasons■5 this administration should we should not tie their hands. >> we need to give them the tools to clean this this our streets up. >> and for that reason we support. thank you. thank you, daigle. our next speaker. >> good morning, supervisors. on behalf of the oversight thousand members and city and county of san fra

andrew. when we come back, johnson & johnson is out with your earnings. the stock was down.t stock again. yes, it is off by $.65. the company did beat expectations. they are warning about headwinds in the coming year, including the stronger dollar, and what that will mean for international corporations. the ceo, joseph wolk will join us for a first on cnbc interview. "squawk box" will be right back. change for 125 years, always looking forward, anticipating risks and trusted to manage over $1 trillion in assets worldwide. solving for the needs of investors today and tomorrow. that's the power of nuveen. >> brian tried. >> to stop. >> you from switching to coupa missus, sir. >> she's not. >> a friend. >> sara. >> brian. >> so i was right about coupa. >> tell me. what do you like most about their ai powered total spend management platform? >> ai that predicts. >> prescribes and automates. >> direct and. >> indirect spend management. you. >> i like how coupa helps us mind our business. >> that's interesting. >> because you. >> seem to have a hard time. >> minding your business.

andrew clyde. we know crane is going to vote for johnson. andy harris, you will have a very good sense very early on. if mike johnson has problems worth noting, even though recent history says multiple rounds of speaker fights seems like it's the norm, it's actually not. manu alluded to this earlier before kevin mccarthy back in the last congress, there had not been a multiple round speaker fight since 1923, 100 years. we'll see if we continue with what's been recent precedent or if we go back to the norm, which is one round new speaker of the house. generapr. >> all right, phil mattingly, thanks so much. and if you're looking at these images on the floor of the house and you're wondering, boy, these seem new, we don't see images like this. that's right. you don't. normally the c-span cameras are kept under very strict lock and key and controlled by the speaker as to what images they can get. usually you just see images like that one right there and a couple other close ups of people who are speaking. you don't see the candid shots of people

you saw the likes of chip roy and andrew clyde and michael cloud of texas, who had all been johnson skepticsting for, technically, former speaker mike johnson, to resume the role. johnson has a decision to make. you see him talking there but dusty johnson of south dakota. do you keep this vote open and try to whip these members, try to have conversations now, or do you try to adjourn the chamber, as kevin mccarthy did on several occasions to try to find out exactly what these folks want, and if it is something you can get to them? you see him huddling with his team. that is nancy mace in the red dress, trying to figure out the best path forward. there really can be no other business here, except, another boat on this issue or adjournment. that is the johnson -- choice johnson gets to make now. >> brendan buck is with me. >> right now, he has control of when they gavel down. >> i don't think the clerk will keep the boat open forever, but they will, certainly, show some deference. the one issue, garrett is right, either they vote or adjourn, but adjourning is not that simple. mike johnson cann

johnson. they will deliver eulogies on president carter's service to the nation and the world. the body of the 39th president arrived in d.c. earlier from georgia at joint base andrewsland from where he once flew as president on air force one. from there we saw a procession carrying mr. carter's remains to the memorial honoring his seven years of service as a naval officer. then as we mentioned, his casket arrived at the u.s. capitol a short time ago. he was greeted by a special armor guard made up of top officers of each of the u.s.' armed military services. members of mr. carter's family served as honorary pallbearers throughout his final journey to the capitol. his body will lie in state at the capitol rotunda before his funeral service at washington national cathedral thursday. all living presidents have been invited and the current president joe biden will deliver a eulogy. the carter family will then return to the hometown to bury their patriarch after a private funeral at the church where president carter taught sunday school for decades. he will then be buried afterwards in a private gravesite service visible from the front porch of his home in planes. mr. c

johnson as well. vice president kamala harris joining the service as well as carter makes his final trip to washington. >> julie, thank you so much for that. this is the scene from joint base andrewse are told the plane you see coming in is indeed special air mission 39 arriving to bring president carter's remains that will be transferred with ceremony and immediately following the motorcade will depart for the u.s. navy memorial in washington, d.c. as we watched, i want to bring in one of the last current members of congress to have served when president jimmy carter was indeed president. senator ed markey, democrat of massachusetts. thank you for being with us. as we watch the plane about to touch down, when you think of president carter tell us what you remember the most? >> i think about a man who now is viewed as a great president. the camp david accords. israel and egypt, the superfund program to clean up hazardous waste sites across the country. wind and solar as part of the energy mix to deal with pollution in the air and the greenhouse gases that are causing climate change. the work that he did to create a department of education, a department of energy. in order to look

johnson can pull this off? >> it's a it's one of the big questions, although i think it just got overshadowed by everything else that we were just talking about. my colleague andrew sjÖlander at axios, watching this like a hawk and has been watching chip roy, you know, as a texas republican congressman who is still undecided about how at least noncommittal about how he'll vote. but in the end, there's a couple of factors here that are going on. one is trump. one is that trump is behind johnson, and that if you cross trump and you're a republican, you do that at your peril. if you've just survived a primary challenge despite, you know, trump not being aligned with you, maybe you don't care, but that's not the case for the overwhelming majority of house republicans in this caucus. but the other is, in light of these these attacks, it is just ever more important. i think you're going to hear the argument for the incoming congress to be able to hit the ground running, because don't forget, this isn't just about protecting las vegas or protecting new orleans or what's going to happen at the super bowl. there is inauguration. there is both a state funeral for the late

massive bill that mike johnson is talking about doing in in april, may or june where they're going to add $10 trillion to the national debt. then when these bubbles explode, andrew i mean, look, i remember being on this broadcast with you in 2008 and we talked about too big to fail. and that was a phrase that we used in the context of banks. that's your book. and now we're talking about municipalities and cities and states and countries like our own. >> and there will be a time where you think that you would have to pay the piper. >> and the question is, just when this bill that you're referring to, maybe it should be called the maga bill, which will be everything all in. this was what was reported in axios just yesterday, which is rather than go piecemeal rather than do immigration, do taxes, do this, do that, do it all at once. >> although showing donald trump's lack of commitment to any of this, he literally just gave a radio interview with hugh hewitt saying he's fine with doing it in stages as well. so i think trump there's just now. yeah, just just now he has said that he might prefer one option, but moments later said it doesn't really matter to me how we

johnson is talking about doing in april, may, or june. they will add $10 trillion to the national debt. wendy's bubbles explode, andrews broadcast in 2008 and afraid to fail. we were talking about banks and now we are talking municipalities, cities, states, countries, like our own. there will be a time you would think you have to pay the piper. when in this bill you are referring to -- maybe it should be called the maga bill. this was reported in axios yesterday. rather than to immigration, taxes, do this and that, do it all at once. >> donald trump just gave an interview and said he's fine as well. >> just now? >> just now he said he would prefer one option but moments later said it does not really matter. we just want to get it all done, so okay, but it will be hard to wrangle those on the hill without firm leadership. >> joe, going back to the washington post piece, there were advisors talking about could you just carveout tariffs on items that are dedicated to national security? even though the president-elect is taking to truth social to say it's not true and he is thinking of across the board tariffs, do you bel

andrew. well, yeah. last night, trump pledged a new wave of tariffs on everything from chips to pharmaceuticals to steel, aluminum, copper. just hours before speaker mike johnsonis going to back the white house when it slaps tariffs on countries that aren't working with the u.s, johnson also said he expects trump to be discerning when it comes to tariffs. >> but i think he's going to be wise in how he does that. i don't i don't think you'll see across the board tariffs. and you know, whole countries or whole industries i don't believe that's what will happen. >> johnson and trump do appear to be a little less aligned when it comes to deep sea. the speaker bashed the chinese ai, calling it a serious threat to our economy and security. and trump said last night that deep sea was a wake up call to u.s. ai companies. but he took a more optimistic outlook. >> i've been. >> reading about china and. >> some of the companies in china, one in particular, coming up with a faster method of ai and much less expensive method. and that's good because you don't have to spend as much money. >> i wanted in minnesota. >> lawmakers are working today in hopes of finalizing a blue
