. >> that's when he sees calhoun behind all of this. >> bringing this back to niece donelson because you said she was malleable but also told us he could not abide by close people, especially family members, who disagreed with him. what happened between the two? >> she was so influenced by the ladies that she joined in the -- really, the ostracism of margaret eaton and he demanded -- and she did receive her at the white house, but he demanded that she treat her as a and she would not and so he sent her home. >> next is a question from john in annandale, virginia. hi, john. caller: hi, great series, as always. i'm wondering how andrew jackson's personality or approach was affected by him becoming a widower, if at all. i know wilson, for example, quickly remarried, which wasn't the case here. but was there any noticeable change in him? >> he was devastated. >> yes. he was not just devastated, though. he was embittered. his whole first term really didn't accomplish anything because he was either in mourning or he was attempting to help peggy eaton out, he was fighting with his favorite

calhoun of north carolina. john c. calhoun said the north is constantly harrison. they don't understand what the situation is, and, therefore, the southern states need to come together and decide on a course of action. so the situation existed, and henry clay worked for weeks. it's not easy to find a solution. look, for example, on the relation between israel and palestine. do you think it can ever be resolved? it's one of those issues that seems impossible to end. clay said, "slavery in our time will never be ended." he had a recommendation of how he would go about it. he said, pick a date, doesn't matter what date it is, but pick one. let's say 1860 or 1850 # or 1855. anybody born after that date will automatically become free on reaching the age of 21. those born before that date will remain slaves until they die. this would be a slow, gradual elimination, and he didn't want the slaves, freed slaves, to remain in this country. he suggested that they be sent back to liberia where many of them did return, and the state today has people whose napes are washington,

the pork man was in bad shape and the mississippi resolution had been inspired with john calhoun of south carolina that said the north is constantly harassing us. they don't understand what the situation is. there for the seven states need to come together to decide on a course of action. and so the situation existed and henry clay for weeks weeks, it's not easy to find a solution. look, for example, with the relation between israel and palestine. do you think it can ever be resolved? it is one of those issues that seems impossible. claes said slavery in our time will never be ended. he had a recommendation of how he would go about it. he said ticket date, it does not matter may be 1860 or 1855 anybody born after that date we will automatically become free on reaching the age of 21. those born before the date will remain a slave until they die. this would be as low, a gradual, even nation. he did not want the slaves slaves, the freed slaves to remain in this country. he suggested they be sent back to liberia and many did return and today they have people seems to our washington because cl

calhoun, a kinsman of my mother's, from carolina and able to sway john c. calhoun to vote for the annexation of texas and she worked on him but don't know if she was successful or not but she took henry clay out to dinner. this is a woman without a chap rhone, a president's wife, alone having dinner with him and she didn't mind at all. she wrote her mother a letter, which i think is priceless. she says, mother, mr. clay was a little insulting. when i told him that my husband wanted him to vote for the annexation of texas, he said to me, i am right, texas should not be annexed to the union, and mrs. tyler, i want you to know that i would rather be right then be president. and i replied, my dear sir, my husband is both. i truly think that the reply is almost better then the statement from clay which we hear so frequently. >> how significant was julia tyler's role in the ultimate decision to annex texas? >> well, she's keeping tabs of where people stand because she's going to congress. she's listening to the debates. she's trying to twist the arms. i don't thi

calhoun, a great defender of slavery, believed the mexican war was a huge mistake because calhoun predicted correctly that once you had the mexican war, you would open up again the question of slavery in the territories and that would cause a catastrophe, which it does. >> zachary taylor, old rough and ready. he was the last southerner elected for 64 years until wilson and the last president to hold slaves while in office in the white house but his partner in all of this was margaret, known as peggy taylor. what do we know about her? >> she was not particularly keen on being first lady. she had gone around to all of his postings with him. they had innumerable children. it's interesting that their daughter, knox, married the young jefferson davis, who fought with taylor in mexico and unfortunately their daughter died after only three months of marriage but later when they were in the white house the taylors became quite close with jefferson davis and his second wife, varina, and varina was close to the first lady. the first lady let her daughter do a lot of the entertaining and it was such a

calhoun nullification and enter position. no state law can invalidate a federalaw. federal law trumps state law in this area. as a matter of policy, you may not run around and enforce it vigorously in states like colorado, but you cannot invalidate a law with a state -- >> what do you think should be -- should it be the law of the land on marijuana? >> john, we had a civil war over this issue whether the states had their right to interpose their own laws and beliefs against the federal government. >> i am talking about the danger of marijuana being an escalated drug, if that's what the real danger of it is? >> there are things called prosectorial discretion. the administration is not going to aggressively pursue these cases. we learned in california you can't get injuries who are going to convict people for recreational use. you have people who smoked marijuana in the 1960s and 1970s, older people today, and never you have younger people, libertarians. we are reaching a tipping point on this issue. the notion that it's criminalized is nonsense to most people. >> the

>> thank you. >> she certainly would have been very comfortable with calhoun. not so much clay. even though tyler had supported clay at one point. but as tyler became more separated from the wig party then she was going in that direction as well. webster, i'm not so sure but certainly calhoun would have been the person that she would have been closest to in terms of politically. >> at least webster had stuck in tyler's cabinet longer then any of the other original members of the harrison cabinet. but i think you're absolutely right. it does come down to where were they in terms of john tyler's politics as to exactly how she felt about them. >> this is margaret watching us from ft. river, new jersey. hello, you're on the air. >> hello. i'm enjoying this very much. i was wondering what president tyler died from? i read that he was elected a virginia representative to the confederate congress and that when he was attending the session, he died just a few minutes after midnight in 1862 and he was 71 years old. also, how old was he when he>> all right. that's a question mr. stoermer,

so -- >> in the days that follow, a calhoun county sheriff's investigation reveals the driver was carryinghandgun and had talked about committing suicide the night of the traffic stop. >> people that knew that this guy was a threat to himself or others, they knew that if he got a traffic stop, he got pulled over, he was either going to kill them or kill himself. >> these details helped deputy rivera see that even though the stop did not go as he hoped, he did everything in his power that night to save a man's life. >> i wish i could have gotten him to stop, get him to put the gun down. you try to do your best to help people. sometimes you can't help everybody. >>> coming up -- >> drop the gun! >> it's open season on police as a gunman shoots to kill. >> i made up my mind i'm most likely going to get shot. i had enough of feeling embarrassed about my skin.

calhoun . or to even understand them or even harder for me of a group of other politicians called the bill faces. >> the doe face. >> there were people like james you can, the only president from my state of pennsylvania, i said to say, who utterly -- northerners to utterly sympathize with the south. north as you thought slavery was okay or maybe even good. it was really hard to get into the minds of those people. but we live in a time now when certain things are completely unacceptable and people did not feel that way about and then. so there is -- it is hard to do, but is ultimately necessary to try and take people on their own terms. that said, you know, i don't know they necessarily have to present a story completely evenly. i think you can craft a narrative so that your political views are apparent to the reader. i think trying to obscure your political views is not necessarily the most ethical thing to do necessarily. so, yeah, it's a tough question. the case of the u.s.-mexico war presid

. >> to add to that point, i talked to a gentleman david calhoun who came in from atlanta, georgia.was at the top of heart break hill, which is right around the 20-mile mark. that's the foint where if you are going to finish the race you clear that hill and you are home free. that's where he was. he had to stop and tape his angle. he was in his 50s. but that's where he was during the race. he felt so badly not just for the runner or the boston. the news that quickly spread through the this city. for all these runners who were stalemate along the route and told to stop because this race was over. >> bill: i will let you go, hemmer. thanks for helping us out. we have a couple of other people who were on the scene george so he so he scovi. a reporter running in the marathon and sought explosions. chris, let's start with you. just describe for the folks watching around the world what you saw and what happened to you. >> sure. i had just passed the 26-mile marker. .2 miles left. i hearded of what sounded like cannon fire and saw gray and white smoke around the finish line. i thought it w

it along the way we met wounded warriors in colorado that heard about us, calhoun and ryan kelly, ones a bartender doing something called soldier ride. one thing led to another. they said, "we want to ride across the country with you next year." we said, "this was a one-time thing." how could you say no to these guys? we set up a relay with them and chris and other wounded warriors. it's become a great rebtative program. >> what appeals to wounded warriors about this particular ride? >> well, basically we originally started modeling trips after what we would do on vacation and add the bicycle riding. of course as we've known as an organization with the help and things to keep in mind, you know, it's just a fun trip. everybody gets to bond. and you -- you're able to do rehabilitative exercising without being in the hospital on a treadmill, for instance, on a standup cycle. you can go out and whatever it is we need, we have the adaptive equipment to fit that. spinal injury, you're on a trache. we have adaptive equipment, balance issues, anything we can overcome. >> and you were telling

friend who ran the marathon on monday is sending positive thoughts from the pavement around lake calhouns a lifestyle. no matter who tries to hurt us. >> because hopefully the hurt will be temporary overshadowed by the resilience of runners everywhere. >> if you want to know who we are, what america is, how we respond to evil, that's it, selflessly, compassionately, unafraid. >> very nice to the people in minnesota. fox minneapolis knsp report opening that story out of the twin cities. heather. heather: bill, coming up investigators, they are piecing together remnants of the bombs, and ha they find from shrapnel -- what they find from shrapnel to wires could be the key to cracking the case. a former tech with the nypd bomb squad explains what the pieces tell us. . .. nexium, the purple pill, helps provide many with day and night relief of heartburn symptoms caused by acid reflux disea.. there is risk of bone fracture, and low magnesium levels. side effects may include headache, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. call your dooror right away if you have persistent diarrhea. other serious stomhh

you had henry clay and calhoun and jackson. jackson won the popular voted, but he did not win the electoral college. goinghe politicking was on in the house of representatives, there was an opportunity to make deals. one of the deals that was made was that henry clay would the vice president and items with win the election. once we come out of that election, the buildup to the other election is that that was a corrupt bargain. >> you described 1824 setting the stage for 1828. the 1828 campaign was older enmity fought together again. how did it play out? >> in 1824, jackson was not quite sure he was ready to be president. when he won the vote and it was stolen from him, he knew he was meant to be president. he thought the election had stolen the people's presidency. when he came out in 1828, he came out fighting. >> what was interesting about the campaign was that it was a precursor to modern campaigning. he and his surrogates for out on the stump. as many as 800,000 more americans voted in that election as they had in the previ

calhoun. on march 28, robert rimney died in a suburban chicago hospital from complications of a recent stroke at the age much 91. i hope his wish comes true. i hope right now he is listening in awe somewhere in heaven as the great issues are debated in the great beyond. robert rimney led a good and full life. he spent most of his career at the university of illinois in chicago. he founded the university's respected institute for the humanities. he produced a remarkable body of work that brought important chapters of history to american life. in 2002, at the age of 80, professor rimney became a distinguished visiting scholar of american history at the library of congress. at the request of the librarian of congress james billington, professor rimney spent the next three years writing the history of the u.s. house of representatives. that's where i met him. what a man. a great historian, a great personality, with a smile on his face every minute of the day. professor rimney was once asked how he

calhoun. or to understand them and even harder for me are the group of northern politicians called the dough faces. >> is hard to identify with the dough faces. >> the dough faces were people like james buchanan the only president from my state and sad to say. there were northerners who sympathized with the south bend bargainers who thought slavery was okay and maybe even good. it's hard to get into the minds of those people that we live in a time now when certain things or people completely unacceptable and people didn't feel that way about them then. it's hard to do but it's ultimately necessary to take people on their own terms. that said, you know it's, i don't necessarily know you have to present a story completely evenly. you can craft a narrative so that your political views are apparent to the reader. your political view is not the most ethical thing to do necessarily. so you can it's a tough question. the case of the u.s.-mexico water president james calhoun is the difficult person to
