you had henry clay and calhoun and jackson. jackson won the popular voted, but he did not win the electoral college. when the politicking was going 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 become 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 ha

beene certainly would have very comfortable with calhoun. not so much clay.yler had supported clay at one point. as tyler became more eparated from the whig party, then she would have gone in that direction as well. sure.r -- i'm not so but certainly calhoun would have been the person that she would have been closest to in terms of politically. > webster had stuck in the cabinet longer than any of the original members of the harrison cabinet. you're right. comes down to where really were they in terms of john tyler's politics asking exactly she felt about it. >> margaret watching in ft. river, new jersey. you're on the air. i'm enjoying this very much. i was wonder what tyler died from. he was elected junior confederate e to a congress. he died a few minutes after idnight in 1862 and he was 71 years old. also, how old was he when he fathered his last child. know theese things you answer to? >> he was 71. he was never sworn in as a confederate congress. it was just about to be. richmond for that session. since it was early in '62. -- he from what we know, he a

[laughter] well, calhoun was his own vice president, so you can see how things -- [laughter] regardless, we promise you both a fun and entertaining and educational time, and we look forward to seeing you next july in nashville. thanks. [applause] >> did you say bourbon and m and ms? [laughter] at each summer meeting, we take a moment to recognize our corporate fellows. all the governors know that we have a wonderful relationship with our, the fellows, and we very much are appreciative of their commitment to nga and their commitment to working with all of us. and as many of you know, this program really facilitates the exchange of ideas, in ways the corporate fellows are the thought partners with us in terms of improving public policy. and we want to take this opportunity to recognize a few of them. and i'm going to ask governor fallin to join me up here. governor fallin is the chair of the nga center for best practices, and she's going to help me recognize some of our longstanding companies. this marks the 25th anniversary of the corporate fellows program. back then there were about a d

from the negotiating table that they have one through mass action mass insistence on mobilization in calhoun knows nation of international public opinion so for extract concessions. right i mean so how can we expect it to be moderated fairly at all especially given that israel the us its closest ally and receive three billion dollars of aid every year i mean really it is anything any done that it is beyond just superficial here. because they were forced to be a basic big. time obama will call them powerless then you know. if you don't come negotiate and your bills and the absence of those subsidies cost in authority knew there would be liable to being overthrown because that lives by the violence for her to the monies who. the public sector in a powerless. time and so. because they were ordered to go there the more interesting question and i don't mean it's the sea she sleep is exactly what are they going to talk about because the cost of the eggs no exactly with. the counsellor are the palestinians know perfectly well what israel's bottom line as you pointed out there in the gosh asians neg

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

>> 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 fathered his last child? >> all right. that'

. >> soon the detective was joined in his work by commander alfred calhoun, known as something of a closer. vy stepped out of the room while the commander worked on barry. >> alfred stepped out of the interview, said he wants to talk to you. when i walked in the room, barry was crying, and he admitted to killing kimberly nees. >> the mystery was solved. all the rumors about other suspects, including that group of girls, long whispered of in connection with the crime, were apparently wrong. vy allowed barry to call his mother back in montana. >> i said barry, why did you confess to something you didn't do? and he said well, they're going to come back to montana and help me prove i didn't do this. >> but in montana, helping barry beach was not on the menu. first degree murder was. barry pleaded not guilty, but when his trial began at the courthouse in glasgow, montana, the prosecutor came on very strong. >> i had a detailed confession that only the killer could have given. >> within a decade, mark roscoe would be elected montana's governor. in 1984, though, he prosecuted barry beach. >> he g

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

. >> this sort of john calhoun image, where you have this notion that political minorities don't have to respect the will of the majority. the idea of nullification, sore of interposition coming back to the republican party and to their language, the new head of the nra talking about the war of northern aggression, the celebration around this southern confederate. >> or rand paul's adviser wearing a confederate mask and how john wilkes booth had his heart in the right place. to sort of pivot for a second race is very much in the ether, and we are recognizing it in a more public way, but the president is tackling it in a more meaningful way. and writer started tackling this in the last segment, but everything from eric holder to the mandatory minimum sentencing and trying to strike that down at the federal level, to the president's address and remarks a ad hoc as they were. i think he's owning that in a way he didn't in the first fiduciary. >> there's another possibility here, thoughings that i think is important that lingers. >> and that's the question is what if this country is more

the women would not notably john calhoun's huffy wife and would not accept her. she had authority. her political position was -- the women wouldn't call on her receive her. it became an ugly thing. jackson apeers to have paralleled this with his wife's treatment. not treated was like that in washington. peggy was not a very nice person. curator at the herm taj outside of nashville. is a letter that jackson wrote on the day that rachel 22, lly died, december 1828. he's writing to his friend, richard keith call. the letter, he describes the on set of rachael's illness, her illness. and he says that she was a few suddenly violently attacked with pains in her left breast and such was the contraction of the breast was suffocation apprehended -- i mean, it was serious was in very condition. but he talks about getting ready to go to washington like he's better and 'll get off we'll go. but she did pass away later in the day. history -- especially in the first half of the series, -- an enormous of health problems. did anyone escape? tough as a o be a boot to make it in those days. you coul

seem to section off the vote and try to make it more difficult for these people to vote is this john calhounpirit running through the republican party which says that we can pass on popular legislation and we can make it impossible for a true ma junior the jort to oppose us because we'll make it hard for you to vote us out. at the same time that mccrory is signing this law, which by the way gets rid of a civics class. it gets rid of a civics class. >> young people engaging them in the process and says. >> we don't want them to know voting is a good idea. this notion what they can do is pass laws and section it off so that i an certain class of voter based on age, based on demographics, it's easier for them to vote because you vote for my party. there's something anti-democratic fundamentally about that. >> mr. agnew, that sounds worse than anti-democratic to me. that sounds criminal. >>. >> did doit does. a lot of unchecked criminal activity from a lot of our governments and i think this is a clear indication after the supreme court ruling left the door open for many states to move forward w

somewhere the ghost of john calhoun is smiling.erished view of people who don't like the balance that was set in marbury versus madison that was set after the civil war. but there you have it. the states come behind the federal government on laws of this nature. >> well, let's talk about the history yesterday, ron. and you can do this as well. yesterday everyone paid tribute, everybody was there. the democrats, at least and the independents, and hollywood paid tribute to dr. martin luther king and his great speech of course included a reference to lips dripping with interposition and nullification. and here we have it in real life terms in 2013, 50 years after the speech, 150 years after the emancipation proclamation. here we have a state in missouri which is a border state saying to hell with washington. nullify it. >> yeah, it's amazing that we sometimes seem to still be fighting the civil war, still be fighting and slogging through the civil rights era. if you look at the states, many of them that are involved in these kind of n

pat calhoun is joining the conversation of mcafee, his company is in the business of cyber security.- can we protect ourselves? >> yeah, absolutely, we can protect ourselves. in this particular case, this was a flaw they found in the system. but what i'm seeing constantly is enterprises are really using this as an opportunity to understand what else they can do to provide a better secure environment for the data they have. so i think this is an isolated incident. obviously, there are vulnerabilities, people will take advantage of them. this is a wake-up call, a wake-up call for people to take this seriously and focus on making sure that they are secure. >> but i guess -- i guess the bigger question is, we see it all the time, and we hear it every day in terms of hacking into people's profiles. can someone go on facebook and pretend to be someone else and cause real damage? today? >> sure. >> well, in it -- >> how do you protect yourself from that? is there any way of truly protecting yourself from that or not? >> yeah, i -- >> there's absolutely no such thing as total security. i mea

calhoun is probably roaming the studios right now. guest: the federal official would try to enforce the law, presumably the state would try to stop them. and then it would be very easy for the federal government to get a court order to say that the state can't do that. when you are talking about things like whether or not a state is going to participate in forcing marijuana laws, then it's really a matter of moral situation -- suasion. i don't see we are seeing a roll back in the states on marijuana policy or other criminal justice policy because of broader philosophies how big or small our government should be. i think it's because the forces who want us to liberalize the marijuana laws are winning the debate. so some of the states are doing it first. washington, colorado. are on the vanguard. i think that's because they are the first in the line of many states and eventually the federal government will move in that direction, because that's where the american people are. i don't think it's because of any sort of broad theory about w

henry clay and calhoun and others were giving their famous speeches of the day. 14 members of the house of representatives, and the last four or the speaker of the house. and he was the only speaker at that time to become president. it brings a whole new social status to washington, d.c., and sarah played one of the hostesses in washington. typically, congress would act -- enact a memorial officially thanking him for his service. the congress was so widely divided when he left the that they refuse to do that, but it is interesting. a number of politicians wrote poems in honor of sarah at the time that she left. supreme court justice joseph story road a palm mourning the loss of her in washington this society. >> how sarah looked was important to her from the standpoint of how she was perceived by the public. she also saw it as a reflection on the presidency itself. she was known for having beautiful dresses and looking incredible in a white house that was also a beautiful. the dress was purchased in texas and warned by her in the late administration. it was the dress costume of a first

calhoun was his own vice president. regardless, we promise you an entertaining and educational time and we look forward to seeing you next july and national -- in nashville. [applause] >> all of the fellows know we as a wonderful relationship with our fellows and we are very much appreciative of their commitments to a nga and working with all of us. as many of you know, this program really facilitates the exchange of ideas. in many ways they are partners with us in terms of improving public policy and we want to take this opportunity to recognize a few of them. i'm going to ask the governor to join me up here. governor fallin is the chair of the center for best practices and she is going to help me recognize some of our long standing companies. this year marks the 25th anniversary of the corporate fellows program. the first one back in 1988. back then there were a dozen companies and today there are more than 100. one of them has been a member since the very beginning and today we recognize a member of the nga corporate

the most famous example was john calhoun who led an effort in south carolina to try to nullify a tarifft was viewed as good in the north and that's a good for farmers in the south. that almost sparked a civil war before south carolina back down. there were notification efforts were states tried to prevent the government from enforcing civil rights or enforcing supreme court decisions that insisted upon equal treatment of the races. this is something that comes up every now and then. normally it is led by politically loses. most of the time your recourse is to try to be a political winner. if you do not like what the government is doing, your recourse is to vote for someone who will do something else. guest: that is in the short- term. the constitutional balance has gone unbalanced. that is why you see court challenges including in this area in the 1980's and the 1990's, the case that established that the government cannot force state officials to do their bidding to enforce their regulations. process.ong-term constitutional rebalance in the long-term. the catoa shapiro at institute educ

. >> recently michigan republican congressman justin amash held a town hall meeting at the calhoun in michigan. he serves in the congressional district of the state that includes the city of grand rapids. he talked with voters about president obama's healthcare law, immigration reform, voting walls and the national security agency data collection program. in july, congressman amash tried unsuccessfully to amend the bill barring the nsa from using funds to collect the data records from citizens on the subject and investigation. >> she's my chief of staff. he doesn't just work for me. if you have questions or concerns here in the district you can always reach ben. he is primarily in my grand rapids office. you can find that on my website, amash.house.gov. we have a satellite office in battle creek so if there's something you would like to schedule, an appointment you'd like to schedule if you contact the grand rapids office we can make sure we have someone here to meet with you as well in calhoun county. my district director is jordan bush. he is also a valuable resource. if you want to
