henry clay believed in what he called the american system.to protect american industry and finance american infrastructure. i'm honored to be here today with many of your tremendous modern-day leaders. we're joined tonight -- and i wan to you give him a nice hand because he's on our side. got to take good care of our people, right? and he's got a lot of power for the people of kentucky. by our senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell, where is he? come here, mitch. thank you, mitch. how are you doing, mitch? hey, mitch, we gonna but okay? everything good. that health care is looking good? good. thanks, mitch. and we're also very lucky to have in my cabinet our secretary of transportation, the wonderful elaine choi. working with secretary ciao, we're going to rebuild the crumbling infrastructure of the united states. it's time, right. it's time. it is time. after spending trillions and trillions of dollars overseas, it is indeed time. we are going to start taking care of our country. also with us this evening is your great governor matt bevin.

so he appointed henry clay to be secretary of state. some historians would say he had the least productive four years of any president in history. it's always arguable. but there are clearly times throughout his time as four -- throughout his four years as president when he backed bills and pushed bills that would have been good for the united states and that should have had the support of both the house and nate, when they couldn't get past simp tissue couldn't get passed simply because people thought he had bought the office with the appointment of henry clay to secretary of state. and so they went against anything and everything that john quincyda tied to support thereaer. and that may seem kind of a strange story to pull out from history, except i was reminded of it as i thought about today and i thought about some folks at even in october, they didn't care about donald trump getting elected president. they didn't really support him. at that point. so they've encouraged him, you go ahead and let's do this bill that we're bringing to

like henry clay, we want to put our own people to work. we believe in two simple rules. american, and hire american. as you folks all know, henry clay was the legendary kentucky politician who payment 8th speaker of the house in 1811. you know, they compared my campaign to jackson, president jackson, right? of 1828. can you imagine having to go back that far? they said this was even more severe. but we did a great jock together. [cheers and applause] 1828. that's a long time ago. oh, boy, and he was a good president, right? he was a good president. president was a fierce advocate for american manufacturing. he want it badly. he felt very strongly. free trade which would throw wide open our ports to foreign production without duties while theirs remained closed to us. that was his quote. he knew all the way back early 1800s. clay said that trade must be fair, equal, and reciprocal. fair, equal and reciprocal. i'm talk about reciprocal trade. reciprocal. i mentioned that the other day to a group in my office. we'll be doing some trade deals as soon as we getted the healthc

like henry clay, we want to put our own people to work.e in two simple rules, buy american and hire american. so, as you folks all know, henry clay it was a legendary kentucky politician who became the eighth speaker of the house in 1811. you know, they compared my campaign to jackson, president jackson, of 1828. i said, can you imagine having to go back that far? it may said, this was even more severe. we did a good job. did we do a great job together? 1828, that is a long time ago. oh, boy. he was a good president, right? he was a good president. clay was a fierce advocate for american manufacturing. he wanted it badly. he said very strongly, free-trade, which would throw wide open our ports to foreign production, without duties, why all the errors remained closed to us. that was his quote. he knew all the way back, early 1800s, clay said the bad trade must be fair, equal, and reciprocal. he said, fair, equal, and reciprocal. i am talking about reciprocal trade. reciprocal. i mentioned that the other day to a group of my office, we will

henry clay, a hero. he had been abandoned for clinically expedient purposes in 1848 in order to secure a whig victory. what was it about clay do you think? he references the compromise at the expense of webster, who he thinks is a greater orator and whose reply on the floor he reads over and over again in preparation for other work. let's talk about clay and why he is the ideal. >> clay is the founder of lincoln's party. in a way, he is kind of george washington of the whigs, but he is more than that. he is an extraordinary political figure who creates a new kind of politics that lincoln grows up in. in the crackup of the federalists and after the long reign of the democrats, clay is central to democratizing what was left of many of the federalists. but also drawing in new elements. he has a more modern hamiltonian vision of the economy, the american system. building up using the federal government to build infrastructure, canals, roads. and he is rhetorically anti-slavery, although he is a slaveholder an

henry clay, secretary of state defeated john quincy adams called jackson's victory mortifying and sickening does this sound familiar. jesse: that was president trump drawing comparisons to president jackson. another president who elicits trump comparison is reagan. welcome to the "watters world" game show. the reagan years. are you nervous? >> no. jesse: you should be. question one. ronald reagan said this. >> mr. gorbachev tear down this wall. >> where did he say it? >> berlin. jesse: be more specific. >> i don't know. jesse: brandenburg gate. who did ronald reagan say this to at a debate. >> there you go again. >> jimmy. jesse: jimmy -- time is up. >> jimmy carter. jesse: ronald reagan at a debate said this to you. >> i will not make age an issue of this campaign. i'm not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience. jesse: no one knows it, it was walter mondale. ronald reagan was an actor. he famously acted in a movie with a monkey. what was the name of the monkey? time is up. bonzo was the name of the monkey. how many children did ronald and nancy reagan

he will go so far to say in his eulogy for henry clay, that clay loved his country partly because it was his country, but also because his country had shown how freemen could be prosperous. nationalist, but not a romantic nationalist as a so much of the 19th century was. he did not believe there was a mystical elements of race or blood or linguist or ethnicity that governed peoples behavior, rather what motivated everybody was the position of his natural rights. and the american experiment, by founding all of his political life on the equality of natural rights, had done something which was not just american but was natural to all human beings. so in that respect, he is a nationalist who loves his country, but he is also somebody that believes that there are foundational characteristics of human nature, which is the american experiment in particular has captured. >> thank you. >> i have one thing to add to that. >> go ahead. >> i cannot resist saying the alan quotes is a terrific statement. and i believe it isn't, i believe it is sincere in respect his views. it is the first speech i

you can go back to daniel webster making hun of henry clay.self-ima self-image. it just kind of raises the question why resurrect this at this point? there are points on either side. yesterday on cnn, the republican representative, i'm not looking to the house for answers here. i'm looking to the senate. the fact is the house intelligence committee has been somewhat of an island in that rising tied of partisanship and more parliamentary style and the house has been submerged in over the last 25 years and last week we saw the water line go over that levy as well. >> one of the questions has been is the reason democrats think devin nunes has a bias and he went on the old executive office on the white house grounds. had some documents to look at. goes back to the white house and briefs the president. we don't know what's in the documents. we don't know what it's about except he said it has nothing to do with russia. the committee is complaining you're supposed to tell us. he didn't do any of that. the house speaker was asked this morning is that

barely settled into his washington office, which was overflowing with paperwork and his favorite henry clay cigars, to which he was addicted, when tragedy struck. a disgruntled office seeker pulled a gun and fired two shots at present garfield in union station. robert lincoln nearby went to the presence side, following the attack here in despite doctors care, on monday, september 19, the president succumbed to his wounds and dies after suffering for 80 days. over the summer of 1881, mrs. lincoln relived the horror of her own husband's death. following garfield's burial, mary found herself slipping in strength and energy. the president's shooting increase her fears, particularly for her son. and it brought mary really to the brink of despair. that is where harriet tubman had settled in canada. taking turkish and electric bouts, she spent a prolonged period in sarah's care. robert and mary during this period, paid her regular visits. mary lincoln immediately sought an increase in her own annual sum. january 1882, congress not only voted a $2000 increase, but they offered her a $15,000 retroac

i think with either andrew carnegie or henry clay.ut if i were able to inhabit each characters persona at the time i was writing about their part of the book, nobody would have been able to, i think read that book or have founded anything but propaganda. and no matter what, all of this, i have tried and done my best to become that person to get in the head of the person that i can barely fathom as they are delivering the state of the union address that say. it would behoove me as an artist to try. i am an artist. i'm not a politician and i'm not a businessman. and that's what i have to do in order to write good fiction. obviously when i write the fiction or vibrate nonfiction narrative, my politics are going to come through. my empathy's are going to come through. but i'm always trying to do e >> i would just like to say that i think one of the issues addressed was about this program tonight. and i have to say that i'm a veteran watch of booktv and watch what to do.i and i think you have been, and booktv, is exceedingly fair in terms
