jackson was a fifth-generation georgian. his paternal grandfather was the founder of wheat street baptist church. andrew jackson was the founder of wheat street baptist church in 1969 and his maternal grandfather was the highest-ranking black mason in all of georgia. he was a mail carrier and he was on the morehouse board of trustees. he raised money for the college. what's particularly interesting is all of them get masters sdgs and irene dobbs jackson receives a ph.d in french from the university of toulouse. he came from a very influential family, but they were not rich. this is a very important distinction. what happens is maynard jackson graduates from high school at 15 and enters morehouse college. he later goes to boston to law school and doesn't work out and so he ends up going to north carolina's central college's law school which is north carolina's central university and it is there that he meets bunny hayes who becomes bunny jackson and so what you see here is the day that he's elected. there's an interesting sto

jackson was a fifth-generation georgian. andrew jackson was the founder of the church in 1865. his grandfather was the unofficial air of sweet operant. he was on the morehouse board of trustees. he has six daughters. he came from a very influential family, but they were not rich. this is a very important distinction. he later goes to boston to work out. it is there he meets bunny. in 1968, he had a daughter by the name of broke and took it to lewisburg north carolina. robert f kennedy is assassinated at the time. he feels like he must do something. that is interesting. it is one of the greatest southern oligarchs. the thing about it that is decided to do so, without speaking the endorsement of the black political kingmakers, which had been founded in 1946 by his grandfather, john wesley dobbs. so he crossed the black political kingmakers in a particular kind of way. in his senatorial race he wins the city of atlanta. he can carryear votes. without going to the black political kingmakers again, he decided he was going to run for vice mayor and able to win. in 1973 he runs agains

jackson personally quite a bit.seeing once again is that he really prefers personal chemistry rather than their curriculum vitae. a lot of people are concerned in the white house how he will do in confirmation hearings. but the president really likes company, likes talking to him. by monday afternoon the president was speaking about this to a small number of people in the white house. again, it should not be decried i guess the president for his second year on people he personally feels comfortable with is an example. >> do we know anything about whether or not dr. jackson has ever managed anything? >> my understanding is no. i suppose i could be be corrected. this is a very troubled one he will be taking over and a major question is whether he can do that. >> let's talk about hope hicks's departure. today is her last day. she was by the president's side even before he was president. she is a trusted friend, confidante and aide. why the holdup in naming who would be the next director of communications? >> i think a

ronny jackson and the strength of this pick? >> i know admiral jackson is career military officer.rved under two presidents as white house physician. he is a man who understands the v.a. because he has used it for his entire career as it relates to health care and understands the problems that veterans face having been an active duty military officer for his entire professional career. if we want somebody who understands the problems veterans face, who better than one who is going to retire and take over this position to understand the problems that veterans face. >> part of the answer to that question is someone who has managed something before, let alone the second biggest bureaucracy of 377,000 plus employees and about $250 billion flowing through it. do you know of any management experience of anything near that scale that the admiral has? >> well, chris, i think if you look back and you look at the previous v.a. secretaries, those who supposedly had management experience who have come in, we have seen disasters under their regimes. the tragedies that took place in phoenix, ari

then maynard jackson's job was to speak.f the interesting things about maynard jackson is he sometimes toyed between being a preacher and a lawyer. his grandfather was his idol who knew how to talk. he would talk about sitting down in the storm. andrew young's job was to bring it home. and they had organ music, and the black churches call the whoop. when they bring it closed and everybody comes to jesus. basically what the world saw was dr. king's dream. when atlanta wins the bid for the olympic games, it was dr. king's legacy that presents atlanta as a city that had transcended the racial history of the american south. >> thank you for the lecture. really enjoyed it. i am a native georgian and came to atlanta in 1976 to go to clark college. i am familiar with the history from that point forward. the question is, with all the history of atlanta, the rich history as a "black mecca" what do you see as the future of this black mecca? prof. hobson: this is a million-dollar question. i get this six ways to sunday. i get this ques

jackson, were surprised by his nomination. they wrote thatas jackson w taken aback and heads at the same t aed to take on such big job but the president continued to push and told the senior statue on monday that the doctor s his top choice. a senior white house said jackson went through an informal vetting process but without the extensive vetting that typically accompanies a selection.t we're looking a touch configure medication perhaps for the doctor. shaw: we are, despite the fact that a lot of people on both sides in washington liked a miriam dr. ronny jackson. the probl here is -- bedid sort of dive into the v.a. yesterday on vice news tonight sw becouldn't find anything that looked le management for dr. jackson in terms of running anymore kind of l ge organization or even small organization really. so while he may be a a vy good ctor, it's hard to see how he's going to go into something as large athe v.a., something that david shulkin had been a part of before, didn't successfully get through his term as v.a. secretary

jackson has been named the replacement at the v.a. recently, but people have not taken it seriously. >> the nomination is not going over well with veterans groups. the executive director of the american veterans groups says it has come to a screeching halt. we are disappointed and more so we are concerned. concerned at the nominee. we don't see anything in the bio that makes him fit to lead. >> in a stinging op-ed published overnight, david shulkin takes aim at people who want to privatize the v.a. shulkin says the department has become evntangled in a brutal power struggle. >> he says, quote solutions should be determined on the merits of the arguments. the advocates for privatizing v.a. reject the approach. they saw me as an obstacle to the privatization that had to be removed. it is a political issue and rewarding select people and companies with profits if it undermines care. expanding health for veterans is a white house priority. >>> president trump's top lawyer john dowd floated pardons for paul manafort and michael flynn. eras

jackson will make a tremendous secretary of veterans affairs. this is a man who as a doctor understands medicine. as an active duty member understands the military. he understands what veterans need in the 21st century in terms of modernizing care, giving them choices an options, making sure things like wait lines and bureaucracy at va is no longer preventing veterans getting care they earned, they deserve, that they need. we've had kind of bureaucrats or individuals who understand, kind of have the experience and resume' of, you know, hospital organizations or in the case of the obama administration general eric shinseki kind of run the va and they haven't fixed the problems. they haven't significantly reduced wait times. under the president's leadership, we have begun to reduce wait times. we've begun to take a lot of the things that provide transparency and put them online for veterans to be able to make more informed choices about their health care. we want to continue the process to insure that veterans who have served this country, who hav

jackson: trust. brent: from who? jackson: from the german public.y are going to have to figure out how to say this is 3.0, this is something new, it is not going to be more the same. that is a big cell and she has a hard and loud opposition party that are going to reminder of that everyday. number two i think is just to say she has new ideas about europe and about the society at large and she is to have to deal with these foreign policies. brent: do you know what these new ideas are? jackson: probably a long line of we're going to build a society that is readable of taking care of everybody, this social society, we are going to address that. the other problem is where is your -- brent: the social democrats are very pro-europe. jackson: everybody was. the fact of the matter is what is going to be the optimal is asian of that? -- optimilization of that. brent: there is some criticism that what we are seeing with this is actually germany turning the clock back with the social democrats getting in with a lot of power, getting rid of the deregulation tha

jackson's bio.here is not nothing in the bio -- there is nothing in the bio that says he cannot lead. let's give him a shot. spinning further to 2020 with the battle of the census and the trump administration deciding to include a question on citizenship in 2020 for the first time since the 1950s. they say it is about free and fair elections and getting an accurate count. on the other side, california and new york, among the states suing and eric holder taking them on. you studied this issue for years. what is the impact of including that question on the census? >> dave, the problem is that we don't know. that's the main concern critics say. when you have the census, there is a process for testing questions. you can be certain you have every sense how this will impact returns. that is the concern here. a worry that especially amid the rhetoric of immigrants and immigration right now that folks who get a government survey asking them to identify whether they are a citizen or non citizen will be scare

jackson's credentials are impressive. he served in iraq and has served as white house sfigs in the last three administrations. but he's got some significant holes in his resume. he has no management experience. and yet at the va he would be in charge of more than 300,000 employees. as far as we know, he has no experience with the federal budget. the va budget runs $186 billion. that's the second largest of any agency right behind the department of defense. and jackson's current responsibilities cover only a handful of people at any given time. at the va, he would be responsible for the care of 9 million enrollees. he would also be responsible in helping trump fulfill one of his key campaign promises, taking care of our veterans. this is an extraordinary step for someone who was previously best known for publicly giving the president a clean bill of health. >> in summary, the president's overall health is excellent. been my experience that the president, you know, he's very sharp and, you know, he's very articulate when he

ronny jackson, a rear admiral in the navy. dr. jackson has no experience running a large agency. the department of veterans affairs is the federal government second-largest agency, with 360,000 employees. shulkin had been facing criticism for various ethics violations, including using taxpayer money to pay for his wife's airfare during a trip to europe last summer. but shulkin says he's actually being ousted because of his opposition to privatizing the va which runs 1700 hospitals and clinics. in a piece for "the new york times," shulkin wrote -- "they saw me as an obstacle to privatization who had to be removed. that is because i am convinced that privatization is a political issue aimed at rewarding select people and companies with profits, even if it undermines care for veterans." the push to privatize the va has been led by a group called concerned veterans for america which is funded by the billionaire conservative koch brothers. but other veterans groups, including the veterans of foreign wars and the american legion, have opposed the privatization plans. on sunday, senator

i think ronny jackson's prior service, ronny jackson's patrioti patriotism, ronny jackson's knowledge of the veterans system, it is going to help him succeed in this role. look, we could try to tear this guy down before he even starts this job, but i just don't know what good that does. >> we're going to have to leave it there. thanks very much for taking the hard questions. >> thanks, jim. >> thanks, jim. >>> coming up, disturbing new video from an officer's body camera showing the police killing of alton sterling in baton rouge. we're going to show you the video and bring you breaking news about what has happened to those police officers. that's next. how do you win at business? stay at la quinta. where we're changing with stylish make-overs. then at your next meeting, set your seat height to its maximum level. bravo, tall meeting man. start winning today. book now at lq.com on the only bed that adjusts on both sides to your ideal comfort, your sleep number setting. does your bed do that? it's the last chance for clearance savings up to $800 on our most popular beds. ends saturday.

ronnie jackson is not a person who has any experience in running a huge bureaucracy which is the case in the the veterans affairs department is actually the second largest department in the u.s. government second only to the pentagon that is but dr jackson seemed to have made a positive impression on president especially when he gave a very optimistic and rosy assessment of the president's personal health both physical and mental in a after a presidential checkup in january this at a time when some commentators were raising questions about the president's physical and mental stamina and fitness for his job so just a little over twelve fourteen months in office the president has gotten rid of one secretary of state two national security advisers one white house chief of staff a senior economic adviser secretary of health now secretary of veterans affairs as well as the numerous other figures who. or at lower levels in the federal government or in the white house this is a level of turnover unprecedented in any other administration prior to president trump taking office and it is said t

jackson is highly trained and qualified and said that as a servicemember himself jackson has seen first hand the tremendous sacrifice our veterans make and has a deep appreciation for the debt our great country owes them. anne-marie? >> well, john dowd is denying the possibility that he pardoned two of the president's advisers. >> president trump's lead lawyer in the russia investigation talked about pardons for two of the president's former advisers. according to "the new york times." the "times" says last summer attorney john dowd spoke with the first national security adviser michael flynn about a presidential pardon as special counsel robert mueller was gathering evidence against him. flen later cut a deal with mueller's team. the "times" reports dowd also spoke with manafort's attorney. flynn later cut a deal with mueller's team. they also discussed a presidential pardon with paul manafort's attorney. manafort spent a few months running mr. trump's campaign. he's been charged but is now cooperating with mueller's team. conversations about pardons raised the prospect that the white

jacks jackson?ified to changes the calcified culture in. >> unless he removes a good number of those people, unless he cleans house, certainly it is my position only the v.a. can be cleaned up by somebody outside the v.a. but if he thinks that he can just -- given his personality he can weigh in, he will change things, that just won't happen. and the v.a. will continue to fail our veterans. >> so am i hearing you right, you are concerned about this appointment from the president? this pick? >> i'd be concerned about any appointment. i just think that unless this navy officer will be marine corps tough and, you know, go in there and clean house and say you really don't belong here, you've not served our veterans and the taxpayers of this country in terms of this bloated bureaucracy, unless he will really clean house, this is an organization that is over half the size of the united states army. and unless he will be tough, nothing will change. >> so how do you think his confirmation hearing will go? >

jackson, ronny jackson will become the next cabinet official to have to get confirmed. we're looking at three separate sets of confirmation hearings in april when the senate gets back. shulkin got confirmed 100-0. this will not be as easy for his replacement but the veterans affairs committee has a lot of democrats on it who are up for reelection including john tester who's the ranking member of that. this is not somebody who wants to pick a fight with president trump a few months before he has to get re-elected in a state that trump won. the confirmationle won't be nearly as ugly but it's just one more thing the senate will have to balance as the resolving door here continues to turn. >> in terms of what the president sees in ronny jackson, what drew him to him, a lot of people have been noting that press conference that dr. jackson gave a few months ago where he offered a very robust endorsement of the president's physical and mental health. do you have any insight into what it was that drew the president to him for this post? >> reporter: we haven't heard a lot from

ronny jackson was taken aback when he got the news. he is taking over $186 billion budget and 377,000 employees. >>> new questions about epa administrator scott pruett. it says his 24-hour security in washington extends to some of his personal trips, including a family vacation to disneyland and sporting events. we begin with cnn's shimon with a top story. new insight about what robert mueller might have. >> reporter: good morning. we have been told, the team has been primarily using rick gates and was involved in the trump campaign for information about the central mission of the investigation which has essentially been russian interference and so-called collusion in the 2016 campaign. and what's interesting here is that we're told that early on when rick gates agreed to cooperate he basically told -- mueller's team told him they didn't need him for paul manafort and instead wanted to hear what he knew about the contacts between trump campaign associates and russians. in a recent court filing, as you know, shows in some ways how rick

was this more about shulkin or more about trump wanting jackson?it's hard to discern what it's actually about. we have a sense the white house aides are not ready to answer all the questions about ronny jackson and his qualifications. he's a doctor and active duty member of the armed forces. what qualifies him to run a troubled and large agency. where does he stand on privatizing health care for veterans. >> it does seem, michelle, in some ways this is consistent with what we know about trump and his style. in other ways putting it somebody like jackson forward seems like the sole qualification we've seen is what he did on television. >> trump also wanted to hire his pilot to head the faa. this is somebody who has kind of contempt for governing experience, makes snap decisions and really could care less about qualifications. i think one of the stories so far has been that the federal government has morse or less sort of held together despite having this chaotic incompetent team an the top. and we're going to see over the coming years the corruption

ronny jackson. dr. jackson, you'll recall, made a name for himself, you might say, by declaring the president to be in excellent health. but i'm told by a white house official that some of these questions about david shulkin, ethical questions over at the va were becoming too big of a distraction for him to carry out the president's agenda when it comes to reforming care for our nation's veterans.

jackson lee: you're prepared to close? mr. issa: we are. ms. jackson lee: thank you. again, mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i might consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized. ms. jackson lee: h.r. 506 create nauseserks 1352, on chapter 63, title 18, to penalize fraudsters that knowingly execute or attempt to execute a scheme to defraud a veteran of his or her benefits. that is a dastardly act. or in connection with obtaining that veteran's benefits, by imposing a fine, imprisonment or up to five years or both. under current law, you can be an agent or attorney and meet certain standards, and you can help a veteran. but there are many who are not so licensed or they were not connected or had the approval of various states or local governments and they were fraudulently taking precious resources from our veterans. and there was no criminal or financial penalty for breaking the law. so 506 provides that penalty. because in recent years, financial predators across the country have targeted easy targets, those are veterans. and many as we said have been

that jackson had asked him to express his own thoughts because jackson was undecided. all we know is that justice jackson's secretary disputed rehnquist's account said that he had never asked for competing opinions to be written in his voice and, according to her, rehnquist was expressing his own views. i think that is the most direct evidence. susan: maurice is in memphis. you are on. >> good evening. the 14th amendment does not apply to the federal government. although we feel that certain fundamental projections are so important that they appear twice so that the fifth and 14th amendments each have a due process clause. the equal protection of the law is a more explicit safeguard of prohibited unfairness than due process of law. i would not assert that that implies the two are always interchangeable phrases. how do you feel about the assertion that the concepts of equal protection and due process are not mutually exclusive? tomiko: i think you are referring to the controversy over bowling versus sharp where the court reads an equal protection component into the fift

ronny jackson, dr. jackson, will be controversial in a different way. he has no political record to speak of and no management experience of anything even remotely approaching the size of the organization he would be leading if he does get confirmed. yesterday, we saw sort of tepid statements from a number of senators, key senators, overseeing that confirmation process. folks on the veterans affairs committee don't know jackson. they have in many cases literally never met him. the good news if you're dr. jackson or the trump white house, there's not necessarily a huge appetite to pick this fight. democrats are far more concerned about mike pompeo, about gina has pell in particular leading. you have a couple of red state democratic senators who are fighting for re-election right now, including the ranking democrat on that committee, jon tester, who's competing in montana, a state that donald trump won overwhelmingly. part of his pitch is his ability to work with president trump. it's tough to see them scuttling dr. jackson or trying to fight him tooth an

the jackson story is also fascinating because it is at the point that mccullough argues, that jackson is doing his triumphant tour of the u.s. that that henited states and had not played by the rules in the seminole wars. there is a huge amount of great history that lurks in this whole question of jackson and marshall and mccullough. guest: jackson would respond directly to mccullough in his veto message. the bank of the united states' charter came up for renewal was he was president. congress overwhelmingly voted to renew that charter. and he vetoed it. in the veto message he sent to congress explain his actions, he said, i do not feel bound by the decision of the supreme court as to the constitutionality of the bank. that is what the supreme court believes, but when i took my oath of office, swearing i would uphold the constitution, i swore to uphold it as i understand it, and i understand the bank to be an unconstitutional exercise of federal power. host: in our complimentary book for this series, landmark cases, there is a wonderful editorial cartoon from the period, general jacks

jackson. this is somebody who didn't come to the white house with trump. he had been there under obama starting in 2013. where did that relationship come from? how close is it? what do we know about that? >> this is, as you point out, someone who served in the obama administration. it is notable that he was able to forge this relationship with president trump. this is someone who's spent a lot of time with the president, again suggested putting him on a diet. someone also able to give him truth talking, as well. but i think that this developed over time. he also is someone who looks the part. he was very strong in that briefing that we had. and remember, the president sometimes likes to pick people who look the part who he thinks are strong characters in front of a camera. he thinks that's part of being a part of his administration. there were a range of different farcs that played into this. how is this going to play once he needs confirmed on capitol hill? that's where the real question lies now. i think we'll have to wait and see how it unfolds because

ronny jackson. and we have no idea where he stands on privatization.e i've never read anything he said on that subject if he has commented on it. again, he was beloved within the obama white house and the trump white house as well, but you have concerns about the managerial experience. why? >> well, because this is a huge agency. it has had a number of scandals and challenges over the last few years. we have a lot of returning service men and women who are coming back from having served overseas. a lot of cases of ptsd and mental health issues. and we need somebody who understands how to manage and make this different operate better. >> so your vote is to be determined at this point. >> i want to hear what he has to say. >> let's shift gears if i can, obviously it was sunday night, feels like a lifetime ago, that we heard from donald trump who alleges that she had a sexual relationship with president trump and then was threatened basically into signing a non-disclosure agreement. first of all, do you believe her? >> i watched her interview. i thought s

david shulkin out and ronnie jackson, dr. johnny jackson in. an unusual choice, to say the least. >> yeah, andrea, that's putting it mildly. the president leaving now not answering any questions. he's not really been seen in public until this moment over the last five days or so. we've got almost a backlog of big questions for him on issues like this. we're reporting this morning that chief of staff john kelly called dr. shulkin yesterday before the president's tweet. so unlike some other cabinet secretaries, he may not have been caught as completely off guard of the news that he was out, the president's doctor on the way in. it is interesting to hear white house officials talk about the rear admiral who is now the nominee to head the virginia. they make the argument he is a veteran, understands veterans issues and has the president's ear. but nobody is trying to credit make the argument that he has the management experience to lead an organization of a couple hundred thousand people as the va is. they just say that the last few directors of th

jackson is doing his triumphant tour of the united states. in the wake of congressional exposure and the fact that he had not exactly played by the rules in the seminole wars. so a huge amount of great history that lurks in this whole question of jarks and marshall and mccullough. >> and jackson would actually respond directly to mccullough and his veto message. so the bank of the united states, charter came up for renewal while he was president. and congress overwhelmingly voted to renew that charter. and he vetoed it. and in the veto message he sent to congress explaining his actions, he said i do not feel bound by the decision of the supreme court as to the constitutionality of the bank. that's what the supreme court believes. but when i took my oath of office, swearing that i would uphold the constitution, i swore to uphold it as i understand it. and i understand the bank to be an unconstitutional exercise of federal power. >> and our complement complementary pak for this series landmark cases written by supreme court reporter tony arvis,

jackson. admiral jackson served as the white house doctor in the last three sessions.dent says he is, quote, highly trained and qualified and, as a service member himself, he has seen firsthand the tremendous sacrifice our veterans make. he was a loan hold over from the obama administration and unanimously voted in 100-0. many people saw this coming. he often butted heads with the president during his time in office and was caught up in ethics scandals, accused of using va funds for a personal trip with his wife. for the president, the v.a. has been vital to his office. often campaigning on a platform of reforming the department. many times saying, it's toum to make the v.a. great again. maggie rulli, abc news, new york. >>> amazon stocks fell sharply on a report president trump wants to go after the company and regulate its business model. the president made it clear in the past, he's not a fan of amazon founder, jeff bezos. now they're reporting he's obsessed with with their tax treatment. stocks plummeted more than 4%. a loss of $31 billion that shaved $5 billion of

ronnie jackson is not a person who has any experience in running a huge bureaucracy which is the case in the the veterans affairs department is actually the second largest department in the u.s. government second only to the pentagon that is but dr jackson seemed to have made a positive impression on president especially when he gave a very optimistic and rosy assessment of the president's personal health both physical and mental in a after a presidential checkup in january this at a time when some commentators were raising questions about the president's physical and mental stamina and fitness for his job so just a little over twelve fourteen months in office the president has gotten rid of one secretary of state two national security advisers one white house chief of staff a senior economic adviser secretary of health now secretary of veterans affairs as well as the numerous other figures who are at lower levels in the federal government or in the white house this is a level of turnover unprecedented in any other administration probably present. office bed that drop to soros visuals

jackson i believe is going to do this with the right intention. he's going to need a lot of help around him and a team around him to be successful. i certainly believe that i will do everything i can to make sure that that is -- that he is doing the job he needs to do. >> but it's certainly the case that if what you are saying is true and i don't have an independent wave confirming it, but if what you're saying is true, he can't possibly succeed in the mission of strengthening the va if the same people are there who you say are actively working to subvert that purpose so that the place can be privati privatized? >> i think it's clear that va needs to rid itself of people that aren't there for the sole intention of focusing on improving services and care for veterans and nobody should tolerate this type of politization of an important department like va. >> former va secretary david

jackson. so this is not a criticism. but i think he is going to be the front guy to try to move toward privatization. what i am urging my colleagues on the senate veterans fairs committee to do is to not support dr. jackson or anybody else who intends to privatize the va. that would be a terrible disservice to millions of veterans in this country who depend upon the va into final question. has -- did shulkin do a good job? we keep talking about strengthening the va and know there are problems. is the trajectory going in the right direction? >> i think in general it is. look, he was under a lot of pressure. and at every meeting, there was always that debate between those who wanted to privatize and he was clear. he's consistent in what he told you this evening. he wants to strengthen the va but wants to give under certain circumstances and the devil is in the details veterans the option to go to private care. if you are living in a very rural state and you have to travel two hours to get to a va, should you be able to go
