of the things that's interesting is the solicitor during much of the obama presidency if the robert jackson later and one of the things he talked about is the extent to which the supreme court has kind of competing 211 hand the fact donald trump has been some quite extraordinary things he had two cases up there but troubled in case with this in this case should they take into account what everybody knows or should they act as if it is a normal administration because of the one hand if you take into account what everybody knows to be a much more activist court in the executive branch. on the other hand, if you act as if this is normal, or you normalizing a different country than that which we had before. we really saw that in the position of the census case which was an opinion that is written as if that kind of goes like this and then at the very end, over here. most of the opinion seemed to be how much deference we are going to get to the commerce d department and then the judge for whom he clerked. we can't ignore the judges that we know as people. don't be naÏve as a people. it is just a

tonight we hear about president franklin d roosevelt and his relationship with robert jackson, who served during his administration as solicitor general, attorney general, and as a supreme court justice. that is what is coming up here on american history tv. >> this fall, american history tv's reel america is winding back the clock. next, from 1972, candidates journal paid for by the mcgovern for president committee. it follows the south dakota and senator and democratic nominee as he meets a variety of voters across the united states struggling with economic problems. he hears from a baltimore steelworker, senior citizen, wisconsin farmer, unemployed engineer and wheelchair-bound vietnam veteran. mcgovern lost to richard nixon in a landslide that year, winning only the district of columbia and massachusetts. [film begins] >> waves of planes and helicopters, both american and south vietnamese, have made thousands of sorties. senator mcgovern: during the years, i have found that campaigning can be a lonely business, a succession of airports, motels, not seeing my family for weeks at a time

interesting from don who was the solicitor general for much of the obama presidency recently gave the robert jackson lecture and one of the things he talked about was the extent which the supreme court has kind of competing temptations. to on the one hand deal with the fact donald trump has done some extraordinary things and has made some claims that are quite different from claims presidents have made in the past. he had two cases up there the term before last, the travel ban case in the last term the census case. where was the sense of should the court take into account what everyone knows or should they act as if it's a normal administration because on the one hand if you take into account what everybody knows, you have to be a much more active court in slapping down the executive branch in recent years. on the other hand, if you act as if it is normal, are you normalizing a very different kind of country than the country we had before? i think the supreme court really went back and forth on this. you sought in last term plus term'ssaw that in last decision in the census case which was an opinion

davis's most outspoken critic and the hatred between the two men, we are talking andrew jackson, calhoun, lbj, roberty, the hatred was strong. i might suggest with the looks on jefferson davis, a lot more than that actually. but to read some of those and see how foot is treated by these individuals who wrote the davis biographies and then contrast them and everyone get my book and contrast them, compared notes. it's kind of interesting to see how foot is treated by some of davis's biographers. >> we had a question and you left, if you'd like to come back with both glad to entertain it. >> yes ma'am clicks the gentleman before said you already answer his question. we are always taught to learn from history so we won't repeat it again. i was just wondering, and for anybody on the panel, is there any one thing that you want us to pick up from your book that says can marinethis, learn from and don't do it again. anybody? >> i can speak to that. the two younger sisters that i write about catherine and grace led through the mccarthy era reacted to it in very different ways but in both cases their lives wer

jackson. maybe wounded by he is own men, but mortally wounded. after chancellorville, robert e. lee is feeling good. he has one more chance to do this. these are the same guys that fought on the peninsula, walked up to virginia, walked to cedar mountain, to second manassas, to antietam and now they're walking up here. there's going to be a terrible battle where lee is going to calculate that if he can win a major battle on northern soil, lee doesn't have to win but destroy the union will to fight. you'll have lee wanting to take the war away from virginia for a while. relief troops coming from vicksburg and other places. as lee moves north there's a battle at brandy station, largest cavalry battle of the war. middleburg and upper ville. another battle at win chester -- winchester and they come to grips outside of town here right here where we are. we're probably right around here. on the first day, the union retreats back through town to cemetery hill and the hill next to it. another day where they hope to defend the wheat field, the peach orchard round tops that , you see here.

jackson hole. it has not changed a whole lot, their outlooks. the data is starting to lean a little bit more negatively. robert kaplan may be leading a bit toward rate cuts, but the positions have not changed among the people who have been talking. take a look at this week's rate cut lineup. a lot of fed speak today. jim bullard last night, again today. john williams, robert kaplan. put them in the category of likely to vote in favor of cutting. eric rosengren last night says he still does not see the case for doing that. board bowman from the fed gave a speech today, avoided the subject -- it was a different topic. still to come, jay powell and neel kashkari. neel kashkari, you can put him into the likely to cut category. six people have spoken today who are basically all saying, we are where we were a couple weeks ago. the big one is jay powell on friday. amanda: it feels like we have come a long way from the days where greenspan used to joke about how he was not allowed to say. to be very quiet, not signaling. this is a very noisy fed. is that helpful to the market? mike: it does not seem to be helping. man

investigation, what i really didn't understand what representative jackson lee was saying, they've had their inquiries, they had roberte american people? we got the u.s.-mexico free-trade agreement that is up, that is up and it needs to be voted on. this is the sort of thing that the american people -- >> bret: let me just ask what you just talked about. to the president talk tonight about any gun control for background checks push to house republicans. to kim's point that is on the mind she says of many texans? >> well, the president has always had is going to be a strong defender of the second amendment. i take him at his word, i believe he is correct on that. one of the problems we have as we get very little data out of the department of justice. during obama administration in this administration as well, it would be great to have those reports on who is feeling those background checks. are we prosecuting people who lie on their background checks as apparently happened in the incident in odessa. >> bret: yet, congressman, kim, a fair and balanced discussion tonight. stick around, katie pavlich, leslie marshall on d

robert o'brien is providesed to play an important and essential role in those issues. >> as we mentioned, lawmakers don't get a say on who the president picks to be his national security adviser, but sheila jackson lee is talking to capitol hill, and while she haven't had a chance to review his credentials, they points out this is the fourth national security adviser inside the trump administration at this point and she's looking for evidence that this administration is acting carefully on behalf of the american people, kristen. >> that's right. and of course the administration has gotten a lot of scrutiny for its vacancies and the number of acting roles that it has and this is going to be looked at very closely how does robert o'brien interact with the president, is he able to speak up and out and voice his opposition if he does in fact have any moving forward and as we're mapping out, they are grappling with all these critical national security issues, challenges, if you will. not surprising that we're hearing some criticism from democrats. we anticipate what type of reaction we'll get from republicans. it's worth noting, though, hallie, and i know you're going to do a deeper dive into this la
