he helped to write the first tennessee state constitution and was our first congressman from tennessee. it was the war of 1812 that was a springboard for him to national recognition. the war of 1812 was perhaps not the best conceived war in our nations history. as the panel here very graphically shows, it was a grudge match between great britain and the united states the panel you see here is from a political cartoon at the time. president monroe is punching out king george of england and king george has a black eye and blood he knows. this panel gave me great pause when it was proposed that we use it. people love it because it's so graphically illustrate what the americans intention was with that war. the purpose of this panel is to help remind americans today that in that the 18 teens new orleans was a vitally important city to the growing america. as the united states was developing in the 18 teens the mountains ran along parallel to the east coast for all the settlement and the people moving into the air between the allegheny mountains and mississippi river. new orleans became the

that's a big concern of the people in tennessee. sure we don't give in-state tuition to our illegal immigrants. that's one of the biggest issues near the state of tennessee. lou: tennessee is sharing in what has been a remarkable turnaround. this country is booming. low unemployment. rising economic growth. we are at 4.1% for the second quarter and headed higher, it appears. this is the best of times for many americans. how about in tennessee and how bright are the prospects for republican candidates? >> well, i'm very excited about the fact we were able to work together with vice president pence and also president trump to make sure we got the tax cuts and jobs act passed. we have seen what that has done. being in the middle of that as the budget chairman was really quite taken honor. there are more jobs open than there are people to fill them. the economy is booming. we are a state that doesn't have a state income tax. people moving here at 100 people a day. tennessee is a booming area and we want to keep it that way. as someone w

ss >> host: yes, sir. >> caller: pioneer tennessee. >> host: go ahead from pioneer tennessee, this is kind of a pet peeve of mine. i hear all the reps and in congress talk about people backing our power grid with the internet and all that. my question is, what's wrong with having a person with the radio at a switchboard and tell you which switch to flip of what tto do and it not be hooked to the internet? it seems like a made a problem to me. that's all. >> guest: you have put your finger on exactly what happened when the russians when at the ukrainian energy system in 2015. and the reason they didn't succeed was precisely because the system relied on manual switches. they literally had guys goingd around and flipping switches. the problem for us is that our companies have applied i.t. technology to all this so it might be really hard in most of these cases to find a switch too flip, that's what our vulnerability to the cyber attack is so, so great. >> host: intellection securitized but having a backup paper ballot to electronic voting machines. is thereotot a backup manual swh built

in white evangelicals tennessee think donald trump is doing a good job.ini: president trump has trumpeted the state of the u.s. ecomy under his leadership, but it appears to -- as it appears too from strength to strength. but one crucial number seems stuck, potentially holding back the u.s.r. consu paul blake reports. pres. trump: we have the greatest economy we have ever had. we're setting records in every respect. paul: the u.s. economy is booming, the president is right about that. our average americans feeling benefits? pres. trump: wages for the first time in 18 years are rising. paul: wages have been stagnant for tickets, but let's look at the last five years. some ups and downs, but it is generally heading north. since last year, wages are up 2.. pres. trum we have so many jobs coming in, but they are ra:ing wages. pa here's the problem -- that is what we call nominal wage growth, meaning we have not adjusted for inflation or the rising prices of everyday goods. pres. trump: did you see the prices? paul: over the past year average prices for consum

host: we mentioned the primaries in tennessee. rose, in nashville, tennessee.mind talking about your primary vote? caller: i early voted. i think all of the candidates we have on the republican ticket running for governor are good. host: who did you like in the governor's race? caller: i liked them all. it was hard. i listened to a few debates. i think possibly diane black may come out on top. we will have to wait and see. i called about the midterm elections in november. the main issue for me is the wall and the securing the southern border and the immigration policy. i wanted to encourage fellow republicans to get out and vote in the midterms. if we lose the house or senate, the democrats will try to impeach donald trump, who reelected as president. they will raise our taxes. everythingry to undo president trump has accomplished so far in his 18-19 months of office. these democrats that call themselves progressive have a socialist agenda. if we want to keep our president, and keep the donald trump agenda going, we all need to show up at the polls and vote and

he joins a task force of the dea, tennessee bureau of investigation and local authorities.g a federal drug investigation in tennessee, geraldo, i will turn it over to you to explain what you do. i believe you done some your views on the ground as well. >> welcome to nashville, the capital of tennessee. the state capitol building majestic behind me and the flags on the top of the state capital have waved at half-staff. about halfway between here in nashville and knoxville in the eastern part of the state, there's a little town called salina, tennessee, in clay county. 1500 people live in salina, tennessee. 1500 people, served by four big busy drugstores. doors for big busy drug stores last year according to the dea road 1.3 million prescriptions, 1.3 million opioid pills were prescribed by those for drugstores in that tiny town of salina, tennessee. obviously what the tennessee bureau of investigation suspects is that some of those drugs are being diverted or that the doctors are overprescribing, that those drugstores have become prescription pill factories, dispensing drugs

you've got a race between phil bredesen, who was the governor off off of tennessee.ou have marsha blackburn, who's a fiery trump supporter. what do you see happening here, michael? >> i would say phil bredesen is a sleeper to actually win this seat. i don't think it's a guarantee that the republicans hold on to it, even though tennessee has gotten much more republican since bredesen was in the governor's office. he's a moderate. he sort of fits the state in a way that i think not a lot of democrats in the trump era have been able to do. maybe in some of these house districts in california where they're trying to beat off republicans who won in hillary districts. bredesen, i think, fits the mold for what democrats in trump states ought to be doing. this is a race i would be watching. >> and what isn't fitting the mold in some of these states are people who are house members, not able to sort of get the ticket to the bigger job. we saw that of course with diane black. she's the fifth house gop member to run for statewide office to lose in 2018. >> right. you see people

before 1812 he had achieved a level of providence in tennessee. he actually helped to write the first state constitution and was the first congressman from tennessee. it was the war of 1812 that was really a springboard for him to national recognition. the war of 1812 was perhaps not the best conceived war in the nation's history and as the panel here very graphically shows it was sort of a grudge match between great britain and the united states. the panel you see here is from a political cartoon at the time. president monroe is punching out king george of england and king george has a black guy -- has a black eye and the bloody knows. it illustrates the intentions of the work. the purpose of this panel is to help remind americans today that new orleans was a vitally important city to the growing america. as the united states was developing, the allegheny mountains run kind of parallel to the east coast here. all of the people moving into the area between the allegheny mountains and the mississippi river new orleans became the exit point for all

then between tennessee and mississippi. his home until march on washington. along with harry belafonte, he was facing bankruptcy, we couldn't go any further. where was the money coming from? the black banks are too small and white banks are too hostile. so, aretha said we'll check. we'll give you the money. we were on attack. aretha franklin and harry belafonte stepped on the stage in houston, texas. on that stage, they put tear gas in the fan. they had to evacuate the building. she kept right on singing. she sang for carter mandela, clinton, obama. after all, before we had this level of technology, in the same group. called the caravans. i was called last week to meet with aretha. i met with her at least a month for the last three years. she called me to reach my on the phone. talking to the fire. prayed a why and cried a while. i came last wednesday. aretha was in a coma. not able to wake up or move some days. i was with -- i said wake up, baby. wake up baby. she opened her eyes. the warmth of her hand one more time. it w

i think a great illustration of this is what happened in tennessee. blue cross blue shield of tennessee was very aggressive with its pricing the first year and contribute overestimate of the amount of healthy people relative to sick people in exchange. far too low and what happens as it drove out all the other insurers from the marketplace, humana fled, united years, think after three blue cross blue shield was the only insurer in tennessee. the affordable care act tries to excuse this by saying that wasn't the fault of bad design of the affordable care act, it was the fault of the farm bureau plans in tennessee. when you actually look which were exempt from the affordable care act rules. when you look at farm bureau plans which are in some ways similar to short-term plans with are exempt from aca rules, 0.3% of tennessee's evolution in the farm bureau plans. what's been going on is a affordable care act is essentially established through herding financial system it once futile to pay for plans that are ridiculous value for them and it created a chron

so far, he has been hesitant to directly attack president trump, who carried tennessee in 2016 by 26nts. >> i intend to be a senator who is not up there to work for or against the president, not going to work for or against any political party, do try to figure out what's best for the people of tennessee. >> bill bergeson said that the democrats call to abolish i.c.e. is a stupid idea. >> the party recognizes that not everybody cannot run as a far left progressive, so originally, if it makes sense for somebody to take a more moderate stance, the parties supportive of it because a win is a win. >> the strategy appears to be trying to keep the focus on new tariffs, which threaten more than $1 billion and tennessee exports, and have angered state farmers and car manufacturers. the tariff issue has put blackburn on the defensive, pushing back against the administration. >> i'm not a fan of tariffs. what we are doing is continuing to work with the administration with the department of commerce to point out where these are having an adverse impact. >> it's been 28 years since tennessee has

well, jackson went on to help found the state of tennessee. got married in 1806. someone insulted his life. he challenged the man to a duel, shot him. just shot him. the only president in the united states who has ever killed a man. that's andrew jackson. shark knife. well, andrew jackson joins the military. he joins the military and fights the creek indians in 1814. fights the seminole indians in 1817. and then in 1815, earns his fame through the battle of new orleans, this spectacular victory against the british even though, again, as you remember, the war was already over. that doesn't seem to matter because this elevates andrew jackson to celebrity status. and that is, indeed, what jackson is, a celebrity. he has some political experience. he serves about two years in the u.s. senate, but that's really all. jackson is also very wealthy. very, very wealthy. there's his plantation, the hermitage. the hermitage starts out 1804. jackson has nine slaves. by the 1830s, jackson has well over 100 slaves and slaves are very expensive. most common people can't afford an

we have to if it candidates in places like nevada and arizona, tennessee, we have a big race going on in texas. i will say, we have good candidates in the other states as well. this is a cycle where anything can happen. if we have learned one thing, anything can happen. alexander: what is the top tier though? sen. van hollen: we always look at the states that donald trump won and mitt romney won. there are the five states, like missouri, indiana, north dakota, west virginia, montana. -- you're asking me on the terms of what we are defending. obviously, there is a big battle going on in florida. but, the reality is our candidates are doing really well. that is because they have track records of standing up first and foremost for the people of their state. they are all about delivering results for their states. what are the chances the democrats taking back the control of the senate? what percentage chance? sen. van hollen: i will not handicap and in that way. but i will say if we had this conversation a year ago, we probably would not be talking about a path to a democratic majority in

nick bryant, bbc news, tennessee.atson at the bbc sport centre. good evening. england were bowled out for 161 runs, as they lost all ten wickets between lunch and tea on day two of the third test. it leaves india in control and well placed to reduce england's lead in the series with victory at trent bridge. patrick gearey reports. not a glorious sunday morning scene unless you have a cricket ball in hand. cloud cover is the preferred climate of the english swing bowler. few understand by the ball looks like this. one of four indian wickets to fall before lunch. 329 all out. but england had to bat. clearly not easy — after a decent start alastair cook was first to fall, the next ball, new over, keaton jennings, 54—2. 0llie pope went and it was felt thatjoe root was next but he disagreed. he did not think the ball had carried to the field. sometimes the more you see something, the more confusing it is. they stuck with the umpire, unpopular but unsurprising. as was what happened next, england collapse. ben stokes went ou

i think nevada, arizona, and tennessee are the best paths that they can hold democratic seats. susan: alexander, what can you add? alexander: i agree with that. i think dean heller in nevada is considered the most likely democratic pickup. after that, i think arizona is seen as the next strongest pickup. the key factor in those two states is they are a large hispanic population. of course president trump has run a very divisive public campaign against illegal immigration. democrats feel that this helps them a lot with hispanic voters. those are states with large hispanic populations. we will see if that is the case. that would be something i wanted to hear from mr. van hollen about. will trump hurt republicans in the states? that is one of the most interesting questions. susan: what role will super pac's play this year? nicholas: [laughs] a large one. there will be a ton of money flooding in competitive states all over the country. we were talking about this before. we started speculating about whether or not it will matter, because the republicans and democrats seem to have so
