the secretary of war for ulysses s. grant, and his wife had a taste for the finer things in life and demanded a lavish lifestyle. often times back in the day, cabinet secretaries were expected to entertain and host parties in washington, d.c. they took over a large house that was previously owned by the secretary of state and just through bangers. night after night after night, and so overextended their invitations that at one point, 1200 guests arrived at the party, and they trashed the place and caused so much damage, they could not afford to pay any of the contractors to clean it up, so what did they do? the wife engineered a kickback scheme. all of the western military posts out in indian territory would then get a cut and send it back to he and his wife in order to make up for the lost income. now this went on for many, many years until i was finally discovered, and when it was discovered, he ran into ulysses s. grant's office and said i'm sorry, here's my recogresignation and burst into tears. what did they do with the

ulysses s grant and chief of staff henry halleck get these reports and largely ignore them. scott used earlier the phrase of chicken little. right. that's what grant and halleck think this is all about. there is no way there's 15,000 confederates are moving down the valley. garrett is whining and moaning and complaining about a phantom threat. that is expressed by grant on july 3rd, 1864. earliest corps is now here in petersburg there are no troops that can be threatening the valley. robert e lee had sent deserters or kind of fake deserters into lines to spread disinformation. and so on july 3rd, you have ulysses as grant reporting back. it's really nothing to worry about. it is a almost catastrophic failure of information and telegraphs and reaction to those problems. fortunately for garrett, he's not willing to take that as an answer, and he's got basically an ace up his sleeve and so on july 2nd, 1864, he pays a trip to baltimore. and what garrett is most concerned about is this bridge right here. we're going to ultimately talk about three bridges total. this is the first

thousands of readers, including president abraham lincoln, vice hannibal hamlin and general ulysses s grant among its subscribers. the prospects for such success were grim. upon bradley's arrival at camp, convalescing on the west bank of the potomac in december of 1862, commonly referred as camp misery, hers was the daunting task to transform a perfect golgotha into a functional and efficient hospital for the processing of patients in preparation for discharge or return to regiments. yet if there was a nurse or hospital administrator capable of meeting challenges and setting things right, it was almost certainly amy morris, bradley born in east vassalboro, maine, september 13th, 1823, she overcame a fragile constitution to become a precocious and highly regarded teacher. even so, she remained susceptible to serious bouts of pneumonia, eventually sought relief in more hospitable southern climes, including charleston, south carolina and even costa rica. april of 1861 found her in boston where she learned of the surrender of fort sumter. anxious to do her part, she persuaded former students an

cabinet secretary has only been impeached one time that was under president ulysses s. grant. s. doesn't stand for anything but i digress. here is what happens next to the impeachment of secretary mayorkas. the impeachment manager serve as prosecutor, citizens jurors. the day after the senate receives those articles. then, trials run monday through saturday. senators decide a full trial or move to dismiss or have votes convict organize exonerating mayorkas. the senate could send the articles to committee for re reviewed will will dhs chief for the first time as you mentioned since 1876. >> i would be real surprised if they didn't try to rush it because, look, every day we talk about the border is bad for their guy. >> my message for the senate is they should look at the polling and they know our border security is the number one issue look egregiousness the lack of public trust. the secretary has refused to comply with the law on multiple occasions and multiple times. only three house republicans voted against impeaching mayorkas and two are not running for re-election and lea

. >> ulysses s grant?was lincoln and i think we are both wrong, the answer is ronald reagan. he was born february the sixth 1911 in illinois. the home to the most number presidents with eight of them coming from the state of virginia now we know it was lincoln and a present illinois, three hours today, that is it for "varney & company" you know what's coming up in seven seconds, five, four, three, two, "coast to coast" starts now.

white house just minutes before his impeachment vote, he burst into tears and handed president ulysses s grant'snation, which did not stop the house later that day. they voted unanimously to send the senate five articles of impeachment, saying he -- disregarded his duty as secretary of war and basically prostituting his high office to his lust for arrive it gain. since that dramatic episode almost 150 years ago, no cabinet member has been impeached until this week. what for, you ask? not high crimes and misdemeanors, but policy disagreements. house republicans say that mayorkas is mishandling the u.s. mexico border, and they blame him for a surge in migrants trying to cross that border, but you might remember, republicans are the ones actually holding up immigration legislation. republicans are the ones who, for months, demanded that a big national security bill include immigration policy reform, and when democrats against the will of many party progressives, conceded to these border measures, it was republicans in congress who killed the very same bill that they had a heavy hand and writing. no

look at these presidential ranking big mover back in 1962, ulysses s grant was 30th. look where he is now 17 andrew johnson and the other hand was above grant in 1962. he was 23rd. now he's near trump at 43. historians have sort of look back at the record at different generation of historians say, you know, we really don't like johnson. we vastly prefer grant to him. i wouldn't be surprised that the trump and biden rankings move as we go forward in the future for the fact is this just a snapshot in time, just like a poll is, right? >> that's right. and there's sentiment changes when you look at the history. when sentiment changes, you might see the numbers change as well. harry enten, it's always lovely to see you until you see on presidents day, i'm president s apostrophe. that's how i okay. all right, kate, i'm like, >> don't often see the full screen with, you he says andrew johnson up here. so we're gonna go from the present in the past two now, who will be the president in the very near future, joining us right now is susan page, washington bureau chief for usa t

so if you look back in 1960 to someone like ulysses s grant was 30th, now he's up to 17th someone like andrew johnson, which 23rd ahead of grant back in 62. now his 43rd. so these things can change his historians put things into perspective, but i'm not really much of a surprise to me that someone like andrew johnson, who really did not do particularly good after the civil war has fallen in the rankings, we'll just have to wait and see where donald trump is in 2030, 40 years down the road, because the fact that it's historians can change their minds i'm still waiting to see william henry harrison have his de, a short sweet presidency of 30 days, the shortest ever. and yet he's frowned upon by history you know what the fact is. 30 days, 39 days, whatever number it was, not quite nearly enough, but for an our hearts, boris, he'll always be the best president to serve only about a month. >> that's about right? harry enten, thanks for being with us. we'll be right back. stay with news central candidate john edwards cheated on his cancer-stricken wife, had a baby with his girlfriend, and th

have an image to show you the first state dinner ever hosted in the white house was by president ulysses s grant in 1874 for the king of hawaii. and obviously there are traditions that dictate a lot of the certain elements that you always incorporate in state dinners. but presidents and first ladies have an opportunity obviously to make each state visit their own, and they all have styles. we see the pomp and circumstance, of course of the arrival ceremonies. we don't know a lot about that process. you could share some of that with us. tell us how that how that works. and some of the decisions that you all made that went into your guest list or entertainment menus. i'd love to hear a little bit about that. gail, do you want to start with us, please, about i guess i see a lot of men in that photo, a lot of men at that at that state dinner. and as a matter of fact, it was one of the things i worked on. i kept a a list of of single women because every foreign delegation for a state dinner and they were about 15 and number they were only oh almost always men all men. so i would be heavy on men. so i

just ahead of woodrow wilson, ronald reagan, and ulysses s. grant.d last as the worst president ever. in the 6:00 hour, i made a mention of arthur." >> supporters call you? >> i'm waiting by the phone. i hope you'll mention franklin pierce at some point. >> i will. >> another overlooked president. >> yeah. >> tell us about this ranking here and why historians rank him 14th. pretty good. what are the reasons? >> i can make a good case for chester mcarthur. he is underrated. >> that'll be in the 10:00 hour. >> every president is appealing to two constituencies. one the american public. you can't be president without their support. the other is history. every president has his and eventually her eye on where they are in history and what mark they'll leave. this president saw himself as another fdr. we can argue about that, but he wanted to make his mark. to have this poll is gratifying. now, can you genuinely measure an incumbent president's place in history when he is not even done? of course not. it'll depend, in part, on whether or not he wins this f
