but to do a little bit of background, let's talk about andrew jackson. that's a presidential presidential portrait of andrew jackson an illustration talk a little bit about jack sodium democracy. so we haven't talked about jacksonian democracy much yet. we're kind of coming out of the year of good feelings, and we talked about the market revolution, but jackson when he was elected president, he had won the popular vote in 1824, but lost the presid. a and the electoral college and in the house of representatives and so he ran for office in a sense for four years in the name of democracy and popular democracy. jackson was the first populist president in american history, and he imagined himself as a jeffersonian in favor of the yeoman farmers and in favor of liberty, but he's quite a bit different than jefferson in jefferson thought he was a little wacky i think so jackson thought that it wasn't the house of representatives. there was the most democratic branch of the american government. it was actually the executive branch even though the exactly of is o

june 22nd of 2020, 2 years ago this week, the mob tried to tear down the andrew jackson statue right in front of the white house petey remember this quest might no one else seems to. here is. [chanting] [shouting] [shouting] [bleep] >> tucker: raised a lot of questions, like where where the police? they had ropes were in front of the white house and no one was doing anything about it? there is a lot of blame to go around for that, by the way. a lodge. but that is not an insurrection? not if no one remembers it even happened and that is why that footage has been memory hold, that is what you haven't seen it in two that is why the committee in congress is not about an insurrection, it is about using the mechanics of the federal government, which you pay for, especially law enforcement agencies, to crash and silence anyone who opposes the democratic party and joe biden. that is not an overstatement. one political opponent the january 6th committee is a man called jeff clark, assistant attorney general during the previous administration peered before dawn on wednesday, which is to say ye

they're now protecting andrew jackson outside the white house. as opposed to, let's just let them take it down. there was push back in a vote in jacksonville for an officer to stay on the statue, too. people are saying, perfect people aren't necessarily on statues. if you want to qualify it, we're trying to solve this problem. this is almost a 50/50 vote. this has been percolating since about 2015. so i think this is somewhat of a step backwards, but for the most part i think there's a push back and preservation movement in american history. i'm hopeful this will continue. >> i knew you would be a solution finder. that's who you really are. >> thank you. >> intimacy coordinator. not yet, he's not. >> no. >> i just was inquiring about the qualifications needed. >> i'm going to a happy place. it's classy. it's beautiful. >> right. good job. >> just a little bit of news. a brand new show, tommy is fearless. look at her in that. premiering monday 7:00 p.m. eastern. tell us about it. >> so outtick is part of the fox family. i'm so happy to be the firs

andrew jackson was in the presidency in 1824 and loses in the craft bargain. martin van buren decides he's going to get jackson the presidency. what van buren was trying to do was to create a political party that could keep the civil war and happening. to do this by make sure could not the attacked even as the northern and midwestern states began to add more and more representatives to congress and later they would act on. how do we keep this from happening dan baron astinn is ap answer was -- we will buy these people off. even if you are antislavery we will give you a government job. you can just shut up and follow along. we called it the spoils system or patronage. as a result and van buren didn't get this because his goal was to keep the federal government small and the state stronger. what he he had done and in berkeley was to create a system in which the federal government began to grow with every single election. you have to give away jobs to get t elect did in the most powerful job and this is shocking in 1830 was the postmaster general of the united st

jackson's magnolias that flank the south portico just as a kind of way to promote the place where they come from and to promote the the beauty of the brands of the white house. so there is planning a tree wonderful. so click on the thing and now so yeah, so here. here we go. another tree related photo here. yes. now this is the president and mrs. nixon at their home in san clemente, california, which during this presidency was known as the western white house and this is on the grounds of their home. i have had i've had the great pleasure of actually going to that home when the nixon sold at a very good friend of theirs bought the home and still owns it and occasionally. we'll open it up for events. but also, 32 years ago when i was working on the original nixon library and was out there for some visits the owner gavin herbert and his wife dinetta invited me to come see it. it's just a spectacular place on a high bluff overlooking the pacific ocean. so this is this these pictures were taking i think in february, so the weather was a little bit in clement, but they got a lot of fun pict

jackson during the war of 1812 at the battle of new orleans. and they say that they should have the right to vote based on the fact that they are serving the country and that they pay taxes. and in one line of this petition they see, we are men, treat us as such. the petition has 1000 signatures on it, and 28 of those are veterans of the war of 1812. they can welcome to these two men into his white house office, and this is one of them. and i couldn't find an image of the other, and this is arnold. he welcomes them into the office and he says to them that his first job is to crush out the rebellion. but he said, if giving blackmon the right to vote became necessary to win the war, he said that he would support it. he said, for a senior reason why intelligent black men should not vote. but he said that voting was not a military question, and the civil authorities in louisiana should be dealing with it. but he assured them that if they could show how their request would help restore the union, it would have his support. well, burrow and written o

jackson runs for the presidency and 1824 loses in the corrupt. bargain martin van buren decides that he's going to get jackson in the presidency, but the story is a lot deeper. because you see what van buren was really trying to do was to create a political party that could keep a civil war from happening. he would do this by making sure that slavery could not be attacked even as the northern and midwestern states began to add more and more free soil senators and representatives to congress where sooner or later they would act on slavery. how do we keep this from happening van buren asked and his answer was money. will buy these people off. okay, even if you're an anti-slaver from pennsylvania, we'll give you a government job if you just shut up and follow along with the system. we called it the spoils system or patronage. and as a result and van buren didn't get this because his goal is to keep the federal government small and the states stronger what he had done inadvertently was to create a system in which the federal government began to grow

tennessee was the state of andrew jackson. on the other hand, during the war, lincoln had appointed johnson to be the governor. he had not done a good job of it. he was not perfect but he did a reasonably good job which was better than other experiments that lincoln has done -- in fact, johnson himself had addressed delegations of black tennesseeans, promising them that i will be your moses. i will lead you to the land of freedom. they thought oh, if what we are trying to construct is a ticket that is going to appeal to democrats, andrew johnson is our man. johnson gets the vice presidential nomination. the pollsters go up. i have a copy of one of them, national union ticket. you see abraham lincoln and andrew johnson. for all practical purposes, the leadership of this national union is still the republican party. who is kidding who? it is representing the is a very aggressive pr effort on the part of republicans to make a bipartisan appeal to democrats. so they run as the national union party. is it really a third party? no.

andrew jackson later said that he was as much a source of constitutional interpretation as the court. richard nixon dithered we don't he there was no taping system by then and was never any taping system in san clemente, but there's none at all in 1974 and he's in san clemente and it's clear from the timetable. he did it for a few hours and had to be convinced. i by al hague largely i think to to accept what if he had not accepted. because we saw in 2020 what happens when the president does not accept that he's lost. while nixon accepted and we know it followed. so the character that person sitting in the oval office is extraordinarily powerful and that means the system is not as short up and strong as one would imagine. so that leads me to think is the lesson and i'll turn this into a question, but the lesson about watergate for an increasing number of americans that nixon was weak. he wasn't strong enough. well my fear is that that people like roger stone made that argument donald trump, you know, and of course tim and you and i are particularly sensitive this based on who worked on

you had andrew jackson doing it. you had thomas jefferson doing it. john adams wanting to do it. of course washington doing it from the very beginning. it is hard to listen to republicans who have done what they've done over the past five years by lying through their teeth first, saying, oh, they couldn't let merrick garland on the court, it would undermine a rule and lying through their teeth again after rbg died, and said, oh, well, we're going to just change the rules as is. it's hard to take them seriously, isn't it, when you start talking about maybe expanding the court to 12 to represent a country that has over 320 million people now that i'm sure has at least doubled, perhaps tripled in size since there were only nine justices put on the supreme court. and by the way, i just want to say this, harry, really quickly, just for twitter. i've been saying this for some time. so this isn't a reaction to roe. i have been saying for some time that it makes no sense to only have nine justices with over 320 million people out there. you can check it. i have been saying it for two yea
