"You are. Hey, what's up? I was wanting to know who was the that first incarcerated, president in other words, put in jail, immigrants coming in from the Mexican border. Probably Andrew Jackson. Because I was in a conversation with a Republican who said it was Obama. No arresting people who are in this country illegally goes way back. I mean, 1924 was when we got the first real immigration law. But 1886 was when the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed and they were arresting Chinese people back then. So, and you know, I when said Andrew Jackson, it was sort of half tongue in cheek. I'm not sure that I know that there was some immigration policy during his administration. I just don't recall the details of it. But you know, the point that is always made by Republicans, Fred, is that, you know, President Obama was also incarcerating children at the border. And it's true, but he wasn't separating them from their families the way that Donald Trump did. There's always some small number of children who come over all by themselves. Typically, they're young teenagers, sometimes they're 10, 11, 12 years old, you know, but without their parents. And the Obama administration was gathering them up, just like they gathered up else everybody and processing them, which involves sticking them in a cage for a while. And so Republicans point like to to that as if it's the same thing as tearing babies, nursing babies from their mothers, and then selling them into a so -called Christian adoption network that now no longer exists. And there's thousand over a children that got sold into this Christian adoption network that have vanished, literally vanished. It's like apples and oranges, but this is the sales pitch that Republicans have. Thank you, I appreciate that. I do know that this particular woman, the second I mention anything good about a Democrat, she starts screaming at me. Yeah, yeah, you've got somebody who's living inside the Fox News bubble. you But know, yes, Obama did put some children, immigrants in cages and no, he did not tear them from the parents to get them there. These were kids who came over the border all alone. And I guarantee you, if he had not put them in cages, at least long enough to process them, the Republicans will be squealing about that too. So it's like, you know, heads I win, tails you lose from the GOP's point of view. Fred, thanks for the call. Tampa, Ken in Florida. Hey Ken, thanks for listening to WMNF. What's on your mind today? Hey Tom, thanks for entering my call and keep doing what you're doing and all that stuff. But I want to make sure that sometime during your comments on Medicare, people may not realize it because I didn't realize it until I was taken for two months. But Medicare D as in Daniel for prescriptions is operated totally by insurance companies. That's correct. Yeah. And I say they did not tell me to sign up. They cost me $30 a month because I hadn't supposedly had coverage for a while, which is bull crap. And then stalled me on a couple of medications because it wasn't the one that they wanted to sell. That message is back from that doctor to get a new prescription, which costs, uh, they are a ripoff.
The Garden Question
A highlight from 124 - Sculpting Nature: The Legacy of Frederick Law Olmsted - Kirk R. Brown
"The Garden Question is a podcast for people that love designing, building, and growing smarter gardens that work. Listen in as we talk with successful garden designers, builders, and growers, discovering their stories along with how they think, work, and grow. This is your next step in creating a beautiful, year -round, environmentally connected, low -maintenance, and healthy, thriving outdoor space. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or an expert, there will always be something inspiring when you listen to The Garden Question podcast. Hello, I'm your host, Craig McManus. It's been over 200 years since he was born. People still absorb his parks and public gardens in more than 5 ,000 communities across the North American continent. The goal is to give the common man in this new world the same opportunities to experience creation as any king in his private preserve in the Old World. Frederick Law Olmsted is prevalently pronounced the father of American landscape architecture. In this episode, Kurt R. Brown interprets Frederick Law Olmsted. Kurt is a member of the International Garden Communicators Hall of Fame. He is a green achiever being recognized with many industrial awards. He represented Joanne Kostecki Garden Design as a leader in the design bill industry. At America's oldest garden in Charleston, South Carolina, he worked as national outreach coordinator. He is the past president of GardenCom. In the U .S. and Canada, he's delivered hundreds of keynote addresses, guest lectures, teaching symposia, and certified instruction over the past quarter of a century. He's also known to interpret historic horticulturalists and international dignitaries as John Bartram, Frederick Law Olmsted, among many others. He still finds time to cultivate his own private display garden. Join him now as he unveils his views of Olmsted. This is Episode 124, Sculpturing Nature. The Legacy of Frederick Law Olmsted with Kurt R. Brown Interpreting, an encore presentation and remix of Episode 63. Mr. Olmsted, would you take us back to when you were 36 years old and tell us what was your most valuable mistake up to that point? I sometimes have problems remembering what happened yesterday. Remembering what happened when I was 36 takes me to a point in time where I felt that I would never wake up, that somehow whatever hope I had of being properly engaged in an adult employment was never going to occur. However, it was at a time when seemingly everything in the world that I had touched or attempted had turned to dross. With that, when you are at the bottom, looking up from the bottom of that big black pit that you feel yourselves in, God smiles sometimes. And when he smiles, he puts in front of you an opportunity that unless you'd been in that pit of despair, you wouldn't think was a positive. I went over the brink of bankruptcy with a publishing company that my father had financed to put me on my feet in the world of communicating, largely garden communicating. But in that day, when publishers have cash in the drawer and decide that it's better in their pockets and they skip town, I was left holding an empty bag. When my sanity was at risk, there were a group of friends, Dutch elders from the state of New York, who looked at me in my circumstance and they said, without much thinking about it, we have a job for you, sir. And this was from Washington Irving, whom you might have heard, James Hamilton, the Cooper Hewitt later, and David Dudley Field, among many, many others, they said in response to my question, what is this job all about? They said, we believe that from your practical training as an agriculturist, from all of your horticultural writings, from your talents and from your obvious character, I took them at their word on that, we believe you eminently qualified for the duties of the Office of Superintendent of the capital T, the Central Park of New York. They wanted me to be a crew leader of one of the largest public works projects that had been undertaken since the construction of the pyramids. They thought by giving me this job, it would put my feet under my own table and allow me to support the family that I had inherited and adopted after my brother's death. So you see, this is a laugh because being a construction foreman on a landscape project the size of Central Park allowed me into other rooms and gave me the ability to meet other people, most notably among them, Calvert Vox. Of course, from that participation, from that connection, from that wonderful start at 36, climbing out of the black pit and going on into the greater international world of garden design. That's how you find me, sir. From that point till now, you have to consider all of the other doors that opened, designing the country's first great urban and public park. It was a democratization of space. That's the most important aspect that we were driving. All of the big parks of the old world were private preserves, were aristocratic in their founding or country homes of the elite and money. They were not open to the general public. Here we were designing a space, an urban space of green that would allow people at all levels of income to rub elbows and participate in a great and refreshing space. Out of that, the other things that came to my table were the obvious connections of making plans for residential subdivisions. I was ultimately asked to design a world's fair. And in that regard, I was one of the few who designed a fair that actually made money. Mostly the cities in which the Olmsted partnership worked were green belts. It wasn't just one isolated urban jewel. They were a necklace. They were a green necklace surrounding all of the major cities in which we did work, involving and parkways park sides with garden views. And with all of that, the infrastructure that necessarily came along with the design was an increasing awareness of public health and sanitation. I was also involved at the beginning of the American Red Cross with standardizing field operations, with organizing national outreach and coordination, and with putting women in nursing wards. I was also there at the beginning in trying to inventory the natural resources of Yosemite, and that began the National Parks Movement. I also encouraged managed forestry. I was the first person here in this country to hire a forester to help develop plans for management of 137 ,000 acres in Biltmore, not less. Governor Pinchot, as he later came to be known, was the first man that held the post at the National Center where he managed the national parks and forests. I was always involved in garden communication. I was a syndicated New York Times columnist. I was an abolitionist. I believe strongly in the development of cemetery arboretum where families could mourn the death of their loved ones. And I was the first one to be recognized for the design implementation and successful development of riparian restoration using early sustainable practices, because overarching all of these individual jobs, I believe that environmental health was also humanities welfare. Eventually, many of the things that we did for the first time or did for all of those who came later to ask us to repeat our success, eventually we codified most of the things that we were doing, and we were there at the beginning writing a syllabus for the American Society of Landscape Architects when Harvard graduated its first class. That's the beginning. And through it, we've tried to reach a point that you can look back and decide whether what we do, whether creating public parks, whether recognizing national parks, whether doing things as a green infrastructural implementation, whether that is garden design, whether it is landscape design or whether it is landscape architecture. I have certainly left the responsibility of that to all of the generations that came since the implementation of Central Park of New York. So let's look at the Central Park of New York. Where you started to turn around was when you got the job as superintendent. How did you make the jump from superintendent to being credited as the designer and builder of Central Park? I would never accept that title. I was mentored by a man far greater than I. His name was Andrew Jackson Downing, and he lived upstate New York. The concept of Central Park and the concept of public urban horticulture was his. He was the first man here in this country to successfully write that there was a model to be offered and followed in the development of landscape practices. He wrote and published a book in 1841 called A Treatise on the Theory and Practice of Landscape Gardening. It was his idea in the 1840s what he called the picturesque landscape has great advantage for the common man. The raw materials of grass, water, and woods are at once appropriated with so much effect and so little art in the picturesque mode, and the charm is so great. You'll recall that 200 years ago I was born. It was also the same year that Napoleon died. There was a great turning where people decided it was no longer appropriate to design landscapes in the French style. The formality of trimmed hedges and topiaries and the development of boxed and hothouse grown examples of tropical horticulture. What they wanted was a natural or romantic view of the world. Downing's response to that was his development of the picturesque here in North America. So while the international turned on what was their term called romanticism, Downing's belief was that it needed to be picturesque. He brought a man from England who was just spectacular with the development of line and architectural standards. His name was Calvert Vaux. So we had Calvert Vaux doing all of the housing plans for Downing's models. Downing began a magazine called The Horticulturist where he promoted all of the values of horticulture and agriculture, how to design, creating a design for living. He encouraged all of us to plant spacious parks in our cities and unclose their gates as wide as the gates of mourning to the whole people. I was a very small part of the initial concept when they were looking for the construction foreman. Downing had been killed in a steamboat accident on the Hudson River. While they were searching for the plan, they had more than 30 proposals submitted for what Central Park was to become. Calvert Vaux had a concept and he asked me if I would join him in its presentation to the committee. My thought was that a proper city park should provide escape from the city. We solved all of the inherent problems of the design so that nature of the space would be one of unending vistas of green and the lawns would seem to go on forever. With Vaux asking me to be a partner, at that low point in my life, my answer was an unqualified sir, this partnership is on. We called our design and our proposal Greensward. I would still think of it with that name. Of course, everyone else has just taken it to heart and made it Central Park. I was 36 years old. I had a neighbor in Hartford as I was growing up and then on the speaking circuit in later years and Mark Twain, you might know him as Samuel Longhorns Clemens, said that age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. What were some of the challenges in the implementation of the Central Park design? The money was coming from Albany and the old Dutch money that still remained somewhat in the Tammany Hall organization of downtown New York politics would get their hands on the money before it would feed through to enrich, encourage and grow the project. The old Dutch burghers wanted an honest man as the paymaster. And so at the end of those long days, I was the man handing money to the day workers with cash on the barrelhead, paying them for moving the hundreds and hundreds and millions of cubic yards of soil that was transported to do those effortless looking hills and dales and rambles that became Central Park. The park itself is a democratic development of the highest significance. We can never, never, ever forget that public urban horticulture is that. It is the extreme expression of democracy. And simply put, we were looking at the three grand elements of Downing's definition of picturesque or pastoral landscape. Those three elements remain the same today as they were then. The symphony of grass, water and woods joined together with many, many artificial tricks of the trade into one uncommon space. At Central Park, we also added what would be in our concept the only sculptural element that was to be included in the final design. That was the Bethesda Fountain. With Bethesda, we wanted it to be similar to the quote from the New Testament, John chapter 5, verse 4, for an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was made well of whatever disease he had. This becoming a place of union for all of those tired and poor of the city who would otherwise not have a green space with good public water. It became that, certainly, after the Civil War and even up until these days when the symbol of the fountain, that angel of the waters that was given to the first woman who ever won a sculptural commission in the city of New York later to become angels in America. Through all of this, that symbol of health and well -being has been guarded through all of its artistic progress. What other, as you referred to them as, tricks in the landscape design were implemented in the park? There were requirements, as most things are. They had to have cross streets, but we didn't want to interrupt the view of green. We sunk the roads, and it was unique in its concept because all of those cross streets that were mandated in the design brief were not seen once you were at grade or at the park level, so that all of the sheep's meadow and the grand lawns of Central Park were seemingly undivided and the cars would travel underneath that layer. The other thing was fresh water. The 800 and some odd acres of Central Park had to include what was an existing reservoir. The walk around the reservoir had to be included in the acreage, and to do that, we made the north part of the park into what I called a ramble. If you take the word ramble, it puts me back into my childhood. I had rides with my father and mother in the woods and fields. In those days, we were in search of the, well, the picturesque. Any man then who sees things differently than the mass of ordinary men is classified as one who has a defect of the eye and a defect of the brain. Who would think that you could move mountains to create a distant view while the cross -street thoroughfares of a major urban environment would traffic unwitnessed with the calm and peace of nature around you? In later years, it gave the common man access to a broader world. In the early days, when the park first opened, what we discovered is that entrepreneurs of the city would get a chance to meet and greet people who were not of or in their class, and everyone came together on the lake to ice skate. That had never been accomplished in an urban environment before, where the lowest and the highest achieved self -standing stature over a pair of ice skates. What other ways did you incorporate the blending of the classes? There were several types of road. There were access roads for tradesmen, and then there were the carriage trade highways that would tour the park and allowed for another whole type of merchant in the hiring of horse -drawn vehicles that are still there, conveying tourists into and around the park today because of the way the layout was designed. We also included space for a zoo and for ornamental horticulture in the display of flowers. It also gave space for the Metropolitan Museum, and then as you'll see over all these years, many, many other opportunities for people to regard themselves highly by installing other busts and portraiture. There's Cleopatra's Needle, which was that large obelisk that came from Egypt that has its own following up above the museum. It's all part and parcel of creating the ambiance of nature in an artificial way. You had some experiences of your own in a walking tour in England. How did those influence your view of design, and how did you take those and implement them in the park? The only difference is that in England, what we were looking at in the assortment of grass, water, and woods was that most of the developed areas were done for members of the aristocracy. They were country homes at the time. Previous generation, they were landscapes designed and achieved by Lancelot. They called him Capability Brown. Those assortments of grass, water, and woods were no different in concept, really, for the public parks that we were designing. The only difference is that in public funded projects, they had access for people of all social classes. There was no admission, no gate. I've heard it said you become who you hang out with. Tell us about some of the people that you have surrounded yourself with.

"Scott here with another episode of the history unplugged podcast. The creek war of the early 1800s in the United States was a series of small battles that massively altered the course of early American history. But began as an internal conflict among the creek Indians spread like a cancer. Creek war of 1813 to 1814, shattered Native American control of the Deep South and led to the trail of tears, which the government removed the southeastern Indians from their homeland. The war also gave Andrew Jackson his first combat leadership role in which he started as a general in the Tennessee militia and ended with a major general's commission in the regular army and command of the vast military district that included New Orleans. Jackson gained a well earned reputation as a brilliant harsh military commander who could keep his army together, Yahoo the reach of a supply chain and others failed, but also incredibly cruel. Today's guest is Peter cousins, author of a brutal reckoning, Andrew Jackson, the creek Indians of the epic war for the American south. We look at the battles themselves, how Cherokee, who fought for Andrew Jackson as an auxiliary unit, ended up accidentally winning one of the most important victories, and how the creek war opened the Deep South to the cotton kingdom, setting the stage for the American Civil War. And how no single Indian conflict had such a huge impact on the fate of America, hope you enjoyed this discussion with Peter, causes. And one more thing before we get started with this episode, a quick break for word from our sponsors. First off, let's lay the groundwork for North America and society or societies during the creek war. We should first start with the creek Indians because we too often lump all American Indian tribal societies together, even when they're radically different. So listeners, if the Comanche and the cherokees occupy the same space in your brain, that's probably a good sign you need to read up on more tribal histories of America. Let's focus on the creaky Indians themselves where they lived their society and most importantly, the internal divisions in their confederacy at this time period. The creek Indians were, they called themselves the most gogi, as they do today, but then they creep was given to them by the first settlers and traders with the encountered, and they actually have adopted that name when dealing with whites. The creek Indians were one of four tribes living in the Deep South at the time of the war of 1812, the numbered approximately 25,000 people know what know is precisely how many. And the territory that they claimed assisted of all of modern day Alabama as well as at this time they'd already seeded summer of the land by treaty in Georgia, but they still claimed approximately one third Webster, Georgia. So there being a tribe of 20 some thousand people, the land that they occupied was vast, and it was right in the art of the south. The creek confederacy, it was a confederacy in the loosest sense of the word. The cretes lived in what they call a tall wise, which were villages, but actually more than just villages, because wheat owed their primary wages, not to the overall federacy, but to their particular village. And oftentimes, the towel was acted on their own. Even so far as making war on other 5s, and most tattooing in terms of internal affairs, and it was difficult for all the tile was throughout the Greek confederacy to come together, and act in an so you have a tribe of approximately 25,000 people, great out in village of the located along the major rivers in modern day Alabama and western Georgia. They were largely combination of agricultural people and hunting society. So they lived both off the hunt and agriculture and permanent villages unlike tribes on the great plains that Rome, they lived in fixed villages, many of them aided back the precursors dated back nearly to the time of the Spanish took peace about us. And that's an important point because there is a long tradition of trade with European settlers. And that's part of what causes division and society. So could you mention that? And these different factions that are created within creek society. Certainly broadly speaking, the American traders first carolinians and later Georges Georgia was bound getting settled by English in the early 18th century. But that first contact was in the letter half of the 17th century colonists and it was these Kyle the college who they sort of artificially divided the crease into the upper creeks and the lower Greeks. And that was a reference to the location of the Paul was relative to the trading pass that the Europeans took to reach the Indians, but does artificial division actually became quite real and its implications because the upper creeks lived farther away from white settlers, white traders, and were less influenced by them, and their society remained more purely Indian than that of the lower Greek soup began to adopt European dress, some agricultural methods even safaris as holding slaves. And so you had kind of a rate between the tower was the constituted lower Greek says the state modern day southern Alabama and western Georgia. And they offer greets to occupy the most Alabama Alabama. And this division was disaster over time, largely as when the United States was born, the American Indian agent for the southern tribes, the Greeks. Tried to convert them to a white style cultivation using less land and giving up the hunt and entirely. And that exacerbated tensions as the lower creeks were more amenable to that as they had had more contact with the whites and the upper creeks. So by the middle of the 70 heinrichs, he started to see growing tensions between the upper and lower towers over the question of whether or not the stood accommodate he's got to change is that we're being asked so that the other main figure in your book is Andrew Jackson. And it's worth looking at not only him, but his background because this can speak to how he decides to conduct himself during the war. Andrew Jackson, unlike the other early American presidents, is not of puritan background, like the atoms or Virginia backgrounds like Washington and Jefferson. He is of scotch Irish background. Another settlement group in the Americas that settles the appalachians is of a much more shall we say, warlike disposition. And he is from a society that lives in some sort of equilibrium, but is adjacent to the creek people. So could you describe his background but then also this shall we say equilibrium with the scotch Irish settlers and the Greek people in the 18th century? Right. Andrew Jackson was born in the western Carolinas on the western border of north and South Carolina. He

Newspaper articles from the era, as opposed to secondary, which would be episodes of history that doesn't suck, or American scandal, it's a telling by a historian. So everyone, I'm actually going to kind of invert your question there, Lindsey. The thing I saw the most in writing those episodes was everyone aligning themselves with the previous generation's heroes. So William Jennings Brian, one of the very fascinating to me, kind of a sides was how he leaned on Andrew Jackson in his cross of gold speech. And I don't think that this is just my reading in the present. I don't think many people when they reflect on Liam Jennings Brian think to themselves, you know who he reminds me of? Andrew Jackson. And yet, that's precisely the figure that William Jennings Brian points to to try and elucidate his good ideas to try and connect with his audience. And when we pause and think about it, it makes great sense. Andrew Jackson's the start of the Democratic Party, willing James Brian. He's running on the democratic ticket. It's only been a few decades. There's a natural connection there. Andrew Jackson spoke for a far more common people that was what brought in the fears and trepidations of John Quincy Adams and his crowd was that the republic was being watered down as they saw it from an elite republic entrusted to wealthy white men to now being expanded to include these poor farmers who could not be trusted with the vote. When you pause and take that in, you can kind of really see, okay, right, that's where the connection's at. All of them, just as everyone will point to the past with fears, they also all find a way that they connect to yesteryear's heroes. Sorry to take your question another way. That was just the thought. No, no, no. Well, now I've got all sorts of weird questions about gold and silver specie. Between Jennings Brian and Andrew Jackson, because they both had to deal with with weirdly, here we go. They had to deal with rocketing inflation and currency manipulation pretty much. And this trying to manage a national economy through a Central Bank. Brian's cross of gold speech is one for the ages, but it's weird, it's monetary policy. So it makes sense that he would point back to Andrew Jackson, the father of the Democratic Party. And so on a populist. And someone who dealt with bimetalism himself. Right.

Larry Schweikart Discusses His New Book 'Dragonslayers'
"So you're the author of this new book, dragon slayers. So has Abraham Lincoln, Grover Cleveland, my man, Teddy Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. So and thank you, police promote it. It's a very interesting take. It says, you basically 6 presidents and their war with the swamp. So the way we define the swamp on this program is the fourth branch of government, the deep state the unelected, right, kind of the German historicist model of infiltrating the constitutional order with the subversive suppressive group of people that are always trying to have their agenda implemented. How would you define it? Well, I like Bannon's definition, which is the administrative state. And it was started early on, it really starts with Martin Van Buren. One of the people in the president more than almost anybody else in history because a president that's right. He was the 8th president. Right. And as I said, he stepped on the stage just collapsed. Massive financial panic, the minute he became president. But he had created a spoil system to protect slavery. And this is why I try to insist to people, you know, the Democratic Party was created and founded and formed for one purpose only. And that was to protect and preserve slavery. That was the entire basis for which Van Buren and Andrew Jackson create the party. And to do so, they set up a system whereby loyalists to the party would be rewarded with jobs, but we called the spoil system or the administrative state because you got to put these guys somewhere. So you put them in bureaus and agencies and so on and so forth. And up until the time of the Civil War, this wasn't a very big deal because the Democrats more or less had total control of government for about 30 years. But then Lincoln gets elected and everything changes. Because now it's sort of like Trump, the wrong guys in charge of this giant apparatus that we built and could be a real threat with it. So I deal with Lincoln's war with the slave swamp, which was also known as the slave power conspiracy. And it was very real. It was a real group. And he was a genius in how he and the other Republicans of the day figured out, you know, slavery is not in a

"Fairly significant on the Republicans not to get in the way But they're just going to watch the Democrats fumble until the very last minute and then from a board That's what I think is going to happen But Americans don't like the idea of raising taxes spending lots of money and having a skyrocketing debt or deficit even if they don't quite understand the relationship They know that they don't want that to be our constant situation Wendy I want to go to your academics and I want to dovetail to Greg grand and it yells great work He has a school down to the coast Wendy if you're not aware of that And I want to talk about the threat of democracy that's out there in the zeitgeist And the new jacksonian American with former president Trump or if he doesn't run with the new Republicans what is the flavor of our new jacksonian America for our democracy Tom that's a great question but there's a inherent contradiction there because what Andrew Jackson did that was so brilliant was expand the suffrage expand the electorate He pushed state legislatures to allow more people to vote He got legislators invest in the idea of state based parties political parties and sending the nomination process out to the nation making it more national because the elites in Washington had blocked him So that's expanding the suffrage expanding the vote having more people participate The Republican response I'm not sure I call it a Trump response because he's out of office but the Republican response now is to limit the suffrage to try to make it harder to vote to try to limit the number of people who can vote That's not Andrew Jackson He didn't see it that way He said get everybody in there and then persuade them that you're the guy So I think that Trump will ride the protests with the Republicans are doing to some extent but his motto and what he did in 2016 was bring more people who had not voted or hadn't voted recently into the electorate And that's the Jackson model Wendy thank you It's been too long Come back soon When it should have that of Brown university and Lisa Wendy's right we spend every single day talking about the number You and I have joked all morning about the range Been $2 trillion wide and Wendy is right to point out that we don't spend enough time talking about substance and blaming the party for that Let's be clear about that Not blaming the media coverage but blaming the party for that that they themselves have become obsessed over the numbers And when you ask them about the plan they say we need to pay for child care We need to pay for workers rights We need to pay for healthcare Broad topics but the nitty Gritty actually is where it matters If you can understand the line items perhaps people will be willing to pay for them So what do we have We have a range of 2 trillion Tom 1.5 out to 3.5 and we have a date now The end of October apparently I think the date that matters is the first Tuesday of November 2022 and John and all that discussion the two of you had that good discussion You just said you never mentioned the bridges of tunnels the rest to me That's where all the focus That's what Wendy's getting at though Tom Yeah The focus has got to be on the substance and they need to achieve by the midterms Not just about getting the bill done Given that stamps sealed approved side Tom I like watching that work again I like what a Liverpool's doing They're building the stadium around the presence And at the top end still That's infrastructure Nice I do love the hand motor Hand.

The US Courts Conform to the Clambering of the Chattering Class
"The courts conform to the people now. This is something that we as conservatives. Don't talk about enough. We think that the courts are going to make sober and fair and unbiased decisions regardless of the clamoring the chattering class hamilton. Never thought never thought this isn't the case he wrote about this in the federalist papers and you wrote about this in his private journals and alexander. Hamilton is actually a ghost rider for a lot of george washington speeches in a second term of his presidency. Now the idea of judicial review came in thanks to marbury versus madison. Which really kind of enshrine this idea that. The supreme court is a co equal branch of government. The supreme court has the ability to have a check and balance against tyrants and dust spots or unconstitutional measures when the legislature as we've covered extensively in a previous episode of our podcast. Joe biden has just basically said. I don't care if the supreme court says i am going to do. What i believe is right let roberts sent his army. Let marshall sent his armies.

The American Whig Party
"S weren't important time in american history. I've touched on this area in a few previous episodes in particular the one on the election of eighteen. Twenty four and on the six political eras in american history episode by the time of the eighteen. Twenty election the federalist party had completely fallen apart president. James monroe literally ran unopposed for president in eighteen. Twenty four all four. The candidates for president who received electoral votes came from the same party. The democratic republican party after this election the democratic republican party to fell apart and they were replaced by democratic party which was led by andrew jackson. This is the direct descendant of the modern day political party with the same name in eighteen. Twenty eight the incoming president was john quincy adams and he ran against jackson but the party. He was associated with wasn't really an organized party. It was alternatively called the national republican party the anti jacksonian party and the plain old republican party although this was not related to the modern day party jackson dominated the political landscape during this era from eighteen. Twenty eight to eighteen thirty six. He was president and even after his presidency. He cast a long shadow over american politics. The opponents of jackson were at i simply known as anti jacksonians because they were united in their opposition to jackson. It wouldn't be correct to say that the anti jacksonians were simply a revival of the federalist party. By this time there had been a complete realignment. In the american political system some democratic republicans went on to form the new democratic party but some also became anti jacksonians. The beginning of the whig party began with the nullification crisis. Congress had passed a series of tariffs in eighteen twenty eight and eighteen thirty two which dramatically increase the taxes on imported goods. This was vehemently objected to in the south which called it. The tariff of abominations as the south was highly dependent on agricultural exports

Few Funerals Match President Andrew Jackson’s Fowl Send-Off
"Jackson was laid to rest at his tennessee home. The hermitage on sunday june eighth is funeral was attended by three thousand mourners. Who had come to pay their respects to the man they revered despite his many moral failings parades were even held in his honour. Presbyterian minister. Reverend william menefee norman's presided over the services. At least he was supposed to. Another mourner named paul had chosen. That particular moment to unleash a series of vulgarities offending everyone within earshot. It wasn't as though people hadn't heard them before. Jackson himself was known to curse up a storm when upset or frustrated however a funeral was no place for such sentiments even for a man as colorful as andrew jackson after several minutes of interruption. Paul was escorted from the service to another room. According to nor he had grown excited by the number of people gathered and couldn't help himself missy. Paul had grown up in the jackson home having been adopted in eighteen twenty seven and became like another child to rachel jackson andrews. Wife rachel died a year later in eighteen. Twenty eight paul was then left in the care of the rest of the family. After mr jackson's inauguration in eighteen twenty nine the president never forgot about him though and often asked how paul was doing in his letters home. Once jackson returned home after being president he spent much more time with young paul. Who picked up on every word that came out of the man's mouth. Eventually paul took to repeating everything he heard and oftentimes that included swearing like a soldier to anyone and everyone inside the house. It's not clear how long paul lived. After that in the wild they tend to have a life span of twenty three years in captivity however african grey parrots can live as old as sixty. That's right paul. Was the only parrot ever forced to leave a president's funeral for hurling offensive words the guests now. That's what i call foul language.

Yes by another road Congress against President Andrew Jackson. A future Congress would repeal the center. And where is it written that censure can bar President Trump from holding future office. There is no such language in the Constitution. I'm sure Chuck Cooper Somebody'll figure out a reason argue for it. Don't want to pursue this because you see it never ends so they don't have the votes. First of all, they're violating the Constitution. As I speak. They intend to violate the Constitution again and then they're being advised from something.

I have some feelings about. I don't know. Democrats even remember their own history. But there were no repercussions in history against the Democrat Robert Byrd, you know, for his previous expedition leader to Cook's son and white supremacy. He even formed his own group in Sofia, West Virginia. Prior to his being elected in 1952, and then after he was elected, he was in the first He was in the house representatives, and he was in the in the Senate. But when he was elected, then he kind of distanced himself from the from the clam. And you know, he went on during his time in office to the most power he would be. Most powerful member.

This, uh, this email, which I received Which is full of negativity and hate. And you know how I revel in that. I mean, it is it excoriates me for wanting Andrew Jackson off the $20 Bill. But it happens that we get that e mail on the day that we I Call out the San Francisco school board for this ridiculous pulling names off of different schools. Everybody from Lincoln to Washington toe Robert Louis Stevenson to Roosevelt. I don't even know what Roosevelt they were canceling. They just wanted canceled. So it's not as though I want to cancel everything. But Andrew Jackson is a heinous figure in American history. And I give you a little bit as to why yesterday and it provoked this email. So I will share that. But right now we have a special guest. You know, Uh, I can't think of Any time where I want to ask a doctor a question more frequently than I do during this cove in time. You know him from ABC seven. Hello, Patel. He is the doctor in residents. Hailo Halo heat in here. That was quite the intro. It must be like walking out dancing or something. We're going dancing, right? It's very funny. You mention this. I want to get into the medical stuff. But Brett did mention and you know you are kind of cool looking on the air. I was saying If you watch Dr Patel, he's just got a cool look like he's the kind of guy you'd cashed him in. Like the cool medical 18 type show, you know. I mean, like you get that. Yeah, they pull up in the van. You know that slides open and a guy like Patel would jump out. You know what I mean? So anyway, putting some sort of advantage slides open. That sounds like a kidnapper. That doesn't sound good. Yeah, well, that was 18 thing. I didn't come up with the van thing. That was their thing. The van, but you're right. It took on a different Why didn't it? Oh, he looks like he's had He's bought Some game stops his shares before. Yeah, that was cool enough to be on ready and, you know, shortchange those hedge fund owners. But oh, man, I've got more. I'm gonna follow up to that if you've got time today, But I did hear that You're a break dancer, though, and quickly you still you don't seriously still break dance, break dance with your kids or something Now still in or what? Oh, I moved. I'd still like to make sure I have my high school party tricks. And every now and then I could be found in the hallways of my building or any living on shore faxing to maintain. It just maintained. I can't. I can't put on a show at Union Square anymore, but I can I can I can hold my own in the wedding. Well, did you really perform in Union Square? Oh, he's gonna pay no attention to bread, huh? God, our God is fantastic. Yeah, Brett is a bit colorful, but that's what makes him charming. So Dr Lo Patel. Tell me First of one of the questions that I've repeatedly been looking for information on and that pertains to the different strains of covert that are now finding their way to the U. S from South Africa from the UK and whether they will be responsive again. I know you can't know for sure. But based on what you've seen, Will they be responsive to the vaccine that we're all hoping to get? And as of right now, the famous question is what you just said in the unfortunate answer is we don't know, however, that the gastric it does look like they will be. Responsive to the vaccine. Right now, you know, Madonna put out a kind of an early study, which means it's still needs toe pre print, which means it needs to get period. You'd find this thing to look it over. But it looks like the most daring A vaccine can still cover the two major strains. That's the one coming from the UK One coming from South Africa. One thing that people need to really understand, though, is that we still think that these strains are more contagious mean that they can spread to more people. And there's early signs of the South African strain may actually more infectious as well, You know, give you more sickness and more daring even mentioned. That in. It's a blood sample for people who got the vaccine. They made less antibodies against the South African variant. It was still protective, but that that's kind of a concerning side, you know, and you mentioned Brazil variant that one's also out there. Is also a variant in California alone, because remember when vaccines are propagating, they will make a tiny little mutations to out compete one another to bind to ourselves better to be able to infect more the population and I promise I'll stop talking after the next sentence. But if you think about right now, let's say they're more infectious, but they're not more dangerous. Well, even right now, 12% of people are dying and you infect another 1000 people. You're ultimately you get more debt, So it is a warning sign for everyone out there. So if you get the vaccine, can you still infect others? Are you still potentially a carrier? You. You know that We're gonna hopefully get some more data about that. Now, if you look at what scientists speculate it should the vaccines should actually limit how much you are actually transmitting. Virus. However, we don't know for sure yet, which is why that anyone out there who gets the vaccine, including yours truly is still recommended to go through all the normal precautions to make sure we're not spreading it because it is still possible that you could be an asymptomatic carrier. But again, you know if you're in asymptomatic carrier, it's also possible you're carrying less of a viral load. So more people out there get the vaccine and you know they're not one protected against severe infection, but they are carrying it on a smaller level will ultimately get that herd immunity and reduce the spread. Talking about Doctor Look, Patel from ABC seven. And if you have a question for him for 15 80 88 10 if you wanna texted, and I'll try to get it in. Yeah. Jeff in Petaluma is asking about the vaccine and people who have allergies like penicillin. I wouldn't think that if you have the penicillin allergy that it would apply whatever. I wouldn't And I respect the fact that bread is a brighter Jeff from Petaluma Zef in Petaluma. Yeah, yeah, Bread is the one that made my break at the U. N square. Just Petaluma. I respect you ask the question, though, because I think A lot of people see these headlines out there saying, you know, severe, Alex reported. You know severe an awful Axis reported in this one case, and it's important people understand that we have now given out Something like 17 million and the numbers around their vaccines, and we only have about 11 and 12 reported cases of severe allergies. That's an awful axis and the on Lee time that you should be talking. Your doctor about an allergy to one of these vaccines is that you have a history of an awful axis at the severe life threatening allergic reaction to another vaccine. And even in that situation, you're still most likely able to get this shot. But again for everyone out there. This is why anywhere you could get the shot between now and when we're out of this or in pandemic, you're still going to be you know, under medical monitoring for that 15 of 30 minutes after you get it, regardless. To get it at a CVS Walgreens at a pop up vaccination center at Dodger Stadium or at the hospital. Uh, there's another question about first of all, Let me just handle this is to the kind of stuff I let me do. This was we had you just Yeah, I'm from the 65. Listen, why is it OK to call it? The Brazilian variant South African vary in UK bury it, but not the China virus. Okay? The reason is because I didn't call it the China virus or I didn't call it the Brazil virus. We call it the vary it was so we said you could even call it the variant that comes out of China. The covert variant the covert virus that came out of China. The Wuhan I even believed you could call it the Wuhan. Virus, and there would have been no harm in it. But I understand if it was, it was leading to blow back in terms of violence and threats against Asian Americans. Oh, my God. Well, then you can't call it that. I mean, it's crazy that we live in that time, But that's just my opinion. Here's a question for the doctor just texted 770. Shut up. 77 no question for the doctor. I think the covert 19 now this is kind of one of those Deep staying on. All right. Here you go. Uh, question for the doctor. I think the covert 19 is destroying our herd immunity the vaccine, they must mean..

"Bill Handel here on a Wednesday, January 27 some of the big news we are covering. Thebes Biden administration started today It's thrice weekly. Press conference. The briefings that they're giving all of us and we're going to see some real science being produced and also the Biden administration now, saying that by next week there'll be a 17% increase in the vaccine, so they're moving ahead like crazy. Something is going on, which will happen probably within. I would guess this year and that is replacing Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill with Harriet Tubman. And why? Well, because he Andrew Jackson is a little controversy about his presidency. He was not known as being well, let's say pro black. That was not what he was given credit for. And in this day and age. Come on. Really? Are we gonna have that Well, in reality is and you know how much I hate political correctness. I think this is a correct move. Harriet Tubman is a genuine hero. Now you know how I hate using the words hero. She was instrumental and running the underground Thea Underground railroad prior to the civil war, where she would take slaves. And help them go north, and she did it dozens of times at incredible risk to her. And she was almost caught half a dozen times, and she's kept on doing it and doing it. And when you talk about civil rights leaders, you go back to those days where she would have been hanged. If they caught her. And she just kept on doing it. And so they're talking about the government is talking about Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill, which absolutely is appropriate. A black woman. What she did for Americans. And that came in this case. It was slaves s 0 100% now. I'm going to give you a little bit of history Is this handle history time and we're gonna go through the money and who's on what? And why. Who's on first Who's on second? What's on third? My some of the Probably the most notable ones that will know immediately And then there's one you've never heard of. And I'm gonna throw that at you. And it's a handle history segment. A little tidbit. Um, Abraham Lincoln on the penny. 1909. It was when that kicked in, and I was the first time on a coin that the motto in God we trust ever since then, it's been on every coin, the nickel, Thomas and Thomas Jefferson. That was 1938. When that Woz issued and it was designed, it was an open contest to see who has the best design And it was a public contest. And the winner was this guy, Felix slag. Not that you care. And that replaced the Buffalo nickel. S so now we have that particular coin. Thomas Jefferson. The dime. Franklin Roosevelt was on the dying. And that happened in 1946 in honor of his death in 1945, and that replaced the mercury dime. When I talk about the old replacement, anybody who collects coins will know immediately when I'm talking about in terms of replacement and Everybody thinks that it was in memory. It's of his passing. And it was a dime. No, it was because he and the look for looking for the polio vaccine. Talk about vaccine. That program was called the March of Dimes. And school kids all over the country donated dimes. By the millions of dollars and we're talking in the Depression. And in during the war, and it really is about the march of dimes and how involved he was in it. So it was more of that particular campaign. George Washington, Of course, the quarter dollar minted 1932 and that was his 2/100 birthday and The $1 coin. Sacha Julia. It's a friend of mine. Every time quarterback is sacked, screams Sacha Julia, which I think is just the greatest line in the world. And she is Sacha Julia, of course, helped Lewis and Clark go across the western part of United States. Thomas Jefferson sent them out. And it was she was part of it. She was the guide, and she is the only woman she's native Americans still on there. The $1 bill. Well, you know, what do you think? Of course. George Washington. Uh, that came about in 1913 with the Federal Reserve Act. That's when the feds the Federal Reserve came into being And so that's probably the most famous bill we have George Washington, and then I'm gonna go into a few other bills because this gets really interesting. $5 Bill Abraham Lincoln 1914. And while they're figuring out who it was, they had a transitory period. Where you had everything from everybody from Alexander Hamilton to chief Ona Papa to James Garfield. Until finally the bill Where was decided? Abraham Lincoln Incidently. That portrait here is a fascinating little bit of history. That portrait of Abraham Lincoln is actually based on Mathew Brady's portrait. The photograph that Brady took in 18 64. $10 Bill Alexander Hamilton, not a president. But Ah, he is given a lot of credit because Alexander Hamilton was the first secretary of the Treasury and he actually established a central bank. You know, at that time he talked about this. When the founding fathers got together, there were federalists, and they're effectively Democrat Republicans, which were state's rights guys. Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, Sam Adams, particularly were federalists. And they wanted a stronger federal government. And why a state's rights such a huge part of American history and the Constitution, the 10th amendment. Why, because of the state's rights people on and were dead set against a Federal reserve, a federal Central bank? Well, the Federalist one. We have a central bank and have from literally the earliest days. And that was Alexander Hamilton that put that together. All right, $20 Bill Andrew Jackson soon to be gone. It will be replaced by Harriet Tubman, and it was totally appropriate. 2016. It was announced that she would replace Jackson. But Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said Now we're gonna wait until 2028 for security reasons. I have no idea what that means. In the meantime, by Demas Biden administration is going the other way. All right, I'm gonna go through a couple of other ones. The $50.100 dollar bill, and those were easy. And then a little bit of us currencies and faces who are on those bills that you have never heard of. Guaranteed. This is K. If I am 6 40 live everywhere on the I heart radio.

Treatment has to be that easy, and so far, it's not. Unfortunately, he's got lots of stuff on his plate. Biden does. He's got take naps every once in a while, but he's working hard to get Harry. Tubman. Harry Tubman's name was served first floated in 2015 was asked. Who do you want to see on new currency? She was on there. Eleanor Roosevelt was on there. Rosa Parks, I think was third on the list. Uh, Evonne Goolagong Gone was fifth. Kidding. I just like saying her name and now tennis star. Glad Harriet beat her out. Just gotta write Don't know. Treasury Department is taking steps to resume efforts to put Harriet Tubman on the front of the new $20 notes. It's important That our notes are money of people don't know what a note is, reflect the history and diversity of our country and Harriet Tubman's image gracing the new $20 note would certainly reflect that. So we're exploring ways to speed up that effort, But any specifics would of course, come from the Department of Treasury. And displaying our heritage. And and, uh, that woman I love about her. She acts like you know, it's great of a Jen. If they every day is her first day on the job. The What do you talking suppose Oh, smooth. She's such an improved, she said. She went to circle back. Well, when she gets asked a tough question. You will see how she does. No, no, no. I mean, she admits that though right up batches listen, there'll be times when I don't want to answer a question that you're gonna ask, and I'll do it politely and You know, try to explain why, But anyway, go ahead point. So Roosevelt. I mean, Trump was first. They were sort of wanting him to put it in place. He did want to take Jackson off. The 20 and presents too politically correct. Put him on a to put her on a $2 bill. And then he said, I've got an idea. Put her on a $25 bill. Let's create a whole new type of money. We'll get a whole new thing. A 25. So throw her on a 25. Jackson stays on the 20. And everybody would be happy. So so what? I think, Joe, But do you have time? No. What I love about this story is that the original plan was to replace Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill because nobody knew who Alexander Hamilton was. Then five years ago, Lin Manuel Miranda rights this huge Broadway smash hit, and now everybody wants to rally to the defense of Hamilton. Oh, my God! Hamilton. We know now who Hamilton is so they decided to go after Andrew Jackson and ironically enough. The big hero for Donald Trump. I don't know if he Donald Trump knew who he was when he was growing up, But once he became president, he said, Hey, he's a lot like that outsider. You know that populist Andrew Jackson that he clung to Andrew Jackson, and so that had real strong political effects. I think it's the perfect compromise they're going to. If they do this, they're gonna put Harriet Tubman on on one side and they're gonna have Andrew Jackson on the other side. So it's not as if you're if you're an Andrew Jackson fan, you don't not. You have to completely despair because you'll be on. I don't know if it's the backside, but you'll be on the other side of the bill with Harriet Tubman. So they're so they're splitting the difference. I think that's a Solomon esque compromised. John. That's crazy. Well, I like it. I listen. Andrew Jackson, kooky guy. He didn't even like the banking system so he would probably if he came back from the dead. He would hit people over the head with a stick. Like the fact that this guy runs up to him and goes to kill him, carries out of his mind accused Jackson of being involved with the British or something like that just fires off the guns. Once it misfires goes to shoot him a second time misfires or jams a second time, Mrs Jackson and then at that point, Jackson takes his stick and starts beating the hell out of the guy, and they have to pull Jackson off of his will be would be Assailant and the guy is a rush it away. Jackson's been on the bill long enough put Harriet Tubman on their big fan of hers. I love the fact that she good, always packed a gun saved a bunch of people. There's some people coming out, said No, no Jax ever heard Tell he's not the right person because she was anti capitalism. She didn't like capitalism to have her on U. S. Treasury dollar. Is it would be an insult to who Harriet Tubman is. I haven't heard that. Come on. That was one argument against her on there. But letter beyond put her on there. Would you do with old Harriet Tubman? Which is his younger Harriet Tubman. What would you be? Oh, well, you know, I mean, she did have multiple lives. I mean, first, you obviously was a slave. Then she escaped and helped slaves escape from the underground railroad. But then she joined the Union army. So she was one of the few women that were, you know, in in uniform. Uh and leading leading troops and stuff so there could be all sorts of versions of.

We're having The latest stage of a debate that has raged for years and years of this point. Over whether or not we should replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. The proposal is to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill with Harriet Tubman. Harriet Tubman, the slave who escaped and got lots of other slaves toe to be freed as well developed the underground railroad supported John Brown, who was great abolitionist. And so therefore we should put her on the $20 bill. I'm against this idea. I'm not against this idea, because I don't like Harriet Tubman. Harriet Tubman is a very admirable American. I'm against this idea. Because of the Political message that the left is trying to push with it. And the conservatives are acquiescing to I would say most conservatives, I know are four, replacing Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill with Harriet Tubman specifically, and the argument usually goes something like this, they say, Well, Andrew Jackson's the founder of the Democratic Party, and Harriet Tubman's a Gun toting Republican, so Yeah, fine by me, folks. That's okay. That's kind of what you hear in the general. I'm kind of conservative blue check Mark. Uh, Feel However.

He put the kibosh on it Now it seems to be speeding up again. So why is that? Why is it that the Democrats are pushing the gun toting Republican and the Republican is defending the founder of the Democratic Party? Well, What people will tell you. Usually leftists, but I suppose some conservative stew will tell you is the reason that anyone would oppose this idea is because you're a racist because you don't want black people on money. That's why I write and there it is there. Aaron is and I think a lot of the reason that Republicans are so quick to jump out and say no, I'm for it. I think it's great because they were doing the thing that Republicans always do, which is trying to prove to the life that we're not racist at. Which is a fool's errand because the left first of all the left harbor is much more racial bigotry than the right Does what I think That's what that question At this point. They're instituting legal racial discrimination on the left. But also the left doesn't care. They don't care that we're not Racists or bigots or whatever. It's just they're just using it as a cudgel. Weren't weren't we're not, you know, bigoted butt. That sort of beside the point. We're talking about this issue here. I think what the moved to put someone on the bill is for is largely to get rid of Andrew Jackson. Andrew Jackson has been much maligned in this country over the past couple of decades, and Republicans have gone along with it, You know, sort of cynically. They want to prove they're not Racists, I think, but also because He's the founder of the Democratic Party. Andrew Jackson is a great American. He was a hero of New Orleans. He was an important president. He was a good American leader. He had many flaws as do we all and great men have great flaws. But The attack on Andrew Jackson is a way to attack our traditions and our founding fathers and all the great men that we've revered. They always go for the easy ones first. I mean, the people who are pushing this, aren't they don't care, Man Area dumb. Prevent identity politics. And we give in on this because we all like Harriet Tubman. We're giving them this premise. When we replace I am a great American Andrew Jackson. We've failed to defend more broadly or American tradition. Don't do it. Don't fall for it. It's It's a trick. I mean, I get why Political correctness has succeeded. I get why the left has been so successful in the cultural front for the last 50 years, Certainly, and really, for the last 100 years. Is it so subtle? It's so hard to defend, but I think I think we should. Speaking of These sorts of putting people of various backgrounds on money should remind you, by the way it's not is that we don't have women of color on money Secretary I just mentioned we had Pocahontas on money is early in 18 65. We had our own banknotes is really is 18 65 not not Elizabeth Warren, who would not be a woman of color, but the actual Pocahontas. Well Speaking of Pocahontas, and these tedious racial politics, Disney Plus is banning classic movies from young audiences audiences under seven, namely the people who watch Disney movies. Which movies Dumbo, Peter Pan Swiss family, Robinson and the Aristocats. Why you ask well because of political incorrectness because of racism. Here's why your kid can't watch Peter Pan right now on Disney, Plus quote the film portrays native people in a stereotypical manner that reflects neither the diversity of native peoples nor their authentic cultural traditions. Chose them, speaking in an unintelligible language and repeatedly refers to them as Redskins an offensive term, according to White liberals, but not not really deemed offensive by Indians themselves. Peter and the Lost boys engage in dancing, wearing headdresses and other exaggerated tropes, a form of mockery and appropriation of native peoples, culture and imagery. All of that's gobbledygook, and it's completely meaningless. Culture. Requires appropriation if you want to become cultured You need to appropriate different aspect of culture. You need to.

"Dickinson read An excerpt from Shirley Chisholm is memoir on Box and on Bost. American idea of going on the campaign trail has evolved over time. Today, we might conjure images of candidates eating fried foods at the Iowa State Fair or making gaffes in Michigan. But believe it or not. In the early 19th century, we didn't have airplanes or Twitter. Not to mention Iowa or Michigan. Back then the whistle stop tour was just taking shape and the breathless sort of journalistic coverage we enjoy now just wasn't possible. Give you a sense of how far things have come in terms of coverage and the tone of that coverage. Let's revisit the contentious campaign of 18 28, John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson engaged in a bruising contest full of accusations of bigamy, cannibalism. And worse, broadsides were more likely than objective reporting, and the press often felt like partisan propaganda. The following are excerpts from the pro Adam's newspaper National Journal on the pro Jackson Telegraph. Deal with one of the tamer accusations of the day. And Andrew Jackson was nearly illiterate. The National journal. Mr Adams is a scholar. Is he to be superseded by a man of no education? Mr. Adams is a state Smith. Is he to give way to a mere soldier? Mr Adams has been bred in the Cabinet or in the school were national laws and interests are objects of study. Is he Make room for a man bread in the camp experienced only in civil Broyles and who has resigned every civil appointment on account of his admitted incompetency to fill it. I imagine that was written by an angry, judgmental mustache. And this is the telegraph. History abound, with splendid examples of men remarkable for great qualities who could not even read their own language, much less write it with accuracy but to argue against the presumption of General Jackson's fitness for the presidency because he cannot spell his absurd. We care. Not if you spell Congress with the K. He may not withstanding, understand the rights and duties of that body or of the people or himself as well as if he spelled it correctly. And that presumably was written by a sentient hickory stick. So maybe journalists do a bit more of Journalism on the trail these days. Still, as you can hear, some arguments about a candidate's fitness for office have remained pretty much the same. It's too bad because if we could agree on a basic presidential spelling test Primary season could be a lot shorter. When we return hundreds, Thompson.

Coronavirus task force holds first briefing in months as cases hit record high
"The United States about to hit forty thousand new corona virus cases today. The first time that we've had that many one day, the death toll in the United States closing in on one hundred twenty five thousand people, but if all you did was listened to the president and vice president today, you would be absolutely stunned here what I just said because this is what they said. Today? All fifty states and territories across this country are are opening up safely and responsibly. Well, that's incorrect. It's factually incorrect. They're not I mean eleven. States are currently on pause. Some of them are actually backtracking and closing some things down on plans to reopen Texas and Florida specifically. They are rolling back reopening plans governors of the other nine states. They are not moving forward with the next phase of reopening. So that was incorrect, and then the vice president went on to make this claim. The truth is we did slow the spread. We flattened the curve. So he says we flattened curve, so let me just show you America's curve. So you see, the surge right and then in in March and then you see the plateau. And then you see. The jump there at the end where we are now getting to fifty forty thousand cases today. That was a plateau, and it's on its way back up and I want you to compare the graph to these other graphs. These are countries around the world right? They have that surge at the beginning the UK Germany France Italy Japan South Korea European countries measured in thousands of cases Asian in hundreds, but look what happens at the bottom. They go all the way back down and stay that way. Ours never went down right, and now it's going back up currently with the same steepness of slope as it did at the beginning. And yet the vice president was taking a victory lap during today's briefing and he made sure to credit person number one. Under the leadership of President, trump is the president's made clear credit I believe to our president of the president made that decision. So, where was the president during this briefing while he was somewhere in the vicinity, but he was on twitter, talking about confederate statues, tweeting this image of people suspected of trying to vandalize statue of Andrew Jackson and what he was writing was that many people in custody with many others being sought for vandalisation of federal property in Lafayette Park Ten year prison sentences. It was hours later that the president did finally say something about the pandemic. That's amazing raging right now in the United States like nowhere else here he s. We have work to do that. We'll get it done. while. That's an understatement it. We are learning tonight that people traveling from the United States most likely will not be allowed to even enter the European Union. Banned, because the United States has gotten the virus under control Kaitlan Collins is out front. She's live outside. The White House Tonight Caitlyn. No briefings for eight weeks the White House. Felt like they had to do something here, but then they came out and said everything's opening you safely and responsibly opening fifty states. When that's just you know factually untrue. Yeah. It wasn't the message that some people were expecting the vice president to project from that briefing today after Wednesday's coronavirus task force briefing, and after you're seeing these numbers from this week including yesterday setting a record high of cases per day since the month of April, of course, which is the last time that they had these coronavirus briefings now you would that they would have. have taken more questions. The vice president instead of Aaron only took a handful of them, but before he started taking questions, you saw him arguing saying that he doesn't want the American people to think that because of these new surging infections that the United States where it was two months ago, even though the case numbers per day or mirroring that or beating it and. And of course, the vice president went on to talk about what precautions Americans should be taking. He ticked off a list of things that the CDC has recommended. But Aaron he notably left out wearing a mask when a reporter asked about the fact, that mask have become this political issue. He then only told people that they should be following local or state guidance ignoring the. The fact that the CDC a Federal Agency of course, has recommended that people wear masks when they are out in public, and within the vicinity of other people. He also defended those rallies that he and the president have been holding and encouraging their supporters to come to where thousands of people are put indoors with very little social distancing errand by saying that it was people's. People's right to the first amendment characterizing it more as a personal decision than something that they're organizing and urging people to come in to attend, but I do want to note to striking things that came out of that briefing today was the vice president offering a pretty rosy assessment of these numbers, and then Dr Falcon getting up there and having a very sobering warning. What's to? To come and personal responsibility and this, but also Aaron the vice president saying he believed it's an arguable that the reason that there are more cases in the united. States because there's more testing Dr. burks got up and she was going through these slides and one of the ones she pointed to was Texas where it showed in May as they were increasing testing their positive. Positive test rates were going down in the last two and a half weeks they continue to increase testing, but now those positive test rates Aaron are going up, and that completely refutes with the president and the vice president have been telling people and governors for the last several weeks. All right, thank you very much. CAITLIN absolutely makes the crucial point. Right the percent test rate. Rate is what they're looking at twenty percent of them. Positive that that's that's the relevant point. It's not the absolute number and Caitlyn I. Appreciate Your Time, so let me go now to Dr. Sanjay Gupta and Dr Jonathan Reiner. Who Advise the White House medical team under president? George W Bush currently in Cardiac Cath lab at Gw so so sanjay the vice president today. Came out and presented an alternate reality. he said all fifty states and territories. This country are opening up safely and responsibly. That is quote obviously the have double digit states halting stepping back. They're reopening all together big steps back. Yeah I mean. I. Don't even know where to begin with this particular briefing. You know you think two months. We haven't had a briefing. There's obviously some real trouble spots in the country and I'm. Saying that almost euphemistically I thought there was going to be an acknowledgement that look. We have some problems. Significant ones in here is our plan to address them. Here's what we're GonNa do we're convening the coronavirus task force to to address this? We didn't see that at all. I mean there's the last task force briefing. You can see what the numbers were at that point and obviously just see how the numbers have grown even over the last few weeks. Weeks, so it it it was it was a real concern, and there were a lot of things that were said that were just basically a whitewash of what's actually happening in the country, and that's what I think. Worries me. How are you GonNa fix the problem. If you don't even acknowledge it right well, that's the thing. If you're in complete denial about it, then you obviously don't have a plan to fix it because you don't believe it's their. Running when the president actually gave a nod to this this afternoon, his comment was making a lot of progress with the whole situation, but we have a lot of work to do but he did not attend the briefing instead he was treating about those confederate Mon. Monuments So, you know in the vice president. There was talking about all the encouraging news again. His words talking about Krona virus so. What do you make of this and I guess specifically the president's refusal to be there. Yeah the president. In a tweet about the monument seems to be more interested in protecting long dead confederate traitors. He is in protecting Americans right now. Yeah, I was really appalled. When the vice president today said well, we've all heard the encouraging news you encouraging news, really
