i still have friends trying to win the war, still talk about it, it doesn't make sense. and i can tell you, as somebody, as a press secretary, where my job was to do cleanup on aisle five when politicians would say dumb or crazy things, this one makes no sense. there doesn't seem to be any reason behind it. obviously, we can talk about history and andrew jackson and so forth, and i understand salena's point extremely well, but i don't understand why the president continues to go down either this rabbit hole or other rabbit holes that he goes down to. focus on jobs. americans are going to resonate with that issue so well. going down these strange rabbit holes just doesn't make any sense. >> you know, as a point of history, when andrew jackson was president, and he died 16 years before the civil war -- >> i was going to say, the timeline here -- >> he dealt with the nullification crisis with south carolina. south carolina looked to supersede federal law there was the idea of secession, but he tamped it down, but it wasn't about slavery. and andrew jackson was of course a slaveholder. maria cardona, is there much more to say about this? do you want to get in before we move on?
