0:00 Hey everyone, I just wanted to give you a short history lesson here. This one is about, you know, Andrew Jackson gets all the fanfare about not renewing the National Bank and resisting all the efforts to reestablish it. However, I just discovered that John Tyler deserves a little bit of that credit. He ran as vice president with...
0:28 President William Henry Harrison, who only lasted in office as president for 31 days. Someone might want to go back and look at that. Because they all assumed when John Tyler switched to the Whig Party that he was pro-National Bank. However, and he did oftentimes talk about that as a non-president. Tyler actually shocked everyone.
0:59 when he vetoed Henry Clay's proposal for a new bank because they thought they had their guy in as president. And he said that, he being Tyler, said that it was an infringement on states' rights, that the federal government shouldn't actually have a bank. Huh. And he viewed it as unconstitutional. And here's his quote.
1:27 Before entering upon the duties of that office, I took an oath that I would preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. Entertaining the opinions alluded to in having taken this oath, the Senate and the country will see that I could not give my sanction to a measure of the character described without surrendering all claim to respect of an honorable men, all confidence on the part of the people.
1:56 all self-respect, all regard for moral and religious obligations without an observance of which no government can be prosperous and no people be happy, unquote. So he unequivocally said that he's not giving up his morals and honor to do something that was unconstitutional. That's crazy. Okay, and what we hear often about President Tyler in the fact that he was not
2:23 As a matter of fact, they called him one of the least memorable presidents we've ever had because they hide a lot of the information. And some of the information that they hide is the fact that he may have suffered the first false flag ever of a group of people trying to insurrect the president. So shortly after this veto, there was...
2:52 what was reported as the largest protest ever assembled in front of the White House. And they burned efficacies of President Tyler in the front lawn. It, according to Peter Sakosh, who was a historian, said that it had all the fingerprints of a manufactured event. Because if you go back and actually read the accounts of it,
3:19 The mob was supposedly protesting the veto of a bank. Most people didn't care. And they found that the majority of the people that showed up was right around 2 a.m. and they were all drunk. So maybe it just paid people to empty out all the bars and go to the White House. Who knows? And anyway.
3:47 Some of them were arrested, but Tyler insisted that they be released without prosecution because he felt that it was a form of free speech. Dang, these people actually sound like they knew what the Constitution actually said, unlike the people that we have in office today. So, Tyler would also veto a revised bill to recharter the National Bank when they tried it a second time. Quote,
4:16 all of the abuses of a private banking monopoly. So he believed that it would create a banking monopoly like the Federal Reserve. So he was dead set against it. So one of the newspapers called the Lexington Intelligencer quoted this.
4:44 was quoted saying this, the editor was, if a God-directed thunderbolt were to strike and annihilate the traitor, all would say that heaven is just, unquote. So he felt very strongly that we should have a federal bank. And of course, just, I had to look it up. The paper, the Lexington paper, merged a little bit.
5:12 in this close proximity with another newspaper called the Weekly Caucasian. They were all a bunch of Democrats and were very unscrupulous. We'll just say that. Okay, so, but it was ran by a judge, the newspaper. Tyler began receiving letters threatening his life and he is the first and only present.
5:46 to have all but his Secretary of State, Daniel Webster, resign in protest over him not opening a federal bank. I think it's pretty significant, and why don't we know this? He also was excommunicated from his party like it's a religious organization. The Whig Party basically threw him out.
6:16 And Henry Clay would declare that Tyler was a president without a party. He faced the actual real threat of being the first president ever to be impeached. But there was no support for that among the actual people or the representatives.
6:44 2014, Time Magazine said he was in the top 10 forgettable presidents, but I actually think that's wrong. I think we owe quite a bit to President Tyler. We just don't have real history to do that. Hope you enjoyed it.
