once again, welcome to the city of taft. glad to have you over here.people truly understand what the petrochemical industry does, what petroleum does for them, day to day on every single day, it would just absolutely blow up some of the misconceptions. simply take a look around. if you're sitting in your living room and you're comfortable where you are, what are you wearing? are you wearing just wool and cotton? are you wearing polyesters and nylons and rayon? the oil and gas industry and the petrochemical industry create so many benefits, and all of these things that impact quality of life are things that people are taking for granted. man 2: they are essentially putting their heads in the sand and saying, "we're gonna drill, baby, drill until we can't drill no more, either by an act of god or because an act of government, and i think that's irresponsible. man 1: the quality of life in the united states of america, the state of california, the globe is going to be the marriage and the efficient use of all of our available technologies, but if we learn

charles taft, a military surgeon, the uncle of william howard taft, and another prominent washington surgeon, dr. albert king. they consult and basically what the three doctors ascertain is the president could not survive a carriage ride back to the white house. so they are going to make the out onn to carry him 10th street and find a venue with a bed to place the president and he even says twice to the guards -- because it was very crowded -- guards, clear the passage. he also says dr. king was on the left side, dr. taft was on the , withinde and he says 20 minutes of their examination, he was in the petersen house. he is carried across the street to the petersen house. the reason he ended up there, when they got out of 10th street -- which was chaos by this time -- there was a border on the yelledho basically "bring him in here." that is the reason that they brought him to the petersen house. he begins examining the present. the bed was not large enough for the president at 6'4". they had to remove the headboard and live the president diagonally across the bed. does a thorough phys

he is frustrated with taft. he says, i will run against this guy that i anointed to be the next president and start a new party. this is chutzpah. i will endorse women's suffrage. i will ask jane adams, the most famous woman in america, look her up, i will ask her to nominate me at the nominating convention. he is in milwaukee, wisconsin, which is a hotbed of socialism, republican-progressive politics. the university of wisconsin, did i mention that? the wisconsin idea, which is the picture of progressivism. it is the idea that the public university should be in the service of the state, right? it will produce experts, answers, and solve social problems. so he is in milwaukee, where he thinks he can get a lot of republican and progressive votes. he is giving a campaign speech, and an angry saloon keeper -- it is not hard to find a saloon keeper in milwaukee -- tries to assassinate him. his speech is so thick and so long that it protects him from the bullet, and he's like i am fine and gives the speech. true stor

we are joined by john taft. thank you for joining us at bloomberg.ing to figure out where all of the central banks are going at the moment. is it your impression that we are now in the position where we should anticipate cuts? the market is pricing them. i'm wondering whether investors are right. john: there is no question markets are looking to central banks in europe and the u.s. to come to the rescue if it turns out that trade policy, particularly in the u.s., ends up being more destructive to economic growth than it looks like it could be. there is no question that growth is taking a hit. we have revised our growth forecast for 2019 and 2020 down that. and possibly below there is good consensus that in that kind of growth environment, fed policy, which obviously ratcheted up interest rates last year, is more restrictive than it should be. markets are looking for any sign. he sought earlier in the week from chairman powell. you saw today from the european central bank, that central banks are aware of the situation. they're looking for data to conf

and that's the hope of the right 52, that eisenhower wouldn't run, that taft would win and taft would pull back what becomes the cold war internationalism that we know for the era and that's a great way to check our assumptions at the door and the sort of normative power of events, that this sweeping series of events and read back into it, and don'ty historians kind of recognize those grassroots people, it's a reciprocal relationship. they're talking to leaders who are trying to have serious policy positions, you can think back, the extension comes from the right. counterfactual. why didn't it? eisenhower said that election. would notd won, it have. anyway i see a question over here. >> really quick. just wanted to encourage the panelists to put the world at center of the story for a minute and if you did that, how might the papers look different? --particular for civilization as a society originates outside of the united states, in europe and latin america. so is that all relevant to the how presidents deploy and politicize those ideas? about howthinking you're dealing with audiences

we've had dewy against taft in the '40s, goldwater against rockefeller in the '60s.can party has always had factions. unfortunately the republican party has no faction today. it is entirely mr. trump's party. >> so do you think the republican party any longer stands for all the values you write about in this book? >> certainly not or i might not have written the book. this book is to say this is what conservatism has been, it's a dig need useful persuasion and it can be again. >> since we're doing the book club you've suggested recently that you think everyone should go back and read "all the kings men" it applies directly to the moment we are in now. why? >> it's the great american political novel and it is about populism and it is about an unhinged executive, huey long of alabama who in the novel is willie stark and it shows you what can happen when a leader, an executive, escapes all restraints and is a law unto himself. >> george will, i want to thank you for being with us this morning. if people have the internet go back, i did a piece once with george where i h

first lift the siege of gaza stop the israeli taft of our land resources and funds give us our freedom of movement and control over our borders and space territorial waters that cetera then watch us build a vibrant prosperous economy is a free and sovereign people thousands of palestinians are taking to the streets of gaza to protest against the plan to misstate is burned u.s. flags in the american presidents portrayed was marked with the words deal of the devil demanding a complete boycott of the bahrain conference of former palestinian education minister someplace i don't just simply doesn't care about palestine's interests but former israeli ambassador to the u.s. down the aisle on thinks the deal is a chance to finally reach peace. but the main concern is the surge would leave the fact that the army is bypassing the wishes of the palestinian people is bypassing the u.n. resolutions and is imposing the american and israeli reason for peace in which the palestinians will be seduced to accept a formula in which there is no state they would really be built over. the occupation that has

he was described by former president william howard taft as reflecting the brotherly love between north and south. in 1930, with economic collapse looming, president hoover hailed lincoln not as a great emancipator, but as a great moderator. his words, said hoover, poured their blessings of restraint on each subsequent generation. griffithame year dw used lincoln as a subject for his first talking thelma. and griffith, like a lot of artists in the 1930's, said he was influenced by carl sandberg and wanted to incorporate sandberg's work into what he was doing and even tried to hire call sandberg as a consultant on his film. ,ut sandberg was too expensive so he found somebody else to do that work. -- nonetheless, it griffiths' lincoln has nothing like the sandberg lincoln about it. he's a bland and monotonous figure in dw griffith's film. he is your standard issue, let's get everybody together kind of person. , griffither explained or lincoln made a notable attempt to be fair to the two halves of our nation. and like a lot of the abraham before a carrayed sandberg had been writing, lincol

what about reagan's "it's morning again in america"; or obama's "yes, we can;" or william howard taft's "america: it's what's for dinner!" ( laughter ) then-- he's known for his appetite. then-- ( cheers and applause ) oh, hi, jon. nice to see you. >> jon: hello "n." >> stephen: then trump float a new option to his audience. >> now i'm saying, what do we use as our theme, as our statement? so, i'm going to ask you to vote on it. ready? "make america great again." ( some cheers ) not bad, not bad! if i would have said that, three years ago, wouldn't be a contest, right? you ready? "keep america great." ( cheers ) >> stephen: getting an audience to vote for you is so cheap. the second thing always gets more applause. watch this. hey, everyone clap if you like vanilla. ( applause ) okay, not bad. not bad. now, clap if you like ulcerative colitis! ( crowd goes wild ) okay. "sorry, ben & jerrys, i have a new flavor for you." then trump brought it home. >> and together, we will make america wealthy again. we will make america strong again. we will make america safe again. and we will make ame

robert taft takes it on pretty quickly. really, for kirk, that conservatism, he gives us six in the book "the conservative mind," and he uses the term intentionally. his kind of a quasi-atheist at this point. he will convert to roman catholicism but not until august 1964. this is a long journey for him. when he converts to catholicism. his really kind of an atheist agnostic for most of his life up to that point, and yet, if you read those cannons in 1953, they sound deeply religious. they start by arguing we should believe in a higher power, we should believe in the author of the natural law. we should believe in the dignity of every person. in his second canon, he actually sounds like vatican, too. what he says could have easily been written by someone in rome 1962 and i can 65 during the vatican council. it's all personal and humane in the way he thinks about this, but i stress, and i think it is important to note that he uses the term canon because that meant a truth that was not easily defined. avoid a marxian program o

was it coolidge, taft, or grant?r in a moment. ♪ >> so, who was the first president to invite a professional baseball team to the white house? it's ulysses s. grant. the cincinnati red stockings, the first professional team, were grant's guests in june 1869. >> spring 2015, great barrington, massachusetts, and life's thrown florence sasso a curveball. she's in a feud with steve strommer, the genealogy instructor at her local senior center. >> and i went to the doctor. they doubled my blood-pressure medication 'cause i was so upset about him. >> she's taken a family heirloom, this 1860 baseball card of the brooklyn atlantics, which includes her great-great-uncle archibald mcmahon, and given it to steve. it may be the oldest baseball card in existence. and he's researching its value. but it appears to florence that he doesn't want to give it back. >> you went yourself to the gentleman's house to get it? >> yes. he really wanted to hold on to it. but i didn't trust him with it. >> so essentially, he was trying to help y

go online anywhere and now view the papers of a famous republican ohio senator, for example, robert taft, from their comfortable living room at home. or their local library, thanks to the funding grants, this organization has provided. the failure of congress to keep the authorization current has contributed to a strain in resources as might be imagined. the $10 million annual authorization in 1991 would be equivalent to $19 million today when factoring in inflation. reauthorizing the commission at $15 million sends a clear message the congress supports the commission's ongoing efforts to preserve important documents in our nation's history, and bring them online so the taxpayers can have easy access to treasured historical documents, as well as those of local resources that are so vitally important to local history. i am delighted to have bipartisan support with my friend and ranking member, mr. meadows in the subcommittee, and i would hope the committee would support this very modest bill, but with a big impact on all of our respective districts and states. and i yield back. >> mr. jor

taft highest score was of administrative skills for go lowest was public persuasion. total score 528 out of 1000. jimmy carter equal justice for all does that make sense? lowest score crisis leadership. there you go.
