well, calvin. just raise your right hand and repeat after me. i calvin. i calvin. coolidge. do solemnly swear. do solemnly swear. that i will faithfully execute that. i will faithfully execute the office of president of. the united states. the office of president of the united states. and will to the best of my. and will to the best of my ability. preserve, protect and, defend, preserve, protect and defend. the constitution of the united states. the constitution of the united states. so help me god to. colonel affixed his notary seal on each copy. at 2:47 a.m.. calvin coolidge became the 30th president of the united states, the only president to be sworn in by his father. after taking the oath, the president and first lady went back to bed. the next morning. calvin and grace arose at 6:45 a.m.. calvin visited his mother's grave, and the last

so the people swore in calvin it. this is important not just because it was it was unusual because reflected. what we discovered was that quality of the presidency of coolidge. and he rode down the train to rutland. he became president and he served as a consort to two generally rigorous president. that is, he led with restraint and respect for the other two branches, he believed framers did not seek an ever larger government. so as president coolidge held the line on spending, you know that when he left office the government was smaller than when he came in. coolidge believed the framers didn't want the federal government to be burdened by debt. he'd seen what our study of what alexander hamilton had done with presidents in particular president washington. and so coolidge brought the debt down by one third. he the framers didn't want heavy taxation after our revolution was partially over over taxation. and so coolidge cut taxes as president he who holds american citizenship is the peer of kings. coolidge and he actua

in june of 1895, calvin graduated from amherst. in summary, calvin's upbringing and small america grounded him with many fundament values, which would serve as an excellent foundation for the rest of his life. the importance of ethics strong character self-sufficiency. pairing for others, having trust in others and community service were among some of these values. calvin reflected on his youth in his autobiography country, life not always have breadth, but it does have depth. it is neither artificial nor superficial but is kept close to the realities. i can think of many pleasures. we did not have in many nicest niceties of culture which we were unfamiliar with. yet if i had the power to order my life anew, i would not dare to change that period it if it did not afford me the best that there was and abundantly provided the best that there was for me. thank you. thanks. chris will now hear from adler, professor and chair of the classics department at the university of maryland. eric, thank you very much. in a speech delivered in 19

calvin and grace arose at 6:45 a.m.. calvin visited his mother's grave, and the last cemetery and the first couple departed for washington. 7:30 a.m.. the rest, as they say, is history. let's get a hand of the cast. thank you, friends. welcome, mr. vice president. my assignment from amity is to give a brief introduction. i i'm happy to do that. i'm an abiding fan of the vice. i think he will go down in history of one of america's greatest vice presidents. we've had some great ones starting with john adams and teddy roosevelt and harry truman. it's hard to think of any who has been more intensely tested than the vice president. we're to hear from. in fact, i met mr. pence only back when he was a congressman. i doubt he'd remember it. the encounter was on the sidewalk in front of the harvard club of new york. i'm not accusing just to be clear, not accusing mr. pence of having been in the harvard club. this was on the sidewalk he was with a mutual friend, as i recall it, steve forbes, which might be why when we were introdu

i tended to side with calvin's more than an calvin. more than his father. but but yeah, it was there. reading adam seaver. yeah. i don't need to. hi. my name is sophie share. i'm from north carolina, so a lot today. i really enjoyed hearing about sort of the values that made calvin coolidge and the founders so as stewards our nation. but a lot of times you've talked about how those values are becoming incompatible with our modern society and modern political stage. how would you propose that we as the upcoming generation of leaders integrate these core values of our most prominent founders and their successors into a increasingly modern and changing world, bring some of those values into world as we come into leadership. hmm. the i'll make a general comment just as a, as framing the answer, which the others will actually give. i think part of it is going back to this question about good reading and why coolidge is important in lincoln. what we have to understand the distinction here and when we use the word values, we are talking things that i value or you

and i think calvin coolidge would be one. we have some brewing today, which means there is potentially reliable calvin coolidge like states ship. >> you have mentioned the evolution of the presidency. what role as the primary system played in that, especially today? and how do we fix that? >> who was that for, me? >> i mean, i could. the primary system goes back 100 years ago but did not really take off until the 1972 cycle. if you don't know this, hubert humphrey got the 1968 democratic nomination without entering a single primary. they still had the party back rooms and caucuses and so forth. it is worth mentioning, how did coolidge and of being selected as vice president? he was actually among the six ranked candidates that the convention was actually considering in the old- fashioned smoke showroom way. he was already thought of as a person of national prominence for reasons already mentioned. you know, if you make a time machine and drop coolidge in today, maybe he doesn't have the ordinary sense that we now demand of ou

which was an antipathy to calvin coolidge. that is why, i think, he was so successful at his principles actually working and promoting some the greatest prosperity this country has ever seen. we forget the past. i like to say the only passages -- politician with convictions are in prison. if we do forget history, we will be doomed to repeat it. the principles never change. >> cal, you remind me of stan evans. it is a good thing republicans are pro-life because they spent so much time in the fetal position. >> that is a good one. i like that. >> having said that, i want to push back against even a little bit. i think we can conclude -- i think that would be the wrong lesson. it is one thing to say that a calvin coolidge today, just like a lincoln today or a washington today might well not get elected or be successful. it actually is precisely the qualities that i value most in coolidge, washington and lincoln. which is the qualities of the statesman that we need most. that will require certain amount of political accommodations

another demonstration of the character of calvin coolidge. by the way, harry was eventually elected mayor of northampton. although slightly exaggerated elected public life be divided, in my view, in two categories policy, development and service. the presidency on the policy development side of that distinction with the mayoralty being primarily on the service delivery side of the ledger, governors fall somewhere in between that scale. but i'll that discussion to overall two others. well mayor coolidge showed himself to be a very effective executive demonstrating trait traits that a national audience would later in his career. he was careful with the management of public funds when land from the town was sold to neighboring holyoke. he invested those funds for the future benefit of his constituent base to attract and retain good teachers. he raised teachers. he refused to go along with those who proposed building a new city hall because of its cost. and he fought against mandates from the state legislature, which sought to assume control over

calvin coolidge voted in favor of women's suffrage. in fact, coolidge became president of the massachusetts senate when the incumbent president of the senate lost his reelection because of his opposition to women's suffrage. unlike coolidge, woodrow wilson had opposed women's suffrage, even at the state level. not only in 1907, but years later as governor of new jersey and as president. wilson did not support women's suffrage at the state level until 1915, by which time susan b anthony was ten years in the grave, dying at age 86. and wilson didn't drop his opposition to the susan v anthony amendment until the final years of his second term in the white house. the fact that wilson opposed women's suffrage while coolidge supported it, highlights an important distinction. wilson's brand of progressivism came to define the movement, but he and many of the progressives that he appointed to his cabinet and his government did not include women's rights in their definition of progressive, nor did they include civil rights for americans. most p

calvin now. welcome, welcome. thank you. wow. i when i think about the the impetus that caused me to write book is quite personal. to be quite honest, it was probably if i wanted truly be honest. i don't think i've said this personally, but as as she just mentioned, i got my master's degree in computer science and a mid-nineties with a in a i with a specialty air. so you're talking about the and from that time we didn't do a whole lot of i, i it was it was a lot of, you know, i kind of stuff, but it was in order to say that you are an air person, you was a geek. so nobody raising their hands to be an air person. but i guess about or eight years ago i became a big around facial recognition and systems. so i was at that time for a facial recognition smarter cities organization. so when i make this statement guilt i've built lots of these systems that we're about. i'm a hands on is what i do. i mean, i'm not a not a reporter. i'm a journalist. i'm practitioner. i work with, apply, computer science and intelligence. so when i kind of

and calvin coolidge and mellon. the congress managed it every year in the 1920s and reduced the federal debt. so and the economy boomed. so much for stimulus so much for secular stagnation. the economy boomed even though they running a steady surplus and and reducing the debt inflation we have a little inflation now. we're all mad about it. nothing like 19 and 19. from 1914, the price level was 100 1918. it had gone to 150, 50% cumulative inflation by 21, 99.7 price level had some serious inflation. you know, we might have had 15% altogether. that was 100% 19, 22. it went down from 199 to 1, 70 and stayed there until 20. inflation was conquered quickly. the story is a little bit about the standard, but a lot about i am so i do the fiscal theory, the price level and we learned this morning how the budget act was the crucial action that gave people the government was not going to go down what was happening in europe, hyperinflation, when you tend to the many powers kinds of hyperinflation germany and austria we weren'
