present in the 1920s harding has a vice president calvin coolidge and importantly his treasury secretaryndrew mellon who was a great figure from pittsburgh aerial banker. they put together a huge reduction in marginal tax rates. the income tax amendment i believe is 1913 the 16th amendment voted out at 7% when woodrow wilson left office it was over 70%. we went into a recession after world war i. those guys brought tax rates down to 25% and launched a tremendous prosperity boom in the 1920s. i am going to go one more on this. that is another of my favorite figures is ulysses s grant. he was arguably america's greatest generals are one of the greatest generals they still critique some of his formations at west point. grant as president also much maligned and my friend and colleague wrote a pretty good book as a matter fact. grantbo did two things economics things in his administration he never gets credit this liberal historians will never give him credit. they fact is grant end of the civil war income tax, ended it. aunt grant restored the green back to gold. : : : had massive wartime in

in particular want eisenhower quite reserved in private as he was in public in the same with calvin coolidge and the point is that if think harry, am glad you decided to open these things because this could be a revelation. why did you do it and he said well we are doing it for two reasons, number one, the oliver stone law, the net first of oliver stone was making his film jfk to get files related to the kennedy assassination open and he said that i was advised paralegal people that we might not only have a lawsuit of that time for any of the tapes that you deal with a assassination but also more generally so i talked to missus johnson i said, if a recommendation for which it can we keep these close or should they be opened. and she said, go ahead and open them. and essentially i'm proud of what my husband did and i know there will be things on them that i don't like because i haven't heard them but am confident enough in what linden did that more people find out about what he did both in the strengths and the flaws, the better which was just the kind of presidential relic you would want and

same with calvin coolidge. i said to harry, i am glad you have decided to open these things. this could be a revolution. why did you do it? and he said, we are doing it for two reasons. number one, the oliver stone, there was an effort after oliver stone was making his film jfk. to get files related to the kennedy assassination open. he said, i was advised by our legal people that we might not only have a lawsuit of that kind for any of the tapes that deal with the assassination, but also more generally for all the tapes. so, i talked to mrs. johnson. i said, you have got a recommendation for us, which is, should we keep these closed? or should they be opened? and she said, go ahead and open them. essentially, i am proud of what my husband did. i know that there will be things on them that i don't like because i haven't heard them. but i am confident enough and what lyndon did, the more people find out about what he did both his strength and his flaws, the better. which is just the kind of presidential relative you'd want. she showed amazing insight. not only changed history,

threat right there there slogan is a hundred percent americanism right to keep america american as calvin coolidge said in that election campaign in the 1970s david duke who was the grand dragon of the kkk and he would go to the border to carry out a clan border watch right. so saying that the us wasn't against borders and that the klan was going to be there to do it for the us right in some ways pre-saging the ways that republican polishes politicians today all make their pilgrimages to the border to talk about these issues around the border. so that's something that the kkk was doing 40 years ago, right? so immigration has been this fundamental issue for white supremacist for a long time, and i think that it's the that's the lens to understand why you have to understand our immigration restrictions in racialized terms in terms of why we don't and i think that we are often taught in schools that that kind of one of the normal things that states have is a border and has immigration laws and it just seems it's treated it's kind of the the racial aspect of it is removed and it's presented as if it's

>> good afternoon, my name is tracey messer, with the calvin coolidge presidential foundation. thank you for being here. one of my earliest memories of american presidents in technologies was going to disney world and first of all, wanting to go to the hall of american presidents, all of the things there. and true to form, when i went to the hall of presidents, mr. coolidge was there, in true character, remained silent. mr. coolidge had a lot of things to say. i am looking forward to the day that we may actually have hologram technologies that will be truly interactive. we can learn more about each of our presidents, and dare i say, there may even be a capability in the white house to summon up any one of the presidents, who may be a counselor in a time of crisis, when they have unique knowledge. so, do you know of any efforts, through places like mit, or other georgia tech, who are may be working on creating a holographic presidents? >> i will say very quickly, local projects is the interpretive firm where we are working. they did the green road rising, the tulsa race massacre

real chance to win the highest number of house seats they've had since 1929 going back to the calvin coolidge administration and look, the numbers are pretty clear. if they get 35 house seats it would give them that historic mark. if they get 29 house seats the highest total of seats since that big 2010 mid-term election. so the economy is driving the malaise we see throughout the country, inflation in particular. republicans are confident that they can set some records in the mid-term elections. >> bill: whacky things could happen in november. look what happened in texas on tuesday. i don't think the results of that special election have been fully digested yet, shall we say, josh. >> the hispanic vote is the second most hispanic district in the entire country and the republican congresswoman elect won it decisively. even if you don't see the swings we've seen in south texas, if republicans make even small gains with the hispanic voters across the country, there are a ton of battleground distickets that could flip just on that factor alone. >> bill: when she says it is uniquely american to p
