did calvin coolidge had jokes?e had remarks along the lines of congress is supposed to be engaged with legislation according to the constitution which could be some of calvin coolidge's signature dry wit but might just have been a straightforward -- did he have a signature dry wit? >> that would be a joke to joe biden who loves executive orders more than i think he loves legislation. you know what i'd hike to hear from joe biden tonight, how many note cards must he have in his pockets because like 10,000 note cards so he can know everybody in the room. the first amendment is in crisis right now. this is the least transparent president in modern history. half of americans think the news media is out to mislead them. and this president, i don't think has done anything to bolster confidence that he believes these reporters deserve his respect. i would love to hear him -- i would love to hear him say as i run for re-election i'm actually going to engage with you and not force you to submit your questions in advance. th

. >> we know since calvin coolidge, only reagan and nixon have held less press conferences it begs thestion f he's manufacturing the questions that occur, he's manufacturing, i should say the conference, how are americans supposed to trust him on the campaign trail let alone serving in the commander-in-chief office? foreign leaders certainly aren't going to write their questions beforehand. union members, crying families, grieving community members, the whole point is that he should have a spontaneity and ability to withstand what's happening in the present. you can't script four years of a presidency. >> well, i don't think he scripted the press conference. i think -- i suspect what happened is what kayleigh said is this reporter who has said they didn't give them questions so let's also trust the "l.a. times" and this reporter here said this is what i'm interested in asking. that happens all the time. let's also remember that question wasn't a particularly friendly one. it was one that said a biden administration policy was hurting the country that the man standing next to him is rep

democrats now have three candidates on their side and with this president taking fewer questions than calvin coolidgegetting to candidate biden might be difficult. maria. maria: all right. edward, thanks very much. edward lawrence. let's bring in our panel right now, joe and mark with me this morning. i've got to say, i did not think this day would come. he actually is run forge re-election, joe, even as 70% of voters say don't do it. we do not want joe biden to run. and i love this campaign, blaming the republicans for taking away people's democracy. isn't it the democrats that were working with twitter to try to suppress truth and amplify lies. i mean, the whole twitter files that we learned about, they also want to pack the supreme court. so who is taking away your democracy, joe? >> remember the 51 intelligence officers, maria, right, that was apparently were he coerced by antony blinken who is the secretary of state. so, yeah, not just the intelligence officers but social media as you mentioned, traditional media, all working to push joe biden over the finish line. i'm not surprised he is runnin

detail on this span of time from 1924 to 1972, it means he became director of the bureau under calvin coolidge and stayed on under herbert hoover, the dawn of the great depression. he was there under franklin roosevelt for all three terms of roosevelt's time, so the 1930's, the new deal, into the second world war. he stayed on through truman's presidency, the rise of macarthur's presidency -- the rise of mccarthy, the cold war. he was there under john kennedy and lyndon johnson and he was there under richard nixon and died at the end of nixon's first term. to understand that, there is some truth to the idea that hoover acquired power, used it ruthlessly, did not like his critics, went after them. it actually cannot explain this to her story, how he got his start, how he built that institution, the fbi, in his own image, according to his own priorities, and then how he stayed there for so long, not as one of the great villains of american politics. that comes toward the end of his life and was his dominant image after death, but as one of the most popular public figures in all of the united sta
