against coolidge. one of the fascinating things about lou hoover, her letters to her sons which amity just quoted were indispensable to me because hoover himself, he wasn't an introspective type. he didn't keep diaries. he didn't write long letters to friends explaining how he felt about things. so if you want to know what the mood was in the family at any given time, you have got to go to lou, and lou's letters to her children and that's when you really see what is going on in the household. to an extent lou is a very good source but there are times she is a bit unreliable and this is one. because hoover was ambitious and he had started thinking about replacing harding in harding's first term. the moment cool lynn was elected, he was thinking when he would replace coolidge. he was an ambitious man. after the midterms in 1926, he started to actively organize a campaign team that, he did it in a stealth think way but he started to lay the groundwork for his own presidency in 1928, and he excused it to h

what about coolidge? only elected his first times so this is between the two men a very different type but she heard rumors pushing the president a little too much and said he she wrote in the family letter if anybody is persuaded he certainly would not do it directly or indirectly while calvin coolidge was thinking about it. and we are all distant tenuous of our vanity and pride so i thought that was very compelling that hoover would never plot against coolidge that one of the letters to persons but but then the long letters to friends explaining? so if you want to know what the mood was in the family go to do in her letters to her children then that is where you see what is going on in the household. to the extent one -- extend she is a good source but unreliable. because hoover was ambitious and had started thinking about replacing harding in his first term with that moment he was elected when he would replace coolidge and was ambitious. after the midterms in 26 he started to actively organize a campai

every tax cut we've seen all the way back to calvin coolidge has been beneficial for this country this will do the thing. dagen: john, stocks on a record breaking run the s & p 500 has had its best post-war bull market ever. it's more than quadrupled and of course much of that was under president obama but it's still going strong we created more than 2 million jobs in this country last year. does that help the gop? >> absolutely like seven straight years, six were under president obama 2 million jobs plus this economy continues and gary b. is right about two things. the left right now is talking from emotion they're not talking from facts when you don't have facts you argue with emotion. the rich are getting richer and the guy on the corner office is getting the tax breaks. truth is small business they will spend that money on jobs and other thing gary b. was right about is this benefits the gop. i'm not a fan of the gop. i don't think they have to be great, they just have to be better than the other side and i think they are better than the other side. they got the tax cut passed look

is right look at historical precedence, he forgot to mention coolidge in 24 and bush in 2001 in addition to kennedy and reagan. gdp went up every time and treasury revenue went up every single time. the deficit is a complete different question we're at 19% of gdp for tax revenue. the economy can't take any more. the fact these congress cannot stay within the budget is a complete separate issue. you give money back to americans , gdp is 70% controlled by consumers, you'll see it in the economy and people's pocket books. dagen: lee the reason the republicans didn't do it is because they need to get to that 60 votes and that means getting democrats on board. >> [laughter] yeah i don't know how that's going to happen but i'm all for the tax cuts being permanent except i believe that we have to make sacrifices in order to make it happen. we can't just not make the cut backs. i know we're talking about gary b. is talking about putting the pressure on. we need to put pressure on and hard to see those be made and i think it will benefit the economy but not happen unless we make sacrifices. dagen

business interests don't forget it was i think an american president very honest man called calvin coolidge american business so the american military industrial congressional complex cannot stop it's almost spastic spasmodic it starts it has a business objective it wants to make a profit but. this is not a very diplomatic way of going about things because it actually in the long run damage. not only the u.s. economy itself but. i just wanted to touch on what you said earlier about the effect that sanctions are having on russia i mean what would you say the long term effect has been of these sanctions on russian businesses. the long term effect is that it will strengthen the russian economy and make it more independent and weaken the dollar from what i can see because a lot of people especially germany because you must remember that this whole thing is about the battle for germany in the battle for europe who controls germany and europe is it going to be the russians or the u.s. hopefully nobody hopefully europe will be its own master but at the moment europe is still very much. under the a

during the coolidge and reagan and bush cuts. history shows those things happened. we are an aging economy. do you think 3% or 4% is a sustainable goal in an economy with an aging population? >> tax reform is a huge part of this. but as important is the deregulation. for 8 years the economy was so suffocated and repressed. we are seeing that burden lifted. we are seeing limitations the economy was straining against finally being relieved of it. and that will be as big. >> there is a lot of talk about deregulation. i live in a small town in wisconsin. i can tell you it's small companies, little businesses that were hurt the most of that don't have the lawyers and bandwidth to deal with the regulations. those are the companies we'll start to see as we move forward. we haven't seen that yet. i know companies in my town who added money and enhanced 401k contributions. that's not showing up in the papers the white house is putting forward. >> we reached 3% before the tax bill was even passed with respect to just deregulation and talking optimistic. >> the message of the

gary, with you, there have been 4 major tax cuts in last 100 years, coolidge, kennedy.nd lbj, and reagan, and bush. every time, you saw tax revenue go up in to treasury, you saw the economy improvement why is it now people saying that is impossible and will not happen in this climate? >> because they are nuts. a quick side bar. you are doing a fantastic job subbing in for the great charles payne, good on you. second, why are people saying? the mainstream media is saying it. we've discusses bulls and bears, they hope for trump to fail. why? because they are still mad he -- mad they lost the election. to your point, you ask average person, on the street, i'm going to give you $100 to spend or give it to the government? what do you think abser would be? they will say, i can pend it better than the government, that is what the tax cuts are doing. people right now don't believe in the tax cut, majority they have been spoken to by mainstream media saying it will be horrible. wait until they file their taxes and get more money back in their pocket. this economy is going to tak

a couple of justices in coolidge who thought that was the case. they ended up in the dissent in ross. and certainly in the minority in acevedo. >> i thought your point was that you understood on the automobile exception for it to have -- include a categorical exigency aspect. in other words, while it's not the case that you see the guy revving up the motorcycle, about to take off, which would be an exigent circumstance but you think because -- you want to extend or apply the automobile exception to stationary vehicles within the curtilage, because you think all the guy has to do is he sees the police officer, he runs out of the house, starts it up, and goes away. >> yes, your honor. i think that's one of the least controversial points in this case is that because this court has repeatedly held that a car doesn't actually have to be moving or with somebody there with a key ready to jump on it -- >> that goes back to my basic question. which is, how do i differentiate the car in the garage, if -- or the car through a window that you can see. you abo

when a republican was trashed -- returned to the white house, the first of three republicans with coolidge and hoover. it was only when fdr came back that wilson came into office and began -- came to be remembered. even at that time he was despised by the intellectual elite, walter lippman, hans martinson, george kennan, the list could go on and on. disliked by the left in the united states, they saw him as a person who actually was talking about peace and presenty as a front for american economic interests abroad with a strong military. this was kind of a marxist approach, it was widespread in american universities in the 1960's, particularly to the 1970's. the right did not like him either, he was strong government -- if you were a realist, he seemed to idealistic and too much of a moralist. thatottom line on this was wilson was simply not appreciated and most recently, he has been opposed by african americans, those of you who have black lives matter, they know that they were occupations at princeton where wilson was a student and a untilsor and president early in the 20th century, he w

and so with those thoughts in mind, let's hear the words of calvin coolidge spoken on this spot in commemoratinger the results of war and victory which are embodied in peace and liberty. we have little need to inquire how the war began. its day of carnage is done. but we should never forget that we were asserting our rights in maintaining our ideals. that at least we shall demand as our place in history. no one can doubt that our country was inspired by this experience. it attained a conscious national unity which it never before possessed. that unity ought always be cherished. this is all one country. we had revealed to us in our time of peril the unity and spirit of our people. they might speak with different tongues, come from most divergent quarters of the globe. but the essentials of our hour, they were moved by a common purpose, devoted to a common cause, and loyalty to a common country. we should not permit this spirit which was such a source of strength in our time of trial, to be dissipated in a more easy days of peace. we need it then, and we need it now. but we ought to maintain it, n

went to coolidge high school. i knew the city. and i drove a two and a half-ton truck. and we were picking up prisoners. and as they were bring the prisoners to the trucks, the police would just beat them up. it was just unbelievable. i'll never forget. how really violent they were. i was actually shocked to see this going on in my city. it was really heartbreaking. >> so michael, was the national guard involved in that as well, as far as the roughing-up of african-americans then? or was it just the detroit police? >> caller: well, what i saw was just the detroit police. i was driving a truck and they were putting the prisoners on the back of the truck. so basically it was just the police -- the national guard, most of us were like in shock, i think. we weren't really involved. that was the beginning of it. so i don't think it was so much the national guard. i do -- but we were kind of out of control. we really had no idea what was going on and what we were supposed to do. >> steven henderson? >> yeah, the confusion and the fear, again, this is a guardsman who actually

calvin coolidge said that, america business is america's business. when america business is doing well, home owning is doing well, people starting businesses are doing well. us old people, old pathetic weak people who have savings for our retirement, we're doing well. everybody is doing well if the market is doing well, and if the economy is doing well. let's remember, when the market is doing well, it means your retirement plan is doing well, it means your children's college endowment is doing well, it means your pension fun is doing well and let's give donald trump credit for that. donald trump in terms of freeing the economy from the shackles of obama era excessive regulations has done a hero's job. neil: all right. ben stein, always a pleasure. thank you very much, my friend. >> always a pleasure and have a very nice time in washington. neil: thank you. i am having a nice time. and this being washington, there are still playoff games to set up the league championships in football tomorrow. i don't care because my washington redskins are not in th

then the construction, president coolidge came back in '26. about 150,000 people, said to be the largest crowd that a president had ever spoken to. i think it's an extraordinary story of grass roots support, of crowd source funding to pay for what turned out to be an extraordinarily dramatic memorial. two really important decisions made at the time. the first was to create a memorial of scale which this is. 217-foot tower. these two fantastic exhibit halls. sphinx and a freeze on north side. really large memorial. the second decision was to collect globally. in 1920, the association began collecting inin ining archive . in the 60, 70s and 80s there were some deferr ered maintenan issues. ollie gates, a local businessman was the chair of the parks and recreation commission was assigned to move on this. through a variety of activities again at the city. the people voted, about 68% once on sales tax for about 18 months and then prieft phvate philanth and in the process carve in its understructure a museum that's fitting of the collection that had
