$20,000 during andrew jackson's presidency and stayed that amount until the presidency of calvin coolidge. so as you can imagine the money went quickly and wasn't evenly distributed across the rooms. so since these funds didn't go very far this meant fixing broken items regaled in reupholstering shifting items between rooms to address different concerns and when necessary selling outdated or worn out items of public auction and using the proceeds to buy new items for the house in 1826 congress passed legislation that mandated that all furniture purchased for the white house should be as far as practicable be of american or domestic manufacturer. while this was included as part of the appropriations bill there were ways around this as we heard with for example, the china services many of which were french made and were brought to the united states and then purchased from american firms. the white house was after all an office in a home in an extremely accessible one at that. this greatly impacted the house. it's appearance and its furnishings in 1842. authored charles dickens. yes that cha

who can forget calvin coolidge? or richard nixon. and of course, hillary.te for senator mack but we won't judge her harshly either, she's proving democrats have their heads where we suspected. do i need to say it? let up their own asses? i just at. is this criticism fair? shouldn't all politicians have some torquing capability? >> in the name of all that is holy and whatever god you believe in, no.

course, the fdr was lost the race for vice president during that election that elected harding and coolidge. he got polio the next year. so one a couple of winners he spent on his houseboat tooling around the caribbean where they would enjoy grog every night. now what was in the grog? i don't know, but i think probably it may be another name for a martini and then also at the little white house where he was said to have had a bootlegger who supplied him with moonshine. so the government was making efforts to control this out of control criminal activity, but they were so outmanned and so outgunned and it was so easy to bribe a prohibition agent because they were poorly paid poorly trained and so many of them had kind of gotten into the enforcement business just to read the rewards of the the bribery of course the most famous of the of the infamous gangsters was al capone and even though my book is about the south lo and behold i found out that al capone was from chicago had spent a lot of time in the south. there are so many places that he was said to ovulate his head. it's kind of like was

or calvin coolidge, another of my heroes. roosevelt understood the modern presidency, he pioneered at more than anyone else. she was he was going to create a new intimacy with the country. i don't think we want to be intimate with the presidents which they are the head of one branch of one of our many governments. >> host: who is the ideal president in your view? who did it right or close to it? ronald reagan was famous for communicating with the public, the ghost of reagan, bring him back. >> guest: there's nothing wrong with communicating. it is wrong to say the president should be front and center all the time communicating all the time. a senator from colorado making a brief run for the democratic nomination for president in 2020 he tweeted vote for me and he will get a president you won't have to think about for weeks at a time. i was for him. >> host: do you think, we talk about you mentioned the advent of radio. social media for all campaigns, not just the presidency and how they communicate and how you have witnessed

try to imagine george washington shsaying my friends or tell caln coolidge. roosevelt understood the modern presidency. he pioneered it more than anyonf else. is going to create a new intimacy with the country. i don't think wewa want to be intimate with the presidents. they are the head of one branch of our many governments. who's been the most idealit president in your view? who did it right or came close to it? >> ronald reagan was famous for communicated with the public. and say bring him back up. >> is nothing wrong with communicating. it is wrong to say the president should be front and center all the time communicating he tweeted he want to think about weeks at a time i was for him you mention the advent of radio but certainly social media is change the game for all campaigns. not just the presidency and how they communicate. how have you witnessed that change? you change how the candidatess communicate but how people receive information andnd reacto it that what it is? >> and how theynd talk to one another. the view abuse one another. i don't never tw

starts from a statement by calvin coolidge who said anytime you see -- coming down the street you chances are nine will go into the ditch before they get to you. certainly have one intended to have to deal with but that's not a bad philosophy. i think in many respects what we are doing is worrying about russia and china in particular and exaggerating the degree to which these are important. i certainly agree there's a lot of the book looking backward looking at how indirect respect the threat is exaggerated of the military threat during the cold war. it just seems to me in many cases i think chris said don't just do something, stand there so i think that's complacency and basically that the is going to self destruct and if we get to close we might have to do something but the best thing is to let it happen. many respects the soviet union and china self-destructed during the cold war. that's basically the way things had to go went to consider it. in the case of china, china is getting richer. why is that bad? the more stuff we can buy the more stuff we can sell to them. we don't like what'

private estates, whose housing was damaged during the explosion, other premises will be selected for coolidge

>> well president calvin coolidge said the chief business of america is business.his president hasn't placed business as a priority, right? when you crush small business, you crush american ingenuity, you crush jobs. they're already being hit over the head by the hammer of high energy prices, supply chain disruptions and the labor market. charles: the wage thing, i think the white house and others have miscalculated, higher minimum wage, all these things, unionization push. yeah it is fine if you want to unionize starbucks but you kill every other coffee shop out there that is privately owned. >> absolutely. at one point one business goes down, the others go down with it. why? there is a relationship between them, right? whether it's a local neighborhood or midtown manhattan both business districts are being crushed. charles: brian deece talked about a liberal world order, this being the necessary pain we got to go through. i hope that is not the case. stay on new york for a moment. i mentioned crime a moment ago. that is also destroying small businesses. of course

or calvin coolidge to pick another of my heroes. but roosevelt understood the modern presidency. in fact he pioneered it more than anyone else. he was going to create anew intimacy with the country . i don't think we want it to be intimate. they are the head of one branch of one of our many governments. >> who's been the most ideal president in your field. who did it right or at least came close. because ronald reagan was famous for communicating with the public and most conservatives look up to those who write in and say bring him back . >> there's nothing wrong with communicative with the president . it is wrong to say the president should be front and center all the time, communicate all the time. when the senator of colorado was making his brief run for the democratic nomination for president in 1920. he tweeted vote for me and you'll get a president, you won't have tothink about for weeks at a time . that was for him. >> you think we talk about this you mentioned the advent of radio but certainly social media changed the game for all campaigns. not just the presidency and ho

o calvin coolidge, think of another one of my heroes. but roosevelt understood the modern presidency. in fact, he pioneered more than anyone else. he was going to create a new intimacy with the country. now, i don't think we want to be intimate with presidents. they are the head of one branch of one of our many governments. >> so who's been the most ideal president in your view? who did it right, or at least came close to it? >> well -- >> because ronald reagan was famous for communicating with the public and most conservatives look up the ghost of reagan and they bring him back. >> it is wrong to say that presidents should be front and center all the time. to me getting all the time. when senator bennet of colorado was making his brief run for the democratic nomination for president in 2020,at he tweeted vote for mer and you will get a president he won't have to think about for weekst at a time. i was for him. >> so do you think, we talk about, , you mentioned the advet of radio button social media has changed the game for all campaigns

it's from a statement by calvin coolidge, who said anytime you see ten problems coming down the street at you, chances are nine of them are going to the ditch before they get to you. one problem and ten, you still need to deal with, but that's not a very broad philosophy. i think in many respects, what we are doing it yeah learning about russia and china and i think exaggerating the degree to which these are important. exaggerating threat -- looking at how, in retrospect, the threat is exaggerated, including the one of the soviet union during the cold war. it just seems to me that in many cases, i think chris said, don't just stand there. don't trust -- i think that is complacency. basically, that problem is probably going to self destruct. if it gets too close, you might need to do something. but the best thing is to let it happen. in many respects, the soviet union in -- and china self destructed during the cold war. it was not from any policy from our side. that is basically how things go. we ought to consider it. in a case of china, china is getting richer. why is that bad? the mor

miller has also long coveted a full immigration ban, quote, like coolidge did, citing the 1924 immigrationjews, which miller is, in favor of nordic races and was based on the same racist book that hitler called his bible. and remember this? >> why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here? the president then went on to talk about how they needed to bring in more people from norway. >> that's classic eugenics, classic miller, classic racism. again, in my humble opinion. >> you don't have to be wearing a klan robe or have a shaved head and a swastika on your forehead to be a white supremacist. we have to start being more honest about what white supremacy looks like. >> so-called central park five, five teenagers pressured into giving false confessions. >> of course i hate these people. let's all hate these people, because maybe hate what is we need to get something done. >> we provided additional information today about the site of my birth. >> the progressive democratic congresswoman should go back to the crime-infested places from which they claim. >> when mexico sen

i like i honest a cool coolidge barry goldwater a choice not an echo. can you talk about the the crystalization of these ideas and some would say the gross simplification of complex policy into these, you know chance. yeah, and it what i find interesting is yeah, this is obviously a big part of politics today it it really started in a way with typical and tyler tour with the 1840 campaign, which i find fascinating democracy was becoming a lot more popularized around the time. i mean began with andrew jackson and you know 1828. but prior to jackson politics was still a sport for elitists really and and it began opening up more states began having a popular vote with the of jackson, but 1840. really interesting story the the wigs nominated william henry harrison, and the democrats van buren was the incumbent and they originally thought you know van buren beat harrison four years ago and harrison's oldies late 60s, and you know, of course we can beat him again and some newspaper editor or columnist wrote a piece saying that you know, you should just retire

fishing a love that fdr shared with cleveland who wrote a book about the virtues of fishing with coolidge with eisenhower with truman with carter and with bush 43. and once again, there's a story i love in which fishing played a great role for fdr turned out. there was a longstanding fight between two of fdr's cabinet officers hopkins and icky's about how to spend the billions of dollars in in public works projects icky's had been a progressive businessman and he thought it was better to spend it in long-term projects you would prime the pump. and create some infrastructure like laguardia airport which of course needed redoing afterwards and the lincoln tunnel and the bonneville dam, but it took a long time for those things to be developed. so people weren't getting to work immediately hopkins had been a social worker and he thought you just needed to get to work people whatever schools libraries painting murals. they needed the dignity of work and they would argue about it and fdr was okay if they argued about it until it went into the press and finally like icky said about hopkins. he's

what followed was coolidge republicanism.his is to be said for the progressives and for franklin roosevelt as well, what followed in the crisis of the great depression was quite extraordinary and all over the world, people were looking at things like fascism and communism to provide employment and here we had the darker alternatives of hugh we long. we can think franklin roosevelt for that. a lot of progressive republican supported franklin roosevelt. people like henry wallace came to the administration as a republican. harold hickey. this is a trend in the republican party. it goes to the west. a way to understand this is to look at american politics versus west versus eez. progressivism rose in the west. frederick jackson turner described the progress in american history in terms of west versus eez. east. a sense of nationhood in the west versus cosmopolitans in the east. that came to define a conservativism which we've forgotten about. it has been washed over by right wing policy. host: our guest is frank buckley , his new
