coolidge called him wonder boy. hoover was a good businessman, he was a mining engineer, and he did great humanitarian things in world war i, but as secretary of commerce, coolidge had no time for him because he was a big government guy. even though he had the hoover institution in stanford which is all about free markets, hoover himself -- hoover took the tax rate from 25% to 65%. i know there was restricted tariffs during these republican years, but not like that. it was a terrible mistake. it turned what was a modest downturn a major depression, than fdr, in my view, made it worse because he kept raising taxes and kept regulating and kept controlling prices. i am reading these books and i like to productize about these books. i love the gilded age stuff personally. if i had to do it over again, you could kind of plot me -- i would have liked to have been -- i don't know, grover cleveland, a democrat, is one of my favorite presidents. he was a pro gold, spending cutter, would not fathom the income tax, from buffal

unfortunately herbert hoover came in and even though he was republican served coolidge, coolidge calledwonderful, a good is this man, mining engineer and did great humanitarian things but as secretary commerce, coolidge had no time because he is a government by even though he had the hoover institution in stanford and free markets, hoover tax rate from 25 to 65% and signed the tariff and i know there was restricted tariffs but not like that, a terrible mistake turned a modest downturn into major depression than fdr in my view made it worse and kept telling prices so i'm reading this book. i love the gilded age personally. if i had it to do over again, i would like to have been -- grover cleveland the democrat is oned of my favorite presidents. local spending wouldn't fathom the income tax brooklyn new york, mayor of buffalo, i think five or six or eight years and the onlyto guy to come back in e president. i like u.s. grant, warren harding and chauvin coolidge, ronald reagan and donald trump. >> wasn't cleveland the other -- [laughter] his opponents go after these guys on those. grover

they don't like calvin coolidge.used to not like ronald reagan but so much material has come out, reagan and his own hand, they realized reagan was quite a policy intellectual. so look, let's go to the gilded age. the gilded age was, i'm going to define as kind of like 1870-1910, or something, you know, give me some running room on that. i actually going to include u.s. grant into this so grant was president from 68 to 76. the gilded age was a second industrial revolution. the gilded age was a phenomenal period of inventions, railroads across the country, airplanes, oil i mean, i just bought a list because gosh i was hoping we would go into the stuff. electricity, telegraph, rail lines, telephones, oil, automobiles, airplanes, the red cross. i mean come on, and their bad mouthing everything about -- this tv show made them all out to be villains. it was all about social climbing and stuff like that. so they completely missed the big picture. this was a time of unheralded prosperity for the united states. america becam

on valentina baranova's birthday, coolidge students prepared a big congratulations concert for her. crime without a statute of limitations, the most famous executioner of the soviet union is a thin machine gunner, which forced the 22-year-old girl antonina makarova to take an oath of allegiance to the third reich and mercilessly shoot hundreds of people, watch the new series of a joint project of the tel news agency and the state security committee of belarus without a deadline a girl with the eyes of satan tomorrow after a panorama of belarus alone on belarus 24. the state security committee of belarus, together with the tv news agency belteleradiocompany , present the project on the genocide of the belarusian people during the great patriotic war . rona was none other than a concert of germany, a thin machine-gunner shot one and a half thousand people 20 people and to shoot cruel she was searched throughout the soviet union found in belorussian lepele was taken at the workplace. she left the city with her head up after 35 years. she looked into the eyes of those whom she did not h

calvin coolidge was a very feeble man. he did not like the idea of having a special train for the president said you can put my car in the rear of the train of a regular chamber don't do a special train. while in december of 19207 i think was in chicago there are two places in that city. and he decided he would go to a regular compartment and a regular sleeping car and i believe the name of the car's president grants of all things. he would eat there, he would sleep in that compartment, mrs. put before trains were air-conditioned, the car was very hot even though it was in december. so we had to sit there in his compartment with the door open and everybody on the train who walked past throughout the train walked through the aisle and look in there and gawk at him. and he did not like that. the very insecure situation with the secret service threat. i remember one time that waiter asked him as your coffee all right? he just said yes. then later he asked his wife why would he say that maybe there is something wrong with it.

upset the economy and that goes back to coolidge becoming involved in a strike with coal miners. is the miscommunication here, saying one thing and doing another. and this comes on the heels of an administration that was very much aloof when there was a baby formula shortage, aloof with an antibiotic shortage, a disregard for rolling up your sleeves and getting into the it in at this t government functionses. dagen: there's a tylenol shortage with rsv being a huge concern for parents in this country, speaking of kind of taking their eye off the ball. but also this was a -- biden had this big announcement that this strike, this rail strike was averted and maria called it out at the moment it happened. that it was all bluster and nothing was written, clearly nothing was actually firm. it was just they postponed this in essence. so it didn't hurt them in the midterm elections. >> right. postponing it to a point where the unions actually have more leverage because you're at a critical point with shipping. this isn't just christmas presents. this is food and housing material and thing

. >> with calvin coolidge. calvin coolidge was a very frugle man. some would say he was -- and he did not like the idea of having a special train for the president. he says, so you can put my car on the rear of the train, a regular train, but don't do a special train. well, he took off in december of 1927, i think it is in chicago, there were two places and that city. he decided he would go in a regular compartment, in a regular sleeping car, in the capital -- i believe the name of the car was the president grant, of all things. and he would eat in the diner, sleep in that compartment. he found out before long, these were the days before trains were air conditioned, that the car was very hot even though it was in december. so, he had to sit there in his compartment with the door open, and everybody on the train who walked past throughout the train, and people would come walking along the aisle and look in there and gawk at him. and he did not like that. he would use his meals in the diner. along with the other passengers. which was a very insecure s

immigration -- hostility towards immigration became popular after the signing of the act by calvin coolidge. the sense that the united states could be could sustain itself without having to get tangled up in what was going on in much of the rest of the world. this is a difficult position to stay consistent with, because the united states was a burgeoning economic and military power after the spanish-american war, 1898. we get non-continuous territory in the philippines, cuba, etc. the first america firsters opposed world war ii and american involvement. they were isolationist, but no one calls themselves an isolationist. i talked about it -- the united states does not need to be involved in the rest of the world. buchanan brought these back open after the end of the cold war. you heard the clip before -- i encourage people to listen to his campaign speech when he was running for president in 1991, when he talked about these things. it's time to reevaluate our expensive milcommitments overseas. you calhim any oh isolationist -- a neo- isolationist. donald trump pulled america out of the pari

$20,000 during andrew jackson's presidency and stayed that amount until the presidency of calvin coolidge. as you can imagine, that 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, re-gilding, re-upholstery, and shifting items between rooms to address different concerns and when necessary, it selling outdated or wanted items that public option and using the proceeds to buy new items for the house. in 1826, congress passed legislation that mandated that all furniture purchase for the white house should be as far as practical be of american or domestic manufacture. 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 purchase from american firms. the white house, was after all, an office and a home and an extremely accessible one at that. this greatly affected the house, it's appearance at its furnishings. in 1840, to author charles dicke

but one of the reasons that people liked grace coolidge so much is because the three first ladies who came before her were widely considered to have too much power. so, edith wilson and helen taft and florence harding all were very powerful first ladies. grace benefited from that. >> there is a blow back, though, isn't there? >> always. >> not being elected, for the first ladies who come after a first lady who is perceived as powerful, whether they want to cut back or not, they feel the pressure from the public. >> we have a question here. >> yes. i have heard edith wilson referred to as our first female president. >> [laughter] >> i'm also surprised in this discussion that you haven't mentioned eleanor roosevelt. that isn't my question. my question is, political writers and pundits are very free about ranking our best presidents and our worst presidents. and i wonder if you would go so far as to maybe talk about who were our good first ladies and who were our worst. i know a lot of people -- they are not elected. they are thrust into the position. some people rise to the occasion and

immigration restriction became very popular in the 1920s after the 1924 immigration act signed by calvin coolidge. they opposed security commitments, entangling alliances to bore that turn from washington and thomas jefferson. and, so the united states can be a self, can sustain itself without having to get tangled up in what was going on in much of the rest of the world. this was of course a difficult position to stay consistent with because, the united states was a burgeoning economic military power after the spanish american war of 1898. we finally get nine continuous territory there. philippines, cuba, et cetera. so the first america first essentially a post world war ii, u.s. involvement were way too. they were isolationists. no one today calls themselves an isolationist. however, the ideas continue to simmer beneath the surface. i just talked about some of them. the united states doesn't need to be so involved in the rest the world. you can and you can bring these back out into the open after the end of the cold war. you heard the call before. i encourage people to listen to his december 10

portraits of four former vice presidents, john adams, thomas jefferson, theodore roosevelt and calvin coolidge't help but observe that of those four vice presidents, all four went on to become president. so i know you're not going to announce your candidacy this evening, but do you think you would be a good president? >> well, that would be for others to say. let me just say when we gather back in indiana this coming christmas, we'll approach that decision the same way we've approached every decision over the last 20 years in public life. you know, my daughter, charlotte, still wrote the best book about our family. it's entitled "where you go," subtitled "life lessons from my father." she captured the story of how we made our decision to run for congress that third time, jake. as i mentioned, i lost those first two races. i write about the lessons learned in "so help me god." when the time came around, it was a difficult decision to decide whether or not to run to congress again. we had to sell our dream home, move our kids back to our hometown, spend all of our savings and risk it all again e

she is a reagan goldwater coolidge conservative. on behalf of that narrow constituency that does almost as not exist anymore and i think -- no one to stick up for that knowing that he was going to lose. but another part of what he did this past year, it reminded me of cersei lana stir lannister when they said, what are you going to do? she said, i choose violence. -- -- and i'm not going to do it. that was the political lesson that she taught, whether or not she goes on to a presidential race. >> -- hq o was told about the reference. very well done. one -- of the reasons that donald trump was still well alive politically, she talked about the idea of not having, essentially, the political coffin nailed, with that impeachment. and here she is talking about this issue as yet one instance, or frankly many, where trump could have been, essentially, dismissed. >> if after the house impeached don trump in january 2021, if the impeachment article had immediately gone to the senate and we immediately had a trial, we would be in a very diffe

franklin roosevelt for a fourth term had to have a certain pedigree a certain background so did calvin coolidge, franklin roosevelt herbert hoover who they threw out on his ear and suddenly we have harry truman who is using curse words. there are cartoons of women pulling their children away, the kids are kicking and scourges we have to leave now the president is talking. and so this idea we have this suddenly in the white house. truman was aware of that as well. i think it's more of a stylistic comparison and an example of a shock to the system if you take president obama and his harvard education you take franklin roosevelt with his bay nature and harvard education. suddenly it's flipped over its a shock to the system. i think it is an excellent point spent a good amount of time spent thinking about over the last couple of years, how that was a shock to americans reading their newspaper in listening to their radio saying who even is this guy in what is happening here? and he is in charge and we are at war. it kind of came to a head later times some part of what came to a head because the supr

one of the few republicans on the statewide level to to make the trip and he's known as the kansas coolidge a nickname which really frosts him because he's not conservative at all. he's balanced the budget. he's cut spending. but he is a progressive republican come out. and when lorena is out traveling country getting there her to see what's going on out there in the hinterlands. she hears land and speak. in 1934 and says, boy, the democrats are going to be in real trouble because the republican governor seems to be a new but how he arises from that is situation. his career catches the ear. one of those newspapers men a publishers in in politics william randolph hearst and all before him another guy named paul block who a very small time guy with papers in pittsburgh and new jersey and he talks to hearst and they go out they get on the big train and the private car cissy patterson the newspaper woman from washington, d.c., they all go out to kansas to check this guy out and. they say, oh, he's just the most marvelous candidate. he's guy who can who can make the trip and beat franklin roosev

calvin coolidge actually had a pretty good voice for radio. herbert hoover did some speaking on the radio. but really when we think about presidents and the electronic media, we're thinking about franklin d. roosevelt. and roosevelt is famous for the so-called fireside chats. an or not thing to know though -- an important thing to know about the fireside chats, a lot of people think he did them every week. no. no, no. he did them on essential occasions. there weren't as many fireside chats as people think there were. roosevelt had a really good voice for if radio, and and e understood that with the tireside chat you didn't -- fireside chat you didn't talk the same way as you did when you were to rating to a large -- orating to a large are crowd. people would get turned off way that. fdr understood that's not the way you talk on the radio. he also used radio effectively on certain special occasions. and some of his major speeches were broadcast. roosevelt gave acceptance speeches. you hay say, yeah, so? roosevelt flew to the convention in 1932

there were some presidential radio addresses during the 1920s, calvin coolidge actually had a pretty good voice for radio. herbert hoover did some speaking on the radio. really, when we think about presidents and the electronic media, we are thinking about franklin d. roosevelt. roosevelt is famous for the so-called fireside chats. improtant thing to know though about the fireside chats, a lot of people think he gave them every week, no, no. he gave them on special occasions. there were not as many fireside chats as people think there were. roosevelt had a very good voice for radio, and he understood that with fire side chats, you didn't talk the same way as you did when you were orating to a large crowd. a lot of times, politicians of the era would give this amazing speech just talking into the radio microphone [noise]. people would get turned off by that. fdr understood that's not the way you talk on the radio. he also used radio effectively on certain special occasions. some of his major speeches were broadcast. roosevelt gave acceptance speeches. you may say, yeah, so? the answer

not so successful democratic president was not until the 1920s the republican party of harding and coolidge to define as the party of americanism or sport harding famously put it of normalcy. jp of the 1920s was extraordinarily successful. he legitimized the gop's claim to providing prosperity for the average americans, world war ii delegitimized the right to afford policy in the mainstream electric. and conservatism there and to reconfigure itself for the post-world war ii cold war era. that part of the story had not been told of ancient hold in some places like justinbu considered himself in the traditionally wrote a very good book on the subject. but i wanted to incorporate that story into the story of the post-cold war movement and carry it through reagan and the most recent presidencies including donald trump. >> paul, in some ways the kind of work you are most engaged in, the efforts to reform, our entitlement system and to think about the role of government often depicted by the left as attempts to restore pre-new deal america. is there some truth to that? is the american right still

it wasn't until the 1920s with the republican party of harding and coolidge that you saw the gop align itself against progressivism. and say that we're going to define ourselves as the party of americanism. or is harding famously put it of normalcy. and their gop of the 1920s was extraordinarily successful. but events your boy events. the great depression delegitimize the gop's claim to providing prosperity for the average american. world war two delegitimized the rights foreign policy of non-intervention in the eyes of the mainstream american electorate. and so conservatism there had to be kind of refigure its reconfigure itself for the post-world war two cold war era that part of the story hadn't really been told it had been told in some places. um figures like justin raymondo who was considered himself in the traditionally. alright, what wrote a very good book on this subject? but i wanted to incorporate that story into the story of the post-war conservative movement and then carry it through reagan and the most recent presidencies including donald trump's. paul you know in some way

wilson aligned not so successful but not in others and a democratic president not until the 1920s of coolidgehat you see the gop align itself and to say we will define ourselves as the party of americanism in the gop is extraordinarily successful the great depression delegitimize the claim to provide prosperity for the average american world war ii delegitimized the form policy of nonintervention so conservativism there has to be can figure itself of the cold war era. those who consider themselves in the condition of the right but iiv want to incorporate that story into the postwar conservative movement then carry r that through with the most recent presidency including donald trump were most engaged in the the efforts to reform are entitlement system and to think about the role of government are often depicted by the left as attempts to restore pre-new deal america. is there some truth to that is the american right still seeking some way to recover from an error made by fdr or you could make that argument maybe 20 years ago. i don't think that that's the case anymore. i think i think everyon

it wasn't until the 1920s with the republican party of harding and coolidge that you saw the gop aligned itself against progressivism and say that we are going to define ourselves as the party of americanism, or is harding famously put it, of normalcy. and gop of an aching twins was extraordinary successful, but events, the great depression, delegitimize the gop is going to providing for the a average american. world war ii, delegitimized the rights foreign policy of nonintervention in the eyes of the mainstream american electorate. and so contracts conservatism there had to reconfigure itself for the post-world war ii cold war era. that part of story had not been told it had been told in some places, figures like justin reimann who considered himself in the traditional old right way who wrote a book of the subject and want to incorporate that story into the story of the postwar conservative movement and then carry it through reagan and the most recent presidencie presidencies, including donald trump's. >> paul, in some ways the kind of work that you are most engaged in, the efforts to r

was how she deflected some of the criticism but she was essentially a chief of staff to him grace coolidge was much beloved by the american people in large measure because she was a very traditional wife who dressed very well was a very good mother suffered the grief of a death of a child in the white house, but one of the reasons that people like grace college so much is because three first ladies who came before her or why they considered to have had a little too much power. so edith wilson and helen here in taft and florence harding all very powerful first ladies. so grace benefited from that. there is a blowback though, isn't there on this accountability and mike dean elected for the first ladies who come after a first lady who's perceived his powerful whether they want to cut back or not. i think they feel the pressure from the public to do that. we have a question here. yes, i've heard edith wilson referred to as our first female president, and i'm also surprised in this discussion that you haven't mentioned eleanor roosevelt, but that's not my question. my question is political writ

and she was appointed by president coolidge, president hoover appointed her, and frank and dello -- franklin delano roosevelt appointed her and she became the president of a black society in the whole world. she maybe was appointed for the united states but she was president of the whole world. you know that too. let me just delve to another part of it in terms of presidents. because in 1896, the premier organization for black women was formed in this country right here and it was the national association of colored women. and there were some women, i'm sure there are some members here who are members and it was formed by a group of women like margaret mary washington, the wife of booker t. washington, and josephine ruffin and maybe some other women who were involved. we know she became the first president. she gets the credit of being the founder but there were a group of women who founded it. she was also a member of the national association of colored women, was this great lady from florida whose name was mary mcleod bassoon. -- mary mcleod bethune. many of them were suffragettes during t
