he was a dear friend of grover and i think upon his death, i think grover felt the need to make sure francis was taking care of for the rest of her life. they loved each other. i think he was definitely a lot older by a stretch of 25 to 30 years but i think at that time she trusted him. he was the guardian for many, many years, even prior to mr. fulsome's death, i definitely think she had complete trust to, they loved each other and had a wonderful family . >> they really did not like life inside the white house, they wanted to protect the family, how did they do that? >> that's right. a lot of times, susan, francis would actually take the children by carriage to some of the sites off campus of the white house, unbeknownst to the press or anybody that was around , they would secretly do that, midday or sometimes in the evenings when no one would be suspect that they would be out. i think she was very much -- she controlled how her children would be seen . >> they also built the houses in what is called the cleveland park section of washington and the family more or less live there an

sadly, grover, cleveland and mckinley are forgotten. through books that are written about both, especially mckinley, and you remember the book about william mckinley, he has always been revered, but in times past, he has often been forgotten. my hope is that through the course of time and great efforts of the white house historical that jacqueline kennedy founded in 1961, it is efforts education and preservation and legacy and learning about the president, they will be remembered. i am trying very hard to do that. >> we have visited the mckinley memorial in ohio. what a structure. tell her audience the story of how they came to the? -- to be. >> way back in the day, people revered him. you know the significance about the roses they wore in the day when he was assassinated. . it --izens of ohio thought it would be fitting to come together and create a memorial for his legacy and memory. he is probably ohio's most becauseu.s. president he was not only a house number but the last u.s. civil war president. produced, inat addition to the fac

he is the grandson of grover cleveland and we were talking about that today. there are a lot of letters that exist. a lot of letters he wrote. he is a voracious reader and writer. there are a ton of letters our family has accumulated over the years. he wrote a dozen a day. >> have you ever heard the story where president reagan, before he was inaugurated, but after he was elected, he went up to see tip o'neill and tip o'neill said this desk i had is the desk of grover cleveland. president reagan said, well, i played him in a movie. he said no, you played grover cleveland alexander, the press -- the picture, not the president. it sounds like a good story. let's talk about mckinley. he was a governor and senator from ohio and was tragically killed in a world's fair. >> in buffalo. >> and that led to teddy roosevelt becoming president. so, what kind of memorabilia do you have for president mckinley? >> i have a letter written on my birthday in 1896. it was not on white house stationery, it was written on executive mansion stationery, so it is very special to me.

charles: what do you make of that though, grover?lt no matter what your economic thesis was the key component is that people have to believe? in other words they have to become self-fulfilling. how critical is it politics aside that americans continue to buy into the recovery? >> i think it is important if you believe there are jobs out there then you're looking a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy. the chance if you're looking the chance getting a job is greater, if you assume the press is depressing you and media says you are not you stay at home. they have friends getting jobs or siblings. this extremely helpful. building on itself. people see what happens to their 401(k)s and life savings, value of their homes. on all fronts, moving forward. this is early in the tax cut. there is a whole bunch of benefits that flow from the more capital expenditures that companies are making. that tells you that higher incomes and higher productivity are just behind that wave. that's -- charles: still perhaps a lot more money to come in from overse

i understand that's the sesame grover word of the day, that and fear and some other stuff, but no, it's not whipping up the base. there are constitutional scholars and say the 14th amendment has been misinterpreted and the court has never given a solid opinion on this. >> not 30 minutes after kellyanne conway spoke those words, the "washington post" co-authored that trump's proposal to end birthright citizenship is unconstitutional. and we quote, at its core, birthright citizenship is what our 14th amendment is all about. the a promise that all men are created equal with a constitutional commitment that all men born in the united states share in that equality. trump was wrong. a constitutional amendment would be necessary to revoke birthright citizenship. gentlemen, welcome to you both. eli, we've compiled a way of sharing, reminding you, having been through the trump campaign and the trump presidency, and more specifically members of our audience, this issue is not new for donald trump. we'll talk about it on the other side. >> there is a very big question as to the anchor babies. they

i was looking at the best grovers of the day, and that the down stocks are doing well.uilders have been getting clobbered, but they are doing well today. , and the up 9% regional banks have firmed up a little bit, zions bank is performing strongly after an earnings beat. i think it depends on the momentum of stock going into the earnings season, if it's crashing a little bit of good news can help. as gina pointed out, companies are not really getting rewarded for earnings beats, and they really get clobbered. of the interesting things about the internals of this is that companies are saying input costs are rising. it's a stronger economy so prices are going up. you seem pockets of companies say they will pass that on but some are taking it out of their margin. is there a nervousness here that this means the beginning of inflationary pressure? >> i think that's part of the about it is still tbd how many costs companies can pass, but i think it's a broader story. if you look across the communications sector and the technologies sector you hear companies talk about increas

i think -- i understand that that's like the sesame grover word of the day, that and fear and some othertuff. but no, it's not bhiping up the base. >> among those who disagree with the president's suggestion, house speaker paul ryan who told the radio show it would never pass constitutional muster. >> well, you obviously cannot do that, you cannot end birthright citizenship with an executive order. we didn't like it when obama tried changing immigration laws, the executive action. obviously as conservatives, you know, we believe in -- in the constitution. you know, the conservative i'm a believer in following the plain text of the constitution, and i think in this case the 14th amendment's pretty clear. and that would involve a very, very lengthy constitutional process. >> kellyanne conway's own husband, george, also scoffed at the idea in an job ed, writing sometimes the constitution's text is plain as day. such a move would be constitutional and would be challenged, and the challengers would undoubtedly win. >>> president trump stirring up anger and controversy with his visit to the si

saudi arabia is known here for spending millions across town on lobbyists and public relations but groverark lobbying group announced they are ending their $150,000 a month contract. another lobbying company, harbor group, is also doing the same. all of that, brooke, putting a lot of attention, all eyes on treasury secretary steven mnuchin, who for now is still going to that conference in riyadh. he said he's going to wait until mike pompeo comes back and briefs the president. he'll be making that decision on thursday and it will be a real indication of how the trump administration plans to treat this relationship with the saudis going forward. brooke? >> we'll wait for it tomorrow. talking to rana foroohar moments ago. lindsey graham responding to criticism after he made a joke that insulted a number of iranian americans. we play it for you. you can hear it for yourself. for brokerage accounts. s and zero minimums to open an account. we have fidelity mutual funds with zero minimum investment. and now only fidelity offers four zero expense ratio index funds directly to investors. because

grover norquist told "the washington post," we've been winning little victories with regulation. this is the big win. we are cutting down the forest, not the trees. you agree? >> i would agree. it's one of the longstanding goals of republicans, conservatives was to stop the judicial activism of a liberal court. and so having a right/center majority that will look at the laws the way they were written and the constitution the way it was written is something that's been long sought after and going all the way become through reagan, they could not get it done. so we've finally seen 30-plus, 40 years of work on this as a success. >> so there's been speculation, maggie haberman tweeted this earlier today about whether or not this potentially opens the door for republicans to break with the president and hear me out on this because they've actually gotten done what they needed him to do. they passed tax cuts and cemented a conservative major ut on the court. the argument would go they don't necessarily need him anymore. do you think that's fair or off base? >> i think it's off base. bu

first kavanaugh was a grover, then he was a flasher and then all of a sudden he was a serial gang-rapist or drop quaaludes in the punch bowl. when those couldn't stand on their own he became a partisan hack and a belligerent drunk. did you know he actually threw some cubes of the cold stuff on someone in a 1985 bar fight? that's cool. now they claim he perjured himself, which is completely false. here to debate the evolving narrative is joe digenova and scott mullen, national bar association president, let me start with you. is this anything other than a craven attempt by the democrats to hold onto the seat? >> clearly that's what it is. if the performance by the democrats on the committee during the hearing and in their public discourse has been rather shameful, but it really doesn't matter to them because it's all about power. i thought that judge kavanaugh conducted himself brilliantly during the hearings and in his statement that he gave, which some of the democratic senators objected to where he became angry and i think legitimately so after having been accused of being a serial rap

i understand that's like the sesame grover word of the day, that and fear and some other stuff. but no, it's not whipping up the base. there are constitutional scholars who say the 14th amendment has been misinterpreted and the supreme court has never gave a solid opinion on this, so -- >> it doesn't require like some lawyer or some fancy lawyer. it basically requires anyone who can read. the text of the 14th amendment says "all persons born or naturalized in the united states and subject to their jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the united states," period. there are no exceptions. that's what it says. >> then you have democrats, right, like nancy pelosi who is out doing some late night, talking about this immigration push from the president. >> this is just more of the same of what he has been saying, taking babies out of the arms of their moms, putting them in cages, warning about a caravan that's over a thousand miles away, putting troops on the border. >> cornell? >> you know, the problem for republicans is moderate voters, right? when you think about what moderate voter

as he's doing this, or writing the memoirs the democrats win the white house with grover cleveland. the cleveland presidency is about what the civil war is about now that the white house is in democratic hands. and amay have been a whig douglas democrat, but starting in 1864 he is a rock river ribic and -- rock republican. political loyalties became obvious to me as i followed the course of john porter's request for assistance in achieving some sort of exoneration for what was really a political hit in 1862. he was also quite sympathetic, although not particularly generous to burnside in his memoirs because burnside was by then a republican. he was dead so there was nothing he could do about getting him reelected. he -- i think he could've been a lot harsher and certainly would have been harsher in 1864. aide porter and when he ultimately said was a just effort to obtain some sort reputation.of his he waited until he was out of the presidency to do that and that he didn't abruptly. -- did it abruptly. >> how have these political considerations you feel shaped grant's assessment of o

he is also a person who is kept off a lot of tv and radio, more than some of his counterparts like grover nordquist and others. he continues to fight the good fight. he will bring to us another perspective on the fundamentalism and their uses to block needed regulation in congress and to try to counteract any kind of public accountability of these global corporate institutions. robert wiseman. [ applause ] >> so when i was working on the publication that ralph talked about, multinational monitor, we talked about market fundamentalism a lot. the context in which the term was just used, was more internationally than domestically. then reflecting upon the words in advance of this forum, you know, it struck me it's actually kind of a misnomer. the market part is like a fiction. the fundamentalist part is real. but it's not as if the proponents of market fundamentalism believe in markets. that's what greg's presentation was about. it's what bert's presentation was about. it will be in part what mine is about. the existence of the corporation, it's corporate fundamentalism. the existence of the
