please join me in welcoming henry olsen. [applause] >> like to thank aei and c-span for coming to cover this event. this is my first book. i feel like i have given intellectual birth but without any pain of the real birth. today i'd like to start by making reagan's last words my first. words you can see on his gravestone look over the beautiful valleys of the sunny southern california he deeply loved. i know in my heart that man is good. that what is right will eventually triumph. and that there is worth and purpose to each and every human life. my book is little more than an extended essay on the meaning of those words and how important they were to ronald reagan, and how his incorporation and acting upon those worlds did little more than change america and change the world. but as karla noted my book is about more than that as well. it's about an argument that the republican party and conservative moment have lost its soul because rather than following the real reagan, the man who could say those words and make those the w

good luck, henry. [applause] >> and recovery of five minutes to respond and then i will experiment with a new kind of moderation and i will step in only when it starts to sound too much like a group. >> i favor your endorsement. people told their favorite written stories. ibm three points i would like to get there. i go into this in great detail in the book that's 200 or more pages that i go through. that reagan used the term in a way that libertarians use that imprecisely gets onto the question of what will or should government have pad disagrees on every point and for reagan libertarian for someone who's inspired by letting them see individual choice flourish, but not the expense of one is pushed on should government be providing higher education or financing higher education, he signed with the. it gets to the finer point on the hyper libertarian polling. when you use the word libertarian, reagan really meant this to mean what i would argue that celebrity inspired americanism. that gets into the sec

henry j. friendly, president, harvard law. [laughing] he said, i think i deserve to be able to decide my own citation form. so that was it for that one. [laughing] i don't think i had to correct anything after that. likewise, we used to stuff his briefs into a revolving bookcase come into these little cardboard boxes which at the time were used for magazines. each one capable of feeding eight and half by 11 breeze. we had quite a number of materials in the legal size. everything got scrunched into these. and one day i asked his secretary, why do we just get bigger boxes or a different brief or a different bookcase? she said, the judge likes things the way they are. [laughing] fine, fine. about five days later, he has been talking across the hall with judge waterman. he comes rushing into our chambers boiling mad and he goes, how come judge waterman has those great big plastic boxes? [laughing] so we therefore got him the plastic boxes and get rid of the rotating bookcase, and that todd is that he's legends about the judge were

getting reagan right in henry's words. and the other appointed critique of how conservatives in a modern gop have lost their way and what they must do to recover it. we have a distinguished panel to cover both. their bios are online so i will not provide long introductions. henry is going to speak for about 20 minutes and then we have asked craig, the author of four books on reagan. and he is going to comment on henry's understanding of the true reagan. craig will speak for 10 minutes. they will turn to bill will moderate the second half of today's discussion on the future of the gop. we are very fortunate to have ai fellow jonah goldberg and the center for american progress is senior fellow, ruy teixeira. and he has a major -- you will be able to purchase copies of the books in addition to henry's books after the discussion. this is an embarrassment. we have a very tight timetable this afternoon so less get started. please welcome henry olsen.

in that role henry w. halleck was involved in one way or another with every major decision made in the american civil war. every major battlefield decision. he advised, he cajoled, he encouraged and in some cases he picked up the pieces. when grant assumed overall command in march of 1864, halleck stayed on. he became part of the important military theme. he was then called the chief of staff and it's not what we call him today. he was a chief of staff and he was a general to grant. he took the administrative burdens off grant's shoulder, and it was halleck more than anybody else who forged that mighty military machine that finally overwhelmed the confederate forces. in short, i think it's fair to say that halleck played a major role both militarily and politically in the outcome of the civil war. he was a leading general, had an important influence on the nation's political leaders. no other military man was as central to the civil war as was henry w. "old brains" halleck. most are saying oh, gee, that's

in that role henry w. halleck was involved in one way or another in every major battlefield decision. he advised. he conjoeled, encouraged or in some cases pick picked up the pieces. when grant assumed over all command in march of 1864, halleck stayed on. he was the chief of staff. he was like a general to grant. he took the burdens off grants shoulders. and it was halleck more than anybody else who forged that mighty military machine that finally overwhelmed the confederate forces. in short i think it's fair to say halleck played a major role. he was a major general, had an important influence on the nation's political leaders. no other military man was as central to the civil war as was henry w. "old brains" halleck. most of you are saying, oh, gee, that's nice. who cares? well, that's the usual attitude. that's the usual response we get. over the years most historians have not had a positive evaluation of this man. i think it's fair to say historians have vied with one another to come up with ingenious

if he asks grant or henry halleck for help, what are they going to say? don't worry about it, it is not your job. wallace will return that no love lost situation. he writes about henry halleck that he had no genius except as wasrplot, at which he incomparable. i had to plug the dictionary. a marplot is someone who ruins a plan by being meddlesome. he is basically calling him a big you body -- calling him a busybody. goingve got these barbs back and forth, and in that topsy-turvy attitude, that is when garrett comes into play. you have the same man complaining about thunder and shouts, garrett is his opportunity to go to the front. so he promises garrett that he is going to defend that railroad. and especially he is going to defend the railroad at the crossing of the monocacy river. the western boundary is the monocacy river. he cannot officially go across that river. monocacy is his boundary. he is going to say to garrett, i'm going to defend your iron railroad bridge. and i'm going to do that. so at midnight on july 5, without telling anybody, wallace gr

you can get a lot done in that space and it was sufficient for henry david thoreau. not immediately but he soon planted a field of beans and he tried to get by in part on them. for the rest of his living, it was supplies that he would get from town, rice and things like that. he came to walden with ideas about what wildness is. after wilderness but wildness. that is what interested him. the part of the exercise in coming to walden was to remove himself from culture. it sounds sort of drastic but you do catch artists at that every now and again. - is a good example he went to tahiti and part of the reason was to put all of europe behind him. and this is something that emerson suggested in a number of places but he thought it was important for americans to put that behind them. one good way to do it was come out and live by yourself in a house with no neighbors. at that point. historically, there have been other people living out here but for the most part they were gone when henry david thoreau without hip it after he came to walden the idea of the book walden started

who was hated more, braxton brag or henry halleck? >> well, i think braxton brag was probably more hated, maybe even more hated by historians. you know the story about a famous historian writing the first volume of his biography of braxton brag, getting to hate him so much he never wrote his second volume and made one of his graduate students do it. but then i did the biography of halleck. so what does that say about me? i don't know. yeah. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> at the very beginning of your lecture you mentioned that after halleck came to washington, he was involved in every major decision. can you think of any player north or south that could have done his job almost as well or as well or maybe even better than he did? >> good question. everybody hear that? yeah. you know, is there anybody else that could have done that job? i'm sure there was. but sometimes people say, you know, lincoln really blew it when he appointed halleck instead of grant to be commanding general back there in 1862. i don't think so. i don't think gra

joseph henry was not wild about the auditorium. joseph wanted a collections and spend more money on science and go in that direction and got his wish after that. he also got rid of the library. the commons area which is downstairs was the library. he said we do not need book s. give them to the library of congress. not really a good idea because what is this full of? scientist. they had books, and they kept accumulating all of these books for decades. they were piled up everywhere. in 1968, dillon ripley said let's create the smithsonian libraries. they created 22 and the books were put into the libraries. every museum on that mall out there has a library, some more than they are the heart of the one. building where all of the information is in the library. that is where you go to find out whatever you need and that is why the libraries were created in and they have been there ever 1968 since. it all started with the fire. everything emanated. the smithsonian altered itself. it took about six years to rebuild the building and went

now, it's logical that henry hudson might appear on the new york state capitol since it was henry hudson who came to albany, discovered albany in 1609. joseph brant, we're not sure why he's there. a native american who fought against the americans during the revolutionary war. but you can see that the capitol is a marble and stone carving. and we will talk more about that when we go inside. we're standing in the capitol's hall of governors. and this is a very historic place. there are portraits of 51 of new york's 56 governors hanging here outside the executive chamber. the tradition of gubernatorial portraits began in 1813 when the state legislator commissioned a portrait of george clinton, who was new york state's first governor. since then it has proceeded whereby family and friends of the governors pay for or commission the portraits. and as you walk along you can see nelson rockefeller, you can see william seward on the wall behind you where the door was, abraham lincoln's secretary of state during the civil war, grover cleveland who went onto become president, theodore roosevelt, w

henry brown carved in marble those images i have just mentioned. and planned for the pediment of the building an even more elaborate or symbolism of the political economy of this state. in the pediment of this building over the columns on the front, which of course faces north. henry brown planned images of slaves working in the rice and cotton. henry brown's skull churl composition i find tremendously moving. because it represented the will of the political elite on the one hand, and the horrific servitude of black enslaved fru agricultural labor on the other hand. the figures were produced by destroyed just as the system was destroyed when columbia was burned in the civil war. when the sculpture was destroyed, it was never replaced. and today, the pediment is blank. and has always been so. the state house itself was a stone and brick building. it had no roof, and no floor. when the city burned. and so the building itself did not burn. but all the materials that were stored on the ground in wood sheds were destroyed. beginning in the 1820s, people

henry david thorough first came out here is a little boy. he remembered that excursion long after, but he came here with his family to gather sand for his father's sandpaper manufacturing enterprise, and he came here to live. it was actually on july 4, 1845 that he came to live and was out here for two years after that. at his friend, not long before had bought the property we are standing on now as a woodlot, basically. the soil isn't good for much except growing trees. he asked emerson if he could put up a structure here and stay here for a while and they said sure. his principal purpose was to find a sort of writer studio for himself. it was something he had been thinking about for several years and the specific project he had in mind with a book in memoriam to his brother john who had died in 1841. the book is about a trip that he took in john 1839. they were both very young. they took a trip by vote up to new hampshire. that is loosely the thread that runs through a week on merrimack which is the book that he wrote right here. while he

henry paddock was interest -- henry pettit was interested in impressing visitors with his home, but he didn't like to spend any more than seemed necessary. onliked spending it newspapers, but not the surly his furnishings. here is his original bed, and other frightening -- furnishing stuff he had. it was not a big or grand bed, but he thought it was comfortable and functional, so he was going to stick with it. thatso have an inventory showed what furnishings were in the house when he died in 1919 that help us to know how the furnished it, which is just moving up the old furniture from his smaller house that he had downtown. for instance, it tells us what is in the grand ballroom in the basement, he was using it as a spare room, storing old unneeded furniture and occasionally broken furniture. he was always very happy and interested to invest the money he made right back into the paper, however he thought it was important to get the latest technology. in the early 1860's, he took a trip down to san francisco to get the latest press, continue to update us throughout the years. in 1890's,

that is it that this hour but henry oi’ that is it that this hour but henry or henri as it says, jacqui evening. the it really has been a gorgeous day for many of us with lots of blue sky and lots of sunshine coming through. i hope you managed to get out and enjoy. just take a look at this fabulous weather watcher's picture down in kent this afternoon. as you can see, very, very pleasant indeed along the coast. and in fact we saw highs just to the west of london of 23 celsius. as we went through the day we had a scattering of showers into scotland and cloud and rain gathering out in the west. the sign of what is to come as we move through the night tonight and into tomorrow. all change for most of us as the wet and often windy weather starts to push in across northern ireland and into western scotland. certainly more cloud around tonight, not as cold. best chance of seeing the perseid meteor shower the further east you are. we will start off with a lot of rain, some of it quite heavy through scotland first thing in the morning. the rain already starting to clear away to showers through

and i researched henry ford, and realized that henry ford was someone else who in my opinion had not been treated appropriately by most of the becomes wherein about him. henry ford to me was the are erie precursor of steve jobs. there's no component of the automobile that henry ford invent but he was brilliant at hiring people and firing people. brilliant at understanding what the market wanted and creating a product, even when it wasn't the best product. the model-t was never as good an automobile as, say, the buick s10, but he had this ability and he had a toughness, and so i wrote another book called "drive" about early automotive technology because i fit wilbur wright and henry ford to be contrasting in kind of interesting ways. in doing the automobile book i came across another character and his name was isaac rice and he was fascinating. came here as a boy of six, he was a musicologist, he was head of the political science -- one of the first political science professors at columbia. he was a chessmaster, built -- doesn't found the new york chess club but would play games with

henry wiseman was a lucky man. it just so happened he happened up on becoming the head of the baker's union at the same time the guilder community was doing its service. and it was the power of these individuals, i call them mainstream reformers, they favored good government. working on the problems of poverty in the tenement houses, and they had just enough stroke in the political system in new york that they could get a law like this passed. the unions could not have done that. they were split in three groups, they had no power, money or ability to influence the legislature. which, by the way, you mentioned levi morton at the beginning, levi morton was not the important personality here. it was thomas collier platt who ran the state with an iron fist, they might -- the mainstream reformers may, because there were enough republicans to stop the democrats in tammany hall in new york city. >> next is the call from steve. >> caller: i love the series -- my question doesn't pertain directly to the supreme court case.

for example, henry dearborn was put in charge of the american army. he really wanted to stay in boston because he loved to buy supplies. he'd burn up the appropriations happily. he was reluctant to go to the front. but when he did and he had his first review of the american army, first his hat fell off, then he lost the grip on the pummel on his saddle, and henry dear item born fell -- dearborn pell off, and the horse ran away in front of the american army. [laughter] well, that's only embarrassing. madison also appointed someone name william hall who'd been a major in the revolution and gave him our northwestern army and charge of the entire what we call the midwest. hall had to, a couple of problems. one, a little inebriated, and two, to his new duty station in detroit he took his daughter and his grandchildren to be out on the frontier right near tecumseh. so when tecumseh and the british attack detroit, he hunkered in a corner weeping and surrendered without even conferring with his officers. william hull became the first and only american general
