this is during the hoover administration. he doesn't have to wait until the administration of franklin delano roosevelt. it is interesting to note that pull. very much understood republican politics of going out and talking to people because he had to. he started as a city councilman and worked his way up and there's not a change of corruption associated with him, none of the sort of thing we expect of people who are machine politicians in our day. don't know if that helps. the gentleman in the back. >> my question relates to his economic and budget cutting policies. coolidge was well known for using the veto to get rid of pork barrel spending. many could look at it as an example of where republican politicians should go today. many have said theircumstances are entirely different now than they were in the 1920s. would it be possible to have a president who is a ruthless budget cutters like coolidge was today? >> here is where i part company with my friend who wrote a good book on coolidge as well. i believe that coolidge's b

that we must do so with the back professor of strength putt you worked with george but here at the hoover institution national security we interviewed secretary shultz and one of his reasons that if you're going to point* a year in and somebody can they said then nuclear-armed iran may be an acceptable and that they support terrorism is unacceptable that we have the option on the table. the president said he will prevent a nuclear arms iran and most recently said the president is not interrupting so there's a lot of word express but i have allowed to but they start -- up to fire missiles at the u.s. flag reedy vessel. we made our point* and iran, if anything was more eager to negotiate as a result of we have negative fitting from but talking about two years ago all we did was indict the i rgc officials and had three identified the song that did not do any good but he went on killing americans and blowing up american ships until the touch amount. that is what. >>host: at the beginning you said we should not attack and it would be bad to be the wrong policy. how to operate from a position o

signed actually by hoover, but, hey, call it fdr, what the heck. in 1976, there was a swine flu epidemic in the united states. there were mass vaccination campaigns, the head of the cdc that year asked congress to fund enough swine flu vaccine to cover 80% of the population in the united states. one of the most memorable images from that epidemic was this picture of then president jerold ford himself cheer fly participating in the swine flu vaccination program, trying to encourage everybody in the country to get their swine flu shot, because there was a swine flu epidemic. in 1976, under republican president jerold ford. >> i find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under another democratic party, jimmy carter. i'm not blaming this on president obama, i just think it was an interesting question. >> it was gerald ford, actually, but whatever. this was the battle of concord in the revolutionary war, the big fight against the british. the battles of lexington and concord were fought in 1775 in the great state

edgar hoover was in charge of the fbi for almost 50 of those years. after j. edgar hoover was there for half a century and the congress decided in its wisdom that maybe fbi directors should have term limits, so they are term limited to ten years, ten years. ten years, that's still a really long time, right? in our government, nobody has a ten-year term. that's a really long time for anybody to be in office. and even with that incredibly and unusually long term that fbi directors can stay in office now, for the current director of the fbi, congress decided that they were going to stretch it even further than ten years for him. robert muller was appointed to run the fbi by president george w. bush in 2001. bob muller took office exactly one week before 9/11 happened. but he was appointed in 2001, so the end of his ten-year term came up in 2011 and that should have been it for him, but the obama administration and the senate decided that they would keep bob muller on at the fbi for another couple of years anyway. most of the reporting at the time said it was, ess

people assume.was the same sort of situation the government policy of herbert hoover and fdr put the great in the great depression so even in 1932 there is a draft coolidge campaign people thought he still had things to say and teach but he died in 1933 it is important to understand dealing with herbert hoover he owes his success to being a good republican party said he would not go out publicly to cause problems but nevertheless he does criticize the of problems of the hoover administration and a number of big government republican policies of the day and that part of this story has not been told satisfactorily. >> [inaudible] >> 2016? [laughter] i was going to say i met the gentleman two weeks ago who turned 101 and he remembers calvin coolidge so that was something to talk with him but through 2016 senator ted cruz did endorse my book so i would be remiss. [laughter] if i didn't mention him but i do think there was the reason i asked him harvard-educated, credential but seriously educated adults think harvard is a place that it was the key is one as a serious thinker and i would e

it is interesting to note i go into the relationship of him and his successor herbert hoover. i am sure we will get a question but he criticized herbert hoover on free-market grounds and said for six years that man has given me unsolicited device as commerce secretary all of it was bad and referred to him as he is wonder boy and writing his column he criticizes a socialistic notion of government he does not even have to wait until the administration of fdr. is interesting to note that coolidge very much understood republican in politics because he had to ann started as a city councilman not wanting to of corruption not the sort of thing you would expect if machine politicians in our day. >> my question relates to the budget cutting policies. of course, he is well known to use the veto to get rid of all pork barrel spending and many of the book at him as an example where republic politicians could go to david many say the circumstances are entirely different now than they were in the 1920's. is it possible to have a president that is a ruthless budget cutters like coolidge was
