susan swain: thank you. pamela sanfilippo: longstreet was a distant cousin of julia's and so when grant was first courting julia at white haven, longstreet was also stationed at jefferson barracks and came out. it's -- there's a possibility, although the record is not quite clear, that longstreet actually served as one of grant's groomsmen at the wedding. susan swain: how long after general grant, president grant's death was the famous grant's tomb built in new york city? pamela sanfilippo: that was dedicated april 22nd, 1897. susan swain: and at his passing, how did the country mourn him? pamela sanfilippo: i believe it was the largest funeral ever held in the country. susan swain: larger than lincoln's? pamela sanfilippo: mm-hmm. they brought his body from mount mcgregor, where he had passed away, into new york city and buried his body in a temporary tomb in riverside park in new york city, and then began the fundraising effort to build the -- the tomb that we know today. susan swain: and julia was alive f

susan swain: tom? thomas culbertson: the hayeses collected over 12,000 books, all of which are at the rutherford hayes library in fremont, ohio. and she preferred light fiction. she liked harriet beecher stowe, not necessarily "uncle tom's cabin." she liked to read to the children. rutherford's taste went more to shakespeare and the heavier drama, but william dean howells was a relative by marriage, so they would sit around and read to each other from the latest howells book or dickens. susan swain: while we're talking about life in the white house, an interesting juxtaposition about the hayeses' interests. they were interested in the white house as a building. they were antiquarians who preserved and even found some of their predecessors' furniture but they were also interested in technology. allida black: yes. susan swain: so they brought the typewriter. they put plumbing in the white house. what else did they do to the building? allida black: well, i'm not really sure. tom, do you know that? thomas

susan swain: mrs.obertson, i understand your grandmother was very kind and even helped raise you, but that didn't keep you from getting a scolding from her when you missed a weekly family event? ann cleveland robertson: that's true. [laughter] that was the soul of my grandmother. well, this one incident happened on a sunday night in new hampshire in tamworth, where we go in the summer. and on sunday nights, we used to get together. the finley family, who introduced my grandmother and grandfather to tamworth, and the cleveland family, we would get together and sing hymns. and we all really enjoyed that. but each person had their own favorite hymn. but one sunday, i got together with a whole group and went bowling with my cousin and our square dancing friends and, you know, had a very good time. and i didn't think there was anything terribly malicious about that. but mrs. finley was my godmother, also my grandmother's closest -- one of her closest friends, and she called my grandmother the next day and s

swain: and g. robinson on twitter asks us, "did lucretia have the opportunity to host any events at the white house? we saw her china. anthony: she hosted regular receptions, and it's fascinating that at one of those, a man by the name of charles guiteau, who would shoot the president two months later, met her and recorded having a very pleasant conversation with her and really liking her. and then, of course, she gets malaria, there's fear that she might die. as she's recovering it's thought that she would do better at the jersey shore, to -- with the salt air. and guiteau, again, ready to shoot the president, comes in -- is waiting for him at the railroad station, and he sees him escorting mrs. garfield and he can't bring himself to shoot the president. swain: that's in june. anthony: in june. swain: and so i want to pause for dramatic effect here because just a short while later, july 2, 1881, he gets a second chance. tell us that story of the assassination. anthony: well, the president is on hi

susan swain: frank. so in your closing paragraphs of this, you make the case that she has been somewhat lost to history, but shouldn't be. why? annette dunlap: well, because she was very strong in education, very strong in the arts, and those are things that we still think are very important today.

susan swain: thanks so much. he wasn't listening earlier, i think, when -- thomas culbertson: well, we have more than 100 in our database, so -- susan swain: are any of them in politics? thomas culbertson: there aren't any at the national level. there is a mayor in california republican and a woman. susan swain: and we've been looking at quotes from lucy, but let's show you a quote from rutherford hayes, the president, about lucy, who said of her, "i don't know how much influence mrs. hayes has with congress but she has great influence with me." what was her approach like? some of the first ladies actually would sit in the

susan swain: okay. just to summarize that, then there have been two father-son combinations, the adams and the bushes, and this was the only grandfather-grandson -- dr. seale: yeah, exactly clarify that, right. susan swain: in the white house history. so -- edith mayo: and the campaign benjamin harrison's campaign was all about little tippecanoe or young tippecanoe. dr. seale: you saw the log cabin in the picture. edith mayo: right, and that had been his grandfather's campaign slogan. and also, there was something about he's -- you know, he fits his grandfather's hat, so you saw lots of hats as a, you know, campaign device during harrison's campaign. susan swain: gary robinson asks on twitter, did caroline's interest in history and the presidency fuel desires for her to be the dar -- that's the daughters of the american republic -- president or vice versa? now, to answer that question it's interesting that she took on the role as the president general of the dar. dr. seale: now, there's a story there. s

susan swain: let me read just some quick quotes to our viewers. about the chief justice, you said that he sprayed graffiti on the constitution. about chief justice roberts, and justice kennedy, you call them political hacks without term limits. matt schlapp: that's right. in the first question of graffiti, i don't want to think that five members of the constitution can actually change the meaning of the constitution. graffiti is -- they have cosmetically damaged it. john roberts was absolutely dead wrong, i believe, on the decision on obamacare. he was on the minority side on the issue of marriage the constitutional rights therein. i think the question is whether they are honest with the president who appointed them. people say this shows you that george w bush did not make the right pick. george w. bush, george h.w. bush, and ronald reagan, they all batted about 500 on their picks to the supreme court on these really hot button issues. it is a real problem for republicans. if you look at democrat presidents, at least in my lifetime, they never wh

susan swain: our guest on "newsmakers" is matt schlapp.e is the chair of the american conservative union. c-span viewers will be mostly familiar with the organization from the annual cpac convention that we have been introducing for years. let me introduce our two reporters who will be questioning him. sean sullivan is at "the washington post." pete schroeder is at "the hill." sean, i think you are at first. sean sullivan: thank you, mr. chairman. matt schlapp: matt. sean sullivan: if you like. i want to move to a candidate who is making a lot of news this week, donald trump. he said some pretty controversial things about mexican immigrants. he said they bring drugs, crime, and rapists. he has actuallly got himself in some problems with his business dealings because of it. do you agree or disagree with his comments? do you think they were harmful to the republican race and the republican field? matt schlapp: i think the comments are slightly different from what you just said. i heard him on the radio saying today that what he was talking a

susan swain: frank. so in your closing paragraphs of this, you make the case that she has been somewhat lost to history, but shouldn't be. why? annette dunlap: well, because she was very strong in education, very strong in the arts, and those are things that we still think are very important today. susan swain: and how did she change the role of first lady? annette dunlap: she changed it in terms of putting education in the forefront and getting involved with education and taking care of children. she was really concerned about how children were cared for, and that was something she definitely emphasized. susan swain: and, taylor where would you put her in the pantheon of first ladies we've been learning about this year? taylor stoermer: she's the first celebrity first lady, the first national celebrity first lady. and i think when we're talking about the development of our understanding of the institution of the first lady, then she is the first one in which we get to start thinking about what really ar

susan swain: so, talk about the susan: so, talk about the first lady herself. she had been the wife of a general, and that brings certain sorts of skill sets along with it. what did she bring to the role in the white house? william: she brought an incredibly strong supporting role to the president. their -- their lives had been that way. she ultimately was very supportive of him. she'd argue, and all, but she was supportive to him. and they wanted to represent in the white house the ideal american family. and they weren't there but a few days when this huge portrait was brought in on an ox cart and hung in the red room. you know, the white house had been open to the public since jefferson's time. and they put this in the red room, this huge picture of the grant family so the public could see it on the tours -- see this was their home, this is where they lived. so, this whole symbolic home julia grant developed. susan: since you're working on a biography of her, tell us about her personality and what kind of
