yes, warren harding brought us the tea pot dome scandal. it almost pales next to the scandals going on in the justice department under warren harding. so, yes, that's bad. but on the other side, warren harding became president in 1921. he stabilized the national economy. he calmed the country down from an anti-red, anti-immigrant period. he is the one who pardoned eugene debbs, got him out of prison as a very important act of goodwill. he did not get the country into any war at all. and the actual tea pot dome scandals generally affected other people, did not directly reflect on him. so i would not argue he belongs in the top two thirds. however, from the last compared to some of the others, i would quibble with that. on the upside i have a problem with lyndon johnson. and the reason is this. yes, his record on civil rights, his record on domestic policy, the creation of the great society, these are all extremely positive things that would put him in the upper tier. my very first involvement in politics, when i was a junior in high school,

yes, warren harding brought us the which was a high scandal.it was under the interior department always pales next to the scandals that were going on in the justice department under warren harding. so, yes, that's bad. but on the other side warren harding became president in 1921 and he stabilized the national economy. he calmed the country down from an anti-red, anti-immigrant period. he is the one that an important effort towards good will and the actual teapot dome scandals actually affected other people, did not reflect on him. so i would not argue he belongs in the top two thirds. b however, from the last compared to some of the others i would quibble with that. on the upside, i have a problem with linden johnson, and the reason is this. yes, his record on civil rights, his record on policy, the creation of the great society, these are all extremely positive things that would put him in the upper tier. however, this perhaps is where a president in our lifetime and the way we react to him might be -- my very first involvement in politics wh

. -- give to warren harding. he said he looked like a president and from that point on, that is where the emblems ended. sorry to interrupt you. [laughter] >> are you done? >> yes. [laughter] >> although i admire the effort to have 10 categories and try to get people to think in a disciplined way and not just react reflexively about the presidents, something gets lost in that process in terms of the overall impact of the presidents. we start slicing and dicing these different categories. for example, i was glad to hear what administrative skills was supposed to mean but i was not sure when i read it. something we all need to bring to this is to think about what we can figure out about the significance of the presidents and the times that they had to live with and figure out how to deal with. about where presidents are ranked, the books that historians write have a great deal of impact. we were talking about eisenhower and the stephen ambrose book. i read a book by evan thomas that came out recently that gave grea

i think the best thing you can say about warren harding, he looked presidential. that was pretty much it. he looked presidential. it was the most corrupt administration that we had until that time, and maybe in all of our history. he escaped a lot of the because he died in office, but before that, the teapot dome, the most scandalous of all the scandals, was revealed when it turned out that the interior secretary, albert fole, had accepted bribes from private oil companies to lease public lands, public naval oil reserves. when harding came from ohio, he brought his pals with him, the ohio gang, and they had a very good time. they drank a lot, even though it was during prohibition. there was wine, women and song. they really enjoyed national politics. anyway, then he died rather suddenly, and the person who took his place, his vice president, calvin coolidge, was probably as different from harding as two humans can be. harding, what can you say? he didn't even talk. he knew how to talk but he didn't talk. he was the new englander. he came from vermont, but had made

i recognize my view on warren harding is a minority view but i would recommend the john dean book to you on the series of harding who speaks to his defense. very briefly, we talked about the ten standards, the ten categories used to judge presidents. one thing that has always struck me about it -- one is a book i wrote called boss tweed of tammy hall. i learned about a lot of the old machine politics. the expression 100 years ago or 150 years ago among political bosses was the number one way you judge a politician is are they loyal to their friends? loyalty to your friends is the number one trait. right up to the gates of state prison, loyalty to your friends. that used to be the standard among political professionals. it is not one of the ten anymore. arguably it should not be but i have always wondered if we perhaps lose something as not -- by not having that as one of the standards. >> john let me just say in our audience today, you should know that he wrote a book on richard nixon and is working on one about ted kennedy. there is an enormous amount of talent in this room. >> i wan

but he had none of the tools that would amplify the campaigns of future presidents. not that warren hardingognized radio's potential. as for calvin coolage, they didn't call him silent cal for nothing. herbert hoover? no, he never got the hang of radio either. that was left for franklin roosevelt and those famous fire side chats. >> this bank holiday, while resulting in many cases in great inconvenience, is affording us the opportunity to supply the currency necessary to meet the situation. >> and he's explaining to the american people he's about to shutdown the banking system. there is an incredible intimacy to his voice, but it has a quality of compassion to it. >> it is your problem, my friends, your problem no less than it is mine. together we cannot fail. >> reporter: this, remember, was at a time when radio announcers wore tuxedos to work. >> quiet, please. >> reporter: when their delivery was incredibly stylized. >> romanov and his violin. >> reporter: and what did f.d.r. do? >> the task that we americans now face -- >> reporter: he memorized those talks so that his delivery was much

look at warren harding the most scandalous administration in history the teapot dome scandal, and oilscandal, veterans bureau and then the attorney general justice department conflicting everything from bootleggin bootlegging, stock manipulation, suicides and murders and a nasty justice department and corrupt attorney general. calvin coolidge is still the only accidental president to ascend with less than a year to go. the election of 1924. knowing what the harding administration was all about and the republicans would lose in 1924 the powers handed over to the democrats. he has a very self reflective moment to recognize he is borin boring. there are many stories of his significance my favorite is he's at the hotel and the hotel is on fire he is told you need to evacuate he said i'm the vice president and then they say you can stay. [laughter] then they turn around vice president of what and he says the united states and they said no you have to evacuate we thought you meant of the hotel. so coolidge developed a strategy he takes the truth to be boring and insignificant to cultivate a

the united states, warren harding, calvin coolidge, herbert hoover was not friendly to the left in any way, and the labor movement didn't really come back to life in a big way until the 1930's under franklin roosevelt. >> thank you very much. we have again just wonderful questions coming in. this is a group of history educators, of course. >> i can see. i can see from the questions. >> you can see them? in fact, it's, i'm seeing a number of questions about your primary sources, if some of them are available digitally, particularly that map you showed, or will they be cited and reproduced in your upcoming book? i think we all are pretty enamored with those documents. >> that amazing map i found online. i couldn't tell you exactly the website involved, but i think if you google "ethnic map of new york, military intelligence 1919," it will very quickly bring something up. one set of resources that are online now, through an organization, a website called fold3.com, associated with ancestry.com, has digitized a vast number of military records. they've also digitized the records of the bure

except for warren harding.lincoln, in effect, was a product of the smoke-filled room. >> would you like to go back to that? >> as oppose to primaries? >> yes. >> yeah. i think the problem with the electoral process today is it's so -- it's like kabuki theater. it's so stylized, it's so scripted, it's, frankly, performed with that camera in mind. and that has distorted our democracy arguably more than any other single factor. >> i think that's the big point, it's television. in 1952 they started cover the conventions and then there became the birth of what is a telegenic candidate. now everyone wants to run because it's about brand-building and name recognition. 20 may become 30 because they're building their branding, their twitter followers, their -- >> lecture fees. >> lecture fees, balk advances and all of that. it's unfortunate. we also to be running these presidential elections like, 2 1/2 years long. it's just become a very drawn-out process, which i think is a bit unfortunate, but how that's going stop i

in 1921, warren harding became president, and under pressure from those demonstrations, he finally let the remaining prisoners out of jail. he even invited eugene debs to visit him on the way home from prison. here is debs, leaving harding's office after that visit. he joked he had run for president five times, but this was the first time he'd actually gotten to the white house. so, what can we conclude about this era? i think it was a time when american democracy came very close to losing its soul, and also a time that reminds us that -- of the dark currents of xenophobia, nativism and a -- and eagerness to hunt for scapegoats that have long run below the surface of this country and still run there today. i think it's a good time to remember words that emma goldman said in court in 1917 just before she was sentenced to prison. remember, she was on trial for organizing against the draft, and she was accused of being unpatriotic. she said to the jury, gentlemen of the jury, we respect your patriotism, but may there not be different kinds of patriotism? our patriotism is that of the man

that is warren harding. and behind him is john adams, who is tough to see because of all of the overgrowth. the neatest fact that i've come across through a lot of my research is ronald reagan, when he was asked what his proudest accomplishment in life was, it had nothing to do with his presidency nor his acting career. his proudest accomplishment in life is he claims to have saved 77 lives from when he was a young man as a lifeguard. and i thought that was very interesting. the question always comes up, will obama ever be here or was he ever here? the answer to that question is the goal for the original park was every time a president was to come into office, that a two-foot-tall prototype was going to be made as a sample approved upon and then brought full scale. so when obama was coming into office, they approached the owner of the park at the time, who i think had already recognized the financial difficulties that were going on, declined for financial reasons to go full scale on the obama. so they just k

that elects warren harding, one of our worst presidents ever. but this is alice paul who was about five-foot nothing, and just an absolute fierce proponent of suffrage. and she is toasting every time they would get a state they would add another star to it. so she is toasting to the fact that tennessee's star is now attached to the suffrage flag. so, yay. so we get prohibition, but there's still this major question that i've always been asking myself. okay, we amended the constitution, which is no mean feat. we only have 27 amendments so far, maybe a 28th, we'll see. but it's really hard to amend the constitution. and the framers put that very, very high hurdle in place to make sure we don't willy-nilly just amend the constitution. they really expected us to have a national consensus about any issue before we monkey around with the constitution. so that then kind of raises this question did a national consensus around prohibition actually exist? and why did prohibition fail? since the dry cause got their way, why did people immediately start boo

warren harding, we're learning more about warren harding and his active love life. he's in 40th spot. franklin pierce, new hampshire's only president, 54st position. frank lynn pierce had a very difficult time with sectionalism and came into office with an incredible tragedy which he'll tell you very briefly. he and his wife had three sons. two died before he was elected to the presidency. the third son, 11-year-old benny was riding on a train with his parent in new hampshire as they made their way to washington. the train had an accident. beeny was thrown out of the train and killed. the president carried his son's lifeless body back to his wife on the train and that's how they started his presidency. his wife spent much of the first years in the white house in mourning leads writing letters to her departed son. very difficult personal start and a very difficult time in our nation's history. 42 in place, andrew johnson first president to be impeached. i'll leave it at that because of time. and there is good old james buchanan, worst president ever. okay. quickly on

number 40, warren harding. he scored 360 out of 1000. we know some much about the scandals that plagued his presidency. the biographer we selected was john dean. that john dean of watergate fame that knows a thing or two about presidential scandals. he uncovered papers of warren harding that were previously unknown to biographers and argues that he deserves a little bit better than the place the historians have given him. it is up for you to decide. next is franklin pierce. new hampshire's only president. 41st place. he also had a bit of a drinking problem. you might remember that he came in to office with a tremendous tragedy. they had three sons, you have lost two of them. and the third died in front of his wife and himself as their train capsized on their way to washington. he carried his son's dead body up from the accident and his wife had a hard time recovering from that. they spent much of the first couple of years on the second floor writing letters to her dead son. it is a very tragic story. he had a hard time focusing and assem

precisely 100 years ago that, coming off the one-two punch of world war i and the spanish flu, warren harding popularized a phrase and ran for president on the sloga"" return to normalcy." he won the election, but there was no normalcy. there was a roaring and rambunctious decade that ended wth a depression. the same principle applies today. we might speak, achingly, of our pre-covid existences, but life has changed-abruptly, profoundly and irretrievably. we will, instead, go hurtling into a new era. the real reckoning of our age, maybe of our lifetime is not whether we will prevail over the virus. it's whether our respect for science, and our collective will, so muscular during the crisis, will prevail when we reboot and rebuild. let's start with a thought exercise: it's new year's eve heading into 2020, a number, ironically, associated with perfect vision and clarity. what's your response that night upon being told that soon there will be no live sports or concerts or broadway shows? that grand central station at rush hour will look like this? that toilet paper might be more valuable than c

[laughter] next, warren harding in the 40th spot. we all heard about teapot dome and the v.a. scandal and we've learned more about his love life in the past few years, which probably doesn't impact on his service as president, but in fact, a lot went on during his presidency, she didn't finish, he was felled by heart attack. 31, franklin pierce from your neighbor to the north in new hampshire. franklin pierce had a problem with alcohol for a lot of his presidency and understandable because he has a very tragic story in his life that he had, he and his wife had had three children. two of them died before he was elected to office and on the train after -- and the train coming to washington, there was an accident with the train and the young son bennie was thrown at the age of 11 out of the train and he was killed and franklin pierce carried his son's lifeless body up to the train to his wife, and in fact, they had to deal with that as he was getting his administration settled. in number 42nd position, andrew johnson, first president to be impeached, the person that lincoln had p

warren harding. we are learning more about him as the years go by and his active love life. he is in the 40th spot. franklin pierce, new hampshire's only president, 41st position. franklin pierce had a very difficult time with sectionalism and came into office with an incredible tragedy, which i will tell you very briefly. they had three sons. two of them died before he was elected to the presidency. the third son, 11-year-old benny, was riding on the train with his parents in new hampshire as they made their way to washington. the train had a tremendous accident, benny was thrown out of the train and was killed. the president carried his son's lifeless body back to his wife on the train, and that is how they started the presidency. of course, he had a hard time assembling his cabinet. his wife spent much of the first years in the white house in the second floor writing letters to her departed son. a very difficult personal start at a very difficult time in our nations history. 42nd place, andrew johnson, the first president to be impeached. i will leave it at that because o

hoover was secretary of commerce in the warren g. hardingdministration and as secretary of commerce, on july 22 of that year, he read in an american newspaper, a publication of maxim gorky's appeal to the world. he sprang into action and cabled back to gorky, "yes, the americans would come." abouterybody was excited the idea of american relief to read russia. russia. to red argued against his request for more money to go help starving people on the others of the world. some criticism came from the political left who said hoover was not really interested in aid but was coming up with a scheme for counterrevolution. they insisted the only way soviet russia could be helped was through political recognition by the united states government. most of the criticism came from the right. at some insisted there was no real needed to go help russia. in fact, what hoover was trying to do was help american farmers who had produced too much grain and was looking for the government to buy it off their hands. others insisted charity needed to begin at home.

jeff: in 1920, warren g. harding had yet to accomplish anything in office.rians will say that he was elected president because he looked like one. he ran on a platform of america first, we will only think of america. that is true patriotism. he was invited, he and his wife, to join the vagabonds for a week or more out on the road at a camp in maryland. harding came but outfoxed the vagabonds. they expected they were going to have a lot of time to talk to him about their concerns. edison wanted to talk to him about american rubber production. ford wanted to purchase muscle shoals, some government owned property in alabama. ford never had a chance. harding, who understood the newspaper business better than anyone, had all the proceedings, had the afternoon, had the headlines, and the vagabonds were left going, what hit us? the vagabonds said, hey wait a minute, it was not that smart. ford thought he saw an opening and scandals against the harding administration started to break in 1922 in 1923. and so henry ford pretty much positioned himself to go for the rep

that we heard about over the weekend, warren buffett is not going to be here, not for the airlines. the reason that matters to so many people, especially not hardore investors is that warren buffett is usually the one who comes in in a time of distress. in 2008, he was the one who doubled down and invested in banks in their hour of need. he's taken the opposite position when it comes to airlines. how concerned should that make all of us when it comes to your future? these changes that you're making are important for our safety but are they so big that you won't be able to be profitable? >> no, stephanie, for the reasons i was describing before, we continue to be really confident about the future of air travel. again, for all this uncertainty, there's no substitute for these kinds of human connections. being able to hug your parents and grandparents. being able to attend your chid d or grandchild's graduation. the wedding of a close friend. skype is great, but you can't skype into a wedding and have the same experience. watching a ball game on tv is not the same as taking your kid to the ballpark. taking your kid to disneyland is not the same as
