after that, i was at the center for presidential history, historian at the white house historical association before going out on my own and doing a lot of writing and speaking. it is really fun to return here. feels like coming home. host: you missed a chance to talk about "making the presidency." guest: that is my new book, coming out september 5. i did most of that research at the international conference. it looks at the john adams presidency and what it takes to ensure that the presidency works and survives once washington leaves. he was so unparalleled in his stature, a lot of the american people genuinely were not sure that it would work for anyone else. john adams established a number of critical norms and precedents that are with us today, including most importantly, the first and second peaceful transfers of power as the bedrock for a democratic society. host: making the presidency, john adams and the prece dents that formed the republic. point pleasant beach, new jersey. republican. good morning. caller: good morning. a couple of points. listening to president biden yesterday and t

this is a speech i did a program for the white house historical association last night for history. happy hour on for first lady's speeches that made the list of the top 100 political speeches 20th century. and i was asked what was left out and this was the first speech i mentioned her 1975 speech because. she's talking during international year of the woman and she's talking about the era. and but she's talking about the role of. first lady. so let me read you a couple of things she said. but my own support of the equal rights amendment has shown what happens when a definition proper behavior. yes, the expected collides with right of an individual to personal opinions. i do not believe. that being first lady should prevent me from expressing my views. i spoke out on this important issue because of my deep personal convictions. why should my husband's job or yours prevent from being ourselves? there's that authenticity again, being lady like does not require silence and expect us to have absolutely so. so that. thank you, diana. sheila actually, that takes me you because. and in you

and thanks to the white house historical association for having me tonight. i guess i should say everything i'll talk about tonight, of course, is my own view on things, not the national park service's. i just have to throw that disclaimer in there. but i am happy to be both a national park service employee in a historian, james garfield. you know, when people think about james garfield, what they generally think is the few things that they know about him, which is he was president, he had a beard and he got shot. and those things are all true, no doubt about it. they're all true. but there was a lot more to garfield than that. he was a brilliant academic prior to prior to his political career. he grew up here in northeast ohio. i'm just not that far from where john is, down at the marble room there. and i think i maybe would like to head there when this is over tonight to get one of those old fashions that looks pretty good, but he was he was born and raised here in northeast ohio. you know, never really called himself an abolitionist, but he was very, very
