Test garfield figures this out, goes up to new york and suddenly saves millions of dollars in his first week as president. Lots of appointments we dont have time to go into. The one that i think is one of the more fun ones, we talked about him last week because he was one of the judges at the lincoln conspiracy trial and that is general lou wallace. Garfield appoints him to be the ambassador to turkey. Lou wallace wrote about the ben hur. And he tells lou wallace, im appointing you to be an ambassador to a Muslim Country so you can write another book. He gets involved with an ohio senator by the name of George Pendleton to try and draft civil supervisory form. Sadly, it only passes after garfields death. Good point for us to stop here and shift to the second character in our story. And there is nothing more different than this absolutely brilliant latin and greek scholar, president of the university, lawyer who argues ex parte militant, architecture, designs his own house, mathematicia
Good evening. Welcome to mt. Vernon. My name is kevin butterfield. And it is my pleasure to welcome you here tonight on behalf of the Mount Vernons lady associations and Ford Motor Company which sponsors a free monthly book talk to learn from the greatest historians. Thank you for being here tonight. Were thrilled to have you. To begin the Program Shortly well hear a brief presentation from susan swain, copresident and executive officer of cspan and coauthors of the president s. Shell be joined by brian lamb, the founder and executive chairman of cspan and moderating and esteemed group of historians in discussing the american presidency. The american presidency is as you know a fascinating subject of inquiry in every possible way. In the constitution, theres not as much said about it as you might imagine. Article i is quite long, ii much shorter and the key phrase is about as short as you can imagine. The executive power should be vested in a president of the United States of america.
la la la la. floyd. guys, enough. this gets you nowhere. and republicans now realize that. look at desantis and abbott, governors of texas and florida, they didn t just sit back and complain about the border. they took action. and mostled migrant was to blue states. if you want to win, you got to go on offense. you have to put the democrats on the defense. and make the media work for you. we re three weeks from the midterms and republicans have momentum. they can play it safe or they can start putting points on the border. j.d. vance in ohio was accused of traffics in racism. that s what democrats do. they play the race card and count on republicans to cower. but j.d. vance did something i haven t seen in a long time. he stood up for himself. he stood up for his family. and he got his point across and shoved the race card right back in tim ryan s face. my own children, my by racial children get attacked by scum bags online and in person because you are so desperate

Karl rove, your moderator. [applause] good morning. What a pleasure to be here to talk about some of the most important subjects that are on everybodys mind. Today we are going to have a wonderful opportunity to talk to three outstanding experts about the election that changed our history. Somebody who once worked on many campaigns, i will be fascinated to hear the assessment of my colleagues here. Lets start with you, hw. How these we should be looking at transformation as an overarching theme for discussion, president ial leadership . When i think about a. Elections i talk about two categories, those elections whose importance is not known until after the election because the election sets up certain conditions, brings in a certain officeholder and things happen. The election of 1942 where Franklin Roosevelt becomes president and launches the new deal, the moment he won no one knew how big a deal it was. In 1860 Abraham Lincoln was elected and immediately things start to fall apart.
