On this special President's Day episode, host Winston Brady interviews Amity Shlaes, author of four New York Times-bestsellers and Chairman of the Board of the Calvin Coolidge Foundation, to celebrate the life and example of President Calvin Coolidge.
On President's Day, we focus on those presidents who accomplished great deeds for their country: men like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln, among others, who led the country through times of great crisis and hardship. Often, President Calvin Coolidge is overlooked amongst such notable leaders because his presidency did not include such events, but his life and example, as well as the genuine prosperity that occurred during his presidency, merit President Coolidge being celebrated on such occasions as President's Day.
As president, Coolidge believed that his role was to step back and refrain from doing anything that might limit the opportunities of individual Americans to pursue their natural, God-given rights of life, liberty, and happiness.
