And one of the people who listens to him, although does not leave the Republican Party, is Theodore Roosevelt and Henry Cabot Lodge as well, who's a senior partner in that relationship early on. And they look at this and they're like, we cannot have a democracy when you have literally children who have no education, who are working and living in the streets and so on.

And they pick up that critique of industrial capitalism and its marriage to government, and they create the progressive era. And William McKinley, when he is elected in 96, is elected as this reaction to Grover Cleveland. And with the idea that he's gonna bring this government to fruition, of big business and the lawmakers.

And of course, there is a, let's just call it a pushback to that in the form of glass worker slash steel worker who has been blacklisted for his work with the union, a guy named Leon Chalgos. And when that backlash happens, Theodore Roosevelt becomes president, we get the progressive era.

So it's funny because everybody who studies Grover Cleveland falls in love with him. And somebody said, and I did the same. I read about it in one of my books. And somebody said, why don't you write a book? Why don't you write a biography of him? And I said, because there's three on the market from the other three people who have studied him. And I would be the fourth.

And there's only four readers for those three books or those four books. So Cleveland is, and I'm making fun, but like I say, I've written about him a lot. He desegregated the New York City police force. He, I mean, there's a number of things he did that,

He's a really interesting switch because the Democratic Party had been really wedded to the former Confederates after the Civil War, and they lose the 1880 election quite unexpectedly to everybody, not just to them. And that's when we get James Garfield, who's really kind of a Lincoln Republican. He's assassinated, so we never really see what that would have become.

But the Democratic Party says, we can't stick with these old unreconstructed Southerners. We're going to move to the urban cities. And that's when they get Grover Cleveland. And Grover Cleveland really builds up the idea of politics as sort of that urban idea of taking care of everybody within the party that becomes Tammany Hall. It's already Tammany Hall, but he links to that.

And that quite directly becomes FDR. Anyway, Cleveland gave a bunch of great speeches. There's a bunch of these old biographies of him. I've written about him in Western Appomattox, I think, and in The Wounded Knee, the massacre book. I don't know. I'm not sure you need to spend the rest of your life on him, but he's interesting.
