Amity Shlaes talks to John about the Presidency of Calvin Coolidge:

Number Two:
New inflation numbers are out. . . They show a 0.1 % increase (not including food, energy, or anything else that actually impacts the consumer’s spending habits). Mike McKee, however, weighs in that the Fed actually uses their own number anyway: (Bloomberg)
Number One:
Kelly Evans on CNBC accidently reported on Obama’s stewardship of “two economies.”. . . Wall Street, and Main Street. (CNBC)

Other News:
Want to know what happened in Benghazi? Yeah. . . So do the rest of us. The Administration is working hard to keep witnesses silent. (FreeBeacon)
The Media started right up blaming the gun – not the person – for yesterday’s tragedy. Could we just grieve for a minute or two first, Feinstein? (DailyCaller)
