you fast-forward obviously with lyndon baines johnson and him giving that speech at howard saint blackricans are being treated well and we have to give you quality plus benefits which was welfare. what we are seeing is that the strategy is being consistent realizing the upper handouts without reading the fine print. the fine print is always those things invariably harm black american society. a really interesting point in society to observe actually and i will asked the question and you might possibly know this answer but black unemployment was lower for black americans and white americans and the answer to that is in 1903. what changed in 1931? the governments decided to get involved in the federal minimum wage ensuring that black americans couldn't compete and it was done because of democrat racist in congress. they didn't want lack americans getting getting their jobs so they instituted in 1931 the davis-bacon act which federalized minimum wage and her black americans all these things at every point the government gets involved black americans heard. what i propose it might look is

presidents -- william howard taft comes to mind -- people who are, again, almost too rational, too cerebral, who don't have in their dna whatever that political gene in that enables a lyndon johnson in the most extreme example to thrive. >> what were the circumstances in 1932, did he run again, and what happened? >> he ran again. he was nominated by a republican convention. we didn't mention prohibition. another issue that complicated life particularly for the republicans because by and large, they had a lot of rural supporters. the republican party was split on the issue of prohibition. hoover, again, cosmo poll tin figure who didn't mind taking a drink but who was sworn to enforce the law. and in 1932, he was on the unpopular side of the issue. i think by 1932, there are a lot of people, including the regional supporters of prohibition, that concluded that this experiment had not worked and that in many ways it had backfired. he was carrying that deadweight. he had the depression. he had his own inability to inspire. you think of fdr and radio. hoover was on radio. the difference is, hoover was once asked if he got excited, if he found it exciting speaking on the radio. and he
