how would herbert hoover govern today? how would herbert hoover govern today?today, i first of all, i doubted he would recognize complexity and of the federal government for there is no federal deposit insurance corporation in existence during hoover's time when all those banks were failing. that would be one. one example on there is not there was not the expectation of massive federal intervention has now become commonplace. now that there's any jittering the economy, we all turn to the white house and congress and so on. automatically we expect the the president and the political elites to respond. and they are judged upon how much manage the how well manage the economy. so i think hoover, though, if you look at his later prophecies and arguments against new deal would would probably still want the gold standard offer for example he would probably be a fiscal hawk or as turned into especially in the last two years of the depression. and he turned a partner primarily because he thought that the gigantic federal deficit would undermine foreign investors confide

hoover was an outsider.now he had good friends and allies in congress, but he was not generally liked by members of congress. the conservative wing of the republican party who thought he was too much of a progressive. well, as he progresses in the republican party, the so-called rhinos of the day of la follette and norris of nebraska and, they were called by one of the conservative senators, sons of the wild --, because they were so cantankerous and not club able. they work in harmony and they held the kind of, the balance of power in the senate and. many of them hated hoover, whom they thought was of insufficient progressive. and one historian once said of hoover that he was too progressive for the concern over this and too conservative for the radicals. so he kind of fell in between. so i think trump ford was did come to be disliked the way that hoover came to be disliked. trump rather run. ford did not have the same weight to bear in personal terms. hoover it was personalized for hoover, you know, there w

hoover's idea. his original intention was to insist what's in the original riga agreement was defeated. 1 million soviet children. but his plan was quickly revised after the american relief workers made, their way to the towns and villages, the volga region, and filled their reports with descriptions of piles of tangled corpses. i'll spare that. there's a lot of it in in the exhibit of hundreds of thousands of ragged, vermin ridden and desperate regees fleeing famine zone in search of food. you a scene at a localailway station here on the volga and also of children. the cries of children, many with bellies swollen as you see here. a couple of the kids have that problem the edema swollen from eating grass in leaves and bark and worse. in other, this was not simply hunger and extreme hunger, which the area had been used to dealing with. this was mass starvation. clearly the relief was going to have to be extended not only to more children, but also it would have to adults. the area had never fed adult

and he said, this is worse than hoover. roosevelt. yeah, it seems. now, the good part is that the biden team actually was the most effectively organized, the largest team and anticipated virtually everything about what happened. except for january six, the fellow that ran the transition, ted kaufman, who was biden's long aide, probably his best friend, put together to streams of work, one he called conventional issues and one he called unconventional conventional were all the things that a transition normally does. personnel agency, etc. the unconventional was all the threats that could occur if. trump did not cooperate and the biden presciently predicted every single issue that happened. delays lack of agencies not opening except for one thing they never predicted. january 6th. nobody could have predicted that. yeah, i think that's a good note to open it up for questions that people have some. we have a microphone there. people want it just go up and ask their question question. hi, thank you. what the date of your article about the transition. the

. >> moving into the 20th century, and somebody like being formal in a way that hoover did -- grant did, herbert hoover, he ate a seven course meal in formal wear alone. >> and he would rush through his meals. he had these wonderful dinners, but he would rush through them. >> he became known to the world because of his work basically as the foods are and all that after the first world war. tell me about his philosophy of food when he came into the office. >> he understood that food was a political tool, and rather intentionally used it to break the back of bolshevism in europe, and millions of russians were starving and he helped supply them with food, and he made his mark during the first world war after the germans invaded and they would steal a local -- local food, and food riots would corrupt people were starving, and hoover and wilson, who was president at the time, began to shift food and material across the atlantic. this was one of the things that led us into the war. there are posters at that said that wu -- food would win the war. and there's a whole fascinating history about

and people building hoover bills, so-called, and uh, it became an ironic uh, appetite that he had thatlthough he enjoyed good food, it ultimately worked against him. and people began to throw rotten tomatoes and cauliflower at him. and he was -- it was sort of a sad ending to his ministration. >> roosevelt is the one you doubt is the second epicure of the white house. you can see that there was a big tug-of-war going on between him and eleanor roosevelt about white house food. what was that about? >> this is where the side of the white house that people are not always aware about comes to play. that domestic side. the relationship between eleanor and fdr was fraught. they had been brought up in wealthy mill you, they were actually distant cousins, they were both cousins of teddy roosevelt. they were both brought up on delicious food with cooks of the house and servants, but they had a very contrasting style. fdr was a real gourmet, and a gourmet is someone who loves siliceous food, and a gourmand is someone who eats success. teddy roosevelt was a gourmand, but if was a gourmet. eleanor

here with me, margaret hoover, kevon, shroff patrick mcenroe, and just a.o coffee cake for you. >> i actually fundamentally reject this advice. i think it's a terrible idea. everything your mother told, you breakfast is the most important deal of the day. it is actually substantiated by the data. i mean if you have breakfast you will have lower blood pressure. you will have low blood pressure. your cholesterol will be lower, last chance of heart disease, less chance of weight gain. all of the things that go downstream from just having breakfast in the morning. so you know what? inflation is hitting a lot of people. but there is a lot of ways you can redirect your resources in order to make sure you are doing a long term thing that's good for yourself. >> are you pro or anti breakfast? >> i have to admit, i'm a black coffee until 2 pm guy. >> no, no! so you are skipping lunch also! >> my take on this article, was what, what are they in this suggest, skip lunch and dinner, you will save a lot of money. it is a really sort of glib sort of response to real prob

fbi records especially in the hoover days were incredibly redundant. they duplicated information across a wide swath of things for you the organizations caption about what it was, who it was and so forth. so to the extent you can put a lot of information in there. so i had to be careful in the one sense i was not supposed to be using the details i might get for my day job and it turns out a friend of mine was processing so i could not speak to her about that. but you end up balancing the sayings and trying too as credible a job as you can. i was pleased with my dissertation i turned it into a book and movie rights are going and all that sort of thing. but who knows maybe in my post bureau career. brexit's essence like any of them are falsifying records and drink those kinds of things that you thought the spy museum either. thanks for your patience. >> good people there. >> this address to the representative from osd it applies to all three of you. you make your job from the point of your institution is to rapidly respond to requests and support the mis

[laughter] after 75 witnesses in eight months, it gets hard to keep all your bits straight. >> other calls that donald trump was on? >> yes, i'm positive that i heard the president on the phone more than once. >> nick, if she's supposed to be speaking out like that?

a few of the pre hoover records could go over eventually as micro film. and you've been able to access them over at narrow for a good long time. but overall, fbi and investigative files were considered close to the public. that said, a lot of what the fbi does comes out in the public. because when you're investigating a crime or when you're investigating a national security threat that touches on national security laws, another crime, it ends up in court. the court produces a public record. it's and pieces of the fbi's records ended up in public. but of course, it wasn't until the mid 1960s, early 1970s when a combination of government leaks, things like the break-in of the fbi's resident agency in pennsylvania that led to the exposure, among other things, of a program called cointelpro that everyone's heard the word. very few know what it is. this thing started command of the public. of course, it was on the mix of the watergate era to. in which case the use of the government reigns of power by the president, the president administration, the use and mis

you know, back in the beginning days of the bureau back when j edgar hoover took over in 1924, the idea that government records would be available to the public was not something that people tended to think about. government records got boxed up in all warehouse somewhere and eventually were thrown out when they were needed. some of them ended up at the library of congress but as we heard earlier pwe actually got a national archive and even when we did, the fbi basically said our records are nrecords and they are not going to the national archives so for the most part that is in fact what happened . three hoover era records did go over eventually as microfilm and they been able to access them over there for a good long time but overall, fbi investigative files were to be considered close to the public. now, that said a lot of what the fbi does comes out in the public because when you are investigating a crime or when you areinvestigating a national security threat that touches on a nationalsecurity law , it ends up in court. and then court produces a record so bits and pieces of the rec
