in the year that herbert jr.was convalescing, lou invited the daughter-in-law and his children to live in the white house. here were children running around the white house at that time. that wasn't necessarily successful in softening the image. hey didn't want the children photographed or things written about them. >> this is the period of time when the nation was transfixed by the lindbergh baby kidnapping and whether or not that affected the sense of security for the first family in the white house and whether or not there was increased worry about threats to the children. >> i believe -- and i mean we talked about this before that there was increased security after the -- the lindbergh kidnapping in order to protect the white house and whatever the children might feel about it at times. but there's an increased concern bout assassination threats against herbert hoover himself especially as this sort of protest about the depression continues. so security is certainly a very important factor in the white house

that response initially actually came from former president herbert hoover. lots of people debate how conservative hoover was as a president and as the secretary of commerce in the 1920s. i am happy to talk about that issue today feed like that we are looking at him in the 1930s when he was shocked really by the excesses of the new deal. the 1930s the new deal was really the height of regressiveism and we argue in this book that just as edmund burke the english political philosopher began modern conservatism as a response to the french revolution, we think there is a distinctive rand of modern american conservatism and in effect the new deal was our french revolution. the deal change politics, change governance and so responding to our own french revolution herbert hoover starts weeping to stake out the case for modern american conservatism. if you think about it in our view we are still operating under the new deal paradigm. time today. we argue that politics, american economic policy today are essentially just a continuation of the new deal. this debate tha

so in our book we look at three areas where herbert hoover and franklin roosevelt debate in the 30's and where we think that is still the key debate today. the first of those is liberty and equality. one of the fundamental debates in the progressives and conservatives. and if you have read some of your american history you will remember that the french journalists as tocqueville came to america in the 19th century and observed one of the main differences between the french revolution and republic and the american revolutionary republicans that they were all about the quality. they talked about liberty that they were really all about the quality. and he said by contrast, the americans and the american revolution is about liberty. they also talk about the quality that what they are after is liberty. this is one of hoover's biggest complaints about the deal is that it was turning america into a form of european totalitarianism. hoover spent the early part of his career as a mining engineer doing the huge projects abroad including injured up and he continued to live in europe with the re

not douglasclearly herbert. that was charlotte hawking reporting on the negotiations to end the violence in south sudan. .egional leaders will meet thousands of people have died in clashes in the past 12 days there. there has been another spike in the violence in the central african republic. 44 bodies have been recovered after a day of fighting. peacekeepers have been reported dead. the country has been in crisis since muslim rebels overthrew the president earlier this year. deployedrces have been in the country in a bid to keep the peace. a mass grave has been discovered coast to the presidential compound. eyebrows.aised some the information minister told me that, according to him, the most likely scenario is that these bodies are those of former rebels who support the president. no one knows who these bodies are. those of the militia who oppose the president. the information minister told me that, for the moment, an investigation has been opened. >> in egypt, the government moved to brand the muslim as a terr

herbert brownell and lucious clay, who were very close to president eisenhower. after eisenhower was elected president in november of 1952, he immediately took off to play golf in augusta, and let clay and brownell turn -- turned the selection of his cabinet to clay and brownell, because he knew these people and recognized their talent and their ability and he understood they no. knew more about who should be in the cabinet perhaps than he did because he had been in nato for the previous here to years. so eisenhower was a superb judge of talent and learned that through his military career. >> i would say amplifying that, that is probably his most important political contribution as president. dwight eisenhower was a republican and proud of being a republican, and he believed in limited government but he was governing in a democratic era. he was governing in the fdr era, so what the eisenhower administration does politically, it applies the brakes to overreaching and ratifies and in fact makes bipartisan many policies of the new deal, but applies the brakes on oth

the guy everybody admired herbert hoover. nobody thinks of him as being a progressive. yet he was the ideal progressive of his time. and it was a culture story. it was a political story. it was a story about friendship. they argued with each other. they chased each other's wives. they smoked an awful lot. and ended up creating the united nations among other things. >> how did they assist each other in their careers? >> a., by getting jobs for each other. the ones who were in the media, like walter wrote editorials, criticizing each other. they fought with each other, they broke up, they got angry. they would come back around. it was a family relationship. you're not really sure you really like this person, but he's a relative so you've got to. >> what drew you to angle? how did you discover the group and decide to write about them as a group? >> i found them by mistake. i was working on a biography of alan, the cia director. and i wanted to know where he began. he began in dupont circle. his grandfather lived there. he and foster went to gw law school here. everybody th

reacting to what he called the "earthquake in europe," president herbert hoover proclaimed america'sadfastness to the gold standard. but despite official pronouncements, many europeans feared that america would be next to devalue its currency. international investors rushed to redeem their dollars for gold. boatloads of american gold reserves were shipped overseas. to protect the american banking system, to preserve confidence in the dollar based on the gold standard, herbert hoover directed the federal reserve system to make changes, changes that would "keep the american dollar ringing true in every city in america and in the world." the fed responded by raising its discount rate, foing erananksusup rate of ints the fed responded bypaid to their depositors.e, the result -- foreign investors earned more interest and were enticed to leave their money in u.s. banks. the strategy worked. confidence in the dollar was restored and the gold drain was plugged. but there were other, more serious ramifications. dr. edward bernstein, formerly principal economist, u.s. treasury department. brit

george herbert walker bush was u.n. ambassador trying to save taiwan at the same time kissinger was in china. there have been complaints about that. he will say he didn't tell the secretary of state either. he certainly wouldn't tell the ambassador. i do think to my mind the most tired analogy is munich and you see this on the right. this is the next munich. the new munich. there was a munich. when you play that card, i think you really have to have a bit more behind it than you do here. >> germany was second richest country in the world. iran's gdp is the size of the pentagon's budget. what do you think? >> there are no historical analogies than comparing munich or nixon and china from which we have generation of perspective to a deal that's hours, days old. this could prove to be a turning point as obviously the president would like to argue that it's long overdue reset of a relationship. it could also fall apart. this is why everyone is making the point. this is a test. even obama is using the term. this is a test. l

>> i don't think we have anymore of an imperial presidency now than we did under george herbert walker bush or ronald regan. presidents issue orders. it is an ability. it is a checked power. it is something given to them by the constitution. and coming is doing nothing. we have a do nothing congress that is stalemated and can't even agree on a budget. >> congress is doing a lot. they arepreventing e over reach of big government. right? that is significant i think. >> i hear your point, and by the way the senate did enact a budget. we were like belgium going without a budget for years. the question is and it is a good one you raise, they are extraordinary actions that are becoming ordinary. they should not be ordinary. jonathon turley the historian recently said this president is behaving worse than other presidents. yes george w bush did a lot of signing statements, but president obama dark dark. >> worse in what way? >> enacting this pile of rules and rgulations. >> we went through the list before. go ahead, sabrina. >> one of the real problems is that you don't have any means for deb

. >> i'm herbert wiener and nobody asked me if i wanted to walk a quarter of a mile to the bus stop? the transit effectiveness project has been flawed since its invention. to remedy the problems the public transportation, it was proposed to add coaches to the most heavily used runs and alter discontinued runs. no net increase in the total amount of available coaches or the entire fleet would result. in essence this was a cost-effective, zero-sum solution with discontinuations and consolidations. the human impact was ignored. residents complained of the hardship not only for those who are physically impaired. these protests were ignored with the discontinuations and at alterations. the real solution is to add more buses for the most heavy used runs without sacrificing the buses in the neighborhood. the discontinued and altered routes should be restored. there are no bus stops at cliff house or crissy field. it is time to either change the focus of the transit effectiveness project or discontinue the project itself. it is a portant of disaster. go 3 jackson.

secretary of commerce herbert hoover called the flood the greatest peacetime calamity in the historye country. the disaster was predictable. the mississippi had flooded before. local authorities attempted to pvide flood control, but with uneven efforts. the levee system is oy as strong as its weakest link. the building of dams could have prevented the flood. some legislators wanted to use federal funds. but they faced tough opposition on capitol hill. dams not only control floods, but they can be used to generate hydroelectric power. that presented a threat of competition to the private utilities. to justify the expenditure required to build these dams, electricity had to be sold. that would be produced by these hydroelectric units which were to be installed in the dams. that feature disturbed people who opposed tva. they thought that was a function the government ought not to engage in. the private utilities were successful in their opposition until 1933, when a newdministration with an activistiew of government's role came into power. franklin delano roosevelt created e tennesseell

government opens again and all of the institutions are back, you can go to west branch and visit the herbert hoover presidential library there. so the question for both of you, since they were a couple that approached public life together, what should their legacy be? >> i think it is -- as the first lady, her legacy is the way in which she tried to ute lietz her role as first lady to make a call to action to the public issues that she believed in but also that dove tailed with the kind of approach and philosophy of government that her husband had. so they had a legacy in terms of presidential couples for how to -- the delicate balance between the sort of political side of what first ladies are supposed to do. >> marlin? > hello? >> your question, sir? >> i was doing the campaign of hoover and al smith. the biggest thing was repealing the 18th amendment. i grew up in a community and all of them conservative, very religious. everybody voted for hoover. also, the market crash in '29, the banks busted at the same time. i was 7 years old then and i wanted to go down and collect my money when the
