indeed, she and henry turn out to be much closer to herbert hoover than i expected. and, you know, of course they are very apart on a lot of issues. but over the course of my study and in the papers you see i have a closer grasp of why she winds up like hoover supporting barry goldwater as a presidential candidate in the 1960's as this hope for american foreign policy being more assertive, being more independent and powerful than it was as they perceived under a slew of democrats. >> how influential were wallace and hoover in the debates during this cold war period that you're looking at? >> so i think it depends on the -- which ones you're talking about. their influence was never quite as large as they hoped. let's be honest. if you take the entirety of the world they were trying to create, they both failed. i think if you look at different phases of the cold war, the influence is very interesting and i think it is still something that needs to be studied more. if you consider things like mao before he became leader of the chinese state being very encouraged and pos

herbert hoover, of course, we know him from his presidency. he is most associated with the great depression. how does he connect to the story of the cold war? >> that is a great question. as many people will remember, he was very much disgraced and the great depression. many people don't realize he was given a raw deal with how he handled the depression and the political fallout. his connection to the cold war emerged because by the time he was president, he was very much a self made, wealthy man. he had a lot of means. i don't mean to say that he was a businessman and interested in the cold war for those reasons, but he cared about public affairs and remained active as a behind the scenes figure in the republican party. what thrust him into the limelight after many years of trying to emerge on his own was when harry truman became president as a result of fdr's death in april of 1945. truman, being the generous person he was, talked to hoover about advice about how to handle the tremendous responsibilities on truman's shoulders and asked .im f

(applause) >> herbert wiener. shawn lee, way lau. >> hello. >>> herbert wiener. i have a question about the recent muni fare hike. it's my understanding that under the proposition ee that raising the fares was contingent upon public performance of muni, that when you raise the fares it was on the basis that muni improve the service delivery. the fact that muni service right now is at an all-time low makes that -- it would seem to make that raising of the fare inappropriate. and i think it is illegal to do so and i would like clarification on that. also, with respect to the previous speaker i think the public is at risk with these ride share cars because we do not know the backgrounds of these individuals. they could be ax murderers released from prison the day before. they could be severely disturbed individuals. and i think this board in its right mind would not want to take ride share because they may not be appearing at the next meeting. so, i think it's very important that it be regulated. these abuses are happening on your watch and you bear responsibility f

being introduced via wallace to different businessmen in shanghai and other places, and then the herbert hoover side when you realize he is still around and barry goldwater is incredibly close to him until hoover's death which is actually dramatically in early october of 1964, a month before barry goldwater, you know, goes up for election, to the extent that barry and herbert are very close, in close communication ver hoover's last death bed, there's a lot there. and so -- but i think the important story is not to try to raise up these two figures as heroes or like icons that had they just been listened to there would have been no cold war whatsoever. that is something i'm really resisting. i have no intention of going down. i think what's more interesting is seeing the different phases and kinds of influence they exerted over a period of time with different people that tells us much more about the complexity of america as a place where people really did debate these things very, very fervently. >> kevin kim, thank you for being on american history tv. >> thank you. thanks so much. >> be

responding to the call of herbert hoover, leader of the u.s.elief effort, the farmer raised his output even higher and fed two continents. never before had demand been so strong. never before had profits been so great. even the small farmer prospered. dr. wayne rasmussen, chief historian, u.s. department of agriculture, comments. the marginal farmer also enjoyed this prosperity. before the war, he might have been on the edge of going out of farming. now, with demand and high prices, he was making a reasonably good living. it looked as though this demand and these high prices would continue on forever. schoumacher: it was indeed the best of times, but the farmer's bountiful harvest provided the seeds for his future predicament. in three short years, these best of times would become the worst of times. for, in 1921, the nation lurched into a post-war recession... and european agriculture had recovered much more quickly than anyone expected. demand for the farmers' crops fell. yet supplies remained abundant. prices plummeted, marking the beginning
