in one letter, herbert hoover says, i have wilson here. he is going to dig this new mine and he is going to dig it in record time. and if he doesn't, he is going to be back in the u.s. so fast and so poor he won't know where to eat. and that is how hoover dealt with his friends. there were reports of him in china, in negotiations to buy mining properties with a gun in his hand waving it around, threatening to shoot whoever would not help him get his way. he was, he was a pretty ruthless character as a businessman. the interesting thing about him though is, that, while he was, this is a comment to a lot of the robber barons. while they were doing their corporate depredations, they were also doing some good in the world. hoover, while, he was going around making it, making his fortune, he was also supporting back in california a lot of people. fellow students and family members. he was paying the salary of the librarian in stanford. he was donating rare books and jesuit publications he picked up in china to stanford. most remarkably, there w

kevin his biography at hoover and also in the to interview you can imagine this is a day house that herbert hoover historically or in the present day talked about often so in the introduction to his book he says indictment and advocacy shape and overwhelm the story of the man of herbert hoover. because franklin and eleanor roosevelt lived here in new york during the 1932 campaign. and then you might have heard them interpret them. we met earlier in the franklin and eleanor roosevelt library which is where they met with prospective cabinet members after the 32 election. we were talking about what they were doing. so as the reviews had said that it was the intensely researched thoughtful resurrection of a brilliant man. we are curious of his interpretation with his role in the great depression. one of the wonderful things that amity also brings a different perspective applause for her. [applause] but one thing that she wrote in 2009 that like no other president roosevelt inspired those in despair that the economist worthy of emulation we are happy to bring that perspective to you and have her

many of them were nicknamed hoovervilles after the sitting president herbert hoover. people are living in this shanty town in the very shadow of the metropolitan museum of art, which you can see in the background. this is a very poignant reminder of the scale of human suffering in the year 1932 when franklin roosevelt is running for president. the 1932 democratic convention was held in chicago, and when ro roosevelt was nominated, he received word of the nomination in albany and he did something unprecedented in american politics and quite dramatic. he actually flew out to the convention to accept the nomination in person. up until that point, when american presidential candidates received the nomination of their party, they would receive a delegation formally at their home or at a political site in their home state, but they did not go to the convention and they didn't deliver a speech right at the convention. roosevelt broke with that convention in a very dramatic way. here he is delivering his acceptance speech to the convention. it's a really electrifying moment m

hoover, herbert hoover, out in another month or so. so i've been helping doing some research and learning so much about herbert hoover, who was a mosts a admirable man but unfortunate was saddled with the idea he was personally responsible somehow for the great depression. that's not the case. ladies and gentlemen, what i've tried to do with this book is to look back, particularly at some of the thing i've written and the people whom i've known, and if you think about it, there are really giants, conservative giants, who walked the earth in the last half of the 19th 19th century -- the 20th 20th century. those giants were in my opinion, ronald reagan, barry goldwater and bill buckley. and as a matter of fact, i wrote biographs of all three of them. studied them and so trying to sort of sumup what do they have in common? well, they consider charismatic leaders who could inspire an audience to action. they believed that free enterprise could bring more prosperity to more people than any other economic system. they looked to a transcenden

and the drama of breaks it is a right subject for performance matthew herbert's evolving protest uses song electronic music and audience participation ever so when we did the concert in london. we were got everyone to write a message for europe and make it into a paper airplane throw to the stage. and now we've got those messages and we'll throw them back to you guys safe and then you can write some messages to us and then throw backs. so that's one thing we have a message. on the white keys of mourning. the band is not about brings that reaction to it by reaching out across the continent to briggs big band types to bring out a message of friendship and joy. so get do you find a light hearted stuff for a subject many thought to be actually very seriously yet that's actually been a point of criticism now matthew herbert says that every revolution needs optimism there is some criticism in the lyrics they also rip up copies of the daily mail newspaper the program pro brags that newspaper for instance to create percussion so there is criticism there now have. been responding to it well mo

next speaker, please. >> herbert weiner followed by ruth landry. >> herbert weiner. the sentiments i'm expressing are totally my own. they do not represent that of any organization. they are my own individual opinion. now the proposals ill conceived, unrealistic and detrimental. i personally see no difference in the quality of service to frequency of service. great cost was spent on the el teravale line. what was simply needed is adding four coachs to that line. there would have been frequency to this service to this line that is underserved. that's all that had to be done. you may say, gee, mr. weiner, why didn't you bring that up? because that's the job of the m.t.a. managers who live in never never land and don't live in reality. you should patronize it and experience the waiting time and experience the discomfort of walking that street. how can someone who has had two knee replacements negotiate that long distance between stops. now this has been very detrimental to seniors and the disabled. in fact, it is wicked. and you have signed on to it as this board. and w

and to give you a little bit of background about matthew herbert he uses a lot of natural sounds in his work he put together an eight minute track once where the percussion was sounds of deaf or cations so he's got a lot of projects under his belt another album that he did in the past called one pig an entire album about the life of one pig he followed the pigs from birth to death through table so to speak and recorded all this natural sound and turned that into an album so i mean look at that think yeah that's the man must be mad but then people buy it people buy it and that year we've come back to the brags that the big band this is a different project it's got a different sound few more brass instruments than the def occasion track. and obviously it's a bit more political we can take another look now at the brags that big bands. when broke to happen it was such a big shock and i felt i had to do some thing. just british musician matthew headbutt is to ring across europe with his brakes that big band on their way the band plans to collaborate with musicians from every e.u. country

. >> george herbert walker bush when he was former president in the 1990s was waiting for his private aircraft to get some maintenance and he was told by his chief of staff, who was told by an attendant at the airport that donald trump was about to land. and would the former president like to meet donald trump. and when presented about this idea, george bush had a newspaper in his hand. and he lowered it and said god no. and then he lifted it up again and pulled it down and said waited, he's coming here. and she said i don't know. sow put up his newspaper in front of his face to shield his face in the event that donald trump came by. so that gives you a pretty good indication of what george bush thought of donald trump prior to. this and actually his campaign manager in 1988 presented the notion of donald trump as running mate which george bush quickly rejected. >> and neither president bush voted for donald trump. >> neither of them did. as you eluded to, i don't know if they see themselves as the last republicans. i think they see that there is still a vibrant republican party that

patrick hurley had been herbert hoover's secretary of war. he was o war. he was a conservative oklahoma oil businessman, you see, and he did not know diddle about china. when he wrote to chiang kai-shek, he wrote him a note saying, temporary mr. shek. [laughter] -- dear mr. shek. and he was -- but roosevelt had him there for political reasons, because with he wanted him to work on a coalition government. china was in danger, he felt, of going into a civil war. so he wanted a coalition government. and if that failed, he was going to blame it on hurley, you see? it was a kind of political shield. so, you know, he was always thinking about the domestic politics, and this was part of it. but eleanor was the voice on the left with system others who press -- with some others who pressed him to be more liberal. and, of course, that famous speech he gave in 1944 where he spoke about the economic bill of rights was, put up the flag of restoring new deal. but who knows what would have happened if he had lives. if he had lived. but i think he would have resigned afte

his father herbert set up the company in the 1970s. even back then, the business was envivironmentally minded.. >> my father always believed, when wherever we go and build hotels, we go in as strangers to that area. so for him it was important that we look after that environment and also that the local communities benefitted, from whatever he was doing () the hotel chain is a proper family business. two of cooray's three sons also work in the company. and being green is a private goal as well. their home is also powered by solar energy. negombo, a picturesqueue port n the west coast. there are five jetwing hotels in the surrounding area. the island's electricity grid may look old-fashioned. but about 30 percent of sri lanka's electricity already comes from renewable sources -- mainly hydropower. so in seeking to be carbon neutral, jetwing isn't starting at zero. air conditioning accounts for over half the energy consumed in the hotels. conventional technology uses electricity to compress refrigerants that are harmful to the environment

in specific since herbert hoover and that movie that was portrayed on him to call me the f.b.i. has been a political institution i know great agents that work there and some that have left there but in the bureaucracy and the leadership it has been known as a political weapon and has been utilized look at bill clinton spec ground as well i mean it's a lot of very recent history where it's continued to be used in the way it is but yes we do right now have a constitutional crisis where devon noone is many of the other congressmen and house homeland security committee chairman ron johnson and his statements yesterday they have woken up to the fact of the flagrant abuse weaponization and politicization of this institution and it creates a very dangerous precedent because this goes back to a hoover style. yeah. you know and the way that they're doing things and being able to as kevin and just said surveil a candidate and surveil a transition team under false pretenses missing text messages come on there's no such thing i could recover my own if i deleted them tomorrow so this is just

president since herbert hoover.all the speeches into a computer, and what their software found is that president trump speaks at a fourth-grade level, lower than any president they've ever measured. [ laughter ] this is the chart. they rank the presidents using what they call the flesh-kinkade grade-level scale. herbert hoover is at the top, 11th grade level. obama was in third place with ninth grade. and then way all the way in the back of the class in the fourth grade there's donald trump. remember that show "are you smarter than a fifth-grader"? he's not. [ laughter ] a few months ago the president became pen pals with a 9-year-old. 9-year-olds are in the fourth grade, right? 9-year-old named pickle. this is what, for real, pickle wrote him back in june. he wrob, "dear president trump, my name is dylan but everybody calls me pickle. i am 9 years old. you are my favorite president. i like you so much. i hay birthday about you. my cake was shape of your hat. how old are you? how is the white house? how much money d
