two, herbert hoover really did hope that by bringing food into soviet russia, somehow he could overturn, or help overturn, the soviet government. it is pretty clear. by the end of the mission, it's pretty clear that hoover was disappointed that that was not going to happen. for me one of the surprises is that the chief americans on the ground -- hoover didn't go to soviet russia during this mission. he was in washington at the time. but the chief americans who were administering the relief actually wanted to the united states to grant soviet russia official diplomatic relations. so u.s.-soviet relations. hoover was against this. officially u.s. soviet relations -- u.s.-soviet relations would not be introduced until hoover left the white house, and franklin delano roosevelt would introduce that. the americans who were saying this had seen bolshevism up close. they hated it. they were not friends of lenin but their idea was that if you want to undermine the bolsheviks government, kill with kindness. engagement is what we would call this in a later day. here's the third unpleasant surprise

the purpose of this library is to promote peace and freedom among men. 100 years ago, herbert hoover was in paris as a delegate to the paris peace talks. he cabled stanford by telegram $50,000 which today would be at almost $1 million saying the university should collect material on board. mr. hoover had been a humanitarian. he organized food relief through the commission of relief or belgium. he followed that with another administration that said millions of europeans during world war i and after. some of the first records to come to us are the records of those organizations on food relief. the genesis of this institution. we still continue his vision of dynamically collecting documents. >> the hoover institution and nearly oneuses million volumes and more than 6000 collections on war, peace, and other public policy related topics from both the 20th and 21st centuries. the experts chose a cross-section of artifacts from the collection to show us. we have two items from our world war ii collections. this book which means secret in german was the estoppel arrest manual prepared for the

on the american side, it is because of herbert hoover's disgrace. the failing reputation after the great depression. thatfter he leaves office his work as the great humanitarian becomes obscured by the great depression. americans don't want to hear about it anymore. , itsby the 1950's and was awkward topic. it was in the hoover archives getting -- waiting to be brought up and brought to life in a book or a film. staff toured to palo alto. to watch video, visit c-span.org/citiestour. americanatching history tv all weekend, every weekend on c-span3. a stanfordom historical society symposium anniversary150th marking the 1869 completion of the transcontinental railroad, history professor james campbell are vented talk titled, the celestial railroad revisited. in 19th century culture. it is a short story by nathaniel hawthorne. professor campbell uses the allegory to explore how the railroad transformed american culture.

if you are herbert hoover, you are blamed for the bad economy, on the other hand, a good economy is notessarily were awarded as or consistently, particularly if you do not do two critical things in an election is an incumbent, talk about your success, talk about the next step, and disqualify your opponent as a threat to that economic growth. can i gave you one example that we have been through? >> sean: yes. thank goodness, where has the whiteboard been? >> it's back! unemployment rate in october of 2000 was 3.9%, now it is 3.6. the real gdp growth in 2000 was 2.97, growth in 2019, 2.97. this was the clinton-gore third election, this was al gore running to be the third term of bill clinton, they had a good economy, it was slowing down, we were in a recession by the next march, but it was a good economy as we approached the election and the econometric models were forecasting a victory for al gore, but he did not talk about it, he sure as heck never talked about what the next steps were for clinton-gore, and he never succeeded in disqualifying george w. bush, who proactively talked about

year's midterm, he sort of took off the gloves in a way no former president had done really since herbert hooverst fdr. i think the idea was, he just found a democratic party that didn't have a legal, didn't have a single leader that could focus that argument and he was very offended by the trump presidency, the things he was saying, as he said, the lying and the use of the military at the border and the other things that were going on last year. >> two of the places that the president campaigned hard, georgia and florida did not turn out well for the democrats. another thing you note, when you get to the economy, president obama's view of the economy he left behind for president trump, which he saw as improving and where it is now. and one of the things you note is that trump could do what obama could not. he could sell it. >> right. exactly. you could take the exact same economy, and there are some differences now, but particularly in the first year or so, the economy was pretty similar under trump as it was under obama. but president trump doesn't hold back. he just sells it. he says, this is
