and then she makes the cover of time as the nation's first lady when herbert hoover wins with a landslide against al smith in the 1928 election. and so the hoovers go into the white house with a lot of excitement a lot of support bird has managed to win over southern states that had traditionally voted democratic but if you know anything about al smith, you will know that he was a catholic and he was in favor of ending prohibition and both of those things did not sit. well in the hyper conservative south so one of the things that luke confronts is that the south side of chicago has elected? it's low the loan black. member of the house and his name is oscar depriest. and it is common for the first lady to hold a reception for the wives of all of the elected members of congress. and so the question then becomes what are we going to do about mrs. depriest? the first lady is considered the social arbiter of washington if she invites mrs. depriest into the white house, she gives jesse dupree social legitimacy and shames all the other social social leaders in the city because she has recognized

so herbert hoover wins in 1928 that february on saint valentine's day was when the valentine's day massacre happened in chicago, and it was the most brutal and just spectacular murder that the country had seen al capone was largely thought to have been the cause of it, but he said no no, i was in miami when all this happened. i was on vacation. in fact, i was in the district attorney's office being questioned at the very moment at hand said they never did find out who did it. but that was another thing that really started pushing public opinion against prohibition. well hoover took office the next month and then october the stock market crashed and that was the beginning of the great depression. the government everybody's funds dried up and employment rose the government's funds were getting very dry. and hoover when he took office promise to study prohibition, but eventually a report came out that said well, it's not really working. it's not enforceable, but we think we should keep doing it and he said that sounds fine to me a woman who had helped get him elected named pauline morton saban

friends herbert hoover head out in the white house too responding to desperate problems with patriotic pronouncements, and we got a hell of a depression, but i'm afraid jimmy's depression is going to be worse than herberts. i'm supporting senator kennedy because he's out there facing issues inflation sky high prices and almost worthless dollar unemployment. i trust that kennedy i believe in them in every way folks. kennedy for president we gotta fight back. your clip so the clip that i'm going to show you is from a an nbc documentary called the american revolution of 63 if you go and read david's essay, you'll see he actually begins that essay by talking about thomas seguru's suite land of liberty in which through his really really extensive archival work. he doesn't actually reference any television despite the fact that he name checks the american revolution of 63, so when i started my phd looking at the relationship between tv news in the civil rights movement it quickly became very apparent to me that this is a documentary that really mattered but it looked like hardly anyone had a

the administration lost more jobs on its watch than any in the decision since herbert hoover, that is fact. all based on failed trickle-down economics that benefit the wealthiest americans and hit the middle class and working people the hardest. we came in with a different economic vision, an economy that grows from the bottom up in the middle out. it is good for everyone, because when the middle class goes well, the poor middle class and the wealthy do well. that is why we designed the american rescue plan based on the would believe that a recovery should help all americans prosper. i believe that working, building power and unions, are good for workers and the economy. the plan that led to the most jobs created in the first period of a presidency than any time in all american history. [applause] pres. biden: we have seen how economic crisis can reach so many americans for years, sometimes the rest of their lives. economists call it the starring effect, a lasting bad effect of economic hardship including folks unemployed for a long time. when we started this, a lot of people were equ

former president herbert hoover who was desperate to return to a to a leading role in the republican party read 30 newspapers every morning. president roosevelt busy as he was found time to read 11 newspapers every day, including two mccormick patterson papers and one hearse paper and he read editorial summaries compiled by his staff of the other newspapers. so, what did he find in these newspapers? first of all most of them? throughout much of his administration were opposed to the domestic new deal especially robert mccormick and william randolph hearst. now hurst had helped roosevelt win the democratic presidential nomination in 1932, but he had turned against the president by the spring of 1934 largely on two issues. he didn't like roosevelt's protections for unions, and he didn't like roosevelt's taxes on the rich. in his editorials which were often on the front pages of his newspapers hurst blame the new deal for bringing communism. secretly to the country. so here's one typical editorial in 1935 again all caps lock key. since we have moved left, we can see the monstrous russia

original incarnation as the hoover war library the hoover war collection on april 22nd. 1919 herbert hoover sent his wife lou henry a telegram stating that he would provide $50,000, you know, today's purchasing power. 850,000 to underwrite quote a mission to europe to collect historical material on war unquote. that was his deed of gift. that was the amount he gave 15 to 20 years before the national archives were founded we continue as a library in archive to realize his vision in our second century by collecting preserving describing and most importantly making available the most important historical material on war revolution. peace in the world, and i'm glad that our speakers have made use of our archives and many other archives for for their research. i want to thank the board of overseers of the hoover institution. that's our board of directors whose and other donors without who's financial support. nothing we do would be possible. i know several members are on on the zoom and also want to thank our director condoleezza rice for her support not just to the library in archives in our pr

but the idea alert in my mind that i might ask herbert hoover to return to washington as secretary of state. his great experience both as cabinet officer and as president would have been almost indispensable to me unquote. the closest any lawmaker has apparently come to indicating that he or she might not serve for any extended period of time as acting president was senator carl heat served as ppt 1950s in the 1960s. the senator remarked that had he been elevated the oval office you'd have taken the following steps. quote i'd call congress together. of the house elected new speaker, then i'd resign and let him become acting president unquote. interestingly hayden's active self-denial did not involve his declining job altogether. and allowing to pass to the secretary of state instead hayden indicated if you would ensure that the acting president would come from the legislative branch. i will defer to the next panelist dr. fins in a mom will discuss experience of speaker albertsons who's experience has also relative relevant in this context. finally, i would note that speaker dennis has

different changes to it, but for the most part it remained a bedroom and you know, even though herbert hoover called it the lincoln study fdr called it the lincoln study and then the lincoln bedroom after harry truman. but there was this interest about what to do with this room to sort of restore some of the historical elements that you know, you're calling it the lincoln bedroom, so why not go back to the true lincoln era when lincoln actually used the space and so i wanted to ask our panelists to sort of talk us through this project what all went into it and and how it came about and how it was how it was executed. so i'll leave the floor open to whoever would like to start these two. well during lincoln's time that room was not the bedroom. it was his office the lincoln area furnishings were not placed in there in the lincoln bedroom created until 1945 under president truman. so up until the early 2000s the room as a matt mentioned. i hadn't really changed much since the truman renovation. in fact the carpeting that you were seeing in some of those early photos. was actually installed in t

unfortunately, herbert hoover came in, and even though he was republican and he served in coolidge -- wonder boy. hoover was a good businessman, he was a mining engineer, and he did great humanitarian things in world war i, but as secretary of commerce, coolidge had no time for him because he was a big government guy. even though he had the hoover institution in stanford which is all about free markets, hoover himself -- hoover took the tax rate from 25% to 65%. i know there was restricted tariffs during these republican years, but not like that. it was a terrible mistake. it turned what was a modest downturn a major depression, than fdr, in my view, made it worse because he kept raising taxes and kept regulating and kept controlling prices. i am reading these books and i like to productize about these books. i love the gilded age stuff personally. if i had to do it over again, you could kind of plot me -- i would have liked to have been -- i don't know, grover cleveland, a democrat, is one of my favorite presidents. he was a pro gold, spending cutter, would not fathom the income tax,
