hoover loved that place. when the word came in that coolidge had made the announced that, there were hundreds of telegrams to the front office asking what hoover had to say. a crowd of men made their way to hoover's tomcat into somebody had to say. the upj was followed by hundreds more he had to send out for how. most called for hoover to announce his candidacy for the nations top office, but hoover responded with caution. i regret this -- and it's the president might standdown. in case the implication and president coolidge should be renominated and reelect it. hoover sent out a telegram of private communications instructing the cohort to sit tight. there might be a campaign to say i made more bright output appear on. there should be no demonstration of any kind until coolidge had clarified his crypt and patterns. this was for show. hoover wanted to conceal his ambition of the public, but also president coolidge's real motives remained obscure -- it add also from his wife and for months leading up to his dec

on the 75th anniversary of hoover dam.and i let boulder city in 1970 other than going home to visit family and had not been back. so when i started looking at it as a book project i had no idea they had gone on for five generations and expanded throughout the entire universe basically now they're doing asteroids. so i call it but he missed. then i got deep into the research it was four years of research and writing, once i got deep into the research there is a quote from the gao about the profiteering and i can't remember the exact quote but something like never before have so few men made so much money at the taxpayers expense. i just started thinking this is more about profiteering than it is about anyone company. >> c-span: have ever done anything illegal? spee2 i don't think so. that's one of the other stunning things that all this is legal. this is all i write. it's really, really not a biography of this family as much as another thing that i found going in was the family was really not interesting. there are interest

he is toalled hoover, the right of king louis the xiv. hoover campaigned aggressively for dewey. i guess there was the practical aspect that hoover was president, he would do the right thing. do you have any other insights? michael: franklin roosevelt has alluded, after defeating who were my landslide crossed hoover never the front door of the white house the next 12 years. roosevelt did not speak to him. especially after hoover in 1940 got very isolationist and nasty foreign policy. harry truman did not just policy. did,f the first things he he invited over to the white house and essentially said you have been treated wrongly and i want did to restore you, bring u back to the american family. hoover to make a study of the food problem in europe, which was grave and the wake of world war ii. said, hoover conditionsor him two on government reorganization which, to some extent, led to the national security act that secretary albright is talking about. as charitable as president truman was he was also a great politician because he knew that hoover was still a large figure on the ame

hoover would hog the nomination. in that way, willie was a grass roots. he, himself, was not of the grass. he was chosen by people who were voting against the party. the other names were "the parti." willkie came in as somebody different, not what we expected. >> he retired and an exciting man. i think for many people, it was none of the above. it was the perfect atmosphere for an outsider who promises and looks very different from the standard of the late 1930's. >> what was the state of the democratic party, amity shlaes, and franklin roosevelt and his support in 1940, eight years after the new deal at a time when most residents would step down? >> roosevelt's victory -- 46 out of 48 states in the preceding election -- was so hard to get past. even as the party was beginning to get past it, this idea of having a third term -- the war was coming closer. war in 1940 had already been declared in europe. germans had invaded poland and britain. all of a sudden, roosevelt was good at war. they knew that. they knew that w

j edgar hoover kept going back to bobby kennedy to wiretap martin luther king.he reason my he wanted to wiretap him is because there is a fear and a fear that hoover, i think without any convincing evidence, that they were leftists and communists in martin luther king's hierarchy. at the moment j edgar hoover survived through emma's attorneys general and presidents because he always had some dirt on somebody. he knew exactly the moment to ask what he wanted. he asked repeatedly for authority to wiretap. in the end bobby kennedy gave it to him. in the end he gave it to him without defending that decision at all. he gave it to him for strategic reasons. the kennedys were about to propose a major civil rights bill. . . >> >> was martin luther king at point when he said he is no good. wiretapping was a bad thing but by the end the this tenure p. was calling in federal troops most of your old enough to remember george wallace in tuscaloosa and bobby kennedy learned from his mistakes in birmingham and montgomery and having to call in troops early of the segregationist

and hughes and his fellow hoover appointee were sort of in the middle. but roosevelt won re-election in a landslide in 1936. and he'd been thinking about doing something about this conservative court for a long time. he thought about a constitutional amendment. he thought about various kinds of statutes that might limit the court. and even what he -- a court packing plan. a court packing plan in which he would appoint additional justices who would be more sympathetic to the new deal legislation. so in early 1937, on the heels of this very impressive re-election victory, roosevelt announced a court packing plan. it was in february of 1937. 75 years ago. and his plan was he was concerned, he said, that the justices on the court were rather worn down and too old and they need some new justices who had a little more energy, who he would of course appoint. it turned out -- and his proposal was, he would be able to appoint one justice for every justice over 70 years old. it turned out six of the justices were over 70 years old, including chief justice hughes.

we know that j edgar hoover was a monster. there is no other way to put it. these trumped up charges against dr. garvey and others represent a long line of pattern of deliberate behavior to judge, disrupt, and take away the credit of individuals who at different point in our nation's history, particularly in the 1900s tried to bring about a sense of liberty, dignity and pride for people of african ancestry. i was there in 1987, part of a hearing we had as a member of congress to try to bring attention to this. i want to commemorate dr. garvey's birthday with all of you by pledging that all of us who are here now who have the facts, where the links and are commit -- connected to communities will do everything we can to get this done. a good point was made, legally there is not much more that can be done. this is a battle that moves to the court of public opinion, getting people in the streets whether this a black lives movement, members of both political parties, social clubs and fraternal organizations and professional organizations to get on board in a massi

ft great fear is that when ly and hoover entered the market, the price was so compelling that it drewons of customers into the market did not create a business model with what i would describe as adequate margins to provide a return on the capital invested in them. i don't know how they get out of that box. i think that suggested a sale would be in the interest of everybody. emily: pandora. you are a musician. roger: i don't know. the music industry feels an ever shrinking business. amount of participation is staggering. they had the entertainment field to themselves with the exception of television and movies and since they stop -- that was the last time, when they created the music video and put it on mtv. since then, they have done nothing that has been customer value added. we have created video games, the internet, social networks and a zillion forms of entertainment and music guys expect to get paid and i don't see it happening. i can imagine a consolidation acquisition of pandora but i don't see an acquisition that provides a great deal for anyone. emily: twitter? roger: yes. e

we all know j edgar hoover was a monster, no other way to put it.these trumps of charges against doctor garvey and others represent a long line, deliver it behavior. and take away the credit in nation's history, particularly the 1990s to bring a sense of liberation. and as part of the congressional hearing we had to bring attention to this to commemorate doctor garvey's birthday by pledging, and the links connected to communities and do everything they can to get this done. a good point was made, there is not much more that can be done. this is a battle that moves to the court of public opinion. whether it is black lives movement or both political parties. and professional organizations to get on board in a massive way, and the court of public opinion, in a case to be resolved. there is a time and place for all things. and i'm glad to be part of it. >> thank you very much. >> this -- my cup overflows. on behalf of una, the national organization, want to thank everybody for coming, it is the dream team. and support of the honorable marcus garvey, i c

and in 1969j edgar hoover bigger announced it was the greatest threat to the internal security of the country. and he assigned 2000 full-time fbi agents to expose disrupt misdirect and this credit and otherwise neutralized the panthers and other new left organizations. sixty-nine they speak to congress and declared that the new left dedicated to the complete destruction of your democratic values and the principles of free government. so it was war at home. the agents were a part of that. they went up. the weatherman second. but they didn't stop. the war of many feminist groups say they have a lot of people who were underground in disrupting from inside all of these organizations. eighty shots were fired. he and his colleague were killed. four in the morning hamptons bodies hard have slipped him a sleeping pill. he never woke up. it was a cold-blooded assassination. it was a firefight but only two bullets were shown to have gone from outside to inside. it was clearly an fbi arranged with the chicago police assassination and it was extremely upsetting into a group of radicals who had sp

edgar hoover who had a file on stevenson. so stevenson had to bring his sister, buffy ives, on to the campaign trail with him in a completely contrived and phony situation where the sister looked like she was the wife, and a lot of people thought she was the wife. that was infinitely to me more interesting than what mamie did which was essentially stay in the background on the campaign train. remember the whistle stopping and everything that happened during the campaign. mamie was often ill. she was not drunk. she was often ill on the campaign trail. and the stress really hurt her. the stress bothered her, and she was constantly in the face of eisenhower's advisers saying, you're working him too hard. what mamie wanted to happen maybe would have been a good thing. she wanted him to take two weeks off in the middle of the campaign. he was winning anyway. she wanted him to go to denver, she wanted him to come back to abilene. she didn't win that battle. by the way, there is an excellent biography of mamie eisenhower in the firs
