they rehabilitated hoover. in trying to put him in the government of the world bank to your second question i think your answer is no. have anything to do with shortening that time. i have already been proposed. the interesting point there is that that meant because the next inauguration would be on january 20, 1937 that roosevelt could end up having a short-term in the presidency. there is no actual relationship there. >> i would like it very much if the election was a serious debate over the new deal. but how important do you think it is. it really depends who you ask. by 1932 even hoover who was a pretty ardent dry have backed off and qualified his position on prohibition because the sentiments have turned largely against it. he was trying to present himself as a not as prohibitionist as he used to be and he wanted it to be repealed at a national level. i'm not sure how substantial that would be. i am sure it was symbolically important that unlike al smith roosevelt had many cultural markers. he was an upsta

hoover was upset. he writes back that this is king'sand after martin march on washington, they push for further analysis. they told mr. hoover, you are right. iscannot count on -- this key, and i wish he would have cited this -- we can no longer count on evidence that would stand up in a court of law or congressional committees in order to discredit martin luther king. we have to go beyond that sort of evidence. he doesn't mention that and i think it is important that the fbi is aiming to find anything they can to discredit him, including as i mentioned in my and havingunneling ministers launder information about martin luther king that he is a communist when they said they have no evidence. one of the things i think he could have done in the article is mention the broader background that the fbi has decided that they will not depend on evidence that will stand up in a court of law or before a congressional committee. the second thing i wish he would have done is put the fbi surveillance of martin king

and we would not, as we will be doing next week, talking about hoover bills and president hoover taking responsibility for the depression, but in fact that did not happen. in 1928or president against al smith, the new yorker and he defeated al smith, who was the first catholic to run for president. during the terms of these three presidents, the country was disillusioned by the war. this was the war to save democracy. it was the war to end all wars. ventedple, many people their frustration and anger on antisocial acts and legislation. it was a time in traditional values were shattered but new standards have not yet emerged. they case in point for example was the scopes trial, john scopes, when he faced william jennings bryan, and the issue evolution inaching a tennessee public school. it was actually against the law. william jennings bryan defended a literal interpretation of the bible against evolution. , william jennings bryan john scopes had in fact violated the law by teaching evolution. with the redgan 1920.of 1919, it was a response to a series of strikes in the united states. the

and finally hoover talked us flew it. incidentally our two sons are the first hoover fellows to be bred in captivity. >> i want to begin on a serious note by quoting from one of the grand masters of strategic thoughts and american foreign policy. henry kissinger for a man who just turned 96 has an astonishingly acute grasp of the issues that we are going to be discussing this afternoon. he has written on artificial intelligence and in his book world order, he made the following observation. and i quote. the pervasiveness of network communications in the social, financial abindustrial and military sectors has revolutionized vulnerabilities. outpacing most rules and regulationsen indeed the technical comprehension of being regulators it has in some speculates created the state of nature, the escape from which according to hobbs providing the motivating force for creating a political order. asymmetriy and a kind of conjentle world disorder are built into relations between cyberpowers both in diplomacy and strategy. absent ar

you have been the ceo of hoover for how long now? two years. i love it. david: the company was not a public company. you have taken it public. you received a lot of public via about the ipo. the company has a higher market capitalization, roughly $72 billion. then any company in american capitalism history except for facebook, this short a time after the ipo. why are so many people criticizing you for having a $72 billion market cap? many i think there are critics for a large company. that is a fact of life. what is different about some of the companies of our generation going public, unicorns, we have stayed private for longer. we have raised more money over a longer time. we havecome public, bigger scale than companies that went public, the last generation of companies. my view is, we wanted to go public. we needed to make sure we are well-capitalized. now the time is to put your head down and get the real work done. vid: after the company did go public, it did go down by about 11% which is a record decline after an ipo. did you think the investment ban

back next week with more in-depth intervi - [narrator] the following is a paid advertisement for the hoover how do you typically clean your floors? do you make it a team event? (frantic music) do you do the sloppy shuffle? do you call in backup? cleaning your hard floors has always been hard work. first there's sweeping or vacuuming. then you haul out the mop and bucket. but does pushing dirty water around really get your floors as clean as you'd like? and then there's the joy of cleaning pet messes, or getting down on your hands and knees to scrub old, dried on, or sticky spills? sure, other products claim they make hard floor cleaning easy, but they still require lots of elbow grease, and they do nothing for large messes. sometimes you just wish there was an easier way.

this area it's kind of a natural filtration system for the area because it goes along just kind of hoovers up the sand and then it cleans out detritus and micro algate and bacteria and things like that. this is where they breed the animals to be raised in the bay at temple of it. will eat xiang sea cucumber costs the farmers in tampa bay $0.16 after being harvested 9 months later it's worth a $1.30 on average the aquaculture here not only pays off for the farmers but also benefits the entire bay and the other animals that live in. that's all for today i hope you enjoyed the program and maybe learn to thing or 2 i certainly did for now this is felicia n.t.s.b. signing off from joburg south africa see you next time and empty your bag goes for you to. thanks felicia and thanks to all our viewers out there for watching if you have questions or comments or just want to know more about our program then visit our website all the social media platforms are now inside me from lagos nigeria so next i. got. a little. line of a starry eyed idealists or p.r. strategists. may business starters are going

here at the memorial which forms one side of the memorial walls was dedicated in 1932 by herbert hoover and it was part of the memorial bridge project that obviously built memorial bridge, memorial drive then this ceremonial gateway to arlington b national cemetery. so 1932, three years into the depression, what happens? the memorial sits here and you can see that it was never finished. the niches are free of sculptures. the plaza was, was bare and it just sat here for some 65 years. and i always like to say it was -- for us to come along and bring this incredible memorial to women's service. to the nation. so in essence, this is the place where the nation says thanks to the 3 million people who served. the memorial itself is operated and maintain ed by the women in military service for american memorial foundation. we are not for profit organization. that relies on donations of corporate and individual. it always pains me to say that of the money that has been raised to build and maintain this memorial, 74% of it is from the very women itself that it, that the memorial honors. so let m
