so hilda hoover, who was? herbert hoover. his mother was a mean thorne and the mentors ended up raising herbert hoover in oregon so the hoover is the family. i mean, this is the thing about family. it's like there are a lot of descendants, but some of us have the bug, like some of us are just so interested in the legacy and the history and, the mentor and have it. and leslie has it. a few of us cousins have it. so yeah, it's wonderful to have george and cam here too. so at this one quick comment, i mean, it's like parallel i have is my grandmother grew up with herbert hoover here we can go the microphone to. yeah i was saying the slide parallel i have is i grew up with the hoover story too because my grandmother grew up with herbert hoover in newburgh and my great grandfather raised herbert hoover from age 11 to 18. and so that stigma was always, wow, you know, i have this close connection to a president, but it's herbert hoover. you know who was in the depression and, you know, in and what's interesting for me and i want to

at some point, j edgar hoover who also locked horns with bobby, because bobby told hoover you can no longer just walk into the oval office and talk with the president, you have to go through me. he had never been treated like that before, he had always tripled over the attorney general's. he is incensed. he has all these illegal eavesdropping devices across the country and he is picking up threats to the kennedys in mob social clubs that mob bosses are saying, we have to kill the kennedy brothers, the faster the better, i want to go in and cut them to pieces, i would like to do this or that to them, we have to move. there isn't fbi informant named josÉ who is close with associates in florida and when they are talking about the second term for kennedy they say it is never going to happen, he will be killed before november. he will be dead by november. and they say, what do you mean, he has it coming, it is in the works. he runs to his fbi handlers and says what he heard's and they run it up the chain to hoover, who hates bobby and feels he is going to ignore all the threats the mob is

edgar hoover has that head of the department invited so much controversy. may be the word of the week when it comes to the justice department from the mayor eric adams corruption case to the top prosecuting resignations. so for tonight's interview we turn to justice correspondent scott mcfarland. so scott, kash patel is now the head of the fbi, what does that mean for the borough? >> immediately it means they are going to move people out of washington and redeployed the male storm of the country, the first and out men from the new fbi director kash patel is that 1,000 agents and employees win employees will be relocated from the eight headquarters at washington to the many dozens of field offices and regent offices worldwide. that's a change, but there is a fundamental transcendent change here. that kash patel had a job opening to apply for in the first place is big. big moving forward. the previous fbi director chris ray stood down from his post just before president trump came in knowing he would be fired otherwise, and the fbi, the borough that is pride

and so the way they end now, what did you, edgar hoover, say? our you know, it was always this rat a tat. we went down there and used our best people and they investigated and they used our best forensic evidence. and we concluded that the bodies were buried there. well, now what happened was a mafia guy tortured them to giving up the location. now, if you're wondering what happened to our dear civil rights leader, greg scarpa, as he spent 30 years as a rat murdering, they believe 50 people and our great civil rights worker had a bad stomach from chewing aspirin. and he and he had to have a blood transfusion and he did not want a blood transfusion in new york because it could be contaminated with noncore caucasian blood. so he asked his crew to provide him with the blood and proceeded to contract hiv and died. so that is what happened to our civil rights leader, greg gregory scarpa. now we come to nixon. nixon was always scrounging around for money that and that's that's. and i get into some of the details with it. but the part that was there we

edgar hoover aside. and that's complicated because he was there for so long, had an fbi director who was such just a close political, political ally of a president and for whom that really is the primary connection. >> john. >> even j. edgar hoover, if he were here to have this conversation with us, would vociferously protest that he was a political person and he really wasn't. when you look at hoover, he wasn't attached so much to one political ideology or one politician. he was very much the tool and the executioner for every president he ever served. kash patel is fundamentally different. he is intrinsically connected to our current president. he is admittedly as he as he put in his senate confirmation questionnaire, served as a surrogate for the president for the last two years. he's campaigned with the president, uh, appeared at campaign events and things like that. so this is the first time the fbi has ever had an overt, admittedly political fbi director. and i think that opens up a lot of really s

and there was the taft commission, there were two hoover commissions, the grace commission under ronald reagan's presidency, and then of course, the national performance review, in which you participated, and you both contributed under president clinton's presidency. what can elon musk learn, if he wanted to learn from american history, from these previous efforts? - well, what i would hope he would learn is that he's right that periodically government has to be reorganized to look at if it's meeting its goals and to change how it meets its goal. what's happened through history is, actually, you've had changes in operating philosophy over the years. the last real change in philosophy was in the 1960s. - so what was the change in that governing philosophy, phil? - the change in philosophy was don't trust anyone to use their judgment, because human judgment is fallible. and we need to create a new system that will guarantee that all choices are correct. let everyone who complains have a hearing. and the result of that is paralysis. so i think the solution is to actually change our operati

edgar hoover here. yes. you know, we'll we'll see whether this ten year term, which was meant to insulate the office and allow an fbi director to go from one administration, continues serving into the next a norm and more than a norm of practice. that was changed when essentially, chris wray decided he needed to resign because it meant ultimate conflict with donald trump. and he felt that it was in the best service of the fbi not to continue as director. >> look. >> when donald trump is gone, there's a democratic president. i can't imagine they're going to want to keep on someone as destructive as kash patel. but i couldn't imagine, frankly, that we would be in this place to begin with. so we're in uncharted waters. we've had a debate about what level of constitutional crisis we're in, and frankly, i think we're already there. and yes, it can get worse if they just start ignoring court opinions. but when you have someone who is essentially the president's roy cohn, his hatchet man, now controlling the premie

they agree hoover became director of the fbi in 1924 and led the bureau for 48 years. until his death in 1972. he is credited with professionalizing the bureau and developing its investigative ability. however, with little or no oversight, hoover also use the bureau's investigative powers improperly. he infamously directed the fbi to spy on dr. martin luther king jr., thurgood marshall, other civil rights leaders of the day. in 1975 the united states senate created the frank church committee and they disclosed widespread abuses by the fbi and other u.s. intelligence agencies. the church committee concluded these agencies have engaged in illegal surveillance and as a result "groups and individuals have been assaulted, oppressed, harassed and disrupted because of their political views, social beliefs, and their lifestyles." in the intelligence agencies have served the political and personal objectives of presidents and other high officials. the hoover era of the fbi, the watergate scandal, of the findings of the church committee highlighted the risk of political interfer
