nixon? heath: in the end of the 1930's, beginning of the 1940's they met in whittier, california. she was teaching economics at whittier high school and other classes around business and he was a dashing young lawyer about town who was tall with dark hair and they meet at a community play called the dark tower. they both auditioned for the play. he sees pat and is instantly smitten and said after rehearsal the first night, i would like to take you on a date and gives him a ride home and she demurs and he is like, i am going to marry you one day and she is like, who is this crazy person? but there is something that intrigues her and he is very ambitious, he wants to get out of whittier and do great things, she also wants to get out, she wants to travel. so i think they see something in each other that they feel they will together be able to get out and do great things and get out of this provincial quakertown. they wanted a bigger life. peter: you talk about her driving a young couple cross-country. heath: i can barely get around bc in an uber. i cannot imagine doing what she did.

the inroads during the 1960's was richard nixon. you see that this year with the almost monolithic support of unions for the democratic ticket , save for the teamsters not endorsing this year. the reason is that democrats see the value of organizing, arguing why unions are good. the republican parties and candidates have not been nearly as enthusiastic. we do have the conversation between elon musk and donald trump. it kind of lingers out there and it has been heard. we have a labor shortage in this country in certain areas, certain types of work. the immigrant labor, the migrant labor, those who come to this country seeking a better life are the ones filling those positions. if they are not coming, we have a problem. it is a threat to the vitality of the economy. it is in part what keeps our food prices lower, because they have been more willing to work at lower wages here in the states. also, the notion of an open border -- it is relative. timing is everything. you have the collapse of venezuela and colombia. you have mass migrati

there are a number of files in the nixon library that contain nothing t s. to inform her. they had an interesting relationship. she had been a longtime supporter. she was constantly haranguing him via email about one problem or another that she saw was crucial to the survival of the republic. generally he would write back asserting he agreed with everything she said and wished there were more citizens like her but then he would do absolutely nothing about what she wanted him to do. he treated her basically like an annoying aunt at thanksgiving who tells you how to dress and vote and what shows to watch and rather than get into a long conversation that will only end with bad feelings, you acquiesce to her and then go about your business because she will not be there. he would say yes, you are absolutely right, and the nothing would happen. and she seems to not notice that often. on the other hand, he did not really want to antagonize her because she had a vast readership through the l.a. times syndicate and radio and television appearances so he had to keep her on his side,

: this is a great question, because this is certainly what the nixon administration felt when it broke the big farm bill in the early 1970's. the secretary of agriculture at the time was famous for saying to farmers, get big or get out. he certainly believed and the nixon administration believed that the way forward for american agriculture was bigger, more efficient, larger equipment producing more yield per acre. and that has worked wonderfully. no question that has been a success. the flip of that, it seems, is to ask the question that many of people now have been doing, what does this mean about our american food system? what exactly are we producing? it is largely carbohydrates in the form of grain and corn and soybean, a form of protein but soybeans get used for a lot of other things too. plenty of people have really important critiques to make about a corn and soy dependent agricultural system. and that is before you even get to the environmental consequences of roundup and all sorts of things that get poured into the soil. so it is efficient in doing the things it is efficient at doing, producing -- but is it effic

peter: how would you describe her support of richard nixon's long political career from the 1940's tohe 1970's? heath: i think she did know he was interested in politics early from the get-go and she worried about that. i found oral histories were she told a friend she was not sure if she could live in washington. however, let's think about the time. her job was to help her husband do his job. so she is totally on board, i think she is excited about it. the first race where he wins in 1946 to be in the house of representatives, that was the campaign and the wind they both enjoyed most of all and then the senate race is a little more difficult, things are a little tougher and it escalates from there. i think she did enjoy the political life for a while but quickly sees the dirty tricks, the things that happen, she has reams of campaign literature stolen that she has invested in, that was one of her wake-up calls. she realizes that some politicians are weasels and this is something she does not think at first but then she sees clearly what they are up against. peter: why do you call her
