The David Frum Show examines whether Herbert Hoover remains one of America’s most misunderstood presidents. Margaret Hoover discusses Hoover’s life, his time in office and the continuing debate over his historical legacy.
The episode also looks at renovation work connected with Hoover’s presidential library, placing the project within a broader conversation about how presidents are remembered and interpreted.
David Frum opens with his reaction to the Justice Department’s decision to drop its case involving Trump’s Reflecting Pool indictment. The program then turns to literature with a discussion of John le Carré’s Cold War novel, The Spy Who Came in From the Cold.
Together, the topics connect presidential history, current legal developments and political fiction in a wide-ranging episode of The David Frum Show.
