David Frum on Politics, Accountability & Herbert Hoover
In a recent episode of The David Frum Show for The Atlantic, David Frum explores questions of political accountability, presidential legacy, and the institutions that help safeguard American democracy. He opens by examining the Justice Department’s decision to drop its case against Olympian David Hearn, arguing that abuses of government power must carry consequences if democratic norms are to remain meaningful. Frum then sits down with Firing Line host Margaret Hoover to reconsider the legacy of her great-grandfather, President Herbert Hoover, whose reputation remains closely tied to the Great Depression despite a far broader career in public service. Their conversation highlights Hoover’s humanitarian work, his role in shaping the modern presidential-library system, and the newly renovated Herbert Hoover Presidential Library. Frum closes the episode with a look at John le Carré’s The Spy Who Came in From the Cold and the moral complexities at the heart of espionage fiction.
David Frum brings a distinctive combination of political expertise, historical perspective, and sharp analysis to conversations about American government and global affairs. His ability to connect current events with larger political and historical themes makes him a compelling choice for conferences, leadership gatherings, and other events seeking thoughtful discussion on the forces shaping our world.
