the result was the republicans attacked roosevelt and said that the person who is going to sit at roosevelt's side if he is reelected is oral browder -- earl browder. this was, of course, nonsensical. nevertheless, it was declared and the people accepted this. the other problem was that roosevelt was unpatriotic because he had failed us at pearl harbor. he knew what had gone on and let pearl harbor happen. conspiracy theories are very common. we love conspiracies. we read about them all the time in newspapers and listen and watch about them on tv. the idea was that the president and his advisers knew that the japanese military code had been broken before pearl harbor and we did nothing about it. that was not true. we had broken the diplomatic code before pearl harbor, and we knew a week or ten days before pearl harbor that the japanese were going to break diplomatic relations with us. and that very likely meant conflict. general marshall and admiral king -- i'm sorry, admiral leahy -- sent out messages to all of the major posts in the pacific. from the canal zone to manila. saying, this is a

i am very much in the roosevelt camp. how fitting we should be having this conversation here and roosevelt house. the restored home of franklin and eleanor roosevelt shared with franklin's mother. the president no longer resided here by the time of pearl harbor but he spent important formative time in this space both before and after he was stricken with polio. he interacted here with key political leaders. it is safe to say he developed many of his ideas about the world within a few feet of where i now stand. those ideas would in turn guide grand strategy for better and worse. and influence the kind of world order he hoped to develop as part of the victory he expected the allies to achieve. this program is part of a series that is the brainchild of tina flaherty. she gives new meaning to the label "multitalented." she starred as a radio personality in memphis, tennessee. she began a successful career as a corporate executive. she became the first female vice president of colgate and then at two other leading corporations.

of the supreme court so roosevelt could tilt the court's political balance more to his liking. this was a center piece of roosevelt's agenda after his landslide reelection in 1936. its boldness reflecting the huge, huge democratic majority returned in both houses after the election of 1936. listen to this, my friends, when the 75th congress began in 1937, the democrats held a whopping 76 of 96 seats. there were only 48 states then. 76 of 96 seats. if you've ever been to the senate, you know there is an aisle down the middle and the republicans sit on one side and the democrats sit on the other. there were so many democrats after the election of 1936, they couldn't get them all on one side of the chamber. so they brought them over on the republican side in the back and cherokee strip. they said they were off the reservation. but as is often the case happens when you have a very large majority, the majority begins to splinter, and the party was indeed badly divided. as one columnist said at the time, overwhelming majorities, like oversized amoebas, tend to split, and that is just

it is dedicated to the it or roosevelt. in fact if you had a chance to look at the book of poetry, there are two poems. one at the beginning, and one at the end. the first one is about abraham lincoln and it is called the master, and the other one is about theodore roosevelt. these two poems stand in the book like monuments. bookends to the poems that are in between that both men -- he creates the two of them, lincoln and roosevelt -- as powerful men who shape the nation and point us towards the future. the poems are identical in size and shape, they both have eight stanzas, eight lines in each stanza, they both have the same rhyme schemes. so he is obviously equating lincoln with roosevelt as the two greatest presidents from his point of view. he always wondered if he had fulfilled the wish that roosevelt had for him. he wrote to kermit, roosevelt's's in 1913. he wrote "i don't like to think where i should be now if it had not been for your astonishing father. he fished me out of hell by the hair on my head. it's so enabled

what made you think the world needed another book on teddy roosevelt? why did you think you needed to write one about him and what was the idea -- where the idea come from between past and roosevelt, not relationship? >> i think what happens is it's not when you start to get in the world might need another book about teddy because i couldn't have answered that question again at the start. but i knew i wanted to live with him. given a seminar at harvard and i was young about the progressive era in that time had always interested me, the wonderful era where you've got the robber barons at the turn of the 20th century in the industrial revolution and all his inventions happening, telephone and telegraph is an exciting era and yet also a difficult area because the gap between the rich and the poor were so great and you so great and you had people in in slums of little being done for worker's compensation and then teddy roosevelt comes along as a republican and understands he needs to get the government involved in softening the affects of the industrial orde

william howard taft gets the nomination. teddy rooseveltuns as an independent on a progressive bull moose ticket. he did finally run for president on his own progressive ticket in 1924. la follette looked at the two parties, davis and the democrats, coolidge and the republicans, and said both are conservative parties. neither are running on progressive reform issues, and he created a third party that ran with burton wheeler, a democrat, as his vice president and la follette for president. it was poorly funded. they had about $250,000 to spend nationally compared to about $4 million the republicans have an about $2 million the democrats had. relied on his own speechmaking ability. should consider it his patriotic duty to build at least a part of his life into the life of his country. gotmazingly, la follette about 17% of the vote nationally in that election. that was the second best run of a third-party. only teddy roosevelt's bull moose progressive party exceeded that. matched andn 1992 slightly exceeded la follette's effort. he carried onl

graduate of he wrote a critique of federal indian policy in 1928 that would have a big impact in the roosevelt administration and was really the scholarship behind the indian new deal. another one was laura cornelius who was an activist from the oneida people in wisconsin and another was denison wheelock, a lawyer and activist working on behalf of indian rights. carlos montezuma was a member of the society of american indians and author, a physician and so was charles eastman who is also an author and have written a number of books. it was also a physician. all of these people had tribal affiliations. when you read the minutes of this meeting, you can see this kind of characteristic intertribal teasing that goes on between indian people. they were identified with their tribes but they were also working out this idea of the unique contribution of the indian race as they put it. in 1909, the naacp have been formed. with the society for american indians coming in in 1911, we get a sense of certain conceptual continuities especially with the idea of race. factionalizeduld over two issues in the co
