eleanor: it's their money. pat: post-convention polls will show a significant lift for the donald, eleanor. [laughter] eleanor: that hillary will come back a week later. kudos to the city of cleveland and the police force in cleveland for maintaining security and protecting the rights of the protestors. tom: 100% with eleanor and pat, but leaf eye shirley is a young american who died in syria to fight with the kurds. a tribute to the exceptionalism of this country and he will be remembered. clarence: i predict the democrats will run all speeches next week through anti-plagiarism software. john: i predict if he wins the presidency, he will choose chris christie as his attorney general. bye-bye. >>> legal low and welcome to qqed newsroom, i'm thuy vu. coming up reporters from youth radio examine sex trafficking in oakland. the first graphic novelist to be named national ambassador for young people's literature. >>> first a look back the gop convention that wrapped up in cleveland, a look forward as democrats gear

eleanor? leanor: first of all, you are conflating some very different scandals in new york. -- led condition silver sheldon silver was taking and shouldor decades go to jail. campaign finance violations mayor is a lot different. you can go to almost every state country clarence's home state of illinois has had a lot of experience with corruption. i'm sorry. eleanor: in alabama today a couple of officials are indicted. what the american people are worked up about. they are worked up about the corruption you see from the michigan when you flint.a water crisis in people are worked up when they look at a congress that doesn't perform. angry at washington. maybe in these individual states populations, angry but corruption unfortunately has been part of politics for a long time. i don't think it is going up. and i would point out that had a nt obama has scandal-free eight years. role modeln absolute in terms of how a public official should conduct himself. is corrupt,vernment americans believe, some

but eleanor wanted to do more than be a mother. she felt she had a mission to do useful work in the world. she was fixated on helping the poor and was never a full-time mother. her surviving children were largely raised by a succession of governesses, some of whom seemed to have been pretty severe. by and large, the lives of the roosevelt children were not characterized by a lot of self-discipline. or a lot of discipline of almost any kind, for example. eleanor has an interesting line in the first of three autobiographical volumes she produced. this is from volume one in which he remarks -- she remarks, i had gone through six pregnancies in the first ten years of our marriage. she seems barely to refrain from saying enough was enough. [laughter] but how do you say that and enforce it many in an era when artificial birth control was outlawed? use your imagination. and note that it was at about this time that eleanor had employed a beautiful young social secretary named lucy mercer. franklin seems always to have had a bit of a roving

why eleanor roosevelt? >> because of human rights. i think one of the big changesoe in the way america operates in the 21st century, especially as contrasted to the founders era, is that the founders, remember and george washington farewell speech advises against foreign entanglement and said if we're going to look out foran cells and take advantage of god's gift and natural barriers. and in the p owner roosevelt comes along and a post-world war ii moment, not only is she advocating for the u.s. to get involved with the united nations and the idea of a global community, she is also advocating something called the universal declaration of human rights. the kind of right that we celebrate, individual protection and individual entitlement if you will that gov beyond government she says are not just american ideas, they are ideas that we should promote, advocate, celebrate to the world.in the book so you get, i set the example in the book when boko haram on bad guys kidnapped all those young women and took them out and how that starts an

this is eleanor roosevelt living through this moment. so eleanor roosevelt in terms of universal declaration of human rights, in terms of the united nations, in terms of global consensus about what is right and what is wrong is -- i don't think there's any figure that's comparable. i will note that when hillary clinton began her campaign, she began it at a park that honors eleanor roosevelt. so i think for clinton, eleanor roosevelt is her top role mold. >> i'm going to do something which i know as a fellow author i hate which is to ask you why you didn't include certain people, certain facts or certain things. >> sure. >> to my mind -- now, i know jimmy carter's in here, but he's not prominent. and to my mind, jimmy carter's actually underappreciated because he's the first president who actually injected human rights into the national, international foreign policy debate. before carter it was kind of an academic exercise. borders, military movements, things like that. but he was the first one to really kind of put, you know, who started

eleanor. [applause] eleanor: i want to talk about a second hero from the feminist movement. some people are technical and -- technicolor and some people are black and white, and betty friedan was definitely technical. kate millett, who has been a friend of mine for nearly 16 years, also in her own way made great strides in progress for women. she wrote the other book, sexual politics, which is known as the bible of the feminist movement. so you have "the feminine mystique" and you have "sexual politics." kate was also called the major oretician of- the the feminist movement. she was also called one of the 10 most important people in the 20th century. i knew her in a very, very different way, and by the way , it was said the world was asleep but kate millett woke it up. i met kate when i was just out of college with a degree in philosophy at brandeis university. and i did not want to go home after i graduated and live with my parents. my mother sort of thought i was a bit nefarious because i did not have an mrs degree. i only had a degree with honors in philosophy, not quite

for clinton eleanor roosevelt is her top role model. include >> i'm going to do something which as a fellow author i hate, to my mind, now, i know jimmypr carter is in here but not prominent and to my mind jimmy carter is actually underappreciated because he's the first president who actually injicted -- injected human rights into the international foreign policy debate. he was the first one to put a human face, real humans involvef . bill not mentioned and why did you consider those three and -- >> no, there are lots of people that you could say, the most frequent mention on this frontar that i get, why didn't you include are steve jobs, zuckerberg with facebook, the technological people. again, technology is a huge change in the way we live. you could imagine the founding fathers being stunned at things like facebook or twitter coming from politicians in the middleor of the night. they'd be like, wow, we don'tt know anything about this. but i don't think that they would have said, oh, we don't expect that 240, 250 years later that the

roosevelt living through this moment, so eleanor roosevelt in terms of universal declaration of human rights in terms of the united nation in terms of global consensus about what is right and what is wrong, i don't think -- i will note that when hillary clinton began her campaign she began at a park that honors eleanor roosevelt >> . . . >> >> to get a new perspective on how you lead a team and how you manage assets i was the big fan of the leadership principle books and a fait that will be a motivational so that is on their there is an interesting book that is called fluke ellis at the mathematics and science so i want to read fluke so it is interesting how something seems to happen. just curiosity how it causes her mind to work out of your everyday box of looking at how policy. that enters your mind so it is good for you. >> if talking to you in the past with the biography. >> yes i read the book and it was great as a matter of fact that is one this summer i will read with my grandson's. they were so into pyrites and i thought what a great way to introduce them to history and to the

that said, amelia took eleanor up in the plane, in her plane on a couple of occasions.n 1934, the president of purdue university was in the audience at a lecture that amelia gave. and was so taken by her story that after the lecture, he came forward and introduced himself and invited amelia to come out to west lafayette, indiana, home of purdue university to perhaps speak to the students and to investigate the possibility of setting up a women in aviation, women in engineering curriculum at purdue. and so she accepted the invitation. and she becomes a visiting professor at purdue and this shows her atop the lockheed electra that she would fly around the world in 1937, with the first class of female aviation students under her tutelage. what is interesting also is that in exchange for amelia's work at purdue, president elliott at purdue will devote the funds to help construct a state of the art aircraft that flies faster, longer distances, he described it as a flying laboratory, but for amelia, this was a plane that she saw she could use to fly around the world. as we mo

it is very hard. >> eleanor, clearly the pain still there. when you put that up against what donald trump was telling george stephanopoulos, there is no equal sign there. >> no. the message sent, and i believe received when that couple appeared on the stage in philadelphia, was that you can wear a hijab in this country and be a patriot american and second when donald trump said the speech writers just wrote it undermining what was so clearly this man's personal pain and passion, i think it's pretty despicable on mr. trump's part. >> and i do want to get to that shortly. but, susan, we're talking about a u.s. soldier that lost his life. and we put that on that backdrop. you know, donald trump could have handled this much more easily. >> and it's in his nature to. and one of the things donald trump has going for him on the softer side is his family, is his children and that relationship they have,plus, he's had a very good relationship with veterans. all he had to say is there is no greater service. there was nothing -- that's the greatest sacr

we will start with eleanor clift.t prominent affect you think bernie sanders' candidacy is head of the democratic party? guest: i think he has touched a nerve with the party. the base of the party wanted to midst of all the left -- wanted to move to the lesser of -- wanted to move to the left about this issue of inequality. think that has grown stronger since then. to thesee has spoken issues and hillary clinton has basically adopted them. it is not like she is opposed to the $15 an hour wage increase, to making college more affordable. she would not go as far as he to make all public colleges free. practical is more trying to look at what you get through a divided congress. i think he has energized the and keeping the base energized going into the election is critical because that is the coalition that elected barack obama twice with over 50%, which is the strongest majority any democrat has gotten for some time. to bring these folks to the polls again, i think bernie sanders these at a prominent place in the democra

and i googled the name and what popped up was a woman named eleanor francis kelly . there was this beautiful picture of her black and white taken at nasa in the 1960s where she's accepting an award and i was stunned by this picture because i had no idea that women worked at nasa at the time, much less as a scientist so i really wanted to learn more and i found out that actually eleanor francis was not alone, there was a large group of women who worked at this jet propulsion laboratory starting in the 1940s and they were known as computers. so at a time before the digital devices we have today, a computer meant simply a person who computes . >> host: how did this group of women come together at a time when women in technology such as the engineering done at jpl was a rarity? >> guest: it ended up being an all women group simply because of a woman named macy roberts and macy roberts started at the jet propulsion laboratory very near its inception and in 1942 she was made supervisor of the computers. and while she had men that applied for the job, she decided she wanted

known as the wagner eleanor taft bill.ms a bill to clear the in the big cities, and to help .irect the low-rent housing that bill, as i say, passed the senate four years ago, but died in the house. that bill was reintroduced in the80th congress as taft-elinor-wagner bill. the with name was finally changed, but it passed the senate. there was -- it was allowed to die in the house of representatives. the committee sat on that bill. it was finally forced out of the committee, then the rules committee took charge, and it still is in the rules committee. but desperate pleas from philadelphia in the convention that met here three weeks ago could not get that housing bill passed. they passed a bill they called a housing bill, but did not -- was not worth the paper it is written on. [applause] harry truman: the labor, we need moderate legislation to promote labor harmony, but congress instead pass to that so-called taft-hartley act, which is disruptive labor-management and will cause strife and bitterness for years to come if it i

eleanor says to him, harry, the president's dead and the room starts to spin. truman had this recurring nightmare that the secret service would knock on his demoor the middle of the night and tell him that the president was dead. now it happened. he said i'm so sorry, is there anything i can do for you and eleanor says is there anything we can do for you? you're the one in trouble now. it wasn't only truman that was going to be in trouble. all of us were going to be in trouble. the world was in trouble. truman had been vice president only 82 days. during that time he met with roosevelt only twice. they never discussed anything of substance. he didn't know any of the antagonism with the british. now he is going to be making the most monumental decisions in history and it is unfortunate. briefly let me give you a little bit of background on harry truman. truman was born in 1884 in missouri. his father, john truman was a little guy, but he was a tough guy and his nickname was peanuts, john peanuts truman. he was an unsuccessful farmer. he would go around picking f

finally he suggested eleanor francis parker was insurer so i googled name a and what popped up was a woman named eleanor francis had him there was a beautiful picture, of black-and-white nasa in the 1960's excepting an award -- accepting an award i was interested i didn't know women worked at the time much less as a scientist and i found out she was not alone. should there was a large group of women that worked at the jet propulsion laboratory and they were known as computers at a time before the digital devices to a limit to personal computers. >> host:. >> host: how did this group of women come together with the engineering done was a rarity? >> it was an all women's group because the ball woman named lisa roberts she started at the jet propulsion lab very near the inception and then was made a supervisor of the computers. she hadn't applied for the job she decided she wanted to make it all women. her thinking if she wanted to make it a cohesive group feeling like a family but also worried that she hired men they would have difficulty listening to her because she was a woman. >> ho

jackie and eleanor had seven children, four of whom survived. martha, who i will focus on, being the matriarch. nelly born in 1779 and finally a brother george washington park cust urc trc custus known as washy. martha was born in the blue room upon hearing news of her birth, george washington wrote to his stepson congratulating him on the birth of another daughter. less than three years later jackie kustus died of camp fever and the children were split. the two eldest children remained with their mother at abington while the two younger children went two mount vernon. less than two years after jackie cu src custus' death, eleanor remarried. they had an additional 13 children from their marriage. although martha remained at abington plantation she was a frequent visitor to mount vernon. in 1785, robert edge behind arrived at mount vernon, intending to paint a portrait of washington. the artist produced portraits of washington grandchildren, including this portrait of martha at about 7 or 8 years old. martha was 16, she accompanied her step grand

amendment 202 sponsored by eleanor norton on page 35 line 30. the proposed amendment is page 25, 30. change the sentence that currently begins with "we will checks."ckground change it to this, "to expand on the success of the act, we will expand." >> it is important we in the clinton administration it was the brady bill. in this room are members of congress who sat in on the floor. [applause] >> one of the reason was to get back background checks. the matter how strong the latter is, it can be undercut with the gun show loophole or the charleston loophole and yet, president clinton got is the brady bill. two point 5s kept million people from getting guns. felons.n of them were of all the gun bills out here, this is one of the most important and in effect, everyone in this room knows how gun laws are. it is a beautifying part of the amendment. but if you are a democrat in debt understand where background checks come from, you will unanimously support. >> 15-seconders? i will call. all those in favor raise your white card. wishing to reflect negat

so i really wanted to learn more about i found out that actually eleanor francis was not alone and they were known as computers so at the time before the digital devices a computer simply meant a person who computes. >> host: how did that group woman together when women in technology, engineering that was being done at jpl was a rarity. >> guest: it ended up being an all-women group simply because of macy roberts. in 1942 she was made supervisor of the computers and while she had men that applied for the job, she decided that she we wanted to make it all women and her thinking is that she wanted to make it a cohesive group and feel like a family, but she also was worried that if she hired men they would have difficulty listening to her because she was a woman. >> host: interesting. so what did this group of women computers do and why did this particular job ended up being filled primarily by women? did this happen elsewhere in the space industry during the cold war? >> guest: this group of women was pretty unique to jpl and in that they were had a women supervisor or this very powerful

also adam goodman and eleanor clift. eleanor, i want to talk to you. with your wide group of sources here, we have clinton surrogate senator sharon brown from ohio saying today on abc an indictment is unlikely, this going back to the fbi interview that had happened yesterday. what are your sources tell you? >> people who know far more about the law than i do have basically said that the statute under which this investigation is being conducted having to do with classified e-mail on this personal server, that it requires for an indictment for there to be kuculpability. there has to be malice aforethought, a willingness to cha share classified information willingly and that the culpability falls on the person who sent the classified information, not the receiver. so that would seem to vindicate hillary clinton to some extent as well. when you look at the law, it's very difficult to come away and think there's an indictment here. but the fact that the attorney general has kind of taken herself out because she doesn't want the appearance of political inter

one suggested eleanor francis and i wasn't sure and tell i googled name eleanor francis helene and i was just done by the picture i had no idea that women worked at that time so i found out eleanor francis was not alone that jet propulsion is laboratory there were no computers so that a time a computer men to a person that computes. >> host: how did this group of women come together with that was rare? >> just because of macy roberts who started at the jet propulsion laboratory near the inception and then made supervisor of the computers and while she had meant that applied she decided she wanted to make it all women with a cohesive group but she was also worried they would have difficulty listening to her because she was a woman. >> host: so what did they do? primarily by women during the cold war? >> but to have a woman supervisor that is very powerful they spent there-- in the beginning with the potential of rocket propellants and trajectories for their early vessels -- and then things changed and then when they begin changing the first computer programmers 40 or 50 years one of t

eleanor says to him, "harry, the president is dead." he and had nightmares that the secret service would knock at his door in the middle of the night and tell him he was president. he'll most passes out. finally, he gets his bearings and asks "i'm so sorry, is there any thing i can do for you?" and she says that it is a city to do some degree. truman had been vice president for 82 days. during that time, he had met with roosevelt twice. they had not discussed anything of substance. he did not know any of the agreements with the russians. he had no idea of our policy. now he is going to be making the most monumental decision in history, and it is unfortunate. levy me give you a background on truman. he was born in 1884 in missouri. his father was a little guy, but he was a tough guy. his nickname was "peanuts." he was an unsuccessful farmer who would go around picking fights with guys who were a foot taller than him. he really wanted a macho son. he had a macho son, and that was harry's younger brother vivian. harry had hyper metro be a
