eleanor roosevelt on screen. her first book, please join me in welcoming ms. beachum to the roosevelt reading festival. well, thanks for that introduction and thanks, everybody, for being here. thanks also to the archivists here who are so important to all this work that we do, thanks to the other researchers and scholars. and also, i have to thank both franklin and eleanor roosevelt for the shining example that they made for all of us. so i'll be talking about my book. eleanor roosevelt on screen. and i think i'm the only one here today talking about air rather than fdr. and i'm also a film and television historian. so my topics a little different than everyone here today. but over the years, i found myself recognizing that eleanor was not just a pioneer in print and radio, but she's the first woman in the united states to host major public affairs, broadcast television. and that's something nobody talks about. but quite a big deal today with mrs. roosevelt, aired weekly on nbc in 1950, and albert einstein made

eleanor: lovely, thank you for having me back. we as you mentioned, are going super fast in the u.s. our corporate customer base increased by double. in the last year in the u.s. those that are easing our product to enhance legal teams accelerate the work they are doing with contracting. quite frankly, 40% of our revenue now comes from the u.s. we only opened up our u.s. operations a few years ago and have seen success after success. working with customers like amd one of the largest chip manufacturing companies in the world. we are hiring in hubs to meet the organic growth we have seen. lizzy: as a u.k. business leader, do you think keir starmer should be taking a leaf out of trump's book when it comes to deregulation and tax cuts? eleanor: the ai action plan is definitely a step in the right direction. it is bold, it is promising. what really stood out for me is there was this narrative of changing the u.k., for an ai maker other than mam meme i take her, essentially creating the wave rather than writing the wave which is fantas

indeed, eleanor would have preferred churchill to occupy house across the street from the white house instead. anyway, book offers a fresh and frequently entertaining look at u.s. british relations at the highest level during an important span of history. and moderating the discussion this evening about these special will be one of our country's leading political correspondents, bob costa, whose chief election and campaign correspondent for cbs news. so you can imagine he has nothing to do these days about previously as a national political reporter, the washington post and as moderator and managing editor of washington on pbs. he also co-wrote it with bob woodward, the bestselling peril about the tumultuous transition between the trump and biden presidencies. plus, he has his own connection to churchill, which he will explain in a minute. so ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming bob small and bob costa costa. thank you so much, brad. appreciate it. good evening to everyone. thanks much for coming out here tonight. i'm bob costa with cbs. and i'm really to be here not only

let's speak to dr eleanor drage.ambridge and co—host of the good robot podcast. thank you very much forjoining us here on bbc news. the government in the us argues that tiktok could be potentially used for spying and political manipulation. how credible are those claims? 50 credible are those claims? so there is credible are those claims? sr there is no evidence to suggest that there is anything different that is happening now than in 2020. the ai arms race narrative that the us had created to make china less competitive is a myth. there is no evidence to suggest that china is doing anything akin to the manhattan project and that it is as competitive as the us suggests. so the question is, why has trump changed his tune in the last couple of weeks and why is he not saying that tiktok is posing a threat to privacy as he did before? in fact, he said something to on true social in the end of 202a. in september, when he said the voters, go out the vote for me and i will protect tiktok, tiktok will be under threat by the

helen taft and eleanor roosevelt and betty ford and others had published memoirs before 1982, but therend accelerated in this time. in the 1980s and mrs. reagan and rosalynn carter wrote two each. first lady public wife in 1988. it was just one in a line of fascinating insider stories. the 1990s was a rich decade. scholarly articles based upon archival research began to appear in presidential studies quarterly. the saga of the president's wives their power, two ambitious volumes over 1,000 pages written as a kind of temporally layered multibiography of all of the first ladies together. then came the first of in would be a landmark of eleanor roosevelt's secret book. >> we don't have three-volume biographies. to think that a first lady, even eleanor roosevelt could be worthy of three volumes and published bia published by a major press and that was huge and academic acceptance. in the 1990s lewis gould noticed that while interest in first ladies was increasing we lacked reference book detailing their achievements and he sought exemplary scholars in different fields and it's true he som

now, helen taft and eleanor roosevelt, lady bird johnson, betty ford and others had published memoirs 1982. but the trend accelerated in this time in the 1980s, mrs. ford wrote a second book, and rosalynn carter and nancy reagan published two books apiece. mrs. reagan's chief of staff, james rosebush, wrote first lady, public wife, for example, 1988, it was just one in a line of fascinating insider stories. the 1990s was a rich decade. scholarly articles based upon archival research began to appear in journals like presidential studies quarterly. author carl anthony, published first ladies the saga of presidents wives and their power to ambitious volumes over thousand pages written as a kind of tempore lee layered, multiplied biography of all the first ladies together. then came the first of what would be a land three volume biography of eleanor roosevelt by historian reece and cook, three volumes. there are united states presidents who don't have three volume biographies. to think that a first lady, even eleanor roosevelt, could be worthy of three volumes and that it was published a

eleanor smeal. bennie g thompson. wayne sis any. thomas j -- francis visco. paula wallace. and evan wilson. ♪ distinguished guests, the president of the united states. ♪ [applause] pres. biden: hello, hello. please have a seat. happy new year. welcome to your house, the white house, the people's house. as i've said before, the most important title in america is not president but citizen. it is we the people, these are the words on which the entire nation has been built, not hyperbole. we gather here in the east room next to the portrait of teddy roosevelt. reformer, soldier, governor, president. he promoted the cause of active citizenship. despite his rugged individualism, he believed in forging common ground. he once said, grave perils are yet to be encountered in the stormy course of the republic but there is no reason we should fear them or doubt the capacity to overcome them. we should live so as to deserve the high praise of being called a good american citizen. that's what you all are, good american citizens. that's the carrying forward heart, hard work and the americ

that was a foundation foot eleanor roosevelt later did -- of what eleanor roosevelt later did. when the united states -- extracted the essence of what the primary interval values are and pull together in semi-legal terms in the declaration of human rights. now i'm afraid they are being basically abandoned in many ways around the world. the carter center is fighting against that. >> when you are running for president in 75 and 76, did you know that the human rights agenda would be essential to you if you got there? mr. carter: yes, i did. i would say that when i became president, during my term, there was a general sigh of relief in america than for finally we had resolved the race issue, gotten over years of slavery and then 100 years of official and legal discrimination by white people against black people. we kind of breathed a sigh of relief we were finally out of that period. but lately, there are developments in the white house and other places, it has become a very burning issue again. there's a great deal of discrimination and racial animosity that has evolved again or c

franklin roosevelt, as it affected eleanor roosevelt. yes. did attend the white house when roosevelt was in the white house. she attended hazel scott, the famous pianist and probably her best friend or one of her best friends. it was it was no, it was a fundraiser for the infantile paralysis. but she had yearly and they and she actually ran into him in the basement when was in his wheelchair. and they had a conversation. but yes, she was invited to the white house. she did go to the white house and hazel scott went her. yes. franklin roosevelt was never as daringly progressive as his wife, eleanor. we know that eleanor was much more liberal after this brilliant dissection of the song. wouldn't it be appropriate for us to close this session with another hearing of the original performance. i'm sorry. yes. let's get a question over here first. i'm over here. not a lot. c-span wants to. all right, i'm just curious. the new yorker had that ad. so the ad was get people to go to cafe society. it was an ad for the song, which they got. right. i mean

eleanor, you know so much about carter's legacy and how it is continuing through habitat for humanityit on the map. all around the globe, right. >> okay. >> talk to us, eleanor, about that because you went with them on one of their constructions. >> they became the face for habitat for humanity and in the late '80s my husband and i did habitat for humanity week in atlanta. we stayed in the dorms and in the morning you bust out to the work site and i looked out the window of the bus and it was early, 7:00 a.m., and there was jimmy carter jogging to get to the worksite. and he was harder working than anybody else. he was probably then in his early 60s, i would guess. he went up onto the roof and was fearless about that. it was hard work. they would set aside 40 minutes in the middle of the day for a lot of people that were there to get their books signed and he would sit there and he would not even look up. he would write j carter, j carter. a lot of people were disappointed. they were hoping to get more personal comments. they were lucky they didn't get the auto pen. carter was so rele

congratulations to kristen, to noah, and of course, eleanor's proud big brother elliot. and just a special note for eleanor when you may or may not get into your teen years, i want you to know this. your mother is a badass. when you get into your teen years and may or may not understand that, noting it here. thank you so much for joining inside politics. cnn news central starts after the break. >> kobe believed in himself at the youngest possible age. >> it's one of the most remarkable stories in sports history. >> i don't want to be remembered as just a basketball player. >> kobe premieres january 25th on cnn. >> can support your brain health. >> mary. janet. >> hey, eddie. >> no. frasier. >> frank. >> frank. >> fred, how are you? >> fred. >> support up to seven brain health indicators, including memory. when you need to remember. remember. nariva. and are you ready for this? >> are you ready for this? are you ready for this new alka-seltzer plus cold or flu fizzy chews? >> chew fizz. feel better fast. no water needed. new alka-seltzer plus fizzy juice like a relentless

earlier i spoke to dr eleanor drage, who is a senior research fellow at the university of cambridge anduld be used as a means for spying and political manipulation. this narrative has been around for a very long time, and it's part of what we call the ai arms race, which is a fabricated narrative that the us has been pushing for many years to boost their sinophobic rhetoric. so, they're pretty anti—china, they always have been. there is no evidence to suggest that china is doing more damage now with cyber security issues than it has ever been in the past. but the reason why trump has had this u—turn is possibly we're also not quite as concerned about bytedance, which is tiktok�*s parent company, which was at one point thought to be a rival to 0penai, which is thejewel in silicon valley's ai crown. so today, instead, trump is saying, well, actually, i love tiktok and i'm a big tiktok star, so let's keep tiktok. and actually, perhaps what he's trying to do is create some political leverage and say, well, the supreme court may be against tiktok, but i will be the saviour. and when the ban

earlier, i spoke to dr eleanor drage, who is a senior research fellow at the university of cambridgeod robot podcast on whether the app could be used as a means for spying and political manipulation. this narrative has been around for a very long time, and it's part of what we call the ai arms race, which is a fabricated narrative that the us has been pushing for many years to boost their sinophobic rhetoric. so, they're pretty anti—china, they always have been. there is no evidence to suggest that china is doing more damage now with cyber security issues than it has ever been in the past. but the reason why trump has had this u—turn is possibly because now there is less concern about china among the public. we are not as afraid of covid and of china as we were before. the tiktok spy narrative has died down a little bit, and there's lots of other reasons to suggest that the public doesn't have china at the forefront of its minds. we're also not quite as concerned about bytedance, which is tiktok�*s parent company, which was at one point thought to be a rival to openai, which is theje

yes, as you can see, the senses measure eleanor's brain activity, heart rate, movement, breathing and muscle tension while she to sleep. it will show how quickly she fell asleep and how well she slept. the next day, talk to and sleepers the chick connecting you have reached a takes a closer look at ellen. it's data. me see? yeah, i got see here, it's up to about an hour to fall asleep. i'm going to find that it could be linked to your maybe getting something heavy before going to bed. i think it's what did you reset it? think it? yes sir. and i had stuff to take it. kate's with salad, here in the restaurants in your, in the getting that a lot of salad isn't so good. most people can't cope with and cook vegetables before bed the intestine to be much more energy to digest them, then it does for cooked vegetables at all. so you can call this give me these at the, and that's the most ideal, cuz the good also needs to get some rest at night. my name is jose o brain and got a closely connected ones in the night when we sleep, our brain should recover in parallel with that got our lives. so

we only had until saturday morning to get ready for the next lady who was eleanor roosevelt. and this is the dress that probably many of you have seen at the smithsonian. it's made silk and metallic and it's on display. the first lady's gallery. the first lady's gallery was started in 1916. by the way, and i don't know how many of you subscribe to smithsonian magazine, to some of you get the smithsonian magazine. well, they had an article about washington's dress from the smiths and in it, and it's a hand-painted silk dress and it had flowers on it. and they said these were the flowers from her garden. and i wrote a letter to them which they published and. it's not true. the silk was made in china. it was all hand-painted in china. and import had nothing to do with the in her garden. a little fact that they forgot. but lu lu. was the first lady of style charm and substance as. as anybody interested in her will know. anybody who's read any of the books on will know. and this these speaker before me made it very clear that we have a serious woman. but don't forget that fact. sh

eleanor stack is operations lead at the crisis & emergency response of the british red cross — she stresses — stay informed. so however you get your information, the weather warning should be that trigger for paying extra attention to whether it's travel advice or impact in terms of your local community, whether it might be advice from utilities companies. so weather warnings are those triggers. and then the next step is to think about, well, how can i prepare for the weather that's coming? so do i need to get in extra food? do i need to think about my medicines? about stocking up in terms of power and resilience? items like torches, chargers? if my community is susceptible to power outages, and then also thinking about support. we heard that fantastic piece earlier about the warm hubs. and do i need to think about where i can find warm welcome spaces? how do i find that information, and thinking about support that you might need, but also support that you might be able to offer other people, whether it's vulnerable family, friends, neighbours or other people in your community. we know, of

and that was that was a foundation of what eleanor roosevelt later done. then and evolving that helped to happen to all of the universal declaration of human rights. so the only time in human history when the united states had gone to all the basic the major religions that extracted the essence of what they are from our moral and ethical values are, and put them together. and then they kind of lay terms, but also some are some are legal terms was in the development of the universal declaration of human rights. and that has never happened before. sense and history. and now i'm afraid that they are being basically abandoned in many ways or many of them around the world because then it is fighting against that abandonment by the way, every day when you were running for president in 75 and 76, did you know that the human rights agenda would be as central to you once you if you got there? yes, i did. and i would say that when i became president and during my term, there was a general sigh of relief in america then. well, finally, we have resolved the race issue

the works of theodore roosevelt here at the top and a beautiful bust of eleanor roosevelt and then overe you'll like this, i think. this is a replica of the biden family bible that he has taken the oath of office on through every time he's been elected to office including the presidency, and so we have a replica -- >> how did you re-create that? >> it even has the wear marks. >> this is an exact same edition as the one that he has in the oval office. i wish we could take credit for recreating it, but we went out and obtained an exact copy of what he has. >> we walked past a couple of doors. where do the doors go in the real white house? >> well, if we were in the real white house this door would go into the president's study and into a little dining room. you see picture of the president having lunch with the vice president traditionally and it would be in that space. some presidents actually work in there most of the day and use the oval only for ceremonies. others will spent most of the work day in here and use that to take a phone call or do something just to have a change of scenery

eleanor holmes norton as delegate from the district of columbia, james c -- as delegate from guam. >> procedure of bringing in the 119th now is underway. on the house side, they have to choose a speaker. this is a bicameral event right now. you have a senate and house members who have come together as the nation watches, a brand-new congress with republicans with the majority in both but it gets sticky in the house, as you know. we noticed only one member elect who has not voted president and they were expected to be there. that is hank johnson. he is a democrat out of california. what you heard is with 433 -- of georgia, excuse me. with 433, they have enough for a quorum. if, for some reason at this point, they don't get what they need and they go to a second vote, what procedurally has to happen? >> it is triggered automa automatically. you raise an important point. what they just read is there are 433. the magic number is 217. >> less now for republicans. if he doesn't get 217 or more on the first vote, it will go to an extra and we were just being, and this is lisa mcclain here, t

here we have this is the douglas chandler portrait of eleanor roosevelt. she's probably the most i would say, the most famous most well known, most influential first lady. obviously, she was there for 12 years, so she had plenty of time to to to put more effort into it. but she was very much an advocate and activist as a first lady and really sort of mold it. that role more than has really defined it ever since. and this was the first portrait of a first lady that the association acquired and gave to the first permanent white house collection. the the whole background history of commissioning portraits for the white house collection was, really more of a government supported thing until the association came along. and now it's something that we've done with the last several administrations and administrations previous. where would this portrait be today? the actual portrait, this portrait today be downstairs in the ground floor in the vermeil room. and that was an idea that stretches back to first lady edith roosevelt. she had suggested putting first lady

they say that a whole generation of female journalists got their job because of eleanor. she was doing her radio shows from the white house. she was writing her columns. >> the various stages of like in the white house. >> is the roosevelt increase the public visibility of the white house to new levels, with world war ii comes a need for secrecy inside the mansion, and with it, a transformation of another room inside the home, in part due to one of the one of the most famous visits ever to the white house. >> in a dramatic redirection, the white house lets the nation in on an inspiring secret. winston churchill is here. after a daring 10 day trip from london, the british prime minister begins face-to-face conversations with president roosevelt. >> arriving only weeks after pearl harbor, he works with roosevelt, setting up temporary war headquarters inside the house. influenced by churchill's use of maps, fdr has his staff assemble his own war room inside the home. located next to the diplomatic reception room, here on the ground floor of the white house, and with his phys

previous first lady ladies were not doing that other than eleanor roosevelt. most were not doing anything like this but eisenhower see something and pat and they come to have a very good relationship as well and he tells dick nixon, take pat with you. peter: they went on several worldwide trips. heath: yes. they would be gone for months and pat was always conflicted because she adored julie and trisha and hated being away from them but she loved to travel and that was her job. her job was to go in that position as the second lady and she was a working second lady. most second ladies before that really weren't, it was more ceremonial and they were certainly not traveling the world on diplomatic missions with their husbands. peter: 1958. heath: caracas and all of that. this is something i think a lot of people have forgotten. they were on a goodwill tour, there was a communist bob that threw rocks at the motorcade where nixon was in one car and pat was in another car and there was th entougend a communist mob aacd them, there were shots fired, they were almost a

i if anything of the the there eleanor was the radical and because she's the one that put together along with scholars the universal declaration of human and deliberately just i think i kind of knew you were going to bring that question up and tell me tell me the name of your book again it was the imperial san francisco imperial san francisco. greg has is one of the scholars that has looked at at these kind of elites and san francisco and. so i, i don't think i mean roosevelt resisted the call for. you know violent repression. he didn't believe that it was all communism. speier and they never they they tried for years to try to prove harry bridges was a communist. and and claim to have actually discovered some papers in the pentagon when was opened up that said that it was his this was his name. it was his code name or something. but i mean, so whatever was i mean, it was it was an incredible time and a movement that scared the heck out of elites. in fact, i did a paper on the bohemian grove elites and and and the other general strike. i interviewed three of them at the time who were you

this is kind of a radical at the time previous the first ladies were not doing this other than eleanor who did some of this. most were not doing anything about eisenhower sees something and pat they come to have a very good relationship as well he tells dick nixon take pat with you. >> host: they would on several worldwide trips. >> guest: several worldwide trips to be gone for months and pat was always very conflicted she loved travel that was her job choose a working second lady. they really were not. it was more ceremonial. they were not traveling the world on diplomatic missions with her husband. throughout 1958 venezuela. >> guest: oh my goodness. caracas and all of that, this is something i think a lot of people have forgotten. they were on when these good world tours there is a communist mob not only threw rocks at the motorcade where vice president nixon is in a one car, pat is in the other with the prime minister's wife in there is a whole entourage. the communist mob attacks tm. there were shots fired. there almost assassinated. the trying to overcome the cars. pat is remarka

how about eleanor roosevelt and hillary clinton and so forth? if you define her influence on her husband who considered her his partner and his closest advisor, and she had better political skills than he did, she was enormously accomplished, got the first mental health legislation through, first immunizations for children, a huge variety of accomplishments they did together even though they went through very difficult times politically. and of course he lost when he ran for re-election. but this was one of the great partnerships ever, if you actually study what they did together. and almost nobody was married -- has been married for 77 years. you can count on two hands the number of americans who can claim that. >> jonathan alter, i want to thank you for this insight. i invite everybody to read your biography. and i do note as we're about to emp bark on this 47th presidency administration, this is kind of a sobering remind about what a presidency and a man and a marriage of humility and decency and morality, what that looked like. thank you for

and again, there's a story of eleanor witnessing them. she wasn't supposed to be in the room either, although she did come in a couple of times, but she saw them in the room playing with the pins on the wall, and she said they looked like two little boys playing soldier. they were in animated conversation and they looked like they were having a wonderful time. and then she paused and said, maybe two wonderful. somehow that anger on her part toward war in general and feeling like even though these two great men are prosecuting a war that has to be fought, they shouldn't be looking like they're having fun. moving pins around on the wall. as president roosevelt grapples with a country at war, mrs. roosevelt wrestles with tensions inside the home. in a historically poignant moment, she and her head housekeeper citing austerity reasons, as well as believing that the service staff will function better if it's all one color. dismiss all white members of it and hire only blacks at a lower cost. that donkey in uniform is john may's white house doo
