december 8, 1941, when by the way that wonderful service today down at the memorial they quoted franklin delano roosevelt and his statement on the 8th. but, look, what the last eight years have proven very simply is that without american leadership things go bad. when you lead from behind somebody else tries to lead from in front. now we're looking at -- you know, there was a person back in the roman times who was an opponent of the romans who said , they made a desert and called it peace. they made a desert and called it peace. in aleppo as we speak, my dear friends, they're making a desert. and sooner or later they're making a desert and sooner or russians and bishara soddy iranianians and the revolutionary guard and hezbollah will stop after they've slaughtered 5000, 10,000, 20,000 more people. and nobody seems to give a dam. and that is what the dreaded tragedy is of all of this. there was a time when mussolini invaded ethiopia and nobody cared. there was a time in the spanish civil war, thanks to hitler's and mussolini, they installed a fascist government and nobody cared. there was a time

maybe they are vaguely aware people need to be better even those basic facts paid delano's those statistics or the structure of the economy or things are getting better or worse. so that reasonable outcome preference they know where they want the country to go but to figure out policies that you want implemented and what leaders to advocate requires some degree of knowledge vice said there is a lot of crime one candidate says great i will increase the drug for with stop and frisk and a number of other things that i will reduce licensing requirements, that does not tell you how to pick between the two you have to know about social science and which will work better so to have a better knowledge of basic facts and mostly they don't know that or the required knowledge if in power they generally don't know that in requires knowledge of social science of economics what will happen they don't know that. >> host: just knowing a lot of things doesn't get the answer. you may disagree on a lot even though you are educated you and the conservative princess -- professor princeton disagree even though y

but at least one paper listed, headed its list of war dead with franklin delano roosevelt, commanderhief. residence, the white house. and a -- i don't think i can paraphrase it, but i end that chapter with a quote from a surprising source, senator robert taft who was known as mr. republican. he was somebody who had opposed practically everything domestic and foreign that roosevelt had done. his father had been president. he had the ambition of running for president. and of all the statements that were issued by public men on roosevelt's last day, i thought his was the most affecting. and if i can borrow your book, i'll read it because, because he was a very partisan source, but -- yeah. the president's death, senator taft said, removed the greatest figure of our time at the very climax of his career and shocked the world to which his words and actions were more important than those of any other man. he dies a hero of the war, for he literally worked himself to death in the service of the american people. it's interesting, of course, this was war, and people were patriotic. but as i s

it is franklin delano roosevelt, who interned asian americans during world war ii. so we are a complicated and real people. i know the hardest thing for me during this election was the disconnect i had between watching the rallies, which i think animates because it is a rally. the wisdom of crowds isn't particularly moderate. but to see lock her up and shouting at the media and jewusa. and terrible things that happened and his inability to in any way tamp that down and in some cases inspire it to view , that with my own experience with real people that i knew who were voting for trump who are friends of mine, who i don't tolerate because -- well they are irredeemable and deplorable i love. , but there are guys that i love, that i respect, that i think have incredible qualities who are not afraid of mexicans, or muslims or blacks they are , afraid of their insurance premiums. and this idea that, you know that they represent -- they have given tacit approval to a dictator and a madman, look at your phone, man. look at everything we have. we make those kinds of comprom

at that did that, but i could've easily, for instance, during the great depression when franklin delano roosevelt is creating a whole series ofth programs one of the things you see happening there are that the democrats are saying, yes, we really need relief. we need relief and agricultural funding and support, social security, but black people can't have that, so you can create this whole new deal of programs, but you have to exclude african-americans and i could have talked about that, but crunch peace time. thank you. >> hello. i really want to thank you so much for this work. it's incredibly profound and that things in here that you cited that i was completely unaware of like the state of mississippi did not ratify the 13th amendment until 2013. >> yes, the state of mississippi finally got around to ratifying the 13th amendment which abolished slavery in 2013. they said it was an oversight. >> well, you know, the really difficult pieces in here and i want to say thank you for telling the story, which i had only recently learned about, but i think being a witness to hert story is so

at that did that, but i could've easily, for instance, during the great depression when franklin delano are real roosevelt is creating a whole series of programs, one of the things that you see happening there is that the southern democrats are saying, yes, really do need relief. we need relief and funding and support, we need social security , but black people can't have that so you can create this whole new deal of programs but you have to exclude african-americans. i could have talked about that, but at a crunch piece of time. >> really just wanted to thank you so much for this work. it's incredibly profound and the things in here that you cited that i was completely unaware of that the state of mississippi didn't ratify the 13th amendment until 2013. >> yes, the state of mississippi finally got around to ratifying the 13th amendment which abolished slavery in 2013. they said it was an oversight. >> so there are really difficult pieces in here. thank you for telling the story, which i had only recently learned about but i think being a witness to her story is so important and so powe

in fact, there's a very famous meeting between franklin delano roosevelt in 1945 in world war ii and the king of saudi arabia and basically fdr said, not in these exact words, you the king can go about doing what you want inside your own country, we are not going to get involved until you have to rule internally but we're going to make sure you don't getoverthrown . and as long as you allow, keep allowing western oil companies to come in here and make a lot of money and to export cheap saudi oil, we're going to guarantee your security so when you think of saudi arabia, think of a family, a saudi family and how that kingdom has been passed down from founder tucson tucson and now there's the lastremaining son that can basically get out of bed, they're going to have to figure out a succession after that but were it not for the us , this kingdom would not exist. this one family, the saudi family would not be today among the family of nations because it is not a modern nation in the sense of how we are supposed to govern these days and it was important i think to look at those lives to ge

compared it to the detention of japanese americans, germans, and italians under president franklin delanooosevelt during world war ii. mr. trump: what i'm doing is no different than what fdr -- fdr solution for germans, italians, japanese, you know, many years -- >> your four interment camps? mr. trump: this is a president highly respected by all. he did the same thing. if you look at what he was doing, it was far worse. he was talking about the germans because we are at war. we are now at war. amy: congressman honda, can you respond to donald trump explicitly citing japanese internment camps as a possible model? >> well, the reason that we came hr 442ugh the process of , president reagan signed it, the japanese american committed he had fought for virginia's, stated there are three reasons why the camps occurred. racial profiling, war hysteria, and the failure of political leadership. basically, what the president-elect is saying could be -- in my opinion, would be a failure of political leadership not only based upon ignorance -- it would not even be ignorance because he already knows a

this is the third grade effort to breakout of franklin delano roosevelt model. 1980 was the first one. heritage played an absolutely decisive role in the run-up to that election in the administration. the mandate for leadership remains today the best single pre-election development and policy ever done. with over 2000 recommendations policyh over 60% became and with over 250 volunteers around the country based on their expertise, most of whom ended up and lamenting the chapters they wrote. so they walked in with a real understanding of what they wanted to do. in 1992, heritage helped with america.act with i think it is fair to say as we developed ideas over that time, the balance i just, the only balanced budget in our lifetime, the close work with heritage. again in again, the whole concept of the contract drew much of the strength from working with deep foundation. today, i think your ditches a key source for the trans-pence team for their ideas and for -- team and for-pence their ideas. i was thrilled to be asked to share some ideas with you. i have five key messages i want to go t

the new challenges, we're going to relive in some form december 7, 1941, in the words of franklin delano roosevelt, a day that will live in infamy. so i ask my colleagues to vote for this ndaa. we have had the input from literally every member of this body, i'm happy to say. i hope they'll vote for this legislation. but i also, when they do, recognize that unless we fund these programs, unless we fund these reforms, unless we provide the sufficient funding, then they are not going to be able to carry out their mission in the mosten effective fashion. and so i say to my colleagues vote for this. vote for this. but do not vote for another continuing resolution which will harm the ability of us and the men and women who are serving and their leaders to defend this nation. it's a heavy responsibility to take on when you vote for the continuing resolution, because that doesn't get -- allow the pentagon to move money around. it's an overall cut of many billions of dollars at a time when any observer will tell you there's more challenges to our national security than any time since december 7,

this is the third great effort to break out of the franklin delano roosevelt model. heritage played an absolutely decisive role, both in the run-up to that election and the actual administration. the mandate leadership remains today, the best single pre-election development of policy ever done with over 2000 recommendations, of which over 60% became policy and with over 250 volunteers around the country, most of whom ended up implementing the chapters they wrote so they walked in with a , real understanding of what they needed to do. 1994, heritage helped with the contract with america and i , think it is fair to say as we developed ideas, the only talent -- balanced budgets in your lifetime was developed with close work with heritage. welfare reform was developed with close work with heritage. again and again the whole , concept of the contract through its strength with help from heritage. today, i think heritage is a key source for the trump-pence team, for their ideas and what we need to get done. i was thrilled to be asked to come and share some ideas with you. i
