he was very close to frank and eleanor roosevelt and eleanor -- franklin delano roosevelt and eleanor roosevelt. franklin roosevelt was really important to getting projects with the navy. henry kaiser had a plant for small aircraft carriers that the navy didn't want, but fdr said that sounded like a good idea, and they built them and they were very successful. eleanor roosevelt was trusted with the homefront stuff, entrusted with how women were treated, childcare, health care. here is a photograph of her at a ship launching in the northwest. visiting the hospital. she was really impressed with the health care offered in the hospital for the workers. so she corresponded with the founding physician, sidney garfield. she was interested in the details of the health plan. he wrote back, saying, here is how it works. here's the benefits. here's what we learned. there was a close relationship between washington and the shipyards, because this was all federal money. they had to make washington happy, but also kaiser wanted to make washington happy. this was a smart move. he genuinely supporte

i think thirdly, in our century, franklin delano roosevelt was a great leader. he was not a member of my party, but i can admire the ability he had to fulfill that requisite of leadership of which i spoke a moment ago, the ability to inspire confidence in a weary nation that had almost lost faith in itself. he came along and said that we have nothing to fear but. -- but fear itself and went on to recommend in a germanic way a series of policies that enabled us to overcome some of the effects of the depression. at least as i look at our country, and you can go to european and world history and pick out other great leaders, but those are three great american leaders that i would admire. >> i would like to come back to part of that in a minute, if i may. the relationship of the qualities that you mentioned about washington, lincoln, and fdr, what decisions have you made in the past that would best reflect your reflect -- effectiveness as a leader that example files those kinds of qualities? john anderson: i have to be a little self-serving at this point but you hav

franklin delano roosevelt. in germany in 1930 they have reichstag elections and adolf hitler's nazi's rise from 12 delegates and the reichstag to 107. they are the second biggest party in germany, and the capacity that they have for creating mischief now is immense. so everything has changed. acted in -- back against 1932, germany, the nationalist no longer like von hindenburg that he is all that is holding this republic together. he is the glue that is holding this republic together, even though he doesn't like republics. he doesn't like democracies do the people who opposed him in 1925, the social democrats and the catholic parties were sort of a centerleft party, they supporting. everyone has changed partners because he's going to be the guy to stop hitler and the nazis. what happens is that the germans vote in march of that year, and it's a four-man race essentially. there's hindenburg, there's adolf hitler who has become a german citizen by the fact that he has received a minor government appointment from

day, netting 45, when the aircraft carrier was dedicated in the name of franklin delano roosevelt, the new presidential flag was voiced it and shown to the public for the first time. i always had some feeling of pleasure about this. hundreds of men and women live and work in the white house and can work their hearts out, that presidential, netting 45, when the aircraft carrier was dedicated in the name of franklin delano assistants do nt leave anything behind to show what they did. that was the one thing that i left behind that survived. the same flag today exists, changed only by the addition of stars for hawaii and alaska. every time you see the president of the united states on television, you see him behind a lectern and there is the seal of the president which i would like to refer to as my seal. >> george, you also change the eagle. tell us why that happened. >> my colleague who was an expert on heraldry said there is one thing we have got to change. it's been a discouragement since the 1880's when summary had the idea that in order to change the presidential seal from a seal of

and, yes, franklin delano roosevelt, whether we agree with what he did now, what he did to persuade the people in the country in a time of great distress and depression, to support him in the programs that he was taking forward. he was a great war leader. >> what i would like to do now is take this idea of leadership and have you apply it to your role as a leader when you were governor. what kinds of decisions did you make in the past which indicate your effectiveness as a leader? ronald reagan: i came into the governorship quite a strange time in california. our campuses were scenes of rioting in the roaring 60's. we were talking long, hot summers in our cities because of the racial violence. economically, the state of california was in the same condition as the federal government is today. it was spending far more than it was taking in each day. it was on the verge of bankruptcy. it had a bureaucracy that i grown 75% over the preceding eight years. we were the welfare capital of the world with a welfare note -- welfare load that was increasing at an average of 40,000 people a month. t

now the truth is that franklin delano roosevelt, harry truman, you know what they believed in? they believed that health care should be available to all of our people. i'm on the committee that wrote the affordable care act. i made the affordable care act along with jim clyburn a better piece of legislation. i voted for it. but right now what we have to deal with is the fact that 29 million people still have no health insurance. we are paying the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs. getting ripped off. and here's the important point. we are spending far more per people of any other country. my proposal, provide health care to all people, get private insurance out of health insurance, lower the cost of health care for middle class families by 5,000 bucks. that's the vision we need to take. >> you know, i have to say i'm not sure whether we're talking about the plan you just introduced tonight or we're talking about the plan you introduced nine times in the congress. but the fact is, we have the affordable care act. that is one of the greatest accomplishments of pr

franklin delano roosevelt sensed that would not be the case.he concedes that america would inevitably be drawn into this conflict. in addressing congress, f.d.r. proposed to make america the -- quote -- "arsenal of democracy." he also urged congress to create a new lend/lease program enabling our historic ally, great britain, and theirilize to withstand the assault of nazi germany and imperial japan. he did something else. f.d.r. knew that in order for the nation to face world war ii, america needed to know not just what they would be fighting against but what they would be fighting for. and so in some of the darkest days of world wa world war ii, f hitler vowing to impose a new order on europe at gunpoint, franklin roosevelt spoke of a moral order founded on four essential human freedoms that would be the right of every person everywhere. those four freedoms: the freedom of speech, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want, and the freedom from fear. norman rockwell was an amazing american he was a great illustrator. it was interesting tha

franklin delano roosevelt. he was able to persuade the people of his country in a time of great distress and great depression to support him in the programs that he was taking forward and he was a great warrior. >> what i would like to do now is take this idea of leadership and have you applied it to your role as a leader when your governor and what kind of decisions you made in the past two indicate your effectiveness as a leader. >> i came into the governorship at quite a strange time in california. were arriving in the roaring 1960's. we were talking long, hot summers in our cities because of the racial violence but economically, the state of california was in the same condition the federal government was today. it was on the verge of bankruptcy. it had a bureaucracy that had grown 75% over the preceding eight years. we were the welfare capital of the world with a welfare load increasing at 40,000 people a month. as governor, i found the constitution prohibited deficit spending. i had to do everything i have

we know the survival to the vision of the man at whose library we are visiting, franklin delano roosevelt. roosevelt almost single-handedly brought this organization into existence. he had kept the idea of a live boy world security body for three decades following his the woodrow wilson administration under the secretary of navy and was a big component in the league of nations. the security nation for the world was his most important legacy. the thing he care the most deeply about. he first enunciated principles by which it would come into being. in his famous 1941 speech, putting forth the 4 freedoms, freedom of speech, worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear. people "everywhere in the world" should enjoy. he askedmultaneously his own state department in secret to draft a charter for a u.n. and united nations organization. ifwas very careful because anyone knew we were involved in that it such a charter might defeat the whole idea. it began in 1938 and 1939, when he gave that division to the state department. the two closest wartime allies where winston churchill of great britai

his limitless power of expression served as a great leader. ,> thirdly, in our century frank delano roosevelt was a great leader. he was not a member of my party but i can admire the ability that he had to fulfill that requisite of leadership of which i spoke a moment ago. the ability to inspire confidence in a weary nation that had almost lost faith in itself. he came along it said we had nothing to fear but fear itself in then went on to recommend a dramatic way a series of policies that enabled us to overcome the policies and some of the effects of the depression. you could go to european and world history and pick out other great world leaders but those are three great american leaders that i would admire. entire interview and others with ronald reagan, george herbert walker bush and others this sunday on the road to the right -- road to the white house rewind on c-span3's american history tv. i have been watching the campaign, it is far more interesting to look at the republicans than the democrat side. that may have some thing to do with why there is more interest in these candidates an

and actually, even going back a little further e franklin delano roosevelt jr. at one time was considered a viable candidate for the presidency, but he did not end up run, and it's hard to track down why, but one of the theories is that he was born in nova scotia at one of the family homes outside of the united states. >> and the romney case i don't think is terribly significant. he was born in mexico to american parents, but he never actually even ran in a primary. he dropped out of race before he got votes. but ted cruz's case has some unique components. only one of his parents was an american citizen. i think in the other case, certainly in the mccain case, both of parents were american citizens. mccain was born on arguably u.s. territory because it was a military installation in panama. ted cruz was born in canada, and there's another element to cruz that doesn't exist in any of the other case, which is ted cruz is the only one of these people who actually had a citizenship other than united states citizenship. he actually had canadian citizenship. >> yes. i

the democratic party since franklin delano roosevelt has stood for universal health care.nd senator sanders is advocating for universal health care for every american as a right. secretary clinton apparently no longer supports that. you know what happened in 2008 when she rather viciously attacked senator obama saying that attacking another democrat on the issue of supporting universal health care undermined core democratic values. those are her words. and gave aid and comfort to the very special interests and their allies in the republican party, also her words, who want to defeat universal health care. >> so what about this? the argument that if you go back and open up health care-u opening a pandora's box. particularly if you had a republican senate in congress and president bernie sanders comes to a republican senate in congress and says let's do a health care bill that the net effect of that would be net destructive. that doesn't strike me as a crazy argument. >> well, it is crazy and it's crazy for this reason. senator sanders has been a strong advocate for universal

now, the truth is, that fran franklin delano roosevelt and harry truman believed that health care should be available to everybody. i was on the committee that made the affordable care act. i made it along with jim clyburn a better piece of legislation. >> we saw a slow move up. what did you haer at that time from the focus group? >> it was a consistent pattern starting from the beginning. that is senator sanders' message, it is very populist, it kind of speaks to the economic anxiety that a lot of voters across the country but particularly here in south carolina, at least in this group, felt. when he was talking about health care -- this is when i think some of the challenges that you face in debates. in terms of how voters are going to respond, they're not going to microanalyze the merits of a policy in a debate. they're responding to the emotion of the message. sanders comes in with this big picture vision and it resonates. it is not to say that senator clinton, secretary clinton, wasn't effective. the problem is it's hard to compete against that bigger message, bigger vision if you'r

libraries, the practice of creating a presidential library began decades ago with president franklin delano roosevelt. and the tradition has carried on through every president since that time and it will continue. presidential libraries have become increasingly more expensive as they've involved into multipurpose centeres that do more in an simply house presidential records. for example, the william clinton president cost $365 million while the president bush center cost an estimated $250 million to build with president bush having raised approximately half a billion dollars from his library museum and institute and we can expect with each new president these libraries are going to cost more. that's just natural. under current law, there is no requirement to disclose the identities of those who donate to a presidential library, and a president is able to secure an unlimited president of private donations while still in office. the bill before us would make a simple but very important change in existing law. under this bill organizations that raise moneys to build presidential libraries would be requi
