does that mean the eleanor wanted, after, the eleanor tried to change fdr's mind on this? no. get eleanor have alcohol served in the white house? yes. as maureen beasley told before anybody else did, her friends -- she was the first person to announce that the white house was going to serve 3.2% beer. so what she is very, and she drank. she loved a good -- sort of scary what you know about people. she was painfully personally aware of how alcohol could exacerbate human frailty. and so she will write columns later on, you know, moderation and a question and answer columns, should my daughter drink, should my something. she's not saying don't drink. she's just saying be careful, watch what it does, and don't fall in love with a bottle. does that answer your question? [inaudible] >> no. no, no, no. pay, and, yes. >> you mentioned a couple of times the midpoint of going about eleanor roosevelt wasn't perfect so i was wondering if you could elaborate on what you about some of her flaws were. thank you. [laughter] >> you know, you're supposed to be my friend. there's sometimes when

and the star was eleanor roosevelt. so eleanor continued to help theremin and thurmond was less needy perhaps then rudy black and got help from eleanor but not in such an -- after eleanor left washington, following franklin's death in 1945, must be remembered. i have here at lenore's earnings in the white house years. this is based on study of income tax returns available in the hyde park library and it showed from the years 1937 to 1939 she averaged annual earnings of $62,000, a lot of money in those days, 68,000 before expenses. and they never wrote about eleanor. and enhance yourself. they covered up that kind of thing because they did feel somewhat grateful to her for allowing them to come to the white house every week. it was made craig, the one wy c first asked men be allowed in the pushed for the civil-rights activist for end to sex discrimination and forced news organizations to hire women on an equitable basis. in 1964, 81-year-old howard w. smith, a conservative virginia congressman, major civil rights legisla

she is a political advisor and more like eleanor and hillary. abigail can be out a little more because women are voting. now there is a balanced ticket strategy. you have franklin and eleanor, and he appeals to the moderates, and he says, i cannot control her. silently he is saying, you go, girl, because this is to for the price of one. she is appealing to voters. you have jerry in the middle. betty ford energizes them and bill and hillary. >> i think that is basically true. before that you had individual women. in lincoln's circle one was credited with the campaign, and she was recognized as someone in that position. when the war was over and she tried to get compensated by congress she failed. >> the timing of some of these things and the second wave of feminism in the 70s and all that, who is the first election, who is the vice presidential candidate? this new phenomenon of women voting, how is that going to play out? franklin also put the first woman in his cabinet, frances perkins. this is the 19th amendment thing. we are not yet talking ab

. >> let me pick that up for you, eleanor. okay, lessons from vietnam. 501 51 years ago the u.s. intervened -- 51 years ago the u.s. intervened in the civil war in south vietnam. more than 58,000 americans died in the war. the scale of this loss spawned a massive anti-war movement and deeply divided public opinion. in 1973 former president nixon wrote the power peace accords where the security was turned over to the army of the republic of vietnam under a program dubbed vietnamizeation. in 1975 the south vietnamese capital of saigon fell to the north and vietnam was united under a communist government. 20 years alert the u.s. and communist vietnam -- later the u.s. and communist vietnam reestablished relations. today vietnam competes with china as a source of u.s. manufacturerring and it is a major tourist -- manufacturing and it is a major tourist destination for americans. >> question, one of the lessons for intervention in places like afghanistan and syria from vietnam? i ask you, david. >> you saw the letter from the chairman of the joint chiefs explaining why there were opti

she's more like eleanor and hillary. but eleanor and hillary can be out abigaillesser because women are voting. now there's a new strategy. we have franklin and eleanor and he appeals to the moderate's and she appeals to the crusaders. he yucks it up and says i can't control her. silently he's saying, you go girl. actually this is two for the price of one. she's out appealing to voters. you can have jerry appealing to the middle and there used to be little and moderate. that feature of out there like that and having slightly balanced ticks this way,óyx very much a post 19th amendment. >> that's basically true. before that, certainly had individual women who had tremendous influence that people recognize. in lincoln's inner circle there was anna who was credited for creating the tennessee campaign. she was recognized at the time as someone who was in that position. because the union was in sufficient -- such terrible shape, people didn't mind. when the war was over and she tried to get compensated from congress, she faile

i seen her kind of an eleanor roosevelt 100 years before eleanor. which is why so often seen as unpopular person. i found her absolutely inspiring. >> myra? >> well, okay. well, i always admired lady bird johnson, i will always be in debt to nancy smith who is in the audience today who helped me to learn about her at the johnson library. i admire mrs. johnson, she was the first first lady that i interviewed in my work. i was asking her questions and i was scared to death. she could not have been nicer. when i would finish a conversion she would say to me, now myra, you would probably know that. she knew better than what me, what i was asking. my admiration for her knows no bounds because it's something she did in 1964 and that was she got on a train in alexandria, virginia, she rode it down to new orleans during the presidential campaign gave 47 speeches over the course of four days and descended the civil rights act. it really was a gutsy thing to do. she carried that fourth rightness and those guts into the way in which she dealt with project head

eleanor was callous during fdr's final years. jackie and jack were on their way to a solid unit -- union. it makes his assassination poignant and tragic. jackie was a much more serious and thoughtful public figure than the stylish ornaments that we often the picture as. nancy reagan was much more than .ealthy and high-fashion she nibbled her husband to function at maximum capacity. when his mental powers slept, she brought him -- slept -- comfort.he brought him she was a woman of greater political skill that her husband. she never forgot a slight. she endowed george bush with his greatest political asset. barbara raised those kids. he was an assateague father. absentee father. thesee most part, marriages have played a constructive role. it has been only wives. i'm here to tell you that, before the end of our tenure here, we will see first gentleman. it shall be interesting to see how he deals with these problems. needs a strong partner other than the american president. sheltered and conclude as he is. is.ocooned as he bringpresi

and if he wants to do it like eleanor said there are plenty of things he can do. he can reduce hundreds to thousands of nuclear weapons. he can take tactical weapons out of europe. do we really need three different ways to destroy the world. maybe we could just go down to two. >> right. yeah. and he has the backing of the military and the establishment of both parties, former republican leaders. it doesn't make sense to have all of these weapons roaming around that are -- they're very expensive to maintain, 60 or $70 million a year. >> god givepolitical@cover. there's no doubt if he did it wod be lot of politil tax on that. >> both bushes did it. i don't remember y attacks th. >> he's in a very different position than either president bush, so i think that's his motivation. >> is there any possibility that the nuclear weapons could >> in terms oflikechemical warfarex things like that? >> no, they are obsolete. >> no, i don't mean obsolete in the sense that they're dated. i mean that they lose their capacity to work. >> no, they are. the tactical nuclear weapons in

but you made a great point, eleanor, about -- that these movies are catering to international sales. what do we do about trying to get women more powerful in their roles more representative in movies made for american audiences? >> that's really where we have to work. women want stories the decline of the novel, decline of storytelling does not help women. you look where the great movies are. they're not action movies, they are the -- over and over again, tcm, and people want to see them over and over again. if we make those stories, they may not be about women we take the risk and this risk-based economy of making some of those great stories from the 21st century, we will bring -- team the rest of the world that there is more to american films than jumping out of skyscrapers and surviving. >> exactly. behind the headlines. a very different issue, poverty in the suburbs. poverty used to be seen as a primarily rural and urban issue. but it's becoming more of a suburban problem and actually rose in america's suburbs by 64% in the last decade. elizabeth kneebone, author of confronting s

. >> eleanor. >> egypt is key in keeping the peace with israel. for starters, israel being a key ally. and an important region in the world. we are not as dependent for oil, but we still need to be a major player there. and the phrase that i latched on to is people's cue. there were millions of people in the streets. more than 22 million people signed a petition wanting morsi out of power. that's more than a quarter of the country. the alternative to the military stepping in would have been rule. they were ready to storm the palace. i see this as a temporary takeover by the military. i think they are saying mostly the right things. the firing obviously, on the morsi protest was very bad. but they need to reach out and include the muslim brotherhood in whatever government evolved. otherwise you drive them under ground, force them to become violent and you will never get a kind of stable inclusive government. i don't see this as a negative step at all. i think this is a step towards an evolving democracy and a very important country. >> that's very

also eleanor odom, prosecutor. welcome to you. in stanford, florida, where the trial is takes place we have sunny hostin. now the trial is back. so we listen. >> -- toxicology purposes, in this case you're saying was not available through a peripheral source? >> in this case, i don't remember. but generally speaking, we should get blood from peripheral if there is one. >> okay. >> in this case i do not believe there is one. >> do you do that yourself? are you the one that draws the blood for that purpose? >> i never draw blood. >> so in this case, who drew the blood that was submitted as part of the toxicology -- >> objection, your honor. >> when there's an objection you can't answer until i make a ruling. thank you. the court has made a pretrial determination, and i'm asking counsel so make sure you abide by that. >> certainly. do you know who drew the blood? >> i believe it's ben dalton. >> he was the hands-on guy, correct? in terms of assisting with the -- >> yes. >> whereas ms. feller was the clean hands? >> yes, yes. >> it ma

i did not explore eleanor roosevelt's role in this book. i mention her several times. hair relationship was really after pearl harbor. my book ends with pearl harbor. i talk about what happened briefly to everyone and it stops at pearl harbor. second question, very good question, what role did germany have in the hole isolationist movement. almost none. the germans were very aware that even though the country was isolationist early on, most americans were very anti german, very anti nazi and they knew the more overt help they gave, it would backfire. so they tried very hard to stay out of the public eye in terms of isolationists. they obviously were pulling for the isolationists because they wanted to stay out of the war but everytime they tried to do something it backfired. they had one of the most inept organizations, the british were incredibly good at what they were doing, spying, sabotaging, etc. they also sent agents to the u.s. but inevitably they would be caught and the germans sent cable after cable saying you have done it again. these guys keep getting arrest

. >> and joining us now is congresswoman eleanor holmes norton, a delegate who represents washington,od afternoon, ma'am. >> good afternoon, martin. >> eugene robinson in today's "washington post" said that he did not think the president was the best person to lead a discussion following the tragedy of trayvon martin's death, and yet, with almost everyone at every level of politics and culture offering an opinion, was this moment not crying out for a contribution from the president himself? >> and i think you said the operative word, martin, contribution. maybe he shouldn't lead it. maybe we in congress should lead it. we're going to try to do that having a hear of our newly established commission on black men and boys first hearing next wednesday, 3:00 to 5:00 in rayburn. isn't that timely? just like the president's comments were timely, and i think necessary, there's a lot of energy that needs to be channeled. there's a lot of explanation that needs to be done. now, the attorney general has done some of that. but the president touched every important base from the context, how impor

. >>> airport commissioner eleanor johns said that pilots rely heavily on automatic guided landings, and lack the skills to land manually. when two store security guas tried to stop him, the suspt shot one guard in the shoulder... then ran away. more than two-million dolla worth of pot... was seized santa cruz county over the weekend. >>> more than $2 million worth of pot was sized in santa cruz county over are the weekend. jake reiner on what led to the discovery, and why smugglers may have chosen that particular spot. >> reporter: it's an unmarked beach, typically only santa cruz locals know about just beyond highway 1s, and that's why shark tooth beach is now the scene of a major drug bust on the west coast. a lifeguard found a boat over here by the shoreline filled with almost 1200 pounds of marijuana that, an estimated value of $2.1 million. 175 bundles of marijuana inside the boat, to be exact. that's when local law enforcement agencies stepped in and arrested these four people. all were are booked in the santa cruz county jail. smugglers have gotten smoother with moving large

eleanor roosevelt, the sanctity eleanor, was pilloried for that and was forced to give up the job. she never again had a similar mistake. she, too, as hillary, was forced to realize that her role in roosevelt's presidency was as the unofficial moral center of the administration. in the white house, the president and first lady are equal for the first time he does the first lady is as prestigious and as revered a title as the president. we have as many stories of the first lady as we do of the president. like it or not, the president has to accept his wife's stature. jackie kennedy -- jack kennedy was a macho man. he was startled by the impact of his young life -- wife, she was 31. women suddenly wanted to be jackie. they started dressing like jackie. everybody started learning french. john glenn was able bureau -- folk hero. everyone started taking up water skiing some, to the apparel. -- thier peril. john kennedy had a steep learning curve. they can to do a big feature him and asked to speak to jackie. president kennedy was dismissive of that. by the time he reached the famous sta

. >> airport commissioner eleanor john says that asiana pilots appear to rely heavily on instrument guided landings and lack the training to touch down manually. >>> police are looking for suspects in connection with a shooting in san francisco. within person was shot just before 7 p.m. last night at geary and 29th avenue. investigators say it happened after the victim got into an argument with at least two men in another car. the car had two bullet holes and a shattered window. the victim was rushed to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. >>> police in hayward are looking for a shoplifter who shot at two security guards at a home depot. one guard was show the and another pistol-whipped around noon at the store on hesperian boulevard. police say the guards approached the man after seeing him try to steal a carful of tools. the suspect ran off after the attack. one guard was shot in the shoulder. >>> more than $2 million of pot was discovered on a boat in santa cruz. what led to the discovery and why smugglers may have chosen a particular spot to reach land. >> reporter: it's an unmar

what did you think, eleanor? >> i was a little bit surprised. usually judges will let the defense attorney answer for their client and not press the defendant right away. she really wanted to get an answer. do you intend to testify? what is your intent? a defendant can always change his mind. which is the beauty of that. what do you intend to do right now and do you need some time to talk to your attorney about that. so she was giving him that opportunity but she wanted to know. >> why did she get upset, do you think? >> i think don west has this persistent problem of not knowing when to stop. not knowing when enough is enough. he objected. she overruled. and he kept making the same objection. he had made it for the record. he didn't need to continue on. and he aggravated the court. >> she said it is overruled, right? she kept going. now the question is, what -- does george zimmerman for his defense, does he need to testify? we just saw a witness on the stand that a lot of observers will say hurt the defense. and was obviously answering a lot of

sort of territory even before these clashes took place but the second largest is in this part of the eleanor party has already withdrawn from talks discussions to form a new government how do you think this is going. to affect things i mean are talks completely breaking down or is this still salvageable i think there's still hope i think that obviously going to get what we're going to see this week we're going to get more demonstrations counter-demonstration a small one it's not right and it all depends on whether some kind of political solution and the economic opportunity lucio what this is all asleep and said political debate needs to go on but the fact is the economy is getting worse millions of egyptians are starving virtually there i'm employed one in four young people are employed red cross the going up and it doesn't matter who is in power unless the economic problems we addressed urgently then these that this unrest will continue and any government that console these economic problems will get the support of the majority of people the trouble what morsi came into out with all these

any way eleanor -- >> wrong!ght. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: she wrote a peace called huma channels hilary. she spoke on her husband's behalf, and it was clear she was operating from the hilary play book. this is -- this is -- like a pop psychology extrordanaire around the country. but she -- and she talked the strategy worked for the clintons but after this latest press conference i'm pretty sure she has been stretched past the breaking point. back in '90s the country's stability along with the future of the democratic party hung in the balance. she writes weaner by contrast is running for mayor of new york city, not president of the united states. and she just writes for now it's painful to watch and probably politically futile too. and karl said the same thing it looks like he should drop out. >> i don't think he should. it's up to new york city whether they want him in there or not. >> stephanie: yeah. let's go to hack in wyoming -- wait, i didn't do that right. hack you are on the "stephanie miller show," wel

as eleanor roosevelt revealed -- realize, being hostess had real aning and value. the white house has a significant form of hospitality to representatives for other countries, and the limits of allies a government. throughout presidential campaigns, fdr's campaign, mrs. roosevelt played a self-effacing role. she told reporter that it was proper that it -- that a candidate's wife beyond schedule, offer no opinions, remain under disturbing, limit personal appearances, and make sure the people can see him. she also knew the value of the good photograph. besides her involvement in the ewernmt, a the bureaucratic report that she involved yourself in during the depression, she also posed at a soup kitchen, dishing out sue. there is no question that the photo carried a strong message. houseoutside of the white that a first lady involved yourself in also began to take on political meeting. beth truman, after attending an event that she had been invited to, was criticized because by a congressman because the dar had a restrictive policy, and had not allowed his wife to play

and then finally, we learned about eleanor holmes norton involved with jeff someson that never been revealed before. where he as i viewed her in terms of the tax object i tkpwaeugsz that she had she wrote check for $25,000. and i talked to her she said check was written to the dc government. to save sat obligation but, we she said pay him for any service but her object tpweu gazing financial object tpwhreu far greater than 5,000. and in 1990 because she pay federal taxes that not paid in interest. so, every one was political people, lots of layers. yes unfortunately we don't have lot of time. i want to ask you really quickly. but big battle in wal-mart, between wal-mart and dc city council you know, very past week said he felt wal-mart trying hold the district. what's your take on what might happen here. i think, that political cover, will be extended that mayor will veto this bill. and thus, wal-mart will be able to go through and eight people voted with organized labor including jackie vans and surprise will say look i was with you. so every one wins. all right. mark. as always, good see y

is there anything -- franklin and eleanor roosevelt. >> i think the doris kearns goodwin took -- book is very telling. it is wonderfully documented. it feeling like they were ships passing in the night. there would be times when he would reach out to her, and she was unavailable to him, and when she would reach out to him, and he was unavailable to her. it was a complicated relationship, to put it mildly. politically, i agree completely. i think there are times when she was out there beyond where he wanted her to be, but she had passionate views. advocacy, she also very much -- he was very clear on this -- served as his eyes and ears. she could be out there, and he could not. role.as a very useful >> when you talk about women in the white house, sometimes, you're talking about other women -- the doris kearns goodwin book -- you say, well the president and unburden himself to their spouses and share secrets -- not all secrets apparently. that?servations on >> on the other woman? she should go away. [laughter] >> i was going to add one thing on eleanor and franklin when it comes to the

. >> eleanor goodwin visits her son as often as possible. >> you know this here is hurting my back side>> she's joined by her family's minister, loretta freeman. >> i kept telling your mom, she will not bury you in penitentiary that's what the lord told me. >> doesn't he answer my prayers? >> yes, he does. he was little, don't pray for me. >> i used to always say that. i'm going to pray for you. don't -- please, mom, pray for me. >> i look and see how much hurt she got in her face and how much pain she's going through. and sometimes it's hard to look at her. >> your precious holy name i pray, amen. >> if i get convicted, she feels she will lose another child. >> my god, i love you so much. >> i love you too, mom. >> coming up, tony goodwin is called back to court. this time, to hear from the jury. and -- >> he says, don't make me put my hands on you and show you how my hands can be. >> lorraine green accuses an officer of misconduct. something completely different. i met a turtle friend today so, you don't get that very often. it seemed like it was more than happy to have us in his home

created a word document and i took all the diaries and sources i could find in any reference from eleanor roosevelt and the usual suspects and i called the word document booze. i realized his drinking was just off the charts. from morning to night. wine and champagne. he brags he had a bottle of champagne with every meal for seven years. a dozen cigars per day and brandy at night and occasionally he got a little sloppy and brooks certainly mentions that in his diaries. he attended the horrible meeting with the pm today who apparently had a good lunch. [laughter] >> and a good wreck -fest. >> isenhour walked in on him one day and it was breakfast time and churchill was in bed with a bottle of white wine. churchill said i don't like powdered milk. [laughter] so he drank a lot but he wasn't a force yeltsin both in. it was something miraculous and i wonder if some reporter tried to do a story on that and thought while i will drink like churchill for a week or two and we'll see how it goes. not going to happen. >> yes, sir.

>> eleanor roosevelt. she's in a league of her own.ident she's a child of eleanor roosevelt. broke out of the box, she stood on her own two feet and inspired women, minorities around the country, was brave. opened up a whole array of social issues to her husband and she's a powerhouse in her own right and lady bird johnson with her beautification campaign and billboards and clean air and water and rivers and going with steward udall and kind of making american beaufication such a principle part of her time. i'm also big on nancy reagan for helping ronald reagan so much. he was codependent on her. if she left for an hour he would mope waiting for her to come back. i missed you nancy. they were the great love story of presidents. >> isn't that something. it's a tough, tough job and your heart aches -- >> tough decision. >> so much. i mean, just a silent -- you got a sense that she wasn't even comfortable in the public spotlight and had to go through so much with her husband. >> these are people who -- two people who met each other right

eleanor nathan was denied parole this month. nathan was originally convicted back in 1983 of first degree murder and 33 counts of child abuse. prosecutors say she ran an unlicensed day care center in clayton and would take in up to 30 children at a time. nathan will be up for parole once again in five years. >>> this morning investigators are trying to figure out what went wrong during paragliding accident that killed a man. firefighters say the paraglider had just taken off at lime ridge open space near walnut creek. his glider collapsed and he crashed into a cliff. a chp helicopter was able to bring the man down to the valley floor. he was rushed to the hospital but did not survive his injuries. >>> investigators are still collecting evidence in the massive explosion that injured dozens of people at a southern california fireworks show. it happened when a platform holding the explosives gave way, sending exploding fireworks into the crowd. 41 people were hurt in the blast. some of the injuries had burns and shrapnel wounds whi

eleanor roosevelt, different.ven to an extent, roslyn carter at the beginning of her, the carter administration, tried to get in on cabinet meetings, tried to be a little more active in policy. that didn't fly too well, either. >> we're looking at the former first ladies and the one that stands out because she may well be the future is hillary clinton there. joan, last question to you. what would be the role of a first -- what would we call them? first gentleman? >> first gentleman. first spouse. we might have to make a gender neutral for a while now that we're going to have women presidents, chris. you know, i think it would be different if it was bill clinton, i don't think it would be a quiet domestic role for sure. he would be an interesting person to start -- >> i don't think he'll limit himself to one issue. that was a joke. thank you, joan walsh and ron reagan. thanks, buddy. we'll be right back after this. >>> let me finish tonight with the life and career of william gray. he was elected u.s. congressman f

eleanor holmes norton and other female members of congress, i should emphasize because it's female members who put the issue on the table, really changed the law. one of the words you'll hear is a hostile work environment, which is a big difference from sometimes what you used to hear, which is were you physically touched or intimidated or were you forced into exchanging, you know, some inappropriate acts at work? they've broadened that, and many of the allegations against mayor filner here, as we wait to see if he's going to come back out to finish the press conference that he began where he's announcing going into therapy but did not announce any resignation to date. a lot of these allegations are at that outer level. you can win a court case nowadays under the law by saying you were simply inappropriately spoken to in certain instances or inappropriate suggestions and unwanted advances made repeatedly, even without coercive touching. in this case, we emphasize as we see the doors opening up to the press conference here. he admitted being intimidating. let's take a listen to part two. >>

19th century generals that we have had the last 40 years, general mabus congenital petraeus, general eleanor general mike cresco are not writing within the army bureaucracy kidding if we are not right now using their talent and military context reasons other than the battlefield efficacy. jaish delete couldn't show discretion but whatever it was we didn't maintain the use of the talent at the time that we really needed them and that scares me because i think that there has to be room in the military's. especially for the 21st century for the eccentricity the contrariness of and for the general. >> host: tell me a little bit more about how that kind of independence of determination is cultivated in these careers to the we've had the privilege of working with general petraeus and have seen him do as he says and giving the clear vision presenting the idea of what is that he believes needs to be accomplished and the vision of how to do it. but also, the vision of independence and that it's something that should be tolerated within a military force. >> i think for all of us at some point in our c
