eleanor answers this way. "my dear lady, it just happened that the soldier who went to see his dog was due for a furlough and someone made a good newspaper story out of it. i am sure that no man would be given a furlough unless he was entitled to it and he was allowed to leave at that particular time. the paramount consideration in granting any furloughs is the need of the military services, not the pleasure of the individual involved." the next one comes from a worried citizen. this citizen is worried about his money. "what assurance have people that defense bonds are safe? under weak and unsound leadership, the bonds might not be redeemable later." eleanor says, "you must have faith in your own ability and that of the rest of the country to choose sound leadership. there is nothing else you can rely upon except the judgment of the people as a whole to make your government efficient. incidentally, if u.s. bonds are not good, neither is anything else in the world. you might as well reconcile yourself to it." t

but eleanor is able to bridge that gap. paul: we will and with the thought that both of these men gave their lives and duty to the country. in both cases, there depth -- death in office created a residence with the american people. i think there is something missing in today's politics. both of these people truly believed in public service. they were raised with the sense that they had a duty and responsibility to serve the american people. they posted in extraordinary ways. i think john f. kennedy's inaugural address remains one of the best beaches of all time. -- best of all time. >> i have to agree and i have to say fdr and the events of his time as presidency shaped the nation, shaped that generation. in profound ways. even nixon is only three years older than kennedy. president herbert walker bush is only six years older than kennedy. world war ii shapes them and so many other kennedy sibling serve in the war either in the military or in civilian rules. i think president kennedy would have encouraged us, were he alive

and it's classic eleanor roosevelt, in its passive aggressive compliment criticism. the sort of tone of the letter is, you know, i was watching the debate last night with some friends and although i thought you did very well i thought i would share some of their comments with you. and interesting side note here one of the people she was watching the debate with was lloyd benson. you may remember many years later in a famous reference during the vice presidential debate i knew john kennedy. but one of the things she says is he came across as too confident and he needed to include the oddsiance more in his answers. it's a classic letter but to eleanor's credit she campaigned for him quite vigorously. and she did what she felt needed to be done for the democrats to win. at that point she felt it was vitally important. she had had repeated run-ins with eisenhower, completely disagreed with his policies and really felt it was important for a democrat to get in, and she hoped obviously to resurrect a new deal of policies she had supported so strongly when her husband was p

to eleanor's credit, she campaigned for him, quite vigorously. and she did what she felt it needed to be done for the democrats to win. at that point, she felt like it was a vitally important. she felt like she had repeated run-ins with as an, hour completely disagreed with his policies, and really felt like it was important for a democrat to get in. she obviously hoped to resurrect for some of the new deal policies that she had supported so strongly, with her husband. then, when kennedy gets elected, the first thing he does, he appoints roosevelt! >> yes! i think it is fascinating, not just for that campaign, but for the presidential campaigns at large. it is always an interesting challenge, particularly when kennedy is trying to frame himself a standing up for a new generation, right? we have new ideas, new energy. new, new, new. at the same time, he knows full well that if he does not win over the establishment, he is going nowhere. so we have to get eleanor's support, while at the same time, creating this image of trying to get young voters.

i love eleanor roosevelt, but she could hold a grudge, against his father, joe. i mean, she still resented the fact he had criticized fdr during the war and had supported germany over england and i think she never fully let go of that ax she liked to grind. >> right. >> but i do think a wonderful moment to their relationship and if you come here to visit eleanor's home up in valkill, pictures are on the wall after the convention when kennedy gets the democratic nomination. he knows he has to win her over. and he goes to visit her up in valkill. >> we have some of those photos in our library as well. yes. he has to go in-person to valkill to meet with her. again, she's enamored and a big supporter of adeline stephenson as being a very bright and capable candidate and she's worried not only about kennedy's relationship with mccarthy but his overall, his age and inexperience. she doesn't think he's got a strong enough record to run on. and it's only in-person that he's able to convince her. i think that's true to who kennedy was throughout his life. there's so much

he has to get eleanor's support. at the same time, creating this image of trying to get out young voters. i think that is fascinating. he had a really good sense of history. but some new ideas and energy. one of the things he gets from fdr is the importance of innovation and leadership. fdr did some innovative things. when i think about -- i'm going to go off on retreat and not talk to anybody and come back with this lend lease idea. that turns the war. president kennedy knew that you needed to take time to think about the bigger picture. you need to commit resources e-idea, it is not just money, it is political capital and you have to build up that political capital first. he pays very close attention to those relationships. i was intrigued to learn, on our day of infamy, november 20 second, 1963, the assassination, earlier that morning, he called to express birthday wishes to fdr's first vice president. who i believe was turning 93 or 95. a real student of history and a person who really pays attention to relations

if you come and visit eleanor's home. they have pictures up on the wall.er the convention when kennedy gets the democratic nomination, he knows he has to win her over and he goes to visit her up in val kill. >> we have some of those photos in our library as well. yes, he has to go in person to val killed to meet her. again she is enamored and a big supporter of at allied stevenson as being a very bright and capable candidate. she's worried not only about kennedy's relationship with mccarthy but his overall age and experience. she doesn't think she has a strong enough record to run on and it is only in person that he is able to convince her. i think that is true to who kennedy was throughout his life. there is so much evidence of once people mad, he was the one voted most likely to succeed. he want people over. he had a smile that was completely disarming and charming. i think that -- there is no amount of correspondence that is going to convey that. it has to be done in person. >> although eleanor roosevelt had some objections to jack kennedy, she hated ri

eleanor traveled, she was the great eleanor roosevelt.lonely, especially the last year of his life when his hail health was failing. he ran into lucy again and wanted to see her again and have her talk to him in the white house but the only way he could was to have his daughter, anna who was working in the white house when eleanor was away and arrange for the meetings. anna knew that it would be hard if her mother found out but on the other hand, she realized her father needed the companionship so she arranged for her to visit the white house. lucy happened to be in georgia when he died so as soon as she left, she would ask, tell me everything that happened. it's hard to imagine how she absorbed the news and her husband's death but luckily there were no press, she didn't have to be humiliated in front of the country, she just had to consume this in herself. her daughter anna was the one to make the visits possible, she must have felt she lost her daughter and her husband at the same time but i was sad when i heard that. i was delighted to

eleanor, forget that affair that happened so long ago and similarly with theodore roosevelt , while i have respect for his domestic policy and his persona, his views on war i have no respect for. he would say the victories of war or greater than the victories of peace at any moment and he had that romantic relation of war and i have a son who graduated from harvard college in june 2001 and was going to take a lost school, he volunteered for the army the next day and he was a platoon leader in baghdad and later got a bronze star and went back to afghanistan but importantly for this discussion he had written about his pieces on peter roosevelt and after he came back from combat he said he could never understand having been in combat anybody could romanticize combat so there were times when you just want to say to your guy stopped, what's the matterbut that's part of the glory of being a biographer . all human beings have their strengths and their weaknesses and it's up to us to really not forget the parts that are weak and bring it up but at the same time i could never choose somebody u

hoyer: eleanor holmes norton, the congresswoman who represents washington, d.c. del. norton: thank you, leader hoyer. i came here today to focus on one thing, and that is the bill that will be discussed monday, called delivering for america act, that would keep the postal service from making the changes the new leadership has already embarked upon -- thank you -- on level of service until january 1, 2020. leader hoyer announces that the postal service has already agreed. rep. hoyer: minutes ago. norton: minutes ago, he says, to postpone any changes in post office operations and levels of service until january 1, 2020. that is exactly what our bill says. i was not going to talk about any other part of the act except course, itt that, of takes time to get an act passed. now it looks like what we are seeing all over the country is is producing the desired effect, to keep the post office from leaving an indelible scar that would keep mail ballots perhaps from being counted. bear in mind that the united states held a successful election in the middle of a civil war. surely

lorena hickok had it bedroom next to eleanor. his sector live with the family in the white house and the great winston churchill came weeks at a time spent in the white house with roosevelt. when i was working on the book i became obsessed with the thought of all these people in the bathrooms at night in the corridor and what amazing conversations he must have had. wishing when it's up on on the second floor with lyndon johnson when i was 24 i thought of asking what a churchill sleep? what was roosevelt? of course i wasn't thinking in those terms then pick i mentioned this on on the dianew in washington and it happen hillary clinton senator whitehouse was listing. she. she probably caught up after me to station and invited me to sleep overnight in the white house. then we wandered the quarter to figure out where and when it slip. two weeks later to follow up with an invitation to a state internet with him, my husband and i went up there and figured yes, chelsea is looking for harry hopkins slip. the clintons are sleeping fdr was

led by first lady eleanor roosevelt, secretary of labor francis perkins, the first woman to serve in the cabinet, and head of the womens division of the democratic national committee, a womens network of high level appointees influence the social welfare policies of the new deal especially in the works progress administration and social security administration. women also took on larger roles in the revitalized democratic party. even though the results were far from achieving gender parody womens interests and issues might have been overlooked if not completely forgotten in the 1930s without the effective moebalization of the womens network. so the new deal i think truly was a break through for women in public life. many of these women were firsts in -- whose appointments were widely reported in the press, but unfortunately it proved difficult to ins tullize their progress. women found many opportunities during wartime in the 1940s than they had in the depression of the 1930s. and reminding those in positions of power that women could serve with distinction at the very highest levels

to recover from this pandemic and prepare for whatever else is next. >> eleanor? >> everybody so far is meeting the challenge of the moment. which to me is the whole allegory of this presidential race, of joe biden. and the fact that jill biden was the second lady for eight years in the obama/biden administration, and now we're seeing her emerge and tell her story, which seems so perfect for the times, and she's talking about all of the anxiety about people, what are they going to do with their children? can you send anyone to school? and the university of north carolina opened, then a week later they had to close. you get the feeling this is the promise of leadership, and if they take office, that the pandemic will be there for them to deal with. because it's not going away. and there's no national plan. and tonight, and last night, there was a lot about empathy of the bidens, and also it's about putting smart plans in place. and connecting that empathy to leadership and plans and science is the challenge of this campaign. it's not just about electing a nice guy.

and without an eleanor roosevelt, or mueller dusen to constantly press women's case, to often the jobs defaulted back to white men. but a major reason, i think, to remember the contributions that women made to the new deal is to situate the story of women wielding power as part of a much longer continuum. this stretches from the women's suffrage movement, actually from before the women's suffrage movement, through the new deal, all the way to 2018 elections and beyond. women have always wielded political power, but where and how and which women have changed over time. and as we assess where women are today, and where they might be heading, we should always remember that they are standing on the shoulders of the political woman who came before them. thank you. >> (applause) we i also am very happy to be here, david i did know your mother personally, but of course i knew her work and the biography of moscow it's was a very important look for me. i am gonna speak about representative patsy, teammate of hawaii. who was the mother of my collaborator, on the book just published. patsy was th

i would encourage you to do eleanor roosevelt. blanche cook has this amazing three volumes both are still a lot of material in a way to do a very powerful biography of hers. i tend to think of what figures don't have the big biography that need to be done though. with that said a couple right at this compass may be think about a few we still have a big biography of. i've done so much presidential history here. james madison, , that's the big want to do. james monroe, nobody has done the big book on james monroe ousted president. he could've won a third term. he oversaw the era of good feelings with john quincy adams and the monroe doctrine and a lot that could be done with monroe and nobody has done a ag popular biography of him. i am aghast there's not a big part of cesar chavez. there is cesar chavez boulevards, parts, highways, national monument here in california, everything, and yet nobody has invested in the life and times of cesar chavez. those are examples of i think about sometimes -- wow, that's wide-open, or forget it,

host: eleanor, thank you for the call, and we will get a response. guest: my response is this -- too many people wait until the general election to purchase pay. they basically say let the parties pick their candidates, and then i will make a choice between those two, from the major candidates, and yes there are some who support third parties and so on. 95% of the people who vote end up voting between the two major party candidates. that is a terrible mistake. you should not wait until the general election. you should get active in the primaries, maybe even before the primaries, and activities. that is where the choice is made. people often say -- how did we get these two turkeys? not that i think these two are turkeys or others are turkeys, but people will say, how did we get these two turkeys as the nominees for president? and my answer to them always is, because you did not for dissipate. the vast majority of people do primary up for activities. you leave it for others, you let george do it, and then you are stuck with the two candidates you get.

sit through troubled ministers actually 1st cousins tom and eleanor 1st because it's a tradition versus you know the new prostitution or majority way of thinking so you have that tremendous divide different philosophies together and stanley represents one side and tom represents the other so my name is strongly com i'm the tribal minister for a new car christened comes originally so i like to be a tribal at nish. board in your. school teaching new intake there was a election dispute. in october condit call. the new car traditional console. somebody who works there. said we've never had. it quite a while. and it's an excellent piece you were being accused of not having a tonight year's election when we moved in the wrong you had to look for all these words i knew it was coming up. and someone smarter words began following the money and realizing some of the money's not accounted for while they actually suspended the elections so once they suspended the elections there was a there was a feeling that the community was being left out of the process yeah they were scheduled to leave in 2012.

eleanor holmes norton. i'm delighted to be with her.h reflection but a lot of tears and a lot of reflection on the history of what we're making today. what i would say is that so many women have tried to climb that mountaintop that dr. martin luther king spoke of in the early 1800s during the truth, tried to move into the suffragette movement. we know madam c.j walker, tried to be a businesswoman. madam jordan, fanny lou. today it is evident there is an affirmation of not only black women, but women of southeast asia, women of color that they have finally reached a status where they are affirmed in this nation as equal partners, and this mountain that we have all been trying to climb, kamala has taken us to the mountaintop. it's an enormously important moment and it's based upon her own history and talent as she led such a large department in the a.g.'s office. 4,800 staff, $700 million budget. it is now affirmed that women can lead. >> congresswoman norton, i guess the same question to you. a couple of weeks past congressman john lewis

. >> i can't find words that accurately capture eleanor's significance to the democratic party, to the nation, and to president kennedy's ascension to the presidency. she paves the way, and influences so many people. obviously you can't have fdr's support, he is long gone, but eleanor is able to bridge that gap. >> well, we'll end with the thought about the fact that both of these men, jfk and fdr essentially gave their lives in duty to the country. i think in both cases, their death in office created a resonance with the american people that has stayed with us all of these years. and i think that there is a, something missing in today's politics in that both of these people truly believed in public service. they had been raised with the sense that they had a duty and a responsibility to serve the american people, and they both did, in very, very extraordinary ways. and you know, i think john f. kennedy the inaugural address remains one of the drof greatess of all-time. >> i have to agree and say fdr in the events of his time as president shaped the nation, shaned that generation in pr
