but eleanor roosevelt was there, she was very much the leader of the easter egg roll during that time. she's the first lady or president to speak live directly from the easter egg roll on the radio. and usually the weather was very good. there was one year where was not so good. it was unnaturally very cold and only about 5000 kids showed up , which is really tiny for something like this. and she more or less discouraged -- encourage everyone to run around, have fun and stay warm. >> talking about presidents and mee, tell me -- war, tell what happened during the bush administration when the iraq war was going on? >> the president and first lady had a great idea that in order to remind everyone that even on the happiest occasions, we need to remind our active-duty members are making great they had yellow for the iraq war. >> the yellow ribbon concept. >> support our troops. then the second bush administration did something similar. they actually closed the grounds down for one year for the easter egg roll and barred the general public and made a special event for active-duty and reserv

a week later i decided to start to write things down after some guidance from my north star eleanor roosevelt visited the home "-end-quotes about the government being we have people. so the need to record things as they went. i have no idea what this would lead to. it was nine items long and the next week was 18 items when people ask i say this is when i thought doin of doing the list a good idea. now it's over 150 items and gradually as trump took over and started to stack up his regime it got longer and longer. all of this was without a plan i kept going at last summer my friends said can't you have someone else do this. but then i recognized the importance and everyone started to keep track because it's growing and the material is horrible. it's not what i had planned back in 2016. but here we are today last spring i started to hear publishers and agents. i just didn't have time to think about it when the regime is in power and my editor was one of the early people that kept reaching out to me and said this is already a 500 page book which it iis including 100 pages of te triple column abb

they went and worked for eleanor roosevelt in the depths of the depression in west virginia, trying tocoal miners get back on their feet. and my dad fell in love with the traditional music that the coal miners would play, particularly on the fiddle. we did not have a television. so what did you do after dinner at the farm? either my dad would read charles dickens out loud or we would get out instruments and play. and if you wanted to be in the family, you better learn to play something. [laughter] david: so did famous musicians come over to your house? dr. collins: people would drop by. perhaps the best known, although not at the time, was a particularly sullen 18-year-old who showed up, sort of being brought along by a more senior, experienced folk song writer and singer. and the young 18-year-old turned out was having his birthday in our living room. and he sang a few songs and had a terrible voice, had no social skills, and i was quite sure he had no future at all. that, of course, turned out to be bob dylan. david: did you ever meet him again? dr. collins: i did. david: did he reme

eleanor roosevelt is not an anti- suffragist but she's not a supporter of suffrage. she seems so ambivalent that the suffragists try to court her. and try to make her one of their own. argued that women would be sullied by contamination with political life even just by voting and they might lose the soft power of influence at the arty head. many others were social and religious and cultural experts who feared that it would bring about an l healthy shift in gender roles. it would endanger the american home. and bring about in their words the moral collapse of the nation. it would alter private not just public lights and this is what made it so frightening. and here is this wonderful anti- suffrage broadside. it has the has the caption of both for federal suffrage is a vote for organized female nagging forever. you can see how frightening this is. and this is also an important reminder that the debate over women's suffrage for all of those years was never just a political argument. it was also a social and cultural and for some moral debate about the role in society an

had to do and she remembered practically every meeting that she had ever been a part of from eleanor roosevelt to martin luther king to ella randolph and she would give you the chapter and the person in the story. yesterday we were talking about jackson heights. wetalked about when she was going through that last moment of life . she gathered that howard university posture. she went to say goodbye and dorothy heights was not willing to say goodbye. she took four months because she had something to say. she had so many curtain calls that they had to call in the doctor, they just said lord will take care of this when the lord feels like he is ready for her. you can you imagine when st. peter saw her? but dorothy penalized what i call women power. the national council of women, if you have not given your contribution, come on. stand tall. can you support our organization? it's women's history month, i get my naacp, i don't want to becaught . i don't want to be caught out in the street without my membership card. i've got more than aarp. i was so grateful, i apologize to you. i filled my aarp card

but not as hillary clinton or eleanor roosevelt. one was secretary of state. her resume would be the impact she had on others. i can't think of another person that has had a greater impact. for example, there's no first lady that has ever had a son that was elected governor. she's had two of them and two presidents. what many people don't know is at one point they were grooming neil bush to run for governor of colorado, too. so she's had a tremendous impact as a woman. if you're a woman born when she was born, limited by the limitations she had, how can you make a difference? i don't think you can do much more than what she did. >> as a role model for anyone, male or female that wants to be of service, two of her characteristics that stuck out is her humility and herselfle herselflessness. in every story you've heard today, she put others first and how although she was so very strong and outspoken, she was very humble. wouldn't you agree? >> i would agree with that. there's one thing that has been missing in the conversations today, she was forgiving. she knew

women like eleanor roosevelt don't even support it. even now there are areas i don't want to go on too long but i had have a relative in the military who when there is a discrepancy because at his level he has to meet the physical standards that a female of the same rank with it want to meet so that is a great argument for why we need an equal rights amendment for everybody. sounds like a great book. i have a question if you can talk about how they were funded. >> i think there is a new book or there was a presentation about funding the suffrage movement. i talk about that a lot in the book. there were wealthy women who support the movement. one woman in particular that is a favorite of mine a publisher in new york who inherits a very famous 19th century publication when she dies in 1914, she gives her entire fortune which is $2 million to spend on behalf of women's suffrage and that is a huge amount of money. and that becomes the nest egg that helps both fund this ratification campaign for her organization and is for the league of wom

she's very unique and as a first lady i would rank her among the top three, hillary clinton and eleanor roosevelt because of their rÉsumes, but barbara bush because of the impact she had on other people. kennedy: that's a very good point smep was sandwiched in between two first ladies who were high profile who had great influence on their husband's administrations, yet she stands out between nancy reagan and hillary clinton on her own. and you know, you're absolutely right. the influence that she's had on many people, those who have met her have talked about her humor and her kindness and even if you met her for the firsttime and for a brief moment, she was talking directly to you with an unchark ris ticuncharacteristicu normally don't see in people that high profile. >> she's very very very funny. i can tell you right after they won the election and they were in the white house, she invited in the catholic cardinals and took them on a private tour of the family quarters. i was along as a staffer she was pointing out all of the paintings on the wall and who the artist was, who was painted. and we

john and jackie kennedy to eleanor roosevelt's funeral. i'm wondering what you made.eresting conversation when maria bartiromo talked with george and laura bush. laura bush revealed a year ago she visited melania at the white house. i guess they were talking about raising children in the white house. that surprised me given the tension between the bushes and the trumps or more to the point george bush and his brother, jeb. didn't get in the way of the first ladies. what did you think of that? >> it's great. there's so few experiences that people can share that have been first lady or been president that i wish the presidents had more of a club after it was only. knowing they only know the excitement and the difficulty of being president. so true of first ladies. so to reach across tensions that happened during campaigns and to share what it's like to be first lady, it's a human thing to do and does everybody good. i wish they would get together more. >> neil: i was catching not long ago and you were so featured in the documentary on the roosevelts. you know, think aft

before marcia went off to moscow in march of 1947, eleanor roosevelt, henry morgan south and other notables who have been big supporters of this policy had a rally in new york to urge general marshall to making a quote-unquote hard peace with germany. so in fact, the most important most consequential aspect of the marshall plan success which i would argue was a quick revitalization of west german economy was the most controversial in terms of american public opinion. >> what was the effect of churchill iron curtain speech on all these things? >> there was, as you can imagine, a split in views. truman came to repent of having a company churchill. the speech was seen as being too aggressive and to militaristic. so that was, at the time that he made it in 1946, considered overly provocative. >> this may be outside the scope of your book, but could you draw any comparisons to what china is doing with the one road project and motivation dollars invested and possible outcome to the countries that are impacted? >> for external consumption, the chinese are clearly marketing their one belt, one road

the party affiliations and her multiple votes on war and warmaking, you it seems like she and eleanor roosevelt would have been chums. did you find any of that? jane: it was important to note that at this time, you had the progressive republicans. a lot of people who were republican in the early 20th century probably would have become democrats leader on, and the progressive republicans and liberal democrats, they overlapped on a lot of issues. so, yeah, when you look at a lot of the women in the progressive movement, they were republican, but what they were fighting for was elimination of child labor and pulling up people's working conditions, so it is hard to say if one person was a republican or a democrat when you look back over the time when it had a different meaning. another thing about jeannette rankin is she never said i am a republican. she said i run on the republican ticket. so she was a very independent person. her family was very involved in the republican party, and that is what influenced her to stay in the republican party. but she was not a big fan of parties. when she looked

. >> one thing i wanted everybody to understand is that i also came to admire eleanor roosevelt. she was a superb first lady. i really came to understand her and understand the trouble that she went through. but how much she loved her sons and all her sons can all her children including the first roosevelt to address the nation after the attack of december 7, 1941 was not reglan roosevelt. it was eleanoror roosevelt. she went on national radio the night of december seven and talk to the nation about the coming crisis, about the japanese attack, about having four cents in uniform. it was a quite compelling speech about the call to duty and sacrifice. she herself was a remarkable woman. fdr white house was full of fun all the time. he was in a can guess all the time. he was entertaining spencer tracy and any actor, he loved hollywood. he had, premiered a lot of movies over his time in the white house, is he went out on the sequoia a lot as was mentioned and went fishing a lot. i imagine it was almost like a movie set. it was just a lot of fun going on, a lot of intellectual convers

this morning i just quoted eleanor roosevelt saying the main fear is fear itself.for migration it is exactly the same. if we just take migration as a fear and we don't address the original and deep roots of the migration we will entertain the fear and create more divisions in our country and create more rejections and convictions and never fix the situation. we will never succeed and it will be precisely to help africa to succeed. as for [inaudible] i believe that is a very that's a unique language because you mentioned not just the french state but i always say that french people are very often speaking one language and the whole africa people speak french, english, different languages from their country of origin and that is why i firmly believe one of her assets in the french language is also a language of translation and being part of something compatible with all the languages and the language of chance and is a very powerful one. one of the weaknesses of the french language was probably is perceived as an instrument by france to dominate [inaudible] and deliv

it was the liberals that brought up the idea and eleanor roosevelt spoke to the mothers of the nation and said you may have to sacrifice your sons but we have to win. it was in 1968 and liberal politics that brought on the idea -- there's nothing wrong with masculine or feminine, they are both good, but you can't feminize -- we are and now we are to the point where we get ready to have an action we have to take the first question is when are we going to bring our boys home. that is normal for the mothers but it is not what we need to win. i think that one thing about conservative politics is they say we have to win and there may be sacrifice. that is realistic and the ugly thing of war it is necessary sometimes and a bad thing of liberal politics is the liberals need to reconsider and say we win and yes we want our boys to come home but it shouldn't be time lines and bring them home now before we start. just a comment on liberal politics. host: michael cohen. mr. cohen: i would say a lot of men felt that the war in vietnam was a mistake and the boys should come home. one of the reason

of her children, one who died young as an alcoholic, a young man and you can't compare her to eleanor rooseveltho had five children who had 19 marriages between them. she was not first mom, but here is a woman, barbara bush, everyone around her was successful. so, it's not an accident of history. she did some things right. neil: you know, you think about iconic american dynasties, families, whether you want to look at roosevelts, the kennedys, certainly the bush family would qualify there. they come from a great deal of money, barbara bush herself personally came from a great deal of money, and they could have chose and variety of other routes, but public service was sort of ingrained, and i'm wondering, that's a common theme among these patriarchal families. >> yeah, it is and they felt they had an obligation, that it was what they were supposed to do. i think the key in understanding barbara bush and the success of her family is her relationship with her mother. her mother was very preoccupied with details and trivialities and easily hurt and held grudges and was just miserable, at least in t
