f.d.r. then goes on to lay out a new set of rights that all americans should be granted including the right to a job. the right to earn enough to provide adequate food clothing and recreation to yourself and your family the right of every business person to trade in freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies the right to a decent home a right to adequate medical care a right to adequate protection from the old from old age sickness accidents and unemployment and a right to a good education first of all never succeeded in getting his second bill of rights passed he died of a stroke before we could see that happen but at least his definition of an economy which is something the serves the needs of society and provides the best quality of life for the greatest number of people was accepted for the next several decades by both republicans and democrats who supported labor unions high taxation on the rich and a regulated economy that protect some american jobs and keeps american

now there's new rights that f.d.r. hope to guarantee to all americans included a right to a job that pays enough to make a good living to buy food and clothing and even take a vacation every now and then a right to a decent home a right to medical care a right to protection from old age sickness accident and unemployment a right to a good education and a right for every business owner to sell his goods or her goods in a market free from unfair competition and monopolies as we know today since none of us really have those rights i just mentioned f.d.r.'s revolutionary idea died with him a year after he proposed it and today with record poverty staggering unemployment the health care crisis the student loan debt crisis and too big to fail dominating wall street one has to wonder if all of this everything we're facing today could have been prevented had roosevelt succeeded seventy years ago and codified in his second bill of rights and on top of that now that we know that paul ryan will be on the republican ticket this el

investigated and they actually meted out penalties and then there was reform and regulations like f.d.r. who came in with his reforms you have to see glass steagall which set the stage for what's called the american century thanks to f.d.r.'s bank reform that's the last another depression this is the one completely krugman gets wrong completely what ben bernanke a good strong their lessons from the depression are completely wrong they think it's about a fiscal policy or a monetary policy we need to avoid those mistakes move imagine the fact that there were penalties meted out for financial crimes to wall street and the book or a commission that's what set the stage for the american century f.d.r. wall street ok you libertarians out there you know recognize that because you're intellectually lazy and you're well here's another reset of this banker here that because there is no punishment no deterrent let's look at this exclusive several banks seek leniency in e.u. europe or probe several banks under investigation for suspected euro rate rating have joined deutsche bank in giving informat

and f.d.r. played it. that's how he managed to stitch together the great majorities. >> there's language around that memorial. did you happen to check and see if any of it was taken out of text? >> i did not. it would be an interesting topic. >> you say in here that jefferson was demonstrablely a racist. those are the exact words? >> absolutely. absolutely. ablute. the whole idea in -- in his writings, even when he's condemning slavery, he's also arguing, hey, maye the -- maybe he was -- he stunts his writings on the subject but what it all amounts to is i'm not convinced they are free human beings. that's it. and with a good deal of inclined kind of civilized regret that there should be worry concerning it and so on, i find it a very unattractive performance, i must say, the whole thing -- everything he writes about blacks and racism. >>ow many books like thisad been written that you, when you did your resech, did many take this position likeou have? >> books? no. there are -- i tink i cite in my last cha

fact one of the best ways to grow ourself out of this economy is through keynesian economics that f.d.r. used in the one nine hundred to get out of the great depression and that's going to get us out this time on fortunately republicans in congress believe austerity is the only way to grow the economy but housing let's see how that fits for size when they've been in power we've seen the we've seen the economy grow. last that when democrats are in power for the first two years of the bomb instructions i just don't think that's i don't that is completely totally that's connected to reality and that's why i said i would not use republicans why are republicans supporting the same stuff they supported when reagan was in the white house when bush was in the white house and that was increasing government spending increasing the size of government and as in hiring more government workers to get out of this because the republican party has got much more conservative than it was in those years there's been a much dumber when it comes to you cannot know that only you could say that there's a you k

>> f.d.r., i don't know. historically, the country saw him change things. chris: as for mitt romney, how does he deal with his shortcomings as an ortor? >> i may sometimes being a little awkward, but there's nothing self-conscious in my love of country. what it all comes down to after all the shouting and the tears is a man at the desk and who should sit at that desk? my friends, i am that man. chris: kelly, that was an amazing moment down in new orleans. you weren't there, i don't think, yet. i was there. i was crying. i'm up in the bleachers watching this. i said, that's george bush. where did he come from? he came from peggy noonan, obviously. she wrote that amazing speech. can romney do that kind of thing? i'm a little yesterday, but you know what? i really love this country and i'll fight for it. >> they have similar sensibilities and you could see that that would be helpful for him if the speechwriters are paying attention now, to give him a chance to be self-deprecating, because then people do root for you more. one of the things that we certainly he

advocates caused americans to fear and hate the muslim community and back in one nine hundred forty four f.d.r. called out republicans saying they were using the most one of hitler's most powerful profit began the techniques to win over voters so what was that technique i'll tell you in today's daily take. it goes to the rest of the news wiki leaks founder julian assange has been in the ecuadorian embassy in london for two months now and it's been six days since the government of ecuador officially granted him diplomatic asylum status and throughout all this time the british government continues to refuse a songe safe passage out of the ecuadorian embassy in london now many are that being up to speak out on his behalf on sunday the former british ambassador to pakistan and former whistleblower himself greg murray attacked his own government and made this statement on why assad and others like him are more important now than ever. this isn't right because if you don't need to be. with me in mind. i'm only going to fool with. you need. a way around what is. coming. to new york and civil libertie

twenty's followed by a horrific crash that produced a decade long republican great depression and when f.d.r. tried to do what obama is trying to do regulate the banks toure's they said like they are now saying that the president was an anti-american socialist and he's trying to tear down important american institutions like banks and capitalism roosevelt kicked them squarely in the teeth. they. economic. playing the way. they in. america what they really plain. is that we seek to take away. in vain they take the high and but i in the play and a con. in the line the minute they forget what the flag on the on the band. but back then the banks couldn't buy every politician in america we had laws against that passed back in the eighteen hundreds of the state levels and in one thousand seven at the federal on the tillman act the prevented corporations and even in some cases very rich people from buying politicians or political parties. for example this old wisconsin law was on the books from around the time of the civil war until the one nine hundred fifty s. no corporation doing business in the

pick is all important, folks, we all remember f.d.r.'s vice president john nantz gardner who said his role "was not worth a bucket of warm piss." (laughter) that may sound bad but remember, this was the depression. a bucket of warm piss was their ipad. (laughter) now the v.p. can make all the difference. in 2008, it was maverick election of sarah palin that helped john mccain clinch another term in the senate. (cheers and applause) everybody wants to know who romney will pick. well, now there's a new way for us to figure it out. >> if the past is any indication how we will learn of mitt romney's choice, perhaps you can just look to wikipedia because the day before sarah palin was named as john mccain's running mate her wikipedia page was updated 68 times. >> stephen: 68 times! well, that's impressive. considering that once she was on the ticket she did not edit herself once. (laughter) so the number of times a wikipedia page has been edited predicts the chances for v.p. slot. folks, that means we could be looking at vice president season

no president since f.d.r. has been re-elected with an unemployment rate this high. but the president decided to focus today on the number of jobs that were created, and nancy cordes is at the white house. >> those are our neighbors and family members finding work, and the security that comes with work. but, let's acknowledge, we've still got too many folks out there who are looking for work. we've got more work to do on their behalf. >> reporter: the slight rise in unemployment was a disappointment at the white house where senior advisers used to predict privately that the rate would drop below 8% by election day. >> any increase in the unemployment rate is unwelcome. >> reporter: alan krueger is the president's top economist. >economist. mitt romney today called the unemployment rate a hammer blow to middle class families. >> i don't think it was a hammer low to the 163,000 americans who found a job in july. the president has made a number of proposals that we believe will lower the unemployment rate, and if congress acts on those proposals, i would expect the unem

they started talking about what we now know as social security that became grafted eventually into f.d.r.'s new deal i think with congressman paul some of his ideas in terms of tarp and things of that nature i think frankly have resonated with a lot of people beyond congressman paul's base and i do think that there is going to be a lot of concern about this and there's going to be a sharp guy with people here everybody or a lot of people i know on the conservative side are very enthusiastic about governor romney and particularly congressman ryan but i don't think that the kind of issues that bruce is raising have been forgotten and i think that there will not be a tendency now to let them if there is a romney ryan administration to let them skate as i think was sort of done with george w. bush in the aftermath of nine eleven i think go ahead brister i think many of the problems that we had many of the problems there were a numerated in the opening here really escape you know political or government resolution it's the matter of the political culture our icons who we hold up for admiratio

was the steady deceit it was amazing to me i thought so too i in fact we played a clip earlier of f.d.r. from one hundred forty four talking about the big lie and how you just repeated over and over and over that this is those republican strategy it seems that they tried it in forty four they're trying it again now. what do you think romney's going to try and do tonight. well romney's task is actually a relatively easy one this convention has had an arc chris christie gave a ridiculous speech and it was dismissed as such frankly by a lot of republicans but on that same night and romney gave a speech that whether you liked her or not would you like your politics or not basically began to lay the groundwork for suggesting that you know mitt romney is the kind of solid responsible guy he is going to complete that arc tonight and try and really do a significant measure of biography bizarrely you know this guy's been around for all this time a little reintroduction combined with a soft version of the romney ryan approach and tell you that he's going to give you a hard truth in reality i thin

there for you know says to beginning a wall street and mr happening now in the until there is a new f.d.r. who comes in with a new book or a commission and brings in glass steagall and f.d.i.c and other things then these people continue to have their money stolen look at facebook i mean we talked to you before the facebook went public we said it's a bomb it's a stinker don't. with a ten foot pole it's going to be down fifty percent within six months i virtually guarantee it but people bought it anyway because they're on facebook it's virtual it's a digital narcissism because they're on facebook and they like well i can buy into myself playing with myself with my other selves who are exactly like me and myself and my digital narcissistic magic mirror and i can own part of this well i want to own it at thirty eight dollars a share i'm down fifty percent in six months go yes i guess i mean eighty it also exposed since that is that facebook is just littered with bots people actually are friends with max kaiser on facebook who is a fake max keiser and the guy talks to the viewers of this progr

televised contest and then of course there are those futurists like jefferson de tocqueville lincoln and f.d.r. who imagine a nation of the people by the people for the people for the future belongs to big brother or the super rich or we the people remains to be seen we're already catching a glimpse of the dystopian frankly absurd future america and which corporations run or own virtually everything we see and do virtually every single day all around the nation it's a future where all our commons the stuff owned by we the people or school buses or fire trucks or police cars or public libraries parks road signs subways or all of them have been hijacked by corporations and admin in the not too distant future and already in some places around america corporate advertising runs everything take for example this fire hydrant in indiana which now belongs to kentucky fried chicken apparently is manhole cover now belongs to contrary to colonel sanders the new york times explain what's going on here with a recent article about how broke cities afraid to raise taxes on their rich or corporate residents a

as being just average people part of the american middle class or as in the case of a rich guy like f.d.r. at least understanding the needs of the middle class and working people the idea that a rich donor by give money to a candidate's campaign and then expect that candidate devote their way was shocking it was considered bribery in one hundred fifty two when senator richard nixon was running for vice president democrats pointed out that he'd taken eighteen thousand dollars on one hundred fifty grand in today's money from some fat cat donors americans were so shocked by that allegation that nixon had to go on national television to address them it was a second most famous speech of all time right behind his i am not a crook speech as he tried to reassure americans that he would never ever cast a vote in a particular way or and rich him self because of his position as a senator. i'm sure that you have read the charge and you've heard but i senator next took eighteen thousand dollars from a group of my supporters let me point out and i want to make good particularly put that no contributor
