on the other hand you get works like saving the jews which says fdr is the great savior. our work shows both extremes are flatly wrong. fdr was far from perfect when it came to jewish, but far better than political opposition or any other world leader at the time. it is not monolithic site these extreme works would have us believe. we identified the four roosevelts are at the first his first term was fighting the depression and getting his new deal and. just as fircrest african-americans. he didn't want new deal programs to become minority programs. roosevelt did allow. he eased visa restrictions. he organized a major initiative to recognize a major conference on the resettlement around the world. he pressed latin american countries and he has been excoriated for turning down admission to the united states 937 passengers aboard the u.s.a. and lewis june of 1939 but denied entry to cuba. yet those of your roosevelts initiatives allowed 5000 to 6000 jews to reach cuba before cuba changed policies with respect and worked with american jewish relief organizations to find safe

there's even evidence that fdr's administration was willing to take it to the empire. but here's a nice quote from henry morgenthau speaking to the u.s. treasury representative in 1940s. he said there's one thing i know i can say that we don't want any of those islands. i know he doesn't want jamaica. i know he doesn't want trinidad and i know he doesn't want reddish sky in that. last night in fact, the u.s. was more spontaneously generous during the second world war to china and the soviet union than it was to britain. it seems rather remarkable today. the mindset during the war was really focused on britain as our main rival. this is all overthrown three years later with the marshall plan in 1947, but that's another story to be told that my next book. one of the reasons for the collapse of british imperial power in 1946 in 1947 with this rapid and violent because britain was rapidly running out of dollars and the u.s. treasury was managing that process. if you look at the debates going on behind the scenes and the british government at the end of 1946, early in 1947

republicans is that the history of the american economy is when you withdraw government spending as fdr he tried austerity and we got a double-dip recession. hoover tried it. when the private sec to is always withdrawing it, it's lower gdp. that's simple math. no one has ever explained to me how cutting jobs in and of itself does it. if it's not the private sector, hello, it's got to be the government. >> thank you michael crowley, with that great last namt. marry crowley. i like her. what do you do if you're too far for the cp, the cpac crowd. you accuse them of being in cahoots with the muslim brotherhood. that's ahead.

the american economy is that when you withdrawal government government spending from the economy, as fdrried austerity, we had a double dip recession, hoover tried it. the idea of withdrawaling government spending when the private sector is also withdrawing spending, it means you lower gdp. no one has explained how cutting government spending in and of itself creates jobs. they don't have a relationship. you have to have somebody spending into the country. >> joy reed, thank you, and michael crowley, with that great last name. >>> up next, what do you do if you're too far to the right for the cpac crowd? you accuse them ever being in cahoots with the muslim brotherhood. cahoots with the muslim some things, you have to see to believe. the color of our shimmering waters. the beauty of our swaying palms. and the magic of a people... ...and a place like nowhere else on earth. behold...the islands of the bahamas. it's delicious. so now we've turned her toffee into a business. my goal was to take an idea and make it happen. i'm janet long and i formed my toffee company through legalzoom. i nev

last week was the 71st anniversary of fdr's ordering of japanese americans into camps and we got to watch footage of people having to leave their homes, be held in holding areas, be bused to these camps, live in the camps, and also getting out of them. we listened to people say, what is this nonalien business? i'm an american business. they had nothing to do with the bombing of pearl harbor. we also watched a very moving film called the flickr in eternity. i believe it was about a young man named stanley who was 19 years old and he made a journal about his experience in the camps. they consider him like an anne frank at the time. it was really interesting. he was actually drafted into europe world war ii and was killed over there. they found his journal. they made a film and it's wonderful. and he, to me, -- he was able to tell the experience in the first person and i really want to encourage that more people see that film, a flickr in eternity. that's the human side of this, thank you.

you said fdr took us off the gold standard. what was it that richard nixon did with the gold standard when he was president? thank you. >> guest: yeah. because we were put back on gold after the war under bretton woods. the dollar became the word's reserve currency backed by gold. now, there's a difference between backed by gold and convertible into gold. technically, we were on the gold standard, but you could not go into any bank and take a $20 bill and save give me a gold dollar. it didn't work that way. it was still privately-held gold was still prohibited in a marketplace. i remember buying my first krugerrands in 19, i think it was '73 or '4. i made a killing on them at time. but i took advantage of being able to get gold at the time. so there's a difference between gold as a reserve currency which it was not under roosevelt and gold being in private hands. i hope i didn't muddy the water there. >> host: larry schweikart, you mentioned that when you were arguing with milton friedman on the danube, that was your only trip

fdr, clinton, bush. it is extraordinary. i think they all believe lincoln showed them the ability to succeed in a crisis. lincoln faced the worst crisis in american history and a recalcitrant congress, which is not a new phenomenon. despite all that, he managed to steer us to preserving the union and ending slavery. he is a model of success under pressure and success that unfortunately came with a great cost. host: harold holzer is a scholar and the author of "how abraham lincoln ended slavery in america." if you want to get involved in our conversation, here are the numbers. you can also reach out and touch us via social media. harold holzer, regarding president lincoln, how would he handle things like sequestration and the partisan battles going on between different houses of congress and between congress and the white house? guest: however bad the blue and red combination is, blue and gray is worse. partisanship led to shooting wars in the 1850's in kansas and ultimately throughout the country. for all acknowledgement tha

even though it fdr missed hearing the speech he has echoes in the second to bill of rights. social rights is a supplement to political rights starting as far back as the french revolution but the idea of medical care was more recent. this discussion was common in the '30's and 40's because medical care itself was becoming more effective and starting to matter. before they knew about medical miracles like vaccinations, penicillin, an tiseptic surgery to extend the life and to withhold the miracles came to seem unjust. and medical care was also starting to cost more in the average family could not pay for a hospital stay where major illness or the birth of a child out of wages it was not only life and health that cause serious financial hardship. that is why it is a matter of economic security as well as health security. as the demands of a social right to it was represented from people like florence greenberg the national prominence of the second bill of rights and finally adopted united nations and universal declaration of human rights after world war two's takes to eleanor
