this created a dilemma for fdr. the policy had perfectly fit american public opinion but now it won't work. what do you do instead? how do you compensate for this problem? and so fdr came up with something called the lend/lease bill that would allow him as president to provide military aid to any country's defense he determined was vital to u.s. security. the president gets to decide this. what's vital to u.s. security? think about the neutrality legislation which was basically meant to control what the president was allowed to do, restrict what the president was allowed to do. this is going in the exact opposite direction. now the president gets to decide for himself what vital interests are and who deserves american aid as a result of that. the idea was that the united states would lend or lease arms to britain with the understanding that after the war the united states would be paid back in kind somehow. fdr came up with a clever analogy to sell this to people. remember, he's always trying to sell this to the pub

fdr is able to do that over and over again. in the fall of 1939, it seemed like americans were done. they have cash and carry, congress approved, it fdr signs it. we have our policy. we are good here. and you know what happens next. the nazi offensive in the spring of 1940. and then the fall of france. and that changed everything. >> theoretically, i suppose. i it applied to only britain and france, right? >> >> theoretically, i suppose. i don't know about the specific language of the legislation. but everyone knew what the legislation was actually accomplishing. there was no expectation that nazi germany would be buying war materials from the united states. >> is the cash and carry policy the start of what would become the -- program? >> yes and no. ultimately, i will argue that that was actually a break from this policy. but it's a step in that direction. >> cash and carry was okay, as long as it looked like england and france were likely to win. that's what changed in the spring and summer of 1940. the fall of france complet

one other tidbit related to fdr, we compared my outpatient visits to warm springsth when fdr was there. he was there to times when i went over for visits, including, including the week that he died. he died at warm springs in april of 1945. >> host: do you have residual effects from yours. >> i do but have lead a normal life it affected my left quadricep and have always had difficulty going downstairs, i was never particular good at running. but i've had a normal life. many polio patients died some ended up in iron lungs for interminable period of time or had lifetime disabilities way more severe than mine. so i was fortunate. i had a mother who pursued her instructions relentlessly i was very lucky i was lucky to be near warm springs. that was the one thing at that time with the best techniques were to try to bring you back to normal. >> when you were reading where theree aha moments going to you as a policymaker today? >> when i was reading the book question it. >> yes. public relations campaign led by the president of thehe united states would getet entertainers and others intereste

one of the most interesting things about the polio period was fdr came down with polio at age39 . most people thought it was kind of a children's disease but it did affect adults from time totime . in his own struggle to come back and ultimately go all the way to the white house, he set up warm springs. the place he would go after he was afflicted because the springs werewarm. it was down in georgia and it made him feel better to get in the water . that led to the establishment of a foundation which led to something commonly referred to as the march of dimes. and ultimately after a long struggle and after roosevelt's death, they help finance the research done by sabin and salt and it's a fascinating story about taking a particular disease, turning it into a prominent sales campaign. they financed the march of dimes largely, listen to this by passing the hat in movie theaters. people would drop their dimes in and in another, they raise enough money to fund most of the research and also the facilities that developed at warm springs were the best physical therapists in the country at

even though fdr called roosevelt, called pearson a chronic liar, fdr himself leaked to pearson. a wonderful story about, one day roosevelt was mad about leaks coming out of his administration. he called the staff and he said no more leaks under any circumstances. and one of the staff said, well, you know, there is that story that you wanted to get out so we could test the congressional reaction to it. and fdr said, you're right, you're right. you can pleek story to pearson. and the staff member that, i already have. so that's the kind of sources. quite amazing sources. and of course, people knew that was a way to get out and not to have the story attributed to them. >> excellent. our next question is from pat, good to see you joining us today. was there a link between drew pearson and the earlier reports called the muck rakers? >> yes. in the book i talk about the muck rakers and what distinguished them. during the progressive era, for the most part, they were new york journalists who would rush into washington and write there exposes and go back to new york. the washington repo

i want to remind everyone briefly about what one of democrats icons, fdr said at the unveiling of the memorial in dallas in 1936. he said we recognize him as a great leader of men and great general at all over the united states i believe we recognize him as something more important than that, recognize robert ely as one of our greatest american christians and one of our greatest american gentlemen. how did we get from there to here? >> because partial insanity going in american politics now, by fdr and his approach to the american culture and history and paying homage to we, the democratic party of strategy, never of the publican -- part of the democrat party, that's why he chose john manske from texas in his running mate in 1932 and harry truman as his running mate in missouri in 1944, because it was to stitch up enough of a base for the democratic party to stay in power and keep our his words are true that there was a political use to them too so we've got to be careful about laying too much praise on fdr. >> we have we's pals over arlington national cemetery, the rowlett west point

one other little tidbit related to fdr, we compared my outpatient visits to warm springs with when fdras there two times when i had went over for a visit including, including the week that he died. he died at warm springs in april of 1945. >> host: do you have residual effects from your polio? >> guest: i do, but i've had a normal life. it affected my left quadricep, and i've always had difficulty going downstairs. i was never particularly good at running, but i don't, you know, i've had a normal life. many polio patients died. some ended up in iron lungs for an interminable period of time or had lifetime disabilities way more than more severe than mine, so i was fortunate. i had a mother who pursued her instructions relentlessly like a drill sergeant in the army, and so i've been very lucky. and i was lucky to be near warm springs because that was theso e place in the country where people knew if at least at that time what the best techniques were to try to bring you back to normal. >> host: when you were reading, were there aha moments going to you as a policymaker here today? >> gue

there is sanity by fdr and his approach to the american culture of history.ge to lee also the democratics parties southern strategy. i was part of democratic party. that's why each chose gartner from texas at his running mate in 1932, why he chose truman in 1944 because it was to stitch up enough of the base with the democratic party so they could stay in power and keep power. so his words are true but there was also a political use to them so we have to be careful about not laying too much praise on fdr. >> laura: but we have lee's house over arlington national cemetery. his role at west point. short of distant hurrying, which i guess they want to do as well, confederate soldier bodies and burning them on a funeral pyre. i am from connecticut. i am a connecticut yankee, but do you do have to ask where this all ultimately ends and your conclusion is it ends with -- final line, craig. >> where does it stop? monticello? there is no stopping them except if we stand back against them and push back. the only solution is to push back. it's not to cede or compromise

the critical landscape of congress during the war was tricky for fdr. republicans gained a huge number of seats in the 1942 midterm elections and common cause with a group of conservative democrats in the south concerned about blocking in the extension of the new deal but was felt in thes backers were able to through the needle by presenting it as this is my new entitlement program but designed specifically for returning veterans from world war ii, they have to use these benefits innocent. go time and then expired and go away. it was a 1-time special program to help millions of returning veterans and also a reward for their services and sacrifices. the fun part is the one position of the bill that is largely forgotten today, the unemployment benefits proved the most controversial aspect and the fear was a lot of veterans which is not to look for a job, would just live off the government, that was particularly a concern of some of the southern congressman we had a large number of african-american veterans in their state and that was a concern for them an

and a strong supporter of fdr's progressive new deal. we have dr.morgan, a retired professor of history at the university of southern mississippi to give us background on the door bilbo and his impact on politics during the fdr era. professor morgan is the author of "redneck liberal," " theodore g bilbo," and "new deal". >> listen at c-span.org/podcast wherever you get your podcasts. >> coming up, a conversation on the history and role of the u.s. presidency. this heritage foundation event held online also addresses presidential accountability and the role >> at the don of the republic, federalists -- leaders reached a compromise. the debate over the scope and role of a changing presidency continues. you will hear heritage visiting --

is, you guys, anyway, with his policies he thought the depression for. >> , the new deal, yes, yeah fdr change the direction of the government has no responsibility for release the masses of people rather than big business so they hired preachers and they enlisted them on the list of them in an army and funded them in various publications to align big business, the needs and the goals of big business align with christianity. and to treat unions as being anti-christian, billy graham so many of the policies trying to dismantle the right wing evangelical leaders are doing, whether they realize it or not is they are mobilizing their against their own interest so i say there's an unholy alliance. it is easily demonstrative for anyone who really wants to take a close look at it. that is something we have to talk about more. who could believe the amazon plant that could be persuaded from supporting a union well big business went in i think it is evil action and we have to start using the word evil. when you hurt innocent people, simply because you can, that is evil. that is not just politics.

fdr once warned of a government dependency and i quote here continued dependence upon the relief for a spiritual and moral disintegration fundamentally distracted to thee national fibr to dole out relief in this way and to administer narcotics, the subtle destroyer of the human spirit. as the elected officials were supposed to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars, we are supposed to lead this country in better shape for the childrenor and grandchildren. but the democrats tax and spending spree accomplishes neither of these things and in fact further promulgates the government dependency fdr caution future generations about. what's shocking is that in just one generation, the national debt has soared from $5 trillion to more than $28 trillion. think about that for a second. in the first 225 years of the nation's history the national debt was approximately $5 trillion and we have increased it by nearly another $25 trillion including accumulating more than $7 trillion in just the past two years. i said this before but folks, grab your wallets because the bill they want to pass for the r

there's a big part of this white house approach since day one, as you know well, geoff, guided by fdr and his approach to the great depression and that is action and action now, quoting fdr there, and there are a number of specific proposals there, and some of them may not stand up to the court challenge, but that is what fdr did to try a little bit of everything to try to get the nation out of the crisis. so a lot of what the president did yesterday is to do the same, and try things to get people vaccinate and some of them won't work, but some will, and he is showing the american people that he is trying the best effort. >> and john allen, it feels like every wingnut who wants to go to the school board meeting and scream and shout about masks makes it to the news, but that is not where the american people are. there is a swing poll looking at the vaccination mandates in arizona, georgia, michigan, pennsylvania and wist wishgs and the folks polled more than 60% in each state are on board for vaccination mandates. i want to draw out something that you wrote on the website that the pres

such an ally of fdr he named his second son frank delano. frank delano roosevelt dalessandro.m her mother, it's how you organize behind the scenes. her mother kept the favor file which is what it sounds like. constituents would come and need help finding housing or get a son out of jail or figure out the immigration status. her mother would arrange the favor, keep a record of the favor, rely on the person to turn out and vote in the next election, and also tapped that person for when someone down the road needed a favor. it is the essence of politics. host: while we are talking about them, let's see a little bit of video of nancy's father, from 1987. let's see if i can find it, about meeting fdr in person, from maryland public television. 1978, sorry. [video clip] >> one day i got a call. i was in the speaker's chair in congress. i was speaker of a chairman of a committee. a page comes up to me and says mr. congressman, the white house is calling you. the president wants you. i thought they were pulling my leg. i said, tell him if he wants to come talk to me, he has to come do

i read one of those newsletters this morning that said it's hard to pass an fdr agenda without an fdr majority in the congress. here you are trying to spend $3.5 trillion in social spending. >> certainly fdr was able to do the new deal with a little north of 300 democratic members of the house of representatives and i believe 69 democratic senators. even lyndon baines johnson in the context of the great society programs like medicare and medicaid had 290 or so democrats in the house and i think 68 senators on the democratic side in the senate. but the urgency of the moment, the conditions that everyday americans are confronting, which president biden so correctly said we need to address decisively, require action that's comprehensive, that is compassionate, and that's continuing. we have to build back better. we can't go back to pre-pandemic normal. president biden, as candidate biden, promised we would deal with the fact, for instance, that half the american people, prior to the pandemic, reported they could not afford a sudden unexpected $400 expense. that's not an acceptable condit

and his podcast, i think, i hope everyone listened to fdr's podcast. them fireside chats, but great podcast. >> yeah, great pod. his pod slapped, as the kids would say. we mention streed with you, because the details here, i think a lot of our viewers follow this, so we've been talking about biden's got more than one plan. he's got to hold that senate coalition but you've been able to remind us, this is one thing that hasn't changed. lbj said there's one way for a president to deal with congress, and that is continuously, incessantly, and without interruption. joe manchin was not who he was dealing with, but boy did he have plenty of irascible senators, michael. >> yeah, you're right, ari, and the real version of johnson's quote in private was probably a lot more profane than the elegant version that you just gave us for history. but that's right. roosevelt had this enormous congressional landslide and a presidential landslide two years later. but a lot of democrats in congress, but a lot of them were conservative, southern, certainly white. and the re

especially as a billionaire prime minister, you could be fdr and deliver the new deal, or you could beas a self-serving person. bernard: will this new government, however it's made up , will it be able to deliver on huge challenges? youth unemployment, crony capitalism charges, will they be able to meet these challenges? lahcen: no one can answer this question, but what i am sure about is that this government will not face the same challenges that they did because i am confident the political atmosphere will change completely in morocco. it will be 100% working with the king, for sure, and it will also take advantage of the fact that it's a politically homogenous government, a strong coalition, but the main channels, in addition to the high expectations for improving human development and the quality of the system in the nation is that no one in this party has some kind of socially rooted consistent -- constituency. they are made up of notables who can win elections, but they cannot win over the population. i think this will be a coalition . they enjoy electoral legitimacy given the nu

he came into office, he put a bust of fdr in the oval office. he thought about those new deal programs, and he said this is the agenda that i want to enact, and if you talk to democrats on the hill, they'll say, this is a chance to reshape the way we live as americans in the biggest manner since probably fdr if not the great society, so there is everything on the line right now because if he doesn't do it now, we're heading headlong into midterm campaign season, and you can already see said campaign season making it more difficult for the president here. and this is also a place, i will say, where the president's other troubles, all of the things we have been covering in the past couple of weeks, what happened in afghanistan, things that are showing in places like iowa, for example, his approval rating has taken a hit. what that does is diminishes the power he has to strong arm his members on capitol hill. when obama was president in the beginning, everybody wanted to be on board with him. by the end he struggled to get members of congress on bo

looking at what senator bernie sanders calls the "mt consequential legislation since the 1930's and fdrnd the new deal." we are talking about president biden's sweeping $3.5 trillion spending plan to expand the social safety net, increase taxes on the rich and corporations, improve worker rights and combat the climate crisis. senate democrats are hoping to use the budget reconciliation process to pass the larger package but this will only succeed if the entire democratic caucus backs the deal. so far, two conservative democratic senators - kyrstesinema of arizona and joe mancn of wes virginia - have balked at the $3.5 trillion price tag. this comes as house democrats face a looming deadline on september 27th. house speaker nancy pelosi had agreed to hold a vote on a separate bipartisan $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill by that date but now some house democrats say the deadline may be missed. a group of progressive democrats are threatening to vote against the smaller bipartisan infrastructure deal if it is not voted on alongside the larger $3.5 trillion plan. last week president biden u
