he said that meeting fdr was like opening a bottle of champagne. he said that fdr was great britain's best friend. they were they were very very good. they got along he came to visit dr. several times during the war in the white house. they got along very well stalin was an outlier because of politics and because of his personal behavior, you know the way he behaved yalta and at potsdam was it was obviously off putting to both fdr and truman but fdr did allow stalin to gobble up parts of eastern europe and the warsaw pact countries at yalta yalta was interesting. i always wondered why they went along y'all too was a was a falling down vacation home for the russian sars. and when the communists came to power they let it fall under ruin, but they chose it as the side of this important meeting which you decide what to do with the world after world war two. how do we divide the world? how do we handle the world? how do we manage the world? you know, they had this arrogant they could really run, you know, country that country or whatever, but you also h

let me bring up the slide of fdr and his last days and david. maybe you can just briefly tell the story of his death and her role in its aftermath. fdr died in april 12, 1945 and warm springs of a cerebral hemorrhage while he was posing for a portrait that was being painted by a woman named adam schumachov with him was his cousin laura delano and lucy mercer had reappeared from aiken, south carolina where she had been reappearing in his white hat later white house. here's as he grew sick and as he was his life was coming to to a close as the war itself was was dragging on fdr found some solace or some enjoyment and pleasure in remeding lucy a facilitated by anna. they're eleanor and franklin's daughter. i i don't see an enormous myself. i don't see an enormous significance in the fact that lucy was there and eleanor was an eleanor was was doing her own work. she was part of a entire. she's probably the most important of the roosevelt administration at that moment in terms of notizing how things were about to go with the creation of what ellen fd

the impact of the west coast with fdr's own almost neo-racism in his own in his own way. yeah, that's that's interesting because like so much of what fdr ended up doing here was basically just abdicating responsibility, right? he said okay these people on the west coast. he's military commanders think that this is necessary. they wrote an executive order. that was just very vague which technically could have allowed for the incarceration of german or italian americans, even though nobody writing it knew or everybody writing it knew that that would never be used for that and i think that like you said sort of that angst on the west coast. filtered its way up, but as we saw and i didn't mention this in the talk, and i probably should have is that you know only japanese-americans in washington, oregon, california and a very small sliver of arizona had to go to the camps. so if you lived across the state line in nevada, you were fine if you lived in if you're a japanese-american lived in chicago or denver or salt lake city, you could or wyoming. yes. yeah exactly the and and

. >> lbj, and his big majorities, fdr -- i don't know if fdr had to overcome any phil busters, i don't know if it was used that often in the 1930s. but when you look at the senate majorities during the new deal years and you wonder, how did fdr get this program through? 65, 70, sometimes 75 democratic senators. sometimes the new deal measured had to be amended to get them passed. blacks were excluted. >> domestic workers and agricultural workers. both from the wagner lakt, the labor relations act, representing to recognize unions when labors wanted it. the social security act, too. >> would you say the new deal is really the greatest moment in the democratic party's history. >> probably because it is the moment when the democratic party is more powerful. is really the majority party. no one really doubts it. and also is able to get in the major bills to create the kind of limited but real welfare state we still have. >> moral capitalism, the word you used. >> yeah, in that sense. again, some people say roosevelt saved capitalism because, after all, fascism was gaining in europe. you kn

so much that fdr was planning to pack the court. after fdr you have a long period where it kind of goes into a valley before you get back to the warren court. so we have these stretches where the court will fade from view and then you will have confirmation processes that are really easy and you can tell the presidents are not spending as much time trying to figure out who is going to be on the court. then you will have. 's where it rises -- preiods where it rises and we have been living through that. from the warren court forwarded has been a much more salient thing. your original question was what was the connection between the cases they take -- as the court rises in political salience, the background and the confirmation becomes more important. we are in a period where the court has continued to take hot button issues from the mid-1960's all the way through to now. susan: if partisanship and the confirmation process is one of the driving forces for a more and more elite nomination, why is the process so acrimonious? susan: -- pr

lbj and his big majorities fdr. i don't know if fdr had to overcome any filibusters. i don't know if the filibuster was used all that often in the 1930s, but when you look at the senate majorities during the new deal years and you wondering how did fdr get this program through 65 70 sometimes 75 democratic senators now some of those new deal programs had to be amended unfortunately to to get them past black people were excluded from some of them not specifically but yeah, it's right it was but it was a domestic workers. yes. i'm culture workers. that's right who are most of the both from the wagner act the national labor relations act, which held the government helped recognize unions when workers wanted it and the social security too everybody except those people. yeah. that's right. would you say the new deal is really the the greatest moment in the democratic party probably because it's the moment when democratic party is more powerful is really the majority party and nobody really doubts it and also is able to get in the major bills to create kind of limited but r

he was even reading a book called "the defining moment" which was about fdr's first 100 days.o be focused on not becoming the next herbert hoover, who was, of course, president at the beginning of the great depression. a budget indicates an administration's values. instead of focusing on these big kind of transformational social spending ideas, this budget focuses and kind of narrows in on reducing the deficit. that matters because it shows that the administration is really honing in and tuning in to the americans who are feeling the effects of inflation in their pocketbooks, and that's especially important we know during a midterm year. >> yeah. it is sort of a pretty centrist democratic budget that the white house put out yesterday. >>> let's switch now from matters fiscal to cultural. in particular the moment that will smith slapped chris rock on the oscar's stage sunday night. it stirred intense reactions online from everybody including a bunch of members from congress. tell us about that. >> yeah, that's right. i mean if you were watching it like i was, we know that no on

you have mary mcleod bethune vice president of the naacp on fdr's black cabinet. she likely would have been there this 1953 constitutional convention is first to welcome women, right? it was unlikely that women would have been invited to 1903. so in 1953, they get invited to and they come well represented in my story some of the arguments that they would have you you can imagine i have this interesting story about thurgood marshall being frustrated with the equal protection clause not being because of course, this is the the convention would have met before he argues for the second time, right? remember 1952 and then he argus brown versus board of education and then the supreme court asks them to re-argue in 1953, but not till december. the 1953 constitutional convention starts in may. i have him frustrated that the equal protection clause is not holding its weight. what are we going to do about that? one of the art one of the interesting debates would have been term limits for presidents and president in 1953. imagine. yes, it becomes an amendment to our 1787 con

we can imagine fdr standing behind the podium and responded to the attacks on pearl harbor. or we can think again most recently about the address that biden delivered last april. the last time we spoke to a joint session of congress. a small number of members of the congress were invited to sit socially distanced and masked because of covid. we think about how biden will deliver this address in this particular time, in this place that has held so many shared memories or visuals of what our democracy is going to stand for, we have those images in our mind and biden's challenge is to reference those images and put in historical perspective. to her the audience that they have the possibility -- remind the audience that they have the ability to change the course of history. >> we have had a year of the biden presidency, where is he successful in your view and where would you see improvement? >> i think he has been successful in the moments in which he will deliver pretty direct assessments of where we are in terms of covid, the global pandemic, thinking about his speech in respo

become this hallowed sanctum of democracy we can envision or imagine in previous moment for example, fdr standing behind that podium and respond to the attacks of pearl harbor, or we can think again most recently about the address that biden delivered last april 1 time that he spoke to a joint session of congress. it was notable because a small number of members of the congress were invited to sit socially distanced and mast because of covid. so as we think about how biden will deliver this address both at this particular time in u.s. history and a global pandemic and inat this place that has hed so many shared memories or visuals of what our democracy is in stands for, will have those images in our minds. ith think biden's challenge is o both reference those images, this time and this place and put in historical perspective and also remind the audience thater they have the potential the possibility to change the course of history and how we respond to our present moment. >> host: we've had about a year of the biden presidency, a year to listen to some of his speeches. where is he succes

to respond with other people said 25 years ago i can give you a litany of republicans to go back to fdrnd i'm notra sure if either side is historically very accurate. >> to questions. one of them come i keeppe hearing the keystone pipeline is the reason oil prices have increased. then i was hearing yesterday it was do to russia helping to increase the price of oil. the other question is on the keystone pipeline, my understanding is the pipeline was going to the indian reservation and they didn't want it and they sued and won the case sweat was to be denied access and that's what i'm trying to find out because i am hearing three or four different things. so if it lives illegal to go to the indian reservation for the pipeline and weou have to reroute that around oklahoma to get it to where we want to go if that is the case. and then the other thing then why can't we go around oklahoma quick. >> a couple of things. for your information i am native american i'm part of the chickasaw nation from oklahoma. they keystone pipeline with any controversy at all what you are referring to is a sue r

and then compared to joe biden to fdr.rative for republicans? >> of course they have. you and i would have been knocked out of our chairs three weeks ago, if we thought of any circumstance and which john cornyn of texas, a republican, would be comparing joe biden to fdr, the zeitgeist has changed. everyone who saw putin, everyone who made excuses for him, everyone who flirted with authoritarianism in this country, who is running for office this year and two years. i think is going to have to pay a very heavy price, and we will have to say, if you were for vladimir putin, what is wrong with your judgment? is that someone we can really interest the fate of american democracy? >> it is what the history books are going to write about. michael you're going to have their work cut out for you. thank you for joining us tonight. i really appreciate it. coming up ... he has taken the war stage -- world stage as a wartime leader. but he's been in the spotlight for years and years. the zelenskyy ukrainians knew first, when the 11th ho

he told fdr, give us the tools. we will finish the job. and u.s. think the british knew what they needed and ukrainians know what they need as well. >> in fact, when i was in munich at the security conference last month, the -- president zelenskyy was calling for exactly what churchill ways a talking about when he said that to fdr and we didn't deliver until after the invasion and that's part of the problem. they've out performed our expectations and from their complaint, nato and the u.s. did not come forward, hoping they could deter vladimir putin from this invasion. admiral, forbes is reporting the ukrainian army has more tanks than when the war started, partly because they've captured so many russian tanks. is that credible? >> it is entirely credible. and don't forget ukrainians know how to operate russian tanks, just like they know how to operate russian mig 29s, which in my opinion, we ought to figure out a way to put in their hands. just like they're using very capably the other weapons systems we're giving them, they can capture from the r

this president came in like an fdr with this grand vision. he fit in the lens of history? >> i think we'll know a lot more a year from now. this could be, i think, very much like ronald reagan in 1982. you know from studying it at least that reagan was in the middle of a deep reesession. reagan, when he had to face the midterms did very badly to the point many people at the time were saying many the republicans should get a different nominee in 1984. as it happened, the economy rebounded and won in one of the great land slides in history. in these divided times, i don't thing that's going to happen. >> we apologize there. there's a truck backing up behind us. this white house is history in motion. there's always things happening. let me ask you as you noted the president did not, it appeared, rewrite his entire speech. he wrote a robust section at the top and it prompted some remarkable moments of bipartisanship. everyone applauding. things you don't typically see at state of the union addresses. do you wish he'd spent more time on that topic

fdr's new ccc civilian con. they're up at bugle call. you're going you're gonna, you know you're doing a conservation tree planning, you know stocking ponds doing mountain roads these ccc men and some women they were working from bugle call all the way to the evening hard labor and i always wonder whether we do a climate core of young people today a lot of young people like well, i'm good to work that weekend, but then i need i leisure tie, you know, i've got to go meet my they all are like doing them, you know. they have all of their other issues if you're really going to do that climate core. you've got to make it so it's real public service like two years where you're up at the crack of dawn and working on, you know, wetlands rehabilitation or being being, you know working to prevent wildfires when in helping bird rehabilitation you can do that, but it's work. it's not just and i felt that job corps and some of these other programs we don't have the same grit that we used to have. i mean the ccc they work the

i can give you a litany of republicans they go back to fdr. don't think it is part equally productive. not sure either price is historically very accurate. >> to akron ohio james go-ahead. >> yes i have two questions for congressman cole. one of them i keep hearing the keystone pipeline is the reason the oil prices have increased. and yesterday it was due to russia helping to increase the price of oil that is one thing. the other thing was this from the keystone pipeline, my understanding is that that when him sued and won the case wants to be denied access anyway. that is what i am trying to find out. i'm hearing three or four different things. if this was illegal's width of reservation for the pipeline, we have to reroute the pipeline route oklahoma comment to get it to texas where we want to go. if that is indeed the case. then the other thing i would like to know about why can i go around oklahoma for your information i am native america, member of the chickasaw nation. the keystone pipeline actually in oklahoma there's not that any contro

a lot of traders are looking at this and saying if the fdr gets brought down maybe 180 million barrels down, that brings us down to 1984 levels of the strategic reserve and if there is an emergence where the strategic reserve needs to be topped, then it's going to be much harder for the biden administration to do that. there are these push and pull factors, but oil is up 33% this quarter. not only is the market very tight, but also is contending with the fact that the lack of russian barrels due to the war has brought up prices. haidi: we could see more pressure on xi jinping when he talks with eu leaders when it comes to china's positioning on the war. >> absolutely. that's what we expect the european president whether it's the commission president or also the european commission president, they will be meeting virtually with xi jinping and the premier into separate virtual meetings over the course of friday in china. clearly, china will want to get a gauge of the level of support that european nations have had toward sanctions that have been essentially led by the united states. chin

fdr was able to cement his alliance with other democrats by blocking antilynching laws come all of theasn't swept under the rug. to me, today, passing federal laws against lynching is like passing federal laws against which burning or against cannibalism, as opposed so theoretically, you could say it's occurring somewhere someplace, but it's hardly a national or social problem. there is a dementia here. it's not only doing this, but patting yourself on the back as if this is a courageous, more role stance. >> laura: at the snap shot, a point of conversation, but it's not -- in the biden administration. he is trailing trump by six points. kamala harris is trailing trump by 11 points. they are in a pickle. if he decides he's not going to run, probably won't run, it's going to be very difficult for them not to open the door to allow her to run. she's officially going to claim racism and sexism, and yet, she's wildly unpopular, and notes that she's going to change course to make yourself more popular. the democrats are in a pickle as pete buttigieg or senator dominic ted cruz just said, or

we can envision or imagine previous moments, fdr standing behind the podium, and responding to the attackspearl harbor. or we can think again most recently about the address biden delivered last april, the first time that he spoke to a joint session of congress, and it was notable because a small number of members of the congress were invited to sit socially distanced and masked because of covid. how biden will deliver this address, in a global pandemic and in this place that's held so many shared memories or visuals of water democracy is an stands for, we will have those images in our minds. i think biden's challenges to both reference those images this time and place and put it in historical perspective and also remind the audience that they have the potential, the possibility to change the course of history and how we respond to our present moment. >> in recent years, presidents have traveled and given another speech following the state of the union address to build on the momentum of the state of the union address. president biden is no exception, he's traveling to superior, wisconsin

they have never done work for this party or that party, they said fdr will win in the 1930's and movinguring america's tone. i want to know on the death of the liberal order, we have a reaffirmation of war in europe, not the liberal party or the left of the democrats but the sense of a liberal order coming out of world war ii, the end of the cold war, how have you pulled that in recent days? mohamed: there couldn't have been a better time to come out of the field with our last survey. we ask americans basically what role should america play in the world and what threats does it face? we came out of the field literally on the people of the invasion of ukraine. before any troops or tanks crossed the border, americans were pretty focused on this issue, more than we usually see. i can point to many metrics. just the favorability of brush at an all-time negative high. when you think about china as a focus of the united states, it is only 79% favorability. russia has outdone this. for context, russia had a favorable rating and when we asked who the greatest energy -- the greatest threat, chin

very much like how churchill approached fdr. >> two important points need to be made, and that is the changing dynamic in the story and that is that it appears the world is excepting the fact tha ukraine is going to survive in country and some form. they're will be a ukraine, but there were no longer be a vladimir putin. watch that story, and also the changing world order and alliance which is something we will get into in depth in the coming hour straight right now from the auditorium on capitol hill, speaker the nc pelosi.
