president franklin roosevelt and prime minister winston churchill. these are men who are willing to commit their countries to a long, bloody conflict act in the name of freedom to support the freedom and independence of their own homelands, but to support freedom and democracy for other people around the world. they combine that with a deep humility. they believe that our countries had to be worthy spiritually and morally of the victory. they were asking god to grant us. so on january 1st, 1942, president roosevelt and mrs. roosevelt came here to christchurch with prime minister winston churchill. lord halifax, the british ambassador and lady halifax and others in their party to commemorate what roosevelt had called for the national day of prayer. and they prayed for three things. they prayed for strength in the coming conflict. they prayed for a just peace and above all, they prayed for forgiveness of our national of our national sins so that we would be worthy of the victory. they were asking god to grant us and that combination of of the willingne

so by 1768, he actually he dines of benjamin franklin evening and franklin refers to him as a friend of america. so by 1768, franklin thinks, he's on the american side of the imperial crisis. he argues that american are entitled to push for a total repeal the townsend act, not just a partial repeal. there's also a very revealing essay letter or a speech. he writes in 1769, which is probably a draft speech of him considering running for public office, not clear if it's parliament or some local. but in that speech, at least, he calls britain's treatment of the colony is pernicious. so he's openly critical of the of britain's treatment of the colonies thinks it's too heavy handed handed of a manner the way they're dealing with the american colonies during the imperial crisis. the person with whom gates has the correspondence about the imperial crisis and sort of most clearly espouses the radic whig ideologies of the john hale was a who's a hero from the of the plains of abraham thath had served with gates in nova scotia. and he and gates are kind of on the same page politically, where t

we have a memory of franklin roosevelt 40 years ago.said there are times in our history would concern over our personal lives is overshadowed by concern about what will happen to the country we have known. thisn is such a time. -- this is such a time. [cheers and applause] i can tell you that the choice to make history here can transform our personal lives and in the lives of our country as well. during the last presidential campaign, i listen to thousands and thousands of people. teachers, small business leaders, workers, the elderly, the poor, people of every race, every background, and every walk of life. it was an experience of total embarrassment in the human reality of america. -- total immersement in the human reality of america. being president of the united states of america, let me talk about what that job is like. i have learned that only the most difficult tasks come before me in the oval office. there are no easy answers because there are no easy questions. i have learned that for a president, experience is the best guide t

would you rather quote herbert hoover or franklin delano roosevelt?lause] would you rather quote richard nixon or john fitzgerald kennedy? [applause] the republicans have always been the party of privilege. but this year, their leaders have gone even further. in their platform, they have repudiated the best physicians of their own party. where is the conscience of lincoln in the party of lincoln? what has become of the traditional republican commitment to fiscal responsibility? what has happened to their responsibility? i don't claim perfection for the democratic party. i don't claim every decision we have made has been right were popular. certainly, they have not all been easy. but i will say this, we have been tested under fire, we have neither docked nor hidden -- ducked nor hidden. [applause] when we have tackled the great central issues of our time, the historic challenges of peace and energy, which had been ignored for years. we have made tough decisions and we have taken the heat for them. we have made mistakes and we have learned from them. bu

what franklin delano roosevelt ever called boss when franklin delano roosevelt was assistant secretary of the navy josephus daniels, and promoted roosevelt in force, reward was appointed ambassador mexico during the aftermath of the mexican revolution, where he urged a very conciliatory approach to nationalization of american property and american oil companies, where he urged the mexican to authorize visas for -- fleeing europe and where he advocated he privately abdicated the states should arm the spanish republic, but at a minimum that mexico should open its doors to refugees. the spanish republic, a liberal liberal liberal in 1898, as a young newspaper editor, josephus daniels personally incited the racist pogrom that that in wilmington, north carolina that destroyed black political power. the state of north carolina killed maybe 60 people, may dozens homeless and he did it knowing the full malice of what he was doing. and he remained to his less forcefully in later years than at the beginning. a segregationist so how do you understand this? now, one way to understand it is he was

franklin mckinley says they've been operating under these circumstances for years. this is not new to our schools and our families. we serve a population of immigrant families. and so this has always been a fear that ice, you know, has an impact on on those families. there are 11 million immigrants in california making up one third of the state's workforce. supporters of the president say those who are here legally have no reason to be concerned. the state attorney general says he sued the trump administration 120 times during his last term over a host of issues, and says he's ready to do it again if necessary. damian trujillo nbc, bay area news. a dubai investor has just pledged to invest billions of dollars into creating data centers in the u.s. president elect trump announced the investment during a press briefing today. he says dubai development company damac properties has pledged at least $20 billion to building these centers. the project will take place in texas, arizona, oklahoma, louisiana, ohio, illinois, michigan and indiana. mr. trump says it's all about

churchill franklin roosevelt. gandhi. david ben-gurion and mao zedong. very different ideologies coming from very different systems, very different histories. but all trans formed. and we're going to be talking about why you chose them, how you would them. we've got some specific questions on some of those folks. and then of i will ask you to take a look to the present and into the future on what will prove to be the transfer formative titans, if there are any of the 21st century. i'd like start off of by welcoming you to the institute but by asking you a question. titans of the 20th century. why did the 20th century produce these titans and how did you define the characteristics that made them subjects for your book. well thank thank you ambassador satterfield. thank you all for coming. thanks to the baker institute for making this possible. and to our c-span viewers for tuning in, i wrote this book for two reasons. first, i wanted to remind or in some cases, in form readers about just who these titanic were in their day. they dominated the world's head

benjamin franklin is there, and franklin wants a constitution. and this is the last day. and there are some people who are not going to sign the document. what franklin says is, essentially,, you know, have some self-doubt about your own righteousness. about your own clarity, your own moral clarity, right? admit that you might possibly be wrong, and other people might be right. and if you do that you will sign the document. i'd like that. that was an element of liberalism. host: let's hear from david in memphis, tennessee on our line for democrats. good morning, david. caller: hi. good morning. esther buckley, i think you are muddying the waters, and that disturbs me. i would have to read your book to confirm it, but my understanding is that any word that ends in ism, means it has an over-emphasis. communism is an over-emphasis on the collective. capitalism is an over-emphasis on the expectation of capital. you have some theory that i also liked. well, truman and kennedy were nationalists and militarism characterized their budget plans. what they were not isolationists, t

ben franklin is there. james madison, of course, of virginia is there. i'm it would have been very hard to have imagined the philadelphia convention ultimately in terms of its ability to kind of secure some level of support without george washington's support. washington being someone that was widely he was the american sense that he was someone who had laid down power when he had the opportunity to take it up. so if you were worried this turning into, you know, a power play, power grab, something sort of anti populist in that sense, then presumably washington's presence his support from it would give you some comfort, right? some of pause that in fact, that isn't what it was all about. so there are some attendees there. alexander hamilton, of course, as i said, he wasn't able to stay the of the time, but nonetheless, is there. not to mention him as kind of the. sort of leading among a group of sort new nationalists, if you put yourself into that meeting in philadelphia, if you were there in independence hall or pennsylvania state house, you say washingt

>> yeah, during franklin i was able to save a couple homes. unfortunately wasn't able to save any on this one. the community is going to need a lot of support. most of these houses that burned in malibu will be a nightmare to rebuild. there's permitting issues. it takes maybe a decade, sometimes even more. so a lot of a lot of people lost everything. and it's going to change the community for a long time to come. so yeah, everyone needs to get together and help out and just do do good for other people and their neighbors. and i think everyone with these fires now should really prepare and get their houses ready to get ready to evacuate. and if they, you know, water your house down, make sure you take the steps to do what you can to make sure your house is safe. yeah. and don't be frantic. stay calm, stay collected, and just be confident with your exit plan. >> you know, firefighters are working 24 over seven, as you know, to put out these fires. but what do you want to see in the government's response? what do these next few days even look lik

roosevelt said no more, franklin, this man has to go. so across the street to the blair house, they created this guesthouse, which still today is the president's guesthouse, where if you were a guest of the president of the united states, you're invited to visit him here in washington. he will allow you to stay at the blair house, which is run by the department of state. now, many visiting delegations will prefer to stay at their ambassador's residence here or in a hotel if their delegation is large. but traditionally, the blair house is where they stay. you'll always know that there is used. that place is also used for incoming presidents on inauguration weekend. they'll stay there the night before. and then the families of deceased presidents, when they have the beautiful state funerals here in washington, the families will come and be welcomed by the president to stay at blair house as well. but to answer your question, visiting heads of state heads of government will, at the invitation of the president, stay at blair house traditiona

the i have a dream speech that the kennedy inaugural came in ahead of every speech by franklin delano roosevelt. every speech by ronald reagan in that way was the greatness, the eloquence in the speech was recognized at the time one of the most important journalists of, the 20th century. james reston wrote in the new york times, two days after the inaugural, he said, everybody praised from conservative republicans to the communists in moscow which is quite a distance. he said the speech was remarkable and then explained this was a revolutionary document. it was not only but moralistic and even religious. and it was taken at face value proposal, not merely we get going, but we'd transforming our national. they are times included. excerpts from editorial from newspapers all around the nation and they all agreed. the san francisco chronicle called it a trumpet call whose. notes could be recognized everywhere. the washington post said mr. kennedy set a high standard of content and oratorical performance. the new orleans, an item called the inaugural a testament and about as good a start a

president who ranks right up there with some of the best from the 20th century like lyndon johnson, franklinoosevelt. we did massive investment in infrastructure. i sat there under donald trump. we had infrastructure weeks, infrastructure month, infrastructure barbecue but never had at infrastructure bill. joe biden sent it to us his first week in office we passed it in the first month a $1.2 trillion investment in the roads , the highways, bridges, ports, airports, rail, trail, cyber security, rural broadband you name it. it really set the tempo by an administration that had huge breakthroughs like with the chips and science act in the semiconductor industry, the inflation reduction act which was not only the most massive investment in climate action in world history but also dramatically reduced prescription drug prices in the country. i can see that it had a terrible name because he didn't capture everything that was going on. [laughter] but look, joe biden and kamala harris oversaw huge growth in the economy, more than 16 million new jobs created, the lowest unemployment in the last 50 y

the primary concern at this point is getting the people that are in this franklin avenue neighborhood, specifically out of harm's way. and there it is north vista street hillside avenue. and there are a number of other streets as well. coming up, amero street, all of under imminent threat, not only of active flame, but again, as the retired captain. just explain the amber cast that come off a lot of these palm trees. we just saw one go up a few moments ago and it goes up in a matter of seconds and the wind is s enough here. it is n what we sawstnight, but be warned and understand that the wind is certainly enough in this situation punh this fire down into that neighborhood and quickly overwhelm the resources, of course, there on the ground. and in there you see m structure protection. firefighters are are in the neighborhood now and the water drops continue again, that hollywood reservoir not far off and all they've got 2 helicopters that are able retrieve water from the reservoir. so their turnaround time to get a matter of minutes, they're so able to to make good quick work. but thi

but now, dahl elementary is one of five schools on a list of potential closure in san jose's franklin mckinley school district. this is the only school that's been named after a hero, right? especially someone who passed away on such an historic day for us. and so to have to close the school would just break our hearts. for parent charmaine pollack, it's even more personal because of her two foster children. dahl is what's known as a trauma skilled school. the boys have emotional and trauma prior to me taking care of them, and they have come a long way within the last year. bottom line, with the district losing 40% of its student body since 2011, cuts are necessary. but in a statement, the district said no final decision has been made. but if captain jason m dahl elementary is selected for closure, we remain deeply committed to honoring and celebrating the legacy of captain dahl, a hero who will always hold a special place in our community. still tonight, emotions remain high at a school named for a san jose native many see as an american hero. damian trujillo nbc, bay area news. stil

pepperdine wa where the franklin fire was just last month, where so much of malibu burned. we talked to an l.a. fire captain. he said the only thing that stopped this fire now, the palisades fire from going further into malibu was the burn scar from the franklin fire. but home after home after home destroyed. and this is what we're seeing on pch right now. this iconic highway showcasing the california coast on both sides of the street, homes and businesses gone. but then we see pockets like these homes here that aretill standing. there's not a lot of rhyme or reason of why something is standing and something isn't. but what we do know is that so many homes and properties and families are destroyed by this reporting in malibu. brittany, hope back to you. thank you. brittany. let's bring in our meteorologist, vianey arana and vianey. we're not seeing those hurricane force winds that we saw like tuesday night. winds have died down a little bit, but they could just pick right back up this red flag warning extended now. that's right. and it wouldn't surprise me if it got extende

entire purpose of the social security system crafted by frank on roosevelt nearly nine years ago -- franklin roosevelt nearly nine years ago. social security's for retirees and survivors and millions of americans. we have all heard stories like the one that betty share today. employees, public secretaries, nurses and many more, many working second jobs often just because they need to make ends meet. of all that have existed and denied social security benefits by thousands of dollars per year. that denial of benefits also applied to surviving spouses of public service employees. benefits cut that cost them security and a little bit of dignity as well. joining us today is a 17-year-old from texas. where is he? come here.

so former presidents who actually won in huge landslides like ronald reagan, lyndon johnson and franklint couldn't possibly have won as many votes as even losing candidates do now because of the voting population at that time was so much smaller. post-election polls showed voters in conflict with themselves. 79% of voters said lowering prices of goods and services was their top priority. 52% of voters said they favored new tariffs on goods imported from other countries. 59% of voters said that new tariffs on goods from other countries would generally make the prices of the things they buy higher. the congressional budget office agrees with those 59% of voters who said new tariffs will increase prices. the congressional budget office estimates the new tariffs donald trump has proposed would cost american families an average of $1,560 a year. but the cbo inflation calculations did not include imported electronics. and virtually all of our electronics are imported. that is a category that would face the highest price increases, as much as 60% price increases. republicans showed no consisten
