the things he gets involved in, thus far, he has just -- when he compares his 100 days to franklin d. roosevelt's, which changed america for a generation, passed 76 laws through the congress in 100 days, it's unreal. >> you threatened to potentially say that, hey, this would shut down the government if he put the border wall funding in this funding bill. >> yes. >> did he bring that up with you personally. >> i don't think he ever did. i talked to him a few times during it. my position was clear. a month ago, we said the democratic kcaucus, don't put poison bipills in the bill to bw it up. top of the list was the border wall. no one is for it and it is another broken promise. what'd he say in the campaign? mexico will pay for the wall. he hasn't tried to get mexico to pay for the wall. the american people take that $50 billion if it'll cost that, you could put broadband in every household. which do you think the american people prefer? >> last, i would like one short answer to this question. who in the democratic party can beat president trump in 2020? >> lots of people. >> lots of people. one na

leading people in the house of representatives that led the fight against policies of president franklin d roosevelt that many people thought would inch the united states into world war ii. in the mid-1930s, congress passed a series of laws known as the neutrality laws which were designed to keep the united states from blundering into another european war. one of those laws was an arms embargo act. as soon as two nations went to war in europe, the united states would not sell arms or anything related to war to those countries. in early summer of 1939, just as boyd is getting his feet wet in congress, roosevelt asks for a repeal of the arms embargo and he led the fight in the house of representatives against that repeal and one. to the astonishment of everybody. and so that's when the press, the new york times, the coverage starts. he was named in an informal poll by correspondents who covered congress as the outstanding freshman congressman april 19, 1939. >> the attack on pearl harbor shook him up. it was not something that he had foreseen. and very quickly, within just a few months after pearl har

at franklin d roosevelt, who has become the modern day measuring stick. the first 100 days devoted to the starting of the wheels of the new deal. since then, the idea of the first 100 days has taken a life of its own. some try to gauge the success or failure of an administration on the actions conducted the first few months, while others view it as a chance for leaders to set the tone for the rest of their presidency. the first three months say little about a new president's achievements or his agenda. it is too short a time to achieve something lasting and meaningful. the first 100say days is a useless benchmark. michael from ohio. you are next. welcome to the program. caller: good morning. independent need an ethics department. we never hear anything out of them. when we do, it is usually on the weekend. if every news reporter did their job, 90% of these people would be in jail or prison. trump is in office now. he is not part of the old click that took us decades to get where we are. they are trying to bring us down to a third world country. we the peo

presidents who is in the room tonight, i am delighted to welcome all of you here to the home of franklin d roosevelt. one of them as you know, for gonna be talking about gubernatorial work today, we will of course new york state governor before he became president and his wife was a conscious of the empire state, just as she later became the conscious of the country in the world. was never afraid to confront, challenging and uncomfortable issues like the one will discuss this evening. even if it meant confronting her own husband, privately of course because this was the 1930s. i think you know as well the history of this amazing space. for those of you who come regularly, you know it was originally a wedding gift from franklin and eleanor from his mother, sarah. it came to them with one stipulation, sarah herself who moved in and stayed in residence well in new york city for the next 40 years. while the houses, technically there were two of them had separate doorways, one of the west for sarah and one on the east for franklin and eleanor, sarah quickly slice through the dining room which you will be

he has not kept his promises, he has not accomplished much and then he compares it to like franklin d. roosevelt. it's astounding. >> reporter: which is why the president spent part of this day talking up carol handle, locked in a tight race for georgia, potential bellwether presidential election that could spell trouble for the upcoming mid terms if the democrats win. >> she's totally for the nra and for the second amendment so get out and vote. >> now, as for the wall, the president said it will be easy to complete that project. it should be noted he was unable to secure funding for the wall and white house secretary sean spicer reiterated the president would not be attending the corresponde correspondents dinner tomorrow night. he'll be holding a rally tomorrow and i think we can expect more incendiary compare rhetoric, as we heard today as he went after elizabeth warren, it's a reminder we live in unusual times. >> thank you. we're live in north korea where officials tell our correspondent will ripley the threat of war with the united states is imminent. will is on his 12th visit to north ko

the whole point of the 100-day metaphor comes out of franklin d. roosevelt. it really is a metaphor about the fact that when a president begins, he has more credibility and more public support than he's ever going to have again. and also, when he has both houses of congress that is his party, i mean, you've got everything going for you. and i'm sorry, because i think that what donald trump has done is essentially squander these first 85 to 100 days. not only has he lost on every major battle, repealing obamacare, he can't even afford the wall, and his muslim ban is held up in court. he's just filled the airwaves with lies. lies about fraudulent votes, 3 million to 5 million, completely unsubstantiated. lies about obama spying on him. ethics violations. this russian connection where -- >> okay. >> i mean, the problem is you asked the question that is almost -- i mean, what would i say? he got somebody through to the supreme court. well, okay. good. >> lifetime appointment of a 49-year-old justice. jeffrey lord, you served in the reagan white house. reagan, of

i am no liberal democrat, so i'm not necessarily enthusiastic about all of the stuff that franklin d roosevelt did when he got elected and the democrats got a solid majority, and eventually obtained, not as quick as roosevelt would've liked, but obtained a majority compliance from the supreme court. i'm not crazy about the stuff he did, given how bad the crisis was a night economic crisis was quickly followed by war, we could have wound up with a truly crazy leader at that time. in fact a book was written about that supposing that limburg, one of the most popular and pro- nazi americans around, what if he had become president. we dodged a bullet on that. this one i found particularly surprising because i did not really feel, i knew we're facing a lot of disgruntlement and a lot of frustration with government. i did not realize the feelings ran so deep as to say hey we tried smarts. let's try something else. [laughter] i have to say a lot of trump supporters that i talked to, this is partly because of where you live in rural new england. i do not run into a bunch of xena folds or bigots, i ran

lincoln,n, ethically definitely franklin d roosevelt did there are others who were very good. truman, onesevelt, or two others. i know warren harding always comes out on this side of the pond is being one of the worst. that is just an outsider's perspective on it. host: we will look at the international relations category. franklin delano roosevelt is at the top of the list. george washington, abraham lincoln, james monroe which we mentioned earlier. george h.w. bush, ronald reagan, richard nixon. any response to our caller from the u.k.? guest: just on the international front, there is richard nixon making himself in that list as he was good at geopolitical thinking and the breakthrough with china in 1972 was a giant accomplishment. that, ather hand of disastrous war in southeast asia . it does a lot of damage to his relations. it's interesting to see lincoln is able to make that list. the big three constantly, lincoln, franklin roosevelt. i would add theodore roosevelt. numbermost ironed in at four. he built the big navy. he did the panama canal. he named the white house the

president franklin d. roosevelt believed that the great depression was caused in part by competition among companies. in 1933, congress passed the national industrial recovery act which allowed the president to approve fair competition standards for different trades and industries. the next year, roosevelt approved a code for the poultry industry which among other things set a minimum wage for maximum hours for workers and hygiene requirements for slaughter houses. such basic workplace protections against restraints in the free market are now taken for granted. but in 1935, after a new york city slaughter house operator was convicted of violating the poultry code, the supreme court called into question the whole approach of the new deal by holding that the nira was an unconstitutional delegation by congress of a legislative power. only congress can create rules of the poultry code, the justices said, because congress did not defund fair competition, leaving the rule making to the president, the nira violated the con
