initially his plans were to donate his papers to the franklin delano roosevelt library museum only becausehe had a close association in the senate. president slider in professor stanley impress upon him that he would have his own stand-alone museum and library. he had a connection to the local area in his law office located in perry florida. his wife mildred is buried here in tallahassee and on his way up to his sessions in congress he would stop off in tallahassee to spend time with her. he had many connections to tallahassee and so that coupled with the fact that he was head his own stand-alone museum and library sort of appeal to his ego a little bit honestly and he decided to donate his papers to florida state. apart from the museum which is the first thing visitors see when they walk and we do have a reading room. when we go into the reading room we have some materials from the senate and congressional days. we are currently in the claude pepper meeting room. this is our space for researchers to come and view the collection as well as the other political collections housed here at the

delano was from a good yeoman stock family that was less -- he was an ancestor of franklin delano rooseveltfrom one of the less successful branches of the delano family. and he, he came from a family of shipbuilders and fishermen and that, he came off age during the american revolution. he was born in the last year of the seven-year -- the french and indian war which was kind of precursor, set the stage for u.s. independence. and he was in some ways a melvillean character in the sense that the a the revolution catapulted him into history. the american revolution which he ran away when he was a teenager to participate in, he went from one add vebture to -- adventure to another, but he could never quite redeem the promise that the revolution, you know, suggested. and he did for a little built, in his very first sealing voyage in the 1790s. sealing was the u.s.' fest experience -- first experience with boom and bust. ships start leaving new england and heading into the south pacific, and they're taking tens of thousands -- >> blubber also or skins? >> skins because they had perfected a techniq

franklin delano roosevelt about some ozer nicaragua he may be here and so he but he's our. well these people in crimea are not the was still be there are normal people who are not on the side of american descent so this is why all of a sudden they can do something that terrorists in kosovo could so it's clear with a double standard there's nothing else you can follow. ukraine's post-coup authorities are stepping up their offensive on the descent that's gaining the mentum in the south and east the recent attention of the former governor of the region who's going to have bishan for the presidency follows a string of rapid arrests of protest leaders now peter all of it looks at how the new ukrainian authorities are themselves acquiring a taste for cracking down i out in defiance of what they see as the occupation of their country the east of ukraine has seen lunch groups demonstrating against the new authorities in kiev even going so far as to appoint their own officials however a new gonski that's about to crack down from the authorities. it's not just. their way into an admi

like a hard core new york state prison and up slinky wall street law firm where president franklin delano roosevelt once practiced law. i have been to a corner cafe in new york city where i met and interviewed a stranger that i track down on facebook. i have learned more than i ever thought i was capable of learning. i have met people i never would have met, and i have gotten to do a lot of relief on things like being here tonight. this is such an honor for me on my campus with my colleagues and students and former students. it is a real pleasure to be here, and i'm thrilled. all of these good things happen to me because i did one small fang, i asked question. have you ever found yourself in a situation where you don't know what to do next? you have questions that you don't have answers. this could be when your boss gets you a project that you are responsible to complete. you're not sure what to do or an assignment to your professor gives you and your little lost and not sure what the first up with the next step should be. anyone ever been in a situation? there have been many, many, many times. why

the math that franklin delano roosevelt put in place 75 years ago doesn't work anymore and unfortunately we have today's young adults the so-called millennial generation who are having a lot of trouble getting started in life because they have, of age in a hostile economy. they are paying money into a system to support a level of benefits for today's retirees that they have no realistic chance of getting when they themselves retire. so there needs to be a rebalancing of the social compact. it's a very important challenge and it's a very difficult challenge for this country politically. not only is social security and medicare half of our budget it's by far the biggest thing we do, but it's symbolically the purest statement in public policy that is the country we are community all in this together. these are programs that affect everybody and the old math of these programs doesn't work. if you start from ida and you come to today it's -- host go ida got a mop up our money adventure but in the system. today's baby boomers, what's it like for them? >> guest: if you look at social security a

if it had not been for franklin delano roosevelt and the actions that he took in the late 1930's, wewould have had even a worse time after pearl harbor. it is up to the president of the united states to inform the american people of what our vital national security interests are. and that does not mean involvement in another. but we cannot leave the world because the world won't leave us. so the president of the united states, rather than announcing that if the russians go any further, there will be punishment for it, the president of the united states needs to go before the american people and say, here's what we're facing. we're facing what senator -- what my friend from south carolina, senator graham, just talked about -- the rise of al qaeda across the middle east, the failure in syria, which is thousand becoming a breeding ground -- now becoming a breeding ground for islamic extremism, the chinese assertiveness in the south china sea, the iranian talks which are -- quote -- "failing," and of course this latest and most outrageous aggression committed by vladimir putin. the world

i think about that meeting between franklin delano roosevelt, joseph stalin, and winston churchill. the three leaders who were the central players in the european at the for the world war ii. and they met at yalta. it's ironic to me that yalta is in the crimea. putin has annexed not only annexed the crimea, he annexed yalt itself, the very place where those three leaders took a map of the world, of asia and europe and drew a line on that map and west of the line, after the war was over they planned that they would defeat this nazi germany that has marched through these country this is a i have described, they planned to defeat nazi germany, they were going to invade and occupy all of the countries from the east on the russian side from the west, the allied side, who by that time we were -- he was just -- by that time it was just post battle of the bulge which ended ear he end of january in 1945. so they decided they were going to carve up europe if the war ended and vict -- ended in victory for them, the russians were going to take half of germany, we know where that line was, it be

this is from franklin delano roosevelt, during the great depression. and he laid out this test. it's on the roosevelt memorial here, it's etched into the granite stone there. and it's this. the test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little. it's how i like to frame the issues. and i think we can frame the president's budget that way. and also this way. those of you that have seen us here on the floor, mr. tonko and myself, we often and usually talk about this issue of making it in america, rebuilding the great american middle class by rebuilding the manufacturing sector of america. 20 years ago, actually 24 years ago, it was about 20 million, 19-plus million americans were in that manufacturing sector. they were making everything from wine to automobiles and jet planes and even computers. and then we lost it. maybe 11 million right now. we're beginning to see the rebuilding of the manufacturing base and along with that we'll see the american middle class rise up once again an

especially our desendants from imgrants and tsh-immigrants and revolutionists, president franklin delano roosevelt, the land flourished because it was fed from so many sources, because it was nourished by so many cultures and traditions and people. president lyndon baines johnson, everywhere immigrants have enriched and strengthened the fabric of american life. president john f. kennedy who never strayed away from his strong, irish heritage. then of course in women's history month i am a beneficiary of the american people's generosity and i hope we could have comprehensive immigration legislation that allows this country to continue to be enriched by those who were not born here. former u.s. secretary of state madeline albright. sheila jackson lee, a descendent of jamaican immigrants, my grandmother and grandfather came by way of the panama canal. today i can go to the panama canal and see my grandfather's name etched there for he worked with his hands to build the panama canal. and then the family traveled with suitcases to south carolina and ultimately made a life, made a life in this great nati

truly share a strategic partnership that goes way, way back, to avoid the uss quincy when franklin delano roosevelt and king abdullah sees met together sort of at the end of world war ii. there was a lot of things in the press about differences of view between ourselves a saudi raid on a variety of regional issues. there's no doubt that we have differences over the course of the years. i think a lot has been made about some anonymous comments that come out about the u.s.-saudi tension. i have spent over five years working partly under your leadership, have visited saudi arabia dozens of times and i could say that that partnership goes well beyond my intelligence portfolio, in the economic and the trade and the security and the diplomatic front. president obama is going out to saudi arabia to underscore just how important that relationship is. he stays in very close touch with king abdullah and other members of the saudi government. and so this is something that yes, there are may be differences of view, but what we are committed to do is ensure that we have a very robust and private dialogue about

franklin delano roosevelt about some most or nicaragua he made and so he but he's our us of the well these people in crimea are not the worst still be their normal people who are not on the side of america in this sense so this is why i was sudden they can't do something that terrorists in kosovo could so it's clear with a double standard there's nothing else you can follow. how do you see it how do you see this well a pan out of crimea was to leave ukraine and become independent or later join russia well the west interfere to stop that from happening when the west usually let someone else do with speeding it's dirty work usually they do this by proxy but the informal yugoslavian tonight they actually didn't put boots on the ground until the so-called peace summons were reached so unfortunately don't probably try to turn ukrainians against russians ukrainians against ukrainians russians against russians this is the way the west does of course with a little bit of help from their friends jihad terrorists etc this is something to think your world i'm afraid they're going to try to do t
