franklin delano roosevelt made that decision, as well.n 1988, the united states repudiated that decision. we not only apologized to japanese-americans, we paid reparations to japanese-americans because that was the wrong decision based on polling. >> let me get renee. i want to know what you think about this. >> my concern is that people are really nervous about this whole process. it's not what you say, it's how you say it, and that's a big thing, and i think -- and i'm going with senator toomey. i think we have to look at the process. 47 democrats went against the president and said we have to wait and look at this whole process and make sure that we have everything in order, everything in place, and i think that's what needs to happen. >> but my fear is that they went against the president out of their own political calculation because of the polls, because those democrats who switched are not in safe seats. >> and it works. >> you know i know. >> yeah, yeah. >> you know i know. >> it works -- the strategy. >> that's right. well, we kn

but we remember franklin delano roosevelt, you have nothing to fear but fear itself. we should not be operating out of anything but determination, and i don't see a countering of our basic values of liberty and freedom, and the basic tenants of civil liberties, as a detriment to securing and ensuring the security of the american people. we have made great strides with 9/11, and i think that we can do both. >> well, that's just the question, isn't it? where to draw that line. are there things that you've heard during your time as a member of the house, you're a veteran member, and your career spans the post-9/11 era that didn't sit right with you? yes, i understand that they want to do this, but it sounds too much? >> well, it was the judiciary committee that interestingly enough, a very very broad and fair response to 9/11, with respects to restraints than put in place. and unfortunately, that bill got altered before it went to the floor, but subsequently, we have handled the usa patriot act. and we have kept in place, for undue search and seizure, and it's not perfec

it was the time of franklin delano roosevelt, and their explicit references to the new deal, it is clear he was setting up jackson as a predecessor to his hero and his time. now, people always do that whenever we are talking about history we are talking about then and now. you could accuse me of the same thing, i suppose because i'm thinking about changing america and i find a completely different story/injected, but i would argue that this version where you include indian removal, confront jackson as a slave owner is the more honest. the more honest representation and one that he himself would have been comfortable with because he was not very private about any of this stuff. >> you touched on just a minute ago the similarities between jackson and jefferson. and some historians will tell you that the real author of the indian removal policy was not jackson but thomas jefferson. >> much that is correct about that. quoting by jefferson. he was fined to his credit if they chose to become citizens. he felt it was the right

just weeks later president franklin delano roosevelt signed an xwv order which placed people of germannationality under special restrictions and required them to register for a special certificate of identification. now you know the history of internment camps where the american government rounded up people and put them into camps. the crack down didn't start with the camps. it started with new rules like curfews and instructions about who was allowed to go where and when and young lawyer minoro yasui saw what was happening and decided he would act to try to stop it by breaking his own local curfew on purpose. >> on march 28th, 1942, yasui set out to become a test case. what happened that day? >> actually about 8:00 i told my secretary to be sure to call the portland police, the fbi to tell them a jap was walking up and down third avenue in violation of the military curfew order. so i walked the street two or three, four times as i recall, that evening trying to get arrested. >> reporter: after three hours yasui finally walked to portland police headquarters and found a cooperative des

biden, because mum's the word, the democrats have decided that franklin delano roosevelt, one of hisachievements--the 1938 federal minimum wage law--was never to be discussed in this campaign. elizabeth warren is not allowed to discuss it. joe biden is not allowed to discussed it. george miller doesn't discuss it publicly. he put in a bill under our stress just for pro forma. never had a press conference. nancy pelosi doesn't discuss it. richard trumka of the afl doesn't discuss it. and the minimum wage today adjusted for inflation, as i mentioned, would put tens of billions of dollars at ten bucks an hour--tens of billions of dollars in people's hands to jump-start for the recessionary economy. biden could have skewered ryan, and he was muzzled because obama doesn't want to discuss this because he might be accused of being against small business, who he's given 18 tax breaks by his own admission on the first debate. 18 tax breaks, and 2/3 of all low-income workers are employed by 50 large corporations, like wal-mart and mcdonald's, whose ceos get an average of $10 million a year. an

and when he died, franklin delano roosevelt proclaimed he should lie beneath the mast of the "maine" until poland was free. this ture rhett hret has the nal the soldiers. but padrewski lay here. we would see his casket on a gurney directly beneath the mast in this turret. now, in 1899 december 28th they repatriated 170-plus remains from cuba of sailors that had died in the "maine" had been interred and mostly unknown over half of them unknown attributing to the fact that this explosion was horrific, so horrific that four were in one casket. now, we know who that is, right? theodore roosevelt. that's leonard wood. and that is 5'2" fighting joe wheeler confederate general who put on the blue in the spanish-american war and fought alongside these gentlemen against the spaniards. he was said to have in the heat of battle said, now, let's go get them damn yankees. oops. spaniards. okay. and he created a huge stir in the south when -- he died in 1906. he decided he wanted to be buried in arlington with his union friends and, boy, that set up a howl among the south. joseph wheeler born sept

president franklin delano roosevelt was commander in chief in 1938 who signed the executive order tojapanese americans after the bombing of pearl harbor. it was under his watch that we denied a safe haven to jewish refugees fleeing the horrors of nazi violence. in 1939, more than 900 jewish refugees traveling aboard the ss st. louis sought refuge in cuba, the ship was forced to journey back to europe where more than a quarter of the passengers died in the holocaust. the supposed fear was nazi spies were among them. 75 years later, the fear is that isis terrorists could infiltrate the syrian retchy program. joining me now is the senior fellow at the carnegie council for ethics and international affairs and at the world policy institute and author of "muslims of metropolis." and back at the table is david rothkopf. good morning. let's talk about syria and the refugees coming out of syria. how -- is there a way to get a handle on the magnitude of this crisis? >> right now, the unhtr is saying approximately 12 million people have been displaced from their homes. and about 4 million peopl

on what building franklin delano roosevelt says when he fought for guaranteed economic rights for all americans. it builds on what martin luther king jr. said in 1968 when he "this and i quote -- country has socialism for the rich and rugged individualism for the poor."

attached to colored regulars, it is in 1939 when the first peacetime draft is implemented by franklin delano roosevelt. you get african descent persons drafted who don't know what they are doing. they say they don't want to be associated with them. so we are going to put a patch with a buffalo on it and call ourselves the flow soldiers---- buffalo soldiers. so they are victims of the lost story.

it means building on what franklin delano roosevelt said when he fought for guaranteed economic rights for all americans. it is built on what martin luther king jr. said in 1968 when he stated, and i quote, this country has socialism for the rich and rugged individualism for the poor, and of quote. [applause]. my view of democratic socialism builds on the success of many other countries around the world. who have done a far better job than we have in protecting the needs of their working families, their elderly citizens, their children, their sick, and their port. democratic socialism means that we must reform a political system which is corrupt, that we must create an economy that works for all, not just the very wealthy. democratic socialism in my mind speaks to a system which, for example during the 1980s -- i want you to hear this, allowed wall street to spend $5 billion over a ten-year period in lobbying and campaign contributions in order to get deregulated. they wanted the government off of their backs, they wanted to do what ever they wanted to do, spent $5 billion over a ten-y

in his inaugural address in the midst of the great depression, president franklin delano roosevelt lookedut at the nation in the midst of this terrible depression, and this is what he saw and this is what he talked about in his inaugural. he saw tens of millions of people denied the basic necessities of life. he saw millions of families trying to live on incomes so meager that the pall of family disaster hung over them every single day. he saw millions of his fellow americans denied education, recreation and the opportunity to better their lot and the lot of their children. he saw millions lacking the means to buy the products they needed and by their poverty, by their lack of disposable income, denying employment to many other millions, because when you don't have money to spend, you are not creating jobs for other people. he saw one-third of a nation ill-hadsil ill-housed, ill-clad, and ill-nourished. and he acted. against the ferocious opposition of the ruling class of his day, people he called the economic royalists, roosevelt implemented a series of programs that put millions of amer
