because we are outlining the green new deal and in the spirit of franklin delano roosevelt, we have theen new deal, and we have green new deal projects. the tennessee valley authority was a new deal project that was part of a larger vision. ger vis. today we are laying down with that larger vision is. so when people say, what about this, or what about that? the answer is, that is part of the solution. i hope you all see that. i hope y'all see the scope and scale, because the solution is not going to come from just one congresswoman from the bronx. it's not going to come just from one senator. it's going to come from all of our representatives as a country saying this is what iowa needs, this what virginia needs, this is what michigan needs, this what illinois needs, and this is what new york needs. when we have this threat that challenges all of us, the solution is going to take all of us, too. i want to reiterate my thanks to the advocates and the organizers who make this moment happen and created the political energy to be relevant and to put it at the top of the agenda, not the botto

other people are here that weren't playing a native american character, including franklin delano roosevelt, richard nixon, the famous union leader jimmy hoffa, cher. the reasons why people wore headdresses in these particular ways vary. again, what we're interested in showing is how people would never think in this context would end up wearing a headdress. through most of the country's history, it would seem like something that just made sense. when we talk about these representations surrounding americans throughout their lives, one of the most important ways is through movies and television. we have a section in this exhibition which really shows 100 years of these images, going from john ford's 1935 movie, stagecoach, all the way to the unbreakable kimmy schmidt and other contemporary television comedies. and everything in between. it's a little bit like the celebrities that end up playing an indian or wearing a headdress. kind of like chaka khan wearing an indian outfit. that comedy in the 60's and 70's had nothing to do with indians. they would routinely have some indian themed shows.

>> chair peskin: miss ferguson, they both hail from the same era, the progressive era of franklin delano roosevelt. maybe we can have the staff presentation and hear about the case reports for both items. obviously both of them are san francisco unified school district properties. i know the school district is here today, and of course there are other sfusd properties that benefit from landmark status, including but not limited to mission high. i believe there are others in addition to that. so feel free to present on both of them. >> yes. thank you. so both designations for theodore roosevelt middle school and sunshine school were community sponsored landmark designations. the landmark designations reports were prepared by plank historic preservation coordinating by donna graves with coordination provided by san francisco heritage and funding provided by the historic preservation fund committee. the h.p.c. initiated designation on october 18, 2017, and unanimously recommended landmark designation on december 6, 2017. the proposed designations recognized san francisco's progressive era and underre

in the spirit of franklin delano roosevelt, we have the green new deal and green new deal projects.: what you know about the safety issues, as well as environmental issues, should nuclear power be part of the green new deal? greg: i do not think it is a question of should, i think it is a question of can. if you look at what is happening, nuclear power cannot meet the goals of the clean new deal. when i was chairman, we licensed four new reactors in the country and if you look at those projects today, two of them have d the others are continuing to be built. if you look at the cost, it is $27.5 billion for two, not including the $9 billion for those canceled. so when you talk about nuclear, i look at the facts, and a sibley is not a technology that can scale up in a reasonable cost in the way that we need to really tackle environmental challenges, like climate change. david: does that make the entire goal of the green new deal suspect? can we get to a world of emission free without nuclear? i read that like 20% of existing power for homes and businesses comes from nuclear power righ

what franklin delano roosevelt did was make the post-world war bipartisannt a affair. woodrow wilson made it a democratic affair from the beginning. he was annoyed that the --ublicans unnecessarily roosevelt always included republicans. he worked very hard to get it through congress. wilson did not and that made a big difference. what i think made the big difference at the end of world war ii, was soviet union and how it was behaving in the center of your. they did not have that pressing fear after the first world war. >> to your left. treaty viewed by the other great power, the soviet union? was takenme, russia over by communists. view fromllan: the moscow, which was now becoming the worldl, was that was doomed anyway. did not think it would spark revolution. russia was simply sitting there waiting for the capitalist world to collapse. they did not really care what happened to germany all that much. when it became clear that the capitalist world was not about to collapse, they thought they might find common ground with germany. and they did make a couple of deals in t

>> well, i should also add that in 1944 this is exactly what franklin delano roosevelt talked about. he talked about jobs and health care and education as a human right to be guaranteed by the government. and what i'm talking about exists in many countries all over the world. you go to countries in scann scandinav scandinavia, college education is free. every other major country on earth guarantees health care to all people as a right. most countries have higher minimum wages than we do. so essentially what we are talking about is making sure that a vibrant democracy guarantees that all of our people can have a decent standard of living and that we do not have this grotesque level of income and wealth inequality where three people end up more than half of the country where a handful of billionaires can spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy elections. that's what the political revolution is about. that's what democratic socialism means to me. >> let me return to the venezuela case because it has been so used by conservatives in the u.s. on exactly this. you've been critical of

. >> the most effective messenger we ever had in our history on these issues was franklin delano rooseveltes," by many measures america is thriving. the economy is humming. high school graduation rates are at an all time high and teenage pregnancy rates are at an all time low. the crime rate is low and illegal immigration is down. but many think the country is on the wrong track. there's indicators we're healthier than ever. life expectancy is going down among certain groups of americans. but if you look at the state of the union, take washington, d.c. and politics out of it, there would be quite a few indicators things are picking up. >> there are some good indicators. when you look how most people experience the economy they weren't on that list. wages, wealth, those indicators don't look very good. how would most americans feel if you said hey the country is doing great but your wealth is going down. i don't feel so great. >> frankly, republicans and conservatives need to make a better counter argument to the elizabeth warren argument, to the alexandria occasio-cortez argument which is

the communications act was from 1934 under franklin delano roosevelt. i don't have flashcards to show you all but radio and telephone were the ones that were covered at the time under title 2 common carrier. in 1984 congress didn't amazing thing. we actually added another chapter, chapter 6 on cable. that was 10 years before the world wide web was even born. bell system was broke up at that time, macintosh, pcs and dell computers were just launched. mark zuckerberg was born that year, pagers and cell phones the size of bricks costing thousands of dollars. so i think we all understand it's time, right? the internet is not a fad. the fcc tried to legislate but that's always going to be ephemeral. always going to be pinconning back and forth between administrations so i think the most constructive thing we could do with our time is hear from everybody and develop a new chapter. it's time for congress to act. it's time to have a new chapter covering the internet with new rules for the 21st-century. but i reject this being used as a star tactic. it is time f
