that would shock franklin roosevelt. sevelt's notion of the legal, moral and political right to collect pensions based on what you pay into the pension fund. now i think francis perkins would take a broader view of this whole subject and while looking at social security retirement benefits, she would notice today that we have many other ways, the federal government, subsidizes retirement in this country that did not used to exist, including very big tax breaks that the rich get and others get for self-funding their own personal retirement funds. i.r.a.s, keo plans, all these sorts of things. and i think what francis perkins could have to say about the current debate is more complex and more comprehensive than what anyone else is currently saying about social security. and to lay that out, i think it's going to take a lot more time than what i have here tonight. and so i will do that. in our next chapter of francis perkins, the american hero. ♪ [ male announcer ] purpose elevates what we do. raises it to a more meaningful

franklin roosevelt was moved by later movements. lyndon johnson had the civil rights movement. i think we begin with that. this book comes out at a moment when the country sees the power and possibility of occupy, 99%, and how that has shifted. it is still evolving. it has shifted the center of political gravity of our dialogue. the issue has been off the radar for so long. >> roosevelt surfed and harnessed those movements. he used them to get legislation passed to initiate programs. obama is still getting on his wet suit. to read the essay she wrote in 2008, there was a sense of exhibits -- exuberance. you say that hope is not optimism that expects things to turn out well. it seems like he confused those two things. >> i will come back to what i write about in the book. the expectations were so great and high. go back to 2008. the back to the election and year when we are fortunate region were fortunate enough to be living with debates that were not cruel reality shows. every week, there were debates among the democratic candidates. barack obama embodied change. it seemed he b

and i think that might be one reason that franklin roosevelt married or decided to marry and then did marry eleanor, his distant cousin, so early. he was only 21, still a senior at harvard when he informed his mother, didn't ask or say -- informed his mother that he was going to marry eleanor. she was devastated by it. she's too young, you know, she didn't feel it was a suitable match. she could see what -- i mean, franklin was a golden boy, she couldn't really see what eleanor brought into his life. >> harry truman. >> i knew nothing about martha truman when i started this. but i believe she was my favorite mother. she was a missouri woman who was rooted, who knew what her values were. and her harry was her dear friend and her most beloved child. martha truman was the product of the civil war. the youngs were very prosperous family farm on the frontier there in missouri. her father was a master of the wagon trails going west from missouri to california, so they were very solid. well, the father was away, and matty, as they called her, was about 10 years old, and a group of raiders fr

franklin roosevelt, the sainted franklin roosevelt.was working on my book about him i learn in 1938, he tried to punish those democrats who were voting against him. whom he needed. by campaigning against them in primaries. he left every race that he tried to intervene in except for one. and they continued to defy him. so, and plenty of democrats defied lyndon johnson. this notion that obama's predecessors had complete party unity and could twist arm successfully every time. that's at odds with the whole history of this country where politicians get elected to office and believe it or not, actually think for themselves sometimes and defy american presidents. so you want him to have every edge that he can get. and he kneads to get, he needs to give them more attention. to say he is a failure at getting things done underestimates the opposition. what i call his enemies. >> regarding those senators, it is an open question. how many could have been swayed if they were going to get to 60 rather than knowing that they were going to fall short

. >> franklin roosevelt dedicated -- talked about the dedication of library as a sign of faith. i dedicate this as a sign of unshakable faith for our country. >> all living presidents were there, including bush 41, at the george bush presidential library on the campus of the southern methodist university. all former presidents had nice things to say about bush 43. history treat him? >> better than he was treated while in office. there is an inevitable revisionist history for ex- president's. he will get treated better than he was. that does not mean that he will be on mount rushmore or anything. he will be held accountable for wars that did not go well. >> charlie, i read your column, i imagine you want to put him up there on mount rushmore? 22%, scorn,ft with and the reason is because he left in the middle of the korean war, which, in the end, killed 10 times as many people as those that died in iraq. now we still have threats of nuclear war from korea. yet, history has looked at him, and the larger picture, the man that established the structures of the cold war, which correa

becomes a war crime the second question is how do you draw the line about war crimes when franklin roosevelt did rescue the jews in the second world war is that a war crime when obama is not intervening in syria is that a war crime i mean it's a very very much he said look when talking about the violation of international law international criminal court we're looking at law established international criminal court will will of eventually be the arbiter of these kind of issues but this is something that it is going to take some time to make clear what how how you define it ivan eland how you define it which defined. well i think you know i think we often in the united states define terrorism and war crimes and all this other stuff too to. you know alleviate our own government of some blame of course you know you know in the in the terror bombings in world war two we always kind of forget about those but nations can commit acts of terrorism and in fact of kill more people with terrorists acts against civilians than little rebel groups like even around it so i think nation states are not espec

the question was first answered with franklin roosevelt's new deal. fdr acted quickly.again would farmers see such a torrent of legislation passed for their benefit. for the first time, there was a national program to raise farm income by guaranteeing minimum prices for farm goods. president roosevelt could not have envisioned that over the years, the formulas determining who receives farm subsidies would evolve in such a manner that it's corporate agri-businesses who are receiving the farm subsidies, not the small, struggling family farmers that president roosevelt envisioned in the 1930s. at that point in time, we had a significant percentage of the population that was directly engaged in agriculture, so the subsidies re focused on sustaining a very large percentage of the population. over time, we have seen that population in agriculture dwindle down, but the notion that you need to protect that food supply has always been there. schoumacher: by the mid-1990s, with a booming economy and high agricultural prices, congress decided it was time to wean farmers from depre

recollection is that the rural electrification administration in as i recall the the roosevelt franklin roosevelt administration and the roll to law from the administration was called i think was that during truman or eisenhower did was that also f.d.r. did that i mean both cases basically the government came in and said private corporations you are not willing to run these long lines out into people's farms because it's not profitable so either we're going to run the more we're going to force you to run them and pay for them and i don't recall which it was can you tell us those stories and is that the model that you're suggesting for for broadband at the same thing happened in electricity so roosevelt had to f.d.r. had a great history in warm springs georgia and knew that not having electricity there was causing it that the quality of life to be a lot lower and so he made sure the. cooperatives across the cultural regions of the united states were supported subsidized benefited and forced equal level of electrification across the country that's what needs to happen now with high speed internet a

i know you're thinking hey, wait a minute, franklin roosevelt proposed social security and he was definitelywoman. but it wasn't really his idea. roosevelt's brilliant idea, and i do mean brilliant, it was also then very brave, was to give us our first woman in a president's cabinet. there were many jobs people could not imagine a woman doing in those days, and secretary of labor was definitely one of them. how could a woman hold her own with union bosses, not to mention other members of the cabinet. president roosevelt chose a woman named francis perkins as his secretary of labor, the highest ranking woman in american government and did it simply because he thought she was the best possible choice for the job, which she proved more thoroughly than perhaps any cabinet member in history. no member of the cabinet has ever changed life in america more than francis perkins did. 30 years after she was offered her cabinet post in a speech at the social security headquarters in washington she told the story of her appointment this way. >> before i was appointed, i made a conversation with roosevelt
