franklin roosevelt's plan for the library to become a premier research institution for the study of the roosevelt era, the library's research room is one of the busiest of all the presidential libraries and this year's group of authors reflect a wide variety of research done here. let me go over the format for the festival's concurrent sessions. at the top of each hour session begins with a 30 minute author talk followed by a 10 minute question and answer period of. than the authors go to the new deal store where you can purchase books and have them sign them. at the top of the next hour the process repeats itself again. today's attendees can visit the exciting program exhibit in the presidential library museum free of charge. ask one of our staff members for the admission button and the program we will have free to go over. i would like to remind you when we have our questions and answer sessions please come to the microphone to get the question on the mic and we will be able to answer that. is my pleasure to introduce maureen beasley, the author of "women of the washington press: poli

[laughter] now we will discuss two interesting figures in the american echelon during world war ii, two men who circled each other like wary lions. that military peacock general douglas mcarthur -- [laughter] and that political lion, fdr. shortly before becoming president while roosevelt was still governor of new york, he remarked to some of his associates that there were

a franklin roosevelt loved to come and visit theodore roosevelt. they were friendly. eanor, of course, was edith tr used to reade. her poetry. they were quite friendly. when eleanor franklin married, theodore gave her away, acting the part of her father. edith signed their marriage edith offered for them to be married in the white house. say that theodore was devoted to eleanor and loved franklin in the beginning. a by the 1920's, ted roosevelt has political ambition. some people accused him of being involved with the teapot dome scandal. it turns out it is really not fair. eleanor drove a car with a teapot on top of it to embarrass her cousin. that created it her feelings for -- that created bitter feelings for a while. edith remained somewhat friendly towards eleanor. >> we have a question about the destroying of her letters. what do the historians say about the missing records? do we miss the intimate tr and edith because of this? >> i think we know a lot about that.of course you want to know more. we have a good record of what the relationship was like. theodore ro

so, for example, every president in the united states since franklin roosevelt has, during his tenure as president, had at least one economic downturn. every one. and every president said at one point, "here are the policies i am proposing, and they have 2 great qualities. number 1--they will get us out of this crisis. and number 2-- they will make sure we never have a crisis like this again." every president promised it. no president has delivered on the promise yet. that tells you something. the system is crisis-prone, and that is a very serious defect to say the least. but i don't want to limit myself to crises. i want to also talk about the system when it's working well, when the unemployment is relatively low. what happens then? first, capitalism has a tendency everywhere to polarize income and wealth. it's a kind of driven system in which the competition, as you all know, of enterprises one with the other, is pretty cutthroat. and most of the time, the company that wins the competition literally eats the one that has been defeated-- buys its equipment, hires away its workers, an

franklin roosevelt planned for the library to become the premier research institution for the steadying of the entire roosevelt era. the library research room is consistently one of the busiest of all the presidential libraries, and this year's group of authors reflects a wide variety of research that is done here. at me quickly go over the format for the festival's concurrent sessions. the top of each hour session begins with a 30-minute opera talk followed by a 10-minute question and answer session and then we will wrap up after that. in the authors will move to the tables in the lobby outside of the new deal store where you can purchase their books and have the author simon. the top of the our the process repeats itself. today's attendees can go to the new museum and take a look at the wonderful new exhibit that we have there with all local red admonished to five admission bunt. if you want to ask a question to come up to the microphone we will have the questions and answers from there. now it is my pleasure to introduce cheryl mullenbach who is the author of "double victory: how afr

theodore roosevelt, the fifth cousin of franklin roosevelt. the complicated thing is theodore roosevelt had a wonderful niece, he loved yearly, eleanor roosevelt, and ben franklin married theodore's niece. franklin would call theodore cousin theodore but then called him uncle theodore. >> i feel the need for a family tree. [laughter] >> distant cousins. this largeage for and bustling family. the roosevelts moved into the white house and then they it would not work for them. a sketch she drew one will -- one week after. for the second floor that shows how very crowded it was to have the family and workspace there. what did she do? >> she picked up on harrison's place in the white house and got together with a very influential firm. .here is for the a big back stoe to cut to the chase, he decided he was tired of moving in with the store. he wanted to separate the living areas with the public areas. was renovated and most people really liked it. the upstairs had seven bedrooms and bathrooms. that was pretty good. alice, the teenage daughter, had h

franklin roosevelt said our national determination to keep free of foreign wars cannot prevent us from feeling deep concern when ideals and principals are challenged. our ideals and principals as well as national security is at stake in syria along with the leadership where we seek to ensure that the worst weapons will never be used. america is not the world's policeman. terrible things happen across the globe and it's beyond our means to right every wrong but mod matt it fort and risk we can keep children safe, i believe we should act. that's what makes america different and exceptional. with humility but with resolve, let us never lose sight of that. thank you, god bless you and god bless the united states of america. >>> president obama spoke for about 16 minute in thes or so. the headline here came about 3 quarters of the way in when he said he's asked congress to postpone their vote on whether they would approve a limited military strike against sear y.he wants them to postpone the vote while he pursue tropical storm option whertakes control of all the weapons and eventually destr

an auditorium that was built by the w.p.a., the works progress administration, in the roosevelt period. the franklin delano roosevelt period. here was this wonderful auditorium laid out there, we ere using it 80 years later. 70 years later. and you go, wow, there's an infrastructure investment in education. and so it is by building this infrastructure, we employee people immediately and we then have the found eags for future economic growth. you mention water system, sanitation, electrical energy systems. roads, highways and the like. and it's jobs today. i want to talk about how we can finance -- mr. tonko: and our ports, our rail. mr. garamendi: this is not new economics. george washington in his first month in office, this is the first president, folks, his first month in august, turned to -- in office, turned to alexander hamilton, his treasury secretary and said, develop an economic policy. hamilton came back, not with a report we would have of 7,000 pabling bus 50 or 60 pages and laid out an economic policy, number one on his agenda was to build america's infrastructure. ports, canals, i know

one is franklin roosevelt went to war when the japanese attacked pearl harbor despite every politician, he could not convince american people, the polling numbers are overwhelming, fdr wouldn't have given the speech. fdr would have been cautious because he didn't oppose 85% of the people. second, as a republican, i want to say it bluntly, as a republican i'm sick of this president and his allies miss stating history. the congress voted to go into afghanistan, iraq, john kerry and hillary clinton voted to go into iraq. let's not pretend there was no legislative branch involvement in the last decade. >> the thing that struck me tonight about the president's speech was as jake said, he went through all the cons, okay, and the big proof course, national security but he made the moral argument about why america is exceptional. we are different from everybody else. we have the burden of leadership in this country when it comes to people gassing their children, and he said there by saving our own children in the process, but i think the moral argument is something nobody would sort of quarrel

president franklin roosevelt is giving the country its marching orders.he success of those orders in winning world war ii depended on the american economy. for months, the issue of how to prepare for war without actually fighting swung back and forth from congress to the white house. economists were trying to answer the critical question, how much could the economy produce and how fast? german armies moved through europe in 1940, pushing allied forces into the sea at dunkirk. fdr took only tentative steps because of pressures to keep america out of war. in 1940, congress agreed to only token increases in defense production. roosevelt waited until after the presidential election to make his move. on december 29th, he called for a lend-lease program to aid the allies and $1 billion for arms production. we must be the great arsenal of democracy. for us, this is an emergency as serious as war itself. allied losses in europe mounted. plans for american aid increased. special envoys were dispatched to london and moscow to discuss war materials. at home, mobiliz

and franklin roosevelt lifted to come and visit theodore roosevelt. they were friendly. and eleanor, of course, was edith's niece. t. r. used to read her poetry. they were quite friendly with her. when eleanor and franklin married t. r. gave her away and acted the part of their father. and edith offered to be have them married in the white house. they loved them in the beginning. by the 1920s it's ted roosevelt, tr's oldest son has prelim ambition, and was some people accused him of being involved with the scandal. which turns out really not fair. but eleanor drove a car with the teapot on top of it to embarrass her cousin. this created bitter feelings for awhile. but edth remained somewhat friendly whard elle eleanor. >> he wants to follow up by asking what do the historians say about the missing records. do we miss the intimate t. r. and ed death because of this? that's a great question. >> what would you think? >> i think that i found some of their corp. correspondents in the children's paper. we want to know more. we have a pretty good what their relationship was like

on behalf of the franklin roosevelt presidential library and museum i'd like to welcome all of you here in our audience and those of you watching at home on east and for the 10th annual was about reading festival. franklin was no plan to become a premier research and tuition for this study that the entire roosevelt area. the libraries research on this consistently one of the busiest of other presidential libraries and mysterious outburst reflects a wide variety of research that done here. let me quickly go to format. at the top of each hour i begins with an author talk followed by a 10 minute question-and-answer is and then we're going to wrap it up after that. then we will move to the table in the lobby outside of the new deal store where you can purchase books and have the author sign them. at the top of the hour the process repeats itself. today's attendees can go to the new museum and take a look at the wonderful merits of its behalf they are with a little admission but that we would give you at the end of the session. please remember to come up to the microphone and review the ques

respond in some way your life not the government again this is why why are we talking about franklin roosevelt we have an actual society and the whole country hates it the whole country loves obamacare and you know when you know it's a good when you're well there are certainly never going to keep that a secret but when you talk about we when you talk about what's actually in the law the vast majority of americans full throated we support it but when you call it obamacare oh shockingly after the republican machine has gotten through with it hopeless they don't like a. lock on the mainstream media is just so famous famously able to convince anybody of any hundreds of millions of dollars spent an illusion that everybody doesn't die of publicans they are planning now apparently to hold the debt ceiling hostage over what we've just been discussing about obamacare where our journey to vote obamacare off for another year please don't let me go to a therapist back at night thirty five or to that was so scared of everybody who had it at a ninety six he said when you do that with we are sixty four whate

franklin roosevelt was one of the great communicators and ruthless communicators in american history. he did not persuade the american people to enter world war ii. it was pearl harbor that did that. it was deeply unpopular in 1940 to send u.s. troops abroad. and that does mean sometimes the president and the congress to be credible in the world like important regions in the middle east may have to defy their own constituents and say there are important national interests here and that need to be reinforced. >> yeah, but this was also a story about specifics. the american people were looking at the middle east and thinking we're snake bit. they're look at iraq and afghanistan. they are looking at syria and thinking if we strike, we could become enmeshed in a war. is this man the, the president, a war president? they're worried about the culture, their infrastructure, their economy, their children don't have jobs, which means they don't develop the human habits of constructive lives. americans got i think looked at this syria case very specifically and voted no. >> peggy, i think most

that now we're wandering into the area of is that the do we have a right to a job should it be franklin roosevelt that the best a role for a program is a job and he said of capitalism fails when capitalism goes through its periodic ups and it fails and there's not enough jobs for the people who want jobs then the government steps in and says ok we will give you a job because you have a right to a job and that tightens up the labor market which drives wages up slightly and also increases to tax revenues and then the economy comes back to life again it helps you know it isn't produce seen anything the government is taking from taxpayers you're not get your you don't have a g.d.p. coming out of the government they're not producing a product whose things of it chooses a man if he chooses to but it's not really choosing to do that we're not going to assume it should be. because it's not about the quality would be very good i've seen a lot of the government work that i've been around and it's that your got a little out the military the no i mean course socks i know that meant the military is one of the

obama campaign planning interest group politics to a level that would have frightened even franklin roosevelt such that i will make this last point and take some questions as this. obama divided and has continued to divide and the current campaign for instance, trayvon martin. the fbi would be happy to testify and show or be forced to testify and show they have investigated zimmerman and he isn't a racist but the point is this race deviating rises up the supporters and gets them on the street. if they are angry they are intensified in their support for obama and same thing for rich don't pay their fair share. obama knows they pay their fair share. last point. but the point is if they are riled up and intensified in the streets and their support is the manipulated that way, when you've got is not looking at other stories in the news these very effective media people want to play out don't have any coverage of the fort hood shooting. how about the irs is examining tea party groups and talking about trayvon martin. phyllis was right. she wrote a book and i dedicated this book to phyllis for her
