franklin roosevelt declares that every american has a right to a job. the government guarantee that we'll never have another great depression? 1952. dwight eisenhower prepares to take office as the first republican president since herbert hoover. how will he handle his first economic crisis? the torch has been passed to a new generation of americans. 1961. john kennedy has promised to get the country moving again. how will he keep his promise? three presidents three policies but one common resolve-- the government must never permit another great depression. can we control our economy? that's the story we'll investigate with the help of economic analyst richard gill on this edition of economics usa. i'm david schoumacher. the 20 years after world war ii brought self-confidence to american political economics. the lessons of depression and war convinced economists and politicians alike that the government could promote prosperity by manipulating taxes and spending. these continuing adjustments are called fiscal policy. for the two decades after world war

franklin roosevelt said, i always knew greed was bad morals. we now know it is bad economics. it was true then and true today. [applause] it is time for a new vision, and a new challenge for the american people. it is time to go to the american people, and say, not what can you get out of america not what , can you take for yourself what can you put into this country? [applause] it is time to go to the young people of america, and say don't ask how many more debts you can pile on your kids and grandkids, but what can you do to build an america that may -- will make your kids and grandkids's lives better? that was the challenge that john kennedy gave to my generation. he did not ask how much can you get out of the system. he asked what we could put in it to make a better life for everyone. and i tell you we need to take that challenge to the american people. and i intend to. i intend to because i see a new america. i see a new america where our schools are second to none. i see an america where health care is available and affordable to all. [applause] i see a new america where

in 1942, franklin roosevelt issued an executive order 9066, leading to the forced relocation and internment of people of japanese ancestry on the west coast of the united states. japanese relocation from 1943 is a film posted and narrated by milton eisenhower, the brother of general dwight d. eisenhower. as head of the war relocation authority, he presents arguments in favor of the force in turn policy, while scenes are shown. ♪ >> when the japanese attacked pearl harbor, our west coast came of potential combat zone. we knew that some among the japanese were potentially dangerous. no one knew what would happen among this concentrated population if japanese forces should try to invade our shores. military authorities determined that all of them, citizens and aliens alike, would have to move. this picture tells how the mass migration was accomplished. neither the army or the warlike question -- relocation authority relish the idea from taking families from their homes, so the military and civilian nation -- agencies chose to have real consideration for the people involved. consideration was g

should we continue or extend the legacy of franklin delano roosevelt in establishing the federal government as one of the preeminent directors if not the preeminent director of american economic life, or should we embrace the creative animal spirits of free enterprise capitalism and trust more to ourselves and more to the great men and women who fuel our nation's economy and whose ideas and innovations change our lives? when we look to the future of american public policy. economists and historians have debated whether or not roosevelt's move in his signature domestic accomplishment, the new deal actually helped or hurt, whether or not it prolonged the great depression or helped to bring us out of it. but whatever side you take in that debate, there's virtually unanimous common wisdom, agreement that the stimulus provided by world war ii's rearmament and continued purchase of munitions and vehicles and other things to fight the nazis and to fight the japanese ultimately pulled america out of the recession. and, of course, when we do that, the common wisdom focuses on the collective. they fo

. >> the last time we had a declaration of war was when franklin roosevelt. after pearl harbor he asked for a declaration of war. had there been a government responsible for the attacks on the trade center in new york in 2001, september 11th we would have had a declaration of war against that government. it would have been as powerful and wide-ranging and unlimited as any declaration of war, prompted by the traumatic experience that also pearl harbor was in our experience. >> i do think that had that been a government that attacked us we would have had a declaration of war. since, i think, the korean war and the vietnam war, and during the period of time when we were putting military force into central america, the government has sought authorisation for limited use of military power. and i think one of the reasons that presidents have been loathe to go forward with a declaration of war is because it is so unlimited and uninhibited and you'll encompassing. when the nation comes together behind a declaration of war there's no limitation on what you do. you may

president franklin roosevelt is giving the country its marching orders. 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, mobilizati

one of franklin roosevelt's accoutrements was an ivory cigarette holder.king a cigarette both in the study and in the finished picture. you can see the kind of sensitivity which is being reestablished and balanced between a kind of informality with the pose of the cigarette and his famous naval cloak. and the leonine head of the president looking thoughtful and powerful. we have reestablished vocabulary of the president. as a historian of the portrait gallery, because we are a national museum, there are certain political issues that come up. i have a macro on my computer which answers a question for the next two pictures. we had someone say, you must hate jack kennedy because you have this terrible abstract portrait of kennedy. you must be un-american, you hate jack kennedy. this is a 1962 elaine de kooning portrait of john f. kennedy. we are doing a talk about this later. what it is is a way in which art is beginning to influence the political portrait, the balance between the lightness of the -- the likeness of the head. it is not a complete abstraction.

abraham lincoln, theodore roosevelt, franklin roosevelt, supreme court justices louis brandeis and william douglas among others, eloquently warned about what thomas jefferson called "the excesses of the monied interests" dominating both people and their governments. the struggle between the forces of democracy and plutocracy has ebbed and flowed throughout our history. each time the cycle of power has favored more democracy, our country has prospered "a rising tide lifts all boats." and each time the cycle of corporate plutocracy has lengthened, injustices and shortcomings proliferate. in the 1960's and 1970's, for example, when the civil rights consumer, environmental, and women's rights movements were in their ascendancy, there finally was a constructive responsiveness by government. corporations, such as auto manufacturers, had to share more decision making about how they built their cars with affected constituencies, both directly and through their public representatives and civil servants. overall, our country has come out better because of these movements, more tolerant, safer, and w

franklin roosevelt sort of did the same thing. it was political theater and effective. no one in the lbgt civil rights movement believed him when he went from being pro marriage equality in 1996 to for it again. that's not the way that people involve on this issue. they evolve from opposition to support. i never heard of a case, except for the president, when we are supposed to buy someone devolving and revolving. i agree that the country was not ready in 2008 for a candidate who supported marriage equality. the president made his discomfort with the political calculation he made part of the drama and the performance of his office. it benefitted people in this country tremendously. >> i basically agree, but sort of strategically. let me give you this thought experiment. say there is a young, conservative libertarian coming up in the ron paul movement saying i don't think we should get rid of the minimum wage. he gets office, says of course i believe in the minimum wage, and then working with libertarian activists to get rid of the minimum wage, and then someone says of

i member saying is a little like franklin roosevelt saying how we built to many landing craft? because we are not going to be able to use than after this, we won't need the very much. that was the argument of the time. we shouldn't build as many because we're not going to need them. we're not going to need them, why waste the money? in the end, we sent more than 24,000 two iraqi in afghanistan and your binary work was was saved thousands of lives and limbs. i remember my next trip to afghanistan, after this. two iraq, they were in falluja and the battle had been run. there was a group they wanted to show me. it was a meeting going on. they wanted to show me one that had just been blown up. two young sergeants in an armored humvee got out of their vehicles and showed me how this one was blown up. i forget how many pounds of explosives, but it blew the entire vehicle up higher than a telephone pole, it brought down wires. but they all survived. they had all of the soldiers there survive because the internal portion of the vehicle was preserved. if you did nothing else in your car

in the spring of 1943 -- we know in january of 1943 franklin roosevelt and winston churchill met in casablancao discuss the role of the americans in assisting the british and their airborne campaign against the germans. they discussed the combined bomber offensive, which they would then begin to carry out in 1943, and here we have a newsreel featuring bomber harris explaining how this is going to work. [indiscernible] >> the western allies. and yet no -- [indiscernible] the massive power fo the united states of american. when they stop of germany, they will look back to the days coulogne, to the efforts of this last summer. [indiscernible] germany, clingign desperately to its conquests -- [indiscernible] >> right, so there is the very dry, understated language of revenge and retribution. if you could not quite make out the accent, he paraphrased for you that rustic, lubec, and cologne were only the beginning. it would be no bigger than a man's hand, behind which lies the might of the united states of america. the germans will look back on cologne and lubec as a man caught in a hurricane looks

franklin roosevelt. >> but let's get back to the treatment of media people yrks you you think it's unfair. >> it's all public people, not just media people. because -- >> media people depend on credibility. they're constantly getting clawed automatic. >> and all of us make mistakes. all of us do make mistakes. >> you've been fwauktalking about a blood loss. >> and rich was saying before bob simon almost made you trust journalism again. i trust journalism by and large. when i'm out there on the middle east having rpgs shot the -- no. but i see people like dexter fill filkins and other war reporters who really do the story. >> that's well said. but what is so amazing about the brian williams incident is if there is anytime you can't be inconsistent or make anything up and you know you'll get caught it's this era with so many attention on the media and social media and all the rest. >> but that's why i believe the cord con word conflation was appropriate. when the story first report, he reported it it accurately. over time the stories you tell get -- >> but you can't change it when there is

just don't believe statutory provisions designed for the telephone industry and adopted when franklin d. roosevelt should cover a 21st century internet. >> it will ideally keep broadband the same. and other practices that might prevent you from getting access to certain services and applications. >> it's unlikely it is the final word. they could trigger lawsuits -- >> no end yet to the flu deaths this season in delaware. 26 people have now died from the flu this season. 2 is deaths in new castle county and kent county. pennsylvania reporting a high number of flu deaths 180 people dies this flu season. more than 47,000 cases. new jersey reports minimal flew numbers -- flu numbers. >> flu mist did not work any better than vaccines this year. doses were allowed to get too warm when they were distributed. they say they will use a better strain in the future. >>> a philadelphia man is off to jail for leaving his 2-year-old car -- in his car. he went in the store to buy him a teddy bear. it was 24 degrees. >>> philadelphia woman accused of given a deadly butt injunction is expected to resume testifying

biden, because mum's the word, the democrats have decided that franklin delano roosevelt, one of his cardinal achievements--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

. >> and johnson knows this, looking at franklin roosevelt. to a certain degree, you get up there and you know that your health can deteriorate. it is hard to predict. eisenhower had his greatest health problems in his first term and went on to service second. there is no evidence that his age and health problems were detriment. ronald reagan in his first term, evidenced problems. it was more parent to many in the second term -- a parent to many in the second term. and>> it will be a big issue. americans are very unsentimental when it comes to presidential health. if she has any kind of mishap, bill bradley's campaign against al gore was seriously hurt by him having a little hard issue in iowa. were she to have another health scare like she had, that could be very detrimental. >> i cannot imagine that she would run -- >> if something came up, of course. she would be reagan's age if she is elected. >> i was wondering if hillary clinton ever caused a scandal, not that she would, with that -- with that, would that affect your differently because

because if you step on someone's toes to find out what's going on -- >> host: this is what franklin roosevelt -- >> guest: yes to step on anyone's toes. it's going to be a riot if you step on toes to be will be a riot. so ultimately president roosevelt let him come in and bottom-line this happened 70 years ago and it just boggles my mind we work so closely with one another and to think that where i stand now they wouldn't let him but moving fast forward to today you are always going to have a difference of opinion. some differences might be racial and others might just be a difference of opinion. i think as a whole the art trying to do better as a group. i think that we don't want anyone to get an advantage that's one thing. but professional are there some people who may harbor some animus racially? there could be had there may not be. but i have had some things haven't but i will have to show you another day because it isn't worth fighting over right now. >> host: you do something many reporters don't do. at the end of your book you conclude with your explanation of how you have graded at th

i am a fellow at the roosevelt institute, so i'm a big fan of franklin roosevelt.t in light of all the controversy, lbj is my favorite for sure. >> that's fascinating. why? >> he expanded the democracy. he passes that test. one could argue that lbj made america a true democracy for the first time in terms of allowing people the right to vote people that were declined -- that were supposed to be citizens, plaque people who were supposed to be citizens, he actually through the voting rights act. of course, there was a movement behind him. >> of course. >> but he in presidential power expanded the democracy for african-americans and for other groups. and frankly, he built on the roosevelt legacy of social welfare state in this country. >> it's interesting to think about how johnson is evaluated. what happens is the further we get from the vietnam war, the more his stock rises because the vietnam war seemed -- the things he accomplished are still with us, and the war is further in the past. >> that's true. that is a mark on his presidency. >> at the time it would have

he's going out there as presidents have done before beginning with franklin roosevelt with fireside chats. he's talking about the dreamers. he came in his with second executive order talking about some relief for the parents. about 5 million people. here in florida, there are 250,000 people that will be affected if that stay is not lifted and the president is not able to do what he wants to. i think he needs to outline how we protect the kids how to look at the parents and put them on a path to citizenship and talk about them paying taxes and basically getting everything in line. he's doing it the right way by going to the people and he has to go around the republican congress. he has no choice. he's doing what presidents need to do, using the bully pulpit. >> does president obama need to change his immigration policy? do you think he feels emboldened that he's taken the right course of action right now with this executive order and not changing anything, staying the course and letting this politically play out against the republicans? >> absolutely, absolutely. the president is doing abs

i remember sitting on the floor, it is like franklin roosevelt saying have we built too many landing craft? because we are not going to be able to use than after this, we won't need the very much. that was the argument of the time. we shouldn't build as many because we're not going to need them. we're not going to need them, why waste the money? in the end, we sent more than 24,000 to iraq and afghanistan and your work was saved thousands of lives and limbs. i remember my next trip to afghanistan, after this. to iraq, i was out in falluja and the battle had been run. there was a group they wanted to show me. it was a meeting going on. they wanted to show me one that had just been blown up. two young sergeants in an armored humvee got out of their vehicles and showed me how this one was blown up. i forget how many pounds of explosives, but it blew the entire vehicle up higher than a telephone pole, it brought down the wires. but they all survived. they had all of the soldiers there survive because the internal portion of the vehicle was preserved. if you did nothing else in your caree

incumbent president herbert hoover was routed at the polls by franklin delano roosevelt.great nation will endure as it has endured. first of all let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. in his inaugural address roosevelt pledged to establish strong banking safeguards. there must be a strict supervision of all banking and credit and investments. there must be an end to speculation with other people's money. one of roosevelt's first presidential acts was to declare a national bank holiday. merritt sherman, who was with the federal reserve then tells us why roosevelt took this action. what roosevelt was trying to do was to create a period in which the whole banking system individual banks could be reviewed by bank examiners, by experts who had a great deal of information about banks and enable them, through the procedure of licensing banks to reopen, to carry out the promise made by the president that any bank that was reopened would be able to stay open. in his fireside chat fdr told the nation that the reopened banks were safe. let m

but then the rea, the rural electrification act, had been passed during the franklin roosevelt administration, and the whole purpose of that was to try to bring electricity to rural areas that didn't have it and in those days, there were many rural areas in america that didn't have electricity. and while electricity did come then to the duncan valley and to verden and to lordsburg, it did not come out to the ranches. and my father made some arrangement with the local rea that he would build the line put the poles in--in to their specifications and string the wire to their specs, if he could get hooked up. and when i was away at stanford, i think, we finally got hooked up with the rea. and that was very helpful because, at that point, it was possible then to eventually put an electric pump down in the wells and get our water pumped out with that electric energy. and my mother could have a refrigerator in the kitchen and run a--a--a vacuum cleaner and a washing machine and all those things that hadn't been easy to do before. c-span: how much education did your father have? >> guest: he never we

there was such an objection to this among progressive that franklin roosevelt won election on his opposition to judicial activism and the court retreated, switched its position and said they will generally uphold economic regulation and less they are wholly rational but to enforce individual rights like free speech and so forth more aggressively. tell us please why the progressives thought the economic cases such as lochner were not faithful to the constitution, but the danger of that so judicial activism is and why the 19th century cases should not be followed? >> that's a good question spent that's what we are all about here. spent i will try to give a relatively short answer. but i said before that the constitution protects a lot of different things. and frequently when the legislature ask, when the government ask it is promoting one person's constitutional rights or interest at the expense of another. so you can imagine a worker let's say working in a factory for maybe 14, 16 hours a day. sorting and cutting fabric, let's say. and maybe being exposed to harmful dust in the air or somethi
