there were a lot of newspaper publishers in the 1930s who cooperate stand franklin roosevelt. roosevelt knew that with radio he could go over the heads of the newspaper publishers with his own message, he could completely control. like candidates today use twitter. put out whatever they want and nobody can challenge them. and roosevelt understood this in a way that his predecessors did not. now, being an old radio guy myself, what i'm about to tell you is a really good insider trick for being on the radio. the trick to being really good and smooth on the radio is not to imagine yourself talking to millions of people. it's to imagine yourself talking with one person. one person. call this the barstool rule. imagine you're sit ago an bar stool, talking with one person. it should be that informal. that conversational, conveyed intimacy and warmth. roosevelt understood that. he said i always see myself just sitting around in hyde park, talking to a dirt poor farmer, it forced him to keep himself words simple, concepts easily understood, and that is exactly what he did. he was incre

fast-forward 230 years and we find franklin roosevelt's father james roosevelt, a vice president of the delaware and hudson railroad and a wealthy land owner just outside of the hudson river town that had just changed its name to hide park to show upscale a bit. in 1808 the widow e of the age of 52, attractive woman has his age of sarah. first american delanos immigrant from northern france by way of the netherlands. they had migrated to america almost literally in the wake of the mayflower and established themselves and had knack for certain trade. elenaro's father had made money in china, in trade, all legal. like james roosevelt he had acquired a lot of estate in the hudson valley, his daughters, he insisted could mary only men who possessed exert -- competence of a hundred thousand dollars or a few million on our own inflated currency of today. well, james roosevelt fit the profile. he was wealthy, sarah was clearly attracted to him. the couple would have only one child delivered an 24-hour of labor, they named him for sarah's favorite uncle franklin delenor. this book covers politi

macarthur's relationship with franklin roosevelt went back to their pre-world war one days days when macarthur was a junior officer on the general staff and of course roosevelt was secretary of the navy. here's the point. it falls apart politically and they were uncannily alike at different levels. both had protective and domineering mother's, both were masters of the theatrical moment and each definitely carried with them and unwavering sense of destiny, both both for themselves and for the country. it seems clear from both sides later telling that fdr usually addressed macarthur as douglas, one of the few people again who did and that certainly did not exist between fdr and some of his other generals. remember the story that george marshall, the one time he called him george instead of general. for his point, of course macarthur was enough of a soldier and i think enough of a politician to call macarthur, excuse me to call him mr. president. i want to read you a quote from the book about the situation. sitting in his office in albany, the the governor of new york and democratic pres

franklin roosevelt had all kinds at princeton university for liberalism, for its progressive attitudeon all fronts. in pauli was beside herself because she mutated mix that black students. but she had hoped her application would be expected anyway and it was not. when she read the transcript of the president's speech and many are times, she was living in harlem at the time. she just could not sit still. so she with her trusty typewriter began a three page single spaced letter, which she sent to the president, calling him for his praise of the university and the university's policy for the admissions of black students, the hiring of black sessional staff in any capacity. she sent this letter to the president. but as she was getting that letter ready to go, she thought he has a maze of secretaries if they may not make it through. perhaps i might send a copy of this to eleanor, which is what she did. the president's office forwarded polly's letter to the office of education and davis landed about a month later. but eleanor broke back promptly over her signature and did not letter she sai

the next tide turning president is franklin roosevelt. no democrat wins the majority. woodrow wilson, grover cleveland. franklin, the great depression, franklin roosevelt, the next tide turning president. he wins again and again and again, hands off power to his wing man harry truman. and that was the dominant coalition until vietnam and just the chaos of the 1960's sort of tears apart that coalition. it becomes the great society, late 1960's, and really ronald reagan eventually is the next genuinely tide turning president. won reelection, won a third term called h.w. he can't run for a third term. he is term limited. until now we have been living basically in the era of reagan. those are the tide turning presidents. washington, jefferson, lincoln, fdr and reagan. and if -- the choice that is before us, my fellow citizens -- in 2016, if barack obama's secretary of state, his wing woman were to win, we would say the tide has again turns. he won, won reelection, handed off power. if the democrats -- if they become basically the dominant presidential party at least, then -

macarthur's relationship with franklin roosevelt within back to their preworld war i days when macour their was a junior officer on the general's staffs and roosevelt assistant secretary of the navy. here's the point. pulled apart politically they were, i think, uncannily alike at different levelsful both had protective and domineering mothers. both were masters of the theatrical moment, and each definitely carried with them an unwaiverring sense of destiny, both for themselves and for the country. it seems clear from both sides later telling that fdr usually addressed macarthur as douglas, one of the few people, again, who did. and that certainly did not exist between fd and his other generals. remember the story that george marshall, one time roosevelt called him george instead of general, marshall bristled ate that a little bit. for his point, of course, macarthur was enough of a soldier and i think also enough of a politician, to call macour their -- excuse me -- to call roost mr. president. let me read you a quote from the book "macarthur at war" about this situation. setting in

ted roosevelt junior, the son of president theodore roosevelt, the rough rider, president franklin roosevelt'sfifth cousin. he was ted roosevelt junior, a hero from world war i, cofounder of the american legion and later he would be a hero in world war ii at utah beach on d-day. the oyster bay roosevelts hated the hyde park roosevelts and there was a family battle and a political battle and the oyster bay roosevelts were cited with the isolationists and franklin roosevelt was pushing toward intervention in the war. others included former president herbert hoover and perennial socialist candidate norman thomas. college campuses were hotbeds of antiwar fervor almost as much as during the vietnam war. thanks to orders from american weapons and goods, and for the first time since the great depression. you can understand from an economic perspective people didn't want to go to war. they wanted to enjoy they could finally purchase a refrigerator, finally had enough food to eat. there were other reasons. there were the enduring memories of the wiping out of a generation of young european men in the t

would you rather quote herbert hoover or franklin delano roosevelt? [applause] would you rather quote richard nixon or john fitzgerald kennedy? [applause] the republicans have always been the party of privilege, but this year their leaders have gone even further. in their platform, they have repudiated the best traditions of their own party. where is the conscience of lincoln in the party of lincoln? what's become of their traditional republican commitment to fiscal responsibility? what's happened to their commitment to a safe and sane arms control? now, i don't claim perfection for the democratic party. i don't claim that every decision that we have made has been right or popular; certainly, they've not all been easy. but i will say this: we've been tested under fire. we've neither ducked nor hidden, and we've tackled the great central issues of our time, the historic challenges of peace and energy, which have been ignored for years. we've made tough decisions, and we've taken the heat for them. we've made mistakes, and we've learned from them. but w

franklin roosevelt liked to read, nobody likes to read that much and yet the foundation for the modern intelligence system was layed. for the first time intelligence service in the united states which had objectives serving the president of the united states. harry truman picked up on that very soon. oss was des up and-- expanded. it had a new name. the central intelligence group which became the central intelligence agency. harry truman started getting the daily summary, a document that analysts at cia pulled together based on classified information, but this one was more directed at truman himself. that is a thought about what does truman need and what does he not need. he picked up on what roosevelt built and then they weren't getting tons of feedback and over time they didn't get the kind of response they were looking for. under the next president dwight eisenhower it changed even more. he used the national security council system very well. with topics planned out weeks, sometimes months in advance. he was not getting a daily sphwhrgz briefing personalized to him, he received some

most gifted narrative historians writing today and the third book is a two-time finalist for franklin roosevelt is a very single moment was during the korean war with very unpopular president truman and douglas macarthur when mccarthyism was coming for to the front and they wanted to use nuclear weapons to stop the flow and truman disagreed and they had a power struggle this is the moment that is just as dangerous although not as well-known dissidents the idea that as unpopular as he was he took a very principled stand to push back behind the scenes so a great narrative to the story to do all this research that is grounded in textual research had a tremendous writer. these are the three books. >> you will see all three authors on booktv this fall. editor and publisher of doubleday

it reached a whopping 2000 pages franklin roosevelt like to read. nobody likes to read that much. yet the foundation was laid. for the first time there was an intelligence service in the united states that had one of its objectives serving the president of the united states. harry truman picked up on that very soon. oss was disbanded fairly soon after the war. in early 1946, it was back. and have a new name and there was a new head. it was called the director of central intelligence and he headed what was called the central intelligence group which eventually became the central intelligence agency. harry truman started getting what he called the daily summary and this was the document that analysts that the cia pulled together based on classified information but this one was more directed at truman himself. that is a thought about what truman needs and what does he not need. he picked up on what roosevelt helped build and got something a little more focused on him. even then they were getting tons of feedback and over time, they didn't get the kind of response they were looking fo

by the end of his first term franklin roosevelt doubled spending. in the midst of it all you had roosevelt constantly attacking people of end prize calling them economic royalists. john: on colleges everybody believes fdr saved us. >> it's so false. the depression was still with us on the eve of world war ii. we didn't get a recovery until after world war ii. john: the next myth. profit is evil. >> profit is the measure of success accepts. it's the fertilizer that quickens the imagination of men and women in a free marketplace. a depression is an economy without profit. >> a couple more myths. jesus was socialist. >> jesus himself was after he broached and this is recorded in the book of luke by a man who wanted him to redistwri tbiewt wealth. he says master, speak with my brother that he divide the inheritance with me. he replied, month who made me a judge and divider over you. jesus came to uphold the law. the 10 commandsments are pivotal. the -- the ten commandments say thou shallt not steal. it doesn't go on to say unless you can find a politici

franklin roosevelt had to deal with william randolph spurs. -- hearst. when enough people wake up, and it is typically caused by a crash, then progressive change will happen. they can out shout the voices of greaeat wealth and power. a 13morgan agreed to sell -- agreed to a $13 billion settlement. put that in perspective for us. that seems like a lot of money. practices in connection with -- it is not a lot of money. jpmorgan has $20 billion just thing in a on, waiting for this kind of thing. they will be able to deduct a lot of this in their taxes. all you have to do is look at their stock price. this was announced and their stock price went up, not down stop that should tell you. every now and then, i waxed like about ronald reagan. in 1983, he deregulated these evenings and loan industry -- savings-and-loans industry. three years later they crashed. reagan investigated over 1000 people, put 600 of them in prison. john mccain almost went down. rating put these guys in jail. l nationalized the s and industry. he told the stockholders that they have lost

only franklin roosevelt and barack obama -- there is no question that he had a resounding mandate for a second four, not 3/5 of a term if you get the history, but a second four-year term. it reminds me of a story i've told before. i want to repeat it because i think it is so poignant in thinking about donald trump, ted cruz, marco rubio, the cast of walker and jindal and all these guys that have disappeared into the trash the of history. january 21, 2009. the tradition is the president goes to the national cathedral for a prayer breakfast. there's been a natural prayer breakfast after every new president inaugurated since george washington. the first woman ever to deliver a sermon at the service shared a piece of wisdom attributed to the cherokee nation. one evening, a grandfather was teaching his grandson about the internal battle that each of us face. there are two wolves struggling inside each of us, the old man said. one wolf is vengeance, vengeful miss and anger and resentment and self pity and fear. the other wolf inside us is compassion and faithfulness and hope and truth and l

only franklin roosevelt and barack obama -- there is no question that he had a resounding mandate for a second four, not 3, not 3 1/2, 3/5 of a term if you get the history, but a second four-year term. now, watching the other side in aese debates reminds me of story. i have told it before but i want to repeat it because i think it is so poignant in thinking about donald trump, ted cruz, marco rubio, the cast of walker and jindal and all these guys that have disappeared into the trash heap of history. january 21, 2009. the tradition is the president after being sworn in, goes to the national cathedral for a prayer breakfast. there has been a national prayer request for every new president after they are inaugurated since george washington. the first woman ever to deliver a sermon at the service shared a piece of wisdom attributed to the cherokee nation. here is what she said. one evening, a grandfather was teaching his grandson about the internal battle that each of us as human beings face. there are two wolves struggling inside each of us, the old man said. one wolf is vengeance, veng

why did franklin roosevelt established that principle?wanted to make certain that wasyone in society supporting social security so it would be there for the people who needed it the most. social security will go broke in 18 years or 19 years. that means that everyone will have to take a 23% cut. that will be a disaster, especially for those who need it the most. our proposal is to not only fill in the hole and present the -- and prevent the 23% cut, but to system more progressive. asking those at the top to pay more and get not as much back, but to allow others who really needed to get -- you really need it to get quite a bit more. of the that 9% or 10% american people who are elderly are living in poverty. we are saying that we want to do something significant to lift one million people out of poverty who are elderly. host: mr. lockhart, yesterday when we were discussing the segment, our conversation between the producers and myself, we talked about pension and employers and benefits. contractors into and the economy. is that the trend?

here's somebody who really with the possibly exception of franklin roosevelt was presided at more events and made more decisions that shaped the history of 20th century united states than -- i can't think of anyone else. with the exception of f.d.r. there was his politics. he was conservative republican which didn't rub well with the democrat presidents he had to work with particularly f.d.r. and harry truman. but he wasn't a con serb active -- conservative taft republicans. he was not someone interested in overturning aspects of the new incipient welfare state when he runs for president in 1952. he's more moderate than that. and that offended some conservatives at that point. he's a resolute anti-communist at a time when again, a lot pinning on the left is -- is more sympathetic and more willing to work with the soviet union. and then there's the person -- the man himself. he is somebody who always gives off the err that he is the smartest person in the room. and that if you don't know it, you're going to find out very soon. but the decisions that he made are made from the best possible

by gunfire, garfield, mckinley, and there are a number of their attempts made including on franklin roosevelt my question is did that trigger national discussion of gun control and if not, why not? i think the biggest discussion happened in the mid and late 60s. what was the impact of those events on the gun business? >> interestingly, in my work, i didn't see either an impact or a shift in the public discourse after any of those events. theodore roosevelt was also shot on a way to a speech and he just went ahead and delivered his speech. he went to the hospital later, maybe, i don't even know if you did that. he said it's going to take more than that to shut me down. so i don't think, for for the time period that i'm looking at, that it really didn't have much of an impact. but again, i don't think the gun was by any means as politicized as it is today. the gun politics are a very recent invention in this story. >> gun politics is of course a hyper controversial and provocative subject. you do, in your epilogue get into it with some ideas you have for commonsense recommendations to reduce gu

and franklin roosevelt started social security. fundamental security means there will be some relationship between what you pay in and what you get out. his concern was that you start breaking down the willingness of people to participate and support it. something to think about. >> jim you're on the washington journal with former senator conrad, former deputy commissioner and social security administrator lock hart both with the policy center today. hi. >> good morning, gentlemen. couple ideas. you can just comment after i'm done. first one, i think obama care will be here a while. why can't we take the residual amount that these people are credited and instead of letting them have that money now, take it and let them put it in health savings account that won't good away for when they are older. that would be one. or when you put in that $2,000 towards your ira, can you use that as a tax credit. that residual money can go into a fund that can stay with you your wheel life until you retire. and in addition to that, why can't we sta

and i'll tell you, barack obama is no franklin roosevelt. >> these eight years away from his promises of not being a war president and now we have reality at our doorstep. to let everybody know, we are awaiting the president but are being told he is still waiting with his national security team and the minute he stepped up to his lectern, we will take you there life. >> brand-new details on the government planning of the orlando nightclub terror attacks. investigators looking into whether omar mateen was shouting and even larger target. chief intelligence correspondent katherine harris is live in washington with the latest there. >> i've learned there is evidence of significant premeditation and the shooter omar mateen did surveillance of at least two targets prior to buying guns about a week before sunday's attack. we understand their surveillance included the pulse nightclub as well as downtown disney. the fbi has mateen's samsung phone and has gained access to his computer. investigators are looking for direct digital evidence of his surveillance of these targets. for instance, whe

occupation didn't end until thed a meteorologist of franklin roosevelt circa 1934, and we also know in the dominican republic there was ample support for the dictator, rafael trujillo, who rule for decades until he met his maker in an assassination attempt that may have had u.s. complicity. what is interesting about the d.r., over its entire historical period, is the color phobia that persists and exists in the d.r. that is to say you might recall that in 1930s, the dominican government under rue heow massacred count countless haitian, and sammy sosa is a top home run hitter in u.s. baseball history but after he retired, somehow magically his color was transformed and transmuted to my shade, until the shade that perhaps resembles the face of madonna, for example. this is not necessarily a peculiar idiosyncracy o sammy sosa. it's more a reflection of a culture, a culture not unlike the united states of america, that tentses to privilege white supremacy and tends to downgrade and degrade those who happen to be dark-skinned. that is a peculiar legacy of the history of slavery, and i dare

once upon a time, franklin roosevelt or lyndon johnson or somebody like that, absolutely, the democraticas about the middle class of this country. they've developed literature talking about how the class of people is of the pinnacle of history. it's the class they themselves are drawn from. they talk about these people all the time. they see that, you know, this group of winners is, you know, the ultimate sort of number one democratic constituency, they think that that class of people deserves to be where they are and their status is something they earned. >> woodruff: it's a pretty harsh criticism. you're saying the leadership of the democratic party, silicon valley, the academics, the folks on wall street who are democrats, really don't care about the working class. >> yes, that's exactly right. the most shocking thing is that the democrats basically are a party that identifies itself with wall street and that identifies itself with silicon valley and that identifies itself with big pharma. these industries they're talking about and saluting because they're so creative and innovative,

when franklin roosevelt signed the social security act 81 years ago, he envisioned social security as a bold new way to provide economic security to american workers and families through broad social insurance protections. with the support of lawmakers, scholars, advocates and business leaders over the years, social security is still evolving to fulfill fdr's vision. social securitition guaranteed income protection is the foundation of retirement security for almost all of the nation's workers and families. it's also the main source of life insurance and disability protection for working families. few government agencies touch as many lives as we do at the social security administration. fdr envisioned social security as an earned benefit. workers pay for it through deductions from their paychecks. this year employees pay 6.2% of their earnings up to a cap of $118,500 and employers pay a matching amount. the money goes to the social security trust fund and is spent only for benefits. and the cost of running the program. in addition, about 4 in 10 beneficiaries pay income taxes from th

>> there is a long history of social security it was started during the franklin roosevelt administration andni the idea is there would be some relationship between what you paid and what you got out. the truth is to be absolutely truthful, thosee that pay more and get out less than what they paid so the relationship is very progressive the fact is social security does transfer income from those who are the most fortunate to those that are the least fortunate in that is already the case and is a fact if we took the cap off completely o the amount of wages subject to taxation year would destroy the relationship between what goes then and what comes out what one pays and what it gets that breaks o the bond to be a social insurance program so remember that the fundamental idea from the time of franklin roosevelt there should be someme relationship of what you pay and what you get if you take the cap off completely you have taken away their relationship but why did he establish that principle? because he wanted to make certain that everyone in society was supportive of social security so it w
