franklin roosevelt. crisis in the 1930s and most recently man of destiny and fdr and the making of the american century. he will be speaking about true man and churchill. >> thank you very much. we'll talk today about harry and winston. let's begin with noting it's it. churchill, the seat of his uncle, duke of marlboro. churchill's father was lord randolph of churchill. harry true man was born ten years after churchill. in a small framed house. his father was a farmer and livestock speculator. in 1890s the truman's relocated to the town of independence missouri just outside of kansas city. in large measure to points higher vied-- provide a better education. young harry was a strong student at independence public high school. his family could not afford to send it even to a public university. instead he worked as a railroad time keeper. with no very clear plan for advancement whatever opportunities might have seemed cancelled when his father called him back to the country to help in the management of a fa

the president who set the standard in this was franklin roosevelt. for my book on roosevelt, i interviewed ken burns. i hope you got to see the documentary "the roosevelts." he has also written three biographies on franklin roosevelt, one of which was a finalist for the pulitzer prize. and, james bowden just -- james bowden. they focused on the fact that until age 39, franklin roosevelt led an amazingly active life. he loved to dance. he worked the crowd as he was pursuing his ambitions and all of a sudden, it he came to a grinding halt when he was attacked by the poliovirus and lost the use of his legs for the rest of his life. yes, polio was a major setback but it did not hold him back for long. his biographers talked about his steadfast resolve and his first-class temperament and how because of that, he maintained himself. he kept a smile on his face after he had lost the bounce in his step. by overcoming and defining polio, his tenacity got the country to expect him at his word when he said, we have nothing to fear but fear itself. by overcoming

i think franklin roosevelt. not only did he have responsibility for dealing with the great depression but also world war ii and to do it in a mode of his disability and always be in the mode of giving the country hope in our darkest hours really puts him as a personal and as a compelling story, head and shoulders above everybody else. nobody had to deal with that kind of disability. nobody persevered and triumphed and rose to the highest possible heights at franklin roosevelt. na would be my answer to that question. >> given that this has been a lifelong interest for you, as you were studying this book and all these different personalities, what surprised you the most about whom? >> one of the most surprising things that i learned in the book was about the john f. kennedy and the cuban missile crisis. because after john f. kennedy was assassinated, then within a matter of time, bobby kennedy decided he wanted to run for president. so obviously when you are running for president, you try to do everything you can

what had me so fascinated, if you really thought franklin roosevelt was going to die, then burns is the obvious choice. they picked truman. and then if you really thought roosevelt was going to die, as soon as truman became vice president, you would have started to get him ready for the responsibilities he was going to have. and nobody did that. nobody. there's in fact a note at the truman library in one of the exhibits downstairs, it's a note from roosevelt to truman telling him don't bother me, work through the chief of staff. i don't want to talk to you. if you really thought roosevelt had weeks to live or months to live, that's not what you would have done. sir? >> you mentioned bollen, kennonand conflicting analogies they're giving to truman. i wondered if you could elaborate or perhaps would you take one of the three you would agree with? >> well, to me kennan -- what kennan said is, look, world war ii has brought out all of the worst aspects of the russian system, which includes paranoia, suspicion of everybody. >> and just link that to stalin's position. >> yeah. so what kennoni

franklin roosevelt even said that. he said -- i pledge the full resources of the united states thatand behind the pledge the independence of the philippines will be redeemed and protected. dwight eisenhower said in 1941, the philippines, asia is watching what we do in the philippines and will excuse excusethat they will not and abandonment. not sure if macarthur ever read that statement that is something he felt in his heart. president, wer. have made a promise and we have to go back. ameer -- a moral imperative. and there are 17 million filipinos on the brink of starvation and there are over 10,000 american prisoners of war that are dying and languishing in prisoner of war camps. we have to go back, we owe it to them. ultimately, what turned the debate was logistics. -- can you do the philippines with the resources in the theater it that we have including the ships and the men? macarthur said yes. that is -- when asked the same question about the foremost operation, nimitz said i need reinforcements from europe. 26, 1

as franklin roosevelt said, we are next. because of the two pacific drives and the southwest pacific nearing the china coast and near taiwan and the philippines, where do we go? nimitz presented a case, which is what the navy department in washington wanted to do. macarthur made the case for the philippines. go,president we have to then moves on. there were several reasons for it. first, strategic. teachinges is finished position. we have a chance to use this as our base for further operations against japan. further operations against the japanese held areas. with ace -- for a strategic purpose it is important. he promised, i shall return. americans have made a promise to the philippines. inpromised the dependence 1946, but they also promise to redeem back in december of 1941. franklin roosevelt said i pledged that full resources and the united states, stand behind the pledge that independence of the philistines will be -- philippines will be redeemed and protected. said the philippines are watching what we do. defeat.excuse

in dedicating his own library, franklin roosevelt captured the essence of the mission.to bring the records of the past and house them in buildings where they will be preserved for the use of men and women in the future, a nation must believe in three things. it must believe in the past, it must believe in the future, it must above all believe in the capacity of its own people to learn from the past that they can gain in judgment in creating their own future. the presidential library joined the national archives in 2007 and today houses president nixon's presidential and family materials. this collection has lived up to president nixon's vision of the library as a place of discovery and rediscovery, investigation, and analysis. since 1990, more than one million visitors have experienced the life and times of the nixon years, and several thousand researchers have mind the collections. i wish to thank the library staff in yorba linda whose tireless efforts helped to maximize our value to the nation, improved the experience of our researchers and visitors, and allowed acces

think the founders would be pretty shocked to find out that for basically-- certainly since franklin roosevelt that the president has been by far and large the most important person in the government. they always assumed there would be times as there were in the 19th century when what happened at the other end of pennsylvania avenue on capitol hill mattered much more than what the executive was doing and presidential powers weren't sort of associated with impulsive personality, but we live in a media culture and there is something manageable at -- about the similarity of the presidency and so we tend to end congress seems willing to go along with this and sort of have moved everything to the other end. host: before we got started here we were talking about the gettysburg address and abraham lincoln. what were you saying? >> i was wondering in this age of immediate even with wonderful glorious c-span whether we know how important it was. it would be very clear that only you would cover it and chances are that the networks and cable might say there's a dedication of a cemetery, but i can imagine

if you study the administration of franklin roosevelt and we have done it in depth, he came up with some ideas but they don't work. the policies of franklin roosevelt actually prolonged -- >> guest: freedom works and the voluntary exchange of people working with one another, businesses, competition come incentive to do well, all of that works well and creates not only happiness that creates more prosperity in a society and the more the united states has moved in that direction the better we have a come until the late 1800's and early 1900s became complete world leaders and economic development. >> host: what is the process like for you to do car ride book? >> guest: bird is smiling. it's difficult writing a book with your spouse. we have done three. >> guest: we have done three so somehow we survived it. part of it is we each have expertise in certain areas and so we leave the other one alone in that area so we are each writing chapters. when the other one gets the chapters, that sometimes stirs up some controversy. we have done well. the lord has guided us and we have reduced three book

it is a fountain of strength and attained of higher the highest souls and signed by franklin roosevelt. if you look back at our history, the very first book authorized to be published by the u.s. congress at government expense was the bible. you had the supreme court in the first 50 years saying, of course, the bible should be taught. it's the best book for teaching our children. . and now the government says, really, christians are a big hate group that we demeed to worry about. that they're -- need to be worried about. that their talk of christianity is hate speech. homophobia, islamaphobia. what these people who have become wise in their own eyes don't realize is that really, this book, this bible, is about love. that god so loved the world he gave his son and that his son so loved the world he gave his life. that's a religion based on love. and jesus went on to say, two great commandments, love god, love each other. after i became a parent and my mother was about to die and she said her favorite thing was her kids being there with her and loving each other, it made all the sense in

an independent agency as envisioned by franklin roosevelt. i think that is to be revitalized. these are independent expert agencies who should not be part of the executive branch which is what congress set up. you appoint good people who understand the subject matter and decide what is best. regardless of the outcome, i think you would agree with me on that. that will be a major point for improvement. one question seems to be looking at who president-elect lead the had picked to transition. one big question is there is tension between establishment figures between folks who want to shake up the system, if you will. what is your expectation for that tension as it applies to the fcc? michael: the first thing we nomineesdo is confirm for the federal communications commission. jessica is not knowing if she will be a commissioner because it is strictly partisan politics. democrat and republicans realizes her expertise, respects her expertise. there was no more diverse experience and knowledge in the telecommunications industry. she's sitting out there not knowing if she will be on

it was also a very real concern for franklin roosevelt.in addition to all the usual concerns that any sitting president feels when being confronted with the threat of a mass march, roosevelt was worried that the president so many black demonstrators in washington would cause increased worldwide attention to the fact that washington, d.c. was a very segregated city. the humiliation of racial discrimination in washington, d.c. were best summed up in this photograph. have any of you seen this before? today, according parks is one of the best-known photographers of the 20th century, he also directed "shaft." at the time, he was just another african-american employee resident of washington, d.c. who was forced to deal with the humiliation of discrimination. his first day in the city, i think he got thrown out of 3-4 different establishments. yet been hired work as a photographer but when he would try to take photos, he kept getting thrown out because he was running afoul of segregation laws. at the end of the day, he spent the evening sitting i
