>> franklin roosevelt won world war ii without a national security council. the rest of government kind of thought he needed one because he kept things pretty tight and kept secrets to himself. didn't talk to many many people. a lot of government at a time of global war, at a time of nuclear weapons, wanted to bring everybody together into one room. they created a council to include the president, secretary of state, secretary of defense and others and when congress said, hey, we're getting all the big names in the room, we have to give them a little staff to make sure they show up on time and keep the minutes. >> and let's talk about that staff. that staff has also been referred to as the deep state. >> uh-huh. >> my question to you is, how much of the nsc stays intact at the nsc from president to president to president? what is the there, there beyond the political appointees? >> so from that humble secretarial beginning as grown almost to 300 or 400-person staff in the heart of government. >> wow. >> depending, you know, shrinks and grows a little bit with

franklin roosevelt did want not want to see general de gaulle become the leader of france he wanted elections in the midst of french chaos. eisenhower found a crafty way around the presidents views. they suppress his ego again suppressed his ego again by letting charles de gaulle's march at the apparent liberators of france. finally he had the courage to look his men in the eyes as he made decisions that would seal their fate. he had this courage in the way he lived and i know first hand he had this courage in the way he died. we are here today to remember the iconic operation overlord. it is a special subject for me. i've been privileged to take three groups of students to normandy, is there a more apt case study on strategy and leadership than operation overlord? while we might start out informationally with the tough decisions eisenhower had to make at the end of the day it is a story of the fighting men who took those beaches, secured a beachhead for the liberation of europe and continued to the final day in may in 1945. tuesday kids go to those beaches and to stand there i always take th

and one problem is that donald trump in a certain sense has a lot more power than franklin roosevelt ught it was a good idea we entered and fought. roosevelt felt it was inevitable woe have to stand up to adolf hitler. for four years he was struggling with congress and isolationists and if it wasn't pearl harbor we wouldn't get in. nowadays a president can get us in hand single-handedly. >> now french president emanuel macron.

franklin roosevelt sent eleanor. to walk amongst those men and say that there will be a better day. but even since those times we have experienced homelessness, world war ii veterans, korean war veterans. most prominently those fromvietnam but even today with iraq and with afghanistan. roosevelt himself heeded the lessons that he saw heeded the lessons that he saw in those streets bypa passing 75 years a this week signing the g.i. bill, the most transformativ e piece of legislation in this country other than the civil rights act, because it provided the impetus of the rest of the american century. but they were still american veterans who were still not made whole. now, today because of you're efforts, we are seeing a sea change in the way this country addresses those veterans who have fallen on hard times. there are a number of states who can tell you to this day that they have effectively ended veterans' homelessness by making it rare, brief and nonrecurring. hundreds of communities have made that same claim. new orleans, houston, jacksonville. just last week the city of lexington

this is a quote from franklin delano roosevelt. i think it pretty much describes, not pretty much, it definitely describes how i view my job and how i view what i would hope to be the work of the congress of the united states. so here's this quote. the test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much . it is, rather, whether we provide enough for those who have too little. is statement of value really flows down to much of what we do here. and we make a choice. almost every day. in ways that are very direct. for example, when we talk about social security or indirect when we talk about war and peace. in war, the men and women who die are generally those who have little, not those who have much. i want to keep this in mind. i want to talk about several pieces of legislation that we're working on right now. want to talk about seniors. now way back when, franklin roosevelt established the social security system in the height of the great depression. social security was a pension system. over the

the way i came to this book, many years ago i became aware of a fishing trip franklin roosevelt took 760 miles northwest of here, up in the canadian shield country and in later years when i was working in back rooms supporting national security discussions and negotiations which is always a contentious and demanding process from time to time, i wondered about that fishing trip. ashington literally was the global capital. how could he leave at a critical in deciding how to go forward, point what did he do up there? when i retired and started tracing the red it led so very -- some very interesting places as i hope you will agree. so some background, the beginning of 1943 saw the allies at a very important turning point. in three pivotal battles, midway, el alamein and stalingrad, they had beaten off the threat of defeat in 1942. now they were going on the offensive against and the big challenge for the americans and the british was how best to win in europe. they had different goals for how the war should end. britain and the united states favored differing strategies. a more basic pro

franklin delano roosevelt talked about freedom of expression, freedom to worship in one's own way, freedom from want, freedom from fear. are those among the things that go through your mind as you sit there and look at the row upon row of markers behind you, those crosses and those stars of david? >> absolutely. this was an incredible battle. it was hill for everybody who participated in it. but the people who did fight and die and those who fought and lived all believed that they were fighting for something hugely important, to defeat dictatorship, to defeat tierney, to defeat the kind of nationalism these days we would call it white nationalism that we now see is resurgent on the european continent and even in the united states of america. so i think there is a kind of an irony right now that those kinds of freedoms, those basic freedoms that franklin roosevelt talked about are not under threat by military action. they are under threat through the political process and the kinds of people who are emerging as leaders both in europe and in the united states. img that's a cautionary tale an

point about the international situation is definitely true because trying to understand for franklin roosevelt to understand how the u.s. fit into this whole new world dynamic and trying to actually establish american prestige in the fight against not seasoned, it almost necessitated this idea that you had to address the problem of slavery, the problem of racial oppression within the u.s., and certainly african americans making that point very clearly. i think one way that roosevelt and others tried to address that idea is by making lincoln into such an important symbol, by suggesting there is a history of racial oppression in the u.s., but then there is lincoln. we have a shrine for abraham lincoln. there is a possibility of combating that racial oppression in american history. >> think you for being here. father,talk, i heard healer, shrine. for a time i have thought about lincoln being assassinated on good friday. does theon is, attention to lincoln become nearly religious, and what would lincoln think about that?
