and ironically it led to al smith abandoning his own and endorsing when they ran against franklin eleanor roosevelt for the reelection campaign. and it was kind of a black mark on al smith. nonetheless, franklin eleanor roosevelt kept up the friendship and it's an interesting friendship and alliance and also incredible social history about the working conditions for the working men and women. al smith at the time of his careeprime of hiscareer was a ge and clearly was a preamble to franklin d-delta roosevelt's new deal in the progressive tradition. great, great political history and well-done. and finally, a book i want to highlight a there's a lot of people who get the history wrong about franklin eleanor roosevelt during the nazi period in the 30s and during world war ii about what he could do and didn't give. this book is a more sympathetic portrait of franklin eleanor roosevelt was dealing with and what he tried to do. there are a lot of pressures in the united states at the time, not very many privy to these pressures and he had to face those headlines and he was constantly pressing the system

they recognized that the growth of the state had been tedy roosevelt, woodrow wilson, franklin radio roosevelt, lyndon johnson. executive e feared power. then republicans had the heady experience of ronald reagan as president. and they too fell in love with executive power. i think many of my progressive friends are rethinking the romance of executive power in the current context. which is -- there are some good things that are going to come out of. his one of them is the revival of congressional institutional pride that is overdue. when franklin roosevelt delivered shortly after his inauguration his first fireside chat, he began with two words that don't appear in the transcript as it is at the library at hyde park. the two words were, my friends. now, we're so used to this fake intimacy we have with the chief executive of the united states that no one today is startled by that, we've after all had a president who said i feel your pain which of course he didn't do. no one feel others people's pains. but never mind. some of us don't want the president to be our friend. we want the pre

it seems pretty clear that franklin roosevelt would have done even more with the fbi, both had hoovernot stopped him , and had roosevelt not died, those are two interesting moments in the 40s in which roosevelt was really pushing for fbi expansion, and in one case, hoover is a constraint, and in another, roosevelt died. when japanese internment comes along, there is a lot of enthusiasm for the fbi to begin managing japanese internment, hoover actually pushes back against that, the department of justice and fbi both opposed the policy of japanese internment, and so, it happens in large part through other channels. and, at the moment, that roosevelt died, he was actually considering taking up hoover's idea that when the war came to an end it ought to be the fbi in charge of local surveillance, turning the fbi into a proto-cia. in the 1930s, the point to take away is that the fbi is not operating on its own. it is operating both in conversation with congress, in conversation with the presidency and in many ways is being empowered by the president's own agenda. hoover is certainly pushing

one significant exception was the american president, franklin roosevelt, who did not like charles de gaulle. ,oosevelt was not alone in that but roosevelt continued to charles dele that gaulle was not elected, in the united states could not recognize charles de gaulle as president without a democratic process. we can identify with that to a degree, but despite roosevelt's reluctance to recognize charles de gaulle by the spring and summer of 1944, as i said, most had accepted de gaulle as their leader, including the various resistance factions in france, and there were many. there were many, but they had decided to set aside their political differences for the moment to present a united front against the german occupiers, and they collectively became known as the french forces of , andnterior, or the ffi they acknowledged fair for the de gaulle for the moment as their leader. in france, and more specifically ofparis, over that summer 1944, tensions begin to rise in the city, especially after the day when the allies landed in normandy. on june 14, bastille day, the french equivalent to

it goes all the way back to the 1930's and franklin roosevelt when they organized as an anti-labor movement to oppose roosevelt's new deal. and in the present day, they seek to exert influence as they put it sort of behind the scenes , that's their terms. the leader, longtime leader of the group is a man named doug coe, who says the more invifble -- invisible you can make your organization, the more influence it will have. which is true, which is why we have lobbying and disclear law which over the years they have managed to evade. soledad: so is it about their religion or is it about just amassing power for purposes that are out of religion? jeff: you know, i almost sort of want to say yes, yes to both of those things. their religion is sort of distinct. it's not the kind of evangelcalism that most people would be familiar with this their churches. doug coe says, trying to explain how he understands who jesus is -- he says to understand jesus you don't speak of, you know, a lion or a lamb. the common denominator of those monsters he says, you look at the strong man of history, says look, a

franklin roosevelt was trying to help the british through lease and other actions.ng it took pearl harbor before we got involved. when you think about it, we were slow to get into the first world war. this reluctance to engage in military action abroad is strong. how this will all play out in contemporary terms -- it would take someone much smarter and in this whole dimension to answer that. host: you have written how many books? guest: 15, edited and written 15 peer the 16th is the one on mr. churchill of the white house. host: let's go to new jersey. good morning. caller: after listening to all of this, president obama, we never had a president like him. he would be the reason why we should have a one term. what he managed to do -- the debt of the deductibles -- because of obama, we really have no health care system at all. the deductibles are so high. it is like having no insurance whatsoever. if you're deductibles $20,000, you never go to the hospital. the debt means none of the things democrats want to do now can be done. we cannot have medicare for all. we can

want the president for a candidate to support them so james from ohio is running with a young franklin roosevelt as his vice president and partner and then we have warren g harding who is also running from ohio and they are being pressed by the suffragist and anti-y suffragist. so you do see the presidential election is what is happening in nashville. >>host: eureka california good morning. >>caller: i just want to pass on from my late grandmother who was a part of the whole suffrage movement in minnesota back in the day to get the vote. then she was an educator as well. so she started a private organization at that time a lot of the women that could not own property or cash a check so they had a private group which nobody knew and they would collect money to send girls to school and i just wanted to pass that on. >> that is fascinating. thank you for sharing that. t.one of the great things as i tour around the country talking about the suffrage movement i have been tota minnesota it was a very vibrant grassroots activism there and a scandinavian women suffrage association who actually would go

time francis perkins become the state's leading experts on working conditions and later when franklin roosevelt was elected governor, he appointed her to have his labor department in albany and at four years after that, in the depths of the great depression, when roosevelt became president, he asked francis to come to washington to address the crisis as territory of labor for the entire nation. >> francis burton became the first woman in history to serve in the cabinets. and what did she push for when she got there? big structural change. >> use the same model she and her friends had use after the triangle fire. he works the political system relentlessly from the inside while a sustained movement applied pressure from the outside . as breakfast burton put it, triangle fire was the day that new deal was born. so here's what i want you to thinkabout . what did one woman, one very persistent woman. [applause] one woman backed up by millions of people of across this country get done? social security. unemployment insurance. abolition of child labor. minimum wage. the right to join a union. and even

he was a political rival with cousin franklin roosevelt during the great depression. but when world war ii started, the two cousins put their differences aside. theodore junior wanted to get into the military again. initially, he served as the commander in the first infantry division. he served in the big red one, which was one of the few battle tested divisions to go into normandy. however, roosevelt did not gain a lot of acclaim or trust in the eyes of omar bradley or george patton. theodore roosevelt junior had a very laid-back command persona and that was not up to snuff with someone who was as spit and polish as george patton was. omar bradley thought he had gotten too comfortable and too cozy with some of the soldiers, and there wasn't that rigid discipline that makes a good soldier a good soldier. he was removed from command from the first infantry division. he landed a spot as the assistant division commander in the fourth infantry division in the months immediately prior to the normandy invasion. roosevelt pleaded with his commander, general barton. and he wa

he was in fact a political rival with cousin franklin roosevelt during the great depression. when world war ii started the two cousins put their differences aside. theodore jr. wanted to get into the military again. he served as a commander in the fifth infanty division. he served in the big red one, which is one of the few battle tested divisions to go into normandy. however, roosevelt didn't gain a lot of acclaim or trust in the eyes of omar bradley or george patton. theodore roosevelt jr. had a very laid back command persona, and that didn't -- that wasn't up to snuff with somebody who was spit and polish as george patton was, and omar bradley thought he got a little bit too comfortable and perhaps a bradley thought he got too comfortable and too laid back with some of the soldiers and there wasn't that rigid discipline that made a good sold year a good soldier. so he demoted. and landed a spot in the 4th infantry division in the months prior to the normandy invasion. roosevelt pleaded with his commander, raymond tub by barton, he was unceasing and wanted to go ashore with

>> i would say franklin roosevelt, sort of zig-zag way, more important than that. >> you admire lincoln as many people do, if you would have a chance to have dinner with him, what would you ask him? >> actually a lot of things that i would probably ask, but less necessary to have dinner with lincoln than it would be to have dinner with washington. lincoln has extremely detailed papers, letters, a lot of them are preserved in the library of congress, you have a pretty good paper trail plus, you know, lincoln died at the age of 56 at a time when a lot of people who had known him almost all of his life were doing books, law partner interviewed a lot of people and so the result, lincoln, we would always like to know but the paper trail is pretty good, the paper trail we do not have is george washington for a lot of reasons. so if i'm allowed to have my dinner with george washington. >> you did the johnson tapes, is that right? if you had a chance to ask johnson one question, why would you ask him? >> why would you feel so compel today get in vietnam war when you knew it wasn't going -- 680

net -- a humanitarian intervention would benefit the nazi occupiers, winston churchill and franklin roosevelt blocked his efforts. you will hear more about this aspect of his career later in another presentation. ended, hooverr ii was a catalyst for the creation of the international children's emergency fund. maurice pate became unicef's first executive director and was that for 20 years. peyton later declared it was hoover who originally had the the fund ining up the framework of the united nations. thanks in considerable measure to hoover's persistence. eight the innocent was born. 1947, as millions of people in europe and asia faced with a would call the greatest famine in all history, the aging humanitarian traveled around the world to 38 countries on an arduous -- arduous survey mission undertaken by the request of president harry truman. his meticulous fact-finding and high-profile competition with world leaders helped to expedite surplus foods to strip -- two suffering nations to avoid mass starvation. nothing touched hoover more deeply than the travails of world war i that he has done

go up and they're both froe ohio, and james who is from ohio, he is running with the young franklin roosevelt as a ltvice presidential partner and then we have warned you hurting who is running for ohio and they're both be impressed by the suffragists in thehe anti-suffragists. in using the presidential election is really is for all the things that are happening in nashville. >> robert calling in from california. good morning robert. >> i wanted to pass on for my late grandmother, who is part of the whole suffrage movement back in the day so she started this private organization. at that time, a lot of t the won could not own property or cash a check. so they had this private party called the peo which nobody else knew. the guys did not know this. but that was called pop t seepig out. they would get money to send girls to school and i wanted to pass on. >> that is fascinating. thank you for sharing that. one of the great thing is i turned around the country, talking about my book in the suffrage movement, i've been to minnesota and there was very vibrant activism there and there was a scandin

during a secret summit at sea in august of 1941, franklin roosevelt and winston churchill attended a church service above the prince of wales. together they saying onward christian soldiers and eternal father strong to save. afterward, fdr remarked, onward christian soldiers. yes, we are christian soldiers, and we will go on. with god's help. and on we went. a product of that rendezvous between fdr and churchill is the atlantic charter, a statement that war aims and the struggle against fascism and totalitarianism. without a great charter in jamestown, there might not have been an atlantic charter amid the wins of the second world war. more broadly, without a jamestown in 1619, there might not have been a lexington and concord in 1775. nor a philadelphia in 1776 and 1787. nora senecal falls in 1848, an omaha beach in 1944, nor a wall in 1965, nor a stone in 1989.nor a berlin in our search, in our hunger for a way forward, through the maelstrom of twitter and tribalism, i would commend -- the very kind of remembrance we are undertaking at this hour. the beginning of wisdom lies in an

that the president was using his power... 0k, imagine if franklin roosevelt said to winston churchillf that is disgusting from the leader of the free world, the commander in chief, and somebody that runs the country. so, i mean, yeah, look, it is what it is, stephen. however disgusted you may be, there is yet to be any compelling evidence the american public as a whole are sufficiently disgusted. they, according to the polls... crosstalk. hang on... well, that‘s not true. 70% of the american public says they dislike the president, according to the axios poll. i think the people are pretty disgusted with his style and his personality. but it does seem, it does seem from recent american history, that americans can vote for donald trump even if they don‘t like the guy. and we look at the polling evidence which shows, first of all, nancy pelosi right now has worse unfavourable ratings than donald trump in many of the recent polls. so she‘s got reason to worry that this might backfire on her. we also have polls which show over the last couple of years american people have not wanted to see

one focus on ahead of franklin roosevelt. the other one was on four key tournament who became cia directors. my next book, i decided to switch wars and write an ensemble biography of fort union of the union spies. i'm proud i made the switch. when we think of the civil war, we have this image of the imposing stiff in matthew brady photographs. then thousands of those charges. that all happened but what also happened on this conflict was a revolution in war fighting technology like the world had never seen. it's like rival canon, it could deliver more accurate longer ranges. enter railroad that could move supplies to the front. the telegraph that could connect generals on the battlefield with communications. this is a war that also saw change in how armies maneuver against each other. instead of the old napoleonic tactics where soldiers packed tightly together, military leaders on both sides started on the attacks that they could used to win. our commanders quickly discovered that with all these new weapons and tactics they ne

entered world war ii, our president, franklin d. roosevelt, put a call out. >> we must be the great arsenal of democracy. michigan and detroit in particular were quick to answer the call. they switched over to war manufacturing, including all of the automobile factories. one of the most successful factories that was built to make products for the war was ford motor company's will overrun the plant.- willow run this mural shows the innovation of making planes on an assembly line. the plant started construction in 1941. it was completed in 1942. 1940 3, 40 1000 people were working to build airplanes in this plant. by the end of the war, the factory had built just under 9000 b-24 bombers. at one point, they were rolling one off the line every 63 minutes. wartime work was very different. most of the able-bodied men who have worked in factories went off to serve in the war. , there was mass migration of people coming up from the south. detroit was so overcrowded that they had to live in tents in vacant lots. the war gave opportunity to color,nd pe

only one time since franklin roosevelt did one party keep the party for a third term in the white house. >> the house, we won the majority. no republican had been a committee chairman. few republican bills passed the house of representatives. there was very little policy role for the minority party. there was a frustration. most of of the members would never serve in the majority party during their congressional careers. >> if you don't think you can win the majority, how will you win the majority. >> the old bulls in our party decided they could live with the democrats and get a certain percentage of each bill and help change the direction without the coming majority. that was the concept that we hoped to break up and we believed the only way you made a realho difference and brought rl conservative policies to the country was to be in the majority. >> i was the one person with the drive and determination and persistence that we might eventually get there. >> he was somebody who aspired to leadership, and then others joined him and his conservative movement. but also his movement to cha

foreign trade zone act was signed into law in 1934 by president franklin roosevelt to stimulate trade while mitigating against the nex negative of frao keep economy in the united states. a foreign trade zone or ftz, is a designated area considered to be outside of u.s. commerce, allowing for benefits around duties and tariffs. the programme is administered through the ftz board by grantees like the port of san francisco. it is important to note that when the programme started, foreign trade zones were brick and mortar locations at the port of entry. with the changes in international shipping, such as containerrization, the programme shifted to an alternative site framework. this allows grantees to expands their service area and for private entities to activate an ftz at their own location which no longer needs to be directly connected to a port of entry. the ftz board and u.s. customs are wholly responsible for compliance and oversight of the operators which allows the grantee such as the port to offer this public utility to all of those that have been vetted by those two approved gov

franklin roosevelt in 1938 offers to be part of an international conference to talk to the dictators directly and see what they have in mind publicly, make them fess up. and chamberlain says i don't want to be any part -- get that man out of here. we don't need american intervention. this is 1938. we don't need american help because they're going to mess it up. i know what my policy is, and i'm going to carry it out and i believe in it. and i'm going to keep out of power people who disagree with me like winston churchhill who just want to take the risk of going to war. so, chamberlain goes to munich finally as part of the third meeting with hitler in fall of 1938 over the czech crisis. and he comes back believing that hitler really won't go any further once he gets the sudatan land in western czechoslovakia where the majority of people are german. hitler says i have no further territorial demands. the french prime minister is sick to his stomach. the french had a treaty with the czechs. the czechs were the only democratic state left in all of central europe. chamberlain says they're

we wanted to remind them of their great hero franklin roosevelt actually set up internment camps andput japanese americans and americans of japanese dissent and internment camps and as a matter of fact when you look at most of what was done in this country, it is the democratic party and more recently the left that has abused power. trump didn't setup the internment camps, that would be roosevelt. what they were trying to do is make sure that those kids are safe because they don't know who they are with. it's rather strange to have a political party come and they will talk about a republican .-full-stop it's strange to have a political party in this country that hates the country. i'm told i'm very provocative when i see these things. i don't care. the democratic party but it's the party first and that is what they do come up with a party first. i don't put republican first, do you? we are americans. wwe put the country first and talk about america. they put their party first so you havsayyou have a party thats the most successful economic system on the face of the earth. the best he

franklin roosevelt takes her to washington. the first woman to serve in the cabinet of a president of the united states. and what does she do? she leads her party. she leads from the inside. millions of people lead from the outside. expp what happens? well, she was woman with a plan, and they got big structural change. that's when we goin america a minimum wage. that's when we got unemployment insurance. that's with we got social security in america. shoot, that's when we actually got the weekend. this is big change! ( applause ) so, when-- when people say to me, "this is too hard. come on, government tjust goes on. government's captured by all the guys with all the money." i say, "wait a minute. in america, we've made big structural change before." think of it this way: what did they say to the suffragettes. "don't even try. it's too hard. quit now." what did they say to the early civil rights wrkers, the foot soldiers in the civil rights movement?" "too hard, give up now." to the early union organizers. "too hard, give up now
