>> franklin roosevelt, unlike truman's nominees to the court, franklin roosevelt's nominees are well known by many americans. certainly by anyone who has suffered their way through law school. there were these profound jurist's. they were giant pillars of the law. they did not like each other. perhaps that goes hand in hand. they did not get long. it was not just a matter of audiology, which it was. they agreed on new deal policy, but i did not agree on too much of it. there was a fact that they personally came to dislike each other in this insular environment. they had to work closely together without eight clerks that justices have now. they had a clerk, but it was not what we have today. they had to work more closely together. they had come to actively dislike each other. they suspected each other's ambitions. you end up with a situation that franklin roosevelt ended up with. a few justices think that justices appointed by the same president. they think that the same president but appointed them, that justice wants to be president himself. he is there for skewing his vote to posit

he nominated franklin roosevelt to the court of appeals. it was seen to this day and accurately so the second most important federal court in the united states. and then world war ii breaks out, franklin roosevelt says i need you. frankly vincent is here to get off the bench and participate more actively in the war effort. world war i america's involvement when the war ended just as vincent had finished basic training. he felt like he had missed out or world war i. so we wanted to contribute now in his later years in world war ii and a more direct manner. so he left his lifetime appointment with tenure in the pension and everything that comes with it agreed to become a cabinet member for franklin roosevelt hopscotch two different jobs. they stopped holding confirmation hearings for did stop holding votes for vincent. the white house but that nomination shoot down an office of emergency management. nominate for treasury secretary gets the most votes. they all knew him, they had voted on him so many times and said this is a matter of course f

fra franklin roosevelt could be been more vociferous in his opposition. could have rid the state department of antisemihits, and we could have yelled louder about what was happening at the time and we did not do that, and because of that, we failed. had we let in five times as many people, i suggest we still would have failed. >> one of the utterly tragic incidents that you recount in the film is that of m.s. st. louis, the ship that was carrying the 900 jews that left hamburg, germany, and was not permitted into the canada or the united states. 254 of its passengers later perished in the holocaust. some scholars have argued that fdr, there are things he could have done and that it was apathy towards the jewish condition, the jewish refugees that came to characterize his approach to jewish refugees generally, fair or not fair? >> so the st. louis happens before the second world war has begun. it's the spring of 1939. we're not in the war. the war in europe hasn't happed. do i think the united states could have done more around the st. louis and it is on o

the 32nd you as president, led the country from 1933 to 1945. franklin roosevelt came from an extraordinarily wealthy family, a very high elite socialite family dating back to the 1600s. the roosevelt family. the delano family were old money that had built their fortunes in merchant ah, ship building other trades. roosevelt was a pragmatist. and when it suited american interests was prepared to co operate with the soviet union. it was under his rule that you, a soviet diplomatic relations were established in 1933. franklin delano roosevelt is recognized by many in the american historical and academic and political ranks. is one of the greatest for term presidents in history. the only president to ever, sir. 4 terms, in fact, for his work in resuscitating the united states after an economic depression that occurred after the fall of the stock market in the 19 twenty's. the big 3 is how the allied 2nd world war leaders were known. they had different personalities, were from very different backgrounds and had opposing views, each defended their own peoples and ruling classes, interests that miss

the real issue behind this is they believed franklin roosevelt was ultimately setting the stage for thehe antichrist. diabolical world leader who's going to take power to the ends of times. they were convinced we are living at the end of history. so in their minds and their magazines and on the radio stations they were continuously looking for signs that would tell us how close we were to what the bible describes as the rapture, the armageddon the rise of the antichrist and the second coming of jesus. ultimately they felt fdr was preparing the 9 cents for those events where there is some debate among them whether or not he was doing it consciously and explicitly like was he purposely working for the devil because that's what he wanted to do or was he naÏve just not really aware behind the decisions he was making. roosevelt was a problem so let's talk a little bit might even general goals were growing and power all try to watch my language, i confuse the terms they use for themselves at 20s and 30s they called themselves fundamentalist to the 1940s today they tend to call themselves evan

from franklin roosevelt to teddy roosevelt and william howard taft. and as i say i wouldn't change it for anything in the world. so i'm so grateful to have become an historic historian and so glad to be among presidential descendants is so exciting for me to meet all of you today. so here we are and i'm going to talk to you today really about the presidents that i know the best which are lincoln teddy franklin and lbj and how they found time in this terrible times of pressure. we're living in a really difficult time. now as you all know, there's a cascading series of crises and we have to find ways to find ourselves in the midst of it all one thing. i think that history can teach us is the most important lesson is that we've been through really difficult times before really really hard times the civil war the great depression world war two and the thing is that we know how those crises ended. we know that the civil war ended with emancipation secure in the union restored. we know the great depression came to an end when there was a mobilization for wo

franklin roosevelt had an absentee father. his mother lived in the white house with him until she died in 1940. harry truman had a wayward father. his mother was a disciple of christ. you had the ida type figure, the inspiration. harry must have been very important to his mother. she confused him with a lot of idealism. part eisenhower was -- dwight eisenhower was somebody the family relied on to a large extent. his father was disappointed in many ways, david was. he gambled in a business venture in the late 1880's. in 1890. he suffered the stigma. having lost a farm. that was a big deal for mennonites. in a community for the farmers. i say that made him a very tough guy. i think dwight eisenhower probably budget horns with him fairly often. by the time -- same token, he is being inspired by a very observant mother who won bible quotation contests all over dickenson county and that sort of thing. kennedy appears an exception. his father was a real taskmaster. his mother was a beautiful rose. look at lyndon johnson. his mother

which take sister franklin roosevelt.they looked at him and they understood him in the context of all these other things going on. there was in no doubt that his campaign in 1932 cut off to an ominous start. on the first set of ballots of the democratic national convention roosevelt received 666. 666 votes. when i first read that being a fundamentalist magazine about his too good to be true but that cannot really be true. i went back to look at the records and sure enough that was absolutely the case. this already set fundamentals on edge believing there something going on here that's linking roosevelt to the antichrist. after the election to be interviewed roosevelt in the same light as other totalitarian leaders per. >> watch this program and thousands more c-span.org/history. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ carl ♪ ♪ rex the bird on the wing is a pretty

what he called a crusade against collective and became franklin roosevelt's most formidable critic. the right. hoover perceived in the new not a pragmatic response to economic distress, but something more sinister, a form collectivism that if would destroy the foundations of american. i terrify and identifying himself what he now called historic liberalism. he relented, assailed what he termed the liberalism and totalitarian tendencies of, the new deal. on one occasion, he declared the new deal, having corrupted liberalism for collectivism, coercion and concentrÉ version of political power, it seems historic liberalism must be conservatism in contrast and thus in the final phase of his long political journey. hoover became a man of the right during his four years as president of hoover in certain ways, foreshadowed the new deal. but in the larger sweep of the 20th century hoover as, a former president, contributed mightily to containing the new deal and to reinvigorating the political philosophy that he had expounded the white house. in the process, he forged a critique of ever aggr

though i might lose. >> in 1940 was struck by your conversation with the president, it's that franklin roosevelt concerned about the strength of and the rise of fascism in america. >> he was. >> but we know that that concern basically ended on december 7th 1941, a year later when the japanese bombed pearl harbor. and the country just had this unanimously, virtually unanimously unifying event which was joining together for world war ii. but that is not the way it was just a few years before that. >> no, that's exactly right, even one year before that as you know from studying history just as well as i do, 1940, roosevelt was saying i hope to stay out of a war against hitler and the japanese, but i am not chair. let's make sure we have enough defense. his opponents wonder wilkie was at least pretending to be very anti war and thank, you worked for roosevelt, your children are going to be underground. he actually said things like that. and wilkie was making a lot of headway in october if that election had been held a lot earlier, wilkie could have gotten elected. >> and as we go forward in this, wh

presidential aids and again private individuals were coming into the white house that began with with franklin roosevelt. now roosevelt's only taped about eight hours of material the miller center in fact beginning in july is going to begin a project on the roosevelt takes and it should be very exciting. we'll be able to finish that up over the course of the academic year and then publish shortly thereafter, but it wasn't just roosevelt. harry truman taped he didn't like the whole prospect of taping. he's thought it was unethical unethical as did roosevelt as well roosevelt taped from august of 1940 until just after he was elected in november of 1940 and then never taped again. he was uncomfortable with with doing so truman was very uncomfortable with doing so after finding out from fdr an fdr's aids really that that fdr had taped truman tried it a couple times, but but he didn't want anything more to do with it. and so really after april of 1945. he didn't touch it. so i'd eisenhower taped a little bit four or five hours or so really idiosyncratic. it's hard to get a a good sense of rhyme or reasons to

franklin roosevelt wouldn't have been able to break down the lines in the cold war and he would havead to deal with the things that made harry truman unpopular during his presidency and how to deal with the things that made it conventionally unpopular and scandal and all about. >> we got a question asking either of you to talk about parallels between john wilkes booth and john brown or the connections between them with romping something of inspiration for booth. both being there at the execution of john brown, either of you talk about john wilkes booth and john brown together? >> booth was an actor and he left to go witnessed the execution of john brown but he looked at john brown, obviously he detested john brown stood for, a white supremacist and hated abolitionists but he was struck by john brown, they were there so eventually john brooks booth of the center, it was ironic a lot of southerners had much more positive things to say about john, they demonized him but admired under pressure, there is a thing about southern honor so i think john wilkes booth and john brown in reverse.

franklin roosevelt would have to deal with the breakdown in the grand alliance. he would've had to deal with the things that made harry truman unpopular during his presidency. he would've had to deal with the stuff that make ulysses grant unpopular, lincoln did. >> we have got a question asking either of you to talk about the parallels between john wilkes booth and john brown, where the connections between them, with brown being something of an inspiration for booth. brown boots being there for the execution of john brown. can either of you talk about john wilkes booth and john brown together? >> goose was a an actor and he left the stage enrichment to go witness the execution of john brown. he looked at john brown, obviously he detested everything john brown's stood for. luce was a white supremacist, and hated abolitionists. but it was really, really struck by the moxie of john brown on the scuffle. john brown was the calmest person there. and so, eventually, john wilkes booth calls john brown the grandest man of the century. it was ironic that a lot of southern

that president was franklin roosevelt in writing an introduction to the 1941 national nutrition conference for defense. what was true in 1941 and in 1969 at the first white house conference on food and nutrition, and health is still true today. food and nutrition security are central to our national security and to our economic future. the first white house conference on food and nutrition more than 50 years ago made significant progress towards reducing food insecurity. today, usda runs nutrition assistance programs that serve one in four americans every year. however, food and nutrition insecurity still remains unacceptably high. we also face a rise in prevalence of disease related, diet related diseases like obesity, hypertension and diabetes that hit underserved communities. there's progress, food insecurity in households among children is the lowest in two decades. i'm encouraged by this but all of us in attendance agree much more needs to be done. this conference matters and we should all thank gnat torrs booker and brawn and had more for their leadership in calling for this summit a

of 1860 by saying the house can't stand, half labor have free, we have to choose. 1940 when franklin roosevelt for a third term, just as you just mentioned, roosevelt didn't say the paramount issue this year is the minimum wage, although that was pretty important, or whether texans get an oil depletion allowance or something like this. he said look, these are all important, but what is really at stake at this moment is whether our children are going to get to live in an american democracy, especially with hitler and the fascists looming in europe and marching. so i said, and the others said i am happy to be transparent about it to president biden. this is like 1860. this is like 1940. you have to talk about the large issue in the room, and just as lincoln gave the house divided speech, just as roosevelt gave a speech on the state of the union about the four freedoms, as you well know, 1941, here is the time when president biden has chosen. by the way we didn't help him write this speech. i didn't give political vies nor did any of us. good thing, it would be pretty sad, because we're not afrai

franklin roosevelt would've had to deal with a breakdown of the grand alliance and the emergence of the cold war. he would've had to deal with harry truman really unpopular during the presidency. he would've had to deal with the stuff that made -- eventually unpopular. the scandal, all that other stuff too. >> right. right. we've got a question asking either of you to talk about the parallels between john wilkes booth and john brown, or the connections between them. with brown being something of an inspiration for booth. brown, of course, booth and being there at the execution of john brown. can either of you talk about john wilkes booth and john brown together? >> well, booth was, of course, an actor. he left the stage just to go witness the execution of john brown. he looked that john brown, obviously he detested everything john brown stood for. and booth was a white supremacist and hated abolitionism. but he was really, really struck by the moxie of john brown. john brown was the calmest person there we, the very calmest person them. eventually, john wilkes booth calls john brown the

franklin roosevelt had 319 democrats in the house. we have do this carefully and i'm proud of the courage of our members. this was the residence should be very, very scared this morning about their prospects. i had never believed we would not hold the house. that's my mission and hope to accomplish and i have a floon do it under sean patrick had a victory last night. our chair. but this one -- they expected to win and they out spent us but we out organized them. and that's when. we don't agonize we organize. [inaudible] we had it in this bill reduce the cost insulin we had the bill on the floor on its own without anything else. and we only got 20 republican votes that means 190 residence voted against it. this bill had more because it had [inaudible] reduction of this or that. since they think the climate crisis is a hoax you see well they had that excuse not to vote but when it was insulin alone, only able to get. we thought -- how could they resist this. insulin is costing 6 or 300 an among. this take its down to a 35 a month copay.

eleanor roosevelt the wife of franklin delano roosevelt a really powerfully invested in improving people's lives, so she became a great champion of the subsistence homestead communities and was like the i sponsor for the arthur dale community and invested a lot of her time coming to our 30 linear regular basis and was out there multiple times a year. she was a mover in the subsistence homestead movement and s of the division and she ws a strong advocate and a number of ways. order to build houses cheaply, you can do that more efficiently if you don't put a bathroomom and or kitchen. you don't have plumbing or electricity you can make the houses and a number of people in the roosevelt administration were saying they are coming from coal mining communities they don't have electricity now they don't have indoor plumbing now, why would we provide all t those things for them in these homes but she said no, no. we have to provide houses with indoor toilets h and kitchens, electricity. these are the things that would allow someone to live with dignity so she's an advocate of the eso's in the home

supply of arms to england was lifted france and after the nazi attack on the ussr , president franklin rooseveltr country, a law on supplies was passed. we are full of lies, but the final turning point occurred in december 1941 after japan attacked the us navy base in pearl harbar, then the us immediately declared war on japan, and hitler, as an ally of japan, declared war on the us on september 5, 1977, the americans launched the space umbrella voyager one the automatic interplanetary station was supposed to explore the solar system and most importantly. the apparatus then studied jupiter and saturn for the first time transmitted detailed images of these planets and their satellites, and then flew as part of an additional mission, the boundary of the heliosphere, the voyager control system can be programmed from the ground. and this made it possible to change scientific programs and bypass malfunctions. the mission was designed for 5 years, but voyager one is still operating, as well as part of its scientific equipment, the station receives energy from three radioisotope generators that run on

office romance in the 1932 election of the victory of franklin roosevelt, no one doubted, herbert hoovero had bothered everyone as president, even received a telegram. vote for roosevelt and he will win how unanimously quite right, they say they will vote for hoover, only he himself 200. last fall , a barbershop opened briefly in the concert hall of amsterdam, and fitness equipment appeared in the museum, the action was directed against these restrictions covid restrictions. quite right, hairdressing fitness clubs, institutions, cultures worked, no. according to scientists, the golden silver pipes from the ancient kurgan in adygea were used for this practical purpose much more environmentally friendly than the current plastic pipes, suppose they drank through them right? questions from the bank of russia for 200 soviet banknotes of 1 ruble put into circulation in 1938, a representative of this particular one of the most prestigious professions in the country was depicted with a jackhammer on his shoulder with a hammer. this miner is correct. this bill to be or not to be 800. heavy japane

. >> here in the united states, the longest serving president, franklin roosevelt, 12, 13 years.his is 70 years. there are generations who have no memory of not having the queen. you mentioned the commonwealth, what do you think, what's the future there of the monarchy as well for some of these other countries? and we know this passing comes a few year, after brexit, independence for one, and what happens? >> i think it is a low moving train in this situation, but all headed in the direction that more countries decides that they don't need king charles as head of state. in many ways, queen elizabeth's era was one of loss, she provide -- presided over the loss of an empire and she was able to be extraordinary and built something out of those ashes and that is a commonwealth. a friendly group of nations and 56 countries but only 14 of them have britain, have the monarchy as their head of state. and so i think we're going to see that diminish. so it may remain a friendly group of nations, but australia, for example, will have another referendum, probably in the sort of two to five-y

or franklin roosevelt in the 1930s saying there are fascists among us who are dangerous.r 1940s saying, we americans have to choose whether or not to armor cells to hitler and the imperial japanese. pretty divisive. but that is part of the job. >> now i want to get you on the classified documents controversy. you tweeted, those empty folders are ominous. what else has you worried right now? >> the first thing that has me worried is, you know, just as you're saying jonathan. those empty folders. where are those documents? this was, you know, let's just think of the worse. there is no evidence for this yet. but saying that the ex president was selling them, or handing them to our enemies. or even to our friends, and should not have had those. he could've done that without given the physical documents. so what makes this ominous is not only the fact that some of our morals classified national secrets have very possibly gotten into the wrong hands, what was going on here that the documents have just disappeared? one of the things agree to don 's keep control of its secrets. h
