>> so franklin roosevelt, unlike truman's nominees to the court roosevelt's nominees to the court are well-known by many americans and certainly by anyone who has suffered their way through law school. a profound jurist and a giant name of the law. they didn't like each other. they did not get along and it wasn't just a matter of ideology, which it was. they agreed on policy but they didn't agree on too much else. it also was a matter of they personally dislike each other in a very difficult environment where they had to work closely together without the clerks that justices have not. their clerks but it's not like what we have today. tthey had come to actively dislike each other and suspect each others' ambitions. so in a situation which franklin roosevelt, i should say the supreme court ended up with were a few justices appointed by the same president that the same president who appointed him if that justices want to be president himself and therefore is perhaps doing his best to position himself and speaking of robert h. jackson is possibly the finest writer ever on the supreme cou

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

this is the franklin roosevelt that we're used to. so he he manages to rebound and he wins an unprecedented fourth term as president in november. so one of the campaigns that we've talked about is over. he's been reelected, but in the wake of that election, he begins to focus on something else. could you talk a bit about that, david? the thing to keep in mind, you know, as we get to the point where he's been reelected in 1944, there was a great deal of uncertainty. again, this is one of the things that's so interesting about the final months of his life. the allies were finally success following, breaking out from the normandy landings in late july 1944, and all of a sudden they swept across france. they took the city of paris, they got into belgium, they got into southern holland. and there was a great deal of expectation that the war would be over by christmas. people were just euphoric about this seeming collapse of the german army and rapid advance of the allies, and then all of a sudden they kind of hit a stone wall. the germans

as i have gotten older, i have rediscovered franklin roosevelt for myself. st year, i read a book that has been out for a while called "no ordinary time" about franklin and eleanor roosevelt during the years in world war ii. it spent in my thinking. it is interesting, if you look at lincoln and roosevelt, both had plans for what they were going to do when the war was over. that is when both of them died. again right after and franklin roosevelt right before -- lincoln right after, and broken roosevelt right before. i am going to make a speech in washington on the 18th of this month about a 21st century economic rights. we need to take up what some of these people left behind. host: the westward father? guest: he was a well-known immigration lawyer. my brother is also an immigration lawyer. i father went to vietnam in 1965 because he said he wanted us to see. i came home from seventh grade. my social studies teacher said that if we did not fight on the shores of hawaii, this was during the vietnam war, and by teacher told us if we did not fight on the shores o

so elite is just brought up franklin roosevelt. so david, why don't we you have a lovely line that she saw her marriage to franklin as an opportunity to quote spanish forever the bad story of her parents by putting virtue and virtuous husband in her own from now on wrote eleanor a certain kind of orthodox. goodness was my ideal and ambitions to talk about her meeting franklin roosevelt and their marriage and that marriage was like well franklin was her fifth cousin and they met on a train one summer day on a train going up river heat a hyde park and she to her grandmother's house at tivoli. where as alita has already referenced. there were blocks on the inside of her door to protect her from her uncles who had once been, you know, charming young men around town tennis champions and so forth now predatory alcoholics who were dangerous and scary and eleanor's life in her grandmother's house both at tivoli but in town as well where she lived during her coming out period and just after the at the time she met franklin was chaos. it was

franklin roosevelt had him as an exceptional law student and by all accounts was doing grand things. he said no i'm doing very well here in texas. they said fine, send him up. he worked his way up perhaps in the academic ability he made up for it in work ethic and became the attorney general and very successful being an aggressive attorney general because he recognized he wasn't the best brain in the building to say what can we do to advance the administration's agenda. now we expect that. but part of that it's this incredible credential carrying his agenda. there's these great incredible legal minds effected at the time in which they were there and carrying out the president's agenda and i would say that began in earnest. >> and we will later come back to him because he becomes one of those supreme court appointees. but is he making that? >> we have no indication that he is. >> so you get some traction immediately. the moment is vincent this is the guy that probably made him anoi appointee. it's ironic how little known he is today because at the time of hiss nomination he was one of

often though the prosperians argued that they supported isolationism because they believe that franklin roosevelt would use the war to seize dictatorial control and become an american caesar. they believe that roosevelt wanted to aid hitler's enemies not because he feared for us security not because he sympathized with a victims of fascist aggression, but because he believed that a war would give him the opportunity to seize total control of the government and democracy cancel elections and start his own dynasty. so let me give you a couple of examples mccormick for instance argued even before the war began in europe. the roosevelt was engaged in a conspiracy to drag the country into war he gave an independence day speech in 1939 and what she used the words conspirators or conspirator conspiracy four times in one sentence. to explain roosevelt's goal, which he said was to quote scrap the constitution and supplant it with the terrorism and communism of russia. now after the war began in europe the hearst patterson mccormick, press argued against aiding the british. and even argue that roosevelt ag

older, i've rediscovered franklin roosevelt for myself. last year i read a book that's been out for a while by doris kearns goodwin called no ordinary time about franklin and eleanor roosevelt during the depression years and world war ii and its so much for me and thinking.y it's interesting if you look at lincoln and look at roosevelt, both of them had plans what they were going to do when the war was over. lincoln died and roosevelt right before and roosevelt was planning a second economic bill of rights. i'm going to be making a speech in washington at the national press club on the 18th of this month about a 21st century economic bill of rights. we need to take up where some of these people left off. >> he was a well-known immigration lawyer, my brother is an immigration lawyer. my father took us to vietnam in 1965 because he said he wanted us to see. he said i came home from the seventh grade and my teacher, my social studies teacher said if we didn't fight on the shores of hawaii, this is during the vietnam war, my teacher told us if

to 1945, franklin roosevelt came from an extraordinarily wealthy family, a very high, a lead socialite family, dating back to the 1600s, the roosevelt family, the delano family or old money that had built their fortunes in merchant ship building other trades. roosevelt was a pragmatist, and when it suited to american interests, was prepared to co operate with the soviet union. it was under his rule, the usaa via diplomatic relations were established in 1933. franklin delano roosevelt is recognized by many in the american historical and academic and political rigs is one of the greatest for term presidents in history. the only president, whoever, sir, 4 terms, in fact, for his work in recess attaining 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 went on. they had different personalities from family, different backgrounds, to opposing views, each defended their own peoples and ruling clauses, interests that best died in the day that the men tried christa think stop as

the three princes -- presidents that interested me the most were one, franklin roosevelt because it was roosevelt who made the modern fbi. the new -- the fbi turned out to be a new deal alphabet agency. he pushed law enforcement in a big way and pushed hoover into political intelligence during the war. that was fascinating for me. then the last two presidents lyndon johnson and richard nixon were also fascinating because they had very long-term relationships with them. he lived on the same block as lyndon johnson from the 40's onward and had decades of relationships with nixon. then when they were in office they both cooperated and were at odds with one another in interesting ways. >> our guest is yale history professor beverly gage author of "g-man: j edgar hoover and d making of the american century." if you live in the central time zone 202-748-8201. mountain and pacific time zones. you can send professor gage a text message 202-748-8903. if you send a text please include your first name and your city. how many of those presidents wanted to fire hoover but he wasn't too politically p

roosevelt democrat. i was raised a democrat and raised -- then that all my life -- i have been that all my life. i believe in the policies raised by franklin delano roosevelt. right now, we had a $50 trillion transfer of wealth into the hands of 1% of americans over the last 48 years and what they have done is create a situation where posse after party, people who have wealth have a easier time building more and others have a hard time making it at all. a person's -- having a chance to. i believe in the traditional value system of the democratic party. host: who or what shape your democracy --philosophy? guest: my father. any time there was election, i said to my father -- i grew up in a home where franklin roosevelt was a great hero. it is interesting because as i have gotten older, i have rediscovered franklin roosevelt for myself. i read a book that has been out a while, " no orlene time -- nor --" no ordinary time". they spend in my thinking. if you look at lincoln, and roosevelt, both of them had plans on what they would do when the war is over. that -- they both died. roosevelt was planning a second economic book of -- bill of rights

famous liberal scholar, alan wolfe said that reagan seem to be engaged in a direct dialogue with franklin roosevelt roosevelt argued for more government, reagan argued for less. eight years later when barack obama p was elected president, peter baker, writing in the new york times said that president obama seemed to be in a direct dialogue with ronald reagan. obama was arguing for more government and responding to reagan's famous comment that in this present crisis, government is the problem, government is not the solution. so you can draw a line between fdr in 1933. arguing for more government. the new deal as the solution to ronald reagan in 1981 and then to barack obama in 2000 date responding to that. it is because of the importance of the ideas enunciated in this speech that there are two different books about the reagan administration at reagan's time. one by a very conservative scholar and one by a very liberal scholar that has the age of' reagan and their title. simply no question that beginning in 1980, there is an argument that reagan had begun to get these ideas across as a nation before

american history tv well, it was at his 1933 inaugural in that elected president franklin roosevelt declared that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. and the longest serving president us history is the this week on our special series speeches that defined the presidency we will see that first and inaugural address its entirety and that's the great depression that gave way to world war he delivers 30 plus fireside chats and declares december 7th, 1941, as a day infamy. now fdr doesn't live long enough to see the war's end dying just a few months before, so will conclude this of speeches that defined a presidency with harry truman's of the dropping of the atomic bomb on hiroshima, japan, in august of 1945. this c-span american history tv series speeches that defined a presidency. and here it is the beginning of a greatest drama in american affairs, the creation of a new chief executive. according to time honored custom the retiring president and the president like ride together from the white house with congressional escort down long and proud packed pennsylvania avenue, the capitol

he is not his fifth cousin franklin roosevelt in the new deal world war two. that'll come in a few weeks. this is the first and the greater maybe roosevelt so we'll talk about him. a little bit of background here on where and when was he born his bringing up ears? the roosevelt's born october of 1858 in new york city he's a kind of symbolically. anyway, the kind of hardened center of american life born to a very wealthy family. we'll talk about that in a little bit. he is very much a child of the civil war who was only you know, five years old kind of when a lot of this was happening, but it impacted him greatly. i'll come back to the slide in a second. here are two photographs. this is a photograph of president lincoln's funeral procession in the spring of 1865 after he had been assassinated. his body came back from washington dc to springfield, illinois where he was going to be buried and as part of that procession for americans to pay their last respects to him came down broadway in new york city. and here's the photograph of the procession and you can see r

franklin roosevelt said the most important job in presidency is not administrative but more leadershippeople are ready for our conversation our heart. that's where the country is for. governed by system that puts short-term profits for the health and safety and well-being of our people andof our diamonds unsustainable, morally wrong, spiritually wrong, politically wrong we must change this. >> colorado, grand junction colorado republican. >> good morning. i am a republican but that doesn't mean i wouldn't vote for your campaign but i'd like to ask you a constitutional question, he mentioned the parties were not mentioned in the constitution and when ben franklin was around, he was asked about the republican and responded by saying the public is one as we can keep it. i would like to movie we look at article four, section four in the constitution and that says the united states shall guarantee every a state a republican form of government. for me, a republican form is representative on the government i do wish you good luck on the campaign. >> thank you very, very much. i agree with the

like this in russia, then it is possible that next spring the second front will not be needed franklin roosevelt maybe that is why the president of the united states of america and prime minister of great britain churchill went to tehran to meet with the chairman of the council of people's commissars ussr with the safe arrival in tehran, comrade stalin warned the americans, warned, comrade stalin how you flew mr. president very well, except for the wild turbulence over baghdad mr. president marshal stalin invites you to settle in the russian mission. i have already turned down churchill's invitation, i think that this is inconvenient for russian intelligence. there is information about nazi agents operating in tehran. well, marshal stalin fears that when moving from one mission to another , unpleasant incidents may occur, if it's about safety. 10 in favor of uncle joe i've time i've been wanting to meet you for a long time. this is my fault. anyway we met, i wouldn't be your guest. if such a threat existed, i would not hide from it in the russian mission. it seems to me that there are more serio

possible to preserve the value of the dollar, preventing its free exchange for gold, president franklin rooseveltationalized the precious metal. having issued a law on the gold reserve, according to which all gold coins, bullion and certificates must be turned over to the federal reserve by the time the banks have turned over all the gold reserves. the fed they could no longer redeem dollars for gold. so the us paved the way for a further hypocritical plan, the state denied the bondholders. the right to redeem them in gold, investors were offered to be content with redemption in the form of simply printed pieces of paper, despite the fact that this obviously contradicted the prescribed terms of the bonded loan. supreme court. supported the rightness of the state thanks to this america and was able to turn the dollar into a world currency as a result of the bretton woods system, which was created in 1944. that is , the dollar was pegged to gold, while other countries pegged their currencies to the dollar. this gave the us an edge in the global economy and allowed it to control the world's finances

and i have to deal with the consequences so there was this change in american attitude and franklin roosevelt ran on the platform and was elected in 1936. theme idea that government shoud help folks out when they need help. the centerpiece was 1935 and that set in motion the idea that government should get more involved and help solve the problems american society faces. this was characterized by american liberalism. youse were a liberal in those ds if you looked to government to help solve society's problems. you were a conservative and leave the fixing to the private sector. vethe liberal side was winning e argument and people started expectingy the government did. before social security was created in 1930s, nobody expected it but once people started getting social security paychecks, then there was no way you could take it away until the 1960s. nobody expected the government to be in the healthcare business butw along comes medicare and w you couldn't take medicare away. george w. bush tried and it didn't go anywhere. so, there was a tendency for i'm very aware but in the 1970s to think t

franklin roosevelt who said it immediately after the end of the war of the president of america and he everyone that during the war the russian people showed this. the power of love for the motherland of self-sacrifice that the world has not yet known the russian people saved humanity from the nazi threat and helped them not by the superiority of their weapons, but by the superiority of their spirit, and we should all remember this. here is a quote from roosevelt that you see was forgotten very quickly, but, apparently, we must remind. what kind of patriotism should be today such a furious screaming or such a deeper quiet and how in the period of the most severe information war to instill it. it is very difficult to give any recommendations for feelings, love for the motherland is a feeling, patriotism is a feeling of patriotism. this is also a feeling. the main thing is sincerity , a person feels himself and understands everything, if you sincerely love your homeland which begins. first encounter with nettles what creates our feelings, not emotions. congratulations on this great commo
