said i admire him but why franklin roosevelt? when he has inherited a more -- an economy in more disarray than roosevelt. and i said why abraham lincoln? he said that country has never been in such a divide since the civil war. look a lot has changed. we came to office in a climate crisis and one existential threat faced donations. mayor bloomberg michael you convene leadership national and international leading the charge in changing mindsets. i met with the president uae. he wanted to talk about clean energy around the world. i just finished a two-day conferencece in delaware and ina australia and japan. they have the fastest growing economies in the world. they understand you can't be independent of fossil fuel. you need to lead toward the future but a discussion with the president of kenya who my hosted on his visit. together we have launched a clean energy industrial partnership. all of this matters. since i i than president i have flown over more wildfires if the truth from arizona to indiana and i've seen more acreage burn

i said why franklin roosevelt, i admire him, but why? knowing inherited an economy more disarrayed -- no one inherited an economy more disarrayed than franklin roosevelt. i look to the left, i said why abraham lincoln? he said the country has never been is divided since the civil war. anyway. a lot has changed. when i came to office, the claimant was in crisis. -- climate was in crisis. one existential threat that faces all nations. michael bloomberg you convened leadership at national and international levels to change the mindset. i just met with the president of the uae, who is a massive investor in clean imagery around the world, that is what he wanted to talk about. i just hosted a three-day conference in delaware with the prime minister of australia and japan and india, three of the fastest-growing economies in the world. they understand you can't remain dependent on fossil fuels. they need to lead the clean energy future. i had a discussion with the state president of kenya. kenya is also a leader in clean energy. together we have

i will engage in what franklin roosevelt called bold, persistent experimentation. >> bold, persistent darkest of the worst economic depression of american history, the governor of new york, franklin delano roosevelt, ran for president in 1932 and said the country needs and unless i mistake it's timber, the country demands bold, persistent experimentation. it is common sense to take a method and try it. if it fails, admit it frankly and try another, but above all, try something. try something. that was the spirit that led us out of the depression and bold, persistent experimentation became the fundamental difference at that point forward between the republican party and democratic party. in the simplest terms, the republican party, understandably was afraid of experimentation. afraid of unintended consequences and afraid of the possibility of things going wrong. those are legitimate things to fear. they thought the safer course was to simply be more conservative. being conservative in the face of risk is an understandable approach. we all do it in somethings or we should, like personal

filmmakers largely avoided and biographical film coverage both franklin and eleanor roosevelt until her death in 1960. dory sherry produced the notable exception sunrise campobello, a dramatization of franklin's struggle and comeback from polio with the loving support of his wife. air commented that the production was about as much like the roosevelt family as some people. mars although she cooperated so that children profited from the successful broadway play and resulting feature. what did eleanor think about her own on screen appearances. in reference to paster, she noted, i can't say that i myself on screen. she envied the performance of then daughter in law fay emerson, who was married to elliot and hosted the late night cbs talk show the famous in show. instead, air said of herself her early television days. needless to say, i'm never happy when i'm on television. in first place. i cannot remember that i'm being photographed every minute and i do stupid things like lick my lips when they get dry, which makes you look exactly as though were sticking your tongue out at someone. perh

so in franklin roosevelt, battle to save democracy. he used weapon at his disposal. newspapers, magazines radio. his charisma, the power of the presidency. but really his most potent weapon were words fdr words brought hope to a desperate world. they give those suffering, hunger and deprivation and the oppressed of tyrannical regimes. you look to his words and his vision for a better world, and it gave them hope. on september 1st, 1939, hitler invades poland and. will war one? world war two starts, fdr gets awoken at 2:50 a.m. in the morning by his assistant, disillusioned with the phone call from the ambassador in paris, telling him that germany's and the war has begun. few days later, he delivered a fireside chat in which he acknowledged that america would maintain its neutrality. but he told the millions of people listening to him that does not mean that you have to be neutral, does not mean you need to ignore your conscience. and he was signaling away from the beginning where his sympathies lay. ten days later, charles lindbergh delivered the first of many radio

franklin roosevelt proposed expanding the court in 1937. why, in your view, is that not the appropriate way to go if that is the case? >> whatever congress passes the bill expanding the number of district court of appeals judges there's always a political edge. will some administration have a windfall of all these judicial appointments? that's not the atmosphere we are going for. it's true that until just after the civil war we had the same number of justices as we had circuits. and you could, right now, say let's do that. we will have a circuit justice for each circuit. we will have 14 justices by the time you have the 12 numbered circuits, 11 numbered circuits, the d.c. circuit judge and the federal circuit, that would be 13. that feels much less political than the franklin roosevelt plan was. but, that is the most i could imagine doing without really running into a political buzz saw. >> michael, the concern, one of the chief concerns is doing something through statute could lead to retaliatory arbitrates. i think it's worth injecting in

senator, this was of prime interest for him and the new deal of franklin roosevelt and the great depression created a context where he could push forward some regressive legislation protecting the workers right to organize and so he seized it. .. at one point, at the beginning of the offering of the 5-dollar wage was quite popular for that sort of 1914. he was paying almost double what other employees were paying. but he had conditions about that wage. you had to allow social workers into thehe house. they wanted to know what you were reading them. they want to make sure you're not in their union but they went to make sure the system was compatible with workers having a collecting bar bargaining voice. so he resisted that strongly. it was not until the u.s. entered world war ii forward with getting more and more pressure from the government. the government did not want labor disputes during the war. basically bush industry and labo come to an agreement. to step back and allow the workers to organize union. cracks in the 1950s about one third of the workforce labor, union, membership. today

the depression helped to contribute to franklin roosevelt, winning a landslide over. alf landon in 1936. the country unified during world war two. the cold war led to a certain degree of unifying the country. now, often, this unity can lead some really bad things being done in the unity didn't deal with underlying issues like racial inequality, but there was a unity in the country. i think the last time our country was truly unified was after 11. i saw the opinion polls. george w bush is popular. it was over 90% off. often wonder if we hadn't waged the destructive war in iraq, what might have followed then? terms of the country being unified and even suggests that covid had the possibility of unifying country if there had been a different president, he said, this is the worst health crisis over century. we need to come together. we need to follow what science and medicine? us. might we have come together? then obviously wasn't what happened. so i think there are things that can unify the country. i don't know if uniform universal service would do that or not. other qu

[laughter] i didn't realize that when they built the lawn 33 they had a division. any money that president is sent from the congress to investment in america, should use american workers and use american products. the past administration, including my predecessor, failed to buy american. not anymore. kamala and i are making sure that it's so much more beyond that like aircraft carriers and tanks. they will be made with american products and create good paying american jobs. how can we

and opportunity, and i promise you i will be pragmatic in my approach, i will engage in what franklin roosevelt called "bold persistent experimentation" [applause] because i believe we shouldn't be constrained by ideology and instead should seek practical solutions to problems, realistic assessments of what is working and what is not, applying metrics to our analysis, applying facts to our analysis, and stay focused then not only on the crises at hand, but on our big goals, on what's best for america over the long term . and part of being pragmatic means taking good ideas from wherever they come. listen, you all know my career, andrea shared it with you. i am a devout public servant. i also know the limitations of government. i've always been and will always be, and be clear about this, i've always been and will always be a strong supporter of workers and unions.
