what i discovered, i think it's interesting clementine churchill didn't much for franklin roosevelt roosevelt eleanor roosevelt did not much care for winston churchill and that dynamic plays out in the course of the visit and in the book the white house as stage four winston churchill as your book. so carefully documents and illuminates churchill struggled at times to get back to the white house by 1943, especially 1944, roosevelt running for reelection, has lot on his mind. talk about the evolution of churchill's with roosevelt and how affected whether or not came to the white house. great question. and my reading of it is that early on this visit of. 1941 into 1942, then there was a very important visit in june of 1942. we can into that, if you'd like and then there were two visits that went beyond a couple weeks in 1943 in may of 1943. and that included second address to a joint session of congress. big deal. and then in in august sept remember of 43 it was a matter of this kind of interesting i'm going to play this one out for a little bit i argue in the book that among winston churchill'

well, you know, harry truman became president in the death of franklin roosevelt and president roosevelt had his hands full. there was a great depression. there was world war two. and during the truman presidency, we were evolving out of those things. eventually. and so some of the deferred maintenance came on to harry truman's desk. and what did harry truman have said on the front of his desk about stop box stops here? well, suzanne, it was said that if you were in the east room of the white house and these bohemian glass chandeliers which were installed by teddy roosevelt, if you were walking on the upstairs residence floor, those chandeliers were said to sway at one night. margaret truman, president and mrs. truman's daughter, was playing her piano up on the residence floor, and the leg of that piano went through the floor into the ceiling below. so president truman knew that it was his responsibility to care for this wonderful house into the future. the timbers were still wooden. it was still the infrastructure from the house had been rebuilt after the british fire. so the truman's m

my formulation is five freedoms, borrowing off of franklin roosevelt's war freedom, and these are the five for children, the freedom to be healthy, the freedom to learn, the freedom to be economically secure, the freedom from hunger, and the freedom to be safe from harm. if every child in america enjoys those five freedoms or four of the five or most of the five, we're going to be doing the right thing for our kids, but we're also going to be strengthening our gross domestic product. we're going to be strengthening the skill level of our workers, and we're going to be more secure in both economically competitive world and a very dangerous world in terms of our national security. so if we can have some formulation like fight crime, invest in kids, we would be much better off as a nation. >>> senator, what's next for you? >> i don't yet know but i hope i have a chance to continue to contribute to my community in scranton and the larger community across pennsylvania. i hope i can continue to fight on behalf of children and seniors and people with disabilities and our workers. but i'll ha

others violate every principle of american liberty such as franklin roosevelt's 1942 eo that order the internment of japanese americans during world war ii. most eo's affect the lives of americans. they can interpret or expand the scope of legislation beyond text or intent and be formidable instruments of power, ordering executive agencies to issue mandatory rules. eo's exercise executive power that has grown beyond the vision of the founders with little check. only 14 have been struck down by the courts. eo's do not need to pass congress. they don't have to go through the administrative procedures act. none have been revoked in the 21st century. eo's do not need to reference a specific legal authority. president obama issued 19 in '11 that claimed they were justified "by the authority vested in me as president, by the constitution and the laws of the united states of america." pretty general. plaintiffs who challenge eo's in court have the burden of proving the order exceeds the authority of the president and courts will only strike one down if it clearly conflicts with a statute or t
