mr. roosevelt. i'm irish catholic. i was born in pot stem in upstate new york. my grandparents came over on what has been known cause a copper ship during the irish potato famine. 70 people died along on these ships. my grandparents got here safely. they were quite young and were married as teenagers. they had a baby, daniel. my grandfather, daniel was working on a church building in pot stem and something fell on his head and killed him. my poor great-grandmother never remarried and that's why my father was that unusual creature and only child in an irish catholic family. [laughter] >> but, i'm the youngest of four children, born in pot stem-- i gave away my age. 1896. 80 well-- anyhow we moved to somerville which is it a city within the city of boston and that's where i grew up. i went to public schools there in my education was going along well until i was diagnosed with rheumatic fever when i was a young teenager and spent about two years in bed recovering, so i didn't finish high school until 1

mr. roosevelt's great desire to cause crotche -- hee s roosevelt they went down to warm springs and i must say that it was a bit of a shock for us because we have not spent time in the rural south before. welcome to mr. roosevelt got right into the pool and he loved that he said he could feel his toes move for the first time in three years. and soon he could walk about in water up to his chest. after witnessing the execution she didn't enjoy her dinner very much. and then the next morning she said to me he wants steak for dinner tonight. whatever shall i do? okay, i made that part up. but you know what president roosevelt says never let the truth get in the way of a good story. they went back and had the five children to look after her and she's a very busy leedy even then with all of her calls of interest. word got out that such a famous man, such a famous polio survivor was going to swim to health and others were coming. they bought the place and turned it into a very fine rehabilitation facility which it is today still and in 1928 he was convinced to run for governor of new york and he

s parents were james and sarah delano roosevelt. and mr. james roosevelt had a wife before sarah. her name was rebecca howland. she passed away in 1876. four years later, in 1880, mr. james married sarah delano. mr. james roosevelt when he married sarah was 52 years old. she was only 26. she was half his age. james and sarah only had the one child, franklin delano roosevelt. >> when mr. james roosevelt, f.d.r.'s father, bought this property in 1867, it was a 17-room farm house. it was about 110 acres of land, several out buildings, for which he paid the huge sum of $40,000, which today is the price of an expensive car but back in those days it was a nice amount of money. the house, however, was enlarged by f.d.r. in 1915, because by then he had a growing family and he had decided as early as 1907, 25 years before he achieved it, that he was going to become president of the united states one day. and so he wanted a grander home for a future president. once f.d.r. became active in politics, quite often events would be held here like when he announced his intention to run for vice pre

mr. roosevelt was sorry. but he was being sketched by the artist he would never sit for her but she had to catch him but then just as he went in and he said what a terrific headache then slumped over in his chair and never ate the souffle but it didn't fall until the moment he died which was two hours later. is to not fall over two hours he had is repro have niche negative 1:12 p.m.. it was supposed to combat 1:15 p.m.. souffle making is a strong concern of the white house cut. jfk was chronically late. and then even hoping jfk would arrive on time. that is the peril to make a souffle. but daisy bonner was very moved by his death if you ever go to georgia and the kitchen area she wrote on the wall dc bonner cut to a first and last meal for the of president it was encased in plastic. she wanted to be known as the first lady of presidential cooking she wanted to open a museum but died before she could put that together. i also want touche to talk to about drinks but fdr embraced the drinking culture i talk abou

mrs. roosevelt told her friend she was relieved and happy to hear she's also that she had always loved her father and would love to see him again. one person was elliott roosevelt of 67 years after his death, his daughter at the conclusion of her own remarkable life would be preoccupied with meeting him in the hereafter. what made his memory so compelling most historians of the roosevelt family have taken a view of the situation similar to that of alice longworth. poor eleanor, theodore results daughter remembered, she took everything to most o, most of a, so tremendously seriously. if only she had about a little levity into her life, she had a miserable childhood which i don't think she ever quite got over and there was her exquisite empty headed mother who was one of the most beautiful women of her time. she made her feel unwanted and unattractive. then there was her father who was the black sheep of the family. someone should write something and there was this attractive young man who ruined himself a drink. once he started hitting the bottle, the slide downhill was spectacular. my fath

when he realizes who goes by, he roosevelt. mr. he's arguably the biggest man the world -- the busiest man the world, and yet he has time to read these oaks and make -- read these books and make notes on a reference that h -- a reference to a trip he made. a number of the levels were family bibles. a lot of them were in dutch. he collected books, and bibles were one of the areas that he collected it. for her 500 books about religion, about every kind of religion. a lot of them about christianity, but many about others as well. he had this whole collection of bibles. bibles on display here is a dutch bible from 1650, the family bible. it was used all four times during his inaugurations. , and itvery large book reflects his belief that family is important. he was not a traditionally devout christian, yet he used references in the bible in his speeches all the time. used them as a way of making a point. bible was very effective in providing advice on how people should act. how do you convince people to do the right thing? he thought t

mr. roosevelt. but half of them were. and roosevelt was a good politician. with half of the businesses in his pockeet,e knew he could count on the c.i.o.o., the socialists, and the communists to kind of work something out, and here was the deal. "i'm gonna get the money from tthe coorporations and d the rich. i'm gonna help u on a scale you've never seen before. and in return, you're gonna stop talking about getting rid of capitalismsm. you're gonna mute that part of your message. you're gonna celebrate me as the guy who gives the mass of people something they never got b before." so, what did roosevelt do? three interesting things that i'll mention. one--he created the social security system. we never had that before. in the midst of a depression worse than today, when there's no money in the hands of the government--none is comingng in; it's really hard; e can't do anything--the president goes on the radio and announces that every american over 65 years of age who's had a lifetime of worork is now g ga get money fromom the govovernmet for the rest of h his

roosevelt i pledge : myself to a new deal for the american people. mr. eberhardt: that expression, the new deal, becomes obvious a very highly associated with his entire presidency, but it is premiered at this moment when he delivers his acceptance speech. roosevelt was elected in a landslide in 1932. in those days, after the election, there was a long period between when the election took place and when the president actually took the oath of office. on march 4, 1933, fdr takes the oath of office as president of the united states, and he takes the oath on this enormous and historic family bible. this is a dutch family bible that had been in his family for generations. it came over with the roosevelts in the 17th century when the family came over to america. this is a unique bible in many regards. most importantly it is the only , bible where it has been used fourpresident for different inaugurals, because fdr was elected to four terms. it is unique. there was a constitutional amendment that limits presidents to two terms. it is a dutch bible in dutch and

mr. roosevelt said, a new deal. oftentimes it's the vagaries of government ineave a position where we have to do things. stout, i was miss aligned with a lot of your comments because i do think we have to provide greater opportunities for people to save . in doing so, i do support a number of issues. i think the way that we have to look at this is where can we assist in how people say. we do have a prime example of that. i ran an insurance agency. i know what it's like to meet a payroll. investment andt there were always the legs on the stool. one of those legs with social security. at the same time we are enhancing benefits and the opportunity to save. shouldn't we talk about mr.thing that archer was talking about in terms of enhancing and benefiting a system that has not missed a payment? thereen is the last time was actually an increase in the social security program. ? it was indexed back in 1983 and is not been able to keep pace. it's an insurance program, not an entitlement. have any of your premiums gone up s

mr. roosevelt said, you may need a new deal.society is left in a government where we have to do things. i was specifically aligned by a lot of your comments because i think we have to provide greater opportunities for people to save. and in doing so, i do support a number of the issues. and mr. tiberi talked about it. i think the way we have to look at this is where can we assist and help people save? we do have a prime example of that. i ran an insurance agency. i know what it's like to meet a payroll. i was trained at a school where we learned about investment. we always said there was three lesio legs on a stool. and one of them was social security. we're talking the about the benefits and opportunities to save, shouldn't we be talking about something that hadn't been touched since mr. archer was chairman? allowing people to benefit from a system that has never missed v payment, but when listed among the irs' dirty  dozen of tax scams. i have been supportive of the program where those who make less than 54,00

president roosevelt: mr. speaker, members of the congress, i have taken the i hope you will pardon me for the unusual posture of sitting down during the presentation of what i want to say. i know you will realize it makes it a lot easier for me not having to carry about 10 pounds of steel around the bottom of my fact i justo the completed a 14,000-mile trip. herman eberhardt: this was an extraordinary moment at the end of his life and presidency. it was the one and only time in his presidency that he acknowledges his disability. histly after delivering speech to the joint session of lta all the conference -- ya conference, he travels down to warm springs, georgia where he had kept a retreat for many years. it was the site of the rehabilitation center he had set up in the 1920's for the treatment of polio patients. he was down there in warm springs on april 12, 1945, when he was stricken by a massive cerebral hemorrhage and died that afternoon. this was a profound shock to the country. people in his inner circ

mr. roosevelt said, a new deal. and oftentimes, as the havingva of society that leave government in a position where we have to do things. missed out specifically aligned with a lot of your comments, because i do think we have to provide greater opportunities for people to save. and in doing so, i do support a number of the issues and mr. teaberry talked about pastors and et cetera. i think the way we have to look at this is where can we assist and help people save. we do have a prime example of that. i ran an insurance agency, i know what it's liked to meet a payroll. i was trained at an insurance school. where we learned about investment. where we always said there was three legs of the stool. one of those legs was social security. so at the same time we're talking about enhancing benefits and the opportunity to save, shouldn't we be talking about something that hasn't been touched since mr. archer was the chairman? in terms of enhancing the opportunity for people to benefit from a system that has never missed a p

mr. scaramucci: long ago, teddy roosevelt said that the presidency is a bully pulpit, and the president has a great gift in being able to control the new cycle and the messaging. if we get super coordinated around here with the president and we go back to what he did, some of the great successes he had on the campaign and the transition, and even in the presidency, frankly, it is delivering that message to the american people. i think the policies are fantastic. i think yes on a phenomenal job. i think sam or something that i totally leave, -- sam or read something that he is doing a phenomenal job and when you to get it out there more aggressively and we will do that. i will take one more. reporter: thank you very much. you talked several times about your relationship with reince preibus. and you talk about your relationship with steve bannon? yes had -- he is said to have had strong objections to you taking this job as well. mr. scaramucci: i am on the record, i've been interviewed about steve. i think he is one of the smartest people i know. he was instrumental in helping us win the elec

mr. assistant president during roosevelt's third term. he knew about the atomic bomb. he was at the altar and took short hand. he was skilled at short hand, he had the very best notes of anyo anyone. and truman reaches out to burns and taps him as his secretary of state. he doesn't officially become secretary of state until july 1st, but he's at truman's side constant constantly. he's the one who whispered in truman's ear, that the soviet's were breaking their agreements at yalta. burns has a very, very different view than simpson, the opposite in fact. simpson's assistant john mccloy reported that after a conversation with burns, this is a memo that mccloy writes to simpson. he was quite radically opposed to any approach about cooperating on the international control of atomic energy. he wished, mccloy wrote to have the implied threat of the bomb in his pocket during conferences after the war. the actual quotas, during the conference he was to attend in london, beginning on september 4th. and so that's after the war, during the war, burns is press secretary writes in

mr. scaramucci: not long ago teddy roosevelt said the , presidency was a bully pulpit. and the president has a great gift to be able to control the news cycle and messaging, so if around hereinated with the president and go back to some of the great successes he had on the campaign and transition and even in the presidency, frankly he is , delivering that message directly to the american people. to me, i think the policies are fantastic. i think he has done a phenomenal job. i think sarah read something i totally believe, is that he is doing a phenomenal job and we need to do that and get that out there more aggressively. i have to go. >> one more, right there. mr. scaramucci: i will take one more. >> thank you very much. you have talked several times about your relationship with reince priebus, his picks with some of the communications staff. can you talk about your relationship with steve bannon? he is said to have strong objections about you taking this job as well. and i have one other thing. mr. scaramucci: i am on the record i have been interviewed , about steve,

roosevelt." however, the emotional prime minister was a complex mr. -- mixture of actor and warrior. churchill's true feelings tended to show through. he rarely bother to hide them. , even not hold back tears sobbing in public. fdr was much more circumspect, more tightly wound. churchill would not rest while prosecuting the war. didcould he relax as fdr with his stamp collection and his naval encyclopedias. the prime minister was all in for war, all the time. , militarystings aides, liaisons would joke about the prime minister. great militarye genius of history, he can use one division on three fronts at the same time. strategy churchill almost always consulted his war cabinet. war, fdr paid little attention to his cap. toward the state department bordering on contact. for example the secretary of when was not in washington the president would soon department the summit conference with the prime minister in 1941. roosevelt invited the number two man at state. like fdr, he was a harvard educated member of the eastern establishment. fdr himself was far more comfortable with the number

roosevelt. an analysis of the bills mr.hows that half were minor and inconsequential were little substantive debate. >> it keeps us busy having these kinds of conversations, the things big on the agenda and people are worried about are health care, ininfrastructure and tax reform. on those fronts we have seen possibly backward movement if anything. >> president trump knows very well how to speak to his base. when you read the strong words from the wall street journal owned by rupert murdoch to president trump on none other than the russian scandal. release it all to the public whatever short term political damage this might cause couldn't be worse than the death by 1,000 cuts of selective leaks often out of context from political opponents in congress or the special counsel's office. if there's nothing to the russia collusion allegations, transparency will call it. calling for radical transparency is a big ask. saying if you want to suive, open the kimono. >> it is being ped open one way or the other. joining us now is cnbc

roosevelt. brian: in those days, you cannot put a camera in front of you. that's not your brother. mr. buchanan: no, that's not my brother. there's a picture in the book. he was right there. i could hear him laughing at times. brian: did you ever think in this process that you would go to prison? mr. buchanan: no, i had never hired a lawyer. i was called over by the special prosecutor. it was a vindictive, hostile crowd. they tried to get you involved in the dirty tricks operation. to be honest, sam did not understand politics. there were some phrases he was reading to me. one of them was ed muskie. i said, it's time to go down to the kennels and let the dogs loose. he says, can you explain this to me? i said, gary hart said if the nixon people underestimate us we will do what we did to humphrey, we will kill them. i don't think he had physical violence in mind, but the exaggerated metaphor is a staple of american politics. but it came out very well. was five and a half hours, when buchanan got back to the elp, it was like the field after lindbergh landed. it was a great day in a way b

interesting thing happens when the roosevelts come to the white house is in a way they end a segregated practice. back in the time of president taft he hired a woman named mrswas a segregationist. even though there was a multiracial cooking staff she created segregating eating spaces. before, all the servants a together but she had a separate table for whites and a separate table for blacks. by the time a little roosevelt gets the white house she rectifies the situation by firing all the white people. i will let you decide if that is progress or not but no longer segregation because you have one race working in the kitchen. overall we see we have these cooks who are culinary artists and many times family confidants, presidents go to their funeral, their wedding, send notes and gifts when significant family events happen, presidents terribly moves when they have to leave at the change of administration, there is always a tradition where the staff lined up and the president goes down the line and thanks them for their service. we see there are often civil rights advocates pressing for african-americans to have their humanity accepted in broader society. we sa

. >> reporter: hey, good morning, wisdom we're at teddy roosevelt high school here in the pet worth section and we're joined by mr with you. >> thank you. thank in you tell us about this program. it's for high schoolgirls to study abroad and train in soccer and also you're going to go to be stuff with middle school students as well if right. this is basically what's important in our case we are not talking about if the ball. we are not talking about matches. we talk basically about social issues. we are talking basi basically st can bring val yous to our society. and this is part of the game i mean. so what we want to stop social he can clueings. we want to stop violence. we want very very strong tools. >> reporter: help character building, is that right? >> and mayor bowser here is w worked with girls of color to try to give them opportunities. so some high schoolgirls will be able to go over and study abroad in bars cona, spain, and train with football and work on their character building and then here the middle school students as well. is this something new for your football club, a very res stitches football

mr. chairman. history teaches us what congress does the things, labor law reform and social security with franklin rooseveltree years later goes back and makes modest changes to fix them. something we have been asking for several years, asking republicans to do the formal care act. they have -- the affordable care act. the same with dodd-frank. we have seen a house financial services committee that wants wholesale destruction. we will work with bipartisanly by making changes to do what chair yellen has spoken about in making those reforms. i wanted to preface with that. you recently stated you do not expect another financial crisis in our lifetimes, setting aside the delicate question of your and my in all our life expectancies. is that predicated on maintaining this ring for the current regulatory structure? chair yellen: let me state what i think i should have stated originally when i made that comment. i believe we have done a great deal since the financial crisis to strengthen the financial system and and make it more resilient. i think we can never be confident there won't be another financial crisis,

mr. president. i'm representative claudia tenney from upstate new york, fellow new yorker. we are so grateful for your leadership and that you're the president and our first republican president since teddy roosevelti want to tell you i had the great fortune of touring cheryl manufacturing last year, a factory taken over by these two phenomenal entrepreneurs. and at your inaugural speech i listened and i wrote down something really important that you said. you said americans know a different reality as they see rusted out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape. i typed it in on my cell phone because we couldn't have any papers out there. i thought this is exactly what we have as cheryl manufacturing. these two gentlemen, only flatware manufacturer in the nation. we are, they have been approved for contracting. i want to say that i have a bill that i put in we would love to have your support on. it is called the spoons act. took a little work to come up with that. it is support procurement of our nation's stainless steel act. >> good. >> we love to have your support to have the manufacturing thrive. we love to have you visit cheryl. it was parking lot with over 2400 cars witness o

roosevelt said speak softly and carry a big stick. and i yield back. that's just the way it is. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. engel: i yield three minutes to the gentleman from michigan, mr. kildee who has worked tirelessly to free his constituent from the iranian regime. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for three minutes. mr. kildee: i rise in support of house resolution 317 calling for the unconditional release of united states citizens held by iran. unfortunately, i'm all too familiar with this issue. my constituent and now my good friend, a marine veteran was held by the iranian regime in evan prison for 4 1/2 brutal years. thankfully after a long struggle with the help of many voices across the country and across the world, includeing my friend, the ranking member and the chairman of this committee, who both used their good offices to advance the interests, ultimately he was freed on came home. 2016 he but it's long past time for iran to release those americans that hey are holding. particularly, mr. levin son whose family i came to know during the period of time that i sought freedo
