mrs. roosevelt came here to christ church with prime minister winston churchill, lord halifax, the british ambassador, and lady halifax, and others in their party to commemorate what roosevelt had called for, the national day of prayer. and they prayed for three things. they prayed for strength in the coming conflict. they prayed for a just peace. and above all, they prayed for forgiveness of our national sins so that we would be worthy of the victory they were asking god to grant us. and that combination of the willingness to commit military power in the name of freedom and also the humility to know that we can't prevail with military strength alone is really the trait of these two great leaders that i think has lessons for us today. churchill had crossed the atlantic for the second time. this was a very dangerous crossing. the atlantic was infested with u-boats that were taking a tremendous toll on allied shipping. he came here in the previous august, in 1941. he met roosevelt secretly off the coast of newfoundland. and even though america was not yet in the war at that time, they discus

president roosevelt: mr. speaker, members of the congress, i hope you pardon me in an unusual posture of sitting down during a presentation of what i want to say. i hope you realize it is a lot easier in not having to carry about 10 pounds of steel at the bottom of my legs and also because of the fact i just completed a 14,000-mile trip. [applause] >> this was an extraordinary moment at the end of his life, the end of his presidency, the one and only time during his presidency where he acknowledges his disability. shortly after delivering his speech to the joint session about the conference, fdr traveled down to warm springs, georgia, where he had kept a retreat for many years. it was the site of the rehabilitation center he set up in the 1920's for the treatment of polio patients like himself. 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 for the country. people within fdr's inner circle, his famil

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 ththe 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

mrs. roosevelt and i toured europe. and then i returned to the united states and saw that president taft had made a mess of everything. returning my and abraham lincoln's republican party back over to the special interests on wall street, so i famously told the press that i was stripped to the waist, healthy as a bull moose and that my hat was in the ring. the first time that phrase was used to declare a candidacy. out across the country i campaigned. i do hope that i received the votes of every lincoln republican that was. i was not successful. i only won six states. 27% of the electoral vote. the most successful third party candidacy in our history unless you count the republican party of 1860, which an argument can be made for that. i visited with the ripen society today. there they acknowledged the creation of the republican party in 1884 in wisconsin where the founders said they entered that schoolhouse as democrats and whigs and free soilers and came out as republicans. i still have hope for my republican party an

mrs. jacobs wrote to eleanor roosevelt about how she understood the role of foster mothers. "who are our fosters? not the idle rich. no, but the widows who with perhaps three or four children take one or two of these little ones so this lousy, beasley $24 a month would help her keep her own loved ones with her. or the woman of middle-aged was to live at home and you still less children and is lonesome after her loved ones have left. she takes one or two little ones and give them a mothers love and devotion. only mothers like these can do this." jacobs went on to describe the intense bond that can develop between foster mothers and foster children, but she goes on to emphasize, remember this, these women need this money in spite of everything. because of their experiences raising their own children, women like jacobs often felt fostering was the only form of paid work they were qualified to do. i read lots and lots of letters that say really similar things. they talk about the devotion to the children. this is the work i know, the work i love, but i can't do it for free. stud

now, president roosevelt used radio, john f. kennedy used television, for mr. trump, it's twitter. >>> in an interview with prince harry for the bbc, former president barack obama advised leaders about using social media. >> all of our in leadership have to find ways in which we can recreate a common space on the internet. one of the dangers of the internet is that people can have entirely different realities, they can be just cacooned in information that reinforces their current biases. >> though president trump has depended on twitter to communicate a lot of his positions, he's been criticized for retweeting anti-muslim pop grande and also -- propaganda and also for gold be nair, the -- north korea and the nuclear armed dictator with threats. >>> stop alabama from certifying democrat doug jones as winner of that u.s. senate race. moore filed a lawsuit last night ahead of today's meeting to officially declare doug jones the winner. jones defeated moore by about 20,000 votes in a special election earlier this month. moore's lawsuit is claiming there were irregu

senator at one point walked into the roosevelt room with an ipad and pulled up our website and said, "mrpresident, here's a private health insurance website that is working. why don't you just work with them?" and i'm told the president shrugged and looked at the staff. which i interpret to mean, "i don't care if there's a private website that works. i want my website to work." sharyl: he could have meant, as well, "why can't our website work if theirs does?" john desser: i think that is what he meant. sharyl: you have crunched numbers that explain a lot about why some people love obamacare and why some people hate it. what did you find? john desser: well, it's really a story of two families, in the sense it explains to me a lot of why there's such passion around this issue. because if you're fortunate enough to qualify for subsidies, you do get a lot of help and you're getting really good coverage. but if you're unf a "subsidy cliff" and literally that could mean earning an extra $200 per year, then you get no help. sharyl: this sounds rudimentary, but can you just say in general terms

mr. speaker, i yield back, keeping in mind the words of franklin delano roosevelt, thank you, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: under the speaker's announced policy of january 3, 2017, the gentleman from texas, mr. flores is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the majority eader. mr. flores: mr. speaker, i rise today to honor dr. haskell monroe jr. of brian-college station, texas who passed away on november 13, 2017. he was born in dallas, texas, on march 18, 1931. he was the only child of haskell monroe sr. and myrtle monroe. the family of three lived in garrland, texas, until haskell jr. was 10 when they moved to fort smith, arkansas, because of his father's job for the united states department of war. they lived there for two years before moving to orange, texas, where the family resided through haskell's high school years. during his high school years, haskell was an active member of the band, the track and field team, the football team, and he was a member they have boy scouts. his experience in schools in both garland and orange fostered a love of learning that lasted t

mr. hoover in our world war i exhibit for his contribution so we may be the house of the roosevelt, but we also like to respect history. here's my question. how did hoover and his fellow republicans so underestimate roosevelt in this election? he had been reelected governor by 700,000 votes. he had mastered the medium of radio, he gave great speeches and although people knew he was crippled, that did not deter the support for him. how did this happen that he and his associates did not recognize what a strong candidate he was? >> he not only thought he was the week candidate but he also wanted roosevelt to win because he thought he would be the least opposition. he wasn't alone without opinion. a lot of republicans believe that a lot of others believed it. he thought he was more or less a parity, talking out of both sides of his mouth, having no real convictions, and that was not an uncommon view. he was a lightweight. i went back and read all those campaign speeches. you can see why they had a low opinion of him. roosevelt was talking outside both sides of his mouth. he was making a lot of

mr. speaker, on this historic day in this chamber, where president roosevelt appeared the day after the pearl harbor attack, i rise to honor a world war ii veteran and pearl harbor survivor, mr. clarence barrows, who will turn 100 this weekend. born on december 10, 1917, mr. barows has served our country and state in many ways. as a member of the u.s. navy, mr. barows fought through and survived the attack on pearl harbor. he risked his life in the defense of freedom as a gunnar on the u.s.s. hyde, transport magazine are ins in the pacific theater -- transporting marines in the pacific theater. he went on to dedicate 30 years of his life to the union pacific railroad. i want to thank him for all he's contributed to our great nation and state. his sacrifice, bravery and grit are an example to us all and i look forward to congratulating mr. barows in person at celebrations in his honor this weekend in cheyenne. i'd like to say happy birthday to mr. barows and thank you for his service. and with that, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from florida seek re

mr. collins: so my dad was trained as a classical violinist but he and my mom, she was getting her master's degree at yale, he his ph.d. they went and worked for eleanor roosevelt in the depths of the depression in west virginia trying to help coal miners get back on their feet. my dad fell in love with the traditional music the coal miners would play particularly on the fiddle. we didn't have a television. what did you do after dinner at the farm? either my dad would read charles dickens out loud or we would get out instruments and play. if you wanted to be in this family you better learn to play something. david: so famous musicians would come to your house? mr. collins: people would drop by. perhaps the best known though not at the time was a particularly sullen 18-year-old who showed up sort of being brought along by a more senior, experienced folk song writer and singer, and the young 18-year-old turned out was having his birthday in our living room and he sang a few songs, had a terrible voice, had no social skills. i was quite sure he had no future at all. that of course turned out to be bob dylan. david: did you ever meet him again? mr. collins: i did.

we've got pictures of teddy roosevelt touring the hermitage staring in the distance. fdr went to the hermitage and they said, listen, mr president, we have a ramp. he said, i have to walk it. he wanted to feel the founder of the democratic party. he wanted to understand where he channeled that leadership in because he knew he was in for a heck of a fight, and he wasn't kidding. absolutely true. when ronald reagan -- when harry truman takes over, he had a figurine of jackson on his desk. trueman, i believe, was a captain in world war i, and everyone thought he wasn't worthy, he ended up being a near-great president. and i wanted to do one of my stand-ups for the special in front of the statue of jackson in front of the white house, and doug weed came down, very respected presidential historian with a great personality, and he's done a recent book on the bushes. and he said you know why we're standing here? yeah, i thought it'd be a good backdrop. no, this is where ronald reagan demanded to have his photo done for harper's or time magazine. he wanted it right in front of jackson's statue. so you may not like jackson, you

mr. secretary, for a speech that i think is worthy of many of the leaders you cited, woodrow wilson who served us as president 100 years ago, theodore roosevelt, franklin roosevelt, winston churchill and that is why we honor people like you in public and business awards over the years. so let me focus just a bit more on europe since that was your topic and going to europe next week. we were recently at nato visiting with our extremely able ambassador kay bailey hutchison and convened a lunch of eight foreign ambassadors to nato. and what came through is the view they have that this is a zero-sum game. as the united states focuses on problems around the world -- like urgent problems, like north korea and iran, it will pay less attention to europe. i thought that your speech made the point that this is not a zero-sum game, that if a strong europe stands with us, we are stronger together to face the tough problems around the world that are also developing blowback to europe, am i right. secretary tillerson: the united alles alone cannot confront of these problems. you can take anyone know of the threats i went through and you connectionoints of
