we're going to do new york. in each of these let me remind you of the new york angle. the first one george washington he is picking a new yorker john jay educated just right down the road here at columbia. auto what makes two words thomas jefferson president and in 1800. you could say this act or you could say new york, aaron bird. that's the swing state. jefferson are running against each other in 1796. jefferson comes in second. that's because he gets burr to help him win new york. new york is a swing state. it's looming very, very large. that was burr against hamilton. here on this island whoever won the island would win the state, whoever won the state, would win the presidency. setting up this confrontation. now, i admit that the third face-off doesn't have as much of a compelling new york angle. lincoln and tawny and neither of them is quite a new yorker, but lincoln does rise to prominence and manages to win a convention. not on the first ballot, of course. because he impresses people in this city. the great cooper union address is actually the key to lincoln's s

new york was the cradle of the new deal, the home of herbert's liberalism. so for them to announce that and based upon that victory was in the air was completely understandable. 1948 -- what we didn't know going into 1948, what 1948 confirmed was that america had, in fact, become a new deal country. the death of franklin roosevelt had ended one presidency. but the approach to government, the expectation that government would be more involved, for example, in ensuring prosperity, that government would be used to fight economic downturns as the new deal had in the '30s and the '40s. whether or not you believe -- and dewey, frankly, happened to have grave doubts about the success of those efforts. but nevertheless, the assumption was when fdr died, the new deal died with him. and the set of expectations, the relationship between the average american and his government, which had been transformed by the new deal, turns out that wasn't the case. on election day 1948, americans enjoyed record prosperity, record employment. the reason the republicans in spite of th

he campaigns around upstate new york. he turns out the new york city vote. he wins by a very slight margin. he gets in there. in 1920, the legislature crosses its arms and says we will not do any of these things. peter: the republican legislature? john evers: the republican assembly and senate. smith starts the campaign by saying, we will have a reconstruction commission capitalizing on the transition from a wartime economy to the private sector economy. he starts saying he is going to strengthen -- we are going to bond so we can have capital improvement spread out for many years instead of the infrastructure starts to crumble. he has a lot of these great ideas. the legislature says this guy will never win in 1920. that will be the presidential year. back then, new york governors ran at the same time the president ran. the coattails were long. smith gets reelected in 1920. he has very little to show -- he loses in 1920. he has very little to show what he goes up in 1920. they run a very conservative, upstate republican who wins. sure enough, al smith goes aw

so in each of these let me just remind you of the new york angle. the first one, george washington, he's picking a new yorker, john jay, educated just right down the road here at columbia to be his chief justice, so an obvious new york angle in that one. what makes in two words thomas jefferson president in 1800, you could say the sedition act or you could say new york. aaron burr. that's the swing state. adams and jefferson are running against each other and jefferson comes in second and then they do the rematch in 1800 and jefferson prevails and that's because he gets burr to help him win new york. new york is the swing state in that election so it's looming very, very large. it was burr against hamilton here on this island. whoever won the island would win the state, whoever won the state would win the presidency setting up this confrontation. now, i admit that the third face-off doesn't have as much of a compelling new york angle, lincoln and tawney and neither of them is quite a new yorker, but lincoln does rise to prominence and manages to win

john: he did well in new york. he always did well in new york city. he did extraordinarily well in his own district. but he just couldn't make it up over the whole state. the other question, what was the other? peter: well, did he win new york city? do you know off hand if he won in 1928? john: oh, i don't recall. i don't think he did. peter: not even in new york city? john: new york city also had outer boroughs that had republican dominance, which is still the case in staten island. but in but in pockets of queens as well. peter: social security? john: the issue on social security is something that smith had tried to implement in new york state when it came to widows and orphans' pensions. he tried to experiment with health insurance for industrial workers, and he also tried to do all kinds of social security issues when it came to trying to support those that were downtrodden, make-work projects were something that he had experimented with, and it might have been one of those programs he would have carried into the new deal had he won. johnprof. gag

, in clinton, new york. and at the age of 14, little charlie, getting taller now, went to colgate. and made superior grades. became restless and transferred to brown university where he was elected to phi beta kappa in his junior year and graduated third in his class. so you can see that his trajectory was slightly different from roosevelt. hughes was a prodigy. he had a photographic memory and as i said, he was a superior student, even before he went to school. and continued throughout his career. on the other hand, franklin roosevelt, to talk about the differences and the contrast, was quite an indifferent student at harvard. made okay grades, but nothing special. and his great interest was the harvard crimson, the newspaper at harvard. so he didn't spend too much time studying, we think. and then he, like hughes, went off and studied law at columbia law school in new york city. hughes of course was at the top of his class. made the highest grade ever recorded on the new york bar. and franklin actually flu

that was bill in pawling, new york. mike, stanton island, new york. >> caller: yes. i'd like to ask mr. smith, if mr. dewey had won the 1944 election, what would his policy as far as ending the war? >> 1944 did you say? >> caller: yeah. >> mike? okay. >> i think, well, you know, it's a fair question, but i think if you look at the calendar and you see where the armies were in january of 1945, i think at that point, obviously, the nazi defeat was only a question of time. the larger question, of course, of for example, yalta, how dewey might have conducted diplomacy differently if it had been him meeting churchill and stalin. >> and what about the atomic bomb? do you think dewey would have done that? >> you know, it's hard for me to believe that any president, after we'd spent $2 million to do this thing, knowing that if he didn't use the bomb, and if the war were prolonged, quite frankly, he'd be subject to impeachme impeachment. i mean, what was the point of -- you know, i mean, i think this retrospective argument over truman and whether it was moral to use the bomb

that's the story of his activism in new york city. and we have here in our case on allies the basic story of the bromance between theodore roosevelt and jacob riis. they first met in 1894 when a new administration was elected in new york city that was a reform administration under mayor william strong. and it's often described as the good government movement. and in that one brief administration, a lot of the social reforms that riis had been recommending as well as the other people in his network of reform were manifested including better sanitation. one of the things that strong was famous for was appointing a sanitary engineer who created the white wings, who were sanitary workers that wore pristine white uniforms and at one point paraded down fifth avenue as a kind of army of sanitation. but the issue that theodore roosevelt and riis worked on primarily was the closing of police lodging houses. and the way they met was that mayor strong appointed theodore roosevelt as police commissioner during his administration and the police hea

i think i'm going to win new york. i think i have a chance to win new york. imagine if you win new york. if we beat hillary clinton i think i will win new york. if i win new york, no republican will even campaign. i think i will win new york, i really do, i mean in the general election. if somebody ever won new york it totally -- with the electoral college it totally changes the map. i think we will win new york, i really do. >> you're not going to win new york. i'm not like saying like i don't think you're going -- you're not going to win new york. the latest statewide poll just out today in new york shows hillary clinton crushing donald trump in new york, i'm not being hyperbolic, she's crushing him, beating him by 30 points in new york. obama beat romney in 2012 by 28 points insane and unstoppable competent the fact clinton is pulling ahead of donald trump more than that. donald trump keeps saying i'm going to win new york. new york is a fantasy for any republican in a year and particularly a fantasy for donald trump. he's not going to win new york. a far

>> well, it made new york one of the most republican states in the country. i mean, from being one of the most democratic states, the state that gave us fdr, gave us al smith, gave us the new deal. dewey had -- we haven't mentioned herbert lehman, the man he almost defeated in 1938, the man who had appointed him the gang buster several years earlier. herbert lehman was a very distinguished and very popular governor who was a huge favorite to win another term, and it's a tribute to the campaign, the excitement that dewey created that lehman won in the end by 1%, and four years later, there was no doubt that, you know, dewey would win. the first republican in 20 years, and he went on to build an organization. some might call it a machine, but it was an odd organization. it was a good government machine, if you can imagine such a thing. >> john in -- go ahead. >> i'm not sure that i would -- organization, yes, machine, no, because it didn't outlive him. >> yeah. you're right. it didn't outlive him, but, you know, machines can be personal. rather than ideological

but new york was always and only about getting and spending. the dutch had founded it as new amsterdam, at the trading post to take furs from the iroquois indian, ship them back to holland. one of the fur traffic died and withered, they traded others. the english acquired the city, but it kept its character. i am sure you all know the founding myth of new york. that it was bought from the beads, for $24 in trinkets, tools by peter minuet in 1624. and the way the mess is usually told is that the indians were cheated, because for $24 they gave up manhattan island, worth billions and billions now. but i have heard some tellings of the myth, and that the indians who sold manhattan did not live here, they were just passing through. there may have been doubledealing on both sides. but myths always tell the truth. and the truth of that myth is that the soul of new york is commerce. that is why people live here, to make it, to get ahead. so, hamilton was coming for one commercial place, to another very commercial, innately commercial, place. it was also

west new york -- new jersey. >> caller: good evening. what did governor dewey think of governor rockefeller as an inheriter of the dewey mantel of eastern republicanism? >> well, i'll defer to tom who was there. >> you go first. >> i think he -- there is some debate over that, and in the book i'm working on that. i haven't quite made up my mind. but i'll tell you this, tom dewey was much more of a fiscal conservative than nelson rockefeller was, and there's a wonderful meeting toward the end of his life, where i think they are at a party of some sort, maybe a party event, and dewey says to rockefeller, nelson, i like you, but i'm not sure i can afford you. and dewey's approach to government was much more fiscally orthodox. he hated debt. he hated bonds. and nelson, of course, as we know, was a good deal less restricted in that regard. >> that's a very nice way of saying that. as far as the nixon v. rockefeller, dad did not attend the 1968 republican convention because the rockefellers going way back had been maybe his largest campaign co

[laughter] >> the gate receipts such, that there was only enough money for one train ticket out of town. [laughter] >> i will let you guess who got it. in vaudeville he sp
