when roosevelt was still hoping to persuade the d.c. french to work on his behalf when they were totally under german control. when the americans were about to convey north africa, roosevelt actually drafted a letter that started my dear old friend, which was just too much even for churchill, who got him to change the citation, if not the content of the letter. and the american ambassadors to madrid were old conservatives who were completely persuaded by the local fascists that they were okay folks. so we had the incredible situation and your pm is really going against the grain completely, when the american troops entered north africa, they had made a deal, to keep the french troops from shooting back. they were only partially successful. but they kept the v.c. government in place so that you had after the american troops were there, you have people who are working for the gall. your spanish republicans. you at people who helped inspire to help the americans to land. being kept in prison by the authorities. if any of you had read, ther

and franklin roosevelt used exactly the same language that his cousin, theodore roosevelt, had dictatedin 1903. now there are at least a couple of events affecting my research that occurred, i would say, serendipitously. early on a new york literary agent found out that i was doing this. i'm not sure how he discovered me, but he contacted me to offer his services and to request that i write a book proposal that he could blog with very under various published housing. this prompted me to organize my thoughts and to write what he essentially became the introductory chapter to my work. ultimately, this agent informed me that he had learned that another writer had signed a contract with a major new york publishing firm to write a history of guantanamo, and he didn't think the commercial market would absorb two works on the subject. the other book, has never materialized. the second serendipitous event was that one of the first places i went to do research was the washington navy yard, and what i do whenever i plan to go to an archive is i get in touch with the head archivist before i'm comi

eleanor roosevelt. imagine that happening now. complained that p.m. was run by trump guys. obviously pcp was not totally satisfied. they did defend, apart from john lewis who was to the right, they did defend the labor leaders including a communist that roosevelt was trying to deport back to australia and so it was a riskier thing to defend him than to defend walter. so they were very strong on those lines. as to the post warfare do you want to say anything about that? >> i tried to answer that. .. >> because he was too smart, but if anyone looks at the microphone, knows that wexler was writing terrific, really terrific stuff in 1940, 1941 and 94 to on behalf of the trade unions, and then pretended he didn't do it later because he was too smart to be a communist snoop. anyway, he started as an american progressive, at the same time, ken crawford almost simultaneous with wechsler's resignation from "pm" published an article in the new leader, the socialist party publication that was also currently anti-c

teddy roosevelt. a guy i thought i liked. i had a bust of teddy roosevelt in my house.se it now as a doorstop. only the real elite recognized what was going on. earlier this week i showed you that progressives mainly led by fdr and woodrow wilson learned how to use the media. centers of higher education. and then law school starting in the 1920s to transform america slowly, because they tried to do it quickly and honestly and out in the open under wilson. but it failed. you see, in the early 20th century, progress is were very popular. under teddy roosevelt. in the early part with woodrow wilson. until their policies really began to unveil themselves. the progress is were the people that brought us the fed. how is that working out for you? the income tax. pretty sweet, huh? the idea that they could decide what was best for you. they would control your diet and with a went into your body. does this sound familiar, transfats? they were the people who brought you prohibition. the final straw on the progressive era when they decided to bury it was when woodrow wilson decide

. >> brown: we were talking about roosevelt and lincoln. those were the big names. a year later? >> well, you know, the problem is actually you could look at the last year as each party had its own idea of what history was being repeated. on the left for all those reasons that you cited at the beginning of the segment there was a sense that the country had gone overnight from being center right to center left. and was therefore at least receptive to a much more, if you will, activist federal government in a number of areas. the difference between 1933 and today is franklin roosevelt took off as essentially conservative country that had been radicalized by three-and-a-half years of despair. i mean when you had people in american cities searching for their next meal in garbage piles, guess what, survival trumps ideology. ironically in part because the outgoing and incoming administrations cooperated, because they were the opposite of what roosevelt and hoover failed to do, because there was this consensus , you have a great recession instead of a great depression. one consequence o

he was not a robust consciousness type of person such as roosevelt, who loved the job, or reagan, who would not get down on anything in terms of what was going on. it really got to him. >> such a great orator, such a wonderful speaker in webster. how did he and polk get along? >> not very well. webster was sanctimonious in his own way. he was a wihig. i would also like to talk about thomas benton. he was a big man with a big face full of crags and the beat of a nose. he sort of gave off an impression that he did not have much use for the mutterings of lesser men, which was a category that included most of the people he came into contact with. and he had a gun battle with andrew jackson on the streets of national as a young man. they were friends for a long time. he was jackson's a decamp in the war of 1812. but jackson had consented to be the second in a duel of a frid who was having a friend with benton's brother, jesse. jesse -- the benton's were trashing jackson all over national. >> that idea. >> they both were wounded, and benton was persona non grata in tennessee, going and it's

roosevelt. he freed the slaves and saved the union. and because he feeds the union he was able to free the slaves. beyond this however, our extraordinary interest in him and his team for him has to do with what he said and how he said it. and much of this had to do with the union, what it was and why it was worth the saving. he saved it by fighting and winning the war of course. but his initial step in this was the decision to go to war, not a popular decision and certainly not an easy one. his predecessor, the incompetent james buchanan, believed that the state had no right to succeed from the union but there was nothing he could do about it if they did. that, by the time lincoln took office, seven southern states have succeeded and nothing had been done about it. led by south carolina, they claim to be doing only what they and the other side done in 1776. to oppose them might bring on the war and buchanan had no stomach for this. lincoln knew that the time had come when the only way to save th

family and franklin roosevelt, he had a terrible time with that name. supposedly the people would say are you a clone of your father, he wasn't he was trying to be is on president and was a difficult life he had. >> host: in that case it was similar it was franklin roosevelt and eleanor roosevelt, a mother and father who were extraordinary and you see this i think you see this clearly and at 11 is was very hard on her children triet she would write these very strong letters to her youngest son, thomas who wasn't doing the things she was pretty much accusing him of the two of because she assumed. >> guest: she assumed he was being bad at harvard and he was working his head off trying to do as well as his brother, john quincy, who was a genius, so there's a lot of fascinating by playback at fourth. >> host: tells the story to the audience we've all heard the letter where he wrote, abigail rights during the independency discussions to remember the ladies of the reply -- >> guest: it was one of the most famous letters. she wanted him to remember the ladies

grace tully served as the personal secretary of presidents franklin delano roosevelt from june of 1941 to april of 1945. in her capacity as personal secretary to the president, ms. tully represerved an assortment of personal papers and other historical items that have come to form a historically significant collection. while the private owner of the collection would like to donate the materials this the -- to the franklin delano roosevelt library, the national archives has asserted a claim to a portion of the collection. the claim asserted by the national archives impacts whether the private owner may claim a tax deduction for the donation. nrd to -- in order to facilitate the donation of the archives, senate bill 692 waives the government's claims to the records and will allow the collection to be gifted to the roosevelt library. madam speaker, the grace tully archive represents an important part of american history through the passage of senate bill 692, we ill ensure that this collection will be properly preserved and made publicly available through the roosevelt library. i'd like t

he was out of with roosevelt for instance. i know franklin d. roosevelt junior quite well and be a terrible time with that name. you know, he was supposedly supposed to be the actual would say, are you a code of your father? he wasn't. he was trying to be his own person, you know, and it was a very difficult life. >> host: and then not face it is similar that franklin roosevelt and eleanor roosevelt there were extraordinary and i think you see this clearly. and abigail adams was very hard and her children. she would write very strong letters to her husband thomas wasn't doing the things that she was pretty much accusing him of because she assumed he was. >> guest: she assumed he was being god and he was working his head off trying to do as well as the older brother, john quincy, who was a genius. so there was a lot of fascinating a play back and forth. >> host: tell the story to the audience. we've all heard the letter where he wrote -- were abigail writes in the discussion. but the reply -- >> guest: she wanted him to remember the ladies. but i

the first justice who use that building extensively as his office was hubert block, roosevelt's first appointee, appointed after the building was completed. supreme court justices are not shy, and some felt that the new building was to grant, too grandiose. later, chief justice stone, he was an associate justice when the building was built, and alleged to say that he thought the justices were like nine black beetles, and they should write in each morning on elephants. he also made the comment that the building was for nine old guys on the supreme court. the other thing about the building, aside from the fact that it had an awful lot of marble in a -- if it -- in it, which the justices were not accustomed to, the building was very large. gilbert and tapped vote of like unlike many other -- they thought that like many other buildings, they recognized it is a corporate world. so a lot of space was there, and justices who came to the court felt that there was a lot of wasted space, and of course, i think that both taft and gilbert proved to be correct, because the same building was used f

teddy roosevelt started this effort almost a century ago. he said that we needed to make affordable quality health care available to all americans. over the ensuing century we have not accomplished that objective. we have now moved further than in any time in history on a bill that does exactly what teddy roosevelt and many presidents, republicans and democrats who followed him, said we need to accomplish. we are here working on that effort. we are going to be successful. we know the president looks forward to signing a health care reform bill which provides affordability and accessibility and accountability of which the speaker spoke. thank you very much. >> our distinguished whip. >> thank you, madam speaker. i'm trying to hide behind him because i'm dressed for the weather today. >> i just changed. [laughter] >> i do believe that all of us heard from our constituents over the holidays, and we know that they're looking forward to us using the time between now and when we reconvene to have a legislation well underway to reconciliation. we a

i knew franklin roosevelt, jr. quite well, and he had a terrible time with that name. supposedly people were saying are you a clone of your father? he wasn't. he was trying to be his own and was a very difficult life he had. >> host: in that case it was franklin, eleanor and roosevelt so you have a mother, father extraordinary and you see this i think you see this clearly -- at adel adams was very hard on her children and would write these very strong letters to her youngest son, thomas, doing things pretty much accusing him of. >> guest: he was assuming he was being bad at harvard and he was working his head off doing as well as his older brother, john quincy, who was a genius so there is a lot of fascinating byplay back and forth. post total story about the audience. we've all heard the letter where he wrote where abigail rights during the independency discussions to remember the ladies reply. >> guest: of course of reading was that she wanted him to remember the ladies in the new government he was putting together. but instead, instead of a sensible answer, john was

and two years later there were 200 more democrats than there were republicans under roosevelt. in other words, it kept increasing. the democratic numbers are not going to increase. what the democrats are concerned about are more retirement in the house, especially because open seats are the most vulnerable place for a party to defend. an incumbent is still tougher to defeat in a house election. >> lehrer: no matter whether they are republican or democrat. >> republican or democrat. in 1994 when the democrats suffered their few nam -- tsunami loss with bill clinton, lost 54 house seats, 40 of the 52 seats they lost were open seats. that is members retiring, or running for another office. they have been able to keep the retirements now under single digits. if they can do that they should be in pretty good shape. but i don't think anybody expects the democrats not to lose probably somewhere around the average of 21 seats which is the average number that a president loses in his midterm of his first term. >> lehrer: dow want to take it to even a larger picture. >> in the ploois see

here we have a supreme court striking down new deal legislation and what does roosevelt do?legs and bring to change the supreme court but i'm not going to wait the way presidents do today for retirement. it is such a clever thing. he says -- he couldn't believe it. >> host: but john, he waited until after the 1936 election. >> guest: he got a huge majority but his reason was -- >> host: he's jacksonian. >> guest: that's true. he might have waited specifically for this but to say that the justices on the supreme court or sold -- the need help -- >> host: anyone over 70. >> guest: that was older than come off like now. >> host: these guys are sold and holding up blood because there wouldn't justices they are sold. >> guest: he said these guys come from the horse and buggy generation. we can't understand the modern economies of for everyone over 70 there will be in a seat on the supreme court created for younger man to help him. >> host: they were appointed by republican so of course they're not going to be going up. well, not so fast, victoria, yes after the threat of this leg

busted the trust and that business got big again, and then people got poor again, and ben franklin roosevelt had to come in and save them. i think that a great deal of this, i'm all for spending more time on learning american history. but one of the terrible terrible things is that people in high schools, i know you're asking about elementary schools, our reading howard zinn's a people history of the united states, which is a tissue of lies. about the country. among those lies, the notions of the growth of business makes people poor. no recognition at what henry ford did. i'm not a huge fan of henry ford that i am jewish and henry ford was a world-class anti-semi. over, he changed america vastly for the better. giving people ordinary people, the ability to buy a car a lot of people to go on vacation, and a lot of people take weekends off. i mean, it's incalculable, the gift that was provided there. and virtually every gift that has allowed the middle-class lifestyle, for better and worse, to emerge with the limbless choices that middle-class people have for this country today has come becaus

they're being taught about business is business got too big and made people poor and then teddy roosevelt came in and boasted the trust and business got big again and then people that poor again and franklin roosevelt had to come and save them. i think that a great deal of this, look i'm all for spending more time on learning american history that one of the terrible, terrible things is people in high schools, and i know you're asking a live tree schools are reading hubbard zinn's which is a tissue of lies about the country and among those are the notions that the growth of business makes people poor. no recognition what henry ford did. i'm not a huge fan of henry ford. i'm jewish and very jewish reactive and henry ford was a world-class anti-semite. however, he changed america for the better. giving people ordinary people the ability to buy a car following people to go on vacation and take weekends off. it is incalculable the gift provided there and virtually every gift that is allowed the middle class lifestyle for better and worse to emerge with be limitless choices middle class people

there has been a significt shift in public opinion er the last, really ovethe last year when fralin roosevelt was passing hireforms he galvanized t majority behindim. what oma has done is recoiled the majory. so you have thpollster's list, who do yourust on this issue, republicans or democrats on 13 separa sues, the public opinion is shifting to the reblican side on all 13, so of them quite siificantly. more peoe call themselves conservative than have before. more people ink global warming n't real than bere. more people are mo o-life than before. gun contl, more hostility. so the who shift to the right in the countryas happened over the st year. sort of a recoil. and i suspect and it just theory, that it is because people a traditionally suspicious of washingt, and th see a lot of power concentrated in washgton anthey are recoiling so that shod be of concern. >> lehrer: that is a big picte, mark, do you see -- >> it is, it is enormous picture,eah. davi-- >> i can g bigger. >> i was going tsay. i s going talk about chris dodd and byronorgan, two senators. >> lehr: what did i ask? >> let's tal

he inherited the biggestw3 economic mess since roosevelt and hear it in harmony with economic freefall. -- inherited an economy which would free fall. >> senator, in light of the, as you just may, explain realistically how much as of the president's control. , to maybe out of congress's control when it comes to creating jobs? describe to me the prospects that a whatever jobs bill, congress -- comes out of congress will have a major affect on creating new jobs, reversing been month over month, at least no net job creation. will it have an effect? guest: i think so. the government does not create jobs. the private sector creates jobs, especially small to medium-sized businesses. is there a set of government policies that creates this creation -- supports the creation of those jobs? what we should do and probably should have done long ago, talking about a year ago, is begin the process of financial reform. to say, and we will fix the system at the top, the financing system that was involved in an unbelievable in gambling and agreed and steered the country into a ditch. if we are serious a

the slimmest of 5-4 majorities overturned legal principles that have been in place since theodore roosevelt's administration. the five justices who make up the court's conservative bloc opened floodgates that had for over a century kept unlimited spending by corporations from drowning out the voices of the american people. it would be hard to call this decision anything other than judicial activism. let me start by reminding my colleagues of the long history of successful and appropriate regulation of corporate influence on elections. federal laws restricting corporate spending on campaigns have a long pedigree. the 1907 tillman act restricted corporate spending on campaigns. various loopholes have come and gone since, but the principle embodied in that law more than 100 years ago that inanimate business corporations are not free to spend unlimited dollars to influence our campaigns for office was an established cornerstone of our political system. moneyed interests have long desired to wield special influence, but the integrity of our political systems always has had champions. from teddy ro

were nearly big enough and then at the point which the deficits were starting to have a good impact roosevelt got talked into balancing the budget in the federal budget from a deficit of 5.5% of gdp in 1936, into a complete balance budget in fiscal year 1938. so we took 5.5% of gdp and out of the economy that would have otherwise been stimulus of and as a result wasn't until world war ii that the depression really ended. >> host: to make -- arizona, andy on are democrats line. >> caller: good morning. i am looking at the kind of economists that the republicans in washington and groups like the u.s. chamber of commerce are trying to support, the lassiez-fare tax cuts and trying to say that tax cuts create jobs and i've never seen any evidence of that in my lifetime. i'm also wondering what you think about increasing stimulus and actually going out and spending more money to create some more of demand out there. >> guest: well, at this point i think it would probably be not a good idea to have a second stimulus package for this reason. if you look at the economy there's an awful lot of evidence

big enough, and at the point at which the deficits were starting to have a good impact, roosevelt goss talked into balancing the -- got talked into balancing the budget, and the federal budget went from a deficit of 5-1/2% of gdp to a complete balanced budget in fiscal year 1938. so took 5-1/2 percent of gdp out of the economy, and its wasn't until world war ii that the depression really ended. >> host: to mess sarks arizona, good morning, andy on our democratic line. >> caller: good morning. i'm looking at the kind of economist that the republicans in washington and groups like the united states chamber of commerce are trotting out and supporting their tax cuts and trying to say tax cuts create jobs, and i have never seen any evidence of that in any lifetime. i'm also wondering what you think about increasing stimulus and actually going out and spend mortgage money to try to create some more demand out there? >> guest: i think it would probably not be a good idea to have a second stimulus package. there's evidence that be turned the corner and passed the bottom. and in terms of gdp th

reagan had it, franklin roosevelt had it, and it contributed greatly to their success. jimmy carter did not have it. the to bush's did not have -- the two bush's the not have it. obama inherited an economy collapsing from capitalist greed. he did by securing the fortunes of those who caused the disaster, but never explained adequately to the public why this was necessary. franklin roosevelt announced -- denounced what he called the malefactors of privilege. i think that the result was anchor field by those seeking to direct it from the perpetrators to the victims in the inheritors. -- and the inheritors. the next issue is health care, to offer americans the kind of security that is offered as a given to people in economically advanced states. he never explained to the public exactly how it would work and why it was essential. i think it was a terrible mistake and resulted in a bill that was not as good bet -- as good as he would have liked. he did not explain how it would work or how it was essential. what he did was jointly offer, but he never sold it. he had congress

front and roosevelt had this. -- franklin roosevelt had this.t also contributed greatly to their success. jimmy carter did not have it. the two bushes did not have it. expectations were lower. obama inherited an economy collapsing from capitalist greed and the failure of public regulation. he did it by securing the fortunes of those who caused the disaster but never explained adequately to the public why this was necessary. there's enormous anger as a result of the federal bailout. franklin roosevelt by contrast denounced what he called the malefactors of privilege. he was not afraid to do so. he did not want to be universally loved, and he was not. i think the result is a flood of populist anger, fuelled by those seeking to directed away from the perpetrators to the victims of the inheritors. on the issue of his presidency in after that is health care, to offer americans a security, offered as a given to people in economically advanced states, but he never explained to the public how it would work and why it was essential. he pointed off to con

franklin roosevelt built on these ideas when he delivered his four freedoms speech in 1941.ade of crises and a crisis of confidence. the vision of a world in which all people enjoyed freedom of expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear transcended the troubles of his day. years later, one of my heroes, eleanor roosevelt, worked to have these principles adopted as the cornerstone of the universal declaration of human rights. they have provided a lodestar to every succeeding generation, inviting us, and enabling us to move forward in the face of uncertainty. as technology moves forward, we must think back to that legacy. we need to synchronize our technological progress with our principles. in accepting the nobel prize, president obama spoke about the need to build a world in which peace rests on the inherent rights and dignities of every individual. in my speech on human rights in georgetown a few days later, i talked about how we must find ways to make human rights a reality. today we find an urgent need to protect these freedoms on the digital

long ago, when teddy roosevelt was president of our country, he said conservation is a patriotic thing to do. it is important that we understand the spiritual value of being in nature, so are state parks are quite important to us. i was distressed that my predecessor padlocked some of the state parks. very early in my term as governor, i ordered that the parks be open, and they are, and i am glad to see that. that is just the beginning of openness in our government. we had to work together on all kinds of important tasks. one that is important for our economy is that we had to get 3/5 vote of the members of the general assembly in the house and in the senate to vote for what is called the job recovery bill, whatever you want to call it. for 10 years in illinois, we did not have the legislation passed that invested in the fundamental things in our economy like safe roads and bridges, improving our water systems, making sure we have a good rail system to get goods to market, to build our schools and rebuild our schools. there was a lot of friction. this past year, which came together and

theodore roosevelt or steve jobs tend to like kansas memos that get to the heart of the matter and these massive power.presentation this and the process that other people use. people who have intuitive thinkers tend to be very good at adapting to change with innovative solutions. there are quite a few of these people. they are at the lower level of the officer corps. why are there not as many higher of. a lot has to do with the fact that people with higher ranks are in a judging category. people think like they do. people need to spend a lot of time and effort trying to bring up and cultivate more of those intuitive thinking types. this is at the heart of one of the most important structures in the military today over the future of the officer corps. general stanley petronis and general casey very much understands we have seen them talking a lot about the leadership. general david petraeus in the promotion board. they were not given a fair shake to the more intuitive thinking types. with those heavyweights behind you you would think they would be fixed. there they large constituency in t

to be president right now was going to face the most difficult contentious times since franklin roosevelt in 1932. there are no easy solutions. wars abroad, the economy at home. the disaffection of the country. the feel the politics is broken and more vicious and vile and tearing apart all the country and the disaffection of the united states. so this is a tough time. but i thought if you look through the history of this period that herb so brilliantly drew, captured, we went through enormously difficult times. from the great depression to world war ii, to the vietnam period, civil rights.meñ nobody was more courageous than herb on civil rights and the drawings of them and you'll see them. they're just terrific. and all this. so we did go through a lot of very, very tough times. we always surmounted them. and i also have to say -- i thought about this a lot, carla, and looking at the book, i even -- even though i did the writing on this thing, i sat at home and i looked at the cartoons, that's great and i find things in them and i hadn't seen before. i admire them very much. my feeling is

>> he happened to manage any world war ii roosevelt called him the organizer of victory in world war ii. truman called him the greatest american at the age. he developed and let something like 84 generals during world war ii. he redesigned army education, army officer training in the 1930's and then produced from fort benning georgia from the infantry officer school most of the great generals of world war ii and he also identified and brought eisenhower into the fold, and then he didn't raise mcarthur so to speak but he saved macarthur. he got him out in 1942 and so he was also overseeing macarthur. he also identified patton as a great leader, great for your. so martin was the sort of got father of our forces in world war ii. in addition to that almost everybody has heard of the marshall plan, and this was in 1947 when he became secretary of state. first he was the champion of the war and then after world war ii he became first ambassador to china and tried to work out a piece. and then he appointed secretary of state and as secretary of state she basically attached design and sold t
