roosevelt was in late 1942. this was late 1942 after the united states is in the war and the administration didn't want to get deeply involved in this issue, particularly the state department. the other problem was what could the united states do about the holocaust? we had troops anywhere near the killing grounds of europe. we would have no troops except in italy on the continent of europe until june of 1944 and didn't secure a position until later in 1944. >> host: that said, after the war roosevelt dies. was very change in policy at all tories european jews? >> guest: not so much. the holocaust was over. >> host: 's first establishment establishment as opposed to need state clinics >> guest: ultimately establishment of the palestinian state and the state of israel was a hugely controversial issue within the united states. on the roosevelt who had not been much of an advocate during the war becomes a major advocate of the establishment of a jewish state. the state department is against it. threatens to resign

roosevelt would undercut them and thus pious state. they are not very trainable. >> that is an understatement, that is very well put. they were not very trainable. they were clever and charming and high year in part because the political cover he was already at the gallop. she was already at the embassy said they were all pretty well fixed and connected socially. he was sort of in place, so a lot of them they hired because of his social connections and background. he had very little training. as a result, stevens and actually built himself something that he called camp x in canada. a was a quick flight from new york right outside of toronto and was a sort of finishing school from spies and ogilvy of fleming and a lot of them would go for about six weeks in the sticks to the it was in the middle of nowhere and sort of learn about the codes and forgery and safe cracking. i mean very little they ever used but they got a crash course on spies to the issues kilmerson his recollections about learning to kill a man with a newspaper or one han

roosevelt, and he lived out here on broadway, president roosevelt came to joe t. robinson's funeral, and joe t. robinson had in his pocket when he died the court packing plan for roosevelt so that they could get those decisions made. anyway, joe t. robinson passed away of a heart attack unexpect edly, and so the state democratic convention nominated governor carl bailey for the nat seat. the senate seat. and some people, this is the first time i've ever heard, and last time i've ever heard of this happening in arkansas. but some people were dissatisfied with that nomination. they thought there should be a primary, or it should have been open to more people or, you know, that kind of thing. so they held a rump convention, and 2200 people showed up, and they nominated john e. miller. not the johnny miller that we know so well from the state legislature, but the one that eventually became federal judge out of fort smith. he was the congressman from mr. mills' district. and so they ran against each other, paley and miller -- bailey and miller, and miller was elected.

roosevelt knew it. look at "fruits of graft," please. >> guest: well, let me give you a slightly different take on that. i i certainly would agree, certainly, with burt folsom, my friend who did "new deal or raw deal." i would certainly agree that roosevelt exacerbated a temporary recession and turned it into the great depression. i have a friend, former colleague at uc santa barbara, steven, he's retired now. steve did a paper that very few people have ever cited, but i've never seen anybody really refute it in which he argues that the my mum wage law which first -- minimum wage law which first came into effect in 1934 as a temporary measure drove down hiring and business expectations to a catastrophic level. and we never would have gotten out of the depression as reasoning as the minimum -- as long as the minimum wage law made it such that an employer had to pay, ten employees a dollar each, now he had to pay $2, but he could only hire five employees, okay? so i certainly agree that roosevelt had a ma

roosevelt held off.w, some of his advisers wanted him to declare war on germany along with japan. but he said no. and so we waited for three very long days until hitler declared war on us. >> thank god. >> yes, thank god. exactly. >> hitler, thank god he was stupid as well as evil. i mean, to do that when we could have avoided a war with us is just -- i don't even want to think about it. >> it was the stupidest thing he did in the whole war. >> i think invading russia was up there, too. he's the worst. thank you so much. lynne olson, you are a great writer. this person can write beautifully and make you love history. the book is called "those angry days." it's what we fight about when we really have something to fight about. >>> when we return, let me finish with the inevident blt of hillary clinton. kind of a jinx. i don't intend it to be. how she's going to make each party act differently in the next couple years. you're watching "hardball," the place for politics. zap. it's our fastest and easiest way

roosevelt, who took those daring steps, was reelected to the president four consecutive times.most popular president in american history. it is not a dead and political decision. it is the best decision a president -- it is not a dead in political decision, but the best decision the president could make. >> we're talking to richard democracy atr of, " work." before we talk about democracy at work, i want to go to a recent hearing in washington. executives with the banking giant jpmorgan chase appeared before a senate panel earlier this month to answer questions around so-called london will trades, the cost the bank more than $6 billion in the real financial markets worldwide. this is arizona republican senator john mccain criticizing jpmorgan's actions. >> jpmorgan completely disregarded risk limits and stonewalled federal regulators. it is unsettling that a group of traders made reckless decisions with federally insured money and that all of this was done with full awareness of top officials at jpmorgan. this bank appears to of entertained and embraced the idea that it was "to

and so franklin roosevelt have franklin roosevelt had a meeting in the oval office as an activist duringthe depression if you listened to their grievances and demands for change and he said i agree with everything you just said. now go out and make me do it. create the conditions that make it easy for progressive liberal allies of yours to pass these laws. i think that's a lesson that obama is learning right now. that he learned from the first four years of his presidency, when he didn't encourage active movements, even during the health care debate, but now in his inauguration speech, he said we can't do this from the white house. we can do this from inside. we need the outside. that's why we're talking about seneca falls and selma and stonewall it and so we will see whether on the gun control issue, on the immigrant rights issue, on the issues for climate change whether the movements around the country really build up to a point where president obama will say like roosevelt, go out and make me do it, create the political climate of protests and fear of rebellion that will make it possi

chambers to the roosevelt administration as early as 1939 with no visible results. kennan to the roosevelt administration through the diplomatic reporting from moscow in 1944-45, which he also felt to have been ineffective. both men found themselves as result isolated from many of their contemporaries, ostracized for having gone out on these limbs. although kennan's indication of course came far more quickly and far more painfully than that of whittaker chambers. neither took satisfaction in vindication, however. self congratulations for both men, both atypically in the modern age, was almost impossible. that's remarkable in the 20th century. one reason for this was religious faith, which became deeper for both of these men as they aged. but that faith resided in the city of god, not the city of man. that faith minimal expectations for what beyond bearing witness could be accomplished in this life. both men that are profoundly the the capacity of their naÏve, gullible country, united states, to survive in a sinister world. both were at the same time and in their own

if the private sector -- and here i'm paraphrasing franklin roosevelt in the '30s.the private sector either cannot or will not provide the work for millions of americans who want the work, then it's the job of the government to do it because no one else is. and if i were president, i would follow roosevelt and immediately create and fill millions, millions -- i'm talking 15 to 20 million jobs in the united states right away. number two, i would make it would some have called a "green new deal," that is the major thing these people would be doing would be to deal with the environmental crisis that we have, to change the way we use energy. for example ,just to give one, to give us the proper mass transportation system that advanced countries in other parts of the world already have that we ought to have. millions of people could go to work producing that system and give us a way to move our goods and move our people around the society using less oil and gas with less damage of injury and death the way our car-driven system has, with less pollution of our environment.

your viewers may recall that theodore roosevelt was probably the most famous of the rough riders. it's the role that propelled him into the white house. and the man on the left -- you can barely see that he has hobnail boots sticking out from under those blankets -- is a man named hamilton fish jr., and his father was secretary of state under grant, i believe. he had volunteered for the war and had been killed on the very first battle that the rough riders were in. the reason why this photograph is particularly important is first because it depicts as much as you can see that that body of probably the most famous person who was killed during the war. but it's also, i think, an indication of how the photographers felt about the men who were killed during the war. often we tend to think about war as in cliches. world war i was a war to end all wars and so forth. well, the litany for the spanish-american war was a war for duty and destiny. and the sense -- it was probably actually the most popular war in american history. more popular than even world war ii. and the sense was that th

frank lip roosevelt had two very -- franklin roosevelt had two very long-term affairs. one with his personal aide and secretary and cook and dresser -- undress or, apparently, too -- what if we threw fdr out of office or demanded his resignation as the economy was recovering? all the way back to the french and indian war, a very young george washington was writing very romantic letters to a woman who was not mrs. washington. her name was sally fairfax, a very attractive, older, sophisticated neighbor. what if washington's letters had become public during the french and indian war or the revolutionary war? much as petraeus with' e-mails became public. and what if we got rid of george washington? so neither -- bill clinton's not the first and not the worst, petraeus is not the first and not the worst. been there, done that, there's a long history of it. in fact, it pains me to say that even abraham lincoln visited a prostitute. i know, say it isn't so, right? but it happened. now, there's -- the details on it are sketchy. this is not a lot of letters written about this, b

and so he called up theodore roosevelt administration, looking for some diplomatic signature that would help them pay his bills and give them some honorable retirement. and he succeeded at this but it was unfortunate because he got an appointment in ecuador in july of 1982, only to contract tel aviv and his dead in in thw weeks. so it did not end in work out the way he'll. so when it comes to his legacy, which some people like to talk about a lot, he's famous for physics. primarily for first, the popularization of the elephant and the dog as symbols of the democratic and republican party. that did not originate the use of the donkey. that predated him by decades. he did link the elephant to the republican party, and that connection he exploited quite frequently as part of a larger symbolic world that he filled with lions and lambs and dogs and cats lies, and people as animals and animals as peoples. whatever animals were useful to them at the moment. he's also famous, second, for his designs of santa claus. this is one of the earliest ones that he drew during the civil war. he started t

teddy roosevelt even, who is probably one of the most devoutly religious presidents we ever had. he tried to get "in god we trust" off the coinage. and he was attacked by the then religious right, this religious president, for being atheist. the reason teddy roosevelt wanted god off the coins ithe government in his view had no business putting god on money, putting god and maman together. so we really see how many of these issues that ingersoll was dealing with, they mirror the things today. we have no spokesman like ingersoll. and while we have many spokesmen atheists, we don't have anybody who is part of sort of the regular public fabric of the nation who talks about these things from all formats all the time, not in terms of -- i never debates about the existence of god. why would you do tha who are you going to convince? i like to talk about public issues. but we don't have an ingersoll somebody who's that well-known and important, who will come out and talk about the relationship of religion to public issues in this way. >> how do young people respond to you when you say, "i
