door roosevelt. we're going to enter the roosevelt dining room. dining was very formal in the family. nothing happened until father came home from work, changes comes home from work, changes into an evening suit. children are expected to dress for dinner. they would do theme nights table, could be french, one night could be can tan, so if you wanted to pass the food you had to say it in the language of the day. he spoke six languages, read in four. brought up by the dumb waiter system, which is right behind this door. so the kitchen was downstairs on the level. so that, the area that we all walked in today that was area,ered the service there would have been an informal eating area, kitchen, quarters in the rear of the home. know that family added a fifth level to the house quarters.ts the dining room table on display is original to roosevelt's grandfather's home, the chairs date back to his sister's side of the family, and it's all about the dynamic of the family here.s who lived you had the four children, you his mom,arents, and interesting fact

it drives roosevelt crazy. the war does not end quickly and it is clear that it will go on for a wild. woodrow wilson cents a fellow texan -- sends a texan. house got his honorific for service he gave to james hogg of texas. when house went to germany, he had a hard time explaining that he knew nothing about military affairs. they kept talking to him about military strategy and he was in over his head. the french called him -- english called him "old sheepface." there may be something to that. he is drawing a preparedness movement. roosevelt is going to join with his former commander in the roughriders. like roosevelt, he had made his name in the spanish-american war. he and roosevelt had organized the roughriders. he is really the leader of the preparedness movement. he had been bothering taft. unlike today, so the net is different about the united states -- something that is different about united states is that we had a miniscule army. a national guard that was not well prepared. roosevelt joins them and the

roosevelt, final point here. life, sage end of his more hill, roosevelt is talking with one of his naturalist and he says, you know, i really would like to be the last sabretooth tiger, which i almost titled this book but i don't the publisher will let us get away. so anyway, i would like to read a poem. i like poem. one other thing -- a final thing. of the things about looking into the archives at this time people wrote a lot of poetry. i don't think people text each poetry today. poem was killed, he visited and described him nd painted a very human roosevelt picture. he's dressed in chopping trees, perhaps. a stocky frame. skin on cheeks. drained of their fat. puss was the neck or emptied lately. dimmer. dim and growing he rocked, he rolled a little, ike the man, the youth is fading. like the cart that rolls, when springs rolled. noose, scarred, battered from the hunters, thickets, stones. finest tips of antlers broken off. and images of ancient things back and forth across them, keeping still a slumber's wisdo

roosevelt would have none of it. roosevelt employed ed flynn who is the leader of the bronx and charlie murphy's protÉge just as smith was. the two irish-american politicians basically ran roosevelt's campaign. roosevelt won the nomination in chicago in 1832 and smith was so upset that he actually left the convention which was really not good form. but thereafter, it tammany and smith were pretty much bitterly opposed to roosevelt. the mother was still otherness over the fact roosevelt secretly had put pressure on jimmy walker to resign as mayor in 1931 and felt that had an unfair. but there is sadly in this history of tammany and the history about that for the president of the united states, a new yorker, is doing all the things that tammany seemed to stand for and get tammany was on the outside looking in. you know, i kind of see smith as a tragic figure they are. i think a lot of it was personal. i just find hard to believe that al smith really felt in his bones that were franklin roosevelt was doing this dobro. t

roosevelt was the one being wooed. this photo was taken in august of 1941, still four months before pearl harbor. they are aboard a british battleship. parenthetically it would be sunk four months later by japanese aircraft. no one in this photo knew at the time. it was hidden and completely secret, even from the secret service. roosevelt still hopes the united states might be able to limit its role in the war to what he called being the arsenal of democracy. he wanted the u.s. to provide the material of war so that britain and the commonwealth partners cannot only hold out but eventually with american support win. the hope had become more realistic after hitler's foolish and clearly fatal decision to invade the soviet union in the summer of 1941. that made churchill at least think it was possible, just barely possible, that with american money, russian blood, and british grit hitler might be beaten without the united states having to get into the war. the strategic landscape changed dramatically after pearl harbor. ch

roosevelt signed it early on it in '33. when you look at law it is a bunch of political impulses expressed on a piece of paper, instatued and then enforced. so the impulses were economy of scale is good. big is always better because at that time we are all hostage to fashion. the economy of scale, the bigger is better, was hot. bigger is always better and you want to question that. i am not sure that is necessary for recover. and another premise was consumer choice is bad. and it is like what do you mean by that? if the consumer picks he slows up the assembly line. every car should be black because it is uniform and uniform is faster and better. and they leave that is united states was failing because we were too diverse and chosey. you tell that to the starbucks' shareholder because it is a product premised on chaoice. we can take that extra 18 seconds to pick what milk we want in our coffee. in a famous case we talked about in "the forgotten man: a new history of the great depression," you could not pick your chicken from

and even roosevelt's own ambassador to the court of st.ames, joseph kennedy, the father of the future president, all opposed him. one of the reasons they did this was they believed such support violated the spirit, if not the letter, of american neutrality. in addition, most of them were convinced britain would not be able to hold out in any case, and that meant that when hitler won the war against the british, all of the supplies we were sending across the atlantic would end up in his pocket anyway. fdr bet that britain and he wasout, determined to do all that he could to make sure that it did. ofconvinced a majority americans, mostly through those famous fireside chats on the radio that britain's survival was essential to america's own security. and he got his way on most of these issues, including crucially lindley's, the program that allowed britain to survive, though barely, through those dark days of 1940 and 1941. throughding crucially lend-lease.e -- and winston churchill, without puckish smile on his face. his determination and gu

that roosevelt's advisor. federal tax revenues jumped by tens of billions by the korean war the correction from the income and profits taxes was $50 billion. more than 25 times what it had been in 1940. there were those that questioned the progressivity. he was one of those, but you write that most economic thinkers and politicians from left to right and embraced it even the most famous of the austrian economist that endorsed a progress of rate structure in those years allowing that some progression of direct taxes need not only be permissible but necessary to offset the tendency of the indirect taxes. >> guest: this is what i wrote a long time ago. the greedy hand, that is from thomas payne, the government making our prosperity is pray. and they actually know the progressivity is. most americans don't wear a kind of know, but what it is is you have a base rate and then they go up as you earn more money for the last dollar is taxed at a different rate than the first. the average isn't your marginal top grade u

roosevelt decides he is going to create a new bureaucracy in 1941. he is going to call it the coordinator of information, attach it to himself at the white house, and have donovan had it. this is established on july 11, 1941. pearl harbor hits that december. it is reorganized. the overt operations are put under the office of war intelligent -- of war, and the covert operations are put in an office named covert strategic services. donovan is reaching out to people like you. he wants the best and the brightest in our country. military. into the he reaches into academic and private industry. if he has an operation that requires a document specialist, a forger or lock pick, you will reach into prison if you need that kind of talent. ♪ ♪ >> this pic sure you are about to see is the first cinematic study of the preparation, arrival, and establishment of permanent cover for secret agents. >> over the course of its 3.5 year history, maybe 25,000 men and women have passed through its ranks. at its peak, 13,000 men and women served. william was a british speci

they telegrammed the president roosevelt, the children wrote letters to eleanor roosevelt and most importantly they telegraphed the state department who was in charge of immigration. in the telegram mr. warren said that the st. louis passengers, though they had had waiting number was have to wait their turn, so the numbers, and would have to leave american waters. so that closed the door on the st. louis. the state department telegram. and just for a second to anticipate some of the questions if you were going to ask about president roosevelt who again this was primarily a state department issue, but the question came up, couldn't president roosevelt have issued an executive order, because it was not legal for the st. louis passengers to come to the united states based on bureaucracy. and the answer is yes, there could have been executive order, there would have been some consequences, try to look at it in context. at that time president roosevelt was trying to modify the neutrality act, anticipating american involvement in world war ii. or there was a fear that it would encourage other ships

sent telegram to president roosevelt, didn't get no answer, mrs. roosevelt. sent telegram to canada, south africa, central america, nobody wanted to let us in. you, i happened to see miami beach when i was 12 years old, from the ship. and i was very impressed, and i tod to myself i would like live here some day. well, it took me a long way to get around there. and chaseduard came us away from miami. europe.ad to go back to that there later families, since we could not go back to germany, we ship.oing to jump hen the captain heard us, promised us that he won't take wouldk to germany, he scuttle the ship before we get to germany. well, two days before we arrived germany, we found out that countries won't let us in, france, belgium, holland and england. my parents, my brother and to france, we didn't know anybody there. we came to bologne, france was a jewish organization came on ship. children home in france, and asked the families if they want to send the a children home. so my parents said didn't know so they sentth us, the two boys, my brother and home., to

so roosevelt was scared to death of losing that election. that's the reason why he backed off. >> what's the question. >> what i'm curious what about eleanor roosevelt? she was really pro jew jish. did she ever have influence? >> i am not an historian of this topic. i do understand that she in a sense lobbied the president on this particular issue. how strong did she do it, obviously she wasn't successful. i don't know the answer to that question. but as you said initially in the comments the political pressure and the fear that he was going to do something that none of his predecessors have really done which is go for a third term could have been hurt if he had made this exception, which is the way it was portrayed at the time. >> yes, sir. >> and one of the thing that is you did not even touch on and you need to it is my understanding and it has always been my understanding that the cuban government invited that ship to come to cuba not one word was said about that and then turned them away. and i would like you to clarify at this point. >

pearl harbor, d-day, and president roosevelt's death. this is about 40 minutes. >> in his book, the late historian john keegan writes, the second world war is the largest event in human history, fought across six continents and all its oceans. it left hundreds of millions wounded, killed 100 18 million human beings, and materially devastated much of the heartland of human civilization. ins affected life here abilene as well as in communities around the world where our panelists were during the war. i will begin our introductions with march olson. marge spent the war, part of the war in texas and oklahoma. she followed her husband from post to post. they spent time in our relic, texas, that i know we will talk about. snyder.our panel were -- doris snyder. doris is the mother of our snyder.urator, william that has made the panel a real family affair as you will see in a moment. skipping down to the end of the bob was a boy in western oklahoma. went on to oklahoma a&m, now of course oklahoma state university, where he studied journalism. he

roosevelt and period of time was rather vulnerable. is an awe-inspiring and in that period of time he did feel the former ability and he was cautious and i suspect that if the issue came before him very specifically you have 900 on the ship my gut feeling is he would have said no move on there are more important things to do. one more question, yes ma'am. >> [inaudible] >> changing the mentality of the american jews. >> [inaudible] and i think it is an objection. [inaudible] the media does not like to mention how they were much less in the media. how then -- >> your point is how is it possible to change the mentality of the american people. big-time question involving a good bit of time, but i would be happy to ask. would you like to make a comment about that? >> i want to be responsive to the question. >> i would like to echo that there was something of a crying over the st. louis. there were front-page stories above the fold in "the new york times," the "washington post," the st. louis post-dispatch in the first few days of june, 193

so in different ways, in different decade, what theodore roosevelt, franklin roosevelt, richard nixon and perhaps the first bush shared in common was the assumption that if you want world peace it has to be primarily peace among the great powers and that means that their legitimate prerogatives as great powers including their prerogatives in their own regions will be recognized by the others including the united states. so it's completely different perspective from the bipartisan policy we have followed since the 1990s of trying to encircle and pin down all of the great powers in their own regions. i call it quadruple containment. the phrase is development of the phrase, dual containment from the cold war. quadruple containment means that we contain our allies as well as our enemies. if you look at four major powers, the two major powers of europe, germany and russia, the two major powers of east asia, japan and china, we contained germany and japan by keeping them as military weak dependent protectorates and at the same time we encircle other powers in the region, russia and china on

when filipinos followed commanders they went with a promise from president roosevelt that they wouldecome united states citizens. but that promise was not fulfilledded for years. filipino soldiers were waiting for dream, they were about to become american citizens. those men and 300,000 other filipino militants fought in baton and they fought in corrigidor. president roosevelt promised the filipinos and other soldiers united states citizenship but it never happened for the filipinos because the japanese occupied their country for much of the war. >> there were 1 million filipinos in world war ii fighting for -r -- fighting for the american flag. >> it has created a loss of faith for america. it's partly because of this dishonored promises. >> reporter: after 45 years of court battles, immigration law was finally changed last year. especially to allow filipino soldiers to become u.s. citizens. >> it's a great opportunity for me. i've been waiting for a long time. for 14 years i've missed my family. >> i served in the u.s. army that's why. and i love my, america is number one. more ben

on that day i remember the radio was on, and remember definitely hearing president roosevelt tell us about pearl harbor. i knew then it was going to hange my life. actually, within just a few short months, my husband did leave for the service, and i became not only a war bride, but eventually i did become rosie the riveter for a short time in amarillo, texas. but it definitely changed our life. mr. and mrs. reeves, your experience was different as dependent children at the time the war broke out. what were your and your parents' reaction >> my 6th birthday was the next day. i probably didn't appreciate all that attention to pearl harbor, but it impacted us because three older brothers. it was something that we were very -- my family was very aware of the significance. it was a big deal. >> i was playing in a flower bed in the front yard digging, and mother came out and told me that the japanese had attacked. it sort of register as a big thing, but it got even bitter because dad was preparing a christmas lighting decoration for our house. he at that moment altered it to victory. for h
