roosevelt understood that. he said i always see myself just sitting around in hyde park, talking to a dirt poor farmer, it forced him to keep himself words simple, concepts easily understood, and that is exactly what he did. he was incredibly gifted at this, never been equaled since in terms just how effective he was. i spoke a minute ago of the power in and the intimacy of radio. roosevelt, as i mentioned, spoke slowly. he used mall words. he -- small words. he called his audience my friends. the overall effect was friendly in conversational and conveyed warmth and trust. his broadcast predecessors, the presidents i mentioned, they gave speeches on the radio. franklin roost had conversation -- franklin roosevelt had conversations with people that were effective. when you think about this, when he became president in the previous 140 years of american history, most americans had never even seen a president. and yet now they were hearing one in their own home. it was absolutely electrifying. first fireside chat

now, you roosevelt scholars in the'm know leahy as roosevelt's chief of staff. his wartime counselor, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, and really the de facto national security adviser long before that position was set up, and four years ago, when i published "aid millers" which you mentioned, about america's four five-star admirals, a scheduling conflict prevented me from being here at this conference so i jumped at the chance to come here to talk about macarthur. but ifed had been here four years ago to talk about leahy and the admirals, i think i would have mentioned that leahy really was the man during the last three years of roosevelt's life who really was the mainstay of his administration, and perhaps more to the point, is the one who really i think sort of transitions and explains the roosevelt legacy to truman. how does that relate to macarthur? well, lail he is actually a great segway to macarthur because douglas' older brother, arthur iii -- here's the story -- was a classmate of leahy's at annapolis. arthur graduate in the 1896 and became a nav

fast-forward 230 years and we find franklin roosevelt's father james roosevelt, a vice president of the delaware and hudson railroad and a wealthy land owner just outside of the hudson river town that had just changed its name to hide park to show upscale a bit. in 1808 the widow e of the age of 52, attractive woman has his age of sarah. first american delanos immigrant from northern france by way of the netherlands. they had migrated to america almost literally in the wake of the mayflower and established themselves and had knack for certain trade. elenaro's father had made money in china, in trade, all legal. like james roosevelt he had acquired a lot of estate in the hudson valley, his daughters, he insisted could mary only men who possessed exert -- competence of a hundred thousand dollars or a few million on our own inflated currency of today. well, james roosevelt fit the profile. he was wealthy, sarah was clearly attracted to him. the couple would have only one child delivered an 24-hour of labor, they named him for sarah's favorite uncle franklin delenor. this book covers politi

i am going to call eleanor roosevelt mrs. roosevelt. our version of eleanor roosevelt is mrs. roosevelt's version. her upbringing was so awful, so emotionally arid, so devoid of parenting, a drunken father and demented father that was there and not there and seeing visions and telling her that he loved her and that he was going to come and sleep are never going to come live in europe and the disappeared and finally died. her mother was distracted and disappointed in herself she had no model parent. when she became first a wife and then a parent she relied enormously on franklin's mother. there are many people the right about the roosevelts with different views and this is my view. sarah roosevelt was happy to fill the vacuum. she was the most devoted mother that there ever was. eleanor was terribly grateful at the time that she took over hiring nannies, that she gave her child raising advice. later in her life, some of that stuff became distorted. she began to see it as somebody taking over her life. when it was happening, she was grateful for it. she developed and she was, si

franklin roosevelt's fifth cousin.he was ted roosevelt junior, a hero from world war i, cofounder of the american legion and later he would be a hero in world war ii at utah beach on d-day. the oyster bay roosevelts hated the hyde park roosevelts and there was a family battle and a political battle and the oyster bay roosevelts were cited with the isolationists and franklin roosevelt was pushing toward intervention in the war. others included former president herbert hoover and perennial socialist candidate norman thomas. college campuses were hotbeds of antiwar fervor almost as much as during the vietnam war. thanks to orders from american weapons and goods, and for the first time since the great depression. you can understand from an economic perspective people didn't want to go to war. they wanted to enjoy they could finally purchase a refrigerator, finally had enough food to eat. there were other reasons. there were the enduring memories of the wiping out of a generation of young european men in the trenches of the

for those of you who are new, welcome to the 2016 roosevelt reading festival. we are so glad to have you here today. i think you already know the format. i will talk for about a half hour and then we will have about ten minutes of question-and-answer and then we will go out and set up and you can get signed copies of the book which are pretty wonderful. we are very excited about this year here at the library. this will be our 75th anniversary at the end of june and we are celebrating in many ways and is reading festival is one of the ways we think franklin and eleanor roosevelt would both be really happy about because this is exactly how they wanted the site to be used as a center for people to talk about the roosevelt era and to bring people together to have a meaningful conversation. to support programs like this you probably saw our membership table. if you want to be a member we strongly encourage that. the challenge we face here with someone like david is that he is highly accomplished. i can spend the next hour talking about his background. he served duri

roosevelt.the roosevelt is a well-known public figure, a woman of enormous importance in 20th century american hit jury. what did you learn about her? i know you probably know a whole lot more about roosevelt and his project than he did about murray. >> i've always heard that she was a compassionate person in the debt of her compassion and the death of her acceptance to polly really struck me. i asked polly's friend who saw them, wanted particular saw polly and celebrate together more than anyone. how did eleanor deal with polly? she was impatient. she said what she thought. instead, you know, polly can be embarrassingly direct. but i credit eleanor roosevelt was hanging in the air with her and being unwilling to allow this young woman to lay out a loan, crying in the wilderness. that was one of the first interviews i did. that gave me a window into a eleanor roosevelt's patients with young people, polly in particular and her willingness to listen. that was the other thing. she appears to be in

so roosevelt wanted one as way. so enough of me. welcome dave priest and have you have a great session. [applause] >> thank you, paul, and thank you to everyone here at the roosevelt library involved with the reading festival. thank you all for coming and learning about our shared hoyt here. you've here to talk about the president's book of secrets, a term for the daily intelligence that the president of the united states has received for decades in various forms. the presidency in the modern era is so different than what it was 200 years ago. but there's a few key points along the way. i'll talk to you about the inflection points, focusing on both president roosevelt, what came before him and what came after him. but it does center around what we take for branched today which is that the president of the united states receives top secret intelligence delivered to him personally, tailored to him permanently to allow him to anticipate threats to national security, and hopefully to identify foreign policy opportunities. act ahead of t

so he roosevelt personally. he liked being in the same room and they got along when they were together but in almost every instance he felt that roosevelt was a disaster, publicly. >> he calls him the tom sawyer of the political world and he doesn't mean that as a compliment. if you remember tom sawyer's character, he was a show off and he said he would go to halifax for half a chance to show off and held for a whole one. >> i remember also you pointed out that twain was somewhat disappointed or at least philosophical about hayes role in all of that. i actually wrote down that he writes good friend from the church and says i'm sorry for john hay and ashamed. he wears a collar and he has to pay the penalty. he meant it in terms of moral conscience which i think also leads us to the acquisition and the building of the panama canal that letter i had read years ago and read at different times. >> it sort of, when they lay their lives together, you learn when he wrote that letter, it, it was in the election of 1904 a

to say teddy roosevelt failed is generous, this book is not about me, it's not about roosevelt or litigating where he is on the political spectrum, it's a call to action. to me is meant to inspire, motivate and remind americans of every generation what makes america special and that it is worth fighting for and some of us carried a rifle and many in this generation still do, but you don't have to carry a rifle to be in the arena. it's our job to instill the principles that perpetuate what is you know an experiment, experiment in human freedom. the 21st century isn't an american history, then the 21st century will not be a free century. it's just a fact. you look threats loom ideologies around the world are quite different than ours and a quote something i put in the book throughout is the phrase history is not over. history is never over. and all we have to do is look to western europe today to realize that when you decide to gut your military to pay for your welfare state and you forget who you are, you have a tendency to ride a wave of history as oppose to shaping it. if getting off to a g

do you consider teddy roosevelt a progressive? garland tucker: oh, yeah. multifaceted person, but certainly if you read what he ran as the candidate, he was way out there. he made wilson look conservative in the 1912 election. he was arguably certainly less progressive when he was president, but there is no question he was the first progressive elected. and you know, by the time he died in 1919, he appeared to certainly come back into the republican party, because he hated wilson so much, primarily. leftnk you is arguably, he -- he was less progressive than he was in 1912. it is interesting, if you look at coolidge, coolidge started in his career very successful, political career that he moved up in massachusetts. a roosevelt progressive, and he became increasingly more and more conservative. question thee n, whoman had at ico would you be watching today that could possibly have enough gravitas in conservative circles to be added to your book? well, i think: back to the question a minute ago from a gentleman across the table, oftentimes, we don't know. i t

this is eleanor roosevelt living through this moment. so eleanor roosevelt in terms of universal declaration of human rights, in terms of the united nations, in terms of global consensus about what is right and what is wrong is -- i don't think there's any figure that's comparable. i will note that when hillary clinton began her campaign, she began it at a park that honors eleanor roosevelt. so i think for clinton, eleanor roosevelt is her top role mold. >> i'm going to do something which i know as a fellow author i hate which is to ask you why you didn't include certain people, certain facts or certain things. >> sure. >> to my mind -- now, i know jimmy carter's in here, but he's not prominent. and to my mind, jimmy carter's actually underappreciated because he's the first president who actually injected human rights into the national, international foreign policy debate. before carter it was kind of an academic exercise. borders, military movements, things like that. but he was the first one to really kind of put, you know, who started

roosevelt comes in with further cuts. so that scene your are describing that unfolds in the oval office is roosevelt, the secretary of war and macarthur fighting it out over the implications of these budget cuts. how crippled with the u.s. army would be if these registrants were put into place. our boys would be dying needlessly because of it. brian: where did this come from, by the way? are the quotes from general macarthur or from roosevelt? arthur: that comes from his own account. brian: i just vomited on the steps of the white house. he writes. arthur: that is very interesting. these are memoirs he writes just before his death. for the first time for many people exposing that aspect of what you are talking about at the beginning, the insecurities, that sense of self doubt, that feeling of being overwhelmed at certain moments of crisis. this was an example of that kind of thing. this is macarthur realizing that what he has just done could end his career, but also a feeling that this is a situation in which, although he

roosevelt comes in with further cuts. the theme you are describing unfolding is roosevelt, the secretary of war and macarthur fighting it out over the implications of these budget cuts. with the u.s.d army be if these budget cuts for put into place? where did they come from, the quotes? >> a of that comes from his own account. >> i just vomited on the steps of the white house. >> this is very interesting. memorize -- memoirs he writes just before his death. for the first time for many people exposing that aspect of what you are talking about at the beginning, the insecurities, that sense of self doubt, that feeling of being overwhelmed at certain moments of crisis. this was an example of that kind of thing. this is macarthur realizing that what he has just done could end feelinger, but also a that this is a situation in which, although he had to speak out, he had to take a strong position, this was one which was not a position of strength that was in fact a position of weakness. there is no doubt that macarthur knows what

changes why on our roosevelt? >> human rights. one of the big changes in the way that america operates in the 21stt century as contrasted to the founders is that the founders advise against foreign entanglement. take advantage of god's gift of natural barriers. come along in the post-world war ii moment not only advocating for the us to get involved with this united nations but also advocating something called the universal declaration of human rights. the kind of rightly celebrate, individual protection an individual entitlement that go beyond government are not just american ideas but ideas that we should promote, advocate, celebrate to the world. and so i cite the example in the book of when the bulk of our own bad guys kidnapped all those young women and took them off and how that starts an internet sensation among young people. again, that is an exerciseidea t in the kind of values that we have in our culture today and the idea that we think we have every right to say to the world, this is the way you treat people, the value

a woman is hit by a van and sent hundreds of feet down the roosevelt boulevard. on for the driver we're live in the scene with what witnesses saw happen and what police found at the crash tight. >>> terror in orl. we're learning more details about the man accuse of shooting and killing dozens inside a nightclub, including his connection to our area. >>> plus, this -- >> we have to move forward and find a way to keep their hearts beating and keep our spirit alive. >> an nbc news exclusive. ware hearing from the owner of that nightclub in orlando. we'll tell you why her message to the victim's families and her special connection to that club. good morning and welcome to "nbc 10 news today." i'm vai sikahema. >> i'm tracy davidson. 5:00 a.m., 66 degrees outside. let's begin with meteorologist bill henley in the first alert weather center. we'll get lots of sunshine today, bill. >> we will. once the clouds come out. you can see the clouds over the comcast center. no rain with the clouds. they'll be blowing out of here with the same northwesterly winds we had yesterda

roosevelt was already in.rchill was in and sitting at the table and i had no idea when stalin is coming. i had an urgent errand. i was rushing. i saw that the military standing at attention. i said, why should they stand at attention? and the door was open. and i rushed in to somebody's shoulder and i really pushed hard and to my amazement i saw it was the ranking officer was the highest in the country. >> zoya literally just run into josef stalin. >> i said to myself, now they're going to shoot me. so i will tell you, i was so frightened. the first feeling you had you were disappointed by his physical features. he was short. he was fragile. he had a lot of smallpox marks on his face. >> in teheran, he asked roosevelt for more supplies to fight the war. ships were moving car gunshot go and aircraft flying over the alaska. >> syria route. >> we're sending in massive amounts of material. >> the soviets received more material. >> at the closing dinner of the conference, stalin toasted the american aircraft and th

president roosevelt's third vice president, harry truman, had limited contact with president roosevelt during the 82 days of president truman's vice presidency. in fact, president truman was not told about the manhattan project until some days after he succeeded president roosevelt, when one of his advisors took him aside and said, "mr. president, i think there is something you need to know about." the changes in american government and politics associated with the new deal and world war ii ended up having an effect on the vice presidency. they strengthened the presidency. they weakened the political party. they had the effect of pulling the vice presidency into the executive branch. as expectations of the presidency increased in the nuclear age and cold war, as the president was expected to conduct a more robust foreign policy, and as technology made foreign travel more possible, vice presidents began to be sent on diplomatic missions. they began to take on other tasks in the executive branch. beginning in 1940, the president got the power to designate who his running mate would be at

therefore roosevelt had more flexibility. ultimately, san francisco would back away from its segregation of japanese, but not before san francisco had done enormous damage to u.s.-japanese relations. in 1900, the united states agrees to something called a gentleman's agreement, in which japan promises to limit exit visas to the united states. this works for a time but the , japanese immigration rises again. 1908, there is another agreement. japanese immigration goes down a little and then goes back. in 1924, the united states eliminates all japanese immigration in the immigration act of 1924. in the early 1900s, the united states was enormously popular in japan. japanese admire the u.s., they saw the united states as their friend and americans were considered friends of the japanese after the san francisco earthquake. japanese earthquake specialists who knew a lot more about them than californians came to help san francisco dig out. by 1921 and especially after 1924, the united states was seen as an enemy of japan. in part be

of one of the most gifted men elected to the presidency, i president garfield and house theodore roosevelt and his presidency so she is good about narratives of famous individuals and in this case she tells the story that a new had happened but didn't know it was so dramatic that winston churchill always believed he was destined to be prime minister of england had a think tank of his own greatness so he tried to put itself in danger in india as a war correspondent and then went to south africa were the war just erupted he was a correspondent but he volunteered to go in an armored train the trainer was attacked and he was captured put in a prison camp and they made great propaganda value out of this but he escapes by himself to make his way across 300 miles of enemy territory with a chocolate bar and a few coins but then gets to neutral territory comes back and fights battles and then is freed from where he is held captive. >> one of the most gifted narrative historians writing today and the third book is a two-time finalist for franklin roosevelt is a very single moment was during the kore

and so in teddy roosevelt tough guy fashion, he goes out and gives the speech anyway. and one of the first things he says is i've just been shot and kind of shows the audience, but then gives this long speech and then goes to the hospital. the person who assassinated him tracked him down and was coming, stayed at a hotel a few blocks away from the ryman. in 1912 teddy roosevelt had been to memphis, chattanooga, knoxville and was supposed to come to nashville. but an anti-teddy roosevelt group had booked the ryman, and only 200 people showed up. and so this assassin was down the street thinking that the president would be here. and probably the reason teddy roosevelt didn't come to nashville is because this other group had booked the ryman. and only 200 people showed up including a congressman, but that kept teddy roosevelt from nashville. and when they caught the assassin in milwaukee after they shot him, the plans that he had to shoot teddy roosevelt and follow him around were on the back of the hotel stationery from nashville, tennessee, two blocks from the ryman. th

roosevelt group booked the ryman.nly 200 people showed up. this assassin was down the street thinking the president would be here and probably the reason teddy roosevelt did not come to nashville is another group booked the ryman. 200 people showed up including a congressman but that kept teddy roosevelt from nashville. when they caught the assassin in milwaukee after they shot him, the plans to shoot teddy roosevelt and follow him around in the back of the hotel stationary from nashville, tennessee and the ryman. the ryman auditorium played a key point, passing the 19th amendment that gave 27 million women the right to vote, tennessee was the last to ratify on august 18, 1920. susan b anthony spoke in this building in 1897 when tennessee was celebrating, the exposition. that was the first time women were able to hear from this national leader to get involved in the movement. 1914, tennessee had the first women suffrage parade in the south. and susan b anthony started. and many people in the conventions, and the fall

franklin roosevelt and barack obama. that's it. wow, ooh. not jack kennedy, not harry truman, not bill clinton, none of them. ok? obama is not as bad as we thought. that's actually pretty impressive. but the democrats have won popular votes -- not always majorities -- at least five of the last six presidential elections. if they prevail again and go forward, and the republicans do not rethink their formula, then they are going to be the minority for a while. ok? that is the present. -- that is the presidency. how does that interact with the court, whose justices that are picked politically but have life tenure? do not have to leave if they do not want to. well, there are special moments when new, rising presidents confront the ghost of administrations past in the form of these hold over justices that have been appointed by the other party, the party you ran against, you know? presidents are change agents. they are promising a new thing. the few that succeed -- the jeffersons, the lincolns, the fdr's, the obamas are going to confront a judici

president roosevelt used henry wallace and made him the head of the board of economic warfare duringorld war ii. ran into controversy with members of the cabinet and was soon dropped from the 1944 ticket. president roosevelt's third vice president, harry truman, had the limited contact with president during his vice presidency. president truman was not told about the manhattan project until some days after he had succeeded president roosevelt when one of his advisers took him aside and said i think there's something you need to know about. the changes in american government and politics were associated with the new deal and world war ii. up having an effect on the vice presidency and weakened the political parties and had the effect of cooling the vice presidency into the executive branch as the expectations increased in a nuclear age and in the cold war, the president was expected to conduct a more robust foreign policy and it made foreign travel more possible. the vice presidents began to be sent on diplomatic missions. to take on other tasks in the executive ranch. beginning in 19

. >> the search is on for the driver who hit and killed a woman on the roosevelt boulevard and just fledhe scene. >> we are learning more about how a florida nightclub went from party to panic and the victims who lost their lives. >> but first up we're going to head outside to dave murphy who says this could be the best of the run of some really good days and karen rogers is taking a look at your traffic. good morning. >> well, it feels cool and comfortable here on the terrace this morning. just a slight breeze. the breeze is generally not quite as strong through today as they were the last couple of days. and you can see some additional cloud cover and i see evidence of that over the terrace here but the clouds are high and thin enough where we should get austenite amount of sunshin -- decent amount of sunshine. upper 50's in allentown and reading. kind of cool and refreshing. of course it's not going to stay cool as we'll get warm again this afternoon. by 7:00, 63 degrees. by 10 o'clock 68 degrees for those of you planning a workout over the next hour or to two and then 72 degrees by n

would you rather quote herbert hoover or franklin delano roosevelt? [applause] would you rather quote richard nixon or john fitzgerald kennedy? [applause] the republicans have always been the party of privilege, but this year their leaders have gone even further. in their platform, they have repudiated the best traditions of their own party. where is the conscience of lincoln in the party of lincoln? what's become of their traditional republican commitment to fiscal responsibility? what's happened to their commitment to a safe and sane arms control? now, i don't claim perfection for the democratic party. i don't claim that every decision that we have made has been right or popular; certainly, they've not all been easy. but i will say this: we've been tested under fire. we've neither ducked nor hidden, and we've tackled the great central issues of our time, the historic challenges of peace and energy, which have been ignored for years. we've made tough decisions, and we've taken the heat for them. we've made mistakes, and we've learned from them. but w

this time hoover and roosevelt took steps to fix the depression. it got much worse and got much worse. >> two years later we had the revenue act passed which doubled the income tax. it raised the top rate by more than a doubling. when franklin roosevelt came into office the new deal interventions came in. by the end of his first term franklin roosevelt doubled spending. in the midst of it all you had roosevelt constantly attacking people of end prize calling them economic royalists. john: on colleges everybody believes fdr saved us. >> it's so false. the depression was still with us on the eve of world war ii. we didn't get a recovery until after world war ii. john: the next myth. profit is evil. >> profit is the measure of success accepts. it's the fertilizer that quickens the imagination of men and women in a free marketplace. a depression is an economy without profit. >> a couple more myths. jesus was socialist. >> jesus himself was after he broached and this is recorded in the book of luke by a man who wanted him to redistwri tbiewt wealth. he

portrait, teddy roosevelt?enator mcconnell: well, roosevelt was the most interesting person of whoever held the presidency. the only president who wrote books and made money off of writing books and who was a big , game hunter, fearless. he threatened -- i mean, he took enormous chances throughout his life both as a young man going out west after losing his wife and his mother on the same day and hunting. you know, battling the terrain and weather and all the rest. down to after his final run for the presidency in 1912, which he lost in a three-way race that he precipitated by taking on his former friend and colleague, william howard taft. he literally took off and went to south america and went down the amazon in an extremely dangerous trek down the amazon. picked up a lot of exotic diseases, which probably led to his not living passed the age of 60. he had all kinds of health problems after he got back from the trip down the amazon. so clearly our most interesting , president ever and happened to be a republi
