there are even roosevelt roosevelts which is their name for the roosevelts who married other rooseveltsand they had their own social circle. and so they were very compelling, interesting people. and so they were very compelling, interesting people. it was a fascinating time in america, it was a not unfamiliar to those of us now, a life or death struggle for the nature of america, what kind of country we were going to be, what kind of country we thought we were. - we thought we were in chaos then, right? - we thought we were in chaos then, right? stipulated. - stipulated and then i will also say we have not yet had a scene of the president of the united states ordering the united states army to fire on army veterans on the national mall and set fire to the encampment that they had set up for 17,000 army veterans. so we haven't had that yet. - yet. just pointing out. - hasn't happened yet. what time is it? we've been here before. we've been here before. - the work that had been done on the roosevelts again, biographers doris goodwin-- everybody. everybody that has written about the roosev

and making it possible and roosevelt has questions about him. and roosevelt goes home to tell the journalist he will do okay but he is weak. and then of course i'm over this unexpected series of events all of american history. >> there is something missing particularly about declining twice to go on the supreme court the thing he wanted most in life to come to him at a fairly young age and he declines twice and said he was enjoying the popularity of the government of the philippines that he says repeatedly and you quote him to say i would never want to play a popular part unlike tr who cater to the public and to rally the troops that then trigger twice the appointment in the philippines? >> you are right in that quotation is central it will not bend to popularity to faithfully serve roosevelt and taft and in the memoirs it is a prophetic account and that idea that the president should never seek popularity and that was the essence of taft so why did he accept the seat? i thank you are right maybe it is nelly's desire he be president and maybe he

and teddy roosevelt is a bigger man than the party and we support teddy roosevelt. host: that changed over the years. why? >> a couple of things happened. one thing that happened was, the people who ran "puck" died, and somebody else took over "puck," and they were true blue democrats, so they stopped supporting today di roosevelt. -- stopped supporting teddy roosevelt. in puck's view, teddy got too big for his britches and this is a very interesting cartoon because this was published in 1907 and it's like the earlier one we saw about grant going for a third term. roosevelt was toying with the idea of running for a third term, and puck thought that that was really a violation of the constitution even though the constitution didn't specifically say so, and puck thought that roosevelt was running roughshod over the constitution, and look at how muscular and robust roosevelt is portrayed. but, if you remember, the giant in jack in the beanstalk didn't do so well and puck is predicting that even though roosevelt is huge and powerful that the constitution will prevail an

roosevelt becomes president. how did joseph keppler depict president roosevelt? >> at first they left him. he was a republican with democratic the is. he was against the trust, he had a lot of integrity. he did not appear to be a hypocrite. at the beginning, they thought, we do not like the republican party, but we love teddy roosevelt. and teddy roosevelt was a bigger man than the party. and wiese of -- support teddy roosevelt. >> that changed over the years? >> a couple of things happened. one thing was the people who ran puck died, and somebody else took over. they were two democrats. they stopped supporting teddy roosevelt. and then, in puck's view, teddy got too big for his britches. this was published in 1907, despite the earlier one that you saw about running for a third term, roosevelt was toying for the ike -- with the idea of running for a third term. puck thought that was a violation of the constitution. even though the constitution does not specify. puck thought that roosevelt was running a roughshod over the constitution. look how road -- robust roos

what do i do ask roosevelt -- what do i do, ask roosevelt. this you have to pay me back? want $15, i want my garden hose back after the fire is over. who could disagree with logic such as this? andu.s. is leading the hose the water to doubt the fire, and that water was a difficult thing to return, but that is neither here nor there. they suggested that the resonators saying. at the time, roosevelt used roosevelt -- wilson as a foil to demonstrate how things had changed from then till now. how wrong had his predecessor been demanding neutrality from his fellow americans. frenchng the british and declarations of war on germany in 1939, fdr noted that even a neutral cannot be asked to close his mind or his conscience. was a pointed repudiation of president wilson's 1914 remark, that americans must "be impartial in thought as well as action." from a very early stage, fdr expressed no equivocation on inch party was at fault willing that european crisis. finally, fdr was acutely aware of wilson's failure to recruit republicans, and the dire consequences that followed. you trave

he was much more of an interventionist and roosevelt -- than roosevelt. from this buckley, and the other conservatives, there was a hidden majority of americans who would respond to the conservative message if they were given a choice between the tweedledum of the democratic party and the tweedledee of the republican party. not just ad it was republican establishment, not just fdr, it was the liberal establishment at large. he never chose to specifically defined that because it was useful not to define it. he really meant you leads in both parties, elites more generally. the big metropolitan newspaper, the media, the radio stations, the universities, the big protestant now mission. any kind of organization -- protestant dalmatian, any kind of organization like that. afc is aof the reflection of jew haters and and as buckleys, would see it, comes from that. time magazine kept attacking charles bloomberg during the war itself which provoked the young buckley to write not just a letter for anti-americanism but, to report the times to the fbi in the hope they

roosevelt did not know where was going to come from.did know the japanese were under great pressure. in part because of an american oil embargo. the japanese attack on pearl harbor solved a great number of problems for roosevelt. there was only one problem left. it was the japanese who had attacked and not the germans. how does roosevelt bring us into the war against germany? he did not have to think about for more than two days. hitler, for reasons which are not well understood, declared war on the united states. that solved roosevelt strategic problem and churchill's as well. brian: how do you learn? what has been your system? john: both by reading and teaching and reading more and teaching more. if that makes sense. i don't think you really know what you have read well until you have tried to teach it to a group of young people. i think as you teach to a group of young people, you realize there are things you still don't know enough about to teach credibly, and that drives you back to additional reading. the intersection of reading a

roosevelt wouldn't allow it. this was too much fun. on receiving the latest batch of cables and rumors fdr was heard to tell military aide and buddy, i guess we gave them the good this time. although he had told churchill about the trip in advance, fdr had also given the prime minister the slip by cutting 10 days off the window of tuned for churchill to meet with him in advance of quadrant and try to influence him and that well may be why to the relief of jcs, the white house took the plan of the fishing trip off the shelf where it sat for a year activated on very short notice. fdr's absence from the city also left sir john anderson with no one to talk to about -- about atomic cooperation except for bush, roosevelt's science adviser and fdr knew that bush would hold a hard line, so the president gone, secretary simpson started writing toys trip report with his emphatic recommendations to fdr to take charge of this and in that, he warn fdr to be constantly on the alert for mediterranean diversions. stenson wanted to take report personal

president roosevelt did not want to appease. roosevelt wanted to fight.he last thing that fdr needed was an appeaser as ambassador to great britain. >> i'll have nothing to say till i see the president. >> so he was finished. >> get it? >> joseph kennedy goes from being a legitimate power broker in the united states and a player in international politics to being a pariah. >> when he crashed and burned as ambassador to great britain, that not only cost him his job. it cost him his notion that he could become president. and almost from the moment that he realized that he couldn't do it, the aspiration was his kids would do it. >> joseph passes his ambitions on to joe jr. kathleen, known as kick, and jack. he calls them his golden trio. >> his eldest son, joe jr., was not only handsome, but also athletically gifted. he was the heir apparent. joe jr.'s father and mother believed that he would be the one to carry the standard for the family. >> his younger son, jack, is overshadowed by joe jr. in his father's mind, but i think having a bit lower expectation g

this book tells the little-known story of john, a lawyer who persuade president roosevelt to organize the refugee board in 1944. their work involved forging identity papers, recruiting spies, leaking it news and channeling food and money to underground organizations. in 20 months the board saved tens of thousands of lives. lynn olson, author of the book last island, says that with her magisterial research rebecca brilliantly brings to life the gripping little-known story of this transformative moment in american history and persuading government lawyers who made this happen. the fine work of scholarly detection turning up a story that deserves to meet much better known. ladies and gentlemen, rebecca erbelding. [applause] >> thank you so much. first of all, i'm incredibly excited to be here. i've been working on this project for about a decade in the first caveat is when i talk about it is this is not a book that is a product of the holocaust museum work. it's my work. for the decade of been working here i come here and look at the moment when my book will be on the shelves. this is a

roosevelt had made it kind of clear who he was for. but it produced kind of a mixed reaction because there were a lot of people in that caucus that thought the president shouldn't dictate who the leader of the senate ought to be. so one week after they went down to the funeral, came back, they had been politicking the whole time. politics makes a vacuum. those in my line of work, if you want to see active politicking going on, go to a funeral. because there will always be maneuvering going on who will be the successor. they voted -- they dropped their ballots into a panama hat owned by senator carter glass of virginia. the senate democrats were trying to ensure the secret ballot by using a glass hat. as i said, barkley won the election by a single vote but there was unease about it because a lot of people resented the fact that roosevelt got involved in the election. and so it made it somewhat difficult for barkley to get started. that's because a lot of members of the democratic caucus just didn't feel that he had enough independence.

this shows president roosevelt at the white house, the u.s. capitol, the brooklyn bridge, and the puck building. what does this represent? roosevelt in the beginning, then decided he was too big for his britches. this cartoon was published the week after roosevelt won reelection. this is a shaking hands and making up cartoon. >> puck's political hunting ground. how he made a game of the politicians. >> this is right after the election of 1884. this is puck's idea of bragging. republican in the big-time opposition. a carcass.ding the head of the carcass is james blaine, who ran against cleveland. the dog on the left has a caller that says satire. puck is saying that satire slayed the republican party. this is the first time in many years the democrats won an election so puck was justifiably proud of himself. -- >> in the united states, yes. there were quite a few european magazines with similar art, large with a graphic cartoons. wasunited states, keppler revolutionary and lots of people followed him. in europe, not so much. rarely open a puck

john had been the speaker of the house and roosevelt made him vice president. so for eight years this guy who had been running the house had almost nothing to do. in fact, you may recall, the famous comment, garner said about the vice presidency. he said it wasn't worth more then a pitcher of warm spit. but he and barkley were close. and so, to ensure barkley's plan was carried out, he and garner talked about which senators to recognize. and the order in which they should be recognized on the floor to speak. the arrangement reflected, as i said, the close relationship between garner and barkley. at the appointed time, however, one of the senators that barkley had slated to speak was slow to stand up and request recognition from vice president garner. when the senator failed to respond, up popped new york democratic senator robert wagner of new york who immediately offered anti-lynching legislation that in that era was total anathmata to democrats. -- two southern democrats. it put the senate into chaos. for the rest of the day barkley , lost control of the agen

his 1902 depiction of theodore roosevelt refusing to shoot a bear cub became so popular that the cartoon image ultimately spawned the teddy bear which was named in honor of our 26th president. barrybarryman brings together the two central actors in

achieved and the potential for the united nations has never been achieved but during world war two roosevelt had initially a different approach. forty two here start to set in mala target a trusted general to washington and late may forty two and that's when roosevelt promised to open up the second front in europe before the end of one nine hundred forty two and it's also when roosevelt said what we need after the war is for policeman to the united states russia britain and china should get together and we should maintain world peace security stability and that was a vision that clearly was never put into effect but we need leaders now who are going to act a part back a little we have a deficit of leaders of the institutions under attack america is worse because there is a will from the west to twist the idea of the international structures not only you want but every kind of struck that you could be on to do it being. it could be anything i just want to make this is true which were created and i think it was a good thing just after the war to avoid future wars they want to use it as an inst

theodore roosevelt generally thought of himself as a gladiator against evil. he was taking a large risk by challenging the citadels of wealth and power. t.r. boasted that the farmers, mechanics, small tradesmen all considered him their president. roosevelt had always invade against the lies in the press as foul and dirty as ever was made by any dog, end quote. to me, president trump is carrying on the legacies of presidents jackson and theodore roosevelt. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from michigan seek recognition? >> permission to speak to the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> today, may 7, is my wife's birthday. may seem like a small thing to many, but it's hard to describe the sacrifice and commitment that it takes to be the spouse of someone that serves in government. the additional things she takes on when dad's not mom. the fun and games when the school calls. or the text message you get, where it you leave whatever i need to find it? mr. mitche

up the second front in europe before the end of the one nine hundred forty two and it's also when roosevelt said what we need after that war is for police but that the united states russia britain and china should get together and we should maintain world peace security stability and that was a vision that clearly was never put into effect but we need leaders now. now we're going to act a part of that kind of what we have a deficit of leaders in the institutions under attack markets worse because there is a will from the west to twist the idea of the international structures and not only us but every kind of struck to it you could be. it could be anything i just want to make this is true which we created and i think it was a good thing just after the war to avoid future wars they want to use it as an instrument. for input and that it's very dangerous what we have here is a sense of this many many times in this program really who are the term used in the west the international community what does it mean it means nato membership japan australia new zealand israel and some of the sponsor ok s

roosevelt. but half of them were. and roosevelt was a good polittician.ith h half ofof the businesses in his pocket, he knew he could count on the c.i.o., the socialists, and the communists to kind of work something out, and here was the deal. "i'm gonna get the money from the corporations and the rich. i'm gonna help you on a scale you've never seen before. and in return, you're gonna stop talking about getting rid of capitalism. you're gonna mute that part of your message. you're gonna celebrate me as the guy who gives the mass of people something they never got before." so, what did roosevelt do? three interesting things that i'll mention. one--he created the social security system. we never had that before. in the midst of a depression worse than today, when there's no money in the hands of the government--none is coming in; it's rereally hard; e can't do anything--the president goes on the radio and announces that every american over 65 years of age who's had a lififetime of work k is now ga get money from the g government for the rest of his or her

frank fran roosevelt saved america except for that. but we're kind of an "and yet" country. he we do something great, fight for freedom around the world, project force establish flirt other lands and yet we won't live into it fully here, and i think what we have to be about is, let's see if we can reduce the number of sevens sentences in the "and yet" paragraph. >> there is a school of thought that trump is an aberration. in november of 2016, and that he wasn't representative of where the -- where we're headed but he was moment in time. you believe that or you believe he is a signal of something that will come. >> it will inevitably recure because it's ady difficult world there are recurrent patterns, it cass called the paranoid style in american politics. race sim, self e sexism, selfishness and greeds are endemic to the human condition. the remarkable thing is we have by and large managed to do as well as we have. again, this is a white guy saying that so take it for what it's worth. but all in all, people would rather be here than not be here. die think trump is an aberra

vonnie: we will also be live at the roosevelt room where u.s.ident trump will sign repealing of the dodd frank act, some parts of that in just a moment and we will go live there. the 10 year yield is at 2.4%. been a big move but we are still talking levels below the united states. that's why i think the situation can deteriorate substantially. it depends very much on the behavior of the government. i can easily design a scenario which the government once in power starts behaving the proper way and starts doing the right things and stepping back from the promises. that could work. minutes.ve gone six can an unskilled politician juggle 67 balls at once? difficultpretty situation because it would have been more desirable to have one of the two leaders to run the country. then you get another problem. g-7 country run by a 31-year-old? conte looks like a moderate guy and sensible. maybe it will work. mark: there lots to talk about. stuff. wonderful let's check in on first word news. be aney: there will not summit next month between president trump an

, to bring glenn roosevelt to donald trump.n each case the american people rose up against the elite and in the case of jefferson was against the sedition acts and just in case it was bankamerica in lincoln's case it was slavery. today was a case it was [inaudible] and in reagan's case it was against the washington and i believe trump understood the way and the power has been drifting from the people and localities to big government and corporate america last 50 or 60 years. i think part of the frustration on the part of trump voters is that they feel their powers of slipping away to big corporations and big governments and they have less opportunity to determine their own destiny so this in trump understood this and tapped into it. that makes his election very, very important in the context of american history. >> with you from michael in fayette, alabama. good afternoon, michael. >> caller: i want to thank the panel for mentioning first of all politeness versus today's harshness in political discourse and i want to beg on bot

so the cartoon, it is published the week after roosevelt won reelection in 1904 and this is sort of a shaking hands and making up cartoons. >> we're going to come back to that in a moment. but the political hunting ground, how he made a game of the politician. this is 1885, and this is right after the election of 1884. this is puck's idea of bragging. in 1884, puck had quoted the democrat of cleveland and opposed the republican blame in big time oppositions. you could see puck is standing, and he is holding a carcass. you see the dog on the left, it's a satire. and what he's trying to do with the republican party, this is a big deal. this is the first time in many, many years that the democrats have won the election. so he was justifiably proud of himself. >> was owe receive kepler viewed as -- was joseph kepler viewed as revolutionary in this process? >> in the united states, yes. there are quite a few european magazines that had similar kinds of art, large demographic cartoons. in the united states, kepler was clearly revolutionary and lots of people followed him. but in europe, not

the united states we've only had one president who served four terms and that was franklin delano roosevelt who might be the greatest american president certainly grace american president of the twentieth century and there was some controversy about that it was after his fourth term that they put in the constitutional amendment to limit presidents to two terms but we were people were very happy to have franklin roosevelt served four terms specially during that time of crisis let's just listen in just for a moment to peter. ladies and gentleman that i did with you dear friends but if you . would you know welcome only a citizen so great country in our compatriots living abroad. watching or listening to this broadcast. who are present here in the halls of this and cathedral square. taking the office of president of russia i realized the tremendous responsibility. it lives on my shoulders and i responsibility to all of you who are multiethnic people couldn't you was in the way you did my responsibility to russia really great country and. you know thousands of years of history with to our ancest

and you said that teddy roosevelt was -- you were teddy roosevelt republican. i've heard you say it before. i appreciate it. teddy roosevelt is one of the people that i really look up to. what has made teddy roosevelt an icon is his ability to come into an area that was almost all wild and realize that it wouldn't always be that way unless he did things like set up parks, and so that vision is what, really, i think, sets teddy roosevelt apart from any other president that's served when it comes to our public lands, which brings me to the land/water conservation funds, a fund that's been fully funded twice since 1978 when it was first set up at $900 million, off of offshore oil. your budget puts in $8.1 million. from the questions that senator danes had just asked, your statement to him was is you didn't want to bring more land into the public lands domain because there's a maintenance problem. did i mishear you on that, or is that correct? is that why we're at 8.1 million? >> the land/water conservation act removes the proposed budget removes new acquisition. i

the real vernacular he mastered in the seam way franklin roosevelt mastered radio and kennedy reagan mastered television is reality tv production. he announces things. he builds suspense. he pits characters against each other announce iran nuclear deal at 2 p.m. tomorrow. you know, from his account -- you know, and you can hear the music coming almost. so you're fired -- [laughter] and i didn't i never watched the apprentice one of my many -- sure, go ahead. now eyebrow credentials to watch. now i'm living in it. [laughter] like all trapped in this endless loop like it was a horror movie. [laughter] so -- i think that he understands where a huge amount a of the country is culturally in a way that this zip code honestly probably does not. you asked a second about historical presence trump wants to be andrew jackson and not many do so that's -- ands he was coming down to the hermit the man actually he doesn't know much about jackson. i know that will shock you. [laughter] i -- i went to interview him in may of '16, and we were actually together that that morning, and i was -- went over

he said that teddy roosevelt you are teddy roosevelt republican. i appreciate it. teddy roosevelt someone i really looked up to. what has made him an icon it's his ability to come into an area that was a most all while and realize that it would not always be that way unless he did things like set of parks. that vision sets teddy roosevelt apart from just about any president that served when it comes to public lands. this brings me to the water conservation fund. $900 million of offshore oils. from the question that senator dangerous asked, your statement to him was that he did not want to bring more land into the public lands because there's a maintenance problem, did i miss hear you on matters that correct? >> the land water conservation act removes acquisitions. it does not remove properties that would come into conservation easements. it does prioritize what we have. love front as you know the budget is a proposal on this is where the two branches come together and discuss priorities. >> i appreciate that. the chairwoman talked about tara sweeney yesterday. here

reporter: teddy roosevelt got the nobel for ending the russo-japanese were. interesting choice. he was also the man who let the rough riders. the blurring of wardand peace ha ended there. george c. marshall was franklin roosevelt's army chief of staff before he won the nobel force for hislan to rebuild europe. away from the battlefield, not all picks have looked good in hindsight. myanm's aung san suu kyi seemed like a lock in 1991. she habeen living under house arrest by the military junta. but amid criticism over her handling of the rohingya crisis, some say she no longer deserves the award. perhaps one tops them all. >> for what he hopes will be the final phase of the negotiations to end the war in indochina. reporter: henry kissinger shared fothe prize in 1973 negotiating an armistice in the vietnar. nixon's right-hand man, historyh also kno for the secret bombings of cambodia and laos. sometimes the world is too violent for any peace prize winner. >> no nobel peace prize this year. why not? it is that man again. reporter: the nobel committee decidenot to award anyone during

and what we have to do is what theodore roosevelt called upon us to do is we had to embrace diversity, we had to open our arms more widely than clen itching our fists. but every era as you know is imperfect. theodore roosevelt who called for a melting pot, who called for a new kind of americanism also believed in la discredited genetic theory about white superiority. so i don't think we can roman taize size the fact. i think there is a tendency right new in many places for americans to see that everything before trump was somehow better. and ever since then we have descended into this uniquely dark place. my argument is not let's relax because we've been through this before, it's that let's get to work to figure out what it was about the constitutional and cultural inclinations of the past that got us through these dark moments before. and essentially the answer is a historically based realization that the free movement of idea, free movements of free trade, pure adam smith has been what's made us truly great. and if we want to make america great again, let's embrace that openness and
