fdr idolized teddy roosevelt and you know mirrored his career like teddy roosevelt. he ran for a state legislature like teddy roosevelt. he was assistant secretary of late the navy like teddy roosevelt, you know, governor of new york and then of course the idea of being a wartime president, you know, he had studied at the office fdr had studied teddy, you know feelings about, you know, creating the great white navy projecting american force overseas. so teddy roosevelt was a tremendous influence on him, although politically, you know, teddy roosevelt was was the colonialist, you know, he tried to expand the american empire and fdr felt very strongly that all those colonies needed to be freed. and i want to remind folks they can put their questions in the chat. i've got a couple we've got some here that are queued up and want to welcome folks from around the country fdr lovers from from coast to coast as you can imagine that's far away from california. we've got omaha, nebraska houston palm beach, which it's a little chilly and desi today. i'd like to be in palm beach

ann roosevelt is the chair of the roosevelt institute board. her cousin, nancy roosevelt ireland is the chair of the library trustees. there are at least eight or nine other family members directly involved either with the roosevelt institute or the library. the next generation, we have several great grandchildren who are now involved. so it's been a consistent sort of relationship. in the early days the family members were not directly involved in the management of either the property or the library. but they have remained connected to us. and, you know, their support is very important. >> you mentioned towards the beginning about fdr's extramarital affair, but didn't really talk about relationships that eleanor had, and how that might have impacted their relationship. can you sort of talk about that, give us a little context for that? >> sure. there's -- this is one of those areas where people have to decide for themselves. there's no evidence that supports that eleanor roosevelt ever had extramarital sexual relationships with anyone. we know

roosevelt side. and this is eleanor roosevelt in her wedding dress, and she was given away by her uncle teddy roosevelt who happened to be president of the united states at the time her mother and father both died when she was young a child and so she became sort of teddy roosevelt's surrogate daughter and part of this big roosevelt family next slide, please. now frankly that eleanor has seen each other and family events while they were growing up, but as he was graduating from harvard, he really sort of fell for her and this is 1905. this is right after the wedding and as you can see, you know, they were a handsome couple and they were the melding of two branches of this family and as theodore roosevelt famously said to eleanor is good. you're keeping the name in the family. and of course. their wedding was scheduled for march 17th, because her uncle teddy was going to be in new york for saint patrick's day because as his other daughter once commented on him teddy roosevelt liked to be the baby at e

and roosevelts are very much a part of that. >> eleanor roosevelt is often considered one of the mostluential first ladies in american history. how is eleanor's approached serving as first lady different from her predecessors? how did she shape the role of the modern first lady? >> eleanor roosevelt tops a list of first ladies. whenever you survey if historians, scientists, or if it's readers of good house speaking everybody puts eleanor roosevelt at the top. of course we have to remember that she was in there longer than anybody else. much longer. full 12 years. she was beginning the fourth term when flight franklin died. but she approached the job. she just enlarge that considerably. i must also say she she was juror there during a time of great tragedy, great depression, world war ii, so she had opportunities that perhaps other first ladies have not had. state helped write the platform in 1924, so she had a lot of contacts people who were telling her. this has to be done. let's do this. she was really what we would call activists before but she got a lot of courage. and i think som

that developed and the roosevelt's very much are a part of that. eleanor roosevelt is often considered one of the most influential first ladies in american history. how was eleanor's approach to serving his first lady different than her predecessors and how did she shape the role of the modern first lady? well eleanor roosevelt tops all list of first ladies whenever you survey if it's historians and political scientists or if it's readers of good housekeeping everybody puts eleanor roosevelt at the top. of course, we have to remember that she was in there longer than anybody else much longer 12 full 12 years, and she was beginning the fourth when franklin died. but she approached the job. she just enlarged it considerably. i should also say she was in there at a time of great. change and tragedy the great depression world war ii so she had opportunities that perhaps other first ladies had not had but she did what she had gotten interested in reform movements before remember. she had been a member of the consumers league of the women's trade union l

on the presidency herman eberhardt shows an nbc radio microphone from the franklin d roosevelt presidential library and museum where he's a supervisory curator. the microphone was used when fdr delivered his fireside chats. we'll learn why these talks were so effective in rallying a desperate nation during the great depression and we'll hear an excerpt from fdr's 1933 radio broadcast on the banking crisis the roosevelt library provided the video. well, i'm herman eberhardt supervisory museum curator at the franklin roosevelt presidential library and museum back again to talk about the stories connected to interesting objects in the museum collection. today we're going to be looking at an artifact that relates to one of fdr's greatest strengths his extraordinary talents as a communicator. and here is the object now it may be hard for a modern audience to recognize but this is a very early nbc radio microphone that dates from the 1930s. the microphone is quite large. it stands over 15 inches high and it's made of metal and very heavy notice the large base it needs to keep from tipping over. n

her roosevelt had begun a revolution in the public's relationship with the presidency. americans now felt comfortable communicating directly with their president many wrote to him in a conversational manner as if they were addressing a neighbor or a friend. and they thanked him for explaining public policy in such a clear and relatable way. this letter to fdr from a man in washington state is typical. my wife and i want to thank you for your radio talk this evening. he writes. while we don't know much about banking your talk made us feel we have a big brother in the white house that's going to do real things for all of us. it made us feel at last our president and us common people are able to get together directly. and here's another. short message from a citizen in maryland gets right to the point. he writes just a note to let you know that old man fear is on the run. your speech last night over the radio gave your audience a thrill. i admire your courage and frankness. this letter from a writer in chicago praises. the president's clear and concise way of talking. he w

of water in roosevelt's life. as a man stricken with polio as an adult roosevelt spent much of his life in soothing waters of springs and baths to ease his pain. the martin luther king jr. memorial dedicated in 2011 sits on the northwest corner of the tidal basin its location was specifically designed among the cherry trees which are generally in bloom each year on the anniversary of dr. king's death. the memorial design is drawn from a passage in his i have a dream speech in which he says out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. dr. king himself is depicted as that stone of hope emerging from the mountain of despair which sits behind him at the memorial and at the base of of the of that are a number of quotations from his speeches sermons and writings. one of the most famous or perhaps infamous incidents in the history of the tidal basin involved us congressman, wilbur mills chairman of house ways and means committee one night in october of 1974 car being driven erratically down independence avenue was pul

the door roosevelt was artie aware of him. they met and jacob rees said i knew in the moment i saw him, they merely formed a bond. they went about at night on these nightly raids so that riis could familiarize roosevelt with the neighborhood. he showed them some of the things that were happening in tenements and checked up on what policemen were doing. the issue of using police lodging houses as homeless shelters. riis had a personal reason for having a grudge about police lodging houses. when he was a young immigrant, he sometimes stayed overnight in these homeless shelters. he tells a story in his autobiography of a night when he was in particular despair where he had considered throwing himself into the east river and he was befriended by a stray dog. the dog was his buddy, his only friend. that night, he went to stay at a lodging house, they would not let the dog and the dog was waiting for him outside. as he slept, a precious golden locket that he had brought with him to america that had a picture of his beloved elizabeth

roosevelt himself is the only person in the picture not crying. how did riis meet theodore roosevelt? that is the story of his activism in new york city. we have we have here in our case on allies the basic story of the bromance between theodore roosevelt and jacob riis. they first met in 1894. the new administration was elected in new york city that was a reform administration under mayor william strong. it is often described as "the good government" movement. in that one administration, a lot of the social reforms riis had been recommending along with other people in his network of reform were manifested, including better sanitation. one of the things strong was famous for was appointing tenant asian engineers who created the white wings, who were sanitary workers that wore pristine white uniforms and paraded down fifth avenue as an army of sanitation. the issue roosevelt and riis worked on primarily was the closing of police lodging houses. the way they met was, mayor strong appointed theodore roosevelt as police commissioner during his adminis

she's my favorite first lady eleanor roosevelt, but i talk about eleanor roosevelt very often and she is a first lady that many people know a lot about so when patrick asked me to do this presentation, we thought about maybe talking about first ladies who aren't as well known as eleanor roosevelt and i would start to complicate these four categories. and begin to discuss how it's really not terribly historically accurate to place any one first lady in one category the celebrity the controversial the reluctant or the political that most first ladies were a combination of several of these characteristics. so i want to look specifically at three first ladies who lived in very different periods in us history and talk about the quality of their years as first lady and discuss ways in which they crossed these categorical boundaries. so the first of these first ladies is an early republic first lady that i would like to talk about a little bit and that's darling madison here. she is in a photograph taken very late in her life. she's one of our first first ladies to be photographed although s

president roosevelt made it clear that the u.s. would not send supplies through the red sea as long as those supplies could be interfered with by italian forces. the more interesting thing to me in this. is what is happening with french forces. on the extreme right of this map, he see a french flag with a fascist symbol inside of it. this is the symbol of the vichy government, the french colony of what is today djibouti which stayed loyal. the two french colonies to the west were part of the second -- those are the first two major parts of the french empire to declare loyalty to charles bacall, a story that in and of itself is fascinating. the question here becomes, what to do with a mix of pieces on the board and how to make them come together. there is a meeting in today's sudan attended by, among others, jan smut south african strategist from rural one and two -- world war i and world war ii. try to understand this is one large theater. what they decide to do is to -- it's something i like to talk about, you can hear my dog in t

franklin roosevelt and the -- his college leagues really were visionaries. they saw social security -- they thought but proposing universal health insurance, they looked at paid sick leave, they definedded social security -- today we define it as important at is it as the old age survivor's disability insurance program but they saw social security as basic economic security, that you need a good education, healthy childhood, need a good paying job, need guaranteed job, unemployment insurance and so forth. but they also knew that this was such an important endeavor that was really the first time the united states had really undertaken something so broad that they really wanted to start out slowly, carefully, make sure it was a success and build on it and every generation has built on it and now it's our turn. >> so, when we talk about the phrase, as you do in the book, social security and you both mention that it has a specific meaning, to most people i would say in the country today and that's exactly what you just described now, it's kind of insurance for o

in president johnson's case he chose george washington, andrew jackson and his hero, franklin roosevelt. he's very much a product of the new deal and was a protege, in many respects, of franklin roosevelt who saw the potential in young lyndon johnson. when johnson became president it was his hope that he would finish the new deal, that he would finish with his great society what president roosevelt started with the new deal and one of the things that fdr left unaddressed in his presidency was civil rights. i think that ultimately president johnson will be remembered as the civil rights president for having signed into law the civil rights act of 1964 which broke the back of jim crow and our separate, but equal laws throughout the south. the voting rights act of 1965, which gave all americans unimpeded access to the ballot box and the fair housing act of 1968, which allowed for fair housing for all americans. that's a principal legacy of lyndon johnson. ♪♪ ♪♪ >> ohio congressman bob latta talks about the newly released republican broad band plan, that's today from the free state foundati

president roosevelt's third vice president harry truman had very limited contact with president roosevelting the 82 days of president truman's vice presidency. and in fact, president truman wasn't told about the manhattan project until some days after he had succeeded president roosevelt when one of his advisers took him aside and said, mr. president, i think there is something you need to know about. well, the changes in american government in politics that were associated with the new deal and with world war ii, ended up having an effect on the vice presidency. they strengthened the presidency, they weakened the political parties, and they had the effect of pulling the vice presidency into the executive branch. as the expectations of the presidency increases in a nuclear age and in the 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 really to

it's still closed between roosevelt and maple.your alternate is one block to the west it's a much smaller roadway, allow yourself some extra time if you have to reroute and go slowly through the neighborhood. el camino is closed right there for that one section. palo alto 101 reopened no problems, no slowing there after the disabled rig cleared from san antonio. there's slowing here the top number down the east shore freeway jammed up down berkeley basically out of richmond and in toward the berkeley curve, a disabled vehicle or crash at powell, that slowed things down here that held folks up and kept them away from the bay bridge toll plaza a backup that's forming but not as heavy as we see some folks again slowing through berkeley holding up over there. that's a benefit actually from what we typically see at the been been. if that's confusing i'm sorry. let me take to you what i'm seeing online today, this is also confusing, the history of the fortune cookie. that's about the heritage conversation starter. find out about gary an

>> teddy roosevelt was a maverick. and what i loved about him was he came from money, he respected capitalism, but he realized when things were out of sync. and he wrote trode that anti-trust force right into the white house. and i think if he could see today, it would horrify him. and all that got us through the guilded age, and as well as president wilson and many other, and senator sherman and eveything they did to get us through, that it's come back again. and you just got to go to the basics, and teddy roosevelt was a republican president and teddy sherman was a republican senator, there has always been this belief in economic liberty. that's why our earliest settlers came from england, for religious freedom and for political freedom and for economic freedom. they didn't want to buy their tea from a monopoly tea company. so when you believe in that, you see today's world reflected in that lens of history, and you see, we cannot let this keep going. we know it as one of a very famous former minnesota senator once s

so you can see here all three of those portraits completed by schumatof the portrait of roosevelt seen on the left was painted from her memory, which is incredibly impressive and the paintings of the johnsons were completed through in-person sittings at the white house and at their ranch in texas next slide. now greta kempton whose photograph you saw earlier was born in austria in 1903 and she began painting at a young age as so many women painters that i'll talk about today did. after she moved to the united states in the 1920s kempton became an art student in new york. and soon after she made a name for herself by painting the portraits of several prominent individuals including the trumans. so in 1947 president harry s truman commissioned his presidential portrait from kempton and for the rest of her career, she served as sort of a court painter creating paintings and portraits for harry truman best truman and their daughter margaret. she even turned down offers to paint other us presidents out of loyalty to the truman family in particular kemptons likeness of truman, which you can

president johnson chose george washington, andrew jackson and his hero, franklin roosevelt, very muchf the new deal and a protÉgÉ in many respects, he saw great potential in young lyndon johnson. when johnson became president, it was his hope he finished the new deal, finished with his great society what president roosevelt started with the new deal. one of the things fdr left unaddressed his presidency was civil rights. ultimately president johnson will be remembered as civil rights president. it broke the back of jim crow sequels throughout the south. act of 1965 which gave all americans access to the ballot box in fair housing act of 1968 which allowed for housing for all americans. that's civil rights legislation and the principal legacy lyndon johnson. >> coming up today, president biden and south korea president held a news conference of the white house plus live coverage 5:00 p.m. eastern on c-span. online at c-span.org or listen live on the frequency span radial up. >> saturday on the communicators, we talk about cancel culture medications. >> my concern here is that there is

i discovered my research that eleanor roosevelt could have worn her against this because eleanor roosevelt also bought an expensive set of china during the great depression and unlike nancy's which was privately funded eleanor roosevelt paid for it with taxpayer money and ended up having to have a big news conference to explain that her new china was actually putting people to work in the great depression. so, so the other thing nancy reagan does is she. does something that's very common in hollywood but forbidden in politics, which is that? she borrows designer clothes very expensive clothes jewelry and doesn't always return them and also doesn't report them as gifts and ultimately this would create a gigantic tax headache for the reagan's who the irs launches an investigation at the end of his presidency and and tells them they've got three million dollars worth. unreported gifts here. so you report that at the end of 1981 their first year in the widest and the white house say the she had the lowest approval rating of any modern first lady. what did she do to turn that around? um one one

let' take you to the map closed between maple and roosevelt so you'll have to take adams or main street which will kind of cut you a corner there as well through the area, those are the notes that i have right now as we're looking at this and of course we'll follow that on the peninsula. the rest of the bay are scattered incidents, nothing major on the freeways, kari. i'll sort out the big ones if we have any in the next report. over to you. >> all right, mike. we've been watching out for this high fire danger, the reason why we are in this microclimate weather alert, all of these areas shaded in red continuing in that red flag warning which means that the brush is very dry. we will have some high winds again today, and low humidity, so any fires that could get going could spread rapidly with these conditions continuing, so we do have to be really careful again today as well as tomorrow as our winds pick up. we have this dry northerly wind, and for the most part of the morning it will be about 10 to 15 miles per hour, getting stronger later today and for more on that, let's head over to

and theodore roosevelt, who really didn't want to be vice president, and said he would rather be just about anything that vice president, and it was too little work for a man of only 42 years old, he thought he might spend his vice presidency going to law school. in the 19th century and up until the first third of the 20th century, the presidential candidate did not choose his running mate. the conventions chose the running mate. they often generally chose the running mate in order to balance the ticket. either on ideological grounds, or geographical grounds, sometimes you would have presidential candidates and vice presidential candidates who disagreed or were on opposite sides of major issues of the day. sometimes the vice presidency was used as part of a deal to secure the presidential nomination for a candidate. sometimes a politician from the swing state, was chosen as the vice presidential candidate. between 1904 and 1916 there were eight vice presidential candidates, five of them were from the state of indiana. oftentimes the vice presidential candidate in the 19th century were

>> teddy roosevelt was a maverick. what i loved about him is that he came from money, he respected capitalism but he realized where things were out of sync. i think what he would see today would horrify him. all of the work to get us through that today as well as president wilson and many others and senator sherman, everything they did to get us through that it has come back again. and you just got to go to the basics to understand this, teddy roosevelt was not against capitalism. he was a republican president, sherman was a republican senator. there is always this belief in economic liberty. thereat is why our earliest settlers came from england for religious freedom, political freedom and economic freedom. they don't want to buy their tea from a monopoly tea company. we know this. as a famous minnesota senator said, if you don't write history someone else will write it for us. right now the tech companies are writing our history. you see it in the insurrection, you see it in the misinformation about the vaccine. and

post war had been growing from really the moment that that roosevelt and churchill and stalin got together at yalta to discuss the post-war world. but this is the period 75 years ago when the what would become the cold war policy foreign policy of the west really began to take shape and as you'll hear tonight with our panelists? it was like so many moments in that world war ii period it was the rhetorical genius of winston churchill that really crystallized the idea and the reality for the western world. churchill's speech as well here was not immediately popular either in the us or in in western europe. and yet the force of his analysis and the the magic of his words of his rhetoric once again carried the day i grew up like many of you hearing the words iron curtain all the time as a as an ordinary matter of conversation. it was on the evening news. it was in our classrooms and it was in casual conversation. but it was winston churchill in the little town of fulton, missouri in march 1946 who created that image with his famous line from -- in the baltic to trieste the adriatic and iron cu
