we called this contributions to social security, and that is what they were called on the roosevelt administration. it only became the payroll tax deduction two years ago when the white house decided to use social security as a cash cow for economic stimulus. i think we should return the language and then you should describe it as contributions, which is what it was. >> did you vote last year when congress expanded -- extended this could >> i did. senator manchin and i did vote for this because we knew the economy was in free fall, and we were willing to do everything possible to help out, but we were told at the time that this was one year, that the trust fund would take a hit for only one year, and i think it was about $100 billion hit that seniors took. now, under political times, even when the one of claims the economy is growing, they want to have another 250 dollars billion party on the backs of social security. >> economists say this would shave off of gdp one percentage point. gdp is not expected to grow that much next year. >> i would argue actually that it did not. the economy is not in

and that was what they were called under the roosevelt administration. it only became the payroll tax deduction two years ago when the white house decided to use social security as a cash cow for economic stimulus. i think we should return the language and you should describe it as contributions to social security which is what it has been for 50 years. >> did you vote last year when congress extended the tax cuts last year and added in this new benefit? >> i did. senator mavenen and i both voted for this because we knew the economy was in free fall and we were willing to do everything possible to help out. but we were told at the time that this was a one year party, that the trust fund would take a hit for only one year and i think it was about a $100 billion hit that seniors took. now, under political times even when the white house claims that the economy is growing they want to have another $250 billion party on the backs of the social security trust fund. >> other economists have said that doing away with this tax benefit in 2012 would shave up to a

the country was actually in the third year of a roosevelt administration because his hand-picked successoram howard taft, and one of the anomalies in all of this, megyn, this president, apparently and his scissors from the sunday talk show hosts who had -- >> megyn: the apartment -- professor goodwin who suggested he should emulate teddy roosevelt and now he's making an announcement he's doing just that. >> i think that's a bully idea, as teddy would have said. the problem is, he didn't start three years ago. that would have been helpful. megyn: here's my question to you. the president is going to say the new theme will be everyone engage necessary fair play, everyo does their fair share, everyone gets a fair shot. when teddy roosevelt was president at the time, there wasn't income federal tax, there wasn't much of a regulatory scheme, today, it's a very different story. i know the occupy folks think it's unfair and so on but can he really make the same art about the rich not paying their fair share and so on when you've got the stat itsics about what -- statistics about what the rich are

years of the roosevelt administration.resident roosevelt was right at the height of his power. that opened up a place for a dark horse candidate to come outside the political spectrum. >> keep in mind the state of the republican party. it was a party defeated by roosevelt in 1932. he defeated herbert hoover and another. what were the republicans looking for and why was your grandfather the person they chose? >> and nobody else had run for a third term before, going back to the time of george washington. when washington stepped down, no one had even dreamed of running for a third term for the presidency. when roosevelt announced that he did, it changed the whole dynamic of what was out there. certainly looking at europe, world war ii, the nazis were going over to northern europe. it certainly opened up a time in which the republicans said, "what do we do?" >> herbert hoover was hoping the party would come back to him. u.s. senator thomas dewey of new york. u.s. senator taft from ohio -- mr. republican. this was a convention

the reason i mention all this by background is it's amazing that roosevelt may donovan his top spymaster in his administration, considering all the nasty things these two guys said about each other in new york. but fast-forward to 1940, 41. roosevelt is building the country up, telling the defenses up, preparing the nation for war. donovan, even though he is a conservative republican, he thought the new deal was a calm spot to take over america. nevertheless, he was a member of the internationalist wing of the republican party. he to believe that the nation needed to build itself up for war and the country needed to prepare for this down the road. in the summer of 1940, roosevelt since donovan on an informal diplomatic mission to england to answer but just one question. can britain survived the war? donovan is given access to the highest level of the british government, to naval intelligence, military intelligence over there, mi5, mi6 and all the war agencies. he comes back with bags full of documents, classified documents from great britain. and with an answer to the question that yes, britain could survive

stores so that antitrust law was important and you had activist people coming out of the roosevelt administration who remained in the positions of power who were very much opposed it was a lucrative area and was a fascinating intellectual area. he learned about in disputing on the subject matter involved the answer is yes it is necessarily bad at all so that was the basis of it and say baseball as you probably know was exempt from the antitrust statute major league baseball because of all for wendell holmes's decision was regarded as a form of entertainment and not as a business in the interstate commerce basically it is considered the worst opinion and survive forever on the committee those of you who are watching will know the name immanuel seller who is the chairman of the house judiciary committee and he loves to hold hearings on a monopoly practices. if you want to get reporters to come to a hearing on the monopoly practice what better subject than to talk about the baseball exhibition. so stevens had the opportunity as a staff member of that committee on the monopoly practices to question t

so, under the roosevelt administration, the democratic new deal congress passed regulation to make sure the banks couldn't do that. they couldn't take your deposit and then go play the stock market with it. those regulations were in place until the 1990s. they were repealed in the 1990s, and eight years later we have a financial crisis of 2008. now, it is impossible to prove the yawns the shadow of any doubt that one led to the other. as i say, business is causation in history and impossible to prove because you can't rerun the experiment with a different premise. but it certainly does seem suggestive that there was nothing like 1929 during the whole period of 1933 until the regulations were repealed. and then within just a few years after the repeal of the regulation along comes 2008 which is the worst financial crisis since 1929. so i guess you could make that point as well. >> i would add one thing. when we use the word regulation i think it is important to remember that regulation has not stopped. we have got this weird works trap when they do regulations that banks don't like it ca

and we knew that the roosevelt administration that the japanese had an extensive spy network going one united states. and this culminated in the memo that was given to the president by the office of naval intelligence on december 4th. and it outlines all those spy activities that were going on. in it, it suggests that they were looking closely at american military installations. within possible open conflict, is the exact phrase. with the united states either in the panama canal zone, the west coast or the hawaiian territory. >> do you think in looking back and you've done so much exhaustive research in the book here, craig, do you think that washington should have known? were there enough warning signs? there was a headline you pointed out in one of the newspapers, there was some warning of an attack that could take place on november 30th. should they have worked harder on american intelligence to figure this one out? >> i think they did everything they thought they could do. the real culprit was, as i wrote, it was a failure of imagination. neither roosevelt nor his cabinet nor his

under teddy roosevelt's administration in response to appalling food processing conditions described in upton sinclaire's "the jungle" congress passed the first comprehensive food safety regulation. 100 years later the reins act on the floor today would block even the most commonsense regulations. new standards to protect americans from deadly contamination of chinese and mexican imported foods. the reins act is a wordy piece of legislation for those among us who actually believes that chinese factory farms should ship contaminated, uninspected food to americans' dinner tables. roosevelt protect the grand canyon and thank god they did. when congress at that time refused to designate it as a national park. the reins act would prevent federal land management agencies from issuing regulations to protect america's greatest places from degradation from mining and offload vehicles. the reins act would also block regulations subsequent to the roosevelt administration including such landmarks bill as the clean air act, the clean water act, the occupational safety and health act, along with t

unemployment had recently dipped to about 10%, which is the lowest it had been during the administration of franklin roosevelt. they were not thinking about war, not in the context of american men and women getting involved in a war. world war i had left a very bad taste in americans mouth. the war to end all wars, the war to make the world safer, democracy had done just the opposite and given rise to very undemocratic institutions in italy, germany and other places. we were walled off we believe, to giant oceans, and after world war i it was a saying going around america that the only thing we got was debt and debt. so we were distinctly isolationists. in fact, neutrality acts have been passed in the 1930s, including one that prohibited american soldiers from leaving north america. that's how, and, of course, we passed of the restrictive trade acts. we were very inward looking, very un-interested in getting involved in european, and weren't thinking about war in the pacific. that's as of the eating of december 6 spent i think you also mentioned culture, cigarettes were everywhere. >> cigarettes were everywhe

public sector job creation, i think we saw that historicallically with franklin delano roosevelt, with that administratione saw some of that with the great society activity. that was actually moving the country out of a level of poverty or beyond anything that some people had ever imagined would happen. and so we still have hundreds of thousands of people with no work. we have seen a tremendous increase in technological advancement and development. i was at a hospital ribbon-cutting two days ago. and all of us were talking about how create the technology was. i went to a restaurant that same day and ran into a guy who worked in the hospital, and he said, yeah, all these robots are putting us out of work. [laughter] >> he say we can't find work to do. so retraining, reprogramming. and at the same time, i think we have to figure out a way to keep some of the resources, some of the money, from just simply flowing to too few people. and so we got to figure out a way to get some more money into the hands of the average middle class in the united states of america who are living and leaning and trying to make i

roosevelt not included. but starting with john kennedy there has not been an administration in office where some of us who holdin set of credentials within the black community, within the progressive movement, within where we reside that are not solicited or reached out to for opinions and points of view and when you look at the progressive forces in this country-- not just the radical left but anything to do with the left there are no players at the table on the left as i define the left in brab's inner circle. he doesn't have us. nobody speaks for our vision of the candidates. >>ose:f you could nominate someone, who would you nominate to be there. >> me. >> rose: you?

point that entitlements was first used by donna shalala in the jimmy carter administration to describe what franklin roosevelt much more smartly call the insurance. he called social security insurance because it kind of works that way. starting in the late 1970's, democrats started to call social security and medicare entitlements. it sounds like spoiled, greek seniors who feel entitled. -- greedy seniors who feel entitled. even abraham lincoln and the whigs called internal improvements and that sounds better than infrastructure. >> it is kind of a crime that we still call financial reform regulation dodd-frank. we tried to talk about president obama's healthcare accomplishments as the affordable care act rather than whatever the title it actually was. sometimes the words do matter. >> they always matter. they did ok calling of the affordable care act but everything before that was pretty horrible in terms of giving people a language to explain what this bill really did. i think there are many other examples. my favorite is the earned income tax credit. by the time you get from a earned income tax - everybody

channelling roosevelt or reagan or whoever speaks to the fact that for at least the last two years, nothing has been done with respect to job creation. you go back to the beginning of administration and his folks say let's focus on the job creation rather than health care that is so badly needed. that hasn't happened. i think the reason the president finds himself having to go to kansas to give these kinds of speeches is that he has to try to make up the ground that has been lost in the eyes of a lot of voters. >> jonathan wants to -- >> let me finish the point and you can have all the point you want. it's clear where the american people are and the president is trying to make up lost ground. the speeches are not going to be enough and he is going to have to put more on the table and not just point fingers at republicans and say you have done or supported wall street, you have to put something on the table. he hasn't yet. >> let me put something on the table. what do you call the jobs bill? he has been putting things on the table for a while new. now. >> let jonathan finish. >> you are insulting the intelligence of the viewers. everybody out there knows that the president has bee
