>> guest: both theodore roosevelt's father and franklin roosevelt's father really believed that their comfort -- [laughter] demanded of them helping the less fortunate. and in their time it was a little more patronizing than it was in the time of their sons. i think their sons just, they basically saw it as their duty. public service was a serious thing for them, and theodore roosevelt was the first to say the government when it's acting correctly is us, you and me. now, that is not a popular view these days, but that is, that's the basis from which all three of them worked. >> guest: it's probably a healthy basis, too, because if you think about it -- and we like to sort of look at that dome and blame our problems or look at the white house and blame our problems, but that's us. >> guest: yep. >> guest: and if you feel an ownership stake in that, then you can understand that we're responsible, each one of us either because we voted or because we didn't vote for whatever unhappiness you feel. but as long as you make the government other, you actually can't do anything about it, and th

roosevelt response to this. very quickly, it's clear by the fall of 1943 and the spring of 1944 that the americans and roosevelt are pushing this forward and they are going to take a series of initiatives to try to establish a more liberal government and bring representatives of the antifascist parties and this popular movement into the italian government. the british resisted stubbornly. churchill says i see no reason ad atpense with the king least until we get to rome. the british are able to stonewall and derail these efforts to liberalize the italian government. as you know, the military context of this is the appalling stalemate that unfolds in central italy, far from advancing rapidly on rome as a anticipated, the german forces able to1943 and are organize a fierce defense and americans and british suffer casualties.avy i'm sure you are familiar with some of the history. deadlocksry struggle south of rome and in the context of that deadlock, it becomes impossible for the americans to advance toward the pol

in the case of the roosevelts, as roosevelts, as i said at the beginning, we tend to segregate them.a progressive republican, and franklin was a democrat. there is much more that they were alike than different. the intricate family drama is so important. important. it helps you understand and stitched together important parts of american history that allows you to escape the conventional wisdom that we are all burdened with. we know very little. we are just buried in stuff. it is not all true, and a lot of people come with baggage and assumptions and conspiracies,, and it is our job as historians and storytellers to tell you what we no. we we employed all sorts of people from the left, right, center. most importantly, people who knew the story. we we are confident that we told a balanced and accurate portrait. >> the stories that you two have told together. >> they are like your children. we are we are as proud of this one as anyone that we have done. it is tough to do and intertwined narratives. it has been likened to a russian novel, and that is what it is. lots of secondary and te

i raised the question with franklin roosevelt if in february, 1941 leagues, roosevelt went on a cruisewhich was extraordinary given how he would be hammered in the press in the middle of the great depression. on the way back, he stopped at miami bayside park to give a speech. and while chatting with the mayor of chicago kantonne surman, an unemployed bricklayer stood up on a chair. he purchased a handgun that morning and fired five shots. surmac was hit and would later d die. had roosevelt been killed that day, what would the implications have been for his policies with respect to the great depression, wor world war ii? the country was already established then. but had washington died of what they think was an anthrax infection in 1789? had lincoln been asisinated in 1865? if you took the individual out of the story, out of the american story, these three, lincoln, washington, and f.d.r., would the story have been altered for the worse? i think the answer is yes. so individuals counts big-time, but they must be alterred in the circumstances at the moment as well. host: the end of great

well, one of those republicans was theodore roosevelt and theodore roosevelt may or may not have been good president, depending on your perspective, but he was a very bad ex president. and he just was not constitutionally suited to be an ex president. so he had run as being rejected by the elders of the republican party as candidate against wilson in 1912 he ran as a -- as an independent bull moose candidate. so daniels thought it would really makeno1.t the administra look good, from the beginning, to bring a roosevelt into a democratic administration. and so in his correspondents he was corresponding later, he described how and why, he had this vision of this youngy>s!0se knew so well, and that he had identified as havinge>sj quote right stuff. to bring him into the administration as his assistant secretary. but in going over daniels' primary sources, his diary and letter to his wife, he said to his wife, i shall bring frederick d. roosevelt into my department as assistant secretary. so it's possible he did not know frederick roosevelt as well as he#fclaimed years later, that h did a

roosevelt said he woulput "first ts first."ther way of saying this is that countries in a depression were not going to "let the international tail wag the domestic dog." under really serious pressure, the gold standard collapsed. schoumacher: 1944. the ttles weretill lo and fierce. as the allies swept across europe, there was no longer any real question that germany would be defeated. but there wererave concerns about whether the countries of the world could recover from the economic ravages of the war. inuly 1944 worleconomic leaders met here in bretton woods, new hampshire. it was at this hotel that representatives of 44 countries met for 22 days to cate a blueprint for a new world economic order. but why would at system, so careful craed here, eventually collapse? dr. edward bernstein was chief technical advisor to the u.s. delegation at the bretton woods conference. mr. bernstein, what did the delegates who assemble to accomplish at bretton woods? we hadwo different objectives. one was to get monetary stability without the

roosevelt as assistant secretary.it's possible he didn't quite know him as well as he later claimed to have known him. but he did bring fdr into the navy department, and they worked very closely together until just the end of wilson's second administration as fdr prepared to run as vice president on the 1920 ticket, and their relationship was very complicated. on the one hand, fdr did not demonstrate a lot of respect for daniels at the time. they were culturally different. daniels was a teetotaling southern devout methodist. fdr was none of those things.@pv but later on when fdr became president, he would often refer to daniels when he introduced daniels to his friends and colleagues as someone who taught him everything that he needed to know about politics, and i think that reflected maybe an older fdr's view that daniels had been a pretty good mentor to him in served together in wilson's administration. >> got time for just a few more calls. ralph is in smithfield, utah. good morning, ralph. >> caller: good morning

he brought roosevelt into the administration. it was only -- they served very closely together throughout wilson's two administrations toe until fdr left the navy department right at the end of the second administration, as it turns out, when things went really badly after the republicans take power and then the league of nations runs into a lot of trouble. with respect to the navy, theree are actually some -- when the republicans get control, they conduct some investigations int the waging of the war and the navy is subjected to some very distasteful investigation of the marines' behavior in haiti and the dominican republic, and also daniels management with respect to planning for the war, and so forth.and fdr, like a lot of very successful politicians, knows when to leave a troubled ship. so, he went his own way politically and daniels went his way. if you saw the ken burns recent documentary, series about the roosevelt's, daniels was not pl presented very favorably in they episode on the first world war.e his troubled relation

president teddy roosevelt. this is very significant because washington was the first african-american who had ever been invited to dinner at the white house. and he was criticized for that by some. many of whom were what you might call haters. why him, you know, and not me? that kind of thing. but also, president roosevelt recognized washington for his efforts and had literally almost appointed washington as a consulate, as a primary advisor for the affairs of people of african he is accident descent. and so booker t. washington served as really the first black presidential adviser on behalf of people of african descent, as well as american indians. so, washington is very, very important in this respect. also, president roosevelt roosevelt's wife were frequent visitors to tuskegee institute. not only the president -- president roosevelt, but many dignitaries. one of the reasons why and the primary reason why washington was able to amass such a large endowment for tuskegee institute is because his funding primar

so we are roosevelt people. we do believe in the public institutions and the safeguards that were created so many years ago to protect the little guy and the little gal against gouging. and i believe in this bill by and large and far from perfect we have continued to do this. this bill does protect public and consumers by focusing on five priority areas. it protects investors from fraud and manipulation and i'll elaborate on that. it safeguards the financial system from abuse and illegal practices such as money laundering, deciphering complex tax code provisions so that the taxpayer can accurately file a return,. promoting a fair and robust safe marketplace by preventing fraud and enforcing it against unfair business practices. and also by working with small business and being able to make sure that our agencies that are in charge with enforcing the rules to protect against abuse are funded. now let's go to the securities exchange commission. without enforcement, you could have every law on the books. you could
