roosevelt was dead. maybe some are 45 you get healthy enough that the president needed him, he could call upon him for further missions to the soviet union. hopkins wanted to be high commissioner in germany after the war. this is his real goal and it's fascinating if you look at george marshall becoming secretary of state in the marshall plan, the seeds of this idea really started with hopkins and 44 saying i would love to be in germany after the war doing for germany what we did during the depression. how about a wpa come every agreed and infrastructure ms rebuilding the economic engine of europe. hopkins began to transition and reconstruction in places like germany and france. his ideal job would've been the high commissioner in berlin. he might have been ideal in the sense he was the only american who soviet still trusted any might've been able to promote better relations with the soviets. keep this one thing in mind also. harry was a public official. he liked power. i can see him starting around the

roosevelt, quick aside if you watch the wonderful ken burns series on roosevelt, roosevelt made a dramatic the state. in terms of becoming president. mckinley had only been in for a few and said that if this counts as reelection this is my first and second term, so i will not run again in 1908. he ran in 1904 and did not run in 1908 he later said -- that was my mistake, i should never have said that -- but he was not going to go against what he said. yes, sir? >> [inaudible] >> wow. great question. how did the country respond? the answer is -- with in norman's brief. this past week they reenacted the lincoln funeral in springfield. the gentleman who has been attending the stock and was an expert is in springfield right now for that. hundreds of thousands came out to see the funeral and page should lincoln garfield, and mckinley. after the lincoln assassination they were trying to figure out if there was a conspiracy behind it confederacy but they did not think they needed to protect the president better. after the garfield assassination they said that they needed civil service reform becau

roosevelt.it would take time to recognize human patterns of evolution. franklin was a more modern environmentalist than his predecessor and is still ahead of any of his presidential successors. as an approach approach to the environment he translated traditional values and aspirations into an ethic of conservation and this includes between humans and the natural world that evolved over time. the result of that relationship had often been destructive. in the land had to be carefully part of this effort was to be able to regenerate itself support human inhabitants. he created a definition of liberty and freedom to the community as a whole. thus viewing time-honored values with new meaning. in a speech as early as 1912 which is very in terms of what we're facing today there are many persons left that can see no reason why if a man owns the land he should not be permitted to do what he likes with it. they care not what happens after they are gone and i will go even further and say that they care not

roosevelt was no dove. clinton is no dove. >> interesting. >> i don't think we'll hear a second new deal out of her, but we'll hear rhetoric that tries to link her to the past of the democratic party. and that roosevelt coalition that forms the base of the democratic party. >> can new money act like old money? because it always tries. i'm dead serious. democrats have been comfortable with the stevensons, people with old money, second and third generation. the self-made, they've been more republican. >> i'm not sure that reminding people affirmatively that fdr was rich, hillary clinton is rich, therefore don't worry about it is going to be the best argument for the clinton campaign. i think it's going to be very interesting where she's going to have sayiances with eleanor roosevelt, now channeling franklin as well. nobody else can claim that. but it's actually a different coalition than the fdr coalition, certainly geographically for the democratic party. and also a completely different mind-set. yes, progre

now, bill clinton when he was first running reached back to the roosevelts, but really they're the rooseveltstheir time, so this is a little weird. it's supposed to be showing strength i think it shows weakness and maybe a little insecurity on the part of hillary clinton that she's doing this relaunch and sort of pulling back to ancient history really, in the democratic party. jon: yeah. historians who have, you know, taken a look back at the marriage of the roosevelts they had kind of an interesting marital arrangement. hillary clinton admits that she has had imaginary quote-unquote, conversations with eleanor roosevelt. bob bob woodruff wrote book that she was having a seance kind of thing with eleanor roosevelt -- [laughter] which, i guess really ticked off the clintons, betsy. what is the image? i mean, why call on eleanor roosevelt these days? nobody alive today really remembers much of the roosevelt administration. >> it's an interesting choice the fact that hillary clinton has been so inspired by eleanor roosevelt tells us a lot about her. eleanor roosevelt was a reformer but she was a

she writes about the roosevelt family.the white house family was regularly filled his family, visitors, and friends. it was very clear who was coming and going, especially when mrs. roosevelt's column started getting published because eleanor said who was there, who was spending the night and even what they had for dinner. she would also have her own press conferences where she would tell people who the guests were and who was living here and , there you see one of the press conferences. people really at the time knew all of those folks were living in the white house." she was -- only men could cover the white house and she was going to change that so she started having press conferences and only woman reporters were able to cover the press conferences. there you see a photograph. what was life like on the family quarters of the white house during the roosevelt years? the fdr years? mr. seale: extremely crowded. he occupied a little room, the yellow oval room. it had an army cot in it, his medicines and things like that. h

roosevelt, the (-left-parenthesis and reagan as the right. so that's why i wrote about ronald reagan. now i'm going to tell you a little bit about what i discovered or at least what i concluded. i'm not going to tell you everything because of course i want you to read and buy the book. but i'm going to share with you some of the experiences i had in doing research for the book. a brief summary fills in he was born in illinois and grew up in the fall town of dixon. he went from there into radio in the midwest. he found his way to hollywood and he had a modestly successful film career was openly modestly successful. he never quite cracked the top of the marquee. he was okay after playing an easy role. he didn't have it within him to play the dramatic role. and i don't clean it myself this is just how i explained that it has to do with some of the research i did. there was research that came from a direction that i didn't expect at all. it wasn't something i found in the national record archives. it was something that i actually will tell you i

now we're looking at the roosevelt boulevard near ridge avenue.olume out there looking pretty good, roads clear and dry. that's your northbound traffic right there headed up towards front street, that earlier accident that we have been talking about the hit and run has cleared so traffic moving better on the boulevard there at front street. on the big picture we still have construction on city avenue right at rolling road, some overnight construction blocking the southbound lanes and what they're doing is allowing traffic to get by in the northbound lanes but that one will slow you down. otherwise we're not seeing any problems on the majors but we have a vehicle fire coming in to us right now in upper dublin. look for it on bethlehem pike at west pennsylvania avenue. you may see restriction there is with crews responding to that vehicle fire, matt. >> let's get back to that hit and run you mentioned karen it's breaking this morning and the search is still on for the driver who left a man critically injured along the roosevelt boulevard. this lates

roosevelt presidential library.n july, we are live at the harlem book fair, the flagship african-american literary event with him discussions. in september, we are live from the nation's capital for the national book festival celebrating its 15th year.

roosevelt's speech. on the ground in roosevelt island is andrea mitchell. sorry we didn't have you earlier. who and what other than secretary clinton, will be at today's event? what can we expect to hear? >> first of all, they're practicing the band now. you will hear a lot behind me as they rev up for this. the crowd is just beginning to be let in. what you'll hear from is about 30 minutes from hillary clinton. this is her first big public rally. she's been running for two months on her listening tour this is the first time she has a big public event. you really only will hear from her. she will be introduced as well by a dreamer, but a young -- young person who is one of the people that they have been trying to help with their new immigration policy by expanding the dreamer rule. the executive order to include also the parents of dreamers. that's one of the things that hillary clinton that already announced during a nevada appearance at a largely hispanic high school this is a young dreamer who won the lottery really to be here today. then you will hear f

roosevelt liked the idea to emphasize the porns of winning the war. i'm sure most had [inaudible] they do choose to come here. they came here and the mate are ark of one of the big gold rush families mrs. flood gave up her pent house at the fairmont hotel. on june 25, 1945 a dramatic session took place in the opera house which most know is right behind us here and in that session lord hell fax was presiding and he this is such a incredible occasion. in stead of sayic yea or nay we'll stand so 800 some ought delegates stood then staff and visitors 3 thousand on a very strong standing ovation that was unprecedented because it was unanimous the united nations charter would be in session and would be passed. the next day on june 26, 50 nations went to the war memorial building which is roilth behind us which is being restored and opened in september, the 50 people signed the charter and it was presided over by president truman who said the united nations charter is a solid structure of which we can build a better world. we are proud in san francisco that

assistant secretary of the navy, a man by the name of theodore roosevelt. mckinley does not want him. he says, i want peace, and i am told your friend theodore is always getting into rows with everybody. i think we need someone who can get along with people. nevertheless, he appoints theodore roosevelt to be the assistant secretary of the navy. we will meet him again in this story, not to your surprise. if it had been possible to ask mckinley on his inauguration day, what is your presidency going to be like? what we you focus on? he would have said gold standard, cherubs and he was good on these issues and -- tariffs and he was good on these issues and he gets good grades for his domestic politics. it was a time when the country was prosperous, doing well, and certainly mckinley was good on domestic issues. what he would not have been able to predict is during his first

island but close to roosevelt island.o romney on this issue of foreign policy on the issue of isis, other areas, kasie saying feels vindicated validated his critique of obama in 2012. i hear this a lot from republicans, the obama record on foreign policy by extension the hillary clinton record on foreign policy since she was the secretary of state for the first term, that is going to be a much more significant issue in their mind in 2016 than it was in 2012 the idea this might end up being more of a foreign policy election. what do you think of that? >> i find that hard to believe. this was litigated in 2012. mitt romney was rejected. now we actually have george w. bush making an appearance in this race not just because his brother is there, but saying we need boots on the ground to combat isis. there is going to be a healthy swath of the republican party that's going to say things just like that and i applaud their honesty. i think we should have that debate. i don't think we should ever be told we're not going to do nat

a rousing crowd there and upbeat message on roosevelt island.ton will walk on the stage and podium. yes, she's running for president, it's been the case for about ten weeks officially now. but in just a few moments she'll be giving her first major speech at her first major rally. cnn's senior political correspondent brianna keilar is on roosevelt island in new york city where the rally something held. senior washington correspondent jeff zeleny is joining us from marshalltown, iowa at a watch party there. so brianna, first to you, where you are at the main event. this is her opportunity to really say -- i know your experience and i'm here for you. what else are we expected to hear from her? >> that's right. and she's also not only is she going to try to make the case that she's a person to fight for the middle class. she's going to try to reintroduce herself. but you mentioned hillary clinton has been a candidate now for ten weeks. you almost wouldn't know it she's been doing all of these really small events little roundtables, very low key and

and this is where it happened, the inner northbound lanes of roosevelt boulevard at front street in olneypened around 1:30 this morning and police believe he was walking in the crosswalk but they don't know yet who had the light. when officers arrived they found the victim lying in the road. he had head trauma, a broken leg, a broken pelvis. the driver kept going northbound on the boulevard. police say roosevelt boulevard can be a dangerous spot for pedestrians especially at night. >> the boulevard historically is a dangerous street especially to cross on foot. there's 12 lanes of traffic there's six lanes northbound, there's six lanes southbound which is a lot of lanes. >> reporter: this is just the latest hit and run to happen along this stretch. you may remember about two years ago when a mother and three of her children were killed in a hit and run on the boulevard. that happened about a half a mile away from here at second. in this accident, the vehicle is described as either an acura or a honda dark or black in color and if you take a look here live you can see that roosevelt boulev

roosevelt later wrote about the session in the white house. he said one member of my audience, secretary of state john foster dulles, had a wide grin on his face. he was purring like a giant cat. my instinct told me he was planning. sure enough, a few weeks later he was called into his boss' office, you did such a great job, we decided we don't like that kind on guatemala. couldn't you go down there and do it again? well, another group was found and less than a year after the elected government of iran was overthrown, the elected government of one of mullah was overthrown -- elected government of guatemala was overthrown. it left over 30 years. this sets the united states out in the direction of covert action and regime change. it was not inevitable that the cia would become an agency that was involved in overthrowing government and destabilizing countries. in fact, it became so only after the established policy set by president truman was reversed by the eisenhower administration. so much of history stemmed from those few weeks in tehran. let

i think it gives her a nice way to talk about eleanor roosevelt and fdr. likes that. also, it is a really solemn triangular shaped park with a nice view of manhattan behind her. so i think it was appropriate for a number of different reasons. >> what other locations were under consideration? >> so, i heard that they had been -- i don't know how serious it was but people had pitched them another symbolic place like seneca falls. something else in new york that she could point to this and say, from this historic place, i am wanting a historic campaign for pima president -- female president. again, other places that they could look at where early voting states where she needs to get up a lot of excitement that so far is unclear whether that exist there. -- exists there. and in new york city, i don't know of any particular places. >> the backdrop of lower manhattan and the east river for freedoms park. what does that stand for? >> this is a reference to the state of the union address fdr gave in 1941. it is the freedom of speech freedom of religion, freedom fr

chose one of its most intrepid agent kermit roosevelt actually, the grandson of theodore roosevelt to sneak into iran in late july 1953 and begin organizing the coup. now what can he do? first of all he began bribing newspaper editors and columnists and reporters to write all sorts of defamatory lies about mosadek in the newspaper. secondly, he began bribing members of parliament, and leaders of political parties that were part of mosadek's coalition so they would quit the coalition or begin to denounce mosadek. he began bribing mule whats so that a tri -- at friday prayers in the mosque people would hear denunciation of mosadek as being against the islamic faith. he also threw the military attache and began bribing mid-ranking military officer so they would be ready with their units to join the coup when the moment came. one of the most brilliant ideas that he had was to sew upheaval on the streets of tehran. he got into the mobs are us business. he was able to recruit several street gang leaders including the most famous and flamboyant one in tehran shaban the brainless who ran a pr

i used to live on roosevelt island.features of this island is it's very international. it's the home base for people who work for the soun if you go there the periphery of this crowd or the people back here in the area, a lot were international, people who live on roosevelt island. i spoke to them. they thought it was intriguing that the united states could have a first woman president. it was a predominantly white crowd. interestingly enough it was a pretty young crowd given a campaign-type of event but distribution of aid was a lot more what the campaign wants to see and i spoke with a lot of young voters in terms of ethnic diversity. but i guess if you look at the democratic party as a whole, was this crowd as as a that is righty? no, but that's something the campaign will have to deal with. it's also about who's paying attention and who's in new york. there so there's a lot of factors going into it but on the diversity side they were on the low end here. >> so well said there, joy, about this being one event on roos

roosevelt signed and gave him real cover with liberals -- roosevelt signed executive order 9066 which put the japanese behind -- japanese-americans behind bashed wire. edward r. murrow, from the state of washington, gave a series of speeches arguing that when the west coast was bombed by the japanese, if you looked up a lot of them would be wearing university of washington sweat shirts or wearing university of washington rings. and finally, the cartoonist, the most liberal newspaper in the country, p.m. in new york, did a series of cartoons the most famous of which showed buck-toothed japanese coming down the whole coast and picking up dynamite and saying with telescopes looking for orders from tokyo. his name was dr. seuss. >> dr. seuss. wow. >> i'll just finish the one thing. the living considers were horrible by any standards. they were worse than prisoner of war camps oregon -- camps, on the other hand, the americans deal with problems we, by moving on, and we did move on, and there's no doubt in my mind that brown v. topeka which was written by the same earl warren desegregating

when we return, eleanor roosevelt deserves to be on u.s. currency. eleanor roosevelt.e watching hard ball. you know, in any job any profession image matters. i want some gray...but not too much. only touch of gray uses oxygen to gently blend away some gray but not all for that perfect salt and pepper look. satisfaction guaranteed. just you and the look you want. just for men touch of gray >>> let me finish with a recommendation for the first woman to appear on u.s. currency, el noor roosevelt. to the millions of the people her husband called the forgotten men, the name personifies the faith americans would have restored in their government, in their country. for all the horrors of the 1930s, there was one person out there demanding relief. for the husband who could not walk, there was a wife who could and did, visiting coal mine, migrant cramps, sharecroppers and all those new deal projects. eleanor was his eyes and ears, franklin said, and conscience, too. it was mrs. roosevelt who made sure mr. roosevelt's project went to where the need was worst. it was mrs. root sa

and this is -- this is an icon that hillary clinton, between franklin roosevelt and eleanor rooseveltabout over the years, eleanor roosevelt especially, so there's that. and also i think that here she's going to talk a lot about how she's fighting for the middle class. but i'm not sure we are going to hear any big policy unveiling as we have heard from those associated with her campaign. this is going to be about why she is running and as she looks to reintroduce herself to american voters, it's interesting she's looking back to the past. not just the roosevelts, but we expect that she'll talk a lot about dorothy rodham, her mother, who had a very hard life. so at this point the challenges for hillary clinton, even though she's the frontrunner in the democratic field, is having problems with the polls lately with democratic voters not feeling she's trustworthy. they do feel more so that she's competent. so we'll wait to see during the speech if there's enough meat on the bones when it comes to policies to make democratic supporters or possible non-supporters who are waiting to hear wh

president roosevelt and eleanor roosevelt both were big fans of book reading. if you visited their homes nearby you know that they have bookshelves filled with books. fdr was a collector of looks. he really felt that books played an important role in this war. as the german army spread across europe there was a concerted effort by the german army to destroy books. the idea was getting control over ideas. any ideas that did not basically support the nazi platform and then the nazi ideas that existed were considered dangerous. those books would be removed from libraries and burned. some libraries contain so many dangerous books that they had to be locked and no one was allowed to go into libraries and take out those books. fdr did not think that was the best policy and he thought americans could combat that by trying to read as many books as they could. so the work of the victory book campaign in collecting books of books regardless of viewpoint and sending them to the training camps for the americans who would face combat and would face the german army he though

almost by accident, but certainly by design of some of the men you just mentioned, theodore roosevelt, henry cabot lodge chief among them. but just to go back for a moment to refresh your recollections in case, this was a war over cuba, a war -- spain held cuba as well as many other possessions around the world. this was a vestige of what was once the greatest global empire a european nation ever held and it included the philippines. certainly, when william mckinley very reluctantly took the nation into war william mccan kinly the president at the time, was a civil war veteran had seen how horrible the civil war was and was not eager to get america into a war but was really kind of provoked into it partly by newspapers that pushed what was known as yellow journalism at the time, really ramped up the emotional aspect of going into war. and what mckinley didn't realize, and he said it at the time was he had no idea where the philippines were. they were a spanish possession, and theodore roosevelt -- a fairly young assistant undersecretary of the navy who was in charge because the real s

he would not talk to teddy roosevelt. roosevelt wanted to go over to europe leading his own regiment. wilson would not even talk to him about it. he could have said this is wonderful, let's think about it. roosevelt was getting on and not that well, but he was not good at dealing with political opponents. he was very skillful maneuvering. he was a very effective president in many ways. you look at what he got through in terms of domestic legislation in his first time, it is extraordinary. host: you can only do that by being a great compromiser and leader. professor macmillan: when it came to making peace, he had a vision and did not think anyone that did not have the vision was worth listening to. this is where f.d.r. was right. he made it bipartisan from the beginning. wilson didn't. when he came back to united states briefly during the peace conference, he was out of the united states until he came back on february 14 for a month, he would not see lodge. he went to boston and made a speech about his vision and those who

[ cheering ] >> that is why i am running for president of the united states! [ cheering ] >> well, let's go to new york to speak to al jazeera's kimberly halkett, who is there for us. kimberly i guess hillary clinton also gets accused of getting frosty or seems to be frosty with the public. ratings have not been fantastic so what message did she send out to her supporters? >> well, i'll tell you right now that pol numbers have not deterred the supporters who have turned out today. this is really a group of adoring fans that have gathered here at roosevelt island. let's turn to the message in that clip. she believes she can overcome that. saying that there is a tax system that is unfair and rewards the rich at the expens

a following was gathered on roosevelt island in new york city. they could hear mrs. clinton launch a second run for the white house. she's hopeing to succeed barack obama in next year's election. >> you brought our country back, now it's time your time to secure the gains and move ahead. and you know what, america can't succeed unless you succeed. [ cheering ] that is why i am running for president much the united states states! >> there she is. well let's speak with kimberly halkett, she joins us live from new york. what did she focus on in her speech kimberly? >> well, you heard a little bit of it right there in that clip we just heard. that really was the overamping message of this speech. that hillary clinton believes while there has been a lot of economic recovery in recent years, it has eclipsed many working class americans. she used the roosevelts as an imagery to inspire people who were here to listen to the speech thousands i should point out. she'll use many of those same traditions to lift people out of poverty after roosevelt did after the great depressio

it is the roosevelt for freedoms part. take that image, take that vision, give it some universal 21st century distinction. because roosevelt remains the most popular president of the 21st century. reagan supported roosevelt. >> michael steele, speaking of, like big campaign events. i am all for wearing the media hair shirt and saying this is hugely our problem. but the sort of campaign jiu-jitsu that's being practiced on both sides of the aisle. let's talk about the announcement itself. hillary clinton has been running for president for like a year now. she's anoupsnounced but having the big announcement against the roosevelt backdrop. jeb bush has not actually announced his candidacy. i do want to say if we're going to be responsible media people, it is farcical, the rules governing whether or not you're actually running for president and the campaign finance laws that undergurd this theatre. >> i agree. we place more attention on people who haven't announced and still done have a guarantee that they're going to announce

biography of woodrow wilson and talking about theodore roosevelt and william howard taft in her book, "the bully pulpit." you can watch these anytime at c-span.org.

like theodore roosevelt said speak softly and carry a big stick. so in conclusion, let me find my paper -- i have everything in order here. my professional reputation has been tarnished in public and social media, and my family has suffered the ill affects to my well-being. these are the facts and the evidence that i have provided to the staff of the committee. it will be much, much, much more, and i will never do my six minutes if i tell you all the retaliation things that my agency have done to me.

in the park named after president roosevelt roosevelt's four freedoms. do you think she can harness that legacy? >> she's trying to link herself to great presidents throughout u.s. history very popular ones. there was nothing she said to separate herself from the incumbent democratic president and that caused big problems for her because the president's approval rating is in the mid to low 40s not a good place for them to be. also, you know hillary clinton doesn't have president obama's charisma and that came across clearly today as well. i thought she really improved last year during her book tour. she was much more relatable and comfortable but today you saw the rob boughtic tendencies that she's been accused for or caricatured on programs like "saturday night live," i think it will be difficult for her to run the president's third term. >> what's the difference between policy and personality? we saw the tremendous personality of her husband who sat there and didn't say anything, of course, this time because it was her moment to shine. how can you conn

there's going to be symbolism, this is an island and a park named after franklin roosevelt one of the greatest democratic presidents of all time and she is clearly invoking that. and the pitch is very different from the hillary clinton we've seen so far. it's going to be personal she's going to talk about her mother and say her mother's experience being abandoned as a child is what motivated her to get into public life to try to help people who have been disadvantaged like her mother and it's going to be progressive. she's clearly trying to shore up her left flank with bernie sanders, martin o'malley and avoid 2008 taking strong assistances, all of these issues that are firing up the left. >> alex this is a switch because clinton's campaign has been official for two months so what are her staffers saying about the strategy of waiting so long to have this first big rally? >> right. this rally was actually originally supposed to take place in may, but they pushed it back. part of that is out of the concern for fundraising. they got very concerned by how much main jeb bush and some of th

rez roosevelt called on everyone to do their part and every american answered.id there's no mystery about what it takes to build a strong and prosperous america. equality of opportunity, jobs for those who can work security for those who need it, the ending of special privilege for the few. [ cheering ] the preservation of civil liberties for all, a wider and constantly rising standard of living. that still sounds good to me. it's america's basic bargain. if you do your part, you ought to be able to get ahead. and when everybody does their part america gets ahead too. that bargain inspired generations of families, including my own. it's what kept my grandfather going to work in the same mill every day for 50 years. elts what led my father to believe that if he skrimped and saved, his small business printing drapery fabric in chicago could provide us with a middle class life. it did. when president clinton honored the bargain we had the longest peace time expansion in history, a balanced budget and for the first time in decades we all grew together. with the bott
