he loved franklin roosevelt. he actually survived franklin roosevelt. i think he, i think he thought of franklin roosevelt as his kind of like a naughty nephew that he indulged. but it's a kind of interesting thing. and, of course, in the 1920 roosevelt was the vice presidential nominee. on the democratic ticket, he was a strong supporter of wilson's, of course, by then wilson had become an internationalist as we now think of him, promoting democracy abroad, the 14-point program for the reinvention of europe as a kind of american-style democratic community. um, fdr was a strong supporter of that after the war, after, i mean, after the election which the democrats lost. america lapsed into a kind of isolationism, but franklin roosevelt was very active in the founding of the council on foreign relations in new york which was a gathering of kind of -- actually, it was a kind of republican organization. it was very much dominated by henry stimson and william howard taft and some of the other republican elder statesmen. probably would have had theodore roose

so that was his first exposure to the world of franklin roosevelt. it began to get him very interested. that fact did not prevent him in 1936 from being a central part of the national franklin roosevelt campaign. i think you are living in lexington, massachusetts at the time? and jim organized his own soundtrack with an amplifier and speaker and he spoke through a microphone loudspeaker. we want roosevelt and other roosevelt slogans. the problem was that there was a thunderstorm and it lieu out the speaker and amplifier shorted out, so at least as jim has said, that was the end of his campaign for front and roosevelt in 1936, but it worked. every state but maine and vermont. >> i elected him. >> he elected roosevelt and by a great landslide history so i think we should thank jim for that. [applause] amazing because of jim's role and roosevelt scholarship. he actually only got to see the man once, which was if you had to choose a moment to see fdr if you had known this would probably be one of the seven moments i would have liked to have seen him if i

roosevelt, and people who wrote about franklin roosevelt hadn't written about japanese americans. so i started reading up more, and as i asked the questions, others came along, and to figure out the answers i came more and more to hyde park in search of answers. i would get up early in the morning from brooklyn, take the subway to manhattan take a trap to -- take a cab to the museum, and then come back. an finishing work at the law firm, i went back to school, and in the process i was so fascinated by my little article turned into a dissertation, and which turned into a book, and which is not for sale at hyde park. the book came out a few weeks after september 11th. although i had written the book long before the attacks took place, my messan been the perils of overreacting gamed a special timeliness from them. the book was reviewed and featured in places where normally such a work wouldn't be and it has remained ever since the work i'm best known for. still, i didn't want to stop there, and in the process of putting together, "by order of the president --" i found more informatio

let me cite two quotations from franklin roosevelt that i have used that may get us started. better the occasional fault of a government that lives in the spirit of charity than the consistent omission of a government frozen in its own indifference. and that is from his acceptance speech for renomination in 1936. thank you. the second reads the test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much. it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little. those two quotations i think capture something of the mind of africa roosevelt and of what i call the rose about revolution. the book is constructed in two parts. an extended essay on the place of fdr and the new deal in the larger context of american history since the original revolution. the second part is the collection of tea writings of his speeches, almost all of them as president or running for president. one of them his 5 beta kappa speech at harvard was 3 presidential. i selected them because they seem to be the key expressions ideology that historians don't recognize that they

franklin roosevelt's revolution emphasized as never before the importance of fraternity to the health of a democracy. he brought to life the idea that americans working in common efforts would provide for the general welfare with greater justice and security. what constitutes a historic revolution and why does the work of roosevelt qualify? a revolution changes the way people live. not for lifetime or superficially but in significant ways for generations. this roosevelt accomplished. so did the original revolution led by george washington. it introduced a genuine democracy to the world for the first time and created a new nation dedicated to the ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity. skeptical european ruling classes laugh that the americans and they also worried. they laughed because they thought the americans foolish peasants. called them farmers in america. should vote and hold office? that was simply not a reasonable 18th-century european idea. the enlightenment wanted rational government. very difficult to find and enlightenment thinker who was a genuine democrat. the idea t

i am the museum curator at the franklin roosevelt presidential library and museum. wait a second. i would like to welcome you to the eighth annual roosevelt reading festival. i would like to welcome c-span's booktv which is broadcasting this program this morning. franklin roosevelt planned for the roosevelt library to become the premier research institution for studying the entire roosevelt era. the research room is consistently one of the busiest of all the presidential libraries and this year's group of others reflects a wide variety of research done here. we are delighted to highlight these others's works at botox for route the year, especially at this hour annual meeting festival. let me quickly go over the format for the festival's current sessions. at the top of each hour a session begins with a 30 minute author talk followed by a ten minute question and answer period and authors move on to the tables in the library where you can purchase your books and have the author's son them. of the top of the next hour the process repeats itself. now is my pleasure to introduce todd mo

roosevelt when in one nine hundred thirty seven he tried to increase the size of the court so he could add some progressive justices to counter the power of the five right wing justices who were blocking the new deal nor the constitution to say how many justices have to be on the court but jefferson failed franklin roosevelt failed and the supreme court's powers are still unchecked as jefferson noted back in eighteen twenty one the legislative or executive functionaries act unconstitutionally they are responsible to the people in their elected capacity the exemption of the judges from that is quite dangerous enough i know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves america does not belong to kings she belongs to the people it's time for congress and our president to step up and put the supreme court back on equal footing with the rest would be other two branches of government and he to pass a law endangered ishall review take that power away from the supreme court and restore the vision that our founding fathers ad of america a nation where fiv

roosevelt his second term and everybody understood the great depression was going on in herbert hoover caused and you know what are other nations doing with their banks that were not doing here in the u.s. what are the lessons that we should learn. well the key thing that has gone on in sweden for instance which the washington post just reported on is the rockstar economy it's great innovation job growth it's got a balanced budget they put on some serious capital controls on their banks and not allowing their banks to lend our at the rates that our banks have been wending out is that to say they require a bigger capital reserve in a bank or for banking go a lend out they also demand better standards for look for better loans that are guaranteed by the taxpayers that's the exact opposite of what we've done here in the united states we've simply bailed out our banking system without any strings attached in britain you see a situation which if an american president proposed this he would be accused of being a total radical. deputy prime minister proposing taking big banks that were nation

it s a complicated relationship with franklin roosevel franklin roosevelt was a complicated man, and he kept secrets from, you know, the rest of his staff and he didn't let donovan in on everything he was doing. but he liked donovan, he liked the fact he was a spark plug for ideas and thought outside the box. donovan never had that kind of relationship with harry truman. there was just bad chemmary between them, they were never going to get along. >> charlie: how did you come to know him. >> i was a young lawyer in his law firm, it was a great law firm and when i was working as a young associate should in the library, and the general came in around midnight and he said to me young man, i'm debating tomorrow whether or not the demoatic party has been good for the country in the last few years. and donavan was a conservative republican with the young man says i'm a democratic and i'll tell you what he's going to say. we worked that night together and went to the debate together and i stayed with him essentially for the rest of his life. >> charlie: how long was that. >> six years. >>

but franklin roosevelt also loved a good fight. in april 1938 when things were turning sour for him, "the new york times" reported that the president's dutch was up, referring to his famous temper. the man of charm could also be a ferocious opponent. just remember the campaign speech he gave in 1936 before the 1936 election in madison square garden. referring to the wealthy financial barons and economic royalists, he said: they are unanimous in their hate for me, and i welcome their hatred. can you imagine president obama saying anything that bellicose and confrontational? and in that same speech roosevelt repeated the militant refrain: for all these things we have only just begun to fight. and if there was any doubt about his readiness to fight, to improve working conditions, end child labor, help farmers, homeowners and the unemployed, he repeated a few months later: we gave warnings last november that we had only just begun to fight. did some people really believe we department mean it? -- we didn't mean it? well, i meant it. no

his law partner edgar lee masters wrote to franklin roosevelt and said this is a huge mistake. you don't want darrow. as only a poet can put it and i will probably get it wrong, he is going to saying the nra which will die and that is exactly what happened. masters was right. others things he said in the letter were not right. maybe oversold the case. but darrow did fanged the nra and give birth to what scholars call the second new deal. but darrow is not a libertarian. he believed government had an important role. in improving the lives of working people. context is very important. his experience with the federal government going back to the 1880s was one in which there was trouble or a fight over working people, which side of the federal government to come in on. they send in the national guard and start shooting workers and the strike is over. everyone went back to work. darrow witnessed how the federal government was and that always an ally of average people. when he saw the new deal perhaps creating cartels answered industries like the auto industry he was wary of that. th

now of course, eleanor roosevelt drew from franklin roosevelt. obviously, she built her whole career on being mrs. roosevelt. of course, she helped franklin, too, politically. but you notice in this slide which shows eleanor and franklin shortly after their marriage in 1905 there's somebody in the middle there. who is that? sarah, franklin's indomitable mother. and look, franklin and sarah are looking at each other, and eleanor's kind of to the side, isn't she? and that started the way it was in their marriage. now, i think most of us know the story that sarah controlled the family pursestrings. and, actually, she tried to tell eleanor who was quite young, she was only 20 when she was married, what to do and even to the point of trying to sur plant her as a mother for eleanor's five children. of course, eleanor had a sixth child who died in infancy. but mama definitely was an influence there. now, we know eleanor and franklin lived increasingly separate lives after she discovered his romance with lucy mercer after world war i, but they stayed tog

franklin d. roosevelt himself wanted to get this into the war. the two of them worked hand-in-hand to do everything that they could serve bring the united states into the war. they had a special relationship. they had no incentive to lie to each other. in fact all of the incentives or to work closely with one another to get a sense of the war. >> host: politically while leaders find it easier to lie to their own public? >> guest: actually quite simple. easiest align when there is trust between two people or to groups. and in international politics there is not so much trust between any two states. one leader dealing with another leader, in most cases, not much trust and therefore it is kind of hard to live because the other side is distrustful. but when you're dealing with your own public, in most cases public's tend to trust their leaders. they think that their leaders are looking out for their own good. and we look at the president of the united states we think he is trying to protect us. international politics is a rough-and-tumble business, a

roosevelt's second bill rhodes i would say that it is it's bad and it's. well in its entirety but we're what we're trying to do is explain to our fellow nurses so that they can get the word out and talk to other people and say there is hope we were very inspired by what happened in madison we have been saying for some time it's time for people to take it to the streets it's the only thing that seems to be working you know we need statesmen nowadays we don't just need politicians and so the only way to start a movement is that somebody do it so we kind of took off from madison we found that people were very hungry for the message of you're right it is wall street stop that's where the money is it's not that we're broke the money is there to help us to heal us to make society the way it should be before we can't recognize our world anymore are you advocating for a return to securities transfer excise tax the tax that we had from the thirty five and sixty yes we are every time starkers border soldiers a thousandth of a penny or a tenth of a penny that's right

like that ofmism, franklin roosevelt, linked him to the deepest chord of the american spirit. practically speaking, that optimism kept his focus firmly on the future and on the past. it brought him especially close to young people. that is no small feat for america's oldest president. it also enabled him to compromise because he believed that if his ideas could prevail over time, if he could get more time to convince people in the can see what was coming, the future could be better than the past. as long as he could get the 80%, he could advance in the right direction. finally, reagan never stop learning and growing. he had four to six careers depending on how you count. that was very unusual in his time. it will be customary for young people today. his first run for elected office was when he was 55 years old. when he became governor, he had just turned 56. his first run for the presidency was when he was 57. he finally became president as he was turning 70. from as journey took him small town in the midwest all the way to the red square in moscow where he concluded the cold

herbert hoover once said franklin roosevelt was a chameleon on plaid. they were able to do that because they did not have television, this kind of exposure that the president now has. it is very different. host: factor in the supreme court case. guest: the new york times was vindicated in publishing the pentagon papers. host: lansing, kansas, you are next. wayne, independent line. caller: it saddens me deeply that the american people have never learned lesson -- go to war, try to make peace -- this cycle is killing the american people. the only way to stop this is a volunteer basis for the country just says, "enough. -- where the country says, "enough. we cannot take anymore." i am a retired officer. i saw my friends lose legs, lose families. it is up to the american people to say, we, the people, have had enough. it's time to quit. guest: i think you make a good point. one chairman philosopher said the only thing we learn from history is that -- german philosopher said the only thing we learn from history is that we never learn. there was a book publis

roosevelt gave a famous speech calling for cutting spending and balanced budgets. herbert hoover wasn't alone in that. but -- >> david, you're absolutely right. and i -- but i think that the important thing is we learned a lot. i assume we learned a lot during the 19 30z, '40s, '50s. i mean, even richard nixon said we're all keynesians now. and to go back to the 1920s, pre all of that learning, is absolutely -- i mean, it's just extraordinary. >> look, we've got to move on and -- >> but can i say one thing briefly, eliot? >> of course. >> and that is i don't think we're hearing from the president either about ways to create jobs. the larry summers column that was in the "financial times" yesterday saying that we're in danger of stumbling into a lost decade was important. it really broke with the white house. it echoed some of the things that bob reich has been saying here the last couple of weeks. and that is the administration needs to look to ways to create jobs and not sit here thinking this has been a bump on the road. >> you know, david, that's exactly right.

roosevelt very ambitious plans for the second deliberates at the end of the second world war, he writes as an insider somebody who has spent a lot of time thinking about american history that distinguishes him from people from american politics and it does seem to me that there was something to be said for looking critically and carefully at the use he makes of history when making arguments as a partisan elected politician. part of what interested me to talk to his teachers and people who had worked with him is how uniformly they confirmed to my sense this is someone from the time he was first a freshman in college took seriously the relation between ideas and political action. he has said many times the most important course his he took was the first and second year at occidental an american intellectual history and european intellectual history and chose to study political theory to know how ideas translate into politics? if that is his own conception and and the way he sees american politics, it seems to me it is only fair to take these folks seriously to see how he performs that ope
