fdr passed away in april 1945. german and japan surrendered in the months that followed but the promise of the four freedoms did not expire. even as the trinity can to take off in an unprecedented economic expansion, and are into into cold war struggle with the soviet union, most americans bolstered by the public investment of the new deal, the public investment of the war effort, and the massive public benefit of the g.i. bill set out in pursuit of those four freedoms, of that promise. but not all of them. not everyone wanted to enhance american democratic life. conservatives reaction is, i know sounds redundant, and a host of corporate bosses had their own ambitions for postwar america. determined as ever to reverse the progressive accomplishments of the roosevelt years. cancel out the promise of the four freedoms. bury the idea of an economic bill of rights. thethey set themselves a new to containing or suppressing if not extend wishing americans democratic aspirations and energy. and harnessing the cold war, no

no one stepped forward to record the story of fdr as commander in chief from his perspective. the only one of the attempt in fact, was called commander in chief written in the 1980's after a first chapter of fdr the rest of the book was devoted to his generals one by one. we readers grew up with the picture of fdr the one who largely left the direction with the prosecution of the war with a capable general's and war secretaries. winston churchill the president is depicted as generous and understanding figure persuaded to do the right thing. namely to give him the munitions the ships in the tanks and the arms that churchill needs to win the war. after all churchill was a born soldier. a direct descendant of a great general of the duke, a trained officer serving in battle since the 19th century in afghanistan and sudan and in the trenches of the first world war. who prided himself on a great military strategist despite the tragedy of 1915 then those who knew war to the fingertips and saw himself as the obvious man to direct a war strategy and operations once the japanese declare

fdr refused to go forward with it. the main reason why the soviets would not ratify bretton woods is because no u.s. financial aid was forthcoming. so they said we're not going to get anything out of this financially, so it's not worth going forward. white was indeed extremely disappointed. >> it's even clearer from your book, it's clear that he passed information that he shouldn't have passed to soviet journalists and agents. usually spy or mole means somebody is under the direction of the foreign agency. and is there any evidence that white was or felt himself to be under the direction of the soviets, or we see simply a fellow traveler who was more than indies crete? >> that is a great question. i wrestled when i was writing the book what sort of label to attach to the man. i've never been comfortable with any of these normal labels we use, spy, agent, mole, because harry dexter white did not take orders from anyone. he didn't take them from henry morganthal though he knew on which side his toast was buttered, and he

is unprecedented in a modern american history in that he has issued fewer than any president since fdr. and don't tell me that every president issued executive

. >> first, i will give you some of the old fdr speeches. obama's think barack speech is attacked. i think your point is an interesting one. i do not know what that will work. this is a political point they're trying to score this

in this case on december 29th, 1940, fdr, he's in the situation where he realizes that there's this war going on in europe, and we're not going to be able to escape it. it's coming our way, and there's nothing we can do about it. and he figured out something. he said this is a new kind of war, and he figured out something brilliant very early on. he might have taken a lesson from the nazis in this regard, but he realized that this was going to be a war fought with mass production. and so he gave the speech on december 29, 1940, and he called it the arsenal of democracy fireside chat. and the idea was to inspire free interrise and government to join together -- enterprise and government to join together and create this arse that would with which we were going to have to fight this war. at a the time it was very controversial because a lot of people didn't want to be in this war, but i think he saw-inevitable. and the only way we were going to win was if free enterprise put all of their best judgment aside and created the tanks, airplanes -- specifically airplanes. but not just the tanks,

fdr, a big champion of the boy scouts. i do not know if you realize, but fdr contracted polio in 1921 from swimming at bear mountain he was swimming with kids with the poliovirus and fdr contracted it. it manifested itself in his summer home. they called it a cottage. it was 36 rooms. he could not feel his lower half. he talked about the boy scouts as the greatest thing in america. after march of 1933, he created the ccc, 250,000 young men planting trees and parks. digging your attention to just -- irrigation ditches. not often talked about is -- i want to read this statistic. of the 200 94 individuals selected as astronauts between 1959-2003, 200 of them were boy scouts. four out of every five astronauts were boy scouts and stayed active in scouting. many of them made it to the eagle scout level. of the 12 men who walked on the moon, 11 were boy scouts. this is so important. when neil armstrong was here. -- was here, he did not take things lightly. he was not glib. when he was in apollo 11, in 1969, while flying towards t

>> the first was 1938 initiated by fdr and that ever was to and he had put forth minimum wage of $0.80 an hour and to looking at a lumber and textiles tusis $0.22 per hour it has a genetic impact been through the a usual congressional process. they it period $0.25 an hour it is fargo the original proposal but he also asked a delegate authority through the nlrb called the affair of thing which standard board and that would set wages across the country and congress at that time with a strong coalition were not all that excited to delegate authorityÁso they decided to keep control over wage setting them so sold beyond that point we were sure it would be a traditional already minimum-wage increase for a time and essentially if congress does not act and minimum-wage stays where it is then the rest of the world cost of living increases but the value and every effort to to index has also been if -- defeated. >> host: why? >> guest: there has been a small business lobby of firms that would be affected to them also concerned about deflationary pressures that is not something that happens autom

it's got happy chandler beaming sitting next to fdr. once there, roosevelt joined them on the stage in front of 50,000 by standers. that's back when politics would draw a crowd. f.d.r. embraced barkley publicly. i have no doubt governor chandler would make a great senator but i think he would be the first to acknowledge as a very junior member of the senate, it would take him many years to match the national modge, the experience and leadership in the affairs of our nation of that son of kentucky of whom the whole nation is proud alben barkley. now the race took many different turns including chandler accusing barkley supporter of poisoning him with tainted drinking water. you thought politics was tough now. but alben barkley beat a sitting governor by 70,000 votes which is quite impressive and won the general election. following barkley's reelection war clouds began to darken over europe. it was in this setting that barkley began to step into his own as senate majority leader. historians rightly note the vital role he played in enactin

look at this, in 1936, fdr won 19 99% of the vote in south carolina, 99%. you get 97% in mississippi. 87 in georgia. essentially there was no republican party in the south back then, but the civil rights movement changed everything. blacks couldn't vote in the south, but they could in the north. with their white allies up there, they turned on the pressure of the northern democratic leaders to stop appeasing the jim crowe democrats. there was a walkout at the 1948 democratic convention when northern democrats led by hubert humphrey pushed through a civil rights plank. in 1964, lbj made the ultimate choice, he had been pro jim crowe but his heart was somewhere else, when fate made him president, lbj made civil rights his priority, he did what no president had been willing or able to do. he broke the southern filibuster, got the vote through and signed it 50 years ago today, that shift that he predicted took shape right away. the republicans picked barry goldwater who joined the southern democrats in the filibuster. in the south, the solidly democratic south,

fdr wanted to do and what herbert hoover wanted to do. kind of like bush and obama when it comes to things like t.a.r.p. there was no philosophical distinction. so what ended up happening is, obviously, the great crash happened. we should note, by the way, that the crash of 1920 was actually much larger than the crash of 1929 just as, you know, just like an actual, observable fact on the stock market. and so there are a lot of people who thought, oh, we'll just bounce back from this. after all, the recession of 1920 was pretty bad. what do we do? we cut taxes and governments after the war, we had the roaring '20s. what herbert hoover did was increase the tear i have -- tariff, a number of policies that actually made the depression bigger. and it's my contention that the great in great depression is a function of fdr's kind of insane policies when it comes to interest rates and when it comes to government spending and and when it comes to the climate of uncertainty he created and the demonization he did of business. if that sounds familiar

>> the first minimum-wage was passed in 1838, initiated by fdr. part of the other was to do with the wage disparities between the north and south where we are. he had put forth a minimum-wage bill is going going to be 80 cents an hour. southern democrats will some of their industries, blumberg, text with the average wage was nervous about 22 cents an hour. it would've had each rheumatic impact of southern industry through the usual congressional process there were a variety of amendment and deals made and they agreed to 25 cents an hour. it was far below the original proposal. roosevelt had also asked a delegate authority to a wage setting board, something like the nlrb. it's called the fair labor standards weren't for low-wage workers and malice that which is across the country and congress at that time with a strong conservative coalition of southern democrats in midwest republicans were not all that excited about the idea of delegating authority to wage board and so they decided to keep control over wage setting themselves. from that point on a

fdr tried to -- pardon me? people had a fit about fdr packing the courts in the '30s for example. part of the reason you would pull a political stunt like this if you want to call it that is because you are trying to rally a base in a midterm election. you know you can rally a base in way you couldn't have done 20 years ago. >> is this what this lawsuit will help propel? >> i think it will rally the base. is this something i would have done politically? probably not. do i see why they did it politically? i absolutely do. i know what affect this is going to have. this is from the same type of complaints that people in the republican base had about this president for quite some time and it did rally troops in 2010. this is not a surprise for 2014. >> can this really be advantageous or can it potentially shoot the republicans in the foot or even speaker boehner in the foot by pursuing a lawsuit especially if it is not able to move forward? >> this is sort of the massive conundrum of the modern political party. that he a they are doing things. there are things that they are trying to

we watched fdr and the cermak connection. you had a dinner back in early 2001 at the white house with george bush. >> i did it every year of his presidency. they would come in and talk baseball. of course the president who knew his baseball had a wonderful time. >> you keep notes of that? >> probably should have. never wrote about it at all. >> what were the evenings like? >> talking baseball. the president knew who to ask and what was news in baseball. i remember talking about the last all-star game. i asked the president if he knew who got the winning hit. he did, it was his friend julio franco. bush knew baseball. >> small-group? >> sometimes 10, sometimes 20. no more than 20. >> was this off-season? >> yes, so guys could,. >> do you have a memory of any particular night? >> just the president knowing julio franco got the winning hit. i think it was the 1989 all-star game. >> which president was the biggest baseball fan? >> probably william howard taft. baseball was invented by abner doubleday who wandered into farmer finn

i thought you were going to say fdr. >> well, fdr, johnson. but i don't think of these things as liberal and conservative, because the question is what does the country need right now? >> okay, not exactly a stirring defense of liberalism, but president obama did not duck and run when the word liberal was thrown at him. but stirring defenses of liberalism are what liberal presidential candidates do. >> i am not going to let governor dukakis go through this election without explaining some of these very liberal positions. he's the one that said, i am a liberal -- progressive liberal democrat. >> i'm not keeping count, but he's used the label liberal at least ten times. >> if president bush used the word liberal ten times, michael dukakis should have stood his ground and used it 11 times. it was true, he was a liberal. but by 1988, liberal candidates had been beaten up so badly with that word they had no idea how to fight back, that they could use that word in their own defense. to this day, no liberal presidential candidate has done that. for t

is unprecedented in a modern american history in that he has issued fewer than any president since fdr. and don't tell me that every president issued executive orders because william-- william henry harrison did not sign a single executive order. instead, this good man chose to die of pneumonia 30 days into office. that is called leadership. now conservatives like myself have supported a un tear executive and use of executive orders in the past. but there's something about this president that makes the whole thing seem shady. (laughter) something-- i'm up set too. something, something he shares with attorney general eric holder. >> there's a certain level of vehemence it seems that is directed at the president. there's a certain racial component to this for some people, for some there's a racial animus. >> stephen: racial animus. holder is saying i feel differently about executive orders because obama is black. and i'm not going to argue with eric holder on this one because he might accuse me of racial animus. then i would have to look up the word animus.
