roosevelt. but half of them were. and roosevelt was a good politician. with half of the businesses in his pocket, he knew he could count on the c.i.o., the socialists, and the communists to kind of work something out, and here was the deal. "i'm gonna get the money from the corporations and the rich. i'm gonna help you on a scale you've never seen before. and in return, you're gonna stop talking about getting rid of capitalism. you're gonna mute that part of your message. you're gonna celebrate me as the guy who gives the mass of people something they never got before." so, what did roosevelt do? three interesting things that i'll mention. one--he created the social security system. we never had that before. in the midst of a depression worse than today, when there's no money in the hands of the government--none is coming in; it's really hard; we can't do anything--the president goes on the radio and announces that every american over 65 years of age who's had a lifetime of work is now gonna get money from the government for the rest of his or her life.

in 1912, there was another republican on the ballot, theodore roosevelt. roosevelt was remembered for many things. some of his nicknames were the pool moose -- bull moose. he was a very strong president when it comes to foreign policy. he saw the u.s. as having more of a traditional type of approach to foreign policy. he also had the rare honor of essentially choosing his successor in 1908. he was a bit disappointed in taft which had a lot to do with domestic policy. roosevelt partly because he was disappointed in taft, decided to jump back into the ring in 1912. it was an interesting campaign. he gave a speech in new hampshire shortly after being shot. he showed the entry wound and the blood to the public and said something to the effect of it takes more than that to kill a bull moose. he didn't win the election. wilson was elected with this plurality. he had a working majority in the electoral college and enough influence in congress to get through much of his legislative program. when it came to reelection, he was a little bit weaker than he might have

he got an appointment with president roosevelt. and he met with roosevelt and told him of this extraordinary corruption in the city and had to be:ed up. you couldn't do any business in san francisco that didn't cost you fortunate. and, roosevelt said, ok, let's try to clean it up. i can give you john burns, who is the guy who createded the burns detective agency. he was a g man. he was a great investigator and every serious government investigation during roosevelt's term was led by john burns. he came to san francisco, but it cost a great deal of money. and the pt said it's going to cost a great deal of money to lead this investigation. and he wrote a check for $200,000, which in today's world is about $4 million, and it was a great act of determination. he was accompanied by james d. fallon, and older and burns, and together they attacked the corruption in the city and created a whole series of corruption trials, which started actually, just two days before the earthquake, and when they found first evidence of corruption in all o

i was sat at a table with the roosevelt cousins. these are people who had been young children in those days. at that time, the main staircase of the white house, if you remember from yankee doodle dandy, came straight down into the state floor and not the grand staircase that was built at the time of the truman restoration. so they used to tell wonderful stories about going up and getting the huge silver platters and using them as to bargains. -- to bargains. when you think of things that have gone on in the white house from abigail adams laundry in the eastern to marilyn and her pony in the stream, no one has figured out what to do in the eastern. as become a variety of things. at the time lucy was there, her mother found everybody who should cut that had been in the white house and brought them back to the white house. one of those people was eleanor

i know after world war ii, there was speculation that roosevelt knew. was her speculation in the press about -- was there speculation in the press about -- >> yes, churchill was the first lord of the ad will treat -- admiralty, and at one point, he was quoted as saying, we need the neutral nations we need this stuff, and we need them to come bring them to the united kingdom in order to stay in the war effort, and if some of them get into trouble, so much the better, because that would work to england's advantage and against the germans. it is a far cry from that to then say, well, he was complicit in any way of what happened to the lusitania. he actually left for paris two days before the attacks. so he actually wasn't in any kind of position to be patrolling what was going on, and when you look at the track of the lusitania and you look at the track of the submarine and the countless individual decisions and actions that resulted in them being in the same place at the same time, the idea that that could have been manipulated by anybody to have that eff

franklin roosevelt knew how to do it, he didn't have to be on radio. and ronald reagan considered franklin roosevelt to be his political idol and he learned a great deal about how to make that connection. he understood. he can connect with the american people. without the filter of editors, he can go directly to the american people and accomplish nearly everything. roosevelt did in the 1930s, reagan did in the 1980s. >> his critics will say that he was a gum flapping after that happened to yap his way to the top. it was a case of someone that was just acting like a president than was there more to the man than he found? >> i will say that he knew how to perform the presidency which was essential. there's a lot of talented and capable people that don't know how to do it. jimmy carter knew more about the details of government and policy. but he knew nothing about actually being president. but the other thing is that reagan benefited from the underestimation and a lot of people thought he was an empty head. but in fact he wrote more of his own life than a

franklin delano roosevelt created e tennesseevalleyuthority, e tva. william jennings randolph was a member of congress during the roosevelt administration. the tennessee valley authority was a product of the new deal. it was not doling out money here and there. it was the planning of an area in the united states where there would be a development. hydroelectric power was a part of it. the plan to provide economic development to the appalachian region began with the construction of the norris dam on the clinch river. the tva plan was ambitious. the regional economies could be improved if the waters were made navigible. the tva constructed housing, began a malaria control projec worked on agricultural development, and provided electrical power to this depressed region. some thought the government was going too far. along with the utilities others who feared economic loss joined in the opposition. coal miners feared hydroelectric power would reduce the demand for coal. the coal operato of wesvirginia came to washington, d.c. they were very angry at me be

president roosevelt wrote a very nice letter saying, i hope other contractors will do that. when they finished that one, they were in need of housing where they were putting together the b25 bombers. he worked with the corps of engineers and did that for no fee. then went out where they were making powder for bombs. that was done at no expense. the corps of engineers offered him a brigadier general assignment if he would go to alaska, because the japanese had landed. my mother, who is a tough german lady, said, you are not going to be a brigadier general. [laughter] mr. dunn: anyway, he was a very unusual patriot. he gave me a lot of good advice when he insisted i at least try the business side of construction. i have always tried to follow his advice. there are very few contractors. i will soon be there 69 years. most employees think it is about 39 years too much. they think i'd better die first or something like that. i had a very interesting situation. when i finished pensacola, they were still concerned there might be some german subs lurking around. we would go from pen

president roosevelt understood the power of the people, when they spoke their will, -- [indiscernible] he knew that once this country became involved in hostilities the immense u.s. industrial complex would transition from peacetime manufacturing of automobiles, tractors, bicycles, and airliners to the production of jeeps, tanks, machine guns, and warplanes. and he was right. for the second time in less than a quarter of the century, the american people were called on to help save the world from forces of oppression and in the battlefields of europe, the waters of the south pacific, and in factories throughout this great country of ours, they responded to that challenge as americans always have. in the intervening years, the stories of what those brave americans did and how they did it has been told less frequently. in the schools and the history books and our schools, the narrative has been reduced to a few paragraphs. those stories deserve more. americans should know not so very long ago our way of life, our freedom, and the fate of much of the world hung in the balance, and the res

that's what teddy roosevelt especially was doing but a lot of other people too at the national level. pardon me. but most of the actual policy innovations that came to fix that problem did not come from washington. that national conversation gave oxygen to local reformers in places all around america. and so the innovations in that time came from, you know, galveston and toledo and the wyoming territories. and the isle of kansas. the american high school, god did not invent american high schools. high schools were invented by small towns in iowa and kansas and the midwest in this period so that kids -- with the idea that these are all our kids, we're all going to be better off if we give them a free secondary education, you know, free secondary education. that turned out -- and then the idea spread across america. that turned out to be the best public policy decision america has ever taken. because that massive investment in giving a free college education -- a high school education to everybody in america it raised the level of what economists call human capital in america and accoun
