take president roosevelt, he is a central figure in this drama when you see roosevelt standing on the well of the united states house of representatives on december 8, 1941, saying that december 7, 1941 is a date that will live in infamy, he looks so strong, sounds so vibrant, but as we discussed, here is a manhood been stricken by polio and could not walk. i was thinking about it when i was writing the book. you and i, we get up in the morning, we go to the bathroom we do our business we come back we get dressed, we go about our day. roosevelt could not do all of that without assistance. and that assistance was not going to be provided by his wife eleanor. she had her own bedroom down the hall the white house, and more than that she was almost always traveling. instead, roosevelt relied on a ballet. roosevelt had two valets during his 12 years in the white house. and i thought, wouldn't it be great if i could find some commentary from those valets about what roosevelt was like in those private moments with his belly. when i was able to find that commentary. i learned that in those pr

you might know that roosevelt was roosevelt was a very sickly man. he had to travel by ship from virginia to malta in theed me r mediterranean and a flight up to the northern part of theeninsul down to the palace in yalta, another four hours. this man that had all kinds of physical challenges. so keep that in mind. by the way, there was a number of other cities initially envisioned for a summit meeting. churchill and roosevelt suggested, for example, northern scotland, cypress, alexandria or jerusalem as possible sites for a summit meeting. of course, stalin didn't want to leave the soviet union. now, when we talk about summits, this is a relatively recent phenomenon in international diplomacy, summitry. summit summitry in the early 1950s, when there was a chase on who would first clear the summit of mount evet. everest. the cambridge historian david reynolds has written an excellent book on 20th century summits. he said the first big one was munich in 1938. that is before tehran and yalta, what we're going to talk about today. the way professor reyn

he was roosevelt's ambassador and a crucial figure to all the diplomatic goings-on between roosevelt and stalin. roosevelt and churchill met in casablanca in morocco in 1943 and stalin didn't come to that even though he was invited because it was out of the country as he put it. in casablanca an important decision was made, namely the unconditional surrender by roosevelt and stalin that determines the japanese could not surrender this time. this was the lesson of world war i conditionally that they have to surrender unconditionally at the end of the war. so crucial decision. another quebec meeting, this thing is not working. there we go. then there was a meeting where -- was being founded in 1943. that's very important for the postwar world. the united states rehabilitation administration set the hungry people particularly of central europe after world war ii in 1946. may be people only had a thousand calories a day. a very important meeting there. after tehran there was a meeting with chiang kai-shek for postwar planning and the far east. and of course important tehran meeting. that

the letter comes to roosevelt and roosevelt gives the letter to the state department. they finally get a reply. on october 30, 1941. i then the horse have left the barn. then the prime minister have been forced to resign because he could not arrange this meeting. the crew recognize that. there's only some the new letters they can write. should he have have come back from japan. travel was not easy in those days. that was a good question. you mentioned that the ambassador was like the dean dean of the diplomatic corps. by that i mean he was a senior diplomat. there was the existence at that time of something called in a abd alliance. in the southwest pacific. it stands for australia, america britain and this was approved and signed off by fdr the secretary of war. simpson and knox. here is my question. based on the knowledge and existence of this treaty and early as february 28, 1941. there was a communication alliance that was held by these four countries and they exchanged all of the code information that all of those countries new collectively with united states. eve

roosevelt. he was on deaths door, but i love that you had a graduate student looking at word counts of the deaths and the size roosevelt' as interventions. that is another 1 -- we can stay until now and doomsday. you, wasll still ask the fact that roosevelt was sick at yalta important? myth one hand, it's not a that the big three gathered together in decided the future of europe without much confirmation with the rest of the world. that's the reality. where the mythology starts, really, that the western allies were there in position to get a deal and is -- and didn't do that for whatever reason -- fdr was sick or there were spies in the american delegation or tosevelt was trying to get stalin to get the united nations, his main international project and his legacy goal. it's important there because from polls, that is where it was agreed that whatever government they had in london would be replaced, and they were losing territories in the east. the molotov ribbentrop planned was accepted by the

than 60 days after leaving yalta, president roosevelt was dead. joseph's donald brutalizes people for eight more years until his death in 1953 but dayd write no memoir that -- decades of bloody rule. once told the house of commons tot history would be kind him for he intended to write it. would indeed do just that. again, as prime minister, and in the six second world war, he and muchp the memory else for decades to come. churchill's impressions were far from positive. he commented, as you heard earlier, we could not have found a worse place for a meeting if we spent 10 years looking for it. he also deemed it the riviera of hades. [laughter] hellishriences would be , despite his cheerful and not altogether honest report to his wife, clementina, that open vote, -- that, "i am very pleased with the decisions we have gained." in crimea, church hill saw further proof that the mantle of western leadership had been decisively passed on from britain to america. roosevelt, though physically much diminished, was the of whate elected leader was clearly now

his reference for roosevelt was sincere. but their relationship became as you suggest deeply strained. both for reasons that transcended their own personal relationship, the pain resulting, the pain that churchill felt as a result of britain's relative diminishment in power and influence. the decisions that fdr made, his enthusians or seeming indifference to the threat that stalin posed. and then also i think just a certain amount of perhaps irritation that had built up over the years given all of the contentious arguments that they necessarily had to have and the fact that their strategic interests diverged a lot more often than most people realized. i don't think we really know the exact reason why churchill didn't travel to roosevelt's funeral. i've heard differing opinions. some say, well, the war was really coming to an end, church hymn had no business leaving. i mean, nobody traveled like winston churchill. he would travel anywhere at the drop of a hat. he traveled more than 1,000 miles i think if he wanted to go he wo

did roosevelt know about it? yes he did. because harriman was reported on the percentages and he reported back to washington and since roosevelt did not reject the percentages, stalin was led to believe that indeed it was sort of an agreement between the big three. so ladies and gentlemen, i think i'm going to stop here. ofs is dr. stoler's outline the pre-yalta conferences that took place where many of the important decisions that would figure at yalta on poland, germany and the postwar order and the united nations were already if not agreed-upon they were discussed. it was a process that was going anduring the whole war yalta of course can continued those discussions. if their questions i would be happy to answer them. >> dr. bischof, thank you very much for starting this off here. [applause] i will be walking through the crowd with a microphone. i ask that you please stand before you ask western. -- ask your question. >> stalin's refusal to leave russia at the yalta conference, some kindgitimate or of maneuver otherwise?

and roosevelt choked 45,000 is enough. they have to talk about the future order of post war germany in the sense of what we will do with all of the nazis and the notification was a very important subject matter. and let me mention one more thing that was very important that they quebec conference, the american secretary of treasury henry warm and thaw insisted on a severe treatment of germany, namely that germany would be pasteurized, would be the industrialized so he could not be a threat to the future of the world again, and this so-called plan was accepted by churchill and this conference, however, when the state department heard about it they were aghast at the idea of the de industrialized germany because they knew that germany was the center of the cotton european economy, and the de industrialization would hurt everyone around them. this strange thing was then rejected later on and did not come to fruition. we still don't know exactly how it came about, but one idea that has been discussed more recently was that thi

roosevelt knew it. roosevelt's people knew it. whether the exact statistics were known. that is a good question. they're still be questioned today. with the fall of stalin and opening up archives and we're still not sure what the soviet casualties were in world war ii, but the idea is they were bearing the biggest burden for fighting the germans, it was well-known for roosevelt's strategy for winning the war. >> well, i certainly agree with what rob just said. and it seems to me five times stalin appeared on the cover of "time" magazine. so that reality was clear. in terms of the actual numbers, the soviets didn't know them themselves. >> good point. >> the first time crushoff came up with the number so stalin never gave the number. it was 20 million and it was he emerged as successor to stalin and today's -- again estimate, is 27 million. but for stalin was not talking about the numbers because that was put in himself in a bad light. in his end of the war to his generals he said that any other people but russians would kick us out for what happened during the war. so he

roosevelt in many ways i think felt the same way. but what ultimately happened was that church hoil's sensitivity, his prescience about the horrors to come, really began to dominate in his mind. and the combination of that and the sight of the president of the united states, his ally, who he really revered in many ways, laughing and joking with stalin about say the execution of german officers or about the future fate of the world, made his perspective change. he really felt alienated, he felt diminished at the conference. and even though he had to know the direction in which things were trending, actually physically being present and seeing these things happen brought it home to him in a very cruel and decisive way. >> to your left, michael. >> yes, thank you very much. following up on another relationship question. the relationship, the final relationship between churchill and roosevelt, and given churchill's intense sense of loyalty and appreciation for what the polish air -- pilots in the defense of england and london, their inte

i think we're interested in eisenhower and roosevelt and maybe -- excuse me, churchill and roosevelt and we're interested in eisenhower and montgomery, general to general. but the churchill/eisenhower relationship is crucial and probably bears a little more attention, too. chuven hill is the one who was more upset about it, but that washington certainly knew some representation was going to be made. >> so the next question comes from mike online. and i'm going to ask a follow-up to it. maybe best for the panel to discuss this, but is there any evidence they discussed the seizure of german scientists and research? and my follow-up is does the halting at the elb allow them to focus on hunting the nazi scientists? >> i love when i'm able to do this. i really don't know. i don't know the details of the protocols that was discussed at yalta. dr. plokii does. let's save that one for the panel. i don't see why the halt at the elb would affect that because we're processing the population. probably halting at the elb probably meant we missed a lot of scientists who we might have picked up and

you can see how franklin roosevelt developed that. it is leonard silk writing in the new york times where he famously said in this present crisis, government is the problem. government is not the solution. along people forget the introductory phrase. it is pretty crucial in this present crisis. leonard silk wrote that reagan seemed to be having a direct dialogue with franklin roosevelt. a few years later, 2009, peter baker in the new york times wrote about obama's first inaugural, that he seemed to be in dialogue with president reagan. what we see is an arc of the ownership of the american dream that if it comes down to a single thing, it is whether there is more emphasis on individual initiative or whether there is a balance between individual initiative and a sense that when we fall down, when we cannot do things ourselves, that government ought to be there as a backdrop. we see that in fdr in the new deal and we see that in barack obama. let me give you an example of this if i can of the pragmatic liberalism and pragmatic conservat

roosevelt never banned christmas trees. people had ben cline the white house the white house well before roosevelt heard a new stationery. lincoln never slept in the bed named after him. save theison did not painting by herself but it was ordered to be saved and a collective effort that this was done. what these myths tell us about the white house? because of the white house is rich and deep history, the conditions are optimal for inventing presidential and first lady laura and legends. but history is often complicated and complex. tonightd the classroom at 8:00 announcer: kermit roosevelt, a law professor and the great-great-grandson of theodore .oosevelt, presented a talk professor rooseveltrg

i think that's where roosevelt was so successful as a statesman. i'm a roosevelt fan. i don't mind stating that. >> to your right please. bil bill. >> with the europe peep war over may 8th and this not happening with the manchurian investigation until august 9th, didn't liar cheater uncle joe have plenty of time to have done this long before the 89th or did he -- before the 9th or did he, in fact, wait until until hiroshima? >> no, he didn't wait for the manchurian operation, it's too big. you don't just turn it on. it required a great deal of preparation and again a great deal of transfer and number of troops, equipment, tanks, tens of thousands transferred across the entire yoeuroasia land mass. that may well have been how he thought it. but it does not appear, i will tell you 100% and the doctor can probably answer this as better than i can, i don't know the soviet documents at this point, i don't think an operation as big as august some were calling it can just be plugged in at the last minute. oh, they dropped a bomb, too much planing is necessary. months, actuall

i want to give a quick update on the teddy roosevelt. we found several more cases on board the ship. we are in the process now of testing 100% of the crew of that ship to ensure that we are able to contain whatever spread might have occurred there on the ship. but i want to emphasize that the ship is operationally capable and can do its mission sm the ship is pulling into guam and no one on the crew will be allowed to leave into guam and we are starting the process of testing 100% of the crew to ensure that we got that contained. the sailors who have been flown off the ship are currently doing fine. none of them have been required to be hospitalized because their symptoms are mild and aches and ains and sore throats and they are in quarantine now on gum. with respect to the marine corps, we have 44 positive test or covid-19. 31 military, five gifflian, five dependents and three contractors and we are preventing the spread of the disease and contain any potential outbreaks and recover the force as quickly as possible. oing across our nava

could be roosevelt. he's starting to think maybe i could do this again. barbara perry is part of the virginia miller center and she is in the series. barbara, welcome. >> thank you, brooke. good to be with you. >> in the 1912 election, swee the rise of the two movements progressivism and socialism, and how did the progressivism of that time compare to what we are considering progressive now in terms of policy? >> sure. a lot of similarities actually and a lot of similarities that caused the progressivism and socialism of the 20th century and the rise of bernie sanders and socialism again, and that is societal up heels and economic upheavals and immigration and economic inequality in the case of the 2007/2008 economic collapse and you heard people talk about in the clip the pluto krats in the sights of the socialists or the democratic socialists as bernie sanders calls himself now. a lot of parallels. the more things change, the more they stay the same. >> what is the biggest difference? >> the biggest di

that is president roosevelt iner landing at the airfield the crimea. you see that he is tired, he is sick, you can see that he does not have much time. photo, in my opinion, also stresses the point i tried to make a few minutes ago about who needed who and the sacrifice of the fdr mde, and what he prepared to undertake and what reasons he had to undertake them. he told his son where his will was whe he decided to go to yaltan -- when he decided to go to yalta. now, let's be more specific. what did fdr want and need? why did he go?? at the top of his agenda is the creation of what became known as the united nations. the creation of a new world world order with liberal institutions. a world where there is no spheres of influence. and enrolled in which -- world that would fit very well the pragmatic interests of the u.s. in terms of business, but also would it look like -- ideologically from the perspective of the united states, as a country that comes into existence in revolution against an empire. that it is very important to understand for the mindset

was successful, i'm a roosevelt fan. i don't mind stay saying that, but i think that's what he did. >> we have a question from bill. >> the european war may 8th, that is not happening with the manchurian investigation until august, did uncle joe have plenty of time, to do this long before the ninth, or did he wait for hiroshima before he pill pulled the trigger? >> he didn't wait for here she must to pull the trigger on the manchurian operation. because it was too big. you can't just turn on. he required a great deal of preparation, and a great deal of transfer and troops, and it required tens of thousands, and they were transferred across the asian land mass. until the it was certain that the japanese power had been smashed, it may well have been how he thought, it but it does not appear, and i will tell you 100% that doctor dr. plokhii he could probably answer better than me, but i don't think an operation as big as august storm, can be plugged in that last moment. it would be too much planning necessary there. three m

the reporter said to him, "sir, you mind me asking, did you know president roosevelt?" and the guy says " no, i didn't know the president, but he knew me." he knew me. and that is exactly what is missing right now in the white house. we have a president that has no empathy, that cannot put himself in the shoes of the people of this country. well, guess who can do that? that is joe biden.
