“You have to find the words that are out there and use them; not create them!” That was good
Man this whole clip was life
Indeed, life and leadership.
In a testament to FDR"s character, he passed the Good Neighbor Policy which enabled significant growth in developing nations, called the Developmentalism era, until Eisenhower came in. He truly was an exceptional human being.
On February 19, 1942, FDR issued Executive Order 9066, which led to the forced relocation of approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans living on the West Coast. Also put Japanese americans in camps, stole their property and kicked them to the curb. Not the greatest guy.
@@aintnotomgrossi9116 bingo
@@aintnotomgrossi9116 Japanese internment doesn't mean that unionization doesn't work.
@@aintnotomgrossi9116 you like George Washington?
@@Lightningkuriboh that comparison is not quite apples to apples. People are products of their environment and the environment washington lived in at the time of his life was one in which rich land owners owned slaves. As opposed to Roosevelt, though racism was a part of the environment in most of the us, internment camps weren’t.
"FDR had the power of empathy. No leader that I have ever studied was able to connect with people who were so different from himself."
On February 19, 1942, FDR issued Executive Order 9066, which led to the forced relocation of approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans living on the West Coast. More than two-thirds of these people were native born American citizens. They were confined in inland internment camps operated by the military.
Yep, selective empathy. He did some great things, and he should be praised, but we also can't forget EO 9066.
And threatened to pack the courts with ideologues for correctly interpreting the law setting in motion the political courts we have today.
Sheeesh
Risking the livelihood of 123,000,000 Americans and the state itself vs upsetting 120,000 Japanese.. in the most important world event* in the history of the state and indeed the world, what side would you be on?
Just like George Washington being a slaver.
this segment on FDR is the best politics in a nut shell explanation I've ever heard.
Why haven't you had Tom Woods on? Michael Malice will introduce you.
How does this have so few views?
seriously
My grandfather told me FDR was the greatest President ever.
Pardon the language Lex
"authentically connected and hd empathy with those different from him"
*Proceeds to throw japanese into internment camps*
E M P A T H Y
Internment camps are neat?
Yeah simple solutions like confiscating and making it illegal for people to own gold.
the idea that fdr's policies weren't good for america is preposterous. the united states became the greatest economic and military superpower in the world following fdr's policies. the usa had the fastest economic growth in history during the period in which we followed Keynesian economic policies, this isnt debatable.
Not having your mainland infrastructure destroyed by war while the world was shattered helped. But ya lets put it all on policy lol
@@DreadPages did the policy occur? Was Europe absolutely destroyed? Did Keynesian economic models not only make the USA the most powerful national economy on the planet, but also save Europe? Pull europe out from total economic destruction to the most powerful continental economic system? This is not a debate.
Dude, it’s all propaganda
A great depression that he himself helped to drag on
nope
Nonsense
Joe Biden, the Big Guy, what a standup guy, huh?
All Biden does is focus on reading his lines correctly that's it come on man
We could've had the modern day FDR in Bernie Sanders but the Dem voters blew it.
I couldn't vote Democrat because they're socialists and technically that's what linen started the Communist party out to be and we all seen how communism turned out to be yeah I ain't with no socialist or no Democrats or nothing like that if it ain't work in Russia it damn sure will not work here now dont get me wrong i dont hold just conservative views I have conservative views and I have a little bit of socialist but mostly conservative sorry man capitalism didnt kill millions of people are just starving millions who just killed millions because they had a different political view i like this system and and before anybody jumps on here that tries to say capitalism and fascism are the same things yall are wildly mistaking capitalism is imperfect in America's not perfect but I tell you what better than living in a fascist country or a communist country thats for sure most people dont realize food there and then countries you couldn't even have a different political views or you were dead u cant say what u want without your human rights being violated America's is a 1000 times better if u ask me
That's the stupidest thing I've ever read.
FDR was elected four times and became more popular with each time.
He's responsible for Social Security, which is the most popular federal program to date.
Thousands of federal jobs, which put Americans back to work.
Universalizing unionization, so that employees and their bosses can negotiate reasonable wages, which built up a strong middle class for DECADES to follow.
Brought upon regulations on capitalism, preventing economic crashes for DECADES until they were repealed in the 80's.
Created a strong social safety net for women and poor children while men went off to war.
Tried both right and left wing economic approaches during his presidency to see what worked best, and led America OUT of the Depression while mobilizing the country to war ON TWO FRONTS.
Defeated Hitler and left America as the world's sole superpower.
Was a highly effective political organizer in accomplishing his goals.
I don't have the energy or care to explain why so much of what you said is misguided, so I will ask you to spare the 15 minutes to watch this: ua-cam.com/video/S6jYIOzm5Mg/v-deo.html
And remember, the Soviets defeated Germany just as much or more than the US in WWII; they were also a superpower after the war.
Edit for typo
Do you have a book recommendation on FDR?
@@drewp.weiner2473 Literally a ponzi scheme. It was never solvent and never will be. Paying previous retirement with current money. If Goldmen Sachs did a plan like social security they would be in jail but because they are the government it is legal.
@@drewp.weiner2473 Yeah almost everything you said is false on virtually every level.
Social Security clearly works. Giving the elderly money works by definition.
Giving someone a federal job isn't a welfare check. It's giving someone a job. If you regard "doing good things" as welfare, then everyone supports welfare on some level. That would be like saying that being offered a 50k job by Amazon was welfare - if it existed.
Countless studies show that higher levels of unionization result in higher pay for workers. It works so well that in countries with high unionization, they abolished the minimum wage because it wasn't even necessary.
"Economic regulation stifles economic growth." Literally a right wing bumper sticker with fifth grade nuance. It depends on what the regulation is. Regulation isn't inherently good or bad.
Economic growth persisted between the New Deal and the 1970's. There haven't been any significant crashes AT ALL during that period. It's regarded as the "Golden Age of Economic Expansion".
FDR wasn't at all a radical Leftist. He embraced periods of right wing austerity AND leftist social democracy. He was a centrist who vigorously tried to save Capitalism from a Communist revolution that was brewing after the crash, which was brought upon by laissez-faire economics. FDR was a Keynesian.
I suggest avoiding hyperpartisan propaganda like Fox News documentaries, because almost everything you said was factually false. (Not on a matter of opinion, but on FACT.)
@@aintnotomgrossi9116 It's not at all a Ponzi scheme. Do you know what a ponzi scheme is? Look it up.
Social Security was based on Germany's conservative centrist model implemented under Otto von Bismarck.
Everyone who paid into Social Security, gets their checks. That's why they're popular to date.
Yeah he only kept the depression going for nearly 20 years, what an awesome leader
I agree
He didn’t WE did. He’s just one man.
In the 50s and 60s the United States demonstrated greatest per capita economic growth in human history. Where are you getting your (mis) information?
That's unequivocally false. Not only did he pull us out of the depression, but his New Deal policies lead to the greatest era of economic prosperity this country has ever known. You really have no idea what you are talking about.
@@AlexG-tp2ik don't be so sure. you can't see the counterfactual of where nothing was done. there is a very compelling debate about whether FDR elongated the pain or not.
The onpy people who think the new deal was bad are hardcore alt right fascists
