  • I'm traveling across the united states uncovering
  • 00:00:05.328 --> 00:00:08.631
  • The incredibly true history of what makes our
  • 00:00:08.631 --> 00:00:11.134
  • Nation so great.
  • 00:00:11.134 --> 00:00:13.470
  • We're recreating some of american history's
  • 00:00:13.470 --> 00:00:15.505
  • Greatest moments, exactly how they happened.
  • 00:00:15.505 --> 00:00:17.974
  • Didn't you think the rock would be bigger?
  • 00:00:17.974 --> 00:00:20.343

  • Buckle up.
  • 00:00:25.882 --> 00:00:26.883
  • It's time for centuries collide.
  • 00:00:26.883 --> 00:00:29.786
  • Hey everybody, how about a little presidential
  • 00:00:30.854 --> 00:00:31.988
  • Pop quiz?
  • 00:00:31.988 --> 00:00:33.590
  • Are you ready?
  • 00:00:33.590 --> 00:00:34.691
  • First question, has any president ever
  • 00:00:34.691 --> 00:00:36.893
  • Unanimously won all electoral votes?
  • 00:00:36.893 --> 00:00:39.729
  • Surprisingly, yes.
  • 00:00:39.729 --> 00:00:42.365
  • George washington is the only president to ever
  • 00:00:42.365 --> 00:00:44.901
  • Claim this honor, and that dude did it twice
  • 00:00:44.901 --> 00:00:48.771
  • Like a goat.
  • 00:00:48.771 --> 00:00:50.740
  • Alright, next question.
  • 00:00:50.740 --> 00:00:52.142
  • This one's multiple choice.
  • 00:00:52.142 --> 00:00:53.443
  • How many presidents have been impeached?
  • 00:00:53.443 --> 00:00:55.578
  • Three, six, or 11.
  • 00:00:55.578 --> 00:00:58.014
  • The correct answer is three.
  • 00:00:58.014 --> 00:01:01.117
  • This distinguished honor is held by the three
  • 00:01:01.117 --> 00:01:02.452
  • Impeachment amigos, andrew johnson, bill
  • 00:01:02.452 --> 00:01:05.155
  • Clinton, and most recently donald j. trump.
  • 00:01:05.155 --> 00:01:09.926
  • Question three, which president has won more
  • 00:01:09.926 --> 00:01:12.128
  • Votes than any other in history?
  • 00:01:12.128 --> 00:01:14.030
  • The answer, joe biden.
  • 00:01:14.030 --> 00:01:16.933
  • That's what's up.
  • 00:01:16.933 --> 00:01:19.235
  • Our final question
  • 00:01:19.235 --> 00:01:20.436
  • Centers on a very controversial president
  • 00:01:20.436 --> 00:01:23.173
  • As well as the focus of today's episode.
  • 00:01:23.173 --> 00:01:25.775
  • I'll give you three hints.
  • 00:01:25.775 --> 00:01:28.077
  • This president from a successful family of
  • 00:01:28.077 --> 00:01:30.079
  • New yorkers who gained their wealth through business
  • 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.950
  • And real estate, he was also known for his
  • 00:01:33.950 --> 00:01:35.952
  • Trademark hat.
  • 00:01:35.952 --> 00:01:37.754
  • Next clue.
  • 00:01:37.754 --> 00:01:38.621
  • After a period of terrible financial
  • 00:01:38.621 --> 00:01:40.490
  • Instability, this president promised to
  • 00:01:40.490 --> 00:01:43.159
  • Make america great again.
  • 00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:45.728
  • Okay, so that's probably a total dead giveaway.
  • 00:01:45.728 --> 00:01:49.365
  • The answer, of course, franklin delano roosevelt.
  • 00:01:49.365 --> 00:01:52.902
  • I know.
  • 00:01:52.902 --> 00:01:54.704
  • You're probably thinking of the other famous
  • 00:01:53.670 --> 00:01:56.506
  • New york president, miller fillmore.
  • 00:01:56.506 --> 00:01:59.475
  • Oh yeah, but he didn't wear hats.
  • 00:01:59.475 --> 00:02:01.978
  • So fdr, it is. in the midst of the great depression,
  • 00:02:01.978 --> 00:02:04.781
  • President roosevelt made america an offer
  • 00:02:04.781 --> 00:02:07.550
  • It couldn't refuse, a new deal to rebuild our
  • 00:02:07.550 --> 00:02:10.987
  • Nation and restore our wealth.
  • 00:02:10.987 --> 00:02:12.889
  • And this new deal changed everything.
  • 00:02:12.889 --> 00:02:15.959
  • But did it really make america great again?
  • 00:02:15.959 --> 00:02:18.962
  • Buckle up.
  • 00:02:18.962 --> 00:02:19.829
  • It's time for centuries collide.
  • 00:02:19.829 --> 00:02:21.531
  • ♪♪
  • 00:02:21.531 --> 00:02:34.444
  • In the 1930's, america was in rough shape.
  • 00:02:34.444 --> 00:02:37.714
  • We needed a major facelift.
  • 00:02:37.714 --> 00:02:39.849
  • Oh, hey guys, good to see you.
  • 00:02:39.849 --> 00:02:45.121
  • George is looking nice and chiseled.
  • 00:02:45.121 --> 00:02:47.423
  • Anyway, where was i?
  • 00:02:47.423 --> 00:02:48.891
  • Oh yeah, facelift.
  • 00:02:48.891 --> 00:02:51.227
  • In the midst of the great depression, america was
  • 00:02:51.227 --> 00:02:53.563
  • Out of money, out of jobs, and well
  • 00:02:53.563 --> 00:02:56.266
  • Super depressed.
  • 00:02:56.266 --> 00:02:57.500
  • We needed a fresh outlook, and that's
  • 00:02:57.500 --> 00:02:59.736
  • Exactly what we got.
  • 00:02:59.736 --> 00:03:01.971
  • Over 2000 hospitals, 2,500 firehouses and a
  • 00:03:01.971 --> 00:03:05.174
  • Thousand libraries, 15,000 auditoriums gyms
  • 00:03:05.174 --> 00:03:08.811
  • And recreational centers.
  • 00:03:08.811 --> 00:03:10.947
  • A thousand airports, 12,000 playgrounds, 1200
  • 00:03:10.947 --> 00:03:14.484
  • Skating rinks, a thousand swimming pools.
  • 00:03:14.484 --> 00:03:18.154
  • 630,000 miles of roads and 1 million miles
  • 00:03:18.154 --> 00:03:23.159
  • Of sidewalks.
  • 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:24.761
  • Not to mention some super amazing national
  • 00:03:24.761 --> 00:03:26.429
  • Monuments like these guys right here.
  • 00:03:26.429 --> 00:03:29.232
  • So how do we go from super depressed to making
  • 00:03:29.232 --> 00:03:32.135
  • America great again?
  • 00:03:32.135 --> 00:03:34.404
  • Well, let's rewind a bit.
  • 00:03:34.404 --> 00:03:38.174
  • The 1920's was one big party in the usa, and if
  • 00:03:39.242 --> 00:03:41.944
  • You don't believe me, you should watch our
  • 00:03:41.944 --> 00:03:43.780
  • Last episode.
  • 00:03:43.780 --> 00:03:46.649
  • We helped win world war i, women could vote and we
  • 00:03:46.649 --> 00:03:49.686
  • Had a ton of money to spend on exciting new
  • 00:03:49.686 --> 00:03:52.455
  • Things like radios, telephones, cars, and
  • 00:03:52.455 --> 00:03:55.258
  • Illegal booze.
  • 00:03:55.258 --> 00:03:56.592
  • But then in 1929, the whole party came
  • 00:03:56.592 --> 00:03:59.362
  • Crashing down.
  • 00:03:59.362 --> 00:04:01.297
  • The stock market crashed and america
  • 00:04:01.297 --> 00:04:03.399
  • Got depressed.
  • 00:04:03.399 --> 00:04:04.500
  • Enter the great depression, the worst
  • 00:04:04.500 --> 00:04:08.037
  • Global economic downturn in history.
  • 00:04:08.037 --> 00:04:11.474
  • And by 1933, 15 million people were unemployed
  • 00:04:11.474 --> 00:04:15.578
  • And nearly half of the country's banks had collapsed.
  • 00:04:15.578 --> 00:04:19.015
  • Things were grim.
  • 00:04:19.015 --> 00:04:20.750
  • Central park was filled with
  • 00:04:20.750 --> 00:04:22.118
  • Homeless encampments.
  • 00:04:22.118 --> 00:04:23.853
  • It looked like modern day california.
  • 00:04:23.853 --> 00:04:25.788
  • Yikes.
  • 00:04:25.788 --> 00:04:27.490
  • These homeless camps were nicknamed hoovervilles.
  • 00:04:27.490 --> 00:04:30.493
  • And not just because they sucked, but because they
  • 00:04:30.493 --> 00:04:33.396
  • Were named after president hoover who had
  • 00:04:33.396 --> 00:04:35.298
  • Earned a reputation for not being a very
  • 00:04:35.298 --> 00:04:39.502
  • Helpful president.
  • 00:04:39.502 --> 00:04:41.704
  • This place is getting to be a real hellhole.
  • 00:04:41.704 --> 00:04:45.141
  • More like hoover hole.
  • 00:04:45.141 --> 00:04:46.843
  • Am i right?
  • 00:04:46.843 --> 00:04:48.778
  • I'm sorry, mr. president.
  • 00:04:48.778 --> 00:04:49.645
  • Well, what are we going to do?
  • 00:04:49.645 --> 00:04:50.747
  • We could get some of those giant checks and
  • 00:04:50.747 --> 00:04:54.183
  • Deliver them by balloon to people's houses.
  • 00:04:54.183 --> 00:04:57.820
  • Gadzooks, man.
  • 00:04:57.820 --> 00:04:59.188
  • Where are your pants?
  • 00:04:59.188 --> 00:05:00.923
  • I thought we were going to video in,
  • 00:05:00.923 --> 00:05:01.924
  • Mr. president.
  • 00:05:01.924 --> 00:05:02.992
  • Oh, same.
  • 00:05:02.992 --> 00:05:03.893
  • Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
  • 00:05:03.893 --> 00:05:05.328
  • What if we just
  • 00:05:05.328 --> 00:05:06.596
  • Do nothing? nothing. nothing.
  • 00:05:06.596 --> 00:05:13.669
  • It's simple, easy to accomplish.
  • 00:05:13.669 --> 00:05:16.706
  • That'll be my new policy.
  • 00:05:16.706 --> 00:05:18.074
  • Great.
  • 00:05:18.074 --> 00:05:19.475
  • Good work, man.
  • 00:05:19.475 --> 00:05:20.610
  • That's a real hoover of an idea.
  • 00:05:20.610 --> 00:05:23.446
  • That's how you use hoover in a sentence.
  • 00:05:23.446 --> 00:05:25.314
  • The problem was by 1932, food lines
  • 00:05:25.314 --> 00:05:27.650
  • Were everywhere.
  • 00:05:27.650 --> 00:05:29.018
  • Private charities were bankrupt.
  • 00:05:29.018 --> 00:05:30.887
  • There just wasn't enough food, clothing, and
  • 00:05:30.887 --> 00:05:32.655
  • Medicine to go around, but hoover still didn't
  • 00:05:32.655 --> 00:05:35.958
  • Want to intervene.
  • 00:05:35.958 --> 00:05:37.059
  • You see, he was a pretty classic pick yourself up
  • 00:05:37.059 --> 00:05:40.496
  • By the bootstraps kind of guy, which have you ever
  • 00:05:40.496 --> 00:05:43.166
  • Tried to do that?
  • 00:05:43.166 --> 00:05:46.102
  • [loudly struggling]
  • 00:05:46.102 --> 00:05:52.375
  • America was in bad shape and the people were
  • 00:05:52.375 --> 00:05:54.777
  • Looking for help, which is exactly what
  • 00:05:54.777 --> 00:05:57.980
  • Democratic party candidate franklin delano
  • 00:05:57.980 --> 00:06:00.550
  • Roosevelt promised in the 1932 election.
  • 00:06:00.550 --> 00:06:05.455
  • Oh, hello there.
  • 00:06:05.888 --> 00:06:07.423
  • Thought i'd change up my location and my
  • 00:06:07.423 --> 00:06:09.225
  • Communication style because that's exactly
  • 00:06:09.225 --> 00:06:12.061
  • What happened
  • 00:06:12.061 --> 00:06:13.529
  • In 1932. presidential candidate roosevelt
  • 00:06:13.529 --> 00:06:16.466
  • Became famous for his fireside chats with the
  • 00:06:16.466 --> 00:06:20.203
  • American people,
  • 00:06:20.203 --> 00:06:21.671
  • Although he wasn't sitting next to an actual
  • 00:06:21.671 --> 00:06:23.706
  • Fire. he was simply making a dinnertime
  • 00:06:23.706 --> 00:06:27.477
  • Radio broadcast.
  • 00:06:27.477 --> 00:06:29.011
  • It felt warm and cozy and he made use of a big new
  • 00:06:29.011 --> 00:06:33.316
  • Tech of the day,
  • 00:06:33.316 --> 00:06:35.218
  • The radio.
  • 00:06:35.218 --> 00:06:36.986
  • You see, roosevelt knew how to speak to the
  • 00:06:36.986 --> 00:06:38.688
  • People of the 1930's and it worked really well.
  • 00:06:38.688 --> 00:06:43.826
  • Confidence and courage are the essentials of
  • 00:06:43.826 --> 00:06:46.462
  • Success in carrying out our plan.
  • 00:06:46.462 --> 00:06:50.666
  • You people must have faith.
  • 00:06:50.666 --> 00:06:52.635
  • You must not be stampeded by rumors
  • 00:06:52.635 --> 00:06:55.471
  • Or guesses. let us unite in banishing fear. and send.
  • 00:06:55.471 --> 00:07:02.378
  • That was probably the greatest communication
  • 00:07:02.378 --> 00:07:05.014
  • That has ever been communicated by a
  • 00:07:05.014 --> 00:07:06.449
  • Communicator who's ever communicated.
  • 00:07:06.449 --> 00:07:09.519
  • And just like the politicians today, it
  • 00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:11.320
  • Didn't matter that he didn't have a specific plan.
  • 00:07:11.320 --> 00:07:14.790
  • Fdr was super inspiring.
  • 00:07:14.790 --> 00:07:18.227
  • The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
  • 00:07:18.227 --> 00:07:24.700
  • Send.
  • 00:07:24.700 --> 00:07:25.801
  • Like i said, inspiring. fdr's knack for speaking
  • 00:07:25.801 --> 00:07:29.071
  • Directly to the american people, helped him win a
  • 00:07:29.071 --> 00:07:32.008
  • Landslide election.
  • 00:07:32.008 --> 00:07:34.877
  • But it was his truly epic acceptance speech that
  • 00:07:34.877 --> 00:07:37.847
  • Set the tone for his larger than life presidency.
  • 00:07:37.847 --> 00:07:40.349
  • Roll tape.
  • 00:07:40.349 --> 00:07:42.285
  • I pledge you,
  • 00:07:42.285 --> 00:07:43.786
  • I pledge myself to a new deal for the
  • 00:07:43.786 --> 00:07:48.257
  • American people.
  • 00:07:48.257 --> 00:07:49.926
  • It's going to be huge.
  • 00:07:49.926 --> 00:07:53.963
  • A new deal for the american people.
  • 00:07:54.764 --> 00:07:57.900
  • That sounds pretty awesome.
  • 00:07:57.900 --> 00:07:59.502
  • So he may not have had an airtight plan, but fdr
  • 00:07:59.502 --> 00:08:02.438
  • Definitely had a strategy.
  • 00:08:02.438 --> 00:08:06.909
  • What's the deal with the new deal?
  • 00:08:06.909 --> 00:08:08.578
  • His new plan is called relief,
  • 00:08:08.578 --> 00:08:10.313
  • Recovery and reform.
  • 00:08:10.313 --> 00:08:11.514
  • Let's just call it the three r's.
  • 00:08:11.514 --> 00:08:13.516
  • Relief. what is that?
  • 00:08:13.516 --> 00:08:16.052
  • This relief is intended to help those in the
  • 00:08:16.052 --> 00:08:17.787
  • Worst immediate crisis.
  • 00:08:17.787 --> 00:08:20.156
  • The relief took the form of breadlines, government
  • 00:08:20.156 --> 00:08:22.959
  • Created jobs, welfare, and most famously the
  • 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.062
  • Social security act, which we still have today.
  • 00:08:26.062 --> 00:08:29.031
  • And the recovery?
  • 00:08:29.031 --> 00:08:31.067
  • The recovery is aimed at helping the economy
  • 00:08:31.067 --> 00:08:33.035
  • Bounce back.
  • 00:08:33.035 --> 00:08:34.570
  • The agricultural adjustment act helped
  • 00:08:34.570 --> 00:08:37.340
  • Regulate the production and prices of goods like
  • 00:08:37.340 --> 00:08:40.076
  • Eggs, beef, cotton, and tobacco.
  • 00:08:40.076 --> 00:08:44.246
  • And reform,
  • 00:08:44.246 --> 00:08:45.581
  • What's the deal with that?
  • 00:08:45.581 --> 00:08:46.916
  • The goal here was to tackle bigger systematic
  • 00:08:46.916 --> 00:08:49.452
  • Problems so that we'd never have
  • 00:08:49.452 --> 00:08:50.886
  • Another great depression.
  • 00:08:50.886 --> 00:08:52.588
  • Okay, that's all for today.
  • 00:08:52.588 --> 00:08:53.823
  • Thank you so much.
  • 00:08:53.823 --> 00:08:54.991
  • So what does this all mean?
  • 00:08:54.991 --> 00:08:56.258
  • How did it all work, and what was the political
  • 00:08:56.258 --> 00:08:58.828
  • Philosophy behind it?
  • 00:08:58.828 --> 00:09:00.663
  • I know.
  • 00:09:00.663 --> 00:09:03.265
  • These are the types of questions you really hope
  • 00:09:02.098 --> 00:09:05.201
  • I don't start answering.
  • 00:09:05.201 --> 00:09:06.402
  • So how about i have two adorable bunnies
  • 00:09:06.402 --> 00:09:10.339
  • Break it down for us?
  • 00:09:10.339 --> 00:09:12.141
  • So the basic idea behind the new deal was that the
  • 00:09:12.141 --> 00:09:14.110
  • Government could create a more just society by
  • 00:09:14.110 --> 00:09:16.746
  • Super imposing a welfare state on top of a
  • 00:09:16.746 --> 00:09:18.280
  • Capitalist system.
  • 00:09:18.280 --> 00:09:20.449
  • Welfare state? for the last time, stop
  • 00:09:20.449 --> 00:09:23.185
  • Shoving socialism down my throat,
  • 00:09:23.185 --> 00:09:25.588
  • Brittany. stop making this about you.
  • 00:09:25.588 --> 00:09:28.491
  • Whatever.
  • 00:09:28.491 --> 00:09:30.026
  • A welfare state on top of a capitalist system.
  • 00:09:30.026 --> 00:09:33.529
  • This is actually something we hear a lot
  • 00:09:33.529 --> 00:09:35.231
  • About today.
  • 00:09:35.231 --> 00:09:37.199
  • I guess just proving once again that there are no
  • 00:09:37.199 --> 00:09:40.803
  • New ideas in politics.
  • 00:09:40.803 --> 00:09:42.505
  • So are they as good together as peanut butter
  • 00:09:42.505 --> 00:09:44.940
  • And jelly crackers and cheese, fudge and ice cream?
  • 00:09:44.940 --> 00:09:47.777
  • And how well did these systems actually work in
  • 00:09:47.777 --> 00:09:51.714
  • The 1930's?
  • 00:09:51.714 --> 00:09:53.482
  • Let's take a look at what the new deal
  • 00:09:53.482 --> 00:09:55.384
  • Did accomplish.
  • 00:09:55.384 --> 00:09:56.852
  • In 1933, the homeless population of the united
  • 00:09:56.852 --> 00:09:59.455
  • States reached 15 million people.
  • 00:09:59.455 --> 00:10:02.792
  • People were desperate for help.
  • 00:10:02.792 --> 00:10:05.895
  • I have 10 days to get another house.
  • 00:10:05.895 --> 00:10:08.064
  • No job, no means of paying their rent.
  • 00:10:08.064 --> 00:10:10.499
  • Can you advise me as to which way would be the
  • 00:10:10.499 --> 00:10:13.002
  • Most humane way to dispose of myself and my
  • 00:10:13.002 --> 00:10:16.939
  • Family as this is about the only thing that i
  • 00:10:16.939 --> 00:10:19.809
  • See left to do?
  • 00:10:19.809 --> 00:10:23.312
  • So how would a compassionate,
  • 00:10:23.312 --> 00:10:24.714
  • Financially responsible president respond to such
  • 00:10:24.714 --> 00:10:27.383
  • A plea for help?
  • 00:10:27.383 --> 00:10:30.319
  • And send. excuse me, mr. president,
  • 00:10:30.319 --> 00:10:33.889
  • But no one seems to know what covefefe means.[laughter]
  • 00:10:33.889 --> 00:10:38.728
  • Oh my gosh.
  • 00:10:38.728 --> 00:10:39.662
  • Okay, let's try that again.
  • 00:10:39.662 --> 00:10:41.464
  • So how would a compassionate,
  • 00:10:41.464 --> 00:10:43.799
  • Financially responsible president respond to such
  • 00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:46.702
  • A plea for help?
  • 00:10:46.702 --> 00:10:48.137
  • Man, i'm on fire today.
  • 00:10:48.137 --> 00:10:50.139
  • Mr. president,
  • 00:10:50.139 --> 00:10:51.373
  • The press are confused about your new terms.
  • 00:10:51.373 --> 00:10:53.943
  • Of course they are.
  • 00:10:53.943 --> 00:10:55.010
  • What else is new?
  • 00:10:55.010 --> 00:10:56.112
  • They would like a little more clarity on your last
  • 00:10:56.112 --> 00:10:57.646
  • Messages, sir.
  • 00:10:57.646 --> 00:10:59.181
  • Clarity.
  • 00:10:59.181 --> 00:11:00.116
  • I'm the most clearer president ever.
  • 00:11:00.116 --> 00:11:02.418
  • What about, what does fera, wpa, kwa mean?
  • 00:11:02.418 --> 00:11:07.723
  • Are you even speaking english?
  • 00:11:07.723 --> 00:11:14.430
  • Acronyms.
  • 00:11:14.430 --> 00:11:17.233
  • Oh. oh.
  • 00:11:17.233 --> 00:11:19.869
  • The new deal brought us a ton of new acronyms like
  • 00:11:19.869 --> 00:11:22.938
  • The federal emergency relief administration,
  • 00:11:22.938 --> 00:11:26.375
  • The public works administration, the civil
  • 00:11:26.375 --> 00:11:29.245
  • Works administration, all supported by the acronym
  • 00:11:29.245 --> 00:11:32.982
  • In chief, fdr.
  • 00:11:32.982 --> 00:11:34.850
  • The president wants to do something big,
  • 00:11:34.850 --> 00:11:37.486
  • Really big.
  • 00:11:37.486 --> 00:11:40.055
  • He's expanded the federal government by a
  • 00:11:40.055 --> 00:11:41.290
  • Hundred fold.
  • 00:11:41.290 --> 00:11:43.159
  • A big fan of big government peter.
  • 00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:45.728
  • In fact, i have a quote from him.
  • 00:11:45.728 --> 00:11:49.298
  • The federal government is the only agency with
  • 00:11:49.298 --> 00:11:51.600
  • Sufficient power to meet the situation.
  • 00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:54.069
  • It is the duty of the united states to give
  • 00:11:54.069 --> 00:11:57.339
  • Employment to all of these three and a half
  • 00:11:57.339 --> 00:11:59.275
  • Million people now on relief.
  • 00:11:59.275 --> 00:12:01.544
  • This is the method to meet this problem
  • 00:12:01.544 --> 00:12:03.813
  • Of unemployment.
  • 00:12:03.813 --> 00:12:05.114
  • We have assumed this task and we shall not shrink
  • 00:12:05.114 --> 00:12:08.450
  • From it in the future.
  • 00:12:08.450 --> 00:12:09.952
  • All emergency public works shall be united in
  • 00:12:09.952 --> 00:12:12.288
  • A single new and greatly enlarged plan.
  • 00:12:12.288 --> 00:12:17.026
  • So what did all these fancy new agencies do for
  • 00:12:17.026 --> 00:12:19.528
  • The american people?
  • 00:12:19.528 --> 00:12:21.163
  • It got us working again.
  • 00:12:21.163 --> 00:12:23.866
  • Hardworking americans built schools and skating
  • 00:12:23.866 --> 00:12:26.168
  • Rinks, hundreds of airport hangers,
  • 00:12:26.168 --> 00:12:29.004
  • Thousands of miles of bridges, tunnels,
  • 00:12:29.004 --> 00:12:32.141
  • Drainage, ditches, hundreds of water
  • 00:12:32.141 --> 00:12:34.443
  • Treatment plants, thousands of via ducts.
  • 00:12:34.443 --> 00:12:37.213
  • Over 12,000 playgrounds.
  • 00:12:37.213 --> 00:12:40.883
  • The government even hired artists, authors, actors
  • 00:12:40.883 --> 00:12:44.220
  • To do whatever it is they do.
  • 00:12:44.220 --> 00:12:48.357
  • Of course, all of this was super expensive, but
  • 00:12:48.357 --> 00:12:52.127
  • It did make a big economic difference and
  • 00:12:52.127 --> 00:12:54.797
  • It boosted the morale of the country.
  • 00:12:54.797 --> 00:12:57.900
  • I'd rather stay out here in that ditch
  • 00:12:57.900 --> 00:13:00.903
  • Than take 1 cent in
  • 00:13:00.903 --> 00:13:02.838
  • Direct relief.
  • 00:13:02.838 --> 00:13:04.573
  • Turns out, unlike today's social media influencers,
  • 00:13:04.573 --> 00:13:08.744
  • Americans in the 1930's actually wanted to work.
  • 00:13:08.744 --> 00:13:12.548
  • Take that, social media. in order to learn more about
  • 00:13:12.548 --> 00:13:15.584
  • Fdr and the original maga movement,
  • 00:13:15.584 --> 00:13:18.721
  • We need to talk to judy berdy in new york city
  • 00:13:18.721 --> 00:13:21.323
  • Right here on roosevelt island.
  • 00:13:21.323 --> 00:13:23.726
  • Our story starts with the great depression.
  • 00:13:23.726 --> 00:13:26.095
  • Kind of walk us through just how bad the great
  • 00:13:26.095 --> 00:13:28.497
  • Depression was for the american people.
  • 00:13:28.497 --> 00:13:30.299
  • Well, the great depression was bad
  • 00:13:30.299 --> 00:13:31.934
  • Because our financial institutions were in
  • 00:13:31.934 --> 00:13:34.336
  • Very bad shape.
  • 00:13:34.336 --> 00:13:35.905
  • Our agriculture was in terrible shape because we
  • 00:13:35.905 --> 00:13:38.807
  • Had droughts and the midwest and the farm
  • 00:13:38.807 --> 00:13:41.510
  • Belts were devastated and people had no work.
  • 00:13:41.510 --> 00:13:45.381
  • They had no jobs and our administrations were not
  • 00:13:45.381 --> 00:13:48.617
  • Focusing on the people.
  • 00:13:48.617 --> 00:13:51.654
  • So franklin d. roosevelt was elected president and
  • 00:13:51.654 --> 00:13:54.723
  • Immediately he set about changing the way
  • 00:13:54.723 --> 00:13:59.695
  • We do business.
  • 00:13:59.695 --> 00:14:01.263
  • He strengthened the banking laws because a
  • 00:14:01.263 --> 00:14:03.565
  • Lot of banks would just go broke and everyone--
  • 00:14:03.565 --> 00:14:05.634
  • There was no insurance and people would lose all
  • 00:14:05.634 --> 00:14:07.736
  • Their savings.
  • 00:14:07.736 --> 00:14:09.471
  • He regulated the stock market so that you could
  • 00:14:09.471 --> 00:14:12.641
  • Not do trading without financial backing.
  • 00:14:12.641 --> 00:14:17.112
  • People would just like betting on it.
  • 00:14:17.112 --> 00:14:19.581
  • And he also started a lot of the works, progress
  • 00:14:19.581 --> 00:14:22.584
  • Administration, civilian conservation corps, which
  • 00:14:22.584 --> 00:14:25.020
  • You build on national parks, clean up our
  • 00:14:25.020 --> 00:14:26.956
  • Parks, all kinds of work projects.
  • 00:14:26.956 --> 00:14:29.591
  • He also ended prohibition, which
  • 00:14:29.591 --> 00:14:32.494
  • Was very good.
  • 00:14:32.494 --> 00:14:33.762
  • Well, it brought revenue because you pay taxes on
  • 00:14:33.762 --> 00:14:36.065
  • Your liquor.
  • 00:14:36.065 --> 00:14:37.032
  • I bet people were really happy about that.
  • 00:14:37.032 --> 00:14:39.368
  • Yes, and if you go to any post
  • 00:14:39.368 --> 00:14:41.770
  • Office, you'll see many of them were built
  • 00:14:41.770 --> 00:14:43.439
  • Between 1935 and 1940.
  • 00:14:43.439 --> 00:14:46.608
  • Many of them were started and wpa projects.
  • 00:14:46.608 --> 00:14:49.912
  • He also built some model communities and they
  • 00:14:49.912 --> 00:14:53.015
  • Would have strict guidelines as who could
  • 00:14:53.015 --> 00:14:54.984
  • Live there.
  • 00:14:54.984 --> 00:14:56.051
  • You had to be mom, dad, and two kids.
  • 00:14:56.051 --> 00:14:58.454
  • Also, mom was not allowed to work.
  • 00:14:58.454 --> 00:15:00.756
  • And unfortunately, most of them were very segregated
  • 00:15:00.756 --> 00:15:03.092
  • And it was a time before integration and they
  • 00:15:03.092 --> 00:15:06.628
  • Didn't think that way.
  • 00:15:06.628 --> 00:15:08.964
  • I think it's safe to say that roosevelt is one of
  • 00:15:08.964 --> 00:15:11.467
  • The most politically influential presidents.
  • 00:15:11.467 --> 00:15:13.702
  • Oh, sure.
  • 00:15:13.702 --> 00:15:14.670
  • How did the new deal kind of change
  • 00:15:14.670 --> 00:15:16.205
  • Political philosophy?
  • 00:15:16.205 --> 00:15:17.873
  • I don't know if we've had any
  • 00:15:17.873 --> 00:15:19.908
  • President since him that has put so many projects
  • 00:15:19.908 --> 00:15:23.212
  • Into improve our country, except lyndon baines johnson.
  • 00:15:23.212 --> 00:15:27.516
  • Our housing was built under hud housing and
  • 00:15:27.516 --> 00:15:29.518
  • Urban development.
  • 00:15:29.518 --> 00:15:30.886
  • A lot of the great society programs in the
  • 00:15:30.886 --> 00:15:33.722
  • 1960's were based on the same kind of projects to
  • 00:15:33.722 --> 00:15:37.126
  • Get middle people up and out and working and
  • 00:15:37.126 --> 00:15:40.195
  • Building new communities.
  • 00:15:40.195 --> 00:15:42.264
  • So the island you live on, what's the name of it?
  • 00:15:42.264 --> 00:15:44.333
  • Franklin d. roosevelt island.
  • 00:15:44.333 --> 00:15:46.568
  • Franklin d roosevelt island.
  • 00:15:46.568 --> 00:15:48.203
  • The indians called it mini hanock.
  • 00:15:48.203 --> 00:15:50.606
  • When the dutch owned new york, they called it varkins
  • 00:15:50.606 --> 00:15:53.742
  • Island, which means hog island, then
  • 00:15:53.742 --> 00:15:56.879
  • Blackwell's island.
  • 00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:58.747
  • Unfortunately, it was notorious for prison,
  • 00:15:58.747 --> 00:16:01.216
  • Lunatic asylum, penitentiary, hospitals,
  • 00:16:01.216 --> 00:16:04.153
  • And a little bit of our sorted past.
  • 00:16:04.153 --> 00:16:08.457
  • Unfortunately, the sorted past is all real history.
  • 00:16:08.457 --> 00:16:11.894
  • Absolutely.
  • 00:16:11.894 --> 00:16:13.595
  • And 1921, the hospitals and other institutions
  • 00:16:13.595 --> 00:16:17.766
  • Here demanded that the name be changed because
  • 00:16:17.766 --> 00:16:20.402
  • Blackwell's island was so infamous that they
  • 00:16:20.402 --> 00:16:23.338
  • Changed the name to welfare island.
  • 00:16:23.338 --> 00:16:26.041
  • Now in 1920's, welfare was a fine name.
  • 00:16:26.041 --> 00:16:28.644
  • And in 1973 when our new community was being
  • 00:16:28.644 --> 00:16:31.380
  • Developed, they then said, i'm not going to
  • 00:16:31.380 --> 00:16:35.451
  • Buy an apartment on welfare island. we changed it
  • 00:16:35.451 --> 00:16:38.720
  • To franklin g roosevelt island.
  • 00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:44.226
  • We're over the halfway point of our show now,
  • 00:16:44.226 --> 00:16:45.828
  • And i'm only telling you this because it's a segue
  • 00:16:45.828 --> 00:16:48.530
  • For us to talk about the midpoint of the 1930's.
  • 00:16:48.530 --> 00:16:52.301
  • Right in the middle of the decade, a pretty huge
  • 00:16:53.335 --> 00:16:55.471
  • Historical event took place all the way
  • 00:16:55.471 --> 00:16:58.240
  • Over in germany.
  • 00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:00.409
  • Now stick with me because i'm going to
  • 00:17:00.409 --> 00:17:01.910
  • Connect the dots.
  • 00:17:01.910 --> 00:17:03.479
  • The great depression wasn't just limited to
  • 00:17:03.479 --> 00:17:05.614
  • The united states.
  • 00:17:05.614 --> 00:17:06.815
  • It was a global economic downturn.
  • 00:17:06.815 --> 00:17:09.384
  • The crash of the us stock market was just
  • 00:17:09.384 --> 00:17:11.487
  • The beginning.
  • 00:17:11.487 --> 00:17:13.088
  • The first domino, if you will.
  • 00:17:13.088 --> 00:17:14.590
  • It was the largest depression in the 20th
  • 00:17:14.590 --> 00:17:17.226
  • Century for london, same for france.
  • 00:17:17.226 --> 00:17:20.362
  • Spain's exports of olive oil and wine fell to all
  • 00:17:20.362 --> 00:17:23.632
  • Time lows, and there was mass unemployment across
  • 00:17:23.632 --> 00:17:27.302
  • Finland and sweden, but germany, they were hit
  • 00:17:27.302 --> 00:17:30.339
  • Really hard.
  • 00:17:30.339 --> 00:17:31.607
  • The widespread unemployment, famine and
  • 00:17:31.607 --> 00:17:33.742
  • Misery led to the rise of the 20th century's
  • 00:17:33.742 --> 00:17:36.545
  • Greatest super villain, adolf hitler.
  • 00:17:36.545 --> 00:17:42.985
  • Looking so good.
  • 00:17:42.985 --> 00:17:44.853
  • Not that hand. higher.
  • 00:17:44.853 --> 00:17:49.258
  • Yes, up higher.
  • 00:17:49.258 --> 00:17:50.559
  • Look higher.
  • 00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:51.727
  • The 1936 olympic games were going to be held
  • 00:17:51.727 --> 00:17:53.362
  • In germany.
  • 00:17:53.362 --> 00:17:54.763
  • And for adolf hitler image was everything.
  • 00:17:54.763 --> 00:17:57.900
  • He was going to use this opportunity to make a big
  • 00:17:57.900 --> 00:18:00.035
  • Impact on the world.
  • 00:18:00.035 --> 00:18:02.104
  • Lucky for you
  • 00:18:02.104 --> 00:18:03.038
  • We have actual footage of their olympic
  • 00:18:03.038 --> 00:18:05.707
  • Brainstorming session.
  • 00:18:05.707 --> 00:18:07.276
  • Roll tape.
  • 00:18:07.276 --> 00:18:10.746
  • The world has to remember hitler for hosting the best
  • 00:18:10.746 --> 00:18:12.781
  • Olympic games ever.
  • 00:18:12.781 --> 00:18:16.318
  • Or we shoots them.
  • 00:18:16.318 --> 00:18:17.853
  • No, no, no.
  • 00:18:17.853 --> 00:18:18.720
  • I want to show my softer side.
  • 00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:21.690
  • So we hangs them by the thread.
  • 00:18:21.690 --> 00:18:24.393
  • Precisely.
  • 00:18:24.393 --> 00:18:26.895
  • And we must show the world that germany is strong
  • 00:18:26.895 --> 00:18:29.064
  • And capable like a zebra.
  • 00:18:29.064 --> 00:18:31.200
  • Yes, exactly.
  • 00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:32.467
  • But only white striped with blue eyes.
  • 00:18:32.467 --> 00:18:35.404
  • But mr. hitless, if you say
  • 00:18:35.404 --> 00:18:36.738
  • Things like that, some would think you are racist.
  • 00:18:36.738 --> 00:18:40.008
  • But we are the good kind of racist, and
  • 00:18:40.008 --> 00:18:42.211
  • We will show them and those suckers when we
  • 00:18:42.211 --> 00:18:45.113
  • Beat their multicolored butts on the
  • 00:18:45.113 --> 00:18:46.782
  • Right sports field.
  • 00:18:46.782 --> 00:18:49.851
  • So hitler and his all white, not a jew in sight
  • 00:18:49.851 --> 00:18:53.222
  • Team of athletes are ready to show their
  • 00:18:53.222 --> 00:18:55.457
  • Racial superiority on the world stage.
  • 00:18:55.457 --> 00:18:58.694
  • I mean, how could such a perfectly diabolical
  • 00:18:58.694 --> 00:19:01.029
  • Plan fail?
  • 00:19:01.029 --> 00:19:02.231
  • Am i right?
  • 00:19:02.231 --> 00:19:04.166
  • Enter jesse owens.
  • 00:19:04.166 --> 00:19:06.435
  • Jesse owens was the youngest and definitely
  • 00:19:06.435 --> 00:19:08.870
  • Fastest of 10 kids from an all-american family
  • 00:19:08.870 --> 00:19:11.807
  • From alabama and ohio.
  • 00:19:11.807 --> 00:19:13.642
  • And in the 1936 olympics, jesse would race hitler's
  • 00:19:13.642 --> 00:19:17.112
  • Quote, superior race of athletes and totally
  • 00:19:17.112 --> 00:19:20.215
  • Kick their butts.
  • 00:19:20.215 --> 00:19:22.184
  • Roll tape.
  • 00:19:22.184 --> 00:19:24.052
  • I mean, jesse annihilated any chance germany had of
  • 00:19:24.052 --> 00:19:27.656
  • Proving their white superiority.
  • 00:19:27.656 --> 00:19:31.526
  • So much for that plan.
  • 00:19:31.627 --> 00:19:33.929
  • Hitler was so mad, it was rumored that he wouldn't
  • 00:19:33.929 --> 00:19:36.231
  • Even shake jesse's hand.
  • 00:19:36.231 --> 00:19:38.767
  • And once again, we have actual footage.
  • 00:19:38.767 --> 00:19:44.139
  • ♪♪
  • 00:19:44.139 --> 00:19:50.679
  • I tell you this story for a few reasons.
  • 00:19:50.679 --> 00:19:52.447
  • First, it happened in the 1930's and is
  • 00:19:52.447 --> 00:19:54.416
  • Totally awesome.
  • 00:19:54.416 --> 00:19:55.717
  • And second, well, we'll get to that in a minute.
  • 00:19:55.717 --> 00:19:58.520
  • Back to the new deal.
  • 00:19:58.520 --> 00:20:01.256
  • The government was spending money, americans
  • 00:20:01.256 --> 00:20:03.225
  • Were working, blah, blah, yada, yada.
  • 00:20:03.225 --> 00:20:05.661
  • You might even say the jobs multiplied like a
  • 00:20:05.661 --> 00:20:07.696
  • Litter of rabbits.
  • 00:20:07.696 --> 00:20:09.331
  • America was working again and it felt great.
  • 00:20:09.331 --> 00:20:13.635
  • Morale was boosted.
  • 00:20:13.635 --> 00:20:15.304
  • There was more food on the table, and all of
  • 00:20:15.304 --> 00:20:17.205
  • These public works projects gave america a
  • 00:20:17.205 --> 00:20:20.375
  • Beautiful facelift.
  • 00:20:20.375 --> 00:20:22.944
  • It also expanded the power of the federal
  • 00:20:22.944 --> 00:20:24.446
  • Government like never before. before the 1930's, the
  • 00:20:24.446 --> 00:20:29.818
  • Government stuck to the basics, paving roads,
  • 00:20:29.818 --> 00:20:32.921
  • Paying for public schools and funding the military,
  • 00:20:32.921 --> 00:20:36.224
  • The basics.
  • 00:20:36.224 --> 00:20:38.193
  • But now the government was into banking,
  • 00:20:38.193 --> 00:20:40.696
  • Building healthcare, pensions, job creation,
  • 00:20:40.696 --> 00:20:45.634
  • Housing, and basically everything else.
  • 00:20:45.634 --> 00:20:51.039
  • One of the greatest legacies of fdr's new deal
  • 00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:53.308
  • Might just be a huge shift in political philosophy.
  • 00:20:53.308 --> 00:20:57.446
  • After the new deal, americans began looking
  • 00:20:57.446 --> 00:20:59.848
  • To the federal government for the health of the
  • 00:20:59.848 --> 00:21:03.018
  • Economy and the welfare of its citizens.
  • 00:21:03.018 --> 00:21:05.821
  • And for better or worse, that trend continues today.
  • 00:21:05.821 --> 00:21:08.590
  • In 1930, entitlement spending made up about 2%
  • 00:21:08.590 --> 00:21:12.761
  • Of the nation's budget.
  • 00:21:12.761 --> 00:21:14.930
  • But today, entitlement programs like medicare
  • 00:21:14.930 --> 00:21:17.466
  • And social security consume about 51% of all
  • 00:21:17.466 --> 00:21:22.070
  • Federal spending.
  • 00:21:22.070 --> 00:21:24.039
  • That's a lot of dough.
  • 00:21:24.039 --> 00:21:27.275
  • So i know you guys are just dying to know the
  • 00:21:27.275 --> 00:21:29.077
  • Answer to the big question, right?
  • 00:21:29.077 --> 00:21:32.047
  • Did the new deal work?
  • 00:21:32.047 --> 00:21:34.383
  • Did it make america great again?
  • 00:21:34.383 --> 00:21:36.118
  • Did it end the great depression?
  • 00:21:36.118 --> 00:21:39.654
  • Turns out, not really.
  • 00:21:39.654 --> 00:21:42.557
  • Yes, the new deal had some great successes, but
  • 00:21:42.557 --> 00:21:44.760
  • Generally historians don't credit the new deal
  • 00:21:44.760 --> 00:21:48.096
  • With ending the great depression.
  • 00:21:48.096 --> 00:21:50.132
  • So what did? well, remember the 1936
  • 00:21:50.132 --> 00:21:54.703
  • Olympics? in the 1930's while we were climbing
  • 00:21:54.703 --> 00:21:58.640
  • Our way out of the great depression, germany was
  • 00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:00.642
  • Building a war machine and america didn't
  • 00:22:00.642 --> 00:22:03.412
  • Really care.
  • 00:22:03.412 --> 00:22:04.980
  • After all, that could never affect us.
  • 00:22:04.980 --> 00:22:07.149
  • Right?
  • 00:22:07.149 --> 00:22:08.483
  • Fast forward to december 7th, 1941, pearl harbor.
  • 00:22:08.483 --> 00:22:14.356
  • When the japanese attacked, america was
  • 00:22:14.356 --> 00:22:18.994
  • Dragged into the war, and president roosevelt did
  • 00:22:18.994 --> 00:22:21.963
  • What he did best.
  • 00:22:21.963 --> 00:22:23.465
  • He inspired the american people.
  • 00:22:23.465 --> 00:22:27.202
  • No matter how long it may take us to
  • 00:22:27.202 --> 00:22:30.939
  • Overcome this premeditated invasion,
  • 00:22:30.939 --> 00:22:35.310
  • The american people in their righteous might
  • 00:22:35.310 --> 00:22:38.547
  • Will win through to absolute victory.
  • 00:22:38.547 --> 00:22:42.818
  • Americans took the message to heart and we
  • 00:22:42.818 --> 00:22:45.487
  • Got to work even harder.
  • 00:22:45.487 --> 00:22:47.989
  • World is at war.
  • 00:22:47.989 --> 00:22:49.458
  • What does this mean for the american people?
  • 00:22:49.458 --> 00:22:52.294
  • The president wants the american people to work
  • 00:22:52.294 --> 00:22:54.129
  • Even harder.
  • 00:22:54.129 --> 00:22:57.265
  • Tanks need to be built, bombers and bombs.
  • 00:22:57.265 --> 00:22:59.167
  • We need war planes, ammunition, silk parachutes.
  • 00:22:59.167 --> 00:23:01.970
  • Who's going to do all this work?
  • 00:23:01.970 --> 00:23:04.172
  • All americans, even those who have struggled to
  • 00:23:04.172 --> 00:23:07.409
  • Find work, this is the place for you now.
  • 00:23:07.409 --> 00:23:10.745
  • We need everyone, young and old,
  • 00:23:10.745 --> 00:23:12.848
  • African-americans, teenagers, and yes, yes,
  • 00:23:12.848 --> 00:23:15.784
  • Even women.
  • 00:23:15.784 --> 00:23:21.356
  • The american war machine effectively ended
  • 00:23:21.356 --> 00:23:23.792
  • Unemployment and classes of people who'd usually
  • 00:23:23.792 --> 00:23:26.761
  • Have difficulty finding work like
  • 00:23:26.761 --> 00:23:29.598
  • African-americans, teenagers and women were
  • 00:23:29.598 --> 00:23:31.900
  • Now gainfully employed.
  • 00:23:31.900 --> 00:23:34.069
  • The new deal didn't necessarily end the great
  • 00:23:34.069 --> 00:23:37.672
  • Depression, but it did prepare us to enter and
  • 00:23:37.672 --> 00:23:41.510
  • Win the second world war.
  • 00:23:41.510 --> 00:23:43.545
  • And when our boys came home in 1945, the great
  • 00:23:43.545 --> 00:23:46.581
  • Depression was a distant memory.
  • 00:23:46.581 --> 00:23:51.353
  • President roosevelt looms large over american history.
  • 00:23:51.353 --> 00:23:53.989
  • He's known as one of the greatest presidents we've
  • 00:23:53.989 --> 00:23:56.024
  • Ever had, and rightfully so.
  • 00:23:56.024 --> 00:23:58.293
  • He made our nation look great again.
  • 00:23:58.293 --> 00:24:01.663
  • In his era, some of our greatest landmarks were
  • 00:24:01.663 --> 00:24:03.999
  • Built like the hoover dam,
  • 00:24:03.999 --> 00:24:06.601
  • And these guys right here. president roosevelt
  • 00:24:06.601 --> 00:24:11.239
  • Presided over two of the greatest crises america
  • 00:24:11.239 --> 00:24:13.808
  • Ever faced, the great depression and world war ii.
  • 00:24:13.808 --> 00:24:17.979
  • And sadly, he didn't live to see the end of the war.
  • 00:24:17.979 --> 00:24:21.283
  • The toll of being commander in chief, plus
  • 00:24:21.283 --> 00:24:22.951
  • His lifelong struggle with polio had finally
  • 00:24:22.951 --> 00:24:25.287
  • Worn him down.
  • 00:24:25.287 --> 00:24:27.255
  • Wait, i did mention fdr had polio, right?
  • 00:24:27.255 --> 00:24:30.825
  • So you might've noticed that president roosevelt
  • 00:24:30.825 --> 00:24:34.396
  • Was always photographed sitting down.
  • 00:24:34.396 --> 00:24:37.032
  • He never wanted to be seen in a wheelchair for
  • 00:24:37.032 --> 00:24:39.100
  • Fear of being considered weak or incapable.
