 Next up on MusicRS, rapper Cool Jeff U tells it like it was in the Roosevelt rap. March 17th in 1905, Franklin took Eleanor to be his bride. Had the same last name, but that don't mean nothing. They were far enough apart, they were with cuttings. How'd he get started in politics? He ran for state senate from the Dutchess County sticks. A Democrat from these parts was rare to see, but the FDR made it to all the need. Then he backed Wilson at the National Convention, was the move that proved to make a valuable connection. Wilson was president when they came to gravy, he appointed FDR to the secretary of the Navy. Then in 1920, just for kicks, FDR made his return to politics. Number two upon a ticket with a man named Cox, not enough people amongst the Democratic Fox. Making it in politics is tough, you know, but not as tough as dealing with polio. Now Franklin had a homegirl, they called her E.R., sent her off on trips both near and far. Telling everybody that Franklin would be back, wouldn't be stopped by a polio attack. Everyone around said, hey, that's great, they elected him to governor of New York State. Seems pretty easy, not dozen yet, but it couldn't have happened without Al Smith. Things around the nation were going pretty fine, and it wasn't until October of 1929. Hoover seemed as sensitive as if he didn't care, his relief was around the corner, but the statement didn't square. Franklin had a comma touch, he knew how people feel, he spoke at the convention, pledged them a new deal. People were beside themselves, they knew not what to do, it wasn't until November of 1932. They elected Franklin president from Provincenera Park, didn't take the reins of power until early March. And he wasted not a moment to bring us from Malaise, passed the legislative legislation just a hundred days. He was helping all the people, by themselves and in groups with a recipe of programs, some called Alphabet Soup. A-A-A-C-C-C and the N-L-R-B-N-R-A-B-O-B and the F-B-I-C-T-B-A-N-R-C-W-P-A. He did it all, he went too far, some Republicans would say, you might think that I forgot in Alphabet Flurry SSI, I did not. Social security was ahead of his time, but I almost left it out, cause it's so hard to rhyme. Try it out, and you'll see it's not an easy thing to do. If I had been FDR, it had been in term two. G-W had won when his term was at an end, avoiding tangling alliances if you can. The American public took this to heart, FDR knew different, he was way too smart. Well it worked for a while, but you give them an inch and they should have taken a mile. Soon England was clinging, just by its toes, so Frank and Tudor's recipe would have garden hosed. All of a sudden, the war across the sea was brought to our door and a day in for me. It took the army, the Air Force, the Navy and Marines, and the factories back home. Roads he took to the machines, they grew gardens, bought war bonds, collected up scraps, put on part hard and pushed them all back. Hitler, Hirohito, Mussonini were the Axis leaders, but we had the big three. Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin too, were the Allied leaders who won World War II. I forgot to mention Fallow was a man's best friend. In December 45, the war came to an end. Frank didn't see it, for on April 12, he died. That's not even mentioned, he was dead at his side. There's been a story, FDR's life, vision of the United Nations carried on by his wife. Two were finally arrested in the grave at his home, and the garden where the roses' name was still grown. Perlerens was known as FDR's filmmaker and produced award-winning documentary films such as The Plough that Brokes the Plains and the River. The Perlerens Film Center with the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum is proud to uphold this legacy.
