there's a link to john james audubon and roosevelt. young teddy roosevelt had asthma. he was very sickly. from eight years old onward he was obsessed with birds. he created his own roosevelt museum, brian. he had -- theater roosevelt's father was a founder of the american museum of natural history in new york. young teddy became a bird lover. the first document we have of him as a young boy was about birds. the last article he wrote before his death at age 60 was about to birds. i'm not saying he just liked them. he was one of the world's experts on coloration and variation and inventorying what we have. he created 51 federer oberg reservations. today are the heart and soul of u.s. fish and wildlife. -- created 51 federal bird reservations. trying to state secrets and pelicans, etc. on both coasts. >> explain where this conservation training center is located. >> we are in west virginia in shepherdstown. it's a beautiful campus. if the archive where i did research because they have the papers not just of early conservationists like roosevelt cars and in the 1960's work

back even a portion of roosevelt conservation legacy, roosevelt was inflamed. the bull move party is created in large pot over roosevelt bobeing angry about taft not protecting conservation areas. >> there was a question about what he was going to do next in 1908? >> they do get together. he believed in taft a lot during his presidency. that is why he was feeling roosevelt could have won another term easily. he had other things to do, so he relinquished power. he left the presidency to explore and to collect. he was collecting for the american museum of natural history. he went to brazil to collect what is today rio roosevelt. your listeners, i cannot express how much this vote was so he was. he did not have a conservation policy, he was the top naturalist. if one of the five top nnaturalists of his time. this was his chosen profession. he saw himself as the bridge between the laboratory scientist and the public imagination. he more to james damour cooper outdoors tales with a hard science of darwin. his role was to sell it to the american people. -- james fenn

you're looking at roosevelt reserves, roosevelt monuments. he put aside almost 240 million acres of wild america. now as people are talking about environmentism and green movements, roosevelt is becoming the key figure to understand because he was the only politician of his day who had absorbed darwin and who had understood biology and understood birds' migratory patterns and understood mating habits of dear and elk and antelope and actually did something. he is the president who in his young days shot a buffalo and he is the president who created wichita mountains in oklahoma reserve for buffalo and one up in montana. >> one of the things you see throughout this center are stuffed animals. >> well, tax determiney -- roosevelt was trained in the arm of taxidermy. his teacher in new york was john bell who had been an audubon student. there was a linkage between them and young t.r. had asthma. he was very sickly. really from 8 years old on wards, he was obsessed with birds. he created his own roosevelt museum, brian. his father, theodore roosev

roosevelt was the promoter. taft fell into line as a conservation foot soldier and was one of the reasons he felt comfortable picking taft. taft had spent time in the philippines. when taft breaks on conservation with roosevelt, taft was finished. >> what i was getting at when he was asked about whether he wanted to be a president of the united states or a sue presume court justice. >> he preferred to be a supreme court justice than being president. >> his wife wanted him to be president >> nelly wanted him to be president. and interestingly enough at the taft inaugural in 1909, there was a blizzard and it was one of the worst weathers for inaugural. and roosevelt in typical fashion calls it, it's the roosevelt blizzard history will now. no, no, it's my blizzard. i'm the one already. already there was a clash going on on egos because roosevelt was myth making all the time and even the blizzard, most of us would say terrible weather for the inaugural, roosevelt turns it into the media has the heroic roosevelt bli

roosevelt knew everything. as president, roosevelt did not just know about gray wolves or cougars, he was the world's authority on them. in a scientific way. george berger ird co-founded the boone and crockett club to save the game of america, to save buffalo, antelope, deer, terrible from being exterminated. they would commission articles and roosevelt would write this one right here on elko. you can just turn the pages. roosevelt got involved in bringing out the books. it was about gentleman hunters. they were working to save animals to shoot the animals. people have problems with that today. it was the hunters of america that formed the early conservation movement. it was done by field and forest magazine. field and stream magazine writer. all of the sporting journals that started putting in -- that you have to have bag limits, you have to put a fischbach if it has eggs. you have to not shoot a dove. -- you have to put a fish back, if it has eggs. at ohio university, a man there? read my chapters on george b

roosevelt knew everything. what i'd like people to understand is that as president, roosevelt didn't just know about gray wolves or cougars. he was the world's authority on them. and in a science way. george byrd grenl, an undersung hero of america, co-founded the boone and crockett club with roosevelt. it was specifically formed in the late 1880's out of new york to save the big game of america, to save buffalo, antelope, deer, caribou from being exterminated. they would commission articles and roosevelt would write them -- see, this one's on elk. these are great old books that roosevelt got very involved in bringing out these boone and crockett club books. it was about gentleman hunters. they were working to save animals to shoot animals. people have problems with that some today. but it was the hunters of america that really form the early conservation movement. it was done by field and forest magazine, and what became "field and stream" magazine, but all those sporting journals that started putting that you

. -- theodore roosevelt iv. teddy roosevelt believed in hunting, but he did not believe in global hunting so you make a species extinct. he cared about butterflies and wild flowers. he wanted to make sure we had a place for that in modern society. whatever people are learning in zimbabwe about wildlife protection or in australia, it is born out of roosevelt's presidency, the sensible and wildlife protection. >> how often in your research for this book did you go away from either a conversation or place and say, boy, they have not been doing their job? >> on the ground, you mean? >> did you ever get irritated by the attitude that somebody had in research or one of these federal agencies that keep all the stuff in libraries the what kind of mark do you give them?

roosevelt, and planting trees and trying to be like teddy roosevelt. and f.d.r. and others got involved. i am doing another volume. this book begins in 1858, at his birth, and end at the era of global warming. the time of now and through a multiple volume history. >> thank you. >> brian, thank you. >> from a history standpoint where did you find the artifacts and materials? >> that's a good question, most of the materials we have came from fish hatcheries from the field. almost everything is donated by field offices. so these historic things that doug brinkley has written about, were in garages and attics and suffering from deteriator. and once we opened an archive, it was filled in 10 years, so researchers can use them. >> the thing that motivates us is that rachel carlson and much of her materials went into the insenerator. and we will never let that happen again. >> who put them in the incinerator? >> they saw no value back then. >> put rachelcarlson in history? >> she plays with the american environmental movement. which has different concerns than

roosevelt is becoming the key figure. the only politician of the day to under darwin and birds migration patterns one of the things you see throughout this center are stuffed animals. >> tax determiney >> he was asthma and was sickly. his first document we have is about birds. the last article he wrote about his death at age 60 is about birds. he was one of the world's experts on coloration and varation, on inventorying what we had. he created these bird reservations. 51 that are now the heart and soul of u.s. fish and wild life. those watching don't realize it all began with the 51 conservation areas. >> tell us where you are located? >> about 90 minutes from washington. it's a beautiful campus. it's the archive where i did research. they have the papers not just of early conservation nivets i went to the places roosevelt saved. i would go to various bird places.wg they have local archives. one in michigan and arizona. i went to puerto rico to seat key national forest he saved. it's our only rain forest in our entire sy

(y a roosevelt blizzard roosevelt turns it in to the media. he was -- it was hard for taft to succeed. somebody ropes one and caught one. there was no fair chase. showing him not killing the bear. it became heir the tedy bear. >> dear mr. president, i'd like to make a bear called tedy bear. his response was i don't think there is much of a market he then made poss um stuffed toys he new taft was a bit of history then the 1912 raise that's an assassination attempt you don't hear much about. he went to give a speech in milwaukee. a crazed an arkift took a shot at him. he had always carried bird glasses with him. he had his case, metal-like case so he could see the coloration details. that's what the bullet hit. it wounded him but this is thinking if it hadn't gone through those bird watching glasses, he would have died. here he is bleeding, shot. much like when ronald reagan was shot, he becomes a follow being lore moment. why do you think people are so fass knitted by eagles or eagle northwests? >> it's easy to find. can you watch it live. jo i

and so my book isn't just about theodore roosevelt. it's about how we got to where this triumph story. we do have a great system. look at the map we have. we're not maintenancing properly due to not enough funding or wildlife refuge system. and commercialization is always encoaching on these. people don't like it in florida if you want to build a development. you mean i can't build a condo complex because of a panther? it's always that balance. >> how do we look to other countries? are there other countries doing the same thing we're doing? >> all around the world, theodore roosevelt was in my opinion the progenitor of the global wildlife projection movement. if he were alive today, it's like a cover of "time" magazine had lately, he would be fighting, as his great grandson, theodore roosevelt iv is right now, to save these great animals of the planet that we're losing. t.r. loved them. he was not what we call by modern terms a kind of wholistic -- he believed in hunting. he did not believe in hunting so you make a species extinct. so,

so theodore roosevelt as president would plant trees, even for corn. and back then you had to have trees around the corn. you had to keep a forest around it just to blunt winds. so the wildlife wasn't just about limits, or protecting animals. it had a mission of helping farmers and people living in the wild. and co-exist with nature that was economical and aesthetic. >> going back to the first time you decided to come to this facility. how did it happen? where did you find out that it existed? >> i wanted to begin my book with the birds that t.r. created, and the first was pelican island, florida. i went to it, and you can't walk on it. you can step on birds' nets. there are many off of our coast, pelican island, pelicans would come and breed and nest there. and they would all be in a cluster. but the women's institute wanted a feather for women's cap. so people would come and gun them all down. and they were massacring birds. there would be heaps of dead birds for a feather. we were losing species in florida. you think that the west was wild? florida

the roosevelt scholars who have written any number of books about elenore herself or franklin roosevelt have come all over the map on that subject and i'm curious as to what your views are on that relationship? >> it is actually a interesting relationship. when the two women met, frances perkins was a well known workplace safety advocate she was a famous suffrage leader. she had spoken all over the city on all kinds of controversial issues. she was a public figure. she was the pivotal person in the settlement house movement. at that time, about the 1910 s, eleanor was shy. she was retiring at that point. she did not know whether she believed in shah ridge or not. she was active in the settlement house movement but as a volunteer were frances perkins was a leader. at the time that they met frances perkins was the much more important person, and the present it was much more of a career woman. early on, the letters and seem to suggest eleanor leaned on france's. quite a bit in her early years as she prepared yourself in these remarkable ways. she grew in the ways that she did, she grew in

teddy roosevelt and was even a big surprise to the teddy roosevelt scholars that learned about it after i found it and discussed it with them. let me start by asking you all a question. how many of you have heard of frances perkins and know who she is? wow, that is great. okay. first of all this is wonderful. i have cud a great audience and i also have a fairly rare audience in that most people in america have no idea who frances perkins is, and i know that myself because when i started on this road to i didn't know who she was either. i came from a family that did not care much for roosevelt, and i kept stumbling across her name though again and again over the years, and finally it was almost like a doorbell that kept ringing and i had to go answer it. one of the things that i think is important though is that it is almost-- it is difficult to say all of the things that frances perkins did and i would like to start with the short reading here and it is just two pages. i won't try it out too long but they are too important pages because they will give you a sense of the breadth of the t

you do not compare what roosevelt did then and what bush does not. you have to find another president in the current era of terrorism to compare. so, the comparison is poor to begin with. host: they're using a national security issue taken through congress. caller: national security -- at 05 am answering your question and not -- national security is extremely important in both cases, but this is a whole new global situation. now we are being attacked from within and could be attacked more from within. i agree with what the previous caller said, whether your for or against obama, you have to listen to what the military and thesay. -- what they say. if you go to congress today there is a lot of political stuff. you will not come up with what is absolutely right because there will come up with what keeps them in office. the president has the power and ability to make a decision. you do not compare the tension to then. what did roosevelt do with the japanese? to put them into detention camps within this country. host: that is a good point. this page writ

roosevelt. did she have any role in this era of with truman? >> she was a u.n. delegate and one of two or three delegates who were against what was going on in the u.n. is was described with the state department. i would say she did play a very important role and also was close to truman. he really did listen to her and was influenced by her. her position is if you want a new u.n. to succeed how can you turn against partition when that was what the world voted for? that was our position. >> on the other hand publicly she was supposed to be chairman, during this period that the state department is engineering a big conspiracy to destroy partition, freda put together a huge dinner, rally with prominent speakers to protest the efforts of the state department to turn back partition and eleanor roosevelt was to be chairman of the meeting. and she put out the ad stop the state department conspiracy against jewish palestine. eleanor roosevelt said this is a grave embarrassment to the when the president

in that roosevelt ", he said -- in that roosevelt quote, he said the president should be a powerful man and watched by the people and tell to strict accountability. i am not sure he is right now, because i think congress has capitulated again and again, and i think gladly, the republicans do not much but they do not have the power to do anything about it at this point. it is in the nature of the president, the kind of person who runs for president, to seek more power. right now, he is going to continue to do that. the fourth thing is the people love him so the accountability is not there and the democrats in congress love him to the accountability is not there. the fourth reason is that it is the nature of people who run for president to watch that kind of power. once they get there, i think they change. the torture photos are a great example. it was very easy for him to argue during the campaign that everything needs to be out there. as president, when the defense department cans to him and says people could die -- when the defense department comes to him as a people could die if you s

roosevelt knew that money and power were too often flanked by dishonesty and self-dealing. it is perhaps no coincidence that he created the fbi just one year later. today i want to talk about the fbi's role in combating white-collar crime. we'll talk about the need for integrity in the marketplace, in the boardroom and in government. and we will touch on our distinct roles in this ethical calculus. in the wake of september 11, counterterrorism became the fbi's top priority. and yet at the same time, we were confronted with a rash of corporate wrongdoing, from enron to worldcom, to qwest. we have to prioritize, and we did. today we continue to balance the risk of terrorist attack, as evidenced by the plan to talk attacks against a growing risk to our economy and our communities from financial fraud and violent crime as well. unfortunately, we do not have the personnel to investigate every criminal threat. we must focus our limited resources where we have the most impact. in los angeles or miami or example we might shift resources to combat gang activities. in chicago to orga

. >> people to not want to think of roosevelt's policy as a passion. president theodore roosevelt was on a mission to save the west. >> now is people are talking about environmentalism and green movement, roosevelt is becoming the key figure to understand that he was the only politician of his day that understood biology and birds migratory pattern and mating habits of deer and elk and antelope and actually did something. sunday on "q&a" douglas brinkley talked about the wilderness warrior. president obama has announced a number of changes to the financial regulatory system. the the plan would dismantle large financial companies and for the first time into was regulations on certain types of transactions. this is 20 minutes. >> i administration has an extraordinary response to a historic economic crisis. we have taken action to repair our economy and working hard to build a new foundation for sustained economic growth. this will not be easy. this recession is not the result of one failure but many. many of the toughest challenges we face are the produc

franklin roosevelt understood that america was not really ready to go to war. he took its step-by-step into the second world war. when did you sense it was the right moment? just the politics of it. i would like to talk with him about some of the stories, these great political stores. lyndon johnson, you know. the stories about lyndon johnson are just remarkable. it is like something mark twain would read. those are the kinds of things i would like to talk about. host: bob schieffer, we appreciate your time in graciousness for appearing on this network. guest: thank you, steve. host: please come back again. the house and senate are both in session today. two house committees are looking at the cost of health care. it will likely be a driving topic today. the president will go to the brady briefing room at 12:30 at we will have live coverage. we will also have coverage on line and on the radio. see you tomorrow. enjoy the rest of your tuesday. have a good day.

the first democrat to do so since franklin roosevelt. in his second term, he accomplishes what appears to be impossible. the passage of a balanced budget that provides the nation with the first surplus in 30 years. those successes, products of a startling different brand of democratic politics, begin to see progress is the world over. he begins a global dialogue with british prime minister tony blair and a host of other leaders. the third wave movement. the new democratic movement and continues to emerge in the new century, developing a deeper vaults of new ideas and talent. a new generation of leaders claims the mantle of reform, proving that ideas matter more than ever hillary rodham clinton -- more than ever. hillary rodham clinton, gen and appalling tunnel, bill richardson, bill ritter, can salazar, mark warner, and dlc leaders all make their mark on the national spotlight. the new dlc chairman harold ford, jr. continues to speak out as one of the nation's up and coming senators. rahm emanuel leads democrats back into the majority on

it reminds me of what roosevelt did. i think he's doing a fantastic job.ant to address the ignorance that has been portrayed from some of the previous callers. first of all, what the president does, his hands are somewhat tied. he's not a dictator to come in here and say that is how it will be and that's it, everybody has to follow suit. our country doesn't work like that, which is what separates us from dictatorships. people thinking, he will say all right no gay marriage. that is not going to happen. to me, it is the separation between something critical in the u.s. something like separation between church and state. host: we have to stop there because we are running out of time for this segment. when we come back we will discuss charter schools with nelson smith with the national alliance for charter schools. we will be right back. >> roosevelt put aside 240 acres of wild america. now people talk about environmentalism and green movement, roosevelt is becoming the key figure to understand that he was the only politician of his day to absorb darwin and u

starts to begin with roosevelt but they're interested rather public was but abraham lincoln took what he called the opinion bath he would have people come through the warehouse and each week he said that was the most viable time i spent because he planted to try to hold the union together and to do that he had two empathetic, understand the southcom the border states permit and keep with the union and understanding slave holding parts of the country and he moved with great care with the "emancipation proclamation" not to free slaves but to save the union. he was very careful and very considerate even as he was trying to move the country, but abraham lincoln had the overriding mission to save the mission and keep the country from dissolving. >> that is impossible to do without engaging the public opinion. >> host: i am asking the unanswerable question which is polls are nothing more than a tool. like a hammer you can use it to build a house or split somebody's head open. the way their use makes them good or bad. >> guest: absolutely right. if the leader, ehud barak, he begins a process

president, president roosevelt made a momentous decision. president roosevelt decided in large part because of his fear of the power of the american medical association to not include health care in the social security legislation, in the bill to create social security, because president roosevelt actual fully believed that social security meant a pension and health care, but he thought the power of the doctors lobby would keep him from being successful, so he moved forward on social security, the creation of social security. who knows if that was the right decision then, but it certainly brought us a program that's mattered in the lives of all of our parents, our grandparents, our great-grandparents. harry truman was not able to accomplish medicare or any other kind of health care reform, significant health care reform in his seven years or so as president. fast forward to july 1965, president johnson passed legislation creating medicare. but leading up to that legislation, again it was the american medical association. it was really the mo

number three is people love obama, in the teddy roosevelt quote as he said the president should be a very powerful man push to be sharply washed by the people and help to a string to accountability by them. i'm not sure he is right now because i think congress has capitulated and again and again. and i think lively the republicans don't want to but they don't have the power to do anything about it at this point. and it is in the nature of the president the kind of person who runs for president to seek more power and the people love him and right now he is grown to continue to do it. fourth is really when i talk about -- actually i combine to reasons -- accountability isn't there and the democrats in congress control both houses, and then the fourth reason is is the nature of people who run for president to want that kind of power and once they get there i think a change. i think the torture photos is a great example. it was easy for him to argue during the campaign that everything needs to be out there, but as president by the defense department came to him and said that people could
