he would not talk to teddy roosevelt. roosevelt wanted to go over to europe leading his own regiment. wilson would not even talk to him about it. he could have said this is wonderful, let's think about it. roosevelt was getting on and not that well, but he was not good at dealing with political opponents. he was very skillful maneuvering. he was a very effective president in many ways. you look at what he got through in terms of domestic legislation in his first time, it is extraordinary. host: you can only do that by being a great compromiser and leader. professor macmillan: when it came to making peace, he had a vision and did not think anyone that did not have the vision was worth listening to. this is where f.d.r. was right. he made it bipartisan from the beginning. wilson didn't. when he came back to united states briefly during the peace conference, he was out of the united states until he came back on february 14 for a month, he would not see lodge. he went to boston and made a speech about his vision and those who

theodore roosevelt, has made its way to the waters off yemen. it joined a group of u.s.s hoping to he intercept a convoy believed to be carrying weapons for yemen. retired navy captain, also the former national security special adviser to vice president dick cheney, so this is a part of the world you know well, captain. how high stakes is the maneuvering underway right now? >> it's actually pretty normal in terms of maneuvering the ships of the u.s. navy are part of a broader international coalition out there that are conducting maritime security operations. this as you know jon is one of the most highly trafficked areas in the world. nothing new for the u.s. navy here. this is the counter piracy operations, also where a lot of the arms trafficking has occurred with somalia as many of the arms came from yemen ended up in somalia so it's not really high stakes. we're watching what's happening with regard to the iranian convoy. we've got the right force posture there. the crews are well trained and ready to essentially conduct maritime intradiction operations if necessary

i am a huge fan of teddy roosevelt. i was as a kid. and going forward, what i like about roosevelt was he thought that he bought the pam account -- built in the panama can now. montana enjoys a lot of federal lands for public use. over 100 years ago, he had the vision of what america should be and could be. we were not a great power at that time. we are today. a lot of that foundation was because of him and i like the idea that roosevelt thought that america has to be big again. the problems are real, but we need to think big enough to find solutions. the american spirit is it still strong. >> how do you structure your life here in washington, back in montana and with your family? representative zinke: i travel a lot. when folks from montana, knock at the office, i try to be here. i walk up committees and say hello. it is important to meet that we have a conversation over coffee, we talk about things i to i. montana is one small town with very long streets, that is what i joke. and my family, i try to stay in touch with what is going o

the question was first answered with franklin roosevelt's new deal. fdr acted quickly.again would farmers see such a torrent of legislation passed for their benefit. for the first time there was a national program to raise farm income by guaranteeing minimum prices for farm goods. president roosevelt could not have envisioned that over the years, the formulas determining who receives farm subsidies would evolve in such a manner that it's corporate agri-businesses who are receiving the farm subsidies not the small, struggling family farmers that president roosevelt envisioned in the 1930s. at that point in time, we had a significant percentage of the population that was directly engaged in agriculture so the subsidies were focused on sustaining a very large percentage of the population. over time, we have seen that population in agriculture dwindle down but the notion that you need to protect that food supply has always been there. schoumacher: by the mid-1990s, with a booming economy and high agricultural prices congress decided it was time to wean farmers from depressi
