>> bob taft, mr. republican from ohio -- it is fair to say he was the champion of the isolationist wing of the republican party. that is to say, the wing profoundly suspicious of international organizations like the u. n. suspicious of, later on, the korean war. suspicious of projecting american military power around the world as opposed to building up a american defenses here at home. former president herbert hoover would have been in that camp as well. thomas e. dewey is somebody who had morphed. from a young man, he had been an isolationist. one of the interesting things is to watch him become a committed internationalist and a champion of bipartisan foreign policy. >> given that, what is the impact of that attitude on all of his presidential bid? he runs in 1940, 1944, 1948. >> i think it was safe to say it was statesmanlike. it did not win him any votes. in 1944 there was a significant conflict between thomas e. dewey and fdr. they disagreed over the united nations. specifically, would the united

ike crafted a strategy to cease delegates of taft, while warren hoped the taft and eisenhower campaigns would deadlock and he would be acceptable. ike, of course, won, but the two of them got to know each other in the aftermath of the race, and having knowing and appreciate warren, it was natural that eisenhower would look for a place for him in the government. eisenhower considered appointing warren as secretary of the interior, but rounded out the cabinet without wrairn. in late 1952 as eisenhower prepared to leave if the korean front, he placed a call to warren, partly to apologize, but also to explain he would offer him the first vacancy on the united states supreme court. then, after further discussions with his attorney general, eisenhower -- ed to offer warren the solicitor generalship. reasoning that warren could use that experience to freshen up his courtroom skills while awaiting a vacancy on the court. warren accepted that summer, but before the administration anowdgessed the move, then chief justice fred benson died. it was unexpected although he was overweight and a smoker,

taft was mr. republican. people had heard about him before. taft was a name.e had had a president named taft. that was not particularly new. herbert hoover was a wonderful man, but he had become a great vanity. he was getting in the way of the progress of the party because he kept wanting to run again. his time was probably past. what was exciting about willkie was he went to hear herbert hoover and could not believe that herbert hoover would hog the nomination. in that way, willkie was grassroots. he, himself, was not of the grass. he was chosen by people who were voting against the party. the other names were "the party." willkie came in as somebody different, not what we expected. >> he retired and an exciting man. i think for many people, it was none of the above. it was the perfect atmosphere for an outsider who promises and looks very different from the republican standard of the late 1930's. >> what was the state of the democratic party, amity shlaes, and franklin roosevelt and his support in 1940, eight years after the new deal at a time when most pres

and taft said, he said yes, yes, i have. and he said, i really cannot sit, sit in one seat and i think it's only fair that i should have to, pay for to pick and the usher said, but, sir, these are for seats on opposite sides of the aisle. [laughter] at that point in the story, that's the way paul kagame, and he said i would like to think that in those circumstances, president taft exercise his extraordinary powers of conciliation and compromise by turning first to his neighbor on one side of the aisle, and persuading him to switch sides for the first half of the game so taft could have a full two seats on the outside. and when the halftime came, that taft would've gone to the other side of the aisle and persuaded his supposedly neighbor there to switch onto the other side so that, again, taft could have two full seats. and that we, as paul said, both president taft and each of his neighbors would have been able to watch the game from varying perspectives, which is a very valuable thing.

taft proved not to be a progressive successor to teddy roosevelt. roosevelt tried to wrestle the nomination away from taft, and then becomes the nominee of the new progressive party. if republicans had stayed united, we will not know what happened but it was possible that woodrow wilson would not have won the election. >> joe joins us from phoenix. good evening and welcome to the program. >> a great show and think you. i want to ask something different. i wondered if that people could speak to his foreign-policy and what he thought about the spanish-american war or the european colonialism. what would the gentleman think how he would handle, for example, afghanistan and iraq and the invasions? what was his mindset back then in terms of how the major colonial powers were going into other countries and controlling them and such? what is your theory about all that? and in general, his foreign policy. >> thank you for the call. he was our 43rd secretary of state. >> he served in the spanish- american war, but once the war ended, he opposed the occupatio

there was the great teddy roosevelt/william howard taft split. teddy ran as the bull moose party candidate. there is a real question. are they going to be able to put the republican party back together again? do you take roosevelt? roosevelt is still radioactive with the old guard. if you take someone too conservative, then the progressives will not come back. you have got to pick someone who is respected by both sides. someone who is not some wild man from the prairies or from the west like johnson, someone who was not a conservative like root, and the man to do it, also the man who has been out of politics since 1910, he was on the supreme court. he was not part of the 1912 battle. that is mr. hughes. and he is respected by just about everyone in the party. >> what were his politics at the time? >> his politics were mildly progressive. he is not a wild man from the west like norris. but what he is, he had moved from the practice of law. he was never interested really in being part of politics. when he first comes to new york and establishes his

and he handed the agenda of this conference over to his successor, william howard taft, who couldn't about the subject and allowed it to die, and that conference never happened however when we do look back on tr now, 100 years later, i think that is the one achievement of his presidency that we should revere your and remember. it's something of a homecoming to me to come to this particular stretch of turf, and to be in proximity of a particular castle, smithsonian castle, because i came in here 1983, long before any of you were born -- [laughter] why are you laughing? as a fellow of the wilson institute, the wilson center for scholars, which used to be headquartered here in the castle. i was a fellow for three months and that's where i began my second roosevelt biography, theodore rex. it's the first time that i had ever been in an academic environment amongst fellow scholars from all over the world, and i must confess i felt very strange in the company of these several guys with long strings of degrees after their names. i was given the study in the tallest of the towers you see out

>>neil: formally they do not score, of course, roosevelt broke from the taft and that is the benchmark but the question is would they take votes from? any of these gentleman running, on paper, i would assume, take votes away from republicans, right? >>guest: you would think so. but i would say in the case of jon huntsman, neil, he reminds me a lot if he runs as an independence, he reminds me of john anderson from 1980. the congressman from illinois who ran in the republican party for the presidential nomination against ronald reagan and a bunch of others and he was a liberal republican, in march of 1980 he said i'm thinking about going independent and in april he filed, and he ended up getting 7 percent of the vote in november against ronald reagan and jimmy carter but here is the interesting thing. the post election studies of the anderson vote showed that he took about equal numbers of votes from ronald reagan and jimmy carter. so, huntsman reminds me of that liberal republican john anderson who could cut both ways if he does this. >>neil: normally they do not galvanize a great deal

sometimes require the government to go into federal court to get an injunction under a provision of the taft-hartley act. those were nightmare situations because if you went to congress to try to settle a national emergency dispute in the transportation industry, you ended up with 535 arbitrators. and it was -- chaos. now, the trade unions did not mind that so much as alternative approaches. because they largely controlled congress or at least they had enormous influence. they had a democratic senate and a democratic house. so they didn't want any particular changes to that. but it was as it was a nightmare, we came up, george schultz directed us to come up with legislation to deal with it. and we came up with legislation. and we also had another -- i'll tell you about the legislation in a moment. and we also had another weapon. the weapon was bill usrey who was the most extraordinary meter that i think this country ever saw. -- mediator that i i think this country ever saw. it was like a miracle. he went into a room full of management and raise a flag and talk about patriotism and go into a room fu

and in that way, roosevelt denied taft a second term. perot split the conservative vote. and denied bush a second term. but he did another thing, i think, by getting in the race, and beating up on bush all along the way, kind of softened him up for clinton to come in and make the kill. so i think it was sort of a two tiered effect there. and i do -- i'm not sure how the campaign would have played out without him. but i certainly think that part. impact of his being in the race was that clinton was elected. >> next call is from rick in memphis, tennessee. hey, rick, you're on the air. >> glad to be here, folks. i'm going to assert that ross perot last time he ran was exactly what the united states needed. and now there is no question, much stronger, is exactly what the united states needs. and i would like to ask -- i'm not too well on what's going on, why is he not in the 2012 race? and also, why in the world are neither the republican or democratic candidates making a run in ross perot's image? i don't see how anybody running like that could help but win. >> why haven't

spent i think around that time ambassador kennedy used to joke that he was robert taft democrat.ed you the most? did any of her assessments of key players differ from your views and those of other historians? >> sure, and all sorts of ways. but i think the thing that really surprised me was that if we were talking a year ago, i would have said that she was a large influence during that period, but i would have particularly said that she was a large political figure of this administration do and i think if you read this book you have to say that because a number of times she talks mainly about people but not always only about people. and you noted that the people she's very critical of wound up not doing terribly well during the administration, vice versa. to some extent i think she was -- but she does talk about a few cases where for instance, she was in pakistan which have been added to her trip to india for political reasons. and two things happened actually. john kenneth culbreth was the ambassador to india whom john can have known since the 1930 when he was at harvard. the am

he would form his own party the bull months party that would run against republican, william howard taft his successor and hand the election to progressive hero woodrow wilson. what teddy roosevelt was calling for as you a socialistic nationalism in which the government would take things away from people who got things, that he didn't think they should have, give it to the working man. they talked about the square deal, fairness, all of these new man dates for government, something the republican party has walked away from in very decided fashion certainly since the reagan era in terms of what the role and purpose of government is. this is obama embracing a republican icon of a by gone era. megyn: putting aside whether people understand the party affiliations, bull months, he was a republican, he wasn't, it was a progressive idea, i think what americans might understand is teddy roosevelt was calling for something akin to a socialist nationalism. why would president obama want to do anything to associate himself with that word socialist which has been used against him by so many of the c

president taft was the one who passed him over. i definitely heard the story. it certainly had to be a difficult moment around the family at dinner table since there is no question that chief justice hughes accepting the job meant his son would have to give up the solicitor general job. i do think it is a little naive to think he was going to turn it down. >> i think some people did think so at the time, but they were probably misled. just one more addendum about the fact that he may have had at versions to the job earlier, there was some possibility that he would be appointed rather than associate justice when he was first appointed to the court. and being passed over i have been one of the reasons he was more willing to take the presidential nomination and not. he ultimately aspire to the chief justiceship. >> one thing i wanted to talk about is, i have a problem with the justice is staying on until they are 80, 90 years old. they don't have a lot in common with the people. they still have the same beliefs than what everybody else has in this country. we ough

the third year of a roosevelt administration because his hand-picked successor was william howard taftof the anomalies in all of this, megyn, this president, apparently and his scissors from the sunday talk show hosts who had -- >> megyn: the apartment -- professor goodwin who suggested he should emulate teddy roosevelt and now he's making an announcement he's doing just that. >> i think that's a bully idea, as teddy would have said. the problem is, he didn't start three years ago. that would have been helpful. megyn: here's my question to you. the president is going to say the new theme will be everyone engage necessary fair play, everyo does their fair share, everyone gets a fair shot. when teddy roosevelt was president at the time, there wasn't income federal tax, there wasn't much of a regulatory scheme, today, it's a very different story. i know the occupy folks think it's unfair and so on but can he really make the same art about the rich not paying their fair share and so on when you've got the stat itsics about what -- statistics about what the rich are paying in taxes? >> obvi

taft used to be our president -- governor here. but where he ended up.ot in prison, where he should have been. and they are trying to take down the middle class and the poor. then they will have this agenda of having republicans everywhere, in the house and the senate. then they can hire everyone down here at a lower wage. they want to control. take a look at it. we have got the coup clucks klan in here. at the moment it is a really bad situation. they are going that way. host: we appreciate your calling. in atlanta, they are talking about iowa. the right that the nation's economy is out front. -- they were right that the nation's economy is out front and that the job message still resonates. moving to iowa, "spending cuts are the number one issue for voters." host: they have a shot of ron paul supporters here. we will ask chuck grassley what issues are moving folks in his home state. a reminder, you can ask a question of the senator, not just over the phone on the program, if you are getting into the phone segment. , but also on our facebook page. jacki
