he took it all, very happy and smiling, extraordinary, actually teddy roosevelt he didn't have very good intellect, had a perfect temperament to be president of franklin roosevelt, even more than that. any more questions? here is a fellow. >> thanks for the presentation. one of your points was you felt britain had its pockets picked before the war but the thought struck me as far as the long-term repercussions of the u.s. increasing its military. at the time it was the highest percentage of gdp and remained a bit higher in britain putting a lot of stress on citizens as far as maintaining that so if you are a citizen of britney were thinking you got a raw deal but looking back two generations, the burden is more on the u.s.'s shoulders. >> absolutely. for america to become a world policeman instead of britain is a good idea. i am american and british, britain got 60, 65 million people, relatively small nation with no natural resources great at trading and banking, the wall street business, very good at that and makes good money at that but to run the world particularly when you had to do

progressivism was associated with teddy roosevelt in 1912. teddy roosevelt went a little unhinged. he was consumed with hatred of woodrow wilson. these guys said the progressive ideals about having reform checking corporations, expanding democracy -- without ever really defining what they meant by liberalism, there was a set of ideas and a set of attitudes that accreted over a short period of time. the best summation of liberalism i've ever heard comes out of that croley book i mentioned at the beginning, "the promise of american life," which was hamiltonian means to achieve jeffersonian ends. it isn't a phrase that appears in croley's book. croley's book is hard to read. a historian who summarized it use that phrase to encapsulate it, and people attributed to croley even though croley isn't there. the idea that you need individual liberty is what liberals aspire to have, but the message that you get there sometimes involves having a very strong government. corporations -- liberalism when it was conceived in the enlightenment was meant to check a monarch and to check churches. when

what is interesting in this is that teddy roosevelt had deliberate cultivation of the cowboy, and when william mckinley was assassinated in 1901 and mckinley was a real big business republican, and went roosevelt takes the helm, he said he told mckinley that it was a mistake to nominate that wild man in philadelphia, and no look, that wild cowboy is the president of the united states and teddy roosevelt buried a liberally took that image. in the early 20th century, the cabal of the images you have of the cowboys of the 20th century you don't have any, because the western image of the early 20th century is of okies, it is of a terribly hard life people pour off the plane, the whole reason we have mount rushmore is because they are so desperate to get anybody to self the coda, the figure that maybe if they put up a statue on a mountain -- there are so desperate to get anybody out there, they figure that maybe if they put up a statue on a mountain, it will bring people. so here is this image in "life" magazine, and this man is clarence haley long and the interesting thing about this more

ready to do things along the lines of the square deal that the teddy roosevelt -- that teddy roosevelt proposed a century ago. >> john dickerson, you are in iowa. >> a wonderful place to be. they are all out here trying to figure that out even though the caucuses are a year away. when you talk to white house aides, they use the word liberated to talk about the president. he does not have another election but he does not have to worry about democrat getting reelected. having said that, of course he cares about who the number knee is in twitty 16 and he wants that person to be the next president because that ensures his legacy. he feels liberated right now and the use that term all the time. on the economy, it is not just that it has improved. they see that the permafrost is going. -- thawing. people who have been suspicious of good economic news, that finally seems to be thawing a bit. 53% said the economy was good, up 13 point since october. the highest that number has been since 2007. people's feelings about their own income, the highest since 2007. there is some purchase for the argu

the midlantic in to woodrow wilson was presiding over it but on the way out his fifth cousin teddy roosevelt former president died. of you may remember he was a gung-ho action man who encouraged franklin in every turn to put on a uniform to get involved in the a fight to -- in the fight. is left for it franklin roosevelt with a gore aide but they share the ship was wilson and his wife edith and he had with him a copy of the league of nations the first charter copy to inspire roosevelt and he believed it was time to step he enjoyed it in today's money a trust fund worth 1.$4 billion per year so he did not need to work and he devoted himself with the vice presidential candidate in 1920 he stood on having the of the give nations put into action to get nowhere. of course, he tried to do what he could. talking about millions of americans is on the food lines the number of foreign countries were taking advantage the end of this levy and italy invaded ethiopia and has started to take a land grab there. and moving into austria but then starting to move away that is part of justice about kia and then

in fact, teddy roosevelt helps to circulate it during world war i. it becomes a british anthem. churchill's favorite hymn was "the battle hymn of the republic," because he heard american soldiers singing it in world war i. it was sung at his funeral. it becomes, in the 20th century, the evangelical anthem. it is the theme song of both billy sunday and billy graham, the greatest evangelical preachers in the 20th century. billy graham, probably the greatest evangelical preacher ever. billy sunday has his orchestra perform "the battle hymn of the republic" in every single crusade that he gave. in fact, billy sunday supposedly saved a third of new york city which was known as the babylon of preachers, because nobody could convert new yorkers. [laughter] in 1917, he preached to roughly a third of new yorkers. and twice a day, "the battle hymn of the republic" was sung. billy graham is really interesting, because billy graham is from north carolina. billy graham's two grandfathers were federate soldiers. one grandfather had a limb lost during the civil war, and the other died with a u

like teddy roosevelt wanted to be the bribe at the wedding and courtrooms at the funeral and baby at the baptism. i think he filled that role more than he has other times and i think it means at least with that leadership exercise back. people were complaining where is the leader that he may have a greater chance to shape what happens at least retoreally for the 2016 campaign and his legacy and what actually gets down in the lame duck congress. >> rose: john dickerson in high was. >> state of the union is kind of a perfect example of the constraint of the presidency on a president who thought hecome in and be a little bit more free wheeling, a little looser, a little lighter on his feet. and tonight was that vision of the president. if you just look at the speech he gave, he kind of took care of the compulsory stuff in the previous two weeks leading up to it. all the laundry list, the items that heqçñwas going his new programs. he mentioned them of course tonight but he didn't have to froift his speech with that or freight them in his speech. he had a narrative art to his speech. he

southerners and the vote casts for wilson surpassed the combined the totals for the bull moose teddy roosevelt and howard taft. so there was definitely a change in the makeup of the government in 1912, a strong hold for southern power. with the south essentially in control of the government, a swarm of people from the south looking for jobs from a party out of power for so long came to washington. and when they came to washington, this new southern mindset in the federal government, what they saw shocked them. in the federal bureaucracy. on the eve of his election 12,000 african-americans were working in the nation's capital in almost every department as far asry and managerial positions. they were able to achieve this upward economic mobility which they had no opportunity for anywhere else in the private sector. they were able to achieve this by take field goal relatively color blind civil servant exam on even par with whites. no where else was this the case in the country, so it enabled them to really achieve economic status on an even par with whites. as i said, they were working in almost

and teddy roosevelt said the principle to follow is this.foul and don't sherk, but hit the line hard. that's certainly the principle secretary hagel learned playing fullback in columbus, nebraska. it's also characteristic of how he hit the line hard when he became our secretary of defense. he hit the ground run ingning and worked to ensure our forces had everything they needed in order to accomplish their missions in afghanistan and around the globe. as new challenges emerged from isil in the middle east to russian aggression in the ukraine and ebola in africa he provided leadership ensuring they could respond quickly to keep our nations secure. and his leadership didn't stop there. he's reenforced the notion that we who work in the defense of our nation are called to live uncommon lives. secretary hagel has been an incredible advocate within our government and with the american people delivering on his promise to keep faith with our service members our civilian personnel and their families. he's led by example and made tough decisions in tr

it gives you the famous quote of teddy roosevelt.yes, the battle of ritoshima straits, greatest thing that ever happened. you know he's flightdelighted that sort of got a bloody nose. next phrase, oh, i wonder what this means between us and them in the future? essentially the big deal for the united states essentially is that japan in 1914 september becomes a pacific empire. it's already an empire but it's a pacific empire. well, what's that all about? the americans thought -- you know, as you know americans have been battling with the japanese for a while now to be the pacific empire. it starts in hawaii. long before we even sort of take over in the philippines. yes, we're very conscious of the japanese. and it goes back to the china trade. the americans need a china trade in order to be economically viable, visa-a-vis britain. anyone who's anyone, the declaration or whatever robert morris, they are investing in china trade. null and so that's very important. china becomes important. the otter trade becomes important along san franc

it goes to the -- it gives you the famous quotation of teddy roosevelt. like yes the greatest thing that ever happen eded is delighted. got a bloody nose. and then next phrase -- oh i wonder what this means between us and them in the future. the big deal for the united states especially is in japan in 1914 in september becomes a pacific empire. it's already an empire. but the pacific empire. well what's that all about? the americans felt that -- as you know, the americans have sort of been battling with the japanese for a while now to become the pacific empire. it starts in hawaii. long before we even sort of take over the territories in the philippines and create a colony in the philippines. and so yes we're very conscious of the japanese. but on the other hand if japan -- if i were to read -- there's a great opportunity to rewrite american history here to show the degree to which asia pacific is just absolutely essential for the viability of the independent american republic. with that, it goes back to the china trade. the americans need a china trade t

the white house conference on children and youth which was something that had gone founded by teddy roosevelten years they had this. and i took that job. and after about a month realized that in our -- in that moment in history we could not have a successful conference on both children and youth. the problems were to different, they were so explosive with youth that they were going to overwhelm the real problems we had with chirp. with children. so i asked the president if i could divide it into two conferences. so in 1970 i held the white house conference on children, and in 1971 i held the white house conference on youth and left the administration at that point, at the end. so january i joined the brookings institution, which i've been there since and at that point -- as often happens when you're a friend of the president's, you've served him -- he invites the family into the oval office to say good-bye. it's a ceremonial thing, it's a photo op. everybody wants their pictures taken. the kids get -- my wife, two kids they get -- they're 8 and 10 at that point, they get little trinkets. and

a president, is the best moment in our american history, the progressive movement pushed it, teddy roosevelt, the backritionists pushed abraham lincoln and the civil rights movement pushed kennedy and johnson. that's where the change takes place, the women's movement the civil rights moviemovement and you need a president open to that. and i think even though jfk had started to be open to it after that march, what you needed was somebody who was going to put it at the top of his agenda and that's what lbj did. he was able to understand that he could say in his first speech to congress no memorial would matter to jfk more than the passage of the civil rights bill. so he used that whole feeling towards jfk and his death to help him but then it became his thing. and when you have a leader the stature of martin luther king when you have an andrew young, we were lucky to have those moments ai said before in history. those generations don't only exist. god all mighty we need one now a generation of those kind of leaders.

rejecting this will preserve conservation legacy that goes straight back to president teddy roosevelt the republican who signed the antiquities act into law in 1906 and includes the formal establishment of the national park system almost 100 years ago. this is an extraordinarily beautiful country that we have the privilege to represent and we ought to encourage conservation efforts and not make them harder to achieve. we should build on the legacy legacy generations of americans and generations in the body of republicans and democrats working together to preserve our natural heritage. therefore i will oppose is when it comes up for a vote and i urge the colleagues to do the same. mr. president, i yield the floor. >> yesterday i offered an amendment to the keystone bill which is straightforward and will not affect the outcome of the underlying legislation. i think it has the potential to get strong bipartisan support. that is because my amendment states a simple set of facts that climate change is real and that humans are contributing to it. this is an opportunity for people on either

so i am interested in mount rushmore and teddy roosevelt, now incredibly popular but in 1927 the sculpturee was truly a great president. why then was it as time went by, what is the clinical analysis that tells us in the end he was not quite so great? >> again my definition of grace for greatness, you confront a nation encumbering crisis changing the fundamental nature of the system appreciated perhaps, over time for that greatness and dominate your times. the close but no cigar presidents jefferson, jackson, tr wilson and harry truman all affected the temper of their times in a consequential way but they are crises were not nearly as severe, imperfections much greater, and that separates out what i call these dispensable's or undeniable's from the next tear down. schlesinger and his son told him near greats, a very sort of loose term. i think getting at the issue of where their crises as to redmond to the nation in the case of these five? no. were their accomplishments as consistently and undeniably great? did they get most of the big decisions right? jefferson's second term was a disaste

. >> here we see teddy roosevelt's son archie, he actually smuggled a small tree into the white house and hide it in a closet in the upstairs sewing room. why? >> because his father was a staunch conservative, and at that time they did not grow trees as a crop. they grew trees in the woods and people went out and saw them -- and cut trees and brought them home. the president being a staunch conservative, he decided he did not want a tree in the house because that did not fit his thinking on cutting down trees. >> he sounds like a grump. >> ba humbug. >> he made great parks. so -- >> here we have franklin roosevelt and his family. and more of the roosevelt white house at christmas time. that is -- the east room? >> yep. >> it looks like about heavy tree -- a bottom heavy tree. >> they look like heavy chandeliers. >> very much so. and the eisenhower white house. and we see a lot of tinsel. >> wow. >> it looks tinsel heavy. >> that was pre-theme. [laughter] >> the theme is tinsel. >> that was the theme, they did a great job of it. then we get to the kennedy white house, and things change

the mile high city, roche went to work for the progressive party, third-party initiated with teddy roosevelt in 1912. her work with the progressive party began in the fall of 1913. simultaneous with the outbreak of a massive coal strike that lasted until the end of 1914 and included an infamous episode of anti-labor violence called the ludlow massacre. a lot of times americans at the time and historians since have referred to the entire coal strike simply as ludlow. the strike was a turning point for roche. and as strikes of its kind were for progressives elsewhere. during that strike, roche was traveling all over colorado organizing local clubs for the progressive party and she witnessed the conditions that cold miners lived in, visited with striking miners and interview their opponents. coal miners lives in camps were there homes were owned by their employers and so were the local grocery store and casino peers share send judges were employees of the kohl's companies as well -- as the coal companies as well. miners were paid in script recognized only by the local store. coal companies paid
