i couldn't resist, who came but teddy roosevelt? he called his men in the spanish-american war the rough riders, and he called his men at the rough riders deliberately after the buffalo bill's congress of rough riders, and he says repeatedly, i am for any man who is going to work his way up without the help of the government, that is what america is all about. i am not about a government that redistributes wealth to minorities, or the very wealthy, in teddy roosevelt's case. and i love this image of teddy roosevelt, because there is this wonderful image of him that i don't have permission to reproduce now, but teddy roosevelt is not a hugely good horseman, and he is not a good westerner either. when he goes to his dakota ranch, the guys that he hires are from maine. he ships them out there. there is this wonderful line where he hears them one day, and they are cutting down trees, and one guy says i cut down 30, and one guy said he cut down 27, and one guy said, he beavered down a few. i couldn't resist this image here. here is a tri

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 when roosevelt takes the helm, he said he told mckinley that it was a mistake to nominate that wild man in philadelphia, and no -- now look, that wild cowboy is the president of the united states, and teddy roosevelt took that image. in the early 20th century, think 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 go to south dakota, 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 marlboro ma

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

i thought one of the great political moves of teddy roosevelt was his relationship with j.p. morgan. one of the first companies that he curtailed was the northern railroad that was owned by morgan. i think it was in '02 or '03. in '08 he asks morgan to help bail out the federal government. and he does that. can you talk a little bit about that relationship and how that worked? >> well, two points. on railroads roosevelt always wanted to lower fees on the railroads. but on morgan, very complicated and interesting relationship. but there's one moment when t.r.'s attorney general tells morgan and morgan was very upset that, my administration knows no ticker tape. meaning wall street. because morgan was saying, if you do this it's going to affect the finances of america and roosevelt's guy got back and said i know no -- i don't follow -- i don't make judgments on your financial ticker tape. so it's a wonderful -- there's a wonderful amount of literature on there, the adversarial relationship with the two. yet in many ways a mutual respect. in the end. >> thank you. >> okay. >> th

i would love to have a teddy roosevelt on the political horizon. all those things we were talking about. a leader, a strong sense of public purpose. he was willing to betray his own class to break up some unsavory business practices, to help the country and the economy more broadly. i think having that kind of leadership today would be good. i am not saying it is not going to be difficult and challenging. but i think if you have a strong leader with a vision and a way forward -- i think you have to make some tough decisions in the short term, so people can see where we are going. i think they would support it. frank: whenever we have struggled, our great leaders have always harken back to the gettysburg address, or the roosevelt for freedom speeches. he basically are a reinforcement of the founding fathers. they always go back to the founding vision to keep dust to take us forward. -- founding vision to take us forward. >> thinking about how we teach the next generation to be good citizens, what would you say, if you were on a curriculum committee,

when one looks at the history and have gone back to teddy roosevelt and the quotations from teddy roosevelt forward from both democratic and republican administrations we see, whether it was president bush nixon, president, republican and democrat, president clinton the conversation about how we make this next step forward with regard to reducing uninsured is something that we struggled with as a nation. and this is the first time, and someone reflected on the anniversary of medicare, and that 50 year anniversary. this is the first time that we have seen that. so the land that we have in place, the implementation of the affordable care act has done that, but we have not seen any alternative. >> let me talk about chip. i want to emphasize again that we have to act on this legislation immediately when we consider sgr which expires at the end of march. while funding may not expire until the end of september for chip more than half by june 1. so it's clear the congress needs to act swiftly to ensure states can budget appropriately for chip and avoid any disrussian in childrens' coverage. i see

with each difficult challenge comes in the satisfaction of knowing, knowing that you are, like teddy roosevelt's man in the arena slugging it out, doing what you believe. doing what you like. and doing it your way. and recognizing that it is not the critics that count or change the world or make the world better. rather, it is those were willing to work. work very hard toward holding a better world. we live in a complicated and defining time. the men into women who have devoted their lives to americans security are the architects of this new 21st century world. they are building on to the great foundations and legacies of those have gone before them. we have made mistakes. we will make more mistakes. but we hold tightly to one of america's greatest strengths. the capacity into the constitutional structure that allows us to self-correct. we can change systems, right wrongs, solve problems, and start over. but we must get the basics. we must recognize that there is not an immediate answer to every problem. some problems require if all bring solutions that give us the time and the space to adjust.

sports can teach many valuable lessons and in that same grain, teddy roosevelt talked about the principle to follow is this. hit the line hard don't foul and don't shirk. but hit the line hard. that is certainly the principle that secretary hagel learned in columbus nebraska. and how he had the line hard as the secretary of defense. he worked to ensure that their forces with everything that they needed in order to conduct their missions in afghanistan and around the globe. as new challenges emerged the russian aggression in the ukraine and the oval of iris he provided leadership in ensuring that the department can respond quickly. to keep the nation secure. his leadership did not stop there we who work in the defense of our nation are called to live uncommon lives. the secretary and i have been advocates within our government and within the american people for us delivering on the promise to keep faith with civilian personnel and service members and families. and he is a devoted family man and an exemplary person. he is a man of character and the type of character that was someone who val

i would love to have a teddy roosevelt on the political rice and these days. a strong sense of purpose process of public purpose willing to betray some class to break up some unsavory business practices, that helped the country and help the economy more broadly. so i think having a can of leadership today would be good your that's not to say is not going to be difficult and challenging, it is, but people will -- a way forward and i think even if it makes some tough decisions in the short term, people can see where we're going and why we are going there. i think they will support him or her. >> whatever we struggle, our great leaders always hearken back to this is the gettysburg address or roosevelt gettysburg address or roosevelt's for freedom speeches. they basically are reinforcement of the founding fathers. they always go back to the founding vision to take us forward. >> in thinking about how dysfunctional political landscape and how we teach the next generation to be good citizens, what would you say if you are on the curriculum committee would be the rig

the progressive era, teddy roosevelt is a republican, bob lafollette is a republican. taft is a republican. the progressive movement is democrats and republicans, not just a bunch of democrats. democrats have very conservative southern democrats who are not progressive in any sense at all. so that recognition of the need to find a way to knit together different political perspectives focused on this fundamental issue is what we have to discover. it is so counterintuitive to us and it's not even clear organizationally, it's possible i often think that the business model of progressive organizations is inconsistent with the business model of winning because the way we want to talk about this issue is designed to make the other side hate us. so we want to talk about it, how terrible corporations are and how evil it is to have money in the system. those may be true statements but if you say that, you may turn off 40% of americans of what you're talking about. is there an authentic and true way to talk about this that doesn't necessarily turn them off. the parallel that bec

teddy roosevelt kept the sport from many outlawed for excessive violence.ld ford helped the michigan wolverines win two national titles. ronald reagan played college ball, made his mark in the movies playing senator game's george gip. >> go out there and win one for the gipper. >> republican vice presidential nominee jack kemp led buffalo bills to two afl championships and before he ran for governor lynn swann was a four-tirmme super bowl champ with the pittsburgh steelers. joining me from the site of super bowl xlix is lynn swann and rachel nichols. thanks for joining us, guys. lynn swann, i want to talk to you. talk about what it feels like you won four super bowls with the steelers in six years, you had that famous 64-yard catch and run in super bowl x. what do the players feel like in a few hours, the anticipation. >> just that. it's the anticipation, the excitement that 30 other teams are sitting at home watching them play for the championship and one team is going to walk away with a ring. i should say another ring. it's kind of interesting because se

. >> three years ago you were reading joe dimaggio, been on a teddy roosevelt kick -- >> i've got aneclectic reading list. >> and now commode. >> well, that was a couple -- the key for me is to keep expectations low. >> is that what everyone doesn't get? >> i don't know, brian -- >> wow. >> it went on from there megyn, if i could remind everyone. the other thing brian williams asked president bush was a question about president bush 41 and clinton who bush 43 asked to go around the world ray u raising money for victims of the tsunami. brian williams asked if his relationship with his dad was so tarnished by the war that does he believe clinton and 41 are closer than 43 and 41? that was the katrina interview. so i hadn't thought about that. it's been almost nine years. obviously it still gets a little bit under my skin. >> but the first part speaks almost to what we're debating now, which is did he feel the need to build himself up? >> with all respect to him he did not graduate from college. president bush graduated from yale and went onto get his mba from harvard. >> first president
