what if i had the energy of a teddy roosevelt all wrapped into one. maybe i could have done more than i did. or even looking about syria, it's not, he said, that i thought there was two decisions presented to me and i made the wrong decision. but maybe there was another level of insight that i didn't have, that a churchill might have had or an eisenhower-- ice might have had and maybe then something could be better. that is the no the way a regular politician normally thinks. i think he will be well suited to write that way. if he can write a memoir that not just says here's what i did but what might i have done if something had been different, it could be very interesting. >> rose: i mean it's interesting. you can take two people, i think, richard nixon essentially made his life writing a series of backs about foreign affairs after he left the presidency. >> that's right. and they were good books. and i think he felt like he had come back into the arena as nixon liked to use that word that teddy roosevelt used as well through his intellect and nobody

teddy roosevelt came back into the schedule because you did not have a two-term president, he hurt his own progressive cause. he will be in washington. it will be hard for him to stay away from fighting for the things he cares about. the part of him i saw before the election was happy at the thought i will be able to do other things, i will not have to think about this. i am not sure he will be able to make that break now. charlie: especially staying in that town, he has said there will come some issues i will have to be engaged in. he has some admiration for the way george w. bush has stayed out of political venues for the most part. doris: i think for a lot of people in the country, there has been a certain dignity in the way george bush 43 has conducted himself since the presidency. i think it is a difficult thing because if it turns out the republicans and mr. trump are trying to undo the things he thinks were the most important things he was contribute into the country, and especially the affordable care act, if he feels he has some power to shore up the democrats or reach out to

as president, slogan presidents like teddy roosevelt, there never was -- there was a new foundation obamaalked about for a while, but there was never a label able to clearly explain a lot of the positive things he was doing and put them together. that takes a different kind of thinking i suppose. charlie: we remember lyndon johnson who you know better than most. the idea was always let ly lyndon.e doris: he felt he needed to have a straitjacket on him because he was afraid the colorful language and metaphors he used would come out and he would not be dignified as a president. knew never was before us. now the tapes have allowed us to hear the man and know that he was not only interesting, but he understood politics and how to get to the emotional side of an issue. q still be most remarkable character i have known in political life. charlie: this ties back to what you mentioned earlier. obama preferring to be alone, johnson preferring the association of people, johnson never wanting to be alone. himson wanted people around as he fell asleep so he could carry on a conversation going to slee

as a teddy roosevelt -- teddy roosevelt had the courage to look 100 years forward. think we need to have the courage today to look 100 years forward and look back and say we did it right. senator cantwell: i hope that was a great endorsement of a stream protection rule, but on the teddy roosevelt point, you have made comments. do you support making the land and water conservation program permanent? mr. zinke: i do. i think land and water conservation has been important to montana, certainly in many of these states. we should look at it. if you are in the gulf states, i understand their point. the revenue comes from all offshore, and very little of it goes within the states that are affected most by the offshore industry. so i think we need to look at revenues and evening out the revenue source. always you should look at programs to make sure more revenue goes to projects. making sure the bureaucracy has not run over time. lastly, i think the states should have a say the local communities should have a say of where the funds go, more so than they sometimes do today.

. >> so far you've written about teddy roosevelt, garfield and churchill. what elements do you to their story. >> what interests me and were talking earlier, i love to reada biographies, but as a writer i'd like to tell a tighter story, a more personal story where i can spend five years really focusing and taking it deep. i'm looking for a story that i hope is a laminating about theme person and the time in which they live. what interests me think often when we look at history we are drawn to the big public moment.o of triumph or infamy. but what interests me are the more private moments of struggle when someone is sick like james garfield were terrified like theodore roosevelt or desperate like winston churchill. and searching for a foothold and uncertain. i think it's in those moments and it's true for all of us that we all share with these great historical figures is that is when your true nature is revealed. >> quite specifically what drew you to winston churchill? >> i heard the story years ago. my husband was a journalist for the new york times and he

when teddy roosevelt became president, teddy roosevelt wanted to do big things. and frankly, he did big things. i think there is an opportunity in this new political order to do big things. but big things only get done on a bipartisan basis. i went round and round with the president over this in 2011, when i became speaker. if you go back and look historically, big things get done when both parties have their fingerprints on the deal. so, i think he has that opportunity. listen -- it is going to be an exciting year. if you thought this past year with exciting, just watch what happens over the next 12 months. but just remember this. we live in the greatest country in the world. a country that there is no limits on what you can accomplish. and the only country in the world where you can be the son of a bartender and grow up and be the speaker of the house. god bless all of you for being here today. thank you.

[applause] >> i know john will take questions from you. it is interesting to hear roosevelt with a light touch. i thought immediately in the beginning of your detroit lions ascussion that they append mise the definition of insanity. the redskins are getting close to that. if you have any questions for john, raise your hand. the microphone will come to you. if you'd be so kind as to state your name and affiliation, it would be appreciated. >> did you say that the nca

former president, teddy roosevelt. one of the most popular americans, a great progressivist as well, and fair to say war lover. he is sitting with various figures, some in uniform, some not. at a rally for the national security league, formed in 1915, which was a major lobby for group reparative, enlarging the navy and army and also military training, what was called the platform movement, which tried to get young men to do military training, and they tried to pass laws in various cities across the country to public schools to have young men or boys drilled during school hours. rotc was an idea that came out of this preparedness movement as well. and they wanted to build up u.s. forces to have an army large enough to take on the japanese, which was going to be a threat of invading california, and of course to take on the germans. and they wanted a navy second to none as well. the perceptions about the war is true, when the war began, not many americans wanted to get into it. and woodrow wilson spoke for the large major

teddy roosevelt came and said the greatest public building in america, the greatest state capital.and and that was good for harrisburg. since you listen to the news in philadelphia, in pittsburgh, they will say harrisburg did such and such, they don't mean the city but the state government, that is what it stands for in pennsylvania. this is the state government, doing enough for us who don't live in harrisburg. a fellow said, james carville, political consultant, pennsylvania is pittsburgh on one end, philadelphia on the other end and alabama in the middle. harrisburg has that controversy that in the middle, the agricultural and conservative and republican and on both ends is thoroughly democratic. that makes harrisburg a controversy too, the major industry in harrisburg has always been government. if it weren't for the state capital being here, who knows what harrisburg will be. the river is not deep enough to use for transportation. it is a transportation nexus for railroads and highways. a lot of people have to go through harrisburg one way or another. and half of the property

upfront, i am an unapologetic admirer of teddy roosevelt. and believe he had a right when you placed under federal protection millions of our acres of federal lands and set aside much of it as our national forest. today, those lands provide americans the opportunity to hike, fish, camp, recreate and enjoy the great outdoors. it was on these lands that my father taught me how to hunt and fish, and the boy scouts taught me the principles of environmental stewardship and the importance of public access. it is also on these lands that many communities like the community i grew up in rely on the harvest timber, mines, that provide our nation with critical energy. without question our public lands are america's treasures and are rich in diversity. i fully recognize and appreciate there are lands that deserves special recognition and a better manage under the john muir model of wilderness, where man has a light touch and is an observer. i also fully recognize preponderance of our federal holdings are better suited under the potential model of multi
