warren who is saying that she wants a break up of the monopolists that's fantastic we love it teddy roosevelt did it and don't trump should do it it is a brush thing that could ever happen but when people go to the voting booth are they going to be like oh everything just went up twenty percent of my going to vote for that thing so a lot of people who voted for the notion of make america great again. they are unemployed and unemployable partly because of the monopolies reigning through agriculture manufacturing all sorts of industries because there are no where at the lowest level in i think in our modern history of entrepreneurship in america small business formation and the reason is because of monopoly you have those dollar stores sweeping through the poorer areas displacing huge amounts of jobs so at a certain point the conversation once it is had that is the issue other than crisis report no outlet is talking about antitrust as an issue and that is what business insider is recognizing they think elizabeth warren is a very very long shot to ever even get nominated for the democratic nomin

i also found out that teddy roosevelt was the person who first picked her to head the committee on safety after the triangle shirtwaist fire so that meant that her first contact was teddy roosevelt, not franklin roosevelt, and i thought that was a really cool find. at the library of congress. >> thank you very much.

teddy roosevelt and herbert youly said regulation, regulate, although obviously roosevelt was a trust buster. but the other view, woodrow wilson and his adviser who eventually went to the supreme court was anti-trust. the best way of guaranteeing that the market worked was to make sure that there was competition, obviously. and so that's the debate we're having today. and we've got to face that those are the two choices. >> just -- and following up on that point, i wonder, senator klobuchar, if you could talk a little bit about the impact of the monopolization. a lot of people focus on consumer prices. as we're seeing monopolization can also drive down wages for people, it can have a range of affects. so essentially why should americans care about anti-trust policy. how is it affecting them, the fact that we have so many mergers happening. >> let's look at a positive. the breakup of at&t. that was a major anti-trust case. it took a lot of work. and what happened there is you saw more innovation, you saw lower prices for consumers in the long distance market. i know a little bit about

teddy roosevelt and herbert, his advisor, said regulation, we have to regulate. i believe, roosevelt was a trust buster. the other view, woodrow wilson and his advisor, lewis brandeis went to the supreme court is anti-trust, the best way of guaranteeing that the market worked was to make sure there was competition. that's the debate we're having today and we've got to face that those are the two choices. >> and just following up on that point, i wonder, senator klobuchar, if you could actually talk about the impact of the monopolizization. a lot of people focus on consumer prices and as we're seeing monopolizization can drop down ranges for people and have a range of effects. essentially why should americans care about anti-trust policy, how is that actually affecting them, the fact that we have so many mergers happening? >> first, let's look at a positive, the break-up of at&t. remember that? that was a major anti-trust case. took a lot of work. and what you saw there was more innovation, you saw lower prices for consumer consumers in the long distance market. i

. >> teddy roosevelt called the presidency the bully pulpit. how would you view donald trump? >> i think you would see it as the new bully trump pet and he's put it to use. >> what surprises you about how he's used social media? >> the total lack of filter. so when roosevelt or other presidents would use the bully pulpit it was done with a very carefully prepared, carefully crafted message behind that. we have a strong tradition, especially through the modern period. if you look at presidents like reagan, he had a team behind him who really crafted a very important message and they were very careful to shape every detail, they would pick backgrounds for photos. they would have key words of the day that they stressed throughout the day, and that they hammered home one theme and it was all very carefully thought out by a team of experts . trump does it on the fly. he does it, you know, seemingly on a whim. i guess on a phone perhaps. there are typos. there are plenty of inaccuracies. it comes out without a filter and that's really unusual. usually the bully pulpit has a great de

>> teddy roosevelt. >> a republican. >> yep. >> because he took on the trusts?cause he was brave. and he took on the trusts. and he didn't care how many people were going to be mad about it. and he did it -- this is what's amazing -- for the right reasons. it wasn't just that they were big. it wasn't just that they were dominating an economy. it wasn't just that they were putting farmers out of business and competitors out of business and small companies out of business. it was that they had too much political power. and it was the very fact of that political power that caused teddy roosevelt to say i'm going to be a trust buster. man, i'd like to have that guy at my side. >> there is a beloved actress who's been talking about you. annette benning. >> yes. >> let's take a look. i think we have this for you. annette benning says she knows she looks like elizabeth warren, thank you very much. >> whoa! i'm flattered. >> does she look like you or you look like her? >> either way. i'm totally happy with this comparison. >> you like this. would you be comfortable if a

colonized by europeans out of bounds for europeans and everyone not from the americas a little later teddy roosevelt twisted this policy turned it inside out instead of protecting american nations the u.s. now toppled governments that didn't like there now they've twisted it again now they think they can do this everywhere all over the world and a zoo l.-a and a bill that legitimizes us meddling that terry quire threat assessment a strategy to counter russian influence in venezuela. in effect they're trying to justify meddling in venezuela pogany because it's too friendly with russia and say no not that that is who asked for it not even america's champ there but you don't see broad support for i believe that there is respectful participation of russia in regards to watching the fate of our country but the same goes for other countries that are paying attention here america knows better in syria half the world away it's the same story in syria the united states will use diplomacy and work with our partners to expel every last iranian brute and work through the un a process to bring peace and stabilit

bruce: if president trump seeks re-election, the biggest testing of that was former president teddy roosevelt against taft. taft held that. he was the sitting president. president reagan in 1976 against sitting president ford, sitting president ford won. so the republican side, unless president trump decides he's walking away, is probably president trump. soledad: although you've got all these investigations, that's a big asterisk i think. bruce: the president has a 90% approval rating according to gallup among republicans after 25 weeks. on the democratic side, you have two interesting questions. first, how progressive do they want to go versus how liberal do they want to go? the energy, the heart of the party, is free college, medicare for all, green new deal. the other question for the democrats is, do you pick the establishment, traditional next-in-line -- or do you pick the disrupter? and think about this, soledad. when democrats have picked the candidate whose turn it was, they picked walter mondale. they picked al gore. they picked secretary clinton. when the democrats have gone with t

had fits and starts on, what's the way to deal with the networks until teddy roosevelt became president and led the country to reframing the power of the icc to around judgments as to what's just and reasonable. and the idea of open access to networks on just and reasonable terms is exactly what we enacted in 2015 in the open internet rules. peter: so if net neutrality, as enacted by the f.c.c., under your chairmanship, does not exist, is it ok, in your view, for california to develop its own net neutrality rules? tom: well, i think it's a consequence. it follows as the night the day. or is it the day as the night? i never can get that straight. but if the federal government has stepped aside and the agency responsible for america's networks says, no, we don't have this responsibility anymore for internet networks, and we are a federal system, then why should we be surprised if the states step up? and, you know, the interesting thing here, peter, is that -- one of my favorite oscar wilde quotes is that there are two great tragedies in life. not getting what you want and getting it. and
