>> teddy roosevelt was the most annoying of all the vice president. nobody could control him, mckinley cannot control him, nobody could control him as vice president, there's a great story of assistant secretary of the navy, there's a great story of the navy where he goes on a six hour break get the equivalent of a spot treatment, and he is so worried about teddy roosevelt will do of the navy in six hours that he instructs him not to take the country to war. while he is getting that treatment teddy roosevelt mobilizes the country for work. in six hours. but what is interesting, beginning with teddy roosevelt, a recent one of accidental presidents get selected in their own right. and then you have way more reelections as president in the post- 1900s then you do in the period before, i attribute a lot of that to the fact that foreign-policy plays a more pronounced role in the president asserts a norma's amount influence on foreign policy. and to answer your question, the vice president that exerted the most amount of influence, the last three or four vi

teddy roosevelt was very enthusiastic about the success of the american military. if you could talk a little bit about mark twain and hay working inside and mark twain commenting on the outside about the consequences of the united states now having an mpire. >> mckinley ended up fighting what i would call the filipino ar for independence and when mckinley died, i think hay was somewhat terrified of the idea of theodore roosevelt coming into office. they had been friends a long time. he had known theodore since he as a child, 5 years old. he actually he actually stayed with the family for a while so he knew roosevelt well. i think what he hoped was that he could sort of keep roosevelt within the bounds of reasonable diplomacy and reasonable behavior and he ended up doing some things on behalf of roosevelt as a duty to the president that i don't think he was altogether comfortable, i think it was maybe the only time in his life or career that he recognized he might have done some things that brought a ittle dishonor to himself. boy, clemens was so hot in his hetoric

how did teddy roosevelt get to san juan hill in 1898. >> it was a lot of hard trying theater roosevelt said i put the weight he tried his best to form a regiment. it was just the force of will to get him to that spot where he created the iconic moment in 1898. >> he was not regular army he was volunteer. >> did he operate independently? >> yes to the chagrin of commanding officers he certainly have an independent spirit in his own way of doing things and he did have a commanding officer and he was part of the fifth corps. they did have their marching orders as to what their role was going to be. he took on additional roles and that charge at san juan hill a lot of the credit for that does go to colonel roosevelt. >> where is san juan hell. just on the east of santiago. and why was a militarily significant. the reason for his significance was one of the spanish fleet that was holed up in the harbor in santiago. the movie wanted to force thoughtfully out of the they thought the best way to do that was to send a land force to take santiago once he was taken. the fleet in the harbor was go

's at that time the only major industrial country that did not have a central bank to manage the currency and fighter panic. nobody thought about it. there were a few professors and reformers that said we should have a national bank but things are going along pretty well republicans who control the government wasn't too interested teddy roosevelt found banking boring so nobody paid attention that we have a major panic in 19 oh seven the biggest cup until 1929 banks failed left and right insurance compani

teddy roosevelt also wanted to get us into work for a lot of other reasons because he thought the americanpire needed to go. they had a conflict i hated each other. i think roosevelt looked down on hurst and hearst got patronized roosevelt a little bit like richard nixon. so they didn't have a cozy relationship. but this is a great country and the press uses politicians and politicians use the press and i suppose they used eachan other. host: 's call for evan thomas, janice from new york. janice you been very patient. >> caller: hi, thinks for havinf me on. i have a question, comment and just by way of grounding, normally i would not introduce myself this way but i am a former c-span gas as an author and historian. ironically i coanchor watergate. which brings us to my question regarding your comments about nixon. i am ae little bit concerned honestly mr. thomas about the way you kinda use the phrase tribalism to be a little bit dismissive of some of the serious flaws, not only in the country but in our understanding of what this country has historically done and is still doing, nixon by w

but also that was the time under teddy roosevelt administration where there was a lot of recessions going on. times with the country doing well for a couple of years and then it would receive for a couple of years economically. to the point where in the mid-1890s the government, talk about dependency, had to call upon chase j.p. morgan cut them finance the budget. so that was what happened. that was a gift that j.p. morgan gave any return the record influence over issues out of it. that's a start. in 1907 was when it was a huge panic in new york and it required a lot of banks to close as ultimately happen in in 200, almost 100 later, and at the point i'm teddy roosevelt administration turned to j.p. morgan again as he had in the 1890s and he said what can i do to help you help me, basically. what happened was the treasury department fashion $25 million, kind of the first bailout of banks that the government paid for and set a jg morgan here 255 million, figure it out. what j.p. morgan tegucigalpa in his library, major bankers at the time and what he decide to do is parcel of money to some

you know, i think teddy roosevelt what a been [indiscernible] and the fact that we do not have any istty sad. so we'll just have to make sure they are not in office. you bet. based out of washington, would you take this opportunity to [indiscernible] inslee: we are against political terrorism. tell me about antifa. me who antifa is so i can tell you whether that person should be condemned or not. >> what i have been identified as inslee: inslee: all your talk about the movements. >> they attacked a gay liberal actually and put him in the hospital for a week. inslee: , we have been very vigorous against attacks on his community. and we just recently added a statue, and a gun safety statute. this community qualifies for extreme risk protection orders. for removal of a gun. we have continually strengthened our hate crimes statute. and continue to do so. i was thinking you are thinking of an individual. organizationas an you condemn them? inslee: i condemn the violence against anyone. especially this community that is been totally victimized in some anyways. we have the strongest take cri

teddy roosevelt's attorney general creates a special squad of investigators to work on behalf of the department of justice becomes known as the bureau of investigation and by the 1930s the federal bureau of investigation. the fpa's own history -- if you go to their website. they have a pretty long narrative description of the history and they link the creation of an fbi to the progressive movement that is really active in that period of time. the progressive movement is sort of the belief that the federal government must intervene to foster justice and industrial society. response to the sort of label unrest those talked about in previous classes and everything that went on that inspired that terrible working conditions and so forth. the progressive movement inspires things like the fda to ensure the food you are getting has labels and what you're eating is what you are eating. in will eventually 2 things are child labor laws, but it will also create this sort of nationwide law enforcement body that is able to keep tabs throughout the country. it did not exist prior to this. the hist

wouldn't it be great if we could have republicans channel teddy roosevelt for a few days? we just have to make sure they are not in office. [laughter] >> would you take the opportunity to condemn antifa? i am not photogenic, what can i say? >> would you take the opportunity to condemn antifa? gov. inslee: what would you like me to say? want political terrorism from any place. tell me about antifa. tell me who antifa is so i can tell you whether that person should be condemned. you are talking about the movement hurt -- you are talking about the movement. liberalattacked a gay and put him in the hospital for a week, andy ngo. gov. inslee: we have been vigorous, wevigorous, we just rd to our hate crime statute and gun safety statute. we are continually strengthening our pay time -- hate crime statute. >> so you do condemn antifa? violenceee: i condemn against anyone in that community. strongest hate crime laws in the united states. >> i appreciate you. gov. inslee: who gave you that name? the first thing is to remove donald trump who is trying to take away treatment for tens

one would be hard-pressed to find an event where in a comment was not since teddy roosevelt. running against ted kennedy. our carter presidency was having a lot of problems at the time. he should be running for president for a long time. he would be hard-pressed to find two people that were more different. another one who didn't even have indoor plumbing until he was nine years old. they did not like each other very much. >> think you for the introduction. thank you for all of you who are coming here. and to the la times for holding this. it is a great presentation. i do see that miriam won the sticky note contest. both johns and susan books are available and audible. that was the way that i consumed their books because i have to do a lot of driving in southern california. all of these books are where you learned something. that's the reason why she won the sticky note contest. i got the idea to write this book in 2013. i was at a dnc meeting. in washington dc. they have gone on to distinguished careers. in the democratic party. and they started reminiscing about the 1980 con

washington, lincoln, teddy roosevelt, fdr, eisenhower surprised some people, reagan.try of our democracy. now in more recent years -- now, we have to keep in mind, let me say, we have to keep in mind that america has never lived up to its loftiest ideals but the whole ideal of great leadership is to keep us aspiring to do that and that means, among other things, that in times of tragedy, we're compassionate, we're inclusive, we grieve as a nation, as neighbors. now, all through history, those presidents i mentioned have been able to rise to the occasion. now, in more recent years, we've had president clinton after the oklahoma city bombing. president george w. bush after 9/11. president obama after the church shooting in south carolina. >> and newtown as well. >> they were -- they were able to rise to the occasion and pull us together as a country because they were able to give their own sense of the poetry of our national identity. now, i ask you to stop, what everyone thinks of president trump, like him or don't like him, quite not ever made up their mind, he's neve

>> every element from literally wilson and teddy roosevelt and franklin roosevelt to the great society and forward notes on the progress of generations before and generations to come. this is nuts. david: was attacking biden by attacking president obama a smart strategy? >> i think it's tactically mistaken strategically a mistake to say that. obama is not on trial here. there was a referendum against obama much more per referendum against clinton or an entire political system and i'm not sure what good it does for the democratic party to either rehashed or replay the eight years under obama when obama remains popular as an individual and he is not on the ballot. i think part of the dysfunction of these debates is it doesn't speak well for the current status of the party and it's a distraction and a diversion and ultimately a delusion to whatever method the democrats need. >> for a lot of the candidates it's kill or be killed. they will throw anything against the wall and hope it sticks produced at difficult to their david because they kind of after thread that needle. they want to dimi

it took the leadership of teddy roosevelt to ride to it completion, to overcome obstacles and make sure done. this week was the anniversary of vj day in 1945 when in colossal fashion following the only use of atomic weapons in the history of the world, the united states won the war in the pacific, having vanquished tyranny. both on the european front and across the pacific ocean. it took the leadership of franklin roosevelt who did not live to see the victory he engineered. why do we talk about our history every chance we get? very simply, to remind ourselves who we are and in many cases, who we used to be. we're hoping it will be useful for citizens. perhaps the citizens of newark, new jersey. the next time any elected leader there says we're sorry, we just can't get you water to replace the poison in the pipes into your home, you'll have to come get it. we know it's hot. the lines are long and the water is heavy. but there is really no way we could get it to you. remind them that at one time we were the wonder of the world, carving a path through the surface of the earth to join two o

the first modern president really was if not woodrow wilson, it was teddy roosevelt.he had a few fear of the presidency which presents our permitted to do anything and he had this whole idea the store and ship idea. which was he was responsible for the public good. an enormous explosion of executive power has been rippling through us ever since. >> you would attribute the wise and the essentially the more accurate term, modern are agreeable presidency but not to wilson. >> the germ certainly was in wilson. with the idea that the purpose of the president is to interpret and exercise the didn't make clear but he was to interpret the real interests, not the same thing of the american public. presidents were uniquely situated to do that. so probably the most surprising to some more controversial to some, is chapter four where you come out in favor of judicial supervision. as the basic idea that courts should play the role of ensuring liberty as they see it regardless of the majorities and that this is now where the spirit of medicine hamza chance to mark his will. dennis
