teddy roosevelt's mission of protecting the environment for future generations. i look forward to the ability to debate this on the floor of the united states senate the week after next and then to pass it with a strong bipartisan vote and send it to the president for his signature to ensure that this landmark legislation, this historic legislation can be enacted into law. thank you, madam president. the presiding officer: the senator from delaware. mr. carper: madam president, i rise this afternoon -- this evening, rather. i rise this evening to discuss the national environmental policy act of 1969, which is oftentimes referred to as the magna carta of environmental laws. when i think of our nation's most illustrious documents, i'm reminded of americans aspirations, i'm reminded of our declaration of independence and its embrace of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. i'm also reminded of our constitution. delaware is known as the first state because we were the first state to ratify the constitution, september 7, 1877. our constitution is the most repli

my whole life was a parking with a bolder dedicated by teddy roosevelt. a longtime resident and insurance executive said at the coffee shop we can do better. the group assembled. we turned that into an acre of green space and interpretive signs and a life-sized statue of lincoln and douglas in debate. 19 94, c-span went to all the towns in all annoy that had hosted the lincoln and douglas debates and asked if the towns put on the debates, we will bring the debates -- we will bring the cameras and televise the debates. how many of those debates did you play lincoln? >> two of the seven. >> what preparation did you need to do for a three hour debate? question, whoal are lincoln, who are douglas and why? why was that so pivotal? you have to get right with lincoln according to senator paul simon and i have done my best. >> is betraying lincoln a full-time job for you? >> it is now. >> was it for most of the years you did it? >> it was as things could be scheduled. that was all word-of-mouth, marketing as such. that could work into other travel schedules. and

he imitated teddy roosevelt and other politicians. he was not doing racial material. he was doing mockery of politicians but he always wore blackface. what did that have to do with theodore roosevelt? nothing. that was the convention. people understood the mask. even while he was doing material that was totally non-minstrel related, in his minstrel show he was still wearing this blackface. he did other things. the black minstrels often did that. wore blackface. not all of them. some of them did. men.cularly for the end that movie in 1913 were the two end men, that is the constant. and they were good but -- guidebooks and would tell you mostwo end men were appropriately in his costumes and blackface. the rest of them didn't have to be. they often wore it. they would be normal. and they would really open it up. kind of marker of the minstrel show was those two makeupend would wear the and often dialect as well. and the dialect is quite interesting. at the dawn of recorded sound with billy goldman and forward and others, and i how thatys wondered translated, it was very

well over 100 years ago with teddy roosevelt as president of the united states, all the way up to barack obama, presidents talked about the need for universal health care. in my view, the time for talk is over. the time for action is now. [applause] let us stand together and tell the drug companies and insurance companies that we will not tolerate sending 100 billion in profits when so many are underinsured or uninsured. whether they like it or not, we will move to a medicare for all single-payer program. [applause] when we talk about the major issues facing this country, we cannot ignore the existential crisis of climate change. i wish i could tell you don't worry about it, we will build a few more solar panels and a few more wind turbines. that would not be honest. what the scientists are now telling us is that the climate change crisis is much worse than they previously anticipated. polarized caps are melting. oceans are warming. seas are rising at a faster rate. we are seeing more droughts, more extreme weather disturbances. what the united nations is telling us is that if we do not

i want to give a quick update on the teddy roosevelt. we found several more cases on board the ship. we are in the process now of testing 100% of the crew of that ship to ensure that we are able to contain whatever spread might have occurred there on the ship. but i want to emphasize that the ship is operationally capable and can do its mission sm the ship is pulling into guam and no one on the crew will be allowed to leave into guam and we are starting the process of testing 100% of the crew to ensure that we got that contained. the sailors who have been flown off the ship are currently doing fine. none of them have been required to be hospitalized because their symptoms are mild and aches and ains and sore throats and they are in quarantine now on gum. with respect to the marine corps, we have 44 positive test or covid-19. 31 military, five gifflian, five dependents and three contractors and we are preventing the spread of the disease and contain any potential outbreaks and recover the force as quickly as possible. oing across our nava

well, teddy roosevelt, who he liked and admired, he only cited him 25 times over eight years.braham lincoln, about 100 times. i did not put up fdr because fdr times. cited about 50 the prior president who reagan cited the most was dwight david eisenhower. now, it is december 8, 1983. this is the 30th anniversary today of eisenhower's atoms for peace speech at the u.n. reagan is negotiating nuclear arms reductions with the soviet leader before gorbachev appears on the scene. he leaves the meeting out of the clear blue. reagan is dejected. he needs -- he meets the press and they asked about it being the 30th anniversary. reagan says my administration endorses the view of dwight eisenhower completely. we are dedicated to achieving what dwight eisenhower could not. and that is critical for history. six months later, it is the 40th anniversary of d-day. ronald reagan is the first president to travel to normandy to honor our slain troops, and whose troops is he honoring? eisenhower's troops. he says in that speech, i will forever stand for d-day veterans. they are my heroes like the

[cheers and applause] over 100 years ago, teddy roosevelt talked about universal health care and presidentshroughout the years including barack obama and many others have talked about health care as a human right. now is the time to end the talk. now is the time for action. [cheers and applause] together, we are going to take on the health care industry that made $100 billion in profits last year. [booing] we are going to take them on and pass a medicare for all single-payer program. [cheers and applause] donald trump thinks that climate change is a hoax. we believe donald trump is a hoax. [cheers and applause] i will tell you this. are you ready for a very radical proposition? i do not want anybody fainting or collapsing. we've got some ems people there. here it goes. hold your breath. are you ready? our administration will believe in science. [cheers and applause] what the scientists are telling us is that if we do not act extremely aggressively within the next few years, the planet and nation we are going to be leaving our kids and future generations will be increasingly unhealthy and un

it has come down to us in lore as teddy roosevelt saved football.n reality, he got the ball rolling, brought attention to the issue, but it is really the convention in new york city a couple months later that really does start the reform of college football. the history of coaching is really fascinating. intercollegiate athletics that in the u.s.. there are athletic departments that virtually any college and university in the u.s. with intercollegiate athletics, professional coaches, the ncaa. it was established in 19 five -- 1905 to fix the problems. when you have national bureaucracies like the ncaa, it is really hard to undo or get rid of this ritual. it is very much a central part of american colleges and universities. john mccarty was a fascinating texas pioneer. during the 1920's he was here in amarillo, texas and the newspaper editor and a publisher. the materials i am going to show you and talk about today are 1920's through 1940's. he has several books he has written about the area. one i wanted to show you a little bit about is called mave

i am for bernie because he is a modern teddy roosevelt, who was a republican but saw the need to change the way the american structure was for big business. we have the problem that trickles down to everybody. one thing i want to comment is the reporters on tv and everything else and trump, everybody is so close together they might as well reach across and kiss each other. they are not doing a six foot rule to protect themselves when they go home to their families. host: thank you. guest: i was in detroit knocking doors and i posted about it on my social media. i took pictures. i did the last two walks of my route and every other house was boarded up, was raised, was falling apart. entire neighborhoods that have been hollowed out. people have to understand that donald trump did not create all of the pain and misery happening in our communities. our communities were struggling long before trump and trumpism emerged. yes we have to take on the white , supremacy of this administration. yes we need to make sure we stop , these massive corporate giveaways and tax cuts. but we need to do more

( laughter ) >> stephen: what was that? i think that was a tatuine accent. i'm not sure. baby, may the force be with yew all. stick out the top lip and don't move it at all. >> i ate his liver with some fava beans and some nice kiyanti!

( cheers and applause ) my name is beatri

it's about a teddy roosevelt speech and it's about the ingredients that citizens need to keep our republice because were not a democracy, we are a republic, all right? what we need to do. four years later largely because of what donald trump has taught us, what he has exposed from the left, i said i honestly have to write version two, and is called american crusade. it's coming out in may. i think we have the cover up right there. it's about what needs to happen as citizens to go even further. thousands years ago europe was about to be, , was effectively under threat from islamic hordes, crusaders, painted across on the shield and went to jerusalem to defend their faith, to defend their faith. it wasn't perfect but without it we would not have a christian europe today. 240 years ago we had our founders scream at me liberty or give me death without those men, without that moment we wouldn't have the american experiment that we are charged with keeping free today. and four years ago a country rose up and said we're going to make america great again. [applause] we live in a similar moment. an

that's right, teddy roosevelt.uture president wielded this baby as a cowboy and rancher in the dakota territory. i'm jamie colby. thanks so much for watching "strange inheritance." and remember -- you can't take it with you. [ gunshot ] [ thud ] maria: good monday morning, welcome, i'm maria bartiromo, monday march 30th, top stories 6:00 a.m. on the east coast. president trump does expect the country to be well on recovery by june 1st, this as dr. fauci said we could see up to 200,000 deaths in the united states. some members of congress working on stimulus package after trillion dollar relief package was sign intoed law by president trump. house minority leader kevin mccarthy telling me

reagan is the most influential republican since teddy roosevelt and since the civil war, only two democrats have won consecutive presidential elections with a majority of the popular vote, and franklin delano roosevelt did it twice, four times, and barack obama did it twice, and barack obama did it while overcoming racism. so when you have got a person of that accomplishment, i think they would do fine. in our current media environment, i think we ought to remember some of the things president reagan said in his farewell address in addition to the empowering disruption of the city on a hill, he talked about the idea -- he did not phrase it quite like this, but that we needed to reinvigorate the public square. that we needed to have greater public knowledge, and that we needed to reinvigorate public ritual. and it should be a ritual that respects the values of this nation. if president obama were here, i think he would say we have often not lived up to the framers. but that provides us a direction to aim, and so, we can -- i guess we should try believing in facts again. that's a great idea.

. >> but taft's old friend and mentor teddy roosevelt is ab enthusiastic progressive in the republicanly felt that the republican party under taft was starting to be lackeys to big business. they were becoming poodles for the wall street entrepreneurs. >> theodore roosevelt is becoming dissatisfied with the taft administration ask believes he's made a grave mistake. >> the truth of the matter is that when he thought that the only successor to roosevelt could be roosevelt. starting to think maybe i could do this again. >> tim is the cent presidential his torn and former director of the nixon presidential library. tim appears in this series and he is joining me now. it's great to see you. thank you for joining us. >> how did president taft react when he found out his mentor was now his political rival in the presidential race? >> well, as he would later describe it, he felt he lost a friend. he was brokenhearted. he felt betrayed. and the way it happened was that roosevelt disagreed with what a successor was doing. and decided to take advantage of the fact that for the first time in hist

>> we do in terms of the situation of teddy roosevelt. there are initial capacity and sailors on that ship was limited to about 200 a day. we are going to start ramping that up by sending those tests out to other areas. the key is to make sure that we can get a set of crew members that can man those critical functions on the ship and make sure they are clean and get them back on while we take the other crew members off. that's a process we are going through. it is very methodical. we are absolutely accelerating it as we go. i think there are things that are happening within the last 24 hours that came after some of those letters and some of the comments that were made. we are working at it, we are in constant communication with that ship. my own office, i was talking with the ceo yesterday, we are engaged and concerned about it and we are taking all the appropriate steps. >> let me ask you in closing, you are standing on the west coast in front of one of your medical ships and there is another one in the east coast, most of what i believe

in its own way, not unlike 1901 when teddy roosevelt, much younger than william mckinley, takes over and there is this burst of energy, enthusiasm momentum. and then the thing that is also difficult in the category of musings for you all to capture in your minds, is how different the world was in 1992. the cold war has ended. in the midst of a small recession, but not a grievous one. there was this general atmospheric sense of optimism, almost easy optimism in a way that is very hard for us to quite calibrate in our minds right now. just given the state of the world. that prevailed all during clinton's presidency, in part because of him, and in part just because of things that were going on. certainly the climate that w inhabited when he was elected, that is why 9/11 was such a shock to the country. and such a shock to him. he thought he was going to be a domestic president that got to just focus on an era of easy progress. obviously that has changed so much. that was what the world felt like probably in 1992, when bill clinton came along. so, remarkable to think that for us, this is

the aircraft carrier teddy roosevelt basically out of commission in guam because as you know, they have had a number of cases. they are going to test the entire crew on board the carrier. long time since an aircraft carrier in this country was out of commission for any type of reason. as a member of the joint chiefs, what does that say to the chiefs about the scope of this threat, that it could take a carrier out of commission, a carrier your forces could need? >> i think all the chiefs are wrestling with the same issue or same challenges. they want to protect the force, but at the same time, they know they have a mission -- and that is the balance. to admiralfer that gill day as far as what you do on a ship or on a post to protect soldiers, but it's obvious you want to create bubbles and keep the small amount of people in that bubble because if one person comes up with the virus, you don't get into that exponential growth that we see if people are touching a whole bunch of people. from where we sit, the best thing we can do is keep the exposure or the circle that people run into very s

this changes with teddy roosevelt and decisively with woodrow wilson and that gives rise to the fireside chats a number of years later, the presidential press conferences. presidential speech is a fluid and dynamic thing and in some ways the best way to understand trump on this is he is the accelerant, acceleration to the absurd end point of directions presidents were going anyway speaking much more, he speaks a lot of words, intermodal speech, the use of twitter as a constant barrage of presidential words, no prior president has done that. the integration of presidential speech with an ecosystem of affiliated news environment, these were things that were already happening but the best way to understand what trump is doing is a fireside chat that never begins and never ends. it is like a talk radio show that turns on in the morning and keeps going. the reason it is dangerous is to be perfectly -- a huge amount of it is disinformation. it is a state run disinformation and the reason it is dangerous is that it works and the question is what future presidents will learn? will future preside

then you were able to, theaters allowed me to cut my picture taken when i was doing the book on teddy rooseveltand with the two baskets because these have teddy taft and they would run around and somehow always lose and teddy would lose. so i felt such an emotional connection after the red sox went to the nationals this year and i happen to be at a bar in texas and election that night and people, there's a sense i'll run the country somehow when people know there is a team that is not one in a long time and deserves it, is that sense of the underdog. of wanting the pleasure of those kids and those parents when i saw the celebration afterwards, it was great. and chicago cubs having that happen in the red sox having that happen, that is what you want for every team to have that sort of enormous joy. bud: the one thing that you see right from the start, and this is a sociological influence of the game, is something that takes and binds a community together. through thick and thin and you watch people in these situations they were talking about is really nothing like baseball. it is just absolutely

the sink this country needs a teddy roosevelt moment with big tech and we need to start trust-busting again? rep. gabbard: yes i do. [applause] i do. i feel strongly about this. [cheers and applause] talk about it washington that is ruled by the powerful elite, these big tech monopolies, and there are only a small number of them, are at the core of what needs to change on so many levels. but, yes. it begins with updating our antitrust laws so that they actually do apply to big tech. it is about increasing understanding and awareness in washington of what big tech companies are all about so that we can make sure that our laws are protecting the consumer's thusaking sure that we are protecting the consumer -- for taking the consumer, by making sure that the internet, which is supposed to be this universal equalizer, actually provides that equal opportunity for the start up journalist, or the star single mom at home starting her own online small business, or for someone who is starting their own youtube channel, talking about whatever they want to talk about. we got a lot of work to do i

you talk about sometimes teddy roosevelt used to say, lincoln might not have been remembered if therecrisis is an important thing for a president if they want to be remembered. but it's more important that he mobilize the power you have in a war to get the citizens and the action and the products necessary to get to the hospitals right away. so i think it's a good analogy. this is a huge crisis for our country and for the world. >> it's interesting because i perked up too as well. and you took from president trump's briefing tonight that he doesn't plan on calling former presidents for advice during this crisis. why did that stand out to you as well? >> well, one of the things we have seen in our former presidents is they know that the previous presidents are the only one who is have lived through the kind of sur moil and anxiety. so when trueman came in after world war ii and needed to get relief to europe, he called on herbert hoover, because he knew he had done that. lbj goes down to independence, missouri, to give trueman the first medicare card. and clinton and bush became good f

that certainly came from teddy roosevelt, who was himself an independent-minded president and raisedis children to be similarly inclined. susan: the aforementioned john nance garner was around during some time in this congress. i read about something that the two of them created the board of education, where they brought members together. how did that function? professor green: this was an interesting example of how you can be both a partisan leader bipartisan, or more emphasis on cooperation. even though longworth believed strongly in the party but he was not afraid to open his door to democrats and work with the democratic leadership, including john nance garner. so they would get together in this board of education and it was kind of a social scene. it was a way for them to socialize, interact with each other, to communicate, so there were not misunderstandings about what each party was going to do. the kind of idea that in order for politics to work, you need to communicate, even with those you disagree with. i believe that alcohol was also served at the board of education meetin

just after giving it, brown says she came across a quote from teddy roosevelt, which still hangs in herounts. it's not the person who points out how the strong person stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done it better. the credit belongs to the person who's in the arena. >> whitaker: why is that so profound, to you? >> brown: because there are so many cheap seats in the world today. full of people who will never, never go into the arena. >> whitaker: like, online critics? >> brown: yeah. faceless, nameless, who will never start their own business or try to do something. >> colonel halfhill: when i met brenÉ, i showed her a card i'd been carrying in my wallet for, at that time, 22 years. and it's the theodore roosevelt quote. and i received that card from a wing commander when i was a second lieutenant. and that card represented for me everything i wanted to be as a military officer. i wanted to do the hard things. i wanted to step into the arena. but i wasn't. and getting into her work and understanding that work allowed me a language to know why. >> whitaker: so what is the

answer but there are always trends in the media and even within the presidency we talk about teddy rooseveltnto fdr's radio addresses where he uses rhetoric that everyday americans can understand. but i think the biggest thing with television being introduced into the presidency is the idea of immediate institution. douglas gets into that with kennedy a little more but the idea that there are these pr agencies -- like pr comes into existence in this era because there is a way to use the media , not even paid advertising, to make your message more known and make it credible and make people jump on board and the idea that there are these norms that have to be addressed and understood with television as well. so i think the idea that there is this institution behind television and not just the medium itself. not just the fact that it is visual but that there is an institution surrounding it and what it changes.>> that is excellent and a great observation. and if you notice they showed him walking up to his desk. they showed the tv cameras. and frequently footage of eisenhower in the oval office
