many republican progressives in the west wanted him replaced on the ticket with theodore roosevelt junior. just four months later, before the "dump coolidge" sentiment could crystallize, the president died. coolidge felt morally bound to carry on harding's policies until the next election. this meant the new president would keep his predecessor's cabinet intact. among those he retained was secretary of commerce herbert hoover. since entering the cabinet in 1921, hoover had rapidly established himself as one of the most able and energetic of harding's advisors.

with theodore roosevelt. theodore roosevelt, in fact, des neigh itted the malhorn national wildlife refuge. that's complicated timing and comes into a more forceful era with the progressive era and then the bureau of land management. good luck getting the start date for that thing. it's the general land office. from the early 1880s which passes that land, distributed land and then becomes kind of an e ineffective steward of the forest reserves and people have often noticed that frederick jackson turner tells us that homesteading ended. the general land office continued, in some ways more claims, not successful ones after the end of the frontier than the before. 1930s, progressive era action, taylor grazing act creates the grazing service which regulates and allocates excess to the grazing lands. the dust bowl is one good explanation for the lobbying force that led to that. general land office, merge in 1946 and doesn't look like a progressive era timing and goes back to that. people, students love this. when

so that's the era of theodore roosevelt. it's not an impressive person really. he did have booker t. washington come to the white house. he did make some efforts, but he clearly was a person who thought white women should be having more babies, because they would otherwise out reproduced by the darker people. so it's a tough aspect of this era. and there's some border crossing in these issues of public lands. i don't know if it's heartening or striking, but there are places to put our attention that the african-american soldiers in the army were sometimes sent, yellowstone was managed and operated by the army before the national park service was created. black soldiers were there. nearly everyone who goes to yellowstone in early years, privileged white visitors, hunters and tourists, they often have black servants there. that's interesting. they often referred to the cook. that's an interesting place to be. so there is diversity in the story but certainly not in the decision-making direction-setting way. the park service of progressive era classic organization h

gifford pinchot and theodore roosevelt. were they utilitarians? were they nature lovers? were they hybrids beyond characterization? and miller's book you got a few chapters from that, you can see how complicated pinchot was. he was not just a how many board feet do we have here. he was really a person who loved being in natural environments, whose children grew up with -- grew up with that. his grandchildren have that quality. had the great privilege of speaking at the pinchot institute in washington. it was a little bit scary. it was a big, solemn group. i come in, there are two people in the front row wearing nametags, nothing scary about that but it said gifford iran pinchot 3r and peter pinchot. they're wonderful people. no reason to be scared of them. i was scared of them. so anyway, but they are mixed. and to cast, there was some value, i guess in the clarity you thought you would get if you put john muir over here and gifford pinchot over there and you had mr. utilitarian and mr. preservationist and you had them separate. i guess people dream of that kind of clarit

this broadcast tonight right here in storm team4 weather center, joined by meteorologist somara theodore. amelia draper, live in galveston, texas. we'll get to her in a minute. but first, we want to talk about the track of the system. the fact it's now a storm is not really the concern. it's the fact that this system has parked itself over texas and it's not going anywhere. >> precisely. we're not even really tracking the storm movement. we're tracking the rain at this point. because the national hurricane center has deemed it stationary. so right now, if you don't know, we have downgraded it to a tropical storm, winds at 65 miles per hour. take a look, though. that significant bit of information, the movement, it is stationary. it's going to be dumping copious amounts of rain over the coast in texas. now take a look at the overall storm here. you can see the core swathed south of austin in san antonio. we have heavy rain bands reaching up to dallas. but right now, the heaviest rain falling for southern louisiana and lake charles. they're expecting anywhere from 15 to 20 inches of rain.

for now things are looking good. >> samara theodore, appreciate it. we aren't expecting severe weather in the area for the weekend, but we want to remind you that our nbc washington app can help you stay safe. you can sign up for breaking weather alerts. you heard amelia talking about it. that's how they were using the app to stay safe in houston where they were at. you can download the app. up next, the nationals weren't happy after their loss on friday night. co >>> this is the xfinity sports desk. >> chris myles here in the csn studios. over the last five years the red skins are 16 and 4 in the preseason. they've made the playoffs twice in that time period. what that tells us? their 0 and 2 start this preseason so far means absolutely nothing. what does matter is being more effective on offense. don't be fooled by decent stats in the first preseason game. the first team offense went three and out on their own lead, two drops. in the second preseason game against the packers, the burgundy and gold had four ugly drives and finally scored against the

republican progressive theodore roosevelt. he served as president and was out of office for a term. then he sought the republican nomination again in 1912. as he ran for office, one of the planks on which he ran was condemning the interference of the supreme court with progressive era legislation. and he gave a very famous address, a very well attended address covered on the front page of "the new york times" in carnegie hall. in which he lambasted the supreme court and he lambasted what he called the bake shop case, that's what it was called, the bake shop case. cases used to be called by generic cases like the lottery case, contraceptives case, but now we have to memorize the names. at any rate, it was the bake shop case and he had stole the virtues of his favorite justice who he put on the court. that was oliver wendell holmes jr. in that speech it made it into the headlines that he was praising holmes in his approach in the lochner case. so that made the case famous. he was denied the republican nomination and then moved to a third party. this may sound somewhat familiar in toda
