so, if it's not theodore roosevelt -- now, theodore roosevelt -- the republican party split wide openn 1912. that's how woodrow wilson gets in wilson, i think, has, what, 41, 43% of the popular vote that year. i think he gets less of a percentage of the popular vote in 1912 than william jennings bryan does in getting killed in 1908 or something like that. or against mckinley. one of those years. it's really a low turnout. but the party heals itself in 1916, comes damn close to winning. >> host: tr is a republican again. >> guest: it's all very grudging but the party comes together enough where, you know, charles evans hughes goes to bed thinking he is the president elect, and he ain't. and woodrow wilson, before that, was putting together a scenario where, in case he los, he was going to resign and appoint secretary hughes secretary of state, and end the vice president could quit and republicans could take over, because otherwise you have to wait until march back then. republicans win the congressional races in 1918, and you don't need to be a weatherman to know which way the wind is

you know going back to the progressive era at the turn of the century one thousand seven with theodore roosevelt and stretching for a hundred years after that disclosure has been the one piece of campaign regulation that everybody agreed on republicans traditionally in the last couple of decades resisted strict limits they resisted more onerous burdens on political activity but they always agreed that disclosure was good that voters should have information that allowed them to make informed choices at the ballot box and it's only recently it's really the past couple of years since citizens united that there's been this sea change in which republicans who previously spoke out in strong support of disclosure are now coming out against it you know in two thousand there was disclosure loopholes in federal law were closed and it had overwhelming support from the republican party today in the senate are fourteen republican senators who just about a decade ago all voted for disclosure today they've all changed their minds and not a single one of them today when given the opportunity to choose transpare

preservation legacy this country has pursued for more than a century sins the presidency of theodore roosevelt. that is why we call this a political assault on the american environment. it is reckless, it is radical, it is relentless, it is wrong and it is time we stood up to turn this around. [applause] this assault is not about jobs as its proponents claim. it is about putting polluter profits first and putting the rest of us at risk. from the air we breathed the water we drink from the mountains to the sea. government regulations of all kinds account for far less than 1% of all major layoffs in the economy. we have economic data from the bureau of labor statistics that proves that. decades of data make clear that our economy has been strengthened by efforts to keep our environment clean, to keep our workers healthy. two million americans go to work each day cleaning up the air we breathe, the water we drink, the land and wildlife we use and enjoy. the american people didn't ask for this rampage but somebody else did. the corporate polluters who spend hundreds of millions of dollars every ye

so that -- theodore roosevelt is a few one of the near great presidents because of his personality hehave a war. when lincoln was a young man he lamented the fact, the republic had been formed and his generation had no challenge. what's going to be left for us, modest ambitions, maybe a congress, presidency without purpose and then the civil war comes along. i remember jfk saying at one time, could i be a great -- i don't remember but said to have said can i be a great president without a war. clinton wondered the same thing. a war can undo you as with lbj or offer you that chance to make the country come together. certain sense, bush had that chance at 9/11 could he have summoned the country to greatness at that point which did not happen. >> and evan, here's another ample of dwit eisenhower, possibly not getting his due, because he avoided war and one of the most extraordinary moments i think of his presidency, was the suez crisis where everybody was ready to go to war and ike said, sit down. you're not going. >> war is a great temptation. >> yeah. >> particularly if you've never fo

franklin roosevelt, the kennedys, theodore roosevelt. people thought they were not in there fighting for their own class. roosevelt was called a traitor to his class. romney over and over and over again and not just in this event gives the sense that he doesn't care about those hard working americans. he doesn't understand them. he doesn't have any concern for their lives. there's an empathy gap. that's got to correlate with voting in the fall. >> he's correct. i remember growing up in new york, i was brought as an elementary school student to franklin roosevelt's hyde park home. wealthy estate. we looked up to it because they said this was the guy who came from common people. you saw it in the context of this guy came out and fought for us. and he didn't distort the truth. romney claimed the president doesn't have a job plan. listen. >> i've got a five-step plan -- >> we've always encouraged young people take a shot. go for it. take a risk. get the education. barrow money if you have to from your parents. start a business. >> so he's tal

one islington, washington, fdr, almost always in that order that jefferson, jackson, polk, theodore roosevelt, wilson and truman. interesting here, all except for pope. but polk is the exception that proves the rule if there is such a thing as an exception because he's the only president to ever ran on a one term promise. he told the american people if i'm elected i will only serve one term and he kept that promise and no one else has done that. so all eight sought reelection, got it from all but two of those were succeeded by their own party, which as i say is the highest electoral discussion, acceptance being wilson and truman. so history of the electorate are in sync here. let's look at those judged by history to be presidential failures buchanan, my least favorite president. i think he was a man of very low character. pure strength to match and was not much better than buchanan. andrew johnson as i say, lost control of the government. he can't control the government for whatever reason. fillmore. i'm not sure i necessarily think selmer should be a total failure. and then of course departu

less than a decade later republican president theodore roosevelt reined it in on the federal level asl. not only montana. this history has a long history of curtailing corrupting money in politics. but with the citizens united decision, the supreme court of our country erased a century of protecting the fairness of american elections. that opened the door for big corporations, anonymous billionaires and foreign interests to secretly spend hundreds of millions of dollars influencing voters. for any who dismisses this change as politics as usual they should think again. during this year's election, outside spending by g.o.p. shell groups is expected to top $1 billion. that's billion with a b. the names of these new front groups contain words that are warm and fuzzy like freedom and prosperity. but make no mistake, mr. president. there's nothing free about an election purchased by a handful of billionaires for their own self-interest. up just one of those outside groups backed by wealthy oil interests has promised to spend $400 million on negative ads filled with half-truths and distorti
