man who didn't think he was wrong with senator joseph order him ohio and use the menu took on theodore rooseveltbehalf of the soldiers. so the book talks about the conflict between roosevelt and the senator about what would happen to these soldiers. but to put the event in context also talk about everything else that was happening in those years in 1906 and 1907. roosevelt was so angry for what he did, he doubled down, committed his second mistake by rudely treating him brutally not considering any alternate 20 did handled with a soldier state out of the army. fortner was thrown out of public life i roosevelt. he major he was not reelected in the senate. fortner is forgotten. roosevelt is the great president, which i think he should be, but great president and great and sometimes make great mistakes and this was roosevelt's great mistake. >> what drew you to the stories because i'm very involved in theodore roosevelt history of something called the theodore roosevelt association. coincidentally the genesis of the story in washington where i was at the museum of american history i saw the house,

you might say what about theodore roosevelt? a woman who knew him said he danced the way you would expect it, he hopped. these facts about taft's bulk exhaust most people's knowledge about taft and really does anyone ask how he became the president first and then chief justice and still be an almost forgotten figure? he did not sit around and wait for judicial lightning to strike him in march of he spent the 1921. eight years between the end of his presidency and his nomination in 1921 by warren g. harding, keeping himself in the public eye and reminding fellow republicans that he was available. these eight years intrigued me, just how the taft recover from a disastrous presidency to be the logical choice for president warren g. harding? whichesearched the book the university of kansas brought out last fall. it was the brainchild of the creative mind of the now retired and very distinguished director of the kansas press, fred woodard, and his choice made it very easy to search for the book on google. i believe this book belongs

my guess is theodore roosevelt. and i think that the power of the presidency communicates with the country, somewhat diminished by that. that is not to say that they have written some of the most powerful parts of the speech as they made or pronouncements they have issued. john kennedy was a very good writer. some presence had wonderful writers for the scripts. also george hw bush when he became president. , they were great speeches. words are much more important than many people realize. i remember when hillary clinton was running last time and she accused her competition, using words is a huge part of leadership. they have all had the power of communication, lincoln, theodore roosevelt, jack kennedy, words matter and carry-on for the following generations. we still quote this. imagine martin luther king without the power of his words. that is why it is important that we all learn to use the english language. one of the startling marvelous aspects of the wright brothers was the quality of the letters of the wrote.

so i think we have to go back to theodore roosevelt, theodore roosevelt language. i think that, he, he saw it. the president in those days, u. s. was not still the biggest power in the world. now it's tempting because us the hegemony (unintel phrase) power. and the temptation is to impose their will everywhere. but that is not working. would not work. >> still ahead on the program moreno ocampo talks about palestinian statehood and acusations that the court focuses too much on africa. >> we're here to fully get into the nuances of everything that's going on, not just in this country, but around the world. >> what, as if there were no cameras here, would be the best solution? >> this goes to the heart of the argument. >> to tell you the stories that others won't cover. how big do you see this getting? getting the news from the people who are affected. >> people need to demand reform... >> we're here to provide the analysis... the context... and the reporting that allows you to make sense of your world. >> ali velshi on target. >> you're watching talk to al jazeera.

so i think we have to go back to theodore roosevelt, theodore roosevelt language. i think that, he, he saw it. the president in those days, u. s. was not still the biggest power in the world. now it's tempting because us the hegemony (unintel phrase) power. and the temptation is to impose their will everywhere. but that is not working. would not work. >> still ahead on the program moreno ocampo talks about palestinian statehood and acusations that the court focuses too much on africa. >> "inside story" takes you beyond the headlines, beyond the quick cuts, beyond the soundbites. we're giving you a deeper dive into the stories that are making our world what it is. >> you're watching talk to al jazeera. i'm richelle carey. my guest this week is the first prosecutor of the international criminal court, luis mareno ocampo. >> do you support palestinian statehood? >> oh, i, i was a prosecutor in, in a case where palestine came to my office requesting jurisdiction. and, was very interesting because the minister of jus, was in 2009. and the minister of justice of palestin

because he had written terrific books on theodore roosevelt and george washington.o, we talked about and compared reagan to theodore roosevelt. reagan was smitten with that. and so they brought him in and they gave him unfettered access for two years of his administraiton and into his retirement years in simi valley. brian: grover norquist was here seven days after reagan died. six days, june 5, 2004. >> we only know of 62 things named after president reagan. there have been a lot of discussions. we have certainly got a lot of e-mails. new york city is thinking of naming a highway in the city. louisiana just named a highway after president reagan. only 62 things. so when people say we did a lot, but actually, no. there was a lot of discussion prior to reagan's death, but now is the time that i hope everyone at the 50 states will do something significant. brian: that's 11 years ago. how is the project going? craig: it's going well. route 101 is named after him in california. trails the reagan legacy in illinois. occasionally, my wife and i will take long drives acros

i mean, i think if donald trump felt as theodore roosevelt did that he was deprived of the nomination it was stolen from there would be a problem. >> i mean, if nothing else, this is teaching -- it's a great civics lesson because i found myself reading up today on the 48th, 52 conventions. last time you had a situation like this. david, i want to give you a chance to speak on that and the third party point because does it then create a greater likely hood of that as a plan b in effect for the trump campaign? >> well, listen, absolutely go back to teddy roosevelt and that's the election to the republican party split and elected woodro wilson with 43% of the vote. put him in office but where i think it comes in this, jim, for most of the political history, primaries and caucuses the big wigs did select the nominee and back rooms which they did that. since 1960, the nominee of the party has always been determined by the primary and caucus and since 1960 there has never been a brokered convention. there is an openly contested convention since 1976 where regan and ford came in and neither

and the cousin of a president theodore roosevelt but it's because people are not sure whether he has the right stuff that i'm not just talking about republicans touting franklin roosevelt. people are wondering whether he's a lightweight, whether he has the intellectual capacity or the will to be president to lead america in this time of great crisis, the great depression going on in 1932. walter lippman regards him as a fellow who with no particular publications to be presented with an amiable fellow and no great reason to be president in a financier and philosophers of the democratic party calls him an illegal boy scout. just someone who's maybe a thurston howell the third rising to the top in 1932. and he has also you're not sure where he stands on the issues. is he the question of his political honesty and i don't mean whether he has his hands in the till because he never has to do that and he never will do that and his administration is remarkably free of that but where does he stand, where does he stand on the issues? one of the big issues of 1932 is prohibition. it's starting to

the uss theodore roosevelt observed iranian small will boats launching 11 unguided and fox news was the first to report that there was a launch of a medium range ballistic missile capable of striking u.s. military assets in the area and israel. and the u.s. government refused to publicly acknowledge the launch. there are three provocations in the last 14 months. we talk about congress. earlier congress restricted people who visited iran or hold dual iranian citizenship from visiting without a vis a. iran said it is a violation and they vowed to take action. how should the u.s. react? >> those provocations are clearly planned for the obvious reason that the iran sort of tamps things down while the treaty discussions were taking place and now the gloves are off. these missile tests are medium range ballistic missiles and siing cant range on them and designed to carry weapons and designed to carry what? a nuclear weapon. loud message and more so, bofth those tests are in violation of u.n. resolutions that prohibited those tests and what we should do acknowledge the tests took place, and tw

that culturally and temperamental he your father has more in common with franklin roosevelt, theodore roosevelt and even the founding fathers that he does with many people in his own time. >> really? >> i really do. public service was an extension of yourself, it was expected of you. if you could get to the top it was fabulous, but at any level. we all of the story. december 71941, walking across the campus that end over and passes cochran chapel finds out about pearl harbor. he immediately decides he wants to serve, immediately knows he wants to be an aviator and told me that he even considered joining the royal canadian air force because he did not have to be -- and they were already mobilized because of the existing situation with the war in europe. he gets to june 121942, has already written letters to the navy to get signed up. the secretary of war gives an impromptu speech at the graduation. more useful. said no he wanted to strike out on his own. he takes notes. september 21944 here shot out of the sky, flew 58 combat missions. you don't think about did not do enough. all records, follow

reaction was wow and he personifies, your father has more in common with franklin roosevelt, theodore rooseveltnd even the founding fathers than he does with many people in his own time. i really do. where public service was an extension of yourself, it was expected of you, if you can get to the very top of, at any level, he always -- we all know the story but it is worth telling again. and he walks across the campus, and pearl harbor over the radio, 2:20 in the afternoon on december 7th that sunday, he immediately decides he wants to surf, decides to be an aviator and he even considered at that point joining the royal canadian air force because you didn't have to be 18 and they were already mobilized because of the war with -- the existing situation with the war in europe. he gets to june 12th, 1942, he has already written letters to the navy to gets lined up, henry stimson, secretary of war, saying many of you should get a couple years of college, is a long war, more useful than your grandfather's says after byrd, secretary stimson changed your mind, he said no. breaking away from what his fa

if you go back and look at theodore roosevelt and andrew jackson, these people broke the mold. if trump ends up leading the country, every morning will be wild and woolly. you will have the most extraordinary job in the country because you will get up everyday thinking, where is he now? >> yeah, break the mold. like implode every mold we've seen so far. but it made for a very interesting race. and we still have months to go. mr. speaker, great to have you in. thank you for coming on. >>> who should hit the road right now with 14 candidate still in the race? frank luntz asked the focus group for their answer. >>> next, after a rough shake from moderators at earlier presidential rebatdebates, what the american people thinking of the media's coverage of them. find out next when we return to the frank luntz group. >> give me a . . . . . . when a moment turns romantic why pause to take a pill? or stop to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use is approved to treat both erectile dysfunction and the urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night. tell your doctor a

if they break the pledge or if they don't treat me fairly, that is more or less exactly what theodore roosevelte felt he was treated unfairly. the word dr. carson used was "theft." that's exactly the word that roosevelt used in 1912. they broke out in fist fights in the convention haul. >> i don't think we'll see that. >> i don't either. >> are you worried about fracturing within your party, given these comments? almost every single other comment with the exception of ted cruz who said he didn't agree with it, came out blasting trump for the muslim comments. >> there is this enormous divide, not just on this issue but a lot of issues, between the base of the party and the elites of the party. to be perfectly candid, i think all they did, on this issue as well as other issuance, is isolating themselves even more. >> when you look at the polling numbers, what it shows us is that overall, 57% of u.s. adults oppose what donald trump said this week about banning muslims. in the gop, 39% oppose it, 38 support it. so it's not the whole base. >> no. but the intensity of the feeling here, when you saw t

they believed and they were both progressives even though they were democrats very much like theodore roosevelt. that's what led them to work together and it was also love because of his typical disability. she did not -- she believed he was talented and she believed more in his talent than her effort and she really thought you can't not follow, you must lead. that's really the role of first lady and then with the depression hitting and everything almost smash as far as what we know in terms of american life, she takes advantage of that vacuum where everything is up in the air and that's where she starts saying, this is what i'm going to do. i'm simply just a devoted wife helping my husband, you know, and in a way it was. but she did not really start to developing her own agenda until the second or third term, particularly on civil rights, and when he was always more political in saying, well, this is what we can do and can't do, she always brought him back to principle. while they continued as political partners they shared the same values, he often, you know, abandoned them and she was sticki

and she's given away by her uncle theodore roosevelt. any other questions? >> reporter: how did hitler going to eugenics? >> what made it a go into eugenics? when you get into racial purity, it is the natural thing. in terms of pure eugenics' i think guys like himmler were more into it. he was more into racial breeding sort of thing but beyond that, is all part and parcel, he is also a foreigner in germany. he is an austrian, the odd man out and warships the austrian, german people and he feels the austrian germans are being let down by their leadership, even though his father has a job in the government, his father is a german and hitler sees german people of the empire being polluted by jews, particularly by slavs. there's a greater chance the hitler is parked check and he is part jewish simply because of the area in which he lives, a border area. if you get into these areas in eastern europe, everybody -- that is what woodrow wilson could not have self-determination of people. you can draw these borders. i suspect-he does not look guardian. he is not blon

very powerful political forces, one is the republican party which choses a young man named theodore roosevelt and abram hewitt chosen by the democratic party. they have power and they have money. they have ruthlessness in terms of winning election no matter -- any which way that they can. what do we have? we have henry george, we have a lot of energy and anger and so they launch this incredibly grass-roots campaign. he gets back in a wagon and goes to train stations, he goes to factories, five, six, seven, eight times a day and gives a speech on the tail board of this wagon to crowds of hundreds sometimes thousands and that's how they build this kind of momentum, politics in this -- grass-roots politics, that way they work is nobody -- everybody feels like it's a hopeless cause until they feel like it isn't a hopeless cause. i don't want to throw my vote away but now feels like the united labor party has something going on here. maybe i will cast my vote. shift of momentum. that's essentially what happens. in early november he placed second. he gets 68,000 votes, not 100 throw-away votes. for
