in my library at home i have about 12 biographies of theodore roosevelt. and this is just one of them. this is a three volume biography of roosevelt. it's by edmund morris. i want to show you the half of this. -- heft of this. this is the life of theodore roosevelt. that is my book about theodore roosevelt. i obviously a human explanation about the disparity in size, but i would like to do it metaphorically. not in terms of the different -- i don't want these remind me of how much i didn't write. i want to make the explanation metaphorically, not in terms of books but in terms of paintings. theodore roosevelt's life was a mural. all the books written about him indicate there was so much to his life, more to his life, more separate, interesting elements and there were two the life of any other president we've ever had. you probably know about his childhood. he was a weakling. he was asthmatic. he eventually built himself up to be in copper instantly strong. -- in copper hensel -- incomprehensibley strong. he held more offices in government than any other pre

theodore roosevelt, you have found your proper place at last. all hail." that is the end of the quote from the post and the end of the quote from my book. but paul did not hail. roosevelt dismissed the non-hailers as members of a cult of non-mobility. -- non-virility. "it was the supreme test of a man's character." he thought "no triumph of pieces quite so great as the supreme triumphs of war." so how did roosevelt develop this war lust of his? i mentioned, and you already knew i assumed that as a child he was very weak. the only way he could get strong and conquer as mother played him so much that when he red by -- read by candlelight he didn't have the strength of breath to blow up the candle. he had to call a parent to do it. he started a program at his father's urging of bodybuilding. weightlifting, boxing, wrestling, hunting. as a result, before he became a man he began a he-man. the question is what affects did this transformation of his corporeal self have on his ideological self? here is my theory, and again i quote from the golden lad. roosevelt'se

they asked themselves, what the theodore roosevelt had done? the answer was the word for greater missouri. tr was the great pusher of the boy scouts, the godfather nl franklin roosevelt organizes the boy scouts of greater new york to go to bear mountains state park on the hudson river and bring all these inner-city kingd to do or shoes and archery and fishing and ensure the bounties, of nature in the hunt said and unfortunately he went swimming with these boy scouts and we think they are contracting the polio virus and he didn't manifested self until he got to new brunswick and while he was there he went to bed. he had the slats. he didn't feel well and he woke up with no feeling in the lower half of his body. the menu on no studies is nothing to fear but fear itself was another fear and panic and terror. eleanor roosevelt became his florence nightingale and was very generous of her because she had found love letters from the same verses that fdr was having an affair. she put all of that aside. he goes back to hype heart and the hudson to shield

theodore roosevelt, mckinley's career the victory gained by the projection of american valor by manifest destiny. writ large, tr was a proponent of the doctrine of alfred thayer mahan. the growth of the u.s. navy was particularly tied to this development with the necessary armor plating as a happy coincidence to the efficient product of the carnegie steel corporation. the reformist strand in american politics surfaced in the successive generations in the name of republicanism, the disinterested commitment to public interest rather than private individual interest. in this era, this tradition focused on improving the moral tone of the burgeoning cities, on limiting political corruption, and monopolies. "progressivism" was a middle-class movement that sought to control the excesses of industrial laissez-faire capitalism. progressivism led during the first wilson administration to the development of the regulatory state, evidenced by the federal trade commission and the federal reserve board and to complement the interstate commerce commission. following 1912 and the mobilization of the fir

the american question is about life for the liberty of the world. 40 years later, president theodore roosevelthose to advertise america's arrival as a global economic and political power by ordering a convoy of u.s. battleships, a great white fleet, to circumnavigate the earth. and i still, as i go to some countries in various parts of the world, hear people talk in terms of history about the importance of that display, and the meaning of america's engagement as a consequence of that great journey. as president woodrow wilson sought to keep america out of the european war that exactly a century ago was slaughtering the young generation on the battlefields of the somme, the verdun, we understood it. ultimately, our commercial interests, combined with our sense of right and wrong, drew us into that conflict and thrust american leadership into a spotlight that has remained critical and bright at the same time, ever since. so, the world that we live in today is a world that is far critical and bright at the same more complex than the one i just described. it is more crowded, more interdependent, l

you go back to some of the great justices, oliver wendall holmes and holmes was appointed by theodore roosevelt republican. brand ayes was appointed by woodrow wilson, a democrat. yet they often joined together at first in dissent and later their views became the law and it was not polarized along partisan lines, along party lines, but, rather, based on heir shared view of the law. host: our viewers can join this conversation. democrats can call 202-748-8000. republicans 202-748-8001. ndependents, 202-748-8002. the gallup poll recently took a look at what americans think, how americans think the supreme court is doing, whether they approve or disapprove. currently 52% of americans disapprove of the job the supreme court is doing. compared to only 42% that approve. the approval rating has been down since about 2010. since then we know the court has issued some big, controversial rulings. how have those rulings affected the public's confidence in the court? guest: well, i think it all depends on whose ox is being gored. you take the gay marriage case, with which i happen to agree, and many such a

so for me that is always the story i'm writing whether it's theodore roosevelt's leaving new york city to mourn his wife and mother and head out to north dakota to be a cow man, and one of his biographer said, he was the only president who ever read anna karenina and while under three-day search for cattle thieves. [laughter] or abraham lincoln who, when he left springfield to come here as president and took the train to philadelphia to independence hall, you know, he said the political sentiments i entertained have been drawn from the sentiments which are given to the world from this hall. and he said that the goal of his presidency was to save the country invented there, and he added ominously, i would rather be assassinated on this spot than surrender it. obviously the person who did assassinate him is another misfit who left home from baltimore, you know. [laughter] and then i've written about new england missionaries who come to hawaii, like so many people of the 19th century who saw the new maps from expeditions like that of captain cook and resolved to spread the gospel to all t

john: but if you have taken the theodore roosevelt style thing that would ensure -- that would implyhether you still cling to that idea of liberal economics, -- that seems to what you're saying. mr. hammond: the prime minister said clearly the limit to the power of government, that does not mean governments have no power at all. governments do have a power and responsibility to intervene. certainly when markets are broken they have an obligation to intervene to make sure that they work properly and effectively. this should not be anything that alarmed people in the vast who operate responsibly, competitively and getting this right is essential to allowing us to continue to send out patched wrong message that the best way of making people free and prosperous is to have a liberal market economy that works, drives the creation of wealth and distribution of wealth across that economy and a way that sees everyone benefiting from that economic growth john:. can i ask you about something? sterling, which strangely has gone down rather rapidly since brexit. is it roughly the level which you

abandoned their party's presidential nominee, you'd have to go back to the day in june, 1912, when theodore roosevelt walked out of the party. we're now up to 1/3 of republican senators saying they're not going to vote for their party's nominee. that's unpress departmented even going back to 1912. the closest moderate equivalent would be barry goldwater. even then it was a handful, five or six republican senators clustered in the northeast. the former president, dwight eisenhower, cut an ad for him. richard nixon cut an ad for him. the party was a paragon of unity. i think this is really -- since the roosevelt/taft schism over a century ago, this would be the biggest fissure in the republican party. >> we've put up a gallery of those from the house and senate who said they will not support donald trump, but let's go to the two individuals. >> right. >> look at this. >> yes. >> let's go to the two individuals. we have up there arnold schwarzenegger who wasn't a trump supporter from the beginning. mitch mcconnell and paul ryan. >> yes. >> respectively majority leader and speaker of the house. people ar

history eric burns talks about his book "the golden lad: the haunting story of quentin and theodore roosevelt.." he explores the relationships the roosevelt had with his children and specifically with his youngest son, quentin, it was shot down and killed by enemy german pilots during world war i.

you go back to 1912 when theodore roosevelt bolted the party after it renominated william howard taft and not nearly as many republican leaders in that campaign with a former president bolting the party left along with him. we are seeing an unprecedented level of division among republicans ranging from the 50 national security officials who wrote a letter to george h.w. bush basically letting it be known he's not going to vote for the nominee to one-third of senators and governors saying they're not going to vote for the nominee. it really does put the party in a lot of risk in the downballot elections. you have two kind of offsetting risks. one is that traditional republican voters will who feel that they cannot vote for trump seeing all of this will stay home, which will hurt the party. and conversely, there is the risk of the die-hard trump voters, some of them who are clearly angry about what they are seeing, we've seen them heckle republican officials like paul ryan will not vote for the republicans downballot. there's a reason why parties try to avoid this. it's kind of bad any

presidents theodore roosevelt and william howard taft, henry n clover adams, martin john maud and john elliott henry james, and , isabella stewart gardner, and many others. as i decided which of their famous friends and acquaintances to include, i gave references to american figures rather than to foreigners since i thought this would help american readers connect larz and isabel to the broader context of american history with which they were already familiar. this should have been on the screen. sorry. larz and isabel were married in 1897 in boston and spent the first two years of their married life traveling abroad, first to japan and china by way of hawaii. here they are pictured in honolulu. and then a year later to india by way of the suez canal. larz says they needed this time to make plans for their life together. it also gave them an opportunity to experience and experiment with what life as an elite married couple might be like. it certainly gave isabel more time to become accustomed to the ways of the world they were about to enter. larz had grown up with luxury and privilege

party defection from the nominee, you'd have to go back to william howard taft in 1912 when theodore roosevelt against his successor to find the level of fizzier we're seeing. can we spare a thought for melania trump and ivanka trump and the women in the family that are watching this coverage and seeing donald trump quoted this way. i wonder if they'll weigh in. i wonder if we'll hear from his female family members. >> monica, with "the wall street journal"ly, said when he was talking to donald trump, he said ivanka is with me, melania with me. there is loyalty. those were the words he used. >> in the past ivanka has had to come out and defend her father. some allegations came up earlier this year. she said i'm not there with every exchange that my father has but my father is not a groper. that's what she said point blank. this being many months from now we haven't heard from ivanka and melania about this. that's a dynamic. >> he will be one thing to watch in the polls. the women's vote is not monolithic. he is trailing in women 20 points. he is facing enormous deficits among women of color. m

i'm a member of the party of abraham lincoln and theodore roosevelt and ronald reagan and george h.w. bush. it's about the country. i'm disturbed by not just the comments but also the policy issues from russia to nato comments and on it goes. it's hard to discuss policy in this election when we're video. it's frustrating to many of my colleagues and we have to step up and do what we must. >> you talk about your colleagues. the speaker of the house paul ryan said he was sickened by the video but still saying he supports donald trump or at least has not said he's not going to support donald trump. he's having a conference call with you tomorrow. do you think you can convince him to abandon the ticket? >> well, look, i'm a great admirer of speaker ryan and am. a head of the republican party. i think if many of my colleagues who are not elected members of the leadership stand up and do what i have done -- by the way i distance myself from the nominee. i haven't endorsed him before this video. i think as many and more of my colleagues step up that will put pressure on the republican leader

not even in 1912 when theodore roosevelt bolted the party after the renomination of william howard taft. the dissension and the fracture was not as wide. now will that cause mass defection among hard-core republican partisan voters? no, probably not. what it does do is contributes to the problem we've been talking about in the suburbs as we've talked about before, donald trump is the first republican ever at risk of losing college educated white voters. it never happened in the history of polling going back to 1952 and if you look at pennsylvania which you've been talking about and the poll that came out yesterday the maris poll he is trailing not only by 34 points among college educated white women which is an extraordinary number but perhaps even more extraordinary he's trailing by 15 points in pennsylvania among college educated white men who usually vote very heavily republican, and i think those are the sort of voters who are getting the signal from all of this defection voters are usually lean republican that it's okay in this -- in this instance not to go with the partiaries nomi

even 1912 when theodore roosevelt walked out of party.here are virtually no other high-profile current elected officials who are willing to make the case for him. you see every week the extraordinary reach that hillary clinton gets from being able to deploy president obama, michelle obama, bernie sanders, joe biden, elizabeth warren. the list of celebrities doing get out the vote in the final weeks, jay z and, you know, jennifer lopez and katy perry. it's just an extraordinary imbalance and one that reflects one party that, you know, is largely unified, maybe more, around the threat of trump, at least as much as enthusiasm for clinton, and another party that is fundamentally divided over what trump has meant after the election win or lose. >> the house majority leader, a republican, kevin mccarthy, was on "fox & friends" this morning and donald trump was saying these polls are rig against him but mccarthy said it seems like donald trump is going in the wrong direction. let's listen to what he said. >> do we know wind is in our face that s

are able to bring some leverage in the world is because when we're at our best, we're like theodore roosevelt and carry a big stick. ask we're not carrying all that big a stick anymore, and the obama administration instead of speaking softly whenever they were about to do something, they'd hold a press conference. and that was, i think, on both counts the wrongapproach. trish: ambassador, can donald trump change that even in light of this whole tape fiasco, in your view? >> i think so. i think people understand that for all the errors and so forth, he calls it straight. and he will tell you if there's a problem, and he'll try to fix it. and he won't gloss it over, he won't get bogged down in what's the narrative. i think he's a more straightforward guy than that. and i think he will do a good job of building up our military and conducting foreign policy. he's a very experienced negotiator. that'll help on a number of these foreign policy issues. trish: well, kt, ambassador woolsey, thank you very much. some good advice from both of you. >>> this bombshell audiotape of donald trump getting all

. >> reporter: last stop on our price of prosperity tour: theodore roosevelt island, splitting the potomactween virginia and d.c., and a backdrop for buchholz's conclusion. >> when teddy roosevelt was around, there was an ottoman empire there was a hapsburg empire, they controlled millions of people across africa, the middle east and europe and they're gone. prosperity killed them, because they didn't have a way to hold the people together. they didn't have the rituals and the holidays and the pride in their country and that's what we need if we're going to hold ourselves together during periods of prosperity. >> reporter: so buchholz has remedies: big tax credits for having more kids; bonuses for starting to work young and for getting off unemployment insurance; make immigrants and students applying for federal loans visit patriotic sites like this one. >> i would require them to get their passport stamped, not just at j.f.k. or whatever airport they arrive at, i would require them to go to at least five national monuments or museums, maybe here at teddy roosevelt island or the smithsonia

the accepted procedure between nations and my judgment is that we should follow the advice of theodore roosevelt, be strong; maintain a strong position, but also speak softly. i believe that in those cases where international custom calls for the expression of a regret, if that would have kept the summit going, in my judgment it was a proper action. it's not appeasement. it's not soft. i believe we should be stronger than we now are. i believe we should have a stronger military force. i believe we should increase our strength all over the world. but i don't confuse words with strength; and in my judgment if the summit was useful, if it would have brought us closer to peace, that rather than the lie that we told which has been criticized by all responsible people afterwards it would have been far better for us to follow the common diplomatic procedure of expressing regrets and then try to move on. mr. mcgee: mr. vice president. mr. nixon: i think kenne senator -- senator kennedy is wrong on three counts. first of all, he's wrong in thinking even suggesting that mr. khrushchev might have continued

john: if you had taken on this new theodore roosevelt type of thing, that would surely imply -- whethero the idea of liberal economics, it would be a more interventionist government and we have seen before. mr. hammond: the prime minister said very clearly there is a limit to the power of government, but that does not mean government has no power at all. a power andas responsibility to intervene, certainly when markets are broken. they have an obligation to intervene, to make sure they work properly and effectively. this should not be anything that alarms people in the vast majority of businesses who operate responsibly, competitively, and getting this right is essential to allowing us to continue to send out that strong message that the best way of making people free and prosperous is to have a liberal market economy that works, that drives the creation of wealth, and the distribution of wealth across that economy in a way that sees everyone benefiting from that economic growth. you abouti ask something i know you cannot intervene in in, but would be extending your views -- the sterlin

classes, and it was also an era that would begin to stress, along with, or in concert with theodore roosevelt, the tribune of the progressive era, the importance of immersing oneself in the outdoors, which roosevelt, in his characteristic fashion, described as the strenuous life -- the life of , thatnd effort, of labor ensures that the man who does not shrink from danger, hardship, or bitter toil will win the splendid ultimate triumph. era in whichly an both prosperity and poverty, to steal a line from the social reformer henry george, characterize the landscape of the west. it was, however, in the imagination of americans, and era powered by the unrelenting flood tide of tales of adventure and fortune that emanated from the hastily understood landscapes of the west, as early --1849 here in california the mythological west of unlimited opportunity and her roca episodes that rapidly took shape after the civil war, and came to dominate every medium of popular entertainment it would encounter. course, the west of the imagination that takes up the wild west shows, and leaders, the great popular w
