for every theodore roosevelt we need millions and millions that were willing to write the letter. it helps and makes a difference and why we have these places. and i wish i could tell you to buy the book and have it all figured out. >> if we all do it it changes the world. >>. >> i am a big fan and those guests are very impressive but i've always wondered you two are a great pair so how did you hook up with dan johnson? >> yes i have a podcast and the question was about my cohost character i knew i wanted to start a podcast in 2013 i just quit my job at google to go full-time to be an outdoor writer regarding realize now i have all this free time i better do something so the podcast was the natural next step. i am like the straightlaced normal bookish kind of guy. i realized i needed a being to my yang so i knew i needed somebody like that and i met a guy like that a few years before learning to film the outdoor films to have a huge personality with only nine fingers which made him stand out. so talk about developing a podcast he seemed a good balance of my over intellectual natur

. >> so here you have theodore roosevelt. we find that. >> i think in a newspaper clipping. from may of 1912, and with taft and roosevelt making scream through ohio and newspapers will reporting on that. >> use a lot of quotes from richard nixon. the conversation with monica. i think that is would this was after the presidency so next was a little bit more unfiltered perhaps her lease is coming out it was getting window into some of his thinking on his mind. >> one of the more unusual relationships mr. party, is jamie carter and gerald ford. very bitter campaign in 19796 pretty. >> it was incredibly bitter. they hated one another. and yet would they both went to a funeral after the presidency, they it's been a lot of time in the plane and they realized that it they really like each other. of course, gerald ford's funeral, jamie carter spoke and said that probably no two presidents have enjoyed such a close relationship as they did. they become very warm and the friendship. >> harry truman is also quoted in error couple of times. he was willing to speak on the record i guess.

so one of them was in 1912 it's reputed that theodore roosevelt said that taft had the brains of a guinea pig. so it's a great memorable line, but it's nowhere to be found, at least that i could find. >> so here you have theater roosevelt talk about william howard taft is a fat head. where did you find that? >> where did i find that i think that was in a newspaper clipping from may of 1912, i want to say. and both taft and roosevelt were making swings through ohio, and newspapers were reporting on what they said. >> you use a lot of quotes from richard nixon in his conversations with monica. >> i think that is when his presidency and nixon was a little more unfiltered perhaps. or at least is coming out and we are getting a window into some of his thinking, some of his mind. >> one of the more unusual relationships with jimmy carter and gerald ford. very bitter campaign in 1976. >> oh yes it was incredibly bitter. they hated one another, and yet when they both went to sit out funeral, after the presidencies, they have been spending a lot of time on the plane and realized they didn't like e

wrote a short two-sentence letter, in typical theodore roosevelt bravado style.etary shaw, i think our coinage is artistically of atrocious hideousness.

. >> a century ago, president theodore roosevelt's invitation of booker t. washington to dine ath the house was taken as an outrage in many quarters. america today is a world away from the cruelnd prideful bigotry of that time. there is no better evidence ofec this than the on of an african-american to the presidency of the unittes.be let there o reason now -- [ cheers and alause ] let there be no reason now for any american to fail to cherish their citizenship in ts, the greatest nation on earth. [ cheers and applause ]e >>en went on to say he uld do everything he could to help the incoming president, bara obama. and he even, you know, had the privilege of having barack obama eulogize him at his passing. >> mm-hmm. mm-hmm.ow >>as that relationship? >> you know, it was -- it had its moments, yoknow, because they disagreed on things, but john believed in thp it of the debate and believed in the righteousness of the debate. that speech to me, when i read it, because he previewed it for me, i've never heard in i will never hear a speech as good as that ever aga

0 percent interest rates effectively and you have unlimited credit available to what under theodore roosevelt in american history would have been called monopolies but continue well of course i would say that the fed are like in medieval times they're supposedly the ones that have all the knowledge they have a special book that nobody else can read there's no printing press there's no ability to read and understand and sit in a room and read this knowledge and share it allegedly but there what they're doing to what they see is wrong is money printing which is the equivalent of putting a leech on somebody's head or drilling a hole in it and putting the leech on top of it trying to suck out the spear as the evil spirits and and terms of what the fed is than and whether or not it's you know we're in bubble territory or who's driving who member i keep on saying what came 1st the chicken or the fed because if you look at this chart of apple in tesla you know they were going up and down sometimes in tandem sometimes not until. when the fed started intervening in the repo market and now you see them

as theodore roosevelt once said and i recognize the irony to quote somebody is long dead making a claim about the future but he said a great democracy has got to be progressive or it will cease to be either great or a democracy. i think that's right. we have to look forward the neoliberal era is what put us in this moment of crisis. the fight for a great democracy will require courage and resolv resolve. it cannot be nostalgic because it was last within reach from our grasp. so to save democracy in america we have to achieve democracy in america. and that is the hope of the book giving us a blueprint how we can do that. thank you very much for listening and coming out tonight. i will be happy to answer questions. [applause] >> with a united democracy. that you pointed out that lincoln set a house divided cannot stand you can't have a country those that on a very fundamental level and the constitution is made for people to provide peaceful structure. so i don't suppose we mean to say we could ever get rid of these very fundamentally different ideas of what direction or maybe you didn't m

open their eyes to the legacy of their great-great-great-uncle andrew haswell green, a man theodore roosevelt of greater new york." >> nobody told us the story. >> i went through 50-some-odd years of my life and had no clue how important he was. >> john comes to suspect that may be because of the scandal surrounding green's death in 1903. >> a man approached him and accused him of seeing his mistress and shot him in the back. [ woman screams ] >> the stranger -- his name was cornelius williams -- shot andrew green five times, killing the man instantly. he made no attempt to escape, made no attempt to deny what he had done. >> the confessed killer claims green and a brothel owner named bessie davis were part of a conspiracy against him. newspapers across the country relish the salacious story. >> this was a very troubling, mysterious set of circumstances, and andrew green was under this cloud of suspicion of having lived a double life. >> the police determine green was a victim of mistaken identity. or was it payback from the political machine that he had taken down? whatever the case, the dam

black communities questioned blind loyalty to the, quote, party of lincoln, although president theodore roosevelt earned black accolades and white southern violence, trotter point it out the gm had done little for, quote, the colored people, sense the collapse of radical reconstruction over 20 years before. rather than ends for this 14th o the constitution which established equal protection under law and prevented denial on the basis of, quote, race, color, and previous condition of servitude, roosevelt and mckinley and arthur focused on building lily white republican fourth in the south. he the result was a republican party that bore little resemblance to the consent of the ged and the radicalism of senators charles sumner and thaddeus stevens. the only way to prevent cases like rogers from happening again, trotter concluded, was for northern black voters to recognize the power to swing local elects away from the party or candidate who betrayed black demand. that's guardian told leaders are rogers kidnapping kidnapping ths a right to expect the national government in the hands of the republican

i-see people on social media acting as if he's the second coming of theodore roosevelt. >> it's true. reasons are why people should want him to testify under oath. kellyanne conway, when he's talking on television, he isn't under oath. there's a way to get him under oath. it's not clear at this point that republicans are interested in hearing his claim. it's also not clear what sort of evidentiary record he has. there's been this huge document dump and some of them have come out. you heard from schiff saying they are still going over some of these documents. it's not clear if he has documents or if he's essentially a lot of the information that came out on the impeachment hearing from all of the hours of testimony. that essentially sent the same thing. this was a political errand to use fiona hill's argument. some did suggest that trump knew. how he would know what's in trump's hand is unclear. but it might be worth having him before congress to talk about it. >> it does square with a lot of things that we know that have been ascertained. president trump in the rough transcript says t

although president theodore roosevelt earned white's accolades in white southern violent scorn for inviting booker t. washington to die at the white house the year before trotter pointed out the gop had done little for the colored people sent the collapse of radical reconstruction 20 years before. rather than enforce the 14th and 15th amendment to the constitution which established equal protection under federal law and prevented denial of franchise on the base of color, and previous condition of servitude, roosevelt focused on rolling lily white republican support in the south . the result trotter argued was a republican party that bore little resemblance to the consent of the governed and radicalism of senators charles sumner and thaddeus stevens. the only way to prevent cases like rogers from happening again trotter concluded was for voters to recognize their power to swing elections from any party or candidate who betrayed black demands. as the guardian told readers soon after rogers kidnapping, the negro has a right to accept the national government in the hands of the republican party

theodore roosevelt was her uncle, her father's brother, and whilst she was a woman of wealth, she came from a very troubled family. amy: so teddy roosevelt, the president of the united states, his brother died at the age of 34 of alcoholism. blanche: yes. and eleanor roosevelt's lifefe was really quite miserable until she went off to a wonderful school and had a great headmistress and teacher and mentor, marie sylvestre, i'm spelling it, because there is no biography of her. this was an incredibly wonderful school in which there was creativity. it was really for the essentially affluent children of the affluent french, german, american class. she was a mentor of the bloomsbury crowd. she's a fascinating woman, but she recognized, eleanor's brilliance, and eleanor's leadership, and eleanor's great abilities as a writer, and we don't give eleanor enough credit for the e fact that she was also primarily a writer. i mean, she wrote dozens of books plus a column every day after 1936. amy: as first every single day. blanche: yes. amy: which went on for 4 terms right, and then continued until

democrats acting as if this guy is the second coming of theodore roosevelt. >> sean: good line.way you did forget that he also is now being looked into, taking a million dollars and not reporting it to russia. then you have lawrence o'donnell. i met lawrence o'donnell at the conspiracy channel msdnc. he reviewed how the fake news media truly and in many ways believes all of this nonsense. take a look. >> cnn, which is sort of -- we're recall playing it down the middle, except we hate trump. >> no, they don't. 1/3 of the people on their payroll love trump. you are guaranteed on any hour of cnn to minimum one third of the programming will be supportive of trump. someone on their payroll saying here's why trump's right. >> yeah, well, they bring someone on to do that. >> yeah. they used to have -- their hosts don't do that. >> their host don't that's why trump wants you to watch cnn instead of msnbc because he knows on msnbc there will be no one defending him because we don't bring on liars. >> no one defending him. everyone is a liar. oh. wow. sweeping with a broad brush there law

democrats are acting as if this guy is the second coming of theodore roosevelt. >> jesse: and now president trump put together a legal dream team with ken starr, alan dershowitz says he will make a constitutional argument against impeachment. greg gutfeld, star witness. lev parnas. a lot of blockbuster revelations. >> greg: he has the stench of avenaeti. this is good news greg. would you like to see good news greg? everybody says i'm too negative. for the media, half the governments that indulge this farce, things have to be good for this country, right? it's not like america is missing these clowns at the capitol or at cnn. why is that? this is the irony. the successful state of the country has enabled this farce to continue. it's like a peacock with his feathers. it's something that he can carry along because he can. so it's a good sign. what i haven't quoted in awhile? >> jesse: scott? >> greg: yeah, scott at dam. >> dana: frank. >> greg: okay. everybody drink. trump has had the best month in his administration. he's got two trade deals, he killed the terrorist, got the stock market brea

think people out there in social media, democrats acting as if this guys a second coming of theodore roosevelt. see have how do you, sir, think about partners and how he fits into this picture if at all. >> well he should not fit into this picture at all, really, dana. one, he is simply a street operative from the ukraine that has some very serious legal problems, not only in the ukraine but in our country. so i don't think that he should be given any credibility whatsoever, especially, his ridiculous statement that he thinks that the president knew what he was doing. i mean, talk about arrogance that the president would know what this guy wandering around the ukraine is doing is absurd. it is very interesting, because just the other day, i think we heard adam schiff, once again, say that witnesses lie, we can't trust witnesses well, here is your witness, don't you think he's lying? >> dana: what do you think, sir, about witnesses in this question that the senate will take up next week, should there be witnesses that are called and heard, how should republicans try to beat back that request fr

hearings in the late 19th and early 20th centuries exposed favoritism, which is how theodore roosevelt began his career, investigating these issues. . -- prosecutions and other laws followed this oversight. numerous appointees and advisors went to jail as a consequent. residential misconduct was common -- presidential misconduct was common and commonly overseen by congress. it was one of congress' key duties. century, this frequent misuse of presentism -- residential power through favoritism was connected to what eisenhower called the rise of the military-industrial complex. peacetime military-industrial complex. warned of thisd phenomenon, especially in the investigation following the alleged misuse of military moneys. he predicted that the united states would find itself in a situation where presidents would use their war powers and unaccountable ways. becamelly, and he president, he was accused of doing this. 1950,r robert taft, in criticized truman for conducting "police actions without congressional oversight." and robert taft predicted that this would open the door for presidenti

so the arena -- it seems to me used that word the arena a couple times, not just theodore roosevelt ishis will be a real trial or a fake trial. one or the other, a trial without witnesses is not a trial, full stop. it's a fake proceeding. and a coverup, as chuck schumer said. even if you look at some of the practical things she has to do like decide who the house managers will be, the prosecutors in this case, if it's just opening and closing statements, she wants or ra tors. she wants lit guytors, people good at questioning witnesses. those are two sometimes different kinds of people. maybe adam schiff is both, but she needs to think about what her strategy is, and this strategy is it working for her. it's very possible that this will get delayed all the way until february 4th when the state of the union takes place. what i know democrats are hoping is that donald trump is not allowed to get up there and say front of the house of representatives and the whole country i've been vindicated, it's a witch hunt. if it's more andrew cloud like bill clinton, that's not good for him political

to get people to appreciate what it's like to be in the shoes to be the man of the arena as theodore roosevelt said. let me also suggest something that land of hope relates the story of the end of the civil war in april of 1865, in a way that might hold some lessons for our fellow countrymen today who seem to regard the vest tajes tajesages -- vestiges of the american past with contempt. this is a longer passage here but on april 9, after last flurry of feudal resistance lee faced facts and arranged to meet grant at a courthouse to surrender his army. he could not formally surrender for the whole of the confederacy but his surrender would represent the end of the confederate cause. it was a poignant scene, disnyed and and sad, a terrible storm has finally exhausted itself, leaving behind a strange and reverent calm burn purged of%. the two men had known one another in the mexican war and had not seen each other in 20 years. lee arrived first we aring his elegant dress uniform, soon to be joined byiant, a muddy coat and muddy boots. grant was a fashion plate. theyed so one another a deep and re

was earning about $40000 a year and the only person in america earning more at that time was theodore rooseveltrned 50000. she decided that she loved bob collier but bob collier did not love her. condÉ was a good second for her interview but he was not afterod her money that he understood she held the whip hand as far as society was concerned. only problem was condÉ understood society was changing. women were changing. they are always changing. they wanted to become independent and they wanted the vote and they wanted their thoughts to be recognized and while certainly clarice felt that was for her to she did not like the idea of working for a living because that was beneaths a member of the 400 on the social register. instead after two years of marriage where she had twoo children, the son first and the daughter. she decided she would go to paris and become a soprano. [inaudible] her three sisters lived there as well and one had been supporting the artist -- as his moneymaker basically for the previous 20 years. that isn't very good for a marriage obviously.vi condÉ decided in 1904 he would se

in philadelphia, theodore roosevelt said, "any man who refuses to play the star-spangled banner in this time of crisis should be forced to pack up and return to the country he came from." in baltimore, a boston symphony concert -- they were on the road doing a little tour -- a boston symphony concert was canceled when it was feared a riot might erupt. there was no concert. a large rally was held anyway. it was led by a former politician over there. cries of "kill muck" rang out at the rally. it was a vicious scene. i describe it in some detail in the book. in new york, karl muck became the target of a toxic campaign to keep him off the stage. the effort failed. he performed a few concerts there. they were well reviewed. there were police officers stationed in the concert hall. muck's fate was hardly secure. back in boston on the night of karl muck was, arrested. he was not charged with any crime. he was hauled off to the local jail and a few weeks later, he would be shipped off to a place called fort oglethorpe in georgia, which was a place that held german prisoners. not necessarily wa

chose one of its most intrepid agent, kermit roosevelt actually, the grandson of theodore roosevelt to sneak into iran in late july 1953 and begin organizing the coup. now what can he do? first of all, he began bribing newspaper editors and columnists and reporters to write all sorts of defamatory lies about mosadek in the newspaper. secondly, he began bribing members of parliament, and leaders of political parties that were part of mosadek's coalition so they would quit the coalition or begin to denounce mosadek. he began bribing mule whats so that a tri -- at friday prayers in the mosque, people would hear denunciation of mosadek as being against the islamic faith. he also threw the military attache and began bribing mid-ranking military officer, so they would be ready with their units to join the coup when the moment came. one of the most brilliant ideas that he had was to sew upheaval on the streets of tehran. he got into the mobs are us business. he was able to recruit several street gang leaders including the most famous and flamboyant one in tehran, shaban the brainless who ran

think about jack kemp and his inspiration for this so many years ago, he frequently quoted theodore roosevelt's great quote that was, nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care. and certainly that is apropos here. because mr. peters and the veterans affair committees and the members both republican and democrat on the house financial services committee, we care about solving this crisis. we care about working with our local partners to make our communities a better place. soy thank my friend, mr. stivers, for his work, and my friend mr. peters. i urge a yes vote on this bill and yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from arkansas yields. the gentlewoman from california. ms. waters: madam speaker, i yield myself the balance of the time. i want to again thank representatives peters and heck for bringing forth this important legislation. we were reminded only last week of the commitment of those who served in the united states armed services. we must continue to do all we can to ensure that those who have served receive the support they nee

jay clapper said they're treating him like theodore roosevelt. this has gotten to be absurd.ed the impeachment, the articles over, because they were waiting for parnas' material to come in and for the g a ao report because she didn't have a crime and she didn't have -- and she had no evidence. i think what has to happen, i think msnbc, phil griffin, rachel madd maddow, there oughte an investigation -- maria: she said she's been working on this for months. >> she ad admitted she was worg on this for months. we ought to have a full investigation and pelosi and schiff ought to be open for how long they've been working on this. this has gotten to become a comic theater. i advocated for this to be a long trial and to get a lot of witnesses, to get what comey, brennan, what the whistleblower, all these did. it's so embarrassing what the democrats are doing. i think they ought to maybe dismiss this as being a joke. if lev parnas, saint lev parnas, if that's the best they've got, this thing is a complete farce. maria: when you look at the constant coming up with more dirt and trying
