theodore roosevelt wants to move far faster and progressive maneuvers.he is frustrated with taft so he says screw it i'm going to run against this guy that i and wanted to be the next president. i'm going to start a new party, i will endorse women's suffrage, i'm going to ask jean adams the most famous women in america, if you don't know who she is looker up. i'll talk about her on thursday. i will ask her to talk about me in the nominating convention. she resides in wisconsin, a hotbed of socialism, republican progressive politics, wisconsin is worthy -- come from. the university of wisconsin, having mentioned that. ? invented this thing called progressive idea, a pitcher progressives, the idea that the public university should be in the service of the state. it's going to produce experts and answers and solve social problems. he's in milwaukee, this is a place where he thinks he can get a lot of republican and progressive votes. he's giving a campaign speech and a angry saloon keeper, it's not too hard to find a saloon keeper and milwaukee, tries to as

perot he has two evergreen , heroes and it's theodore roosevelt and winston churchill. and he takes a lot from them. we forget now that both of them were considered in t.r.'s case a damn cowboy when roosevelt became president, he was just -- mckinley was assassinated. and the republican party of mark hanna and the old mckinley machine didn't trust t.r. he was considered an iconoclast and individualist and the cowboy notion. ross perot grew up in texas, and his father was a cotton broker. but he also broke horses, went to cattle auctions, considered himself a bit of a texas cowboy. and everything about theodore roosevelt is impressed in ross and i think gave him courage, if t.r. can do a bull moose party, why can't i run in 1992? and churchill, it goes without saying, anybody who loves grit, winston churchill is your figure and the two people he admires most. in his office a portrait of george washington and talks about the founding fathers. but which founding father ross perot is like, i thought about in today. patrick henry. we always talk about the other founding fathe

the election, the four-way election between taft, woodrow wilson, theodore roosevelt who decided to come out of retirement, come back from african safari and run as the head of the progressive party. also known as the bull moose party, as well as the fourth major candidate that year was eugene debs, a socialist whose readings you learned about how he came through the labor movement to consider himself a socialist. he pulled 6% of the votes in the is 1912 election, almost a million votes. again, i think everybody across that spectrum would have defined themselves in some sense as a progressive. so again, let's put some more fine notes on our definition of progressive. progressivism. it was a commitment to some sort of reform in society. often using local, state or federal governmental means. i think too often in u.s. history classes we talk about kind of the federal level of progressivism, it turns into the discussion of wilson versus roosevelt. i want to tell you it's really starting at the grass roots in cities and states and territories and moving upward to the federal level. it was a

theodore roosevelt was an old-money boy and his solution to all of this was the vigorous life. particularly time spent in the great outdoors. and so in his very famous attempt to invigorate himself and his class, theodore roosevelt would hike mountains, hunt big game, engage in cattle ranching in the bad lands, lead military units and encourage his fellow white men to procreate as much as possible. these were some of his solutions, this vigorous life. these concerns from neurotic elites or confused, overwhelmed intellectuals, they may seem trivial when compared to the labor strife and the economic turmoil of the late 19th century and indeed to a large extent they are. but the point here is that elites were just as interested in using central park and other parks for themselves as they were in creating the park as an outlet to create discontent among the lower sorts. we see them enjoying central park here. it have point, in other words, is that during the gilded age, there was disenhancement coming from all directions. from those who needed a break from the monotany, and those w

one thing that strikes me and i know this much about theodore roosevelt. i think if he was a figure in his time. doing adventures doing shot and then carrying on the speech that he was delivering. great question. jeff says you had expressed skepticism about whether the campaign in the position are reflected with the demands of the author when you moderate a debate later this year and does not match the job for the presidency. what could journalists with the maximum number could they they turn in that much. make the whole system work better. is putting together an organization. how do you get it. if you had questions about management and teambuilding. a lot of people are going to go why is he asking about that. we have secreted a predicate for the question first. and then the actual candidate has to answer the question. there are different from actual answers. you can ask the question if you're trying to get the series for leadership in the theory for management. they might answer any question they want. so than the question is which ones can ut you tf that

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 senator kennedy is wrong on three counts. first of all, he's wrong in thinking or even suggesting that mr. khrushchev might have continued the conference if we had expressed reg
