well, theodore roosevelt was far from dull. people called roosevelt a lot of names, his enemies attacked him, but nobody ever accused him of being dull. that, he was not. in fact, it was his robust lifestyle that made it surprising he became president because to get there, he took the office of vice president. he was not all that excited about it. the reason he got the nomination to run with mckinley in 1900, as his vice president a running mate, is mckinley's previous vice president had died in office. the recent roosevelt was offered that job was because there were people in the republican party who wanted to get him out of new york, he was making a nuisance of himself in the eyes of conservatives. they said, how can we get rid of him in new york? well, someone had a great idea of kicking him upstairs, so to speak. and after all, the vice presidency was harmless. most people in the republican party were not bothered by that. one who was bothered was mark hanna. a firm, strong conservative, supporter of the business community.

it is portraying what we would call theodore roosevelt's kitchen cabinet. it is not the actual members of the cabinet. it is people who were friends of his and close to him, political allies and people he relied on for advice. you can see that jacob riis is in the picture. he is in that circle. he is the small figure in colonial uniform, second from the left, holding a hanky to his face. you can see that booker t. washington is also in the doorway. it is sort of a metaphor of the civil rights status at that time and him being welcomed at the white house by theodore roosevelt. roosevelt himself is the only person in the picture not crying. how did riis meet theodore roosevelt? that is the story of his activism in new york city. we have we have here in our case on allies the basic story of the bromance between theodore roosevelt and jacob riis. they first met in 1894. the new administration was elected in new york city that was a reform administration under mayor william strong. it is often described as "the good government" movement. in that one administrati

well, the last question, because we want to leave time for theodore roosevelt himself to speak and lp asks dark good question. a parlor game question. what experience influenced tr's leadership more, his time in new york and his experience in new york or his time out west, in the bad lands and -- two very different types of experiences. i have my answer. what do you think? >> i want to hear your answer. i'll give mine first. i'm going to say for the purposes and almost the confines of my book that the new york city experience was probably more relevant because he was both forced in part by his father's kind of man mike cal benevolence, and this own inclinations to see in new york that people like morgan could avoid, and then i think as police commissioner, even in his kind of short and failed run as mayor, he was aquinted with a new york -- acquainted with a new york that many wealthy privileged new yorkers were not, and at the same time, equally familiar with wall street. right? and friendly with some of the lawyers and the kind of people circling wall street. if not morgan himself.

this is theodore roosevelt. if i ask my students, what do you remember about theodore roosevelt, they all say something about big stick. the other thing that we should remember about theodore roosevelt, is of course he had been the weakly scrawny boy whose father did not know if he was going to survive asthma, and he told his son eventually you must remake your body or it will kill you. and he became effectively a body builder. i think he eventually had a chest of like 52 inches. what's really interesting is that, of course, he did that, the great crews of the great white fleet. the symbolic declaration that the united states was going to become a world power. that's under this guy. because both of these guys, wilson and roosevelt, are trying to figure out what probably is leaders of china are trying to figure out, given that we are now the most important economic power on the planet, should our foreign policy change to match our new economic heft, and they're going to be debating how to deal with it. because of

confidence that america afforded to its presidential giants, washington, jefferson, jackson, theodore roosevelt and woodrow wilson. we have not and i pray to god we may never reach the time in america where there is any such thing as the indispensable man. we are engaged in a sacred cause, the preservation of american democracy. i cannot lead this cause alone. i need the help of every american, republican, democrat, independent, protestant, catholic, jew, people of every race, creed and color. if we all join together, each doing his utmost, dedicating ourselves to the principles of american liberty, a revitalized and reunited america will triumph over any enemy within or without. i thank you, and god bless you. >> he knows us because he has worked with us, teaching, driving a bakery wagon, and as a field hand harvesting wheat and a labor in california, and in steel mills, sugar fields. we need him, and we the people must and will elect wendell wilkie president, preserving our great tradition against a third term, paving the way for jobs for 10 million unemployed, protecting our america from rad

and i fought for the reforms of the theodore roosevelt and wood row wul silson before another roosevelt adopted and distorted the word liberal. i believe that the farces of free enterprise must be regulated. i'm opposed to business monopolies. i believe in the right of collective bargaining by labor without any interference and full protection of that obvious right. i believe in minimum standards for wages and maximum standards for ours and i believe such standards should constantly um prove. i'm in favor of the regulation of interstate utilities, of banking, of the security markets. i believe in federal pensions. and adequate old age benefits and unmoiment allowances. i believe that the federal government owes a duty to adjust the position of the farmer with that of the manufacturer f this cannot be done by this, some other method must be found without too much regiment of the farmers affairs. i believe in the encouragement of cooperative buying and selling. and in the full extension of rural elections and i believe that the federal government owes a very strong obligation to preserve

and we're going to start with theodore roosevelt. theodore roosevelt was the first president of the 20th century, and he came to the white house at a time when the presidency was pretty weak. ,t was considered really to be certainly not what it is today. but roosevelt began to expand that notion of it. and roosevelt looks at the white house as an invitation to opportunity. and he talks about something he calls the square deal, and something that he calls the new nationalism. the square deal was the idea that people in america were not being treated fairly by the very wealthy in the country, by the trusts, which were groups of people that came together in the industry to have certain sway over government. and this is going to be a way to deal with that and to make things a little more equitable, if you will. so, the square deal was going to try to establish a balance between what had been the monied interest and give more back to the people. the same with the new nationalism. the new nationalism was supposed to try to protect human we

presidential powers, due to the vision and leadership skills of nine men who served in the office -- theodore roosevelt, woodrow wilson, franklin delano roosevelt, harry s. truman, dwight d. eisenhower, john f. kennedy, lyndon baines johnson, richard nixon, and ronald reagan." now, professor dallek's analysis only looks at the 20th century. i'm going to throw in some of the presidents from the 21st century as we go along. so, if we can go to the first slide, professor dallek talks about these six points. the first one, he says, is vision. the second is charisma -- i'm going to go back and talk about this. the second is charisma. the third is pragmatism. we'll move onto the next flight. the fourth is consensusbuilding, followed by trust and credibility, luck, and then i'm going to throw in, which is on the last slide, something i'm going to call communication competence. and we're going to leave the slides behind right now. so, let's start with vision. so, vision, according to dallek, is that presidents come up with an idea, and they help us to develop something that's going to pull us all together. it'

still theodore roosevelt. the youngest person ever elected to as president was jack kennedy.so i thought you might want to keep that distinction in mind. when he became president, mark hanna was furious and said i told william mckinley it was a mistake to nominate that while man. i asked if he realized what would happen if he should die and now that cowboy is president of the united states. america waited expectantly to see what tr would do. one historian wrote, americans in the early 1900s not easily overlook and agitator who wrought one of the nation's most aristocratic names who could charm sunday school class or later regiment and who happened to be president of the united states. americans probably expected excitement and they were not to be disappointed. mark twain said teddy roosevelt was the tom sawyer of the political world, always hunting for a chance to show off. one of his cabinet members put it this way, he sent a message to roosevelt, on russell's 46th birthday. roosevelt. you have made a good start in life and your friends have great hopes for you to grow up. h

want to see him theodore roosevelt. but disability wig t.r. and his love of the navy and wrote a volume on the war of 1812. ross perot's devotion to the navy as a naval academy graduate. you cannot go to the naval academy and not in my or theodore roosevelt in the navy. also, as i mentioned, the cowboys signed fdr. but when you are getting with the bull moose party platform versus ross perot in 92, there is many differences and many decades apart. it's the boy scouts part. you mentioned ross perot's eagle scout. theodore roosevelt is the original champing at the boy scout. it's harkening back to that kind of view of america. but in politics, great differences and i would not compare him in the way you are suggesting to winston churchill or t.r. or anybody. it was just sort of the people he admired and collects books on and likes to read about. they have inspired him in the same way henry ford and thomas edison were people that inspired him in business. >> and in taylor's ville, illinois. ed, are you there? >> yes. i vot

an characteristic in cleveland, he too had a theodore roosevelt connection.bram was appointed in 1909 to the national council of fine arts. president theodore roosevelt's ill starred, precurv ser of the national commission of fine arts. they met only once to review the sitting of the lincoln memorial before the order was rescinded by the new president william howard taft. abram garfield indicated that all of the participants on the commission recognized the fragility of the council and the likelihood that taft would abolish it at the behest of congressional opposition. but abram came back and served on the successor body, the commission of fine arts from 1925 to 1930 including a stint as vice chair leaving federal government service 50 years after his father's death. garfield's political legacy would seem to be quite thin since he served effectively as president for only four months. now, he had been a highly respected military man and legislator, respected enough to win a presidential nomination he never sought and the presidential election too. through the

perot, his two evergreen heroes in politics is theodore roosevelt and winston churchill. he takes a lot from them. we forget now that both of them were considered, you know, a cowboy when roosevelt became president, mckinley was assassinated and the republican party of mark hanna and bill mckinley did not trust the are. he was considered and iconoclast, and individualists. particularly, it's that hold cowboy notion. ross perot grew up in texarkana. his father was a cotton broker, but he was also broke horses, went to cattle auctions, considered himself a bit of a texas cowboy. so everything about the adore roosevelt impressed ross perot. i think it gave him courage. if t.r. you can do a bull moose party, why can't i run in 92? churchill, it goes without saying, but anyone who loves freedom and democracy ingrid encouraged winston churchill. those are the two people that i think he admires most. in his office, there's a portrait of george washington. he talks about the founding fathers. but you know which founding father ross perot is like? i thought about this today. patric

is known -- many sided americans see in theodore roosevelt what they want to see in theodore roosevelt. but the ability with t.r. and his love of the navy and ross perot's devotion to the navy's entire life as a graduate, you can't go to the naval academy and not admire theodore roosevelt in the navy and as i mentioned, the cowboy side of t.r. but when you're getting with the bull moose party platform versus ross perot '92, there's many, many differences and many decades apart. but it's the loyal -- the boy scout part. you mentioned ross perot. theodore roosevelt is the original champion of the boy scouts. it's harkening to that kind of view of america. but in politics, great differences and i wouldn't compare them in the way you're suggesting to t.r. or winston churchill or anybody. it's -- the people he admires and collects books on and likes to read about and have inspired him in the same way henry ford and thomas ed son were people who inspired him in business. ed, are you there? >> caller: i voted for perot and '92 and i believe that's how clinton got elected and bush didn't seem

the first has to do with the fact that beginning with theodore roosevelt and the program he called and campaigned on, a square deal. roosevelt's square deal could be seen as the first instance of a president laying out a coherent, nationally-scaled package of policy initiatives, for which he, the president, would stand as champion. there is really nothing comparable to that in the 19th century. various presidents expressed various aspirations and so on as they went along, but the square deal was thought to be a multipronged, carefully thought out program for a coherent policy package to take the country forward. we see successors to that initiative, of presidents laying out and campaigning on coherent policy proposals, right down to our own day. woodrow wilson campaigned on something called the new freedom. herbert hoover campaigned on something called new era. we have a new deal, franklin roosevelt. fair deal, harry truman. and on and on right down to today, what some have called the ordeal. the point is, simply, without joking around about it, it is only in the early 20th century the

theodore roosevelt uses the bully pulpit. he creates these relationships with journalists and uses public opinion to launch and advocate for very specific policies. franklin roosevelt takes this a step further. he capitalizes on radio and uses that to create an intimate connection with the american public. and i am going to play you a quick clip, just to give you a sense of what this sounded like. again, thinking about if you were a listener. you were tuning into your radio during the 1930s to listen to your president. this would have been what you heard. >> ladies and gentlemen, the president of the united states. >> my friends, i want to talk for a few minutes with the people of the united states about banking. to start with the comparatively few who understand the mechanics of banking, but more particularly with the overwhelming majority of you who use banks for the making of deposits and withdrawing of checks. >> what did he do, just in that very simple opening? >> he definitely personalizes the chat. he uses i, you, we, a

that term, lunatic fringe, was popularized by theodore roosevelt. said, among the wise and high-minded people who are self-respecting and strive earnestly for peace, there are the fanatics only to be found in a movement discrediting it, the men who form the lunatic fringe. he continued, as i said, there is a lunatic fringe to every reform movement. we have seen that borne out in historyulent period of we now occupy and how we deal with it determine whether we can calm the political waters and restore peace entrance quality -- tranquility to our cities. it is important to note qanon, the lunatic fringe on the right, no more speak for the right than the lunatic fringe on the left left.for the both are poisonous to our democratic institutions and both are destructive of what lincoln called the mystic chords of memory that should unite us as a free people. allow me to voice my hope we will see similar condemnations of the lunatic fringe that is been given free reign in recent months to loot, vandalize and burned so many of our towns and cities across am

then, under theodore roosevelt's department of commerce and label. then a secretary of the interior, until the end of roosevelts term in 1909. james decided to leave at the end of roosevelt's turn, rather than serve under taft. he rejoined his brother, third brother, abraham in cleveland. youngest surviving, son abraham, help direct washington development directly. but quietly behind the scenes. an architect in cleveland, he too, had a theater roosevelts connection. he was appointed in 1909 to the national council of fine arts, president theodore roosevelt ill star precursor to the national commission of fine arts. the council, created through presidential executive order, at the urging of the american institute architects met only once. to review the siding of the lincoln memorial, before the order was rescinded by the new president, taft. garfield, writing to his mother, indicated that all participants on the commission recognized the fragility of the council and the likelihood that taft would abolish it. at the behest of congressional opposition.

theodore roosevelt was a young, sickly elite old running boy. solution to all of this was the vigorous life. particularly times spent in the great outdoors. in his very famous attempts to invigorate himself and his claw op, theodore roosevelt would hike mountains, hunt big game, engage and cattle ranches, lead military units and encourage his fellow white men to procreate as much as possible. these were some of his solutions, this vigorous life. while these concerns from neurotic elites were confused, overwhelmed intellectuals. they may seem trivial compared to the labor strife and 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 creating the park as an outlet to prevent discontent among the lower sorts. we see them and join central park here. the point, in other words, is that during the gilded age there was disenchantment coming from all directions. from those who needed a break. from the
