frequent eleanor roosevelt. fdr, in many ways was carrying out theodore roosevelt policies. fdr's new deal, i think, is in large part, a fulfillment of theodore roosevelt square deal. fdr has the same problems that theodore roosevelt with judges. they are invalidating laws that people support and they are often doing it in the name of the due process clause. fdr decides to do something about it. he has four justices who support him already. he is visiting these cases by a very narrow 5-4 vote. and he says that he is going to appoint more justices. this is the infamous court packing plan. he does not say that the reason he is doing this to is to give himself a majority supporters, but, that is obviously why. court packing fails, of course. fdr loses that battle. but, he wins the war. the supreme court backs down. in 1935, it gives up on the idea that it can define what the public interest is an strike down laws that depart from it. so, and other people to get to decide, what is reasonable and what is oppressive. how does that work out? well, it works out ok in terms of the ma

teddy roosevelt to taft. mr. brinkley: in that case, theodore roosevelt famously, part of his their chase hunting rules, that famous scene in mississippi delta plan they caught a bear, and it had a rope around it, roosevelt said i will not shoot it, that is not hunting. there was a cartoon by a woman in brooklyn, saying roosevelt draws the line in mississippi not to kill that bear, and she writes, i would love to do a toy on that. and roosevelt said, you are welcome to, but nobody is going to care. but of course, the teddy bear becomes the most ubiquitous toy in history. part of the magic with teddy bears, they were dinners with a teddy bear as the centerpiece. william howard taft decided he needed to do something, and he created the billy possum toy. [laughter] none of you have one or have ever seen one, we have never seen anyone cuddle one. it was a hideous looking stuffed toy. the point being, it was hard to follow and act like theodore roosevelt, who had so much magic, and so many reporters and cartoonist

so, let me start with rita roosevelt. -- let me start with theodore roosevelt. what was his vision of the constitution? to put in one word, it was democratic. and i don't mean that in the sense of the democratic party, of course, i mean in terms of the question, was supposed to the ultimate authority in our system of government? his answer was, the people. now, and a sense, that is probably not controversial. you might think, of course, we the people should be in control. we the people, that is the first three words of the constitution. we the people, are the ones who ordain and establish the constitution. but, that you actually runs up against a couple of other features of our system of government. basically, everyone agrees that people are the ultimate authority in some sense, but something that maybe they have delegated some of that authority. for instance, they have delegated the power to make laws, to legislatures. and they have delegated the power to interpret laws, and to interpret the constitution, to courts. or have they? this is the area of dispute bet

so roosevelt is elected. the new deal -- he is reelected -- and again -- and america enters a period that is sort of understand -- understood as a high point of model -- modern of realism. where the liberals are in a sentence and the conservatives are in retreat. one of the things i want to convey is that we are neither a conservative nation or a liberal nation nor is it right to say that there are areas of conservatism and eras of liberalism. yes there are moments where one , side or the other is more dominant but let's think of it , as a shifting center with a range of political possibility shifts to the left and the right , depending on the moment and depending on who is articulating the message because even in the 1940's and 1950's and 1960's, the high point of america liberalism, there is a conservative coalition that is building in strength, that is both grassroots and top-down. it includes herbert hoover, who 1932,he is defeated in retreats back to palo alto, california to stanford, and from , there, b

roosevelt, and george washington. he used to be lincoln, washington, fdr, but more recently it has been lincoln, fdr washington. , nobody appears, in the judgment of historians, likely to move into that top category. and then there is a group just below that of near a great. theodore roosevelt is always pretty much at the top of that group, or close to it. mr. brinkley: theodore roosevelt won a landslide election in 1908 -- i mean, in 1904, but by he decided not to run. 1908, he left in march with of and reallyto africa turning over the republican party to william howard taft. who was taft, and what were the virtues of his presidency? mr. leuchtenburg: he was a commissioner in the philippines, he had been a member of theodore roosevelt cabinet. when i was a graduate student, we used to say, always trying to do our elders one better, that taft was actually more of progressive than teddy roosevelt. more antitrust suits under taft proportionately then there were under teddy roosevelt. and elders were shaking, saying you

roosevelt after all there's no radical. he never wanted the government to takeover the banks take over the banks or the factories or the farms. they wanted to raise their wages without the government intervening to redistribute wealth and for the most part the new deal maintained a social order that largely benefited white man. throughout the struggle's roosevelt and his advisers dismissed the radical alternatives. still, the attempts to distance themselves from the more radical alternatives were not comforted enough for the california growers and their allies and the new deals were attacked for being radical. to define the left of the enemy they claimed that it was the left and this was a technique that of course they would use down through the decades that they would portray. to bring this back they said that it's like america only more so and i think they were similar to struggles elsewhere but more so they were ahead of their time it was the migrants and the immigrants from women and men foreshadowed in the coming trans

franklin delano roosevelt. elected to a second presidential term. >> how much did you wage centre. >> none. >> 675. >> that brings you to 95 points. all right. >> kate and john. richard nixon, ronald reagan. >> we're going to go reagan. >> go for reagan. >> in 1980, reagan got into an argument with a moderator of a primary debate over who should be able to participate in the debate itself was paid for by reagan. here's a moment from the bickering. >> would the sound man please turn mr. reagan's mic off? >> oh no. >> is this on? >> mr. green, you asked me if you would -- i am paying for this microphone, mr. green. >> that dramatic moment occurred three days before what state primary, also the location of the debate itself? >> they're just being cruel. they're just -- look at the grin on john berman's face. the smirk. so pleased and satisfied. >> i'm -- >> we're going to say new hampshire. >> and that of course is correct. >> how much did you wager? >> 421 points and a smiley face that brings you up to a revoltin

we could've had no president theodore roosevelt, we might not of had franklin roosevelt if he had been killed. we might not have had john f. kennedy either theory but these are certainly what could have been. and lyndon johnson would've taken over that happen. but of course the story of the kennedy assassination has been debated and will forever be debated and people always ask me what is your thought? there's no way to know for thought for sure. i don't accept the conspiracy theory. they're both written books ripping apart every conspiracy theory imaginable. you could argue that he didn't do a good job, you can say whatever you want, i'm not an expert on it but i tend to believe the report although i don't understand part of it. that's hard to understand. was anyone else involved it seems clear although some people say not but of course the tragedy of him being killed by jack's will never really know the truth absolutely area here's the thing before the shots are fired. this is in my book also. just seconds before. mrs. connolly is turning around saying mr. president you cannot say pe

roosevelt, of course, democrat. teddy roosevelt, republican, and harry truman, democrat. now, if i could change that, i would make fdr second and washington third and truman four and g.r. fifthth. no debate about lincoln. even hillary clinton yesterday request said the best president she believes was lincoln even though she's not of her party. everybody accepts lincoln pretty much. except some confederate sympathizers, i guess there's some who hate him, but that's -- now, the other question of any major threats, yes, the most recent was the one of omar gonzalez who got over the fence and got into the white house in september 2014. we had two plots against obama during the campaign of 2008 by young men in tennessee and in denver, colorado. the one in denver would have been to shoot him as he accepted the nomination be, almost like a manchurian candidate kind of a scene as he's speaking. there's been tons of threats. and -- [inaudible] threats in the thousands other the years and it is, in a way, miraculous that he has been able to avoid any direct threat. there are always

roosevelt, of course, democrat, teddy roosevelt republican and harry truman democrat. now, if i could change that i would make fdr second in washington third and truman fourth and cr fifth, still top five but i would switch tr and truman and fdr and washington. no debate about lincoln. even hillary clinton yesterday said the best president was lincoln even though he's not of her party. everybody accepts lincoln pretty much unless you were a southern confederate. the other question are there any major threats, yes, the most recent of omar gonzÁlez u got into the white house in september 2014, we had two plots against obama, camp own of 2008 by young men in tennessee and in colorado t one in denver would have been shooter as he accepted nomination. as he's speaking. there's been tons of threats. the threats are in thousands over the years and it is in a way miraculous and his wife had had threats, not as many, of course, he's had lots of threats more than anybody ever than lincoln. i thank you for that question. any other questions? or comments anybody wants to make? or

teddy roosevelt -- i don't knoll how teddy roosevelt did what he did in 24 hours a day, but teddy roosevelt ran through the white house grabbing the kids, playing what they called scary bear, pillow fights were to the roosevelts saga more hill what touch football was to the kennedys of hyannisport, and roosevelt let his kids -- quentin came in opposite with snakes rapid around his arm -- wrapped around his arms and neck. theodore at the time was talking to the secretary of war, and looked at him and said, why don't you go next door, there are couple of congressmen waiting to see me, and just go chat with them. so that's what happened. theodore sent him to scare the hell out of these congressmen. now, i'm not saying that there weren't parents, fathers who loved their children as much, but no one gave the time that theodore did, either in person, the direct playfulness, or when the children went away to school. >> host: the book "1920", why the flat iron building on the cover? sunny don't know. the artist did that. and i thought it looked good. now, wasn't in 1920 when the flatiron building c

harold: roosevelt entered with and sustained a big majority. until subsequent congresses started chipping away at the new deal. he was riding high on his ability to reinvent american policy every few weeks, if it did not work. it was an adventure and it was exciting. i think that lincoln had a harder time and i think obama knows that. i think, of all the presidents that i have gone to talk to, no one has had a stronger and closer identification with lincoln than obama. first, for the obvious reason. obama announces candidacy on the steps of the state capital where lincoln said, a house divided against itself cannot stand. he invoked lincoln in the candidacy and this is a continuation of the unfinished work of lincoln. he repeated the inaugural journey from baltimore to washington. lincoln did parts of it in secret. he visited the memorial before he took the oath of office. do i have time for another obama anecdote? so, i find this story to be the culmination of the association. the lincoln message of equal opportunity was sincere. the president

from the roosevelt room... but it hasn't begun just yet... when it does we'll bring it to you when he begins. for now we want to get a check of your forecast... weather now of the detention center at guantanamo bay, in a last-ditch effort to make good on a 2008 campaign promise. obama will speak at 10:30 a.m. tuesday morning from the roosevelt room, the white house announced, saying the topic would be guantanamo bay but giving no further details. obama's address comes as the plan to shut down the controversial facility and transfer the remaining detainees to a holding center in the united states will be delivered to congress. the administration will attempt to convince lawmakers to allow the pentagon to move nearly 60 detainees to the u.s. to a facility that will cost up to $475 million to construct, but could save as much as $180 million a costs, the administration says. the plan provides few specifics and risks, and is likely to face tough opposition from members of congress who have repeatedly passed legislation banning any effort to move

it was not just the federal government roosevelt believed the president in particular, roosevelt had had his own theory of the presidency basically saying instead of confining his role to what the constitution specifically said he could do, he felt he was free to do anything except what the constitution explicitly said he could not do. he enormously expanded the field of presidential power. he knew he couldn't do that, he was in a dictator, he felt like he had to have public opinion on his side. the public was growing, the number of educated literate americans were participated in politics was growing. so public opinion was key to his political success. to do this, to have what i call his public presidency, he had to galvanize the public through the media. he toured wisely, he took trips around the country is no president before him had done. he went out he went out west, he came down south, this is not just in a ceremonial role as many presidents had done before him. but he did it to advance a particular agenda, whether it was regulation of the railroad, or of the meatpacking indust

i think teddy roosevelt was a strong president. his speak softly and carry a big stick theory is the most prominent legacy he gave us, but roosevelt was strong in the international sense primarily. that is he brought the united states into the forefront as a world power. it is also interesting to note although he was a blustery man that he led the country into a poerd of relative peace and stability. lincoln was a strong leader. by personality and determination, he preserved the union when all the odds must have been against it. that was a strong leadership role. eisenhower in my judgment was an extraordinary strong personality and a strong president. sometimes it takes strength just to maintain a tranquil administration. understand that things are going pretty well and don't have to change them for the sake of change. so in each case there's a different quality of leadership. the one common denominator is that the presidency a strong institution. the constitution adopted in philadelphia required the president to be a strong presid

eleanor roosevelt -- eleanor roosevelt would sometimes just invite total strangers she met on the street to stay overnight in the white house and often there weren't enough bedrooms to go around. so i'm sure hilarity ensued. that was what -- that was what she did. she was a real people person. shy would just service personnel and so forth, sometimes people she met. she just liked to talk to people and that's what she did. so she's quite an interesting character. hi. >> was sally hemmings on staff at the white house in the jefferson administration? >> talking about jefferson's -- his mistress, slave, with whom -- it's believed he fathered, what, i about six children with her. i don't think she was. i'm not sure. i think she probably stayed down at monticello. that's a good question. don't know. it's a fiction question. >> one of my favorite stories that you tell in the book relates to wilson. the last virginia president, woodrow wilson, who -- >> that's right. >> who got married, second wife, and they had an interesting ip a relationship. tell that story. >> woodrow wilson's first wife di

this is not to say, in 1901 when teddy roosevelt became president. on the contrary argument the book that spin is as old as politics. and argue about the place of rhetoric in athenian democracy. in all year rounds leaders have superintended their images and try to make sure they were held in esteem by the public when they derive their power. for the american presidency there was the transformation at the start of the last century. there is the reason we don't know too much about most nineteenth century presidents, we don't even know their names, they didn't do that much. congress according to the constitution was the first branch of government listed in article 1, the presidency was article 2. it surprises my students who are used to thinking of the president as the big enchilada. what changed? how did the president become the one who drives the agenda to put his program across rather than implementing what congress thought best. changes in large part because of the industrial revolution and the great social and economic problems that are introduced

suppose, for instance, that our three returning presidents, roosevelt, dwight d. eisenhower, and john kennedy, found themselves in the middle of a campaign for a party's nomination. the object today would be the same as it had been in their days, to accumulate a majority of delegates at the party's nominating convention. there, however, the similarities would end. the strategy for winning the nomination today bears little resemblance to the strategy of days gone by because the system is so different. for instance, imagine roosevelt's confusion to hear people talking about momentum in february of the year of the convention. in roosevelt's day, momentum was a term described -- that described behavior at the convention itself. imagine eisenhower's reaction to the news that senator howard baker had given up his job as majority leader of the senate as well as his senate seat, four years before the presidential election. in order to campaign full-time. and imagine how all of these men would react to a democratic primary race in which two senior democratic senators, joe
