sort of what reagan is to defense, theodore roosevelt is to conservation. the one signature issue of the many great accomplishment, it lends itself to getting outside, getting outdoors, getting into nature. it may be the opposite of saying digital. we are working with a lot of really interesting augmented reality companies. they know that life is going to live with the device at your side or in your pocket. how can you actually use theodore roosevelt and the presidential site to come as a way to let tr be an avatar of the outside experience, a guide to all of the national parks, all of the areas of our state parks, all those other areas outside. we are really thinking of this as a distributed digital site from the start. >> well, it's the metaverse! everyone knows about the metaverse, right? and that is really what we will be able to experience. so realtime polling. if you could do a digital, you didn't have to go there in person but you could do a digital, realtime walk-through of this museum, would you go? would you be open to doing that? so i love that.

job of digitizing 70,000 records from the archive of theodore roosevelt. and we helped facilitate a grant through the rob and melanie walton foundation of $10 million to the theater roosevelt center to continue that tremendous work, working in partnership with them. and for the museum itself, it just affords us an incredible opportunity to think about the digital native experience from the start. our platform is leadership, citizenship, and conservation, and our goal is to bring people, yes, to western north dakota to get out into nature. to experience theodore roosevelt national park, to go to the elkhorn ranch, to the cradle of conservation. maybe we'll get several thousand, or several million, 3 million at mount rushmore, 4 million at yellowstone. there is an audience that we can reach their. but there's seven billion people on the planet. so we think of this as a pilgrimage and a platform. the platform is where we think we can take leadership, citizenship, and conservation as a much wider and greater audience. i will give this example, think of this as

i think you least have heard of theodore roosevelt. so one or two pieces of information that kind of get our minds going on that direction. yeah, delanie like the man the pants may eyeglasses. yes. they look weird to us. it wouldn't look weird to his friends. but yes, okay pants the eyeglasses. yeah, andy. a lot about because conservation like this. yeah of the national park. yeah, we'll talk about that. so someone who really believed in conserving america's wildlife and beauty also hunted a lot as their contradiction there we can we can talk about that. yeah. anything else? yeah, okay. president i'm starting with the industrial revolution and i was starting to keep her off. oh, yeah at the same time. we've been talking about with the carnegies and rockefellers the first decade of the 20th century at the time of tr's presidency. yeah, great. okay, so we know a little bit about him. he is not his fifth cousin franklin roosevelt in the new deal world war two. that'll come in a few weeks. this is the first and the greater maybe roosevelt

today we are looking at the life and career of theodore roosevelt. not the last time we will come back to him in this class. this is specifically geared toward him. this life does fit the theme of the gilded age progressive era very well is. also part of my area of research. taylor is primarily a teaching institution. all faculty are doing research on their own, as time permits. for me, i finished writing a book last year on the religious life of theodore roosevelt. this is a time for me to get to actually talk about some things i specialized in recently. this is some of the background of what we are looking at here. again, start with questions along the way, as appropriate. let me ask you want to start with. this is simply, i want to know any background information you might know about theodore roosevelt. he is not rather furred behaves, he may not have heard of before. i think you have heard of roosevelt. one or two pieces of information to get our minds going in that direction. yeah, go ahead. [inaudible] the eyeglasses. it didn't look weird to hi

welcome every one to today's lecture on theodore roosevelt. a pivotal figure in american presidency. certainly one of the most colorful and dynamic figures to ever occupy that office. to understand roosevelt's contribution as the first great presidential leader of reform, and to appreciate how transformative his actions were, we need first to examine briefly the social, economic and cultural environment in which he lived. born in new york in 1858, roosevelt grew up in an era of rapid, vast growth in america. as the nation expanded dramatically in terms of population, and above all, wealth. the booming economy of that age was aided by the advent of inventions, it was after all the age of edison. and by the development of huge corporations, often growing to monopolistic proportions. all underwritten philosophically by the prevailing popularity of social darwinism. adherence to that philosophy, that is applying darwin's tenets of biological natural selection, that is survival of the fittest, to the world of economics, business, and society in gen

twitter did not exist during theodore roosevelt's age. we would not be building a presidential site that i think i would say tooth quick things. i mean on fundraising since we're a presidential site that is not yet in existence. we have had to think a lot about security relative to the very many mains many many ways that people want to donate now from yeah, i mean venmode paypal to crypto. yeah. i mean if you want to be successful in modern fundraising at a presidential site or maybe in general, i think you have to be sort of prepared like a presidential campaign where you have bundlers who are probably bringing in the bulk of your actual fundraising, but if you don't have popular support, you're not a popular, right? and and so the means of by which people can donate and the ease with which they can and that has to be lockjaw secure. yeah, because that is their data that is their financial information and that is the trust that you are building with them as an organization, you know, and i think in terms of the publicity side of it, you

many people including theodore roosevelt during his presidency would refer to washington lincoln and grant as the three great presidents now, that is not somebody who for in on the centennial of his birth would have been held in disrepute but still greatly respected. i'm glad to see the monument restored. i'm glad to see grants reputation being reviewed. nobody is perfect. and grant certainly would have understood that he wasn't perfect either. but as we look in a different view at the lost cause narrative of the civil war as we look at a different way of the importance of reconstruction as we look at the sadness and the wilson administration where the federal workforce is resegregated we have reason to think about grant in a way that these great historians have presented what i think is a much more appropriate story of grant and so here we are at a at a restored monument at a time when president grant is being viewed in a way that general grant was generally always viewed. i'm glad to see those things happen. i'm certainly glad to be here with you today. and wagner sherrod brown and

[laughter] and so this is the theodore roosevelt. odd thing is, and maybe this isn't so odd, given that sort of personality, but roosevelt, roosevelt could not appreciate jokes told at his expense. he never -- ayman roosevelt himself didn't tell jokes. but most presidents eventually would get to the point where they would learn to laugh when people made jokes about them because that was the easiest way of dealing with them. roosevelt had to train himself to do this. there was one moment when roosevelt -- theodore roosevelt considered his most important accomplishment as president to be getting the panama canal under construction. this was his contribution to world history, he said. well, to get it going, roosevelt essentially had to foment a revolution in panama to break panama free of columbia. and under international law, or even ordinary codes off ethics, it was highly problematic. but roosevelt convened a cabinet session to basically convince everybody in the cabinet that he had done the right thing. and so after he gave this lon

so that precedes any of these cold war dynamics that pre--- that theodore was talking about. that's where the exploitation begins, that's where the pillaging of congolese wealth begins. but then what we see is belgian -- belgian continuing to metal and congolese policies. i travel to congolese regularly. i was just there a month ago. the perspective is that belgium influence, negative influence in the country continues up into the present in terms of very opaque deals with mining companies, meddling in political affairs, the mistreatment of the congolese diaspora living in congolese today. what we are talking about is the story of fraud, unequal relations between belgium and congo from the colonial time through the cold war all the way into the present. >> when we talk about reparations and reckoning with colonial paths beyond drc, we mentioned the german government apologizing for the genocide in namibia. how does belgium compared to other former colonizing powers in its attempts to apologize to make reparations to grapple with its quite violent past? >> i can't give any con

like theodore roosevelt, franklin was born into a wealthy family. like him, he attended harvard. he had been elected to the new york state legislature. he had served as governor of new york, he had even, like tr, served as assistant secretary of the navy in the wilson administration. also like teddy roosevelt, franklin had been nominated for vice president. earlier, in 1920. a lot of people don't know that, i did not know that for many years myself. and any case, tr of course had been elected vice president and 1900, and he became president. franklin roosevelt lost the vice presidential race in 1920, when the democratic ticket led by james m. cox lost to warren harding. in any case, the two men, the two roosevelts had some similarities obviously. they also were quite different. particularly in their manner, their personalities. tr was a fiery, pugnacious sort, always ready for a fight, either physical or political, franklin on the other hand was more genteel, more sophisticated, always eager to solve problems diplomatically and amicably. now, as a young man, fdr seem to have ever

that dangerous heat will grip much of the country all weekend long and we want to talk to our somara theodore. >> it's june after all and we are seeing more record-breaking heat again this weekend 54 million people impacted and it looks like the entire state of texas is under a heat advisory and tells that you have heat watch and hopefully you watch it from inside. dozens of records could be broken and toured las vegas 109 degrees and it looks like they could tie their record in phoenix, el paso, 106, up toward grand junction in the triple digits. the brutal weekend will continue. triple digits and here sunday in areas like del rio and 1007 coming very close to that record we are looking at major heat and gradual cooling will begin. gradual being the main work here. by wednesday we see temperatures leave the 90s and head up to the upper 70s in denver. you look at areas like dallas and while we are 100 degrees on monday gradual cooling with temperatures on wednesday still in the upper 90s we have the heat in place. we have the wind that alone could present issues for fire danger and low humidi

neither ever he elijah theodor, rama la the occupied westbank. ah, or let's have a quick check of a headlong turn out 0 and sri lanka is holding urgent bailout talks with the international monetary fund as it struggles to contain a spiraling economic crisis. the government says it needs a $5000000000.00 lifeline. lack of foreign currency has led to shortages of food and medicine while fuel supplies are due to run out within days. we know fernandez is more from the capital. she lanka doesn't seem to have any other option now. obviously, i, you had economists, you had the opposition or you had specialist for months, almost a year or so, urging the government to go to the i moved to look at a be allowed to look at its debt, but essentially it stuck its head in the ground the government at the time and didn't do it, and right now they have their back up against the wall. things are really dire. shalanda does not have the money, the foreign currency to pay for food medicine fuel. gustavo petro has been elected the columbia is 1st left wing president,

is a british way to pronounce it and she is dennis and didn't denison von johnson endowed chair of theodore roosevelt honors leadership studies at dickinson state university. this is an incredible panel and as stuart has always advised us. we have a responsibility here. to inspire to encourage and to teach and i think with this panel you will get an abundance of material. thank you so much. well, welcome everyone to this panel on first ladies. thank you teresa for that very nice introduction. thank you to stuart and to anita for this amazing summit here in dallas that we've all been waiting. so to participate in and attend and to be in person you and the team at the white house historical association have done amazing work as you always do and many thanks to my colleagues here all of who's work has inspired mine over the years. so i'm very grateful to them. so as teresa said we're going to be looking at first ladies today and thinking about their influence on their president husbands. we're going to be thinking about when they promote change and sometimes we talked about when they have not

edith tht was not something not it roosevelt, for example, provided a space where theodore roosevelt could meet together with the booker t. washington. that was not something that could have happened just anywhere in washington d. c.. and so, that space that first ladies and first families in general have provided for gathering americans across the political divide has been a crucial part of it. i think that's why in historical, historian -- in solidarity with dr. allgor there -- the officials fear it is such an important term rather than -- i know, political science and soft power -- but the unofficial sphere is integral to what the first lady has always done, even down to today. so changes, well there are many changes in and we can talk more about these, but it has to do with the growth of gender expectations, the growth of women's activity in the world as we move through the century of civil war, it makes changes. women's war work. and then as we get toward the gilded age and moving into the progressive era, the sort of work that women do in the world to move out of their domestic

don't see the republicans as having a plan either, but, you know, i look at things going back to, say, theodore roosevelt's bully pulpit. i do not see an ability or a desire, frankly, from anybody. the president's democrat, the democrats are normally -- are nominally in charge, so this falls on them. either try to solve problems in a bipartisan way, really reaching across the aisle, really being aggressive, energetic. or on the other hand, politically democrats are trying to put the republicans on the back foot. i don't see either of those happening. jonathan: we have heard that the president is frustrated with the approach, the messaging, what they have allowed him to do, what they have stopped him from doing. haven't we heard about personnel changes? terry: it's interesting, isn't it? i will tell you my own view on this, which is a little bit of observation, a little bit of understanding, and a little bit of -- a whole lot of experience, frankly. it is very simply that what you have is the president made his deal with the progressive wing of his party at the very beginning of this. it is now

there was a guy called theodore herschel who was a very well-to-do simulated jew and in the 18 '90s he went to paris to cover the alfred dreyfus trial. a jewish officer in the artillery who was accused of treason and was obviously innocent, but he went there to when they degraded him in the courtyard of the palace of palaf justice, they were not screaming death to the threat they were screaming death to the jews. so he looked at this and said my god we have to have our own country. everyone said you're crazy. what are you talking about. the jewish w homeland of course which is known as palestine and the region, in the words of those days. jews have been there for 5,000 years and we had a country up there until 2000 until the birth of christ when roberts came in. we are going to go back there. people said you can't go back. there's nothing there. it's a wilderness between the mediterranean and theso dead se. so he started this conference and jews from all over came to this thing to talk about building the country. my great uncle was actually there and so they started fighting with each

his name is theodore ellis you can see here as a man grabs the woman on the platform, putting both arms around her, throws her onto the tracks happened sunday afternoon in the bronx. police say the woman broke her collarbone and suffered cuts all over her body but that she is expected to be okay. good samaritans pulled her from the tracks police say the suspect told them he was drunk at the time of the incident and, quote, didn't realize his strength when he threw the woman. he's charged with reckless endangerment, misdemeanor assault and second degree assault. >>> cops in michigan arresting a 12-year-old boy after they say he fired a gun inside a gas station and robbed the place police just released the security video happened last week in hartford about 2 1/2 hours west of detroit. local reporting from grand rapids. >> reporter: what started as a regular afternoon at a marathon gas station in hartford. >> 911, what is your emergency >> i was just robbed at 108 east main street. >> you were just robbed? okay >> at gun point? >> yeah. he shot the gun in the store >> reporter: quickly to

abraham lincoln always comes in first in that survey, ahead of george washington, franklin roosevelt, theodore roosevelt, dwight eisenhower, those are the top five in this survey. why do you think he is always number one? >> because he not only saved the union at its most precarious moment, he also articulated the vision of the american dream in his writing. a nd aside from that, represented the american dream in his own rise from the impoverished, remote circumstances all of the way to the white house. so, he lived his dream, he articulated the ream and preserved it for everyone else. this country could've easily been balkanized, to use a later term. we might have easily been five countries. it might have not just been north and south, but north, south, east, west, south west, and northwest. and how would we have fared against the nazis if we were not a united and strong country, the one lincoln left to us? >> grand rapids, michigan. this is brian, good morning. >> thanks a lot, i'm actually in minnesota, that's okay. mr.? holzer, thank you for doing this show. i did not know that the lincoln

but as tennessee williams said suddenly there's god so quickly and there was a guy called theodore hersel. who was a assimilated -- a very well to do austrian assimilated, -- and in the 1890s. he went to paris to cover the alfred dreyfus trial for the a vienna newspaper. dreyfuss was a jewish officer in the artillery and france who's accused of treason of selling secrets to germans. he was obviously innocent, but they railroaded him and so dreyfus went there to cover the and when they degraded him in the in the part there the the the courtyard of the palace of justice. they weren't screaming death to the trailer. they were death to the --. so herzl looked at this and he grown up at assimilated austrian jude hardly knew he was jewish and he said oh my god. we have to have our own country. 1897 right everyone said what you're crazy. what are you talking about? what country they said. well, you know the jewish homelanders, of course the levant which is known as palestine palestine just a region and in the words of those days. that's -- have had have been there for 5,000 years that we had a c
