he comes back and it goes down and devastated taft again. >> they both cried, taft probably more. >> rose: and you. >> that person, you know. >> rose: that woman who keeps -- so really amazing story. >> it really is. i mean, what i think history is about is stories, you tell a series of connected stories, so here i am telling a series of stories about taft and teddy and about tar bell, there is another person, a great journalist, she makes another decision as a woman, a young woman at 14, she praise that she will never get mar recognize. >> rose: praise? >> because she feels the frustration of her mother who had talent and wanted to do nothing and never gets married but becomes the most famous journalist of her era, think we can have those things together that no one of these three women thought they could have. it is good. >> rose: it is good. times have changed. i was thinking about your son who went to iraq and all of that, the wonderful sons you have and so proud of. >> we were here together, you and me -- >> rose: i remember. so then there is the campaign, was it mean? >> it was

taft, the secretary of war? >> three times. taft's dream. >> three time s? >> it was taft's dream from the time he was a young boy to sit on a court. his father was a judge, he was a judge. he was happy as a judge. he probably never should have gotten into politicings. he had a judicial temperament. he liked the deliberation, he liked the quietness. you didn't have to explain decisions in the court, right? so teddy offers it to him twice in the philippines. but me can't leave the job. he's governor general of the philippines. they love him over there. they did a good job. he's almost tempted to do it. but he says my duty is to stay here. then he comes back to secretary of war. he'll still have control of the philippines as secretary of war. he becomes the most important person in teddy's cabinet. in 1906, he's offering it to him again. because he knows the court is going to be making big decisions about the legislation being passed by the roosevelt administration. taft really attempted that time. he's being talked about as a potential presidential candidate.

taft had a song ♪ get on a raft with taft." taft weigh 350 pounds. it would be a dubious proposition. >> jon: even if taft was not heavy, i feel like "get on a raft with taft." >> it rhymes, right? >> jon: it does rhyme. >> it does rhyme. anyway, he runs his campaign. he's so happy when he wins, thinks he'll carry out my legacy, and then he goes to africa comes back, and feels taft is not as progressive as he wanted and he also wanted to get back in the game. he loved politics and runs against him in 1912 and it gets really ugly. it makes me sad. he calls taft a fat head and says he has the brain of a guinea pig and taft said he's a dictator and their friendship, needless to say, breaks apart. >> jon: and they changed it to ♪ don't run for taft heel give you the shaft." teddy roosevelt really went after him. >> >> jon: what i found so fascinating in our current vernacular of republicans and democrats and things like this, and the hope and inspiration of what free people can do when they get together and form governments, and form-- is that they-- t

taft finally wins and he is radiant about taft's victory. his progressive friends tell him, he hasn't been as progressive as you thought he would be. he has become part of the old guard. it is really true, he just failed to deal with some of the issues. he compromised them too much and the progressives got angry with him. teddy decides eventually to run against him in 1912. it is heartbreaking for taft. this is a friendship that is broken. teddy feels betrayed by him. it is really ugly. teddy called him a guinea pig, he calls him a puzzle-wit, a fathead. the die is cast when teddy forms a third-party. together, they had 50% of the vote. woodrow wilson wins. it leaves a terrible strain on this friendship. for several years afterward, they tried to bring teddy and staff together. it is almost like an armed neutrality. nothing works until blackstone hotel in 1918. teddy roosevelt is going to die not long thereafter. taft comes to the blackstone hotel in chicago. he is going up in the elevator and the elevator operator says, roosevelt is in the

and taft on the cover. when you announced what you were going to do, it was going to be a book on theodore roosevelt. at what point did william howard taft make the cover? >> i think what happened is, it was the same with lincoln. as i started reading the books about teddy was about, there been so many wonderful books about him. i didn't feel i could contribute enough to just write another biography. there have been some great studies about the progressive era. it is my favorite airline history. i favorite historians have written about it. i needed a team of rivals. when i started thinking about half, i thought it would give me an insight into teddy, just as lincoln's cabinet gave me an insight into lincoln. he just got bigger and bigger in the story. --it is hard to understand i'm going to read a quote from your book. he triesearlier that taft. why is there so much respect for him? he was going against his own party, his own choice for president. that is a pretty nasty thing for someone to do. >> i think w

taft was a procat nateor. there was a gentlemenliness until 1912. >> you have a future in this history thing. do you think that what happened in 1912 -- to bring people up to speed -- these people went at each other, many people saying he won the election because of it. having said that, the tea-partiers and rhinos face the same risk battling for republican party. >> it should be a cautionary table. you have republicans in the majority for years but once these two -- not these two but progressive wing and the establish -- and they called every other names. out one to have dissings but they started calling eve other names, taft said roosevelt was a danger to the republic. roosevelt said taft had a guinea pig brain. one side said they didn't like the other side, and they split the vote and woodrow wilson wins. they had 51% of the vote but the fact it became open and became ugly. there were guns at the republican convention -- >> we always think of the 1968 democratic convention. >> even when the taft delegates w

he became taft's chief campaign adviser. taft won and started siding with the conservative wing of the party. he opposed the regulation on business at every turn. roosevelt decided to run again for president and launched an attack on taft. two candidates delivered speeches at the convention and they started yelling at the speeches. roosevelt performed with his own party and they caused both men to lose to woodrow wilson. what does this have to do with today's fights in the media. we will get interesting insights. the bully pulpit and the golden age of journalism. if you say so? i am joined by author and historian goodwin. i tell you, i am a huge consumer of teddy roosevelt biographies. i can't wait to read this one. the lesson learned that we are supposed to take away from this fight, are we characterizing it correctly and are there similarities? >> the interesting thing is that teddy and taft start out much more alike not only when they are friends, but even in the presidential years they believed in the power of government

. >> i got into taft, knowing he had been friends, knowing he had broken apart in 1912. and when i figured out what was the difference in their leadership, it was teddy's leadership, taft's leadership. so i started reading about the publications in the press, these guys stood at the center of it. they played a center role. even the best historians will say these guys are the vanguard of the history. he came into my life. >> roosevelt, taft, and the muckrakers, at 8:00, on c-span's question and answer. all weekend long, american history tv is featuring ann arbor, michigan, c-span's local content vehicles recently visited many sites exploring the rich history, learn more about ann arbor all weekend long on american history tv. it was extremely important the way they looked at slavery and how slavery affected them. in 1836, men, they were all men from across the state of michigan, which was only sparsely settled at that time, held an anti-slavery meeting in ann arbor, where we are. and one of their goals was to sway people to have an anti-slavery stance. and in order to do

taft and the friendship. i began to realize the reason teddy was successful and taft fell short teddy understood how to use the bully pulpit, have remarkable relationships with the press and he did not. that's where muck rakers came in, vanguard of progressive reform at the time. >> so many things fascinate me. of course velt and taft got to know each other during the harrison, roosevelt becomes president after the assassination and pulls taft back in. he wants him to be almost a deputy president. >> no question. when teddy would go off on train trips which he did months at a time or bear hunting, he left taft as president not secretary of state, not vice president, how are things going to be when you're gone. don't worry, taft sitting on the lid. huge cartoons of rather big taft sitting on the lid. they were really the closest of advisers. he was the most important person in the cabinet. >> and tell us about the political split. >> so then what happened is teddy actually hand picks taft to be his successor,
