And Nelson "Nails" McKenna has been his enforcer since he was a teenager, though his heart's not really in the dirty work.

Theodore Roosevelt. by Jones, Rufus,actor.; The History® Channel (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Rufus JonesOriginally produced by The History® Channel in 2022.Based upon Doris Kearns Goodwin's New York Times bestseller, "Leadership: In Turbulent Times" this two-part series provides a rich, panoramic portrait of the first modern President of the United States -- Theodore Roosevelt, a champion of social justice, a passionate conservationist and the self-proclaimed “bull moose” who once delivered an 84-minute speech bleeding from the chest after being shot in a failed assassination attempt. THEODORE ROOSEVELT explores the breadth and depth of one of history’s most interesting men—a cowboy, soldier, statesman, conservationist, adventurer, reformer and author who suffered profound personal loss and became at age 42 the youngest president of the United States, having a monumental impact that is still felt today. From coming to understand Roosevelt’s privileged yet sickly childhood, viewers will see how his early motivation and perseverance to “make” his body set him up for a lifelong pursuit of fighting injustice.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
