bush and bill clinton joined forces to launch the leadership scholars program. it is a partnership between the presidential centers of was, of bush, clinton, george h w bush, and lbj. this is an hour and five minutes. -- this is about 30 minutes. [applause] >> before i have a chance to ask you questions, i have a letter that arrived from walkers point. september 8th, 2014. i am delighted to send greeting to those gathered in washington, d.c. for the launch of a partnership between the presidential leader scholar programs. every former president is different. and that is as it should be. for example, not all of us sky dive. [laughter] that is not a judgmental comment. just a fact. every so often there is an idea that is so compelling it brings together former chief executives to push it forward. so it is with this program and offer people to study decisions and learn from key administrations and practitioners and leading academics. we face a lot of challenges in and out of government so the idea of developing more leaders from all walks of life to address them an

there are few here by more recent scholars.lus we collect published papers of a lot of the people we work on, people like andrew jackson, henry clay, george washington, a lot of their person papers are published so we buy their works as well. this biography of of tecumseh i found to be fascinating because it looks as tecumseh -- and i'm interested in american indian history and started doing a lot of work with that -- is one of my favorite books, and then -- see if this one is here. yes, this one right here. this book right here is one of my favorites because it was one of the groundbreaking pieces of scholarship done on the creek indians, deer skins and duffles is an incredible book. i would recommend that to just about anybody. and it's accessible so a very scholarly book. a lot of historians write for other historians. and we want historians to read our books, but i think it's more important that you make the books or articles, whatever you're writing, accessible to a general public. so that they will be interested. how many

student organization for young people under the age of 18 to promote pro-democracy activism called scholarism. wong and his friends first became politically active when objecting to the patriotic education introduced into hong kong schools. through their activities, they examined china's relations with hong kong and decided to devote themselves to the pro-democracy movement. >> wong urges secondary school juniors to boycott classes on september 26 when he plans to hold a rally in front of parliament. this square is where wong first demonstrated against patriotic education. it is currently cordoned off. this is where the start of a new struggle for hong kong will begin. it's 9:00 a.m. at admiralty station, the closest station to parliament. secondary school juniors from all over hong kong have gathered here to take part in the rally. they wear yellow ribbons to show solidarity with pro-democracy activists. some schools have banned students from participating, while others have discouraged them from wearing the ribbons. mo than 1,500 students have shown up. it was their own decisn to participat

those debates continue among scholars. i can't help but take the opportunity to point out that this becomes wrapped up in the activity of the unionist underground, to get back to the topic of southern unionism which i wrote in southern lady yankee spy, unionists in richmond discerned the location of dahlgren's body. they have him disinterred and clandestinely moved to the farm of a unionist in virginia where he's given a proper burial surrounded by family and friends, or ersatz family, not his actual family, but well-wishers and friends. the controversy boils on, dahlgren's father, who is a union admiral, and quite an eminent fellow, asks the confederate government if they could please return the body of his son to him. he begs the confederate government. the confederates say no but finally they relent and they say, okay, we'll give you the body back and the confederates go to dig up dahlgren's body in the dog's grave and they find it's not there. that the unionist underground has moved it, and this is one of many signs th

, both indigenous and several important nonindigenous scholars, who attempt to restore the label are rejected for publication on the basis. indigenous scholars look to research and thinking that has emerged in the rest of european colonized world. to understand the historical and current expenses of indigenous people in the united states, these thinkers and writers drop on creatively come and creatively apply the historical materialism of marxism in some cases, the liberation theology develop in latin america, social analysis of sets of colonialism on the colonizer and the colonized, and other approaches including development theory and postmodern theory, postcolonial theory. while not abandoning insights gained from those sources do the the exceptional mission of the u.s. colonialism among 19th century colonial powers, indigenous scholars and activists are engaged in exploring new approaches. in this book i claim it's a history of the united states from and indigenous peoples perspective, but, of course, there's no such thing as a collective indigenous peoples perspective, just as t

davis, a scholar i quoted several times here. davis was ambivalent about the schemes, he didn't think they were central and secondly, the men involved in the plots, the canadian agents and so on were oftentimes improvising without orders from davis and were quite feckless. delusional may be putting it slightly too strongly. i think that there's a connection in that there's this long fascination with the possibility of infiltration, fwu confederates don't have the means or the men or the will to really do it and they find, again and again, when they do try to foam at discontent in the north that -- that the imagined anti-war, northern tide that they hoped to conger into. they are forced to conclude that much of this expectation of northern revolt is missing the public opinion. yes. sir. >> let's back up a bit. eight months before the election was the kilpatrick raid and the fuss over that lasted a few months. it wasn't until after that that the confederacy sent the agents to canada. so, would you like to comment on what -- >> the

there are some legal scholars who say this is totally okay, and there are a lot of legal scholars, includingathan turley who openly admits he voted for president obama, agrees with things but you don't do it by going around the system. going back to what you said, harris, real quickly in terms of the border here, there are going to be very serious con consequences for the executive action. i.c.e. is already readying thousands of beds because they know there's going to be another surge of unaccompanied children, and there's people all over social media saying do i get my money back, my ten years of life back -- >> separated from their children, their children are still here. now do you let them come back into the country so you can reunite all those families? you mentioned the democrats, the lawmakers, some of it claire mccaskill said i'm uncomfortable with it. that's a lot different than what angus king said. >> background checks, remember that from last night? how can we believe you? your department of homeland security said you release nonviolent illegals before, and "usa today" it turned

others will say, other scholars that it is 21st century economic dominance. how else do you explain it, right? it must come out of the imperial quest. well, the thing is, the interesting thing is i was writing this book which harvard press brought out just last year. i thought my goodness, will you take off the glasses and take off the hearing device that filters evidence, you actually find that there's a lot of evidence, obvious evidence, that argues against all of these forms of interpretation. let's take the first one. it expanded across the west. that does sound fairly impeeristimpeeris imimperialistic. until you say, what is the context of that. this is happening through out the americas. i like this particular picture because it shows what a krizy crazy quilt latin america was after it declared independence. there were 21 border wars, very similar to the u.s.-mexican border war a hundred years following latin-america independence. this particular one shows latin-america before the war of the pacific when chile invaded north and took big chunks out of pe

he was not exactly a scholar. that gusto and lust for battle. just, damn, anything that gets in my way. and then there was general sheridan who was himself a young man at the time of this fight. and last, of course, is the horse. [laughter] [laughter] oh, we are going to do it here tonight, folks, you just wait. ,eneral sheridan' horse winchester. ready to go to battle. kathy golden writes the horse was named ramsey. but it was renamed winchester after the 1864 battle. and waser died in 1878 preserved in a museum in new york for years and years per day think the story is the museum burned down and the horse came into the smithsonian collection. one of the great stories about this horse is one of the pieces poetry, thatce of accompanied this course -- horse's trip into legacy, and those are both the painting and the poem, the work of thomas buchanan read. in 1996, there was a really nice reed talks about rates in both feet poem and painting the painting, and this comes from the article -- reed spent a month in new orleans doing preliminary sketch

but i don't think the support was as universal or as consistent as most scholars think, and for that reason, i think the 78% statistic can be a little bit deceiving. clearly, as i think i've shown, some soldiers were intimidated or coerced into voting for lincoln. of equal, or maybe even greater importance, though, is understanding soldiers who chose not to vote. i believe that many democratic soldiers in 1864 chose not to vote for either party because they looked at lincoln and they said he was an abolitionist, and they looked at the democrats and they saw them as disloyal. after all, the democrats had called their effort in the field a failure. so voter turnout among the soldiers is something that historians have never really taken seriously, but i think it can reveal a great deal about what the election meant. i found a corporal from michigan. his name was george buck. he was in the 20th michigan of volunteers and he sent mcclellan a letter explaining what had taken place in his particular regiment. he claimed the power of the military had been used, he said, without stint to keep

scholars both indigenous and several important nonindigenous scholars who would attempt to rectify the distortions are labeled advocates and their findings are rejected for publication on that basis. indigenous colors look to research and inking that have emerged in the rest of the colonized world. to understand the historical experiences of the indigenous people, these thinkers and writers creatively apply to historical materialism of marxism in some place, to liberation theology developed and want america, social analysis to the effects of colonialism on the colonized there, colonized another approach is including development eerie and postmodern theory, postcolonial theory. all of many insights gained from the source is due to the exceptional nature of the u.s. colonialism among 19th century colonial powers, indigenous scholars and activists are in gauged in exploring new approaches. well, in this book, i climbed the history of the united states from integers people's perspective. but of course there is no such thing as a collect of indigenous peoples perspective, just as there is n

as the scholar pointed out in his book "ignorance and the electorate" only 38% of americans knew thathe soviet union was not a member of nato in 1964 at the height of the cold war. in 1986, a majority of americans were unable to identify soviet leader mikael gorbachev by name. it is conceded it's rational for people to not gain more knowledge for voting. it's scary when more than half of the americans don't know if the senate or house are controlled by republicans or democrats which is the case according to a recent poll. from the annenberg public policy center. we all worry about the quality of politicians in today's democracies, but what about the quality of voters? how can we make decisions about war and peace and decisions of v values if the citizens are misinformed about the basic facts involved. james madison perhaps put it best, quote, popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy or perhaps both, unquote. we've linked to the perils of perception quiz on our website. take it at your own risk and then do go

each is an outstanding scholar. she teaches constitutional and property law at fordham law school here in new york, and recently published this highly acclaimed book, "corruption in america: from benjamin franklin's snuff box to citizens united." larry lessig teaches law at harvard and directs that university's edmond j. safra center for ethics. both champion free and fair competition in our economy and our elections. zephyr teachout ran for governor of new york in the democratic primary against incumbent and friend of wall street, andrew cuomo. >> my name is zephyr teachout and i'm running in the democratic primary for the governor of the state of new york. >> a political unknown with no money, she surprised just about everyone, including cuomo, by getting more than a third of the votes. a good showing, given that he spent $60.62 for each of his votes while she could only spend $1.57, but, nonetheless, still a defeat. larry lessig decided to fight fire with fire. he raised several million dollars for a super pac ca

so while the white house touts the legal scholar's president it is the neutrality can question. >> youk? >> that is genuinely amusing. trace good to see you. the there you have it. >> just days ago while on the kelly file i sat down with yet another respected liberal legal scholar. jonathan turely is nationally recognized expert in constitutional law testifying in front of congress on several occasions with cornell, duke, harvard and university of chicago among others. shockingly they did not call him because he has a very different opinion on executive power and has been warning that america is reaching a tipping point. good to see you again professor. you have spoken out about this through president bush's years and now through president obama's years and talked about the rise of an uber presidency. is the president about to violate the separation of powers if he goes ahead and does this. >> we are waiting for the details but what i am hearing certainly causes great concern that he will again violate separation of powers. supreme court already ruled the president will violate separat

now, these various esteemed scholars believed lincoln throughout the campaign. writes mcpherson, quote, having won the military victory that turned the war around, these civilians in uniform preferred to give old abe a thumping endorsement at the polls. i'm going to offer a slightly different interpretation than jennifer weber in my talk. she says this: when union soldiers' support for lincoln and the republicans never wai d waivered, even in the dark days of 1864. when lincoln stood at the lowest point, his support in the ranks was sustenance. i think this is a story that everybody else had turned against lincoln but the soldiers were there supporting him. but i think it needs to be complicated a little bit. and in order to do that, i need to take us back to the very beginning of the civil war and look at how lincoln and the republican party dealt with the issues of emancipation and the troops. now, many scholars believe that many soldiers came to support emancipation as a result of their interaction with slaves. they went south, they saw slaves for the first t

so whatever the reasons, scholars left the field of american diplomatic history. what happened is that political scientists took it up and they are mostly concerned with modern policy issues. their knowledge of history is not deep. that's not their field. the historians who stayed in the field were historians who generally subscribed and often generally still do subscribe to the idea that the american record is one long story of empire and imperialism. that goes back to george washington and ben franklin. but empire i think is a terribly misleadingly term that obscures the challenges as i said facing us today and a misdiagnosis as we know is often more dangerous than no diagnosis at all. because with a misdiagnosis you can make the wrong prescription and in fact, there are groups like al qaeda which also claim the u.s. sis an empire to which there's only one answer which is death to the empire or death to america. what i'd like to do is tell you a little bit about who some of these people are because sometimes i myself think am i exaggerating this that this is the

in contrast, privacy scholars -- policy scholars believe that anonmy saization provides real practical protection to most of the people most of the time. car which the locks on your door at home are pretty good but not good enough to keep a determined intruder at bay. that's the idea behind anonmization. there is some critical where it is critical toll protect a person's identity. for example, for victims of domestic abuse we need to ensure their location is protected and cannot be reidentified by their abuser, however, in in m setings if we apply effective but not perfect deidentification proceed yours, overall privacy protection may be increased and data may be more useful. in such cases, the perfect should not be the enemy of the good it might be considered how the determine in practice when agencies should insist on technically strict deidentification versus when effective but not perfect deidentification may address the bulk of the risk. finally, threat modeling is critical for counterterrorism and we must improve it to achieve two goals. first, we must develop privacy-oriented th

they didn't just have the ten legal scholars. we can argue how many legal scholars each side had.put out a memo from the office of legal counsel explaining the legality of what the president did. that doesn't mean it was a good idea. i have concerns about what i call the constitutional prudence of what he did. i have fewer doubts of legality. my concern is how future presidents will use this precedent to do other things, to ignore other laws. but on immigration, maybe the time just had to come to act. >> woodruff: should more to have the focus be on the constitution question and legality or more of the focus be on, okay, it's happened, let's deal with it politically? >> first, i think it should be on the constitution. there are two issues, one is the status of the 5 million people who are affected and on the substance i'm totally with the president on that. but the larger issue is do people have faith in the government, does our legislative process function? the constitution is not just a legal argument. it is a set of norms and practices and it's a political document, and it seem

. >> reporter: but just exactly who she was is an interesting question, says religion scholar bernardoo. he says one reason the virgin of guadalupe may have worked as a unifying, or pacifying, force is that this was the site of a temple to tonantzin, a mother figure among aztec deities long before the spanish arrived. in new spain, as mexico was first called, the virgin's image, cloaked in indian garments, may well have represented tonantzin, albeit christianized. barranco says the guadalupe shrine certainly helped the spanish cause of converting the indians. >> christianity was imposed over the generations, and at the same time the image of tonantzin starts to fade away and the christian virgin is seen more. the new virgin has more indigenous characteristics in cultural terms. it is a mexicanization of the virgin. >> reporter: through the years, questions have been raised about the authenticity of the guadalupe story. some scholars note that the first written record of juan diego's existence is found more than 100 years after the 1531 apparition. >> i'm not only a religious person. i'

board of education is too many scholars and uncritically assume or even the labor movement in the 40s. second i argue bottom of change through state formation, bottom up change shakes state formation counting political development to decentered the role of political institution in this political science literature. and the naacp is publicized at the federal level at a time when previous scholarships suggest black organizations were inactive. it tournament the naacp played a pivotal role in the growth of central court power and subsequently in civil rights by helping the supreme court wrestle away jurisdictions and supreme court in the first quarter of the 20th century. the book focuses on the extent of efforts to shift public opinion in pushing a legislative and executive branches of the federal government in a direction of agnew they were not yet willing to go. finally i argue when these attempts failed to produce federal protection the naacp redirected its efforts to the supreme court when it took up the landmark case. on another important point this book is about well-established y

scholar greg luciano outlines the problem.courages students to accept censorship by accepting that freedom of speech is the enemy of such. it was only a matter of time before some bad intellectual on-campus or harming the dialogue of our entire country. what happens on our campuses profoundly influences what happens in our businesses, our homes, and in our policymaking. and i think we should be concerned. the danger of political correctness is not simply to academic freedom when students have the power to think for themselves, when there are multiple perspectives and disciplines and presentations, and when they are led to believe that they should be free from upset. they are being deprived of the challenging education they deserve. and all of us are being deprived of thoughtful citizens, prepared workers, and lifelong learners that are -- that our societies requires. scholars don't blame political correctness exactly, but they do say in large numbers they are seen college graduates that cannot think critically, right with -- a

so while the white house touts these legal scholars' prominence, it's their neutrality that comes intouestion. megyn. >> you think? that's genuinely amusing. trace, good to see you. well, there you have it. i mean, they have spoken. >>> well; just days ago right here on "the kelly file" i sat down with yet another very well respected liberal legal scholar. george washington university law professor jonathan turley. he's a nationally recognized expert in constitutional law testifying in front of congress on several occasions and contributing to leading journals at cornell, duke, harvard, northwestern and the university of chicago among others. shockingly they did not call him. because he has a very different opinion on executive power and has been warning that america is reaching a tipping point. good to see you again, professor. so you have spoken out about this through president bush's years and now through president obama's years and talked about the rise of an uber presidency. is the president in your view about to violate the separation of powers if he goes ahead and does this? >>

. >> iwf scholars focus on issues ranging from healthcare to agricultural policy and affordable energythe premise is all issues are women's issues. >> we want sensible policies that will allow our economy to grow and job creation and allow women and families to have freedom of choice. >> iwf is nonpartisan. schaeffer takes issue with republicans and democrats. she charges the g.o.p. with failing to communicate with women because they don't take gender differences seriously enough. she is disappointed that libertarians and conservatives have failed to sell women on the value of limited government. >> it's so easy to see what government gives us. a higher minimum wage. maybe expanded healthcare coverage. a new school lunch program. what is harder to see is what is take anne way when government grows whether it's under republicans or democrats. the civic society that is lost. >> iwf scholars who contributed to the book say the marketplace is where to find answers to failed economic policies. >> realize how many of these l laws may backfire may not only hurt women but hurt men. like the pa

is a really interesting -- if you ask scholars want to think about this issue that we have. like how would you represented history in an object in 150 words. it is a really difficult task. when you're thinking about 500 years of american cultural identity. and 150 words, that is my label. right? all of the others are 50 words or less. so, there are specific constraints of the museum space. but folk life explores a lot of really cool things that do not always make it into exhibits but that exist in a really cool way on the national mall during the summer. a lot of people participate. all migratehey there for a little while and experience what is going on with the festival. aren't you doing projects in california? can i throw that out there? >> we are struggling and thinking through how it might be possible to do a festival. festival is an event that happens on the national mall on the space between the museums. it includes performances and narrative sessions and craft demonstrations. in reason why it was created the late 1960's was really this idea of a more democratic vision

numerous other independent scholars have replicated the findings. people like james scott and kerry steele and others. not only do they find democracy aid seems to be positively associated with this, they find democracy aid seems to help countries that are emerging from civil conflict, maintain a fragile peace by reducing political uncertainty. i think that speaks to some of the debates from the previous panel about fragility and uncertainty. although there's all this good news, there's also some bad news. from where i sit, although the sudden did is seem to show it works on average, we don't have a fully compelling understanding of why it works and under what conditions it works. that's tricky. without that knowledge, it's hard to figure out how to avoid some of the headline grabbing worse case scenarios of the past. it's hard to know how to design programs better in the future. i wanted to offer some tentative ideas here about the conditions under which democracy promotion seeps most likely to succeed. i'm sure others on the panel are -- maybe som

>> i was blessed to work with a scholar, the finest scholar from germany, we had a trans-atlantic dialogue with her idea action will be to come up with this dialogue and focus on these towering figures, frederick douglass, martin luther king jr. the inevitable ella baker but i do want to see this because you have been added to singing high level quality in such a magnificent way. 17 years you covered this. thank you very much. how that makes a difference. >> host: let's go back to you. why are these people profitable? >> there is one they exemplify, integrity, honesty, decency, we live in such a market driven culture, a lot of criminality. attempt to be a person of integrity, honesty and decency makes you counterculture role but obviously becomes more a liability, almost subversive in some instances in our culture and when you look at these figures they have a sensitivity to your needs and suffering of others but fundamentally committed to be decent honest people who simplify integrity. >> host: how well known was w. e. b. du bois in his time? >> the most famous black intellectual of his d
