not only seniors but to every american. we have already seen the incredible savings that can be generated by price negotiation. the biden administration lowered prices on 10 drugs and seniors will be saving 10.5 billion. imagine if this was able. this is what we are doing here. there is no reason this should be partisan. trump said he would negotiate like crazy over prescription drugs. this is the opportunity to lower every day prices for american families and if republicans are serious, they would join us in supporting this legislation. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from minnesota. mrs. fischbach: i would like to yield four minutes to the gentleman from new york. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york is recognized for four minutes. >> i thank my colleague. this november, the american people called for a government that works, a congress that functions and leadership that delivers results. to achieve this, we must raise the threshold for the motion to vacate from one to nine members en

scripture, an american scripture. there's a canon of that american scripture. and we might argue about what belongs in that in that canon, and especially in the 19th century, we start calling our heroes the apostle stars, the disciples, martyrs. we talk about the temple of our liberty. we talk about the of our liberties. now, some of that goes back to classical antiquity. if we speak of the sacred fire of liberty that goes back to antiquity, either. yeah. on page 47, bella says declaration of independence is the constitution, the sacred scriptures in washington the divinely appointed moses, who led his people out of the hands of tyranny. so it's that same connection that. yeah, and this gets to over time and it might provoke a lot of controversy, right. who belongs in in in that exalted company and then after civil war lincoln and his words have become part of american scripture. he has this sense of the martyr president. right. that happens very quickly. happens with death. he's already elevated into that into that i

we will use american resources, american technology, and millions of american workers to do it with. what did the republicans propose? they think of their energy program as two parts. first, to get rid of almost everything we have done for the american public in the last three years. they want to reduce the synthetic fuel program. they want to slash federal energy, conservation programs, aid to mass transit, aid to elderly americans to pay their fuel bill. the republicans would like to get the clean air act --gut the clean air act. as they never liked it to begin with. that is one part of the program. the other part is worse. there replacement we have built -- this is what they propose. to destroy the windfall tax and unleash the oil companies and let them solve the energy problem for us. that said. [crowd booing] there is no more. it is an outrageous program. are we going to accept the cells rages -- this outrageous program? no. we will fight it every step of the way beginning tomorrow morning with my campaign for reelection in november.

an american which is to longer at war, which is made historic investments in american workers, americanfactories, generated the strongest economy in the world which is now in a much better position in the future against any competitor these are not partisan they are american. they benefit all americans and reflect america's endless capacity for leadership and reinvention. look folks, the united states should take full advantage of our diplomatic and to political opportunities we created to keep bringing countries together, to deal with challenges posed by china. to make sure putin's war ends and a just and lasting peace for ukraine. to capitalize on a new moment for more stable, integrated middle east. to do that the next administration must make sure the fall of assad does not lead to resurgent vices in syria, across the region we must carryforward of the commitment that america will never and never allow iran to acquire a nuclear weapon. and the war between israel and hamas on the brink of proposal as laid out in detail months ago, finally coming to fruition. i have learned many years

the american dream? what's clear is everyday americans are fed up understandably concerned, frustrated and angry about their decline in quality of life which happens for tickets with the size of the middle class has gone down. that is a problem. the problem is not raymond, it's not the gulf of mexico and the need to rename it in the problem is not the panama canal it's making sure the american dream is brought to life for everyone in this nation. >> from border czar is not ruling out what it is you really delegate authority i have no idea the context to something about november election results. this foolishness part of this in washington d.c. and the american families. congestion pricing is an opportunity pretty it's been few days. discuss feelings on. >> president-elect trump helping one of those addressing this. what are your odds? those who represent all parties. >> the thing that's different about this issue is that republicans burn the house down. our you kidding me? it was obliterated as part is t

made historic investments in american workers, american energy, american factories. generated the strongest economy in the world which is now in the better position to win competition. these wins are not partisan, they are american and benefit all americans. and reflect america's endless capacity of leadership and re-invention. look, folks, united states should take full advantage of our geo political advantage. keep bringing countries together to deal with challenges possessed by china. make sure that putin's war ends in a just and lasting peace for ukraine. capatalize on a new moment, a more stable disbreghted middle east. -- integrated middle east. the next administration must make sure that the fall of assad must not lead to vicees in syria. must carry the commitment that america will never allow iran to fire a nuclear weapon. and the war between israel and hamas and the brink of a proposal that are laid in detail months ago finally coming to fruition. i have learned many years of public service to never, never, never ever give up. i spoke to the prime minister o

, spanish, those of color, those native americans who fought and fled from american freedom.let us applaud them all for. well, they are friends, as you are well aware. i have been invited back to america. courtesy of your very own president of these united states, mr. monroe, to be what he is a guest of the nation to talk all 24 united states. can you imagine? 24? do you realize the last time i was here, you had about 30. goodness. at this rate, you'll have as many as 51 day. could you imagine? but my friends, now that i have the test, i am certainly fair minded. but first inspired me to cross the great ocean and to take part in this noble crusade for friends. i first heard of this cause back in 1775. i was actually at know, a second lieutenant, newly promoted to the rank of captain, and i attended a special dinner party, this one attended by the brother to the king of england. but unlike his brother, the king of england, this man was rather sympathetic to the american cause. we spoke of many subjects the fighting at lexington and the concord, the grand congress in philadelph

he changed american politics. he got himself elected at a time in 1975 you had washington journal then, only the nerdiest of nerds would have known who he was, yet he was the president a few years later. on jimmy carter's watch the soviet union, which was a serious power, was expanding. on employment was high. inflation was growing -- unemployment was high. energy prices were going through the roof. nobody under the age of 50 remember's this anymore. we had such a shortage of gasoline that you had to park in line for hours just to fill up your tank. americans saw this as a failure. i have not even mentioned iran hostage crisis, and unbelievable humiliation of -- an unbelievable humiliation of the greatest nation on earth. it set the stage for ronald reagan because he successfully answered all those questions. he answer the problems and solve the problems jimmy carter exacerbated and helped create. he's an incredibly decent man, well-intentioned, good to great politician but poor president. host: you missed the opp

for the american people. we want to work with anyone and hold the line whenever necessary to achieve that goal. mr. president, the time to get to work is now. it's a new day. a new congress. and democrats stand united and ready to fight and deliver to the american people. yield the floor. note the absence of quorum. >> the clerk will call the rol . >> on capitol hill today the opening day and the start of the 119th congress in both the house and senate speaker mike johnson has been reelected by 3 vote margin. the final vote 218 to 215 with one another vote cast by kentucky thomas massey mike johnson successful in his bid to remain speaker of the 119th congress with the swearing in of members now underway you can watch live@c-span.org and we are expecting to see the swearing in of house

ask the american people.ll you that as long as i am president, we will hold high the banner of human rights and you can depend on it. [applause] here at home, here at home, the choice between the two futures is equally important. in the long run, nothing is more crucial to the future of america than energy. nothing was so neglected in the past, long after the 1973 arab oil embargo, republicans in the white house have still done nothing to meet the threat to the national security of our nation. then as now, their policy was dictated by the big oil companies! [applause] we democrats fought hard to rally our nation behind the comprehensive energy policy. a new foundation of challenging and exciting progress. now after three years of struggle, we have that program. the battle to secure americans' energy future has been fully and finally joined. americans have cooperated with dramatic results. we have reversed decades of dangerous dependence on foreign oil. we are importing 20% less oil. that is 1.5 million barrel

pocketbook and american consumer. the price environment today is profoundly different. you said spiked. actually oil prices today are significantly lower than they have been over an average in the past few years. actually we have just a fundamentally different price environment. and that is the reason for why now. president biden was not going to impose sanctions on russia's oil sector if it meant an undue burden on american working families. he does not believe the action he took places such an undue burden on them. he believes as you project out over the course of 2025 on supply and demand that the oil market is very well supplied. that oil prices will stabilize in a place that does not impose on due -- undue burdens on american consumers. on the one hand we can hit putin's pocketbook without taking too big a whack out of the american people's pocketbook. that was not an opportunity available to us one year ago. it is now an opportunity available to us. that is eighty president took this decision. the other point i

to younger americans, but also in a way that could be received by all americans, because democracy belongs to all of us and in different ways will be, you know, required to step, step forward in, defend what has been gifted to us by those upon whose shoulders that we stand often in, very different and difficult. you know, i think a ruth bader ginsburg, for instance, you know, growing up in a community in flatbush, brooklyn really a holocaust survivor, was at a time when so many -- across the world had just been devasted by the events of holocaust and to be part of a community and eventually go on to be her high school valedictorian and go off to school and, eventually to law school, and emerge as one of the brightest stars of her school class, but then couldn't get hired by a traditional law firm and went on to practice at the highest levels of advocacy and eventually on the supreme court. you know, that's part of the resilience of the american journey. and john lewis, of course, a great american. you know, i'll never forget on the floor, the house i ran into, john lewis. you know, we get

american way of life, turn them into turn, turn the rising generation into americans. then it's done. this whole division would simply poof, it would vanish. that was the that was the idea i think went beyond that look closely at this this metal can you see over there see the right on the left. what's going on in front of the schoolhouse baseball. you got to make them real americans. teach them baseball. right? so so we'll make them christians or local farmers. we'll teach them we'll send their kids to school and we'll teach in baseball. then they become real americans, right. what's fascinating to me here is that if you know your american history east and west and especially if you look at emancipation and, the aftermath of emancipation, this was, of course, precisely what the government policy toward bringing freed people into citizenship, give them a farm that we didn't do it. but that was the vision 40 acres and a mule. right. make them farmers, make them christians with already christians. there was this vibrant black church among the slave communities. take their

about a hundred african americans, maybe a couple hured asian americans, virtually no native american that time. but within a few years, when civil rights laws passed and educational opportunity policies opened up affirmative action, it began to change. so, long story short, i was struggling mightily as a student at ucla. i was coming from the compton unified school district. it was really difficult for me at ucla those first two years. i figured it out, but what led to the inspiration for me to become a better student and would have an impact on the rest of my life and the development of chicano studies, so getting to the question that you asked, it was taking the first african american history course and the first chicano mexican american history course ever offered in the university of california system in 1968 and 69. and for me, it was like a light going on in my head. it inspired me to be a better student, it inspired me to think about eventually a career, once a couple of professors thought i had some possibilities to go on to graduate school and maybe be a professor someday. t

never been like that. >> rosa and i showed that we trusted the american people.e animosity and hatred of our country's politicians to be over. >> his walk down pennsylvania avenue was his first step to what he saw as a very non- imperial presidency. >> everything i got into office, went to town, vietnam, time to get that in america's history out of the way. >> it was a controversial move and the first of many, soon he was charting a radical new course for american foreign policy making human rights the centerpiece of american doctrine. >> no member of the united nations can claim the mistreatment of its citizens is solely its own business. >> the idea of human rights and democracy has been at the center of the american ideal. until jimmy carter, really no american president gave with the emphasis that he gave it. >> one of his first acts as president was to reach out rightly to dissidents and civil rights activists in the soviet union you really shut things up in russia. you sent a message to the russian people, you have a right to be free and ended the soviet em

culture, american views and american policies.a very ambitious effort and it was very much president eisenhower's creation. it was created in 1953 soon after he was elected president and the first member of usia was sworn in at the white house by the president himself. the first director attended meetings with the president and as part of the national security council, and under usia was the voice of america and many, many other elements of information, if you issue, information policy. i also happened to have been an employee of usia for five years as director of the russian service of the voice of america which was then part of usia so i had direct contact with and involvement in the work of the usia. so let me just run through some of the programs that usia was responsible for and why they played such an important role in -- well, throughout the entire cold war. i may add very short sightedly the u.s. closed the agency in the 1990s considering it to be -- considering a peace dividend that we had won the cold war and we no longe

neither do the americans know. and as always, we really do appreciate your input and insight into all of these developments that we have seen over the last couple of hours as well. and the sharp edges era senior, political and list for us there was a, this is how i will be back in just a moment with much more of the day's news, including the latest developments on potential 65 deal between as well and palestinians and gaza. the, the venezuela, columbia, buddha has become a stomping grounds for trespasses as desperate people transgress and illegal passage to feed an emerging fuel trafficking market. we followed the perilous journey unguarded through the line of fire. of the risk at all or offend is wayland columbia. on al jazeera, we are to see the series of legends some clothes for the stories of civilizations, death, march history, one. this is where the story of savannah didn't have any stories to tell the the hello until mccrae. this is the news. how i live from coming off in the next 60 minutes. more bodies sca

are of americans, of course. so you can say any more about american politics, that money money buys it because she had way more money than i the money money may not buy it, but it makes a pretty good down payment. and uh, yeah, trump, uh, i think with all said and done, they'll probably be combined about 3 or $4000000000.00 spent in a selection. just surprise and make no mistake about it. when the united states supreme court gave a couple rulings over the last 2 decades of but the versus the lego and citizens united, that essentially said minus for a space. all the corporate interest came in. they formed these packs all kinds of ok and sophisticated ways of, of lacking transparency and be able to influence the lectures they did at, at every level under something and every level. however you point out correctly that there was something else for it in america. and that is that the desire of people for an end to a uh, a global is position which spent the resources of our country all over the world. forgot about thin

we need more options for the american people. i'm a a father for several than a a 9-year-old about the honest with you i worry about what kind of america my kids will grow up in. families i've talked to new jersey these challenges with care whether it's the sandwich generation like myself or others trying to figure out how they will pay the bill. they aren't asking for the moon. they are just asking to have a life of dignity to be able to live their best lights to afford the kind of living that they want for their loved ones. that's all i want for my dad and my family and my kids here to hear from people in new jersey saying they feel the weight of this anxiety. they say it's hard to breathe because they feel so anxious about what's happening right now. it's feels like death from a thousand cuts. that's what i'm here for and i'm grateful for my colleagues climb alongside making sure we will deliver to the people in their daily lives and their daily needs. thank you so much. [applause] from the great state of delaware >> thank you

we need more options for the american people but i am a father of a seven old and 9-year-old. will be honest with you i worry about what kind of american might kids are when you grow up in. so many families i talked to care.nges of they it is hard to breathe. it feels like death from a thousand cuts, they are struggling for. that is what i'm here for, and grateful for my colleagues to fight alongside, to deliver for the people and their daily leaves and needs thank you so much. >> from great state of delaware. >> thank you leader schumer for hosting this press conference, i'm excited to be here with my colleagues. i have a message to the american people, i can tell you one thing, we senate democratic caucus are ready. we're ready. we're ready to fight for working families. we're ready to fight for our communities mr. americans. as you may know my colleague chris coons and i represent a small but mighty state. delaware. but what you might not know is that delaware is only 3 counties. we are blue, purple and red, we work with everybody. we are urban, suburban, rural and coastal.

it's really not until the war of 1812 that americans start really viewing themselves as americans rather than virginians, pennsylvanians and new yorkers. so he sees that there's this unity that's building. he wants to continue this and he wants to avoid political parties. now, if you ignore the division or an issue that's happening and you don't address it, it's going to continue to fester, which is what happens under monroe's administration. political resentment deeply grew under monroe's administration and as party factions grew, the federalist party collapsed. and the idea of who would lead the nation into its non founder future was starting to take shape. so in the hopes of stirring up some fervor and excitement, monroe looked all the way across the atlantic to a hero who was still very much alive. reaches out to lafayette. monroe's connection to lafayette is not just this simple thread of american patriotism, though, that is a very strong thread to connect them. when he had served as american minister of france, monroe and his wife elizabeth cortright, were instrumental in saving ad

so this question of then the expansion of american -- of the american family. that too begins their -- the civil war is critically important in there, but the same thing is happening out west, and it's happening before it begins in the east. it's a ental development. finally, as you know from the story in the east, with these efforts to embrace free people and brick them into the family, it was met with bitter resistance, often a very violent resistance by whites who had been in control before and the parallel once again, the same thing is happening out west. while the government is pushing for that, there are those out west who say no, no. we want the land. we want to control it. the prime case is in california, which is one of the few cases in american history in which the term "genocide" definitely applies. government sponsored, government paid militias to go into indian country and slaughter indians. that happened. it was paid for by the state government, and the state government was reimbursed by congress. so a conscious genocidal effort to destroy the ind

that's the equivalent of 20 million americans, more americans than served in world war ii.y of these courageous fighters are but of college age in america. what a striking comparison. young israelis heeding the call of duty fighting for their families, their people, and their homeland, while the pro-hamas apologists on so-called elite campuses across america are a naproxen zone -- paroxism of bloodlust calling for intifada and genocide with signs saying final solution. chanting death to israel and chanting death to america. we know what it must look like i . but i want you to know something. those views, though given airtime by some radical democrat members of congress, those views do not reflect the views of the american people. the american people stand firmly behind you and we are already seeing the majority in the body in which i serve, the united states congress, fight back and turn the tide. let me repeat, america is firmly behind israel and the jewish people. and this goes back to our nation's founding. in 1790, america's founding father george washington wrote a let

and american products and american people. and the best way to grow our economy is to grow the backbone of our nation. the middle class. that's what my investing in america agenda has done. the landmark laws that shore up our infrastructure, our manufacturing base, and our people. together these are some of the most significant investments in america since the new deal. for decades american infrastructure has been neglected. but our bipartisan infrastructure will you is finally modernizing the nation's roads, bridges, ports, airports, transit systems, and more. removing every lead pipe in america so every child can drink clean water and providing affordable high speed internet for every american, no matter where they live. and it's making sure these projects are done with american products and american workers creating hundreds of thousands of good-paying new jobs, many of them union jobs. for too long american factories have moved overseas. taking vital industries with with them. now our chips and science act is bringing manu

that is the american dream.at is what we are running to and that is what we get when we send donald trump back to the white house this november. thank you. god bless you. and the great state of new york. and may god bless our united states of america. thank you god bless. thank you, guys. scott, i can. ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage former congresswoman tulsi gabbard. coming back here to the of the drama in a fight. to save this man's to defend the kingdom of the lands that hello new york. join me as i say these words we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and that we are endowed by our creator with unalienable rights. that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, as. as we gather here today on this historic occasion, we stand together as proud americans and that these very rights are under attack. so we face this historic crossroads where our freedom and our future is in our hands. there's never been a more clear choice in any election in my

it resonates with the american people. as was mentioned it's an 80 to 90% issue or more on every poll you look at. it should not he partisan. we should have every single member of congress united on this and i would challenge you to question the democrats who voted against how the world they could but i don't understand it at all. again i want to thank all these fierce warriors and supporters who have stood strong in issues and made it possible. it possible to expect their senate colleagues to do the right thing as well and we will and we will get to the presence desk for signature and one more thing in returning commonsense. [applause] and thank you all for being here. god bless. [inaudible conversations] two months after he rejected his policies president biden is doubling down. last week and build a new front in this war on american energy is sweeping bam on new offshore oil and gas development covering the entirety's coast and large portions of the west coast for the eastern gulf of mexico and parts of the northern ber

infertility is skyrocketing among americans. sperm count is down 50% and a generation. 25% 25% of women are suffering with pc os as a answer for the medical system is more drugs. still to this day the american medical association says a six month old should get a covid jab and parents are called war criminals who have been questioning the 72 shots that are recommended for kids even though there's many different policies around the world. we can't ask questions. ladies and gentlemen, a new coalition is forming. donald trump has brought voices like vani, like alex clark to the top of national conversation. people talk about how healthcare and government efficiency go hand in hand. we went bankrupt as a country because we're getting so sick that we spent three times more capital on healthcare than your. and let the seven years less a most european countries because we're getting so sick. leaders ended up edit media from tucker carlson to joe rogan to charlie kirk to megyn kelly are talking about this issue every single day. [applau

americans, but the business, the leads in the united states, i hate the american people. there is no other way to describe it. and we look at what you on musk and other elements of the new trump administration are pushing in terms of the h one b work visa program, trying to bring in, who knows how many millions of people from india? well, we've already flooded the american labor market and destroyed a low skill labor in the united states through immigration from latin america. so the united states doesn't really need more low skill immigration, and there isn't a huge pool of labor to draw on for that in latin america anymore. anyway, most of the people who wanted to get into the united states already have but who has not gotten into the united states. it's people who could take on sort of tech roles and middle the middle income, middle wage, middle class positions, particularly the sorts of jobs that the h one b visa program would allow. so the business of leads of the united states are going to now use the trump administration in order to do massively increase the number

american children overwhelmingly say that they are not proud to be americans. there was a poll that came out in 2013 in which americans under the age of 35 were asked, are you proud of the united states of america? 85% said yes. the same poll taken five months ago, 18% said yes. so somehow in the administration, the last two presidents, this young generation has completely lost in our country, and they've lost hope in their own futures. now is the time to restore that hope that admiration, that pride and respect. the only way to do that is to return to the founding spirit of our country, a return to the spirit that animated the declaration of independence and the bill of rights. if we're faithful to those, we will regain our pride as a nation or regain our prosperity over again the respect of the world and regain our self-respect. we gain self esteem by doing self by doing estimable things. and that means complying with our own constitution. above all, in the summer of 2020, i the height of the pandemic. i to berlin. to speak to a group about 1.3 million people

the american confidence and american economy has surged to the highest in history. it's good to know where the smart business people in the world are investing. that panama canal expensive structure. they died from malaria unable stopped and paid will five times more and many of them died. they charge more for navy than navies of other country. they laugh us because they think we are stupid but not anymore so the panama canal is under discussion right now. they morally violated it. it's leaking and got in good repair china is basically taking it over and running the panama now and they come to see this biden, the stack should never have been not allowed to run for president. million dollars a ship and they took it away from us and they come to the united states. those days are over with the republican majorities in congress will have taxes, raise wages and income in a way the world has not seen before. the beautiful words made in the usa. those other things. it is very unfair. i have so many great friends and one of them is a great one. he said going to run for prim

carrying forward heart, hard work and the american people. those here before our founding, those born generations later who immigrated here seeking the blessings of america , there is another great president we miss, i miss, jimmy carter. may we all try to measure up to his highest standard of active citizenship in our time. the highest standard set by men and women we celebrate here today. for the final time as president, i have the privilege of bestowing the presidential citizens metal. , one of our nation's highest honors on an extraordinary group of americans who perform exemplary deeds of service for their country and to their fellow citizens. over 50 years, presidents of both parties have awarded this metal to americans who have met that high calling. diplomats and doctors, conservationists, community organizers, philanthropists, state leaders. i been are to present law enforcement officers who defended our capitol on january 6 and state and local elected officials, today we celebrate a new group of americans, dedicated their careers to

americans and vintage -- americans invented these computer chips. when the pandemic hit, we found out how vulnerable america was. prices soared. it takes over 3000 of these computer chips to build an automobile today and went overseas factories making those chips shut down the production stopped in the cost of nuclear sword. did not have to be this way. i was determined to change that and that's what we have done with the chips and science act which has attracted $350 billion, including for korea, taiwan and other countries. these investments are building new fabs, massive chip factories the size of several football fields. on fields all across america creating so far 125,000 jobs which ultimately creates tens of thousands more jobs. these jobs are paying over $100,000 a year and you don't need a college degree. these investments are creating opportunities for entire communities for small businesses to grade even more jobs. when they build these factories that will find out they will need trucks and shops and restaurants and everything grows. when f

the american people. we are here ready to fight for the american people. we are here to fight for the working class of this country. we are here to build ladders of opportunity to the middle class. democrats are not a monolith, we come from many different states, have many different opinions. but, we grew up in places as varied as brooklyn, new york and atlanta, georgia. we are from the west coast, the east coast, the industrial midwest and everywhere in between. and we sometimes disagree. but democrats are united, fiercely united, when it comes to fighting for working americans, for working families. in the months and years to come, democrats will show where our values live through our actions and words and through the policies we push in this chamber. democrats are here to tackle the biggest problems that face our country. democrats are here because we need to make housing more affordable, for the millions struggling to keep a roof over their heads. we need to make sure americans are earning higher paychecks, keep more of their paychecks too. democrats a

american intelligence agencies operating within the united states against americans. and the fbi had a criminal law enforcement responsibility, and it was focused on terrorism primarily as a criminal act. then came 9/11. and people understood that the firewall between the intelligence community looking outward and the fbi only looking at criminal matters inward was a failed prescription. and that we needed to coordinate better. we needed to take down the firewall, make sure that the fbi knew where its lanes were, the intelligence committee knew where its lanes were, and it was actually a very successful shift and a very important development in the response to 9/11. and to be completely unaware of that and to think that the fbi has no proper role -- what does he think the cia should come in and start doing the fbi's work in the united states? or we just stop looking at terrorism preventively? we just look at it when a crime takes place and go investigate? it makes absolutely no sense. and if you know the history of the last couple of decades, it makes even less sense.

america, american power. it would be resented and sooner or later and overthrown if it served only ends. american power would be accepted and reinforced by allies. if that power contributed to the welfare of others, americans and their partners and would achieve collective security or they would enjoy no security at all. this is a lesson that the americans in the 1940s learned through pain that they sought to teach to the next generation. that the americans of the postwar struggled to apply and the americans of the 2020s are once again arguing over. woodrow wilson gained fame in the first place. as an educator, his greatest contribution as president was educational to he himself was unable live the lesson he taught. that happens often enough in education, and it does not detract from the truth power of the lesson. woodrow wilson wrote more memorable phrases than any president after abraham lincoln. to my mind the most important phrase to clark, his typewriter was this from war message of april 1917, the world
