mr. wilson. he was sort after favorite of mind to talk about, because i think we all can identify with him. he wasn't quite sure why he came. his wife told him to come. but when you got to know him, he was dealing with issues all of us was dealing with. he was dealing with a child. he was dealing with work. he was dealing with finances. and. as far as his child was concerned and both he and his wife loved this girl dearly. she was having a lot of problems. she got into drugs. she got into alcohol. she was cutting herself. she was depressed. she and his wife were debating what to do. lisa capturedded it, my coauthor said, they kept revisiting the same issues. all of us can identify, you get stuck in the loops. as you got to know mr. wilson, there were other features about him as well. you could tell he had an anger problem. sometimes at work, it is hard with my boss. he is that kind of a guy. he is micromanager. i got into it with him. probably shouldn't have. but he reserved it. not too many sess

mrs. wilson's eyes first. >> what access did you have that other biographers did not have? when he spent 13 years on a book, even when hundred years after wilson's presidency, amazingly new papers began to surface. i got access to two wonderfully personal cachet's of paper. one came forth when wilson surviving grandson died. they found trunks of papers from the grandson's mother. there are thousands of personal letters and wilson to the daughter and a daughter to the husband. they were all talking about woodrow wilson. a lot of things flushed him out. a second cash surfaced when woodrow wilson's most intimate friend and dr. -- doctor when his last son died. they found trunks of his papers. he kept meticulous notes. >> did he introduce wilson to his second wife? >> he did. yes, he set them up. he did it in a very clever way without letting either of them know it was a set up. >> some of the criticism? >> i definitely think he was a racist because he was. if we go back 100 years to 1913 and examine where washington, d.c., was, i would say he was a centrist in his day. he did

and during that period, as i tried to trace in the book, you see the rise of mrs. wilson rather uneducated, politically unsavvy, no lady macbeth but she really does function as many have said, the first woman president of the united states. >> how did she handle the job? >> well, she handled the job as she would tell you, as a steward. she said she did nothing her husband would not have done. and in essence i think she really served a little more as a chief of staff. but for months and ultimately really more than a year and a half, virtually nobody saw woodrow wilson during his second term, the last year and a half of his office. and any document that had to go before the president had to pass before mrs. wilson's eyes first. >> speaking of that, what access to what information did you have that other buy og fear-- biographers did not have. >> i was given access to two wonderfulfully personal caches of papers. one came forth when wilson's last surviving grandson died. and in going through his house and effects they found trunks of papers from the grandson's mother that is

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. the gentleman is recognized. mr. wilson: mr. speaker, in last week's "washington post," a columnist said beyond the strategy's half-hearted substance, obama's reluctance and apple biff lens are obvious. this is a man driven to give the speech by public opinion. it shifted radically with the televised beheading of two americans. every poll shows the americans overwhelmingly want something to be done, someone to lead the doing, end of quote. isil's conquest in iraq and syria is the consequence of the administration's failed policies that do not achieve peace through strength. the president ignored evidence of increasing terrorist safe havens across north africa, middle east, central asia as the southern border is now porous. the united states must effectively defeat isil to stop attacks on american families. i hope the presiden

mr. wilson. >> thank you, mr. chairman, secretary for being here today.ver the weekend, the president promised that as we defeat isil, there would be no more mistakes. i look forward to working with you to avoid his mistakes. the obama mistake of underestimating isil as junior jarsty, jv. we know that 16 months ago as the president was underestimating the terrorist threat and saying it was diminished that that was not true. the american enterprise institute released a map showing in warning of the growing terrorist threat across north africa, middle east and central asia. and this was ignored by this administration. the obama mistake of failing to secure a basic security agreement undermining the achievements of the allied service members who promoted freedom in iraq and i particularly appreciate that i had two sons serve in iraq and working with the people of iraq to preserve their freedom. the obama mistake of a sequestration, downsizing our military as jihadists expand their safe havens across the world to attack the american families. the obama mistak

mr. wilson: madam speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. wilson: madam speaker, a , the go last june president ignored these signs and underestimated the strength of the blood thirsty terrorists. this has led to mass murder of opposing muslims and american journalists. according to a recent article in "the washington times" after the u.s. exited iraq, quote, it took six weeks for al qaeda fighters to start pouring into iraq to attack the new government. and now the islamic state, known as the initials isis and isil. the president has been negligent for the past 2 1/2 years as isis fought to seek control of the country which which liberated with our military, including two of my sons and a martyred staff member. radical islamist terrorists must be confronted and defeated to protect american families at home and those abroad. in conclusion, god bless our troops and the president should never forget september 11 and the global war on terrorism. we need

wilson: mr. speaker, while the world and mainstream media focuses on other world events, the boko haram terrorists continue to bomb, pillage, rape and behead innocent men, women and even children in nigeria. yesterday i met with some of the girls who bravely escaped from their captors. as the girls relived their nightmare, a trauma of this experience was visible on their faces. i reassured them that congress has not forgotten them and that i will be reintroducing legislation to help safely return their friends and family members and to eradicate boko haram. mr. speaker, when i visited nigeria a young woman told me that boko haram beheaded her husband and put his head on the bed next to her as they raped her. mr. speaker, boko haram is using kidnapped girls as suicide bombers. boko haram is beheading men, women and children. let me repeat, and children. they must be stopped. tweet today, #bringbackourgirls and #joinrepwilson. tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet. tweet all day. tweet all night. tweet all we

congressman joe wilson of south carolina just asked mr. kerry whether america is actually at war. the secretary was not able to give a direct answer. meantime, defense secretary chuck hagel fielding questions from the house armed services committee ahead of a key vote in the senate on whether to phone the president's request to arm and train rebels in the fight against the terror group. all this as critics are raising serious new concerns about all the mixed messages from the administration after a long list of military professionals have now said we can not rule out american ground troops to get the job done. >> i don't believe the objective is destroy. i think the objective is morphed into something less than that from the president's speech a week ago. i think it's more degrade and dismantle. because of the actions and decisions he is making about the military plan. >> what's the best way forward? >> time for real talk with kimberly, the institute of the study of war. great to have you on the show, and i do you and your husband were the key architects for the surge in iraq. you

wilson's attorney general. saying that senator harding appears to be having an affair with mrs.illips and that there are all these allegations about her being a spy. it goes all the way to the attorney general. the head of what was called the bureau of investigation -- this is pre-j. edgar hoover. he says we think we can get jim phillips based on what he said to under cover agents that was pro-german and we are in the wrong war, the germans are going to beat us, etc. wilson bit off more than he could chew. he spoke to undercover agents. we believe we can get him once we pass this act which prohibited speaking against the war in any form. you talk about free speech. a memo goes to the attorney general. the authorities know about it from the local people who have told them about it. they even talk about senator harding being caught in a compromising position with mrs. phillips in a local town. they very much know about it. they walked very gingerly. my question was when i wrote my book and i write at the end of it, why didn't they use it in the 1920 campaign when they knew about i

mr. congressman from south carolina by the name of joe wilson who was attending a joint session of the house and senate yelled out during a presidential address, you've lied, you lied. it was an attack on the presidency and it was an attack on president obama. he was rewarded with a nine-point victory in a war chest of untold proportions generated by what he did. in march of 2010, tea party at this came to town and state on congressman emanuel cleaver, raised racial epithets at john lewis and other members and argued that this is really a free exercise of their rights to express their views. i mention all this for the following reason. this is a concerted effort to subvert the presidency. it began on the night of his first election. for black voters do respond in 2010 house we responded in 2008 cost us everything. we lost control of state houses. we lost control of our ability to set the state agenda and we are still paying the price. >> with all of that -- >> what we do? >> i would love if we could put up the slide that shows some of the black voter turnout invariants is between 20 times an
