monopoly on military economic, political, cultural, power and probably unprecedented since the roman empire around the world. and there were two problems. the first is that, president clinton and president bush 43, the second president bush, both had something of a wilsonian woodrow wilson stripe in them in that they thought the united states should use its power to bring democracy and improve the lives to people around the world. and president clinton tried it in somalia, and to a certain degree in haiti, and those were both failures. lessons that should've been learned by the bush ministration. and after the initial military successes in iraq and afghanistan, the bush ministration tried to do the same thing in terms of bringing a better life, bringing democracy and modern governments to both countries. and that was the problem. in the argument that i make in the book is that we had at the end of the cold war dismantled most of the nonmilitary instruments of power that the country helped. weather was diplomacy or the agency for international development, and the 1990s the united states inf

the roman empire relevant because most supporter of the president told the president to cross the rubiconferred to julius caesar turning rome into an empire. even our very first president, george washington, established the norm of a peaceful, orderly transition of power when he left the presidency after two terms. it appears some radicalized americans are no longer in favor of this democratic i've deal, that any interest in peaceful transition and fair elections are dubious at best. how do we return back to democracy? i'm joined by the author of "twi "twilight of democracy." ann, thank you for being with us. words matter when we're describing what has happened, this attack on democracy. some are worried about it being called a coup or insurrection but that is what it is. and both words are useful because they indicate the intent of both the professional tetest people who incited them. the intent was to prevent the transfer of power, the counting of the electoral votes and interrupt joe biden from becoming president. it's the culmination of something that began four years ago when donald

and the excruciating pain of chopping blocks rather than submit to certain unjust laws of the roman empire. to a degree, academic freedom is a reality today because socratese practiced civil disobedience. the boston tea party represented a passive act of civil disobedience. we should never forget that everything that adolph hitler did in germany was quote/unquote legal. and everything that the hungarian freedom fighters did in hungary was quote/unquote illegal. it was quote/unquote illegal to aid and comfort a jew in hitler's germany. even so, i am sure that had i lived in germany at the time, i would have aided and comforted my jewish brothers. if today i lived in a communist country where certain principles dear to the christian faith are suppressed, i would openly advocate disobeying that country's anti-religious laws. i must make two honest confessions to you, my christian and jewish brothers. first, i must confess that over the past few years i have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. i have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the negroes great stumbling bloc

so edward gibbon, who wrote six volume history of the decline and fall of roman empire, which is published the late 1700s and it was describing events that had happened a thousand years before and he was once asked, so what's -- what is the lasting significance of rome? and you know what he said? too soon to tell. well, but i can give you a date. a precise date on which it will be no longer too soon to tell. and that is election day 2020. and the reason i say this is that presidents who make a lasting mark on the american political system, who are elevated into the ranks of really important presidents are exclusively those presidents who get reelected. the presidents for whom voters have a chance to vote on their performance. presidents get elected the first time on the promise. and promise is one thing. you can be a persuasive promiser but it doesn't always pay off, and maybe you don't deliver on your promises. or you change your mind or something. so i'm not going to say that anybody can get elected on the promise, but you can get elected on promises and not follow through. you get reele

how the united states had gone from the position of supreme power, probably unrivaled since the roman empirery today beset by challenges everywhere and i thought about, how did that happen? how did did we get here. i began looking at all of the major foreign policy challenges we had since 1993 and thinking about what we had done and what we have not done that contributed to the decline in our role in the world and our power in the world. what i came up with was a set of nonmilitary instruments of power that we had ÃÃthat played such an important role in our success in the cold war against the soviet union had largely had been neglected and weathered after the end of the cold war at a time when we continued to fund our military we basically dismantled all of the nonmilitary instruments of power from diplomacy to economic leverage to strategic communications and more.we can go into that later. as i looked at the situations at these challenges from somalia and haiti in 1993 and others, right up to our relationship with russia and china today, north korea. it occurred to me that we had failed in
