so this is a real transformation that took place in the early 20th century at which theodore rooseveltand woodrow wilson were really partners in which although they were rivals. they were also partners in working in a similar kind of direction. entrance of domestic, probably the most important single thing that wilson did was to create the federal reserve system, which was to create a banking system that would allow money to be moved around the country and finances to be controlled by the government in ways that they've not been before. and that was a way of modernizing the economy so that when the crisis took place in san francisco, for example, it didn't necessarily bring down the rest of the country. resources to be mobilized and brought to where they needed across the country. money could be moved from one side of the country to the other, or even around the world. all of this was a system which had not existed before. there have been a series of independent tags, uniting him and bring them together so that work together. so that was a major breakthrough. wilson also pushed through

did you know that the teddy bear is named after theodore roosevelt? they could not find any bears. then someone capture the wounded youngbear and proposed freeing it to let tea are hunted. instead, he added quickly put out of its misery. a jewish woman who ran a toy store read about this compassionate act and made it toward bear and put it in her store window. it was a tremendous success. then she asked if she could name it after him. he agreed, and the teddy bear was born. it was even used as the republican symbol in the 1904 presidential campaign. as an example of his generosity after winning the nobel peace prize, he gave 10 percent of it or $4,000 to the jewish welfare board. during world war one his friend, colonel patterson, an irishman in the british army who had been a famous lion hunter, there was a film made about his early life called the ghost in the darkness to my belief. patterson led the jewish legion to victory against the turks in palestine and were one. the newly created legion was the first organized jewish fighting force in 2000 years. a volunteer force composed

as far back as theodore roosevelt we acknowledge the need to provide our citizens with a health care system that puts their health before industry profits, and has good outcomes as other parts of the world provide for their citizens. and we need to treat health care as a right not a privilege for the lucky few. now under the leadership of democrat congress, we managed to realize at long last this long awaited goal by passing the affordable care act through an open, deliberative, thorough legislative process. from reducing our nation's health care spending, to expanding the health care to millions of americans who could not afford it, the affordable health care is succeeding. it is in this light that the majority's 37th vote in 41 months to repeal health care should be judged. it's hard to judge that politically driven vote is anything other than a disservice to the american people, a waste of taxpaye ar ne a way to spread misinformation. i urge my colleagues to reject today's rule and the underlying legislation. and i reaffirm my pride in supporting a law that is already helping to s
