>> mainly because most biographies are named either wilson or woodrow wilson. [laughter] i wanted to do something different. i thought long and hard about this. i want to find something i thought was a central quality in wilson's character. i am a student of character more than a presidential historian. i thought long and hard about it, read all his stuff, and moral concerns are front and center. that was why i chose that. >> wilson is born in virginia. we consider him a southern president. he spent time in augusta, georgia. he was born in 1858, before the civil war. what was his childhood like? how did that time in the south influence him? >> he had a vivid childhood memories of the civil war. his father was a pastor in augusta. the church was sometimes a stockade for union prisoners. the churchyard, i mean. the church itself was sometimes a clinic for wounded confederate soldiers. he was aware of all these things. his father was a chaplain in the confederate army. when they moved to columbia, a few years after the war, columbia was the last city burned by gen

which it was, with woodrow wilson. also pictures the opposition, possibly excluding -- who was unforgiving of the man who deprived him of his third term. but lodge gets full and fair treatment. and then in paris, after the war, also, are treated will. it is hard not to admire a guy wwho, after, wilson released 1 points, said, in god only -- [laughter] the real problem of course is not the number of points are and do the impossible idealism but the attempt to sell the inevitable compromises, vengeance and power of politics. at the peace conference. it's a legitimate offspring of idealism. in the opponents is a rational self interested in ultimately agents of darkness. to do that will take a larger step backwards of any american president into two most important ways, race relations and civil liberties. and yet, john lucas may still be right. remember that harry truman, our president, of course, who may have been in one or two or even all three of the audiences in the three kansas city speeches i mentioned, and harry, ha

wilson, they think internationalism is a very sorry substitute for nationalism but wilson, this is aquote, the greatest nationalist is the man who wants his nation to be the greatest nation in the greatest nation is the nation which penetrates among the nations of the world. that is a very grand ambition. according to wilson, you couldn't be a good nationalists unless you were a good internationalist. you had to have the fate of the world on your side. they find himself in the fight of his life and he goes off on the speaking tour of the country, they had always worked for him in the past, and he thanks i'm going to get the people all excited about the league of nations, they will write their senators and the senate will actually have to pass this treaty, but americans didn't really feel that way. there were much more inclined by the argument which was, for a hundred plus years we've been on our own, we've thrived, we've grown prosperous, were democratic, why should we risk this for something that has not been tried so wilson comes home, he collapsed on his tour and he came home in a

wilson responded with a lawsuit.eeling between when you're shooting a gun and uploading the blueprint for how to make one? >> posting guns to the internet, my goodness. in these terms, knowing attorneys general will sue, nothing beats it. >> that's where the rush is for you? >> nothing beats it. >> first amendment issue? or second amendment? >> it's both. the way this had to be fought for years in court was on a first amendment claim. >> if a gun is a piece of data, then are you allowed to share it and call that free speech? that is the argument that defense distributed has been making for the last three years. >> reporter: "wired" writer andy greenberg has been covering wilson and the do it yourself gun debate since 2013. >> all the headlines are about 3d precipitated guns. for defense distributed, 3d printing is a stand-in for any digital tool that allows you to with a download and a click create a gun component at home. >> this is your 3d printer here? ait's kind of a relic. >> this is what you made the liberator

we need to discuss not just wilson, but everybody.we are very good at putting people into categories and we discovered that all good guy isn't all good. but i don't think the greatness polls, i'm very interested in them, but i think that, you know, if we're measuring consequential presidents instead of great president, that wilson would always be in the top four mainly because of when he was president. he was president at this moment when the world really changed and he had a big impact on that. you think of them as a great president. >> thank you. >> two very quick questions in terms of modern politicians, is everyone considered to be similar to president wilson. that's question one. in terms of unmistakable words you put them? [inaudible] [laughter] will sin i think in terms of honesty and integrity would be unfair by washington. you know, with when you're setting yourself up as a moral leader, it's very easy to be accused. you can fall short if you're going around. this is why you don't go around bragging about your morals because

stephen gutowski, who is cody wilson. he mentioned them a couple times. >> guest: cody wilson is a gun rights activist in austin, texas and he is basically a pioneer in 3-d printed guns. he developed the liberator, which was the world's first god made mostly from 3-d printed part and he did it as a proof of concept, but he's trying to show the intersection of new technology and gun rights in a way that he thinks is very meaningful and probably a little bit provocative. >> host: show our viewers to cody wilson is. he was on fox news yesterday talking about 3-d gun technology. here's a bit of what he had to say. >> to a certain degree, you are protectinge and saying are protecting and saying i'm just making information available. i'm not responsible for what people do once they gettre the information. but the fact is, cody, there are real-world consequences here. what if somebody takes your information, makes the gun and then goes out and kills someone, potentially god for dead kills a member of your family. would you have

wilson just had a stroke and the white house -- wilson had a stroke and the white house was closed and his wife was running the government. you can see wilson is a little disabled in this picture. i think this is the guy named joe cannon, speaker of the house. they are on their way to the inauguration. as i just told you, eugene debs gave the speech and this is a picture of debs in canton ohio. judge wells is here, a federal court judge. she took me through a tour of her chambers in the old courthouse, which is now the metro bond building, to tell me about how eugene debs was tried in this courtroom back in 1970. she brought all the files from the jury instructions and so forth. debs gave his own closing statement and gave a statement to the judge as he was being sentenced. he said it is a great, wonderful statement. i'm not going to get it exactly right but, as long as there is a lower class, i am part of it . as long as there is a criminal element, i am of it. as long as there is a person in prison, i am not free. it is remarkable stuff. he was a great leader and he ran for president

so here it is, wilson asks for war in april 2 in the evening. in his most famous line in that is the world must be made safe for democracy. that was the most important point he wanted to make. he invoked the russian revolution before he made that point. the senate took a couple of days .o approve it 5.went to the house on april the house spent all day talking about it. was met in washington with a couple of colleagues. in the evening, she went to the house and took her seat. as you can see, the house voted for war. spoiler alert. there were a couple of things that surprised me. house of three: 12:00 a.m. codes for war. in the modern digital age, no newspaper can have news from 3:12 in the morning. then the headline mentions miss rankin votes no and sobbing. been crying for three days and had no tears left. the focus was on her way 49 other members of the house also voted no. we are competing with the brass band. i will go quickly. what happened after that? alice paul was right. women were drawn into the factories of the country. we all know abou

wilson won only because of the split in the party. the guy who ends up running against woodrow wilson is not a popular candidate and he barely loses. he rarely loses. warren harding would have won. the second big headline of the book is she may have come and i believe she became a german spy during the first world war. . will show you the evidence i have written the book so that people can make up their own minds. i am a lawyer by profession, so i put the evidence out, you read it, come to your own conclusion about what you think. i'm convinced she became a german spy. i will show you why. the relationship starts in europed carrie goes to in 1911 to take her daughter to berlin, germany for schooling. not unusual in central ohio to have people go to germany. there were a lot of germans in central ohio. neither one of them could have foreseen what was going to happen. the relationship is already well along, almost 10 years along when this happens. this is the car where france ferdinand was assassinated in sarajevo along with his wife. t

five years ago wilson built the world's first fully fireable plastic handgun. but he's personally moved beyond plastic to machine-grade metal, funding his legal fight by selling thousands of these. a milling machine cape avl making unmarked metal ar-15s and handguns. aka ghost guns. there's now a three-month backlog for milling machines like this one which we found at central texas gunworks just down the road from where wilson makes them at his factory. wilson's goal now is to keep publishing digital gun files until every gun on earth is available to anyone online. jeff? >> tony dokoupil staying on this story tonight. tony, thank you. >>> we learned today of more accusations against leslie moonves, chairman and ceo of cbs corporation. the los angeles county district attorney's office says it considers filing criminal charges against moonves earlier this year but the statute of limitations had run out. the case involved accusations of sexual assaults in the late 1980s, while moonves was working at lorimar television. more on this now fromer reporteh l.a. coud.a.

the first one that made a lot of headlines, by cody wilson, his company distributed it in 2013. host: what do you need to make a 3-d printed gun? guest: it depends on what you're trying to do. there are different parts you can manufacture with it. you can make a lot of things with a 3-d printer but to make something that can withstand a cartridge going off, you really fairly expensive equipment. several thousand dollars worth of equipment, high-end 3-d printers. not the kind of thing you can buy for $150 online. you really need something substantial. host: how far along as the technology? guest: really, the gun he created, the liberator in 2013, it is a proof of concept, single shot firearm and it does not last long. you can only shoot a few shots through that. i'm not aware of any gun that has come along at that level of three printed material in it. it still has metal but most newer designs include a lot more but it ishe barrels always developing, certainly people around the world and the country are making their own designs as well. it is something that is continuing. host: w

the french minister famously said, wilson has 14 points. god has only 10.arger point being the europeans were not so much on board with the 14 points. that said, the treaty does create a league of nations, which is -- we have the kind of creation charter here, the covenant of league of nations in print, which is honestly a failure in the '20s and '30s. however, again, much like many of the other examples i've given, wilson's ideas may not have taken off immediately, but they do become what is the groundwork for the post-45 u.s. foreign policy. this idea of the league of nations is you could argue recreating the united nations after world war ii. wilson famously uses the term self-determination. he did not create that term. i could be incorrect but the british foreign minister had come up with it years earlier. but nonetheless, when he says that nations are deserving of self-determination, wilson had never intended it for people in asia and africa and certainly not for african-americans domestically, and yet once he puts that out into the world, it serves as

the family of nia wilson still clearly mourning her loss.ia wilson was killed on the flat form of the macarthur bart station last month in front of her two sisters. today, an attorney representing her family said john cowell, the man arrested for her killing, should never have been in the bart system in the first place and maybe boarded the train with wilson and her sisters. >> it turns out the perpetrator of this crime a derelict itinerant was in the car also. >> reporter: a public entity claim is the first step in a lawsuit. cowell, they say, was a known fare evader and had likely evaded paying his fare to enter the system the night of the killing. the family's attorney said today that fare evaders are far more likely to commit crimes than paying passengers. bart they say endangers all its passengers by allowing too many fare evaders to flood into the system. >> bart refuses to stop fare evaders, many of whom are criminals, at the turnstiles and that's what has to happen. >> reporter: bart said: >> reporter: attorneys for the wilson family

that, woodrow wilson acclaimed. wilson gave very high idealistic reasons why americans should join the war. many, many young american men were inspired by that and wanted to put themselves on the line. but as i was saying there's a male ego that i am a guy. i know what it's like of you need to be part of the team. if you are not part of the team and part of that group of guys who are doing, you know heroic things you are a sissy or you know inadequate as a male. so i think there was a lot of that psych long cal pressure as -- psychological pressure. >> chapter 6 to see or not to see and very different from one of the earlier pieces of artwork because of the canvass and the dark nature of the work by george bellos. explain. >> ace said earlier. he was one of the great american artist of the early 20th century. around 1908,1910 was hits great period e moved to new york different he -- he moved to new york and understood life on streets and went out on the votes and before that most american artist avoided the city it

a number of -- hundreds of belgian children wrote woodrow wilson thanking him for aid. these are some paper dolls sent to him in, i think, roughly 1915. you see the one with the kind of really cute stars and stripes. hopefully we can reproduce that for mass production soon. i'm sure it will be popular. and this is just kind of tying into, it's also worth noting that we often think of the war, again, as just being kind of european, but as you see, american campaign for relief in the near east. americans were trying to raise money for these groups who were struggling under the stress of the war internationally, and particularly in an area that will be part of the globe that is severely altered by the war, both with the collapse of the ottoman empire but also attempt business western powers to kind of recreate it in the image that they wanted, which is not necessarily the image that people in the middle east wanted. with that in mind, it's worth noting, well, what are we doing militarily. well, that's a good question because before the war starts, america is ranked dependi

what was president wilson's original intent? was that how we see a moderate peace-keeping mission or a democracy with the point of bayonet and how did the american army, the commanders interpret that when they got on the ground? did they know what the president actually wanted? >> great question. there are a couple of books about that but very briefly it was a classic case of mission creep. americans landed in northern european russia and which was a sea port where a lot of supplies have been coming into russia from the united states and from the other powers during the war. this initial idea of deployment there was to protect the stores in mer dmont to be from the germans. there was the bolshevik revolution in russia and the red army went up there. and i think i mentioned it was under british command. and they thought, you know, the reds can't last. all it's going to take is a little bit of push and it's going to go. we'll go do to arc and i gem and go down even further and help this effort. and the americans who were there rea
