i'd like to i'd like to go to to godfrey's point about woodrow wilson the united states it was a result of world war two one that the united states came out as a pretty predominant power but it was not wilson campaigned about keeping neutral there was a huge debate united states we weren't prepared and it was a tragic result of the ravages of world war one on europe and the united states did come out as a more dominant power relative to the destruction of europe after world war one but look what happened after world war one look what happened after world war two the united states' role in rebuilding other countries other former enemies was specific and peter i think i think obviously we should all learn more about history but i would say that the policymakers in the united states who thought about the importance of protecting the sovereignty of russia's neighbors who thought about the importance of nato enlargement knew well the massive contribution of the citizens of the soviet union during world war two and knew well of the ravages that stalin brought on russia's neighbors afterwards

he knew woodrow wilson to the college program professor. afterwards and he became a minister. he actually went to work in the tenement on spring street friend across the island where he was exposed to some pretty extreme degradation although that isn't really what radicalize tim and that is very much the social gospel movement which held basically that the point of christianity was to establish the kingdom of god on earth and this is very much remind protestant thinking. so tons of young men coming out of, you know, the middle class and they were obligated to make the world a better place. he then went to the seminary,

the region south of the brenner pass that, as we like to say in austria, due to woodrow wilson became italian. so woodrow wilson is a president that's still not very much love inside austria because we lost the region as a result of him we say. [laughter] so he continued to work at that region as an archivist and then began his work on the book he is going to present to us tonight which was -- [speaking german] that postdoctoral thesis that a person who wants to become a professor in the german-speaking world needs to do. and he finished that and publish bed a book out of -- published a book out of it which was the traveling version of the book that was just now published by oxford university press in be english and is already getting rave reviews in publications like "the wall street journal" and "the statesman." he has been a fellow at the u.s. holocaust museum. this past year he was a fellow at harvard university at the center of the european studies there. this is one of the most distinguished fellowships that an us austrian can hold in the united states, i think comparable to a r

um, certainly if you go back to his tenure as assistant secretary of the navy under woodrow wilson, um, he was a constant promoter of -- which is an interesting innocent incidens life because the president, wilson, was a kind of diffident person as far as foreign relations were concerned. he felt that the united states should refrain from interfering in foreign affairs. he department think that we thought that -- he didn't think that we thought that we should be very restrained in our use of american power. roosevelt -- wilson's secretary of state, william jennings bryan, was a pacifist who really was a pose today the exercise of american power, resigned because he thought the wilson administration was getting too belligerent by 1915. fdr's immediate boss was a will sewn yang and a disciple of bryan's who looked upon the uniform navy with kind of bemused suspicion. he was always reluctant to use the navy in any way. and, of course; this was all anathema to franklin roosevelt who spent his entire eight years as assistant secretary very, in that wonderful way of his, very charmingly but

i never thought of fdr as much of writer, not compared to the doctor roosevelt or woodrow wilson or various world leaders, such as winston churchill or lenin. before i could think more about the question, there came my boxes, and so i put away the thought in the back of my health but fast forward several months. in the meantime, i dropped my dissertation, taken a leave of absence from school and started work at the legal assistance as a law firm. at one point the editor0s a journal, invited know write an article about franklin roosevelt for the journal. i didn't want to use my abandoned disdissertation and had little time for research. so i thought i would take up franklin roosevelt's write to see what he had written before he was president. so i ordered copies of the article from the fining aids of fdr's writings, especially from the 1920s when he was in private life and trying to recover and had used writing as a kind of therapy for himself. when i read the airlines discovered to my great surprise that fdr hat written several pieces on diplomatic relations between the united states and ja

he broke with woodrow wilson. he broke with the tiara for the new deal. he was more of a libertarian and many people will say that once you got into the 20th century whose time had passed and he was living this 19th century liberal and the 20th century. so for that reason and others, they didn't want someone to be the champion on something like evolution. i think that lippman probably would have felt the same way. darrow was a very common man. there are letters in which people talk about the fact that he had dirty fingernails and egg on his ties and the always look like he is slept in a suit. i just don't see that dorta fitting in well with the kind of intellectual liberals that lippman represented. >> thank you. >> sure. >> do you have one? >> i have one. jack can repeat it. i seem to be the very odd man out in this gathering. my history is, i came to birth in an era and a time where, if you didn't have a ph.d. in science, you were doomed to be a lowbrow and a ne'er-do-well. so, notwithstanding the fact that i liked like to literature and so one, my dear

he broke with woodrow wilson and he broke with fdr over the new deal. he was more of a libertarian and many people would say that once you got into the 20th century his time was passed and he was living in this 19th century liberalism in the 20th century. and so for that reason and others come the didn't want darrow to be the champion, something like evolution. and i think that wittman probably would have felt the same way. darrow was a very common man. there's letters in which people talk about the fact that he had dirty fingernails and egg on his tie and always looked like he t don't see that sort of fitting in well with the kind of intellectual liberalism that he represented. >> all the questions -- >> you have one? >> well, i have one. >> jack can repeat it. >> i seem to be the very odd man out in this gathering. my history is i came to -- came to berth in an era and a time if you didn't have a ph.d. in science, you were doomed to be a lowbrow. so, notwithstanding the fact that i liked literature and so on, my parents forced me into a science career

so you think of woodrow wilson's showdown over the league of nations in 1919 and 1920 or maybe franklinoosevelt's showdown over his court packing plan in 1937. but in both of those cases, you had a white house that was putting forth something really bold, something adventurous, something untried, and then running into opposition. and what's really remarkable about this moment, and i think fairly hard to find a precedent for is that this wasn't actually about anything new. this was about a set of decisions that had already been made about how money was going to be spent, raise the debt ceiling at its heart. that's really what we are talking about. it was also about a set of future decisions that might be made that to some degree congress went ahead and made but that for the most part had been made. so it wasn't a response to some brand-new initiative. it was looking to the past, looking to the future, and that's a very strange situation which suggests that this is really primarily about a struggle for power as opposed to really about the substance of what's going on. >> woodruff: david k

joining me now former california congresswoman jane harman who is now president of the woodrow wilsonenter for scholars. did i get that all right? >> yes, you did. >> we heard richard engel report about the rixos hotel, a lot of journalists in there right now. how dangerous is this situation right now? a lot of people are saying we took out gadhafi and let's move on. >> first of all, engle is such a courageous reporter phoning in stuff from the war theater here with bullets ricocheting off all the walls. we don't know. i mean, this could be nothing, or it could be a richard pearl-type situation and these people could be either swapped or some ghoulish end. and i don't want to predict anything because we don't know how this ends. how this ends matters, though, chris. >> yeah. >> i think the goal would be to capture gadhafi and his sons alive and for them to go to the hague for a world-watched trial for war crimes. that's the right ending here. not to find them in a foxhole. not to have some spectacular demise which is what i predict at the moment, but if the libyans could in my view st

the woodrow wilson center is the memorial to former president woodrow wilson and was established in 1968 and the reason is to bring ideas and policy together so this is a good example of that, bringing significant american policy figure, u.s. ambassador to the democratic republic of congo to interact with you and the public. the public's fear. that the arab spring turned into summer and libya slips further into chaos and egypt is on tenterhooks iraq and afghanistan visit sustained challenges with freestanding democracies. south sudan is fraught with questions of violence and even london facing rioting and mayhem. not much space in the media or consciousness for another crisis or conflict. yet one other country that was long off the world rate our garner's attention mostly focused on gender based violence that is occurring and illegal exploitation of minerals in western markets that allows certain militias and bandits and soldiers to operate freely. that country is the democratic republic of congo. the world's attention turns to the elections in november in that country because they are s

if you want words to capture this attitude, you cannot do better than when woodrow wilson. political formulas do not fit the current problems. we need to get beyond the declaration of independence. that document did not mention the problems of our day. it is of no consequence to us, and a great opponent to this was calvin coolidge, who said, if anyone wishes to deny their truth or soundness, the only direction he can proceed historical is backwards to the time when there was no e. quality, no rights of the individual, regional equality, no rights of individual. -- when there was no equality, no rights of individual. you cannot have a lively commercial society if profit- making is nullified. you cannot have people getting ahead on their own if the important virtues like marriage and self discipline and work are washing away, and you cannot have labor have the dignity it deserves if you have people on the right and left saying there are jobs americans will not do, so i think we are in a monumental conflict in this country. i think we need a linkedin or -- or reaganesque reviv

you want a perfect statement that captures this attitude, you can't do better than president woodrow wilsonold political formulas do not fit the present problems. they read now like documents taken out of a forgotten age. we need to get beyond the declaration of independence. that document did not mention the questions of our day, it is of no consequence to us. and a greatly post to this was -- a great riposte to this was calvin coolidge who said, if anyone wishes to deny truth or soundness, the only way to proceed is not forward but backwards to a time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. so the founding -- the principles of our founders are still under threat. the value of individual advancement is under real threat in this country, you can't have a lively commercial society if profit make is vilified and intervises are -- enterprises are taxed and regulated to a standstill. you can't have people getting ahead on their own if important virtues like marriage and self-discipline and work are washing away and you can't have labor in the sense of act

i was working closely with congressman jane harman before she retired to go to woodrow wilson institute. for a year repeatedly written the administration urging them to implement this proposal. they have not. i urge your support of this legislation and saying you for the opportunity to testify. i strongly believe your hearings will provide congress with a starting point for a new dialogue about fighting extremism and radicalization. we cannot afford to be silent. i am reminded of a song by simon and garfunkel, the box. a man here is what he wants to hear but disregards the rest. we cannot disregard the issue of radicalization in our country. your hearings provide a productive forum for a much needed dialogue about domestic radicalization and i want to thank you for your leadership. >> thank you, chairman wolf. the panel is dismissed. [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [silence] >> let me thank each of the witnesses for being here today and giving us their valuable time. it is essential as we go forward. i look forward to the testimony. first witness today, dr. jesser is

i was fascinated with woodrow wilson, mainly because of him having a stroke and his wife hid it from the press and congress from three months. i just felt that was fascinating. but the one that really -- that really, really, i think, gripped me more than anything else was the warren harding one, because i couldn't believe that somebody that was such a goofy guy, he was not right at all, elected to the white house, he used to try to talk to him about the tax code. he said i don't understand anything about taxes. don't talk to me about that. the only thing that he was interested in is how many women a night he could bed in the white house. and there's an old saying that the difference between harding and wilson was that wilson liked the brothels of paris, and harding like the whore houses of columbia, ohio. i think there was a lot of truth in that. one thing i want to say about harding was that, you know, when he was picked to run for the senate because at a picnic north of columbia, they see him leaving an outhouse. the two political optives, isn't he a handsome looking man? he would

woodrow wilson said that old problems cannot capture what we have currently.hat we need to get beyond the declaration of independence. that it was of no consequence to us. a great proponent of this was calvin coolidge, who said that if anyone wishes to deny their truth or soundness, the only direction they can proceed is back words toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no will love the people. the principles of the founders are still under arrest. the value of individual advancements is under real threat in this country. we cannot have a lively, a commercial society of profit makers. you cannot have people getting ahead on their own if the important virtues, like marriage, self discipline, and work are washing away. you cannot have labor in the sense of actual work if people on the right and left are saying that there are jobs that americans will not do. we are in a monumental conflict in this country. i think that we need a lincoln- ask, reagan-asked revival in this country. i agree with what this market says. i have seen al
