. >> in 1917, after the urging of president woodrow wilson, the senate adopted a cloture rule. cloture is a motion to end debate. as adopted in 1917, it took 67 votes to end debate on an issue which means if 67 senators wanted a filibuster to end, they would pass cloture. in 1975, the votes needed for cloture were lowered to 60 votes. this is the threshold that is still used today. for a long period of u.s. history, the filibuster was a rarely used procedure. between 1840 and 1900, there were only 16 filibusters. the filibuster remained a rarely used procedure throughout most of the 20th century. during his time as majority leader, lyndon baines johnson faced only one filibuster. harry reid has faced more than 400. the silent filibuster is used when 41 or more senators merely threaten to filibuster. this is different from the talking filibuster in which one person takes turn talking for as long as he or she can without eating, drinking, or going to the bathroom. if you have been watching the news lately, you might've noticed that almost all bills are described as needing 60 vot

went across the street in athens and started the party and split the republican vote allowing woodrow wilson and very progressive democrats to become president of the united states was busted and 42% of the vote. so, we've been fighting that wing of the party ever since. sometimes our opponents look like teddy roosevelt. sometimes tom dewey when mixing or ford or bob dole or john mccain or mitt romney. but in today it is john boehner, eric cantor, mitch mcconnell, lamar alexander. fighting that wing of the party. and as i said earlier, the voters reject them. and only when they are faced with in opposition to the democrats is a limited government constitutional conservatives do we score big victories. this very weekend as a matter of fact, eric cantor, kevin mccarthy committee meeting at the ritz carlton in many island florida meeting with the mainstream partnership and their objectives in the mainstream partnership is to crush them everywhere that means us conservatives out to the mainstream partnership with eric cantor and parking are meaningless at this weekend are designed to crush conse

this weird idea that was hatched by president woodrow wilson. it was to make us safe for democracy, to make the world safe for democracy. well, that sounds great. i mean, what a noble cause we are marching off to make the world safe for democracy. but what does it mean for soldiers who didn't have democracy at home? that is what this book is about. in 1917, the united states sent over a group of its own soldiers and sets them up to fail. they gave them an adequate training. initially they didn't even give them uniforms. in fact they didn't even give their rifles to train with because they were too busy giving away to the private rifle clubs so they could improve their marksmanship made so then they could go fight a war. so this unit actually have to write to the american government pretending to be private rifle clubs to get their guns. this unit was then sent to train in the deep south in a tiny little town called spartanburg which wasn't what he would call the haven of racial brotherhood. as a matter of fact they were sent to train two weeks a

david is currently a vice president with the woodrow wilson center, and he joins me now.n senator mccain using pollard for what feels like a small development in the mideast peace process. it seems like a wasted use of a bargaining chip. what do you say? >> just a word of perspective for you, ronald reagan, h.w. bush, bill clinton and george w. bush, all forced with israeli entreaties to release pollard over the years. they all push for power. and the reality is these presidents have said no. said no on national security grounds. you mentioned, i was at wye river in '98, and tenet was quite emotional, and said it would undermine cia morale. clinton was basically inclined to do it. no u.s. president has done it. now we are hearing -- >> there does seem to be -- bush was sort of -- and clinton, and obviously president obama. you know, it would -- the idea that an israeli spy gets special treatment, that doesn't help american government, does it not? >> no, it makes us look weak, frankly, and desperate. the fact that pollard, an american jew, makes it even more complex. isra

this is a film you know, that woodrow wilson saw and never said a word about the racism because it was produced by a friend of his, and he went to college with what written a book called the clam. so i think in terms of the images, particularly in the past, if you look at the images of african-americans and to take asians, jews, arabs and others, and use birth of a nation as an example and to build on that, there's lots of similarities, particularly the political consequences that happened with the demonization process. >> i think there are of course a lot of different, differences in some of the ways that african-americans have been depicted but i think there's also a lot of connections that we often miss. so for instance, during world war ii, people who work zoot suit's and a lot of critics of americans can white supremacists were tagged as pro-japanese sympathizers, some of them actually did support japan's rhetoric against imperialism and against white supremacy, and a lot of that story has been sort of forgotten but that was used to then make african-americans who were advocating

another very bad symptom was the career of woodrow wilson who, i think, was very influential in changing the way americans think about politics and what politics should be about, and he changed it for the worse. we suffer today from the effects from both those events. c-span: i don't know how far we can get with this, but i'd like to try it. on the acknowledgements page, you list a lot of people and you just give their names. if you could give me a quick read on who they are. you say, "many people agreed to sit down and talk with me, including ken auletta." >> guest: a journalist in new york. c-span: why did you pick him? >> guest: he's written about wall street. c-span: martha bayles. >> guest: she's writing a book about rock 'n' roll, which is going to come out in a couple of years. c-span: why is that relevant? >> guest: well, it was just about the culture of the '60s, which was kind of a gaudy fulfillment of a lot of attacks on wasps, and people see that as the beginning of the end. i don't see it as the beginning of the end. i think the beginning of the end was much further back, bu

that i've read is that grace, like some other people who were elected with tammany support like woodrow wilsonn he was elect with the the support of new jersey's machine as governor of new jersey in 1910, takes the oath of office, and the first thing he says is, you know you guys, thanks for your support but don't come to me for any help because i'm now -- and grace basically told kelley don't come to me with a list of job seekers because, you know, i'm the mayor now. so i think that kelley thought that grace was ungrateful as charlie murphy would later accuse william sulzer, governor of new jersey elected in 1912, immediately says i'm my own man. i'm not going to appoint tahmany people. he was impeached. [laughter] the only governor of new york who was ever impeached. so grace frankly, grace was never a good fit for tammany. he was one of the richest people in new york. when he ran for mayor again in 1834 he ran basically as the candidate of the county democracy which was kind of the rich man's democratic party. and he won despite tammany's opposition. this is getting easy. it's right here. o

our first governor to receive an undergraduate degree from princeton since woodrow wilson in 1879, 70 years earlier. governor byrne received his law degree from harvard university in 1951. in the 1950's, as a young man, he served as a close aide to governor robert b. minor who appointed him essex county prosecutor in 1959. he was reappointed in 1964 and named him president of the state board of public utilities in 1968. respected by both political parties, he was appointed by republican governor william t. cahill to our superior court in 1970. he was overwhelmingly elected governor in 1973 and re-elected in an uphill political campaign in 1977. during his tenure, the pine lands protection act became law and casino hotel development began in atlantic city. impeccablely honest, he served as our governor with great distinction. his dry wit is a joy to hear and deeply appreciated by countless new jerseyans. he was honored to have -- new jerseyians. he was honored to have him as a professor in the early 1980's and recall fondly his superb teaching skills and generosity of spirit and time.

the story that i've read his grace, like some other people elected, like woodrow wilson when he was selected with the support of new jersey's regime takes the oath of office in the first thing he says is you know guys on the thank you or support, but don't come to me for any help. grace basically told kelley, don't come to me with a list of job seekers. so i think kelley thought grace was ungrateful as charlie murphy would later accuse the governor of new jersey and a tammany guide elect did in 1912 immediately sent by mail in. he was impeached. the only governor of new york ever impeached. so grace -- frankly grace is never a good friend for tammany. he was one of the richest people in new york. when he ran for mayor again in 1884, he ran as a candidate for the county democracy, which was kind of the rich man's democratic party and he won despite. if i'm ignoring you in fact, sorry. >> have you known me that long quick >> i've known you too long, franklin. i'd like your give on white tammany still existed how they accommodated themselves to john ray mitchell is ultimately. >> either a comic

maybe a little less than when the democrats are in office but let's go back to woodrow wilson in world war i. right after world war i the taxes were finally cut and we have the "roaring 20's." there were other problems that led to the great depression and i understand that of course but coming out of that we get to 1960 john kennedy in his famous detroit economic club speech about cutting taxes. there was a rush of new revenue because people were taking their money out of safe havens in bringing it back into the marketplace. as they say the book we have trillions of dollars sitting on the sidelines now. yes the stock market is at an all-time high especially for the hard-core unemployed and those looking for jobs for many months continue to be without work. people who won't work. we saw a slight uptick in the unemployment rate because more people are starting to look for work again and a slightly increased level of optimism. again calvin coolidge ,-com,-com ma i want people to be taxed less so they have more and when we have more money to spend we will spend it or invested and that is w

allowing woodrow will wilson, a progressive democrat, to become president of the united states. sometimes they look like roosevelt, nixon, ford, bob dole, john mccain, or mitt r romney. today it is mitch mcconnell and many others. we are fighting that wing of the party. the voters reject them. and only when the face is a limited government do we score big victories. this weekend, as a matter of fact, republican leaders, cantor and mccarthy are meeting at the ritz carlton in florida meeting with the mainstreet partnership and the objective is to, in mitch mcconnell's words, to crush them everywhere and that means us conservatives. so they are meeting with an organization to crush the party. the big government republicans understand the problem and they understand that we are their opponents. we hear in the press about the conservatives have lost ground, they are reached their high water mark, they are on the down hill now and tea party isn't what it used to be. the mainstreet republicans see this as growth to the government. we are doing well but we have a good ways to go. i reme

william pom rans is with the woodrow wilson center and joins us live from washington., sir. >> glad to be here. >> in your mind, are the russians winning the propaganda war? >> well, i think russia's propaganda war is primarily directed toward russians inside russia and those russian speakers on the ukrainian borders. in that sense, i think the propaganda war is having some impact. there is in russia itself strong support for putin's actions. i don't think putin is winning the propaganda war outside those regions. >> it's important he win the propaganda war in those regions. i'll give you one example of why it seems that russia is once again the propaganda master, so to speak. you go to prime minister dmitry medvedev's facebook page, he writes on the page or someone for him writes on the page, bloos has been spilled in ukraine. medvedev goes on to say he's urging ukrainians to decide their own future without imposter rouse nationalists and bandits, without tanks and armored vehicles and without secret visits by the cia director which is kind of unbelievable since russi

woodrow wilson's presidency two terms, ended in despair. he had two or three strokes in the final 18 to 24 months of his presidency. go after reagan. george h.w. bush got elected in 1988 largely because, as anybody in here over 30 would remember, largely because it was the best people could do, they taught, to get a third term of reagan. right? he won one term. that was it. he lost in 1992 to bill clinton. clinton wins with 43% of the vote. roughly. that was it. because of the third party candidacy of who? ross perot. clinton in '96 didn't get over 50% of the vote. 2000, george w. bush gets in without even winning a majority of votes. and then 2004, the second bush term, bush leaves office, bush around 2007 had the worst gallup approval up numbers since any president since harry truman. obama wins in 2008. 2012, obama actually is the first president in history, though he was the first democrat, i believe, since lbj to get over 50% of the vote, but in 2012 he was elected with -- first president to do this -- elected with less popular votes a

we take a step back, there was this thing after world war i called the league of nations that woodrow wilson created. and it got off to a bad start because the united states never actually ratified the treaty to join the united nations. so this organization, which was the precursor to our current-day united nations, never really got off the ground. and was unable to prevent another war like world war i. there was a big crisis in the 1930s when italy, fascist italy invaded ethiopia, and the league of nations was incapable of doing anything. basically fell apart. so after world world war ii, or, rather, during world war ii franklin delano roosevelt came up with the idea for a new and better international organization that would keep the peace, and it would have at the center of it the big powers; the united states, the soviet union, britain. and at one point he thought about having brazil in there, france was included later as a sort of core member of this thing. so the idea was to prevent another world war ii, to make sure it never happened again, because the big powers would be in charge of,

we take a step back, there was this thing after world war i called the league of nations that woodrow wilson created. it got off to a bad start because the u.s. never actually ratified the treaty to join the united nations. organization, which was the precursor to our current day united nations, never really got off the ground. and was unable to prevent like world war i. there was a big crisis in the 1930's when fascist italy invaded ethiopia. league of nations was incapable of doing anything. it basically fell apart. after world war ii, during world war ii, franklin delano roosevelt came up with the idea for a new and better international organization that would keep the peace. it would have at the center of it the big powers -- the u.s., save the union, britain. at one point he thought about having brazil, france was included later as a core member. to prevent another world war ii. to make sure it never happened again because the big powers would be in charge of basically policing the world. things have evolved, but franklin roosevelt was not alive to see the fruits of his labors and try t

here to discuss the crisis is deputy director at the woodrow wilson center joining us from washington this morning. thank you for being with us. >> let's first talk about this development. ukraine's acting penalty today extended an olive branch of sorts to the protestors saying it would not prosecute pro russian separatists if they left the buildings. would you expect this to help dial down this crisis? >> well, one hopes that it does, it's unclear whether the protestors inside the buildings will take this olive branch. i think they are trying to have a much more strong response to what's going on in ukraine. i think they want to make their protests more stronger and show exactly why they disagree with kiev and the direction the country is going. while one hopes the crisis is dialed down, i'm not 100% convinced to the separate activities and protestors inside the building will accept this offering. >> do we have a better idea of who the separatists and protestors are? the white house accused moscow of directly funding and orchestrating and organizing these activists. is there evidence

and in 1916 with woodrow wilson in the white house, wrigley became home of the chicago cubs.those days, the mascot was a live bear. >> lined just to center. >> reporter: it was at wrigley in 1932 where babe ruth called his famous shot. >> down center field. i said, the next pitch ball, right past the flag pole. >> reporter: wrigley field didn't even exist when the cubs last won a world series in 1908. superstitious types blame the 106-year championship drought on a curse put in place during the team's last world series appearance in 1945. >> according to legend for just a ticket for his goat, and the goat was excluded for entrance. wasn't allowed to enter the stadium. soap he cursed or hexed the team that they'll never win again. >> reporter: the curse reared its head again in game six of the 2003 national league championship series. with the cubs, only a handful of outs from reaching the world series, a die hard fan named steve bartman reached for a foul ball and perhaps prevented chicago's moises alou from making the catch. the cubs unraveled from there and lost the series.

right of self-determination within the context after all this was a former devised by president woodrow wilson the united states but he situated that inside the context of imperialism and that's why i keep saying you've got to look at the right to self-determination within the context of people fighting not just for freedom but also people fighting against the machinations of the great great powers and i don't think you can look at ukraine for instance and just simply say it's the russians i think you have got to look at ukraine and say actually the west american european union are also a force here and if you want to talk about self-determination for ukraine actually you could have self-determination for either of those blocks ukraine can't get real real freedom if it sides with either of those blocks matthew in new york would you like to reflect upon them because if they go ahead john jump in here there is one problem with the fact that in a general assembly voted on this one hundred eleven this is not just a matter of the united states this is the vast majority of states voting ten to one t

we have jane harmon, now the director and president of the woodrow wilson center for scholars.ut today. but what are the options for ukraine right now? >> well, our best option is economic. i know there's talk inside the administration of ratcheting up the economic sanctions, going against sectors. john mccain is right that basically russia's economy is a gas station with a few corrupt oligards outside. if we know how to do this with two main companies, we do that, we really hurt them. and we can do that right now. >> why don't we? >> beats me. we should do it. who do we think the people inside ukraine are? martians? i don't think so. they look like russians and speak like russians and don't identify themselves which i think violates the geneva conventions. and we shouldn't do a military insertion. i don't think the military will go through. i don't think the u.s. should do that. but economically we should move right now. that will send a message across a bigger region. let's look at syria. what's going on with the poison gas thing. russia could stop that. let's look at iran. w

morgan and that was something that we've seen continue through all of the decades since woodrow wilson when it came time to look at the clayton antitrust act again to strengthen antitrust and monopoly wrote laws in the united states also did not touch the banks also largely because of his personal association with j.p. morgan sun jack morgan and so forth so it really set a precedent whereby other monopolies were examined far more scrutiny and with far more scrutiny of manner than the banks were so now we let's fast forward to nine hundred twenty nine and we have a different cast of characters with the same company name seem to be pretty much all the same as they were before in seven zero tell me what the heads of the six big banks were leading up to black thursday on october twenty fourth one nine hundred twenty nine and were they caught unaware at that time. the big six banks at the time that that term which we now use today for a slightly different alteration of those same six banks was actually coined by b.c. forbes who ultimately ran for magazine and coined that term in that crash
