adam president -- woodrow wilson said in a quote is even more important to know how the houses being built than to know how the plans of the architects were conceived. and as a former basketball player i often say that sections of the playbook for combating terrorism will often need to be secret but the rulebook that the united states follows should always be available to the american people and all of the american people. our military intelligence agencies often need to conduct secret operations but they never should be placed in the position of relying on secret law. so i'm very pleased this morning that we know that the executive branch is going to provide a memo to the american people and i believe that this construct that step must lead to additional steps that are equally important. this episode is an object lesson in how the united states congress can use the levers that it has two fulfill one of the most important functions of government and as my colleagues and i engage in our perennial discussions about how to make congress more functional i hope this is an experience

the federal reserve act was passed ultimately under woodrow wilson looked a little bit different from the plan. but it had a lot of similar aspects created this idea of the central bank and the concession that would be close and has continued to be close to the wall street banks and then there would be the federal reserve, which the president would appoint the chairman and so there was kind of this idea of a balance of power and everybody was happy and there's a whole bunch of stuff in the book about all the maneuverings at midnight until that finally did get past. >> host: clearly the federal reserve is a lightning rod given the quantitative easing programs but right from the outset it has been promoted as an independent institution. in your opinio opinion can it be independent given the nature of the relationships exclusively in the book lacks >> guest: no, it's really naÏve to think that it can be independent. one because of the very structure it has been burbank's that they need in the federal reserve banks to serve only shares in the federal reserve as a full entity. that's numbe

across the street, in essence, started the bull moose party and split the republican vote allowing woodrow wilson a very progressive democrat, to become president of the united states with less than 42% of the vote. so we've been fighting that wing of the party ever since. and sometimes our opponents look like teddy roosevelt, sometimes tom dewey or nixon or ford or bob dole or john mccain or mitt romney. but that's -- and today it's john boehner, eric cantor, mitch mcconnell, lamar alexander. we're fighting that wing of the party. and as i said earlier, the voters reject them. and only when the face of the opposition to the democrats is a limited government constitutional conservatives do we score big victories. this very weekend, as a matter of fact, republican leaders eric cantor, kevin mccarthy are meeting at the ritz carlton in amelia island, florida, meeting with the main street partnership. and their objective, the main street partnership, is to in mitch mcconnell's words, to crush them everywhere. that means us conservatives. so the main street partnership that eric cantor and kevin mccar

maybe a little less than when the democrats are in office but let's go back to woodrow wilson and world war i, okay? right after world war i, the taxes were finally cut. we had the roaring '20s. there were other problems that led not great depression. i understand that, yes of course, but coming out of that, we get to 1960 and john kennedy and 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 and bringing it back into the marketplace. as i say in the book, we have trillions of dollars sitting on the sidelines now. yes the stock market is at an all-time high, unemployment, eggs spy already for hardcore unemployed and those looking for jobs for many months continue to be without work. people who want work. now we saw a slight up tick on an employment rate because more people are starting to look for work again. they have a slightly increased level of, of optimism but, again, calvin coolidge, i want people to be taxed less so they have more. and when you and i have more money spend we will

and also today at the woodrow wilson center they hosted a discussion on ukraine with former diplomatsfrom germany, russia, and poland. they also heard today from chuck hagel. margaret warner moderated the discussion. . harmon and secretary hagel iterated this morning, i would remind you we are here to look at really 20 years ago at this fateful decision was taken in january of 1994 which was at it to offer a partnership for peace to russia, warsaw pactwer states. any on this panel i will at thece in this panel, time, the czech republic and hungary were clamoring for an nato membership. this was a compromise suggested by the administration. beginning in 1997, nato started thosembership first to three countries, and today it is 12 countries among larger than it was, the 16 members at the time. this obviously sticks in president putin's craw. in his telethon, i do not know how many of you watched this, he talked about it repeatedly. he said we were promised after germany's unification, nato would not spread eastward. when we said why are you doing this, we hurt in response this does not

i think historically that rule is incorrect this is the work of woodrow wilson in establishing the league of nations and the idea that this rule, this criminalization of oral harkens back and built on trust tradition that ran from cicero on the way through the great medieval thinkers. this is very wrapped up in the legal theory. they talk about lots of things we tal talked about today like humanitarian intervention, preventive and preemptive war and ways that go well beyond the simple idea that any use of force other than self defense is illegal. the countries haven't followed this idea of the just war crime allies of self-defense historical. they were not doing it under the charter institutionally dead but plenty since the charter in self-defense and to the un i think has been fairly careless to stop it and the invasion of ukraine is a good example. part of the rule is an institution that if you require the full agreement of the security council to authorize measures against any kind of aggression and china and russia said on the security council. they are going to veto any effort to res

his name was woodrow wilson, african-american. and he told me about las vegas taking his children to a lunch counter. it was in a drugstore. they told him to leave. he couldn't eat there. that's las vegas. that's not mississippi. so things, things changed in nevada. when my children were young, schools were not really segregated like i just described was going on in kansas, but they still had some issues. in nevada, all sixth graders, white kids, were bused to an african-american community to go to school for one year of their school career, but the rest of the time the black kids were bused. one year white kids were bused. the rest of the time black kids were bused. that's gone now. but it was handled differently. was that good, what took place for my two oldest children? no. but it was better than it used to be. so, mr. president, after six decades, our nation still owes a debt to those few brave individuals who stood against racial segregation in american schools. and the lawyer there was a man by the name of thurgood marshall.

the effort -- this is really the work of woodrow wilson and establishing the league of nations committee idea that this rule, the criminalization of four harkens back and builds on the just war tradition every and from cicero all the way through the great medieval and if you go back, one thing i like that if you look at the just war tradition, which is very rapid in the legal theory, just war theory actually is much more nuanced and talks about lots of things to talk about today like humanitarian intervention, preventive and preemptive war in ways that go well beyond the simple idea that any use of force rather than self-defense is illegal. i also think that institutionally, countries have not followed this idea of just war criminal as comer worth in self-defense and they think they are doing it today under the u.n. charter is so. institutionally there have been plenty of wars and were not in self-defense. part of it is the rule, but part of it is the institution if you require full agreement of the members of the security council to authorize measures and china and russia will veto any

president woodrow wilson was starting to read your press conferences and he didn't know how to pick who attend. the standing committee of correspondents in the congress said, we will pick the reporters and the white house reporters said no, we will set up an association. it was founded to credential white house reporters. >> tell us about the history of the white house correspondents association dinner. >> it started in 1921. it started as a dinner with the white house staff and the reporters. it was smaller then. calvin coolidge was the first president to come. we have had every president come since then. not every year. as you know, this dinner has grown exponentially in size. about 2600 people now. obviously, our main celebrity is the president of the united states. very kind and gracious. he has come every year since 1981. >> how has the dinner changed and evolved over the years? >> well, a number of ways. there's no smoking at the dinner. i was just talking to three or four of the most senior waiters at the hilton. they've been waiting at the head table for about 40 or 45 years. i

the effort and this is really the work of woodrow wilson in establishing the league of nations the idea that this criminalization of war hearkens back and builds on the just war tradition that ran from cicero all the way through the great medieval thinkers. actually if you go back and this is what i start with if you look at the theory which is very wrapped up in the catholic legal theory of course in the church. the just war theory actually is much more nuanced and talks about lots of things we talk about today like humanitarian intervention preventive and preemptive war. well beyond the simple idea that any use of force other than self-defense is illegal. i also think it's a too shall he so countries have not followed this site of just war and criminalize war other than self-defense historically and i think they are doing it today and of the u.n. charter itself. institutionally there have been plenty of wars since the u.n. charter that have never been off prized and we are not in self-defense. again did the invasion of ukraine is a good example. part of it is the robe part of it is th

on june 5, president woodrow wilson delivered the address to 156 graduates who were entering ourncertaind in history. america's attention was focused on mexico and then imbroglio -- embroiled in a bloody civil war. the city was taken by u.s. marines and sailors and name battle plan. overseas tensions among european powers was building in a complex web of alliances had taken shape following the walk and wars of 1912-1913. clouds were forming on the atlantic. unbeknownst to the class of 1914, they would see the outbreak of world war one one month after throwing their covers into the air here in annapolis. president wilson gave no hint of the looming conflict but he did pass invaluable advice which remains as relevant today as it was a century ago. he told the new graduate to be ready and fit for anything you have to do and keep ready and fit. do notslack here it suppose your education is over. begun.ucations have just for the class of two thousand 14, your education has just begun. while the clouds may change in appearance, a lifelong pursuit of knowledge and an indomitable fighting spirit

that officially existed to turn out workers and turnout people who are obedient to the state and woodrow wilsonin the early 20th century city needed people to be educated in a certain way so that they could form the sort of permanent technocratic bureaucracy that would run the country properly. traditionally in part in the united states that is not really how we saw education. we wanted people to rethink how to think, not what to think. the training that would make people be the primary point and yet somehow we imported this german model, which is heavy on research and have your credentials and heavy on being taught rather than how to think. i'm not sure particularly suits say. so we have taken on him and applied it to her public sector. we've also played in many ways. for example, many states in america now, you have to have a license before you can become a hairdresser. why? it makes sense i think you have a license before you can become a doctor. it is important for patients to know that he went through the training. but when it comes to hairdressing, when it comes to beauty salon, even some

when you have, going back 100 years to woodrow wilson and the creation of the fed system, regional banks. two in missouri. one in san francisco because there was not anything between missouri and san francisco. the idea of going back and re-examining that role. barney and i doubt with every single day. i have asked -- been asked about vockler rule? why did we end up with three percent? i would like to say we gathered the smartest minds in the world. in the end, i had a bunch people who were for zero and a bunch of people who were 10. i could get sick two votes for three. you have to get -- keep in mind if you do not get the 60th vote, everything dies. these numbers are not magical. nonetheless, you try to go through them it in an intelligent way. but that is how you bait fish end up with decisions based on realities. we had to do things we were not overly enthusiastic about. there are parts of the bill i voted against. i know that is hard for people to understand. when you are trying to get that to done, if you are not able majority, this is no more than a discussion. is thehe best examp
