a shrine to woodrow wilson, the first historic house museum to voted to woodrow wilson into the museum of reconstruction. i was brought on a couple of months before it opened on presidents' day 2014. knowing a little bit about the struggles that the nps had or trying to get this nps movement in buford started, i was nervous. i know the veterans had been powerful. i am not from the great state of south carolina, but i was aware that other -- there is a ,tronghold on the lost cause particularly that interpretation of reconstruction. that congressman clyburn talked about his background as a teacher, i suspect at some point more than likely have to deal textbook, as many in the audience did as well. i wasn't sure exactly what i would find when ike -- when people came into the home. i was nervous. i was pleasantly surprised about what i found. i know you're thinking, first off, what is -- what does woodrow wilson have to do with reconstruction? test connection, i think the doctor mentioned this last night in the keynote, the birth of a nation. he screened the film in the wood -- white house

we decided to continue the lens of woodrow wilson and reconstruction. give you a little background on wilson and reconstruction and open up some of the larger themes that people have been talking about over the course of this symposium in the last 24 hours. one of the things i wanted to do was gauge what the public knew about reconstruction. the very beginning of the tour we designed a question that when i say the word "reconstruction," what comes to mind? a lot of people could actually tell you post civil war. the post civil war era, they knew it was rooted somewhere in that time. the most popular answer after that was carpetbaggers. it didn't matter whether you are northern, midwestern, southern -- this is what the american people seem to gravitate to. what they seem to remember from their history lessons in middle school and high school. that sort of demonstrated we had our work cut out for us as the tour began. but one of the things i think and michael hit on this a little bit, what we discovered come at you in the first year, about 3000 people came

if you remember woodrow wilson declared he wanted peace without victory which would be i think quite difficult and would be a very different looking peace than what we have today. in many ways 20th century was an american century on the back of teddy roosevelt. >> you can watch this and other programs online at booktv.org. >> dian guerrero has appeared in the highly rated tv series tv shows, orange is the new black and jai, in the virgin, dian volunteers with the nonprofit

today, a conversation with the director of the brazil institute at the woodrow wilson center, paulo sotero. i'm maria hinojosa. this is one on one. paulo sotero, you are the head of the woodrow wilson center's brazil institute in washington, dc, longtime journalist covering the united states for brazil. and i just have to ask you, you know, so many people think about brazil as being this faraway tropical country, you know, far, deep in the south. but in fact, brazil is a growing superpower. it's gone through an extraordinary transformation in the past 20 years. so the last time that i was there was 1997. if i was to go back to rio or sao paolo now, would i see a difference? what would i see? >> you would see a country whose people is more comfortable with the current... its current situation. there is a sense of hope that has been restored to the country compared to that time. that was the time when we had established democracy, reestablished democracy, but we were entering the period of economic stability. democracy and economic stability have been the two pillars upon which two brazilian

[applause] >> well, thanks very much for the kind introduction. ly do my best not to disappoint you, but gee, you made it difficult. [laughter] >> well, what i'm going to do is try to give you a kind of a fast tour through this new book man of destiny. i should begin by saying that one of my first historical memories, really my first historical memory is a very recollection of my father and mother listening to a radio talk of franklin roosevelt. very probably his last fire side chat in 1945. i have a more distinct memo

teddy roosevelt and woodrow wilson were the high tide of american progressivism. we land in the middle of the 1920's with calvin coolidge and andrew mellon. i would submit to you that coolidge was the most successful conservative president in history and mellon was his key partner in that. let me just explain why i would say that. 'sthink coolidge and mellon records in several things -- they vastly reduced taxes. they introduced significant tax reform, reduced the marginal income tax rate from over 70% to below 25 percent. reduced federal regulation, ignited a great economic boom. finally, and this is most critical, they actually reduced the size of the federal government, and that last point first point that the three points could have been true about reagan's tenure. the last was one of reagan's objectives, but because republicans did not control congress, he was not able actually to reduce the size of government, but coolidge actually did those things and was a very successful president and a very popular president. one of the interesting concepts in the chapte

why the year, in the midst of world war i, woodrow wilson entered world war i and lenin to topple the provisional government that had taken over in st. petersburg after the csar,tion of those are -- how those two events have ricocheted and shaped the modern history. that is the next book. moving to the next war, the suit video that a lot of people have already seen. it is harry truman relieving macarthur of his duties. you can explain how that happened when we come back. long and hardght about this question about extending the war in asia. i have discussed it many times. i believe with all my heart that the course we are following is the best course. a number of events have made it evident that john macarthur did not agree with the policy. i have therefore considered it a essential to relieve general macarthur so that there would be no doubt or confusion as to the purpose of our policy. it is of the deepest personal regret that i found myself compelled to take this action. general macarthur is one of our greatest military commanders, but the cause of world peace is much more important

the woodrow wilson bridge in the distance. good-look day. current wind gusts between 20 and 25 miles per hour across most of the area. that's where they'll stay the rest of the day. for the next few days sunny and nice, just as cool as we like it and not quite as windy as yesterday. as we get towards saturday, though, there will be a chance for some rain. most of the rain chance saturday i think comes after 4:00 or 5:00 in the afternoon. got officially a 30% chance of a thunderstorm on your saturday. doing any traveling, a lot of rain across the gulf coast today. our next real chance for rain is this little system across parts of the midwest. th into the day on saturday. we could use the rain. we've had under 16 inches of rain for the year. about an inch to maybe a little more than an inch we behind average. about 3 inches behind where we were at the same time last year. this afternoon, sunny, breezy, and mild, temperatures mid to upper 70s. perfect weather for sitting outside at the backyard barbecue tonight or your favorite sidewalk cafe.

aaron david miller is vice president of new initiatives, distinguished scholar at the woodrow wilsons it that 51 state department, mostly career diplomats write this memo saying, mr. president you must start bombing syrian president's bashar al assad's positions otherwise more and more innocent civilians are going to be dead. >> it's unusual. disscent channel memos can be two or three individuals this is 51 which required weeks if not months to organize. and someone willfully leaked the memo. they turned it into a station identification memo over deep frustration in the state department with the obama administration's policies toward syria. that is the take away. one other point, i don't think this is an issue for this administration. it's unlikely that the president is going to reconsider or essentially agree with what the diplomats are proposing. >> over this five-year civil war, hundreds of thousands of civilians have been killed. millions have been made homeless internally or externally and what these diplomats, these career professionals are saying, mr. president you have to do

aaron david miller, woodrow wilson international center. elise labott and david chalian. one of her advisors said donald trump is unlike any presidential nominee we've seen in modern times and he's fundamentally unfit for the job. so that will be the theme, i take it, of the clinton campaign going forward. >> right, this isn't just a foreign policy speech, this is a character speech. that's the argument they're trying to frame. we saw this starting with quchr cuomo's interview a couple weeks ago. she ticked through the list of items that she's going to on go through again today, whether it's nuclear weapons for japan, whether it is the nato involvement, the muslim ban. she came to decide he's unqualified for the office. foreign policy is not something necessarily that people vote on unless there is something immediate to the election. and i think what you see secretary clinton doing here today is laying a predicate for a fall argument i'm sure we will hear it's not just a foreign policy, she will declare him unqualified in every role of the office. and so now she's laying

you saw some of the feminist support woodrow wilson into the war to get the 19th amendmentttu passed which created a rift between former allies who thought those women were becoming warmongers. you can find direct echoes in a number of errors. >> that was great lindsay, did you have something you wanted to add?ote just >> i'm so out of my depth with people who know things. [laughter] i wrote this little throwaway essay about, when you are a daily blogger, what you what you have to do is skim studies and then regurgitate them and say something funny at the end. so i was doing one of thoset reb where was something about women who take their husband's last name versus women who don't. i don't remember what the conclusion was. i wrote something just about my own experience where i didn't take my husband's name but i have some visceral attraction to the idea. there's something about it that it appeals to me and i don't w know why. i was like oh no, i broke feminism. i wrote that my husband would never allow it. my husband would absolutely not let me take his name and then, because he, out

woodrow wilson, grover cleveland. franklin, the great depression, franklin roosevelt, the next tide turning president. he wins again and again and again, hands off power to his wing man harry truman. and that was the dominant coalition until vietnam and just the chaos of the 1960's sort of tears apart that coalition. it becomes the great society, late 1960's, and really ronald reagan eventually is the next genuinely tide turning president. won reelection, won a third term called h.w. he can't run for a third term. he is term limited. until now we have been living basically in the era of reagan. those are the tide turning presidents. washington, jefferson, lincoln, fdr and reagan. and if -- the choice that is before us, my fellow citizens -- in 2016, if barack obama's secretary of state, his wing woman were to win, we would say the tide has again turns. he won, won reelection, handed off power. if the democrats -- if they become basically the dominant presidential party at least, then -- ok, now. the structure, the rhy
