and woodrow wilson spoke for the large majority of americans, is pretty clear. in the middle of august 1914, he said this, we must be impartial in thought as well as action. we must look at any sentiment that might be construed to help one party of the struggle for another. neutral in thought as well as deed. otherwise, he thought, the u.s. would not be a fair mediator. he wanted at some point, he kept saying really throughout the years, that the war began in august up until the time u.s. declared war itself, he wanted to mediate the war. he wanted to somehow be honest broker between the powers. he had, as you know, three ambitions to be the great statesmen. as someone would believe very much in the promise of american democracy, he wanted to spread that around the world, but he wanted to do it peacefully. he was quite aware that there were tremendous amount of ethnic tensions flowing up once the war began. the german-american alliance had 2 million members supported by the brewing interest in america. it was holding demonstrations in many cities that were stron

woodrow wilson spoke to a large majority of americans it's pretty clear. you must be impartial in thought and action and not a preference of one party to struggle before another. neutral in thought as well as deed. otherwise, he thought the u.s. could not be a mediator. he wanted -- at some point, throughout the 2 1/2 years in august up until the time the u.s. declares the wore himself. he wanted to be the honest broker between the central powers. he had, as you know, great ambitions to be a great statesman and someone who believed very much in the promise of american democracy and wanted to spread that around the world and wanted to do that pea peacefully. also, he was quite aware there was a tremendous amount of ethnic tensions boiling up once the war began. the german american alliance supported by the brewing interest in america, holding many demonstrations in newark and chicago and calling for the u.s. to stay out, supporting the germ germans. and there were polls arguing they should have independent. the wore would mean nothing if that couldn't happe

woodrow wilson, i would say a little bit torn. wilson admired hamilton's embrace and advocacy of an energetic executive but he found or certainly bought into the idea that hamilton dislikes the great masses of people. and he found that to be, whether it is accurate or not, objectionable. so a younger wilson seems to have some positive things to say about hamilton but the older , wilson does not. he has embraced what is going to become a 20th century democratic party orthodoxy that jefferson was the champion of the common man and hamilton was the champion of the wall street plutocrats and that has been the defining issue in american life. you are going to find far more admiring statements from teddy roosevelt about hamilton, then you will from woodrow wilson. >> first of all i would like to say, i loved this book. thank you for writing it. second of all, more recently since the publication there have been a spat of articles about hamilton's xenophobia. have you read any of them? do you have any comments? dr. knott: i have seen them.

woodrow wilson in a speech to the congress as president in january of 1918 said, this is a 14 point planupon which we will engage with the world, as america should. this is how we want to define the 20th century. the american century. there were key components in that 14 point plan that are as relevant today as they were back then. i mean, in particular, article iii, where he said the removal so far as possible of all economic barriers and establishment of an equality of trade conditions among all the nations consenting to peace. free trade, he said, good for america, good for the world. and the basis upon which america would engage with the world. he also went on to talk about freedom of navigation of the seas here and that's as relevant today, particularly in the south china sea, as it was back then. and it continues to be. and you know what, the united states signed up for that platform. the people of the united states signed up to the platform. they said yes, we believe in enterprise, we believe in freedom, we believe in democracy, we believe in transparency. we believe in the empowe

man about foreign policy intent it the but but there came a time with woodrow wilson invade quern progressives printed themselves as liberals in the beginning of a book and said in 1919 as they're describing the development of liberalism he said there really doesn't have a coherent set of ideas but it is old and corrupt party politics of the past. and there is a weird reprinting going on from progressivism they believe in government and government could solve most of the problems. but these liberals do not believe in government of believing that they started to read cake pans -- recognize. and to be shocked that they should not be some answering newspapers. then in 1919 wilson was in paris for the peace conference and were should be with those porous london's. and with that commission enables him to go out west with the two major yvettes. where are paid gutzon borglum practice another was a case but based on an that there was too much power and there was save brad thing. but the last piece and tv jail that's an anti-war critic. in 1919 oliver wendell holmes, jr. was inducted into the supreme c

they believed that if woodrow wilson made a statement against lynching, then many things would change, as the leader of the country. and they never stopped this belief for wilson. eventually, after racial violence, a massacre in east st. louis, they were marching down fifth avenue, new york city and afterwards wilson felt his hand being pressed. so he decides to meet the delegation of the naacp and other black citizens and meets with them, watson says in his memoir, for three hours. and a few months later is he actually makes a statement about lynching. redeems him,y let's be clear about that. but i like to tell the story, because this is a very white supremacist, very oppressive presidential regime, organized in the executive for public opinion in congress the book ends very quickly on how they had a breakthrough in the supreme court and the first case in modern doctrine, basically this happens because of the naacp. it is this kind of federal guarantee. one of the big lessons that comes out, especially for the current moment, protest on the ground is so important to the movement of p

it was woodrow wilson who in 1913 took to the floor, transforming it into a blueprint for the president's legislative agenda. his successors have used it to showcase leadership, frame a new direction, or lift the spirits of the nation during a difficult time. >> the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. katty: there have been watershed moments. 18 23 president monroe used the address to articulate a new foreign-policy doctrine warning eddle in thet to mw western hemisphere. lyndon johnson proposed legislation that would be known as the war on poverty paving the way for welfare programs. >> this administration today, here and now, declares unconditional war on poverty in america. , the president of the united states. katty: one of the most memorable phrases ever uttered came in president george w. bush's 2002 address which warned iran, it iraq, and north korea marking the birth of the controversial war on terror. president bush: it constitutes an axis of evil threatening the peace of the world. katty: tonight's speech, a statement of purpose, will likely echo president trump's uncompr
