of course, that was the woodrow wilson league of nations strand. and african-american history, relations, they were race riots in 26 cities in 1919. and science. i wanted one strand that would kind of represent, if it was possible, what was really happening in the world, what was the effort in paris, the effort for international cooperation. the world peace effort. i wanted something, whether it was -- i couldn't figure out whether it be art or music, something that was global the brought people together, and that turned out to be science and actually, the science strand that i used was the story of how albert einstein became famous and he became famous in november 1919 because of an international effort among scientists, to go to africa and south america to study the total eclipse of the sun on may 29, 1919. so to prove or disprove einstein's theory, that is a marvelous story. those are the four to reading -- interweaving narratives to bring alive the themes. the exciting part of it to me is that -- when a writer learns from his or her own work an

woodrow wilson has a phd from johns hopkins. he is the president of princeton before he becomes governor of new jersey and president of the united states. what is bothering them? we will review this. you know what many of these things are. we can talk about a few of their motivations in terms of fears, fears of new capitalism. as companies grow larger and larger, and capitalism becomes more impersonal. i'm talking fast. i want you to think about that. centuryuot a 19th world where your neighbor might have chickens in her yard to sell eggs and you know her, and her eggs are not gonna be rotten because she does not want to rip you off, right? or you are a former that goes to the local grain elevator. you know that operator. you are not selling at a fixed rate across hundreds of miles on the southern pacific railroad, right, where you have to pay a certain rate. you can't negotiate. you don't know who your seller is. i think we take for granted global capitalism's impersonal nature. when you all get things from amazon prime, you ar

modern-day progressives are not the same as woodrow wilson.worse but i think the respect for the constitution as a text that needs to be authoritative is alive and well among modern progressives and, in some ways, donald trump has made it ever so much more so because when there's a president that they dislike and distrust where do they go? they immediately go to screen to the constitution and i don't mean screen and an insulting way but we all should scurry to the constitution for protection when our government is going awry so i think on the left that there is more interest in the actual content of the text and history of the constitution that there has been at any other time in my professional life. mark: what about the attack on the electoral college? that seems to be rather progressive and i don't think there's a candidate on the left that says but that goes to the heart of our republican system which is the national popular vote which specifically they rejected a national popular vote. that changed the entire makeup of the government, it

woodrow wilson bridge, i close the prison and got 3000 acres of land given to the county. people may not like my party but they saw some quality in keeping me around. it allowed me to be more independent in my voting record, because i had earmarks to fall back on than just voting with the party on certain issues. that,members do not have so they are judged by their party, and as a result people are voting for the party, not the person. i think it will continue to advance the movement from a democratic model to a parliamentary model in terms of how we are electing p -- people, and i think it's bad for government. so i would bring them back, but with more transparency. host: could you respond to former representatives davis? >> -- guest: at least he didn't go to jail with some of his corrupting colleagues. as former senator john mccain said, when the members have the power to use the power to corrupt the system -- he talked about the fact that members of the appropriations committee get the majority of those projects. it's not equitable. it goes to people in power. , that an

in december 1918 woodrow wilson became the 1st sitting u.s. president to visit europe his delegation included franklin delano roosevelt a system. navy secretary and future president. wilson attended a series of preliminary negotiations ahead of the paris peace talks. wilson and his wife edith arrived in the french capital on december 14th the city gave them a tumultuous welcome i we will build a prosperous world in which all nations will enjoy the freedom for which france america england and italy have paid such a high price i in january $918.00 wilson presented a 14 point plan for postwar peace in part it proposed self-determination for ethnic minorities and the creation of a league of nations to guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity of all states. in paris wilson met frequently with the french prime minister. josh klim also had been appointed prime minister and minister of war in november 917 and called for a complete victory over germany and the return of a sus and lauren to france. clearly also also demanded that ge

headed by a strong president who would be very much like woodrow wilson.u criticize the separation of powers, you get an emancipated presidency and you get what we have today. now, some people say, well, we loved teddy roosevelt, woodrow wilson and franklin roosevelt and linden johnson and this domestic incarnation. and republicans used to be skeptical of the presidency, too, healthily in my judgment. they believed in congressional supremacy. then they had the heady and intoxicating experience of ronald reagan and they too fell in love with executive power. this is summons among other things to the restoration of the equilibrium among our three branches of government which requires the beginning of a revival of congress to quit spending off powers it has no right to spin-off. we go right back to the first thing you showed in this segment as i came on the set, the beginning of a pulse in congress that might resist the president's unilateral, unilateral imposition of taxes which are what tariffs are. >> we're right back into the headlines tonight. i'm watchi

woodrow wilson has gone from the sixth pot to the 11 spot over the course of the years. weatherford b hayes dropped from 26 to 32. grover cleveland, 17 to 23. the historians don't tell us why the rankings have changed but there's a commonality and i think historians can speak to that tonight among these presidents. that's under the core of pursued equal justice for all. weatherford b hayes is tagged with ending reconstruction. woodrow wilson and andrew jackson, we've learned so much more about their policies towards - - and jackson's case, native americans. and both he and woodrow wilson with regard to african-americans during their time in the white house. over cleveland also doesn't have the best record in the area as well. dwight eisenhower has gone up a theory has been emerging about his hidden hand presidency. he's ranked ninth in 2000 to the fifth place today. bill clinton, he came in at 21 when we first surveyed. that was right on the heels of his impeachment process. on the second survey he went to the 15th spot and remains there today. this one is interesting. u

woodrow wilson's presidency laid a foundation for that. and so while that was going on in this country, the same thing was going on over in europ and you had the things going onn that's going ourope now. these things don't happen in isolation., and ve told people mussolini in italy and hitler in germany, these things -- i can see them coming. and so it was no surpristo me that we are where we are. if we fail to learn the lessons of our history, we're bound to repeat them. and it looks like we have not learned those lessons. and so we are now repeating it. that's whais strange to me. we're too intelligent for that. >> how do you advocate that members of the caucus talk abo the israeli-palestinian relationship? >> i think we ght to talk ctout it in the way that we talk about any other asf our religion. we are the products of a judeo-christian society, and then we ought live by it. ad we have to reconcile some of those things if going to function, going forward. and so, i know that even within my caucus, most of us are for ai two-state reso.

in 1916, woodrow wilson won the election on a promise that he would keep the nation out of war. shortly afterwards, an unprepared america was sucked into world war i. in 1940, president roosevelt won re-election on a peace platform. that peace platform soon crumbled under the bombs of pearl harbor. after world war ii, we disarmed virtually overnight. before you knew it, our army was being pushed around by ragtag troops in korea. and later, the soviets shocked us by launching sputnik and by invading afghanistan. today, the united states dominates the world arena. once again, our noble first instinct is to seek peace. and that's why america needs the brave and skilled soldiers of the citadel more than ever.

in 1916, president woodrow wilson faced a tough reelection campaign. at the time, 12 states allowed women to vote. the newly formed women's party campaigned forcefully in those states against wilson because of his strong opposition to women suffrage. women voted against wilson by notable margins, causing the first known gender gap in a presidential election. although woodrow wilson ultimately won a second term, the women's party made clear they were a force to be reckoned with. i could not be more proud's of and --frages -- suffrage suffer jet who bought for decades to secure our right to vote and made the groundwork or a woman's right to hold office. it is because of fearless women like alice paul, lucy burns, dorothy day that i stand here on the floor of the senate, representing the largest state in the union, california. in the first election held after the 19th amendment, women one public office in 23 states. today, women are represented in all levels of government -- federal, state and local. in 1992, the first year i was elected to the senate, a

half of us believe in the rule of a living constitution as woodrow wilson conduct that a regime that empowers the court as a constitutional convention in the darwinian fashion to keep the government involving modernity's changing conditions. that living constitution also spawns the expert agencies from the sbc to the epa that make rules like a legislature and administer them like an executive and add adjudicated and punished. to the old constitutionalists, this regime with its government by decree from bureaucrats and judges and its separation of power is not democratic self-government. that something more like tierney, hard or soft depending on whether or not you are caught in its clutches. to the living constitutionalis constitutionalists, the government by agency experts and yale and harvard judges making rules for the progress of society to use their language and guided by en-lai tend principles of social justice that protect workers, the disadvantaged and others, that's what constitutes the real democracy in its inclusiveness so now we have the freedom party versus the fairness

trump is doing exactly what woodrow wilson wanted.ident to criticize the american founding, which he did not do preripheralperipherally. he was the problem is the separation of powers. not so good now. what we need now is a nimble, unfettered executive such as the one stepping off the helicopter. >> and there is the president of the united states saluting the marine guard and the first lady of the united states, melania trump, shaking hands now with prince charles. camilla bowles will step in and offer her greeting as well as the president begins his three-day state visit to the united kingdom. >> senator, the last time the president was most recently abroad before this visit and we saw him, so far he's criticized the mayor of london. the tweets during the japan trip focused on joe biden, who is the front-runner for the democratic nomination. biden waited until trump was back on american soil before he responded to that in kind of a typical deference to the fact that we're supposed to leave politics at the water's edge. do you think t

it's important to remember that woodrow wilson was the first president to visit in 1918.t george the fifth. from that time, there have only been two state visits, george w. bush in 2003 and barack obama in 2011. theresa may offered a state visit in exchange, i think, she expected trade deal and she thought she would get brexit through. that hasn't happened. so there's a huge question mark in british politics at the moment, but so far as the president is concerned, i think it would be very, very advisable, although he won't take this advice, not to tweet. that is another piece of etiquette that i would recommend. >> not to tweet. we'll see how that fairs, richard. you mentioned the lunch that the president will attend. let's talk a bit more about that. the president's comments to the sun newspaper. mr. trump did say that he thought meghan markle would do excellently, that she would be very good but when told that meghan markle said in 2016 that she would move to canada if president trump became president mr. trump said i didn't know she was nasty. so how do you think that
