he is woodrow wilson. so in may of 1916, i read his speech the league to enforce peace very differently than you did. it seems to to me that it was. the british not wilson who was to blame for that that very early failure of the piece project. um, i don't think the speech articulated disdain for the objects and concerns of the war. i think it was trying to articulate impartiality. he was not at that point going to judge who was at fault. instead he wanted to focus on freedom of the seas to court the german and us audiences and on banding together against selfish aggression and to protect quote the enviable rights of people's obviously courting allied and us audiences who saw germany's invasion of neutral belgium as the wars. defining moment and meanwhile wilson had signaled the very same attitude in a letter that reached the british cabinet a week before his speech and they were still hotly debating peace at that point. then of course jp morgan as and this is another wonderful part of the story of your sto

the first wife of woodrow wilson, was active in getting housing reform in washington d.c.. but i think you can say the public initiative, as you call it started with ladybird johnson. with her beautification project. when the johnson's got into the white house she didn't start at the first year, the year that they served the remaining term of the kennedy administration. in other words the last year of the year after president kennedy was assassinated. she did not started. she said i don't know if we're going to be here for another four years, i will wait and see what happened. she did make great change the white house until she was sure they were going to be there another four years. but then she decided on a project, and i think america knows it was a project it was beautification. and not just on outdoor parks, but removing junk yards besides the highways, it was very integral program. and every first lady since then, has had that it is very effective program she had. so many of the first ladies they asked today if your husband run for president what will you do? what wil

i understand that my great-grandmother had more than one encounter with woodrow wilson. she actually visited him in 1913. they had made the request that they stop segregating the federal government and so was cool that is named after him to be changed to her name is really a wonderful thing. >> woodrow wilson, one of the most racist presidencies, can you talk about his attitude regarding cerebration and by people in general? >> well, for the situation with the soldiers in 1917, you know, to me, that says a lot, that the soldiers that represent the fight for freedom and democracy overseas is important, it is also one of the most important things, there are two examples do we need to see give a window into his mentality. >> so getting his name off and then having it be replaced by ida b. wells at this school. okay, we we're about at the end of our conversation. this is a terrific. we are having our meeting by zoom, thank you to all the folks watching, you are doing a terrific service for everybody. especially in doing the writing that you do. so i have one final question f

the reason that occurred was in large part due to woodrow wilson who was an uncompromising individual himself, and he did not bring any republican members of congress with him to the very side peace talks, which greatly irritated politicians in congressman back home, which wound up leading to the versa treating not being ratified by congress. it would take a second world war to convince popular opinion and congress. that we would need to be a very active member in that piece organization afterwards.

the reason that occurred was in large part due to woodrow wilson who was an uncompromising individual himself, and he did not bring any republican members of congress with him to the very side peace talks, which greatly irritated politicians in congressman back home, which wound up leading to the versace treating not being ratified by congress. it would take a second world war to convince popular opinion and congress. that we would need to be a very active member in that piece organization afterwards over. a century ago on may 31st 19 21 racial tensions in tulsa, oklahoma led to an armed mob of white men marching on the city's predominantly african-american greenwood district the arrest of a young black man for his interactions with a white woman in a downtown office building triggered the unrest over the next day the neighborhood known as black wall street would be the scene of shootings looting and arson while official totals put the number killed at 36 historians now believe the toll was as high as 300 35 blocks of the city were left in ruins. next from earlier today we mark the an

and woodrow wilson sort of acknowledges this. without woman, we could not have won the war. because of that, of course, you will ultimately get votes for women that come out of this. now, when the dough boys are returning, 4000 strong, they want their jobs back. you saw how high unemployment was. so, there is racial tension that comes when the returning white door boys find some african americans in their job. there's also tensions when they come back and find women in their jobs. now, most of the factory owners at the time had seen woman in the factories as sort of a wartime expedience. so, the first people to get fired tend to be woman. that seemed to siphoned away a lot of the discontent mint because as the door boys were coming back for those few jobs, the women were quickly kicked out. good question. >> something that you alluded to very briefly in your top, this question asks, why do you think so few americans know of the polar bear expedition in 18 and 19? and the origins of the red scare? >> i just think it's stuck in one of those periods in american history that doe

taft had strong opinions, you know, we give a lot of credit to edith wilson the second wife of woodrow wilson. she's often called, you know. president test because she took over after he had the stroke, but i don't think she i don't think she had that much influence on his views at all. she was very apolitical for one thing. she said she wouldn't even have known who was running in the election of 1912 when he was elected. so she's given up much more credit. i think than she deserves. most people i think would pick her out eleanor. influencing as i said, she's more balanced of to franklin's ideas. in other words. she he certainly listened to her people often said that he would ask her for her opinion when he was on the other side. she would state it and then a day or two later. they would hear him saying something that sounded much like her then like he had sounded previously so influential. yes, and as i mentioned lady bird johnson i'll have to think of others. the next question is from rhonda and it has to do with some of these public initiatives that we talked about. she wants to know is th

one we talk about is this administrative theme, thisee belief started with richard e lee and woodrow wilsonciety needs a professional class insulated from politics and professionally educated and trained to do the things that force society that the voters, the people and masses are not intellectually equipped to do so that is one but the other stream is the stream of development of cultural marxism which starts essentially in the 1920s at the end of world war ii and winds its way through the political institutions until the 1960sn roughly where these two streams meet and i devote probably half a chapter in the book and probably have not talked about it publicly at all because it seems so obscure but in my opinion, one of the key people in this is dwight waldo who, unless you read public administration or took a degree in public administration you've probably never heard of but for the longest time, the idea in public administration was there is this dichotomye between politics and administration. this was what he wanted and the way public administration concerns. administrators are nonpolit

however, senator henry kevin lodge, no fan of woodrow wilson, attached an amendment to the 100 million appropriation that prohibited the distribution of food to former enemies, particularly germany in austria. two of the poorest and most food deprive nations in all of europe. hoover got around lodges provision by simply giving the money to british officials, which was perfectly legal. the british officials then loaned the money to germany, which was not specifically prohibited. thus, the germans and the austrian's use the money to purchase food supplies. the british kept the blockade in place until march of 1919, and it was only fully lifted in july of 1919. would open the blockade had more to do with the rise of communist sympathies by the german people, and then with any humanitarian impulses on the side of the allies. in the united states, for example, fear of communism had given rise to the red scare and ushered in an era of hyper nationalism, which among other things, broaden rebound of the kkk and other extremist organizations in the united states. hoover wrote in his diary that,

progressives -- which are actually regressive -- have been in power since theodore roosevelt and woodrow wilson. they have established -- for 120 years, they have established bureaucrats in charge. we see that with fauci. you see the emails that are coming out now, right? and in this and is it if -- in this innovative state, the elite in d.c., in politics, this is what the founding fathers have talked about, the elite in d.c. have been in control, and they are not working for the best interest of the american people, which the founding fathers wanted them to do. that is the only interest that the constitution requires, that the constitution wires that the government works for the people, the american people come up with their consent. host: kathleen, thanks for your call. john nichols, we will get your response. guest 2: i agree with a lot of what she is saying. we do have a situation where the elites have immense power. i do not think most of the elites are in government. i think the elites tend to be in places with money, to support particular candidates, and hiring lobbyists and really influ

woodrow wilson's first wife was an accomplished artist and a various student politician who went so far during her husband's very contentious first election cycle to issue a press release and deliver it personally to answer claims that she supported women smoking. and as a forerunner to first ladies who champion social causes ellen wilson took up a cause and that was the living conditions in the alleys where many african-american and immigrants lived in in dc. she took elected officials and toured them. she provided financial support for development of alternative housing and she supported legislation that was referred to as the alley bill and she followed that legislation which was passed on the day. she died and she actually asked about it on her deathbed. florence harding as i said also broke new ground and stacy's going to talk about her and then finally in the bottom corner lou henry hoover who realized the power of traditional public speaking and was one of the first first ladies to really begin giving a whole series of formal speeches, but she also understood the power of radio a

book, the first we talk about is a sort of administrative theme, this belief that started with woodrow wilson that society needs a professional class insulated from politics and professionally educated and trained to do the things that force society, the voters, the people, the masses are not intellectually capable so that's one of the streams. the other is the development of cultural marxism which starts essentially in the 1920s at the end of world war ii and lends its way through the political institutions up until the 1960s roughly where the two streams meet. i devote probably has a chapter in the book and i am probably not talking about it publicly at all because it seems obscure. one of the key people in this is a man named dwight waldo. unless you read the administration or took it a degree you probably never heard of, but for the longest time this dichotomy between politics and administration this is what wilson wanted and the public administration functioned. we argued administrators are in nonpolitical non-value oriented positive scientific operation that is doing what's best for soc

this is a quotation from president woodrow wilson. never before have been crossed the seas to a foreign land to fight for a cause which they did not pretend was peculiar of their own but new was the cause of humanity of mankind. there was some discussion about whether to include a quotation from president wilson given his current reconsideration in american history, but we thought it was important. he was our president at the time he led us into war he articulated this idealistic vision to the american people that led them to support the war effort and to volunteer and to answer the draft to go to war. and so doing he articulated an idealistic view of american foreign policy that has shaped us for the next 100 years. so we thought it necessary to have a quotation from wilson. we think that people will understand that this is not a memorial to wilson, but it's a reflection of the role that he played in our country's history and in world war one. and finally, we'll come to the last inscription. and when i bring people here, i just take

this road is named after president woodrow wilson to his le contributions to the league of nations. if you will. they'll meet with them thamt could go much longer. of course, they could go shorter. a lot of tea leaves will be read by how long and how well these meetings will go. but, wolf, the expectations for this summit certainly have been building as president biden has been traveling. he's been talking with world leaders to get them to buy into the idea that he's having this summit at all. he faced some criticism back home from democrats and republicans alike for why he's essentially elevating vladimir putin. he said as he talks to world leaders, they all but thanks him for holding this summit with putin. they're opening negotiations to see in the white house's view if he can have a stable dialogue with russia. that's uncertain. on the agenda, cyber attacks, human rights, and so much more. wolf, for president biden, this is something he essentially ran on. this is what he was elected to do, restore the transatlantic alliance and try to confront autocracies like russia. this meet

you know, this version of progressivism, which i think is different than teddy roosevelt and woodrow wilson at the turn of the last century, not necessarily my favorite presidents on that but i'm just saying this form of progressiv ism, far left, is really more akin to socialism and it's really, darrel issa, it's not about growth it's about redistributionism, and more than that -- >> redistribution to the government and then eventually trickle down to those who they see as worthy but never forget they are redistributing to government first and then the chosen second. larry: but i think that there is an animical feeling against the private sector and it runs deep. i see it and hear it and read it all the time. just like this statement that they made for this committee, if i can pull it out real quick. hold on one second, because it really is, it's quite revealing. yeah, the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. that's nonsense. i mean, the ranking, you know, in the declarati

it's named after woodrow wilson as mentioned earlier. he'll be making his way across the bridge over to the villa la grange. you can see the presidential flag and swiss flag on the beast. the motorcade has taken biden across europe for the last six days, and it's that journey that has led president biden to this moment. as he makes his way along with all of his advisers, he will be sitting in that meeting. the first meeting with tony blinken and the second meeting with all of his advisers. keep in mind as he told us the other day, he wants to verify first and then trust. of course, president biden has met president putin before, but this is a different meeting, a different moment, a different time. as the motorcade now makes its way across the bridge going around the other side of the bank of lake geneva, certainly much anticipation here on the streets. they've been closed down for the last several hours. flags from both countries waving in the breeze. in a few short moments, president biden will be arriving there with his first face-to-

woodrow wilson did his best to change that.envisioned a rule by the administrative state, the brilliant bureaucrats, decent man in an indecent time but as you know, it turns out human nature applies to bureaucrats as well. at some point our government forgot that it works for us and started to grumble that the people have forfeited the confidence of the government and wished they could dissolve the people and elect another. but they can't. we are here, we are awake, and we are not going away. here, the people rule. or we should. any system of government where we, the people, don't rule needs to end starting today. my grandfather loved "star trek" and growing up we would watch old episodes together. one scene sticks in my mind. it's an episode where captain kirk awakes among a primitive people who believe him to be an immortal god. but when one of the aliens challenges him, he is shocked to find his knife draws blood. he shouts, behold, a god who believes! bureaucracy inclines towards immortality. it's easy to get a god complex

. >>> i want to turn to the former director and president of the woodrow wilson center, the former nine-termber of congress, representing california's 39th district. what do you think was accomplished? >> first i think we can bury the urban legend of sleepy joe. i thought biden handled a full week, came back on the plane and is getting briefed today as i just heard on infrastructure and then doing a bill signing. let's forget that. the rest of us are a lot sleepier than he is. i thought there were three takeaways from the trip. the summit is just one of them -- or four, actually. the renewal of the special relationship with britain, good relations with boris johnson after all, and the eu focus with us on distribuing vaccines around the world, nato pivoting to china, our priority, and now the putin summit which i agree laid the groundwork, established the rapport between the two men. they don't have to trust each other. they just have to work together. and i think better days are coming. the thing i would focus on is that biden delivered the key messages that he said he would deliver around h

woodrow wilson's experience especially. they wind upkeeping this appointment. more details about it, though. when i see this, i see lady bird sitting in the corner as the executive producer of the lbj presidency orchestrating this moment animating l bj and has a smile in his face and she's holding something in his hand which is a letter by son-in-law and he has moment of reading those letters sitting for his portrait with his wife keeping him boosted the day before he's going to go up to the -- the funeral service where he's going to bury perhaps his most significant political rival, bobby kennedy. >> yeah. so moving. >> very moving. >> it's really incredible. >> did you speak to lady bird's daughters in connection with the book, have they or other members of the johnson family read your book, if so, how did they respond to your portrayal of mrs. johnson and her husband? >> well, i would like to know how they are going to respond to the book. the book is only out this week, so hopefully i will get some feedback from them soon and sorry i'm distracted, our dog w

because the idealistic principles of president woodrow wilson set the direction of american foreign policy for the next hundred years. because the war could not have been won without the united states. as american troops stopped the final german defensive at the marne river. and in the hundred days campaign that followed drew the toughest assignment on the western front and fought through to victory because world war i was the third bloodiest war in our history. and the courage and sacrifice of the doughboys was as heroic and sublime as that of the boys and blue and gray who came before them and the gis who came after. because just as the names bunker hill in yorktown. shiloh and gettysburg normandy and iwo jima ring out in our national memory. so too should chateau terry and send me o and the muse are gone. the historian a scott berg said that the stories from the great war are the stuff of greek tragedy and are of biblical proportions. and modern america is very identity was forged during this war. this memorial and word and image seeks to tell those stories the soldier's story and the n
