wrote a book on woodrow wilson for a series on the presidents i discovered a wilson. i didn't know very romantic very emotional very deep feeling i'm discovering. who edith really is i'm working with molly on her book and like first lady's memoirs. her memoirs fascinating and that third picture there on the right. i've been to the library of congress and i've read her papers, especially edith's papers when she was trying to put this memoir together, and i've learned a lot from all of this next please. i'll write my first point. you can't understand edith wilson if you don't understand woodrow wilson's attitude towards women. this is a very sensitive topic now if i say wilson women most people will say like that wonderful picture. i found these kaiser wilson he was against the constitutional amendment giving the women the right to vote at least for a long time. he was president. this makes you think that wilson is a kind of dour figure who hates women doesn't want them to succeed has has nothing to do with them or nothing too good to say about them. quite a discovered.

the woodrow wilson papers are like 69 published volumes. there is one that is quoted entirely to wilson's health. then there's a wonderful book by a woman who became a friend of mine -- called edith and woodrow. it's about the relationship. it's really about this time and she did a beautiful job of going back into all the documents and looking at everyone and wilson's cabinet was saying, asking about this, and wilson, he did allow people to come and see him. he allowed two republican senators to come and see him one afternoon. he could carry on a perfectly intelligent conversation. but, sustaining his concentration was absolutely impossible. the senators went away thinking, yes, he's in good shape, he can do this. i went through a little spate of, i have another stroke, but i went through a, i needed a pacemaker turned down. in the months leading up to the, i knew i was really tired but i didn't think anything was wrong with my head, except i was having a hard time looking. and i could carry on my daily whatever's, and had no idea that i was

a lot of people had come down this path before me the woodrow wilson papers are like 69 published volumes, and there's one that's devoted entirely to wilson's health and then there's a wonderful book by a woman who became a friend of mine phyllis lee levin called edith and woodrow and it's really it's about their relationship, but it's really about this time and she did a beautiful job of going back into all the documents and looking what everyone in wilson's cabinet was saying asking about this and and wilson. he did allow people to come and see him he allowed. two republican senators to come and see in one afternoon and he could carry on a perfectly intelligent conversation but sustaining his concentration was absolutely impossible. these senators went away thinking yeah, he's in good shape. he can do this. so i went through a little spate. i haven't had a stroke but i went through a i needed a pacemaker it turned out and in the months leading up to that. i knew i was really tired, but i didn't think anything was wrong with my head except. i was having a hard time working and i could ca

in spring, 1919 president woodrow wilson made his way to europe. 4 months after germany's defeat, the question of war, reparations continued to divide. the victors only the american leader believed that excessively severe sanctions might stir up a desire for revenge. among the losers he intended to win over his allies. suddenly on april 3rd, the allied meeting was postponed. wilson was very ill. carry grayson, his doctor confided privately. the president was suddenly taken violently sick with the influenza at a time when the whole of civilization seemed to be in the balance. after 5 days he was back, but to those who knew him, he was no longer the same. they had never seen him so worn out, so tired. his chief bodyguard lamented. ah, the illness has left him very weak and radically changed. his alertness are on june 28th 1919. the peace treaty was finally signed. the treaty of versailles brought germany to its knees. the cost of reparations was so high. it provided a pretext for the 2nd world war 18 months after its 1st documented appearance on a u. s. military camp, the spanish flew,

a great promoter of the event, woodrow wilson, was careful not to comment on the pandemic. the 2nd wave peak to new york 15 days later, reaching a sad record of more than 5000 deaths in one week. no one was yet aware that the industrialized world had been plunged into the gravest health crisis in its history . it had soon claimed more victims than the war. in autumn 1918, the virus redoubled an intensity from boston to bombay. rome to rio, its deadly variant raged british india relatively spared by the 1st wave, became a charnel house in a land of 250000000 people. the virus was spoiled for choice. everywhere trains arrived, packed with the dead and dying in punjab. the worst affected region, almost a 1000000 people were dead or dr. reported. the hospitals are so choked, we cannot remove the dead fast enough to make room for the dying. in delhi, every 2nd hospital patient died. the dead are traditionally cremated on riverside pars. but the wood reserves were exhausted, and cremation became impossible. corpses were dumped in the rivers instead. ah, in india, the death toll h

these scares, there were numerous attempts to bomb people and property, the washington house of woodrow wilson's -- was badly damaged by a bomb in june although palmer himself was not seriously hurt. in september of 1920 always a load of dynamite blue up in front of the morgan bank on wall street killing 38 and injuring 143, windows were blown out, but the morgan bank was scarred, they decided not to repair the damage. leaving it as a sort of stigmata of capitalism. the fear generated by the red scare was more than the threat. hundreds of aliens were deported including emma goldman and alexander berkman who tried to assassinate the industrialists henry clay frick, though by wonderful coincidence the day he was deported was the day henry clay frick died of national rural as natural causes and he left the country before i did. the socialist party never came close to winning the presidential race but had alleged oral success at local and conventional levels, 5 socialists into new york state assembly, they were suspended and expelled and rented special elections and were reelected but denied their s

chase. maryland is paolo sotelo his it's thing was the fellow in the brazil institute at the woodrow wilson center. thanks very much for being with us. so what does that state for brazilians then as they go to the polls on sunday? well, it is to try to find direction for the country. the country had chosen the direction more social democratic towards the left in 2002 that lasted. ready during the 8 years of president law, followed by 65 years of president dumas says, which was anointed by lula as president and lula was successful. her bill was not in the crisis that followed allow or create of the conditions to for the election all by right wing populist president, ball show model who is finishing all his term a very low approval rating. while president law has a relatively high approval rating at this moment, president lula, the former president, has about 52 percent of the preferences. so now we have 36 percent. so there is a chance that the election would be resolved in the 1st round this sunday. let's talk a little bit more about the current president, jo, boston, our because his party

ellen wilson was woodrow wilson's first wife and she died in the white house. so when president wilson remarried his second wife edith went abroad with him during the time. he was negotiating the treaty of versa to conclude world war one. and this was a very important moment for her to see her husband acclaimed essentially as the savior of the of the war. so that was that was an important step forward. but even your closer to your eras the lady bird johnson and the whistle stop. yes in the whistles up you and yeah, so even in the era of plane travel you of course had truman doing the the whistle stop and then ladybird in 64 as i mentioned, which was an incredibly important trip in that gave her a chance to travel and to begin seeing that it was okay for women to to campaign for their husbands to be surrogates. you know, that's one thing we haven't really talked about yet. is this whole surrogate ocean and how the wife can do a lot to restore a president's image and you mentioned frankie cleveland who became francis cleveland after she married you don't know he h

the washington house of woodrow wilson attorney general was badly damaged by a bomb in june in 1919.although palmer himself was notj seriously hurt. in september of 1920 a whole wagon load of dynamitee blew up in front of the morgan bank on wall street, killing 38 injury s hundreds, 143 of them severely. windows were blown out for blocks around. the site of the morgan bank was sparked by the explosion in the bank decided not to repair the damage, leaving it as a sort of stigma of capitalism. it is still there by the way a minor wall street tourist attraction. but the fear generated by the red scare was far greater than the actual threat. hundreds of aliens were deported, including such well-known ones as emma goldman and alexander berkman who tried to assassinate the industrialist henry clay fight one of those of historyoincidence so full of, the day he was deported was a day he died of natural causes. berkman said at least he left the country before i did.

i won't go to bl plessy versus ferguson but i will go to woodrow wilson, one of the great so-called leadingsive intellectuals in late 1800s and 1900s president of princeton university, governor of new jersey and elected president of united states, and he overturned every major pro-integration law that was put in place by the republicans who preceded him. recession gated the departments of federal government, fired black forward administrate hours, and openly sympathetic to the kkk . and he was critical of reconstruction. less th than 60 years ago, 1964 civil right act was opposed by 69% of senate democrats supported by 82% of senate republicans and opposed by 61% of house democrats and supported 80 percent of house republicans of those who voted no in house 74% were democrat, and in senate 78% who said no were dem a democrats those who filibustered. robber bird. and bird spoke for 14 hours in a last-ditch afford to kill the bill. bird would go toserve as senate democratic leader from 1967 to 89. and including majority leader from 77 to 81. and 87 to 89. and minority leader 81 to 87, he was

it goes back to woodrow wilson and the progressive's attack on our declaration, constitution and the moral foundation of our country. it's not a very far slide to the 1960s and 70s when you had the radical blame america first democrats and the today's left is acting in their shadow. this is exactly what the democrats wanted your cal why is inflation up 13%, why does gas cost so high, why are your food bills so high? at joe biden and democrats promised to a limited fossil fuels the source of so much of our prosperity. it literally powers our economy. why do we have 5 million illegal aliens in our country in the last two years? because joe biden, kamala harris and ellis of the democrats promised open our border. why do democrats consistently from carter to clinton to obama to bite and weaken our military, constrain us with crazy international treaties and bureaucracies -- it's because they don't want a strong, sovereign america leading the free world. these are not accidents, not mishaps, bad luck or misfortune, this is their deliberate choices, they want to weaken the source of americ

the idea sold the american people at the time by the woodrow wilson administration in 1913 before ital economy. would get the money from wall street trickling down through middle america to the coast in order to help everyone in case of a crisis. that's not what is happening here. that hasn't happened. charles: to that point the playbook always has been circle the wagons. when you look closely they're circling wagons around banks, right? it's a convoluted journey from the money printing they create, always goes through banks and supposed to get to regular folks but that doesn't always seem to be the case. i want to ask you about your new book titled "permanent distortions." what i'm concerned about, this is the new normal then, this world we live in distorted by central banks where we live with the sort of economic and market volatility. >> that's exactly right and the reason i call it permanent very carefully instead just a distortion we saw in the financial crisis of 2008 and now in overdrive in the pandemic period of 2020 was that the fed when it wants to because it has no limitat

it goes back , as you saider., o woodrow wilson and the progressives attack on our declaration, our constitution, o the moral foundation ofr our country. and it was not a very far slide you into the nineteen sixties and seventies when you had the radical blame america first democrats and today's left is acting incting in their shade this is exactly what the democrats wanted. why is inflation up 13%? 13%, why does gas cost four to five dollars a gallon? why are you having trouble paying your utility bills? why are your food bills so high? , whit's because joe bidenigh? and other democrats promised toa eliminate fossilts fuels, the source of soe much ofof our prosperity, prosperity literally powers our economy. why do wy doe have five million illegal aliens entering this country in the last two years? because joe biden, kamala harrisca and all those otherprom democrats promise to opeisn our border. y wh y are the democrats consistently from carter to clinton to obama tamo biden, weaken our military in their office, constrain us with crazary,y international treaties and bureaucracies? it's because

presidents and british royalty before the queen, which has to say that i believe you said that woodrow wilsonh an american, with british royalty. and that was striking to me because it took a while, right? i mean, it was interesting to me that this was not something that, you know, after the revolution it just, oh yeah, american president is going to go visit the -- for various offensive reasons, it takes, like, a century and a half to get to the point where that is enough in history that you can have this kind of, you, know sort of ceremonial collegial ritualistic visit with the crown. >> right and even just technology, you know, wilson only met the king because the world war i was over and he was in versailles in paris negotiating the piece. so, it went over to -- so, it became important what kind of personalities were monarch of england and also president of the united states. but, you know, i think sometimes, chris, the only appreciative we only appreciate a little we have once she's gone and i think this was a perfect example of that. you know, people like queen elizabeth the second, but

it needed a new and they needed to convince southern legislatures and a southern president woodrow wilson to sign the legislation for the national park service to be created. so so it was and that's what we're trying to address really is here. what were the origins? well, not the campfires. right now, not the yellowstone campfire, not teddy roosevelt's campfire either. you know, not actually not where the idea came from. and it probably wouldn't be so ingrained in national if it were. it comes of that period of the civil war when the united states, as we know it really gets formed, you know, and all these institutions get formed. and parks are one of them. and they're pretty deeply ingrained as a result. you know, we showed that slide of john muir and roosevelt that think that's glacier point in yosemite valley they they met there there's a photograph and they and they spent a night together camping out under the stars and i think you know you're probably talked there. well, they probably talk to each other's ears off to great talkers. and what really probably wanted dominate the conversa

getting involved in world war i is conducted in the league of nations a book by two biographers woodrow wilson and henry cabot lodge. both are arguing they are defending the washington tradition. he served with a little more authenticity saying we've never gotten involved in a continental fight, why would we start now? wilson is saying note the ideals of washington are at stake. and a lot once we do get involved in the first world war involves calling on washington's legacy. and then something really interesting happens. it happens fairly quickly all the sudden maybe it looks like washington was not this perfect profit. we can get involved in foreign wars, pretty short or do good make the world safer democracy. so it takes washington down a peg. in a significant way. there is a backlash to involvement in the first world war. when the second world war comes about, you see a group called the america first committee. some were isolationists, but they use washington's farewell as a real avatar to be against the united states getting involved in the second world war. this hits an absurd assistance

i sort of just prayed my way across the woodrow wilson bridge.hen i looked back, i just saw a big ball of smoke and i was able to make it. i have been working at the pentagon since 1979. i was able to get out of the building. host: those of us who were here in washington that day -- i was in the u.s. capitol -- we remember how chaotic it was, traffic shut down, how people abandoned their cars. how long did it take you to get home that night? caller: i would estimate it would take me 45 minutes to travel to fort washington, maryland. by the time i got to my vehicle i would say within an hour, because it was in the morning at a time that there was traffic, but i took some shortcuts through old town, virginia. i was able to thankfully go across the bridge. host: another thing i remember about washington was the entire cell phone system shut down. it was hard to reach anyone. were you able to reassure your family that you were ok since they knew you worked at the pentagon? did you lose any friends inside the pentagon? caller: yes, i did. i knew quite

i think it goes back to 1912 when woodrow wilson was president. cannot make the world safe with democracy. you are supposed to deal with congress when you are given money to countries -- giving money to countries and sending troops. the presidents are just doing whatever they want to, unilaterally. i would like to see what you think about that. guest: it is an interesting statement. i agree the roots of this go back a long time, certainly to world war i when woodrow wilson was the u.s. president and the way that the war ended which led to the revolution which led to the cold war. of course we are skipping over a lot and then the dissolution of the soviet union. i think this is very much rooted in the history of how the soviet union fell apart and russia's paranoia and grievances over the situation. we were reminded to that with putin's reaction to the soviet leader who ended the war. and he did not attend his funeral because he thought ms someone who gave up world power. host: going back to china now, we have a tweet from the reports. he asked, "w

woodrow wilson has a screening of this in the way. it's the first film ever shown in the white house. another interesting point that i think reflects i'll be real quick is w.e.b. dubois. marcus garvey. they attempted to raise funds to make a counter movie to birth of a nation. they couldn't get the resources up. so this is reflective of the same challenge we have today, dominant corporate media has the power and the resources to construct a particular narrative. and those of us who don't have the same perspective don't often have the resources to push back with the same kind of megaphone. now, these tools, these weapons of the week, as james scott would say, are helpful because i can push back on twitter, i can push back on instagram, i could push back on tik-tok. but it ain't the same as birth of a nation, just like ain't the same as fox news. right? i can tweet all day that same thing. it's tucker carlson. similarly, there was a challenge back then about this. so this was a powerful moment. well, we can't ignore the fact there's als

liam started woodrow wilson school in seventh grade.he school that sarah attended and they were instantly friends. >> i think she saw someone she could trust and someone who genuinely wanted to be there for her and be her friend. >> preston was another friend of sarah's. they weren't as close as sarah and liam were, but they were friends. preston actually took sarah to the junior prom. >> preston and liam became friends freshman year in high school. and you know, they obviously maintained a close friendship even after high school. they wound up moving in together. >> i think that she definitely thought of them as really good friends and someone she could confide in and trust and talk to. >> when you're leafing through the neptune high school yearbook 2015, the trident, you really get a picture of this friend group and how it emerged. and then you see sarah stern. she was most artistic. her quote, "be yourself. don't ever be what you think other people would want you to be." there's a best friend section of the yearbook where you see lia

institute of peace and woodrow wilson center. wow! the war is a failure? would you agree with that?a great deal of ukrainian territory in the east and in the south. but the ukrainians are making a bold effort to retake territory, just launching a new initiative, pushing the russians back. the fact is, vladimir putin estimated this was going to be a fast forward, they'd take kyiv, and absorb ukraine once again. and it hasn't happened. and ukrainians are standing firm. so, it's not a failure yet, but pressure is failing. >> vladimir putin would also love to see the united states and the uk's alliance and our unified support of ukraine, to really disintegrate, now that the queen has passed, do you think that'll happen? >> no, this is a very firm relationship, and she has fostered it, as you pointed out, she met every president since harry truman, with one exception of lyndon johnson. she wrote wrote in a convertible with truman. she hosted ike in balmoral and sent him her recipe for scones. she asked general ford. she rode horses with ronald reagan. she went to a baseball game with geo

and you have to be party leader now because it's a two party system and post woodrow wilson, you have to be leader of the free world and you have to manage federal properties and be prosecutor and partner in chief and and manager in chief of a huge bureaucracy, a hirer and fire in chief, you know, when some people may have some experience firing people, as in the apprentice or something but it's really hard to have all of these competencies really hard. and there's no great training for this. truthfully. and you can be vice president, but that's different. you can be first spouse, but that's different. you can be a governor, but you don't understand foreign affairs. you can be a senator, but that's not an executive post. you can be a military leader, but you may not understand the authority you have. be good at so many different things and there's no rate training for it. and the american people just put such ridiculously high expectations on you to solve everything and. you can't actually without a house in the senate and even if you have them, the supreme court can smack down your e
