our second panelist, christopher, will present a character study of president woodrow wilson. it was, as amity shlaes noted over lunch, the. of wilsonian progressivism that coolidge sought to highlight when he delivered his stunning in 1926. the inspiration of the declaration which we've talked about throughout the day coolidge successfully slowed that first progressive wave but not those that followed. judge chad readler will turn to the second and third progressive waves. we have a big task for jed. the new deal of the 1930s and the great society of the 1960s and legal cases from, those periods that locked in these disturbing changes to national philosophy, that locking in not only in the courts, but also in and politics will, be the subject of our final panelist, professor brad watson. this is a really qualify panel outstanding group, as you'll see from your program. as i alluded at the outset, i suppose it could also be called a tragic panel, except the fact that a few of our leaders, including coolidge, have tried very hard to return to our original and in fact, have gain

woodrow wilson and warren harding. cut taxes after world war one.but coolidge and his ally, treasury andrew mellon, wanted cut more and. 50%, which is about level of the cut was not acceptable to coolidge. so i'll read you more of his language. the country needs every ounce of its energy to restore itself. the expenses of government reach, everybody. i want the people of america to work less for the government and more for themselves. having the reward of their own industry was coolidge said. the chief meaning of freedom. cutting taxes after, tax cuts, which is where we were, is easy. the lawmakers on the hill liked their toy and the first tax cut coolidge had done in 24. well, we only reduce rates somewhat, but now at his inauguration eve, elected on his own. he cut he was quite aggressive. he tax over taxes and legalized larceny. oh, you're your recusing your colleagues. he was the and people often ask me why the coolidge -- were so friendly with alice roosevelt longworth since she was the daughter of a politician with some different views about p

woodrow wilson. early scholars late 1800s and early 1900s of the so-called progressive movement the early american marxist. this is what they preach. we believe a divided government was separation of powers as it montesquieu argued as locke argued, aristotle argued is best suited to protect the rights and liberties of the individual. their free will and the knowledge, experience and expertise that floats from the interactions into the whole of society so the pieces make the hole. the whol hole does not control e pieces. people are imperfect. therefore, the must be controlled. not by a just law, not by a representative government. they must be controlled. this is their belief. they must be controlled by a relative handful of people who know what they are doing. who know what it's best we don't how they know what is best or how they know it they are doing, but they know what they are doing. why? because it managed to gain power they are senators, they are judges, maybe it's a democrat president. they k

theodore roosevelt and woodrow wilson and ford on the spot had tr and wilson removed. he kept eisenhower and he installed in place of wilson and abraham lincoln, who was a lifelong hero, and then someone who surprised a lot of people. harry truman, a democrat, but white ford from the midwest, like ford, charismatically challenged. not a great orator, but someone who knew the innards of government becauseit's spent all those years on capitol hill and truman case in the united states senate. ino's case, almost 25 years in the house. so it turned out that both truman and ford, who were called upon to assume the presidency in tragic situation, were both easy to underestimate. but are strange. they were not strange that went themselves to the television age. they were not public performers. strange. they were the much worse dramatic, if you will, much less compelling. strange of the washington insider who understood from the inside out how government worked and how it sometimes failed to work. richard norton smith mentioned gerald ford's address in the east room. here's a p

and it was president woodrow wilson in the early 20th century who revived this custom and then we goto media. and this is a big media affair tonight. president calvin coolidge 1923 first president to have his state of the union address broadcast on the radio. then you had franklin delano roosevelt the master of the road radio. he was known nor fire side chats during the great depression and world war ii. that was part and parcel of his delivery of this speech. it first went on television in 1 # 7 with harry truman and then a big change in the mid 160s. they had this thing called "primetime." and it was linden bains johnson who moved the speech to prime time in the evening. if you look at a picture from that speech five minutes, six minutes in the east coast. president clinton the first president to stream the speech on the internet. guys? in congress has been interrupted, right? you have members of the minority get up and heckle. watch closely what some of the democrats are wearing. i'm told. so women will wear white because of suffrage. they might have ukrainian flags. some people do

president woodrow wilson moved the clocks during world war one, the same with fdr during world war twond president richard nixon during the oil shocks of the 1970s. president trump expressed exasperation with the time change in december, calling it inconvenient, but he's not inclined to alter the clock switching. >> it's a 5050 issue, and if something is a 50 over 50 issue, it's hard to get excited about it. i assume people would like to have more light later, but some people want to have more light earlier because they don't want to take their kids to school in the dark. >> the country is divided politically, but at least one lawmaker believes the issue could unite. all americans. >> i'd love for us to not have to switch our clocks. i think that's something that actually probably can unite americans right now. >> shakespeare wrote, quote, let every man be master of his time. but that's hard to do when congress decides the time. the bard also said, what is past is prolog, which means we likely change the clocks again this fall on capitol hill. chad pergram, fox news. >> okay, i much pr

business and and that in itself is to signal a very important development, which will be followed by woodrow wilson. there's going to be another economic downturn, as we all know, followed by franklin roosevelt becoming, the first democrat after wilson to be elected president, and wilson and fdr understand something. wilson even told fdr at one point, or, i'm paraphrasing, that the only way democrats get back in the powers of the economy goes down downhill. so roosevelt's for that. needless to say, it happens. and when roosevelt is sworn into the presidency, one of the things he's going to really try to champion is the role of government in trying not just ensure greater fairness and equality, but the role of government in reinvigorating the economy so as the gilded age ends or the early 1900s. we get more and more attention paid to civil service reform and ultimately to a different role for the federal government in addressing economic downturns that will be course a big hallmark of fdr presidency. but fdr i think along with some, these other presidents delivers an inaugural address at a very dark

california, chair of the commission on national defense strategy, and former president and ceo at the woodrow wilsons good to see you, congresswoman. when you couple this with the pause in military aid, what's the impact? well, hopefully it's for a short period, but that period could have a catastrophic impact on ukraine to be clear, the united states in particular has been working through a site in wiesbaden, germany, called the security assistance group sag you to help with targeting of drones and missiles in ukraine. in addition to that, there are some ground operations in ukraine that the cia has helped ukraine with. if ukraine goes dark and doesn't isn't able to target drones and missiles and isn't able to understand when there are incoming drones and missiles, they're totally vulnerable. maybe it's for ten minutes, maybe it's for ten days. but i think after all this, it is a very unwise move that has just been made. zelensky wrote a letter the president was gracious last night. zelensky was gracious in his letter. and i think these negotiations are going to move forward. but hobbling ukraine i

corruption when you're trying to monopolize a government service and say what you will about woodrow wilson. back in the old days, he was a big anti-monopoly guy. this is trying to undo the robber barons. and so if you read the book about elon musk and so on, he there's a whole section on his unrealistic goal setting. so he found this weak part, this weakness in the u.s. government exploited it as fast as he could. and now for it's one thing leading to another. and he's trying to undo a public service and supplant it with one of his. and this is is just good old corruption. so sooner or later, i believe the court system will catch up with these guys. and so it's just going to be it's just talk about efficiency, destroying a system that was working and then trying to replace it later is inefficient. >> and we heard. >> we heard from that. we heard from that employee bill who said, it's like asking for a disaster to happen. >> what concerns do you have on that front, given the valuable service that noaa provides? >> well, the other thing everybody, the climate is changing. you can say to your

involved, because americans remember, too, how the united states got into world war one, that woodrow wilson took step after step after step, getting a little bit closer to war, a little bit closer to war until all the germans concluded, well, the americans are effectively at war, so we might as well start sinking their ships and americans overwhelmingly said we're not going to do that again. and they cited american history. george washington, the historically minded of them, said, warned us in his farewell address against getting involved in the affairs. if you're he said, stick with america as affairs do not become attached to foreign nations. we've got enough to do minding our own business. and this had been america's for the nearly century and a half since george washington and there was that one exception during world war one. but americans quickly said, oh, that was a mistake, we won't do it again. so americans in the mid 1930s were what i'll use the term because it's so commonly used. but you should be aware that people the term is isolate asian ism and isolationist. you should be awa
