edith wilson married woodrow wilson after his first wife died of a stroke. and when he suffered a massive stroke in 1919, it was edith who guarded access to the recovering president. the president woodrow wilson house in washington, d.c. hosted this hour-long event. >> welcome everyone to the woodrow wilson house. i am thrilled to see you here. i am the interim director. before we get started, i would like to point out the portrait on the wall. that is the lady we will be talking about tonight. it is fitting we are here because her birthday was a few days ago. we are indebted to edith wilson for her forethought. without her generosity, the wilson house would not exist. she is a woman who saved everything, collected and donated it to the national trust in the 1960's. as with much of women's history, her story is generally relegated to second tier when talking about her husband, so it is a pleasure tonight to have william hazlegrove here to share his expert -- perspective and thoughts on her contributions to history. his new book is a look at her role after wi

when wilson was entertaining mary, and advisor, wilson's right-hand man, he had no real title, and wilson liked that, to have people who did not have official titles. this man let it be known that the letters were out there and they could be sold to the press. wilson freaks out, and since grayson to tell edith. wilson goes to bed. he thinks his girlfriend is done with him. edith writes in the letter and says, i'm going to stay with you, don't worry about it. wilson is so, i guess, uptight about the situation that she has to go to the white house and give him out of bed and tell him that yes, she will marry him. we see this sort of victorian lover who goes up and down and has wild mood swings. he told her six-month letter -- later that he is never opened the letter. he didn't want the bad news. they get married. i say this lightly, but they are sort of the clintons of their time. wilson did a strange thing with edith from the beginning, he included her in everything. he would send her top-secret papers as they were dating. she would write him back and say, i appreciate the love letters, bu

well who is wood row wilson. in that time he responded to that crisisbjÑ -- so -- one of the first examples of international relief. want you to think of american's role to the relief today and it would have been precursor to ym that. . we're here just after and presented this painting to president ÷úwilson. >> and that's÷ú the title. to bring relief and being a player, if you will, on the international stage. another that we have on the homv are three plays. i'll point out these hand painted are three of 15 plates that were a gift to presidentzv wilson from the king and queen of belgian. who wilson visited when he was inu! europe and then they resi prokated. this was the first trip to america by reigning monarchs from europe. we've been a country for all this time, but because of traves and british kings and queens, they had not visited the united states. but the belgians came to the united states and presentedp opn united states and presentedp opn witha stroke that devastated his health. they could hardly

wilson, dear mrs. wilson, could you act on this. book. some here in the that to me was very telling. and then of course the letters back and forth between her and aroundsident, the people him trying to deal with their problems. what was interesting was, dear mrs. wilson, if you get time, could you show the president this? timid.f those were i think she was very fierce and protective and it was hard to get anything to the president. some of the letters start asking his daughters to help because they felt like no information was getting through edith. there was definitely a power vacuum and a lack of information flowing. in her defense, she had a dual role. she famously said, a bunch of people came and amended to see the president, and she said she did not care about the president of the united states, i care about my has been. a lot of historians say she through the country under the grabbed,t was a heller but edith was trying to keep her husband alive at the same time she was trying to step in and run the government. talk about stress. bu

woodrow wilson had. mr. roosevelt -- germans hold this all over the place -- germans heard this all over the place. roosevelt decided there wasn't much point in preparing for battle. the germans didn't entirely stop, they were gearing up for the battle with france and england. they kind of ignored roosevelt. roosevelt made two more attempts. the first one said basically, don't attack poland. 0the germans responded and then ignored the second. from their point of view, they didn't have to pay roosevelt much attention. they focused to their propaganda on the real enemy. of course, roosevelt in the next month attempted to shift public opinion. but the war of words was pretty much over except hitler could not resist. remember that germany declared war on the united states on december 11. the did not have to. the treaty obligated them to attack only if they were attacked. but hitler thought hey, why not. in middle of his long speech to the reigtstag, he said, you remember, my deputies, that i gave this impertinen

at one point it back all of the way up to the woodrow wilson bridge. they haven't closed up opening the garage half of an hour early in order to get some of the cars off the road and into the garage. both exits on the beltway were closed until around 2:00 this morning. the other thing that we noticed as we were circling is that for a time, until about 5:45, that 5000 garage was still full. but we know that things have opened up. now, hopefully with some winnings. traffic is flowing smoothly now back on the beltway on the inner and outer loop we should let you know that there are a number of ways you can find out what the traffic is looking like heading into the national harbor and the mgm grand. specifically prince george's county has set up text alerts. reporting live, suzanne autria: hillary clinton, calling fake news and epidemic that should concern everyone. a man went into the, ping-pong after reading a fake news report saying that the restaurant was the site of the sex trafficking ring led by clinton himself -- or so. clinton said that these fake

wilson was not in that position. his aids didn't tell him that clearly at the beginning of the first world war. f.d.r. saw it clearly but mainly because of his experience at assistant secretary of the navy and secretary of the navy under wilson. so how do you get to the point of being far seeing enough? similarly with syria, the present conflict in syria, i think perhaps possibly president obama might have made different decisions if he'd seen how it would -- how it has evolved. he wouldn't admit that, i don't think but it's possible. brian: if you had been an aide to f.d.r. in 1940, what would you have told him when winston churchill kept saying we need you in this, we need you in this? mark: i think f.d.r. essentially had it right. his perception was churchill was right, that the united states was inevitably going to be drawn into this conflict but that the american public, litically speaking, wasn't ready for it to happen yet so he had to take interim measures, some of which may well have been unconstitutional, to
