Hear Me Out: Un-Cancel Woodrow Wilson


Listen Later

On today’s episode of Hear Me Out… making (fourteen) points. 


A piece in this month’s issue of the Atlantic argues that it’s time to re-evaluate the presidency of Woodrow Wilson. President Wilson was indisputably a productive president — but he’s now reviled by the left as a racist and the right as a tyrant. Is there room to meet somewhere in the middle?


David Frum of the Atlantic joins us to argue that, yes: it’s time to un-cancel Woodrow Wilson.
