Who do we have to blame for much of America’s condition today? Woodrow Wilson. A single look at Wilson’s doctoral thesis would have told us to be careful with him; it was on ending the American System and replacing it with monarchal system. That’s what Wilson spent the next 8 years doing; 1913 being a pivotal year of it. Did women get the right to vote? Yes, and thats a good thing that he did. Did workers get better protections? Yes, and thats a good thing he did. However, the bad permanently changed the country: Income Tax, the Federal Reserve Act, The 17th Amendment, Prohibition,  The First World War and many others. America is permantly changed by the Wilson Presidency. One editors note: I mispoke on the WWI Treaty of Versailles calling it the Treaty of Paris. Yes, there were many Treaties or Paris, but this was one one of them.

Woodrow Wilson: The Worst American President?

The Jeremy Ryan Slate Show is a bi-weekly investigation into how power really works—across history, empires, and the modern world. Each episode draws on two core lenses: Hidden forces behind history—royal murders, lost colonies, financial systems, modern elites, NGOs, propaganda, and the quiet mechanisms that shape events long before they reach the headlines. And the Roman pattern—the idea that today’s crises aren’t new. Currency collapse, political division, border chaos, military overreach—Rome faced them all first. The Roman Empire spent centuries making every mistake a civilization can make, and left behind a playbook we’re following again, page by page. Through expert conversations with historians, researchers, and serious thinkers—and deep dives into primary sources, documents, and records—this show connects ancient history to modern power with evidence, not opinion. You’ll learn to: • Recognize collapse signals before they’re obvious • Understand modern crises through ancient parallels • See how empires actually rise, decay, and fall • Spot the patterns shaping what comes next From medieval conspiracies to modern cover-ups, from Augustus to Constantine, from ancient Rome to today’s global order—this is history as investigation. No spin. No narratives. Just receipts. New episodes twice a week.
