the divergence between carnegie's view and wilsons is even more striking if we consider that wilson, like carnegie, had deep roots in the british isles and even more specifically in scotland. his paternal grandfather james wilson was the scotch irish immigrant from america -- to america from northern ireland. his maternal grandfather, thomas woodrow, after whom he was named, was born in scotland and moved just across the line to northern england to carlisle, where he headed a congregation in which wood wrow wilson's motr jesse was born before emigrating to america. so what do we make of wilson's statement in 1918? in order to understand it, i want to argue to you today, and more broadly, in order to understand his thinking on the post-world war in general, we need to take into account not only wilson as the descendant of scottish immigrants, not even as many historians have often done, as the son of a minister and as a devout presbyterian himself, after all, every single u.s. president in history has professed to be a believing christian. so in this sense, wilson is not unique. now,

what was wilson doing. okay this is a complicated topic, but i think woodrow wilson had an idea that you can't fight and speeches. i think you can find it when you look consistently at his actions woodrow wilson believe that they were to germany's, one germany led by the kaiser one led by the urban educated socialist leading german people. we could live with one, we cannot accept the other. therefore, what he wanted to do was to defeat but not crushed germany. he wanted to educate pro socialist germany, eventually to rise, without going bolsheviks. because the defeat was too serious, he wanted to precipitate internal reform, but he did not want revolution inside germany. in fact here's a series of confrontations with american senators, who are saying you have to go all the way. he's looking at them saying set senator would you rather the kaiser the bolsheviks. now that's a revealing comment. and then, i think that there's something going on here. he wants to make the british empire and france dependent upon

it was wilson himself. and the result was that the key piece of security architecture everybody had expected was miss i ing. and if significant forces in europe rose to challenge the versailles peace treaty, the key thing that was needed for europe's stabilization would be absent. and that is the story of why wilson's piece lost. thank you. >> folks, we have time for two questions so you're welcome to go down the either mike, raise your hand and dr. armstrong will be available after a program for additional questions. >> going to escape. >> first of all, thank you so much. it was very interested, very informative. personally, i guess i would consider myself more in the lodge view of things in terms of a certain realism. especially with barrier states. will you be able to comment on obviously through wilson's point ten in his 14 points, he was very much in favor of self-determination in eastern europe. were there concerns about having to check in the east to a defeating germany? obviously, soviet union at th

ben wilson gives the speech. the stage and astonishes closed, an hour of conceiving but by the hand of god who has let us into his way. we cannot turn back. we can only go forward with lifted eyes and fresh and spirit to follow division. it was of this that we dreamed at our borough. america shall show the way. the late streamed and nowhere else. there we rejected and break the heart of the world. this from the most accomplished rhetoric shun ever to become president of the united states. and his speech was a dud. it was too high. it was too flowery. but is it true stink you're going to see more front page coverage of the speech, he may give the basics of the speech but you're gonna see down here, some really interesting openings being waged. -- hey don't forget, we have the right to amend this treaty, and we may have to approve it by two thirds but we can amend it by majority vote oh and by the way the republicans are now the majority, because of the elections of 1918. you will also see that the president reads

one reason wilson kept the u.s. out of war for the first nearly three years is that he believed that the czar, who was one of the allies, was on the wrong side of history. this is also why when the march 1917 revolution in russia replaced the czar with the provisional government that seemed to fit in a reformist mold, wilson recognized the new government within a week. the first major nation to do so. this change in the russian government -- again, this is after the removal of the czar from power but before the bolshevik takeover later that year. this change played a role in wilson's decision to take the u.s. into the war the following month. april is when the united states goes into the war. with the czar gone, it was less tainted by the stain of autocracy. you may ask what about the british and french and for that matter american overseas empires. at that time surely those were also prime examples of unaccountable power exercise on the world stage. we'll get to that a bit later. in any case, the bolshevik takeover

host: you mentioned edith wilson, who was the second wife of woodrow wilson after the death of his first wife, opposed to women's right to vote. was there an organized effort by her or other women that did not want to see women have the right to vote? guest: absolutely. inth wilson was not involved the nt suffrage movement. she was personally anti-suffrage and made her opinions known to woodrow wilson and others in the white house. there was organized anti-suffrage, organizations and clubs, just as there were women's suffrage organizations to promote the 19th amendment. there were organizations that had been constructed to stop the 19th amendment. you see this clearly in tennessee, in nashville at this final fight in august of 1920. all of the organizations descend upon nashville, pro-suffrage organizations and anti-suffrage organizations. also, we have not talked about this yet, but there were corporate influences. were special interest groups opposed women's suffrage. the manufacturing industry, the railroad industry, and the liquor industry. they played an important role in that fight

one woman that was not supportive of women's suffrage was woodrow wilson's second wife edith wilson. she was an antisuffragist. she did not think women should have the right to vote. she was not supportive of the 19th amendment so she would have definitely not been a force in favor for woodrow wilson. >> the other factor is that the president at the time was in poor health, very suffered a stroke. >> that's correct. he was. and at that period of time carrie catt actually had to go to him at certain periods of time during ratification to enlist woodrow wilson's help with other democratic governors around the united states so they would call their legislatures into session so the ratification could move forward across the united states. she had to go and work through edith wilson to do that. at that point in time, woodrow wilson had stated publicly he was in favor of the 19th amendment so edith wilson did not stand in the way. >> let's go to connie joining us from florida. good morning. welcome to the conversation. >> caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. i have a questio

, not 22 woodward wilson had put there, really built upon it and what wilson wanted to do, it's kind of ironic because most people's image of wilson is a very presbyterian minister son, in fact he was extremely human, he was extremely emotional and very passionate in what he wanted to do above all this is to humanize the presidency. so where theodore roosevelt had created a relationship with the press, word word wilson wanted to advance that and what he did was hold press conferences which are president had never done before, everything he did was toward personalizing the white house and toward that and wilson came in with the most aggressive, progressive agenda that we had seen and he brought about largely through this process of humanization and he did it by showing up at the congress. wilson had an extremely per kill your view of how the legislative branch and the executive branch should function. he thought being a political scientist that the two branches, get ready, you have to work with me on this. [laughter] he thought they should cooperate caught back he thought literally th

so that starts to get wilson's attention, because of the spouses that are coming to complain to wilson about the treatment. but there were also working-class women, like i said, with and who worked in factories, women who worked in education, that would travel across the united states to come, or particularly for alice paul, participate in the pickets. theother question was about antecedents to the women's suffrage movement, and the caller is absolutely correct that. there are at least two movements that are antecedents to the women's suffrage movement. first earlier was the abolition movement. many of the early suffragists g ained their organizational, political skills, how to give a speech, how to write a speech, how to write an article for a newspaper, all through the abolition movement, and then temperances also the to princ movement and the temperance union, which was the major organization. now, that too has of the major organizations, carrie catt and alice powell, they were sympathetic to the temperance movement, but they tried to keep it separate from the women's suffrage movem

also to woodrow wilson. as i mentioned to you, the incestuous part of this process is there were a lot of socialites involved. my great-grandmother came from canada. -- kansas city, missouri. that is where it all started for her. host: six degrees of separation. caller: wait, wait, wait. one more thing i might mention, in her later years, she was writing cowboy novels. i will tell you how women get disenfranchised. when she first started writing cowboy novels about her life, she would send it in with her name on it and no one would publish a woman author. she changed her name to her wilsoname, robert hayes in order to get the publisher to publish the cowboy novels. host: now you have to write the book. we will feature it on book tv. thank you. guest: yes, i think there was a lot there. the first point is about class. there were women who were working class industrial workers, teachers who became part of a movement. there were also wealthier women who became involved in the movement. some became funders to th

with wilson. unlike in 1913, march of 1917, this is one of the gross early spring days in washington. where the rain is coming in sideways and the wind is just bitter and but they were out there. there is a great news account of describing they're holding wooden poles that had wood stain on them and the stain dripping down the women's wrists in the freezing rain. so they go out and march around the white house and they try to go into the white house to meet with president wilson and they are barred. the security said no, can't come in here. so they go around to the 15th state gate and barred, tried the ellipse and barred. so what do you do now. they circled the property four or five times. finally they go back to cameron house here on lafayette square and say well we're going to keep the pickets up. if he won't meet with us, we're not stopping. we're going to keep going with the pickets. so they keep up throughout the spring of 1917. by the end of april, u.s. is now involved in world war i. now wh

they go ahead and call president wilson kaiser wilson. have you forgotten your sympathy with the poor germans because they were not self-governed. take the beam out of your own eye. now they're calling the president a kaiser while we're at war with germany. the president has had enough. he tells the police force, get them off my sidewalk. i don't care what you have to do. they're not breaking any laws. the police started arresting them for a made-up charge of obstructing the traffic on the sidewalk. which is not a thing, right? and haul the women into jail and say $5 fine or a night in jail, assuming all the women will say, here's my $5. i'll never do it again. all of the women say, bring it. i'll go to jail. there's 30 more women who will pick up the pickets tomorrow. that whole crew gets arrested. $5 fine or four nights? jail? fine, four nights in jail. i've got no problem with that. this escalates so crazily throughout the summer and fall of 1917 that these women are getting sentenced to 60 days in the work house for standing on a corn

second wife, edith wilson. she was actually an anti suffragists and not think that women should have the right to vote. she was not supportive of the 19th amendment she would not have been a force in favor for winter wilson. for >> and the president was in poor health, having suffered a stroke. >> at that period of time, carry with catt, who had a relationship with him, actually had to go to him to enlist which are wilson and with other democratic governors to call them into session so the ratification's to move forward. and she had to go and work through it with wilson to do that. at that point in, time they had stated publicly she was in favor, so it is wilson but. >> good morning, welcome to the conversation. >> thanks for taking my call, i have a question for the first woman to break ground electing to congress and as the u.s. governor fly. understanding is jeannette rankin for, the first woman elected to congress. that happened in 1916, before the 19th amendment was ratified. so are you saying that all men

they go ahead and call president wilson kaiser wilson, have you forgotten your sympathy with the poor germans because they were not self-governed? take the beam out of your own eye. now they're calling the president a kaiser while we're at war with germany. finally the president has had enough. he tells the police force get them off my sidewalk. i don't care what you have to do. they're not breaking laws. the police start arresting them for a complete made-up charge for obstructing traffic on the sidewalk. it's just not a thing, right? they haul the women into jail and say $5 or a night in jail. assuming all the women will say here's my $5, i can't possibly go to jail, i won't do it again. every woman says bring it, i'll go to jail. there's 30 more women to pick up the pickets tomorrow. that whole crew gets arrested. four nights in jail, no problem, more women will do it. this escalates that these women are getting sentenced to 60 days in the work house for standing n a corner. but they kept calling the bluff of the sentencing judge. they kept choosing the jail time. they took the tac

might have said about woodrow wilson. >> any bad things he might have said about woodrow wilson? >> he criticized wilson for preparedness, not having an army and navy up to speed, in case war came. he was also very critical of the wilson policy in mexico. where you have the revolutions overthrowing the diaz administration and the country devolves into chaos. if you see the movies, "viva via" or "viva zapata." you just see one revolution replacing another. wilson is very concerned that general guerta not impose another dictatorship in mexico. he sends marines into veracruz to block german arms shipments. there is -- there are these crazy incidents over will they come in, the flag flew here or not there. but the troops come, go. mexico gets worse and worse. and then you get the columbus, new mexico incident where pancho villa killed some american nationals. america sends the expeditionary force into mexico. that is another disaster. there is a lot to criticize about mexico. there's a lot of criticism about preparedness and the wilson administration. these are things that hughes pla

woodrow wilson was professorial. he together with his staff devised the idea of the press conference. they are not what we see today with the briefings and scrums that take place at the white house every day. they were rigid affairs, questions were submitted in writing and wilson answered the questions very formally. he got irritated with questions he did not like, and most importantly, all of the press conferences were off of the record. his manner was severe. the newspapermen had been used to a raucous, jovial atmosphere with roosevelt, who had of course come back into their life as a candidate for president in 1912, the year that wilson defeated him and william howard taft. the press liked roosevelt. one journalist gave a great description of what it was like to cover the white house from the roosevelt era to the wilson era, they said it was like going from a foundry full of activity to a convent, a cloistered atmosphere with everyone very quiet. wilson came from a long line of newspapermen. one of his grandfather

wilson came from a long line of newspapermen. one of his grandfathers had worked for a philadelphia paper, which had been founded to criticize george washington. wilson had been the editor of the princeton college newspaper when he was a student. his own brother was the editor of a daily newspaper. so he understood journalism, he just did not like journalists, and he particularly did not like them when they wrote about or inquired about his family. tr had been the same way but he had given up. he couldn't get people to stop writing about his cute little boys and his eldest daughter, who smoked inroad in cars -- who and wasnd rode in cars independent and great copy. wilson did not like his daughters to be written about. when one photographer took a picture of one riding a bicycle, he said on the record i would like to punch you in the nose. when they wrote that she was engaged after he became president, he stood up and gave a riproaring lecture about how the press has no right to invade the privacy of his home, and he would see to

wilson come and mr. with progress on combating the suicide crisis, do you agree that commerce should focus on approaches and therapies to help combat this epidemic and other transition therapies? do you think you should hold off and wait on a perfect solution to the veteran suicide crisis? todayact what we can do to get help as quickly as possible. thank you for the question. let me start with the last question, because i think it is probably the most depressing ones, which is what can we do today it was we have in existence? i mentioned earlier we are not including the most important aspect in the process, which is the individual servicemember -- how do we get their feedback and support, which is what i mentioned the veterans metrics initiative. it is a process that is cap based solution where the individual can make their own self-assessment. that information can be stored ofa database that has sort like a warning level that says, if the person assesses themselves personally to >> we have been attackin

wilson for five minutes. mr. wilson; good afternoon, mr. chairman. on behalf of the san diego business coalition, veterans and spouses, i am pleased to testify at this hearing concerning coordinating transition. we are dedicated to the purpose of helping our veterans and families successfully transition from military life. we were founded as the premier convenient of san diego county and we bring together over 150 unique organizations, businesses and agencies. and we support these partners in their services, events and activities, as well as through leadership through what we call our action groups in areas such as physical and emotional health, family life action group veterans empowered successful , and thriving, as well as our education appointment and entrepreneur action group. the purpose of the coalition is to assert the needs of our regional veterans, their families and significant others with the intent to improve collaboration and coordination among community services in all sectors, nonprofit, community, state, federal and formal councils.

i'm from the woodrow wilson house. there was a collectives suck and sigh, and maybe one or two cases of whiplash. there was no oxygen left in the room. they turned to look to us to say, do you know where you are? what are you doing here? yes. who are these crazy women attending this meeting? hi said we are not crazy. we are passionate. we are passionate about telling stories. we are passionate about telling inclusive, diverse stories in this house. that is why it all formulated. it is my pleasure to have you here to start this with us. we are embarking on something we are very excited about. with that i will introduce you -- let's see. i am thrilled that karen is here. the woman's suffrage centennial commission was created by congress in 2017 to ensure suitable observance of the centennial of the passage and ratification of the 19th amendment to the constitution to provide for women's suffrage. it is led by susan collins, and a bipartisan group of women leaders. they have welcomed us, truly welcomed us and embraced us,

the woodrow wilson house in washington, d.c. hosted this as part of a series commemorating the 100th anniversary of women gaining the right to vote. >>> welcome. good evening. i'm the executive director here at the woodrow wilson house. and it is really truly my pleasure to well you to the first of a series of speaking events that we're going to have on a suffrage series. so the wilson house if you haven't been here before it's part of the national trust for historic preservation. wilson and his wifeedeth lived in this house and edith turned it over to the national trust upon her death and it's been lovingly cared for until tonight. i wanted to tell you about this speaker series. said to me this summer when i first started there is a commission on the suffrage and i think we should go to that meeting. it is the womens suffrage centennial commission, and i said, okay, i'm going to go with you. and so we went down to the library of congress and we sat at a big table and there were about 20 women in the room. it was a big square ta

you might think, what is the connection with woodrow wilson and harriet tubman? tonight we want to explore the life and work of harriet tubman. he's obviously one of the most famous women, people, african-americans in u.s. history. but we thought it would be interesting to explore one of her lesser known legacies which is her role not just for women's suffrage and supporting that movement but also for women's rights more broadly. we'll get into conversation about that. i'll start first, ms. hill, your mic should be on. most of us are familiar with harriet tubman, the leader of the underground railroad, the moses of her people who brought enslaved people from the south to the north seeking freedom and emancipated herself. but looking back to the women's suffrage movement and understanding that the seneca falls convention happened in 1848, harriet tubman was still enslaved in maryland. after the war, harriet tubman would aid the cause of women's suffrage with the very leaders who convened at seneca falls as well as with african-american women's clubs. so considerin

you didn't cross wilson more than once. it was simply because wilson felt once we had gone to war that sort of speech, telling people not to go to war, that was sedition to him. he said as long as i am in charge of 2 million people in their lives i cannot let anyone speak out against them and that is why he was just in transit on the subject. >> doors, you answered part of this question when he said no one is perfect, no president is perfect. i've written of book called [inaudible] and deals with aggressive's and their relationship with race and most of them had poor records in my estimations especially woodrow wilson but you mentioned tr in the roughriders and that could very easily be called teddy roosevelt and the buffalo soldiers and as many black soldiers were really in puerto rico as whites. woodrow wilson, my gosh, he set race back numbers of years and he wanted to go back pre- reconstruction. would you comment on each of those? >> no, i agree that theodore roosevelt one point had a symbolic gesture where he had invi

he punished kyren wilson for every mistake he made. we expected kyren wilson to come out of the blocks like againstjudd trump and it didn't happen. 6—2 is a decent score line for anthony mcgill. not where we expected the scoreline to be. not at all. kyren wilson was rightly so there is a favourite. it shows you there is a favourite. it shows you the importance of getting a good start. anthony mcgill settle down straightaway and made a lovely break in that set the tone for the first session. kyren wilson is chasing and is under pressure to have a good second session. when he be thinking about this a lot overnight? the second session is tomorrow so he will have a lot of time. the tables have turned and he is the underdog and we will see how anthony mcgill reacts to being the favourite. protecting a lead enough matches sometimes difficult. you have to be not looking too far ahead or looking over your shoulder. it will be interesting to see how both players react to the second session. sections two and three can be important. ronnie o'su

in british gymnastics, it doesn't get much bigger than nile wilson. nile wilson! the yorkshireman becoming an olympic medallist in the rio games. in recent weeks, he has seen his spirit engulfed by a flood of allegations of mistreatment, and now he has decided to speak out, telling me gymnastics has serious issues to address. i would absolutely describe it as a culture of abuse. and i have lived and breathed it for 20 years, dan. it's emotional manipulation and being pushed through physical pain was certainly something i experienced. the gymnasts are still, in my opinion, treated like pieces of meat. would you say that you were abused yourself? i would say that i was abused. but we wanted to win medals. we wanted to win olympic medals. the governing body wanted to win olympic medals. the coaches wanted to win olympic medals. in a statement, british gymnastics said... earlier this year, wilson made a complaint over an altercation with a senior member of staff at a social event at leeds gymnastics club. it did not relate to his training or coaching staff. following

but sergeant terry wilson was focussing on narcy. he knew he didn't have enough to charge her with her husband's death, at least not yet. she had an alibi for the assumed time of the murder. the case against her was circumstan shall. then out of nowhere, an unanimous letter fluttered on to the desk of a detective 1,000 miles away from the crime scene. miami springs, florida, investigators, gary personally knew nothing of the ben novak case and his department wasn't involved. >> there's people obviously that heard the name and knew about him, the fontainebleau and all. i wasn't one of them. i didn't know anything about it until i talked to detective wilson in new york. >> the letter, written in spanish, was nothing less than a blueprint to the murder. naming names, siting motivations. >> this is shocking and it could be a big break. >> sergeant wilson up in west chester couldn't wait to see it. >> whoever wrote this letter obviously had information, inside information. >> looking back, that letter had the whole story. the greed, inher

trailing by four frames, overnight, the world number one got it back to 11—9 before wilson pulled clear and he‘ll now play anthony mcgill in the last four. trump had been hoping to break the so—called curse by becoming the only first—time winner to retain his title since the tournament moved to its current venue, in sheffield, in 1977.

so that starts to get wilson's attention, because of the spouses that are coming to complain to wilson about the treatment. but there were also working-class women, like i said, with and who worked in factories, women who worked in education, that would travel across the united states to come, or particularly for alice paul, participate in the pickets. theother question was about antecedents to the women's suffrage movement, and the caller is absolutely correct that. there are at least two movements that are antecedents to the women's suffrage movement. first earlier was the abolition movement. many of the early suffragists g ained their organizational, political skills, how to give a speech, how to write a speech, how to write an article for a newspaper, all through the abolition movement, and then temperances also the to princ movement and the temperance union, which was the major organization. now, that too has of the major organizations, carrie catt and alice powell, they were sympathetic to the temperance movement, but they tried to keep it separate from the women's suffrage movem

the kaiser wilson banner? there we go. >> kaiser wilson. >> take the beam out of your own eye. right? these women were not backing down from the idea the that wartime was a time which they might lose sympathy. >> yes. >> but they were not in fact breaking laws when arrested arrested for something completely made up. something called obstructing the traffic on the sidewalk, which is not a thing. >> i want you to talk about how they made the most out of being arrested. >> well, first of all, just for women to picket they chose -- women volunteered in droves until the arrests began. and then black women like mary trish be terrell and her daughter and working women and mothers stopped picketing when the arrests got serious, because they couldn't interrupt their lives in that with. but from january until april, really january until inauguration, the first batch of picketing. 1917. march was inauguration at that time. it was just so -- shocking that women would hold picket signs no matter how well dressed and put together and matronly, college delegations, whatever it was. that ay lo

he actually never met with woodrow wilson. didn't actually attend the proceedings, but envisioned the pan-african conference he organized as kind of a shadow congress if you will to make it clear that representatives needed to take seriously the concerns of people, especially as it related to germany's colonial territories and how they were going to be reappropriated, but also ensure that rights of african peoples in the former german territories would be respected. >> my question kind of refers back to two questions ago and it's the relationship with the french troops. here in the museum we have on display an artifact called the red hand insignia that members of the 93rd division got to wear, a french shoulder patch. could you shed some additional light on was that a common practice to allow african-american troops to wear such insignias. as i understand it, they were required to take that off as they must ired out of war? >> right the 93rd division was a provisional division. it was composed of national guardsmen, predominan

joe wilson, bbc news. lewis hamilton has won formula one's spanish grand prix and in doing so has broken the record set by michael schumacher for the most podium finishes. it is the 156th time that hamilton has had a top—three finish. and it was a comfortable win, with the british driver 24 seconds ahead of max verstappen. after the race, hamilton said he was so focussed he hadn't realised he was on the final lap! he is now 37 points ahead in the driver's standings as he aims for a record equalling seventh world title. the second cricket test between england and pakistan is heading for a draw after rain disrupted play on day four. with just one hour's play today, england bowled pakistan out for 236. before the wicket of rory burns fell in the opening over of their first innings reply. england are 7—1 and have a 1—0 lead in the series. there's more on the bbc sport website, including news of the final game of rugby union's first weekend back since lockdown, where wasps beat northampton saints in the p

ian wilson never were close. wilson -- he and wilson were never close. wilson had not supported him in earlier elections. the two did not really trust each other. wilson was an intellectual, and william jennings bryan was not. the two were not close. william jennings bryan became secretary of state in large part because a political opponent at that time was not at all unusual when the leading figure in the party was not the nominee. in many ways, he expected to be secretary of state. one of the reasons he was unhappy as secretary of state is because he did not get the kind of responsibility would have wanted. but one thing he did do, of which showed his views about war and peace, he convinced foreign powers to sign peace treaties with one another saying they would not go to war. these were pretty much symbolic, but he gave each of them a little bronze plaque with a line from isaiah about plowshares as a symbol of the trees. in the and, of course, the treaties did not stop world war i. as a christian, showing his humanitarian face to the world was one way

right, it is woodrow wilson. the democrats struggled for some time and bryan had led much of the struggle against the republican party. and for the votes of working people and the broad middle class. republicans were able to co-opt through many of the issues that they have brought forward and develop their agenda as a progressive party. theodore roosevelt was master of this. bryan and the democrats had a difficult time reaching that broad middle class and convincing voters that they could bring progressive change, not radical change, but progressive change. wilson was able to do that. he was a professor at princeton. he had been governor of new jersey. he was a very moderate reformer but a progressive reformer. he was able to succeed where bryan was not. >> the only reason woodrow wilson won was because the republican party split. taft proved not to be a progressive successor to teddy roosevelt. roosevelt did not think so, and roosevelt tried to wrestle the nomination away from taft, and then becomes the nominee

wilson walker is live at fairgrounds in san jose with the latest on this. wilson? >> still seeing some 275 positive tests a day, santa clara county is expanding its testing capacity. with the region's first large scale testing site now on track to become one of the largest in the state. we started here as really ground zero for covid in the united states. and six months in, we're still fighting. >> they were still painting the stripes on the grthis morning. but cars were lined up and ndou re ady to come in when the gate opened at noon. short of dodgers stadium, this could become one of the largest testing sites in california in terms of testing capacity. >> probably at 500 today. 1,000 by the end of the week. and 5,000 down the road a little bit. >> and not only will we be providing covid tests, but we anticipate that in the future, we'll also be able to provide flu shots, which are going to be incredibly important for protecting all of us this fall and winter. as well as our dream of having a covid vaccine. this is a place where we can do that too. >> while it is
