brian: bill strauss, what does g.i. stand for? william: the g.i. generation were the fist g.i. joes, as the missionary general marshall described them, the best damn kids in the world from world war ii. we remember them storming on the shore at iwo jima and normandy. america first met them with charles lindbergh and walt disney and the first boy and girl scouts that america ever had. these were team players and good kids, smart kids, a little unlike the lost generation bad kids of just a couple of decades before. they felt their major brush with history and with heroism when young, and coming out of the war they felt a huge generational sling shot, which energized them and the country. they have since then held the presidency of the united states longer than any other generation in our history, from president kennedy through bush, and they also, upon entering elderhood, found themselves attacked by the boom generation, and have since then separated into a senior citizen community. we never before used the term senior citizen widely until we associated that kind of busy optimist

there's no better return on investment than the g.i. bill.ess outcomes for our -- imagine a recruiter sitting in a mall somewhere trying to convince a private to join the army. he says we're going to need you to maybe fight in syria. by the way, $100 a month for your g.i. bill. how is that going to go over in mainstream america? >> i'm just embarrassed. >> we should all be embarrassed. you're right, i and hope people call their congressmen. let them know this is dead on arrival. >> thank you for joining us. >> thank you, ma'am. appreciate it. >>> i want to say something for the record. this is also disgraceful. it's when corporations bamboozle us. take us last week when the united airlines ceo apologized sort of for having, quote, reacom da reaccommoda reaccommodated the passenger who was han manleds. meanwhile he sent an internal memo blaming that passenger. that's lousy, but it's worse when our taxpayer-funded government joins corporate america and plays us. now, you also know that wells fargo got caught red handed secretly setting up milli

combination of both pro- and prebiotic supplement strains to nurture the friendly bacteria in your g.ipush out the harmful stuff in your gut. >> but what do you mean by "the right combination"? >> so, here's the problem with much of what we see advertised, when it comes to probiotics. the probiotics that they use in their formulas simply cannot change the composition of bacteria in your digestive tract enough to make any significant real difference. these products often end up being just a waste of your money. >> but why don't they work? >> well, it's because the traditional formulas they've been selling use probiotic strains that are very fragile -- too fragile to really be effective. they must be kept cold, and literally begin to die off even at room temperature, and even more quickly when they enter the harsh, acidic environment of your stomach, long before they can provide any real benefits. >> so, that's why so many probiotics require refrigeration. >> correct. but refrigeration only takes care of the heat issue. the majority still die off in your stomach acid before they can real

we use the #defend the g.i. bill. you'll hear stories from veterans saying keep your hands offer our g.i. bill. especially in a time of war it's off limits. if we're going to send people to war we should pay for our g.i. bill and not nickel and dime them. >> that's where you and i disagreed last week. you talked about the cost. i think it's a shameful we don't take care of our vets that way. i'm embarrassed. i don't get to the economic -- you're right, but i'm just too embarrassed that we would do that to the g.i.s. that's all. >> so are americans of all political backgrounds. you saw politicians from both sides making strong statements to stand with us. and we got to make sure they don't try this again. last year they tried to cut it by $3 billion. now they're trying a fee or a tax. there have been these ideas before. we think they're politically radioactive and it's good to see the american public has our back. we also need them to have our back on other issues like suicide. we have a bill in the senate that will ho

there was the vietnam era g.i. bill. then the post-9/11 g.i. bill. have some commonalty of 36 months of coverage, up to ten years after you served. some of the later investigations of this had a military pay contribution toward your educational program. but raising it now, when the troops have been deployed time and time again, you're talking about some of the ground troops, lea, have five and six deployments to combat zones, and we're riding these kids hard and putting them to bed wet. now is not the tile to add a tax on to their programs. lea: you know, the people who are proponents of this say that they need to fix the g.i. bill program, make it better. well, as you mentioned, these are the young people who sign up to face our enemies on the battlefield. they sign up during a time of war. i think it is time to fix the g.i. bill and find the money somewhere else. captain chuck nash, thank you very much. >> my pleasure, lea. david: you make a good point. reality of socialism hitting hard down south. how the escalating violence in venezuela could cau

bill: a g.i. bill after world war ii. would you consider that a reward? taken advantage mostly by civilians at the time, would you consider that a military will welfare program? jennifer: i would. i would consider it a military welfare program. not on the sense that it served active duty personnel. in my own research, it is more about active duty benefits. but it comes out of military setting, and it is quite certainly a social welfare program. long before i or other scholars were talking about a military welfare state, many scholars had looked at the g.i. bill is a as a really important for a social provision in the united states. i think a lot of people are not aware that when fdr and his cabinet were first considering how to reward american citizens for their massive mobilization in world war ii, they had first considered something that was actually going to be applicable to all citizens. because so many people had relocated, take in wartime jobs, -- moved, relocated, taken wartime jobs, been deprived of their husbands or sons or fathers. and the first

home, but it was our 750 g.i. home. suddenly it was like paradise. and i remember six years after we left finally being able to get back there. as one of the happiest days of my life. but it helps me to understand the importance of just having aa place where you feel secure, a place where you know that there are people who love you. and it's something that we really need to start thinking about more in our country there are three to four times as many people in this country in need of low income housing that, or affordable housing, that we can provide. it's a matter of supply and demand, and the demand as much greater than the supply, so what's happening? the prices keep going up. and now there are millions of people who pay 35, 40, even 50% or more of what they earn for housing. that's an untenable situation. and that's an area where i think government can be helpful, particularly in partnership with the private sector and the faith community. and i will say bit more about that in a moment, bu but i knowa lot of people are very, very concerned about

about this guy who came back from iraq and the up any of the american soldier, perfect g.i. she's telling me about the story i mike i enjoy a good war story. what the guys aims? lolly gas. the guy is served interact. he's one of the biggest airbags in the entire unit. i call up a buddy of mine and say you won't believe this. this is what they're saying about him. my buddy says let's go burn this guys house down. there were just this aspect of people coming home and a lot of real heroes in the military, great guys and heroes but there's guys that chase ribbons, fight for a bit of colored ribbon and it happens. the instance he's talking about interact was me into buddies were nominated for the wards and we didn't want the words. we don't want to stand up there and look like idiots. when you have to stand up and get your participation trophy, not, we don't want to do this. on the other side, your people that were petitioning to change military regulations so they can get an award because something happened that they didn't qualify for. everyone wanted a combat action badge. the

try to answer that question so the first part of your museum experiences hearing from the american g.i. who asked that question which is how is it that human beings can do this to one another, and throughout the exhibition we keep bringing back what american new and when america knew it. >> the centennial of the entry into the great war from the national world war i museum and memorial in kansas city missouri. at 2:00 p.m., david mccullough on how the founders valued education, viewed slavery and persevered in the face of hardship. >> the first seven presidents of the united states, john adams was the only one who never owned a slave. that was out of principle, and not because he couldn't afford it. abigail feelings about it were even more strongly voiced than his. >> at eight, on the presidency, university of virginia presidential scholar barbara. talks about the traits of a great president. >> the sign of a good leader is a leader who is self-confident but not arrogant. so confident in his own leadership and in his intellect that he didn't worry about having really smart people aroun

it was just a 750-foot g.i. home. but it was our 750 foot g.i. home. it was like paradise. i remember six years after we left, finally being able to get back there. it was one of the happiest days of my life. it helps me to understand the importance of just having a place where you feel secure. a place where you know that there are people who love you. and that is something that we really need to start thinking about more in our country. three 24 times four people in this country -- there are 3-4 times as many people in this country that need affordable housing then we can provide. it is a matter of supply and demand and the demand is much greater than the supply so what happens? the price keeps going up. and now there are millions of 35-40-even 50% more than -- of what they earn housing. that is an untenable situation in hand that is an area in which i think government can be helpful. particularly in partnership with faithivate sector and the community. and i will say more about that in a moment. but i know a lot of people are very, very concerned about the new budget numb

kind of like the g.i. bill.oey jones. thanks for joining us. good to see you. >> good morning. ainsley: good morning. all right. what do you think about this where veterans have to pay in let's say 100 bucks a month so they can go to college and they do that for two years? >> well, first off, let me say that the biggest issue bar none affecting our veterans today is transition. it's not just the injuries. it's not just, you know, post-traumatic stress or physical injury. i'm an amputee. biggest issue in veteran community is transitioning. spend three months teaching them tore be a service member. six month six month deployment training. we spend 7 to 14 days training them to be a civilian again. that's where we need to focus. the goal here should be to help veterans transition into the civilian sector successfully. and we're not going to cut our way to a balanced budgets with $2,400 on every service member that finds their way into college. with that i will say too many service members are using the gi bill as a

soledad: 33 and eligible for the g.i. bill, fadley came home. he studies film at usc.is thesis is called "into the trenches," and it focuses on his struggle with ptsd. doctor: depression on a scale of 1-10? jake: three. doctor: anxiety on a scale of 1-10? jake: seven. soledad: he hopes research will one day help him explain what caused those symptoms. jake: it makes you feel like you're not crazy. you can point to something to someone else and say, "do you see this? this thing did it." soledad: fadley didn't get treatment for his ptsd until he was involved in a terrible car crash. he drove into the path of an oncoming train by accident. he recovered and is now finishing his film on ptsd and getting treatment. announcer: next on "matter of fact." she was a medic, nursing the wounded. >> they're literally holding their jaw because they just got hit in the face with a rocket. announcer: who will help this caregiver find the healing she needs? and later -- soledad: it might gross you out. but donating your brain is easy. announcer: would you donate for the cause? soledad:

. >> that's the best g.i. joe i've ever seen. >> i know. totally real. >>> if it weren't for the cameras that record these videos, you'd never believe what happens in these two situations. this first one is security camera from inside a restaurant. you can see that it's closed. you see one of the windows being hit, broken, and as soon as there's a hole large enough -- >> oh, no. >> reports say this is a molotov cocktail that someone has just tossed into this establishment, but notice what happens on the other side of the glass. that person is also on fire. >> yeah. you see that is very common when it comes to us and the people that complete rank amateurs and they often go looking at the local hospitals for people with burns. you know, that's where you're going to find them. >> that's exactly what police are looking for. they're still looking for this person. and they're asking for any leads especially if you spot someone who has severe burns. this next video is from russia. you see this man walking into a location. there is a woman behind a

the first part of your museum experiences hearing from that american g.i.sked the big question, how is it that human beings can do this to one another? and throughout the exhibition we keep bringing back what america and win american new it and how did america respond to it or not thei have two plugs because 25th anniversary is opening and we will open an exhibit on america and the nazi threat that deals with this topic. mr. simon: alice, let me get you to talk a bit about the significance of your museum's location. there were a lot of plans in the aftermath when people could try their eyes and think things through a bit about exactly what should happen to that ground which had been in a sense hallowed and consecrated already. pres. greenwald: absolutely. because we are located at the site of the atrocity, one of the locations of the attacks, it is more like being a museum in a .attleground, a battlefield there is a sense of consecration. there is a sense of sacred space. the pools you saw literally sit within the footprints of the twin towers. they are abo

then my father, fresh out of the -- and world war ii was able to go to college on the g.i. bill. i was born he was in college. my parents married at 20 and admit 21. that he was acknowledging the cafeteria floor. the only member of the lodge family to the to college. then he became a high school teacher and a professor in syracuse. so we moved into the new sector economy. in my own life i experienced all of these transitions in human history. i think it has given me an incentive to change. i am saying that the country woman were more powerful than any feminist. they were physically powerful. literally in the period before our washers and dryers. everyone did laundry by hand. i can remember my grandmother watching the back porch with a washboard. these women were powerful and had big voices and big attitudes. i mean once of my father was in new york we lived in the upper floor of a farmhouse. there was again hilarious moment. my father was out with his brother and they were smoking a cigarette. and the form woman yelled at them. i had escaped from the barn. and she said stop her!

from conflict and depravation, largely without meat or fresh ingredients, this was the gift of the g.ian war lasted from 1950 to 1953, but in many ways it never ended. the country is split in half and in a constant state of alert. a hundred twenty miles to the north, a bughouse crazy dictator with an enormous standing army, a bad haircut, and a nuclear arsenal. this, we know. but the war, in dividing a country, and a culture, also divided families. altered forever, the korean character. chef king biryong early experience working the mess hall during his mandatory military service lead directly to superstardom. now, from this unassuming us army surplus tent, he beams his cooking show live into more than fifty thousand homes a day. via something called, the internet. and he's not the only one, there's competition. lots of it. mokbang means "broadcast eating." it's kind of a phenomenon in korea. which is how, i suppose, i wound up in a tent on the outskirts of seoul. >> choi: tony, hello! >> anthony: hi, how you doing? all right. >> choi: tony. >> anthony: yeah, right here? all right. >>

we are investing in public bill, roads g.i. and bridges and international highway systems.nare investing in research, a giant pipeline of ideas that help us build a robust economy. here's the deal -- it worked. it so worked. that is the part that gives me goosebumps. 1980, 90% of america -- everybody outside the top 10%, theof all of america, working-class, the working poor, the poor poor -- and that 90% of america got 70% of all of the wage growth created in this country. but, the rich did better, the pie got bigger. everyone was doing better. look, it wasn't perfect. african-americans were locked solidly at the bottom. but the idea of opportunity had taken hold. in the 1960's and 1970's, the gap, which wealth has been as long as we have measured, it shrinks by 30%. we are not where we need to become about we are on a good path. then we get hit, in 1980. trickle-down economics, ronald reagan. deregulating turned corporations loose, less enforcement of antitrust laws, told the banks to have a good time. and cut taxes for those at the top. once you cut taxes for those at the

conducted our own people to get them into the middle class to resent the generation to college through the g.i bill, we encourage ownership, invested in infrastructure like highways which was created jobs and growth. and we put into place programs will help lift up the poor. medicare, medicaid, head start. in this era, economic inequality simply became less of an issue. now, i know some of you been probably thinking from the very start, you've been objecting. but what about women? what about african-american women? how do you possibly coexist with the reality of deep inequality between these groups and across these groups? in the book i distinguish between two traditions. the first is my been talking to you about so far. it is the church tradition -- it is the tradition of inequality but it leaves open a question, who is in the political community? and that has been fiercely contested including vibrantly contested in our history. but over time we can also call the tradition of inclusion which is expanded the political inclusion with women and minorities. i think the key thing to think about is

g.i. bill to thank returning soldiers from the world war ii. we invested in public education, k through 12. we invested in state universities. why do we make all these investments in education? because we believed that if you got an education, you could do anything. that was -- we believed that. we invested in infrastructure. roads, national highway, transportation, bridges, power. power to rural america. why? because we didn't know what the next great business would be but we were pretty darn sure you'd need electricity, right? you'd need road sods so you could get to market and your work erred can get to you. so we made the investments together so those good businesses could degree here in america and those good jobs could grow here in america. and the third thing we did -- this is what is so remarkable. >> we invested in research. medical research, scientific research, engineering research, and behavioral sciences research, all kinds of research. why? because we believed in the future. we didn't know what that resign that research would prov

g.i. bill, does it help the middle class.highways, do they help the middle class, does it create jobs here in america. then we hit 1980, regarding, trickle down -- ronald reagan trickle down economics, deregulate, let the banks run wild and taxation, cut taxes for those at the top and shrink up investment we make in education and infrastructure and research. 1980 to 2016, gdp keeps going up just like it did before. the difference is what happens to the 90%? how much do they get of the new income growth? the answer, none. zero, zip. nearly 100% of the growth in new income goes to the top 10%. the black-white wealth gap triples in this period of time. america's middle class has taken one punch after another. now, donald trump is poised to deliver the knockout blow. and so i wrote this book partly to tell the story, partly to tell why it happened, how it happened but partly to say, this is how we get back in the fight because we have to be in this fight. this fight is our fight. it's a fight for what kind of country we are. >> t

spending more than $250,000 a month in g.i.ition assistance payments. >> there was no obligation to give this money, it didn't have to give this money. somebody made a proactive decision to authorize, this move it forward and why not cut it off? >> reporter: new photos show how deep the ties may go. chen showed pictured in uniform, salutes her father's grave. he was a senior general in the people's liberation army . >> he was supposedly participated in the long march. that gives her credentials not unlike being an officer in the continental army. >> reporter: he has studied in china for 15 years. >> why would a school like the university of management and technology be attractive to the chinese military. >> you get a curated database. you're not just getting a huge database of a lot of americans, you're getting a database of people who are interesting to you, people who work for the u.s. military, who have access to sensitive technologies. this might serve as a vehicle for recruiting individuals. >> reporter: multiple sources t

michelle, i didn't play with barbies or transformers. [ laughter ] >>> i played with g.i. joe and transformers. they were so much fun. transformers that's what's trending today. we know the next transformers movie will not be the last one. in a recent interview with mtv the director said 14, 14, future transformer movies have already been written. the flex one in the franchise is scheduled to hit -- the next one in the franchise is scheduled to hit theaters in june. the next one is a spinoff focusing on the bubble bee character. >>> if you need an excuse to drink wine, here you go. the new study finds that wine is good for your brain. researchers at yale say it does more for the brain than listening to music, hitting a baseball or solving a math problem. it works because smelling and drinking wine engages the entire brain. but to get the full been fits, they say you have to sip rather than gulp. >>> and soccer players they get plenty of exercise and they especially got it when they tried to catch a dog to ran on to the pitch. it happened during a match in the uk. >> hey, j

and then my father, fresh out of the paratroopers in world war ii, was able to go to college on the g.i. bill. i was born while he was in college. my parents married at 20 and had me at 21, so he was like mopping the cafeteria floor, the only member of his large family to go to college. then he became a high school teach and then a professor -- teacher and then a professor in syracuse. so we moved into the new service sector economy. so i had, in my own life i've experienced all these transitions in human history. so i think it's given me a kind of insight into change. now, what i'm saying in the book is that those women, the country women were more powerful, okay, than any feminist, okay? they were physically powerful, literally, in that period before automatic washers and dryers. everyone did laundry by hand. i can remember my grandmother washing on the back porch with a washboard, okay? they were powerful, like this. and these women had big voices, okay, and big attitudes. i mean, once when my father was teaching high school in the small farming town of oxford, new york, we lived for

how he is the epitome of an american soldier, this perfect g.i. and she's telling about the story. unlike i enjoy a good war story i enjoy heroes. and that's what is his name? and she says it's -- nicely a hero but these are the biggest drug resident unit here's a public buddy of mine is in you not going to believe this. this is what they're saying about him. i put my foot in the first premise that cost down back and i said let's you know it just was comically welcome home and there's a lot of real heroes. there are a lot of great guys in the military. and there are also hesitation ribbons, fight for a bit of colored ribbon. it happens. the instant he is talking about iraq is a bunch of you but it's worth like we don't want these awards. we don't stand up there but it is churches that can stand up there and get your participation trophy. and on the other side you have people that are dishing to change ontario regulation or. because they do not qualify for. everyone wanted a action badge and vessel ever wanted to lie about. and you know, when something exploded but it was an unexplo

it is interesting because it was mostly world war i veterans that crafted the g.i. bill that would help world war ii veterans readjust better. you see the men and women who supported them learning from their experience and seeing the tragedies they witnessed and trying to figure out better ways for the next generation of the military to cope with them. susan: our thanks to allison and mitch. this rare footage shot by members of the army signal corps during actual battle in world war i that we have been able to bring to you today on "reel america" on american history tv. mitchell: thank you. allison: thank you so much. 19100 years ago on april 6, 17, president woodrow wilson signed a declaration of war against germany, entering the united states into world war i. more than 4 million american men and women would serve in uniform, and more than 100,000 americans died in the conflict. the influx of u.s. resources change the tide of the global war, bringing it to a close on november 11, 1918. to mark the 100th anniversary of what was then known as the great war, american

so the first part of your museum experience is hearing from the american g.i. who asked that question which is how is it that human beings can do this to one another? and then throughout the exhibition we keep bringing back what american new and when america knew it. >> sent at 10:00 a.m. eastern the centennial of america's entry into the great war.from the national world war i museum and memorial in kansas city missouri. and at 2:00 p.m. pulitzer prize finance historian david mccullough how the founders valued education slavery and. >> the first seven presidents of the us john adams was the only one who never owned a slave. out of principal. not because he could not necessarily afford one. and abigail's feelings about where even more strongly voiced than his. press the edit clock on the presidency. university of virginia presidential scholar barbara perry talks about the traits of a great president. >> the son of a good leader is a leader who is so confident but not arrogant. so confident in his own leadership and intellect that he did not worry about having r

so then my father fresh out of the -- after world war ii was able to go to college with the g.i.bill. my parents admit 21 so he was mopping the cafeteria floor. the only member of his large family to go to college. and he became a schoolteacher and a professor at lemoyne college in syracuse. so we moved into the new service sector economy. in my own life, experience all of these transitions in human history. so i think it has given me a kind of insight into change. what i sang in the book is that the country woman, were more powerful than any feminist. they were literally in that. before automatic washers and dryers. and when did laundry by hand. often remember my grandmother watching on the back porch with the washboard. there were powerful like this. and these women had big voices. and big attitudes. i mean once my father was teaching high school in the small farming town of oxford, new york have lived on the upper floor of the farmhouse. there was a hilarious moment. my father was out with his brother. they were sitting outside smoking a cigarette and some lady, the form woman

indeed, the answer elites aspects to the interpretation of g.i. isis terrorists hate terror so much they have suicide squads of elites who go around killing themselves. modern world is a scary world. fear is a bad schoolmarm. we have got a monster of the blackboard and how can people in the democratic countries learn even the one plus one fundamentals of democracy when all they can think of is yeah, their tentacles growing out of the head. what happens is the pupils in that class turn for help with the big stupid bully at the back of the classroom. that is, donald trump. so, that is all i know. [laughter] if you have some questions.
