a grandson of irish immigrants from a family that self identified as irish and catholic working-class. we know later on that his father was an irish all, he was italian and german. but they self identified as irish. you can look into the footnotes if you want to dig into that. he lost his father in the eighth compelled to leave school and go to work full-time to support his family. for several years, this kid worked 12 hour days, starting at 4 a.m. as a checker at the fulton fish market. later on he would joke that his an ffm,demic degree was standing for the fulton fish market. the other universal element on al smith's lower east side was at the tammany hall medical machine. as -- political machine. as a young man, he became acquainted with saloon keeper foley.eler dealer tom under fully's tutelage, smith rose through the ranks of the infamous machine and by 1903, thanks to his faithfulness, fully cement young's -- fully said smith-- foley legislator. he voted the party line, he didn't give a single speech. he was ignored, he was overwhelmed, but he grew into the job. so much so that

mostly irish catholic, some german catholic, from the kansas city area. they were known to be feisty. they had been under several commanders before truman. displayed hishe sense of leadership. eventually they came to respect him as a fairly quiet but confident captain of their battery. one of the more interesting pieces in this show is this double barber's chair. there was a barber for battery d. his name was frank. europe from camp donovan and used it in the field to cut the battery's hair. when frank returned to kansas city, he opened a barbershop and truman became his regular customer essentially for the rest of his life. truman was sent to france along the front lines in france mostly valley, where most of the fighting took place. his first big challenge, once he was given command was what has come to be known as the battle of who run. late summer, early fall of 1918. field just moved his pieces into position. they had fired off a volley. they were getting ready to move them again, when the germans fired back and their shells landed all around. most o

trish: i said to the viewers, i grew up in an irish-catholic family. a democrat and you were irish and you were catholic. you were born that way. but i think there are a lot of people who grew up like that who feel like the democratic party left them. >> donald trump is president because of that. in the midwest, michigan, pennsylvania, ohio, wisconsin. states that went to trump, it was working class voters like your family that went to trump. and it's the real crisis of my party, democrats, that they lost the play by the rules decent people. trish: i feel like it's the middle class that keeps getting squeezed. they think they are doing everything right and working multiple jobs, saving their money, trying to pay for their children's education. they don't get the handout you get if you are on the bottom. they can't benefit from the market equity uptick. they don't have that opportunity. how do we help them in the middle? a good example. you want to send your kid to college. you don't qualify for the scholarship because you are caught in the middle becau

so irish catholic and became, as you know to the united states and when they arrived there were no signs, help wanted no irish need apply. and there was a lot of discrimination against the irish in our own country. and my grandmother rose kennedy made my family very well aware of that discrimination. my grandfather joe kennedy left boston because of that discrimination and moved to new york because he thought he couldn't really make his way in boston, even though his father- in-law had been the mayor of the city. you could get ahead in politics, but you can get ahead in business. and my father, when he was at college, i say this because many of you know, my uncle john kennedy became the first catholic to be elected president, but he did it during a very tough time and there was a lot of discrimination. billy graham, who just died and norman vincent peele, who many of you may never have heard of but wrote the power of positive thinking wrote a letter in that 1960 campaign to say we should not elect john kennedy president of the united states because he would be controlled by the pope. and

and between the irish catholics and the african americans, john kennedy won the election of 1960. when my uncle john kennedy heard daddy kings speech, i'll vote for a catholic or the devil himself, he realized oh, my god, martin luther king has somebody who's prejudiced as a father, which is kind of ironic, don't you think? but then he said, but we all have fathers. >> most of them are prejudiced. >> not that they're all prejudiced but my grandfather always did have a good reputation and some of the things which were not going to get into right now. okay. i wanted to lay the groundwork that it's kind of, when you talk about discrimination, there are all sorts of ins and outs of discrimination. and it goes in all different ways. when president kennedy then became president, announced that my father, his brother, was attorney general, people were as you can imagine horrified he would appoint your own brother attorney general. but as my uncle said, he needs a little legal experience before he goes into the world. [laughing] some of you are not laughing at that either. [laughing] most
