he is here to read from his book, the trial of adolf hitler. the trial of adolf hitler: the beer hall putsch and the rise of nazi germany. this -- calls david's new work and astute work of scholarship and business narrative and meticulously researched instructive work with great relevance for right wing resurgence. the writer of the book the good shepard says that david's new book is ominous and an observing detailed account -- those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. please let us welcome who with this writing and research, make us remember. david king. >> wow, thank you very much. thank you for that warm welcome. thank you for coming out here today and being here. can everyone hear me okay? i'm used to roaming when i talk. i'll try to stand behind here and be chain to the podium and see how that goes. i want to make sure everyone could hear me. thank you very much for coming out today, it's a pleasure for me to be here. we are coming up the publisher was going to book their tickets. and i was like no no will make it a ro

in 1923, adolf hitler led an attempted coup which was known as the beer hall putsch. -- if there wascted that's been nine months in prison where he took this time to write them mein kampf. >> hello could you hear me? good evening everyone, just a bit of housekeeping. please silence all of your cellphones, we don't want them to ring while david king is talking. also, we have c-span filming us. so later, during the question and answer portion, if you would please go to the mic on this side so you can

okay so imagine for a moment, catching adolf hitler alive. and hauling him into the courtroom and putting him on trial for his crimes. at least part of his crimes. this is sometimes a dream, sometimes a fantasy and many novels have been written about this. well, it actually happened in february 26 1924. nine years before hitler came to power. hitler entered the courtroom in munich to stand trial for high treason and this is because a few months ago, in november 1923 hitler head stormed into a crowded beer hall, and fired a pistol into the air, and declared a national revolution had begun. but i had not yet begun, instead hitler eventually was arrested. after hiding out and actually staying in the attic, of german american woman. who lived an incredible memoir. who this was the so-called beer hall -- . and hitler had become a laughing stock in many circles and his career looked almost over and even at one point they wrote an obituary on the nazi party. the new york times announced hitler's career being over. and probably should have been over.

who is going to argue a case for the neo-nazis, to march through the jewish section of town, on adolf hitler'sthday and you know what the lawyer did? he did it. he argued it. he said everything the neo-nazis stand for discuss me. but it's not about them, it's about their right to do what, under the constitution? under the bill of rights? to march and to express their views. just because i don't like their views, doesn't mean they can't express them. he argued the case for them,. he won the case for them. then the neo-nazi party said, we're not going to march anyway. we will march in chicago. and they marched in chicago. again, give me an example recently where extreme right wing groups, wanted to meet together to demonstrate to assemble, and it turned violent and has ripped this country apart. yes sir. where? >> the black lives matter movement. >> okay black lives matter was involved but where did it sit? where did the fires burn? >> was in charlottesville virginia. >> that's it john, you got it that was two years ago? the neo-nazis, the other right wing group was there and what were they prot

the american nazi party files for a permit to march through skokie, illinois on adolf hitler's birthday. and to march through the jewish section of town, in full nazi uniforms. the city said, no, we are not giving you the permit, and the nazis said, you are violating our freedom of assembly, and on top of that, our freedom of speech, because on adolf hitler's birthday, you are expressing our political view. and it was denied. they sued. do you know at the american not the party did, they got the aclu, the american civil liberties union to defend them. the american civil liberties union is a very liberal group made up of lawyers, and they take cases that they feel are right and they argue in pro bono. they argue them for free. the nazis on the right go to the american civil liberties union on the left and they get a jewish lawyer. and they say to him, we want you to argue our case. a jewish lawyer who will argue the case to the neo-nazis to march through the jewish section of town on adolf hitler's birthday. and you know what the lawyer did, he argued it. he says everything the neo-nazis

could there have been a better option against adolf hitler? he probably would have come to power anyway, but had the u.s. state engaged in world affairs rather than retreating, it is a big open question which we will never know the answer of. but isolation, i don't think, is the answer. the world is a dangerous place and we need allies. that is what we learn from world war ii. the failure of the peace leads to the next war. we also have, in the summer of 1919, the nation's first red scare. not the 1940's or 1950's, but rather in 1919. this summer is known as the red summer. during world war i there was a great deal of inflation from 1916 to 1920 of roughly 100%, which means prices doubled. wages could not keep up thus in the summer there were strikes all over the country from the workers. they were demanding better pay. however, many people, considering the bolsheviks had just taken over russia, feared the communist had come to our shores and that the workers were going to turn red. this became known as the red summer. the picture you see here

could there have been a better opposite against that of adolf hitler's? had the u.s. stayed engaged in world affairs rather than retreating back to our own shores. he would have come to power anyways given how punitive the treaty of versailles was. it's a big open question we'll never know the answer to. isolation i don't think is the answer. the world is a dangerous place and we need allies and i think that's the lesson we learned from world war ii. that's one of the consequences of the war, the failure of the peace that leads to the next piece -- sorry, to the next war. we also have in the summer of 1919, the nation's first red scare. not in the 1940's or 1950's with mccarthyism, 1919. this summer is known as the red summer. during world war i, there was a great deal of inflation from 1916-1920, inflation was roughly 100%, which means prices doubled. of course, wages couldn't keep up with that. thus, in the summer of 1919, there were strikes all over the country from the workers and they were simply demanding better pay. many people, considering the bolsheviks had t

some of donald trump's supporters are nazis who believe that adolf hitler didn't kill enough jews.s nazi who supports donald trump invaded the capitol wearing a camp auschwitz hoodie in the hope of keeping his hero in the presidency. we don't know who he admires more, donald trump or adolf hitler, but we know he admires both of them. they both speak to him, and moved him to action on january 6th, action to which he faces federal prosecution. today, secretary of state tony blinken said this. >> my stepfather was just a boy when he lost his entire family to the nazis. he spent nearly four years in labor and death camps before he imagined to escape. the story made a deep impression on me. it taught me that evil on a grand scale can and does happen in our world. and that we have a responsibility to do everything we can to stop it. those lessons are as vital now as they've ever been, maybe more so. it's no accident that people who seek to create instability and undermine democracy often try to cast doubt on the holocaust. they want to blur the line between truth and lies. that's why it'

joseph stalin negotiated a treaty of nonaggression with adolf hitler while promising each other piece of the soviet in german foreign ministers molotov and ribbentrop realign the map of eastern europe splitting it into german and soviet spheres of influence. no sooner had the molotov ribbentrop pact been signed then poland was split and in september of 1939 eastern poland awoke to be western ukraine and a part of the family of soviet republics and the u.s.s.r. . but even this bold dividing of lands and nations only delayed the inevitable germany broke its promise to the u.s.s.r. . on june 22nd 1941 germany invaded the u.s.s.r. launching barbara rossa the largest military operation in world history. barbara was aiming for st petersburg moscow and kiev ukraine 3 destinations of major significance. ukraine with its rich lands in resources was an important industrial and economic source for the u.s.s.r. to cut it off from the soviet union would strike a big blow indeed. for most of the soviet union the 2nd world war was about fighting the invaders of their land. but it wasn't quite so sim

the munich meeting in the fall of 1938 between adolf hitler and prime minister chamberlain. france agreed to give czechoslovakia, and hibler said this is my last territorial demand. within a few months, hibler annexed all of czechoslovakia in preparing to invade poland. the impact on the u.s. was tremendous in terms of how we viewed foreign policy. in the 1930's, we had been an isolationist country, with the idea europe was somebody else's problem. disillusionment with world war i , a crusade gone sour, a perception strengthened concluded world war i was no one's fault and had no real purpose. it seemed that more was terrible. it never solved anything, that never again should we fight a war, and both sides were at fault, and this created a moral equivalence. the tendency to seek german claims as justified, and willing to cut a deal for peace. chamberlain was applauded on both sides of the atlantic. world war ii changed that for the u.s. munich became a code word for sellout. there was a feeling that u.s. had not been responsible, head not taken an active role, had not drawn

in 1933, nazi party leader, adolf hitler was appointed chancellor, and his government quickly transform germany's fragile democracy into dictatorship that persecuted jews and thousands of others, based on a racist ideology and which so-called areas were superior. leaders and average people here in the united states were becoming increasingly alarmed at germany's turn towards a violent police state. this made them weary of competing in the berlin games. against this backdrop, i would like to start with you, damien. can you tell us a little bit about the debate over whether the united states should participate in the berlin games? >> i think you are absolutely right. this became a serious point of contention, americans from the international -- sorry excuse, me the international olympic committee, the mature athletic union debated this, and they debated it vigorously, even taking trips to germany to see things for themselves. one of the leading figures in american sports was a supporter of the ideas of american participation, and in a very close vote, the american delegation decided to co

that was determined to be accurate by the german official who checked it at the time, that when adolf hitlermet romanian dictator until next to in munich on june 12th, 1941. he asked hitler, was to be done about the jews in the soviet territory that their armies were about to invade? an important issue for him since the area that would be seized initially was known to contain a very large number of jews. hitler told him that they were all to be killed. an instruction that the evidence indicates he had earlier or early given to him mueller. -- to himmler. we also now have a clear confirmation of the meeting before the invasion, at which a high ss official pulled the command of the group, the murder commandoes, that were to follow the german armies into the soviet union, that a major part of their assignment was to kill all the jews. i will come back to the source for this resolution of a subject that was once quite controversial. when i get to it at another point. all of the evidence we now have leaves no doubt that the commanders of the battalions of the police, units with members more than

about spending most of his radio commentary and his columns warning about the rising threat of adolf hitler and naziism, a thing that most people in england at the time were ignoring or poo pooing. reagan spent his wilderness years writing, doing radio commentary, warning about the rising threat of the soviet union. so, there's a lot of parallels between churchill's wilderness years and reagan's wilderness years. there are many, many issues we can get into later that -- it's sarin dip us to. it's like prop 13 in california, the panama canal treaties. other issues you were covering, i was involved with that come to the fore that help produced his election in 1980. that's why i wrote it. you know, doug brinkley, terrific historian and who edited "the reagan diaries" said that the realm of reagan scholarship is just beginning to open up. and i think every tomb i start to sit down to think about ronald reagan i think about a new aspect of his life, his career and his times that has been either underreported or hasn't been covered at all. >> so, let's get to put you in friendly territory behind

germany, they argue, historians do, that it contributed to the rise of nationalism and the rise of adolf hitleryou unroll that and you make some new arguments about whether the flu and its impact on wilson affected the treaty of versailles, if you go back and look at wilson and argue that maybe his having the flu affected his behavior in the negotiation of the treaty of versailles, then it unrolls even more. but again, i think that's something that historians will be studying for many decades to come. >> some historians say wilson may have experienced a different strain of flu, not the strain that caused the pandemic back then. but there's no dispute that president wilson's behavior changed after his illness. >> people who knew wilson then and had been with him for a long time said he was never the same after that flu. there is a suggestion by quite a few historians that the flu might have affected wilson's judgment, his reasoning, his willpower. >> we'll never know for sure what was going on inside president wilson's mind. historian john barry puts it this way. >> i'm not a real believer in al

just trying to silence any and every one who doesn't demonize a visiting guy and compare him to adolf hitlerhe worst people in the world. >> tucker: what happens when you try and do that? and can you do that? i know anyone who has talked more about social media and the effects on the country than you have. can you really silence people? and if you try, what comes next? >> well, i certainly think you can come and they are doing it, and have been pretty successful at doing it for a long time. they have amplified the voices that they agree with, and they have diminished the voices they disagree with. they have crucified trump supporters. and i just want people to think about this and listen, i don't agree with the way president trump has handled himself in all situations, but he has picked on other elites. he has gone after the u.s. president barack obama. he has gone after the mainstream media. he has gone after celebrities. the media and the elites have gone after working-class people. trump supporters are not elites. they don't have major platforms. they are the people. there is an attack on

so to trade back into the fortress of america mentality that allows adolf hitler to build the strength know septembt 1989 world war ii again and we need the consequences of that. so what are the things with such great detail is the efforts to compromise he showed how to do it by surrounding himself with the best and the brightest of his time. the wisemen as well to isaacson called him. secretary of state was general marshall is the allied for victory of world war ii the undersecretary of state, probably the most capable diplomat and washington dc at the time. had george and then the book that designer in europe and also the need for the united states to engage in a containment policy. and then they knew stalin will also. was hard work with republicans but also surroundings of the great team that actually allowed him it was a form policy and allow him to do

did, and god forbid that adolf hitler had a monopoly on the most, the first true weapon of mass destructionin any case, so about a month after the explosion, oppenheimer comes to the white house and he sits down with treatment, and by this time he is just wracked with second thoughts. he says, mr. president, i have these terrible regrets. i feel i have blood on my hand. truman says don't worry about it, i gave the order, i have got the on my hands. they finished the conversation. oppenheimer leaves and truman says to his staff, i never want to see that son of a bitch in this office ever again. >> that such a moment. you also tell a story in the book that i have not heard before. i want you to tell the whole story, in part about the trilogy. and it's with respect to this level william with the "new york times." the opportunity as he had in this project and how all that turned out. >> well again, this is the joy here to talk about how good days and bad days writing. this was a very good day. william leonard lawrence was a science reporter and a very distinguished science reporter for the "new

states involved so the country was back in this fortress american inability which of course allowed adolf hitlerbuild in strength and world war ii began and we all know the consequences of that so one of the reasons i got into such detail on the legislative efforts, the efforts of compromise is because he showed how to do it. he also showed how to do it by surrounding himself with the best and brightest of his time. the wise man as walter isaacson and evan thomas called them. general marjorie marshall is the victory in world war ii, he matches him with the undersecretary of state probably the most capable diplomat in washington d.c. at the time. he had george kenneth written the famous long telegram that was the first of stalin's design on europe and also the need for the united states to engage in containment policy. his ambassador to the soviet union knew the soviet union as well better than anyone. he knew stalin also so it was hard work for republicans but also surrounding himself and allowed him to move, really a revolution in foreign policy and allowed him to do that. >> set the stage inte

adolf hitler took power in germany and the reichstag, the parliament building, burned.apan quit the league of nations. in the u.s. hundreds of banks shutdown, lynches surged in the south, the country numb and nearly broken anxiously awaited deliverance as david kennedy wrote in his pulitzer prizewinning history of the era. beyond telling your friend david to skate his lane, this is usually your role on this broadcast and others on this network to tell us, to reassure us, to remind us only that things have been worst -- worse in the past. is that still your view? >> well, not necessarily they've been worse but that they've been bad and we've come through it. and we've come through it because just enough of us were devoted to this notion that, in fact, we are stronger together as a whole as opposed to seeing politics as this perpetual clash of interests. franklin roosevelt the night he took the oath on the east front of the capitol, he went back to the white house and like a good episcopalian he was having a glass of whiskey and going to bed. one of the brain trusters cam

adolf hitler had made it clear, or gymnastics on allied forces landed in normandy, paris is going tobe held. and it was not going to be surrendered to the germans. in august the 7th, same day eisenhower was often normandy setting up his headquarters shelburne, this man general van cultists was named the commanding general of paris. create good luck or horrible look. depending on how you might look at it. he had experience in the war including overseeing occupied cities. he was known as a tough guy in the german army. he was hitler's handpicked choice to oversee paris and ensure it remained out of allied hands. from that day, on august the 7th, he began occupying a 20,000 or so german forces under his command to ensure that hitler's decree was going to be carried out. and of course, the french and been thinking about paris. always thinking about paris. for parents to the french was more than just the political capital. it was more than just the economic capital, and the cultural center of france. harris was the spiritual center of france. it's where the france sole resided. even when

his sweat shirt is his way of cheering on adolf hitler's extermination of 6 million jews and wishing hitler fulfilled his ambition to kill every jewish person in europe. speaker pelosi said this today about robert packer. >> to see this punk with that shirt on and his anti-semitism that he has bragged about, to be part of a white supremacist raid on this capitol requires us to have an after-action review to assign responsibility to those who were part of organizing it and incentivizing it. >> the capitol police have opened an investigation into whether members of congress have inappropriately given visitors access to the capitol ahead of the storming of the building last week. capitol police spokesperson said the matter is under investigation. speaker nancy pelosi announced that she has named russell honore, a retired army general, to lead a security review of the capitol after the invasion of the capitol. >> we must subject this whole complex though to scrutiny in light of what happened and the fact that the inauguration is coming. to that end i have asked retired lieutenant general

adolf hitler believed that too. hitler wanted to exterminate every jew living in europe. we lost 251,571 american soldiers fighting and winning world war ii, fighting hitler and nazism in a war that was officially declared and funded and supported by the people who worked in that building that the invaders desecrated yesterday. that is the where the declaration of war against adolph hitler passed on december 11th, 1941, and yesterday, yesterday, thanks to the people that donald trump sent to the capitol, yesterday hitler got a little bit of revenge on that building by having some people who fully support hitler's genocide invade the inner sanctums of the government that crushed hitler and the death camps. vladimir putin had to be happy with this image of the american government seemingly coming apart. an israeli newspaper said the russian campaign's goal was never to push out a coherent pro-trump message but instead to subvert america's democratic institutions and sow distrust. president donald trump was just a means to that. vladimir putin can't help donald trump now. yo

adolf hitler took power in germany and the parliament building burned. japan quit the league of nations. in the u.s., hundreds of banks shuts down, lynchings surged in the south. the country numb and nearly broken anxiously awaited deliverance as david kennedy wrote in his pulitzer prize winning in the history of the era. this is usually your role on this broadcast and the others on this network to tell us to reassure us, to remind us only that things have been worse in the past. is that still your view? >> well, not necessarily that they've been worse but that they've been bad and we've come through it, and we've come through it because just enough of us were devoted to this notion that, in fact, we are stronger together as a whole as opposed to seeing politics as this perpetual clash of interests. you know, franklin roosevelt the night he took the oath on the east front of the capitol, he went back to the white house and like a good e pis coe pail yan he was having a glass of whiskey a and going to bad. if you succeed in solving the depression you'll g

which of course allowed adolf hitler to build his strength and of course we know september 1, 1939, world war ii began and we all knew the consequences of that . so truman and i think it's one of the reasons i go into such great detail on the legislative efforts, on the efforts to compromise is because he showed how to do it. he also showed how to do it by surrounding himself with the best and brightest of his time. the wisemen as walter isaacson and evan thomas called them. you had the secretary of state was george c marshall and general marshall was organized with the allied victory. dean atchison was the undersecretary of state probably the most capable diplomat in washington dc at the time.you had george kennan who had written the famous long telegram that was the first one of stalin's designs on your and also the need for the united states to engage in the containment policy. avril herriman was his ambassador to the soviet union who knew the soviet union as well or better than anyone, new stalin well also. so it was just hard work with republicans but also it was surrounding himself

the country retreated back into a fortress america mentality which allowed adolf hitler to build his strength and oil september 1st, 1939 world war ii began and we know the consequences of that. so one of the reasons i go into such a great detail on the legislative efforts with truman's because he showed how to do it and by surrounding himself with the best and the brightest of his time. the wisemen as walter isaacson called them. and he was the organizer the victory of world war ii and the undersecretary of state the most capable diplomat in washington dc at the time george cannon wrote the famous long telegram and also the need for the united states to engage in a containment policy. harriman was his ambassador to the soviet union who knew the soviet union as well as better than anyone and also new stalin well. it was hard work with republicans but also surrounding himself with a great team that actually allowed him it was a revolution a form policy allowing him to do that

said that is the great paradox of world war ii, we fight against the world's biggest racist and adolf hitler, but with our own racist baggage and segregated military. so we have a segregated navy, a segregated military, and an african-american man who has clearly done something heroic. he becomes a kind of symbol. how does the military use dorie miller as a symbol a symbol of what? >> it is important to understand the navy was already under pressure from various black civil rights organizations to integrate african-americans into the service as a whole. they had resisted this firmly. secretary of the navy frank knox was insistent that the navy, in particular, because of the close proximity of service, could not accommodate the service. it would impair battle efficiency. >> same thing we say about women today. >> about women, about gay soldiers, transgender service people, the same argument. that somehow it is going to mess with unity and efficacy. of course, the real problem is white sailors may have objected. there you might get your impairment of battle efficiency. the carpet. they did not
