and then later in september, september 15, 1950, mcarthur landed a huge amphibious force at inchon, westf seoul, and that effectively cut off the north koreans in the south from their resupply. at the same time the american and south korean forces in the south broke out from their p uso n perimeter and drove the north korean forces north. the north koreans were very weakened at that point because of their supply line. and then mcarthur sent his forces across the 38th parallel capturing pyongyang and all the way on to the chinese border. now, the directives from the joint chiefs of staff in washington were that you should not send american troops to the chinese border because the chinese would consider that a threat. but he disobeyed that. and the whole u.n. command moved towards the border and some reach the border and that's when the chinese -- the disaster for the americans. at the same time, mcarthur made a strategic error in splitting his forces up east coast and west coast of north korea and so the chinese could pick off the two forces more easily that way. and their attacks were a

had big impact on younger people, if they're left winging, whether similar events on the right a inchon people like that saul or did they look at occupy and see something totally different? question.ood to answer your question, there was not a use movement on the right in this period. there was a tea party but there was a tea party that was very old. what i found interesting the occupy and black lives matter which i'm glad you're asking this because i wanted to make a point. they did something really, really fundamental that people do not understand at the time, when journalists were covering black lives matter in particular, there was a lot that said take me too your leader. and there was an idea that social movement, what exist the way they do in textbooks worth like the civil rights movement, leaders,il this person and actually the 21st century millennial's in social movements were very leader for an everybody was a leader and nobody wasr. a leader and everybody was making decisions and nobody was making decisions. and that meant it had a lot of positives and negatives and that meant

he marched a brilliant move to do an invasion of the north at a place called inchon, very risky but successful operation. he started off, after the war was going badly started off in the war's going well you might remember the history of it, the american forces in the southern push the north koreans of back. they got too close to the chinese border and the chinese entered hundreds of thousands of chinese troops. almost forcing them off the korean peninsula. then, the americans and allies had to push their way back up again. during this time, when the chinese entered macarthur started to say this is a different war now i need to do things differently produced talk about using nuclear weapons. sondland bombing chinese mainland teams talk about bringing the nationalist chinese from taiwan and which was an outrage to the chinese. harry truman kept telling them, publicly, we are not doing that. we'll bring the soviets into that this is a cold war we don't have a wider war so for truman it became a concept of civilian control of the military. is he going to let this very popular general run the war

the guy talking in the front, guy by the name of tom gibb inchons, he's been doing this 20 years.ur gut telling you? this is the direct quote. my gut sense is very confused. >> chris jansing for us in clinton, iowa. thank you very much, my friend. >> fair enough. that's the professional pundit on this. >> they stripped our punditry and fancy language. this number is interesting. we got this from our entrance poling, that according to the entrance polls, they would rather see a nominee who could beat trump 63% than agrees with him on the issues 35%. >> how does that compare with what you saw in l.a.? >> that reminds me of '04. that's more pronounce. the reason people are confused, they understand what they do tonight is going to set the table. if they get it right, maybe we beat trump. if they get it wrong, it may be two terms. so i think the electability question, there is conventional wisdom that might help with biden. it probably does to some degree. people define electability different. we heard some say it's midwestern, who can motivate me and inspire me the most. the electabi
