so when you have somebody like adolf hitler who is absolutely determined to have a war, i think it's very, very hard to avoid. and particularly where one think that is the versailles settlement had created so many different ethnic groups split up along the wrong side of borders and so forth. i think some form of conflict was almost bound to happen in europe. but it only took the appalling anile haitian -- annihilation character that it did purely because of adolf hitler. >> host: the versailles agreement ending world war i, did that help create the circumstances for world war ii? >> guest: it certainly helped, or, if you like, it certainly created the instability at the time of rising nationalism. when you have sort of states which are suddenly becoming national itself, then they started to oppress ethnic minorities. and, of course, if the next door state like, say, germany with the czechs started to claim that they had a right to defend, you know, their ethnic brethren across the border, then you were bound to have some sort of conflict. >> host: we are talking with british historia

if you could go back in time would you have allowed adolf hitler to host the olympics in germany? >> stephen: yes, yes, good point. if you could go back in time and stop hitler from doing anything-- (laughter) >> it would surely be hosting the 1936 berlin games. (cheers and applause) no, that is without question my number one hitler related time travel fantasy. in fact, folks, i wrote a speculative fiction novel on this very subject entitled operation javelin. in which a time travelingeousie owens now trained as a sniper. goes back to the critical moment where hitler is about to sign his contract with the olympic committee, raises his life el and shoots the pen right out of hitler's hand. now obviously in the book hitler goes on to still do the other stuff but-- (laughter) >> but he never gets over the sting of seeing the olympic its move to baltimore. that's justice. (cheers and applause) point is-- the point is russia turned over snowden shall this is your last warning. but folks had there is some good news out there. we've got another political sex scandal. this time, this time

in fact, in 19 24 adolf hitler wrote "i have studied with great interest the laws of several american states concerning prevention of reproduction by people whose progeny would in all probability be of no value or injurious to the racial stock." he was talking about the concept of selective human breeding. one of those american states hitler wrote about was california. as a model to one the nazi's own eugenics program. for more than half a century, california was the epicenter of the american forced sterilization movement. the idea here, of course, was to improve the human race by making sure that less desired traits could be eliminated from gene pool. at the time, people like adolf hitler believed less desired traits were exhibited by jews, people of color, prisoners, the mentally ill and other folks deemed unfit. forced sterilization was such a popular idea both at home and abroad that even united states supreme court endorsed it. in 1927, justice oliver wendell holmes who is a great hero of mine in many respects but not in this one wrote "it is better for all the world if instead o

if you can go back in time would you allow adolf hitler to host the olympics?e know where lindsey graham stands. >> he is frustrated. somebody like that hurts the athletes and it doesn't advance diplomatic missions but it does indicate how frustrated not just lindsey graham, your interview with senator schumer. equal frustration. >> i thought that was interesting, lois. like they said, you know what? maybe because this isn't putin's hometown. this whole olympics. it's basically a cash grab for sochi. you talk how much money this is costing. this would a real threat to the economic of russia. >> he is pulling a grenade right now. no one hat stomach for that just getting it in and everyone is talking about it and it's not the invasion of afghanistan. but, you know, there will get putin's attention. >> i want to move on, nathan. you love to talk senate politics and so do we. liz cheney, her getting in. watching mike enzi deal with this. he knew it was coming and surprising how low key he made his renouncement knowing wfull well she would do something high profile.

that is right, as in adolf hitler. in this region, many people don't know much about the german dictator's crimes, so his image is used to sell everything from hamburgers to t-shirts. we finish in egypt but the video that shows you how to make bulletproof vests with soda cans. it does take some time, but it is keep. -- it is cheap. that is all for this week. to get in touch with us and share your stories, just had to our website, or to our facebook and twitter pages. see you next time. captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- >>> you're watching kwlt newsline." we're starting off with breaking news out of new york. an airplane experienced trouble touching down at laguardia international airport. its front landing gear collapsed. southwest airlines operates the boeing 737. the plane was on its way from nashville, tennessee, to new york. abc news is

adolf hitler is alive and well and he is governor of michigan. host: that's a strong comparison. ller: of course it is, he is a dictator. people, go against the you are no better than hitler. host: let's hear from another member of michigan state. this is from hillsdale, mich., a democrat. my feelings about the bankruptcy in detroit, i think it is a good thing. dog democrat. i am surprised to tell you that i am in favor of a lot of things the governor did. i am not in favor of the emergency manager law./ i think it is a good thing that detroit is going through bankruptcy because it needs to slim down . it lost some of population over the last few years. i lived outside the state for 30 years and when i came back, my wife and i went to detroit. one of the avenues was practically vacant. there is less than half a million people living there now. it needs to slim down and get the infrastructure narrowed down to a much smaller city perimeter. the city to change limits so detroit is a much smaller town bennett has been. then i think everything will work out fine host: are you willing t

my father wrote an article for the jewish paper called "my son killed adolf hitler," everyone had thisy of going back in time and killing hitler. seeing that actualized with his own son blew his mind. and my dad is a psycho analyst. they were just in tears, the whole family. >> what was the significance of the bat? >> the baseball bat. there was a scene that was cut, and quinten says -- >> if you haven't seen the film, they would bring out the guy to be killed and you will come out with the bat. >> and pummel him. there was a scene where i go to mrs. hemelstein and i get all the jewish ladies to sign a name on the bat of someone in the war, someone in the camps, and they all sign it and i take the bat with all the signatures and that's what i use to pummel the nazis. it's this real symbolic thing. but there was a scene that we shot, quinten says if he ever does a prequel, he purposefully hasn't leaked that scene in case he wants to do something with it. there's a scene where i go to buy the bat, and i test one out and smash it. and then i take it to mrs. hemelstein. it just took you to

actually made the world save for adolf hitler. the european allies didn't cooperate. stood aside while hit a came to power. no way do we want to get involved in another one of these things. so the opposition of the college students in 1939-1941 to me was very much like the 1960s and vietnam. there is not that much difference. shortly after america first was organized it did move to chicago and from then on most of its leaders would be those midwestern conservative businessmen we think about now and their social and political views were more conservative than its young founders. by the time of pearl harbor most of those who helped found america first had drifted away from the organization. when the united states finally entered the war, they along with of the vast majority of other college anti-war activists enlisted in the fight. all the young founders i mentioned, every single one of them actually did go into the military and a number of them as we know, john f. kennedy, saw combat as did sargent shriver and several others. the creation of america first, the way it w

"rolling stone" say they still talk about "time's" man of the year featuring adolf hitler and ayatollah khomeinei and charles manson in 1970. marketing analysts say one thing that could hurt "rolling stone" is if advertisers pull their ads or threaten to do so. no word whether any advertisers have done that and so "rolling stone" is not commenting. >> thanks for bringing that to us. >>> we have a lot of things developing so let's get straight to michaela for the latest. >>> a bipartisan group of senators reaching a deal on student loan interest rates. it offers college students lower interest rates through 2015 but then rates start climbing. they would be linked to financial markets but capped for grads, undergrads, students and parents. >>> president obama pushing his health care reform today in a white house speech but republicans in the house are chipping away at obama care. the house passed two bills to postpone key areas of the health care reform law. the measure calls for delaying requirements that employers apply for health insurance. >>> a judge is expected to decide whether the

his name was adolf hitler. the question on every's mind was whether fdr wanted the party nomination again in 1940, and he refused to give a clear answer. mr. president, would you tell us now if you would accept a third term one reporter asked him point-blank? put on a dunce cap and go stand in the corner. fdr replied with a laugh. not even the members of his own family knew what his real intentions were. of course, one question was whether fdr deserved another four years in the white house. his attorney general, robert jackson, was convinced that war and war alone compelled fdr to run for an unprecedented third term. jackson believed that at least as far as domestic policy was concerned, the president had already pulled everything out of his new deal bag of tricks. only the foreign crisis justified a possible third term. of course, fdr's own ambition also played a role. some democrats had accused him of torpedoing all the other potential candidates, but in fact, the widely president had done the opposite. he en
