what did you think of adolf hitler? what did you think of him? >> what did -- >> you think of adolf hitler? >> what did i think of him? >> right. >> what did i think of him? well, i -- well, bonhoeffer, i'll say this, bonhoeffer thought of him the antichrist, called him the antichrist without a hint of irony. [laughter] and bonhoeffer, as you may know, after this road trip across the united states in 1931 which is a fabulous movie waiting to be made with greg helvey or anybody, anybody in here, bonhoeffer and this french pacifist in this beat-up oldsmobile drive from new york to chicago in may of 1931 with two other -- there's a swiss student, and there's an american. they drop everyone off. they drive to new orleans and out through laredo, texas oh, another thing i found this those files was a postcard from waco, texas, from bonhoeffer. 4,000 miles driving in six weeks, 1200 miles on mexican train as, and they're coming back to new york. when they get to new orleans, instead of retracing their route or as we saw route back to new york from chica

. >> adolf hitler. look. [ laughter ] >> how can you not smile -- >> seth: yeah. >> -- when you look at weird al? i'm not trying to say smile at hitler, i'm trying to say, i didn't want to lose any audience by saying, "here comes hitler." >> seth: i like that, what you've proven is people like weird al more than they hate hitler. you can smile. they're choosing to love weird al the most. >> i think you're right. >> seth: yeah. was he great? was it amazing to work with? >> he's so sweet. and he was the first person we cast. he had contacted me just saying he was a big fan. and i was like, "oh, we have this great role for you, it's hitler." [ laughter ] he's like, "well, please send me the script. i know this might jeopardize my chances." i cherish this, of any artist, to stay true to who you are. he says, "i made a promise to myself and my family, i would never swear. and that includes lip-syncing." i was like, "okay, i respect that." and we went through the script and the worst words that he says were "u

of our you the soviet union and joseph stalin to out of germany you go and get nazi germany and adolf hitler. out of the italian republic, mussolini. one decrepit empire you get all of the low countries in the middle east that are not at war and falling apart and lines being redrawn. i was a world war i is a catastrophe. world war ii can out of world war i, and there was no cause for america to get involved. world war ii was a different creature. >> you might not have world war ii out for world war i. and i don't think there can be any question that the u.s. involvement in world war i, and the fact that the u.s., first of all, actually did in the war, put the force in there and think of the armistice on the basis of crazy promises from woodrow wilson that the germans and the middle east and ugland house excepted. and the result was nation states that are not nations. the result was that germany was so upset at the unfairness of the way it ended, that we got nazis and. way to communism, all these things as result of that war which was the signal, foreign policy mistake of the united states an

adolf hitler for example when he wanted to annihilate the people of germany the first thing he did was take away their guns and the rights to bear arms wasn't just to protect the people from foreign invaders it was to protect them against evil governments and anyone that would violate their inherent rights as human beings so i believe in the second amendment i believe that i hate to say this a lot of these mass murders and all this funny stuff that's going on i believe a lot of this is engine there and yet in the aftermath of the i think it was small town shooting you were engaged in that kind that program i think to teach children in self-defense do you think those skills would bear out how cool if they were faced with somebody who was armed to the well first of all i wasn't teaching children just as in themselves i was teaching what's called the posse which are sworn officers to come in and defend schools. and so these are people that have had training with firearms they have had police training they're just not on my level but they are you know sworn in but you still see. that there

he was a huge proponent of adolf hitler, and an even bigger proponent of the concept of national socialism. so as he rose through the ranks, at some point he begged to be sent back to germany as the formal ambassador from japan. his wish was granted, and he was sent back to germany, where he quickly became familiar with adolph hitler, not only on an official level but really on a social level as well. and he became friends with hitler on a social basis, or not only with hitler but with all the other leaders of the third reich. he would often talk with them at great length about the future plans of germany, and most importantly, after these discussions he would go back to his office in the japanese embassy and send back long detailed reports about those discussions. which meant that we had an unwitting spy right inside hitler's inner circle for the duration of the war. the dispatches from baron oshima are golden. just an example, a couple examples, one of the biggest concerns that the allies had was, they had put together this huge deception program to help, or to convince the germans that

you wrote the tool is one that he's using is one adolf hitler used, which was the big lie. one thing most striking that you wrote was that you said so much union. >> so much of russia remains the soviet union. we barely as politics, as we notice with recent developments, because we use force or threats. politics, the manipulation of the opponent, or the conversation with the opponent is not a big thing. in some ways russia is a great propaganda state. it tells the people how to think about the event, instead of hearing them. >> you are saying the smart people in russia. >> and the greatest propaganda scholar tells you that it is the smart people, those educated are more susceptible to propaganda, because they thing with their education you are immune. once you pose as poor we were victim, actually for russia that has been what this anti-western mentality for thousands of years, it's easy to get to educated. >> incredible. good to see you. that's correct. >> now for more stories from around the world. >>> we begin with a wild scene in nevada, where storms and flash flooding

and oswald saw walker as an american adolf hitler. >> and oswald said someone should kill walker.d he planned very meticulously his assassination of general walker. he took photographs from different angles, he figured out how to get his rifle there and how to escape. >> and then he went on the night of the 10th of april, took up his place and shot at general walker. >> he was very disappointed to find out that he missed by less than an inch. >> it shows his ability to plan who his target was and that oswald was capable of violence. >> i think that was kind of the rosetta stone that if you understood the walker shooting, you understood that lee was like a cocked rifle and he could go off any time. ♪ >> what set the conspiracy notion about the kennedy assassination among many americans was the sheer incongruity of the affair. all that power and majesty wiped out in one instance by a skinny, weak-chinned little character. >> it doesn't satisfy our sense of narrative or justice that a small person of no distinction can be of such historical consequences to killed the president of the

germany now baptisms routinely concluded with the prayer that this child will grow up to be like adolf hitler. the theology departments now existed for the sole purpose of building a religious foundation for the new nazi ethos. bonhoeffer had provocatively claimed that the german protestant who is not allying with the dissenting confessing church is not a christian. to this martin sassa bishop responded in germany, there is no longer any life except with the fÜhrer. the german christians had waged a seven-year campaign to make the church is safe for the reich winning virtually all the parishioners and all the church people to the nazi cause. pity for him to hitler no longer really cared about the church. by 1939 most high-ranking members of the regime beginning with the fÜhrer himself or of the mind that christianity was no different from judaism in its enfeeble in effects on the folk. the religion of jesus, a after all was at last a malignant corrupting influence. bonhoeffer had long argued that christianity and judaism were inseparable. and they and, the nazis would agree although with a gr

that they were the same as adolf hitler and his nazi party.would execute people, rape them, enslave people. and for one solid year, the most powerful man in the world who could have done damage to this group, did not do damage to it. and allowed them to murder human beings at will, to grow inner if osity where they now are threatening an entire nation. i would like to put that question to president obama and i don't believe he could answer that question. so it's either he doesn't care about fellow human beings being slaughtered. he's too afraid to do it, or he's too apathetic to do it. there's no other explanation. or am i wrong? >> let me propose a different explanation, added on to the one before, uncertainty about the righteousness of america, about american exceptionalism. i would add on to that the feeling that he has that he -- and this i would say is a kind of narcissism. he presented himself to the nation as the man who would end the wars. he ran for re-election, i end wars i don't start them. and this is his self image. this is going

that is similar to logic adolf hitler used. why other countries in central and eastern europe, particularly baltic states, latvia, and estonia, have sizable russian ethnic minorities, that they are concerned they could be next. jon: you have a fairly short list of things that you think the u.s. and nato should do. tick them off for us. >> i would say sending weapons and training, the ukrainian military is desperately needed. should have happened a long time ago. we need to do more intelligence sharing and cooperation. i also think long past time that nato dispatch permanent troops to poland and the baltic states. russia has violated the 1997 act that would have prohibited such troop movements. they have totally changed the security situation in europe and therefore, we are no longer bound to that 1997 treaty. i think we need to support our allies in central eastern europe by sending a message that russian aggression will not stand. jon: and ukrainians can not stand up against the russian army, that's for sure. james kirkuk, the

thought ava brawn was a supermodel or centerfold he would look up to because of the ties with adolf hitler. >> in a highly risky move, staff decided to place jones in pendleton's grow unit. a unit where rival gang members have to live side by side. >> the white supremacists are a small minority here. when he was in general population, he and one of the fellow guys he clicked up with were the targets of many, you know, violent acts. he was placed in segregation for his own protection for a little while. the violence got so bad for him. he admits how ignorant he was back then. he sees that he -- his way of thinking was incorrect. >> it was kind of crazy. i mean, seen a lot of stuff. i've been to rallies. i mean, all that stuff. i've seen 40-foot crosses burn and stuff like that. that's what we live by, that's just how we was. i didn't know anything different from it. just how stuff was. >> despite his past affiliation with the aryan nation, inside pendleton, michael jones learned how to get along with the very people he loved to hate. >> i mean, this is a real cool individual, probably the c

. >> your critics say when you make that argument you sound like adolf hitler. >> you want to talk about's in that grand tradition of destroying thousands, millions of people, it's the american war in vietnam. where john mccain was in fact dropping bombs from the air on civilians. and he did it consistently. >> and when the weather underground went into a townhouse and put together a bomb with nails in it -- >> terrible thing. >> -- and allegedly killed a police officer. >> no. >> and bombed the home of a federal judge with a 9-year-old boy in his bed. >> we didn't kill a police officer. >> deny, but there's evidence to the contrary. >> if there were evidence to the contrary, why isn't somebody on trial? >> doesn't mean they can prove it without a reasonable doubt. >> but the san francisco police department says you did it. >> and john is also not true. but he has his opinion. but nobody was hurt or killed. the townhouse, as i said, was a terrible, terrible deviation. >> on a communique issued by the weather underground claims credit for the home bombing. >> meanwhile 6,000 people a week

it rivals the ethnic and religious cleansing of joseph stalin, adolf hitler, of paul pott and we have a responsibility not just to delivery leaf supplies, we need to make sure we're dropping bombs on the isis command and control nodes, their logistics centers, not just as we spot them one hellfire missile at a time but both in iraq and in syria. now that's a major change, but you're going to need more assets -- >> let's talk right now about that dam. those fighters got hold of that dam a while ago. why nothing was done at that time is just mind boggling. but at the same time we are hearing now that air strikes are happening around that area. talk for me just how difficult that is and can that operation be handled strictly by the air? >> the vulnerability, of course the big gates that they can open and close, much of that equipment has been so degraded just by lack of maintenance that it's very difficult to use. but if you had enough explosives, and certainly isis does because they have captured so much equipment from the iraqi army, they have captured full arsenals full, over 1,000 ve

because they feared what the world would be if adolf hitler was the first person to possess atomic weapons. so you understand what sort of drives the decision making and then sort of organizational genius like grobes pushes it. the remarkable capability of the united states pursues it. i don't dispute for a moment some of the unfortunate consequences of the american possession of atomic weapons, et cetera. yet, i think we should mention that hiroshima and nagasaki are the only times when weapons were used in warfare and perhaps in a terrible way, in a terrible way, they gave us an example of the awful consequences of these weapons such that statesman on all sides in the cold war have held back because they know of the awfulness of these weapons and that they play at least some part in that regard so i can see that there are all kinds of issues that bubble forth from nuclear weapons. for myself, however, i would have to say that during the cold war, i'm glad the et cetera didn't engage in any sort of unilateral disarmerment. by and large, i think deterrents worked. the soviet union was a th

years led to the recreation of conflict in europe and led to world war ii, led to the rise of adolf hitler. so we need to be firm now. we don't need to repeat the lesson learned from central europe and world war ii. >> wise and experienced counsel from general wesley clark. >>> president obama's other major international crisis how combat the growing strength of the terrorist group isis. joining me now discuss that is our diplomatic correspondent for "the washington post" and a gentleman from the national security council. we do have a situation where you have this growing conflict with russia over what's happening in ukraine and simultaneous need to put together a coalition to deal with the situation in the middle east and to deal with syria and, of course, russia is a sponsor of syria. how much of a complication is that? >> it is a complication. the united states would direct any kind of new coalition of the willing surrounding syria and you're starting to see them begin to try to round up some political support, ideally a bit of perhaps fig leaf arab military support to go with that. bu

i would wish that adolf hitler never emerged also. but the reality and the truth is that he did and 6 million jews were slaughtered in a holocaust. >> well, the problem lies not with me but with the president. and there's no way to get rid of him for the next two years. so we're stuck with him. but what we're seeing, sean, in the islamist movement, mr. hagel was wrong to say they've never seen anything like this as if it was a surprise. this movement is an evolutionary movement. it's gotten consistently stronger since 1988 when al qaeda was formed. al qaeda is now a small part of a much bigger self-perpetuating thing. and what we're seeing in iraq based on your map is what mounts a tune called the final stage of an insurgency, which is the beginning of formations of battle hardened and semiconventional units, which are taking on the military in iraq. this is very serious situation. but there's no one in the united states who will say that. because we would have to address things like our relationship with israel, our relationship with

because they feared what the world would be if adolf hitler was the first person to speposs atomic weapons understand what sort of drives the decision making. and then sort of an organizational genius like groves pushes at the industrial capability of the united states, pursues it. i don't dispute for a moment some of the unfortunate consequences of the american possessions of the atomic, et cetera. and yet, i think we should mention that hiroshima and nagasaki were the only times that weapons were used in warfare. and perhaps in a terrible way in a terrible way they gave us an example of the awful consequences of these weapons such that statesman in the cold war have held back because they know of the awfulness of these weapons, and they play at least some awful part in that regard. and so i can see there are all kinds of issues that bubble forth from nuclear weapons. from myself, however, i would have to say during the cold war, i'm glad the united states didn't engage in any sort of unilateral disarmament. by and large, i think, deterrents worked and the soviet union was a threat to the

so adolf hitler wanted to make sure that his power was consolidated, and you had the reichstag fire moremergency decrees to justify there's this communist insurrection that's going to go on, so we've got to ban free speech, assembly, things like that. but by the way, the wymar republic did a lot of the same thing. the registration law, if you go to the provisions after gun registration, it was no public assemblies and no free speech. you could not make political, politically-subversive speeches. so these things seemed to go together. but there was one case, there was more than one case, but one famous case of a search and seizure operation against jews in germany. this was in april of 1933. there were raids that took place in the jewish quarter in berlin. and here's actually some illustration. this picture and the next one i'll show you are illustrations of that raid. this is from the nazi paper, and basically it says raid in the jewish quarter. and if you read the article that follows, it talks about the subversive literature that was seized and the guns that were seize inside this sear

got it worked out, and in the general election fdr ran as commander in chief, running against adolf hitler according to republicans. a variation of the modern rose garden strategy, he was doing inspection force but not campaigning as a candidate. he did, however, during the election take two very courageous decisions, one for the first peacetime draft in american history, the other the destroyer's deal for which he thought he could potentially be in peach. in any case, wendell willkie succumbed to the advice of the republican leadership and made the war the issue and he said if you vote for roosevelt if roosevelt is elected the boys will be on the transports by april. he started calling roosevelt a warmonger, the polls started closing and roosevelt was worried, spoken out, had to go out and campaign, discard this disguise as commander in chief and be a candidate. people's clothes so rapidly that roosevelt thought he was probably going to lose and on election night on november 5th, 1940, he closeted himself in the dining room in the big house where he always received their returns and he sa

americans and british who were already engaged , because they feared what the world would be if adolf hitler was the first person to possess atomic weapons. you understand what sort of andes the decision-making organizational genius -- the decision-making, and then the vesanizational genius of gros pursues it. i don't dispute some of the unfortunate consequences of the american possession of atomic weapons, and yet i think we that hiroshima and nagasaki are the only times when weapons were used in warfare. perhaps, in a terrible way, they gave us an example of the awful consequences of these weapons, on allat statesmen sides in the cold war have held back because they know of the awfulness of these weapons and that they play at least some part in that regard. that there are all kinds of issues that bubble .orth from nuclear weapons for myself, however, i would have to say that during the cold war, i'm glad the united states didn't engage in any sort of unilateral disarmament. by and large, i think deterrence worked, and the soviet union was a threat to the united states. they were held at a
