as the confederate troops approach, general chamberlain called his troops to attention. they straighten up and lift their arms to this position. he has about 4500 men lining the wrote on the north and south side presenting a salute to the confederate soldiers. general gordon returns the salute and calls to him in -- his men to soldier arms and returned the salute. the confederates, a division at a time. they face front, stack up the arms take off the equipment, and turnover their flags. that is probably the hardest thing for the confederate soldiers because the flags meant everything to them. giving them up symbolized the end of the war. the confederates would counter march, go back into the river valley. the federals would clear off the road and reform. there were eight or nine confederate divisions. the ceremonies went on all morning into the afternoon. very emotional and touching ceremonies, but very respectful on both sides. as the last confederate troops stacked arms on the road and returned to their camps, from the camp's, they were allowed to start their journey h

the reason why it's not neville chamberlain, chris, is neville chamberlain was against a much stronger obama is caving. >> he didn't have an army. >> obama is caving in from a position of strength. >> let me ask you this. i want to get to gene. the implication of the debate with netanyahu and conservatives in this country, hawks in this country if you will, is there's a third option. that it isn't war. we're not going to have to blow them apart, use bunker busters or help the israelis. there's another option. we can make a tougher deal work. do you believe that? >> we gave $11.9 billion worth of unfrozen sanctions relief. the annual budget of the revolutionary guard that killed hundreds of americans, $5.6 billion a year. why -- it's like giving a little kid dessert first then asking them to eat his spinach. >> there is a better deal, you argue? >> yes. economic leverage. oil was down to $50 a barrel. >> you, sir? >> well, where's the better deal? if there's a better deal, where is it? the answer is they got actually a better deal than most expected them to get and, in fact, the alterna

you ought to be able to disagree over very complicated matters without recalling neville chamberlain, munich and adolf hitler. i think we can have a civilized discussion without that crap. >>> coming up there's something going on in american politics i just mentioned right now where the more you know about politicians the less you seem the like them. maybe it's this kind of conversation. look at hillary clinton's numbers. they've fallen back since she's been secretary of state. she's got her head actually just above water when it comes to favorability. however, something jeb bush and the rest of the republicans would love to have her numbers, and that says a lot about this rough political season we're heading into. >>> plus republican governors in indiana and arkansas back down on those anti-gay laws showcased as religious protection. but for the republican party heading into 2016, the damage has been done. >>> and the new documentary about frank sinatra. the life career and politics including his relationship with the mob. let me finish with that unthinkable act of brutality and horr

ben you bring up neville chamberlain, at least hitler do z that for chamberlain, he lied obviously. >> when you are in the middle of a negotiation -- >> very good point, charlie, very good point. >> you are in the middle of a negotiation you don't want to rub salt in a wound or risk it falling apart. if you're waiting charles payne for this to approve in iran you might hold off sending a convoy of ships to yemen loaded with military start and forced to do a u-ey when you get close. you might think device saying death to america and might think twice doing deals with russia or china. you might watd until the ink is dry on the contract before do you that. like if i'm negotiating with fox on a new deal and take three weeks off, i don't think that will send the right signal that i'm serious about it. >> you took three weeks off and spent them on missnbc. you take the locals from russia sponsor terror yemen president obama's shiny example of success in the middle east iran wrecked it with the houthi rebels. >> they department' have to do anything even for show in negotiating this deal. we'

as the confederate troops approach, general chamberlain calls his men to attention. they straighten up and called out shoulder arms. he's got about 4500 men lining the road on the north and south side and is presenting this loop. general gordon at the head of the confederate column calls on his men. they come up a division of time and face front, stack their arms and turnover their flags. that's one of the hardest things for those confederate soldiers. giving them up symbolize the end of the war. the confederates would counter march, go back to the appomattox river valley and would put everything in line and reform. there are eight or nine divisions that came on this morning into the afternoon. very emotional and touching but simple on both sides. they returned to their camps and were allowed to start their journey home. the war was over for those soldiers. now we will go to the park visitors center where we have our museum and i will show you the special objects in our collection. we are now in the park visitor center museum where i will show you a few of our most c

do wrong, neville chamberlain do wrong in 1939? back to appeasement. >> i asked kevin james after he accused obama of appeasement. i simply asked him to define appeasement, what was it, and he couldn't do it. >> what did chamberlain do in '39. tell me? >> chris, it's the exact same thing, all right? >> what did he do! >> '38, '39, chris? what year do you want? it's the exact same thing that happened. >> i think the best times are when you can remain calm and realize you've got your fish. you know. you've got him. you've got him hooked. >> what neville chamberlain did wrong most people would say is not talking to hitler but giving half of czechoslovakia in '38. >> although james hasn't returned to date, matthew says the "hardball" door is always open. >> you're not going to box me in here, chris. >> probably enjoy having him back. for further vetting. >> later the same year, another classic matthews shutdown. >> congresswoman, thank you very much for joining us. >> october 17th, 2008. minnesota congresswoman, michele bachmann, is ta

but as the confederate troops approach, general chamberlain calls his men to attention.hey straighten up, asknd then he calls out shoulder arms. they lift their rifles from the ground to this position here. he's got about 4,500 men lining the road, both on the north and south side and they're presenting a salute to the confederate soldiers. general gordon at the head of the confederate column coming up, returns a salute and calls his men to return soldiers arms as well. they face front. they stack their arms, take off their equipment and turn over their flags. and that's probably the hardest thing for those confederate soldiers because those flags meant everything to them, and giving them up symbolized the end of the war. the confederates would counter-march, go back to the appomattox valley. they would then reform. these ceremonies went on all morning and into the afternoon. very emotional and touching ceremonies, but very respectful on both sides. as the last confederate troop stacked their arms out here on the road and returned to their camps, from the camps they were

and at this dinner, chamberlain brought coffee, something pierce hadn't had in well over a year. and over the course of the dinner conversation, pierce undoubtedly learned that chamber land was in charge of the surrender ceremony for the confederate infantry on the morning of april 12. chamberlain has his men lining this road from the lee/grant meeting site all the way to the mcclain house on april 12 at about 5:00. his men are out here for several hours before the confederates approach. and they start leaning on their rifles talking amongst themselves but as the troops approach, they have their attention. they straighten up. and he calls out shoulder arms lift the rifles from the ground to this position here. he's got about 4,500 men lining the road and presenting a salute. general gordon is coming up returns the salute and calls to his men to shoulder arms as well. they return that salute. the confederates come up a division at a time. face front, stack their arms take off their equipment and turn over their flags. and that's probably the hardest thing for those confederate sol

the union officer of the day was general joshua chamberlain. the confederate officer of the day is general john gor dan. chamberlain order them to salute the men as as they came in by commanding them to shoulder arms. gordon will have the confederate return the salute shoulder arms as they march into the village. a south carolina unit recognized some troops from maine in front of them. at the end of the day the union soldiers will have stacks of rifles. some units back in their camps hid their flags, tucked them you should their coats. some money cut the flags up and divided them as souvenirs. some units burned their flags. the third arkansas did something unique. their flag was on a captured union flag staff. when they turned over their flag they left a note on it that said dear mr. yankee please return this flag staff to the 9th. it was captured in 1864. it was signed big rebel. for the most part this was done with respect on both sides and after the confederates returned to their camp they were issued parole passes and free to start the jour

romance, and the chamberlains insult -- th emselves believed it.here is evidence for those who do. susan: time to move onto the revolutionary war. george washington pressed into service as a leader of the continental army. martha washington leaves non-vernon to spend time with him. how frequently what she on the battlefield with him? patricia: she goes every winter to him to join him in the camps and make a home for all the young officers on his staff and to encourage other officers to bring their wives and daughters to come and visit and make it a social time. of the actual eight years of the revolution, she spends overall five years at the front. susan: we have a video from one of those encampments, valley forge. let's watch that. [video clip] >> when martha washington came to valley forge on the fifth of february 1778, she arrives here according to general nathanael greene, in the evening. it takes her 10 days to travel here to valley forge from mount vernon. we know what the weather was like when she was traveling which was not always so pleasa

this makes neville chamberlain look like aces. we are sitting across from somebody with a pair of deuces. they tell us the negotiation terms? we can't touch their nuclear infrastructure? looks like we won't be able to inspect the military bases, as well. they hid one nuclear facility. they say they are going to turn that into a peacetime plutonium nuclear facility? we trust them with that? gary b. is right. they are 40% inflation. double digit employment. they are priming for a revolt. we made them one of the richest countries in the world. the reason they are celebrating is because this government, we just made sure that they are going to stay in power for a very long time. they have money to sponsor terrorism. they will have a lot of money now to sponsor terrorism. >> you can tell how good this deal is by watching what happened in the country this morning. the right wing newspapers in 2 that country the conservatives came out and said this is a horrible deal for iran. it's horrible for us. we don't need all these inspectors in h

and the chamberlains themselves believed it. don't believe it, but certainly there is some evidence for it for those who do. host: time to move onto the revolutionary war 1776, 1783 george washington pressed into service as the leader of the continental army. martha washington leaves mt. vernon to spend time with him, how many times, how frequently was she on the battlefield with pam? patricia: she goes every winter to join him in the camp. and to make a home, not just for him, but for all of the young officers who are on his staff, and to encourage other officers to bring their wives and daughters to come and visit and make it a social time. out of the actual eight years of the revolution, she spends overall, five years. host: we have a video from one of those encampments, valley forge in the pennsylvania [video clip] >> when martha washington came to valley forge on the 5th of february of 1778. she arrives here, according to general nathanael green, in the evening. it takes her 10 days to travel here to valley forge from mount

and if world war ii didn't start when it did neville chamberlain would have got an nobel peace prize. >> we keep hearing he wanted to do for iran what kissinger did for china and there was a suggestion that kissinger would support what he's doing. he doesn't support it. that view of history, the parallel between china and iran just doesn't work. >> i don't think so and i think it calls for being cautious. for months we've heard that isis was the big threat. my understanding now is that iran is the biggest threat to isis can vanquish isis, wants to do it. i think what this proves is we don't understand that part of the world and it's so dangerous to commit troops to something we clearly don't get. >> we're not talking about committing troops. we're talking about keeping our allies close, trusting our allies more than we do our enemies. you heard what the grand ayatollah said. i would call him an enemy, wouldn't you? >> david lease look at it this way. he says he wants the complete destruction of the united states and israel. what more do you need to say? >> exactly. i think that sums i

because chamberlain felt they could be trusted to bear any blow but this. he at no time have to worry. they were dealing with professionals. then arm bands in the same way they had honored other fallen presidents. they were mourning lincoln as a veter ran who had fallen in the civil war. they stacked their arms and what i found so beautiful and moving, they planted the fifth core symbol on a mound in honor of lincoln. this was replicated in other regimens, in other parts of virginia where the potomac was stationed. now, what about african american troops. one of their officers got the word actually two days later, two days after lincoln dying, 7:22 a.m. on the 15th he heard a rumor of an assassination. five days later, it was confirmed. now, what about black troops? again, whatever complaints black soldiers may have had about president lincoln's slow progress in e mans pating the slaves disappeared when he was killed. with anguish fully equal to that of white americans, blacks mourned the death of abraham lincoln. there was no greater legacy to abraham linc

sheridan was there opinion chamberlain was there and many other officers. they liberally shared contents that were brought out. there was an agreement made. the agreement was between general orde and general long longstreet there would be no movement of troops unless the other counterpart was notified. everyone kind of settled down in place. general lee who had written through longstreet's lines came back to where the four of his army was now located near the appomattox river. you can imagine how tired he would have been after three nights on the road, three days responsibility. the losses he had sustained. he took his place. sitting on a bunch of fence rails in sweeney's apple orchard. he would await the arrival or response from general grant. as i mentioned, general grant was located. the message was delivered. he dated his response 11:50. he entrusted his response to lieutenant william key dunn. they found general lee resting at apple orchard, delivered the message that general lee should select the site of their meeting and general grant would approach

ben carson chaired efforts to kill it, is running ads that morphed chamberlain into president obama. >> in a dangerous world it's time for american leadership, not surrender. >> democrats know republicans will blame clinton if the deal collapses and also if it comes together. >> if it passes muster, they'll still be attacking her for giving a pathway to the bomb to iranians. >> reporter: as the top diplomat during obama's first term she helped design the strategy to iran. she said reaching a deal in june is crucial. then left room for her to abandon it, quote. i know well that the devil is always in the details in this kind of negotiation. there is much to do and much more to say in the months ahead, but for now, diplomacy deserve has chance to succeed. rand paul who argued dealership employee city is better than going to war action didn't weigh in on the deal. he was unavailable all week to propose for his campaign watch this tuesday. he was also silent on the big debate over religious freedom this week. >> carl cameron reporting. >>> leaders in indiana and arkansas back pedaling in

chamberlain negotiated and said we have peace in our time. hitler went back on it.he problem now is we are negotiating with a partner on the other side within they have an ideology where it is acceptable to lie to the infotel. we have a problem that it doesn't matter who went over to negotiate, can we trust they are going to negotiate in an honorable fashion. i'm concerned about that. they have every intention of expanding just as hitler had every intention of expanding. host: doesn't it matter if there were a number of countries at the negotiating table? caller: it doesn't change the ideology of their position, which we don't have to keep our word with these people. that is a dangerous thing. you can come back with an agreement and have nothing. host: we have deal on the line for the independents. go ahead. caller: i am a little c an islamic regime that calls out death to america at its conferences. could you explain that to me? host: i did hear your question? caller: i'm concerned that a democratic nation like the united states is negotiating with a islamic terror

and the tom negotiator, "i will say that neville chamberlain got more out of hitler than wendy sherman got out of iran." mike viqueira joins us from washington with that. >> reporter: heartfelt both at home and abroad. and president obama said the bottom line was what he was striving for in the deal, the path to a nuclear weapon is blocked but the president on the home front is already calling congressional leaders trying to lay the groundwork, when they return from their recess on april 13th to either ratchet up the sanctions against iran, or insist on the right of congress to either accept or reject the deal. both of those things, the president very desperately does not want. >> if congress kills the deal, not based on expert analysis, and not offering any reasonable alternative. >> then the united states will be blamed for failure of diplomacy. and the conflict will widen >> reporter: john boehner specifically opposes it. and the conference call today. the lifting of sanctions the u.s. sanctions david will be step-by-step in accordance with iran meeting benchmarks of the deal. >> we

when you are weak, chamberlain or forgive me president obama facing enemies, your enemies fet stronger. >> i will say this putin is kind of an interesting guy. i will listen to him. >> would you have a drink with him? >> he has hot girlfriend no shirt on. something about him that i like. melissa: that is not surprising. that does not surprise me. >>> largest protest by low-wage workers in u.s. history saw 60,000 people take to the streets in hundreds of cities. higher pay could mean end of dollar menu. burger king cofounder warns, quote, you will not get these dollar hamburgers anymore. i see a lot of 10-dollar ham burgers arriving on the scene. that is the argument. there was alec baldwin out there, always happy to help in these situation, putting himself at center. play for us what he had to say. >> i'm just stunned that these people think that the way to gain support of new yorkers is to gum up the streets this way and make it difficult for people to live. melissa: so there is alec baldwin, your friendly neighborhood liberal, all about supporting higher minimum wage, until they slow

is this a churchill kind of moment hear where you need someone like churchill versus chamberlain?ompared the prime minister to churchill. do you think that's a fair characterization? >> well, i'd prefer it at this moment to talk about the issue itself and not about the personalities. obviously i have great respect for my prime minister. it's clear i think on the issues that his concerned are brought by reality. it puts a lot of emphasis on monitoring. monitors when they work with authoritarian, with totalitarian regimes, they play games with monitors. we didn't see monitors work not in iraq we didn't see them work in syria or libya. monitors can cannot work effectively in an authoritarian re seem. to base an agreement on monitors coming in and looking, where are they going to look? is the iranian regime going to allow them to go anywhere they want to go? i doubt it very much. >> well, and on that it seems the monitors, the inspect as they call them, can't go with where they want when they want. no snap inspections that would allow them to take a look at the most important faciliti

reporter: the conservative legacy pact is now running an ad about the iran deal that morph's hitler chamberlain. they know republicans will blame clinton if the deal collapses and if comes together. >> if it passes muster they will still being attacking her for, you know, giving a pathway to the bomb to the iranians. >> reporter: a top diplomat during obama's first term, in a statement 200 words long reaching a deal in june is crucial and then left room for her to abandon is, quote. i know well that the devil is always in the details in this kind of negotiation. there is much to do and much more to say in the months ahead but, for now diplomacy serves a chance. he was also silent on the debate over religious freedom this week. in washington, carl cameron, fox news. >>> will a deal with iran make the world safer or less safe and is the current deal on the table tough enough to halt iran's nuclear ambitions? here is one i've gotten. >>> moving on now. christians celebrating easter sunday in bethlehem. the church is one of the holiest sites for christians standing over what is believed to be the b

they accuse him of being another neville chamberlain. the legacy would be a negative one if iran ends up cheating and obtains a bomb despite what they see as a bad deal. charlie: they say that we cannot afford for him to be wrong and we think he is wrong. peter: that's exactly right. they pointed to examples -- north korea, president clinton came to a deal with them in 1994 to curb their nuclear program. north korea cheated and they ended up with a bomb. and that's obviously an example that nobody wants to repeat. what president obama and the white house would say is they learned a lesson from that. this is a more intensive inspection regime they have put in place. they are more aware of what iran is up to. they expressed optimism that they would not fall into the same trap. charlie: what did they say to the fact that the iran and the u.s. have different interpretations as to what has been agreed to? peter: they think it is to be expected which is why they need three more months to put the concepts into writing. a single document that al

neville chamberlain made a deal with hitler.er didn't have a track record as bad as the ayatollahs do in telling the truth. >> he wasn't commenting on the progress of these talks. in another year iran is going to have a bomb. what did you make of that? >> if iran has a bomb it's a terrible thing. look just as the negotiation reached a klieaically macparticular point, the supreme leader is saying death to israel and death to the united states. he's shouting to a crowd, death to america. why are we negotiating with this guy shouting death to the united states of america. what's going on? even -- did not say death to the united states of america. he said we would bury you in terms of communism. nobody has ever said death to the united states of america. this guy is saying it. we're negotiating with him. we're giving him basically carte blanche to develop a nuclear weapon. what on earth is going on? >> you know what i wonder about too, ben whatever the markets do when the deal is examined. i mean normally the short response is they

again envelope chamberlain is the role model. >> of course the administration is not going to let the details out until they think they have a deal with iran. we have to wait just a minute on this. >> you think there's a chance that a deal could be agreed to by the president and somehow derailed by a rambunctious legislature? >> i think it's unlikely. i think it's unlikely the house of representatives would override a veto of this legislation that would -- doesn't mean it couldn't happen, but it's hard to get the votes. i think the pro-israel forces are more effective in senate races than they are in the house democratic districts. >> something else i think the white house has been helped by tom cotton and hi letter and netanyahu and his speech. it's made republicans look like they were going too far and israel was going too far, and it helped keep some democrats in -- >> i think that's true. it makes the democrats want to support the president. >> the wagons are circled, but some of the wilder peet john bolton says his opportunity is to bomb them right now. >> then he should run for

there was no uprising against chamberlain when he came back in 1938 from essentially giving away czechoslovakia much of europe into hitler's hands. they were upset a year later when war broke out. churchill was the one who said we were given the choice of dishonor or war. we chose dishonor. we will get war. churchill was not that popular a guy at the time. he became later when the prophecies that he had made all came true. >> and then they turned against him. >> obama's retreat. >> well, yeah. >> then the british people turned against him. they didn't want him no more. >> that's a different issue. that's just in gratitude. >> this is what i'm worried about, all right? president obama is going to leave office in about 18 months okay? >> right. >> the new president whoever is going to inherit an unbelievable mess abroad -- >> -- absolutely right. >> economy that is stagnant. however, in the meantime, americans have to make a decision about whom they are going to vote for and i don't think that most americans have any blanking clue about how bad it is over seases. and surely the press and the pres

republican senator mark kirk said, "neville chamberlain got a better deal from adolf hitler," referring to the 1930's british prime minister and his policy of nazi appeasement. on thursday, president obama urged congress not to scuttle the deal. >> if congress kills this deal not based on expert analysis and without offering any reasonable alternative, then it is the united states that will be blamed for the failure of diplomacy. amy: to talk more about the nuclear deal, we are joined by seyed hossein mousavian, a former nuclear negotiator for iran. he served as iran's ambassador to germany from 1990 to 1997. he joins us from princeton new jersey where he is an associate research scholar at princeton university's woodrow wilson school of public and international affairs. last year, he published the book, "iran and the united states: an insider's view on the failed past and the road to peace." welcome, ambassador. do you see this deal as historic and a road to peace? >> good morning. definitely, the deal is a historic achievement and definitely, this is a road to peace because the deal p

come out with it, chamberlain. jeffrey: i was saying in the green removed for we came out here, it is the oddest thing that has been happening. i have been in the lab for eight years, and batteries have really begun to take off. the lithium-ion battery, total market share is about $15 billion per year right now. 90% of it is manufactured in china, japan, and korea. prognostications are it will be an additional tens of billions of dollars of gross to mustard product for some country or multiple countries. will that happen? that is a great question. then you throw in the grid. the great prognosticators say it is an even larger market on the grid. significant hundreds of millions of dollars. one thing we have noticed, j.p. morgan chase and other banks have come to talk to us recently in the last few months asking a series of questions that in my mind boiled down to one question. at one point do they take their investors dollars and put it into batteries? as a side note, it is fascinating they are asking scientists tha
