upon the president sudden death of franklin roosevelt.oosevelt, of course, had been president for 12 years. and many young people especially no other president. harry truman was suddenly thrust into the office. office here is actually depicted as it appeared in the 1950, just shortly after the korean war had started. exactly the way it was on that -- on a 1950.ular day in august many of the items around the of truman.ry typical the desk is cluttered with a lot given tots that were truman over the course. these are the items that happened to be on his desk on day in august 1950. the furniture in the room is all reproduction furniture, because the original furniture is still at the white house. items onmost of the the walls and on the tops of the ares and so forth originals. there are few exceptions. but one of the most interesting is the large globe in mantel. the fireplace in july of 1945, harry truman went to the potsdam conference. he stopped and visited general the supreme allied commander during world war ii. truman thiser gave globe

and there are overif 300 more lettest, i think it's 341, from winston churchill to franklin roosevelt than there are replies from roosevelt to churchill. so maybe that's what you're referring to when you use the word "shameful." >> yes, ma'am, in the blue. just wait for one second. we'll bring the microphone to you. >> could you explain churchill's relationship with our president's post-world war ii? i was under the impression that they shared our national intelligence information with him when he was in -- because he returned back as prime minister. so i'm pretty sure truman and eisenhower both -- and probably kennedy -- both sent him our national security -- >> not kennedy -- >> not kennedy, but truman and eisenhower. >> yes. >> and i wanted to point out that in your imperial war museum, you only have one book on general montgomery, and it's comparing him with rommel.

he was and he was -- he was advise aing franklin roosevelt w how to negotiate wih stalin and soviets for the soviets and his role which liberals have tried to down play for decades was much more substantive than people realized, in fact, great book by late sam evans called stalin secret agents they have a chapter in there called ghost ship at yalta where hiss is in many ways the front man at of things it was february 19 -- started dividing up europe if you want to know where cold war began and tag a date take that week february 4th to 11th, 1945 it was really the cold war begun and ulta where stalin would lie and break all of the promises in assurance he gave to fdr. he was told over by advisors not to. trust them listen to hiss. >>ta fdr generally trusted staln he really did franklin roosevelt was he ever held to account for what took place in oval office? >> oh, no. i'll ask you more about this when we return doapght forget folks you can join us most weeks on evin tv go to the website levin tv and give us a call right now at 844-levin tv at 844-levin tv we'll be right back. means m

presidents who had important roles in world war i for example, herbert hoover did relief programs, franklin roosevelt was the assistant secretary of the navy, dwight eisenhower became the commander during world war ii. he was running a base on the home front. he did not get into combat in the war. truman's experiences are unique, since he was the only president to serve in combat. we selected the title, heroes or corpses. it is taken from a memoir that truman wrote about his experiences as he was leaving new york harbor on the ship to france in 1918, he wrote in that that he was wondering if they would come back heroes or corpses? harry truman's interest in the military started at an early age. he loved to read. he was reading books about history and biography. he read about great military leaders. truman was aharry fraternity type person. he needed the camaraderie of other men. he would be a joiner of organizations. he joined the masons. one of the things he did was he joined the missouri national guard and he did that in 1905. this roughly corresponds to the time he was called back to help his fath

i wish that franklin d. roosevelt had dif lived to see this day. >> harry truman's birthday was on may 8. so much of the world makes of it celebrated as victory in europe day. and as he said what, a wonderful birthday present that was that he recognized only half of job was done that even though peace was on its way to formation that the war was still raging in the pacific. and on the way home to the united states, he would authorize the use of the awe toxic bomb on military targets in japan. history tells the rest of the story that in august of 1945, two atomic bombs were dropped. >> the japanese began the war from the air at pearl harbor. they have been repaid many fold. and the end is not yet. with this bomb, we have now added a new and revolutionary increase in destruction. >> and so the first five months of truman's presidency were among the most challenging of any president in our history. mrs. truman suffered a loss in december of 1952 with the death of her mother. she died just a few weeks before christmas in

franklin roosevelt was more effective and at the context had changed dramatically. roosevelt is also the first to call this the state of the union. it had been called the annual address. roosevelt is at the first to popularize the term every year. harry truman is the first to appear on television to deliver the state of the union. those technological advances started to make the speech less of an address to the congress and more of an address to the american people from congress. the house of representatives becomes a cool television set for presidents to directly address the american people. which is a very different interpretation of the state of the union than we find in the constitution and what early presidents expected. johnson formalizes this by moving the speech into prime time. if y it is going to be a speech where you are talking directly to the people, why not do it when most of them can watch? >> on this hill which was my home, i'm stirred by old friendships. though total agreement between the executive and the congress is impossible, total respect is imp

theodorethat, it was roosevelt who was franklin roosevelt's political hero. when he's reconfiguring -- as you know, roosevelt was a democrat, and he comes from that, but he needs a democrat who is a hero, someone who can get things done and seems as vibrant as roosevelt. for all of my qualms about what it means to deal with look -- with wilson's legacy, there is a legacy of legislation there, an active government. wilson gives roosevelt way of imagining an active government. person a very ambitious having real potential. it is hard to make exact connections because, between his time as the secretary of navy and governor of new york, polio hits. franklin roosevelt doesn't think that matters a lot. there is no evidence that ellen wilson communicated to woodrow wilson a fear of african-american encroachment, or that ellen wilson is responsible for woodrow wilson's racism. they shared it. articulatehe was an first lady. >> last word. >> that is a lot of pressure. [laughter] >> intended. >> i just want to say that part of the issue is the rising expectations on woo

because we were merely quoting henry mortgagen all that, a close seven secretary of the sect for franklin roosevelt and he basically said before the ways and means committee in 1940 that the new deal has been a failure. we spent a lot of money and we created a lot of debt and we have as much unemployment now as we did at the beginning. what made roosevelt very important figure is he really was extraordinary as a world war ii president, but more importantly, he was very important in the pre- -- just the months before world war ii because he developed lend lease. i'm not sure lend lease was constitutional but hi phrased it in a manner which made it seem less -- barring a hose from your neighbor -- borrowing a hose from your neighbor and you would give it back. so we were able to help britain at the time and in retrospect, that was a very critical decision because the out at that time was extraordinarily isolationist. >> , the thought of helping anybody during the war in europe was considered dangerous, and roosevelt did a number of things which i'm not certain were legal. but if he didn't do them we

franklin roosevelt made the radical decision to have social security.esse: she just compared herself to lincoln and fdr. cocky, but i like it. you can raise taxes to 70% and you still can't pay for all her fantasies. pelosi's people want to abolish i.c.e., chase families out of restaurants and are already insulting half the country and comparing president trump to hitler. here is frank johnson much florida. >> donald trump voters are less educated, less prosperous, older and dying early. many are dying from alcoholism, drug overdoses, liver disease or simply a broken heart caused by economic despair. americans, particularly plaque americans can't afford to make that same mistake about the harm that could be made by a man you named hitler or a man named trump. jesse: by the way, congressman johnson said that in a church. here is rashida tlaib from michigan. i said bullies don't win because we are going to go in there and [bleep]. jesse: she looks like a lot of fun. if you impeach trump you get president pence. imagine what kind of judges he'll name to th

i wish that franklin d. roosevelt had lived to see this day. >> harry truman's birthday is on may 8. and so much of the world may 7 and may 8 celebrated victory in europe day. what a beautiful birthday present that was but recognized only half the job wrass done and even though peace was on its way to formation in europe that the war was still raging in the pacific. and so america was preparing for that. in a few months, he would travel to germany, and meet with joseph stalin, winston churchill and clement atley at the potsdam conference and on the way home to the united states, he would authorize the use of the atomic bomb on military targets in japan. history tells the rest of the story of that in august of 1945 to two atomic bombs were dropped on hiroshima and nagasaki. >> the japanese began the war from the air at pearl harbor. they have been repaid many fold. and the end is not yet. with this bomb, we have now added a new and revolutionary increase in destruction. >> and so the first five months of truman's presi

court to change from making law to -- the supreme court has not done it for a long time since franklin rooseveltd to put 15 people on the supreme court. he was not successful. -- we cannot force them to do anything except take their money away. we should take their money away until they begin to support the constitution. i don't agree with that, i would not take the money away from the supreme court but i would agree with you that the supreme court has on many invented the law, written the law and acted as a tenured rogue legislature. the classic case was roe v. wade. what we are watching now is a president who in the case of the two nominees that he has put through the court, neil gorgeous -- neil gorsuch and brett kavanaugh, they basically decisions on the text of the constitution and they don't believe as i think a lot of people on the other people on the other side of the spectrum believe that the meaning of the law changes over the course of time. my own view is that if there is one thing you should say about the law is that it means the same thing to everybody it does not change its meanin

i'm talking about franklin delano roosevelt. -- it ought to spell the end of unilateral interference and exclusive alliances that have been tried for centuries and have always failed. end of quote. unfortunately, the real policy of united states in the united states scomm in the not just western hemisphere is in stark contrast to those noble and just deals. it's no secret to anyone, washington's attempts to undermine nicaragua. and the internal affairs of the state were confirmed by the decision of the international court in the hague in 1986 as part of the iran contra affair. at the time the yiverts tried to find nick rack wan rebels. the chileans will never forget the role of united states in overthrowing him. an team by the united states to impose their will on other nations is being complemented with another captainer and this is just some of what washington has done just in latin america, the nations of africa, asia, middle east, of the pacific region and europe have quite a bit to add to this list. so against in background, the inventing out of anyone air of so-called evidence

franklin and eleanor roosevelt were a young, arising couple in washington when wilson was president. to what extent did franklin 's successes and failures affecting domestic programs and, from the other and to what extent did the developing interest before early death -- before --ly death in the alley bill twitter extent did that influence eleanor roosevelt in her social justice west when she was the first lady? say thatk is fair to wilson gives fdr a political hero he very much needed in splitting -- prior to that it is the it or roosevelt who was franklin roosevelt's hero. when he is reconfiguring -- he has always been a democrat, and he needs a hero, so that can get things done. qualms or worries about what it means to deal with legacy, there is an active government. wilson gives roosevelt a way of imagining an active government that is different, and he sees this as a very ambitious person and having potential. to make exact dimensions because between his time as assistant secretary of the navy and the governor of new york, polio hit. that matters a lot. it can be tough to draw th

the bomber command memorial, the canada memorial and statues of winston churchill and franklin d rooseveltssup reports. it is supposed to honour their courage and sacrifice, but today the bomber command war memorial was found vandalised, daubed in white gloss paint. i feel absolutely outraged, i can see no point in this, it seems absolutely senseless. you know, what are they hoping to achieve, these people? it'sjust disrespectful of what they did for this country, in terms of freedom, it's absolutely disgusting. it'sjust so sad, it's mindless. i don't know why people would do it. file footage: raf lancasters of bomber command fly through heavy flak... the memorial honours more than 55,000 men who lost their lives with bomber command during world war ii. and those who survived, such as charles clarke, bomber command veteran who was shot down and taken prisoner. inexcusable, and pointless, because it doesn't even give a reason for it. if, for example, you put up a ticket, ban the bomb, one couldn't understand it but could perhaps see the point. but this is just sheer vandalism. it's not clea

people don't know franklin roosevelt's first appointment to the supreme court was a member of the klanbeen a lawyer for the clan and his excuse was i didn't know. >> ) i asked you that question because i wanted that answer, but i also, there's been, our kids are being not taught the true history of this country and i think it's damning to the education system. the kkk was born out of the end of the civil war because it was way the democrats, even though those matters were in play, we can make them fear us enough to keep them away from the polls and all the other stuff. >> the hanged people, they raped people. >> they were that terrorists at the time. the democratic party. you had people talking about the big switch, then you talk about everybody called it goldwater, they came back strong and everybody voted against civil rights and goldwater. goldwater was voting against giving the federal government more power. >> the first civil rights amendment where the post- civil war amendments. the first will write law was proposed by eisenhower in 1956. the 64 civil rights act, the voting right

there are over 300 more letters, i believe it's 342 more letters from churchill to franklin roosevelt then there are replies. maybe that's what you are referring to. >> yes, ma'am. just wait for one second. we'll bring the microphone to you. >> could you explain churchills relationship with our presidents post world war ii. i was under the impression they shared our national intelligence information with him because he returned back as prime minister. i'm pretty sure truman an and eisenhower sent him our informs. i wanted to point out in the war museum we had one book on general mcgum reand comparing him. can you expand upon his relationship with general montgomery. >> the war museum has undertaken this disbursement of books. they sold their library, base basically. this is one of the great tragedies. if you would have asked that question 5 years ago there would be been 300 books. his relationship was subject to investigation. in made him a field marshall very early on in 1944 to the furry of captain and m.l. bradley and various other people who wanted to be star generals. he thought

for franklin d roosevelt, he was bringing our nation safely through the depression and war. was a need for an economic resurgence. and winning the cold war. for george w. bush, it wasn't the 9/11 attack and fighting the global war of terrorism. how will our moment in history be defined by the time in which we live? we only see it part now. what we see is exciting. it is filled with opportunity. we live in a time of technology and we are not only preparing our young people to work in the tech industry, but we are bringing the tech industry to them. their future opportunities from data analytics, to cyber security. we are supplying the global marketplace with our rights, soybean, beef and poultry. our retail industry leaders are competing in the world of e- commerce and supply chain logistics. we live in a time of millennials and is the generation who now value privacy and the sense of community at the same time. arkansas wants to attract the new workforce who wants downtown living, kayaking and bike trails. and sadly today, we live in a time of division. our nation has differ

this a series of extraordinary platitudes that described him as the greatest american general franklin roosevelt winston churchill. really iconic members of our history putting lee in a category by himself. in terms of other people you mentioned disney in the book. from your account he doesn't seem to be the most pleasant. he sort of demanding and a perfectionist but animators would doubt everything to go work for walt disney, why did people find his leadership style compelling? >> he was a talented animator but in 1934 after some success they created mickey mouse with steamboat willie and they had done some technological things and an evening in 1934 he gave every employee in the company $0.50 and told them to go get dinner and then come back to work. then the auditorium at night for the next three hours he acted out a report in a story that he wanted to create a full-length animated feature of. it turned out to be snow white. he played the dwarfs. he played snow white, he played the huntsman. on the stage made united in front of people. it was absolutely not normal. it had never been a full-le

and how that affected franklin roosevelt 20 years later? the assistant secretary of state for the navy in 1916 and foreign-born espionage saboteurs in america how did that affect his feeling of the internment camps? and does that give credence to what i used to think was a very immoral decision that historical precedent? . >> i do talk about his role during world war i i didn't get into world war ii but black tom is now a new jersey state park directly opposite of the statue of liberty. and right in the middle of new york harbor, this is where they were congregated and put on ships july 1916 german saboteurs could get to the site and blow it up a huge explosion damages the statue of liberty the explosion knocked out windows miles away you can hear it for three states that bird for a couple of days. unreal of your active sabotage. they were never caught whoever it was that we are pretty sure it is the germans. so it is amazing but to the other point of internment camps we did have four in the country and basically where we sent german nation

historically this has really only happened under franklin roosevelt and the depression, world war ii, the korean war. this is not a national emergency going on. both democrats and republicans agree that they want to improve immigration reform and border security is rnt for, bimportant building a wall is not a matter of national security. >> he has tried to convince many people that it is, that there is an emergency at the border and many americans aren't buying that argument. he likely has convinced much of his base. but what is at stake for president trump here? if he works out a deal with the democrats that involves border security but not technically a wall, will that do irreparable harm vis-a-vis his base? >> it depends on the way that he is able to frame this. at the moment, he feels like he has to look as tough as possible which is why he was coming out with all these rhetoric about he's going to go months and months or possibly even a year to defend this claim that he will build this wall. he really wants to appear like he has won this fight somehow. and he was able to even shi

franklin roosevelt said the administrative aspects of being president were secondary. he said what matters is moral leadership. we need someone to articulate what's happening, the deeper levels of moral dysfunction. i have had a 35-year career in naming and transforming those dynamics. that's my qualification for the presidency at this time. >> your campaign has a number of proposals already. some very specific. you call for universal health care, medicare for all, permanent middle class tax cut, free higher edge education including free tuition for public colleges. government support for children's services, establish a green new deal. all of these sound like many of the policies from the progressive wing of the democratic party. do you feel it's necessary to come up with a way to pay for these all? >> well, that's such a canard in this country. when you give 83 cents of a dollar to the richest among us nobody is supposed to ask how to pay for it. any time somebody want as war that turns out to be the biggest foreign policy blender in our history nobody asks how to pa

first couple years of his administration and of course the new deal in the first 100 days of franklin roosevelt'sr lyndon johnson's great society. on the international side george h.w. bush at the end of his two years in office had essentially won the cold war. it's hard to find any tally from president trump that matches to the historical record. >> i have to ask you about something that the president just tweeted. it's a response to general stanley mcchrystal who called president trump an immoral liar. it's worth noting that mcchrystal was fired by obama for disparaging top members. last assignment a total bust known for big, dumb mouth. hillary lover. let's take this in the broader context here, which is the sort of remarkable break we're seeing between president trump and his quote, unquote generals with defense secretary james mattis resigning in protest frankly over the president's policies in syria. other senior defense officials resigning. talk about this in the context of history. have we ever witnessed a break like this between a president and the military? >> certainly not a public bre

if you look at history, where this has been used before, things like franklin roosevelt in the secondwhich know one would dispute are an emergency. >> i was going to say, based on the reaction of king abdullah of jordan to mike pompeo, that chuckle from king abdullah probably suggested he didn't buy it. >> a little bit awkward, to say the least. let's talk congressional leaders heading back to the white house. what do you expect to happen there? >> i expect very little. i don't see any prospect. any human being who watched those two speeches back-to-back last night saw no real opportunity for them to come together. it was two versions of the universe, two arguments. you had the democrat saying, mr. president, you must open the government before we can negotiate and you had the president saying this is a choice between right and wrong. i don't think those negotiations will yield anything. i fully expect this to grind on a little further. a source close to an official said they're exploring other options creative ways to find money so trump doesn't need to go through congress to pay for

people don't know that franklin roosevelt's first appointment to the supreme court was a member of thebama who had been a lawyer for the klan and his excuse was i didn't know. >> right. i ask k you that question becaue i wanted that answer but i also-there's been -- our kids are being mistaught or not taught the true history of this country. i think it's dam ning to the education system. the kkk was born out of the end of the civil war because it was a way for the democrats -- even though the amendments were in play, we can make them fear us enough to keep them away from the polls and all that he other stuff. mark: they hanged people. they raped people. they were terrorists. >> they were the tearism ar term of the democratic party. you talk about the switch in the '60s. there was one person that switched. you talk about everyone that followed goldwater -- he wasn't voting in civil rights. he was voting against giving the federal government more power. mark: here's what i want to add to this. the first civil rights amendments were the post civil war amendments. the first civil rights la

he crafted the concept of non-colonial imperialism, which i believe was picked up by franklin roosevelthen he was transforming the world through world war ii and putting america at the center of it. it was on his watch that we established the special relationship with britain. just a couple of years earlier, under the cleveland administration, we always went to war with britain over a silly border dispute in south america. but after that we never had that term of tensions with great britain because of the special relationship. and he created the gold standard. we tend to look down on gold standard sleaze days, but in those days it was a very big deal. he ran when the currency issue was the hottest in our history. he solved that in his first term. this is a big collection of our compliments and developments that occurred on his watch. to what extent as he deserve the credit? i came to conclude that the idea, the leads in the wind theory, was a myth. i set out to expose that myth in this book. i will let you decide whether i defeated on that -- succeeded on that. you cannot decide much ab

emily was that senate background that help get the attention of president franklin roosevelt and democratic party powers who eventually persuaded roosevelt to name truman as the vice presidential candidate in 1944. these so-called pickwick papers, written on hotel stationery, truman wrote that these because even though he lived in independence which was near very close to kansas city, he sometimes go off to the pickwick hotel. he found comfortable, quiet setting where he could write and reflect on his career, and the kind dealings he had with the pendergast machine of tom pendergast in the 1930s where truman had some struggles and some thoughts that he was doing, while nothing illegal, things that he didn't quite in his conscious feel they were quite right. so he would take the pen and paper and kind of passion these things out, kind of help in a therapeutic way. here's some photographs of harry in independence. this winter shows him walking during the presidency. he is accompanied by some secret service agents. this is the wintertime around december 1949 during his second term. the truman
