and george marshall said, no. i want you. she said, oh, no, no, no. i live in the houston, i have a husband and children in houston, not me. and then marshall talked to her husband who had been the former governor, and he said -- her governor husband said of course you're going to serve your country when you are asked. and so she did. and she put the wacs together, and they were an incredible success. what she said was that with all of the things -- not she, but douglas macarthur once said the wacs are my best soldiers. more industrious and better disciplined than the men. and they became so successful that in the end they had hundreds of other responsibilities because they had done such a great job at the ones that had been started. so that was the transition. now, i have about ten minutes left i was just told, and i would love to take your questions, because this is something that is dear to my heart. i'm so pleased that i have been able to share with you some of the things about the great women that have really helped shape america that was recogni

if you see what george marshall, the first owner, george preston marshall said, what he did as the firsts said earlier, he was an avowed racist and he made william dietz, the head coach, wear a fake head dress and dance around to try to -- as a way of entertaining fans, or trying to get more interest in the team. that is not honoring american indian people. that's denigrating them. so daniel snyder is a part of that legacy and needs to change that legacy. >> one thing i want to ask you, the one exception to this ncaa rul rule -- this was a tradition created, no roots in actual history, but the seminole tribe did this in conjunction with florida state. seminole tribe appealed to the ncaa and said we want this to continue. i'm curious what you think of this. >> that's exactly how it should work, when you're using imagery that belongs to a certain tribe. they should be working together, respecting one another and i think that's just fine. >> there ray coupare a couple o you have to get the tribe to sign off and present evidence to the ncaa. the show aspect of it has been less because of tha

. >> the owner back in 1930, george marshall was honoring the coach, who was part sioux. as you pointed out moss native-americans have no problem with the name. in fact about 11% do. you mentioned family. i'm happy you did. if i were bob costas and concerned about the native-american sensibility, i would be concerned about the fact that on the reservations, high unemployment, high alcoholism. why? because of the welfare state we have managed to make native-americansen. far bigger issue. >> you know, there's a perfectly fair argument that this is an offensive term, but to who will? polls is not great on this, but there was an am berg survey in 2004 that found 90% said the name didn't bother them chief robert had this to say -- frankly the members of my tribe, the vast majority don't find it offensive. i've been a redskins fan for years, and i would be offended if they did change it. who are your victims here? >> this is not about victims. it's interesting that uyou two cite -- >> i didn't. >> if you're going to interrupt me we're going to get to fisticuffs. >> the a.p. pol

general george marshall cut is on grass.s and admirals have dogsbodies to do everything for them. is not just a question. think of the senior members of the entitlement glass. but beyond that there is a disconnect with our troops and in afghanistan. i have never seen the kind of dangerous androfound disconnect that i have seen between these generals this state and the add layers of security, surrounded by electronic toys. once in awhile they fly down, but in the middle of a soldier, have tea with the village elder. and the difference between their perception of what is going on in that war a the perception i get from the soldiers and marines on the gund, the enlisted men to my have never seen a greater gap. lou: let me a you this. on the war seems to be shaping the command structure. it seems to be shaping those generals. it idifferent kind of war. it is a long war. it is not about generals who are brilliantly creative strategies' and moving forces, the troopp into position in destroying the enemy. we are encased in abstract

perhaps a george marshall figure, someone who can split the difference down the middle and get our country moving again instead of clowning around on the right and left, racing to get there mic on to do cable tv appearances instead of locking themselves up in closed rooms and getting the business done of america. that's what we're paying them for. every congressperson is our servant. they serve us. the public has lost track of hat. the only way we can reclaim our dominance over politicians is going to be -- if we can't limit their terms constitutionally, we certainly can throw them out at the ballot box and gets some new blood in with some new ideas, and get people who want to work in a bipartisan fashion. we've got to get back to be able to cut deals together. congressman weiner -- ted kennedy did no child left behind not so long ago. host: douglas brinkley is joining us from austin, texas. you mentioned past republican presidents. this is from bill. as that the genesis of what we are dealing with today? guest: you can say that. most people saved the tea party was born out of the affordab

go back to the beginning how the team was really originated, founder of team george marshall was renowned racist. unfortunately they tried to get past that that is legacy the family leaves. melissa: that is slippery slope. what about the cleveland indians? stalk about people from mumbai. they're not allowed to call them indians. >> people from the south who hate yankees. what about that? what about that? >> extremely sensitive -- >> listen we're in, where it ends i'm not sure but if people are getting insulted and talking about sports, right? we want to keep it unbiased, talk about play the games. get religion, get race, get everything out of it and rebrand the company. >> wearing black ties. we're both racist. melissa: we're talking about money. what is the best money move for the team? because on one hand they have a lot of investment in the name redskins. that is what everybody identifies with. some estimates are 10 to $20 million to change the name. i think a lot more than that. >> a lot more. rebrand, it's a lot more. merchandising, it is logo and website. you know better than i do,

but he's good to go the same route that george preston marshal did.and trademark office on four different occasions, when he tried to patent the name anew, since 1999, has turned down such request. and the trademark appeals board has already found the name to be disparaging. it was overturned by a court only on a procedural technicality. technicality. if they follow their own precedents, and a new case was just argued in march -- >> yeah. >> this name is going, going, gone. step up before you're compelled. >> well, it seems like he's not going to do that. he has told the nfl commissioner, he's not going to change the name. the only way to hit him is in his pocketbook. i mean, and do you think that sponsors would start putting pressure on him? >> after a while. but let me talk about his pocketbook for a moment. imagine if, in fact, those of us who love the redskins and count me among them v to get rid of all of those hats and shirts and other paraphernalia and he's got to make them anew. he's going to make immense. so far from losing money, this is a g

the vice-president weeks later that the president has suffered a stroke, vice president marshall fainted. george nodded makes the point that he was probably ill-equipped. this goes back to why i call it a conspiracy because who is to say this man would not have become harry truman? who is to say the vice president might not have risen to something that no one knew he could rise to. this was a decision are rarely made by mrs. wilson and the doctors. as a result in large measure of that we have a 25th amendment which details presidential disability. >> as you pointed out in the beginning, wilson was the first southerner to become president in the civil war. a product not only of the south, but the deep self during an era when the klan is in its ascendancy, redeemer politics is widespread across the south. would you say a few words about how race and racism affected wilson? >> i will say a few words and i am glad the u.s. that because this is, you know, not all pretty. this is the and prettiest and the sedition act. wilson, this great progressive was extremely regressive. it must not be forgotten.
