. >> harry truman. >> i knew nothing about martha truman when i started this. but i believe she was my favorite mother. she was a missouri woman who was rooted, who knew what her values were. and her harry was her dear friend and her most beloved child. martha truman was the product of the civil war. the youngs were very prosperous family farm on the frontier there in missouri. her father was a master of the wagon trails going west from missouri to california, so they were very solid. well, the father was away, and matty, as they called her, was about 10 years old, and a group of raiders from across the border in kansas came to their house. now, they were raiders, union sthiers, not regular union, but they were wore union uniforms. they came in, burned their barns, killed their livestock, taking only the parts that they wanted, just killing the others . as margaret truman said to me, just plain cussedness. they then made matty's mother bake biscuits for them. she told harry how they baked biscuits, rolled the dough until she had blisters on her wrists, shen they

when harry truman was president. he was welcomed and ended up being the chief of the industrial relations department at cornell university. he tells the story in a family book that we have that the jews knew that fdr was not their friend, that the jews who were in america knew that fdr knew about the concentration camps, knew about the fact that these individuals were fleeing for their lives and it took the bravery of england to allow this family member to seek asylum. so, i think there is a lot of misinformation about it t.r. in the jewish community. >> what do you think is some of the misinformation? >> the misinformation is that jews and america thought fdr was a hero because he entered the war. but he was no hero to the jewish people in my opinion because of what he didn't do and he allowed the arab state department to set forth the doctrine of the united states while he was president. >> why do you think as a dying man he would travel to the suez canal to try to persuade the king of arabia, saudi arabia to help

georgeles is going to be bush cost david mccullough, highly viereck regarded by the fist of harry truman, celebrated by most americans. he had a lot more to work with in terms of raw material. truman saved berlin, europe with the marshall plan, he desegregated the united states military, which had been segregated completely for 1075 years. he built nato. man, alwaysarkable on the side of those who were not the powerful and affluent. i agree, he will bounce back, george w. bush. americans do looked fondly in the real in the mirror. bill clinton left office with 39% approval having pardoned the on powerball mark rich, and now he is one of the more popular figures in the country. w probably goes up. >> there was a poll of historians lately. he has a way to go before he bounces back seriously. he used up a surplus and made a huge deficit, took us into war that was, in my view, unnecessary, and i think history will not look fondly on him. >> on a personal level, so smart and wise to lay low like this. >> it is not wise, it is a matter of character. the reason he chose to, that is who he is. h

they had a hostile president in harry truman who was a firm believer in the new deal consensus. nevertheless, they were successful. one reason why the work has not been replicated very often is that political my that were the lest successful. ronald reagan was reelected. the republican held the senate until the 1986 elections, after the gingrich elections, republicans controlled the house until the 2006 election. they had the house for twelve years and the senate for most of that time period. the nothing-nothing congress was voted out in the next election. [laughter] in term of saving the country from a bigger government and making it possible for us to have the debates we were having with reagan and ginch i don't think you can argue with their success. i don't talk much in the book about calvin cool a.j. one reason is marketing. there are three books i know of on cool age right now. he governed during a period where limited government was the political norm in the united states. which i don't think is applicable to today. he was scaling back some vancesf the state during the pr

especially anti-harry truman because turbine was the president opposing stalin. frank marshall davis supposed the marshall plan, the nato he called the marshall plan colonial slavery, american imperialism, completely towed the soviet line 100%. was eventually called to washington that the democrats in december 1956 to testify soviet activities. they then identified him as a member of the communist party and eventually would go on to meet and mentor a young barack obama throughout the 1970s. >> you talk about and mentoring barack obama. how is that a mentorship? >> great question. i had one source tell me he thinks them that weekly. i see david marinus says in his new book they got upwards of 15 times and i would imagine the source to be obama because i don't know where else marinus would've got that. i'm not doubting that. it could be. 15 times would be allowed. bill clinton says his mentor william fulbright. they would meet lengthy, long periods into late evening together. obama in his memoirs refers to frank by name 22 times and then refers dozens of other time

president harry truman first learned that the united states had been developing an aton mick bomb.ed in 1939 under president frark lynn roosevelt. it was so secret that fdr never told vice president truman about it. when roosevelt died truman was sworn in. soon after the secretary of war told him scientists were building a weapon of mass destruction at a lab in mexico. months later the u.s. dropped two atomic bombs on japan triggering its surrender. truman remains the only world leader to use such a device against an enemy. he got the briefing on the bomb 69 years ago today. and now you know the news for this wednesday, april the 24th, 2013. i'm shepard smith. thanks for checking in tonight. hope you will be back with us tomorrow for fox report. same time, same place. and mr. o'reilly will be coming immediately thereafter. if he chooses and is in the mood. >> bill: the o'reilly factor is on. tonight. [explosions] [sirens] >> we have multiple people down here. >> bill: did the two bombers have financing to conduct their murder campaign? we have a factor investigation and tell you wh

when he left office, harry truman was very unpopular.er there were, you know, reassessments of him. that's been true of most of our presidents. but the problem for george w. bush is he just has less to work with when it comes to presidential rehabilitation. the smartest thing that he's done is to stay quiet. >> yes. >> over the last four years. so he seems like a less partisan figure. and that lets him be more popular because he hasn't been in there like tick cheney taking shots at president obama. but the fact remains that presidents are only remembered for a couple of big things that happened when they're in office. and i think we now do know, and it's not a rush to judgment, to say that those two big things were a trillion dollar war in iraq that was unnecessary. a war of choice, as they said. and it was the wrong choice. almost everybody agrees with that now. and the worst economic recession since the great depression. and that happened on his watch. >> indeed. >> so it's very interesting watching people try to blame obama for the ba

and so harry truman was a president who left office, not terribly popular.who has been written about often since then, his reputation has improved. in the last couple of years there have been several books about thomas jefferson. so we continue to revisit these presidents, we reevaluate, we reassess, we ask new questions, we have new evidence. and it's a very, very interesting part of hiory that it lives. it's a paradox. we study the past but it lives. >> i guess we shouldn't be surprised that a panel of historians finds history fluid, right, and legacies fluid. >> bill brant, come in on that, with a question of, especially about former presidents and how they, how they act after office and how they are later seen. >> i think that every president gets a positive bounce from the opening of his library. because this array of presidents is the closest thing win the united states have to a panth on. and all of a sudden you are elevated to the realm of president. and it's a very small and select club. and in an odd way the best thing for a president's historical

state of israel is declared, united states recognize, then harry truman, arab states tried to to kill it in the cradle. the state is not secure. in 1949 or 1950 as we saw in 56-67-73, in some of those cases you could say things are too close for comfort and in some of those cases you could say only outside intervention saved the state. it may have been check weapons at one point. americans at another point. but i think for opponents of the state of israel and for people who hated its greatest ally, a less, during the cold war and now, there was no acceptance of the notion that the state of israel is a permanent factor in the world, continuing belief that it was a colonialist imposition and that it could be turned around. this is the hamas you. it may take awhile, a day, 65 years, another 65 years, references to the crusades. the difference is for so many people did is still not done. that is why -- time is up to a level end with this. that is why i think you cannot possibly ever exaggerate the importance to israel of the closest possible, most visible ties with the united states. this

so like harry truman in the united states who when he left office his role from his numbers were very, very, very, very low. and they have grown-up as time has evolved. what do you think the direction of the judgement of history will be. >> very much in her favor. she will be concern-- considered if not the greatest woman of the 20th century. >> the greatest woman of the 20th century. >> the greatest woman of the 209th century, without a doubt. >> rose: harry, the greatest woman of the 20th century. >> yes, i agree. i agree with that. she will always be an increasingly respected, but she was never really loved because she wasn't a lovable person. >> she probably didn't care, did she? >> she didn't really care. >> she was love -- >> it was almost as if she was getting things done. that is what she wanted to do. do it, do it, do t she got it done. i think she would grow in esteem over the years. >> martin? >> well, she was the first media politician that is not often, when we want to remind ourselves of that. the voice therapy, the spin doctor, all that was her. and she wanted to be ver

they had a very hostile president in harry truman who was a firm believer in the new deal consensus. but nevertheless, they were successful. one reason, however, why their work has not been replicated very often is that politically they were the least successful. ronald reagan was reelected, the republicans held the senate during the reagan years until the 986 elections -- 1986 elections. after the gingrich elections, republicans controlled house until the 2006 elections, so they had the house for 12 years and the senate for most of that time period. the do-nothing congress was voted out in the very next election. [laughter] but in terms of actually saving this country from a a much bigger government and making it possible for us to even have the debates we were having with reagan and gingrich, i don't think you could argue with their success. i don't talk much in the book about calvin coolidge. one reason is simply marketing. there are at least three books that i know of on coolidge right now. [laughter] the second reason, coolidge governed during a period when government was still

he set up -- he set up a defense structure that cold war started with harry truman and ended with ronaldonsidered one of the near great presidents. >> i've always found it fascinating how in realtime we build up and tear down presidents. historians do the same thing. there was a time period 20 or 30 years when historians were giving truman not much credit and there was some revisionism in the late '90s. and we've seen it with grant, with polk, we'll see it with other presidents. >> right. and you look at george bush and 30, 40 years from now, obviously our pearl harbor is 9/11. and a lot of people, historians going to say america wasn't attacked again during the rest of his term over the next seven years. and painted in broad colors, broad strokes, he's going to be judged first and foremost for that. >> what's going on in the aftermath of boston. barack obama has to start worrying about his legacy and isn't going to be enough. does he want his legacy to be i failed? are there going to be any excuses big enough for history. he's got to figure out how to get some of the stuff done beyond h

especially anti-harry truman because he was the president apposing stalin. craig marshall davis took over the truman administration he oppose nato he called the marshall plan american imperialism imperialism, whites imperialism and he completes of the soviet line 100% and was eventually called to washington by the democrats by the senate judiciary committee to testify on his soviet activities. they identified him as a national member of the communist party and eventually he would go through obama as grandfather to meet and mentor of young rock obama throughout the '70s. >> host: talk about mentoring, what was their meeting, how was it a mentor ship? >> great question. i dunno how often they met one source told me they thought it was weekly i could not confirm that but david maraniss says in his new book that they've met upwards of 15 times. i would imagine this source would have to be obama because i don't know where he would have got that. i am not doubting that but that would be a lot. bill clinton cites his mentor i doubt they met 15 times but for long pe

nothing seems to work going back all the way to harry truman.ave the bush administration doing carrot and stick approach. clinton administration doing the carrot-and-stick approach. the obama administration is doing the same thing. seems around since 1990 the first george bush administration when they started developing nuclear capability they seemed to sort of have the bellicose statements they put out in order to get some sort of concessions from the west, from the other six partner talks and it's the same cycle over and over again. i don't know what there is to be done really, gregg. gregg: mary katharine ham, one thing that was done is that the white house, the president, canceled apparently the icbm minuteman test that had been planned to try to diffuse the situation. does that reflect weakness? >> well, yeah, much like julie i'm not going to pretend there is an easy answer here. why with iran and north korea, these sort of nations we're not sure what their endgame is, people, five plus six talks sound like algebra equations for so many yea

harry truman made the comment that it goes with the territory and can't think about it and go about youru need to do. theefore we leave relationship with the lincolns, did eliza johnson have a relationship with mary lincoln? >> not to my knowledge. once again, she stayed at home quite a bit. not that she traveled to washington. oftentimes other wives did travel to washington and spent times with their husbands. eliza didn't. to the boig, she did not have a relationship at all. >> is that your understanding? >> it is. eliza did come to washington for a couple of months. but health forced her back home. >> you were describing this private floor in the white house even though the public didn't see her, there was lots of family going on. a centerpiece room was what is called the yellow oval room which is turned into a library. do we have a photograph of what it looks like today? how did they use this and what was their personal life like? >> they were an extremely close-knit family. martha was always watching out for their mother and the grandchildren adored their grandparents and they were

that's what harry truman and the guys were about. that's what they were doing, and the u.s.was so incredibly economically strong in this erad economic output peaked at 51% of the world output in 1945. the idea of worrying about anybody else competing with us or losing out to anyone else is ridiculous. we are worried about the rest of the world going communism or phackist -- fascis so that's whyth decision was taken, and that was the game map for the cold war regimely. if you act nice, you have the good markets, otherwise, we put an embargo on you. it's not the only thingbut it's a part of the cold war gae pl in on until 1989 that the assumption of opening markets to the rest of the world. e th olicy,oued, ovennt toe pold ha to aaioizing i tell people all sorts of things tha econocs says that really doesn't. you make a decision like that, and like a lot of o a onomicisionscan make a oice for one reason, and itn d intellectually aentrenched i the interest groups, and you are stuck with it, so question is, okay, what do you do about it? thankfully,heeeway here. the firstti i t

there was a time when the great s roosevelt and harry truman, -- peters on the air now, a democratic column. caller: i do not know what i missed because i just turned it it could bes saying a white supremacist group. if i remember right one time they scooped up a white suprem ist. the first caller, blaming it on the people who did not look like stolen.s country was you know what i am trying to say. host: what is your evidence of that? caller: of what? host: of a white supremacist group. caller: i am just saying it could be. they always try to put it on muslims or somebody else. i am not a racist or anything but i am just saying that that is the way -- host: you have to turn the television down when we are talking. "the bostonted by globe," -- here is the first page this morning -- you some other ones courtesy of the museum. the state newspaper in south carolina -- in-line and "the houston chronicle," -- roger from st. petersburg, florida. good morning. just listened to a couple of people calling and blaming the republican party and this, that, the other. it seems incredulous to me th

"like bush, harry truman left office widely scorned largely because of the inconclusive war he left behindeen as but one battle in a much larger cold war that truman was instrumental in winning. he established the stulgs institutional and policy flnks that made possible victory almost half a century later. i suspect that history will similarly see bush as the man who by trial and error but also with principle establish the structure that will take us through another long twilight struggle and enable to us to prevail. >> eugene, you take just a little bit of a different take. >> this is when pulitzer prize winners battle. >> in all debates there is a common bond or a link. i'm sure there is. >> let's see. >> here we go. euge eugene, you write in, part -- are you going to behave? >> yes. >> are you sure? >> let's hear from these guys. >> bush didn't pay for his wars. the bills he racked up for military adventures, precipitation drug benefits and bank bailout and other impulse purchases helped create the fiscal and financial bequeathed to obama. thanks a lot for that. bush did an enormous amo
