and here's harry truman speaking before the naacp. the letter apologizing to his mom for what he was going to say because he knew his mom did not, would not have approved. >> what truman was not only a first president to address the naacp, he was also the first president since reconstruction to submit a civil-rights packageto congress . and this was, it didn't get path obviously. a survey taken at the time showed six percent of americans favored civil-rights limit legislation. if you took the south out of that survey, it was one percent. 21 ports to present is even a strong argument. and this is the mark of all of these threepresidents . they were frequently ahead of public opinion. one was president obama so we are leading from behind. eisenhower, johnson had to do that. they led the front. and just when let me review a brief passage including truman's presidency. truman placed before the american public the disparity between the declaration of independence and conditions in postwar america with respect to racial, religious and econom

he arranged a meeting with harry truman and the white house and harry truman was not terribly impressionedwith this flamboyant young evangelist. beginning with the ieisenhower administration, graham manies to insinuate himself into the eisenhower administration and even offered to do diplomatic missions in the course of his travels around the world. he had a less close relationship with john kennedy for a number of reasons, including kennedy's catholicism. but through the years established some relationship with every american president through barack obama. >> and again, we just saw the hearse arrive. a busy can imagine carrying the family members and north carolina delegation people who were close to the reverend billy graham who will be part of this ceremony. we expect to hear from the leerds of congress and do expect to hear from the president of the united states. on this day. >> barry black also the chaplain for the united states senate which will be also important. >> what do you think he did to have such a direct impact, reverend on political figures in this country? >> well, you k

so when roosevelt died, harry truman became president. when harry truman was inaugurated in 1949, after his election in 1948, he came to st. john's and had a pre-inaugurational worship service here before he was sworn in for his full term as president. subsequent to that time, other presidents have had pre-inaugural services in churches or elsewhere. not necessarily in st. john's, but the tradition began here, and it began with franklin roosevelt. that's one more example of the association of st. john's with presidents and part of the heritage of this building. it's always been available as a place, and an intimate place, for services that people might wish to have. for example, when president kennedy was assassinated on november 22, 1963, reverend john harper, the rector of st. john's at the time, was contacted by president lyndon johnson and asked if the following day, the saturday, on november 23rd around noon, if st. john's would have a brief memorial service on behalf of president kennedy. of course, the church was quite happy to com

there is no harry truman wing of the democratic party no more. there is no joe lieberman wing. it's really very similar what's happened in britain with jeremy corbyn and the labor party. this is a prescription for them to take themselves into political irrelevant rance. because working class democrats. the people who voted for ronald reagan. many of the same people and their children who voted for donald trump in the industrial midwest are appalled by this kind of behavior. and the democrats are bringing it on themselves. i think it was so revealing. you couldn't have scripted it better. >> laura: yuajuan. >> i think the ambassador is right about the parties going to the extreme so that i think he is right. the democrats are being driven to the farther left because of the antipathy toward trump but remember republicans had a strong antipathy towards president obama and were driven to the right. when i look at this and going back to what you were discussing at the top here, laura, i look at president trump coming out last night and saying i've got the biggest tax cut for you eve

preached in villages and in britain's windsor castle and provided counsel from every president from harry truman to barack obama. he also stood up forto u what ws right, denouncing segregation, oppression, preaching jointly with the reverend martin luther king jr. in the 1950s and lived a life of integrity and honor. he spoke words of comfort and hope at the national cathedral following the september 11 terrorist attack, reminding america that god is our refuge and strength and ever present help in trouble. he will be deeply missed. i send my condolences to his children and grandchildren and the numerous great and children, yet graham himself said, my home is in heaven. i am just passing through this world. today we honor the life that he lived, his faithfulness to the calling and his impact on millions of individuals around the globe. if i may take just another moment before my colleague from north carolina speaks, i want to read you some remarks that were made by individuals who played an important role in american history. president bill clinton said some were pressuring graham to segregate h

so with electoral politics to surprise the pundits if you are a politician then your hero is harry truman the hail mary victory you could still pull out at the end. >> david mccullough has a magisterial book but if you want real insight why truman was such a great leader and why, historian leaders and political scientists read the book on truman and macarthur it is a fantastic insight onto the mindset of here is a guy a haberdashery from independence missouri and a political hack chosen in the 1944 election for his work on a senatorial committee looking into the war but nobody considers him to be a first rate intellect. but his ability to maneuver as president with these huge figures is pretty remarkable. it is available at the bookstore he will personally autograph. [laughter] >> also, go ahead. >> and graduate school historian named divine one who reconsidered harry truman. though his slogan was to air is human lung -- human but air is divine.

with 11 modern presidents stretching back to harry truman.thanks again for being here today michael. faith and politics have always been linked in this country edited king james bible has his own book of prayer. patrick henry learned a fiery oratory at the et too of the great awakening and billy graham you write in your book may have present at the baptism of the religious write in america and yet he was a very different character politically and spiritually perhaps from people like jerry fall well certainly ralph reid how no? >> at the moment america's third great awakening takes place in the 1970s there was a huge spiritual revival in the country. that is happening across all sorts of faith and spiritual traditions it's -- not just sort of contemporary christianity. but mainly that. graham is reeling with his rope with richard nixon he got too close and used badly and was way too involved politically tape recorded thanks to things he regrets 35 years later. and he -- in the mid-70s pulls back, goes under the radar, stops being so public. ke

>> with those numbers it is indicative of where they wind up with harry truman because what you think42 was low for trump. but to consider truman was 25% 25% but yet today ranked as the sixth greatest president. so that is not necessarily indicative. and that totality of the record. anything that truman did with the marshall plan. and with roosevelt and people responded to that. so that splaying fat. so with the top ten jfk was number eight or nine. some people think that is controversial. that is an interesting debat debate.sometimes wondering if kennedy had not been assassinated but he could have been higher up which itself was very contrived by jacqueline kennedy invented that after his death to build him a. will -- up.

i liked harry truman. and of course, barack obama. host: for harry truman, what qualities?imes: racially, for the he came up, he opened up the army to blacks and he did a lot of good things behind the scenes . he was down to earth. he was a down-to-earth individual. i liked harry truman, personally. host: elliott on twitter says -- when it comes to fdr, one of the governmentdents, big and welfare society he started will sooner or later bring this country down. an op-ed, taking a look at george washington this day. lookingon saw citizens for a savior to waltz and from the government to solve every problem weakens the nation and citizens ofe personal responsibility. this never ends well for everyday citizens. if the country follows elections's examples, will become less consequential because government will become less consequential in the lives of the american people. washington clearly understood power is not something to amass, barter with, or cling to, nor is it a tool for pursuing political purposes and self-promotion. washington knew the future of the nation was not dep

could communicate with average folks. >> and he had a relationship with every president since harry trumanp back and think about that for a second. >> that's true. the relationship with truman did not get off to a good start because graham was very young then and he didn't really understand white house protocol. and one of the great ironies is that the president to whom he was closest thee lodgeally, jimmy cart er, was a president with whom he probably had arguably the most distant relationship. one of the great ironies of american presidential politics over the last half century. >> and so incredibly close to lyndon johnson and richard nixon and billy graham had to answer for a lot of his relationship with nixon and he would own up to the difficulties he had as well. >> he did and mr. graham really had a way of kind of plunging in to politics. he was drawn to politics like a moth to a flame. he just loved politics. in fact, many people encouraged him to run for office himself and he didn't do that. he was drawn to it. >> randall balm eer, thanks for helping us understand that remarkable l

that on my bookshelf there was a copy of the first economic report of the president from 1947 and harry truman in it said this. he said the economic report is an opportunity for national self-examination in some criticism. it's a challenge to the president and the congress to determine the causes of whatever problems we face in our economic life. in find a solution to those problems. that is what we endeavor to do at the council of economic advisers. and what we endeavor to this report that came out yesterday. we reached the president on it yesterday 11:30 in the oval office and i encourage all of you to read it because it's a scintillating read. the economic report has eight chapters in the first after is an economic outlook where we project in our policies will create a 3% growth rate going forward over the next ten years. gdp will be about $2 billion higher in 2028 because a person comes policies. each of the chapters after that if you go to taxes and growth in the regulation, labor market policies, infrastructure investment and enhancing global trade and innovative policies for america's h

he met and prayed with harry truman. over the years, he was close to nearly every u.s. president, sometimes, according to his daughter ruth, he couldn't help but give his opinion. >> mr. johnson was asking him for some sort of political advice and my mother kicked him under the table. my dad said, why did you kick me under the table. mr. johnson looked at daddy and said, billy, you're right. you stick to preaching. i'll stick to politicking. >> reporter: perhaps his most complicated relationship was with richard nixon whom graham referred to as his old quaker friend, a friend who realized the billy graham could help him politically. >> it was clear they were using him in any way they could to bring support, bring his people, must get billy graham and his people involved in this. he was being used. he came to understand that. that changed his relationship. >> reporter: billy graham visited more than 185 countries and territories, building bridges and breaking cultural barriers. his reputation opened the iron curtain. he visited the soviet union, china and north korea. >>

and they're talking about the election, and roosevelt reaches for a pot of tea, and poured into harry truman glass and hand is like this. he can't get the tea in the glass. and truman the vice president he -- excuse me vice presidential candidate realizes this is -- he realizes i think at that time where this is going. at the time of the 1944 election, 55 prkt percent of americans could name the running mate wasn't that that means 45% really had no idea, literally no idea who this guy was. they won the election. 82 days later, truman is walking through the white house door. right? so think about this. the nation is in shock. he's in the white house he has to walk into roosevelt office and everybody they don't know the staffers. they don't know who this guy is and all of the staffers kept diaries a lot of them in the library so fascinating them. a lot of them are published. and -- truman put a sign on his desk so i'll begin to make a point here. truman puts a sign on his desk that says always do right. this will gratify some people an astonish the rest.

i blame harry truman after the second world war. why did he ever agree that the koreas be split up between north and south at the 30th parallel. what was the logic there? caller: it is a good question. i love these callers who care about history. i wish our young students and college cared so much. the logic was very simple. the the united states and soviet union were cooperating together at the end of world war two, to defeat germany in europe and japan in asia, the u.s. and the soviet union agreed that the soviets would take over the demilitarization of the north above the 30th parallel. , demilitarizeans in the japanese who are on the peninsula. the problem is, this is something the south koreans and north koreans remained very upset and resentful about. the problem is that the division at the 38th parallel was a random decision made by two junior level officers of the u.s. military, who within a 25 minute span looked at a map, and said we will draw the line here. the soviets will take care of the north. america will take care of

famous cartoon that we have in the collection, the 1948 presidential election where you had truman, harry truman, running against thomas dewey. before the election, pulls widely for case -- forecast that thomas dewey was going to win. here we have him saying what the use of going through this election at all? here we have polls that he is going to carry virginia, get 333 electoral college votes. when ended up happening is the truman won the election and became president. depicts the activity in congress after the election of franklin roosevelt. can see members of congress going from the house with the assistance of a young page carrying lots of ways toion relating to solve problems that arose during the great depression. he is sweating under the burden of the legislation they are trying to pass. is from 1906. in it, berryman is sort of poking fun at the legislative process. the bill here was quite popular at the time, intended to regulate the rates the railroads could charge. but really, the particular piece in the cartoon is almost irrelevant in terms of the timelessness of the cartoon. you see

here we are with harry s. truman. harry truman would spend some of his winters in key west, florida, at what was called the little white house. while at the little white house, he started wearing these button up shirts. we think of as a hawaiian shirt. they became very fashionable very quickly. he found them to be more comfortable in the heat. and it affected men's fashion. so a lot of men around the country started wearing these shirts. it was a real big boom for the men's clothing companies throughout the country. it became known as the key west uniform. he really liked the shirts a lot. here we are with dwight eisenhower. and what we have from dwight eisenhower is one of his paintings. after golf, his second favorite passion was painting. he painted over 260 paintings in the 20 years after he was president. he first got started painting after watching a portrait being painted of his wife. and that got him interested in painting. though when his stuff was on exhibit at a new york art gallery in 1967, he said, and i

they were right on the median we inherited all the way back from harry truman. at the end of their administration, because we kept having low growth years after low growth years, on average they overestimated growth over those ars eight years by 1.2%. they finally came up with a story as to why we should expect low growth. cea and this white house don't accept that there's a new normal. we think if you read the economic report, there's a very strong case to be made that we can just go back to normal and stop modifying the word normal when we think about the economy. >> 4% growth or higher at some point down the line, is that gret aggressive? >> the president and i have talked about this. if you think about what a 3% year looks like, it's never, three, three, three, three, three. a 3% year is four, two, four, two. having some quarters where we have growth that's in excess of three are probably pretty high given the ambitious agenda that's partially enacted. with that, raj is tell meeg i have to go. thank you so much for your attention. it's an honor to be here. >

it's very interesting though that if harry truman would have given macarthur that kind of authority we would have had the third world war. it's the general's report out of the politician but if the politician is a wall and i think that's the case right now this is what we get when you go tomorrow in beirut let's go a little bit closer to home to you there's a lot of open chatter right now with israel's heightened involvement i mean it's you know what is it over the even the last year it is the legally. violated syria's airspace and looks like now the syrians are not accepting that and they're making it very clear but there's a lot of talk chatter that israel is eyeing another war against hezbollah again fighting a war against lebanon and it seems this all kind of goes into it because that is the paradigm. in iran that's their narrative right here interestingly enough you have the united states based in syria as well i mean all the puzzle pieces seem to be coming together go ahead and beirut. yes i definitely agree with that specially after the blow that was taken by the israeli occupat
