so even though the war was starting in europe, but the united states and harry truman were not involved it in. truman would read the news but there was nothing he could do. but meanwhile, he had a girlfriend that he lived in independence, bess truman. and he decides the best way he could get from the farm to bess's home in independence was to buy a car. so he bought a 1911 model stafford automobile built in kansas city. and here's a photo of him and bess is sitting in the front seat with him and he's out for a little spin. but he's running the farm doing hard work on the farm while the war is unfolding in europe. he gives up his stint in the missouri national guard because he was needed so much at the farm. but that's where things were as the united states started heading towards war which they finally entered the 1917. when the united states finally does enter the war, harry truman rejoined the national guard. he was 33 years old. so he's older than most soldiers and that became a minor issue. the other main issue was his eyesight. and according to him, he memorized this eye chart befo

after world war ii, harry truman was careful to keep economic controls on the economy while the economy a military to a civilian mode, the reconversion of the american economy. there was no depression after world war ii. truman also believed in justice from war, the proper way to deal with former enemies is to control them and make them friends. this is what he tried to do both with germany and japan after world war ii. bring them into the society of nations. then finally, truman, getting back to justice, after world war ii, they set up the nuremberg trials to mete out legal justice to the leaders of nazi germany because he felt that it was not right just to have vengeance after a war. it was the rule of law. these are some of the lessons he drew from his experience in world war i. >> the socialist party started here in milwaukee under the of --ship there were a number of factors that really led to the formation of the socialist party here. there was this huge influx of german immigrants into milwaukee. socialist bends when they got to milwaukee. the german immigrants provided leadershi

it goes into the early 1900s, but harry truman thought it was a good idea. i think it is a good idea because denmark is losing $700 million a year with it. it does not do them any good. all they had to do was say no, we would rather not do that, or we would rather not talk about it. do not say what an absurd idea. he is not talking to me. , she isot talking to me talking to the united states of america. do not talk to the united states that way, at least under me. president obama, when they would not let him land in the philippines and when they greeted him so badly, the philippines is the one that comes to mind, that is different. they can treat him anyway they want to, that is up to him. they cannot treat the united states with the same -- with the statement how absurd. >> let your wife do it. who is the boss? >> i am the boss. pres. trump: i agree. go ahead. we have a lot of people. regard to background checks, why should anyone who wants to go -- once the buyable -- by a gun in pres. trump: the background checks? pres. trump:pres. trump: i want people to

harry truman very strongly thought it was a good idea. i think it is a good idea because denmark is losing $700 million a year with it. it doesn't do them any good. all they had to do was say no, we had rather not do that or we had rather not talk about it. don't say what an absurd idea that is. she is not talking to me. skewed me. she is not talking to me. she is talking to the united states of america. you don't talk to the united states that way. at least under me. now president obama, when they wouldn't let him land in the philippines where they treated him so badly in so many places, he fill speens one for philippines is one that comes to mind. that is different. but they can't treat the united states with a statement, how absurd. let your wife do it. who is the boss? >> i am the boss. president trump: i agree. she is the boss. go ahead. a lot of people. got a lot of people watching. go ahead. >> with regard to background checks, why shouldn't anyone who wants to buy a gun go through a background check? what's wrong with that? presid

harry truman was one of his close ets friends in the senate. truman came to the senate in 1934, very inexperienced young united states senator and becomes a member of wheeler's committee. wheeler kind of takes him under his wing, befriends him, gives truman opportunities to chair hearings and be involved in major legislation and they become fast friends for the rest of their liefrs. i mentioned he was a close friend of huey long's. long was often a guest in wheeler's home for dinner and, of course, his relationship with robert lafallat and then young bob lafallat who replaced his father in 1925 in the senate and he and wheeler became as well close associates. in fact, in i believe it was 1934 wheeler is engaged in his own reelection campaign here in montana and he leaves the campaign trail for several days to travel to wisconsin so he can campaign for a republican running for the united states senate, young bob lafallat, unheard of in our time. he was on a first-name basis with norman thomas, the six-time socialist party candidate for president

harry truman had the idea of greenland. i had the idea that other people about the idea. it goes back into the early 1900s, harry truman very strongly thought it was a good idea. i think it's a good idea because denmark is losing $700 million a year with it. it doesn't do them any good, but all they have to do is say no, we would rather not do that, or we would rather not talk about it. don't say what an absurd idea that is. because she's not talking to me. excuse me. she's not talking to me. she's talking to the united states of america. you don't talk to the united states that way. at least under me. now, president obama when it wouldn't let him land in the philippines, when they treated him so badly in so many places, the philippines is one that comes to mind, that's different. that's different. they can treat in any way they want to. that's up to him, but they can't treat the united states with a statement, how absurd.

air force space command harry truman trump is also not the 1st u.s. president to try and by greenland the last time was in 104600 president harry truman and before that in 1967 right after the u.s. completed the purchase of alaska from russia. despite donald trump's last minute cancellation of his trip to denmark he says he loves the country and expects to return to add another time but not until he says he sees improved respect shown to the united states can really help get al-jazeera the white house well john robert clemmensen joins me now from copenhagen he's an associate professor at the royal danish defense college thanks for being with us on the program from purely strategic perspective does it make sense that donald trump wants the u.s. to buy green and. well it would make sense for the u.s. to be very interested in greenland because as as your reporter just mentioned the u.s. has a strategic. strategically important base in northern greenland that's part of the missile defense system but the u.s. has been caught netting over the past decade it

back to the early harry truman very strongly thought it was a good idea.nk it is a good idea because denmark is losing $700 million a year with its. it does not do them any good. all they had to do was say, no we would rather not do that. we would rather not talk about it. don't say, what an absurd idea that is. to me.not talking she is talking to the united states of america. you do not talk to the united states that way. president obama, when they would not let him lead the philippines , the philippines is one that comes to mind. they can treated many way -- anyway they want to. they cannot treat the united states. >> who are you accusing americans of being disloyal to? we are listening to president trump who spoke a short time ago. he addressed questions on the border of mexico, guns and you heard him talking about buying agreement and why he is not going to denmark. we want to talk about the economy. we welcome someone who served on the house ways and means committee -- jack kingston. he is a surrogate for president 2020 campaign for would like to ask

it was great for harry truman, not so good for jimmy carter. jimmy carter was the incumbent. harry truman, having benefited. his role in getting the country out of the great depression. i think it's a risky strategy going into 2020. if you look at china, they have their national celebration coming up, october 1st. this is really the last stand where president trump can really push this issue i think, before that period. you are not going to see that much track action with this before october 1st. it's kind of like when we lead up to our july 4th, there's a lot of patriotism. >> neil: you can help me with this. the market is sort of like the abusive spouse who refuses to leave. sunday, you get the president talking about how optimistic he is. then they start buying. then, all of a sudden, he slaps added tariffs on the chinese. it's an unhealthy relationship, carrie, isn't it? >> oh, absolutely, neil. maybe you could use another analogy. it's like somebody pulling petals off a daisy, saying there will be a resolution, there won't be, there will be, there won't be. it makes it v

the idea that you had in fdr's mind, vice president franklin roosevelt finally chose, harry truman, used to say he could never understand how you could have a president of the united states who did not read history. [laughter] >> that is what he said. [applause] >> my wild guess is fdr -- thank you. >> to wonderscore what you're saying, fdr was a lifetime military scholar. paul can testify there are 73 books on john paul jones alone. his vision was incredible because he had the experience from world war i and understood everything. he read about churchill, he knew how to deal with the man. more than that his vision for the future, the united nations and thinkable energy he took towards establishing a world peace organization, where woodrow wilson failed is his true legacy. thank you. >> i agree. one of the nice stories, fdr not only, importantly, with woodrow wilson, got america to be in it but seriously thought that a great location would be hyde park and the idea, talks about privately building an airstrip, foreign leaders come to fly in here and a few looking for land near here, even

same thing with harry truman. his family opens up the records and harry truman begins to climb. the nixon's haven't done that so he's mired down in the low 20s in the rankings. throughout all this time his tapes are sitting there with the like a ticking time bomb and finally the foundation says we can't afford to store these. let's give them to the government and i happened to be the guy who in 2013 or whatever it was paging through, came across his nate notes. there were two great white whales. one was watergate and one was the chennault affair. you know that when you go to ocean city in the summertime when we did, you set up a card table and dump a jigsaw puzzle. on the rainy days when you are having coffee in the morning or late at night everyone tries to put a few pieces of the puzzle together. it was my luck to have found this particular piece to add this is the way history was written. >> i lived through the vietnam war.-- campaign which was 1972. is that correct? >> i had to address vietnam but the question is did nixon drag out the war for his own political purposes? i r

was surmounted by none other than harry truman at that time , not pres. harry truman. after delivering a speech in 1934, the future president of united states a learned about this iowa republicans interest in history. when induced truman grabbed the lapels of fred's coat and said something like "you got to know your history young man, if you want to be a good citizen" fred took that advice to heart. when he was elected to congress in 1954, he immersed himself in legislative affairs to commemorate a history. in 1962 he launched the u.s. capital historical society. since then the society has led an outstanding effort to educate the public about the history and heritage of our nation's legislative branch and the u.s. capital. stories are told that you never had a dig around the u.s. capitol building. if there was a whole, fred was in the whole trying to find the cornerstone. the original cornerstone of the u.s. capital. i don't know how may times he took me on tours of the capital, and told me things i have since forgotten and wish i could've remembered. it is so important

harry truman for $100 million and not the first time united states could be engaged in a real estatect? u.s. virgin island -- what are now u.s. virgin island purchased from denmark. historically, and i'm talking about decades and decades and decades ago, stuff like this did happen will what's the difference between then and now? >> well, it's a really important point, john. think about where we were geo politically in 1946 versus now. in 1946 harry truman and united states were very, very concerned in the aftermath of world war ii leading into the cold war about adversarial powers, countries gaining a foothold very, very close to the united states. greenland other than canada, mexico and some of the caribbean islands is really as close to the united states geographically as you can get. so there was real concern. what's the difference now? the difference now is something that's critically important to the peace and prosperity of the west, which is nato -- of the world, which is nato. greenland is nato because denmark is nato. so in essence, any challenge to greenland would invoke art

so he chose harry truman. often times, it has been writt written, that roosevelt just made it through the capillary choice of obscure senator from missouri. there is one account of the meeting that roosevelt and truman had after the democratic convention of 1944. they met on the south mounds of the white house, on the andrew jackson magnolia and had lunch. truman was shocked at how jittery fdr was and how old he looked at how wasted he looked even to have seen him at close range for some time. according to what truman said to one person in the circle, he said fdr told me after every great war, america needs a time of rest, and i chose you because there's a good chance you might become president. i want someone who is slightly right of center who could consolidate the changes that we have made. i think this is not an accidental choice by fdr. he had this very much in mind to someone who would serve the nation well if truman would become president. even fdr knew hugh there was a big chance he would. >> wallace a

harry truman, as you saw, pushed for health care beginning in 1945 and it took until 1965 when we finally to medicare and medicaid. interestingly, the forces against it are the same ones we are hearing about from today, the people who stand to make money from health care, although in those days it was more the physicians than the medical establishment and insurance companies. the rhetoric was so wonderfully familiar, all about socialism and bankrupting america and all that choice would be taken away and health care would be rationed. the debates remain the same although the partisans on each side have shifted, in part because our health care system has changed. medical education has gotten important and extensive and expensive. hospitals are sucking up a large part of our health care budget. saying, ill basically like the prophets as they are rofits as they are now. amy: how did it get through the senate and house? where the charges of socialism, being charged back then? how did it ultimately win? janet: it won because with the election of president johnson we had a broad coalition of dem

harry truman is the most recent u.s. president who didn't what?, i feel like i have heard this before. i think he had kids, and, like, everybody ate meat back then, so i don't think it's that. and i'm pretty sure he flew on an airplane, and i feel like i have heard that he was the last president who didn'tad. and i'm feeling good enough to say b... is my final answer. >> hard to believe, but it's true. he did not graduate from college. you got it, kevin! i don't know where you pulled it from, but you got it.

>>reporter: >> i also noticed how the visuals were important because there was a vision to harry trumanhe wasn't up for election so i think, unlike the democratic so the visuals, they were very important for selling the message of the advertisement . >> they still have the critique of the democratic party but the emphasis is definitely on the positive message you don't want to be a part of the party of the future. >> . >> first, to continue, it helps with the rewatch ability. you could probably recite not bob and night because it was too boring but the other piece, i could probably recite that from memory after watching it once but they have all the different visuals subtleties like a donkey in the background . >> i didn't even catch that the first three times i watch that but i've watched it many times. so digging into, i don't know if this had been explored in psychology but the idea of peer pressure >> had we present i in an efficient way . >> eisenhower was not happy with this but reluctantly agreed to do it because he saw the potential of reaching new audiences. he grumbled along t

same thing happened with harry truman. his family opens all of the recordings and harry truman begins to climb. sadly, the nixons haven't done that so he's mired down in the low 20s in the low rankings of american presidents. but throughout all of this time, his tapes are sitting there like a ticking time bomb and his papers are there. finally, the nixon administration says we can't afford to store these papers anymore. let's give them to the government. i happen to be the guy in 2013, whatever it was, paging through as the great biographer robert carroll said turn every page came across halderman's notes. it was like one was watergate and the shinault. you know when you go to ocean city in summertime, as we did, you set up a card table and dump a devel1200 piece jigsaw puzzle. and on rainy days, everybody adds to the jigsaw puzzle. it was my lot to have found this piece and say that's the way history was written. >> i read about the vietnam war and i got the feeling that nixon used it as a campaign in 1970, is that correc

harry truman had the idea of greenland, i had the idea, other people have had the idea. denmark is losing $700 million a year with it. it doesn't do them any good. but all they had to do was say, no, we'd rather not do that or we'd rather not talk about it. don't say what an absurd idea that is. >> for the record, reuters reports france has all but ruled out any readmission of russia to the g-7 without some progress on ukraine peace talk. and you heard trump credit harry truman for the greenland idea but today republican senator tom cotton of arkansas said he suggested the idea to the president, even met with the danish ambassador to propose the sale. the ambassador was apparently taken aback. trump also managed to stir up more division here at home with comments on guns, immigration and pulling out the loyalty of jewish voters. >> we have a lot of -- we have a lot of background checks right now. you know, it's a slippery slope and actually your gun owners and a lot of other people are concerned with. birthright citizenship where you have a baby in our land, you walk ove

when i look further, i came across, i started a story where harry truman and eisenhower are justices who did not reflect their ideology. those three particular i wanted to figure out what had happened and white and a change. it led me to the nomination of how we go about selecting justices. that's what led to the story was to see this dramatic change before 1958 and after 1960. anything beforehand is so different than anything "after words". >> the most recent judge after, the promise is not really ideological per se. >> they were attacked using somewhat similar tactics but unorthodox tactics and they become brittle confirmation until watergate, those two nomination fights were the biggest domestic battles that he had on his presidency. have an immediate "after words". the wake of what happened fordyce to be immediately seen in last three or four chapters. now you see immediate aftermath and things change so diametrically because of it. you don't have to wait in 1987. the odd thing was, with both nominations, roles are switched. thurman was the first main supporter in the senate and

the last time was 1946 under president harry truman, and before that in 1867, right after the u.s.ed the purchase of alaska from russia. despite donald trump's last-minute cancellation of his trip to denmark, he says he loves the country and expects to return at another time, but not until he says he sees improve respect shown to the united states. the french president emmanuel macron says they will not be held hostage by the uk's diplomatic crisis and warn the trade deal with the u.s. with leaf britain subordinate to washington. he made the comments before he is due to meet the british pre-minister. boris johnson enjoyed a slightly warmer reception from the german chancellor angela merkel in berlin. we have this report. >> in coming to meet angela merkel in berlin, boris johnson brought a message, one of a desire to compromise where possible. u.k. want a deal. we seek a deal. and, i believe we can get one. we can do it. i think that is the phrase.

>> i also noticed the visuals were important because there was an allusion to harry truman within the even though he wasn't up for president. i think unlike the democratic ads we saw earlier in the lecture, the visuals for i like ike are very important for selling the message of the advertisement. >> so they are selling the critique of the democratic party here. but the emphasis is definitely on that positive message, that you don't want to be part of that democratic party and truman and what has been for 20 years. you want to be part of the future. >> i have two points. first, to continue on the visual point, it really helps with the rewatch ability. i could probably recite, not the bob van bit, but the other piece i could probably recite that from memory after watching it once. but i like ike, it has all these subtleties. i didn't even catch it the first three times i watched the video and i watched it many times. but also it is very personalizing, digging into sort of, i don't know if this had been explored in psychology yet, but the idea of peer pressure. i like ike, why don't you

but harry truman very strongly thought it was a good idea.hink it's a good idea, because denmark is losing $700 million a year with it. it doesn't do them any good. all they had to do was say, "no, we'd rather not do that." or, "we'd rather not talk about it." don't say, "what an absurd idea that is." excuse me. she's not talking to me. she's talking to the united states of america. you don't talk to the united states that way. at least under me. now, president obama, when they wouldn't land and land in the philippines, when they treated him so badly that so many place, the philippines is the one that comes to mind. that's different. they can treat him any way they want to. that's up to him. but they can't treat the united states with the statement, "how absurd!" >> reporter: sir, who are you accusing american jews of being loyal to? >> president trump: let your wife to it. she's the boss, i agree. go ahead. we've got a lot of people. a lot of people watching. go ahead. >> reporter: in regards to background checks, why should anyone who wants

right after worlwar ii there was another attempt where president harry truman offered $100 million to denmark to buy greenland, and it was a quid pro quo, theyin were to give denmark a portion of alaska so that they could do excavation and oil research and things like that. that was the plan, and the u.s. would take all of greenland. but denmark refused ca that time e they saw the strategic benefits of keeping greenland theirs. d laurmark has refused this time and so has greenland, so it ems like a nonstarter. vivian: absolutely, and even if denmark wanted to and greenland did not, for example, that would be a nonstarter, too, because at sovereign cannot transfer a country to another sovereign. things don't work that way anymore in the world. but also, denmark wouldn't want to. for denmark, greenland is what makes it a major player in nato, not to mention the fact that they have access to the natural resources and the strategic benefits its position in the arctic. that is why the united states is interested in it, too, not to mention that it is a real-estate bargain for president trum

it was considered when harry truman was president 1946, but it was also considered in 1867 by seward who had just bought alas alaska. that's the context here, but i have spoken to nato ministers after he blows up in brussels and interrupts people and is rude to angela merkel. i've spoken to nato defense ministers, foreign ministers. already the view abroad is that this is a total aberration. they're not rejecting america and anti-american as they were doing disputes over iraq and previously over vietnam. but it's a real visceral dislike for him in most of these capitals. that's why he's going to poland where he has friends and hungary. he's found his soul mates and his people, his ambassador to germany has been talking about moving u.s. troops out of germany. the most important economic and military partner in all of on your -- europe and nato and moving them to poland. that's on the map. >> speaking of where he's liked, he's also once again agitating to get russia back into the g-7. >> that is another whole issue. i wanted to play a little bit of the danish prime minister today. she

and harry truman. miredhing -- next sin is down in the low 20's in the rankings of american presidents. of thisoughout all time, and tapes are sitting there like a ticking time bombs as well as his papers. nixon -- the next in foundation finally decided it could not store the papers anymore, give them to the government. -- as ae guy paging great biographer says, turn every page. i came across these notes. there were two great white whale and one wasistory watergate and the other was this affair. when you go to ocean city in the summertime, when we did, you set up a card table and dropped a 1200 piece jigsaw pill -- jigsaw puzzle and on rainy days or with coffee in the morning, or at night, everyone goes by and tries to put in a few pieces of the puzzle. it was my privilege to get this piece. >> i lived through the vietnam war. that nixon,pression right after the war, used it as a campaign [indiscernible]. is that correct? vietnamhad to address but the question is did next and drag out the vietnam war f

they tried to do it in 19116, when harry truman offered denmark $100 million for the territory.are, have used tear gas, batons and water cannons to disperse hundreds of anti—government protesters. plenty more on our website and on twitter. i'm @krupapadhybbc. thanks for watching. good evening. wet and windy has been the order of the day for much of the uk. across england and wales, the rain really set in two this afternoon was to we have seen some heavy bursts. it a different story for northern ireland and parts of scotland, as that rain cleared eastwards, the skies brightened up. for all of us, it's been blustery courtesy of this unseasonably deep area of low pressure, which will remain dominant throughout the weekend as it meanders eastwards. and there's still some rain around this evening. it gradually works its way eastwards to the early hours of the morning, clearing far south east eventually. behind it, clearskies but also some showers, heavy and potentially thundery for the north and west of the uk. the temperatures don't drop very far. a mild start to saturday morning. f

>> i also noticed how the visuals were important because there was an illusion to harry truman whiche trail with stephenson although not up for election, of course. so unlike the democratic ads we saw earlier in the lecture, the visuals for "i like ike" are very important for selling the message of the advertisement. >> uh-huh. so there still is a critique of the democratic party in here. but the emphasis is definitely on that positive message that, you don't want to be a part of that democratic party and truman and what's onbeen runnin for 20 years. you want to be a part of this party of the future. >> well, i have two points. first, to continue on the visual point, it really helps with the rewatchable. it's like, i could probably recite not ta bob and ike bit because that was too important to pay attention to. but the other piece, i could probably resite that from th memory after watching it once. but "i like ike," it has all these visual subtleties like adalaid stephenson on a donkey riding on the background in sill wet that i didn't even catch that the first three times i watched

of saying something big good it don't mean oh this is something good to discuss the many years harry truman had the idea of greenland i had the idea the people who had the idea all they had to do was say no we'd rather not do that or we'd rather not talk about it don't say what is absurd idea that is. this whole episode over trump's apparent burning desire to buy greenland has amused people the world over in denmark add some indignation into the mix. i heard it was because he couldn't buy cream and so if he starts to put. i think it's good that he's not coming i'm going to do scans rude and mean i really mean that but if you can't do that to me it sounds like he cancelled because his feelings were we don't rename and use a pursuit that she thinks she can buy another country he just got tommy and said oh well i was going can't stay as yeah i don't know what i'm doing they're already present in so many other ways so i don't know why he wants to omit all the we're going to bring them this for the green and people. and nobody is. all right that was the reaction from denmark let's get the view f
