henry a. wallace had four years aboutas a vice president. during that time, he did more than any other vice president had done up until that time. he served as president roosevelt's liaison to the manhattan project and that was the development of nuclear energy for weaponry. at first, he was intrigued by the whole notion of nuclear energy. when he saw what was being developed, he stood up and he said no this cannot be used against other human beings. when he made points such as that and he wasn't afraid to make those type of statements and to talk about it, he began to be questioned by other people and he became less popular through the years. another thing relating to the war that henry a. wallace did was as the war was winding down, he became vocal that the united states should not get into aned aer is scary position with the soviet union. there were people talking about that russia was going to be the next entity that the united states needed to be fearful of. because of that, that was the downfall for henry a. wallace. we know what happe

after a recount, cuellar moved ahead by 58 votes to the race ended up going to court and in the end henry cuellar declared the winner of the seat. he upset a sitting democratic member of congress in a primary. in 2006, rodriguez came back to try to get his revenge. cuellar, of course, by then infuriated national liberal groups. the conservative group, the club for growth, you've probably heard of them, came in and endorsed henry cuellar. i was reporting on that race back then when i was at "roll call." the very first time ever the club for growth endorsed a democrat. that was the context for george bush clasping henry cuellar. seeing an old buddy for the election and gives that buddy a good luck clasp. cuellar ended up survivsurvivin though. democrats after that election stopped trying to oust him. for as long as they wanted to, they figured he was going to be representing the slice of south texas in congress. now flash forward to right now, all these years later, we are being reminded why he drove democrats nuts in the first place. >> so congressman, by that i take it you mean he should

a year. >> ed henry is traveling with the president. he joins us live from dallas. ed? >> good to he see u greta. i thought what was significant there, the president pushing back on what has really dogged him now for basically a a week. long before this trip even started today here in dallas, before he goes on to austin, which is why are you fundraising instead of going to visit the border. the president saying this is not theater, not a photo op. he wants to work with republicans to fix the problem. he did make at least some progress today by sitting down with the texas governor rick perry. as you know is he a fierce republican critic of this president. initially perry said that he would snub the president. doesn't want to meet him he on the tarmac. instead are a agreeing to meet each other one on one. they had a friendly greeting on the tarmac and went behind closed doors. any major talk no. the president saying it shouldn't be hard for congress to pass this 3.7 billion-dollar emergency funding bill to deal with the border crisis. he says it shouldn't be hard. in fact

as a matter of fact, hitler was quoted in 1933 saying, you know, honoring henry ford, saying that henry ford was his hero. so there was a connection between these people that was written a lot about at the time that makes them so incredibly controversial. however, once the war started i think it was very clear that these two gentlemen that were is is -- that were so controversial and had received these medals had their hearts in the right laces, and they wanted to serve, and they wanted to win the war. >> well, and we sort of got to that point slow hi which is illustrated in the book where henry ford and charles lindbergh were no fans of president roosevelt, and it was a struggle, i think, for roosevelt to turn this arsenal of democracy from, you know, sort of dormancy and reluctance into something that turned out to be war-winning. so how did he pull that off, a.j.? >> it was difficult. the new deal was very controversial. roosevelt d when we think of roos related to, we think, well, here's this character who was so gloved and who really represented americanism all over the world. but

henry cuellar. what he's doing isn't a kiss, but a cusping of his cheeks. we can call it a clasp. it was the clasp. less famous than the kiss, but it's very significant right now. the clasp. the thing is, when that picture was taken, henry cuellar was running for re-election in texas, just a month after that picture was taken. that picture, clasp, happened a few months before in the heat of a primary campaign when he was being challenged in the democratic primary. the picture could have been toxic. could have been the equivalent to the kiss. it could have been what the kiss was to joe lieberman. henry cuellar was facing the same basic charge lieberman was facing in connecticut. liberals who believed he was way too close, way too friendly to george w. bush and wanted him gone. it didn't work. here's the henry cuellar story. in the 2000 presidential election, when he was a state representative in texas, he chose to back then-republican governor george w. bush for president over his own party's candidate, al gore. he was basically a bush surrogate. bush campaign proceeded to use cuell

henry. do you think that's a mistake, ed? >> i think it could blow up in the president's face. t republicans like rick perry demanding that he go to the border now. henry from texas saying not only should the president go to the border but he has been slow to react. that's a democrat saying it. an elected office holder. so the bottom library is the president is under fire right now. and when there is a hurricane or natural disaster. you know, they say around here look, lower level officials can go. the president has been briefed, sure. that's what happens in the early stages. when the crisis develops. president himself republican -- that's not what this president is doing so far. look how democrats beat up on george w. bush how he was out to lunch. now it's on the other foot. >> going to texas to raise money. is it all fundraising down there? >> there is about three fundraisers, various democratic committees. the house democrats, senate democrats. policy stuff doing down there, it's a money play. political play, right? >> he is giving in fairness an economic speech while he is h

a distinction made there. unfortunately, needham came home early. henry stayed despite the fact that both had very serious injuries. so needham got a lot of play when he came back without henry. but when henry came back, he became the star of the show and, essentially, drowned out needham roberts and, in fact, a lot of people didn't even at some point know that needham was actually, you know, a partner in this event. that's how much the attention focused on henry. and, of course, needham is nowhere to be found in the parade. i do have footage of the parade, and you can see henry johnson standing with flowers in his hand and acknowledging the crowd during the parade, but he became the man. in fact, when hayward gave a speech in albany a after the war, it was with henry johnson and the flyer or bill for the event said "come hear our hero speak." so needham was -- and this was a problem for needham. it caused him, i think, mental anguish, that he had become forgotten. in fact, he wrote a pamphlet which basically tried to put him back in the center -- >> of w

we have a trial where it is easy to pick apart the trial, and say that the trial of henry wirz is not a legitimate trial, this is a trial of vengeance, vengeful northerners taking on who of courseain incarcerated people who ended up of the like this, one questions that we should ask about andersonville, is not why wirz was tried, but why is he the only one who was tried, and one thing we want to think about when we think about the end of the wirz trial but the failure to try a certificate number of other confederate leaders for what we would today describe as war crimes. one of the problems with the jurisprudence of post-civil war america is that no one has a conception of really what a war crime is. trial, theyut on want to put him on trial for murder. you have to prove that he murdered prisoners of war himself. is fairly strong evidence that he shot prisoners of war, and there is fairly strong evidence he may have simply killed or ordered killed the summary execution -- may have ordered the summary execution of people for no good reason at all. but what this really is is the the con

henry, a slowly growing school of thought, that ed bezos is losing the leash afforded for a long time>> another school of thought, that he is tuning out short-term concerns which is incredibly unusual. focusing on the 5 to 10 to 20-year future and that made this an extraordinary stock for the last five years. they're not focused on quarters. i can already hear the moaning after they report tonight. oh, they can't make any money. it's terrible. it's over valued. and yet look where the investments they're making. my guess, some will pay off over the long term. >> i mean, the past month for amazon stock has actually been pretty good. i think it will be interesting to see, given how well some other companies are doing this earnings cycle, whether investors continue to want to put their money with amazon. they do have a growth story. they're ambitious, pushing into grocery and some other areas, but facebook is also doing well. apple is getting ready to have a big product launch. you could argue ebay had issues. looking to put money somewhere, do you still put it with amazon? do you put it
