all of them witnessed firsthand the rise of hitler in germany and fascism in europe. we are seeing similarly ominous developments. auden declared in 1937 a writer's duty is to make action urgent and its nature clear. what duty or urgent action did they take? what action do we, as writers and citizens? steven spender became a communist and went to madrid to, fighting a proxy war against hitler and mussolini. before auden left for madrid, he wrote the poem spain, identifying that conflict as the critical the struggle of his generation. but neither of them stayed long. auden later repudiated the poem and never spoke of what he witnessed in spain. with the benefit of mind sight -- hindsight we have asked of this generation hour work did their precious yens, who of them was the most courageous, who the most naive? where were they in september 1939 when england declared war on germany? hindsight has imposed a simple plot on that the decade, one that contrives to set the stage for world war ii with its unspeakable genocides, the aerial bombardment of european cities, million

nor was this final strategy of rebirth through common ruins something special born of adolph hitler onlye general staff, who were old hands at it these were the words of the general talking before the berlin military academy at war's outset. we germans must number twice the population of our neighbors. therefore we shall be compelled to destroy 1/3 of the population of all adjacent territories. we can best achieve this through systematic malnutrition, in the end, far superior machine guns. starvation works more effectively especially among the young. starvation works more effectively, especially among the young. [baby crying] >> unquestionably of all the victims in the program against whole populations the most pitiful have been the young. even after liberation, the access to legacy of fear hunger and hate, to be nourished in an atmosphere of desperation, despair, calculated to supply the new tools, the new hitlers and mussolinis, for an even bloodier tomorrow. but with the lesson of two world wars to learn from if any of us among the united nations give fascism its coming plan open road

not at all hitler. hitler said. our people are miserable we must act now also that they do not join the communists. in january nine hundred twenty three french and belgian troops occupied the rule region because germany had fallen behind in its war reparations payments. those payments contributed to an economic crisis that included runaway inflation the german government kept printing more and more money. much one point a loaf of bread cost four hundred sixty billion marks. the thirteen year old son described the situation. when our father brings home his daily pay we spend it right away because the money will soon be worthless. in the rule region tensions increased between the local residents and the occupation troops. these pictures show a french officer assaulting germans who failed to remove their hats during a funeral procession. called november the ninth one thousand nine hundred twenty three hitler and his cohorts staged a coup attempt in munich. the uprising was quickly put down by police and soldiers. hitle

hitler's did it without the internet. -- hitler's did it without the did itt -- hitler without the internet. why are people appalled by blame lies they read online when the truth is so easy to ascertain? don't seem to hear when other people are telling them fax. they hear what they want to hear. and that's how it all gets distorted. i guess the internet is a way that -- this makes it even worse. i guess that's about all i can -- >> this is a subject of major and -- of major interest. we think we can't rely on internet or mass distribution of views. in faitho have conversation to re-create communities. be innk it's important to secondary schools, middle schools, colleges, community groups, where you have people outside of their silos. >> why do you think the institutions of the judiciary and the press failed in germany? >> why do you think the press and judiciary failed in germany? >> first of all, remember i was 13 years old. it's a little hard for me to understand what happened with the judiciary. he could, heon as put in his own judges. one thing was certain, the germans were very opd and

in fact, until hitler was dead. so there was, if you like, a victory you euphoria in all the particular quarters at that time, both british and american, believing it was just one more push, and the war would come to an end. now, montgomery was, of course, determined to try to get across the rhine before general patton. and he felt that if he could use the first allied airborne army, he could then drop these airborne divisions in a line running north from the belgian frontier all the way up to arnhem. as you say, quite rightly, in your opening that no plan survives contact with the enemy, the trouble was that there had already been 14 plans since d-day for different airborne operations. now, some of them were launched -- i mean, some of them were planned in such a russia, actually, they would have been a disaster in most places. but they were all canceled. now, for the american airborne divisions who had already fought with great bravery in normandy and very effectively, they were not too put off by these cancellati

hitler. because of his way of sorting out problems. he made a phenomenal mistake. in the course of the battle. he refused to block the bridge. the bridge was in a way, a justice just as important. felt that hitler had accused him of, he was one of the few generals who got away with disagreeing with hitler. he was confused even though they treat the command and all of the other generals with desperate to have it blown up. this is was one of the reason why the operation should never have been allowed to go ahead. if he hadn't blown it up, there is no way that the british guards could have or have gotten there on time. that's one of the other reasons why the operation should never have been allowed to go forth. but from that, i think he handled the extremely well. especially the logistics side. coming straight from texas right up to the front line. wasting time by transmitting them and trans or anything like that. they pardon on the very first night, germany. to the border. i think he handled it

he told him to read extremist material and hitler's mein kampf. you have to be a member first, which you ain't. 0k. and this is the initiation — you do that on your own, everyone does that on their own. where did you hear about us? i heard your name on podcasts, radio aryan, and i've seen you guys online. cool austin ross became the first person to be jailed in the name of srn. he got six years. his family say they had no idea of his links to the group and they are devastated by what's happened. hours after speaking to srn, they e—mailed us the posters they wanted us to put up for our initiation. he's asking me to commit acts of vandalism that incite racial hatred. we didn't do what they wanted, but we sent srn images suggesting we had. after that, communication came to an end. spreading or inciting racial hatred is a crime. in mid wales, vehvilaenen won't be returning to the village he wanted to turn into a neo—nazi zone. he was jailed for eight years and discharged from the army. alex deakin got nine years. you're listening to radio aryan. but o

hitler did it without the internet. why is it today people are not aballed by the blatant lies they read online when so many truths are so easy to ascertain. >> i'm sorry have a hearing problem. that comes with old age, too. >> okay, i will repeat it. hitler did it without the internet. why is it that today, people are not appalled by the blatant lies they read online when many truths are so easy to ascertain? i'm not sure you can comment on this, but this is the first question we have. >> well, that's a very hard question to answer, because it seems to me that people are tuned in to what they want to hear. and they just don't seem to hear what other people are telling them are facts. they just hear what they want to hear, and that's how it all gets distorted. and i guess the internet is a way that this makes it even worse. i guess that's all about i can say in that regard. >> this is a subject that is a major interest in the pulitzer center, one of the reasons we put so much focus on education and outreach, because we

bands, practice marching under the tattoolage of teams from thing you club and gymnastic society hitler's birthday is just around the corner. there will be parades. the party men will march in uniformed shirts, arms raised, straight out before them, saluting like the fuhrer. these moments smooth be unfolding in 193's germany but instead the afternoon scene is typical of a host of towns in southern brazil, where a million ethnic germans lived on the eve of world war ii. ethnic italians and japanese, too,'sed in countries from mexico to argentina, as world war ii loomed in europe. president franklin delano roosevelt's greatest fear was that fascists, especially nazi, in latein america would threaten the security of the united states, of 100 meetings of the joint planning commission of the u.s. state navy and war departments in 1939 and '40, all but six had america at the top -- littan america at the top of the agenda. this is, i'm guessing, little known, and one wonders why was franklin roosevelt so worried about fascists being powerful and posing a risk to the united states. one of the rea

hitler's won. france,land lost a napoleon lost to the grand iniance, and hitler's lost the end, catastrophically, as his short war delusions ran into law -- into long war attrition, andthe allies capacity endurance for defeat. these baleful victories -- we ought to learn more about the american -- learn more from the american civil war. that's not the conclusion they made at the time. unfortunately the civil war ended in 65 and the austrians were decedent in seven weeks in 1866, and the french and seven months in 1870. infrench in seven months 1870. in other words, the german victories of the midcentury point of the 19th century, i think did so much damage to military thinking and german military thinking and diplomacy, in particular -- and here on following in your footsteps -- but the almost entire officer corps and german political class ignored and dismissed the them when hehed to came around to the conclusion that what he had done could not be repeated. he specifically warned them in his retir

hitler got his ideas for his race laws from our race laws. the problem is now we have people prepared to use violence to bring about something that is impossible. you cannot have racial purity. if it ever existed, and it didn't, but if it had come it is gone. you cannot reverse biological -- dominant genes work the way they work. you are not going to do this unless you are prepared to wipe out entire populations of people. that is the implication. that is why people are talking about this being fascism. it is the slippery slope to actual genocide, the alt-right trying to remove people you see as tainted, not enough, not the right kind of people who keep your nation from being a fantasy of homogenous blood. they will use violence to try to bring about this fantasy. brian: you sound like you are not so sure that you ever want to come back to this country. prof. churchwell: that is not true at all. i am trying to show that this is always there. we fight before and we need to fight it again. if you love america, you do not walk away from it. i am

liz: he was talking about hitler there.ews has compared trump to saddam hussein and mitch mcconnell to saddam hussein. is that how you make a point? >> you can make any assumptions you want and come to a conclusion. but drawing an analogy between donald trump and hitler is not necessary at this time at all. liz: ford, let's get to the allegations that trump facilitated campaign violations. that he directed an illegal payment. all done to help the campaign avoid losing voters. it smells fishy. but there are lots of holes to the democrats. whether you believe trump or not, it's about reasonable doubt. trump can say i used my own money. i was worried about my marriage. >> if after 18 months and tens of millions of dollars special counsel mueller and his cronies can only device campaign contributions. after the access hollywood tape do you think these possible hush payments influenced voters? voters knew donald trump had skeletons in his closet and they didn't care because he was running against hillary clinton. liz: even campa

he sees hitler seizing power and he's reporting back to rome about what's going on. >> pious xi and bocelli had a unique relationship. poe chelly was critical in helping to steer much of the major decisions that piusxi made. he asked him to become his secretary of state. and so pachelli becomes the second most powerful man in the power of the church. >> as fash shix explodes all europe, catholics become enemies of the state. >> the thing about catholics in particular, catholics had a relationship, a devotion to something outside of government. >> there's going to be conflict over the status of catholic youth groups and whether these youth groups ought to be brought under the umbrella of fascist

henry 5th, napoleon won and hitler won at kiev. and capacity for endurance of defeat. there are exceptions. we look back at the american civil war and see it was a precursor of what was still to come. the civil war ended in 65 and awes streel strooeins defeated in 68 and 66. and german victories did so much damage to german military thinking in particular and the german officer core and he warned them my quick victories can not be repeated and do in the expect it. and they planned and revised and rerevising a lan proposed to invade prance, a great power. working as models and what in a polen had done at 105 years earlier. who does that? germans. millions slogged it out four years in the mud and 52 months, 1700 men they fought to see the hud and blood through reckless and german leaders succumbed to the allure of battle and delusion their skill was sufficient to win at the outset at once. there is no need for strategic planning beyond beyond winning the opening as they called it, battle after nileation and so committed that after that failed catastrophically for them al

hitler one at kyiv. carthage lost to rome, england lost to france, napoleon lost to the grand alliance, and is -- and hitler lost it all in the end catastrophically as his short word delusions ran into longmore attrition and the allies capacity for endurance of defeat. there were exceptions. of course, there are always exceptions. woke the -- sedan and meds over the french. these bill for victories i think we also has learned more from the american civil war. we do see now and look back and see the american civil war and see that it was a precursor of what was to come along with the crimea in the 20th century brick that is not the conclusion they made at the topic unfortunate, the civil war ended in 65 and the austrians were defeated in seven weeks in 1876 and the french in 1870. those are the wars that then dominated military imagination heading into the 20 does the 20th century. in other words, the german victories of the midcentury point to the 19 century. i think it did so much damage to world milita

mark: seems to me, when someone calls someone hitler, we know what hitler was. a racist. it is not just i disagree with that guy. but you use characterization, that you intend to be provocative. after this assassination attempt on you, this is irresponsible to me. i am telling you congressman, i turn on tv, i see it all of the time, you see it took right? >> right, like you said, hitler literally killed millions of jews based on fact he wanted too annihilate them off of the face of the earth. we all should stand up against that, saying if we disagree, let's be honest about why we dis agree. manager rimargaret thatcher sai- make a better argument. these days, cop-out is saying something so i hav i have. >> it is same on college campuses, some you say, go educate yourself, let's hear all view points and have enough confidence in your argument will win the day, but you are so afraid of other argument, you want to call them names where you shut them down, i think that you have already lost. mark: did bernie sanders ever call you. >> he reached out to my office, i think we may

, what we know what hitler was -- or a racist, in other words it's not i disagree with this you pointut this guy is way to the right or something, but you're ouusing characterization that yu intend to be provocative. after this as assassination attt on you that this is irresponsible to me and i'm telling congressman i turn on tv i see it all of the time you see it too. >> youf know, like you said whn you're using something that radio active, i mean hitler is man who literally killed millions of jews based on the fact that he wanted to annihilate them all from the face of the earth that is hiss pure of evil as you can get, and nobody should be compared -- compared to him. but at the same time you know, you see that almost they seem to try to desensitize it as if you disagree it is okay to call somebody something that evil. these days, and we all ought ton standing up against that saying hold on a second look if we disagree let's, let's at least be honest about why we disagree and try to win the argument margaret that mucher said first win the debate then win the vote which means -- if

without much closer to writing about -- this hitler. we thought he'd been written about so much that it probably wouldn't be as informative. mau would be more interesting. pierre was pushing for virtuous is will do by spilling a lot of blood. same with -- so those two and they don't come out in the pantheon of most honest people. so, we thought we could cover that and show that they could still be effective. effective in some things about how he helped administer the city and certainly effective in the low level political maneuverings. so i think that they were trying to get a balance. we spent more hours picking these 13 leaders will most counterfeits fight. to be honest, the one i'm still bitter about is davy crockett. i wanted davy crockett so bad. i just love the walt disney show about them. [laughter] maybe next book. thank you so much. >> one final question. >> a quick question. we've been in afghanistan for too long. we don't have leadership there that can get us out? what is the problem? >> we don't have a lot of time! [laughter

academic for bit a second i would point out that who is a german jewish refugee of hitler and british philosopher, and this is something political scientists alk about, he talked about politics a ng spectacle and entertaining, the kind of fascism as this emotional spectacle. i was of this feeling that fox ith its emphasis on entertainment is moving in that direction. trump's willingness to let the media align, drive his tweets, his policies, his public worryings, i find very indeed and i do think that is a kind of bellwether for an press. on the >> what's the difference between that and reading the "new york imes" editorials every day and believing everything you read there and following that, not his president but another president, who would be very much attuned to them or the "washington post"? well, as i say, the difference is that the "washington post" and "new york times" have conservative voices. a part of that conversation. they have those debates. they have bret stevens. they have david brooks. they have people who are making conservative case. that, i think is the difference

hitler's favorite composer. and the place where the wagner family's complicity with the nazis keeps bubbling up. you have to what's great about the place and there are a number of things first i think you have to read my the fact that this man built up the it himself to to sort of reinvent music theater which which is very admirable. secondly you have to admire the fact. to try to create the sort of ritualized music theater they try to admired it's very very important but the things have to really be careful about is to be honest about what actually happened here during the i think you have to understand that many artists who sang here and who conducted here and who played here was sent to concentration camps or when into exile so you have to do both you have to you have to be very honest and upfront about it and i think you have to d. mystify the place. very costly fuses the german chauvinism of the meistersingers with the world of his own imagination and sex and involving those living room. with this opera buc

an art of hitler had the meistersingers performed at the nazi parties annual new underground lines with emphasis on the operas anti sematic and nationalistic tendencies. that challenge for koskie. the break was i realized this piece is not about german culture and german identity and german nationalism and german art it's about wagner as of german nationality and german and german identity when i made that discovery i thought my little astray in jewish shoulders does not have to be lumbered with the idea that i'm having to put five hundred years of german history on stage. because wagner and the meistersingers onto the witness stand. oh. their message the scapegoat of the peace wears a caricature mask of the jew as seen by anti semites a parody of wagners obsession and a wake up call against national chauvinism and racism. has the by what festival ever seen such a critical examination of wagner before. cos he wouldn't be costly if he didn't have another iron in the fire at the same time as his by word production he's presenting a leader in the guard easy. to get kind of shook up. he and

at play could lead to a future hitler-like character if we don't watch out. remembered that another thing that benjamin franklin said was he who trades his freedom for security deserves neither. >>> ruth bader ginsberg left new york's memorial sloan kettering cancer center on thursday and is now recuperating at home after surgery to remove two malignant growths in her lung. doctors say there is no evidence of any remaining disease. the oldest sitting member of the u.s. supreme court, ginsberg had never missed oral arguments. she's expected to be present when the court next meets january 7th. >>> let's get a quick check on your weather. >> we are tracking a very busy storm system with snow, wind and some heavy downpours. here's the snow just north of minneapolis as the snow changes over to rain. on the backside of this system, the air is brutal. it's going to be so cold we're going to talk about numbers below zero by the weekend. tornado watch for houston, southwest louisiana, including alexandria and lake charles. we've already had some rotation in the clouds

the other side of the world and it looked like the future was in the hands of either stalling or hitler due to strong men in europe at the dawn reading that book as a russian it was a very unusual experience for me because we as a nation are far more in a vast in seeing ourselves as a country that resisted. and i think for the russians it's much more difficult to separate the personal you know the law for our relatives from the historical reality of war since you think still attempted to do some of that do you have any advice for your russian fans to do i think you know for me it was quite it was easy to get some song i had to sit down and really talk to mark all the. difficult questions my father was were open of all did he said you know if you don't want to talk about it we don't need to talk about it ask me any question you like and just spending time with him and having him telling his own story not making excuses for . what they did made me in the you know in the story can be told in the least two ways you know i was born in leningrad and i grew up hearing the stories of the herois

getting to russian oil and by the caspian sea they stopped hitler they won the war and today the united states is geared up for world war three or is prepared for it and that means controlling oil and if the u.s. were to allow the alliance with saudi arabia to to deteriorate in many ways it would be giving up its throne as the the great superpower and americans like to be a superpower every four years we go through elections and every single candidate has to go out and campaign about how america is the greatest nation the world in to spend a point but get and let joshua joshua let me thing with you here but is saudi arabia a good alliance partner for the united states be seen with kushal with the rise of sellafield jihadism with with militias in syria and iraq being funded by saudis and this has turned into a real frankenstein in a way in a sense you know. the saudis of the seventy's so forth was a fairly benign power and political power within the kingdom was distributed amongst the brothers and there was a colleague. fairly benign rule today and b s has gathered power into his his han

it's the terrorists in security issues and they compared nasa to hitler and i'm afraid there's always a problem with british america publications givin gettp on a pedestal to emphasize the importance of the crisis or whatever it may be and this is putting sure used by the media and politicians in a knee-jerk way to emphasize the important seriousness of an issue and confusion of thinking about it from a strategic point of view and a moral point of view. i think there is a great danger that this discussion has been coming up when touring in europe. we have the elections in sweden and people make comparisons between the 1930s and today. that is a big mistake bu but tht doesn't mean the politicians and leaders in europe are not going to face the united states. they will face huge problems in the future when it's a question of climate change and the effect it's going to have on the refugees coming up from africa and central america when the starving refugees start to arise not just migrants. and i think this is something where they will have to start making decisions on who you lived in a
