he did it anyways and khrushchev bullied him and pushed him around. >> khrushchev has made the firstame. and the president knows it. as he leaves, he says, it's going to be a cold winter. >> kennedy thought there might be a basis for dealing with the soviets. instead he gets the berlin crisis. >> in july, 1,000 east germans escaped into west berlin every day. now in august, they're coming out at the rate of 2,500 a day. as a result of khrushchev's threats and demands. east germany is being bled of its best-trained people. >> i went to berlin to cover the bureau and the nbc news desk in new york called in the middle of the night and said what's this about closing off the border at the brandenburg gate? >> at 2:00 a.m., the communist regime issued a new case. no east german going to west berlin without special dispensation. >> the sound of jackhammers erupts in the night. suddenly east german police appear, tear up the sidewalk and street. >> a small crowd gathered and the east germans were unrolling barbed wire and starting fences. they were sealing off the border. i thought, my, god,

they continued to engage in communications with khrushchev and the kremlin in moscow and thankfully, these discussions resulted the next day in agreement that ended the crisis. i think both men, kennedy and khrushchev, realized that this could mean all-out nuclear conflagration, all-out nuclear war. this memorial was initially developed in may of 1963. less than one year after major rudolph anderson's death and the 1952, he a tober of was born in this area and played in cleveland park quite a bit. as a boy growing up in was involved in boy scouts. he apparently loved to fly from a very early age. he attended nearby augusta circle elementary school and greenville high school. wassenior yearbook quote good humor is the clean blue sky of this also gives you an insight as to his character. major andersoner death, the united states was extremely keen on returning anderson's body to the united states from cuba. inre was a funeral here early november, about 1800 local people attended his funeral. he is buried in woodlawn cemetery here in greenville, south carolina. major anderson was 35 yea

khrushchev. now, the next ten years may well decide whether the united states is to be a first class power or become a second class nation. more than a year ago, i sat across the table from mr. khrushchev for better than eight hours. i saw him as he is, tough and able, a communist, a bolshevik, determined to surpass the united states, and he is determined that communism will rule the world, and i am determined that it will not. now, the next president must arouse this nation to heroic deeds. he must courageously search for a lasting peace with justice and freedom, and he must understand the complexities of disarmament negotiations, the working of diplomacy, the united nations. he must develop a force for peace, using our food and fiber surplus to feed the hungry, our medical knowledge to heal the sick, and our education to teach the illiterate. i have tried to prepare myself for this. now, the west virginia primary is more than a popularity contest. there are differences between the candidates, b

khrushchev. thatld say further strategy today is in the realm of science and technology. out of science and inadequate an adequategram -- research programs. ,n the court of world opinion world opinion itself, we have the area that will have a very great deal to do with what we may do. i would draw the parallel of the use of energy and power through the many, many centuries of human existence, when people were restrained by their fellow men, in what they could do, you things, to do many including city states restrained whether armed forces could do. this nation has shrunk. this world has shrunk to the we simplyy where can't do all of the things we would like to do. that one of our greatest captains of all time was general macarthur, and even he had to come to realize and learn the hard way that the use of a nuclear bomb, because we had them in our arsenal could not be permitted under his mandate from the united nations, it was simply an entire liberal thing. -- an intolerable thing. areas of on three strategy that i believe are of overriding importance. my concern, therefo

. >> i saw trump by the way, and said i khrushcheved you. he said yeah, you killed me. sonni: bernie sanders is getting it done in the granite state as well. >> if there's one issue out there... [indiscernible] sonni: our political power panel in-house to talk more about new hampshire. bernie sanders is going in with he did well last night. are we expecting this trend to continue? >> it looks pretty clear bernie sanders will win new hampshire today. the question is by how much? early polls showed him as much as 20 or 30 points ahead. i don't think it will end up being that much of a margin. i think hillary clinton's campaign will be happy if she gets single digits. sonni: on the republican side of things we heard a lot of good press from marco rubio who emerged as this moderate star and getting the headlines element. what does he have to do to position himself to continue to do well especially against someone like trump who continues to pull way ahead. >> we know trump is expected to win here. he's so far ahead in the polls. what we don't like know the recent debate par

if america were to embrace the socialism that bernie sanders is selling, it's a revolution that khrushchev predicted. he said russia would take over, ideology would take over america without firing a shot. that's what an election of bernie sanders would be? >> i would go more coup than revolution, right? we think that bernie sanders has any shot of winning this nomination? charles: i got to tell you, i can't believe anyone -- he got way more votes last night than any candidate who ran any, candidate who ran. >> he got more than cruz and trump combined. charles: why are we dismissing this guy, joe? >> primarily among non-whites he trails hillary clinton by 40 points, when you go nevada and south carolina, that's where the firewall is, that's the true test, charles. i'm not saying she's going to run by 20 and 30 points, it will shrink, but the question is what is his path to victory? i don't see it. charles: i believe he can chip away at the firewall, i think the firewall is swiss cheese, a lot of holes in it. believe me, remind black voters some of the things the clintons did when obama ran

khrushchev who sought to coexist within his own to tell a terry and system based on planning and not market demand, who failed because he could not get the green grown and to that have the fertilizer and his economy could not produce. characteristically this happens in a failing strategy and he saw attacked the gamut to recoup. with the cuba and a great adventure that thanks to our secretary of defense he was defeated in. i would say that his demise is one of the decisive setbacks in all of history and i think that now in my personal opinion that our efforts to work closely with the soviet people should be rewarded. and in the present state of the union message making changes to encourage trade is a good thing. we've done a great deal exporting professors entertainers and scientists. i think we can go a long way together. it was a turning point. now, i would say further, that strategy today is in the realm of science and technology. out of science we are producing an abundance of new knowledge that can energize our economy and keep it moving. and very briefly, in the court of world o

and nikita khrushchev made that happen. so, we have come a long way and the person who has watched that journey is simeon booker. simeon booker, ladies and gentlemen, if you do not know, jet magazine would not be jet magazine without simeon booker and his piece. [applause] joe: and his wife, carol, is right beside him and let's give her a round of applause. [applause] joe: now, first of all thank you for being here. let's get to this, you were on the committee that actually decided to invite dr. mlk to be the speaker, to the best of your recollection, what went on in that meeting? what was it like? and carol, you can fill in, because i know you have an extensive paragraph in his autobiography about that meeting, but what you remember, simeon? simeon: [indiscernible] carol: what do you remember about the decision to invite dr. king? he did remember when he wrote this book. he has asked me to -- joe: let's see if this might jar his memory. carol: and 97, memory fades with every day. this is from "shocking the conscience." sim

before him, khrushchev in january had the following to say. now a word about national liberation war. the armed struggle by the vietnamese people or the war of the algerian people serve as the latest example of such wars. these are revolutionary wars. such wars are not only admissible, but inevitable. can such wars flare up in the future? they can. the communists fully support such just wars and march in the front lines of people waging liberation struggles. the commander in chief of the north vietnamese forces has made the following comment, south vietnam is a model of the national liberation movement of our time. if the special warfare that the united states imperialists are testing in south vietnam is overcome, then it can be defeated anywhere in the world. the minister of defense of communist china in a long statement of policy on september 1965 described in detail how mao zedong will utilize the war of liberation to expand communism in latin america, africa, and asia. these testimonials show that apart from the goal of imposing communism

[applause] >> years ago nikita khrushchev made a statement that he would defeat us from within and the schools, institutions, government everything has come to place burkett -- [inaudible] we have a social 20 flies office of the land which i hope you have instead of him. and so the pendulum issued on their side. will would you do to cause the pendulum to come back without taking away i religious choices and our freedom of speech? >> so, that's a great question because in your bones you know we are losing something vital in this nation. you know we are at a perilous time and it's exactly to the point of the character of our nation, the foundation of our nation, the possibilities represented by this nation. first thing on a i'm doing is running for president. the first thing you can do is vote for me on tuesday not to make sure everybody you know votes for me. we have got the right leader in the white house, okay? secondly on this blueprint, restore the character of our nation. stand her life and religious liberty. religious liberty is under assault in this nation. i really was struck by
