you have a section about an attempt to convince the germans the landing would not be in normandy and the other beaches. >> correct. there was a lengthy complex plan called bodyguard of lies was the definitive book on the subject and there was a multitiered plan to deceive the germans that the landings would take place in the pot at calais which if you take a look at the map is the logical crossing point barely 25 miles from calais across the channel. and we had turned some german intelligence agents and caught them and made them an offer they couldn't refuse. either you feed false information to your masters in germany or you have a date with 12 gentlemen with 303 rifles. that combined with signals intelligence sending false information that we knew the germans would intercept and decode and george patton was a big part of the deception because he was given command of the nonexistent army, an organization of probably eight or 10 divisions and that's why he was so visible throughout britain in the days leading up so that the germans would keep focused on him and his appearances coinci

and even though he was severely wounded during the normandy campaign and he received the last rites in anticipation of death, he told a subordinate later on the war is not over, laddie. so he got back into combat before the war ended. >> he was also lucky that pencillen had been developed because he probably wouldn't have survived those wounds. so it was fortunate that technology caught up with him. you talk about other figures patton and rommel and so forth, but there are four politicians that we should briefly mention. charles de gaulle who has always been controversial both in france and among the allies, but you give him pretty good ratings. >> well, he was a progressive military theorist before world war ii. he had spent most of world war i as a prisoner of the germans but between the wars he became france's leading advocate of tank warfare. and consequently, his seniority was such that when france fell in june of 1940, de gaulle evacuated to britain with tens of thousands of other free french, and he became a significant factor in allied planning. and i think the most wonderful s

going to assemble a fleet in the baltics and engage in amphibious landings and storm the shore like normandy to take it back. we will have to respond in some larger fashion perhaps but then there will be voices -- this will plunge us into nuclear war. we have to create a situation in which someone planning and action like that has no choice but to anticipate what kind of resistance he will encounter. i recommend pre-positioning of some forces. an american company in estonia is not going to invade russia, and putin will know that, but he will know that if he invades estonia, he will encounter american forces on the ground, and better still, some germans some french, some brits. i think if we do that kind of stuff, we are consolidating stability. i don't think putin plans to invade ukraine as a whole. that would be too dangerous. you cannot simply predict what would happen. this continuous pinprick in -- pinpricking can involve escalation. there are russians, at least in the hundreds and in terms of some nato accounts, sums thousand, fighting in ukraine against an established country. this is

then we have another format which is the normandy format. two foreign ministers from the european union, two foreign ministers, one from ukraine, one from russia and the heads of state and government at the respective level. that is another format that implies also european union in terms of framework. we have discussed that at length yesterday. and there's going to be a new meeting at foreign minister's level tomorrow night in berlin. this is also another way in which the european union can push for a solution, support the efforts of president poroshenko, the efforts to find concrete steps to employment the minsk agreement. the other thing we could work on more, and i know there is a reflection here in washington in these days, is our dialogue with russia on a set of regional or global issues on which cooperation or at least dialogue is needed on the other set of crisis we have, being it middle east, being it the iranian talks, being it all those things that go through the u.n. security council where russia sits, being it big global issues

my favorite is president reagan's speech on the 40th anniversary of normandy. peggy noonan wrote it. it's my favorite speech of all time. it talks about the heroic journey of these workingmen who made it to the tops of the clips. i highly recommend it. i have used it to teach the importance of noble rhetoric. guest: that's one of -- a hard one to disagree with. the challenger speech at the president made, he had to delay the state of the union because it happened the day he was supposed to deliver the state of the union. my favorite speech is the eulogy that bob costas gave when mickey mantle died. i don't like the yankees very much. there was something about the way he captured what it meant to be a yankee fan and what it meant to be a mickey mantle fan as a boy in new york. i am a baseball ever. that speech to me was remarkable. the only speech i have ever memorized word for word was the gettysburg address. it is fewer than 300 words. it is a remarkable statement about what this country is about. the speechwriters who admire lincoln admire him for how spare h

for example in 1944, we do not take the pow camps and let them get another shot at us in normandy. we kept usthem until the war was over. if the enemy wants to fight or be a truck driver, they do not have a significant role. if you sign up with this enemy they should know we are coming after you. if the commander-in-chief sends us out there. if taken prisoner, you will be prisoner until the war is over. this is not war fighting 301 or advanced were fighting, this is 101. the biggest concern i have having been in the infantry for many years, if our troops find that they are taking someone prisoner a second time and they have scraped one of their buddies off the pavement and zipped him into a bag, the potential for maintaining the ethical imperative we expect of our armed forces is going to be undercut if in fact the integrity of our war effort does not take those people off the battlefield permanently if taken prisoner. they will take things into their own hands under the pressures of warfare. i think what we have to do was have a repeatable detainee policy salome take them, we hold

going to assemble a fleet in the baltic and engage in amphibious landings and storm ashore like in normandy to take it back. we'll have to respond in some larger fashion perhaps. but then there will be voices, well this will plunge us into nuclear war. deterrence has to have meaning has to have teeth in it, has to have a situation in which someone planning an action like that has no choice but to anticipate what kind of resistance will i encounter. this is why i recommend what i do recommend prepositions some forces limited so it's not provocative. an american country in estonia is not going to invade russia. putin will know that. he will know if he invades estonia, he will encounter american forces on the ground. better still some germans and french. so brits, of course. i think if we do that kind of stuff, we are consolidating stability, including nuclear one. same goes for ongoing conflict in russia and ukraine. i don't think putin plans to invade ukraine as a whole because that would be too dangerous. you cannot simply predict it will happen. this continuous pin pricking can involve esc

there are pockets of african-american leadership through the inner suburbs of north county, normandy, wellstone. but in a sense it's a microcosm of the situation we saw with first black mayor in 1970s. in '80s that is you achieve power at a moment when fiscal incapacity makes it impact to do anything. i've i'm reminded of the comment of the mayor of rochester, william johnson, i think, upon his election who was congratulated. he said congratulations for what? i'm mayor of nothing. >> i think a couple of other things in play here as well. one is at large system. the other is and you're correct, in 2012, 71% of black voters in ferguson, eligible black voters voted and 72% of eligible white voters voted. so there was a low turnout. a low turnout election across the board in municipal elections. only about 6% voted but 12% of the white population voted. when i talked to elected officials there about what made that disparity, they said that the larger numbers of poor people meant that you have -- when you have a national election, you have lots of resources to get out the vote, lots of res

, we didn't take ramos troops in pow camps in texas and let them go back and get another shot at normandy. we kept them until the war is over. we didn't start this war. if an enemy wants to fight or be a truck driver we didn't say his radio operate irersors could be released. -- if the president, the commander in chief sent us out there. if taken prisoner, you'll be prisoner until the war is over. this is not war fighting 301 or advanced -- this is 101, ma'am. biggest concern i have being in the infantry in many years, if our troops find that they are taking someone prisoner a second time, and they have just scraped one of their buddies off the pavement and zipped him into a bag, we will be undercut if the integrity of our war effort does not take the people off the battlefield permanently if taken prisoner. in other words, they will take things into their own hands under the pressures of warfare. so i think that what we have to do is have a repeatable detainee policy so when we take them we hold them and there is no confusion about their future. not among the enemies not among our own, i

my favorite is president reagan's speech on the 40th anniversary of normandy.eggy noonan wrote it. it's my favorite speech of all time. it talks about the heroic journey of these workingmen who made it to the tops of the clips. i highly recommend it. i have used it to teach the importance of noble rhetoric. guest: that's one of -- a hard one to disagree with. the challenger speech at the president made, he had to delay the state of the union because it happened the day he was supposed to deliver the state of the union. my favorite speech is the eulogy that bob costas gave when mickey mantle died. i don't like the yankees very much. there was something about the way he captured what it meant to be a yankee fan and what it meant to be a mickey mantle fan as a boy in new york. i am a baseball ever. that speech to me was remarkable. the only speech i have ever memorized word for word was the gettysburg address. it is fewer than 300 words. it is a remarkable statement about what this country is about. the speechwriters who admire lincoln admire him for how spare he

this is not the invasion of normandy. >> is this days months worth of training?ough basic training. you start off knowing absolutely nothing about anything. and in six to eight weeks -- >> how do you get ak-47s in france? they have the strictest gun laws. but criminals can always get guns. >> they certainly can. >> is this an intelligence failure? the reason i ask is if they're on all these watch lists and i assume we have lots of people on watch lists, how do we monitor them? and is there a way to monitor them be rt? >> that's a great question. there's a big difference between information and intelligence. we have all the information we need we just need to sort it out and put it into finished intelligence. in this case in france they not only had all the information, they also had the finished intelligence. and we had been watching them. >> when we say we're watching them, we don't have a cop car tailing these two gentlemen every day wherever they go. >> no, but in france they can follow the telephone conversations everywhere they go. >> how many people are on
