>> seth: please, welcome back to the show our good friend patton oswalt. how are you, patton?l stand ups i think you've been on the shelf. are you excited to get back out? >> i am very, very excited i'm a little bit nervous it feels like maybe we're -- i hope we're not heading back towards a shutdown i'm making my touring plans in good faith, but it almost feels like we were so close to getting into the club. like, the doorman, our group of friends was kind of schmoozing him. he's like "i like these guys you know what, wait 10 minutes i'll wait for 20 people to leave. i'll get you guys in." and then, just before we're there one of the members of our group goes "just let us in, [ bleep ] head." and he's like "you know what, all of you, no." like that's how this second wave of covid feels like. the delta variant is our friend saying let us in [ bleep ] head. >> seth: yes, very -- i think that is a very good analogy. and you know, i think when - you are obviously in california. california has had a very tough time of it, getting locked back down to some degree. certainly things a

helen patton granddaughter of -- >> general patton. helen, my wife and my daughter have been close ever since. helen has an older sister and 3 brothers and one of the brothers, a tv producer in new york and we had been in helen in one of the reunions. helen was in france, germany now but her mother and siblings lived in the northeast new york, massachusetts. so she was over fairly frequently. anyhow, another brother bob, i think he was kind of -- he authored the book in the history of the patents and it's a great book, learned all kinds of things about the patton family that i don't think anybody knows. i will tell you one of them, general patton after world war i was sent to hawaii to work in the territorial government and brought his wife with him and nothing to do and he becomes an alcoholic and the mother decides that she's going to invite her niece to come over and stay with them, have some more company, the young ladies, maybe she's 19, 20 year's old, well george and his duties would go and visit the islands and he started taking

the smell of decaying flesh was overwhelming, and already dwight eisenhower and general george patton could tell they were about to enter some kind of a really dire situation. it was so bad, as a matter of fact, general patton, you know, deferred going in to certain parts of the camp because he was -- he felt he was getting sick. now, ike learning extreme self-discipline finally as a kid really felt it was important to look in -- as he said, every nook and cranny of the camp because he wanted to bear witness to what had occurred there. however, if you look at these pictures which are really rather remarkable, you can see a very defiant stance in eisenhower's physical composure there and, you know, you can see a kind of set jaw. as a matter of fact, after this incident, he went back to patton's headquarters and told his valet that he had never been so angry in his life. that the english language didn't even have words that could describe what he saw. he was astonished at the hideous ways the germans had for treating and disposing of these bodies and all of it was in a violation of ever

patton didn't like how scruffy and out of uniform willie and joe always were. other officers didn't like how mauldin was criticizing them, you know, john lee quarter master and chief in france didn't like him. general in charge of the naples base section didn't like him. but there were other generals, more powerful who did support -- who really supported combat soldiers, the infantry and therefore supported mauldin and saw that what mauldin was doing was really important. that he was building more rail and omar bradley was one of those, general mark clark was one of those and lucian truskett and theodore roosevelt jr. big supporter of mauldin and eisenhower in the end a big supporter of mauldin. that allowed mauldin to go and succeed and do his subversive work during world war ii. >> todd, you mentioned general lee. three stars in the front and three stars in the back, the famous six-star general as he called himself. the definition of -- the definition of the brass. mark clark tolerated and enjoyed the work of bill mauldin. that's a surprise to me given clark'

he went back to patton's headquarters and told his valet that he had never been so angry in his life that that the english language didn't even have words that could describe what he saw he was astonished at at the the hideous ways the germans had for treating and disposing of these bodies and all of it was in a violation of every rule of war that had ever been written. and so eisenhower's determine you can see he's got his hands on his hips there. i mean, i'll tell you in in family body language hands on the hips mean something really serious as does that very firm jaw that you can see in any case i think it was of course, it was critically important that he went through quote unquote every nook and cranny because he wrote to winston churchill and he said everything you read in the paper about this does not adequately describe. what has really happened here? and indeed he demonstrated the impact of that the the pain of what he had seen in his actions over the subsequent weeks when he was surely very very busy winning. the war the war was not over but after witnessing order if he dem

for how your underbinding the american war effort, you know patton didn't like how scruffy and out of william joe always were other officers didn't like how malden was criticizing them. you know john lee quartermaster-in-chief of in france didn't like them general in charge of the naples base section didn't like them. and so but there were other generals more powerful who did support but who really supported combat soldiers the infantry and therefore supported malden and saw that what malden doing was really important that he was building morale and omar bradley was one of those general mark clark was one of those and you know, lucian trust good big supporter of malden and and sierra roosevelt jr. big supporter of malden and dwight eisenhower in the end a big supporter of malt and that made the difference that allowed malden to go and succeed and do his subversive work during world war ii. you know todd i'll just throw and you mentioned you mentioned general lee three stars in the front and three stars in the back the sift the famous six star general as he called himself the definitio

comment on the varieties of reception his cartoons were received by the senior commanders such as patton and bradley in the european theater of operations. >> [inaudible] let me say hello to jim. good front. >> hey, jim. i thought i might get away with a top on mauldin without mentioning patton but there's no way to do that. because so many of high-ranking army brass, of course, hated mauldin, absolutely hated. so his cartoon says it's important. it mauldin said, patton sort of mauldin, the crowds ought to the crowds are to pin a middle on you because of your work against american moral. off it officers don't like didn't like how mauldin was criticizing them. john [inaudible] quartermaster-in-chief in france didn't like him. general in charge of the peoples base section didn't like him. and so, but there were other generals, more powerful, who did support, who really supported combat soldiers, the inventory, and therefore supported margin and saw what moderna was doing was really important, that he was building more are. and omar bradley was one of those. general mark clark was one of th

so we're now at the home of dave patton. dave patton had a wagon hauling dirt around mobile. he became one of the richest realtors in the city. and this was in the 1880s, all right? 1890s. he pulled all of the dirt out of the bank head tunnel. that's the tunnel that takes us to the eastern shore. he laid the foundation for most of the streets in mobile. he laid the foundation for the alabama state docks and one of the largest high schools that we have here which is murphy high school. now initially, he wanted to build this house on government street. well, government street is our main street, if you've been down government. there's a lot of antebellum homes there. but because he was black, they would not let him build that house over on government street. and we're talking -- this was in the early 1900s. and to be honest with you, most blacks were living in shotguns during that time. this was a huge house when you look at it. and it was built by the premier architect in the city which was george rogers during that time. i know that he had to have cash because my dad told me

george patton is involved as well. one of the things the newspaper picks up on that's very symbolic of the whole thing, patton runs across the guy who saved his life in 1918 and said i don't know who he is. it's a very dark chapter. there's no question that some of the african-american veterans were there as well. the promise of citizenship, the promise of you serve the country, you do your duty as a citizen, the country has made some promises to return. yeah, there's no question they were part of the bonus army. actually, that's a good picture there actually from world war i period of doing that duty as part of the american expeditionary force. >> and that fulfillment of the promise you would see and we see that legacy connecting it all back. all right. last question? what did the research for the book reveal about the motivation of african-americans who volunteered to serve in the union army? >> if you read biographies of written histories from white soldiers, they had mixed reasons for joining. some were abolitionis

patton's armored force across the heart of france.e grand triumphant march through paris which was freed by french troops and soldiers of the u.s. fifth corps. beyond paris lay the liberation of belgium and the yard by yard struggle across the german border. blocking the steady pursuit of victory lay the nazi counteroffensive in the sector known as the battle of the bulge. through a grim and bleak period of several weeks the enemy supported by the most devastating of weather conditions isolated and assaulted allied forces. general eisenhower called upon all troops to rise to new heights of courage and effort. the brave men of the beleaguered forces held and steadily began pressing the enemy back and from that moment on ward the supreme commander counted on weakened nazi resistance. the bridge across the ryan, one of the sturdiest symbols of the war. with its crossing in march 1945 the heart of the ken me's defenses was cracked. there remained a substantial task of mopping up what was left of the enemy west of the rhine. and accepting

[scattered applause] let me ask you, do you think that general patton was woke? think so. >> let me ask you, do you think that general patton was woke? i don't think so. you know what woke means, it means you're a loser. everything woke -- everything woke -- it's true. everything woke turns to [bleep], okay? >> greg: [laughs] i'm sorry we had to [bleep] and what of biden? do think they would have covered it if i fell in the air force one? >> do think they would have covered it if i fell in the air force one? he fell three times. down goes frazier, remember that? they kept going down and up and down and up and i said what the hell is going on -- i was watching that. what's going on with our president? i did the ramp, the long slippery ramp and i said general -- it was pouring out, pouring. i said general, this is a bad deal here, i've got leather shoes on the bottom and i'm going to fall. i'm not going to let them -- so i walked down tiny little steps. what's wrong with the president, the biggest story. normally they have like some little groups, nothing, it was l

>> sorry, but "patton" >> he said we weren't going to name names >> it sucks!oesn't. >> oh, my god. [ laughter ] >> seth: so you guys - [ talking over each other >> but you start out in a movie with toothpaste on -- on somebody's close-up. and i'm like -- "i'm out." >> it was not toothpaste >> seth: hey, so you guys -- you've been writing partners for a long time. i don't know, is this the first -- is the bob ross doc the first time you guys have produced a documentary together? >> yeah. >> yeah. it's new >> seth: and so, what brought it about? >> well, you know, i'm super interested in bob ross and have loved him for a long time. and i actually wanted to write a biopic about him half because i'm interested, and half because she's always wanted me to have a perm. so - >> i really do >> so i was in -- so i did your basic, you know, cursory how -- what do you find -- you know, we no longer go to the microfiche you know, you go just and look on google and like, "all right, bob ross news or whatever. and there was nothing there. so it was really interesting to find

live witness reports come from the point of impact was at an area called patton gate.he second bomb was detonated at a gate nearby. at least 60 afghan citizens are reported dead. at the moment, we understand at least 12 americans have lost their lives, including 11 marines and one u.s. navy medic. the attack was called complex. u.s. intelligence says there could be more attacks to come. >> minutes after the explosion that rocked kabul airport, france 24 reporters saw hundreds of panicked afghans rush into nearby streets and alleys, their ears still ringing from the blast. at the nearby hospital, the wounded started to pour in. >> [speaking foreign language] >> the explosion took place at the aggregate of kabul airport where hundreds of people hoping to flee the country have been massing throughout the day. another blast occurred almost simultaneously at the nearby baron hotel. both were thought to have been carried out by suicide bombers. at least a dozen people, both afan and foreigners, were killed. >> [speaking foreign language] >> a spokesman for the taliban condem

and george patton is -- is involved in that as well and actually one of the thins the newspaper picks up on that's very symbolic of the whole thing. patton runs across the guy that saved his life on the battlefield in 1918 and says i take away from this man, i don't know who he is. so it's a very, very dark chapter but there's no question that some of the african-american veterans were there as well. again, it goes back to what nate was talking about. the promise of citizenship. the promise of what you serve the country, you do your duty, the country has made some promises to return. but yeah. there's no question they were part of -- part of the bonus army. and actually, that's a good picture there of -- of actually from world war i period but that same sort of thing. doing that duty as part of the american expeditionary force. >> yep. and that fulfillment of the promise you -- you -- you would see. and you see that legacy, again, connecting it all back. >> uh-huh. >> all right. last question. what did the research for the book research for the book reveal about the motivation of the

there is no justification for this attack which follows a patton of attacks and of a belligerent behavior. we believe this attack was deliberate, targeted, and actually a violation of international law by iran. u. k. assessments have concluded that is highly likely that iran attack the n v most the streets in international waters of amman on 29 july using one or more unmanned aerial vehicles. rebecca from the anti war answer coalition believes that israel determined to provoke to ron anyway, it can israeli government is hoping to to the rail, the j. c. p. o, a, the reinstatement of the j. c. your way and in any form whatsoever. and it is a possibility, it will depends a lot on what the reactions are now from the various parties. we do know for sure that on a daily basis we sent a weekly basis is really we're playing, violate the aerospace web and violate the aerospace and syria carry out not just the violations of aerospace, but bombing inside of syria and many other assaults on around and then very, very outraged and you know, very righteous when something happens that harms their intere

and while a tele patton's been claiming it took the country relatively easily. check these pages in from the southern province of helmand, where locals are facing the aftermath of what's going on there. so recently, the militants vicious offensive as you can see for yourself, a bullet out of the bullets in the walls, no doors or windows left in schools and hospitals. so they're barely able to function and it looks like there's no sign that that is going to change or improve any time soon. meantime, the us is warning that i've got to start no faces, an absolute catastrophe of hunger, homelessness, and economic collapse. unless financial aid is urgently sent, we spoke with you and 60 general, special deputy representative for the country. it is addition. some remains to be tense, needs are enormous, nearly half of the population are either half of the children or 5 orientation facing on christian, basically are very little, nothing to eat. and almost 600000 people didn't please, by the drought continues to ravage the country. one of the major issues which we proba

now 1st of all, the americans talking about working with patton is to respond to this attack with the new administration in israel and a relatively new government in the us. what's your take on whether these tensions will dissipate or escalation? i'm afraid we're in for a period of goods or a tension, especially in bobbing iran and israel. there is no real diplomatic channel or framework to discuss or handle these tensions as, as there was when we had the j. c, p o, a before president trump pulled the united states out of it. that has really taken diplomacy out of the picture. and so there are been, there's been it, there's been escalation now for a couple of years. we've had israeli attacked on iranian target, their nuclear scientists, their new killer installations, various other targets in iran. that israel either claim credit for coyly said that they don't know who did it. so there's been escalation now for a period of time. and i think it was inevitable that we would see iranian around in retaliation and, and, and increasing escalation from their part. even though they denied tha

in the end, he had accumulated over 200 pattons from multi staged rockets to fuel pumps to multi-engineitude of 2000 feet. this is the year that the pa apollo astronauts were born. goddard had a vision of the age of space, but the world was too slow to make it after before -- make it happen before his death. thank you for your inventiveness and perseverance. for most people, it was easy. you just needed a movie ticket and a ten cent back of popcorn. >> what was that? >> i don't know. >> the ship is coming up fast behind us. >> here they come. you better put it in reverse, doc. >> what is this? >> once science fiction in the childhood of the space age could have guessed the shape of reality. the saturn 5 rocket. three stages, 28 stories tall, 11 engines as powerful as all of the water falls in the world combined. the saturn first stage lived two minutes and 41 seconds. >> ignition. >> in houston, we're go all engines. >> you're loud and clear. >> two minutes, 41 seconds, time to throw apollo up into the sky and then an empty shell to fall back into the sea. >> roger, we confirm. they are

back of the bus while he was enduring a court-martial his unit was called up to fight for general patton robinson was acquitted but never got to fight with his legendary unit. so these are not isolated isolated incidents. lynn i'd like to return to dr. leon bass because he spent many years not talking about what he had seen in europe, especially in concentration camps that had recently been liberated. thanks and recognition only came later in his life when he began to publicly discuss the atrocities he had seen could you tell us a bit about dr. bass's personal trajectory, please? yes, dr. you know as sergeants sergeant ambass was only 20 years old when he first encountered and you know those holocaust victims that he saw at that camp in april 1945 and he kept that in it certainly had a profound effect, but like many survivors it took him 20 or 25 years to find his voice and it happened when he as a teacher. he's an educator. he's become, you know doctor of education. he's principal of the school and he's in his class and a holocaust survivor is speaking. his students are you know listeni

it takes and all the projections and future dates are on expected rainfall. patton's glacial loss and temperature rises and so forth. thousands of scientists and various people have been involved in assessing all the information that's coming. it made this kind of this synthesis of that information which has finally been agreed on as now, being released by the i p c. c. this is a 6 assessment they've done. the 1st assessment was done back in 1990 and then they said that there was evidence for that. there was, it was evidence that my may climate change was happening, but there was no direct evidence that they could publish today. it's very different . the evidence is unequivocal. it is a bleak picture. this year alone has seen storms, floods, and wildfires. now, according to sciences, it is unequivocal. the humans are largely to blame for woman, the oceans, land, an atmosphere throb, any of coal, oil, and gas. you've been telling us over 3 decades of the dangers of allowing the kind of warm the world listen. i didn't hear the wellness and but it didn't us ex strongly enough. and as a r

it's received. 23 complaints about sky news as patton demick coverage. but get this. the australian communications and media authority has no authority over social media platforms. digital platforms such as youtube are not currently subject to the same co regulatory arrangements, australia's traditional broadcast media. in this case, youtube has made a decision to the spence guy news, according to its policies for its platform. it's led many to wonder why can some corporations do whatever they want, while the government has its hands tied, you only way we get pushed back against big tech would be if legacy media interest so meet or the organization decided to take them on. and because the politician don't seem to have any will to do so, because obviously spends more money than any other organization lobbying in washington. it's showing more and more of a big tech is actually in control. and it might be big tech during the gotten the bidding of the government now. but how soon is it going to be when the government is doing the bidding, a big tech, and when big tact wan

seeing with these vaccines and ip and all about when the, you know, they're protecting their, their patton's note, the american people paid for those patterns. they paid for the research they paid for all of the research. they've been doing it for one patent after another for well over a decade. and you have the mainstream media parity. and you know, we know if you know, somebody might be able to use the formulas and cure cancer. god forbid something like that. and i mean, do they, did they have any understanding of what they're saying? because it really shows the lack of any kind of a moral compass of what the average condition of the average american is and what the world is experiencing because of this pandemic go ahead. caleb will, you know, it's interesting because, you know, this notion that conservatism and capitalism walk hand in hand. they doubt the american and it's pretty, pretty western. and you know, if you look at it, you know, conservative anti capitalism predates marxism by hundreds of years. you know, the catholic church was looking during the rise of capitalism and saying t

there's diplomacy going on and if you look at the the first picture on the left you have montgomery and patton standing there looking at a map to get it is my opinion and if you can get those two guys to fight on the same side and agree long enough. to conduct operations then you're pretty good at diplomacy. because those it was not easy for those two to work together. each nation has its individual political ideas. and how things should be wrong. this was a contest wills between the us and the great britain even as their alliance as they're trying to attack next. what's the best strategy? we go on a narrow front do we go on a broad front do we go for the underbelly, we go for needing? this is a constant. discussion the a lot of these are diplomatic discussions that eisenhower cannot escape though he has there they become political political and he has to jog that line between the political and in the military. but the thing is is both sides are every part of the allies are wanting the same thing to defeat of germany and into the nazi ring. this keeps them focused on winning the peace and how

like patton said to rommel after he defeated him in north africa after a massive tank battle, i readdn't have to. in the end we are red-blooded americans. we are the heart and soul in this country. we love this country, and nobody is going to take it from us. see you next time on "life, liberty & levin."
