ruth: oh man.er than, look, i think that one of the most important lessons i learned early in my career, as a woman in banking, there were not many of us. it wasn't the easiest environment. there were a lot of men i have now gently decided to call blockheads, but they were worse than blockheads, and they made it difficult. and you learn to be resilient. the one thing is, i was going to outlast them, and that would be the joy that came from it. and fortunately, there are obviously a lot of extraordinary men at morgan stanley. there were not enough senior women in the day, and there are more now. and so i learned to chart my career. i went to people who would take a risk on me. and i said, what's my highest and best use? and they opened doors that i did not know existed. to me, that is the most important. those hard days, bad lessons, i just chalk them up to being lessons, so i don't record them. david: what do you do when you are not working on technology, being a wife, being a mother, you're a tenn

who ruth was electrified. she never seen anything like it. a dog, beautiful grow, not with its own style. she immediately realized the potential and bullshit. ruth was a toy designer, a toy marketer. she had a daughter named barbara. she didn't like the options that her daughter had in terms of dogs. they were baby dolls for nurturing play. and ruth wanted more options, the english legs to sleep with the siege twice the pets. lily products from the german tablet billed with a groan she punched lines. lily was to starve the papers daily. cartoon the she was sassy, sexy and confident. ready ruth acted to click, she was sitting with linda, she to check part of the toy industry the last day for new teachers. i see it. ruth handler was clearly progressive for her time. she saw this doll in the shop window and thought i'd put, that's what i want to make on the doctor. so she said to us. mm hm. implemented her business idea. let's do and brought adult to market because that's tough. she said, every little girl needs adults project herself into her d

verdicts that go against what i like, you and i and ruth, we see those every day. that is fine if the system is functioning, but what we are seeing is a drive off the path of democracy into juries being intimidated, judges being denounced. the lives of family members being threatened and all sorts of political influence being used all over the place so that if there is an election in november and it leads to donald trump and what he is threatening, a year from now we will be living in a very different country. >> we are very lucky to have your perspectives and analysis on this, so thank you both for joining us. michael beschloss, nbc news presidential historian. the author of presidents of war. ruth ben-ghiat, professor of history at nyu and author of the book, strongmen, from mussolini to the present. both of these are important books if you're looking for something to read. >>> straightahead we break down the new u.s. backed proposal to end the war in gaza the president biden presented at the white house yesterday. what it involves, why now and what chances it ha

back with us, ruth ben-ghiat and douglas brinkley. >> ruth, i want to focus on the last thing michaelwhich is the idea of marrying two different ideas and a lot of what you hear from voters here and abroad the sense that traditional parties have not kept their eye on the ball. they are not going after economic issues and focus on economic issues the way people believe they are supposed be as though you cannot walk and chew gum at the same time. we know what's motivating is. when you put the united states and what's happening in europe side-by-side is a lot of what you see in europe is insurgent parties coming in and challenging traditional parties were at home, you have one of the two traditional parties simply picking up the mantle of the far right. >> that is right. we are in a difficult situation because of our bipartisan system which for years was thought to give us stability that other nations did not have. when you have only two parties and one has exited democracy and embraced insurgency and its leader kicked off his campaign to be reelected at waco, texas, who has made himself

the ruth acted to click. she was sitting with lily should hit the jackpot of the toy industry. the click of lots different tiers. i see it roof handler was clearly progressive for her time. she saw this doll in the shop window and thought i'd put that's what i want to make on the doctor. so she said to us. mm hm. implemented her business idea and brought adult to market him because that's tough. she said, every little girl needs adults project herself into her dreams for the future to come effects from the employment. and so bobby was, boom res handler, borrowed the name from his own door to barbara. she works fees receive with designers and fashion professionals on the new model whose me from the start to bodies would not be as simple. so bobby was to have a life, a job in dreams, funds for the the good side of the months, which is what i think it was very progressive for the time. if you really look at the context in which the style came to market and i hadn't thought to after all, it was the 1st adult dogs who before that little girl is only ever played with baby dolls. and

and it was enriched by the love of his wonderful wife, ruth. and this legacy continues on through his children, through grandchildren. and for the north carolinians here today, it's our great honor to have billy graham and his family call our state home. he was raised a small farm in what's now grown into a big city. and he and ruth, they could have anywhere in the world, but they chose to make north carolina home. they raised their family there and they put our state at the heart of global ministry. so as we honor his memory in the u.s. capitol today, let us never forget the bible that he preached, the souls that were saved and the lives that were transformed, enough lives to affect the course of nations. so it's our that we as lawmakers, as we come and go and as visitors pass by statue here of billy that we're reminded of his ministry and what he preached so often emphasizing two verses in the gospel of john etched on either side of this statue. the first, as we know from the book of john chapter three, verse 16, for as for as god loved the w

well, in the last few hours today, by ruth has spoken again in an election really in north carolina. with a clear answer, if anyone did have any del, told the crowd that he intends to winning november, saying when you get knocked down, you get back up. but indeed, television debate last night, americans saw him deliver a stumbling performance and struggling to counter attacks and false claims that were hurled out in by donald trump. the 46 president of the united states jo by the president's loyal supporters blamed it on a bad night. a head cold set his campaign, but many americans, especially those planning to vote for his challenger. donald trump saw in vitamin what they've seen for a long time. failure to get his point across under pressure. trump often appeared to struggle to understand by it and rather than to disagree with all those people, the idea that they're going to, i'm like, i'm proposing that everybody's a paper. so it's really, there's a one percent one percent so known and after i would not raise the cost of social security for anybody under $400000.00. after that, it

thank you, ruth, for that amazing lecture. as i was listening, i recalled it something that our colleague howard hughes talked, reminded me of the other day, which is a comment by prime minister netanyahu that you are of equal value to the state of israel as a division of the idf. and when howard reminded me of this, he said, you know, it could be apocryphal, but i told him that back in my journalism days we had something called too good to check if it's going to state it is true. for the record. that lecture was so rich, it's hard to know where to begin. i have so many questions and we will have time for audience questions as well. i thought we might approach the subject by focusing just on a few dates and then i have some more general conceptual questions for you too. and i want to focus on the campus first. a lot of parallels have been drawn between what is happening on campuses now and what happened in 1968 with campus protests over the civil rights movement and vietnam war. i'm wondering, though, that rather than parallel

among their number was ruth, born . their number was ruth, born.oung rennes, fighting the same war as the men on the beaches , but from a north london beaches, but from a north london outstation as part of bletchley's codebreaking nexus, ruth operated one of alan turing's bombe machines that helped decrypt enigma encoded communications . you were just a communications. you were just a teenager when you were recruited into the wren. yes, i just done my a levels. what they called matric and that would have enabled me to go to london. >> so i decided that i'd like to join up . we were initially told join up. we were initially told the work we were doing was specialised , and it was to be specialised, and it was to be quite hard work. there was no promotion and, we were never to tell anybody what we had seen or what we had done or what we had heard. >> i think we often think of even the code breaking story. even the bletchley park story is often told through the great inventors like alan turing. but actually, by the time you arrive live in 1944, it's e

ruth is still with us. last block because in covering trump's affection for putin, i just always wish he were around to smack some sense and reality into his old republican party. and i wonder what you think when you watch how quickly the party has sort of devolved into autocrat worship. >> exactly right. i think about mccain all the time and how miss his voice and his spine. and you know, it's not surprising to most of us what trump does or thinks. what's shocking is the extent to which the entire republican party has rolled over and they're about out of shoe polish right now from all the bootlegs that's going on. i remember joking with my circus colleagues when we were at the white house when trump was initially elected. one mentioned jokingly this notion that trump would em blazen across the front of the white house, his gold logo. now it doesn't seem to be so much of a joke. i'm sure people are thinking about putting him on mount rushmore and some of the examples you mentioned. the interesting thing to

and and that's one does support with please join me in thanking ruth

ruth, first question.zed profile has managed to stay under the radar. can you explain how this lower federal court has come to exert such a powerful force in shaping national policy? >> melissa, thank you for having me. i thought you did a fantastic job of explaining that everybody. the headline you showed from a column i wrote, i think that column was about three or four years old and the amount of damage the fifth circuit has done or attempted to do since then is quite extraordinary. the reason it has been able to do that is it's connected to form shopping. litigants can choose in a lot of cases where to bring their claims. they know the fifth circuit is the most conservative court in the country. they will find a way to do that. what happens in the fifth circuit does not stay in the circuit necessarily with the rise of nationwide injunctions. you see questions like mifepristone, the abortion case that was -- abortion medication case decided last week, going to the fifth circuit and going to judge kacsma

to another country. >> so, to that point, ruth. let me follow up because i mentioned that if you moments ago. does that number risk slumping even further in november and how big of a test is this election to america? either way i guess, and other words to stand as a beacon of democracy. even if they reject trump. they rejected him in 2020 and he is on the things of the confidence american democracy seems to be declining even with trump not in office. >> he did enormous damage in his four years, too. american democracy abroad. he had the thuggish secretary of state. he pursued self dealing. trump businesses are international. international enterprise. and he just brought down the prestige and integrity of american democracy the and that has lasted because also other countries see that this is a bipartisan country in a very powerful country in one of the two parties is enthralled to this cult leader and behaving in ways that are negatively autocratic so that brings down our prestige in the world as well. >> all right, ruth ben-ghiat,

i am also joined by my nyu colleague ruth ben-ghiat who is a professor of history. she is also the author of the lucid newsletter that tracks threats to democracy. she is also the author of the very well-received but strongmen. molly, first question to you. nbc jonathan allen made an intriguing point about yesterday's bump stock decision, quote, former president donald trump did not really want to buy bump stocks. when he did, he knew that the supreme court was likely to overturn his action. what are your thoughts on that and the dynamic between the trump administration and the supreme court during his first term and what might it be like if he has a second term? >> i think that gives trumped way too much credit that he would ban, that he would be thinking three steps ahead -- i don't think so. certainly someone in trump's administration maybe had that thinking. this supreme court, we know they almost always do the most conservative thing and one of the really good examples of that is the mifepristone case. they kicked it out on standing. there had been anxiety that

they say babe ruth, a lot of folks say babe ruth number one, and willie mays number two. and, you know, it was incredible. >> it giants legend, a hall of famer and now sadly is going back to where it all started. so i know like you said now it's this game on thursday night. it's going to take on a whole different level as people pay tribute now to the late, great willie mays. >> and now it just feels actually all the more appropriate that they're playing this game there, because it really does. because willie mays grew up not far from from rickwood field in birmingham, alabama. >> i know he wasn't able to make the trip that had been out in the news, but now we know that willie mays will be there in spirit, watching that game between the cardinals and the giants, you threw out stats. i thought it was interesting just reading a couple of them. he was zero for 12 to start his career when he was called up, and may of 51 zero for 12. but then on his 13th at bat he hit a home run. so joe do we. >> yeah. >> great story. great story you guys. you know that. he asked leo durocher

it might a- have been mister mays who passed babe ruth in 1974. or maybe a few years earlier. >> we're talking about the fact that, you know, he made fairly frequent visits even as he did hit his early 90's and would come to the ballpark in acknowledge people people loved seeing him. seems like the kind of thrived on that. >> i think he's resident and i think deal that if you talk to the players who got to. interact with will know getting players in the giants clubhouse these days. you know, they were not nearly old enough to seen him play, but they they certainly understood the magnitude his career, the magnitude of his aura. and they got a as big a kick out of it, probably more so than mister mays did. >> you know, maybe kids watching this at home. you on the news and all the sudden it, you know, it's like in your parents, drop everything. and when watch this. because they just figure out willie mays died. is it fair to make his aura and talent? and the propensity for the dramatic in the incredible analogous to like what we see with steph curry.

but if if justice alito's wife the flag that she raised, if that was raised by ruth bader ginsburg, iould submit that that would be a trending tattoo and people would plank in front of that flag. well, that he is anything that notorious one did is by definition awesome. i love this. this is job. >> i don't know about that because one of the things, we shouldn't have supreme court justices driving around with bumper stickers on their car talking about who they support in an election or what political causes they believe in. and so, so what i mean you to take some exception with short short justices. but the justices spouses is a different member if it if they, if they get involved in political campaigns, you do run a risk there. but ruth bader ginsburg, husband was very political and nobody had an issue with that because she's the notorious one and we all had to reflect on who she was in her importance and so forth. and certainly historic figure. but she got a pass for everything. her husband got to pass that sam alito and his spouse or clarence thomas and his his wife don't get becaus
