yaltaer, way back at stalin had all the rooms and as , so truman,course churchill, all bugs as a mattercourse. >> i would be fascinated to know barack would say to obama at that meeting for the rules of engagement about spying on each other. i want to have that room swept. it is not what you think. every director wants to have a superb cast in whatever project he or she is directing, but because this is a story line that jack ryan fans are familiar with, you are introducing new people. it seems to me you did a pretty good job of casting. cast of thebout the specific film. tochris pine becomes central this as an actor capable of doing what i thought was essential to this. we need to be interesting actors i could watch inking. thinking is going to be part of the entertaining. it sounds as identical to film. it sounds antistatic -- antit hetical to film. it is putting two guys on a bench late at night in moscow talking about things while one leaving ana dog or envelope. there are a number of times when it is just two people talking to each other. in those times you need complexity, depth,

who can deliver and it's not always clear at the exact moment in time how things will play out so harry truman for example is considered a very tough minded person who took decisions that helped shape a world that ultimately worked to the advantage of america over the long term and therein lies a lot of his popularity even if he wasn't the most the most welcome friend around the bar for a lot of people in the country i think that the broader issue and the trend which is a place that history can really help helpfully advise is the dysfunction of the current system of government that we have i mean let's remember that abraham lincoln many others have described our system as an experiment the exist this is to me the united states is an experiment and one that continues to play out its great virtue is that it. is a system of checks and balances where it's hard to amass all right if you only rush out of the dating discussion fortunately we've run out of time many thanks to my guests in moscow washington and in boston and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at r.t. see you next time and remem

so we pick up things like. truman's prayer rugs so when we know they do they're coming from the middle east concentration camp. concentration camp. study president of the white house is not even one disclosed the fact that he's a stranger. to. the. ukrainian leadership concessions followed by fresh violence as rioters in kiev ignored the agreement with the opposition to clear the streets. while western ukraine is wrought by more protests as local administration buildings are stormed or taken over by crowds in a more than a dozen regional centers. also this week face to face for the first time the syrian government and the rebels discussing prisoner releases and humanitarian aid at peace talks in switzerland but have so far of why did that tough. not to be managed well mean fans have to leave and have to find peace in life we can to keep up amid the bombs and bullets in syria we visit a maternity ward there to find out how.

so we picked up things like. truman's prayer rugs so now we know that they're coming from the middle east concentration. concentration camp. study as if the wind was not even one disclosed the fact that. a stranger. why do. this for a live for all the other planets why the truth with such disregard on the spot one of the things i think that's a human mission to mars will accomplish is to make humans here on earth more sensible about life about life on this planet about the plan itself about the environment as so want us to want to keep benefits for human mission to mars will be a better earth. stalled talks accusations traded in endless demands made this sums up the process being play. out in geneva with a virtual stalemate on the battlefield outside proxies far left to make the hard decisions and compromises to alleviate and then to finally end a civil war which of these outside powers have the political will. what it does to who's writing it and where was it leading to seeking to bearings we seem to turn to the news to

troy paino, the president of truman state university. he misses his students sohey're on break. >> they're on break. he's just bored out of his mind. the secretary isn't there. he's playing with his little soldiers, making sure every single book is aligned. this is the time when you get all the odd jobs done and all the stuff you ever wanted to do. a little empty nest syndrome, that's all. >> at the very end, he basically hangs out with the mascot, the bulldog, to eat some marshmallows and has a message for students. hope you're making the most of your break. to tell us more about this video, we have dr. paino "right this minute." >> well done. >> tell me why you decided to make this video. >> last year i had our videographer in my house and we were shooting a video for something else and spur of the moment, i had an idea for a welcome back video. we just really threw something together. sent it out to the students and they loved it. they loved it so much, i thought why don't we devote a little thought to this and do another one this year, giving them a glimpse o

he served again a few years later as press secretary for president harry truman. so what you are looking at here are fdr's press secretary and harry truman's press secretaries. this handsome fellow here was dwight eisenhower's press secretary. this was jfk's press secretary. these were lbj's press secretaries. he burned through a few of them. this guy had a tough job. he was richard nixon's press secretary. these are gerald ford's press secretaries. he had two. this was jimmy carter's press secretary. only had one his whole presidency. these were ronald reagan's press secretaries. the last guy you see there, marlon fitwater was george h.w. bush's only press were all of bill clinton's press secretaries. he had a bunch. these were george w. bush's press secretaries. this was president obama's first press secretary, robert gibbs. and this, as of today, is president obama's current press secretary, jay carney. notice anything different here between jay carney and all of his press secretary predecessors? notice something new that we have never seen before? ah! oh, my god!

so. i don't think anyone at truman has anything to worry about there. i love it here and i love the students here. i hope it comes across in this video that i really feel a connection with our students and i hope to keep it for some time. >> that tricycle was pretty tiny. >> i tipped a few times. >> is there anything you didn't use? >> probably not measuring the basketball goalie. >> when the students come back, are you going to throw them a big welcome back party? >> that's an idea. i haven't gone that far yet. we might have to come up with something. i make it a point to interact with them. i think that makes it special, a lot of the students actually know me and know a bit of my personality and i think this fits with that. >>> hello, everybody. i'm beth troutman. if you want great videos from the web, we got 'em, "right this minute". >> a champion of paragliders and a new acrobatic chute but this test proved to be a failure. >> whoa! >> a whole bunch of their lines smacked under 6 gs of load. >> the race to get control of one tangled mess. >> blond v

this is more unproductive than the do nothing congress under harry truman. sos we face in this country are great. the president doesn't just have an economic obligation to make sure that economic inequality is something we confront, but also a moral obligation for people who are working at the minimum wage, who are working full-time jobs and taking home under $20,000 a year for their family. this isn't just an economic problem in our country. it's also a moral problem. and the president i think realizes the urgency of the moment. and i think he realizes -- and the republican party isn't just intent on obstructing the president. let's be clear. they're also intent on obstructing each other. there is an official state of the union response that is going to be given by this congresswoman, republican congresswoman. now you have people like rand paul are going to come out and give their competing response. you have mike lee giving the tea party response. >> no doubt about it. >> they can't agree on how best to obstruct the president. they're obstructing each other o

kind of bully pulpit grassroots populist politics that made old school democrats like harry truman and f.d.r. so successful part of this i believe has to do with the president's self at his core he's not a bleeding blue progressive music more of a clinton democrat the kind of person beltway types call a moderate support liberal causes and bring the fight to the republicans but only when he's pushed by people on the left. and that's where we the people are. if we want president obama to do more than just sign executive orders then we have to start over from the ground up we need an inside outside strategy inside political parties and outside the political. we need to do with tea party to start taking over local political bodies like precinct committees taking over the party we need to rally behind the elizabeth warren's of our country people who can singlehandedly shift the debate surrounding issues like student loans and social security reform. the stakes couldn't be higher we are now more than halfway through the second two term democratic presidency in the past two decades this is an opportuni

so we think of things like. truman's prayer rugs and we know that if they're coming from the middle east sometimes situations in. concentration camp. responded as if the line is not even one disclosed the fact that he's a stranger. breaking news this hour authorities are negotiating with rioters in ukraine you're looking at live pictures where they're trying to storm a convention center where some two hundred police officers are based that's following the opposition's rejection of president bush's proposals aimed at the quelling the ongoing anti-government riots. this has two police officers kidnapped by rioters in ukraine's capital have been released both were allegedly tortured as fears are mounting of radical protestors derailing the concessions of the authorities. and in other news up to twenty nine people are killed in street clashes with security forces across egypt meanwhile a powerful explosion is reported outside a police building in this.

so she called my grandmother and said, mrs. truman, do you know where the painting is, what can i find it. the grandmother said, yeah, it's on my wall. mrs. johnson said, you really should not have that, it belongs in the white house. my grandmother said, no, that is my painting, it is on my wall, and that is where it is going to stay. i think mrs. johnson tried a couple of more times but eventually gave up. there were two copies made by the artists. one of them hangs in the truman library down the road, the other is in the white house, but those are the copies. as is the original portrait. first lady mamie eisenhower's sense of style got her noticed by the fashion world. with one of worked her favorite designers for her suits and they wear outfits. this is the outfit that she wore to the formal opening of the saint lawrence seaway, where she -- ike met prince elizabeth princess elizabeth and prince philip. this is a printed cotton fabric with many of the houses the eisenhowers lived in during their marriage. it also includes the five

back you'll want to rent a microscopic exam just so what's the bet it is a home video bike but it's more fun to be fun to think you know me well like the truman show one thousand nine hundred thirty years but again it's not profitable time so they tried to make him an alright read how they did their bit. so she goes to fill in all right. and the word of. god look around at him he's going to create all kinds of crazy. job security issues. not good news. and he put a price guy who found the gonzalo by john cleese lives needs. but. did you know the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across several we've been hijacked why handful of transnational corporations they will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once built my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem trying to ration. real discussion critical issues facing america from go ready

the republicans forty seven years republicans were out in the wilderness because harry truman beat up side the head so bad yeah well i mean i think it's absolutely true and i think you start to see that after his reelection where he was just like you know this republican congress hasn't allowed me to do you x. y. z. president. the president obama hasn't thought that so i mean he has set that i think a lot more aggressively you'll probably see a little bit of that tonight and certainly in his attitude about trying to do executive orders to get things done has been a definite move towards saying well look i can't get anything done with this republican congress and so i'm going to move forward and do the best thing i can for the american people within my within my power mark george washington did eight executive orders during his two years ronald reagan did twelve thousand. you know it's really grown since then. it really started exploding actually during the f.d.r. administration he was the first one to have four digits in the number of executive orders instead of three and i think you have to go back t

so in the early days of the cold war, president truman created the national security agency to give us insight into the soviet block and give us information they needed to divert catastrophe. throughout this evolution, we benefited from both our constitution and our traditions of limited government. u.s. intelligence agencies were anchored in a system of checks and balances. with oversight from elected leaders and protections for ordinary sentence. ordinary citizens. meantime, east germany offered a cautionary tale of what happened when vast unchecked surveillance turned citizens into prisoners for their own homes. and even the united states proved to not be immune to the abuse of surveillance. in the 1960s, governments spied on civil rights leaders and critics of the vietnam war, and partly in response to these revelations, additional laws were established in the 1970s to ensure that our intelligence capabilities could not be used against our citizens. in the long twilight struggle against communism, we have been reminded that the very liberties we preserved could not be sacrificed at

so i have two quick questions. one, in the '40s the state department was full of arabists. george marshall threaten ted to resign if truman recognized israel, or at least very unhappy about it. so, were these people connected with the state department people? my second question is about suez. apparently you talk about that in the book. the british, french, and israeli expedition to retaining the suez canal. were these three involved in that? >> thank you. those are great questions. there were links between the cia arabists and arabists in the state department. lloyd henderson is important here, another man called edwin wright, a leading state department arabist and who coached the young archie roosevelt when he first started having assignments in the middle east. so, it's a widespread phenomenon in u.s. governing circles at this point. a number of people who believe that the u.s. should really be throwing its weight behind the arab world rare than israel and oppose palestine and then u.s. recognition of israel. of course it's a battle they lose because the power of the i zionists in american public life is growing, and ac

so she called my grandmother and said, mrs. truman, do you know where that painting is? and my grandmother said, it is on my wall. and mrs. johnson said,, you really should not have that. it along to the white house. and my grandmother said, no. it is on my wall and that is where we'll stay. i think mrs. johnson tried a couple more times, but eventually she gave up and had a copy painted. copies made, and one of them hangs in the library down the road and the other is in the white house. those are the two copies. this is the original. >> first lady mamie eisenhower's sense of style kept her noticed by the fashion world. >> i'm surrounded by a few of the items that kept her on the 10 best dressed list. she worked with one of her favorite designers for her suits and daywear. this is the outfit she wore to the formal opening of the st. lawrence seaway. custom-designed d ress, this is a printed, con fabric with many of the houses the eisenhower was lifted in during their marriage. in during their marriage. these are a few examples of her day dresses. she was very fond of the

truman creating the nsa in the '50s. and then the challenges that the new world that we're living in with this extraordinary technological ability, what that presents. and so one of the concrete proposals was to create an advocacy board or a single advocate, someone who would be sort of looking over the shoulder of this court that okays what the nsa wants to do. he would need, i think, congressional approval for that, so he's going to do something on his own in terms of increasing accountability, you know, within the white house. but he's also looking to congress to bear some of the burden here going forward. >> big data and civil liberties. president's concerned about that. he brought someone into the white house to monitor and prove it, man by the name of podesto. what do you know about it? >> we live in a new world, in a sense that things might have been legal to collect on people in the past wouldn't have been collected by the state, because they couldn't put it together and form much of a portrait. but today, you can take all of these little tiny bits of data and create this mosaic that allows you to know incredible amounts of things about the general

so there is no guarantee but i think he went in that direction. he probably would have grown the way trumangrew with the force of events. >> i would like to thank you for your talk also. i have two questions which bear on the details of what you have talked about. you indicated that eisenhower said that his most excruciating time was waiting for a ration torch. if you could elaborate on that and my second question is, the more i hear over time, the worse the french, out. if you could elaborate on that also. >> well eisenhower, you have to realize that the american army of 1942 was completely untested. and a major amphibious landing was a big gamble. if you put these two things together and eisenhower had reason to be worried. nobody knew whether this was going to work and nobody knew whether the americans will could work well with the british. so there were all kinds of concerns at that time by june 1944. of course that was a very risky operation too. because there was at least the potential that the germans would be very well dug in and ready to mobilize tremendous forces against a small i
