with truman. not the fact that it was shabby. but the secret service and all of a sudden it's too dangerous. this is the wood primarily inside with the lamp and all that, one fire bomb could ignite it. truman was presented with a report that had been done a week or two after pearl harbor when they begged roosevelt to leave. he said i love old houses, i will not. it was the safety of the president. and when it was finished and truman finished his remodelling in 1952, it was the safest house in the world. it was concrete blocks. it was steal. every room was a cage and steel and the old walls were preserved but the inside was all new. bombs could go off and nothing, they thought, would happen. but, of course, bomb technology has made that passe. >> which first lady was the most intelligent? >> there were a lot of those. boy, you get me on these thing mgs. you really do. you mean in the learning sense? i'm going to have to return to ms. theodore roosevelt. happier in a book than anywhere in the world. she was a bookish intellectual w

that's th why president truman presented it. .. the idead at that point was to limit the war because the nuclear bomb had you fight for limited objective to not to win the war but fight to satisfy particular limited objective. i think, of course, macarthur coming from world war ii didn't see war in that way. he believed the war still meant victory, which meant world war iii, and and the bomb, i think, changed that calculation; right. >> macarthur didn't really understand that. but it was framing the strategic objective of the administration. >> guest: right. >> host: as truman grappled with the -- and grappled with choices they had to make. >> guest: right. >> host: so in term of the fact of the korean war, and the unfinished nature of it, before we get in to that, i want to ask you you spent a lot of time looking at the action of u.s. policy makers. truman, eisenhower, big names. >> guest: right. >> host: who do you think comes out well among u.s. policy makers in term of understanding the nature of the conflict, the changes that

because of the truman doctrine and the marshall plan after that and truman was seeing things the wayrchill hoped that the new american president would see things because america now lead the world and the empire was down on the totem pole. eisenhower, churchill held a modest to two lower opinion of especially when eisenhower in office started to talk about using nuclear weapons and it's the chinese and the north koreans and at one point he said he reserved the right or if this happens we will use nuclear weapons and churchilchurchil l begged him and eisenhower did change it to be reserved the right to consider the use. again churchill didn't have that much -- truman was out of office before churchill went back into office of the never knew him in a professional sense. churchill didn't go back into office until 1952 and left office in mid-1955 so eisenhower was president for eight years of which churchill was on the scene for about three. >> unfortunately we are out of time but i would invite you to continue this conversation. paul is going to be in the book signing room which is adja

truman would say that he likes this or did not like that. truman would say the same thing. boys, i'm going to run this by the boss. we will finalize it tomorrow. even best truman played a role will stop secondly, there is a social influence role. we do not have a monarch. the first lady -- they can about michelle obama -- she has been on more than kim kardashian. mrs. obama is iconic figure. all of these first ladies are. they rank in the top 10 most admired women in the world. usually number one or number two. ms. roosevelt goes out and embraces marian anderson. she was going to perform an operatic performance. the daughters of the american revolution found out that she was african-american and did not want her to perform. eleanor roosevelt goes onto to the fields and teske -- in tuskeegee and championed their cause. mary todd lincoln collected food and clothing for slaves to move to the capital city. betty ford did more to promote breast cancer screening among women than anything before or since simply by her being the first lady. i cannot imagine have thousands of women

nation not to have a national health plan, so the president was able to do something that president truman and every president up to him was not able to do, which was kick the can down the road and reset the language, and that is to say we now see health care as a right and not a privilege, but i am not surprised that the powers that be, if you will, are pushing back personally, because a lot of us felt uncomfortable with the mandate and those with great plans don't want to change them. >> let me break it down. we will have both of you weigh in. it went all the way to the supreme court, provisions of it, the unions which were rah rah to have it, and the employees now say they don't want it, and we can't point fingers, and if you say president obama kicked the can down the road and did something nobody else done, and it's not done until it's done and right now it's not done, and how do we get there or walk away, particularly with all of the calls for defunding. >> it's going to be a process. when i was on the radio five days a week here in chicago, i took umbrage with many pieces of the pla

can you imagine harry truman, winston church hill doing this? every program we have is always susceptible to reform. to be silent about it and suddenly jump because edward snowden has revealed secrets and put our country at risk, it's somehow like a moral equivalency. i wish he showed the same anger toward edward snowden as he did toward republicans on obama care. there was no outrage there when he was asked do you think he's a patriot? what do you mean you don't think he is? this man's a traitor. to me commander in chief should show much more war time leadership than has been show by the president on this issue. >> he did say that edward snowden should come back to the united states and face, you know, his day in court. he is charged with three felonies there. congressman, you're essentially suggesting that the president was bullied into this press conference by edward snowden. >> yeah. it was started by edward snowden and then the issue got out of control by a lot of hysterics in the media by certain politicians because the president was silen

his name was alvin barkley and harry truman's vp.ey was an aging capitol hill lifer when he teamed up with truman in 1948. he served 14 years in the house, 22 in the senate. that's 36 total. he had been an ambitious up and comer once way back in 1928 he thought 4iz big moment arrived, a spot on al smith's democratic ticket. the deal fell apart, and years went by and they stopped talking about barkley as future of democratic party. he was 78 years old. he and truman were not supposed to win that election but somehow they did. just like that, barkley had the national stature he dreamed of. everyone thought it would be a nice reward for a long and distinguished political career. what they didn't know, at least not at first, is that winning the vice presidency re-awakened barkley's ambition. if i can make it to the number two job, he figured, why should the top spot be out of reach. when the 1952 election rolled around, he went for it. this is when smoke-filled rooms existed. barkley waited until just before the democratic convention in

from harry truman to ronald reagan. and i almost dropped the phone. >> so then you knew you had a story. >> yes. >> and no one had talked to him in 34 years of service in the white house? >> 34 years. i went over there, of course, the very next day. a day later, because his wife said, yes, we'll talk to this writer, but you tell him that we both have doctors' appointments tomorrow. and so i waited a day, fairly nervous, hoping that they wouldn't change their mind. i went over there and sat with them throughout a whole day. at one point she said, honey, you can show him. and i didn't know what that meant. and he got up, frail man at that time, and asked me to hold his arm. he took me down in the basement and he turned on the light. it was like being swooped through a magical curtain into the land of oz. there were all these photographs of him and president truman, him and president eisenhower and president kennedy, president johnson, president ford, president nixon, and there were lettering to him from these presidents a

. >> stephen: local pastor truman hurt is bringing the hurt to the fairness ordinance. >> we should be able to fire and deny them service or deny them housing. >> stephen: but pastor hurt has nothing against gays. >> i have nothing against gays. i don't like their lifestyle. i don't like them trying to push it on me and my family. and the community. >> stephen: so? they ought to go back in the closet where they belong. >> stephen: and pastor hurt has the full support of the city's simple hill folk. >> i'm in favor of the gay rights ordinance. >> stephen: he's obviously not from the city. who else? >> i think the ordinance is a great thing. >> stephen: she's a lesbian. what about gary? gary, tell me what's wrong with the ordinance. >> i have one thing against it. not one thing. >> stephen: not one thing. what is wrong with you people? >> this is a small town. they think we're a bunch of close minded hill billies. >> stephen: yes, we count on that and this openly gay mayor is ruining all our classic stereotypes. >> i'm also the town hairdresser. >> stephen: okay. that one sticks. but how

we have a senior fellow with the truman national security project . from beijing, a professor, an expert on robotics. thank you so much for being here. there are more drones in the world than ever before. we just saw the story about these military type robots, these autonomous robots. it appears we are beyond drones. >> we are moving beyond drones. there is massive perforation -- proliferation. companies are working very fast. it is an arms race developing between different nationstates. i have tracked 77 countries. it is new bells and whistles to sell more and we are moving to the state of autonomous drones. this is very concerning. it will change the nature of warfare, i believe. it is being specifically designed for use in the pacific. 2000 mile range and because the chinese have weapons that can sink american aircraft carriers for the first time, they need to keep further away. they can automatically refuel in the air. pretty scary. >> it looks pretty scary. it is more palatable to see these drones take place in countries where we do not want to s

according to legend, that was president harry truman's take on things in the nation's capitol.ing a little down about the trouble he continues to have with congress. and the first family has announced a new dog for the white house, her name is sunny, a portugese water dog, just like the first dog. the first lady said he didn't have enough dog interaction, but didn't mention the president was looking for a new pal. as for what sunny can expect, it is a good life. sometimes the press can get first pets down. remember when george bush's dog let this reporter know just what he thought of that question. but one thing is constant. every u.s. president has had at least one pet. because when a person is a friend, he knows who he can count on. the first president practically had a zoo, yes, george washington was the proud owner of many stallions, even a parrot, in addition to several dogs. welcome, sunny, may you spread some cheer. we can hope. thank you for watching "nightline," as always, we're on line at abcnews.com. for all of us here at abc news, good night, america.

commissioner truman. >> well, i join both the chief and president mazzucco in my thanks. your actions speak more than anything that anyone up here could say. thank you so much for your service. officer cunningham, officer caltagirone, officer valenzuela, officer lee and of course my dear friend deputy chief smid td you are the shiny example you showed on that day and this day. thank you very much. >> thank you. commissioner kingsley. >> i would like also to add another deep thanks of gratitude for your heroism. we spoke a little bit out in the hallway but i'm also very happy to see you all standing here and able to continue doing your job that you are safe as a result of this and we're all grateful for that as well. that you did go in. you did your job in a you supurlative heroic manner but you also did it in a manner where you came away okay as well and that is very important to the people of san francisco as well and thank you very much. >> commissioner chan. >> thank you officers, lieutenant, and chief for your bravery, your heroism, your selflessness and i was flying

president, harry truman was out for his walk this morning and said he didn't think we should have a taxut until we get the budget balanced. and the other day, he said what people think is true is very often more important than what actually is true. what -- in view of all of that, what do you think about cutting taxes while the budget is still indeficit? >> the reason the budget is in deficit, you get more than 4 million people unemployed. you have a slow growth, much slower than any other western country. i am in favor of a tax cut because i'm concerned if we don't get the tax cut, we'll have an increase in unemployment and may enter into a period of economic downturn. we had a recession, we have done pretty well but still have over 4 million unemployed. this can stimulate our economy, providing for greater national wealth and reduce unemployment. i think it will strengthen our goal position so i think the response we've made is in the best interest of the country. >> the affirmative economic response to britain's tax cut seems to be almost immediate, would it be as immediate in this c

president truman had a cocker-spaniel. linden johnson owned several beagles during his time.d a bit of a stir when that photo holding her by the ears upset some animal activists. george h.w. bush owned millie who was a springer spaniel. president clinton tried to bring the cat sox into the white house and later joked he had better luck with the palestinians and israelis. and george w. owned two scottish terriers. beasley and barney. so you you need everything you need to know about first dogs. >> thank you very much. it may be one of the most iconic sketches. take a look. >> this bores me. is anyone up for a game of basketball? >> i learned something. never judge a book by its cover. this cat can ball, man. >> play ball. after it was all over, he took us in the house and served us pancakes. >> still holds up after nearly a decade and apparently prince was a big fan because he's bringing it back to grace the cover of his new single. >> let's check in with david letterman whose top ten list counted down what was going through a-rod's mind as he got hit by a pitch on sunday. >>

chin who was the chair, deputy chief loftus and smid t and beale and the members were vice president truman, director hicks was president. and staff from the risk management officer and sergeant [inaudible] -- >> [inaudible] >> sorry. with respect to officer involved shooting 13-004 this case was presented by inspector mcdonald and occurred in dublin california on the home of the officer involved. the officer was off duty and cleaning a weapon when he had an accidental discharge which struck his leg. he was in the process of repairing a weapon and had actually forgotten if he had loaded the weapon and struck his leg and recovering from the injury at this time. he is back in a limited capacity, and the finding on the case was not in policy. the other discharge we looked at was one occurred that in alfred lake in 2013. in this case a dog charged an officer who was investigating a man that he had seen that was unresponsive and slumped over -- he was slumped over the dog and the dog charged and the officer fired twice and that was determined to be in policy. those were the cases we reviewed and
