truman is not affected. he's inside the blair house but he's looking out the window, he's in his underwear in blair house and the secret service say get back, get back. being in the window could be dangerous and here we have the only time ever a secret service agent killed in dealing with this three-minute assault of gunfire. it's sad and he's buried on international cemetery. let's say truman had been killed in 1950, vice president barkly and truman didn't have a vice president because he succeeded roosevelt. alvin barkly who had been senate majority leader. he would have been good. i want to point out that he was older, though. that's interesting. that's becoming a trend. the vice president has been older than the president. quite often the case. most of the time in fact. what's interesting barkley after truman decides not to run in '52, he tries but he's already in 70's, he's too old. it looks like it. we now know we died in 1956, interesting. just like it had been elected in 1884. these are things, thank

then we have truman. truman is an incident that is highly controversial.the question is you want to believe are great truman's daughter. she wrote a study of us father and she argued that a scientist terrorist group as she called it which did exist after world war ii and was at fault in killing british leaders in bringing about terror and palestine be for we had israel. they were trying to kill president truman and 47 because he had it was felt he was unlikely to recognize a jewish homeland if it came about. it was thought that he would not be influenced as he was by his good friend eddie jacobson convinced him to recognize israel within 11 minutes of be declared in 48. in 47 he was out to kill the leaders and according to margaret truman is that letter bombs were sent to washington. of course it never got to truman but it was still of possible threat to his life. they say that it's not backed up by lot of evidence. the question is why would she do this? some might say that she is anti- israel, who knows. we know mrs. truman did not like jews that we do kn

brinkley: when fdr dies and the united nations is born, harry truman was the president. very quickly, in the truman years, we have bombs being dropped on hiroshima and nagasaki. how do you assess his decision to use atomic weapons to win the war against japan. prof. leuchtenburg: it is something that bothered me a long time at the time and i have never been able to shake it off since. there had already been so much devastation with ordinary bonds -- bombs in japan, dresden, and elsewhere. we had not seen a very great step up beyond this. the more that i wrestled with it , the more i felt that he was at a culminating moment. someone said that if he had not used the bomb and there had been hundreds of thousands of more deaths, as there would have been , in the pacific, and it had been found out that it could have prevented those deaths by this single am a terrible act, he not only would have been impeached and removed in office, but should have been. i quote in the book one of the aides as saying it was a horrible act. he said the whole goddamn war was horrible. there was

the truman doctrine. the marshall plan. nato. the korean war. happened under harry truman. most important of all, the civil rights messages. disappointment of the civil rights committee. and, his message to congress. , i was the only flight. i was 23. we had an office on a street. those of us on the steps could not sit down at a drugstore fountain and have lunch. we had to walk for blocks to assemble the service. in order to be able to eat together. willn's summer its message be the appointment of the committee in 1947. that, the intervention was briefed. a number of civil rights cases before the supreme court. that transformed the entire political landscape. >> dwight eisenhower had some civil rights moments. a federal intervention in little rock. but, how do he look at eisenhower? in grad school, there is the idea that eisenhower ironed things out. there has been a revisionism that he was more hands-on. did you miss something on him back then? >> certainly. that eisenhower demanded all memos be only a paragraph long so that his lips would not get tired. there were bumper

she and truman were two different kinds of kids in that little town. someone who knew them well said truman was too soft for the boys and mel was too soft for the girls. they were each other's only friends. >> host: and boo radly, i am pulling the name out of my hat is a real character who really did live down the street which is a gas station now. it was the backyard where he would be is backed up to a school. she describes it exactly the same way in the book. >> guest: that, too, speaks to the universality of the book. there is that person down the block in every neighborhood who will not come out or tells you to get off their lawn or something like that in every town that is an american frankenstein. it is only by extending ourselves we have to learn to live with them and not oppose them because they have every right to be there, too. like atticus says to the children leave that man alone. >> host: there is the idiot in the book and he was a very real person. he was, i believe, faulkner's first grade teacher's brother who was mentally incapacitated

then we asked truman. he's in an incident that is controversial because there isn't much backing to get. you want to believe. she wrote a study long ago and argued that a zionist terrorist group as she called it that still exist after world war ii and was involved in killing british leaders bringing about terror in palestine before we had israel that they were plotting to kill president truman in 47 because they hadn't been created but it was thought that it was unlikely to recognize jewish homeland if it came about. it was recognized with an 11 minutes being declared in 48 he was out to kill the leaders and margaret chernin letter bombs were sent to washington and of course they never got to truman that it was still a possible threat to his life and those who say that it's not backed up by a lot of evidence. why would she do this to some people might say she's anti-semitic or anti-israel. the truman should have said he's coming in but i'm telling you to bite the bullet. but anyway, the point is that is a

the balcony is known as the truman balcony after harry truman had a long and nasty fight. for most of the history, that is what the south look like. let's jump ahead with this gentleman. i'm sorry that the screen is a little blurry. he needs no introduction. this is a famous photo of lincoln taken. i think this was taken on february 18. this photo has been colorized. look at this. lincoln is in the flesh and it is just remarkable. if you look at lincoln and you want to pause, he was such a powerful photo and he suffered from depression, the war was stressful. and you can see all of this in his face with a sadness in the eyes. this is two months before his assassination. lincoln was impressed by the telegraph and he got a coast-to-coast telegram and he ordered the federal government to discontinue the usage of the pony express. at the time, it would take eight days to get something to the coast and with the telegraph, lincoln did away with the pony express. it was this technology that helps him manage the civil war. if you have seen the steven spielberg movie, lincoln, it i

the president and bess truman gave margaret a piano. one day a leg of the piano actually fell through the ceiling on the second floor and they really thought it was going to collapse. they had to move into blair house for 3 1/2 years while they fixed it. interesting. but basic footprint is still where it is, except of course east and west wings expanded. and of course it's expanded deep below ground, too. a lot of secret ways down. orb well, oh well. any other questions? hi. >> you've talked briefly about coming into the white house very early in the morning and seeing the dining room lights lit up. can you tell a little bit about what it's like to have the job that you have and what are some of the things that you have found to be a pleasure in that job, as well as perhaps a bur n burden? >> to me, the pleasure is really the -- the reason why i decided to write a book in the first place. it's such a privilege to go into the white house. such a privilege. and you're enveloped by history when you go in there. i was in the east room last

by this time truman capote is famous. in terms of literary, and for eight or nine years she's been trying to tell a story from her childhood. she was sitting at a typewriter and she realizes she's sick of this book. there's nothing else she can say. i go through this. when the words look like swedish. they seem to resemble english but they don't make sense anymore. she's the page out of a typewriter, puts it it on top of the manuscript, locks over to the window raises the window and takes one of the most popular books of the 20th century and throws it in the alley. she called her agent says i quit. she said for writing a novel is like building a house on a match sticks. she had lost the fire and ability to complete it. and he had been to this before with other young writers and said that is not just your book. for two years i've been helping you. my fingerprints are all over it. this is a collaborative project. it. it doesn't really belong to you, plunks to us. she went out and picked up the manuscript. >> they said the f

reconstruction, 1948-1952, truman told the guys to get the job done. wood, frames, they were a if you are an archaeologist, this became a good project. faceting presentation. i have a question from the introduction. what did the russians make of the super bowl? a supernot normally get bowl question. russia, this is how long ago it was. the redskins were a good team. beforer for, -- the year , they had won the super bowl. i actually figured out that i had big screen televisions and i could make this happen and i called called the nfl and and they said,is convince us and we will let you do it. russians, iand the do not know what to make of it. they think that they invented a small. they do. they did not know what to think. question? mount vernon has the best questions for any speaker. there must be something to ask this man. i will go ahead. >> this gentleman. >> what is the most interesting story about grant? , i am not sure if this is apocryphal, he got a speeding ticket. horses and a buggy and like to go out around town and was speeding down the road

there is a famous gilbert stuart truman was where sworn in. up the flooruffed with her roller skate the history is just remarkable. you said we can't escape it. you are walking where lincoln walked and thomas jefferson walked and thomas jefferson rolled around. it is mind blowing. >> in the floor plan, i think it was the current white house on the second floor, there was a room that was noted as "cos." what is that? >> in the west wing? >> the chief of staff office. >> it looks like it is in the private area. >> oh? i will go back and look at it. sure. >> fascinating. yes, sir? have you covered anything on the ford children smoking marijuana on the roof of the white house? [laughter] >> when ford was in the white house, i was a wee lad, and someone in the room could comment on that but i won't put him on the spot. i have heard those stories and i have heard about jenna bush doing it. they are children. so, yeah, maybe true. yes, sir? can he get a microphone? it is probably true. can't prove it. >> i was interested to see the painting of the wh

truman capote. [ music ] good to see you. is this a, a precedent? i don't think i've ever seen this uh, type of, i don't want to say it's an ad exactly... but it's certainly prestigious. >> no, what it is, it's a, uh, it's an experiment in, uh, calligraphy. you see, you take the magazine, take the cover of the thing... >> right. >> and then you have the whole thing designed as calligraphy, instead of using any kind of illustration. uh... >> see if i had been a man of letters i would have said this an illustration of calligraphy... [ laughter ] >> i just did it as the first paragraph of your book. >> well it's the first time that a magazine has ever done that, that i know of. but uh, i eh... >> it's a lovely piece. >> thank you. >> it really is. this is the first time-- >> and it's coming out thursday. >> yeah. >> on newsstands. an advance copy. >> it will be out thursday this week. >> you haven't done fiction really, for a long time, have you? >> uh, well actually, i've been writing, uh, this book for about four or five years. but this is the first

and truman's first real foray into the policy of containment, make sure that communism does not spread elsewhere. this is the struggle between ending the war as quickly as possible, and in the meantime, macarthur has been relieved of his duties, due to insubordination. one of the people is this man, the vice admiral. this is colored pencil, highlighting how talented the artist is. the chinese cannot fight without the soviets, so they decide to finally make progress towards the cease-fire. this is the painting depicting the signing of the armistice. the korean war does not actually and with a peace agreement, and ends with an armistice being signed. a continual cease-fire. the thing that has held up the cease-fire for a really long time was what to do with pows. primary those of soviet and north korean and chinese troops. obviously, the west does not want to go to the communist regime, the communist regime does not want us to stop their citizens from returning. a third party needs to talk to all the nws to ask where they want to be returned to. this is the great image of a north korean

great accomplishments, not only of this president but of the democratic party going back to harry truman. the republicans are -- [ applause ] you know, the republicans are determined to repeal it and they tried 62 times just to turn it back to the insurance companies. senator sanders and i share the same goal. we want to get to universal health care coverage. before it was called obama care it was called hillary care, as you remember. >> i remember. >> i fought really hard, the insurance companies and drug companies spent millions against me. i know what it's like to go up against the status quo and special interests. so when president obama succeeded, i was thrilled. i don't agree with senator sanders that we should start over, that we should throw our country into a contentious national debate about health care again. we're at 90% coverage. i'm going to fix what needs to be fixed, we're going to move from 90 to 100, which is a lot easier to get to than starting at zero to get to 100. so we have a difference. i think that is important. [ applause ] >> i want you to meet some of the folk

truman doesn't stand for anything. that's his official middle name. that's why you never put a period after s in harry s truman. >> on the twitter trail, hillary clinton says we live in a world with serious foreign policy issues. we need serious candidates. shouting and chest beating are not a strategy. voters head to the polls here, and a number of issues will be decided on march 15th. >> we'll talk more about those issues. let's start with this one. orange county, they have a >> there has been a lot of controversy. they will build a new library. the city wants to spend $30 million building the library. there will be an event center attached to it. two seats are up for grabs. that library question has kind of been driving the race there. very, very contentious issue so far. >> the development has been a sticky issue. we'll see when this is decided how residents feel about the way their city is working. >> a lot of these races as opposed to the other countries where you're trying to stop people from leaving the community, here we are debating how fast

as the truman and the french aircraft carrier charles de gaulle were near an iranian port. it marked the latest tense naval encounter between forces of the islamic republic and the u-s navy -- which includes the recent capture of ten u-s sailors who strayed into iranian territorial waters in the persian gulf. the cause of a fire is new information tonight. investiagtors in newport news are saying an electrical problem is to blame the home on darden drive is now condemned after that fire caused about 60- thousand dollars damage. no one was home when it started. the red cross is helping the family of four who lived there. coming up on wavy news 10 at 5:30- a man could face charges after firing a gun inside a hospital. he says he was just trying to get medial attention.

why thene tell me truman and eisenhower administration would have deemed it in the national interest to a comment european refugees and displaced persons? sarah. we are already locked in a cold war and battling for the hearts and minds of the developing worlds. this is a way of signaling are humanitarian commitment. any other reasons? they wanted european stability. that was in the interest of the u.s. ms. garcia: they wanted european stability, to assist in the post economic recovery. these are all very good answers. at the end of the war, there were an estimated 10 million people left homeless and in some cases, stateless in europe alone. truman wanted to accommodate a greater share of the displaced persons in order to assist europe's postwar recovery. financial aid to the war-torn nations was not enough. the united states had a moral obligation to accept a number of the displaced persons in europe. yet congress resisted. even after americans became more fully aware of the horrors of the not see death camps, congress resisted. congresse tell me why would have been so resistant at t

he was a liberal democrat, a liberal anti-communist but campaigned for truman, and he voted for truman in 1952. in 1954 he was still -- would ask him what his views were, a liberal democrat. 1962, eight years later, he is so conservative that general electric, which had been employing him as spokesman, said we can't have this guy around. he's embarrassing us, and he adopted this view that basically liberalism was just a short stop on the way to socialism there, was a continuum between democratic libbal rhythm and communist and we were sliding down that slippery slope. part of it came out of the -- which he read and influenced him. what happened in those eight years? that's a huge gap from truman democrat to goldwater conservative, and it's almost a blank period in reagan's life because everything before that is his hollywood career, which is incredibly well-documented. and it's documented the way a hollywood star is covered. he's covered as a celebrity, pictures everywhere he went, everything he wrote was in celebrity magazines, things being written about him. once he went into politic

harper lee, who wrote an american classic and helped truman capote write another. there's no substitute for the love of language for the beauty of an english sentence. there's no substitute for struggling if a struggle is needed to make an english sentence as beautiful as it should be. >> mary murphy directed the documentary, harper lee from mock bird to watchman, a celebration of 50 years, "to kill a mockingbird." mary my friend, welcome. >> thank you. >> what drove you, what was your interest in harper lee? >> i think it was reply interest in the novel. and the incredible impact that it had. and when i began to really research the context in which it first appeared, i needed to learn everything i could possibly find out about her. it is one of those rare phenomena. "to kill a mockingbird" is a phenomenon. about growing up about love about loneliness about tolerance and race, it's an incredible courtroom drama pap all of those things combined, make it a masterpiece that millions and millions of us have in common. >> you got as close to her as any journalist who is

harry truman used the desk before me. a month after he became president, he asked judge jackson to be the chief prosecutor so, justice jackson went to nurnberg and, for the better he was the years, chop -- the chief prosecutor at the trials. tied court can do a lot of things and, what we should really do is decide to rehear a case. you can be tied with nine judges and one decides they cannot participate in the case. when that happens, the court does a number of things and this is important. next in the shadow of the nine months we are away from people getting a chance to vote and lifetime appointment on the court is important. served for a quarter this is something worth thinking about and, frankly, at this moment and others that have occurred, it theoften been the case that american people ought to have a say as to who sits in the supreme court seat and that will happen and i think it is the best thing to happen this time with a lot at stake. on secondourt does amendment matters, on first amendment matters, those freedom

. >> this is truman. he's smiling a lot now. and fun. >> he's a happy baby. >> he is happy. >> and that's caleb and this picture, truman's diaper needs i'm a good mother i change his diaper i want people to know that. [laughter] i changed it right after the picture. >> there's no doubt. we know you're a good momma and we're so happy you're back. we do have to take a quick break so here is a look at lease a 2016 lincoln mkx for $399 a month only at your lincoln dealer. >>> good morning, waking up to some left over snow, right now traveling from north perry is a good little pocket of snow there really impacting parts of painsville right now and will continue to traverse up 90 heading into ashtabula good news is it's not going that way what i would worry about are the temperatures. it's cold out there. zero degrees right now is what it feels like in miller burg. these are the feels like temperatures, i'll go straight to that feeling more like negative numbers for everyone waking up in ashtabula i'll let you know how cold it's going

the b-52 was gnawing rated during harry truman tonight. talk you mention harry truman, you're talking about their presidents. the challenge is we're not modernizing the equipment necessary to fight fiercely and to fight in a way that protects the troops. that has to happen as well. we have -- donald trump in one of the great moments of one debate was asked about the nuclear triad, and he clearly had no clue what he was talking about. it was obvious volunteered belief. a little scary because we need to modernize that capability for deterrent effect. across the spectrum we need to rebuild the military. then we need have a commander in chief that won't impose political considerations on top of the department of defense in return for reform and modernization, which is essential, we ought to have the backs of the military. the commander in chief should not try to politicize thing, centralize power inside onational security council. when i'm president i will have the backs of the military ask for options. you don't outsewers this. you accept res

harry truman et in the capital. and now we're working on that process. but we're also trying to make sure that the president of the united states who was a resident in the fifth congressional district and who served in world war one, which connected all of this together, received the proper attention. and so we're working on both of those. and this is the realization of bringing all of that together at one time. and so as the hope for peace began to fade after the war had ended, it became apparent that this would not be the last war. it would be the children of world war one veterans who would become the greatest generation because they were called to fight yet another war. world war ii. and so i am thrilled to be here. and with some excitement wait design unveiling of the winner. i would like to present the person who pushed and pushed and pushed and without his push i'm not so sure that we would be here today. and that is the vice chairman of the commission. virginia.ntain of [applause] . >> thank you, congressman cleaver. i appreciate that very much.

harry truman couldn't get elected this way. >> stephen: harry truman wasn't elected the first time. >> but he won reelection. but my point sit's sound bites. how are you going to elect a president on the basis of a clever sound bite, especially if the sound bite is designed to attack somebody else. look, let me just tell you so you understand. if i can't win by being fundamentally positive, what's the point in winning? ( cheers and applause ) i mean, ought to win -- >> okay, so what's the positive message? the positive message that i'm hearing so far is that i'm positive. but what's your positive vision for america? >> look, we have to balance budgets, have commonsense regulations. we've got to cut taxes -- >> so some regulation is okay. you're running as a republican and some regulation is okay. >> look, the republican party is my vehicle. ( cheers and applause ) it has never been. so here's the thing, stephen. >> stephen: boom, boom. i got a mic drop on that one. that's crazy. >> here's the thing. look i was the chairman of the budget committee when we balanced the federal budget. w

antithetical in every way to harry truman, and harry truman used to use big words when he talked to atchisone them, and atchison said that was one of the reasons he admired truman so much, because it proved that truman, although he had no come patriots who shared his intellectual interests, and who would know how to pronounce the words he was reading, kept at it anyhow because he wanted to learn, atchison would subtly correct him and admire him for that. a book which i don't think has been written about the relationship, the friendship, between these two very unlikely people, would be a wonderful piece of reading. >> host: eric burns, if somebody wants to contact you do you have a webs or a way for them to e-mail you? >> guest: i don't have a web site. what i would suggest is -- >> host: you don't have to suggest anything. >> guest: i'm just wondering if my publisher has a web site. >> host: your publisher will have a web site. if you go to the back you can see it. who the publisher. >> guest: it's -- the books are transcribed by norton -- pegasus. the flying horse. pegasus. there will be a

he was an anti-communist, a liberal anti-communist by the campaign for truman, and he voted for truman in 1952. in 1954 he was still, if you asked him what his views were, they would say a liberal democrat. 1962, eight years later, he is so conservative that your electric which had been employed him as a spokesman said we can't have this guy a round. he's embarrassing us. the adopted this view that basically liberalism was just a shortstop on the way to socialism, that there was a continuum between democratic liberalism and communism and we were sliding down the slippery slope. part of it came out of the height book served in which he read a which influenced him. what happened in those eight years? that's a huge gap from truman democrat to goldwater conservative. it's almost a blank period in reagan's life because everything before that is his hollywood crew which is incredibly well documented, document the way a hollywood star fly this document. there are pictures of authority went. everything he wrote was writing in celebrity magazine at the time, things written about him. once you i

the first conflict the cold war and first real military action twaepb by the united nations and truman's first real foray to make sure communism doesn't spread elsewhere. 1951 and 1953 is the struggle to end the war as quickly as possible. one of the people end ridgeway is this man. this is a colored pencil from herbert hawn and highlights how talented he is. incredibly life like. in 1952 stalin dies and the chinese can't fight without the soviets using their machinery. so they decide to finally make progress towards the cease fire and this is the painting by russell connor depicting the signing. primarily those soviet north korean and chinese troops because obviously the west doesn't want them to go back to the communist regime. so neutral third party has to be set up to talk to all pow's and ask them essentially where would you like to return to and then they'll be returned to that location. this is a great imman of a north korean pow. it really sort of highlights this struggle that is about pow's and that's the core of the korean war. what do do you with all these people. so there is
