we have first lady bess truman, margaret, and president truman. these three were very close. the secret service agents pegged them the three musketeers because they did everything together. they played the piano together, sing together, they debated. they were very close. my father really admired -- the truman's. in 1953, 1953, and dwight d. eisenhower became the 34th president. of president eisenhower, my father said, i thought of him as my commanding officer. i felt like we had won world war ii together. he spent a lot of time on the golf course and since i was a georgian, familiar with the area, i would often accompany him on those trips. ironically, though truman's left after the president was inaugurated and they went -- they waived the secret service agents from their train. that was the flavor of the protection back then. it was very different. you have the president and first lady riding in an open car, open topped vehicle. people are hanging out of the windows and the crowds are close to the street. these are the agents. even one of the participants in the parade las

truman is essentially arguing the u.s. is going to have some sort of authority because it's going to be able to know the desires of the p.o.w.. but how could the u.s. military claim to know the desires of these p.o.w.'s. who were they? there were 50,000 that claim to be from the south originally. people who were drafted or had journey -- joined the northern korean army. and think about this. if you were a south korean soldier and taken as a pow by the north korean army, but later on when the u.s. military is given the greenlight to cross over the 38th parallel and if you have those north korean the u.s.rrendered to military, what ended up happening is the u.s. military looks at the south korean p.o.w.'s and said, ok, we don't know what to do. so, then, everybody became ..o.w.'s you had south korean military officials as p.o.w.'s and that is important to note. another thing that is important to note -- after the entrance of forces,ese volunteer there becomes a new informal policy where the u.s. military is allowed to roundu

maybe the best example of that would be best truman -- best truman. best truman at the time was spotted by the general public as someone who barely knew what her husband was doing professionally, spent a lot of time in the truman home in missouri and so was in washington to see these huge event harry truman was the presenter of, the end of world war ii, the korean war, immigration of the military and so on. and then after they were both gone and you begin to get into the letters and diaries and so on, you saw how really essential she was, not only to an but to that presidency. so all i'm telling you is that if you hear a first lady in real-time or a first spouse as a man will be first spouse i hope soon, just give the credit to the president, be a little bit skeptical. does that sound right to you? >> let me say one thing a pose and are currently difficult question to george p bush that relates. i found. that's each the barbara bush, like aids was an issue, behind the scenes she was very influential in but more generally just as the partner to george

his one to beat harryic truman d bring back republican in the white house for the first time since 1932. fdr so that was a very grave disappointment shall we say to bob taft and a conservative. clause we sick well, we've got to nominate a conservative. clause we think that that will

he cannot be there to support them he would go on to be one of the greatest presidents of captain truman. he left a small town law practice and a part-time teaching job to join the american army assembly that was my wife's grandfather from southeastern north carolina but before he was 18 he was marching up. four.7million americans took a loss 150,000 did not return. america was not ready for them chaotic and inefficient series of organizations trying and failing veterans care was a national embarrassment one veteran himself led the reform that unified those that were responsible and in the wake of world war ii 15 billion returning both were two veterans after 22 months of hell and a grateful truman turned to the men that he knew to carry on the legacy and that was bradley. so the problems that are attracted asked them to think about the first eight weeks that omar bradley served of 11 million americans and in two years he built 52 hospitals and that academic relationship served as the core of veterans care 172 hospitals and clinics the washington post praised omar bradley's that he bring

airlift, and truman approved of them.he british royal air force not only involved most of their military transferred aircrafts, but the british government also hired and paid for planes from 23 private charter companies to fly goods to berlin. the former enemy that sent rockets to great britain just four years before was now supplied by former western enemies. the part of the french forces was basically the construction of the urgently needed third airport in the french sector. it was completed in november 1948. some 19,000 workers built it in record time, just taking three months. with their c-54 transport plane, the u.s. airport provided the largest air fleet for the operation. more than 400 planes were involved in the operation. the amount of cargo flown into berlin, as well as other parts of berlin, was increasing every month. only november 1948 was difficult because of heavy fog. the winter of 1948-1949 was not as cold as the soviets might have hoped. here, you can see one of general turner's ideas. is that a laser p

and talked to president truman about helping germany and europe recover from world war ii with massive marshall plan aid. ultimately, $12 billion given to 16 countries to help them recover. begin come to what would the crisis in berlin. in order for the german zones to be able to recover and profit from marshall plan aid, they needed to get rid of the old currency and institute the new deutsche mark, so the currency would be worth something and the economy could be stabilized. the soviets said this isn't allowed. you can't introduce your own currency, we are supposed to be treating our germany this say -- the same. we said you haven't been treating yours the same. the communist party and taking things out of your zone. you are not following the rules either. stalin was also cognizant that the west was so suspicious of what he was up to that the west was beginning to plan for the creation of a separate west german state. to stop that stalin decided to , blockade the land and water to berlin. bevin and brits with general clay in the united states who decided to respond to stalin's blocka

truman. my own great-grandfather was there. he left a small town law practice in the mississippi delta and a part-time teaching job at ole miss to join up with the american army assembling in camp gordon, georgia. another part of georgia was my father's grand -- my wife's grandfathe grandfather. a teenager from southeastern north carolina who never ventured much beyond two or three counties in the carolina, but before he was 18, he was marching up into the bloody hell of the new sargon. 4.7 million americans took up arms. 200,000 wounded. 150,000 did not return. that time, america was not ready for them. chaotic, inefficient series of organizations, tried and failed to serve people like roberts, johnson, truman, bullard, and somerville. veterans' care was a national embarrassment. major general frank hine, world war i veteran himself and v.a.'s first, led the consolidation and reform that unified and improved response for veterans across america. the wake of world war ii, 16 million returning world war ii veterans, after 22 yea

truman appointed him and he was in the treasury and he helped truman negotiate any got truman to nominate him as governor of the fed and very quickly he started doing things that truman did not want, raising interest rates and truman was angry about it and he was later on the street saying that was the worst decision i ever made. he was the one that coined the crates that the fed's job is to take the pocketful away from the party as it starts to get going. that was volker and martin afrin them. and i don't recall that kennedy did a lot but lyndon johnson really, martin actually resisted political talk to lower rates under kennedy. but johnson put the can wash on him and johnson were at loggerheads. but i don't think kennedy was so successful in choosing martin to do the white house. but johnson got to him in the end. that's my recollection. that's a different book and a different topic but thank you for the question. we have time for a couple more questions. >> what is the panel's opinion or prognosis if one of the 28 that are advocating for doubling or quadrupling the capital gains tax r

the first president to be booed by civil servants and people who live in the district was truman.he opening of the game in d.c. and wasn't booed. so it was d.c. was somehow a special, protected space for presidents that they could go to a public game and not be booed. and that's what we saw disappear yesterday. what was the first time, i believe, since the world series game where -- it was the time since harry truman that anyone had been booed at a world series game because it was a world series game that truman -- so i think the issue here is he wants to be talking to his base. >> to amy's point about -- >> exactly. and one of the things the president has to be is president of all americans. so you should be -- you should hope that the president could go into a public space that is not vetted or curated and get respect but show respect and i think this is the issue with someone who comes in to try to destroy being presidential. as he said, being presidential is boring. well he may have learned yesterday that if you play the presidential game, you might gret presidential respect a

was interested and in fact under truman and there were some roads built but it wasn't until eisenhower came along that a first interstate highway was passed it allocated the money necessary. >> you're about to make the journey again for those who want to recreate the route, how can they do that. >> well they can read my book first of all but the likened highway association has a couple thousand active members and they have annual conferences and they've been very busy promoting the lincoln highway, keeping the knowledge of the lincoln highway active so i would say go to the lincoln highway association website, look at what they have for information and you can get a detailed map, in each of the states along the way the tourist bureaus have information on the lincoln highway as well. >> the roads are certainly better but what they see similar topography that they saw hundred years ago. >> yes they see war buildings along the way but the topography is certainly the same, nowadays you have the interstate so if you want to do this fast you can get right out there in just a few days but i f

there's almost a kind of truman-show-like quality.ue on the campaign, other people were doing rope lines, taking questions at town halls, never, never, never interacts with the majority of the country that does not like him. >> right. this is not exactly a one-to-one situation. he's in a sky box and there's a stadiumf stadium full of people. yeah i mean, i think it was pretty healthy. i mean, you know, this is obviously an organic thing. this is not a situation where, you know, nancy pelosi is standing in front of the crowd on the field saying, you know, trying to whip up -- >> right. >> i mean, because that's really what he's been compared to -- >> right. >> -- in certain instances and seems like a fairly ridiculous comparison. i mean, the issue here is that donald trump is most powerful man in the world, and the fact that he comes out of the kingdom and the castle and gets some tomatoes thrown at him, potatoes, that's just, you know, comes with the territory. but it is stunning that he's never been able to do that. >> never. i mean,

harry truman to ronald reagan.d on the telephone at home, sitting on my couch, eating a pita butter and jelly sandwich, the phone rings and it's pam williams, one of the producers of the holy. i didn't think the movie was even happening. it was like several years after the story was that i heard anything. then i started hearing from the people making in the movie. lee daniels wonderful director he directed the movie.anyway, pam calls me and says, we finally found the actor who's going to play the butler.i said, great she said, forest whitaker and i said come on now, really? who's going to play the butler? she said, really forest whitaker. i said, oh my goodness, wow. the next thing my phone rings again and pat williams, we finally found the actress was going to play the wife of the butler and i sent him a great going to be? she said oprah winfrey. and i said okay now, let's stop joking let's go on to the serious part of this conversation. she said, wil, sit down. i said i am sitting down. she said, oprah winfrey is

told rudy giuliani no that's president truman's personal attorney he essentially warned them that the information that you leon he was was getting from the ukrainians and it wasn't really trustworthy he also it's also being said here in the media that president trump ordered the removal of the former u.s. ambassador to ukraine following complaints by giuliani now let's not also go back a little bit because in the whistleblower complaint it was said that folk are just one day after the phone call between president trump and the ukrainian president met with the president selenski alongside the u.s. ambassador to the european union in which they spoke to him about how to navigate trump's requests now before his testimony folks are also handed over documents including copies of text messages that he had with rudy giuliani but of course this testimony has been taking place behind closed doors and a lot of the attention today has been focused very much on those rather explosive comments that came from president trump or exactly the president's making new accusations saying it's not just ukr

essentially, each one of us is an our own truman show. if we are not careful, we wind up having our own set of facts. you see this every day. one third of americans do not believe there is any relationship between human activity and climate change. that is demonstrably false. there's another 7% more a person who believe there is a linkage between vaccination and autism, which is clearly not true. in a democracy, if you can't agree on the facts, you can't have debate, you can't t have compromise.. facebook has played a larger role than any other platform at increasing this polarization. they have had a lot of help from youtube and instagram, but facebook has been the one that has been the worst.. amy: and why a threat to public health? >> there are a bunch of things going on in public health. it people live in a fantasy world, if they live in a truman show and they are angry all the time, if people are constantly being bombarded with stuff that triggers fear and outrage, that is not going to be good for the mental health. let's think about

>> i think the truman the president has done a tremendous job . the is our job easier that the president has helped turn the economy around, rebuilt the military, is america strong as more people are working today western art the president deserves credit for that. adam schiff deserves to be censured for lying to the american public when nobody else can read what he's able to read . anything else? thank you all. >> now house democrats hold their weekly news conference. asked about their handlingof the impeachment process . >> good morning, thank you for your presence. we had a very active discussion earlier today about one of the top priorities of the house democratic caucus . hr three, or go to lower drug prices on behalf of the americanpeople . we consistently made clear to the president and to the set that one of the things that

when truman fired douglas macarthur, a national cry laced with impeachment talk which happened one year later as he seized the steel mills, and the president fell from the scene until nixon and after nixon it disappeared until after iran-contra. it wasn't until bill clinton and the clinton impeachment, and ever since then that impeachment was a dominant motif how americans think about politics and the presidency. in that period, what is alarming to me is there's been a ton of impeachment talk with no discernible benefit and quite a few harms. certainly it doesn't appear to be the case that presidents are notably more constrained or likely to be impeached in this period of time, if anything, hyperpartisanship suggests they are less likely to be. mustering a national consensus to do so is all the more difficult. at the same time, this massive oversupply of impeachment talk has given our politics more existential character, it encouraging tribalism and polarization, and worse, it can help the president who is abusing his power because as we saw under bush, obama, and now trump, presidents

the truman doctrine. the marshall plan. nato. all that came out of that so-called do-nothing congress. at the same time, under bob taft's leadership in the senate, he was an ohio senator. they cut taxes. the cut spending at the same time and the country was better for it. at least as republicans argued. >> who was robert taft and what was his role in the modern conservative movement? >> robert taft was a brilliant senator from ohio. elected in the 1930s and took it upon himself to challenge the new deal. >> the son of william howard taft. >> yes, thank you. president and chief justice of the supreme court. robert taft was a brilliant guy. always prepared to always knew what was happening on the senate floor. always willing to take on the democrats and the new deal. what would happen is that people looking around when a new bill came to the senate, it would turn to bob and say, what's this bill all about? they knew he had taken the time to read it and do - - he would be able to discuss it. he was conservative but he didn't call hi

kind of a coded message there we can get very very creative here and look at the holy trio of bronze truman and your ship your office human brothers who are very close to full wonderful man was a big mentor your shit was a violinist we could i mean there are so many ways of seeing this it could also be a memory of of plot or it could be also a nostalgic memory of his youth. the fact is that it is something very private and personal and it needs to be played with that. which is going for the money is looking to the origins let's look how it was done 1st let's see how many people who are playing we know now that there are $40.00 people playing the 1st of a 40 people as a very small number in comparison to the standard from performances today which are 80 and over which means that if you have double the strings you have to double the wins. if you do that you will get a much more substantial sound but much less. orchestra because the speeds the capacity to to play the unit for chamber music with a generous regard to ease is more complicated if you have an orchestra that is very large so you sac

working with harry truman, the building blocks of the policy of containment area the truman doctrine,the marshall plan, the nato, all that came out at that so-called do-nothing congress. that same time, on leadership, the senate who is the ohio senator, they cut taxes and spending at the same time. the country was better for it. at least that's what republicans argued. scenic who was robert task and what was his role in the modern conservatism short >> robert taft was a brilliant senator elected in the 19 from ohio. he took it upon himself to challenge a new deal. i don't know, thank you. william howard taft, president, chief justice of the supreme court. he robert, is the brilliant guy always prepared and always knew what was happening on the singapore always wheeling to take on the democrats and a new deal. what happened is that people looking around on the new bill came out to the senate they would turn obama say what is telus with this is all about. they knew he'd takens the timeo read and do it and be able to discuss it. he was a conservative but didn't call himself a conservativ

truman scholarship foundation. i share with you this business of public service, and i love your sentiments as far as this genuinely being an alliance. first of all, what i would say is i'm keen to work with you. for those of you not familiar with us, we are the presidential memorial to president truman. he didn't go to college. so rather than having a brick and mortar monument on the mall, i love those, they're beautiful, but unlike the washington monument and lincoln memorial, we provide a $30,000 scholarship for each state-by-state competitive process for the most outstanding pull the microphone closer. >> my apologies. basically, we're a scholarship for young people making commitments to career in public service. dovetailing on the economic question, i agree wholeheartedly with the sentiments here. but for so many of our scholars, it's an economic question. so it's not that they're not interested. it's not that they're not keen. but with college debt being what it is, with affordable housing being questioned in

. >> harry truman started the cold war, reagan ended. okay, maybe bush ended it.s both sides. >> and everyone gave credit to everyone as well they should have. and this is a tradition that really goes back to the night of pearl harbor. after pearl harbor, franklin roosevelt invited the congressional leadership from both parties to come to the white house and talk about what they do next. that tradition went all the way through the cold war and the post cold war era. looks as if it's another that may be going by the wayside. >> he also asked wendell wilke to cut a deal with the british before the war. let's talk about the pelosi thing because pelosi is an honorable person. she's obviously partisan. no more partisan than anyone else in washington. a smart, patriotic person. in a statement today, pelosi said the house must be briefed on the raid. the russians but not top congressional leadership were not notified of in advance. the the overall strategy in the region. the statement reminiscent of remarks she made directly to the president earlier this month when she a

truman agreed with the governors veto. suck asking for five dollars just to see a street. >> reporter: for the folding family from portland so that they had to pay or reserve, they likely would not visit lombard street. happy that is not the case. second is understandable with the traffic in the maintenance. for us it is beneficial the governor vetoed it. >> reporter: local and ste leaders say they will rkwith the governor to come up with new legislation next year. what the legislation means to be seen. ktvu fox 2 news. >>> people and east palo alto witnesses to come forward to help solve a year-long murder case. slightly demonstrators shouted solve this case referring to the shooting were two men were killed and two others were hurt at a party last october. the two men were killed and their families are asking the community to help authorities find whoever did it. >> the bottom line to it as is in every case we do, we need to citizens to come forward and honestly tell us what they thought, and what they kne that is why i'

about this white house butler what worked in the white house for 40 years, from presidents harry trumanto ronald reagan. i was called on the telephone at home. i was sitting on my couch eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and the phone rings and it's pam williams, was one of the producers of the movie, attitude and think that the movie was even happening. it was like several years after the story was bought that i heard anything from them anyway, then i started hearing from the people who were making the movie, lee daniels, wonderful director. he directed the movie. anyway, pam williams calls me and says hey, we finally found the actor who is going to play the butler. and i said, oh, great. who? and she said forest whitaker. and i said, come on now, really? who's going to play the butler? she said no, no, no, really, really, wil, forest whitaker. and i said my goodness, wow. and the next day my phone rings again and pam williams says, we finally found the actors who's going to play the wife of the butler. and i said, great. who is that going to be? and she said, oprah winfrey. an

like a dog and a cow were an almost hour long news conference from president truman he went into a lot of detail about his death and he said that al baghdadi had killed himself using a suicide vest he also said that tests being carried out on the body and that it was it was him in fact and u.s. forces were in the compound for 2 hours and that also they had seized highly sensitive material and information on the isis president went on to say that he knew of possible successors to diety as leader of the so-called islamic state and the interesting lee you mentioned that he russia turkey syria and iraq as well as intelligence officials from the united states and also u.s. special forces and also what was quite interesting was how he said that he watched the entire operation and how he said it was like watching a movie. what more do we know about the special mission. well what we do know is the president said that he had been under surveillance for several weeks and that there had been 2 or 3 efforts to capture him and that they've been canceled he also mentions how the u.s. special forces
