truman. and he said, you know harry truman. was a man. uniquely of his time he was you know ordinary man came up through the ranks. and because he was that way and uniquely of his time. we will never see his life again. now i do hope that history will prove cronkite wrong, but i will say that i do think the legacy of harry truman is something that is incredibly unique. last president i'm sure will never have another president who didn't go to college. i'm sure we'll never have a president who you know was a farmer and just came up through the ranks and local politics and made his way all the way to the oval office. i think i think that trajectory is probably gone forever, but there was something wholesome about it. there was something valuable about it and i think in preserving that legacy in this library and in this museum in this way at this time, i think that we are doing a great service for for the nation and for the world people come from all over i mean ambassadors and senators governors and and military people retired all over the

and truman, this is the beginning of the truman doctor truman shortly. thereafter gives a speech to congress and he says it must be the duty the role of the united states to defend free people's when they're under attack. it's a very broad mandate, but it becomes it's a it's a partner of the long telegram and the containment doctrine it's kind of the action arm. the united states is going to do this now. canon who wrote the long telegram reads the speech at the state department doesn't like it. he says well that's gonna get us into a war. it's two militaristic. so the author of the long telegram. privately disavows harry truman speech but by then truman's not paying attention to kennedy. he's paying attention to atchison. and importantly the sperry same moment where then couple of weeks. we realize in the united states that europe is really is collapsing. as the horrible winter, it's amazingly. there's no power in britain. i mean, it's just a terrible. it's like it's like the where the kansas city is have actually right now, you know, 15 below zero and a

i'm told truman mr. and mrs. truman. visited in 1956 and paid a visit on the churchill's at chartwell during that that visit it became a very warm and admiring mutually admiring a relationship. i i read today that truman referred to churchill as the great figure of the 20th century to which his secretary of state de natchez and said you'd have to go back. 300 or 400 years defined as equal in the world and churchill famously. i think he was. may have been riding on was it the presidential yacht when he proposed a toast on a later visit to the united states to truman and said, you know when i met you for the first time at potsdam i hated you. i love you for succeed, you know succeeding my friend the great franklin roosevelt, but i have to say answer i believe no person has done as much as you have to save western civilization. became a rich mutual admiration society. any closing remarks from either one of you? i just say i think it churchill's view of the world and and truman's view of the world. was it might both be admir

the grandson of harry truman. to all of you, welcome and thanks for joining us on the 75th anniversary. thanks thank you both the miracle of joining together like we are today is remarkable and we have almost as many people watching this speech today as we did in the gymnasium 75 years ago. i think what i would like to do is begin our conversation today with putting the journey to fall ten in a context geopolitically. 75 years ago, the world was a different place. at the end of world war ii, the allies had been victorious in europe. they won the war, but winston churchill lost an election, the general election of 1945. by all accounts, he was despondent until he received the invitation from westminster college, with a postscript from the president saying this is a wonderful school in my home state of missouri. i will introduce you. clifton, you might be able to start here. postscripts like that or something your grandfather did quite often. is that not the case? >> he did. if you look through the collections at th

accompanied by president harry truman. on the 75th anniversary the college hosted grandchildren of truman and churchill. their discussion was live streamed from the harry s. truman library in independence, missouri. >>> welcome. we're very glad that a global audience is joining us here from america's national churchill museum. my name is tim riley, i am the director and chief curator here at the museum at westminster college. this morning or afternoon, depending on where you are in the world, i am live here from the spencer reading room here at the museum, and we are launching our program today remotely from independence, missouri, the home of the truman library where director kurt graham is directing us, and two special guests. we begin our program with two guests that have a position for the subject and, of course, the two principle players in our story, winston churchill and harry truman, namely the grand daughter of sir winston churchill, and clifton daniel, who is the grandson of harry truman. to all of you, welcome a

i will introduce you, best regards, harry truman. it is this letter that brings churchill to the heartland of the united states. convinced that he has obtained the world's attention. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> fulton's biggest day in history as the daily gazette put, it had finally arrived. march 5th, 1946 was somewhat overcast as crowds lined the streets in anticipation of churchill's motorcade. about 25,000 people were on hand to welcome the dignitary when they arrive just out in the afternoon from jefferson city. there were marching bands, flags and balloons. president harry truman and winston churchill sat up on the back of the open limousine. between them, the president of west minister college, doctor frank mcclure, sat down lower on the seat. churchill smile down at the crowd, giving his v. for victory sign and waving his cigar. at last the motorcade came to the grounds of westminster. colors the gymnasium was packed. loudspeakers outside the auditorium delivered speech to the overflow over crowd. special section near the stage was reserved for

many historians now believe truman was aware of what churchill had written. the chicago sometimes called the speech poisonous. a new york paper described the speech as an ideological declaration of war against russia, while many in congress called it shocking. on the trip back to london, crowds gathered outside his new york hotel. a british foreign office for sport found the conclusions were supported by u.s. conservatives in military departments, but condemned by congress, the media, and the public. nevertheless, the speech cave these sharpest jolt to american thinking of any utterance since the war,. it set the pattern for discussion on world affairs. stalin denounced the speech has warmongering and compared the comments to adolf hitler.

of course, after the speech, truman distanced himself, uncharacteristically for truman. he said, "i had not seen the speech. " eleanor roosevelt did not approve of the speech. she thought it a threat to the alliance her husband and churchill had started. so truman somewhat distanced himself immediately after the speech. but in the end, truman had great affection for churchill's words, and used the speech in many ways as a blueprint for the truman doctrine plan that was the united states'recipe for waging the cold war. >> let's talk to clarence, who is calling from east lansing, michigan. clarence, good morning. good morning gentlemen. >> good morning. i have been inspired since january or march about the speech. i never really realized that was given. so far, just been receiving snippets of churchill's speeches he gave. i think he is one of the greatest history people in history, one of the greatest statesmen that ever lived. i hate to say it but possibly we may have been speaking german or japanese or italian if it were not for people like him, you know? i feel like he

harry truman. when the president signed that in postscript at the bottom of the letter, churchill immediately took notice and knew he would be back on the world stage if he had president truman next to him on a platform. i'm not sure if churchill knew where westminster college was when he accepted this, but truman's endorsement of that invitation was really the trick that did it. churchill then began plans in october and november to travel the united states, spend several weeks in miami. he was a very smart man. in january of '46 spent several weeks in miami relaxing, painting and crafting the iron curtain speech. so the answer is the college asked, but they had a little bit of help from the president of the united states who appealed to churchill as well. >> so we talked about this just a little bit, but tell us what winston churchill's political style was in the u.k. at that time? like you said, his party had been voted out of power. does that mean he had no more political influence, this speech

until truman started to speak and then churchill realized that truman was the right man for the right job, but they really forged their relationship in some ways on the train ride from washington to missouri on march 4th, 1946 on the way to the iron curtain speech, you know, they were an overnight train. there was a little bit of poker diplomacy the two men played cards and shared churchill shared early drafts of the iron curtain speech with harry truman. who approved and said you know, i think this is going to create quite a stir but i think you're on to something here. truman said to churchill of course after the speech truman distance himself and said, you know uncharactive question and characteristically for truman. he said i hadn't seen the speech in advance. you know, eleanor roosevelt was was livid after the speech. she did not approve of the speech. she thought it was a threat to the alliance that her husband and and churchill had started so truman some what distance himself immediately after the speech but in the end truman had great affection for churchill's words and and ag

but in your room contract view was truman right? he went to his grave believing bouts the right decision. not only did it save american lives, those who would continue to fight world war ii also the lives of allied nations. >> i think truman and his latter days did express some regret for making that decision. i think as anyone, almost anyone of course are people we know who are sure of everything they do. but truman did have some self doubt despite his reputation for being utterly decisive. actually, i thanks it shows more than humanity that eventually later on did he start having second guesses. made a comment about killing women and children that really, i think he thought about to the end of his days frankly. but, again i think he was comfortable with the justification that he had saved what he considered to be i think one estimate was a million american lives. i never saw an estimate of how many japanese lives but it will be many more than that. but the problem with that is that million soldiers are dying estimate, came from no

truman library in independence, missouri. >>> welcome.e're very glad that a global audience is joining us here from america's national churchill museum. my name is tim riley, i am the director and chief curator here at the museum at westminster college. this morning or afternoon, depending on where you are in the world, i am live here from the spencer reading room here at the museum, and we are launching our program today remotely from independence, missouri, the home of the truman library where

harry truman was a very unlikely president.he was a creature of one of the last urban political machines, the pendergrass machine in kansas city. he was primarily known as a political hack, but he was loyal to franklin roosevelt. and roosevelt needed a new vice presidential running mate in 1944. here is a reminder. in observing this story, i'm reminded how much things changed over time and what we expect of the president and how presidents and running mates are chosen. we live in a time when presidents, whoever gets the nomination of the party, gets to choose, often without consulting anybody else, consider sarah palin, or even dan quail, without telling anyone else this is my choice. that was not the case for most of american history. for most of american history, the president was told, this will be your running mate, because the leaders of the party had the interests of the party at heart. and they needed to balance the ticket geographically and by age and by various other things. the democrats told roosevelt in 1944, you've

harry truman. harry truman was somebody who never would have been president if the only way to the white house was through the front door. but harry truman was one of several presidents who became president by virtue, as a consequence of the death of his predecessor. when reporters -- when harry truman became president, he told reporters, i'm going to be as straight talking as i ever was before i became president. and harry truman was a really unlikely president. he was a creature of one of the last urban political machines, the prendergast machine in kansas city. and he was known primarily as a political hack. but he was loyal to franklin roosevelt. and roosevelt needed a new vice presidential running mate. i'm reminded how much things have changed over time in what we expect of our presidents and also how presidents and their running mates are chosen. so we live in a time when presidents, whoever gets the nomination of the party, gets to choose, often without consulting anybody else, consider sar

truman carried this poem when he went to france as an artillery captain in the first world war.he carried the poll in his pocket on april 12th, 1945, when he was suddenly summoned from the u.s. capital building to the white house and told that he had become president. truman became president the month the united states and the united nations was born in san francisco. by then however, dreams of a world made tranquil by universal law had melted in the cauldron of war. today, we know what churchill never doubted. nations are here to stay. nations not super national entities, are the prime movers of history. and the united states which churchill loved as much as he loved is american mother, it is more indispensable than ever. i'll give you just one example. churchill firmer -- certainly appreciate. a two thirds of the planet that is covered with water the oceans, the great global common, will be policed and kept orderly by the united states navy or it will not be orderly. we are 75 years on from one at churchill's urging here, the united states unfurled a flag of world leadership.

truman did not want to do that. the joint chiefs of staff did not want to do truman and the jcss opposed escalation they feared a soviet move in europe. feared a land war against china in east asia and therefore truman basically told macarthur the joint chiefs of staff the chairman of the joint chiefs at that time was omar bradley told macarthur. no, you can't do that. macarthur really got incensed over this wrote republican congressman joseph martin condemning truman's policy as appeasement. as appeasement dirty word in 1950 given what had happened in the 30s with nazi, germany. the press printed the letter and this created a firestorm of i guess conflict in the joint chiefs of staff and in washington over macarthur. and is unwillingness to political guidance in this war. and eventually as a consequence of this. truman fired macarthur here he is meeting with macarthur in october of 1950 on wake island. pacific so on april 11th 1951 douglas macarthur was canned by president of the united states very traumatic affair

truman. i found of course it was a very prosperous town and all of the damage had been repaired long since. >> what was his response? did he comment? >> he didn't comment. i didn't hear back from him. i sent him the report just so he would know and wrote a story about it. but he just wanted to know what the people thought about him. and the mayor of hiroshima is a socialist. and he said mr. galloway, we people of hiroshima, we hold no grudge against mr. truman. but we do wish that he would quit saying if he had it all to do over again he would bomb us again. and i happened to know that the mayor as a young man had worked as a clerk in the post office in hiroshima. and the night for it was new, his boss, he had been working long hours and his boss said yoshi, you look tired. why don't you sleep in tomorrow morning. and he lived about 10 miles outside the city and when the place got nuked, he was not there. he was home asleep. and it saved his life of course. and i said mr. mayor, if harry trum

in 1910, on the other side of this state, harry truman was 25. he was working on his family farm behind a horse drawn plow. he very likely is the last american president never to have gone to college and the last who worked behind a horse drawn plow. truman put in his pocket that year in 1910, a copy of tennison's poem loxley hall which includes these lines about a world without wars, a world subdued by international law. til the war drum throbs no longer, and the parliament of man, the federation of the world, there the common sense of most shall hold a fretful realm and awe and the kindlier shall slumber, left in universal law. nice words. not churchillian. churchill knew better. truman carried this poem when he went to france as an artillery captain in the first world war. he carried the poem in his pocket on april 12, 1945 when he was suddenly summoned from the u.s. capitol building to the white house to be told that he had become president. truman became president the month the united states -- the united nations was born in san francisco. b

best truman and their daughter margaret. she even turned down offers to paint other us presidents out of loyalty to the truman family in particular kemptons likeness of truman, which you can see pictured here rosen popularity, and it was later used for his official campaign posters for a commemorative postage stamp and for a commemorative coin next slide. so now that we've talked about porter tests, i'd like to expand our view of the white house collection to include women's sculptors and painters some of whom you may actually be familiar with next slide. so we'll begin with mary cassat who is a prominent 19th and 20th century painter and she's known as the only american included in the french school of impressionists cassat exhibited her work alongside famous artists like dega monet and renoir in paris, and she popularized impressionism back home in america. she was one of the few successful female artists of this period and she was especially known for her depictions of domestic life motherhood and children one of her work

harry truman was just a remarkable man.i first came to know him when my first job outside of texas was kansas city. the first day at work, the bosses i'm going to break un, on the day side a bit, then you're going on the night shift because you were the last guy hired. you get the crappy schedule. he said inevitably in new york desk is going to ask you to give a comment from harry truman from this, that, or the other. he showed me the rolodex and said this is mr. truman's home phone. you call it. it wasn't two weeks until exactly that happened. i don't know what it was. it was some question. and i with trembling fingers doubt the former president's phone number and 9:00 at night. and he answered his own phone. and i was apologizing like crazy. he said oh son, i like reporters. it's editors that i hate. go ahead and ask your question. i asked it. he said yes. the answer to that is on page 197 volume two of my memoir. but i don't expect that you editors can read, so i will give you the answer again. and up apologizing again.

truman had put in his pocket that year in 1910. a copy of tennyson's poem loxley hall which includes these lines about a world without wars? a world subdued by international law a world made safe and tranquil till the war drum throb no longer and the battle flags were feral. parliament of man the federation of the world they're the common sense of most shall hold a fretful realm in all. kindly earth shall slumber left in universal law nice words not churchillian churchill knew better truman carried this poem when he went to france as an artillery captain in the first world war. he carried the poem in his pocket on april 12th, 1945. when he was suddenly summoned from the us capitol building to the white house. to be told that he had become president. germany became president the month the united states the united nations was born in san francisco. by them however dreams of a world made tranquil by universal law had melted in the cauldron of war. today, we know what churchill never doubted. nations are here to stay. nations about sup

and then after that, president truman renovated the white house. the famous truman renovation. the entire grounds begin one mass construction site. >> i want to stay with the roosevelt for just a second ago they were an office for such a long time. the longest number of years for the easter egg roll. what were those particular things, they had lots of kids. >> it was a good time. fdr was not known to make too big of an appearance because he was concealing his disability. but eleanor roosevelt was there, she was very much the leader of the easter egg roll during that time. she's the first lady or president to speak live directly from the easter egg roll on the radio. and usually the weather was very good. there was one year where was not so good. it was unnaturally very cold and only about 5000 kids showed up, which is really tiny for something like this. and she more or less discouraged -- encourage everyone to run around, have fun and stay warm. >> talking about presidents and more, tell me -- war, tell me what happened during the bush administration when the iraq war was goin

s death truman hand wrote the 1st draft just one week after j.f.k. and a bunch of bullets met up in dallas texas anyway clearly even truman the creator of the cia knew the agency had run amok yet the cia is still here it's bigger than ever and now is a whole cavalcade of other intelligence agencies working with it and they just recently put out a report that showed that the intelligence community much of which is not supposed to involve itself with the master of matters is indeed working to stop surveil and attack an assortment of u.s. citizens as glenn greenwald recently wrote in titled domestic violent extremism poses heightened threat in 2021 the march 1st report from the director of national intelligence was written in consultation with the cia the f.b.i. the d. the d.h. s. and a partridge in a pear tree and evil kind of kind of dastardly partridge not a good part of virgin all not. like the kind of partridge that would eat the last pickle and then put the jar back in the fridge so that later your excited for a delicious chris prepared. and there

harry truman put in the fair deal. he proposed three civil rights bills that roosevelt refused to propose. so what i want to do is i've said to joe biden, he's doing a great job. i think that he is putting us to where we need to be. i think if he continues on this course, it will go down in history as great a president at truman. >> thank you for being with you, congressman jim clyburn coming up, republicans are singing the praises of florida governor ron desantis as a kinder, gentler donald trump. i'll tell you why the second verse is just the same as the first. >>> but first, my colleague richard lui with today's top news stories. richard? >> rev, good saturday to you. some of the stories we're watching for you this hour, the united states resuming use of the johnson & johnson vaccine. there was an 11-day pause. the shots now come with an increased risk warning for very rare, but severe blood clots. >>> a spacex calcium docked with the international space station this morning. it had four astronauts from three differ

so truman eventually gets a budget.der food on air force one, the presidential -- when we had a yacht in the kitchen, they would get billed against that account. it's not a free-for-all in terms of food. there is a budget that gets allocated by congress for that. that's another thing that kind of goes to the story. just to give you a little more history than you ever wanted to know, the creation of the white house mess is a reflection of this because after the white house is renovated in the 19 fifties there was more need for staff because of the installation of eric initialing. truman was not going to get any more money from congress to have more resident staff. he called them a do nothing congress and that kind of sticks -- so what he does is he takes the staff off the white house of the presidential yet and makes them the staff of the white house mass which is a private kitchen and dining space for the senior staff in the white house. that's why the navy operations existed to this day for running the white house mass

truman use the end game is saul's pointed out. there's a staff officer who's been delivering daily updates which include casually reports to truman and he says, you know, mr. chairman is perturbed by the reports. he's getting from okinawa and that's very much the case. great. thank you. rich. the next question this seems to be towards rana and maybe rich as well. comes from jack again. you guys got to give jack a run for his money. he's he's getting a lot of air time here. i've seen postwar reports and photos of soviet troops stripping japanese made factories in manchuria. how much did this set china back economically and industrially? sure. should i come in first on that? yes, please. okay, great. so actually this is really something on my mind right now because i can give you an exclusive revelation don't know if anyone cares or not, but i'll give it to you. anyway jeremy which is right. now i'm working actually on a book on the post-war decay 1945 to 55 and i'm reading the diaries of some of the chinese officials you had to dea

this beating and the photo proms president truman to desegregate the military -- prompts president trumano desegregate the military and the federal workforce. edna: it is beyond troubling to hear this kind of story. it is terrifying and impossible to imagine the feeling it must have been to know that for the soldiers, you put your life on the line, you coming back and the idea you feel proud of that service makes people want to kill you for it. to have that patriotism trampled on must have been so profoundly disillusioning, negating the promise the service may have represented as an opportunity. we have a viewer comment and an audience comment from a man named peter. he writes in that even jackie robinson, an officer of the 761st tank battalion, was pulled off a bus for not moving to the back of the bus. while he was enduring a court-martial, his unit was called up to fight for general patton. robinson was acquitted but never got to fight with his legendary unit. these are not isolated incidents. lynn, i would like to return to dr. leon bass. he spent many years not talking about what he

truman came to his funeral. mean, truman just became vice president, came to the funeral of tom pendergast during wartime. anna military plane -- he came on a military plane [laughter] the controversy. and one week later, roosevelt died, and truman was president of the united states. so truman could never completely distanced himself from his background with the machine. and he owned it. i mean, he said that pendergast always kept his word, [laughter] and he was not going to abandon his friend [laughter] and so what we are trying to do, is complicate that history. [laughter] and i have done a little bit of that in this interview. but, we are building a website, that will include -- currently, we have 9,500 original documents, photographs, letters people have written to one another back then, court cases that unbuilt voter fraud and other crimes, and it is in interactive website that will combine this original documents with new scholarship. so we reached out in 2015, 218 professors, or museum professionals or hi

and paris based for trickster the truman burbank is an online sensation with a tongue in cheek take on how to make your playground. on thursday germany's ministry of culture announce the planned return of the binion bronzes from german newseum is in 2022 and most of the artifacts were looted by british forces during a military attack on the kingdom of binion in what is now nigeria back in 8097 and they're now scattered between as many as 160 museums and institutions worldwide well it's a trailblazing move and certainly ramps up the pressure on other european former colonial powers to follow suit. some of africa's most prized treasures for decades demands for their restitution have grown . now cultural and political leaders have agreed to begin returning to artifacts held in german museums by next yeah. i must admit i cannot believe it but there was also a very positive result when everybody agreed to eat steps being grown so used to being in. our has to go back to nigeria so this is really great really great news and a significant change of heart the bronzes were due to be showcased at

i think that truman admired him truman said he knew exactly what he wanted to do. he said what he was going to do and he did it and that made. that made great. hay with with truman he also was very critical of his generals as truman was of douglas macarthur. and so there's that. that's similarity too, but part of pope would have what pope would have been right at home in today's acidic? washington environment political environment, i think that he would have been up. to the needles and the digs and the knives that are wielded and i i think he would have waited right into that environment and been and been right at home. he was a man for his time. there's very little. you can say that he that he left. his administration was sandwiched between the only two wig administrations in our history. and both of those administrations the harrison association and the tailor administration were of course interrupted by the deaths of those two presidents and and so those two week administrations did very little and his administration is sandwiched between those and he did a grea
