truman did so first and foremost. out of the deep conviction, believing that the jewish deserve the right to self-determine nation in their ancestral homeland. he did not do only what he perceived as beneficial, but more importantly, what he perceived be fundamentally right. truman was avid, avid reader of history. once, when he reflected to a jewish audience on his decision to recognize israel, he told them that he was informed, among other things, by his deep impression a child reading the bible with father of king cyrus's decision in the year 538 b.c. to allow the jewish people to return to their homeland from exile in babylon and to rebuild the temple in jerusalem. truman was also well aware of the horrors of the holocaust just a few years earlier. it was not lost on him that the jewish people having just emerged from a systematic effort to exterminate them, were ever more longing, willing to fight for their independence. ultimately, president truman has been proven right rather than his opposing advisors because

truman did so first and foremost. out of the deep conviction, believing that the jewish deserve the right to self-determine nation in their ancestral homeland. he did not do only what he perceived as beneficial, but more importantly, what he perceived be fundamentally right. truman was avid, avid reader of history. once, when he reflected to a jewish audience on his decision to recognize israel, he told them that he was informed, among other things, by his deep impression a child reading the bible with father of king cyrus's decision in the year 538 b.c. to allow the jewish people to return to their homeland from exile in babylon and to rebuild the temple in jerusalem. truman was also well aware of the horrors of the holocaust just a few years earlier. it was not lost on him that the jewish people having just emerged from a systematic effort to exterminate them, were ever more longing, willing to fight for their independence. ultimately, president truman has been proven right rather than his opposing advisors because

and then in 1996 at the truman library, a man who was an aide to truman was interviewed by a historiannd was asked about the eisenhower marshall letters and he said he saw them. as soon as marshall received the letter, he called me and he said, you make me an appointment with president truman immediately and i want to sit in -- i want you to sit in as a witness. marshall said essentially what harry truman supposedly said. i believe it all happens, what happened to the letters, god only knows. allegedly truman sent them off to marshall saying these belong in private files, not in pentagon files where they can be used in dirty politics. if marshall sent them, likely he destroyed them, or not. but might surface decades later. it is an interesting story. now i could be wrong, but i don't think so. i am not saying i can prove it, i just think it because of the sheer weight of evidence. the whole thing makes perfect sense from the standpoint of ike's emotional development, and the light it shed upon the very strange behavior of eisenhower between the war and his presidency, if we presume she

and at a critical moment when truman is on time. weitzman is desperate to meet with truman because marshall wants to undo the partition plan. it's eddie jacobson gets him in the door. someone came from missouri, a -- once said to me something like, you know, if eddie jacobson had treated truman badly in that haberdasher business, there might not be a state official today. and of course the story is both a story of individual actors who seize the moment that providence is placed for them. but it is of a story of providence as well. the two of them are together in world war one. fdr is on his plane, is on a train to. the 1944, a democratic convention, and he says, you know, they ask him who do you want to be your vice president? and he says i don't know. you know, maybe douglas maybe truman and at least according to one version of events cited by mccullough, the head of the democratic national committee, has that written up and tells the secretary to switch truman and douglas and put truman first so that that letter will be handed out

maybe douglas, may be truman. had to find a call ahead of the national committeeru to switch t douglas and truman. how can you not believe in providence. and, so, you are aware of moment that may define your entire legacy. iew attempt to find it throughot jewish history. >> thank you. i was thinking when you are discussing the different figures and i will dive more deep into some of them in a second. i was thinking when i wrote my book about jewish commandos, when ipl started the journey, i carried very deeply. they were incredibly heroic and interesting. over the year or two it took to write the book, there were some that i was just so fond of. they felt like they were part of my family and have an impact on me living with them thinking about them, writing about them for a year. where there any particular figures that you thought would become part of you, part of your family. feeling a very deep unexpected connection and why? >> when i first wrote the book originally i knew. my friends thing that is what my next

harry truman is behind you. and a mural on the wall. was it his idea to incorporate the cia or was that bill donovan? the idea donovan had always been pushing for a peacetime intelligence organization at the end of world war two. so many wartime organizations just were dissolved because everyone wanted to come home. but truman realized that he was going to need a peacetime intelligence organization to take on the soviet union. so within a couple of years, all those elements of the ss are brought back together in the central intelligence agency. one of the things that truman wanted was a newspaper that would give him information he couldn't get anywhere else. so starting with the daily summary, which is a collection of all the different cables from state department and other places coming together for him, that will evolve into the president's daily brief, something that every morning is delivered not only to the president of the united states, but to our top policymakers to help them inform them on on information they literally can't ge

the federal government was a whole lot bigger than it was in harry truman's day. it was a really risky thing to do. ford said, i would like to do that. so they got like 500 people in the state department auditorium. ford gets up and says, it will be different this year. he gave a little talk. 56 questions, all of which he was able to answer. he didn't need help from any of the experts behind him. the problem is, it is one reason why he looks better and better in retrospect than he did at the time. he wasn't eloquent. he wasn't witty. he knew government inside and out. susan: so, i want to get one thing out of the way. that is the connection between gerald ford's partner, richard nixon, his concerns about the special prosecutor putting him on trial, and what the country is going through today with donald trump? richard: it is a fair question. i -- the hindsight that implicitly blames ford for the wrongdoing of subsequent presidents. i want to put that aside for the moment. it is fascinating to me -- one thing that will surprise people is the relationship between th

hayden: and there was distrust of fdr and truman. she was vocal about it. brinkley: very vocal, but she worked with the federal project -- writers project, but she did not find that to be a solution on dealing with race relations where the federal government would allocate money or do something, it seemed to her, in her book or her novel that was chosen, she does characters, fictional characters, one representing booker t. washington up from slavery, some people called it accommodating on how to work with white america. and w.e.b. dubois, who wrote the souls of black people, and booker t. washington, up from slavery, any of those could have been picked as a top 10. but she does very cleverly in that the present both sides of the black community that she is writing about that they are arguing within black society about these issues, which is the answer to -- do you do a personal institute -- teske institute like, where black people and why people don't need to integrate, we have our own culture and morays and we develop that, or do you do it like the naacp.

this truman library institute event is about 40 minutes. >> okay, good morning. thank you all for being here. i'm going to keep it super short so that we can get to the conversation. of so just a few things. one, i am thrilled to be part of this event and to recognize the courage of president truman to sign executive order 9981. an order, frankly, that is the only reason i can take this stage today as a retired navy guy. but even more importantly, it's the personal growth, truman's personal growth over his lifetime. i've worked in the world of political science, and we're talking lots about hyperpartisanship and polarization and how people are dug in on their positions. truman had the opportunity to do that, and he chose the more difficult, more american path of growing. and, yes, the work continues. this order was signed in 1948. if you tried to be, if you wanted to be an officer9 in the navy, very difficult even after the order was signed. when i went on my first deployment in 199, it was an all all-male ship, no women allowed. my second deployment women were o

i think i'm a truman scholar. and so when he said he wanted both of them to to kill each other, if at all possible. but in the end, during world war two, you'd have to go with stalin in order to make sure that hitler didn't prevail. that right there is a description, a deal with the devil and it accords very much with what churchill said a couple of different times, famously. but what makes it worse now in some ways, because we know more history now than the statesmen at the time who could only do what they could do is as history unfolded for them and with the facts that they knew on the ground at the time, and they did very well, i think overall is that knows he wants a world war in order to expand so a lot of what he in the 1930s is actually encouraging and setting up a world war. so it is a deal with the devil, but it's it's one that many on the allied side in world war two, they didn't know how much he had done before it. and so here, the museum, we're very focused on making sure that that visitors understand

in 1947, truman's quip touches on one subject that we will discuss today with our panelists. presidents in newsreels in real life are very different from the presidents portrayed on television and in film. these cultural mediums reach and educate countless americans, people around the world. but the office of the presidency, this inevitably leads to the questions of accuracy, authentic city, as well as how defined should these boundaries be between history and entertainment? joining us for this conversation today, we have lilly goren, professor of political science and global studies at carroll university. gloria reuben acclaimed actress, author and tammy haddon of adapt media. so to get us started, you can read more about these exceptional individuals in our program. we have the full bios, but i did want to start by having them each talk a little bit about their backgrounds, their expertise and and the perspectives that they're going to bring today. so why don't we start and we'll just move down the line, okay? i'm i'm lilly goren and i teach political science and political

these are the only meant -- names that he mentioned, truman and douglas.p until the last day of the convention, douglas was the leading candidate, and douglas had people at the democratic convention in chicago working very hard with the party buses and -- bosses and party faithful at the convention to get the nomination for douglas. douglas himself was not there, but he came very very close to getting that vice presidential nomination and there is on -- a lot that suggested fdr wanted him to do it, but as a wily politician, he was keeping all of the constituencies in the party in play and up for grabs and ultimately they settled on truman. to me, i have to say, it is an illustration of an excessive closeness between hss and the president who appointed him. douglas did not take himself out of the running. they were people there acting on his behalf, and we have had times in our history when justices actually work active in various kinds of political campaigns. but there was a chief justice in the 19th century who, when he was being suggested to be the repub

truman cited with union workers and he angered everyone when he took over the steel mills.nd, teddy roosevelt invited leaders to the white house during the cold strike. the union was a dirty word. grover cleveland sent the military to shut down a railroad strike. reagan fired 1000 air traffic controllers and tim scott says he admires. fast forward to 2024 and the two front runners in that race are using the current autoworker strike to flex their union muscle. one day after president joe biden made his visit unions are popular. two thirds of americans say they approve of them. three-quarter side with the uaw workers in the strike against the big car companies and approval of unions just in general has risen in the past 15 years. here is the interesting part, biden carried voters from union households over trump by 16%. that is a wider margin than hillary clinton held over trump in 16. here he was just moments ago. >> instead of economic nationalism, you have left-wing globalism. the workers of america are getting, to put it nicely, screwed. >> union leaders are skeptical of

the birth of israel truman. and the birth of israel.celebrate in commemorating the 75th anniversary of president truman's decision to recognize israel. and i'd like to have cantor, hasan, tal ben-yehuda join me on the stage. she'll be singing the national anthems of israel and the united states of america america. you know what to do. please join me. oh, say, can you see me by the door concert? live? all right. what's so proudly

so, again, not truman replacing macarthur, but still a pretty big deal.question, ukraine saying today it will be deploying f—16 against russia next spring in a defensive role. if that gives us an indication of how prepared they are to go on, will the support from us remain at the level at that next juncture, next spring? well, for sure. ukraine believes they will continue this war until they have crimea back. from their point of view, of course they would say this. for a ukraine supplemental package. logically, it is the right thing to do. i think there are enough votes when you count both sides of the aisle, but probably speaker mccarthy, the house republican leader, is going to need the house democratic leader to get him across the finish line and there are signals thatjeffries may not be interested in that. let's hope that is wrong, let's hope the two of them can work together and it will pass the senate. the president will sign it as soon it is approved. thank you as always for your insights. thank you, helena. taiwan is being battered by its biggest

he's already, which e eisenhower truman, kennedy, reagan, johnson, nixon.so he'd'. why would i even respect you at this point? so this was a comic book artist and who were talking about the how new and how naive president obama would be when first started in the at the white house. dc comics actually does the same thing where they depict president in office trying to figure out how a u.s. president would actually respond to the first muslim to serve a green lantern. so you see how these comic book writers and artists are trying to use the white house and the presidency to deal with modern problems not just fictional problems, modern problems. and we move to president trump. so with president trump he also in several different comic books and severalifferent ways you see him from some artists being depicted as a superhero we see here the giant sized super team up this probably meant to more satiric cool than anything else becau partners actualdimir putin so this is this is president obama president and vladimir p depicted as a superhero team you actually have a nonfi

we get to truman who gave us the white house. we more know and love today and he's remodeled it. her block the washgton post cartoonist us that he's remodeled it but he can't quite fulfill his promise as president because nobody will run with in his first campaign. lyndon baines johnson larger than life. everhi's coming up. ses is as it gets to pass legislation and settle issues it's it's almost like a honeymoon between him and herb block and we have a great her block editor a cartoon collection of more than 14,000 drawings at the library, in part because mr. got tired of johnson asking for every cartoon that depicted him and just said they're not available. and we have pretty much every cartoon he drew after the day after. the johnson administration cell facade. the tapes are discovered at 19. the existence of ths are discovered in 19d edwards saw who's our editor of the new yorkimes depicts smashing into the white house little prema ticks another ymmy carter am gotc you know he kind we ill think of him as a peanut farmer not the executive he was. but this is certainly an image

the 1950s us president harry truman signed a secret plan to attack the us as on the americans when going to the can, i will because the world would undoubtedly condemn them for it. however, a so called peace making operation, which ukraine would rise up with the u. k. i taking up arms with a different story to gave its trying to convince the americans that it was still possible to separate ukraine from the us a song at the c. i is, but here's, he did his best to rock the boat as hard as possible. the notion of this run a milk throughout the ukrainian s. as on the 9th, it takes a real nightmare for the civilian population. you will be, what is the best way to do this because it is go a 0 score and this way of research on it besides the dental and vision with dental is to be honest with you. probably. yeah. cuz you asked him, did you meet them? the brochure? yes. okay, cool. so throw in just show fayetteville us to do the benefit of that, but it kind of show you what it is you've you vision you to you. they're pretty good to show it personally. and i showed us the ripple and she'll give it

a quick look now ad truman football, harry kane, scored a hat trick for bind, munich in there. 7 mill demolition of both of them came rounded off the scoring in the 8th minute knocking in irons 7th with a dest finish. its also his 7th goal in just 5 league games were his new club, the england striker, and made sure he left with the match bull, the traditional reward for hattrick buyer. now return to the top of the bonus lincoln. let's take a look at all the bonus. legal results so far and matched a 5 brim, and it came from behind to beat cologne. and there are those of huffman heim and buyer and wins. dockman. be volts. virg leipzig defeated grandma alex burg down mines. stuttgart, be done, shot on sunday level clothes in lock horns with hiding time and frank for face fiber. we will end it there, but to stay with us. shift is next. if you don't know who v tubers are your about to find out they are virtual superstars. there's more of course on d, w dot com and you follow us on social media around candle is active. the news. i'm like, look who really appreciate your company and bye for

i'm biden administration was the first one since the truman. everyone since the truman after the war there's federally required lease sales to allow u.s. companies to produce minerals, oil and gas on federal lands. the federal lands do not belong to the party that is in charge i they do not blow into the bureaucrats they belong to the american people. the unit roosevelt would await land for the benefit of the use of the american people back to our balance sheet so we can use. even obama, as much as he was anti- u.s. energy, heat followed the law it's amazing, for his whole time. biden has never held a quarterly lease sale. an 84 page ruling. i know they are appealing a ruling for a federal judge said you need to follow the law and they're like no, no, no here's the reasons why we may not need to follow the law. i got someone sitting they need to issue more permits. they were a hangover from lease sales done with the prior administration. it wasn't because of anything that by demonstration is done. it's driving me crazy we have to have a program

for true list. truman street the this is the domain is africa coming up on the program. how come ask a fund, a climate positive future as african leaders pledge action on the climate crisis and call for global support? we ask if the plan will propel the continent towards the green goals. also coming up, even though kenya gets nearly all its energy from renewable sources, to find out why it's still swollen short of meeting the demand. as an attempt to make nairobi more livable, we visit a project working to make the city green to even take.
