here at the truman library. matthew is an associate producer for national public radio, and he has reported from four continents from four npr news and other outlets. he is the of six other books, including one of my favorites, harry truman's adventure the true story, a great american road trip, which was named one of the best books of 2009 by the washington post. in addition to reporting and writing, matthew has held jobs as a convenience store clerk. gas station attendant, halloween costume salesman and a hot dog vendor in a traveling circus. even he's a vegetarian. he holds a degree folklore from the university of pennsylvania. in his bio, he modestly says, i'm an award winning journalist and author, but so is practically every other journalist and author author. please join me in welcoming matthew algeo. thank you. kelly. so all good bits were there. took most my shtick. make. i'm actually going to take this out for a little bit. i really need to thank kelly azalea. kurt at the truman library. not just for t

and by the time the truman many of the people around truman were no longer here. so oftentimes in these presidencies think you'll all agree, you know, the young person in the entourage is just suddenly the official spokesman person for an administration of which he or she may have not been a central player at the time. and george elsey was a very modest, modest person. he told me the story that when truman was reviewing and making plans for his military and official funeral, he said, looks like it's going to be a great show. i won't be around to see it. yeah. he also made a comment, him wanting to be buried. so if he wanted to go to his office, he could just get up and walk. right? so he had a sense of humor and indeed he's buried, what, 40, 40 feet away from those presidential order. but pretty one had a similar comment when he was asked because, of course, he had a long time to sort of plan this process out. and apparently they would have these meetings ready early and they would bring out this book and and he would make jokes all the make jokes all the time. i

president truman accompanied him there by train. cartoons of course who were going to miss out on that. here are the campaign trains. this is a good opportunity, bob to talk about what is a whistle stop and truman whistle stop campaign. >> the whistle stop referred to some place, city, some town that the train would come in and blow the whistle to tell the public the president is here. you'd see a crowd it's amazing how many people you'd find in even a small town on the president of the united states was coming through. but anyway that was. phrase came from fact it would blow the whistle really loud really low to let the people know the president was coming to town. >> this is actually, this is a very, very famous photo the paper was prematurely published he did not in fact defeat truman. the reason i included it he is on the rear platform of the magellan holding that paper up and of course he's got a gigantic smile on his face because he just won the election as president. >> in the late evening of november 2 show that paper in the

he was trying to impress truman. got that wrong a lot. i mean, oppenheimer was very charming to a lot of people, but he was often not charming to leaders and people who had power over him. wellerstein: truman didn't believe that anybody's responsibility was greater than his. truman was just, "get that guy out of my office. i was the one who made the decision." bird: he ends the meeting very abruptly and later tells his aides that, "i don't want to see that crybaby scientist ever again."

there wasn't a single reporter traveling with the truman campaign who expected president truman to wine. but in the end, harry truman won running against the do- nothing congress. joining us now is democratic congressman eric swalwell of california. he's a member of the house judiciary committee in the house homeland security committee. he also served as an impeachment manager in the second impeachment trial of donald trump. thank you very much for joining us, congressman swalwell. it is so fascinating to see that donald trump in the speaker of the house saying absolutely night we must not under any circumstances let legislation go through the congress that will strengthen the southern border, increase spending on border security at the southern border, and give the president the actual authority to close it down. republicans now stand opposed to that. >> lawrence, that's exactly right, and when it comes to the border, republicans will admire the problem, they'll weaponize the problem, they'll politicize the problem, and they're completely unwilling to solve the problem. right now you

just tell me why, truman.om holland are as truman capote. >> demi: who is a revelation this. >> stephen: he's extrao extraordinary. it's a murderer's row of actresses. dijessica laying, diane lane, chloe savini. incredible women. was it a fun experience with these other women? >> demi: it was an incredible company to be in. it felt like just elevating to be working with such incredibly talented actors. gus van zandt directed it. robbie bates wrote it. ryan murphy. it couldn't have been a better thing to have said yes to. >> stephen: this isn't the only group of fantastic actors you've been associated with because you of course were a member of a was called the rat pack back in the 80s. kind of defined a lot of the movies of the 1980s. extraordinary group of actors. so many of them still with us. there's going to be a documentary about that. what do you think of when you look back at those years when you're first starting out kind of lumped together as a unit? >> demi: i mean, at that time there weren't really

and harry truman and lots of people scratch their heads and wondered why harry truman? well, it turns out they had one in common. they were both plainspoken midwesterners. harry truman always said his days in the senate were the happiest days of his wife. he loved capitol hill, i think, more than he did the presidency. this was 20 years before david mccullough. so that's right. when harry truman was still very much out of fashion. they were both what i would call charismatic. he challenged. which is to say they they very rarely electrified an audience with their rhetorical brilliance. but guess what? it didn't matter because they had character, they had decency and although each of them was quite capable of being partizan after all, ford had been republican leader in the house. the fact is that ultimately they looked upon the other side as not enemies. and in ford's case that went back to what his mother taught him, that there's good in everyone. and you've got to, you know, i only heard gerald ford ever say anything negative about to people. one was john dean and the o

true and truman, truman capote is our great protector and our best friend. >> we tell him everything. >> that is, until writer truman capote dished out their dark, dirty secrets in a piece prematurely published in esquire . these women, capote's inner circle were manhattan socialites he called swans. why would you want to hurt this is what a writer does. >> jon robin bates gets to capture this slice of salacious past as executive producer and writer of feud, capote versus the swans. these characters are so layered and juicy, it must have been kind of thrilling and knowing that there are real people. >> it's like pastry. there's just like another layer of pain, and then there's some filling, and then there's another layer of pain, and they just are endlessly fascinating. >> his portrait of us is everywhere. >> that's, you know what betrayal looks like. it must have been endlessly wounding to be those women exposed that way. >> bates played historian of sorts. >> as someone who knew. truman told me that he was the only person he'd ever met who deliberately lied simply to hurt people. th

that said i will go with number 4, harry truman. stuart: lou? lou:i will go harry truman as well. we when i guarantee it is not lyndon johnson because that is lyndon baines johnson but i'm going with ulysses s grant. reveal please. harry s truman. he's got it right again. do you look it up? >> i don't look it up. it's not allowed. i don't. ashley is the one that gets it right. stuart: the us didn't stand for any name but was a compromise between the names of his grandfather, truman and solomon. out of time, coast-to-coast starts now. neil: we are focused on nvidia, the nasdaq. in the case of nvidia about hundred points, good for a 13% gain, lifting anything check with including all the magnificent seven, not all of them doing what they are doing but many putting a confirmation that ai is not just a passing fad. they are there making a ton of money on it and the hope seems to be they will continue doing so. it in the eye of the beholder whether this is actually the case anyway. susan is falling all of this including spillover for other tech names with the exception it seems of tesl

>> i think it was a huge piece of theater for truman.say you had fun there? >> i was overwhelmed. i had to be focused. pay attention here. >> reporter: do you still have the mask? >> no. i had to return the mask. >> if you were rich enough or social or beautiful knuffle, you wo enough you would have been here yourself. as somebody said unkindly, if we were rich enough or social or beautiful enough, we wouldnt be standing out here in the halls. charles kuralt, cbs news, new york. okay.

how about harry truman in 1948. thomas e.dewey up by 5 points. harry truman won the popular vote by 4 percentage points. he won easily. he held up that newspaper saying dewey had won and truman had won. that was on election eve. this is significantly smaller than 5 points. there's a lot of things that can change and a lot of things that could change as we get close to the election, laura. >> don't count anything out right now. what is one thing that might be able to change this election? >> what's one thing? we've spoken about it. we spoke about it last night. this is biden verse trump in the polls. donald trump's up by 2 points. of course, he faces four criminal indictments. if trump is convicted, these same polls and facts show that biden would lead in the polls by 4 points. this is something that is unprecedented, laura. we've never seen a potential nominee be under four criminal indictments. let's wait and see what happens. the fact is trump leads right now. with 269 days to go there's a lot, a lot that can change. >> certainly is. thank you

but by 1949, truman had appointed four justices, almost half the court.so world war two really corresponds the time of the roosevelt court. but some of the roosevelt justices, of course, including black and douglas, you know, served for a considerable period of time. but there was a sort of very great turnover, very quickly, the legacy of the court. on the other hand, in my view was very long and all, you know, the areas we were talking about where the supreme court recognized protected constitutional rights in self conscious contrast to our enemies those became very cornerstones of the supreme court's jurisprudence for many decades so just as examples skinner versus oklahoma, the compulsory sterilizing law. it was the first time the supreme court recognized a fundamental liberty interest in the decision about whether to a child or not. and it became a very influential opinion. it is cited in versus wade and other reproductive cases. and of course now we have dobbs and the dissent turns in dobbs and dobbs decision that overruled roe versus wade. the disse

he likened himself to truman, that truman would have been chilled in making a decision to end world war ii to end the atomic bomb, they rejected those arguments and rejected handily the argument he could only be first impeached and convicted by the u.s. senate. so for each one of these arguments, it is a bench slapper. it is just filled with very, i think, in my opinion persuasive legal conclusions rejecting those arguments. it's also something that that because as you indicated at the top of the hour it's unanimous precurium decision meaning no one judge's name is on it with all the judges joining, they agreed to everything to that decision, it shows unity. remember this is a panel that had judges appointed by both republican presidents and democrat presidents, and it actually does give the supreme court the opportunity if they so choose to decide they aren't going to stay the mandate, they aren't going to accept cert. if five of those judges don't want to stay the mandate, the mandate will not be stayed. it only takes four to grant cert, but i think this decision whether they will gra

you can watch harry truman or listen to harry truman's 1947 speech about communist domination of the world. this is the speech of the truman doctrine and talked about needing aid for greece and turkey. and you can say that socialism that truman knew it would be someone in the so-called developing third world, it would appeal to people of third world and u.s. had something to do about pit so inflating the threat of communism, looking back on it again. the benefit of hindsight. at the time their people post 9/11 who were inflating the threat to our country of islamic terrorism. and preemptive invasions is not the right way to go about doing this. that wasn't so much fear neededa wa my view, it was a well-founded fear of another terrorist attack. whether that fear needed to gravitate into a war against iraq, is a different question. in retrospect, if you assess the perspective benefits against the perspective cost or liability, you would decide not to go to war in iraq. the fact that people were preoccupied with fear was a legitimate apprehension at the time. in terms of continuities of

i kind of wanted to know what your feelings were about truman.s faced with probably the most heavy-weighted decision of any president so far, and may be way down the line from here. you know, he always said, the buck stops here, but he had a decision to make with the atomic bomb. you know, whether to end the second world war and save lives. and as most historians say, you know, by dropping that bomb it actually saved the invasion of japan. if i may, could i suggest to mimi, maybe she could have a name in front of her on the screen for each one of the hosts. host: all right. what do you think about truman? guest: it is a great question. truman is one of those figures that has received more attention in the last couple of decades. the caller noted that incredibly difficult position truman found himself in. he was not vice president for very long. he was not close to fdr. he famously did not know the atomic bomb existed until most of week into his presidency, because he had not been read into that top-secret information. which is crazy imagining com

what immediately came to mind was president harry truman's firing of general douglas macarthur during the korean war. truman and macarthur had disagreements over strategy. the president is the commander in chief and he disagreed with his field commander on strategy, he had the authority to replace him and he did. macarthur was fired and replaced, even though the war in korea continued, i can't remember how many generals were replaced during the war in iraq and afghanistan, but quite a lot, sometimes it's just because of differences in policy and strategy, sometimes it's because of work failures, but it happens. thank you for the interview. it was an interview with retired us army colonel robert hamilton. read more about the reactions of western commentators to valery zaluzhny's resignation on our website voice of america in ukrainian. at the very end , a story about ukrainian bloggers in america. for some, a blog is a full-time job that helps support a family. someone creates content to support. ukraine and shame those who have not yet switched to ukrainian. ivanna pidborska knows how

you can watch harry truman or listen to harry truman's 1947 speech about communist domination of the world. this is the speech. the truman doctrine is enunciated and he talks about needing aid for greece and turkey. you could also read truman's speech as an admission he knew that socialism was going to be something that people in the so-called developing or third world, it would appeal to people in the third world. and the u.s. had something to do about it. so inflating the threat, communism, looking on it again with the of hindsight, but even at the time were people post-9-11 who said we're inflating the threat to our country of islamic terrorism and that, you know, preemptive invasions is not the right way to go about doing this. that wasn't so much a question as a word salad. but, you know, take that on, if you don't mind. well, there there was tremendous fear of another attack after 11. and in my view it was a well-founded fear of another terrorist attack, whether that fear needed to gravitate into a war against is a different question. and i think retrospect, if you assess the p

he's rurrected by harry truman to feed the world again. this time after world war ii. the world gets to remember him as a great businessman, an executive, because both harry truman and dwight eisenhower bring him in to reorganize the executive branch of government through not one, but two hoover commissions, and then his final act as a kind of statesman, and man of service is in 1960, joe kennedy, john f kennedy's father asked him to bring jfk, and the defeated richard nixon together to show national unity. and what people don't realize about hoover is, he does recover his name in his lifetime. it just gets tarnished again, posthumously. - you know, it has been 90 years since herbert hoover left office, but recently, former president trump, and president biden have traded barbs invoking herbert hoover as a synonym for economic hard times. look at this. - when there's a crash, i hope it's gonna be during this next 12 months, because i don't wanna be herbert hoover. the one president, i just don't want to be herbert hoover. - he's already herbert hoover. he's the only pr

he would like himself to truman, and truman would have been shield and thinking a decision to end world war ii with the apollo bomb, that he would be to shield to do that. they rejected those arguments. they rejected handily the argument that he can only be prosecuted criminally, if he were first impeached and convicted by the u.s. senate, which they rejected. for each one of the arguments, it is a bench slapper. it is filled with in my opinion persuasive legal conclusions rejecting the arguments. it's also something that as you indicated at the top of the hour, it was a unanimous decision, meaning no one judges name is on it with the other judges joining. they all agreed to everything in that decision. it is something that shows unity. remember, this is a panel that had judges appointed by both republican presidents and democrat presidents. it also does give the supreme court the opportunity, if they so choose, if you decide that they aren't going tuesday demanding, they are not going to accept it five of the judges don't want to stand the mandate, the mandate will not be state. it als

>> yes, i think he needs to be harry truman. i mean, invoking beau biden seemed beyond the pale. it's uncomfortable the report. he has to be there fighting joe biden. in 1948, nobody thought harry truman could win. he had defections in the democratic party, left on race, henry wallace, left for a progressive, yet a pro russia party with eleanor roosevelt, but truman came up with his own idea, went 15 days on a train to california and said i'm doing it for the people. he didn't have to give press interviews. just seeing the vis taj of them, and did it in the midwest. joe biden might want to do that with a bus, a train, find a way to let people feel you, be there, without being as the governor suggested in that rose garden or bunker. >> you know, i was thinking about this as i read this new abc poll, which mirrors what our nbc poll says, doug, that they think 86% biden is too old to serve another term. a lot of people thought that about ronald reagan, and in 1984, he had one of the most memorable lines in presidential debate histo

the truman youngstown case discusses. sometimes it's high like going to war.very low like without any other support from congress or any other part of government just trying to take, in that case, what was basically private property. the judges say trump lacked the lawful discretionary authority to defy criminal law. including president trump have not believed themselves to be wholly aligned from criminal responsibility. that was a very respectful way to put it. what they're referring to is, hey, you guys, the trump lawyers are full of it. you guys and gals, the trump lawyers, recently said trump could be tried and prosecuted once he left office. you are -- they didn't say it this way. you, the trump lawyers are lying. you're lying about the state of the law and lying about your own positions. we will say when we use those words that are that strong, we'll show you exactly the evidence because look at the history of, say, andrew johnson, richard nixon, bill clinton, donald trump. they all faced a type of impeachment. no one was ever convicted. the judges point

how about harry truman in 1948. thomas dewey up by five points and harry truman won the popular vote and won easily. he held up the newspaper the chicago tribune saying that dewey had won the election. that whole deficit that biden faces at this point is significantly smaller. there's a lot of things that can change him a lot of things that could change as we get closer to the election. >> what is one thing that might be able to change this election? >> we have spoken about it. this is biden versus trump. donald trump is up by two points. of course, he faces four criminal indictments. if he is convicted biden would lead by four points. this is something that is unprecedented. we've never seen a potential nominee under four criminal indictments. the fact is that trump leads right now but with 269 days to go there is a lot that can change. >> thank you so much. i'm going to go home and watch old episodes. we don't have a lot of time but let's bring back michael and lindsay. we have 269 days. >> i think we are going to
