the year before the king had come to the united states and was the first saudi king to ever visit the united states. 's visit was planned for nine days it lasted 12. the king had indicated he would bring 80 people with him he brought almost 200 there were so many studies in the delegation they could not all fit in blair house they literally set up tents to house the rest of the saudi delegation. so we'd like to say he was wined and dined but he was given great profile by the eisenhower administration. the failure of his plot to assassinate nasser resulted in a severe throwback in the saudi royal family within a matter of days stripped the king of all his power and gave it to the crown prince faisal he stayed in power as king but was powerless after that. faisal was much less favorable to the united states. so that was one big setback. shortly afterwards the lebanese civil war began and that was another setback to america the lebanese president was one of the few arab leaders who publicly divorced the eisenhower declaration but in jordan the cia uncovered a plot to overthrow king hussein who was in his

but on board his battleship coming back to the united states,'s military assistant, general watson, actually dies of a heart attack during the voyage. the point is, the president is not merely sick, he is dying, unable to stand, even on his metal stilts when reporting to congress. beyond his patriotic sense of duty as commander-in-chief of the u.s. armed forces, one thing perhaps more than any other has kept him alive since his doctors gave him their sentence of death 12 months before. for in the very week that they diagnosed his fatal malady, the love of fdr's life, lucy read afford, has become a widow -- lucy readrutherford, has become a widow, and she inspires him to go on at least two hitler's end. he takes the train and works on his you and speech. there he is, leaving admiral leahy, his white house chief of staff, in washington, to mind the military store. he is joined in warm springs by lucy rutherford, and her friend, the watercolor portraitist, his longtime hyde park neighbor daisy sutley is also in the room, and his personal secretary, bill hastert, when the end comes. do we have t

this is about the president of the united states. sd inspiration is a really good way to put it. jared, you want to talk about reopening the country. we've got tower our economy going again. we saw federal government put out guidelines. one said 14 days of declining corona cases before reopening. not one single state that is reopening has followed those federal guidelines. that does that tell but the real leadership coming from washington? >> look, stephanie, i think that's a great question. i think what we face right now is a simple challenge of coordination between leadership at the federal level and leadership at the local level. jon talked about inspiration, i think one of the most valuable ways that a president can inspire is by bringing the parties together. i'm reminded of theodore roosevelt and how he used the bully pulpit, but he had another tactic. in 1902 when the an that site coal strike threatened to bring economic devastation to the country, roosevelt knew he didn't have the legal authority to intervene between operators

now, if the patterns that we see and have witnessed around the world hold in the united united states,s, a new corona cases will sharply arises partially because we are doing more testing than anybody else. remember there are people asymptomatic so people will not even know they have this virus. the death toll will lag behind, but is dr. fauci and others said today, will see a sharp increase before we see the virus level off and ultimately what we all want, to decreaseo and get back to the lives we want to live. the white house now predicting it's possible between 100,000 and 200,000 deaths in the u.s. but it could have been 2.2 million. very interesting charts. let us hope for the best-case scenario. take a look. >> dr. fauci, should americans be prepared for the likelihood that there will be 100,000 americans who die from this virus? >> the answer is yes. as sobering a number as that is, we should be prepared for it. is it going to bee that much? i hope not, and i think the more we push on the mitigation, the less likelihood it would be that number. but as being realistic, we need to

it's something that, again, you're kind of not-- we're just not accustomed to this in the united states. s're used ing that perhaps in resource-poor regions or regions that have been devastated from natural disasters or work conflicter areas, butinly not here in our own country. >> brangham: are there lessonse that youarned from doing humanitarian work of this sort in other nations, that are applicable here? >> absolutely. we've done this both in disaster response, and infectious disease outbreak from ebola to cholera. we know how to set up quickly. we know how to bring in the people that are accu to dealing withrauma verydl ra and we know and we have support from wonderful partner organizations that allow us to do what we do and bring in the relief where is needed most. >> brangham: you're obviously there to help backstop the n ontline health care workers that are workingese hospitals, and provide relief and sort of rotate in when they need it. how are those people doing, from your experience? >> so, i'll tell you from both perspectives. we've-- we've done a number of things here. we've b

it's important to see the person that is speaking on behalf of the executive branch in the united states of s government, speaking on behalf of the president coming out and taking questions every day from all comers. i think it's important for us to fall in terms of the newsgathering even though admittedly the information isn't that visceral, some is more useful than others. but i think it's important symbolically. it sends a message to the country and to the world that the most powerful person in our government is accountable. anyway we don't have a question period like the british minister in parliament. but the society speaking on behalf of the executive branch who has to sit there and take questions which some of them are quite uncomfortable from a group of reporters. but you make another point which is the process of preparing for that briefing that helps clarify policy making and i think that's an interesting point, to back. >> host: the preparation requires you to go around the government and talk to the officials in the white house ticket clear information because you know you are goi

yeah i mean you know there was a enormous rise in organized working class power in the united states in the 1930 s. many of the most gifted organizers in the steelworkers union in the auto workers union and in the coal unions were communist party members who went into the unions and who in the case of louis were recruited by those who are organized and written out of american history down while louis said somebody said to louis you know what are you doing bring all these communists into your union and he said who gets the the who gets the bird the 100 the dog you know he felt he could control them and indeed when they served his purposes he he purged them but that happened on a much wider scale because of taft hartly and let's explain because it's a very pivotal moment in american labor history explain what taft hartly was was the the not the 1st but one of the 1st assaults against roosevelt's new deal that's right the 1st was actually shutting down the federal theater project under the dyes commission before the war talk about the importance of taft hartley and then what happened to the union wel

by the way, when the 1890's start, the united states has, depending on how you count, the united statesas something like the 13th largest navy in the world, which means there are 12 above also. i will spot you the first five. but then i am going to bet you would have trouble thinking about who else. pigger ean navy was than ours -- was bigger than ours. so far, so good. you get this fleet built up in the 90's that can project power, that can project power to do things like keep china the state ure that department in treaties to other country have a little muscle behind them. so far so good? ok, look, shift gears. this guy, frederick jackson turner. frederick jackson turner is a historian, a historic historian. he taught i think at the university of wisconsin but i am not 100% sure. i think so. he was an american historian. he looked over big trends. by the way, remember darwin? remember the immy occasions behind the way darwin looked at the world? the big, long story that unfolds. turner is going to be doctor all of this stuff sort of fits in with car winism. all these people think like

, but after washington, jefferson is the most influential figure in the united states in his lifetime other than washington. 1740's, until the 1820's. second, virginia is the largest, richest, most powerful state in the union of that time. it has the largest population, it has more wealth. just about all the presidents, except for john adams, come from virginia and it has the largest congressional delegation. virginians assume they're going to be the leading element in the country and turns out they're right. now when it starts to shift in the 18 teens, they become very upset and that plays into why they establish the university of virginia when they do. virginia is also home in 1790 to half of the enslaved people in the country lives in the one state of virginia. 40% of the population of virginia is held in slavery. it is a system then that isn't marginal to the state of virginia, but it is central to everything, central to the economy. central to the society. central to the culture. it affects every dimension of life in virginia, including what is possible in terms of educational reform. now jefferson's a key pe

palestinian authority yes that's right but in america he operated completely freely the united states was in the 1980 s. perhaps the world's most hospitable recruiting ground for g. hardy's and that's because. the u.s. government basically didn't care about people going around recruiting and mobilizing for the afghan jihad because they were supporting the same effort they were on the same side as it where we have to bear in mind of course also that at this point in time nobody you know realized or had really had reason to do to see what was coming there had been no sunni islamist terrorist attacks in the west until that point and nobody kind of. had an inkling that you know foreign fighters these sort of war volunteers might one day become become a problem and this inspiration for rose i'm a big large he he hated moscow he hated che guevara views that align themselves with reagan's foreign policy say in nicaragua or in el salvador abdullah azzam like many other islamists at the time and before that or in the in the sixty's and seventy's and eighty's they were very hostile to communism or even all forms

countries where by law they have to provide twenty days and that's a lot more than the united states in fact the u. s. is the only industrialized nation where by law employers don't have to get paid holiday to their employees and what's funny is here in france some foreigners say that they almost have too much time off they don't know what to do with all these closely pay yet but trust me you do get used to it. as for friend people they have their ancestors. thank you very generous system. hey vacation days lee quincy bay he was voted into law in june nineteen thirty six by a coalition of left wing parties called listed with you guys. at the time employees were granted two weeks off. it was a victory for the working class a cultural revolution and marked the beginning of mass tourism. two weeks turned into three in the nineteen fifties and four in the sixties and ultimately five in the nineteen eighties. but a lot of people get a lot more than thirty days all depending on the job they do. july and august are months reserved for long vacations in france and there are two schools of thought here. those

the united states is the w.h.o.'st don't another. 20% of the organization's budget comes from mandatory dues paid by members but the rest comes from voluntary donations. the united states is the number one, when it comes to voluntary donations from 2018 to 2019, they gave over 10 times more than china did, 893 million. compare to what china did during the same time period, just $86 million. the director general charles says they will find a way to make up this lack ever funding from the u.s. from other countries but they shouldn't be looking to china because today the country said they have already given the organization $20 million. they don't plan to give anymore as of now. charles? charles: thank you very much, hillary. so what does congress think about the controversial move? some are calling it controversial. some are saying long overdue from president trump. i will get a response from texas republican congressman, house financial services committee member roger williams. rem williams thanks for joining us. a lot

s. currently, this pandemic in the united states has killed somewhere around -- i think the number this morning is around 25,000, 26,000 people. at the heart of the -- at the height of the hiv aids crisis, around 45,000 people a year were dying. i do remember that. i was a younger physician at that time. i think older physicians will recall those years. that was confined to a much more narrow portion of the population. the: our guest, editor-in-chief of the journal of the american medical association, dr. howard bauchner. call.n time zones, in the first hour, we heard from a number of people who, if they did not get tested positive for covid-19, certainly showed symptoms. thought,s far back, he as november. are you getting any research or reporting on the symptoms that were popping up early on this that may have gone undetected? you are asking two different questions. i think it would be unusual for someone to have been diagnosed or to have covid-19 in november. i think the earliest cases really probably did not come to the united states until sometime in january. i think one of your ca
