in mid-1966 in terms of the vietnam war. there is over 180,000 american troops in vietnam which by way of reference is about as many as were deployed to iraq and afghanistan at the height of our current wars there. the vietcong insurgency has grown from an estimate of the tens of thousands in the early 1960s, to about 280,000 fighters. there were terrorist attacks in saigon, roadside bombs are what we today call ied is. there was an active buddhist uprising which included three monks who set themselves on fire. pentagon officials understood that there was growing, that there was a growing dissolution with the south vietnamese government and for the u.s. backing at the government but they didn't understand why. it's out there on the site of good. they turned to sign to tell them understand. walter was one of these people is sent to vietnam and he believed the rorschach test which apollo at the time among psychotherapist to diagnose personality traits could be used to understand the recipient the growing insurgency. in the gro

so why talk about vietnam so much? how did they get to that point because i don't think it came from the space race. they have a panorama which is their story of the lobby and its basically filled with airplanes and all of the things we associate with today. and the only thing you see in the entire vietnam war is the m-16 standard issue weapon which darpa takes credit for not for creating that they send the predecessor in the early 1960s to demonstrate that it could be more effective and that became the m-16. that is the only mention which i always found fascinating because in the bucket i book it is the e conclusion which is vietnam was core to the agency's identity and almost everything that we associate with the success tod today, stealth aircraft drones and to some extent computer networking came from the pure code that was involve it was ine counterinsurgency and more broadly, the way we fight about them today much of the technology goes back to the period. if you think about it for a second of the way we are pros

this is the same period of the vietnam war.he communist/anti-communist conflict that took place greatly influenced the hmong people at this time. we can take a little bit more of a history, and learn more about the history of this specific situation starting with the french and how they set of colonies in the mid-1800s in vietnam and laos. laos became a protectorate or colony of the french. the french were actually accessing different resources, changing the dynamics in which people could own and use different land. we did see under french colonial rule a certain amount of oppression and also extensive taxing on local farmers and people specifically, and in particular the hmong people. this is around the 1850's, leading up to the early 1900s. and actually we start to see with world war ii, the start of world war ii in 1940, betweeen 1940 and 1945, we start to see the japanese start to come in and take over parts of laos. this creates a certain hmong hmong side in which the ethnic group took. instead of siding with the japanese,

troops to vietnam and to train allied forces. prior to this, with the french vietnamfrom laos and and laos becoming an independent country in 1954, this kind of gives the opportunity for the expanding viet cong communist forces to come in and expand even into laos. we start to see a very large communist group that starts to emerge in laos. an important thing to remember is that the -- what were the hmong doing at this time? first, i mentioned they were supporting the royal government against the japanese. reproaching and laos and laos started to expand, the hmong for also anti-communist. they were fighting against the communists in laos, to protect their freedom protect their land. we start to see the emergence of a particular character, and important individual who actually created a force of about 3000 to 4000 hmong fighters, engaging in guerrilla warfare. he fought against the communists. was trying tow expand his efforts in fighting against the communists. this is what happens in which john f. kennedy, in a covert operation w

we'll look back at king's vietnam speech, wh

i don't think you can divide vietnam from watergate. nixon himself calls it the last casualty of vietnam. i think that's true. historians looking back are going to -- as i did, lump the two together and say he bungled it. how much better it would have been if he had just, you know, that at the beginning, let's go home back it's a democratic work yes, and no. >> one of the clear aspects of nixon is the tapes reveal the man who often said anti- semitic things and often talked of jews in very negative ways. on the other hand, anyone who looks at the middle east would argue richard nixon perhaps was the most devoted defender of the state of israel. i'm wondering what you see as his legacy there? >> the phrase, and yet, is used a lot in my book. nixon does have these two sites. he has us incredibly dark, ugly side in two places are ugly as anti-semitism and yet, henry kissinger, arthur burns appointed federal was jewish and alan greenspan was jewish. if you were on his side, nixon was not as ugly. he reserved the real ugliness for the owners

that point, there was something children 00 displaced in vietnam. so that's a really, really large number. that was the result to a large extent of the war. by displaced i don't necessarily mean that they were orphans but that they were not able to be raised by their parents. when it became clear the south vietnamese government was going to collapse the adoption agency administrators in saigon understood this was going to be a crisis for their agencies and for the children that they were trying to send for adoption overseas. many of these children had been in the adoption pipeline as they called it for months or years already and they were just waiting because adoption generally can take a long time to process. so they became concerned that the children who were in their care were not going to end up being able to go overseas because the government would collapse and they would have to leave them in vietnam and they were worried about what would appen to them. they began to appeal to the u.s. government to help remove these children from the country

failures in vietnam.ietnam will always be for he and lyndon johnson a black mark, although as time passes, the effect of vietnam recedes in our society, and it seems to be moving towards being put up on the shelf next to the korean war without the same passions that it engenders in my generation. the greatness, i think, of nixon was that he had the ability to look out -- first of all, he had the drive from his mother's side of the family, the quaker side of the family to try to bring peace. and he's constantly talking on the tapes about, you know, we can get 10, we can get maybe 20 years of peace. and in the middle of the cold war, in the middle of the nuclear arms race, 20 years of peace was a great deal. in the end, he sort of brought us 50 years of peace if you're talking about great power confrontations. and he had the ability in 1969 to look across the ocean and see that russia, that soviet union and red china were at each other's thoses -- throats and that this was a time where the united states cou

look what we did in vietnam. there's nothing assad has done that we did not do in vietnam.e killed more than 4.5 million people and they are still dying from agent orange. the: the president said images of the chemical attack affected him and his decision. did they impact you? caller: yes. you cannot believe what napalm can do to a living human body. there is nothing a sod has done that this country hasn't already done. the last thing i would like to say is this. europeans have been involved in that country for over a thousand years. look it up. all of those people the europeans have killed all across this planet and we are talking about one person. i don't believe he did the thing. i think israel is the one that put the gas over there. host: what evidence do you have of that, gilbert? we lost him. james. good morning. i think the president should in fact contact congress before attacking a country unless there's imminent threat to the united states. i believe that's a quote from the constitution. the other point i want to make said itpresident trump was the images that cau

no one's ever said that to me before, vietnam vet today. i can understand not supporting the war and the iraq war is what it is to but i can understand people had that sensation but to go for years and not even be recognized that you are willing to give up your life, that you went over into this and now it's 2000 whatever and i'm the first person to say that to a dozen people. the other end of this is to go back to one of those dating classes. i took a dating class, it was a good one where you work on this game and this one scene where this one time during the exercises there was a stupid guy , masculine guy, for doing this internal meditation exercise in this big guy had this breakthrough where he just realized something about himself , something about life and had this big breakthrough. he starts crying, right? a cathartic cry. that full party, cathartic cry that he realized something about his life and having this perfect breakthrough. right in the middle of this, one of the other guys in the dating for the him and said hi5 dude. he's ri

vietnam and forcibly reunified the two. south korea of course has survived far longer, a vibrant economy, a vibrant government, a full-blown democracy. so the south koreans will be in a far tougher nut to crack. with regard to the purpose of nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons serve multiple purposes and i think in the hands of north korea it is partly aimed at intimidating the south, partly aimed at pushing the u.s. out of and off of the peninsula. low self-esteem is one of those things where we change nations into individuals. i think if anything with the kim family when you have the entire country as your own sandbox, low self-esteem is probably not an issue. host: there is this tweet. why is the biggest, baddest military in the world with the most nukes here in north korea? guest: i think it's an interesting question. who has the most nukes? i think the russians may challenge us for that title, but why does the united states worry about north korea? in no small part because south korea is an ally of the united states, beca

i have a basic argument with the two of them over vietnam than i -- that i carry out over the vietnampters but there's no doubt that they saw the split between russia and china and decided they would exploited the way that they did. that led to the opening of china and changed our world forever. nixon's goal in china was to give us a couple of decades of and he gave us probably 50 years of peace. >> kissinger said he was a phony because all the tapes show him kissing up after speeches. mr. president, you are the greatest area >> in three volumes of memoirs, kissinger says -- he has a great way of witty, self-deprecating nod towards the obvious and he makes a crack somewhere about the worst things about these tapes is there going to show me as a kiss up and in some cases they are just awful. >> did he talk to you? >> no, kissinger did not talk but again th henry kissinger, he has written probably five or six books on the nixon years. there is a limit as to what i could have asked him. should i have asked him one more time are you a war criminal? >> roger stone who works for richard nix

the war in vietnam and its escalation. a gift from the two preceding democratic presidents and their liberal think tank advisors, the smartest of the smart and the best of the best gave us this endless war in vietnam. in fact, on the streets and in the living rooms this revolutionary turmoil really felt like flesh and blood. the country seemingly was running out of control, and it was in this situation that the american people hired richard nixon to make peace and despite the near total hostility of the national media and the liberal left that ran the university, that's what he did. that's from john coin. again, that was richard nixon, the peace maker, making peace at home. he slowly but surely end the the war in vietnam. it's hard to believe this. at the time mr. nixon took office, 300 americans were being killed per week. 300 per week. there was no end in sight. through skilled negotiation and the willingness to reluctantly use the stick as well as the carrot, richard nixon brought the north vietnamese people to the tabl

they didn't want to be filibustered the way he had done on vietnam. frost is this wonderfully dramatic thing where he takes his clipboard and puts it down on the ground and says mr. president, i'm going to put this aside and just let you have a chance to say something that you're going to be very sorry if you don't say this and come to grips with what you've done to the american people. it is a great moment. not as great as the final goodbye in the east room at the white house. that i think is one of the greatest moments of american political history, bar none. brian: did you ever meet him? john: no i did not. the closest i ever got, he is driving down pennsylvania avenue with an open top limousine waiting to the crowd, and all the sudden there are antiwar protesters. they start throwing cans and rocks and they had to button him back up inside the limo musso's -- inside the limo and his presidency got off to a rocky start because of vietnam. i was there as a spectator in the crowd. that was the only time i ever saw him in person. brian: you have a lot

in vietnam can build an even stronger friendship and partnership going forward. what i picked up was there was a subtext to each of these questions and it was pretty much the same. please, please do not let the united states retreat. we need you, we want you and i have to tell you it's a refrain that i have heard all over the world. regardless of where you travel for whom i have spoken i found there's one thing that consistently attracts other people and other countries to our own. it's not always about our policies and it isn't even about our politics as hard as that is to imagine. it's about something more profound. about a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship. it's about an unwavering belief of freedom and rights and dignity of every single human being. the truth is inalienable and it will prove indestructible. it's about a rich tradition of scholarship and research that each of you embody so powerfully today. it's about understanding the ideology that we have these ideals and sometimes maybe often fall short of it but we recognize that, we work on that

we had ships off the coast of vietnam and started the vietnam war because of us -- the same thing. we need to go to sanctions -- host: i want to take your parallel to the vietnam war. guest: the caller is correct. the north koreans are adept at digging deep tunnels and hiding things. and, perhaps, the u.s. intelligence service where these facilities are and the nuclear arsenal, but it is not known in the public domain. there was an agreement that had frozen an earlier attempt at constraining the program, where we knew that the north korean material for weapons was located at a specific site. when relations deteriorated, they moved the materials, so we lost track of it. in the koreanr peninsula -- and that is really why i have gone there in terms of discussing it -- as it beyond -- in theoption mid-1990's, the commander of u.s. forces in korea said that a war on the korean peninsula would be one million casualties and $1 trillion. that was in the mid-1990's. this would be a horrific war. of bomb,k to my mantra negotiator, acquiesce. we do not want to end up acquiescing or bombing. w

a basic argument of the two of them about vietnam, which carries over into the vietnam chapters, buthere is no doubt that they saw a split between russia and china, the soviet union and china, and decided they would exploit it the way that they did, and it changed our world forever. nixon's goal in china was to give us a couple of decades of peace, and he probably gave us 50 years. asan: kissinger is reported saying he did not like him. he was a phony though, because all of the tapes show him kissing up after speeches, "mr. president, you are the greatest p or quote -- are the greatest." john: he had the witty, self-deprecating ability, and he makes a crack that, yes, the worst thing is that they're going to show me as a kiss up, and in some cases, he was just awful, and it is a flaw of nixon that he needed this, too. brian: did he talk to you? john: no. kissinger has written probably five or six volumes on the nixon years and talked repeatedly, giving speeches, so there is a limit to what i could have asked him. should i have asked him one more time, are you a war criminal? , a huge

was still mired in vietnam and for most americans, war was no laughing matter.ew sitcom called "mash," proved that wartime satire was just what the country needed and its legacy would last longer than the 1970 feature film by the same name. "i got the phone call from my agent that gene reynolds, who was producing a t-v series called mash, from a movie that was made called mash, which i had never seen and there was a part in it for me and they were paying 250 dollars for the day. and i didn't have to read for it. all i had to do was come in." "i arrived at 20th century fox studio and gene was waiting for me and he ushered into a trailer which had a woman's army corps uniform dress and the most enormous high heels i had ever seen. i looked at the brand name and it was called el grande, which means 'the big one' (laughs). so, i thought i was dressing with an actress. and he said, 'no, no, no, no.those are yours, put them on.' and i went 'oh my goodness, what kind of a part is this?' so i put the wac's outfit on, the woman's army corps uniform on. and i put the big

we should have got out of vietnam then. and it wasn't. it was months later that richard nixon interfered with the peace process for political reasons and got the word to vietnam not to participate, that they might get a better deal from nixon and stop president johnson from possibly concluding the war in 1968. the racism, the militarism, the materialism still is pervasive, and dr. king wouldn't like what he sees today. we have a budget giving $57 billion extra to the military. and cutting away from diplomacy efforts, foreign aid efforts that mitigate against war. and take away from funding for people, african-americans and poor people in america who need government assistance. that's part of what dr. king was concerned about in this "beyond vietnam" speech, and here it is 50 years later and we still suffer with the same tight budget and same misguided priorities. we have an attorney general who's looking at ending consent decrees on police violence against african-americans in baltimore, maryland, and also n ferguson, st. louis. we're goi
