many know david mccullough's, especially. what's brought you to this book? why now? and how does this book differ from previous books on harry truman? >> well, david mccullough's book was a biography of truman. this is a biography of the presidency. in that sense, it's a more limited book, even though i have a long prologue that brings him to world war i to the pendergast machine and so on. i think it's also, i had finished the book on eisenhower and nixon. i found truman kept showing up. so in a sense, truman was a natural prequel to ike and dick. i also thought, our entire world came from that period and i didn't realize it until i started getting into it, it was seven years. i had cold feet more than once. this is when everything happened. two wars that ended, the atom bomb was dropped for the first and i hope for the last time, ever. nato was formed. truman began pushing for civil rights, even though he was not a great supporter of -- he was brought up in a segregationist environment, but he did it anyway. and everything we have today, the alliance, and the shape

whether it's just of certain parties or some people who attempt to weaken redial the indonesian navy mccullough . yeah. captain mcgee nog is now back in the philippines. he was finally released after more than 6 months, which included time in prison, held alongside murderers and rapists. the once proud captain is trying to reorient his life and process the memories of an ordeal that still keep him captive. i ben fizzle, and i'll be back. same time, same place to morrow. in the meantime, you can get more stories on d, w dot com slash asia or on our social media channels. to you again, see people in trucks injured one trying to see the city center more and more refugees are being turned away and the water families, planes on the taxi. the reason for these critical illness with people lean extreme ross getting 200 people from the agency around the world. more than 300000000 people are seeking refuge. yes. why? because no one should have to flee. make up your own mind. d. w. made for mines with the world, a free flowing trade with america at the helm. for decades, we've taken the principle of us ho

ah ah ah, yes, mr. absolute mccullough with some of the st. peter wouldn't end up with shock. younger, you know, she was come out really go on with some stuff with the like, but need somebody out there with to deal with with a minute. and it was up here at the ball, which can you with it go to sort of a so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy. even foundation, let it be an arms race is on very dramatic development. only really and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk, ah, a a. this is one of the places that the ukrainian military had destroyed off to getting an anonymous tip off of the thing. so mine has it, 10 minutes he was hired by ukraine's pulls is to identify targets the selling turned out to be civilian infrastructure as both pose in brazil, former president of the phil and in come and just look to a 2nd round of voting clay with the process of looking at officially resign off of the african state in july 2nd kuta in just a mo

and if we knew all about him from own point ofut view, that woulde for a narrative historian, david mccullough david maraniss, but we don't know. so it's in those boys that i think you take your imagine empathy to work. and when the phrase becomes too faint to follow that's when i allow myselff to think maybe it went like this. and so to try and do the unheard, the people who didn't tell their story. >> host: my guess is that you are trouble with the historical research on the black grooms and horsemen. >> guest: that was a challenge because enslaved people, generally speaking, were not allowed to become literate solo they didn't leave an account of their own lives. but you can find them. i mean, you can find them, it's just that you have to look very hard. the interesting thing was the white owners who had enslaved people really defer too the expertise because they're thoroughbred horses were a great source of prestige and wealth for them, and so they wanted the best, they wanted the best horses and that meant they wanted the most expert in the field. so you see in their letters to each other

mr. absolute mccullough with the hood, with some of the free people wouldn't end up with shock because usually you know, sure somebody who can watch some stuff done with the little bit familiar with to deal with when you, when you, when you were in love with it, it was up here at the office. can you with yes, with what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on, often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk hulu. no, i get a bill to really get this book. felicia to this to show me other visit. brought all katasha. montague would go up to school or, you know what i see in the morning after ms. luke on is gonna stay clock home. okay. skills as what this book i will call it a metal music that had you'll say you, let's just do barrack of that. the this study with a total another jesus with what is precisely noonish. you see me and i mean like in the, in the difficult. so in the middle man, you grab that

. >> the late historian david mccullough was a frequent guest on c-span with more than 70 appearances including 26 on booktv. he was a frequent speaker at the national book festival. here's a look at at some of those appearances. >> mr. mccaul of this year for his six national book festival appearance and we hope you'll continue to make this a habit. >> ladies and gentlemen, david mccullough came into my office today after the first national book festival to say how important it was to continue to do this kind of event nationally and he offered to help in any way he could spur and it was here in this library the great library of congress while i was employed in a government job as a young man that i first discovered the pull of history and first discovered my vocation, found that what it wanted to do. so i can never ever express sufficiently my gratitude to the library of congress or to the library system over all. when you think of what we have in this country in our public library system, there's nothing like it in the world. when you walk through the doors of the public library any

just financial ah, let's do. absolute mccullough with the hood that we're just waiting in a sheet, which is what you're like. yeah. i mean what is material in that as opposed to will not let for be exempt with some nip. lemme pull that up with an orchestra and i felt like new familiar with why it was actually getting me. can you move? yeah, i'm still place you at that. he's up with any pressure to los community. sure. i know it was up here at the ball, which can you with that was a port if with ah, [000:00:00;00] with me was moving him along with the loading lay. sure. of those who did. it was much of the chill mom we needed to see you anymore. when you're going, you should give mother page to deal with why not need to get no grade, not cisco for now louis and switching you deserve. why not just not the way, but you know, i mean, you know, but yeah, understood it better than you are as there's no promise up as the reach of young smoke at birth with regression and decided to the former the other for the money just comes in me when i sell you retreat, but it's always a on bushel shit. what

nor bold cheat go to defeat screw by beer or 2, but which concert i think the ah yes, mr. absolute mccullough with the world. we are slow, mean little things with you and yet they have been you know, with some of the st. peter wouldn't end up with shock because usually i'm not sure somebody who chromebooks from stuff with the list but need somebody out of the with to deal with with a minute. it was up here at the board. but when you with they don't finish with it. go to photo a russia accuses ukraine's president of trying to start a well, the war i thought the bottom is the landscape course for a preemptive strike against russia. by nature the us we can pull and he can not make a lifeline to its political rivals. in venezuela, washington reportedly proposed to eat sanctions on iraq as an exchange for cheap oil comes in the wake of the opec plus decision to flash its crude output and maybe a say the latest the sanctions could effectively cut off the country.

oh, oh, david mccullough. sorry whom i knew and whose name has now flowed from my memory, obviously, how mortified i was once with him at an event and i said to him, i know you don't want a glass of wine before we start public discussion. and he said, as larry once told me, and i said, larry. and he said, olivia of course, i said, oh, okay. as larry once told me if you drink before a performance, it affect your lines. it only affects the pauses. and he had a glass of wine. he was great. but what put me in mind of that story is with stephen it's it's the blanks pauses in his biographies. and i'm struck because i possess that talent by subtlety and the choices he makes in telling the story what he admits is almost as telling what he features and includes. he's, as i say, a brilliant, selfish, and he lets us come to the story. he doesn't it all at us. what a rare talent. speaking of brian, again at the time, to purge this line with, blood appeared. eric foner found it and i quote so engrossing that the book reads

and mccullough gets bashed for this letter. he is way of line. i do not think we calling as an ally at all. commander one of the largest field armies in the union. and he has a right to express to the president of the united states, what i think about policy. and what he tells the president is that a declaration of radical views, especially upon slavery, will rapidly disintegrate are present armies. but that is a pretty clear shot across the back. i hear what is going on in congress. they are debating the second confiscation act. did not do something radical here. not a good idea. part of -- mcallen is a conservative but the other thing the macallan is probably looking at is anything but he sees as radical might make the other side fight even harder. so he is opposed to anything like that. he still has a concept that there are a lot of southerners your unionist at heart, and we can win the motor if we did not go too radical. well, the president has decided that he is not going to fight the war war with one hand behind his back any longer. so he l

have been malia kathleen, so as before the that that works the way you must with ah, yes, mr. absolute mccullough with some of the free people wouldn't end up with shock because usually, you know, she has come up with some stuff done with all the help, but need somebody out of the school. we have to deal with with a community and it was a double up which can you with that you need to go to sort of look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings. except where such order is a conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence at the point, obviously is too great trust, rather than a with artificial intelligence. real. somebody with hello bob must protect this phone existence with who the 1st stage, his main goal was to eliminate military infrastructure. now russia must secure full control of a dumbass and southeastern ukraine in order to safeguard crimea and provide a land cargo to the peninsula. i think that russia is proceeding in a very deliberate and even matu

know why that's important to you when lee zeldin brought up locking people up and it reminded me of a mccullough moment when he said parents don't have a part in children's education. you can't make a statement in the debate when the number one issue is crime and the images are heart breaking. >>harris: that's a fact and, emily, stack the facts in new york city. when she says they're adjudicating the cases against criminals. i mean, her pants are literally on fire. >>emily: i'm glad you play that had clip because she said in the same sentence bail reform and consequences, that's exact opposite of what we've been seeing on the streets. i echo your point, kayleigh, she lacked passion orem wow. think or humanity and to impugn zeldin and imply he was a bit disconnected from what new yorkers want or need to me was the laugh of the century. he's been down in there, sleeves rolled up acknowledging the pain and fear going on here and by the way, when you've lost the new york times, their headline today reference that had specifically saying the governor's race is suddenly too close for democrats comfort

and the fact that randi wiengarten is on stage and they though she's toxic and campaigned with terry mccullough for the virginia win for republicans and they know how terrible she is and she's still on stage with them and that represents her power and what democrats think she can do for them. stu: next one, karol, lee zeldin crimed out crime in new york. >> lee zeldin gets into office, new york will become a law and order state and he will be a law and order governor. the crime problem has been totally self-inflicted. you cut police budgets, you do things like eliminate cash bail, and you have rogue prosecutors who won't even enforce laws they disagree with, of course you'll have streets that are less safe. stu: karole, let me tell our audience that don't know, you fled new york to florida because of crime and everything else. is the crime bad enough to get lee zeldin elected? >> absolutely. i have a column in the new york post where i specify that the crime is so unusual in laces like new york and argue with the katie hochuls of the world whether or not crime is bad. i love seeing my governor

they can meet david mccullough. they can hear him read from his book. john adams his new book, which he read from last night. i love the idea of americans reading about our american heroes our his new book about our second president. it's so instructive to all of us. and and so i hope people will read that book, but i hope they'll also read a lot of other american history books. we have great children's writers here today chris curtis who was the first and mayor african-american to win the newberry ward is here. we reading from his book. we have a number of storybook characters. i said earlier. somebody told me they could tell i was from the south because i said you can get your picture made with clifford the big red dog. so i hope people come out and do that as we close out our look at laura bush. she unveils her official portrait at the smithsonian's national portrait gallery. this was only weeks before the bushes left, washington to return home to texas. so if the first lady would please join me in the unveiling of her portrait for the national portr

i think david mccullough's book was very important in saying, well, let's give him credit for this, that and the other. i think people were already recognizing the marshall plan, nato, and so on, that these were all programs that were his legacy. and the fact that there had not been a major war. korea is the one big blot, to me, on his presidency, because it didn't have to happen. not in that way. i think we had to respond, we had to respond to the north korean attack on south korea. we couldn't just let them walk over the south. and also, it was a real test for truman and the united nations which he put a lot of value in. but it was not a great moment in his presidency. >> you had alluded to joseph mccarthy and acheson being attacked by him. as a child, i came home from grade school age six, seven, eight, and they were on the tv and i'd watch it and didn't know what i was watching. but i saw a drama. one of my cousins was called before the mccarthy committee. was truman outspoken at all in his presidency? >> mccarthy got more and more powerful later on. truman let mccarthy have it. mcca

would be wonderful to think of a canvas that was so enriched by these voices excuse alongside david mccullough and doris kearns goodwin. he opened up a rich new opportunity to feed the hunger at the turn of the 21st century. americans to recast the past with new and intriguing figures or new visions. these intriguing figures. and without this kind of boom in biography, i'm sure i wouldn't have taken the step forward of leaving permanent teaching post to write. but biography proved to be the key to this shift in oates was really an exemplar in this regard. i want to conclude by that. oates wrote about storms and weathered some of his own, and i felt that anyone willing to step into the minefield of lincoln studies should be admired and, the young people warned. although various camps of lincoln easterners, as i've come to call them fondly at times not so fondly at other times seem to spend more time by the campfire aiming their rifles at one another. these days, the battles continue. who owns lincoln? who owns the field? and would advise if you were going to write unmarried lincoln body armor m

um, i think i think david mccullough's book was was very important and sort of saying well, let's let's give him credit for for this for this that the other but i think people were already recognized. i mean, how did you deny that that the marshall plan nato and and so on where these were these were all these were all programs that that were that were his legacy and and the and the fact that they're not been they're not been a major war korea. is this korea is the one big blot? to me on that on his presidency at the end because it didn't have to happen not in that way. i think we had a respond. we had a respond to the north korean attack on south korea that for we couldn't let the stand just we couldn't let them walk over the south and also it was a real test for tribute of the united nations, which he which he had a lot of was she put a lot of value in? but it was but it was not a but it was not it was not a great moment in his presidency. you had alluded to joseph mccarthy and atchison being attacked by him, i as a child i come home from in mid grade school age six seven eight and the

david mccullough, the biographer of treatment and of the people and john adams. you almost never see a biography like that from academic historian anymore. one or two exceptions like david recent by frederick douglass merkel backs and if i just academic historians were people like arthur schlesinger at harvard. by the way my age of reagan was meant to be a play. wonderful books reading wise. slice into was a great pro style is, a good strong arguments but it'll liberal bias and that's fine so i was trying to return the favor. that is a very big problem. the speech question you started out with, the free speech movement fsm use the old abbreviation from 64, is still remember around berkeley but the irony is that this. i think you said it or maybe you didn't, the students of the new left in the '60s all said we want to grow up and have responsibility now. we don't want administrators toddling us. down with administrators. that's what was said at berkeley. today what do we care about them? campuses, safe spaces, hate speech and bias instant response teams. one of th
