can we focus on the nazi zombies for a second? >> i intend to speak in support of defunding obama care until i am no longer able to stand. >> jon: what? [laughter] it's easy for you to take that kind of physical risk. you have government healthcare. [cheers & applause] would be unable to stand until the nazis steal any -- my knees. yes, that's senator ted cruz that started at 2:21 eastern wasting time. not to delay, but to cast himself as churchill to obama's chamberlain in the great fight against hitler's healthcare exchanges. i -- i lost the threat of the metaphor. my point is this: senator cruz -- [laughter] takes awhile to sink in. takes awhile to sink in. senator cruz clearly believes our very freedom is at stake here and senator cruz as a brilliant harvard lawyer and princeton debate champion, i figure he has a great and stunning argument as why obama care places this nation in such peril. >> some time ago i tweeted a speech that ashton kutcher gave. it's a terrific speech.

hollywood ties with nazi germany and hitler revealed explosive new book by my next guest. i am joined by a junior fellow at harvard university, author of a brand-new book "the collaboration." hollywood's pack with hitler. talk about an explosive title and book and congratulations on the book. terrific stuff. you say the idea for the book came from a comme talking about louis b mayer. >> i heard in which said they used to meet routinely with them and would screen certain films and would allow the nazis to dictate to preserve in germany. lou: as a journalist i love the fact you took that colonel and turned it into a smashup book on a relationship that most people have never imagined between hollywood and the nazis. >> very good reason for that. the fact is there so enshrined in american culture, when we think of them, they came from the 1940s it we don't think about what happened in the 1930s. the fact is the studio did business in germany, the disc and business and they went to extreme lengths to collaborate with the nazis. lou: collaboration. you're using the word obviousl

nazi, germany. look, we saw in britain nevil chamberlain who told the british people except the nazis, yes, they'll dominate the continent of europe. but that's not our problem. let's appease them. why? we can't possibly stand against them. and in america, there were voices that listened to that. i suspect those same pundits who say it can't be done, if it had been in the 1940s, we would have been listening to them. >> wouldn't you have decided you are standing against the nazis and everybody else who is against you is with the nazis, helping the nazis or maybe they're a nazi too? it's hard at that point once you've gone over sort of the nazi hurdle, hard to say oh, you know what, my bad, this doesn't actually make sense what i'm doing. now if the nazis are not your thing, ted cruz's friend in the senate on this, mike lee of utah, decided he would go with not world war ii as his analogy, he would instead go with the war against the british, as in the war by which we became a country. so he and ted c

weren't we fighting fascists and nazis? why do we have an american commander dealing with him? fdr backed eisenhower completely in his dealings with darlan in north africa. the president realized that what ike was doing was cutting a deal with the devil to reduce the resistance of french troops when we finally invaded these colonies, which was the case. the french fought for about three days, and that was it. so as a result of the deal that eisenhower cut with the admiral, many thousands of lives or were saved. eisenhower saw -- excuse me, the president saw eisenhower perform again in north africa. the president went to the conference at cat blank ca in -- casablanca in 1943, and he met at this oint be eisenhower, and the president always had an eye for a pretty woman. and he noticed that eisenhower was chaufferred around by a very comely britisher, a witty woman, very attractive, by the name of kay sommers by. at this point in the upper levels of the allied command, the rumors are fairly rampant asking the question how close is dwight eisenhower to kay sommersby, his driver? a

but the defeat of japan would never insure the defeat of nazi germany. another major strategic decision that he made in january 1943, casablanca conference, he surprised everybody by insisting that the war must be terminated in only one way, and that is by the unconditional surrender of our enemies. major strategic decision can, very much criticized in quarters at that time. so throughout the war while he does not meddle with the generals, he is our strategist in chief. any other questions? >> thank you. what about the story, i think it's actually a fact, that the president of the philippines actually gave mcarthur a quarter of a million dollars while he was in our army, and some of his subordinates also got like 25, $30,000. is that true? >> the only thing i can say about the point that you've raised is that you were off by a quarter of a million dollars -- [laughter] president quezon even after his island had been invaded came through on a deal that he had cut earlier with mcarthur, and he got a half a million dollars at that point in the war. another

it's the word that the nazi officials used at the time. it's the word that they used to describe their relationship with each other. so you have examples saying we believe in friendly collaboration with germany and we are so impressed with some of the -- some of the things that adolph hitler has done and declaring this openly to the german press. >> and we should point out that ben writes extensively about the fact what collaboration meant in this case wasot just not commercial context. they were offering the germans, nazis something they would not typicly do in any business deal, giving them the right to cut a film, to take scenes out of a movie. i mean -- >> right. >> that's insane to even think of. >> the great movie citizen cane came up with a screen play about hitler's prosecution of the jus leading to the killing in june of 1933 early and he went around hollywood to make the film with an inkeep pdependent producer a people wanted to see the film. >> how would you square this up? i mean professor thomas doroty thinks you're far too to

well it's not going to be easy for the government to crack down on the neo nazis as we've been hearing from the author of the greek crisis in the media. the golden dawn is very well organized and that this whole issue of trying to paraphrase young people to join their cause and this is very dangerous for the greek society the situation there right now in greece is dangerous there is much tension in the streets of athens and there are other see this of the greece there are people who are demonstrating against the citizen and there is the government itself which is trying to mitigate the impact of the golden dawn according to the greek constitution is very difficult to get this barkey out of the law so that mainly the objective of the government is so that the greek public opinion that some members of the golden dawn have already he was screaming out like they were this in order to sell them out that it's not the best solution for that for for them to support this party well keep across what's happening in greece a by getting the latest news and analysis at r.t. dot com that's our websit

sympathizers, nazi appeasers before world war ii. let's listen to his story here. >> you go to the 1940s, nazi germany. look, we saw in britain, chamberlain who told the people except the nazis, yes, they'll dominate the continent of europe, but that's not our problem let's appease them. i suspect those same pundits who say it can't be done, if it had been in the 1940s we'd have been listening to them. >> those comments did not sit well with john mccain whose father and grandfather both served in world war ii. here's mccain speaking. >> i resoundingly reject that allegation. that allegation in my view does a great disservice. there were those who went to war because of the barbaric and great threat to civilization and everything we stand for. amongst them were my father and grandfather. i do not agree with that comparison. i think it's wrong. >> there you have it. i want david to start here. i haven't heard anything like this in a long time. and the enemies, an issue of procedure, to those that buckled and are afraid of the nazis. hi

the planning element i mean that's what they really focused on was that it wasn't just you know the nazis coming to power and saying hey well look you know now is our chance to be aggressive it was before that i mean part of the reason they wanted to come to power was to implement this plan that they had for waging war and so what my client alleges is similarly that there were people in the administration who had a preexisting plan who really wanted to invade iraq who were part of a movement designed to basically flex american military might in the region and when they came to power you know they weren't able to do it immediately but once there was this unrelated terrorist incident they were able to use it as a cover so i think the planning is what makes this more appropriate for a case for to consider the crime of aggression and you know aggression is gaining a lot more acceptance in the international community the i.c.c. the international criminal court in the hague will have jurisdiction of this crime in just a couple years or is an amendment that was passed very recently related to ag

several not guilty verdicts ok that's true but the crimes of aggression some of the nazis did but you know if the one of the interesting things about this case is that it could go both ways i mean i mean they do the political establishment in washington doesn't want this case the see the light of day because we have mr obama in the crimes that he might have committed already in an office but then he can go backwards all the way back to the end of the second world war all the way to the present i'm thinking about vietnam i don't have enough time to mention every single intervention illegal intervention the united states is committed in the last sixty seven years. it explains why government officials are so protective about this idea of so-called sovereign immunity at all levels of government because they don't want to be held responsible and they use the argument that they're doing their job they're doing what they were elected for you know and that any kind of questioning of any kind of accountability like you said earlier would make it harder to do in the future even though you know

not the republican elephant, but the nazi outfit. there was an uninvited guest in his name was adolf hitler. the question on everyone's minds is whether fdr wanted the party nomination again in 1940. and he refused to give a clear answer. mr. president, would you tell us that if you accept the third term one reporter asked him point-blank. put on a dunce cap and go stand in the corner fdr replied with a laugh. not even the members of his own family knew what his real intentions were. of course one question was whether fdr deserved another four years in the white house. his attorney general, robert jackson was convinced that war and war alone compelled fdr to brands for an unprecedented third term. jackson believed that the suicide's domestic policy was to, the president had already pulled everything out of his new deal bag of tricks. only the foreign crisis justified a possible third term. of course fdr's own ambition and also played role. some democrats had accused them of torpedoing all the other potential candidates here but in fa

thousands of jews fled to escape the not sees -- nazis and their ukrainian helpers. it is a dark chapter in the country's history. few people talk about it. an american researcher has shed light the story of two jewish families that survived the war by hiding in a cave in western ukraine. preparations are underway for a cave tour in the western ukraine. he is from the u.s. and cannot get enough of the cave. he comes back every year. >> in 1993, i was here on my first trip. i noticed evidence of human habitation in the cave. most of the information i could get came from old farmers in the area in the 1980s and 1990s. they whispered that they thought some jews lived in the cave. >> a documentary shows the scene when he found the objects while exploring the giant cave systems. after 10 years of research, he discovered the truth. 38 jews hid underground from the nazis for one and a half years and survived. chris is not alone on this trip. five of the survivors grandchildren are with him. all of the jewish families that hid in this cave immigrated to north america after t

. >> you go to the 1940s, nazi germany. we saw in britain, neville chamberlain, who told the british people, accept the nazis. yes, they'll dominate the continent of europe, but that's not our problem. let's appease them. why? because it can't be done. we can't possibly stand against them. and in america there were voices that listened to that. i suspect those same pundits who say it can't be done, if it had been in the 1940s, we would have listened to them and then they would have made television. they would have gotten beyond carrier pigeons and letters and gotten on tv and would have been saying, you cannot defeat the germans. >> i do not begrudge senator cruz or any other senator who wants to come and talk as long as they want to, as long as they can, depending on the rules of the senate, but i do disagree strongly to allege that there are people today who are like those who prior to world war ii didn't stand up and oppose the atrocities that were taking place in europe. >> so here we have ted cruz in his opening hour o
