both mr. truman and mrs. truman were fond of books and were fond of reading. president truman said that every leader must be a reader. and from a very young age, he was an avid reader and was up until his passing. so almost every room in this house has the collection of books. and so here in the living room, for example, there is a book case here that has even a signed copy of linden johnson's memoirs called "the vantage point." but johnson and truman's were quite close. right here in this room, linden johnson visited and not only six times but signed a piece of legislation designated united nations today. it's fun to think of some of the people who sat on that couch. the wonderful relationship between president truman and former president her better hoover, two men who had -- herbert hoover, two men who had completely different political ideologies but formed a very warm relationship in the post presidency. i like to think about mr. and mrs. truman visiting with eleanor roosevelt. i like to think about some of the popular entertainers and celebrities of the d

and that really emotionally struck mr. and mrs. truman. and along the way, at every stop there, were people crowding around to say hello, mr. president. and he would say no, it's president eisenhower now. you can call me harry. and there were 10,000 people said glaffered and there was a et of microphones. >> you're back home now for good. i'm in the army of he unemployed now. [laughter] >> when you watch closely the faces of harry and bess truman, you really sense the love there. and the sense that they were back home. and when people would ask harry truman what he wanted to be remembered for, he would say that he wanted to be remembered as being the president of all people. and he would say that when a governor for the or a senator or a congressman or a mayor, when they're elected to their respective positions that they are elected to represent a certain portion of the population. but there was only one person who was elected to represent all of the people of the united states and that was the president of the united states. and truman sa

this room was very special to both mr. and mrs. truman. reading and learning were important to all of the germans. when truman was a young man, just about six years old or so, about the time his family moved to independence, he was diagnosed as having a condition known as eyeballs. he received a pair of glasses with a special prescription, he was legally blind. at considerable expense to the family, he received those eyeglasses now having both eyeglass and the expense of the eyeglasses, he said later, change the way of his boyhood. he couldn't play the sports the other boys did. baseball, football and other roughhousing. restricted him with piano and reading. he later claims that the love of books came to him largely because of that increasingly ability to read. he claimed that he read by the time he left independence, he and his best friend acclaimed by. you're in this room, they were surrounded by the books they loved. it's a neglected a collection of books. everything from a couple of additions of the holy bible to many biographies from

and mrs. truman sitting and reading. both mr. truman and mrs. truman were fond of books, fond of reading. president truman said that every leader must be a reader, and from a very young age he was an avid reader and was until his passing. we're presently in the reading room, the study of 219 north delware street, the truman home, and this spot is very special to all of us because behind this table harry truman loved to spend a lot of his time here in the reading room. one of the last known photographs of harry truman was taken behind this table, and on this table is one of his favorite books about one of his favorite heroes, andrew jackson. and andrew jackson, wanted his political influences and somebody who he would look to in the history books for guidance as to how to be a president of all of the people. this room was very special to both mr. and mrs. truman. this is another one of reames they updated when they came home in 1953, and books and learning and reading were important to all of the trumans. when truman was a young man, just about s

and chief -- mr. truman and chief justice warren both take the ritual. >> this library is not the library. archivist's building with the idea of keeping the the government in an orderly manner. it will take a little while to get that done. do get it done, this place will be the center of the study of the presidency of the united states. >> the truman library was second presidential library established and run by archives and records administration. but harry truman was the first president to actually use his linebacker to be an instrumental force in his library. here between five and six days a week, in his office here at the library. 1957 when the library opened until the mid-60's when his health started deteriorating. as you enter into the main part of the museum, one of the first is the famoussee buck stops here sign, that was truman and became what i call the icon object of the truman administration, because known so much for his decisive action and the fact believed very sincerely in taking respo

i promise you truman did not. >> mrs. kennedy until this night had been wearing american-designed clothes, and peace came in the form of mrs. kennedy's decision to wear a gown by one of france's main designers. >> she used fashion diplomacy. she took that opportunity to celebrate french couture in france and sort of honor it that way. >> she certainly captivated the parisians. >> i am the man that accompanied jacqueline kennedy to paris, and i enjoyed it. >> it was the first time you saw a president and first lady as icons of style, a couple that shared that particular connection and that value system which had always been very important in europe, and i think that was really a turning point of how everybody thought what you could do with an image. >> when kennedy is in paris, he is ae ppit mizing. we were selling our pop culture and art and style all over the world and everybody was buying. >> but there was also the civil unrest at home. >> we're marching today to dramatize to the nation and to the world the hundreds and

i promise you bess truman did not. >> mrs. kennedy till this night had been wearing american-designed clothes and french fashion houses were beside themselves and peace came in the form of mrs. kennedy's decision to wear a gown made by givenchy, one of france's leading designers. >> she was one of the first ladies to use fashion diplomacy. she took that opportunity to celebrate french couture in france and sort of honor it that way. >> she certainly captivated the parisians. >> i am the man who accompanied jacqueline kennedy to paris, and i enjoyed it. >> it certainly was the first time, i think, that europeans had seen a president and a first lady as icons of style, as a couple that shared that particular connection and that value system which had always been very important in europe, but i think, you know, that really was a turning point for how everyone thought about what you could do with an image. >> when kennedy's in paris he is epitomizing the triumph of american culture, the big music in all of europe was rock 'n' roll

harry truman, berlin airlift, mr. gorbachev calling the soviet union the evil empire. there's this word game being played by his defenders. you're talking about the soviet union as if all of his top minions aren't people who came directly out of the soviet union and the fact is that every tough measure that the administration has taken against the russians has been done over the president's hysterical objections. the sanctions that were put in place were put in place by john mccain, not exactly donald trump's best friend. it's just an outrageous and one of the most egregious claims by this administration. >> we have to update you on breaking news right now. a suicide bomber struck coalition forces crowded in a market in syria. according to a senior kurdish security official, that includes americans and civilians. we're still trying to get details on the number of injured or possibly dead, but the official has said there are a number of casualties. isis has claimed responsibility and press secretary sarah sanders told reporters that the press has been briefed and will c

, if harry truman couldn't nationalise the steel industry during wartime, this president doesn't have the power to declare an emergency and build a multibillion—dollar wall on the border. so that's a nonstarter. christian: the whole idea of declaring a national emergency to pay for a border really depends on whether there is indeed a border emergency. vice president mike pence suggests there is. make no mistake about it, we are in the midst of a crisis at our southern border. every day, nearly 2,000 people are apprehended or stopped at attempting to come into our country, that have no lawful claim to be here. katty: but us government figures show the number of illegal immigrants in america is actually falling — it's at a 12—year low. census data shows there were 10.7 million unauthorised immigrants in the us in 2016 — down from a peak of 12.2 million in 2007. and it is specifically it's the number of mexicans crossing the southern border which accounts for that decline. it doesn't sound like an emergency. this weekend, the white house press secretary was grilled by a fox news

. >> reporter: democrats refusing to allocate any money for a wall that mr. trump had said mexico would pay for. acting chief of staff says the president's main goal is border security, aiming to change conditions along the mexican border, even if it means moving away from a wall. >> if he moves away from a wall and says a steel fence, so the democrats can say see, he's not building a wall anymore. >> reporter: democratic senator said affected government employees will feel the financial pinch soon. >> as of next friday they'll miss a pay day. that may miss problems with mortgage payments, balancing the budget. this is totally unnecessary. >> reporter: house speaker nancy pelosi says house democrats plan to introduce stand alone bills but unclear if senate republicans would approve that legislation. >> and the president also confirmed the it deaths of a wanted terrorist. >> reporter: that's right president trump confirming the death of jamal al-badawai. he was culled in an parent drone strike january first and you may rrm that attack on the uss cole killed 17

old war battlefields or truman brought evil to that paradise again and again. show man had to shoot him and was absolutely enamored with the forest he was a bird watching a nature lava adding a trooper but this. human later revealed the motives for his deeds to his attorney . she disturbed me while i was hunting scared off the birds i was after. they were laughing so loudly they saw me in the forest and gave me this flippant look. he disturbed me when i was about to follow the girl. and he later said during an interrogation that he was a poacher he'd also shot animals but left them in the forest for him it was just about killing. so that contradicts the notion of him being in one in fact he was a very confused individual. after three years of murdering at will and without being identified the serial killer was finally caught when an attack on a local far astaire did not go as planned. as f.l. said he had in the forest a call to him stop where are you going and shimon replied to the village of the forest and then said no that's the other direction and shimon sai

chairman biden, although he was complementary of mr. barr, did express concern about how broad his executive power theory is. >> that reading was argued by harry truman in the steel seizure case and rejected by the supreme court but that didn't kill it. it keeps coming back. lawyers in the justice department earnestly believing in it applied it in the torture memo most infamously. it's something we keep hearing. the torture memo is a good example in the case it illustrates much of what the justice department does never gets into court. and so the attorney general is such an important position because very often the attorney general is the rule of law. it is only the attorney general's willingness to not only stand up for what the constitution says, but to recognize what the constitution actually says. i have no qualms about william barr on the first score. it's on the latter that i have real trouble. and so the attorney general is a crucially important figure from that standpoint. for issues we can't even begin to contemplate and we may
