after returning to vietnam to put dispatches together. may the because the subject was haunting and traumatizing that by the end of it i wanted nothing to do with it. effectivelyle locked himself inside an apartment forced himself to navigate his struggles with the war the relationship with that. and the ability to face unpleasant facts and still function. both writers know says necessity of effort both internally andti against internal and external forces such as class and education. in short and cautionary tales of the gut wrenching work the industry of professional to exert patients and leverage agency think of these often as you navigate this job. often losses with humanhe attributes. for seeking more on the personal means to an end both dispatches and short timers walk many of the characters wanted to enter combat get some trigger time. as joker on the rest, which is embroiled into an ugly urban a battle meant a squad leadero named krazy earl's are great days and jolly green giants walw on the earth with guns. the people we would so

both are about vietnam. michael haire was a correspondent, wrote a fantastic book in the late 70s as is time, what the vietnam experience was like. hazard was a marine combat correspondent, the job i had and he wrote about his experiences in the battle of way city and marine boot camp. i have to talk about war literature, hard to talk of war story without that. i was fascinated with the vietnam war as a teenager into a milder extent still am. there are few wars in american history that are eloquently and completely grounded in literature as vietnam and i grew up right when much of that literature was publishing. think of tim o'brien's things they carry if i die in a combat zone. larry heine maps close quarters and a rumor of war, james webb's fields of fire, these are all books i saw coming out as a kid. much of that literature pushed me towards the military. which biometrics should be a bit odd and yet incredibly common. war literature, much of it is considered antiwar, mainly the works i mentioned. as moti

those that are eloquently and completely rendered otherwise w as vietnam. and to tim o'brien. and a rumor of war. b and coming up as a kid and literature push me toward the military which all metrics is oddly incredibly common and much it's considered to buy antiwar and has motivated more people to fight people i've really engaged and those who are interested in the profession. enlisted in the military on the back of antiwar stories. into the efficacy of the antiwar art and he saw full metal jacket and platoon i t want that for myself. and in the understanding and those that are rendered in those stories to go into the military later. and then both dispatches. and then to work together to create a pair of films which are considered classics along with full metal jacket and lots of dialogue from apocalypse now comes from that andor much of that dialoguesc going deeper that is the orbit of the fascination for either directly or indirectly and the relatively unknown in the mid- sixties to report on vietnam the magazine and with an npr vietnam interview he stated this is tough to

s. military involvement in the vietnam war. the leak documents, known as the pentagon papers were instrumental in exposing the scope and strategy behind the u. s. is war in the region, in many, at the time, believe that they could change how the world viewed war decades later as conflicts rage on and ukraine, yemen in ethiopia, just the name a few. the decision making process behind wars remains as murky. is that what we do know is that billions of dollars is spent on weapons and defense contracts every year, making conflict incredibly profitable result. so will benefit from war. and who are the biggest players behind the war machine and up front special that daniel ellsberg. daniel ellsberg. thank you so much for joining me on up front. thank you for having a large part of your life's work has been committed to not only raising awareness about the dangers of nuclear weapons, but also the money behind them. in 2020 independent raged the 9 nuclear weapons. states collectively been estimated $72000000000.00 on nuclear weapons and

johnny cash lived through a difficult time during the vietnam era. many measures i thie even more polarized and divided than people were then and i wonder how this affected your approach to the writing. i assume that i don't even think about this book for a long time, but you must have done most of the writing during the trump era. and so i wonder how that might have a shaped your approach and then you can comment into that. what are the lessons that maybe you think we could or should draw from johnny cash a person who did try to transcend political labels in some pretty fundamental ways. well, you're right that i did i did think about it. obviously it was impossible not to and it didn't have so much to do with you know, particular political figures so much as it did with the way that we talk about politics in the united states and the terms of debate and discussion that we use right, you know, one thing that drives me crazy is always speaking in these kind of binary terms of some, you know, like on election night. everything's red and blue and that'

both of whom are about vietnam. michael o'hare was a correspondent and wrote a fantastic book in rethe late 70s about what the vietnam experience was like. hazard was a marine combat correspondence and he wrote about his experiences during marine boot camp. now, i have to talk about war, it's hard to talk about a war story without getting you to fall for it a little bit. i was s fascinated with the war as a teenager to a milder extent still am. there are few wars in american history that are eloquently and completely rendered as vietnam and i happened to grow up when they were publishing. kim o'brien's the things i carried, larry heinemann's closequarters . the rumor of war. the fields of fire. these are all books i saw growing up as a kid. most of that literature pushed me toward the military which by all metrics should be a bit odd and yes it was incredibly common. war literature where much of it on the high art side is considered antiwar, i'm thinking about these works we mentioned and it motivated more people in

it was a mixture of $240.24 t agent orange that was banned in vietnam. and nobody realised that the same chemicals were being used here in a still going on. mm. agent orange was a tremendously destructive home of a tremendously destructive war in its own unique way agent orange was the most destructive instance of chemical warfare in modern history. when i was still 5 years old or something, i read everything. it was still during the war and i read something about all the birds been killed by oil spills from ships being blown out. that's what i worried about during the war was all those birds come and mike didn't help me and i started reading letters. i'm not sure who i sent them to laura wanting someone did take care of those birds please. maybe that was the beginning of my activism. noon. we moved here and 74. the kids were just part of this landscape and they were down among the river. they knew everything that lived down there. my kids loved it. i mean they were part of it. there were beaver's daughters in the river then to. yeah, of course all the f

i'd been working on this other book mentioned about the vietnam war in 2002 sony and columbia had come out with a concert recording that had never been released before. was from december of 1969. it was recorded at madison square garden at which johnny cash starts speaking quite a lot in fact about the vietnam war so then it peaked my interest because i was a fan and it didn't evenhe know he said anything about the vietnam war until heo heard the recording. so when the auction was taking place i decided to go check it out not really sure what i would learn. i was about to give up in fact because i thought this is kind of pointless. it's just one person after another bidding on a pair of cowboy boots or something and this couple came in and sat down next to me kind of excited. they just arrived. the bidding had already started. of the woman at some point asked me what i thought i was going to bid for and like you said, i was a poor professor at the time. it was pretty much nothing i could afford. so i sheepishly said i'm just here ass a historian and that kind of piqued her interest and

of the vietnam war. it could easily be misread. as a kind of anti-militarism kind of song and he didn't think anything of it. he performs it on the television show with buffy saint marie, you know as a sort of laughing through the story about you know, what happens to george armstrong custer which is pretty ugly. so i just don't i think other people have kind of assumed other scholars in biographers have kind of assumed that that was part of what he was doing by by dabbling in folk music. he was trying to expand his audience into vote, but johnny cash didn't need to expand his audience into folk, you know, he already had an enormous following even without very many hit songs in the 1960s. he was a columbia records star and he was in a he had. you had a certain amount of freedom because of that to do what he wanted. you know, the television shows a little bit different because he didn't have complete creative control over the television show. it was clear that he had guests on who he would have rather not

they deny that the children of male vietnam veterans are affected. so i'm hoping with your law suit, the things will change that it'll be, it'll stick this time. ah, no, i the case it's frustrating. ah, these companies have been able to avoid accountability for what they've done. i think your case is incredibly important as sort of the last opportunity that we may have to hold these, these, these companies accountable for the wrong doing that they knew they were engaged in when they made this poisonous product. the national forest here is no longer sprayed and the reason is a series of lawsuits that began with the caps lawsuit. but how about all those other people? how will people right down the road that i have private timberland around them that's getting sprayed with they're going to keep these chemicals on the market. no matter what. the only hope is for. and maybe it's a pipe dream. but if these corporations have human rights according to the supreme court, while damn it, they should be subject to capital punishment just like an individual would

and publishers were integral to the information that you liked about the vietnam war. so i'm curious from your perspective, what happens if that president that you spoke to is said that alleged to create a new as chris that is not distinguishable from russia today with julian assange. ah extradited if he hasn't yet been expedited, but it was expedited and prosecuted and convicted here. we will have had the 1st instance of an actual journalist as a law or a it will be essentially rescinded if julian sanchez, successfully prosecuted. and we will then approach how important is it to have actual transparency when it comes to government actions and government decisions about war? i'm afraid that transparency and war are 2 words don't really go to each other. they don't exist together. in war time, that secrecy is suddenly due to my son war because you have to keep it from an enemy. that's one of the senses in which i should and at least are understood, which actually figured far more politically in the millions of other people we were killing in vietnam. but a crime against

i thought you answer on vietnam was good. i really didn't like the answer on the gall because i think i've heard you say and i but i believe you actually have set out loud, but you don't believe you all about of the country this year. so i don't think you can very well say that you meet him anytime that's convenient both people when we can be a raise. i'm not going out of this country. i didn't say where i'd go. i didn't say i'd go out of the country at all and no i guess this is a reaffirm that i wouldn't go i see well i then i just didn't hear didn't didn't get the meaning of it that everybody else did. i think the outstanding things with the close-ups were excellent. you need to learn when you're gonna have a prep. text you need to have the opportunity to study it a little bit more and to read it with a little more conviction and interest. and change of pace probably as a criticize you for taking so much time. they want to use it all for questions and their questions don't produce any news. they don't give them news. we ca

i thought your answer on life was good and i thought your answer on vietnam was good. i really didn't like the answer on the gulf, because i believe you said out loud that you can't leave this country. >> it would have to be arranged. i didn't say i would go out of the country at all. >> no, i guess -- >> in fact, i reaffirmed that i wouldn't go. >> then i just didn't get the meaning of it that everybody else did. i think the outstanding things were that the close-ups were excellent. you need to -- when you're going to have a prepared text, you need to have the opportunity to study it a little bit more and to read it with a little more conviction and interest and change of pace. >> the trouble is they criticize you for taking so much time. they want to use it all for questions. then the questions don't produce any news, they don't give news, they catch hell. so my problem was trying to get through before ten minutes, and i still am ten minutes today. and i took the third of the questions, and i could have taken, like i wanted to, 15 minutes. but i didn't know what to c

i thought your answer on vietnam with good. i really didn't like the answer on the goal, because i think i've heard you say enough. but i believe we actually have said out loud that you don't believe you are to go out of the country this year, so i don't think you can very well say that you will meet anytime once confided to both people. >> [inaudible] i'm not going out of this country. i didn't say where i'd go. i didn't say i'd go out of the country. >> no, i guess -- >> whatever that is i reaffirmed i wouldn't go. >> i see. then i just didn't hear, didn't get the meaning of it that everybody else did. i think the outstanding thing were things where the close-ups were excellent to. you need to learn, when you have a prepared text, you need to have the opportunity to study it a little more and to read it with a little more of conviction and interest and change of pace. >> well the trouble is that they criticize you for taking so much time. they want to use it all for questions. and if questions don't produce any news, they don

i am a one hundred percent disabled vietnam vet. i believe vietnam was not created to kill another man. the world is being run and controlled by putin and he needs to be crushed like the roach that he is. it is not going to stop the world has given him permission to exist. he needs to be totally stopped. the united states continuing to buy oro -- foil from this man. host: democratic line on washington journal. caller: finally a little sunshine here in cartersville, pa. it has been a cloudy season. something i have been hearing for about eight years on how social security by the year 2035 is going to be reduced for those who receive social security checks. he passed on his ssi pension and myself, i will be 70's soon. i have been retired for nine years and i enjoy my benefits on social security. host: what do you think should be done, dennis, if that is correct that it is going to be reduced? caller: i don't have all the facts but the facts i have is that congress has allocated all kinds of money since covid for different reasons. and

change the name vietnam. to cambodia, i mean to afghanistan. iraq you you have to wonder do we ever learn anything? i don't know. we seem to repeat it. we certainly did in afghanistan over two decades. 10 years in vietnam led to 20 years in afghanistan you know extraordinary extraordinary business. i'll move along that saigon. i was then named the new york times saigon bureau. chief was a large bureau at that time. saigon was a beautiful city. as you can see in that that's the presidential palace i decided that i should bring my wife and then seven month old daughter with me most journalists had put their families in hong kong or bangkok, but security system situation seemed to be better. and we rented a house on wednesday street directly across from this palace. and just down the street from the famous twinspires of the saigon cathedral. i thought that was pretty smart because i'd have the presidential palace with its security detail and i'd had the lord just down the block. well, it wasn't so smart. it turned out that. the viet cong would set

the way the global economy works, a factor in vietnam makes computer ships and shuts down in vietnam because of covid. causes a ripple effect and slowdown manufacturing in detroit where they need those semi conductors to build a automobile. prices went up. it was not just automobiles. last year alone, they accounted more than one third of all of the prices in america. the price went up because fewer were being made. the price of automobiles skyrocket. i am counting on congress to pass the bill to make chips at home and speed up supply. the board of intel says he wants to be able to invest $20 billion to build a computer chip factory west of cleveland. if in fact we get this other piece of legislature, with this in one house but not the other, we are going to need to invest another $100 billion -- $100 billion. you know what the average job is 3000 800 full-time jobs. average salary in the full-time jobs and many blue-collar jobs are $126,000 a year. things are changing. the second reason for inflation is vladimir putin. not a joke. putin's invasion of ukraine has ran up ga prices pri

and you did have some people who descended but that was not necessarily good enough to deal with vietnam, but since then you have virtually no dissenters in any administration because of the nature of politics. how do you fix that? one way that i've argued to fix that which gets to the decision-making process is to change the nature of the national security council. and how it operates and put in place one person who's in charge of red team analysis. that is to say when you have program or policy you red team to this in the most adversarial way. we don't do that. second i argue that what we need to do in the pentagon is to separate the joint chiefs of staff from being chiefs of staff to service. i don't think you can do both jobs because it's a conflict of interest. how do you take off your hat the center of the army navy air force marine corps and then become a cheap it's almost impossible to do and the chiefs would function full-time on strategy. that would be your board of red team a lot of people would dislike that because they're military people. they should have no real role in the

early 70s and felt the democratic party was corrupt party because they were prosecuting the war in vietnam. but in the end, we have a two party system, and one of the two parties is going to win, and i was certainly on the side of the democratic party winning. so i gravitated toward the democratic party and as a historian i noticed an unusual lack, historians wrote about all kind of subjects politically in america but very few write about the history of the major parties. maybe write about it for one election or one president or two presidents or one controversy surrounding a party but there's very few books on the whole history of either the republican or the democratic party. historians like to write about things people haven't written about before. obviously we use lots of books and documents for people who have written about it before so this is an attempt to sort of sum up the whole history of the party, what it stood for and as the title has it, when it was successful and why. that was the theme. >> when i saw your title, "what it took to win," i thought of james carville. turns out

you won't see me flying to vietnam even though i did fly to vietnam, you won't seamy camping out, all the back story of me getting harassed by various people and the story of getting the story because i intentionally didn't want to be the person telling the story. i wanted to flip it and let the people both in history, my historical actors and the people i was kneeling tell me the story and that included people inside monsanto, people who worked inside monsanto who you nailed it, the soda springs story for me was the one your point about them having reasonable expectations hit me in the face and as a writer what i learned during that process is you have to go to these places to write about them. it may not seem odd at all in new america but for historians we are so often in the archives and don't venture out from that space. what's new america did was spur me to get the story, to listen to what people are saying on the ground and this is a town of 3,000 people in idaho, no one knows it but it is the location where monsanto manufactures its round up and as someone who has always been i

after he came home from vietnam he was deeply confused by what he just experienced. he appreciated how his parents pushed him to put the war behind him while he went back to college. he was assigned and one night while out brake he took a novel and read it in a bathroom cell, an image that i personally dislike. he read the scene of the movie being reversed and by extension imagined everything he just experienced also being erased so he wept tears. so i made a choice to put in the context of ptsd but check out the totally different take that suzanne had and one of my favorite things i reached out to suzanne and asked her to read my book and while she was reading my book i read her book. her book came out while i was working online. i had this amazing summer for a few weeks i was imagining what is she thinking while reading minet and i was admiring her bok hoping she waso admiring mine bt also noted some of the difference. so this is what she says about this theme. it's a chapter called propagation. there is no explaining the imaginative leaks in the scene of the rever

vietnam, watergate, the dollars of the late 1970s. it appeared that what we might call the left, or the new left, was out of ideas, it was exhausted and that gives way to the reagan revolution, which i guess, couldn't overturn the new deal by, then why but was not going to allow any more liberal reform of liberal [inaudible] that was it. to draw a line. and we're kind of still living in that i. >> think that's two. and partly because we haven't had a majority party in this country, really, since the early 1970s, 50 years. one party wins for a while, takes the congress for, all the takes the senate, the other one takes the house. this is mueller gilded age in the 19 set you went to parties were fairly equal in strength. when that happens you're not going to have real big sort of forward movements of any great size or importance. in policy. moore, you're going to have [inaudible] around the edges, as you, say one of reagan, you know, was very popular the last six years or so off his administration, but he didn't rollback social security

but by the time the vietnam war started, the navy had said, you know, no personalizing the airplanes the only exception was an aircraft named lady jessie don: the way that it came about that there was an aircraft that had nose art on it was because of two very special people, and that was lieutenant commander dick perry and lady jessie, who was jessie beck. ♪♪ larry: jessie beck had come to reno in 1938 as a young divorcee brought her little boy along. she had come there from texas. because she had been promised a job by pappy smith. pappy smith is credited with laying the model out for reno casinos. his son had a little tiny gambling outfit called harold's. jessie was gregarious, easy to talk to, natural leader. by 1950 she had risen in the casino and she fell in love with and married fred beck, who owned the keno betting concessions. as the casino grew, so did their business. fred beck died in 1954, about the time dick perry was in college. don: dick was raised in the small town of carlin nevada. he was someone who was a natural leader, hard working. mike: he always had a smile

the hump was the yes yes, so vietnam water. eight. we're still facing. i think if you take the long view of american history over the really since the 1960s, we're suffering from a crisis and trust in our institutions and in our government, it's why it's so hard to hold on to power and have a long-running majority. but with good reason i mean the government has and our institutions have in many ways failed people. we just got out of afghanistan after 20 years when your thoughts we're you know, maybe we shouldn't have been the first place but where's the anti-world left actually american power both domestically in terms of and power abroad was obviously growing from arguely from world war one through world war two each of the cold war and the state was growing too, you know, the military and just a complex was big government, you know, of course even though a lot of republicans supported it. but i think the loss in vietnam and it was a loss the fiscal crisis the stacked place in 1970s. also was the first time since a great depression when americans began

i've fought in vietnam for two years. i am disgusted with my country. i am disgusted with my country. it has turned into nothing but honoring the god almighty dollar, which that will be the fall of this country, you watch and see. thank you. host: all right. take a look at this article from foxnews.com. ken line, a warrant -- headline says -- the article says an advisor to the mariupol city mayor warned saturday, today, that russian troops are preparing to shut down the city by april 18 and will "pilfer all men for forced service, labor, isolation." occupiers report that on monday, they will not only finally close all entries and exist to the city for everyone but will institute a ban on movement across the neighborhoods for a week. during this time, 100% of the city's remaining male population will be filtered. that is from a ukrainian news outlet. gerald next in north carolina, democrats line. good morning. caller: good morning, and thank you for having me. you are doing a great job. i just want to say that we are at an inflection point. i love our co

i love vietnam. maybe it's a fair-minded thing like when you meet the love of your life for the first time. she just somehow inexplicably smells and feels right. you sense that given the opportunity, this is the woman you want to spend the rest of your life with. >> we had common desire to spend time in vietnam, maybe forever, that was our secret bond. and of course, the movies now, was one of the top three movies in his life because it combines so many things, vietnam, and the war, the book -- >> we just started doing all of this self indulgent film references and suddenly realized this film-making thing can be fun. you know, it's a big crayon bokbox, we can enjoy this. >> he used to say don't ever let me do tv, like if i ever do tv, shoot me, and at first, it was awful. >> where do cooks come from? the answer to this and other questions, to follow. >> and then very quickly, he's such a good student, so freaking smart, he like figured it out. >> chris, lydia, i love you, you know that, right, i get
