MSNBC "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough joined Randy Tobler to discuss his new book, Saving Freedom: Truman, the Cold War, and the Fight for Western Civilization.
Scarborough said he penned the book on former President Truman because, "I kind of get tired of hearing how nothing can ever work in Washington, D.C. and how Republicans can never work with Democrats and how the job's impossible."
Yet Truman's record is remarkable.
"Harry Truman had more difficult decisions to make [after Franklin Roosevelt died in April of 1945] over the next six-months to two-years, may historians believe than any president since Lincoln. And he seemed to get everything right," says Scarborough. "Winston Churchill said, 'no man did more to save Western Civilization than Harry Truman."
