advertising in the 1950s, highlighting dwight eisenhower's political campaign. she examines what components made them successful. her class is about an hour and 10 minutes. >> nothing perhaps captures the popular memory of the 1950s like the slogan, i like ike. this idea, this pin that so many people wore around the campaign of 1952 and 1956, conveys a notion of nostalgia and simplicity. it really emphasizes this idea of the 1950s as this era of prosperity. and the american people were happy in suburban homes with their nuclear families. i like ike. it's so simple and it conveys that happiness. this idea, however, is a myth. and it is a political construction. the 1950s, in fact, it was a time wrought with racial discrimination, conflict, intense political and social pressures to conform to a suburban ideal that imposed gender hierarchies and mandated heterosexuality in the law. it was a time in which anti- communism targeted the liberal reform impulses of the new deal and often anti-communists took away civil liberties. these are all areas of political pressure

but in fact, it was dwight eisenhower. ike harnessed the power of television to win the presidency and to put forth his vision of america and the world. and this is what we are going to look at today. dwight eisenhower brought several important developments to the modern american presidency through his leadership style and his organizational approach. in doing this, he built on a lot of the transformations that we've already looked at this semester. for example, franklin roosevelt launched the executive office of the presidency, and last week, we looked at how harry truman expanded it with the national security state. dwight eisenhower, however, formalized it. he ran his office very much like he did the military. the bureaucracy became a very entrenched component of the american presidency under eisenhower. for example, he had weekly cabinet meetings and he formed the office of congressional liaison so that he could have a formal link to the legislative process. this was especially important because throughout the 1950's,

and for the republican party and dwight eisenhower it worked.ely, to attract a wider range of voters and to bring in new people to the republican party.at and so i think that's a really key thing here, thinking about i how you could use a new medium to bring in individuals that may not have been engaged in the political process before.they they may not be invested in like workers are whose al negotiating rights depended on building that new deal coalitioc or farmers who their economic interests depended on new deal programs, rather you're appealing to media consumers and finding aa way to get them ino invested emotionally into the c political process. so one of the effective things that eisenhower does is he in brings these innovations from thempaign campaign trail to then housed itself and transforms th white house into a production studio.literall and this is very literally.y. they tookthey t the basement --a basement kitchen of the white house and turned it actually into a production studio itself with cameras.help and he had the help of robe

when americans looked at dwight eisenhower -- i love this picture of ike, by the way. it's 1946, it's after the war, he's chief of staff in hawaii. what's one word that comes to mind -- maybe there are many. he's confident, he's relaxed, but the word that comes to mind is winner. this guy is a winner, and that is what americans saw when they looked at eisenhower. they saw a man who, since playing football or army, then running the second world war, winning, liberating europe, being the first commander of nato, winning two landslide elections and never really looking like he was trying all that hard, the guy was a winner. people just loved being around him, his optimism, his personal quality. one of the things that struck me when researching this book were reports about his personal charisma. he had enormous charisma. he was one of these guys where everyone in the room turned and said, wow, there he is. it was terminal star power. he was athletic in his carriage. carried himself like the athlete that he was. people just loved his persona, and that's a big part of his ea

i have not mentioned dwight eisenhower. and he wawas actually one of the better presidents. was not a man as, historians would tell you, of many words. was not one of the great of communicators, but did have some vision. it is because of eisenhower that we have the interstate road system tt we have. so, i don't know, i would put it has one of the more successful p presidents, but the other things that we might consider with these less than successful presidents is that, um, they weren't pragmatic enough to make the deals that needed to bring the country along to be in step with them. and they lacked the charisma and the character to really, really late. so, as we look at all of these, i think we can see certain elements in every president, even those who we would call failures. had some of these qualits, probably not, not in a great amount. but perhaps there was a part of harding that was pragmatic. perhaps coolidge did have some abability to have peoe trust in him. but the people that we remember are those that have all of the characteristics that professor dallek mentioned

dwight eisenhower suffered a very significant heart attack in september of 1955.e was out of action for 3 1/2 months. did he some work, but for the most part the country was, the business of the government was carried on by a group, a committee of four people. now, it's interesting that not one of those people was vice president nixon. dwight eisenhower didn't trust richard nixon, and there was no real process by which anyone could take over if the president were ill. if the president died, there was a some system. if the president was ill, there was no such system. in 1957 eisenhower suffered a small stroke. at that point he realized that it was irresponsible of him not to have set up a system and at that point he signed a letter which said that in the case of his incapacity, all of his power would flow directly to vice president nixon. it was as a result of that experience that eisenhower became a proponent that there be a constitutional amendment so this wouldn't be a matter of a letter from a president to a vice president, but there would actually be a system

it wasn't until since the time of dwight eisenhower when he was president that any president confirmed more and he was president for eight years. special thanks to the chairman of the judiciary committee previous and now, senator grassley and senator graham for their leadership and special thanks to president trump for nominating this nominee, this justice and three remarkable justices to the supreme court. >> what an extraordinary night, everyone. we witnessed the confirmation of judge amy coney barrett to become the newest associate justice on the united states supreme court and i am so proud to have been a member witnessing judge barrett as she went through the confirmation hearings answering difficult questions coming from both the left and the right. the fact that we have seen her as such a brilliant legal scholar and a brilliant jurist, someone commanded by folks on both the left and the right. as she moved through the process, not a single note in front of her. i am so proud of her the way she held herself during this difficult last two weeks and her incredible demeanor, just ex

that, in fact, the hispanic republican movement began amongst mexican-americans that latched up to dwightsenhower and berry goldwater and richard nixon and puerto ricans in new york have a long tradition of supporting the republican party in new york to rockefeller and even most recently. it's a diverse group. i'd say representative of all hispanic or latino national groups spread across the country, certainly in different percentages and i wouldn't want to pin it on a particular issue like catholicism or free enterprise or law and order or military order and patriotism. i think all of those things have been discussed at a moment in time as underpinning of latino republican identity but i'd say it's all of those things at the same time. >> yeah. sort of a follow-up question before we dive in. what would you say misconceptions are about the latino electorate. it's month -- monolithic but are there apprehensions that you see repeated about the nature of the voters or the nature of the issues that compel the voters to go to the polls. >> great, great, the biggest one is latinos are naturally

ideological division, as it had in 1972, or when the republicans up a charismatic leader such as dwightwer in 1952 and 1956, or the third factor might be when a democrat serving in the white house has done something that gives people reason not to vote for him or for his party, so these are the factors that by a large take away from the possibility of a democratic three, and we have to weigh these factors in terms of 1976 where the democratic party is not divided, where president ford is not known as a charismatic leader, and where there has not been a democrat in the white house, so given this, we see one party playing at the democratic label, one candidate, the other not playing up his party label. >> we hear a great deal about the personal factor in american politics, the coup de grace of a successful personal appeal or the factor when someone makes a mistake. how much does this -- obviously, it affects the party orientation -- the party label orientation of the voter. how much does it really change this other than for an obvious person like general eisenhower, to whom the personalit

where's the spirit of dwight david eisenhower and the democrats to build the stuff?hink therense, i is a spirit around wanting to make grand gestures as it relates to infrastructure, particularly in the u.s. where the scale of the neato is measured. interstate is still two lanes given the amount of repair work that has to be done on it every year. it's there at a level, not just democrats but republicans, but we need to get back to implementation. this is tough stuff to do but andhave the right agencies you have to enable them to implement the programs required. francine: how big is the disconnect between fundamentals in the economy and markets? jim: that's a great question, francine. i characterize this internally where is the fundamentalist, where i put myself in, it is don't fight the fed gang. there's no question the page and response,he monetary the blurring of fiscal and the last six months has inoculated the markets from beyond the scar tissue this pandemic and its consequences are causing. so the tides start to flow out monetary policy put a break and that's,

dwight hicks tweeted out news of dean's death. he was recently hospitalized. he was 65. [ bell tolls ] >>> there's the bell on wall street. news that might be driving the markets today. 898,000 people applied for unemployment benefits. unemployment rate dropped to 7.9%. that's better but not good. it's still more than double prepandemic levels. lawmakers and the white house have not yet agreed on a new round of stimulus for workers and their that's something good. there's a good reason why. here is laura garcia to explain. >> so you may have noticed that all of us are wearing some shade of purple today. it's all for a very good cause. today is actually spirit day, a day where we stand against bullying in the lgbtq community. all of us here at nbc bay area are wearing our purple to share support to the lgbtq youth. bullying of any kind is not tolerated. i'm @lauragarcia nbc bay area or marcus washington nbc bay area with the #spirit day. we're also on instagram as well. hoda kotb is stopping by the ank kelly clarkson show today and is dishing on the latest thin

eisenhower's brother mton whispered in dwight's ear, "bring down the bully."enhower instead said, "we're going to wait for mccarthy to do himself in." in that year and a half that he waited, lives were ruined. careers were crushed. but the ultimate enabler was us. it was the american people. we're the ones, in wiscons, who elected mccart overwhelmingly to be a u.s. senator, twice. and by the beginning of 1954, mccarthy's popularity rating was at 50%. he was the second-most popular public figure in america, trailing only our war hero, president dwight eisenhower. but i think that, while my book is the story of one of the most malevolent characters in american history, it is counter- intuitively a good news story. and the good news is that in our long history of demagogues, given enough rope, every one of them hung themselves in an our long history of buying into bullies-- given enough time, the american people have seen through and discarded those bullies. >> woodruff: such an important book, such an important moment in american history. larry tye, thank you. >

it was republican leadership under dwight eisenhower that kept the peace, and passed along to this administrationest arsenal for defense the world has ever known. [applause] and i need not remind you that it was the strength and the unbelievable will of the eisenhower years that kept the piece by using our strength, by using it in the foremost straits and in lebanon and by showing it courageously at all times. [applause] it was during those republican years that the thrust of communist imperialism was blunted. it was during those years of republican leadership that this world moved closer, not to war, but closer to peace, then at any other time in the last three decades. and i need not remind you, but i will, that it's been during democratic years that our strength to deter war has stood still, and even gone into a planned decline. it has been during democratic years that we have weekly stumbled into conflict, timidly refusing to draw our own lines against aggression, deceitfully refusing to tell even our own people of our full participation, and tragically, letting our finest men die on the batt
