i am a husker addict and i'm a skeptic of political addicts and what i mean by that is the dwight eisenhower line is that every american adult should understand themselves as a part-time politician. people here and who have my calling for a time that think that being a politician is the be all and end all of their identity, they're not worthy of this job. politics aren't the center of life. american adults on farms and ranches in nebraska today fully loving their neighbor, serving, maintaining the quality passing it on to their grandkids can't be totally disengaged either because all of us share this project. >> i'm grateful to hear you say that. as someone in a mixed political marriage it helps me get through every day. thank you. i do want to come back to did you you now averted in your polling data about young americans and weakness of their grasp of the fundamentals, not just of american exceptionalism but the founding and our political institutions and our system of governance. i want to come back to that at the end. before we get there, what works either of history or political philoso

decision, four of the justices were appointed by richard nixon and one was appointed by eisenhower, dwight eisenhower. that's quote there is no fundamental right to education in the constitution. they said that the state funding scheme did not systematically discriminate against all poor people in texas and that's because districts across the united states use property taxes , that this method was not so irrational as to be invidiously discriminatory. disc thurgood marshall, his dissent and that's what i'm going to read. fully recognizing the implications of rodriguez, than in the case, justice thurgood marshall was-- more than 40% of black children, 14 and under live with family below the poverty line as compared with about 10% of white children. under those circumstances, marshall feared,e african-american children would not stand a chance. the decision he wrote in his dissent could only be seen as a retreat from a commitment to equality of educational opportunities as well as an unsupportable capitulation to a system which deprives children of a chance to reach their full potential as citizens. he

and i see oddly similarities between barack obama and dwight eisenhower. eisenhower came into office, we had the korean war, he started extracting us from it. you see barack obama trying to get troops out of iraq and afghanistan and not completely out but reduced greatly. and you see a kind of no-drama obama and it was quite that way with eisenhower, too. kind of integrity of eight years. and yet, eisenhower couldn't get his vp nixon elected john kennedy won, barack obama couldn't get his secretary of state hillary clinton elected. he got donald trump. but it's a fascinating eight years of obama. i think he will get fairly high marks for being able to run the white house as well as he did. >> mark, your thoughts? >> again, i think president obama, first you say he's 95% successful among african-americans popularity ratings, that is impressive but that is his base. the question is how does the broader american public see him. in some ways he's normalized the idea of a black president, normalized the idea of a black family in the white house. that does have

dwight eisenhower's final mission." ech. he was committed, eisenhower was, to a smooth transition. he really set up the process. his transition from truman to eisenhower was icy. they did not have a good relationship. and he wanted to change that. he was a lot in some ways like trump in that he went outside politics in that he had a cabinet that was a lot of businessmen. back then they called them eight so they went to different people. however he did not want to put any military people inside. being a retired general, he didn't want to have that sense that it was a military regime. donald trump feels differently. he has a lot of generals that he is looking at and has put in. so in that way, it's interesting to look at. it was a dangerous time. and i think we could look, as a country, back to eisenhower and learn a lot, which is why i wrote the book. >> seth: well excellent. i look forward to that. again it's an interesting time and we're lucky to have you doing the news. thank you so much for being here bret. bret baier

you go back to dwight eisenhower, the first post inaugural poll, the highest disapproval rating for a e leked president is 25%. donald trump is going to come in at 40% to 45%. he'll have an approval rating with democrats i'm guessing 20 points lower than anyone we've ever seen. so there is enormous pressure on democratic legislators, and once they get out of office to stand against many of the things donald trump is running on, and promising to do. because as jeffrey pointed out, a big chunk of his domestic agenda, whether appealing obamacare, repealing climate action, is about undoing things that president obama has done. so there's only so long the detaunt can go on. >> we have much more to talk about here as we talk about the trump transition and this idea that they could be imposing tariffs. >>> and we have breaking news, the new video of the berlin christmas market attack and new information about the suspect. plus, new details of the airplane incident involving ivanka trump that got a passenger kicked off of the flight. i'm gonna use this picture on sketchbook, and i'm going to

moreover o, if you study american history going back to andrew jackson, dwight eisenhower. when generals switch over to civilian activity because they know the horrors of war more specifically than other civilians who have not served, you have a tendency to have a reduction in war fare and a reduction in servicemen and women casualties. you can look at that historically. this is something that president-elect trump has an enormous amount of instinct for. he recognizes that a guy called mad dog is a guy that actually is against war and he just wants to reintroduce the element that ronald reagan said in the 1980s. peace through strength. so, i really hope that senator gillibrand once she gets to know general mattis will see him the way we see him. which is a citizen and a gentleman that served the country valorously and is now as a private citizen going to sit at the top of secretary of defense and because he knows the system more than anybody we think we'll create more efficiencies within that system. >> president-elect trump certainly seems to favor having military generals

and dwight eisenhower himself in an analysis december 1941 said that the philippines, the philippines, the asia is watching what they do in the philippines. and they will excuse defeat. i'm not sure about that statement, but it certainly is something he felt in his heart. so he arged, mr. president we have made a promise, we have to go back. on the brink of starvation and there are thousands over 10,000 american prisoners of war that are dying and languishing in prisons or the war camps. we have to go back. ultimately what turned the debate above all else was logistics. when asked can you do the philippines with the resources in the theater that we have, the ships, men, the supplies, what we have in the pacific now can we do it, mcarthur said yes. i want to ask the same question about the operation, he said i need reinforcements. look at the data, july 26-28, 1944. that is the same time that normandy breakout is happening and the france campaign which is considered the global priority among the allies is heating up and the beginning of the great advance toward the german border. there

thomas jefferson, andrew jackson, franklin roosevelt, harry franklin roosevelt, harry truman, dwight eisenhowerlincoln will always be at the top of the mountain. >> why do you think that is? >> he had the biggest challenge of any president. he had a country divided in half. he presided over a civil war were so mad 50,000 people lost their lives. he abolished slavery, the great tarnish our nation that it didn't present for over 100 years. so for him to get rid of slavery and to bring the country together after the civil war is what puts them at the top of the mountain. >> good evening, everyone and welcome to the center for strategic and international studies. andrew schwartz, senior vice president at csi yes and it's my honor to host james kitfield and redoing this in partnership with the center for the study of the american, the center for the study of the presidency and congress were just talking upstairs.

in many ways, dwight eisenhower famously gave a farewell address about the industrial military complexk in 1961. we are going to see barack obama the next 30 days i think having to really awake people almost like paul revere about the problems of hacking and cybersecurity and particularly regarding putin's russia. so this is not -- then we have syria, as i'm talking, in shambles, a huge humanitarian human rights debacle going on over there. he's going to be hit by a lot of hard questions on these two fronts, cyberand syria. >> doug, he's got days left in office, really weeks, i should say. how much presidenting can you do with so little time left? >> well, you can do some if the climate was different, meaning i think he's now operating in a crisis mode dealing with the russian hacks. sometimes like jimmy carter say after the reagan revolution in 1980 signed all these wilderness bills saving alaska lands, he was able to get some things through. carter was also able to keep working about releasing the hostages in iran before reagan got in. you stay busy to the very last day. but this is
