ronald reagan is unhappy with president harry truman's slow building up of america's troops.nlike when dwight eisenhower launched a massive invasion, truman does it slowly. reagan is unhappy because the war is becoming a quagmire. ronald reagan believes in small government and is unhappy truman has continued the bureaucracy that was begun under fdr. he is thinking, who should he support in 1952? ronald reagan is still a democrat. he telegrams to dwight eisenhower and urges him to seek the presidency. and he becomes, officially, a democrat for ike. a few things about that time period. he famously says i will go to korea and assess the strategy and tactics. that is what he does when he enters the oval office. fighting stops in no small part because behind-the-scenes, weight eisenhower threatens communist china with nuclear weapons. that as well as the death of stalin and other reasons, the fighting stops. now he is president and in 1953, dwight eisenhower delivers and all but forgotten speech at the united nations. he offers to turn over america's nuclear arsenal to an internat

>> i also noticed the visuals were important because there was an allusion to harry truman within the even though he wasn't up for president. i think unlike the democratic ads we saw earlier in the lecture, the visuals for i like ike are very important for selling the message of the advertisement. >> so they are selling the critique of the democratic party here. but the emphasis is definitely on that positive message, that you don't want to be part of that democratic party and truman and what has been for 20 years. you want to be part of the future. >> i have two points. first, to continue on the visual point, it really helps with the rewatch ability. i could probably recite, not the bob van bit, but the other piece i could probably recite that from memory after watching it once. but i like ike, it has all these subtleties. i didn't even catch it the first three times i watched the video and i watched it many times. but also it is very personalizing, digging into sort of, i don't know if this had been explored in psychology yet, but the idea of peer pressure. i like ike, why don't you

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 and well focused and executed component of the american presidency under eisenhower. for example, he had weekly cabinet meetings and he formed the office of congressional liaison so he could have a formal link to the legislative process. and this was especially important because throughout the 1950s the democratic party controlled congress. so eisenhower recognized that to get things done he needed to have a really smooth operation in terms of links with congress. but he also brought this organizational focus to this shifting media environment and transformed the white house into a production studio. and to do that he worked very closely with hollywood figures and madison avenue television executives and companies to navigate the new mass medium of television that ultimately really transformed american political communication during the 1950s. so th

in the way that harry truman, as ,e talked about, left office tail between his legs with incredibly low approval ratings and nobody thought that the subsequent years would look at him favorably and yet harry truman is now thought of as one of the greats. it would probably surprise somehowy if george w got exalted into the far upper reaches. but whether in all the lifetimes and the decades ahead is the bush years will be seen the way the country saw them up to the very end is a different question. years offer that strong contrast. they, when they were concluding, it seem like they would be looked at as this house jan era of success after success with a lot of political noise around it. that is not, at least for the present moment, the way history is in to think about them now. >> i do have some democratic friends on social media often say, in terms of donald trump, that they now miss george bush.

i mentioned in a previous lecture harry truman never got a congressional power of war tonight in korea. he was required to, but dnidn't get it. in 1954 eisenhower asked the congress to grant him the authority to launch an air strike to relieve the french garrison in vietnam. congress led by lyndon johnson turned eisenhower down. it was too soon after korea. memories of the war were too fresh. in 1955 when the islands were being bombarded by the communist chinese, eisenhower asked for what came to be known as the formosa resolution. it granted eisenhower to take whatever military action he felt was necessary. this was granted by a wide margin. again, in 1957 when there was evidence of a communist insurrection in lebanon eisenhower coined the doctrine that gave him the freedom to dispatch u.s. forces to protect u.s. interests in the middle east. congress passed it by an overwhelming margin. johnson made clear when asking for this resolution that i don't ask for anything beyond the discretion granted to dwight eisenhower. while the manner in which the resolution was obtained was in defens

as i mentioned in a previous lecture, harry truman never got a congressional declaration divide in korea and that was a un police action. as i mentioned another lecture, in 1954 eisenhower ask for an airstrike to relieve the french. congress lead, but was turned down, it was too soon after korea and when they were being bombarded by the communist chinese, eisenhower asked for what came to be known as the foremost that resolution. to take whatever military action was necessary to protect the nationalist chinese. and this was granted by a wide margin, and, again in 1957, when there was evidence of a communist insurrection in lebanon, eisenhower asked what he turned the eisenhower doctrine to give the freedom at any time to protect u.s. interests in the middle east, and they passed the doctrine by overwhelming margins. so johnson made clear, when asking that anything beyond the discretion in 1955. while the manner in which the top engulf resolution was obtained was indefensible it itself was not unprecedented. and that's what we will pick up next time, i'll see you next week.

as i mentioned to them previously, harry truman, never got a congressional declaration of war to fight in korea, in 1950. there was required to buy the constitution, he did not get it. technically, that was not the war. it was a un police sect. and i mention another lecture, eisenhower asked the congress to give the authority to launch an airstrike, to remove the french garrison in vietnam. this was led -- it was too soon after korea, memories of that war were two fresh. however and 1955, just a year later, when the islands were being bombarded by the communist chinese, eisenhower asked, for what came to be known as the formosa resolution. this resolution granted eisenhower the power to take whatever military action he felt was necessary, to protect the nationalist chinese. on formosa. this was granted. by a wide margin. yet in 1957, eisenhower asked what he termed the eisenhower doctrine, it gave him the freedom to dispatch american forces, at any time, to protect u.s. interest in the middle east. and congress passed by an overwhelming margin. we made clear, when asking for the resolu

create institutions like nato to support free trade and eventually the wto and they understood harry truman, george marshall, there was going to be some short-term cost of doing that. but they understood the marshall plan and those were devastated by war that was going to hurt us economically because we would not dominate the global economy in the same way as we did in 1945. they understood that in the long run this was the greatest thing we could do because it would create a system of peace and prosperity from which we would be the biggest beneficiaries and that remains true today when we have about 4% of the world's population and 20% of global gdp. we are the biggest beneficiaries created but i fear that the benefits of the system are not well understood. there's been bipartisan support for this foreign policy supported by republican and democratic administrations for more than 70 years and this was created by the greatest generation isn't going to be defeated by china, north korea or any other country. the only way that it will be defeated is if we lose the will to keep fighting for tho

generated monstrous casualties, once likened to an okinawa from one end of japan to another, which harry truman said first. without refighting the entire scholarly debate over casualty estimates, let's say truman was correct. an invasion of japan would have been very bloody indeed. we are talking about japanese surrender, let me make one more point. you say to adam bombs did it by themselves and the invasion of manchuria did nothing on the decision to surrender, you can make the argument, the allies had no way of knowing that when they were begging stalin in february at yalta to join the war against japan. i like what the earlier speaker said about the adam bomb. .here invisible it requires an active imagination for anyone who is not a nuclear physicist wishes 99% of us. -- which is 99% of us. the allies did not know they were going to have a atom bomb. they were spending a lot of money on it and there were assurances from the scientists. but nobody knew there going to have an atomic bomb. they knew they would need soviet help and we need to negotiate with stalin to get it. i think this is a go

he said harry truman said if you want a friend in washington get a dog. and i said you live in south bend. so he was saying dnc chair. definitely. [laughter] so it was very clear from the first time i met him first of all that he has raw political talent. incredibly talented. he has his eye on something bigger than south bend i think he and everybody else thought it was dnc chair but in late 2018 then i swung by to visit him on my road trip and we drove around the whole city and it's interesting. and then to practice he is objectively dorky but the people don't like it so that so much of his affect has to do with being in the closet 33 years. he knew that he was gay from a young age and also knew he wanted a political career so from the time he was literally three years old he said he's exactly the same person as he is now. never lost his temper, controlle temper, controlled, self-posses. with the approach to the world never had a flameout or any loss of control of any kind and i looked for people who hated him in high school for a couple weeks how did yo

when harry truman signed this law in 1950 during the korean war, the point of it was in time of a crisisr emergency, is to nationalize for a time a business, to have the government instruct businesses what to do, how to help, and how the supply line goes. but one thing we're told the president has been sending out mixed signals for the last week or so, he says he's invoked it, he's signed it but not put it into order because it's not necessary, but jake, one thing that's missing is the supply chain, sending things where they need to go. some administration officials said if the chamber of commerce and others are saying it's not necessary, they don't want to nationalize these businesses. but what is lacking is the priority for these states. that's the open question, beyond the point of even getting those things into the pipeline now, as governor cuomo is saying earlier today. >> jeff, it's confusing, because president trump says he doesn't need to do it, but then the president's own fema administrator contradicted him and said that they were using it. >> reporter: jake, that was extraordi

franklin roosevelt chose harry truman by happenstance, because he wanted to get rid of henry wallace. it's viewed as a great stroke of good fortune that he chose truman with only a few months to live. anyway, if sherman doesn't take atlanta, there's lincoln -- and does lincoln lose? if atlanta is not taken, will mcclellan sue for peace? i think you would have lost and mcclellan would've sued for peace. comment on lincoln's love of the opera. when he was in new york in 1861 on his way to the first inaugural, and he stayed at the astor house near city hall, he went to the opera. he caused great, because he wore black gloves instead of white gloves. people thought he was a bumpkin. it was the new york premiere of a verdi opera. i don't know why i remember that. but they stopped the performance when he came in. he was always late to the theater, interestingly. they stopped the performance. they brought down the fire curtain and they played hail to the chief. he was an interrupter of opera anyway.

franklin roosevelt chose harry truman by happenstance because he wanted to get rid of henry wallace. it is viewed today as a great stroke of good fortune that he chose truman with only a few months to live. if sherman does not take atlanta, does lincoln lose? if atlanta is not taken, will mcclellan necessarily sue for peace? i think he would have lost and i think mcclellan would have sued for peace. i knew i could do one easy answer. can you comment on lincoln's love of the opera? there was an opera performed at the second inaugural. i do know that when he was in new york in 1861 on his way to the first inaugural and he stayed at the astor house, he went to the opera. he caused great comment because he wore black gloves instead of white gloves. immediately everybody thought he was a bumpkin. it was the new york premiere of a verdi opera. i don't know why i remember that. but they stopped the performance when he came in. he was always late to the theater. they stopped performance. they brought down the fire curtain and they played "hail to the chief." he was an interrupter of opera an

stunning and when you think of it this way you will appreciate this it was 3 and a half years before harry trumanesegregated the united states, 7 years before brown versus board of education at 18 years before the civil rights movements. ricky is a hero of mine. he was the greatest sports executive of all time. you can put that in together. it was a wonderful story. >> i must say when i was a little girl is a brooklyn dodgers fan jackie robinson was my favorite player and i would like to think now it was because i knew what he represented for civil rights but if i'm honest it was just that he was so exciting as a player. he would get on first placement steel second and then steal third and completely rattled the picture so i loved him but i always wanted his autograph and there were always long lines. in those days you could wait. they didn't charge you for the autographs, you just go. i never got his. when i was a young teenager i went, some of you are older may remember is teenagers we had these ridiculous autograph books where you say i will love you until niagara falls or i will cherish you t

i mean, it will be remembered like harry truman holding up the paper saying "suck it, dewey." the keynote speaker of the breakfast was a man named arthur brooks, who had an important message of forgiveness. >> my friends, that is the theme of this breakfast today, love your enemies. >> stephen: what a beautiful sentiment. and so appropriate, following the divisive impeachment. the president immediately followed that with this: >> arthur, i don't know if i agree with you. but i don't know if arthur is going to like what i am going to say. >> stephen: sorry, i'm a little hoarse right now, but when i'm around so many christians, the demon just pops out, you know. ( laughter ) factus sum sicut homo sine adjutorio inter motuuos liber. so not a lot of love and forgiveness at the prayer breakfast, specifically toward utah senator mitt romney, seen here after one chocolate milk. ( laughter ) romney was the only republican who voted to convict trump, and he justified his decision by citing his oath to god. trump also attacked nancy pelosi, who has said she prays for him, and here is hi

many who when he said i accept no responsibility for it, i kind of shook my head, remembering harry truman saying "the buck stops here." but here's why i don't want to dwell on that, don. i feel especially badly for those who really follow president trump and believe in him, and, you know, there are quite a few people in our country that do. >> yeah. >> i don't agree with his policies, but those who follow him, i'm afraid many of them have been misled into thinking that some of his earlier statements about using the word hoax and used it in a specialized way, but saying it was going to disappear, those kinds of things, i feel badly for those who believe that stuff and have not been protecting themselves. and we still have states that have not adopted the kind of policies that dr. fauci and the real experts have advised, partly because they -- they've made it kind of a political, partisan kind of issue. now, i think the president, to his credit, has been moving away from that. i think he's -- >> mm-hmm. >> -- learned that you can't gaslight a virus. you've really got to pay attention to wha

the two presidents who occupy the office trump sits in in world war ii, franklin roosevelt and harry trumanoth were able to steer the country when it needed it most. while president truman is remembered for the sign he famously kept on his desk, the buck stops here, this was president trump's reaction on friday, two days ago, when asked about those tests. >> dr. fauci said earlier this week that the lag in testing was, in fact, a failing. do you take responsibility for that, and when can you guarantee that every single american who needs a test will be able to have a test? what's the date of that? >> no, i don't take responsibility at all. >> mistakes are understandable. perfect cannot be the standard. but if you take no responsibility in the toughest times, than can you expect to rally americans in a test of national crisis. fdr could lead america during world war ii because he backed up these words from his first inauguration nearly a decade earlier when the country was still mired in the great depression. >> let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

the abuses at the margins of presidential power, not abraham lincoln suspending habeas corpus or harry truman seizing the steel mills. it is not these big sweeping actions that you say is the presidency actually capable of doing that? the abuses of donald trump are abuses at the very core of presidential power where the power of the president is uncontested. nobody doubts the authority of the president to fire the fbi director, including the fbi director who responded to being fired by saying the president can fire me for any reason or no reason at all. nobody doubts the authority of donald trump to dismiss jeff sessions as attorney general including jeff sessions because jeff sessions displeased the president because he recused himself but these were profoundly abusive things donald trump has done. nobody doubts the authority of the president to tweet, to speak his mind, 95% of the abuses of donald trump is not rudeness. it is speech. it is the president using speech in a fashion that is radically different than any president has done before. not doubting the authority to do it and get if yo

harry truman would have done this already. come on, it's time. >> mayor deblasio, good luck to you.ood luck to all the folks in new york city, around the united states and around the world. this is a global crisis. thank you for joining us. >> thank you, wolf. >>> coming up, we'll speak live to the mayor of washington, d.c. i'll ask her about the enormous challenges she's facing in getting people to follow social distancing in the nation's capital. the strong measures being put in place to keep visitors from flocking to an annual tradition. this could be very, very dangerous. hold my pouch. trust us. us kids are ready to take things into our own hands. don't think so? hold my pouch. completing your 2020 census could mean smoother roads. or more emergency rooms. or more representation in our government. the census counts us all. and an accurate count helps inform where billions go every year. so, don't miss your chance to be counted. we're kind of depending on you here. complete the census, online, by phone, or by mail. shape your future. start here at 2020census.gov. eh, not enough

that's harry truman. without fighting the entire scholarly debate, let's say truman was correct on some level, an invasion on japan would have been very bloody indeed. but while we're talking about japanese surrender, let me make one more point and dr. plokhii did make it and it bears repeating, even if you say two did it all by themselves, the invasion of manchuria meant nothing to the japanese decision to surrender, i'm sure there are people in the room who would say that, you can make the argument, even if you say that, the allies had no way of knowing that when they were begging stalin in february at yalta to join the war against japan. i like what he said about the atom bomb. invisible thing. then you ram them into one another and they blow up. it does. it requires an act of imagination for anyone who is not a nuclear physicist, which is 99.9% of us in this room. any nuclear physicists in the room? i feel like i should ask before i say something really stupid. okay. the allies didn't know they were g

i also think, reverend sharpton, this charge of socialism, they made that charge against harry truman, they made that charge against dr. king, against barack obama. that charge is something the republicans always throw out there. bernie sanders is just talking about common sense. getting us out of bad wars and investing in education and infrastructure and health care. so i actually think he's the best to lead on the coronavirus. i mean think about it. we're only as safe as the least ensured amongst us. people are concerned about getting a test because they don't want to pay the $3,000 in a fee. what bernie sanders would do is make sure that the testing is free for everyone, the treatment is free. >> certainly sitting here in selma, i would totally agree with you they use the red scare on the civil rights leaders ahead of me and even those ma then tored me, to try to tag them as communists or socialists, that's a tactic that many of us in the activist spot of the black community know well. you're correct. that is unfair and that has a long history. sanders campaign national co-chair ro

harry truman with a not be amused.t experts seem increasingly to be driving the white house response and have credibility that the president has squandered with his reality field distortion dependence. it is going to require responsible changes from all of us. even new york mayor bill de blasio who called for the nation to be put on a war footing and then promptly went to the gym. old habits are hard to break. you just knew trump was going to pull a trump. >> i rate it a ten. i think we have done a great job. >> and that's your reality check. >> john, thank you very much. >>> dr. sanjay gupta back to answer more of your coronavirus questions next. we might see this... or this. but the biggest fight of our lives is happening right here. drug companies are putting corporate profits over our health. lives are at stake. that's why aarp and our force of 38 million members are leading the fight to make drug companies lower drug prices for everyone. join us in fighting for what's right. the ups and downs of frequent mood swin
