it gave ike fits. we were in the new crops, new things were emerging that were extremely important and he thought we could be getting rid of some of the subsidies. by the end of eight years of fighting, they were right where they were when he started. he didn't win that fight. he fought for eight years, but didn't win. >> i was not born in that era. >> i was wandering around like a politician. >> i thank you for that. i was wondering your insight. take us back to when president ike versus president or running stevenson. >> yes. well, he ran against stevenson and won. he was a national hero. he had to learn how to do it. he came to kansas and gave his first speech in the rain. whoo, it was awful. it looked really bad at that point. what he did was, he was flexible. he knew he could be educated and he got instruction and help to teach him how to run a political campaign. stevenson was i would say moderate, in the middle of the democratic party. he was running uphill because of ike's popularity, partly as

his big brother was called big ike. in high school he was called little ike. that is a burden to carry around for four years. and who was the captain of the football team? not little ike. no. you have to suffer through that. put those men together, one younger one older, and you get a real hangup about authority. ike kind of rejected his father. he started to smoke cigarettes. at d-day he was smoking four packs a day. four packs. that means you are lighting a cigarette off a cigarette. i do not recommend that for anyone. i have a strong interest in public health, and believe me. i do not recommend that. he rejected his father. he learned to play poker. he learned to drink. his father hated that. he was turning away from his family in a significant way. and they were pacifists, and he went to the military academy. well, ok. so he hang ups about authority. he got a lot of demerits. a lot of them for smoking. he would sneak around and do things. i wondered about that. i thought, well, here is a man who became a terrific professional soldier. he does not seem to c

ike is a paradox in this regard. he wanted to avoid war, he did but he invested greatly in the tools of the war. the second area of his achievements i want to talk on was in the economy. here's a fact you might not have known the eisenhower balanced three bunts out of eight and he came pretty close on the others, except for the first one, which was truman's deficit. this is a record of fiscal discipline unmatched by any of his successors until bill clinton managed to balance a few budgets in the late 1990's and i want to talk about a figure often held up as a leading conservative figure. ronald reagan sometimes is held up as the archetypal conservative leader but he added $1.4 trillion to the national debt and didn't come close to balancing a budget. and the reason is reagan was much more interested in cutting taxes. ike and reagan had very different ideas about taxes. eizenhower was very stern about taxes. he demanded that the u.s. buffalo. should be balanced before everyone got a tax cut. worry, -- boy, does that d

and ike. when democratic party took control of the senate johnson became majority lead earnhardt the two of -- leader and the two of them couldn't have been more opposite.r the two of -- leader and the two of them couldn't have been more opposite. it's a fascinating study. a wonderful compliment toopposi. it's a fascinating study. a wonderful compliment to studying ike. one of the signature achievements, i mean, they really went at it, linden johnson was really trying to under cut eisenhower. there's a fascinating story about getting the 1957 civil rights act through. johnson is a southerner and democrat and he had to deal with his faction of southern democrats who were very hostile to civil rights and desegregation and to warren and brount decision. here comes eisenhower and says i want to strengthen the powers of the justice department so attorney general can investigate, go down in the south, say things like the emmitt till murder cannot happen, those guys walking free. which is what happen

ike was a fascinating study. he didn't know much about the civil rights movement, and he was not all that interested initially before he became president. he fwru up his entire career being in the segregated united states military. most of his coworkers were southerners. he liked going to augusta, georgia. so he didn't really÷t have a pot of reference. but i think this is interesting and worthy of note. he accumulated a progressive record on civil rights. he and his attorney general worked through the courts to weaken jim crow segregation. they appointed five reasonably adjusted justices. warren would write brown versus the board of education. eisenhower had some qualms, but he didn't denounce it, seek to under mine it, or question the supreme court. and he never would dream of doubting it publicly. he would sign into law the 1957 civil rights act. and it took an enormous risk. a real risk uncharacteristic when he ordered federal troops to surround central high school in little rock, arkansas. eisenhower saw the

marshall calls ike into his office. he explains all the problems that the army has in defeating the japanese. then he asked eisenhower, how do we solve those problems? eisenhower says, give me a couple hours. he walks off, starts with a blank piece of paper, and proceeds to think through the problem. how would we operate in the pacific? a couple of hours later he says, here is what i think we ought to do. we should stage troops out of australia. build a coalition of willing nations to work with us in order to beat back the japanese. we need to make sure our lines of communications are always open. so we can supply the coalition soldiers with the equipment they need. marshall listens quietly, nods and says, i agree with you, go make it happen. he just got a job, and he also turned to marshall and said, don't wait for me to approve every move, solve the problems and tell me about it later. ike understood he was there to make important decisions and make things happen. he was just given a test and he had just passed. he wa

but ike made his bosses look really good. so even though mcarthur and eisenhower didn't get along great he still wouldn't let eisenhower go because he was just a great staff officer. while other officers were being weeded out of the army, particularly during the great depression, eisenhower continued to get promoted pretty steadily. during the great depression, lead up to world war ii, marshall is looking for a commander who can work with senior commanders from other nations and can organize diverse interests in a common goal. he had not identified that man in december when pearl harbor takes place. although eisenhower's stock was pretty high. eisenhower and marshall were also complete opposites. marshall was pretty reserved and proper and ike was very outgoing, always smiling and joking, he's ready to chat with anyone for extended periods of time. and he hosted dinner parties on a pretty regular basis. he's very social. again, the opposite of marshall. eisenhower was never called ike. marshall never called anybody by their f

among others with ike, he spied george patent and omar bradley. and he became one of ike's primary mentors as the army chief of staff from 1939 to 1945. marshall, of course, went onto become the secretary of state and win a nobel peace prize. david mills is an assistant professor of military history at the command and general staff college. he has a ph.d. in history from north dakota state university and the distinction of being the first person to earn a doctorate in history from the school in 2009. he spoke at the library two years ago on operation snowbound about the mammoth federal response to the blizzard of 1949, which stretched from kansas to the canadian border. we're so welcome to have david back tonight. please welcome david mills.

which means some president can be really close with the vice president ike obama and biden really close. some president can do with a certain cabinet members, and some presidents refer to rely on family members like kennedy whose brother was in the cabinet and they were very close. or friends or of the people that they happen to know. and that legacy very much affects how modern presidents work because we still have much oversight over those advisory relationships. >> the next question is from sean. did george washington really offer hamilton his choice of either treasury or state? if hamilton had chosen state, who would have been our first treasury secretary? >> no, he didn't. so depending on the evidence that you look at, some people say washington first offered treasury to robert morris which makes a lot of sense because they were very close friends. robert morse had been the treasury secretary during the confederation period and according to myths, moore's declines and encourage washington to pick hamilton for the treasury secretary. which probably would've been a second choice anyw

part of the result, i think, of the president not taking more forceful national action when ik comesog care of the supply chain on these things or taking more control over when states close and open back uphi that's som he's definitely left to the states. robert: phil, what are we hearing about this new target of china on the president's radar? is he actually going to take action against china? >> well,ob, he has threatene to take action. he's considering it. and sort of vaguely said that he would thate thinks china should be punished. he has found ways and really over many weeks now to point the finger at china to blame the chinese for allowing this vus to escape its borders, fowir al it to spread first to europe but then to the united states. but it's uncar what action that will be exactly. the one thing driving the president is he wants a toppear tough on china. he see this is as a central campaign issue. he's trying to draw a contrast with vice president biden who was part o the obama administration and the pivot to asia severea ago. trump is trying to usehis coronavirus pandemic

if you're a producer for an audience of one so a custom shoe or customary or a custom or thought ik thoseare not going to be produced a mass of factories going to be much more economical to produce those using 3 d. printing and so but all of those materials still need to get to the 3 d. manufacturer and instead of you know shipping out you know thousands of things and balk you're going to have thousands of individual shipments so to a company like u.p.s. that's very good it might be good for u.p.s. but less so for traffic and the environment it means more trucks delivering more products and emitting more pollution an effect we've already seen with the rise of online shopping and there are other risks for example how can 3 d. printing companies prevent the manufacture of illegal weapons. what we're doing we make sure we screen every company that we're making parts for to ensure that they're not making unregulated firearms vigilance and. that criminals will always find ways to get the weapons they want homemade firearms are nothing new but today's high quality 3 d. printing materials can wi
