won by arthur schlesinger junior called 1000 days, about the presidency of john f. kennedy, and another book about president kennedy by ted sorenson, i believed it was just called kennedy. he thought put his administration in a poor light. he put out a memo to his friends and said i will take these things out of the top of my head but it's this detailed memo and we often at work refer to it as ex top ten. he listed about 23 things. i have some of them here on the screen for your consideration that of course he added to states, rather, two unions were added in an ex presidency, silence seaway was built, the first civil rights bill in 80 years, won a 1915 seven 1957 a 1960 dealing largely with voting rights that were passed, the most ambitious road program by any nation at all, history of course is our interstate highway system. eisenhower did not completely reject the new deal. in fact, he really accommodated much of fdr's new deal, and harry truman's fairytale. the interstate highway system cost more that all of the new deal social programs combined. it was a massive public

of john f kennedy administration next slide please. in terms of what you might say were ike's failures. sam alluded to senator joseph mccarthy. anti-communist crusade and and hearings eisenhower was very antimicarthy and really worked behind the scenes which preferred to do. and combating mccarthy, but did not confront mccarthy directly which is still a better debate. they're still being books published even in the last few months of eisenhower's dealings with joe mccarthy of whether he took the right tact or not. so that's one that's not going away anytime soon. he admittedly self did not convert to republican party to what he called his middleweight governing philosophy. and he did not provide moral. rhetorical support in terms of civil rights and as a civil rights leader, it was a little tepid. for example after the brown versus boring supreme court case you didn't say you know, this is the just decision, you know, it's way overdue. he just said the supreme court has spoken and i was warned up hold the law which looked like that he

called "a thousand days" about the presidency of john f. kennedy and another book about president kennedy by ted sorenson just called "kennedy," he thought it put his administration in a really poor light. so he put out a memo to his friends. he said, i just dashed these things off the top of my head. but it's this really kind of detailed memo. we often at work refer to it as ike's top ten. he actually lists 23 things. i just have some of them here on the screen for your consideration. of course he added two states to the union during his presidency. the st. lawrence sea way was built. significantly, the first civil rights bill in 80 years, one in 1957, one in 1960, dealing largely with voting rights, were passed. the most ambitious road program by any nation in all history of course is our interstate highway system. eisenhower did not completely reject the new deal. in fact he really accommodated much of fdr's new deal and harry truman's fair deal. the interstate highway system cost more than all of the new deal social programs and work programs c

lost the battle for presidency against john f. kennedy in 1960. ran for governor of california and lost. moved to new york city to practice law. and then jumped back into the political arena in 1968. he called it the great game. and he beat democrat hubert humphrey in a tight election that year. so as you can see here, nixon was almost pugilistic. he battled constantly with congress as he sought to expand his executive power. a great example in the book is nixon's aggressive attempt to impound funds in order to thwart pieces of legislation passed by congress that he didn't like. for example, in october of 1972, you see congress was forced to override nixon's veto of amendments to the clean water act. the environment was becoming extremely important in the country at that time. nixon refused to spend this money. he didn't agree with it. he defied congress. ultimately, congress was forced to pass the impoundment control act of 1974 to control these sorts of abuses by nixon and his administration. similarly in 1973, something we see a lot in the late

john f. kennedy in his finest hour made the great decision which removed soviet union nuclear missiles from cuba in the person i have noted -- out that i. do not contend, it is in the same magnitude as these decisions. that i have just mentioned. but between those decisions and this decision, there is a difference that is very fundamental. in those decisions, the american people were not -- by doubt and deceit by some of the most widely known opinion leaders of the nation. i have no deferred example a republican senator said that this action that i have taken means that my party has lost all chance of winning the november elections. and others are saying today that this move against enemy sanctuaries will make me a one term president. no one is more aware than i am of the political consequences of the action i have taken. it is tempting to take the easy political path, to blame this war on previous administrations and bring all of our men home immediately regardless of the consequences, even though t

john f. kennedy said all the powers of the presidency was unable to control the columnist. lbj did his best to co-opt him. and nixon put him at the top of his enemies list. to register an international perspective on all this, winston churchill once dubbed drew pearson the most colossal liar in the united states. so i discovered a pattern. pearson certainly made his share of mistakes. usually through haste of his understanding and sometimes the people who leaked to him were less than honest about their intentions. i never found an instance where he knowingly lied. instead it was his accusers who lied regularly to cover their own tracks. raised as a quaker, he regarded truth seeking as both a moral obligation and a self-defense mechanism. he was sued for liable. at least 120 times. more than any other journalist. and he won every case except for one. and that one he would have tried to appeal except his lawyers said it would be cheaper to settle it out of court. the way he won all those cases was by d

people forget the 1963 march was not a march to support john f. kennedy. it was a march on john f. manding he pass the original civil rights act. he had to be pushed to do that and that anniversary is coming up this weekend on the 28th to force there to be a civil rights act. last word to you. how do you convince people like manchin, like sinema, like the other eight who won't admit it but they're also on their side on the filibuster, that this is job one for them to pass these bills? >> well, republicans seem to understand very well that this is their number one job. that's why they keep bringing us back to get this job done. so i'm not understanding why we don't understand this is a foundational right, just like in 1965. beto is right. we need washington to help us in these states where they're silencing our people and really robbing us of our democracy. >> yeah. good luck to y'all d.c. democrats getting reelected if the laws say that the republicans can just change the votes around after you win and say that you lost. i don't know how you think you're going to organize around tha
