, taft can't. eisenhower got the nomination, conservatives were update, they looked up to him, had a great amount of admiration for. they all came on board, taft joined forces with eisenhower in the post-convention time in the campaign, taft then became the majority leader in the senate, and he and eisenhower worked closely together, but as time went on, conservatives, again, there weren't that many of them and they didn't have much of a national voice, but they became pretty uncomfortable with eisenhower. one of the things that really affected them when the russians invaded booud pest in 1956 and we didn't do anything, conservatives, anti-communists thought this was a time we needed to react, send troops in there, defend the counter-revolutionaries in budapest and nothing happened. by the time eisenhower left office in 1961, conservatives felt that he hadn't really served them particularly well. >> who is willmore kendall? >> he was a philosopher, political philosopher, yale graduate, bill buckley

. >> the modern supreme court building was taft's initiative. prior to the new building, they met in the old senate chamber in the basement of the capitol. it was cramped. there was no room for private offices. the justices put on their robes and then had to walk down the hall to the courtroom, and taft thought that as one of the three main branches of the government, the supreme court ought to have a building that was comparable to the capitol or the white house, and he pushed it through. brandeis always liked the old courtroom. he liked the idea that the court was a small body, one man, each with one clerk, doing the business of the government. he liked that. and when the new building opened, he refused to move into it. his wife was furious. so, one time -- in fact, they kept his chambers open to the public so that when they were running tours through the building, this is where they could show what a justice's chambers looked like because his was unoccupied, and one time alhis brandeis wanted to see it, so she snuck down there and when she ca

he was appointed to the supreme court by taft. resigned. later became secretary of state. and then was named chief justice by hoover. and brandeis thought the world of him. they didn't agree on everything, you know, juries prudencecial. his investment into the insurance industry was exactly the way he would have done it and he liked the way hughes ran the conference. he thought hughes was the best chief justice, you know, he'd ever met. >> in the context of the insurance business back there, i wrote down that you said he had a strong aversion to the curse of bigness. but what impact did he have on it, and what -- the whole business of becoming a consumer's lawyer? >> in the chapter on -- which i call "perfect reform", what i tried to do brandeis the epitome of what made him such an effective reform. he's opposed to bigness. he's opposed to bigness in business. he's opposed to bigness in government. he always says man is a weak thing and has limited ability. and while he recognized that in modern society you had to have delegation, you had to have, you know, one person coul

and, along with the taft-- hartley act, the labor management relations act, these two laws served tostablish the procedures whereby unions could be established without employer intervention. the initial process for organizing a union requires that the union representatives go into a factory or a plant, or perhaps even an entire company, but in the bargaining unit, obtain the signatures on what they refer to as authorization cards, of 30% of the employees; which means that 30% of the employees are interested in having a union election held. once the authorization cards are turned in, then the national labor relations board, which was the federal agency set up by congress in the national labor relations act, will then require that an election be held. >> the nlrb will then verify the election results and declare whether a collective bargaining agent has been selected or not and if so, if there are several unions vying for this collective bargaining agent position, they will designate which one of the competing unions has prevailed as the selected bargaining agent for the employees.

in large part, i think, because of the 1937 taft-hartley law, labor has declined much more rapidly in the united states than comparable countries. you actually have strong labor movements still in much of western europe. you do not in the united states except in the public sector. in the private sector, private sector union density right now is down to 7%. only 7% of the private work force is unionized. that's about where we were when franklin roosevelt got elected president, um, and a sentence that i write in my book here and was tempted to write in several other places of the book as well is it's as if the new deal never happened. another cause is a shortage of skilled labor, and that is caused by the leveling off of the high school graduation rate in the 1970s. this is a hypothesis that was forwarded and, i think, is very persuasive forwarded by harvard economists. as they point out in their book "the race between education and technology," at the start of the 20th century there was something called the high school movement where people were building high schools all around the cou

what is interesting about that election is with the exception of taft, all of the candidates are running with class language and having real mobilization around the issue. the 1930's and of being somewhat different. we all think of franklin roosevelt running around class language in 1932, but especially in 1936. the issue is not as much in the quality, because some of the people are poor that you have this mass experience. i think the interesting parallel because the political language, and also to my great dismay we are actually back in terms of physical inequality where we were at the beginning of the 20th century. >> at the constitutional convention or the writing of the declaration of independence, john adams got an argument with john dickinson of pennsylvania, and he said, will you never understand that people would rather have the chance of getting rich than face the reality of being for? -- of being poor? >> it is so counter intuitive. i covered of election to just tax the top 1 percent in the state of washington. both bill gates and his father were supporting this initiative to p

is the smallest in the others being the dominant party in midwest, which we associate with robert taft. and those from the larger cities of the northeast and west coast, and in the progressives was rockefeller, and those who were largely liberal on civil rights and civil liberties issues and who are mostly found in the northeast. the balance of power had been eisenhower years by that held during the dwight moderates. eisenhower had very little use for the conservatives. he said that number is negligible and the they are stupid. other colorful marks to the effect. richard nixon, had he won the 60s, at that point, the conservatives around bill buckley were not sure whether the republican party or democratic party would make it a better vehicle for their cause. maybe even a third party could have been a realistic possibility. as it turned out, the party machinery was captured in 1964 for the nomination of barry goldwater. this did not limit them by any means. after that, there was a fight by the moderates to retake control of the party to retain some influence of the party. that continued

and it really began back during labor heyday, 1947 with the passage of the taft hartley law which made it very, very difficult to organize. and i think its effects were not seen for awhile because the labor movement was on the rise among but i think it acted as a slow acting poison on the labour movement. and in the 1980's starting with ronald reagan, actually, before reagan in the last years of the carter administration we started seeing government for, first congress and then the white house under ronald reagan turning against the labor movement. the failure of the major labor bill in 78. we saw of ronald reagan, the union, that obviously was a public union, not a private union. they had a huge impact on the private -- private labor movement as well. president reagan appointed somebody head of the nlrb who was openly hostile to labor. the government just became much more sympathetic to unions -- union busting, and that think that had a huge impact. any other questions to back. ♪ well, thank you so much.

they picked eisenhower over taft. the on other times they were in doubt was 1976 with reagan challenging ford. so close, it was not decided until the week of the convention, and then, of course, 1980, there was a chance kennedy might have overcame carter in the democratic convention. if we have this again because of the delegate situation, it's hard to say. we don't 1 the pour brokers we used to. all the openness means there's no -- anybody's in control. back in 1952, there was party leaders and bosses who could control the delegations saying, okay, everybody from missouri, idaho, wyoming, this is how we are vote. you vote this way, and if you don't, you'll lose your job. we don't have a system like that anymore. this will be utter chaos. it may be similar to the 1924 democratic convention which timely nominated john w. davis on the 103 ballot leading will rogers to quit. people in the future, kids will sit on grandpa's knee asking what you did in the big war. i didn't do that, but i survived the 1924 convention. it w
